It is provided with a stop button 5 that is pressed by the player when the reel 41 is stopped.

Further, above the display window 6, a navigation lamp 12 for navigating the operation order of the stop button 5 to the player is provided. Further, below the display window 6, an advantageous state lamp 13 for notifying that the gaming state is a favorable gaming state for the player is provided.

The upper part of the front door 1a is provided with, for example, a liquid crystal display, and a display 8 for displaying effects and information according to the game. On the left and right sides of the display 8, a speaker 9 for outputting sound and a lamp 11 having a light emitting means such as an LED for producing an effect by light are built-in.
Further, a medal payout outlet 7b for paying out medals is provided at the lower part of the front door 1a.

The upper part of the housing 1b includes a main control unit 10 that comprehensively controls the game, and a sub-control unit 20 that controls the production of the game under the control of the main control unit 10.
Further, a drum unit 4 for rotationally driving the reel 41 is provided in the central portion of the housing 1b. The drum unit 4 includes reels 41a, 41b, and reels 41c arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and these reels 41a to 41c are configured to be rotatable by driving a stepping motor (not shown). Further, on the outer peripheral surface of each reel 41a to 41c,
A plurality of symbols (identification information) are represented according to a predetermined arrangement, and in the stopped state of the reel 41,
For each reel 41a to 41c, a predetermined number (for example, three) of consecutive symbols can be visually recognized through the display window 6.
Further, a medal payout device 7 for paying out medals and a hopper 7a for storing medals are provided in the lower part of the housing 1b, and the medals paid out from the medal payout device 7 are used by the player via the medal payout outlet 7b. Will be paid out to.

Such a slot machine 1 is configured so that the following slot machine games can be executed by the main control unit 10 operating as a setting means, a determination means, a game state control means, and the like.

At the start of the game, the number of bets is set using medals (including credit medals).
The number of bets can be set by directly inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 2 or by pressing the bet button 2a.

In the method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 2 and setting the number of bets, the inserted medals are detected by the medal selector 2b provided on the back surface of the front door 1a, so that the bets corresponding to the number of inserted medals are bet. The number (however, the upper limit is the number of bets "3" corresponding to three medals) will be set.
The upper limit of the number of bets may be "1", "2", or "4" or more.

The bet button 2a is an example of an operation means capable of accepting the operation of the player related to the setting of the number of bets, and when the bet button 2a is pressed, a predetermined number (for example, for example) from the credit medals internally stored as data is used. The number of medals (3) is subtracted, and the subtracted amount is set as the number of bets.
The bet button is not limited to the bet button 2a, and a plurality of bet buttons having different numbers of bets may be provided. In addition, credit medals are added by inserting medals from the medal slot 2 or winning a prize. For example, up to 50 medals are credited (for example, credits (up to 50 medals).
Can be remembered).

In this way, the number of bets set by the direct insertion from the medal insertion slot 2 or the pressing operation of the bet button 2a is stored in a storage means such as a RAM provided in the main control unit 10.
Then, when the number of bets reaches a predetermined number (for example, three), the game can be started with the right to execute one game.

In the state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 3 is effective. In this valid state, when the start lever 3 is tilted, the game is started, the reels 41a to 41c on which a plurality of symbols are represented start to fluctuate, and a plurality of replay roles, small roles, bonus roles, etc. are started. The lottery result of this game from the winning roles (including the loss) of the reel 41
An "internal lottery process" that is determined in advance before the stoppage of is executed (winning combination determination means).
In the "internal lottery process", the winning combination of this game is determined by lottery from a plurality of winning combinations based on a predetermined winning probability.
In the present embodiment, the "internal lottery process" is completed before the reels 41a to 41c, which will be described later, reach steady rotation, but the reels 41a to 41c are completed before the rotation starts. May be good.

Each reel 41a to 41c is an example of variable display means, and on the peripheral surface of each reel 41a to 41c, as a plurality of (for example, 21) symbols serving as identification information, for example, "replay" and "
"Bell", "watermelon", "cherry", "red 7", "blue 7", etc. are represented respectively.
After gradually increasing the rotation speed from the stopped state, it reaches a steady rotation that rotates at a constant speed.
When such steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 5a to 5c provided corresponding to the reels 41a to 41c are in a state in which they can be pressed.

The stop buttons 5a to 5c are examples of operating means for stopping the reel 41.
For example, when the light emitting means such as the LED built in the stop buttons 5a to 5c is turned on, the push operation is possible, and when each stop button 5 is pushed in such a state, the push operation is performed.
Each reel 41a to 41c is stopped and controlled so as to stop at a combination of symbols allowed by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process.

In the stopped state, three consecutive symbols in the vertical direction represented on the reels 41a to 41c are stopped so as to face the outside of the machine from the display window 6 (sometimes called a stop display), and the stop display mode at this time is set. Whether or not there is a prize is determined based on this.
The winning judgment is made based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the predetermined winning line. For example, in the present embodiment, there are a total of five lines, that is, the upper / middle / lower line, the downward-sloping line, and the upward-sloping line. Judgment is made based on the combination of symbols stopped on any of the winning lines.
The number of winning lines (also referred to as valid lines) for determining winning is not limited to 5 lines, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the arrangement configuration of symbols, the type of symbols, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, and the like. Can be done.

The winning combination of the winning combination such as the small combination, the replay combination, the bonus combination, etc. is determined based on the combination of the symbols on the winning line.
Small roles include, for example, a bell role, a watermelon role, and a cherry role.

The bell role is provided with two bell roles having different combinations of corresponding symbols.
For example, the combination of the corresponding symbols can be set to "left reel 41a, middle reel 41b," on the winning line.
"Bell bell bell" and "bell bell" in the order of "right reel 41c" (same below), respectively.
A bell role called "replay" can be provided.
"Bell bell bell" is set as a "common bell" (bell role) in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped regardless of the operation order (called the push order) for the stop buttons 5a to 5c, and the "bell bell bell" is set. The "replay" is set as a "pushing order bell" (bell role) in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped by following a specific pushing order.
Further, there are six push orders (for example, "5a → 5b → 5c", "" in the "push order bell".
By operating the stop buttons 5a to 5c according to one push order (specific push order) among (5c → 5b → 5a, etc.), the corresponding symbol combination (“bell bell replay”)
There are six push order bells 1 to 6 that are displayed as stopped. Such push order bell 1 ~
6 is a stop button 5a to 5c depending on the other five push orders (push orders other than a specific push order).
When is operated, the corresponding symbol combination ("Bell Bell Replay") is not stopped and displayed, and other symbol combinations such as "Bell Replay Replay" (called "Bell Spilled Eye") are stopped. It will be displayed. Further, this "bell replay replay"("bell spilled eye" = predetermined symbol) functions as a transition role for shifting from RT0 to RT1, RT2 to RT1, and RT3 to RT1 by the stop display (FIGS. 4 and 5). reference).
When the "push order bell" is won, regardless of the stop button 5 to be operated second or third, if only the stop button 5 to be operated first follows a specific push order, the "push order bell" is set. It is also possible to control the reel stop so that the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped. Further, the push order bell is not limited to 6 ways, and 3 ways of push order bells 1 to 3 may be provided.

In addition, the watermelon role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "watermelon / watermelon / watermelon".

Further, the cherry role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "cherry / ANY / ANY", and three cherry roles are provided in which the positions of the "cherries" stopped on the left reel 41a are different from each other. For example, "upper cherry" where "cherry" stops at "upper",
There is a "lower cherry" where the "cherry" stops at the "lower" and a "middle cherry" where the "cherry" stops at the "middle".

The replay combination is provided with four replay combinations in which the corresponding combinations of symbols are different. For example, the combinations of the corresponding symbols are "replay, replay, replay", respectively.
Replay roles such as "replay replay bell", "replay bell bell", and "replay bell replay" can be provided.
"Replay / replay / replay" and "replay / replay / bell" are set as "common replays" (replay roles) in which the combination of corresponding symbols stops regardless of the pressing order.
Further, the "replay replay bell" (replay role) is called a "chance replay", and is set as a so-called "rare role" having a low winning probability in the internal lottery process together with the watermelon role and the cherry role.

"Replay bell bell" and "replay bell replay" are set as "push order replay" (replay role) in which the combination of corresponding symbols is stopped by following a specific push order.
The "push-order replay" is a combination of corresponding symbols ("replay-"" by operating the stop buttons 5a to 5c according to one of the six push-orders (specific push-order). There are six push-order replays 1 to 6 in which "bell bell" and "replay bell replay") are stopped and displayed. In such push order replays 1 to 6, when the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated by the other five push orders (push orders other than the specific push order), the corresponding symbol combination ("replay bell"). -Bell "," Replay Bell Replay ") is not stopped and displayed, and" Replay Replay Replay "is stopped and displayed.
In addition, "Replay Bell Bell", which is a "push order replay", is RT1 by the stop display.
It functions as a promotion replay A that shifts from to RT2, and "Replay Bell Replay" is
It functions as a promotion replay B that shifts from RT2 to RT3 by the stop display (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

Further, the bonus combination is provided with two bonus combinations having different combinations of corresponding symbols. For example, it is possible to provide a bonus combination in which the corresponding combinations of symbols are "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (Red 7 bonus) and "Blue 7, Blue 7, Blue 7" (Blue 7 bonus), respectively. ..

The slot machine 1 is provided with a setting probability changing function as a setting means capable of manually setting and changing the winning probability of a specific winning combination among the winning combinations drawn in the "internal lottery process". For example, the slot machine 1 is provided with a specific winning combination. The winning probability of the winning combination is from low to high winning probability 6
By dividing into stages and making each stage correspond to the set values 1 to 6, the winning probability of a specific winning combination can be changed to the winning probability according to each set value 1 to 6. ..
In this case, the setting value 6 (second setting value) is higher than the setting value 1 (first setting value) is set.
The probability of winning a specific winning combination is set higher when is set, and as a result,
The slot machine game is controlled to proceed more advantageously when the set value 6 (second set value) is set than when the set value 1 (first set value) is set.

For example, among the bonus roles, "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (Red 7 bonus: 1st specified winning combination)
Does not correspond to the above-mentioned specific winning combination, and is set as a "setting difference no bonus" in which the winning probabilities are the same for each of the set values 1 to 6.
On the other hand, "Blue 7, Blue 7, Blue 7" (Blue 7 bonus: 2nd specific winning combination) corresponds to the above specific winning combination, and can be changed to the winning probability according to the set values 1 to 6. , It is set as "setting difference bonus", and it is "blue 7 bonus" that the setting value 6 (second setting value) is set rather than the setting value 1 (first setting value) is set. The probability of winning is set high.
Such a bonus combination is a winning combination that can carry over the winning right as long as the combination of the corresponding symbols is not stopped in the winning game and the games after the winning game. Therefore, the established state of the bonus winning is maintained until the bonus combination is won by stopping the combination of the corresponding symbols (hereinafter, this game state is referred to as the "bonus internal winning state" or RT4 (FIG. 4). 5).

Based on the combination of symbols as described above, the winning of the small combination, the replay combination, and the bonus combination is determined (determination means), and as a result of the determination, the combination of the symbols is the combination of the symbols corresponding to each of the above. Occasionally, a prize is established and a game value is given according to the establishment of each prize.
For example, the small winning combination is determined by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small winning combination such as the bell role, the cherry role, and the watermelon role, and the medal payout device 7 is driven and controlled, so that the hopper 7a in which the medals are stored is controlled. A predetermined number of medals are paid out from the medal payout outlet 7b.
Specifically, in the role of bell, eight medals are paid out by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the "common bell".
In addition, if the "push order bell" is won, eight medals will be paid out when the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped by operating the stop buttons 5a to 5c in a specific push order (one push order). However, when the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in a push order other than a specific push order (five push orders), two medals can be paid out.
The bell role may be set to a winning probability such that the number of medals per game increases by 1.4 during ART.
In addition, five medals will be paid out by the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the "watermelon role"("watermelon, watermelon, watermelon").
Also, in the "cherry role", depending on the position of the "cherry" that stops on the left reel 41a,
When the number of medals to be paid out is different and "cherry" stops at "upper" or "lower"("uppercherry" or "lower cherry"), two medals are paid out and "cherry" is "middle". When stopped at ("Middle Cherry"), one medal will be paid out.

In addition, the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the "replay role" (for example, "replay / replay / replay") determines the replay winning, and the medal is not inserted in the next game, that is, the medal is played. You will be able to play without spending time.

In addition, the stop display of the combination of bonus symbols corresponding to the "bonus combination" shifts to a bonus game that is advantageous to the player who wins a predetermined small combination with a high probability. For example, by displaying the stop of "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7", the game shifts to "Red 7 bonus game" (first specific game state), and "Blue 7 ..."
By the stop display of "Blue 7 / Blue 7", it shifts to "Blue 7 bonus game" (second specific game state). These bonus games end when the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number (for example, 200 medals).
In addition, multiple types of "bonus role" can be provided according to the difference in the combination of corresponding symbols, the difference in the number of medals paid out, etc. (Big bonus "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (balls) Large), regular bonus "Red 7, Blue 7, Red 7" (small balls), etc.).

In addition, the winning probability of each winning combination excluding the "bonus role" is "replay role">"bellrole">"upper / lower cherry role">"watermelonrole">"chancereplay" in each setting value 1 to 6. "> It is assumed that the relationship between the" middle cherry role ", that is, the" replay role "is the easiest to win, and the" middle cherry role "is the most difficult to win.
In addition, "chance replay role", "watermelon role", "upper / lower cherry role", and "middle cherry role" may be referred to as "rare role" in the sense that it is difficult to win.

Further, it is assumed that the symbols of the bell combination and the replay combination are arranged within 5 consecutive frames in all reels 41a to 41c, and can be always stopped on the winning line by the pull-in stop control of 4 frames. On the other hand, the symbols other than the bell role and the replay role are not necessarily arranged within 5 consecutive frames, so even if the pull-in stop control of 4 frames is performed, the winning combination cannot be stopped on the winning line and the winning combination is missed. In some cases. That is, in order to stop these symbols on the winning line, the stop buttons 5a to 5c are pressed to aim at the desired symbols.
It is necessary to perform so-called "pressing".

In the slot machine game in which such a series of operations is one game (one game), as shown in FIG. 3, the main control unit 10 has an operating means such as a bet button 2a, a start lever 3, and a stop button 5. And the reel 41 based on the input information from the input means such as the medal selector 2b.

In addition to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a gaming state as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, and a characteristic game property based on this gaming state.
Each game state is controlled (hereinafter, also referred to as transition) to each game state by the main control unit 10 operating as the game state control means.
First, the RT state (hereinafter, also simply referred to as RT) possessed by the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

(RT)
The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has RT0 to 4 corresponding to the winning probability of the "replay combination" in the internal lottery process.

In the internal lottery process, RT0 is set to win the replay combination with a probability of, for example, 1 / 7.3, and is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than RT3 and 4 in the winning probability of the replay combination.
The rush to RT0 is triggered by the end of the bonus, and then shifts to RT0.
Further, the end of RT0 is triggered by the fact that the "bell spilled eye" (predetermined symbol) is stopped without following a specific pushing order at the time of winning the "pushing order bell" in RT0, and then R.
Shift from T0 to RT1.
Further, the end of RT0 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination in the internal lottery process performed in RT0, and then shifts from RT0 to RT4.
In this way, RT0 is not a finite gaming state with a predetermined gaming period, but an infinite gaming state that does not shift to another gaming state unless the "bell spilled eye" stops or a bonus is won. (Infinite RT).

In the internal lottery process, RT1 is set to win the replay combination with a probability of, for example, 1 / 7.3, and is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than RT3 and 4 in the winning probability of the replay combination.
To enter RT1, turn on the power or change the set value by operating a predetermined initialization switch, etc. (
When the same set value is set again (including resetting the set value)), then RT
Move to 1.
In addition, the entry into RT1 was triggered by the fact that the "bell spilled eyes" stopped without following a specific push order at the time of winning the "push order bell" in RT0, RT2, RT3, and then RT0, RT2. , RT3 shifts to RT1.
Further, the end of RT1 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "promotion replay A" in RT1, and then shifts from RT1 to RT2.
Further, the end of RT1 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination in the internal lottery process performed in RT1, and then the transition from RT1 to RT4 occurs.
In this way, RT1 is not a finite game state in which the game period is predetermined, and does not shift to another game state unless the combination of symbols corresponding to "promotion replay A" is stopped or a bonus is won. It is in an infinite gaming state (infinite RT).

In the internal lottery process, RT2 is set to win the replay combination with a probability of, for example, 1 / 7.3, and is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than RT3 and 4 in the winning probability of the replay combination.
The rush to RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "promotion replay A" in RT1, and then shifts from RT1 to RT2.
Further, the end of RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "promotion replay B" in RT2, and then shifts from RT2 to RT3.
Further, the end of RT2 is triggered by the fact that the "bell spilled eye" is stopped without following a specific pushing order at the time of winning the "pushing order bell" in RT2, and then from RT2 to RT.
Move to 1.
Further, the end of RT2 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination in the internal lottery process performed in RT2, and then shifts from RT2 to RT4.
In this way, RT2 is not a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but unless the combination of symbols corresponding to the "promotion replay B" is stopped, the "bell spilled eye" is stopped, or
Unless you win the bonus, you are in an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to another gaming state.

The RT3 is set to win the replay combination in the internal lottery process with a probability of, for example, 1 / 1.5, and is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the RT0 to 2 and RT4 in the winning probability of the replay combination.
The rush to RT3 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "promotion replay B" in RT2, and then shifts from RT2 to RT3.
In addition, the end of RT3 is triggered by the fact that the "bell spilled eye" stops without following a specific push order when the "push order bell" is won in RT3, and then RT3 to RT.
Move to 1.
Further, the end of RT3 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination in the internal lottery process performed in RT3, and then shifts from RT3 to RT4.
As described above, the RT3 is not in a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but unless the combination of symbols corresponding to the "promotion replay B" is stopped, the "bell spilled eye" is stopped, or
Unless you win the bonus, you are in an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to another gaming state.

RT4 is in the bonus internal winning state, and in the internal lottery process, for example, 1
It is set to win the replay role with a probability of /6.0, and in the winning probability of the replay role, it is a game state that is more advantageous to the player than RT0 to 2, and is a game state that is more disadvantageous to the player than RT3. be.
The entry into RT4 is triggered by winning a bonus combination in the internal lottery process during RT0-3, and then shifts from RT0-3 to RT4.
In addition, the end of RT4 is triggered by the stoppage of the combination of bonus symbols, and then R.
Shift from T4 to bonus.
In this way, RT4 is not a finite gaming state in which the bonus internal winning state is set, and is not a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but an infinite gaming state (infinite) that does not shift to another gaming state unless the combination of bonus symbols is stopped. RT).

As described above, in the present embodiment, a plurality of RT states having different advantages are provided, and RT0 to RT3, which is relatively disadvantageous to the player, is shifted to RT3, which is relatively advantageous to the player, and a bonus is won in RT0 to 3. , Has a game property of shifting to a bonus gaming state via RT4.
In such a game, it is preferable for the player to shift (promote) from RT1 to RT2, 3, and it is most preferable for the player not to shift (fall) from RT2, 3 to RT1.

Therefore, the combination of the symbols corresponding to "promotion replay A", "promotion replay B", and "bell spilled eye" is stopped due to the difference in the pressing order with respect to the stop button 5, so RT.
In 1 and 2, the combination of symbols corresponding to the promotion replay is stopped, or RT
In 2 and 3, it is preferable for the player to operate the stop button 5 so that the “bell spilled eyes” do not stop.
However, it is apparently impossible to determine whether or not these promotion replays have been won, and the combination of symbols corresponding to these promotion replays, etc. is stopped.
Alternatively, the stop button 5 cannot be operated so that the "bell spilled eye" does not stop.

Therefore, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the promotion replay is stopped by notifying (navigating) the pressing order for the stop button 5 and the symbol that serves as a guideline for pressing the stop button 5 through a notification means such as a display 8. Alternatively, the player is given a privilege of assisting the "bell spilled eye" so that it does not stop, and the operation of the stop button 5 is supported.

Specifically, as an example of notification of the push order (information about operation), for example, when the promotion replay A is won during RT1, the promotion replay A is performed via the display 8, the speaker 9, the navigation lamp 12, and the like. Notifies the push order corresponding to. Specifically, as the push order "5a → 5b → 5c" of the stop buttons 5a to 5c corresponding to the promotion replay A, for example, "left → middle → right" is displayed on the display 8 from the speaker 9. Each sound is output in the order of "left", "middle", and "right".
Further, at this time, the navigation lamps 12 are sequentially turned on in the corresponding order "12a → 12b → 12c".
That is, the stop button 5 is passed through the notification means such as the display 8, the speaker 9, and the navigation lamp 12.
Navigate the order of operations for.
When the player operates the stop button 5 according to such navigation, the promotion replay A is stopped and the transition from RT1 to RT2 is realized.
In this way, the state of notifying the operation order for the stop button 5 is AT (assist time).
This state is usually continued for a predetermined number of games. Also, such an AT
The game state in which RT3 is combined with is called ART (assist replay time).
Then, such a transition to ART is realized by winning the transition lottery process in the stage 2 and the chance zone described later.
Hereinafter, ART will be described.

(ART)
ART, like the bonus game, is in a favorable and advantageous state for the player.
Specifically, during AT, when the "push order bell" is won, the corresponding push order is notified, and by operating the stop button 5 according to this notification, eight medals are awarded. .. Further, in RTs 2 and 3 during AT, when the "pushing order bell" is won, the player performs an operation according to such a notification to the stop button 5, so that "bell spilled eyes" are generated. Since it does not stop, the transition (fall) to RT1 is avoided.
Further, in RT1 during AT, when the promotion replay A is won, the push order is notified so that the combination of the symbols corresponding to the promotion replay A is stopped. When the player performs an operation according to this notification to the stop button 5, the transition (promotion) from RT1 to RT2 is realized.
Further, in RT2 during AT, when the promotion replay B is won, the push order is notified so that the combination of the symbols corresponding to the promotion replay B is stopped. When the player performs an operation according to this notification to the stop button 5, the transition (promotion) from RT2 to RT3 is realized.
Also, in RT3 during AT, in addition to the privilege that the replay is won with a high probability (1 / 1.6), the privilege corresponding to the "push order bell" is notified and a medal is given. With the addition of this, it will be an ART state that is advantageous for players who can expect the most increase in medals.

Such an AT is managed by the number of games in the main control unit 10. For example, 50 games (AT1 described later) are set as initial values.
In addition, this number of games is the "chance replay role" in the "internal lottery process" during AT.
It is increased (also called an addition) based on the winning of "rare role" such as, and is managed as an updatable value.
The value to be updated and managed is not limited to the number of games, and may be, for example, the number of small wins such as bells, the number of medals won, the number of medals paid out, the number of medals difference (difference between inserted medals and paid out medals), and the like.
Further, the AT of the present embodiment has the following features.

As shown in FIG. 7, the AT is divided into AT1 and AT2, and shifts from the stage 2 and the chance zone described later to AT1 (see “e” in FIG. 7).
Further, in AT1 and AT2, when the "push order bell" and the "push order replay" are won, the "push order" of the stop button 5 corresponding to each is notified as described above.

Further, in AT1 and AT2, it is assumed that the game shifts to the normal stage by executing (also referred to as digestion) a specified number of games updated and managed by the main control unit 10 (“f” in FIG. 7), but during these ATs. In, the current number of ART games is added (increased / updated) based on the winning of the "rare role" such as the "chance replay role".
Specifically, in AT1, the "additional game number lottery process" for determining the number of added games by lottery is executed. This "additional game number lottery process" is executed in the main control unit 10 when a predetermined winning combination is won in the "internal lottery process".
Examples of the winning combination in this case include "upper / lower cherry role", "watermelon role", "chance replay role", and "middle cherry role". Execute "game number lottery process".
The ease of acquiring the number of additional games and the large number of additional games when acquired have a relationship of "middle-tier cherry role">"chance replay role">"watermelonrole">"upper / lower-tier cherry role". It shall be. For example, the person who won the "Middle Cherry" rather than the "Watermelon"
The number of additional games is set so that it is easy to acquire, and moreover, "the role of middle cherry" rather than "the role of watermelon"
It is assumed that the person who wins the game has a large number of additional games when he / she wins.
Further, in addition to or instead of the additional lottery for the number of games, AT1 (AT with an initial value of 50 games) is continuously changed (continued) after the number of games for AT1 is exhausted.
It is also possible to execute a set consecutive chan lottery process in which the success or failure of 1 consecutive chan (set consecutive chan) is multiplied.

Further, AT2 is set as a "specialized zone" specialized for addition, in which the number of additional games in the "additional game number lottery process" is easier to acquire than AT1 and the number of additional games when acquired increases. ..
In this "AT2", instead of the "lottery process for the number of additional games", the "lottery process for acquiring a large number of additional games" is executed, in which a large number of additional games are acquired.
Specifically, the "lottery process for acquiring a large number of additional games" is executed in the main control unit 10 when a predetermined winning combination is won in the "internal lottery process".
In this case, the winning roles are "bell role" (including push order bell, the same applies hereinafter), "upper / lower cherry role", "watermelon role", "chance replay role", "middle cherry role", and "middle cherry role".
It can be all winning combinations such as "replay combination" (including push order or common replay, the same shall apply hereinafter), and when these are won, the "large number of additional games acquisition lottery process" is executed.
The ease of acquiring the number of additional games and the large number of additional games when acquired are as follows: "Middle-tier cherry role">"Chancereplay">"Watermelonrole">"Upper / lower-tier cherry role">"Bellrole"> It shall have a relationship of "replay role". For example, the number of additional games is set to be easier to obtain for those who win the "Middle Cherry Role" than for the "Watermelon Role", and the winners for the "Middle Cherry Role" rather than the "Watermelon Role". It is assumed that a large number of additional games are set.

Further, the winning probability of the "large number of additional games acquisition lottery process" is set higher than the winning probability of the "additional game number lottery process" executed during "AT1". That is, "AT1"
When the same winning combination is won in "AT2" and "AT2", the winning probability of "AT2" is set higher than that of "AT1".
For example, when "chance replay" is a winning combination, "AT2" has a higher winning probability than "AT1", and moreover, a large number of additional games are set when winning.
As described above, the number of additional games acquired in the "lottery process for acquiring a large number of additional games" is preferably added to the number of games of AT1, but may be reflected in the number of games of AT2.
In addition to or in place of the large-scale acquisition lottery for the number of additional games, A
After the number of games of T2 is exhausted, it is also possible to execute the set consecutive chan lottery process in which the success or failure of the set consecutive chan of AT2 that AT2 (for example, the AT of the initial value 50 games) continues (continues).

Further, "AT2" is transferred by winning in a predetermined transition lottery process executed by AT1 ("g" in FIG. 7).
Further, it is assumed that "AT2" is set to end by executing (digesting) a specified number of games and then shifting to AR1 ("h" in FIG. 7), but executing a specified number of games. After that, the transition from "AT2" to "AT1" can be decided by lottery.
This lottery process is called "fall lottery process", and in the "internal lottery process", when a predetermined winning combination such as "bell role" is won, the main control unit 10 executes the "fall lottery process". When you win, you move from "AT2" to "AT1", and when you don't win, "AT"
Let 2 ”stay as it is.
Further, after executing the specified number of games, a continuous lottery process may be executed in which the success or failure of the continuation of "AT2" is determined by lottery for each game.

As described above, the slot machine 1 is configured to be able to control a plurality of RT states, bonus games, and AT states by operating the main control unit 10 as the game state control means.
Further, the main control unit 10 transitions to a plurality of types of gaming states as shown in FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is roughly divided into the above-mentioned bonus game and the gaming state other than during the bonus game (referred to as non-bonus), and the non-bonus is classified into a normal stage and a chance zone. , AT and a plurality of gaming states.
Of these game states, the normal stage, chance zone, and AT are RT0-4 described above.
May overlap with.
Further, the normal stage, the chance zone, and the AT include a bonus combination as a lottery target in the internal lottery process, and when the bonus combination is won, the stage shifts to RT4.
Further, the normal stage has two gaming states of stage 1 and stage 2, the chance zone has two gaming states of CZ1 and CZ2, and the AT has two gaming states of AT1 and AT2 as described above. is doing.
Further, these gaming states are divided into the following normal sections and advantageous sections.

For example, the bonus (bonus with setting difference) and stage 1 are divided into normal sections, and the bonus (bonus without setting difference), stage 2, chance zone, and AT are divided into advantageous sections.
In the advantageous section, the lottery process related to the transition to ART (referred to as the ART transition lottery process) is performed, and in the normal section, the ART transition lottery process is not performed.

In addition, the advantageous section is a section that can be continuously stayed until it shifts from the normal section to the normal section again, and during the stay in the advantageous section, the number of games executed is counted.
The advantageous section ends when at least one of the following conditions (a) to (c) is satisfied (end condition).
(A) The push order bell has been notified at least once (b) The number of games in the advantageous section has reached the maximum number of games (hereinafter, also referred to as a specific number or limiter) of 1500 games (c) Advantageous The number of medals won in the section has reached the maximum number of medals won, 2400. If the conditions (b) and (c) are met, it is not possible to stay in the advantageous section.
Erase the number of games played and the number of medals won in the advantageous section (initialize to 0 times, 0 cards). In addition, when the "bell spilled eye" is stopped, the transition to RT1 is performed.
Further, the end condition of the advantageous section is an example, and other conditions may be provided. For example, it may be included that the combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined bonus combination is stopped and displayed. again,
The maximum number of games and the maximum number of medals won in the advantageous section are not limited to 1500 games and 2400 medals, but 1500 games or less and 2400 medals or less are preferable.
Further, the above termination conditions may not include one or two of the conditions (a) to (c).

Further, during the advantageous section, the advantageous state lamp 13 is turned on.
For example, during the bonus (no setting difference bonus), stage 2, chance zone, and AT, the advantageous state lamp 13 is lit, and in the bonus (setting difference bonus) and stage 1, the advantageous state lamp 13 is not lit. Will be.
Exceptionally, when the bonus won during the advantageous section is the set difference bonus, the advantageous state lamp 13 remains lit even during the set difference bonus.
As described above, the lighting / non-lighting of the advantageous state lamp 13 is different depending on the type of the bonus won in the advantageous section and the advantageous section.

<Normal stage>
The "normal stage" has two gaming states, "stage 1" and "stage 2".
"Stage 1" belongs to a normal section and "Stage 2" belongs to an advantageous section.
Each stage is configured to be visually identifiable. For example, in the background image displayed on the display 8, "stage 1" is a "day background" and "stage 2" is a "night background".
Such a background image is preferably controlled by the sub control unit 20 and has a paired relationship with the stage controlled by the main control unit 10, but does not necessarily have to have a paired relationship.

Further, in the "stage 1", the main control unit 10 executes a "stage 2 staying game number lottery process" for determining the number of staying games in the "stage 2".
In this process, the number of staying games in "Stage 2" is determined by lottery according to the type of "rare role" won in the "internal lottery process" executed during "stage 1."
Specifically, in the "stage 2 stay game number lottery process", "chance replay role", "
"Watermelon role", "upper / lower cherry role", and "middle cherry role" are targeted for lottery, and when these are won in the "internal lottery process" of stage 1, the "stage 2 stay game number lottery" shown in FIG. Based on the "table", the number of staying games in "stage 2" is determined by lottery according to the type of winning combination in the "internal lottery process". It is preferable that this process is executed in the same game in which the "internal lottery process" is performed.
The lottery in this case is 1 to 2 acquired at the time of executing the "stage 2 staying game number lottery process".
The "random value" whose update range is 55 (the maximum value "255" is the value of the denominator) and the value corresponding to the winning combination in the "stage 2 staying game number lottery table" (values in the table are molecular values). It is performed by comparing with the "hit value" which is the hit range and extracting the number of staying games of the "hit value" corresponding to the "random value".

For example, when the winning combination is "watermelon role", the number of games of any one of "5 games", "10 games", "20 games", and "50 games" is extracted as the number of staying games. The "numerator values" corresponding to the number of staying games are "200" in order from the left in the table of FIG.
, "5", "30", "20", and the corresponding "hit value" is "1 ~" respectively.
200 ”,“ 201-205 ”,“ 206-235 ”,“ 236-255 ”. When the "random value" acquired at the time of executing the "stage 2 staying game number lottery process" is, for example, "216", this "random value" belongs to the "winning value" of "206 to 235", so that it is "20".
"Game" will be extracted as the number of corresponding stay games.
Then, from the next game after executing the "stage 2 staying game number lottery process", "stage 1"
("A" in FIG. 7), the stay of "Stage 2" is allowed over the number of extracted stay games.
In addition, the explanation including the relationship between the "random value" and the "numerator value" in the above "stage 2 staying game number lottery process" includes various types including "internal lottery process", "CZ / ART transition lottery process" and the like. It is also used for "lottery processing".

In addition, when the "role related to the notification of the push order" such as "push order bell" and "push order replay" is won during the period of the number of staying games ("stage 2"), the corresponding stop is performed at least once. The "pressing order" of the button 5 shall be notified, and the period of the number of staying games ("stage 2").
In, when the "role related to the notification of the push order" is not won, the "role related to the notification of the push order"
It is also possible to extend the number of staying games until you win the game and notify the "push order".
Further, in "Stage 2", the "Stage 2 staying game number lottery table" shown in FIG.
Or change its value, depending on the type of winning combination in the "internal lottery process", stage 2
It is also possible to execute a lottery process to extend the number of staying games. In this case, the total number of staying games will be extended by adding the number of winning staying games to the current number of staying games.

"Stage 2" continues at least for the number of staying games determined in the above-mentioned "stage 2 staying game number lottery process".
During this stay period, the main control unit 10 executes the "CZ / ART transition lottery process" in which the transition to the chance zone (CZ) and ART is applied.
In this process, the transition to CZ and ART is determined by lottery according to the type of "rare combination" won in the "internal lottery process" executed during stage 2.
Specifically, in the "CZ / ART transition lottery process", "chance replay role", "watermelon role", "upper / lower cherry role", and "middle cherry role" are targeted for lottery, and stage 2
When these are won in the "internal lottery process" of, based on the "CZ / ART transition lottery table" shown in FIG. 9, according to the type of winning combination in the "internal lottery process", stages 2 to C
The transition to Z (“c” in FIG. 7) and ART (“e” in FIG. 7) is determined by lottery.

For example, when the winning combination is a "chance replay combination", as shown in FIG. 9, "200 /
By winning "No Transition" with a probability of "255", you will stay in "Stage 2" and "50 /
By winning "CZ1" with a probability of "255", the transition from "Stage 2" to "CZ1" is realized. Similarly, by winning "CZ2" with a probability of "50/255", "
The transition from "Stage 2" to "CZ2" has been realized, and there is a probability of "50/255" that "ART".
By winning the prize, the transition from "Stage 2" to "ART" will be realized.
In addition, due to the digestion of the stay game of stage 2 (including the end of the extension period), "Stage 2"
To "Stage 1"("d" in FIG. 7).

In addition, if you win the chance zone or ART in "Stage 2", you will clear the number of games staying in the advantageous section, but you still have the right to move to the chance zone and the right to move to ART. The advantageous section will continue. In addition, when a player wins a chance zone or ART, the winning content is notified after a predetermined number of games have elapsed (for example, after 5 games have elapsed), and the game shifts to the winning game state.

<Chance zone>
The "chance zone" has two gaming states, "CZ1" and "CZ2".
Both "CZ1" and "CZ2" belong to the advantageous section.
"CZ1" and "CZ2" are set as finite periods managed by the number of games, for example, "CZ1" is 3 games, "CZ1" is 7 games, and so on.
In "CZ1" and "CZ2", a lottery process related to the transition to ART is performed.
For example, in "CZ1", an "ART transition lottery process" in which an ART is won with a uniform probability of 10% is executed for each of 1 to 3 games, and the transition to AT1 is confirmed by winning (FIG. 7 "e").
).
On the other hand, in "CZ2", a "subtraction point number lottery process" is performed in which "subtraction points" are determined by lottery based on the winning combination of the "internal lottery process" executed between 1 to 7 games.
The "subtraction points" determined by this "subtraction point number lottery process" are subtracted from the points (for example, 10 points) given in advance, and when the points reach a predetermined number (for example, "0"), AT1 The transition to is confirmed (Fig. 7 "e").
As described above, in "CZ1" and "CZ2", lottery processing related to the transition to ART is performed, respectively, but "CZ2" is set to have a higher probability of winning ART than "CZ1".

Further, in "CZ1" and "CZ2", a friendly character (friendly character) and an enemy character (enemy character) fight each other via a notification means such as a display 8 in each period.
It is preferable to execute "battle production". In this production, for example, in the case of "CZ1", 4
In the case of the game eye, "CZ2", at the timing when each chance zone such as the 8th game ends, the ART winning is identified by directing the ally character to win the enemy character.
By performing the effect that the ally character loses to the enemy character, the ART non-winning will be identified.
It is preferable that the "battle effect" performed during "CZ2" is more intense and flashy (super battle effect) than the "battle effect" performed during "CZ1".
In such a "chance zone", by using the "cards" shown below, it is possible to further enhance the "battle production" that is unfolded in each "chance zone".

<Card>
There are three types of cards, "HP (hit point) card", "special card", and "setting suggestion card", which can be acquired (also referred to as being given) in the above-mentioned "normal stage".
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that such a card can be held up to two cards regardless of the type, but it can also be set so that one or three or more cards can be held. Further, if a plurality of cards can be held, it may be set so that the same type of card cannot be held.
Such a card can be obtained by the following two methods.

The first method is to win the "internal lottery process" in the normal stage.
It is a lottery process based on the "winning combination", and is acquired by executing the "card acquisition lottery process 1".
In this "card acquisition lottery process 1", in the "internal lottery process" during the normal stage, "bell role", "chance replay role", "watermelon role", "upper / lower cherry role",
And, when the "winning role" such as the "middle-tier cherry role" is won (the predetermined condition is satisfied), the success or failure of the card acquisition and the success or failure of the card acquisition based on the "card acquisition lottery table 1" shown in FIG. The type of card to be acquired is determined by lottery.
For example, when the winning combination is a "chance replay combination", as shown in FIG. 10, "234"
If you win "No Acquisition" with a probability of "/ 255", you will not get any kind of card, and if you win an "HP Card" with a probability of "10/255", you will get one "HP Card". Will be acquired. Similarly, if you win the "Special Card" with a probability of "10/255", you will get one "Special Card", and if you win the "Setting Suggestion Card" with a probability of "1/255", you will get 1 You will get a number of "setting suggestion cards".

The second method is to obtain the card by performing the "card acquisition lottery process 2" every predetermined number of game executions in the normal stage.
In this "card acquisition lottery process 2", the number of games is, for example, 100 in the normal stage.
It is executed every time the number of games increases, and in this process, the "card acquisition lottery table 2" shown in FIG. 11 is executed.
], The success or failure of card acquisition and the type of card to be acquired will be determined by lottery.
For example, as shown in FIG. 11, by winning "no acquisition" with a probability of "210/255", no card of any kind is acquired, and a "HP card" with a probability of "20/255".
By winning the prize, one "HP card" will be acquired. Similarly, if you win the "Special Card" with a probability of "20/255", you will get one "Special Card" and "5/2".
By winning the "setting suggestion card" with a probability of "55", one "setting suggestion card" is acquired.
In either method, the acquired card is displayed, for example, on the display 8 so that the player can identify the number and type of possession.
In both methods, the "setting suggestion card" is set to be difficult to win, but it is also possible to set other cards other than the "setting suggestion card" to be difficult to win.
Further, the winning rates of the two or three types of cards may be the same.
Further, such management (memory) of the number and types of cards, and the above-mentioned "card acquisition lottery process" are realized by the sub-control unit 20 operating as a storage means, a granting means, and the like.

The "card acquisition lottery process 1" and the "card acquisition lottery process 2" may be executed at the same game. For example, in the "internal lottery process", "winning roles" such as "bell role", "chance replay role", "watermelon role", "upper / lower cherry role", and "middle cherry role" are won, and "winning role" is won. If the game that executes "card acquisition lottery process 1" and this game corresponds to the 100th game after the previous execution of "card acquisition lottery process 2", "card acquisition lottery process 1" and "card acquisition lottery process 1" 2 ”will be executed in the same game.
In such a case, in the present embodiment, the execution of the "card acquisition lottery process 1" is prioritized.
Further, in the same game, both "card acquisition lottery process 1" and "card acquisition lottery process 2" may be executed. In this case, the result of the "card acquisition lottery process" in which the card is acquired is reflected rather than the "card acquisition lottery process" in which the card is not acquired. In addition, when cards are acquired in both "card acquisition lottery processes" and the number of cards in hand is 0, two cards can be acquired. Furthermore, when cards are acquired in both "card acquisition lottery processes" and there is only one card in hand, the priority is set in advance for the card type, and the card with the higher priority is acquired. You may be able to do it.
In addition, when the game related to the execution timing of "card acquisition lottery process 1" or "card acquisition lottery process 2" arrives when there are two cards in hand, neither "card acquisition lottery process" is executed. You can also.

Among such cards, the "setting suggestion card" is a "weak card", a "medium card", etc.
It is divided into multiple ranks such as "strong card" and "strongest card".
The order of the notation of "strongest card", "strong card", "medium card", and "weak card" indicates that the rank of the card is high, that is, the "strongest card" has the highest rank.
When you get a "setting suggestion card", the lowest rank "weak card" is given first.
As shown in FIG. 12, the rank of the card is divided by the number of points.
When a "setting suggestion card" is acquired, it is positioned in the rank of "weak card", and "0" points are given at that time.
Also, when the number of points is "3000-4999", it is positioned in the rank of "medium card", and when the number of points is "5000-4999", it is positioned in the rank of "strong card", and the number of points is "10,000 or more". When "", it is positioned in the rank of "strongest card".
In other words, "3000", "5000", and "10000" are the change points of the rank, and each time the change point is reached, the rank of the card is "weak card", "medium card", "strong card", "strongest card". Rank up in the order of.
When you get the "setting suggestion card", you should not first get "0" points, but "1".
You may give any number of points from "~ 2999". In this case, for example, the higher setting value (setting value 4 to 6) is lower than the lower setting value (setting value 1 to 3) according to the currently set setting value.
) May be given, and the number of points given may be changed.
Further, when a "setting suggestion card" is acquired, a card of another rank such as a "medium card" may be given instead of the "weak card" of the lowest rank first. In this case, for example, the higher setting value (setting value 4 to 6) is lower than the lower setting value (setting value 1) according to the currently set setting value.
You may change the rank of the card to be given, such as by giving a card with a higher rank than 3).
Then, the number of points related to such rank-up increases, for example, according to the progress of the game and the winning combination during the bonus game.

Specifically, 1 for each game executed during non-bonus games other than during bonus games.
Increase points (establishment of specific conditions).
Furthermore, if you are in a non-bonus chance zone or AT, for example, you can increase 2 points for each game played during the chance zone, and 3 for each game played during AT.
It is also possible to increase the number of points to be increased by increasing the points (satisfaction of specific conditions).

Furthermore, the number of points related to rank-up can be increased according to the winning combination during the bonus game.
For example, in the "internal lottery process" during the bonus game, the number of points to be given when winning the "bell", "watermelon role", "upper / lower cherry role", "middle cherry role", etc. by lottery Execute the "lottery process for the number of points granted" to be determined.
"Lottery processing for the number of points granted" is a "bonus with no setting difference" and a "bonus with setting difference".
Each is executed independently.
In the "setting difference no bonus", the lottery process referring to the "number of points granted lottery table 1" in FIG. 13 (a) is executed, and in the "setting difference bonus", the "grant points" in FIG. 13 (b) are executed. The lottery process referring to the "number lottery table 2" is executed.
For example, if the winning combination is "watermelon role" and the "setting difference no bonus" is in progress, FIG. 13
As shown in (a), "10 points" are given with a probability of "200/255", and "30"
"30 points" will be awarded with a probability of "/ 255". Similarly, "100 points" are given with a probability of "15/255", and "500 points" are given with a probability of "10/255".
In addition, when the winning combination is the same "watermelon role", if it is in the "setting difference bonus", Fig. 1
As shown in 3 (b), "10 points" are given with a probability of "100/255", and "8"
"30 points" will be awarded with a probability of "0/255". Similarly, "100 points" are given with a probability of "55/255", and "500 points" are given with a probability of "20/255".
That is, the number of points related to rank-up can be obtained more in the "setting difference bonus" (second specific game state) than in the "setting difference no bonus" (first specific game state). There is. As a result, it is easier to reach the change point when the game state is controlled by the "setting difference bonus" (second specific game state) than when the game state is controlled by the "setting difference no bonus" (first specific game state). There is a high possibility that a rank-up will be established.

In this way, the "setting difference bonus" (second specific game state) is the "setting difference no bonus".
The reason why the number of points is set to be higher than that of (1st specific game state) is as follows.
In the "setting difference no bonus", a lottery process related to the transition to ART (ART transition lottery process) can be executed. On the other hand, in the "setting difference bonus", the ART transition lottery process cannot be executed. Therefore, in the "setting difference bonus", instead of being unable to execute the ART transition lottery process, it is set so that a larger number of points can be obtained than in the "setting difference no bonus". As a result, even if the generated "bonus" is a "setting difference bonus", the player can expect the rank of the "setting suggestion card" to rise, so that the player can fully enjoy the bonus game.

In this way, the number of points increases according to the progress of the game and the winning combination during the bonus game. Then, each time the number of points reaches the change point, the rank of the card will be increased. As a result, for example, it is possible to raise the motivation for playing in a state where the lamp in the advantageous section is not lit (normal section).
In this embodiment, the "setting suggestion card" corresponds to the "output right", and the rank of the "setting suggestion card" is from "weak card" (first output right) to "medium card" (second output right). , "Medium card" (1st output right) to "strong card" (2nd output right), "strong card" (1st output right) to "strongest card" (2nd output right) Is the sub-control unit 2
It is realized by operating 0 as a changing means.
In addition, the current rank of the card is, for example, color-coded into a unique color for each rank.
The display 8 can be visually identified. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of points cannot be identified, but this is not the case.

Further, when holding a plurality of "setting suggestion cards", the number of points for each can be totaled and integrated into one "setting suggestion card". In this case, whether or not to integrate may be left to the player's judgment based on the player's operation (for example, a touch operation described later).

Examples of the use of the "HP (hit point) card", "deadly card", and "setting suggestion card" acquired in this way will be described below.
In principle, these cards can be used at any time in the chance zone, but as shown below, the types of chance zones that can be used (CZ1, CZ).
2), and the timing of use in each chance zone can be limited.
For example, in this embodiment, the "setting suggestion card" can be used in both CZ1 and CZ2 chance zones, the "deadly card" can be used in CZ1, and the "HP card" can be used in CZ2. Each is set as a card.
Further, in the present embodiment, the display 8 is provided with a touch panel, and the player operates the touch panel to select the "card" to be used and the type thereof from the "cards" held at that time. It is configured to be able to. As a result, the timing of using the card can be entrusted to the player.

<Example of using a card in CZ1>
As described above, "CZ1" is set as a chance zone for a lottery to shift to ART, and continuous production (for example, "battle production") is executed over the first to third games, and the fourth game is ART. Perform an effect to show whether it is right or wrong.
In "CZ1", "special card" and "setting suggestion card" can be used in the first to third games.

When the "Special Move" is used by touch operation, the "Special Move" is performed on the display 8 by the "Friend Character" to perform the "Special Move" against the "Enemy Character", and the type of the "Special Move" is delivered. According to the above, the degree of expectation of winning ART at the present time is shown.
There are three types of "special move", for example, "weak move", "medium move", and "strong move", and the type of "special move" to be delivered is determined based on the probability according to the success or failure of ART. Will be done.
Specifically, in the game in which the "special card" is used, the "special move effect lottery process" with reference to the "lottery table when using the special card" shown in FIG. 15 is executed. This "lottery table when using a special card" is set so that the ART winning person can easily perform the "strong skill" as compared with the "weak skill" and the "medium skill" than the ART non-winning. With such settings, "Special Card"
In the game used in, the degree of expectation of winning ART can be shown according to the type of "special move" to be played.

When the "setting suggestion card" is used in any of the first to third games by touch operation, the currently set setting value among the setting values 1 to 6 in the fifth game is used. The suggestive effect (also referred to as "setting suggestion effect" or "suggestion effect") is executed.
As described above, since the effect indicating whether or not the ART is correct is executed in the fourth game, the "setting suggestion effect" is performed on the display 8 in the fifth game following the effect.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the ART is not won, the "setting suggestion effect" is not performed regardless of whether or not the "setting suggestion card" is used.
In this way, the following effects can be exhibited by not performing the "setting suggestion effect" when the ART is not won.

The degree of expectation of winning an ART depends on the type of "special move" that is delivered when the "special card" is used. For example, when an effect in which a "weak technique" is performed is executed, ART
It is suggested that there is a high possibility of non-winning. In such a case, the "setting suggestion card" can be preserved without wasting it.
On the other hand, it is suggested that there is a high possibility of winning the ART when the production in which the "strong technique" is delivered is executed. In such a case, use the "setting suggestion card" and expect that the "setting suggestion effect" will be performed in the fifth game while hoping that the ART winning effect will be performed in the fourth game. Can be done.
In this way, even if you use the "setting suggestion card", if you have not won the ART, the "setting suggestion effect" will not be executed, so if you have a "deadly card", you will get a "deadly card". By using in the 1st to 3rd games, the player guesses whether or not he has won the ART based on the type of the "special move" to be delivered, and uses the "setting suggestion card". Can be done.

Here, a specific usage example of the "setting suggestion card" in the "CZ1" will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 14 is a chart showing an example of the effect when the “setting suggestion card” is used in the “CZ1”.
In "CZ1", "ART transition lottery processing" is executed in which the transition to ART is applied for each of 1 to 3 games, and the success or failure of this lottery processing is associated with the victory or defeat of "battle production" in the 4th game. Is displayed on the display 8.
For example, the upper part of the chart is an example of an ART winning effect in which "battle win effect" is displayed in the 4th game, and the lower part of the chart is an ART non-winning effect in which "battle negative effect" is displayed in the 4th game. An example of the production of time is shown.
In the upper part of the chart, the "setting suggestion card" is used in the third game, and in the lower part of the chart, the "setting suggestion card" is used in the second game.
As shown in FIG. 14, when the "setting suggestion card" is used, the "setting suggestion effect" is executed on the display 8 only when the ART is won. On the contrary, AR
In the case of non-winning T, even if the "setting suggestion card" is used, the "setting suggestion effect" is not performed, and a predetermined normal effect is performed.
In this way, even if the "setting suggestion card" is used, unless you win the ART, "
Since "setting suggestion effect" is not performed, if you have a "special card", use the "special card" to prevent the "setting suggestion card" from being wasted. "
It is preferable to determine whether or not to use the "setting suggestion card" while guessing whether or not the ART has been won based on the type of "special move" unfolded in.
In this embodiment, the "setting suggestion card" can be used in each of the 1 to 3 games in CZ1, but it can be used only before the first game is started (for example, before the start lever 3 is operated). It can also be.

<Example of using a card in CZ2>
Like "CZ1", "CZ2" is set as a chance zone for a lottery to shift to ART, and continuous production (for example, "super battle production") is executed over the 1st to 7th games, and the 8th game. An effect showing the success or failure of ART is performed.

As described above, in "CZ2", "subtraction point number lottery processing" is performed in which "subtraction points" are determined by lottery based on the winning combination of "internal lottery processing" executed between 1 to 7 games. .. The "subtraction points" determined by this "subtraction point number lottery process" are subtracted from the points (for example, 10 points) given in advance, and when the points reach a predetermined number (for example, "0"), AT1 The transition to is confirmed.

Such subtraction processing can be linked (linked) to the continuous production performed over the 1st to 7th games. For example, the points given in advance are the "number of physical strength points" of the "enemy character".
The "subtraction points" determined by the "subtraction point number lottery process" are made to correspond to the "damage points" for the "enemy character" by the technique of the "ally character". Then, when the "number of physical strength points" of the "enemy character" reaches a predetermined number (for example, "0"), the "enemy character" is defeated, and the victory of the "ally character" confirms the transition to AT1. Can be linked with.

In such "CZ2", as shown in FIG. 16, three types of "CZ2" having different specific combinations at the time of executing the "subtraction point number lottery process" are provided in the present embodiment.
"Replay CZ2" is a chance zone where the "replay role" in the "internal lottery process" is a specific role, and "watermelon CZ2" is a chance zone where the "watermelon role" in the "internal lottery process" is a specific role. Each of the "cherry CZ2" is set as a chance zone in which the "chury role" in the "internal lottery process" is a specific role.
Which of the three types of "CZ2" will be transferred to "CZ2" is "Stage 2".
It is determined in the lottery process executed when shifting from to "CZ2".
For example, the transition to "Replay CZ2" is determined by the winning probability of 1/10, and "Watermelon C"
The transition to "Z2" is determined by the winning probability of 4/10, and the transition to "Cherry CZ2" is 5
It is determined by the winning probability of / 10.
Further, in each "CZ2", it is preferable that each type can be identified by, for example, different background colors of the "battle effect" performed in the "CZ2".

In the "subtraction point number lottery process", the "subtraction point number lottery process" is executed for each game in "CZ2".
"Subtraction points" are determined by lottery based on the winning combination of "internal lottery process". The "subtraction point" is determined with reference to the "subtraction point number lottery table" shown in FIG.
In this "subtraction point number lottery table", the winning combination corresponding to the name of each "CZ2" is "
Winning roles other than "specific role" and "specific role" are divided into "non-specific role", and more people win "specific role" than "non-specific role" in "internal lottery processing". It is set so that the number of subtraction points of can be obtained.
For example, to explain by taking "watermelon CZ2" with "watermelon role" as a specific role as an example, when the "watermelon role" is won, the subtraction points of "0 points" and "1 point" are not determined. It is set so that 3 points or 10 points of subtraction points can be obtained. On the other hand, when a player wins a prize other than the "watermelon role", a large percentage of "0 points" and "1 points" subtraction points are determined, and 10 points of subtraction points cannot be obtained. ..
In this way, in the "subtraction point number lottery process" performed during "CZ2", more deductions are made by winning the "specific combination" than by winning the "non-specific combination" in the "internal lottery process". Since the number of points is set so that the number of points can be obtained, the game can be advanced while expecting the winning of each specific role in the three types of "CZ2".

In such "CZ2", the "HP card" can be used in the first to seventh games, and the "setting suggestion card" is used before the first game starts (for example, the type of the "CZ" depending on the player. Can be used only before it becomes identifiable).

When the "HP card" is used by touch operation, the points (physical strength points) of the "enemy character" in the game are displayed on the display 8. As a result, the player
Furthermore, it is possible to estimate how many damage points (subtraction points) should be given to the "enemy character" to reach "0" in the possession points (physical strength points) of the "enemy character".

In addition, when the "setting suggestion card" is used by touch operation, each time the specific combination corresponding to each "CZ2" is won in each "CZ2", the "setting suggestion effect" is displayed on the display 8 or the like. To run at.
FIG. 18 is a chart showing an example of the effect when the “setting suggestion card” is used in the “CZ2”.
In "CZ2", continuous production (for example, ""
"Super battle production") is executed, and the production showing the success or failure of ART is performed in the 8th game.
For example, the middle part of the chart is an example of the production when the type of "CZ2" is "cherry CZ2" and the "battle negative effect" is displayed in the 8th game when the ART is not won. ,
When the type of "CZ2" is "Replay CZ2", "Battle win production" in the 8th game
Is displayed, an example of the effect at the time of winning the ART is shown.
In both production examples, it is assumed that the "setting suggestion card" is used before the first game starts (for example, before the type of the "CZ" can be identified by the player).
The upper part of the chart shows the winning combination in the "internal lottery process" in "CZ2".

As shown in the figure, the "setting suggestion effect" is performed every time a specific combination corresponding to the name of "CZ2" is won.
For example, in the case of "Cherry CZ2" in the middle of the chart, since the "Cherry role" which is a specific role is won in the fifth game, the "setting suggestion effect" is executed in the game.
Further, in the case of "Replay CZ2" at the bottom of the chart, since the "Replay role" which is a specific role is won in the first, fourth, and sixth games, "setting" is performed in each game corresponding to the winning of the specific role. Execute "suggestion production".
On the other hand, even if the "setting suggestion card" is used, the "setting suggestion effect" is not executed when the specific combination is not won in each of the games 1 to 7.

In this way, by executing the "setting suggestion effect" every time a specific role is won, "CZ2"
The frequency of occurrence of "setting suggestion effect" differs depending on the type of ".
For example, in the "internal lottery process", the "replay role" is easier to win than the "cherry role", so the "setting suggestion effect" is performed more frequently in the "replay CZ2" than in the "cherry CZ2". Become. Utilizing such a difference in the frequency of occurrence, the more frequently the "setting suggestion effect" is performed, the more the accuracy of the set value suggested in the "setting suggestion effect" is higher than the currently set value. By setting it to be high, "setting suggestion effect"
You can also increase the reliability of. With such a setting, the player wants to shift to "CZ2" in which the winning combination that is easy to win in the "internal lottery process" is the specific combination.
In the present embodiment, it is possible to select whether or not to use the "setting suggestion card" before the player can identify the type of CZ2, but the type of CZ2 can be identified. After that, you may be able to use the "setting suggestion card". As a result, as described above, when shifting to "CZ2" in which the winning combination that is easy to win in the "internal lottery process" is the specific combination, the "setting suggestion card" is actively used. It is possible to improve the frequency with which the "setting suggestion effect" is executed.

By using the card in CZ1 and CZ2 as described above, the sub-control unit 20 erases the information of the card related to the use stored in the storage means such as RAM.
The sub-control unit 20 stores the number of cards for each type of card. For example, when one "setting suggestion card" is used, the number of possessed "setting suggestion cards" is subtracted by one. , Erase the card information related to use (erasing means).
As a result, the output right "setting suggestion card" is deleted.
Even if the "setting suggestion card" is used, the "setting suggestion effect" is not executed due to the non-winning of ART in CZ1 and the non-winning of a specific role in CZ2, but the "setting suggestion card" was used. However, if the "setting suggestion effect" is not executed, it is considered that the "setting suggestion card" is not used, and the number of "setting suggestion cards" is added by one to the "setting suggestion card". You can also restore the information.

In addition, in the chance zone (CZ1, CZ2), when the "bonus role" is won, the game shifts to the bonus game, and after the bonus game ends, the player returns to the chance zone again. When the "setting suggestion card" is used in (CZ1, CZ2), the right to use it may be carried over to the chance zone after the return, or it may be deleted without carrying it over.

Further, the information of each card is erased unusably by using the card, but it may be erased unusably based on the operation of the player (erasing means).
For example, the card to be erased can be selected by touch operation, and the information of the selected card can be erased.
Thereby, for example, if the acquired card type is not the type of card desired by the player, the card can be erased.
In this way, not only the use of the card but also the timing of the use and erasure of the card information can be left to the judgment of the player, so that the various needs of the player can be met.

Here, the specific contents of the "setting suggestion effect" executed based on the use of the "setting suggestion card" will be described.
The "setting suggestion effect" is an example of "set value information" which is information about the set value (hereinafter, the "setting suggestion effect" may be referred to as "set value information"), and in the setting probability changing function. , Of the setting values 1 to 6, the currently set setting value (hereinafter, the currently set setting value may be referred to as a "true setting value") is suggested so that the player can identify it. Is. Such a "setting suggestion effect" is performed by the sub-control unit 20 operating as an output means.
It is output via a notification means such as a display 8.
As an example of the "setting suggestion effect", the following form of effect can be performed.

(1) Form that directly suggests "true setting value" For example, if "true setting value" is "setting value 6", "true setting value" is displayed on the display 8 as "setting suggestion effect". "Set value 6" is directly displayed.
Or, when displaying a unique image (for example, color coding) of each of the set values 1 to 6.
If the "true setting value" is the "setting value 6", the "setting suggestion effect" is displayed on the display 8 as "setting value 6".
The unique image corresponding to the "setting value 6" which is the "true setting value" is directly displayed.
(2) A form that implicitly suggests a "true set value" For example, if the "true set value" is "set value 6", it may be "set value 6" on the display 8 as a "setting suggestion effect". "Set value 6" which is a "true set value" such as "" is displayed implicitly.
(3) A form that suggests other set values in addition to the "true set value" (suggest multiple set values)
For example, if the "true set value" is the "set value 6", the "even set value" is displayed on the display 8 as the "setting suggestion effect". In this case, in addition to the "set value 6" which is the "true set value", the "set value 2" and the "set value 4" are also suggested.
Further, for example, if the "true set value" is the "set value 5", the "odd set value" is displayed on the display 8 as the "setting suggestion effect". In this case, the "setting value 5" which is the "true setting value"
"," Setting value 1 "and" Setting value 3 "are also suggested.
Further, for example, if the "true set value" is the "set value 6", the display 8 displays "set value 4 or more" as the "setting suggestion effect". In this case, in addition to the "setting value 6" which is the "true setting value", the "setting value 4" and the "setting value 5" are also suggested.
Further, for example, if the "true set value" is "set value 1", "set value 3 or less" is displayed on the display 8 as "setting suggestion effect". In this case, in addition to the "set value 1" which is the "true set value", the "set value 2" and the "set value 3" are also suggested.

Further, the above-mentioned effect given as an example of the "setting suggestion effect" does not suggest "false" information in the truth of the currently set setting value, but as described below, "
An effect suggesting "false" information can be included in an example of "setting suggestion effect".
For example, even though the currently set setting value is "setting value 6" (even number setting value), "
As the "setting suggestion effect", the "odd number setting value" is displayed on the display 8.
Further, even though the currently set setting value is "setting value 5" (odd number setting value), the "even number setting value" is displayed on the display 8 as the "setting suggestion effect".
Further, for example, even though the currently set setting value is "setting value 6" (setting value 4 or more), "setting value 3 or less" is displayed on the display 8 as "setting suggestion effect".
Further, even though the currently set setting value is "setting value 1" (low setting value), "setting value 4 or more" (high setting value) is displayed on the display 8 as "setting suggestion effect". do.

As described above, the "setting suggestion effect" has various forms of effect, but in the present embodiment, the effect suggests not only true information but also false information with respect to the currently set setting value. Shall be done.
In this way, if it is decided to perform an effect that suggests not only true information but also false information with respect to the currently set value, the "setting suggestion effect" is currently set for the player. Whether or not the information is reliable for the set value is a serious concern.
That is, the player wants to output "setting value information"("setting suggestion effect") with high accuracy in terms of the accuracy of the information with respect to the currently set value of the "setting suggestion effect".
For example, if the currently set setting value is "setting value 6", the player can set "even number setting" as more accurate information than "odd number setting value" is displayed as "setting suggestion effect". value"
I hope to be displayed.
In this way, the player can obtain accurate "set value information" with respect to the currently set set value.
That is, since it is desired to execute the "setting suggestion effect" with high accuracy, in this embodiment, the card rank of the "setting suggestion card" to be used is associated with the "setting value information" and output according to the card rank. The accuracy of the "set value information" is set to change.
Specifically, the sub-control unit 20 controls so that the higher the card rank, the higher the accuracy of the output "set value information"("setting suggestion effect").
In order to realize such control, the sub control unit 20 operates as follows.

For example, the sub-control unit 20 refers to the setting suggestion effect lottery table shown in FIG. 19 and executes the “setting suggestion effect determination process” which is a lottery process for determining the effect content in the “setting suggestion effect” by lottery.
The production content of the "setting suggestion effect" determined by lottery includes "no setting suggestion" that does not perform the setting suggestion effect itself, and "even number setting value" that indicates that the setting value related to the effect content is an "even number setting value". "Suggestion", "odd number suggestion" indicating that the setting value related to the effect content is an odd number setting value, and "setting" indicating that the setting value related to the effect content is a high setting value (for example, a setting value 4 or more). There is "suggestion" (high setting suggestion).
The contents of these effects are determined by lottery for each set value currently set.
Further, the setting suggestion effect lottery table shown in FIG. 19 is provided for each card rank, and FIGS. 19A to 19D show "when using a weak card", "when using a medium card", and "when using a strong card". "When using" and "when using the strongest card" are the setting suggestion effect lottery tables 1 to 4, respectively.
By referring to such a setting suggestion effect lottery table, the effect content of the "setting suggestion effect" is determined as shown below.

Specifically, when using a "setting suggestion card" with a card rank of "medium card",
Refer to the setting suggestion effect lottery table 2 in FIG. 19 (b). Further, when the currently set setting value is "setting value 1", the lottery process is executed with reference to the value in the row corresponding to "setting 1". By executing this lottery process, the effect content of "no setting suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "111/255", the effect content of "even number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "44/255", and "odd number". The effect content of "suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "68/255", and the effect content of "setting suggestion" (high setting suggestion) is determined by the winning probability of "32/255". and,
In this example, even though the currently set setting value is "setting value 1" and "odd number setting value", the effect content of "even number suggestion", that is, "false information" is "44". It will appear with a probability of "/ 255".

However, such "disinformation" becomes "true information" as the card rank increases.
It is set so that the winning probability is low.
For example, in the "medium card", the effect content of "even number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "44/255", and the effect content of "odd number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "68/255". In the "strong card", the effect content of "even number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "60/255", and the effect content of "odd number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "125/255". In other words, the appearance ratio of "true information" and "false information" is "64" for the "medium card" (first output right).
In contrast to ": 44", "strong card" (second output right) is "125:60", and "strong card" is "false information" compared to "medium card". It is set to appear more than twice as much as "information".
That is, as the card rank increases, the probability of winning "false information" decreases with respect to "true information", in other words, as the card rank increases, "true information" becomes "true information".
It is set so that the winning probability is high for "false information".
Further, in the "strongest card", the effect content of "even number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "0/255", and the effect content of "odd number suggestion" is determined by the winning probability of "255/255".
That is, the "strongest card" is set so that only "true information" appears without "false information" appearing.
In this way, as the card rank increases, the sub-control unit 20 outputs "setting value information"("setting suggestion effect") with respect to the currently set setting value ("true setting value"). Control so that the accuracy of is high.

Furthermore, it is also possible to give a privilege according to the currently set value.
For example, the higher the setting value currently set (for example, the setting value 4 or more), the higher the setting value.
Increase the appearance rate of "setting suggestion" (high setting suggestion) indicating that it is a high setting value.
That is, even though the currently set setting value is a low setting (for example, a setting value of 3 or less), the effect content of the "setting suggestion" indicating that the setting value is a high setting value, that is, "false information".
However, as the currently set setting value becomes a high setting value (for example, a setting value of 4 or more), the appearance rate of "setting suggestion" indicating that the setting value is high is increased.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 19A to 19D, when the currently set setting value is a high setting value of 4 or more, the higher the card rank, the higher the setting value. "
The appearance rate of "setting suggestion" is increasing.
That is, the higher the card rank and the higher the set value currently set (for example, the set value 4 or more), the more likely it is that a "setting suggestion" indicating that the set value is high appears. Is set to.
Even with such settings, the higher the card rank, the higher the accuracy of the output "setting value information"("setting suggestion effect") with respect to the currently set value ("true setting value"). Is included in the control.

In this embodiment, no matter what kind of "setting suggestion card" is used, "even suggestion",
It is controlled so that the currently set setting value is not clearly output, such as "odd number suggestion" and "setting suggestion" (high setting suggestion), but it is a dedicated setting suggestion for each setting value. An effect may be provided, and when the "strongest card" is used, the currently set value may be clearly output by executing the dedicated effect.
Further, in the present embodiment, even though the currently set setting value is an "even setting value", an effect suggesting an "odd number setting value" is performed, or the currently set setting value is an "odd number setting value". However, when outputting "false information" such as an effect that suggests an "even setting value", it is possible to perform an ambiguous effect that includes the suggestion of both an even setting value and an odd setting value. preferable. Then, as the card rank increases, the ambiguity diminishes, and it is preferable to gradually shift to an effect in which the even-numbered setting value and the odd-numbered setting value are clearly suggested.
Similarly, even though the currently set value is a low setting value, an effect suggesting a "high setting value" is performed, or even though the currently set value is a high setting value, it is "low". Setting value "
Even in the case of outputting "false information" such as an effect suggesting the above, it is preferable to perform an ambiguous effect including the suggestion of both the high setting value and the low setting value. Then, as the card rank increases, and further, as the set value increases, the ambiguity diminishes, and it is preferable to gradually shift to an effect in which the high set value is clearly suggested.

A program or data related to such control is stored in a storage means such as a ROM provided in the sub-control unit 20, and the CPU provided in the sub-control unit 20 executes this program while referring to the data. The characteristic operation as described above is realized.
FIG. 20 shows a flowchart of the “setting suggestion effect control process” which is a program related to the output control of the “setting suggestion effect”, and the above-mentioned characteristic operation will be described with reference to this.
This process is performed, for example, in the chance zone.

The sub-control unit 20 stores the number of "setting suggestion cards" held in the storage means such as RAM, and determines the presence or absence of the "setting suggestion card" as the process is executed (S1).
When there is no "setting suggestion card" (S1-No), the process ends.
On the other hand, when there is a "setting suggestion card" (S1-Yes), it is determined whether or not an operation for using the "setting suggestion card" (for example, a touch operation) is subsequently performed (S2).
..
When the operation for using the "setting suggestion card" is not performed (S2-No), the process ends.
On the other hand, when the operation for using the "setting suggestion card" is performed (S2-Yes)
Subsequently, the card rank of the stored "setting suggestion card" is determined (S3).
Next, it is determined whether the currently set value is any of the set values 1 to 6 (S4).
).
Then, based on the determined card rank and the currently set setting value, the setting suggestion effect lottery table shown in FIG. 19 is referred to, and the effect content in the "setting suggestion effect" is determined by lottery. "Direction determination process" is executed (S5).
Next, the "setting suggestion effect" is executed by displaying the effect content determined in the "setting suggestion effect determination process" on the display 8 (S6).
By executing such a program, the higher the rank of the card, the higher the accuracy of the "setting suggestion effect" to be output with respect to the currently set setting value.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
For example, since the set value information is output when the operation means is operated by the player, the set value information can be output at the timing when the player wants to know the set value information, and the output timing of the set value information can be obtained. With respect to, it is possible to meet the needs of the player.
In addition, since the accuracy of the set value information increases according to the card rank, it becomes difficult to immediately use the possessed card, so that the game quality and the customer stagnation rate can be improved.
Furthermore, since the accuracy of the set value information increases according to the card rank, it is possible to meet the needs of the player who wants to know the accurate setting information.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine that outputs set value information regarding a set value at a predetermined timing such as when a bonus is won or ended. However, in the above-mentioned gaming machine, the setting information is not output at the timing when the player wants to know the setting value information.
Regarding the output timing of the setting information, it was not possible to meet the needs of the player.
As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming machine should improve.

In the invention according to the embodiment described above, the following examples may be applied as modifications or application embodiments.

For example, in the present embodiment, various cards can be used in the chance zone, but the cards may be used in other game states such as a normal stage, a bonus game, and ART.
Further, in the present embodiment, various cards can be acquired in the normal stage, but cards may be acquired in other game states such as chance zone, bonus game, and ART. Further, in this case, the types of cards that can be acquired may be different depending on the game state.
Further, in the present embodiment, in the operation as the output means of the sub-control unit 20, the set value information is output as a "setting suggestion effect" that can be visually identified, but the output form of the set value information is not limited to this. For example, information in signal format may be used.

Further, the touch panel provided in the display 8 is adopted as the operation means related to the use (and erasure) of the card, but the operation means is not limited to this, and existing operation means such as the bet button 2a or a dedicated button may be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 20 operates as various means such as an imparting means, a storage means, an output means, a changing means, an erasing means, and an effect control means, and the main control unit 10 is one of them. The main control unit 10 can also operate as various means by performing the unit or all.
On the contrary, the main control unit 10 operates as various means such as a game state control means and a determination means, but the sub control unit 20 performs a part or all of the operation, and the sub control unit 20 performs various means. It can also work.

Further, although the present invention has been applied to a slot machine, it can also be applied to other gaming machines such as pachinko (for example, ball slot machines).
Further, the present invention can also be applied to a so-called enclosed gaming machine capable of executing a game using a simulated gaming medium in a data format without using an actual gaming medium such as a medal or a gaming ball.

Further, in the present embodiment, a reel driven and controlled by a motor is used as the variable display means, but instead of or in addition to this, an image in which a design such as a reel fluctuates on a display 8 such as a liquid crystal display. The display can also be used as a variable display means of the identification information by displaying.
