Description

The present invention includes a variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each.
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine capable of deriving a display result by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after variable display of the variable display unit and generating a prize according to the display result.

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

There are various types of roles such as small roles, special roles, and replay roles. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small winning combination is derived on the winning line, the number of medals determined for each type of small winning combination is paid out. If the display result corresponding to the special role is derived on the winning line,
The game state can be controlled to a special game state that is advantageous to the player, such as a regular bonus or a big bonus. In addition, it is possible to control a state such as AT (Assist Time) in which an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified and navigation is performed. When the display result corresponding to the re-game combination is derived on the winning line, the next game can be played without consuming a new medal for setting the bet number.

As such a slot machine, there is a machine that simultaneously performs an effect of suggesting the winning of a replaying combination and the winning of a big bonus and a small winning combination that can be duplicated (for example, Patent Document 1).
..

A plurality of determination results that can be determined by the predetermining means in each of the first region (for example, the region on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51) and the second region (for example, the region on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51). After performing the corresponding display corresponding to any one of them (for example, the blue corresponding display (display of the blue corresponding image 81a) and the purple corresponding display (display of the purple corresponding image 81b)), the corresponding display in the first region is performed. By selecting one of the corresponding displays in the second region, a specific effect (for example, a winning suggestion effect) suggesting the determination result of the prior determination means is executed (for example, shown in FIG. 5). As described above, in the first area, the blue corresponding display corresponding to the normal replay winning is performed, and in the second area, the purple corresponding display corresponding to the rare role (watermelon, chance replay) winning is performed, and then the blue corresponding display and the purple corresponding display are displayed. It is equipped with a specific effect executing means (for example, a winning suggestion effect executed by the sub control unit 91) that suggests a winning result by selecting one of the above.
The determination result of the prior determination means includes a predetermined determination result (for example, a normal replay winning) and a specific determination result (for example, a rare role (watermelon, chance replay) winning).
The correspondence display includes a predetermined correspondence display corresponding to the predetermined determination result (for example, a blue correspondence display corresponding to a normal replay winning) and a specific correspondence display corresponding to the specific determination result (for example, purple corresponding to a rare combination). Correspondence display) and a special decision result that allows the derivation of the advantage suggestion display result suggesting that it is advantageous to the player.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the special determination result, the specific effect is not executed by the specific effect executing means, and the specific effect is not executed.
The specific effect executing means is
The predetermined correspondence display is performed in different modes depending on whether the predetermined correspondence display is performed in the first region and the predetermined correspondence display is performed in the second region (for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the first When the blue-corresponding display is performed in one area, the blue-corresponding image 81a having a round shape is displayed (FIG. 7A), whereas when the blue-corresponding display is performed in the second area, the blue-corresponding square shape is displayed. Since the image 81c is displayed (FIG. 7 (b)), the blue corresponding display is performed in different modes from each other).
The specific correspondence display is performed in the same or substantially the same manner in the case where the specific correspondence display is performed in the first region and the case where the specific correspondence display is performed in the second region (for example, as shown in FIG. 7). In both the case where the purple color correspondence display is performed in the first region (FIG. 7 (a)) and the case where the purple color correspondence display is performed in the second region (FIG. 7 (b)), the shape is star-shaped. Since the purple-corresponding image 81b is displayed, the purple-corresponding display is performed in the same manner).

An embodiment for implementing a slot machine as a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.

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

As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 for displaying an image. A perspective window is formed below the liquid crystal display 51. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R arranged side by side inside the slot machine 1 through the see-through window.
On each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, symbols, which are a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each, are arranged in a predetermined order. Below the perspective window, there is a start switch 7 that is operated when starting a game (game), and stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that are operated to stop the rotation of each reel and derive the display result. And are provided.

As shown in FIG. 1B, a main control unit 41 is provided inside the slot machine 1 to control the progress of the game and output various commands according to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects an operation on the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and controls the progress of the game according to the detected operation.

Inside the slot machine 1, a sub control unit 91 that controls the effect in response to a command from the main control unit 41 is provided. The sub control unit 91 includes a sub CPU 91a that performs various controls related to the effect, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to the effect. The sub control unit 91 controls the display of the image on the liquid crystal display 51 based on the command from the main control unit 41. The effect data used for displaying the image of the liquid crystal display 51 is stored in the RAM 91c.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into a medal insertion unit (not shown) or operates a BET switch (not shown) to set a predetermined number of bets. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. The winning line is the reel 2 displayed on the perspective window.
This is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols in L, 2C, and 2R matches the combination of winning symbols.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2
R rotates. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 41. The internal lottery is
This is a process for determining a symbol combination (display result) that allows derivation. The fact that the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery is also said to have won the role corresponding to the symbol combination. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. When the rotation of the reel is stopped, three symbols are derived and displayed as display results in the upper, middle and lower stages of the perspective window. The main control unit 41 has a display result that allows derivation and a display result.
The timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R and the stop switches 8L, 8
Reel control for stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is performed based on the order in which the C and 8R are operated.

When the combination of winning symbols stops on the winning line LN and a winning occurs, the main control unit 41 executes a process according to the winning. The process according to the winning includes, for example, the process of granting a privilege. Here, in the slot machine 1, since it is necessary to set a predetermined number of bets in order to execute one game, a medal which is a game value is consumed every time one game is played. Benefits include granting game value and the right to play the game without consuming the game value (replay).

Of the operations for the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for stopping the rotation of the reels, the operation for stopping the rotation of the first reel is the first stop operation and the operation for stopping the rotation of the second reel. The operation for stopping the rotation of the third reel is also referred to as a second stop operation.

Next, the stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described. The main control unit 41 drives and controls the reel motor based on the detection signal from the reel sensor to start the rotation of the reel, and when the reel is stopped and the reel still rotating remains. A stop control table is created for each spinning reel with reference to the winning number, the table index stored in the ROM 41b, and the table creation data. Then, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to, and the referred stop control table slips. Reel 2 corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R based on the number of frames
Control is performed to stop the rotation of L, 2C, and 2R.

In the present embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is set as the number of sliding frames, and it is possible to pull in a maximum of 4 symbols to stop the reel after detecting the stop operation. That is, the stop position of the symbol can be specified from a range of up to 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. Also, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol,
After detecting the stop operation, it is possible to pull in up to 4 symbols to stop the reel.
It is possible to specify the stop position of a symbol from a range of up to 5 symbols including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected.

In the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed, if the winning combinations can be aligned and stopped in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, the control is performed to align and stop the winning combination. , The winning combination will be controlled to stop without aligning within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames.

[Winner]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and the value given at the time of winning. In the name column of FIG. 2, the name of the winning combination is shown, and in the symbol combination column, the combination of symbols for which the winning combination is a winning combination is shown. In the operation column, the value given at the time of winning (medal payout, replay grant) and the like are shown.

Winners include BB, Bell, Watermelon 1-3, Normal Replay, Chance Replay 1-3, and Reach Eye Replay.

BB is a winning role with a transition to the advantageous state of bonus. The symbol combination of "BB" is "black 7-black 7-black 7". In the operation column of BB, the end condition of the bonus transferred by winning is shown. Each bonus ends when a predetermined number of medals or more are paid out. For example, a bonus controlled by winning or winning a BB ends in a game in which the number of medals paid out during the bonus is 351 or more.

The symbol combination of "bell" is "bell-bell-bell". When the bell wins, three bell symbols are drawn out on the winning line LN, and eight medals are awarded. Further, regarding the symbol arrangement of each reel, the bell symbol is always arranged within 5 frames in all reels. In each reel, the range that can be pulled in within a predetermined time is within 5 frames, so when the bell is won, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are stopped and operated in any operation mode (pushing order and operation timing). However, it is designed to win a bell without fail (no omissions).

The symbol combination of "normal replay" is "replay-replay-replay". When a normal replay wins a prize, three replay symbols are derived in a row on the winning line LN, and a replay is given. Also, like the bell, the replay symbol is always arranged within 5 frames on all reels. Therefore, in any operation mode, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R
Even if the stop operation is performed, the normal replay prize is always won.

On the other hand, for watermelons (watermelons 1 to 3), it is a winning combination that may be missed depending on the reel stop operation timing (pushing timing). When the watermelon wins,
Five medals will be awarded. In addition, when the winning symbol combination of watermelon is derived, three "watermelons" are aligned on the lower line, which is an invalid line.

The symbol combinations of "Watermelon 1" are "Bell-Bell-Black 7" and "Replay-Replay-Black 7". When the watermelon 1 wins a prize by operating the right reel in the third stop operation, two bell symbols or replay symbols are aligned on the winning line LN at the time of the second stop operation. Therefore, the player can perform the bell, the normal replay, and the watermelon 1 until the third stop operation of the right reel is performed.
It is not possible to know which of the winning roles has been won.

Also, as mentioned above, on the left and middle reels, the bell or replay symbol is 5
Since they are always placed within the frame, in the above stop order, two bell symbols or replay symbols will always be listened to on the winning line LN. However, the black 7 symbols are not arranged within 5 frames on all reels. Therefore, when the watermelon 1 is won and the right reel is stopped thirdly, the watermelon 1 does not win unless the stop operation (pressing) is performed at the timing when the black 7 symbol can be pulled in. That is, in order to win the watermelon 1, it is necessary to push the right reel.

The symbol combinations of "Watermelon 2" are "Bell-Black 7-Bell" and "Replay-Black 7-Replay". When the watermelon 2 wins a prize by performing the third stop operation on the middle reel, two bell symbols or replay symbols are listened to on the winning line LN at the time of the second stop operation. Therefore, the player can use the bell, the normal replay, and the watermelon 2 until the third stop operation of the middle reel is performed.
It is not possible to know which of the winning roles has been won. Further, when the watermelon 2 is won and the middle reel is stopped at the third stop, it is necessary to press the black 7 symbol as described above.

The same applies to "Watermelon 3", and if Watermelon 3 is won, the left reel is set to the third.
When the stop operation is performed, it is necessary to press the black 7 symbol.

Chance replays (chance replays 1 to 3) are prize-winning roles that are not missed, just like bells and regular replays. The white BAR or black BAR that make up the winning symbol is always arranged within 5 frames. A replay role is given by winning a chance replay.

For example, when the right reel is stopped at the third stop when the chance replay 1 is won, two replay symbols are listened to on the winning line LN at the time of the second stop operation. Therefore, the player cannot know which of the bell, the normal replay, and the watermelon 1 has won the winning combination until the third stop operation of the right reel is performed. Similarly, in the case of the third stop operation of the middle reel when the chance replay 2 is won and the third stop operation of the left reel when the chance replay 3 is won, the player does not perform the third stop operation until the third stop operation is performed. It is not possible to know which of the Bell, Normal Replay and Watermelon 1 winners have been won.

The symbol combination of "reach eye replay" is "replay-bell-replay". If the reach eye replay wins, a replay will be awarded.

As described above, in the internal lottery process, the symbol combinations that are allowed to be derived are determined by the internal lottery. In the present embodiment, as an internal lottery, a first lottery for determining whether or not to allow the derivation of a small winning combination or a replaying combination, and a second lottery for determining whether or not to allow the derivation of a special winning combination. Is executed.

In the present embodiment, as a plurality of lottery results that can be determined by the first lottery, the bell and the watermelon 1 are used.
, Watermelon 2, Watermelon 3, Normal Replay, Chance Replay 1, Chance Replay 2, Chance Replay 3, Reach Eye Replay. Not limited to this, the winning of other small roles or replaying roles may be determined by the first lottery.

Further, as a lottery result that can be determined by the second lottery, there is a BB winning. Not limited to this, the winning of other bonuses may be decided by the second lottery.

In the present embodiment, since the first lottery and the second lottery are independently executed as the internal lottery, for example, the watermelon 1 is won by the first lottery and the BB is won by the second lottery at the same time. Winning may occur. However, in the present embodiment, any one of chance replays 1 to 3, watermelons 1 to 3, and reach eye replays and BB can be won at the same time, but one of bells and normal replays and BB. An internal lottery will be held so as not to win at the same time. In addition, two roles (for example, chance replay 1) by the first lottery
And watermelon 1) will not win at the same time.

In this way, the chance replay (chance replays 1 to 3) winning that may be won at the same time as the BB is more advantageous than the normal replay winning that is not likely to be won at the same time as the BB. In addition, the watermelon (watermelon 1 to 3) winning that may be won at the same time as the BB is more advantageous than the normal replay winning that is not likely to be won at the same time as the BB.

In the present embodiment, two processes, the first lottery and the second lottery, are executed as the internal lottery process, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the internal lottery process is executed as the same process. May be good. That is, in the same internal lottery process, it may be determined whether or not to allow the derivation of a small winning combination, a replaying combination, or a special winning combination.

In addition, among the winning roles that are won at the same time as BB, for chance replay and watermelon,
At the time of winning, the winning suggestion effect described later may be executed. On the other hand, for the reach eye replay, even if the player wins, the winning suggestion effect is not executed.

However, when the reach eye replay wins, the reach eye where the bell is arranged in a V shape is derived (the bell is derived on the upper line on the left reel and the right reel), and the reach eye is derived. It is suggested that BB may have been elected.

[Overview of various productions]
In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, various effects executed by the sub-control unit 91 will be described. The sub control unit 91 executes various effects based on commands from the main control unit 41.

(Winning suggestion production)
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the winning suggestion effect by using the liquid crystal display 51. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the winning suggestion effect. As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D, the winning suggestion effect includes the winning suggestion effects A to D.

The winning suggestion effect will be displayed after the corresponding display is performed in each of the first area and the second area.
It is an effect that suggests the winning result by selecting either the correspondence display in the first area or the correspondence display in the second area.

The corresponding display is a display corresponding to any one of a plurality of lottery results that can be determined by the first lottery. Corresponding display is blue corresponding to normal replay winning, and purple corresponding to each of chance replay (chance replay 1, chance replay 2, chance replay 3) and watermelon (watermelon 1, watermelon 2, watermelon 3) winning. Display and
Includes a green display that only supports watermelon winning. In this way, since the corresponding display is performed based on the lottery result by the first lottery, BB which is the lottery result by the second lottery.
Correspondence display corresponding to winning is not performed.

The blue-corresponding display is performed by displaying the blue-corresponding image 81a having a round blue shape or the blue-corresponding image 81c having a square blue shape. The purple-compatible display is a purple-compatible image 8 in the shape of a purple star.
It is performed by the display of 1b. The green-corresponding display is performed by displaying the green-corresponding image 81d having a purple star shape.

In the present embodiment, when any of the normal replay, the chance replay, and the watermelon is won, it is determined by lottery whether or not to execute the winning suggestion effect. Whether or not to execute the winning suggestion effect may be uniformly determined at a predetermined ratio, or the execution ratio may be changed depending on the winning combination. In addition, it may be decided by lottery whether or not to execute the winning suggestion effect even when a role other than the normal replay, the chance replay, and the watermelon is won.

The first area is the area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The second area is the area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the winning suggestion effect A, the sub-control unit 91 displays a blue-corresponding image corresponding to the normal replay winning in the first area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. In addition to displaying 81a, a purple corresponding display corresponding to a rare combination winning (watermelon or chance replay winning) is displayed in the second area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 by displaying a blue corresponding image 81a.

After that, the sub-control unit 91 selects either a blue-corresponding display or a purple-corresponding display. When the blue corresponding display is selected, it is suggested that the normal replay is won (see Fig. 5 (d)).
If the purple color display is selected, it suggests winning a watermelon or chance replay (Fig. 5).
See (e)). A specific execution example of the winning suggestion effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9.

As shown in FIG. 3B, in the winning suggestion effect B, the sub-control unit 91 displays a purple color corresponding to a rare role (watermelon, chance replay) winning in the first region (display of a purple color corresponding image 81b). And then in the second area, the blue corresponding display (display of the blue corresponding image 81c) corresponding to the normal replay winning is performed, and then the winning result is selected by selecting either the purple corresponding display or the blue corresponding display. Suggest.

As shown in FIG. 3C, in the winning suggestion effect C, the sub-control unit 91 displays the blue color corresponding to the normal replay winning in the first area (displays the blue color corresponding image 81a) and the second area. After displaying the green color corresponding to the watermelon winning (displaying the green color corresponding image 81d), the winning result is suggested by selecting either the blue color corresponding display or the green color corresponding display.

As shown in FIG. 3D, in the winning suggestion effect D, the sub-control unit 91 displays green corresponding to the watermelon winning (displaying the green corresponding image 81d) in the first region and in the second region. After performing the purple-compatible display (display of the purple-compatible image 81b) corresponding to the rare role (watermelon, chance replay) winning, the winning result is suggested by selecting either the green-compatible display or the purple-compatible display. do.

When executing the winning suggestion effect, the sub control unit 91 determines which of the winning suggestion effects A to D is to be executed. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the execution ratio of the selection suggestion effect and the winning suggestion effect. The selection suggestion effect will be described later.

When the normal replay is won by the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the winning suggestion effect A with a probability of 80%, executes the winning suggestion effect B with a probability of 15%, and suggests winning with a probability of 5%. Execute the production C. At the time of normal replay winning, the winning suggestion effect D is not executed.

When the chance replay is won by the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the winning suggestion effect A with a probability of 50%, and executes the winning suggestion effect B with a probability of 50%. When the chance replay is won, the winning suggestion effects C and D are not executed.

When the watermelon is won by the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the winning suggestion effect B with a 20% probability, executes the winning suggestion effect C with a 20% probability, and has a winning suggestion effect with a 60% probability. Execute D. When the watermelon is won, the winning suggestion effect A is not executed.

Here, when the watermelon is won, the watermelon winning may not occur depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the button). On the other hand, when the normal replay is won or the chance replay is won, a prize is generated regardless of the pressing order (operation procedure) or operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

In other words, while it is necessary to push the watermelon to win the prize, it is not necessary to push the watermelon when winning the normal replay or chance replay, and it is possible to win the prize regardless of the operation procedure or operation timing (no omissions). ).

For this reason, when a watermelon is elected, it is necessary to warn the player that it is necessary to push the watermelon. For this reason, when a watermelon is won, a green-compatible display (watermelon) rather than a winning suggestion effect including a purple-compatible display (suggesting a chance replay or a watermelon-winning possibility) Is set to be higher in the execution rate of the winning suggestion effect including the winning suggestion effect). The green-corresponding display suggests that a push is necessary.

Specifically, at the time of winning a watermelon, if a normal replay or a corresponding display corresponding to the winning is performed, the probability (20%) of executing the winning suggestion effect C by the blue corresponding display and the green corresponding display is higher. , It is higher than the probability (0%) of executing the winning suggestion effect A by the blue corresponding display and the purple corresponding display. As described above, when the winning suggestion effect A and the winning suggestion effect C are compared, when the watermelon is won, the green color corresponding display is performed at a higher rate than the purple color corresponding display.

In addition, when the chance replay or the watermelon corresponds to the winning at the time of winning the watermelon, the probability (60%) of executing the winning suggestion effect D by the green corresponding display and the purple corresponding display is blue corresponding. It is higher than the probability (20%) of executing the winning suggestion effect B by the display and the display corresponding to purple. As described above, when the winning suggestion effect B and the winning suggestion effect D are compared, when the watermelon is won, the green color corresponding display is performed at a higher rate than the purple color corresponding display.

In addition, when the chance replay is won, the winning suggestion effects C and D, which are displayed in green, are not executed. By doing so, when the green corresponding display is performed, the player becomes aware of pressing the eyes, so that the eyes can be appropriately pressed.

On the other hand, for example, when the winning suggestion effect A (blue corresponding display and purple corresponding display) that does not include the green corresponding display is executed, the player may have the impression that there is no need to press the button. many. In particular, since the winning probability is higher in the normal replay with no omissions than in the rare role, it is easy for the player to have the impression that there is no need to push the eyes when the winning suggestion effect including the blue corresponding display is executed. ..

For this reason, when the winning suggestion effect A, which displays the blue color in the first area and the purple color in the second area, is executed, it is usually executed with the highest probability (80%) at the time of winning the replay. When the chance replay is won, it is executed at 50%, and when the watermelon is won, it is difficult to be executed (0%). As a result, there is a high possibility that the player does not have to press the button when the winning suggestion effect A is executed.

Further, at the time of normal replay winning, the winning suggestion effect A is executed with the highest probability (80%), so that the blue corresponding display is selected at a higher rate than the purple corresponding display. Further, when the winning suggestion effect A is executed and the purple corresponding display is selected, there is a possibility that the chance replay or the watermelon has been won. However, since the execution probability (0%) of the winning suggestion effect A at the time of winning the watermelon is set lower than the execution probability (50%) of the winning suggestion effect A at the time of winning the chance replay, the purple corresponding display is displayed. If selected, chance replay is more likely to be won.

As described above, when the winning suggestion effect A in which the blue corresponding display is performed in the first area and the purple corresponding display is performed in the second area, the blue corresponding display is displayed at a higher rate than the purple corresponding display. Be selected. Also, if the purple-compatible display is selected, it is highly possible that the chance replay has been won. By doing so, even if the player does not push the button, there is a high possibility that the player will win a normal replay or a chance replay without any omissions, so that the player's advantage is not impaired as much as possible. Can be done.

Further, when the winning suggestion effect A and the winning suggestion effect B are compared, when the blue color corresponding display is performed in the first region, the blue color corresponding image 81a having a round shape is displayed (FIG. 7 (a)).
When the blue-corresponding display is performed in the second region, the blue-corresponding image 81c having a square shape is displayed (FIG. 7B), so that the blue-corresponding display is performed in different modes from each other. By doing so, the display becomes diverse and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in both the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the first region (FIG. 7 (a)) and the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the second region (FIG. 7 (b)), the shape is star-shaped. Since the purple-corresponding image 81b is displayed, the purple-corresponding display is performed in the same manner. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying when a rare role with a high advantage is won.

Here, within the bonus from winning the BB to winning the BB, when the normal replay is won, the winning suggestion effect C is more likely to be selected than the winning suggestion effect A. Specifically, in the non-internal bonus, as shown in FIG. 4, the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect A is 80% and the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect C is 5% at the time of normal replay winning. On the other hand, in the non-internal bonus, the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect C is higher than the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect A. That is, if the winning suggestion effect C is executed at the time of normal replay winning, there is a high possibility that the bonus is inside (winning BB), which is highly advantageous for the player.

(Selection suggestion production)
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the selection suggestion effect at the same time when the winning suggestion effect is executed. In the selection suggestion effect, the sub-control unit 91 selects the corresponding display corresponding to the winning result having a high advantage before either the corresponding display in the first area or the corresponding display in the second area is selected. Suggest that it will be done.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the winning suggestion effect is executed at the time of normal replay winning, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 10%. If the winning suggestion effect is executed at the time of winning the chance replay, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 60%. If the winning suggestion effect is executed when the watermelon is won, there is a 90% chance that the selection suggestion effect will be executed.

In this way, since the selection suggestion effect is executed at a higher rate in the chance replay and the watermelon winning, which have a higher advantage than the normal replay, the selection suggestion effect is executed, and the winning result with a high advantage is obtained. It is suggested that the corresponding corresponding display is selected.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the winning suggestion effect A, before either the blue corresponding display in the first region or the purple corresponding display in the second region is selected (FIG. 5 (e)), A selection suggestion effect (FIG. 5 (c)) suggesting that the purple corresponding display corresponding to the chance replay winning with a high degree of advantage is selected is executed.

[Execution example of various winning suggestion effects]
Next, execution examples of various winning suggestion effects will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9.

[Winning suggestion production A]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of the winning suggestion effect A. It is assumed that the normal replay or the chance replay 1 is won by the operation of the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the winning suggestion effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 5A, by executing the winning suggestion effect A, the first region of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed in blue (display of the blue corresponding image 81a), and the second region is displayed in purple. The display (display of the purple corresponding image 81b) is performed. Further, by operating the start switch 7, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start to rotate.

As shown in FIG. 5B, two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line LN by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel. As a result, normal replay prize ("replay-replay-replay"), chance replay 1 prize ("replay-replay-white BAR / black BAR"), and watermelon 1 prize ("replay-replay-black 7" (lower line) It is shown that it is possible to win a prize (listening state) for any of the watermelons)).

Further, when the symbol is derived to the middle reel by the second stop operation, the selection suggestion effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 5 (c). As described above, the probability that the selection suggestion effect is executed is usually 10% at the time of winning the replay and 60% at the time of winning the chance replay. Therefore, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that the purple-corresponding display is selected rather than the blue-corresponding display by executing the selection suggestion effect. That is, it has a higher advantage than the normal replay winning (
It is suggested that there is a high possibility that Chance Replay 1 or Watermelon 1 (which may be won at the same time as BB) is won.

Next, when the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, the state transitions to the state of FIG. 5 (d) or FIG. 5 (e).

If the normal replay is won by the internal lottery when the lever is turned on, the blue corresponding display is selected and the blue corresponding image 81a is displayed in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 5 (d). To. In addition, the replay symbol is derived on the winning line of the right reel by the third stop operation, which causes a normal replay winning. In addition, it is not necessary to press the button to win a prize in a normal replay. Further, as described above, in the winning suggestion effect A, the blue corresponding display is selected at a higher rate than the purple corresponding display.

If the chance replay is won by the internal lottery when the lever is turned on, the purple-compatible display is selected as shown in FIG. 5 (e), and the purple-compatible image 81 is in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.
b is displayed. In addition, the white BAR symbol is derived on the winning line of the right reel by the third stop operation, which causes the winning of the chance replay. Further, as described above, the winning suggestion effect A is not selected when the watermelon is won. In addition, it is not necessary to push the prize to win the chance replay.

In this way, in the winning suggestion effect, when the symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation (FIGS. 5 (d) and 5 (e)), the corresponding display (blue corresponding display) in the first area and the second area One of the corresponding display (purple corresponding display) in is selected, which suggests the winning result.

Further, in the suggestion effect A, when the blue-corresponding display is performed in the first region and the purple-corresponding display is performed in the second region, the blue-corresponding display is selected at a higher rate than the purple-corresponding display. Also, when the purple-compatible display is selected, the percentage of winning chance replays is higher than the percentage of winning watermelons.

[Comparison example of winning suggestion effects B and D]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example between the winning suggestion effect B and the winning suggestion effect D. Figure 6
(A) to (c) explain an execution example of the winning suggestion effect B at the time of winning the chance replay 1, and FIGS. 6 (d) to 6 (g) show an execution example of the winning suggestion effect D at the time of winning the watermelon 1. Is to explain.

First, an execution example of the winning suggestion effect B at the time of winning the chance replay 1 will be described.
It is assumed that the chance replay 1 is won by operating the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the winning suggestion effect B is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 6A, by executing the winning suggestion effect B, the first region of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed in purple and the second region is displayed in blue.

As shown in FIG. 6B, two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line LN by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel. This indicates that one of the normal replay, the chance replay 1, and the watermelon 1 can be won (in a tenpai state). In this example, when the symbol is derived to the middle reel by the second stop operation, the selection suggestion effect is not executed.

When the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, the purple corresponding display is selected as shown in FIG. 6 (c). In addition, a white BAR symbol is derived on the winning line on the right reel, which causes a winning of Chance Replay 1. In addition, it is not necessary to push the prize to win the chance replay.

Next, an execution example of the winning suggestion effect D at the time of winning the watermelon 1 will be described. It is assumed that the watermelon 1 is won by operating the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the winning suggestion effect D is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 6D, by executing the winning suggestion effect D, the first region of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed for green and the second region is displayed for purple. The green color display suggests the possibility of winning a watermelon. In addition, the green corresponding display suggests that it is necessary to press the button.

As shown in FIG. 6 (e), two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line LN by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel. This indicates that one of the normal replay, the chance replay 1, and the watermelon 1 can be won (in a tenpai state).

Further, when the symbol is derived to the middle reel by the second stop operation, the selection suggestion effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 6 (f). As explained earlier, the probability that the selection suggestion effect will be executed is 60% when the chance replay is won, and 90 when the chance replay is won.
%. For this reason, the selection suggestion effect is more when the watermelon 1 is won as described in FIGS. 6 (d) to 6 (g) than when the chance replay 1 is won as described in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c). Easy to execute.

In order to win the watermelon 1 in the third stop operation, it is necessary to press the button. Since the display corresponding to green is performed, the player can use the red 7 symbol, which is the winning symbol on the right reel, as the winning line LN.
Press to stop. When the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, the green corresponding display is selected as shown in FIG. 6 (g). If the push is successful, the red 7 symbol will be derived on the winning line on the right reel and the chance replay 1 will be won (three watermelon symbols are lined up on the invalid line in the lower row).

In this way, when the symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation (FIGS. 6 (c) and 6 (g)) in the winning suggestion effect, the correspondence display in the first region and the correspondence display in the second region are obtained. Is selected.

Further, when the winning suggestion effect B and the winning suggestion effect D are compared, when the watermelon is won, the green color corresponding display is performed at a higher rate than the purple color corresponding display.

[Differences in display mode between winning suggestion effects A and B]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the difference between the winning suggestion effect A and the winning suggestion effect B and the display mode. FIG. 7A describes an execution example of the winning suggestion effect A, and FIG. 7B describes an execution example of the winning suggestion effect B.

When the winning suggestion effect A is executed, as shown in FIG. 7A, a blue-corresponding display by displaying a round-shaped blue-corresponding image 81a is performed in the first region of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, in the second region of the liquid crystal display 51, a purple-corresponding image 81b having a star shape is displayed to perform a purple-corresponding display.

When the winning suggestion effect B is executed, as shown in FIG. 7B, a purple-corresponding image 81b having a star shape is displayed in the first region of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, in the second region of the liquid crystal display 51, a blue-corresponding display is performed by displaying a square-shaped blue-corresponding image 81a.

Comparing the winning suggestion effect A and the winning suggestion effect B, when the blue corresponding display is performed in the first region, the round blue corresponding image 81a is displayed (FIG. 7 (a)), whereas the second region is displayed. When the blue-corresponding display is performed in, a square-shaped blue-corresponding image 81c is displayed (FIG. 7 (b)). In this way, when the blue corresponding display is performed, the winning suggestion effect A and the winning suggestion effect B perform the corresponding display in different modes from each other.

On the other hand, in both the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the first region (FIG. 7 (a)) and the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the second region (FIG. 7 (b)), the shape is a star shape. The purple corresponding image 81b is displayed. In this way, when the purple color is displayed, the winning suggestion effect A
And the winning suggestion effect B, the corresponding display is performed in the same manner.

[Comparison of winning suggestion effects A and C at the time of normal replay winning]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example between the winning suggestion effect A and the winning suggestion effect C at the time of normal replay winning. 8 (a) to 8 (c) explain an example of executing the winning suggestion effect A at the time of normal replay winning, and FIGS. 8 (d) to 8 (f) show an example of executing the winning suggestion effect D. It is to explain. In this example, since the normal replay is won, in any case, the blue corresponding display is finally selected.

First, an execution example of the winning suggestion effect A at the time of winning the normal replay will be described. It is assumed that the normal replay is won by turning on the lever, and the execution of the winning suggestion effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 8A, by executing the winning suggestion effect A, the first region of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed in blue and the second region is displayed in purple. As shown in FIG. 8B, two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line LN by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel. By the third stop operation of the right reel, as shown in FIG. 8C, the blue corresponding display is selected, and the normal replay wins.

Next, an execution example of the winning suggestion effect C at the time of winning the normal replay will be described. It is assumed that the normal replay is won by turning on the lever, and the execution of the winning suggestion effect C is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 8D, by executing the winning suggestion effect C, the first area of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed in blue and the second area is displayed in green. As shown in FIG. 8 (e), two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line LN by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel.

Here, it is assumed that the player aims to win the watermelon 1 because the display corresponding to green is performed. However, in reality, since the replay is usually won, reel control is performed to draw the replay symbol into the winning line LN. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8 (f), the blue corresponding display is selected by the third stop operation of the right reel, the replay symbol is derived on the winning line LN, and the normal replay wins.

In such a case, the player feels a little stress because the watermelon 1 is not won as a result, even though the display corresponding to green is performed and the watermelon 1 is aimed at winning. become. However, as described above, when the winning suggestion effect C is executed at the time of normal replay winning, the inside of the bonus is more advantageous to the player than when the winning suggestion effect A is executed. There is a high possibility.

That is, in the winning suggestion effect C, when the blue corresponding display is performed and the blue corresponding display is selected (normal replay winning) after the green corresponding display is performed (FIGS. 8 (d) to (f)).
In the winning suggestion effect A, the advantage is higher than the case where the blue corresponding display is selected (normal replay winning) after the blue corresponding display is performed and the purple corresponding display is performed (normal replay winning). expensive. By doing so, the stress of the player can be reduced.

[Comparison example depending on whether or not the winning suggestion effect is executed]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example between the case where the winning suggestion effect is executed and the case where the winning suggestion effect is not executed. 9 (a) and 9 (b) explain an example in which the winning suggestion effect is executed, and FIGS. 9 (c) and 9 (d) explain an example in which the winning suggestion effect is not executed.

First, an example in which the winning suggestion effect is executed will be described. It is assumed that the chance replay 1 is won by turning on the lever, and the execution of the winning suggestion effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 9A, by executing the winning suggestion effect A, the first region of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed in blue and the second region is displayed in purple. The purple color display corresponds to chance replay or watermelon winning. In addition, since chance replay or watermelon may be won at the same time as BB, the purple corresponding display suggests the possibility of winning BB. As shown in FIG. 9B, when all reels are stopped, the purple corresponding display is selected and Chance Replay 1 wins a prize.

Next, an example in which the winning suggestion effect is not executed will be described. It is assumed that the reach eye replay is won by turning on the lever. When the reach eye replay is won, the winning suggestion effect is not executed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9 (c), the corresponding display is not performed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in FIG. 9B, when all reels are stopped, the reach eye replay wins a prize. At this time, the reach stitch in which the bell is arranged in a V shape is derived. The fact that the reach is derived suggests the possibility of winning the BB.

The reach-eye replay is a winning combination that may win the BB at the same time as the watermelon and the chance replay, and is a winning combination with a higher advantage than the normal replay. However, FIG. 9 (
As explained in a) and (b), when the watermelon or chance replay is won, the winning suggestion effect can be executed, whereas when the reach eye replay is won, FIGS. 9 (c) and 9 (d). )
As explained in, the winning suggestion effect is not executed.

The former suggests the winning of the winning combination (or suggests the winning of the BB) at the time of winning, while the latter suggests the winning of the winning combination (or BB) by the symbol combination (chance eye) derived at the time of winning. It suggests winning). By doing so, it is possible to give unexpectedness to the derivation of the chance eye.

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

(1-1) Watermelon winning and chance replay winning that may be won at the same time as BB
It has a higher advantage than the regular replay win. In addition, when the watermelon is won, it is necessary to press the button, and when the normal replay or chance replay is won, there is no need to press the button and there is no omission. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the winning suggestion effect A, when the blue corresponding display is performed in the first region and the purple corresponding display is performed in the second region, the ratio is higher than the purple corresponding display. When the blue corresponding display is selected and the purple corresponding display is selected, the percentage of winning the chance replay is higher than the percentage of winning the watermelon. In this way, in the winning suggestion effect A, there is a high possibility that the blue corresponding display corresponding to the normal replay winning without omission is selected, and when the purple corresponding display is selected, the chance replay winning without omission is selected. Is likely to be. For this reason, the player recognizes that it is highly likely that he has won a role that has not been missed, but even if he does not make a push, there is a high probability that he will win a normal replay or chance replay, so the game will be played as much as possible. It is possible not to impair the degree of advantage of the person. As described above, the winning suggestion effect for suggesting winning has been improved.

(1-2) As shown in FIG. 8, when the blue corresponding display is performed and the green corresponding display is performed and then the blue corresponding display is selected in the winning suggestion effect C (FIGS. 5 (d) to (f). ))teeth,
In the winning suggestion effect A, the advantage is higher than the case where the blue corresponding display is performed and the purple corresponding display is performed and then the blue corresponding display is selected (FIGS. 5A to 5C). In this way, in the winning suggestion effect C, even if the watermelon is not won even though the player presses the button because the green color corresponding to the button is displayed, the winning suggestion effect A Since the advantage is higher than the situation when is executed, the stress of the player can be reduced.

(1-3) As shown in FIG. 5, in the winning suggestion effect A, either the blue corresponding display in the first region or the purple corresponding display in the second region is selected (FIG. 5 (e)). Previously, a selection suggestion effect (FIG. 5 (c)) suggesting that the purple-corresponding display corresponding to the chance replay winning with a high advantage was executed, so the player pays attention to whether or not the selection suggestion effect is executed. Can be made to.

(1-4) As shown in FIG. 6, when the watermelon is won (winning suggestion effect D), the selection suggestion effect is higher than that when the chance replay is won (winning suggestion effect B) (FIG. 6 (f)).
Is executed. When the watermelon is won, it is necessary to press the button, so by executing the selection suggestion effect in this way, the player can pay more attention to the situation where the press is required.

(1-5) As shown in FIGS. 5 (d) and 5 (e), when the symbol combination is derived, the first
Either the blue corresponding display in the area or the purple corresponding display in the second area is selected. By doing so, it is possible to specify which of the normal replay winning corresponding to the blue corresponding display and the chance replay winning corresponding to the purple corresponding display is used as the basis for deriving the symbol combination.

(1-6) It is suggested that the BB may have been won by winning the reach eye replay (deriving the chance eye). Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the reach eye replay is won, the winning suggestion effect is not performed. In order to suggest the possibility of winning the BB by the chance eye derived at the time of winning, without executing the winning suggestion effect that suggests the winning of the winning combination (suggesting the possibility of winning the BB) at the time of winning, the derivation of the chance eye It can be surprising.

(2) When the watermelon is won, it is necessary to press the button, and when the chance replay is won, there is no need to press the button and there is no omission. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 (d) to 6 (g),
When the watermelon is won, the green color is displayed at a higher rate than the purple color display in the winning suggestion effect. In this way, when a watermelon that requires a push is won, the green correspondence display that suggests a push is executed more frequently, so if the player wins a role (chance lip) that is not missed. A role (watermelon) that needs to be pressed by reducing the chances of thinking and not pressing
When you are elected, you can make a proper push. As described above, the winning suggestion effect for suggesting winning has been improved.

(3-1) As shown in FIG. 7, when the blue corresponding display is performed in the first region, the round blue corresponding image 81a is displayed (FIG. 7 (a)), whereas in the second region. When the blue-compatible display is performed, the square-shaped blue-compatible image 81c is displayed (FIG. 7 (b)).
Therefore, the blue corresponding display is performed in different modes from each other. Further, in both the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the first region (FIG. 7 (a)) and the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the second region (FIG. 7 (b)), the shape is star-shaped. Since the purple-corresponding image 81b is displayed, the purple-corresponding display is performed in the same manner. In this way, by displaying the blue color in multiple modes, the display can be diversified and the fun of the game can be improved. On the other hand, by displaying the purple color in the same mode, the watermelon or chance replay is won. It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying when the game is played. As described above, the winning suggestion effect for suggesting winning has been improved.

(3-2) Since watermelon and chance replay may be won at the same time as BB, watermelon winning and chance lip winning are more advantageous than normal replay winning. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying when a highly advantageous watermelon or chance replay is won.

(3-3) When the watermelon is won, the watermelon may not be won depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the button). When the normal replay is won, the normal replay wins regardless of the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (there is no need to press the button and there is no omission). In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying when a watermelon whose advantage varies depending on the operation mode is won.

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

[About the display mode of the corresponding display]
In the present embodiment, the shape of the blue-compatible image is a round shape or a square shape, and the shapes of the purple-compatible image and the green-compatible image are star-shaped, but the shape is not limited to this. You may. For example, it may be in the shape of some character, or in the shape of food or a vehicle. Further, the color of the image to be displayed in correspondence may be another color. For example, the color of the corresponding image corresponding to the chance replay and the watermelon is not limited to purple, but may be white or rainbow.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the blue corresponding display is performed in the first region, the blue corresponding image 81a having a round shape is displayed, and the blue corresponding display is performed in the second region. In the case, the square-shaped blue corresponding image 81c is displayed so that the corresponding display can be performed in different modes from each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modes may be different depending on those having different shapes, different colors, different patterns, or different elements constituting each other. Further, it is sufficient that the player can recognize that the two corresponding displays are different from each other when he / she visually recognizes them.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the corresponding display is performed in the same manner in the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the first region and the case where the purple corresponding display is performed in the second region. Was made to be done. However, it is not limited to the one in which the corresponding display is performed in the same manner.
It suffices as long as the correspondence display is performed in substantially the same manner. For example, the ones having the same shape but different colors and patterns, the ones having the same color and pattern but different shapes, and the ones having some elements constituting the mode but different from each other may be used. Further, when the player visually recognizes the two corresponding displays, they may be able to recognize that they are the same or very close to each other because of the common elements. For example, the same character may be a character facing right and a character facing left, a character having a different facial expression, or a character having a different hair color. It may be a pen but partly different in shape, or the same food but partly different ingredients.

[About winning suggestion production]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the normal replay or the rare role is won, the winning suggestion effect can be executed. However, if the bell is won instead of the normal replay winning, the winning suggestion effect may be executed. For example, instead of the blue corresponding display corresponding to the normal replay, the yellow corresponding display corresponding to the bell winning may be performed. When the yellow corresponding display is performed, the winning suggestion effects A and C are performed by displaying the yellow corresponding image having a round yellow shape, and the winning suggestion effect B is performed by displaying the yellow corresponding image having a yellow square shape. Further, the execution probability of the selection suggestion effect and the execution probability of the winning suggestion effects A to D may be the same as when the blue corresponding display is performed.

Further, when the bell is won, the yellow corresponding display may be executed, and when the normal replay is won, the blue corresponding display may be executed. In addition, it may correspond to the winning of other roles. For example, as a rare role, a red corresponding display corresponding to the cherry winning may be performed.

Further, the winning suggestion effect is not limited to the one that executes the two correspondence displays, and may be the one that executes three or more correspondence displays.

Further, the first area is the area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the second area is the area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.
The first area may be the area at the upper part of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the second area may be the area at the lower part of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. Also, the first
As long as the area is different between the area and the second area, it may be displayed in any area.

Further, the winning probability of the winning suggestion effect and the execution probability of the selection suggestion effect are not limited to those shown in FIG. For example, when the watermelon is won, the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect A is not limited to 0%, and may be lower than the execution probability of other winning suggestion effects. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the player will be pushed when the winning suggestion effect A is executed.

Further, at the time of winning the chance replay, the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect C (or D) is not limited to 0%, and even if it is lower than the execution probability of the winning suggestion effect C (or D) at the time of winning the watermelon. good. By doing so, when the green corresponding display is displayed in the winning suggestion effect C (or D), it is possible to increase the possibility that the watermelon will win a prize by pressing the button.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, an example in which the right reel is stopped third when the chance replay 1 is won has been described. Here, when the right reel is first stopped, the white BAR or the black BAR is pulled in. In this case, from the player's point of view, the possibility of winning the normal replay or the watermelon 1 is excluded, and it becomes clear that the chance replay 1 has been won. In this case, instead of selecting the purple-corresponding display when the third stop operation is performed, the purple-corresponding display may be selected when the first stop operation is performed. In addition, when the right reel is stopped for the second time, it is known that Chance Replay 1 has been won at the stage where the second stop operation is performed, so the purple corresponding display should be selected when the second stop operation is performed. May be good. The same applies to the case of winning one watermelon.

Similarly, if Chance Replay 2 is won, White B will be the first stop on the middle reel.
Since AR or black BAR is pulled in, the purple color display is selected when the first stop operation is performed, and when the middle reel is stopped second, the purple color display is selected when the second stop operation is performed. When the middle reel is stopped third, the purple corresponding display is selected when the second stop operation is performed. The same applies to Chance Replay 3 and Watermelons 2 and 3.

In the present embodiment, when the watermelon is won, it is necessary to press the button to win a prize, and the advantage differs depending on the operation timing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and different winning combinations may be won depending on the operation procedure, and the number of medals paid out may be different (different advantages).

[About selection suggestion production]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 (d) and 5 (e), the selection suggestion effect is executed when the second stop operation is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection suggestion effect may be executed after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the lever is turned on. Further, the selection suggestion effect is executed when the third stop operation is performed, the character image "PUSH" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the same time as the selection suggestion effect is executed, and the player is provided in the slot machine 1. The corresponding display may be selected when the operation means is operated.

[Advantages when winning a rare role]
In the present embodiment, a corresponding display corresponding to any of a plurality of lottery results that can be determined by the first lottery is performed, and as the corresponding display, for example, a blue corresponding display corresponding to a normal replay winning or a chance replay. (Chance replay 1-3) and watermelon (watermelon 1-3)
The purple color corresponding to each of the winners is displayed. Also, when the chance replay or watermelon win is decided by the first lottery, the BB win may be decided by the second lottery (because there is a possibility of simultaneous win), so it is better than the normal replay win. , Chance replay and watermelon winning were more advantageous.

However, the BB winning is not limited to the one determined by the second lottery, and may shift to the advantageous section described later when the chance replay or the winning of the watermelon is determined by the first lottery. That is, chance replay or watermelon may be used as an advantageous section transitioning role, and may be transferred to an advantageous section by winning the advantageous section shifting combination. By doing so, when the purple-corresponding display or the green-corresponding display is selected, the transition to the advantageous section is suggested.

Further, when the chance replay or the watermelon is decided by the first lottery, the advantage section is shifted to, so that the chance replay or the watermelon is more advantageous than the normal replay. Further, the reach eye replay may be used as an advantageous section transition role. In this case, the winning suggestion effect is not executed when the reach eye replay is won, but due to the winning of the reach eye replay,
It suggests a shift to an advantageous section. Further, it is not limited to the one that shifts to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section transition combination, and a lottery may be performed after the winning of the advantageous section transition combination to determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous section. In addition, chance replays, watermelons, and reach-eye replays may be used as advantageous section transition roles, and may be made possible to win at the same time as BB.

The main control unit 41 controls a plurality of types of game sections as a concept of a state different from the game state (RT state). The game section includes a normal section, a waiting section, and an advantageous section. The normal section is a section in which navigation information cannot be notified. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information can be notified, and is a section having performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player of the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. After the setting is changed, it is controlled to the normal section and shifts to the advantageous section based on winning the transition to the advantageous section. The transition to the advantageous section will be won when certain conditions are met. In the normal section, when the bonus is won, the control to the advantageous section is waited until the bonus is won, and the control is controlled to the waiting section. In the waiting section, when the bonus is won, it is controlled to the advantageous section.

When the main control unit 41 wins the advantageous section transition combination (for example, a rare combination) in the normal section, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section. The advantageous section is the precursor state, CZ, and AT in the advantageous section.
And are included. In the present embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is won, the type of the advantageous section is determined to be either the precursor state only or the CZ transition after the precursor state by the advantageous section distribution lottery. The precursory state is a state that suggests whether the advantageous section continues as it is controlled by CZ or AT, or shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ or AT. The AT is controlled by the main control unit 41, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8
This is a notification state in which a navigation effect for notifying the player of the operation mode of R is executed. The CZ is controlled by the main control unit 41, and the degree of advantage regarding control to the AT is higher than that in the normal section. When it is controlled to the advantageous section, it shifts to the normal section based on the condition that the end condition of the advantageous section (for example, the number of AT games or the number of CZ games becomes 0) is satisfied.

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