Description

The present invention relates to a spinning machine and other game machines such as slot machines.

Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine, an AT state is provided as an effect state in which an AT game that is more advantageous to the player than a normal game is performed. Based on the winning of the lottery, the production state is shifted to the AT state (for example, Patent Document 1). Then, the conventional gaming machine is configured to shift to a precursor mode that suggests whether or not the AT lottery has been won before shifting the effect state to the AT state. Therefore, in the precursor mode, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the transition to the AT state.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-09971

However, in recent years, since gaming machines with various tastes have appeared, the production state is simply shifted to the precursor mode based on the winning of the AT lottery, as in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, and the precursor mode is used. It is difficult to attract players with the playability of shifting to the AT state after the end of the mode. Therefore, the appearance of a gaming machine capable of improving playability is awaited.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving playability.

In order to solve the above problem, in the present invention, the first end condition is satisfied in the first effect state in which the privilege related to the game can be given, and the first effect state ends in the state where the privilege is given. In that case, the first effect state is terminated and the state is shifted to the special effect state, and the first effect state is set in the state where the first end condition is satisfied in the first effect state and the privilege is not given. When ending, the first effect state is not terminated to shift to the special effect state, and the special effect state is terminated based on the satisfaction of the second end condition in the special effect state to obtain the second effect state. a shifting unit for shifting to, and a determination means for determining whether to transition the to first effect state in the special effect states, the transition means, said determining means before the establishment of the second end condition wherein when determining the transition to the first effect state is characterized in that to the transition to the special effect state first effect state before Symbol terminate to.

According to the present invention, the effect state shifts in the order of the first effect state, the special effect state, and the second effect state, but if the transition to the first effect state is determined during the stay in the special effect state, the effect state changes again. 1 Shift to the production state. As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to secure a transition route from the special effect state to the first effect state, increase the chances of granting the privilege, and improve the playability.

In the above configuration, a predetermined lottery can be executed in the second effect state, and when the transition means does not win the predetermined lottery in the second effect state, the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is characterized in that it is possible to end the second effect state and shift to the special effect state. Further, a plurality of types of the benefits are provided, and the determining means determines the transition to the first effect state in the special effect state, so that the effect state shifts from the special effect state to the first effect state. When staying in the first effect state before and after the special effect state, the transition means stays after the previous first effect state and the special effect state that stayed before the special effect state. The special effect state that has ended due to the transition to the first effect state this time is switched to the new special effect state based on the fact that the benefits of different types are given to the first effect state. Therefore, after the end of the first effect state of this time, the state is shifted to the new special effect state.

In this configuration, the effect state changes in the order of the first effect state, the special effect state, and the first effect state by the decision to shift to the first effect state in the special effect state, and stays before and after the special effect state. Since different types of benefits can be given in both first production states, it is possible to improve the taste of the game.

In particular, in this configuration, when different types of benefits are given between the previous first production state and the current first production state, the special production state that has ended due to the transition to the current first production state is new. It is configured to switch to a special production state. Therefore, by switching the special effect state to a new special effect state, it is possible to suggest that different types of benefits have been granted between the previous first effect state and the current first effect state. , It is possible to enrich the variation of the transition of the production state.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of improving playability.

Next, each control processing unit constituting the slot machine S will be described with reference to FIG.

The main control processing unit 100 is provided inside the housing 1, and includes a main CPU, a main ROM, and a main RAM. The main control processing unit 100 includes an insertion medal sensor 11a for detecting the passage of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 11, a MAX bet button 12, a single bet button 13, a settlement button 14, a start lever 15, and each stop button 16. ~ 18, other devices are connected.

The main CPU uses a program stored in the main ROM based on the fact that a signal from each device connected to the main control processing unit 100 or a signal from a timer counter (not shown) is input to the main control processing unit 100. It reads out and executes various processes, and sends a command to the sub-control processing unit 200 according to the result of the process. The main RAM functions as a data work area during processing by the main CPU.

The sub-control processing unit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and controls the execution of each effect mainly performed during the game. The sub-control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub-control processing unit 200.

The sub CPU reads the program stored in the sub ROM and performs arithmetic processing based on the command or the like transmitted from the main control processing unit 100, and based on the processing, the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the sub monitor Controls a 6th-class production device. The sub RAM functions as a data work area during arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

In the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100, the start lever activation means 101 that activates the operation of the start lever 15 by inserting a specified number of medals, and the operation of the activated start lever 15 (hereinafter referred to as the game start operation). The winning area associated with the winning combination is determined by the internal lottery from a plurality of types based on the internal lottery means 102, and the winning flag of the winning combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery is set. The winning flag control means 103 to be established, the reel control means 110 to control the rotation and stop of each of the reels 34 to 36, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination are displayed on the effective line L (hereinafter, simply "the small winning combination has won a prize". In that case, the specified number is displayed when the medal payout means 105 for paying out a predetermined number of medals associated with the small winning combination and the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination are displayed on the effective line L. The re-game setting means 106 that sets the re-game that enables the next game without inserting the medal, the game state control means 107 that controls the game state that is the operating state of the main control processing unit 100, and the main monitor 10. The main monitor control means 108 for controlling the display of the above, and the effect mode control means 120 for controlling the effect mode which is the operating state of the sub control processing unit 200 are constructed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the game state is set to a normal state in which the winning probability of the small winning combination is set to the normal probability, and a CB in which all the small winning combination is won regardless of the result of the internal lottery. It is roughly divided into operation. Each gaming state is classified into non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3 according to the winning probability of the re-gaming combination, and the winning probability of the re-gaming combination is set to about 1 / 7.3 for the non-RT and RT1 and RT2. And RT3 is set to about 1/2. The details of the gaming state will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 10, the effect mode is roughly classified into a non-ART mode in which a normal game is performed and an ART mode in which an ART game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game is performed. The ART game has both an AT game in which the operation order of the stop buttons is displayed on the main monitor 10 and the sub monitor 6 to facilitate the acquisition of medals, and an RT game in which the re-game combination is won with a high probability in the internal lottery. It refers to a game.

The non-ART mode is classified into five types: a normal mode, a CZ1 latent mode, a CZ1 mode, a precursor mode, and a CZ2 mode. Generally, when the player sits in front of the slot machine S and starts the game, the effect mode stays in the normal mode in the general state. In the normal mode, the CZ1 lottery described later, which triggers the transition of the production mode, is executed, and based on winning the CZ1 lottery, the production modes are the normal mode, the CZ1 latent mode, the CZ1 mode, the precursor mode, and the CZ2. It is controlled so that it can be changed in the order of modes.

The slot machine S of the present embodiment has a game property aimed at winning many medals in the ART mode, and in order to shift the production mode from the non-ART mode to the ART mode, the non-ART mode is used. It is necessary to acquire the right (privilege) of transition to ART mode in the mode. Specifically, among the non-ART modes, there is an opportunity to acquire the right to shift to the ART mode in each of the CZ1 latent mode, CZ1 mode, precursor mode, and CZ2 mode, and to the ART mode in the normal mode. There is no opportunity to acquire the right to transition. Therefore, in order to shift the production mode from the non-ART mode to the ART mode, it is first necessary to win the CZ1 lottery in the normal mode in the general state and shift the production mode to another production mode such as the CZ1 mode. However, the transition of these production modes will be described in detail later.

Returning to FIG. 3, a game information storage area 140 for storing game information related to the game, such as the right to shift to the ART mode, is constructed in the main RAM of the main control processing unit 100. The effect mode control means 120 is configured to control the transition of the effect mode based on the game information stored in the game information storage area 140.

In the sub ROM of the sub control processing unit 200, the effect mode transition means 201 for shifting the effect mode between a plurality of types of effect modes based on the instruction of the main control process unit 100, the effect determination means 202 for determining the effect, An effect executing means (transition means) 203 for executing the determined effect on an effect device such as a sub monitor 6 is constructed.

First, each means built in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

The start lever activation means 101 activates the operation of the start lever 15 by inserting three (specified number) medals in the normal state and the CB operation.

The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number for the internal lottery at the timing when the game start operation of the start lever 15 is performed, and based on the acquired random number and the type of the current game state, a plurality of types of winning areas One winning area is decided from among them. The winning area to which the winning combination is associated will be described in detail later.

If the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in the current game is the winning flag of the small winning combination or the re-game winning combination, the winning flag control means 103 sets these winning flags to the next time. Set it to OFF before the start of the next game so that it will not be carried over to the game. Further, when the game state is staying in the CB operation, the winning flag control means 103 sets all the winning flags of the small winning combination to ON at the start of the game regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and these winning flags are won. Set the flag to OFF before the start of the next game so that the flag will not be carried over to the next game.

The reel control means 110 accelerates the rotation of the reels until the rotation start means 111 for starting the rotation of the reels 34 to 36 based on the game start operation and the reels 34 to 36 reach a steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute). Rotation speed control means 112 that maintains the rotation speed when each reel reaches steady rotation, and stops button activation that activates the operations of all stop buttons 16 to 18 when the rotation speed of each reel reaches steady rotation. Means 113, rotation stop means 114 for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels according to the operation mode of the activated stop buttons 16 to 18, and a rotation cylinder for executing the rotation cylinder effect as a freeze for temporarily interrupting the progress of the game. It has an effect control means 115.

The rotation stop means 114 stops the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the stop operation of each of the stop buttons 16 to 18. Since the constant speed rotation speed of each reel is about 80 times / minute, the time required for one rotation of each reel under the constant speed rotation speed is 60 s / about 80 times ≒ about 750 ms, and one symbol is 1 The time required to move by the frame (1 area) is 750 ms / 20 symbols = 37.5 ms. Therefore, the reel can rotate up to 4 symbols (4 frames) from the corresponding stop button pressing timing (5 frames including the symbols displayed on the effective line at the stop button pressing timing) (5 frames). (190ms / 37.5ms) -1 symbol ≒ 4 symbols).

Further, the rotation stop means 114 controls the number-of-number priority control and the symbol combination so as to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination with the largest number of medal payouts on the effective line L according to the establishment state of the winning flag. Number priority control that controls the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination with the largest number of Reference to the stop control table (not shown) stored in the main ROM in advance, and / or the logic calculation for searching the symbol having the highest pull-in priority by the role-priority control that controls the reel so as to be displayed on the effective line L. Based on, the symbol with the highest priority among the symbol combinations related to the winning combination corresponding to the established winning flag is drawn to be displayed on the effective line L, and the winning flag other than the established winning flag is set. The symbol combination associated with the winning combination is kicked so as not to be displayed on the effective line L, and the reel corresponding to each stop button is stopped.

The rotating cylinder effect control means 115 controls the reels so as to execute the rotating cylinder effect in the CZ1 mode in which a plurality of types of benefits including the right to shift to the ART mode can be given. In this embodiment, a plurality of types of rotating cylinders (rotating cylinder effects A to C) are provided, and a plurality of types of rotating cylinders are provided based on the types of benefits given in the CZ1 latent mode and the CZ1 mode. It is configured to perform one of the productions.

The game state control means 107 controls the transition of the game state between the normal state and the CB operation (FIG. 9). Hereinafter, the transition of the winning combination, the winning area, and the gaming state will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 4 to 9. The batting order shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is the operation order of each of the stop buttons 16 to 18, and the batting order 1 is the order of the left stop button 16 → the middle stop button 17 → the right stop button 18, which is similar to this. In addition, batting order 2 is left → right → middle order, batting order 3 is middle → left → right order, batting order 4 is middle → right → left order, batting order 5 is right → left → middle order, batting order 6 is right It means the order of → middle → left.

The CB combination that triggers the transition to CB operation is associated with the winning area "CB" (hereinafter referred to as CB), and the CB is subject to an internal lottery in the normal state and in CB operation (hereinafter referred to as CB). FIG. 7).

For the CB combination, a symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button in the normal state in which the stop control of each reel 34 to 36 is performed within the range of 4 frames from the pressing of the stop button (hereinafter, , CB symbol combination) are associated (FIGS. 2 and 5).

As shown in FIG. 9, for example, when the CB is won in the RT3 in the normal state and the CB symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L, the gaming state is shifted to the CB-operated RT3. In the CB operation, all the winning flags of the small winning combination are established regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and the reels are stopped by the winning combination priority control that gives priority to the small winning combination over the replaying combination. Then, when one game is performed by the CB operation, the game state is shifted to the normal state RT3. It should be noted that even when the CB is won in a normal state other than the RT3 in the normal state, the transition of the gaming state when the CB is won in the RT3 in the normal state is the same, so the description thereof will be omitted.

In the example of the present embodiment, the CBB operation is provided instead of the CB operation, and the winning area "CBB" associated with the CBB combination is provided instead of the CB, and the gaming state control means 107 is the winning area in the normal state. When the "CBB" is won and the symbol combination associated with the CBB combination is displayed on the valid line L, the game state is shifted to the CBB operation, and when the number of medals paid out in the CBB operation exceeds the predetermined number, the original normal It may be configured to shift to a state.

The re-gaming combination (REP1 to 16) is a re-gaming combination having a function of maintaining a gaming state, a re-gaming combination having a function of shifting to RT1 in a normal state (hereinafter referred to as normal RT1), and RT2 in a normal state (hereinafter referred to as RT2). , A re-game combination having a transition function to the normal RT2), a re-game combination having a transition function to the normal state RT3 (hereinafter referred to as a normal RT3), and a re-game combination having a transition function to the ART mode. It is roughly divided into roles.

In the present embodiment, based on winning a replaying combination having a function of shifting to the ART mode in the normal mode in the non-ART mode, whether or not to shift from the normal mode to the CZ1 mode is determined by a CZ1 lottery. , Based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery, the production mode is shifted to the CZ1 mode or the like that can grant the right to shift to the ART mode.

REP4 usually has a transition function to RT2, and is a winning area "RT2 transition lip", a winning area "RT1 lip 1" to "RT1 lip 6" (hereinafter referred to as RT1 lip), and a winning area "RT3". It is associated with each of "Rip 1" to "RT3 Lip 6" (hereinafter referred to as RT3 Lip) (FIG. 6).

The RT1 rip is usually subject to an internal lottery at RT1, and the RT1 rip is associated with REP1 and the like having a game state maintenance function in addition to REP4 (FIG. 6).

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, REP1 to REP1 to 4 are associated with the winning area "RT1 rip 1". For example, it is assumed that the winning area "RT1 rip 1" is won in the normal RT1. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to REP4 is displayed on the effective line L based on the operation of the stop button in the batting order 1, and the game state is shifted (promoted) from the normal RT1 to the normal RT2 (A in FIG. 9). , Based on the fact that the stop button is operated in the batting order 2 to 6, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 or the like other than REP4 is displayed on the effective line L, and the game state is normally maintained at RT1.

The RT3 rip is usually subject to an internal lottery at RT3, and the RT3 rip is associated with REP1 and the like having a game state maintenance function in addition to REP4 (FIG. 6).

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, REP1 to 4 and 6 are associated with the winning area "RT3 rip 1". For example, it is assumed that the winning area "RT3 rip 1" is won in the normal RT3. In this case, based on the fact that the stop button is operated in batting order 1, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 or the like other than REP4 is displayed on the effective line L, the game state is normally maintained at RT3, and the game is stopped at batting order 2-6. Based on the operation of the button, the symbol combination corresponding to REP4 is displayed on the effective line L, and the game state is shifted (falled) from the normal RT3 to the normal RT2 (D in FIG. 9).

REP5 usually has a function of shifting to RT1, and is associated with winning areas "RT2 rip 1" to "RT2 rip 6" (hereinafter, referred to as RT2 rip). The RT2 rip is usually subject to an internal lottery at RT2, and the RT2 rip is associated with REP1 and the like having a game state maintenance function in addition to REP5 (FIG. 6).

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, REPs 1 to 5 are associated with the winning area "RT2 rip 1". For example, it is assumed that the winning area "RT2 rip 1" is won in normal RT2. In this case, when the stop button is operated in batting order 1, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 or the like other than REP5 is displayed on the effective line L to maintain the game state in normal RT2, and the stop button is operated in batting order 2-6. When this is done, the symbol combination corresponding to REP5 is displayed on the effective line L to shift (fall) the game state from the normal RT2 to the normal RT1 (B in FIG. 9).

REP6 usually has a transition function to RT3, and is independently associated with the winning area "RT3 transition lip" (hereinafter, referred to as RT3 transition lip). The RT3 transition lip is subject to an internal lottery in all of the normal RT1, normal RT2 and normal RT3 (FIG. 6).

As shown in FIG. 4, REP6 is associated with a combination of "dollar symbol or replay symbol"-"bow and arrow symbol"-"replay symbol". When the RT3 transition lip associated with REP6 is won in the internal lottery, the left stop button 16 is displayed on the effective line L in the manner of displaying the dollar symbol arranged at the symbol number 12 of the left symbol row 34a shown in FIG. The middle stop button 17 is operated in such a manner that the dollar symbol arranged at the symbol number 14 of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed at the middle position corresponding to the middle reel 35 of the display window 50, and the symbol of the right symbol row 36a is operated. It is assumed that the right stop button 18 is operated in such a manner that the dollar symbol arranged at No. 14 is displayed at the lower position corresponding to the right reel 36 of the display window 50 (hereinafter, referred to as the first special operation mode). In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, each reel 34 to 36 is stopped in a mode in which the dollar symbols are aligned in a straight line downward to the right (hereinafter, referred to as a first special stop mode). On the other hand, if the stop buttons 16 to 18 are not operated in the first special operation mode when the RT3 transition lip is won, the reels are stopped in the first special stop mode in which the dollar symbols are aligned in a straight line downward to the right. Each reel 34 to 36 is controlled so as not to cause the reel.

In this way, when the stop button is operated in the first special operation mode when the RT3 transition lip is won, the reel is stopped in the characteristic first special stop mode in which the dollar symbols are aligned in a straight line downward to the right. , The player can recognize the winning of the RT3 transition lip and the transition to the normal RT3 by the first special stop mode of the reel. On the other hand, if the stop button is not operated in the first special operation mode when the RT3 transition lip is won, the player controls the reel not to stop in the first special stop mode, so that the player depends on the reel stop mode. It becomes difficult to recognize the winning of the RT3 transition lip and the transition to normal RT3.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the RT3 transition lip is subject to the internal lottery in all of the normal RT1, the normal RT2, and the normal RT3, and the REP6 independently associated with the RT3 transition lip is described. Regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L is associated. Therefore, by winning the RT3 transition lip in the normal RT1 and the normal RT2, the game state can be surely shifted to the normal RT3. That is, it can be said that the normal RT3 is a gaming state that can be shifted from any of the normal RT1 and the normal RT2 gaming states (C and E in FIG. 9). As will be described later, the normal RT3 is a gaming state in which the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-game combination that triggers the transition to the ART mode is set to the highest probability in the normal state. ..

REP7 to 16 (specific roles) have a function of shifting to the ART mode, and are associated with the winning areas "Rare Lip 1" to "Rare Lip 7" (hereinafter referred to as "Rare Lip") (FIG. 6). ..

Realip is subject to internal lottery in all normal states of non-RT in normal state (hereinafter referred to as normal non-RT), normal RT1, normal RT2 and normal RT3 (Fig. 6), and the probability of winning a rare lip. Is set to about 1/120 for normal non-RT, normal RT1 and normal RT2, and about 1/10 for normal RT3 (FIG. 9). That is, the winning probability of the rare lip in the normal RT3 is set to the highest probability in the normal state.

In this embodiment, the CZ1 lottery is performed based on the winning of the rare lip in the normal mode, and the mode is shifted to the CZ1 mode based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery. The winning probability of the CZ1 lottery is the type of rare lip (winning). Regardless of the area "Rare Lip 1" to "Rare Lip 7"), the same winning probability (for example, 15%) is set.

In this embodiment, the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery may be configured to be different depending on the type of rare lip. For example, the CZ1 lottery is executed with a winning probability of 5% based on the winning of the winning area "Rare Lip 1", and the CZ1 lottery is executed with a winning probability of 10% based on the winning of the winning areas "Rare Lip 2" to "Rare Lip 4". Execute, and execute the CZ1 lottery with a winning probability of 25% based on the winning of the winning areas "Rare Lip 5" to "Rare Lip 7".

In the present embodiment, when the production mode is staying in the ART mode, the stop button does not shift the game state to the normal RT1 in which the winning probability of the re-game combination is set to about 1 / 7.3. The batting order effect related to the operation of is executed by the sub monitor 6 or the like. For example, in the case of staying in the normal RT1 in the ART mode, if the REP4 associated RT1 lip having the function of shifting to the normal RT2 is won, the batting order effect for shifting the game state to the normal RT2 is displayed on the sub monitor 6. By operating the stop button according to this batting order effect, the game state is shifted to the normal RT2. Further, in the case of staying in the normal RT2 in the ART mode, if the REP5 associated RT2 lip having the function of shifting to the normal RT1 is won, the batting order effect for maintaining the game state in the normal RT2 is displayed on the sub monitor 6. By operating the stop button according to this batting order effect, the game state is normally maintained at RT2. Therefore, in general, in the ART mode, the gaming state usually stays in RT2. On the other hand, when the effect mode stays in the non-ART mode, the batting order effect related to the transition of the game state is controlled so as not to be executed by the sub monitor 6 or the like. Therefore, in general, the game state is usually in the non-ART mode. It is easier to stay at RT1.

The small roles NML1 to 17 function as a role of paying out medals by winning a prize, and correspond to the winning areas "batting order bell 1" to "pushing bell" (hereinafter referred to as bells) as shown in FIG. It is attached.

Bells are subject to internal lottery in all normal states (Fig. 7), and the winning probabilities of the winning areas "Batting Order Bell 1" to "Batting Order Bell 10" (hereinafter referred to as "Batting Order Bells") in the normal state are About 1/7, the winning probabilities of the winning areas "haz level", "rare bell" and "pushing bell" are set to about 1/250, respectively.

In the present embodiment, based on the winning of the winning area "rare bell" (hereinafter referred to as "rare bell"), the CZ1 lottery for whether or not to shift the production mode from the normal mode to the CZ1 mode is executed. There is. That is, the NML 16 associated with the rare bell has a function of shifting to the ART mode, similarly to the REPs 7 to 16.

As mentioned above, the winning probability of rare lip is set to about 1/120 for normal non-RT, normal RT1 and normal RT2, and about 1/10 for normal RT3, and the winning probability of rare bell is all in the normal state. Is set to the same about 1/250. Therefore, the winning probability of the rare lip and the rare bell (hereinafter referred to as a special area) that triggers the execution of the CZ1 lottery is usually the highest in RT3 in the normal state. Therefore, it can be said that the normal RT3 is the most easily shifted to the ART mode in the normal state.

In this embodiment, the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery may be set to a higher probability for the rare bell than for the rare lip, or vice versa. Further, for example, the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery is set to be higher in the rare bell than in the winning area "Rare Lip 1", and in the winning areas "Rare Lip 5" to "Rare Lip 7" than in the rare bell. It may be configured as such.

As shown in FIG. 5, the NML 16 is associated with a combination of "replay symbol or bell symbol"-"crown symbol, dollar symbol or shield symbol"-"replay symbol". When the associated rare bell of NML16 is won in the internal lottery, the replay symbol of symbol number 3 above the crown symbol arranged in the left symbol row 34a shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the effective line L (hereinafter, , The second special operation mode), and it is assumed that the left stop button 16 is operated and the middle and right stop buttons 17 and 18 are operated at arbitrary timings. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, a mode in which the crown symbol, which is a characteristic and impressive symbol at the middle position corresponding to the left reel 34 of the display window 50, stops (hereinafter, referred to as a second special stop mode). Stop the reel with. On the other hand, if the left stop button 16 is not operated in the second special operation mode when the rare bell is won, the reel is controlled so that the reel is not stopped in the second special stop mode in which the crown symbol stops at the middle position.

In this way, when the left stop button 16 is operated in the second special operation mode when the rare bell is won, the reel is stopped in the characteristic second special stop mode in which the crown symbol stops at the middle position. The person can recognize the winning of the rare bell and the execution of the CZ1 lottery by the second special stop mode of the reel. On the other hand, if the left stop button 16 is not operated in the second special operation mode when the rare bell is won, the player controls the reel not to stop in the second special stop mode, so that the player depends on the reel stop mode. It becomes difficult to recognize the winning of the rare bell and the execution of the CZ1 lottery.

The batting order bell is associated with both a small winning combination (NML1 and NML2) with 9 medals paid out and a small winning combination (for example, NML6) with a specified number of 3 medals (FIG. 5). , Fig. 7). In the present embodiment, when the player is staying in the ART mode in the normal state, the batting order effect related to the batting order that assists the winning of a small winning combination that can pay out nine medals at the time of winning the bell is executed on the sub monitor 6 or the like. On the other hand, when the effect mode is staying in the non-ART mode, the sub monitor 6 or the like is controlled so as not to execute the batting order effect. In this way, the medal can be easily obtained by operating the stop button according to the batting order effect in the ART mode.

For example, in the case of staying in the ART mode at RT3, if the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" is won, the batting order production related to the batting order 1 and 2 that assists the winning of NML1 with 9 medals paid out is performed. Execute. When the stop button is operated according to this batting order effect, NML1 is won and nine medals are paid out. On the other hand, if the stop button is operated in batting order 3 to 6 when the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" is won, NML5 or NML7 is won with a probability of 1/2 depending on the operation timing of the stop button. One medal is paid out, and there is a 1/2 chance that any of the small wins of NML1, 5 and 7 will not be won. At this time, if any of the small wins is not won, one of the symbol combinations (hereinafter referred to as SPF symbol combinations) corresponding to SPF1 or SPF2 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the effective line L. The reel is stopped, and based on this, the gaming state is shifted (falls) from the normal RT3 to the normal RT1 (F in FIG. 9).

As described above, in the present embodiment, the game state is shifted from the normal RT3 to the normal RT1 based on the fact that the batting order bell is won in the normal RT3 and the small winning combination is not won (F in FIG. 9). As described above, when the RT3 rip is won at the normal RT3 and the symbol combination corresponding to the REP4 is displayed on the effective line L, the game state is shifted from the normal RT3 to the normal RT2 (D in FIG. 9). In addition, the game state is changed from the normal RT1 to the normal RT3 based on the fact that the normal RT1 wins the RT3 transition lip (E in FIG. 9), and the game state is changed based on the fact that the normal RT2 wins the RT3 transition lip. Transition from RT2 to normal RT3 (C in FIG. 9). That is, the normal RT1 with a low probability of winning a special area, the normal RT2 with a low probability of winning a special area, and the normal RT3 with a high probability of winning a special area are in a gaming state in which they can be transferred to each other. be. In other words, the normal RT3 is a gaming state in which the game can be transferred from any of the normal RT1 and the normal RT2, and can be returned to the original normal state before the normal RT3 transition.

Returning to FIG. 3, the main monitor control means 108 controls the main monitor 10 to display information related to the batting order of the stop button corresponding to the batting order effect when the batting order effect is executed on the sub monitor 6 or the like.

Next, an outline of the effect mode controlled by the effect mode control means 120 will be described with reference to FIG.

The normal mode in the general state is a production mode in which the right to shift to the ART mode is not provided. Therefore, in order to shift the production mode from the non-ART mode to the ART mode, it is first necessary to shift to the CZ1 latent mode or the CZ1 mode (first production state) that can grant the right to shift to the ART mode. .. In the normal mode, whether or not to shift to the CZ1 mode is determined by the CZ1 lottery based on the winning of the special area (rare lip, rare bell), and the production mode is shifted from the normal mode to the CZ1 latent mode based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery ( A) in FIG.

The CZ1 latent mode is an effect mode that is a prerequisite for the transition to the CZ1 mode, and an effect that suggests the transition to the CZ1 mode is executed on the sub monitor 6 or the like. When a predetermined game is executed, for example, 5 times (hereinafter referred to as CZ1 latent number) in the CZ1 latent mode, the effect mode is shifted from the CZ1 latent mode to the CZ1 mode (B in FIG. 10).

In the present embodiment, there is an opportunity to acquire the right to shift to the ART mode in both the CZ1 latent mode and the CZ1 mode. Specifically, as a privilege related to the game, the right to shift to the ART mode (hereinafter, appropriately abbreviated as "ART") and the right to shift to the CZ2 mode (hereinafter, appropriately abbreviated as "CZ2"). ), The production point regarding the transition of the production mode is provided, and the first privilege processing regarding the granting of the privilege is executed in the last game (fifth game) in the CZ1 latent mode, and the next game, that is, the CZ1 mode In the first game (first game) in the above, the second privilege processing related to the grant of the privilege is executed. The benefits (ART, CZ2, production points) given in each privilege process are stored in the game information storage area 140 built in the main RAM of the main control processing unit 100, and are granted as benefits. The effect points are cumulatively added and stored in the game information storage area 140.

In the present embodiment, when the cumulative value of the effect points stored in the game information storage area 140 reaches a predetermined value (for example, 10000), only the predetermined value of the effect points stored in the game information storage area 140 is extracted (for example, 10000). Subtract), and based on this extraction, ART is stored in the game information storage area 140. That is, when the cumulative value of the production points reaches a predetermined value, the right to shift to the ART mode is granted as a privilege.

Here, as the effect points, a normal point for adding "200" to the game information storage area 140 (hereinafter referred to as a normal PT) and a special point for adding "1000" to the game information storage area 140 (hereinafter, referred to as a normal PT). Special PT) is provided. Then, in the present embodiment, the sub-monitor 6 is configured to notify the effect points given in the privilege processing, but the notification timings are different between the normal PT and the special PT.

The notification of the addition of the normal PT is performed in the normal mode by immediately shifting the effect mode to the normal mode after the end of the CZ1 mode (D in FIG. 10). On the other hand, the notification of the addition of the special PT shifts the effect mode to the precursor mode after the end of the CZ1 mode (C in FIG. 10), and sets the effect mode at the end of the precursor mode or after the end of the precursor mode. It shifts to the normal mode and is performed in the normal mode (H in FIG. 10). That is, when the special PT is given in the privilege processing, the effect mode is shifted from the CZ1 mode to the precursor mode, but when the normal PT is granted, the effect mode is shifted to the normal mode without shifting to the precursor mode. Will let you. In other words, it can be said that the normal PT is a privilege without a precursor, and the special PT is a privilege with a precursor. When a special PT is given as a privilege, "1000" is added to the game information storage area 140 as an effect point, and the right to shift to the precursor mode (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "special PT precursor". ) Is memorized.

In the final game (second game) in the CZ1 mode, a spinning card effect (rotating card effect A) using the reel operation mode based on the benefits given in both the first privilege processing and the second privilege processing. In addition to executing ~ C), the sub monitor 6 executes a card effect using a plurality of types of images imitating cards used in playing cards and the like. These effects are configured to suggest the type of privilege given in the privilege processing.

When a predetermined two games (hereinafter referred to as CZ1 times) are executed in the CZ1 mode, the CZ1 mode is terminated. Then, when any of the benefits of ART, CZ2, and special PT precursor is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ1 mode, the effect mode is changed from the CZ1 mode (first effect state) to the precursor mode (special). (C in FIG. 10), and if any of the benefits of ART, CZ2, and special PT precursor is not stored, the mode is shifted to normal mode (D in FIG. 10).

In the present embodiment, as the precursor mode, the ART precursor mode premised on the transition to the ART mode, the CZ2 precursor mode premised on the transition to the CZ2 mode, and the special PT precursor mode premised on the transition to the normal mode are used. It is provided. In each precursor mode, an effect in which it is difficult to identify the type of the precursor mode is executed, and a CZ1 lottery is executed for each game in the precursor mode. When the CZ1 lottery is won in the precursor mode, the effect mode is shifted from the precursor mode to the CZ1 mode (E in FIG. 10).

When the predetermined 10 times (hereinafter referred to as the precursor number) of the game are executed (the end condition is satisfied) without winning the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode (special effect state), the precursor mode is terminated and the game information is played. Based on the type of privilege stored in the storage area 140, the effect mode is shifted from the precursor mode to the ART mode (second effect state), CZ2 mode (second effect state), or normal mode (second effect state). (G, F, H in FIG. 10).

Here, different identification values (also referred to as variables) are associated with each effect mode, and the transition of the effect mode is controlled based on these identification values. The identification value is updated and stored in the game information storage area 140, and the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is identified according to the effect mode of the shift destination based on the determination of the transition of the effect mode. It is configured to update to a value and shift to the corresponding effect mode according to the update of this identification value.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the identification value is "0" in the normal mode, "1" in the CZ1 latent mode, "2" in the CZ1 mode, "3" in the precursor mode, and "4" in the CZ2 mode. , And the ART mode is associated with the identification value of "5", respectively. For example, when the CZ1 lottery is won in the normal mode, the transition to the CZ1 latent mode is determined, the identification value is updated to "1" corresponding to the CZ1 latent mode, and the information of the identification value "1" is included. The effect command is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. As a result, when the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the effect command including the information of the identification value "1", the effect mode is switched from the normal mode to the CZ1 latent mode.

In the present embodiment, although three types of precursor modes, ART precursor mode, CZ2 precursor mode, and special PT precursor mode, are provided as precursor modes, the same identification value "3" is set in the precursor modes. It is associated. Further, in the present embodiment, the privilege processing is performed twice in the game section (hereinafter referred to as the specific game section) composed of two games, the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode. Is configured to run. Therefore, the game information storage area 140 may store two or more types of benefits of ART, CZ2, and special PT precursors (hereinafter, referred to as precursors) that accompany the transition to the precursor mode. Therefore, when a plurality of different precursory benefits are stored in the game information storage area 140, the ART precursor mode, the CZ2 precursor mode, and the special PT precursor mode are used only with the information of the identification value "3" after the end of the CZ1 mode. It is not possible to determine which of the modes should be shifted to the precursor mode. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of different precursory benefits are stored in the game information storage area 140, the transition to the CZ2 precursory mode is prioritized over the special PT precursory mode, and the transition to the CZ2 precursory mode is prioritized over the CZ2 precursory mode. The priority order is set in advance so as to prioritize the transition to the ART precursor mode. As a result, even if the same identification value "3" is associated with all the precursor modes, it is possible to determine which type of precursor mode should be shifted after the end of the CZ1 mode.

Specifically, when ART is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ1 mode, the effect mode is shifted to the ART precursor mode and then to the ART mode (C, G in FIG. 10). , When CZ2 is memorized and ART is not memorized, the mode is shifted to CZ2 precursor mode and then to CZ2 mode (C, F in FIG. 10), the special PT precursor is memorized, and ART and CZ2 are memorized. If not, the mode is shifted to the special PT precursor mode and then to the normal mode (C and H in FIG. 10). On the other hand, when none of the benefits of ART, CZ2 and the special PT precursor is stored in the game information storage area 140, the effect mode is immediately shifted to the normal mode after the end of the CZ1 mode (H in FIG. 10).

The CZ2 mode is an effect mode that provides a chance to shift to the ART mode, and in the first game in the CZ2 mode, whether or not to grant the right to shift to the ART mode is determined by an ART lottery. At this time, if the ART lottery is won, the effect mode is shifted to the ART mode after executing a predetermined game, for example, 10 times (hereinafter referred to as CZ2 times) in the CZ2 mode (J in FIG. 10). ).

In the present embodiment, since a plurality of benefits may be stored in the game information storage area 140, even if the ART lottery is not won in the CZ2 mode, the game information storage area 140 is stored at the end of the CZ2 mode. Precursor benefits such as CZ2 may be stored. Therefore, if the ART lottery is not won, it is determined whether or not the precursory privilege of either CZ2 or special PT is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ2 mode. When the precursory privilege is stored, the effect mode is shifted to the precursory mode again after the end of the CZ2 mode (K in FIG. 10). As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the ART lottery can be changed with a high probability every time the transition to the CZ2 mode is repeated.

In the example of the present embodiment, the number of CZ1 latent times and the number of precursors may be determined by lottery, or when the effect mode is changed from the CZ1 latent mode to the CZ1 mode, the player shifts to the CZ1 mode. The sub-monitor 6 or the like may be used to execute the effect of notifying the user. Further, the number of precursors may be determined according to the type of precursor mode. In this way, the type of precursor mode can be determined based on the number of precursors.

Next, the effect mode control means 120 for controlling the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and the like.

The effect mode control means 120 includes an effect mode transition determination unit 121 that determines the transition of the effect mode, an identification value update means 122 that updates the identification value based on the determination of the transition of the effect mode, information on the identification value, and a batting order of the stop button. It is provided with an effect command transmitting means 123 for transmitting an effect command including information about the effect, a privilege command including information about the privilege, and the like to the sub-control processing unit 200, and a privilege processing means 130 for controlling the processing of the privilege related to the game.

The effect mode transition determination means 121 determines the effect mode transition based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. The determination of the transition to the production mode will be described in detail later using the flow shown in FIGS. 13 to 18, but for example, the transition to the CZ1 latent mode is determined based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the normal mode and the precursor mode. ..

The identification value updating means 122 updates the identification value to "0" based on the decision to shift to the normal mode, updates the identification value to "1" based on the decision to shift to the CZ1 latent mode, and updates the identification value to "1". The identification value is updated to "2" based on the decision to move to CZ2 mode, the identification value is updated to "3" based on the decision to move to precursor mode, and the identification value is based on the decision to move to CZ2 mode. Is updated to "4", and the identification value is updated to "5" based on the decision to shift to the ART mode.

The effect command transmitting means 123 transmits a privilege command including the identification value information stored in the game information storage area 140 to the sub-control processing unit 200 at the end of one game, and is the last in the CZ1 latent mode. Sub-control in CZ1 mode a privilege command including information on a privilege (a privilege stored in the game information storage area 140) given in a specific game section composed of two games, a game and the first game in CZ1 mode. It is transmitted to the processing unit 200.

The privilege processing means 130 includes a CZ1 lottery means (determining means) 131 for executing the CZ1 lottery, a first privilege processing execution means 132 for executing the first privilege processing in the last game in the CZ1 latent mode, and the first in the CZ1 mode. The second privilege processing execution means 133 that executes the second privilege processing in the game, the privilege management means 134 that manages the privilege, the rotation cylinder production determination means 135 that determines the type of the rotation cylinder production, and the winning of the ART lottery. It includes an ART winning probability determining means 136 for determining a probability (hereinafter referred to as an ART winning probability), an ART lottery means 137 for executing an ART lottery, and an ART management means 138 for managing an ART game.

The CZ1 lottery means 131 executes the CZ1 lottery based on the winning of the special area (rare lip, rare bell) in the normal mode. In this embodiment, the CZ1 lottery may be performed based not only on the winning of the special area but also on the winning of other winning areas. In this case, it is preferable to execute the CZ1 lottery so that the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery is higher when the special area is won than when the other winning areas are won.

Further, the CZ1 lottery means 131 executes the CZ1 lottery every time a game is played in the precursor mode (special effect state). In this embodiment, the CZ1 lottery may be performed based on the winning of the special area in the precursor mode, as in the CZ1 lottery performed in the normal mode. In this case, so that the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery differs between the precursor mode and the normal mode, for example, the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode is set to 100%, and the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery in the normal mode is set to 10%. The configuration to be set, that is, the configuration in which the CZ1 lottery is executed so that the winning probability of the CZ1 lottery is higher in the precursor mode than in the normal mode may be configured, or vice versa.

The first privilege processing execution means 132 determines the number of executions of the privilege content lottery for determining one privilege from a plurality of types of privileges based on the operation of the start lever 15 in the last game of the CZ1 latent mode. The privilege content lottery is executed for the number of executions determined in.

The execution number determination lottery is a loop lottery in which a lottery for determining a win or a loss is repeated until a loss occurs, and the first privilege processing execution means 132 executes the privilege content lottery based on the number of times the lottery is won in the execution number determination lottery. Determine the number of times.

The privilege content lottery is a lottery without losing that one of ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT is always determined, and the first privilege processing execution means 132 is the execution determined by the execution number determination lottery. Execute the privilege content lottery for the number of times. The privilege processing will be described in detail using the flow of FIG.

The second privilege processing execution means 133 executes the second privilege processing based on the operation of the start lever 15 in the first game in the CZ1 mode. Since the second privilege processing is the same as the first privilege processing, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The privilege management means 134 stores the privilege determined in both the first privilege processing and the second privilege processing in the game information storage area 140. Further, the privilege management means 134 extracts (subtracts) the precursory privilege that triggered the transition to the precursory mode from the game information storage area 140 at the end of the precursory mode. For example, one ART is extracted from the game information storage area 140 at the end of the ART precursor mode. When ART is extracted from the game information storage area 140 at the end of the precursor mode, the effect mode shifts from the precursor mode to the ART mode. The process of extracting the precursory privilege from the game information storage area 140 at the end of the precursory mode will be described in detail using the flow of FIG.

The rotating body effect determining means 135 is a privilege determined by both the first privilege processing performed in the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the second privilege processing performed in the first game in the CZ1 mode. Based on the type, that is, based on the type of the privilege given in the privilege game section, one rotation effect to be executed at the start of the second game in the CZ1 mode is determined from the rotation effects A to C.

Although not shown, when ART is included in the benefits determined in the first and second privilege processing, the rotation body effect A is 10%, the rotation body effect B is 30%, and the rotation body effect C is Is determined with a probability of 60%, and when CZ2 is included and ART is not included, the probability of rotating body A is 40%, that of rotating body B is 30%, and that of rotating body C is 30%. If the special PT is included and ART and CZ2 are not included, the rotation body effect A is determined with a probability of 60%, the rotation body effect B is determined with a probability of 30%, and the rotation body effect C is determined with a probability of 10%. When only PT is usually included, the rotating body effect A is determined with a probability of 100%, the rotating body effect B is determined with a probability of 0%, and the rotating body effect C is determined with a probability of 0%. For this reason, the execution of the rotation effect A suggests that the privilege is unlikely to be determined to ART and the possibility that the privilege is determined to be normal PT is high, and the execution of the rotation effect C indicates that the privilege is determined to ART. It can be suggested that it is likely to have been done. The rotating cylinder effect controlling means 115 controls to execute the rotating cylinder effect determined by the rotating cylinder effect determining means 135 at the start of the second game in the CZ1 mode.

The ART winning probability determining means 136 determines the ART winning probability from 30%, 50%, and 70% at the start of the first game in the CZ2 mode, and stores the determined ART winning probability in the game information storage area 140.

The ART lottery means 137 executes the ART lottery based on the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 at the start of the first game in the CZ2 mode.

In the present embodiment, the ART winning probability is set to 30% in the initial state, and the ART winning probability determining means 136 is stored in the game information storage area 140 for each transition to the CZ2 mode. Is configured to update. At this time, the ART winning probability determining means 136 sets the ART winning probability by 30% or 50 at the start of the first game in the CZ2 mode so that the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 is not updated to a low probability. It is configured to determine from% and 70%. That is, the ART winning probability is determined so that the winning probability of the ART lottery performed in the current CZ2 mode is not lower than the winning probability of the ART lottery performed in the previous CZ2 mode. However, the ART winning probability determining means 136 is configured to initialize the winning probability of the ART lottery stored in the game information storage area 140 to 30% when the ART lottery is won in the CZ2 mode. There is. Therefore, when the mode shifts to the CZ2 mode for the first time after winning the ART lottery, the ART winning probability is determined from 30%, 50%, and 70%.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the ART lottery is won in the CZ2 mode, the winning probability of the ART lottery stored in the game information storage area 140 is initialized, but it is performed in the specific game section 2 Even if ART is given in the privilege processing of the times, the winning probability of the ART lottery is not initialized. Therefore, even if ART is stored in the game information storage area 140, the winning probability of the ART lottery may be set to a high probability of 70%. In this case, the ART lottery is won in the CZ2 mode. Then, it becomes a chance to further store ART in the game information storage area 140.

In this embodiment, when ART is stored in the game information storage area 140 in the specific game section, the winning probability of the ART lottery may be initialized. Further, the mode of the effect in the CZ2 mode may be changed based on the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140. For example, the effects A to C are provided as the mode of the effect in the CZ2 mode, and when the ART winning probability in the CZ2 mode is determined to be 30%, the effect A is executed in the CZ2 mode, and when it is determined to be 50%, the effect A is executed. The effect B is executed in the CZ2 mode, and when it is determined to be 70%, the effect C is executed in the CZ2 mode. In this way, it becomes possible to suggest the possibility of winning the ART lottery by the production in the CZ2 mode.

The ART management means 138 stores a predetermined number of ART games in the game information storage area 140 at the time of transition to the ART mode, and each time a game is played in the ART mode, the ART game stored in the game information storage area 140. The number of times is subtracted by "1". The effect mode transition determining means 121 determines the transition to the non-ART mode based on the number of ART games stored in the game information storage area 140 becoming "0".

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the specific game section composed of two games, the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode, the privilege process for determining the privilege is divided into two times. In each of these privilege processes, the privilege content lottery is executed for the number of executions determined in the execution number determination lottery, and in this privilege content lottery, be sure to select from ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT. It is configured to determine one benefit. Therefore, a plurality of benefits may be given in the specific game section to be transferred based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery, and in this embodiment, the number and types of the benefits given in the specific game section are shown in FIG. A plurality of types of cards (cards A to F) are configured to be displayed on the sub monitor 6.

Next, the effect determining means 202 for determining the type and number of cards (effect mode, display mode) based on the privilege determined in the specific game section will be described.

The effect determining means 202 determines the type and number of cards for each privilege given in the specific game section. Specifically, based on the reception of the privilege command including the privilege information given in the specific game section by the sub-control processing unit 200, 1 or 1 or 1 for one privilege information included in this privilege command. A series of processes for determining two or more cards from the cards A to F (hereinafter referred to as a card determination process) is executed for all the privilege information included in the privilege command. For example, when two CZ2s are stored in the game information storage area 140 in the specific game section and the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the privilege command including the information of the two CZ2s, the privilege command is used to select the CZ2. After extracting one piece of information and determining the type and number of cards, one piece of CZ2 information is extracted again from the privilege command to determine the type and number of cards.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the type and number of cards displayed on the sub monitor 6 are determined based on the number and types of benefits determined in the specific game section, and FIG. 11 shows. As shown, one card A is associated with one ART, one card B is associated with one CZ2, one card D is associated with one special PT, and one card F is associated with one normal PT. ing. Therefore, one card A displayed on the sub monitor 6 notifies the player that the ART having the highest game profit among the plurality of types of benefits has been granted in the specific game section. Similarly, one card B notifies the grant of CZ2, which has the second highest game profit after ART, and one card D notifies the grant of the special PT, which has the second highest game profit after CZ2, and one card. F notifies the grant of the normal PT having the lowest game profit. However, in the present embodiment, when one ART is given in the specific game section, a plurality (plural) cards other than the card A are displayed on the sub monitor 6, or one CZ2 is given in the specific game section. In some cases, a plurality of cards other than the cards A and B may be displayed on the sub monitor 6. The card determination process for determining the type and number of cards based on the privilege to be given will be described in detail later using the flow shown in FIG.

Next, the processing procedure of the game related to the slot machine S of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 12 to 23.

(Steps S1 to S5)
As shown in FIG. 12, when a specified number of medals are inserted into the slot machine S (S1), the start lever 15 is activated (S2), and then when the start lever 15 is operated (S3), the inside A lottery is held (S4). Then, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery is set to ON (S5).

In the present embodiment, in step S5, an effect command including information on the winning flag set to ON is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200, and when the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the effect command, the effect mode is set. Various effects (for example, batting order effects) corresponding to the winning combinations determined by the internal lottery according to the type are executed on the sub monitor 6 or the like.

(Step S100)
Next, the first effect mode control process is executed according to the type of effect mode, and when the execution of this process is completed, the process is moved to step S6. The first effect mode control process will be described later.

(Steps S6 to S8)
Next, the rotation of each reel 34 to 36 is started all at once (S6) on condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start time of rotation of each reel 34 to 36 in the previous game, and all the reels are started. Enables all stop button operations after reaching steady rotation (S7). Then, the corresponding reel is stopped based on the operation of each of the activated stop buttons 16 to 18 (S8).

(Step S200)
Next, the second effect mode control process is executed according to the type of effect mode, and when the execution of this process is completed, the process is moved to step S9. The second effect mode control process will be described later.

(Steps S9 to S13)
Next, a game result determination process is performed to determine whether or not the symbol combination related to the winning combination associated with the winning area determined in the internal lottery in step S4 is displayed on the valid line L (S9), and this game result determination is performed. Depending on the process, the medal payout process (S10) by winning a small winning combination, the replay setting process (S11) by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination on the valid line L, and the gaming state within the normal state. The winning flag is turned ON according to the result of the game state transition process (S12) due to the fact that the symbol combination related to the re-game combination or the CB combination that functions as the transfer combination is displayed on the effective line L, and the game result determination process. The winning flag control process (S13) for controlling OFF is performed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, an internal lottery for determining the winning or losing of a plurality of types of winning areas is performed based on the game start operation of the start lever 15 when a predetermined number of medals are inserted, and the reels 34 to 36 are selected. The rotation is started, and the rotation of each reel 34 to 36 is stopped based on the operation of the activated stop buttons 16 to 18 and the result of the internal lottery, and one game is performed. Then, during this one game, a plurality of types of commands represented by the effect command and the privilege command are transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 at a predetermined timing, and the effect mode is based on the plurality of types of commands. The transition means 201 shifts the effect mode, the effect determination unit 202 determines the mode of the effect, and the effect execution means 203 executes various effects such as batting order effect and card effect by cards in each effect device. There is.

Next, the first effect mode control process (S100) will be described below with reference to FIGS. 13 to 19. First, the first effect mode control process performed when the effect mode is staying in the CZ1 latent mode will be described with reference to FIG. The CZ1 latent mode is an effect mode corresponding to the identification value "1", and is composed of five games (the number of CZ1 latent times is five).

(Step S101)
First, in the CZ1 latency mode, "1" is subtracted from the number of CZ1 latency stored in the game information storage area 140 (S101), and the process is transferred to step S102.

(Steps S102 to S104, S120)
Next, it is determined whether or not the number of CZ1 latency is "0" (S102), and if the number of CZ1 latency is not "0" (No in S102), the first effect mode control process is terminated and the CZ1 latency is terminated. When the number of times is "0" (Yes in S102), the transition to the CZ1 mode is determined (S103), and the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "2" (S104). The first privilege process is executed (S120). That is, the first privilege processing is executed in the last game in the CZ1 latent mode. The privilege processing will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S121-S123)
First, a lottery for determining the number of executions (loop lottery), which is repeated until a loss occurs (S121), is performed, and it is determined whether or not the lottery has been won (S122). When the lottery for determining the number of executions is won (Yes in S122), the number of times the lottery for determining the number of executions is won "1" is added to the game information storage area 140 (S123), and the process returns to the front of step S121 and is executed again. A decision lottery is held (S121).

In the present embodiment, the lottery for determining the number of executions is configured to be performed by the operation of the start lever 15, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the third (last) operation of all the stop buttons 16 to 18 is performed. It may be configured to be performed when the stop button of is pressed and the pressing is released.

(Step S124)
If No in step S122, that is, if the lottery for determining the number of executions is not won, the process is transferred to this step S124, and the number of times the lottery for determining the number of executions stored in the game information storage area 140 is won is "0". Judge whether or not. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the execution number determination lottery is set in advance so that the execution number determination lottery is won about four times on average in one privilege determination process.

(Steps S125 and S126)
Next, in the case of No in step S124, that is, when the number of winnings of the execution number determination lottery stored in the game information storage area 140 is "1" or more, the execution stored in the game information storage area 140 "1" is subtracted from the number of winnings of the number-of-times determination lottery (S125), and the privilege content lottery is executed once based on the subtraction of 1 (S126). Privilege contents In the lottery, one privilege is always decided from ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT.

(Step S127)
Next, the privilege determined by the privilege content lottery in step S126 is stored in the game information storage area 140, and the process is transferred to step S128.

(Step S128)
Next, it is determined whether or not the cumulative value of the effect points stored in the game information storage area 140 has reached "100,000". When the cumulative value of the production points has reached "100,000" (Yes in S128), the process is moved to step S129. On the other hand, when the cumulative value of the production points has not reached "100,000" (No in S128), the process is moved to step S124 again, and the number of times the execution number determination lottery stored in the game information storage area 140 is won. The process of steps S124 to S129 is repeatedly executed until becomes "0". That is, the privilege content lottery is executed as many times as the number of times won in the execution number determination lottery.

(Step S129)
Next, when the cumulative value of the effect points reaches "100,000", the effect points "100,000" are extracted (subtracted) from the game information storage area 140, and 1 in the game information storage area 140 based on this extraction. Two ARTs are stored (added) (S129). After that, the process is transferred to step S124 again, and the processes of steps S124 to S129 are repeatedly executed.

Next, the first effect mode control process performed when the effect mode stays in the CZ1 mode will be described with reference to FIG. The CZ1 mode is an effect mode corresponding to the identification value "2", and is composed of two games (CZ1 times are two times).

(Step S131)
First, in the CZ1 mode, "1" is subtracted from the number of CZ1s stored in the game information storage area 140, and the process is transferred to step S132.

(Steps S132, S120, S133)
Next, it is determined whether or not the CZ1 count is "1" (S132), and if the CZ1 count is "1" (Yes in S132), the second privilege process is executed (S120). That is, the second privilege process is executed in the first game in the CZ1 mode. Since the second privilege process is the same process as the first privilege process (process of FIG. 14), the description thereof will be omitted. When the second privilege processing is completed, the processing is moved to step S133, and the type of the rotating cylinder effect to be executed is determined from the rotating body effects A to C based on the types of the benefits determined in the first and second privilege processing. (S133).

(Steps S134 to S138)
Next, when No in step S132, that is, when the number of CZ1 times is not "1" (when it is the last game in the CZ1 mode), the process is transferred to step S134, and ART and CZ2 are stored in the game information storage area 140. , It is determined whether or not one or more of the special PT precursors are stored (S134). At this time, if one or more precursory benefits are stored (Yes in S134), the transition to the precursory mode is determined (S135), and the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is set to "3". (S136) and the process is moved to step S139. On the other hand, when the precursory privilege is not stored (No in S134), the transition to the normal mode is determined (S137), and the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "0". (S138) The process is transferred to step S139.

(Steps S139 to S140)
Next, the rotation cylinder effect determined in step S133 is executed, and a privilege command including information on the privilege determined (granted) in the first and second privilege processing is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. The card determination process performed when the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the privilege command will be described later using the flow of FIG. 22.

Next, the first effect mode control process performed when the effect mode stays in the precursor mode will be described with reference to FIG. The precursor mode is an effect mode corresponding to the identification value "3", and is composed of 10 games (the precursor mode is 10 times). That is, regardless of the types of ART precursor mode, CZ2 precursor mode, and special PT precursor mode, the number of games played in the precursor mode is set to the same number.

(Step S151)
First, in the precursor mode, "1" is subtracted from the precursor number stored in the game information storage area 140 (S151), and the process is transferred to step S152.

(Steps S152 to S155)
Next, the CZ1 lottery is executed (S152), and it is determined whether or not the CZ1 lottery has been won (S153). At this time, if the CZ1 lottery is won (Yes in S153), the transition to the CZ1 latent mode is determined (S154), and the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "1" (S). S155). Even if the effect mode shifts from the precursor mode to the CZ1 latent mode based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, the transition to the CZ1 latent mode is performed in a mode that is difficult for the player to discriminate.

(Steps S156 and S160)
Next, if No in step S153, that is, if the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode has not been won, the process is transferred to step S156, and the precursor count stored in the game information storage area 140 is "0". Determine if it exists. At this time, if the number of precursors is not "0" (No in S156), the first effect mode control process in the precursor mode is terminated, and if the number of precursors is "0" (Yes in S156), step S160 The process is transferred to and the precursor mode end process is executed. The precursor mode termination process will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Step S161)
First, it is determined whether or not one or more ARTs are stored (stocked) in the game information storage area 140, and if one or more ARTs are stored (Yes in S161), the process proceeds to step S162. In the example of the present embodiment, when a plurality of benefits including ART are stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ1 mode, the transition to the ART mode is given the highest priority and the ART is performed after the end of the CZ1 mode. It is configured to shift to the precursor mode (see S231 and 232 in FIG. 21). Therefore, Yes, that is, the fact that ART is stored in the game information storage area 140 in step S161 means that the player is currently staying in the ART precursor mode.

(Steps S162 to S164)
Next, the transition to the ART mode is determined (S162), the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "5" (S163), and one ART is extracted from the game information storage area 140. (1 subtraction of the ART stock) (S164), and the precursor mode termination process is completed.

(Step S165)
Next, in the case of No in step S161, that is, when ART is not stored in the game information storage area 140, it is determined whether or not one or more CZ2 is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S165). If 1 or more CZ2s are stored (Yes in S165), the process proceeds to step S166. In the example of the present embodiment, when CZ2 is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ1 mode but ART is not stored, the transition to the CZ2 mode is prioritized and the CZ1 mode is set. It is configured to shift to the CZ2 precursor mode after the end (see S231 and 233 in FIG. 21). Therefore, if yes in step S165, that is, CZ2 is stored in the game information storage area 140 but ART is not stored, it means that the player is currently staying in the CZ2 precursor mode.

(Steps S166 to S168)
Next, the transition to the CZ2 mode is determined (S166), the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "4" (S167), and one CZ2 is extracted from the game information storage area 140. (The stock of CZ2 is subtracted by 1) (S168), and the precursor mode end processing is completed.

(Steps S169 to S171)
Next, in the case of No in step S165, that is, when the special PT precursor is stored in the game information storage area 140 (neither ART nor CZ2 is stored), the transition to the normal mode is determined. (S169), the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "0" (S170), and one special PT precursor is extracted from the game information storage area 140 (the stock of the special PT precursor is subtracted by 1). ) (S171), and the precursor mode termination process is completed. In the example of the present embodiment, when the special PT precursor is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ1 mode but the ART and CZ2 are not stored, the effect mode is set after the end of the CZ1 mode. It is configured to shift to the special PT precursor mode (see S233 and 235 in FIG. 21). Therefore, if it is No in step S165, it means that it is currently staying in the special PT precursor mode.

In the present embodiment, as benefits, ART, CZ2, special PT (precursor privilege) accompanied by transition to precursor mode, and normal PT (hereinafter referred to as no precursor privilege) without transition to precursor mode are provided. It is provided, and when a precursory privilege is given as a privilege in a specific game section, the effect mode is shifted to the precursory mode, and at the end of the precursory mode, the game information storage area 140 becomes an opportunity to shift to the precursory mode. It is configured to subtract 1 from the premonition privilege (S164, S168, S171 in FIG. 17). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the CZ1 lottery is won during the precursor mode (Yes in S153 of the same figure), and the precursor mode is used before the predetermined number of games (precursor number) is executed. When the mode ends and the effect mode shifts to the CZ1 latent mode, the effect mode shifts to the CZ1 latent mode without subtracting the precursory privilege from the game information storage area 140. At this time, since at least the precursory privilege is stored in the game information storage area 140, the effect mode shifts to the precursory mode again via the CZ1 latent mode and the CZ1 mode based on the precursory privilege, and this precursory mode is selected. On condition that the CZ1 lottery is not won in the mode, the player stays in the precursor mode until a predetermined number of games (precursor times) are played. That is, in the present embodiment, when the precursor mode is interrupted based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, the precursor mode is reset and stays in the precursor mode again. Therefore, winning the CZ1 lottery in the precursory mode can prolong the period of stay in the precursory mode and increase the chances of executing the CZ1 lottery.

In addition, in this embodiment, based on the fact that the special PT precursor is stored in the game information storage area 140 in the specific game section (the special PT is given as a privilege), the special PT precursor is given after the end of the specific game section. When the mode is changed, one special PT precursor may be extracted (subtracted) from the game information storage area 140 at the start of the precursor mode, not at the end of the precursor mode. In this case, since one special PT precursor is subtracted from the game information storage area 140 at the time of transition to the special PT precursor mode, if the CZ1 lottery is won in the special PT precursor mode, the transition to this special PT precursor mode is triggered. The special PT precursor that has become has already been extracted from the game information storage area 140. Therefore, the transition to the special PT precursor mode is performed only once based on one special PT precursor stored in the game information storage area 140. In this way, the special PT precursor mode is not repeatedly set based on one special PT precursor stored in the game information storage area 140. As a result, it is possible to prevent the period of stay in the precursor mode from being prolonged.

Next, the first effect mode control process performed when the effect mode stays in the CZ2 mode will be described with reference to FIG. The CZ2 mode is an effect mode corresponding to the identification value "4", and is composed of 10 games (CZ2 times are 10 times).

(Step S181)
First, in the CZ2 mode, "1" is subtracted from the number of CZ2s stored in the game information storage area 140 (S181), and the process is transferred to step S182.

(Step S182)
Next, it is determined whether or not the number of CZ2s stored in the game information storage area 140 is "9" (S182), and if the number of CZ2s is not "9" (No in S182), step S187 is performed. Move the process. On the other hand, when the number of CZ2 times is "9", that is, in the case of the first game (first game) in the CZ2 mode (Yes in S182), the process is transferred to step S200 and the ART winning probability determination process is executed. The ART winning probability determination process will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S201-207)
In the ART winning probability determination process, when the winning probability (ART winning probability) of the ART lottery stored in the game information storage area 140 is 30% (Yes in S201), the ART winning probability is set to 30%, 50%, When the ART winning probability determined from 70% (S202) and stored in the game information storage area 140 is 50% (Yes in S203), the winning probability of the ART lottery is among 50% and 70%. When the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 is 70% (Yes in S205), the ART winning probability is determined to be 70% (S206). Then, the determined ART winning probability is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S207), and the ART winning probability determination process is completed. That is, the ART winning probability is determined so that the winning probability of the ART lottery performed in the current CZ2 mode is not lower than the winning probability of the ART lottery performed in the previous CZ2 mode.

(Steps S183 to S186)
Returning to FIG. 18, after the ART winning probability determination process (S200) is completed, the ART lottery is executed with the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 (S183), and whether or not the ART winning probability is won is determined. Judgment (S184). At this time, if the ART lottery is won (Yes in S184), one ART is added to the game information storage area 140 (S185), and the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 is reduced to 30%. Initialize (S186).

(Step S187)
Next, it is determined whether or not the number of CZ2s stored in the game information storage area 140 is "0" (S187), and if the number of CZ2s is not "0" (No in S187), the CZ2 mode is set. When the first effect mode control process is completed and the number of CZ2 times is "0" (Yes in S187), the process is moved to step S188.

(Steps S188 to S191)
Next, it is determined whether or not one or more ARTs are stored (stocked) in the game information storage area 140 (S188), and if one or more ARTs are stored (Yes in S188), the ART mode is entered. The transition is determined (S189), the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "5" (S190), and one ART stored in the game information storage area 140 is extracted (ART). The stock is subtracted by 1) (S191), and the first effect mode control process in the CZ2 mode is completed.

(Steps S192 to S194)
Next, in the case of No in step S188, that is, when ART is not stored in the game information storage area 140, one or more CZ2s are stored in the game information storage area 140, or the game information storage area is stored. It is determined whether 1 or more special PT precursors are stored in 140 (S192), and if 1 or more CZ2 or special PT precursors are stored (Yes in S192), the transition to the precursor mode is determined (Yes). S193), the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "3" (S194), and the first effect mode control process in the CZ2 mode is completed.

(Steps S195, S196)
Next, in the case of No in step S192, that is, when none of the precursory benefits of ART, CZ2, and special PT precursors is stored in the game information storage area 140, the transition to the normal mode is determined (S195). ), The identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "0" (S196), and the first effect mode control process in the CZ2 mode is completed.

Next, the second effect mode control process (S210) performed at the end of one game will be described below with reference to FIG. 20.

(Steps S211 to S222)
First, the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is confirmed (S211), and when the identification value "0" is stored (Yes in S212), an effect command including information on the normal mode is subordinated. Similarly, when the identification value "1" is stored in the control processing unit 200 (S213) (Yes in S214), an effect command including the information of the CZ1 latent mode is transmitted (S215) to identify. When the value "2" is stored (Yes in S216), an effect command including the information of the CZ1 mode is transmitted (S217), and when the identification value "4" is stored (Yes in S219). Sends an effect command including CZ2 mode information (S220), and when the identification value "5" is stored (Yes in S221), transmits an effect command including ART mode information (S222). .. Then, when the identification value "3" associated with all the precursor modes of the ART precursor mode, the CZ2 precursor mode, and the special PT precursor mode is stored in the game information storage area 140 (Yes in S218), the step The process is transferred to S230 to execute the precursor mode type determination process. This precursor mode type determination process will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S231 to S235)
In the precursor mode type determination process, when one or more ARTs are stored (stocked) in the game information storage area 140 (Yes in S231), an effect command including ART precursor mode information is transmitted (S232), and the game is played. When one or more CZ2s are stored in the information storage area 140 but ART is not stored (Yes in S233), an effect command including information on the CZ2 precursor mode is transmitted (S234), and the game information storage area 140 When one or more special PT precursors are stored in, but ART and CZ2 are not stored (No in S233), an effect command including information on the special PT precursor mode is transmitted (S235), and the precursor mode type is determined. End the process. That is, when the identification value is updated to "3" and the effect mode shifts from the CZ1 mode to the precursor mode, the transition of the CZ2 precursor mode is prioritized over the special PT precursor mode, and the ART precursor mode is prioritized over the CZ2 precursor mode. Priority is given to the migration of.

Next, a card determination process for determining the type and number of cards based on the privilege given in the specific game section composed of two games, the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode. (S240) will be described below with reference to FIG. The card determination process is performed based on the privilege command transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 in step S140 shown in FIG. 15 in the CZ1 mode.

(Steps S241 and S242)
First, it is determined whether or not the sub-control processing unit 200 has received the privilege command transmitted in the CZ1 mode (S241), and if the privilege command is received (Yes in S241), it is included in the privilege command. The information of the privilege is confirmed (S242), and the process is moved to step S243. On the other hand, if the privilege command has not been received (No in S241), the card determination process ends.

(Steps S243 to S245)
Next, it is determined whether or not the privilege command contains 1 or more ART information (S243), and if 1 or more ART information is included (Yes in S243), the ART information is 1 from the privilege command. One is extracted (S244), and based on this extraction, it is determined whether or not to make a plurality of cards (S245).

(Steps S246 and S247)
Next, it is determined whether or not the number of cards is determined to be a plurality of cards (S246), and when the number of cards is determined to be a plurality of cards (Yes in S246), the number of cards is, for example, 2 to 5 cards. The card type is determined for each determined number of cards as well as being determined within the range of (S247). At this time, the type of the card is determined from the cards B to D so as not to select the card A corresponding to ART.

(Step S248)
Next, in the case of No in step S246, that is, when the number of cards is not determined to be a plurality of cards, one card is determined to be the card A corresponding to ART in this step S248.

In steps S247 and 248, when the type and number of cards are determined based on the information of one ART included in the privilege command, the player returns to the front of step S243 again and all the ART information included in the privilege command is included. The processing of steps S243 to S248 is repeatedly executed until it is extracted, that is, until the ART information included in the privilege command becomes "0". Then, when the ART information included in the privilege command is "0" (No in S243), the process is transferred to step S249.

(Steps S249 to S251)
Next, it is determined whether or not the privilege command contains one or more CZ2 information (S249), and if the privilege command contains one or more CZ2 information (Yes in S249), the privilege command contains one CZ2 information. One is extracted (S250), and based on this extraction, it is determined whether or not to make a plurality of cards (S251).

(Steps S252 and S253)
Next, it is determined whether or not the number of cards is determined to be a plurality of cards (S252), and when the number of cards is determined to be a plurality of cards (Yes in S252), the number of cards is, for example, 2 to 5 cards. The card type is determined for each determined number of cards as well as being determined within the range of (S253). At this time, the type of the card is determined from the cards C to F so as not to select the card B corresponding to CZ2 and the card A corresponding to ART.

(Step S254)
Next, in the case of No in step S252, that is, when the number of cards is not determined to be a plurality of cards, one card is determined to be the card B corresponding to CZ2 in this step S254.

When the type and number of cards are determined based on the information of one CZ2 included in the privilege command in steps S253 and 254, the process returns to the front of step S249 again and all the information of CZ2 included in the privilege command is returned. The processing of steps S249 to S254 is repeatedly executed until it is extracted, that is, until the information of CZ2 included in the privilege command becomes "0". Then, when the information of CZ2 included in the privilege command is "0" (No in S249), the process is moved to step S255.

(Steps S255 to S257)
Next, it is determined whether or not the privilege command contains one or more special PT precursor information (S255), and if the privilege command contains one or more special PT precursor information (Yes in S255), the privilege command is special. One piece of PT sign information is extracted (S256), and based on this extraction, the number of cards is determined to be one, and the card type is determined to be card D corresponding to the special PT sign (S257). After that, the process returns to the front of step S255, and the processes of steps S255 to S257 are repeatedly executed until the information of the special PT precursor included in the privilege command becomes "0". Then, when the information of the special PT precursor included in the privilege command is "0" (No in S255), the process is moved to step S258.

(Steps S258 to S260)
Next, it is determined whether or not the privilege command contains one or more normal PT information (S258), and if the privilege command contains one or more normal PT information (Yes in S258), the privilege command is normally used. One piece of PT information is extracted (S259), and based on this extraction, the number of cards is determined to be one, and the card type is determined to be card F corresponding to normal PT (S260). After that, the process returns to the front of step S258, and the processes of steps S258 to S260 are repeatedly executed until the information of the normal PT included in the privilege command becomes "0". Then, when the normal PT information included in the privilege command is "0" (No in S258), the card determination process is terminated.

In this way, one card may be displayed on the sub monitor 6 for one privilege granted in the specific game section to notify or suggest the type of privilege, and the grant of ART is displayed on the card A. , CZ2 grant is displayed on card B, special PT grant is displayed on card D, and normal PT grant is displayed on card F.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the ART is given in the specific game section, a plurality of cards B to D different from the cards A corresponding to the ART are displayed on the sub monitor 6 as a privilege. When CZ2 is given in a specific game section, a plurality of cards C to F different from the card A corresponding to ART and the card B corresponding to CZ2 are given to this CZ2. Displaying on the sub monitor 6 may indicate the type of privilege. A specific example in which the card is displayed on the sub monitor 6 will be described later.

Next, a specific example of the transition of the gaming state in the non-ART mode will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the specific example shown in FIG. 23 shifts to the precursor mode based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the normal mode, and shifts to the ART mode as a privilege based on winning the CZ1 lottery again in this precursor mode. This is an example when the right (ART) is granted and the mode shifts to the ART mode. That is, normal mode → CZ1 latent mode (1st time) → CZ1 mode (1st time) → precursor mode (1st time) → CZ1 latent mode (2nd time) → CZ1 mode (2nd time) → precursor mode (2nd time) → ART This is an example when the production mode shifts in the order of the modes.

As shown in FIG. 23 (a), when the CZ1 lottery is won in the normal mode, the process shifts to the specific game section (the first specific game section shown in the figure) in which the privilege processing is performed twice. In this first specific game section, one special PT and four normal PTs were given as a privilege. As a result, the type of the rotating body effect is determined to be the rotating body effect A, and as shown in FIG. 23 (b), the rotating body effect A is performed at the start of the final game (second game) in the first CZ1 mode. It has been executed. Since the spinning effect A is an effect that suggests that the possibility of granting ART is low, the player who sees this predicts that a privilege having a low game profit may have been granted.

As shown in FIG. 23 (c), one card D and four cards F are displayed on the sub monitor 6 after the execution of the rotating cylinder effect A is completed. One card D is a card corresponding to a special PT, and one card F is a card corresponding to a normal PT, but when CZ2 is given, one card D and a plurality of cards F. May be displayed on the sub monitor 6 (see S253 in FIGS. 11 and 22). Therefore, the player who sees the card effect recognizes that the ART was not given in the first specific game section, but expects the shift to the CZ2 mode in which the ART lottery is performed.

Since one special PT is given in the first specific game section, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), the effect mode shifts to the special PT precursor mode after the end of the first CZ1 mode.

In the special PT precursor mode, the sub monitor 6 or the like performs an effect in which it is difficult to determine the type of the precursor mode. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to determine which type of precursor mode has been shifted to, but the player recognizes that ART was not granted due to the card effect performed in the first CZ1 mode. Therefore, it can be recognized that at least one of the benefits of CZ2 and special PT has been granted in the first specific game section.

As shown in FIG. 23 (a), the CZ1 lottery was won during the special PT precursor mode. As a result, the process shifts to the specific game section (the second specific game section shown in the figure) in which the privilege processing is performed twice again, and one ART and two normal PTs are given as the privilege. As a result, the type of the rotating body effect is determined to be the rotating body effect C, and as shown in FIG. 23 (d), the rotating body effect C is set at the start of the final game (second game) in the second CZ1 mode. It has been executed. Since the spinning effect C is an effect that suggests that there is a high possibility that ART is given, the player who sees this predicts that ART may have been given.

Based on one ART and two normal PTs given in the second specific game section, three cards B and two cards F are displayed on the sub monitor 6 as shown in FIG. 23 (e). rice field.

Here, the card A corresponding to ART is not displayed on the sub monitor 6, but when ART is given, a plurality of cards B may be displayed on the sub monitor 6 (see S247 in FIG. 22). ). In addition, since one card B is a card corresponding to CZ2, the player who sees this is given CZ2, which is the privilege with the highest game profit among ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT. I am convinced that this is the case, and I have high expectations for the granting of ART, which has the highest game profit.

One ART and two normal PTs are given in the second specific game section, and the CZ1 lottery is won during the special PT precursor mode before the transition to the second specific game section, and the game information storage area 140 The special PT precursor remains without being extracted. Therefore, at the end of the second CZ1 mode, one ART and one special PT precursor are stored in the game information storage area 140. At this time, in order to give the highest priority to the transition to the ART precursor mode (transition to the ART mode), one ART is extracted from the game information storage area 140, and by this extraction, the ART precursor mode is set after the end of the second CZ1 mode. Transition (Fig. 23 (a)). Then, although not shown, the transition to the ART mode is notified by the sub monitor 6 or the like at the end of the ART precursor mode, and the effect mode shifts to the ART mode.

Next, a specific example of the transition of the gaming state in the non-ART mode will be described with reference to FIG. 24. The specific example shown in FIG. 24 is a specific example in which three CZ2s are given as a privilege in the specific game section and the transition to the CZ2 mode is repeated a total of three times, and the first CZ2 mode and the second time. In the CZ2 mode of No. 1, the result of the ART lottery was lost, but this is a specific example of the case where the ART lottery is won in the third CZ2 mode and the mode shifts to the ART mode.

As shown in FIG. 24A, when the CZ1 lottery is won in the normal mode, the process shifts to the specific game section in which the privilege processing is performed twice. Three CZ2s are given in this specific game section, and based on these three CZ2s, a spinning effect is executed at the start of the last game (second game) in the first CZ1 mode, and the spinning effect is performed. After the execution, the card effect was executed on the sub monitor 6. In addition, based on CZ2 of one of the three CZ2s given in the specific game section, after the end of the CZ1 mode, the mode was changed to the CZ2 precursor mode, and then the first CZ2 mode was started.

As shown in FIG. 24A, a process of determining the winning probability of the ART lottery (ART winning probability determination process) was performed in the first game (first game) in the first CZ2 mode. At this time, since the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 was 30% of the initial value, the ART winning probability is determined from 30%, 50%, and 70%.

As shown in FIG. 24B, in the first CZ2 mode, the ART winning probability was determined to be 50%, and the ART lottery performed with this 50% winning probability was lost. At this time, since the two CZ2s (precursor privilege) accompanied by the transition to the precursor mode are stored in the game information storage area 140, the screen shifts to the CZ2 precursor mode again after the end of the first CZ2 mode, and then 2 The mode was changed to the second CZ2 mode.

As shown in FIG. 24A, the ART winning probability determination process was performed in the first game in the second CZ2 mode. At this time, since the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 was 50%, the ART winning probability is determined from 50% and 70%.

As shown in FIG. 24B, in the second CZ2 mode, the ART winning probability was determined to be 50%, and the ART lottery performed with this 50% winning probability was lost. At this time, since one CZ2 (precursor privilege) accompanied by the transition to the precursor mode is stored in the game information storage area 140, the screen shifts to the CZ2 precursor mode again after the end of the second CZ2 mode, and then 3 The mode was changed to the second CZ2 mode.

As shown in FIG. 24A, the ART winning probability determination process was performed in the first game in the third CZ2 mode. At this time, since the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 was 50%, the ART winning probability is determined from 50% and 70%. Then, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), in the third CZ2 mode, the ART winning probability was determined to be 70%, and the ART lottery performed with this 70% winning probability was a win. As a result, at the end of the third CZ2 mode, the winning of the ART lottery is notified and the production mode shifts to the ART mode. As shown in FIG. 24B, the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 was initialized to 30% by winning the ART lottery in the third CZ2 mode.

As described above, in the first embodiment, in the specific game section composed of the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode, the privilege processing related to the granting of the privilege is executed in two steps. Based on the type of privilege determined in both the first privilege processing and the second privilege processing (the type of privilege determined in the privilege content lottery), one of multiple types of rotating production It is configured to execute the rotation effect of. For this reason, it is possible to execute one rotation effect that reflects all the benefits determined in the two privilege processes, so that the effect of the rotation effect can be enhanced.

Assuming that the privilege processing is executed every time the privilege processing is executed, in the present embodiment, the privilege processing is executed in each of the two consecutive games. The torso production is executed in succession in two games, which is annoying because it interferes with the games. In the present embodiment, since it is configured to execute one spinning effect based on all the benefits determined in the two privilege processings, it is possible to prevent the execution of the spinning effect from interfering with the game. In addition to being able to do so, it is possible to notify the player of the cumulatively acquired benefits with a single effect.

In the first embodiment, it is configured to execute one rotation effect by using all the results (game information) of the privilege processing obtained in the specific game section composed of a plurality of games. However, it is not limited to this configuration, and one time using not only the result of privilege processing (game information) obtained in the specific game section but also other game information such as the result of the internal lottery performed in the specific game section. It may be configured to perform a torso effect.

In the first embodiment, the period from the winning of the CZ1 lottery to the end of the CZ1 mode is set as the specific game section, and each time the game is played in the specific game section, the privilege process related to the granting of the privilege related to the game is executed. You may. For example, the specific game section from the winning of the CZ1 lottery to the end of the CZ1 mode is composed of N times (for example, 5 times) of games, and a total of 5 privilege processes are performed in the specific game section. One rotation effect may be executed based on all the obtained benefits (game information). Further, in the above configuration, the first privilege processing is performed in the first game of the specific game section, the second privilege processing is performed in the third game of the specific game section, and the last (fifth) game of the specific game section is performed. Perform the third privilege processing. Then, based on all the benefits (game information) obtained in these three privilege processes, one rotation effect can be executed, or the benefits obtained in the first privilege process and the third privilege process can be executed. One rotation effect may be executed based on (game information).

Further, in the first embodiment example, one time out of a plurality of types of spinning drum productions based on the types of benefits determined in the two privilege processes (types of benefits determined in the privilege content lottery, game information). The structure is such that the body production is determined, but the configuration is not limited to this, and is based on the number of benefits determined by the two privilege processes (the number of executions of the privilege content lottery determined in the execution number determination lottery, game information). It may be configured to determine one rotation effect from a plurality of types of rotation effects, or a plurality of types based on both the type and number of benefits determined in the two privilege processes (game information). The configuration may be such that one of the types of rotating effect is determined.

Further, in the first embodiment, the specific game section is composed of two games, the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode, and the privilege is given in each game in the specific game section. Although it is configured to execute the privilege processing, it is not limited to this configuration, and the specific game section is composed of a part of the period during which one game is performed (hereinafter referred to as one game section). It may have been done. For example, in the specific game section, the first section from the operation of the start lever 15 to the operation of the first stop button and the period from the operation of the first stop button to the operation of the second stop button are performed. It may be configured to be composed of a second section and to perform privilege processing by executing a predetermined lottery regarding the privilege in both the first section and the second section. Further, for example, in the specific game section, the second section from the operation of the first stop button to the operation of the second stop button and the last stop button after the operation of the second stop button are operated. It may be configured to be composed of a third section until it is completed, and the privilege processing may be executed in both the second section and the third section.

Further, in the first embodiment, the type of privilege obtained in the specific game section is suggested by the rotating body effect using the operation mode of the reel, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration and is movable only for the effect. The body may be provided, and the type of privilege obtained in the specific game section may be suggested by the movable body effect using the movement mode of the movable body.

Further, in the first embodiment, when a precursory privilege (ART, CZ2, special PT precursor) accompanied by a transition to the precursory mode is given in the specific game section, after the precursory mode ends based on the granted privilege. Since it is configured to change the production mode, it is possible to attract the player's interest to the transition destination of the production mode after the end of the precursor mode.

In the first embodiment, the CZ1 mode, the CZ2 mode, etc. are provided as the effect modes that can be transitioned in the non-ART mode, but the configuration is not limited to this configuration, and the CZ1 mode, the CZ2 mode, etc. are in the ART mode. It may be a production mode that can be changed with.

In the first embodiment, different identification values "0 to 5" are associated with each of the plurality of types of effect modes, and the precursory benefits (ART, CZ2, special) accompanied by the transition to the precursory mode in the specific game section. When PT precursor) is given, the transition to the precursor mode is decided, the identification value is updated to "3" (specific identification value) by the decision to shift to the precursor mode, and the identification value is set to "3". Shift the production mode to the precursor mode based on the update. At this time, when different types of precursory benefits are stored in the game information storage area 140, the transition to the ART precursor mode is prioritized over the transition to the CZ2 precursor mode, and the transition to the CZ2 precursor mode is a special PT. It is configured to give priority to the transition to the precursor mode. In this way, when the identification value is updated to "3", the effect mode is shifted to the predetermined precursor mode according to a predetermined priority, so that the ART precursor mode, the CZ2 precursor mode, and the like. Even if the same identification value "3" is associated with all the precursor modes of the special PT precursor mode, the transition of the effect mode can be controlled (managed).

Assuming that different identification values are associated with each of the ART precursor mode, the CZ2 precursor mode, and the special PT precursor mode, an individual program for managing the processing performed in the precursor mode and the progress of the game for each type of the precursor mode. Is required, which puts pressure on the capacity of the main ROM and the like of the main control processing unit 100. In the present embodiment, by managing the precursor modes of different types with one identification value, as shown in FIG. 16, a separate program is not required for each type of precursor mode, and program compression can be realized. ..

In the first embodiment, a plurality of types of effect modes (for example, CZ2 mode) other than the precursor mode are provided, and the same specific identification value is associated with all of the plurality of types of effect modes, and the identification value is the specific identification value. When it is updated to, the effect mode may be changed according to a predetermined priority.

Further, in the first embodiment, the same identification value "3" is associated with all the precursor modes of the ART precursor mode, the CZ2 precursor mode, and the special PT precursor mode, and in these precursor modes, the type of the precursor mode is recognized. The configuration is such that the effect is executed in a difficult manner, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and an effect capable of determining the type of the precursor mode may be executed during the precursor mode.

In the first embodiment, based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the normal mode, any of the benefits from ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT is given, and the number and type of the given benefits are indicated by card A. It is configured to be displayed on the sub monitor 6 in ~ F (display mode). Therefore, the number and types of benefits given based on the card displayed on the sub monitor 6 (privileges stored in the game information storage area 140) are, in other words, the player is made to predict the type of the effect mode to be transferred from now on. be able to.

Further, in the first embodiment, it is configured so that the type of privilege can be suggested by displaying a plurality of cards on the sub monitor 6 for one privilege given in the specific game section, and ART (special privilege). ) Is displayed on a plurality of cards, a plurality of cards (cards B to D) different from the card A that notifies the confirmation of the grant of ART are displayed on the sub monitor 6. Therefore, even if the card A is not displayed on the sub monitor 6, ART may be given as a privilege, so that a feeling of expectation for the grant of ART can be given.

In particular, in the first embodiment, when the grant of ART (special privilege) is displayed by a plurality of cards, a plurality of cards corresponding to the privilege having a lower game profit than ART are displayed on the sub monitor 6 and CZ2. When the grant of (special privilege) is displayed on a plurality of cards, the grant of ART or CZ2 is given because the sub monitor 6 is configured to display a plurality of cards corresponding to the privilege having a lower game profit than CZ2. Compared to the conventional monotonous production that always displays with the corresponding card, it is possible to enhance the production effect by making a wide variety of productions.

In the first embodiment, when the sub monitor 6 displays one card for one privilege determined in the specific game section to notify or suggest the privilege, the grant of ART is given to the card A. , CZ2 grant is displayed on card B, special PT grant is displayed on card D, and normal PT grant is displayed on card F, that is, one card different from each other for all the benefits of ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT. The cards are associated with each other. Further, when suggesting a privilege by displaying a plurality of cards on the sub monitor 6 for one privilege determined in the specific game section, the grant of ART is granted by the plurality of cards B to D and CZ2. Is displayed on each of a plurality of cards C to F. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and a modification of the configuration will be described below with reference to FIG. 25.

As shown in FIG. 25, when suggesting a privilege by displaying one card on the sub monitor 6 for one privilege determined in the specific game section, the grant of ART is given to any of the cards A to D. One card, the grant of CZ2 is displayed on any one of the cards B to F, and the grant of the special PT is displayed on the sub monitor 6 by any one of the cards C to F. Further, when suggesting a privilege by displaying a plurality of cards on the sub monitor 6 for one privilege determined in the specific game section, the grant of ART is given to two cards B and three cards C. One of the five cards F, two CZ2 grants, three card D, one of the five card Fs, two special PT grants Any one of the card D, the three cards E, and the five cards F is displayed on the sub monitor 6. That is, a plurality of groups of the same type of cards such as two cards B and three cards C are prepared in advance, and these plurality of groups are associated with each privilege.

According to the above modification, one card A notifies the grant of ART, one card B notifies the grant of either ART or CZ2, and one card C and one card D are , ART, CZ2 and special PT can be notified of the grant of any one of the benefits, and one card E can be notified of the grant of any one of CZ2 and special PT. As described above, even if any one of the cards A to D is used to display the grant of ART on the sub monitor 6, the one card A displayed on the sub monitor 6 is in the ART mode as in the present embodiment. It is possible to notify the player of the confirmation of the transition to. Then, one card F can notify the player of the grant of the normal PT having the lowest game profit among the plurality of types of benefits, but when any of the benefits of ART, CZ2, and special PT is granted. Even so, since five cards F may be displayed, it is difficult to recognize the type and number of benefits based on the number and types of cards displayed on the sub monitor 6, and a gaming machine having different tastes is provided. can do.

In the first embodiment, in the specific game section composed of two games, the last game in the CZ1 latent mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode, the privilege process for determining the privilege is executed in two times. In each of these privilege processes, the privilege content lottery is executed for the number of executions determined in the execution number determination lottery, and in this privilege content lottery, one privilege is always selected from ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT. Since it is configured to determine, it is possible to prevent a decrease in motivation for playing due to the fact that the privilege is not given.

Then, in the first embodiment, when CZ2 is given as a privilege in the privilege content lottery, the mode shifts to the CZ2 mode and the ART lottery is performed, and when the ART lottery is won, the mode shifts to the ART mode. .. In addition, when the production points (special PT, normal PT) are given as a privilege in the privilege content lottery and the production points stored in the game information storage area 140 reach a predetermined value (10000), the ART mode is entered. The transition is decided. That is, all the benefits of ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT are the benefits for shifting the production mode to the ART mode, and in this embodiment, the benefits for shifting to the ART mode by the privilege content lottery are provided. It is configured to be given to the player without fail. As described above, in the present embodiment example, since some privilege can be obtained each time the privilege content lottery is executed, the ART mode is entered by repeatedly staying in the specific game section that shifts to the winning of the CZ1 lottery. It is possible to increase the possibility of transition, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the transition to the ART mode cannot be performed even though the CZ1 lottery has been won many times, and the playability can be enhanced.

In the first embodiment, it is configured so that one of a plurality of types of benefits is always determined in the privilege content lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and one privilege is always determined in the privilege content lottery. It may be configured to determine two or more perks on condition of doing so.

In addition, in the first embodiment example, since the number of executions of the privilege content lottery is determined by the execution number determination lottery (loop lottery) that is repeated until the result is lost, the execution number determination lottery is never won. As a result, there is a possibility that the privilege content lottery will not be executed and the privilege will not be granted. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the winning compensation number of the execution number determination lottery may be set in advance so that the execution number determination lottery is always won at least once, or the execution number determination lottery is never won. In such a case, the normal PT having the lowest game profit among the ART, CZ2, special PT, and normal PT may be configured to be always given as the minimum benefit. In this way, since the privilege can be always given to the player in the specific game section that shifts to the winning of the CZ1 lottery, it is possible to maintain the player's motivation to play.

In the first embodiment, when the effect points stored in the game information storage area 140 reach a predetermined value (for example, 10000), the CZ1 lottery winning is given as a privilege, that is, a specific game. Based on the fact that the production points (special benefits) have been given in the section, the configuration may be such that the player shifts to the specific game section again after the end of the specific game section. The modified example will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 26, when a special PT is given in the first specific game section, the production point reaches "10000", and the winning of the CZ1 lottery is given, the production is performed after the end of the first CZ1 mode. The mode is shifted to the special PT precursor mode, a notification that the effect point has reached a predetermined value at the end of the special PT precursor mode is notified, and then the effect mode is shifted to the second CZ1 mode. In this way, the special PT precursor mode becomes an effect mode that is a prerequisite for the second transition to the CZ1 mode, and plays the role of the CZ1 latent mode. That is, the special PT precursor mode shown in FIG. 26 can be said to be the CZ1 latent mode. Therefore, the second specific game section in the modified example is composed of the last game in the special PT precursor mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode, and the first privilege processing is the last in the special PT precursor mode. The second privilege processing is performed in the first game in the second CZ1 mode. In this way, when the effect points are given in the specific game section and the cumulative value of the effect points reaches a predetermined value, the process shifts to the specific game section again after the end of the specific game section this time. That is, in the specific game section, it is possible to acquire a privilege that triggers the transition to the specific game section itself, and it is possible to give many opportunities for granting the privilege and attract the interest of the player. Although not shown, the right to shift to the CZ2 mode (CZ2) may be granted as a privilege when the effect points stored in the game information storage area 140 reach a predetermined value.

In the first embodiment, when CZ2 is given as a privilege in the specific game section, the production mode is shifted to the CZ2 mode, and the winning probability of the ART lottery performed in the CZ2 mode at the start of the CZ2 mode is 30%, 50. It is configured to determine from% and 70%. At this time, the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 is not updated to a low probability, that is, the ART performed in the current CZ2 mode is higher than the winning probability of the ART lottery performed in the previous CZ2 mode. The ART winning probability is determined so that the winning probability of the lottery does not become low. In other words, in the CZ2 mode that grants multiple types of benefits (ART winning probability 30%, 50%, 70%) with different game profits, which are game benefits, this CZ2 is more than the benefits granted in the previous CZ2 mode. The privilege to be given in the current CZ2 mode is determined based on the game profit of the privilege determined in the previous CZ2 mode so that the privilege given in the mode does not become a privilege having a lower game profit. As a result, by repeating the transition to the CZ2 mode, it is possible to fluctuate the ART winning probability with a high probability and increase the possibility of the transition to the ART mode, and the result of the ART lottery for each transition to the CZ2 mode. It is possible to prevent the player from losing the game and giving the player a sense of loss.

Then, in the first embodiment, when the ART lottery in the CZ2 mode is won, the ART winning probability stored in the game information storage area 140 is initialized to 30%, which is long. It is possible to prevent the ART winning probability from being maintained at a high probability over a period of time and being frequently won in the ART lottery.

In the example of the present embodiment, the ART winning probability is initialized to 30% based on the winning of the ART lottery in the CZ2 mode, but it is prevented that the ART winning probability is maintained with a high probability. For example, when the ART lottery is won, the ART winning probability in the current CZ2 mode is determined regardless of the ART winning probability in the previous CZ2 mode, that is, the present embodiment. Instead of initializing the ART winning probability based on the winning of the ART lottery as in It may be configured to be determined from%, 50%, and 70%. In this way, it is possible to prevent the ART winning probability from being continuously maintained at a high probability even if the process of initializing the winning probability of the ART lottery is not performed.

In the first embodiment, the winning probability of the ART lottery is determined based on the transition to the CZ2 mode (establishment of a predetermined condition), but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the specific game section (CZ1) is not limited to this configuration. It may be configured to determine the winning probability of the ART lottery in the CZ2 mode based on the transition to the latent mode (CZ1 mode), that is, based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery (the establishment of a predetermined condition). In this way, even if CZ2 is not given as a privilege in the specific game section and the mode does not shift to the CZ2 mode, the winning probability of the ART lottery in the CZ2 mode is determined for each transition of the specific game section. Similar to the embodiment, the ART winning probability of this time is determined so as not to be lower than the ART winning probability determined last time. In this way, even without shifting to the CZ2 mode, by repeating the winning of the CZ1 lottery, the winning probability of the ART lottery in the CZ2 mode can be changed with a high probability, so that the chance of shifting to the ART mode is increased. The playability can be improved.

In the first embodiment, normal RT1, normal RT2, and normal RT3 are provided as game states, and a symbol combination corresponding to REP6 is effective by winning the winning area "RT3 transition lip" in normal RT1 and normal RT2. Based on the fact that the game state is shifted to the normal RT3 based on the display on the line L, the winning area "RT2 rip" is won in this normal RT3, and the symbol combination corresponding to the REP5 is displayed on the valid line L. The game state is shifted to the normal RT1, and the game state is shifted to the normal RT2 based on the fact that the winning area "RT1 rip" is won in the normal RT3 and the symbol combination corresponding to the REP4 is displayed on the effective line L. It has become. As described above, in the present embodiment, not only the normal RT1 and the normal RT2 are configured to be able to shift to the normal RT3, but also the original normal RT1 and the normal RT2 before the transition from the normal RT3 to the normal RT3 are possible. It is configured so that it can be migrated to any of the above. Therefore, the transition of the gaming state can be diversified.

In particular, in the first embodiment, in the normal RT3, the winning probability of the winning area "rare lip" (rare lip) that triggers the execution of the CZ1 lottery is set to be higher than that of the normal RT1 and the normal RT2, and the winning of the rare lip is set. It is possible to realize a direct transition of the gaming state from the normal RT1 with a low probability to the normal RT3. That is, the internal lottery means 102 is configured to change the lottery mode of the internal lottery so as to change the winning probability of the rare lip to a high probability based on the transition to the normal RT3. Therefore, in order to change the winning probability of the rare lip from a low probability to a high probability, the normal RT1 wins a role (winning area) having a transition function to the normal RT2, and the game state is temporarily shifted from the normal RT1 to the normal RT2. After that, the normal RT2 waits for the winning of the winning combination (winning area) having the transition function to the normal RT3 again, and the unnecessary procedure of shifting the gaming state from the normal RT2 to the normal RT3 by winning the winning combination is omitted. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor of the game by the player.

Further, in the first embodiment, in the winning area "RT3 transition lip" (RT3 transition lip) that normally realizes the transition to RT3, the symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. REP6 is associated independently. Therefore, even if the batting order effect related to the operation order of the stop button is not executed at the time of winning the RT3 transition lip, by winning the RT3 transition lip with either the normal RT1 or the normal RT2, either the normal RT1 or the normal RT2 can be won. It is possible to directly shift from the gaming state to the normal RT3. That is, by winning the RT3 transition lip in the non-ART mode in which the batting order effect cannot be executed, it is possible to shift the game state to the normal RT3 and change the winning probability of the special area to a high probability. Therefore, a special mode is further provided as an effect mode that is more advantageous to the player than the ART mode, and the effect mode corresponding to the normal RT3 is set to the special mode. Then, in the normal RT1 that generally stays in the non-ART mode, the game state is shifted to the normal RT3 and the production mode stays in the specialized mode without executing the batting order effect when the RT3 transition lip is won, and the normal RT3 By shifting to, the probability of winning a rare lip can be changed from a low probability to a high probability, and a game can be realized in which a player is given a privilege by winning a rare lip or a rare bell in the specialized mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, as in the conventional case, it is only possible to shift the normal RT2 that generally stays in the ART mode to the normal RT3 and stay in the specialized mode by winning the RT3 transition lip. Instead, by winning the RT3 transition lip that does not require batting order production, the production mode is directly shifted from the non-ART mode to the highest specialized mode by shifting the game state from the normal RT1 to the normal RT3. Therefore, it is possible to enrich the variety of games.

In the first embodiment, the mode of the internal lottery is changed so as to change the winning probability of the special area to a high probability based on the transition to RT3, but the configuration is limited to this. Instead, it may be configured to change the mode of the internal lottery so as to change the winning probability of the special area to a low probability based on the transition to the normal RT3. In this case, it is preferable to associate the normal mode, which is the most disadvantageous to the player among the effect modes, with the normal RT3.

Further, in the first embodiment, the winning probability of the replaying combination is about 1 / 7.3 for the normal RT1, about 1/2 for the normal RT2 and the normal RT3, and the winning probability of the rare lip is about 1 / 7.3 for the normal RT1 and the normal RT2. It is set to about 1/120 and about 1/10 in normal RT3, but it is not limited to this configuration, and it is assumed that the winning probability of rare lip in normal RT3 is set to the highest probability in the normal state. In addition, for example, the winning probability of the re-game combination may be set to about 1 / 7.3 for the normal RT1 and the normal RT2, and about 1/2 for the RT3, respectively.

In the first embodiment, based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the normal mode, the mode is shifted to the CZ1 mode via the CZ1 latent mode, and the first privilege process is executed in the final game in the CZ1 latent mode. , Since the first game in the CZ1 mode is configured to execute the second privilege process, it is possible to secure the opportunity to grant the privilege twice and improve the game playability.

Further, in the first embodiment example, the CZ1 lottery that triggers the transition to the specific game section in which the privilege processing is performed twice is executed not only in the normal mode but also in the precursor mode (special effect state), and the CZ1 is executed in the precursor mode. Every time the lottery is won, it is possible to repeatedly shift to the specific game section where the privilege processing is performed twice. As a result, the precursor mode, which is a prerequisite for the transition to the ART mode (second effect state), CZ2 mode (second effect state), etc., plays a role as a chance mode in which benefits can be obtained, and the game in the precursor mode. The sex can be improved.

In particular, in the first embodiment, the precursory privilege (ART, CZ2, special PT precursor) accompanied by the transition to the precursor mode is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the CZ1 mode (first effect state). In this case, the effect mode is shifted to the precursor mode (special effect state) after the end of the CZ1 mode, but in the precursor mode, the CZ1 lottery is performed for each game, and if the CZ1 lottery is won, the mode is changed to the precursor mode. The configuration is such that the precursory privilege that triggered the transition to the specific game section is transferred to the specific game section again without subtracting (extracting) from the game information storage area 140. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the precursor mode is interrupted based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, the precursor mode is reset and stays in the precursor mode again. By winning the CZ1 lottery in, the chances of executing the CZ1 lottery can be increased.

In the first embodiment, when the CZ1 lottery is won during the precursory mode and the player shifts to the specific game section again, a higher-ranked benefit having a higher game profit than the benefit given in the previous specific game section is given. It may be configured so that it can be granted in this specific game section, or it is configured to prohibit the granting of lower-level benefits with a lower game profit than the benefits granted in the previous specific game section in this specific game section. You may.

Further, in the first embodiment, as benefits related to the game, a plurality of types of benefits such as the right to shift to the ART mode (ART) and the right to shift to the special PT precursor mode (special PT precursor) are provided. , Based on winning the CZ1 lottery during the stay in the precursor mode (special effect state), the precursor mode is interrupted (finished) and the effect mode is switched back to the CZ1 latent mode and the CZ1 mode (first effect state). .. In this case, the effect modes are CZ1 latent mode and CZ1 mode (first specific game section) → first precursor mode → CZ1 latent mode and CZ1 mode (second specific game section) → second precursor mode. Will be migrated with. At this time, as shown in FIG. 23, the precursor mode interrupted by the winning of the CZ1 lottery based on the granting of different types of benefits in the first specific game section and the second specific game section ( Switch the special PT precursor mode in FIG. 23 to a new precursor mode (ART precursor mode in FIG. 23) and shift to a new precursor mode (new special production state) after the end of the second specific game section. It is configured. As described above, in the first embodiment, based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, the transition between the precursor mode and the specific game section is repeated, but the type of privilege given in the specific game section Since the type of precursor mode is switched (switched) according to the situation, it is possible to enhance the effect of the effect by enriching the variation of the transition of the effect mode, and by switching the type of the precursor mode, the previous specific game section. It is possible to suggest that different types of benefits have been granted between this specific game section and this time.

In particular, in the first embodiment, when the transition to the precursor mode is determined, if a plurality of types of precursor benefits (ART, CZ2, special PT precursor) are stored in the game information storage area 140, ART The transition to the precursor mode should be prioritized over the transition to the CZ2 precursor mode, and the transition to the CZ2 precursor mode should be prioritized over the transition to the special PT precursor mode. Therefore, when the type of the precursor mode is switched based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, it means that the mode has been shifted to the precursor mode with higher game profit. Therefore, the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the type of precursor mode.

In the first embodiment, when the CZ1 lottery is won in the precursor mode, the effect mode is shifted to the CZ1 mode via the CZ1 latent mode, and both the CZ1 latent mode and the CZ1 mode, that is, the specific game The configuration is such that an opportunity to give a privilege is given in the section, but the configuration is not limited to this configuration, and a configuration may be used in which the mode is directly shifted to the CZ1 mode without going through the CZ1 latent mode. That is, the precursor mode is terminated based on the fact that the CZ1 lottery is won before the predetermined number of games (10 times) are executed in the precursor mode (special effect state) (before the end condition is satisfied), and the privilege processing is performed. The configuration is such that the mode shifts to the CZ1 mode (first effect state) to be performed. With this configuration, since the mode does not shift to the CZ1 latent mode, the first privilege processing performed in the CZ1 latent mode is not performed, but instead, the first privilege processing is performed when the CZ1 lottery is won. Is suitable. In this case, the specific game section is composed of the game that won the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode and the first game in the CZ1 mode that corresponds to the next game of this game.

Subsequently, the slot machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Comparing the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the precursor mode is composed of a predetermined number of games (precursor number of times, for example, 10 times), and the CZ1 lottery is won in the precursor mode. In some cases, the precursor mode (hereinafter referred to as the previous precursor mode) is terminated to shift to the CZ1 mode, and after the end of the CZ1 mode, the effect mode is again the precursor mode (hereinafter referred to as the present precursor mode). Although it is common in that it shifts to, the slot machine according to the second embodiment is a stay period adjusting means (illustrated) that adjusts the stay period of the present precursor mode based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the previous precursor mode. It differs in that it has (omitted). Therefore, a part different from the first embodiment will be described, and the same part will be omitted.

The stay period adjusting means according to the second embodiment sets the number of unexecuted games that have not yet been executed in the previous precursor mode based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the previous precursor mode in the game information storage area 140. It is stored as the number of unexecuted times. Then, when the stay period adjusting means shifts to the current precursor mode after the end of the previous precursor mode, the stay period of the current precursor mode is determined to be the number of unexecuted times stored in the game information storage area 140. do. Hereinafter, the control process of the precursor mode according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 27. As in the first embodiment, the precursor mode is composed of 10 predetermined games regardless of the type of the precursor mode (the precursor mode is 10 times).

(Steps S301 to S303)
First, it is determined whether or not the number of unexecuted times is stored in the game information storage area 140 by winning the CZ1 lottery in the previous precursor mode (S301). At this time, if the number of unexecuted times is stored in the game information storage area 140 (Yes in S301), the number of unexecuted times is determined as the number of precursors (stay period) in the present precursor mode, and this precursor number is set. It is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S302). On the other hand, when the unexecuted number of times is not stored in the game information storage area 140 (No in S301), the predetermined "10 times" is determined as the precursor number (stay period) in the present precursor mode, and this The precursor number "10" is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S302).

(Step S304)
Next, "1" is subtracted from the number of precursors stored in the game information storage area 140 (S304), and the CZ1 lottery is executed (S305). After that, it is determined whether or not the CZ1 lottery has been won (S306), and if the CZ1 lottery is won (Yes in S306), the number of unexecuted games that have not yet been executed in the precursor mode is stored in the game information. It is stored in the area 140 as the number of unexecuted times (S307). Then, the transition to the CZ1 latent mode is determined (S308), and the identification value stored in the game information storage area 140 is updated to "1" (S309). On the other hand, when the CZ1 lottery is not won (No in S306), it is determined whether or not the number of precursors stored in the game information storage area 140 is "0" (S310), and the number of precursors is "". If it is not "0" (No in S310), the first effect mode control process in the precursor mode is terminated, and if the number of precursors is "0" (Yes in S310), the process is moved to step S160 to signal the precursor. After the mode ends, the precursor mode end process for determining which effect mode to shift to is executed. The precursor mode termination process according to the second embodiment is the same as the precursor mode termination process according to the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

For example, when the CZ1 lottery is won in the third game in the previous precursor mode, the number of unexecuted games is 7 times (10 to 3 times), and the number of unexecuted games is "7" in the game information storage area 140. Is stored, and when the CZ1 mode shifted based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery ends and the mode shifts to the precursor mode again, the number of unexecuted times “7” becomes the stay period of the precursor mode this time.

As described above, in the slot machine according to the second embodiment, the number of games that have won the CZ1 lottery in the previous precursor mode and have not been executed is set in the stay period of the present precursor mode, that is, The number of unexecuted games that was not executed in the previous precursor mode is taken over as the number of games played in this precursor mode. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the period of staying in the omen mode from being prolonged by shifting to the omen mode composed of a predetermined number of games each time the CZ1 lottery is won in the omen mode. ..

Temporarily, the number of unexecuted games that was not executed in the previous precursor mode was not taken over as the number of games in the precursor mode this time, but was composed of a predetermined number of games each time the CZ1 lottery was won in the precursor mode. If the configuration is set to shift to the precursor mode, the CZ1 lottery will be frequently won in the ART precursor mode, which is premised on the transition to the ART mode, and the transition to the ART mode will be postponed intentionally. There is a risk of giving the player a sense of distrust that the precursor mode may be prolonged, which causes a problem of causing a decrease in playability. In the present embodiment, since the period of stay in the precursor mode does not change due to the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, the above problem can be solved.

Further, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the game information storage area 140 stores different types of precursory benefits at the end of the CZ1 mode, the special PT precursory mode is shifted. The transition of the CZ2 precursor mode is prioritized over the transition of the CZ2 precursor mode, and the transition of the ART precursor mode is prioritized over the transition of the CZ2 precursor mode. Therefore, based on the winning of the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode, the precursor mode may be rewritten so that the previous precursor mode and the current precursor mode may be different types of precursor modes. Even if there is, the length of stay in the precursor mode does not change. If the types of the previous precursor mode and the current precursor mode are different, and the number of unexecuted games in the previous precursor mode is not inherited as the number of games in the current precursor mode, the length of stay in the precursor mode is short and precursor. It becomes possible to determine that the mode has been rewritten, and there is a risk that the player's interest in the precursor mode will be lost. In the present embodiment, regardless of the type of the precursor mode, the number of unexecuted games in the previous precursor mode is inherited as the number of games in the precursor mode this time, so that the player's interest in the precursor mode can be maintained.

In the second embodiment, when the effect mode in the precursor mode is changed according to the type of the precursor mode, the precursor mode can be determined based on the effect mode. In this configuration, if the number of unexecuted times in the previous precursor mode is not inherited as the number of games in the precursor mode this time, the player can change the type of the precursor mode to the ART precursor mode depending on the effect mode in the precursor mode. You may win the CZ1 lottery with certainty. In this case, the period of stay in the precursor mode will be prolonged, and the transition to the ART mode will be postponed. As a result, the playability may be significantly reduced. In this way, even if the effect mode in the precursor mode is changed according to the type of the precursor mode, in the second embodiment, the number of unexecuted times in the previous precursor mode is used as the number of games in the precursor mode this time. Since it is taken over, it is possible to prevent a decrease in playability.

In the second embodiment, benefits such as ART and CZ2 are given by re-shifting to the CZ1 mode (first effect state) based on winning the CZ1 lottery in the precursor mode (special effect state). Although it is configured to execute privilege processing, it is not limited to this configuration, and privilege grant lottery such as ART lottery or CZ2 lottery is executed in the precursor mode, and based on winning the privilege grant lottery, ART, CZ2, etc. It may be configured to give a privilege, switch to a new precursor mode (new special effect state) corresponding to the granted privilege, and shift to this new precursor mode. For example, when ART is granted based on winning the privilege grant lottery in the special PT precursor mode, the special PT precursor mode is terminated and the mode is shifted to the new ART precursor mode. At this time, it is preferable to set the number of unexecuted games in the special PT precursor mode to the stay period in the ART precursor mode, as in the first embodiment.

Subsequently, the slot machine according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Comparing the first embodiment and the third embodiment, a plurality of types of cards (display modes) capable of notifying or suggesting benefits are provided, one card A in ART, and one card in CZ2. Card B, one card D to the special PT, and one card F to the normal PT (see FIG. 11), ART and CZ2 in the specific game section (hereinafter, third embodiment example). When any one of the special benefits is given as a benefit, a plurality of cards different from the cards corresponding to the special benefits are displayed on the sub monitor 6 (see FIG. 11). In the embodiment example, after displaying a plurality of cards different from the cards corresponding to the special benefits (ART, CZ2) given in the specific game section, the special benefits given in the specific game section are supported in place of these different cards. The card to be played is displayed on the sub monitor 6. Hereinafter, a specific example of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 28.

The specific example shown in FIG. 28 is an example in which a plurality of cards are displayed on the sub monitor 6 when one ART and one normal PT are given as a privilege in the specific game section. The slot machine S is provided with an effect button 60 for effect.

As shown in FIG. 28 (a), four cards 61 to 64 were displayed on the sub monitor 6 in the final game in the CZ1 mode. At this time, the cards 61 to 64 are displayed on the sub monitor 6 in such a manner that the type of the card is kept secret. Then, although not shown, after the cards 61 to 64 are displayed on the sub monitor 6, an effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 60 is executed by the pair of speakers 5 or the sub monitor 6.

As shown in FIG. 28 (b), when the effect button 60 is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (c), the type of one card 61 out of the four cards 61 to 64 is card F. Disclosed. One card F is a card corresponding to a normal PT having the lowest game profit among a plurality of types of benefits. Therefore, the player who sees this expects the types of cards 62 to 64 whose card types are kept secret.

As shown in FIG. 28 (d), when the effect button 60 is operated in a state where the types of cards 62 to 64 are kept secret, the type of card 62 is card D as shown in FIG. 28 (e). Was disclosed. The privilege corresponding to one card D is a special PT, but when ART or CZ2 (special privilege) is given as a privilege, a plurality of cards including the card D may be displayed on the sub monitor 6. Yes (see S247 and S253 in FIGS. 11 and 22). Therefore, the player who sees this is expected to give a privilege having a high game profit.

As shown in FIG. 28 (f), when the effect button 60 is operated with the types of cards 63 and 64 kept secret, the type of card 62 is card B as shown in FIG. 28 (g). Was disclosed. The privilege corresponding to one card B is CZ2, but when ART is given as a privilege, a plurality of cards including card B may be displayed on the sub monitor 6, and at least ART or CZ2 is given. Is deterministic (see S247 in FIGS. 11 and 22). After seeing this, the player is convinced that the higher-ranking privilege with high game profit will be given, and expects the type of card 64 that is still kept secret.

As shown in FIG. 28 (h), when the effect button 60 is operated in a state where only the type of the card 64 is kept secret, the type of the card 64 is the card C as shown in FIG. 28 (j). Disclosed. Since the privilege corresponding to one card C is not provided (see FIG. 11), the fact that the card C is displayed on the sub monitor 6 means that the privilege given in the specific game section is the sub monitor 6 with a plurality of cards. It means that it was displayed in. Then, substantially in synchronization with the timing when it is disclosed that the type of the card 64 is the card C, the effect 65 of the display "Press the button!" Is executed on the sub monitor 6, and according to this effect, FIG. 28 (k) shows. As shown, the effect button 60 was operated. At this time, the effect button 60 starts to vibrate, and although not shown, the effect of synthesizing (combining, mixing, combining) all of the cards D, B, and C to generate a new card A is the sub monitor 6. As shown in FIG. 28 (m), one card A was displayed instead of the cards D, B, and C of the cards 62 to 64. As a result, the granting of ART is notified, and the player is confident of the transition to the ART mode and improves the motivation to play.

As described above, in the third embodiment, a plurality of cards are displayed on the sub monitor 6 in a manner in which the card type is concealed, and the card type of the plurality of cards is disclosed each time the effect button 60 is pressed. Progress. For this reason, each time the effect button 60 is pressed, the player can be delighted and interested in the type of card can be increased.

In particular, in the third embodiment, based on the fact that ART (CZ2) is given in the specific game section, a card different from the card A (card B) associated with ART (CZ2) is used in the plurality of sub-monitors 6. By displaying and combining (combining, mixing, combining) these displayed multiple cards to generate card A (card B), the multiple cards displayed on the sub monitor 6 are replaced with ART (CZ2). The corresponding card A (card B) is configured to be displayed on the sub monitor 6. Therefore, in reality, the card A was finally displayed on the sub monitor 6 based on the fact that the ART was given in the specific game section, but in the specific game section, it was as if it was an ART such as a special PT or a normal PT. The game gives the impression that multiple other benefits granted in a specific game section have been converted (promoted or evolved) into ART (special benefits) by pretending that multiple other different benefits have been granted. Can be given to a person. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of performing a highly tasteful production.

In the third embodiment, one type of card that is kept secret is disclosed for each operation of the effect button 60, but the configuration is not limited to this, and for example, it is kept secret for each execution of the game. Even if the configuration is such that one type of the card is disclosed, that is, the type of the card is a configuration in which all the types of the concealed cards are disclosed by executing the game for the number of concealed cards. Alternatively, the effect button 60 may be configured to disclose all card types with a single operation.

Further, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the card C and the card E are not associated with the privilege, but the card C and the card E are associated with the lower privilege having a lower game profit than the CZ2. It may be. For example, as a lower privilege than CZ2, the first special PT with a transition to a precursor mode in which 1000 production points can be granted, the second special PT with a transition to a precursor mode in which 500 production points can be granted, and production points. A first normal PT that does not involve a transition to a precursor mode that can grant 100, and a second normal PT that does not involve a transition to a precursor mode that can grant production points 50 are provided, and one card A and CZ2 are assigned to the ART. 1 card B, 1 card C for the 1st special PT, 1 card D for the 2nd special PT, 1 card E for the 1st normal PT, 1 card F for the 2nd normal PT The configuration should be associated.
In this configuration, when displaying CZ2 with a plurality of cards different from card B, the card A associated with ART, which is a higher privilege than CZ2, and the card associated with CZ2 itself. After displaying a plurality of cards (cards C to F) associated with benefits lower than CZ2 excluding B on the sub monitor 6, one card associated with CZ2 instead of these plurality of cards. Card B is displayed. That is, in the modified example, the card B is a card higher than the cards C to F and lower than the card A, and the grant of CZ2 (special privilege) is sub-monitored by a plurality of lower cards. After displaying in 6, all of these multiple lower cards are combined (combined, mixed, combined) to generate a higher card B, and this generated one higher card B is converted into a plurality of cards. Instead, it is configured to be displayed on the sub monitor 6.
In the modified example, regardless of the upper or lower level of the card, for example, when a privilege is given in a specific game section, any one of all other cards different from the card associated with the privilege. After displaying a plurality of cards on the sub monitor 6, the plurality of displayed cards may be combined with the card associated with the given privilege, and the combined card may be displayed on the sub monitor 6. .. In this way, regardless of the upper and lower ranks of the cards, it is possible to change a plurality of cards into one card and notify the player of the privilege given in the specific game section, which is surprising to the player. Can give sex.

Further, in the third embodiment, when suggesting a privilege by displaying a plurality of cards on the sub monitor 6 for one privilege determined in the specific game section, as shown in FIG. 25, the ART Grant one of two cards B, three cards C, five cards F, and grant CZ2 out of two cards C, three cards D, and five cards F. It is assumed that any one of the above and the special PT is displayed on the sub monitor 6 by any one of the two cards D, the three cards E, and the five cards F. In this case, if the effect button 60 is operated after the two cards B are displayed on the sub monitor 6, the two cards B are changed to one card A, and similarly, the three cards C are one. Since five cards F are changed to one card A for card A, if multiple cards of the same type are displayed on the sub monitor 6, the card type is upgraded (promoted) to a higher card. It is possible to perform such a production.

In the first and third embodiments, cards are associated with each of the right to shift to the ART mode, the right to shift to the CZ2 mode, and the granting of production points, based on the type and number of cards. It is configured to suggest or notify the type and number of benefits granted in the non-ART mode, but is not limited to this configuration, and the benefits granted in the ART mode include, for example, addition of 10 ART games and 50 times.
