  However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, for example, for the player, for example, notification of pushing order other than the transition role is not performed until the gaming state transitions to ART, even if the transition role is dropped even once during the ART preparation period. An adverse penalty was imposed. Therefore, for example, if the transition role is dropped immediately after winning the advantageous state lottery, the number of games must be consumed before the penalty is released, causing a large loss to the player, and the game I was less motivated.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention reduces losses incurred by the player in the process of shifting the gaming state to the advantageous state through at least one gaming state after winning the advantageous state lottery, thereby reducing the gaming motivation. To provide a gaming machine that can avoid the

  The gaming machine according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of rotating reels on the surface of which a plurality of symbols are displayed, a start switch for rotating the rotating reels, and each of the plurality of rotating reels. The rotation of the rotating reel is started based on the plurality of stop switches for stopping the rotating reel and the operation of the start switch, and the rotation of the rotating reel is stopped based on the operation of the stop switch. And a controller. According to the internal lottery section where the control device performs internal lottery of the combination corresponding to the combination of symbols, and the combination won by the internal lottery performed in the predetermined gaming condition, the gaming condition is compared to the current gaming condition Also, an advantageous state lottery section for performing an advantageous state lottery whether or not to shift to an advantageous state for the player, and at least one transition role set for each gaming state by the internal lottery, and the transition And a game state transition unit for transitioning the game state to the game state set for each of the transition roles when the transition conditions set for each role are satisfied. After the gaming state transition unit wins the advantageous state lottery, it stays in the transition preparation period by the internal lottery during a transition preparation period until the gaming state transitions to the advantageous state via at least one gaming state. Among the transition roles set for each gaming state to be played, the specific transition role for shifting the gaming state toward the advantageous state is applied, and the transition condition set for the specific transition role is satisfied. If it is determined that the game mode has been shifted to the game mode set to the specific transition role and the specific transition role has been won by the internal lottery, but the transition condition is not satisfied, the player After the penalty is imposed and the penalty is imposed, it is set to the specific transition member that caused the penalty by the internal lottery. When going to the playing state, it releases the penalty.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, after winning the advantageous state lottery, the transition condition set to the specific transition role during the transition preparation period until the gaming state is shifted to the advantageous state through at least one gaming state. Even if the penalty can not be satisfied, the penalty can be canceled by satisfying the transition condition of the specific transition player that caused the penalty. That is, since the determination of the setting and cancellation of the penalty is performed for each gaming state staying in the transition preparation period, the number of games until the cancellation of the penalty decreases, and the loss incurred by the player due to the penalty imposed during the transition preparation period is It can be reduced.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the slot machine 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the slot machine 1 includes a control device 100 for controlling the entire slot machine 1, a rotating reel unit 40, a rotating reel position detection sensor 44, and a hopper unit 50 for paying out medals. . The control device 100, the rotating reel unit 40, the rotating reel position detection sensor 44 and the hopper unit 50 are disposed inside the housing 10 together with a power supply (not shown) or the like for turning on / off the main power of the slot machine 1. There is.

  The rotating reel unit 40 is composed of three rotating reels 41, 42 and 43 and stepping motors 61, 62 and 63 for driving the rotating reels 41, 42 and 43. The rotating reel unit 40 is disposed substantially at the center of the inside of the housing 10. While the symbols arranged as shown in FIG. 3 are displayed on the surface of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43, a reference point (not shown) is provided. This reference point is, for example, disposed at the center of the symbol (bell A) of A of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43.

  Here, an outline of the game played in the slot machine 1 will be described. When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 31 or, by operating the bet switch 32, medals are betted using stored medals (credits). When a predetermined number of medals set according to the gaming state of the slot machine 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as the "gaming state") are bet, the effective line is activated and the start switch 33 can be operated. The state, that is, the game can be started. At this time, the medals inserted exceeding the specified number of sheets set according to the game state or the like are stored as credits.

  The effective line is a virtual line for determining the winning of the winning combination, and the symbols of the respective rotating reels 41, 42 and 43 displayed in the window 21 are connected one by one by this effective line. In this slot machine 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the effective lines are three in the horizontal direction of the upper line 71, the middle line 72, and the lower line 73, the upward line 74, and the downward line. It consists of 75 diagonally arranged two, and is activated according to the number of medals bet (number of bets). The symbols displayed on the window 21 of the slot machine 1 are, as shown in FIG. 4, three symbols for each rotating reel.

  When the start switch 33 is operated in a state where a game can be started, a lottery by an electronic computer performed in the slot machine 1 (hereinafter, referred to as internal lottery) is performed, and rotation of the respective rotating reels 41, 42, 43 is started Be done. In this state, when any one of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is operated, the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 corresponding to the stop switches 34, 35, 36 stop, and the window 21 is played according to the role played. Results are displayed. By stopping all the rotating reels 41, 42 and 43, one game is finished, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out according to the combination of the symbols arranged on the active line, that is, the winning combination.

  As described above, a series of operations for obtaining the result of the game by operating the bet switch 32, the start switch 33, and the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is called a game, and a game is performed or a period during which the game is performed It is called a period. The unit of game is a game, and one game is called a unit game.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the slot machine 1 has a gaming state composed of normal states 0 to 2 (RT0, RT1 and RT2), ART (RT3), and one type BB implementation state (RT4). ing.

  The normal state is a game state transitioning at the time of RAM clearing after a kind BB end, or a normal state 0 (RT0) which is a gaming state, and when the gaming state is RT0, the single bonus shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. Winning (SB), and when the game state is RT1, the internal lottery is the normal state 1 (RT1), which is a gaming state in which the transition is made when the SB does not win (that is, when the SB is dropped). As a result, in the RT2 transition replay shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and in the RT2 transition replay, the game state is transitioned to the normal state 2 (RT2), which is a gaming state. When the gaming state is RT2 and SB is dropped, the gaming state shifts from RT2 to RT1.

  ART (RT3) is a gaming state in which, when the gaming state is RT2, as a result of the internal lottery, the player wins the RT3 transition replay shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 and the RT3 transition replay wins. If the game state is ART and the SB is dropped, the game state shifts from ART to RT1.

  In the ART, the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated in a predetermined operation procedure (pushing order) in a state where the probability of replay (replay) is higher than in the normal states 0 to 2 and the medals are hard to decrease. It is a gaming state in which a notification is issued to reliably acquire a specific combination (push-on) that can be won. Once the gaming state shifts to ART, the gaming state is considered to be ART until the period of time in which ART can play a game (the number of ART games) elapses and ART is ended. That is, for example, even if the gaming state shifts to RT1 due to the dropping of the SB after the gaming state shifts to ART, it is considered to be in ART.

  The type 1 BB execution state (RT 4) is a game state in which the type 1 BB is won after winning the type 1 BB shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 and before the predetermined number of medals are paid out in the type 1 BB. . The payout number of medals can be arbitrarily set, for example, within 480 sheets. When a predetermined medal is paid out during the one type BB implementation state, it shifts to RT0.

  In addition, 1 type BB is a continuous actuation device (so-called big bonus) concerning 1 type special role. In this slot machine 1, the symbol “seven” of No. 10 shown in FIG. 3 is associated with all the rotating reels 41, 42 and 43 as a symbol relating to a kind of BB winning.

  SB, RT2 transition replay, RT3 transition replay, and a type BB satisfy predetermined transition conditions (ie, RT2 transition replay, RT3 transition replay, and a type BB are won, and SB is missed) This is an example of a transition combination that enables transition of the gaming state. Further, SB, RT2 transition replay, and RT3 transition replay are examples of the specific winning combination that can be won by operating the stop switches 34, 35, 36 in a predetermined pressing order.

(Control device)
As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 100 includes a main control unit 110 and a sub control unit 120.

  The main control unit 110 includes a CPU that performs calculations and the like, a ROM and a RAM that store programs and data that are necessary for the progress of the game, and the like, and performs control for advancing the game. For example, based on the operation of the bet switch 32, the start switch 33 and the stop switches 34, 35, 36, the stepping motors 61, 62, 63 are controlled to start or end the rotation of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43.

  Further, the sub control unit 120 also includes a CPU for performing calculations and the like, a ROM and a RAM for storing programs and data necessary for the progress of the game, and the like, as the main control unit 110, and various effects and the like Control to do. For example, the effect content is determined based on the signal transmitted from the main control unit 110, and the liquid crystal display device 22, the illumination device 23, and the speaker 24 are controlled to output the determined effect content.

  In addition, each part which comprises the main control part 110 demonstrated below and the sub control part 120 is a function implement | achieved when CPU runs a predetermined | prescribed program.

[Main control unit]
As shown in FIG. 2, the main control unit 110 has an internal lottery unit 111, a rotating reel control unit 112, a game result determination unit 113, a hopper control unit 114, an external signal output unit 115, and an advantageous state lottery unit. 116, a gaming state transition unit 117, an ART control unit 118, and a measurement unit 119.

  The internal lottery unit 111 has a plurality of winning combination tables 1111, and based on an operation signal of the start switch 33, performs lottery of a combination associated with a combination of predetermined symbols of the rotating reels 41, 42 and 43. . Specifically, the internal lottery unit 111 selects the winning combination table 1111 used for the internal lottery shown in FIG. 6 according to the gaming state shown in FIG. 5, and the random number acquired when the operation signal of the start switch 33 is output. The internal lottery is performed based on the selected symbol extraction table 1111, and the winning combination is determined by the internal lottery. The result of the internal lottery is output by the internal lottery unit 111 as an internal lottery result signal.

  In the slot machine 1, a predetermined number of medals are stored in the operation signal of the bet switch 32, and when the bet switch 32 is operated and received during the bet reception period (the bet switch) (When 32 is turned on).

  When the operation signal of the start switch 33 is received while the operation signal of the bet switch 32 or the detection signal of the medal insertion sensor for a predetermined number of sheets is output and the operation of the start switch 33 is performed (start switch 33) Is turned on).

  The operation signal of the stop switch 34, 35, 36 is the state where the operation signal of the start switch 33 is output after the rotation of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 is started and the rotation is steady, the stop switch 34, 35, When the operation 36 is performed and accepted (when the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are turned on), the signal is output.

  Further, it is determined for each game whether or not the operation signal of each switch of the bet switch 32, the start switch 33, and the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is output. Further, in the present specification, the operation of each switch means an operation in which the operation signal of each switch is output, unless otherwise described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the role extraction table 1111 is provided for each of the gaming states RT0 to RT4 and has information on winning areas that may be winning due to internal extraction of the internal extracting portion 111 shown in FIG. doing. In this winning area, at least one combination in which a combination of symbols is associated is set.

  In each winning combination table shown in FIG. 6, for each gaming state, a winning area that may be hit is indicated by "o", and a winning area that is not likely to be hit is indicated by "x". The role extraction table 1111 is provided with a plurality of areas (areas with a fixed number) in which the roles corresponding to the random numbers acquired when the operation of the start switch 33 is performed are provided. Is associated with the winning area indicated by "o".

  In FIG. 7, the order of the operations of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 for which the winning combination can be won is indicated by three numerals in the upper part of the table. In this figure, "1" means the left reel, "2" the middle reel, and "3" the operation of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 corresponding to the right reel. For example, if "123", the stop switches 34, 35 and 36 are operated in the order of the stop switch 34 corresponding to the left reel 41, the stop switch 35 corresponding to the middle reel 42, and the stop switch 36 corresponding to the right reel 43. It is shown that. The pushing order of the pushing order is notified when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In the slot machine 1, all the roles set in the winning winning areas are set to win at the same time. For example, as a result of the part extraction of the internal lottery portion 111, when hit in the hit areas "inside bell 1 to 4" and "right side bell 1 to 4", in the middle bell and the inside bell 1 to 4 or the right side bell 1 to 4 I win at the same time.

  For example, in the case of hitting "middle bell 1", the order of operation of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is middle bells of "213" and "231" and the order of operation of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is "123" "Bell" at the same time, "132", "312" and "321". The middle bell of "213" and the middle bell of "231" are associated with the same symbol combination. Moreover, the combination of the same symbol is matched with the inside bell 1 of "123", "132", "312" and "321".

  Also, the middle bell, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 are small part with the payout of medals, and the medals paid out when winning are more than the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 The middle bell is set to be more. In the slot machine 1, when three medals are betted, eight medals are paid out in the middle bell, and one medal is paid out in the middle bell ̃4 and the right bells 1-4.

  The rotating reel control unit 112 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, 63 of the rotating reel unit 40 based on the operation signal of the start switch 33 to start the rotation of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43. To be done. In addition, the rotating reel control unit 112 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, 63 of the rotating reel unit 40 based on the operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 to rotate each rotating reel 41, 42. , 43 is stopped.

  In the rotation stop control, the stop position of each rotating reel 41, 42, 43 is determined based on the internal lottery result signal etc. output by the internal lottery unit 111, and for example, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is on the effective line. To stop the rotation of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 (so-called pull-in control), or the symbols corresponding to the part that is not pressed are not aligned on the effective line Stop the rotation (so-called kick control). The rotation reel control unit 112 outputs the result of the rotation stop control of the rotation reels 41, 42, 43 as a rotation reel stop signal.

  The game result determination unit 113 determines the result of the game based on the winning result signal output from the internal lottery unit 111 and the rotating reel stop signal output from the rotating reel control unit 112. The game result includes, for example, a determination as to whether or not the winning combination has won based on the symbols arranged on the activated line. Here, when the combination of symbols stopped on the activated line matches a predetermined symbol, the game result determination unit 113 determines that the winning combination is won, and outputs this determination result as a game result determination signal.

  The hopper control unit 114 controls the hopper unit 50 based on the game result determination signal output by the game result determination unit or the operation signal output by operating the settlement switch of the operation unit 30, Pay out. The medals paid out based on the game result determination signal (a medal of a winning combination, a medal obtained by winning) are first stored as credits. Then, as a result of storing the medals, when the upper limit (for example, 50 sheets) of the credit is exceeded, the medals exceeding the upper limit are paid out from the hopper unit 50. In addition, when the settlement switch is operated when there is one or more stored medals (when the credit is 1 or more), the stored medals are paid out from the hopper unit 50.

  When the gaming state shifts to a predetermined advantageous state, the external signal output unit 115 outputs a signal indicating that the gaming state has shifted to the predetermined advantageous state to the hall computer. Further, when the slot machine 1 is changed in setting or reset, the external signal output unit 115 causes the sub control unit 120 or the like to change the setting change signal indicating that the slot machine 1 is changed in setting or the slot machine 1 It outputs a reset signal indicating that it has been reset, or a power on signal that indicates that the slot machine 1 has been powered on.

  Note that the advantageous state is a state advantageous to the player who has a high expectation of medal acquisition directly or indirectly from the current gaming state, for example, ART, and one kind of BB implementation state as well as normal state Also includes the ART high probability state in.

  The advantageous state lottery unit 116 is, for example, an ART lottery of one example of the advantageous state lottery or a high probability state based on the gaming state and the internal lottery result signal etc. output from the internal lottery unit 111 of the main control unit 110. Make a transition lottery.

  The ART lottery is a lottery as to whether or not to generate the ART, which is performed when the gaming state is RT0 to RT2 (except during ART) and the player wins a predetermined role by internal lottery. The advantageous state extraction unit 116 is provided with a plurality of tables selected according to the extraction state (for example, the high probability state or the low probability state), and based on this table and the role played by the internal extraction, The winning probability of the ART lottery is determined. Based on the determined winning probability, the advantageous status extracting unit 116 determines whether or not the ART lottery has been won, and if it is determined that the ART lottery has been won, the ART-playable game is also possible. Determine the period (the number of ART games) and the like. The result of the ART lottery is output by the advantageous state lottery unit 116 as an ART lottery result signal.

  The high-probability state transition lottery is a extraction that is performed when the lottery state is a low-probability state, and whether or not to shift the lottery state from the low-probability state to the high-probability state. In this high probability state transition lottery, the winning probability is determined on the basis of the winning combination by internal lottery, and does not involve the transition of the gaming state. The result of the high probability state transition lottery is output by the advantageous state lottery unit 116 as a high probability state lottery result signal.

  The game state transition unit 117 wins the transition combination set for each gaming state by internal lottery, and sets the game state for each transition combination when the transition conditions set to this transition combination are satisfied. It shifts to the play state which was done.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the gaming state is RT0, RT2 or RT3, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition to RT1, and RT2 when the gaming state is RT1. When the transition replay is won, the gaming state is shifted to RT2, and when the RT3 transition replay is won when the gaming state is RT2, the gaming state is shifted to RT3. That is, the transition condition of the SB is to be dropped, and the transition condition of the RT2 transition replay and the RT3 transition replay is to win a prize. In addition, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition to RT4 when one type BB is won when the gaming state is RT0 to RT3. That is, one kind of transition condition of BB is to make a prize. Note that, after the gaming state is shifted to RT4, when a predetermined number of medals are paid out, the gaming state transition unit 117 shifts the gaming state from RT4 to RT0.

  In addition, the gaming state transition unit 117 generates a notification that can satisfy the transition condition set for each transition in the gaming period (transition preparation period) for transitioning the gaming state to ART. Specifically, the gaming state transition unit 117 has a plurality of notification modes, and based on one of the notification modes selected from the plurality of notification modes and the gaming state in which it is staying, The notification of the pushing order of the pushing order is generated.

  The selection of the notification mode is performed as follows. That is, when an ART lottery is won, or when a type BB is won during a transition preparation period and a predetermined number of medals are paid out, a notification mode corresponding to the gaming state to stay is selected.

  In addition, during the transition preparation period, when it hits the specific transition part which is set to the game state which is staying by internal lottery, the notification mode which corresponds to the game state which is set to the specific transition part is selected . Here, the specific transition combination means a transition combination for shifting the gaming state from RT0 to RT3 among the transition combinations set in each gaming state.

  That is, during the transition preparation period, when the user stays in the first gaming state and the first notification mode corresponding to the first gaming state is selected, the first gaming state is set by internal lottery. After winning the specified transition combination, the second notification mode corresponding to the second gaming state set in the particular transition combination is selected.

  The notification mode is configured by the gaming state to stay in the transition preparation period, that is, the notification mode 0 to the notification mode 2 associated with each of RT0 to RT2. When broadcast mode 0 is selected, table 0 shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and when broadcast mode 1 is selected, table 1 shown in FIG. 8 is referenced and when broadcast mode 2 is selected, FIG. Table 2 shown is referred to. In the table shown in FIG. 8, the specific combination that generates the notification of the push order is indicated by “o”, and the specific combination that does not cause the notification of the push order is indicated by “x”. In addition, "BELLNAVI" shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to notification of pushing order for winning middle bells of hit areas "BEL 1-4" and "BELL 1-4" shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. The SB navigation corresponds to the notification of the pressing order of the winning areas "single bonus 1 to 6" shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and the "Rip navigation" shows "RT2 (RT3) transition replay" shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. It corresponds to the notification of the pressing order of.

  The notification mode 0 is selected when the player wins the ART lottery when the gaming state is RT0, or alternatively, when one type BB wins during the transition preparation period and shifts to RT0 via RT4. In the notification mode 0, the gaming state transition unit 117 notifies the pushing order of winning the middle bells of the winning areas "middle bells 1 to 4" and "right bells 1 to 4" and the pushing order for dropping "SB". Generate a notification.

  The notification mode 1 is selected when an ART lottery is played when the gaming state is RT1, or when an SB is played by an internal lottery when the gaming state is RT0. In the notification mode 1, when the gaming state is RT1, the gaming state transition unit 117 notifies the pushing order of winning the middle bells of "middle bell 1 to 4" and "right bell 1 to 4", and "RT 2 transition replay The notification of the order of pushing to win the prize is generated. In addition, when the game state is RT0, only the notification of the pressing order for dropping "SB" is generated.

  The notification mode 2 is selected when the RT2 transition replay is judged by the internal lottery. In the notification mode 2, when the gaming state is RT2, the gaming state transition unit 117 notifies the pushing order of winning the middle bells of "middle bell 1 to 4" and "right bell 1 to 4", and "SB". The notification of the pressing order for winning, the notification of the pressing order for winning "RT3 transition replay", and the notification of the pressing order are generated. In addition, when the gaming state is RT1, the gaming state transition unit 117 generates only notification of the pressing order for winning “RT2 transition replay”.

  In addition, when staying in the first gaming state, I won the specific transition role set to the first gaming state in the internal lottery, but I could not meet the transition condition of this specific transition role In this case, the second notification mode corresponding to the second gaming state is selected. As described above, when the staying gaming state is different from the selected notification mode, the gaming state transition unit 117 shifts to the gaming state set to the specific transition combination causing the penalty. Up to a penalty that would be detrimental to the player.

  For example, when staying at RT0, the SB is won by internal lottery, but if this SB is made to win, the notification mode 1 corresponding to RT1 is selected from the next game, but staying The playing state is still at RT0. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, a penalty is imposed that if the SB is dropped and the process is shifted to RT1, the "bell navigation" which has occurred does not occur. This penalty is resolved by shifting the gaming state set in the SB, which is the specific transition combination causing the penalty, that is, the gaming state to RT1.

  In addition, when it is determined that the notification of the pressing order of the predetermined pressing order is to be generated, a notification signal is output by the gaming state transition unit 117, and the predetermined pressing is performed by the effect control unit 121 of the sub control unit 120 described later. The pushing order of the order is notified.

  When the gaming state shifts, a transition signal representing that the gaming state has shifted is output by the gaming state shift unit 117. That is, when the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to shift to RT0, it outputs an RT0 signal indicating that the gaming state has shifted to RT0, and when the gaming state transitions to RT1, the gaming state transitions to RT1 The RT1 transition signal is output to indicate that the gaming state is shifted to RT2, and the RT2 transition signal indicating that the gaming state is shifted to RT2 is output, and the gaming state is shifted to RT3, and the gaming state is shifted to RT3. When an ART signal representing that has been made is output and the gaming state is shifted to RT4, a kind of BB signal representing that the gaming state has shifted to RT4 is outputted.

  Further, the gaming state transition unit 117 sets the upper limit value (the number of ceiling games) of the number of games required to shift the gaming state to a predetermined advantageous state, and measures based on the ceiling measurement signal output from the measurement unit 119 It is determined whether or not the number of ceiling-digested games has reached the set number of ceiling games. When it is determined that the measured number of ceiling-digested games has reached the set number of ceiling games, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition to a predetermined advantageous state. For example, when it is determined that the number of ceiling-digested games measured by the measurement unit 119 has reached the set number of ceiling games, the gaming state transition unit 117 outputs a forced transition signal to forcibly set the gaming state to ART. Migrate to

  The number of ceiling games is, for example, a predetermined number of games, and in addition to the case where the measured number of ceiling-digested games reaches the set number of ceiling games, the setting change or reset of the slot machine 1 Etc. are reset.

  The ART control unit 118 generates a notification of the pushing order of the pushing order combination accepted by the internal lottery until the number of ART games elapses after the RT3 transition replay is won by the internal lottery during the transition preparation period. Notification of the pushing order of the pushing order is performed via the liquid crystal display device 22 or the like.

  During the transition preparation period, if RT3 transition replay is performed by internal lottery, the ART control unit 118 selects the ART mode. When the ART mode is selected, the ART table shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and notification of the pushing order of the pushing order is performed based on the ART table and the staying gaming state. In the table shown in FIG. 9, as in the notification mode shown in FIG. 8, the pushing order for generating the notification is indicated by "o", and the pushing order not generating the notification is indicated by "x".

  In addition, the ART control unit 118 selects the number of games after the ART mode is selected based on the ART extraction result signal output by the advantageous state extraction unit 116 and the ART measurement signal output by the measurement unit 119 ( It is determined whether the number of ART digested games has reached the number of ART games. If it is determined that the number of ART-digested games has reached the number of ART games, the ART control unit 118 stops the notification of the pressing order of the pressing order and ends the ART.

  The measuring unit 119 measures the number of ART-digested games based on the game result determination signal output from the game result determination unit 113. The measured number of ART-digested games is output by the measuring unit 119 as an ART measurement signal. When a player wins a BB during ART, the measurement of the number of ART-digested games by the measurement unit 119 is suspended until the game state replays RT3 transition replay again after the gaming state shifts to RT0 via RT4.

  Once the ART mode is selected by the ART control unit 118, for example, even if the gaming state shifts from RT3 to RT1 by dropping the SB, the measurement of the number of ART digested games by the measurement unit 119 is not interrupted. . That is, the effect of increasing the replay probability can not be obtained until the gaming state is shifted to RT3 again, and the number of medals acquired or the medal expected value decreases.

  In addition, based on the game result determination signal output from the game result determination unit 113, the measurement unit 119 measures the game period that has elapsed without transitioning to this advantage state after the end of the predetermined advantage state. Specifically, for example, after the ART is ended and the gaming state shifts from RT3 to RT1, the gaming period (the number of ceiling-digested games) which has elapsed without judging the ART lottery is measured. The measured number of ceiling-digested games is output by the measurement unit 119 as a ceiling measurement signal.

  Note that the measurement unit 119 resets the number of ceiling-digested games to zero when receiving an ART signal or an RT4 transition signal, that is, when transitioning to an advantageous state. Also, when the setting change signal, the reset signal, or the power on signal is received, that is, when the setting change, the reset, or the power on of the slot machine 1 is performed, the number of ceiling digest games is reset to zero.

[Sub control unit]
As shown in FIG. 2, the sub control unit 120 includes an effect control unit 121.

  For example, the effect control unit 121 may use the combination extraction result signal output from the internal extraction unit 111, the ART extraction result signal output from the advantageous state extraction unit 116, or each transition signal output from the gaming state transition unit 117. In response, an effect pattern is selected for each game. The selection of the effect pattern is performed based on a game state or a table (not shown) in which the content of the effect corresponding to the role or the like won by the internal lottery is stored. Based on the selected effect pattern, the effect control unit 121 controls the liquid crystal display device 22, the electric decoration device 23, and the speaker 24 to output an effect.

  The effect table stored in the effect control unit 121 includes, for example, a prognostic effect table that may be selected when a predetermined winning combination or ART lottery is performed. The omen effect table is one of the areas stored in the effect table selected only during a predetermined game period (prediction effect period) in which omen effect is performed, and in omen effect, the gaming state is in an advantageous state It is one of the effects that suggest the degree of expectation to shift.

  When the indication effect table is selected, the effect control unit 121 determines and stores, for example, the number of games for which the indication effect is to be performed (the number of indication games). Then, the effect control unit 121 measures the number of games played during the precursor effect period (predictive game number) which has elapsed from the start of the precursor effect, and whether or not the number of the precursor game has reached the stored precursor game number Determine If it is determined that the number of prognostic games has reached the stored number of prognostic games, the effect control unit 121 ends the prognostic effect.

  Further, the effect control unit 121 notifies the pressing order of the pressing order based on the notification signal output by the gaming state transition unit 117. Notification of the pushing order of the pushing order is performed through the liquid crystal display device 22, the electric decoration device 23, and the speaker 24.

(Game control processing)
Next, with reference to FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, transition control processing of the gaming state in the transition preparation period of the slot machine 1 will be described. The processing described below is implemented by the control device 100 executing a predetermined program.

[Transition process of gaming state from RT0 to RT1 in transition preparation period]
As shown in FIG. 10, notification mode 0 is selected by the gaming state transition unit 117 (step S101), and internal lottery is performed by the internal lottery unit 111 (step S102).

  When the internal lottery is performed by the internal lottery unit 111, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether or not the role held by the internal lottery is a type BB (step S103). When it is determined that the winning combination by internal lottery is not a kind BB, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the winning combination is SB or not (step S104).

  As a result of the internal lottery, if it is determined that the winning combination is SB, the gaming state transition unit 117 selects the notification mode 1 when the selected notification mode is the notification mode 0 (step S105), While notifying the pushing order that the winning SB has been dropped, it is determined whether or not the winning SB has not won a prize, that is, whether the SB has been dropped (step S106). If it is determined that the SB has been dropped, the gaming state transition unit 117 shifts the gaming state from RT0 to RT1 (step S107), and ends the transition processing of the gaming state.

  If it is determined in step S104 that the winning combination is determined to be a kind BB, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition from RT0 to RT4 with a kind BB prize (step S108), The transition process of the gaming state is ended.

  If it is determined in step S105 that the winning combination is determined not to be the SB by internal lottery, or if the SB winning the internal lottery has won in step S107, the process returns to step S103 as it is. An internal lottery takes place.

  When the process returns to step S103 due to the SB winning, since the notification mode 1 is selected, the column RT0 of the table 1 shown in FIG. 8 is referred to until the gaming state shifts to RT1. This imposes a penalty that no bell navigation occurs.

[Transition process of gaming state from RT1 to RT2 during transition preparation period]
As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the notification mode is already selected during the transition preparation period (step S201). When the notification mode is not already selected, the notification mode 1 is selected by the gaming state transition unit 117 (step S202), and the internal lottery unit 111 performs internal lottery (step S203).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the notification mode has already been selected, the internal extracting unit 111 performs internal lottery without changing the selected notification mode (step S203).

  When the internal lottery is performed by the internal lottery unit 111, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether or not the combination held by the internal lottery is a kind BB (step S204). If it is determined that the winning combination by internal lottery is not one BB, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the winning combination is RT2 transition replay (step S205).

  If it is determined that the winning combination is the RT2 transition replay as a result of the internal lottery, the gaming state transition unit 117 selects the notification mode 2 when the selected notification mode is the notification mode 1 (step S206). ), It is determined whether or not the winning RT2 transition replay has won (step S207). If it is determined that the RT2 transition replay is won, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition from RT1 to RT2 (step S208), and ends the transition processing of the gaming state.

  If it is determined in step S204 that the winning combination is determined to be a kind BB by internal lottery, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition from RT1 to RT4 with a kind BB prize (step S209). The transition process of the gaming state is ended.

  If it is determined in step S205 that the winning combination is determined not to be the RT2 transition replay by the internal lottery, or if the RT2 migration replay held by the internal lottery is missed in the step S207, the process returns directly to step S203. An internal lottery takes place.

  When the process returns to step S203 due to the drop of the RT2 transition replay, since the notification mode 2 is selected, the column of RT1 of the table 2 shown in FIG. 8 is referred to until the game state shifts to RT2. This imposes a penalty that no bell navigation occurs.

[Transition process of gaming state from RT2 to RT3 during transition preparation period]
As shown in FIG. 12, the notification mode 2 is selected by the gaming state transition unit 117 (step S301), and the internal lottery unit 111 performs internal lottery (step S302).

  When the internal lottery is performed by the internal lottery unit 111, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether or not the combination held by the internal lottery is a kind BB (step S303). If it is determined that the winning combination by internal lottery is not a kind BB, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the winning combination is SB or not (step S304). If it is determined that the winning combination is not SB, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the winning combination is RT3 transition replay (step S305).

  When it is determined that the winning combination by the internal lottery is the RT3 transition replay, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the won RT3 transition replay has won (step S306). If it is determined that the RT3 transition replay has won, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition from RT2 to RT3 (step S307), and ends the transition processing of the gaming state.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the RT3 transition replay has not won (done), the gaming state transition unit 117 determines that the gaming state has transitioned to ART (step S308), and ends the transition processing of the gaming state. Thereby, the measurement of the number of ART digested games by the measurement unit 119 is started while the gaming state is RT2.

  When it is determined in step S303 that the winning combination is determined to be a kind BB by internal lottery, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition from RT2 to RT4 together with a kind BB prize (step S309). The transition process of the gaming state is ended.

  If it is determined in step S304 that the winning combination is an SB, the gaming state transition unit 117 determines whether the dropped SB has been dropped (step S310). If it is determined that the SB has been dropped, the gaming state transition unit 117 causes the gaming state to transition to RT1 (step S311), and ends the transition processing of the gaming state.

  If it is determined in step S305 that the winning combination is not RT3 transition replay, or if it is determined in step S310 that the winning SB has not been dropped, the process returns to step S302 and internal lottery is performed. .

  As described above, in the transition preparation period, for example, when the gaming state is RT0, the internal lottery wins the SB, but when SB is made to win, the gaming state remains RT0 and the notification mode 1 corresponding to RT1 is It is selected. In this case, the player is penalized, and no notification of push order bell is generated, but this is done by switching the gaming state from RT0 to RT1 by holding the SB again by internal lottery and dropping the SB. You can cancel the penalty.

  That is, in the slot machine 1, since the judgment of setting and releasing the penalty is performed for each gaming state staying during the transition preparation period, the number of games until the cancellation of the penalty decreases, and the penalty imposed during the transition preparation period. Can reduce the loss incurred by the player.

  In addition, in each table of FIG. 8 which is referred to when each notification mode is selected, the specific shift combination other than the specific shift combination is added in the pressing order of the specific shift combination for each gaming state that may be selected. , Here, information on the notification of the push order of the push order bell is predetermined. Therefore, the processing load on the control device 100 can be reduced.

(Other embodiments)
The control device 100 is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or a dedicatedly designed device that realizes a predetermined function only with hardware, instead of the CPU that executes the predetermined function in cooperation with software. , ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) may be included.

  The main control unit 110 and the sub control unit 120 may be provided on different substrates, or may be provided on the same substrate. That is, the main control unit 110 and the sub control unit 120 may each include a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, or may share the CPU, the ROM, the RAM, and the like.

  The penalty during the transition preparation period can be arbitrarily set as long as the number of medals obtained or the expected value of medals becomes smaller compared to the case where no penalty is imposed. For example, in a state in which a penalty is imposed, for example, 100% notification of a regular turn-off may be notified 50% of the time, or notification may be made until an internal lottery is performed a predetermined number of times. May not be performed.

  The specific combination is not limited to the case of winning by operating the stop switches 34, 35, 36 in a predetermined pushing order. The specific combination may be made winning by operating the stop switches 34, 35, 36 at a predetermined position (predetermined timing), for example, or in addition to the predetermined position (predetermined timing), a predetermined push may be made. It is also possible to win by operating the stop switches 34, 35, 36 in order.

  The condition for causing the gaming state transition unit 117 to shift the gaming state is not limited to the case where the transition combination is won or missed, but may be transitioned to the gaming state, for example, when winning by internal lottery.

  The SB need not necessarily be provided, and it is not necessary to shift the gaming state to RT1 due to the drop of the SB.

  When a specific transition combination is won by internal lottery, the notification mode corresponding to the gaming state set to the specific transition combination is selected, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when an internal lottery wins a specific transition combination and the transition conditions set in the specific transition combination are satisfied, a notification mode corresponding to the gaming state set in the particular transition combination is selected. You may

  The table to be referred to when the notification mode is selected is not limited to one, and one table may be selected from a plurality of tables by extraction. For example, when the notification mode 1 is selected, the table for generating the notification of the push order bell and the table not to generate the notification of the push order bell may be selected by extraction.

  The table may include information on the probability of generating a notification as well as the information on the pressing order to generate the notification. Thus, for example, in the notification mode 1, 80% of SBs that have won by internal lottery generate a notification of push order, and in the notification mode 2, 75% of the RT2 transition replays that are won by internal lottery are winning. Notification of order may be generated.

  A plurality of gaming states staying in the transition preparation period may be set including the gaming state for winning the ART lottery, and can be arbitrarily set according to the design of the slot machine.

  Instead of the type BB, a pseudo bonus may be adopted. The gaming state after the end of the simulated bonus may be shifted to the normal state 0, as in the embodiment described above, or may be returned to the gaming state in which the simulated bonus is won.

  In addition to one type of BB, or in place of one type of BB, two types of BB may be included. Two-class BB is a so-called challenge time that is a continuous actuation device related to two-class special effects.

  The role extraction table 1111 is not limited to the one including the information shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and can be arbitrarily changed according to the design of the slot machine.

Valid line is good lever is set at least one. Further, the lines 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 of the respective rotating reels 41, 42, 43 shown in FIG. 4 do not need to be made effective lines, for example, of the respective rotating reels 41, 42, 43. A line in which the symbols are arranged in a V shape may be used as an effective line. Further, the valid lines are not limited to being activated according to the number of bets, and for example, all the activated lines may be activated by betting one medal. Furthermore, the effective line may be varied according to the gaming state.

  The ART is not limited to the set type, and the number of continuous games in which the game continuous extraction is performed may be indefinite.

  The advantageous state may include, for example, the high probability lottery state of the ART in the normal state without transition of the gaming state, not limited to the ART and the one-BB implementation state.

  If possible, the configuration of the start switch and the main control unit 110 may be provided in the sub control unit 120, or the configuration of the sub control unit 120 may be provided in the main control unit 110.

  The configurations and functions described above may be combined as appropriate, and may be selected, replaced, or deleted as appropriate.
