Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can notify a player of a plurality of operation modes by a plurality of stop operation means that are advantageous to the player, including an indicator symbol that is an indicator of the correct operation timing of the stop operation means.

Conventionally, for example, in a slot machine that is one of gaming machines, as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, in so-called assist time (AT), a 7 bell flag is internally won by an internal lottery, and a black flag is selected by reel distribution control. When a reel control pattern that allows a 7-bell win is selected, almost at the same time as the game starts, a black 7-bell ("black 7-bell-bell") win that is allowed by the selected reel control pattern is selected. There is a slot machine that displays a corresponding symbol, that is, a black 7 symbol, which is a specific symbol to be notified in the game, on a liquid crystal display (navigate to the specific symbol to be notified).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2004-283315 (paragraphs 0114 to 0126, etc.)

By the way, if there are a large number of black 7 symbols that serve as notification target specific symbols, it will be difficult for the player to see the notification target specific symbols, while if the number of black 7 symbols is small, the pull-in area for stopping the black 7 symbols on the active line will become difficult for the player. Since the size of the black 7 symbols becomes smaller (because the period of operation of the stop operation means for stopping the black 7 symbols on the activated line becomes shorter), there is a problem in that a high eye-pressing skill is required of the player.

In order to solve this problem, by configuring a symbol different from the notification target specific symbol as a payout symbol and arranging a plurality of payout symbols around the notification target specific symbol, even if the number of notification target specific symbols is small, It is now possible to increase the number of payout symbols, making it easier for the player to see the specific symbols to be notified, and it is now possible to enlarge the pull-in area for stopping the payout symbols on the active line, which increases the number of players. It is thought that eye-pushing skills will no longer be required.

However, when the player operates the stop operation means at the timing to draw the payout symbols into the active line, it is assumed that the player may sometimes see the notification target specific symbol through the display window and sometimes cannot. The user may not be able to tell from the stop result whether or not he or she was able to press the specific symbol to be notified correctly (whether or not he or she was able to operate the stop operation means at the timing to draw the payout symbol to the active line), and may feel anxious.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and when a player operates a stop operation means at the correct timing, an indicator pattern that is an indicator of the correct operation timing of the stop operation means is displayed in a predetermined manner through a display window. To provide a game machine that can avoid giving a player anxiety about whether or not he or she has operated a stop operation means at the correct timing, even if the stop operation means is sometimes visible and sometimes not within the display range. purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a casing with an open front, a front door that opens and closes the opening of the casing and has a display window, and a plurality of types of front doors. The casing has a plurality of variable display columns that variably display symbols, and a plurality of symbols are arranged within the housing so that each of the plurality of variable display columns can be viewed from the outside within a predetermined display range through the display window. a stored symbol display means, a game start operation means for starting the variable display of each of the plurality of variable display columns, and a plurality of game start operation means for stopping the variable display in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of variable display columns. In a gaming machine having a stop operation means and a performance means, the plurality of types of symbols include an indicator symbol that is an indicator of the correct operation timing of the stop operation means, and the gaming machine has a plurality of types of symbols including a specific combination group. A winning combination group is provided, and the specific combination group has a plurality of constituent parts with different benefits, and the plurality of constituent parts are selected by a specific operation mode among the plurality of operation modes by the plurality of stop operation means. Among them, the symbol combinations of advantageous combinations that give benefits advantageous to the player are arranged in an active line, and the presentation means notifies the specific operation mode when the specific combination group is won. The notification of the specific operation mode includes an indicator pattern notification in which the indicator pattern can be identified for at least one of the plurality of variable display columns; In the specific variable display column among the display columns in which the indicator symbol notification was performed, the specific stop operation means corresponding to the specific variable display column among the plurality of stop operation means is within the specific period corresponding to the indicator symbol. When operated, a specific symbol, which is a symbol different from the indicator symbol and is a symbol in the specific variable display row in the symbol combination of the advantageous combination, stops on the active line. If all notification contents of the specific operation mode are correctly followed, the symbol combination of the advantageous combination is aligned with the active line, and if the specific stop operation means is operated within the specific period. The stop result of the specific variable display row includes a first stop pattern in which the index symbol is visibly stopped within the predetermined display range depending on the operation timing within the specific period; There is a second stop pattern that does not stop visibly within the display range of It is characterized by performing a common correct answer notification effect to notify the player of the correct answer.

According to this configuration, when the specific stop operation means is operated at the correct timing, either the first stop pattern in which the indicator pattern visibly stops within the predetermined display range, or the first stop pattern in which the indicator pattern stops visibly within the predetermined display range. Regardless of the second stop pattern that does not stop visually, a common correct answer notification effect is performed, so the player targets the index symbol by the common correct answer notification effect, regardless of the stop result of the specific variable display column. Since it can be ascertained whether or not the specific stop operation means has been operated at the correct timing, it is possible to avoid giving the player anxiety about whether or not he or she has been able to operate the specific stop operation means at the correct timing.

Further, the indicator symbol notification is carried out using some of the plurality of variable display columns as the specific variable display column, but any of the plurality of variable display columns can be generated as the specific variable display column. You can do it like this.

According to this configuration, it is possible to provide a pattern in which some of the plurality of variable display columns are made into specific variable display columns and the rest are not made into specific variable display columns. Since this is possible, it is possible to suppress restrictions on the pattern arrangement in variable display columns and realize a pattern arrangement with a high degree of freedom.

Further, in the notification of the specific operation mode, the indicator symbol notification is carried out together with an operation order notification that shows the correct operation order of the plurality of stop operation means, and among the specific operation modes, Even if the operation mode of the specific stop operation means corresponding to the specific variable display column is performed correctly according to the notification of the specific operation mode, the stop operation means other than the specific stop operation means among the specific operation modes If the operation mode is not performed correctly according to the notification of the specific operation mode, the symbol combination of the advantageous combination may not be aligned with the active line.

According to this configuration, even if the player operates the specific stop operation means corresponding to the specific variable display row in which the indicator symbol notification is performed at the correct timing, the player cannot perform a specific operation on the operation mode of the stop operation means other than the specific stop operation means. If you do not do it correctly according to the notification of the pattern, the symbol combination of the advantageous combination will not line up on the active line, but it will be executed regardless of whether it stops within the predetermined display range of the indicator symbol or outside the predetermined display range. With the common correct answer notification effect, the player operates the specific stop operation means at the correct timing not only when the indicator symbol stops within the predetermined display range, but also when it stops outside the predetermined display range. Since this is known, the operation mode of the stop operation means other than the specific stop operation means can be carefully and correctly performed according to the notification of the specific operation mode, and it is possible to reliably align the advantageous combination of symbols on the active line.

Further, the plurality of stop operation means include a plurality of rear stop operations that are operated after the specific stop operation means corresponding to the specific variable display column in the correct operation order notified by the operation order notification. In the notification of the specific operation mode of the part related to the plurality of rear stop operation means of the specific operation mode, the indicator symbol notification is not performed, and the correct answer by the plurality of rear stop operation means is The operation order notification may be made so that the operation order can be known.

According to this configuration, the plurality of rear stop operation means are operated after the specific stop operation means corresponding to the specific variable display row in which the indicator symbol notification is performed, while improving the gameplay using the indicator symbol notification. In this case, it is only necessary to follow the operation order notification which has a low difficulty level, so the burden on the player to align the symbol combinations of advantageous combinations on the active line can be suppressed.

Further, the performance means is capable of performing a performance other than the common correct answer notification performance, and a method of implementing the performance other than the common correct answer notification performance is different from the first stop pattern and the second stop pattern. It is also possible to make it so that it is not common.

According to this configuration, the performance implementation methods other than the correct answer notification performance include the first stop pattern in which the index symbol stops visibly within the predetermined display range, and the first stop pattern in which the index symbol stops visibly within the predetermined display range. Since this is not common to the second stop pattern in which the index symbol is not displayed, it is possible to prompt the player to perform an operation at a more accurate timing when the index symbol stops visibly within a predetermined display range.

Further, the presentation means is capable of performing a presentation other than the common correct answer notification presentation, and a method for implementing the presentation other than the common correct answer notification presentation is such that the index symbol is set to the predetermined position in the specific variable display column. The case where the specific stop operation means is operated when the display range is within the display range and the case where the specific stop operation means is operated when the display range is not within the predetermined display range may not be the same.

According to this configuration, the performance other than the correct answer notification performance is performed when the specific stop operation means is operated when the indicator symbol is within the predetermined display range in the specific variable display column, and when the indicator symbol is within the predetermined display range. Since this is not common to the case where the specific stop operation means is operated when the indicator symbol is not in the predetermined display range, the player can be urged to operate at a more accurate timing when the indicator symbol is within the predetermined display range.

The outline of the configuration of the slot machine 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a front opening of a casing (corresponding to the ``casing'' of the present invention) 3 is openably and closably closed by a front door 5 (corresponding to the ``front door'' of the present invention). An operation plate 7 is disposed at a position approximately at the center height of the door 5, and a front plate 9 is disposed above the operation plate 7. The front panel 9 is provided with a horizontally long rectangular display window 11 (corresponding to the "display window" of the present invention), and inside the display window 11, a plurality of types of symbols are variably displayed in a predetermined order. Left, middle, and right reels (corresponding to "a plurality of variable display rows" of the present invention) consisting of rotating reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are arranged. These left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R form a display means (corresponding to the "symbol display means" of the present invention) having a plurality of variable display rows that variably display a plurality of types of symbols. - Each of the middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R forms one variable display row.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R include, for example, the symbols "Red 7", "BAR", "RP (Replay)", and "BE1". (Bell 1),” “BE2 (Bell 2),” “BE3 (Bell 3),” “WM (Watermelon),” “CH (Cherry),” “BL1 (Blank 1),” “BL2 (Blank 2) A total of 20 symbols of a plurality of types including "" are provided in a predetermined arrangement. In addition, each symbol on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is sequentially assigned a frame number from 0 to 19, and for example, symbols from frame numbers 0 to 19 are printed. A reel tape is pasted on the circumferential surface of the reel to form left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, respectively. Also, when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R rotate, a plurality of symbols appear in the display window 11 in the predetermined order of frame numbers 19, 18, ..., 0, 19, .... Displayed variably.

Then, when the rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stops, a total of nine symbols, three for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, will be visible through the display window 11. Specifically, a total of nine reels are displayed through the display window 11 on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, with three reels per reel, one each on the upper, middle, and lower rows. That is, when all of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stop, a total of nine symbols arranged in three columns and three rows are stopped and displayed on the display window 11. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2(b), among the symbols displayed on the display window 11, the middle symbols of the left reel 13L, the lower symbols of the middle reel 13M, and the upper symbols of the right reel 13R are configured. The winning line becomes the winning line (corresponding to the "active line" of the present invention), and if the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stop with the symbols of the winning combination aligned on the winning line, the winning occurs. Note that for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, the area surrounding the three symbols visible from the display window 11 corresponds to the "predetermined display range" of the present invention.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, left, middle, and right reel motors 14L, 14M, and 14R each constituted by a stepping motor are connected to the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, respectively. - The middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotated independently.

Returning to FIG. 1, the operation panel 7 includes a bet switch 15 for the player to instruct the player to insert one medal (gaming value) from the credit medals stored inside, A maximum bet switch 17 for instructing the insertion of a specified maximum number of medals (set to 3) per game (game), and the player rotates each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. A lever-shaped start switch 19 (corresponding to the "game start operation means" of the present invention) that is operated to start the variable display of each symbol allows the player to control the rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. Left, middle, and right stop switches corresponding to the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, respectively, which are operated to stop the variable display of each symbol (corresponding to the "stop operation means" of the present invention) ) 21L, 21M, 21R, a settlement switch 23 for the player to instruct the payout of credit medals, and a medal slot 25 are provided. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the number of medals (specified number) required for one game (game) is set to two types: 3 medals and 2 medals. In this way, it is possible to play games using medals. In this embodiment, a slot machine 1 that uses medals as gaming value will be described as an example of a gaming machine according to the present invention, but not only medals, but other gaming media or electronic data can also be used as gaming value. The present invention may be applied to gaming machines.

In addition, approximately in the upper center of the front panel 9, a video or the like is displayed to notify players of winnings and prizes, and left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R necessary for winning a prize are displayed. A liquid crystal display 27 is provided for performing effects such as informing operation modes, and an explanation panel 29 on which various winning symbols are displayed is provided immediately above the liquid crystal display 27. Speakers 31L and 31R are provided on the left and right sides of the explanation panel 29, respectively, for producing effects such as music and audio. Note that speakers 31L and 31R are also provided on the left and right sides of a medal payout port 39, which will be described later.

Further, a central lamp section 33M is provided on the upper side of the explanation panel 29 and the speakers 31L, 31R, and left and right lamp sections 33L, 33R are provided on the left and right sides of the center lamp section 33M, respectively. Light sources such as light emitting diodes are provided in the center, left, and right lamp sections 33M, 33L, and 33R, respectively. These center, left, and right lamp portions 33M, 33L, and 33R are integrally formed and constitute an upper lamp portion 33 for performing effects such as notifying the player of winnings and winnings.

Further, a lower panel 35 on which a decorative picture or the like is displayed is provided below the operation panel 7, and on the left and right sides of the lower panel 35, a lower lamp section has a plurality of light sources arranged in two rows, for example. 37L and 37R are provided. Further, below the lower panel 35, a medal payout port 39 and a medal receiver 41 for receiving medals paid out from the medal payout port 39 are provided. Further, in the lower right corner of the front plate 9, a figure (not shown) indicating the position of the winning line with respect to the three reels is drawn, and in the lower left corner of the front plate 9, the main control board 63 mounted on the main control board 63 in FIG. Under display control by the CPU 61, a credit display 45 for displaying the number of stored credit medals and a payout display 46 for displaying the number of medals to be paid out are provided. This credit display device 45 is composed of, for example, two 7-segment displays, and can display the number of stored credits (up to 50 credits) in two digits. Further, the payout display 46 is composed of, for example, two 7-segment displays, and is capable of displaying a two-digit number of payout coins. Note that a 7-segment display is formed into a bar shape and has a total of eight segments, including seven segments arranged in a figure 8 shape and one small round segment DP that serves as a decimal point. , and each segment is composed of a light emitting diode. Note that the payout display 46 is also used to display an error code corresponding to an error that has occurred.

An advantageous section lamp 47 is arranged above the credit display 45. The advantageous section is the operating mode (correct answer) that will give you an advantageous payout when winning the winning combination group "ATALC" (lower role number $0E: see Figure 10) to "ATBRC" (lower role number $19: see Figure 10). This is a section in which it is permitted to notify the user of the operating mode), and by lighting the advantageous section lamp 47, it is notified that it is an advantageous section. In this embodiment, the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned on at the timing of transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section. Note that the advantageous section lamp 47 does not necessarily have to be turned on during the advantageous section; for example, it may be turned on when a predetermined lighting condition is satisfied after the transition to the advantageous section. However, once the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned on, it remains lit until the advantageous section ends and the vehicle shifts to a non-advantageous section. The predetermined lighting condition is, for example, when the winning combination group "ATALC" (lower role number $0E: see FIG. 10) to "ATBRC" (lower role number $19: see FIG. 10) moves to an advantageous section. In a game where the correct operation mode is sometimes announced for the first time, it can be set as appropriate before the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R of the game becomes effective. Note that instead of providing the advantageous section lamp 47 individually, the segment DP of the payout indicator 46 may be used as the advantageous section lamp. Below, the winning role groups "ATALC", "ATBLC", "ATALR", "ATBLR", "ATACL", "ATBCL", "ATACR", "ATBCR", "ATARL", "ATBRL", "ATARC", " ATBRC" (lower hand numbers $0E to $19: see FIG. 10) may be collectively referred to as the push order bell. Note that some of the pressing order bells ("ATALC", "ATBLC", "ATALR", "ATBLR", "ATARL", "ATARC") correspond to the "specific role group" of the present invention.

Further, a support frame body that supports each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R is fixed to the rear wall inside the housing 3. A hopper unit 43 (see FIG. 3) for discharging medals to the medal payout port 39 is disposed below the support frame within the housing 3. Further, on the back side near the medal slot 25, there is a medal selector 48 (see FIG. 3) that selects whether the medals inserted into the medal slot 25 are genuine or not and guides only genuine medals to the hopper unit 43. ) are provided. Note that a medal passage (not shown) is provided inside the housing 3, and medals rejected as irregular medals by the medal selector 48 and medals dispensed from the hopper unit 43 pass through this medal passage. The medals are paid out from the medal payout port 39. Specifically, although not particularly shown in the drawings, the medal selector 48 stores medals inserted through the medal slot 25 in the hopper unit 43 by operating a rail section by driving a cancellation coil using an electromagnet. It is formed so that it is possible to switch between the passage and the passage leading from the medal payout port 39 to the medal receiver 41. Thereby, it is possible to switch between storing the medals inserted through the medal slot 25 as credit medals or paying them out to the medal receiver 41. However, for example, when the number of stored medals reaches the maximum number of stored medals or during a game, the rail part is not operated by the cancellation coil and the medals inserted into the medal slot 25 are ejected to the medal payout port 39. In cases other than these, the rail section is activated by the drive of the cancellation coil under drive control by the main CPU 61 mounted on the main control board 63 in FIG. 3, and the medals inserted into the medal slot 25 are not genuine. Only genuine medals are guided to the hopper unit 43.

As shown in FIG. 3, an insertion sensor 53 is provided in the medal selector 48 near the medal insertion slot 25 inside the housing 3, and the insertion sensor 53 detects the medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 25 one by one. . This input sensor 53 is formed by three sensors, selector sensor A, selector sensor B, and selector sensor C, provided in the medal passage, and the inserted medals are detected in the order of selector sensor C, selector sensor A, and selector sensor B. and is arranged to be detected at time intervals (timings) within a predetermined range. A payout sensor 54 is provided at the exit of the hopper unit 43, and the payout sensor 54 detects the medals paid out to the medal payout port 39 one by one. Two of the dispensing sensors 54, dispensing sensor A and dispensing sensor B, are arranged with a predetermined distance apart. In the timing chart when medals pass in a normal state, when the hopper motor 57 is being driven (on state), both payout sensors A and B can shift to the on state. Further, the dispensing sensor B is set to shift from the off state to the on state twice, and when the dispensing sensor B is turned on for the first time, the dispensing sensor A shifts from the off state to the on state, and the dispensing sensor The dispensing sensor A is arranged so as to shift from the on state to the off state when B is turned on for the second time.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an operation box 50 is provided, including a power switch 50a for turning the power on and off, a key cylinder type setting change key switch 50b, and a push button type setting change button 50c (reset switch). ) is provided. Furthermore, since the operation box 50 is disposed inside the housing 3, it cannot be operated unless the front door 5 is opened. The settings can be changed by changing the setting value of the winning probability (from setting 1 6) is the process for setting.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a set value display 56 is provided, and the set value display 56 is composed of, for example, one 7-segment display, and includes a set value of a one-digit winning probability (specifically, , 1 to 6). A 7-segment display is formed into a bar shape and has a total of eight segments, including seven segments arranged in a figure 8 shape and one small round segment that serves as a decimal point. Each segment is made up of a light emitting diode. The setting value display 56 displays the setting value of the slot machine 1, but it is provided inside the housing 3, specifically on the back of the front door 5, so that it cannot be seen from the outside. After setting the set value, the display is cleared.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a door sensor (door opening/closing switch) 58 is provided, and the door sensor 58 is installed on the housing 3 side, and detects whether the front door 5 is closed or not. This is a sensor to detect whether For example, when the front door 5 is closed, the contact sensor turns the door sensor 58 into an ON state (ON state) when the back of the front door 5 and the front of the door sensor 58 come close to each other. As the front door 5 opens, the back surface of the front door 5 separates from the front surface of the door sensor 58, and the contact sensor turns the door 58 into an OFF state. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the contact sensor, and the opening and closing of the front door 5 may be detected using an optical sensor, a magnetic sensor, or the like.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, left, middle, and right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R are provided to detect the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, respectively. The position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R are, for example, photo interrupters that detect protrusions provided on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, respectively, and when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R rotate. , detects the protrusion every round and outputs the detection signal to the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63. In this embodiment, for example, when the left, middle, and right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R detect a protrusion, the symbol with frame number 19 is positioned in the middle of the display window 11, respectively.

The hopper motor 57 shown in FIG. 3 is disposed in the hopper unit 43, and is driven to dispense medals toward the medal dispensing port 39. The overflow sensor 57a is provided near an auxiliary tank for storing medals overflowing from the medal tank of the hopper unit 43, and detects that the medals in the auxiliary tank are full. It outputs a signal to the main CPU 61 of the control board 63.

Furthermore, an external centralized terminal board 59 is provided inside the housing 3 . The external centralized terminal board 59 receives, for example, AT information output as an AT signal (first AT signal, second AT signal), information on the number of inserted medals output as an input signal, and medal payout output as a payout signal. It outputs game data such as number of coins information to the outside of the slot machine 1, and is connected to a connection terminal (connector) that is wired to the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63 and a connection terminal (connector) that is wired to an external device (not shown). This is a terminal board equipped with a connector. Although not shown, the external centralized terminal board 59 is connected to game island equipment (for example, a data display) and a hall computer. Note that the game island equipment (for example, a data display) and the hall computer correspond to external devices to be connected via the external centralized terminal board 59, which will be described later.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a main control board 63 on which a main CPU 61 is mounted that controls the progress of the game, and a performance is controlled in accordance with the progress of the game based on information transmitted from the main control board 63. A sub-control board 73 on which a sub-CPU 71 is mounted is provided separately, and various data are unidirectionally transmitted from the main control board 63 to the sub-control board 73. The main control board 63 is housed in a board case to prevent unauthorized access from the outside, and is tightly sealed so that the board case cannot be opened without leaving traces. There is. Further, various measures are taken for the board case to ensure that it is visually recognized that the board case has been opened illegally.

Further, the ROM 67 of the main control board 63 has a storage capacity inside the main CPU 61, and stores a gaming machine program (a program for the slot machine 1) including preset data. In addition, in this embodiment, the ROM 67 includes, in addition to the program data necessary for executing the game, a lottery table 671, a stop table 672, a scenario lottery table 673, a number of unlocked games determination table 674, a CZ point lottery table 675, and a high-accuracy lottery table 674. Various data such as a transition lottery table 676, a CZ pre-AT lottery table 677, a CZ mid-AT lottery table 678, and an additional lottery table 679 are stored (see FIG. 4). In addition, the RWM 65 includes a setting value storage area 651, a winning lottery result storage area 652, a flag storage means 653, a CZ cumulative point storage area 654, a CZ game number counter 655, an advantageous section game number counter 656, an increased medal number counter 657, A scenario storage area 658, a canceled game counter 659, an AT level storage area 660, etc. are set (see FIG. 4).

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the main control board 63 is provided with a ratio display device (rotation ratio monitor) 69 composed of four display components. This ratio display 69 is mounted on a main control board 63 in a board case installed inside the housing 3 and above the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. It is placed in a position that is visible from the outside when opened. The ratio display 69 consists of four 7-segment displays that are display parts, and the 7-segment display is formed into a bar shape, and has seven segments arranged in a figure 8 shape and a decimal point. It has a total of eight segments, each consisting of one small round segment, and each segment is made up of a light emitting diode. Switch control is performed by the main CPU 61 to control turning on and off of the light emitting diode, and VDD and GND are supplied to at least one of the anode and cathode of the light emitting diode via the switch. Note that the ratio display 69 displays, for example, the percentage of the number of coins paid out for accessory objects to the total number of coins paid out, and the percentage of the number of consecutive coins paid out for accessory objects to the total number of coins paid out, for example. In a gaming machine equipped with an AT game, the percentage of the number of coins paid out by the AT winning combination (pushing winning combination) to the total number of coins paid out may be displayed.

Returning to FIG. 3, the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63 described above has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and controls the progress of the game by executing the gaming machine program stored in the ROM 67. Perform processing. The main CPU 61 stores data related to winning lottery results in lottery processing by winning lottery means 103, which will be described later, data regarding operations of left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, start switch 19, etc. operated by players, etc. various data in command format to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71).

(Main control board)
Next, the main control board 63 will be explained in detail.

As shown in FIG. 4, the main CPU 61 mounted on the main control board 63 performs various functions realized by executing programs stored in the ROM 67 and various functions realized by controlling hardware. It has the following functions.

(1) Game control means 100
The game control means 100 in FIG. 4 controls the game of the slot machine 1 in one of a plurality of preset game states, and controls the operation mode determining means 100a and the game state setting means 100b. We are prepared. Specifically, the game control means 100 executes a general game in the normal game state (initial RT (NOM), inside RBB1 (RBB1F), inside RBB2 (RBB2F)), and wins the bonus combination "RBB1". A bonus game is executed in a bonus game state (RBB1) which is entered upon winning a prize, and a bonus game state (RBB2) which is entered upon a win of a bonus combination "RBB2".

a) Operation mode determining means 100a
The operation mode determining means 100a in FIG. 4 determines whether the player operates the slot machine 1 or not, and whether the player presses or presses the slot machine 1 for a long time. Various operations on the slot machine 1 by the player, such as how the player operates various switches such as the middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, and how the player inserts medals into the medal slot 25. Determine the aspect of.

b) Game state setting means 100b
The game state setting means 100b sets a plurality of preset game states based on the result of the role lottery process by the role lottery means 103, the determination result of symbol combinations on the active line (winning line) by the symbol determination means 107, etc. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set to any one of them.

Hereinafter, the transition of the gaming state will be explained with reference to FIG. In the initial RT (NOM), in the case of a 3-piece bet, the bonus role "RBB1" in Figure 7 (the winning combination group "RBBA" in Figure 9) is subject to the lottery, but the bonus role "RBB1" in Figure 7 is the target of the lottery. RBB2" (winning combination group "RBBB" in FIG. 9) is not subject to the winning combination lottery. In addition, inside bonuses (RBB1F, RBB2F) are in a state where the winnings of the won bonus winnings ("RBB1" or "RBB2") are carried over, and new bonus winnings ("RBB1" or "RBB2") are carried over. There is no election to. In addition, in this embodiment, in each gaming state, a lottery value that defines the probability of winning is set for each winning combination group consisting of a plurality of winning combinations, and the validity of the winning combination lottery is determined for each winning combination group. (See Figures 9 and 10). The composition of each winning combination group will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the winning combination group "RBBA" is won in the initial RT (NOM) 3-card bet and a prize is won in the game, the gaming state setting means 100b changes the gaming state to the bonus gaming state (RBB1). ), and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB1).

In the bonus game state (RBB1), the probability of winning the replay winning combination is 0, and only the winning combination groups "ALL" and "ACL" are subject to the winning combination lottery, and the predetermined RBB 1 termination condition is met. Then it ends. When the RBB1 termination condition is satisfied, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to initial RT (NOM), and the gaming state shifts to initial RT (NOM). In this embodiment, "payout of more than 110 medals" is set as the predetermined RBB1 end condition, but this can be changed as appropriate.

If the winning combination group "RBBA" is won in the initial RT (NOM) 3-coin bet, but no prize is won in the game, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to inside bonus (RBB1F). , the gaming state shifts to inside bonus (RBB1F). In the bonus game state (RBB1F), if you bet 3 coins, all re-gaming combinations (winning combination groups "NRP", "RRP", "SRP", "WRP", "TRP", "CH1", "CH2") ”, “SP1”, “SP2”: see Figure 9), minor roles (all minor roles except the winning role group “ALL”: see Figures 9 and 10) are subject to the lottery, and two In the case of betting, replaying roles (winning role group "NRP" only: see Figure 9) and minor roles (all minor roles except winning role group "ALL": see Figures 9 and 10) are subject to the lottery. It becomes.

When a carried-over bonus combination "RBB1" (winning combination group "RBBA") is won in a 3-coin bet within the bonus (RBB1F), the gaming state setting means 100b changes the gaming state to the bonus gaming state (RBB1). setting, and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB1). In the bonus gaming state (RBB1), when the above-mentioned RBB1 end condition is satisfied, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the initial RT (NOM), and the gaming state shifts to the initial RT (NOM). In addition, when betting 2 coins in the inside bonus (RBB1F), the carryover bonus combination "RBB1" (winning combination group "RBBA") does not win, and once it moves to the inside bonus (RBB1F), the gaming state changes. It is configured so that the game does not shift to another gaming state unless the bet is 3 coins, except when the game is reset.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the winning combination group "RBBB" is won in the initial RT (NOM) two-coin bet and a prize is won in the game, the gaming state setting means 100b changes the gaming state to the bonus gaming state (RBBB2). ), and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB2).

In the bonus game state (RBB2), the winning probability of the replay winning combination is 0, only the winning combination groups "ALL" and "ACL" are subject to the winning combination lottery, and the predetermined RBB 2 termination condition is satisfied. Then it ends. When the RBB2 termination condition is satisfied, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to initial RT (NOM), and the gaming state shifts to initial RT (NOM). In this embodiment, "payout of more than five medals" is set as the predetermined RBB2 end condition, but this can be changed as appropriate.

When the winning combination group "RBBB" is won in the initial RT (NOM) two-copy bet, but no prize is won in the game, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to inside bonus (RBB2F). , the gaming state shifts to inside bonus (RBB2F). In the bonus game state (RBB2F), if you bet 3 coins, all re-gaming combinations (winning combination groups "NRP", "RRP", "SRP", "WRP", "TRP", "CH1", "CH2") ”, “SP1”, “SP2”: see Figure 9), minor roles (all minor roles except the winning role group “ALL”: see Figures 9 and 10) are subject to the lottery, and two In the case of betting, replaying roles (winning role group "NRP" only: see Figure 9) and minor roles (all minor roles except winning role group "ALL": see Figures 9 and 10) are subject to the lottery. It becomes.

When a carried-over bonus combination "RBB2" (winning combination group "RBBB") is won in a 2-coin bet within the bonus (RBB2F), the gaming state setting means 100b changes the gaming state to the bonus gaming state (RBB2). setting, and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB2). In the bonus gaming state (RBB2), when the above-mentioned RBB2 termination condition is satisfied, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the initial RT (NOM), and the gaming state shifts to the initial RT (NOM). In addition, when betting 3 coins in the inside bonus (RBB2F), the carryover bonus combination "RBB2" (winning combination group "RBBB") does not win, and once it moves to the inside bonus (RBB2F), the gaming state changes. It is configured such that the game does not shift to any other gaming state except when a two-coin bet is made, unless the game is reset.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. ", "WRP", "TRP", "CH1", "CH2", "SP1", "SP2": see Figure 9), small roles (winning role groups "WMN", "ACL", "BEL", " A lottery to move to an advantageous section (advantageous section transfer lottery) will be held only if you win the "Press Order Bell" (see Figures 9 and 10), and in other game states or games with two bets, a lottery to transfer to an advantageous section will be held. Not done. In addition, in this embodiment, the winning probability for the advantageous section transition lottery is set to 100%, and the above-mentioned winning combination group is set in the non-advantageous section (initial RT (NOM) or 3-piece bet inside the bonus (RBB2F)). If you win any of the above, the system is configured so that you will always move to the advantageous section, but there may be cases where you do not move to the advantageous section. In addition, below, the winning combination groups "NRP", "RRP", "SRP", "WRP", "TRP", "CH1", "CH2", "SP1", "SP2" that are subject to the advantageous section transition lottery will be explained. '', ``WMN'', ``ACL'', ``BEL'', and ``Push Order Bell'' may be collectively referred to as an advantageous section transition combination.

In addition, in this embodiment, in addition to the bonus game states (RBB1, RBB2) that are advantageous to the player, the operating modes of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R (in the correct pressing order The device is equipped with a so-called AT function that notifies you of (correct operation order) and correct push position (correct operation timing) (corresponding to the "specific operation mode" of the present invention). Hereinafter, the gameplay regarding AT will be explained with reference to FIG. 6.

In this embodiment, there is an advantageous section in which the AT game, which is a game in which the correct operation mode is notified when the push order bell is won, is allowed, and a non-advantageous section in which it is not allowed. If the settings are changed, it will become a non-advantageous section. If an advantageous section transfer combination is won in the initial RT (NOM) of the non-advantageous section or the 3-card bet inside the bonus (RBB2F), the advantageous section will start from the next game. In addition, in an advantageous section, if the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit (1500 games), or if the number of increased medals in the advantageous section exceeds the upper limit (2400), you will not be eligible for the advantageous section continuation lottery described below. If you win, or if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery, but a predetermined forced termination condition described below is satisfied, or in any of the following cases, you will move to a non-advantageous section.

If you win the advantageous section transfer combination, you win the advantageous section transfer lottery, but at this time, the scenario lottery and the number of unlocked games lottery, which will be described later, are also conducted. The scenario is used to determine the unlocked games, determine the AT mode related to additional performance such as the number of additional games during the AT period, and pre-draw a lottery for transition to the AT period in the CZ (Chance Zone), which will be described later. In this embodiment, one of scenarios 1 to 6 is determined at the time of transition to an advantageous section. Here, the number of unlocked games determines the number of games to transition to the CZ preparation state, and if the number of unlocked games is played after transitioning from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, the number of unlocked games will be changed to the CZ preparation state (15 After passing through the game), CZ will be awarded.

When the state shifts to an advantageous section, the state shifts to the normal state of the advantageous section. In the normal state, a CZ point award lottery (CZ point award lottery) is performed every game according to the winning combination lottery result. The CZ points are used to determine the number of consecutive games in the CZ (Chance Zone), and will be described in detail later. In addition, in the normal state, a lottery for moving to a high point zone is held in every game. The point high certainty zone is a zone where a CZ point award lottery is held according to the lottery result of each game role, and the lottery table used for the CZ point award lottery (CZ point lottery table 675: see Figure 4) is more advantageous than in the normal state. It becomes. That is, in the high point certainty zone, the probability of winning the CZ point award lottery is higher than in the normal state, and the value of the CZ points awarded when winning is also set to be large. Note that the high point certainty zone may be more advantageous than the normal state in terms of awarding CZ points.

After playing 5 games in a high point zone, the game returns to normal. However, if the number of games to be released is reached while the point high certainty zone is being played, the state shifts to the CZ preparation state even if it is still in the middle. Note that if the number of games to be released is reached while the point high certainty zone is being played, the state may be shifted to the CZ preparation state after playing five games.

When the number of canceled games is reached in the normal state, or when the number of canceled games is reached in the above-mentioned high point certainty zone, the state shifts to the CZ preparation state. The CZ preparation state continues for 15 games, and a CZ point award lottery is held for each game. The CZ point award lottery in the CZ preparation state is performed using a lottery table (CZ point lottery table 675: see FIG. 4) according to the winning combination lottery results. In this embodiment, the probability of winning the CZ point award lottery in the CZ preparation state and the number of points awarded at the time of winning are more advantageous than in the normal state and the point high probability zone. Regarding the point award lottery, it may be more advantageous than the normal state but disadvantageous than the point high probability zone.

After playing 15 games in the CZ preparation state, you will move to the CZ (chance zone). In CZ, a lottery to transition to the AT period (AT lottery) is held, and if you win, you will transition to the AT period after the end. When the start switch 19 is pressed after inserting a specified number of medals in the first game of the AT period, the game enters a freeze state and a notification performance (pseudo game) of the initial game is performed. After the performance, the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R rotate normally, and the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the first game during the AT period becomes effective. In CZ, an AT lottery is held at the time of transition to CZ (CZ pre-AT lottery), and it is also held in every game while using CZ (AT lottery during CZ). Note that the number of consecutive games of CZ is determined based on the cumulative value of CZ points awarded before shifting to CZ. In this embodiment, one game is awarded for every 1000 CZ points. Therefore, for example, if the cumulative total of CZ points given before shifting to CZ is 10,000 points, the number of consecutive games of CZ will be 10,000÷1,000=10 games. Regarding the number of consecutive games of CZ, for example, even if the number of CZ points awarded before switching to CZ is less than 1000 points, 5 games will be awarded as the number of consecutive games of CZ. A minimum number of consecutive games may be set as the number of consecutive games.

When winning the AT lottery at the time of transition to CZ (CZ pre-AT lottery), a notification performance (AT winning notification performance) is performed to notify the winning of the AT lottery in a predetermined number of games during the CZ. Also, if you win an AT lottery during CZ (AT lottery during CZ), an AT winning notification performance will be performed in the winning game. However, if the CZ medium AT lottery is won before the number of games predetermined by the CZ advance AT lottery has been played, an AT winning notification effect will be performed in the game that won the CZ medium AT lottery.

In CZ, if a candidate does not win in the CZ pre-AT lottery and the CZ ends without winning in the CZ mid-AT lottery, an advantageous section continuation lottery will be held. If you win the advantageous section continuation lottery, you basically continue the advantageous section and transition to the normal state. At this time, the number of canceled games is newly determined. However, even if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery, if a predetermined forced termination condition described below is met, the advantageous section ends and you move to a non-advantageous section. On the other hand, if the lottery for continuation of the advantageous section is not won, the advantageous section ends and a transition is made to the non-advantageous section (see FIG. 13).

After winning the AT lottery in CZ and performing an AT winning notification effect on the CZ end screen, an initial number of games notification effect is performed to notify the initial number of games in the AT period. In the initial game number notification effect, a pseudo game is performed in which the reels repeatedly rotate and stop, and the initial number of games is suggested by the way each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stops in the pseudo game, and after the pseudo game ends, the liquid crystal display The initial number of games is displayed by the device 27. The initial number of games notified at this time may be all or a part of the actually determined initial number of games. Here, the notification of a certain number of games is, for example, notification that the initial number of games is 50 games when the initial number of games is determined to be 80 games. In this case, the number of remaining games will be reported at a predetermined timing after the notification.

When the initial game number is displayed, the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R start rotating normally, and the actual AT period begins. Basically, the AT period lasts for the initial number of games, and if a lottery with an additional number of games is won before the initial number of games is played, the AT period is extended by the number of games.

When the AT period ends, a pullback lottery will be held. If this lottery is won, the initial number of games is determined again and the AT period returns. On the other hand, if you do not win the pullback lottery, an advantageous section continuation lottery will be held. If you win the advantageous section continuation lottery, the advantageous section basically continues and you transition to the normal state. At this time, the number of canceled games is newly determined. However, even if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery, if a predetermined forced termination condition is met, the advantageous section ends and you move to a non-advantageous section. In the case of not winning the advantageous section continuation lottery, the advantageous section ends and shifts to the non-advantageous section (see FIG. 13).

When the number of medals increases by 2,000 or more during the AT period, the AT period continues until the number of medals increases to 2,400 or the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit (1,500 games). When the ending ends, the advantageous section ends and you move to the non-advantageous section. Further, during the AT period, if the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit (1500 games) before the number of medals increases to 2000 or more, the advantageous section ends and the game shifts to a non-advantageous section.

Here, an example of the normal game flow will be explained. In this embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured so that one game (one game) is played with three or two medals, and a bet number counter (not shown) indicates the number of inserted medals to three. memorize up to. When three medals are inserted by the input sensor 53, bet switch 15 or maximum bet switch 17, the winning lines of the display window 11 (left reel 13L: middle row, middle reel 13M: lower row, right reel 13R: upper row (Fig. 2) (see (b))) shall be valid. Then, when the start switch 19 is operated with the condition of inserting the specified number of three or two medals, the winning combination means 103 determines whether or not a plurality of winning combinations (lottery results) set in advance have been won. A lottery will be held. Here, the main control board 63 starts the rotation of all the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, and displays the symbols of each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R displayed on the display window 11 on each reel 13L, 13M. , 13R.

Thereafter, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are accelerated, and the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are set to predetermined reference positions by the left, middle, and right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R. When this is detected and all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R rotate at a constant speed, the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R become valid. After the operation of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R becomes valid, when the left stop switch 21L is operated, the left reel 13L stops, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated, the middle reel 13M stops, and the right When the stop switch 21R is operated, the right reel 13R stops. In this way, by operating each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, the rotation of the left, middle, and right reel 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped.

Then, when all three left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, the rotation of each left, middle, and right reel 13L, 13M, and 13R is stopped. At this time, a predetermined symbol is placed at a predetermined position on the winning line (left reel 13L: middle row, middle reel 13M: lower row, right reel 13R: upper row (see FIG. 2(b))) of the activated display window 11. If it stops at , you win a prize. Then, the number of medals depending on the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payout port 39. Further, in place of or in addition to the payout of medals, a predetermined profit may be given to the player.

Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, "RBB1" and "RBB2" are used as bonus combinations, and "NRP1" to "NRP26" and "BRP1" to "BRP17" are used as replay combinations. , "CRP1" to "CRP44", "KRP1", "KRP2", "SP1" to "SP26", minor roles "AT1" to "AT40", "BE1" to "BE4", "KO1" to "KO52" ", "WM1" to "WM4" are set in advance.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 in FIG. 4 makes settings (settings 1 to 6) for adjusting the payout rate (total number of coins to be paid out ÷ total number of inserted medals x 100 [%]) based on a predetermined setting change operation. This is to change the

Here, an example of a setting change operation for changing a setting value will be described. For example, when the setting change key switch 50b (setting key) is turned on before the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting change process is started. At this time, if you press the setting change button 50c (reset switch) once, the setting value that was set before the power was turned on will be temporarily set to the next higher setting value (for example, setting 3 will be temporarily set to setting 4). . After that, each time the setting change button 50c is pressed, the setting value is temporarily set to the next higher setting value. However, if the setting change button 50c is pressed when the temporary setting value is 6, the setting value returns to 1 and is temporarily set. Finally, the set value is determined by turning on the start switch 19, and the provisional set value at that time becomes the set value of the slot machine 1. Note that, when the setting is changed, the setting control means 101 rewrites the setting value stored in the setting value storage area 651 with the changed setting value.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 in FIG. 4 controls the type of game (initial RT (NOM), inside bonus (RBB1F, RBB2F), bonus game status (RBB1, RBB2)) controlled by the game control means 100, and setting control. One lottery table is selected from the plurality of lottery tables 671 based on the setting values (settings 1 to 6) set by the means 101. For example, in the initial RT (NOM) game, the table selection means 102 selects the lottery table 671 (initial RT utility lottery table) as the lottery table according to the winning probability setting value (setting 1 to setting 6). .

(4) Role lottery means 103
The role lottery means 103 in FIG. 4 selects any one of the plurality of role lottery results including preset winning group wins and losses as the role lottery result in the current game, using random numbers and the table selection means 102. The selection is made by a lottery process using the selected lottery table 671. Here, in each lottery table 671, a correspondence relationship between a random number value and each winning combination lottery result is defined. Specifically, for example, in each lottery table 671, a random number generated by a random number generation means 103a, which will be described later, is defined. Data indicating areas to which each winning combination lottery result is associated within the entire range is stored.

a) Random number generation means 103a
The random number generating means 103a in FIG. 4 generates random numbers for lottery within a predetermined random value range. Further, the random number generating means 103a can be configured by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts the clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number). Note that the random number generating means 103a can also be configured by, for example, means for generating random numbers by an average counting method, or means for generating random numbers by adding prime numbers. These means can be configured, for example, by causing the main CPU 61 to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random numbers). Note that both hard random numbers and soft random numbers may be provided, and the random numbers may be generated software based on the results thereof.

b) Random number extraction means 103b
The random number extraction means 103b in FIG. 4 extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means 103a, and extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means 103a under predetermined conditions. This random number extraction means 103b extracts a random number value used in the lottery process of the winning combination lottery means 103 in the current game at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated.

Further, since the random number generating means 103a is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical values generated by the random number generating means 103a are not strictly random numbers. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extracting means 103b can essentially be treated as a random number.

c) Lottery result determining means 103c
The lottery result determining means 103c in FIG. 4 determines the winning combination lottery result in the current game based on the random number extracted by the random number extracting means 103b in the current game, and the game status and setting values in the current game. This lottery result determining means 103c refers to the lottery table 671 corresponding to the current gaming state and setting value selected by the table selection means 102, and the random number value extracted by the random number extracting means 103b is defined by the lottery table 671. The winning combination lottery result in the current game is determined by determining to which region the random number values corresponding to the winning combination lottery results belong.

In this embodiment, a plurality of winning combination groups consisting of one or a plurality of winning combinations are set, and a winning combination lottery is performed for each winning combination group. For example, the winning role groups are "RBBA", "RBBB", "NRP", "RRP", "SRP", "WRP", "TRP", "CH1", "CH2", "SP1", "SP2". , "WMN", "ALL", "ACL", "BEL", and the push order bell (winning role group "ATALC: Lower role number $0E" to "ATBRC: Lower role number $19") are set ( (See Figure 10).

In addition, if you win a winning combination group consisting of multiple combinations, you will be allowed to win for all the constituent combinations, and depending on the operation mode of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, you can win either Either you will win the constituent role, or you will be left out.

Further, each winning combination group is associated with a unique higher winning combination number or lower winning combination number in hexadecimal (see FIGS. 9 and 10). Based on the winning combination result of the winning combination means 103, if the winning winning combination group is associated with a high ranking winning combination number, then the winning winning combination result is stored. It is stored in the upper storage area of area 652. Further, if a lower winning combination number is associated with the winning winning combination group, the lower winning winning combination number associated with the winning winning combination group is stored in the lower storage area of the winning winning combination result storage area 652.

In this embodiment, the winning lottery result storage area 652 is allocated to the RWM 65 as a 2-byte data area, and the winning lottery result storage area 652 is a winning lottery result related to bonus winnings, each of which is allocated with a 1-byte data area. It has an upper storage area for storing results and a lower storage area for storing winning lottery results regarding small winning combinations and replay winning combinations.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, if the winning combination group "RBBA" consisting of the bonus combination "RBB1" is won, "$01", which is associated with the winning combination, is stored in the top memory. stored in the area. Furthermore, if the winning combination group "RBBB" consisting of the bonus combination "RBB2" is won, "$02" associated with the winning combination is stored in the upper storage area. Note that if neither of the winning combination groups "RBBA" and "RBBB" is won, the result is HZ (loss) and "$00" is stored in the upper storage area.

In addition, if you win one of the winning role groups consisting of small roles and replaying roles, one of "$01" to "$19" associated with each winning role group will be stored in the lower memory. (See FIGS. 9 and 10). In addition, if none of the winning combination groups made up of the small winning combination and the replaying winning combination is won, the result is HZ (loss) and "$00" is stored in the lower storage area.

(5) Reel detection means 105
The reel detection means 105 in FIG. 4 uses the detection signals of the left, middle, and right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R, and the left, middle, and right reel motors 14L, 14M that drive the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. , 14R, the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected, respectively. This reel detection means 105 corresponds to a symbol located at a predetermined reference position (in this embodiment, for example, the middle stage of the display window 11) when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and when they are stopped. Detect each frame number.

(6) Reel rotation control means 106
The reel rotation control means 106 in FIG. 4 is configured to control the excitation phase of each reel motor 14L, 14M, 14R to individually control the rotation of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. When the player operates the start switch 19, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the excitation phase of each reel motor 14L, 14M, 14R to start rotation of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. Furthermore, the reel rotation control means 106 uses a stop table 672 to control the stop of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R based on the operations of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, respectively. The symbols variably displayed by the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped in a display mode corresponding to the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103. This reel rotation control means 106 controls the left, middle, and right reels 13L for each game based on the winning combination result determined by the lottery result determining means 103c and the operation mode of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. , 13M, and 13R.

As for the stop table 672 for determining the stop positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, a plurality of tables are set corresponding to the winning lottery results of the winning lottery means 103. The stop table 672 controls the left, middle, and right reels according to the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated. The number of sliding pieces for 13L, 13M, and 13R is predetermined, and corresponds to the pressing order of the corresponding left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, respectively. The number of sliding frames is different.

Furthermore, if the winning combination result of the winning combination selection means 103 is a win for any of the winning combinations, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the stop table 672 selected based on the winning combination result, and the left, middle, and right stops. Winning prizes are determined based on the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when the switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, and the order in which the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed. The number of sliding pieces for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is determined, and stop control for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed. On the other hand, if the winning combination lottery result by the winning combination lottery means 103 is a loss, the reel rotation control means 106 selects the stop table 672 selected based on the losing winning combination lottery result, and the left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, Based on the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are operated when 21R is operated, The number of sliding frames is determined, and each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is controlled to stop.

By the way, there is an upper limit on the number of sliding frames, and when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are at predetermined rotational positions, the corresponding left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are activated. If not operated, the reel rotation control means 106 will control whether the symbol displayed on the display window 11 corresponds to the winning combination even if the winning combination result by the winning combination selection means 103 is a winning combination. It is not possible to control each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R to stop so that they are stopped and displayed in this manner. In other words, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the corresponding left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R based on the winning lottery results of the winning winning lottery means 103 at the timing when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are at predetermined rotational positions, respectively. On the condition that the right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are each controlled to stop. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is set to 4 frames, and depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, a "missed prize" occurs in which the winning combination cannot be won. In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R so as not to win other winning combinations.

Next, the composition of each winning combination group and the stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R by the reel rotation control means 106 at the time of winning will be specifically explained with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

(Winning role group “RBBA”, “RBBB”)
The winning combination group “RBBA” is composed of “RBB1” (rot name). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 performs reel control so that the winning symbol "RBB1" stops on the winning line. However, "RBB1" may not be drawn to the winning line depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, so in this case, even though it has been won, it cannot be won. , ``missed items'' occur. In this case, the gaming state shifts to bonus inside (RBB1F). Note that the winning combination group "RBBA" is configured to win/win only when 3 coins are bet. Therefore, if you bet two coins within the bonus (RBB1F), you will not win the carryover bonus combination "RBB1".

The winning combination group "RBBB" is made up of "RBB2" (win name). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 performs reel control so that the winning symbol "RBB2" stops on the winning line. However, "RBB2" may not be able to be drawn to the winning line depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, so in this case, even though it has been won, it may not be possible to win. , ``missed items'' occur. In this case, the gaming state shifts to inside bonus (RBB2F). It should be noted that the winning combination group "RBBB" is configured to win/win only when 2 coins are bet. Therefore, if you bet 3 coins within the bonus (RBB2F), you will not win the carryover bonus combination "RBB2".

(Winning role group “NRP”)
The winning role group "NRP" is "NRP1" to "NRP2" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "upper rep"), "NRP3" to "NRP18" (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as "lower right"). ), "NRP19" to "NRP26" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "middle reps"), "KRP1" to "KRP2" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "red 7 miss replay"), and "BRP1" to "BRP17" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "BAR aiming replay"). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

For example, when the first stopped reel is the left reel 13L, the reel rotation control means 106 performs reel control so that the "upper row lip" and the "downward right lip" win preferentially (see FIG. 11). In this embodiment, no matter what timing the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated on each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, a prize will be won in either the "Upper Rip" or the "Right Down Rip". It is configured as follows. Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L, you will definitely win one of the winning combinations belonging to the "Upper Rip" or "Right Down Rip" depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R (no loss). ).

(a) Winning role group “ATALC”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATALC" has a payout of 15 coins, "AT1" to "AT4" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "ATA left center"), and a payout of 15 coins. ``KO1'', ``KO2'', ``KO23'', ``KO25'' (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as ``incorrect press order AT1''), and 1 piece ``KO28'' (hereinafter referred to as ``incorrect press order AT1''). , this may also be referred to as "incorrect press position AT1"). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination with priority depending on the operation mode (press order (operation order) and push position (operation timing)) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. I do.

When the winning combination group "ATALC" is won, if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. The reels are controlled to stop so that the "ATA left middle" of the reels is given priority. The correct pressing order in the correct operation mode is that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed in the order of "left→middle→right (L→C→R)." Also, the winning symbols on the left reel 13L (the middle symbols on the left reel 13L) of "AT1" to "AT4" belonging to "ATA left middle" are all symbols "BE1 (Bell 1)" (see Figure 8). . Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the left reel 13L, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol "BE1" (Bell 1)" and the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the symbol number "5" can be drawn, and the symbols from the symbol "RP" with the symbol number "9" can be drawn in the middle row of the left reel 13L. The timing when the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the number "0" is located (after the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the symbol number "10" has passed in the middle row of the left reel 13L) The period until “BE1 (Bell 1)” passes: hereinafter referred to as the “left reel BAR press period” (see the BAR press portion in FIG. 12(b)), and the middle and right reels 13M, 13R The timing is arbitrary. During this left reel BAR press period, there are symbols such as "BAR" with symbol number "2", so the symbol "BAR", which is different from the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "AT1" to "AT4", is displayed on the left reel BAR. It can be used as an index pattern that is an index for operating the stop switch 21L during the press period (an index pattern that is an index for the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21L).

(a-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the left reel 13L that has become steady rotation is 1 When the stop switch 21L is operated during the above-mentioned left reel BAR press period of the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the left reel 13L of "AT1" to "AT4" to be placed on the winning line (middle stage). Control the stop of the left reel 13L so that either the winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" or the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" stops. Execute (press position is correct). In particular, during the above-mentioned left reel BAR press period, the symbols "RP" with symbol number "9" to "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" are located in the middle of the left reel 13L. Timing (period from when the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the symbol number "10" passes by until the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the symbol number "5" passes by in the middle row of the left reel 13L: hereinafter referred to as When the stop switch 21L is operated during the "1 left reel BAR press period"), the reel rotation control means 106 displays the symbol "BE1" with symbol number "5" on the winning line (middle row). 1)" is stopped. The left reel 13L is controlled to stop. In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol number "RP" with symbol number "4" is on the upper row, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "6" is on the lower row. “BL1 (Blank 1)” has stopped, and the symbol “BAR” (index symbol) has stopped visible through the display window 11 within a predetermined display area (in this embodiment, the upper, middle, and lower rows). do not have. Also, during the above left reel BAR press period, the symbols "RP" with symbol number "4" to "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" are located in the middle of the left reel 13L. Timing (period from when the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" passes by until the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" passes by in the middle of the left reel 13L: hereinafter referred to as " When the stop switch 21L is operated during the 2 left reel BAR press period, the reel rotation control means 106 displays the symbol BE1 (BAR press period) with symbol number 0 on the winning line (middle row). 1)" is stopped. The left reel 13L is controlled to stop. In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol "RP" with symbol number "19" is on the upper row, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "1" is on the lower row. The "BAR" has stopped, and the symbol "BAR" (indicator symbol) has stopped so as to be visible within a predetermined display area through the display window 11.

Subsequently, if the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M (if the push order up to the second stop is correct), the reel rotation control means 106 selects the winning symbols "AT1" to "AT4" on the middle reel 13M. The middle reel 13M is controlled to stop so that the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" stops on the winning line (lower row). On the middle reel 13M, no matter what timing the stop switch 21M is operated, it is possible to draw either the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" to the winning line (lower row). Therefore, when the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, "AT1" to "AT4" are set according to the operation timing of the stop switch 21M. The symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" which is the winning symbol of "" stops on the winning line (lower row).

Further, the winning symbol on the final stop reel (right reel 13R) of "AT1" to "AT4" is the symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)". Therefore, when the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the right reel 13R to stop so that the symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)" which is a winning symbol of "AT1" to "AT4" stops on the winning line (upper row). On the right reel 13R, no matter what timing the stop switch 21R is operated, it is possible to draw either the symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)" onto the winning line (upper row). Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, then the right reel 13R, which is the final stop reel, will respond to the operation timing of the stop switch 21R. The symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)" which is a winning symbol of "AT1" to "AT4" stops on the winning line (upper row). In other words, if the pressing order of the first to third stop reels is correct and the pressing position of the first stop reel (left reel 13L) is correct, then among the winning combination group "ATALC", the most Be sure to win in one of the "ATA left center" ("AT1" to "AT4" (payout: 15 coins)) which has a high payout.

On the other hand, the first stop reel was the left reel 13L (the push order up to the first stop was correct) and the push position was also correct, but the second stop reel was the right reel 13R (the push order for the second stop was correct). Incorrect), the reel rotation control means 106 selects the winning symbol on the left reel 13L instead of the winning symbol (symbol "BAR" or "WM") on the right reel 13R of "AT1" to "AT4". Wrong press order AT1 (``KO1'', ``KO2'', ``KO23'', ``KO25'') for a 1-card winning symbol with the same winning symbol as ``AT1'' to ``AT4'' (symbol ``BE1 (Bell 1)'') The right reel 13R is stopped so that the winning symbol (symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)") on the right reel 13R stops on the winning line (upper row).

On the right reel 13R, no matter what timing the stop switch 21R is operated, it is possible to draw either symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" to the winning line (upper row). be. Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, but the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the push order is incorrect depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21R. The symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" which is the winning symbol of AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25") stops on the winning line (upper row).

Furthermore, the winning symbol on the final stop reel (middle reel 13M) of incorrect press order AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25") is the symbol "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)". )”. Therefore, when the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the reel rotation control means 106 is the winning symbol "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)" which is the winning symbol of incorrect press order AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25") is on the winning line (lower row). ) The middle reel 13M is controlled to stop so as to stop at . On the middle reel 13M, no matter what timing the stop switch 21M is operated, it is possible to draw either the symbol "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)" to the winning line (lower row). .

Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, but the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the stop switch 21M is Depending on the operation timing, the winning symbol on the middle reel 13M of incorrect AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25") is either "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)". ” stops at the winning line (lower row). In other words, if the push order and position of the first stop reel are correct, but the push order of the second stop is incorrect, you will receive a payout of one of the winning combination group "ATALC". Any one of the incorrect answers AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25") will definitely win a prize.

(a-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the left reel 13L rotates steadily, during a period other than the above-mentioned left reel BAR press period (corresponding to the left reel red 7 press period described later), If the stop switch 21L is operated, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" cannot be drawn to the winning line (middle row) (the pressed position is incorrect). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the push position incorrect AT1 ("KO28"), which is a one-card winning combination. The winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" on the left reel 13L is the winning symbol on the winning line (middle row). ) The left reel 13L is controlled to stop so as to stop at the position shown in FIG.

On the left reel 13L, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" can always be drawn in no matter when the left stop switch 21L is operated during the left reel red 7th press period. Therefore, if the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect, the winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" of "ATA left center" will appear on the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L. does not stop, but the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" stops.

Subsequently, the reel rotation control means 106 performs control so that the incorrect push position AT1 ("KO28") also wins on the second and third stopped reels. The winning symbols of the middle reel 13M and right reel 13R, which are the second and third stop reels of the incorrect push position AT1 ("KO28"), are symbols "RP (Replay)" (not shown). On both the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R, the symbol "RP (Replay)" is not missed. Therefore, even if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the correct press order for the first stop), if the press position is incorrect, then regardless of the subsequent press order or position, there will always be one card. A prize is won for the incorrect press position AT1 ("KO28").

(a-3) If the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect When you win the winning combination group "ATALC", if the first stop reel is the middle reel 13M or right reel 13R (the first stop reel is the middle reel 13M or right reel 13R) If the push order is incorrect in the step), the reel rotation control means 106 gives priority to the incorrect push order AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25"), which is a 1-card winning combination. The reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop so as to win a prize. In this embodiment, if the push order is incorrect at the first stop stage, there is a 1/2 probability that the push order is incorrect AT1 ("KO1", "KO2", "KO23", "KO25"). It is designed to win either one of the following.

(b) Winning role group “ATBLC”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATBLC" has a payout of 15 coins, "AT5" to "AT8" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "ATB left middle"), and a payout of 15 coins. ``KO3'', ``KO4'', ``KO13'', ``KO14'' (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as ``incorrect press order AT7''), and 1 piece ``KO27'' (hereinafter referred to as ``incorrect press order AT7''). , this may also be referred to as "incorrect press position AT7"). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

When winning the winning combination group "ATBLC", if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. The reels are controlled to stop so as to preferentially win the "ATB left middle" of the reels. The correct pressing order in the correct operation mode is that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed in the order of "left→middle→right (L→C→R)." In addition, the winning symbols on the left reel 13L of "AT5" to "AT8" belonging to "ATB left middle" (the middle symbols on the left reel 13L) are all symbols "BE2 (Bell 2)" (see Figure 8). . Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the left reel 13L, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol BE2 (Bell 2)" and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the symbol number "10" can be drawn, and the symbols from the symbol "RP" with the symbol number "19" can be drawn in the middle row of the left reel 13L. The timing when the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the number "10" is located (after the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the symbol number "0" has passed in the middle row of the left reel 13L, and then the symbol "BE2 (Bell 1)" with the symbol number "10" The period until “BE2 (Bell 2)” passes: Hereinafter, it will be described as “left reel red 7th press period” (see the red 7th press part in Figure 12(b)), and the middle/right reel As for 13M and 13R, the timing is arbitrary. During this left reel red 7th press period, there is a symbol "Red 7" with symbol number "11", so the symbol "Red 7", which is different from the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "AT5" to "AT8", is placed on the left. It can be used as an indicator symbol to be used as an indicator for operating the stop switch 21L during the reel red 7th press period (an indicator pattern to be used as an indicator for the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21L).

(b-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the left reel 13L that has become steady rotation is 1 If the stop switch 21L is operated during the above left reel red 7th press period of the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the left reel "AT5" to "AT8" to be placed on the winning line (middle row). Stop control of the left reel 13L so that either the winning symbol of 13L, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" or the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15", stops. (The pressed position is correct). In particular, during the above left reel red 7th press period, the symbols ``RP'' with symbol number ``19'' to ``BE2 (Bell 2)'' with symbol number ``15'' are located in the middle of the left reel 13L. Timing (period from when the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" passes by until the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" passes by in the middle row of the left reel 13L: Hereinafter, " When the left stop switch 21L is operated during the 1st left reel red 7th press period", the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol number "15" to appear on the winning line (middle row). The left reel 13L is controlled to stop so that "BE2 (Bell 2)" stops. In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol "RP" with symbol number "14" is in the upper row, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" is in the middle row, and the symbol is "16" in the lower row. "BL1 (Blank 1)" has stopped, and the symbol "Red 7" (index symbol) has not stopped visibly within the predetermined display area through the display window 11. Also, during the above left reel red 7th press period, the symbols "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" from "RP" with symbol number "14" to "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" are located in the middle row of left reel 13L. timing (period from when the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" passes by until the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" passes by in the middle row of the left reel 13L: hereinafter, " When the left stop switch 21L is operated during the second left reel red 7th press period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol number "10" to appear on the winning line (middle row). The left reel 13L is controlled to stop so that "BE2 (Bell 2)" stops. In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol number "RP" with symbol number "9" is on the upper row, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "11" is on the lower row. "Red 7" has stopped, and the symbol "Red 7" (index symbol) has stopped so as to be visible within a predetermined display area through the display window 11.

Subsequently, if the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M (if the push order up to the second stop is correct), the reel rotation control means 106 selects the winning symbols "AT5" to "AT8" on the middle reel 13M. The middle reel 13M is controlled to stop so that the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" stops on the winning line (lower row). On the middle reel 13M, no matter what timing the stop switch 21M is operated, it is possible to draw either symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" to the winning line (lower row). Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, the timing will change from "AT5" to "AT8" depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21M. The symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" which is the winning symbol of "" stops on the winning line (lower row).

Further, the winning symbol on the final stop reel (right reel 13R) of "AT5" to "AT8" is the symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)". Therefore, when the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the right reel 13R to stop so that the symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)" which is a winning symbol of "AT5" to "AT8" stops on the winning line (upper row). On the right reel 13R, no matter what timing the stop switch 21R is operated, it is possible to draw either the symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)" onto the winning line (upper row). Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, then the right reel 13R, which is the final stop reel, will respond to the operation timing of the stop switch 21R. The symbol "BAR" or "WM (watermelon)" which is a winning symbol of "AT5" to "AT8" will stop on the winning line (upper row). In other words, if the pressing order from the 1st to the 3rd stop is correct and the pressing position of the 1st stop reel (left reel 13L) is correct, then the winning combination will be the highest among the winning combinations of the winning combination group "ATBLC". You will definitely win a prize in one of the "ATB left middle" ("AT5" to "AT8" (dividend: 15 pieces)) with a high value.

On the other hand, the first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order up to the first stop is correct) and the push position is also correct, but the second stop reel is the right reel 13R (the push order for the second stop is correct). Incorrect), the reel rotation control means 106 selects the winning symbol on the left reel 13L instead of the winning symbol (symbol "BAR" or "WM") on the right reel 13R of "AT5" to "AT8". Wrong press order AT7 (``KO3'', ``KO4'', ``KO13'', ``KO14'') for a 1-card winning symbol with the same winning symbol as ``AT5'' to ``AT8'' (symbol ``BE2 (Bell 2)'') The stop control of the right reel 13R is performed so that the winning symbol (symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)") on the right reel 13R stops on the winning line (upper row).

On the right reel 13R, no matter what timing the stop switch 21R is operated, it is possible to draw either symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" to the winning line (upper row). be. Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, but the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the push order is incorrect depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21R. The symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" or "BE2 (Bell 2)" which is the winning symbol of AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14") stops on the winning line (upper row).

Furthermore, the winning symbol on the final stop reel (middle reel 13M) of incorrect press order AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14") is the symbol "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)". )”. Therefore, when the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, and the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the reel rotation control means 106 is the winning symbol "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)" which is the winning symbol of incorrect press order AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14"), which is on the winning line (lower row). ) The middle reel 13M is controlled to stop so as to stop at . On the middle reel 13M, no matter what timing the stop switch 21M is operated, it is possible to draw either the symbol "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)" to the winning line (lower row). .

Therefore, if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L and the push position is correct, but the push order of the second stop reel is incorrect, the stop switch 21M is Depending on the operation timing, the winning symbol on the middle reel 13M of incorrect AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14") is either "WM (Watermelon)" or "BE3 (Bell 3)". ” stops at the winning line (lower row). In other words, if the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct, but the push order of the second stop is incorrect, the push order will yield a payout of one of the winning combination group "ATBLC". Any one of the incorrect answers AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14") will definitely win a prize.

(b-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the left reel 13L rotates steadily, the stop switch is pressed during a period other than the above left reel red 7 press period (the above left reel BAR press period). If 21L is operated, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" cannot be drawn to the winning line (middle row) (the pushing position is incorrect). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the push position incorrect AT7 ("KO27"), which is a one-card winning combination. The winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" on the left reel 13L is the winning symbol on the winning line (middle row). ) The reel 13L is controlled to stop so as to stop at the position shown in FIG.

On the left reel 13L, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" can always be drawn in no matter when the left stop switch 21L is operated during the left reel BAR press period. Therefore, if the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect, the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of "ATB left center" will appear on the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L. does not stop, but the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" stops.

Subsequently, the reel rotation control means 106 performs control so that the incorrect push position AT7 ("KO27") also wins on the second and third stop reels. The winning symbols of the middle reel 13M and right reel 13R, which are the second and third stop reels of the incorrect push position AT7 ("KO27"), are symbols "RP (Replay)" (not shown). On both the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R, the symbol "RP (Replay)" is not missed. Therefore, even if the first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the correct press order for the first stop), if the press position is incorrect, then regardless of the subsequent press order or position, there will always be one card. , the incorrect press position AT7 ("KO27") wins a prize.

(b-3) If the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect When you win the winning combination group "ATBLC", if the first stop reel is middle reel 13M or right reel 13R (first stop reel If the push order is incorrect in the step), the reel rotation control means 106 gives priority to the incorrect push order AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14"), which is a one-card winning combination. The reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop so as to win a prize. In this embodiment, if the push order is incorrect at the first stop stage, there is a 1/2 probability that the push order is incorrect AT7 ("KO3", "KO4", "KO13", "KO14"). It is designed to win either one of the following.

(c) Winning role group “ATALR”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATALR" consists of "AT9" to "AT10" (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "ATA left and right") which each have a payout of 15 pieces, and a payout of 1 each. "KO5" to "KO8", "KO23", "KO25" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "incorrect push order AT2"), and "KO28" with a payout of one piece (hereinafter, This is sometimes referred to as "incorrect press position AT2"), and the payout consists of one "KO29". In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

When the winning combination group "ATALR" is won, if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. Reel stop control is performed so that prizes are given priority to "ATA left and right" of the reels. The correct pressing order in the correct operation mode is that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed in the order of "left→right→middle (L→R→C)." Furthermore, the winning symbols (the middle symbols of the left reel 13L) on the left reel 13L of "AT9" to "AT10" belonging to "ATA left and right" are all symbols "BE1 (Bell 1)" (see FIG. 8). Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the left reel 13L, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol "BE1" (Bell 1)" and the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" can be drawn during the above left reel BAR press period, and for middle and right reels 13M and 13R, any It's the timing. During this left reel BAR press period, there are symbols such as "BAR" with symbol number "2", so the symbol "BAR", which is different from the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "AT9" to "AT10", is displayed on the left reel BAR. It can be used as an index pattern that is an index for operating the stop switch 21L during the press period (an index pattern that is an index for the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21L).

(c-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the left reel 13L that has become steady rotation is 1 When the stop switch 21L is operated during the above-mentioned left reel BAR press period of the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the left reel 13L of "AT9" to "AT10" to be placed on the winning line (middle stage). Control the stop of the left reel 13L so that either the winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" or the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" stops. Execute (press position is correct). In particular, when the stop switch 21L is operated during the first left reel BAR press period of the left reel BAR press period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol to appear on the winning line (middle row). The left reel 13L is controlled to stop so that the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the number "5" stops. In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol number "RP" with symbol number "4" is on the upper row, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "6" is on the lower row. "BL1 (Blank 1)" has stopped, and the symbol "BAR" (index symbol) has not stopped visibly within the predetermined display area through the display window 11. Furthermore, when the stop switch 21L is operated during the second left reel BAR press period of the left reel BAR press period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol to appear on the winning line (middle row). The left reel 13L is controlled to stop so that the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the number "0" stops. In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol "RP" with symbol number "19" is on the upper row, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "0" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "1" is on the lower row. The "BAR" has stopped, and the symbol "BAR" (indicator symbol) has stopped so as to be visible within a predetermined display area through the display window 11.

After that, if the second stop reel is the right reel 13R and the third stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the correct pressing order up to the third stop), the winning combination group "ATALR" is controlled by the reel rotation control means 106. Of the constituent roles, you will definitely win the prize on "ATA left and right" (payout: 15 pieces) with the highest payout. On the other hand, when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M and the third stop reel is the right reel 13R (the push order is incorrect at the second stop), the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 causes the push that is a single winning combination. You will definitely win a prize in one of the incorrect answers AT2.

(c-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the left reel 13L rotates steadily, the stop switch is pressed during a period other than the above left reel BAR press period (the above left reel red 7 press period). 21L is operated (the pressed position is incorrect), the winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" of "ATA left and right" is placed on the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L by the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106. Without stopping, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of the incorrect press position AT2 ("KO28"), which is a one-card combination, stops. Due to the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, regardless of the subsequent push order or push position, the player will always win the 1-card winning position, ie, the incorrect push position AT2.

(c-3) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect Furthermore, if the pressing order is incorrect at the stage of the first stop reel, details of the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 will be omitted. However, there is a probability of 1/2 that the player wins AT2, which is a 1-card hand with an incorrect push order.

(d) Winning role group “ATBLR”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATBLR" consists of "AT11" to "AT12" (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "ATB left and right"), each of which has a payout of 15 pieces, and one which each has a payout of 1. "KO9" to "KO14" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "incorrect push order AT8") and "KO27" with one payout (hereinafter referred to as "incorrect push position AT8"). ”). In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

At the time of winning the winning combination group "ATBLR", if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. Reel stop control is performed so that the winnings are given priority to "ATB left and right" of the reels. The correct pressing order in the correct operation mode is that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed in the order of "left→right→middle (L→R→C)." Furthermore, the winning symbols (the middle symbols of the left reel 13L) of "AT11" to "AT12" belonging to "ATB left and right" are all symbols "BE2 (Bell 2)" (see FIG. 8). Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the left reel 13L, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol BE2 (Bell 2)" and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" can be drawn during the above-mentioned left reel red 7th press period, and middle and right reels 13M and 13R are optional. The timing is right. During this left reel red 7 press period, there is a symbol "Red 7" with symbol number "11", so the symbol "Red 7", which is different from the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "AT11" to "AT12", is placed on the left. An indicator symbol that serves as an indicator for operating the stop switch 21L during the reel red 7th press period (can be used as an indicator symbol that serves as an indicator for the correct operation timing of the left stop switch 21L).

(d-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the left reel 13L that has become steady rotation is 1 If the stop switch 21L is operated during the above-mentioned left reel red 7th press period of the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 will display the winning symbols "AT11" to "AT12" on the winning line (middle row). Stop control of the left reel 13L is performed so that either the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with a certain symbol number "10" or the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with a symbol number "15" stops (press position is correct). In particular, when the stop switch 21L is operated during the first left reel red 7th press period of the left reel red 7th press period, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the winning line (middle stage). Stop control of the left reel 13L is performed so that the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" stops at . In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol "RP" with symbol number "14" is in the upper row, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" is in the middle row, and the symbol is "16" in the lower row. "BL1 (Blank 1)" has stopped, and the symbol "Red 7" (index symbol) has not stopped visibly within the predetermined display area through the display window 11. In addition, if the stop switch 21L is operated during the second left reel red 7th press period of the left reel red 7th press period, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the winning line (middle stage). Stop control of the left reel 13L is performed so that the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" stops at . In this case, on the left reel 13L, the symbol number "RP" with symbol number "9" is on the upper row, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "11" is on the lower row. "Red 7" has stopped, and the symbol "Red 7" (index symbol) has stopped so as to be visible within a predetermined display area through the display window 11.

After that, if the second stop reel is the right reel 13R and the third stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the correct pressing order up to the third stop), the winning combination group "ATBLR" is controlled by the reel rotation control means 106. Of the constituent roles, you will definitely win the “ATB left and right” (payout: 15 pieces) with the highest payout. On the other hand, when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M and the third stop reel is the right reel 13R (the push order is incorrect at the second stop), the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 causes the push that is a single winning combination. You will definitely win the AT8 with incorrect answers.

(d-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the left reel 13L rotates steadily, the stop switch is pressed during a period other than the above left reel red 7 press period (the above left reel BAR press period). 21L is operated (the push position is incorrect), the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of "ATB left and right" is placed on the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L by the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106. Without stopping, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" of the 1-card push position incorrect answer AT8 ("KO27") stops. Due to the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, regardless of the subsequent pressing order or pressing position, a prize is always won for the 1-card winning position, ie, incorrect pressing position AT8.

(d-3) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect Furthermore, if the pressing order is incorrect at the stage of the first stop reel, the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the With a probability of , you will win AT8, which is a 1-card hand with an incorrect push order.

(e) Winning role group “ATACL”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATACL" is comprised of "AT13" to "AT15" (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "ATA middle left"), which each have a payout of 15 pieces. One sheet of "KO5" to "KO8", "KO9" to "KO10", "KO19" to "KO20", "KO32" to "KO35" (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as "incorrect press order AT3") ) and "KO31" (hereinafter, this may also be referred to as "incorrect press position AT3"), which has one payout. In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

When the winning combination group "ATACL" is won, if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. The reels are controlled to stop so that the "ATA center left" of the reels wins preferentially. The correct pressing order in the correct operation mode is that the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is "middle→left→right (C→L→R)." In addition, the winning symbols on the middle reel 13M (lower symbols on the middle reel 13M) of "AT13" to "AT15" belonging to "ATA middle left" are all symbols "BE1 (Bell 1)" (see Figure 8). . Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. The correct push position in the correct operation mode is the symbol "BE1" (belt) with symbol number "0" on the lower row of the middle reel 13M during one rotation of the middle reel 13M in steady rotation. 1)" and the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5" can be drawn, and the symbols from "WM (Watermelon)" with symbol number "8" to the middle row of the middle reel 13M can be drawn. The timing when the symbol "BE3 (Bell 3)" with the symbol number "19" is located via the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the number "0" (the symbol with the symbol number "9" in the middle row of the middle reel 13M) The period from when "BE3 (Bell 3)" passes until the symbol "BE3 (Bell 3)" with symbol number "19" passes: hereinafter referred to as "middle reel BAR press period") (Fig. 12(b), the timing is arbitrary for the left and right reels 13L and 13R. During this middle reel BAR push period, there is a symbol "BAR" with symbol number "2", so the symbol "BAR" which is different from the winning symbol of middle reel 13M of "AT13" to "AT15" is placed on the middle reel BAR. It is possible to use it as an index pattern that is an index for operating the stop switch 21M during the push period (an index pattern that is an index for the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21M).

(e-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the middle reel 13M that has become steady rotation is 1 When the stop switch 21M is operated during the above-mentioned middle reel BAR press period of the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 displays the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the symbol number "0" on the winning line (lower row). )" or the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "5", the middle reel 13M is controlled to stop (the pressed position is correct). The symbols stopped on the middle reel 13M at this time are the symbol "WM (Watermelon)" on the upper row, the symbol "BE3 (Bell 3)" on the middle row, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" on the lower row, and the symbol "BAR" ( The indicator symbol) does not stop visibly within the predetermined display area through the display window 11.

After that, if the second stop reel is the left reel 13L and the third stop reel is the right reel 13R (the correct pressing order up to the third stop), the winning combination group "ATACL" is controlled by the reel rotation control means 106. Among the constituent roles, "ATA middle left" (payout: 15 pieces), which has the highest payout, will definitely win. On the other hand, when the second stop reel is the right reel 13R and the third stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order is incorrect at the second stop), the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 causes the push, which is a one-card winning combination. Be sure to win in AT3 with incorrect answers.

(e-2) If the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect On the other hand, if you win the winning combination group "ATACL" and the first stop reel is the middle reel 13M (first stop press Even if the middle reel 13M rotates steadily, during a period other than the above-mentioned middle reel BAR press period (corresponding to the middle reel red 7 press period described later), When the stop switch 21L is operated (the pressed position is incorrect), the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control, and the winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" of "ATA middle left" is placed on the winning line (lower row) of the middle reel 13M. )'' does not stop, and the 1-card push position incorrect AT3 (``KO31'': The winning symbol combination is the symbol ``RP'' in the middle of the left reel 13L and the symbol ``RP'' in the bottom of the middle reel 13M. The symbol "BE3 (BE3)" and the symbol "RP" on the upper row of the right reel 13R stop. Due to the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, regardless of the subsequent pressing order or pressing position, a prize is always won for the 1-card winning position, ie, the incorrect pressing position AT3.

(e-3) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect Furthermore, if the pressing order is incorrect at the stage of the first stop reel, the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the With a probability of , you will win AT3, which is a 1-card hand with an incorrect push order.

(f) Winning role group “ATBCL”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATBCL" includes "AT16" to "AT18" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "ATB middle left"), which each have a payout of 15 coins. One sheet of "KO7" to "KO8", "KO10" to "KO12", "KO21" to "KO22", "KO36" to "KO39" (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as "incorrect press order AT9") ), and "KO31" (hereinafter, this may also be referred to as "incorrect press position AT9") with one payout. In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

At the time of winning the winning combination group "ATBCL", if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. The reels are controlled to stop so as to preferentially win the "ATB middle left" of the reels. The correct pressing order in the correct operation mode is that the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is "middle→left→right (C→L→R)." In addition, the winning symbols on the middle reel 13M of "AT16" to "AT18" belonging to "ATB middle left" (lower symbols on the middle reel 13M) are all symbols "BE2 (Bell 2)" (see Figure 8). . Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. The correct push position in the correct operation mode is the symbol "BE2" (bell) with symbol number "10" placed on the lower row of the middle reel 13M during one revolution of the middle reel 13M in steady rotation. 2)" and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" can be drawn, and the symbols from "WM (Watermelon)" with symbol number "18" to the middle row of the middle reel 13M can be drawn. The timing at which the symbol "BE3 (Bell 3)" with the number "9" is located (after the symbol "BE3 (Bell 3)" with the symbol number "19" passes by in the middle row of the middle reel 13M, the symbol "BE3 (Bell 3)" with the symbol number "9" The period until “BE3 (Bell 3)” passes: hereinafter referred to as “middle reel red 7th press period” (see the red 7th press portion in Fig. 12(b)), and the left and right reels 13L , 13R, the timing is arbitrary. During this middle reel Red 7 push period, there is a symbol "Red 7" with symbol number "12", so the symbol "Red 7", which is different from the winning symbol on the middle reel 13M of "AT16" to "AT18", is It can be used as an index symbol (an index symbol that is an index of the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21M) for operating the stop switch 21M during the reel red 7th press period.

(f-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the middle reel 13M that has become steady rotation is 1 If the stop switch 21M is operated during the middle reel red 7th press period of the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the reel rotation control means 106 to display the symbol BE2 (bell 2)" and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15", the middle reel 13M is controlled to stop (the pressed position is correct).

Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the right reel 13R, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol BE2 (Bell From the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the symbol number "19" in the middle row of the right reel 13R, it is possible to draw either "2)" or the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the symbol number "14". The timing at which the symbol ``RP'' with symbol number ``10'' is located (after the symbol ``RP'' with symbol number ``0'' has passed in the middle row of the right reel 13R, the symbol ``RP'' with symbol number ``10'' is positioned. (Reply)" passes: Hereinafter, it is described as "right reel red 7th press period." is an arbitrary timing. During this right reel red 7 press period, there is a symbol "red 7" with symbol number "12", so the symbol "red 7", which is different from the winning symbol on the right reel 13R of "AT29" to "AT34", is placed on the right. It can be used as an indicator symbol that is an indicator for operating the stop switch 21R during the reel red 7th press period (an indicator symbol that is an indicator of the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21R).

(j-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the right reel 13R (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the right reel 13R that has become steady rotation is 1 If the stop switch 21R is operated during the right reel red 7th press period during the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the reel rotation control means 106 to display the symbol BE2 (bell The right reel 13R is controlled to stop so that either "2)" or the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "14" stops (the pressed position is correct). At this time, the symbols that stop on the right reel 13R are the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" in the upper row, the symbol "RP (Rep)" in the middle row, and the symbol "BL1 (Blank 1)" or "BL2 (Blank 2)" in the lower row. Therefore, the symbol "Red 7" (indicator symbol) is not visibly stopped within the predetermined display area through the display window 11.

After that, if the second stop reel is the left reel 13L and the third stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the correct pressing order up to the third stop), the reel rotation control means 106 controls the stop to change the winning combination group "ATBRL". Of the constituent roles, you will definitely win the “ATB right/left” (payout: 15 pieces), which has the highest payout. On the other hand, when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M and the third stop reel is the left reel 13L (the push order is incorrect at the second stop), the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 causes the push of one card to be played. Be sure to win in AT11 with incorrect answers.

(j-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the right reel 13R rotates steadily, the stop switch is pressed during a period other than the right reel red 7 press period (the above right reel BAR press period) during which the right reel 13R rotates steadily. When 21R is operated (the pressed position is incorrect), the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of "ATB right left" is placed on the winning line (upper row) of the right reel 13R by the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106. Without stopping, the symbol "RP" of the push position incorrect AT11 ("KO50"), which is a one-card combination, stops. Due to the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, regardless of the subsequent push order or push position, a prize is always won for the push position incorrect AT11, which is a winning combination of one card.

(j-3) When the push order of the first stop reel is incorrect Furthermore, if the push order is incorrect at the stage of the first stop reel, the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the With a probability of , you will win the 1-card hand, which is an incorrect push order AT11.

(k) Winning role group “ATARC”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATARC" has a payout of 15 coins, "AT35" to "AT37" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "ATA right middle"), and a payout of 15 coins. One sheet of "KO5", "KO7", "KO9", "KO11", "KO13", "KO23" - "KO24", "KO51" (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as "incorrect press order AT6") ) and "KO50" (hereinafter, this may also be referred to as "incorrect press position AT6") with a payout of one piece. In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

When the winning combination group "ATARC" is won, if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. The reels are controlled to stop so that the "ATA right middle" of the reels wins preferentially. In the correct operation mode, the correct pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is "right→middle→left (R→C→L)." Also, the winning symbols on the right reel 13R (the upper symbols on the right reel 13R) of "AT35" to "AT37" belonging to "ATA right middle" are all symbols "BE1 (Bell 1)" (see Figure 8). . Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the right reel 13R, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol BE1 (Bell 1)" and the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "19". This is the right reel BAR push period mentioned above, and for the left and middle reels 13L and 13M, any It's the timing. During this right reel BAR press period, there is a symbol "BAR" with symbol number "2", so the symbol "BAR" which is different from the winning symbol of right reel 13R of "AT35" to "AT37" is placed on the right reel BAR. It is possible to use it as an indicator pattern (an indicator pattern that shows the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21R) as an indicator for operating the stop switch 21R during the push period.

(k-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the right reel 13R (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the right reel 13R that has become steady rotation is 1 If the stop switch 21R is operated during the right reel BAR press period during the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 displays the symbol "BE1" (Bell 1) with the symbol number "19" on the winning line (upper row). )" or the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "4", the right reel 13R is controlled to stop (the pressed position is correct). In particular, when the stop switch 21R is operated during the first right reel BAR press period of the right reel BAR press period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol to appear on the winning line (upper row). The right reel 13R is controlled to stop so that the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the number "4" stops. In this case, on the right reel 13L, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "4" is on the top row, the symbol "RP" with symbol number "5" is on the middle row, and the symbol is "6" with symbol number on the bottom row. "BL2 (Blank 2)" has stopped, and the symbol "BAR" (index symbol) has not stopped visibly within the predetermined display area through the display window 11. In addition, when the stop switch 21R is operated during the second right reel BAR press period of the right reel BAR press period, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol to appear on the winning line (upper row). The right reel 13R is controlled to stop so that the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with the number "19" stops. In this case, on the right reel 13R, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" with symbol number "19" is on the upper row, the symbol "RP (Rep)" with symbol number "0" is on the middle row, and the symbol with symbol number "1" is on the lower row. The "BAR" has stopped, and the symbol "BAR" (indicator symbol) has stopped so as to be visible within a predetermined display area through the display window 11.

After that, when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M and the third stop reel is the left reel 13L (the correct pressing order up to the third stop), the winning combination group "ATARC" is Of the constituent roles, you will definitely win the "ATA right middle" (payout: 15 pieces), which has the highest payout. On the other hand, when the second stop reel is the left reel 13L and the third stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the push order is incorrect at the second stop), the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 causes the push that is a single winning combination. You will definitely win the AT6 with incorrect answers.

(k-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the right reel 13R rotates steadily, the stop switch is pressed during a period other than the above right reel BAR press period (the above right reel red 7 press period). When 21R is operated (the pressed position is incorrect), the winning symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" of "ATA right middle" is displayed on the winning line (upper row) of the right reel 13R by stop control by the reel rotation control means 106. does not stop, but the symbol ``RP'' of the 1-card winning position incorrect AT6 (``KO50'') stops. Due to the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, regardless of the subsequent pressing order or pressing position, a prize is always won for the 1-card winning combination of incorrect pressing position AT6.

(k-3) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect Furthermore, if the pressing order is incorrect at the stage of the first stop reel, the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the With a probability of , either one of the 1-card winning combinations, AT6, which is an incorrect push order, will win a prize.

(l) Winning role group “ATBRC”
As shown in Figure 10, the winning combination group "ATBRC" has a payout of 15 coins, "AT38" to "AT40" (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "ATB right middle"), and a payout of 15 coins. One sheet of "KO6", "KO8", "KO10", "KO12", "KO14", "KO25" - "KO26", "KO52" (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as "incorrect press order AT12") ) and "KO50" (hereinafter, this may also be referred to as "incorrect press position AT12") with a payout of one piece. In this case, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the reels to stop by changing the winning combination preferentially depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

At the time of winning the winning combination group "ATBRC", if the operation mode (press order, press position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is the correct operation mode (correct press order, correct press position), the payout will be 15. The reels are controlled to stop so as to preferentially win the "ATB right middle" of the reels. In the correct operation mode, the correct pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is "right→middle→left (R→C→L)." In addition, the winning symbols on the right reel 13R of "AT38" to "AT40" belonging to "ATB Right Middle" (the upper symbols on the right reel 13R) are all symbols "BE2 (Bell 2)" (see Figure 8). . Further, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is 4 frames. Regarding the right reel 13R, the correct push position in the correct operation mode is when the symbol BE2 (Bell 2)" and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "14" can be drawn during the above right reel red 7th press period, and left and middle reels 13L and 13M are optional. The timing is right. During this right reel red 7 press period, there is a symbol "red 7" with symbol number "12", so the symbol "red 7", which is different from the winning symbol on the right reel 13R of "AT29" to "AT34", is placed on the right. It can be used as an indicator symbol that is an indicator for operating the stop switch 21R during the reel red 7th press period (an indicator symbol that is an indicator of the correct operation timing of the stop switch 21R).

(l-1) When the push order and push position of the first stop reel are correct The first stop reel is the right reel 13R (the push order up to the first stop is correct), and the right reel 13R that has become steady rotation is 1 If the stop switch 21R is operated during the right reel red 7th press period during the spinning period, the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the reel rotation control means 106 to display the symbol BE2 (bell The right reel 13R is controlled to stop so that either "2)" or the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "14" stops (the pressed position is correct). At this time, the symbols that stop on the right reel 13R are the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" in the upper row, the symbol "RP (Rep)" in the middle row, and the symbol "BL1 (Blank 1)" or "BL2 (Blank 2)" in the lower row. Therefore, the symbol "Red 7" (indicator symbol) is not visibly stopped within the predetermined display area through the display window 11.

After that, if the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M and the third stop reel is the left reel 13L (the correct pressing order up to the third stop), the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control to select the winning combination group "ATBRC". Of the constituent roles, you will definitely win the “ATB right middle” (payout: 15 pieces), which has the highest payout. On the other hand, when the second stop reel is the left reel 13L and the third stop reel is the middle reel 13M (the push order is incorrect at the second stop), the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 causes the push that is a single winning combination. Always win in AT12 with incorrect answers.

(l-2) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is correct but the pressing position is incorrect Even if the right reel 13R rotates steadily, the stop switch is pressed during a period other than the right reel red 7 press period (the above right reel BAR press period) during which the right reel 13R rotates steadily. When 21R is operated (the pressed position is incorrect), the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of "ATB right middle" is displayed on the winning line (upper row) of the right reel 13R by stop control by the reel rotation control means 106. does not stop, but the symbol "RP" of the push position incorrect AT12 ("KO50"), which is a one-card combination, stops. Due to the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, regardless of the subsequent push order or push position, a prize is always won for the push position incorrect AT12, which is a winning combination of one card.

(l-3) When the pressing order of the first stop reel is incorrect Furthermore, if the pressing order is incorrect at the stage of the first stop reel, the stop control by the reel rotation control means 106 will cause the With a probability of , you will win the 1-card hand, which is an incorrect push order AT12.

(Other winning role groups)
The details of the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R for the winning combination groups "CH1", "CH2", "SP1", "SP2", "ALL", "ACL", and "BEL" are omitted, but these Since no winning combination occurs in the winning combination group, one of the constituent combinations is sure to win depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. In addition, the winning combination group "WMN" is composed of "WM1" to "WM4", and there are cases where the winning symbol cannot be drawn on the right reel 13R. Even the constituent roles may not be able to win, and some will be left out.

(7) Design determination means 107
The symbol determining means 107 in FIG. 4 determines the symbols of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R whose stop is controlled by the reel rotation control means 106 based on the rotational position of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R detected by the reel detection means 105. It is determined whether the display mode is a predetermined display mode.

Specifically, when all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are controlled to stop by the reel rotation control means 106, the symbol determination means 107 acquires the rotation position information of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R and determines the winning line. Identify the symbol combination. Then, if the specified symbol combination corresponds to a symbol combination related to winning a predetermined winning combination, it is determined that the winning combination has been won, and if it does not correspond to any of the winning combinations, it is determined that it is a loss.

(8) Payout control means 108
When the symbol determining means 107 determines that a prize has been won in any of the winning combinations, the payout control means 108 in FIG. The number of medals paid out corresponds to the winning combination. However, if the number of stored credit medals has not reached the upper limit (for example, 50 in this embodiment), the number of credit medals is increased by the number of payouts.

(9) Medal control means 109
The medal control means 109 in FIG. 4 controls the operation of the medal selector 48 to switch between acceptable and non-acceptable medals.

(10) Section transition control means 110
The section transition control means 110 in FIG. 4 controls the transition between an advantageous section and a non-advantageous section. The section shift control means 110 causes the section to shift to a non-advantageous section when there is a setting change by the setting control means 101. Further, in the advantageous section, if a predetermined condition for shifting to the non-advantageous section is satisfied, the section is also transferred to the non-advantageous section. In this embodiment, a case where a predetermined non-advantageous section shift condition is satisfied means (i) when the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656 reaches 1500 games, (ii) when the count value of the increased medal number counter 657 reaches 2400, (iii) if you do not win the advantageous section continuation lottery held when the AT period ends, (iv) you do not win the advantageous section continuation lottery held when the AT period ends. However, if the specified forced termination conditions are met, (v) If you are not elected to the advantageous section continuation lottery that is held when the CZ (Chance Zone) ends without moving to the AT period, (vi ) If you win the advantageous section continuation lottery held when the CZ (Chance Zone) ends without moving to the AT period, but the specified forced termination conditions are met, (i) to (vi) will apply. It is set. Regarding (i), when transitioning from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656 is set to 1500, and after that, -1 is subtracted in every game. It is also possible that the count value of the number counter 656 becomes 0. Regarding (ii), the count value of the increased medal number counter 657 may exceed 2400.

In addition, when the section transition control means 110 shifts from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, it increments the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656 by +1 every time one game is played. Further, in the advantageous section, when medals are paid out, the section transition control means 110 adds the count value of the increased medal number counter 657 by the number of medals. Furthermore, when medals are inserted, the section transition control means 110 subtracts the count value of the increased medal number counter 657 by the number of medals inserted. However, if the count is negative, the count value of 0 is maintained.

Then, when the non-advantageous section transition conditions (i) to (vi) are satisfied, the section transition control means 110 sets the advantageous section flag to OFF, and sets the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656 and the number of increased medals. Each count value of the counter 657 is cleared to 0.

If an advantageous section shift combination is won in a non-advantageous section, the section shift control means 110 causes the shift from the non-advantageous section to an advantageous section. At this time, the section transition control means 110 sets the advantageous section flag to ON. In this embodiment, the winning combination groups "NRP", "RRP", "SRP", "WRP", "TRP", "CH1", "CH2", "SP1", and "SP2" are used as advantageous section transition combinations. ”, “WMN”, “ACL”, “BEL”, and the push order bell (winning role group “ATALC” (lower role number $0E) to “ATBRC” (lower role number $19) are set (Figure 11 reference).

In addition, regarding the forced termination condition for moving to a non-advantageous section even if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery, whether in case (iv) or (vi), the scenario determination method described below 111, the number of canceled games determined based on the determined scenario, and the remaining number of games up to the limiter (1500 games) at the time of winning the advantageous section continuation lottery. Specifically, if (number of remaining games until limiter) > (number of unlocked games + 45 games + number of games according to the determined scenario type (number of scenario games)) is not satisfied, the forced termination condition is met. The section transition control means 110 causes the section to shift from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section even if the winning section is won in the advantageous section continuation lottery. At this time, the section transition control means 110 sets the advantageous section flag to OFF, and clears the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656 and the count value of the increased medal number counter 657 to 0, respectively.

The remaining number of games until the limiter is calculated by subtracting the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656 when winning the advantageous section continuation lottery from the limiter of 1500 games. Furthermore, 45 games used as the forced termination condition is the sum of 15 games, which is the number of continuous games in the CZ preparation state, and 30 games, which is the maximum number of continuous games in CZ (chance zone).

Further, the number of games (number of scenario games) corresponding to the determined type of scenario is determined based on the expected number of consecutive games during the AT period in the scenario. The scenarios described below have different expected values of the number of consecutive games during the AT period depending on their types, and the number of scenario games is determined based on the expected value of the number of consecutive games. For example, the number of scenario games may be the average number of games in the AT period set for one scenario, or if the number of consecutive games in the AT period based on the one scenario is shown by a normal distribution, the number of scenario games may be within a 3σ range. The maximum number of consecutive games among the number of consecutive games may be used.

In other words, the maximum number of games that can be continued in an advantageous section is 1,500 games, so if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery and continue in the advantageous section, even if you switch to the AT period again, the number of games remaining up to the limiter of the advantageous section will be If the number of games is small, the AT period may end prematurely. Therefore, at the time of winning the advantageous section continuation lottery, the number of games until the transition to CZ preparation state (number of unlocked games) and the number of games played in CZ preparation state and CZ (chance zone) (15 games + maximum 30 games) It is determined based on the forced termination conditions whether or not the number of consecutive games has been secured in the event of transition to the AT period, and if these number of games have not been secured, the player has won the advantageous section continuation lottery. Even in this case, a forced termination condition is set for the purpose of shifting to a non-advantageous section and resetting the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 656.

Note that in this embodiment, since scenario 5 has a lower expected value of the number of consecutive games during the AT period than scenario 1, the number of scenario games for scenario 5 is set to a smaller value than the number of scenario games for scenario 1. For example, the number of scenario games in scenario 5 is 200 games, while the number of scenario games in scenario 1 is 500 games.

In addition, in this embodiment, the scenario determined when winning the advantageous section continuation lottery is reset when the scenario shifts to a non-advantageous section where the forced termination condition is met, and the scenario is reset from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section. Sometimes a new decision is made. Further, in both cases (iv) and (vi) described above, the forced termination condition is set based on the scenario determined when the advantageous section continuation lottery is won.

(11) Scenario determining means 111
The scenario determining means 111 in FIG. 4 determines the number of games to be released before transitioning to the CZ preparation state, the initial number of games in the AT period, the AT level, and the forced transition to the non-advantageous area when winning the advantageous area continuation lottery. The scenario used to determine the termination conditions, etc. is determined by lottery using the scenario lottery table 673.

The scenario determining means 111 determines whether (i) when transitioning from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, or (ii) when winning the advantageous section continuation lottery that is held when the transition to the AT period fails in the CZ (chance zone) ( (See Figure 13), (iii) When you do not win the AT period pullback lottery and win the advantageous section continuation lottery (See Figure 13). It is determined by lottery using the scenario lottery table 673.

In this embodiment, six types of scenarios, scenarios 1 to 6, are provided. For example, scenario 5 has the highest expectation of transition to the AT period, but the lowest expectation of reaching the ending of the AT period (see FIG. 14). Specifically, scenario 5 is set to have the highest winning probability in the CZ pre-AT lottery, which will be described later, and thus has the highest expectation of transition to the AT period.

Also, during the AT period, if the number of increased medals after moving to the advantageous period (AT period) exceeds 2000 (MY2000), then the limiter of the advantageous period (2400) will be exceeded, or the number of consecutive games will increase. Until the game reaches 1500 games, the game transitions to an ending where the AT period continues. Here, scenario 5 is set to have the highest selection probability of AT level 4 (see Figure 15), which has the lowest ability to add the number of games during the AT period, and is therefore set as the scenario in which it is most difficult to reach the ending. has been done. On the other hand, in Scenario 1, the probability of winning in the CZ pre-AT lottery is set lower than in Scenario 5, and the AT transition expectation level is lower than in Scenario 5. However, in Scenario 1, the selection probability of AT level 4, which has the worst additional performance, is set lower than in Scenario 5, so the expectation level for reaching the ending is set higher than in Scenario 5. In addition, in this embodiment, a difference is set between Scenario 1 and Scenario 5 in terms of the expected ending attainment, but for example, Scenario 1 has a higher expected value of the average increase in number of sheets during the AT period than Scenario 5. You can do it like this.

In this embodiment, the scenario lottery tables 673 are individually provided according to the setting values set by the setting control means 101. Moreover, when the scenario determining means 111 determines the type of scenario, it stores the type of scenario in the scenario storage area 658.

(12) Number of unlocked games determining means 112
The number-of-cancelled-games determining means 112 in FIG. 4 determines the number of games to be played before transitioning to the CZ preparation state by lottery using the number-of-cancelled-games determining table 674.

The cancellation game number determining means 112 performs the following operations: (i) when the advantageous section transition winning combination is won in the non-advantageous section, (ii) after the CZ (chance zone) ends without winning the transition lottery to the AT period. (iii) If you win in the advantageous section continuation lottery held after you have not won in the pullback lottery during the AT period; (i) to (iii), the cancellation game Determine the number. In this embodiment, the number of canceled games determination table 674 is provided according to the type of scenario, and is based on the number of canceled games determination table 674 corresponding to the scenario determined in each of cases (i) to (iii). The number of games to be released is determined. In this embodiment, when scenario 5 is determined, the maximum number of games determined as the number of unlocked games is set to 500 games, whereas when scenario 1 is determined, the number of unlocked games is set to 500. The maximum number of games determined as follows is set to, for example, 1000 games, which is greater than 500 games.

When the number of canceled games determining means 112 determines the number of canceled games, it sets the number of games to the count value of the number of canceled games counter 659. Thereafter, the canceled game number counter 659 is decremented by -1 each time a game is played, and when it reaches 0, it shifts to the CZ preparation state from the next game. Note that if the above-mentioned forced termination condition is satisfied even though the advantageous section continuation lottery is won, the set cancellation game number counter 659 is cleared. Further, the transition to the CZ preparation state is incremented by +1 each time a game is played, and when the value of the number of canceled games counter 659 reaches the determined number of canceled games, the transition to the CZ preparation state is made from the next game. It's okay.

(13) CZ point lottery means 113
The number of games in the CZ (chance zone) in FIG. 4 is determined based on the CZ points awarded before shifting to the CZ. The CZ point lottery means 113 determines the CZ points to be given to the player based on the result of the winning combination lottery by lottery using the CZ point lottery table 675 (CZ point award lottery).

In this embodiment, the CZ point lottery means 113 performs a CZ point award lottery for games staying in the normal state, the point high certainty zone, and the CZ preparation state. In this embodiment, a CZ point lottery table 675 is provided for each type of winning combination group, and further provided for each type of gaming state. Specifically, the lower the winning probability (winning winning combination group), the higher the probability that CZ points will be awarded, and the greater the value of CZ points when awarded. Furthermore, the probability that CZ points will be awarded is higher in the order of CZ preparation state, high point certainty zone, and normal state, and the value of CZ points when they are awarded also becomes larger. When winning the CZ point award lottery, the CZ point lottery means 113 adds the CZ point value determined by the lottery to the CZ cumulative point storage area 654.

Note that the CZ point lottery table 675 selected by the CZ point lottery means 113 may be configured to differ depending on the scenario determined by the scenario determining means 111 or the setting value set by the setting control means 101.

(14) High point transfer lottery means 114
The point high-precision transfer lottery means 114 in FIG. 4 performs a transfer lottery to a high-precision point zone (high-precision transfer lottery) based on the lottery result in a normal state. In this embodiment, a high probability transition lottery table 676 used for the high probability transition lottery is set for each winning combination lottery result (winning combination group). The high point certainty zone is a zone where CZ points are more easily awarded than in the normal state, and a lottery for awarding CZ points is held in every game, and after 5 games are played, the state returns to the normal state. It should be noted that a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of rights to transfer to a high point certainty zone can be stocked. In this case, by repeating the transition between the normal state and the high point accuracy zone in a relatively short period of time, a transition high accuracy zone of the high point accuracy zone can be formed.

(15) AT lottery means 115
The AT lottery means 115 in FIG. 4 determines whether or not to shift to the AT period by a lottery (AT lottery) using AT lottery tables (CZ pre-AT lottery table 677, CZ mid-AT lottery table 678). . In this embodiment, triggers for the AT lottery include when moving to the CZ (chance zone) (CZ pre-AT lottery) and every game of the CZ (chance zone) (AT lottery during CZ).

In the CZ pre-AT lottery, the AT lottery means 115 uses the CZ pre-AT lottery table 677 to determine whether to transition to the AT period. The CZ pre-AT lottery table 677 is individually set according to the type of scenario. Therefore, in the CZ pre-AT lottery, the AT lottery means 115 performs the AT lottery using the CZ pre-AT lottery table 677 according to the type of scenario stored in the scenario storage area 658. For example, the CZ pre-AT lottery table 677 for scenario 1 is set to have a 20% probability of winning the AT lottery, and the CZ pre-AT lottery table 677 for scenario 5 is set so that the probability of winning the AT lottery is 80%. There is.

In addition, if you win in the CZ pre-AT lottery, an effect will be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify you of this fact, but in this embodiment, when you win in the CZ pre-AT lottery, the notification effect will be displayed in the CZ The number of games to be played is determined in advance. Therefore, even if you win the CZ pre-AT lottery, the notification effect will not necessarily be performed in the CZ starting game.

In the AT lottery during CZ, the AT lottery means 115 uses the AT lottery table 678 during CZ to determine whether to transition to the AT period. The AT lottery in CZ is held in every game in CZ. The AT lottery table 678 in CZ is provided for each role lottery result (winning role group), and an AT lottery (AT lottery in CZ) according to the winning combination result is performed in every game during CZ.

The number of consecutive games of the CZ (chance zone) is the number of games according to the number of points stored in the CZ cumulative point storage area 654 immediately before the CZ. For example, one CZ game is awarded for every 1000 CZ points. Therefore, if the number of CZ points awarded before moving to CZ is 10,000 points, the number of consecutive games of CZ will be 10,000 ÷ 1,000 = 10 games, and an AT lottery will be held in CZ for every 10 games. . In addition, in this embodiment, if the number of games according to the number of points stored in the CZ cumulative point storage area 654 is 30 or more, regardless of the results of the CZ pre-AT lottery or the CZ mid-AT lottery, It is configured so that the winning of the AT lottery is confirmed.

The AT lottery means 115 sets the number of games based on the cumulative CZ points in the CZ game number counter 655, and subtracts -1 from the count value of the counter 655 each time one game is played in CZ. If the AT lottery is not won by the time the count value of the counter 655 becomes 0, the CZ ends, the advantageous section continuation lottery is passed, and then the normal state is entered.

Note that if you win in the AT lottery in CZ, an effect will be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify you of this fact, but this effect will be performed in the game in which you won. Therefore, if you win in the CZ pre-AT lottery and win the CZ mid-AT lottery at a timing earlier than the execution timing of the notification effect determined at that time, the notification effect based on the winning of the CZ pre-AT lottery is executed. An announcement will be made based on the winning of the CZ Medium AT Lottery.

When the CZ (chance zone) ends, the AT lottery means 115 clears the storage contents of the CZ cumulative point storage area 654 to 0 points.

(16) Initial number of games determining means 116
The initial number of games determining means 116 in FIG. 4 determines the initial number of consecutive games (initial number of games) of the AT period when it is determined as a result of the AT lottery to proceed to the AT period (initial number of games determination lottery). ). The initial number of games is determined based on the type of scenario stored in the scenario storage area 658 and the setting value set by the setting control means 101. In this embodiment, five types are provided as the initial number of games in the AT period: 40 games, 80 games, 120 games, 200 games, and 300 games, and one of these is selected based on the scenario type and setting value. One is decided.

(17) AT level determining means 117
The AT level determining means 117 determines one AT level from a plurality of AT levels (AT levels 1 to 4) having different add-on performance (add-on frequency, number of add-on games) during the AT period. The AT level is determined by a lottery (AT level determination lottery) based on the initial number of games determined by the initial number of games determining means 116 and the type of scenario stored in the scenario storage area 658.

The AT level determines the top-up performance (top-up frequency, number of top-up games) during the AT period, and in the top-up lottery to be described later, the top-up lottery table 679 is selected according to the AT level and the winning combination lottery result.

As shown in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, the top-up lottery table 679 selected at AT level 1 has the top-up performance (top-up frequency, number of top-up games) set to "normal." In the add-on lottery table 679 selected at AT level 2, the add-on performance is set to be "slightly better" than AT level 1. AT level 3 is set to have the "best" additional performance. AT level 4 is set to have the add-on performance "no add-on", and is set to be the most disadvantageous AT level where there is no add-on for the number of games during the AT period, regardless of the lottery result. Note that in this embodiment, settings are made such that the probability of being determined to the most disadvantageous AT level 4 is higher in scenario 5 than in scenario 1 (see FIG. 14).

When the AT level determining means 117 determines the AT level, it stores the AT level in the AT level storage area 660.

(18) Pseudo game control means 118
The pseudo game control means 118 in FIG. 4 controls the pseudo game in the initial game number notification effect (pseudo game) in FIG. 6, and details of the processing will be described later using FIG. 17.

(19) Additional lottery means 119
The additional lottery means 119 in FIG. 4 determines the number of games to be added to the initial number of games determined at the time of transition to the AT period by lottery (additional lottery) based on the AT level and the winning combination lottery result. It is. The additional lottery table 679 used for the additional lottery is individually provided based on the winning combination result (winning combination group) and the AT level stored in the AT level storage area 660. An additional lottery table 679 is selected according to the winning combination lottery result (winning combination group) and the AT level during the period, and an additional lottery is performed.

If you win the additional lottery, the AT period is extended by the number of games won (number of continuous games in the AT period = initial number of games + number of additional games).

(20) Pull-back lottery means 120
The pullback lottery means 120 in FIG. 4 performs a lottery (pullback lottery) to determine whether or not to grant a new AT period based on the AT level stored in the AT level storage area 660 when the AT period ends. It is something. In this embodiment, a new AT period is given to AT levels 1 to 3 based on the winning probability set for each, but the winning probability is set to 0 for AT level 4. In addition, when winning the pullback lottery, the pullback lottery means 120 also determines the initial number of games for the new AT period by lottery.

(21) Advantageous section continuation lottery means 121
The advantageous section continuation lottery means 121 in FIG. A lottery is conducted to determine whether or not to continue the advantageous section (advantageous section continuation lottery). The advantageous section continuation lottery means 121 determines whether or not to continue the advantageous section based on the scenario stored in the scenario storage area 658 and the set value set by the setting control means 101 by lottery.

Note that if the advantageous section continuation lottery is won, a new scenario is determined by the scenario determining means 111, and the scenario stored in the scenario storage area 658 is rewritten with the newly determined scenario.

(22) AT level transition control means 122
The AT level transition control means 122 in FIG. 4 controls AT level transition. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, when the number of continuous games of AT level 2 during the AT period reaches 100 games, the AT level transition control means 122 forcibly controls AT level 4, which has the lowest additional performance. At the same time, the AT level (AT level 2) stored in the AT level storage area 660 is rewritten to a new AT level (AT level 4).

Further, the AT level transition control means 122 does not cause transition to AT level 4 even if the number of continuous games at AT level 1 reaches 100 games during the AT period, but if the number of continuous games reaches 180 games, Forcibly shift to AT level 3, which has the best additional performance. At this time, the AT level transition control means 122 rewrites the AT level (AT level 1) stored in the AT level storage area 660 to a new AT level (AT level 3).

Note that the AT level transfer control means 122 does not transfer the AT level depending on the number of consecutive games of AT level 3 or AT level 4. According to this configuration, AT level 1 is slightly inferior to AT level 2 in its additional performance, but it does not shift to AT level 4, where no additional performance occurs after 100 consecutive games, and when it continues for 180 games, it has the highest additional performance. It is expected that the AT level will continue for a long time as the AT level 3 is good. On the other hand, AT level 2 has slightly better additional performance than AT level 1, but when the number of consecutive games reaches 100 games, it shifts to AT level 4, where no additional games occur, and the number of remaining games increases. All you have to do is wait for the AT period to end. Depending on the number of consecutive games, AT level 3 does not transfer to other AT levels, and the AT period can be expected to continue for a long time. At AT level 4, depending on the number of consecutive games, the player does not move to another AT level, and simply waits for the end of the AT period without increasing the number of games.

In this embodiment, the AT level 2 is set to have slightly better additional performance than the AT level 1, but the additional performance may be set to be exactly the same. If you do this, the additional performance will be the same, but on the other hand (AT level 1) will not shift to the most disadvantageous AT level 4 even if you continue for 100 games, and if you continue for 180 games, the most advantageous AT level 3. If you move to AT level 4, where you can expect the AT period to continue for a long time, and the other (AT level 2) continues for 100 games, you will move to AT level 4, where you cannot expect any additional AT period, and you will just have to wait for the AT period to end. , the game quality is created.

(23) External signal control means 123
The external signal control means 123 in FIG. 4 controls the states (Low level, High level) of multiple types of signals output to external devices via the external centralized terminal board 59, and the details of the processing are shown in the figure. This will be described later using FIGS. 20 to 28.

(24) Command creation means 124
The command creation means 124 in FIG. 4 includes information regarding the winning lottery results of the winning winning lottery means 103, information regarding the operation of operating instruments operated by the player such as each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, and the start switch 19, and a flag storage means. It generates commands for transmitting various information such as setting states of various flags stored in the CPU 653 and information regarding gaming states to the sub-control board 73 (sub-CPU 71). The command generated by the command generating means 124 is then transmitted to the sub control board 73 by the command transmitting means 125.

For example, when a winning lottery is executed by the winning lottery means 103, a command that can identify the winning lottery result is created. The sub-control board 73 executes various processes based on the sent commands.

As shown in FIG. 8, the command creation means 124 creates commands of "$00" to "$02" as the winning combination result regarding the bonus winning combination. Here, "$00" of the bonus role (higher number) indicates a command that can specify that the lottery result related to the bonus role is a loss, and "$01" indicates that the lottery result related to the bonus role is a winning role. This indicates that the group "RBBA" has been won, and "$02" indicates that the winning combination group "RBBB" has been won.

Further, the command creation means 124 creates commands of "$00" to "$19" as the winning combination lottery results for the winning combination group of the lower winning combination number. These commands are commands that are individually set according to the winning combination group, and if the commands are received on the sub control board 73 side, it is possible to specify the winning combination.

(25) Command sending means 125
The command transmitting means 125 in FIG. 4 transmits communication commands including various data from the main control board 63 to the sub-control board 73 in a one-way manner. That is, the command transmitting means 125 transmits the initial RT (NOM), the game state such as the bonus game state (RBB1, RBB2), the inside bonus (RBB1F, RBB2F), the winning lottery result of the winning prize lottery means 103, and the symbol determining means 107. Symbol determination results, rotation/stop status of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, payout status of medals by payout control means 108, open or closed state of front door 5, setting status of various flags stored in flag storage means 653 , data representing the status of the slot machine 1, such as an error status of the slot machine 1, is transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

In addition, the command transmitting means 125 automatically inserts medals when the insert sensor 53 detects inserted medals, when the bet switch 15 is operated, when the maximum bet switch 17 is operated, and when the replay winning combination is won. When the automatic setting process of the number of bets is performed, data indicating that medals have been inserted for the number of bets stored in a bet number counter (not shown) is transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

The command transmission means 125 also transmits data indicating the number of medals paid out by the payout control means 108, data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R have been operated by the player. It is transmitted to the sub control board 73.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub control board 73 will be explained in detail. The sub CPU 71 mounted on the sub control board 73 receives communication commands sent from the main control board 63 and performs effects according to the operation and status of the main control board 63. As shown in FIG. 4, the sub-control board 73 includes various functions realized by executing programs stored in the memory 75 and various functions realized by hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving means 200 in FIG. 4 receives communication commands including various data transmitted by the command transmitting means 125 of the main control board 63. The command receiving means 200 receives a communication command transmitted from the main control board 63, and upon receiving the communication command, notifies each function provided in the sub control board 73 according to the type of communication command.

(2) Performance content determining means 201
The effect content determining means 201 in FIG. 4 is for determining the content of the effect according to the communication command received by the command receiving means 200. Specifically, the music to be played from the speakers 31L and 31R is determined from the performance pattern set in advance in accordance with the progress of the game and the result of the lottery by the prize lottery means 103, and the music to be played from the speakers 31L and 31R is determined. An effect such as blinking the light sources of the sections 37L and 37R all at once or individually is determined.

For example, when the command receiving means 200 receives a command related to the winning combination result of the winning combination drawing means 103, the performance content determining means 201 determines one performance from among the performance group corresponding to the winning combination lottery result as the performance content to be executed. do. This performance group includes a performance that suggests the winning combination lottery result to the player. In addition, the performance content determining means 201 displays the maximum medal payout on the liquid crystal display 27 in some cases when the push order bell is won during the AT period or when the push order bell is won during the CZ preparation state. The content of the performance was decided to notify the operation mode of the correct answer obtained (the correct press order and the correct press position), and the content of the production was decided to notify that the correct answer was given to the press position when the operation was performed at the correct press position. do. In addition, in this embodiment, if the press order bell is won during the CZ preparation state, the correct operation mode (correct press order and correct press position) will be notified and the operation will be performed at the correct press position for the first three times. The system is configured such that even if the player wins the push order bell after that, the notification will not be made. In addition, if you win the push order bell during the AT period or if you win the push order bell during the CZ preparation state, you will be notified of the correct answer operation mode (correct answer press order and correct answer press position). The details of the presentation related to the operation and the presentation related to the notification that the operation was performed at the correct press position will be described later.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control means 202 in FIG. 4 blinks the light sources of the upper lamp part 33 and the lower lamp parts 37L and 37R all at once or individually based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the performance content determining means 201. It performs performances such as.

(4) Voice control means 203
The audio control means 203 in FIG. 4 executes performances such as playing music and outputting sounds from the speakers 31L and 31R based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the performance content determining means 201. It is.

The initial number of games notification effect (pseudo game) shown in FIG. 6 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 16 to 19. This initial game number notification performance (pseudo game) is performed in the first game of the AT period. As mentioned above, there are winning combination groups "ATALC" to "ATBRC" (press order bell: see FIG. 10) in which the number of medals paid out differs depending on the operation mode (press order and push position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. How the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated (in this embodiment, the pressing order and pressing position (target symbol) that pays out the maximum number of medals) is advantageous for a player who pays out a large number of medals when winning a game. There are non-advantageous sections in which the notification (navigation) is not allowed and advantageous sections in which the notification is allowed, and the section transition control means 110 controls the sections of the slot machine 1.

First, the freeze state related to the initial game number notification effect (pseudo game) shown in FIG. 6 will be explained using FIG. 16.

In the initial game number notification performance (pseudo game), when the start switch 19 is operated, a freeze state starts, and when the end time of the freeze state period comes, the freeze state ends. When the freeze state ends, the start of rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is randomly delayed in order to perform a normal game in response to the operation of the start switch 19 that triggered the freeze state. Begins. In this embodiment, the length of the frozen state period is determined by a predetermined lottery from among 70s (seconds), 80s, and 90s by the pseudo-game control means 118 (the pseudo-game processing period described later). ). The mechanism of the predetermined lottery is not particularly limited.

In the frozen state, a pseudo game is started when 8000 ms (milliseconds) have elapsed from the start of the frozen state. A period of T1 ms starting from the time when 8000 ms has passed since the start of the frozen state (hereinafter referred to as the "reference time" as appropriate) and ending at the end time of the frozen state "8000+T1" ms is designated as "pseudo game processing" as appropriate. ``Period''. Note that the reference time for starting the pseudo game processing period may be a fixed value such as 0 ms, 3000 ms, or 8000 ms from the start of the frozen state, or may be selected from a plurality of times. When the reference time for starting the pseudo game processing period is 0 ms, the start time of the pseudo game processing period T1 becomes the start time of the freeze state, and the pseudo game is started immediately when the freeze state is entered.

As shown in FIG. 16, the pseudo game processing period is a period starting from the start time (reference time) of the pseudo game processing period, and is a period during which pseudo games can be repeatedly performed (period T2 in FIG. 16). (hereinafter referred to as the "pseudo game repeatable period"), and the period following the pseudo game repeatable period until the freeze state ends (period T2 of period T1 in FIG. 16). (hereinafter referred to as the "waiting period") may also be included. The pseudo game repeatable period ends at a predetermined time (in the example of FIG. 16, 37000 ms has elapsed) from the reference time. Note that the end time of the pseudo game repeatable period may be a fixed value such as 3700 ms or 4000 ms from the reference time, or may be selected from a plurality of times.

As shown in FIG. 16, the pseudo game repeatable period includes a pattern matching period (period T3 in FIG. 16) that starts from the reference time, and a pattern pattern tolerance period (period T3 in FIG. 16) that follows the pattern matching period (period T3 in FIG. 16). (excluding the T3 period of the T2 period). In addition, in this embodiment, when the pseudo game processing period includes both a period in which pattern alignment is not possible and a pattern alignment tolerance period, the pattern alignment tolerance period is not included, and only the pattern alignment is not allowed period is included. In this case, the period in which the symbols cannot be matched may not be included, and only the period in which the symbols can be matched may be included.

The symbol alignment prohibition period is a period in which a pseudo game in which the symbols "BAR" temporarily stop in a predetermined arrangement on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R (hereinafter referred to as "BAR alignment pseudo game") is not permitted. It is.

Further, the symbol matching tolerance period is a period in which a BAR matching pseudo game is permitted. The BAR match pseudo game is advantageous for the player when the "BAR" symbols temporarily stop in a predetermined sequence on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R (due to the BAR match) and the player wins the push order bell. The AT period that notifies the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R (state including the initial game number notification effect (pseudo game) in FIG. 6, AT, AT end screen, initial game number notification effect (when pulling back), and ending. This is to notify the player of the initial number of games (hereinafter referred to as "AT initial number of games") determined by the initial number of games determining means 116 during the period of . When the BAR matching pseudo game is executed under the control of a pseudo game control means 118 during the pattern matching permissible period and the BAR matching becomes complete, the game waits until the end of the pseudo game processing period in the state of the BAR matching. At this time, even if the BAR matching pseudo game is executed under the control of the pseudo game control means 118 during the symbol matching permissible period and the BAR matching becomes complete, the end time of the pseudo game processing period is not changed. In this embodiment, the initial number of AT games is determined by a predetermined lottery from 40, 50, 60, . . . , 180, 190, 200, and 300 in increments of 10 from 40 to 200. Therefore, the BAR matching pseudo game is executed and the BAR matching is performed only when the initial number of AT games is 100 or more. In other words, the completion of the BAR will notify the player that the initial number of AT games is 100 or more. Note that the number of N (N is plural) AT initial games that can be set as the AT initial game number may be a combination other than the above. In addition, the BAR matching pseudo game is executed and the BAR matching is performed from the one with the largest value among N (N is plural) AT initial game numbers that can be set as the AT initial game number M (M is 1 It is preferable that the number of AT initial games is greater than or equal to the number of AT initial games (any one of 1 to N-1).

During the symbol matching tolerance period, the pseudo game is controlled by the pseudo game control means 118 to either make the pseudo game a BAR matching pseudo game, or temporarily stop the symbols "BAR" in a predetermined arrangement on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. It is determined by a predetermined lottery whether or not to play a pseudo game (hereinafter referred to as "BAR irregular pseudo game"). The mechanism of the predetermined lottery is not particularly limited. In addition, when the pseudo game is determined to be a BAR matching pseudo game, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped in order from the left under the control of the pseudo game control means 118, and the BAR matching (hereinafter referred to as " Alternatively, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped in order from the right and the BAR is aligned (hereinafter referred to as "BAR aligned (right)"). ) will be determined by a predetermined lottery. The mechanism of the predetermined lottery is not particularly limited. During the pattern alignment permissible period, under the control of the pseudo game control means 118, if a BAR uneven pseudo game is determined, a BAR uneven pseudo game is performed in which the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped in order from the left. On the other hand, if it is determined to be a BAR-aligned pseudo game with all BARs (left), it becomes a BAR-aligned pseudo game in which the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped in order from the left. When the BAR-aligned pseudo game (right) is determined, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to be stopped in order from the right to become the BAR-aligned pseudo game.

In this embodiment, there are multiple types of pseudo game repeatable periods, including a first pattern that does not include a period in which pattern alignment is allowed, but includes a period in which pattern alignment is not possible, and a start pattern that includes a pattern alignment permission period and in which pattern alignment is allowed. There are multiple types of second patterns with different times. In this embodiment, the start times of the symbol alignment permissible periods in the plurality of types of second patterns are 0s, 10s, 20s, and 30s from the reference time. In addition, in the second pattern, when the start time of the symbol matching permissible time is 0s, the pseudo game repeatable period does not include the symbol matching impossible period, but includes the symbol matching permissible period. When the initial number of AT games is 100 or more, the pseudo game control means 118 selects one pattern from among the first pattern and a plurality of second patterns by a predetermined lottery, and determines the pseudo game repeatable period. Set to . Note that the predetermined lottery mechanism is not particularly limited. Further, when the number of AT initial games is less than 100, the pseudo game control means 118 determines the first pattern and sets the pseudo game repeatable period to the first pattern.

Next, the processing by the pseudo game control means 118 in the pseudo game processing period of FIG. 16 will be explained using FIG. 17. Note that the number of AT initial games is determined before starting the pseudo game process.

The pseudo game control means 118 determines one period of the frozen state from among 70s, 80s, and 90s. Furthermore, if the AT initial number of games already determined by the initial number of games determining means 116 is 100 or more before starting the initial number of games notification effect (pseudo game) in FIG. If the repeatable period is determined to be one of the above-mentioned first pattern and the plurality of types of second patterns, and the already determined number of AT initial games is less than 100, the pseudo-game repeatable period is set to the second pattern. Decide on pattern 1.

The pseudo game control means 118 sets the timer TM1 to the length (time length) of a period (pseudo game processing period) T1 from the reference time to the end time of the frozen state determined by the determined period of the frozen state (step S101 ). For example, when the period of the frozen state is determined to be 70 seconds, the pseudo game control means 118 controls the timer TM1 for the period from the reference time of 8,000 ms to the end time of the frozen state of 70,000 ms determined by the period of the frozen state of 70,000 ms (pseudo game processing period) Set the time length of T1 = 62000 (70000-8000).

Further, the pseudo game control means 118 sets the timer TM2 to the time length of the pseudo game repeatable period T2 (in the example of FIG. 16, T2=37000 ms) (step S102).

Further, the pseudo game control means 118 sets the timer TM3 to the time length of the period T3 determined based on the determined pattern (step S103). If the first pattern has been determined, there is no symbol matching permissible period, and the time length of period T3, which is the same time length as the pseudo game repeatable period T2 set in timer TM2 (if T2 = 37000 ms) , set T3=37000ms). In this case, when the determination process in step S106, which will be described later, is performed, it will always be determined that the time length of period T3 has not timed out. In addition, if one of the plurality of second patterns is determined, the timer TM3 is set to the time length of the period T3 from the reference time to the start time of the pattern alignment permissible period determined based on the determined second pattern. Set to . For example, if the second pattern in which the start time of the symbol matching permissible period is 0 s has been determined, the timer TM3 is set to the time length of the period T3=0 ms (in this case, there is no pattern matching impossible period). In this case, when the determination process in step S106, which will be described later, is performed, it will always be determined that the time length of period T3 has expired. In addition, when the second pattern in which the start time of the symbol alignment permissible period is 10 seconds has been determined, the timer TM3 is set to the time length of the period T3=10000 ms.

After setting the timers TM1, TM2, and TM3, the timers TM1, TM2, and TM3 start measuring time.

The pseudo game control means 118 starts a pseudo game by rotating the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R in a pseudo manner (step S104).

The pseudo game control means 118 determines whether the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has timed up based on the timer TM2 (step S105), and when it is determined that the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has timed up. (Step S105: YES), the process advances to Step S112.

If it is determined in step S105 that the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has not timed out (step S105: NO), the pseudo game control means 118 determines whether the period T3 has timed out based on the timer TM3. Determination is made (step S106). If it is determined in step S106 that the period T3 has not timed out (step S106: NO), the pseudo game control means 118 determines that the current time is within the symbol matching prohibition period, and controls the current pseudo game. A BAR irregularity pseudo game in which the symbols "BAR" do not temporarily stop in a predetermined arrangement is determined (step S107), and the process proceeds to step S109. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106 that the period T3 has timed out (step S106: YES), the pseudo game control means 118 determines that the current time is within the pattern alignment allowable period, and A predetermined lottery determines whether the game will be a BAR matching pseudo game in which the symbols "BAR" temporarily stop in a predetermined arrangement, or a BAR irregular pseudo game in which the symbols "BAR" do not temporarily stop in a predetermined arrangement, and the BAR If it is decided to play a matching pseudo game, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped in order from the left to a BAR matching (left), or BAR matching (right) is to temporarily stop the left, middle, and right reels in order from the right. It is determined by a predetermined lottery (step S108), and the process proceeds to step S109.

In addition, if the time length of the pseudo game repeatable period T2 set in the timer TM2 in step S102 is equal to the time length of the period T3 set in the timer TM3 in step S103 (when there is no pattern matching permissible period), the step When the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has not timed up in S105 (step S105: NO), the period T3 has not timed out in step S106 (step S106: NO), and the process always advances to step S107. Further, if the time length of the period T3 set in the timer TM3 in step S103 is 0 ms (if there is no period in which pattern matching is not possible), and if the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has not timed out in step S105 (step S105 : NO), the period T3 has timed out in step S106 (step S106: YES), and the process always proceeds to step S108.

The pseudo game control means 118 waits for a pseudo stop operation to pseudo stop the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. When the pseudo-stop operation is performed, the pseudo-game control means sequentially moves the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R from the left to the symbol "BAR" if the BAR irregular pseudo game is determined in step S107 or step S108. A pseudo-stop is made so that the lines are not arranged in a predetermined order. In addition, when the pseudo game with all BARs (left) is determined in step S108, the pseudo game control means 118 controls the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the symbol "BAR" appears in a predetermined order from the left. If it is decided in step S108 to play a BAR-aligned (right) BAR-aligned pseudo game, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are sequentially stopped from the right until the symbol "BAR" is aligned. They are temporarily stopped so that they are lined up (step S109), and the process proceeds to step S110. Note that even if the symbols "BAR" are arranged in a predetermined arrangement, the remaining time of the pseudo game processing period T1 and the pseudo game repeatable period T2 is not changed. That is, even if the symbols "BAR" are arranged in a predetermined order, the end time of the pseudo game processing period T1 and the end time of the pseudo game repeatable period T2 are not changed. Further, the state in which the symbols "BAR" are arranged in a predetermined arrangement in step S109 is maintained until the pseudo game processing period T1 times out.

In addition, a timer is separately provided to measure the period (hereinafter referred to as "pseudo stop operation acceptance period") whose start time is the start of the pseudo game in step S104 during which the pseudo stop operation in step S109 is accepted, and the pseudo stop operation is performed. When the operation acceptance period has timed out, the process proceeds to step S110 even if no pseudo-stop operation has been accepted in step S109, and it is determined that the BARs are not aligned in step S110 (described later) (step S110: NO), and step S104 You may proceed to In this case, if the pseudo-stop operation is not performed, the pseudo-game repeatable period T2 will eventually time up in step S105 (step S105: YES), and the process will proceed to step S112.

In addition, a timer is separately provided to measure a period (pseudo stop operation acceptance period) in which the pseudo stop operation in step S109 is accepted and the pseudo game start in step S104 is the start time, so that the pseudo stop operation is not performed in step S109. When the pseudo-stop operation acceptance period times out, regardless of the lottery results in step S107 or step S108, for example, even if it is determined in step S108 that the BARs will be aligned, the left, middle, or right side will be moved to prevent the BARs from aligning. The reels 13L, 13M, and 13R may be stopped and the process may proceed to step S110. However, if the player stops until the first stop or second stop before the pseudo-stop operation acceptance period times out, and then leaves it unattended and the pseudo-stop operation acceptance period times out, the player cannot participate in the pseudo-game. The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R may be stopped according to the lottery results in step S107 and step S108. In this case, if it is determined in step S108 that the BARs are aligned, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped so that the BARs are aligned.

Further, when the pseudo game repeatable period T2 times out without a pseudo stop operation being performed in step S109, it is determined that the BAR is aligned in step S108, regardless of the lottery results in step S107 or step S108. However, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R may be stopped so that the BARs are not aligned, and the process proceeds to step S110. However, if the simulated game is stopped until the first stop or the second stop before the simulated game repeatable period T2 times out, and the simulated game is left unattended after that, and the simulated game repeatable period T2 times out, the player will not participate in the simulated game. The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R may be stopped according to the lottery results in step S107 and step S108. In this case, if it has been determined in step S108 that the BARs are aligned, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped so that the BARs are aligned.

The pseudo game control means 118 determines whether or not the symbols "BAR" are arranged in a predetermined order (whether the BARs are arranged) (step S110), and if it is determined that the BARs are not arranged (step S110: NO). ), the process returns to step S104.

If it is determined in step S110 that the BARs are aligned (step S110: YES), the pseudo game control means 118 determines whether the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has timed out based on the timer TM2 ( In step S111), if it is determined that the pseudo game repeatable period T2 has not timed out (step S111: NO), the current time is still within the symbol permissible period, so the process returns to step S111, and the pseudo game repeatable period If it is determined that T2 has timed up (step S111: YES), the process advances to step S112.

The pseudo game control means 118 determines whether the pseudo game processing period T1 has timed up based on the timer TM1 (step S112), and if it is determined that the pseudo game processing period T1 has not timed up ( Step S112: NO), since the current time is still within the pseudo game processing period, the process returns to step S112, and if it is determined that the pseudo game processing period T1 has timed up (step S112: YES), the process shown in FIG. The pseudo game process ends. In addition, when the pseudo game processing period T1 times out, that is, when the frozen state ends, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M are activated in order to perform the normal game in response to the operation of the start switch 19 that triggered the freezing state. , 13R are randomly delayed to start normal rotation.

Next, the flow of the pseudo game in the pseudo game processing period of FIG. 16 will be explained using FIG. 18.

The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R start rotating (FIG. 18(a)).

First, the BAR irregularity pseudo-game (in this embodiment, the BAR irregularity pseudo-game is designed to stop the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R in order from the left) during the period when the symbols are not aligned or when the symbols are allowed. ) will be explained below. First, the left reel 13L is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops on each of the upper, middle, and lower rows (Figure 18 (b-1)), and the middle reel 13M is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops on the middle row. (Figure 18(b-2)). Next, the right reel 13R is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" does not stop at any of the upper, middle, and lower rows (FIG. 18(b-3)). The symbol "BAR" is not aligned, the pseudo game continues, and after waiting about 0.5ms after the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stop, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R start rotating. (Figure 18(b-4)). Note that FIG. 18(b-4) returns to FIG. 18(a), and the processing after FIG. 18(b-1) or after FIG. 18(d-1) is performed.

Next, we will explain the case where the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped so that the symbols "BAR" are aligned in a predetermined sequence from the left during the symbol alignment tolerance period. do. First, the left reel 13L is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops on each of the upper, middle, and lower rows (Figure 18 (b-1)), and the middle reel 13M is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops on the middle row. (Figure 18(b-2)). Next, the right reel 13R is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops at each of the upper, middle, and lower rows (FIG. 18(c-1)). When the symbols "BAR" are aligned, the symbols "BAR" remain aligned until the end time of the freeze state is reached. Even if the symbols "BAR" are aligned, the end time of the pseudo game processing period and the end time of the pseudo game repeatable period are not changed.

Next, we will explain the case where the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are temporarily stopped so that the symbols "BAR" are aligned in a predetermined sequence from the right during the symbol alignment permissible period. do. First, the right reel 13R is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops on each of the upper, middle, and lower rows (Fig. 18 (d-1)), and the middle reel 13M is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops on the middle row. (Figure 18(d-2)). Next, the left reel 13L is stopped so that the symbol "BAR" stops at each of the upper, middle, and lower rows (FIG. 18(d-3)). When the symbols "BAR" are aligned, the symbols "BAR" remain aligned until the end time of the freeze state is reached. Even if the symbols "BAR" are aligned, the end time of the pseudo game processing period and the end time of the pseudo game repeatable period are not changed.

In addition, in Figure 18 (c-1), there is an example where the triple line is aligned downward to the right, aligned in the middle row, and aligned upward to the right, but for example, the triple BAR symbol on the right reel 13R is one frame below. You can shift the lines so that they are lined up as a double line that aligns down to the right and line up in the middle, or you can shift down two frames and line up as a single line that aligns down and to the right. Note that the same can be said of FIG. 18(d-3).

Also, if you line up with a single line, the initial number of AT games is 100 or more, if you line up with a double line, the number of initial AT games is 200 or more, and if you line up with a triple line, the number of initial AT games is 300 or more. As shown in FIG.

Further, although the case where the left reel 13L is stopped in order and the case where the right reel 13R is stopped in order has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pseudo-stop operation requires the player to operate the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R;・You may stop the right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R in order. For example, when the middle stop switch 21M is stopped first, the middle reel 13M is stopped first, and the right stop switch 21R is stopped second. When the stop operation is performed, the right reel 13R may be stopped second.

In addition, the pseudo-stop basically stops from the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R where the player's operation of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is detected (hereinafter referred to as "game play"). 21L, 21M, 21R. For example, each time the start switch 19 is pressed, the left/center - The right reels 13L, 13M, 13R may be pseudo-stopped (hereinafter referred to as "automatic pseudo-stop"), and when the player pseudo-stops, the left, middle, right stop switches 21L, 21M, The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped when the operation of 21R is detected, but for automatic pseudo-stopping, the reels may be stopped not only sequentially from the left reel 13L but also from the right reel 13R. . Furthermore, the trigger for automatic pseudo-stopping is not limited to the start switch 19, but may be the maximum bet switch 17.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, whether to stop from the left reel 13L or from the right reel 13R is determined by lottery, but it may be determined whether the player pseudo-stop or automatic pseudo-stop occurs. For example, in the case of a player pseudo-stop, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped according to the order of operation of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, but when an automatic pseudo-stop occurs, The reel may be stopped in accordance with the determination result of whether to stop from the left reel 13L or from the right reel 13R.

Next, using FIG. 19, a description will be given of the notification related to the provision of the number of AT initial games including candidates for the number of AT initial games performed during the waiting period of FIG. 16. Note that this notification is performed at least during the standby period. Note that this notification is performed by the performance content determining means 201 and the display control means 202.

During the standby period, a plurality of AT initial game numbers are displayed in the display area 1001 of the liquid crystal display 27, as shown in FIGS. 19(a) to 19(d). In this embodiment, the number of AT initial games is 40, 50, 60, . . . , 180, 190, 200, 300, as described above. 5 (including the determined number of AT initial games) are randomly selected and displayed in the display area 1001. Note that all the AT initial game numbers that can be set (in this embodiment, 40, 50, 60, . . . , 180, 190, 200, 300) may be displayed in the display area 1001.

The display area 1002 of the liquid crystal display 27 displays one of the five AT initial game numbers displayed in the display area 1001 in order from top to bottom, as shown in FIGS. 19(a) to 19(d). Display while scrolling. Note that after the number of AT initial games displayed at the bottom of display area 1001, the number of AT initial games displayed at the top of display area 1001 is now displayed in display area 1002. ing. The number of AT initial games displayed in the display area 1002 when the update of the display contents of the display area 1002 is stopped is the actual number of AT initial games assigned. In the example of FIG. 19, the update of the display contents of the display area 1002 stops in FIG. It is a number.

Note that updating of the display contents of the display area 1002 may be stopped during the standby period or may be stopped at the end of the standby time.

In the above embodiment, the initial number of AT games was explained as a bonus, but it is not limited to this, and for example, the expected value of the difference in the number of medals at AT (for example, the number of initial AT games and the AT The expected value of the difference in the number of medals in AT (which is calculated by multiplying the expected value of the difference in the number of medals per game) may be given as a bonus, and if there are multiple initial navigation times in AT. may offer the initial number of navigations using AT as a bonus.

Furthermore, during the period when the symbols cannot be matched, for example, a performance to encourage whether the BAR will be matched or a setting suggestion performance may be performed.

Hereinafter, the external signal control means 123 of the main CPU 61 mounted on the main control board 63 in FIG. The output of a plurality of types of external signals will be explained with reference to FIGS. 20 to 28. Note that there are two types of states of the plurality of types of external signals: a low level state and a high level state.

As mentioned above, the winning combination groups "ATALC" to "ATBRC" (pressing order bell: see Figure 10) have different payout numbers of medals depending on the operation mode (pressing order and pressing position) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. The operation modes of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that are advantageous for players who pay out a large number of medals when they do so (in this embodiment, the push order and push position (target symbol) that pay out the maximum number of medals) are notified. There are non-advantageous sections in which the notification is not permitted and advantageous sections in which the notification is permitted, and the section transition control means 110 controls the sections of the slot machine 1. The advantageous sections include the sections shown in FIG. 6, and the sections in which navigation is performed when the push order bell is won include the CZ preparation state and the AT state.

The multiple types of external signals include a first AT signal and a second AT signal related to the AT state (to be described later), an insertion signal that is related to the insertion of medals and becomes High level once per insertion of a medal, and a medal withdrawal signal. There is a payout signal that goes high once for each payout.

First, the output of the first AT signal and the second AT signal, which are external signals, will be explained using FIG. 20. Note that the CZ preparation state in FIG. 20 is the CZ preparation state in FIG. 6. Further, the CZ state in FIG. 20 is the state in the period between CZ and the CZ end screen in FIG. 6. Further, the AT state in FIG. 20 is a state during the AT period (initial game number notification effect (pseudo game), AT, AT end screen, initial game number notification effect (at the time of pullback), and ending period in FIG. 6).

As shown in FIG. 20, the external signal control means 123 responds to the first AT signal output to the external device when the AT state in which navigation is performed when the push order bell is won, for example, the start of the AT state. In the game, a process of inverting from Low level to High level is performed, and after a predetermined period has elapsed, a process of reversing from High to Low level is performed (see the part 2001 in FIG. 20). It is possible to determine the start of the AT state from the fact that the first AT signal has gone high, and it is also possible to know the number of times the AT state has occurred from the number of times the first AT signal has gone high. do.

In the AT state in which navigation is performed when the push order bell is won, the external signal control means 123 notifies (navigation) the operation modes of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that are advantageous to the player when the push order bell is won. The state (Low level, High level) of the second AT signal is controlled so that the eight times of the second AT signal become the High level of one time of the second AT signal. Due to this switching control, as shown in FIG. 20, the high-level second AT signal may be output multiple times in one AT state (see the portion 2003 in FIG. 20). Regarding the last high-level second AT signal, there are cases in which the number of times of navigation is 8, and cases where it is less than 8, such as 0 times or 1 time.

In connection with the CZ preparation state in which navigation is performed a maximum of three times less than eight times, the external signal control means 123 outputs the second AT signal at High level once in the CZ preparation state for one time. Control is performed to switch the state (Low level, High level) of the second AT signal so that the second AT signal is output (see the part 2002 in FIG. 20).

Switching control of the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) by the external signal control means 123 is performed as follows.

When switching the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) related to the AT state, the external signal control means 123 controls a predetermined game (hereinafter referred to as "first reversal processing game") after the transition of the AT state. ), the first inversion process of inverting the second AT signal from the Low level to the High level is performed at a predetermined opportunity of the first inversion process game.

Further, the external signal control means 123 controls the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R under a predetermined condition (in the present embodiment, in the AT state, excluding a predetermined excluded game, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are advantageous to the player by winning the push order bell). Each time the second AT signal re-inversion condition is satisfied, that is, the notification (navigation) of the operation mode is satisfied a predetermined number of times (eight times in this embodiment), the first re-inversion process is performed. A second inversion process is performed. At this time, if the navigation is performed, the navigation is counted as one of the eight times, regardless of whether the player performs the correct operation mode or the wrong operation mode. Specifically, the external signal control means 123 controls the second AT signal re-inversion processing game in the next game (hereinafter referred to as "first re-inversion processing game") after the game in which the second AT signal re-inversion condition is satisfied. At a predetermined timing of the first re-inversion process game, a first re-inversion process of re-inverting the second AT signal from High level to Low level is performed. Subsequently, the external signal control means 123 controls the second reversal processing game in a game that is at least one game after the first re-reversal processing game (hereinafter referred to as "second reversal processing game"). At a predetermined timing, a second inversion process is performed on the second AT signal to invert it from Low level to High level.

Furthermore, even if the re-inversion condition for the second AT signal is not satisfied, the external signal control means 123 controls the second AT signal to go high at a predetermined timing after the final game in the AT state. A second re-inversion process is performed to re-invert the level from the low level.

In this embodiment, the first reversal processing game described above is the third game in the AT state. Note that the first reversal processing game is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the second game or the fourth game in the AT state. Further, in this embodiment, the second reversal processing game is the next game (first re-inversion processing game) after the game in which the second AT signal re-inversion condition is satisfied. Note that the second reversal processing game is not limited to this, and may be played two or more games later than the first re-reversal processing game, for example, a game one after the first re-reversal processing game. .

Further, (1) a predetermined opportunity to perform the first reversal process in the first reversal process game, (2) a predetermined opportunity to perform the first re-inversion process in the first re-inversion process game, (3) Second reversal process The predetermined opportunity to perform the second reversal process in the game is after the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate and become steady rotation.・A common trigger within the period before the operation of the middle and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R became effective (for example, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerated to steady rotation. (timing immediately after, timing immediately before the operation of the left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, etc.), and is common to (1) to (3). These opportunities are just examples and are not particularly limited. Note that the predetermined trigger in (1) may not be the same as the predetermined triggers in (2) and (3), but may be different.

Further, the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games include, among the games in the AT state, the games from the start game in the AT state to the game one game before the first reversal processing game, and the games from the first re-reversal processing game to the first reversal processing game. These are the games up to one game before the reversal processing game No. 2. In other words, in the games from the start game in the AT state to the game one game before the first reversal process game, if the push order bell is won and a notification (navigation) of an operation mode advantageous to the player is performed. However, the navigation system is not included in the 8th round mentioned above. For example, if the first reversal processing game is the third game in the AT state, a game from the start game in the AT state to one game before the first reversal processing game (the second game in the AT state) ) (starting game in the AT state, second game in the AT state), even if navigation is performed, the navigation is not included in the eight times mentioned above. In addition, in the games from the first re-reversal processing game to the game one game before the second reversal processing game, notification (navigation) of the operation mode advantageous to the player who has won the push order bell is performed. Even if this is the case, the navigation system is not included in the eight times mentioned above. For example, if the second reversal processing game is the next game after the first re-reversal processing game, the games from the first re-reversal processing game to the game one game before the second reversal processing game (the first Even if navigation is performed in the re-reversal processing game), the navigation is not included in the eight times mentioned above. In addition, if the second reversal processing game is one game after the first re-reversal processing game, a game from the first re-reversal processing game to a game one game before the second reversal processing game (the first re-reversal processing game) Even if navigation is performed in the games up to (the next game after the processing game) (the first re-inversion processing game, the next game after the first re-inversion processing game), the navigation will not be included in the 8 times above. It looks like this.

The CZ preparation state is a period in which the maximum number of navigations is three times and the second AT signal re-inversion condition of eight navigations is not satisfied. In switching the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) related to the CZ preparation state, the external signal control means 123 controls the start game in the CZ preparation state, for example, based on the transition of the CZ preparation state. At a predetermined timing of the game, a third inversion process is performed on the second AT signal to invert it from a Low level to a High level. In addition, even if the second AT signal re-inversion condition that the navigation is performed eight times is not satisfied, the external signal control means 123 is configured to control the pre-reversal after the last game in the CZ preparation state based on the end of the CZ preparation state, for example. At a predetermined timing, a third re-inversion process is performed on the second AT signal, in which the second AT signal is re-inverted from the High level to the Low level.

Hereinafter, a game in which the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) is switched by the external signal control means 123 will be described using a specific example with reference to FIGS. 21 to 23. Note that the RWM 65 in FIG. 3 is provided with a navigation counter used to confirm that navigation has been performed eight times. In addition, in this embodiment, the timing for updating the counter value of the navigation counter based on the notification (navigation) of the operation mode that is advantageous to the player after winning the push order bell in each game is - This is the time when the rotation of the middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R starts, and this timing is appropriately referred to as "navigation counter update processing timing." Note that the navigation counter update processing timing is not limited to this. In addition, when the player wins the push order bell and is informed (navigation) of an advantageous operation mode for the player, the navigation counter counts down by 1 until the player performs the correct operation mode or the player performs the wrong operation mode. Whether you do it or not, it will be done.

In the 10th game, one game before the CZ preparation state, as shown in FIG. 21, the external signal control means 123 updates the counter value of the navigation counter from "0" to "8". At the same time, in the 10th game, the external signal control means 123 turns the navigation counting flag from "OFF" (non-counting) to "ON" at a predetermined timing in the game after the navigation counter update processing timing. Switch to (counting).

In the starting game (11th game) in the CZ preparation state, as shown in FIG. 21, the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "8". . In addition, when the navigation is performed by winning the push order bell in the starting game in the CZ preparation state, the navigation counting flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "ON" (counting), so the counter value of the navigation counter is set to "8". ' will be counted down by one to '7'.

Furthermore, in the starting game in the CZ preparation state (the 11th game), as shown in FIG. , performs a third inversion process of inverting from Low level to High level.

In the 12th game, as shown in FIG. 21, the external signal control means 123 selects the push order bell and performs navigation, and the navigation count flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is set to "ON" ( Therefore, the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "8" to "7".

In each game from the 13th game to the 15th game, as shown in FIG. 21, the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "7". In the 16th game, as shown in FIG. 21, the external signal control means 123 selects the push order bell and navigation is performed, and the navigation count flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is set to "ON" ( Therefore, the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "7" to "6". In each game from the 17th game to the 22nd game, as shown in FIG. 21, the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "6". In the 23rd game, as shown in FIG. 21, the external signal control means 123 selects the push order bell and navigation is performed, and the navigation count flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is set to "ON" ( Therefore, the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "6" to "5". In the 24th game, as shown in Figure 21, the push order bell is won, but since the maximum number of navigations in the CZ preparation state has already been reached, which is 3, navigation is not performed and the navigation counter is The counter value of is maintained at "5".

In the 25th game (the end game of the CZ preparation state), as shown in FIG. 21, the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "5". . In the 25th game, although the number of times of navigation has not reached 8, since it is an end game in the CZ preparation state, the external signal control means 123 controls the counter value of the navigation counter as shown in FIG. is updated from "5" to "0", and the navigation count flag is switched from "ON" (counting) to "OFF" (non-counting) at a predetermined timing in the game after the navigation counter update processing timing. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the external signal control means 123 controls the second AT signal to re-invert from the High level to the Low level at a predetermined timing after the end game of the CZ preparation state. 3. Perform the re-inversion process.

Note that the counter value "0" of the navigation counter is maintained until it is updated to "8" in the game one game before the start game in the AT state (the 49th game). In addition, the state of the navigation counting flag "OFF" (non-counting) is "ON" (counting) in the game one game before the first reversal processing game in the AT state (the second game in the AT state). will be maintained until updated. Further, the low level of the second AT signal is maintained until it is inverted to high level in the first inversion processing game in the AT state (the third game in the AT state).

In the 49th game, one game before entering the AT state, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the counter value of the navigation counter changes from "0" to "8" by the external signal control means 123. Updated.

In the starting game (the 50th game) in the AT state, the navigation counting flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "OFF" (non-counting), so whether the push order bell is won and the navigation is performed or not depends on whether or not navigation is performed. Regardless, the counter value of the navigation counter is not counted down by 1 and is maintained at "8". In FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), in the starting game in the AT state, the push order bell is won and navigation is performed, but the counter value of the navigation counter remains "8".

In the second game (51st game) in the AT state, the navigation counting flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "OFF" (non-counting), so the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. Regardless of whether or not, the counter value of the navigation counter is not counted down by 1 and is maintained at "8". In FIGS. 22(a) and (b), the push order bell is not won in the second game in the AT state, and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter remains at "8". There is. Incidentally, even if the push order bell is won in the second game in the AT state and navigation is to be performed, the counter value of the navigation counter remains "8".

As mentioned above, the games from the start game in the AT state (the 50th game) to the game one game before the first reversal processing game (the 51st game) (the 50th game, the 51st game) game), the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "8" without being updated. In other words, in the games (50th game, 51st game) from the start game in the AT state (50th game) to the game (51st game) that is one game before the first reversal processing game. The navigation that wins the pressing order bell is not included in the eight navigations that are the second AT signal re-inversion condition.

In addition, in the second game in the AT state (the game one game before the first reversal processing game), the external signal control means 123 controls the predetermined signal in the game after the navigation counter update processing timing. The navigation counting flag is switched from "OFF" (non-counting) to "ON" (counting) at the appropriate timing.

In the third game (52nd game: first reversal processing game) in the AT state, as shown in FIGS. Since the winner is elected and navigation is to be performed, and the navigation count flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "ON" (counting), the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "8" to "7".

Further, in the third game (first reversal processing game) in the AT state, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 controls the At a predetermined timing, a first inversion process of inverting the second AT signal from a Low level to a High level is performed.

In the 53rd game, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 controls the navigation counter update processing timing because the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. Since the counting flag is "ON" (counting), the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "7" to "6".

In the 54th game, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "6".

In each of the 55th, 56th, and 57th games, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 determines that the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. Since the navigation count flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "ON" (counting), the counter value of the navigation counter is changed from "6" to "5", from "5" to "4", and from "4". Count down by 1 to "3".

In the 58th game, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "3".

In each of the 59th and 60th games, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 controls the navigation counter by winning the push order bell and performing navigation. Since the navigation count flag at the update processing timing is "ON" (counting), the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "3" to "2" and from "2" to "1".

In the 61st game, as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 controls the navigation at the navigation counter update processing timing because the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. Since the counting flag is "ON" (counting), the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "1" to "0".

In the 61st game, the counter value of the navigation counter changed from "1" to "0", which means that the second AT signal re-inversion condition was met, that is, the number of navigations reached 8 times. Therefore, the external signal control means 123 updates the counter value of the navigation counter to "8" as shown in FIGS. At this timing, the navigation counting flag is switched from "ON" (counting) to "OFF" (non-counting).

In the 62nd game (first re-inversion processing game), the navigation counting flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "OFF" (non-counting), so it is difficult to determine whether or not the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. Regardless of the situation, the counter value of the navigation counter is not counted down by 1 and is maintained at "8". For example, as shown in FIG. 22(a), if the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "8". Further, even when the navigation is performed after winning the push order bell as shown in FIG. 22(b), the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "8".

As described above, the games from the first re-reversal processing game (the 62nd game) to the game one game before the second reversal processing game (the 63rd game) (the 62nd game) In this case, the counter value of the navigation counter is maintained at "8" without being updated. In other words, the push in the games from the first re-reversal processing game (the 62nd game) to the game one game before the second reversal processing game (the 63rd game) (the 62nd game) The navigation that wins the first bell is not included in the eight navigations that are the condition for re-inversion of the second AT signal.

Furthermore, in the 62nd game (one game before the second reversal processing game), the external signal control means 123 performs navigation counting at a predetermined timing in the game after the navigation counter update processing timing. Switch the flag from "OFF" (non-counting) to "ON" (counting).

In addition, in the 62nd game (first re-inversion processing game), as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 controls the At this moment, the second AT signal is subjected to a first re-inversion process of inverting it from High level to Low level.

In the 63rd game (second reversal processing game), as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the push order bell is not won and navigation is not performed, so the counter value of the navigation counter is It is maintained at "8". In addition, in the second reversal processing game, if the push order bell is won and navigation is to be performed, the navigation counting flag at the navigation counter update processing timing is "ON" (counting), so The counter value of the navigation counter will be counted down by one from "8" to "7".

In addition, in the 63rd game (second reversal processing game), as shown in FIGS. 22(a) and 22(b), the external signal control means 123 controls the Taking this opportunity, a second inversion process of inverting the second AT signal from Low level to High level is performed.

Note that from the 64th game onwards, the same processing as from the 53rd game to the 63rd game is performed.

In the 108th game (the end game in the AT state), as shown in FIG. 23, the external signal control means 123 controls the navigation counter update processing timing because the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. Since the counting flag is "ON" (counting), the counter value of the navigation counter is counted down by one from "5" to "4". In the 108th game, although the number of navigations has not reached 8, it is an end game in the AT state, so as shown in FIG. 23, the external signal control means 123 changes the counter value of the navigation counter. The flag is updated from "4" to "0", and the navigation count flag is switched from "ON" (counting) to "OFF" (non-counting) at a predetermined timing in the game after the navigation counter update processing timing. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the external signal control means 123 controls the second AT signal to invert the second AT signal from the High level to the Low level again at a predetermined timing after the end game in the AT state. Perform re-inversion processing.

The trigger for switching the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) by the external signal control means 123 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 24 to 28.

As shown in FIGS. 24 to 28, when the external signal control means 123 has won a winning combination with a payout of medals, the external signal control means 123 transmits a payout signal to an external device that becomes High level for the number of medals of the winning combination. Output to. In order to avoid interference between this payout signal and other external signals, the external signal control means 123 is configured to It is configured to wait for switching of an external signal (first wait). For example, if the start switch 19 is operated within the first wait period, the output of the input signal is started after the first wait period ends.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 24 to 28, the external signal control means 123 outputs an input signal to the external device that reaches a high level corresponding to the number of medals inserted by operating the start switch 19. In order to avoid interference between this input signal and other external signals, the external signal control means 123 controls the external signal control means 123 to It is configured to wait for switching of an external signal (second wait).

First, the trigger for the first reversal process in the first reversal process game that switches the state (Low level, High level) of the second AT signal will be explained using FIG.

In the third game (fiftieth game: first reversal processing game) in the AT state, the external signal control means 123 controls the second AT at a predetermined timing of the first reversal processing game. A first inversion process is performed to invert the signal from a low level to a high level. As shown in FIG. 24, the external signal control means 123 performs the first reversal process when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate to steady rotation in the first reversal process game. After that, there is a trigger (for example, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate and rotate steadily) before the operation of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R becomes effective. (timing immediately after the stop switch 21L, middle, right stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, etc.). By setting the timing for performing the first reversal processing in this manner, it becomes possible to perform the first reversal processing outside the period of the first weight or the second wait.

Next, using FIG. 25, the timing of the first re-inversion processing in the first re-inversion processing game that switches the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level), and the timing of the first re-inversion processing in the second re-inversion processing game are explained. The trigger for the second reversal process will be explained.

The external signal control means 123 controls, in the next game (the 62nd game: the first re-inversion processing game) after the game in which the number of navigations in the AT state reaches 8 (the 61st game), the At a predetermined timing of the first re-inversion process game, a first re-inversion process is performed in which the second AT signal is re-inverted from High level to Low level. As shown in FIG. 25, the external signal control means 123 performs the first re-inversion process when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate to a steady state in the first re-inversion process game. After the start of rotation, there is an opportunity (for example, when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate (timing immediately after steady rotation is reached, timing immediately before operations on the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R become effective, etc.). By setting the timing for performing the first re-inversion processing in this manner, it becomes possible to perform the first re-inversion processing outside the period of the first weight or the second weight.

The external signal control means 123 controls the first re-inversion processing game in the AT state in a game (63rd game: second reversal processing game) that is one game after the first re-inversion processing game (62nd game). 2. Inversion Processing At a predetermined timing of the game, a second inversion process is performed to invert the second AT signal from a Low level to a High level. As shown in FIG. 25, the external signal control means 123 performs the second reversal processing when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate to steady rotation in the second reversal processing game. After that, there is a trigger (for example, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate and rotate steadily) before the operation of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R becomes effective. (timing immediately after the stop switch 21L, middle, right stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, etc.). By setting the timing for performing the second reversal processing as described above, it becomes possible to perform the second reversal processing outside the period of the first wait or the second wait.

The opportunity for the first reversal process in the first reversal process game explained using FIG. 24, the opportunity for the first re-inversion process in the first re-inversion process game explained using FIG. The opportunity for the second reversal process in the second reversal process game described using FIG. 25 is a common opportunity within the game.

Next, the timing of the second re-inversion process related to the end of the AT state in which the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) is switched will be explained using FIG.

The external signal control means 123 performs a second re-inversion process of re-inverting the second AT signal from High level to Low level at a predetermined timing after the 108th game (the end game of the AT state). conduct. The trigger for the external signal control means 123 to perform the second re-inversion process is when the first weight provided after the output of the payout signal as shown in FIG. This is the timing immediately after the period ends, and if no medals are paid out in the end game in the AT state, the timing is immediately after the third reel stops.

Next, the timing of the third inversion process related to the start of the CZ preparation state in which the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) is switched will be explained using FIG. 27.

In the start game (11th game) in the CZ preparation state, the external signal control means 123 controls a third AT signal to invert the second AT signal from Low level to High level at a predetermined timing of the start game. Perform inversion processing. As shown in FIG. 27, the external signal control means 123 performs the third reversal process when the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate to steady rotation in the starting game in the CZ preparation state. After that, there is a trigger (for example, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate and rotate steadily) before the operation of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R becomes effective. (timing immediately after the stop switch 21L, middle, right stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, etc.). By setting the timing for performing the third reversal process in this way, it becomes possible to perform the third reversal process outside the period of the first wait or the second wait.

The trigger for the third reversal process in the CZ preparation state start game explained using FIG. 27 is the trigger for the first reversal process in the first reversal process game explained using FIG. The trigger for the first re-reversal processing in the first re-reversal processing game explained using FIG. 25 and the trigger for the second reversal processing in the second reversal processing game explained using FIG. It becomes. In this way, the trigger for the first reversal process, the trigger for the second reversal process, and the trigger for the third reversal process are common triggers. Although the gameplay is different between the CZ preparation state and the AT state, the trigger for changing the second AT signal from Low level to High level is different between the CZ preparation state (the trigger for the third reversal process) and the AT state (the first trigger). (the trigger for the reversal process and the trigger for the second reversal process). In other words, even if the game states have different game properties (CZ preparation state, AT state), the inversion process of the second AT signal can be made common.

Next, the timing of the third re-inversion process related to the end of the CZ preparation state in which the state of the second AT signal (Low level, High level) is switched will be explained using FIG.

The external signal control means 123 performs a third re-inversion process of re-inverting the second AT signal from High level to Low level at a predetermined opportunity after the 25th game (the end game of the CZ preparation state). I do. The trigger for the external signal control means 123 to perform the third re-inversion process is the first trigger provided after the output of the payout signal as shown in FIG. 28 when medals are paid out in the end game of the CZ preparation state. This is the timing immediately after the wait period ends, and if no medals are paid out in the end game of the CZ preparation state, the timing is immediately after the third reel stops.

Below are some of the winnings of the push order bell in the CZ preparation state (3 times from the first to the 3rd time) and the production performed when the push order bell is won during the AT period (the operation mode of the correct answer of the push order bell). The notification effect and the notification effect when the operation mode is correct will be explained.

In some of the winnings of the push order bell in the CZ preparation state (three times from the first to the third time) and in the case of the push order bell winning in the AT period, when the push order bell is won, the performance content determining means 201 The processing of the display control means 202 selects the component combination (corresponding to the "advantageous combination" of the present invention) that will yield the maximum payout with the winning order of pressing the bell among the multiple operation modes of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Notify the operation mode in which the symbol combinations are aligned on the winning line (hereinafter referred to as the "correct operation mode"; corresponds to the "specific operation mode" of the present invention) (corresponds to the "notification of the specific operation mode" of the present invention) A presentation (hereinafter referred to as "correct operation mode notification presentation") is performed. This correct operation mode consists of (1) the correct pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, and (2) the pressing order in which the combination of symbols of the constituent parts that will give you the maximum payout with the winning pressing order bell is aligned on the winning line. On the reel (in this embodiment, the first stopping reel: corresponds to the "specific variable display row" of the present invention), the symbol of the component winning the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the position. and the correct push position of the corresponding stop switch.

The correct operation mode notification performance includes information that shows the correct press order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the correct operation mode on the winning press order bell (corresponding to the "operation order notification" of the present invention). (hereinafter referred to as "correct operation order notification effect"), and the reel where the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the push position (in this embodiment, the An indicator symbol (included in the symbol array related to the first stop reel) that is an index of the correct press position on the stop switch (corresponding to the "specific stop operation means" of the present invention) corresponding to the first stop reel) A performance (hereinafter referred to as an "indicator pattern notification performance") that notifies the winning symbols of the constituent roles that will yield a payout (equivalent to the "indicator pattern" of the present invention) (corresponding to the "index pattern notification" of the present invention) ).

In the correct operation order notification performance, the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27 is used to display symbols other than the first stop reel, which may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the position of the press. Regarding the stop switches corresponding to the reels (second stop reel, third stop reel), the correct answers are placed in the positions corresponding to the second and third stop switches in the correct answer press order. The operating order "2" and "3" are displayed in the order of pressing. In addition, on the second and third stop reels, the symbol of the component winning the maximum payout will stop on the winning line, regardless of the pressing position of the corresponding stop switch, so the indicator symbol will not be announced. Instead, an announcement is made that allows the user to know the order in which to operate the corresponding stop switch. In this embodiment, the operation order "1" is not displayed at the position corresponding to the first stop switch (first stop reel) to be operated in the correct press order.

In the index symbol notification performance, the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27 is used to correspond to the first stop reel where the symbol of the constituent role that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position. Regarding the stop switch, the period during which the first stop reel, which is in steady rotation, makes one revolution, during which it is possible to draw the symbol of the component winning the maximum payout onto the winning line (for example, in the winning combination group "ATALC", the above-mentioned In the left reel BAR press period, in the winning combination group "ATBLC", the above left reel red 7 press period (corresponding to the "specific period corresponding to the indicator symbol" of the present invention) becomes the indicator for operating the stop switch. An indicator pattern (an indicator pattern that indicates the correct pressing position (operation timing) of the stop switch) is displayed at a position corresponding to the first stop switch (first stop reel) to be operated in the correct pressing order.

In the above-mentioned correct operation order notification performance and indicator symbol notification performance, the stop switch operated after the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel whose indicator symbol is notified in the indicator pattern notification performance is the stop switch corresponding to the second stop reel. There are two, a switch and a stop switch corresponding to the third stop reel, and for these two, indicator symbols are not notified, but information that shows the correct pressing order is provided.

According to the correct answer operation mode notification presentation (correct answer operation order notification presentation, index symbol notification presentation), operate the stop switch that is operated first in the correct press order of the winning push order bell, and If the first stop switch is operated during the period when it is possible to draw the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout on the first stop reel to the winning line (the order of pressing up to the first stop reel is correct, the first stop switch is The position pressed on the first stop reel is the correct answer), and the symbol of the component winning the maximum payout that is different from the index symbol (corresponding to the "specific symbol" of the present invention) stops on the winning line of the first stop reel. At this time, as a stop mode of the first stop reel, in some of the push order bells ("ATALC", "ATBLC", "ATALR", "ATBLR", "ATARL", "ATARC"), the indicator symbol is displayed on the display window. When the indicator symbol stops visibly within a predetermined display area (in this embodiment, the upper, middle, and lower rows) via the display window 11 (corresponding to the "first stop pattern" of the present invention), the indicator symbol There are cases where the display does not visibly stop within the predetermined display area (in this embodiment, the upper, middle, and lower rows) (corresponding to the "second stop pattern" of the present invention), but in any case, Also, a common effect (hereinafter referred to as "common correct answer notification effect") that informs the player that the operation mode regarding the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel is correct. (equivalent to "information performance"). In addition, as a stop mode of the first stop reel, the indicator symbol is always displayed on the display window 11 for the rest of the bells in the push order ("ATACL", "ATBCL", "ATACR", "ATBCR", "ATBRL", "ATBRC"). Although it does not visually stop within a predetermined display area (in this embodiment, the upper, middle, and lower rows) via A common correct answer notification performance is performed to notify a certain thing. In this embodiment, this common correct answer notification effect is performed by outputting a common correct answer sound called "JACKIN" (this is just an example, and is not limited to this) from the speakers 31L and 31R. . Note that the common correct answer notification effect is not limited to this, and may be, for example, playing a common video or blinking a lamp in a common pattern. In addition, as a stop mode of the first stop reel, the push order bell is set such that the indicator symbol is always visibly stopped within a predetermined display area (in this embodiment, the upper, middle, and lower rows) through the display window 11. If there is a problem, a common correct answer notification effect may be performed to notify the player that the operation mode regarding the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel is correct.

If the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the correct operation mode notified by the correct operation mode notification effect, the symbol combination of the constituent roles that will give you the maximum payout with the winning press order bell will be aligned on the winning line. .

If the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in an incorrect operation mode other than the correct operation mode notified by the correct operation mode notification effect, the winning push order bell will be used to select the component role that will give you the maximum payout. The symbol combinations do not line up on the winning line. For example, even if the first stop switch is operated in the correct order and position, if the second or third stop switch is in the incorrect order, The symbol combinations of the constituent roles that yield the maximum payout do not line up on the winning line.

Next, the correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) and common correct answer notification performance will be explained with reference to FIG. 29, taking the winning combination group "ATBLR" as an example.

Among the winning combinations of the winning combination group "ATBLR", "ATB left and right" (dividend: 15 pieces), which gives the maximum payout, will be won depending on the order in which the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed. "Left → Right → Middle (L → R → C)" (the correct pressing order), and the left reel 13L whose pressing position of the left stop switch 21L, which is operated first in the correct pressing order, is in steady rotation is 1. The right/middle stop switch 21R is within the above left reel red 7th press period, which is a part of the cycle period (correct press position), and is operated second and third in the correct press order. , 21M can be pressed at any position. The indicator for operating the left stop switch 21L within the above-mentioned left reel red 7th press period that can draw the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" on the left reel 13L in the "ATB left and right" symbol combination to the left reel 13L. The indicator symbol (the indicator symbol that is an indicator of the correct operation timing of the left stop switch 21L) is the symbol "Red 7" of symbol number "11" within the left reel red 7 press period.

If the winning role group "ATBLR" is won in a situation where the winning order bell has not reached 3 times in the CZ preparation state or in a situation where the AT period is in progress, the maximum The display screen of the liquid crystal display 27 is used to notify the correct operation mode (the correct press order, the correct press position) corresponding to "ATB left and right" which will give you a payout of 15 coins. It is done as follows. As shown in FIGS. 29(a) to (c), in the correct operation order notification performance in the correct operation mode notification, the correct press order corresponding to the winning combination group “ATBLR” is “Left → Right → Middle (L → R →C)", so on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27, regarding the middle/right stop switches 21M and 21R that are operated from the second in the correct press order, the order of operating the middle stop switch 21M is "3". It is displayed at a position corresponding to the middle reel 13M, and the order of operating the right stop switch 21R, "2", is displayed at a position corresponding to the right reel 13R. In this embodiment, the order in which the left stop switch 21L is operated is not displayed at the position corresponding to the left reel 13L. Also, depending on the pressing position of the left stop switch 21L, it may or may not be possible to draw the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "ATB left and right", where the payout is maximum, to the middle row (winning line) of the left reel 13L, and there are cases where the winning symbol is not correct. In the indicator symbol notification in the operation mode notification, as shown in FIGS. 29(a) to 29(c), the left stop allows the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "ATB left and right", which has the maximum payout, to be drawn into the winning line. An index symbol "Red 7" serving as an index of the correct operation timing of the switch 21L is displayed at a position corresponding to the left reel 13L.

When the correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) shown in FIG. If it is operated within the above-mentioned 2nd left reel red 7th press period of the push period, the symbol number "ATB left and right" which is the winning symbol on the left reel 13L that will give you the maximum payout (15 pieces). Since it is possible to draw the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" onto the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" can be drawn onto the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L. )” stops. At this time, the left reel 13L stops as shown in FIG. 29(a), with the symbol "RP" with symbol number "9" in the upper row and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "10" in the middle row. ”, the symbol “Red 7” with symbol number “11” is on the lower row, and the indicator symbol “Red 7” is visible through the display window 11 within the predetermined display area (upper, middle, and lower rows of the left reel 13L) It has stopped. Regardless of the fact that the indicator symbol "Red 7" is visibly stopped in a predetermined display area (the upper, middle, and lower rows of the left reel 13L) through the display window 11, the operation mode regarding the left stop switch 21L is Since the answer was correct, in order to notify the player to that effect, a common correct answer notification is performed in which the correct answer sound of "Jackin" is output from the speakers 31L and 31R by the processing of the performance content determining means 201 and the audio control means 203. A performance is held. Furthermore, if the right and middle stop switches 21R and 21M, which are operated after the left stop switch 21L, are operated in the correct operation order, you will win "ATB left and right" which gives you the maximum payout (15 pieces). , if the operations are not performed in the correct operation order, a one-card winning combination of "incorrect push order AT8" is won.

Further, when the correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) shown in FIG. 29(b) is being performed, the left stop switch 21L is operated first, and the left reel red If operated during the above-mentioned 1st left reel red 7th press period during the 7th press period, the symbol that is the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of "ATB left and right" that will give you the maximum payout (15 pieces) Since it is possible to draw the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the number "15" onto the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L, the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with the symbol number "15" can be drawn onto the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L. Bell 2)" stops. At this time, the left reel 13L stops as shown in FIG. 29(b), with the symbol "RP" with symbol number "14" in the upper row and the symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" with symbol number "15" in the middle row. ”, the symbol “BL1 (Blank 1)” with symbol number “16” is displayed in the lower row, and the indicator symbol “Red 7” is displayed in the predetermined display area via the display window 11 (upper, middle, and lower rows of the left reel 13L). not visibly stopped. Regardless of the fact that the indicator symbol "Red 7" is not visibly stopped within the predetermined display area (the upper, middle, and lower rows of the left reel 13L) through the display window 11, the operation mode regarding the left stop switch 21L is Since the answer was correct, in order to notify the player to that effect, a common correct answer notification is performed in which the correct answer sound of "Jackin" is output from the speakers 31L and 31R by the processing of the performance content determining means 201 and the audio control means 203. A performance is held. Furthermore, if the right and middle stop switches 21R and 21M, which are operated after the left stop switch 21L, are operated in the correct operation order, you will win "ATB left and right" which gives you the maximum payout (15 pieces). , if the operations are not performed in the correct operation order, a one-card winning combination of "incorrect push order AT8" is won.

In this way, a common correct answer notification effect is performed both when the index symbol "Red 7" in FIG. 29(a) is visible and when the index symbol "Red 7" in FIG. 29(b) is not visible. .

In addition, when the correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) in FIG. 29(c) is being performed, the left stop switch 21L is operated first, but the left reel red If the operation is performed during a period other than the 7th press period (the above left reel BAR press period), the press position is incorrect, so the winning symbol on the left reel 13L of incorrect press position AT8 (``KO27'') Since it is possible to draw "BE1 (Bell 1)" to the winning line (middle stage) of the left reel 13L, the symbol "BE1 (Bell 1)" stops on the winning line (middle stage) of the left reel 13L. The stopping mode of the left reel 13L at this time is, for example, as shown in FIG. )", and the symbol "BL1" with symbol number "6" on the bottom row. At this time, since the operation mode regarding the left stop switch 21L was incorrect, the common correct answer notification effect of outputting the correct answer sound of "Jackin" from the speakers 31L and 31R is not performed. Note that regardless of the operation mode of the middle and right stop switches 21M and 21R that are operated after the left stop switch 21L, a prize is won for the 1-card combination of incorrect press position AT8.

Furthermore, if the middle/right stop switches 21M and 21R other than the left stop switch 21L are operated first, the player will win AT8 for incorrect pressing order with a probability of 1/2. Note that, if the order in which the left stop switch 21L is operated is incorrect, a common correct answer notification effect that outputs the correct answer sound of "Jackin" from the speakers 31L and 31R is not performed.

In addition, if the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, or if the pressing position of the first stop is incorrect even if the pressing order of the first stop is correct, the correct operation order notification effect will be displayed at that point. The display of the pressing order and the display of the index symbol in the index symbol notification performance may be terminated. Also, for example, if the second stop reel is the second stop reel, the symbol of the winning combination that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the push position, and the first stop push order may be incorrect. At that time, the display of the push order in the correct operation order notification performance and the display of the index symbol in the index pattern notification performance may be terminated at that point.

(Modified example of correct operation mode notification production (1))
Hereinafter, a modification example (1) of the correct operation mode notification effect will be described with reference to FIG. 30. Note that the common correct answer notification effect is the same as the common correct answer notification effect in the embodiment, and its explanation will be omitted here.

The correct operation mode notification performance of modification (1) is different from the correct operation mode notification performance in the embodiment in the correct operation order notification performance, and the index symbol notification performance is the same. Note that the description of the embodiment can be applied to the index symbol notification performance, so the description thereof will be omitted here.

In the correct operation order notification performance in the correct operation mode notification performance of modification (1), the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27 is used to show the case in which the winning combination group "ATBLR" is won as shown in FIG. 30(a). As shown in ~(c), all the reels (first stop reel, Regarding the stop switches corresponding to the 2nd stop reel and 3rd stop reel), operate them to the positions corresponding to the stop switches to be operated from 1st to 3rd in the correct pressing order (stop switches corresponding to all reels). Display the order "1" to "3".

Note that the performance content determining means 201, the display control means 202, and the audio control means 203 correspond to the "performance means" of the present invention.

(Variation example (2) of correct operation mode notification effect)
Hereinafter, a modification (2) of the correct operation mode notification effect will be described. The symbol arrangement, winning combination, winning combination group, etc. used in this modified example (2) of the correct operation mode notification performance and the modified example (3) of the correct operation mode notification performance described later are shown in FIG. 2(a) described in the embodiment. ), symbol arrangement, winning combination, winning combination group, etc. in Figure 12, if the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is correct, the corresponding stop switches will be displayed on the first stop reel and the second stop reel. Regardless of the operation timing (press position), the winning symbol of the winning combination with the largest payout among the winning numbers of the pressing order bell components will stop on the winning line, and on the third stop reel, the corresponding stop switch operation order (pressing order) will be stopped on the winning line. ) and operation timing (press position), the winning symbol of the winning combination with the largest payout among the winning numbers of the pressing order bell may or may not stop on the winning line.

In the correct operation mode notification performance in modification (2), similar to the correct operation mode notification performance in the embodiment, when the push order bell is won, the performance content determining means 201 and the display control means Through the process of 202, among the plurality of operation modes using the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, an operation mode (correct operation mode) in which the combination of symbols of the constituent parts that can obtain the maximum payout with the winning press order bell is aligned on the winning line is selected. A notification effect (correct operation mode notification effect) is performed. This correct operation mode consists of (1) the correct pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, and (2) the pressing order in which the combination of symbols of the constituent parts that will give you the maximum payout with the winning pressing order bell is aligned on the winning line. The position where the correct answer is pressed by the corresponding stop switch on the reel (in this modification (2), the third stop reel) where the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the position. It is configured to include.

The correct operation mode notification performance includes a display that notifies you of the correct press order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the correct operation mode on the winning press order bell (correct operation order notification display), and Indicator of the correct press position on the stop switch corresponding to the reel where the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line (in this modification (2), the third stop reel) (hereinafter referred to as "indicator symbol notification") effect (indicator pattern notification effect) that notifies the indicator symbol (included in the pattern array related to the third stop reel). There is.

In the correct operation order notification performance, depending on the pressing position, the symbol of the constituent role that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line.Reels other than the third stop reel (first stop reel, second stop reel) ) with respect to the stop switches corresponding to the correct press order, a first correct operation order notification that informs the user of the order in which to operate the stop switches (hereinafter referred to as "first notification content"), and the press position. Contents that show the order in which to operate the stop switches corresponding to the correct answer regarding the stop switch corresponding to the third stop reel, which may or may not stop on the winning line so that the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line. (Hereinafter, referred to as "second notification content.") A second correct operation order notification is performed. The first correct operation order notification and the second correct operation order notification use the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27 to indicate the order in which the operations should be performed in the correct order by placing a number on the position corresponding to each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. This is done by displaying .

In the index symbol notification performance, the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27 is used to correspond to the third stop reel, where the symbol of the constituent role that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position. With respect to the stop switch, an index that indicates that the stop switch should be operated during the period in which the symbol of the constituent part that will yield the maximum payout can be drawn into the winning line during the period in which the third stop reel, which is in steady rotation, makes one revolution. The content that shows the symbol (the index symbol that indicates the correct pressing position (operation timing) of the stop switch) (for example, the index symbol itself, hereinafter referred to as "indicator symbol content") is displayed in the order in which the correct answer is pressed. is displayed at the position corresponding to the last operated stop switch (third stop reel). In addition, on the first and second stop reels, the symbol of the component winning the maximum payout will stop on the winning line, regardless of the pressing position of the corresponding stop switch, so the indicator symbol will not be announced. It is no longer done.

The second correct operation order notification and the index symbol notification are such that a part of the index symbol content in the index pattern notification is difficult to see, but the rest is visible, and the second correct operation order notification is similar to the second notification content in the second correct operation order notification. The display layer of the second notification content in the second correct operation order notification is placed above the display layer of the index pattern content in the indicator pattern notification so that the second notification content overlaps the index pattern content so that the entire item can be visually recognized. This is done by

When the push order bell is won, the processing of the performance content determining means 201 and the display control means 202 causes a correct operation order notification performance (first correct operation order notification, second correct operation order notification) and an index symbol notification performance (index symbol notification). ) is performed using the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27.

In the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification effect, the display of numbers indicating the order in which to operate the stop switches corresponding to the first and second stop reels starts when the push order bell is won, and the corresponding stop The first display mode is displayed until the switch is operated, and when the corresponding stop switch is operated, a second display mode different from the first display mode is displayed, and the corresponding stop switch is operated. and the display of numbers indicating the order in which to operate the corresponding stop switch ends.

In the second correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance, the display of numbers indicating the order in which to operate the stop switches corresponding to the third stop reel starts when the press order bell is won, and the numbers are displayed in the order in which the stop switches are operated. The display is performed in the first display mode until the stop switch is operated, and when the order in which the stop switch is operated is reached, the display of the number indicating the order in which the stop switch is operated is finished.

In the index symbol notification of the index symbol notification performance, the display of the index symbol on the third stop reel starts when the push order bell is won, and continues in the third display mode until the stop switch corresponding to the third stop reel is operated. , when the stop switch is operated, the display of the index symbol on the third stop reel ends.

The first display mode and the second display mode are display modes that are different from each other, and for example, have different brightnesses, different hues, and different saturations. Furthermore, for example, if the brightness of the display in the second display mode is higher than the brightness of the display in the first display mode, the display in the second display mode attracts the player's attention more than the display in the first display mode. It is preferable that

Further, the first display mode and the third display mode are display modes that are different from each other, and, for example, have different brightnesses. Note that, for example, it is preferable that the brightness of the display in the third display mode is higher than the brightness of the display in the first display mode.

Next, an example of the correct operation mode notification effect in modification (2) will be described with reference to FIG. 31.

In the example of FIG. 31, the correct pressing order in the operation mode (correct operation mode) that wins the winning combination for the largest payout among the winning push order bell components is "Left → Right → Middle (L → R → C)", depending on the push position, the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line. It serves as an indicator to operate the middle stop switch 21M corresponding to the middle reel 13M at the correct timing. It is assumed that the indicator pattern is the pattern "Red 7". In addition, on the left and right reels 13L and 13R, the symbols of the winning combination that will give you the maximum payout will stop on the winning line, regardless of the operation timing (pressing position) of the left and right stop switches 21L and 21R. There is.

As shown in FIG. 31(a), when the push order bell is won, the next correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) is performed. With the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification effect, the operation order "1" is displayed in the second display mode for the left stop switch 21L, which is operated first in the correct press order, and is the second correct operation order in the correct press order. Regarding the right stop switch 21R which is operated, the operation order "2" is displayed in the first display mode. In addition, by the indicator symbol notification of the indicator symbol notification performance, the symbol of the constituent part that gives the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position.The middle stop switch 21M corresponding to the middle reel 13M may be correctly An index symbol "Red 7" serving as an index to be operated at the timing is displayed in the third display mode. Further, by the second correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance, the operation order "3" is displayed in the first display mode regarding the middle stop switch 21M which is operated last in the correct press order. At this time, part of the indicator pattern "Red 7" becomes difficult to see, but the rest becomes visible, and the operation order "3" of the middle stop switch 21M is made so that the entire operation order "3" becomes visible. The operation order "3" is displayed overlapping the index symbol "Red 7" with the display layer of "3" being placed above the display layer of the index symbol "Red 7". In addition, as described above, the first display mode and the second display mode are different, and for example, by making the brightness of the second display mode higher than the brightness of the first display mode, the second display mode is displayed in the order of pressing. I try to pay attention to the appearance. In addition, the first display mode and the third display mode have different brightnesses, and for example, by making the brightness of the third display mode higher than the brightness of the first display mode, the player can see the target indicator symbol. It is possible to clearly understand that it is not the order in which the middle stop switch 21M is to be operated.

When the player operates the left stop switch 21L in the situation shown in FIG. 31(a), as shown in FIG. 31(b), the left stop that was displayed by the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification effect is displayed. The display of the operation order "1" regarding the switch 21L ends, and the display of the operation order "2" regarding the right stop switch 21R, which is operated second in the correct press order, is displayed by the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification effect. The display changes from the first display mode to the second display mode. This indicates that the player will next operate the right stop switch 21R. Note that the display of the operation order "3" of the middle stop switch 21M and the display of the index symbol "Red 7" regarding the middle reel 13M are continuously performed in the first display mode and the third display mode.

When the player operates the right stop switch 21R in the situation of FIG. 31(b), as shown in FIG. 31(c), the right stop that was displayed by the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification effect is displayed. The display of the operation order "2" regarding the switch 21R ends, and the display of the operation order "3" regarding the middle stop switch 21M, which was displayed by the second correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification effect, ends. As a result, the numbers in the pressing order are not displayed superimposed on the indicator symbol "Red 7", making it easier for the player to see the indicator symbol "Red 7" and making it difficult to make mistakes. Note that the indicator symbol "Red 7" regarding the middle reel 13M continues to be displayed in the third display mode.

In addition, if the press order for the first stop is incorrect, or if the press order for the second stop is incorrect even if the press order for the first stop is correct, the correct operation order notification effect will be displayed at that point. The display of the pressing order and the display of the index symbol in the index symbol notification performance may be terminated.

In the situation shown in FIG. 31(c), when the player operates the middle stop switch 21M, as shown in FIG. 31(d), the indicator related to the middle stop switch 21M that was displayed by the indicator symbol notification of the indicator symbol notification performance The display of the symbol "Red 7" ends. Note that the display of the index symbol "Red 7" may be terminated regardless of whether the pressing position of the middle stop switch 21M is correct or incorrect.

(Variation example (3) of correct operation mode notification effect)
Hereinafter, a modification example (3) of the correct operation mode notification effect will be described with reference to FIG. 32. The correct operation mode notification performance in modification (3) is the correct operation mode notification performance in modification (2) with the following content added.

In modification (3), the number of remaining games in the AT period ("30" in FIGS. 32(a) and 32(b)) is displayed in the lower left corner of the liquid crystal display 27 as numerical information related to the game. Note that the numerical information related to gaming is not limited to the number of remaining games in the AT period, but includes, for example, the number of remaining games until the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section reaches "1500", the increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section, etc. etc.

If the left stop switch 21L is the target of the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance, and the operation order "1" is displayed in the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance, As shown in 32(a), in the first correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance, the operation order of the left stop switch 21L is displayed so that the number of remaining games in the AT period can be visually confirmed.

On the other hand, the left stop switch 21L is the target of the second correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance and the index pattern notification of the index pattern notification performance, and the symbol "Red 7" is targeted in the index pattern notification of the index pattern notification performance. ” and operation order “3” is displayed in the second correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance, as shown in FIG. 32(b), in the index symbol notification of the index symbol notification performance, AT The operating order of the left stop switch 21L is displayed so that it is difficult to visually recognize the number of games remaining in the period. This display method can be implemented, for example, by placing the indicator symbol display layer above the display layer showing the number of remaining games in the AT period.

Therefore, according to the embodiment described above, even if the AT period continues, the advantageous section ends when the number of consecutive games reaches the upper limit (1500 games) and shifts to the non-advantageous section where AT games are not allowed. , it is possible to prevent the AT period from continuing for a long time and arousing excessive gambling in the players. In addition, even if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery held at the end of the CZ (chance zone) or AT period, the advantageous section will end if the forced termination conditions are met. To provide more interesting gameplay regarding the continuation of an advantageous section, since it changes not only by the number of games until the upper limit of the advantageous section is reached, but also by the type of scenario determined at the time of winning the advantageous section continuation lottery. Can be done.

Also, for example, if you win an advantageous section continuation lottery when the AT period ends, or if you win an advantageous section continuation lottery when the CZ (chance zone) ends without winning the AT lottery, you may have already won an advantageous section continuation lottery. Assume that the number of consecutive games in the section is 700 games. At this time, for example, if scenario 1 is selected and 400 games are selected as the number of games to be released, (number of games remaining until the limiter of the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section) = 1500 - 700 games = 800 games, (games to be released) number + 45 + number of games according to the type of scenario (number of scenario games)) = 400 + 45 + 500 = 945, (number of games remaining until limiter) > (number of unlocked games + 45 games + number of games according to the determined type of scenario ( number of scenario games)) is not satisfied (conditions for forced termination of advantageous section are met → end of advantageous section). On the other hand, if scenario 5 is selected at this time and 400 games are selected as the number of games to be unlocked, (number of games remaining until the limiter of the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section) = 1500 - 700 games = 800 games, (games to be unlocked) Number of games + 45 + number of games according to scenario type (number of scenario games)) = 400 + 45 + 200 = 645, and the forced termination condition is (number of games remaining until limiter) > (number of canceled games + 45 games + determined type of scenario) (number of games (scenario games)) according to the number of games (number of scenario games)) is satisfied (failure of forced termination condition of advantageous section → continuation of advantageous section). Therefore, even if the number of remaining games when winning the advantageous section continuation lottery is the same as the number of cancellation games selected at that time, if the type of scenario selected is different, the conditions for forced termination of the advantageous section will be It may or may not be established.

According to this configuration, in Scenario 1 where the AT period is likely to continue, if the number of unlocked games is determined to be 400 games, in a situation where the number of games remaining until the upper limit is 800 games, where the number of games remaining until the upper limit is small, Since the number of consecutive games in an advantageous section is reset due to the forced termination of an advantageous section, it is possible to prevent the new AT period from ending prematurely due to reaching the upper limit of the advantageous section even though it has moved to a new AT period. can. On the other hand, if Scenario 5 is decided, in which it is difficult to continue the AT period, the same number of unlocked games (400 games) is decided, and even if the remaining number of games until the upper limit is 800 games, you will still win the advantageous section continuation lottery. Therefore, in a situation where the continuation expectation of the new AT period is low, the user can continue to enjoy the continued advantageous section.

In addition, in Scenario 5, the maximum number of unlocked games that can be determined is smaller than the maximum number of unlocked games in Scenario 1, so when transitioning to the AT period with CZ (chance) based on reaching the number of unlocked games, , it is possible to easily secure the number of games required to reach the ending. Furthermore, in Scenario 5, the probability of selecting AT level 4, which does not have an additional bonus, is low, so the expectation of continuation of the AT period is low, but on the other hand, it is possible to create a game in which it is easy to transition to the AT period.

In addition, the number of remaining games up to the upper limit, which is the criterion for fulfilling the forced termination condition when winning the advantageous section continuation lottery, is greater than the sum of the number of unlocked games, the number of games in CZ preparation state, and the number of games in CZ (chance zone). Therefore, it is possible to reliably guarantee the number of games until the transition to the AT period.

In addition, since Scenario 5 has a higher expectation of transition to the AT period than Scenario 1, if you win the advantageous section continuation lottery and are determined to be Scenario 5, and if the advantageous section continues, the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section It is possible to improve the player's interest in playing the remaining number of games until the upper limit (1500 games) is reached.

In addition, during the AT period, if AT level 2 continues for 100 games, it will move to AT level 4, which has the worst additional performance, but AT level 1, which has slightly lower additional performance than AT level 2, even if it continues for 100 games. It does not move to AT level 4, which is the most disadvantageous. With this configuration, even if the number of consecutive games increases depending on the AT level, the player's interest is improved because the AT level does not shift to a bad AT level or not. Furthermore, in the case of AT level 1, if the player continues for 180 games, the player will move to AT level 3, which has the highest additional performance, so the player can draw more attention to the number of consecutive games and further improve the player's interest.

Also, if the additional performance of AT level 1 and AT level 2 is set to be the same, it will be impossible to distinguish between AT level 1 and AT level 2 until 100 games have been played, so which AT level is set? You can enjoy the game during the AT period while feeling the excitement of the dolphin.

Further, by providing AT level 3, which has the highest add-on performance, it is possible to make the AT period add-on more varied, which improves the player's interest.

Furthermore, since the AT level is determined based on the scenario, the player can enjoy the game while focusing on the determined scenario.

In addition, even if the BAR matching pseudo game is executed and the symbols "BAR" are aligned in a predetermined order (BAR aligned), the ending time of the pseudo game processing period will not be changed, so the end time of the pseudo game processing period is not changed. It is possible to align the end time of the pseudo game processing period with the end time of the freeze state period. In addition, in the case of a pseudo game repeatable period in which there is a period in which patterns cannot be matched first, followed by a period in which patterns are not allowed to match, in the period in which patterns cannot be matched at the beginning of the period in which patterns can be repeated, the pseudo game cannot be played. BARs are not aligned at an early stage in the repeatable period. Then, in the symbol matching allowed period which is after the symbol matching impossible period of the pseudo game repeatable period, the BAR may match only after a certain amount of time has elapsed in the pseudo game repeatable period. For this reason, it is possible to prevent players from becoming irritated or feeling like they have not been able to do anything due to the long waiting time from when the BARs are all set and the game is temporarily stopped until the end of the pseudo game processing period.

In addition, in this embodiment, if the pseudo game repeatable period includes both a period in which patterns cannot be matched and a period in which patterns may be matched, the BAR is not matched from the start time of the pseudo game repeatable period to the end time of the pattern pattern not possible period T3. There is no temporary stop at the bar alignment, and a temporary stop occurs at the bar alignment only after the symbol alignment impossible period T3 ends. On the other hand, if there is always no period when the symbols cannot be aligned as in this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as a "comparative example"), a temporary stop may occur when the BAR is aligned after the start of the pseudo game repeatable period. , this temporary stop timing when the BAR is aligned may be within the period in which the symbols are not aligned in this embodiment. For this reason, the average value of the time (waiting time) from the temporary stop of all BARs in multiple initial game number notification performances (pseudo games) to the end time of the pseudo game processing period T1 is This embodiment, which may include both a period in which patterns cannot be matched and a period in which patterns cannot be matched, is shorter than a comparative example in which there is always a period in which patterns cannot be matched, as in this embodiment.

In addition, since a timer TM1 is provided for timing the pseudo game processing period T1, a timer TM2 is provided for timing the pseudo game repeatable period T2, and a timer TM3 is provided for timing the period T3 in which patterns cannot be matched, the pseudo game processing period T1, It is possible to easily time the pseudo game repeatable period T2 and the symbol matching period T3, and while appropriately managing each period T1, T2, and T3, the symbol matching allowed period that follows the symbol matching impossible period T3 can be easily measured. can also be suitably managed.

In addition, there are variations in which the BARs are aligned and the temporary stop is made within the symbol alignment tolerance period, the BARs are not aligned, and the timing is different when the BARs are aligned and the temporary stop is made within the symbol alignment tolerance period. It is possible to improve the fun of the pseudo game during the processing period.

In addition, when the BAR is aligned and the temporary stop is made, the initial number of AT games is 100 or more out of 40, 50, 60, ..., 180, 190, 200, 300 that can be set as the number of AT initial games. Since this is determined, the player can enjoy a pseudo game in the hope that the bar will be filled and the bar will be temporarily stopped.

In addition, by making the start times of the symbol alignment allowable periods different, the timing for temporarily stopping when the BARs are aligned will be different within the pseudo game repeatable period, so that the player will not be able to temporarily stop when the BARs are aligned. You can enjoy pseudo games while waiting for a while, or when the initial number of AT games is 100 or more out of 40, 50, 60, ..., 180, 190, 200, 300 that can be set as the initial number of AT games. By making it possible that there is no permissible period for matching the symbols, the player can enjoy subsequent games in the hope that the initial number of AT games will be 100 or more without having to temporarily stop the game after matching the BARs.

Furthermore, by determining one of the periods of the freeze state from among a plurality of periods, the end time of the pseudo game processing period is not constant, and it is possible to improve the fun of the pseudo game during the pseudo game processing period.

Further, since candidates for the initial number of AT games are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 at least during the waiting period, the player can wait for the waiting period while anticipating the size of the initial number of AT games.

Further, when there are many candidates for the number of AT initial games that may be granted, unlike this embodiment, a display area 1001 is provided to display a plurality of candidates for the number of AT initial games that may be granted. If the display area 1002 simply scrolls and displays multiple candidates for the number of AT initial games that may be awarded, the player may wonder which other candidates may be awarded while scrolling. There is a risk that it will become unclear whether there was such an initial AT game number, and expectations regarding which AT initial game number will be awarded will be diminished. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, by providing a display area 1001 that displays a plurality of candidates for the number of AT initial games that can be scroll-displayed in the display area 1002, apart from the scroll display in the display area 1002, it is possible to Even if there are many candidates for the number of AT initial games that may be given, the player may not know what other AT initial game numbers are available as other candidates that may be given while scrolling. Therefore, the scrolling display in the display area 1002 can be expected.

In addition, in relation to the AT state, the second AT signal output to the external device is subjected to a first inversion process in which the second AT signal is inverted from Low level to High level in the first inversion process game, and the number of navigation times is 8 times. Each time the number of navigations reaches 8, the first re-inversion process re-inverts from High level to Low level in the next game (first re-inversion process game) of the game in which the number of navigations reaches 8 times, and the first re-inversion process. A second reversal process in which the low level is reversed to a high level in the next game after the reversal process game (second reversal process game), and a second reversal process in which the high level is re-inverted from the high level to the low level after the final game in the AT state. Inversion processing is also performed. Therefore, it is possible to notify the external device of the number of navigation occurrences in units of 8 (the number of navigations may be less than 8 at the end of the AT state).

Further, the trigger for the first re-reversal process in the first re-reverse process game and the opportunity for the second reversal process in the second re-reverse process game are set as common triggers in different games. Therefore, the determination process for the first re-inversion processing opportunity and the second reversal processing opportunity can be made common, and the determination process for the first re-inversion processing opportunity and the second reversal processing opportunity is involved. It is possible to reduce the program capacity.

Furthermore, the opportunity to perform the first reversal process in the first reversal process game is the opportunity to perform the first re-reversal process in the first re-reversal process game, and the opportunity to perform the second reversal process in the second reversal process game. Commonality is being sought among the opportunities for implementation. Therefore, the determination process for the first reversal processing trigger, the first re-reversal processing trigger, and the second reversal processing trigger can be shared, and the first reversal processing trigger and the first re-reversal processing It is possible to further reduce the program capacity involved in the process of determining the trigger for the second reversal process and the trigger for the second reversal process.

In addition, in the games from the first re-reversal processing game to the game one game before the second reversal processing game, even if the push order bell is won and navigation is performed, the counter value of the navigation counter will count down by 1. It is designed so that it will not happen. Therefore, it is possible to reliably set the number of times of navigation at the high level of the second AT signal once during the AT state to eight times.

Also, in the games from the start game in the AT state to the game one game before the first reversal processing game, the counter value of the navigation counter will not count down by 1 even if the push order bell is won and navigation is performed. It has become. Therefore, the problem that navigation performed when the second AT signal is at a low level before the first inversion process is performed from low level to high level is included in the 8 times is avoided, and the AT The number of times of navigation at the high level of the first second AT signal in the state can be reliably increased to eight times.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the AT state is entered, the first AT signal is output once, but even when the CZ preparation state is entered, a signal for notifying that the CZ preparation state has been entered is not output. Not yet. For this reason, the high level of the second AT signal once in the CZ preparation state is pretended to be the high level of the second AT signal once in the AT state, and navigation is performed eight times in the AT state. The number of occurrences of clusters can be increased apparently.

Also, an opportunity to perform the first reversal processing in the first reversal processing game for the second AT signal, an opportunity to perform the first re-inversion processing in the first re-inversion processing game, and a second reversal processing game. After the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate to steady rotation, the operation of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is effective for performing the second reversal process. (For example, the timing immediately after the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R accelerate to steady rotation, and the timing for the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. (e.g., the timing immediately before the operation becomes effective). Therefore, the timing at which the state of the second AT signal switches (switches from Low level to High level, switches from High level to Low level) can be set outside the period of the first weight and the second weight, It is possible to prevent the switching of the state of the second AT signal from interfering with the payout signal or input signal, or from being interfered with by the input signal or payout signal.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, for example, in the winning combination group "ATBLR" of the pressing order bell, the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of "ATB left and right", which gives the maximum payout depending on the pressing position, stops on the winning line. In the symbol arrangement of the left reel 13L, which sometimes stops and sometimes does not stop, two winning symbols "BE2 (Bell 2)" are placed near the indicator symbol "Red 7", and one indicator symbol "Red 7" is placed near the indicator symbol "Red 7". ing. For this reason, in a situation where the number of indicator symbols "Red 7" that players use when pressing their eyes is reduced to make it easier for players to see the indicator symbols "Red 7", the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" is It is possible to enlarge the retractable area where the player can stop at the winning line.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, for example, in the winning combination group "ATBLR" of the pressing order bell, the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" of "ATB left and right", which gives the maximum payout depending on the pressing position, stops on the winning line. Operate the left stop switch 21L corresponding to the left reel 13L, which may or may not stop, at the correct operation timing (correct press position) that can stop the winning symbol "BE2 (Bell 2)" on the winning line. In this case, the index symbol "Red 7" may or may not stop within the visible display area (upper, middle, or lower) through the display window 11. In the embodiment described above, a common correct answer notification effect is performed regardless of whether the index symbol "Red 7" stops visibly or not. Therefore, the player operates the left stop switch 21L at the correct operation timing (correct press position) with the target symbol "Red 7" based on the common correct answer notification effect, regardless of the stop result of the left reel 13L. You can check whether it was done or not. Therefore, it is possible to avoid giving the player anxiety about whether or not he or she was able to operate the left stop switch 21L at the correct timing.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the common correct answer notification effect performed when the indicator symbol stops within the display area (upper, middle, lower) visible through the display window 11 and when it does not stop allows the game to be played. It can be seen that the person was able to operate the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel at the correct operation timing (correct press position). Therefore, not only when the indicator symbol stops within the visible display area, but also when it does not stop, the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel is activated at the correct operation timing (correct answer) using a common correct answer notification effect. The player who finds out that the player was able to operate the stop switch in the correct operation mode notification direction carefully adjusts the operation mode of the stop switch corresponding to the reel other than the first stop reel (second stop reel, third stop reel) according to the correct operation mode notification presentation. If done correctly, it is possible to win a winning combination by which the maximum payout can be obtained among the winning combinations of the pressed order bells.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the two stop switches that are operated after the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel for which the index symbol is announced in the index symbol notification performance only need to be operated according to the correct operation order notification performance. , it is possible to suppress the burden on the player in order to win a prize with the component combinations that can obtain the maximum payout among the component combinations of the winning push order bells.

According to the correct operation mode notification performance in the above modification (2), among the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, the ones corresponding to the first and second stop reels on which indicator symbol notification is not performed Regarding this, since the contents such as symbols are not displayed overlapping the contents of the operation order displayed in the first correct operation order notification, the player can concentrate on the contents of the displayed operation order, and furthermore, When it is the order to operate, the operation order is displayed from the first display mode to the second display mode in the first correct operation order notification, so that the player can identify that it is the operation order. In addition, among the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, those corresponding to the third stop reel where indicator symbol notification is performed are set before the turn to operate the stop switch corresponding to the third stop reel. Since the indicator symbol is displayed in the indicator symbol notification, the player can know the indicator symbol in advance before it is his turn to operate, and when it is his turn to operate, the player can immediately move the third stop reel aiming at the indicator symbol. The corresponding stop switch can be operated. Furthermore, among the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, those corresponding to the third stop reel where indicator symbol notification is performed will be in the order in which the stop switches corresponding to the third stop reel are operated. Until now, the order of operations displayed in the second operation order notification was superimposed on the indicator symbols displayed in the indicator symbol notification, so even if the player's eyes fell on the indicator symbols, the order of operations was not correct. In addition, when it is the player's turn to operate, the display of the operation order ends, and the indicator symbol is displayed without being superimposed on the indicator symbol. Less likely to make mistakes. As a result, by notifying the player of the indicator symbol in advance before it is the turn to operate the stop switch corresponding to the third stop reel for which the indicator symbol is to be reported, it is possible to prevent the game from taking a long time. It is possible to prevent a player from mistakenly performing an operation mode other than the correct operation mode notified by the correct operation mode notification performance.

Further, according to the correct operation mode notification performance in the above-mentioned modification (2), the operation order and the index symbol of the indicator symbol notification performance are displayed in the second correct operation order notification of the correct operation order notification performance that is displayed overlappingly. With the indicator symbols displayed in the notification, the brightness of the display of the indicator symbols is higher than the brightness of the order of operation, allowing the player to clearly understand the indicator symbol to aim for, while clearly indicating that it is not the order of operation. be able to.

According to the correct operation mode notification performance in the above modification (3), when the player performs a stop operation aiming at the index symbol notified by the index symbol notification, the player can receive numerical information (for example, in the AT period). This prevents you from being distracted by the number of games remaining and losing focus on aiming at the indicator symbol.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit thereof.

For example, in the correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) in the above embodiment, the winning combination of the winning combination of the push order bell on the first stop reel and the maximum payout is selected. The winning symbol may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position, and the indicator symbol is notified by the indicator symbol notification performance in correspondence with the first stop reel. Reels (for example, (1) second stop reel, (2 ) The contents of the embodiment can be applied to those in which the indicator symbol is notified by the indicator symbol notification performance on the first stop reel and the second stop reel, (3) the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel) It is. In addition, in the correct operation order notification effect, the order in which to operate two or more stop switches may be notified.

In addition, in the correct operation mode notification performance (correct operation order notification performance, index symbol notification performance) in the above embodiment, among the constituent roles of the push order bell won on the first stop reel, the winning combination that can obtain the maximum payout is selected. The winning symbol may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position, and the indicator symbol is notified by the indicator symbol notification performance in correspondence with the first stop reel. For example, for the first push order bell, on the left and middle reels 13L and 13M, the winning symbol of the winning combination that gives the maximum payout among the constituent roles of the first push order bell may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the push position. In other push order bells, the winning symbol of the component winning the maximum payout among the constituent roles of the other push order bells will stop on the winning line depending on the push position on the middle and right reels 13M and 13R. The winning symbols of the winning combinations that give you the maximum payout for any pressing order may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the position you press the reel.・It is a part of the right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, and if you look at all the push order bells including the particular push order bell, the maximum payout is for any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. The content of the embodiment can be applied to a system in which the winning symbols of the constituent combinations that result in the winning symbols may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressed position. In addition, in the correct operation order notification effect, the order in which to operate two or more stop switches may be notified. According to this, regardless of the pressing order of the bell, the winning symbol of the component winning the maximum payout on some of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R will stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position. For the rest of the reels, it is sufficient to use a symbol arrangement that sometimes stops and sometimes does not stop, and on the remaining reels, the symbol arrangement stops on the winning line regardless of the pressed position. Depending on the position, it may or may not stop on the winning line, so it can occur on any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, so the symbol arrangement has a high degree of freedom by reducing restrictions on the symbol arrangement on the reels. can be realized.

In the embodiment described above, the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel is pressed at the correct timing for "ATACL", "ATBCL", "ATACR", "ATBCR", "ATBRL", and "ATBRC" among the push order bells. When operated, the indicator symbol does not always stop within the visible display area (upper, middle, lower) through the display window 11, but is not limited to this; If you operate the stop switch corresponding to the first stop reel at the correct timing, such as "ATALC", "ATBLC", "ATALR", "ATBLR", "ATARL", "ATARC", the indicator symbol will be displayed. It may be arranged such that there are cases where the display area stops within the display area (upper, middle, and lower) visible through the display window 11 and cases where it does not stop.

Also, on some reels of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, the winning symbols of the constituent combinations that will give you the maximum payout on any of the pressing order bells may stop on the winning line depending on the pressing position. Since there are cases where the indicator symbol does not stop, the indicator symbol notification effect is used to notify the indicator symbol, and on the remaining reels of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, the maximum payout is reached in any pressing order of the bell. The winning symbols of the constituent combinations that yield `` may be made to stop on the winning line regardless of the pressed position. Any of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R can be generated as some of the above reels. In this case, on the reel where the indicator symbol notification effect is performed, the indicator symbol is within the display area (upper row, middle row, lower row) where the index symbol can be seen through the display window 11 when the corresponding stop switch is operated at the correct push position. It is also possible to have both cases in which the process stops and cases in which it does not stop occur. According to this, on some of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, the winning symbols of the constituent combinations that yield the maximum payout may or may not stop on the winning line depending on the pressed position. However, for the rest, such restrictions on the symbol arrangement can be suppressed and a symbol arrangement with a high degree of freedom can be realized.

In the above embodiment, when operated at the correct answer press position, it is possible to perform a performance other than the common correct answer notification performance, and the method of implementing the performance other than the common correct answer notification performance is such that the indicator pattern is displayed. With respect to the reels that have been displayed, there are cases where the indicator symbols stop in a predetermined display area (the upper, middle, and lower rows of the reels where the indicator symbols are displayed) so that they can be visually recognized through the display window 11, and cases where they do not stop. It may be made so that it is not common. For example, if the performance is a setting suggestion performance, the execution of the setting suggestion performance is better when the indicator pattern stops visible (eye press accuracy: high) than when it does not stop visibly (eye press accuracy: (low) may be performed more frequently. Note that this also includes a case where the setting value suggestion effect is not performed when the setting value is not stopped. In addition, the content of the production was changed to a first production in which character A appears and a speech bubble saying "Congratulations" is displayed, and a second production in which character B only appears, and the performance of the production was stopped until the indicator pattern was visible. The first effect is carried out if the situation is high (eye press accuracy: high), and the second effect is carried out if the eye does not stop visibly (eye press accuracy: low). The content of the performance itself may be changed. Note that this includes not performing any performance other than the common correct answer notification performance when the vehicle does not stop visually. According to this, it is possible to prompt the player to perform an operation at a more accurate timing when the indicator symbol stops visibly within the predetermined display range.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the operation is performed at the correct answer press position, it is possible to perform a performance other than the common correct answer notification performance, and the method of implementing the performance other than the common correct answer notification performance is based on the indicator symbol. Regarding the reel on which is displayed, when the indicator symbol is within a predetermined display area that is visible through the display window 11 (the upper, middle, or lower row of the reel on which the indicator symbol is displayed), the corresponding stop switch is operated. The stop switch corresponding to the case where the stop switch is not within the visible predetermined display area may not be the same as when the stop switch is operated. For example, if the effect is a setting suggestion effect, and the setting suggestion effect is executed when the corresponding stop switch is operated when the index symbol is within a visible predetermined display area (eye press accuracy: high). This may be performed more frequently than when the corresponding stop switch is operated when the button is not within a predetermined visible display area (accuracy of eye press: low). Note that this also includes a case where the setting value suggestion effect is not performed when the corresponding stop switch is operated when the stop switch is not within a predetermined visible display area. In addition, the content of the production is a first production in which character A appears and a speech bubble saying "Congratulations" is displayed, and a second production in which character B only appears, and the performance is carried out in a predetermined manner where the indicator pattern is visible. When the stop switch corresponding to the case where the indicator symbol is within the display area is operated (pressing accuracy: high), the first effect is performed, and it corresponds to the case where the indicator pattern is not within the visible predetermined display area. The content of the performance itself may be changed between the two, such as having the second performance performed when the stop switch is operated (pressing accuracy: low). Note that this includes not performing any performance other than the common correct answer notification performance when the corresponding stop switch is operated when the index symbol is not within a visible predetermined display area. According to this, it is possible to prompt the player to perform an operation at a more accurate timing when the indicator symbol is visible within the predetermined display range.

Moreover, instead of setting all of the areas visible through the display window 11 as a predetermined display area, only a specific area among the areas visible through the display window 11 (for example, only the middle row, (only the upper and middle rows, etc.) may be used as a predetermined display area.

Further, the effect lottery data may be changed by dividing the area visible through the display window 11 into three or more stages, such as the middle row, the upper and middle rows, and other cases.

In addition, in the above embodiment, if the stop switch corresponding to the reel on which the index symbol is notified when the push order bell is won is not operated at the correct operation timing (correct push position), the winning line Although it is assumed that a symbol different from the winning symbol of the constituent symbol that yields the maximum payout among the constituent symbols of the pushing order bell stops, this is not limited to this, and if the symbol is operated at an incorrect timing, The same symbol as the symbol that would stop when operated at the correct operation timing (both have different symbol numbers) may be made to stop. In this case, since the pressed position is incorrect, the constituent combination that will yield the maximum payout will not win.

In the correct operation mode notification performance in the above-described variations (2) and (3), the third stop reel of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R was explained as the target of the indicator symbol notification. For example, the second stop reel of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R may be the target of the indicator symbol notification, and the second stop reel of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R may be The second and third stop reels may be targeted for notification of the index symbol.

Further, in this embodiment, the AT level is set for the AT period, but for example, if the continuation period is configured to be extended in an advantageous state such as a CZ (chance zone) or an additional specialization zone, , a similar level may be set for the duration extension performance. In this case, two levels with the same or slightly different extension performance are set, one of which will transition to a level with more disadvantageous extension performance (disadvantageous level) if the extension performance continues for a predetermined number of games, and the other one will move to a level with more disadvantageous extension performance (disadvantageous level) if the extension performance continues for the specified number of games. It is a good idea to avoid moving to a disadvantageous level even if you do.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the predetermined condition related to the re-inversion condition of the second AT signal for performing the first re-inversion process of re-inverting the second AT signal from the High level to the Low level is set in the AT state. , except for the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, notification (navigation) of the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that is advantageous for the player by winning the push order bell is provided, but this is not limited to this. The following may be used instead of the following.

For example, suppose that the predetermined condition is to play a game in the AT state excluding the predetermined excluded game described above (for example, in FIG. 22(b), the navigation of the 62nd game corresponding to the first reversal game games such as games are not included in the predetermined number of times), and each time the game reaches a predetermined number of times (e.g., eight times), the re-inversion condition of the second AT signal is satisfied, and the second AT signal is Alternatively, the first re-inversion process and the second inversion process may be performed. In addition, under certain conditions, in the AT state, except for the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, notification (navigation) of the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that is advantageous to the player without winning the push order bell is provided. It may also be assumed that the navigation is not performed for a predetermined number of times (e.g., 8 times), and that the second AT signal re-inversion condition is satisfied. Alternatively, the first re-inversion process and the second inversion process may be performed. In addition, the predetermined condition is that the number of acquired medals reaches a predetermined number in the AT state, excluding the predetermined excluded games mentioned above, and the number of times the number of acquired medals reaches the predetermined number is Assuming that the second AT signal re-inversion condition is satisfied every time a predetermined number of times (for example, once) is reached, the above-described first re-inversion process and the above-described second inversion process are performed on the second AT signal. Processing may also be performed.

In addition, under the predetermined conditions, in AT state, excluding the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, a stop switch that is advantageous for the player by winning the push order bell (winning combination groups "ATALC" to "ATBRC" in FIG. 10) The operation mode of 21L, 21M, and 21R will be notified (navigation), and the winning probability is extremely low if you win in a specific winning combination group other than the pressing order bell (winning combination group "BEL" in Figure 10). It is also possible to hold a lottery (for example, a lottery with a probability of winning of 1%) and win the lottery. In addition, under the predetermined conditions, in AT state, excluding the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, a stop switch that is advantageous for the player by winning the push order bell (winning combination groups "ATALC" to "ATBRC" in FIG. 10) You will win if you are informed (navigation) of the operation mode of 21L, 21M, and 21R, and if you win in all winning combination groups other than the pressing order bell (winning combination groups "Hz" to "BEL" in Figure 10). It is also possible to perform a lottery with an extremely low probability (for example, a lottery with a 1% chance of winning) and win the lottery. In these cases, in addition to navigation being performed by winning the push order bell, there may also be cases where the number of times included in the predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times), so the second AT signal switches from High level to Low level. As a result of the timing becoming faster, it becomes possible to make it appear as if the number of balls being rolled out is increasing.

In addition, under the predetermined conditions, in AT state, excluding the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, a stop switch that is advantageous for the player by winning the push order bell (winning combination groups "ATALC" to "ATBRC" in FIG. 10) If notification (navigation) of the operation mode of 21L, 21M, and 21R is to be carried out, it is necessary to hold a lottery with an extremely low probability of winning (for example, a lottery with a 1% probability of winning) and not to win the lottery. If you win a specific winning combination group other than Jun Bell (winning combination group "BEL" in Figure 10), you will win the lottery by holding a lottery with an extremely low probability of winning (for example, a lottery with a 1% probability of winning). It may be both. In addition, under the predetermined conditions, in AT state, excluding the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, a stop switch that is advantageous for the player by winning the push order bell (winning combination groups "ATALC" to "ATBRC" in FIG. 10) If notification (navigation) of the operation mode of 21L, 21M, and 21R is to be carried out, it is necessary to hold a lottery with an extremely low probability of winning (for example, a lottery with a 1% probability of winning) and not to win the lottery. If you win in all winning combination groups other than the winning combination group (the winning combination groups "Hz" to "BEL" in Figure 10), a lottery with an extremely low probability of winning (for example, a lottery with a 1% probability of winning) will be conducted to determine the winning combination. It is also possible to do both with winning a lottery.

In addition, under certain conditions, in the AT state, without excluding the above-mentioned predetermined excluded games, notification (navigation) of the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that is advantageous for the player by winning the push order bell is provided. It may also be done.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the predetermined number of times related to the re-inversion condition of the second AT signal for performing the first re-inversion process of re-inverting the second AT signal from High level to Low level is set to a fixed value. Although the number of times is eight, it is not limited to this, and may be as follows. For example, the predetermined number of times may be a fixed value other than 8 times, such as 9 times or 10 times. In addition, a predetermined number of times can be set at a predetermined timing (for example, when power is turned on, when transitioning to an advantageous section, when transitioning to an AT state, etc.) from among multiple types of times (for example, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times). One may be determined by lottery. This lottery is based on a lottery method in which multiple types of wins are won completely at random, conditions for transition to an advantageous section (such as the type of winning combination group that transitions to an advantageous section), and the number of transitions to an AT state (the first time in an AT state). It is also possible to use a lottery method in which the probability of winning is set according to conditions such as when winning, when winning, etc., and winnings are won a plurality of times according to the winning probability.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the opportunity to perform the third reversal process in the starting game in the CZ preparation state and the opportunity to perform the first reversal process in the first reversal process game are set to the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M. , 13R accelerates to steady rotation, and before the operations on the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R become effective (e.g., the left, middle, and right reels 13L, (timing immediately after 13M, 13R accelerates to steady rotation, timing immediately before operation of left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, etc.), but is not limited to this. For example, the timing may be the operation timing of the start switch 19 or the rotation start timing of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the trigger for performing the third re-inversion process based on the end of the CZ preparation state and the trigger for performing the second re-inversion process based on the end of the AT state are determined based on the end of the CZ preparation state and the AT state. When there is a payout of medals in the game, it is the timing immediately after the first wait period set after the output of the payout signal ends, and when there is no payout of medals in the end game in the CZ preparation state or AT state. Although it is assumed that the timing is immediately after the third reel stops, the timing is not limited to this. For example, it may be after a predetermined wait time has passed since the stop switch related to the third stop operation is turned off, it may be when all reels have stopped, or it may be the timing at which medal payout starts or the medal payout is completed. Good too.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the second AT signal is re-inverted from the High level to the Low level upon completion of the CZ preparation state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second AT signal may be inverted again from High level to Low level upon completion of the state, or the second AT signal may be inverted again upon completion of the game in which the CZ end screen of the CZ state transitioning from the CZ preparation state is displayed. The signal may be inverted again from High level to Low level. These re-inversion timings can be the same as the timing for performing the third re-inversion process based on the end of the CZ preparation state described in the embodiment and modification example, such as when all reels are stopped, for example. .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first AT signal is inverted from Low level to High level in the starting game in the AT state (the first game in the AT state), but the invention is not limited to this. For example, in the next game after the starting game in the AT state (the second game in the AT state), the first AT signal is inverted from Low level to High level, and after a predetermined period of time, it is inverted again from High level to Low level. You may also do so. In this case, the second AT signal is inverted from Low level to High level in the fourth game in the AT state, corresponding to the timing at which the first AT signal is again inverted from High level to Low level. You can do it like this.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, for example, upon completion of the CZ preparation state, or in the next game (first re-inversion processing game) after the game in which the second AT signal re-inversion condition is satisfied, or Upon termination of the state, the second AT signal is again inverted from High level to Low level. In other words, even when the second AT signal is re-inverted from High level to Low level, the situation may be different. Therefore, external signal status information (a type of counter) is provided that corresponds to the output status of external signals that reflect the gaming status, and the external signal status information is updated each time according to changes in the gaming status or external signal status. , it may be made possible to determine in what state the external signal was switched, and thereafter used to determine how the external signal should be switched. For example, counter value = "0" is the low level state of the second AT signal in the non-AT state, counter value = "1" is the high level state of the second AT signal in the CZ preparation state, and the counter value = "1" is the high level state of the second AT signal in the CZ preparation state. = "2" is the low level state of the second AT signal from the start game in the AT state until it is reversed in the first reversal processing game, and the counter value = "3" is due to the reversal in the first reversal processing game. The high level state of the second AT signal, the counter value = "4", and the low level state of the second AT signal, the counter value = "5" due to the re-inversion condition of the second AT signal being satisfied. It may also be a high level state of the second AT signal due to reversal in the second reversal processing game.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the ending in which the navigation can occur in FIG. 6, the second AT signal of High level is output based on the number of times the navigation occurs, but the present invention is not limited to this. Rather, it is an exceptional period during the AT state in which navigation is not included in the predetermined number of times, such as not including the number of navigation at the ending in the predetermined number of times related to the re-inversion condition of the second AT signal. may be provided.

The present invention can be widely applied to gaming machines that are capable of executing pseudo-games during a frozen state in which the progress of the game is restricted.
