When playing a game on the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 4, or a MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set a bet number using credits. When a predetermined number of bets is set according to the game state, the predetermined winning lines L1 to L5 (see FIG. 1, in this embodiment, straddle the upper stages of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R). L1, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R set across the middle stage, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R set across the lower stage, L3, reel 2L upper stage, L4 set across the middle stage of reel 2C and the lower stage of reel 2R, L5) set across the lower stage of reel 2L, the middle stage of reel 2C, and the upper stage of reel 2R are enabled, and the start switch 7 The operation of is valid, that is, the game can be started. If more than the maximum number of medals are inserted out of the specified number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount will be added to the credit. Further, in this embodiment, five winning lines are applied, but six or more winning lines may be applied, or a plurality of winning lines of less than five may be applied.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are continuously changed. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are rotated, stop control is performed for the corresponding reels 2L, 2C and 2R, and the rotation of the reel is performed. It is stopped, and the design of the reel is derived and displayed on the perspective window 3 as a display result.

In the stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (millisecond) in this embodiment) from the time when the operation of each stop switch is performed. Is done. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and 80 (rotation) x 21 (number of symbol frames per reel, for example, 21 frames) = 1680 frames of symbols are varied, so a predetermined maximum Until the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, up to four frames of symbols can be drawn in. That is, in the stop control, one symbol from the symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the symbols up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (retraction range). Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination won in the internal lottery described later is selected. If the constituent symbol is within the pull-in range from the symbol when the stop switch is operated for any of the winning lines L1 to L5 to 4 frames ahead, the winning symbol is within the pull-in range. While pulling on the line and stopping the rotation of the reel operated by the stop switch, the symbols constituting the winning combination won in the internal lottery are within the pulling range of any winning line L1 to L5. If not, the symbols that do not form any winning combination are placed on the winning lines L1 to L5 so that the symbols that make up the winning combination that is not won in the internal lottery do not stop on any of the winning lines L1 to L5. It can be controlled to stop the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch.

When all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a combination of predetermined winning combination symbols on any of the winning lines L1 to L5 is a combination of each reel 2L, 2C. If the game is stopped as a result of displaying 2R, a prize is generated, and a number of medals determined according to the prize are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit (50 in this embodiment), the medal is directly paid out from the medal payout exit 9 (see FIG. 1). Further, when the combination of symbols accompanied by the transition of the gaming state stops on the winning lines L1 to L5 as the display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the combination of the symbols is shifted to the gaming state. ing.

In this embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected while the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all the reels are stopped. In addition, one unit of control for executing the game (game control) starts when all the controls associated with the end of the previous game are completed, and when all the controls associated with the end of the game are completed. finish.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the type of winning combination (hereinafter referred to as winning combination) is determined according to the game state, and it is not necessary to set a small combination with medal payout and a bet number. There are a re-gaming role in which a re-game that enables the start of the next game is given, and a special role that accompanies a transition to a gaming state (special state) that is advantageous to the player. In the following, the small role and the replaying role are collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for the winning combination. In the internal lottery, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each of the above-mentioned combinations is before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the specified number). When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the bet number set), it is determined by using a random number.

Of the winning flags of each combination, the winning flags of the small combination and the replaying combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flag of the special combination is based on the flag. It is valid until the allowable combination of combinations is complete, and is invalid in the game in which the allowable combination of combinations is complete. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of the winning combination permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It has become.

[About the game status]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 can control the gaming state to any one of a normal state, an internal RT, a staging RT, and a special state (BB). The gaming state is a state in which the type of the re-gaming combination to be drawn by the internal lottery and the probability that the re-gaming combination is won by the internal lottery are common. In this embodiment, the probability of winning the re-gaming combination differs depending on the gaming state in the normal state, the internal RT, the staging RT, and the special state (BB), but in the same gaming state, the re-gaming combination is won. The probability of doing so is uniform.

The normal state is a gaming state that is mainly controlled when the winning of the special combination (BB) is not carried over and when it is not controlled by the special state (BB). The normal state is terminated when the conditions for shifting to the internal medium RT, the effect RT, and the special state (BB), which will be described later, are satisfied, and the conditions for shifting from the effect RT, the special state (BB), which will be described later, to the normal state are satisfied. It starts when it is established. In the normal state, the probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery is set to about 1 / 7.3. Further, in the normal state, the payout rate of medals per game is set so as not to exceed 100%.

The internal RT is a gaming state controlled when the winning of the special role (BB) is carried over. If the special role (BB) is not won in the game in which the special role (BB) is won in the normal state or the RT for staging (hereinafter, may be referred to as the BB establishment game), the BB establishment game is concerned. At the end of, the game is transferred to the internal RT, and the next game is controlled by the internal RT. After that, the internal RT will be terminated when the carried-over special role (BB) wins and is transferred to the special state. The probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery in the internal middle RT is set higher than the probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and is set to about 1/2. .. In addition, the internal middle RT is set so that the payout rate of medals per game does not exceed 100%.

The directing RT is a specific role that can be won at the same time as a special role (BB) in the internal lottery (in this example, watermelon, cherry, chance replay described later), and a specific role that is won in the internal lottery. Is a gaming state in which the game is controlled for a predetermined period (4 games in this embodiment) when the transition roll described later is stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. In the normal state, the symbol combination or the shift result of the specific combination is stopped at the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, so that the effect RT is transferred. After that, the staging RT is terminated by shifting to the normal state when the predetermined period elapses. Further, in the production RT, when the special role (BB) is not won in the BB establishment game in the production RT and is transferred to the internal middle RT, or in the production RT, the special role (BB) in the BB establishment game. Will be terminated even when the player wins a prize and shifts to the special state (BB) (not shown). The probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery in the staging RT is set higher than the probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery in the normal state, as in the internal middle RT. It is set to / 2. Further, in the staging RT, the payout rate of medals per game is set not to exceed 100%.

The special state (BB) is a gaming state controlled by winning a special role (BB). It is started by winning a special role (BB) carried over in the internal RT, and winning a special role (BB) in a BB establishment game in a normal state and a staging RT (not shown), and a predetermined end condition. (The total number of medals to be paid out in the special state (BB) is a predetermined number according to the types of special roles (BB1 to BB4) that triggered the control of the special state (300, 150 in this embodiment). ) Exceeds) and is terminated. After the end of the special state, it shifts to the normal state. In the special state (BB), the probability that a small winning combination will be won in the internal lottery is controlled by the RB, which is higher than in other game states (normal state, internal medium RT, directing RT), and the medal per game. The payout rate is set to exceed 100%.

Since the "replay" of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R constituting the replay is arranged within 5 symbols in each reel 2L, 2C, 2R (see FIG. 2), the stop operation is performed for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. Regardless of the timing of, the "replay" constituting the replay can be stopped on the winning lines L1 to L5. That is, if the replay is won, the replay always wins.

Chance replay is a prize when the combination of "replay-replay-bell" is stopped at any of the winning lines L1 to L5. When the chance replay wins, the replay is given. The "replay" of the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C constituting the chance replay are arranged within 5 symbols in the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C, and the "bell" of the right reel 2R constituting the chance replay is on the right. Since the reels 2R are arranged within 5 symbols (see Fig. 2), the winning lines L1 are the "replay" and "bell" that make up the chance replay for each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R regardless of the timing of the stop operation. It can be stopped on ~ L5. That is, if the chance replay is won, the chance replay will always win.

[About the role targeted for internal lottery]
The internal lottery target combination to be the lottery target in the internal lottery performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the internal lottery, BB1 + 1 card combination, BB2 + 1 card combination, BB1 + cherry, BB2 + cherry, BB3 + cherry, BB4 + cherry, BB1 + watermelon, BB2 + watermelon, BB3 + watermelon, BB4 + watermelon, BB1 + chance replay, BB2 + chance replay , BB3 + chance replay, BB4 + chance replay, cherry, watermelon, bell, replay, chance replay will be drawn.

When the BB1 + 1 card combination is won as the lottery target combination in the internal lottery, the winning combination BB1 and the 1-card combination are won, and when the BB2 + 1-card combination is won, the winning combination BB2 and the 1-card combination are won. You will be elected at the same time. In addition, when BB1 + cherry is won, BB1 and cherry, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB2 + cherry is won, BB2 and cherry, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB3 + cherry is won. , BB3 and cherry, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB4 + cherry is won, BB4 and cherry, which are winning roles, are won at the same time. In addition, when BB1 + watermelon is won, BB1 and watermelon, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB2 + watermelon is won, BB2 and watermelon, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB3 + watermelon is won. , BB3 and watermelon, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB4 + watermelon is won, BB4 and watermelon, which are winning roles, are won at the same time. In addition, when BB1 + chance replay is won, BB1 and chance replay, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and when BB2 + chance replay is won, BB2 and chance replay, which are winning roles, are won at the same time, and BB3 + chance. When the replay is won, the winning combination BB3 and the chance replay are won at the same time, and when the BB4 + chance replay is won, the winning combination BB4 and the chance replay are won at the same time.

Also, as lottery target roles, BB1 + 1 card role, BB2 + 1 card role, BB1 + cherry, BB2 + cherry, BB3 + cherry, BB4 + cherry, BB1 + watermelon, BB2 + watermelon, BB3 + watermelon, BB4 + watermelon, BB1 + chance replay, BB2 + chance replay, BB3 + chance replay , The game in which BB4 + chance replay is won is the above-mentioned BB establishment game.

In addition, when the cherry is won as the lottery target role in the internal lottery, the winning role cherry is won, when the watermelon is won, the winning watermelon is won, and when the bell is won. , The winning role Bell is won, and when the replay is won, the winning role replay is won, and when the chance replay is won, the winning role chance replay is won.

In the internal lottery of this embodiment, the winning combination of 1-card combination is won only when the BB1 + 1-card combination and the BB2 + 1-card combination are won among the lottery target combinations, so that the symbol combination of the 1-card combination is reel 2L, 2C. By stopping at 2R, it is suggested that the special roles (BB1, BB2) have been won.

Further, in the internal lottery of this embodiment, the winning roles of cherry, watermelon, and chance replay may be won alone or at the same time as the special roles (BB1 to BB4). It is suggested that the special role (BB1 to BB4) may have been won by stopping the symbol combination of either the watermelon symbol combination or the chance replay symbol combination on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. It has become like. Hereinafter, cherries, watermelons, and chance replays that can be won at the same time as special roles (BB1 to BB4) may be collectively referred to as specific roles.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the internal lottery, a predetermined internal lottery target combination is targeted for lottery according to the game state (normal state, staging RT, internal middle RT, special state (BB)). ..

When the game state is controlled to either the normal state or the staging RT, all the above-mentioned lottery target combinations (BB1 + 1 card combination, BB2 + 1 card combination, BB1 + cherry, BB2 + cherry, BB3 + cherry, BB4 + cherry, BB1 + watermelon, BB2 + watermelon, BB3 + watermelon, BB4 + watermelon, BB1 + chance replay, BB2 + chance replay, BB3 + chance replay, BB4 + chance replay, cherry, watermelon, bell, replay, chance replay) will be drawn internally.

When the game state is controlled by the internal RT, an internal lottery is performed for the lottery target roles (cherry, watermelon, bell, replay, chance replay) that do not include BB1 to BB4 among the lottery target roles. Further, when the game state is controlled by the internal middle RT, an internal lottery is performed for the lottery target combination (cherry, watermelon, bell) of the small combination among the lottery target combinations.

In the internal lottery, the probability that the special role (BB1 to BB4) and the specific role (cherry, watermelon, chance replay) will be won at the same time when the game state is controlled by the normal state and the staging RT is the normal state of the game state. , It is set lower than the probability that a specific combination will be elected alone when controlled by the staging RT. In addition, the probability that a specific role (cherry, watermelon, chance replay) will be won independently when the game state is controlled to the normal state and the effect RT is controlled by the game state to the normal state and the effect RT. Sometimes it is set lower than the probability that the bell will win and the probability that the replay will win.

In addition, in the internal lottery, when the game state is controlled to the normal state and the RT for directing, the specific role (cherry, watermelon, chance replay) can be won independently as a special role (BB1 to BB4). While there are cases where one card is won at the same time, the one-card role is not won alone, but is always won at the same time as the special role (BB1, BB2). By stopping the symbol combination of the above on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, it is deterministically suggested that the special combination (BB1, BB2) has been won.

Further, in the internal lottery, the probability that the replay is won when the game state is controlled by the staging RT is set higher than the probability that the replay is won when the game state is controlled to the normal state. ing.

Also, in the internal lottery, the probability that a specific role (cherry, watermelon, chance replay) will be won independently when the game state is controlled by the internal middle RT is controlled by the normal state of the game state and the RT for staging. It is set to the same probability as the probability that the specific combination will be elected independently when there is. In addition, the probability that the bell will be won when the gaming state is controlled by the internal RT is set to the same probability as the probability that the bell will be won when the gaming state is controlled by the normal state and the staging RT. ing. In addition, the probability that the replay will be won when the game state is controlled by the internal RT is when the game state is controlled to the normal state, as when the game state is controlled by the staging RT. The probability that the replay will be won is set higher than the probability that the replay will be won, and the probability that the replay will be won when the game state is controlled by the internal RT is the replay when the game state is controlled by the staging RT. Is set to the same probability as winning.

In the internal lottery, the special roles (BB1 to BB4) are not won independently, but are won at the same time as the small role (cherry, watermelon, one piece role) or the replay role (chance replay). Further, in the reel control process performed by the main control unit 41, when a special combination (BB1 to BB4) and a small combination (cherry, watermelon, one piece combination) are simultaneously won in the internal lottery, the winning small combination is configured. It is controlled so that the symbols are preferentially drawn into the winning lines L1 to L5 within the above-mentioned drawing range, and when the constituent symbols of the winning small winning combination cannot be drawn into the winning lines L1 to L5, the winning is won. It is controlled so that the constituent symbols of the special role are drawn into the winning lines L1 to L5. For this reason, it is difficult to win the winning special role in the BB establishment game in which the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won at the same time as the small role.

Further, in the reel control process, when a special combination (BB1 to BB4) and a replay combination (chance replay) are simultaneously won in the internal lottery, the constituent symbols of the replay combination are preferentially drawn in. The symbols constituting the re-game combination on each reel are arranged within a predetermined pull-in range, and the composition symbols of the re-game combination are always drawn into the winning lines L1 to L5 when the re-game combination is won. Therefore, in the BB establishment game in which the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won at the same time as the replaying role, the winning special role cannot be won.

In addition, in the internal middle RT where the winning of the special role (BB1 to BB4) is carried over, the probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery is higher than in the normal state, and it is controlled by the internal middle RT. Even when the small winning combination or the re-gaming combination is won, the constituent symbols of the small winning combination or the re-gaming combination are preferentially drawn into the winning lines L1 to L5 by the reel control as in the BB establishment game. , It is difficult to win a special role that has been won even during the internal RT.

[Main processing and timer interrupt processing]
The main process and the timer interrupt process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described.

The main process is a process that is repeatedly executed for each unit of the game, and one cycle of the main process corresponds to one unit of the game. The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the processing according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as the main processing, and responds to the change in the detection state of the various switches. Perform the process of gradual migration.

In the main process, a game start wait process that waits until the game starts, an internal lottery process that performs an internal lottery, a reel control process that controls rotation and stop of reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and various types when ending the game. Setting, etc. At the end of the game, the setting process is repeated in a loop.

In the game start waiting process, the game waits in a state where the bet number can be set, and the bet number is set when the bet number is set by inserting a medal or the bet number is set by the MAXBET switch 6. When the start switch 7 is operated with the specified number of bets set, the process of latching the random number value for the internal lottery and storing it in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and the specified number of bets are set. An error (for example, a medal in the medal selector or hopper unit) based on a signal from the inserted medal sensor or the hopper unit 35 due to the process of starting the game when the start switch 7 is operated in the state and the timer interrupt process during standby. When an error such as clogging) is detected, a process for controlling the error state that makes the progress of the game impossible is performed.

In the internal lottery process, whether to allow winning of each lottery target combination based on the random number value for the internal lottery latched when the start switch 7 is operated in the above-mentioned game start waiting process (that is, the display result). Performs the process of deciding whether or not to allow derivation.

In the reel control process, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated in a predetermined constant speed state, and the rotating reel is stopped by the stop switch, so that the corresponding reel is stopped. Processing to stop at the stop position, all reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, and the third stop operation (three reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotated in the game) stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R On the condition that the operation of the stop switch for stopping the reel third of the operations of the above is completed, the process of shifting to the setting process at the end of the game is performed.

In the game end setting process, whether or not the symbol combination stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (derived display result) is the symbol combination in which the winning is generated (winning display result combination), and the winning is generated. In the case of a combination of symbols, a winning judgment process for determining the type of winning combination in which a prize is generated, and a predetermined time for winning a small winning combination when it is determined by the winning determination processing that a small winning combination has been won. When it is determined by the processing of paying out the number of medals from the hopper unit 35 and the winning judgment processing that the winning of the re-gaming combination has occurred, the re-gaming is given along with the winning of the re-gaming combination and the specified number of bets. The process of setting the game, the process of shifting the game state to the special state when it is determined by the prize determination process that a special combination has been won, and the process of displaying the number of medals to be paid out on the game auxiliary display 12. A process of controlling the 1 to 3 BETLEDs 14 to 16 to a lighting state is performed according to the process and the setting of the number of bets by granting the re-game.

The main control unit 41 can perform a timer interrupt process that interrupts the main process and performs various predetermined processes at regular time intervals (about 0.56 milliseconds in this embodiment). The execution interval of the timer interrupt process is set to a time longer than the total time of the time in which the process repeated according to the control state in the main process completes and the execution time of the timer interrupt process, and this time and the next time. The process of repeating according to the control state always completes at least one cycle with the timer interrupt process.

In the timer interrupt process, various indicators (credit indicator 11, game auxiliary indicator 12, etc.) provided in the main control unit 41 are controlled to predetermined modes set in various processes of the main process, and reels in the main process. Input state data related to the process of controlling the rotation and stop of the reel motor according to various requests set by the control process, and the input state of the detection signals of various switches input to the input port of the main control unit 41 ( Processing to update input data indicating the current input status of various switches, confirmed data indicating that the previous and current input data are in the same state, edge data indicating that the confirmed data has changed from the previous value), slot When it is specified that the power supply to the machine 1 has been stopped, a process for setting the destruction diagnosis data of the RAM 41c (a power failure process described later) or the like is performed.

In the above-mentioned main process, a command storage process that generates a command and sets it in the command queue according to the progress and status of the game is appropriately executed. Then, the command set in the command queue is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 by the command transmission process executed in the subsequent timer interrupt process, and the main control unit in the sub control unit 91. Based on the command received from 41, it is possible to perform an effect according to the progress of the game.

[About the staging lottery]
The staging lottery performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10.

The main control unit 41 of this embodiment is designed to determine whether or not to allow a prize for each winning combination by an internal lottery, and can specify the winning winning combination each time the internal lottery is performed. A command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Further, the main control unit 41 issues a command capable of specifying the controlled game state each time the game is started by operating the start switch 7 in a state where a predetermined number of bets are set. A identifiable command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 controls the effect based on the lottery result of the internal lottery specified by the command received from the main control unit 41, the controlled game state, and the like. For example, when it is specified that the game state is controlled to the normal state on the main control unit 41 side, it is specified that the game state is controlled to the special state by controlling mainly to perform the normal effect. When it is done, it is controlled to perform a special state effect.

In addition, the sub control unit 91 wins a specific role (cherry, watermelon, chance replay) at the start of the game based on a command received from the main control unit 41 during normal production (with a special role). (Including the fact that the specific role was won at the same time and the specific role was won alone), the specific role wins, or the specific role is missed and the transition roll stops at reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Then, when it is specified that the game state is transferred to the staging RT, and at the start of the game, the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won, but the special role is not won and the special role is won. Is carried over and it is specified that the game state is transferred to the internal middle RT, a special role (BB1 to Control during the precursory period suggesting the possibility that BB4) has won. As a result, the main control unit 41 controls the game during the precursory period over a predetermined number of games from the time when the main control unit 41 shifts to the effect RT or the internal middle RT.

In the game during the precursory period, the BB winning possibility suggestion effect suggesting the possibility that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won is executed more frequently than in the game during the period not controlled during the precursory period. .. In the BB winning possibility suggestion production, a winning possibility suggestion image (for example, an image of a specific character mainly displayed during the precursory period, "chance" or "chance" suggesting the possibility that a special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won By displaying an image or the like (not shown) including characters such as "super heat" on the liquid crystal display 51, it is suggested that the special role (BB1 to BB4) may have been won.

As mentioned above, in the internal middle RT, the probability that the re-gaming role will be won in the internal lottery is higher than in the normal state, and it is difficult to win the winning special role, so each during the precursory period Even if the stop operation is performed so as to stop the constituent symbols of the special role at the winning lines L1 to L5 in the game, it becomes difficult to determine whether or not the special role has been won. On the other hand, in the production RT as well, the probability that the re-game combination will be won in the internal lottery is high, so whether it is controlled by the internal middle RT from the winning probability of the re-game combination, the production RT. It is difficult to specify whether or not it is controlled by, and even when it is controlled by the staging RT, it is possible to maintain the expectation for winning the special role for a precursory period.

The sub control unit 91 starts the game when it is specified that the game state is controlled to any of the normal state, the staging RT, and the internal RT based on the command received from the main control unit 41. When it is specified that the operation of the start switch 7 is performed, a production lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute a predetermined effect and the type of the effect to be executed, and the type of effect won in the effect lottery. It is possible to control to perform the production.

As shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C, the staging target of the staging lottery includes a roulette staging, a judge staging, a double navigation staging, a continuous staging, a stage change suggestion staging, and the like. The roulette effect, the judge effect, and the double navigation effect are effects that display a plurality of options and display one of the options as a selection result so as to be identifiable, as will be described later. In addition, as will be described later, the continuous production suggests the possibility that the special role (BB to BB4) has been won in the internal lottery over a plurality of games, and whether or not the special role (BB to BB4) has been won is indicated by the plurality of games. This is a production suggested in the final game of the game. Further, the stage change suggestion effect is an effect that suggests the possibility of switching the stage in the normal effect, as will be described later.

In the ROM provided in the sub control unit 91, an effect lottery table in which a ratio for determining whether or not to execute each effect in the effect lottery is predetermined is stored, and the sub control unit 91 is stored in the main control unit 41. A staging lottery is performed based on the received command and the staging lottery table.

As shown in FIG. 7A, in the staging lottery, regarding the roulette staging, the judge staging, and the double navigation staging, the game situation (BB winning game (with one winning combination), BB winning game (without winning one card)). , The execution ratios (a1 to a20 in FIG. 7A) are determined to be executed for each precursor period (internal RT) and precursor period (RT for staging).

The execution ratio of each effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) is set so that the expectation that it is suggested that the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won for each effect is set to a predetermined value. The expectation of the double navigation effect Δ is higher than the expectation of other effects Ε, the expectation of the roulette effect Β is higher than the expectation of the double navigation effect Δ, and the expectation of the judge effect. The degree Γ is higher than the expected degree Β of the roulette staging (see Equation 2 in FIG. 7 (d)). The degree of expectation of each effect is the ratio (appearance rate) at which the effect is executed when the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won, and the rate (appearance rate) at which the effect is executed when the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won. It can be calculated by dividing by the sum of the rate) and the rate (appearance rate) at which the effect is executed when the special role (BB1 to BB4) is not won (see Equation 1 in FIG. 7 (d)).

Further, in the staging lottery, regarding the roulette staging, the ratio at which it is determined to execute the staging in a situation where the BB is established and one card combination is won at the same time (a1 in FIG. 7A). Regarding the double navigation effect, in the situation where it is a BB establishment game and one card combination is won at the same time, the ratio at which it is decided to execute the effect (a3 in FIG. 7A), and other effects. In a situation where the game is a BB establishment and one card combination is won at the same time, the ratio (a3 in FIG. 7A) for determining that the effect is to be executed is set to 0, respectively. On the other hand, regarding the judge effect, in a situation where the game is a BB establishment and one card combination is won at the same time, the ratio (a2 in FIG. 7A) at which the effect is determined to be executed is larger than 0. It is set to a value. As a result, it is suggested that the special combination (BB1, BB2) and the one-card combination that is always won at the same time may be won by executing the judge effect. When the judge effect is executed, the stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is performed at the timing when the symbol combination of the single card combination can be stopped at any of the winning lines L1 to L5, so that the single card combination can be stopped. Based on whether or not the symbol combination of is stopped at the winning lines L1 to L5, the player determines whether or not the special combination (BB1, BB2) has been won before the BB confirmation notification described later is performed. You can do it.

Further, in the effect lottery, the ratio at which the effect is determined to be executed in the situation where the roulette effect is controlled during the precursory period and the game state is controlled by the internal RT (FIG. 7 (a)). 9), and in a situation where the game state is controlled by the effect RT and the game state is controlled by the effect RT, the ratio (a13 in FIG. 7 (a)) at which the effect is determined to be executed is determined. It is set higher than the ratio (a17 in FIG. 7A) where it is determined to execute the effect in the normal state (see Equation 3 in FIG. 7D). Further, regarding the judge effect, the ratio at which it is determined to execute the effect in a situation where the effect is controlled during the precursory period and the gaming state is controlled by the internal RT (a10 in FIG. 7A). And in the situation where the game state is controlled by the effect RT while the game is controlled during the precursory period, the ratio (a14 in FIG. 7A) at which the effect is determined to be executed is the ratio under the normal state. It is set higher than the ratio at which the effect of performing the effect is determined (a18 in FIG. 7A) (see Equation 4 in FIG. 7D). Further, regarding the double navigation effect, the ratio at which it is determined to execute the effect in a situation where the effect is controlled during the precursory period and the game state is controlled by the internal middle RT (a11 in FIG. 7A). , And in a situation where the game state is controlled by the effect RT and the game state is controlled during the precursory period, the ratio at which the effect is determined to be executed (a15 in FIG. 7A) is in the normal state. It is set higher than the ratio at which the effect of performing the effect is determined (a19 in FIG. 7A) (see Equation 5 in FIG. 7D). As a result, in the precursory period, the frequency of performing the roulette effect, the judge effect, and the double navigation effect increases as compared with the normal state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, in the staging lottery, regarding the continuous staging, the situation of the game (the next game of the game in which the roulette staging or the judge staging is performed, the next game of the game in which the double navigation staging is performed, The ratio (a30 to a32 in FIG. 7B) that is determined to be executed is determined for each other game).

Regarding the continuous effect, the ratio (a30 in FIG. 7B) that is determined to be executed in the next game of the game in which the roulette effect or the judge effect is performed is executed in the next game of the game in which the double navigation effect is performed. It is set higher than the ratio (a31 in FIG. 7 (b)) in which it is determined to do so (see Equation 6 in FIG. 7 (d)).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), in the staging lottery, regarding the stage change suggestion staging, when the game situation (predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games, etc.) has elapsed since the previous stage switching), the later “WIN” will be described. When the roulette effect or the judge effect in which the options are displayed is executed, the ratio to be executed is determined for each ratio (when the roulette effect or the judge effect in which the "WIN" option is not displayed is executed) (FIG. 7 (Fig. 7). A40 to a42) in c) are defined.

Regarding the stage change suggestion effect, the "WIN" option is not displayed for the ratio (a40 in FIG. 7 (c)) that is determined to be executed in the game in which the "WIN" option is displayed and the roulette effect or the judge effect is performed. It is set higher than the ratio (a41 in FIG. 7 (c)) determined to be executed in the game in which the roulette effect or the judge effect is performed (see Equation 7 in FIG. 7 (d)).

Next, a staging lottery for determining the staging mode of the roulette staging will be described with reference to FIG.

In the above-mentioned staging lottery, the type of staging to be performed (roulette staging, judge staging, double navigation staging, continuous staging, stage change suggestion staging, other staging, etc.) is determined, and the staging mode to be performed is determined. It has become.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the roulette effects to be drawn in the effect lottery include roulette effects 1 to 7. Further, as described above, the roulette effect is an effect of displaying a plurality of options (4) and displaying one of the options in a identifiable manner as a selection result, and the options that can be displayed as a plurality of options include. A "WIN" option that suggests winning a special role (BB1 to BB4), a "chance" option that suggests the possibility that a special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won, and a "development" that suggests that it will be developed into a continuous production. "Choices,"? "Choices that suggest the possibility of loss are included.

In the staging lottery, the execution ratio is determined to be executed for each game situation (BB establishment game, precursor period (internal medium RT), precursor period (RT for staging)) for roulette effects 1 to 7 (FIG. 8 (Fig. 8). b1 to b28) in a) are defined respectively. Further, the ratio for determining whether or not to perform the above-mentioned stage change suggestion effect before the roulette effect is determined for each of the roulette effects 1 to 7 (b29 to b35 in FIG. 8A).

In the production lottery, the execution ratio at which it is determined to execute each of the roulette effects 1 to 7 is the expected degree that suggests that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won for each effect. Roulette effect 1 expectation β1, roulette effect 2 expectation β2, roulette effect 3 expectation β3, roulette effect 4 expectation β4, roulette effect 5 expectation β5, roulette The expectation degree β6 of the effect 6 and the expectation degree β7 of the roulette effect 7 are higher (see the formula 8 in FIG. 8B). Expectations β1 to β for each effect can be calculated based on the above-mentioned equation 1.

Further, in the effect lottery, the execution ratio (b8 to b14 in FIG. 8A) is determined to execute the roulette effects 1 to 7 in the game controlled in the precursory period in the internal middle RT after the BB establishment game. ) Is set higher than the execution ratio (b1 to b7 in FIG. 8A) determined to be executed in the BB establishment game (see Equation 9 in FIG. 8B), and the roulette effect is The frequency of execution in the precursory period after the BB establishment game is higher than that of the BB establishment game.

Further, in the effect lottery, the execution ratio (b29 to b32 in FIG. 8A) in which the stage change suggestion effect is executed when the roulette effects 1 to 4 in which the “WIN” option is displayed in a plurality of options is performed is determined. , "WIN" option is not displayed for multiple options Set to be higher than the execution rate (b33 to b35 in FIG. 8A) where the stage change suggestion effect is executed when the roulette effects 5 to 7 are performed. (See Equation 10 in FIG. 8 (b)).

Further, in the effect lottery, the roulette effect 2 is controlled during the precursory period in the execution ratio (b2 in FIG. 8A) determined to be executed in the BB establishment game and in the internal middle RT after the BB establishment game. The execution ratio (b9 in FIG. 8A) that is determined to be executed in the game is the execution ratio (b9 in FIG. 9A) that is determined to be executed in the BB establishment game for the judge effect 2 described later. It is set higher than c2) and the execution ratio (c9 in FIG. 9A) determined to be executed in the game controlled in the precursory period in the internal medium RT after the BB establishment game (FIG. 8). See equation 11 in (b)).

Further, in the effect lottery, the total value of the execution ratios (b5 to b7 in FIG. 8A) determined to be executed in the BB establishment game for the roulette effects 5 to 7 is the BB for the roulette effects 2 to 4.

It is possible to determine whether or not to execute any of the selection effects, including the judge effect, the roulette effect, and the double navigation effect, by the effect lottery.

In the selection effect, the sub control unit 91 of this embodiment has a special role (BB1 to BB4) won by an internal lottery on the main control unit 41 side, and it has been decided to shift to a special state as a privilege. In the state (BB establishment game and BB carry-over), it is possible to display the "WIN" option as a selection result so that it can be specified, while the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won in the internal lottery. However, in a state where it has not been decided to shift to a special state as a privilege, the "WIN" option is not displayed identifiable as a selection result.

In the sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment, a special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won in the selection effect, and it is decided to shift to the special state as a privilege, and the special role (BB1 to BB4). ) Has not been won and it has not been decided to move to a special state as a privilege, there is a possibility that the "chance" option will be displayed identifiable as a selection result. There is.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment has a configuration in which it is possible to determine whether or not to execute any of the selection effects including the judge effect, the roulette effect, and the double navigation effect by the effect lottery, and each selection. In the production, the "WIN" option that can be identifiable in the third part when it is decided to shift to the special state as a privilege (BB establishment game and carry-over of BB) and special as a privilege It can be identifiablely displayed in the third part in either the state where it is decided to shift to the state (during the BB establishment game and the carry-over of BB) or the state where it is not decided to shift to the special state. Both "chance" options may now be displayed in the first part.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment displays a plurality of options and executes a selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) for specifying one of the options as a selection result using the liquid crystal display 51. It is possible, and multiple options include a "WIN" option that suggests winning a special role (BB1 to BB4), and the selection staging includes a roulette staging and a judge staging that may display the "WIN" staging. , A double navigation effect that does not display the "WIN" option is included, and it is possible to determine whether or not to execute any of the selection effects by the effect lottery. In the staging lottery, the determined ratio of each selection staging is set so that the expectation of the roulette staging and the judge staging is higher than the expectation of the double navigation staging, and the roulette staging and the judge staging are executed. It is more likely that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won and it has been decided to shift to the special state as a privilege in this case than when the double navigation effect is executed.

Next, the control performed by the sub-control unit 91 in relation to the roulette effect, the judge effect, and the double navigation effect executed by winning the effect lottery will be described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, the roulette effect, the judge effect, and the double navigation effect may be collectively referred to as a selection effect.

As shown in FIG. 11, the main control unit 41 starts a game and performs an internal lottery by operating the start switch 7 in a state where a predetermined number of bets are set, and the internal lottery is performed. A command that can specify the winning result is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. Further, when the game is started, a command capable of specifying the game state to be controlled is transmitted to the sub control unit 91.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 performs the effect lottery based on the winning result of the internal lottery specified by the command received from the main control unit 41, the controlled game state, and the effect lottery table. Then, when it is determined in the effect lottery that the selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) is to be executed, the control of the selection effect is started.

In the control of the selection effect, first, the first part of the selection effect of the type determined by the effect lottery is started and waits. In the first part of each selection effect, as will be described later, a predetermined number of options (4 in the roulette effect of this embodiment, 2 in the judge effect and the double navigation effect) are selected according to the type of the selection effect. After displaying the images on the liquid crystal display 51 one by one, the liquid crystal display 51 displays all of the predetermined number of options and stands by.

In this state, the main control unit 41 stops by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R each time it is detected that the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are pressed for the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R whose rotation is controlled. A command that can identify that the operation has been performed is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 has a third stop operation (stop switches 8L, 8C, which stop the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotated in the game, based on the command received from the main control unit 41. When it is specified that the operation of the stop switch for stopping the reel is performed third among the operations of 8R, the selection effect is shifted from the first part to the second part. In the second part, as will be described later, control is performed so that none of the plurality of options displayed in the first part is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, when a predetermined time (10 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed from the start of the second part, the liquid crystal display is shifted from the second part to the third part so that the option as the selection result can be specified. Display on the display 51. After that, until it is specified that the start operation of the next game has been performed, the third part is controlled to be continued, and the option as the selection result is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 so as to be identifiable. To continue.

Further, the main control unit 41 detects the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, starts the stop control of the corresponding reels, and then stops the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Moreover, when the third stop operation is completed (when the state in which the stop switch related to the third stop operation is pressed is released), the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the winning lines L1 to L5 and a winning is generated. Performs a winning judgment process to determine whether or not the game is done. After that, a command that can identify whether or not a prize has been generated is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

On the other hand, when it is specified that the winning is generated based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 determines whether the progress of the selection effect is the second part or the second part. Regardless of whether it is three parts, it is controlled to perform a winning notification effect to notify that a winning has occurred. In the winning notification effect, the reel LED 55 is set to a predetermined winning notification mode (in this embodiment, the reel LED 55 corresponding to the winning line in which the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped is blinked) for a predetermined time (in this embodiment, the winning notification effect is performed). Control over 10 seconds). Then, when the predetermined time elapses, the winning notification effect ends.

Then, after the winning determination process is performed, the main control unit 41 starts the control of the next game by performing the start operation of the next game by the start switch 7 with the predetermined number of bets set. Then, a command that can identify that the next game has started is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 ends the third part of the selection effect when it is specified that the start operation of the next game has been performed based on the command received from the main control unit 41. , Control to end the display of the options as the selection result in the third part.

As described above, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment displays the liquid crystal display 51 for the selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) that displays a plurality of options and specifies one of the options as the selection result. The selection effect can be executed by using the first part in which a plurality of options are displayed, the second part in which no option is displayed after the first part, and the selection effect after the second part. It is a configuration including a third part in which the resulting options are identifiable and displayed.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment starts the third part when the third stop operation is performed by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the selection effect, and displays the options as the selection result. The display of the options as the selection result is continued even after a predetermined time elapses after the third stop operation is completed (after the stop switch of the third stop operation is released).

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment can execute the winning notification effect of notifying that a winning has occurred by using the reel LED 55.

The sub control unit 91 of this embodiment wins the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped and the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is completed. When the combination of symbols of the winning combination is stopped and a winning is generated, the winning notification effect is executed, and after the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is completed (the stop switch of the third stop operation). After being released), the winning notification effect is terminated after a predetermined time has elapsed.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment is in the case where a prize is generated when the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is completed in the situation where the second part of the selection effect is being performed. Executes the winning notification effect when the second part is being performed, and when the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is completed in the situation where the third part is being performed, the winning is awarded. If it has occurred, the winning notification effect is executed when the third part is being performed.

Next, regarding the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91, an example in which the "WIN" option is identifiable as a selection result in the third part of the selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) will be described. This will be described with reference to FIG.

The sub control unit 91 performs the above-mentioned effect lottery at the start of the game based on the command received from the main control unit 41, and determines the effect to be executed. In the staging lottery, in the BB establishment game in which it is specified that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won in the internal lottery, or in the precursory period (internal middle RT) in which the winning of the special role (BB1 to BB4) is carried over. At a certain time, it is possible to determine in the third part that a selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) for displaying the "WIN" option as a selection result can be specified.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the judge effect 1 that displays the "WIN" option identifiable as the selection result is won in the effect lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the judge effect 1 in the game, and the second By displaying the "WIN" option as a selection result on the liquid crystal display 51 so as to be able to be specified in the three parts, it is suggested that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won.

Then, the sub-control unit 91 performs a start operation of the next game of the game in which the "WIN" option is identifiable as a selection result in the selection effect, and after the selection effect is terminated, the sub-control unit 91 has a special role. The liquid crystal display 51 is controlled to display a confirmation screen suggesting that (BB1 to BB4) have been won. After that, when a predetermined time elapses from the time when the confirmation screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the display of the confirmation screen is terminated and the BB combination suggestion effect is started.

In the BB combination suggestion effect, a combination suggestion screen (for example, "Red 7-Red") suggesting a symbol combination of special roles (BB1 to BB4) that are specified to be elected based on a command received from the main control unit 41. 7-Red 7 "image, etc.) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Although not shown in particular, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment wins a roulette effect 1 or a double navigation effect 1 that identifiablely displays the "WIN" option as a selection effect in the effect lottery, and these selection effects are selected. Even when the execution is executed and the "WIN" option is displayed identifiable as the selection result in the third part, the confirmation screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the next game in which the "WIN" option is displayed. After that, the BB combination suggestion effect is executed.

As described above, when the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment displays the "WIN" option as a selection result in the third part of the selection effect so as to be identifiable, the sub-control unit 91 is the next game of the game in which the selection effect is executed. A confirmation screen suggesting that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that it is decided to grant the privilege.

Next, regarding the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91, it is specified that the specific role (cherry, watermelon, chance replay) has been won, or the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won, so that the precursor period An example of the case of being controlled by the above will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the sub control unit 91 is specified to shift the game state to the staging RT or the internal middle RT at the end of the game based on the command received from the main control unit 41. Is a sign that the frequency of execution of selection effects (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) increases from the next game of the game to a predetermined number of games (up to 4 games in this embodiment) compared to the normal state. Controlled by the period, it suggests the possibility that the special role (BB1 to BB4) was won.

In the precursory period, the selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) is determined by the effect lottery, and the selection effect determined to be executed is controlled to be performed.

A selection effect won in the effect lottery, for example, a special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won in the internal lottery, and a judge effect can be executed to specify the "WIN" option as the selection result in the third part. When it is displayed, it is controlled to execute the BB combination suggestion effect after displaying the confirmation screen in the next game of the game as described above.

On the other hand, the selection effect won in the effect lottery, for example, the roulette effect and the double navigation effect is executed, and as the selection result in the third part, the "chance" option, the "development" option, the "?" Option, and the color navigation option are selected. When any of them is displayed in a identifiable manner, it is controlled so that the confirmation screen is not displayed in the next game of the game and the BB combination suggestion effect is not executed.

In addition, in the game during the precursory period, when the selection effect won in the effect lottery, for example, the roulette effect is executed and the "development" option is displayed identifiable as the selection result in the third part, the relevant case is concerned. In the next game of the game, the continuous production is started, and the continuous production is controlled to be executed over a predetermined number of games (3 games in this embodiment), and there is a possibility that the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won. Suggest. Then, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the result image notifying whether or not the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won in the final game of the continuous production.

In addition, in the game during the precursory period, if it is not decided in the effect lottery to execute the selection effect that displays the "development" option as a selection result in the third part so as to be identifiable, the effect period In the next game of the final game, the continuous effect is started, the continuous effect is executed over a predetermined number of games (3 games in this embodiment), and the result image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the final game of the continuous effect. To control.

Then, when the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won, the BB combination suggestion effect is executed after the confirmation screen is displayed in the next game of the game in which the result screen is displayed by the continuous effect. To control. On the other hand, when the special roles (BB1 to BB4) are not won, the normal effect is controlled in the next game of the game in which the result screen is displayed by the continuous effect.

The yellow navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the bell or the blue navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the replay is displayed. When the bell is won in the internal lottery, the yellow navigation option image is displayed in the second area, and when the replay is won, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area, and the cherry, watermelon, etc. When any of the chance replays is won, the option image of either the yellow navigation option image or the blue option image is determined by lottery and displayed in the second area. After that, either the purple navigation option image and the yellow navigation option image or the blue navigation option image is displayed identifiable as the selection result.

As shown in FIG. 16 (c), in the double navigation effect C, the sub control unit 91 displays a yellow navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the bell or a blue navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the replay in the first area. At the same time, the green navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the watermelon is displayed in the second area. When the bell is won in the internal lottery, the yellow navigation option image is displayed in the first area, and when the replay is won, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area. After that, either the yellow navigation option image or the blue navigation option image and the green navigation option image are displayed identifiable as the selection result.

As shown in FIG. 3D, in the double navigation effect D, the sub control unit 91 displays a green navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the watermelon in the first area, and the cherry, watermelon, and chance in the second area. Display the purple navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the replay. After that, either the green navigation option image or the purple navigation option image is displayed identifiable as the selection result.

When it is determined in the above-mentioned effect lottery that the double navigation effect 7 is to be executed, the sub control unit 91 determines which of the double navigation effects A to D is to be executed. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the execution ratios of the selection suggestion effect and the double navigation effect. The selection suggestion effect will be described later.

When the bell is won by the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect A with an 80% probability, executes the double navigation effect B with a 15% probability, and has a 5% probability of executing the double navigation effect. Execute C. When the replay is won, the double navigation effect D is not executed.

When the replay is won by the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect A with an 80% probability, executes the double navigation effect B with a 15% probability, and has a 5% probability of executing the double navigation effect. Execute C. When the replay is won, the double navigation effect D is not executed.

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

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

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

When the cherry is won in the internal lottery, the cherry may not be won depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the button). In addition, when a watermelon is won in the internal lottery, 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 bell, replay, or 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, when the cherry is won and when the watermelon is won, it is necessary to push the button to win the prize, whereas when the bell, replay, and chance replay are won, the push is not necessary and the operation procedure and operation timing You can win a prize regardless (no omissions).

For this reason, when a cherry or watermelon is won, it is necessary to warn the player that it is necessary to push the eyes. For this reason, if a cherry or watermelon is won, a double navigation effect including a purple navigation option image (suggesting that either cherry, watermelon, or chance replay may be won) is executed. The execution ratio of the double navigation effect including the red navigation option image (suggesting that the cherry is winning) and the green navigation option image (suggesting that the watermelon is winning) is higher than the ratio. It is set. The red navigation option image or the green navigation option image suggests that a push is necessary.

Specifically, when the watermelon is won, when the navigation option image corresponding to the replay or the watermelon winning is performed, the probability of executing the double navigation effect C by the blue navigation option image and the green navigation option image (20%). ) Is higher than the probability (0%) of executing the double navigation effect A by the blue navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. As described above, when the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect C are compared, when the watermelon is won, the green navigation option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

In addition, when the cherry is won, if the navigation option image corresponding to the replay or the winning of the cherry is performed, the probability (20%) of executing the double navigation effect C by the blue navigation option image and the red navigation option image. However, it is higher than the probability (0%) of executing the double navigation effect A by the blue navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. As described above, when the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect C are compared, when the cherry is won, the red navigation option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

In addition, when the watermelon is won, when displaying the navigation option image corresponding to the chance replay or the watermelon winning, the probability (60%) of executing the double navigation effect D by the green navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. Is higher than the probability (20%) of executing the double navigation effect B by the blue navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. As described above, when the double navigation effect B and the double navigation effect D are compared, when the watermelon is won, the green navigation option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

In addition, when the cherry is won, when displaying the navigation option image corresponding to the chance replay or the winning of the cherry, the probability (60%) of executing the double navigation effect D by the red navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. Is higher than the probability (20%) of executing the double navigation effect B by the blue navigation option image and the red navigation option image. As described above, when the double navigation effect B and the double navigation effect D are compared, when the cherry is won, the red navigation option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

Further, when the chance replay is won, the double navigation effect C and the double navigation effect D in which the green navigation option image is performed are not executed. By doing so, when the green navigation option image is displayed, the player becomes aware of pressing the eyes, so that the eyes can be appropriately pressed.

Further, when the chance replay is won, the double navigation effect C and the double navigation effect D in which the red navigation option image is performed are not executed. By doing so, when the red navigation option image is displayed, the player becomes aware of pressing the eyes, so that the eyes can be appropriately pressed.

On the other hand, for example, when the double navigation effect A (blue navigation option image and purple navigation option image) that does not include the green navigation option image is executed, the player has the impression that there is no need to press the button. I often have it. In particular, since the probability of winning is higher in the replay without missing than in the cherry and watermelon, the player has the impression that there is no need to press the button when the double navigation effect including the blue navigation option image is executed. Cheap.

For this reason, when the double navigation effect A that displays the blue navigation option image in the first area and the purple navigation option image in the second area is executed, the highest probability (80) when the replay is won. %), 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 executing the double navigation effect A.

Further, when the replay is won, the double navigation effect A is executed with the highest probability (80%), so that the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image. Further, when the double navigation effect A is executed and the purple navigation option image is selected, there is a possibility that any one of cherry, watermelon, and chance replay has been won. However, since the execution probability (0%) of the double navigation effect A when the watermelon is won is set lower than the execution probability (50%) of the double navigation effect A when the chance replay is won. If the purple navigation option image is selected, it is highly possible that the chance replay has been won.

As described above, when the double navigation effect A in which the blue navigation option image is performed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area is executed, the blue color is higher than that of the purple navigation option image. The navigation option image is selected. Also, if the purple navigation option image is selected, it is highly possible that the chance replay has been won. By doing this, even if the player does not push, there is a high possibility that he will win a replay or chance replay without missing, so the advantage of the player will not be impaired as much as possible. Can be.

Further, when the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B are compared, when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area, the item image in the blue mode (in this embodiment, the image of the juice in the glass) is displayed. On the other hand, when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area (FIG. 16A), the item image in a blue form different from that displayed in the first area (in this embodiment, the dish). (Image of the cake placed on the image) is displayed (FIG. 16 (b)), so that the blue navigation option image is displayed in different modes from each other. By doing so, the display modes are diversified, and the fun of the game can be improved.

Further, the display mode is the same in both the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the first area (FIG. 16 (b)) and the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area (FIG. 16 (a)). The item image of is displayed as a purple navigation option image. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying when the highly advantageous cherry, watermelon, or chance replay is won.

Here, when the replay is won in the inside until the BB is won and the BB is won, the double navigation effect C is more likely to be selected than the double navigation effect A. Specifically, in the non-internal environment, as shown in FIG. 17, when the replay is won, the execution probability of the double navigation effect A is 80%, and the execution probability of the double navigation effect C is 5%. On the other hand, inside, the execution probability of the double navigation effect C is higher than the execution probability of the double navigation effect A. That is, when the double navigation effect C is executed when the replay is won, there is a high possibility that the player is inside (winning the BB), which is highly advantageous to the player.

Next, the selection suggestion effect that can be performed during the execution of the double navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the selection suggestion effect at the same time when the double navigation effect is executed. The sub-control unit 91 corresponds to the winning result having a high advantage before either the navigation option image in the first area or the navigation option image in the second area is selected in the selection suggestion effect. Suggests that an image is selected.

As shown in FIG. 17, when the double navigation effect is executed when the replay is won, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 10%. If the double navigation effect is executed when the chance replay is won, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 60%. If the double navigation 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 when the chance replay or watermelon is won, which has a higher advantage than the replay, the winning result with a high advantage is obtained by executing the selection suggestion effect. It is suggested that the navigation option image corresponding to is selected.

For example, as shown in FIG. 18, in the double navigation effect A, one of the blue navigation option image in the first region and the purple navigation option image in the second region is selected (before FIG. 18 (f)). In addition, a selection suggestion effect (FIG. 18 (c)) suggesting that the purple navigation option image corresponding to the chance replay winning with a high advantage is selected is executed. In this embodiment, as the selection suggestion effect, the purple navigation option image is changed more than before the selection suggestion effect is executed, and the purple navigation is controlled to a light emitting mode that can be visually recognized as if it is emitting light. By displaying the option image more emphasized than the blue navigation option image, it is suggested that the purple navigation option image is selected.

Next, the production modes of various double navigation effects will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 24.

FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an example of the double navigation effect A. It is assumed that the replay or chance replay is won by operating the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the double navigation effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 18A, by executing the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. Further, by operating the start switch 7, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start to rotate.

As shown in FIG. 18B, two replay symbols are stopped on the winning line L2 by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel. As a result, the symbol combination of the replay (“replay-replay-replay”) and the symbol combination of the chance replay (“replay-replay-bell”) can be stopped at the winning line L2.

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. 18 (c). As described above, the probability that the selection suggestion effect is executed is 10% at the time of winning the replay and 60% at the time of winning the chance replay. Therefore, it is suggested that the purple navigation option image is more likely to be selected than the blue navigation option image by executing the selection suggestion effect. That is, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that the chance replay, which has a higher advantage than when the replay is won (there is a possibility of being won at the same time as the BB), is won.

Next, as shown in FIG. 18D, when the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, the double navigation effect is shifted from the first part to the second part to display a whiteout image, and then. By further shifting the double navigation effect from the second part to the third part after the lapse of a predetermined time, the state changes to the state of FIG. 18 (e) or FIG. 18 (f) depending on the winning result of the internal winning. ..

Further, while the first part of the double navigation effect is being performed, the sub-control is performed by performing the third stop operation (pressing operation of the stop switch related to the third stop operation) by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. While the second part of the double navigation effect is started on the unit 91 side, the stop control for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the third stop operation is started on the main control unit 41 side, for example, inside. When the replay is won by lottery, the stop control is performed so that the constituent symbols of the winning replay are drawn in and stopped in preference to the winning lines L1 to L5 (see FIG. 18 (d)). .. The sub control unit 91 controls the progress of the second part of the double navigation effect independently of the reel stop control by the main control unit 41, so that the reel rotation position when the third stop operation is performed. Depending on the situation, the reel corresponding to the third stop operation may be stopped while the second part of the double navigation effect is being performed, or the third stop operation may be stopped while the third part of the double navigation effect is being performed. The corresponding reel may stop.

Further, on the main control unit 41 side, when the rotation of all reels is stopped and the third stop operation is completed, that is, when the stop switch related to the third stop operation is released and the pressing operation is completed. , The winning determination process is performed, and a command capable of specifying the winning determination result is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. On the other hand, when it is specified that a winning of any of the winning combinations has occurred based on the command, the sub control unit 91 controls the winning notification effect for a predetermined time, and sets the reel LED 55 as a winning notification mode. (See FIGS. 18 (e) and 18 (f)). At this time, the sub control unit 91 independently controls the double navigation effect and the prize notification effect, so that the timing at which the command that can specify the result of the prize determination is received from the main control unit 41, that is, all Depending on the timing when the reel is stopped and the third stop operation is completed, the winning notification effect can be performed while the second part of the double navigation effect is being performed, or the third part of the double navigation effect is performed. In the middle of the process, a prize-winning notification may be produced.

If the replay was won by the internal lottery when the lever was turned on, as shown in FIG. 18 (e), the blue navigation option image was selected, and the blue navigation option image was displayed in the first part. Is also displayed in a large display mode. In addition, the replay symbol is stopped on the winning line L2 on the right reel by the third stop operation, and the replay winning is generated. In addition, it is not necessary to press the button to win the replay. Further, as described above, in the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

If the chance replay is won by the internal lottery when the lever is ON, the purple navigation option image is selected and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first part as shown in FIG. 18 (f). It is displayed in a larger display mode. In addition, the image of the bell is stopped on the winning line L2 on the right reel by the third stop operation, and the chance replay winning is generated. In addition, it is not necessary to push the prize to win the chance replay.

As described above, in the double navigation effect, when the symbol combination is stopped by the third stop operation (FIGS. 18 (e) and 18 (f)), the navigation option image (blue navigation option image) and the first navigation option image in the first area are used. One of the navigation option image (purple navigation option image) in the two areas is selected, which suggests the winning result.

Further, in the selection suggestion effect, when the blue navigation option image is performed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area, the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image. Will be done. Also, when the purple navigation option image is selected, the percentage of winning chance replays is higher than the percentage of winning watermelons.

Next, a comparative example between the double navigation effect B and the double navigation effect D will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. 19 and 20 are diagrams for explaining a comparative example between the double navigation effect B and the double navigation effect D. 19 (a) to 19 (d) explain the production mode of the double navigation effect B when the chance replay is won, and FIGS. 20 (a) to 20 (e) show the double navigation effect D when the watermelon is won. The mode of production will be described.

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

As shown in FIG. 19A, by executing the double navigation effect B, the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area. ..

As shown in FIG. 19B, 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 either replay or chance replay can be won. In this example, when the symbol is stopped on 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, as shown in FIG. 19C, the double navigation effect is shifted from the first part to the second part to display a whiteout image, and then a predetermined time elapses. By further shifting the double navigation effect from the second part to the third part, the purple navigation option image is selected in the third part. In addition, the bell symbol is stopped on the winning line L2 on the right reel, which causes a chance replay winning. In addition, it is not necessary to push the prize to win the chance replay.

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

As shown in FIG. 20A, by executing the double navigation effect D, the green navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. The display of the green navigation option image suggests that the watermelon may have been elected. In addition, the display of the green navigation option image suggests that it is necessary to press the button.

As shown in FIG. 19B, by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel, two replay symbols are stopped on the winning line L2, and the watermelon symbol is placed on the winning line L4. Stop two. This indicates that either replay or watermelon 1 can be won.

Further, when the symbol is stopped on the middle reel by the second stop operation, the selection suggestion effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 19 (c). As described above, the probability that the selection suggestion effect is executed is 60% when the chance replay is won, and 90% when the chance replay is won. Therefore, the selection suggestion is obtained when the watermelon as described in FIGS. 20 (a) to 20 (e) is won, rather than when the chance replay as described in FIGS. 19 (a) to 19 (d) is won. The production is easy to execute.

In order to win the watermelon in the third stop operation, it is necessary to push the watermelon. Since the green navigation option image is displayed, the player pushes the watermelon, which is the winning symbol on the right reel, to stop at the winning line L4. When the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, as shown in FIG. 20 (d), the double navigation effect is shifted from the first part to the second part to display a whiteout image, and then a predetermined time elapses. By further shifting the double navigation effect from the second part to the third part, the green navigation option image is selected in the third part of the double navigation effect as shown in FIG. 20 (e). If the push is successful, the watermelon symbol is stopped on the winning line L4 on the right reel, and the watermelon wins.

In this way, in the double navigation effect, when the symbol combination is stopped by the third stop operation (FIGS. 19 (d) and 20 (e)), the navigation option image in the first area and the navigation option in the second area are used. One of the images is selected.

Further, when the double navigation effect B and the double navigation effect D are compared, when the watermelon is won, the green navigation option image is displayed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

Next, the display modes of the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B will be described with reference to FIG. 21. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the difference between the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B and the display mode. FIG. 21 (a) describes the effect mode of the double navigation effect A, and FIG. 21 (b) describes the effect mode of the double navigation effect B.

When the double navigation effect A is executed, as shown in FIG. 21A, a blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and a purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. To. On the other hand, when the double navigation effect B is executed, as shown in FIG. 21B, a purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and a blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area. Is displayed.

Comparing the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B, a predetermined item image is displayed as a blue navigation option image in the first area (FIG. 21A), whereas in the second area, the second item image is displayed. An item image having a mode different from the item image displayed in one area is displayed as a blue navigation option image (FIG. 21 (b)). In this way, when the blue navigation option image is performed, the navigation option image is performed in different modes in the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B.

On the other hand, the same mode is used in both the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the first region (FIG. 20 (a)) and the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the second region (FIG. 20 (b)). The predetermined item image is displayed as a purple navigation option image. In this way, when the purple navigation option image is performed, the navigation option image is performed in the same manner in the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B.

Next, a comparison between the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect C when the replay is won will be described with reference to FIG. 22. FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example between the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect C when the replay is won. When the replay is won, FIGS. 22 (a) to 22 (c) explain an example of executing the double navigation effect A, and FIGS. 22 (d) to 22 (f) execute the double navigation effect D. An example is given. In this embodiment, since the replay is won, the blue navigation option image is finally selected in any case. In FIG. 24, the illustration of the second part of the double navigation effect is omitted.

First, the production mode of the double navigation effect A when the replay is won will be described. It is assumed that the replay is won by turning on the lever, and the execution of the double navigation effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 22A, by executing the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. As shown in FIG. 22B, two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line L2 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. 22C, the blue navigation option image is selected, the replay symbol is also stopped on the winning line L2 for the right reel, and the replay wins.

Next, an effect mode of the double navigation effect C when the replay is won will be described. It is assumed that the replay is won by turning on the lever, and the execution of the double navigation effect C is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 22D, by executing the double navigation effect C, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the green navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. As shown in FIG. 22 (e), two replay symbols are aligned on the winning line L2 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 because the green navigation option image is performed. However, since the replay is actually won, reel control is performed to draw the replay symbol into the winning line LN. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22 (f), the blue navigation option image is selected by the third stop operation of the right reel, and the replay symbol is derived on the winning line LN, and the replay wins the prize.

In such a case, from the player's point of view, the watermelon is not won even though the green navigation option image is displayed and the watermelon is aimed at winning the prize, and as a result, the watermelon design combination is not won. Since the player does not stop on any of the winning lines L1 to L5, the player feels a lot of stress. However, as described above, when the double navigation effect C is executed when the replay is won, the inside is more advantageous to the player than when the double navigation effect A is executed. There is a high possibility.

That is, in the double navigation effect C, when the blue navigation option image is displayed and the blue navigation option image is selected (replay winning) after the green navigation option image is displayed (FIGS. 22 (d) to (f)). , Compared to the case where the blue navigation option image is displayed and the blue navigation option image is selected (replay winning) after the purple navigation option image is displayed in the double navigation effect A (FIGS. 22 (a) to (c)). The advantage is high. By doing so, the stress of the player can be reduced.

Next, a comparative example depending on whether or not the double navigation effect is executed will be described with reference to FIG. 23. FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example between the case where the double navigation effect is executed and the case where the double navigation effect is not executed. 23 (a) and 23 (b) explain an example in which the double navigation effect is executed, and FIGS. 23 (c) and 23 (d) explain an example in which the double navigation effect is not executed. In FIG. 23, the illustration of the second part of the double navigation effect is omitted.

First, an example in which the double navigation 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 double navigation effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 23A, by executing the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. The purple navigation option image corresponds to the chance replay or the winning of the watermelon. In addition, since chance replay or watermelon may be won at the same time as BB, the possibility of winning BB is suggested by the purple navigation option image. As shown in FIG. 23B, when all reels are stopped, the purple navigation option image is selected and the chance replay wins.

Next, an example in which the double navigation effect is not executed will be described. It is assumed that when the lever is turned on, the special combination (BB1, BB2) and the one-card combination that is always won at the same time are won. When the one-card combination is won, the double navigation effect is not executed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), the navigation option image is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in FIG. 23 (d), by aiming the watermelon at the winning lines L1 to L5 and pushing the eyes, when all the reels are stopped, the symbol combination of one piece is stopped at the winning line. One piece wins a prize. The BB winning is suggested by the fact that the symbol combination of the one-card combination stops at the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

The one-card role is a role that is always won at the same time as the special role (BB1, B2), and is a winning role that has a higher advantage than the replay. However, as described in FIGS. 23 (a) and 23 (b), the double navigation effect can be executed when the watermelon or chance replay is won, whereas when the one-card combination is won, FIG. 23 ( c) As explained in (d), the double navigation 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 suggests the winning of the BB) by the symbol combination stopped at the time of winning. It is something to do. By doing so, it is possible to give unexpectedness to the stop of the symbol combination of one piece combination.

Next, an example of the effect in which the continuous effect is controlled after the double navigation effect is executed will be described with reference to FIG. 24.

In the above-mentioned effect lottery, it is possible to determine that the continuous effect is to be performed from the next game of the game in which the selection effect is performed. For example, at the start of the game in which the double navigation effect is executed, the next game of the game is performed. May make a decision to perform continuous production.

As shown in FIG. 24, when it is determined that the sub-control unit 91 executes the continuous effect in the next game of the game in which the double-navigation effect is executed, for example, the sub-control unit 91 is purple in the third part of the double-navigation effect. After the navigation options are identifiable as the selection result (see FIG. 24 (a)), the shutter image covering the option image as the selection result is displayed and the option image is shielded (FIG. 24 (b). )), A "development" option image suggesting that the continuous production is developed is displayed, and then the start operation of the next game is performed to control the continuous production to be started.

As a result, even after the selection result option is specified in the third part, the effect content may change to suggest a continuous effect. Therefore, even after the selection result option is specified in the third part. Further development can be expected.

As described above, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment has two options selected from the color navigation options (yellow navigation option, blue navigation option, red navigation option, green navigation option, purple navigation option) as a plurality of options. Can be displayed, and a double navigation effect of displaying any option as a selection result can be executed by using the liquid crystal display 51.

In the double navigation effect, the first part in which multiple options are displayed, the second part in which none of the options are displayed after the first part, and the options as the selection result can be specified after the second part. It is a configuration including the third part to be performed.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment selects from a plurality of options (“WIN” option, “chance” option, “development” option, “?” Option, color navigation option) in the third part of the double navigation effect. Only the resulting choices are displayed, and the selection result choices are displayed in a larger size than when displayed in the first part.

In the first part of the double navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment displays a predetermined number (two) of options one by one, and finally displays all of the predetermined number of options. ing.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment is adapted to display a whiteout screen on the liquid crystal display 51 in order to switch the display in the second part of the double navigation effect.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment starts the first part of the double navigation effect when the player operates the start switch 7 to start the game, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are used. When the first stop operation and the second stop operation are performed, the second part of the double navigation effect is not started, and when the third stop operation is performed by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the second stop operation is performed. It is designed to start the part.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment is performing the first part of the double navigation effect, and when the third stop operation is performed by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the second part of the double navigation effect is performed. Is started, and after the second part is started, the third part of the double navigation effect is started when a predetermined time has elapsed.

In the double navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment includes the "WIN" option displayed in a black mode suggesting the winning of the special combination (BB3, BB4), and the special option, among the plurality of options that can be displayed. Includes a "WIN" option displayed in a white mode suggesting winning a special role (BB1, BB2) with a higher advantage than the role (BB3, BB4).

[About the production mode of continuous production]
An effect mode of the continuous effect executed by the sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 25.

The continuous production is performed over a predetermined number of games (3 games in this embodiment) from the game in which the start condition of the continuous production is satisfied as described above, and the result screen is displayed in the final game to display the special role (BB1 to BB4). ) Will be notified. The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment performs a battle effect in which the ally character A and the enemy character B confront each other as a continuous effect.

As shown in FIG. 25A, a start image showing that the continuous production is started when the game that is the first game of the continuous production is started (in this embodiment, the ally character A and the enemy character B are The confronting image) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. After that, the battle effect is executed by displaying the confrontation image (for example, see FIGS. 25 (b) and 25 (c)) in which the ally character and the enemy character confront each other from the first game to the third game of the continuous effect, and the content of the battle effect. It is suggested that the special roles (BB1 to BB4) may have been elected according to the difference between the two. Then, when the special roles (BB1 to BB4) are won, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), after the third stop operation is performed in the final game (third game) of the continuous production, after the third stop operation is performed.

The sub-control unit 91 has a special role (BB1 to BB4) won by an internal lottery on the main control unit 41 side in the selection effect, and the sub-control unit 91 is to be transferred to a special state as a privilege. In the state where is determined (BB establishment game and BB carry-over), it is possible to display the "WIN" option as a selection result so that it can be specified, while special roles (BB1 to BB4) are displayed in the internal lottery. In the state where the player has not won and it has not been decided to shift to the special state as a privilege, the "WIN" option is not displayed identifiable as the selection result, and the special role (BB1 to BB4) is not displayed in the selection effect. Has been won and it has been decided to move to a special state as a privilege, and special roles (BB1 to BB4) have not been won and it has not been decided to move to a special state as a privilege. In any of the states, the "chance" option may be displayed identifiable as a selection result.

According to this configuration, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the "WIN" option (first option) for which the grant of the privilege is confirmed is identifiablely displayed as the selection result in the third part of the selection effect.

The main control unit 41 of this embodiment has a configuration that can be transferred to a special state as a privilege when a special combination (BB1 to BB4) is won, and the sub control unit 91 has a special combination (BB) by an internal lottery. The possibility that ~ BB4) has been won, that is, the possibility that it has been decided to move to a special state as a privilege is suggested over multiple games, and whether or not it has been decided to move to the special state is the final of multiple games. The configuration is such that the continuous effect suggested in the game can be executed by using the liquid crystal display 51, and the sub-control unit 91 is set to "when the special role (BB to BB4) is won in the continuous effect. By displaying the character image of "WIN", it is suggested that the special role (BB to BB4) has been won by using the character of "WIN" that can identify that the special role (BB to BB4) has been won. do. Further, the sub-control unit 91 can display a plurality of options and execute a selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect) for specifying one of the options as a selection result by using the liquid crystal display 51. The plurality of options include the "WIN" option (first option), and when the state is determined to be transferred to the special state as a privilege (BB establishment game and BB carry-over), the selection result is "WIN". The configuration is such that the options can be displayed in a identifiable manner, and the display mode of the "WIN" option is a mode in which the characters "WIN" used in the continuous production are used.

According to this configuration, the "WIN" option is displayed in a mode using the characters "WIN", which is specific information that can be used for continuous production and that it is determined to shift to a special state as a privilege. Therefore, it can be recognized that the "WIN" option suggests that it is determined to grant the privilege.

In this embodiment, the display mode of the "WIN" option used for the selection effect and the display mode of the character image of the "WIN" used in the continuous effect are configured to have similar character information, shape, and color. However, it suffices if at least one of the elements of character information, shape, and color is similar.

The main control unit 41 of this embodiment has a configuration that can be transferred to a special state as a privilege by winning a special combination (BB1 to BB4), and the sub control unit 91 displays a plurality of options and eventually It is possible to execute the selection effect of specifying the option as the selection result by using the liquid crystal display 51, and the selection effect includes any of the selection effect including the judge effect, the roulette effect, and the double navigation effect. In the staging lottery, when it is decided to execute the judge staging, a special role (BB1) among a plurality of options is selected as a selection result. ~ BB4) The ratio (c1 and c8 in FIG. 8) that determines to display the "WIN" option suggesting winning is multiple as the selection result when it is determined to execute the roulette effect. When it is decided to display the "WIN" option identifiable among the options (b1 and b8 in FIG. 8) and to execute the double navigation effect, a plurality of options are selected as the selection result. Of these, the ratio is set higher than the ratio (d1 and d8 in FIG. 8) that determines that the "WIN" option is displayed in a identifiable manner (see Equation 17 and Equation 18 in FIG. 9B), and is special as a privilege. When the judge effect is executed when it is decided to shift to the state, it is better than when the roulette effect and double navigation effect are executed when it is decided to shift to the special state as a privilege. Also, in the third part, the ratio of the "WIN" option being identifiable among the plurality of options as the selection result is high.

According to this configuration, it is decided that when the judge effect (first selection effect) is executed when it is determined to shift to the special state as a privilege, it is determined to shift to the special state as a privilege. Compared to when the roulette effect and double navigation effect (second selection effect) are executed while the user is present, the ratio of the "WIN" option among the multiple options displayed as the selection result is higher, so the judge effect is By being executed, it is possible to raise the expectation that the "WIN" option is specified as a selection result, that is, it is decided to move to a special state as a privilege.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can display a plurality of options and execute a selection effect of specifying one of the options as a selection result by using the liquid crystal display 51. It includes a judge effect, a roulette effect, and a double navigation effect, and multiple options include a "WIN" option that suggests winning a special role (BB1 to BB4). The displayed "WIN" option has a configuration different from that of the "WIN" option displayed in the roulette effect and the double navigation effect (second selection effect).

According to this configuration, the "WIN" option is displayed in different display modes for the judge effect (first selection effect), the roulette effect, and the double navigation effect (second selection effect), so that the interest of each effect is enhanced. Can be done.

In this embodiment, the "WIN" option displayed in the judge effect (first selection effect) is different from the "WIN" option displayed in the roulette effect and the double navigation effect (second selection effect). However, the "WIN" option displayed in the roulette effect may be displayed in a display mode different from the "WIN" option displayed in the double navigation effect.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can display a plurality of options and execute a selection effect of specifying one of the options as a selection result by using the liquid crystal display 51. It is a configuration that can decide whether or not to execute one of the selection effects, including the judge effect, the roulette effect, and the double navigation effect, by the effect lottery, and each selection effect shifts to a special state as a privilege. The "WIN" option that can be identifiable in the third part when it is in the determined state (BB establishment game and BB carry-over), and the state that it is decided to shift to the special state as a privilege. Both the "chance" option that can be identifiable in the third part in either the (BB establishment game and the carry-over of the BB) and the state in which the transition to the special state has not been decided is the first part. It is a configuration that may be displayed in. In the production lottery, the ratio (c1 to c7 in FIG. 9) that determines that the judge effect is to be executed in the game (BB establishment game) that is determined to be transferred to the special state as a privilege is to be transferred to the special state. Is set higher than the ratio (c8 to c14 in FIG. 9) in which it is determined to execute the judge effect in the game (precursor period (internal RT)) after the determination is made (FIG. 9 (b)). ), The judge effect is executed in a game in which it is decided to grant a privilege is higher than a ratio executed in a game after it is determined to grant a privilege. .. In addition, in the production lottery, the ratio at which it is determined to execute the roulette effect in the game (precursor period (internal RT)) after it is determined to shift to the special state as a privilege (b8 to b14 in FIG. 8). Is set higher than the ratio (b1 to b7 in FIG. 8) in which it is determined to execute the roulette effect in the game (BB establishment game) in which it is determined to shift to the special state (FIG. 8). (B) Refer to Equation 9), the roulette effect is executed in the game after it is decided to give the privilege, is higher than the ratio executed in the game in which it is decided to give the privilege. ing. In addition, in the production lottery, the ratio (d8 to d14 in FIG. 9) in which it is determined to execute the double navigation effect in the game (precursor period (internal middle RT)) after it is determined to shift to the special state as a privilege. ) Is set higher than the ratio (d1 to d7 in FIG. 9) in which it is determined to execute the double navigation effect in the game (BB establishment game) in which it is determined to shift to the special state (). (Refer to Equation 22 in FIG. 10B), the ratio of the double navigation effect executed in the game after it is decided to grant the privilege is higher than the ratio executed in the game determined to grant the privilege. Is also getting higher.

According to this configuration, of the selection effects, the judge effect (first selection effect) is executed in the game in which it is decided to give the privilege, and in the game after it is decided to give the privilege. While the ratio is higher than the ratio to be executed, the ratio of the roulette effect and the double navigation effect (second selection effect) to be executed in the game after it is decided to grant the privilege is the ratio to grant the privilege. Since it is higher than the rate of execution in the decided game, it is executed whether it is decided to grant the privilege in the game or whether it is decided to grant the privilege in the game before the game. It can be inferred according to the type of selection effect, and the interest of each selection effect can be enhanced.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can display a plurality of options and execute a selection effect of specifying one of the options as a selection result by using the liquid crystal display 51. Including the judge effect, the roulette effect, and the double navigation effect, in each selection effect, it is possible to specify the "WIN" option that suggests the winning of the special role (BB1 to BB4) as the selection result, and the special role. (BB1 to BB4) have been won, and it has been decided that the game will be transferred to a special state as a privilege. In the third part of the selection effect, the "WIN" option (first option) will be displayed identifiable as the selection result. At that time, it was decided that in the next game of the game in which the selection effect was executed, a confirmation screen suggesting that the special roles (BB1 to BB4) were won was displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to give the privilege. Notify that. On the other hand, it has been decided to shift to a special state as a privilege, and as a selection result in the third part of the selection production, "chance" option, "development" option, "?" Other than "WIN" option (first option) When any one of the options (second option) is displayed in a identifiable manner, the confirmation screen is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the next game of the game in which the selection effect is executed, and the precursor period (this implementation). In the example, the confirmation screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the games after the lapse of up to 4 games) to notify that it is decided to give the privilege.

According to this configuration, it is decided that the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won to shift to the special state as a privilege, and the selection result in the selection effect is other than the "WIN" option (first option). When any of the "chance" option, "development" option, and "?" Option (second option) is displayed identifiable, it is decided that the privilege will be given in the game after the precursory period has elapsed. Even if it is not decided to grant the privilege and the selection result shows options other than the "WIN" option (first option), it is a precursor. It is possible to maintain the expectation that it has been decided to grant the privilege for a period corresponding to the period, and it is possible to enhance the interest of each selective production.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment displays a plurality of options and executes a selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) for specifying one of the options as a selection result using the liquid crystal display 51. It is possible, and the plurality of options are configured to include the "WIN" option (first option) suggesting the winning of the special role (BB1 to BB4), and the "WIN" option is the special role (BB3, BB4). ) Is displayed in the black aspect (first aspect) suggesting the winning, and the white suggesting the winning of the special role (BB1, BB2) having a higher advantage than the special role (BB3, BB4). It is a configuration including the "WIN" option displayed in the aspect (second aspect).

According to this configuration, in the selection effect, the "WIN" option suggesting the winning of the special role (BB1 to BB4) is displayed in a black mode suggesting the winning of the special role (BB3, BB4). Since it may be displayed in a white mode suggesting the winning of the special role (BB1, BB2) having a higher advantage than the special role (BB3, BB4), the display mode of the "WIN" option can be noticed.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment displays a plurality of options and executes a selection effect (roulette effect, judge effect, double navigation effect) for specifying one of the options as a selection result using the liquid crystal display 51. It is possible, multiple options include a "WIN" option (first option) that suggests winning a special role (BB1 to BB4), and the selection staging includes a roulette staging, a judge staging, and a double navigation staging. , Each selection effect may be executed in an effect mode in which the "WIN" option is displayed in a plurality of options, or may be executed in an effect mode in which the "WIN" option is not displayed in a plurality of options. It is a configuration in which it is possible to determine in which production mode the production is to be performed by the production lottery. In the staging lottery, the degree of expectation when the same type of selection staging is executed in a staging mode in which the "WIN" option is displayed in a plurality of options is executed in a staging mode in which the "WIN" option is not displayed in a plurality of options. The ratio for determining the execution in each production mode is set so that it will be higher than the expected degree when it is performed, and the roulette effect, judge effect, and double navigation effect included in the selection effect will be any of them. It is possible that the special role (BB1 to BB4) has been won and it has been decided to move to a special state as a privilege when displaying the "WIN" option than when not displaying the "WIN" option. It has a high quality.

According to this configuration, in the roulette effect, the judge effect, and the double navigation effect, the "WIN" option may be displayed and the "WIN" option may not be displayed, but it is better to display the "WIN" option. , "WIN" It is more likely that benefits are given than when the options are not displayed, so even if a selection effect of a type with relatively low expectations is executed, "WIN" will be displayed for multiple options. By including the options, you can expect that the benefits will be granted.

In this embodiment, the roulette effect, the judge effect, and the double navigation effect included in the selection effect are all configured to display the "WIN" option, but in a specific effect among the selection effects, the "WIN" option may be displayed. While the "WIN" option may be displayed, in other effects, the "WIN" option may not be displayed.

In a specific effect of the selection effect, the "WIN" option may be displayed, while in other effects, the "WIN" option is not displayed. For example, the selection effect is the "WIN" option. Includes a roulette effect and a judge effect (first selection effect) that may display, and a double navigation effect 8 (second selection effect) that does not display the "WIN" option, and one of the selection effects is executed. It is possible to decide whether or not to do it by the staging lottery, and in the staging lottery, each selection staging is performed so that the expectation of the roulette staging and the judge staging is higher than the expectation of the double navigation staging. The determined ratio is set, and when the roulette effect and the judge effect are executed, the special role (BB1 to BB4) is won and special as a privilege than when the double navigation effect is executed. It may be a configuration in which there is a high possibility that it has been decided to move to the state. In such a configuration, the roulette effect and the judge effect may display the "WIN" option, while the double navigation effect does not display the "WIN" option, and the roulette effect and the judge effect are executed. Since there is a higher possibility that the privilege is given when the double navigation effect is executed, the privilege is given even if the "WIN" option is not displayed by executing the roulette effect and the judge effect. You can expect it to be granted.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment suggests the possibility that the special role (BB to BB4) has been won in the internal lottery, that is, the possibility that it has been decided to shift to the special state as a privilege over a plurality of games. It is possible to execute a continuous effect that suggests in the final game of a plurality of games whether or not it is decided to shift to the special state, and it is determined by an effect lottery whether or not to execute the continuous effect. In the production lottery, it is determined that the continuous production will be executed in the next game in which the roulette effect or the judge effect is executed, in which the "WIN" option may be displayed (Fig. 7 (Fig. 7). b) a30) is compared with the ratio (FIG. 7 (b) a31) in which the double navigation effect in which the "WIN" option is not displayed is executed and it is determined that the continuous effect is executed in the next game. It is set high (Equation 6 in FIG. 7D), and the ratio of continuous production performed over multiple games from the next game in which the double navigation effect is executed is higher than that in the next game in which the roulette effect or the judge effect is executed. It is a high composition.

According to this configuration, the continuous effect is a double navigation effect in which the "WIN" option is not displayed compared to the next game in which the roulette effect or the judge effect is executed, which may display the "WIN" option. Since the ratio of being executed over multiple games from the next game played is high, the "WIN" option is displayed in the first part, but the "WIN" option is displayed identifiable as the selection result in the third part. In the next game of the game that did not exist, it is possible to prevent the continuous production from being executed as much as possible, and even if the "WIN" option is not displayed in the first part, it can be expected that the continuous production will be developed thereafter.

The sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment can mainly perform a normal effect when the main control unit 41 is controlled to a normal state, and the normal effect includes a plurality of stages on the effect. The sub-control unit 91 executes a stage change suggestion effect that suggests the possibility of switching the stage when switching the stage of the normal effect, and the roulette effect or the judge effect is performed in the game. It is possible to execute the stage change suggestion effect before executing the effect or the judge effect, and it is possible to decide whether or not to execute the stage change suggestion effect by the effect lottery. , The ratio (FIG. 7 (c) a41) in which it is determined to execute the stage change suggestion effect in the game in which the "WIN" option is displayed in the first part of the selection effect and the roulette effect or the judge effect is performed. Compared to the ratio (FIG. 7 (c) a42) in which it is determined to execute the stage change suggestion effect in the game in which the roulette effect or the judge effect is performed in which the "WIN" option is not displayed in the first part of the selection effect. It is set high (see Equation 7 in FIG. 7D), and when the roulette effect or the judge effect is executed after the stage change suggestion effect is executed, the stage change suggestion effect is executed without being executed. It is a configuration in which the ratio of displaying the "WIN" option in the first part is higher than when it is done.

According to this configuration, among the selection effects, the roulette effect and the judge effect are executed after the stage change suggestion effect is executed, as compared with the case where the stage change suggestion effect is executed without being executed. Since the ratio of displaying the "WIN" option in the first part is high, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the roulette effect and the judge effect are executed with the stage change suggestion effect. Further, by using the stage change suggestion effect performed when switching the stage of the normal effect, it is not necessary to separately prepare the effect, and the storage data capacity for the effect in the sub control unit 91 can be reduced.

[Action effect 2]
Watermelon winning and chance replay winning, which may be won at the same time as BB, have a higher advantage than replay winning. In addition, when the watermelon is won, it is necessary to press the button, and when the replay is won or the chance replay is won, there is no need to press the button and there is no omission. Further, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area in the double navigation effect A, the purple navigation option image is used. When the blue navigation option image is selected and the purple navigation option image is selected at a high rate, the rate of winning the chance replay is higher than the rate of winning the watermelon. In this way, in the double navigation effect A, there is a high possibility that the blue navigation option image corresponding to the replay winning without omission is selected, and when the purple navigation option image is selected, the chance replay without omission is selected. There is a high possibility of winning. 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, he will win a replay or chance replay with a high probability, so the player as much as possible. It is possible not to impair the degree of advantage of.

As shown in FIG. 22, when the blue navigation option image is displayed and the blue navigation option image is selected after the green navigation option image is displayed in the double navigation effect C (FIGS. 22 (d) to (f)). The second part (not shown) is a case where the blue navigation option image is displayed and the blue navigation option image is selected after the purple navigation option image is displayed in the double navigation effect A (FIGS. 22 (a) to (2). c), the second part has a higher advantage than (not shown). In this way, in the double navigation effect C, even if the watermelon is not won even though the player has pressed the green navigation option image that suggests the push, the double navigation effect Since the advantage is higher than the situation when A is executed, the stress of the player can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the double navigation effect A, before either the blue navigation option image in the first region or the purple navigation option image in the second region is selected (FIG. 18 (e)), Since the selection suggestion effect (FIG. 18 (c)) suggesting that the purple navigation option image corresponding to the highly advantageous chance replay winning is selected, the player should pay attention to whether or not the selection suggestion effect is executed. Can be done.

As shown in FIG. 20, when the watermelon is won (double navigation effect D), the selection suggestion effect (FIG. 20 (c)) is executed at a higher rate than when the chance replay is won (double navigation effect B). .. 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.

As shown in FIGS. 18 (e) and 18 (f), when the symbol combination is stopped, either the blue navigation option image in the first region or the purple navigation option image in the second region is selected. .. By doing so, it is possible to specify which of the replay winning corresponding to the blue navigation option image and the chance replay winning corresponding to the purple navigation option image is used as the basis for deriving the symbol combination.

It is suggested that the BB has been won by winning a single role. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, when the one-card combination is won, the double navigation effect is not performed. One-card role to suggest the possibility of BB winning by the symbol combination of one-card combination that is stopped at the time of winning without executing the double navigation effect that suggests the winning of the winning combination at the time of winning (suggesting that BB was won). It is possible to give unexpectedness to the stop of the symbol combination of.

When the watermelon is won, it is necessary to push it, and when the chance replay is won, there is no need to push it and there is no omission. Further, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 20 (a) to 20 (e), when the watermelon is won, the green navigation option image is displayed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image in the double navigation effect. In this way, when a watermelon that requires a push is won, the green navigation option image that suggests a push is executed more frequently, so the player wins a role (chance replay) that is not missed. It is possible to reduce the chances of not pressing the eyes, and when the role (watermelon) that needs to be pressed is won, it is possible to appropriately press the eyes.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area (FIG. 21 (a)) and when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area (FIG. 21 (b)). Then, the blue navigation option image is displayed in a different manner. Further, the case where the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area (FIG. 21 (a)) and the case where the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area (FIG. 21 (b)) are the same. The purple navigation option image is displayed in the mode of. In this way, by displaying the blue navigation option image in multiple modes, the display becomes diverse and the interest of the game can be improved, while by displaying the purple navigation option image in the same mode, watermelon or chance It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying when the replay is won.

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

When the watermelon is won, the watermelon may not win depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the button). When the replay is won, the 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.

Next, a modified example of this embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, the blue navigation option image is an image of juice in a glass and an image of a cake placed on a plate, but the blue navigation option image is not limited to this, and is an image of any shape. It may be. 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 for which the navigation option image is performed may be another color. For example, the color of the corresponding image corresponding to cherry, chance replay, and watermelon is not limited to purple, but may be white or rainbow.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the blue navigation option image is displayed in different modes depending on whether it is displayed in the first area or the second area. 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, when the player visually recognizes the two navigation option images, they may be recognized as different from each other.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first region and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second region in the same manner. Navi option image is now performed. However, the navigation option image is not limited to the one displayed in the same mode, and the navigation option image may be displayed in substantially the same mode. 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 navigation option images, it suffices as long as they can be recognized as being the same or very close to each other by having 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 with a different shape, or the same food with different ingredients.

Further, the first area is not limited to the area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 and the second area is the area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the first area is the area on the upper part of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. It may be a region, and the second region may be a region at the lower part of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as long as the area is different between the first area and the second area, it may be displayed in any area.

Further, the winning probability of the double navigation 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 double navigation effect A is not limited to 0%, and may be lower than the execution probability of other double navigation effects. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the player will be pushed when the double navigation effect A is executed.

Further, when the chance replay is won, the execution probability of the double navigation effect C (or double navigation effect D) is not limited to 0%, and is lower than the execution probability of the double navigation effect C (or double navigation effect D) when the watermelon is won. It may be something to do. By doing so, when the green navigation option image is displayed in the double navigation effect C (or the double navigation effect D), it is possible to increase the possibility that the watermelon will win a prize by pressing the button.

In this 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).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 18 (e) and 18 (f), 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 navigation option image may be selected when the operation means is operated.

In this embodiment, a navigation option image corresponding to any of a plurality of lottery results that can be determined by an internal lottery is displayed, and as a navigation option image, for example, a blue navigation option image corresponding to a replay winning or a chance replay. The purple navigation option image corresponding to each of the winning of the watermelon and the watermelon is displayed. Also, when chance replay or watermelon winning is decided by internal lottery, BB winning may be decided by internal lottery (because there is a possibility of simultaneous winning), so chance replay is better than replay winning. And watermelon winning was more advantageous.

However, the BB winning is not limited to the one determined by the internal lottery, and may shift to the advantageous section described later when the chance replay or the watermelon winning is determined by the first lottery. That is, chance replay or watermelon may be used as an advantageous section transition role, and may be transferred to an advantageous section by winning the advantageous section transition combination. By doing so, when the purple navigation option image or the green navigation option image is selected, the transition to the advantageous section is suggested.

In addition, when the chance replay or the watermelon win is decided by the internal lottery, the advantage section is shifted to the advantageous section, so that the chance replay or the watermelon win has a higher advantage than the replay win. Further, for example, the single-card combination may be used as an advantageous section transition combination. In this case, the double navigation effect is not executed when the single-card combination is won, but the winning of the single-card combination 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 replay, cherry, watermelon, and one-card role may be used as an advantageous section transition role, and at the same time, it may be 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 a 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 is won when certain conditions are met. In the normal section, when the BB is won, the control to the advantageous section is controlled until the BB is won. In the waiting section, when the BB is won, it is controlled to the advantageous section.

When the main control unit 41 wins the advantageous section transition combination (for example, cherry, watermelon, chance replay) in the normal section, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section. The advantageous section includes a precursor state, CZ, and AT in the advantageous section. In this embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is won, the advantageous section distribution lottery determines either the precursor state only or the CZ transition after the precursor state as the type of the advantageous section. The precursory state is a state that suggests whether the advantageous section continues as it is controlled by CZ or AT, or shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ or AT. The AT is controlled by the main control unit 41, and is in a notification state in which a navigation effect for notifying the player of the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R 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.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the present invention and is included in the present invention even if there are changes or additions within the range not deviating from the gist of the present invention. Needless to say.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine in which the bet number is set by using medals and credits as the game value has been described, but the slot in which the bet number is set by using the game ball as the game value has been described. It may be applied to machines or fully credited slot machines that set the number of bets using only credits as game value. When the game ball is used as the game value, for example, one medal can be associated with five game balls, and when the bet number is set to 3 in the above embodiment, 15 game balls are used. Corresponds to setting the number of bets using.

Further, the value is not limited to one using only one of a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls, and for example, a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls can be used together. It may be. That is, it is possible to set the number of bets and play a game by using any of a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls, and a plurality of types of games such as medals and game balls are generated depending on the occurrence of a prize. You may apply a slot machine that can pay out any value.

Further, in the above-mentioned Examples and Modifications, an example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine 1 which is an example of a gaming machine is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a gaming ball is launched into a gaming area. It is also applicable to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine that plays a game by displaying a plurality of options and executing a selection effect of specifying one of the options as a selection result.
