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

[Slot machine configuration]
FIG. 1(a) is a front view of a slot machine 1 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 1(b) is a diagram showing an example of the main internal configuration of the slot machine 1. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1(a), the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 for displaying an image, a frame lamp 61, and a frame lamp 62 (a frame lamp 62a and a frame lamp 62b).

A see-through window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51 . A player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C and 2R arranged side by side inside the slot machine 1 through the see-through window 3 . On each of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R, symbols, each of which is a plurality of types of identifiable identification information, are arranged in a predetermined order. Below the see-through window 3, a MAXBET switch 6, which is operated when setting a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state within the range of the game value (credits) stored, and a game ( A start switch 7 operated when starting a game), stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R operated to stop the rotation of each reel and derive the display result, and a production switch used for production. 56 is provided. A reel LED 55 for illuminating the reels 2L, 2C and 2R from the back is provided on the back of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R. The reel LED 55 is for the reels 2L, 2C, 2R.
It consists of 12 LEDs corresponding to three consecutive patterns, and each pattern can be irradiated independently.

As shown in FIG. 1, the frame lamp 61 is arranged close to the frame lamp 62 . The frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 are positioned right beside each other, and are arranged so close to each other that they can be seen by the player at the same time. Therefore, when the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 execute different effects at the same time, the positional relationship is such that the player is confused. Also, the reel 2L,
A reel LED 55 that illuminates 2C and 2R from behind is arranged at a position farther from the frame lamp 61 than the frame lamp 62. - 特許庁Specifically, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R (reel LED 5
5) is arranged below the frame lamp 61 with the liquid crystal display 51 interposed therebetween. reel 2
L, 2C, and 2R (reel LEDs 55) are arranged at positions separated from each other so that when the player visually recognizes the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62, it is difficult to see them at the same time.

As shown in FIG. 1B, inside the slot machine 1, there is provided a main control section 41 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 controls the MAXBET
Operations on the switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are detected, and the progress of the game is controlled according to the detected operations.

Inside the slot machine 1 , a sub-control section 91 is provided for controlling effects according to commands from the main control section 41 . The sub-control unit 91 includes a sub-CPU 91a that performs various controls related to effects, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to effects. Based on the command from the main control unit 41 and the operation of the effect switch 56, the sub-control unit 91
Display of images on the liquid crystal display 51, frame lamps 61, frame lamps 62 and reel LEDs
55 lighting mode is controlled. Image display on the liquid crystal display 51, frame lamps 61 and frame lamps 62
And effect data used for lighting output of the reel LED 55 is stored in the RAM 91c.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into a medal inserting portion (not shown) or operates the MAXBET switch 6 to set a prescribed number of bets. As a result, the winning line becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes valid, so that the game can be started. The winning lines are the reels 2L and 2 displayed in the see-through window.
This line is for judging whether or not the combination of symbols in C and 2R matches the winning symbol combination.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the main control unit 41
Decide which display results are allowed to be derived. Further, when the start switch 7 is operated, the main control section 41 rotates the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R to variably display the symbols. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the main control section 41 stops rotation of the corresponding reels. By stopping the rotation of the reel, three symbols are derived and displayed as a display result in the upper, middle and lower stages of the see-through window. The main control unit 41 rotates the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R based on the display result allowed to be derived, the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the order of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. perform reel control to stop the

When the combination of winning symbols on the winning line stops and a winning occurs, the main control unit 41
executes a process according to the winning. The process according to the winning includes, for example, the process of giving a privilege. Here, in the slot machine 1, it is necessary to set a prescribed number of bets in order to execute one game. The privilege includes the provision of game value, the right to play the game without consuming the game value (replay), and the like.

Among the winning combinations, the special combination includes two types of bonuses, a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) and a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB). A bonus is won when a predetermined bonus symbol combination (for example, "7-7-7") is aligned on the winning line. BB
If you win, you will move to a big bonus. The big bonus ends when a predetermined end condition (for example, 316 or more medals are paid out) is satisfied. Also, R
If you win B, you will be transferred to a regular bonus. The regular bonus ends when a predetermined end condition (for example, winning 6 times in any combination or completing 12 games) is established.

The main control unit 41 can control any one of a plurality of RT states in which a replay is won with a predetermined winning probability. The RT state includes an advantageous RT and a disadvantageous RT. The probability of winning a replay is set to be higher when controlled to an advantageous RT than when controlled to a disadvantageous RT. Between RTs, transition is made when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Predetermined conditions include winning a predetermined combination (derivation of RT shift symbol combination) and derivation of a specific drop when a bell winning is missed.

[Game control processing]
In the present embodiment, the game starts when the start switch 7 is operated while the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all the reels are stopped. Specifically, the main control unit 41 performs game control processing to control one game.
In the game control process, various processes related to progress of the game are executed.

In the game control process, first, a BET process is performed. In the BET process, a monitoring process for monitoring detection states such as medal insertion into the medal insertion section, operation of the MAXBET switch 6, and operation of the start switch 7 is executed. Then, the number of bets is set based on the detection result of the monitoring process. After setting the number of bets, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected.

Next, an internal lottery process is performed to determine (internal lottery) whether or not to allow the occurrence of a prize. When the internal lottery process ends, the reel rotation process is performed. In the reel rotation process, the reels 2L, 2C,
After starting the rotation of 2R, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are activated, and the rotation of the reels is stopped according to the stop operation. The game ends when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R stop and the reel rotation process ends. Then, a winning determination process is performed to determine whether or not a winning has occurred based on the combination of symbols on the winning line. After the winning determination process is completed, the payout process is performed. In the payout process, payout of medals or addition of credits is performed according to the occurrence of winning. In the game end processing, processing for setting the game state in preparation for the next game is executed. As a result, the game control processing for one game ends, and the game control processing for the next one game starts.

[Interruption of processing related to game progress]
In the game control process described above, when the interruption condition is established, the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted. The interruption condition is met regardless of the player's intentions and intentions. For example, what is established regardless of the player's intentions and intentions is, for example, what is established regardless of whether the player has operated the operating means. Here, the operating means are, for example, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the production switch 56, and the MAXBET switch 6.

Interruption conditions are, for example, the occurrence of power failure or the occurrence of an error. When an error occurs, the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted and controlled to an error state. After that, when the error state is canceled, the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed. For example, it is assumed that the sub-control unit 91 has executed a prize effect, which will be described later, due to the occurrence of a prize. At this time, in the game control process, the main control unit 41 was executing a monitoring process (one of the processes related to the progress of the game) for monitoring the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 in order to start the next game. do. At this time, if an error occurs, the monitoring process is interrupted and controlled to an error state. After that, when the error state is cleared, the monitoring process is resumed.

Errors include, for example, an insertion error relating to the insertion of medals from the medal insertion section, a payout error relating to the payout of medals from the hopper, and an error in the RAM stored in the main control section 41.
There is a RAM abnormality error that is detected when an abnormality occurs in the data of 41c.

Also, when power failure occurs, the game control process ends and the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted. After that, when the power is restored from the power failure, the game control process is started, and the process relating to the progress of the game is resumed.

Power failure refers to a state in which power is not supplied to the slot machine 1 . for example,
A power failure occurs when power is not supplied to the slot machine 1 due to some trouble such as a failure. In addition to this, there is a power interruption (instantaneous interruption) that occurs due to a power failure or the like. These are power outages that can occur regardless of whether a game is in progress, and are power outages that are not intended by the store clerk or the like. Power outages also include power outages that occur when a game arcade clerk or the like turns off the power after the amusement arcade closes.

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

(Battle production)
The sub-control unit 91 executes a suggestive effect that suggests whether or not it will be advantageous for the player.
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a battle effect suggesting bonus winning as the suggestive effect. The sub-controller 91 controls the liquid crystal display 51, the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62.
is used to execute the battle production. For example, a battle effect is executed over a plurality of games, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays an effect image in which a friend character and an enemy character fight.

Then, as a result of the battle effect, a result notification effect for notifying whether or not the bonus is won is executed. When the ally character finally wins over the enemy character, the character image "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a result notification effect, and the player is notified that the bonus has been won. On the other hand, when the ally character is finally defeated by the enemy character, the character image "LOSE" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a result notification effect, and the player is notified that the bonus has not been won.

In addition, the sub-control section 91 executes a result notification effect by changing the lighting mode of the frame lamp 61 . The sub control unit 91 changes the frame lamp 61 from off to rainbow lighting at the timing when the character image "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 after winning the battle effect. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the frame lamp 61 at the timing when the character image “LOSE” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 after losing the battle effect. Note that even during the battle production, the frame lamp 61 is in a lighting state or a blinking state (for example, white lighting or white blinking).
may be

Further, the sub-control unit 91 also changes the light emission mode of the frame lamp 62 to execute the result notification effect of notifying the result of the battle effect. The sub control unit 91 changes the frame lamp 62 from off to rainbow lighting at the timing when the character image "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 after winning the battle effect. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the frame lamp 62 at the timing when the character image “LOSE” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 after losing the battle effect.

As described above, in the result notification effect, when the battle effect is won, the sub control unit 9
1 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display the character image "WIN" and changes the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 from off to rainbow lighting. On the other hand, if the player loses the battle effect, the sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display the character image "LOSE",
The frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 are turned off. The result notification effect continues until the specified number of bets is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6 (hereinafter also referred to as "BET operation").

(Prize-winning performance)
When a prize is won, the sub-control unit 91 executes a prize effect for notifying that the prize has been won. The sub-control unit 91 uses the frame lamps 62, the reel LEDs 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 to execute a winning effect.

For example, wins include cherry wins, bell wins, replay wins, and watermelon wins. The sub-control unit 91 executes the winning effects in different modes depending on the type of winning. For example, when Cherry, which is a specific combination, wins a prize, the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 are used to perform a prize-winning effect. A winning effect using the display device 51 is not executed, and a winning effect using the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 is executed.

The specific combination is, for example, a combination that can be won simultaneously with a bonus. The prescribed combination is a combination different from the specific combination. When Cherry wins, it may win at the same time as a bonus. For this reason, the player expects that when the cherry is won, the bonus will also be won at the same time. For this reason, the sub-controller 91 displays a character image "chance" suggesting that there is a possibility of a bonus winning on the liquid crystal display 51 when a cherry winning occurs. In this way, after winning a special role of Cherry, there is a possibility that the subsequent game will be in a bonus winning state. I can say

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 executes a prize-winning effect that notifies the occurrence of a prize by causing the frame lamp 62 to emit light. The sub-control unit 91 executes a winning effect by causing the frame lamp 62 to emit light in different light-emitting modes depending on the type of winning. For example, the sub-control unit 91 lights the frame lamp 62 in yellow when a bell win occurs, and lights the frame lamp 62 in red when a cherry win occurs. It should be noted that the frame lamp 62 may emit light in the same light-emitting manner regardless of the type of winning to execute the winning effect. For example, the frame lamp 62 may be illuminated or blinked in white regardless of whether a bell win or a cherry win occurs.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 executes a prize-winning effect for reporting the occurrence of a prize by blinking the reel LEDs 55 . For example, when the bell pattern is aligned on the winning line and the bell is won, the sub-control part 91 flashes the reel LED 55 positioned behind the pattern in order to make the bell pattern aligned on the winning line stand out.

In the prize-winning effect using the frame lamp 62, when a predetermined combination (bell, etc.) wins, the prize-winning effect ends in a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). The winning performance is continued until the operation is performed. In addition, in the winning effect using the reel LEDs 55, the winning effect continues until the BET operation is performed regardless of the type of winning. Incidentally, even when the specific winning combination wins, the prize-winning effect may be ended in a predetermined time. Also, the winning effect using the reel LEDs 55 may be ended in a predetermined time.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the above-described battle effect is being executed, the winning effect may be executed at the same time. The prize-winning performance of a predetermined role such as a bell is completed in two seconds, and after the prize-winning performance is completed, a result notification performance (for example, the frame lamp 61 is changed from extinguishing to rainbow lighting) for informing the result of the battle performance is executed. However, even after the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting in order to notify the result of the battle effect, the winning effect of blinking the reel LEDs 55 continues.

[Execution example of various effects]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, an effect execution example (hereinafter referred to as a "comparative example") in which the player is confused by the winning effect overlapping with other effects will be described. ,
Execution examples of various effects in the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG.

(Comparative example)
First, a comparative example will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a comparative example in a scene where a winning effect is executed while a battle effect is being executed.

In this example, a scene will be described in which a bell win occurs and a result notification effect is executed in the final game of the battle effect suggesting the winning of a bonus. Fig. 2(a1), (
A2), (a31), and (a41) describe a scene in which a result notification effect is executed in which a teammate character wins the battle in the battle effect. Figure 2 (a1), (a2
), (a32), and (a42) describe a scene in which a result notification effect is executed in which a teammate character is defeated in a battle in a battle effect.

In this example, it is assumed that a battle effect is being executed over a plurality of games in the wake of a cherry win. Then, it is assumed that the final game of the battle presentation is started by operating the start switch 7 . At this time, it is also assumed that Bell wins the lottery by internal lottery. As shown in FIG. 2(a1), bell patterns are drawn to the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C.

Also, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a battle effect image in which a friendly character (character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (character on the right side of the screen) battle. At this time, the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 are turned off, and the reel LED 55 is turned on.

As shown in FIG. 2(a2), the right third stop operation (the operation to stop the right reel 2R thirdly) causes a bell pattern to be drawn on the right reel 2R, and a bell win occurs (in the present embodiment, The symbol combination "Bell-Bell-Bell" is aligned on the winning line). When the bell winning occurs, the sub-control unit 91 executes a winning effect of lighting the frame lamp 62 in yellow, and blinks the reel LED 55 located behind the winning line. At this time, the frame lamp 61 is turned off. A battle effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

When the bonus is won, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the ally character defeats the enemy character and wins, as shown in FIG. 2(a31).

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2(a41), the result notification effect in the battle effect is executed. The background color of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes rainbow color, and the character image "WIN" is displayed in the center of the screen. Along with this, the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting. As a result, the fact that the bonus is won is definitely notified. At this time, the frame lamp 62 remains illuminated in yellow, and the prize-winning presentation of the bell prize-winning continues. In addition, the reel LED 55 also continues the winning effect.

As described above, in the comparative example, when notifying that the teammate character has won the battle effect, the frame lamp 62 continues the winning effect and remains lit in yellow. 61 executes a result notification effect and lights up in a rainbow. in this way,
In the comparative example, when the prize-winning effect by the frame lamp 62 is executed, the effect by the frame lamp 61 is executed at the same time. In addition, the effect of the rainbow lighting and the effect of the yellow lighting are mixed, which impairs the performance of the battle effect. In particular, since the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 are installed close to each other and similarly perform effects by emitting light, it would be very confusing if such effects were mixed. Also, as in this example, when the background color of the liquid crystal display device 51 adjacent to the frame lamp 61 is the same rainbow color as the frame lamp 61, the player will not be able to see the frame lamp 62 that is lit yellow. I feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, if the bonus is not won, the state shown in FIG. 2(a2) is changed to the state shown in FIG. 2(a32). As shown in FIG. 2(a32), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the ally character being defeated by the enemy character.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2(a42), the result notification effect in the battle effect is executed. The background color of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes black, and the character image "LOS" appears in the center of the screen.
E" is displayed. Along with this, the frame lamp 61 is turned off. As a result, it is definitely notified that the bonus has not been won. At this time, the frame lamp 62 remains illuminated in yellow, and the prize-winning presentation of the bell prize-winning continues. In addition, the reel LED 55 also continues the winning effect.

As described above, in the comparative example, when notifying that the teammate character has been defeated as a result of the battle effect, the frame lamp 62 continues the winning effect and remains lit in yellow. 61 executes the result notification effect and turns off the light. As described above, in the comparative example, the frame lamp 62 adjacent to the frame lamp 61 lights up in yellow even though the frame lamp 61 is in the off state to notify the defeat of the battle. , the player is made to feel as if he/she has won, and the result of the battle presentation becomes difficult to understand. In addition, the effect of the yellow lighting is executed, and the performance of the battle effect is impaired. Also, as in this example, when the background color of the liquid crystal display 51 close to the frame lamp 61 is black, the player feels uncomfortable that only the frame lamp 62 is lit. .

(Example of effect execution when winning effect is executed while battle effect is being executed)
Next, an execution example of effects in this embodiment will be described while comparing with the comparative example described above. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an effect when a winning effect is executed during execution of a battle effect in this embodiment. In the present embodiment, as in the comparative example, in the final game of the battle effect suggesting the winning of a bonus, a bell winning occurs and the result notification effect is executed. FIGS. 3(a1), (a2), (a31), and (a41) describe a scene in which a result notification effect is executed in which the teammate character wins the battle in the battle effect. FIGS. 3(a1), (a2), (a32), and (a42) explain a scene in which a result notification effect is executed in which a teammate character is defeated in a battle in a battle effect.

In this example, it is assumed that a battle effect is being executed over a plurality of games in the wake of a cherry win. Then, it is assumed that the final game of the battle presentation is started by operating the start switch 7 . At this time, it is also assumed that Bell wins the lottery by internal lottery. As shown in FIG. 3(a1), bell symbols are drawn to the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C. In addition, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a battle effect image in which a friendly character and an enemy character fight.

As shown in FIG. 3(a2), a bell pattern is drawn to the right reel 2R by the right third stop operation, and a bell win is generated. Upon occurrence of the bell winning, the sub-control unit 91 executes a winning effect of lighting the frame lamp 62 in yellow. Here, the sub-control unit 91 executes the winning effect by causing the frame lamp 62 to emit light in different light-emitting modes depending on the type of winning. For example, the sub-control unit 91 lights the frame lamp 62 in red when a cherry win occurs, lights the frame lamp 62 in yellow when a bell win occurs, and lights the frame lamp 62 in blue when a replay win occurs. When a watermelon prize is won, a frame lamp 62 is lit in green.

Also, the sub-control section 91 blinks the reel LEDs 55 located behind the winning lines. At this time, the frame lamp 61 is turned off. A battle effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

Unlike the comparative example, the frame lamp 62 ends the winning effect in a predetermined time (2 seconds). The end timing of the winning effect is before the start of the result notification effect, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3(41) and 3(42). Note that the winning effect may be terminated at the start timing of the result notification effect.

When the bonus is won, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the ally character defeats the enemy character and wins, as shown in FIG. 3(a31). The frame lamp 62 has been extinguished after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3(a41), a result notification effect in the battle effect is executed. The background color of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes rainbow color, and the character image "WIN" is displayed in the center of the screen. Along with this, the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting. As a result, the fact that the bonus is won is definitely notified.

Also, at this time, unlike the comparative example, the frame lamp 62 also executes the result notification effect. The frame lamp 62 changes from off to rainbow lighting. The reel LED 55 continues the prize-winning effect even after the frame lamp 61 is changed from off to rainbow lighting.

As described above, in the comparative example, in the state where the frame lamp 61 was lit in rainbow while the frame lamp 61 was performing the result notification effect, the frame lamp 62 was lit in yellow while the winning effect was continued. It was confusing because the production and the award-winning production were mixed. However, in this embodiment, before the frame lamp 61 changes from extinguished to rainbow lighting in order to notify the result of the battle effect, the frame lamp 62 is extinguished and the winning effect is finished. By doing so, the winning performance by the frame lamp 62 and the result notification of the battle performance by the frame lamp 61 are not mixed, and the performance contents of the frame lamps 62 and 61 arranged in the vicinity are not confused. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, not only the frame lamp 62 but also the frame lamp 61 are lit in the rainbow, so that a unified effect is executed and the effect of the battle effect is further enhanced.

On the other hand, if the bonus is not won, the state shown in FIG. 3(a2) is changed to the state shown in FIG. 3(a32). As shown in FIG. 3(a32), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the ally character being defeated by the enemy character. The frame lamp 62 has been extinguished after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2(a32), the result notification effect in the battle effect is executed. The background color of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes black, and the character image "LOS" appears in the center of the screen.
E" is displayed. Along with this, the frame lamp 61 is turned off. As a result, it is definitely notified that the bonus has not been won. Also, at this time, unlike the comparative example, the frame lamp 62 is in the off state. Also, the reel LED 55 continues the winning effect.

As described above, in the comparative example, the frame lamp 61 executes the result notification effect and is turned off, whereas the frame lamp 62 continues the winning effect and is lit in yellow. The result of the performance was difficult to understand. However, in the present embodiment, the frame lamp 62 is extinguished and the winning effect ends before the result of the battle effect is notified. Since both the frame lamp 61 and the frame lamp 62 are turned off in this way, the presentation contents of the frame lamp 62 and the frame lamp 61 arranged close to each other are not confused.

[Interruption of winning performance]
Next, a description will be given of a case where the interruption condition is met during execution of the winning effect. When the above-described interruption condition is met, the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted. After that, when returning from the suspended state,
Processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed.

When the interruption condition is established during the execution of the prize winning effect and the interrupted state is canceled after that, the winning effect may or may not be executed.

Whether or not the prize winning effect is executed when the interruption condition is met during execution of the prize winning effect and the interrupted state is canceled after that depends on the type of the generated prize winning effect. For example, during execution of a winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 for informing of the occurrence of a predetermined prize (for example, a bell prize), power failure occurs, interrupting processing related to the progress of the game, and then recovering from the power failure. When the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed by pressing, the winning effect is not executed. On the other hand, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 for notifying the occurrence of a specific winning (for example, a cherry winning), the process related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the power failure. After that, when the power is restored from the power failure and the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed, the winning performance is executed.

Further, whether or not the winning effect is executed when the interruption condition is established during the execution of the winning effect and the interrupted state is canceled after that depends on the interruption condition. For example, during the execution of a winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 for informing of the occurrence of the bell winning, a power failure occurs and the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted. When the game is restarted, the prize-winning effect is not executed. On the other hand, the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning and the reel LED 55, and then the error is canceled and the processing relating to the progress of the game is performed. When is restarted, the prize-winning effect is executed.

Further, whether or not the winning effect is executed during the suspension depends on the suspension conditions. for example,
While the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of power failure, the prize winning effect is not executed. On the other hand, while the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, the winning effect is executed.

(Example of performance execution when power failure occurs during winning performance)
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an effect when power failure occurs during execution of a winning effect in this embodiment. FIGS. 4(a1) to (a4) explain a scene in which a power failure occurs during execution of a winning effect by winning a bell. FIGS. 4(b1) to 4(b4) explain a scene in which a power failure occurs during execution of a winning effect due to a cherry winning.

First, a case where a bell prize is won will be described. As shown in FIG. 4(a1), when a bell win occurs, a prize effect is executed. At this time, as in the case of FIG. 3(a2), the sub-control section 91 executes a winning effect of lighting the frame lamp 62 in yellow and blinking the reel LED 55. FIG. Note that when a bell win occurs, the win effect using the liquid crystal display 51 is not executed.

As shown in FIG. 4(a2), when power failure occurs during the winning effect, the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted and the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped. As a result, the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 are turned off, and the prize effect is not executed.

As shown in FIG. 4(a3), when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, it recovers from the power failure and restarts the processing related to the progress of the game. A power outage occurred during the prize-winning performance by winning a bell,
When the power is recovered from the power failure, the prize-winning effect is not executed. That is, the frame lamp 62 is turned off, and the reel LED 55 is turned on. As shown in FIG. 4(a4), even if a BET operation is performed to start the next game, the states of the frame lamp 62 and the reel LEDs 55 do not change.

Next, a case where a cherry prize is won will be described. In this example, it is assumed that the bonus is won at the same time as the cherry win. As shown in FIG. 4(b1), when a cherry win occurs (in this embodiment, the symbol combination "cherry-replay-replay" is aligned on the winning line),
A winning performance is executed.

At this time, the sub-control section 91 lights the frame lamp 62 in red and also turns on the reel LED.
A prize-winning effect of blinking 55 is executed. Further, the sub-controller 91 executes a prize-winning effect of displaying a character image “chance” suggesting bonus winning on the liquid crystal display 51 . that time,
The character image chance is displayed by scrolling from the left end of the screen and stopping at the center of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 4(b2), when power failure occurs during the winning effect, the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted and the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped. As a result, the liquid crystal display 51, the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 are turned off, and the winning effect is not executed.

As shown in FIG. 4(b3), when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, it recovers from the power failure and restarts the processing related to the progress of the game. When a power failure occurs during execution of a winning performance by winning a cherry prize and the power is recovered from the power failure, the winning performance is executed. The sub-control unit 91 executes the winning effect of lighting the frame lamp 62 again in red and blinking the reel LED 55 . Also, a prize-winning effect is executed to display a character image "chance" suggesting bonus winning on the liquid crystal display 51. - 特許庁

In the case of executing the prize-winning presentation after recovery from power failure, the prize-winning presentation is executed from the beginning. For example, the sub-control unit 91 executes a winning effect in which the character image "Chance" is moved from the left end of the screen to the center of the screen and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, but after the power is restored, the character image "Chance" is displayed again. The prize-winning effect is started from the point where "chance" is moved from the left end of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 4(b4), when the BET operation is performed, the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 5
The prize-winning effect by 5 ends. In addition, if a predetermined winning such as a bell winning occurs, the BET
Even if no operation is performed, the prize-winning presentation ends in two seconds.

As described above, when a cherry win occurs, frame lamp 62 and reel LE
Both the winning effect using D55 and the winning effect using the liquid crystal display 51 are executed. On the other hand, when a bell winning occurs, only the winning effect using the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 is executed.

In addition, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning and the reel LEDs 55, the process related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of power failure, and then the process related to the progress of the game is resumed from the power failure. When the game is restarted, the prize-winning effect is not executed. On the contrary,
During the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 for informing of the occurrence of the cherry winning, the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of power interruption, and then the game progresses after recovering from the power interruption. When the processing relating to is resumed, the winning effect is executed.

[Readiness]
In the present embodiment, the sub-controller 91 executes a start-up process (sub) when the slot machine 1 is powered on. The activation process (sub) is a process in which the sub control unit 91 executes initialization processing and the like.

The initialization process includes the liquid crystal display 51, the frame lamp 61, the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55.
Includes initialization processing for controlling While the initialization process is being performed, the sub-controller 91 cannot cause the liquid crystal display 51 to display an image. In addition, frame lamp 61, frame lamp 6
2 and the reel LED 55 cannot be illuminated for the effect.

When these initialization processes are completed, images can be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 . However, when the sub-controller 91 is preparing for image display control, the liquid crystal display 51
displays an image during preparation (for example, an image as shown in FIG. 5(a3)) and cannot perform display for presentation. Preparation for image display control is, for example, processing for transferring image data from a pre-stored storage area to a working storage area. In addition, when the frame lamps 61, the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 also require data transfer for lighting control, effects cannot be executed during the data transfer.

In this embodiment, the sub-controller 91 controls the liquid crystal display 51 and the frame lamp 6 as described above.
1. In each of the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55, a state in which effects cannot be executed is referred to as a "preparation state".

(Example of effect execution when winning occurs in preparation state)
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an effect when winning occurs in the preparation state in this embodiment. FIGS. 5(a1) to 5(a4) illustrate scenes in which a bell prize is won in the preparatory state. FIGS. 5(b1) to 5(b4) explain a scene in which a cherry prize is won in the preparation state.

First, the case where a bell prize is won will be described. When the bell is won and the left first stop and middle second stop are made, as shown in FIG. 5(a1), bell symbols are drawn to the left reel 2L and middle reel 2C.

If power failure occurs in this state, power supply to the slot machine 1 stops. Figure 5 (a2
), the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 are turned off, and the liquid crystal display 5
1 will not display anything. In addition, the rotating right reel 2R also stops.

When the slot machine 1 is powered on, it recovers from the power failure. At this time, FIG. 4(a3)
As shown in , it is in a ready state, and equipment such as the liquid crystal display 51, the frame lamp 62, and the reel LED 55 cannot execute the effect. In addition, the right reel 2R starts rotating in the same manner as before the power is cut off, and thereafter, acceptance of operation by the stop switch is enabled.

In this state, if the third stop operation is performed, a bell win will occur as shown in FIG. 5(a4). However, since the liquid crystal display 51, the frame lamp 62, and the reel LED 55 are in the ready state, the winning effect is not executed.

Next, a case where a cherry prize is won will be described. When a cherry is won and the left first stop and the middle second stop are performed, as shown in FIG. 5(a1), a cherry symbol is drawn to the left reel 2L and a replay symbol is drawn to the middle reel 2C.

As in the description of FIGS. 5(a2) to 5(a4), a power failure occurs as shown in FIG. 5(b2), and when the power failure returns as shown in FIG. 5(b3), the preparation state is entered. In this state, if the third stop operation is performed, a cherry win will occur as shown in FIG. 5(b4). However, liquid crystal display 5
1. Since the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 are in the ready state, the winning effect is not executed.

As described above, even if winning occurs in the preparation state after the power supply to the slot machine 1 is restored, the winning effect is not executed.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, even if the preparatory state ends, the winning effect is not executed. For example, it is assumed that the winning effect is executed for 2 seconds and the preparation period is 5 seconds. Then, it is assumed that winning occurs after one second has elapsed from the start of the preparation period. If the prize winning effect is executed after the preparation state ends, the prize winning effect will be executed with a delay of 4 seconds from the occurrence of the prize winning, which makes the player feel uncomfortable. Also, at this time, in the situation described with reference to FIG. 3, there is a possibility that the notification effect for notifying the result of the battle effect may be executed in duplicate, which is confusing. Therefore, even if the preparatory state ends, the prize-winning effect is not executed. In addition, if the situation is such that it is not executed in duplicate with other notification effects, the prize winning effect may be executed after the preparation state is finished. Also, after the preparatory period ends, the winning effect may be executed until two seconds have passed since the winning occurred. For example, if a prize is won after 4 seconds have passed since the start of the preparation period, the prize-winning effect may not be executed for 1 second until the end of the preparation period, but the prize-winning effect may be executed for 1 second after the end of the preparation period. .

(Example of performance execution when power failure or error occurs during execution of winning performance)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an effect when power failure and an error occur during execution of a winning effect in this embodiment. FIGS. 6(a1) to 6(a4) explain a scene in which a power failure occurs during execution of a winning effect by winning a bell. FIGS. 6(b1) to 6(b4) explain a scene in which an error occurs during execution of a winning effect by winning a bell.

6(a1) to 6(a4), the case where power failure occurs during execution of the prize winning effect due to the bell winning is the same as in FIGS. 4(a1) to 4(a4). 4 (a1) to (a4), when a bell win occurs, a prize winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 is executed, and a power failure occurs during execution of the winning effect. , the winning effect using the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 is not executed.

The power outage in this case is, for example, a power outage due to the end of business of the amusement arcade. Due to the closing of business,
Power to the slot machine is cut off. Also, in order to start business on the next business day, the power supply to the slot machine is turned on again to recover from the power outage. In this way, when the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power outage due to the end of business, and the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed due to the restoration of the power outage on the next business day, the players are replaced before and after the power failure. likely to be

As shown in FIG. 6(b1), when a bell win occurs, the sub-control unit 91 controls the frame lamp 62
is lit in yellow and the reel LED 55 is blinked.

As shown in FIG. 6(b2), if an error occurs during the winning effect, the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted and the error state is set. At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a character image "ERROR OCCURRENT" to notify that an error has occurred. However, even if it is controlled to the error state, the prize-winning effect continues in the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 .

As shown in FIG. 6(b3), when the error state is released, the processing relating to the progress of the game resumes. Even in this case, the prize-winning effect continues with the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 . When an error occurs unintentionally during a game, the player generally waits until the error is resolved. Therefore, when the process related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of the error, and then the process related to the progress of the game is resumed due to the cancellation of the error, it is unlikely that the players have changed hands. As shown in FIG. 6(b4), when the BET operation is performed, the prize effect is terminated.

As described above, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning, the power failure occurs, and the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted. When the processing relating to progress is restarted, the prize-winning effect is not executed.
On the other hand, the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning and the reel LED 55, and then the error is canceled and the processing relating to the progress of the game is performed. When is restarted, the prize-winning effect is executed. note that,
The prize winning effect is executed when the power failure is restored and the processing related to the progress of the game is restarted, and the winning effect is not executed when the error is canceled and the processing related to the progress of the game is restarted. There may be.

Also, while the processing related to the progress of the game is suspended due to the occurrence of the power failure, the winning effect is not executed, but the winning effect is executed while the processing related to the progress of the game is suspended due to the occurrence of an error. be done.

In addition, if the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the power outage due to the end of business, and the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed due to the restoration of the power outage on the next business day, the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error. However, there is a higher possibility that the players have changed than when the processing related to the progress of the game is restarted by canceling the error.

Also, although not shown, if an error occurs when a cherry prize is won, the following will occur. An error occurs during the execution of a winning effect using the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 for notifying the occurrence of the cherry winning, and the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted, and then the error is canceled and the processing relating to the progress of the game. is resumed, frame lamp 62, reel LE
A winning effect using the D55 and the liquid crystal display 51 is executed. While the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LEDs 55 is executed. No performance is performed.

[Main effects]
Next, main effects obtained by this embodiment will be described.

(1-1) The frame lamp 62 performs a winning effect of lighting up in yellow when the bell wins. In addition, the frame lamp 61 notifies that the battle effect has been won (that the bonus has been won) as a result of the battle effect by changing from off to rainbow lighting. The frame lamp 61 is
It is arranged close to the frame lamp 62 . Also, as shown in FIG. 3, before the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting to notify the result of the battle effect (FIG. 3(a41)), the frame lamp 62 goes off and the winning effect ends. ((a31) in FIG. 3). In this way, when the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting to notify the result of the battle effect, the prize-winning effect by the frame lamp 62 is finished, so the prize-winning effect by the frame lamp 62 and the battle effect are completed. The content of the notification does not become confusing when the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting without being mixed with the result notification. As a result, it is possible to avoid as much as possible confusion of the player due to the winning effect.

(1-2) The reel LEDs 55 that irradiate the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R with light from behind are arranged at positions farther from the frame lamps 61 than the frame lamps 62 are. The reel LED 55 is
A prize-winning effect is executed in which the reel LED 55 blinks when the bell wins. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, even after the frame lamp 61 changes from off to rainbow lighting to notify the result of the battle effect, the winning effect in which the reel LEDs 55 blink continues ((a41) in FIG. 3). In this way, even if the frame lamp 62 is extinguished and the winning effect ends, the winning effect by the reel LEDs 55 is continued, so that the player can easily recognize that the winning has occurred.

(1-3) As shown in FIGS. 3(a41) and 3(a51), when the frame lamp 62 changes from unlit to rainbow lit, a bonus win (win) is announced. In this way, by lighting not only the frame lamp 62 but also the frame lamp 61 in the rainbow, a unified effect is executed, and the effect of the battle effect is further enhanced.

(1-4) As shown in FIG. 3, the frame lamp 62 lights up in yellow when the bell wins, whereas it lights up in red when the cherry wins. In addition, the frame lamp 61 lights up in a rainbow color when a bonus win is reported, but is turned off when a bonus non-win is reported. In this way, the frame lamp 62 and the frame lamp 61 are lit in a plurality of lighting modes, respectively, but since the lighting times are different from each other, the content of the notification will not be confused when the winning effect is executed.

(1-5) As shown in FIG. 4, the frame lamp 62 and the reel L for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning
When power failure occurs during the execution of the winning effect using the ED 55 (Fig. 4(a1)) and the power is restored after that, the winning effect is not executed (Fig. 4(a3)), and the occurrence of the cherry winning is notified. Winning effect using frame lamp 62, reel LED 55 and liquid crystal display 51 (Fig. 4 (b1)
(
FIG. 4(b3). In this way, when power is cut off during the execution of the winning effect and then the power is restored, the winning effect of notifying the occurrence of the bell prize is not executed, whereas the winning effect of notifying the occurrence of the cherry prize is not executed. Since it is not executed, the processing load for executing the winning effect is reduced, and the player can easily recognize that a cherry prize has been won.

(2-1) As shown in FIG. 4, the frame lamp 62 and the reel L for announcing the occurrence of the bell winning
During the execution of the winning effect using the ED 55 (FIG. 4(a1)), when the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure, and then the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed after the power failure, the winning effect is performed. is not executed (FIG. 4(a3)). On the other hand, a winning effect using the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 for notifying the occurrence of the cherry winning (Fig. 4 (b1)
) is interrupted due to a power failure, and when the power failure is restored and the game progress process is restarted, a winning effect is executed (Fig. 4 (b3)).
. In this way, the process related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of power failure during execution of the winning effect,
After that, when the power is restored from the power outage and the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed, the prize winning effect of notifying the occurrence of the bell prize is not executed, but the prize winning effect of notifying the occurrence of the cherry prize is executed. is easy to recognize that a cherry winning has occurred. In this way, it is possible to appropriately notify the occurrence of winning even when the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted.

(2-2) As shown in FIG. 4, when a cherry win is made, a bonus win is also made at the same time. Since it is in an advantageous state, the player can pay more attention to the occurrence of a cherry win.

(2-3) As shown in FIG. 3(a2), the prize-winning effect for informing the occurrence of the bell prize-winning ends when two seconds have elapsed. , the winning performance for informing the occurrence of the cherry winning is continued until the BET operation is performed, so that the occurrence of the cherry winning can be appealed to the player.

(2-4) As shown in FIG. 3, the winning effect for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning is executed by lighting the frame lamp 62 in yellow, while the winning effect for notifying the occurrence of the cherry winning is executed by the frame lamp 62. is executed by lighting up in red, the player can easily recognize which prize has been won by the prize winning effect.

(2-5) As shown in FIGS. 4(a2) and 4(b2), while the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of power failure, the prize-winning effect is not executed, so the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing that the winning effect is being executed.

(2-6) As shown in FIGS. 5(a3), (a4), (b3), and (b4), even if winning occurs in the preparation state after the power supply to the slot machine 1 is restored, Performance is not executed. In this way, since the winning effect is not executed when the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55 and the liquid crystal display 51 are in preparation (when the effect cannot be executed normally), an erroneous winning effect is executed in an abnormal state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the occurrence of winning.

(3-1) As shown in FIG. 6, the frame lamp 62 and the reel L for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning
During the execution of the winning effect using the ED 55 (FIG. 6(a1)), when the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of power failure, and then the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed after the power failure is restored, the winning effect is executed. is not executed (FIG. 6(a3)). On the other hand, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning (FIG. 6(b1)), the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, and then the error is released. When the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed by pressing, the winning effect is executed (FIG. 6(b3)). In this way, when the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error during the execution of the winning effect at the time of winning a bell, and then the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed after the power failure, the winning effect is executed. Therefore, when the game process is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, the player can easily recognize that a bell win has occurred. In this way, it is possible to appropriately notify the occurrence of winning even when the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted.

(3-2) As shown in FIG. 6, when the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure due to the end of business, and the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed due to the restoration of the power failure on the next business day (see FIG. 6). In (a3)), there is a high possibility that the player has changed, and the process related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, and then the process related to the progress of the game is resumed due to the cancellation of the error (Fig. 6 (b3)). )) waits for the cancellation of an error that occurred during the game, so the possibility that the player has changed is low. In this way, when the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error during the execution of the winning effect at the time of winning a bell, and then the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed after the power failure, the player is replaced. In this case, the winning effect is executed, so it is possible to make the same player recognize that the winning has occurred before and after the error occurs. Never mislead.

(3-3) As shown in FIGS. 6(a2) and 6(b2), a power failure or an error occurs regardless of the operation of the start switch 7 or the like operated by the player during execution of the winning effect. Thus, game interruptions can occur in situations where the player is not aware of the occurrence of the winning.

(3-4) As shown in FIG. 6(a2), while the process relating to the progress of the game is suspended due to the power outage, the winning effect is not executed, and as shown in FIG. 6(b2). , while the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, the winning effect is executed. Since the liquid crystal display 51 is used for error notification while the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the occurrence of an error, the liquid crystal display 51 can be used to execute the winning effects after the interruption. .

(3-5) As shown in FIGS. 5(a3), (a4), (b3), and (b4), even if winning occurs in the preparation state after the power supply to the slot machine 1 is restored, Performance is not executed. In this way, since the winning effect is not executed when the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55 and the liquid crystal display 51 are in preparation (when the effect cannot be executed normally), an erroneous winning effect is executed in an abnormal state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the occurrence of winning.

For example, when the bell wins, the examples in FIGS. 4(a1) to 4(a4) are applied, when the cherry wins, the examples in FIGS. 4(b1) to 4(b4) are applied, and when the watermelon wins, FIG. Examples a1) to (a4) may be applied.

[Regarding interruption conditions]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, power interruption and error are examples of interruption conditions. However, the interruption condition is not limited to this, and may be transition to the setting confirmation state. The setting confirmation state is a state in which setting values of the slot machine 1 can be confirmed. The setting confirmation state can be entered by operating a setting key switch provided in the slot machine 1 . When the setting key switch is operated to shift to the setting confirmation state, the processing relating to the progress of the game is interrupted. Further, when the setting confirmation state is ended by operating the setting key switch, the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning, the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the transition to the setting confirmation state, and then the setting is performed. When the confirmation state is terminated and the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed, a winning effect using the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 may be executed. Also, in the setting confirmation state, a winning effect using the frame lamps 62 and the reel LEDs 55 may be executed.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LED 55 for notifying the occurrence of the bell winning, the processing related to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the transition to the setting confirmation state. When the setting confirmation state is terminated and the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed, the winning effect may not be executed. On the other hand, during the execution of the winning effect using the frame lamp 62, the reel LED 55, and the liquid crystal display 51 for notifying the occurrence of the bonus winning, the process relating to the progress of the game is interrupted due to the transition to the setting confirmation state, and then the setting confirmation is performed. When the state ends and the processing relating to the progress of the game is resumed, the winning effect may be executed. At that time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image notifying that the bonus has been won.

In the present embodiment, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the bell winning is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to the bonus winning. For example, during execution of a winning effect using the frame lamp 62 and the reel LEDs 55 for notifying the occurrence of a bonus winning, and a winning effect using the liquid crystal display 51, a power failure occurs, interrupting processing related to the progress of the game. When the processing related to the progress of the game is resumed after returning from the disconnection, the frame lamp 62 and the reel L
The winning effect using the ED55 may not be executed. On the other hand, the liquid crystal display 5
A winning effect using 1 may be executed.

[Regarding the execution of prize-winning effects after power failure]
As shown in FIG. 4(b3), when the winning effect using the liquid crystal display 51 is executed after recovery from the power failure, the winning effect is executed from the beginning. However, this is not the only option, and the winning effect may be executed from the beginning even when the winning effect of the reel LEDs 55 and the frame lamps 62 is performed. For example, when the LED is composed of a plurality of LEDs and the lighting order of the LEDs is predetermined, or when the LEDs are lit or blinked in order to draw a circle, the lighting may be started from the beginning in the lighting order.

Further, when the prize winning effect is executed after recovery from power failure, the prize winning effect is not limited to being executed from the beginning, and the prize winning effect may be executed from the middle. For example, the sub-control unit 91 executes a prize-winning effect in which the character image "Chance" is moved from the left end of the screen to the center of the screen and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. If it has moved to the center, the character image "Chance" may be displayed at the center of the screen from the beginning after the power is restored.

In addition, in the case of executing the winning effect for a specific time (for example, 5 seconds), the above-mentioned "executing the winning effect from the beginning" means executing from the beginning of the specific time (at the execution time before the power failure). The above-mentioned "execution of the winning effect from the middle" means execution from the continuation of a specific time (if it has been executed for 2 seconds before the power failure, (executed for the remaining 3 seconds after the power is turned off).

[Regarding specific prizes]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 8, the bell prize is exemplified as the predetermined prize, and the cherry prize that can be won simultaneously with the bonus is exemplified as the specific prize. However, the special winning is not limited to this, and may be a bonus winning. It may also be a combination that can be won at the same time as a bonus, or a combination that increases the degree of advantage by winning or winning, such as an advantageous section transition combination (described later).

[About battle production]
In the present embodiment, in the example shown in FIG. 4, a battle effect suggesting bonus winning is executed as the suggestive effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to the example shown in FIG. 4 by executing a battle effect suggesting whether or not an advantageous section is won during a normal section. Further, the presence or absence of provision of CZ or AT may be suggested in the premonitory state during the advantageous section. Further, in the case where an advantageous section and a bonus can be won at the same time when a cherry is won, the presence or absence of provision of CZ or AT or the presence or absence of a bonus winning may be suggested in the premonitory state during the advantageous section.

The main control unit 41 controls a plurality of types of game intervals as a concept of a state different from the game state (RT state). The game section includes a normal section, a standby section and an advantageous section. A normal section is a section in which navigation information cannot be reported. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information can be notified, and is a section having performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player how to operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. After the setting change, it is controlled to the normal section, and it shifts to the advantageous section based on winning the transition to the advantageous section. The transition to the advantageous section is elected when a predetermined condition is established. In the normal section, when the bonus is won, the control to the advantageous section is controlled to the standby section until the bonus is won. In the waiting section, it is controlled to an advantageous section when a bonus is won.

The main control unit 41 shifts to an advantageous section when winning an advantageous section transition hand (for example, a rare hand such as cherry) in a normal section. The advantageous interval includes the precursor state, CZ, and AT. In the present embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is won, the type of the advantageous section is determined by the advantageous section sorting lottery as either the premonition state only or the CZ transition after the premonition state. The premonitory state is a state that suggests whether the advantageous section continues as it is under control of CZ or AT, or whether to shift to a normal section without being controlled by CZ or AT. AT is a notification state controlled by the main control unit 41 to execute a navigation effect for informing the player of the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.
CZ is controlled by the main control unit 41 and is a state in which the degree of advantage in controlling the AT is higher than in the normal section. When the control is in the advantageous interval, the transition to the normal interval is made based on the conditions for ending the advantageous interval (for example, the number of AT games and the number of CZ games becoming 0) are established.

The present invention is applicable not only to the present embodiment but also to the modifications described above, but it is not limited to this, and only a part of the modifications listed above may be applied, or a plurality of modifications may be applied. Examples may be combined and applied. Moreover, you may make it apply combining freely, including notes.

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