The sub-control section 91 receives a command transmitted from the main control section 41 and a detection signal of the effect switch 56, and performs various controls for performing effects.

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 is stopped on the winning line LN. In the event that winning occurs, control is performed in accordance with the winning. 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 given, and a special role that involves a transition of the 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]
The main control unit 41 can control the game state to be non-internal, internal, or special.

In the non-internal state, winning of the special role (BB) is not carried over. When the slot machine 1 is started in a state where the slot machine 1 is shipped from the factory and a predetermined area of the RAM 41c storing data relating to the game state is initialized, the slot machine 1 is first controlled during non-internal operation. . Also, when the special state ends, it is controlled to be non-internal. Then, during the non-internal period, the special combination (BB) is won by the internal lottery in the game during the non-internal period, and the special combination is lost and is shifted to the internal stage, thereby ending the game. In addition, in a game in which a special role (BB) is won in an internal lottery, the special role (BB) wins and the game is also terminated when the state is shifted to a special state.

In the non-internal mode, by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player in the game within a predetermined period, the payout rate of medals per game during the period is increased. While exceeding 100%, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated in an operation mode advantageous to the player, so that the payout rate of medals per game during the period does not exceed 100%. there is In the non-internal mode, the payout rate of medals per game does not exceed 100% by not announcing an operation mode that is advantageous to the player.

Inside, the winning of the special role (BB) is carried over. It is started by winning a special role (BB) in an internal lottery in non-internal.

Internally, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player in a game within a predetermined period, so that the payout rate of medals per game during the period is increased to 100%. On the other hand, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player, so that the payout rate of medals per game during the period does not exceed 100%. While the payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100% during the period in which the operation mode that is advantageous to the player is reported, the medal payout rate per game is not reported in the period that the operation mode that is advantageous to the player is not reported. The payout rate does not exceed 100%.

The special state is a gaming state that is controlled in accordance with the winning of the special role (BB). , the total number of medals to be paid out exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 50). After the end of the special state, it is shifted to the non-internal state.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a special win (BB) is won with a predetermined probability (for example, about 1/3.4) in the non-internal mode, and while shifting to the internal mode, the internal mode, that is, In the state where the winning flag of the special combination (BB) is carried over, if the payout rate of medals per game does not exceed 100% when not controlled by AT, which will be described later, it is controlled by AT. In some cases, the payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100%.

In addition, in the reel stop control, when a special combination and a small combination are won at the same time, control is performed so that the small combination is prioritized. In the small win, the drawing range of the symbols constituting the special win (BB) and the drawing range of the symbols constituting the minor win overlap, and even if any of the small wins is won, the winning line is the winning line. It will stop at LN. In addition, when the special combination and the replay combination are won at the same time, control is performed so that the replay combination is always aligned. That is, when a small combination or a replay combination is won inside, the special combination (BB) is not won.

In addition, since any small winning combination or any replay winning combination is always won inside the inside, the special winning combination (BB) is not won once it is shifted to the inside. After the transition, the internal contents will be maintained.

For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, most of the game is controlled internally. 6) Whether or not AT is controlled internally so that the payout rate of medals according to 6) becomes a value determined according to each setting value. By setting the probability of transition to a state or the like, the payout rate of medals is set according to the set value.

In addition, the main control unit 41 controls the AT to notify the operation mode (correct order of pressing) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous by the navigation notification while the winning of the special combination (BB) is carried over. It is designed so that the payout rate of medals is appropriate in the interior.

[Regarding the target role of the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery where the payout rate of medals is appropriate, normal replays and rare replays are subject to the internal lottery as replay hands, and rare small hand A and rare replay are the small hand. Small win B, rare small win C, rare small win D, rare small win E, 24 types of pushing order wins are subject to internal lottery. In the internal lottery, the winning probability of normal replay is about 1/7.4, the winning probability of rare replay is about 1/500, the winning probability of rare small hand A is about 1/500, and the winning probability of rare small hand B is about 1/200, probability of winning rare small role C is about 1/300, probability of winning rare role D is about 1/50, probability of winning rare role E is about 1/80, probability of winning winning role is about 1/80. It is set to approximately 1/1.4.

A winning combination is a winning combination in which a plurality of small winning combinations (in this embodiment, a major minor combination and a secondary minor combination) are won. Regardless of the stop operation timing, while the main and minor roles with payout of 12 medals are won, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order other than the corresponding stop operation order, so that one medal is won according to the stop operation timing. It is a navigating target role in which a secondary minor role with the payout of medals is won or a secondary minor role is not won. 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 stop operation order corresponding to each pushing order is notified by navigation. It's a minor role.

In addition, the roles that are subject to the internal lottery are normal replay, rare replay, rare small role A, rare small role B, rare small role C, rare small role D, rare small role E, and pushing order role, respectively. Winning numbers 1 to 31 are assigned, and the winning number of the winning combination in the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. As for the winning numbers, winning numbers of 2 or less are assigned to hands that do not transition to the advantageous section described later, and values of winning numbers of 3 or higher are assigned to advantageous section transitions that transition to the advantageous section. assigned. For this reason, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the winning combination is 3 or more, instead of specifying individual winning numbers, to determine whether or not the advantageous section transition combination has been won in the normal section. If the number is 3 or more, it is specified that the advantageous section transition combination is won.

Further, a flag category (FC) is assigned to a winning combination of the internal lottery, and the flag category (FC) of the winning combination in the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. The flag category (FC) assigns a common value to a combination having a common attribute, such as a plurality of winning combinations, a plurality of combinations with close winning probabilities, and the like. For this reason, the main control unit 41 does not specify the probability according to the winning combination from the individual winning numbers when specifying the probability according to the winning combination when performing a point lottery or the like, which will be described later. The probability corresponding to the winning combination is specified according to the value of the flag category (FC) assigned to the combination. As a result, there is no need to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each flag category (FC) that is smaller than the winning number, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the winning combination. .

[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. 6, 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 by starting the next game 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 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 in which the advantageous interval is controlled to a game state other than the special state in the game of the normal interval, it is determined that the advantageous interval transition wins in the internal lottery, and the next game is started. is started by 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, navigation notification is performed when a predetermined notification condition is established (in this embodiment, it is controlled to the CZ state or AT state, which will be described later, and the navigation target role is won in an internal lottery). is made possible, and the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that are advantageous to the player are notified by the navigation notification.

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

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 number of net increase in medals after the number of increase/decrease number of medals in the advantageous section changes from decreasing trend to increasing trend is defined as the upper limit number of second specified number (in this embodiment, 2387 The maximum value (15) is subtracted and the maximum number (2) used for setting the bet number is subtracted), and the termination condition 2, a predetermined arbitrary condition (this implementation In the example, the termination condition 3 is satisfied when the CZ state ends without transitioning to the AT state, and the AT state termination condition is satisfied, and at least one of the termination conditions 1 to 3 is included. The advantageous section ends when the condition of is established.

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 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.

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. The advantageous section includes a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ (chance zone) state, and an AT state.

The normal state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, and is a relatively disadvantageous state for the player. The premonitory state is a state in which navigation information is not performed after the normal state is terminated, but after that, the portent state always shifts to the CZ state, and in this point, the state is more advantageous for the player than in the normal state. . The CZ state is a state in which the transition to the CZ state occurs after the precursory state ends, the navigation notification is performed, and the state can shift to the AT state, and is a state more advantageous to the player than the normal state and the precursory 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 a mode lottery and a number-of-games lottery when an advantageous interval transition combination is won in a normal interval and the winning combination shifts to an advantageous interval. In the mode lottery, the normal state mode to be controlled thereafter is determined. In the game number lottery, one of the multiple game number ranges (hereinafter referred to as zones) is determined according to the mode determined by the mode lottery, and the final number of games is determined from the determined zone. be done.

There are five modes in the normal state: normal 1 mode, normal 2 mode, normal 3 mode, heaven preparation mode, and heaven mode. Also, in the normal state, in any mode, when the number of final games determined by the lottery for the number of games is reached, the normal state ends and shifts to the premonitory state.

When the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section, it first controls the normal state. The main control unit 41 adds 1 to the number of games after being controlled to the normal state (referred to as the number of normal games) for each game in the normal state.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the number of normal games after addition has reached the number of finished games determined by lottery for the number of games. Then, the premonitory state is maintained for a predetermined period (10 to 16 games in this embodiment). Then, when the precursor state ends, it is controlled to the CZ state.

In this embodiment, the normal state is controlled to the CZ state when the number of normal games reaches the end game number selected according to the mode of the normal state and the normal state ends. Not only does the number of games reach the number of finished games, it is controlled to the CZ state based on the end of the normal state by winning the end lottery performed every game or when a special role is won or awarded. Alternatively, it may be controlled to the CZ state only based on the end of the normal state by winning the ending lottery that is performed every game or when a special combination is won or awarded. In such a configuration, the odds of winning the end lottery are changed according to the mode, thereby varying the average number of games from the start of the normal state to the control to the CZ state according to the mode. It is good as

The CZ state consists of 10 point-up games and a maximum of 3 condition determination games. In any of the games, when the target role of the navigation notification is won, the navigation notification is performed, so an increase in medals can be expected.

When the CZ state starts, the main control unit 41 first controls to the point-up game, and after 10 games have passed, controls to the condition determination game of up to 3 games.

In this embodiment, the point-up game consists of 10 games. However, a final lottery is conducted at a predetermined opportunity (e.g., winning a specific combination) or each game in the point-up game, and the final lottery is won. By doing so, the point-up game is ended, and the point-up game is controlled to the condition judgment game, or the number of games of the point-up game is determined by lottery. A configuration in which the number of up games fluctuates may be adopted.

In the condition determination game, the main control unit 41 performs a condition determination lottery for each game, and by winning the condition determination lottery for three games in a row, ends the CZ state and controls to the AT state as the condition is satisfied. On the other hand, if the lottery for condition determination is not won even once, the condition is not satisfied in the game, and the CZ state is terminated.

In the condition determination lottery, a winning probability of 10% is added for every 100 points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section to the winning probability of 50%, which is the initial value. For example, if the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section is 250 points, the probability of winning the condition determination lottery is 50+20=70%. The number of points is given by winning a point lottery performed in the normal state and the CZ state, and is accumulated until the advantageous section ends. If the normal state mode before shifting to the CZ state is Heaven Mode, the probability of winning the conditional lottery will be 100% regardless of the number of points. By winning the determination lottery, the player is always controlled to the AT state after the CZ state ends.

The main control unit 41 performs a continuation lottery when the condition is not satisfied and the CZ state ends. In the continuation lottery, it is determined whether or not to continue the advantageous section after the end of the CZ state. Then, when the continuation is won in the continuation lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the normal state again while continuing the advantageous section after the end of the CZ state. If the mode of the normal state before transitioning to the CZ state is the heaven preparation mode, the winning probability of continuation is 100%. In addition, in the continuation lottery, when the number of remaining games in the number of advantageous section games is a predetermined number or more, the probability of winning the continuation is set higher than when the number is less than the predetermined number, or the continuation is won only when the number is the predetermined number or more. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the period in which the advantageous section continues in a state in which the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is small, and then the AT state is controlled to be limited.

In addition, when the CZ state ends with the condition not being met and the continuation is not won in the continuation lottery, and when the AT state ends, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section and controls to the normal section, After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, control is resumed to the normal state along with the transition to the advantageous section again.

Further, when the main control unit 41 returns to the normal state while continuing the advantageous section after the CZ state ends with the condition not being achieved, the mode lottery and the number of games are determined in the first game after the CZ state ends. hold a lottery.

In the mode lottery after the end of the CZ state, similar to the mode lottery after winning the advantageous section transition role, the mode of the normal state to be controlled thereafter is determined. The modes to be determined are different, and normal 1 mode, normal 2 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven mode are determined. Also, when the advantageous section continues after the CZ state ends, if the mode of the normal state before transitioning to the CZ state was the heaven preparation mode, the heaven mode is determined with a probability of 100%. It's like Further, the lottery for the number of games is the same as the lottery for the number of games after winning the advantageous section transition role, and one of a plurality of zones is determined according to the mode determined by the mode lottery after the end of the CZ state, Furthermore, the number of games to end is determined from the determined zone.

Also, after the CZ state ends with the condition not being achieved, the main control unit 41 controls the control to the normal state again while continuing the advantageous section in the same manner as the normal state controlled at the start of the advantageous section. adding 1 to the number of normal games for each game, and when the number of normal games after the addition reaches the number of ending games determined by lottery for the number of games, the normal state is terminated and controlled to a premonitory state; When the precursor state ends, control to the CZ state.

In the present embodiment, a continuation lottery is performed at the end of the CZ state, and by continuously winning, after the CZ state ends, the advantageous section is continued and controlled to the normal state. Not only the continuous lottery is performed at the end, but also the continuous lottery is performed at the start of the advantageous section and winning is continued, so that after the end of the CZ state, the control may be performed to the normal state while the advantageous section is continued.

In addition, in this embodiment, the AT state is controlled by achieving the conditions in the condition determination game in the CZ state. An AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to play, and by winning the AT lottery, it may be configured to be controlled to the AT state. It can be expected to be controlled to the AT state.

In this way, in the present embodiment, when the conditions in the condition determination game in the CZ state cannot be achieved and the continuous lottery is not won and the transition is made from the normal section to the advantageous section, the AT state ends and the shifted normal When transitioning from an interval to an advantageous interval, if the condition is not met in the condition determination game in the CZ state and the continuation lottery is won, the mode lottery and the number of games lottery will be performed, and at these timings the next time The mode and the number of games to end until the CZ state is reached are changed.

In addition, the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section will not be erased until the end of the current advantageous section, and will be accumulated as long as the advantageous section continues. Once controlled, you can expect to accumulate a lot of points.

In addition, since the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section is accumulated and is not deleted even when the advantageous section is controlled to the normal state while the advantageous section is continued after the end of the CZ state, after the CZ state ends, the advantageous After being controlled to the normal state while the section continues, when further controlled to the CZ state, the winning probability of the conditional determination lottery in the conditional determination game is higher than the winning probability of the conditional determination lottery in the previous CZ state. High probability. For this reason, after the CZ state ends with the condition not being achieved, the CZ state after being controlled to the normal state again while continuing the advantageous section, the CZ state after being controlled to the normal state with the start of the advantageous section The possibility of shifting to the AT state increases.

[About modes]
Next, modes in the normal state will be described with reference to FIG.

Under normal conditions, 0-99G (Zone 1), 100-199G (Zone 2), 200-299G (Zone 3), 300-399G (Zone 4), 400-499G (Zone 5), 500 by game number lottery. -599G (Zone 6), 600-699G (Zone 7), 700-799G (Zone 8), one zone is determined, and the number of games included in the determined zone. is determined with equal probability as the number of ending games. In the normal state, the maximum value of the number of finished games, or the so-called ceiling, is 799G, so 700 to 799G (zone 8) including 799G is the ceiling of the zone.

The winning probability of each zone in the lottery for the number of games in normal mode 1 is 10% for 0-99G (zone 1), 0% for 100-199G (zone 2), 10% for 200-299G (zone 3), and 300-. 399G (Zone 4) 0%, 400-499G (Zone 5) 10%, 500-599G (Zone 6) 0%, 600-699G (Zone 7) 10%, 700-799G (Zone 8) 60%, and if the normal 1 mode is selected, there is a possibility that the normal state will end with the number of games included in zones 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8, and until the normal state ends , the average number of games is about 590G.

In the lottery for the number of games in the normal 2 mode, the zone winning probability is 0% for 0-99G (zone 1), 20% for 100-199G (zone 2), 0% for 200-299G (zone 3), and 300-399G. (Zone 4) is 20%, 400-499G (Zone 5) is 0%, and 500-599G (Zone 6) is 60%. There is a possibility that the normal state ends in the number of games included in 6, and the average number of games until the normal state ends is about 430G.

In the lottery for the number of games in the normal 3 modes, the zone winning probability is 10% for 0-99G (zone 1), 0% for 100-199G (zone 2), 10% for 200-299G (zone 3), and 300-399G. (Zone 4) is 80%, and if the normal 3 mode is selected, there is a possibility that the normal state will end with the number of games included in zones 1, 3, and 4, and the normal state will end. The average number of games up to is about 310G.

In the lottery for the number of games in heaven preparation mode, the winning probability of the zone is 5% for 0-99G (zone 1), 0% for 100-199G (zone 2), 5% for 200-299G (zone 3), and 300-399G. (Zone 4) 0%, 400-499G (Zone 5) 5%, 500-599G (Zone 6) 0%, 600-699G (Zone 7) 5%, 700-799G (Zone 8) 80 %, and if the heaven preparation mode is selected, there is a possibility that the normal state will end in the number of games included in zones 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8, and the time until the normal state ends The average number of games is about 670G.

In the lottery for the number of games in heaven mode, the winning probability of the zone is 100% from 0 to 99G (zone 1), and when heaven mode is selected, the normal state ends with the number of games included in zone 1. The average number of games until the end of the normal state is about 50G.

In this way, in the game number lottery, the winning probability of the zone differs depending on the mode, so the zone where the normal state ends, that is, the average number of games until the normal state ends, and this makes the advantage according to the mode. is different.

Specifically, the maximum number of games that can be determined in normal mode 1 is 799G, the maximum number of games that can be determined in normal mode 2 is 599G, the maximum number of games that can be determined in normal mode 3 is 399G, and the maximum number of games that can be determined in normal mode 399G. The maximum number of games that can be obtained is 799G, and the maximum number of games that can be determined in heaven mode is 99G. Therefore, the heaven mode, which has the smallest maximum number of games, is most advantageous to the player. The normal 3 mode with the next smallest maximum number of games and the normal 2 mode with the next smallest maximum number of games are advantageous to the player in this order, and the normal 1 mode with the largest maximum number of games and the heaven preparation mode are the most disadvantageous to the player. Become.

In addition, the heaven preparation mode has a higher probability of winning 700 to 799 G (zone 8), which has the largest number of games than the normal 1 mode, so the average number of games until the normal state ends is also large. Although it is disadvantageous, in the case of the paradise preparation mode, after the next CZ state ends, the paradise mode is always controlled, which is advantageous for the player.

Also, as shown in FIG. 7, zones where the number of games to end can be determined according to the mode, that is, zones where the normal state can end are assigned, and the zone where the normal state can end is common for each mode. The current mode can be inferred from the zone where the normal state ended. In particular, zones 400-499G (Zone 5), 600-699 (Zone 7), and 700-799 (Zone 8) are zones that are determined in either normal 1 mode or heaven preparation mode, and these In the case where the number of games included in the zone 1 is shifted to the premonitory state and shifted to the CZ state, it can be expected that the next time the heaven mode will be controlled to the heaven preparation mode.

[Regarding control over the awarding of points]
Next, control related to awarding of points will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the normal state, the main control unit 41 performs a first point lottery, a second point lottery, and a third point lottery as point lotteries to which points can be awarded. The first point lottery is executed for each game in a state other than the special zone, which will be described later, in the normal state, and whether or not points are awarded and the number of points to be awarded are determined according to the results of the internal lottery. be. The second point lottery is a zone that does not include the number of finished games among the plurality of zones, and is executed in a point award game selected from the number of games included in the lottery target period assigned to each mode. Whether or not points are given and the number of points to be given are determined according to the lottery type assigned to the lottery target period. A third point lottery is executed for each game in a special zone, which will be described later, in the normal state. Granting of points is determined under conditions that are more favorable than the point lottery. Note that the third point lottery is executed every game even in the point-up game in the CZ state.

The special zone is an advantageous period for players who are likely to be awarded points because the third point lottery is held for each game. The initial number of games in the specialized zone is 10 G, but by winning a continuation lottery to continue the specialized zone, the specialized zone can be continued for a longer number of games than the initial number of games. In addition, if hiding wins the special zone continuation lottery, which will be described later, it is possible to let the special zone control again after the end of the special zone.

In this embodiment, both control to continue the specialization zone in the specialization zone and control to return to the specialization zone after hiding are possible, but either one of them may be possible.

In a normal state, the main control unit 41 performs a specialized zone lottery, a specialized zone continuation lottery, and an activation lottery in relation to the specialized zone. In the special zone lottery, whether or not to move to the special zone is determined according to the result of the internal lottery. In the special zone continuation lottery, at the end of the special zone, one of hiding, continuation, and non-winning is determined according to the number of accumulated points. The activation lottery is performed when the specialized zone is hidden, and the transition to the hidden specialized zone is determined with a predetermined probability (20% in this embodiment).

Next, referring to FIG. 8, the flow of awarding points in the normal state will be described. is not included (S2: N), and if it is the start game of the lottery target period (S3: Y), select the point award game in which the second point award lottery will be performed during the lottery target period ( S4). As the point-giving game, one of the 100G games belonging to the lottery target period is evenly selected. In addition, in the case where it is the lottery target period (S1: Y) and the zone does not include the number of finished games (S2: N), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not it is the start game of the lottery target period. Regardless, the first point lottery is performed (S5).

In addition, when it is the lottery target period (S1: Y) and the zone does not include the number of finished games (S2: N), the main control unit 41 selects the current game as the point after the first point lottery. If it is an awarding game (S6: Y), it is determined whether or not to award points with a probability corresponding to the lottery type (see FIG. 7) assigned to the current mode and the lottery target period in that mode. A second point lottery is conducted (S7). Then, the number of points won in the first point lottery and the number of points won in the second point lottery are added to the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section (S8).

On the other hand, the main control unit 41, in the normal state, when the lottery target period does not correspond to the current mode (S1: N), or the lottery target period corresponds to the current mode (S1: Y), the end game If the zone contains a number (S2: Y) and if it is not a specialized zone (S10: N), a special zone lottery is conducted (S11). In addition, if the concealment of the special zone is elected at the end of the previous special zone, the activation lottery will be performed. Then, when the special zone lottery or activation lottery is won (S12: Y), 10 is added to the number of games in the special zone (S13), and the special zone is started from the next game. Further, the main control unit 41, if the lottery target period does not correspond to the current mode (S1: N), or if the lottery target period corresponds to the current mode (S1: Y), the number of finished games is included. If it is a zone (S2: Y) and if it is not a specialized zone (S10: N), the first point lottery is conducted (S5) regardless of whether or not the player wins the specialized zone lottery and activation lottery. ), the number of points won in the first point lottery is added to the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section (S8).

Further, in the normal state, the main control unit 41 determines whether the lottery target period corresponding to the current mode is not reached (S1: N) or the lottery target period corresponds to the current mode (S1: Y), but the end game is executed. If the zone includes a number (S2: Y) and if it is a specialized zone (S10: N), a third point lottery is conducted (S14), and the number of points won in the third point lottery is added to the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section (S15), and 1 is subtracted from the number of specialized zone games (S16). Then, when the number of games in the special zone is 0 (S17: Y), a special zone continuation lottery is performed (S18). Then, if neither hiding nor continuation is won in the special zone continuation lottery (S19: N, S20: N), the special zone is ended without setting hiding. On the other hand, if hiding is won in the special zone continuation lottery (S19: Y), the special zone is terminated after setting hiding. Further, when the special zone continuation lottery wins the continuation lottery (S20: Y), 5 is added to the number of games in the special zone (S21) to continue the special zone.

After the start of the normal state, the main control unit 41 controls the awarding of these points for each game over the period from the end of the normal state (S9: Y) to the transition to the premonitory state.

In this embodiment, the lottery target period corresponds to the current mode, and if the number of finished games is not included in the period, the special zone is not controlled. It is a period, and even if the number of finished games is included in the period, it may be configured to be controlled to the specialized zone.

[About point lottery]
Next, the first point lottery, the second point lottery, and the third point lottery will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9(a), in the first point lottery, among the FCs (flag categories) to which the results of the internal lottery belong, when FCs 1 to 4 are won, the probability corresponding to the FC to which the winning internal lottery result belongs , any one of 0 Pt, 10 Pt, 20 Pt, 30 Pt, 40 Pt, and 50 Pt is won, and if a point number of 10 Pt or more is won, the winning point number is awarded.

As shown in FIG. 9B, in the second point lottery, one of 0Pt, 10Pt, 20Pt, 30Pt, 40Pt, and 50Pt will be won with a probability corresponding to the lottery type A to C, and 10Pt of these will be won. When the above number of points is won, the number of points won is given. In lottery type A, one of 10Pt to 50Pt will be won with a probability of 50%, in lottery type B, one of 10Pt to 50Pt will be elected with a probability of 80%, and in lottery type C, any of 10Pt to 50Pt. Has a 20% chance of winning.

As shown in FIG. 9C, in the third point lottery, among the FCs to which the results of the internal lottery belong, 0Pt, 10Pt, 20Pt, 30Pt, and 40Pt at probabilities corresponding to FC0 to 4 to which the internal lottery results belong. , 50 Pt, and if a point number of 10 Pt or more is won, the winning point number is awarded.

In addition, in the third point lottery, 10 points can be won even in FC0, which is not subject to lottery in the first point lottery, and the probability of winning a larger number of points than in the first point lottery is set higher. Therefore, points are awarded under conditions that are more favorable than the first point lottery.

In addition, in the third point lottery, in the case of FC0 in games other than the final game in the specialized zone, points may not be awarded with a probability of 50%, whereas in the final game in the specialized zone , FC0, points are given with a probability of 100%. That is, points are always awarded in the final game of the specialized zone.

[Regarding points awarded by zone]
As shown in FIG. 7, the lottery target period during which the second point lottery is performed is assigned to each mode, and one of the lottery types A to C is assigned to the lottery target period for each mode. there is

In normal mode 1, the lottery target period is assigned to 0-99G (zone 1), 200-299G (zone 3), 400-499G (zone 5), and 600-699G (zone 7), of which zones 1 and 3 In contrast, lottery type A is assigned with a probability of 50% to award points, and lottery type B is assigned to zones 5 and 7 with a probability of 80% to be assigned points.

In the normal 2 mode, the lottery period is assigned to 100-199G (Zone 2) and 300-399G (Zone 4), and points are awarded with a 50% probability for both Zones 2 and 4. A is assigned.

In the normal 3 mode, the lottery period is assigned to 0-99G (Zone 1) and 200-299G (Zone 3), and points are awarded with a 50% probability for both Zones 1 and 3. A is assigned.

In Heaven preparation mode, lottery target periods are assigned to 0-99G (Zone 1), 200-299G (Zone 3), 400-499G (Zone 5), and 600-699G (Zone 7), Zones 1, 3, and 5. , 7 are assigned a lottery type C in which points are awarded with a probability of 20%.

In heaven mode, the number of completed games is the maximum in 0 to 99G (zone 1), so neither the lottery target period nor the lottery type is assigned.

In this way, the lottery target period is assigned to the zones in which the number of games to be finished can be determined in each mode, i.e., the zone in which the normal state can be finished, excluding the zone with the maximum number of games to be finished. As in, the second point lottery is performed when the period for the lottery according to the mode and the zone does not include the number of finished games, that is, when the normal state does not end in the zone, the mode In zones where the number of games to be finished can be determined according to , not only can it be expected to shift to the CZ state based on the end of the normal state, but points will be awarded even if the normal state does not end. can be expected.

[Regarding special zone lottery and special zone continuation lottery]
Next, the specialized zone lottery and the specialized zone continuation lottery will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b), in the special zone lottery, it is determined whether or not to move to the special zone with a probability according to the FC to which the result of the internal lottery belongs. In addition, in the special zone lottery, when the last two digits of the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section are less than 90 Pt (see FIG. 10 (a)), when it is 90 Pt or more (Fig. See), the probability of deciding to move to a specialized zone is treated preferentially.

As shown in FIGS. 10(c) and 10(d), in the specialized zone continuation lottery, one of non-winning, hiding, and continuing is won according to the probability assigned to non-winning, hiding, and continuing. In addition, in the specialized zone continuation lottery, the case where the last two digits of the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section is less than 90 Pt (see FIG. 10 (c)) )) favors the probability of determining latency and persistence.

In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to add points to the number of points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section. For every 100 points, a winning probability of 10% is added to the initial winning probability of 50%. In addition, it is possible to control the special zone where it is easy to give points, and when the number of games in the special zone reaches 0, the special zone continuation lottery is executed, and the hiding is decided to return to the special zone again. It is possible to transfer, and by deciding to continue, the current specialized zone can be continued for 5 games. In the special zone continuation lottery, if the last two digits of the point number are 90 points or more, that is, if the points that are insufficient for 100 points are 10 points or less, and if the last two digits of the point number are less than 90 points In other words, it is easier to determine the latent and continuation of the specialized zone than in the case where the lack of points for 100 Pt exceeds 10 Pt.

As a result, even if the number of points does not reach 100 points at the end of the special zone, if the shortage is 10 points or less, it will be easier to increase the number of points to 100 points and add 10% of the winning probability in the conditional lottery. ing.

Similarly, in the special zone lottery for determining whether or not to move to the special zone when the special zone is not hidden, if the lack of points for 100 points is 10 points or less, It is easier to decide to move to a specialized zone than when the points lacking for 100 points exceeds 10 points, and in such a case, the number of points reaches 100 points and the winning probability in the conditional lottery is added 10%. It is easier to let

[Regarding production in normal state]
Next, the effects performed in the normal state will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), the sub control unit 91 controls the period during which the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the trillion state, that is, the period during which it is subsequently controlled to the CZ state, excluding the remaining three games ( In the period of 7 to 13 G after the start of the precursor state), after executing the precursor effect suggesting the possibility of shifting to the CZ state, the remaining 3 games in the period during which the main control unit 41 side is controlled to the precursor state. During a period of time, a continuous effect (win) is executed to suggest the possibility of shifting to the CZ state and to notify that the state will finally shift to the CZ state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the sub-control unit 91 causes the main control unit 41 to win the second point lottery in the point awarding game during the lottery target period and points are awarded. On the part 41 side, while being controlled to the normal state, for the same period of 7 to 13G as the period during which the portent performance is executed in the portent state, the portent performance common to the portent state in the portent state is executed, and then the portent. Over the same period of 3G as the continuous performance (win) is executed in the state, the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is suggested, and the continuous performance (loss) that informs that it will not finally shift to the CZ state is executed. do. Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns to the normal effect after executing the continuous effect (loss), suggests the possibility that points have been given after 2 to 3 G, and finally whether or not the points have been given. A point suggesting performance is executed to notify whether or not, and the number of points given in the second point lottery that triggered the start of the sign performance in the point suggesting performance is reported.

As shown in FIG. 11(c), the sub-control unit 91 controls the main control unit 41 when points are not awarded even if the second point lottery is performed in the point award game during the lottery target period. does not perform any omen effect, continuous effect (loss), or point suggestive effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11(d), the sub-control section 91 performs the first point lottery triggered by the winning of any of FC1 to FC4 in the normal state on the main control section 41 side. In this case, if the premonition effect or the continuous effect (loss) is not being executed in the game, the point suggesting effect is executed in the game. Then, when the number of points equal to or greater than 10 Pt is won in the first point lottery and points are awarded, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the number of points won by the point suggesting effect. On the other hand, when the number of points of 10 Pt or more is not won in the first point lottery and points are not awarded, the sub-control unit 91 notifies that points are not awarded by the point suggesting effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11(d), the sub-control section 91 performs the first point lottery triggered by the winning of any of FC1 to FC4 in the normal state on the main control section 41 side. In this case, if the premonitory effect or continuous effect (loss) is being executed in the game, the point suggesting effect is not executed in the game, and the number of points of 10 Pt or more is won in the first point lottery, and points If is granted, the number of points won in the first point lottery and the trigger of the ongoing performance and continuous performance (loss) in the point suggestion performance that is performed after the end of the continuous performance (loss) The number of points given in the second point lottery that has not been reached and the number of points obtained by summing the number of points are reported.

As described above, in this embodiment, in the portent state before shifting to the CZ state on the main control unit 41 side, the portent effect and the continuous effect (win) are executed, and the zone where the normal state can end on the main control unit 41 side , in the second point lottery that is held during the lottery target period in which the normal state does not end, if the number of points of 10 Pt or more is won and points are awarded, the portent effect and continuous effect (lost) are performed. On the other hand, in a zone where the normal state can end on the main control unit 41 side, even if the lottery target period does not end the normal state, points of 10 points or more are not won in the second point lottery, and points is not provided, the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss) are not executed. That is, in the situation where the normal state does not end and the state does not shift to the CZ state, whether or not the portent effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed depends on whether or not points of 10 points or more are won in the second point lottery and points are awarded. It is determined by whether

Then, the number of points given in the second point lottery that triggered the sign production and continuous production (loss) is calculated after the continuous production (loss). is to be notified in

[About continuous production]
Next, the continuous effect executed by the sub-controller 91 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12(a), the continuous effect consists of three types of continuous effect A, continuous effect B, and continuous effect C. Character B appears in continuous performance B, character A and character B appear in continuous performance C, etc. At least a part of each performance is different, and the difference can be recognized by the player. In addition, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which each production is different from each other, such as different lines by characters, different items that appear, and the like.

Further, all of the continuous effects A to C suggest the possibility of shifting to the CZ state as described above, and notify whether or not the state will finally shift to the CZ state. The degree of expectation of the CZ state according to the type of continuous performance is 10% for both continuous performance A and continuous performance B, and 80% for continuous performance C. The degree of expectation of the CZ state according to the type of continuous effect is the rate of transition to the CZ state when the type of continuous effect is executed, and the corresponding type of continuous effect (hit) / (corresponding type It is calculated by the appearance rate of the continuous effect (hit) of + the appearance rate of the corresponding type of continuous effect (loss)). For this reason, the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is the same regardless of whether the continuous performance A or the continuous performance B is executed as described above, but when the continuous performance C is executed, the continuous performance It is suggested that there is a higher possibility of shifting to the CZ state than when A and continuous effect B are executed.

As shown in FIGS. 12(b) to (d), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the situation (hit) to shift to the CZ state when executing the continuous effect, the current mode, the current zone The type of continuous performance is selected at a selection rate according to the type of continuous performance and the execution history of the past continuous performance.

As shown in FIG. 12(b), the sub-control unit 91 is in a state of transition to the CZ state (hit), and the continuous effect C never occurs after the normal state starts until the continuous effect is executed. If (missing) is not executed, in any mode, the continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 30%, the continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 30%, and the continuous performance C is selected with a probability of 40%. select with a probability of

Further, as shown in FIG. 12(c), the sub-control unit 91 is in a state of shifting to the CZ state (hit), and the continuous effect has already been performed before the continuous effect is executed after the normal state starts. When C (lost) is being executed, the continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 10% and the continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 10% in any mode except the heaven mode, Continuous performance C is selected with a probability of 80%. In heaven mode, since the normal state always ends in zone 1, there is no situation where the continuous effect (loss) is already being executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12(d), the sub-control unit 91 is in a situation (hit) that shifts to the CZ state (hit), and if it is the ceiling zone, the normal state can end in the ceiling zone. The continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 10%, the continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 10%, and the continuous performance C is selected with a probability of 80% in any of the 1 mode and the heaven preparation mode. In the normal 2 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven mode, since the normal state ends in the zone before the ceiling zone, there is no situation where the ceiling zone shifts to the CZ state.

As shown in FIG. 12(e), the sub-control unit 91 is in a state (disconnection) that does not shift to the CZ state, and the continuous effect C is not executed once from the start of the normal state to the execution of the continuous effect. When (missing) is not executed, if normal mode 1 and heaven preparation mode, continuous effect A is selected with a probability of 75%, continuous effect B is selected with a probability of 20%, and continuous effect C is selected. Select with a probability of 5%, and if it is a normal 2 mode, select continuous performance A with a probability of 45%, select continuous performance B with a probability of 45%, and select continuous performance C with a probability of 10%. In the case of normal 3 modes, the continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 20%, the continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 75%, and the continuous performance C is selected with a probability of 5%. In heaven mode, since the normal state always ends in zone 1, there is no situation (miss) in which the transition to the CZ state is not made.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12( f ), the sub-control unit 91 is in a state (mismatch) that does not shift to the CZ state, and since the normal state starts and the continuous effect is already executed before the continuous effect is executed. When C (lost) is being executed, the normal mode is 1, and in the heaven preparation mode, the continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 80%, the continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 20%, and the continuous performance is performed. C is not selected, and in normal 2 modes, continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 50%, continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 50%, continuous performance C is not selected, In the normal 3 modes, the continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 20%, the continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 80%, and the continuous performance C is never selected. In heaven mode, since the normal state always ends in zone 1, there is no situation where the continuous effect (loss) is already being executed.

Thus, the continuous performance includes a plurality of types of continuous performances A to C, of which the continuous performance C has a higher degree of expectation in the CZ state than the continuous performance A and the continuous performance B, and the continuous performance C is executed. In this case, a transition to the CZ state can be expected at a rate of 50%.

Further, after the start of the normal state, when the continuous effect C is executed in a situation in which the transition to the CZ state is not made and it is notified that the transition to the CZ state is not made, the normal state is terminated and the transition to the CZ state is continued. In the period of , continuous effect C is not selected in situations where the CZ state is not transitioned, and after the normal state starts, during the period from the normal state to the end of the normal state and transition to the CZ state, the most The execution of the continuous performance C with a high degree of expectation and the notification that the game does not shift to the CZ state are restricted.

Further, after the start of the normal state, when the continuous effect C is executed in the situation where the transition to the CZ state does not occur, and it is notified that the transition to the CZ state will not occur, the continuous effect C is executed in the situation where the transition to the CZ state does not occur after the start of the normal state. When the state of transition to the CZ state occurs after that, the probability that the continuous performance C is selected is higher than when the performance C is not executed, and after the normal state is started, the normal state ends and the CZ state is resumed. In the period until the transition to the state, when the continuous performance C with the highest degree of expectation is executed in the situation where the transition to the CZ state is not made, the continuous performance C is not executed in the situation where the transition to the CZ state is not made. , the continuous effect C is executed when the state of transition to the CZ state occurs, and the rate of notification of the transition to the CZ state is high.

Further, when the normal state ends in the ceiling zone and shifts to the CZ state, the ratio of selecting the continuous effect C is higher than when the normal state ends in a zone other than the ceiling zone and shifts to the CZ state. In the situation of transitioning to the CZ state in a zone, ie the zone where the normal state must be terminated and transitioned to the CZ state, the situation is the most expected than when the normal state is terminated and transitioned to the CZ state in other zones. A high degree of continuous effect C is executed, and the rate of notification of the shift to the CZ state is high.

[About Mode Suggestion]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, zones in which the normal state can end are assigned to each mode. In addition, when the normal state does not end among the zones in which the normal state can be ended according to the mode, a second point lottery is conducted, and points of 10 points or more are won in the second point lottery and points are awarded. In this case, a continuous effect (loss) will be executed.

For this reason, in the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven preparation mode, continuous production (loss) can be performed in zones 1 and 3 in all of them, whereas in normal 2 mode, continuous production (loss) can be performed in zones 1 and 3. ) is not executed, and in the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven preparation mode, continuous effects (loss) can be executed in zones 2 and 4. , and when the continuous performance (loss) is executed in zones 1 and 3, it is suggested that it is one of the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven preparation mode, and that it is not normal 2 mode. When a continuous effect (loss) is executed in 2 and 4, it is suggested that the normal mode is the 2 mode.

Further, in the normal 1 mode, the normal 3 mode, and the heaven preparation mode, continuous effects (loss) can be executed in zones 1 and 3, so continuous effects (loss) are executed only in zones 1 and 3. , Normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, heaven preparation mode, it is difficult to guess, but if it is normal 1 mode or heaven preparation mode, continuous production The selection rate of continuous performance A is high among A and continuous performance B, and the selection rate of continuous performance B is high among continuous performance A and continuous performance B in a situation where the mode is not shifted to the CZ state in the normal 3 mode. Therefore, when the continuous performance (lost) is executed in zones 1 and 3, if the type is continuous performance A, it is highly possible that the mode is either normal mode 1 or heaven preparation mode. Suggested, if the type is continuous production B, there is a high possibility that it is a mode that always transitions to the CZ state in the zone at an earlier stage than the normal 3 mode, that is, the normal 1 mode and the heaven preparation mode. is suggested.

In addition, in normal 1 mode and heaven preparation mode, continuous production (loss) can be executed in zones 1, 3, 5, and 7, and in either normal 1 mode or heaven preparation mode, CZ state In the situation where no transition is made, the selection rate of continuous performance A is high among continuous performance A and continuous performance B, and when continuous performance (loss) is executed in zones 1, 3, 5 and 7, the type is continuous performance A. Even if it is, it is difficult to guess whether it is normal 1 mode or heaven preparation mode, but in the case of normal 1 mode and heaven preparation mode, in the situation where it does not shift to the CZ state , the probability of executing the continuous performance (loss) is different, the continuous performance (loss) is executed in the zones 1, 3, 5 and 7, and the more times the continuous performance (loss) is executed, the normal 1 mode , and the continuous performance (loss) is executed in zones 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the fewer times the continuous performance (loss) is executed, the next heaven mode is decided. It will be suggested that there is a high possibility that it is in heaven preparation mode.

In this way, in this embodiment, when the continuous effect (loss) is executed in zones 1 and 3, it is suggested that it is one of the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven preparation mode, and the zone 2 and 4, when the continuous effect (loss) is executed, it is suggested that it is usually 2 mode, and depending on the zone where the continuous effect (loss) is executed, the current mode It is possible to suggest

In addition, when continuous performance (lost) is executed in zones 1 and 3, if the type is continuous performance A, it suggests that there is a high possibility that the mode is either normal mode 1 or heaven preparation mode. If the type is the continuous effect B, it is a mode in which the normal state always ends in a zone earlier than the normal 3 mode, that is, the normal 1 mode and the heaven preparation mode, and shifts to the CZ state. It is suggested that the possibility is high, and even in multiple modes where the zone in which continuous effects (losses) are executed is common, the types of continuous effects (losses) that are likely to be executed are different. , it is possible to suggest the current mode.

In addition, it is suggested that the higher the number of continuous effects (loss) executed in zones 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the greater the number of times the continuous effects (loss) were executed, the higher the possibility that the normal mode is 1 mode. Continuous performance (lost) is executed in 1, 3, 5, 7, and the smaller the number of times the continuous performance (loss) is executed, the higher the possibility that the next heaven mode will be the heaven preparation mode. It is designed to be done, and it is a plurality of modes in which the zone in which the continuous effect (loss) is executed is common, and even if the type of continuous effect (loss) that is easy to be executed is common, the continuous effect (loss) It is possible to suggest the current mode by the difference in the number of executions of

Also, when the continuous performance (lost) is executed in zones 1 and 3, the current mode is suggested by whether it is continuous performance A or continuous performance B. Zones 1 and 3 When the continuous performance is executed in , when the continuous performance C not suggesting the mode is executed, the transition to the CZ state is made more than when the continuous performance A and the continuous performance B suggesting the mode are executed. is reported more frequently.

[About Point Suggestion Production]
Next, the point suggestion effect executed by the sub-controller 91 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. FIG.

When the first point lottery is performed or points are given by the second point lottery in the normal state on the main control unit 41 side in a state other than the specialized zone, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the special zone or When the third point lottery is performed in the point-up game in the CZ state, the point suggesting performance is executed.

In the point suggesting effect, by displaying an operation prompting image (see FIGS. 13(a), 13(d), and 13(f)) to prompt the user to operate the effect switch 56, it is possible to suggest that points have been awarded, and to indicate that points have been awarded. By displaying a result notification image (see FIGS. 13B, 13C, 13E, and 13G) for notifying whether or not points have been awarded, it is possible to determine whether points have been awarded and, if points have been awarded, , is an effect in which the number of points is notified.

As shown in FIG. 13, the point-suggesting effect includes a pattern A for displaying an operation prompting image A (see FIG. 13(a)) on the liquid crystal display 51 and an operation prompting image B (see FIG. 13(d)). It consists of three types of pattern B to be displayed and pattern C to display an operation prompting image C (see FIG. 13(f)).

Pattern A is a pattern that can be executed regardless of whether or not points are given. As shown in FIG. When points are given by operating the switch 56, an image indicating the number of points given (“+10Pt” in FIG. 13(b)) is displayed as shown in FIG. 13(b). 13C, a result notification image indicating that points have been awarded is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and if no points have been awarded, as shown in FIG. 13C, no points have been awarded. The liquid crystal display 51 is caused to display a result notification image to that effect.

Pattern B is a pattern that is executed only when points are given. As shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13(e), an image indicating the number of points given (“+30 Pt” in FIG. 13(e)) is displayed to notify the result that points have been given. An image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

Pattern C is a pattern that is executed only when points are given. As shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13(g), an image indicating the number of points given (“+50Pt” in FIG. 13(g)) is displayed to notify the result that points have been given. Display an image on the liquid crystal display 51

In the present embodiment, it is sufficient that at least a part of the presentation mode is different in the patterns A to C of the point suggestive presentation. good.

As shown in FIGS. 14A to 14C, when the main control unit 41 side performs the first point lottery in the normal state other than the specialized zone, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the points are awarded in the second point lottery. If awarded, if the third point lottery is performed in a specialized zone other than the final game, if the third point lottery is performed in the point-up game in the CZ state, the third point lottery is performed in the final game in the specialized zone and if neither continuation nor hiding is won in the specialized zone continuation lottery, and no points are awarded, pattern A is selected with a probability of 100%, 10 points or 20 points. is given, pattern A is selected with a probability of 70%, pattern B is selected with a probability of 30%, and when 30 Pt or more is given, pattern A is selected with a probability of 40%. , pattern B is selected with a probability of 50%, and pattern C is selected with a probability of 10%.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14(d), the sub control unit 91 performs the third point lottery in the final game in the special zone on the main control unit 41 side, and the special zone continuation lottery , When continuation or latency is elected, if 10 Pt or 20 Pt is given, pattern A is selected with a probability of 40%, pattern B is selected with a probability of 50%, and pattern B is selected with a probability of 10% When pattern C is selected and 30 Pt or more are given, pattern A is selected with a probability of 10%, pattern B is selected with a probability of 60%, and pattern C is selected with a probability of 30%.

In this way, by executing the point suggesting effect in any one of the patterns A to C, the possibility that points have been awarded is suggested, and regardless of whether points have been awarded , pattern A can be selected, and pattern B and pattern C are selected only when points are given. It is suggested that points are given without waiting for is displayed.

Also, when 30 points or more are awarded, pattern B is selected with a higher probability than when 10 points or 20 points are awarded. It is suggested that there is a higher possibility that points of 30 Pt or more are awarded than when is selected.

In addition, except for the final game in the specialized zone, pattern C is selected only when 30 points or more are awarded. By executing the point suggesting effect at , it is suggested that points of 30 Pt or more have been awarded without waiting for the result notification image to be displayed.

In addition, in the final game of the specialized zone, if continuation or hiding is won in the special zone continuation lottery, pattern B has a higher probability than when continuation or hiding is not won in the specialized zone continuation lottery. , Pattern C is selected, so there is a high possibility that the special zone continuation or hiding is won by executing the point suggesting effects in the pattern B and pattern C in the final game of the special zone. It is suggested that

In particular, pattern C is selected even when 10 Pt or 20 Pt is awarded only when continuation or hiding is won in the special zone continuation lottery, so in the final game of the special zone, in pattern C If the point suggestion effect is executed and the number of points given is 10 Pt or 30 Pt, it is suggested that continuation or hiding is won in the specialized zone continuation lottery.

[Effect 1]
After starting the normal state, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment terminates the normal state by reaching the number of finished games included in a specific zone out of a plurality of zones, and controls the CZ state to be advantageous to the player. In addition, it is possible to award points through a second point lottery in games included in a specific zone.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 performs a premonitory effect suggesting the possibility of shifting to the CZ state, a continuous effect suggesting the possibility of shifting to the CZ state, and notifying whether or not the state will finally shift to the CZ state. It is viable. Then, in a situation where the transition to the CZ state occurs in a specific zone, the sub-control unit 91 executes a precursor effect and a continuous effect (hit) for notifying that the transition to the CZ state occurs, and causes the transition to the CZ state in the specific zone. First, in a situation where points are given by the second point lottery, a continuous production (loss) that notifies that the precursor production and the transition to the CZ state will not be performed, and the CZ state is not shifted in a specific zone, and the second point is obtained. In a situation where points are not given by lottery, neither the sign effect nor the continuous effect (loss) is executed. Then, in a situation where the transition to the CZ state does not occur in a specific zone and points are given by the second point lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the point suggestive effect after executing the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss). Then, it is notified that points have been awarded.

With such a configuration, in a configuration in which a specific zone among a plurality of zones may shift to the CZ state and points may be awarded by the second point lottery, the specific zone may shift to the CZ state. Even in a situation where the transition to the CZ state does not occur in a specific zone and points are awarded by the second point lottery, the premonitory effects and continuous effects suggesting the possibility of shifting to the CZ state are executed. , the premonition effect and the continuous effect are executed, the player can be expected to shift to the CZ state.

In addition, when the transition to the CZ state does not occur in a specific zone, a sign effect and a continuous effect ( Since it is determined whether or not the loss) is executed, the result of whether or not points are awarded by the second point lottery is used to determine whether the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed. without having to make a separate decision.

In addition, in a situation where points are given by the second point lottery without shifting to the CZ state in a specific zone, after the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed, the point suggestion effect is executed. Since it is reported that the point is given, apart from being notified that the transition to the CZ state will not occur due to the premonitory effect and the continuous effect (loss), the player is made to recognize that the point has been given. can be done.

In this embodiment, when the CZ state is not changed in a specific zone, points are accumulated as a benefit to increase the degree of advantage afterward. If not, benefits other than points, such as the right to shift to a state advantageous to the player other than the CZ state, suggestion of setting values, etc., may be provided to increase the current advantage.

In this embodiment, 0 to 99G (zone 1), 100 to 199G (zone 2), 200 to 299G (zone 3), 300 to 399G (zone 4), 400 to 499G (zone 5), 500 to 599G (zone 6), 600 to 699G (zone 7), and 700 to 799G (zone 8), zones in which the normal state can end and zones in which the normal state does not end are assigned according to the mode. Configuration. With such a configuration, after the start of the normal state, depending on which of the zones 1 to 8 it is, the state of transition to the CZ state and the state of not transitioning change. It is possible to draw attention to whether it is a zone of

In this embodiment, among zones 1 to 8, zones in which the normal state can end and zones in which the normal state does not end are assigned according to the mode. A zone with a high probability that the normal state will end and a zone with a low probability that the normal state will end may be assigned, and the probability that the normal state will end may be different depending on the zone. In this case as well, since the possibility of transition to the CZ state differs depending on which of zones 1 to 8 it is, it is possible to draw attention to which zone the current zone is.

In this embodiment, among zones 1 to 8, zones to which points can be awarded by the second point lottery and zones to which points are not awarded by the second point lottery are assigned according to the mode. With such a configuration, after the start of the normal state, depending on which of the zones 1 to 8 it is, the situation changes from the situation where points can be awarded by the second point lottery and points are not awarded, It is possible to draw attention to which zone the current zone is.

In this embodiment, among the zones 1 to 8, according to the mode, a zone to which points can be awarded by the second point lottery and a zone to which points are not awarded by the second point lottery are assigned. However, depending on the mode, zones with a high probability of points being awarded by the second point lottery and zones with a low probability of being awarded points by the second point lottery are assigned. A configuration may be adopted in which the probabilities of awarding points by the 2-point lottery are different, and even in such a configuration, points are awarded by the second point lottery depending on which of the zones 1 to 8 the zone is. It is possible to draw attention to which zone the current zone is because the possibilities of

In the present embodiment, a zone in which points can be awarded by the second point lottery is assigned to zones in which the normal state can end. With such a configuration, points can be expected to be awarded in a zone where the normal state can be ended, so that the desire to continue the game until the zone where the normal state can be ended can be increased.

In addition, in a configuration in which the probability of ending the normal state differs depending on the zone, in the zone where the probability of ending the normal state is high, the zone where points can be awarded by the second point lottery or points are awarded by the second point lottery. A configuration in which a zone with a high probability is assigned may be used, and even in such a configuration, points can be expected to be awarded in zones with a high probability that the normal state will end, so the normal state will end. It is possible to increase motivation to continue the game until a zone with a high probability is reached.

The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment can control one of a plurality of types of modes with different zones where the normal state can end and zones where points are awarded by the second point lottery among zones 1 to 8. After the CZ state ends with the conditions not being met or after the AT state ends, a mode lottery is performed to determine the mode of the normal state to be controlled thereafter. With such a configuration, with the end of the CZ state or AT state, the zone where the normal state can end and the zone where points are awarded by the second point lottery are changed until the next control to the CZ state. can be made

The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment executes the first point lottery for each game in the state other than the specialized zone in the normal state, and among the FCs (flag categories) to which the results of the internal lottery belong, FCs 1 to 4 At the time of winning, the number of points of 10 Pt or more is won with a probability corresponding to the FC to which the result of the winning internal lottery belongs, so that the number of winning points is awarded. Further, when the main control unit 41 side wins the first point lottery and points are awarded, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the game , the point suggestion effect is executed, the number of points won in the point suggestion effect is notified, and if the sign effect or continuous effect (loss) is being executed in the game, the point suggestion effect is not executed in the game, It is configured to execute a point suggestion performance after the end of the continuous performance (loss), and notify the number of points won in the point suggestion performance. By adopting such a configuration, FC1 to 4 are won during the execution of the omen effect and the continuous effect (loss), the number of points of 10 Pt or more is won in the first point lottery, and the number of points that have been won are awarded. In that case, the point suggesting effect is not executed in the game, and the point suggesting effect is executed after the continuous effect (loss) ends, and the number of points won is notified, so that the point suggesting effect is the precursor effect and the continuous effect ( detachment) is not hindered.

In this embodiment, when points are awarded in the first point lottery, the point suggesting effect is executed in the game in which the points are awarded. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the point suggestion effect is executed in the game after 1 to 3 games. If it is in progress, the point suggestion effect is not executed until the sign effect or the continuous effect (loss) ends, and the point suggestion effect is executed after the continuous effect (loss) ends, and the points won in the point suggestion effect. By adopting a configuration in which the number is notified, the point suggestion effect does not hinder the portent effect and the continuous effect (loss).

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment, when the first point lottery is won on the main control unit 41 side and points are awarded, if the premonition effect or continuous effect (loss) is being executed in the game, , In the point suggestion performance that is performed after the end of the continuous performance (loss), the number of points won in the first point lottery and the second point lottery that triggered the ongoing performance and continuous performance (loss) It is a configuration for notifying the number of points given by and the number of points added together. With such a configuration, it is possible to impress the player that more points have been awarded.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment, when the first point lottery is performed at the time of winning FC1-4, executes a point suggestion effect that suggests the possibility that points have been awarded, and performs the first point lottery. When points are awarded, the fact that points have been awarded is notified in the point suggestion production, and if points are not awarded in the first point lottery, points are awarded in the point suggestion production. It is the structure which reports that there was nothing. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to anticipate that points will be awarded by executing the point suggesting effect when FC1-4 are won.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment does not shift to the CZ state in a specific zone, and in a situation where points are awarded by the second point lottery, after execution of the precursor effect and continuous effect (loss), FC1 to 4 It is configured to execute a point suggesting performance common to the case where points are awarded in the first point performance at the time of winning and notify that points have been awarded. With such a configuration, in a situation where points are given by the second point lottery without shifting to the CZ state in a specific zone, FC1 to 4 are won after execution of the precursor effect or continuous effect (loss). In some cases, a point suggesting performance common to the case where points are awarded in the first point lottery is executed, and the fact that the points are awarded is notified, so that the players are effectively recognized that the points have been awarded. can be made

[Effect 2]
The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment sets the winning probability of the condition determination lottery, which is the condition for shifting to the AT state in the CZ state, from 10% to 50 as the initial value for every 100 points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section. Add to %. In addition, the main control unit 41 can control the special zone to which points are easily given, and when the special zone ends, the special zone continuation lottery is executed, and if the continuation is won, the current special zone is selected. It is possible to continue. In the special zone continuation lottery, if the last two digits of the current point number are 90 Pt or more, that is, if the lack of points for 100 Pt is 10 Pt or less, the last two digits of the current point number are In this configuration, it is easier to win the continuation of the specialized zone than in the case of less than 90 Pt, that is, in the case where the shortage of points for 100 Pt exceeds 10 Pt. By adopting such a configuration, when the point shortage for 100 Pt at the end of the special zone is 10 Pt or less, it is easy to win the continuation of the special zone, and the number of points at the end of the special zone is 100 Pt. Even if it does not reach , if the shortage is 10 Pt or less, it can be expected that the number of points will reach 100 Pt and the 10% winning probability of the continuation determination lottery will be added.

The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment executes a special zone continuation lottery at the end of the special zone, and if hiding is won, it is possible to control to the special zone again after the end of the special zone. In the special zone continuation lottery, if the last two digits of the current point number are 90 Pt or more, that is, if the lack of points for 100 Pt is 10 Pt or less, the last two digits of the current point number are It is a configuration in which hiding in the specialized zone is more likely to be won than when less than 90 Pt, that is, when the lack of points for 100 Pt exceeds 10 Pt. By adopting such a configuration, if the point shortage for 100 points at the end of the specialization zone is 10 points or less, after the end of the current specialization zone, control will be performed again to the specialization zone. Even if hiding is easy to win and the number of points does not reach 100 points at the end of the special zone, if the shortage is 10 points or less, the number of points will reach 100 points and the winning probability of the continuous judgment lottery will be added 10%. can be expected to be

In addition, in this embodiment, the winning probability of the condition determination lottery, which is the condition for shifting to the AT state in the CZ state, is added for every 100 points accumulated from the start of the advantageous section. It may be a configuration in which a privilege is granted when the number of points reaches a specific number, for example, a configuration in which the right to transition to an advantageous state such as a CZ state or an AT state is granted as a privilege, and a set value as a privilege may be suggested, and a configuration in which a special effect different from usual is executed as a privilege may be employed.

The main control unit 41 of this embodiment is configured to perform a third point lottery for each game in the specialized zone, and award points with a probability corresponding to FC0 to FC4 to which the result of the internal lottery belongs. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to change the number of points given in the specialized zone according to the FC0 to FC4 to which the result of the internal lottery for each game belongs.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment executes a point suggesting effect when the third point lottery is held in the specialized zone, and the point suggesting effect includes three types of patterns A to C, It is configured such that a pattern of point suggestive effect is selected according to the number of points given. By adopting such a configuration, since the pattern of the point suggesting effect is selected according to the number of points given, it is possible to draw attention to the pattern of the point suggesting effect.

In this embodiment, in the final game of the specialized zone, if either continuation or hiding is won in the special zone continuation lottery, there is a higher probability than if neither continuation nor hiding is won in the specialized zone continuation lottery. In this configuration, pattern B and pattern C are selected. With such a configuration, by executing the point suggestion effect in pattern B or pattern C in the final game of the specialization zone, the specialization zone continues, or after the specialization zone ends, Specialized zones can be expected to be controlled again.

The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment may not award points with a probability of 50% in the case of FC0 in games other than the final game in the specialized zone. , points are given with a probability of 100% even in the case of FC0. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the player's dissatisfaction due to points not being awarded in the final game of the specialized zone.

In this embodiment, points are awarded with a probability of 100% in the final game of the specialized zone. It may be a configuration in which points are awarded with a high probability, and even in such a configuration, points are likely to be awarded in the final game of the specialized zone, so points are not awarded in the final game of the specialized zone. Player dissatisfaction can be reduced.

[Effect 3]
The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment controls the transition to the CZ state to one of a plurality of modes with different degrees of advantage, and the sub-control unit 91 suggests the possibility of transitioning to the CZ state. It is possible to execute a continuous effect that suggests the possibility of transition to the CZ state and the possibility of transition to the CZ state, and to notify whether the transition to the CZ state will be made in the end. It is a configuration in which which of a plurality of types of modes is being controlled is suggested depending on the execution status of the continuous performance (loss) that is performed. With such a configuration, even if the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed and it is reported that the final transition to the CZ state is not made, depending on the execution status of the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss), Since the current mode is suggested, even when the premonitory effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed and it is informed that the CZ state is not finally shifted, the interest can be increased.

In this embodiment, in the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and paradise preparation mode among a plurality of types of modes, the omen effect and continuous effect (loss) can be executed in specific zones (zones 1 and 3). , In the case where the sign effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed in a situation where the transition to the CZ state does not occur in a specific zone, in the case of the normal 1 mode or the heaven preparation mode, the continuous effect out of the continuous effect A and the continuous effect B The selection rate of A is high, and in the case of normal 3 modes, the selection rate of continuous performance B is high among continuous performance A and continuous performance B. - 特許庁With such a configuration, it is possible to suggest the normal 1 mode, the heaven preparation mode, or the normal 3 mode depending on the type of continuous effect (loss) executed in a specific zone. can.

In this embodiment, the second point lottery is performed in a situation where the CZ state does not shift in a specific zone, and when points are awarded, the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed. An omen lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute the omen state and continuous production (loss) in a situation where the specific zone does not shift to the CZ state, and if the omen lottery is won, the omen production and continuous production (loss) are performed. It may be configured to execute.

In this embodiment, the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is the same regardless of whether the continuous performance A or the continuous performance B is executed. With such a configuration, even when the continuous performance A is executed and even when the continuous performance B is executed, the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is about the same, so the continuous performance A or It is possible to draw attention to the difference in suggested modes rather than the possibility of being controlled to the CZ state depending on whether it is the continuous effect B or not.

In this embodiment, the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is the same regardless of whether the continuous performance A or the continuous performance B is executed. Even if the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is similar to the case where the continuous performance B is executed, CZ We can focus on the implied mode differences rather than the state-controlled possibilities.

In this embodiment, the normal 1 mode, the normal 3 mode, and the paradise preparation mode all have a configuration in which an omen effect and a continuous effect (loss) can be executed in a plurality of zones (zones 1 and 3). With such a configuration, in the foreshadowing effect and the continuous effect (loss) executed in a plurality of zones, the type of the continuous effect is the continuous effect A or the continuous effect B, usually one mode. Alternatively, it is possible to suggest whether the game is controlled in the heaven preparation mode or in the normal 3 modes, so that the reliability of the mode suggested by the difference in the types of continuous performance (loss) can be enhanced.

In this embodiment, the average number of games until the transition to the CZ state differs depending on whether the current mode is the normal 1 mode, the paradise preparation mode, or the normal 3 mode. With such a configuration, the average number of games until the normal state ends varies depending on whether the current mode is normal 1 mode, heaven preparation mode, or normal 3 mode. ) can enhance interest by suggesting a mode by the difference in type.

In this embodiment, when the precursor effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed in the specific zones (zones 1 and 3), the mode is suggested when the continuous effect C in which the mode is not suggested is executed. In this structure, the ratio of notification of the transition to the CZ state is higher than when the continuous performance A and the continuous performance B are executed. With such a configuration, when the continuous performance C is executed, the normal 1 mode, the heaven preparation mode, or the normal 3 mode is not suggested, but the transition to the CZ state is made. can raise expectations for

In the present embodiment, the possibility of shifting to the CZ state is suggested by the predictive effect and the continuous effect in which it is notified whether or not to shift to the CZ state after the predictive effect, and the predictive effect and the continuous effect It is a configuration that suggests the normal 1 mode, the paradise preparation mode, or the normal 3 mode depending on the difference in the mode of the continuous presentation. With such a configuration, regardless of whether it is normal 1 mode, heaven preparation mode, or normal 3 mode, after suggesting the possibility of moving to the CZ state by a common sign effect, continuous Depending on the mode of presentation, it is suggested whether it is the normal 1 mode, the heaven preparation mode, or the normal 3 mode, so that attention can be paid to the mode of continuous presentation.

In this embodiment, the mode is suggested by the aspect of the continuous effect out of the portent effect and the continuous effect, but the mode is suggested by the difference in the mode of the portent effect in the portent effect and the continuous effect. Alternatively, the configuration may be such that the mode is suggested by the difference in the aspect of both the portent effect and the continuous effect.

In this embodiment, in the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven preparation mode, the sign effect and the continuous effect (loss) can be executed in specific zones (zones 1 and 3), In zones other than the zone (zones 2 and 4), the omen effect and continuous effect (loss) are not executed, but in the case of the normal 1 mode, normal 3 mode, and heaven preparation mode, in a specific zone , It may be configured that the ratio of execution of the omen effect and the continuous effect (loss) is higher than other than the specific zone. However, even in the normal 3 mode, the sign effect and the continuous effect (loss) are likely to be executed in a specific zone, so depending on the type of continuous effect (loss), it is controlled to the normal 1 mode or heaven preparation mode. This makes it easy to suggest whether the vehicle is operating normally or is normally controlled in three modes.

In this embodiment, after the start of the normal state, the continuous effect C is executed in a situation where the transition to the CZ state is not made, and when it is notified that the transition to the CZ state is not made, then the normal state is terminated and the state is changed to the CZ state. In the period until the transition to the CZ state, the continuous performance C is not selected in a situation where the transition to the CZ state is not performed, and the highest expectation is obtained multiple times during the period from the start of the normal state to the transition to the CZ state. This is a configuration in which continuous performance C is executed and notification that the state does not shift to the CZ state is restricted. With such a configuration, in a situation where the transition to the CZ state is not performed, although the continuous performance C with the highest degree of expectation is executed, the situation in which the fact that the transition to the CZ state is not performed is reported many times. can also be prevented from occurring.

In the present embodiment, when the continuous effect C is executed, the transition to the CZ state can be expected at a rate of 50%. With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively expect the transition to the CZ state by executing the continuous effect C.

In this embodiment, when the continuous effect C is executed, the configuration is such that the transition to the CZ state can be expected at a rate of 50%. By executing the continuous effect C, it is possible to more effectively expect the transition to the CZ state.

The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment, in a situation where the ceiling zone (700 to 799G (zone 8)), which always shifts to the CZ state, shifts to the CZ state, does not shift to the CZ state in other zones. In this configuration, the rate at which the continuous effect C with the highest degree of expectation is executed and the shift to the CZ state is notified is high. By adopting such a configuration, in the situation where the transition to the CZ state occurs in the ceiling zone where the transition is always made to the CZ state, the continuous effect C is executed and there is a high rate of notification of the transition to the CZ state. , the continuous effect C is executed, so that the player can be impressed that the transition to the CZ state is likely to occur.

In this embodiment, the continuous performance C is executed in a situation where the transition to the CZ state is not made after the start of the normal state, and when it is notified that the transition to the CZ state is not made, the transition to the CZ state is not made after the start of the normal state. In this configuration, the probability that the continuous performance C is selected is higher when the situation changes to the CZ state after that than when the continuous performance C is not executed in the situation. By adopting such a configuration, it is difficult to leave an impression that the state does not shift to the CZ state even if the continuous effect C is executed.

In this embodiment, depending on the number of times the omen effect and continuous effect (loss) are executed until zone 8 is reached, there is a high possibility that it is normal mode 1 or heaven preparation mode. This is the suggested configuration. With such a configuration, the current mode can be suggested by the difference in the number of times the portent effect and the continuous effect (loss) are executed.
