As shown in FIG. 1B, inside the slot machine 1, there is provided a main control section 41 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects operations on the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the settlement switch 10, and the like, and controls the progress of the game according to the detected operations.

Inside the slot machine 1 , a sub-control section 91 is provided for controlling effects according to commands from the main control section 41 . The sub-control unit 91 includes a sub-CPU 91a that performs various controls related to effects, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to effects. The sub-controller 91 controls image display on the main display 51 , image display on the sub-display 61 , and sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 based on commands from the main controller 41 . Effect data used for image display on the main display unit 51 and sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 is stored in the RAM 91c. Furthermore, the sub-controller 91 detects an operation on the performance switch 56 and controls image display on the main display 51 and sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 according to the detected operation.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into the medal inserting unit 4 or operates the MAXBET switch 6 to set a prescribed number of bets. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes valid, so that the game can be started. The winning line LN is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R displayed in the see-through window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, only the pay line LN set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, and the middle of the reel 2R is defined as the pay line. , a plurality of winning lines may be provided. Also, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a prize has been aligned on the prize line LN.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 41 . The internal lottery is a process of determining symbol combinations (display result combinations) that allow derivation. The fact that the internal lottery permits the derivation of a symbol combination is also called winning the combination corresponding to the symbol combination.

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch stops rotating. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed in the see-through window 3 . When the symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination stops on the winning line LN, a prize corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

The winning combination includes a special combination (bonus), a small combination, and a replay combination. A special combination (bonus) is a combination in which the game state is controlled to a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small combination is higher than in a non-bonus state by winning a prize. Special awards (bonuses) include first-class special awards such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), and second-class special awards such as CB (challenge bonus). In this embodiment, CB is provided as a special role. A small winning combination is a winning combination for which a medal is awarded. A replay combination (replay) is a combination that enables the next game to be started without consuming medals owned by the player by winning a prize.

In order to generate a prize for each combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for the combination. In the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to allow the winning of each combination before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7 is detected using random numbers.

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

In addition, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation manner (for example, operation order, operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation manner. and a replaying combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an AT target combination) can be won. For example, the AT target role may have a stop mode that is more advantageous than a stop mode in which a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode and a stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , and a winning combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping in an advantageous stop mode is higher than in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. In addition, the advantageous stop mode includes not only the stop mode accompanied by awarding of medals, but also the stop mode accompanied by a transition to an advantageous game state, a stop mode in which a transition to a disadvantageous game state is avoided, and the like.

The main control unit 41 can execute navigation for informing the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that are advantageous to the player according to the result of the internal lottery. Specifically, the main control unit 41 can execute navigation notification for notifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous to the player according to the result of the internal lottery by the lighting mode of the auxiliary game display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (AT) to be an appropriate notification period.

When a predetermined lottery condition is established, the main control unit 41 conducts an advantageous zone lottery to determine whether or not to control to an advantageous zone controlled to be in an advantageous state for the player. By winning the lottery, the control of the advantageous section is started from the end of the game in which the lottery condition for performing the advantageous section lottery is satisfied. During the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification by controlling the AT by winning the navigation target role (push-up role) according to the game state, which is advantageous for the player. Operation modes (for example, operation order, operation timing, etc.) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are notified using the game auxiliary display 12, and a command that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is sub-controlled. By transmitting to the unit 91, a navigation effect is executed in which the operation mode is notified using the main display unit 51 or the like. Note that a state in which navigation cannot be performed is called a normal section, unlike a section state in which navigation can be performed, such as an advantageous section.

The push-order bell includes a push-order bell that wins when the player's operation mode matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push-order role (hereinafter also referred to as "correct answer procedure"), and the player's operation. A pushing order reply is included in which the replay wins when the mode matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning pushing order combination. Hereinafter, navigation that can be performed in a game in which the pushing order bell is won is also referred to as bell navigation.

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R according to the correct procedure according to the Bell Navi, the player can win the combination that pays out more medals among the combinations included in the pressing order bell. Among the combinations included in the push order bell, the combination that can be won when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct procedure is "leader", and the stop switch 8L, A winning combination that can be won when 8C and 8R are operated is also called a "secondary combination".

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, it is possible to ensure that the pushing order winning combination in the internal lottery wins. Further, in the control of the advantageous section, the advantageous section LED 19 is turned on to indicate that the advantageous section is being controlled.

[Game state transition]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the transition of game states. As shown in FIG. 3, the game states controlled by the main display unit 51 include non-internal and internal.

The internal state is a state in which a game can proceed and a payout rate of medals based on a predetermined design value is ensured. In addition, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, most of the games are played internally by the players.

On the other hand, during the non-internal state, the player does not play the game, or if the player does play the game, the time is extremely short. In the non-internal mode, when a CB is won and the winning prize of the CB is lost, the game state shifts to the internal mode from the next game. That is, inside, the winning of CB is carried over. Once the playing state is internally controlled, there are very few, if any, extremely low odds of winning a CB that is carried over.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, illustration of CB is omitted as a game state. state transitions. In this case, the CB generally ends after one game, and the game state shifts to the non-internal middle again.

Also, states in the internal include non-AT and AT. A non-AT is a state that is not controlled by an AT. On the other hand, AT is in a state capable of executing navigation notification and navigation effect, as described above. In a non-AT, when winning an AT lottery, which will be described later, the state is controlled by the AT.

Furthermore, states in the AT include a first state and a second state. When the state shifts from non-AT to AT, first, it is controlled to the first state in AT (hereinafter also referred to as AT first state). In the first state, the number of games (hereinafter also referred to as the number of AT games) is fixed. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of AT games in the first state is preset to 30G or 50G.

In the first state, when a predetermined number of AT games have been completed, the state transitions from the first state to the second state (hereinafter also referred to as AT second state). In the second state, the number of AT games is indefinite. Specifically, in the second state, the friendly character battles with the enemy character, and when the friendly character wins the battle, the state shifts to the first state, while the friendly character is defeated in the battle. Sometimes AT terminates and the state transitions to non-AT.

In order for the ally character to battle with the enemy character in the second state, life is required as the right for the battle. In this embodiment, life can be acquired in the first state, but life cannot be acquired in the second state. That is, the player gains life while staying in the first state, and by consuming the life acquired in the first state in the second state, the ally character can battle with the enemy character. In the second state, it is possible to battle as many times as the number of lives possessed, and even if the ally character is defeated by the enemy character in the battle, the ally character can battle with the enemy character again as long as the life remains. can be done. If there is no life remaining when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, AT ends and the state shifts to non-AT.

In the second state, when the ally character wins over the enemy character and the state shifts to the first state, life can be gained again in the first state. Therefore, as long as the life remains, it is possible to continue to repeatedly transition between the first state and the second state. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R according to the Bell Navi, it is possible to increase the net increase in the number of medals.

In addition, the first state includes a first section and a second section as sections in which the number of net increase in medals differs. The first interval is the first half interval in the first state in which the number of AT games is fixed (for example, 1G to 15G if the first state is 30G). The first section is a section in which Bell Navi is performed less frequently than in the second section and in which the net increase in number of medals is lower than in the second section. For example, the net increase in the number of sheets per 1G in the first section is 1 sheet.

On the other hand, the second section is the latter section in the first state in which the number of AT games is fixed (for example, 16G to 30G if the first state is 30G). The second section is a section in which Bell Navi is performed more frequently than in the first section, and in which the number of net increase in medals is higher than in the first section. For example, the net increase in the number of sheets per 1 G in the second section is 5 sheets.

As described above, in the first section in the first state, the number of net additions of medals is lower than that in the second section, but instead, the life grant probability is higher than that in the second section. As a result, it is more advantageous for the player to stay in the first section in that it is easier for the player to receive lives. Advantageous.

Note that, in the second state, the net increase in the number of medals is high, as in the second section. For example, the net increase number per 1G in the second state is 5, as in the second section in the first state. Therefore, the player can obtain more medals during the battle in the second state.

In the present embodiment, there is provided a BAR reply that wins a prize when the BAR patterns are aligned, and the winning of this BAR reply increases the player's advantage. Specifically, in the first state, when the BAR reply wins, the grant of life is confirmed, and in the second state, when the BAR reply wins, it is decided that the ally character wins the battle.

In the series of AT described above, after the number of staying games in the advantageous section (hereinafter, also referred to as the number of advantageous Gs) reaches a predetermined number of games, the control is made to the ending state. The ending state is a state in which it is determined that the control to the advantageous section will continue until the number of advantageous Gs reaches the upper limit of 1500 games. In the present embodiment, the ending state is controlled on condition that the number of ED transition Gs counted for transitioning to the ending state reaches 1400G. When controlled to the ending state, the game in which navigation is simply performed is repeated until the number of advantageous G reaches the upper limit of 1500 games without giving life or performing a battle. When the number of advantageous Gs reaches the upper limit of 1500 games, the advantageous section ends and the state shifts to non-AT.

The name column of FIG. 4 shows the name of the winning combination, and the symbol combination column shows the combination of symbols that will win the winning combination. In addition, in the combination column of symbols aligned on the invalid line, a combination of symbols which stop on the invalid line when the winning symbol combination stops on the winning line and which is easy for the player to recognize is displayed. ing. Values (the number of medals to be paid out, the number of replays to be given, etc.) that are given at the time of winning are indicated in the given column.

As shown in FIG. 4, CB is provided as a special role. As small combinations, middle bell, right-down bell, upper bell 1 to 8, right-down watermelon, upper watermelon, middle watermelon, lower cherry, and one-piece combination are provided. As the replay role, normal replays, fake replays, and BAR replays are provided.

The middle bell and the right-sloping bell are the roles corresponding to the above-described main character, but the middle-level bell pays out more than the right-sloping bell. For example, the payout number of the middle bell is 8, while the payout number of the right-down bell is 3. The upper bells 1 to 8 are hands corresponding to the above-mentioned sub-bells, and the number of payouts is smaller than that of the middle bells and the right-down bells.

When a right-sloping watermelon wins, the watermelon symbols are aligned right-sloping along the invalid line LM3 on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. When the upper watermelon wins, the watermelon symbols are arranged in the upper row along the invalid line LM1 on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. When the middle watermelon wins, watermelon patterns are arranged in the middle along the winning line LN on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

When the BAR slip wins, the BAR symbols are aligned upward to the right along the invalid line LM4 on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. When the fake rip wins, the BAR symbols are aligned upward to the right along the invalid line LM4 only on the reels 2C and 2R, but the BAR symbols do not stop on the reel 2L.

[Lottery target role]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a combination of winning combinations read out as a lottery target combination for each gaming state. The win number column in FIG. 5 shows the win number determined for each lottery target role, the lottery target role column shows the name thereof, and the winning combination column contains the winning combination included in each lottery target role. In the game state column, a circle indicates that the lottery object combination is the lottery object for each game state.

As shown in FIG. 5, CB is provided as a lottery target combination for a special combination. As the lottery target roles for the small winning combination, normal bell, 6-choice bells 1-6, 3-choice bells 1-3, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, and strong cherry are provided. As the lottery target role of the replay role, a normal replay, a special replay, and a special replay are provided.

In the non-internal game, all the combinations can be won.

[Reel control for push order]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning a pushing first hand. As shown in FIG. 6, 6-choice bells 1 to 6 and 3-choice bells 1 to 3 are provided as pushing order bells in the pushing order bells. In a game in which these pressing order bells are won during AT, Bell Navi is executed and the correct procedure is notified to the player. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R according to the correct procedure according to the Bell Navi, the player can win a winning combination advantageous to the player.

For example, in a game in which one of the 6-choice bells 1 to 6 is won, the middle bell, which is the main character, wins when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, while the stop switch 8L wins in the incorrect answer procedure. , 8C and 8R are operated, the upper bell, which is a secondary role, wins or fails to win. Also, in a game in which one of the three-choice bells 1 to 3 is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the main character, the falling bell, wins, while in the incorrect procedure the stop switch wins. When 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, the upper bell, which is a secondary role, wins or loses the winning.

Of the push-up roles, special push-up slips and special push-up slips are provided. In the game in which the special reply is won, the BAR reply is won when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order. In addition, below, operating in order of the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L is also called reverse push. On the other hand, in the game in which the special reply is won, the normal reply is won when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by means other than the reverse push. In addition, in the game in which the special reply is won, reverse push navigation may be performed to prompt the player to push backward, and the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the reverse push navigation , BAR can be awarded.

In the game where the special reply is won, the fake reply wins when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by reverse pressing, and the normal reply wins when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated other than the reverse push. do.

[Various lotteries related to benefits]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining various lottery tables regarding benefits. Benefits in the present embodiment include the number of AT games that can be granted during non-AT, life that can be granted during AT first state, and one-shot victory in battle that can be granted during AT second state.

(AT lottery)
The number of AT games can be awarded based on an AT lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during non-AT. FIG. 7(a) shows an AT lottery table referred to in AT lottery. As shown in FIG. 7(a), in the AT lottery, the expected value of the number of AT games to be given per 1G differs between when a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won and when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won. .

Specifically, the probability of winning weak watermelon or weak cherry in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/50. Also, when weak watermelon or weak cherry is won, the number of AT games of 30G is awarded with a probability of 30%. Therefore, the expected value for the number of AT games per 1G for winning a weak watermelon or weak cherry is 0.180G.

On the other hand, the probability of winning the strong watermelon or strong cherry in the internal lottery is 1/400, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/200. Also, when strong watermelon or strong cherry is won, the number of AT games of 30G is awarded with a probability of 50%, and the number of AT games is awarded with a probability of 20%. Therefore, the expected value of the number of AT games given per 1G is 0.125G for winning a strong watermelon or a strong cherry.

(life lottery)
A life can be granted based on a life lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during the AT first state. FIG. 7(b) shows the life lottery table referred to in the life lottery in the first section in the AT first state. As shown in FIG. 7(b), in the life lottery in the first section, when a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, and when a special reply is won, The expected value of life given per 1G is different.

Specifically, the probability of winning weak watermelon or weak cherry in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/50. Also, when weak watermelon or weak cherry is won, 1 life is given with a probability of 55%, and 2 lives are given with a probability of 10%. Therefore, the expected life to be granted per 1 G is 0.015 for winning a weak watermelon or weak cherry.

Further, the probability of winning a strong watermelon or a strong cherry in the internal lottery is 1/400, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/200. Also, when strong watermelon or strong cherry is won, 2 lives are given with a probability of 100%. Therefore, the expected life to be given per 1 G is 0.010 for winning a strong watermelon or strong cherry.

Furthermore, the probability that the special reply will be won in the internal lottery is 1/10. Also, when the special reply is won, one life is given with a probability of 35%, and two lives are given with a probability of 20%. Therefore, for the special reply winning, the expected value of giving life per 1G is 0.075.

The sum of each expected value in weak watermelon winning, weak cherry winning, strong watermelon winning, strong cherry winning, and special reply winning is 0.10. That is, in the first section in the AT first state, 0.1 life per 1 G is given to the player. Then, as shown in the pie chart of FIG. 7(b), as the ratio of the role that triggers the granting of life, 25% of rare role wins such as weak watermelon wins, weak cherry wins, or strong watermelon wins and strong cherry wins. , and the special reply winning rate is 75%.

In this way, in the first section of the AT state 1, among the lottery conditions, winning a special reply is better than winning a rare role such as winning a weak watermelon, winning a weak cherry, or winning a strong watermelon or winning a strong cherry. , the expected value of giving life per 1G is high.

In the first section of the AT state 1, when a life is given as a result of winning a special reply, reverse push navigation is executed in the game in which the special reply is won. Therefore, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the reverse push navigation, the BAR reply wins. That is, in the first section of the AT first state, the award of life is suggested to the player by winning the BAR reply.

FIG. 7(c) shows the life lottery table referred to in the life lottery in the second section in the AT first state. As shown in FIG. 7(c), in the life lottery in the second section, when a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, and when a special reply is won, The expected value of life given per 1G is different.

Specifically, the probability of winning weak watermelon or weak cherry in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/50. Also, when weak watermelon or weak cherry is won, one life is given with a probability of 32%. Therefore, the expected life to be given per 1 G is 0.0064 for winning a weak watermelon or weak cherry.

Further, the probability of winning a strong watermelon or a strong cherry in the internal lottery is 1/400, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/200. Also, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, one life is given with a probability of 60%, and two lives are given with a probability of 31%. Therefore, the expected life to be granted per 1 G is 0.0061 for winning a strong watermelon or strong cherry.

Furthermore, the probability that the special reply will be won in the internal lottery is 1/10. Also, when the special reply is won, 1 life is given with a probability of 27.5%, and 2 lives are given with a probability of 5%. Therefore, for the special reply winning, the expected value of life to be granted per 1G is 0.0375.

The sum of the expected values in weak watermelon winning, weak cherry winning, strong watermelon winning, strong cherry winning, and special reply winning is 0.05. That is, 0.05 life per 1 G is given to the player in the first section in the AT first state. Then, as shown in the pie chart of FIG. 7(c), as the percentage of the role that triggers the granting of life, 25% of rare role wins such as weak watermelon winning, weak cherry winning, or strong watermelon winning and strong cherry winning. , and the special reply winning rate is 75%.

In this way, in the second section of the AT state 1, among the lottery conditions, winning a special reply is better than winning a rare role such as winning a weak watermelon, winning a weak cherry, or winning a strong watermelon or winning a strong cherry. , the expected value of giving life per 1G is high.

Furthermore, in the first AT state, the expected value of giving life per 1G in the first section is 0.1, while the expected value of giving life per 1G in the second section is 0.05. is one. In this way, the expected life to be granted per 1 G is higher in the first section than in the second section.

In the second section of the AT state 1, when a life is given as a result of winning a special reply, reverse push navigation is executed in the game in which the special reply was won. Therefore, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the reverse push navigation, the BAR reply wins. That is, in the second section of the AT first state, the award of life is suggested to the player by winning the BAR reply. Also, as described above, in the first section, Bell Navi occurs less frequently than in the second section. As a result, there is a high frequency of reverse navigation for winning BAR replies against special replies. Therefore, when some navigation is performed, the probability that the navigation is navigation for winning the BAR reply for the special reply, that is, the probability that life is awarded is higher in the first section than in the second section. It's becoming

(One-shot victory lottery)
A one-hit victory in battle can be granted based on a one-hit victory lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during the AT second state. FIG. 7(d) shows a one-hit victory lottery table referred to in the one-hit victory lottery in the AT second state. As shown in FIG. 7(d), in the one-hit victory lottery in the AT state 2, when a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, and when a special reply is won , the one-hit victory probability per 1 G differs.

Specifically, the probability of winning weak watermelon or weak cherry in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/50. Also, when weak watermelon or weak cherry is won, one-hit victory is given with a probability of 50%. Therefore, the probability of a one-hit win per 1 G is 1.0% for winning a weak watermelon or a weak cherry.

Further, the probability of winning a strong watermelon or a strong cherry in the internal lottery is 1/400, respectively, and the combined probability is 1/200. Also, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, a one-hit victory is given with a probability of 100%. Therefore, the probability of a one-shot victory per 1 G is 0.5% for winning a strong watermelon or a strong cherry.

Furthermore, the probability that the special reply will be won in the internal lottery is 1/10. Also, when a special reply is won, a one-shot victory is granted with a probability of 50%. Therefore, the probability of a one-shot victory per 1 G is 5.0% for the special reply winning.

In this way, in the second state of the AT, among the lottery conditions, winning a special reply is more expensive than winning a rare role such as winning a weak watermelon or winning a weak cherry, or winning a strong watermelon or strong cherry. Higher odds of a one-hit win.

In the second AT state, when a one-shot win is awarded with the special reply winning as a trigger, reverse push navigation is executed in the game in which the special reply winning is won. Therefore, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the reverse push navigation, the BAR reply wins. In other words, during the second state of AT, the award of a one-hit win is suggested to the player by winning the BAR reply.

[Direction lottery during non-AT]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining various lottery tables relating to effects during non-AT. In the present embodiment, as effects during non-AT, effects executed by displaying an image on the main display section 51 and effects executed by displaying an image on the sub-display section 61 are provided. ing.

(Direction display lottery)
The effect display can be executed based on the effect display lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during non-AT. FIG. 8(a) shows an effect display lottery table referred to in the effect display lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the effect displays include a first effect display in which an image of a snow cloud is displayed, a second effect display in which an image of a thundercloud is displayed, and an image of a snow cloud and a shutter release. A third effect display in which 52 operates, and a fourth effect display in which an image of a thundercloud is displayed and the shutter 52 operates are included. In the performance display lottery during non-AT, one performance display is determined from the plurality of types of performance displays with different probabilities depending on whether AT is not won or AT is won.

Specifically, when AT is won, the third effect display and the fourth effect display in which the shutter 52 operates are executed with a higher probability than the first effect display and the second effect display in which the shutter 52 does not operate. . Therefore, when the shutter 52 operates in the performance display, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a higher possibility of AT winning than when the shutter 52 does not operate.

(Direction suggestion display lottery)
The effect suggesting display is a display suggesting the effect display performed on the sub-display unit 61, and can be executed based on the effect suggesting display lottery executed by the sub-control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 8(b) shows an effect suggestion display lottery table referred to in the effect suggestion display lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the effect suggesting display includes a first effect suggesting display in which a character image of "NEXT" is displayed, a second effect suggesting display in which a character image of "CHANCE" is displayed, A third effect suggestion display in which a character image of "?" is displayed, and a fourth effect suggestion display in which a character image of "!" is displayed are included. In the performance suggesting display lottery during non-AT, one performance suggesting display is determined from among the plurality of types of performance suggesting displays with different probabilities for AT non-winning and AT winning.

Specifically, when AT is won, the third effect suggesting display and the fourth effect suggesting display are executed at a higher probability than the first effect suggesting display and the second effect suggesting display. For this reason, when the character image "?" or "!" It is possible to suggest to the player that there is a high possibility that the

(AT suggestion production lottery)
The AT suggestion performance is a performance in which a display suggesting AT winning is performed on the main display unit 51, and can be executed based on an AT suggestion performance lottery executed by the sub-control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 8(c) shows an AT suggesting effect lottery table referred to in the AT suggesting effect lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 8(c), the AT suggestive effect includes a castle search display, a treasure chest display, and a rock-paper-scissors display. In the AT suggesting performance lottery during non-AT, one performance suggesting display is determined from among the plurality of types of performance suggesting displays with different probabilities for AT non-winning and AT winning.

Specifically, when AT is won, rock-paper-scissors display is executed at a higher probability than castle search display or treasure chest display. Therefore, when the rock-paper-scissors display is performed in the AT suggesting performance, it is possible to suggest to the player that the possibility of winning the AT is higher than when the castle search display or the treasure box display is performed.

First, out of the AT suggestion effects, the case where the castle search display or the treasure box display is selected will be described. Specifically, a lottery between the correspondence display displayed on the main display portion 51 and the development suggestion display displayed on the sub-display portion 61 will be described. Note that a plurality of AT suggesting effects may be provided in addition to these.

(Correspondence display lottery)
The correspondence display can be performed based on a correspondence display lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during non-AT. FIG. 9(a) shows a correspondence display lottery table referred to in a correspondence display lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the correspondence display includes a first correspondence display in which an image of searching for a castle is displayed and a second correspondence display in which an image of a treasure chest is displayed. In the correspondence display lottery during non-AT, one correspondence display is determined from among the plurality of types of correspondence displays with different probabilities depending on whether AT is not won or AT is won.

Specifically, when AT is won, the second correspondence display is executed with a higher probability than the first correspondence display. Therefore, when the image of the treasure box is displayed in the correspondence display, it is possible to suggest to the player that the AT win is more likely than when the image of searching for a castle is displayed.

(Lottery for display of development suggestions)
The deployment suggestion display can be executed based on a deployment suggestion display lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during non-AT. FIG. 9(b) shows a development suggestion display lottery table referred to in the development suggestion display lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 9(b), the development suggestive display is a character image that prompts the player to select "castle search" or "treasure chest". In the development suggestive display lottery during non-AT, whether or not the development suggestive display is executed is determined by different probabilities depending on whether AT is not won or AT is won.

Specifically, when the AT is won, the expansion suggestion display is executed with a higher probability than when the AT is not won. Therefore, when the expansion suggestive display is executed, it is possible to suggest to the player that the AT win is more likely than when the expansion suggestive display is not executed.

Next, a case where rock-paper-scissors display is determined as the AT suggestion effect will be described. Specifically, the lottery for the image displayed on the main display section 51 and the image displayed on the sub-display section 61 will be described.

(Janken development game number lottery)
The number of rock-paper-scissors development games is determined to be one of a plurality of types of game numbers. Here, the rock-paper-scissors development game is a game displayed as “rock-paper-scissors development” on the main display section 51 . From the next game displayed as "rock-paper-scissors development", the production by the rock-paper-scissors display is started. In a plurality of games up to the rock-paper-scissors development game, a zone effect is executed in which the background image changes from a normal background to a special background. In addition, until the zone effect is started, the transition effect to the zone effect between five games is executed. In addition, in the case of AT non-winning, a pattern may be provided in which only the transition effect between the five games is executed and the zone effect is not developed.

The number of rock-paper-scissors development games can be determined based on a rock-paper-scissors development game number lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during non-AT. FIG. 10(a) shows a rock-paper-scissors development game number lottery table referred to in the rock-paper-scissors development game number lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 10A, 10 games, 11 games, and 12 games are provided as the number of rock-paper-scissors development games. In the rock-paper-scissors development game number lottery during non-AT, whether or not the development suggestive display is executed is determined by different probabilities depending on whether the AT is not won or when the AT is won.

Specifically, when the AT is won, the ratio of determining a long game number such as 11 games or 12 games as the number of rock-paper-scissors development games is higher than when the AT is not won. Therefore, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a higher possibility of winning the AT when the rock-paper-scissors-developed game is played with a long number of games than when the rock-paper-scissors-developed game is played with the minimum 10 games. can. In addition, the degree of expectation for AT winning is 42% for 10 games, 60% for 11 games, and 66% for 12 games.

In rock-paper-scissors-developed games and rock-paper-scissors-non-developed games that do not develop into rock-paper-scissors-developed games, a roulette presentation may be executed on the sub-display section 61 . In the roulette effect, an effect is executed in which one display is selected as a roulette result from a plurality of options. First, the roulette lottery in the non-developed rock-paper-scissors game will be described.

(Rock-paper-scissors undeveloped game roulette lottery)
The rock-paper-scissors non-developed game roulette can be executed based on the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game roulette lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during non-AT. FIG. 10(b) shows a rock-paper-scissors non-developed game roulette lottery table referred to in the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game roulette lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 10(b), in the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game, the ratio of whether or not the roulette is activated varies depending on the number of games. Since 10 games, 11 games, and 12 games are provided for rock-paper-scissors development games, the rock-paper-scissors non-development games are 1 to 9 games, 10 games (11 and 12 games are rock-paper-scissors development games), 11 games (12 games). is a rock-paper-scissors development game). In the rock-paper-scissors non-development game roulette lottery during non-AT, whether or not the roulette is operated is determined by different probabilities depending on whether the AT is not won or when the AT is won.

Specifically, when the AT wins, it is easier to determine whether the roulette is activated than when the AT is not won, rather than when the roulette is not activated. In addition, the percentage of games with 10 games and 11 games in which the number of games is determined to be the roulette operation is higher than the number of games in the range of 1 to 9 games. Then, when the roulette is operated, the display of "star" lights up as the display result of the roulette (the star is determined). In particular, when AT wins and the number of games is large, roulette is likely to be operated at a higher rate than when the number of games is small. Therefore, when the roulette is activated and the "star" is displayed, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a high possibility that the AT has been won.

(Rock-paper-scissors development game roulette lottery)
The rock-paper-scissors development game roulette can be executed based on the rock-paper-scissors development game roulette lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during non-AT. FIG. 10(c) shows a rock-paper-scissors-developed game roulette lottery table referred to in the rock-paper-scissors-developed game roulette lottery during non-AT.

As shown in FIG. 10(c), in the rock-paper-scissors development game, the ratio of whether or not the roulette is activated varies depending on the number of games. 10 games, 11 games, and 12 games are provided in the rock-paper-scissors development game. In the rock-paper-scissors development game roulette lottery during non-AT, whether or not the roulette is operated is determined by different probabilities depending on whether the AT is not won or when the AT is won.

Specifically, when the AT wins, it is easier to determine whether the roulette is activated than when the AT is not won, rather than when the roulette is not activated. Also, the ratio of determining that the number of games is 11 games is higher than that of 10 games, and that the number of games is 12 games is higher than that of 11 games. In particular, when AT wins and the number of games is large, roulette is likely to be operated at a higher rate than when the number of games is small. Therefore, if the roulette is activated when the number of games is large, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a high possibility of winning AT.

(Rock-paper-scissors development game roulette display content lottery)
The display content determined as the roulette display content in the rock-paper-scissors development game can be determined based on the rock-paper-scissors development game roulette display content lottery executed by the sub-control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 10(d) shows a rock-paper-scissors advanced game roulette display content lottery table referred to in the rock-paper-scissors advanced game roulette display content lottery during non-AT.

In the advanced game, when the roulette is operated, the display of "cut-in" or "heat" is lit as the display content (display result) of the roulette (cut-in or heat is determined). "Cut-in" indicates that another background will be cut-in later, and "Heat" indicates that the expectation of AT winning is higher when lit than when not lit.

Specifically, when AT wins, "cut-in" is more likely to be determined than "heat" than when AT does not win. Therefore, the cut-in display has a higher AT winning expectation than the heat display. Also, the ratio of determining that the number of games is 11 games is higher than that of 10 games, and that the number of games is 12 games is higher than that of 11 games. In particular, when an AT win is made and the number of games is 12, the number of games is likely to be determined to be "cut-in" at a higher rate than when the number of games is 10 or 11. Therefore, if it is decided to "cut in" when the number of games is large, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a high possibility of winning AT. In addition, since the roulette is more likely to be activated when the AT is won than when the AT is not won, when the roulette is activated and the heat display and cut-in display stop, the expectation of winning the AT is high. become.

(Lottery for display contents at the start of rock-paper-scissors)
In the game at the start of the rock-paper-scissors game, which is the next game of the rock-paper-scissors development game, there are cases where the characters who simply play rock-paper-scissors are displayed, and there are cases where the characters who play rock-paper-scissors are displayed after another background cut-in is executed. be. The display content determined as the display content displayed at the start of the rock-paper-scissors game on the main display unit 51 can be determined based on the rock-paper-scissors start display content lottery executed by the sub-control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 10(e) shows a rock-paper-scissors start display content lottery table referred to in the rock-paper-scissors start display content lottery during non-AT.

Specifically, when the AT is won, the pattern of displaying the character after the cut-in is executed is more likely to be determined than when the AT is not won. Further, in FIG. 10(d), when it has been determined that "cut-in" is to be displayed as the display contents of the rock-paper-scissors development game roulette, the pattern of characters only is not determined, and the cut-in is executed. The pattern for displaying the character after the display is determined at a rate of 100%. When the AT is won, the pattern is likely to be determined to display the character after the cut-in is executed at a higher rate than when the AT is not won. Therefore, when the pattern of displaying the character is executed after the cut-in is executed, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a high possibility that the AT win has been made.

[Direction lottery during AT]
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining various lottery tables relating to effects during AT. In the present embodiment, an effect executed by displaying an image on the main display section 51 is provided as an effect during AT. Effects during the AT include a first effect shown in FIGS. 25 and 26 which can be executed during the AT first state, and a second effect shown in FIGS. Includes performance. Further, the first effect includes a first fan effect in which an image of a treasure box is displayed as shown in FIG. 25, and a first confirmation effect in which an image of a heart is displayed as shown in FIG. Further, in the second effect, as shown in FIG. 27, an image of a sword is displayed as the weapon of the friendly character, and as shown in FIG. 28, an image of a star-shaped rod is displayed as the weapon of the friendly character. and a second finalized effect to be executed. A specific aspect of each effect will be described later.

(First production lottery)
The first effect can be executed based on the first effect lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during the AT first state. FIG. 11(a) shows the first effect lottery table referred to in the first effect lottery in the AT first state.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), the first effect lottery in the AT first state is executed on the condition that the special reply is won. In addition, in the first effect lottery, the first lottery is determined by different probabilities depending on whether the special response is won and life is not given by the life lottery, or the special response is won and life is given by the life lottery. Whether or not to execute an effect and the kind of the first effect to be executed are determined.

Specifically, in the game in which the special reply is won, when the life is not awarded, the first fanning effect is executed with a probability of 50%, and the first confirmation effect is not executed. On the other hand, when a life is given in a game in which a special reply is won, the first fanning performance is executed with a probability of 25%, and the first fixed performance is executed with a probability of 50%.

Thus, when the first fanning performance is executed and the image of the treasure box is displayed in the game in which the special reply is won, it is possible to fan the player whether or not the life has been given. On the other hand, when the first confirmation performance is executed and the heart image is displayed in the game in which the special reply is won, it is possible to definitely suggest to the player that the life is given. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24 to be described later, even if a life is given in a game in which a special reply is won, there is a 25% chance that the first effect is not executed, so the first effect is executed. Even if the life is not given, the player can be made to expect that the life will be given.

(Second production lottery)
The second effect can be executed based on the second effect lottery executed by the sub-controller 91 during the AT second state. FIG. 11(b) shows the second effect lottery table referred to in the second effect lottery during the AT second state.

As shown in FIG. 11(b), the second effect lottery in the AT second state is executed on the condition that the special reply is won. In addition, in the second effect lottery, the probability is different between the case where the special reply is won and the one-shot victory is not awarded by the one-shot victory lottery, and the case where the special reply is won and one-shot victory is awarded by the one-shot victory lottery. Execution/non-execution of the second effect and the type of the second effect in the case of execution are determined by.

Specifically, in a game in which a special reply is won, when a one-hit win is not given, the second fanning effect is executed with a probability of 50%, and the second fixed effect is not executed. On the other hand, in a game in which a special reply is won, when a one-hit win is given, the second fanning performance is executed with a probability of 50%, and the second fixed performance is executed with a probability of 50%.

Thus, when the second fanning performance is executed in the game in which the special reply is won, and the image of the sword as the weapon of the ally character is displayed, the player can be fanned whether or not one-shot victory is given. On the other hand, when the second confirmation effect is executed in the game in which the special reply is won and the image of the star-shaped rod is displayed as the weapon of the ally character, it definitely suggests to the player that the one-shot victory is given. be able to.

[Navigation process]
Next, navigation processing executed by the main control unit 41 will be described. The main control unit 41 can execute navigation by executing navigation processing. Here, in the present embodiment, navigation points are used to determine whether to execute navigation. Navigation points are calculated by adding additional navigation points when a predetermined condition is satisfied. If it is more than the value, navigation is not executed.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the addition navigation point table. As shown in FIG. 12, different add-on navigation points are set according to the ball-out state during AT. Specifically, the additional navigation points are set to 50 points in the first section in the first state, 10 points in the second section in the first state, 10 points in the second state, and 70 points in the ending state.

The addition navigation point is the smallest in the second section of the first state and the second state, and is the second smallest in the first section of the first state, and the largest in the ending state. As a result, the execution frequency of Bell Navi is the highest in the second section in the first state and in the second state, the second highest in the first section in the first state, and the lowest in the ending state. there is

FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing navigation processing executed by the main control unit 41 . As shown in FIG. 13, the main control unit 41 first executes an internal lottery (S2). The main control unit 41 sets a flag corresponding to the game state, and executes processing for transitioning the game state (S4). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current section state is an advantageous section (S6). When the current section state is not the advantageous section (NO in S6), the main control unit 41 shifts to processing for the normal section (S8). After that, the main control unit 41 terminates this navigation processing.

On the other hand, if the current section state is an advantageous section (YES in S6), the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the number of advantageous Gs (S10) and also adds 1 to the number of ED transition Gs (S12). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current ball-out state is different from the next ball-out state (S14). That is, the main control unit 41 determines whether the current state is different from the previous state. If the current state of ball payout is different from the state of next ball payout, that is, if the current state is different from the previous state (YES in S14), the main control unit 41 initializes the navigation point to 0 ( S16).

On the other hand, the main control unit 41 determines whether the current ball-out state is the same as the next ball-out state, that is, when the current state is the same as the previous state (NO in S14), or after S16, the current ball-out state is determined. The state is made the same as the state of the next ball to be put out (S18).

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the ball output state is AT and the ED flag is ON (S20). The ED flag is a flag indicating the ending state. When the ball output state is AT and the ED flag is ON (YES in S20), the main control unit 41 sets the additional navigation points for ED (S22). As a result, during the ending, 10pt is added as the addition point for the ending state shown in FIG.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the 6-choice bell is won (S24). When the 6-choice bell is won (YES in S24), the main control unit 41 adds to the navigation points additional navigation points according to the state of ball output as shown in FIG. 12 (S26). The main display unit 51 determines whether or not the navigation point is 100 or more (S28). When the navigation point is 100 or more (YES in S28), the main control unit 41 subtracts 100pt from the navigation point (S30).

On the other hand, when the navigation point is less than 100 (NO in S28), the main control unit 41 obtains the winning combination number corresponding to the 6-choice bell shown in FIG. An instruction number (information for performing navigation) corresponding to the operation mode is specified, and the instruction number is stored in a predetermined storage area (S32). As a result, navigation is executed with a probability of 100% in a game in which the 6-choice bell is won.

On the other hand, if the 6-choice bell has not been won (NO in S24), or after S32 or after S32, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the 3-choice bell has been won in the second section. (S34). When the ball output state is the second section and the 3-choice bell is won (YES in S34), the main display unit 51 acquires the combination number corresponding to the 3-choice bell shown in FIG. Based on the number, an instruction number (information for performing navigation) corresponding to the operation mode notified by navigation is specified, and the instruction number is stored in a predetermined storage area (S36). As a result, when the ball-out state is the second section, navigation is executed with a probability of 100% in the game in which the three-choice bell is won. In other words, when the ball-out state is the first section, navigation is not executed even if the three-choice bell is won.

On the other hand, if the ball output state is not the second section, or if the 3-choice bell is not won (NO in S34), or after S34 or S36, the life lottery wins or the hit win lottery wins. It is determined whether or not the player has won the prize and the special reply has been won (S38).

When the main control unit 41 wins the life lottery or the one-shot victory lottery and wins the special reply (YES in S38), the main control unit 41 issues an instruction number (information for navigating) corresponding to the operation mode notified by the navigation. That is, the instruction number corresponding to the reverse push is stored in a predetermined storage area (S40).

On the other hand, if the life lottery is not won or the hit win lottery is not won, or if the special reply is not won (NO in S38), or after S40, the main control unit 41 proceeds to processing for each ball output state. Move (S42). After that, the main display unit 51 terminates this navigation processing.

[Production during non-AT]
Effect during non-AT will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 23. FIG.

(Flow of production during non-AT)
14 and 15 are diagrams for explaining the flow of effects during non-AT. 16 and 17 are diagrams for explaining an example of an effect during non-AT. Also, FIGS. 18 to 20 are diagrams for explaining an example of an effect during non-AT when an AT suggestive effect different from that of FIG. 17 is executed.

As shown in FIG. 14( a ), the background display is performed in the main display section 51 in the previous game. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, an initial display is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the main display section 51 displays an image of a balloon flying in the sky as a background display. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, four types of options such as "NEXT", "CHANCE", "?", and "!" are displayed as an initial display.

After that, when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, an internal lottery is performed. At this time, it is assumed that a winning combination that triggers an AT lottery such as weak watermelon, weak cherry, or strong watermelon and strong cherry is won. In other words, in this game, the effect is used to incite the player as to whether or not he or she has won the AT lottery. Here, an example of winning a strong watermelon is shown.

As shown in FIG. 14B, when the start operation for starting the next game is performed, the background display continues on the main display section 51 . On the other hand, on the sub-display portion 61, an effect suggesting display that suggests the effect display to be performed on the main display portion 51 thereafter is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 16B, an image of a balloon flying in the sky is displayed on the main display section 51 without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, "!" is selected from options of "NEXT", "CHANCE", "?" Note that the effect suggestion display in this example corresponds to the fourth effect suggestion display shown in FIG. 8(b).

After that, as shown in FIG. 14(c), when the first stop operation is performed, the main display unit 51 displays one of a plurality of types of effect displays as a display suggested by the effect suggestive display. display is performed. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 16(c), the main display section 51 displays an image of a thundercloud. Furthermore, the shutter 52 also operates. Note that the effect display in this example corresponds to the fourth effect display shown in FIG. 8(a). On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the lighting display of "!" continues.

After that, as shown in FIG. 14D, when the second stop operation is performed, the effect display continues on the main display section 51 . On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 16D, the image of a thundercloud is displayed on the main display section 51 without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the lighting display of "!" continues.

After that, as shown in FIG. 14(e), when the third stop operation (in this example, pressing the stop switch 8R) is performed, the main display section 51 displays the result as a display following the performance display. will be On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 16(e), in the main display section 51, the image "!" An image of a suggestive watermelon pattern is displayed. Furthermore, the shutter 52 operates. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the lighting display of "!" continues.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14(f), when the third stop release (in this example, the operation of releasing the depression of the stop switch 8R) is performed, the main display section 51 continues to display the result. On the other hand, on the sub-display section 61, a development suggesting display that suggests the development of the effect in the next game is performed. It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 9(b), there is a case where the development suggestion display is not performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 16(f1), the main display portion 51 displays the image of "!" and the image of the watermelon pattern without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, a character image is displayed to prompt the user to select "castle search" or "treasure box". From FIG. 16(f1), an image as shown in FIG. 17(g) may be displayed.

Further, in FIG. 8(c), when the AT suggestion effect is determined to be rock-paper-scissors display, when the third stop release (in this example, the operation of releasing the depression of the stop switch 8R) is performed, the main display unit In 51 , the result display continues, and the sub-display section 61 also continues the effect suggestion display. Although the description in FIG. 14 is omitted, for example, as shown in FIG. image is displayed. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the lighting display of "!" continues. From FIG. 16(f2), images such as those shown in FIGS. 18(a), 19(a), and 20(a) may be displayed.

From FIG. 14(f), if the AT suggestive effect is determined to be a castle search display or a treasure chest display, then a start operation is performed to start the next game as shown in FIG. 15(g). Then, on the sub-display section 61, a selection display for selecting one of the plurality of options indicated by the development suggestion display in the previous game is performed. It should be noted that the display mode is the initial display when the expansion suggestion display is not performed in the previous game. On the other hand, on the main display portion 51, corresponding display corresponding to the option selected in the selection display performed on the sub-display portion 61 is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 17(g), in the sub-display section 61, an image of a "treasure box" is illuminated. On the other hand, the image of the treasure box is displayed on the main display section 51 so as to correspond to the selection display for selecting the “treasure box” performed on the sub-display section 61 . The correspondence display in this example corresponds to the second correspondence display shown in FIG. 9(a).

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15(h), when the first stop operation is performed, the corresponding display continues on the main display section 51, but the display mode changes. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the selection display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 17(h), the main display section 51 displays an image of a slightly opened treasure chest. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the image of the "treasure box" is lit and displayed without changing the display mode.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15(i), when the second stop operation is performed, the corresponding display continues on the main display section 51. FIG. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the selection display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 17(i), the main display section 51 displays an image of a slightly opened treasure chest without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the image of the "treasure box" is lit and displayed without changing the display mode.

After that, as shown in FIG. 15(j), when the third stop operation is performed, the main display unit 51 displays the presence/absence of privilege giving indicating whether or not the number of AT games as a privilege will be awarded. is done. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the selection display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 17(j), the main display portion 51 displays an image in which a treasure chest is opened and a cloud image with the characters "GET" appears therein. This suggests giving the number of AT games. Further, when the number of AT games is not given, an image of nothing appearing from the treasure box is displayed on the main display section 51 in the display of whether or not the privilege is given. An image indicating the number of AT games to be awarded (for example, "30G", "50G", etc.) may be displayed. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the image of the "treasure box" is lit and displayed without changing the display mode.

In this way, in the effect during non-AT, the effect performed in the main display unit 51 and the effect performed in the sub-display unit 61 are interlocked to indicate the result of the AT lottery, so that the effect is performed in different display areas. Interest in the game can be improved by synchronizing each effect to be performed.

(Pattern in which roulette operates in a rock-paper-scissors development game)
Next, the case where the AT suggesting effect is executed by rock-paper-scissors display will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 20. FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of an effect during non-AT for a pattern in which roulette operates in a rock-paper-scissors development game.

(Difference in advantage due to presence/absence of deployment suggestion display)
FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the difference in the degree of advantage depending on the presence or absence of the deployment suggestion display. FIGS. 21(a1), (b1), and (c1) show an example of a case where weak watermelon is won during non-AT, and the development suggestion display is not performed. FIGS. 21(a2), (b2), and (c2) show an example of the case where the strong watermelon is won during non-AT and the expansion suggestion display is performed.

First, an example in which correspondence display is performed without deployment suggestive display will be described. As shown in FIG. 21(a1), when the third stop operation is performed in the game in which the weak watermelon is won and the pattern combination of the downward-sloping watermelon is derived, the result is displayed on the main display section 51, and the sub- In the display section 61, an effect suggestion display is performed. After that, as shown in FIG. 21(b1), even if the third stop release is performed, both the main display section 51 and the sub-display section 61 continue the presentation mode. After that, as shown in FIG. 21(c1), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the expansion suggestion display is not performed on the sub-display section 61 in the previous game, and the main display section 51 A corresponding display is made.

Next, an example of the case where the corresponding display is performed after the development suggestive display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 21(a2), when the third stop operation is performed in the game in which the strong watermelon is won and the pattern combination of the middle watermelon is derived, the result is displayed on the main display unit 51, and the sub-display is performed. In the section 61, an effect suggestion display is performed. After that, as shown in FIG. 21(b2), when the third stop release is performed, the main display portion 51 continues the presentation mode, while the sub-display portion 61 performs the deployment suggestion display. After that, as shown in FIG. 21(c2), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the corresponding display corresponding to the development suggestion display performed on the sub-display section 61 in the previous game is changed to the main display. It is performed in the display unit 51 .

In this way, there is a non-suggested development pattern in which the corresponding display is performed in the main display section 51 without the display of the suggested deployment in the sub-display section 61, and the pattern in which the suggestive deployment display is performed in the sub-display section 61 and then the main display section 51 is displayed. There is a pattern with development suggestion in which corresponding display is performed, and the pattern with development suggestion is a pattern with a higher degree of advantage in giving a privilege than the pattern without development suggestion. For example, as shown in FIG. 9(b), in the present embodiment, in the case of winning AT, the pattern with development suggestion is likely to occur at a higher probability than in the case of non-winning AT. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the non-suggestion pattern and the pattern with development suggestion is to be played, thereby enhancing the amusement of the game.

(Differences in advantage due to differences in production display patterns)
FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the difference in the advantage due to the difference in the effect display pattern. In addition, the flow from FIG. 22(a) to FIG. 22(b1) is the case where weak watermelon is won during non-AT, and after a specific effect suggestion display is performed, the first effect display is performed as the effect display. Here is an example of when The flow from FIG. 22(a) to FIG. 22(b2) is a case where strong watermelon is won during non-AT, and after the specific effect suggestive display is performed, the second effect display is performed as the effect display. An example case is shown.

First, an example in which the first effect display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 22(a), when the start operation is performed, the background display is performed in the main display section 51, and the fourth effect suggestion display is performed in the sub-display section 61. As shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 22(b1), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is drawn to the upper row of the left reel 2L as part of the symbol combination corresponding to the weak watermelon. In the main display portion 51, a first effect display is performed. For example, an image of a snow cloud is displayed on the main display portion 51 . On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

Next, an example in which the second effect display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 22(a), when the start operation is performed, the background display is performed in the main display section 51, and the fourth effect suggestion display is performed in the sub-display section 61. As shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 22(b2), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is drawn to the middle stage of the left reel 2L as part of the symbol combination corresponding to the strong watermelon. In the main display section 51, a second effect display is performed. For example, the main display section 51 displays an image of a thundercloud. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

In this way, the sub-display section 61 performs the same effect display as the first effect display performed in the main display section 51 after the specific effect suggestive display (the fourth effect suggestive display in this example) is performed in the sub-display section 61. A second effect display may be performed in the main display section 51 after a specific effect suggestive display (in this example, a fourth effect suggestive display) is performed. The degree of advantage in granting the privilege is higher than when the display is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8(a), in the present embodiment, when AT is won, the second effect display is likely to be performed at a higher probability than the first effect display. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the first performance display and the second performance display is to be performed after one performance suggestion display is performed, and to improve the amusement of the game.

(Differences in advantage due to differences in the pattern of the display suggestive of production)
FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining the difference in the advantage due to the difference in pattern of effect suggestion display. FIGS. 23(a1) and (b1) show an example of a case where weak watermelon is won during non-AT and a specific effect display is performed after the first effect suggestive display is performed as the effect suggestive display. 23(a2) and (b2) show an example of a case where a strong watermelon is won during non-AT and a specific effect display is performed after the second effect suggestion display is performed as the effect suggestion display. show.

First, an example in which the first effect suggestion display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 23(a1), when the start operation is performed, the background display is performed in the main display section 51, and the first effect suggestion display is performed in the sub display section 61. As shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 23(b1), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is drawn to the upper stage of the left reel 2L as part of the symbol combination corresponding to the weak watermelon. In the main display portion 51, a fourth effect display is performed. For example, an image of a snow cloud is displayed on the main display portion 51 . Furthermore, the shutter 52 operates. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

Next, an example in which the second effect suggestion display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 23(a2), when the start operation is performed, the background display is performed in the main display section 51, and the second effect suggestion display is performed in the sub display section 61. As shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 23(b2), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is drawn to the middle row of the left reel 2L as part of the symbol combination corresponding to the strong watermelon. In the main display portion 51, a fourth effect display is performed. For example, the main display section 51 displays an image of a thundercloud. Furthermore, the shutter 52 operates. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

In this way, after the first effect suggesting display is performed on the sub-display portion 61 , the specific effect display (in this example, the fourth effect display) is performed on the main display portion 51 , and the second effect display is performed on the sub-display portion 61 . After the effect suggestion display is performed, a specific effect display (in this example, the fourth effect display) may be similarly performed on the main display unit 51, and when the second effect suggestion display is performed, the first effect suggestion is performed. The degree of advantage in granting the privilege is higher than when the display is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8(b), in the present embodiment, when AT is won, the second effect suggestion display is likely to be performed at a higher probability than the first effect suggestion display. Therefore, when the same specific effect display is performed after different effect suggestive displays are performed, the player is asked whether the effect is via the first effect suggestive display or the second effect suggestive display. It is possible to make the player pay attention and improve the amusement of the game.

[During AT]
Effect during AT will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 to 28. FIG.

(An example of the case where there is no first effect during the first state during AT)
FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect when the first effect is not executed in the first state during AT. 24(a) to (e1) show an example of a case where a special reply is won and a life is awarded in the AT first state. FIGS. 24(a) to (e2) show an example of winning the pressing order bell in the AT first state.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the AT state 1, in the display area of the main display unit 51, a remaining G number area 51a indicating the number of remaining games in the AT first state and a life number indicating the number of lives currently possessed are displayed. A number area 51b is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 24(a), the main display portion 51 displays an effect image corresponding to the AT first state. For example, in this example, an effect image showing a character flying in space is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 24(b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, a navigation image ("3", "2", "1" in this example) prompting a reverse push is displayed as a navigation effect. ) is displayed on the main display section 51 . In addition, such reverse push navigation is performed when a special reply is won and a life is given. In addition, such reverse push navigation is also performed when the 6-choice bell 6 among the pushing order bells is won. For this reason, even if reverse push navigation is performed, the player will not know whether the special reply is won and a life is given, or whether the push order bell is won. It has become unrecognizable.

As shown in FIGS. 24(c1) and (d1), when a special reply is won and a life is given, the first stop operation is performed, and then the second stop operation is performed. derived. It should be noted that both the main display portion 51 and the sub-display portion 61 do not change the presentation mode.

As shown in FIG. 24(e1), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbols are aligned upward to the right, and the BAR reply wins. Further, in the main display portion 51, an effect image in which the character catches the heart corresponding to the life, and a text image of "LIFE GET" are displayed. This series of effects corresponds to the case where the first effect shown in FIG. 11(a) is not performed.

In this way, while the reverse push navigation corresponding to the special reply winning is performed, there is a pattern in which the first effect is not performed. is given to the player. As a result, it is possible to provide the player with an unexpected game.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 24(c2) and (d2), when the pressing order bell is won, the first stop operation is performed, and then the second stop operation is performed to derive the bell pattern. It should be noted that both the main display portion 51 and the sub-display portion 61 do not change the presentation mode.

As shown in FIG. 24(e2), when the third stop operation is performed, the bell patterns are arranged in the middle row and the middle bell wins. It should be noted that both the main display portion 51 and the sub-display portion 61 do not change the presentation mode.

In this way, even if the special reply is won and life is awarded, even if the push order bell is won, there is a pattern in which reverse push navigation is performed. The player can be made to pay attention to the performance when performing the stop operation.

(An example of the case where the first fan effect is performed during the first state during AT)
FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect when the first fan effect is executed in the first state during AT. 25(a) to (e1) show an example of a case where a special reply is won and a life is awarded in the AT first state. FIGS. 25(a) to 25(e2) show an example of winning a fake riff in the AT first state.

As shown in FIG. 25(a), the main display section 51 displays an effect image corresponding to the AT first state. For example, in this example, an effect image showing a character flying in space is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 25(b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, a navigation image ("3", "2", "1" in this example) prompting a reverse push is displayed as a navigation effect. ) is displayed on the main display section 51 . In addition, such reverse push navigation is performed when a special reply is won and a life is given. In addition, such reverse navigation may be performed even when a fake clip is elected. Therefore, even if reverse navigation is performed, the player cannot recognize whether the special reply is won and a life is given, or whether the fake reply is simply won. It's like

Furthermore, in the main display section 51, a large image of the treasure box is displayed. As shown in FIG. 11(a), when a special reply is won and a life is given, a first hype effect in which such an image of a treasure box is displayed may be performed. Further, even when the fake clip is won, such a treasure chest image similar to the first hype effect may be displayed as a so-called fake effect. Therefore, even if the image of the treasure box is displayed, the player cannot recognize whether the special reply has been won and a life has been granted, or whether the fake reply has been won. It's like

After that, as shown in FIG. 25(c), when the first stop operation is performed, a BAR symbol appears on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and an image of a smaller treasure box is displayed on the main display section 51. FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 25(d), when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is drawn to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and an image of a slightly opened treasure chest is displayed on the main display section 51. FIG. In this way, even when the special reply is won and life is given, and even when the fake reply is won, the BAR pattern is arranged upward to the right, and the effect on the main display section 51 is the same. Therefore, the player cannot recognize whether the special reply is won and a life is given, or whether the fake reply is simply won.

When the special reply is won and a life is given, as shown in FIG. BAR pattern is aligned. Further, in the main display portion 51, an effect image in which a heart corresponding to the life appears in the treasure box and a character image of "Life GET" are displayed.

On the other hand, when the fake rip is won, as shown in FIG. 25(e2), when the third stop operation is performed, the replay symbols are drawn to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the BAR symbols do not align upward to the right. Further, the main display portion 51 displays an effect image indicating that the inside of the treasure chest is empty. No life is granted in this case.

In this way, even if the special reply is won and life is awarded, and even if the fake reply is won, a common effect is performed and a common effect is performed until the third stop operation is performed. Since the navigation is performed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the effect when the third stop operation is finally performed.

(An example of the case where the first fixed effect is performed during the first state during AT)
FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect when the first fixed effect is executed in the first state during AT. It should be noted that FIG. 26 shows an example in which a special reply is won and a life is awarded in the AT first state.

As shown in FIG. 26A, the main display portion 51 displays an effect image corresponding to the AT first state. For example, in this example, an effect image showing a character flying in space is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 26(b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, a navigation image ("3", "2", "1" in this example) prompting a reverse push is displayed as a navigation effect. ) is displayed on the main display section 51 .

Furthermore, in the main display section 51, a large heart image corresponding to the life is displayed. As shown in FIG. 11(a), only when the special reply is won and life is given, the first confirmation effect in which such a heart image is displayed may be performed. This can definitely suggest to the player that a life will be awarded.

After that, as shown in FIG. 26(c), when the first stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol appears on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and an image with a smaller heart is displayed on the main display section 51. FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 26(d), when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is drawn to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and an image with a smaller heart is displayed on the main display portion 51. FIG.

After that, as shown in FIG. 26(e), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbols are drawn to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the BAR symbols are aligned upward to the right. Furthermore, in the main display portion 51, a performance image is displayed in which the character catches the heart.

In this way, if the special reply is won and the life is granted, an effect that confirms that the life will be granted may be performed. can bring joy to others.

(An example of the case where the second fan effect is performed during the second state during AT)
FIG. 27 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect when the second fan effect is executed in the second state during AT. FIG. 25(a) to (e1) show an example of winning the special reply in the AT second state and winning by one blow. FIGS. 25(a) to 25(e2) show an example of winning a fake riff in the AT first state.

As shown in FIG. 27A, the main display section 51 displays an effect image to the effect that a friendly character has been defeated by an enemy character in a battle held in a certain game. Further, the main display portion 51 displays a life number area 51b indicating the number of lives currently possessed and an HP area 51c indicating the physical strength (HP) of the enemy character. At this point, the player has two lives.

In the battle, if all the HP of the enemy character is lost, the allied character wins. Also, in a battle, a friend character attacks or an enemy character attacks according to the result of an internal lottery. For example, when winning a small role such as normal bell, the ally character attacks, and when winning a replay role such as normal replay, the enemy character attacks. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, only when the special reply is won, the enemy character's HP is completely lost, and the ally character wins.

As shown in FIG. 27(b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, one life is consumed to start the next battle. At this time, as a navigation effect, a navigation image (in this example, a number image of "3", "2", and "1") is displayed on the main display section 51 to prompt reverse pressing. In addition, such reverse push navigation is performed when a special reply is won and a one-shot victory is given. In addition, such reverse navigation may be performed even when a fake clip is elected. For this reason, even if reverse push navigation is performed, the player recognizes whether the special reply is won and a one-shot victory is given, or whether the fake reply is simply won. It is not possible. Further, in the main display section 51, an image is displayed in which a friend character and an enemy character face each other. The ally character is equipped with a sword as a weapon.

After that, as shown in FIG. 27(c), when the first stop operation is performed, a BAR pattern is drawn out on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and a friendly character holding a sword fights an enemy character on the main display section 51. An image is displayed to the effect that there is After that, as shown in FIG. 27(d), when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is drawn to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the effect mode continues on the main display portion 51. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11(b), when a special reply is won and a one-shot victory is given, an image is displayed to the effect that such a friendly character is fighting an enemy character with a sword. There is a case where a second fanning production is performed. In addition, even when the fake riff is won, an image similar to the second fanning effect of fighting an enemy character with a sword may be displayed as a so-called fake effect. For this reason, even if an image is displayed to the effect that a friendly character is fighting an enemy character with a sword, is it a case where the special reply is won and a one-shot victory is given, or is it simply a case where the fake reply is won? The player cannot recognize whether or not it is.

When the special reply is won and the one-shot victory is awarded, as shown in FIG. The BAR pattern is aligned on the top. Also, in the main display section 51, a production image in which a friendly character attacks an enemy character by brandishing a sword, and a character image of "WIN" are displayed. Furthermore, in the HP area 51c, the HP of the enemy character is completely gone.

After that, since the ally character won the battle, the state shifts from the second state to the first state again, and lives are accumulated again in the first state.

On the other hand, when the fake rip is won, as shown in FIG. 27(e2), when the third stop operation is performed, the replay symbols are drawn to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the BAR symbols do not align upward to the right. Furthermore, in the main display portion 51, an effect image is displayed in which the friend character is attacked by the enemy character. In this case, since the enemy character does not fall, the next game in the second state is started. Then, the game continues in the second state until the life runs out.

In this way, even if the special reply is won and a one-shot victory is given, or even if the fake reply is won, a common effect is performed until the third stop operation is performed, and Since common navigation is performed, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect when the third stop operation is finally performed.

(An example of the case where the second fixed effect is performed during the second state during AT)
FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect when the second fixed effect is executed in the second state during AT. Note that FIG. 28 shows an example in which a special reply is won in the AT second state and a one-shot victory is awarded.

As shown in FIG. 28(a), the main display section 51 displays an effect image to the effect that a friendly character has been defeated by an enemy character in a battle held in a certain game. Further, the main display portion 51 displays a life number area 51b indicating the number of lives currently possessed and an HP area 51c indicating the physical strength (HP) of the enemy character. At this point, the player has two lives.

As shown in FIG. 28(b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, one life is consumed to start the next battle. At this time, as a navigation effect, a navigation image (in this example, a number image of "3", "2", and "1") is displayed on the main display section 51 to prompt reverse pressing. Further, in the main display section 51, an image is displayed in which a friend character and an enemy character face each other. A friend character is equipped with a star-shaped rod as a weapon.

After that, as shown in FIG. 28(c), when the first stop operation is performed, the BAR pattern is drawn out on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and the ally character holding the star-shaped rod appears as the enemy character in the main display section 51. An image of the battle is displayed. As shown in FIG. 11(b), only when the special reply is won and a one-shot victory is given, the second confirmed effect in which the image of the ally character holding such a star-shaped rod is displayed. may be done. This can definitely suggest to the player that a one-hit win will be awarded.

After that, as shown in FIG. 28(d), when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is drawn to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the effect mode continues on the main display portion 51. FIG.

After that, as shown in FIG. 28(e), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbols are drawn to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the BAR symbols are aligned upward to the right. Further, in the main display section 51, an effect image in which a friendly character attacks an enemy character with a special move using a star-shaped rod, and a character image of "WIN" are displayed. Furthermore, in the HP area 51c, the HP of the enemy character is completely gone.

After that, since the ally character won the battle, the state shifts from the second state to the first state again, and lives are accumulated again in the first state.

In this way, if the special reply is won and the one-shot victory is granted, an effect that confirms that the one-shot win will be granted may be performed. , the player can enjoy pleasure.

[Main effects]
Next, main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.

(1-1) A gaming machine (for example, a slot machine 1, a pachinko gaming machine) for playing games,
a first display area (for example, main display section 51) for displaying an image;
A second display area (for example, a sub display unit 61) that displays an image,
The effect display performed in the first display area (for example, the main display section 51) includes a specific effect display (for example, rock-paper-scissors start display) that informs whether or not a privilege (for example, AT) is given as a result of the effect. ) and a specific suggestive display (for example, rock-paper-scissors development display) that suggests that the specific effect display will be performed,
The effect display performed in the second display area (for example, the sub-display section 61) includes a first display (for example, heat display) and a second display (for example, cut-in display),
Each of the first display and the second display may be performed (for example, , as shown in FIGS. 18(e) and (g), each of the heat display and the cut-in display may be performed when the rock-paper-scissors development display is performed),
When either the first display (for example, heat display) or the second display (for example, cut-in display) is performed in the second display area (for example, sub display section 61), the first display and the second display (for example, cut-in display) are performed. The degree of expectation regarding the privilege is higher than when neither of the second displays is performed (for example, when either the heat display or the cut-in display is performed, the AT winning expectation is higher than when neither is performed), In addition, when the second display is performed, the degree of expectation regarding the privilege is higher than when the first display is performed (for example, when the cut-in display is performed, it is higher than when the heat display is not performed). Expectations for winning AT are high),
In the second display area (for example, sub-display section 61), before the specific suggestive display (for example, rock-paper-scissors development display) is performed in the first display area (for example, main display section 51), the first A pre-suggestion display (roulette display) that suggests that either the display or the second display is performed is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. A roulette display is performed indicating that either a heat display or a cut-in display will be performed before).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 18(e) and 18(f), the effect display displayed on the main display unit 51 includes rock-paper-scissors start as a specific effect display for informing whether or not AT is given. A display and a rock-paper-scissors development display suggesting that a rock-paper-scissors start display is to be performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 10D, the effect display displayed on the sub-display section 61 includes heat display and cut-in display. As shown in FIGS. 18(e) and (g), each of the heat display and the cut-in display may be performed when the rock-paper-scissors development display is performed. As shown in FIG. 10, when the roulette is activated and either the heat display or the cut-in display is performed, the AT winning expectation is higher than when it is not performed, and when the cut-in display is performed, the heat display is performed. Expectations for AT winning are higher than before. Then, as shown in FIG. 18(d), a roulette display indicating that either the heat display or the cut-in display will be performed before the rock-paper-scissors development display is performed on the main display section 51). As a result, when the rock-paper-scissors development display suggesting development is executed, the heat display or the cut-in display is displayed on the sub-display section 61, so that the amusement can be improved. In addition, by performing roulette display, it is possible to create expectations for heat display or cut-in display. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest in the performance when suggesting development.

(1-2) In the gaming machine of (1-1) above,
The specific effect display is performed in the first display area and the second display area (for example, rock-paper-scissors start display is performed in the main display portion 51 and the sub-display portion 61), and the specific effect display is performed. Neither the first display nor the second display is performed (for example, when the characters are displayed together with the rock-paper-scissors start display on the main display section 51, and the friendly character vs. the enemy character is displayed on the sub-display section 61). , no heat display or cut-in display).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18( f ), the rock-paper-scissors start display is performed on the main display portion 51 and the sub-display portion 61 , and the characters are displayed together with the rock-paper-scissors start display on the main display portion 51 . When ally character VS enemy character is displayed in 61, neither heat display nor cut-in display is displayed. As a result, attention can be drawn to the effect when the rock-paper-scissors start display is executed.

(1-3) In the gaming machine of (1-2) above,
During the period of multiple games before the specific effect display is performed, the first display and the second display are always performed in the second display area (for example, as shown in FIGS. 18B to 18E). Furthermore, the heat display and the cut-in display are always performed on the sub-display section 61 during a plurality of game periods before the rock-paper-scissors start display is performed).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 18(b) to 18(e), the sub-display section 61 always displays options of "Heat", "Cut-in", and "Star" during the period during which the zone effect is being performed. there is As a result, the possibility of displaying one of the options that are always displayed can be suggested during a plurality of game periods before the specific effect display is performed, and the interest in the game is improved.

(1-4) In the game machines (1-1) to (1-3) above,
the first display (for example, heat display) is a display suggesting the degree of expectation regarding the privilege (for example, heat display is a display indicating that AT winning expectation is high);
The second display (for example, cut-in display) is a display showing the content of the effect that will be executed later (for example, the cut-in display is a display that shows that a cut-in will be executed later).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10(c), when AT wins, roulette is easier to operate than when AT does not win. When the roulette wheel is activated, the display of "heat" is likely to appear, so it can be said that the heat display is a display indicating that the expectation of winning the AT is high. Further, as shown in FIGS. 18(g) and (h), when the roulette is stopped with the cut-in display, the background image of the fruit pattern is cut-in in the next game. , can be said to be a display indicating the content of the effect to be executed later.

(1-5) In the gaming machines (1-1) to (1-4) above,
When it is not suggested that the specific effect display will be performed in the first display area (as shown in FIG. is not suggested), a third display different from the first display and the second display (for example, a star display different from the heat display and the cut-in display) may be performed in the second display area. can be,
When the third display is performed, the degree of expectation regarding the privilege is higher than when the third display is not performed (for example, as shown in FIG. Thus, when the AT is won, the roulette is more likely to be determined to be active than when the AT is not won, and when the roulette is activated in the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game, the stars are displayed, so the stars are displayed. At that time, the expectation of AT winning is high).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10(b), as shown in the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game roulette lottery table, when the AT is won, the roulette is determined to be active more than when the AT is not won. Since the stars are displayed on the sub-display unit 61 when the roulette is activated in the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game, the AT win expectation is high when the stars are displayed. As a result, in both the rock-paper-scissors development game and the rock-paper-scissors non-development game, the degree of AT winning expectation is suggested in the sub-display part 61, so that the player's attention is directed to the main display part 51 and the sub-display part 61 at a plurality of timings. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(1-6) In the gaming machines (1-1) to (1-5) above,
During the multiple games before the specific effect display is performed, the background is switched to a special background (for example, as shown in FIGS. 18B to 18E, during the multiple games before the rock-paper-scissors display is performed , switches to a zone background as a special background),
For the period from switching to the special background to performing the specific effect display, one period is selected from a plurality of predetermined periods (for example, as shown in FIG. 10(a), the zone background Any period of 10 games, 11 games, or 12 games is selected as the number of games from switching to the Janken display.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 18(b) to 18(e), during the period of multiple games before the rock-paper-scissors display is performed, the background is switched to a zone background as a special background, and as shown in FIG. 10(a) Second, the number of games from switching to the zone background to developing to the rock-paper-scissors display is selected from 10 games, 11 games, and 12 games. As a result, since there are a plurality of games until the game progresses to the rock-paper-scissors display, attention can be paid to when the game progresses. In particular, according to the relationship between the number of rock-paper-scissors development games and the AT winning expectation level shown in FIG. 10A, the greater the number of games, the higher the AT winning expectation level. .

(1-7) In the gaming machine of (1-5) or (1-6) above,
During the period of the plurality of games, the first game number for which the specific indication may be displayed (for example, the 10th or 11th game for which the rock-paper-scissors development display may be performed) and the specific indication. There is a second game number game in which there is no possibility that
The ratio of the third display being performed is higher in the game of the first game number than in the game of the second game number (for example, as shown in FIG. Roulette is activated and stars are displayed more frequently than games 1 to 9).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the 10th game and 11th game in which the rock-paper-scissors development display may be performed are higher than the 1st to 9th games in which the rock-paper-scissors development display may not be performed. Roulette is activated and the rate of star display is high.

The pattern with the development suggestion has a higher degree of advantage in granting benefits than the pattern without the development suggestion (for example, when the development suggestion display is performed, the AT lottery likely to win).

Specifically, there is a non-suggested development pattern in which the corresponding display is performed in the main display section 51 without the display of the suggested deployment in the sub-display section 61, and a pattern in which the suggestive deployment display is performed in the sub-display section 61 and then the main display section. There is a pattern with development suggestion for which correspondence is displayed at 51, and the pattern with development suggestion has a higher probability of winning in the AT lottery than the pattern without development suggestion. As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the non-suggestion pattern and the pattern with development suggestion, and to improve the amusement of the game.

(2-8) In the gaming machine of (2-7) above,
In the case of the pattern with development suggestion, the corresponding display is performed in the first display area in the next game, and in the case of the pattern without development suggestion, the corresponding display is performed in the first display area in the next game. may be performed (for example, the display mode of the main display portion 51 and the sub display portion 61 shown in FIG. 21),
In the case of the pattern with the development suggestion, the degree of advantage in giving benefits is higher than in the pattern without the suggestion of development (for example, when the display of the suggestion of development is performed, it is more advantageous than when the display of the suggestion of development is not performed). , the probability of winning in the AT lottery is high).

Specifically, there is a non-suggested development pattern in which the corresponding display is performed in the main display section 51 without the display of the suggested deployment in the sub-display section 61, and a pattern in which the suggestive deployment display is performed in the sub-display section 61 and then the main display section. There is a pattern with development suggestion for which corresponding display is performed at 51, and the pattern with development suggestion has a higher probability of winning in the AT lottery than the pattern without development suggestion. As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which of the non-suggestion pattern and the pattern with development suggestion, and to improve the amusement of the game.

(2-9) In the game machines (2-1) to (2-8) above,
A case where the first effect display among the effect displays is performed in the first display region after a specific effect suggestion display out of the effect suggestion displays is performed in the second display region (for example, FIG. 22(a) ), pattern shown in (b1)), and when the second effect display among the effect displays is performed in the first display area after the specific effect suggestion display is performed in the second display area (for example, , patterns shown in FIGS. 22( a ) and ( b 2 )), the degree of advantage with respect to awarding of benefits is different (for example, when the second effect display is performed, compared to when the first effect display is performed, The probability of winning in the AT lottery is high).

Specifically, a case where the first effect display is performed on the main display portion 51 after a specific effect suggestive display (in this example, a fourth effect suggestive display) is performed on the sub-display portion 61; Similarly, after a specific effect suggestive display (in this example, a fourth effect suggestive display) is performed, the main display section 51 may perform a second effect display. The probability of winning the AT lottery is higher than when the performance display is performed. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to which of the first performance display and the second performance display will be performed after one performance suggestion display is performed, and the interest in the game can be improved.

(2-10) In the game machines (2-1) to (2-9) above,
A case where a specific effect display among the effect displays is performed in the first display area after a first effect suggestive display out of the effect suggestive displays is performed in the second display area (for example, FIG. 23 (a1 ), pattern shown in (b1)), and when the specific effect display is performed in the first display area after the second effect suggestive display among the effect suggestive displays is performed in the second display area ( For example, the patterns shown in FIGS. 23(a2) and (b2)) differ in the degree of advantage with respect to granting of benefits (for example, when the second effect suggestion display is performed, when the first effect suggestion display is performed The probability of winning the AT lottery is higher than that).

Specifically, a specific effect display (in this example, a fourth effect display) is performed on the main display portion 51 after the first effect suggestion display is performed on the sub-display portion 61, and After the second effect suggesting display is performed, a specific effect display (in this example, the fourth effect display) may also be performed on the main display unit 51, and when the second effect suggesting display is performed, the first effect display is performed. The probability of winning the AT lottery is higher than when the suggestive display is performed. As a result, when the same specific effect display is performed after the different effect suggestive displays are performed, the player is asked whether the effect is via the first effect suggestive display or the second effect suggestive display. It is possible to make the player pay attention and improve the amusement of the game.

Note that the techniques described in (2-1) to (2-10) above may be applied to a so-called pachinko game machine. For example, in a pachinko game machine, a jackpot, a probability fluctuation state in which the probability of occurrence of a jackpot is higher than usual, and the time from rotation to stop of symbols is shortened or lottery is performed in a short time, or As a benefit, control to a state that is advantageous to the player, such as a time-saving state in which a prize-winning support (so-called electric chew support) is performed at the starting gate by opening a normal electric accessory (electric tulip, etc.) be able to. Moreover, it can be said that the higher the probability of winning in these states, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the expected value of the game ball to be awarded is, the higher the advantage of the privilege is. Furthermore, in the case of a pachinko game machine, the above-described effect display may be performed in one or a plurality of times of variable display executed when the hold for the variable display of the symbols is completed. In the case of suggesting a big hit as a privilege by a pre-reading notice of a hold scheduled to be consumed later, the above-described effect display may be performed.

(3-1) Equipped with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable,
In a slot machine (e.g., slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variably displayed, and a prize can be awarded according to the display result,
State control means (for example, by the main control unit 41) for controlling to one of a plurality of types of states including a first state (for example, the first state shown in FIG. 3) and a second state (for example, the second state shown in FIG. 3) state control),
In the first state, a right (for example, life) that can be consumed in the second state can be granted based on the derivation of a specific display result (for example, a BAR reply won in the first state life is sometimes granted),
In the second state, the state is controlled again from the second state to the first state based on the derivation of the specific display result (for example, when the BAR reply wins in the second state, the state is changed to the first state). and state are controlled again),
In the first state, a first effect suggesting derivation of the specific display result (for example, a first stirring effect shown in FIG. 25 and a first confirmation effect shown in FIG. 26) is executed,
In the second state, a second effect suggesting the derivation of the specific display result (for example, the second stirring effect shown in FIG. 27, the second confirmation effect shown in FIG. 28) is executed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 25 to 28, a life is acquired in the first state during AT, and by consuming the acquired life, a friendly character and an enemy character are displayed in the AT second state. When the enemy character is defeated, the state can be shifted to the first state again. In addition, in the first state, life is granted when the BAR pattern is aligned to the right and wins the BAR description, and in the second state, when the BAR pattern is aligned to the right and wins the BAR description, A character wins a battle. Furthermore, in the first state, it is suggested that the BAR reply is won by executing the first fanning effect or the first fixed effect, and in the second state, the second fanning effect or the second fixed effect is executed. By doing so, it is suggested that you will win the BAR Lip. Thus, in both the first state and the second state, it is important for the player to win the BAR reply, and it is possible to attract the player's attention to whether or not the BAR reply wins. can. Furthermore, since an effect suggesting winning of the BAR description is performed so as to correspond to each of the first state and the second state, the interest in the game can be improved. As a result, by providing a game rich in playability, the interest in the game can be improved.

(3-2) In the slot machine of (3-1) above,
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive display results;
an informing means (for example, a process of performing navigation by the main control section 41 and the sub-control section 91) for informing the operation mode (for example, navigation) of the operation mode (for example, order of operation, operation timing) of the derivation operation means; further comprising
In a specific game from which the specific display result is derived (for example, a special reply winning game), the operation mode notification is performed,
The specific game in which the first effect is executed and the specific game in which the second effect is executed have the same operation mode notified by the operation mode notification (for example, in FIGS. 25 to 28 As shown, in both the game in which the first stimulus effect and the first confirmed effect are executed in the first state and the game in which the second stimulus effect and the second confirmed effect are executed in the second state, the reverse push navigation is performed. is done).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 to 28, a game in which a first stimulating effect and a first confirmed effect are executed in the first state, and a second stimulating effect and a second confirmed effect are executed in the second state. Reverse push navigation is performed with the game that is played. As a result, it is possible to more easily attract the player's attention to the fanning performance or the confirmation performance suggesting the winning of the BAR descriptor, which is performed corresponding to each of the first state and the second state.

(3-3) In the slot machine of (3-2) above,
In the specific game in the first state, a pattern in which the first effect is executed (for example, a pattern in which the first fan effect shown in FIG. 25 and a pattern in which the first fixed effect is performed in FIG. 26) and the first effect is not executed (for example, a pattern in which the first effect shown in FIG. 24 is not performed),
In the specific game in the second state, while there is a pattern in which the second effect is executed (for example, a pattern in which a second fan effect shown in FIG. 27 and a pattern in which a second fixed effect is performed in FIG. 28), the There is no pattern in which the first effect is not executed (for example, see FIG. 11).

Specifically, in the first state, the first effect may not be executed even when life is awarded, while in the second state, the second effect is always performed when the one-shot victory is awarded. executed. As a result, in the first state, the life may be given without executing the first performance, so that a game with unexpectedness can be provided, and in the second state, the second performance other than the navigation is provided. can attract the player's attention.

(3-4) In the slot machines (3-1) to (3-3) above,
Equipped with a start operation means operated to start a game,
The first effect includes a first confirmation effect that is executed when the start operation means is operated and that is executed only when the specific display result is derived, and the specific display result. (For example, the first stirring effect shown in FIG. 25 and the first fixed effect shown in FIG. 26, see FIG. 11 (a)), which is executed regardless of whether it is derived or not.
The second effect includes a second confirmation effect that is executed when the start operation means is operated and that is executed only when the specific display result is derived, and the specific display result. It includes a second fan effect that is executed regardless of whether it is derived (for example, the second fan effect shown in FIG. 27 and the second fixed effect shown in FIG. 28, see FIG. 11(b)).

Specifically, in the first state, either a first confirmation effect in which it is determined that the BAR reply will win a prize at the time of the start operation or a first fanning effect in which the BAR reply does not win a prize is executed, and in the second state, At the time of the start operation, either a second fixed performance in which winning of the BAR descriptor is determined or a second fanning performance in which the BAR descriptor does not win is executed. Thus, in each of the first state and the second state, it is possible to provide the player with a wide variety of effects.

(3-5) In the slot machines (3-1) to (3-4) above,
The conditions for granting the right in the first state include conditions that are established based on the derivation of the specific display result (for example, special reply winning),
conditions that are satisfied based on the derivation of the specific display result have a higher probability that the right is granted in the first state than other conditions (see, for example, FIGS. 7B and 7C);
The conditions for the state to be controlled again from the second state to the first state include conditions (for example, special reply winning) that are established based on the derivation of the specific display result,
Conditions that are satisfied based on the derivation of the specific display result have a higher probability that the state will be controlled from the second state to the first state again than other conditions (see, for example, FIG. 7(d)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7(b) and 7(c), in the life lottery performed in the AT state 1, among the lottery conditions, winning a weak watermelon, winning a weak cherry, or winning a strong watermelon, The expected value of life given per 1 G is higher for the special response winning than for the rare role winning such as the strong cherry winning. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7(d), in the one-hit win lottery performed in the AT state 2, among the lottery conditions, rare roles such as weak watermelon winning, weak cherry winning, or strong watermelon winning or strong cherry winning The probability of one-shot victory per 1G is higher in the special reply winning than in the winning. As a result, in both the first state and the second state, since winning the special reply is the main condition for giving benefits, the player's attention is focused on whether or not the BAR reply wins. can be collected.

(3-6) In the slot machines (3-1) to (3-5) above,
A plurality of the variable display units are provided,
The first effect is a effect that suggests granting of the right by changing each time the variable display of each of the plurality of variable display units stops (for example, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the first 1 production changes for each of the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation),
The second effect is a effect that changes less each time the variable display of each of the plurality of variable display units stops than the first effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 effect changes for each of the first stop operation and the third stop operation, but does not change for the second stop operation).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 to 28, since the first effect executed in the AT first state changes each time the stop operation is performed, the player is encouraged to change the effect for each stop operation. I can let you do it. On the other hand, the second effect executed in the AT second state does not change for each stop operation, and the effect does not change for the second stop operation. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to pay attention to the final result of the performance by reducing the impetus until the result of the performance is finally suggested by performing the third stop operation. .

(3-7) In the above slot machines (3-1) to (3-6),
The first state includes a first section in which the expected value of the net increase in the gaming value in one game is a first value (for example, about 1 card/G), and the net increase in the gaming value in one game. and a second section in which the expected value is a second value higher than the first value (for example, a net increase of about 5 sheets/G),
The right can be granted in both the first section and the second section (for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the life lottery can be won in both the first section and the second section). .

Specifically, in the AT first state, a first section and a second section are provided as sections in which the number of net increase in medals per game differs from each other. It is possible to win a life lottery, and a life may be granted. As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fact that life is awarded by winning the BAR reply in both the first section and the second section.

(3-8) In the slot machine of (3-7) above,
In the first section, the expected value of granting the right in one game is higher than in the second section (as shown in FIG. 7, in the AT first state, the number of net additions of medals per 1 G is lower). The first section of is easier to win in the life lottery than the second section, which has a higher net increase in the number of medals per G).

Specifically, in AT state 1, the first section with a lower net increase in medals per G is more likely to be elected in the life lottery than the second section with a higher net increase in medals per G. easy. As a result, in the game in the first section, the player's attention can be more focused on the fact that life is awarded.

(3-9) In the slot machine of (3-7) above,
derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive display results;
an informing means (for example, a process of performing navigation by the main control section 41 and the sub-control section 91) for informing the operation mode (for example, navigation) of the operation mode (for example, order of operation, operation timing) of the derivation operation means; further comprising
In the specific game from which the specific display result is derived, the operation mode notification is performed (for example, in a game in which the special reply is won, reverse push navigation is performed for winning the BAR reply),
In the first section, the probability that the specific display result is derived when the operation mode notification is performed is higher than in the second section (for example, the first section is more likely than the second section to be some kind of navigation system). is done, there is a high probability of winning a BAR reply).

Specifically, in the first section, Bell Navi occurs less frequently than in the second section. , Since there is a high frequency of reverse push navigation to win a BAR reply for a special reply, when some navigation is performed, the probability that the navigation is for winning a BAR reply for a special reply is higher in the first interval than in the second interval. In this way, the interest in the game can be improved by differentiating the ratio of winning the BAR reply when the navigation occurs between the first section and the second section.

(4-1) Equipped with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be individually identified,

State control for controlling to any one of a plurality of types of states including a first state (for example, the first section shown in FIG. 3) and a second state (for example, the second section shown in FIG. 3) in which the operation mode notification is performed Means (for example, a process for controlling the state by the main control unit 41),
The determination result of the pre-determining means includes a specific determination result (e.g., 6-choice bell win) that allows derivation of a specific award display result (e.g., middle bell) accompanying the awarding of game values (e.g., medals). included,
In the game in the first state, when the decision result of the pre-decision means becomes the specific decision result, a notification point (for example, navigation point) at the start of the game and a first value (for example, 50pt) Based on and, an operation (for example, addition) is performed (for example, the process of S26 in FIG. 13),
In the game in the second state, when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the specific determination result, a notification point (for example, navigation point) at the start of the game and a second value different from the first value A calculation (eg, addition) is performed (eg, the process of S26 in FIG. 13) based on the binary value (eg, 10pt),
When the result of the calculation becomes a predetermined result (for example, NO in S28 of FIG. 13, navigation point <100), an operation mode notification corresponding to the specific determination result is performed (for example, the processing of S32 in FIG. 13). ) On the other hand, when the result of the calculation does not become the predetermined result (for example, YES in S28 of FIG. 13, navigation point≧100), the operation mode notification corresponding to the specific determination result is not performed (for example, , the process of S30 in FIG. 13).

Specifically, in the game in which the 6-choice bell is won, 50 points are added in the first state to the navigation points at the start of the game (navigation points inherited from the previous game), and in the first state, 10pt is added. When the addition result is less than 100, navigation is performed, while when it is 100 or more, navigation is not performed. In this way, by adding different addition points for each state, it is possible to vary the occurrence frequency of navigation, so that it is possible to facilitate the progress of the game as designed in consideration of the net increase.

In addition, if it is decided by lottery whether or not to perform navigation, navigation may not be performed even in a game in which the 6-choice bell is won for the first time when controlled by the AT, but in this embodiment. As in the form, when deciding whether to execute navigation by adding additional points, by setting the additional points to less than 100pt, the 6-choice bell will appear for the first time when controlled by AT. It is also possible to ensure that navigation is always performed in the winning game. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the navigation is not executed for a long period of time despite being controlled by the AT, thereby preventing the player from feeling dissatisfied.

(4-2) In the slot machine of (4-1) above,
In the game in the first state, when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the specific determination result, an operation is performed to add the first value to the notification points at the start of the game (for example, FIG. 13 S26 process),
In the game in the second state, when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the specific determination result, an operation is performed to add the second value to the notification point at the start of the game (for example, FIG. 13 S26 process),
When the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation is less than a specific value (for example, NO in S28 of FIG. 13, navigation point <100), the operation mode notification corresponding to the specific determination result is performed (for example, Processing of S32 in FIG. 13) On the other hand, when the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation is equal to or greater than the specific value (for example, YES in S28 in FIG. 13, navigation point≧100), the operation mode notification is performed. (for example, processing of S30 in FIG. 13).

Specifically, in the game in which the 6-choice bell is won, 50 points are added in the first state to the navigation points at the start of the game (navigation points inherited from the previous game), and in the first state, 10pt is added. When the addition result is less than 100, navigation is performed, while when it is 100 or more, navigation is not performed. In this way, by adding different addition points for each state, it is possible to vary the occurrence frequency of navigation, so that it is possible to facilitate the progress of the game as designed in consideration of the net increase.

(4-3) In the slot machine of (4-2) above,
When the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation is less than the specific value (for example, NO in S28 of FIG. 13, navigation point <100), the decision result number corresponding to the specific decision result is acquired and acquired. The instruction number based on the determination result number is stored in a predetermined storage area for use in the operation mode notification (for example, the process of S32 in FIG. 13).

Specifically, in a game in which the 6-choice bell is won, the result of adding a predetermined additional point to the navigation points at the start of the game (navigation points inherited from the previous game) is less than 100 points. , the combination number corresponding to the six-choice bell is acquired, and the instruction number (information for performing navigation) corresponding to the operation mode notified by the navigation based on the combination number is specified, and the instruction number is Stored in a predetermined storage area. As a result, since the command number is determined based on the win number, it is possible to ensure the certainty of the operation mode notified by the navigation.

(4-4) In the slot machine of (4-2) above,
When the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation becomes equal to or greater than the specific value, a calculation is performed to subtract the specific value (for example, 100pt) from the notification point (for example, the process of S30 in FIG. 13). Therefore, the instruction number is not stored in the predetermined storage area.

Specifically, in a game in which the 6-choice bell is won, the result of adding a predetermined additional point to the navigation point at the start of the game (navigation point inherited from the previous game) is 100pt or more. , 100pt is subtracted and navigation is not performed. As a result, the navigation points can be organized for the navigation processing of the next game and thereafter, and the efficiency of the navigation processing can be improved.

(4-5) In the above slot machines (4-1) to (4-4),
In the determination result of the pre-determining means, a predetermined award display result different from the specific award display result (for example, a combination of symbols of a bell falling to the right) is given as an award display result accompanied by the award of a game value (for example, winning a small winning combination). ) that allows the derivation of
The predetermined decision result is a decision result with a lower degree of advantage than the specific decision result (for example, the number of payouts for the role corresponding to the main character is less than that of winning a 6-choice bell);
When the decision result of the pre-determination means is the predetermined decision result in the first state, the operation mode notification is not performed, while in the second state the decision result of the pre-determination means is the predetermined decision. When a result is obtained, the operation mode notification is always performed (for example, the processes of S34 and S36 in FIG. 13).

Specifically, when winning the 3-choice bell, which is the leading bell that pays out fewer medals than the middle bell, which is the main character when the 6-choice bell is won, the navigation will be activated on the condition that it is the second section. done. As a result, in the second section, navigation is performed when the three-choice bell is won, which is not performed in the first section, so that the number of net increase in medals in the second section can be increased more than in the first section.

(4-6) In the slot machines (4-1) to (4-5) above,
When it is determined that the game state is different from the previous game state, a process of initializing the notification points is performed (for example, S16 in FIG. 13).

Specifically, if the current state is different from the previous state, the navigation point is initialized to 0. As a result, the navigation points in the previous state of putting out balls are not taken over, so that the inconvenience that navigation does not occur due to the winning of the 6-choice bell when the state of putting out balls is changed is minimized. can be done.

(4-7) In the slot machines (4-1) to (4-6) above,
When a specific condition is satisfied (for example, the number of ED transition Gs reaches 1400G), controlled to a specific state (for example, ending state) until the termination condition is satisfied,
In the specific state, the expected value of the net increase in gaming value in one game is lower than in the second state (for example, in the ending state, the additional navigation stock is set to 70 points, which is higher than in other AT states. , and the execution frequency of Bernavi is lower than in other AT states).

Specifically, the additional navigation points are the smallest for the second section in the first state and the second state, which are the same, followed by the smallest for the first section in the first state, and the largest for the ending state. Therefore, as for the execution frequency of Bell Navi, the second section in the first state and the second state are the same and the highest, the first section in the first state is the next highest, and the ending state is the lowest. there is As a result, in the ending state where the advantageous section ends when the number of advantageous G reaches the upper limit of 1500 games, the net increase in medals can be reduced more than in other AT states, and the ending state can be improved. Don't give too much advantage.

Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Modifications of the above embodiments applicable to the present invention will be described below.

(About lottery timing of each lottery table)
In the present embodiment, the case where each lottery is executed when watermelon or cherry is won as the lottery condition has been described. However, if watermelon or cherry is won during the zone production, the lottery for the production may be executed again. For example, when an effect corresponding to AT non-winning is executed, if AT is won by winning a rare role during zone effect, the content of the effect to be executed after that is the effect corresponding to AT winning. do it.

(Regarding the timing of the production display)
In the present embodiment, the timing at which the rock-paper-scissors display is displayed on the main display unit 51 and the timing at which the heat display and the chance display are displayed on the sub-display unit 61 are the timings of the third stop, which is the final stop operation. . However, the display may be made at other timings. For example, the display on the main display section 51 may be set at the timing of the second stop, and the display on the sub-display section 61 may be set at the timing of the third stop. Note that the timing of display on the main display portion 51 and the sub-display portion 61 may be the same. Also, the degree of expectation for the award of the privilege may be varied depending on the timing of display.

(About roulette display)
In the present embodiment, a case has been described where the roulette display is always displayed during the zone effect. However, the roulette display may be erased during the zone presentation. For example, when a rare combination is won during the zone effect, the roulette display may be erased by executing the effect using the main control section 51 and the sub-display section 61 .

Also, the roulette display may not be displayed normally, and may be displayed only when the lottery condition for the effect is won. In such a case, the roulette wheel may be displayed when the winning game is started, and the roulette wheel may be stopped by the final stop of the stop switch. Further, a display other than the roulette display may be used as long as a plurality of options are prepared. For example, an effect of drawing a lottery from a box may be executed. In such a case, the contents of the box may be made invisible so that one of a plurality of options can be selected as an effect.

(Regarding roulette error display)
The roulette display in the present embodiment may be provided with a losing display indicating a simple losing. It should be noted that the out-of-order display may not be provided during the zone presentation.

(About star display)
In the present embodiment, the description has been given of the case where only the stars are displayed as the roulette stop display during the rock-paper-scissors non-developed game. However, the display displayed on the roulette when rock-paper-scissors is not developed may include a plurality of displays other than stars. Further, the ratio of the plurality of types to be displayed may differ depending on the degree of AT winning expectation. Also, the degree of AT win expectation may differ depending on the number of times displayed.

(About pachinko machines)
In the present embodiment, an example applied to a slot machine has been described, but various effects of the present invention may be applied to a pachinko game machine. For example, when applied to a pachinko machine, as a production in the latent mode that executes a common production in a probability variable state and a non-variable probability state (a state that is not a variable probability state) that is advantageous to the player, production in the zone A roulette display or the like may be performed.

(About movable parts)
Although the shutter 52 is exemplified as the movable portion in this embodiment, other movable portions may be used. For example, the movable section may be a display section provided in the vicinity of the main display section 51 (for example, on the side or above) and capable of displaying an image. Alternatively, the movable part may be a lighting part such as an LED lamp provided in the vicinity of the main display part 51 (for example, on the side or above) that can light and blink.

(About rights)
In this embodiment, life is exemplified as a right, but other rights may be used. For example, the right may be a companion of a friendly character who participates in a battle that takes place in the AT second state. In other words, it is also possible to gather fellow characters in the first AT state, and then battle with enemy characters while consuming the fellow characters in the second AT state. In addition, the right may be to increase the ability (physical strength, offensive power, defensive power, etc.) of the ally character in the battle (second state), or may be a weapon or item used in the battle.

In the present embodiment, the right (life in this embodiment) could not be acquired in the AT second state, but the right may be acquired in the AT second state. Also in the second state of AT, a lottery may be conducted to determine whether or not to grant the right.

(About the ending state)
In the present embodiment, the advantageous interval is managed by the number of games, such as the advantageous interval ending when the number of advantageous Gs reaches 1500 games, but the number of games is not limited to this. For example, the advantageous section may end when the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit number (for example, 3000). In this case, for example, the game may be controlled to the ending state when the net increase in number of medals in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number (for example, 2800).

(About calculation of navigation points)
In the present embodiment, by adding additional navigation points to the current navigation points, it is determined whether or not the added navigation points reach a specific value (100 points in this embodiment). , but not limited to this. For example, calculations for navigation points are not limited to addition, and may be other calculations (subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.). Further, navigation may be performed when the calculated navigation point reaches less than a specific value, while navigation may not be performed when the calculated navigation point is equal to or greater than the specific value.

(About performance during AT)
In the present embodiment, in the AT first state, the first fan effect is performed at the time of the start operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first fan effect may be performed at the time of the first stop operation or at the time of the second stop operation. Further, when the presence/absence of life being granted is notified at the time of the third stop release, the first fan effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the first fanning effect may be performed at any timing until the presence/absence of granting of the right is finally notified.

In the present embodiment, in the AT first state, the first confirmation effect is performed at the time of the start operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first confirmation effect may be performed at the time of the first stop operation or at the time of the second stop operation. Further, when the presence/absence of giving a life is suggested at the time of releasing the third stop, the first confirmation effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the first finalized effect may be performed at any timing until it is finally suggested whether or not the right is granted.

In the present embodiment, in the AT second state, the second fan effect is performed at the time of the first stop operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second fan effect may be performed at the time of the start operation or at the time of the second stop operation. Further, when the result of the battle is suggested at the time of the third stop release, the second fan effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the second fan effect may be performed at any timing until the result of whether or not the control to the first state is finally suggested.

In the present embodiment, in the AT second state, the second confirmation effect is performed at the time of the first stop operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second confirmation effect may be performed at the time of the start operation or at the time of the second stop operation. Further, when the result of the battle is suggested at the time of the third stop release, the second confirmation effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the second finalization effect may be performed at any timing until the result of whether or not to finally control to the first state is suggested.

In the present embodiment, in the AT second state, the second fanning effect and the second confirmation effect change at the time of the first stop operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the same way as in the case of the second stop operation, the second inciting effect and the second confirmation effect do not change from the effect in the start operation even in the case of the first stop operation, but change in the case of the third stop operation. There may be.

(About benefits)
In the present embodiment, the number of AT games that can be given during non-AT has been exemplified as a privilege, but it is not limited to this. For example, in the case of slot machines, benefits include first-class special bonuses such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), second-class special bonuses such as CB (challenge bonus), AT (assist time) that informs the operation mode (press order, operation timing) of the stop switch in order to generate advantageous winning, CZ (chance zone) that the probability that the state is controlled by the AT is higher than usual, and An example of a right to control to an advantageous state for the player, such as an advantageous section including AT and CZ, can be exemplified. Further, when the privilege is RB, BB, or CB, it can be said that the higher the probability of winning these bonuses, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the bonus with which the medals to be given are expected to be awarded, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Further, when the privilege is AT or CZ, it can be said that the higher the probability of winning in these advantageous sections, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the advantage of the privilege is higher as the winning section is higher in which the expected value of medals to be awarded is higher.

In addition, in the case of pachinko machines, as benefits, there are bonuses such as a jackpot, a probability fluctuation state in which the probability of a jackpot occurring is higher than usual, and a shortened time from the rotation of the pattern to the stop, or a lottery in a short time. The right to control in a state that is advantageous to the player, such as a time-saving state in which the opening of a normal electric accessory (electric tulip, etc.) is supported to win a prize at the starting gate (so-called electric chew support). can be exemplified. Moreover, it can be said that the higher the probability of winning in these states, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the expected value of the game ball to be awarded is, the higher the advantage of the privilege is.

Various configurations, various processes, timings of various processes, and the like in the present embodiment and modified examples described above can be appropriately combined.
