The present invention relates to a gaming machine for playing games, and more particularly to a slot machine.

The game machine includes a slot machine in which a predetermined number of bets is set and a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed based on the start operation, and a game area in which a game medium such as a game ball is ejected by a shooting device. There is a pachinko game machine or the like that variably displays a plurality of types of identification information when a game medium wins in a starting area such as a winning opening provided in the game area.

Such a game machine presents ``losing'', ``development'', and ``winning'' as suggestive information at the end of a game in which an ART (assist replay time) lottery is conducted as an example of an advantageous state advantageous to a player. It is proposed to execute a roulette effect to play, select any suggestive information based on whether or not the ART lottery is won, and develop a continuous effect when "development" is selected (for example, See Patent Document 1).

JP 2016-220780 A

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, only when "development" is selected in the roulette presentation, the continuous presentation is developed, and there is room for improvement in suggesting the development to the continuous presentation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a slot machine that enhances the enjoyment of games.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, the slot machine according to the present invention
Equipped with a variable display unit (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) that can variably display a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable,
A slot machine (e.g., slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variably displayed, and winning can occur according to the display result. hand,
Predetermining means (for example, internal lottery processing executed by the sub-control unit 91) that determines display results that allow derivation;
Privilege giving means (for example, a process in which the sub-control unit 91 performs an ART lottery) capable of giving a privilege (for example, ART, big hit);
A notification effect pattern (e.g., a first development pattern, a second development pattern) is a performance pattern for executing a notification effect (for example, a castle search effect and a battle effect as continuous effects) for informing whether or not the privilege is granted. ), a notification effect pattern execution means (for example, a process in which the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the first development pattern or the second development pattern),
In the notification effect pattern, it is specified that the notification effect is executed after the execution of a suggestive effect suggesting the possibility of the award of the privilege (for example, a roulette effect, a character appearance effect, a minor role winning effect suggestive effect) is started. A first notification effect pattern in which a development effect to be notified (for example, an enlarged character image display by instructing a "development" pop-up image, a "development" statement image display, a development effect) is executed, and then the notification effect is executed. (For example, a first development pattern), and a second notification effect pattern (for example, a second development pattern) that executes the notification effect without executing the development effect after starting the execution of the suggestive effect. ,
The second notification effect pattern is a predetermined effect (for example, "chance") that performs a predetermined suggestion (for example, ART winning expectation level suggestion, small winning combination suggestion) different from the development effect after starting the execution of the suggestion effect. or "Gekiketsu", you can display an enlarged character image, a suggestion role image, a "Chance" or "Gekikatsu" remark image, a small role winning indication, a chance production, and a hot production). is executed, and after execution of the predetermined effect, a switching effect (for example, a door closing effect) for switching the effect from the predetermined effect is executed, and then the notification effect is executed,
The predetermined effect is a decision result suggestion (for example, suggestion of winning a minor role) that suggests the decision result of the pre-determining means as the predetermined suggestion. and
The ratio of execution of the switching effect differs depending on which one of the plurality of types of decision result suggestions is performed by the predetermined effect (for example, the sub-control unit 91 selects a suggestive combination image using a suggestive combination selection table). type).

According to such a configuration, the notification effect is executed after the switching effect is executed after the execution of the predetermined effect, and the player finds it surprising that the notification effect is executed even if the development effect is not executed. Since the player can feel it, the unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is improved as compared with the game machine in which the notification performance is executed only when the development performance is executed.

A mode for implementing a slot machine according to the present invention will be described below.
A first embodiment of a slot machine to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. and a front door 1b rotatably supported at the side end. Inside the housing 1a, as shown in FIG. 2, reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (variable display portions, hereinafter referred to as left reel, middle reel, and right reel) on which a plurality of types of patterns are arranged on the outer periphery are arranged horizontally. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, three consecutive symbols (21 symbols each drawn in a predetermined order) among the symbols arranged on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are arranged side by side. 3 patterns among a plurality of identifiable patterns) are arranged so that they can be seen through the see-through window 3 provided on the front door 1b.

The respective reels 2L, 2C and 2R are respectively provided and rotated by reel motors 32L, 32C and 32R (see FIG. 4), so that the patterns of the respective reels 2L, 2C and 2R are displayed continuously on the see-through window 3. By stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, three consecutive symbols are derived and displayed in the see-through window 3 as a display result. Inside the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, there are reel sensors 33L, 33C, and 33R that detect the reference positions of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, respectively, and reel LEDs 55 that illuminate the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R from the back. is provided. The reel LEDs 55 are composed of 12 LEDs corresponding to three consecutive symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and each symbol can be illuminated independently.

A display area 51a of a liquid crystal display 51 (a production section, see FIG. 1) is arranged at a position on the front side (player side) of each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R of the front door 1b. The liquid crystal display 51 has a liquid crystal panel that is transparent when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal element. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R can be visually recognized from the player side. A light guide plate (not shown) for illuminating the display area 51a from the back side is provided on the back surface of the display area 51a. , display areas of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, display area of the variable display portion) 51b is provided with a concealing member (not shown) for concealing the inside. The liquid crystal display 51 is a display device capable of changing the display mode by controlling the liquid crystal element to either a state in which the light irradiated by the light guide plate passes or a state in which the light does not pass.

The front door 1b is equipped with a medal insertion unit 4 into which medals can be inserted, a medal payout opening 9 through which medals are paid out, and credits (the number of medals stored as gaming value owned by the player). MAXBET switch 6 operated when setting the maximum bet number (3) among the prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state, medals stored as credits, and medals used for setting the bet amount Settlement switch 10 operated when settling (returning medals used for setting credits and bet amount), start switch 7 operated when starting the game, rotation of reels 2L, 2C, 2R Stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are provided to be operated by the player. In this embodiment, of the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R that have started to rotate, the reel that stops first is referred to as the first stop reel, and the stop is referred to as the first stop. Similarly, the reel that stops second is called the second stop reel, the stop is called the second stop, the reel that stops third is called the third stop reel, and the stop is called the third stop. Alternatively, it is called final stop.

In addition, on the front door 1b, a credit display 11 for displaying the number of medals stored as credits, the number of medals paid out due to the occurrence of a prize, an error code indicating the content of an error, and a navigation system (to be described later) 1BETLED 14, 2BETLED 15, and 3BETLED 16 that light up to notify that the number of bets is set to 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and insert medals. An input request LED 17 that notifies by lighting that a state in which the start switch 7 is enabled (start operation) is indicated by lighting, a start effective LED 18 that notifies by lighting that the operation (start operation) of the start switch 7 is effective, a wait (reel rotation starts without a certain period of time from the start of the previous game) A game display unit 13 provided with a waiting LED 19 for notifying that the game is in the waiting state by lighting, and a replaying LED 20 for notifying that the replay game is in progress (replaying) by lighting. It is Further, the front door 1b is provided with a winning notification LED 70 as an example of notification means for notifying an AT winning or the like by lighting an LED lamp.

When a game is played on the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion portion 4 or credits are used to set the number of bets by operating the MAXBET switch 6 . When the prescribed number of bets determined according to the game state is set, the winning line LN becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes valid (the game can be started). When the maximum number of medals among the specified number corresponding to the game state is exceeded, the amount is added to the credits.

A winning line is a line set for determining whether a combination of symbols displayed in the see-through windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a combination of winning symbols. In this embodiment, only the pay line LN set across the symbols horizontally aligned in the middle of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is defined as the pay line. As a winning combination, a prize is won when a combination of predetermined symbols defined as a combination is completed on the winning line LN, and when the predetermined combination of symbols is completed, a predetermined combination of symbols is placed on any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. It includes a combination that can be made to appear as if a prize has been won by a combination of symbols aligned on any one of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 by arranging a combination of symbols that serve as indicators that are easier to recognize.

When the start switch 7 is operated (start operation, lever on) in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start rotating, the symbols continuously change, and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotates at a constant speed, and when the reel sensors 33L, 33C, 33R detect the reference positions of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the operations of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are validated. When the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R are operated in this state, the corresponding reels 2L, 2C and 2R are stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the see-through window 3. One game ends when all the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are stopped. Winning occurs, and the number of medals determined according to the winning is awarded to the player and added to credits. Also, when the credit reaches the upper limit (50), the medals are paid out directly from the medal payout port 9 (see FIG. 1).

As shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 1 is provided with a game control board 40, an effect control board 90, and a power board 101. The game control board 40 controls the game state, and the effect control board 90 controls the game state. The power board 101 generates drive power for the electrical components that make up the slot machine 1 and supplies it to each part. The game control board 40 includes a main control unit 41, a control clock generation circuit 42, a random number clock generation circuit 43, a switch detection circuit 44, a motor drive circuit 45, a solenoid drive circuit 46, an LED drive circuit 47, and a power failure detection circuit. 48, a reset circuit 49 is mounted, performs processing related to the progress of the game, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40. Effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51, effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55 are connected to the effect control board 90. These effect devices are connected to a sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90. It is designed to be driven based on the control by.

[Regarding game control processing]
The main control unit 41 also performs game control processing to control one game. In the game control processing, first, the bet amount is set and the credit settlement/BET processing for settlement of the bet amount is performed. An internal lottery process for determination is performed. After the internal lottery, the reel rotation process is performed, and on the condition that a specified period (4.1 seconds) has passed since the reel rotation started in the previous game, the stop switch will occur after the reel rotation starts and the speed becomes constant. 8L to 8R operations (stop operations) are validated, and the rotation of the reels is stopped according to the stop operations. After the reel rotation process is completed, a prize determination process is performed to determine whether or not a prize has been awarded based on the combination of symbols on the winning line. After the winning determination process is completed, a payout process is performed, and medals are paid out or credits are added according to the occurrence of winning, and the game state is shifted according to the symbol combination on the winning line. As a result, the game control processing for one game ends, and the game control processing for the next one game starts.

[About production patterns]
In addition, the sub-control unit 91 performs various effects (for example, advance notice effects (roulette effects, door closing effects, continuous effects, etc., which will be described later) according to internal lottery results and gaming states based on various commands received from the main control unit 41 . ), indication of internal winning, confirmation of bonuses and ART (assist replay time) as an example of an advantageous state (ART winning notification, etc. described later), bonus during bonus, navigation, demonstration, etc.) It is possible.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs an ART lottery if the internal lottery result after the lever is turned on is one of lost, winning a bell, winning a replay, winning a watermelon, or winning a cherry. When it is determined that ART has been won based on the game state command or the like received from the control unit 41, the type of notification performance for notifying ART winning after a predetermined game (for example, 10th game after ART winning) is selected.

At this time, the sub-control unit 91 selects whether or not to perform control during the precursor period before executing the notification effect. Here, the sign period is a period during which the first suggestive effect described later is likely to be executed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. A period of 5 games from the 9th game to the 9th game is set in advance. In the present embodiment, when it is decided to execute the notification effect in the tenth game in the first game of the ART lottery, the predictive period is likely to be selected when the rare role is won.・While the precursory period is selected at a rate of 60% when a rare role is won in a cherry win, the precursory period is selected at a rate of 30% when a rare role is not won in a loss, bell win, or replay win.

In this embodiment, as the notification effect, a castle search effect and a battle effect as continuous effects, and a winning notification effect are set in advance. A continuous effect is an example of a notification effect in which the possibility of winning an ART is announced over a plurality of games (for example, three games), and then whether or not the player has won the ART is announced. In this embodiment, two types of effects, a castle search effect and a battle effect shown in FIG. 12(A), are set in advance as continuous effects. The castle search effect is an example of a notification effect that arouses whether or not the allied character can reach the castle. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the castle search effect of the present embodiment includes an image of a friendly character walking along a road leading to a castle, a “castle search mission”, and “~Reach the castle safely! After the image of the ally character choosing the right path at the fork and the text image of ``Let's go right'' is displayed, when the ART wins, the ally character will be in the castle. While the image that arrived and each character image of "Success !!" and "ART + 20G !!" …” character image is displayed.

Also, the battle effect is an example of a specific notification effect that arouses whether or not the ally character will win against the enemy character. For example, as shown in FIG. 12(A), the battle effect of the present embodiment includes an image in which a friendly character and an enemy character face each other and character images of "Battle Mission" and "~ Defeat enemy character A!~". After the image of the friendly character and the enemy character fighting is displayed, when the ART wins, the image of the friendly character defeating the enemy character and the character images of "Victory !!" and "ART + 50 G !!" On the other hand, when the ART is not won, an image of a friend character being defeated by an enemy character and a character image of "defeated..." are displayed.
Also, the winning notification effect is an example of a privilege giving notification effect for notifying that the ART has been won. The winning notification effect of this embodiment is, for example, a effect of displaying a character image "Congratulations!! ART+30G!!" on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the sub-controller 91 selects the type of notification effect using the notification effect selection table shown in FIG. 8(A). Here, the notification effect selection table is a table for selecting the type of notification effect. As shown in FIG. 8(A), the notification effect selection table of the present embodiment has a selection rate of the castle search effect when the ART is won and when the rare role is not won in the case of shifting to the precursor period. The selection rate of the battle effect is set to 0%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 95%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is preset to 5%. The rate is preset to 80%, and the selection rate of winning notification effect is preset to 20%. In addition, in the notification effect selection table, when the ART is not won, the selection rate of the battle effect is 95% and the selection rate of the battle effect is 5% when the ART is not won and the rare role is not won. , the selection rate of the winning notification effect is set to 0% in advance, and when a rare role is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 90%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 10%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is set. is preset to 0%.

On the other hand, in the notification effect selection table, when the ART is won and the rare role is not won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 80%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%, and the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%. The selection rate of the winning notification effect is set to 20% in advance, and when a rare role is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 60%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is 60%. It is preset to 40%. In addition, in the notification effect selection table, when the ART is not won and the rare role is not won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 100% and the selection rate of the battle effect is 0% when the ART is not won. , the selection rate of the winning notification effect is preset to 0%, and when a rare role is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 95%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 5%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is set. is preset to 0%.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the sub-control unit 91 determines to execute the notification effect in the 10th game when the ART is won, if the internal lottery result is a rare win, the 5th to 9th games Until then, it is highly likely that the battle production will be selected as the notification production as it shifts to the omen period. When the premonition period is selected and the battle presentation is selected, the 1st to 4th games of ART winning are controlled to the normal period, and the 5th to 9th games are controlled to the premonition period. In this embodiment, a roulette effect and a minor win winning suggestive effect are set in advance as the suggestive effect to be executed up to the tenth game in which the notification effect is executed.

Here, the roulette effect is an example of a first suggestive effect suggesting the result of the ART lottery, and is a selection effect of selecting one of a plurality of types of suggestive information (options) by displaying a roulette image. An example. As shown in FIG. 11A, the roulette effect of the present embodiment is performed after rotating the free end of the arrow image around the base end of the arrow image provided in the center of the liquid crystal display 51. When stopped, multiple types of pop-up images (images in which any character image of "Loss", "Chance", "Fever", or "Development" (upper is red, lower is blue) is surrounded by a frame) This is an effect in which one of the displayed eye images is selected by pointing with an arrow image. In the roulette effect of the present embodiment, the character image corresponding to the selected eye image is enlarged and displayed. For example, when the eye image "chance" is selected, the character image "chance!! An enlarged character image surrounded by a frame is displayed in the central portion of the liquid crystal display 51 .

Also, the minor win winning suggestion effect is an example of a second suggestive effect suggesting something other than the result of the ART lottery. The minor winning combination suggesting effect of the present embodiment is, for example, an internal winning combination suggesting effect such as a cherry win suggesting effect and a bell winning suggesting effect shown in FIG. 11(B). In this embodiment, as for the performance suggesting the winning of a so-called rare combination such as cherry or watermelon, the character image "!!!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and then the symbol image corresponding to the internal winning combination is displayed. As for the win-suggesting effect of a small combination other than a rare combination such as bell and replay, the symbol image corresponding to the internal winning combination is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 without displaying the character image.

In this embodiment, during the normal period, the performance suggesting winning a minor role is likely to be executed. The roulette effect is easy to execute, and for example, the selection rate of the roulette effect is preset to 90%, and the minor win winning suggestion effect is preset to 10%. Further, in this embodiment, when the roulette effect is selected, the sub-control unit 91 selects the type of roulette and the outcome selected in the roulette. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 selects the type of roulette using the roulette selection table shown in FIG. to select.

Here, the roulette selection table is a table for selecting the types of roulette numbers (types of images of numbers in the roulette effect). In this embodiment, it is possible to select the type of the image of the center of the left and right sides of the roulette effect from the image of the "chance" image and the image of the "very hot" image. Also, the roulette selection table of the present embodiment is, as shown in FIG. , The roulette selection rate is 5%, where both the left and right center parts are "chance" images, the left center part is a "chance" image, and the right center part is a "hot heat" image. The selection rate of roulette is 45%, and the left center part is the image of "hot heat" and the center right part is the image of "chance". The selection rate of the roulette, which is the result image of "extreme heat", is set in advance to 5%.

On the other hand, in the roulette selection table, when the execution game of the roulette effect is the second development pattern or the winning notification pattern, which will be described later, in the ninth game, both the left and right central portions are roulette images of "chance". The selection rate is 45%, the left center is the image of the "chance" image, and the right center is the image of the "hot" image. The selection rate of the roulette where the eye image is the eye image and the right center part is the "chance" image is set in advance to 25%, and the selection rate of the roulette where both the left and right center parts are the "hot heat" image is set in advance to 5%. is set.

The outcome selection table is a table for selecting a roulette outcome, that is, a type of outcome image indicated by an arrow image in a roulette performance. As shown in FIG. 9(B), the outcome selection table of the present embodiment is such that when an ART is won and the roulette effect execution game is in the normal period, both left and right center portions are "chance" outcomes. In the case of a roulette that is an image, the selection rate of the "chance" image is set to 100%, and the selection rate of the "hot heat" image is preset to 0%. If one is a ``chance'' image and the other is a ``fever'' image, the selection rate for the ``chance'' image is 50%, and the selection rate for the ``fever'' image is In the case of a roulette with a rate of 50% set in advance and the center of both the left and right sides of the roulette are both “hot” images, the selection rate of the “chance” eye image is 0%. is preset to 100%.

In addition, when the ART is won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is the ninth game that is the precursor period or the second development pattern, both the left and right center portions are displayed as "chance". If it is a roulette, the selection rate of the "Chance" image is preset to 100%, and the selection rate of the "Super Heat" image is preset to 0%. In the case of a roulette with a ``chance'' image and a ``very hot'' image, the selection rate for the ``chance'' image is 25%, and the ``very hot'' image has a selection rate of 25%. If the roulette wheel is set to 75% in advance and both the left and right sides of the roulette have a “hot” image, the selection rate for the “chance” eye image is 0%. The selection rate of the displayed image is preset to 100%. In addition, in the outcome selection table, when the ART is won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is the 9th game, which is the first development pattern, the selection rate of the outcome image of the blue character "Development" is 20%, and the selection rate of the image of the outcome is 20%. The selection rate of the character "development" image is set in advance to 80%.

On the other hand, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is in the normal period, and if the center part on both the left and right sides is a roulette with a "chance" image, it is "losing". is set to 95%, 5% for Chance, and 0% for Super Heat. If it is a roulette with one side showing a "chance" roll image and the other side a "fever" roll image, the selection rate for the "losing" roll image is 90%, and the "chance" roll image. If the roulette has a 5% selection rate for , and a 5% selection rate for the ``Super Heat'' image, and both the left and right sides of the roulette have a ``Super Heat'' image, The selection rate of the "loss" image is preset to 95%, the selection rate of the "chance" image is 0%, and the selection rate of the "hot" image is preset to 5%.

In addition, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is the precursor period or the ninth game that is the second development pattern, the center part on both the left and right sides of the outcome selection table is a "chance" outcome image. If it is a roulette, the selection rate of the "loss" image will be 0%, the selection rate of the "chance" image will be 100%, and the selection rate of the "great heat" image will be 0%. If it is a roulette that is set in advance and one of the left and right central parts is a "chance" image and the other is a "hot heat" image, the selection rate of the "losing" image is increased. 0%, 75% for ``chance'', and 25% for ``hot heat''. In the case of a roulette with a winning image, the selection rate of the "loss" image is 0%, the selection rate of the "chance" image is 0%, and the selection rate of the "hot" image is 0%. It is preset to 100%. In addition, in the outcome selection table, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is the ninth game, which is the first development pattern, the selection rate of the outcome image of blue characters "development" is 80%. The selection rate of the red-letter "development" image is set in advance to 20%.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control unit 91 selects the battle effect or the winning notification effect as the notification effect when the ART win is shifted to the premonition period in the fifth game. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to execute the small win suggestion effect during the normal period, and even if the roulette effect is executed, one of the left and right central parts is the ``chance'' and the other is the ``hot heat'' roulette. Easy to choose, choose "chance" or "hot heat" as the roulette roll. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 can easily execute the roulette effect after the transition to the precursor period, and selects the roulette with "chance" at one of the left and right central parts and "hot heat" at the other as in the normal period. While it is easy, it is easy to select "Intense heat" as a roulette roll.

Further, when executing the battle effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 sets the first development pattern as an example of the first notification effect pattern and the second development pattern as an example of the second notification effect pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game. Select one of the two development patterns. Here, the production pattern is information (data) that specifies the course of the production to be executed, that is, the order and timing of execution of the production. Further, the first development pattern and the second development pattern are the rendering patterns from the ninth game onward when the continuous rendering is executed in the tenth game (hereinafter also referred to as "developing into continuous rendering"). In this embodiment, the first development pattern is an effect pattern in which continuous effects are executed from the tenth game onward after selecting "development" as the roulette outcome in the roulette effect executed in the ninth game. On the other hand, in the second development pattern, in the roulette effect executed in the ninth game, after selecting "Chance" or "Extreme heat" as the roulette outcome, the door closing effect is executed, and then the continuous effects are performed in the tenth game and thereafter. It is a production pattern that executes Note that the door closing effect is an example of a switching effect in which an image of the door being closed is displayed and the effect before the door is closed is switched to the next effect. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11(C), any one of the normal door (brown door), red door (red door), and gold door (golden door) is selected as the door closing effect. is set in advance.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 selects the type of notification effect using the effect pattern selection table for the ninth game shown in FIG. 8(B). Here, the effect pattern selection table for the ninth game is a table for selecting either the first development pattern or the second development pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game. In the effect pattern selection table for the ninth game of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, if the internal lottery result of the ninth game is that the rare hand is not won, the selection rate of the first development pattern is 80%. , the selection rate of the second development pattern is preset to 20%, and if the internal lottery result in the ninth game is a winning of a rare role, the selection rate of the first development pattern is 20%, and the selection rate of the second development pattern is 20%. The percentage is preset to 80%.

Further, in this embodiment, when the second development pattern is selected, the sub-control unit 91 selects the type of door for the door closing effect and selects the execution timing of the door closing effect. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 selects the door type for the door closing effect using the door closing effect selection table shown in FIG. is used to select the execution timing of the door closing effect.

Here, the door closing effect selection table is a table for selecting the type of door of the door closing effect. As shown in FIG. 10(A), the door closing effect selection table of the present embodiment is such that, in the case of shifting to the precursor effect, when the ART is won, if the outcome of the roulette effect is "Chance", the normal door is selected. The rate is set to 0%, the red door selection rate is 0%, and the gold door selection rate is 100%. %, the selection rate of the red door is set to 20%, and the selection rate of the gold door is set to 80%. In addition, in the door closing effect selection table, when the ART is not won, if the outcome of the roulette effect is "chance", the selection rate of the normal door is 60%, and the selection rate of the red door is 60%. 30%, the selection rate of the gold door is preset to 10%. The gold door selection rate is preset to 0%.

On the other hand, in the door closing effect selection table, if the ART win does not shift to the sign effect, if the outcome of the roulette effect is "chance", the selection rate of the normal door is 0%, and the selection rate of the red door is 0%. is set to 80%, and the gold door selection rate is set to 20%. , the gold door selection rate is preset to 0%. In addition, in the door closing effect selection table, when there is no shift to the omen effect, when the ART is not won, if the outcome of the roulette effect is "chance", the normal door selection rate is 75%, and the red door is selected. The rate is set to 20%, and the gold door selection rate is set to 5%. %, and the gold door selection rate is preset to 0%.

Also, the execution timing selection table is a table for selecting the execution timing of the door closing effect. In this embodiment, the execution timing of the door closing effect is set in advance at the time of the third stop (after the outcome is selected) or at the time of MAXBET in the next game. As shown in FIG. 10B, the execution timing selection table of the present embodiment has a selection rate of 70% at the third stop and a selection rate of 30 at the MAXBET when the type of door closing effect is a normal door. %, and if the type of door closing effect is a red door, the selection rate at the 3rd stop is preset at 50%, and the selection rate at MAXBET is preset at 50%. If the type is gold door, the selection rate at the time of the third stop is set to 20%, and the selection rate at the time of MAXBET is set to 80% in advance.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the premonition period at the time of ART winning and executes the battle effect in the 10th game, the first development is performed in the 9th game if the rare role is not won. While it is easy to execute the effect according to the pattern, it is easy to execute the effect according to the second development pattern in the 9th game if the rare combination is won. In this case, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the performance according to the first development pattern, it is easy to execute the roulette performance and select the red character "development" as the roulette outcome, while the sub-control unit 91 executes the performance according to the second development pattern. When it is executed, a roulette performance is executed to select the outcome of ``Chance'' or ``Intense Heat'' as the outcome of the roulette, and then the closing performance of the golden door is performed. At this time, in the roulette effect, the sub-control unit 91 easily selects the roulette wheel in which both the left and right center portions are “chance”, and easily executes the door closing effect after the MAXBET of the next game.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the premonition period at the time of ART winning and executes the winning notification effect in the 10th game, the sub-control unit 91 follows the winning notification pattern as an example of the privilege giving notification effect pattern as the effect pattern in the 9th game. perform the performance. Here, the winning notification pattern is an effect pattern for the ninth and subsequent games in the case where the winning notification effect is executed in the tenth game (hereinafter also referred to as "developing to the winning notification effect"). In the present embodiment, the winning notification pattern is a performance pattern in which the roulette performance is not selected, the roulette performance is interrupted, the door closing performance is executed, and then the winning notification performance is executed in the 10th game. . A sub-control part 91 executes a roulette performance, does not select a roulette roll, and executes a gold door closing performance after the second stop when executing the performance according to the winning notification pattern. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 easily selects a roulette wheel with both left and right center portions as "chance", similar to the roulette effect executed in the second development pattern.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the sub-control unit 91 selects the castle search effect or the winning notification effect as the notification effect when the ART win does not shift to the sign period. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to execute the small win suggestion effect during the normal period, and even if the roulette effect is executed, one of the left and right central parts is the ``chance'' and the other is the ``hot heat'' roulette. Easy to choose, choose "chance" or "hot heat" as the roulette roll. Further, in this case, when executing the castle search effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect in accordance with the second development pattern in the ninth game. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 easily executes the roulette effect of the roulette in which both the left and right central portions are "chance", easily selects "chance" as the outcome of the roulette, and after selection of the outcome or the next game. It is easy to execute the door closing effect of the red door after the MAX BET of . On the other hand, when the winning notification effect is executed in the tenth game, the sub-control part 91 executes the effect according to the winning notification pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game, executes the roulette effect, and does not select any roulette numbers. After the second stop, the door closing performance of the gold door is executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the sub-control unit 91 may decide to execute the notification effect in the 10th game even when the ART is not won. A decision is made to execute the notification effect in the game cycle. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 is more likely to select the castle search effect than the battle effect as the notification effect, regardless of whether or not the transition is made to the precursor period. In addition, when the ART is not won and the transition is made to the sign period, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to execute the small win winning suggestion effect during the normal period, and even if the roulette effect is executed, one of the left and right central parts will be the "chance". , the other side is likely to select the ``extreme heat'' roulette, and the roulette outcome is likely to be ``losing''. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 can easily execute the roulette effect after the transition to the precursor period, and selects the roulette with "chance" at one of the left and right central parts and "hot heat" at the other as in the normal period. While it is easy, it is easy to select "chance" as the outcome of the roulette.

Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 tends to execute the effect according to the first development pattern if the rare role is not won in the ninth game, while the effect is according to the second development pattern if the rare role is won in the ninth game. easy to implement. When the sub-control unit 91 executes the performance according to the first development pattern, it is easy to execute the roulette performance and select the blue character "development" as the roulette outcome, while when the sub-control unit 91 executes the performance according to the second development pattern. , it is easy to execute the roulette performance with the roulette of "chance" in both the left and right central parts, select the outcome of "chance", and then execute the door closing performance of the normal door.

In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 does not shift to the sign period when the ART is not won, the sub-control unit 91 tends to execute the small win winning suggestion effect during the normal period, and even if the roulette effect is executed, one of the left and right central parts is "chance". , the other side is likely to select the ``extreme heat'' roulette, and the roulette outcome is likely to be ``losing''. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, and it is easy to execute the roulette effect of the roulette in which both the left and right center portions are "chance", and the roulette result is It is easy to select the outcome of "chance", and it is easy to execute the door closing performance of the normal door after selecting the outcome.
Although illustration is omitted, when the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the notification effect in the tenth game when the ART is not won, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the non-development pattern, which is the effect pattern in the normal period. Therefore, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the performance according to the non-development pattern, it is easy to execute the performance suggesting winning a minor winning combination. It is easy to select the roulette of "extreme heat", and it is easy to select "losing" as the outcome of the roulette.

As a result, in the present embodiment, the ART is not won in the normal time, and the performance is executed according to the non-development pattern as the performance pattern, so that the performance suggesting the winning of a minor winning combination is likely to be executed. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed. Even after the lever is turned on later, there is a possibility that the replay win is internally won and the replay win suggesting effect is executed. In addition, after a few more games, after the lever is turned on, a roulette effect is executed with a roulette with an image of "chance" in the center of the left side and an image of "hot heat" in the center of the right side, and after the third stop, "losing". There is a possibility that the outcome will be selected and an enlarged character image of "Loss..." will be displayed. Further, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won, and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed. After the lever is turned on, there is a possibility that the replay is internally won and the replay winning suggestion effect is executed, and furthermore, after several games after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, when ART is won, there is a high possibility that the effect will be executed according to the first development pattern after shifting to the precursor period. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the cherry is internally won after the lever is turned on and the ART is also simultaneously won, the cherry winning suggestion effect is executed, and after the lever is turned on after several games, the bell is internally won and the bell is suggested to be won. A performance may be performed. In addition, after a few more games, after the lever is turned on, a roulette effect is executed with a roulette with an image of "hot heat" in the center of the left side and an image of "chance" in the center of the right side, and after the third stop, "hot heat". is selected and an enlarged character image of "Gekiatsu!!" is displayed. A roulette effect is executed in the image roulette, and after the third stop, there is a possibility that the outcome of "chance" is selected and an enlarged character image of "chance!!" is displayed.

In addition, after the lever is turned on in the next game, a roulette effect is executed with a roulette image of "chance" in the center of the left side and an image of "hot heat" in the center of the right side. When the outcome is selected, an enlarged character image of "Gekiatsu!!" A roulette effect is executed in the roulette of the image, and after the third stop, there is a possibility that the result of "Super Heat" is selected and an enlarged character image of "Super Heat!!" is displayed. Then, after the lever is turned on in the next game, a roulette effect is executed with a roulette with an image of ``furious heat'' in the center of the left side and an image of ``chance'' in the center of the right side. ” is selected and an enlarged character image of red characters “Development!!” is displayed, and there is a possibility that the execution of the battle effect will start after the lever is turned on in the next game.

In addition, in the present embodiment, there is a possibility that the effect will be executed suddenly according to the second development pattern without transitioning to the sign period regardless of the ART lottery result. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed. Even after the lever is turned on later, there is a possibility that the replay win is internally won and the replay win suggesting effect is executed. After a few more games, after the lever is turned on, a roulette effect is executed with a roulette image of "chance" on both the left and right sides of the central part, and after the third stop, the "chance" is selected and "chance!! ” is displayed, and after the MAX BET of the next game, the door closing effect of the red door is executed, and after the lever is turned on, the execution of the castle search effect may start.

Further, in the present embodiment, if ART is won, there is a possibility that an effect will be executed immediately according to the winning notification pattern without transitioning to the sign period. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the cherry is internally won after the lever is turned on and the ART is also simultaneously won, the cherry winning suggestion effect is executed, and after a few games, the bell is internally won and the bell is suggested to be won after the lever is turned on. An effect is executed, and there is a possibility that an internal win for replay is made after the lever is turned on after several games, and a replay winning suggestion effect is executed. Further, after several games, after the lever is turned on, the roulette effect is executed with the roulette image of "chance" on both the left and right sides of the central part. The door closing effect of the door is executed, and there is a possibility that the winning notification effect is executed after the lever is turned on in the next game.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is capable of performing an ART lottery, and the sub-control unit 91 performs a notification effect when the ART lottery is performed. can be executed according to a plurality of kinds of production patterns including a first development pattern and a second development pattern. Here, the first development pattern is a performance pattern that develops into a continuous performance after the roulette performance is executed and the outcome of "development" is selected. On the other hand, the second development pattern is a performance pattern in which a roulette performance is executed and the outcome of "development" is not selected, and a continuous performance is developed. This is a performance pattern in which a door closing performance is executed after the outcome is selected and then a continuous performance is developed.
By doing so, the player feels that it is unexpected that the roulette effect develops into a continuous effect even if the "development" roll is not selected. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is improved as compared with the slot machine which develops into a continuous performance only after the selection of the outcome.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub-control unit 91 determines to execute the notification effect in the ART lottery game (first game), it shifts to the precursor period from the fifth game. Select whether to Then, when the user selects to shift to the sign period, in the normal period from the first game to the fourth game, the ratio of executing the minor win winning indication effect is higher than the ratio of executing the roulette effect, but from the fifth game In the omen period, the ratio of executing the roulette effect is higher than the ratio of executing the minor win winning suggestion effect. In other words, during the normal period, the small win suggesting performance that has no possibility of developing into a continuous performance is likely to be executed, and during the indication period, the roulette performance that has the possibility of developing into a continuous performance is likely to be executed.
By doing so, the player will be more likely to get "development" in the roulette effect during the precursor period than in a slot machine where the ratio of executing the roulette effect during the precursor period is not higher than the ratio of executing the minor winning indication effect. It becomes easy to have a feeling of expectation that it will be selected and develop into a continuous performance.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the roulette effect includes a "chance" or "hot fever" outcome image that suggests the degree of expectation that the ART will be won. ” suggests that expectations are higher than ”chance”. Further, when the effect is executed in accordance with the second development pattern in the ninth game, the outcome of "chance" is more likely to be selected than the outcome of "fever" in the roulette effect. That is, when the roulette effect is executed and the outcome of "chance" is selected, the door closing effect is more likely to be executed than when the outcome of "hot heat" is selected.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to whether the roulette effect is executed and the outcome of "chance" or the outcome of "hot heat" is selected, and the roulette effect is executed. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the rate of execution of the door closing performance does not change depending on whether the type of outcome when the game is executed is 'chance' or 'extreme heat'.

In addition, by doing so, the door closing effect is executed when the outcome of "chance" indicating that the expectation of winning the ART in the roulette effect is lower than that of "extreme heat" is selected. Therefore, it is easier for the player to develop a continuous performance than the slot machine where the door closing performance is more difficult to execute when the ``chance'' outcome is selected in the roulette performance than when the ``hot heat'' outcome is selected. The unexpectedness given to the game is improved, and the amusement of the game is further improved. It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, it is preferable to make it easier to execute the door closing effect when the number "Chance" is selected in the roulette effect. It may be difficult to execute the door closing effect when the outcome of "chance" is selected in the effect.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the roulette effect is achieved by selecting the displayed eye images in the central part on both the left and right sides as the type of roulette from the displayed eye images of "chance" or "hot heat". This is the presentation to display. In addition, when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, the combination of the 'chance' outcome images in both the left and right center portions is more likely to be selected than the other combinations in the roulette performance. Therefore, in the second development pattern, the door closing effect is more likely to be executed for the combination of the roulette images in which both the left and right center portions are "chance" as the type of roulette in the roulette effect than the other combinations.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to which kind of roulette is displayed, and the door closing effect will be executed by combining the winning eye images displayed in the central part on both the left and right sides in the roulette effect. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the rate of winning does not change.

In addition, by doing so, in the roulette effect, the roulette of the combination of the "chance" outcome images that suggests that the expectation level that both the left and right central parts are winning the ART is lower than the "great heat" When is selected, the door closing effect is executed, making it easier to develop into a continuous effect. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the door closing performance is difficult to execute than when the roulette is selected. As in the present embodiment, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, the door closing effect is performed when the combination of the displayed image of "chance" is selected for both the left and right central portions in the roulette effect. Although it is preferable to make it easy to execute, it may be difficult to execute the door closing effect when the combination of the "chance" outcome image is selected in the roulette effect on both the left and right center portions.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the effect mode of the door closing effect includes three types of normal door, red door, and gold door. While the ratio of selecting is high, when the ART is not won, the ratio of selecting the normal door and the red door is higher than the gold door. That is, depending on whether the door closing effect is a normal door, a red door, or a gold door, the rate at which ART winning is reported in subsequent continuous effects differs. In the second development pattern, when the door closing effect is executed, the normal door, red door, The selection rate of each gold door is different, and gold door is more likely to be selected when choosing the "chance" roll than when choosing the "hot heat" roll.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to whether to select the "chance" outcome or the "extreme heat" outcome in the roulette effect, and when the door closing effect is executed, the roulette The game is more interesting than a slot machine where the selection rate of normal door, red door, and gold door does not change depending on whether the type of outcome is 'chance' or 'extreme heat' when the effect is executed. do.

In addition, by doing so, the ART is won when the outcome of "Chance" is selected, which suggests that the degree of expectation for winning the ART is lower than that of "Extreme heat" in the roulette effect. The door closing effect of the gold door, which has the highest level of expectation, is executed, making it easier to develop into a continuous effect. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the door closing performance of the gold door is difficult to execute. It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, it is preferable to make it easier to execute the closing effect of the gold door when the outcome of "chance" is selected in the roulette effect. However, it may be difficult to execute the closing effect of the golden door when the outcome of "chance" is selected in the roulette effect.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the performance is executed according to the first development pattern, the timing at which the "development" outcome is selected in the roulette performance and when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern In addition, the timing at which the numbers of "chance" and "extreme heat" are selected in the roulette effect are both after the third stop, which is the same timing.
By doing so, the player can select whether the "development" outcome or the "chance" or "extreme heat" outcome is selected at the third stop when the outcome is displayed in the roulette effect. became interested in the timing of selecting the "development" roll in the roulette performance when the performance was performed according to the first development pattern, and the "chance" in the roulette performance when the performance was performed according to the second development pattern. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the timing for selecting the outcome of "Super heat" is different from that of the slot machine.

In the present embodiment, the timing of selecting the "development" outcome in the roulette performance when the performance is executed according to the first development pattern and the "chance" roulette performance when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern. , and the timing at which the outcome of "Super Heat" is selected is the third stop time, but it is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the MAX BET time of the next game, and the arrow image is stopped at the third stop time. , MAXBET, an enlarged character image corresponding to the outcome may be displayed.
It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, in order for the player to pay attention to the outcome displayed in the roulette effect, all outcomes are selected at the third stop. It is also possible not to select all outcomes. For example, if the outcome of "Loss" or "Chance" is selected, these outcomes may be displayed during the first stop or the second stop. The outcome may be displayed at any timing from the first stop to the third stop. In this case, similarly to the door closing effect, the timing for selecting the outcome in the roulette effect may be selectable from a plurality of timings (for example, MAXBET time, lever ON time, first stop time to third stop time).

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the roulette effect "advancement" image includes a blue character "advancement" appearance image and a red character "advancement" appearance image. Two types are included, and when the ART is won, the ratio of selecting the red letter "development" roll in the roulette effect is higher than the blue letter "development" roll. On the other hand, there are three types of door closing effects: normal door, red door, and gold door. When ART is not won, the ratio of choosing normal doors and red doors is higher than gold doors. In other words, depending on whether the "development" roll is red or blue in the roulette effect, the rate at which the ART winning is announced in the subsequent continuous effect will differ, and depending on whether the door closing effect is a normal door, a red door, or a gold door. There are two types of "development" pop-up images, while three types of door closing effects are different.
By doing so, the performance is executed according to the first development pattern in which "development" is selected in the roulette performance, or the performance is executed according to the second development pattern in which the door closing performance is executed after the roulette performance is executed. On the other hand, even if the performance is executed according to which of the first development pattern and the second development pattern, the player may have expectations according to the performance pattern. The game is more interesting than a slot machine in which the number of types of the "development" image is the same as the number of types of doors in the closing effect.

Here, in the present embodiment, in the first development pattern, since the roulette effect is executed after shifting to the premonitory period in which the roulette effect is likely to be executed, the winning combination is changed until the "development" outcome is selected. Based on the history of suggestive effects (history of internal lottery results), the history of winning hands, the type of roulette and the history of outcomes in roulette effects during the sign period, etc., the degree of expectation that players will be notified of winning ART in continuous effects. is easier to guess. On the other hand, in the second development pattern, there is a possibility that it will be executed without transitioning to the precursor period. may be executed. Therefore, when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern, the player is notified of the ART winning in the continuous performance based on the history described above rather than when the performance is executed according to the first development pattern after shifting to the sign period. It is becoming difficult to guess the level of expectations that will be given.

For this reason, in the present embodiment, the number of door types (three types) in the door closing effect is greater than the number of types (two types) of the "development" image, so that the player can see the second development pattern. The judgment materials for estimating the degree of expectation for notification of ART winning in the continuous performance when executed are increased.
By doing so, when the effect is executed according to the second notification effect pattern than in the slot machine where the number of types of doors in the door closing effect is not greater than the number of types of the "development" image. A player can easily guess the degree of expectation for notification of ART winning in the continuous performance, and the amusement of the game is further improved.

In this embodiment, there are two types of "development" pop-up images, and three types of door closing effects, but there may be one or three types of "development" pop-up images The number of door closing effects may be two or less, or four or more. However, when there are two or more types of the "development" pop-up image and two or more types of doors in the door closing effect, in order to enable the player to have a sense of expectation according to the effect pattern, " It is preferable that the number of types of the "development" image and the number of door types in the door closing effect are different, and the number of door types in the door closing effect is larger than the number of types of the "development" image. More preferably than the number.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the continuous effect includes a battle effect as an example of a specific notification effect and a castle search effect as an example of a notification effect different from the specific notification effect, When the battle effect is executed, the rate of ART winning notification is higher than when the castle search effect is executed. When the performance is executed according to the first development pattern in which "development" is selected in the roulette performance, the second development pattern in which the door closing performance is executed after "chance" or "development" is selected in the roulette performance. The ratio of executing the battle production is higher than when the production is executed according to.
By doing so, the effect is executed according to the first development pattern in which "development" is selected in the roulette effect, or the door closing effect is executed after "chance" or "development" is selected in the roulette effect. While the player pays attention to whether the performance is executed according to the second development pattern, the performance pattern does not matter whether the performance is executed according to which pattern of the first development pattern and the second development pattern. A slot machine enables a player to have a feeling of expectation correspondingly and does not change the ratio of execution of a specific notification performance between when the performance is executed according to the first development pattern and when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern. Also, the interest in the game is further improved.

In this embodiment, when the performance is executed according to the first development pattern, the possibility of announcing ART winning by continuous performance is higher than when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the effect is executed according to the first notification effect pattern, the proportion of the battle effect being executed is higher than when the effect is executed according to the second notification effect pattern, but it is not limited to this. First, the rate at which the battle effect is executed may be higher when the effect is executed according to the second notification effect pattern than when the effect is executed according to the first notification effect pattern. For example, by making it easier to select the second notification effect pattern than the first notification effect pattern when the rare combination is not won in the ninth game, the rate at which the battle effect is executed when the effect is executed according to the second notification effect pattern. can be increased.
By doing so, when the outcome of "Chance" or "Extreme heat" is selected, which suggests that the expectation of winning the ART is lower than "Development" in the roulette effect, the battle is performed as a continuous effect. The effect is more likely to be executed, and the battle effect is more likely to be executed when the outcome of ``development'' is selected in the roulette effect than when the outcome of ``chance'' or ``hot heat'' is selected. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved, and the amusement of the game is further improved.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first development pattern and the second development pattern depend on whether the internal lottery result of the ninth game is a winning of a rare role or a winning of a small role other than a losing or rare role. and the selectivity is different.
By doing so, the player is expected to develop a continuous performance based on the internal lottery result rather than the slot machine in which the selection ratio between the first development pattern and the second development pattern does not change depending on the internal lottery result of the ninth game. can be appealed to, and the amusement of the game is further improved.

In this embodiment, the selection rate between the first development pattern and the second development pattern changes depending on the internal lottery result of the ninth game, but the first development pattern and the second development pattern change depending on the internal lottery result of games other than the ninth game. The selection rate between the patterns may change. For example, the selection rate between the first developed pattern and the second developed pattern may change depending on the internal lottery result of the first game or the internal lottery result of the eighth game.
In addition, in the present embodiment, in order to appeal to the player to develop the continuous performance based on the internal lottery result, the first development pattern and the second development pattern are selected according to the internal lottery result of the ninth game. Although the ratio has changed, the selection ratio between the first development pattern and the second development pattern may not change depending on the internal lottery result of the ninth game. The selection rate between the first development pattern and the second development pattern may change depending on the selection result of period transition.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control section 91 can select the winning notification pattern for executing the winning notification effect as the effect pattern for ART winning. Here, the winning notification pattern is an effect pattern in which the winning notification effect is executed after executing the roulette effect and executing the door closing effect without selecting the outcome.
By doing so, the player feels that it is surprising that the door closing effect is executed without selecting the outcome after the roulette effect is executed, and the winning notification effect is executed. The unpredictability given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the performance is not executed according to the notification pattern.

In the present embodiment, the door closing effect is executed without selecting the outcome after the roulette effect is executed in order to make the player feel that the development of the winning notification effect is unexpected. After the execution of , the outcome of "development", "chance", or "extreme heat" may be selected, and then the door closing effect may be executed to develop the winning notification effect.
It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable to make the winning notification pattern selectable in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, but the winning notification pattern does not have to be selectable.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 controls the third stop (after the outcome is selected) after starting the execution of the roulette effect in the ninth game and the MAXBET of the next game. A door closing performance is executed at any timing selected from .
By doing so, the player pays attention to which timing of the third stop or MAXBET timing the door closing effect is executed, and the door closing effect is executed at a plurality of different timings. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the non-executable slot machine.

In the present embodiment, there are two types of execution timings for the door closing effect, that is, at the time of the third stop and at the time of MAXBET, but the timing is not limited to this, and may be three or more types. For example, it may be the time when the lever is turned on in the next game or the time of the first stop. In addition, when it is after the lever is turned on in the next game, it is necessary to adjust the execution timing of the continuous effect that is executed after the door closing effect is executed.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the execution timing of the door closing effect be selectable so that the player pays attention to the execution timing of the door closing effect. It may be executed at a predetermined execution timing (for example, at the time of the third stop) without selection.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the roulette effect is a selection effect of selecting any one of a plurality of types of appearing eye images. The rate at which the door closing effect is executed differs depending on the contents of the outcome.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to the outcome as an option, and the ratio of execution of the door closing performance does not change according to the content of the outcome selected as the performance result of the selection performance from the slot machine. Also, the interest in the game is further improved.

In the present embodiment, the type of roulette is changed by changing the displayed eye images in the center on both the left and right sides of the roulette effect, but the method for changing the type of roulette is not limited to this. Alternatively, a new outer frame may be provided to the roulette to change the color of the outer frame, a background outside the roulette may be provided to change the background color, or the decoration of the roulette itself may be changed. In this case, the color of the outer frame, the color of the background, and the splendor of the decoration may suggest the degree of expectation for winning the ART. Also, in this case, depending on the color of the outer frame, the background color, and the luxury of the decoration, the rate at which the outcome of "development", "chance", and "hot heat" is selected, the rate at which the door closing effect is executed, Each selection rate of the door type of the door closing effect may be changed.

In this embodiment, there are five types of roulette effects, namely, "Loss", "Chance", "Extreme Heat", "Development" in blue letters, and "Development" in red letters. However, the number of types may be 4 or less or 6 or more. If there are six or more types, for example, a "weak chance" suggesting that the expectation of winning ART is low, or a "strong chance" suggesting that the expectation is high may be newly added.
In addition, in the present embodiment, in the roulette effect, the displayed eye images in the center on both the left and right sides are selected and displayed from the eye images of "chance" or "heat", but other eye images can be selected. may be For example, "development" in red letters and "development" in blue letters may be selectable, and "weak chance" and "strong chance" may be newly added and made selectable. In this case, in order to make it easier for the player to feel that it is unexpected that the continuous performance develops, when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern, the roulette performance suggests that the expected value of ART winning is high. "Heat", "Strong Chance", "Development", etc. Shows that the expected value is lower than the "Chance" and "Weak Chance" images that can be selected and displayed in the center on both the left and right sides. In addition, it is preferable to make it easier to indicate the number of "chance" or "weak chance".

In the present embodiment, in the second development pattern, the door closing effect is executed after the outcome of "Chance" or "Extreme heat" is selected in the roulette effect, and the effect develops into a continuous effect. Similarly to the pattern, in the second developed pattern, the door closing effect may be executed without selecting the outcome in the roulette effect, and the continuous effect may be developed. In this case, as in Modification 1 explained with reference to FIGS. 17 to 19, for example, a roulette outcome selection table shown in FIG. 17 is used to select a roulette outcome selection table shown in FIG. may be used to select the type of door closing effect. At this time, the execution timing of the door closing effect may be, for example, after the second stop, and the execution timing of the continuous effect may be, for example, after MAXBET.

Here, as shown in FIG. 17, the outcome selection table of Modification 1 has no outcome regardless of the type of roulette when the ART is won and the execution game of the roulette effect is the normal period or the premonition period. is preset to a selectivity of 0%. On the other hand, the outcome selection table is a roulette wheel in which when the ART is won and the execution game of the roulette effect is the 9th game, which is the second development pattern, both the left and right center portions are the outcome images of "chance". If there is, the selection rate for the "chance" image is set to 80%, the selection rate for the "hot fever" image is 0%, and the selection rate for no outcome is preset to 20%. In the case of a roulette with a "chance" image on one side and a "hot heat" image on the other, the selection rate for the "chance" image is 40% and the "hot heat" image is selected. If the selection rate of the eye image is preset to 40% and the selection rate of no roll is set to 20%, and both the left and right central portions are the roulette with the "hot" eye image, the "chance" will be displayed. The selection rate of the pop image is preset to 0%, the selection rate of the "hot" pop image is 80%, and the selection rate of the no pop image is preset to 20%.

Further, in the outcome selection table, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is in the normal period or the sign period, regardless of the type of roulette, the selection rate of no outcome is set in advance to 0%. there is On the other hand, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the roulette effect is the ninth game, which is the second development pattern, the center part of both the left and right sides is a roulette with a "chance" image. If so, the selection rate for the "loss" image is 0%, the selection rate for the "chance" image is 90%, the selection rate for the "hot heat" image is 0%, and there is no outcome. is preset to a selection rate of 10%. The selection rate of the eye image is set to 0%, the selection rate of the "chance" image is 70%, the selection rate of the "heat" image is 20%, and the selection rate of the no outcome is preset to 10%. In the case of a roulette wheel in which both the left and right sides of the central part are “hot” images, the selection rate of the “loss” image is 0%, and the selection rate of the “chance” image is 0%. It is preset to 0%, a 90% selection rate for the "hot" dot image, and a 10% selection rate for no dot.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the door closing effect selection table of Modified Example 1 is such that, when transitioning to the portent effect, at the time of ART winning, if there is no roll in the roulette effect, the selection rate of the normal door is is 0%, the red door selection rate is 0%, and the gold door selection rate is 100%. The selection rate is preset to 50%, the selection rate for the red door is 30%, and the selection rate for the gold door is 20%. On the other hand, in the door closing effect selection table, if there is no transition to the omen effect, the normal door selection rate is 0%, and the red door selection rate is 0% if the roulette effect is not rolled at the time of winning the ART. is set to 60%, and the gold door selection rate is preset to 40%. The selection rate is preset to 30%, and the selection rate of the gold door is preset to 10%.

As a result, when the effect is executed according to the second development pattern, there may be a possibility that the door closing effect is executed without selecting the outcome of "chance" in the roulette effect. For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, a roulette effect is executed with a roulette image of "chance" in both the left and right center portions, and after the second stop, the roulette effect is interrupted and the red door is closed. There may be a possibility that the effect will be executed and the execution of the castle search effect will start after the MAXBET time of the next game.
By doing so, the player feels that it is unexpected that the door closing effect is executed without any roll in the roulette effect and develops into a continuous effect. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is improved as compared with the slot machine in which the closing performance is executed and the continuous performance is not developed.

[Embodiment 2]
In the first embodiment, the roulette effect is executed as an example of the suggestive effect, but other suggestive effects may be executed. Embodiment 2 in which a character appearance effect is executed as another suggestive effect will be described below.
In the present embodiment, detailed descriptions of portions having the same configuration and processing as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and portions that differ from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

[About production patterns]
In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a character appearance effect instead of the roulette effect. Here, the character appearance effect is an example of the first suggestion effect that suggests the result of the internal lottery or the result of the ART lottery. It is a production that As shown in FIG. 25, the character appearance effect of this embodiment is provided in the center with a suggestive role image in which the first character of the minor role (suggestive role) provided on the left and right sides of the liquid crystal display 51 is surrounded by a circle. After displaying an image of a pointing character and a text image of "Which is it?" It is a production that displays Therefore, in the character appearance effect of the present embodiment, for example, when the replay is won, the image of the friendly character pointing to the suggestive role image of "replay (winning role)" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "cherry" on the right side. After the character image "Which one?" is displayed, there is a possibility that the remark image "Development" will be displayed after the third stop.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the minor role winning indication effect is likely to be executed during the normal period, while the character appearance effect is likely to be executed during the precursor period. Further, in the present embodiment, when the character appearance effect is selected, the sub-control unit 91 selects the type of suggesting role image and the utterance of the teammate character. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 selects the type of suggesting role using the suggesting role selection table shown in FIG. 23, and selects the statement of the teammate character using the statement selection table shown in FIG.

Here, the suggesting hand selection table is a table for selecting the type of suggesting hand. In this embodiment, it is possible to select the type of the image of the center of the left and right sides of the roulette effect from the image of the "chance" image and the image of the "very hot" image. In this embodiment, as types of suggestive role images on both the left and right sides in the character appearance effect, one is a suggestive role image (winning role or losing) based on the actual internal lottery result, and the other is a "replay" suggestive role image and a "replay" suggestive role image. It is possible to select from the suggestive role image of "Cherry".

As shown in FIG. 23, the suggesting hand selection table of the present embodiment has a winning hand on the left side when the execution game of the character appearance effect is the normal period, the sign period, or the ninth game which is the first development pattern. The selection rate of the suggestive role image (including lost) and the right side is the "Replay" suggestive role image is 30%, and the selection rate of the left side is the "Replay" suggestive role image and the right side is the winning role suggestive role image. 35%, the selection rate is 15%, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the suggesting role image of "Cherry", the left side is the suggesting role image of "Cherry" and the right side is the suggesting role image of the winning role. A rate of 20% is set in advance. On the other hand, in the suggesting role selection table, when the execution game of the character appearance effect is the 9th game which is the second development pattern, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role (including losing) and the right side is the suggesting role of "replay". The selection rate for the image is 40%, the left side is the suggesting role image of "Replay" and the right side is the winning role suggesting role image. The selection rate is 45%, the left side is the winning role suggesting role image and the right side is "Cherry". The selection rate of the suggesting role image is preset to 5%, and the selection rate of the suggesting role image of "cherry" on the left side and the winning role suggesting role image on the right side is 10%.

The utterance selection table is a table for selecting the type of utterance (utterance image) of a teammate character. As shown in FIG. 24, the statement selection table of the present embodiment is such that when an ART is won and the execution game of the character appearance effect is in the normal period, the left side is the winning combination image and the right side is the suggestion of "replay". In the case of a character appearance effect as a role image, the selection rate of the utterance image of "chance" is preset to 100%, and the selection rate of the utterance image of "very hot" is preset to 0%. If the right side of the suggesting role image is a character appearance effect in which the right side is the suggesting role image of the winning role, the selection rate of the "chance" statement image is set to 95%, and the selection rate of the "hot heat" statement image is preset to 5%. It is In addition, when the ART is won, if the character appearance effect execution game is in the normal period, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the suggesting role image of "Cherry". For example, the selection rate of the comment image of "chance" is preset to 50%, and the selection rate of the comment image of "hot fever" is preset to 50%. In the case of a character appearance effect that serves as a suggestive role image, the selection rate of the utterance image of "chance" is preset to 0%, and the selection rate of the utterance image of "very hot" is preset to 100%.

On the other hand, in the statement selection table, when the ART is won and the execution game of the character appearance effect is the 9th game, which is the premonition period or the second development pattern, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the "replay". In the case of a character appearance effect that serves as a suggestive role image, the selection rate of the utterance image of "chance" is preset to 100%, and the selection rate of the utterance image of "hot heat" is preset to 0%, and the left side is "replay". If the right side of the image of the suggesting role is the image of the suggesting role of the winning role, the selection rate of the remark image of "chance" is 95%, and the selection rate of the remark image of "hot heat" is set to 5% in advance. is set. In addition, when the ART is won, if the character appearance effect execution game is in the normal period, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the suggesting role image of "Cherry". For example, the selection rate of the utterance image of "chance" is set to 25%, and the selection rate of the utterance image of "hot fever" is preset to 75%. In the case of a character appearance effect that serves as a suggestive role image, the selection rate of the utterance image of "chance" is preset to 0%, and the selection rate of the utterance image of "very hot" is preset to 100%.

On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the statement selection table is a character appearance effect in which the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the suggesting role image of "replay" when the game is in the normal period. If there is, the selection rate of no speech is set to 100%, the selection rate of the "chance" speech image is set to 0%, and the selection rate of the "hot" speech image is preset to 0%. If the right side is the image of the suggesting role and the image of the suggesting role of the winning role is the character appearance effect, the selection rate of no statement is 98%, the selection rate of the "chance" statement image is 2%, and the "hot heat" statement. The image selection rate is preset to 0%. In addition, when the ART is won, if the character appearance effect execution game is in the normal period, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the suggesting role image of "Cherry". For example, the selection rate of no speech is set to 97%, the selection rate of the speech image of "chance" is set to 2%, and the selection rate of the speech image of "hot heat" is set to 1%. If the right side of the image of the suggestion role is the image of the suggestion role of the winning role, the selection rate of no statement is 94%, the selection rate of the statement image of "chance" is 4%, and the statement image of "hot heat". is preset to 2%.

On the other hand, in the statement selection table, when the ART is not won and the execution game of the character appearance effect is the 9th game which is the premonition period or the second development pattern, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is "Replay". , the selection rate of no statement is 0%, the selection rate of the statement image of "chance" is 100%, and the selection rate of the statement image of "hot heat" is set to 0% in advance. If it is set and the left side is the suggestive role image of "replay" and the right side is the suggestive role image of the winning role, the selection rate of no statement is 0%, and the selection rate of the "chance" statement image. is set to 98%, and the selection rate of the utterance image of "extreme heat" is set to 2%. In addition, when the ART is won, if the character appearance effect execution game is in the normal period, the left side is the suggesting role image of the winning role and the right side is the suggesting role image of "Cherry". For example, the selection rate of no message is set to 0%, the selection rate of the message image of "chance" is set to 97%, and the selection rate of the message image of "hot heat" is set to 3%. If the right side of the image of the suggesting role is the image of the suggesting role of the winning role, the selection rate of no speech is 0%, the selection rate of the speech image of "Chance" is 94%, and the speech image of "Gekiatsu". is preset to 6%. In this embodiment, regardless of the result of the ART lottery or the type of suggestive role, if the execution game of the character appearance effect is the ninth game, which is the first development pattern, the "development" statement image is selected.

As shown in FIG. 20, the sub-control unit 91 selects a battle effect or a winning notification effect as the notification effect when shifting to the precursor period in the fifth game when the ART is won. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to execute the minor role winning suggestive effect during the normal period, and even if the character appearance effect is executed, at least one of the left and right sides is likely to display the suggestive role image of "Replay". Display a speech image of "Chance" or "Extreme heat" after the stop. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 can easily execute the character appearance effect after the transition to the sign period, and displays the suggestive character image of "Replay" for at least one of the left and right sides and "Extreme heat" for the other as in the normal period. After the third stop, it is easy to display the utterance image of "very hot".

Further, when executing the battle effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 selects either the first development pattern or the second development pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game. In the present embodiment, the first development pattern is a rendering pattern in which the utterance image of "development" is displayed after the third stop in the character appearance rendering executed in the ninth game, and then the continuous rendering is executed in the tenth game and thereafter. . On the other hand, in the second development pattern, after the third stop in the character appearance effect executed in the ninth game, after displaying the speech image of "Chance" or "Extreme Heat", the door closing effect is executed, and after the 10th game. This is an effect pattern in which a continuous effect is executed during the period. Note that the door closing effect selection table of this embodiment is the same as the door closing effect selection table of the first embodiment shown in FIG. , the illustration and detailed description are omitted to reduce redundant description.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the premonition period at the time of ART winning and executes the battle effect in the 10th game. While it is easy to execute the effect according to the pattern, it is easy to execute the effect according to the second development pattern in the 9th game if the rare combination is won. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the character appearance effect and displays the utterance image “development” when executing the effect according to the first development pattern, and displays the character appearance effect when executing the effect according to the second development pattern. After executing the appearance effect and displaying the remark image of "Chance" or "Fever", the closing effect of the golden door is executed. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to display a suggestive combination image of “Replay” on at least one of the left and right sides in the character appearance effect, and to easily execute the door closing effect after the MAXBET of the next game.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the sign period at the time of ART winning and executes the winning notification effect in the 10th game, it executes the effect in accordance with the winning notification pattern in the 9th game. In the present embodiment, the winning notification pattern is a performance pattern in which no remark image is displayed in the character appearance performance, the character appearance performance is interrupted, the door closing performance is executed, and then the winning notification performance is executed in the 10th game. . When the sub-control part 91 executes the performance according to the winning notification pattern, the sub-control part 91 executes the character appearance performance, does not display the remark image, and executes the golden door closing performance after the second stop. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 tends to display the suggestive role image of "Replay" on at least one of the left and right sides, similarly to the character appearance effect executed in the second development pattern.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21, the sub-control unit 91 selects the castle hunting effect or the winning notification effect as the notification effect when the ART win does not shift to the sign period. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to execute the minor role winning suggestive effect during the normal period, and even if the character appearance effect is executed, at least one of the left and right sides is likely to display the suggestive role image of "Replay". Display a speech image of "Chance" or "Extreme heat" after the stop. In this case, when executing the castle search effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect in accordance with the second development pattern in the ninth game, and at least one of the right and left sides is a hinting role image of "replay". It is easy to execute a character appearance effect, to display a remark image of "chance" after the third stop, and to execute a door closing effect of a red door after display of the remark image or after MAXBET of the next game. On the other hand, when executing the winning notification effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the winning notification pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game, executes the character appearance effect, and does not display the remark image. After the second stop, the golden door closing performance is executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the sub-control unit 91 may decide to execute the notification effect in the tenth game even when the ART is not won. Regardless of whether or not the transition to the period is made, it is easier to select the castle search effect than the battle effect as the notification effect. In addition, when the ART is not won and the transition is made to the sign period, the sub-control unit 91 easily executes the small win winning indication effect during the normal period, and even if the roulette effect is executed, at least one of the left and right sides is "replay". It is easy to select roulette, and it is difficult to display a speech image after the third stop. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 is likely to execute the character appearance effect after the transition to the precursor period, to easily display the suggestive role image of "replay" on at least one of the left and right sides in the same manner as in the normal period, and to It is easy to display the utterance image of "chance".

Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 tends to execute the effect according to the first development pattern if the rare role is not won in the ninth game, while the effect is according to the second development pattern if the rare role is won in the ninth game. easy to implement. The sub-control unit 91 executes the character appearance effect and displays the utterance image of "development" after the third stop when executing the effect according to the first development pattern, and when executing the effect according to the second development pattern, At least one of the left and right sides executes the character appearance performance with the suggesting role image of ``replay'', displays the utterance image of ``chance'' after the third stop, and then easily executes the door closing performance of the normal door.

In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 does not shift to the sign period when the ART is not won, the sub-control unit 91 easily executes the small role winning suggestion effect during the normal period, and even if the character appearance effect is executed, at least one of the left and right sides is "replay". It is easy to display the suggestive image for the third stop, and it is difficult to display the utterance image after the third stop. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, and at least one of the left and right sides is likely to execute the character appearance effect of the suggestive role image of "replay", and the third stop. It is easy to execute the door closing effect of the normal door after displaying the utterance image of "chance" later.
Although illustration is omitted, when the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the notification effect in the tenth game when the ART is not won, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the non-development pattern, which is the effect pattern in the normal period. Therefore, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the performance according to the non-development pattern, the sub-control unit 91 easily executes the performance suggesting the winning of a minor role, and even if the performance of character appearance is executed, at least one of the left and right sides shows a suggesting role image of "replay". It is easy to display, and it is difficult to display the speech image after the third stop.

As a result, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the ART is not won in normal times, and the performance is executed according to the non-development pattern, and the performance suggesting the winning of a minor winning combination is likely to be executed. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 26, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed, and after several games the lever is turned on, the replay is internally won and the replay winning suggestion effect is executed, and further several games. Even after the lever is turned on later, there is a possibility that the replay win is internally won and the replay win suggesting effect is executed. In addition, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, Bell is internally elected, and the character appearance effect is executed with the suggestive role image of "Bell" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "Replay" on the right side, and the remark image is displayed after the third stop. may not be Further, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won, and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed. After the lever is turned on, there is a possibility that the replay is internally won and the replay winning suggestion effect is executed, and furthermore, after several games after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed.

Further, in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when an ART is won, there is a high possibility that the effect will be executed according to the first development pattern after shifting to the sign period. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 27, when the cherry is internally won after the lever is turned on and the ART is also simultaneously won, the cherry winning suggestion effect is executed, and after the lever is turned on after several games, the bell is internally won and the bell is suggested to be won. A performance may be performed. In addition, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, the replay is internally won, and the character appearance effect is executed with the suggestive role image of "Replay" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "Cherry" on the right side, and after the third stop, "Extreme heat" is displayed, and after the lever is turned on in the next game, it becomes a loss, and the character appearance effect is executed with the image on the left that suggests "loss" and the image on the right that suggests "replay", and after the third stop, "Chance ” image may be displayed.

In addition, after the lever is turned on in the next game, the bell is internally won, and the roulette effect is executed with the suggestive role image of "Cherry" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "Bell" on the right side, and after the third stop, the statement of "Extreme heat" is made. The image is displayed, and after the lever is turned on in the next game, the replay is internally won, and the character appearance effect is executed with the role images suggesting "replay" on both left and right sides, and the image of the remark of "great heat" is displayed after the third stop. there is a possibility. Then, after the lever is turned on in the next game, Bell is internally elected, and the character appearance effect is executed with the suggestive image of "Bell" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "Replay" on the right side, and after the third stop, "Development" is said. An image is displayed, and there is a possibility that the execution of the battle effect will start after the lever is turned on in the next game.

Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, there is a possibility that the effect will be executed suddenly according to the second development pattern without transitioning to the sign period regardless of the ART lottery result. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 28, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed. Even after the lever is turned on later, there is a possibility that the replay win is internally won and the replay win suggesting effect is executed. In addition, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, Bell is internally elected, and the character appearance effect is executed with the suggestive role image of "Replay" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "Bell" on the right side, and after the third stop, "Chance". A message image is displayed, and after the MAX BET of the next game, the closing effect of the red door is executed, and after the lever is turned on, there is a possibility that the execution of the castle search effect is started.

Also, in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, if an ART is won, there is a possibility that an effect will be executed immediately according to the winning notification pattern without transitioning to the sign period. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 29, when the cherry is internally won after the lever is turned on and the ART is also simultaneously won, the cherry winning suggestion effect is executed, and after the lever is turned on after several games, the bell is internally won and the bell is suggested to be won. An effect is executed, and there is a possibility that an internal win for replay is made after the lever is turned on after several games, and a replay winning suggestion effect is executed. In addition, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, Bell is internally elected, and the character appearance effect is executed with the suggestive role image of "Replay" on the left side and the suggestive role image of "Bell" on the right side, and after the second stop, the character appearance effect is performed. There is a possibility that the door closing effect of the golden door is interrupted and the winning notification effect is executed after the lever is turned on in the next game.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first development pattern is a performance pattern in which the character appearance performance is executed, the utterance image of "development" is displayed, and then the continuous performance develops. be. On the other hand, the second development pattern is a production pattern in which the character appearance production is executed and the remark image of "development" is not displayed and the continuous production develops. is displayed, the door closing effect is executed, and then the continuous effect develops.
By doing so, the player feels that it is unexpected that the character appearance effect develops into a continuous effect even if the speech image of "development" is not displayed. '' is improved in the unexpectedness given to the player and the amusement of the game is improved as compared with the slot machine which develops into a continuous performance only after the display of the remark image.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the character appearance effect includes suggestive role images such as "bell", "replay", "watermelon", and "cherry" that suggest winning roles. . Further, when the effect is executed according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, at least one of the right and left sides of the character appearance effect is likely to display the suggestive combination image of "Replay". That is, when the character appearance effect is executed and the suggestive role image of "replay" is displayed, the door closing effect is more likely to be executed than when the suggestive role image of "cherry" is displayed.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to whether the character appearance effect is executed and the suggestive role image of "Replay" or the suggestive role image of "Cherry" is displayed, and the character appears. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the rate at which the door closing performance is executed does not change depending on whether 'replay' or 'cherry' is included in the suggestive role image when the performance is executed. .

In addition, by doing so, the door closing effect is executed when the hint role image of "Replay" is displayed, which suggests that the expectation of winning the ART in the character appearance effect is lower than "Cherry". This makes it easier to develop into a continuous production, and when the suggestive role image of 'Replay' is displayed in the character appearance production, it is more difficult to execute the door closing production than when the suggestive role image of 'Cherry' is displayed. Also, the unexpectedness given to the player is improved, and the amusement of the game is further improved. It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, it is preferable to make it easier to execute the door closing effect when the "replay" suggestion role image is displayed in the character appearance effect. , it may be difficult to execute the door closing effect when the suggestive role image of "replay" is displayed in the character appearance effect.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the character appearance effect is the effect of selecting and displaying one of the left and right suggestive role images as the type of the suggestive role image from "replay" or "cherry". is. In addition, when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, at least one of the right and left sides of the suggestive role images of ``Replay'' is more likely to be selected than other combinations in the character appearance performance. That is, in the second development pattern, at least one of the right and left sides of the suggestive role image of "replay" in the character appearance effect is more likely to execute the door closing effect than the other combinations.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to which combination the suggestive role image is displayed, and the door closing effect is executed according to the combination of the suggestive role images displayed on the left and right sides in the character appearance effect. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the rate of winning does not change.

In addition, by doing so, in the character appearance effect, at least one of the left and right sides wins the ART, and the character appearance of the combination of the suggestive role image of "Replay", which suggests that the expectation is lower than that of "Cherry". When the effect is executed, the door closing effect is executed, making it easier to develop into a continuous effect. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the door closing performance is less likely to be executed than when it is selected. As in the present embodiment, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, when at least one of the left and right sides of the character appearance effect is selected as a combination of suggestive role images of "Replay", the door closing effect is performed. Although it is preferable to make it easy to execute, it may be difficult to execute the door closing effect when at least one of the right and left sides of the character appearance effect is selected as a combination of suggestive role images of "Replay".

Further, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the second development pattern, when the door closing effect is executed, the speech image of "Chance" is displayed in the character appearance effect, or the image of "Extreme Heat" is displayed. Depending on whether the message image of is displayed, the selection rate of the normal door, red door, and gold door is different. Gold doors are more likely to be chosen than ever before.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to whether the ``chance'' statement image is displayed or the ``hot heat'' statement image is displayed in the character appearance effect, and the door closing effect is executed. The game is more interesting than a slot machine where the selection rate of normal door, red door, and gold door does not change depending on whether the type of remark when the character appearance effect is executed is "chance" or "extreme heat" is further improved.

In addition, by doing so, when the speech image of "chance" is displayed, which suggests that the expectation of winning the ART in the character remark effect is lower than that of "extreme heat", the ART is won. The door closing effect of the gold door, which has the highest degree of expectation, is executed, making it easier to develop into a continuous effect, and in the character appearance effect, the image of the image of "Chance" is displayed, but the image of the image of "Intense heat" is displayed. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the door closing performance of the gold door is more difficult to execute. It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, it is possible to make it easier to execute the door closing effect of the gold door when the utterance image of "chance" is displayed in the character appearance effect. Although it is preferable, it may be difficult to execute the closing effect of the golden door when the utterance image of "chance" is displayed in the character appearance effect.

In the present embodiment, the number of types of utterance images for the "development" of the character appearance effect is one, but the present invention is not limited to this. In order to allow the player to have a sense of expectation according to the production pattern even if the production is executed according to the production pattern of , two types (for example, "development" and "super development ' remark image).
In addition, the slot machine 1 according to this embodiment has the same effects as the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, the winning role is suggested by the suggesting role images on both the left and right sides in the character appearance effect, but the suggestion of the winning role is not limited to this. may be suggested. Even in this case, it is preferable not to omit the display of the suggestive combination images on both the left and right sides so that the player can pay attention to which combination the suggestive combination images are displayed.
In the present embodiment, the statement image in the character appearance production indicates the degree of expectation of winning the ART, but the suggestion of the degree of expectation of winning the ART is not limited to this. You may also suggest the degree of expectation of ART winning. In this case, display of the utterance image may be omitted.

In this embodiment, it is possible to display the remark image in the character appearance effect, and in the second development pattern, the door closing effect is executed after the remark image of "Chance" or "Intense heat" is displayed, resulting in a continuous effect. The present invention is not limited to this, and the door closing effect may be executed without displaying the remark image in the character appearance effect to develop into a continuous effect. Even in this case, in the first development pattern, it is necessary to display the utterance image of "development" (development utterance effect) and then develop the continuous effect.

In this case, as in Modification 2 explained with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31, an effect may be performed according to the first development pattern and the second development pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 30, in the first development pattern, the speech image is not displayed after the third stop after the character appearance effect is executed, while the character appearance effect is executed one game before the continuous effect. After the development speech effect is executed after the third stop, the battle effect may be executed after the lever is turned on in the next game. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 31, in the second development pattern, no statement image is displayed at all after the third stop after the character appearance effect is executed, and the door closing effect is executed after the MAXBET of the next game. After the lever is turned on, a castle search effect may be executed.
By doing so, the player feels that it is unexpected that the door closing effect is executed without executing the advanced remark effect after the character appearance effect is executed, and the continuous effect develops. The unexpectedness given to a player is improved and the amusement of a game is improved as compared with a slot machine in which a door closing performance is executed without executing a development remark performance after execution of an appearance performance and a continuous performance is not developed.

[Embodiment 3]
In Embodiments 1 and 2 above, the minor winning combination suggesting effect is not developed into a continuous effect, but the minor role winning suggesting effect, which is an example of the suggestive effect, may develop into a continuous effect. Embodiment 3 will be described below, in which the performance suggesting the winning of a small winning combination develops into a continuous performance.
In the present embodiment, detailed descriptions of portions having the same configuration and processing as those of Embodiments 1 and 2 are omitted, and portions different from those of Embodiments 1 and 2 are mainly described.

[About production patterns]
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the minor winning winning suggestion effect during the normal period and the precursor period, and does not execute the roulette effect or the character appearance effect. In addition, in the present embodiment, the sub-control section 91 selects an effect to be executed after the third stop in which the execution of the minor winning combination suggestion effect is finished. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 selects the effect after the third stop using the effect selection table after the third stop shown in FIG. Here, the effect selection table after the third stop is a table for selecting the type of effect after the third stop.

Here, in the present embodiment, as effects that may be executed after the third stop, chance effects shown in FIG. 36(A), intense heat effects shown in FIG. 36(B), and FIG. The development effect shown in is set in advance. Incidentally, the chance effect is a effect suggesting that there is a possibility that the ART is won. As shown in FIG. 36A, the chance effect of this embodiment is a effect of displaying a character image of "Chance!!". Also, the intense heat effect is a effect suggesting that there is a high possibility that the ART has been won. As shown in FIG. 36B, the intense heat effect of the present embodiment is an effect in which the character image of "Super heat!!" is displayed larger than the character image of "Chance!!" of the chance effect. Further, the development production is a production that suggests that the performance will develop into a continuous production. As shown in FIG. 36(C), the development effect of the present embodiment is a effect in which the character image of "Development!!" is displayed larger than the character image of "Extreme heat!!"

As shown in FIG. 35, the effect selection table after the third stop of the present embodiment is such that when an ART is won, if the execution game of the effect is in the normal period, if the internal lottery result is that the rare role is not won, the effect The selection rate of none is 90%, the selection rate of chance performance is 8%, and the selection rate of intense heat performance is preset to 2%. 80%, the selection rate of the chance presentation is set to 15%, and the selection rate of the intense heat presentation is preset to 5%. On the other hand, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is won, if the execution game of the effect is the ninth game that is the premonition period or the second development pattern, and if the internal lottery result is a rare role not won, The selection rate of no effect is set to 0%, the selection rate of chance effect is 80%, and the selection rate of intense heat effect is preset to 20%. is preset to 0%, the selection rate of the chance presentation is 20%, and the selection rate of the intense heat presentation is preset to 80%.

In addition, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is not won, if the effect execution game is in the normal period, if the internal lottery result is that the rare hand is not won, the selection rate of no effect is 100%. The chance production selection rate is preset to 0%, and the intense heat production selection rate is preset to 0%. If the internal lottery results in winning a rare role, the selection rate of no production is 97%, and the selection rate of chance production is 97%. is preset to 2%, and the selection rate of intense heat effect is preset to 1%. On the other hand, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the effect is the ninth game that is the premonition period or the second development pattern, and if the internal lottery result is a rare role, , the selection rate of no performance is preset to 0%, the selection rate of chance performance is 95%, and the selection rate of intense heat performance is preset to 5%. The rate is preset to 0%, the chance performance selection rate is 90%, and the intense heat performance selection rate is preset to 10%. Note that, in the present embodiment, if the execution game of the effect is the ninth game corresponding to the first development pattern, the development effect is selected regardless of the ART lottery result or the internal lottery result.

As shown in FIG. 32, the sub-control unit 91 selects the battle effect or the winning notification effect as the notification effect when shifting to the precursor period in the fifth game when the ART is won. In this case, while the sub-control section 91 executes the minor winning combination suggestion effect during the normal period, it is difficult to execute the effect after the third stop. Further, in this case, the sub-control section 91 can easily execute the minor win winning suggestion effect even after the transition to the sign period, and can easily execute the intense heat effect after the third stop.

Further, when executing the battle effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 selects either the first development pattern or the second development pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game. In the present embodiment, the first development pattern is a performance pattern in which a minor win winning indication performance is executed in the ninth game, a development performance is executed after the third stop, and then a continuous performance is executed in the tenth and subsequent games. On the other hand, in the second development pattern, a small win suggestion effect is executed in the ninth game, a chance effect or a hot passion effect is executed after the third stop, and then a door closing effect is executed, and then continuously from the tenth game onwards. This is an effect pattern for executing an effect. In addition, the door closing effect selection table of the present embodiment has "roulette effect result" as "effect after execution of notification effect", "chance" as "chance effect", and "hot heat". If it is called "heat effect", the description is the same as that of the door closing effect selection table of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 32, the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the premonition period at the time of ART winning and executes the battle effect in the 10th game. While it is easy to execute the effect according to the pattern, it is easy to execute the effect according to the second development pattern in the 9th game if the rare combination is won. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes a minor win winning suggestion effect when executing the effect according to the first development pattern, and executes the development effect after the third stop, while executing the effect according to the second development pattern. , a performance suggesting winning a small winning combination is executed, and after the third stop, a chance performance or a hot performance is executed, and then a door closing performance of a gold door is executed. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 easily executes the door closing effect after the MAXBET of the next game.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the sign period at the time of ART winning and executes the winning notification effect in the 10th game, it executes the effect in accordance with the winning notification pattern in the 9th game. In the present embodiment, the winning notification pattern is an effect pattern in which the effect after the third stop is not executed, the effect suggesting the winning of a minor combination is interrupted, the door closing effect is executed, and then the winning notification effect is executed in the 10th game. is. When the performance is executed according to the winning notification pattern, the sub-control part 91 executes the performance suggesting the winning of a minor winning combination, does not execute the performance after the third stop, and executes the door closing performance of the gold door after the second stop without executing the performance after the third stop.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 33, the sub-control unit 91 selects the castle search effect or the winning notification effect as the notification effect when the ART win does not shift to the sign period. In this case, while the sub-control section 91 executes the minor winning winning indication effect during the normal period, it is difficult to execute the effect after the third stop. Further, in this case, when executing the castle search effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect in accordance with the second development pattern in the ninth game, and executes the effect suggesting winning a minor winning combination, and then the third stop. It is easy to execute the chance performance later, and it is easy to execute the closing performance of the red door after the execution of the chance performance or after the MAXBET of the next game. On the other hand, when executing the winning notification effect in the tenth game, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect in accordance with the winning notification pattern as the effect pattern in the ninth game, executes the minor win winning indication effect, and performs the effect after the third stop. The door closing performance of the gold door is executed after the second stop without executing the performance.

Further, as shown in FIG. 34, the sub-control unit 91 may decide to execute the notification effect in the tenth game even when the ART is not won. Regardless of whether or not the transition to the period is made, it is easier to select the castle search effect than the battle effect as the notification effect. In addition, when shifting to the sign period when the ART is not won, the sub-control section 91 executes the minor winning combination winning suggestion effect during the normal period, but it is difficult to execute the effect after the third stop. Further, in this case, the sub-control section 91 can easily execute the minor win winning suggestion effect after the transition to the precursor period and the chance effect after the third stop.

Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 tends to execute the effect according to the first development pattern if the rare role is not won in the ninth game, while the effect is according to the second development pattern if the rare role is won in the ninth game. easy to implement. The sub-control unit 91 executes a minor winning combination suggestion performance when executing the performance according to the first development pattern, and executes the development performance after the third stop, while executing the performance according to the second development pattern. It is easy to execute the closing performance of the normal door after executing the winning suggestion performance and executing the chance performance after the third stop.

In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 does not shift to the sign period when the ART is not won, the sub-control unit 91 executes the minor win winning suggestion effect during the normal period, but it is difficult to execute the effect after the third stop. Further, in this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes an effect according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, executes an effect suggesting winning a minor winning combination, executes a chance effect after the third stop, and then closes the normal door. It is easy to carry out the production.
Although illustration is omitted, when the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the notification effect in the tenth game when the ART is not won, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect according to the non-development pattern, which is the effect pattern in the normal period. Therefore, when the sub-control section 91 executes the effect according to the non-development pattern, it executes the effect suggesting the winning of a minor winning combination, but it is difficult to execute the effect after the third stop.

As a result, in the present embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, the ART is not won in normal times, and the performance is executed according to the non-development pattern, so that the minor win-win suggestion performance is likely to be executed. Also, in this embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, when an ART is won, there is a high possibility that the effect will be executed according to the first development pattern after shifting to the precursor period. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 37, when the cherry is internally won after the lever is turned on and the ART is also simultaneously won, the cherry winning suggestion effect is executed, and after a few games, the bell is internally won and the bell is suggested to be won after the lever is turned on. A performance may be performed.

Further, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, the replay win is internally won, and the replay winning suggesting effect is executed. After the third stop, the chance effect is executed. Suggestive effect (for example, the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 emits white light, suggesting that there is a possibility of losing while there is a possibility of winning one of the small wins, so-called white There is a possibility that a navigation effect is executed, and a chance effect is executed after the third stop. In addition, after the lever is turned on in the next game, watermelon is internally won and the watermelon winning suggestion effect is executed, after the third stop, the intense heat effect is executed, and after the lever is turned on in the next game, it is lost and the white navigation effect is executed. There is a possibility that the chance presentation will be executed after the third stop. Then, after the lever is turned on in the next game, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion performance is executed, after the third stop, the development performance is executed, and after the lever is turned on in the next game, there is a possibility that the execution of the battle performance is started.

Also, in this embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, there is a possibility that the effect will be executed suddenly according to the second development pattern without transitioning to the sign period regardless of the ART lottery result. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 38, after the lever is turned on, the bell is internally won and the bell winning suggestion effect is executed. Even after the lever is turned on later, there is a possibility that the replay win is internally won and the replay win suggesting effect is executed. In addition, after a few games, after the lever is turned on, a white navigation effect is executed as a loss, a chance effect is executed after the third stop, a red door closing effect is executed after the MAX BET of the next game, and a castle search is executed after the lever is turned on. Execution of the rendition may begin.

Also, in this embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, if an ART is won, there is a possibility that an effect will be executed immediately according to the winning notification pattern without transitioning to the sign period. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 39, when the cherry is internally won after the lever is turned on and the ART is also simultaneously won, the cherry winning suggestion effect is executed, and after the lever is turned on after several games, the bell is internally won and the bell is suggested to be won. A performance may be performed. Further, after several games, after the lever is turned on, the replay is internally won and the replay winning suggesting effect is executed, and after the second stop, the replay winning suggesting effect is interrupted and the golden door closing effect is executed, and the lever is turned on in the next game. There is a possibility that the winning notification effect will be executed later.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first development pattern is a performance pattern in which the development performance is executed after the performance suggesting winning a minor winning combination is executed, and then the continuous performance develops. On the other hand, the second development pattern is a production pattern in which the development production is not executed after the production suggesting winning a minor role is executed, and the production develops into a continuous production. This is a performance pattern in which a door closing performance is executed after being executed, and then a continuous performance is developed.
By doing so, the player feels that it is surprising that the development to the continuous performance will develop even if the development performance is not executed after the minor winning winning suggestion performance is executed. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is improved as compared with the slot machine which develops into a continuous performance only when the development performance is executed after the execution of .

In addition, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the minor winning indication indication includes a bell winning indication indication indicating a winning combination, a replay winning indication indication, a watermelon winning indication indication, a cherry winning indication indication, and the like. ing. Further, when the performance is executed according to the second development pattern in the ninth game, when the rare role winning suggestion performance such as watermelon or cherry is executed as the minor role winning suggestion performance, the minor role winning suggestion performance other than the rare role winning suggestion performance is executed. Chance production and intense heat production are more likely to be executed than when is executed. Therefore, it is easier for the player to execute the door closing effect when the rare role winning suggesting effect is executed than when the minor role winning suggesting effect other than the rare role is executed.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to whether the rare role winning suggesting effect is executed or the minor role winning suggesting effect other than the rare role winning suggesting effect is executed, and the rare role winning suggesting effect is executed. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the rate of execution of the door closing performance does not change depending on whether or not the minor winning combination winning suggestion performance other than the rare combination is executed.

In the present embodiment, the small winning combination indication effect in which the symbol image of the winning combination is displayed is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the symbol images of "replay" and "cherry" which are not actually won may also be displayed. That is, the symbol images of a plurality of minor combinations including the winning combination may be displayed. In this case, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, when the pattern image of "replay" is displayed, which suggests that the expectation of winning the ART is lower than that of "cherry", the door closing effect is performed. It may be easy to develop into a continuous performance by being executed.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to which combination the symbol images are displayed, and the rate at which the door closing effect is executed according to the combination of the symbol images displayed in the minor winning winning indication effect. Amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which .

In addition, by doing so, for example, a small combination win suggestion effect of a combination of symbol images of "replay" suggesting that the expectation that at least one of them has won the ART is lower than that of "cherry" is executed. When the door closing effect is executed, it becomes easy to develop into a continuous effect, and in the minor winning winning effect suggesting effect, it is better to select a combination of suggesting role images in which at least one is "replay" than when other combinations are selected. The unexpectedness given to the player is improved and the amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the slot machine in which the door closing performance is difficult to execute. In addition, in order to improve the unexpectedness given to the player, it is preferable to make it easier to execute the door closing effect when at least one of the combination of symbol images of "replay" is selected in the minor winning winning indication effect. It may be difficult to execute the door closing effect when at least one of the combination of the symbol images of "Replay" is selected in the minor winning winning suggestion effect.
In addition, the slot machine 1 according to this embodiment has the same effects as the slot machines 1 according to the first and second embodiments.

In the above-described Embodiments 1 to 3, the selection rate of the notification effect to be executed in the 10th game changes depending on whether or not the rare role is won in the ART lottery game (1st game), but it is not limited to this, For example, the selection rate of the notification effect to be executed in the 10th game may vary depending on whether or not a minor combination including a rare combination is won in the ART lottery game. Further, in Embodiments 1 to 3 above, the selection rate between the first development pattern and the second development pattern changes depending on whether or not the rare role is won in the 9th game, but is not limited to this. The selection rate between the first development pattern and the second development pattern may change depending on whether or not a small combination including a rare combination is won in the game. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the selection rate of the effects (chance effect, intense heat effect, advanced effect) after the third stop changes depending on whether or not a rare role is won. The selection rate of the effect after the third stop may change depending on whether or not a minor winning combination including .

In this case, as in Modification 3 explained with reference to FIGS. 40 and 41, the sub-control unit 91 selects the notification effect to be executed in the tenth game using, for example, the notification effect selection table shown in FIG. Select the type, select the effect pattern for the ninth game using the effect pattern selection table for the ninth game shown in FIG. You may choose the production after a stop.

Here, as shown in FIG. 40(A), in the notification effect selection table of modification example 3, in the case of shifting to the sign period, if the ART win is lost, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 0. %, the selection rate of the battle effect is set to 100%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is preset to 0%. The selection rate of the battle performance is preset to 95%, and the selection rate of the winning notification performance is preset to 5%. In addition, in the notification effect selection table, when shifting to the sign period, when ART is not won, if the result is a loss, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 100%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%, and the winning notification effect is selected. is set to 0% in advance, while when a minor role other than a rare role is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 95%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 5%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is selected. The percentage is preset to 0%.

On the other hand, in the notification effect selection table, when the transition to the sign period is not made, when the ART is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 100%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is 0%. While the selection rate is set to 0% in advance, when a minor role other than a rare role is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 80%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is 80%. is preset to 20%. In addition, in the notification effect selection table, when the transition to the sign period is not made, when the ART is not won, if there is a loss, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 100%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 0%, and the winning notification effect is selected. is set to 0% in advance, while when a small role other than a rare role is won, the selection rate of the castle search effect is 97%, the selection rate of the battle effect is 3%, and the selection rate of the winning notification effect is selected. The percentage is preset to 0%.

Further, in the effect pattern selection table for the ninth game of Modified Example 3, as shown in FIG. While the selection rate of the second development pattern is set in advance to 20%, if the internal lottery result in the ninth game wins a small combination other than a rare combination, the selection rate of the first development pattern is 40%, and the selection rate of the second development pattern is 40%. The selection rate of development patterns is preset to 60%.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 41, the effect selection table after the third stop in modification example 3 is such that when ART is won, if the effect execution game is in the normal period, if the internal lottery result is a loss, there is no effect. is preset to 100%, the selection rate of the chance performance is 0%, and the selection rate of the intense heat performance is preset to 0%. is preset to 90%, the chance performance selection rate is 8%, and the intense heat performance selection rate is preset to 2%. Note that the effect selection table after the third stop is the third stop of the third embodiment shown in FIG. A selection rate similar to that of the subsequent effect selection table is set in advance. On the other hand, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is won, if the execution game of the effect is the ninth game that is the precursor period or the second development pattern, and if the internal lottery result is a loss, there is no effect. While the selection rate is set to 10%, the selection rate of the chance performance is 90%, and the selection rate of the intense heat performance is preset to 0%, if the internal lottery result is a small role winning other than a rare role, no production is performed. The selection rate is preset to 0%, the selection rate of chance presentation is 40%, and the selection rate of intense heat presentation is preset to 60%. Note that the effect selection table after the third stop is such that when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the effect is the 9th game that is the precursor period or the second development pattern, and if the internal lottery result is a rare role win, A selection rate similar to the effect selection table after the third stop of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 35 is set in advance.

In addition, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is not won, if the effect execution game is in the normal period, if the internal lottery result is lost, the selection rate of no effect is 100%, and the chance effect is selected. While the selection rate is set to 0% and the selection rate of intense heat production is preset to 0%, if the internal lottery result is a small role winning other than a rare role, the selection rate of no production is 97%, and the selection rate of chance production is 97%. The selection rate is set to 2%, and the selection rate of the intense heat effect is preset to 1%. If the internal lottery result is a rare role, the selection rate of no effect is 94%, and the selection rate of the chance effect is 4%. , the selection rate of intense heat production is preset to 2%. On the other hand, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the effect is the ninth game that is the premonition period or the second development pattern, and if the internal lottery result is a loss, there is no effect. is set to 20%, the selection rate of the chance performance is 80%, and the selection rate of the intense heat performance is preset to 0%. In addition, in the effect selection table after the third stop, when the ART is not won, if the execution game of the effect is the 9th game that is the premonition period or the second development pattern, the internal lottery result is a minor role other than a rare role. Alternatively, if a rare combination is won, a selection rate similar to the effect selection table after the third stop of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 35 is set in advance.

The selection rate between the first development pattern and the second development pattern changes depending on whether or not a small combination including a rare combination is won in the ninth game, so that the player can receive a rare combination win suggestion effect. Since the performance is likely to be executed according to the second development pattern not only when the performance is executed, but also when the performance suggesting winning a minor role other than the rare role is executed, the performance is developed after the third stop when the performance suggesting winning a minor role is executed. Even if the performance is not executed, the player expects that the door closing performance will be executed after the chance performance or the intense heat performance, and that the performance will develop into a continuous performance.
In addition, the selection rate of the effect after the third stop changes depending on whether or not not only the rare role but also the minor role other than the rare role is won. In addition, since the performance after the third stop is likely to be executed even when the performance suggesting winning a minor role other than the rare role is executed, the performance is executed after the third stop if the performance suggesting winning a minor role is executed. I came to expect that it would develop into a continuous performance.

In Embodiments 1 to 3 above, the winning combination is directly suggested by displaying the symbol image of the winning combination as the minor winning combination indication effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a production, if you win a bell, you will have a yellow navigation, if you win a replay, you will have a blue navigation, if you win a cherry, you will have a red navigation, and if you win a watermelon, you will have a green navigation, etc., so as to indirectly suggest the winning role. good too.

As in Embodiments 1 to 3 above, in order to make it easier to have a sense of anticipation for developing into a continuous effect, it is preferable to make it possible to shift to a precursory period in which suggestive effects can be easily executed. It does not have to be provided. That is, it is not necessary to shift to the sign period even before the effect is executed according to the first development pattern in the ninth game. In this case, when the effect is executed according to the first development pattern in the ninth game, it may become difficult for the player to guess the degree of expectation that the ART winning will be notified in the continuous effect. The number of types of development effects (“development” result display, “development” statement effect, development effect) that suggests to do may be increased.

In the first to third embodiments, it is determined whether or not to execute the notification effect in the tenth game of the ART lottery game (first game), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second game to the tenth game. You may decide to play any of the games. Also, for example, it may be determined in each game from the 1st game to the 10th game, and in the game after deciding to execute the notification effect in the 10th game, the notification effect execution flag is turned on. It may not be determined whether or not to execute the notification effect in the tenth game.
Further, in the above-described first to third embodiments, the type of notification effect to be executed in the 10th game in the ART lottery game (first game) is determined. Either game may be decided. For example, the type of notification effect to be executed in the ninth game or tenth game may be determined based on the effect pattern selected when the effect pattern is selected in the ninth game.

In Embodiments 1 to 3 above, it is selected whether or not to transition to the sign period from the 5th game in the ART lottery game (1st game). You may choose to play any game up to the eye. Further, for example, the selection may be made in each game from the first game to the fifth game, and in the game after the selection to shift to the precursor period is made, the transition to the precursor period is turned on by turning on the transition flag for the precursor period. You may make it so that it may not be selected whether to carry out.
In the above-described Embodiments 1 to 3, when the continuous effect is executed in the tenth game, either the first development pattern or the second development pattern is selected in the ninth game, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, any game from the first game to the ninth game may be determined. Also, for example, it may be determined in each game from the first game to the ninth game, and in the game after selecting the effect pattern to be executed in the ninth game, the first development flag or the second development flag is turned on. Alternatively, the effect pattern may not be selected by, for example, doing so.

It should be noted that these above-mentioned flags (notification effect execution flag, sign period transition flag, first development flag, second development flag) are overwritten based on the internal lottery results and ART lottery results after the second game. Also, for example, when ART is not won, when ART is won from the ART lottery game (1st game) to the 10th game, after resetting all flags from on to off, notification effect execution The flag may be turned on to re-determine the type of notification effect, to re-select whether or not to shift to the sign period, or to re-select the effect pattern to be executed in the ninth game. Also, at this time, by turning off only the first development flag and the second development flag without resetting all the flags, the production pattern after the ninth game is changed to the first development pattern and the second development pattern. It may be possible to reselect to any one of the winning notification pattern and the effect pattern.

In the above embodiments 1 to 3, ART winning was exemplified as an example of the privilege, but it is not limited to this, for example, other advantageous conditions such as bonuses, chance zones (CZ), and special zones for adding ART It may be a decision to control or a decision to execute a premium effect.
In Embodiments 1 to 3, the effects (suggestion effect, notification effect, development effect, predetermined effect, switching effect) described above are effects in which an image is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. However, the effect is limited to this. For example, a flash effect in which the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, etc. emit light, a lighting effect in which the effect LED 52, etc. lights and blinks, a sound effect in which sounds are output from the speakers 53 and 54, etc. , a character effect in which a newly added character moves, a freeze effect based on the freeze motion of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, or the like, or a combination of a plurality of these effects may be used.

In the first to third embodiments described above, the present invention is applied to a slot machine in which the number of bets is set using medals and credits as game values. It may be applied to a slot machine in which a number is set, or a full credit type slot machine in which a bet amount is set using only credits as a game value.
Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to using only one of multiple types of game values such as medals and game balls. For example, multiple types of game values such as medals and game balls can be used together. can be That is, it is possible to play a game by setting the number of bets using any of a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls, and when a winning occurs, a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls can be played. A slot machine that can pay out any utility value may be applied.

Further, in the above-described first to third embodiments, the slot machine was explained as an example of the gaming machine, but the configuration disclosed in the above-described embodiment, particularly the configuration for executing the performance according to the performance pattern shown in the timing charts of FIGS. 5 to 7 etc. A game is played by shooting a game ball into another gaming machine, for example, a game area, and the shot game ball enters a winning opening provided in the game area to generate a prize. It may be applied to a pachinko game machine or the like in which game balls are paid out as balls. When applied to a pachinko game machine, for example, by temporarily stopping the decorative symbols during the variable display of the decorative symbols and then restarting the variable display, one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A configuration may be applied in which an effect is executed in accordance with the effect patterns shown in the timing charts of FIGS. In this case, it is necessary to execute another notification effect that does not develop into a notification effect instead of the minor win winning suggestion effect.

Specifically, it is determined whether or not to execute continuous production when the 10th special fluctuation is performed before the first special fluctuation starts, and when the continuous production is executed, the fifth special fluctuation Select whether or not to shift from to the precursor period, select the type of continuous production, and select the first development pattern or the second development pattern when the ninth special figure fluctuation is performed when shifting to the precursor period. However, it may be executed while selecting the performance (roulette performance, other notification performance, door closing performance, battle performance, castle search performance, winning notification performance) to be executed when special figure fluctuation is performed each time. In addition, in order to ensure the execution time of the production in each special figure fluctuation, when executing the production according to such a production pattern, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of time-saving fluctuations that shorten the fluctuation time, and to shorten the execution time of the production. It is preferable to set based on the fluctuation time of the fluctuation.

(14) Also, in the present application,
The switching effect can be executed at a first timing after starting execution of the suggestive effect (for example, at the time of the third stop) or at a second timing different from the first timing (for example, at the time of MAX BET of the next game). A gaming machine is also disclosed.

According to such a configuration, the player pays attention to whether the switching performance is executed at the first timing or the second timing, and the switching performance is executed at the first timing or the second timing. The amusement of the game is further improved as compared with the disabled game machine.

(15) Also, in this application,
The suggestive effect is a selection effect (for example, a roulette effect) for selecting any suggestive information from among a plurality of types of suggestive information (for example, a winning image),
The rate at which the switching effect is executed differs depending on the content of the suggestive information selected as the effect result of the suggestive effect (for example, the sub-control unit 91 selects the outcome of the roulette effect using the outcome selection table), A gaming machine is also disclosed.

According to such a configuration, the player will pay attention to the suggestion information as the option, and the ratio of execution of the switching performance does not change depending on the contents of the suggestion information selected as the performance result of the selection performance. Also, the interest in the game is further improved.
