The state can be controlled by a sub-control section 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 . The sub-control section 91 receives commands transmitted from the main control section 41 and performs various controls for effecting.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the payout rate of medals changes according to the set value. More specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by using a winning probability according to a set value in a lottery such as an internal lottery or an AT lottery that affects the player's advantage. The set value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate, and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 decreasing the value in order, lowering the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the degree of advantage for the player is the highest, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the degree of advantage decreases stepwise.

In order to change the set value, it is necessary to turn on the power switch 39 of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37 . When the setting key switch 37 is turned on to turn on the power, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset/setting switch 38. Move to the setting change state. When the reset/setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the operation is further performed from the setting value 6, the setting value is changed to 1). return). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the displayed value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (set value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control section 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

The setting key switch 37 and the reset/setting switch 38 are provided inside the slot machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the front door 1b, which can be opened by operating a predetermined key, is opened. Only the store clerk who has a predetermined key among the store clerk of the installed amusement shop can operate. In particular, since the setting key switch 37 requires further key operation, it can be operated only by a store clerk who has a key for operating the setting key switch 37, even among game store clerks. Further, the reset switch 23 does not need to open the front door 1b, but requires key operation using a predetermined key, so that it can be operated only by a store clerk who has a predetermined key. Also, the reset/setting switch 38 normally functions as a reset switch for canceling an error state.

When a game is played in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion portion 4 or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the bet amount using credits. When a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set, a predetermined winning line LN (see FIG. 1, in this embodiment, is curved to the middle of the reels 2L and 2C and the top of the reel 2R). ) is enabled, and the operation of the start switch 7 is enabled, that is, 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. Also, in this embodiment, only one pay line is applied, but a plurality of pay lines may be applied.

Further, in this embodiment, invalid lines LM1 to LM5 are set in addition to the winning line LN in order to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line LN has been completed. Winning of invalid lines LM1-LM5 is not determined by a combination of symbols on these invalid lines LM1-LM5. A combination of suggestive patterns suggesting winning in any of 5 (for example, Bell a-Bell a-Bell a) is arranged, so that the winning line LN recognizes that the combination of patterns constituting the winning is complete. to make it easier.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are rotated and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are continuously varied. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotating, the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R are controlled to stop, and the rotation of the reels is stopped. The game is stopped, and the symbols on the relevant reel are derived and displayed on the see-through window 3 as a display result.

In the stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in this embodiment) from when each stop switch is operated. is performed, and until the maximum stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, a maximum of 4 frames worth of symbols can be drawn. In other words, in the stop control, the pattern displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the pattern displayed up to four frames ahead, one pattern out of the patterns for a total of five frames (withdrawal range). can be selected and led out to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, a winning combination won in an internal lottery, which will be described later, is selected. If the constituent symbols are within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames ahead from the symbol when the stop switch is operated, the relevant symbol is drawn onto the pay line LN, and the rotation of the reel whose stop switch is operated is stopped. On the other hand, when the symbols constituting the winning combination won by the internal lottery are not within the withdrawal range, the symbols constituting the winning combination not won by the internal lottery are displayed on the winning line LN. In order not to stop upward, it is possible to draw a symbol that does not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line LN, and to stop the rotation of the reel whose stop switch is operated.

In addition, in the stop control, when the winning of the special winning combination (BB in this embodiment) that accompanies the transition of the game state is carried over, the internal lottery wins the small winning combination that accompanies the provision of medals, and the special winning combination is selected. and small wins are won at the same time, control is performed so that the constituent symbols of the winning minor win are preferentially drawn to the winning line LN within the above-described drawing range, and the winning minor win wins. When the composition patterns cannot be drawn into the pay line LN, the composition patterns of the winning special combination are controlled to be drawn into the pay line LN. Therefore, in a game in which a special role and a minor role are won at the same time, it is difficult to win the winning special role.

In addition, in the stop control, when the winning of the special role (BB in this embodiment) is carried over, the replay role accompanied by the provision of the replay is won by the internal lottery, and the special role and the replay role are won. are winning at the same time, the constituent symbols of the winning replay combination are preferentially drawn to the winning line LN. The symbols constituting the replay combination on each of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are arranged within a predetermined drawing range, and when the replay combination is won, the symbols constituting the replay combination are always drawn into the winning line LN. Become. Therefore, in a game in which a special role and a replay role are won at the same time, the winning special role cannot be awarded.

When all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, one game is finished, and a combination of symbols of a predetermined winning combination is displayed on each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and stopped on the winning line LN. When a prize is generated in the game, control is performed according to the prize. When a small winning combination is won, the number of medals determined according to the type is given to the player and added to the credits. Also, when the number of credits reaches the upper limit (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout port 9 (see FIG. 1). Further, when a replay combination wins, a replay that allows a game to be played without inserting medals is awarded. Also, when a special winning combination is won, the game state is shifted to another game state.

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

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the type of winning combination (hereinafter referred to as winning combination) is determined according to the gaming state, and there is no need to set a small combination involving the payout of medals and the number of bets. There are a replay role in which a replay that allows the next game to start is provided, and a special role that involves a transition to a game state. In the following, the small combination and the replay combination are collectively referred to as a general combination. In order to generate a prize for each combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the win flag for the combination. In the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to allow the winning of each combination before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the predetermined number When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the number of bets set, a random number is used to determine.

Of the winning flags for each role, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the replaying combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of winning combinations allowed by the flag is complete, and becomes invalid in a game in which the combination of winning winning combinations is complete. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of roles allowed by the flag cannot be arranged, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It's becoming

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, the order of pressing, the operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , a replaying combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a navigating combination) can be won. The navigable role may be, for example, a role in which the stop mode is more advantageous than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, rather than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , and a winning combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping in an advantageous stop mode is higher than in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. In addition, the advantageous stop mode includes not only the stop mode accompanied by awarding of medals, but also the stop mode accompanied by a transition to an advantageous game state, a stop mode in which a transition to a disadvantageous game state is avoided, and the like.

The main control unit 41 executes navigation information that can identify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous to the player according to the result of the internal lottery, by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control to an assist time (AT) state that is a possible notification period. The main control unit 41 starts controlling the AT state when the player is given the right to be controlled in the AT state. Then, when the control is in the AT state, by winning the navigation target role, the navigation notification is executed, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player (for example, the pressing order , operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display device 12, and a command capable of specifying an operation mode advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, whereby the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. The navigation effect notified by using the device 51 or the like is executed. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation performance, the navigation target role won by the internal lottery can be surely won.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is provided with a game auxiliary display 12 capable of displaying the number of medals to be paid out, an error code, and navigation information. Although it is a configuration for notifying navigation information, it may be configured to provide a dedicated display capable of displaying only navigation information, and to notify navigation information using the dedicated display in the control of navigation information.

[About game status]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 can control the game state to be either a normal game state or a special game state. The normal game state includes a normal game state (non-internal) in which winning of BB is not carried over and a normal game state (during internal) in which winning of BB is carried over.

The normal game state (non-inside) is a state in which BB has not been won in the normal game state. This is a gaming state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by setting a new set value by moving the slot machine 1 to the factory shipment state or the setting change state. Also, when the special game state is terminated, the normal game state (non-internal state) is entered. The normal game state (non-internal) continues until BB wins the internal lottery, and ends when BB wins the internal lottery and shifts to the normal game state (internal).

The normal game state (during internal) is a state in which BB is carried over in the normal game state. It starts when a BB wins an internal lottery in a normal game state (non-internal), continues until the winning BB wins a prize, and shifts to a special game state when the winning BB wins a prize. end with .

The special game state is a game state that transitions to when BB wins in the normal game state, and starts when the BB carried over in the normal game state (internal) wins, and a predetermined end condition is met ( In this embodiment, the game continues until the total number of medals paid out in the special game state exceeds 50, and ends when a predetermined end condition is met and the game shifts to the normal game state (non-internal).

In this embodiment, when a special combination and a minor combination are won at the same time, control is performed so that the minor combination is preferentially arranged. performs control to always align the replay combination. That is, when a small winning combination is won in the normal game state (internal middle), it is difficult for BB to win a prize, and when a replay winning combination is won, BB does not win a prize.

In addition, in the normal game state (internal middle), any small winning combination or any replay winning combination is always won, so once the normal game state (internal middle) is entered, it becomes difficult to win BB, and the normal game state is reached. After the transition to (during internal), the normal game state (during internal) is likely to be maintained. In addition, once it shifts to the normal game state (during internal), winning of BB becomes impossible, and after shifting to the normal game state (during internal), the setting value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state The normal game state (internal) may be maintained until the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized.

As described above, in this embodiment, most of the game is controlled in the normal game state (during internal). In the example, the medal payout rate is designed according to 1 to 6).

[Regarding the target role of the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, in the normal game state (not inside), replay A, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, 24 types of push order A, 12 A type of winning combination B and 12 types of winning combination B+BB are subject to an internal lottery. In the normal game state (non-internal), the winning probability of replay A, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, pushing order A, pushing order B, pushing order B + BB is about 1. /7.3, about 1/82, about 1/66, about 1/328, about 1/273, about 1/32, about 1/2.4, about 1/16, about 1/3.2 The probability of not winning (losing) is about 1/390.

In addition, in the normal game state (inside), replay A, replay B, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, 24 types of pushing order A, and 12 types of pushing order B are inside. Subject to lottery. In the normal game state (internal), the odds of winning Replay A, Replay B, Weak Cherry, Weak Watermelon, Strong Cherry, Strong Watermelon, Common Bell, Push Order A, and Push Order B are about 1/7. 3, about 1/390, about 1/82, about 1/66, about 1/328, about 1/273, about 1/32, about 1/2.4, about 1/2.7 , the probability of not winning (losing) is zero.

In the special game state, replay A, common bells, and special bells are subject to internal lottery. In the special game state, the winning probabilities of replay A, common bell, and special bell are set to approximately 1/26, approximately 1/6.7, and approximately 1/1.4, respectively, and the probability of non-winning (losing). is about 1/9.7.

A winning hand A and a winning hand B are wins in which a plurality of small wins (in this embodiment, a main and a minor winning combination) are won, and stop operations are performed in the stop operation order corresponding to each winning hand. is performed, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, while the main and minor roles with the payout of 12 medals are won, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order other than the corresponding stop operation order. Depending on the timing, a minor winning combination with a payout of one medal is won, or the minor winning combination does not win a prize. That is, the expected value of the number of medals to be awarded changes depending on the difference in the order of stop operations, and the expected value of the number of medals to be awarded changes when the order of stop operations corresponding to the winning push role is notified by navigation. It's a minor role.

In addition, in this embodiment, BB always wins at the same time as the winning combination B, but in this case, the control for deriving the minor combination is given priority over the control for deriving the combination of BB. The reel stop control is common between when B+BB is won and when the pushing order B is won alone, and when the stop operation is performed in the same stop operation order and at the same timing, the common display result. is derived so that it is not possible to distinguish between the case where the winning combination B+BB is won and the case where the winning combination B is won.

In addition, the lottery targets (including non-winning) of the internal lottery include non-winning, replay A, replay B, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, special bell, pushing order role A, pushing order Winning numbers from 0 to 56 are assigned in the order of winning combination B and winning combination B+BB, respectively, and winning numbers corresponding to the lottery results of the internal lottery are set in the RAM 41c. In addition, the lottery targets of the internal lottery (including non-winners) are assigned corresponding flags for transitioning to advantageous sections of 0 to 4 and lottery flags of 0 to 6, respectively, and the result of the internal lottery (winning number) Advantageous section shift flags and lottery flags are set in the RAM 41c. The flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is referred to when determining whether or not to transition to the advantageous section, and when performing a lottery (state lottery at the time of transition, which will be described later, etc.) at the time of transitioning to the advantageous section. In addition, the lottery flag is used to determine whether or not to conduct a lottery related to the granting of AT (the first AT lottery, the second AT lottery, the point award lottery, etc. described later), and to refer to the lottery related to the granting of AT. be done.

0 is assigned to the advantageous zone transition flag for lottery targets other than the advantageous zone transition role. A common value is assigned to a lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when a lottery (state lottery at the time of transition, which will be described later) is performed at the time of section transition. Therefore, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not it is an advantageous section transition hand from each winning number when determining whether or not to make a transition to an advantageous section. Depending on whether the flag is 0 or not, it is possible to specify whether or not it is an advantageous section transition hand. Also, when specifying the probability corresponding to the winning number in the lottery performed at the time of transition to the advantageous interval, the probability is not specified from each winning number, but the probability corresponding to the winning number is determined from the value of the flag for transitioning to the advantageous interval. It is designed to be specified, so there is no need to set the probability for each winning number, and by setting the probability for each advantageous section transition flag, which is less than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target can be specified.

The lottery flag is assigned 0 to lottery targets that are not subject to lotteries related to AT granting (1st AT lottery, 2nd AT lottery, point lottery, etc. described later). A common value is assigned to a lottery target that has a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the granting of AT, such as multiple types of pushing wins. ing. Therefore, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not to perform the lottery based on the individual winning numbers when performing the lottery related to the granting of AT. It is possible to specify whether or not to perform a lottery related to giving AT. Also, when specifying the probability corresponding to the winning number in the lottery related to the granting of AT, the probability is specified not from the individual winning numbers but from the value of the lottery flag. Thus, there is no need to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each lottery flag less than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability corresponding to the attribute of the lottery object can be specified. can be done.

[About flag conversion]
After the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 performs flag conversion processing for converting the winning number set according to the result of the internal lottery into an advantageous section transition flag and a lottery flag.

FIG. 6(a) is a flow chart showing the control contents of the flag conversion process performed by the main control section 41 in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 6(a), in the flag conversion process, the main control unit 41 first determines whether or not the game is in the special game state, that is, the state is not shifted to the advantageous section, and the lottery related to the granting of AT is performed. It is determined whether or not it is in a game state in which the game is never played (Sa1).

If it is determined in Sa1 that the game is not in the special game state, an advantageous zone transition flag conversion process is performed to convert the winning number into a corresponding advantageous zone transition flag (Sa2).

In the advantageous section transition flag conversion process, the advantageous section transition flag conversion table in which the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the winning number is set is referenced to set the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the winning number. In the advantageous zone transition flag conversion table, an advantageous zone transition flag is set corresponding to the winning number to be selected in at least one of the normal game state (non-internal) and normal game state (internal). Regardless of whether it is in the normal game state (non-internal) or in the normal game state (internal), the common advantageous interval transition flag conversion table is used to convert the common advantageous interval transition flag conversion table. By performing the processing, the winning number is converted into an advantageous section transition flag.

After the advantageous section shift flag conversion process of Sa2, a lottery flag conversion process for converting the winning number into a corresponding lottery flag is performed (Sa3).

In the lottery flag conversion process, a lottery flag corresponding to the winning number is set by referring to a lottery flag conversion table in which the lottery flag corresponding to the winning number is set. In the lottery flag conversion table, lottery flags are set corresponding to the winning numbers to be lottered in at least one of the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal). By performing a common lottery flag conversion process using a common lottery flag conversion table, regardless of whether it is in the game state (non-internal) or in the normal game state (internal), the winning number is converted to a lottery flag.

After the lottery flag conversion process of Sa3, the flag conversion process is terminated and the original process is returned to.

Further, when it is determined in Sa1 that it is in the special game state, regardless of the winning number, the flag for transition to the advantageous section is set to 0 (Sa4), and regardless of the winning number, the lottery flag is set to 0. (Sa5), the flag conversion process is terminated and the original process is returned to.

As described above, in this embodiment, by performing the flag conversion process after the internal lottery, there is a possibility that the normal section will shift to the advantageous section, and a lottery related to the granting of AT may be performed. In the game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal), the winning number is converted into both the flag for transition to the advantageous section and the flag for lottery for each game.

Also, in the case of a special game state in which there is no possibility of shifting from a normal section to an advantageous section and there is no possibility of a lottery related to giving AT, regardless of the winning number, the advantageous section transition flag is set to 0, and regardless of the winning number, the lottery flag is set to 0. Thus, in the special game state, by checking the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is made. By checking the lottery flag, it is specified that the lottery related to the granting of AT will not be performed.

[Regarding a modified example of flag conversion processing]
FIG. 6(b) is a flow chart showing the control contents of a modification of the flag conversion process performed by the main control section 41. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6B, in the modified example of the flag conversion process, the main control unit 41 first determines whether there is a possibility of transitioning to an advantageous section, and where there is no lottery related to the granting of AT. It is determined whether or not it is an interval (Sb1).

If it is determined in Sb1 that it is in the normal section, it is determined whether or not it is in a special game state, that is, whether or not it is in a game state in which it is not shifted to an advantageous section (Sb2).

If it is determined in Sb2 that the game is not in the special game state, an advantageous interval transition flag conversion process is performed to convert the winning number into a corresponding advantageous interval transition flag (Sb3), the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process returns. return.

Also, if it is determined in Sb2 that the game is in the special game state, regardless of the winning number, 0 is set to the flag for transition to the advantageous section (Sb4), the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is returned to.

Also, if it is determined in Sb1 that it is not a normal section, that is, if it is an advantageous section with no possibility of shifting to an advantageous section and a lottery related to the grant of AT may be performed, the special game state It is determined whether or not, that is, whether or not it is a gaming state in which a lottery related to giving AT is not performed (Sb5).

When it is determined in Sb5 that the game is not in the special game state, a lottery flag conversion process for converting the winning number into a corresponding lottery flag is performed (Sb6), the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is returned to.

If it is determined in Sb5 that the game is in the special game state, the lottery flag is set to 0 regardless of the winning number (Sb7), the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is returned to.

In this way, in the modified example of the flag conversion process, if there is a possibility of shifting to an advantageous section, and if the section is a normal section in which a lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed, the winning number is set for the advantageous section transition. Converted to a flag, if it is an advantageous section with no possibility of transition to an advantageous section and a possibility of a lottery related to the granting of AT, the winning number is converted into a lottery flag. It's becoming

Also, even if it is a normal section, if it is a special game state in which there is no possibility of shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section, 0 is set to the advantageous section transition flag regardless of the winning number. As a result, when the game is in the special game state even in the normal section, by checking the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section, it is specified that the transition to the advantageous section is not performed.

In addition, even in an advantageous section, in the case of a special game state in which there is no possibility of a lottery related to the granting of AT, the lottery flag is set to 0 regardless of the winning number. As a result, when the game is in a special game state even in an advantageous section, by checking the lottery flag, it is specified that the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed.

[About navigation notifications and navigation effects]
A mode of navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41 and a mode of navigation effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG.

During a predetermined game (from when the reels start spinning to when all the reels stop spinning) in which processing related to navigation notification is performed, the main control unit 41 controls the navigation system that has won the internal lottery. By displaying the navigation display corresponding to the target role on the game auxiliary display 12, it is possible to perform navigation notification for notifying the player of a stop mode that is advantageous to the player in accordance with the navigation target role. Further, the main control unit 41 can transmit to the sub-control unit 91 a command including a navigation number that can specify a stop mode that is advantageous to the player at the start of a predetermined game in which processing related to navigation notification is performed. It is possible.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 displays the liquid crystal display 51 or the like in a game in which a stop state that is advantageous to the player can be specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41. It can be done using

The main control unit 41 performs a process related to the navigation notification to indicate that the left-center-right stop operation is an advantageous stop mode for the player during the game in which the navigation number is set to "1". During a game in which display 1 (display of "12" on the game auxiliary display 12) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 and "2" is set as the navigation number, there is a stop mode that is advantageous to the player. During the game, a navigation display 2 (a display displaying "13" on the game auxiliary display 12) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and "3" is set as the navigation number, suggesting that it is a left/right middle stop operation. In , the game auxiliary display 12 is caused to display a navigation display 3 (a display showing "21" on the game auxiliary display 12) suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the middle left/right stop operation, and the navigation is performed. During the game in which the number "4" is set, a navigation display 4 (a display showing "23" on the game auxiliary display 12) suggesting that the stopping mode advantageous to the player is the middle right/left stop operation. is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and during the game in which "5" is set as the navigation number, navigation display 5 (game auxiliary display During a game in which a display "31" is displayed on the device 12) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 and "6" is set as the navigation number, the stopping mode advantageous to the player is the right-center-left stop operation. The game auxiliary display 12 is caused to display a navigation display 6 (display displaying "32" on the game auxiliary display 12) suggesting that there is.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 determines that during the game in which the navigation number "1" is specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the stop mode that is advantageous for the player is the left-center-right stop operation. A navigation image 1 suggesting that the and displaying "3" in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8R) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and during the game in which the navigation number "2" is specified, the stopping mode is advantageous for the player. is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and during the game in which the navigation number "3" is specified, the stopping mode advantageous to the player is the middle left/right stop operation. A navigation image 3 suggesting that there is a stop is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and during the game in which the navigation number "4" is specified, the navigation that suggests that the stopping mode advantageous to the player is the middle, right, left stop operation. The image 4 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and during the game in which the navigation number "5" is specified, the liquid crystal display displays the navigation image 5 suggesting that the stopping mode advantageous to the player is the right-left center stop operation. 51, and during the game in which the navigation number "6" is specified, the navigation image 6 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, suggesting that the stopping mode advantageous to the player is the right-center-left stop operation. It has become.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the navigation notification, as an operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous for the player, the operation order (correct pressing order) is notified. The structure may suggest the operation timings of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that are advantageous to the player, or the structure that suggests the combination of the operation order and the operation timings of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player. For example, when the operation mode of the stop switch that is advantageous to the player is a predetermined operation timing for a predetermined reel, the game auxiliary display 12 displays the symbol number corresponding to the predetermined operation timing on the predetermined reel. By displaying together with the corresponding number or the like, or by displaying an image of a pattern corresponding to the predetermined operation timing on the liquid crystal display 51 at a position corresponding to the predetermined reel, it is possible to suggest the operation mode. be.

[About the game section]
As shown in FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 can control the game section to be either a normal section or an advantageous section.

The normal section is a game section in which navigation notification is not performed, and is started when the next game is started after the advantageous section ends. After that, the normal section ends in a game in which an advantageous section transition combination is won in an internal lottery in a game controlled to a game state other than the special game state. In the normal section, the section display LED 19 is always controlled to be turned off.

The advantageous section is a game section in which the navigation notification may be performed, and is a game section that is more advantageous to the player than the normal section because the navigation notification can be executed. In the game of the normal section, the advantageous section is determined to be shifted to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section transition hand in the internal lottery in the game that is controlled to a game state other than the special game state, and the next game starts. It is started by being After that, the end condition (end conditions 1 to 3 to be described later) of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the process ends. The main control unit 41 lights the section display LED 19 at the start of the advantageous section, thereby making it possible to recognize that the advantageous section is in progress. After that, the main control unit 41 turns off the section display LED 19 when the advantageous section ends, and ends the section display.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 lights the section display LED 19 at the start of the game in which the advantageous section starts, thereby starting notification that the advantageous section is being controlled. At the start of the game, when the medal payout rate (the number of medals paid out/the number of bets) can exceed 100% due to the first navigation notification after the start of the section, the section display LED 19 is turned on to control the advantageous section. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which notification to the effect that the

In the advantageous section, when a predetermined notification condition is established (in this embodiment, the AT state is controlled to be described later, and the navigation target role is won in an internal lottery), navigation notification can be performed. By performing the navigation notification, the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that are advantageous for the player are notified.

The main control unit 41 controls to the AT state in which the navigation notification is performed when controlling to the advantageous section. Then, when the AT state is controlled, when the navigation target role is won in the internal lottery, the control of the navigation notification (control to display the navigation display on the game auxiliary display 12, the navigation corresponding to the navigation display) It is possible to notify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player by performing control such as transmitting a command that can specify a number, and the advantageous section is compared to the normal section. It becomes an advantageous game section for the player.

End condition 1 is established when the number of games in the advantageous interval (the number of games in the advantageous interval) reaches a first prescribed number (1500 games in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of games. , The end is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase/decrease in the number of medals changes from a decreasing trend to an increasing trend in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of medals. Condition 2, termination condition 3, which is satisfied when a predetermined arbitrary condition (in this embodiment, the AT preparation state ends without transitioning to the AT state, and the AT state termination condition is satisfied) is satisfied. is included, and the advantageous section is terminated when at least one of the termination conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied.

In this embodiment, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section by winning a predetermined advantageous section transition combination when the game section is controlled to the normal section. When it is controlled to the normal section, the advantageous section transition lottery is performed by winning the advantageous section transition lottery target role in the internal lottery, and the game section is changed to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section transition lottery. It may be configured to shift to .

[Regarding initialization after changing settings]
Next, the initialization of the game state and the game section accompanying the setting change will be described. The main control unit 41 initializes a part of the area stored in the RAM 41c along with the transition to the setting change state. At this time, the information about the game state and the information about the game section are initialized.

The information about the game state includes a game state flag indicating the game state and a winning flag of BB, and the information about the game state is initialized along with the transition to the setting change state. Regardless of whether the game state is a normal game state (non-internal), a normal game state (internal), or a special game state, the game state flag and the winning flag of the BB are initialized, and the normal game is started. It will be controlled to the state (non-internal).

In addition, the information on the advantageous section includes an advantageous section flag indicating the advantageous section, and the information on the game section is initialized along with the transition to the setting change state, so that the game section before shifting to the setting change state Whether is a normal section or an advantageous section, the advantageous section flag is initialized and controlled to the normal section.

[Regarding the flow from normal section to AT state]
Next, the flow of control from the normal section to the AT state by the main control section 41 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous interval from the next game when the advantageous interval transition winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the game played in the normal interval. In the advantageous section, it is controlled into a plurality of advantageous section states including a normal state, a CZ (chance zone) state, an AT preparation state, and an AT state.

The normal state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, and the percentage of decisions to control to the AT state in the AT lottery that determines whether or not to control to the AT state is low, and the effect to control to the AT state is low. Even if it is determined, it is not controlled to the AT state until the condition for terminating the normal state is satisfied, which is the most disadvantageous state for the player in the advantageous section. The CZ state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed. This state is controlled to the AT state without waiting for the end condition of the CZ state, and is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. The AT preparation state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, and is a state in which control is performed before shifting to the AT state. It should be noted that this state is controlled even when the AT state is not controlled after the end of the normal state. The AT state is a state in which navigation announcements are made for a long period of time, and is the most advantageous state for the player in the advantageous section.

The main control unit 41 performs an advantageous section transition process, which will be described later, when an advantageous section transition hand is won in a normal section and transitions to an advantageous section, and any of the normal state, CZ state, and AT state is determined and determined. transition to the advantageous section state. The details of the advantageous section transition processing will be described later.

The main control unit 41 controls to the normal state when the transition to the normal state is determined along with the transition to the advantageous section, or when the first AT lottery, which will be described later, is not won in the CZ state. In the normal state, as will be described later, the main control unit 41 performs a periodic game that continues until the number of periodic games is reached. When the periodic game ends, the normal state is ended and the AT preparation state is set.

Further, the main control unit 41 controls to the CZ state when it is determined to shift to the CZ state along with the shift to the advantageous section. In the CZ state, the main control unit 41 performs the first AT lottery for determining whether to control to the AT state each time the target combination (lottery target with lottery flag other than 0) is won. In the first AT lottery, it is determined whether or not to control to the AT state with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery, and if it is decided to control to the AT state, An AT win flag indicating that is set. Also, in the second AT lottery performed in the normal state as described later, whether or not to control to the AT state is determined with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery. However, in the first AT lottery, even if the results of the internal lottery are the same, it is decided with a higher probability that the AT state will be controlled than in the second AT lottery. Then, when the first AT lottery is won in the CZ state, the main control unit 41 terminates the CZ state after a premonitory period of a predetermined number of games (five games), and controls to the AT preparation state. In addition, after the CZ state starts, the main control unit 41 terminates the CZ state by passing the specified number of games (100 games in this embodiment) without winning the first AT lottery, and controls the state to the normal state. .

Further, the main control unit 41, when it is determined to shift to the AT state along with the shift to the advantageous section, when the normal state ends, when the first AT lottery is won in the CZ state and the CZ state ends Then, control to the AT ready state. In the AT preparation state, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT state is won in the first game. If the transition to the state is decided, if the 2nd AT lottery or the 3rd AT lottery is won in the normal state, or if the 1st AT lottery is won in the CZ state, the AT preparation state continues until 5 games have passed. control, and then control to the AT state. In the AT preparation state, the degree of advantage of the AT state, such as the number of subsequent AT state games and the continuation rate, is determined. Further, when the main control unit 41 determines that the AT state is not won in the first game in the AT preparation state, that is, when the second AT lottery or the third AT lottery in the normal state is not won, the game , the AT preparation state is ended, and the advantageous section is also ended to shift to the normal section.

Further, when the AT state is won, the main control unit 41 controls to the AT state after the AT preparation state ends. After the AT state ends, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section and shifts to the normal section.

[Regarding advantageous section transition processing]
Next, the advantageous section transition processing performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIG. The advantageous section transition process is a process performed after the internal lottery process, and is performed every game.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the advantageous interval transition process, first, the advantageous interval flag is checked, and it is determined whether or not the current game interval is in the advantageous interval (Sc1). If it is determined in Sc1 that it is not in the advantageous section, it is determined whether or not the flag for transition to the advantageous section is 0 (Sc2). If it is determined in Sc2 that the flag for the transition to the advantageous section is 0, that is, if the advantageous section transition combination has not been won, the advantageous section transition processing is terminated. Further, when it is determined in Sc2 that the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is not 0, that is, when the advantageous section transitioning combination is won, the during-advantage-section flag is set in the RAM 41c (Sc3). As a result, the next game is controlled to the advantageous section.

After Sc3, a state lottery at the time of transition is performed to select any one advantageous section state from the normal state, CZ state, and AT state (Sc4). In the transition state lottery, one of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is selected with a probability corresponding to the advantageous section transition flag in the game. At this time, common lottery processing is performed using a common lottery table in which winning probabilities of the normal state, CZ state, and AT state are determined according to the flag for transition to the advantageous section, regardless of the game state. Then, the state of the advantageous section won in the transition state lottery is provisionally set in the RAM 41c (Sc5). When the AT state is won, an AT winning flag indicating that the AT preparation state and the AT state are won is provisionally set in the RAM 41c. Next, an advantageous interval transition flag indicating that the vehicle has transitioned to an advantageous interval is set in the RAM 41c (Sc6), and the advantageous interval transition processing is terminated.

Also, if it is determined in Sc1 that it is in the advantageous section, it is checked whether or not the advantageous section shift flag is set, and it is determined whether or not it is the first game in the advantageous section (Sc7). If it is determined in Sc7 that it is not the first game in the advantageous section, the advantageous section transition processing is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in Sc7 that it is the first game in the advantageous zone, it is determined whether or not the current game state is the normal game state (not inside) (Sc8).

When it is determined in Sc8 that the current game state is the normal game state (non-internal), the advantageous interval state provisionally set in the RAM 41c is rewritten to the normal state (Sc9). At this time, since the area of the AT winning flag is also cleared, when the AT winning flag is provisionally set, the AT winning flag is also cleared. As a result, the normal state is determined as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section regardless of the result of the transition state flag. On the other hand, when it is determined in Sc8 that the current game state is not the normal game state (non-internal), the advantageous interval state provisionally set in the RAM 41c is maintained, and if the AT winning flag is provisionally set, , the AT winning flag is also maintained. As a result, the advantageous section state corresponding to the result of the transition state lottery is determined as the advantageous section state of the relevant advantageous section. After that, the advantageous section transition flag is cleared (Sc10), and the advantageous section transition processing ends.

In this way, in the advantageous section transition process, when the advantageous section transition hand is won in the normal section, the transition state lottery is performed in the game, and the advantageous section state selected in the transition state lottery starts from the next game. In the first game of the advantageous interval, the advantageous interval state of the advantageous interval is determined according to the game state in the game. At this time, if the first game of the advantageous section is not in the normal game state (non-internal), it is selected in the state lottery at the time of transition, and the provisionally set advantageous section state is determined as the advantageous section state of the relevant advantageous section. On the other hand, if the first game of the advantageous section is in the normal game state (non-internal), the normal section will be uniformly determined as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section regardless of the result of the state lottery at the time of transition. ing.

[Regarding status lottery at the time of transition]
Next, the transition state lottery will be described. In the state lottery at the time of transition, one of the normal state, the CZ state and the AT state is selected with a probability corresponding to the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition hand won in the normal section. Here, a first form and a second form having different selection rates for advantageous section states will be described.

[Regarding the state lottery at the time of transition to the first form]
The transition state lottery of the first form will be described with reference to FIG. 10 .

As shown in FIG. 10, in the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form, when the advantageous interval transition flag corresponding to the advantageous interval transition win won in the normal interval is any one of 1 to 3, that is, the advantageous interval transition win is winning only the general combination in the normal game state (non-internal) or in the normal game state (internal) (see FIG. 5), either the CZ state or the AT state is selected. In particular, in the case of the advantageous interval transition flag 1 corresponding to the advantageous interval transition hand with a relatively high winning probability, the CZ state is selected with a probability of 95%, and the AT state is selected with a probability of 5%. On the other hand, in the case of the advantageous interval transition flags 2 and 3 corresponding to the advantageous interval transition combination with a relatively low winning probability, the AT state is selected with a higher probability than in the case of the advantageous interval transition flag 1. In particular, in the case of the advantageous interval transition flag 3 corresponding to an advantageous interval transition combination with a low winning probability, the AT state is selected with a probability of 100%.

In addition, when the advantageous interval transition flag corresponding to the advantageous interval transition winning combination won in the normal interval is 4, that is, the advantageous interval transition winning combination is the simultaneous winning of the general winning combination and the special winning combination in the normal game state (non-inside). case (see FIG. 5), the normal state is selected with a probability of 100%.

As described above, in the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form, if the game state is the normal game state (internal) in the normal section, the general role and the special role are not simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition role. Since the zone transition flag will never be 4 and the advantageous zone transition flag will always be one of 1 to 3, either the CZ state or the AT state will always be won by state lottery at the time of transition. Also, as described above, if the normal game state (internal) is reached in the first game of the advantageous interval, the advantageous interval state selected in the transition state lottery is maintained without being rewritten to the normal state. Therefore, when the CZ state is won by the transition state lottery, the CZ state is provisionally set as shown in FIG. CZ state is determined as the advantageous interval state of . Further, when the AT state is won by the transition state lottery, the AT preparation state is provisionally set as shown in FIG. The AT ready state is determined as the advantageous section state of the section. At the same time, since the AT winning flag is set, after the AT preparation state is finished, the AT state is controlled.

In addition, in this embodiment, except for immediately after the setting value is changed, it is controlled to the normal game state (during the internal state), and when the AT state is changed to the normal section after the end of the AT state, the AT If you do not win the state and shift to the normal section due to the end of the AT preparation state, if you win the advantageous section transition role and shift to the advantageous section, the transition to the CZ state or AT state will always occur. It will be controlled to the determined AT preparation state. As a result, even after the end of the AT state or when the AT state is not won in the normal state, the player can be expected to be controlled to the AT state thereafter.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the main control unit 41 initializes the information about the game section along with the transition to the setting change state. By performing, it is possible to end the advantageous section and control the normal section. In such a configuration, when the game state is maintained due to the transition to the setting change state, the normal game state (internal) is also maintained, so the control to the normal section is performed along with the change operation of the setting value Then, when the transition is made to the advantageous section after that, the state is controlled to the CZ state or the AT state, so that an advantageous situation can be provided to the player along with the change of the set value.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, along with the transition to the setting change state, by initializing not only the information regarding the game section but also the information regarding the game state, control is then performed to the normal game state (non-internal). In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, even if the advantageous section transition hand is won in the normal section, the CZ state or the AT state is won in the state lottery at the time of transition, and the CZ state or the AT preparation state is provisionally set, the advantageous section transition hand is won. The game state is confirmed in the first game of the section, and if the game state is the normal game state (non-internal), the temporarily set advantageous section state is uniformly rewritten to the normal state, and the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is restored. becomes normal

In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, in the normal section and in the normal game state (non-inside), the advantageous section transition hand is won, and the CZ state or AT state is won in the state lottery at the time of transition, and the CZ state or AT preparation state is won. is temporarily set, even if BB wins in the first game of the advantageous section and shifts to the normal game state (during internal), the first game of the advantageous section will be in the normal game state (non-internal) , the temporarily set advantageous section state is rewritten to the normal state, and the advantageous section state of the relevant advantageous section becomes the normal state.

Therefore, even if the advantageous section is terminated by the operation of changing the set value, the situation is prevented from becoming advantageous for the player.

Also, as shown in FIG. 15, in the normal section and in the normal game state (non-inside), when the general role and BB are simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition role, the first game of the advantageous section is in the normal game state ( In the state lottery at the time of transition, the provisionally set advantageous interval state will be maintained. In the case of simultaneous winning of the general role and the special role in), the normal state is selected with a probability of 100%, and even in this case, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section will be the normal state. Therefore, even if the advantageous section is ended by the setting value change operation, the situation is prevented from becoming advantageous for the player.

In this embodiment, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is determined based on the game state of the first game of the advantageous section. If it is internal), it is uniformly set to normal state, and if it is a normal game state (internal), it is also possible to determine the advantageous section state of the advantageous section based on the result of the internal lottery of the first game of the advantageous section. be done. However, in the case of such a configuration, when BB is won as an advantageous section transition hand in the normal section, and the next game is shifted to the advantageous section, and the normal game state (internal) is controlled, the setting is performed. Even after changing the value, it will be controlled to the CZ state or the AT preparation state.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when an advantageous zone transition combination is won in a normal section as described above, the advantageous zone state corresponding to the advantageous zone transition combination is provisionally set, and the game state of the first advantageous section game is set. If is normal game state (non-internal), it will be uniformly set to normal state, and if the game state of the first game of the advantageous interval is normal game state (internal), according to the advantageous interval transition hand won in the normal interval Although the advantageous section state is maintained, if the advantageous section transition role won in the normal section is elected at the same time as the general role and the special role by the state lottery at the time of transition in the first form, the normal state with a probability of 100% is provisionally set, and after that, even if the advantageous interval state is maintained, the advantageous interval state of the advantageous interval becomes the normal state. , and even if the game is controlled to the normal game state (during the internal state), the situation is prevented from becoming advantageous for the player.

[Regarding the production mode when transitioning to the advantageous section]
Next, a description will be given of an effect mode when shifting to an advantageous section.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, when the game section on the main control section 41 side is the normal section and the game state is the normal game state (internal), that is, in the subsequent advantageous section When controlled to the CZ state or the AT preparation state, the CZ preparation effect is executed. The CZ preparation effect is a different form of effect from the normal effect mainly executed in the normal state. In such a situation, when the advantageous section transition hand is won and the CZ state is won in the state lottery at the time of transition and is controlled to the CZ state, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the CZ performance is started, and the CZ performance peculiar to the CZ state is executed during the period controlled in the CZ state. In addition, when the advantageous section transition hand is won and the AT state is won in the state lottery at the time of transition, and the AT state is controlled to the AT preparation state, as shown in FIG. A preparation performance is started, and the AT preparation performance is executed over a period controlled to the AT preparation state. The AT preparation effect is a different effect from the normal effect and the CZ preparation effect, and is an effect suggesting that the player is waiting for the start of the AT state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the sub control unit 91 changes the setting value on the main control unit 41 side, the game section is the normal section, and the game state is the normal game state (non-internal). In some cases, that is, when the normal state is controlled in the subsequent advantageous section, a normal effect common to the normal state is executed. In such a situation, when the advantageous section transition combination is won and the game is controlled to the normal state, the normal performance is continuously executed.

Thus, in this embodiment, when the game state is the normal game state (inside) in the normal section, that is, when controlled to the CZ state or the AT preparation state in the subsequent advantageous section, the CZ preparation effect is executed. On the other hand, when the game state is the normal game state (non-internal) in the normal section, that is, when it is controlled to the normal state in the subsequent advantageous section, the normal effect different from the CZ preparation effect is executed. It's like

In addition, the normal effect is executed in the normal state in the advantageous section, the CZ effect is executed in the CZ state in the advantageous section, and when the game state is the normal game state (non-internal) in the normal section, that is, the subsequent advantageous When the control is to be in the normal state in the section, the normal effect common to the normal state is executed, and furthermore, in such a situation, when the advantageous section transition hand is won and the control is to be in the normal state. , the normal production continues to be executed.

[Regarding the status lottery at the time of transition to the second form]
The transition state lottery of the second form will be described with reference to FIG. 16 .

As shown in FIG. 16, in the state lottery at the time of transition of the second form, when the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition hand won in the normal section is any one of 1 to 3, that is, the advantageous section transition hand When is winning only general combination in normal game state (non-internal) or normal game state (internal) (see FIG. 5), the point that either CZ state or AT state is selected is the first This is common with the status lottery at the time of transition of form.

On the other hand, if the advantageous interval transition flag corresponding to the advantageous interval transition winning combination won in the normal interval is 4, that is, the advantageous interval transition winning combination is a general winning combination and a special winning combination in the normal game state (non-inside). In this case (see FIG. 5), the CZ state is selected with a probability of 100%.

In the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form, if the advantageous section transition role is simultaneous winning of the general role and the special role in the normal game state (non-inside), the normal state is selected with a probability of 100%. , and the advantageous interval state of the advantageous interval was configured to be the normal state, but in the state lottery at the time of transition of the second form, the advantageous interval transition hand is a general hand in the normal game state (non-internal). In the case of simultaneous winning of special roles, the CZ state is selected with a probability of 100%. For this reason, in the normal section and in the normal game state (non-inside), if only the general role is won as the advantageous section transition role, in the first game of the advantageous section, the advantageous section state is rewritten to the normal state. , While the advantageous interval state of the advantageous interval becomes the normal state, only when the general role and BB are simultaneously elected as the advantageous interval transition role in the normal interval and in the normal game state (non-internal), as shown in FIG. Thus, by maintaining the advantageous interval state in the first game of the advantageous interval, the advantageous interval state of the advantageous interval becomes the CZ state.

As described above, in the state lottery at the time of transition of the second form, in the normal section and in the normal game state (non-inside), when the general role and BB are simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition role in the normal game state (non-inside), it is controlled to the CZ state. Even if the setting value is changed to the normal section, it may be controlled to the CZ state in the subsequent advantageous section, so even after the setting value is changed, the CZ state You can expect it to be controlled.

Also, in this embodiment, BB always wins at the same time as the winning combination B. In this case, the reels are stopped when the winning combination B+BB wins and when the winning combination B wins alone. The control is common, and when the stop operation is performed in the same order of stop operation and at the same timing, a common display result is derived, and the case where the winning combination B+BB is won and the case where the winning combination B is won are derived. , can not be determined. For this reason, even if both B and BB are won at the same time after changing the set value, it is not possible to distinguish the difference from the single winning of B, from the display results. Even in the event that B wins alone and moves to the advantageous section, it can be expected to be controlled to the CZ state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, when the setting value is changed on the main control unit 41 side, the game section is the normal section, and the game state is the normal game state (non-internal), That is, when there is a high possibility of being controlled to the normal state in the subsequent advantageous section, the normal performance common to the normal state is executed. In such a situation, when BB and the winning combination B are simultaneously won as the advantageous section transition hand and the control is made to the CZ state in the advantageous section, the normal presentation is executed instead of the CZ presentation. As a result, after the setting value is changed, in the case where the winning hand B is solely won as the advantageous section transition hand, and the control is performed in the normal state in the advantageous section, and in the case where BB and the winning hand B are simultaneously won as the advantageous section transition hand. , Since it is not possible to distinguish between the case of being controlled to the CZ state in the advantageous section and the difference, it is possible to predict that the control to the CZ state will be performed even in the case of shifting to the advantageous section due to the single winning of the winning hand B after changing the set value. can be expected.

[Regarding normal flow]
In a normal state, the main control unit 41 performs the periodic game that continues until the number of periodic games is reached, and wins the end lottery that is performed at the start of the periodic game, or the number of periodic games (the number of laps) reaches the ceiling value (the number of laps). In the example, when 6) is reached and the periodic game ends, the normal state is terminated.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, the main control unit 41 performs the periodic game after shifting to the normal state. In the periodic game, a periodic game number lottery is performed to determine the periodic game number in the first game (S1), and the winning periodic game number is set (S2). In the periodic game number lottery, one range is selected from multiple game number ranges with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery of the game, and the selected game number range , is determined as the periodic game number.

Next, when the number of laps after the start of the normal state has not reached the ceiling value (S3: N), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to end the normal state in the periodic game. A lottery is conducted (S4). In the termination lottery, it is determined whether or not the regular state is terminated in the periodic game with a probability corresponding to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery of the game.

Then, when the number of laps after the start of the normal state has reached the ceiling value (S3: Y), or when the ending lottery is won (S5: Y), the main control unit 41 is set to indicate that the normal state is terminated (S6).

After that, the main control unit 41 controls the AT state every time the target combination (lottery target with lottery flag other than 0) is won (S7: Y) until the number of periodic games set during the periodic game is reached. A second AT lottery (S8) for determining whether or not to play, and a point lottery (S9) for awarding points are performed.

In the second AT lottery, whether or not to control to the AT state is determined with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery. An AT win flag indicating that is set. In addition, even if the AT winning flag is set, it will not be controlled to the AT state at that time, and after that, after the normal state ends by winning the end lottery or the number of laps reaches the ceiling value, It will be controlled to the AT state.

In the point lottery, one point value is selected from multiple types of point values (including 0) with a probability corresponding to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery, and the selected point value is awarded. be done. The given point value is maintained even when the number of periodic games is reached and the periodic game ends, and is initialized when the normal state ends and the advantageous section ends.

When the periodic game ends (S10: Y) and the end flag is not set (S11: N), the main control unit 41 returns to S1 and restarts the periodic game. On the other hand, when the periodic game ends (S10: Y) and the end flag is set (S11: Y), a third AT lottery is conducted to determine whether or not to control to the AT state (S12).

In the 3rd AT lottery, whether or not to control to the AT state is determined with a probability according to the point value accumulated in the normal state, especially with a higher probability as the point value increases, and it is decided to control to the AT state. In this case, an AT win flag is set to indicate that. As described above, the point value given in the point lottery is maintained over the period in which the normal state continues, so the longer the period of control in the normal state, the more the AT state is controlled in the third AT lottery. is easier to determine.

After the 3rd AT lottery, the main control unit 41 terminates the normal state and controls to the AT preparation state, and if the AT winning flag is set in the normal state, then the advantageous section continues. , the AT state, and when the AT winning flag is not set, the advantageous section is terminated and the normal section is entered.

In this manner, in the normal state, the periodic game continues until the number of periodic games is reached, and the periodic game ends when the end lottery at the start of the periodic game is won or the number of laps reaches the ceiling value. This ends the normal state.

In addition, in the periodic game, the second AT lottery is performed when the target role is won, and the third AT lottery is performed when the normal state ends. After the end of the state, it is controlled to the AT state through the AT preparation state.

In the second AT lottery, it is determined whether or not the AT state is controlled with a probability according to the result of the internal lottery when the target role is won in the periodic game, and in the third AT lottery, the target role in the periodic game is determined. Since it is determined whether or not to be controlled to the AT state with a probability according to the point value given according to the result of the internal lottery when winning the lottery, depending on the result of the game in the normal state, the normal After the state ends, the rate of control to the AT state will change.

In addition, in the normal state, the sub-control unit 91 can execute an AT winning suggestion effect that suggests the possibility that the AT state has won when the second AT lottery is held. The AT winning suggestion effect consists of multiple types of patterns, and the selection rate differs depending on whether or not the AT state has been won. This suggests the possibility of being controlled to the AT state after the end of the normal state.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can execute an item effect of displaying an item indicating that there is a high possibility of being controlled to the AT state when the periodic game ends. The item effect is executed at a higher rate when the AT state is won than when the AT state is not won, and when the point value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is executed more often than when the point value is less than the predetermined value. It is possible to expect that the player will be controlled to the AT state after the end of the normal state by executing the item effect. In addition, as described above, even if the AT state is won, the AT state is not controlled until the normal state ends. can motivate you to do so.

[Regarding the normal state and the effect at the end of the normal state]
The main control unit 41 performs control to the periodic game as described above when the normal state is controlled in the advantageous section.

Further, in the periodic game, the sub-control unit 91 executes the normal effect until the number of remaining games of the periodic game reaches the predetermined number of games (5 games). When this is the case, the possibility of the normal state ending is suggested over the game in which the periodic game ends, and the continuous performance leading to the performance result indicating whether or not the normal state finally ends is executed.

As shown in FIG. 19, if the end flag is not set at the end of the periodic game, the main control unit 41 controls the periodic game again while continuing the normal state and the advantageous interval.

At this time, when the number of remaining periodic games reaches a predetermined number of games (5 games), the sub-control unit 91 performs a continuous effect (failure) that ultimately leads to a effect indicating that the normal state will not end. After that, the normal effect is executed again from the game where the next periodic game starts.

As shown in FIG. 20, when the end flag is set at the end of the periodic game and the AT winning flag is set in the normal state, the main control unit 41 controls the AT preparation state over five games. After that, the AT state is controlled while continuing the advantageous section.

At this time, when the number of remaining periodic games reaches a predetermined number of games (five games), the sub-control unit 91 performs a continuous effect (success) that leads to a result of effect indicating that the normal state is finally terminated. After that, in the first game in the AT preparation state, a roulette effect ( AT). After that, the AT preparation performance is executed until the AT preparation state ends, and the AT performance is executed when the AT state starts.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the end flag is set at the end of the periodic game and the AT win flag is not set in the normal state, the main control unit 41 sets the AT preparation state for only one game. control, and then terminate the advantageous section. Then, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section again when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, and accordingly controls to the CZ state.

At this time, when the number of remaining periodic games reaches a predetermined number of games (five games), the sub-control unit 91 performs a continuous effect (success) that leads to a result of effect indicating that the normal state is finally terminated. After that, in the first game in the AT preparation state, a roulette effect ( CZ). After that, the CZ preparation performance is executed in the normal section until shifting to the advantageous section, and the CZ performance is executed by shifting to the advantageous section and starting the CZ state.

As shown in FIG. 22, the main control unit 41 is controlled to the CZ state in the advantageous section, and if the AT state is won in the CZ state, the CZ state is continued until a predetermined number of games (5 games) elapse. , the AT preparation state is controlled over five games, and then the AT state is controlled while continuing the advantageous section.

At this time, when the AT state is won, the sub-control unit 91 executes continuous performance (success) leading to a performance result indicating that the AT state is finally controlled, and then the AT preparation state ends. The AT preparation performance is executed until the AT state starts, and the AT performance is executed.

In this way, the main control unit 41 sets the end flag at the end of the periodic game, and when the normal state ends, if the AT state is won in the normal state, after that, the AT state for 5 games After controlling to the preparation state, the AT state is controlled while the advantageous section is continued, and if the AT state is not won in the normal state, after that, the AT preparation state is controlled for one game, and then the AT state is controlled to the AT state. By ending the section, shifting to the normal section, and then shifting to the advantageous section again, the CZ state is controlled.

Further, when the periodic game ends in the normal state, the sub-control unit 91 indicates the possibility of the normal state ending a predetermined number of games before the periodic game ends, and finally the normal state ends. A continuous performance is executed that leads to a performance result indicating whether or not to perform.

In addition, after the normal state ends, the sub-control unit 91 controls either the AT state or the CZ state in the first game in the AT preparation state, which is controlled regardless of whether the AT state is won or not. A roulette effect is executed to suggest that the player will be controlled to the CZ state or finally control to the AT state.

The continuous effect is executed over five games until the end of the periodic game, whereas the roulette effect ends in the first game in the AT preparation state after the end of the normal state, that is, in one game. That is, in the roulette effect, the possibility that the normal state will end in the continuous effect is suggested, and after suggesting that the effect is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state in a period shorter than the period during which the effect result is derived, the effect It is designed to lead to results.

In addition, the main control unit 41 controls the AT preparation period for one game and then terminates the advantageous section, even if the advantageous section is to be ended without being controlled to the AT state after the normal state is completed. During this period, the control is made to the advantageous section, and the section display LED 19 is lit. Therefore, after the normal state ends, until the next game ends, it is not possible to determine whether the advantageous section continues to be controlled to the AT state or whether the advantageous section ends without being controlled to the AT state. It's like

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not control to the AT state even when the advantageous section is continued to be controlled to the AT state after deriving the effect result that the normal state ends in the continuous production, and the advantageous section is not controlled to the AT state. , a roulette performance suggesting that the AT preparation period in which the advantageous section continues is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state is executed, and if the AT state is controlled, the roulette In the production, the production result to that effect is derived.

For this reason, after the normal state ends and it is notified that the normal effect ends in the continuous effect, until it is notified whether or not to be controlled to the AT state by the roulette effect in the AT preparation period, the advantageous section is It continues, and from the lighting mode of the section display LED 19, it cannot be determined whether the advantageous section will continue to be controlled to the AT state or will not be controlled to the AT state and the advantageous section will end, and it will be controlled to the AT state. can be expected.

In addition, the main control unit 41, when winning the AT state in the normal state and then being controlled to the AT state, also when winning the AT state in the CZ state and then being controlled to the AT state, After controlling to the AT preparation state for 5 games, control to the AT state. That is, in either case, common control is used to control the state to the AT state.

On the other hand, when the AT state is won in the normal state, the sub-control unit 91 executes the roulette effect in the first game in the AT preparation state controlled after the end of the normal state, and controls to the AT state with the roulette effect. After notifying that the AT state is to be won, the AT preparation state performance is executed until the AT preparation state ends, and then the AT performance is executed as the AT state starts, whereas when the AT state is won in the CZ state. 2, the AT preparation state performance is executed from the first game in the AT preparation state controlled after the end of the CZ state to the end of the AT preparation state, and then the AT performance is executed as the AT state starts. That is, the performance mode until the AT state starts differs between when the AT state is won in the normal state and when the AT state is won in the CZ state.

[About RT]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control a plurality of types of replay times (RTs) that differ in at least one of the type of replay role to be selected by the internal lottery and the winning probability of the replay role.

As shown in FIG. 23, RT includes RT0 and RT1. RT0 is a state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by setting a new setting value by shifting to a setting change state, or after being controlled to RT1, 200 games are completed and RT1 is finished. controlled when RT0 is a normal game state (non-internal), and ends when a predetermined RT transition result stops on the winning line LN, and shifts to RT1. In addition, even when the RT transition result stops on the winning line LN, RT0 is maintained in the case of the normal game state (internal) or the special game state.

The RT transition result may be, for example, a symbol combination in which no combination is won, a symbol combination in which any combination is won, or may include a plurality of types of symbol combinations.

RT1 is controlled when RT0 is in a normal game state (non-internal) and a predetermined RT transition result stops on the winning line LN. RT1 ends when 200 games are played after transitioning to RT1, and transitions to RT0.

At the end of the game, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub-control unit 91 a command that can specify whether the next game is RT0 or RT1 for each game. The sub control unit 91 can specify whether the main control unit 41 side is controlled to RT0 or RT1 for each game.

For RT0 and RT1, as shown in FIG. 24, the probability that the AT state is selected in the state lottery at the time of transition by the main control unit 41 (AT probability at the time of transition to the advantageous section), the winning probability of the end lottery in the normal state (end lottery probability), and the probability that control to the AT state is determined in the 3rd AT lottery (3rd AT lottery probability) are different. The probability that the number of periodic games is selected in the periodic game number lottery by the main control unit 41, the probability that it is determined to control to the AT state in the first AT lottery and the second AT lottery, and the probability of winning a minor combination in the internal lottery are as follows. It is common to RT0 and RT1.

The probability that the AT state is selected by state lottery at the time of transition at RT1 is set higher than the probability that the AT state is selected by the state lottery at the time of transition at RT0, and the termination of the normal state is won by the end lottery at RT1. The probability is set higher than the probability of winning the end of the normal state by the end lottery at RT0, and the probability of winning the control to the AT state by the 3rd AT lottery at RT1 is the AT state by the 3rd AT lottery at RT0. is set to be higher than the probability of winning, and the medal payout rate (number of awarded medals / number of used medals) when controlled to RT0 is 97% according to the set value. 110%, and the payout rate of medals when controlled to RT1 is 98% to 120% depending on the set value. That is, the player is more advantageous when controlled by RT1 than when controlled by RT0.

In addition, the difference between the advantage when controlled to RT0 and the advantage when controlled to RT1 according to the set value is different, and the more advantageous the set value is for the player, the more favorable the set value is. It is set so that the difference between the advantage when controlled by RT0 and the advantage when controlled by RT1 is large.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 24, RT0 and RT1 are different in the execution probability (setting suggestion) of the setting suggestion effect by the sub-controller 91 . The setting suggesting effect is a effect suggesting a setting value set on the main control unit 41 side, a effect suggesting the possibility of a specific setting value, and whether the setting value is an odd number or an even number. Including effects that suggest, effects that suggest whether or not the set value is an advantageous setting, and the like. Incidentally, the content of the performance performed by the sub-control part 91 is common to RT0 and RT1, and it is difficult to perceive whether it is controlled by RT0 or RT1 from the difference in performance.

The probability that the setting suggestion effect is executed in RT1 is set higher than the probability that the setting suggestion effect is executed in RT0, and the case of being controlled to RT1 is higher than the case of being controlled to RT0. Setting values are easy to guess.

In addition, the setting suggesting effect includes a 6-definite effect in which it is determined that the setting value 6, which has the highest degree of advantage, is determined, and the 6-definite effect is not executed when it is controlled by RT0, but is controlled by RT1. is executed only if

[Effect 1]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 converts the winning numbers set according to the results of the internal lottery into advantageous section transition flags and lottery flags less than the number of types of winning numbers. With such a configuration, the winning number set according to the result of the internal lottery is converted into the advantageous section transition flags and the lottery flags, which are less in number than the number of types of winning numbers. Since the data corresponding to the lottery flag is not required for each winning number, the amount of data corresponding to the result of the internal lottery can be reduced.

In this embodiment, when the winning number is a winning number other than the advantageous section transition hand, the main control unit 41 converts the advantageous section transition flag to 0, and a special game state in which transition to the advantageous section is not performed. , the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number, and if the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is 0, the transition to the advantageous section is not performed. With such a configuration, when a winning number that does not transition to the advantageous section is set based on the result of the internal lottery, the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is converted to 0, so each type of winning number It is possible to specify that the transition to the advantageous section is not to be performed when the flag for transition to the advantageous section is 0 without associating information indicating whether or not to transition to the advantageous section. Further, when the special game state is controlled in which the transition to the advantageous section does not occur, regardless of the type of the winning number, the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is converted to 0, so whether or not the special game state is determined. It is possible to specify that the transition to the advantageous section is not to be performed when the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is 0 without determination.

In this embodiment, in the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal), the condition for starting the game is only 3 bets. In a configuration that allows a player to select the number of bets and start the game, if the game starts with a specific number of bets, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, it may be configured not to move to the advantageous section. good. In such a configuration, when a game is started with a specific number of bets, regardless of the type of winning number, the flag for transitioning to an advantageous interval is converted to 0, and when the flag for transitioning to an advantageous interval is 0, By adopting a configuration that does not shift to the advantageous section, when a game is played with a bet number that does not shift to the advantageous section, regardless of the type of the winning number, the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section is converted to 0. Therefore, it is possible to specify that the transition to the advantageous interval is not to be performed when the advantageous interval transition flag is 0 without determining whether or not the game is being played with a specific number of bets.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 converts the lottery flag to 0 when the winning number is a winning number that is not subject to the lottery related to the granting of AT, and the lottery related to the granting of AT. is controlled to a special game state in which is not performed, regardless of the type of winning number, the lottery flag is converted to 0, and when the lottery flag is 0, a lottery related to giving AT is performed. It is a configuration without With such a configuration, when a winning number that is not subject to a lottery related to the granting of AT is set based on the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flag is changed to 0, so that the lottery number can be determined. If the lottery flag is 0, it is possible to specify that the lottery related to the granting of AT will not be performed without associating the information as to whether or not the lottery related to the granting of AT will be conducted for each type. becomes. Further, when the control is in a special game state in which a lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed, the lottery flag is converted to 0 regardless of the type of the winning number, so whether or not the special game state exists. , it is possible to specify that the lottery related to the awarding of AT is not performed when the lottery flag is 0.

In addition, in the configuration in which the player can start the game by selecting any number of bets from a plurality of bets as described above, when the game starts with a specific number of bets, internal lottery Regardless of the result, a configuration may be adopted in which a lottery related to giving AT is not performed. In such a configuration, when the game is started with a specific number of bets, regardless of the type of winning number, the lottery flag is converted to 0, and when the lottery flag is 0, AT is given. By adopting a configuration in which no related lottery is performed, when a game is played with a bet amount that does not involve a lottery related to the granting of AT, the lottery flag will be displayed regardless of the type of winning number. Since it is converted to 0, it is specified that the lottery related to the awarding of AT will not be performed when the lottery flag is 0 without judging whether or not the game is being played with a specific number of bets. becomes possible.

In this embodiment, the flag for transitioning to the advantageous section determines whether or not it is an advantageous section transition. The lottery flag is used for multiple processes such as the lottery that is performed at times, and the lottery flag is used for multiple lotteries related to the granting of AT (periodic game number lottery, end lottery, 1st AT lottery, 2nd AT lottery, point lottery). This is the configuration used. With such a configuration, data corresponding to each internal lottery result is not required for a plurality of processes, so the data amount of data corresponding to the internal lottery result can be reduced.

In this embodiment, after the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 performs the advantageous section transition flag conversion process for each game, converts the winning number into the advantageous section transition flag, and performs the lottery flag conversion process. It is the structure which goes and converts a winning number into a lottery flag. By adopting such a configuration, it is common regardless of whether there is a possibility of shifting to an advantageous section or whether there is a possibility of a lottery related to the granting of AT. In the process of 1), an appropriate advantageous section transition flag and lottery flag can be obtained in any state.

In this embodiment, the winning number is converted into both the flag for transitioning to the advantageous interval and the flag for the lottery for each game. In the case of a normal section in which a related lottery is not performed, an advantageous section transition flag conversion process is performed to convert a winning number into an advantageous section transition flag so that there is no possibility of shifting to an advantageous section, and AT. If it is an advantageous section in which a lottery related to the granting of is likely to be performed, the lottery flag conversion process may be performed to convert the winning number into a lottery flag. , Whether there is a possibility of shifting to an advantageous section or a state where a lottery related to the granting of AT is likely to be performed. Can be converted to flags.

In this embodiment, regardless of whether the main control unit 41 is in the normal game state (non-internal) or in the normal game state (internal), the common advantageous section transition flag conversion table is used to By performing common advantageous section transition flag conversion processing, the winning number is converted into an advantageous section transition flag, and whether the game is in a normal game state (non-internal) or a normal game state (internal), Regardless, the winning number is converted into a lottery flag by performing a common lottery flag conversion process using a common lottery flag conversion table. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to convert the winning number into the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag by common conversion processing even if the lottery targets of the internal lottery are different game states.

[Effect 2]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control the game state between the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal), and can control the game section into the normal section and the advantageous section, Control is possible in a plurality of advantageous section states including a normal state, a CZ state, and an AT state in the advantageous section. In addition, the main control unit 41 shifts to a setting change state through a setting value change operation, thereby setting a new setting value, thereby terminating the advantageous section and shifting to a normal section. In addition, in the normal game state (non-internal), the internal lottery selects the pushing order B + BB that can shift to the normal game state (internal) and the pushing order B that cannot shift to the normal game state (internal). Included in the lottery target, in the normal game state (internal), the winning combination B+BB is not included in the internal lottery lottery target, and the pushing order combination B is included in the internal lottery lottery target, and the main control unit 41 performs the normal section. In the internal lottery, both when the winning combination B+BB is won and when the winning combination B is won, the section is shifted to the advantageous section.

Then, the main control unit 41 initializes not only the information about the game interval but also the information about the game state in accordance with the transition to the setting change state by the setting value change operation, thereby changing the game state to the normal game state. (during non-internal), and in the normal game state (during non-internal), the winning hand B is won in the internal lottery, and when it is shifted to the advantageous section, it is relatively higher than the CZ state in the advantageous section state. Control is performed in a disadvantageous normal state, and when the winning hand B is won in an internal lottery in the normal game state (internal) and the game is shifted to an advantageous section, control is not performed in the normal state, and the game is out of the advantageous section state. This configuration controls to either the CZ state or the AT state, which is relatively more advantageous than the normal state.

By adopting such a configuration, in the normal game state (inside), when the pushing order B is won in the internal lottery and the transition is made to the advantageous section, the advantageous section is not controlled to the normal state. Since the state is controlled to the CZ state or the AT state, which is relatively more advantageous than the normal state, it is possible to increase interest when the normal section is shifted to the advantageous section. In addition, in the normal game state (non-internal), which is controlled when the advantageous section is terminated in accordance with the setting value change operation, the winning order B is won in the internal lottery, and the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. In this case, control is performed to the normal state, so that it is possible to prevent the operation of changing the set value from becoming advantageous.

In this embodiment, in the normal game state (inside), when the winning hand B is won in the internal lottery and the transition is made to the advantageous section, control is not performed to the normal state. It is a configuration that controls to the CZ state or AT state, which is relatively more advantageous than the state, but when the pushing order B is won in the internal lottery in the normal game state (internal) and is shifted to the advantageous section, normally Although it can be controlled to the state, even if the ratio of being controlled to the CZ state or the AT state is higher than the normal state, it is possible to increase the interest when the normal section shifts to the advantageous section.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the normal game state (non-internal), when the pushing order B is elected by the internal lottery and it is shifted to the advantageous section, the advantageous section is not controlled to the CZ state or AT state. Of the states, it is configured to control to the normal state, which is relatively more disadvantageous than the CZ state. , can be controlled to the CZ state or the AT state, but even if the ratio of being controlled to the normal state is higher than the CZ state or the AT state, when the advantageous section is terminated according to the setting value change operation In the normal game state (non-internal) to be controlled, when the push order B is elected in the internal lottery and the normal section is shifted to the advantageous section, the ratio of being controlled to the normal state is high, so the set value It is possible to prevent the change operation from becoming advantageous.

In this embodiment, in the normal game state (non-internal), if the winning hand B + BB is won in the internal lottery and the transition to the advantageous section is made, the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form has a 100% probability of being in the normal state. It is a configuration controlled by With such a configuration, in the normal game state (non-internal) controlled when the advantageous section is terminated according to the change operation of the set value, the winning hand B is won by the internal lottery. Not only when transitioning from a normal section to an advantageous section, but also when pushing forward B + BB is won in the internal lottery and moving from a normal section to an advantageous section, the normal state will be 100% by the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form. Since it is selected with a probability of , it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed.

In the present embodiment, when the winning hand B+BB is won in the internal lottery in the normal game state (non-internal) and the game shifts to the advantageous section, it is controlled to the normal state with a probability of 100%. , In the normal game state (non-internal), when the pushing order B + BB is won in the internal lottery and it shifts to the advantageous section, it can be controlled to the CZ state or AT state, but the normal state is more important than the CZ state or AT state. Even in the case of a configuration with a high percentage of control, when the runner-up B+BB is won in the internal lottery and the normal section shifts to the advantageous section, the normal state is selected with a high probability, so the setting value change operation. It is possible to prevent it from becoming advantageous by

In addition, in the present embodiment, even if the transition to the advantageous section in the normal gaming state (non-internal), even if the transition to the advantageous section in the normal gaming state (internal), during the transition to the common first form A state lottery is performed, and one of the advantageous section states of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is selected by the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form. By adopting such a configuration, the normal state, CZ state, Since a common transition state lottery is performed when one of the states is selected from the AT states, the program capacity can be reduced.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the winning hand B+BB is won in the internal lottery and the transition to the advantageous section is made, in the state lottery at transition of the first form, the normal state is selected with a probability of 100%. . By adopting such a configuration, in the normal game state (non-internal) controlled when the advantageous section is ended according to the change operation of the set value, the winning combination B+BB is won by the internal lottery. When the normal section shifts to the advantageous section, the normal state is selected with a probability of 100%. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operation of changing the set value from becoming advantageous.

In this embodiment, in the normal game state (non-internal), if the winning hand B + BB is won in the internal lottery and the transition to the advantageous section is made, the state lottery at the time of transition of the second form has a 100% probability of being in the CZ state. It is a configuration controlled by By adopting such a configuration, in the normal game state (non-internal) controlled when the advantageous section is ended according to the change operation of the set value, the winning combination B+BB is won by the internal lottery. When moving from a normal section to an advantageous section, since it is controlled with a probability of 100% to the CZ state, it may be advantageous even by changing the setting value, so it is interesting even after changing the setting value. can be sustained.

In this embodiment, in the normal game state (non-internal), if the winning combination B+BB is won by the internal lottery and the game shifts to the advantageous section, it is controlled to the CZ state with a probability of 100%. , In the normal game state (non-internal), when the winning hand B + BB is won in the internal lottery and it shifts to the advantageous section, it can be controlled to the normal state, but it is controlled to the CZ state or AT state rather than the normal state. Even when the ratio is high, in the normal game state (non-internal) controlled when the advantageous section is ended according to the change operation of the set value, the winning combination B + BB is won in the internal lottery. When moving from a normal section to an advantageous section, it is controlled with a high probability to the CZ state or AT state, so it may be advantageous even if the setting value is changed, so it is interesting even after the setting value is changed. can be sustained.

In addition, in the present embodiment, even when the transition to the advantageous section in the normal game state (non-internal), also when the transition to the advantageous section in the normal game state (internal), during the transition of the common second form A state lottery is performed, and one of the advantageous section states of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is selected by the state lottery at the time of transition of the second mode. By adopting such a configuration, the normal state, CZ state, Since a common transition state lottery is performed when one of the states is selected from the AT states, the program capacity can be reduced.

Further, in this embodiment, when the winning hand B+BB is won in the internal lottery and the transition to the advantageous section is made, the CZ state is selected with a probability of 100% in the state lottery at the time of transition of the second form. . By adopting such a configuration, in the normal game state (non-internal) controlled when the advantageous section is ended according to the change operation of the set value, the winning combination B+BB is won by the internal lottery. When moving from the normal section to the advantageous section, the CZ state is selected with a probability of 100%, so even if the setting value change operation is performed, it may be advantageous, so the setting value change operation You can keep your interest in it.

In this embodiment, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is determined according to the game state in the first game of the advantageous section. With such a configuration, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section can be determined based on the game state of the game played during the advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, if the game state of the first game of the advantageous section is the normal game state (non-internal), the temporarily set advantageous section state is uniformly rewritten to the normal state, whereby the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is the normal state. With such a configuration, if the game state after shifting to the advantage section is the normal game state (non-internal), it is controlled to the normal state. can be prevented.

In this embodiment, when an advantageous zone transition combination is won in a normal section, the advantageous zone state is selected according to the type of the advantageous zone transition combination, and the advantageous zone state is selected according to the gaming state of the first game of the advantageous zone. However, it is also possible to select and determine the advantageous section state according to the result of the internal lottery in the first game of the advantageous section and the game state. The advantageous section state of the advantageous section can be determined based on the result of the game played during the game and the game state.

In this embodiment, the stop control of the reels is common between when the winning combination B+BB is won in the internal lottery and when the winning combination B alone is won, and the stopping operation is performed in the same order and at the same timing. In the case of being played, a common display result (major and minor wins, minor wins, losing) is derived. By adopting such a configuration, the process for deriving the display result can be shared regardless of whether the winning combination B is won in the internal lottery or the winning combination B+BB is won.

In addition, in the case of a transition from the normal section to the advantageous section due to the winning of the winning order B+BB in the internal lottery, in a configuration in which control is performed to the CZ state with a higher probability than the normal state, the transition to the advantageous section is made due to the difference in the display result. Since it is not possible to determine whether the advantageous section transition winning hand in the internal lottery is the winning hand B + BB or the winning hand B, the interest continues even after changing the setting value and after moving to the advantageous section. can be made

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91, when the game section on the main control unit 41 side is the normal section and the game state is the normal game state (inside), the normal effect that is executed mainly in the normal state A different CZ preparation effect is executed, the set value is changed on the main control unit 41 side, the game section is a normal section, and the game state is a normal game state (non-internal), common to the normal state It is a configuration for executing the normal production of. With such a configuration, when the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the normal game state (inside) in the normal section, the CZ preparation effect is executed, and the possibility of being controlled to the CZ state. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the normal game state (non-internal) in the normal section, the normal effect is executed instead of the CZ preparation effect, so the main control It is possible to prevent misunderstanding that the portion 41 side is controlled to be in an advantageous state at a high rate.

In this embodiment, the sub control unit 91 executes the normal effect when the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the normal state in the advantageous section, and when the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the CZ state in the advantageous section. , and when the main control unit 41 side is controlling the game state to the normal game state (non-internal) in the normal section, the normal effect common to the normal state is executed. With such a configuration, when the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the normal game state (non-internal) in the normal section, the same normal effect as the normal state in the advantageous section is executed, so the main control It is possible to prevent misunderstanding that the portion 41 side is controlled to the CZ state at a high rate.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control section 91 is controlled to the normal state when the advantageous section transition combination is won in a situation where the main control section 41 side is controlling the normal section and the normal game state (non-internal). is a configuration in which the normal effect is continuously executed. With such a configuration, the main control unit 41 side shifts to the advantageous section and the normal effect is continuously executed even after being controlled to the normal state, so the main control unit 41 side is not controlled to the CZ state. The situation is not overly appealing.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 continues even when the advantageous interval transition hand is won in a situation where the main control unit 41 side is controlling in the normal interval and in the normal game state (non-internal), and the control is made to the CZ state. It is the structure which continues and performs normal production|presentation. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to expect that the vehicle is controlled to the CZ state even when the vehicle is shifted to the advantageous section and controlled to the normal state after the setting value is changed.

[Effect 3]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control the normal section or the advantageous section, and can control the advantageous section to a plurality of types of advantageous section states with different degrees of advantage. state, a normal state, and a CZ state that can transition to the AT state at a higher rate than the normal state. Further, the main control unit 41 controls to the CZ state when the advantageous section ends in the normal state and the advantageous section is started again.

Then, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT winning flag is set when the termination condition of the normal state is satisfied, and continues the advantageous section when the AT winning flag is set. is controlled to the AT state, and the advantageous section is terminated when the termination condition of the normal state is satisfied and the AT winning flag is not set.

With such a configuration, when the end condition of the normal state in which the rate of control to the AT state in the advantageous section is relatively low is satisfied, the advantageous section is terminated thereafter even if the control is not performed to the AT state. , the normal section, and then the advantageous section again to control to the CZ state, so that satisfaction of the end condition in the normal state can enhance interest.

In the present embodiment, a roulette effect is executed to suggest that the game is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state when the condition for terminating the normal state is satisfied. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether control is performed in the AT state or in the CZ state when the termination condition of the normal state is satisfied.

In this embodiment, when the conditions for terminating the normal state are satisfied, it is possible to execute a continuous effect suggesting the possibility that the normal state will end, and the execution period of the roulette effect is shorter than the execution period of the continuous effect. is. By adopting such a configuration, the presentation period does not become excessively long in a situation where it is determined whether to be controlled in the AT state or in the CZ state.

In the present embodiment, the first AT lottery in which whether or not to be controlled to the AT state is determined with a probability according to the result of the internal lottery of the game in the normal state, and the probability according to the result of the internal lottery of the game in the normal state. A point lottery is performed to give a point value, and the ratio of control to the AT state after the end of the normal state is changed according to the results of the first AT lottery and the point lottery. With such a configuration, it is possible to focus attention on the result of the game until the end condition is satisfied in the normal state.

In this embodiment, in the normal state, there is a possibility that the AT state has been won, that is, an AT winning suggestion effect that suggests the possibility of being controlled to the AT state after the normal state is ended, and an AT state is controlled after the normal state is ended. It is a configuration that can execute an item effect that displays an item that suggests that there is a high possibility that the With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player expect to be controlled to the AT state after the end of the normal state by executing the AT win suggesting effect and the item effect.

In this embodiment, when the end condition of the normal state is satisfied, a continuous effect (success) is executed to lead to the effect result indicating that the normal state is finally ended, and when the end condition of the normal state is satisfied When the AT winning flag is not set, after the continuous performance (success) is executed, only one game is controlled to the AT preparation state, and then the advantageous section is ended. With such a configuration, even if the advantageous section ends without being controlled to the AT state after the continuous effect (success) is executed, the advantageous section continues and the section is displayed until one game elapses. Since the lighting of the LED 19 also continues, it can be expected that the AT state will be controlled.

In this embodiment, when the end condition of the normal state is established, the AT winning flag is set, and when the advantageous section is continued to shift to the AT state, the continuous production (success) is executed, and then the AT preparation state. In the first game of (1), a roulette effect (AT) is executed that leads to the effect that the player is finally controlled to the AT state. With such a configuration, even if the advantageous section ends without being controlled to the AT state after the continuous effect (success) is executed, there is a possibility that it will be notified that it will be controlled to the AT state. Until the first game in the AT preparation state has passed, the advantageous section continues and the section display LED 19 continues to light up, so that the player can expect to be controlled to the AT state.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs five games in both the case where the AT state is won in the normal state and shifts to the AT state, and the case where the AT state is won in the CZ state and is controlled to the AT state. After controlling to the AT preparation state, the AT state is controlled by common control to control to the AT state. , After executing the roulette performance, the AT preparation performance is executed, whereas when the AT state is won in the CZ state and is controlled to the AT state, the roulette performance is executed without executing the roulette performance. The production mode until the AT state starts differs depending on the configuration, that is, the case where the AT state is won in the normal state and shifts to the AT state, and the case where the AT state is won in the CZ state and is controlled to the AT state. Configuration. With such a configuration, even if the AT state is won in the normal state and then controlled to the AT state, and if the AT state is won in the CZ state and then controlled to the AT state , while making the control up to the shift to the AT state common, it is possible to diversify the mode of presentation up to the shift to the AT state.

[Effect 4]
In this embodiment, when the result of the internal lottery is B+BB and BB is not derived, the winning of BB is carried over to the next game or later, and the winning of BB is carried over to the next game. It is possible to shift to the AT state in the game state (during internal). In addition, the main control unit 41 can select and set one of the set values 1 to 6 that differ in the degree of advantage for the player, and the setting can be changed in the normal game state (internal). A set value is newly set by shifting to a state, and a normal game state (non-internal) in which winning of BB is not carried over is controlled by initializing a winning flag of BB carried over.

Then, the main control unit 41 can control to RT0 or RT1, and in the normal game state (non-internal), the RT transition result stops on the pay line LN to control to RT1, and the normal game state (internal) ), the RT transition roll does not control to RT1 even if it stops on the winning line LN, and in RT0 and RT1, the probability that the AT state is selected in the state lottery at the transition (AT probability at the transition to the advantageous section), the normal state The winning probability of the end lottery (end lottery probability), the probability that it is decided to control to the AT state in the 3rd AT lottery (3rd AT lottery probability), etc. be.

With such a configuration, the setting value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state, and depending on whether or not the RT transition roll has stopped on the pay line LN before the BB is carried over, After that, since the advantage regarding whether or not to control to the AT state in the normal game state (inside) is different, the advantage is changed depending on whether the RT transition roll has stopped on the pay line LN before the BB is carried over. can be made

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to end RT1 by completing 200 games after controlling to RT1. With such a configuration, after the setting value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state, when the RT transition result stops at the winning line LN before the BB is carried over, By playing 200 games, the advantage can be further changed.

In this embodiment, the advantage regarding whether to control to the AT state at RT1 is higher than the advantage regarding whether to control to the AT state at RT0. With such a configuration, it is possible to anticipate the shift to the AT state by being controlled by RT1.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 has a configuration in which the AT state is selected with a different probability by state lottery at the time of transition, depending on whether the transition is to the advantageous section at RT1 or the advantageous section at RT0. By adopting such a configuration, after the setting value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state, an advantage can be obtained depending on whether or not the RT transition result stops on the pay line LN before the BB is carried over. It is possible to change the ratio of control to the AT state when transitioning to the section.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to transmit a command that can specify whether the next game is RT0 or RT1 to the sub-control unit 91 at the end of each game. is. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to perform control depending on whether or not the sub-control unit 91 side is controlled to RT1 for each game.

In this embodiment, the sub-control section 91 is configured to be able to perform a common effect for RT1 and RT0. With such a configuration, it becomes difficult to perceive from the presentation whether or not the control is being performed by RT1.

In this embodiment, the probability of winning a minor combination in the internal lottery is common between RT0 and RT1. With such a configuration, even if the probability of winning the control to the AT state differs depending on whether it is RT1 or RT0, the probability of winning a minor combination in the internal lottery is common between RT0 and RT1. Therefore, the advantage is not excessively changed depending on whether it is RT1 or RT0.

In this embodiment, RT0 and RT1 have a common winning probability of a small winning combination in the internal lottery, but it is also possible to have a configuration in which the winning probability of a small winning combination in the internal lottery is similar between RT0 and RT1. , even with such a configuration, the advantage does not change excessively depending on whether it is RT1 or RT0.

In this embodiment, the difference between the advantage when controlled to RT0 and the advantage when controlled to RT1 is different according to the set value. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to change the difference in the advantage depending on whether or not the RT1 is controlled according to the set value.

In this embodiment, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect suggesting a set value set on the main control unit 41 side, and the probability that the setting suggestion effect is executed at RT1 is the same as the setting suggestion effect that is executed at RT0. It is a configuration that is set higher than the probability. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to change the difficulty of guessing the setting value by the setting suggestion effect depending on whether or not the RT1 is controlled.
