Hereinafter, embodiments of a slot machine, which is a type of gaming machine, will be described. In the present specification, each direction of up, down, left, right, front (front), and rear refers to each direction when viewed from a player playing a game on a slot machine.

As shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine 10 includes a square box-shaped main body cabinet 11. The main body cabinet 11 has an opening (not shown) on the front surface. The slot machine 10 includes a front door 12 that covers the opening of the main body cabinet 11. The front door 12 is supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the main body cabinet 11.

The slot machine 10 is provided with a decorative lamp 13 on the front door 12 capable of executing a light emitting effect of turning on, turning off, or blinking the light emitting body. The slot machine 10 is provided with a speaker 14 on the front door 12 capable of performing a sound effect that outputs sounds such as sound effects, music, and voice. The slot machine 10 is provided with an effect display device 15 on the front door 12 capable of executing a display effect of displaying an image imitating a character or a character. As the effect display device 15, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like can be adopted. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 15 functions as an effect execution means. The slot machine 10 is provided with a substantially quadrangular display window 12a on the front surface of the front door 12 and below the effect display device 15 so that the player can see through the inside of the machine.

The slot machine 10 includes a reel unit 16. The reel unit 16 is arranged inside the machine so that the player can see it through the display window 12a. The reel unit 16 includes a left reel 16a (first reel), a middle reel 16b (second reel), and a right reel 16c (third reel). The slot machine 10 includes a plurality of reels. The reels 16a to 16c are spinning reels, which are also called drums. A plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the reels 16a to 16c. The reels 16a to 16c each include a symbol sequence in which a plurality of symbols are identifiablely arranged along the outer peripheral surface thereof. The symbol row is provided by winding a strip-shaped translucent film (reel sheet) on which a plurality of symbols are printed along the longitudinal direction around the outside of the reels 16a to 16c. There are a plurality of types of symbols. For example, multiple types of symbols include a cherry symbol that imitates a cherry, a watermelon symbol that imitates a watermelon, a bell symbol that imitates a bell, a seven symbol that imitates "7", and a bar symbol that imitates the characters "BAR". And a replay pattern that imitates the characters "REPLAY" is included.

The reel unit 16 includes an actuator that rotates and stops the left reel 16a, an actuator that rotates and stops the middle reel 16b, and an actuator that rotates and stops the right reel 16c (none of which is shown). .. As an actuator for rotating and stopping the reels 16a to 16c, for example, a stepping motor can be adopted. The reels 16a to 16c can be rotated and stopped in the vertical direction independently of each other by the actuators provided corresponding to the reels 16a to 16c. In the slot machine 10, when the reels 16a to 16c are rotated, the symbol sequence (a plurality of types of symbols) that can be visually recognized is changed through the display window 12a, and the variable game is executed by this. For example, the variation of the symbol sequence is performed in such a manner that the symbol sequence is scrolled vertically from the top to the bottom. In this way, the slot machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a variable game by rotating (operating) a reel in which a plurality of symbols are arranged. Further, the reel unit 16 detects the left reel sensor SE1 for detecting the rotation position of the left reel 16a, the middle reel sensor SE2 for detecting the rotation position of the middle reel 16b, and the rotation position of the right reel 16c. It is equipped with a right reel sensor SE3 for this purpose (shown in FIG. 7).

As shown in FIG. 2, the display window 12a is configured such that the rotation of each reel 16a to 16c is stopped so that the symbol stopped at the stop position of the symbol can be visually recognized. Each reel 16a to 16c is set with a symbol stop position for stopping the symbol so that the player can see it through the display window 12a. A plurality of symbols are set to stop positions on the reels 16a to 16c. On the left reel 16a, the first upper stop position A1 corresponding to the stop position of the symbol visible at the upper position of the display window 12a, and the second stop position corresponding to the stop position of the symbol visible at the middle position of the display window 12a. 1 The first lower stop position C1 corresponding to the stop position of the symbol that can be visually recognized at the middle stop position B1 and the lower position of the display window 12a is set. Further, the middle reel 16b corresponds to the second upper stop position A2 corresponding to the stop position of the symbol visible at the upper position of the display window 12a, and the stop position of the symbol visible at the middle position of the display window 12a. The second lower stop position B2 and the second lower stop position C2 corresponding to the stop position of the symbol that can be visually recognized at the lower position of the display window 12a are set. Similarly, on the right reel 16c, at the third upper stop position A3 corresponding to the stop position of the symbol visible at the upper position of the display window 12a, and at the stop position of the symbol visible at the middle position of the display window 12a. The corresponding third middle stop position B3 and the third lower stop position C3 corresponding to the stop position of the symbol that can be visually recognized at the lower position of the display window 12a are set.

Of the stop positions of the symbols visible from the display window 12a, the first upper stop position A1, the second upper stop position A2, and the third upper stop position A3 are located in a straight line on the display window 12a. Further, among the stop positions of the symbols visible from the display window 12a, the first middle stage stop position B1, the second middle stage stop position B2, and the third middle stage stop position B3 are located in a straight line on the display window 12a. Similarly, among the stop positions of the symbols visible from the display window 12a, the first lower stop position C1, the second lower stop position C2, and the third lower stop position C3 are located in a straight line on the display window 12a. Further, the upper stop positions A1 to A3, the middle stop positions B1 to B3, and the lower stop positions C1 to C3 are located in parallel.

Symbols having a predetermined area are stopped at each of the stop positions A1 to A3, B1 to B3, and C1 to C3. Then, when the rotation of all the reels 16a to 16c is stopped, the player can visually recognize the nine symbols stopped at the respective stop positions A1 to A3, B1 to B3, and C1 to C3 from the display window 12a. Can be done. In addition, it can be considered that the display window 12a is set to a display position in which the stopped symbols can be visually recognized at the respective stop positions A1 to A3, B1 to B3, and C1 to C3. As described above, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the rotation of all the reels is stopped, nine symbols can be visually recognized by the display window 12a.

Then, in the slot machine 10, the stopped symbol combination can be determined as a prize by the combination of one stop position from the three stop positions of the upper stage, the middle stage, and the lower stage set for each of the reels 16a to 16c. A combination of valid stop positions is set. This "combination of effective stop positions that can determine the stopped symbol combination as a prize" corresponds to the effective line YL. The effective line YL is also called the winning line.

In the slot machine 10, an effective line YL (combination of effective stop positions) is configured by the first middle stage stop position B1, the second middle stage stop position B2, and the third middle stage stop position B3. In other words, the effective line YL is composed of a first middle stage stop position B1, a second middle stage stop position B2, and a third middle stage stop position B3. In this embodiment, the number of effective lines is "1". In the following description, the fact that the symbol stops at each stop position constituting the effective line YL may be indicated as "the symbol stops on the effective line YL".

In the following description, when the symbol combination stopped on the valid line YL is the symbol combination for which the prize is determined, it is regarded as "winning". In the slot machine 10, when a prize-determined symbol combination wins, the prize defined for the symbol combination is given. In the present specification, the "symbol combination derived in the variable game" corresponds to the symbol combination stopped on the effective line YL in the variable game. Further, in the present specification, the "symbol combination derived in the variable game" corresponds to nine symbol combinations visible from the display window 12a including the symbol combination stopped on the effective line YL. On the other hand, a stop position other than a valid stop can be said to be an invalid stop position. The combination of stop positions including the invalid stop position is a combination of invalid stop positions in which the stopped symbol combination cannot be determined as a prize due to internal control. This "combination of stop positions including an invalid stop position in which the stopped symbol combination cannot be determined as a prize" can be said to be an invalid line.

In the slot machine 10, examples of the invalid line composed of a combination of stop positions located on a straight line among a plurality of invalid lines include the following invalid lines ML1 to ML4. For example, the invalid line ML1 is composed of a first upper stop position A1, a second upper stop position A2, and a third upper stop position A3. The invalid line ML2 is composed of a first lower stop position C1, a second lower stop position C2, and a third lower stop position C3. The invalid line ML3 is composed of a first upper stop position A1, a second middle stop position B2, and a third lower stop position C3. The invalid line ML4 is composed of a first lower stop position C1, a second middle stop position B2, and a third upper stop position A3. Of the invalid lines ML1 to ML4, the invalid lines ML1 and ML2 correspond to "invalid lines not including a valid stop position", and the invalid lines ML3 and ML4 correspond to "invalid lines including a valid stop position".

As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the rotation of all the reels is stopped, nine symbols can be visually recognized by the display window 12a. In the present embodiment, the symbol combination is derived from the display window 12a as the result derivation unit by stopping the rotation of all the reels. Further, since the nine symbols visually recognizable through the display window 12a include all the symbols stopped at the stop positions of the symbols constituting the effective line YL, the symbol combination derived to the result derivation unit is It can also be regarded as a combination of symbols derived on the effective line YL. As described above, in the present embodiment, the display window 12a makes it possible to visually recognize some of the plurality of types of symbols on the stopped reel.

Further, "middle left and right" which is the third push order and "middle right and left" which is the fourth push order correspond to the push order in which the middle stop button 21b is first operated among the stop buttons 21a to 21c. Similarly, "right, middle, left" in the fifth pressing order and "right, middle, left" in the sixth pressing order correspond to the pressing order in which the right stop button 21c is first operated among the stop buttons 21a to 21c.

Next, the symbol combination for which the prize has been determined will be described with reference to FIG. The combination of symbols for which a prize has been set is also called a "role".
The symbol combinations (combinations) for which prizes have been determined include symbol combinations (payout combinations) for which medals are to be paid out as prizes and symbol combinations (replaying combinations) for which replays are defined as prizes. Replay is the ability to start the next variable game without having to bet medals.

The payout role includes, for example, a cherry role, a watermelon role, a bell role, and a single piece role.
For the role of cherry, a predetermined number of medals (two in this embodiment) are set to be paid out as a prize. In the following description, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the cherry combination is won is referred to as a "cherry stop eye". For the watermelon role, a predetermined number of medals (6 in this embodiment) are set to be paid out as a prize. In the following description, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the watermelon combination wins is referred to as a "watermelon stop eye". For the role of the bell, a predetermined number of medals (8 in this embodiment) are set to be paid out as a prize. In the following description, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the bell combination wins is referred to as a "bell stop eye". For the one-card combination, a predetermined number of medals (one in the present embodiment) are paid out as a prize. In the following description, a symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when a single winning combination is won is referred to as a "bell spill stop eye". In the present embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out includes not the number of medals actually paid out from the medal payout port 22, but the number of medals added as credits, and the medals given to the player. Corresponds to the number of medals.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the bell stop stitch is a symbol combination in which the bell symbol is stopped at all the stop positions B1 to B3 of the symbols constituting the effective line YL. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, when three bell symbols stop on the effective line YL, it can be specified that the bell stop stitch is derived, that is, the bell combination has won a prize.

The replay role is also called the replay role. Replay is defined as a prize for the replay role. In the following description, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the re-game combination wins is referred to as a "re-game stop eye".

As shown in FIG. 5, the re-gaming combination in the present embodiment includes a normal re-gaming combination, a bell re-gaming combination, and a promoted re-gaming combination. In the following description, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the normal re-game combination wins is referred to as a "normal re-game stop eye". Further, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the bell re-game combination wins is referred to as a "bell re-game stop eye". Further, the symbol combination that is stopped on the effective line YL when the promoted re-game combination wins is referred to as "promotion re-game stop eye".

As shown in FIG. 6B, the normal replay stop stitch is a symbol combination in which the replay symbol is stopped at all the stop positions B1 to B3 of the symbols constituting the effective line YL. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, when three replay symbols are stopped on the effective line YL, it can be specified that the normal replay stop item is derived, that is, the normal replay combination has won a prize.

As shown in FIG. 6 (c), at the time when the bell replay is stopped, the symbols displayed at the stop positions B1 to B3 of the symbols constituting the effective line YL are displayed one after the bell symbols on the reels 16a to 16c. There is a symbol combination that is stopped. When the symbols displayed one after the bell symbol on each reel 16a to 16c are stopped at the stop positions B1 to B3 of the symbols constituting the valid line YL, the stop positions C1 to the symbols constituting the invalid line ML2 are stopped. The bell symbol is stopped at all of C3. In addition, although not shown, at the time when the bell replay is stopped, a symbol displayed at the stop positions B1 to B3 of the symbols constituting the effective line YL is displayed one before the bell symbol on each reel 16a to 16c. There is a symbol combination that is stopped. When the symbols displayed one before the bell symbol on each reel 16a to 16c are stopped at the stop positions B1 to B3 of the symbols constituting the valid line YL, the stop positions A1 of the symbols constituting the invalid line ML1 are stopped. The bell symbol is stopped at all of A3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6D, at the bell replay stop, the symbol displayed one before the bell symbol on the left reel 16a is the stop position B1, the bell symbol is the stop position B2, and the right reel. In 16c, there is a symbol combination in which the symbol displayed one after the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B3. On the left reel 16a, the symbol displayed one before the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B1, the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B2, and on the right reel 16c, the symbol displayed one after the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B3. If so, the bell symbol is stopped at all of the stop positions A1, B2, and C3 of the symbols constituting the invalid line ML3. In addition, although not shown, at the bell replay stop in the present embodiment, the symbol displayed one after the bell symbol on the left reel 16a is the stop position B1, the bell symbol is the stop position B2, and the right reel 16c. There is a symbol combination in which the symbols displayed one before the bell symbol are stopped at the stop position B3. On the left reel 16a, the symbol displayed one after the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B1, the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B2, and on the right reel 16c, the symbol displayed one before the bell symbol is stopped at the stop position B3. If so, the bell symbol is stopped at all of the stop positions C1, B2, and A3 of the symbols constituting the invalid line ML4.

As described above, in the slot machine 10, when three bell symbols stop on any of the invalid lines ML1 to ML4, the bell replay stop eye is derived, that is, the bell replay combination is played. You can identify that you have won a prize.

The slot machine 10 is configured to be able to control the gaming state.
The gaming state in the slot machine 10 includes a first gaming state and a second gaming state. The second gaming state is a gaming state in which the winning of the re-gaming combination is more likely to be allowed than in the first gaming state. Therefore, in the second gaming state, the consumption of medals is suppressed as compared with the first gaming state. Therefore, it can be said that the second gaming state is more advantageous than the first gaming state. The second gaming state is the so-called "replay time (RT)". In the slot machine 10, when the promotion re-game combination wins in the first game state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the second game state. In the slot machine 10, when a single winning combination is won in the second gaming state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the first gaming state.

The slot machine 10 is configured so that the effect state can be controlled. There are multiple types of production states. In each effect state, the effect state identification information that can identify the effect state (controlled effect state) during the stay is notified. In the slot machine 10, for example, a background image different for each type of effect state is displayed on the effect display device 15, a decorative lamp 13 is emitted with a different emission color for each type of effect state, and each type of effect state is emitted. A different music (for example, background music) is output to the speaker 14, and the effect state identification information is notified. Therefore, the player can recognize the effect state during the stay from the background image displayed on the effect display device 15, the emission color of the decorative lamp 13, the music output from the speaker 14, and the like.

The effect state in the slot machine 10 includes a normal effect state and an advantageous effect state (shown in FIG. 10). The advantageous effect state includes a preparation effect state, a confrontation effect state, a reverse effect effect state, a revival effect state, a complete victory effect state, an ending effect state, and a victory effect state. In the present embodiment, among the advantageous effect states, the preparation effect state, the confrontation effect state, the reverse effect effect state, the revival effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state correspond to the specific states. The normal production state is mainly a production state in which the player stays in the first gaming state. The preparatory effect state is mainly an effect state in which the player stays in the first game state. The confrontation production state is mainly a production state in which the player stays in the second gaming state. The reverse effect state is mainly an effect state in which the player stays in the second gaming state. The revival production state is mainly a production state in which the player stays in the second gaming state. The complete victory production state is mainly a production state in which the player stays in the second gaming state. The ending effect state is mainly an effect state in which the player stays in the second game state. The winning production state is mainly a production state in which the player stays in the second gaming state.

In the slot machine 10, for example, an operation-related effect (hereinafter referred to as a navigation effect) for notifying the operation mode (operation timing and operation order) of the stop button for stopping the symbol combination for which the award is determined on the effective line YL). Is executed. The navigation effect is also called the push order navigation effect (push order navigation). In the slot machine 10, when the advantageous effect state is set, the ratio of the navigation effect being executed is higher than that in the normal effect state. Therefore, it can be said that the advantageous production state is a more advantageous production state than the normal production state. The advantageous production state is the so-called "assist time (AT)". As described above, the slot machine 10 is configured to be controllable to a specific state which is more advantageous than the normal effect state corresponding to the normal state.

Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, the slot machine 10 includes a main board 40 as a main control unit inside the machine. The main board 40 performs processing related to the progress of the game, and outputs a control signal (control command) according to the result of the processing. The slot machine 10 includes a sub-board 41 as a sub-control unit inside the machine. The sub-board 41 performs a predetermined process based on the control information output from the main board 40. For example, the sub-board 41 performs a process for executing a light emission effect by the decorative lamp 13, a sound effect by the speaker 14, and a display effect by the effect display device 15. The main board 40 is connected to the sub board 41.

First, the main board 40 will be described in detail.
The main board 40 includes a main control CPU 40a, a main control ROM 40b, and a main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a performs various processes by executing the main control program. The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program, a lottery table used for a predetermined lottery, a determination value, and the like.

The main control RAM 40c is configured to be able to store various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10. The information stored in the main control RAM 40c includes, for example, a flag, a counter, a timer, and the like. The information stored in the main control RAM 40c includes information related to credits and the like. The main board 40 is configured to be able to generate random numbers. For example, a random number may be generated as a hardware random number by mounting a random number generation circuit that updates the value of the random number at a predetermined cycle on the main board 40, and the main control CPU 40a may generate the random number at a predetermined control cycle. It may be generated as a software random number by updating the value.

The reel sensors SE1 to SE3 and the input sensor SE4 are connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to input detection signals output by various sensors SE1 to SE4 via a port (not shown). The actuators of the reels 16a to 16c are connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to control the operation of each actuator of the reels 16a to 16c via a drive circuit (not shown).

A bet button 18, a settlement button 19, a start lever 20, and stop buttons 21a to 21c are connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to input detection signals output by the bet button 18, the settlement button 19, the start lever 20, and the stop buttons 21a to 21c via a port (not shown). An information panel 30 is connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to control the display content of the information panel 30 via a drive circuit (not shown).

Here, among the lottery tables stored in the main control ROM 40b, the winning combination lottery table used for the internal lottery for determining the winning number from a plurality of winning numbers and the winning number will be described. The internal lottery for determining the winning number is a so-called combination lottery. The winning number determined in the winning combination lottery is also called a conditional device combination. Therefore, the combination lottery can be said to be a "conditional device combination lottery". In the following description, "the predetermined winning number is determined in the winning combination lottery" may be expressed as "winning the predetermined winning number in the winning combination lottery".

The winning number is control information in which one or more symbol combinations are defined as symbol combinations that can be derived (displayed) on the valid line YL. That is, the winning number is a conditional device identifier in which one or more winning combinations are defined as winning combinations in the variable game. The winning numbers in the slot machine 10 include, for example, a winning number that allows a cherry role to be won, a winning number that allows a watermelon role to be won, a winning number that allows a bell role to be won, and a winning number that allows a replaying role to be won. The number is included.

Among the winning numbers that allow the winning of the bell role, there is a winning number that allows the winning of the single role in addition to the bell role. The winning numbers that allow the winning of the bell role and the one-card winning combination include winning numbers in which the pushing order for winning the bell role and the pushing order for winning the one-card winning combination are different. For example, among the winning numbers that allow the winning of the bell combination and the one-sheet combination, if the stop button is operated in the predetermined pressing order, the bell combination wins, but the pressing order is different from the predetermined pressing order. There is a winning number in which one piece wins when the stop button is operated with.

Among the winning numbers that allow the replaying combination to win, there is a winning number that normally allows only the replaying combination to win. In addition, among the winning numbers that allow the winning of the re-gaming combination, there is a winning number that allows the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the bell re-gaming combination. The winning numbers that allow the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the bell re-gaming combination have different winning numbers from the pushing order for winning the normal re-gaming combination and the pushing order for winning the bell re-gaming combination. include.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the slot machine 10, there are a total of six types of winning numbers T1 to T6 in which winning of the normal replaying combination and the bell replaying combination is permitted.
In the winning number T1, "pushing order other than the first pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the normal replaying combination, and "first pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the bell replaying combination. Has been done. In the winning number T2, the "pushing order other than the second pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the normal replaying combination, and the "second pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the bell replaying combination. Has been done. In the winning number T3, the "pushing order other than the third pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the normal replaying combination, and the "third pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the bell replaying combination. Has been done. In the winning number T4, "pushing order other than the 4th pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the normal replaying combination, and "4th pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the bell replaying combination. Has been done. In the winning number T5, "pushing order other than the 5th pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the normal replaying combination, and "fifth pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the bell replaying combination. Has been done. In the winning number T6, "pushing order other than the 6th pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the normal replaying combination, and "6th pushing order" is defined as the pushing order for winning the bell replaying combination. Has been done.

In this way, in the winning numbers T1 to T6, which are the "winning numbers that allow the winning of the normal re-game combination and the bell re-game combination", one of the first push order to the sixth push order is the bell re-play. It is defined as the push order for winning the game role. Then, in the slot machine 10, for example, when the winning number T3 is won, if the stop button is operated in the third pressing order, the bell replaying combination wins a prize, while the pressing order other than the third pressing order (for example, for example). If the stop button is operated in the first push order), the replaying combination usually wins a prize.

In addition, among the winning numbers that allow the winning of the re-gaming combination, there is a winning number that allows the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the promoted re-gaming combination. The winning numbers that allow the normal re-game combination and the promoted re-game combination to win are different from the push order for winning the normal re-game combination and the push order for winning the promoted re-game combination. include. For example, among the winning numbers that allow the normal re-game combination and the promotion re-game combination to win, if the stop button is operated in the predetermined push order, the promotion re-game combination will win the prize, while the predetermined push order. If the stop button is operated in a different pressing order, there is usually a winning number in which the replay player wins. In the "winning number that allows the winning of the normal re-game combination and the promoted re-game combination", the sixth push order is defined as the push order for winning the promoted re-game combination.

In the following explanation, the case where the winning number that allows the winning of the cherry role in the winning combination lottery is won is referred to as "the case where the winning of the cherry role is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning number that allows the winning of the watermelon role in the winning combination lottery is won is indicated as "the case where the winning of the watermelon role is allowed". Similarly, the case where the winning number that allows the winning of the bell role in the winning combination lottery is won is indicated as "the case where the winning of the bell role is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning number that allows the winning of the re-gaming combination is won in the combination lottery is indicated as "the case where the winning of the re-gaming combination is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning number that allows the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the bell re-gaming combination is won in the combination lottery is indicated as "the case where the winning of the bell re-gaming combination is permitted". In addition, the case where the winning number that allows the normal re-game combination and the promoted re-game combination to be won in the combination lottery is indicated as "the case where the promotion re-game combination is allowed to win".

In the slot machine 10, the winning combination lottery table includes a first winning combination lottery table and a second winning combination lottery table. The first winning combination lottery table is used in the winning combination lottery when controlled by the first gaming state. The second winning combination lottery table is used in the winning combination lottery when controlled by the second gaming state. In the winning combination lottery table, the value of the random number used for the winning combination lottery (hereinafter referred to as the winning combination lottery random number) with respect to the winning number that can be determined is a numerical value within the range that can be taken as the value of the winning combination lottery random number. It is sorted by a predetermined number from among them. In the second role lottery table, the random number values for the role lottery are distributed so that the probability of adding up the determination rates of the winning numbers that allow the winning of the replaying combination is higher than that of the first role lottery table. .. In the slot machine 10, if any winning number is not won in the winning combination lottery (when winning of the winning combination is not allowed), the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is "missing". If the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order, the symbol combination for which the prize is determined is not derived on the effective line YL based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery. By the way, in the slot machine 10, in both the first role lottery table and the second role lottery table, the probability that the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win is the probability that the bell role is allowed to win, the normal replay. It is lower than the probability that a winning combination is allowed and the probability that a bell replaying role is allowed to be won. The role of cherry and the role of watermelon are so-called rare roles. In particular, in the slot machine 10, the probability that the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to be won in both the first role lottery table and the second role lottery table is such that the bell role or the bell replaying role is allowed to win. Lower than probability.

Next, the sub-board 41 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 7, the sub-board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a, a sub-control ROM 41b, and a sub-control RAM 41c. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a performs various processes (for example, processes related to the effect) by executing the sub-control program. The sub-control ROM 41b stores the sub-control program, the lottery table used for the lottery, the determination value, and the like. The sub-control ROM 41b stores the light emission effect data related to the light emission effect in the decorative lamp 13. The sub-control ROM 41b stores the sound effect data related to the sound effect in the speaker 14. The sub-control ROM 41b stores display effect data related to the display effect in the effect display device 15.

The sub-control RAM 41c is configured to be able to store various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10. The information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c includes, for example, a flag, a counter, a timer, and the like. The sub-board 41 is configured to be able to generate random numbers. For example, the random number may be generated as a hardware random number by mounting a random number generation circuit that updates the value of the random number at a predetermined cycle on the sub-board 41, and the sub-control CPU 41a may generate the random number at the predetermined control cycle. It may be generated as a software random number by updating the value.

A decorative lamp 13, a speaker 14, and an effect display device 15 are connected to the sub-board 41. The sub-control CPU 41a is configured to be able to control the decorative lamp 13, the speaker 14, and the effect display device 15 via a drive circuit (not shown).

Hereinafter, the processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a inputs a detection signal indicating that the operation has been performed from various buttons or the like, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control defined in the detection signal. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes the display control of the information panel 30 each time by inputting various detection signals and various controls. When paying out medals, the main control CPU 40a controls the hopper unit so as to eject (pay out) medals when the credit upper limit is exceeded. The main control CPU 40a controls the hopper unit so as to eject medals for credits at the time of credit settlement.

Further, when the detection signal output by the insertion sensor SE4 is input, the main control CPU 40a inputs the detection signal output by the insertion sensor SE4, that is, the control capable of specifying that the medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 17. Store the information in the output buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a inputs the detection signals output by the bet button 18, the settlement button 19, the start lever 20 and the stop buttons 21a to 21c, the main control CPU 40a inputs the control information that can identify that the detection signal is input to the output buffer. Store. For example, when the main control CPU 40a inputs the detection signal output by the settlement button 19, the main control CPU 40a outputs a control information that can specify that the detection signal from the settlement button 19 is input, that is, that the settlement button 19 is operated. Store in. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the next and subsequent interrupt processes.

The main control CPU 40a sets the number of bets when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 17 or a detection signal from the bet button 18 is input. When the bet number is set, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a bet number setting command) that can specify that the bet number has been set in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits according to the operation of the bet button 18. When the number of credits is increased by inserting medals, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits. Then, by setting the number of bets that can start the variable game, the variable game startable condition that enables the variable game to be started is satisfied.

Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a winning combination lottery when the detection signal from the start lever 20 is input in a state where the game can be started. The main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the random number for the combination lottery, and based on the value of the random number for the combination lottery, refers to the combination lottery table according to the game state and performs the combination lottery. In this way, the winning combination lottery is performed with the start operation as an opportunity. In the present embodiment, the combination lottery is performed by the main control CPU 40a, so that the function as the combination lottery means for performing the combination lottery is realized.

When the winning number is won in the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a stores the winning information that can specify the winning number in the main control RAM 40c. When the winning number is won in the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a winning command) that can specify the winning number in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a erases the winning information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the variable game ends.

The main control CPU 40a controls to start the rotation of each reel 16a to 16c when the detection signal from the start lever 20 is input, and starts the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a variable game start command) indicating the start of the variable game in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a controls to start the rotation of each reel 16a to 16c in a situation where the wait time has elapsed. Subsequently, when the detection signal from the stop button is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the detection signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps information on the rotation position and the stop position of each reel by the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each reel 16a to 16c. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to specify the rotation status of each reel during rotation, while causing the main control CPU 40a to specify the stop status of each reel that is stopped. Further, when the main control CPU 40a inputs a detection signal from the stop button to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel, control information that can specify that the stop operation has been performed (hereinafter referred to as a stop operation command). Is stored in the output buffer.

Next, the stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of each reel within a predetermined range (for example, for a maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button is operated based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery, and stops the symbol combination (game). To derive the result). When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel during rotation, the main control CPU 40a is stored in the main control ROM 40b for stop control according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the operation mode (operation order and operation timing) of the stop button. Based on the control data, the rotation of the reel is stopped and the symbol is stopped. In this way, the main control CPU 40a controls the reel stop according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the operation mode of the stop button. Even if the lottery results of the winning combination lottery are the same, the main control CPU 40a may perform stop control using different control data for stop control depending on the operation order and operation timing of the stop buttons. For example, when the winning of the bell combination is allowed, the main control CPU 40a causes the bell stop stitch to be derived on the effective line YL when the stop button is operated in the pressing order for winning the bell combination. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped. On the other hand, when the winning of the bell combination is allowed, the main control CPU 40a stops the bell spilling on the effective line YL when the stop button is operated in a pressing order different from the pressing order for winning the bell combination. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so as to derive the above. Incidentally, when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the reels 16a to 16c so as to derive the out-of-order stop eye on the effective line YL. No prize has been set for the out-of-order stop.

Subsequently, when the rotation of all the reels 16a to 16c is stopped, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the symbol combination when the symbol combination stopped on the effective line YL is a symbol combination that is allowed to be stopped on the effective line YL. On the other hand, in the winning determination, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the symbol combination (combination) that is allowed to be stopped on the effective line YL, the main control CPU 40a controls to give the prize defined to the symbol combination.

For example, the main control CPU 40a controls to award a predetermined number of medals when determining the winning of a payout combination. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls to give the re-game when determining the winning of the re-game combination. As a control for granting a re-game, the main control CPU 40a sets the same number of bets as the variable game for which the winning is determined. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the symbol combination (combination), the main control CPU 40a stores the control information (hereinafter, referred to as a winning instruction command) instructing the symbol combination determined to be winning in the output buffer.

In the variable game in the slot machine 10, when the winning of a winning combination is determined by the winning determination, the variable game ends after the control for giving the prize is performed. On the other hand, in the variable game in the slot machine 10, if the winning of the winning combination is not determined in the winning determination, the variable game ends after the winning determination is made. In the slot machine 10, all the stop buttons 21a to 21c are operated to stop all the reels 16a to 16c, so that a winning determination is made and then the variable game ends. That is, the slot machine 10 is configured so that the variable game ends when all the stop operation units are operated and all the reels are stopped.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a controls the transition of the gaming state.
The main control CPU 40a shifts the game state by updating the game state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. For example, when the game state information capable of specifying the first game state is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a can specify the second game state from the game state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. By updating to the game state information, the transition from the first game state to the second game state is made. When the promoted re-game combination wins in the first game state, the main control CPU 40a updates the second game state to identifiable game state information and controls the second game state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. Further, when a single winning combination is won in the second gaming state, the main control CPU 40a updates the first gaming state to identifiable gaming state information and controls the first gaming state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the second gaming state to the first gaming state. Further, when the game state information of the main control RAM 40c is updated, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a game state command) capable of specifying the updated game state in the output buffer.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a controls the transition of the effect state.
Although specific control will be described later, the main control CPU 40a shifts the effect state by updating the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. Further, when the effect state information is updated, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as an effect state command) that can specify the effect state after the update in the output buffer.

Further, the main control CPU 40a may notify the operation mode of the stop button. Then, when notifying the operation mode of the stop button, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit 37 to display the operation information. The main control CPU 40a displays information that can specify the pressing order even in the operation mode of the stop button. When notifying the operation mode of the stop button, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as an operation mode command) that can specify the operation mode of the stop button to be notified in the output buffer.

Next, the processing related to the variable game executed by the sub-control CPU 41a based on the sub-control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various control information of the variable game start command and the winning instruction command, the decorative lamp 13, the speaker 14, and the effect are executed so that various effects are executed based on the contents instructed in the control information. Control at least one of the display devices 15.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a game state command, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the sub-game state information indicating the game state being controlled by the main control CPU 40a in the sub-control RAM 41c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an effect state command, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the sub-effect state information indicating the effect state being controlled by the main control CPU 40a in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the sub-effect state to be identifiable from the sub-effect state information.

Further, when the operation mode command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a executes a navigation effect for notifying the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the navigation effect based on the winning command and the operation mode command. The control related to the navigation effect will be described later.

Here, the navigation effect executed by the effect display device 15 will be described. The operation mode of the stop button notified in the navigation effect corresponds to the mode of the stop operation. Therefore, the navigation effect corresponds to the stop operation notification effect for notifying the mode of the stop operation.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the navigation effect includes a navigation effect that displays a navigation image NG in the display areas Ha to Hc above the stop buttons 21a to 21c in the effect display device 15. The navigation image NG contains a number that can specify the number to be operated. In the display area Ha, which is the display area above the stop button 21a in the effect display device 15, a navigation image NG including a number that can specify the order in which the stop button 21a is operated is displayed. Further, in the display area Hb which is the display area above the stop button 21b in the effect display device 15, a navigation image NG including a number that can specify the number to operate the stop button 21b is displayed. Similarly, in the display area Hc, which is the display area above the stop button 21c in the effect display device 15, a navigation image NG including a number that can specify the order in which the stop button 21c is operated is displayed. For example, in the navigation effect shown in FIG. 9A, the stop button 21c is operated first (first), the stop button 21b is operated second, and the stop button 21a is operated last (third). It corresponds to a navigation effect that notifies the operation mode of the stop button.

The navigation image NG includes a navigation image NG based on blue, a navigation image NG based on yellow, and a navigation image NG based on white. The navigation effects in which the navigation image NG is displayed include the "blue navigation effect" in which the blue-based navigation image NG is displayed and the "yellow navigation effect" in which the yellow-based navigation image NG is displayed. And, there is a "white navigation effect" in which a navigation image NG based on white is displayed. In the slot machine 10, when the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal replay combination is notified, the blue navigation effect or the white navigation effect is executed. In the slot machine 10, when the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell combination is notified, the yellow navigation effect or the white navigation effect is executed. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the operation order of the stop buttons for winning the bell replay combination is notified, the white navigation effect is executed.

Therefore, in the slot machine 10, when the blue navigation effect is executed, it can be grasped that the normal re-game combination wins by operating the stop buttons in the pressing order notified in the blue navigation effect. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the yellow navigation effect is executed, it is possible to grasp that the bell combination wins by operating the stop buttons in the pressing order notified in the yellow navigation effect. However, in the slot machine 10, when the white navigation effect is executed, if the stop buttons are operated in the pressing order notified in the white navigation effect, any of the normal replay combination, the bell combination, and the bell replay combination is performed. I can't figure out if the role will win.

In the navigation effect shown in FIG. 9B, the operation mode image SG and the symbol image ZG are displayed on the effect display device 15. Specifically, in the navigation effect shown in FIG. 9B, an operation mode image SG having contents that can identify that the symbol used as an index of the operation timing of the stop button is a seven symbol, and a symbol image imitating the seven symbol. ZG and are displayed on the effect display device 15. In the following description, the navigation effect shown in FIG. 9B is referred to as “seven navigation effect”. In the slot machine 10, when the operation order of the stop buttons for winning the promotion replay combination is notified, the seven navigation effect is executed. By the way, in the advantageous production state other than the preparation production state, when the push order for winning the promotion re-game combination is notified in the first game state, the seven navigation effect is not executed and the white navigation effect is produced. Is executed. Therefore, when the white navigation effect is executed, there is a possibility that a promoted re-gaming role will be won in addition to the normal re-gaming role, the bell role, and the bell re-gaming role.

Here, the effect state and the transition mode of the effect state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10, the effect state in the slot machine 10 includes a normal effect state and an advantageous effect state. The advantageous effect state includes a preparation effect state, a confrontation effect state, a revival effect state, a reverse effect effect state, a complete victory effect state, an ending effect state, and a victory effect state.

In the normal production state, an internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as an advantageous permissible lottery) is performed to determine whether or not the transition to the advantageous production state is permitted based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery. The advantageous permissible lottery corresponds to an internal lottery, which is also called an ART lottery or an AT lottery. In the slot machine 10, when the advantageous allowable lottery is won, it is determined that the transition to the advantageous effect state is permitted. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the advantageous allowable lottery is not won, it is not determined to allow the transition to the advantageous effect state.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the advantageous allowable lottery is performed, the number of precursors is determined. Then, in the slot machine 10, after the variable game for the number of precursors is played, if it is determined to allow the transition to the advantageous effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the preparatory effect state. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, after the variable game for the number of precursors is played, if it is not determined to allow the transition to the advantageous effect state, the normal effect state continues. In this way, when the slot machine 10 is determined to allow the transition to the advantageous effect state (when the advantageous allowance lottery is won), the variable game for the number of precursors is played, and then the preparatory effect state is entered. Transition. In addition, if the promoted re-game combination wins after it is decided to allow the transition to the advantageous production state and before the variable game for the precursor number is played, the promotion re-game combination will be awarded. Taking the opportunity, it shifts to the confrontation production state without going through the preparation production state. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the preparatory production state is set, the slot machine 10 shifts to the confrontation production state when the promotion re-gaming role is won.

In the slot machine 10, in the case of the confrontation effect state, an internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as an end lottery) for determining whether to end the advantageous effect state is performed. In the slot machine 10, when the end lottery is won, the end of the advantageous effect state is determined. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the end lottery is not won, the end of the advantageous effect state is not determined.

In the slot machine 10, when the specific value stored in the main control RAM 40c reaches a predetermined value, the end lottery is performed. In the present embodiment, the main control RAM 40c functions as a specific value storage means for storing a specific value. The specific value in the present embodiment may be a value in the range of "1" to "7". That is, in the present embodiment, the lower limit of the value that the specific value can take is "1", and the upper limit of the value that the specific value can take is "7". In this way, the lower limit value and the upper limit value are set as the values that can be taken by the specific value. The predetermined value in this embodiment is set to "1". That is, the predetermined value is the lower limit of the value that the specific value can take. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the specific value reaches a predetermined value while being controlled to the specific state, the end lottery for determining whether to end the specific state is performed.

In the slot machine 10, if the end lottery is not won, the confrontation effect state is continued. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the end lottery is won, if the number of stocks stored internally is 0, an internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as a revival lottery) for deciding whether to shift to the revival effect state is performed. Will be done. In the slot machine 10, when the revival lottery is won, the transition to the revival effect state is determined. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the revival lottery is not won, the transition to the revival effect state is not determined. In the present embodiment, the revival lottery is performed when the end lottery is won, that is, when it is determined in the end lottery to end the specific state.

In the slot machine 10, if the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is won, the slot machine 10 shifts to the revival effect state. Further, in the slot machine 10, if the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is not won, the slot machine 10 shifts to the normal effect state and the advantageous effect state ends. That is, in the present embodiment, when the end lottery is won (when it is determined in the end lottery to end the confrontation effect), the confrontation effect state ends and the process shifts to the normal effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the end condition of the specific state includes an end condition that is satisfied when it is determined in the end lottery to end the specific state. Then, in the present embodiment, the end condition that is satisfied when it is determined in the end lottery to end the specific state corresponds to the first end condition. As described above, the first end condition is satisfied when it is determined in the end lottery to end the specific state.

Incidentally, in the slot machine 10, when the end lottery is won, if the number of stocks stored internally is 1 or more, the slot machine 10 shifts to the revival effect state. At this time, in the slot machine 10, the number of stocks is subtracted by 1, and the number of stocks is reduced. At this time, the slot machine 10 does not perform the revival lottery. As described above, in the slot machine 10, if the number of stocks is 1 or more, even if the end lottery is won, the advantageous effect state does not end with the winning, and the slot machine 10 shifts to the revival effect state. In the following description, the case where the stock count is subtracted by 1 when the end lottery is won and the state shifts to the revival effect state may be referred to as "the case where the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the revival effect state".

Further, in the slot machine 10, in the case of the confrontation effect state, an internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as a reverse lottery) for determining whether to shift to the reverse effect effect state is performed. In the slot machine 10, when the reverse lottery is won, the transition to the reverse effect effect state is determined. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the reverse lottery is not won, the transition to the reverse rotation effect state is not determined. Then, in the confrontation effect state, when the slot machine 10 wins the reverse lottery, the slot machine 10 shifts to the reverse effect effect state. Further, in the confrontation effect state, if the slot machine 10 does not win the reverse lottery, the confrontation effect state is continued.

Further, in the case of the confrontation effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state when the transition to the victory effect state is determined. In the slot machine 10, in the confrontation effect state, the transition to the victory effect state is determined when the special value stored in the main control RAM 40c reaches a predetermined privilege value. In the present embodiment, the main control RAM 40c functions as a special value storage means for storing the special value. The lower limit of the value that the special value can take in this embodiment is "0". The privilege value in this embodiment is set to "0". That is, the privilege value is the lower limit of the value that the special value can take. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value while being controlled to a specific state, the privilege is given. Further, in the present embodiment, when the special value reaches the privilege value, the confrontation effect state ends and the state shifts to the victory effect state. Therefore, the end condition of the specific state includes an end condition that is satisfied when the special value reaches the privilege value. Then, in the present embodiment, the end condition that is satisfied when the special value reaches the privilege value corresponds to the second end condition. As described above, the second termination condition is satisfied when the special value reaches a predetermined specific value. Further, the second end condition is different from the first end condition.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the number of variable games played in the confrontation effect state reaches a predetermined number of times (hereinafter referred to as the maximum number of confrontation stays), the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state. The maximum number of confrontation stays is set to "100 times". As described above, even if the specific value does not reach the predetermined privilege value, the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state when the variable game of the upper limit number of confrontation stays is played in the confrontation effect state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the privilege given when the number of variable games played in the confrontation production state reaches the maximum number of confrontation stays has a special value as a privilege value when controlled in the confrontation production state. It is the same as the privilege given when it is reached.

Further, in the slot machine 10, in the case of the confrontation effect state, when the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied, the slot machine 10 shifts to the ending effect state. In the slot machine 10, the transition condition to the ending effect state is before the number of variable games executed after being controlled to the specific state (hereinafter referred to as the advantageous continuous number) reaches the advantageous upper limit number (upper limit number). It is established at the timing of. Then, in the slot machine 10, the timing at which the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied differs depending on the number of stocks. In addition, in this specification, "the number of variable games executed after being controlled to a specific state (advantageous continuous number of times)" is defined in the advantageous effect state without shifting to the normal effect state after being controlled to the specific state. It means the number of times of the variable game executed, and can be said to be the number of times of the variable game executed in the advantageous production state.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the revival effect state is reached, a reverse lottery is performed. Then, in the revival effect state, when the slot machine 10 wins the reverse lottery, the slot machine 10 shifts to the reverse effect effect state. Further, in the revival effect state, if the slot machine 10 does not win the reverse lottery, the slot machine 10 shifts to the confrontation effect state.

Incidentally, in the slot machine 10, when the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the revival effect state, even if the reverse lottery is not won, the slot machine 10 shifts to the reverse effect effect state. In the following explanation, when the end lottery is won, the number of stocks is subtracted by 1 to shift to the revival effect state and then to the reverse effect state. May be indicated. In addition, in this embodiment, the reverse lottery is performed even when the stock is consumed and the state is shifted to the revival effect state. It may be configured in.

Further, in the slot machine 10, in the case of the reverse direction effect state, an internal lottery (hereinafter, referred to as a reverse direction victory lottery) for determining whether to shift to the victory effect state is performed. In the slot machine 10, when the reverse victory lottery is won, the transition to the victory effect state is determined. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the reverse victory lottery is not won, the transition to the winning effect state is not determined. In the reversal effect state, when the slot machine 10 wins the reversal victory lottery, the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state. Further, in the reversal effect state, if the slot machine 10 does not win the reversal victory lottery, the slot machine 10 shifts to the confrontation effect state. In the slot machine 10, when the reverse victory lottery is won, even if the special value does not reach the privilege value, the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state when the reverse victory lottery is won. As described above, when the slot machine 10 wins the reverse victory lottery, the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state when the reverse victory lottery is won regardless of the special value.

As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the slot machine 10 is controlled to the reverse rotation effect state, a privilege is given when the reverse victory lottery is won regardless of the special value. As described above, in the present embodiment, if the reverse victory lottery is won while the reverse direction effect state is controlled, the privilege is given. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the special value reaches the privilege value while being controlled in the confrontation effect state, the same as when the reverse victory lottery is won while the slot machine 10 is controlled in the reverse effect effect state. It is controlled to the victory production state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the privilege given when the special value reaches the privilege value while being controlled in the confrontation effect state is the case where the reverse victory lottery is won when the special value is controlled in the reverse effect effect state. It is the same as the privilege given to.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the reverse victory lottery is won while the confrontation effect state is controlled, the reverse direction effect state ends and the game shifts to the victory effect state. Therefore, the end condition of the specific state includes an end condition that is satisfied when the reverse victory lottery is won. Then, in the present embodiment, the end condition established when the reverse victory lottery is won corresponds to the second end condition. As described above, the second end condition is satisfied when the reverse victory lottery is won.

Incidentally, in the slot machine 10, when the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the reverse effect effect state, even if the reverse victory lottery is not won, the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state. In addition, in this embodiment, the reverse victory lottery is performed even when the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the reverse direction effect state. It may be configured to migrate.

As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is subtracted by 1 when the end lottery is won (when the stock is consumed), the slot machine 10 shifts to the victory effect state through the revival effect state and the reverse effect effect state. That is, in the slot machine 10, if the number of stocks is one or more, even if the end lottery is won, as a result, the specific state ends and the state shifts to the victory effect state. That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of stocks is consumed while being controlled to the specific state, the specific state ends and the state shifts to the winning effect state. Therefore, the end condition of the specific state includes an end condition that is satisfied when the number of stocks is consumed. Then, in the present embodiment, the end condition that is satisfied when the number of stocks is consumed corresponds to the second end condition. As described above, the second termination condition is satisfied when the number of stocks is consumed. As described above, the number of stocks corresponds to the number of times the second termination condition is satisfied. The slot machine 10 in the present embodiment is configured to be able to hold the number of stocks related to the fulfillment of the second termination condition.

In the slot machine 10, the specific state ends in either the case where the first end condition is satisfied in the specific state or the case where the second end condition is satisfied in the specific state. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the first end condition is satisfied in the specific state, the specific state ends and shifts to the normal effect state, while when the second end condition is satisfied in the specific state, the specific state ends. Ends and shifts to a victory production state that is more advantageous than the normal production state.

In the case of the winning effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the specific state when the end condition of the winning effect state is satisfied. The end condition of the victory production state is established by playing a game in which the number of stays in the victory is variable. Incidentally, the "number of victorious stays" in the present embodiment is not a predetermined single number of times (fixed number of times). In the slot machine 10, when the end condition of the winning effect state is satisfied, the slot machine 10 may shift to the confrontation effect state or the complete victory effect state. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, if the number of times the slot machine 10 has been controlled to a specific state and then won the end lottery and has transitioned to the winning effect state without ending the advantageous effect state has not reached the predetermined number of times, the confrontation effect state is entered. And migrate. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the number of times of shifting to the winning effect state without ending the advantageous effect state by winning the end lottery after being controlled to the specific state reaches a predetermined number of times, the slot machine 10 shifts to the complete victory effect state. do. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the number of times the second end condition is satisfied reaches a predetermined number of times without the first end condition being satisfied after being controlled to the specific state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the complete victory effect state. In this embodiment, the predetermined number of times is set to "15 times". As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the second end condition is satisfied and the control is performed in the winning effect state, when the end condition of the victory effect state is satisfied, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the specific state again. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second end condition is satisfied and the specific state ends, the specific state is controlled again after the end of the specific state.

In the case of the complete victory effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the normal effect state when the end condition of the complete win effect state is satisfied. The end condition of the complete victory effect state is satisfied when the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. Therefore, in the complete winning effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the normal effect state when the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the slot machine 10 shifts to the complete victory effect state, the slot machine 10 is in the complete victory effect state and continues to be controlled to the specific state until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. In the present embodiment, when the variable game executed after being controlled to the specific state reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times, the specific state ends and the game shifts to the normal effect state. Therefore, the end condition of the specific state includes an end condition that is satisfied when the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the upper limit of advantageous times. Then, in the present embodiment, as the end condition of the specific state, the end condition that is satisfied when the number of variable games executed after being controlled to the specific state reaches the upper limit number corresponds to the third end condition. .. As described above, the third end condition is satisfied when the number of variable games executed after being controlled to the specific state reaches the upper limit. The third end condition is an end condition related to the number of variable games.

As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the number of times that the slot machine 10 is controlled to a specific state and then wins the end lottery and shifts to the victory effect state without ending the advantageous effect state has reached a predetermined number of times, the complete victory effect state is reached. The game is controlled to the complete victory effect state until the number of consecutive advantageous times reaches the upper limit of advantageous times. That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of times the second end condition is satisfied reaches a predetermined number of times without the first end condition being satisfied after being controlled to a specific state, until the third end condition is satisfied. Continues to be controlled to a specific state. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the winning effect is achieved, the end lottery is not performed even if the specific value reaches a predetermined value. That is, in the slot machine 10, if the number of times the slot machine 10 has been controlled to a specific state and then won the end lottery and has entered the winning effect state without ending the advantageous effect state has reached a predetermined number of times, the slot machine 10 shifts to the complete victory effect state. However, until the number of consecutive advantageous times reaches the upper limit of advantageous times, the end lottery is not performed even if the specific value reaches a predetermined value. That is, in the present embodiment, after the number of times that the second end condition is satisfied without satisfying the first end condition after being controlled to the specific state reaches a predetermined number of times, at least until the third end condition is satisfied. Even if the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the establishment of the first termination condition continues to be regulated.

Then, in the slot machine 10, the first end condition to the third until the number of times that the slot machine 10 is controlled to the specific state and then the end lottery is won and the advantageous effect state is changed to the victory effect state reaches a predetermined number of times. Of the end conditions, the first end condition and the second end condition are the end conditions of the specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, the first end condition, the second end condition, and the first end condition are reached until the number of times that the second end condition is satisfied without satisfying the first end condition after being controlled to the specific state reaches a predetermined number of times. Of the three end conditions, the first end condition and the second end condition are the end conditions of the specific state. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, after the number of times the slot machine 10 has been controlled to a specific state and then won the end lottery to shift to the winning effect state without ending the advantageous effect state reaches a predetermined number of times, the first end condition is changed to the first. Of the three end conditions, the third end condition is the end condition of the specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, after the number of times that the second end condition is satisfied without the first end condition being satisfied after being controlled to the specific state reaches a predetermined number of times, the first end condition, the second end condition and the second end condition are satisfied. Of the third end conditions, the third end condition is the end condition of the specific state. In this way, in the slot machine 10, when the number of times the slot machine 10 is controlled to a specific state and then wins the end lottery and shifts to the winning effect state without ending the advantageous effect state reaches a predetermined number of times, the end condition of the specific state is set. Change. That is, in the slot machine 10, the end condition of the specific state differs before and after the number of times the slot machine 10 is controlled to the specific state and then wins the end lottery and shifts to the victory effect state without ending the advantageous effect state reaches a predetermined number of times. ..

In the ending effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the normal effect state when the end condition of the ending effect state is satisfied. The end condition of the ending effect state is satisfied when the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. Therefore, in the ending effect state, when the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number, the slot machine 10 shifts to the normal effect state. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the ending effect state is entered, the ending effect state is reached and the specific state is continuously controlled until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number. In the present embodiment, when the variable game executed after being controlled to the specific state reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times, the specific state ends and the game shifts to the normal effect state. Therefore, the end condition of the specific state includes an end condition that is satisfied when the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the upper limit of advantageous times. Then, in the present embodiment, as the end condition of the specific state, the end condition that is satisfied when the number of variable games executed after being controlled to the specific state reaches the upper limit number corresponds to the third end condition. .. As described above, the third end condition is satisfied when the number of variable games executed after being controlled to the specific state reaches the upper limit. The third end condition is an end condition related to the number of variable games. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied, the slot machine 10 shifts to the ending effect state and continues to be controlled to the ending effect state until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. ..

Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the advantageous upper limit number of times in the complete victory effect state and the advantageous upper limit number of times in the ending effect state are the same. The advantageous upper limit number of times in this embodiment is set to "1500 times". Further, in the slot machine 10, the number of medals that purely increase within a certain period (so-called net increase number) is "2" in the advantageous production state. By the way, in general, the "net increase number" is the number of medals inserted (the number of medals bet to play a variable game), the probability that each winning combination is allowed to be won, and the payout combination is paid out when the winning combination is won. It is calculated from the number of medals and the probability that the re-gaming combination is allowed to win (or the probability that the re-gaming combination will win).

As described above, in the slot machine 10 in which the upper limit of the advantageous number of times is set to "1500 times" and the net increase number is "2", the number of medals to be increased in the advantageous production state is "3000" (=). It can be said that it is regulated to "1500 times x 2 sheets)". In the slot machine 10, even if the number of medals increased in the advantageous effect state exceeds "3000", the advantageous effect state does not end, and the advantageous effect state is reached until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number. Is controlled by. Further, in the slot machine 10, even if the number of medals increased in the advantageous effect state does not reach "3000", the advantageous effect state ends when the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number. As described above, it can be said that the number of medals that the slot machine 10 increases in one advantageous production state is limited to "3000".

Hereinafter, the confrontation effect state, the reverse effect effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state will be specifically described. In addition, in this embodiment, being controlled to the winning effect state corresponds to the privilege being given.

First, the confrontation production state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the character image Ca1 imitating the character of the main character is displayed on the effect display device 15 in the confrontation effect state. Further, in the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 15 displays the character image Ca2 imitating the enemy character. In the confrontation production state, the production is developed with the content that the main character and the enemy character confront each other.

In the confrontation effect state, the meter image Ga is displayed on the effect display device 15. In the present embodiment, the effect of displaying the meter image Ga corresponds to the specific effect. The meter image Ga corresponds to an image showing the battle situation of the confrontation between the main character and the enemy character. The content of the meter image Ga is based on a specific value stored in the main control RAM 40c.

The meter image Ga shown in FIG. 12A is a meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is “1”. The meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "1" contains the characters "crisis". The meter image Ga shown in FIG. 12B is a meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is “2”. The meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "2" contains the character "inferior". Incidentally, although not shown, the meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "3" has the character "inferior" as in the meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "2". include.

The meter image Ga shown in FIG. 12 (c) is a meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is “4”. The meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "4" includes the character "equilibrium". The meter image Ga shown in FIG. 12D is a meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is “5”. The meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "5" includes the character "dominant". Incidentally, although not shown, the specific value is "5" in the meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "6" and the meter image Ga displayed when the specific value is "7". Like the meter image Ga that is sometimes displayed, it contains the word "dominant". As described above, the content of the meter image Ga is not based on the content indicating the number of variable games until the advantageous effect state ends (that is, the number of variable games until the first end condition is satisfied), but based on a specific value. It becomes the content. Further, the content of the meter image Ga is not based on the special value. As described above, in the present embodiment, the content of the specific effect is not the content indicating the number of variable games until the first end condition is satisfied, but the content based on the specific value. Further, in the present embodiment, the content of the specific effect is not the content indicating the number of variable games until the end of the specific state, but the content based on the specific value.

In the slot machine 10, when the specific value changes, that is, when the content of the meter image Ga changes, the pre-specific change effect may be executed before the content of the meter image Ga changes. For example, when the content of the meter image Ga changes as the specific value decreases, the pre-specific change effect of the content in which the enemy character attacks the main character may be executed. On the other hand, when the content of the meter image Ga changes as the specific value increases, the pre-specific change effect of the content in which the main character attacks the enemy character may be executed. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, the content of the meter image Ga may change after the effect before the specific change is executed. As will be described in detail later, in the slot machine 10, the content of the meter image Ga may change without executing the effect before the specific change.

In the slot machine 10, when the normal replay combination is won in three consecutive variable games, the specific value may decrease. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the bell combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the specific value may increase. Further, in the slot machine 10, if the winning combination of cherry or watermelon is allowed, the specific value may increase.

By the way, "when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in all three consecutive variable games" means "when the bell role wins in all three consecutive variable games" and "three consecutive times". It is intended to include "when the bell replaying role wins in all of the variable games of." In addition, "when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in each of the three consecutive variable games" means "when one of the bell role and the bell replaying role wins in each of the three consecutive variable games". Is also intended to include. For example, "when the bell replay player wins in the first and second variable games and the bell role wins in the third variable game out of three consecutive variable games" is also "consecutive 3". It is intended to be included in "when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in the variable game of times".

As shown in FIG. 13A, in the slot machine 10, when the specific value reaches "1", the end lottery is performed. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the specific value has not reached "1" (when the specific value is any one of "2" to "7"), the end lottery is not performed. In the slot machine 10, when the specific value reaches "1" and the normal re-game combination wins, the end lottery is performed. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, even if the specific value reaches "1", the end lottery is not normally performed if the replaying combination does not win a prize.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 13B, in the slot machine 10, a revival lottery is performed with a winning probability according to a special value. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, the higher the special value (the special value is far from the privilege value), the lower the special value (the special value is close to the privilege value). Therefore, it is easier to win the revival lottery. For example, in the slot machine 10, the winning probability of the revival lottery when the special value is "7501 or more" is "65%", while the revival lottery when the specific value is in the range of "1001-1500". The winning probability is "25%". As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the special value is the first value, it is easier to win the revival lottery than when the special value is the second value lower than the first value.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, in the slot machine 10, when the specific value reaches "1", a reverse lottery is performed. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the specific value does not reach "1", that is, when the specific value is any one of "2" to "7", the reverse lottery is not performed. In the slot machine 10, when the specific value reaches "1" and the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed, the reverse lottery is performed. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, even if the specific value reaches "1" in the confrontation effect state, if the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is not allowed, the reverse lottery is not performed.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the slot machine 10, when the end lottery is not won in the confrontation effect state, the confrontation effect state continues and is controlled to the advantageous effect state. Further, in the slot machine 10, if the end lottery is won in the confrontation effect state, the defeat effect is executed. The defeat production has contents that can specify the end of the confrontation production state. Specifically, the defeat effect is executed with the content that the main character character is defeated in the confrontation with the enemy character.

In the slot machine 10, if the revival lottery is won, the revival effect state is entered after the defeat effect is executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the revival lottery is won, the revival effect is controlled after the defeat effect is executed. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is 1 or more, after the defeat effect is executed, the slot machine 10 shifts to the revival effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the end lottery is won, if the number of stocks is 1 or more, the defeat effect is executed and then the revival effect state is controlled. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the revival lottery is not won, the defeat effect is executed and then the normal effect state is entered.

As shown in FIG. 11, the enemy soldier number image Gb is displayed on the effect display device 15 in the confrontation effect state. In the present embodiment, the effect of displaying the enemy soldier number image Gb corresponds to a special effect. The enemy soldier number image Gb corresponds to an image showing the remaining number of enemy characters. The content of the enemy soldier number image Gb is based on the special value stored in the main control RAM 40c. That is, in the present embodiment, the content of the special effect is based on the special value. Incidentally, the enemy soldier number image Gb having the characters "remaining number of enemy soldiers: 1012" shown in FIG. 11 corresponds to the enemy soldier number image Gb having a content that can identify that the special value is "1012". .. In this way, the numerical value shown in the enemy soldier number image Gb is the same as the special value.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the special value can be changed, that is, when the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb can be changed, the pre-special change effect is performed before the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb is changed. Will be executed. For example, when the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb changes as the special value decreases, the pre-change effect of the content in which the main character attacks the enemy character is executed. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb changes after the special pre-change effect is executed. Incidentally, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, even if the special value does not change, that is, even if the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb does not change, the pre-special change effect may be executed. In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed, and when the bell role or the bell replaying role is won in two consecutive variable games, the bell role or the bell replaying game If the winning combination is allowed, a special pre-change effect may be performed.

In the slot machine 10, if the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the special value may decrease. Further, in the slot machine 10, if the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed, the special value may decrease. In this embodiment, the special value does not increase. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the special value reaches "0", the slot machine 10 shifts to the winning effect state.

The pre-change effect in the present embodiment includes a pre-change effect that is executed when the special value decreases and a pre-change effect that is executed when the special value does not decrease. In the case where the special pre-change effect executed when the special value decreases and the case where the special pre-change effect executed when the special value does not decrease is executed, the remaining one reel is stopped. While the production content of the pre-special change effect is the same, the production content of the pre-special change effect after the remaining one reel is stopped is different. When the special pre-change effect executed when the special value decreases and when the special pre-change effect executed when the special value does not decrease is executed, until the remaining one reel stops. The contents of the pre-special change production are the same. In the following explanation, the production contents of the special pre-change effect that are common to the pre-change effect that is executed when the special value decreases and the pre-change effect that is executed when the special value does not decrease are "common". It may be indicated as "production content".

In addition, in the pre-special change effect that is executed when the special value decreases, the unachieved pre-change special effect that is executed when the special value after the decrease does not reach "0" due to the decrease of the special value There are an effect and an achievement-type pre-change effect that is executed when the special value after the decrease reaches "0" due to the decrease of the special value. In the case where the unachieved type pre-change effect is executed and the case where the achieved type pre-change effect is executed, the effect content of the special change pre-effect until the remaining one reel is stopped is a common effect. The contents are the same, but the production contents of the pre-special change effect after the remaining one reel is stopped are different. That is, in the case where the unachieved type pre-change effect is executed and the case where the achieved type pre-change effect is executed, the effect content of the special change pre-effect until the remaining one reel is stopped is the same. ..

Furthermore, in the achievement-type pre-change effect, the special value after the reduction reaches "0" because the special value is reduced when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games. There is a first achievement type pre-change production that is performed in some cases. In addition, in the achievement type pre-change production, the second is executed when the special value after the decrease reaches "0" due to the decrease of the special value when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed. There is an achievement-type pre-change production. In the case where the first achievement type pre-change effect is executed and the case where the second achievement type pre-change effect is executed, the effect content of the special change pre-effect until the remaining one reel stops. Is the same as the common production content, but the production content of the pre-special change effect after the remaining one reel is stopped is different. That is, in the case where the first achievement type pre-change effect is executed and the second achievement type pre-change effect is executed, the effect content of the special change pre-effect until the remaining one reel is stopped is It is the same. In this way, when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the special value is updated and the special value is reached to "0". The content is at least partially different from the production content of the pre-special change effect that is executed when the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0" when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed. In addition, when the bell role or the bell reel player wins a prize in three consecutive variable games and when the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win, the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0". In this case, the effect content of the pre-special change effect until the remaining one reel is stopped is the same, but the effect content of the pre-special change effect after the remaining one reel is stopped is different.

Further, in the slot machine 10, after the specific value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted until the special value is updated. For example, in the slot machine 10, the specific value does not decrease after the specific value decreases until the special value decreases. That is, the slot machine 10 is limited to creating a situation in which the specific value is continuously decreased without decreasing the special value. As described above, in the slot machine 10, the update of the specific value is restricted after the specific value is updated until the special value is updated. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, after the special value is updated, the special value may be updated even if the specific value is not updated. For example, in the slot machine 10, after the special value is reduced, the special value may be reduced even if the specific value is not reduced.

In the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 15 displays the victory expected image GC. The victory expectation image GC is displayed in the victory expectation degree display area Gd in the effect display device 15. The victory expectation display area Gd is composed of five areas: a first area Gd1, a second area Gd2, a third area Gd3, a fourth area Gd4, and a fifth area Gd5.

When the number of times controlled to the confrontation effect state (hereinafter referred to as the number of consecutive villas) without being controlled by the normal effect state is the first to the fifth, and when the number of consecutive villas is the first in the first area Gd1. The victory expectation image GC that can specify the victory expectation degree in which the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state of is displayed. In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the first to the fifth, in the second area Gd2, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the second. The winning expected image GC that can identify is displayed. When the number of consecutive villas is the first to the fifth, the third area Gd3 specifies the degree of expectation that the main character will win the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the third. The possible victory expected image GC is displayed. Similarly, when the number of consecutive villas is the first to the fifth, the fourth area Gd4 is expected to win the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the fourth. The victory expectation image GC that can specify the degree is displayed. In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the first to the fifth, in the fifth area Gd5, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the fifth. The winning expected image GC that can identify is displayed.

In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the 6th to the 10th, in the first area Gd1, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 6th. The expected victory image GC that can identify is displayed. In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the 6th to the 10th, in the second area Gd2, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 7th. The winning expected image GC that can identify is displayed. When the number of consecutive villas is the 6th to the 10th, the third area Gd3 specifies the degree of expectation that the main character will win the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 8th. The possible victory expected image GC is displayed. Similarly, when the number of consecutive villas is the 6th to the 10th, the 4th area Gd4 is expected to win the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 9th. The victory expectation image GC that can specify the degree is displayed. In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the 6th to the 10th, in the 5th area Gd5, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 10th. The expected victory image GC that can identify is displayed.

In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the 11th to the 15th, in the first area Gd1, the degree of expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 11th. The expected victory image GC that can identify is displayed. In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the 11th to the 15th, in the second area Gd2, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 12th. The winning expected image GC that can identify is displayed. When the number of consecutive villas is the 11th to the 15th, the third area Gd3 specifies the degree of expectation that the main character will win the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 13th. The possible victory expected image GC is displayed. Similarly, when the number of consecutive villas is the 11th to the 15th, the fourth area Gd4 is expected to win the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 14th. The victory expectation image GC that can specify the degree is displayed. In addition, when the number of consecutive villas is the 11th to the 15th, in the fifth area Gd5, the victory expectation that the main character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state when the number of consecutive villas is the 15th. The expected victory image GC that can identify is displayed.

Here, in the slot machine 10, the degree of expectation of victory in which the main character character wins the confrontation with the enemy character in the confrontation production state will be described.
In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying role is allowed, if the bell replaying role can be won, the specific value may increase without decreasing, while the bell replaying role may be won. If a normal re-game combination is won without being able to do so, the specific value may decrease without increasing. In particular, in the slot machine 10, since the specific value may decrease when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, even one of the three consecutive variable games may be a bell replay. If the winning combination can be won, it is possible to avoid a decrease in a specific value. That is, in the slot machine 10, if the bell replaying combination can be won when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the decrease of the specific value is suppressed, the end lottery is won, and the advantageous production state ends. That is, it is possible to prevent the main character from losing the confrontation with the enemy character. Further, in the slot machine 10, if it is possible to prevent the advantageous production state from ending by winning the end lottery, the period for reducing the special value increases, so that the special value reaches the privilege value to produce a victory. It can be said that it becomes easier to shift to the state (it becomes easier for the main character to win the confrontation with the enemy character). In addition, in the slot machine 10, even if the number of variable games executed in one confrontation production reaches the maximum number of confrontation stays, the game shifts to the victory production state. If it is possible to prevent the game from ending, the number of variable games executed in the confrontation effect state tends to increase. As a result, if the slot machine 10 can prevent the advantageous production state from ending by winning the end lottery, it is easy to shift to the end production state by executing the variable game of the maximum number of confrontation stays. (It becomes easier for the main character to win the confrontation with the enemy character).

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying role is allowed, the special value may decrease if the bell replaying role can be won, but the bell replaying role cannot be won. The special value does not decrease when you win a normal replay role. That is, in the slot machine 10, if the bell replaying role can be won when the winning of the bell replaying role is allowed, the reduction of the special value is promoted, and the special value reaches the privilege value to enter the winning production state. It can be said that it becomes easier to make a transition (it becomes easier for the main character to win the confrontation with the enemy character).

In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed and the pressing order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified, the bell replaying combination is played by operating the stop button according to the pressing order. You can win a prize. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the pressing order for winning the normal replaying combination is notified, and when the stop button is operated according to the pressing order, the normal replaying combination is won. I will let you.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified (in FIG. 15, the bell replaying) is notified. If the navigation rate of the game combination) is low, the specific value tends to decrease. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if there is a high probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the specific value is unlikely to decrease. Incidentally, in the slot machine 10, if the probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed is low, the specific value is unlikely to increase. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if there is a high probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the specific value is likely to increase. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the change mode of the specific value differs depending on the probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified.

Further, in the slot machine 10, if the probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed is low, the special value is unlikely to decrease. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if there is a high probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the special value is likely to decrease. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the change mode of the special value differs depending on the probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified.

As a result, in the slot machine 10, if the probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying role is notified when the winning of the bell replaying role is allowed is low, the character of the main character is in the confrontation effect state. Has a low probability of winning the confrontation with the enemy character. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if there is a high probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying role will be notified when the winning of the bell replaying role is allowed, the character of the main character will be in the confrontation production state. High expectation of victory to win the confrontation with the enemy character.

Then, the slot machine 10 has a probability that the push order for winning the bell replaying combination is notified when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed in each of the confrontation production states of a plurality of times (hereinafter, the bell replaying combination). (Indicated as the navigation rate of) has a defined mode pattern. As described above, the mode pattern defines the mode relating to the establishment of the specific update condition in each of the confrontation effect state (each specific state) a plurality of times. In the aspect pattern, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in each confrontation production state for 15 times, which is the upper limit of the number of consecutive villas, is defined. In the slot machine 10, the mode pattern is determined as the confrontation effect state in which the number of consecutive villas is the first is started. Then, in each confrontation effect state in the slot machine 10, the push order for winning the bell re-game combination is notified by the navigation rate of the bell re-game combination defined in the mode pattern. The aspect pattern is stored in the main control ROM 40b. In the present embodiment, the main control ROM 40b realizes a function as a pattern storage means in which a plurality of mode patterns are stored.

FIG. 16 shows some of the plurality of modal patterns. For example, in the mode pattern TP1, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the confrontation production state where the number of consecutive villas is the first is "40%", and the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the confrontation production state where the number of consecutive villas is the second is. It is set at "25%". When the aspect pattern TP1 is determined, if the bell replaying role is allowed to win in the confrontation production state where the number of consecutive villas is the first, there is a 40% probability that the bell replaying role will be won. Is notified, while the push order for winning the normal replay combination is notified with a probability of 60%. In addition, in the mode pattern TP8, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the confrontation production state where the number of consecutive villas is the first is set to "100%". Then, when the aspect pattern TP8 is determined, if the bell replaying role is allowed to win in the confrontation production state where the number of consecutive villas is the first, the push order for winning the bell replaying role is always notified. Will be done.

Then, in the slot machine 10, when the confrontation effect state is set, the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination, that is, the confrontation effect state, is set in the first area Gd1 to the fifth area Gd5 of the victory expectation display area Gd. Victory expectation image GC of the type according to the victory expectation degree in which the hero character wins the confrontation with the enemy character is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 17, the victory expectation image GC includes a first victory expectation image GCt imitating a triangle, a second victory expectation image GCs imitating a star, and a third victory expectation image GCh imitating a heart. There is. In the slot machine 10, the first victory expected image GCt is displayed in the victory expectation degree display area Gd corresponding to the confrontation effect state in which the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination is set to "0% to 20%". In the slot machine 10, the victory expectation display area Gd corresponding to the confrontation production state in which the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is set to "21% to 40%" is the first victory expectation image GCt and the second victory expectation. One of the image GCs, which is the expected victory image GC, is displayed. In the slot machine 10, the victory expectation display area Gd corresponding to the confrontation production state in which the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is set to "41% to 50%" is the first victory expectation image GCt and the second victory expectation. The winning expected image GC of any of the image GCs and the third winning expected image GCh is displayed. In the slot machine 10, the victory expectation display area Gd corresponding to the confrontation production state in which the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is set to "51% to 80%" is the second victory expectation image GCs and the third victory expectation. One of the images GCh, which is the expected victory image GC, is displayed. In the slot machine 10, the third victory expectation image GCh is displayed in the victory expectation degree display area Gd corresponding to the confrontation effect state in which the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination is set to "81% to 100%".

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 15 displays an image GY indicating the victory expected image GC corresponding to the current confrontation effect state. For example, when the number of consecutive villas is the 8th confrontation effect state, the effect display device 15 displays the winning expected image GC according to the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the 8th confrontation effect state. The image GY is displayed at the position pointing to Gd3. In FIG. 11, since the third victory expected image GCh is displayed in the third region Gd3, it is specified that at least the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the current confrontation production state is “41 to 100%”. can do.

In the slot machine 10, in the confrontation effect state, a companion appearance effect in which a companion character who is a companion of the main character appears is executed. In the slot machine 10, the characters that can appear in the companion appearance effect include a first companion character, a second companion character, and a third companion character. Then, when the companion appearance effect is executed, some of the characters of the plurality of types of the first companion character to the third companion character appear. Specifically, in the companion appearance effect in the present embodiment, one companion character out of the first companion character to the third companion character appears.

As shown in FIG. 11, when the first companion character appears in the companion appearance effect in the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 15 displays the first companion image NC1. Further, in the confrontation effect state, when the second companion character appears in the companion appearance effect, the effect display device 15 displays the second companion image NC2. Similarly, in the confrontation effect state, when the third companion character appears in the companion appearance effect, the effect display device 15 displays the third companion image NC3.

In the slot machine 10, the appearing fellow characters are initialized when the confrontation effect state is changed to the normal effect state or the confrontation effect state is changed to the victory effect state. That is, the fellow characters that appeared in the confrontation effect state are initialized when the confrontation effect state is changed to the normal effect state or the confrontation effect state is changed to the victory effect state. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, when the companion appearance effect is executed in the confrontation effect state, until the confrontation effect state is changed to the normal effect state, or until the confrontation effect state is changed to the victory effect state. During the period, an image showing a fellow character that appeared in the fellow appearance effect is displayed on the effect display device 15.

In the slot machine 10, one of the first fellow characters to the third fellow characters appears in one fellow appearance effect, but when two fellow appearance effects are executed, a total of 2 Two fellow characters will appear. In addition, in the companion appearance production in the slot machine 10, the companion characters that have already appeared do not appear. Therefore, the companion appearance effect is executed three times before the appearing companion character is initialized, and after all the companion characters of the first companion character to the third companion character appear, the companion appearance effect is not executed. ..

Then, in the slot machine 10, when all the fellow characters of the first fellow character to the third fellow character appear, it is possible to recognize that the transition to the victory effect state is entered. That is, in the slot machine 10, when all kinds of fellow characters appear, it is possible to recognize that the state shifts to the winning effect state, that is, the privilege is given.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the confrontation effect is in effect and the companion appearance effect is executed and the companion character appears, the companion effect by the appearing companion character may be executed. The companion production in the present embodiment includes a companion production by the first companion character (hereinafter referred to as the first companion production), a companion production by the second companion character (hereinafter referred to as the second companion production), and a third companion production. There is a companion production by a character (hereinafter referred to as a third companion production). The first companion production is a companion production executed in a state where the first companion character has already appeared. Further, the second companion production is a companion production executed in a state where the second companion character has already appeared. Further, the third companion production is a companion production executed in a state where the third companion character has already appeared.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the slot machine 10, when the first companion effect is executed, the specific value does not increase or decrease. That is, in the slot machine 10, when the first companion effect is executed, the specific value does not increase, but the specific value does not decrease. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the first companion effect is executed, the specific value does not change. Then, in the slot machine 10, even if the normal replaying combination wins when the first companion effect is executed, the specific value does not decrease.

In the slot machine 10, when the second companion effect is executed, the amount of decrease in the special value becomes larger than when the second companion effect is not executed. That is, in the slot machine 10, when the special value is reduced when the second companion effect is executed (for example, when the bell role or the bell replay combination is won and the special value is decreased), the second companion effect is reduced. The value subtracted from the special value is greater than if the special value were decremented when was not executed.

In the slot machine 10, when the third companion effect is executed, the ratio of notifying the operation order for winning the bell replay combination is higher than when the third companion effect is not executed. That is, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted when the third companion effect is executed, and when the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted when the third companion effect is not executed. In comparison, the operation order for winning the bell replay combination becomes easier to be notified.

Further, in the slot machine 10, the subsequent advantages differ depending on the number and types of fellow characters that have appeared. Specifically, the number of variable games to be played in the winning effect state after that depends on the number and types of fellow characters that appeared in the effect state (mainly the confrontation effect state) before the victory effect state.

As shown in FIG. 19, in the slot machine 10, when none of the first fellow characters to the third fellow characters has appeared, the number of variable games performed in the victory effect state is "20 times". Become. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when any of the fellow characters from the first fellow character to the third fellow character appears, the number of variable games performed in the victory effect state is "more than 20 times (specifically). In the end, 30 times or more) ”.

Further, in the slot machine 10, even if any of the first fellow characters to the third fellow characters appears, the larger the number of the appearing fellow characters, the more the winning effect is achieved. The number of variable games increases. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, for example, when one of the first fellow characters to the third fellow characters appears, the number of variable games performed in the victory effect state is "30 times", " It will be any of "40 times" and "50 times". On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, for example, when all of the first fellow characters to the third fellow characters have appeared, the number of variable games played in the victory effect state is "100 times".

Further, in the slot machine 10, even if the number of fellow characters appearing among the first fellow characters to the third fellow characters is the same, if the third fellow character appears, the third fellow character The number of variable games played in the winning production state is larger than when is not appearing. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, for example, when the first companion character and the second companion character appear, the number of variable games played in the victory effect state is "60 times". On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, for example, when the first companion character and the third companion character appear, the number of variable games played in the victory effect state is "70 times".

Further, in the slot machine 10, even when the third companion character appears, when the second companion character appears, the case where the second companion character does not appear is compared with the case where the second companion character does not appear. The number of variable games played in the victory production state increases. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, for example, when the first companion character and the third companion character appear, the number of variable games played in the victory effect state is "70 times". On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, for example, when the second fellow character and the third fellow character appear, the number of variable games played in the victory effect state is "80 times".

Further, in the slot machine 10, in the confrontation effect state, the number of stocks may increase according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery. For example, in the slot machine 10, if a cherry or watermelon role is allowed to win in the confrontation effect state, a stock lottery is performed. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the stock lottery is won, 1 is added to the number of stocks, and the number of stocks increases.

In the slot machine 10, in the case of the confrontation effect state, when the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied, the slot machine 10 shifts to the ending effect state. The conditions for transitioning to the ending effect state differ depending on the number of stocks.

As shown in FIG. 20, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is 0 and the number of remaining times up to the advantageous upper limit is 50 or less, the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is one and the remaining number of times up to the advantageous upper limit number is 80 times or less, the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied. In the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is 2 and the number of remaining times up to the advantageous upper limit is 100 or less, the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied. In the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is 3 or more and the number of remaining times up to the advantageous upper limit is 150 or less, the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied.

As described above, in the slot machine 10, the conditions for shifting to the ending effect state differ depending on the number of stocks. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, as the number of stocks increases, the timing at which the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied becomes earlier, and as a result, the period controlled by the ending effect state becomes longer (the number of variable games). Will increase).

Next, the reverse direction effect state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21, in the slot machine 10, the reverse rotation effect state is an effect state in which the slot machine 10 stays until the variable game is played 10 times. In the slot machine 10, the specific value does not change in the reverse direction effect state. In the slot machine 10, the special value does not change in the reverse direction effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the specific value does not change when the reverse rotation effect state is controlled. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the specific value is "1", the slot machine 10 is controlled to the reverse effect effect state. However, in the slot machine 10, in the case of the reverse effect effect state, the end lottery is not performed even when the specific value reaches "1". Further, in the slot machine 10, in the reverse direction effect state, the number of stocks may increase according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery. For example, in the slot machine 10, if a winning combination of a cherry or a watermelon is allowed in the reverse effect state, a stock lottery is performed. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the stock lottery is won, 1 is added to the number of stocks, and the number of stocks increases.

In the slot machine 10, when the variable game is played 10 times in the reverse direction effect state, the reverse victory lottery is performed. In the slot machine 10, when the reverse victory lottery is won, even when the special value does not reach the privilege value (“0” in this embodiment), the reverse direction effect state is changed to the victory effect state. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the reverse victory lottery is won, the game shifts from the reverse effect state to the victory effect state regardless of the special value. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the reverse victory lottery is not won, the reverse direction effect state is changed to the confrontation effect state. In this way, after the end of the reversal effect state, the state shifts to the confrontation effect state or the victory effect state. However, when the stock is consumed and the game shifts to the reverse effect effect state, the slot machine 10 does not shift from the reverse effect effect state to the confrontation effect state, even if the slot machine 10 does not win the reverse win lottery, and from the reverse effect effect state. It shifts to the victory production state.

Next, the revival production state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21, the revival effect state in the slot machine 10 is an effect state in which the player stays until the variable game is played five times. In the slot machine 10, the specific value does not change in the revival effect state. In the slot machine 10, the special value does not change in the revival effect state. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the specific value is "1", it is controlled to the revival effect state. However, in the slot machine 10, in the revival effect state, the end lottery is not performed even when the specific value reaches "1". Further, in the slot machine 10, in the revival effect state, the number of stocks may increase according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery. For example, in the slot machine 10, if a prize of a cherry role or a watermelon role is allowed in the revival effect state, a stock lottery is performed. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the stock lottery is won, 1 is added to the number of stocks, and the number of stocks increases.

In the slot machine 10, when the variable game is played five times in the revival production state, a reverse lottery is performed. In the slot machine 10, in the case of the revival effect state, it is easier to win the reverse lottery than in the case of the confrontation effect state. That is, in the slot machine 10, when it is in the revival effect state, it is easier to determine that the slot machine 10 shifts to the reverse effect effect state as compared with the case where it is in the confrontation effect state. Then, in the slot machine 10, if the reverse lottery is won while the revival effect state is in effect, the slot machine 10 shifts from the revival effect state to the reverse effect effect state. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, if the reverse lottery is not won in the revival effect state, the revival effect state shifts to the confrontation effect state. However, when the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the resurrection effect state, the slot machine 10 does not shift from the resurrection effect state to the confrontation effect state and reverses from the resurrection effect state even if the slot machine 10 does not win the reverse lottery. It shifts to the production state. In this way, after the end of the revival effect state, the state shifts to the confrontation effect state or the reverse effect effect state.

Next, the winning production state will be described.
In the slot machine 10, the winning effect state is an effect state in which the player stays until a predetermined number of variable games are played. As shown in FIG. 19, the number of variable games played in the winning effect state is "20 times", "30 times", "40 times", "50 times", "60 times", "70 times", and " It will be any of "80 times" and "100 times".

Then, when the variable game is played a predetermined number of times in the winning effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts from the victory effect state to the confrontation effect state or the complete victory effect state. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, if the number of times the game has transitioned to the victory effect state without shifting to the normal effect state has not reached 15 times (number of consecutive villas <15), the confrontation effect state is reached after the end of the victory effect state. Is controlled by. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the number of times of shifting to the winning effect state reaches 15 times without shifting to the normal effect state (number of consecutive villas = 15), the slot machine 10 is controlled to the complete victory effect state after the end of the victory effect state. To.

Incidentally, in the slot machine 10, when shifting from the victory effect state to the confrontation effect state, the specific value is initialized. Specifically, in the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment, the initial value of the specific value (“4” in the present embodiment) is set to the specific value, and the specific value is initialized. Further, in the slot machine 10, a new special value is set when shifting from the victory effect state to the confrontation effect state. In the slot machine 10, a value determined by an internal lottery is newly set as a special value.

As shown in FIG. 22, in the slot machine 10, a victory blessing effect is executed in which the main character character congratulates the victory of the confrontation with the enemy character in the victory effect state. The victory blessing effect is executed by the effect display device 15. In the slot machine 10, in the case of the winning effect state, the effect display device 15 displays the remaining number of games image Ge capable of specifying the remaining number of variable games until the end of the victory effect state. The number of remaining games image Ge having the characters "12 times remaining" shown in FIG. 22 is the number of remaining games that can be specified that the remaining number of variable games until the end of the winning effect state is "12 times". Corresponds to image Ge. In the slot machine 10, after the end of the winning effect state, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the confrontation effect state or the complete victory effect state. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, although the remaining number of variable games until the end of the winning effect state can be specified from the content of the remaining game number image Ge, the remaining number of variable games until the end of the advantageous effect state can be specified. It cannot be specified.

In the slot machine 10, the specific value does not change in the winning effect state. In the slot machine 10, the special value does not change in the winning effect state. Further, in the slot machine 10, the end lottery is not performed when the winning effect is achieved. Further, in the slot machine 10, in the winning effect state, the number of stocks may increase according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery. For example, in the slot machine 10, if the winning combination of cherry or watermelon is allowed in the winning effect state, a stock lottery is performed. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the stock lottery is won, 1 is added to the number of stocks, and the number of stocks increases.

Next, the complete victory production state will be described.
In the slot machine 10, the complete victory effect state is an effect state in which the player stays until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the upper limit of the number of advantageous times. That is, when the state shifts to the complete victory effect state, the complete victory effect state is continuously controlled until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number in the complete victory effect state, the slot machine 10 shifts from the complete win effect state to the normal effect state.

As shown in FIG. 23A, in the slot machine 10, the content congratulating the main character and the first to third companion characters have won the confrontation with the enemy character 15 times in the complete victory production state. The complete victory production of is executed. The complete victory effect is executed by the effect display device 15. In the slot machine 10, the winning effect is an effect that is executed only in the winning effect state. That is, the complete victory effect is executed only when the number of times the game has transitioned to the victory effect state without shifting to the normal effect state reaches 15 times, that is, when the confrontation with the enemy character is won 15 times. Is. Therefore, the execution of the complete victory effect is rarer than the execution of the victory blessing effect, and the player is greatly pleased that the complete victory effect is executed, that is, the experience of the complete victory effect. In the case of the complete win effect state, the effect display device 15 does not notify the remaining number of variable games until the complete win effect state ends. That is, in the case of the complete victory effect state, the remaining number of times until the advantageous consecutive number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number is not notified. Therefore, in the complete winning effect state, it is not possible to specify the remaining number of times of the variable game until the advantageous effect state ends.

Further, in the slot machine 10, the specific value does not change when the winning effect is achieved. In the slot machine 10, the special value does not change when the winning effect is achieved. Further, in the slot machine 10, the end lottery is not performed when the winning effect is achieved. Further, in the slot machine 10, when the winning effect is achieved, the stock lottery is not performed and the number of stocks does not increase.

Next, the ending effect state will be described.
In the slot machine 10, the ending effect state is an effect state of staying until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. That is, when the transition to the ending effect state is entered, the ending effect state is continuously controlled until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times. Then, in the slot machine 10, when the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number in the ending effect state, the ending effect state shifts to the normal effect state.

As shown in FIG. 23B, in the slot machine 10, in the ending effect state, the ending effect of the content congratulating the transition to the ending effect state is executed. The ending effect is executed by the effect display device 15. In the slot machine 10, the ending effect is an effect executed only in the ending effect state. That is, the ending effect is an effect that is executed only when the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied. Therefore, the player is very pleased that the ending effect has been executed, that is, that the ending effect can be experienced. In the case of the ending effect state, the effect display device 15 does not notify the remaining number of times of the variable game until the ending effect state ends. That is, in the ending effect state, the remaining number of times until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number is not notified. Therefore, in the ending effect state, it is not possible to specify the remaining number of times of the variable game until the advantageous effect state ends.

Further, in the slot machine 10, the specific value does not change in the ending effect state. In the slot machine 10, the special value does not change in the ending effect state. Further, in the slot machine 10, the end lottery is not performed in the ending effect state.

Here, the control in each effect state will be described.
First, the control in the normal effect state will be described.
In the normal production state, the main control CPU 40a performs an advantageous permissible lottery. The main control CPU 40a is a case where information that can identify that the transition to the advantageous effect state is permitted (hereinafter referred to as advantageous allowable information) is not stored in the main control RAM 40c and is in the normal effect state. , Advantageous permissible lottery may be held. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a performs an advantageous permissible lottery when the winning of the cherry role is allowed and when the winning of the watermelon role is allowed. Then, when the advantageous permissible lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a stores the advantageous permissible information in the main control RAM 40c. Further, when the advantageous allowable lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as an advantageous allowable command) that can identify that the transition to the advantageous effect state is permitted in the output buffer. On the other hand, when the advantage allowance lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a does not store the advantage allowance information in the main control RAM 40c and does not store the advantage allowance command in the output buffer.

Further, the main control CPU 40a determines the number of precursors when the advantageous permissible lottery is performed. When the precursor number is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores the precursor number information capable of specifying the precursor number in the main control RAM 40c. When the precursor count is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a precursor count command) capable of specifying the precursor count in the output buffer. When the number of precursors that can be specified from the information on the number of precursors is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the information on the number of precursors that can be specified when the variable game is started, and updates the information on the number of precursors. do. Then, when the advantageous permissible information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a updates the preparation effect state to the effect state information that can specify the preparation effect state when the number of precursors after the update reaches "0". do. As a result, the effect state shifts from the normal effect state to the preparatory effect state. For example, the main control CPU 40a may update the effect state information after the winning determination when the number of precursors after the update reaches “0”.

Incidentally, when the advantageous permissible information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a updates the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information when the promoted re-gaming combination wins a prize. As a result, the effect state shifts from the normal effect state to the confrontation effect state. In this case, the main control CPU 40a initializes the precursor number. For example, the main control CPU 40a erases the precursor count information stored in the main control RAM 40c, updates the precursor count information to the precursor count information that can identify that the precursor count is “0”, and the like. To initialize.

Further, when updating the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information in the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a sets an initial value to a specific value stored in the main control RAM 40c. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a sets "4" to the specific value and sets the initial value to the specific value. Further, when updating the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information in the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines a special value by lottery. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets the determined special value to the special value stored in the main control RAM 40c.

Further, when updating the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information in the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines the mode pattern from a plurality of types of mode patterns stored in the main control ROM 40b. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as mode pattern information) that can specify the determined mode pattern in the main control RAM 40c. Further, when the mode pattern is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a mode pattern designation command) for designating the determined mode pattern in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 40a initializes information that can specify the number of times (the number of consecutive villas) controlled in the confrontation effect state without being controlled by the normal effect state (hereinafter, referred to as the number of consecutive villas information). Specifically, the main control CPU 40a sets "1" for the number of consecutive villas that can be specified from the information on the number of consecutive villas, and initializes the information on the number of consecutive villas. Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of consecutive villas is updated, the main control CPU 40a is the control information for designating the number of consecutive villas that can be specified from the updated number of consecutive villas information (hereinafter referred to as the continuous villa count command). In the output buffer.

Further, the sub-control CPU 41a stores in the sub-control RAM 41c the sub-advantageous permissible information that can identify that the transition to the advantageous effect state is permitted when the advantageous permissible command is input. The sub-advantageous permissible information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c during the transition from the advantageous effect state to the normal effect state (until the end of the advantageous effect state).

Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the precursor count command, it can specify whether the transition to the advantageous effect state is permitted within the period from the precursor count command to the play of the variable game of the precursor count. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the precursor effect from which the effect result is derived is executed. For example, when an advantageous allowance command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a derives an effect result capable of identifying that the transition to the advantageous effect state is permitted in the final variable game among the variable games of the precursor number of times. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the precursor effect to be performed is executed. On the other hand, when the advantageous allowance command is not input, the sub-control CPU 41a can specify that the transition to the advantageous effect state is not permitted in the final variable game among the variable games of the precursor number. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the derived precursor effect is executed. The precursor effect may be configured to be executed in one variable game, or may be configured to be executed over a plurality of variable games.

Next, the control in the preparatory effect state will be described.
In the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates information that can specify the number of variable games played in the advantageous effect state (hereinafter, referred to as advantageous continuous number of times information). The advantageous continuous number of times information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information and updates the advantageous continuous number of times information when the variable game is played in the preparatory effect state. The advantageous consecutive number of times information corresponds to the information that can specify the advantageous continuous number of times. Then, when the advantageous continuous number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information. When updating the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information, the main control CPU 40a initializes the advantageous continuous number of times information. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a sets "0" for the advantageous continuous number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information, and initializes the advantageous continuous number of times information.

In the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information when the promoted re-game combination wins a prize. For example, when the main control CPU 40a is in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a may be configured to update the effect state information after determining the winning of the promotion re-game combination in the winning determination.

Further, when updating the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information in the preparation effect state, the main control CPU 40a sets an initial value to a specific value stored in the main control RAM 40c. Further, when updating the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines a special value by lottery. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets the determined special value to the special value stored in the main control RAM 40c.

Further, when updating the confrontation effect state to the identifiable effect state information in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines the mode pattern from a plurality of types of mode patterns. Further, when the mode pattern is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores the mode pattern designation command for designating the determined mode pattern in the output buffer. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores the mode pattern information that can specify the determined mode pattern in the main control RAM 40c. Further, the main control CPU 40a initializes the information on the number of consecutive villas.

In the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a provides the payout display unit 37 with operation information capable of specifying the operation order of the stop button for winning the promoted re-game combination when the promotion re-game combination is allowed to win. Display. Further, in the preparatory effect state, when the winning of the bell combination is permitted, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit 37 to display the operation information notifying the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell combination.

In the preparatory effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a can specify that the operation information that can specify the operation order of the stop button for winning the promotion re-game combination is displayed based on the winning command and the operation mode command. In this case, the effect display device 15 is controlled so that the seven navigation effect is executed. Further, in the preparatory effect state, when the winning of the bell role is allowed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the navigation effect for notifying the operation order identifiable from the operation mode command is executed. do. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the yellow navigation effect is executed.

Next, the control in the confrontation effect state will be described.
In the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates the advantageous continuous number of times information. The main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information and updates the advantageous continuous number of times information when the variable game is played in the confrontation effect state. Then, when the advantageous continuous number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information. When updating the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information, the main control CPU 40a initializes the advantageous continuous number of times information.

In the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates information that can specify the number of variable games played in the confrontation effect state (hereinafter, referred to as confrontation stay number information). The confrontation stay number information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of times that can be specified from the confrontation stay number information when the variable game is played in the confrontation effect state, and updates the confrontation stay number information. In the case of the confrontation effect state, when the number of times that can be specified from the confrontation stay number information reaches the confrontation stay upper limit number (100 times in this embodiment), the main control CPU 40a can specify the victory effect state. Update to the production status information. As a result, the confrontation production state ends, and the victory production state is controlled. As described above, the main control CPU 40a grants a privilege when the number of variable games played in the confrontation effect state reaches the confrontation effect upper limit number of times.

In the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a may perform an internal lottery (hereinafter, referred to as a companion appearance lottery) for determining whether to execute the companion appearance effect. The main control RAM 40c stores information that can identify the types of fellow characters that have already appeared (hereinafter referred to as fellow information). The companion information includes the first companion information that can identify that the first companion character has appeared, the second companion information that can identify that the second companion character has appeared, and the third companion character. There is third companion information that can be identified as appearing.

The main control CPU 40a may perform a companion appearance lottery when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed. Specifically, when the main control CPU 40a does not store the companion information in the main control RAM 40c, or when the companion information of one of the first companion information to the third companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. A lottery for friends will be held. Further, when two companion information out of the first companion information to the third companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a has reached the maximum number of confrontation stays that can be specified from the confrontation stay number information. In that case, a lottery for the appearance of friends will be held. Incidentally, when two companion information out of the first companion information to the third companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a is in the case where the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed in the confrontation production state. Even if there is, if the number of times that can be specified from the confrontation stay count information has not reached the confrontation stay maximum number of times, the companion appearance lottery will not be performed. Thereby, in the slot machine 10, when all the fellow characters from the first fellow character to the third fellow character appear, it is possible to specify that the transition to the victory effect state, that is, the privilege is given.

When the fellow appearance lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the type of the fellow character to be made to appear. Specifically, when the main control RAM 40c does not store the companion information, or when the main control RAM 40c stores the companion information of one of the first companion information to the third companion information, the main control CPU 40a sets the main control CPU 40a. The type of the fellow character to appear is determined from the fellow characters corresponding to the fellow information not stored in the main control RAM 40c. For example, when the first companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c and the companion appearance lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a selects the type of companion character to appear from the second companion character and the third companion character. decide. Further, when two companion information out of the first companion information to the third companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a causes the companion character corresponding to the unstored companion information to appear. To be determined as. For example, when the first companion information and the second companion information are stored in the main control RAM 40c and the companion appearance lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the third companion character as the type of companion character to appear. ..

Further, when the type of the companion character to be made to appear is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores the companion information that can identify the companion character to be made to appear in the main control RAM 40c. The companion information stored in the main control RAM 40c is retained until the winning effect state ends. Further, when the type of the fellow character to be made to appear is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a fellow appearance command) that can be specified to execute the fellow appearance effect in the output buffer. From the companion appearance command, it is possible to specify the type of companion character to appear.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a companion appearance command, the sub-control CPU 41a stores in the sub-control RAM 41c information corresponding to the companion character that can be specified from the companion appearance command (hereinafter referred to as sub-companion information). The sub-companion information includes the first sub-companion information stored when the first companion character can be identified from the companion appearance command and the second companion information stored when the second companion character can be identified from the companion appearance command. There are 2 sub-companion information and 3rd sub-companion information stored when the 3rd companion character can be identified from the companion appearance command. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a companion appearance command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the companion appearance effect in which the companion character identifiable from the companion appearance command appears is executed. Further, after executing the companion appearance effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the companion image corresponding to the companion character that appeared in the companion appearance effect is displayed. For example, when the companion appearance effect in which the first companion character appears is executed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the first companion image NC1 is displayed.

Further, in the case of the confrontation effect state, when the companion character has already appeared, the main control CPU 40a performs an internal lottery (hereinafter, referred to as a companion effect lottery) for determining whether to execute the companion effect. Specifically, when the companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a performs a companion production lottery. The main control CPU 40a performs a companion production lottery when the variable game is played, regardless of the lottery result of the combination lottery.

When the companion production lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the type of companion production according to the type of companion information stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a determines the type of the companion effect, the first companion effect is stored when the first companion information is stored, the second companion effect is stored when the second companion information is stored, and the third companion effect is stored. When the companion information is stored, it is possible to determine the third companion production. When the type of the companion effect is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as companion effect information) that can be specified to execute the companion effect in the main control RAM 40c. The companion production information stored in the main control RAM 40c is deleted when the variable game ends. Further, when the type of the companion effect is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a companion effect command) that can be specified to execute the companion effect in the output buffer. From the companion production command in this embodiment, the type of companion production can be specified.

Then, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the companion effect command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the companion effect that can be specified from the companion effect command is executed. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the first companion effect is executed when the companion effect command that can specify the first companion effect is input.

In the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a may perform a stock lottery. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery when a winning combination of a cherry or a watermelon is allowed. When the stock lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a updates the information that can specify the number of stocks (hereinafter referred to as stock information). The main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of stocks that can be specified from the stock information, and updates the stock information. On the other hand, if the stock lottery is not won, the stock information will not be updated. When the stock information is updated, the control information that can specify the number of stocks after the update can be stored in the output buffer. In such a configuration, an effect corresponding to the number of stocks (for example, an effect for notifying the number of stocks) can be executed by an effect device (for example, an effect display device 15) controlled by the sub-control CPU 41a.

Further, in the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a specific value reduction lottery that determines a specific value reduction amount when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games. However, the main control CPU 40a does not perform a reduction lottery of a specific value when the specific update information is stored in the main control RAM 40c even when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games. .. The specific update information is information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the special value is not updated after the specific value is updated, and it is specified that the special value has not been updated since the specific value was updated. Corresponds to possible information. The specific update information stored in the main control RAM 40c is deleted when the special value is updated. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted until the special update condition is satisfied and the special value is updated.

In the reduction lottery of the specific value, the reduction amount of the specific value is determined from the values of "0" and "1 or more". When "0" is determined in the reduction lottery of the specific value, it is determined not to decrease the specific value. There are a plurality of "1 or more" values that can be determined in the reduction lottery of a specific value. Then, when a value of "1 or more" is determined in the reduction lottery of the specific value, the main control CPU 40a performs a specific subtraction process of subtracting the value corresponding to the reduction amount of the specific value from the specific value, and causes the main control RAM 40c to perform a specific subtraction process. Update the stored specific value. In this way, the main control CPU 40a updates the specific value by performing the specific subtraction process of subtracting the subtraction value (specific subtraction value) to be subtracted from the specific value from the specific value. Incidentally, when the value to be subtracted from the specific value is a value equal to or higher than the specific value before the subtraction, the main control CPU 40a sets the specific value after the specific subtraction process to "1 (lower limit value of the specific value)". Further, when the specific value reaches the lower limit value, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the specific subtraction process. In the present embodiment, the "decrease amount of the specific value" is the same as the value subtracted from the specific value. That is, the "decrease amount of the specific value" corresponds to the subtraction value (specific subtraction value) to be subtracted from the specific value.

In the main control CPU 40a, even when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the main control RAM 40c stores the companion effect information that can specify the first companion effect. Do not draw a specific value reduction lottery. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the first companion effect is executed, the specific value reduction lottery is not performed by the main control CPU 40a, and the specific subtraction process is not performed.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the subtraction value to be subtracted from the specific value by performing the reduction lottery of the specific value, so that it can be seen that the subtraction value to be subtracted from the specific value is determined by the lottery. Further, after the "decrease amount of the specific value" is determined, the subtraction value is subtracted from the specific value and the specific value changes. Therefore, the "decrease amount of the specific value" corresponds to the "change amount of the specific value" and the "change value (specific change value) that changes the specific value". It can be said that the main control CPU 40a determines a specific change value that changes the specific value by performing a reduction lottery for the specific value. Further, in the present embodiment, when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, a subtraction lottery for a specific value is performed, and a subtraction value to be subtracted from the specific value is determined by the lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, when the specific value is subtracted, the specific value approaches the predetermined value "1". That is, the fact that the specific value is subtracted and updated corresponds to the update so that the specific value approaches a predetermined value. Then, in the present embodiment, the first specific update condition is satisfied when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games.

Incidentally, in the main control RAM 40c in the present embodiment, information that can specify the number of consecutive variable games in which the normal replaying combination is won (hereinafter referred to as first continuous number information) is stored. In the confrontation effect state, when the normal replay combination wins a prize, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to a identifiable value from the first consecutive number of times information and updates the first continuous number of times information. Incidentally, when the value identifiable from the updated first consecutive number of times information reaches "3", the main control CPU 40a initializes the first continuous number of times information. Further, the main control CPU 40a initializes the first continuous number of times information when the replaying combination is not normally won. The main control CPU 40a sets "0", which is an initial value, to the number of times that can be specified from the first continuous number of times information, and initializes the first continuous number of times information. Based on the first consecutive number of times information, the main control CPU 40a can specify whether or not the normal replaying combination has won a prize in three consecutive variable games.

In the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a specific value increase lottery that determines the amount of increase in the specific value when the bell combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games. Further, in the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs an increase lottery of a specific value when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed. However, the main control CPU 40a is an increase lottery of a specific value when the specific update information is stored in the main control RAM 40c even when the bell combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games. Do not do. Similarly, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the increase lottery of the specific value when the specific update information is stored in the main control RAM 40c even when the winning of the cherry combination or the watermelon combination is allowed. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted until the special update condition is satisfied and the special value is updated.

In the increase lottery of the specific value, the amount of increase of the specific value is determined from "0" and "1 or more". When "0" is determined in the lottery for increasing the specific value, it is determined not to increase the specific value. There are a plurality of "1 or more" values that can be determined in the increase lottery of a specific value. Then, when a value of "1 or more" is determined in the increase lottery of the specific value, the main control CPU 40a performs a specific addition process of adding the value corresponding to the increase amount of the specific value to the specific value, and causes the main control RAM 40c to perform the specific addition process. Update the stored specific value. In this way, the main control CPU 40a updates the specific value by performing the specific addition process of adding the addition value (specific addition value) to be added to the specific value to the specific value. Incidentally, when the value to be added to the specific value is greater than or equal to the value from the specific value before addition to the upper limit (when the specific value before addition is "4", the value up to the upper limit is "3"). The main control CPU 40a sets the specific value after the specific addition process to "7 (upper limit value of the specific value)". Further, when the specific value reaches the upper limit value, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the specific addition process. In the present embodiment, the "increase amount of the specific value" is the same as the value added to the specific value. That is, the "increase amount of the specific value" corresponds to the addition value (specific addition value) to be added to the specific value.

It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a stores the companion effect information that can specify the first companion effect in the main control RAM 40c even when the bell combination or the bell replay combination wins in three consecutive variable games. If so, the lottery to increase the specific value will not be performed. Similarly, the main control CPU 40a has a specific value when the main control RAM 40c stores the companion effect information that can specify the first companion effect even when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed. No additional lottery will be held. As described above, in the slot machine 10, when the first companion effect is executed, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the increase lottery of the specific value, and the specific addition process is not performed.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the addition value to be added to the specific value by performing the increase lottery of the specific value, so that it can be seen that the addition value to be added to the specific value is determined by the lottery. Further, after the "increase amount of the specific value" is determined, the added value is added to the specific value and the specific value changes. Therefore, the "increase amount of the specific value" corresponds to the "change amount of the specific value" and the "change value (specific change value) that changes the specific value". It can be said that the main control CPU 40a determines a specific change value that changes the specific value by performing an increase lottery for the specific value. Further, in the present embodiment, when the bell role or the bell replaying role is won in three consecutive variable games, or when the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to be won, a specific value increase lottery is performed. , The additional value to be added to the specific value is determined by lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, when the value is added to the specific value, the specific value moves away from the predetermined value “1”. That is, adding to and updating a specific value corresponds to updating the specific value so as to move away from a predetermined value. Then, in the present embodiment, the second specific update condition is satisfied when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, or when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed. do. As described above, in the present embodiment, the specific update conditions include a first specific update condition and a second specific update condition.

Incidentally, in the main control RAM 40c in the present embodiment, information that can specify the number of consecutive variable games in which the bell combination or the bell replaying combination is won (hereinafter referred to as the second consecutive number of times information) is stored. In the confrontation effect state, when the bell combination or the bell replay combination wins a prize, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to a identifiable value from the second consecutive number of times information and updates the second consecutive number of times information. Incidentally, when the value identifiable from the updated second consecutive number of times information reaches "3", the main control CPU 40a initializes the second continuous number of times information. Further, the main control CPU 40a initializes the second continuous number of times information when the bell combination or the bell replay combination does not win a prize. The main control CPU 40a sets "0", which is an initial value, to the number of times that can be specified from the second consecutive number of times information, and initializes the second continuous number of times information. Based on the second consecutive number of times information, the main control CPU 40a can specify whether the bell winning combination or the bell replaying combination has won a prize in three consecutive variable games.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the change value that changes the specific value is determined by the main control CPU 40a performing the decrease lottery of the specific value and the increase lottery of the specific value. In the present embodiment, when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, a reduction lottery for a specific value is performed, and a change value for changing the specific value is determined by the lottery. In addition, when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games, or when the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win, a specific value increase lottery is performed and the specific value is set. The change value to be changed is determined by lottery. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, or the cherry role or watermelon. If the winning combination is allowed, the specific renewal condition is satisfied. In this way, the main control CPU 40a determines a change value (specific change value) that changes the specific value when the specific update condition is satisfied by lottery. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the change value (specific change value) that changes the specific value, so that the function as the specific change value determination means is realized. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a updates the specific value stored in the main control RAM 40c, thereby realizing a function as a specific value updating means for updating the specific value. As described above, in the present embodiment, the specific value updating means updates the specific value by changing the specific value according to the specific change value determined by the specific change value determining means.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted corresponds to the case where the lottery result of the combination lottery is the specific lottery result. In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, when the stop button is operated in the pressing order (predetermined operation order) for winning the bell replaying combination, the bell replaying combination is played. A prize may be won and the second specific renewal condition may be satisfied among the specific renewal conditions. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, when the stop button is operated in the operation order for winning the normal replaying combination (operation order different from the predetermined operation order). Is usually won by a re-gaming combination, and the first specific renewal condition may be satisfied among the specific renewal conditions. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is the specific lottery result, the second specific update condition may be satisfied when the stop operation is performed in the predetermined operation order. When the stop operation is performed in an operation order different from the predetermined operation order, the first specific update condition may be satisfied.

When the variable game is played in the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a specific value command) capable of specifying a specific value in the output buffer.
Then, when the specific value command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the meter image Ga having the content corresponding to the specific value that can be specified from the specific value command is displayed. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the meter image Ga shown in FIG. 12A is displayed when the specific value is specified to be "1" from the input specific value command. .. In the present embodiment, by controlling the sub-control CPU 41a so that the meter image Ga is displayed, the function as the specific effect control means for controlling the execution of the specific effect is realized.

When the content of the meter image Ga is changed, that is, when the specific value that can be specified from the specific value command changes, the sub-control CPU 41a produces a pre-specific change effect at a timing before changing the content of the meter image Ga. Is controlled so that the effect display device 15 is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the effect before the specific change of the content according to the increase / decrease of the specific value (whether the specific value increases or decreases) is executed. However, when the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the special pre-change effect is executed, the sub-control CPU 41a does not control the effect display device 15 so that the specific pre-change effect is executed. That is, the special pre-change effect is executed with priority over the specific pre-change effect.

Further, in the case of a confrontation effect state, when the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the main control CPU 40a may perform an end lottery. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a normally performs an end lottery when the replaying combination wins a prize. When the main control CPU 40a wins the end lottery, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as an end winning command) indicating that the end lottery has been won in the output buffer. Further, when the end lottery is won and the number of stocks that can be specified from the stock information is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the number of stocks that can be specified from the stock information and updates the stock information. .. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the revival effect state to the identifiable effect state information. As a result, the confrontation effect state ends and the revival effect state is controlled. As described above, even when the end lottery is won, if the number of stocks is 1 or more, the advantageous effect state does not end and the advantageous effect state continues. In this way, even if the end lottery is won by subtracting the number of stocks, the advantageous production state continues, so that the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the revival production state. Further, when the stock is consumed and the state shifts to the revival effect state, the main control CPU 40a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as stock consumption information) that can identify that the stock has been consumed in the main control RAM 40c. The stock consumption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c until the transition to the winning effect state is entered.

On the other hand, when the end lottery is won and the number of stocks that can be specified from the stock information is 0, the main control CPU 40a performs the revival lottery. In this way, when the end lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a performs the revival lottery. The winning probability of the revival lottery performed by the main control CPU 40a differs depending on the special value (shown in FIG. 13B). When the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is not won when the number of stocks is 0, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information. As a result, the confrontation effect state ends, and the control is controlled to the normal effect state. In this way, if the end lottery is won, the advantageous production state may end. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the end lottery is won when the number of stocks is 0 and the revival lottery is not won, the advantageous production state ends. Further, when updating the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information, the main control CPU 40a initializes the advantageous continuous number of times information.

When the advantageous effect state ends and the control is performed to the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a erases the stored contents of the main control RAM 40c regarding the advantageous effect state. For example, when the companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a erases the companion information. Similarly, when the advantageous effect state ends and is controlled to the normal effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a erases the stored contents of the sub-control RAM 41c regarding the advantageous effect state. For example, when the sub-control CPU 41a stores the sub-companion information in the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a erases the sub-companion information.

On the other hand, when the number of stocks is 0, the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a updates the revival effect state to the identifiable effect state information. As a result, the confrontation effect state ends and the revival effect state is controlled. In this way, even if the end lottery is won, if the revival lottery is won, the advantageous effect state will continue without ending the advantageous effect state.

The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the ending effect is executed when the end winning command is input. When the end winning command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the normal effect state or the revival effect state after the ending effect is executed. Specifically, when the end winning command is input and the effect state command that can specify the normal effect state is input, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect so as to shift to the normal effect state after the ending effect is executed. It controls the device 15. On the other hand, when the end winning command is input and the effect state command capable of specifying the revival effect state is input, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the revival effect state after the ending effect is executed. To control. Incidentally, the situation in which the end winning command is input and the effect state command capable of specifying the normal effect state is input corresponds to the situation in which the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is not won. On the other hand, the situation where the end winning command is input and the effect state command that can specify the revival effect state is input is the situation where the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is won, or the number of stocks is 1 or more. It corresponds to the situation where the end lottery was won.

Further, in the case of a confrontation effect state, when the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the main control CPU 40a may perform a reverse lottery. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a performs a reverse lottery when a winning combination of a cherry or a watermelon is allowed. Then, when the reverse lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a updates the reverse effect state to the identifiable effect state information. As a result, the confrontation effect state ends and the reverse effect effect state is controlled.

In the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a special value reduction lottery for determining the amount of reduction of the special value when the bell combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games. Further, in the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a special value reduction lottery when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed. In the special value reduction lottery, the special value reduction amount is determined from "0" and "1 or more". If "0" is determined in the special value reduction lottery, it is determined not to reduce the special value. There are multiple "1 or more" values that can be determined in the special value reduction lottery. Then, when a value of "1 or more" is determined in the special value reduction lottery, the main control CPU 40a performs a special subtraction process of subtracting the value corresponding to the special value reduction amount from the special value, and causes the main control RAM 40c to perform a special subtraction process. Update the stored special value. Incidentally, when the value to be subtracted from the special value is larger than the special value before the subtraction, the main control CPU 40a sets the special value after the special subtraction process to "0". In the present embodiment, the "reduction amount of the special value" is the same as the value subtracted from the special value. That is, the "reduction amount of the special value" corresponds to the subtraction value (special subtraction value) to be subtracted from the special value.

Further, when the value of "1 or more" is determined in the special value reduction lottery, the main control CPU 40a deletes the specific update information when the specific update information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. In this way, after the specific value is updated and the specific update information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the specific update information continues to be stored in the main control RAM 40c until the special value is updated, and after the specific value is updated, it is stored again. Updates to specific values continue to be restricted. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, after the special value is updated, the special value is updated regardless of whether or not the specific value is updated. That is, in the present embodiment, after the special update condition is satisfied and the special value is updated, the special value may be updated even if the specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value is not updated.

The special value reduction lottery performed by the main control CPU 40a differs depending on whether the main control RAM 40c stores the companion effect information that can specify the second companion effect. Specifically, in the special value reduction lottery performed when the companion effect information that can specify the second companion effect is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the companion effect information that can specify the second companion effect in the main control RAM 40c. Compared to the special value reduction lottery performed when is not stored, the special value reduction amount tends to be large. That is, when the main control CPU 40a stores the companion effect information that can specify the second companion effect in the main control RAM 40c, and does not store the companion effect information that can specify the second companion effect in the main control RAM 40c. In comparison with, it is easy to determine a large value as a subtraction value to be subtracted from the special value in the special value reduction lottery. As a result, when the second companion effect is executed, the amount of decrease in the special value tends to be large.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the subtraction value to be subtracted from the special value by performing the special value reduction lottery, so that it can be seen that the subtraction value to be subtracted from the special value is determined by the lottery. Further, after the "decrease amount of the special value" is determined, the subtraction value is subtracted from the special value and the special value changes. Therefore, the "subtraction amount of the special value" corresponds to the "change amount of the special value" and the "change value for changing the special value (special change value)". It can be said that the main control CPU 40a determines the special change value for changing the special value by performing a special value reduction lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games, or when the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win, the special value subtraction lottery is performed. The subtraction value to be subtracted from the special value is determined by lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games, or when the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win, the special value subtraction lottery is performed. The subtraction value to be subtracted from the special value is determined by lottery.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special renewal condition is satisfied when the bell role or the bell replaying combination is won in three consecutive variable games, or when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed. As the special renewal condition of the present embodiment, the first special renewal condition that is established when the bell role or the bell replaying role is won in three consecutive variable games, and the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role are permitted. There is a second special renewal condition that is satisfied in some cases. In order to establish the first special renewal condition in the slot machine 10, in addition to allowing the winning of the bell role or the bell replaying role in the winning combination lottery, the push order for winning the bell role or the bell replaying role is used. You need to operate the stop button. That is, in the present embodiment, the first special update condition is satisfied when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is the first special result and the stop operation units are operated in a specific order. Further, in order to satisfy the second special renewal condition in the slot machine 10, it is necessary to allow the winning of the cherry or watermelon role in the winning combination lottery, and the operation order of the stop buttons is not required. That is, in the present embodiment, the second special update condition is satisfied when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is the second special result regardless of the operation order of the stop operation unit. As described above, in the slot machine 10, the probability that the winning combination of cherry or watermelon is allowed in the winning combination lottery is lower than the probability that the winning of the bell role or the bell replaying combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery. That is, in the present embodiment, the probability that the lottery result of the winning combination will be the second special result is lower than the probability that the lottery result of the winning combination will be the first special result.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the change value (special change value) that changes the special value, so that the function as the special change value determination means is realized. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a updates the special value stored in the main control RAM 40c, thereby realizing a function as a special value updating means for updating the special value. As described above, in the present embodiment, the special value updating means updates the special value by changing the special value according to the special change value determined by the special change value determining means when the special update condition is satisfied. ..

When the variable game is played in the confrontation effect state, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a special value command) capable of specifying a special value in an output buffer.
Then, when the special value command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the enemy soldier number image Gb having the content corresponding to the special value that can be specified from the special value command is displayed. For example, when the sub-control CPU 41a specifies that the special value is "426" from the input special value command, the enemy soldier number image Gb having the characters "remaining enemy soldiers: 426" is displayed. Controls the effect display device 15. In the present embodiment, by controlling the sub-control CPU 41a so that the enemy soldier number image Gb is displayed, the function as a special effect control means for controlling the execution of the special effect is realized.

When the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb can be changed, the sub-control CPU 41a may control the effect display device 15 so that the effect before the special change is executed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a is specially changed when the bell combination or the bell replaying combination is won in two consecutive variable games and the bell combination or the bell replaying combination is allowed to win. The effect display device 15 may be controlled so that the pre-effect is executed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a may control the effect display device 15 so that the effect before the special change is executed when the winning of the cherry combination or the watermelon combination is allowed.

When executing the special change pre-effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is the effect display device 15 so that the special change pre-effect is executed with the common effect contents until the stop operation command is input three times after inputting the variable game start command. To control. Then, when the stop operation command is input three times after inputting the variable game start command, the sub-control CPU 41a is executed when the special value command is not input (when the special value does not change) or when the special value does not decrease. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the effect before special change is executed. Further, when the variable game start command is input and then the stop operation command is input three times, the sub-control CPU 41a is executed when the special value command is input (when the special value changes) or when the special value decreases. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the effect before special change is executed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the unachieved pre-special change effect is executed when the special value that can be specified from the input special value command is "1 or more". .. On the other hand, when the special value identifiable from the input special value command is "0", the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the achievement type pre-special change effect is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the second achievement type pre-change effect is executed when the winning of the cherry combination or the watermelon combination is allowed. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the first achievement type pre-change effect is executed when the winning of the cherry combination or the watermelon combination is not allowed.

If the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is not allowed and the special value that can be specified from the special value command is "0", the bell role or bell replay in three consecutive variable games. This corresponds to the case where the special value after the decrease reaches "0" due to the decrease of the special value when the game combination wins a prize. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, the special value is updated when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, and the effect content of the pre-special change effect when the special value reaches the privilege value. Is different from the production content of the pre-special change effect when the special value is updated when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed and the special value reaches the privilege value. That is, in the present embodiment, the second special update condition is satisfied as the effect content of the special effect executed when the special value is updated when the first special update condition is satisfied and the special value reaches the privilege value. If the special value is updated and the special value reaches the privilege value, at least a part of the effect content of the special effect is different.

In the slot machine 10, a special value is predetermined in either the case where the bell role or the bell re-game combination is won in three consecutive variable games, or the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to be won. Even when the privilege value is reached, the effect content of the pre-special change effect until the remaining one reel stops is the same common effect content. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, a special value is predetermined in either the case where the bell role or the bell re-game combination is won in three consecutive variable games, or the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to be won. When the privilege value is reached, the production content of the pre-special change effect after the remaining one reel is stopped is different. That is, in the present embodiment, the special value is updated when the first special update condition is satisfied and the special value reaches the privilege value, and when the second special update condition is satisfied, the special value is updated.

Here, the control related to the notification of the operation information and the navigation effect in the confrontation effect state will be described.
In the confrontation effect state, when only the normal replay combination is allowed to win, the main control CPU 40a pays out the operation information for notifying the operation order of any of the first push order to the sixth push order. Display on 37. Further, in the confrontation effect state, when the promotion re-game combination is allowed to win, the main control CPU 40a provides operation information for notifying the operation order of the stop button for winning the promotion re-game combination 37. To display.

Then, in the confrontation effect state, when only the normal replay combination is allowed to win, the sub-control CPU 41a is an effect display device so as to execute a navigation effect that notifies the operation order that can be specified from the operation mode command. 15 is controlled. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that one of the blue navigation effect and the white navigation effect is executed.

To control. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the white navigation effect is executed.

Further, in the confrontation effect state, when the winning of the bell combination is permitted, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit 37 to display the operation information notifying the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell combination. Then, in the confrontation effect state, when the winning of the bell role is allowed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the navigation effect for notifying the operation order identifiable from the operation mode command is executed. do. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that one of the yellow navigation effect and the white navigation effect is executed.

Further, in the confrontation production state, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the main control CPU 40a determines whether to notify the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell replaying combination (internal lottery). Hereinafter, the bell replay navigation lottery will be performed). At this time, the main control CPU 40a performs the bell re-game navigation lottery with a winning probability according to the navigation rate of the bell re-game combination in the confrontation effect state during the stay. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a specifies the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination in the confrontation effect state in the number of consecutive villas that can be specified from the number of consecutive villas in the aspect pattern that can be specified from the aspect pattern information. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the aspect pattern that can be specified from the aspect pattern information is the aspect pattern TP2 and the number of consecutive villas that can be specified from the number of consecutive villas information is “2”, the main control CPU 40a It is specified that the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is "40%". Then, based on the navigation rate of the specified bell re-game navigation, the main control CPU 40a performs the bell re-game navigation lottery.

However, the winning probability of the bell replay navigation lottery performed by the main control CPU 40a differs depending on whether the main control RAM 40c stores the companion effect information that can specify the third companion effect. In the slot machine 10, the winning probability of the bell replay navigation lottery performed when the companion effect information that can specify the third companion effect is stored in the main control RAM 40c can specify the third companion effect in the main control RAM 40c. It is higher than the winning probability of the bell re-game navigation lottery that is performed when the information on the production of friends is not stored. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a has a higher navigation rate than the bell replaying combination specified from the mode pattern and the number of consecutive villas when the companion effect information that can specify the third companion effect is stored in the main control RAM 40c. A bell replay navigation lottery will be held with the probability as the winning probability. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a does not store the companion effect information that can specify the third companion effect in the main control RAM 40c, the winning probability is the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination specified from the mode pattern and the number of consecutive villas. Bell replay navigation lottery will be held. In the present embodiment, when the companion effect information that can specify the third companion effect is stored in the main control RAM 40c, it is "10%" higher than the navigation rate of the bell replaying role specified from the mode pattern and the number of consecutive villas. A bell replay navigation lottery will be held with the probability as the winning probability. For example, in the slot machine 10, when the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination specified from the mode pattern information and the number of consecutive villas is "40%", the main control RAM 40c stores the companion effect information that can specify the third companion effect. When it is done, the bell re-game navigation lottery is performed with a winning probability of "50% (= 40% + 10%)". On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination specified from the mode pattern information and the number of consecutive villas is "40%", the main control RAM 40c stores the companion production information that can specify the third companion production. If not, the bell re-game navigation lottery will be held with a winning probability of "40% (= 40% + 0%)". In this way, when the third companion effect is executed, the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell replay combination is easily notified.

Then, when the bell re-game navigation lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit 37 to display the operation information notifying the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell re-game combination. On the other hand, when the bell re-game navigation lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit 37 to display the operation information notifying the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-game. Although there are a plurality of operation sequences of the stop buttons for winning the normal re-game combination when the winning of the bell re-game combination is allowed, the main control CPU 40a operates the stop button for winning the normal re-game combination. The payout display unit 37 displays the operation information for notifying the operation order of any one of them. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the bell re-game navigation lottery is won, the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell re-game navigation is notified, but when the bell re-game navigation lottery is not won. The operation order of the stop button for winning the bell replay role is not notified.

Then, in the confrontation effect state, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the effect display device 15 so that the navigation effect for notifying the operation order that can be specified from the operation mode command is executed. To control. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the white navigation effect is executed.

Then, when the advantageous continuous number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information. As a result, the advantageous production state ends. Further, when updating the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information, the main control CPU 40a initializes the advantageous continuous number of times information.

Further, in the complete winning effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the complete winning effect is executed. As described above, the slot machine 10 does not shift to the complete victory effect state until the number of consecutive villas reaches 15, and the effect display device 15 does not execute the complete victory effect. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the number of consecutive villas reaches 15 times, the state shifts to the complete victory effect state, and the effect display device 15 executes the complete victory effect. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, the display content of the effect display device 15 after the number of times of shifting to the winning effect state without shifting to the normal effect state reaches 15 times is the victory effect state without shifting to the normal effect state. It is different from the display content of the effect display device 15 before the number of transitions to is 15 times. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect execution content of the effect execution means after the number of times the second end condition is satisfied without satisfying the first end condition after being controlled to the specific state reaches a predetermined number of times is the specific state. It is different from the effect execution content of the effect execution means before the number of times the second end condition is satisfied without satisfying the first end condition after being controlled by.

Note that the control related to the notification of the operation information and the navigation effect in the complete victory effect state is the same as the control related to the notification of the operation information and the navigation effect in the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, and the ending effect state. I will explain them all together.

Next, the control in the ending effect state will be described.
In the ending effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates the advantageous continuous number of times information. The main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information and updates the advantageous continuous number of times information when the variable game is played in the ending effect state. Then, when the advantageous continuous number of times that can be specified from the advantageous continuous number of times information reaches the advantageous upper limit number of times, the main control CPU 40a updates the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information. As a result, the advantageous production state ends. Further, when updating the normal effect state to the identifiable effect state information, the main control CPU 40a initializes the advantageous continuous number of times information.

Further, in the ending effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the ending effect is executed. In this embodiment, the ending effect corresponds to the privilege effect. Then, in the present embodiment, the execution of the ending effect is controlled by the sub-control CPU 41a, so that the function as the privilege effect control means for controlling the execution of the privilege effect is realized. Further, in the slot machine 10, when controlled to the ending effect state, the advantageous continuous number of times continues to be controlled to the ending effect state until the advantageous upper limit number is reached. Therefore, after the ending effect is executed, the advantageous continuous number of times is the advantageous upper limit number of times. It will continue to be controlled to the ending effect state until it reaches. That is, in the present embodiment, after the privilege production is executed, the control continues to be controlled to the specific state until the third end condition is satisfied.

Here, the control related to the notification of the operation information and the navigation effect in the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state will be collectively described.
In any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, when only the normal replay combination is allowed to win, the main control CPU 40a is the first. The payout display unit 37 displays the operation information for notifying the operation order of any of the push order to the sixth push order. Then, it can be specified from the winning command that only the normal re-game combination is allowed to win in any of the reverse effect state, the resurrection effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the navigation effect for notifying the operation order that can be specified from the operation mode command is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that one of the blue navigation effect and the white navigation effect is executed.

Further, in any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, when the promotion replay combination is allowed to win, the main control CPU 40a is promoted. The payout display unit 37 displays the operation information for notifying the operation order of the stop buttons for winning the re-game combination. Then, when the promotion replay combination is allowed to win in any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a operates. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the navigation effect that notifies the operation order that can be specified from the mode command is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that one of the blue navigation effect and the white navigation effect is executed.

Further, when the winning of the bell role is permitted in any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, the main control CPU 40a plays the bell role. The payout display unit 37 displays the operation information for notifying the operation order of the stop buttons for winning a prize. Then, in any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, when the winning of the bell role is permitted, the sub-control CPU 41a uses the operation mode command. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the navigation effect for notifying the operation order that can be specified from the above is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that one of the yellow navigation effect and the white navigation effect is executed.

Further, in any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted, the main control CPU 40a is normally used. The payout display unit 37 displays the operation information for notifying the operation order of the stop buttons for winning the re-game combination. Although there are a plurality of operation sequences of the stop buttons for winning the normal replaying combination when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the main control CPU 40a operates the stop button for winning the normal replaying combination. The payout display unit 37 displays the operation information for notifying the operation order of any one of them. Then, in any of the reverse effect state, the revival effect state, the victory effect state, the complete victory effect state, and the ending effect state, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted, the sub-control CPU 41a operates. The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the navigation effect that notifies the operation order that can be specified from the mode command is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the white navigation effect is executed.

Here, based on FIG. 24, the mode of the change of the specific value and the change of the special value will be described together with the period in which the update of the specific value is restricted.
At the timing t11 in the confrontation production state, when the normal re-game combination wins in three consecutive variable games and the value of "1 or more" is determined by the reduction lottery of the specific value, the specific value is specified. Decreases. When the specific value decreases at the timing t11, the change of the specific value is restricted. The period in which the change of the specific value is restricted from the timing t11 is the period until the special value changes at the timing t13 described later. Further, when the normal replay combination is won in three consecutive variable games at the timing t12 before the special value changes at the timing t13 after the change of the specific value is restricted at the timing t11, the specific value is set. The reduction lottery is not performed and the specific value does not change.

Further, at timing t13, when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games and the value of "1 or more" is determined by the special value reduction lottery, the special value decreases. do. When the special value changes due to the decrease of the special value, the change of the specific value restricted from the timing t11 is lifted. By the way, even if the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games at timing t13, if "0" is determined in the special value reduction lottery and the special value does not change, it is specified. The change in value continues to be restricted. For example, if the special value changes at the timing t14 described later, the change of the specific value will continue to be restricted until the timing t14.

Further, in the timing t14 after the special value is updated at the timing t13 and before the specific value is updated, if the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the special value reduction lottery is performed. Is done. When a value of "1 or more" is determined in this special value reduction lottery, the special value is reduced. In this way, after the special value is updated, the special value may be updated even if the specific value is not updated.

At the subsequent timing t15, when the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, a reduction lottery of a specific value is performed. If a value of "1 or more" is determined in this specific value reduction lottery, the specific value decreases and the update of the specific value is restricted, but if "0" is determined in the specific value reduction lottery, the specific value is restricted. Is not updated, and the update of a specific value is not restricted. Therefore, when the specific value is not updated at the timing t15, the normal re-game combination wins in the three consecutive variable games at the timing t16 before the special value is updated, and the specific value decreases. When a value of "1 or more" is determined by lottery, the specific value decreases. Then, at the timing t16, since the specific value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted again.

Next, based on FIGS. 25 (a) and 25 (b), the effect content of the pre-special change effect executed when the special update condition is satisfied and the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value will be described.
As shown in FIG. 25 (a), when the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0" when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, all reels are set. Until it is stopped, the effect before special change is executed on the effect display device 25 with the common effect content. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0" when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed, until all the reels are stopped. , The effect before special change is executed by the effect display device 25 with the common effect content. The timing at which all reels are stopped corresponds to the timing at which the stop of the remaining one reel is instructed.

However, after all the reels are stopped, the special value is updated when the bell role or the bell replay role wins in three consecutive variable games, and the special value reaches "0" and the cherry role. Or, at least a part of the production content of the pre-special change effect is different between the case where the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0" when the winning of the watermelon role is allowed. Specifically, if the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0" when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the first after all reels are stopped. The achievement-type pre-change effect is executed on the effect display device 15, and the effect content of the pre-special change effect is the effect content peculiar to the first achievement-type pre-change effect. On the other hand, if the special value is updated and the special value reaches "0" when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed, after all the reels are stopped, the second achievement type pre-change production is produced. It is executed by the display device 15, and the effect content of the pre-special change effect is the effect content peculiar to the second achievement type pre-special change effect.

Next, with reference to FIG. 26, the relationship between the number of stocks and the effect execution timing in which the ending effect is executed after shifting to the ending effect state will be described.
In the slot machine 10, when the number of times of stock is "3 times" in the confrontation effect state and the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 150 times, the ending It shifts to the effect state, and the ending effect is executed by the effect display device 15. However, in the slot machine 10, the number of stocks is "0 to 2 times" even if the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 150 times in the confrontation effect state. In that case, the ending effect is not executed without shifting to the ending effect state.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is "2 times" in the confrontation effect state, the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 100 times. , The ending effect state is entered, and the ending effect is executed by the effect display device 15. However, in the slot machine 10, even if the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 100 times in the confrontation effect state, the number of stocks is "0 times" or "1 time". In the case of ", the ending effect is not executed and the ending effect is not executed. By the way, in the confrontation production state, even if the number of stocks when the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 150 times is "2 times", the advantageous consecutive number of times is advantageous. It is assumed that the number of stocks increases and the number of stocks becomes "3 times" before the number of variable games until the upper limit is reached reaches 100 times. In this case, before the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit reaches 100 times, the game shifts to the ending effect state, and the ending effect is executed on the effect display device 15. ..

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is "1 time" in the confrontation effect state, the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 80 times. , The ending effect state is entered, and the ending effect is executed by the effect display device 15. However, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is "0" even if the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the upper limit of advantageous times reaches 80 times in the confrontation effect state. Does not shift to the ending effect state, and the ending effect is not executed. As described above, in the slot machine 10, for example, in the case where "1 time" is set as the first number and "3 times" is set as the second number out of one or more times, when the number of stocks is the first number. The effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed is a timing after the effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed when the number of stocks is the second number. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect execution timing when the number of stocks is 1 or more is the timing after the effect execution timing when the number of stocks is the second number more than the first number. Become.

Further, in the slot machine 10, when the number of stocks is "0 times" in the confrontation effect state, the number of variable games until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number reaches 50 times. , The ending effect state is entered, and the ending effect is executed by the effect display device 15. As described above, in the slot machine 10, the effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed when the number of stocks is 1 or more is higher than the effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed when the number of stocks is 0. It will be the previous timing. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect execution timing when the number of stocks is 1 or more is earlier than the effect execution timing when the number of stocks is zero.

As described above, the effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed before the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number differs depending on the number of stocks. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect execution timing at which the privilege effect is executed is different before the third end condition is satisfied, depending on the number of stocks.

The slot machine 10 of the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) "Confrontation effect when the end lottery held when the specific value updated by the satisfaction of the specific update condition reaches a predetermined value is won (when it is decided to end the specific state). By adopting a novel specification that "the state (specific state) ends", it is possible to improve the interest. Further, the content of the meter image Ga (content of the specific effect) is not a content indicating the number of variable games until the first end condition is satisfied by winning the end lottery, but is a content based on a specific value. Therefore, it is not possible to directly understand the number of variable games until the confrontation effect state ends from the meter image Ga. For this reason, it becomes difficult to specify how long the confrontation production state continues during the confrontation production state, and it is possible to give anxiety about the end of the confrontation production state, and the confrontation production state continues. It is possible to raise the degree of attention to and improve the interest. In addition, since the end lottery is performed when the specific value reaches the predetermined value, pay attention to what the lottery result of the end lottery will be even if the specific value reaches the predetermined value, and improve the interest. Can be done. Further, if the first end condition is not satisfied and the second end condition is satisfied, the confrontation effect state is temporarily terminated, but the confrontation effect state is controlled again. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to how the confrontation effect state ends (whether the second end condition is satisfied instead of the first end condition as the end condition), and it is possible to improve the interest.

Further, each of a plurality of confrontation effect states that can be controlled by satisfying the second end condition without satisfying the first end condition as the control is performed from a state different from the confrontation effect state to the confrontation effect state. The navigation rate of the bell replaying combination in the above (a mode related to the establishment of the specific update condition) is determined. Therefore, when the second end condition is satisfied and the control is performed again in the confrontation effect state, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role may change, which is more interesting than the case where the navigation rate of the bell replaying role does not change. In addition, it is possible to improve the interest while suppressing the boredom in the repeated confrontation production state. In addition, since the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is determined in the confrontation production state multiple times, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is determined each time the second end condition is satisfied and the confrontation production state is controlled again. Compared to the case where it is done, it can also contribute to the reduction of processing for determining the navigation rate of the bell replaying role.

(2) When controlled to the confrontation production state (specific state), the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in some of the confrontation production states from the next onward (the mode related to the establishment of the specific update condition) May be suggested. In this way, when the confrontation effect state is controlled, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the confrontation effect state that can be controlled from now on is suggested in advance, so that the second end condition is satisfied and the next and subsequent confrontations are established. It is possible to increase the motivation to be controlled by the production state, and it becomes easier to enjoy the change in the navigation rate of the bell replaying role, which makes it easier to improve the interest.

(3) The end lottery is won by determining the mode pattern in which the navigation rate (mode related to the establishment of the specific update condition) of the bell replaying role in each confrontation production state (specific state) of multiple times is determined. The navigation rate of the bell replaying combination in each of a plurality of confrontation production states that can be controlled by satisfying the second end condition without satisfying the first end condition is determined. Therefore, it is possible to infer the aspect pattern by inferring the change in the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination. As a result, when the second end condition is satisfied and the confrontation production state ends, the fun of guessing what the probability of the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the next confrontation production state will be is provided. It is possible to improve the interest.

(4) When the second end condition is satisfied and the confrontation effect state (specific state) is controlled again, the specific value is initialized and the specific value becomes a value different from the predetermined value. Therefore, for example, if the second end condition is satisfied when the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the specific value is initialized and the situation changes to a situation where the specific value has not reached the predetermined value. You can avoid a critical situation where you can win. Therefore, when the confrontation effect state is controlled again, the expectation that the second end condition is satisfied is effectively increased, and when the second end condition is satisfied and the confrontation effect state is controlled again, the confrontation effect state is controlled. It is possible to entertain a new confrontation production state again, and it is possible to effectively improve the interest.

(5) When the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted (when the lottery result of the combination lottery is the specific lottery result), the stop operation is performed in the push order (predetermined operation order) for winning the bell replaying combination. If the above can be performed, the second specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value can be updated so as to move away from the predetermined value. On the other hand, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, if the stop operation cannot be performed in the push order for winning the bell replaying combination, the first specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value is predetermined. Can be updated to approach the value. In such a configuration, if the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination (aspect relating to the establishment of the specific renewal condition) is different, the second specific renewal condition may be satisfied when the winning of the bell replaying combination is permitted. The probability that the operation order is notified is different. As a result, when the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination is different, the difficulty of the specific value approaching the predetermined value is different, and the difficulty of the specific value moving away from the predetermined value is also different, so that the specific value approaches the predetermined value. Not limited to this, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to whether the specific value moves away from the predetermined value.

(6) When the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value, it is controlled to the victory effect state (the privilege is given), and the second end condition is satisfied. For this reason, before the end lottery is won and the first end condition is satisfied, attention is paid to whether the special value reaches the privilege value, that is, whether the second end condition is satisfied, and the interest is improved. be able to. In this way, while paying attention to changes in specific values to improve the interest, we also pay attention to changes in special values that trigger the control of the winning production state (triggers for granting benefits) to improve the interest. , It is possible to effectively improve the interest.

(7) When the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the end lottery is performed, and there is a possibility that the confrontation effect state (specific state) ends and is controlled to the normal effect state. On the other hand, when the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value, it is controlled to the victory effect state (the privilege is given). Therefore, before the specific value reaches the predetermined value and wins the end lottery (before the end lottery determines the end of the specific state), the special value reaches the privilege value and the victory effect state. It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to whether it is controlled by.

Further, in the gaming machine configured in this way, if only the specific value regarding the end of the confrontation effect state changes, it is difficult for the player's interest to improve, and only the specific value among the specific value and the special value approaches the predetermined value. If it continues to change to, it may reduce the interest. Therefore, after the specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted until the special update condition is satisfied and the special value is updated. As a result, it is possible to suppress the one-sided change of only the specific value among the specific value and the special value, and it becomes easier to entertain the change of the special value regarding the granting of the privilege, thereby suppressing the deterioration of the interest. , It is possible to easily improve the interest by paying attention to the change of the specific value and the change of the special value.

(8) When the special value reaches the predetermined privilege value, the second end condition is satisfied and the confrontation production state (specific state) is configured to end, but the second special end condition is satisfied and the confrontation occurs. When the effect state ends, the confrontation effect state is controlled again after the confrontation effect state ends. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to whether the second end condition is satisfied instead of the first end condition as the end condition. Also, even if the second end condition is satisfied, it is controlled to the confrontation effect state again, so it is simply fun to be controlled to the victory effect state when the second end condition is satisfied (the privilege is given). You can do it, and you can improve your interest.

(9) Even if the specific value related to the end lottery is not updated, the special value related to the transition to the winning effect state (granting the privilege) may be continuously updated. Therefore, it is possible to expect the special value to be continuously updated and to improve the interest. Further, for example, it is possible to prevent the hobby from being lowered by creating a situation in which the player waits for the update of the specific value related to the end lottery, which is inconvenient for the player after the special value is updated.

(10) The content of the meter image Ga (content of the specific effect) does not indicate the number of variable games until the confrontation effect state (specific state) ends. Therefore, from the contents of the meter image Ga, it is not possible to directly understand the number of variable games until the confrontation effect state ends. For this reason, it becomes difficult to specify how long the confrontation production state continues during the confrontation production state, and it is possible to give anxiety about the end of the confrontation production state, and the confrontation production state continues. It is possible to raise the degree of attention to and improve the interest. In addition, since the end lottery is performed when the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the lottery for the end lottery is performed even if the specific value reaches the predetermined value while paying attention to whether the specific value reaches the predetermined value. You can pay attention to what the result will be and improve your interest.

On the other hand, since the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb (content of the special effect) is based on the special value, it is possible to estimate the special value from the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb. Therefore, in addition to the content of the meter image Ga, the content of the enemy soldier number image Gb can be focused on to improve the interest. Also, by displaying the enemy soldier number image Gb (special effect is executed), the special value changes compared to the case where the player cannot guess the special value only because the special value is managed internally. Since the player can experience the above, it is possible to effectively raise the attention regarding the change in the special value and improve the interest.

(11) When the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the end lottery is performed, and there is a possibility that the confrontation effect state (specific state) ends and is controlled to the normal effect state. On the other hand, when the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value, it is controlled to the victory effect state (the privilege is given). Therefore, before the specific value reaches the predetermined value and wins the end lottery (before the end lottery determines the end of the specific state), the special value reaches the privilege value and the victory effect state. It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to whether it is controlled by.

In addition, when the special value reaches the privilege value, when the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games (when the first special renewal condition is satisfied), the cherry role or the watermelon role When the prize is accepted (when the second special renewal condition is satisfied), at least a part of the production contents of the pre-special change effect (special effect) is different. As a result, depending on the production content of the pre-special change production, whether the special value has reached the privilege value due to the winning of the bell role or the bell replaying role in three consecutive variable games, the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role It is possible to determine whether the special value has reached the privilege value due to the allowance. For this reason, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the pre-special change production and improve the interest.

(12) The special value reaches the predetermined privilege value in either the case where the bell role or the bell re-playing role wins in three consecutive variable games, or the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win. Even if this is the case, the content of the pre-special change effect (special effect) until the last reel stops is the same. Therefore, it is possible to concentrate on the operation of the stop button (stop operation unit) until the last reel is stopped. In addition, after the last reel is stopped, a special value is given in either the case where the bell role or the bell replaying role is won in three consecutive variable games, or the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win. The content of the pre-special change production differs depending on whether or not the reel has reached the specified privilege value. For this reason, it is possible to pay attention to the production content of the pre-special change effect after all the stop button operations are completed. In this way, in consideration of the progress of the variable game, the production content of the special pre-change production is branched, so that it is possible to effectively improve the interest.

(13) In order for the bell role or the bell replaying role to win a prize in three consecutive variable games (the first special renewal condition is satisfied), the bell role or the bell replaying role is allowed to win in the combination lottery. In addition to (the lottery result of the winning combination lottery becomes the first special result), it is necessary to operate the stop buttons in the pressing order for winning the bell role or the bell replaying combination. On the other hand, in order to allow the winning of the cherry or watermelon role (establishment of the second special renewal condition), the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed in the role lottery (the lottery result of the role lottery is the second special). The result) is required, and the operation order of the stop buttons is not required. That is, in addition to the difference in the lottery result of the role lottery, there is a difference between the case where the bell role or the bell replaying role is won and the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to be won in three consecutive variable games. There is also a difference in the need for the operation order of the stop buttons. In this way, in the case where the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins and the special renewal condition is satisfied in three consecutive variable games, and the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win and the special renewal condition is satisfied. By increasing the difference between, and, it is possible to make a difference in the attention to the establishment of the special renewal condition, and to effectively improve the interest.

(14) "The confrontation effect state (specific state) ends when the end lottery performed when the specific value changed by the lottery reaches a predetermined value is won (when it is decided to end the specific state). By adopting a novel specification of "to do", it is possible to improve the interest. Further, when the number of times of transitioning to the winning effect state without shifting to the normal effect state (the number of times the second end condition is satisfied without satisfying the first end condition after being controlled to a specific state) reaches a predetermined number of times. Is controlled to the complete victory effect state (specific state) until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number (until the third end condition is satisfied). In this way, if the number of times the game has transitioned to the winning effect state without shifting to the normal effect state reaches a predetermined number, the end lottery is won and the specific state is specified until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number. Since the state continues, it is possible to pay attention to the number of times the state has changed to the winning production state without shifting to the normal production state, and to improve the interest.

(15) The number of times that the winning effect state is entered without shifting to the normal effect state (the number of times that the first end condition is satisfied without satisfying the first end condition after being controlled to the specific state) has reached the predetermined number of times. The display content of the subsequent effect display device 15 is different from the display content of the effect display device 15 before the number of transitions to the victory effect state without shifting to the normal effect state reaches a predetermined number of times. Therefore, the number of times the display content of the effect display device 15 (effect execution content of the effect execution means) has been changed to the victory effect state without shifting to the normal effect state has reached a predetermined number, that is, the advantageous continuous number of times is reached. It is possible to recognize that the control is continuously performed in the complete victory effect state (specific state) until the advantageous upper limit number is reached (until the third end condition is satisfied). Further, since the display content of the effect display device 15 changes when the number of times the process shifts to the victory effect state without shifting to the normal effect state reaches a predetermined number of times, the satisfaction of being able to experience the display content is satisfied. It can be given and the interest can be improved.

(16) "The confrontation effect state (specific state) ends when the end lottery performed when the specific value changed by the lottery reaches a predetermined value is won (when it is decided to end the specific state). By adopting a novel specification of "to do", it is possible to improve the interest. Further, when the number of transitions to the victory production state without shifting to the normal production state reaches a predetermined number of times, the "situation in which the first end condition and the second end condition become the end conditions of the specific state" to the "third end condition" Is switched to the situation where is the end condition of the specific state. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest by the novel specification that the end condition of the specific state is switched depending on the number of times the victory production state is shifted without shifting to the normal production state.

(17) The number of times the victory effect state is entered without shifting to the normal effect state (the number of times the second end condition is satisfied without the first end condition being satisfied after being controlled to a specific state) has reached a predetermined number of times. After that, even if the specific value reaches a predetermined value, the end lottery is not performed, and the establishment of the first end condition continues to be regulated. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the sense of crisis that the first end condition is satisfied, to enjoy the complete victory production state (specific state) with peace of mind, and to effectively improve the interest.

(18) "The confrontation effect state (specific state) ends when the end lottery performed when the specific value changed by the lottery reaches a predetermined value is won (when it is decided to end the specific state). By adopting a novel specification of "to do", it is possible to improve the interest. Furthermore, the production execution timing at which the ending effect as a privilege effect is executed is different depending on the number of stocks. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the number of stocks depending on the effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest by executing the ending effect, while paying attention to the effect execution timing at which the ending effect is executed.

(19) When the number of stocks is 1 or more, the ending effect (privilege effect) is executed at a timing before the number of stocks is 0 (zero). As a result, it is possible to infer that the number of stocks existed by executing the ending effect at an early timing, and the ending effect is executed at a relatively early timing due to the existence of the number of stocks. By doing so, it is possible to give the player a sense of satisfaction and improve the interest.

(20) When the number of stocks is the second number (for example, 2), the ending effect (privilege) is performed at a timing before the first number (for example, 1) when the number of stocks is less than the first number. Direction) is executed. As a result, it can be inferred that the number of stocks is the second number, which is larger than the first number, by executing the ending effect at an early timing. Further, since the number of stocks is the second number, which is larger than the first number, the ending effect is executed at a relatively early timing, so that the player can be satisfied and the interest can be improved.

(21) If the ending effect as the privilege effect is executed, the ending effect state (specific state) is continuously controlled until the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantageous upper limit number and the third end condition is satisfied. For this reason, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the execution of the ending effect, increase the joy of the execution of the ending effect, and effectively improve the interest.

(22) If the winning of the bell role is allowed, the special value may be updated. In addition, if only the normal replay combination is allowed to win, the specific value may be updated. For this reason, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to which of the bell role and the normal replaying role is allowed to win in the role lottery.

(23) When the yellow navigation effect is executed, it is possible to perform the stop operation after recognizing that the winning of the bell role is permitted, that is, the special value can be updated. In addition, when the blue navigation effect is executed, it is possible to perform the stop operation after recognizing that the winning of only the normal replaying combination is permitted, that is, the specific value can be updated. .. However, when the white navigation effect is executed, it is not possible to recognize which of the bell role and the normal replay combination is allowed to win. Therefore, when the white navigation effect is executed, it is given an opportunity to pay attention to whether the special value can be updated or the specific value can be updated to improve the interest. be able to. As described above, by configuring the yellow navigation effect, the blue navigation effect, and the white navigation effect so that they can be executed, while paying attention to which navigation effect is executed, each of them depends on the actually executed navigation effect. It is possible to provide a way to enjoy and improve the interest.

(24) If the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins, the special value may be updated. If the role of bell is won, three bell symbols will stop on the effective line YL. Further, when the bell replay combination is won, three bell symbols are stopped on any of the invalid lines ML1 to ML4. In this way, when the bell combination or the bell replay combination is won, a symbol combination in which the three bell symbols stop on a straight line is derived to the display window 12a. Therefore, when a symbol combination in which three bell symbols stop on a straight line is derived to the display window 12a, the special value can be updated. In addition, when the normal replaying combination wins, the specific value may be updated. Further, when the normal replay combination is won, a symbol combination in which the three replay symbols are stopped on the effective line YL is derived to the display window 12a. Therefore, when a symbol combination in which three replay symbols are stopped is derived to the display window 12a on the effective line YL, the specific value can be updated. Therefore, the symbol combination derived to the display window 12a is either "a symbol combination in which three bell symbols stop on a straight line" or "a symbol combination in which three replay symbols stop on the effective line YL". It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to this.

(25) When the specific value reaches a predetermined value, a reverse lottery may be performed and the state may shift to the reverse effect effect state. On the other hand, when the specific value does not reach a predetermined value, the reverse lottery is not performed and the transition to the reverse effect effect state is restricted. In this way, the specific value is related to the transition to the reverse effect effect state. Therefore, in addition to the end of the advantageous production state, it is also possible to pay attention to a specific value in relation to being controlled to the victory production state to improve the interest. Further, when the specific value reaches a predetermined value, that is, when the end lottery is performed, the reverse lottery is performed, so that even under the situation where the end lottery is performed, the winning effect state is controlled. You can have a sense of expectation that it will be done, and you can improve your interest.

(26) When controlled to the reverse rotation effect state, the specific value does not change. Therefore, by paying attention to the change of the specific value, it is possible to prevent the degree of attention to winning the reverse victory lottery from decreasing. Further, the special value does not change when controlled in the reverse direction effect state. Therefore, by paying attention to the change in the special value, it is possible to prevent the degree of attention to winning the reverse victory lottery from decreasing. Further, when the reverse rotation effect state is controlled, the end lottery is not performed. Therefore, in the reverse effect state, the anxiety about the end of the advantageous effect state can be reduced, and the game can be enjoyed.

(27) When the special value reaches the privilege value, it is controlled to the victory effect state. Further, when the reverse victory lottery is won, it is controlled to the victory effect state. In this way, the privilege given when the special value reaches the privilege value is the same as the privilege given when the reverse victory lottery is won. Therefore, as a route until the same privilege is given, there are "a route until the special value reaches the privilege value" and "a route until the reverse direction effect state is entered and the reverse victory lottery is won". In this way, by increasing the variation of the route until the privilege is given, it is possible to easily improve the interest.

(28) When the special value is far from the privilege value, it is easier to win the revival lottery than when the special value is close to the privilege value. For this reason, while paying attention to the fact that when the special value is close to the privilege value, it is controlled to the victory effect state, pay attention to whether or not the special value is far from the privilege value but wins the revival lottery. It is possible to improve the interest.

(29) Even if the end lottery is won when the number of stocks is 0, if the revival lottery is won, the advantageous effect state does not end and the revival effect state is controlled. Therefore, in a situation where the specific value has reached a predetermined value and the end lottery is performed, even if the end lottery is won, it can be expected to win the revival lottery. In addition, when controlled to the revival production state, it can be inferred that the revival lottery was won and the end of the advantageous production state could be avoided even though the end lottery was won, and it is possible to improve the interest. can.

(30) It is easier to win the reverse lottery in the revival production state than in the confrontation production state. Therefore, in the revival production state, the degree of attention to winning the reverse lottery can be increased and the interest can be improved as compared with the confrontation production state.

(31) When the revival effect state is controlled, the end lottery is not performed even when the specific value reaches a predetermined value. Therefore, in the revival effect state, the anxiety about the end of the advantageous effect state can be reduced, and the game can be enjoyed.

(32) When the first companion effect is executed, the specific subtraction process is not performed. Therefore, when the first companion effect is executed, there is no possibility that the specific value approaches a predetermined value by subtracting the specific value. Therefore, when the specific value does not reach the lower limit value, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the execution of the first companion production is decided, and to improve the interest. Further, when the first companion effect is executed, the specific addition process is not performed and the specific value does not change. Therefore, when the first companion production is executed, the degree of attention to the specific value can be lowered, the degree of attention to other productions can be increased, and the interest can be improved.

(33) When the third companion effect is executed, if the bell replaying combination is allowed to win, the bell replaying combination is more likely to win the prize than when the third companion effect is not executed. That is, when the third companion effect is executed, if the bell replaying role is allowed to win, the bell replaying role wins and the specific value increases compared to when the third companion effect is not executed. The rate of doing is high. As a result, when the third companion effect is executed, the specific value increases, and there is a high possibility that the specific value moves away from the predetermined value. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to whether or not the execution of the third companion production is decided.

(34) When the third companion production is executed, if the winning of the bell replaying role is allowed, the stop button for winning the bell replaying role is compared with the case where the third companion production is not executed. The operation order of is made easier to be notified. Then, by making it easy to notify the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell replaying combination, the bell replaying combination is configured to be easy to win. As a result, when it is decided to execute the third companion effect, the navigation effect that notifies the operation order for winning the normal re-game combination and the navigation effect that notifies the operation order for winning the bell re-game combination. It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to which of them will be implemented.

(35) When all kinds of fellow characters have appeared, it is possible to recognize that the winning effect is controlled, that is, the privilege is given. For this reason, it is possible to pay attention to whether all kinds of fellow characters appear and improve the interest.

(36) Subsequent advantages differ depending on the number and types of fellow characters appearing. Specifically, the number of variable games (advantage when a privilege is given) in the winning production state differs depending on the number and types of fellow characters appearing. For this reason, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to the number and types of fellow characters that appear.

(37) As the number of variable games played in the confrontation effect state increases, the advantageous period becomes longer, and when the variable game reaches the maximum number of confrontation stays, the victory effect state is controlled. For this reason, the greater the number of variable games played in the confrontation production state, the more joy that the advantageous period becomes longer, and in addition, the expectation and confrontation that the maximum number of confrontation stays will be approached. By reaching the maximum number of stays, you can give joy to being controlled to the victory production state and improve your interest. Also, even if it is in the confrontation production state, there is a risk of getting bored if the period controlled by the confrontation production state becomes long, but at least until the variable game played in the confrontation production state reaches the maximum number of confrontation stays, the victory production state. It can be expected to be controlled by, and it is possible to suppress boredom.

(38) When the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value, the number of variable games played in the confrontation effect state is controlled to the victory effect state as in the case where the maximum number of confrontation stays is reached (same privilege). Is granted). Therefore, in the confrontation production state, in contrast to being controlled to the victory production state, the variable game played in the confrontation production state reaches the maximum number of confrontation stays, and the special value reaches the privilege value. It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to.

(39) If the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the special value may change if the stop button is operated in the pressing order for winning the bell replaying combination (special update condition may be satisfied). ). On the other hand, if the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the specific value may change if the stop button is operated in the pressing order for winning the normal replaying combination (specific update conditions may be satisfied). .. For this reason, when the winning of the bell re-game combination is allowed, which of the bell re-game combination and the normal re-game combination is pressed in the order of pressing the stop button by the player himself / herself is the pressing order for winning the bell re-game combination. It is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to. In particular, the rate at which the special value changes differs depending on the navigation rate of the bell replaying role. For this reason, it is possible to pay attention to whether the push order notified in the navigation effect is the push order for winning the bell replaying role, and to improve the interest.

(40) When the specific subtraction process is performed, the specific value decreases and approaches a predetermined value, so that the specific value changes unfavorably. On the other hand, when the specific addition process is performed, the specific value increases and moves away from the predetermined value, so that the specific value changes advantageously. Then, when the bell winning combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the specific subtraction process may be performed while the specific addition process may be performed. That is, when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the specific subtraction process is not performed, so that the specific value does not change unfavorably, and the specific addition process is performed. In some cases, the specific value may change in an advantageous manner. For this reason, it is possible to pay attention to whether the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games, and to improve the interest.

(41) When the special subtraction process is performed, the special value decreases and approaches the privilege value, so that the special value changes advantageously. Then, when the bell combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the special subtraction process may be performed while the specific subtraction process is not performed. That is, when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the specific subtraction process is not performed, so that the specific value does not change unfavorably, and the special subtraction process is performed. In some cases, the special value may change in an advantageous manner. For this reason, it is possible to pay attention to whether the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games, and to improve the interest.

(42) When the specific addition process is performed, the specific value increases and moves away from the predetermined value, so that the specific value changes advantageously. Further, when the special subtraction process is performed, the special value decreases and approaches the privilege value, so that the special value changes advantageously. Then, when the bell combination or the bell replay combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the specific addition process and the special subtraction process may be performed. That is, when the bell role or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the specific addition process is performed and the specific value changes advantageously, and the special subtraction process is performed. There may be situations where the special value changes favorably. For this reason, it is possible to pay attention to whether the bell role or the bell replaying role wins in three consecutive variable games, and to improve the interest.

(43) An upper limit value is set for the specific value. In this way, since the upper limit value is set for the specific value, it is possible to set a target for increasing the specific value. Therefore, the player can pay attention to the increase of the specific value with the goal of reaching the upper limit value. Further, when the specific value has reached the upper limit value, the specific addition process is not performed even if the bell combination or the bell replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games. As a result, since the specific value does not exceed the upper limit value of the specific value, it is possible to prevent the player from having a feeling of expectation that the specific value exceeds the upper limit value.

The above-described embodiment may be changed to another embodiment as follows, for example.
-When controlled to the confrontation effect state (specific state), the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in some of the confrontation effect states from the next onward (the mode related to the establishment of the specific update condition) is notified. It may be configured to be. For example, an image in which the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination can be specified may be displayed in the first region Gd1 to the fifth area Gd5 so that the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination is notified. Even if the image displayed at this time is an image that directly shows the navigation rate of the bell replaying role (for example, an image containing 40% characters when the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is 40%). Alternatively, the image may be displayed for each navigation rate of the bell replaying combination (for example, when the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination is 40%, the image is displayed only when the navigation rate is 40%). Further, when controlled to the confrontation effect state, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in all the confrontation effect states of the next and subsequent confrontation effect states up to a predetermined number of times (15 times) is suggested or notified. You may. That is, when controlled to a specific state, the specific update condition is satisfied in all the specific states after the next controlled when the first end condition is not satisfied and the second end condition is satisfied. It may be configured so that such an embodiment may be suggested or notified.

-For each confrontation effect state, for example, by making the magnitude of the change amount of the special value when the special update condition is satisfied (that is, the mode of determining the special change value) different, the mode related to the establishment of the second end condition can be obtained. It may be different. Further, the mode for determining the special change value may be configured as defined in the mode pattern. It should be noted that the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination may not be different for each confrontation effect state, and the determination mode of the special change value may be different.

-By making the magnitude of the change amount of the specific value (that is, the mode of determining the specific change value) different for each confrontation effect state, for example, the mode related to the establishment of the first end condition can be obtained. It may be different. Further, the mode for determining the specific change value may be configured as defined in the mode pattern. It should be noted that the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination may not be different for each confrontation effect state, and the determination mode of the specific change value may be different.

-Every time the control of the confrontation effect state is started, the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination in the confrontation effect state may be determined. In such a configuration, the winning expected image GC suggesting or notifying the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination in the current confrontation effect state may be displayed on the effect display device 15. Further, the winning expected image GC suggesting or notifying the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination in a part or all of the confrontation effect state that has already ended may be displayed on the effect display device 15. As described above, when the navigation rate of the bell replaying combination is determined each time the confrontation effect state is controlled, the mode pattern may not be provided.

-Along with the end of the confrontation effect state, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role in the confrontation effect state may be notified. For example, the navigation rate of the bell replaying role is suggested by the winning expected image GC until the confrontation production state ends, while the actual navigation rate of the bell replaying role is notified when the confrontation production state ends. (For example, an image containing the characters "40%" may be displayed).

-When initializing a specific value, the value set as the initial value of the specific value is configured to be determined by lottery, for example, when the same value as the predetermined value is set as the initial value of the specific value. There may be. Further, when the second end condition is satisfied in the confrontation effect state and the state shifts to the victory effect state and then the confrontation effect state is controlled again, the specific value is not initialized and the specific value is maintained. You may. That is, when the second end condition is satisfied and the specific state is controlled again, the specific value may not be initialized. Further, when the specific value is configured not to be initialized, the specific value may increase (the specific value moves away from the predetermined value) in the winning effect state.

-When restricting the update of a specific value after the specific value is updated until the special value is updated, the rate at which the specific value is updated should be lower than before the restriction on the update of the specific value. May be configured to limit the update of specific values. That is, after the specific value is updated, until the special value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted by making it more difficult to update the specific value than before the specific value is updated. It may be configured. In addition, in order to reduce the ratio of updating the specific value, for example, it can be realized by increasing the ratio of determining "0" in the decrease lottery of the specific value or the increase lottery of the specific value.

-After the specific value is updated, until the special value is updated, by increasing the rate at which the special value is updated, the specific value is updated out of the ratio between the special value update rate and the specific value update rate. By lowering the ratio of the ratio, the update of a specific value may be restricted. In addition, in order to increase the rate at which the special value is updated, for example, it can be realized by lowering the rate at which "0" is determined in the special value reduction lottery.

-The change of the special value may be restricted after the change of the special value until the specific value changes. That is, after the special update condition is satisfied and the special value is updated, the update of the specific value is restricted (or regulated) until the specific update condition is satisfied and the specific value is updated. You may. In the above embodiment, since the specific value and the special value are updated alternately, the attention to the specific value and the special value can be alternately changed to improve the interest. ..

-After the specific value is updated, the specific value may be configured to be updated even if the special value is not updated. That is, it is not necessary to configure the update of the specific value to be restricted (or regulated) after the specific value is updated.

-In the above embodiment, the update of the specific value is restricted after the specific value is updated in either the case where the specific value is updated to decrease or the case where the specific value is updated to increase. It was configured to. However, for example, only when the specific value is updated to decrease, the decrease of the specific value may be limited until the special value is updated. Further, for example, the increase of the specific value may be restricted only when the specific value is updated so as to increase, and then until the special value is updated. In addition, for example, the decrease of the specific value may be restricted only when the specific value is updated so as to increase, and then until the special value is updated.

-When the special value reaches the privilege value, before the special change in the case where the bell role or the bell replay role is won in three consecutive variable games and the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win. The production contents of the production may be the same. That is, the effect content of the special effect executed when the special value is updated when the first special update condition is satisfied and the special value reaches the privilege value is the special value when the second special update condition is satisfied. May be the same as the effect content of the special effect executed when is updated and the special value reaches the privilege value.

-When the special value reaches the privilege value, there is only one remaining in the case where the bell role or the bell re-playing role wins in three consecutive variable games and the case where the cherry role or the watermelon role wins. The production content of the pre-special change effect may be different from before the reel stops. For example, in two consecutive variable games, when the bell role or the bell replaying role is won, the bell role or the bell replaying role is allowed to win, and the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed to win. The common production content of the pre-special change effect may be different from that of the case.

-When controlled to the complete winning effect state, the complete winning effect state may end before the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the advantageous upper limit number, and the state may shift to the normal effect state, for example. For example, in the complete win effect state, an internal lottery for determining the end of the complete win effect state is configured to be performed, and when the end of the complete win effect state is determined in the internal lottery, the complete win effect state is configured to end. You may. That is, when the number of times the second end condition is satisfied reaches a predetermined number of times without the first end condition being satisfied after being controlled to the specific state, the specific state ends before the third end condition is satisfied. There may be cases.

-It is not necessary to controlably configure the winning effect state. For example, until the number of advantageous consecutive times reaches the upper limit of the advantageous number, it is configured to be controlled to the confrontation effect state after the end of the victory effect state, and the confrontation effect is produced. It may be configured so that the state and the victory effect state are repeated.

-When controlled to the ending effect state, the ending effect state may end before the advantageous continuous number of times reaches the advantage upper limit number, and the state may shift to the normal effect state, for example. For example, in the ending effect state, an internal lottery for determining the end of the ending effect state is configured to be performed, and when the end of the ending effect state is determined in the internal lottery, the ending effect state is configured to end. You may. That is, after the privilege effect (ending effect) is executed, the specific state may end before the third end condition is satisfied.

-It is not necessary to configure the stock count to be receivable. For example, if the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is not won, the stock may be configured to be controlled to the normal production state.
-If the number of stocks is 1 or more when the end lottery is won, the number of stocks may be reduced by 1 so that the end lottery is performed again. Then, the end lottery may be repeated until the number of stocks becomes 0, and the end lottery may be repeated until the end lottery is not won. In this configuration, the number of stocks can be said to be the number of times the first termination condition is satisfied (or not satisfied).

-It is configured so that the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied according to the number of stocks, but for example, the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied according to the number of times controlled to the victory effect state. May be good. For example, even if the number of times controlled to the winning effect state is increased, the timing at which the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied, that is, the effect execution timing at which the ending effect (privilege effect) is executed is set to be earlier. good.

-Only when the number of stocks is 1 or more, it may be configured to be controlled to the ending effect state and the ending effect as a privilege effect is executed. In this case, since the ending effect is not executed unless the number of stocks at the timing when the transition condition to the ending effect state can be satisfied is 1 or more, the rarity of the ending effect itself can be increased, and the joy of executing the ending effect can be enhanced. Can be increased.

-If the number of stocks is 1 or more, the condition for transition to the ending effect state may be satisfied regardless of which of the number of stocks is 1 or more. That is, it may be configured so that the transition condition to the ending effect state is satisfied depending on the presence or absence of the number of stocks (the number of stocks is either "0" or "1 or more").

-Even if the specific value does not reach a predetermined value ("1" in the above embodiment), the end lottery may be configured to be performed. At this time, the closer the specific value is to the predetermined value, the easier it may be to win the end lottery. In such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest by the novel specification that "the closer the specific value is to the predetermined value, the easier it is to win the end lottery". In addition, the end lottery may be more likely to be performed when the specific value is closer to the predetermined value. In such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest by the novel specification that "the closer the specific value is to the predetermined value, the easier it is for the end lottery to be performed".

-It may be configured to perform a companion production lottery according to the lottery result of the role lottery. In addition, the type of companion production may be determined according to the lottery result of the role lottery. For example, when the third companion information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the third companion effect is configured to be executed when the bell replaying combination is allowed to win, while the bell replaying combination is allowed to win. If it is not done, the third companion effect may not be executed.

-The winning probability of the reverse victory lottery may be different depending on the lottery result of the role lottery in the reverse direction effect state. For example, when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed in the reverse effect state, the winning probability of the reverse victory lottery is higher than when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is not allowed in the reverse effect state. It may be configured to be high. In addition, the probability of winning the reverse victory lottery may be increased as the number of times the cherry or watermelon role is allowed to be won in the reverse direction effect state.

-The winning probability of the reverse victory lottery may be different depending on the special value. For example, when the special value is the first value, the probability of winning the reverse victory lottery is higher than when the special value is the second value lower than the first value. May be. In addition, when the special value is the second value, the winning probability of the reverse victory lottery is higher than when the special value is the first value higher than the second value. May be.

-Not only in the confrontation effect state, but also in the reverse effect effect state, the revival effect state, and the victory effect state, for example, the companion effect may be executed. For example, when the third companion effect is executed in the reverse direction effect state, the bell replay game is allowed when the winning of the bell replay game is allowed as compared with the case where the third companion effect is not executed in the reverse direction effect state. It may be configured so that the ratio of notifying the operation order of the stop buttons for winning a winning combination is high.

-The winning probability of the reverse lottery may be different depending on the lottery result of the role lottery in the revival production state. For example, when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is allowed in the resurrection production state, the winning probability of the reverse lottery is higher than when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is not allowed in the resurrection production state. It may be configured to be. In addition, the probability of winning the reverse lottery may be increased as the number of times the cherry or watermelon role is allowed to be won in the resurrection effect state.

-The winning probability of the reverse lottery may be different depending on the special value. For example, when the special value is the first value, the probability of winning the reverse lottery is higher than when the special value is the second value lower than the first value. May be good. In addition, when the special value is the second value, the probability of winning the reverse lottery is higher than when the special value is the first value higher than the second value. May be good. Further, the winning probability of the reverse lottery when controlled to the confrontation effect state or the revival effect state may be different according to the special value.

-Even if the specific value does not reach a predetermined value, the reverse lottery may be performed. For example, in the confrontation effect state, when the specific value is the first value, it is more difficult to win the reverse lottery than when the specific value is the second value closer to the predetermined value than the first value. It may be configured. Further, while the reverse lottery is configured to be performed even when the specific value does not reach the predetermined value, even if the reverse lottery is won when the specific value does not reach the predetermined value, the reverse effect is produced. It may be configured to be controlled not by the state but by the confrontation effect state. That is, when the specific value does not reach a predetermined value, even if the reverse lottery is won, the control to the reverse direction effect state may be restricted.

-It may be configured so that the revival lottery is performed before the end lottery. For example, if the revival lottery is not won, the end lottery may be performed. In the case of such a configuration, if the revival lottery is won, it is preferable to shift to the revival production state. In addition, if the revival lottery is not won and the end lottery is not won, it is advisable to continue the confrontation production state. Further, if the revival lottery is not won and the end lottery is won, the advantageous production state may be terminated. If the number of stocks is 1 or more, the revival lottery may not be won, and even if the end lottery is won, the revival effect state may be entered.

-In the "winning number where winning of the normal re-game combination and the bell re-game combination is allowed", multiple push orders from the 1st push order to the 6th push order are used to win the bell re-game combination. It may be determined as. For example, in the "winning number in which the normal re-game combination and the bell re-game combination are allowed to win", the 5th push order and the 6th push order are "push order for winning the bell re-game combination", the first push. The order to the fourth push order may be defined as "push order for winning a normal replaying combination". In this case, since the 5th push order and the 6th push order are the operation order in which the right stop button 21c is operated first among the stop buttons 21a to 21c, "the winning of the normal replay combination and the bell replay combination is won. It can also be considered that the "permissible winning number" defines the stop button to be operated first among the plurality of stop buttons in order to win the bell replaying combination. As described above, when the winning of the bell replaying combination is allowed, the bell replaying stop eye is derived when a predetermined stop button is operated first among the plurality of stop buttons, while the plurality of stop buttons are displayed. Of these, when a stop button different from the predetermined stop button is operated for the first time, the normal re-game stop may be derived.

-It may be configured so that a fellow character different from the first fellow character to the third fellow character in the above embodiment appears. For example, when a predetermined companion effect is executed, the specific value may be configured to increase without decreasing even if the normal replaying combination wins a prize. That is, when a predetermined companion production is executed, the decrease of the specific value is restricted (or regulated) regardless of the lottery result of the combination lottery or the winning combination, and the specific value is configured to increase. May be good. In addition, when a predetermined companion effect is executed, the special value may be reduced even if the normal replaying combination wins a prize. That is, when a predetermined companion effect is executed, the special value may be reduced regardless of the lottery result of the winning combination lottery or the winning combination.

-The end lottery in the above embodiment may be configured to also serve as a revival lottery. For example, in the end lottery, the lottery result corresponding to the lottery result when the end lottery is not won in the above embodiment and the lottery result corresponding to the lottery result when the end lottery and the revival lottery are won in the above embodiment. And, in the above-described embodiment, the lottery result corresponding to the lottery result when the end lottery is won and the revival lottery is not won may be derived.

-It may be configured so that a plurality of fellow characters can appear in one fellow appearance production. In this way, when a plurality of fellow characters appear in one fellow appearance production, the plurality of fellow information is newly stored in the main control RAM 40c when the fellow appearance lottery is won. In addition, it may be configured so that all kinds of fellow characters can appear in one fellow production. In this way, when all kinds of fellow characters appear in one fellow appearance production, all the fellow characters will be newly stored in the main control RAM 40c when the fellow appearance lottery is won. Become. In the case of the above configuration, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention not only to the types of fellow characters appearing in the fellow appearance production but also to the number of fellow characters appearing.

-You may change the period of stay in the reverse effect state. The period of staying in the reverse effect state does not have to be determined by the number of variable games. For example, a continuous lottery in the reverse direction effect state may be performed when the variable game is played in the reverse direction effect state, and the game may be configured to stay in the reverse direction effect state until the continuous lottery is not won. That is, it may be configured to stay in the reverse effect effect state until the end of the reverse effect effect state is determined in the internal lottery. In addition, the number of times that the lottery result of the winning combination lottery becomes a predetermined lottery result or the number of times that the predetermined winning combination is won may be configured to stay in the reverse effect effect state until the predetermined number of times is reached. For example, it may be configured to stay in the reverse effect effect state until the number of times the replaying combination has won a prize reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, three times).

-You may change the period of stay in the revival production state. The period of stay in the revival production state does not have to be determined by the number of variable games. For example, a continuous lottery in the revival effect state may be performed when the variable game is played in the revival effect state, and the game may be configured to stay in the revival effect state until the continuous lottery is not won. That is, it may be configured to stay in the revival effect state until the end of the revival effect state is determined in the internal lottery. In addition, the number of times that the lottery result of the winning combination lottery becomes a predetermined lottery result or the number of times that the predetermined winning combination is won may be configured to stay in the revival effect state until the predetermined number of times is reached. For example, it may be configured to stay in the revival effect state until the number of times that the normal re-game combination has won a prize reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, three times).

-The winning probability of the companion production lottery may be different depending on the lottery result of the role lottery. In addition, the winning probability of the companion production lottery may be different depending on the number of variable games played in the confrontation production state. If the number of variable games played in the confrontation effect state reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) and no fellow character appears, the fellow character may be configured to be executed without fail.

-When the companion effect information that can specify the first companion effect is stored in the main control RAM 40c, it may be configured so that the specific value reduction lottery is performed but the specific subtraction process is not performed. Similarly, when the companion effect information that can specify the first companion effect is stored in the main control RAM 40c, it may be configured so that the specific value increase lottery is performed but the specific addition process is not performed.

-It may be configured so that information that can specify the first consecutive number of times information (that is, the continuous number of times of the variable game in which the normal replaying combination has won) is notified. Similarly, information that can specify the second consecutive number of times information (that is, the continuous number of times of the variable game in which the bell combination or the bell replaying combination has won) may be notified. For example, the effect display device 15 may be configured to display an image showing the number of times that can be specified from the first continuous number of times information, and the first continuous number of times information may be configured to be notified of the identifiable information.

-As the subtraction value (specific subtraction value) that decreases from the specific value, "0" or "1" may be determined. Further, as the addition value (specific addition value) to be added to the specific value, "0" or "1" may be determined. Similarly, as the subtraction value (special subtraction value) to be subtracted from the special value, "0" or "1" may be determined.

-When the push order for winning the normal re-game combination in the three consecutive variable games is notified of the "when the normal re-game combination is won in the three consecutive variable games". May be. Similarly, in order to make the "bell role or bell replaying combination win in three consecutive variable games" in the above embodiment, the bell role or bell replaying combination win in three consecutive variable games. When the pressing order of is notified. " In addition, "when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role is allowed" in the above embodiment may be "when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role".

-The number of enemy soldiers The special value does not have to be the same as the number of enemy soldiers shown in the image Gb. For example, a value calculated using a special value (for example, a value obtained by doubling the special value) may be used as the number of ally soldiers shown in the enemy soldier number image Gb. Further, the number of enemy soldiers shown in the enemy soldier number image Gb does not have to be indicated by a numerical value, and may be, for example, the number of enemy soldiers indicated by a meter, a gauge, or the like.

-The privilege given when the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value does not have to be controlled by the victory effect state. For example, as a privilege given when the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value, a premier effect may be executed. Further, the privilege given when the reverse victory lottery is won and the privilege given when the special value reaches a predetermined privilege value may be different.

-The end condition of the victory production state does not have to be determined by the number of variable games. For example, the winning effect state may be terminated when the number of times a predetermined combination (for example, a bell combination) has won a prize reaches a predetermined number of times. Then, the winning effect state may be a so-called pseudo-bonus state.

-The special value may be configured to increase or decrease. That is, the special value may increase or decrease or change. For example, when the special value is configured to increase, if the special value increases, the special value increases because the special value moves away from "0" corresponding to the privilege value and the transition to the victory effect state is far away. Doing is equivalent to changing the special value to a disadvantageous value. Further, by configuring the main control CPU 40a to perform the process of determining the increase amount of the special value (addition value to be added to the special value), the special addition to determine the addition value (special addition value) to be added to the special value. The function as a value determination means is realized. For example, if the normal replaying combination wins in three consecutive variable games, the special value may be increased.

-In the above embodiment, a decrease in the specific value corresponds to a disadvantageous change in the specific value because the specific value approaches a predetermined value. On the other hand, in the above embodiment, an increase in the specific value corresponds to an advantageous change in the specific value because the specific value moves away from the predetermined value. Further, in the above embodiment, a decrease in the special value corresponds to an advantageous change in the special value because the special value approaches a predetermined privilege value.

-The smaller the specific value, the higher the advantage, and the larger the specific value, the lower the advantage. For example, in the above embodiment, when the increase amount of the specific value is determined, the decrease amount of the specific value is determined, and when the decrease amount of the specific value is determined in the above embodiment, the increase amount of the specific value is determined. It may be configured to do so. Then, the specific value may be configured to reach a predetermined value only when the added value is added to the specific value. For example, a predetermined value may be set as an upper limit value of a value that the specific value can take, and the advantage may be higher as the specific value is smaller than the predetermined value.

-The smaller the special value, the higher the advantage, and the larger the special value, the lower the advantage. For example, in the above embodiment, where the amount of decrease in the special value is determined, the amount of increase in the special value may be determined. Then, the special value may be configured to reach a predetermined privilege value only when the added value is added to the special value. For example, the privilege value may be set to "100,000", and the advantage may be higher as the special value is closer to the privilege value.

-The content of the specific effect may be a content indicating the number of variable games until the confrontation effect state ends (for example, the number of variable games until the first end condition is satisfied). For example, it is assumed that after the specific value changes from "a value other than 1" to "1", the confrontation effect state is continued until an average of 15 variable games are executed. In this case, when the specific value changes from "value other than 1" to "1", the content of the meter image Ga is until the confrontation effect state (specific state) ends (until the first end condition is satisfied). The content may be configured to indicate that the number of variable games is "15 times".

-Even in the normal effect state, the navigation effect may be executed. Further, even in the normal effect state, the navigation effect may be executed with advantageous contents. Even in the case of such a configuration, when the advantageous effect state is set, the ratio of the navigation effect being executed with advantageous contents is higher than that in the normal effect state, and the advantageous effect state is the normal effect. It may be configured to be more advantageous than the state.

-While staying in the normal production state, even if it is decided to allow the transition to the advantageous production state and the promoted re-game combination wins, it will be controlled to the normal production state. It may be configured. That is, after it is determined that the transition to the advantageous effect state is allowed, the transition to the effect state other than the normal effect state may be restricted until the transition to the preparatory effect state is performed.

-If you win the advantageous permissible lottery, that is, if you decide to allow the transition to the advantageous state, for example, the end of the variable game that won the advantageous permissible lottery without determining the number of precursors, or the advantageous permissible lottery It may be configured to shift from the normal effect state to the preparatory effect state with the start of the next variable game of the variable game won in.

-The number of valid lines may be multiple. For example, a part or all of the invalid lines ML1 to ML4 in the above embodiment may be used as effective lines. For example, the effective line YL in the above embodiment may not be an effective line, and the invalid lines ML3 and ML4 in the above embodiment may be an effective line. When the number of valid lines is a plurality, it is preferable to configure the prize so that the prize is given when the symbol combination in which the prize is determined is derived on one of the plurality of valid lines. Further, when a symbol combination having a prize defined on a plurality of valid lines is derived, the prize specified may be given to each of the derived symbol combinations, or the derived symbol combination may be given. One of the prizes specified in the symbol combination may be awarded.

-In the above embodiment, even if the main control CPU 40a is configured to store a winning command in the output buffer that can identify that the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order. good. In this case, the winning command corresponds to the control information that can specify the lottery result of the winning combination lottery including the loss.

-In the above embodiment, even if the value of the random number for the winning combination is not assigned to the winning number that allows the winning of the symbol combination for which the prize is determined, the lottery is not limited to the loss, for example, an advantageous permissible lottery is performed. It can also be configured so that a symbol combination (so-called chance eye) having the advantages of the above can be derived.

-The above embodiment may be applied to a gaming machine that can give a penalty that causes a disadvantage to the player. The penalty may be given to one variable game or a plurality of variable games.
