The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate 80 times per minute and change the symbol of 80 x 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel) = 1680 frames, so that a maximum of 4 frames can be drawn in 190 ms. You will be able to do it. That is, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols up to 4 frames ahead of the stops, for a total of 5 frames.

Therefore, for example, when any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated, when the symbol displayed at the bottom of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol is up to 4 frames ahead. Since the symbol can be displayed in the lower row, the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch when any of the stop switches 8L and 8R is operated in each of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R. Designs arranged within 5 frames including the above can be displayed on the winning line.

The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data such as 8-bit random numbers and 16-bit random numbers, which are random number values having a predetermined update range. In this embodiment, the hardware random numbers generated by the 16-bit random number circuit 508b among the random number circuits 508a and 508b are used as a random number for an internal lottery described later, a random number for a freeze lottery described later, and a random number for a success count lottery described later. Used. The CPU 41a is used for a game by processing or updating various numerical data by software using a random counter different from the random numbers circuits 508a and 508b based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuits 508a and 508b. Numerical data indicating all or part of the random number value may be counted. Alternatively, the CPU 41a may count (update) a part of numerical data indicating a random number value such as a big hit determination random number by software without using the random number circuits 508a and 508b. As an example, by processing the numerical data extracted by the CPU 41a from the random number circuits 508a and 508b that are hardware by software, the numerical data indicating the random number for internal lottery is updated, and other random number values (for example, described later). The numerical data indicating the random number for the freeze lottery to be performed, the random number for the success count lottery described later, etc.) may be updated by the CPU 41a by software using a random counter or the like.

The timer circuit 509 is an 8-bit programmable timer, and the main control unit 41 includes three channels of 8-bit counters as the timer circuit 509. In this embodiment, it is possible to perform real-time interrupt request and time measurement by setting by a user program using the timer circuit 509.

The interrupt controller 510 is a circuit that controls an external interrupt request from the PI5 / XINT terminal and an interrupt request from a built-in peripheral circuit (for example, serial communication circuit 512, random number circuits 508a, 508b, timer circuit 509).

The parallel input port 511 incorporates an 8-bit wide input-only port (PIP). Further, the parallel output port 513 included in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 has a built-in 11-bit wide output dedicated port (POP).

The serial communication circuit 512 is a circuit that performs asynchronous serial communication in input / output to the outside. The main control unit 41 includes a 1-channel circuit for both transmission and reception and a 3-channel circuit for transmission only as the serial communication circuit 512.

The address decoding circuit 514 is a circuit for decoding each functional block inside the main control unit 41 and decoding a chip select signal which is a decoding signal for an external device. The chip select signal enables the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or an external device as a peripheral device to be selectively and effectively operated to be accessed from the CPU 41a.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. The command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and the command is not sent from the sub control unit 91 to the main control unit 41. Further, in this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but the command is transmitted via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be used.

Further, the main control unit 41 inputs the detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. Then, the main control unit 41 executes a basic process of gradually shifting according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input ports 511.

Further, the main control unit 41 can interrupt the basic process and execute the interrupt process when the interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, the timer interrupt process (main) described later is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

Further, the main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, priority is given according to a predetermined order. The interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process ends, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

As a basic process, the main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes, and responds to the change in the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process of gradual migration. Further, the main control unit 41 executes the timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). The execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to be longer than the total time of the time in which the process repeated according to the control state in the basic process completes and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). This means that the process of repeating the timer interrupt process (main) between this time and the next time according to the control state always completes at least one cycle.

An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

The effect control board 90 is connected to an effect device such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. , These effect devices are driven based on the control by the sub control unit 91, which will be described later, mounted on the effect control board 90.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53, 54, and the reel LED 55. However, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board separately from the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output pattern of the effect device may be determined, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be used. The output control of the production device is performed by both units.

Further, in this embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53, 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, and for example, a mechanically driven display is used. A device or a mechanically driven role object may be applied as a directing device.

The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer provided with a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and is a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 90 and the sub control unit 91 that controls the effect. From the display control circuit 92 that controls the display of 51, the effect LED 52, the LED drive circuit 93 that controls the drive of the reel LED 55, the audio output circuit 94 that controls the audio output from the speakers 53, 54, when the power is turned on, or from the sub CPU 91a. Reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command is not input for a certain period of time, switch detection circuit 96 that detects the detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, and date information. The clock device 97 that outputs time information including time information and the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 are monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a voltage drop signal indicating that effect is output to the sub CPU 91a. A power failure detection circuit 98, other circuits, and the like are mounted, and the sub CPU 91a receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40 to perform various controls for performing the effect, and the effect control board 90. It directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the.

In the game control board 40, the reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41, and the sub control unit 91 controls the main control when the power is turned on. It is designed to start at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power failure detection circuit 98 is set to have a lower voltage for outputting the voltage drop signal than the power failure detection circuit 48 for outputting the voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40, and is set to have a lower voltage when the power is cut. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a stage later than that of the main control unit 41, and performs a power failure process (sub) described later.

Like the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. , Executes command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 generates an interrupt every time the number of input of the system clock reaches a certain number, that is, at regular intervals, and executes a timer interrupt process (sub) described later.

Further, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process when an interrupt occurs based on the reception of a command, even if the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and even if the interrupt that triggers the timer interrupt process (sub) occurs at the same time, the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority.

Further, the backup power supply is also supplied to the sub control unit 91 at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power supply is supplied.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. More specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery, the navigation stock lottery, etc., which will be described later. The set value is composed of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is.

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

Further, in order to confirm the set value, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on after the game is finished and the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value display 24 displays the setting value read from the RAM 41c, so that the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the progress of the game is impossible, and by turning off the setting key switch 37, the setting confirmation state ends and the game returns to the state in which the progress is possible.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power failure process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), the register is saved in the stack of the RAM 41c described later, and the destruction diagnosis data (5AH in this embodiment) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored. In addition to storing the data, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c becomes 0, and the data is stored in the RAM 41c. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (in this embodiment, all areas) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c is 1. For example, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

Then, the main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c at the time of startup regardless of whether it is due to the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the destruction diagnosis data. The processing state of the main control unit 41 is returned to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, provided that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the destruction diagnosis data is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (1) or the value of the data for failure diagnosis is incorrect, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM error error code is set in the register to control the RAM error error state. However, it is designed to disable the progress of the game. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new setting value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until it is released.

In this embodiment, when all the data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power supply even during a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. The configuration is such that the control state before the power failure is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, but only the data stored in the RAM 41c that is necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before the power failure based on the data backed up at that time.

Further, when returning to the control state before the power failure when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power failure, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player. It is not necessary to restore all the states of the input port to the state before the power failure, for example.

Further, the sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt processing (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, the power is transmitted. Execute the disconnection process (sub). In the power interruption process (sub), the register is saved in the stack of the RAM 91c, which will be described later, and the destruction diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and the data is based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity becomes 0, and the process of storing the data in the RAM 91c is performed.

Then, the sub-control unit 91 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 91c at the time of its activation, confirms the value of the destruction diagnosis data, and the RAM parity is 0 and The processing state of the sub-control unit 91 is restored to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, provided that the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is also correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (1). In the case) or when the value of the destruction diagnosis data is incorrect, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the execution of the effect is not disabled.

Further, even if it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of its activation, the sub control unit 91 is activated when it receives a setting command described later indicating that the setting has been changed from the main control unit 41. The RAM 91c is initialized even when neither the return command nor the setting command, which will be described later, indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been restored is received even after a certain period of time has elapsed. In this case as well, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the execution of the effect is not disabled.

In this embodiment, when all the data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power supply even during a power failure, and the sub-control unit 91 determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. The configuration is such that the control state before the power failure is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, but only the data stored in the RAM 91c that is necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before the power failure based on the data backed up at that time.

Further, when returning to the control state before the power failure when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power failure, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player. It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port and the progress of the production when the production is interrupted to the state before the power failure.

Next, the initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a non-preserved work, a general work, a special work, an unused area, and a stack area.

The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to initialize, such as display data for various indicators and LEDs, I / O input / output data, and a game time timing counter, is stored. The non-preserved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and the value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of startup. The general work is a work in which data that can be initialized at a certain trigger (for example, at the end of RT3) such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, and the number of medals to be paid out is stored. The special work is a work in which data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the start of setting is stored. The unused area is an unused area of the storage area of the RAM 41c, and will be initialized if any one of the plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which the data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the stack area in use will not be initialized because the program continues.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 displays the data of the RAM 41c when the setting key switch 37 is started when the setting key switch 37 is on, when a RAM abnormality error occurs, when RT3 is terminated, and when the setting key switch 37 is started when the setting key switch 37 is off. When it is not destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initialization with different areas to be initialized are performed according to each initialization condition.

The initialization 1 is an initialization performed before the setting key switch 37 is in the on state at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change state, or an initialization performed when a RAM error error occurs. Then, in the storage area of the RAM 41c, all the areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area is initialized. To. The initialization 2 is an initialization performed at the end of RT3. In the initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area, that is, the area from the general work to the unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c is used. It is initialized. The initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is in the off state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the unused area are not destroyed. The used stack area is initialized. The initialization 4 is an initialization performed at the end of one game. In the initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the transition of the setting change state, but it is performed at the end of the setting change state, before the transition of the setting change state, and at the end of the setting change state. Is also good.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, a specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (3 in any gaming state in this embodiment) is determined, and is determined according to the gaming state. It is possible to start the game on the condition that the specified number of bets is set. In this embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a predetermined number of bets are set according to the gaming state.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the winning lines that are activated when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped (in the case of this embodiment, all winning lines are always activated, so in the following, , The activated winning line is simply called the winning line). If the combination of symbols called roles is aligned, the winning will be won. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The types of winning roles are determined according to the game status, but they can be broadly divided into small roles that involve paying out medals and re-starting the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There is a game role and a special role with a transition to a game state that is advantageous to the player. In the following, the small role and the replay role are collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery described later and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c.

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

Further, in this embodiment, among the above-mentioned roles, the special role is not provided, and only the small role and the replaying role are subject to the internal lottery and winning, but the special role is provided and the special role is included in the internal lottery and winning. It may be the target configuration of.

Hereinafter, the internal lottery of this embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is decided whether or not to allow the winning of each of the above-mentioned combinations before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). Is what you do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set in the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. Then, for each combination determined according to the game state (RT type), the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current game state (RT type), the number of bets, and the set value are determined. It is performed according to the number of judgment values of each combination.

In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined according to the winning combination, the current game state (current RT type), and the set value to be the target of the internal lottery is stored in the random number value for the internal lottery (lottery work). The numerical data) is sequentially added, and when the result of the addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. Therefore, the winning combination is won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the magnitude of the number of determination values.

Then, when the winning of any of the winning combinations is determined, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work is composed of a 2-byte storage area, in which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storage work in which the winning flag of the special combination is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general combination. It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when the special role is won, the winning flag of the special role indicating that the special role has been won is set in the special role storage work, and the winning flag set in the general role storage work is cleared. In addition, when the general role is won, the winning flag of the general role indicating that the general role has been won is set in the general role storage work. If neither combination nor combination of roles is won, only the general combination storage work is cleared.

In this embodiment, since the configuration does not have a special combination, only the general combination storage work among the internal winning flag storage works is used.

Further, in this embodiment, the number of judgment values, which is the number of judgment values determined to be won, is determined for each lottery target combination, and the number of determination values is sequentially added (subtracted) to the random number value for each lottery target combination. , In the case of overflow, the winning of the winning combination corresponding to the number of judgment values is determined. However, the range of the random number value to be determined to be won is defined for each winning combination, and the range to which the random number value belongs is supported. It may be configured to determine the winning of the winning combination.

Next, the stop control of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R will be described.

The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating remains. , Create a stop control table for each spinning reel. Then, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected among the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to, and the referenced stop control table is slipped. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.

The table index is an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the table creation data is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by the internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state). The difference up to the address where the data is stored is registered. As a result, it is possible to acquire the difference according to the internal winning state and to acquire the corresponding index data by adding the difference to the reference address. Even if the winning status of the winning combination is different, the same address is stored as index data when the same control is applied. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Therefore, the stop control table will be created.

The table creation data includes a stop control table showing the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, left, It may differ depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left or right reel is stopped, the middle or right reel is stopped, and if any of the reels is stopped, it is stopped. Since it may differ depending on the stop position of the finished reel, the address of the stop control table to be referred to is registered for each rotating reel for each situation, and each is based on the start address of the table creation data. The address of the stop control table to be referred to can be specified according to the situation of, and the necessary stop control table can be specified according to each situation from the specified address. Even if the reel stop status and the stop position of the stopped reel are different, if the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table will be referred to.

The stop control table is data that can specify the number of slip frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one revolution in a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, by driving the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one revolution. Twenty-one regions (frames) divided into 16 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) are defined for one round of the reel, and these regions are regions 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. Numbers are assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is also 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 are assigned to the symbols of each reel from the reel reference position, so that the symbols 0 to 20 are assigned. , 0 to 20 area numbers are assigned in order. Then, the number of sliding frames for each area number is compressed and stored in the stop control table according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding frames for each area number can be obtained by expanding the stop control table. There is.

In the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data as described above, the area corresponding to each area number corresponds to the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at the timing (the timing when the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each area number) located in the lower symbol area) It is a table in which the numbers are set respectively.

Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the start address of the table creation data according to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, first, the table index is referred to, the index data corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, the table creation data is specified based on the acquired index data, and all reels are selected from the specified table creation data. Acquires the address of the stop control table of each reel corresponding to the rotating state, expands the stop control table of each reel stored in the acquired address, and creates a stop control table for all the reels.

In addition, when any one reel stops, or when any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the start address of the table creation data according to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is specified based on the specified table creation data, and the address of the stop control table of the stopped reel and the unstopped reel corresponding to the area number of the stop position of the reel is acquired from the specified table creation data, and the acquired address is used. Expand the stop control table for each stored reel to create a stop control table for unstopped reels.

Next, regarding the control when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, and causes the corresponding reel to derive the display result. Explaining, when the operation corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected among the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected. The area number of the specified stop operation is specified, the stop control table of the reel in which the stop operation is detected is referred to, and the number of sliding frames corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to pulling in and stopping is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number corresponding to the stop position several minutes ahead of the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop at the area of the lower symbol).

In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type), and further, one table creation data contains. , Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status of one reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type) and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are uniquely defined. The stop control table created with reference to these is also unique to one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when the game state (RT type), the internal winning state, and the reel stop state (and the stop position of the stopped reel) all have the same conditions, the same stop control table, that is, the same control The reel stop control is performed based on the pattern.

Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is set as the number of sliding frames, and it is possible to pull in a maximum of 4 symbols to stop the reel after detecting the stop operation. That is, the stop position of the symbol can be specified from a range of up to 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. Further, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to pull in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation to stop the reel, and stop when the stop operation is detected. It is possible to specify the stop position of a symbol from a range of up to 5 symbols including the operation position.

In this embodiment, if any of the winning combinations is won, the winning winning combination is pulled into the winning line as much as possible within a range of 4 frames, and the winning winning combination is pulled in so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a fixed number of frames is created to control the stop of the reels, but if none of the winning combinations are won, the stop control table with a fixed number of sliding frames is not available. Is created and the reel stop control is performed. As a result, when the stop operation is performed, if the winning combinations can be aligned and stopped on the winning line within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed to align and stop the winning combination. The winning combination is controlled to be stopped without being aligned within the pull-in range of a maximum of 4 frames.

In this embodiment, the configuration does not have a special role, but in the configuration with a special role, the special role and the small role are small, such as when the small role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game. If the winning combinations are won at the same time, the number of sliding frames is set so that the winning small winning combination is drawn to the winning line as much as possible within the range of 4 frames, and the winning small winning combination is set to the winning line up to 4 frames. For the stop operation position that cannot be pulled in within the range of frames, create a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is set so that the winning special combination is drawn to the winning line as much as possible within the range of 4 frames, and stop control of the reel. You just have to do. As a result, when the stop operation is performed, if the winning small wins can be aligned and stopped on the winning line within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames, control is performed to align and stop the winning combination. If the small winning combination with a maximum of 4 frames can not be drawn on the line, if the special winning combination with a maximum of 4 frames can be drawn on the winning line and stopped. Control is performed to align and stop the winning combination, and control is performed to stop the winning combination without aligning it within the pull-in range of 4 frames. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the small winning combination on the winning line is prioritized over the special winning combination, and the special winning combination can be won only when the small winning combination cannot be drawn in. If the special role and the small role can be drawn in at the same time, only the small role will be drawn in, and the small role will not be aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special role.

In addition, when a special role and a small role are won at the same time, the control to align the special role on the winning line is prioritized over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn in, the small role is placed on the winning line. Alignment control may be performed.

In addition, in the configuration with a special role, if the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, such as when the special role is carried over from before the previous game and the re-game combination is won, the stop operation is performed. When the game is played, the control may be performed so that the symbols of the re-game combination are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a pull-in range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-game combination or the symbols constituting the re-game combination to be elected at the same time are arranged within 5 symbols, that is, within 4 frames for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the pull-in range of 4 frames, if the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. Instead, all the re-game roles will be awarded. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the re-game combination on the winning line is prioritized over the special combination, and the re-game combination is sure to win the prize. If the special role and the re-game role can be drawn in at the same time, only the re-game role will be drawn in, and the special role will not be aligned on the winning line at the same time as the re-game role.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 rotates the reel for which the stop operation has not yet been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started. On condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is continuously detected, the corresponding reel is controlled to stop the display result. Even if the reel rotation is temporarily stopped due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected after the reel rotation is restarted until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected. The rotation of the reels that are not used is continued, and on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, the corresponding reel is controlled to stop the display result.

In this embodiment, on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, the corresponding reel is controlled to stop the display result, but the reel rotation starts. After that, even if the reel stop operation is not performed when the predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, it is considered that the stop operation has been performed and the automatic stop control for automatically stopping each reel is performed. You may. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the operation of the player, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any of the winning combinations even if any of the winning combinations is won.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the time when the rotation of the reel is started after the start of the game, that is, the time when the rotation of the reel is started. After the end of one game, a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game starts. If the game time at which the time counting is started from the time point is equal to or longer than the predetermined regulation time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the predetermined regulation time has elapsed from the reel rotation start time of the previous game, that At that point, the rotation of the reel in the game is started.

On the other hand, after the end of one game, a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game starts. If the game time at which timing is started from a time point is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed from the start time of reel rotation of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time. The game waits until the game time at which the timing is started from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, the rotation of the reel in the game is started.

That is, when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed from the start of rotation of the reel in the previous game, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses, so that one game The progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time exceeds a predetermined regulation time.

In this embodiment, if a predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of rotation of the reel in the previous game, the progress of the game is restricted until the predetermined regulation time elapses, so that one game can be played. The game progress is regulated so that the shortest time is equal to or longer than the predetermined regulated time, but the game progress may be regulated so that the shortest time of at least one game is longer than the predetermined regulated time. If the game time is started from one timing other than the start of rotation of the reel in one game (for example, at the end of the game) and the predetermined regulation time has elapsed by the same one timing in the next game. While allowing the game to proceed, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed by the same timing in the next game, the game is not advanced and the game waits until the predetermined regulation time elapses, and the predetermined regulation time elapses. By enabling the game to proceed at the time when the game is played, the progress of the game may be restricted so that the shortest time of one game is equal to or longer than a predetermined regulation time.

Next, a command transmitted by the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 gives the sub control unit 91 a number of input commands, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command 1, a freeze command 2, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, and a winning number command. Sends multiple types of commands including payout start command, payout end command, return command, game status command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, and operation detection command. ..

These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the type of the command and 1-byte extended data indicating the content of the command, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the type of the command from the type data.

The number of inserted medals command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the number of medals, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game, when the power is restored. , Or when a medal is inserted in a state where the specified number of bets is not set, or when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the bet number, the medal is transmitted. Further, since the input number command is transmitted when the bet number setting operation is performed, it is possible to identify that the bet number setting operation has been performed by receiving the input number command.

The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game, and in a state where a specified number of bets are set. Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to identify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

The freeze command 1 can specify whether or not a freeze reservation flag (a flag indicating that a specific operation is performed in the judgment game controls the freeze state), which will be described later, is set, and the number of games up to the judgment game. It is a command and is sent at the end of the game.

The freeze command 2 can specify that a specific operation has been performed in the determination game described later, that is, that the activation of the bet number setting operation of the next game or the start operation of the next game is delayed by being controlled to the freeze state. Command, which is sent when a specific operation is performed in the judgment game.

The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation in a game not controlled by the freeze state described later, and is transmitted when the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. It is transmitted every time the stop control accompanying the stop operation of each reel is performed. Further, since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, it is possible to identify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R have been operated by receiving the reel stop command. ..

The winning number command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, the presence or absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, and all reels are stopped and the winning judgment is performed. Will be sent afterwards.

The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning a prize or settlement of credits (including the medal used for setting the number of bets) is started. In addition, the payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning a prize and settlement of credits is completed.

The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power failure, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power failure.

The game state command is a command that can specify the current game state (any of RT 0 to 3), and is transmitted when the power is restored or when the game ends.

The standby command is a command indicating that the game shifts to the standby state, and when the game shifts to the standby state after a certain period of time has passed without setting the bet number after one game is completed, credit (used to set the bet number). It is sent after the payout of medals by settlement (including medals) is completed and the payout end command is sent.

The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and when the stop state is controlled after the end of RT3, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted, and the reset operation is performed to hit. When the stopped state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stopped state is transmitted.

An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error state and the type of error state. When an error is determined and controlled to an error state, an error command indicating the occurrence of an error state and its type is sent and reset. When the operation is performed and the error state is cleared, an error command indicating the error state is cleared is sent.

The setting command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. When the setting change state is entered, the setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is sent, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is sent. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it is possible to specify that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of the setting. ..

The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. When the setting confirmation state is entered, the setting confirmation command that indicates the start of the setting confirmation is sent, and the setting that indicates the end of the setting confirmation is sent when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door open detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), and is the number of bets for the next game when the power is turned on and when one game ends (after the game ends). Is transmitted when the detection state of the door open detection switch 25 changes (on to off, off to on) (before the setting of can be started).

The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R), and is periodically transmitted.

Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) described above. To.

On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main) and stored in the door command storage area. In the door command storage area, a door command indicating the detection state of the door open detection switch 25 at that time when the power is turned on or at the end of one game is stored, and when the detection state of the door open detection switch 25 changes, after the change. A door command indicating the detection status is stored. Further, the door command stored in the door command storage area is not cleared even after the door command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by the newly stored door command. At the time of turning on the power or at the end of one game, the door command transmission request 1 requesting the transmission of the door command stored in the door command storage area is set, and the door open detection is detected whether the door command transmission request 1 is set. When the detection state of the switch 25 changes, it is temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and is transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main).

The operation detection command is generated in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and then the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). Will be sent.

Next, the effect control executed by the sub control unit 91 based on the command transmitted by the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing up to 16 commands, and can store a plurality of commands.

In the timer interrupt processing (sub), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer, and if an unprocessed command is stored, the earliest of them. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the step, and the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speaker 53, 54, the reel LED 55, etc. are referred to based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Controls the output of various production devices.

In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the effect effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. are displayed for each of the plurality of types of effect patterns. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives the command, the sub-control unit 91 of the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among them, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the effect device is performed based on the control pattern. As a result, the effect according to the effect pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during the execution of the effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed and uses the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. That is, even if the production is not completed to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new production is performed unless the new command received is not the command that triggers the new production. The effect based on the command will be executed.

In particular, in this embodiment, when the bet number setting operation is performed during the execution of the effect, that is, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the input number command indicating that the bet number has been set, it is being executed. The production is to be canceled. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed with the next game rather than watching the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started, which makes such a player feel annoyed. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet number settlement operation is performed during the execution of the production, that is, the sub-control unit 91 receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and then receives an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. If the payout start command is received before, the effect being executed is stopped. The settlement of credits and bets is performed when the game is ended. In such a case, by ending the ongoing production, the production continues unnecessarily even though there is an intention to end the game. It is designed not to be used.

When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, it is stored in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. The registered selection rate is referred to, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Therefore, even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received, and as a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

Also, if you win a special replay 2 in RT1 and 2, you will move to RT3.

Here, referring to FIG. 3, the “replay a” and “replay b” of the left reel 2L constituting the special replay 3 are arranged at a position one position above “7a”, “7b” or “7c”. Since the "replay a", "watermelon a" and "watermelon b" on the right reel 2R are located one position below "7a", "7b" or "7c", "replay a" -7a-Replay a "," Replay a-7a-Watermelon a "," Replay a-7a-Watermelon b "," Replay a-7b-Replay a "," Replay a-7b-Watermelon a "," Replay a " -7b-watermelon b "," replay a-7c-replay a "," replay a-7c-watermelon a "," replay a-7c-watermelon b "," replay b-7a-replay a "," replay b " -7a-watermelon a "," replay b-7a-watermelon b "," replay b-7b-replay a "," replay b-7b-watermelon a "," replay b-7b-watermelon b "," replay b " When any combination of "-7c-replay a", "replay b-7c-watermelon a", and "replay b-7c-watermelon b" is available, "7a-7a-7a" and "7a-7a-7b" , "7a-7a-7c", "7a-7b-7a", "7a-7b-7b", "7a-7b-7c", "7a-7c-7a", "7a-7c-7b", " 7a-7c-7c "," 7b-7a-7a "," 7b-7a-7b "," 7b-7a-7c "," 7b-7b-7a "," 7b-7b-7b "," 7b- 7b-7c ”,“ 7b-7c-7a ”,“ 7b-7c-7b ”,“ 7b-7c-7c ”,“ 7c-7a-7a ”,“ 7c-7a-7b ”,“ 7c-7a- 7c "," 7c-7b-7a "," 7c-7b-7b "," 7c-7b-7c "," 7c-7c-7a "," 7c-7c-7b "," 7c-7c-7c " Any of the combinations of will rise to the right, that is, will be aligned with the invalid line LM4.

In addition, the left reel 2L "replay a" and "replay b" constituting the special replay 3, the middle reel 2C "7a", "7b" and "7c", and the right reel 2R "replay a" and "watermelon a" "And" watermelon b "are arranged within 5 frames in each. Therefore, when the special replay 3 is won in the internal lottery described later, in principle, it can be said that the prize can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

Next, the transition result will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the transition rolls are "replay a-7a-bell a", "replay a-7b-bell a", "replay a-7c-bell a", and "replay b-7a-bell a". , "Replay b-7b-bell a", "Replay b-7c-bell a", "Replay a-bell a-7a", "Replay a-bell a-7b", "Replay a-bell a-7c" , "Replay b-bell a-7a", "Replay b-bell a-7b", "Replay b-bell a-7c", "Replay a-7a-7a", "Replay a-7a-7b", "Replay a-7a-7c", "Replay a-7b-7a", "Replay a-7b-7b", "Replay a-7b-7c", "Replay a-7c-7a", "Replay a-7c" -7b "," Replay a-7c-7c "," Replay b-7a-7a "," Replay b-7a-7b "," Replay b-7a-7c "," Replay b-7b-7a "," It is a combination of "Replay b-7b-7b", "Replay b-7b-7c", "Replay b-7c-7a", "Replay b-7c-7b", "Replay b-7c-7c", RT0, In RT2 and RT3, when the transition rolls are aligned with the winning line LN, the transition to RT1 is made. In this embodiment, the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4, which will be described later, are won, and the upper bells that are won are the first stop except for the reels that are the winning conditions for the middle bell. If you miss the above, the above transitions will be aligned with the winning line LN.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14, a combination of lottery target combinations read out as lottery target combinations for each game state will be described. In this embodiment, either the winning combination or the winning probability thereof, which is the target of the internal lottery, differs depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2, or RT3. As will be described later, a plurality of winning combinations may be read out at the same time and won in duplicate. 13 and 14 show a combination of combinations to be read out for each lottery target combination, and by indicating a “+” between the winning combinations, it is shown that the combination is read out as a lottery target combination at the same time in the internal lottery.

In FIGS. 11 and 12, the vertical column shows the lottery target combination, and the horizontal column shows the game state. In addition, a circle in the column where the game state and the lottery target combination intersect indicates that the lottery target combination is read when the game state is in effect, and a cross mark indicates that the lottery target combination is read when the game state is in the game state. Indicates that the combination is not read.

Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determined values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to "65536" in correspondence with a random number (integer of 0 to 65535) for internal lottery. Therefore, for example, the winning probability of the lottery target combination in which "300" is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

Further, FIG. 11 shows a combination of small winning combinations read out as lottery target combinations for each gaming state (RT type), and FIG. 12 shows a re-gaming combination read out as a lottery target winning combination for each gaming state (RT type). The combination of is shown.

When RT0, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay are the targets of the internal lottery.

When it is RT1, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, special replay, fall + promotion replay 1, fall + promotion replay 2, fall + promotion Replay 3, Fall + Promotion Replay 4, Fall + Promotion Replay 5, Normal + Special Replay 7 are eligible for the internal lottery.

When it is RT2, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall replay 3, Normal + Special Replay 1, Normal + Special Replay 2, Normal + Special Replay 3, Normal + Special Replay 4, Normal + Special Replay 5, Normal + Special Replay 6 are eligible for the internal lottery.

When it is RT3, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, special replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall Replay 3, normal + special replay 8, normal + special replay 9, normal + special replay 10 are the target roles of the internal lottery.

As shown in FIG. 13, the common bell is a single winning of the right-down bell, and when the common bell is won, the combination of the right-down bell is always aligned.

The left bell 1 is a right-down bell + an upper bell 1 + an upper bell 4, a left bell 2 is a right-down bell + an upper bell 2 + an upper bell 3, and a left bell 3 is a right-down bell + an upper bell 4. 6 + upper bell 7) and left bell 4 are a downward-sloping bell + an upper bell 5 + an upper bell 8. Left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells.

The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell. 8 and the middle bell 4 is a middle bell + an upper bell 4 + an upper bell 7. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called the middle bells.

The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 7. 8 and the right bell 4 is a middle bell + an upper bell 4 + an upper bell 6. Right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells.

Further, these left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4, and right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

The middle cherry is a single winner of Cherry 1.

The weak cherry is cherry 2 + cherry 3 + 1 1 + 1 3 and the strong cherry is cherry 2 + cherry 3 + 1 2 + 1 3. When the weak cherry is won and the strong cherry is won, when the left reel is stopped at the timing when both are within the pull-in range of "7c" or "watermelon b", "cherry" is placed on the upper or lower stage of the left reel 2L. However, when the weak cherry is won, even if you aim for "cherry" on the middle and right reels 2C and 2R, the combination of "cherry-cherry-cherry" will not be aligned on either of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. On the other hand, when a strong cherry is won, by aiming at the "cherry" on the middle and right reels 2C and 2R and performing a stop operation, "cherry-cherry-cherry" is placed on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. It is controlled so that the combinations of "" can be aligned.

Therefore, when the stop operation is performed aiming at the "cherry" on the left, middle, and right reels, and the "cherry" is stopped on the upper or lower stage of the left reel, "cherry-cherry" is set on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. It is possible to recognize whether it is a strong cherry or a weak cherry depending on whether or not the combination of "cherries" is complete.

A weak one is a single win of one, and a strong one is a single win of two. When a weak one is won, it is controlled so that the "7b-watermelon b-cherry" constituting each one is aligned, and even if the "7b-watermelon b-cherry" is not aligned, in a specific operation mode. By performing the stop operation, it is controlled so that the weak chances that can be derived only when one weak or one strong is won can be derived, while when one strong is won, one 2 is composed of "7b-watermelon b-". It is controlled so that "watermelon b" is aligned, and even if "7b-watermelon b-watermelon b" is not aligned, a strong chance that it can be derived only when one strong card is won by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode. The eyes are controlled so that they can be derived.

For this reason, as a result of aligning the "7b-watermelon b-cherries" constituting one sheet 1 or performing the stop operation in a specific operation mode, a weak chance is derived, and the weak one is won. As a result of recognizing "7b-watermelon b-watermelon b" that composes 1 sheet 1 or performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode, a strong chance eye is derived and a strong 1 sheet is obtained. You can recognize the winning.

The weak watermelon is the upper watermelon + the right-down watermelon + the right-up watermelon, and the strong watermelon is the upper watermelon + the middle watermelon + the right-down watermelon + the right-up watermelon. When a weak watermelon is won, even if the left, middle, and right reels are stopped at the timing when the combination of "watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b" can be stopped in the middle stage, "watermelon a" The combination of "/ b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b" is controlled so that it is aligned in the upper row, downward-sloping or upward-sloping, while when a strong watermelon is won, "watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon" When the left, middle, and right reels are stopped at the timing when the combination of "a / b" can be stopped in the middle stage, the combination of "watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b" is in the middle stage. It is controlled to be aligned.

Therefore, as a result of stopping the left, middle, and right reels at the timing when the combination of "watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b" can be stopped in the middle stage, "watermelon a / b-watermelon" It is possible to recognize whether the weak watermelon is won or the strong watermelon is won depending on whether the combination of "a / b-watermelon a / b" is aligned in the upper row, downward-sloping or upward-sloping, or in the middle row.

As shown in FIG. 14, the normal replay is a single winning of the normal replay 1, and when the normal replay is won, the combination of the normal replay 1 is always aligned.

The special replay is a special replay 1 + a special replay 2 + a special replay 3, and when the special replay is won, any combination of the special replay 1, the special replay 2 or the special replay 3 is always prepared.

Fall + promotion replay 1 is promotion replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 2 is normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay, and fall + promotion replay 3 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + promotion. Replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 4 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + fall replay, and fall + promotion replay 5 is normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay + special replay 1. is there.

Normal + fall replay 1 is normal replay 1 + fall replay, normal + fall replay 2 is normal replay 1 + fall replay + special replay 1, and normal + fall replay 3 is normal replay 1 + fall replay + Special replay 2.

Normal + special replay 1 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 2 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 3 is , Normal replay 1 + Normal replay 2 + Normal replay 3 + Promotion replay + Special replay 1, Normal + Special replay 4 is Normal replay 1 + Normal replay 2 + Normal replay 3 + Special replay 3, and Normal + Special replay 5 is Normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, normal + special replay 6 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 3, and special replay 7 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + Special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3, normal + special replay 8 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 9 is normal replay 1 + normal Replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 10 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1.

In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of small wins are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 15, the small wins determined according to the types of the small wins simultaneously won and the order of the stop operation are placed on the winning line. Control is performed to align and stop within a pull-in range of up to 4 frames.

If the left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4) is won and the stop operation is performed by pushing left (stop operation to stop the left reel first), the winning small winning combination will be lowered to the right. When the combination of bells is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing (stop operation to stop the middle reel first) or right pressing (stop operation to stop the right reel first). Controls the combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, or the transition roll to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

If the left bell 2 (right-down bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is won and the stop operation is performed by pushing left, the combination of the right-down bells among the winning small wins is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

Because there are places, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are won, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the left or middle, at an appropriate timing that will be the pull-in range of the winning upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in that case, the transition rolls are controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when any of the left bell, the middle bell, and the right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, the stop operation is performed in the operation mode according to the type of the winning combination, thereby lowering to the right. While the bell or middle bell always wins, by performing the stop operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bells are aligned in 1/4, but the upper bells are aligned in 3/4. In some cases, the transition rolls will be aligned.

Therefore, when the push order bell is won, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation mode is operated according to the type of winning combination. That is, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is not possible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known, and if the push order matches, the right-down bell or the middle bell is surely selected. Although you can definitely win medals by winning a prize, you can only win medals at a certain rate if the push order does not match.

In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-games are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 16, the re-games determined according to the types of the simultaneously-winning re-games and the stop operation order are won. Control is performed so that the line is aligned and stopped within a pull-in range of up to 4 frames.

If the fall + promotion replay 2 (normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle, left, and right, the combination of the promotion replays among the winning replays is aligned with the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle, left, and right, the combination of fall replays is aligned with the winning line LN to stop the game.

If the fall + promotion replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of the promotion replays among the winning replay roles is the winning line. Control is performed to align and stop in line with the LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed to align the combination of fall replays with the winning line LN and stop.

If the fall + promotion replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right, left, and right, the combination of the promotion replays among the winning replays is selected as the winning line. Control is performed to align and stop in line with the LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than right, left, and middle, control is performed to align the combination of fall replays with the winning line LN and stop.

If the fall + promotion replay 5 (normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left, the combination of promotion replays among the winning replay roles is selected. Control is performed to align and stop the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than right, middle, and left, control is performed to align the combination of fall replays with the winning line LN and stop.

As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the promotion replay and the fall replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, the stop switches are arranged according to the stop operation order. Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L to 8R, reel control is performed so that the promotion replay or the fall replay always wins a prize.

As described above, in the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for winning the promotion replay.

Therefore, in RT1 where the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 are the targets of the internal lottery, one of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is won, and the promotion replay matches the operation mode according to the type. Will win a prize and move to RT2.

When normal + fall replay 1 (normal replay 1 + fall replay) is won and a stop operation is performed by pushing left, control to align the combination of normal replay 1 among the winning replays to the winning line LN and stop. When the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle button or the right button, the combination of the fall replays is aligned with the winning line LN to stop the game.

If the normal + fall replay 2 (normal replay 1 + fall replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle button, the combination of the normal replay 1 among the winning replays is aligned with the winning line LN. It controls to stop, and when the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, it controls to align the combination of fall replays with the winning line LN and stop.

If normal + fall replay 3 (normal replay 1 + fall replay + special replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right-pressing, the combination of normal replay 1 among the winning replays is selected as the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in the order of left push or middle push, the control is performed so that the combination of fall replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the normal replay 1 and the fall replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, they stop according to the stop operation order. Regardless of the stop operation timing of the switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the normal replay 1 or the fall replay always wins a prize.

As described above, in the normal + fall replays 1 to 3, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for avoiding the fall replay.

Therefore, in RT2 and RT3 where the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 is won, if it matches the operation mode for winning the normal replay. The transition to RT1 can be avoided, but if it does not match the operation mode in which the normal replay is won, the fall replay will be won and the transition to RT1 will be made.

If normal + special replay 1 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle, and right, the combination of special replay 1 among the winning replays Is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN, and when the stopping operation is performed in an order other than left, middle, and right, control is performed to align any combination of replays 1 to 3 with the winning line LN and stop. Do.

If normal + special replay 2 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replay 1 among the winning replays is selected as the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the control is performed so that any combination of the normal replays 1 and 2 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

If normal + special replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle, left, and right, special replay 1 of the winning replay roles Control to align the combinations of the above to the winning line LN and stop, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, control to align any combination of normal replays 1 to 3 to the winning line LN and stop. I do.

If normal + special replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of special replay 3 among the winning replay roles is selected. Control is performed to align and stop the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed to align any combination of replays 1 to 3 to the winning line LN and stop.

If normal + special replay 5 (normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right, left, and right, the combination of special replay 3 among the winning replays is selected as the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than right, left, and middle, the control is performed so that any combination of the normal replays 2 and 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

If normal + special replay 6 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left, the special replay of the winning replays Control is performed to align the combination of 3 with the winning line LN and stop, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than right, middle and left, the combination of any of the normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. Control to make it.

If normal + special replay 7 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left, special replays 1 to 3 of the winning replay roles Control is performed so that any combination of the above is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and when the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, the combination of normal replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the special replays 1 to 3 and the normal replays 1 to 3 are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, the stop operation is performed. Depending on the order, reel control is performed so that the special replays 1 to 3 or the normal replays 1 to 3 always win a prize regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

As described above, in the normal + special replays 1 to 6, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for winning the special replay.

Therefore, in RT2 where the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the normal + special replays 1 to 6 is won, if it matches the operation mode for winning the special replay. If the special replay wins, especially if it is RT2, it will shift to RT3, but if it does not match, the normal replay will win.

In addition, normal + special replay 7 is subject to internal lottery only at RT1, but in this case, if you perform a stop operation by pressing left, the special replay will win and it will shift to RT3, but middle press or right press If you perform the stop operation with, the replay usually only wins.

If normal + special replay 8 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle, and right, the normal replay of the winning replays Win a combination of 2 (a stop mode in which 7a / b / c stops at the winning line LN (tempai) by the second stop, and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop at the winning line LN at the third stop). If the control is performed to stop the game in line with the line LN and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of normal replay 3 among the winning replays (7a / b / c is won by the second stop). Control is performed so that the line LN is stopped (tempai) and the symbols other than 7a / b / c are stopped at the winning line LN at the time of the third stop) in line with the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in the order of, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, the combination of normal replay 1 is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and the order is right / left middle or right middle left. When the stop operation is performed, that is, when the right reel is set as the first stop, the control is performed so that the combination of the special replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

If normal + special replay 9 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle, left and right, the combination of normal replay 3 among the winning replays ( 7a / b / c stops at the winning line LN (tempai) by the second stop, and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop at the winning line LN at the third stop) are aligned with the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of normal replay 4 among the winning replays (7a / b / c stops at the winning line LN by the second stop). (Tempai) and the stop mode in which symbols other than 7a / b / c stop at the winning line LN at the time of the third stop) are controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, in the order of right / left middle or right middle left. When the stop operation is performed, that is, when the right reel is set as the first stop, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right or left and right middle. When this is done, that is, when the left reel is set as the first stop, the combination of the special replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

If normal + special replay 10 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right, left, and right, the combination of normal replay 2 among the winning replay roles ( 7a / b / c stops at the winning line LN (tempai) by the second stop, and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop at the winning line LN at the third stop) are aligned with the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left, the combination of normal replay 4 among the winning replays (7a / b / c is set to the winning line LN by the second stop). Control is performed so that the stop (tempai) and the symbols other than 7a / b / c stop at the winning line LN at the time of the third stop) are aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and the order is left middle right or left and right middle. When the stop operation is performed with, that is, when the left reel is set as the first stop, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN to stop, and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left. When this is done, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, the combination of the special replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay 1 and the normal replays 1 to 4 are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, and therefore correspond to the stop operation order. Therefore, the reel control is performed so that the special replay 1 or the normal replays 1 to 4 always win a prize regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

In this way, in normal + special replays 8 to 10, normal replay 1 (combination of replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b) and normal replays 2 to 4 (until the second stop). 7a / b / c is tempered, and symbols other than 7a / b / c are stopped at the third stop), special replay 1 (7a / b / c-7a / b / c-7a / b / The operation mode for winning any of the combinations of c) is set, and the operation mode for winning any of the normal replay 1, the normal replays 2 to 4, and the special replay 1 according to the type is set. Is set to be different.

Therefore, in RT3 where the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won, it matches the operation mode in which the normal replay 1 is won. For example, if the normal replay 1 (combination of replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b) wins and matches the operation mode for winning the special replay 1, the special replay 1 (7a / b) If the combination of / c-7a / b / c-7a / b / c) wins and the operation mode for winning the normal replays 2 to 4 matches, the normal replays 2 to 4 (7a / b / by the second stop) A stop mode in which c is tempered and symbols other than 7a / b / c are stopped at the time of the third stop) will be awarded.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, it is controlled by any of RTs 0 to 3.

RT0 shifts after changing the setting. Then, RT0 ends by shifting to RT1 by stopping the transition roll, regardless of the number of games after shifting to RT0.

The winning probability of the replaying combination at RT0 is about 1 / 7.3, and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. As mentioned above, as a replay role, only normal replays are subject to the internal lottery, and only normal replays can be won.

RT1 shifts when the transition roll stops at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT2, 3. Then, RT1 ends when the promotion replay wins a prize and shifts to RT2, or when a special replay wins a prize and shifts to RT3.

The winning probability of the replaying combination in RT1 is about 1 / 7.3, and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. As mentioned above, normal replay, special replay, fall + promotion replay 1 to 5, normal + special replay 7 are subject to internal lottery as replay roles, and normal replay, promotion replay, fall replay, special replay. Can win a prize.

RT2 shifts to when the promotion replay wins in RT1 (when any of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is won and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins). Then, RT2 ends by shifting to RT1 by winning a fall replay or stopping the transition roll, or by shifting to RT3 by winning a special replay.

The winning probability of the replaying combination in RT2 is about 1 / 3.06, and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. As mentioned above, normal replays, normal + fall replays 1 to 3, and normal + special replays 1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replays, fall replays, and special replays can be won. ..

RT3 is when the special replay wins in RT1 (when the special replay wins, or when the normal + special replay 7 wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing left), or when the special replay wins in RT2 (normally). + When the special replays 1 to 6 are won and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the special replays are won). Then, RT3 ends when the fall replay wins a prize or the transition roll is stopped and the transition to RT1 occurs.

The winning probability of the replaying combination in RT3 is about 1 / 1.27, and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. As mentioned above, normal replays, special replays, normal + fall replays 1 to 3, normal + special replays 8 to 10 are subject to internal lottery as replay roles, and normal replays, fall replays, and special replays are included. You can win a prize.

Of RTs 0 to 3, RT3 has the highest medal payout rate per game and is the most advantageous gaming state.

Further, among RTs 0 to 2, RT2 has a higher probability of winning the re-game combination than RT0 and 1, and the medal payout rate per game is higher than that of RT0 and 1, and RT0,1 It can be said that it is in a more advantageous state for the player.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT1 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 produces an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) which is a notification period in which a navigation effect for notifying the internal lottery result can be executed. The state can be controlled.

Here, the transition status of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, after the setting is changed, it is first controlled to RT0. At RT0, the transition to RT1 is performed when the transition result is stopped.

If any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are won at RT0, and the small winning combination cannot be won, the transition roll will be stopped. If any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are won in RT3 that has been transferred after the setting change, and the small winning combination cannot be won, the transition to RT1 is performed. It becomes.

In RT1, when the promotion replay wins a prize, it shifts to RT2. In RT1, fall + promotion 1-5 will be won, and if the stop order is correct, the promotion replay will be won. Therefore, in RT1, fall + promotion 1-5 will be won, and if the stop order is correct, it will go to RT2. It will be migrated. Further, in RT1, the special replay is won, or the normal + special replay 7 is won, and the special replay is won to shift to RT3.

In RT2, when the fall replay wins a prize or the transition roll is stopped, it shifts to RT1, and when the special replay wins, it shifts to RT3.

In RT2, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay wins when the stop order is incorrect. Further, if any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are won and the small winning combination cannot be won, the transition roll is stopped. Therefore, in RT2, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the stop order is incorrect, or one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 is won. If the small role cannot be won, it will shift to RT1. On the other hand, in RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and the special replay wins when the stop order is correct. Therefore, in RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the process shifts to RT3.

In RT3, the player shifts to RT1 when the fall replay wins or the transition roll is stopped. In RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay wins when the stop order is incorrect. Further, if any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are won and the small winning combination cannot be won, the transition roll is stopped. Therefore, in RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the stop order is incorrect, or one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 is won. If the small role cannot be won, it will shift to RT1.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 inserts medals or operates the MAXBET switch 6 immediately after the game ends when none of the winning combinations are won except in certain cases, or when a small winning combination is won. While the bet number setting operation is valid, when the special replay is won, the game progresses in the period from the start of the subsequent judgment game to the stop operation of any of the reels. If a specific operation (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 10 times or more) that is not related to the above is performed, no winning combination is won in the judgment game, or a small winning combination is won, FIG. 24 (a). ), After winning, the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the bet number setting operation for the same time as the time required for the character introduction period that constitutes the character selection effect described later. Since the bet number setting operation is invalidated until the freeze state ends, the medal is returned even if a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated during this period, and the bet number by the MAXBET switch 6 is changed. The setting operation is not effectively accepted and the number of bets is not set.

In addition, the main control unit 41 automatically sets the same number of bets as the previous game immediately after the end of the game when the re-game combination wins, except in certain cases, and the start operation of the next game is performed. While it is valid, when the special replay is won, a specific operation that is not related to the progress of the game during the period from the start of the subsequent judgment game to the stop operation of any reel ( If the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more and the re-game combination wins in the determination game, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), the same number as the previous game immediately after winning. Although the number of bets is automatically set, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation for the same time as the time required for the character introduction period that constitutes the character selection effect described later. Since the start operation is invalidated for a period until the freeze state ends, even if the start operation is performed during this period, the start operation is not effectively accepted and the game does not start.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the main control unit 41 sets a freeze reservation flag indicating that when a special replay wins a prize, the freeze reservation flag is controlled in the next game when a specific operation is performed in the determination game. Set to. Further, when the special replay wins a prize, the main control unit 41 performs a judgment game number lottery to determine the number of judgment games, which is the number of games up to the judgment game, from a plurality of games, and stores the number of games up to the judgment game in RAM 41c. The determined number of games is set in the determination game number counter assigned for counting.

In the determination game number lottery, as shown in FIG. 18, any number of games from 0 to 10 is randomly determined. For this reason, when a special replay is won, the number of games up to the determination game, which is controlled to the frozen state in the next game by performing a specific operation, is randomly changed. If 0 game is decided, the next game in which the special replay wins will be the judgment game.

Further, when the freeze reservation flag is set, the main control unit 41 subtracts the value of the determination game number counter for each game by 1, and whether or not the subtracted result is 0, that is, the game is the determination game. It is determined whether or not it is.

Then, in the case of a determination game, it is determined whether or not a specific operation not related to the progress of the game has been performed in the period from the start of the determination game to the stop operation of any reel. .. The specific operation in this embodiment is an operation of the MAXBET switch 6 which is invalid in the progress of the game during the period from the start of the game to the stop operation of any of the reels, and after the start of the determination game, By operating the MAXBET switch 6 10 times or more in the period until the stop operation of any of the reels is performed, it is determined that there is a specific operation, the freeze reservation flag is cleared, and the replaying role is played in the determination game. If no prize is won, that is, if no winning combination is won or a small winning combination is won, the freeze state is controlled to delay the activation of the bet number setting operation in the next game, and the replaying combination is played in the judgment game. If a prize is won, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation in the next game.

On the other hand, if no specific operation is performed after the start of the determination game until the stop operation of any of the reels is performed, that is, if the MAXBET switch 6 is not operated, or if the MAXBET switch 6 is operated. If the number of times does not reach 10, the freeze reservation flag is cleared and the frozen state is not controlled in the next game.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is a special in ART (a state controlled by AT at RT3) when the middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, and strong watermelon are won. When the replays 8 to 10 are won, a navigation stock lottery will be held to determine whether or not to grant the navigation stock, which is the right to control the ART. Middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon at the time of winning, normal + special replay 8-10 at the time of winning Navistock lottery, including 0 Navistock By determining the number, whether or not to grant the number of navigation stocks and, if so, the number thereof are determined.

In this embodiment, the average number of Navistock winnings in the Navistock lottery differs depending on the type of role that triggered the lottery.

The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by ART over a predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment). By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks by 1, the ART is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and the navigation effect is executed during that time. Therefore, it can be said that the larger the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

If the navigation stock is won while the number of navigation stocks remains, the number of navigation stocks won this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks.

When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the navigation stock lottery in a state other than during ART, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in the navigation stock number storage area described later in the RAM 91c. The sub control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control the ART based on the presence or absence of the number of navigation stocks in the RAM 91c. Then, when one or more navigation stocks remain, the AT is first controlled after the ART confirmation notification indicating the winning of the ART is performed through a predetermined introduction effect.

The sub-control unit 91 can control the AT on the condition that the navigation stock remains when the RTs 1 to 3 are not controlled by the AT.

Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls the RT1 to 3 (mainly RT1) to the AT when the navigation stock remains. In the period from RT1 to RT3, the navigation stock is controlled by the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks, and the navigation effect can be executed. At this time, in RT1, the navigation effect is applied when the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 are won, and in the navigation effect, the push order for winning the promotion replay when the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 are won is notified. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT2 by performing a stop operation according to the notified push order.

In addition, even during the transition from RT1 to RT2 after the start of AT control, the push order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won, so by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, the medal can be reliably obtained. It is also possible to acquire.

In RT2, the target of the navigation effect is when the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and in the navigation effect, the push order for winning the special replay is notified when the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won. It is possible to shift from RT2 to RT3 by performing the stop operation according to the pressing order.

Further, during the transition from RT2 to RT3 after the start of AT control, when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order for avoiding the fall replay is notified, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. As a result, the transition to RT1 can be avoided, and when the push order bell is won, the push order for winning the bell is notified. Therefore, by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, a medal can be reliably obtained. Moreover, the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

After the start of AT, when the transition from RT2 to RT3 is performed, ART will start, and the number of navigation stocks will be consumed (subtracted) by 1. When the number of navigation stocks is consumed by 1, the number of navigation stocks is subtracted by 1.

After the start of ART, when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order for avoiding the fall replay is notified. Therefore, by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, the transition to RT1 can be avoided and the transition to RT1 can be avoided. When the push order bell is won, the push order for winning the bell is notified. Therefore, by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, it is possible to surely win a medal and avoid the transition to RT1.

In addition, after the start of ART, when the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won, the push order for winning the normal replay 1 is notified except when the navigation stock lottery is won, and the normal replays 1 to 4 are won in the order of winning. Since the stop operation of is prompted, by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, the special replay 1 is performed when the normal + special replay 8 to 10 is won even though the player has not won the navigation stock lottery. Is prevented from winning a prize.

The sub-control unit 91 stores the number of remaining ART games (50 games of the present embodiment) executed by the navigation stock when the navigation stock is consumed by 1, that is, when the system shifts from RT2 to RT3. Store in the area. The sub-control unit 91 subtracts the number of remaining games in the RAM 91c by 1 each time one game is exhausted, and controls the ART in the period until the number of remaining games becomes 0. If the target role of the navigation is won when the number of games remains, the navigation effect is executed.

After that, when the number of games remaining in ART becomes 0 and there is no navigation stock remaining, ART is terminated and non-AT control is performed.

When controlled by non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when it is RT3, there is a high possibility that the transition rolls will be aligned, and the possibility of shifting to RT1 will increase.

If the navigation stock remains, the number of navigation stocks is consumed (subtracted) by 1, a new predetermined number of games is set, and then the ART is controlled until the number of remaining games in the ART becomes 0. To do. As a result, ART will continue to control until the number of navigation stocks becomes zero.

When the sub control unit 91 is controlled by the AT or ART, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination according to the game state. The navigation target roles according to the game state are fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 and push order bell when it is RT1, and normal + fall replays 1 to 3 and normal + special replays 1 to 6 when it is RT2. , Push order bell, and when RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3, normal + special replays 8 to 10, push order bells.

As a navigation effect when the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 are won, the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the promotion replay is notified according to the winning situation of the internal lottery. For example, as a navigation effect when the fall + promotion replay 1 is won, a message such as "left middle right!" Or "left and right middle!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the fall + promotion replay 2 is won, a message such as "middle left and right!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the fall + promotion replay 3 is won, a message such as "middle right left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the fall + promotion replay 4 is won, a message such as "right, left, middle!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the fall + promotion replay 5 is won, a message such as "right, middle, left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As a navigation effect when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the promotion replay is notified according to the winning situation of the internal lottery. For example, as a navigation effect when the normal + fall replay 1 is won, a message such as "left middle right!" Or "left and right middle!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + fall replay 2 is won, a message such as "middle left / right!" Or "middle right / left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + fall replay 3 is won, a message such as "right, left, middle!" Or "right, middle, left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As a navigation effect when the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the special replay is notified according to the winning situation of the internal lottery. For example, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 1 is won, a message such as "left middle right!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 2 is won, a message such as "left and right middle!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 3 is won, a message such as "middle left and right!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 4 is won, a message such as "middle right left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 5 is won, a message such as "right, left, middle!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 6 is won, a message such as "right, middle, left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, as a navigation effect when any of the push order bells is won, the push order (see FIG. 15) for surely winning the right-down bell or the middle bell is notified. For example, when the left bell is won, the left reel can be stopped as the first stop reel to ensure that the right-down bell can be won, so that the left reel can be stopped as the first stop reel. A message such as "!" Or "middle left and right!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle reel can be reliably won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so "middle left and right!" For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. Alternatively, a message such as "middle right left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so "right left middle!" To stop the right reel as the first stop reel. Alternatively, a message such as "right, middle, left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

After the start of ART, if you win the normal + special replay 8 to 10 and win the navigation stock lottery at that time, the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the special replay 1 as a navigation effect is notified. To. For example, when the normal + special replay 8 is won and the navigation stock lottery is won, a message such as "right, left, middle!" Or "right, middle, left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the normal + special replay 9 is won and the navigation stock lottery is won, a message such as "left middle right!" Or "left and right middle!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the normal + special replay 10 is won and the navigation stock lottery is won, a message such as "middle left / right!" Or "middle right / left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In addition, after the start of ART, if the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won and the navigation stock lottery is not won at that time, the push order or the special replay 1 configuration in which the normal replay 1 is won as a navigation effect. The push order (see FIG. 16) for tempting the symbols (normally replays 2 to 4 are won) is notified. For example, if you win the normal + special replay 8 and do not win the navigation stock lottery, the navigation effect is a message such as "middle left and right!" Or "middle right left!", Or "left middle right!" Or "left and right." A message such as "Medium!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, if you win the normal + special replay 9 and do not win the navigation stock lottery, the navigation effect will be a message such as "Right left middle!" Or "Right middle left!", Or "Middle left and right!" Or "Middle left and right!" A message such as "Right / Left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the normal + special replay 10 is won and the navigation stock lottery is not won, the navigation effect is a message such as "left middle right!" Or "left and right middle!", Or "right left middle!" Or "right". A message such as "middle left!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, the message reminiscent of the operation mode for stopping the target combination is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target combination. Therefore, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being aware of the type of the winning navigation target role.

The mode of the navigation effect is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode as long as the player can distinguish it according to the winning situation. Further, the navigation effect is not limited to the one displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed by using the effect LED 52, the speakers 53, 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the intentionally won promotion replay, special replay, bell winning, falling replay winning, and stoppage of the transition roll.

Next, the flow of control performed by the sub-control unit 91 with the transition of the AT will be described with reference to FIG.

The sub control unit 91 executes ART confirmation notification when one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery, and starts controlling the AT. After that, a special replay wins a prize, ART control is started by shifting from RT2 to RT3, the number of navigation stocks is subtracted by 1, and the initial number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is set as the actual number of remaining games. , The set number of actual remaining games is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as the number of remaining games.

In the game during ART, it is determined whether or not any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won for each game, and if any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won, the navigation stock lottery is performed. I do.

If Navistock is not won in the Navistock lottery in the game where either Normal + Special Replays 8 to 10 are won, a navigation effect is provided to notify the push order in which either Normal Replays 1 to 4 wins. Execute.

In addition, if the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are not won in the game during ART, or if any of the special replays 8 to 10 is won but the navigation stock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, 1 For each game, subtract the actual number of remaining games and the number of remaining displayed games by one game.

Then, when the number of remaining games displayed after subtraction becomes 0, and when the number of remaining games is not 0, the above-mentioned additional effect is executed based on the number of actual remaining games, and the range of the actual remaining games is ranged. Add the number of remaining games displayed in.

If the number of remaining games displayed after subtraction becomes 0 and the actual number of remaining games also becomes 0, it is determined whether or not the navigation stock remains, and if the navigation stock remains, the number of navigation stocks remains again. Is subtracted by 1, the initial number of games is set to the number of remaining games, and the number of remaining games is displayed as the number of remaining games to continue ART.

On the other hand, when the navigation stock does not remain, the AT control is terminated after the end notification for notifying the end of the series of ARTs is performed.

In addition, if one or more Navistocks are won in the Navistock lottery in the game in which either Normal + Special Replays 8 to 10 are won, the push order in which the special replays win, that is, the push order of 7 sets Execute the navigation effect to notify.

Then, it is determined whether or not the special replay has won a prize due to the execution of the navigation effect, and if the special replay has won a prize due to the execution of the navigation effect, the navigation stock winning notification is executed, and the actual number of remaining games and the remaining displayed games are executed. 10 games are added to each number, and an additional state lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control the additional state in which the remaining number of ART games can be expected to be added.

In addition, in the additional state lottery, even though the navigation stock lottery was won and the navigation effect was executed, the stop operation was performed in the push order that did not follow the navigation effect, and the special replay did not win. Not done, in this case returning to normal ART control.

In addition, the additional state lottery is a navigation stock lottery when the stop operation is performed in the push order that does not follow the navigation effect, that is, when the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won, even if the special replay wins during ART. Even if the navigation stock is not won and the special replay wins even though the navigation effect that informs the push order that the normal replays 1 to 4 win is executed, it is not performed, and even in this case, the normal ART Return to control.

That is, the additional state lottery is performed only when the navigation effect of notifying the push order in which the special replay wins the winning of the navigation stock lottery is executed and the special replay wins.

When the additional state lottery is won, the additional state winning flag is set in the RAM 91c, and then the number of actual remaining games and the number of remaining displayed games are both 1 for each game until the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 is reached. Subtract each game. At this time, 10 games, which is the maximum number of games up to the judgment game at the time of winning the special replay by winning the navigation stock, are added to the actual number of remaining games and the number of remaining displayed games, so the number of remaining games before reaching the judgment game. Will not be consumed altogether.

Then, when the additional state is won, that is, when the additional state winning flag is set, when the determination game is reached, a specific operation, that is, a MAXBET switch is performed in the period from the start of the game to any stop operation. Executes the specific operation request effect that prompts the operation of 6 10 times or more, and if the specific operation is performed before any of the stop operations is performed, the additional state winning notification indicating that the additional state has been won is executed. Then, from the next game, it will be controlled to the additional state. At this time, the freeze reservation flag is set along with the special replay winning on the main control unit 41 side, and a specific operation is performed in the subsequent determination game to control the freeze state described above in the game in which the additional state starts. Will be done.

After the addition state ends, the normal ART control is restored again. Further, when any of the stop operations is performed without performing the specific operation even though the specific operation request effect is executed, the additional state is not controlled and the control returns to the normal ART control. At this time, the freeze state described above is not controlled in the next game.

In addition, if a special replay is won along with the execution of the navigation effect and the additional state lottery is not won, a specific operation request lottery for determining whether or not to execute the specific operation request effect is further performed. In the specific operation request lottery, in addition to whether or not to execute the specific operation request effect, when executing the specific operation request effect, the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 out of 0 to 10 games at the time of winning the special replay. From the number of games other than the number of games up to, the number of any game is determined as the number of games up to the game (winning game) that executes the specific operation request effect.

Then, when it is decided in the specific operation request lottery to execute the specific operation request effect, the actual number of remaining games and the remaining display games for each game until the game (winning game) that executes the specific operation request effect is reached. Both numbers are subtracted one game at a time. At this time, 10 games, which is the maximum number of games up to the judgment game at the time of winning the special replay by winning the navigation stock, are added to the actual number of remaining games and the number of remaining displayed games, and a game for executing a specific operation request effect (winning game). Since the number of games up to is also determined within the range of the maximum number of games up to the judgment game, the total number of remaining games is not consumed by the time the game (winning game) that executes the specific operation request effect is reached.

Then, when the additional state is not won, that is, when the additional state winning flag is not set, when the game (winning game) for executing the specific operation request effect is reached, one of the stop operations is performed from the start of the game. In the period until the specific operation is performed, that is, the specific operation request effect for prompting the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 10 times or more is executed, and if the specific operation is performed before any of the stop operations is performed, the additional state is added. The additional state non-winning notification indicating the non-winning of is executed, and the control of the normal ART is returned. At this time, since it is not a determination game, it is not controlled to the freeze state described above in the next game. Further, even if any of the stop operations is performed without performing the specific operation even though the specific operation request effect is executed, the control returns to the normal ART control.

Even if the special replay wins, if the additional state is not won and the additional state winning flag is not set, that is, the navigation stock lottery is won and the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect to win the special replay. If the additional state lottery is not won, or if the navigation stock lottery is not won and the special replay is won by performing the stop operation without following the navigation effect, the freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side. However, even if the judgment game is reached after that, the specific operation request effect is not executed, and in such a case, it may be controlled to the freeze state as the specific operation is performed in the judgment game. It is becoming regulated.

As described above, in this embodiment, when any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won during ART and the navigation stock is won in the navigation stock lottery, as shown in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b). , The navigation effect that informs the push order that the special replay wins is executed, and the special replay wins the prize by the player performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, and the main control unit 41 side In, the freeze reservation flag is set, and the number of games up to the judgment game is determined. At this time, "Navistock & +10 GGET !!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the winning of the Navistock and the addition of 10 games are notified.

Then, when the additional state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay is won, as shown in FIG. 20A, from the start of the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 until any stop operation is performed. During the period of, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image prompting the MAXBET switch 6 to be operated a plurality of times and "continuous hitting !!" Is executed. Along with this, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more, the liquid crystal display 51 displays "Additional state GET !!", notifies that the additional state has been won, and the main control unit 41 side. In the next game, the freeze state is controlled to delay the activation of the bet number setting operation or the start operation, and the additional state is controlled from the next game.

On the other hand, if the additional state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay is not won and the specific operation request lottery is not won, the freeze state is controlled by not executing the specific operation request effect including the judgment game. Is becoming regulated.

In addition, if the special operation request lottery is won without winning the additional state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay, as shown in FIG. 20B, in a game other than the determination game determined by the main control unit 41. Yes Specific operation request During the period from the start of the game (winning game) that executes the specific operation request effect determined by the lottery until any stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display 51 has a plurality of MAXBET switches 6. An image prompting the operation of the times and "continuous hitting !!" are displayed, and a specific operation, that is, a specific operation request effect requesting a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6 is executed. Along with this, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more, "sorry" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, a notification that the additional state has not been won, and the freeze state is controlled. Nor. Further, also in this case, the control to the freeze state is regulated by not executing the specific operation request effect in the determination game.

In addition, if any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won during ART and the navigation stock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, the navigation effect that notifies the push order in which the normal replays 1 to 4 win. However, if the player performs the stop operation without following the notified push order, the special replay may win a prize as shown in FIG. 21. In this case, The liquid crystal display 51 displays "Please press according to the warning navigation!", And a warning screen prompting the stop operation according to the navigation effect is displayed. Even in such a case, if the special replay wins a prize, the freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side, and the number of games up to the judgment game is determined. By not executing the specific operation request effect in the determination game, it is regulated that the control to the freeze state is performed.

In this embodiment, when the special replay wins a prize, the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game in the subsequent game, and when such a certain event occurs, the subsequent game is subsequently controlled. In the configuration that controls the freeze state in the game, if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs and the configuration is such that the freeze state is always controlled in the subsequent game, the situation in which the freeze state is not desired to be controlled. Even so, it will be controlled to the frozen state.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 wins a special replay that triggers a freeze state, the period from the start of the subsequent determination game to the stop operation of any reel is the relevant period. Then, when a specific operation not related to the progress of the game (MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more) is performed, the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game in the next game, and even if a special replay is won, After the start of the subsequent determination game, the freeze state is not controlled unless a specific operation is performed during the period until the stop operation of any of the reels is performed. That is, when an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, it is controlled to the freeze state on the condition that a specific operation is performed at a specific timing thereafter, but even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs. If a specific operation is not performed at a specific timing after that, the freeze state is not controlled.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the push order in which the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won and the special replay wins, and the special replay is allowed to win. If the special replay wins and the additional state lottery is won, that is, in the situation where control to the additional state is permitted from the next game of the judgment game, after the start of the judgment game after the prize of the special replay, eventually In the period until the reel is stopped, the specific operation is performed by executing the specific operation request effect that requests the player to perform the specific operation and prompting the player to perform the specific operation. On the other hand, if the special replay wins a prize while ignoring the navigation effect even though the navigation effect that notifies the push order that the special replay does not win is executed, the navigation effect is executed. If the special replay wins but the additional state lottery is not won, that is, if control from the next game of the judgment game to the additional state is not permitted, the judgment game after winning the special replay starts. After that, the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted to the player until the stop operation of any of the reels is performed, and even if the special replay wins, it can be controlled to the frozen state. It is becoming regulated. That is, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, if the freeze state is permitted at a specific timing thereafter, a specific operation request effect is executed, and the game is advanced to the player at the specific timing. While it is possible to control the freeze state by prompting a specific operation that is not necessary to make it happen, even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, if the freeze state is not allowed at a specific timing thereafter. , The execution of the specific operation request effect can be regulated, and the control to the freeze state can be regulated by preventing the specific operation from being performed at the specific timing. At this time, since the specific operation is an operation not related to the progress of the game, it is effective that the specific operation is performed at the specific timing by restricting the execution of the specific operation request effect, that is, it is controlled to the freeze state. Can be regulated.

Further, in this embodiment, since a plurality of operations of the operation means not related to the progress of the game are applied as specific operations not related to the progress of the game, the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted. However, it is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled by erroneously performing a specific operation at a specific timing after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state.

In this embodiment, a plurality of operations of the operation means not related to the progress of the game are applied as specific operations not related to the progress of the game, but are related to the progress of the game as specific operations not related to the progress of the game. One operation of the operating means may be applied.

Further, in the present embodiment, the frozen state is controlled at the start of the additional state which is advantageous for the player. That is, the frozen state suggests a favorable situation for the player. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 is a game other than the determination game after winning the special replay when the special replay wins a prize due to the execution of the navigation effect but does not win the additional state lottery, that is, when the control to the additional state is not performed. A specific operation request effect may be executed during the period from the start of the operation until the stop operation of any of the reels is performed. In such a situation, even if the specific operation is performed, it is controlled to the frozen state in the next game. There is no such thing. In this way, in a configuration in which a situation advantageous for the player is suggested by the freeze state, it is possible to execute a specific operation request effect at a timing other than a specific timing after an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, and the freeze state occurs. Even in a situation where control of the state is not permitted, the player's expectation that the specific operation request effect is executed will be controlled to the frozen state, that is, the situation is advantageous to the player. Can be enhanced.

In this embodiment, the additional state is applied as an advantageous situation for the player, but it is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, ART, etc.) that is advantageous for the player other than the additional state, which is advantageous for the player. It corresponds to the fact that various benefits are given. Here, the advantageous state that is advantageous to the player means that the probability that the display result that is advantageous to the player is derived, the probability that the display result that is advantageous to the player is allowed to be derived is higher than the normal state, or the game It is a state that is advantageous to the player by notifying the operation mode for deriving the display result that is advantageous to the player. Further, in a configuration that is advantageous to the player by achieving the task by the end of the predetermined state, this predetermined state, that is, a state that is advantageous to the player by increasing the period is applied as an advantageous state. Is also good. In addition, the privilege that is advantageous to the player is the right to be able to shift to the advantageous state that is advantageous to the player (winning the lottery that determines whether or not the advantageous state occurs, and shifting to the advantageous state). The right to be notified of the operation mode for deriving the display result advantageous to the player, the right to be controlled to the game state where the expected value to be given the game value is high, the current It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as the right to be notified whether or not the game state is advantageous to the player, and it is not directly advantageous to the player, but for example, the Internet. It may be an indirectly advantageous privilege for the player, such as a condition for obtaining the privilege above.

Further, in this embodiment, when any of normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won and the stop operation is performed in the stop order corresponding to the corresponding selection, the special replay wins and the stop corresponding to the corresponding selection is performed. When the stop operation is performed in the stop order other than the order, the normal replays 1 to 4 win a prize, while the sub control unit 91 receives when any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won. Navistock lottery is performed, and when Navistock is won, a navigation effect is executed to notify the stop order in which the special replay wins, and when Navistock is not won, a navigation effect is executed to notify the stop order in which the normal replay wins. Then, when the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the special replay wins is executed and the special replay wins, it is allowed to control to the freeze state, and the specific operation request effect is executed in the subsequent judgment game. On the other hand, when a special replay wins a prize even though a navigation effect is executed to notify the stop order in which the normal replays 1 to 4 win, the control to the freeze state is not permitted, and in the subsequent judgment game. It is designed to regulate the execution of specific operation request effects. That is, when the special replay, which is an event that triggers the freeze state, is allowed, only when the operation mode for winning the special replay is notified, the special replay is allowed to be controlled to the freeze state by winning. While the specific operation request effect is executed at a specific timing after that, if the special replay wins a prize even though the operation mode for winning the special replay is not notified, the control to the freeze state is performed. It is designed to regulate the execution of the specific operation request effect at a specific timing after that without permission.

As a result, when the special replay that triggers the freeze state is allowed, whether or not the slot machine intentionally wins the special replay depending on whether or not the operation mode in which the special replay wins is notified. It is possible to control whether or not, and to allow the slot machine to control the freeze state only when the special replay is intentionally won, and to control the freeze state by executing the specific operation request effect at a specific timing thereafter. On the other hand, if the special replay wins even though the operation mode in which the special replay wins is not notified, that is, if the slot machine unintentionally wins the special replay, it is controlled to the frozen state. Is not allowed, and the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted at a specific timing after the special replay is won, so that even if the special replay is unintentionally won on the slot machine side, it will be controlled to the frozen state. Can be regulated.

Further, in the present embodiment, after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state, the specific operation that is a condition for controlling the freeze state is the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, and the timing other than the specific timing, that is, the setting operation of the number of bets. Since it is an operation for advancing the game as long as it can be accepted, the operation of the operation means originally provided for advancing the game can be used as a specific operation not related to the progress of the game, and is originally If there is, by setting the operation of the operation means as a specific operation during the period when the operation of the operation means is not accepted, an event that triggers a freeze state even though the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted. It is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled by erroneously performing a specific operation at a specific timing after the occurrence.

In this embodiment, the bet number setting operation can be accepted at a specific timing (the period from the start of the game until the stop operation of any reel is performed) when the bet number setting operation is not accepted. If there is, it is applied as a specific operation that the MAXBET switch 6 which is effective in the progress of the game is operated, but for example, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the period when the stop operation before the start of the game is not effective. The operation of the operation means other than the acceptable period of the operation means related to the progress of the game, such as the operation of the operation and the operation of the start switch 7 during the period when the start operation after the start of the game is not valid, is applied as a specific operation. If it is configured, the operation of the operating means originally provided for advancing the game can be used as a specific operation not related to the progress of the game, and the operation of the operating means is not normally accepted. By setting the operation of the operation means as a specific operation, even though the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted, the specific operation is erroneously performed at the specific timing of the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state. It can be prevented from being controlled to the frozen state.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a specific operation, the operation of the operation means other than the acceptable period of the operation means related to the progress of the game is applied, but the operation of the operation means not always related to the progress of the game is specified. It may be applied as an operation, and even with such a configuration, since the specific operation is an operation not related to the progress of the game, the specific operation is performed at a specific timing by restricting the execution of the specific operation request effect. That is, it can be effectively regulated to be controlled to a frozen state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the determination game after the special replay winning, which is an event that triggers the freeze state, that is, the game that is controlled to the freeze state by performing a specific operation in the game, is 0 to 10. It is randomly determined within the range of the game, and the period from the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state to the specific timing that will be controlled to the freeze state by performing a specific operation is randomly determined. Since it changes, it becomes difficult to specify a specific timing after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, and it is possible to prevent the slot machine side from being unintentionally controlled to the freeze state.

In this embodiment, as the specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state, the judgment game after the game, more specifically, after the start of the judgment game, until any reel is stopped. However, the specific timing may be the timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state. For example, the event that triggers the freeze state ends the game after the game starts. If it is an event that occurs before, the timing after the event occurs in the game in which the event occurred (after the internal lottery in the game in which the specific combination was won, if the winning of the specific combination is an event that triggers the freeze state). , The period until the stop operation of any of the reels is performed, etc.) may be applied as a specific timing.

Further, even in such a configuration, when the specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state changes randomly (for example, when the winning of the specific combination is the event that triggers the freeze state, the specific combination After the internal lottery in the winning game, the timing until the first stop operation is performed, the timing until the first stop operation is performed, the second stop operation is performed, the second stop operation is performed, and the third stop operation is performed. It is preferable to have a configuration in which a randomly determined timing is set as a specific timing among the timings up to the above), and this is controlled to the freeze state by performing a specific operation after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state. Since the period until the specific timing is randomly changed, it becomes difficult to specify the specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state, and the slot machine side is unintentionally controlled to the freeze state. It can be prevented from being stowed.

Further, in this embodiment, a special replay prize is applied as an event that triggers a freeze state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a specific stop mode other than the special replay is specified by an internal lottery. It is also possible that the winning combination is won, that the lottery that determines whether or not to control the freeze state is won, and that a plurality of of these conditions are satisfied.

Further, in this embodiment, as a freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period, a state in which the timing at which the operation related to the progress of the game becomes effective is delayed for a predetermined period is applied, but it becomes effective once. A state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period may be applied by invalidating the reception of the operation related to the progress of the game.

Further, in this embodiment, it is regulated that a specific operation is performed by not executing the specific operation request effect at a specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state, but the freeze state is triggered. It may be configured to regulate the specific operation by executing an effect that requests an operation other than the specific operation request at a specific timing after the occurrence of the event, and even in such a configuration, it is in a frozen state. Even if an event that triggers an event occurs, it is possible to regulate control to the frozen state as long as the frozen state is not permitted at a specific timing thereafter.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a specific operation is performed at a specific timing after an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the freeze state is controlled in the next game of the game in which the specific operation is performed. However, when a specific operation is performed at a specific timing after an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, the freeze state is controlled in a game after the game in which the specific operation is performed. Or, when a specific operation is performed at a specific timing after an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, the period until the game is controlled to the freeze state after the game in which the specific operation is performed changes randomly. It may be configured.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is suggested that the frozen state is controlled according to the character introduction period of the character selection effect described later at the start of the additional state advantageous for the player, that is, the start of the gaming state advantageous for the player. For example, a production that suggests that the current gaming state is an advantageous gaming state for the player (such as a high-probability state of the Navistock lottery), and a situation that is advantageous for the player (Navistock wins). It is also possible to control the freeze state according to the production other than the character selection production, such as the production that suggests the possibility of the situation (such as the situation) and the execution of the production that determines the advantageous situation for the player (so-called premier production). good.

Further, in a frozen state in which the reel stop operation during the progress of the game by the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is invalidated, the reel effect for changing the variation mode of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is also executed. good.

Further, in the present embodiment, when an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, an additional state that is advantageous to the player is won, and it is allowed to control the additional state at a specific timing thereafter. When the specific operation request effect is executed and the frozen state is controlled, but even if an event that triggers the frozen state occurs, the additional state advantageous to the player is not won and the control to the additional state is not allowed. In addition, the execution of the specific operation request effect at a specific timing after that is regulated, and the control of the freeze state is regulated. However, as described above, the current game state is advantageous for the player (navigation). If the configuration is such that the freeze state is controlled according to the effect suggesting that the stock lottery is in a high probability state, the game state is controlled to be advantageous to the player when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs. By doing so, the specific operation request effect is executed at a specific timing after that, and the freeze state is controlled. On the other hand, even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the game state is controlled to be advantageous to the player. If this is not the case, the execution of the specific operation request effect after that at a specific timing is restricted, and the control of the frozen state may be restricted.

In addition, it is controlled to a frozen state according to the production that suggests the possibility that the situation is advantageous for the player (the situation where Navistock is elected, etc.) and the production that determines the advantageous situation for the player (so-called premier production). If the configuration is such that, when an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, the execution of these effects is determined, and the execution of the effects is allowed, so that the specific operation request effect can be performed at a specific timing thereafter. It is executed and controlled to the freeze state, but even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, if the execution of these effects is not decided and the execution of the effect is not allowed, at a specific timing thereafter. The execution of the specific operation request effect of the above is regulated, and the control of the frozen state may be regulated.

In addition, when an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, a game state that is advantageous to the player is won, and even if control to the advantageous game state is allowed, a penalty is generated for the player. However, in the state where the control to the advantageous gaming state is regulated, the execution of the specific operation request effect at the subsequent specific timing may be regulated, and the control of the freeze state may be regulated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, determines the presence or absence of a specific operation at a specific timing thereafter, controls the freeze state, and the sub control unit 91 sets the freeze state. It is configured to determine whether to allow or not, and to control the execution of a specific operation request effect at a specific timing. Among the controls performed by these sub-control units 91, the main control unit determines whether or not to allow the freeze state. The configuration performed by 41 may be used. Further, as long as the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to allow the freeze state, the main control unit 41 may perform execution control of the specific operation request effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a special replay prize is won, that is, an event that the player can surely recognize occurs, a specific operation is performed at a specific timing thereafter, and the freeze state is controlled. However, it may be configured to be controlled to a freeze state by performing a specific operation at a specific timing thereafter when an event that the player cannot reliably recognize occurs.

Hereinafter, a modified example in which the player is controlled to the frozen state by performing a specific operation at a specific timing after the occurrence of an event that the player cannot reliably recognize will be described.

In this modification, the first lottery combination in which only the first combination of the first combination (for example, normal replay) and the second combination (for example, special replay) is allowed, and the first combination and the second combination. A second lottery combination is provided in which both of the combinations are allowed, and when the first lottery combination is won, the first combination is aligned by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode, while the second combination is available. When the lottery winning combination is won, the first combination is aligned by performing the stop operation in a specific operation mode, and the second combination is performed by performing the stop operation in a predetermined operation mode different from the specific operation mode. The roles are aligned.

Then, a configuration that prompts a specific operation mode (a navigation effect for notifying a specific operation mode is executed, or an operation mode other than the specific operation mode, particularly a predetermined operation mode, is not suitable for the player. Profit is generated, etc.), so that the first combination is aligned both when the first lottery combination is won and when the second lottery combination is won.

In addition, as an event that triggers the freeze state, the winning of the first lottery combination is not applied, the winning of the second lottery combination is applied, and the specific operation is performed at a specific timing after the winning of the second lottery combination. By doing so, it is controlled to the frozen state, and if a specific operation is not performed at a specific timing after the winning of the second lottery combination, the freeze state is not controlled even if the second lottery combination is won.

At this time, both the first winning combination will be aligned when the first lottery winning combination, which is not an event that triggers the freeze state, is won, and when the second lottery winning combination, which is an event that triggers the freeze state, is won. , Even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs or an event that does not trigger the freeze state occurs, the event that the player can recognize (the first combination is complete) triggers the freeze state. It is not possible to recognize whether or not the above-mentioned event has occurred, that is, whether or not it is controlled to the frozen state by performing a specific operation in the subsequent determination game.

As described above, in this modified example, since the player cannot reliably recognize the event that triggers the freeze state, even if an event that suggests the event that triggers the freeze state occurs, it is controlled to the freeze state. It becomes difficult to decide whether or not to do so.

According to such a configuration, as described above, in a configuration in which a situation advantageous for the player is suggested by the freeze state, an event that does not trigger the freeze state occurs, and an event that triggers the freeze state occurs. Even if a suggestive event occurs, the player's expectation that it will be controlled to the frozen state by executing the specific operation request effect at the subsequent specific timing, that is, that the situation is advantageous for the player, can be obtained. Can be enhanced.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the sub-control unit 91 wins a special replay during ART and wins an additional state lottery to control the additional state. At this time, the sub control unit 91 controls a plurality of types of additional states having different playability. More specifically, in the character selection effect described later, which is executed at the start of the additional state, the player controls the additional state of the playability according to the type of the character selected by the operation of the player.

In this embodiment, the plurality of types of additional states are composed of three types: an additional state corresponding to character A, an additional state corresponding to character B, and an additional state corresponding to character C, and the number of games that can be expected to be added in the additional state. The expected value (mean value) does not change, but the deviation of the number of games from the expected value differs depending on the type.

As will be described later, the additional lottery 2 for determining whether or not to add the number of ART games and the number of games to be added is executed in each game in the added state, and the type of the added state is selected in the games other than the final game in the added state. The winning probability of the number of games to be added differs accordingly.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), in the additional lottery 2 in games other than the final game, the winning probability of 20 games is set to 100% in the additional state corresponding to the character A, and the character B has the winning probability. In the corresponding additional state, the winning probability of 10 games is set to 50%, the winning probability of 30 games is set to 50%, and in the additional state corresponding to character C, 0 games are 50% and 40 games are 50%. It is set.

In this way, in any of the additional state corresponding to the character A, the additional state corresponding to the character B, and the additional state corresponding to the character C, it is based on the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 in the game other than the final game. The average number of additional games is 20 games, which are the same, but the deviation of the number of additional games based on the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 in games other than the final game (maximum or minimum that can be won). The difference between the number of additional games and the average number of additional games) is different, 0 in the additional state corresponding to character A, 10 in the additional state corresponding to character B, and the additional state corresponding to character C. In the case, it becomes 20. That is, the deviation of the number of additional games based on the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 in the games other than the final game is set in the order of characters A, B, and C.

Further, in the present embodiment, depending on the type of the additional state, factors other than the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 in the game other than the final game, that is, in the additional lottery 1 described later performed at the start of the additional state. Since there is no difference in the winning probability of the number of additional games (see FIG. 27 (a)) and the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 in the final game (see FIG. 27 (a)), other than the final game described above. Since the deviation based on the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional game 2 is different depending on the type of the additional state, the additional state corresponding to any of the characters A, B, and C is in the additional state. The average number of games added does not change, but the deviation of the number of games added increases in the order of characters A, B, and C. The smaller the deviation of the number of games added, the closer the number of games actually added tends to be closer to the average, and conversely, the larger the deviation, the more the number of games actually added is different from the average. It will be easier.

For this reason, when the player selects character A, the most stable playability, that is, the addition of a large number of games compared to the average cannot be expected, but the addition of the number of games is significantly lower than the average. It is possible to play games with less likely playability, and when the player selects character C, it is expected that the playability will be rough, that is, a significantly larger number of games will be added compared to the average. Although it is possible, on the other hand, it is possible to play the game with a playability in which the addition of the number of games may be significantly lower than the average, and when the player selects the character B, the playability of the character A and the character It is possible to play games with the playability between the playability of C, that is, the addition of a slightly larger number of games than the average, but the addition of the number of games may be slightly below the average. Become.

As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to select the type of the additional state in which the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the additional state is different depending on the player's selection, and the player is expected to add in the additional state. A game with a relatively large deviation in the number of games that can be played, that is, a high-risk / high-return game, and a game with a relatively small deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, a low-risk / low-return game. It is possible to select the game playability according to the player's preference from a plurality of game playability including sex.

Also, even if the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state differs depending on the type of the added state, the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is the same regardless of the type of the added state. However, no matter what type of additional state the player selects, the advantage is not affected, and the result of selecting the type of additional state does not become unfair.

In this embodiment, the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is the same regardless of the type of the added state, but even if they are not completely the same, the added state is added regardless of the type of the added state. If the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the state is approximately the same (about + -1% or less), it will not be unfair depending on the result of selecting the type of added state in the same manner as above. ..

Further, in this embodiment, the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is the same or omitted regardless of the type of the added state, based on the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 in the game other than the final game. It is the same, and the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is different depending on the type of the added state, but at least the average of the advantages of the added state is the same or omitted regardless of the type of the added state. It suffices if the configuration is the same and the deviation of the advantage of the added state is different depending on the type of the added state. For example, the average of the advantages of the added state is calculated based on the winning probability of the navigation stock lottery during the added state. It may be the same or substantially the same regardless of the type of the added state, and the deviation of the advantage of the added state may be different depending on the type of the added state.

Further, in this embodiment, the number of games is applied as the end condition of ART, and the number of games of ART can be expected to be added in the added state, but the planned payout number and the planned net increase number are applied as the end condition of ART. In the case, that is, when the total number of payouts during ART exceeds the planned payout number or the net increase number during ART exceeds the planned net increase number as the termination condition, the planned payout number or the planned net increase number is added. A lottery is conducted to determine the number of additional states, and the average of the advantages of the added state is the same or substantially the same regardless of the type of the added state based on the winning probability at that time, and the deviation of the advantage of the added state is ART. It may be configured to be different depending on the type of.

Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to select the type of the added state in the added state where the number of ART games which is advantageous for the player can be expected to be added, and the average number of games that can be expected to be added can be selected regardless of the type of the added state. It is the same or substantially the same, and the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is different depending on the type of the added state, but the type of the advantageous state in the advantageous state such as ART which is advantageous for the player. The average of the advantage of the advantageous state (the number of games that can be expected to be added in the advantageous state, the number of navigation stocks, the planned number of payouts, the planned net increase number, etc.) is the same or substantially the same regardless of the type of advantageous state. In addition, the deviation of the advantage of the advantageous state may be different depending on the type of the advantageous state, and even in such a configuration, the type of the advantageous state having a different deviation of the advantage can be selected depending on the player's selection. Therefore, the player has a game property in which the deviation of the advantage of the advantageous state is relatively large, that is, a game property of high risk and high return, and a game property in which the deviation of the advantage of the advantageous state is relatively small. That is, it is possible to select the playability according to the player's preference from a plurality of playability including the low-risk / low-return playability, and even if the deviation of the advantage depends on the type of the advantageous state, the advantageous state Since the average of the advantages is the same regardless of the type of, no matter what type of advantageous state the player selects, the advantage is not affected, and it is unfair depending on the result of selecting the type of advantageous state. It never becomes.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a character selection effect for selecting any of the characters A, B, and C at the start of the addition state.

Depending on the characters A, B, and C selected in the character selection effect, the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 changes in the subsequent addition state, and the effect content changes, and the character is selected as described above. Since the character selection effect is controlled to an additional state in which the playability differs depending on the character, the character selection effect is not only an effect for selecting the effect content but also an effect for selecting the playability.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the flow of the character selection effect.

When the start condition of the additional state is satisfied (when a specific operation is performed in the determination game after the special replay winning), the sub control unit 91 performs a character selection effect after the end of the game in which the start condition of the additional state is satisfied. Start.

The character selection effect is composed of a character introduction period that introduces each character and the contents of the corresponding playability, and a character selection period that allows the character to be actually selected. Control over the period.

During the character introduction period, as shown in FIGS. 23 (a) to 23 (c), each character introduction screen is displayed in the order of character A, character B, and character C for a certain period of time (3 seconds in this embodiment). It is displayed on the display 51.

On the introduction screen of the character A, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), the image of the character A, the "stable type" which is the playability corresponding to the character A, and the additional lottery in the additional state corresponding to the character A. As a feature of 2, "Be sure to add 20 games!" Is displayed, and on the introduction screen of the character B, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), the image of the character B and the playability corresponding to the character B " "Balanced type" and "Additional 10 or 30 games!" Are displayed as features of the additional lottery 2 in the additional state corresponding to the character B, and on the introduction screen of the character C, as shown in FIG. 23 (c). The image of the character C, the "rough wave type" which is the playability corresponding to the character C, and "0 or 40 game addition!" Are displayed as the features of the addition lottery 2 in the addition state corresponding to the character C.

Next, when the display of all the introduction screens of the characters A, B, and C is finished in the character introduction period, the character selection period is started.

During the character selection period, as shown in FIGS. 23 (d) to 23 (f), the character selection screen of character A having the smallest deviation in the number of games added in the added state (an image prompting a decision operation is added to the character introduction screen). The screen) is displayed first, and then the character selection screens of character B and character C are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 while being switched at regular intervals. After displaying the character selection screen of character C, the screen returns to the character selection screen of character A again, and a loop is performed until any character is selected.

Then, if the display of the character selection screens of characters A, B, and C is looped and the replaying combination has not won in the immediately preceding game, the number of bets is set by inserting a medal or operating the MAXBET switch 6. When the operation is specified, the type of character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state, and if the replay combination has won a prize in the immediately preceding game, the MAXBET switch. When the operation of 6 is specified or the start operation of the next game is specified, the type of the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state.

Then, the confirmed character type is set in the RAM 91c, and the effect corresponding to the character type set in the RAM 91c is executed in the subsequent addition state.

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 26, a unique battle effect is executed during the additional state in which a character corresponding to the character type set in the RAM 91c appears. FIG. 26 shows a display mode of the liquid crystal display 51 by a battle effect corresponding to the character C, and in the battle effect corresponding to the character A, the display mode is such that the character A appears in place of the character C, and the character B In the battle effect corresponding to, the display mode is such that the character B appears in place of the character C.

Further, in the additional state, as described above, the additional lottery 2 is performed with the winning probability corresponding to the type of the character set in the RAM 91c in each game other than the final game.

Then, once the character type is selected and confirmed in the character selection effect, it cannot be changed to another character until the addition state ends.

Further, when an error state occurs during execution of the character selection effect, that is, when an error command indicating the start of the error state is received from the main control unit 41, the error notification effect is executed, and then the error state is displayed. When receiving an error command indicating cancellation and returning the character selection effect, if the error state starts during the character introduction period, restart from the character A introduction screen and restart the character B and C introduction screens. If the error state starts during the character selection period, the character selection screen is restarted from the character A selection screen, and the character selection screens of A, B, and C are looped again. It will be.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the main control unit 41 inserts medals or inserts medals immediately after the game ends when none of the winning combinations are won except in certain cases, or when a small winning combination is won. While the operation of setting the number of bets by operating the MAXBET switch 6 is effective, when the special replay is won, in the period from the start of the subsequent judgment game to the stop operation of any of the reels. When a specific operation (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 10 times or more) is performed, no winning combination is won in the determination game, or a small winning combination is won, as shown in FIG. 24 (a). In addition, after winning the prize, the freeze state is controlled so as to delay the activation of the bet number setting operation for the same time as the time required for the character introduction period constituting the character selection effect described later. Since the bet number setting operation is invalidated during the period until the end, the medal is returned even if a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated during this period, and the bet number setting operation by the MAXBET switch 6 is valid. It will not be accepted and the number of bets will not be set.

On the other hand, as described above, the character selection effect is executed when the start condition of the additional state is satisfied, that is, when a specific operation is performed in the determination game after the special replay winning, but after the special replay winning. At the end of the game in which the specific operation is performed in the judgment game, the frozen state is controlled for the same time as the character introduction period. Therefore, even if a medal is inserted during the character introduction period, the inserted medal is returned and the MAXBET switch 6 is turned on. Even if it is operated, it is not accepted as a valid bet number setting operation, the bet number is not set, the character displayed at that time is not fixed, and the character introduction period continues. It will be.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 automatically sets the same number of bets as the previous game immediately after the end of the game when the re-game combination wins, except in certain cases as described above. Then, the start operation of the next game becomes effective, but when the special replay wins, a specific operation (MAXBET) is performed during the period from the start of the subsequent judgment game to the stop operation of any reel. When the switch 6 is operated 10 times or more) and the re-game combination wins in the judgment game, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), immediately after winning, the same number of bets as in the previous game is placed. Although it is automatically set, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation for the same time as the time required for the character introduction period that constitutes the character selection effect described later, and the freeze state is set. Since the start operation is invalidated during the period until the end, even if the start operation is performed during this period, the start operation is not effectively accepted and the game does not start.

On the other hand, as described above, the character selection effect is executed when the start condition of the additional state is satisfied, that is, when a specific operation is performed in the determination game after the special replay winning, but after the special replay winning. Since the game is controlled to freeze for the same period as the character introduction period at the end of the game in which the specific operation is performed in the judgment game, even if the start switch 7 is operated during the character introduction period, it is not accepted as an effective start operation. The game will not start, and the character displayed at that time will not be fixed, and the character introduction period will continue. In the character introduction period, the character displayed at that time is not fixed even if the MAXBET switch 6 is operated in addition to the start operation, and the character introduction period continues.

That is, during the character introduction period, the character selection operation becomes invalid, and after shifting to the character selection period, the character displayed at that time is selected by operating the MAXBET switch 6, starting operation, or setting the bet number. Is possible.

Further, when an error occurs during the period when the main control unit 41 controls the freeze state and the error state is controlled, the main control unit 41 does not care about the time when the error is controlled before the error after the error is restored. , It is designed to control the freeze state again for the same time as the character introduction period from the time of return. On the other hand, if an error occurs in the middle of the character introduction period and the sub-control unit is controlled to the error state, the sub-control unit starts the character introduction period from the beginning, that is, from the character introduction screen corresponding to the character A after the error is restored. Even after returning from the error, the character selection operation becomes invalid during the character introduction period, and after shifting to the character selection period, it is performed by operating the MAXBET switch 6, starting operation, or setting the number of bets. It is possible to select the character displayed at the time.

In this embodiment, as described above, a plurality of types of character selection screens are sequentially switched at regular time intervals during the character selection period of the character selection effect at the start of the additional state, and the character selection screen corresponding to the desired character by the player. By performing the determination operation while is displayed, it is possible to select one of the characters from a plurality of characters. On the other hand, the number of games that can be expected to be added corresponding to a plurality of types of characters, that is, the types of additional states having different deviations in the advantage of the added state are determined, and the player selects a character thereafter. It is possible to select the type of additional state in which the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added is different in the additional state, and the player can play with a relatively large deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the additional state, that is, High-risk, high-return gameplay, gameplay with a relatively small deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, multiple gameplays including low-risk, low-return gameplay, according to the player's preference. You can select the playability.

However, in such a configuration, as a result of the player performing an appropriate operation without understanding the relationship between the character and the playability, a character corresponding to the low-stability, high-risk, high-return playability is selected. If this happens, the number of games may not be added in the subsequent addition state, and in such a case, the interest may be reduced.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the character selection screen of the character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state during the character selection period in which the character can be selected in the character selection effect is displayed. It is displayed first, and then the character selection screen is switched in the order of character B and character C, and even if the player unintentionally performs a determination operation after the start of the character selection period, the addition state is provided. Since the character corresponding to the game playability with the smallest deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added, that is, the game playability with the highest stability is selected, the player does not understand the playability and has a high risk of low stability. It is possible to prevent the selection of high-return playability.

In addition, if an error occurs during the character selection period, the character B and C selection screens are displayed at the time of the error state when returning to the character selection period after canceling the error. Even so, after returning, the game resumes from the character selection screen of character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, and then the characters B and C are sequentially ordered. The selection screen is switched, and even if the player unintentionally performs a decision operation after returning from the error state, the game playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, Since the character corresponding to the most stable playability is selected, it is possible to prevent the player from selecting the low-stability, high-risk, high-return playability without understanding the playability. It has become.

Further, in the present embodiment, the character corresponding to the character selection screen displayed at that time is selected by performing the bet number setting operation or the start operation, that is, the operation for advancing the game during the character selection period. The character can be selected and the game can be progressed without performing an operation separately from the game progress operation. On the other hand, in the case of such a configuration, as a result of the player performing a bet number setting operation or a start operation in order to advance the game without recognizing it as a character selection operation, the player unintentionally selects a character. However, as described above, the character selection screen of character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state during the character selection period is displayed first. , Even if the player unintentionally advances the game after the start of the character selection period by setting the bet number or starting the game, the game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state. Since the character corresponding to the sex, that is, the most stable game playability is selected, it is possible to prevent the player from selecting the low-stability, high-risk, high-return game playability without understanding the game playability. You can do it.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the character selection effect is performed, if the replaying combination has not won in the immediately preceding game, the number of bets is set by inserting a medal or operating the MAXBET switch 6. If the type of character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state and the replay combination is won in the immediately preceding game, is the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 specified? When the start operation of the next game is specified, the type of the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state.

That is, if the re-game combination wins in the immediately preceding game, the MAXBET switch 6 is not activated and only the start operation is valid, but if the re-game combination does not win (whether the small role has won). , If none of the winning combinations are won), the MAXBET switch 6 will be activated, but in any case, the type of character will be selected by operating the MAXBET switch 6. It has become. Therefore, regardless of the type of winning combination in the previous game or whether or not the winning combination is won, the character type is selected by performing a common operation, and the player mistakenly selects the unintended character type. You can prevent it from being selected.

In this embodiment, when performing the character selection effect, the MAXBET switch 6 is a common operation for selecting the character type regardless of the type of winning combination in the immediately preceding game or whether or not the winning combination is won. However, the above effect can be obtained if the character is selected by a common operation regardless of the type of winning combination or whether or not the winning combination is won in the previous game. Yes, for example, the start operation may be applied as a common operation for selecting the type of character regardless of the type of winning combination in the immediately preceding game or whether or not the winning combination is won.

Further, in the present embodiment, when any character is selected in the character selection effect, not only the playability corresponding to the selected character but also the character corresponding to the selected character type appears. The battle effect to be performed is executed, and it is possible to recognize which character is set during the addition state, that is, which type of addition state is controlled.

In this embodiment, the type of the additional state is suggested by executing the battle effect in which the character corresponding to the selected character type appears, but at least the player selects the character during the additional state. If the configuration suggests the type of the added character, that is, the type of the added state, which character is set during the added state, that is, which type of the added state is controlled, as described above. For example, the lighting color and lighting mode of the LED, the BGM output from the speaker, and the like may indicate the type of the additional state.

Further, in the present embodiment, once a character is selected in the character selection effect at the start of the addition state, it cannot be changed to another character in the addition state, but before the addition state ends, for example, The character may be selected again by pressing and holding the effect switch 56, that is, the playability in the added state may be selected. In such a configuration, once a character is selected, it is preferable that the character cannot be changed until the prohibition period (for example, 3 games) elapses, whereby any character can be selected once. If selected, it is necessary to digest the added state with the playability corresponding to the character at least until the prohibition period elapses, so the importance of selecting the character, that is, the playability of the added state increases in the character selection effect. As a result, it is possible to enhance the interest in character selection production.

Further, in the present embodiment, the character selection screen corresponding to a plurality of types of characters is automatically switched and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at regular time intervals in the character selection effect, and one of these character selection screens is displayed. In this state, the character corresponding to the character selection screen displayed at that time is selected by performing the determination operation (setting operation of bet number, operation of MAXBET switch 6 or start operation). For example, a plurality of characters are displayed, one character is displayed in a specific mode different from other characters, and characters in a specific mode are sequentially switched and displayed at regular intervals, and a determination operation is performed. Then, a character corresponding to the character selection screen displayed at that time may be selected, and even in such a configuration, it is added as a character to be displayed in a specific mode at the beginning after the transition to the character selection period. Character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the state is first displayed in a specific mode, and then the characters in the specific mode are sequentially switched in the order of character B and character C. By setting this, even if the player unintentionally performs a determination operation after the start of the character selection period, the game playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, the highest stability. Since the character corresponding to the playability is selected, it is possible to prevent the player from selecting the low-stability, high-risk, high-return playability without understanding the gameplay.

Further, in the character selection effect, the player can arbitrarily change a plurality of types of character selection screens by performing a change operation different from the decision operation, and corresponds to the character selection screen displayed at the time of the decision operation. It may be configured to select a character, and even in such a configuration, as the character selection screen displayed first after the transition to the character selection period, the game playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state. By displaying the character selection screen of the corresponding character A and making it possible to change to the character selection screen corresponding to the character B or C by performing the change operation in this state, the player after the start of the character selection period Even if the character unintentionally performs the determination operation, the character corresponding to the game playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, the game playability with the highest stability is selected. It is possible to prevent the player from selecting a high-risk, high-return game with low stability without understanding the game.

In addition, a plurality of characters are displayed, one character is displayed in a specific mode different from other characters, and the player performs a change operation different from the determination operation in the character selection effect to display the character in a specific mode. The character to be displayed may be arbitrarily changed, and the character displayed at the time of the determination operation may be selected. Even in such a configuration, the character is added in the first addition state after the transition to the character selection period. Character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected is displayed identifiablely, and by performing a change operation in this state, it is possible to change to character B or character C, so that the character selection period Even if the player unintentionally performs a decision operation after the start of, the character corresponding to the game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, the most stable game is selected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from selecting a high-risk, high-return game with low stability without understanding the game.

Further, in this embodiment, the start operation for advancing the game, the setting operation for the number of bets, and the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 unrelated to the progress of the game are applied as the determination operation when determining the character. The operation of the start switch 7 in a state unrelated to the progress of the game, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the production switch 56, and the operation of the switches provided only for the production are applied as the determination operation. Is also good.

Further, in the present embodiment, the character selection effect is composed of a character introduction period for introducing each character and the contents of the corresponding playability, and a character selection period for which the character can be actually selected. , A configuration consisting of only the character selection period, that is, a configuration in which the character can be selected at the same time as the character selection effect. By displaying the character selection screen of character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest expected deviation in the number of games, and then switching the character selection screen in the order of character B and character C, the character selection effect can be produced. Even if the player unintentionally performs a determination operation after the start, the character corresponding to the game playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, the most stable game playability is selected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from selecting a high-risk, high-return game with low stability without understanding the game.

Further, in this embodiment, when the special replay is won, a specific operation (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 10 times or more) is performed during the period from the start of the subsequent determination game to the stop operation of any reel. If this is done, after the end of the determination game, the main control unit 41 controls the game to a freeze state that invalidates the reception of the start operation for the same time as the character introduction period. However, as described above, the character selection effect In a configuration consisting of only a character selection period, it is not necessary to provide a configuration for controlling the freeze state.

Further, in this embodiment, an additional state is applied as a gaming state in which the deviation of the advantage varies depending on the type of character selected by the player, that is, a gaming state in which the number of ART games can be expected to be increased more than during normal ART. However, it is not limited to the added state, but at least it is sufficient if the game state has a difference in the deviation of the advantage according to the type of the character selected by the player, and the probability of winning a specific role is higher than usual, and the game More game value than usual by being notified of information that is advantageous to the player, such as an operation mode for deriving a stop mode that is advantageous to the player (a winning mode or a non-winning mode). You may apply the gaming state in which you can expect to acquire, for example, the ART in this embodiment, that is, the gaming state or small in which the winning probability of the re-game combination is higher than usual and the winning probability of the small combination is higher than usual. A bonus game in which the winning probability of the winning combination is increased may be applied as a gaming state in which the deviation of the advantage is different depending on the type of the character selected by the player. Further, it is not always necessary to be in a gaming state in which more gaming value can be expected to be acquired than usual.

In this embodiment, as described above, in the character selection effect at the start of the added state, a plurality of types of character selection screens are sequentially switched at regular intervals, and a character selection screen corresponding to the desired character is displayed by the player. It is possible to select one of the characters from a plurality of characters by performing the determination operation in the state of being in the state, and the game playability of the added state after that depends on the selected character, but it is not necessarily a game. The person does not always understand the playability and the content of the effect according to the character and perform the decision operation, and the decision operation is performed without grasping the playability and the content of the effect corresponding to the character selected by the player. By doing so, there is a possibility that the player's unintended playability and direction will be determined.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the character selection effect is composed of a character introduction period for introducing each character and the contents of the corresponding playability, and a character selection period for which the character can be actually selected. After starting the character selection effect, first introduce each character and the content of the corresponding playability in the character introduction period, then shift to the character selection period and actually select the character, so the character selection effect It is possible to inform the characters that can be selected and the contents of the corresponding playability in. Since the determination operation is invalidated during the character introduction period, the character is not determined even if the determination operation is performed during the character introduction period, and the character and the content of the corresponding playability can be displayed. It is possible to prevent the character from being determined without knowing it, and the player's unintended production of the content being executed, or the player's unintended playability addition state being executed.

In addition, if an error occurs during the character introduction period, when returning to the character introduction period after canceling the error, even if it is in the middle of the character introduction period at the time of the error state, after returning. , It restarts from the beginning of the character introduction period, and after that, after all the character introduction screens are displayed, it shifts to the character selection period, and even after returning from the error state, it can be selected by the character selection effect. Characters and the contents of the corresponding playability can be made known. Since the determination operation is invalidated even in the character introduction period after the error is returned, the character is not determined even if the determination operation is performed in the character introduction period, and the character and the corresponding game It is possible to prevent the character from being determined without knowing the content of the sexuality, the effect of the content not intended by the player being executed, or the addition state of the playability not intended by the player being executed.

Further, in this embodiment, until the character introduction screen corresponding to all the characters that can be selected in the subsequent character selection period is displayed for a certain period of time in the character introduction period, that is, all the selectable characters and the characters are supported. Since the determination operation is invalidated until the content of the playability is introduced, all the characters that can be selected in the subsequent character selection period and the character are selected without knowing the content of the playability corresponding to the character. It can be prevented from being stored.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the character selection screen displayed at that time is displayed by performing the bet number setting operation or the start operation, that is, the operation for advancing the game during the character selection period. The character corresponding to is selected, and the character can be selected and the game can be progressed without performing an operation separately from the game progress operation. On the other hand, in the case of such a configuration, the player unintentionally selects a character as a result of performing a bet number setting operation or a start operation in order to advance the game without recognizing it as a character selection operation. However, by controlling the freeze state during the character introduction period, the bet number setting operation and the start operation are invalidated, so that the player unintentionally advances the game. It is possible to prevent the player from unintentionally selecting a character even when the setting operation or the start operation of is performed.

In this embodiment, by selecting one of a plurality of types of characters in the character selection effect at the start of the added state, the game playability in the subsequent added state is selected, but the game playability is not necessarily the same. Not limited to the one that selects, for example, from multiple types of production contents that differ in the frequency of specific productions that suggest characters, motifs, special role winning, ART winning, general role winning, etc. It may be configured to select the type of production content. In this case, the trigger for executing the character selection effect is not limited to the start of the game state in which the game performance and the effect content corresponding to the character are applied. Further, in the configuration in which the game playability is selected, it is not always necessary to perform different effects according to the game playability, and only the game playability differs depending on the selected character or the like, while the common effect contents are applied. It may be configured.

Further, even in the configuration in which the effect content is simply selected by the character selection effect, after the character introduction period ends, one of the characters corresponding to the plurality of types of effect content in the character selection period corresponds to a predetermined character. It is preferable to display the character selection screen first, and as a result, the character that can be selected first is fixed after the character introduction period, so that the player mistakenly selects an unintended character. Can be prevented. In addition, even after the end of the error state that occurred during the character selection period, the character selection screen corresponding to one predetermined character among the characters corresponding to a plurality of types of effect contents is displayed first in the character selection period. This is preferable, and as a result, the character that can be selected first is fixed after the character introduction period, so that it is possible to prevent the player from accidentally selecting an unintended character.

Further, in such a configuration, it is preferable that the character selection screens are displayed in the order of introduction during the character introduction period, which makes it more effective for the player to mistakenly select an unintended character. Can be prevented.

Further, as described above, when the re-game combination wins in the immediately preceding game, the MAXBET switch 6 is not activated and only the start operation is valid, while the re-game combination does not win. The MAXBET switch 6 is enabled when a small role is won or none of the roles are won. However, even in a configuration in which the production content is simply selected by the character selection effect, the effect content is selected. Regardless of whether or not the replaying combination has won a prize in the immediately preceding game, it is preferable that a common operation (for example, MAXBET switch 6) is performed to select the character type, thereby selecting the immediately preceding game. Regardless of the type of winning combination or whether or not the winning combination is won, the character type will be selected by performing a common operation, and the player will mistakenly select the unintended character type. Can be prevented.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the character introduction period, after the character introduction screen corresponding to all the characters that can be selected in the subsequent character selection period is displayed, the character introduction period is entered and any character can be selected. However, after the character introduction period corresponding to the character A, the character selection period corresponding to the character A is started, and then the character introduction period corresponding to the character B and the character selection corresponding to the character B are sequentially performed. A configuration in which the period, the character introduction period corresponding to the character C, and the character selection period corresponding to the character C are shifted in this order, that is, the character introduction period and the character selection period may be sequentially switched for each character. By adopting such a configuration, the effect content for the character is introduced immediately before the character that can be selected during the character selection period, so that the character is selected in a state where the effect content of the character to be selected is accurately grasped. It becomes possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, the character introduction period is controlled only in the character selection effect at the start of the additional state, and the determination operation is invalidated during that period. However, as described above, the character selection effect is performed after the start of the additional state. In the configuration in which the above can be performed, the character selection effect may be controlled during the character introduction period, and the determination operation may be invalidated during that period. Further, in such a configuration, an operation not related to the progress of the game may be applied as the determination operation, and the determination operation may be invalidated during the character introduction period.

Further, for example, after being controlled to the frozen state at the start of the additional state, each time the number of games reaches a predetermined number, the freeze state is controlled for the same time as the character introduction period, and after the start of the additional state. By executing the character selection effect every time the predetermined number of games is reached, the character determination operation and the start operation are invalidated during the character introduction period of the character selection effect. The operation may be invalidated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 manages the additional state, but the main control unit 41 manages the additional state, and when one set of the additional state is completed, the division in the additional state is performed. In the game, by controlling the freeze state for the same time as the character introduction period and executing the character selection effect after the end of the game of the break, the operation of setting the number of bets and the start in the character introduction period of the character selection effect By invalidating the operation, the character determination operation may be invalidated.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs an additional state lottery when any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won during ART and the special replay wins along with the execution of the navigation effect, and the additional state lottery is performed. By winning, it is controlled to be added.

As shown in FIG. 25, in the additional state, the additional lottery 1 is first executed, and the number of games in the additional state (10 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c.

In the additional lottery 1, as shown in FIG. 27A, the number of games to which any one of 10G, 30G, 50G, 100G, 150G, 200G, 250G, and 300G is added is determined.

After that, the additional lottery 2 is executed for each game until the number of remaining games in the additional state becomes 0. In the additional lottery 2, as described above, in games other than the final game, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), 0G, 10G, 20G, and 30G have a probability according to the character selected by the player at the start of the additional state. , 40G is determined as the number of games to be added, and in the final game in the added state, any of 50G, 100G, 150G, 200G, 250G, and 300G games is determined as shown in FIG. 27 (a). Determined as the number of games to which the number is added. In addition, the average value of the number of winning games differs depending on whether it is a final game other than the final game in the added state, and in the latter case, the average value of the number of winning games is set to be higher than in the former case. There is.

Further, in each game in the added state, the battle effect shown in FIG. 26, that is, the effect corresponding to the character selected at the start of the added state (in FIG. 26, the effect corresponding to the character C) is executed. In the battle production, as shown in FIG. 26A, the start screen of the battle production is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the same time as the start of the game, and the additional number of games is won in the additional lottery 2 in the game except for the final game. If not, the defeat pattern shown in FIGS. 26 (b) and 26 (c) (the pattern in which the ally character is finally defeated) is executed, and the number of games is added in the additional lottery 2 in the game except for the final game. If the player has won, the winning pattern shown in FIGS. 26 (d) (e) or 26 (f) to (h) is executed.

The winning patterns include the winning patterns (normal) shown in FIGS. 26 (d) and 26 (e) and the winning patterns (special) shown in FIGS. 26 (f) to (h), and the winning patterns (special) are added lottery. If the number of games of 30G or more is won in 2, it is executed with a probability of 1/2.

In the defeat pattern and victory pattern (normal), only the result of victory or defeat (if defeated, additional non-winning, if winning, additional winning) is suggested, and even if the winning pattern (normal) is executed, the number of winning games is On the other hand, in the victory pattern (special), the number of winning games is displayed in addition to the result of winning or losing, and the number of winning games can be specified. That is, when the victory pattern (special) is executed, the number of games won in the game can be specified, but when the victory pattern (normal) is executed, the number of games won in the game cannot be specified. It has become.

Further, in the final game, the battle effect is executed based on the number of games determined in the additional lottery 2 plus the number of games determined in the additional lottery 1, that is, the first additional lottery executed in the additional state. ..

In the additional lottery 1 and the additional lottery 2 of the final game, 10G or more is always won, so in the final game, the winning pattern is always executed.

Then, in the final game, when the total value of the number of games won in the additional lottery 1 and the number of games won in the additional lottery 2 is 30 G or more, the victory pattern (special) is executed with a probability of 1/2.

Further, during the period controlled to the added state, as shown in FIG. 26, the result of victory or defeat in each game is displayed on a part of the liquid crystal display 51 as the history of the added state. In the case of a defeat pattern, "x" is displayed, in the case of a victory pattern (normal), "○" is displayed, and in the case of a victory pattern (special), the number of winning games is displayed.

Then, in the final game in the added state, at the end of the game (battle effect), the number of games based on the number of games won in the added state is notified, and the notified number of games is added to the remaining number of displayed games. Execute.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to perform an additional lottery 2 for determining the number of games to be added for each game in the additional state consisting of a plurality of games, and to determine the additional number of games for each game. There is.

Then, in the additional lottery 2 of each game in the additional state, the winning probability that the additional number of games is determined is set higher in the final game than in the games other than the final game. That is, since the additional lottery 2 is performed under the most favorable conditions in the final game of the additional state, the interest in the additional state can be enhanced regardless of the result of the early stage of the additional state.

In particular, in this embodiment, the number of games may not be added depending on the character selected by the player except for the final game in the added state, whereas the number of games is always added in the final game. Therefore, regardless of the result of the early stage of the additional state, it is possible to further enhance the interest at the final stage of the additional state.

Further, in this embodiment, the winning probability is set so that the average number of winning games is higher in the final game in the additional state than in the games other than the final game, and the number of games is always added in the final game. Since more games can be expected to be added, it is possible to further enhance the interest at the end of the added state regardless of the result of the early stage of the added state.

Further, in the present embodiment, at the start of the additional state, the additional lottery 1 for determining the additional number of games is performed, and the number of winning games of the additional lottery 1 is the number of winning games of the additional lottery 2 in the final game of the additional state. Since it is added to the number of additional games of the final game, it is possible to further enhance the interest toward the end of the additional state.

In this embodiment, in the final game, both the probability that the additional number of games is won and the number of winning games are given preferential treatment over the games other than the final game, but at least in the final game, other than the final game. It suffices if the additional number of games is given preferential treatment over the above games, and even if the additional number of games is given preferential treatment to either the probability of winning or the number of winning games, the additional number of games is given at the beginning of the additional state. Regardless of the result, it is possible to enhance the interest in the additional state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery 2 differs depending on the character selected by the player in the game other than the final game, but the additional lottery 1 and the final game are also added in the games other than the final game. A configuration in which the winning probability is uniformly set as in lottery 2 may be used. Further, in the additional lottery 1 and the additional lottery 2 of the final game, as in the additional lottery 2 in games other than the final game, the winning probability may be different depending on the character selected by the player.

Further, in this embodiment, when any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won during ART, and the special replay is won due to the execution of the navigation effect, the additional state lottery is performed and the additional state lottery is won. Although it is configured to be controlled to the additional state, it is controlled to the additional state at an opportunity other than the above, such as winning a specific combination, winning a specific combination, and deriving a specific display mode. It may be configured.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which ART is adopted as an advantageous state has been described, but any configuration may be obtained in which the period is added to the period of the advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, and other advantageous states, for example, A gaming state in which there is a higher probability of a predetermined role (a replaying role, a small role, or a special role) than usual, and a period of preferential treatment in a lottery to decide whether or not to grant a right that is advantageous to the player. (A period in which rights are likely to be granted, a period in which the average number of rights granted is set high, etc.) may be added to the period. Further, in a configuration that is advantageous to the player by achieving the task by the end of the predetermined state, the predetermined state may be applied as an advantageous state and the period of the predetermined state may be added.

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of games remaining in the ART is added, that is, the number of games in the advantageous state is added, but the configuration may be such that the period controlled in the advantageous state is added, and the advantageous state ends. The number of times the operation mode for avoiding the above is notified, the number of rights to control a predetermined number of games (navistock in this embodiment), and the like may be added to the advantageous state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the additional state is composed of a plurality of games, and in a configuration in which the number of ART games can be expected to be added in each game, the number of games in the final game is more favorable than that of games other than the final game. Is added, but the added state consists of a period of one game, and ART is performed at multiple timings (start operation, first stop, second stop, third stop, etc.) in one game. Even if the number of games is expected to be added and the number of games is added under conditions where the final timing is more favorable than the timing other than the final timing, regardless of the result of the early stage of the added state. , It is possible to enhance the interest in the added state.

In addition, in this embodiment, in each game in the additional state, when the additional number of games is won, the fact that the additional number of games is won is that the additional number of games is won except when the battle effect of the victory pattern (special) is executed. Although it is notified, the number of winning games is not notified, and the number of games based on the total number of winning games in the added state is collectively notified by the additional effect executed at the end of the added state. Although it is possible to specify whether or not each game that constitutes the added state has been added, the number of games won during that period is not notified until the end of the added state, so that the interest is maintained until the end of the added state. be able to.

In addition, there are a victory pattern (normal) and a victory pattern (special) in the battle production of the victory pattern executed when the addition of the number of games is won in the addition state, and when the addition of the number of games is won. In addition, the battle effect of the victory pattern (special) is executed only when the number of games is 30 games or more, and by executing the battle effect of the victory pattern (special), 30 games or more are added. Is confirmed, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation that the subsequent ART will continue over a larger number of games.

In particular, in this embodiment, in the victory pattern (special), the number of winning games that is not notified in the victory pattern (normal) is notified, so that the expectation that the subsequent ART will continue over a larger number of games is further increased. be able to.

On the other hand, when the additional number of games is won, even if the number of games is 30 or more, the battle effect of the victory pattern (special) may not be executed and the victory pattern (normal) may be executed. Even when the battle effect of the victory pattern (normal) is executed, it is preferable because the expectation that the subsequent AT will continue over a larger number of games can be maintained, but the number of winning games is large. In the case of 30 games or more, the victory pattern (special) may be executed without fail.

Further, in this embodiment, the result of the battle effect in each game in the added state, that is, the winning result of the additional lottery 2 (defeat pattern: "x", victory pattern (normal) "○", victory) over the period of the additional state. Pattern (special): The number of winning games) is displayed as a history, and the added state progresses while recognizing the result of each game in the added state, so it is possible to effectively enhance the interest of the added state. Can be done.

In this embodiment, when the additional number of games is won in each game in the additional state and the battle effect of the victory pattern (normal) is executed, the number of winning games is not notified and the end of the additional state is not notified. The number of games based on the total number of games won in the added state is collectively notified by the additional effect executed in the above, but each time the additional number of games is won, the winning game is won. It may be configured to notify the number of games played. Also in this case, it is preferable that the total number of games won in the added state is notified at the end of the added state, and by doing so, the total number of games notified at each timing of the added state can be grasped. It is possible to give the impression that a larger number of games have been added by notifying the number of games that is larger than the number of games notified at each timing.

Further, in this embodiment, the number of winning games is notified when the winning pattern (special) battle production is executed, but the number of winning games is also displayed in the winning pattern (special) battle production. The number of games based on the total number of games won in the added state may be collectively notified in the additional effect executed at the end of the added state without notifying.

Further, in the present embodiment, the addition effect executed at the end of the addition state may be configured to notify all the number of games won in the addition state, or the number of games won in the addition state may be notified. The configuration may be such that only a part is notified.

Further, in the present embodiment, the additional lottery 2 is performed in each game controlled in the additional state, that is, the additional number of games can be determined at each timing of the additional state, but a predetermined opportunity is established. As a result, the period for adding to the advantageous state (for example, ART) may be determined, and the additional period determined at a predetermined opportunity may be divided and notified at a plurality of subsequent timings.

Hereinafter, a modified example in which the additional period determined at a predetermined opportunity is divided and notified will be described with reference to FIG. 28.

In this embodiment, the number of games is controlled to be added in each game so that the number of games can be added. However, in this modified example, a predetermined trigger during ART (similar to Example 1, is usually performed during ART). + If any of the special replays 8 to 10 is won and the special replay wins due to the execution of the navigation effect, an additional state lottery is performed, and the additional state lottery is won, etc.) to determine the number of games to be added. A lottery is performed, and the number of games won in the additional lottery is divided over a plurality of games and controlled to the additional notification state.

In the additional notification state, first, the number of games to be controlled in the additional notification state (for example, 10 games) is set in the RAM 91c, and then the final notification number, which is the number of games to be notified in the final game, is determined. The final number of notifications is the number of games that occupy a certain percentage (for example, 1/3) of the number of games won in the additional lottery.

After that, an additional notification lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform additional notification in each game except the final game in the additional notification state. In the additional notification lottery, the maximum number of increased games including 0 is determined in the range of the number of games obtained by excluding the final notification number from the number of games won in the additional lottery. Then, when 0 is won in the addition notification lottery, the addition effect is not executed, and when the maximum increase number of games other than 0 is determined, the number of games to be added is notified within the determined maximum increase number of games. Perform an additional production.

Further, in the final game in the additional notification state, the additional lottery is not executed, and the additional effect is executed based on the total value of the final notification number and the number of games that have not yet been notified in the additional notification state. That is, in the final game, the number of games is notified at least based on the final number of notifications, regardless of whether or not the number of games that have not been notified yet remains in each game up to that point.

Further, in the additional notification state, the additional lottery is made so that the average value of the number of games notified in the additional production of the final game is larger than the average value of the number of games notified in the additional production of games other than the final game. The final number of notifications based on the number of games won in and the winning probability of the additional notification lottery are set.

As described above, in this modification, after the additional lottery triggered by the winning of the special replay, the additional notification lottery for determining whether or not to perform the additional notification for each game is performed in the additional notification state consisting of a plurality of games. It is possible to give an additional notification for each game for a part of the number of games won by the additional lottery.

Then, in the additional notification state, the additional lottery is performed so that the average value of the number of games notified in the additional production of the final game is higher than the average value of the number of games notified in the additional production of games other than the final game. The final number of notifications based on the number of winning games and the winning probability of the additional notification lottery are set.
