The role lottery means 210 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values in a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The process by the role lottery means 210 is performed in step S11 (see FIG. 14) described later.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the roles are randomly divided by the role lottery means 210, and the bonus is RBB, basic replay of NRP, promoted replay of URP1-6, fall replay of DRP1-6, and the like. , 9 BE 1 to 9 Bell, CRP special replay, CH Cherry, 12 BE common bells are provided. Here, the bonus transition role (RBB), the special replay (CRP), and the cherry (CH) are roles with no difference.

NRP has a lottery value at RT0, RT1, RT2, and RBBF, and is a target of the lottery. Each of the URPs 1 to 6 has a lottery value at RT1 and is a target of the lottery. The DRPs 1 to 6 have a lottery value at the time of RT2 and are considered as the targets of the lottery. 9BE1 to 9 have lottery values at RT0, RT1, RT2, RBBF, and RBB, and are selected as lottery targets. CRP has a lottery value at the time of RBBF. CH has a lottery value at the time of RBBF and is a target of the lottery. 12BE has a lottery value at RT0, RT1, RT2, and RBBF, and is a target of the lottery.
In the present embodiment, the special replay (CRP) and the cherry (CH) correspond to so-called rare roles (role lottery results). And, these special replays and cherries are the occasions for shifting to the advantageous section. Further, in the present embodiment, as described later, the cherry (CH) makes the winning of the cherry the same as the bonus shift combination (RBB).

In the present embodiment, the promotion replays of URPs 1 to 6 are ones in which a plurality of roles are respectively won in duplicate, and a pressing order is assigned to each of the plurality of roles. If you make a mistake, maintain the game state. For example, URP 1 has won “Replay combination to shift to RT2 (hereinafter referred to as RT2 transition replay combination)” and “Replay combination not to shift to RT2 (hereinafter referred to as normal replay combination)” in a duplicate manner. It shall be. Assign the correct pressing order to the “RT2 transition replay role”, assign a pressing order other than the correct pressing order to the “normal replay role”, and stop operation in the correct pressing order “RT2 transition replay role” "" Is transitioned from the current state to the RT2 state, and when the stop operation is performed in the pushing order other than the pushing order of the correct answer, the "normal replay role" is realized and the current state is maintained.
In the fall replays of DRP1 to DRP6, a plurality of winning combinations are respectively won, and a pressing order is assigned to each of the multiple winning combinations. If the pressing order is correct, the gaming state is maintained, and the incorrect answer is It falls to RT1. For example, it is assumed that DRP1 has won the "RT1 transition replay role" and the "normal replay role" in duplicate. The nine bells of 9BE1 to 9 are those in which a plurality of winning combinations are respectively won, and the pressing order is assigned to each of the plurality of winning combinations, and nine pieces of payout are obtained if the correct pressing order is obtained. If the correct answer is only one stop, three payouts can be obtained, and if the first stop is also incorrect, one payout can be obtained with a probability of 1⁄4. For example, it is assumed that 9BE1 has won the combination of “9 pieces of payouts”, “3 pieces of payouts” and “1⁄4 one piece of payouts” .

  The push order includes “LCR, LRC, CLR, CRL, RLC, RCL”.

  In the case of pushing order "LCR" as an example, so-called "forward pushing" is called, the letter "L" at the beginning indicates "left stop switch L", and the position of the beginning is the beginning of the operation order (1 Means to be The second letter "C" from the top indicates "medium stop switch C", and the second position from the top means that the operation order is the second. The last letter "R" indicates "right stop switch R", and the last position means that the operation order is the last (third).

  For example, in the case of URP1, when it is correct in LCR pressing order, it is promoted to RT2, and in the other pressing order, RT1 is maintained. If it is DRP1, RT1 will be maintained if it is correct in LCR pushing order, and it will fall to RT1 in other pushing order. In the case of 9BE1, when the correct order of LCR pressing is correct, nine payouts are obtained, and when the operation is performed in the LCR push order in which only the first stop is correct, three pays are obtained, and other pressing order is If it is, one payout can be obtained with a probability of 1/4.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the small role includes “bell role” such as nine bells and “cherry role”, but is not limited thereto, and includes “watermelon role”, “chance role”, etc. It may be done.

  In addition, the small winning combination includes a "push combination" such as nine bells in the present embodiment, which is a winning combination in which the winning combination is made when the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is operated in a predetermined order. .

  Moreover, about the combination of the kind of combination and symbol which are drawn by the combination lottery means 210, it is not limited to what is shown in FIG.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is a means included in the main control board 200, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotating reel 62. The reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotation reel 62 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotation reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. The reel control means 220 may set conditions for stopping whether or not the order (pushing order) when each stop switch 50 is operated to stop is adapted to a predetermined condition, as necessary. The processing by the reel control means 220 is performed in step S12 (see FIG. 14) described later.

(Stop symbol determination means 230)
The stop symbol determination means 230 is a means included in the main control board 200, and is for storing combinations of the symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped, and for determining a prize or the like. is there. In addition, the process by the stop symbol determination means 230 is performed in step S13 (refer FIG. 14) mentioned later.

(Payout control means 240)
The payout control means 240 is for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. The payout control means 240 pays out the medals if it is determined that the small winning combination is won as a result of the determination by the stop symbol determination means 230.

(Game control means 250)
The game control means 250 controls a game.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 250 may be roughly classified into general game control means 251, RT game control means 252, and bonus game control means 253.

(General game control means 251)
The general game control means 251 controls the progress of the “normal game (RT0 and RT1)”. Here, the “normal game (RT0 and RT1)” refers to a game other than the RT game (RT2) by the RT game control means 252 and the bonus game by the bonus game control means 253.

(RT game control means 252)
The RT game control means 252 controls the progress of “RT game (RT2)” described later with reference to FIG.
The RT game control means 252 is an RT game that can be executed in RT2 in which the winning probability of the replay player (for example, basic replay: NRP) in the role lottery of the role lottery means 210 is set higher than normal (for example, RT0 and RT1). Control the progression of Note that RT2 (RT game) in the advantageous section shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to the ART state shown in FIG. 10, and RT2 (RT game) in the non-advantage section shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to the normal gaming state shown in FIG. doing.

(Bonus game control means 253)
The bonus game control means 253 controls the progress of the bonus game (RBB). Further, the bonus game control means 253 controls a state (bonus game state) in which a bonus game can be performed, which will be described later with reference to FIG.
"Bonus game" is transitioned by aligning the pattern of the bonus transfer combination after winning the bonus transfer combination (RBB + Cherry). Here, the bonus shift combination is RBB, and the symbol of the bonus shift combination is a symbol (red 7-red 7-red 7) corresponding to RBB.
When the predetermined end condition is satisfied, in the present embodiment, the process is ended due to the fact that there is a payout exceeding the prescribed number (for example, 150 sheets), etc., and the process shifts to “RT0 for general game”.
In the present embodiment, the bonus transfer role (RBB) is won in combination with Cherry (CH). Therefore, “winning in bonus transfer combination” means double winning of the bonus transfer combination (RBB) and cherry (CH). That is, in the present embodiment, the bonus game which is the advantageous section can be executed when the winning combination of the combination (cherry) and the bonus transition combination (RBB) set at the trigger of the transition lottery of the advantageous section is triggered. It is like that. For this reason, specifically, with Cherry (CH) as a trigger, the bonus game which is an advantageous section by aligning the symbol combination (red 7-red 7-red 7) of the bonus transfer part (RBB) on the effective line Will be started.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, execution becomes possible by winning a bonus shift combination (RBB) as an advantageous section, and a replay combination (for example, basic replay: There is provided a bonus internal winning game (RBBF) in which the NRP winning probability is set higher than normal (for example, RT0 and RT1). More specifically, the bonus internal winning game (RBBF) is a game in which a bonus transition combination (RBB) and a cherry (CH) are won in combination in a winning combination, and the symbol combination (red 7-red 7) of the bonus transition combination. -Transition when red 7) is not aligned on the effective line. In addition, when the symbol combination (red 7-red 7-red 7) of the bonus transition combination is aligned on the activated line in the game in which the dual winning is won, the bonus game (RBB) of the advantageous section is directly started from the next game. Move to). In the present embodiment, although the bonus internal winning game (RBBF) is set as an advantageous section, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a non- advantageous section or a predetermined standby section which is neither an advantageous section nor a non- advantageous section. .
In the present embodiment, the progress of the bonus internal winning game (RBBF) is also controlled by the bonus game control means 253. The bonus internal winning game (RBBF) can be controlled not only by the bonus game control means 253 but also as the game control means 250 by a predetermined bonus internal winning game control means (not shown). .

(Available section control means 260)
The advantageous section control means 260 controls the mode of the high probability state in the advantageous section described later with reference to FIG. 10, that is, the so-called chance zone state (CZ state).
Then, using the effect control means 320 described later, effects such as notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 are executed.
Further, the advantageous zone control means 260 performs mode control and transition in CZ of the advantageous zone. In the present embodiment, there are first to third modes in which push order navigation is notified when nine bells are won. The first mode is, for example, a mode in which there is a push order corresponding to the winning combination so that only the push order is present, and a three-choice push order navigation system in which the push order is not presented is notified. In the second mode, when a predetermined combination is won, two selection push order navigations are presented to present the push sequence of the stop switch of the first stop corresponding to the predetermined combination so that a part of the pushing sequence is known. Mode. The third mode is a mode in which a push order navigation of full navigation is presented in which the push order of the stop switches from the first stop to the third stop corresponding to the combination is presented so that all push orders can be known. The start mode of the CZ state in the advantageous section is the first mode.

Further, the advantageous section control means 260 is provided with storage means for storing information indicating a mode, and the mode is controlled by updating the information of the storage means.
Further, the advantageous section control means 260 performs ART lottery in the game in which the small winning combination is won, and controls the state of the ART when the CZ state is ended, when the ART is won.
The advantageous section control means 260 may be included in the sub control board 300 instead of the main control board 200, or may be divided into both the main control board 200 and the sub control board 300. good.

(External transmission means 270)
The external transmission means 270 transmits information indicating the status of the gaming machine 10 to a data display outside the gaming machine using the external concentrated terminal board 18.

(Transmission means 280)
The transmission means 280 is for transmitting a signal to the sub control board 300.

(Freeze effect control means 290)
The freeze effect control means 290 is for executing a freeze effect for temporarily stopping the progress of the game. Specifically, in accordance with the progress of the game controlled by the advantageous zone control means 260, the freeze effect control means 290 executes the freeze effect. During the freeze effect, the reel control means 220 may execute a rotating drum effect combining rotation, stop, reverse rotation and the like of the rotating reel 62.

(Sub control board 300)
The sub control board 300 has each means of the receiving means 310 and the presentation control means 320, as shown in FIG. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the sub control board 300 receives a signal from the main control board 200, and performs effects accompanying the progress of the game.
Specifically, the effect control means 320 outputs data defining the turning on and off of the LED to an LED drive circuit (not shown) for driving the lamp 78, and outputs a sound from the speaker 72. Output data to an audio output circuit (not shown) for the output, and video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84 Output data to

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving means 310 receives the signal from the transmitting means 280.

(Effect control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effects of the gaming machine 10 according to the gaming state shown in FIG.
Further, the effect control means 320 is a command for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 from the advantageous area control means 260 of the main control board 200 during the CZ state or the ART state in the "advantageous area" shown in FIG. When received, the effect of notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is performed.
Specifically, on the screen of the display device 84 corresponding to the position of each stop switch 50 (more specifically, the position of the rotating reel 62 corresponding to each stop switch 50), a plurality of images or videos showing pressing order (for example, “1 "2""3") is displayed to notify the pressing order. Thereafter, each time the stop switch 50 is operated, the image or video indicating the pressing order is erased (or changed into an image not showing the order) a portion corresponding to the position of the operated stop switch 50.
Further, the effect control means 320 receives the control state of each mode in the “advantage zone” from the advantageous zone control means 260, and executes an effect according to the progress of the game in each mode.

  In addition, when the effect control means 320 wins the RBB by the role lottery, the effect control means 320 executes an effect indicating transition to the bonus gaming state or an effect notifying that the RBB has won, and shifts to the bonus gaming state When it is determined, a predetermined bonus effect is executed.

(Description of the game using FIG. 8 and FIG. 9)
Next, the "game" will be described with reference to FIG.
The "game section" is managed by the main control board 200, and as shown in FIG. 8, roughly divided into "general game" and "bonus game".

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay role in each game is set to RT0 and RT1 in normal game, for example, "1 / 7.3" in RT1, and higher in RT2 than RT0 and RT1. It is set to probability. In the "bonus game", in the RBBF, the probability is set higher than usual, and the RBB is set to "0".

  The “general game” is controlled by the general game control means 251, and can be shifted from the “general game” to the “bonus game”.

  The "bonus game" is controlled by the bonus game control means 253, and is shifted by aligning the corresponding symbols after winning the bonus shift combination.

  In "Bonus game", "RBBF", which is shifted by winning a bonus shift combination (RBB), and a symbol combination (red 7-red 7-red 7) corresponding to the bonus shift combination won stop on the effective line There is "RBB" which is transitioned by being displayed.

Here, the trigger (A) to (K) of the transition in each game will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.
From RT0, when the RT1 specific symbol or the RT1 re-game symbol is aligned by the trigger (A), it shifts to RT1. From RT1, when the RT2 re-gaming pattern is aligned by the opportunity (i), it shifts to RT2. The transition from “general game” to “RT game” is transitioned to when the winning combination “special replay” or “cherry” to RT game is won at an opportunity (c).
Here, in the game in which the RT1 specific symbol is elected to nine bells (any of 9BE1 to 9BE6), a specific pushing order according to the elected nine bells (for example, in the case of 9BE1, any push other than LCR and LRC) It is a specific symbol combination (so-called, bell spill) in which the transition to RT1 is determined in advance, which will be aligned when the stop operation is performed in order). Further, in the game in which the RT1 replaying game is won by falling fall replay (any of DRP1 to DRP9), it stops in a specific pushing order (for example, pushing order other than LCR in the case of DRP1) according to the fallen fall replay. It is a specific symbol combination (symbol combination of replay role) in which the transition to RT1 is determined in advance, which will be aligned when operated.

From the “RT game” to the “ordinary game”, transition is made at the end of the 1500 game or when a specific condition is satisfied, as a trigger (d). The “RBBF” of “general game” or “RT game” is transitioned to “RBBF” of “bonus game” upon the winning of the RBB at an opportunity (O). The "bonus game""RBBF" to "RBB" is transitioned by a stop indication of the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB at the moment (f). The "bonus game" transitions to the RT0 of the "RT game" with a payout exceeding the specified number at the moment (K).
Here, in the present embodiment, when the specific condition according to the trigger (d) is established, for example, when the game in which the push order navigation of the full navigation has been notified in the game won by 9 bells is ended or When you win the fall lottery that was run after notification of the push order navigation of full navigation in the game was elected 9 bell, or, for example, when the ART game (RT game) is over, or, for example, ART game (RT When you win the fall lottery that you have run after the end of the game) is mentioned.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the main control board 200 manages an advantageous section and a non- advantageous section (sections other than the advantageous section) separately from the above-mentioned general game and bonus game. Specifically, information (for example, an advantageous section flag) indicating whether the section is an advantageous section is stored in the main control board 200. In addition, the transition from the non-advancing section to the advantageous section (for example, changing the advantageous section flag value from 0 to 1), and the transition from the advantageous section to the non-preferred section (for example, changing the advantageous section flag value from 1 to 0) It is controlled by the advantageous section control means 260.
Specifically, when winning a transition to an advantageous segment, for example, special replay (CRP) or cherries (CH) in a non-advantageous segment game (for example, RT1), the advantageous segment control means 260 selects an advantageous segment from the next game. It is controlled to shift to In addition, when the transition combination to the advantageous section is the transition combination (for example, the re-play combination with RT transition set) involved in the transition of RT gaming, the RT gaming control means 252 also controls the transition of RT gaming as well. Be done.

(Description of each state using FIG. 10)
As shown in FIG. 10, the states in the present embodiment include “normal gaming state”, “chance zone state (CZ state)”, “ART preparation state”, “ART state”, and “bonus gaming state”. is there. Here, it is assumed that the "normal game state" is a "non-favored zone", and the "chance zone state (CZ state)", the "ART state" and the "bonus game state" are "favorable zones".

(Normal gaming state)
The “normal game state” is a non-AT state, and is a state in which a transition to “chance zone state (CZ state)” is made. During the "normal game state", various lotterys, for example, a transition lottery to an advantageous section, etc., are performed along with the role lottery. The transition from the "normal gaming state" to the "chance zone state (CZ state)" is transitioned to when the winning lottery for the advantageous section executed with the winning of the rare role such as the cherry role is won in the role drawing. In addition, there is no setting difference by setting as the rare character mentioned here. Further, in the "normal game state", notification of the push order does not occur when staying in the non-favored section.

(Favorite section)
In the present embodiment, an advantageous section in which an instruction (for example, push order navigation) of stop operation information according to the stop operation order of the stop switch is permitted is provided, and at least the following description is given as the gaming state included in this advantageous section. There are "chance zone state (CZ state)", "ART preparation state", and "ART state". On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is a section that shifts from the advantageous section, and display of stop operation information (pushing order navigation) according to the stop operation order of the stop switch is not permitted (in other words, a section other than the advantageous section ) Non-advantaged section is provided.
The instruction of the stop operation information according to the stop operation order of the stop switch permitted in the advantageous section is an instruction of the stop operation information of the stop switch which is advantageous for the player (for example, the 9-bell 9BE1 wins) It is good also as a push order that the bell part of nine pieces of a delivery is put in order when it does: Display of LRC).
In the advantageous section in the present embodiment, an instruction for winning in relation to the maximum payout number (9 sheets) is to be issued at least once. Specifically, when nine bells (9BE1 to 9BE6) are won, the stop operation order (for example, LCR in the case of 9BE1) corresponding to the establishment of a combination with nine payouts (bell combination) is notified It is. However, when the game in the advantageous section reaches 1500 games, the advantageous section is ended even without the instruction of the at least one time.

(Chance zone state (CZ state))
The "chance zone state (CZ state)" is a state transitioned when winning in the transition lottery executed in response to the winning of the rare role such as the cherry role in the role lottery in the "normal game state". In the present embodiment, in the "CZ state", the ART lottery is performed in the game of each mode controlled by the advantageous zone control means 260, and when the ART lottery is won, the "ART preparation state" is entered. Do. If the ART lottery is not won, the game returns to the "normal game state". In the "CZ state", at least one notification of the pressing order occurs.
(Art preparation state)
The “ART preparation state” is a case where the game is “RT1” in FIG. 8, and in “RT1”, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 set in the promotion replay (one of URP1 to URP6) When the correct answer is made, the transition from “RT1” to “RT2 (that is, ART state)” is performed.

(ART state)
In the "ART state", when the state shifts to the "ART state", a game (ART) is started in which the pushing order of the winning combination in the winning combination is notified. It is started when the correct order of promotion replay in "art preparation state" is correct. The "ART state" ends when a predetermined number of games, for example, 50 games, are finished, and returns to the "normal game state". In addition, during the "ART state", when the bonus shift combination is established in the combination lottery, the bonus game state is entered, and after the bonus game state is ended, the state is returned to the "ART state".

(Description of the CZ state in the advantageous section of the first embodiment)
The transition opportunity of each mode of the CZ state in the "favorable section" will be described using FIG.

Transition of the mode of the advantageous section control means 260 is shown in FIG. At the time of the first nine-bell winning, since the mode at the start of the CZ state is the first mode, a push-by-one navigation of three options is notified on the screen of the display device 84. At this time, if the pressing order is correct, it is successful, and the first mode is continued. On the other hand, if the pressing order is incorrect, it will be a failure, and the navigation lottery A will be performed. In the navigation lottery A, a lottery of 3 choice navigation or 2 choice navigation is performed, the first mode is continued when the 3 choice navigation becomes a lottery result, and the 2 choice navigation becomes a lottery result Transition to the second mode.
As described above, the first mode continues when the nine bells are won, when the correct order and success are obtained in the pushing order or when the incorrect order is obtained and the pushing order is unsuccessful, 3 in the navigation lottery A It will be the case that the selection navigation becomes a lottery result.

  In the second mode, a two-choice push order navigation is notified on the screen of the display device 84. At this time, if the pressing order is correct, it becomes successful, and the second mode is continued. On the other hand, if the pressing order is incorrect, it will fail, and the navigation lottery B will be performed. In the navigation lottery B, a 2-selection navigation or a full navigation lottery is performed, and the second mode is continued when the 2-selection navigation is a lottery result, and the third mode is a full navigation when the full navigation is a lottery result Migrate to

  As described above, the second mode continues in the case of winning nine bells, in the case where the correct order and success in the pushing order or in the incorrect order and failing in the pushing order, in the navigation lottery B 2 It will be the case that the selection navigation becomes a lottery result.

  In the third mode, the push navigation by full navigation is notified on the screen of the display device 84. At this time, the CZ state ends even if the pressing order is correct or incorrect.

  In the CZ state of the present embodiment, by continuing to correct the pushing order in this manner, it is possible to continue the CZ state advantageous to the player and to advance the game, even if the CZ state is ended. By displaying the full navigation and ensuring that the payout is obtained, it is possible to reduce the sense of loss with respect to the termination of the CZ state.

(Example of game in CZ state of the first embodiment)
A specific example of the game in the CZ state of the “advantage zone” of the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 12 and 13. In the following description, it is assumed that the gaming state is the state of RT1 and the AT lottery is the ART (AT + RT) lottery. “Rip winning” in FIGS. 12 and 13 indicates “common replay winning”.
First, with reference to FIG. 12, the flow of the game in the case where the pushing order is correct and the correct answer is continued and the "maintaining the mode" is continued will be described.

  FIG. 12 is an example of a case where the pushing order is successfully assigned in the 101st game to the 108th game after the transition from the “non-favored zone” to the “favored zone”.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the start switch 40 is turned on, the game is started and a lottery is performed. In the 101 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 102 game, 9 bells (9BE1) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since it is the first mode in the CZ state, three selection push order navigation (for example, display of “? ····”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 102 games, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 makes the correct order of pressing, and the continuation of the first mode succeeds. Next, in the 103 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 104 game, 9 bells (9BE2) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 104 game, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 makes the correct order of pressing, and the continuation of the first mode succeeds. Next, in the 105th game, the player loses the role lottery, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in 106 games, a cherry is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 107 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 108 games, 9 bells (9BE3) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 108 games, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 makes the correct pressing order, and the continuation of the first mode succeeds. As described above, when the correct order is continued, the first mode is continued, and the game can be progressed in an advantageous state without the CZ state ending.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the flow of the game in the case where the pushing order and the wrong answer continue to be made will be described.

  FIG. 13 is an example of a case where pressing order failure has failed in the 101st game to the 110th game after the transition from the “non-favored zone” to the “favored zone”.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the start switch 40 is turned on, the game is started and a lottery is performed. In the 101 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 102 game, 9 bells (9BE2) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since it is the first mode in the CZ state, three selection push order navigation (for example, display of “? ····”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 102 games, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 causes an incorrect answer in the order of pressing, and a lottery of three or two choices is performed by the navigation lottery A. In the 102 games, as a result of the navi lottery A, 3 options are selected, and the continuation of the first mode succeeds. Next, in the 103 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 104 game, 9 bells (9BE2) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the 104 game, since it is the first mode of the CZ state, the push selection navigation of 3 options is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 104 game, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 causes an incorrect answer in the order of pressing, and a lottery of three or two choices is performed by the navigation lottery A. In the 104 games, as a result of the navi lottery A, 2 options are selected, and the continuation of the first mode has failed, and the mode shifts to the second mode.

  Next, in the 105 game, a cherry is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 106th game, 9 bells (9BE5) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since it is the second mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push-through navigation with two choices (for example, “3 ····· display”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 106 games, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 causes an incorrect answer in the pressing order, and a lottery of 2 choices or full navigation is performed by the navigation lottery B. In the 106 games, as a result of the navi lottery B, 2 options are selected, and the continuation of the second mode succeeds. Next, in the 107th game, the player is out of the role lottery, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 108 games, 9 bells (9 BE 6) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, the second choice push order navigation is notified on the screen of the display device 84 since it is the second mode of the CZ state. In the 108 games, the player's operation of the stop switch 50 causes an incorrect answer in the order of pressing, and a lottery of 2 options or full navigation is performed by the navigation lottery B. In the 108 games, as a result of the navigation lottery B, full navigation is selected, and the continuation of the second mode has failed, and the mode is shifted to the third mode. Next, in the 109 game, replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 110 game, 9 bells (9BE3) are won, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the 110 game, since it is the third mode of the CZ state, full navigation (for example, display of “2 · 1 · 3”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 110 games, the CZ state is ended no matter what the operation is. After 111 games, in the 101 to 110 games, if the ART is won, the advantageous section continues to transition to ART, and if the ART is not won, the non-advantaged section is shifted.

(Description of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 14)
A general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S10, the main control board 200 determines whether the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, when it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the bet number. Then, it progresses to following step S11. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  In addition, the bet number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this bet number setting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined bet number has been set as the bet number. Specifically, it is determined by the main control board 200 whether or not the number of medals set as the bet number of the game has reached a prescribed bet number (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery process is performed by the role lottery means 210. Further, at this time, information that can specify the result of the part lottery and the pressing order corresponding to the result of the part lottery is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the role lottery process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S12. The information that can specify the pushing order corresponding to the result of the lottery may be transmitted when notification of the pushing order is required, or may be transmitted separately from the result of the drawing.

  In step S12, rotation fluctuation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. When the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating reel 62 being rotated is operated by the main control board 200 after the rotating reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, the reel control means 220 controls the rotation of each reel 62. The rotation is stopped. The pushing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed on the main control board 200. It is read out in the subsequent processing.

In addition, after completion of all the stop operations, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission means 280 of the main control board 200 to the reception means 310 of the sub control board 300. Then, when the rotation fluctuation process of all the rotating reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a process of determining whether or not the combination of the symbols 61 of the predetermined combination is uniform with the combination of the symbols 61 on the activated line 86. Here, data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the determination process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control unit 240 performs payout processing and the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination unit 230. In addition, as a result of determination, when the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Description of mode control in CZ state using FIG. 15)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, an example of mode control of the CZ state performed by the advantageous zone control means 260 of the present embodiment will be described.
In step S20, the mode of the CZ state is set to the first mode along with the transition from the "non-favored zone" to the "favorable zone".
In step S21, in the first mode, when 9 bells are won, a 3 choice push order navigation is displayed.
In step S22, it is determined whether or not the correct pressing of the three choices has been made. If it is determined that the pressing order is correct, the continuation of the first mode is determined to be successful, and the process proceeds to step S21. If it is not determined that the pressing order is correct, the process proceeds to the next step S23.

  In step S23, a lottery of three or two choices is performed by the navigation lottery A. If the third option is selected, the process proceeds to step S21, assuming that the continuation of the first mode is successful. If the second option is selected, the process proceeds to step S24, assuming that the continuation of the first mode has failed.

In step S24, the mode in the CZ state is set to the second mode.
In step S25, in the second mode, when 9 bells are won, a 2 choice push order navigation is displayed.
In step S26, it is determined whether or not the correct answer in the 2nd choice is made. If it is determined that the pressing order is correct, it is determined that the second mode has been continued successfully, and the process proceeds to step S25. If it is not determined that the pressing order is correct, the process proceeds to the next step S27.

  In step S27, a lottery of 2 options or full navigation is performed by the navigation lottery B. If the second option is selected, the process proceeds to step S25 on the assumption that the continuation of the second mode is successful. If the second option is selected, it is determined that the continuation of the second mode has failed, and the process proceeds to step S28.

In step S28, the mode in the CZ state is set to the third mode.
In step S29, in the third mode, when 9 bells are won, the full navigation is displayed, and when the game in which the full navigation is displayed is finished, the CZ state is ended.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In this embodiment, the transition trigger of each mode in the CZ state is set as success in maintaining the advantageous mode in the case of incorrect answer in push order, and failure in maintaining the advantageous mode in case of correct push order in the push order. . Further, in the present embodiment, the mode to be transitioned is determined depending on whether or not the first stop and the second stop in the pushing order are correct, without using the lottery navigation for maintaining and shifting the mode. Thus, this embodiment does not adopt a mechanism in which an advantageous mode is maintained because correct answers are made in the push order, but conversely, an advantageous mode in the case of an incorrect answer in the push order in which no payout can be obtained. It is possible to give a taste to the strategy of the player for the game by expanding the range of interest of the game.
Hereinafter, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

(Description of the CZ state in the advantageous section of the second embodiment)
The transition opportunity of each mode of the CZ state in the "favorable section" will be described using FIG.

  Transition of the mode of the advantageous section control means 260 is shown in FIG. At the start of the CZ state, since it is the first mode, in the game of the first mode, when the 6-choice 9-sheet bell is won, the 3-choice push-order navigation is notified on the screen of the display device 84 . When the pushing order of the first stop in the game of the first mode is incorrect, the first mode is successfully maintained and the first mode is maintained. On the other hand, if the first stop of the pushing order is correct, maintenance of the first mode fails. In the case of an incorrect answer in the pressing order of the second stop, the pressing order of the second stop becomes success for the second stopping, and the mode is shifted to the second mode by the trigger (A). It becomes a mode. Also, in the case of the correct answer in the pressing order of the second stop, the second stop fails, and at the moment (c), the mode is shifted to the third mode, and the mode is the full navigation mode.

  In the second mode, a two-choice push order navigation is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the game of the second mode, when the first stop is incorrect in the pushing order of the two options, the second mode is successfully maintained and the second mode is maintained. On the other hand, when the first stop in the push order of 2 options is correct, the continuation of the mode fails, and the mode is shifted to the third mode by the trigger (i), and the mode of full navigation is set.

  In addition, in the first to third modes of game, when an winning combination or a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and when the CZ state is ended, the state is shifted to the ART state by an opportunity (D).

(Example of game in CZ state of the second embodiment)
A specific example of the game in the CZ state of the “advantage zone” of the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 17 to 19. In addition, when the player is involved in the mode while in the CZ state, battle effect is executed by the effect control means 320, and a battle scene corresponding to the progress of the game is displayed on the screen of the display device 84.

  First, with reference to FIG. 17, the flow of the game in the case where the pushing order and the incorrect answer continue and "success" continues to be maintained in the mode will be described. FIG. 17 illustrates an example of the 101st game to the 105th game after the transition from the “non-favored zone” to the “favored zone”. From 101 games to 105 games are from 1 game to 5 games from the start of the advantageous section.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the start switch 40 is turned on, the game is started and a lottery is performed. In the 101 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 102 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE3), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since it is the first mode in the CZ state, three selection push order navigation (for example, display of “? ····”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 102 games, CLR (middle, left, right) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 102 game, in the first stop, the left stop switch L is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, and the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, and the first mode is successfully maintained. It will be 3 choices in the 9 bell winning game of. In addition, in the battle effect of the 102 games, when the start switch 40 is turned on and nine bells are won, an effect that encounters the enemy is displayed, and the stop switch of the first stop is pressed, and the pressing order becomes incorrect. If maintenance of mode 1 succeeds, an effect for avoiding the enemy's attack is displayed, and if the stop switch for the second stop is pressed, an effect for the allies to attack is displayed, and if the third stop stop switch is pressed, the ally wins. The effect of is displayed.

  Next, in the 103 game, the player loses the role lottery, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 104 game, the player selects 9 bells (9 BE 6) for 6 choices, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 104 games, RCL (right, middle, left) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 104 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, and the first mode is successfully maintained. Also in the Bell winning game of 3 will be three choices. Also, the same battle effect as that of the above-mentioned 102 games is executed.

  Next, in the 105 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE2), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 105 games, LRC (left, right, middle) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 105 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, and the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, and the first mode is successfully maintained. Also in the Bell winning game of 3 will be three choices. Also, the same battle effect as that of the above-mentioned 102 games is executed. Also in the subsequent games, the first mode continues if an incorrect answer continues in the order of pushing the three choices.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the flow of the game will be described in the case where the pushing order is determined to be the correct answer and the “maintenance” of the mode continues to be “failed”. FIG. 18 illustrates an example of the 101st game to the 104th game after the transition from the “non-favored zone” to the “favored zone”.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the start switch 40 is turned on, the game is started and a lottery is performed. In the 101 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 102 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE3), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 102 games, CLR (middle, left, right) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 102 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, the pressing order of the first stop is correct, and the first mode fails to be maintained. At the stage of failure to maintain the mode, freeze effect is performed by the freeze effect control 290 in the progress of the game. The freeze effect is to notify that there is a possibility that the CZ state may be ended by transitioning to the third mode if the next second stop fails. Subsequently, in the second stop, when the left stop switch L is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, it becomes correct in the pressing order of the second stop, and maintenance of the subsequent second mode also fails. Migration is finalized. In addition, in the battle effect of the 102 games, when the start switch 40 is turned on and 9 bells are won, an effect to encounter the enemy is displayed, and the stop switch of the first stop is pressed, and the pressing order becomes correct. If it fails to maintain the mode, the effect that the enemy attack hits is displayed, and the pinch effect is displayed together with the freeze effect. Subsequently, if the stop switch for the second stop is pressed and the correct order is reached and the transition to the second mode is also unsuccessful, the effect that the enemy attack hits is displayed, and if the third stop stop switch is pressed, the enemy An instruction to escape from is displayed.

  Next, in the 103 game, a cherry is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 104 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE3) and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since the third mode of the CZ state is set, full navigation (for example, display of “2 · 1 · 3”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 104 games, the CZ state is ended no matter what the operation is. In the battle effect of the game, when the third stop is pressed, an effect in which the enemy who suggests that the CZ state is ended is won is displayed. After 104 games, in the 101 to 104 games, if the ART is won, the advantageous section continues to transition to ART, and if the ART is not won, the non-advantaged section is shifted.

  Next, using FIG. 19, the first stop of the pushing order is correctly answered, and “maintenance” of the first mode is “failed”, and the second stop is incorrect, and the transition to the second mode is “ The flow of the game when "successful" will be described. FIG. 19 illustrates an example of 101 games to 105 games after the transition from the “non-favored zone” to the “favored zone”.

  As shown in FIG. 19, when the start switch 40 is turned on, the game is started and a lottery is performed. In the 101 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 102 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE3), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 102 games, CLR (middle, left, right) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 102 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, the pressing order of the first stop is correct, and the first mode fails to be maintained. At the stage where the maintenance of the first mode fails, the freeze effect is performed by the freeze effect control 290 in the progress of the game. Subsequently, in the second stop, when the right stop switch R is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 of the player, the pressing order of the second stop is incorrect, and the second mode is successfully maintained, and the next nine sheets Bell winning games are two options. In addition, in the battle effect of the 102 games, when the switch is turned on and 9 bells are won, an effect that encounters the enemy is displayed, and the stop switch of the first stop is pressed, and the pressing order becomes correct. If maintenance of the mode fails, an effect in which the enemy attack hits is displayed, and a pinch effect is displayed together with the freeze effect. Subsequently, the stop switch of the second stop is pressed and the pressing order becomes incorrect. When the transition to the second mode is successful, an effect for avoiding the attack of the enemy is displayed, and when the third stop stop switch is pressed, the enemy You will see the effect of the escape.

  Next, in the 103 game, a cherry is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 104 game, the player selects 9 bells (9 BE 6) for 6 choices, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since it is the second mode of the CZ state, the pushing order of two choices (for example, the display of “3 ····”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 104 games, RCL (right, middle, left) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 104 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, and the second mode is successfully maintained. It becomes 2 choices also in the game of 9 bell elections of. Further, in the battle effect of the 104 games, the stop switch of the first stop is pressed and the pressing order becomes incorrect, and since the continuation of the second mode is successful, the effect of avoiding the attack of the enemy is displayed.

  Next, in the 105 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE1), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the 105 game, since it is the second mode of the CZ state, the pushing order of 2 choices (for example, the display of “? ··· 3”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 105 games, LCR (left, middle, right) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 105 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, and the second mode is successfully maintained. It becomes 2 choices also in the game of 9 bell elections of. Also in the subsequent games, the second mode continues by continuing to become incorrect in the order of pushing the two choices.

(Description of mode control in CZ state using FIG. 20)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 20, an example of mode control of the CZ state performed by the advantageous zone control means 260 of the present embodiment will be described.
In step S40, the mode of the CZ state is set to the first mode along with the transition from the "non-favored zone" to the "favorable zone".
In step S41, in the first mode, when 9 bells are won, a 3 choice push order navigation is displayed.
In step S42, in the push order of 3 options, the first stop is incorrect and the maintenance of the first mode is successful, or the first stop is correct and the second stop is incorrect and the transition to the second mode It is determined whether or not both the first stop and the second stop are correct and transition to the third mode has been made. If the maintenance of the first mode is successful, the process proceeds to step S41. If it is determined that the mode is transition to the second mode, the process proceeds to step S43. If it is determined that the mode is shifted to the third mode, the process proceeds to step S46.

In step S43, the mode in the CZ state is set to the second mode.
In step S44, when 9 bells are won in the second mode, a push selection navigation of 2 options is displayed.
In step S45, it is determined whether the first stop is incorrect and the maintenance of the second mode is successful or the first stop is correct and the transition to the third mode is made in the push order of two options. If the second mode is successfully maintained, the process proceeds to step S44. If it is determined that the mode is shifted to the third mode, the process proceeds to step S46.

In step S46, the mode in the CZ state is set to the third mode.
In step S47, when 9 bells are won in the second mode, the full navigation is displayed, and when the game displaying the full navigation is finished, the CZ state is ended.

(Modification of the second embodiment)
Next, a modification of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the modified example, even if the first stop of the pushing order is correctly answered and it becomes "failure", if the second stop is incorrect and it is "successful", the three choices of the first mode are maintained. Be done. However, once the game in the case of the first mode of "failed" will be the first mode that only the success of the first stop is acceptable, correct to the first stop in the push order of 3 options, "failed" When it becomes, it shifts to the third mode. FIG. 21 illustrates an example of 101 games to 105 games after the transition from the “non-favored zone” to the “favored zone”.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the start switch 40 is turned on, the game is started and a lottery is performed. In the 101 game, a replay is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 102 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE3), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, since the game is in the first mode of the CZ state in the game of the game, a push navigation with three choices is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 102 games, CLR (middle, left, right) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 102 game, in the first stop, the middle stop switch C is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, and the pressing order of the first stop becomes the correct answer, failing to maintain the normal first mode . At the stage where the maintenance of the normal first mode fails, the freeze effect is performed by the freeze effect control 290 in the progress of the game. Subsequently, in the second stop, when the right stop switch R is pressed by the operation of the stop switch 50 by the player, the pressing order of the second stop is incorrect, and the first mode in which only the success of the first stop is permitted is maintained. The next nine Bell winning games will be three choices. In addition, in the battle effect of the 102 games, when the start switch 40 is turned on and 9 bells are won, an effect to encounter the enemy is displayed, and the stop switch of the first stop is pressed, and the pressing order becomes correct. If it fails to maintain the mode, the effect that the enemy attack hits is displayed, and the pinch effect is displayed together with the freeze effect. Subsequently, the stop switch of the second stop is pressed, and the pressing order becomes incorrect. When the first mode in which only the success of the first stop is permitted succeeds, an effect for avoiding the attack of the enemy is displayed, and the third Stop Press the stop switch to display the effect that the enemy will escape.

  Next, in the 103 game, a cherry is won, an ART lottery is performed, and as a result of the game, the advantageous section continues. Next, in the 104 game, the player selects 9 bells (9 BE 6) for 6 choices, and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since only the success of the first stop of the CZ state is permitted, this is the first mode in which the push order of two choices (for example, the display of "?????" is displayed. It is reported on the screen of the device 84. In the 104 games, RCL (right, middle, left) is the pressing order of the correct answer. In the 104 game, the right stop switch R is pressed by the player's operation of the stop switch 50 in the first stop, and it becomes correct in the pressing order of the first stop and fails in the first stop. The display of push order navigation after 1 stop is full navigation (change from “? ·? ·?” To “3 · 2 · ●”). Further, in the battle effect of the 104 games, the stop switch of the first stop is pressed and the pressing order becomes incorrect, and since the continuation of the second mode is successful, the effect of avoiding the attack of the enemy is displayed.

  Next, in the 105 game, the player wins a 6-chord 9-bell (9BE1), and an ART lottery is performed. At this time, in the game of the game, since the third mode is the CZ state, full navigation (for example, display of “1 · 2 · 3”) is notified on the screen of the display device 84. In the 105 games, the CZ state is ended regardless of the operation. After 105 games, in the 101 to 105 games, if the ART is won, the advantageous section continues to transition to ART, and if the ART is not won, the non-advantaged section is shifted.

(Supplementary Description of the Embodiment)
The first and second embodiments include feature points including the following technical ideas.
(1) Feature point 1
(1-1) Configuration A gaming machine according to the present invention comprises a first game and a second game which is executed over a predetermined game section and is more advantageous to the player than the first game, and the second game is The first mode informing the player only that there is a result according to the operation mode, the second mode informing the player a part of the operation mode, and the player informing all the operation modes A plurality of modes with a third mode is provided, and the advantageous zone control means causes the mode in the second game to be started from the first mode, and the first mode and the mode among the plurality of modes. In the second mode, when a predetermined specific winning combination is won, the mode is continued based on the operation mode of the player or shifts to any mode different from the mode. The third mode among the plurality of modes The second game is ended by playing the game in the second game.

(1-2) Correspondence between the definition of terms and the embodiment Here, the “first game” includes, for example, an ART state that is advantageous for the player compared to the normal state and the normal state. It is not limited.

  Also, the “second game” includes, for example, a high probability state (so-called chance zone (CZ), assist time (AT) state) in which the probability of transitioning to the ART state is set higher than that in the normal state. Not limited to this.

  Further, in the "first mode", only in the second game, it is informed that there is a pushing order. For example, when a predetermined combination is won, a push order corresponding to the predetermined combination is present, and a so-called three-choice navigation is not notified.

  Also, the "second mode" is informed in the second game so that a part of the pushing order is known. For example, when the predetermined combination is won, a so-called two-choice navi is presented in which the pressing order of the stop switch of the first stop corresponding to the predetermined combination is presented.

  In the "third mode", notification is made so that all of the pushing order can be known in the second game.
