Description

The present invention includes a variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and after the variable display unit is variable-displayed, the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped to display a display result. The present invention relates to a slot machine that can be derived and a prize can be generated according to the display result.

A slot machine is generally equipped with a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn as identification information on the outer periphery, and first, a player's BET operation is used to determine the number of bets. The reels start to rotate when the reels are set and the start operation is performed with the specified bet number set, and the rotation is started by operating the stop switch as the derivation operation means provided corresponding to each reel. Stop. When the rotation of all reels is stopped, a prize is generated by deriving a predetermined combination of winning symbols on the winning line (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter the combination of symbols is also referred to as a display result). To do.

These winning roles include special roles that accompany the transition to a bonus state that is advantageous to the player, small roles that add game value such as medals, and re-games that allow the game to be played without using the game value. There is a replay role with the grant of. In general, these winning combinations can be won on the condition that they have won the internal lottery that is performed at the same time as the start operation.

For example, in the slot machine of Patent Document 1, there is a slot machine that can control an ART that notifies the push order corresponding to a winning combination, and when the number of games that can be controlled by the ART becomes "0", a battle effect is produced. It is controlled by the battle state to be executed, and a lottery is performed as to whether or not to return to the ART state by using the acquired ART points in the battle state. If it is determined by the lottery to return to the ART state, the ART state is returned.

A medal insertion section 4 into which medals can be inserted is provided in the lower right of the see-through window 3, and a medal payout outlet 9, speakers 53, and 54 for paying out medals are provided in the lower part of the front door 1b.

As an example of the operation means, the front door 1b is used to set a predetermined number of bets determined according to the game state within the range of credits stored as the game value (number of medals) owned by the player. MAXBET switch 6 operated by, settlement switch 10 operated when credits and set bets are settled and returned, start switch 7 operated when starting a game, rotation of reels 2L to 2R Stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R and the like that are operated when each is stopped are provided.

Of the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R that have started to rotate, the reel that stops first is referred to as the first stop reel, and the stop is referred to as the first stop. Similarly, the reel that stops second is called the second stop reel, the stop is called the second stop, the reel that stops third is called the third stop reel, and the stop is called the third stop. Alternatively, it is called a final stop. Of the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, stopping the left reel 2L first is the left first stop, stopping the middle reel 2C first is the middle first stop, and the right reel 2R is the first stop. This is called the first right stop. Further, the left middle right means an operation pushing order in which the middle reel 2C is secondly stopped after the left reel 2L is first stopped. Left-right middle refers to the operation push order in which the left reel 2L is first stopped and then the right reel 2R is secondly stopped. The middle left and right refers to the operation push order in which the left reel 2L is secondly stopped after the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The middle right / left refers to the operation pushing order in which the right reel 2R is secondly stopped after the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The right-left middle means the operation push order in which the left reel 2L is secondly stopped after the right reel 2R is first stopped. The right middle left refers to the operation pushing order in which the right reel 2R is first stopped and then the middle reel 2C is stopped second, and is also referred to as reverse pushing.

The game display unit 13 has a credit display 11 that displays the number of medals stored as credits, a game auxiliary display 12 that displays the number of medals to be paid out and an error code when an error occurs, and a set bet. 1BETLED14 for notifying the number, 2BETLED15, 3BETLED16, insertion request LED17 for notifying that medals can be inserted, start effective LED18 for notifying that the game can be started by operating the start switch 7, and start switch. After the operation of 7, the LED19 in the weight that notifies that the weight (the state of waiting for the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R because a certain period of time has not passed since the previous game start) is in progress, after the replay prize is won. The replay LED 20 for notifying that the replay game is in progress is provided. In the following, the start switch operation (that is, the operation of rotating three reels) in a state where the bet number is properly set is referred to as a lever-on operation.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each reel. As shown in FIG. 2, "white 7a" (for example, the symbol of the area number 16 of the left reel 2L) and "white 7b" (for example, the area of the left reel 2L) are on the outer peripheral portions of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R, respectively. No. 19 symbol), "White 7c" (for example, symbol of area number 3 on the left reel 2L), "Watermelon a" (for example, symbol of area number 15 on the left reel 2L), "Watermelon b" (for example, left Reel 2L area number 1 symbol), "cherry" (for example, left reel 2L area number 2 symbol), "bell a" (for example, left reel 2L area number 21 symbol), "bell b" (for example, left reel 2L area number 21 symbol) For example, the symbol of area number 18 on the left reel 2L), "rip a" (for example, the symbol of area number 20 on the left reel 2L), and "rip b" (for example, the symbol of area number 8 on the left reel 2L). Twenty-one identifiable symbols are drawn in a predetermined order.

Both "White 7b" and "White 7c" are common in that they are based on the design of "White 7a", and "White 7b" has a vertical line added to the upper left corner, and "White 7c" differs in that a horizontal line is added to the base. For this reason, "white 7a" to "white 7c" are different types of symbols, but since they have similar outer shapes, they are also collectively referred to as "white 7". "Watermelon b" is common in that it is based on the design of "watermelon a", and differs in that a horizontal line is added to the upper part. For this reason, "watermelon a" and "watermelon b" are different types of symbols, but since they have similar outer shapes, they are also collectively referred to as watermelon. "Bell b" is common in that it is based on the design of "Bell a", and differs in that the color of the ball of the tongue is black. For this reason, "bell a" and "bell b" are different types of symbols, but since they have similar outer shapes, they are also collectively referred to as bells. "Rip b" is common in that it is based on the design of "Rip a", and is different in that an underline is added to the characters of REPLAY. For this reason, "rip a" and "rip b" are symbols of different types, but since they are symbols having similar outer shapes, they are also collectively referred to as a lip.

The symbols drawn on the outer peripheral portions of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are displayed in the upper, middle, and lower three stages in the see-through window 3 provided at substantially the center of the reel panel of the front door 1b. The number of reels is not limited to three, and may be one or two or more. Further, although the variable display unit shows an example of being configured by a physical reel, it may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, first, a predetermined number of bets (for example, 3) are set by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. If a medal is inserted with the number of bets already set, that amount will be added to the credit.

The winning line is a line for determining whether the combination of symbols displayed on the perspective windows 3 of the reels 2L to 2R is a combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, an example in which only one winning line LN is provided will be described, but a plurality of winning lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided so that it is easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the prize is aligned with the prize line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not lines for which a winning judgment is made, and when a combination of specific winning symbols (so-called breaks) is aligned with the winning line LN, the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 have a predetermined symbol. By aligning the combinations, it is easy to recognize that the winning line LN has a matching combination of symbols constituting a specific winning.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L to 2R are rotated to display the symbol in a variable manner, and when the stop switches 8L to 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. , Three symbols are derived and displayed as display results in the upper, middle, and lower stages of the perspective window 3. The symbols (display results) that can be derived and displayed are the symbols displayed on the LN when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols up to 4 frames ahead. It is a design for a total of 5 frames. In the following, the pull-in range means the number of frames excluding the symbols displayed on the LN.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the white 7 is arranged within 5 frames on each reel. Therefore, White 7 is a symbol that can be derived regardless of the operation timing (a symbol that is not missed).

When the combination of winning symbols stops on the winning line LN and a winning occurs, a predetermined number of medals are given to the player according to the winning, and credits are added or the credit reaches the upper limit (50). If this is the case, medals will be paid out from the medal payment exit 9.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a special roll that is stopped on the winning line LN only when a predetermined small winning combination is missed. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a transition of a gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41.

The names of the winning combinations are shown in the name columns of FIGS. 5 to 7, and the combination of symbols for which the winning combination is a winning combination is shown in the symbol combination column. In the general game column, the value for the game to be given is shown. In the remarks column of FIG. 7, the name based on the combination of symbols is shown. The replay role includes eight types of replay roles such as promotion lip, fall lip, normal lip, and white 7 lip 1-5. In addition, White 7 Lips 1 to 5 are collectively referred to as "White 7 Lips".

"-" In the description of the symbol combination in the present embodiment indicates "separation of adjacent reels", the left indicates "the symbol of the left reel 2L", the middle indicates the "symbol of the middle reel 2C", and the right. Indicates the "right reel 2R design". For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the usual lip combinations are "lip a-lip a-lip a", "lip a-lip a-lip b", "lip a-lip a-watermelon a", and "lip a-lip a-watermelon a". a-lip a-watermelon b "," lip a-lip b-lip a "," lip a-lip b-lip b "," lip a-lip b-watermelon a "," lip a-lip b-watermelon " b ”,“ Lip b-Rip a-Rip a ”,“ Lip b-Rip a-Rip b ”,“ Lip b-Rip a-Watermelon a ”,“ Lip b-Rip a-Watermelon b ”,“ Lip b -Rip b-Rip a, "Rip b-Rip b-Rip b", "Rip b-Rip b-Watermelon a", and "Rip b-Rip b-Watermelon b", a combination of 16 types of symbols means. In addition, when a normal lip wins, a re-game is given (the next game can be played without medals being consumed or credits being subtracted and updated).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a symbol combination of transition rolls. For the transition roll, the left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4, and right bells 1 to 4 (see Fig. 10), which are the push order bells, are won, and the reels other than the reels that are the winning conditions for the middle bell are the first stop. In addition, if the winning upper bell is missed, the winning line LN will be aligned.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41. The slot machine 1 in the present embodiment is controlled by any of the RTs 0 to 3 in which the replay is won with a predetermined winning probability, from the establishment of the start condition to the establishment of the end condition (FIG. 9). See the winning combination or roll shown along the arrow). The type of replay drawn internally is determined for each type of RT. For example, when it is controlled by RT1, if the promotion lip wins, it is controlled by RT2. Further, when controlled by RT3, when the promotion lip or the normal lip wins, the control to RT3 is maintained.

10 and 11 are diagrams showing a combination of lottery target combinations read out as lottery target combinations for each game state. The name is shown in the lottery target combination column, and the game status column indicates that the lottery target combination is a lottery target for each type of RT, and the winning probability is determined by the numerical value under the circle. The number of determination values involved is shown, and the reel control shows the content of the control executed by the main control unit executed in the game in which the lottery target combination is won.

Further, the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are referred to as "push order bells", and the ascending and rolling rips 1 to 5 are also referred to as "push order rips". In addition, the push order bell and the push order lip are collectively referred to as "push order combination". The corresponding push order (correct answer push order) is defined for the push order role. Correspondence in the game in which the push order role is won. When the game is operated in the push order, an advantageous display result is derived, which is advantageous for the player, while when the game is operated in a push order different from the corresponding push order (incorrect answer push order), it is more disadvantageous than the advantageous display result. The display result is derived. For example, in the game in which Ascending Replay 1 is won, when the game is operated in the correct answer pressing order (left first stop), the promotion lip wins, but the pressing order is different from the correct answer pressing order ( When operated in the wrong answering order), the fall lip wins.

Further, in a game in which any of Battle Lips 1 to 5 is won, White 7 Lips wins when operated by reverse push, while Normal Lips wins when operated in a push order other than Reverse Push. In addition, the advantage for the player is the same when the White 7 Lip wins and when the Normal Lip wins.

[About AT]
For example, the main control unit 41 performs an AT lottery process of determining whether or not to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) when a predetermined AT lottery condition is satisfied and the number of games to be controlled by the AT by a random number lottery. Do. FIG. 12 shows an example of an AT lottery table used in the AT lottery process. In the example of FIG. 12, the AT lottery condition is a condition that is satisfied by winning a predetermined AT lottery target combination (in this embodiment, a middle cherry, a weak cherry, a strong cherry, a weak watermelon, and a strong watermelon). To do. In the example of FIG. 12, for example, when a weak watermelon is won, the probability that the number of AT games given is determined to be 0, the probability that the number of AT games given is determined to 50, and the number of AT games given are determined. The probabilities of being determined to be 100 are set to 85%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. Also, when a strong watermelon or strong cherry is won, it is controlled by a special AT.

When an AT is won by an AT lottery (when one or more AT games are given), the sub control unit 91 performs an AT notification effect for notifying the player of the AT winning, and then the main control unit 41 performs an AT. Performs AT control processing to control. In the AT control process, the AT is controlled according to the number of AT games assigned. After the AT lottery process is completed, the main control unit 41 transmits an AT game number command indicating the number of AT games (including 0) determined to be granted to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 Can identify the number of AT games determined to be granted by receiving and analyzing the AT game number command. In the AT notification process, the number of AT games given by winning an AT or winning an AT is notified.

During AT, the sub-control unit 91 derives an advantageous push order for deriving an advantageous symbol combination when receiving a command transmitted when the push order combination shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is won by internal lottery processing. Execute a navigation effect to notify. Further, this navigation effect includes a navigation effect executed by the main control unit 41 and a navigation effect executed by the sub control unit 91.

The navigation effect executed by the main control unit 41 notifies the advantageous push order by using a means that can be controlled by the main control unit 41 (for example, the game auxiliary display 12). The game auxiliary display 12 also displays the number of medals to be paid out and an error code at the time of an error. The main control unit 41 displays information corresponding to the advantageous pressing order on the game auxiliary display 12. Further, the navigation effect executed by the sub control unit 91 is an effect of notifying the liquid crystal display 51 of the advantageous pressing order.

[About special ART]
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a special ART. First, the conditions for starting the special ART will be described. When a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won during non-AT, it is transferred to a special AT. When the push order replay of the push order combination is won in the transition to the special AT, the push order (correct answer push order) for winning the promotion lip is notified. The player can shift to RT3 by operating in the notified push order (see FIG. 9). The special ART is started by shifting to the RT3 (the transition condition of the special ART is satisfied).

Special ART includes 40 games of non-battle ART and multiple games of battle ART. Comparing the non-battle ART and the battle ART, both are ART, but the battle effect is executed in the battle ART, while the battle effect is not executed in the non-battle ART. In this embodiment, the number of battle ART games has not been determined at the time when the special ART is won. As a modification, the number of battle ART games may be determined when the special ART is won. Further, in FIG. 13, the portion described by the rectangle (for example, non-AT, non-battle ART, etc.) indicates the state controlled by the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91, and the portion described by the ellipse (for example). , Specialized zone) indicates a lottery executed by the main control unit 41.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the transition condition of the special ART is satisfied in the non-AT (a state other than ART), the non-battle ART is started. In non-battle ART, when 40 games are digested, it is controlled by battle ART. In the battle ART, the battle production is executed. The battle production is a production in which a friendly character and an enemy character battle. In the battle production, the ally character attacks the enemy character as many times as the number of attack rights possessed. The attack right is granted by, for example, the attack right lottery described with reference to FIG. For example, if the attack right is "2", the ally character attacks the enemy character twice. In the battle production, the ally character attacks the enemy character as many times as the number of attack rights possessed, and when the HP (hit point) of the enemy character becomes 0, the ally character wins. On the other hand, when the ally character attacks the enemy character as many times as the number of attack rights possessed, but the HP of the enemy character does not become 0 and the number of attack rights becomes 0, The ally character is defeated. Therefore, the more right to attack, the more advantageous it is for the player.

If you win the battle production (when your ally character wins), you will return to the non-battle ART. On the other hand, if the battle effect is defeated (when the HP of the enemy character becomes 0 and the number of attack rights becomes 0), the last battle effect is executed. The last battle production is executed over four games.

In the last battle production, a friendly character and an enemy character battle. However, the last battle production does not consume the attack right like the battle production during the battle ART. This is because the condition for the last battle to be executed is that the attack right becomes 0. Whether or not to win the last battle effect is determined by a random number lottery executed at a predetermined timing among the four games in which the last battle effect is executed. After the execution of the random number lottery, the result of the last battle effect is notified at a predetermined timing (for example, at the time of the third stop) of the 4G of the last battle effect.

If the ally character wins in the last battle production, it will return to the non-battle ART. In this way, even if you lose in battle ART, if you win in the last battle production, you may be returned to non-battle ART in a repechage. Therefore, even after the attack right becomes 0, the player can have a sense of expectation. In the last battle production, the probability of winning and the probability of losing are determined, respectively. For example, the probability of winning and the probability of losing are 30% and 70%, respectively.

Also, if you lose in the last battle production, a special zone lottery will be executed. The special zone lottery is a lottery that determines whether or not to control the special zone. During the special zone, the battle effect is not executed (the attack right is not reduced) as in the non-battle ART. If it is decided in the special zone lottery that the special zone will be controlled (if the special zone is won), it will be controlled to the special zone of 100 games. In addition, if it is determined in the special zone lottery that the special zone is not controlled (if the special zone is not won), it will be returned to the non-AT. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the number of attack rights becomes 0 in the battle ART, the player is defeated in the last battle production, and the player is not elected in the special zone, the player is returned to the non-AT.

Next, the attack right lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during the non-battle ART and the special zone will be described. FIG. 14 shows an example of the attack right lottery table used in the attack right lottery. In the following, weak watermelons and strong watermelons are collectively referred to as "watermelons", and middle cherries, weak cherries and strong cherries are collectively referred to as "cherries". In the example of FIG. 14, the attack right lottery is executed when the watermelon or cherry is won during the non-battle ART and the special zone. In the example of FIG. 14, for example, when a watermelon is elected, 1 attack right is granted with a 50% probability, and 2 attack rights are granted with a 50% probability. As a modification, the attack right lottery table used during the non-battle ART may be different from the attack right lottery table used during the special zone. For example, the advantage for the player is that the attack right lottery table used during the special zone is more advantageous than the attack right lottery table used during the non-battle ART (expected value of the attack right to be granted). May increase). The granted attack right is stored in the RAM 41c.

Next, the lottery during the battle executed during the battle ART will be described. FIG. 15 shows an example of the in-battle lottery table used in the in-battle lottery. FIG. 15A is a damage lottery table used in the damage lottery. The damage lottery is a lottery in which the damage given to the enemy character during the battle ART is determined when any one of the battle rips 1 to 5 is won. The damage is a value that reduces the HP of the enemy character. For example, when the damage is determined by 5pt (points), the HP of the enemy character can be reduced by 5.

For example, as shown in FIG. 15A, when Battle Lip 1 is won, it is determined that there is a 90% chance of dealing 1 pt of damage, and a 5% chance of dealing 3 pt of damage. It is determined that there is a% chance of dealing 5pt of damage. As shown in FIG. 15A, the expected damage value to be determined increases in the order of Battle Lip 1, Battle Lip 3, Battle Lip 2, Battle Lip 4, and Battle Lip 5. Therefore, the advantage for the player is high in the order of Battle Lip 1, Battle Lip 3, Battle Lip 2, Battle Lip 4, and Battle Lip 5.

FIG. 15B is an attack right lottery table used in the attack right lottery during the battle ART. The attack right lottery is executed when any of the watermelon, cherry, and push order bell is won during the battle ART. When these roles are won, the damage lottery is not performed (although it cannot damage the enemy character), but instead the attack right lottery is executed. In the example of FIG. 15B, for example, when a watermelon is elected, the probability that the right to attack 0 times is granted (the right to attack is not granted) and the probability that the right to attack once is granted are 50%, respectively. It is stipulated that.

Also, comparing the advantages of non-battle ART and battle ART, although navigation effects are executed in both cases, there is a possibility that they will be controlled by non-AT from battle ART, while non-AT from non-battle ART. Not controlled by. Therefore, non-battle ART is more advantageous than battle ART. Further, the special zone is not controlled by non-AT as in the non-battle ART, and the number of games in which the attack right lottery using the attack right lottery table shown in FIG. 14 can be executed is 100 games. Therefore, it is a period in which more attack rights can be accumulated than both non-battle ART and battle ART.

Next, the medal grant rate P between the non-battle ART and the battle ART will be described. The medal grant rate P is a value obtained by dividing "the total number of medals paid out by winning" by "the number of medals consumed by setting the number of medals". Normally, both non-battle ART and battle ART are in the state of RT3. In the following, the "winning" of the "total number of medals paid out by winning" will be explained only to the "winning of the push order bell".

The number of medals consumed by setting the number of bets per game is "3". The probability of winning the push order bell in one game is 16824/65536. Further, in the case of RT3 (ART), when the push order bell is won, 15 medals are paid out because the bell 1 or the bell 2 wins by executing the navigation effect (see FIG. 7). Then, the expected value Q of the number of medals given by winning the push order bell in one game is as shown in the following equation (1).

Q = 15 × (16824/65536) ≒ 3.85 (1)
In this way, the expected value Q of the number of medals given by winning the push order bell in one game is about 3.85. Then, the medal grant rate P is as shown in the following equation (2).

P = 3.85 / 3 ≒ 1.28 (2)
In this way, when the "winning" of the "total number of medals paid out by winning" is limited to the "winning of the push order bell", both the non-battle ART and the battle ART are about 1.28. In fact, during ART (RT3), common bells, cherries, watermelons, etc. can also win, so the medal award rate between non-battle ART and battle ART is higher than 1.28.

As described above, the non-battle ART and the battle ART have the same medal grant rate P, and the grant rate P is 1 or more. In the non-battle ART, the attack right lottery is executed while the medals are given at a rate of 1 or more (see FIG. 14). Further, in the battle ART, medals are given at a rate of 1 or more, a battle effect is performed, and an attack right lottery is executed (see FIG. 15B). That is, the right to attack can be granted in both non-battle ART and battle ART. Therefore, both non-battle ART and battle ART can grant the player the right to attack.

[Relationship between the reel from which White 7 is derived and the expected damage value]
Next, the relationship between the reel from which White 7 is derived during the battle production and the expected value of damage will be described. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the relationship between the reel from which White 7 is derived and the expected value of damage. FIG. 16 is a drawing based on the display result of the white 7 lip of FIGS. 5 and 6 and the description of the table of FIG. 15 (A).

As shown in FIG. 16, the display result of the winning combination and the expected damage value are associated with the winning combination and the winning combination (see parentheses) that wins when the winning combination is pushed back in the winning game. The order and the ally characters to be displayed in the next game of the game in which the winning combination wins (the game from which the display result is derived) are defined (see FIG. 17). In the display result column, blanks other than white 7 indicate other symbols. For example, a blank on the left reel in the display result column of winning Battle Lip 2 indicates Lip a or Lip b (see the combination of symbols in White 7 Lip 2 in FIG. 5).

As shown in FIG. 16, when White 7 Lip 1 from which White 7 is derived is won on the right reel (when Battle Lip 1 is won), and when White 7 Lip 3 from which White 7 is derived is won on the middle reel. (When Battle Lip 3 is won), White 7 is derived to the middle reel and the right reel. When White 7 Lip 2 wins (when Battle Lip 2 is won), White 7 is derived to the middle reel and the left reel. When White 7 Lip 4 wins (when Battle Lip 4 wins), White 7 is derived to all reels When White 7 Lip 5 wins (when Battle Lip 5 wins), by damage lottery The expected damage value is set to be high.

Further, during the battle production, when White 7 Lip wins a prize, the ally character corresponding to the reel from which White 7 is derived is displayed (see FIG. 17 (C)). In this embodiment, the right reel corresponds to character A, the middle reel corresponds to character B, and the left reel corresponds to character C. Further, it is assumed that the expectation of damage to the enemy character is high in the order of character A, character B, and character C.

In the example of FIG. 16, when White 7 Lip 1 wins, character A is displayed, when White 7 Lip 2 wins, character A and character B are displayed, and when White 7 Lip 3 wins, character B is displayed. Is displayed, and when White 7 Lip 4 wins, character A and character C are displayed, and when White 7 Lip 5 wins, character A, character B, and character C are displayed.

[About the production screen in battle production]
FIG. 17 is an example of a screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 by executing a battle effect in the battle ART. In the present embodiment, the battle effect is executed over two games by consuming one attack right. In FIGS. 17A and 17B, the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is shown in the upper part, and the display state of the reel 3 is shown in the lower part. The display state of the reel 3 shows only the part of the winning line LN, and does not show the other lines.

As shown in FIG. 17 (A), in the game in which any one of the battle rips 1 to 5 is won, the attack right of 1 is consumed, and the sub-control unit 91 pushes to win the white 7 rip. A navigation effect (hereinafter referred to as "white 7 lip navigation effect") for notifying the order is executed. In the example of FIG. 17, a navigation effect for displaying characters such as "Aim at White 7 by pushing it backwards!" Is executed. In the example of FIG. 17A, the navigation effect is executed at the time of the lever-on operation that triggers the internal lottery in which any one of the battle rips 1 to 5 is won. Further, during the battle ART, the remaining number of attack rights is displayed in a predetermined area (upper right area in the example of FIG. 17). In the example of FIG. 17, the remaining number of attack rights is "2". When the battle lip is won, the attack right is reduced by 1, and the attack right display is also reduced and updated by 1. Further, in the example of FIG. 17, a case where the battle lip 2 is won is shown.

FIG. 17B is an example of a screen displayed when the third stop is performed by reverse pressing and a derived display result. In FIG. 17B, white 7 lip 2 is derived. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, White 7 Lip 2 is a winning combination in which the number of reels from which White 7 is derived is two. Specifically, White 7 Lip 2 is a winning combination in which White 7 is derived to the right reel and the left reel. On the liquid crystal display 51, characters corresponding to the number of reels from which white 7 is derived are displayed. In the example of FIG. 17, since the number of reels from which White 7 is derived is “2”, characters such as “double attack!” Are displayed. This double attack means that in the next game (see FIG. 17 (C)), two friendly characters attack the enemy character. When the lever-on operation is executed while the screen of FIG. 17 (B) is displayed (the state where the first game of the battle effect is completed) (when the game of the second game of the battle effect is started), The screen of FIG. 17C is displayed. In addition, in FIG. 17C and FIG. 17D, the description of the display result of the reel is omitted.

On the screen of FIG. 17C, characters A and B (see FIG. 16) as ally characters, an enemy character, the HP gauge of the enemy character, and a character such as "attack start!" Are displayed. In addition, there are a plurality of types of enemy characters, and one of the plurality of types of enemy characters is determined by lottery by the main control unit 41 as an enemy character for battle production. Multiple types of enemy characters have different HPs. In this embodiment, there are two types of enemy characters as a plurality of types of characters. Further, it is assumed that the HPs of the two types of enemy characters are 5 points and 10 points, respectively. Also, in order to defeat an enemy character, it is necessary to set the HP of the enemy character to 0. Therefore, it can be said that the higher the HP of the enemy character, the stronger the enemy character (the enemy character that is hard to defeat). In this embodiment, defeating a strong enemy character (enemy character with high HP) has a higher advantage than defeating a weak enemy character (enemy character with low HP). For example, when a strong enemy character is defeated, a predetermined number of attack rights (for example, 1) are granted, but when a weak enemy character is defeated, the attack right may not be granted.

On the screen of FIG. 17 (C), characters A and B are displayed as ally characters based on the "double attack!" Displayed on the screen of FIG. 17 (B), and the characters A and B are displayed. Attack the enemy character. If the first stop operation is executed while the screen of FIG. 17 (C) is displayed, the screen of FIG. 17 (D) is displayed. On the screen of FIG. 17 (D), a screen in which ally characters (character A and character B) are damaging an enemy character is displayed. In FIG. 17D, a screen in which 5 points of damage are given is displayed. In addition, a screen is displayed in which the HP gauge is reduced by 5 points.

Further, although not particularly shown, a navigation effect (see FIG. 17 (A)) is executed in which a reverse push is performed even when another battle lip (one of battle lip 1 and battle lip 3 to 5) is won. Therefore, in the game in which the battle lip is won, the player can win the white 7 lip by operating in the push order notified by the navigation effect. In addition, when the battle lip is operated in a push order different from the push order notified by the navigation effect (that is, the push order other than the reverse push) executed when the battle lip is won, the white 7 lip does not win, but the next When a friendly character is displayed in the game (see FIGS. 17 (C) and 17 (D)), an effect that causes damage is executed. In addition, you may execute the effect of giving damage without displaying the ally character.

Further, although not shown in particular, when the number of reels from which White 7 is derived is one (that is, when White 7 Lip 1 or White 7 Lip 3 wins), a character such as "single attack!" Is displayed. Is displayed. Further, when the number of reels from which White 7 is derived is three (that is, when White 7 Lip 5 is won), a character such as "Triple attack!" Is displayed. Further, even when White 7 Lip 4 wins a prize, since the number of reels from which White 7 is derived is two, characters such as "double attack!" Are displayed.

Also, in the battle production, ally character A appears based on the derivation of white 7 on the right reel, ally character B appears based on the derivation of white 7 on the middle reel, and the derivation of white 7 on the left reel. The ally character C appears based on. For example, when White 7 Lip 1 wins a prize, a character such as "single attack!" Is displayed in FIG. 17 (B), and then character A is displayed as an ally character in FIG. 17 (C). Further, when White 7 Lip 3 wins a prize, a character such as "single attack!" Is displayed in FIG. 17 (B), and then character B is displayed as an ally character in FIG. 17 (C). Further, when White 7 Lip 4 wins a prize, characters such as "double attack!" Are displayed in FIG. 17 (B), and then characters A and B are displayed as ally characters in FIG. 17 (C). .. Further, when White 7 Lip 5 wins a prize, a character such as "Triple attack!" Is displayed in FIG. 17 (B), and then in FIG. 17 (C), characters A, B, and C are displayed as ally characters. Is displayed.

Further, it was explained that there are two types of enemy characters, and the HPs of both enemy characters are 5 and 10. As also shown in FIG. 15, when the battle lip 5 is won, it is always decided to inflict 10 points of damage. Therefore, no matter which of the two types of enemy characters is selected, the enemy character can always be defeated with one attack right.

Further, as shown by the * mark in FIG. 14, during the last battle (during 4 games) and during the non-battle ART, even if the battle lip is won, the white 7 lip navigation effect is not executed. I will explain the reason why White 7 Lipnavi production is not executed during the last battle. The last battle is controlled when the attack right becomes 0. If, during the last battle, the White 7 Lip Navi effect is executed in the game in which the Battle Lip was won, the White 7 Lip will win if the operation is performed in the push order notified by the White 7 Lip Navi effect. .. Then, even though the attack right is 0, it is unreasonable that White 7 Lip wins a prize. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent such an absurdity from occurring, the White 7 Lipnavi effect is not executed during the last battle.

Next, the reason why the White 7 Lipnavi effect is not executed during the non-battle ART will be described. During non-battle ART, the battle effect is not executed. If the White 7 Lip Navi effect is executed in the game in which the Battle Lip is won during the non-battle ART, the White 7 Lip will win if the operation is performed in the push order notified by the White 7 Lip Navi effect. .. Then, even though the battle production is not executed, if the white 7 lip that causes damage in the battle production wins a prize, the player will be confused. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent such confusion from occurring, the White 7 Lipnavi effect is not executed during the non-battle ART.

[Effect of this embodiment]
Next, the main effects obtained by the present embodiment will be described.

(1) According to the configuration of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 16, the damage lottery is executed when any one of Battle Lip 1 to Battle Lip 5 is won during the battle ART. By doing so, the damage that can be given to the enemy character is determined. In addition, when the battle lip 2 is won, the number of reels from which the white 7 is derived is larger and the expected damage value in the damage lottery is larger when the reverse push operation is executed than when the battle lip 1 is won. (See FIG. 16). Therefore, since the player's attention can be drawn to the number of reels from which White 7 is derived, the interest of the damage lottery can be improved.

In other words, the slot machine of this embodiment is
Predetermining means (for example, internal lottery) to determine the display result that allows derivation,
A derivation control means (for example, reel control) that controls to derive a display result according to a determination result of the prior determination means, and
Controlled to a specific state (for example, battle ART shown in FIG. 13) when the end condition is satisfied during the advantageous state (for example, the non-battle ART shown in FIG. 13) (for example, when the non-battle ART of 40 games is exhausted). After that, when the return condition is satisfied during the specific state (when the battle effect in the battle ART is won), the state control means (for example, the main control unit 41) capable of controlling the advantageous state again. ,
Granting means (for example, main control unit 41) capable of granting a predetermined right (for example, an attack right that can be granted by the attack right lottery shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 (B)) and
A lottery process executing means (for example, a lottery process executing means (for example, a damage lottery shown in FIG. 15A) for executing a lottery process relating to the establishment of the return condition by consuming the predetermined right granted by the granting means in the specific state. , Main control unit 41)
The derivation control means can variablely display specific identification information on two or more variable display units among the plurality of variable display units (for example, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, white 7 is arranged on each reel. The first decision result (for example, the battle lip 1 shown in FIG. 16) is when the decision result of the prior determination means is the second decision result (for example, the winning of the battle lip 2 shown in FIG. 16). It is possible to control so that the number of variable display units from which the specific identification information is derived as a display result is larger than when the specific identification information is won (for example, when the battle lip 2 is won, the reel from which white 7 is derived is derived. White 7 Lip 2 with 2 wins, while White 7 Lip 1 with 1 reel from which White 7 is derived wins when Battle Lip 1 wins),
The lottery process executing means can execute the lottery process when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first determination result and the second determination result (for example, FIG. 15A). ), The damage lottery can be executed when Battle Lip 1 and Battle Lip 2 are won),
The state control means can end the control to the specific state when the predetermined right does not exist in the specific state (for example, as shown in FIG. 13, in the battle ART, in the battle ART. When the attack right becomes 0, the control of the battle ART ends and the last battle effect is executed),
The advantage of the lottery process is higher when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second determination result than when the determination result is the first determination result (for example, FIGS. 15A and 16). As shown in, the expected damage value in the damage lottery is larger when Battle Lip 2 is won than when Battle Lip 1 is won).

According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second determination result, the specific identification information is derived as the display result more than when the determination result is the first determination result. The number of display units is large, and the lottery process is advantageous. Therefore, since the player's attention can be drawn to the number of variable display units from which the specific identification information is derived as the display result, the interest of the lottery process can be improved.

(2) As shown in FIG. 16, the white 7 is derived from one reel in the game in which the battle lip 1 is won and the game in which the battle lip 3 is won. Further, in both games, one reel from which White 7 is derived is different from each other, and the expected value of the damage lottery is also different. In FIG. 16, the expected value of the damage lottery is higher in the game in which Battle Lip 3 is won than in the game in which Battle Lip 1 is won. Therefore, the player's attention can be drawn to the position of the reel 1 from which the white 7 is derived.

There are two reels from which White 7 is derived in the game in which Battle Lip 2 is won and the game in which Battle Lip 4 is won. Further, in both games, the combination of the two reels from which White 7 is derived is different from each other, and the expected value of the damage lottery is also different. In FIG. 16, the expected value of the damage lottery is higher in the game in which Battle Lip 4 is won than in the game in which Battle Lip 2 is won. Therefore, the player's attention can be drawn to the combination of the two reels from which White 7 is derived.

(3) As shown in FIG. 17 (A), when the battle lip is won, a navigation effect for notifying the push order (reverse push in the present embodiment) for winning the white 7 lip is executed. Therefore, the player can easily win the White 7 Lip.

(4) As shown by the * mark in FIG. 14, during the last battle (during 4 games), even if the battle lip is won, the white 7 lip navigation effect is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the unreasonableness that White 7 Lip wins even though the attack right is 0.

(5) As shown in FIG. 17, when the battle lip is won during the battle ART, the battle effect is executed over two games by consuming one attack right. In the first game of the battle production, the white 7 rip corresponding to the winning battle rip wins a prize, and in the next game (the second game), the enemy character is notified of the damage. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the two games in which the battle effect is executed.

(6) In the non-battle ART, the attack right lottery using the attack right lottery table shown in FIG. 14 is executed, and in the battle ART, the attack right lottery using the attack right lottery table shown in FIG. 15 (B) is also executed. Is executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the attack right lottery is executed in both the non-battle ART and the battle ART, the attack right can be granted. Therefore, for example, compared to a slot machine in which an attack right is not granted in a battle ART and an attack right is granted only in a non-battle ART, the chance of being granted an attack right can be increased, which makes the game more interesting. Can be improved.

In other words, the slot machine of this embodiment is
Controlled to a specific state (for example, battle ART shown in FIG. 13) when the end condition is satisfied during the advantageous state (for example, the non-battle ART shown in FIG. 13) (for example, when the non-battle ART of 40 games is exhausted). After that, when the return condition is satisfied during the specific state (when the battle effect in the battle ART is won), the state control means (for example, the main control unit 41) capable of controlling the advantageous state again. ,
Granting means (for example, main control unit 41) capable of granting a predetermined right (for example, an attack right that can be granted by the attack right lottery shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 (B)) and
A lottery process executing means (for example, a lottery process executing means (for example, a damage lottery shown in FIG. 15A) for executing a lottery process relating to the establishment of the return condition by consuming the predetermined right granted by the granting means in the specific state. , Main control unit 41)
The state control means can end the control to the specific state when the predetermined right does not exist in the specific state (for example, as shown in FIG. 13, in the battle ART, in the battle ART. When the attack right becomes 0, the control of the battle ART ends and the last battle effect is executed),
The granting means can grant a predetermined right during the advantageous state and the specific state (for example, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 (B), attack in both battle ART and non-battle ART. The rights lottery will be carried out).

According to such a configuration, a predetermined right can be granted not only in an advantageous state but also in a specific state. Therefore, it is possible to increase the chances of granting a predetermined right, and thus it is possible to improve the interest of a specific state.

(7) During the battle ART, the damage lottery is executed when the battle lip 1 is won, while the attack right lottery is executed when the watermelon, cherry, and push order bell are won. In this way, both the damage lottery and the attack right lottery are not executed in the same game, and either the damage lottery or the attack right lottery is executed. Therefore, the player's attention can be drawn to either the damage lottery or the attack right lottery.

(8) As described in the equations (1) and (2), the medal award rate is 1 or more in both the non-battle ART and the battle ART. Therefore, in non-battle ART and battle ART, the net increase in the number of medals can be increased, and the attack right can be accumulated. Further, both the non-battle ART and the battle ART have the same medal award rate. Therefore, in the non-battle ART and the battle ART, the process related to the medal grant can be simplified as compared with the slot machines having different medal grant rates.

Further, in the battle AT, since the battle production based on one attack right is executed over two games, the net increase in the number of medals is increased as compared with the slot machine in which the battle production of one game is executed. be able to.

(9) In addition, in a game in which a battle lip is won during a battle production, when the game is operated by reverse pressing, a white 7 lip wins a prize. In the next game of the game, as shown in FIG. 16, the ally character corresponding to the winning white 7 lip (the ally character corresponding to the white 7 reel derived by winning the white 7 lip) is displayed. .. Therefore, not only the reel design but also the displayed ally character can make the player recognize the expected degree of damage to the enemy character.

(10) Further, in the game in which the battle lip is won during the battle production, the white 7 lip navigation effect (see FIG. 17 (A)) is executed. Further, when the player operates in a pressing order different from the pressing order notified by the White 7 Lip Navi effect due to an erroneous operation of the player, the White 7 Lip does not win a prize. Assuming that "a slot machine that cannot damage an enemy character when the White 7 Lip does not win a prize", the player who made the erroneous operation feels regret. On the other hand, in the slot machine of this embodiment, the damage given to the enemy character is determined based on the winning of the battle lip, not the winning of the white 7 lip. Therefore, it is possible to damage the enemy character even when the operation is performed in a pressing order different from the pressing order notified by the White 7 Lipnavi effect. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player who has made an erroneous operation from feeling regret.

(11) In the battle production, one of the two types of enemy characters appears and battles with the ally character. Of the two types of enemy characters, defeating a strong enemy character (enemy character with a high HP) has a higher advantage than defeating a weak enemy character (enemy character with a low HP). Therefore, in the battle production, the player's attention can be attracted to the enemy characters that appear, and the interest of the battle production can be improved.

(12) In addition, the battle lip includes a battle lip 5 that can always defeat the enemy character. In the game in which Battle Lip 5 is won, when White 7 Lip Navi production is executed and the reverse push operation notified by the White 7 Lip Navi production is executed, White 7 Lip 5 with White 7 Lips on all reels wins a prize. To do. Therefore, when the White 7 Lipnavi effect is executed, it is possible to provide the player with a sense of expectation that the White 7 will be derived to all reels.

(13) Next, in the game in which the battle lip is won, the reason why the push order for winning the white 7 lip is reversed will be explained. No penalty or the like is given to the slot machine of the present embodiment regardless of the push order. Therefore, when the player is controlled by RT1, the promotion replay may be won by the player operating other than the forward push, and the player may be controlled by RT3 even though it is not AT. In addition, Battle Lip is a winning role that is won only by RT3. Here, in general, the player operates the stop switch by pressing the stop switch forward. Assuming that in the game in which the battle lip is won, if the push order for winning the white 7 lip is set to be forward, if it is controlled by RT3 even though it is not AT, when the battle effect is not executed. , White 7 rip may win a prize, and the premierness of White 7 rip may be lost. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by reversing the push order for winning the White 7 Lip, the White 7 Lip is not won as much as possible even if it is controlled by RT3 even though it is not AT. Can be done. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the premierness of White 7 Lip from being lost.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, the slot machine of the second embodiment will be described. In the description of the first embodiment, the bonus combination to be transferred to the bonus state is not described. In the second embodiment, the slot machine including the bonus combination will be described. Further, the AT lottery table of the slot machine of the second embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 12, and the transition control of the special ART shown in FIG. 13 can be executed. In addition, the battle effect of the first embodiment can be executed even during the special ART. Further, in the first embodiment, 7 rips 1 to 5 are provided as winning combinations and battle rips 1 to 5 are provided as winning combinations, while in the second embodiment, bar rips 1 and 2 are provided as winning combinations (see FIG. 20). , With battle rips 1 and 2 as winners (see FIG. 25). The symbol suggesting damage to the enemy character is white 7 in the first embodiment, while it is a bar in the second embodiment. Further, in the second embodiment, the attack right lottery table of FIGS. 14 and 15 (B) is used, and only the battle rip 1 and the battle rip 2 of FIG. 15 (A) are defined (battle rips 3 to 5 are omitted). The damage lottery table is used.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels of the second embodiment, and FIGS. 19 and 20 are diagrams showing types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and the like. BB1 and BB2 shown in FIG. 19 are winning combinations with a transition to an advantageous state of bonus. In the payout number column of BB1 and BB2, the end condition of the bonus transferred by winning is shown. Each bonus ends when more than a predetermined number of medals are paid out. For example, a bonus controlled by winning / winning BB1 ends in a game in which the number of medals paid out during the bonus is 351 or more.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a combination of symbols for transitions. The transition roll shown in FIG. 21 is a roll that is aligned with the winning line LN when operated in a push order (incorrect answer push order) different from the corresponding push order of the push order bell shown in FIG. 29.

FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, RT0 to RT4 in which the replay is won with a predetermined winning probability (see the numerical value in the replay combination column in the upper figure of FIG. 23) and RT0 to RT4 in which the winning probability of the small winning combination is RT0 to RT4. Of a plurality of types of gaming states including a bonus that is improved more than the time, it is controlled to one of the corresponding gaming states from the time when the start condition is satisfied until the end condition is satisfied (shown along the arrow in FIG. 22). Refer to the winning combination or the outcome, see the start condition / end condition column in the upper figure of FIG. 23).

Further, when either BB1 or BB2 is won, it is controlled by RT4 (inside the bonus) regardless of whether it is AT (including special ART) or non-AT. The winning flag set when either BB1 or BB2 is won is carried over until the winning BB wins. RT4 is continuously controlled from the winning of BB to the occurrence of winning BB. In RT4, it is lower than in RT0 and RT2, and the replay is won with the same probability as in RT1 and RT3 (see the numerical value in the replay combination column in the upper figure of FIG. 23). The replay probability in RT4 is set to the probability that the payout rate does not exceed 1 even if the winning small winning combination can be won without being missed. In other words, the replay probability in RT4 is that the total number of medals to be paid out when winning a small winning combination during RT4 without failing is the number of medals or medals used to set the number of bets during RT4. It is set to a probability that the total number of medals will not be exceeded and the number of medals will not increase. When a BB prize is generated during RT4, the bonus is controlled, and the bonus ends when the number of medals or more described in FIG. 19 is paid out, and the bonus is controlled to RT3. The type of replay drawn internally is determined for each type of RT (the circle in the lower figure of FIG. 23 indicates the replay drawn).

Further, when controlled by the BB during the AT, the rights related to the AT (for example, the number of remaining AT games, the attack right, etc.) are reserved. After that, when the controlled BB ends, it is controlled by the RT3 while retaining the right regarding the reserved AT.

24 and 25 are diagrams showing a combination of lottery target combinations read out as lottery target combinations for each game state. The name is shown in the lottery target combination column, and the game status column indicates that the lottery target combination is a lottery target for each type of RT, and the winning probability is determined by the numerical value under the circle. The number of judgment values involved is shown. For example, the bell is a lottery target winning combination of 360/65536 in any of RT0 to RT3 states. During RT4, the bonus lottery is not done, but the winning combination that can be won at the same time as the bonus (hereinafter also referred to as the simultaneous winning combination) has the same probability as during other RTs. For weak watermelons, an internal lottery is performed based on the number of judgment values shown in parentheses.

Among the bonuses, for example, the middle bell is set as a lottery target combination, and it is set to win with an extremely high probability (64000/65536). In addition, the middle bell is a role that can generate a prize regardless of the operation timing. Therefore, during the bonus, the middle bell prize can be generated with an extremely high probability regardless of the operation timing and the pressing order, and the number of medals can be efficiently increased. Therefore, the bonus is in an advantageous state for the player.

Further, as shown in FIG. 25, Battle Replay 1 and Battle Replay 2 are won during RT2 (ART).

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a combination of winning combinations included in the winning combination included in the lottery target combination. For example, the weak cherry is the lower cherry. Weak watermelons include downward-sloping watermelons, upper watermelons, and middle watermelons. Therefore, when the weak watermelon is won in the internal lottery, the right-down watermelon, the upper watermelon, and the middle watermelon are won.

Among the lottery target combinations, bonus 1 to bonus 12 are combinations in which BB1 or BB2 and a predetermined winning combination such as a weak cherry or a bell can be read out at the same time and won. Further, as shown in FIG. 24, different determination values are set for the bonus 1 to the bonus 12. For this reason, the percentage of BB1 or BB2 actually winning at the same time (hereinafter, also referred to as reliability), which is an advantage for the player and when the simultaneous winning combination is won, is included in bonuses 6 and 12, etc. The number of judgment values is determined so that the middle cherry is the highest, followed by the strong cherry, the strong watermelon, the weak cherry, and the weak watermelon, and the bell (hereinafter, also referred to as the middle bell) is the lowest.

27 to 29 are diagrams for explaining reel control when a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won. For each winning lottery target combination, when the stop operation is performed in the push order shown in the push order column, reel control is performed to stop the symbol combination of the winning combination shown in the symbol combination to be stopped to the right at the winning line LN. For example, when the replay GR1 is won, the promotion replay 1 is derived when the push order is left, middle and right, and the normal replay is derived when the push order is other than left, middle and right. Also, for example, when the left bell is won, if the push order is the left first stop, the right-down bell is derived, and if the push order is other than the left first stop, the upper bell or the transition roll. Is derived.

Further, when the battle lip 1 or the battle lip 2 is won, the bar replay is derived when the push order is reverse push, and the normal replay is derived when the push order is other than the reverse push.

Further, when the simultaneous winning combination is won, reel control different from that when the simultaneous winning combination is not won may be performed. For example, when a weak watermelon is won, a reel control is performed in which the lower right watermelon or the upper watermelon is prioritized over the middle watermelon and pulled into the winning line, whereas when a strong watermelon is won, the lower right watermelon is performed. Reel control is performed to prioritize the middle watermelon over either the watermelon or the upper watermelon and pull it onto the winning line. In addition, when a weak cherry or a strong cherry is won, reel control is performed to pull the lower cherry onto the winning line, and when the middle cherry is won, reel control is performed to pull the middle cherry onto the winning line. .. This makes it possible to estimate whether the reels 2L to 2R are cherry or watermelon, weak or strong, or middle-tier cherry from the combination of symbols when the reels 2L to 2R are stopped, and if the expectations for bonus winning or AT winning are different. Can be made.

[Relationship between RT status, winning combination, and navigation production]
FIG. 30 shows the relationship between the RT state, the winning combination, and the navigation effect. The relationship between the RT state, the winning combination, and the navigation effect will be described with reference to FIG. During RT2 (usually controlled by AT), the navigation effect is not executed in the game in which the normal lip is won. This is because the normal lip is the role that the normal lip wins regardless of the push order. As a result, it is possible to prevent unnecessary navigation effects from being executed.

In the game in which the push order bell is won during RT2 and RT4, a navigation effect for notifying the correct push order is executed. Further, in the game in which the push order rip (replay GR11 to 13) is won during RT2, a navigation effect for notifying the correct push order is executed. Also, during RT2, no special lip will be won. As described above, in FIG. 30, the fact that the winning combination is not won is indicated by "-".

In addition, the navigation effect is not executed in the game in which the normal lip and the special lip are won during RT4 (inside the bonus). This is because the normal rip and the special rip are the roles that the normal rip wins regardless of the push order. As a result, it is possible to prevent unnecessary navigation effects from being executed.

Further, the navigation effect when the push order bell in FIG. 30 is won and the navigation effect when the push order lip is won are in the same mode (display mode of push order, sound output mode, and LED light emission mode). Will be executed.

[About the production performed when a cherry or watermelon is won]
FIG. 31 is a diagram for explaining the effect executed in the game after the cherry or watermelon is won during the special ART (for example, during the non-battle ART or the battle ART shown in FIG. 13). FIG. 31 will be used to describe the effect performed when the cherry or watermelon is won.

FIG. 31A is a diagram for explaining the effect executed in the game when the cherry and BB are simultaneously elected during the special ART, and after the watermelon and BB are simultaneously elected during the special ART. In addition, when cherry and BB are simultaneously elected during the special ART, and when watermelon and BB are simultaneously elected during the special ART, the attack right is granted by being controlled by RT4 and executing the attack right lottery. (See FIGS. 14 and 15 (B)).

As shown in FIG. 31 (a), a chance effect is executed in a game in which a normal replay is won during RT4. The chance production is a production that suggests the possibility that the attack right has been granted. The chance effect is, for example, an effect of displaying characters such as "CHANGE!". By executing the chance production, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the attack right may have been granted. In addition, the chance effect is an effect that is executed with a predetermined probability even when the attack right is not granted. In this case, the chance production is a so-called ghost production.

In addition, in the situation where the chance production is executed, it is highly likely that the attack right has been granted, that is, it is highly likely that the cherry or watermelon has been won. Therefore, when the chance effect is executed, it can be said that the control is controlled by RT4 by winning the BB, or the control to RT2 is maintained without winning the BB. Further, as described in FIG. 30, when the normal lip is won during RT4, the navigation effect is not executed. In a game in which a normal lip is won, the normal lip wins regardless of the push order.

As shown in FIG. 31 (a), in the game in which the push order bell is won during RT4, the chance effect is executed and the navigation effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 31 (c), when the special replay is won during RT4, neither the navigation effect nor the attack right grant effect is executed. The attack right granting effect is an effect of notifying that the attack right has been granted. The attack right granting effect is, for example, an effect of displaying characters such as "attack right GET!".

Next, it is a figure for demonstrating the effect executed in the game after the cherry or the watermelon is won alone (BB is not won) during the special ART. Even if a watermelon or cherry is won alone during the special ART, the RT state maintains control over RT2, and the attack right is granted by executing the attack right lottery (see FIGS. 14 and 15 (B)). ).

As shown in FIG. 31 (d), the chance effect is executed in the game in which the normal replay is won during RT2. Further, as described in FIG. 30, when the normal lip is won during RT2, the navigation effect is not executed. As shown in FIG. 31 (e), in the game in which the push order bell is won during RT2, the chance effect is executed and the navigation effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 31 (f), when the push order replay is won during RT2, the navigation effect is executed. In the game in which the push order replay is won, when the replay (either the fall replay or the normal replay) is won by the third stop, the attack right granting effect is executed. When the player operates in the order of pressing notified by the navigation effect, the control to RT2 is maintained by winning a normal lip.

Next, with reference to FIG. 31, a suggestion event suggesting that the BB has not been won will be described. In the following, the situation where the cherry or watermelon is won alone and the BB is not won is referred to as "BB non-winning situation", and the situation where the cherry or watermelon is simultaneously won with BB is referred to as "BB winning situation".

If the BB is won and the BB is won, the player is controlled to a bonus state that is advantageous to the player, so that the player has a sense of expectation that the BB has been won. The BB non-winning event that has not won the BB will be described below.

As shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (c), in the game in which the normal lip is won, the chance effect is executed regardless of whether the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation is obtained. Navigation effect is not executed. In addition, regardless of whether the game is a BB winning situation or a BB non-winning situation, the normal lip wins in the game regardless of the pushing order. Therefore, in the game in which the normal lip is won, the player cannot determine whether the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation. Therefore, it can be said that the BB non-winning event has not occurred.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (e), in the game in which the push order bell is won, chance production and navigation are performed regardless of whether the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation is obtained. The production is executed. In addition, regardless of whether the game is a BB winning situation or a BB non-winning situation, in the game, the downward-sloping bell or the middle bell is won by operating in the push order notified by the navigation effect ( (See FIG. 29). Therefore, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the player cannot determine whether the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation. Therefore, it can be said that the BB non-winning event has not occurred.

Next, FIG. 31 (c) will be described. As shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (c), the fact that the chance effect was executed but the navigation effect was not executed and the replay was won is either the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation. The player cannot determine whether or not. Therefore, it can be said that the BB non-winning event has not occurred.

Next, FIG. 31 (f) will be described. In the example of FIG. 31 (f), the chance effect and the navigation effect (in the example of FIG. 31 (f), the navigation effect for notifying the first right stop) are executed. When the operation is performed in the push order notified by the navigation effect, the normal replay wins, and when the push order is different from the push order, the fall replay wins. In this way, the replay wins a prize regardless of whether the push order is notified by the navigation effect or the push order is different from the push order. When a replay wins, it means that the replay has won. Further, the fact that the replay is won and the push order is notified does not mean that it is controlled by RT4, but that it is controlled by RT2 (see FIG. 30). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 31 (f), when the navigation effect is executed and the replay wins, the player determines that the BB has not been won, that is, a BB non-winning event has occurred. It can be said that it can be done. The attack right granting effect is executed when the BB non-winning event occurs.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (e), the game in which the chance effect and the navigation effect are executed is in either the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation until the display result is derived. The player cannot determine whether or not there is. In the game in which the chance effect and the navigation effect are executed, when the bell wins, the player cannot determine whether the BB winning situation or the BB non-winning situation, and when the replay wins, the BB non-winning event Can be said to have occurred (it can be said that the player can determine that a BB non-winning event has occurred). In addition, as shown in FIG. 31 (f), if the cherry is won (chance production is executed) and a non-winning event occurs, the attack right is granted when the replay wins. The effect is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds).

[Effect of this embodiment]
Next, the main effects obtained by the present embodiment will be described.

(1) According to the configuration of the present embodiment, when the cherry is won (chance production is executed) and the BB non-winning event occurs (BB is not won), the attack right is granted. An attack right granting effect that notifies that the grant has been granted is executed. Further, even if the attack right is granted, this attack right granting effect is not executed when the BB winning event occurs (when the BB is won) (see FIG. 31 (c)). ). Therefore, the disappointment when a BB non-winning event occurs (BB is not won) can be alleviated by executing the attack right granting effect.

(2) Further, the game in which the BB non-winning event occurs is randomly determined from a plurality of games after the cherry-winning game. For example, as shown in FIG. 31 (B), whether or not a BB non-winning event occurs after a game in which Cherry wins alone (a game in which BB does not win), that is, whether or not a push order replay is won. Is randomly determined by an internal lottery of the main control unit 41. Therefore, in the game in which the cherry is won, that is, the game after the game in which the chance effect is executed, a feeling of tension can be felt.

(3) Further, the BB non-winning event occurs when the replay wins a prize in the game in which the chance effect and the navigation effect are executed, as shown in FIG. 31 (f). Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the BB has not been won by the effect to be executed and the display result derived.

(4) Further, when the attack right lottery is executed, the attack right granting effect is executed when a BB non-winning event occurs in the game after the game in which the attack right lottery is executed. Therefore, since the timing of the attack right lottery and the timing of executing the attack right granting effect can be separated from each other, the processing burden is reduced as compared with the slot machine that executes the attack right lottery and the attack right granting effect together. Can be reduced.

(5) Further, the present embodiment has the battle lip 1 and the battle lip 2 described in the first embodiment. Therefore, the effect described in the first embodiment is also achieved. Further, the slot machine of the first embodiment can also exhibit the effect of the second embodiment as long as it includes a BB as a winning combination.

[Modification example]
Although examples of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these examples. The present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications and the like applicable to the present invention will be described. Further, at least two of the technical items described in the above-described present embodiment and the technical items described in the following modification may be combined and implemented, and the technical items described in the above-mentioned present embodiment may be implemented. May be carried out by substituting with the technical matters described in the following modified example, or the technical items described in the following modified example may be further combined and carried out with respect to the replaced one. ..

[About BB non-winning suggestion events]
The BB non-winning suggestion event of the present embodiment has been described as an event that occurs when the chance effect and the navigation effect are executed and the replay wins a prize. However, the BB non-winning suggestion event is not limited to such an event, and may be another event. For example, the slot machine of this modification can derive a suggestion display result suggesting that the BB has not been won. The BB non-winning suggestion event may be an event generated by deriving the suggestion display result. Here, the suggestion display result may be CB. CB is a challenge bonus, and is a game in which all small roles (bells 1 to middle cherries shown in FIG. 24) are won. Winning the challenge bonus will be carried over until you win, just like BB. The challenge bonus is a role that does not win when another bonus (for example, BB) is won. The challenge bonus is started when the CB symbol is derived on the winning line in the game in which the challenge bonus is won. During the challenge bonus, all small roles will be won. Further, during the challenge bonus, the pull-in range of at least one of the three reels is 1 frame or less, and the pull-in range of the remaining reels of the 3 reels is 4 frames or less.

As described above, the BB non-winning suggestion event may be an event generated by deriving a suggestion display result such as CB. As a result, the player may be made to recognize that the BB non-winning suggestion event has occurred only by the display result.

Further, the BB non-winning suggestion event is not limited to the above, and the BB non-winning suggestion event may be, for example, an event in which the BB non-winning effect executed when the BB is not won is executed. ..

[About battle production]
(1) In the present embodiment, the second role (for example, Battle Lip 2) having a higher expected value of the damage lottery than the first role (for example, Battle Lip 1) in which the damage lottery is executed However, it was explained that the number of reels from which White 7 is derived is large. However, the number of white 7s derived may be larger in the second combination than in the first combination. For example, in the first and second reels, white 7 is not derived to the left reel and the middle reel, while white 7 is derived to the right reel, and in the right reel, white 7 is 2 in the second reel. Although the number is derived, in the first role, one white 7 may be derived. With such a configuration, the player's attention can be drawn to the number of whites 7 derived, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(2) In the present embodiment, the corresponding symbol corresponding to the battle lip (the symbol symbolizing the battle lip, white 7 in the first embodiment, and BAR in the second embodiment) is within 5 frames in each reel. Explained as being placed. That is, it has been described that when each battle lip is operated in the push order (correct answer push order) notified by the navigation effect, the number of corresponding symbols corresponding to the battle lip is derived regardless of the operation timing. However, in at least one specific reel among the three reels, the corresponding symbols may be arranged at a distance of 5 frames or more. In the case of such a configuration, in the specific reel, when the operation is performed at a specific timing, the corresponding symbol is derived, and when the specific reel is operated at a timing different from the specific timing, the corresponding symbol is not derived. Reel control is executed. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player feel a sense of tension about operating the specific reel at a specific timing.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the damage lottery is executed when the battle lip is won. However, the damage lottery may be, for example, a winning of White 7 Lips. In this case, for example, when "a configuration in which the corresponding symbols are arranged at least 5 frames apart in at least one specific reel among the three reels" is adopted, depending on the operation timing of the specific reel. , White 7 reels may not win. Therefore, according to such a configuration, it is possible to give the player a feeling of tension for operating the specific reel at a specific timing. In addition, "a configuration in which the corresponding symbols are arranged at least 5 frames apart in at least one specific reel out of 3 reels" and "The damage lottery is not executed unless White 7 Lip wins (damage is given). If White 7 Lip does not win in the case of adopting "Structure", the attack right may not be reduced. According to such a configuration, in comparison with "a slot machine in which White 7 Lip cannot do damage by not winning, but the attack right is reduced", White 7 Lip does damage by not winning. You can reduce the disappointment that you cannot do.

In addition, in the case of adopting "a configuration in which the corresponding symbols are arranged at least 5 frames apart in at least one specific reel among the 3 reels", for example, the timing at which the white 7 lip cannot be won. When the operation is performed with, the display result in which White 7 is not derived at all may be derived. This makes it possible for the player to clearly recognize that White 7 Lip has not won a prize.

Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the corresponding symbols are arranged on each of the three reels, but the corresponding symbols are arranged on each of the two reels, and the other reels are arranged. It may not be.

(3) In the present embodiment, it has been described that whether or not the player wins the last battle effect is determined by a random number lottery executed at a predetermined timing among the four games in which the last battle effect is executed. However, whether or not the player has won the last battle effect is determined by executing an attack right lottery (for example, see FIG. 14) between the four games in which the last battle effect is executed, and the attack right is granted by the attack right lottery. By determining that, it is determined that the player has won the last battle effect, and by determining that the attack right is not granted by the attack right lottery, it is determined that the player has lost the last battle effect. It may be. According to such a configuration, the types of lottery by the main control unit 41 can be reduced, so that the burden on the main control unit 41 can be reduced.

(4) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the special AT is controlled regardless of whether the strong cherry is won during the non-AT or the strong watermelon is won during the non-AT. It was explained as. That is, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the advantage for the player is the same regardless of whether the strong cherry is won during the non-AT or the strong watermelon is won during the non-AT. However, the advantage for the player may be different depending on whether the strong cherry is won during the non-AT and the strong watermelon is won during the non-AT. For example, when the strong watermelon is won, it is only controlled by the special AT, but when the strong cherry is won, it is controlled by the special AT and a predetermined privilege may be given. Here, the predetermined privilege is, for example, an attack right. Further, the number to which the attack right is granted may be determined by a random number lottery or the like. It is possible to attract the attention of the player to the winning combination during non-AT, that is, the display result based on the winning combination.

(5) In the present embodiment, as a condition for returning from the battle AT to the non-battle AT, the condition that the total amount of damage determined by one or more damage lottery exceeds the HP of the enemy character is illustrated. .. However, the condition for returning from the battle AT to the non-battle AT may be determined by one lottery. With such a configuration, the burden of lottery processing can be reduced.

(6) As shown in FIG. 17, the battle effect of the present embodiment is executed over two games, the damage and the number of attackers of allies are determined in the first game, and the damage determined in the second game is suggested. Explained as doing. As a modification of the battle effect, the number of attackers according to the number of reels (or the type of battle lip won) from which White 7 was derived in the first game, and the damage lottery table according to the number of reels are determined. , You may not decide on the damage. Here, the damage lottery table has damage lottery tables 1 to 5 according to each of the battle rips 1 to 5, and the damage expectation of the damage lottery tables 1 to 5 is the damage lottery table 1, the damage lottery table 3, and the damage. The number increases in the order of lottery table 2, damage lottery table 4, and damage lottery table 5. In addition, for each of the damage lottery tables 1 to 5, damage is stipulated according to the winning combination. For example, a winning combination with a low winning probability (for example, a rare role such as cherry and watermelon) suffers a lot of damage. It is stipulated to be given.

In the second game of the battle effect, the determined damage lottery table is used to determine the damage corresponding to the winning combination in the second game as the damage given to the enemy character in the second game. For example, when a rare role is won in the second game, a lot of damage can be given to the enemy character in the second game. According to such a configuration, the damage that can be given in the battle production is related not only to the winning role in the first game of the battle production but also to the winning role in the second game. Not only that, the winning role in the second game can also attract the attention of the player.

(7) The number of games of the battle effect based on the attack right of 1 of the present embodiment has been described as 2 games. However, the number of games for battle production based on one attack right may be three or more. In this case, for example, the damage may be determined in the first game in which the battle lip is won, and the effect of giving the determined damage may be executed in the final game of the battle effect. Further, the number of games for the battle effect may be determined by a game number lottery (random number lottery). For example, when Battle Lip 1 is won, the damage is determined and the number of games for the battle effect is determined by the number of games lottery. Here, in the game number lottery, the number of games is determined so that the larger the damage given, the larger the number of games for the battle effect. When the number of games is determined, the effect of giving the determined damage is executed in the final game of the battle effect. According to such a configuration, the player's attention can be attracted to the number of games in which the battle effect is executed.

[About internal lottery]
(1) In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, the special replay has been described as not being won at RT2, but may be won at RT2. Further, although it has been explained that the push order replay is not won at RT4, it may be won at RT4. In the case where the push order replay is won at RT4, even if the push order replay is won during the RT4, the navigation effect is not executed. Further, in the case where the special replay is won during RT2, when the special replay is won during RT2, the navigation effect may be executed or the navigation effect may not be executed.

As described above, even if the push order replay is configured to win at RT4, the same effect as the effect described in the second embodiment can be obtained.

(2) In the first embodiment, the winning probabilities of Battle Lips 1 to 5 are the same (see FIG. 11), and in the second embodiment, the winning probabilities of Battle Lip 1 and Battle Lip 2 are the same (see FIG. 25). ). However, the winning probabilities of each battle lip may be different. For example, the winning probability may be lowered for a battle lip with a high expected value of a bonus lottery. For example, in the first embodiment, the winning probability of the battle lip 5 may be the lowest among the battle rips 1 to 5, and the winning probability of the battle rip 5 may be the highest.

[About rights]
In the second embodiment, the "predetermined right regarding control to the advantageous state" is exemplified as the "attack right consumed to execute the lottery process". However, the predetermined right is not limited to the attack right and may be another right. For example, when the advantageous state is AT, the predetermined right may be an AT game.

[About benefits]
As a privilege, mainly AT games and attack rights were illustrated. As described above, in this embodiment, the value that directly affects the payout rate of medals and pachinko balls is illustrated. However, in the first embodiment, the privilege may be the number of games to be transferred to an advantageous state, a bonus winning, or the like. Further, the privilege may be a value that improves the degree of advantage for the player, and may be, for example, a value that does not directly affect the medal payout rate. Specifically, when a high-probability state of winning an AT with a higher probability than usual is provided in the AT lottery, execution of a probability suggestion effect for suggesting whether or not the current state is a high-probability state. , Execution of premier effect with voice on liquid crystal display 51 (special character appearance, execution of special bonus effect during the next bonus), execution of set value suggestion effect to suggest the set value, By collecting a certain number, points can be given that can be exchanged for services specified at the game store where the slot machine 1 is installed, and a two-dimensional code that allows you to download privilege videos and privilege information on a predetermined website is displayed on the liquid crystal display. It may be displayed on the vessel 51.

Further, although the number of AT games is illustrated as an example of the privilege, the privilege related to AT is not limited to this, and for example, the right (navistock) that allows the AT to control a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) may be a privilege. Good. In addition, when the number of times the navigation effect can be executed is determined and the AT is controlled until the navigation effect is executed for the determined number of times the navigation effect can be executed, the number of times the navigation effect can be executed is also a privilege. Good. Further, for example, when the upper limit grant amount is determined and the AT is controlled until the granted game value (the number of medals paid out) reaches the determined upper limit grant amount, the upper limit grant amount may be a privilege. Further, when the AT is controlled from the time when the predetermined AT start condition is satisfied until the predetermined AT end condition is satisfied and the continuous lottery for whether or not to continue the AT is performed when the AT end condition is satisfied, the continuation is continued. The continuation probability determined to continue in the lottery may be a privilege.

[Advantageous condition]
In the above-mentioned example, as an advantageous state, a big bonus (BB) or AT in which the winning probability of a small winning combination is higher than that in a predetermined state is exemplified for a slot machine, but in a state advantageous for a player. If there is, it is not limited to this, and an example of a slot machine will be described below.

Advantageous states are, for example, regular bonus (RB) and replay time (RT) where the probability of winning a predetermined winning combination is high, the concentration state of small winning combination, and the pull-in range of at least one reel is higher than usual. It does not change the challenge time (CT), which allows all small wins to occur in each game as it narrows, the winning probability of winning wins, etc., but determines the push order for winning the winning small wins. It may be a pseudo-bonus that notifies over a period (for example, until 50 games are exhausted). In addition, there may be a state in which the probability of being controlled by these advantageous states is high, a state in which the probability of being controlled in the freeze state is high, and the number of games such as the number of AT games is high. An advantageous state different from the above embodiment may be set, such as a state in which the game is added and a state in which the number of additional games in the AT is likely to be increased. In addition, it is indirectly advantageous for the player, such as a condition for obtaining a privilege on the communication network and a state in which the probability of satisfying a condition for executing a premium effect (freeze effect, premium effect, etc.) is high. It may be a special privilege or a state of improving the interest of the game. Further, the permissible determination means for determining whether or not to allow the transition to an advantageous state is not limited to the internal lottery process, and may be a means for determining regardless of the winning combination.

In addition, the advantageous state is, for example, in the privilege grant lottery for determining whether or not to grant the privilege, the "probability of the privilege being granted" and the "granted when the privilege is determined to be granted". At least one of the "value of the privilege (or the expected value of the privilege amount)" may be higher than the normal state (a state different from the advantageous state). Further, the advantageous state may mean that the number of triggers for executing the privilege granting lottery is larger than that in the normal state. Further, the advantageous state may be a state in which the number of games required for digestion required to be digested in order to grant the privilege is smaller than the normal state.

For example, when the privilege is the number of AT games, the advantageous state is "AT winning probability in AT lottery" and "AT given when AT is won in AT lottery" than in the normal state. At least one of the "value of the number of games" may be higher than the normal state. Further, the advantageous state may be one in which the number of triggers for executing the AT lottery is larger than that in the normal state. For example, when the execution opportunity of the AT lottery in the normal state is the first combination winning and the second combination winning, the execution opportunity of the AT lottery in the advantageous state is the first combination winning and the second combination winning. In addition, the third role may be won.

[Other variants]
