[Basic Operation of Slot Machine 10]
The control unit 25b of the main control board 25 and the control unit 26b of the sub control board 26 perform the basic operation of the game as follows.
First, the basic gaming states RT, AT, and ART will be described.
RT is an abbreviation for replay time. In the embodiment, there is a low RT state and a high RT state in which the probability of winning the replay role is determined.
The low RT state is a low replay probability in which the winning probability of the replay player in the internal lottery process is low, and in the gaming state (replay low probability gaming state) in which the player's earned medals are hard to increase even if the game is continued. is there.
The state of the high RT state is a high replay probability in which the winning probability of the replay player is higher than that of the low RT state, and is a gaming state in which the player's earned medals are easily increased (replay high probability gaming state).
A transition from the low RT state to the high RT state is made as the combination of symbols corresponding to the promoted replay role is stopped and displayed by being elected to the promoted replay role. Similarly, a transition from the high RT state to the low RT state is made as the combination of symbols corresponding to the fall fall replay role is won by being won as the fall fall replay role.

  Note that, at the time of setting reset or the like, it may be set to RT0 which is a low replay probability. From RT0 to the low RT state, for example, stop display (a stop display such as pushing order bell or the like) of a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination or stop display (a combination of push combinations not corresponding to a predetermined winning combination) It is designed to make the transition easily by the display of the bell and the like (the stop display of the spilled eye).

AT is an abbreviation of assist time, and for example, at the time of winning a small combination or a replay role, a symbol serving as an indication of eye contact is notified or the operation order of the stop buttons 14a to 14c is navigated, It is a game state which assists a prize such as a small role or a replay role.
ART is an abbreviation of Assist Replay Time, and by combining RT and AT, the probability of winning a Replay combination is set high, and a gaming state in which the winning combination of a small combination or Replay combination is assisted is achieved. .

At the start of each game, medals (including credit medals) are used to set the number of multiplications.
There are a method of setting the number of times by inserting a medal directly from the medal insertion slot 11 and a method of pressing the bet button 12 for setting.

In the method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 11, the number of multiplications corresponding to the number of medals for insertion (however, the number of multiplications "3" corresponding to three medals is the upper limit) is set.
The upper limit of the number of multiplications may be "1", "2", or "4" or more.

  The method of depressing and operating the bet button 12 is an example of operation means capable of accepting the operation of the player relating to the setting of the number of bets. When the bet button 12 is operated, a predetermined number (for example, three) of medals are subtracted from the credit medals, and the subtracted amount is set as the multiplication number. The credit medals are added by medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 11 or winning, and can be credited (stored) up to 50 medals as internal data, for example.

As described above, the number of multiplications set by the medal insertion to the medal insertion slot 11 or the depression operation of the bet button 12 is stored in the storage unit 25 a of the main control board 25.
Then, when the number of multiplications reaches a predetermined number (for example, three), the game can be started to hold the right to perform one game.

In the state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 13 is effective. In this effective state, when the start lever 13 is tilted, the game is started. In the embodiment, the operation of the start lever 13 in a state where the operation of the start lever 13 is valid is also referred to as “game start operation”. The reels 20a to 20c start fluctuating in response to the reception of the game start operation, and the reels 20a to 20c stop drawing the lottery result of the current game from among a plurality of winning combinations (including losing) such as replay role and small role. An internal lottery process which is previously determined is executed.
In the internal lottery process, the winning combination of the current game is determined from the plurality of winning combinations based on a predetermined winning probability.
In the present embodiment, the internal lottery process is completed before the reels 20a to 20c reach steady rotation, but may be completed before the reels 20a to 20c start to rotate.

  Each of the reels 20a to 20c gradually increases its rotational speed from the stopped state, and then reaches steady rotation which rotates at a constant speed. When such steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 14a to 14c provided corresponding to the respective reels 20a to 20c are in a state where the pressing operation is possible (activation of the stop button operation).

  The stop buttons 14a to 14c are an example of operation means for performing stop operations of the reels 20a to 20c. For example, the light emitting means such as LEDs incorporated in the stop buttons 14a to 14c can be pressed and operated. It becomes a state. In such a state, when each stop button 14 is pressed, the reels 20a to 20c are stop-controlled so as to stop at a combination of symbols allowed by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process. . The stop button 14 is provided corresponding to each of the reels 20a to 20c, and can receive an operation for stopping the symbol.

As a result of determining the combination of symbols stopped on the pay line after the third reel stop operation, when it is a combination of predetermined symbols, it is determined to be a winning, and a gaming value according to the combination of symbols is awarded.
The third reel refers to the reel on which the stop operation is performed at the final third operation when the stop operations of the three reels 20a to 20c are performed a total of three times. Further, “after the third reel stop operation” means after the point when the player releases a finger or the like from the stop button 14 which has been operated to stop the third reel.

As an example of the game value, a small winning combination is determined by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small winning combination, and the medal payout device 19 is driven and controlled, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the medal payout opening 19a.
In addition, although the payout of medals can be configured such that only the amount exceeding the upper limit number of credit medals is paid out, by operating a predetermined button or the like in advance, a prize is dealt each time a prize is generated. Can be configured to be paid out.

In the stopped state, three vertically continuous symbols displayed on each of the reels 20a to 20c are visibly stopped from the outside of the machine (also referred to as "stopped display"), and based on the stopped display mode at this time, winning is achieved. The presence or absence is determined.
The control unit 25b determines the winning based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the payline of the middle row (the middle of the three consecutive symbols in the vertical direction). The number of winning lines is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a total of five lines of the upper, middle and lower three lines and two diagonal lines, or one or more of these five lines. May be

The combination of the symbols to be determined corresponds to, for example, a "small combination", a "replay combination" or the like.
As a combination of symbols corresponding to "small part", for example, it has the role of Bell, the role of rare, and the like.
"Bell bell bell" is set in the order of "reel 20a (left), reel 20b (middle), reel 20c (right)" on the pay line as a combination of symbols corresponding to "bell role" . The “bell” may be set to a winning probability such that two medals per game increase during the ART.
Further, the "bell combination" has "common bell" in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of pressing order, and "pushing order bell (described later)" in which combinations of symbols are aligned in accordance with pressing order.
As a combination of symbols corresponding to the role of rare, for example, a role of cherry, a role of watermelon and the like are set. The combination of the cherry pattern is "Cherry ANY ANY" (where ANY is any pattern), and the combination of the watermelon pattern is "watermelon watermelon".

When the combination of symbols corresponding to the "replay combination" is stopped, the replay winning combination is determined, and it becomes possible to play a game without inserting medals in the next game, that is, without spending medals.
Combinations of symbols corresponding to the "replay role" include "replay, replay, replay" (usually replay), "7, 7, 7" (promotional replay), "replay, replay bell" (falling replay), etc. .

The pushing order will be described.
The pushing order is the operation order of the stop buttons 14a to 14c.
The "bell combination" is operated as one of a plurality of push sequences (for example, "14a.fwdarw.14b.fwdarw.14c", "14c.fwdarw.14b.fwdarw.14a", etc.) as a winning combination notifying the push order. Thus, the combination of symbols corresponding to the role of bell ("bell bell bell") has a "pushing bell" to stop.
Furthermore, the "pushing order bell" can be provided with, for example, "pushing order bells 1 to 6" corresponding to six pushing orders. In this case, notification of the push order corresponding to each of the “push order bells 1 to 6” is given during the ART (including during the AT).
In addition, during AT, the operation order of the stop buttons 14a to 14c is informed based on the winning of the "push order bell", and in addition to this, in the ART, the "replay role" is easily aligned .

As an example of notification of push order, for example, when “push order bell 1” is won among “push order bells 1 to 6” in “ART” and “AT” (when the stop button 14 is “14 a → 14 b → 14 c When the operation (special operation) is performed in the order of “1”, when the combination of symbols corresponding to “pushing order bell 1” is stopped), the main display unit 22 changes “1” from “left” to “right”. 2 ”,“ 3 ”, etc. (see FIG. 8B etc.), and the speaker 18 outputs the respective voices in the order of“ left ”,“ middle ”and“ right ”. In the embodiment, the operation display displayed on the main display unit 22 or the like is also referred to as pushing order navigation (special operation information).
As described above, the operation information notification means such as the main display unit 22 and the speaker 18 navigate the operation on the stop button 14.
By the player operating the stop button 14 according to this navigation, the combination of symbols corresponding to the "pushing order bell 1" is stopped and displayed, the specified number of medals is paid out, and the player is paid a profit. Is granted.

  On the other hand, when the "push order bell 1 to 6" is won, when the stop button 14 is operated without following the above navigation, the combination of the symbols corresponding to the "push order bell 1 to 6" It will not stop and the specified number of medals will not be paid out.

Similarly, the "replay combination" has a "pushing order replay" in which a combination of symbols corresponding to the replaying combination is stopped and displayed according to one of the plurality of pushing sequences on the stop buttons 14a to 14c.
Furthermore, “pushing order replay” can be provided, for example, “pushing order replay 1 to 6” corresponding to each of the six pushing orders. In this case, notification of the pushing order corresponding to each of the winning order Replays 1 to 6 is given during the ART (including during the AT).
Then, when each "pushing order replay" is won during "ART", the pushing order notification corresponding to each can be performed by the same method as the above "pushing order bell combination".
Also in this case, when the player operates the stop button 14 in accordance with the navigation, the combination of symbols corresponding to the “pushing order replay” is stopped and displayed, and the player is given a profit.
The above-mentioned "promotional replay role" and the "normal replay role" are won in duplicate. If it is stopped and displayed in one pressing order at the time of this double winning, the combination of symbols corresponding to the "promotion replay role" is stopped and displayed, and if it is displayed stopped in the other pressing order, "normal replay role" The combination of the symbols corresponding to "" is stopped and displayed.
In addition, the “falling replay role” and the “normal replay role” mentioned above are won in duplicate. When the stop display is performed in the pressing order of one at the time of the double winning, the combination of the symbols corresponding to the "falling replay role" is displayed in the stop, and when the stop display is displayed in the other pressing order, the "normal replay role The combination of the symbols corresponding to "" is stopped and displayed.

  The mode in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed by the operation of the player as described above is not limited to the pressing order, and may be accompanied by, for example, eye pushing. In this case, the symbols corresponding to these may be displayed on the main display portion 22 or the like (see the watermelon symbol image 30 d or the like in FIG. 8C). Then, the control unit 25b supports the winning combination by the player performing the stop operation of each of the reels 20a to 20c at the timing when the same symbol as the symbol displayed on the main display unit 22 or the like stops on the payline. Stop display of the combination of symbols.

[Flow of gaming in slot machine 10]
An example of the flow of the game in the slot machine 10 of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6, 7 and the like.
The control unit 25b of the main control board 25 and the control unit 26b of the sub control board 26 can control the slot machine 10 to a plurality of gaming states, and control various processes in each gaming state and transition between gaming states It is simply referred to as "transition" etc. as follows.
As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the game of the slot machine 10 of the embodiment includes a plurality of gaming states of a normal state, a CZ state, and an ART state. The control units 25b and 26b can be controlled to shift from one gaming state to another gaming state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition.
In the normal state, CZ state, non-ART control is performed. In the CZ state, it is basically controlled by the AT. In ART state, it is basically controlled by ART.

In addition, the game of the slot machine 10 has a normal section and an advantageous section. These sections are divided by the game state.
The normal section includes a section which can be played in the normal state.
The advantageous section continues to stay until returning to the normal section again after shifting from the normal section to another gaming state.
The advantageous sections include sections that can be played in the CZ state and the ART state. The control unit 25b counts (counts) the number of continuously executed games while staying in the advantageous section. When the gaming state is in the advantageous section, the advantageous state lamp 16 is turned on.

After the transition to the advantageous section, in order to end the advantageous section, the condition of "the number of continuous games in the advantageous section has reached 1,500 times" needs to be satisfied.
The end condition of the advantageous section is an example, and may include, for example, that "at least one push order bell has been notified". In addition, when the winning combination of various bonus is set, the above-mentioned end condition of the advantageous section, for example, “the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped and displayed,” The combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination of (regular bonus) may be stopped and displayed. Further, the upper limit of the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section may be other than 1,500.

The outline of each gaming state is as follows. The RT type changes depending on promotion replay and the like even while staying in the same gaming state, but basically, it is set as follows.
Normal State The RT type in the normal state is basically the low RT state. That is, the normal state is a gaming state where it is easy to stay in the low RT state. Therefore, the game in the normal state is disadvantageous for the player.
CZ state The RT type of the CZ state is basically the low RT state. However, the CZ state is controlled by an AT that reports push-through navigation when it is elected, although it does not notify push-through navigation when the "push-through replay role" is won. Further, during the stay in the CZ state, since the ART transition lottery process (described later) is performed in each game, it is easier to shift to the ART state than in the normal state. For this reason, in the series of game flows, the CZ state is positioned more advantageously than the normal state.

-ART state The RT type at the time of first transition to the ART state is basically the low RT state, but in the ART state, it is easy to be promoted to the high RT state by winning the promotion replay role. The ART state is more advantageous for the player than the normal state and the CZ state, since the high RT state is expected to increase the number of earned medals.
The winning probability of the push order replay player in the ART state is basically a fixed probability corresponding to the high RT state. For this reason, even in the prognostic game (see S62b), the promotion determination game (see S62c), and the sergeant game (see S63b) described later, the winning probability of the push-to-play replay role is basically constant.

[Details of each gaming state]
Each gaming state, transition processing between gaming states, and the like will be described in detail.
Hereinafter, when there is no particular description, the transition time point from each gaming state to another gaming state is basically after the third reel stop operation of the game for which the transition condition is satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the transition condition is established, the game may shift from the next game.

(Normal state)
As shown in FIG. 6, while staying in the normal state, the control unit 25b performs the transition lottery process to the CZ state and the ART state. It should be noted that the normal state may not be shifted directly to the ART state according to the specification of the slot machine 10 or the like.
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the normal state, the upper display unit 21 is disposed at the upper position. In addition, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at the open position. For this reason, the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 is largely exposed.
The main display unit 22 displays the female character C1 in the center display area 22C. Similarly, the lower display unit 24 displays the female character C1. These displays are effects indicating that the gaming state is the normal state.

· Transition processing to the CZ state: arrow # 1a in FIG.
The control unit 25 b performs, for example, a transition lottery process to the CZ state based on the winning of the predetermined rare combination. The condition for transition to the CZ state is that this transition lottery has been won.
The gaming state in the normal state may have a low probability state or a high probability state in which the probability of winning in the CZ state is different. The winning probability of the transition lottery is higher in the high probability state than in the low probability state. In this case, the low probability state is shifted to the high probability state based on the winning of the predetermined rare combination, while the predetermined falling condition (for example, that the predetermined winning combination is won) is established. The high probability state may be shifted to the low probability state.

· Transition process to ART state: arrow # 1b in FIG.
The transition condition to the ART state is, for example, that a combination of predetermined winning combinations (for example, "7, 7, 7") is stopped and displayed. When the condition for transition to the ART state is established, one set number (described later) is given to the player, and the number of held sets becomes one. In this case, the control unit 25b may perform a lottery process for adding the number of sets.

(CZ state)
The CZ state is positioned as a chance zone in a series of game flows because it is easier to shift to the ART state while in the CZ state than in the normal state.
The number of possible games in the CZ state is five at maximum.
The control unit 25b is controlled by the AT in the CZ state, but does not notify the pushing order even when winning the promoted replay role, so that the low RT state is basically maintained.
As shown in FIG. 8B, in the CZ state, the upper display unit 21 is disposed at the upper position, as in the normal state. Further, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at the closed position.
In the CZ state, the open / close display units 23L and 23R integrally display a clown character C2a. The lower display unit 24 also displays the character C2b of "clown time". These displays are effects indicating that the gaming state is the CZ state.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are placed in the closed position when they are elected to a winning combination (pushing order bell etc.) with pushing order navigation 30a, 30b and 30c. Then, the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, 30c are displayed. The center push order navigation 30b is displayed across the open / close display units 23L and 23R.
As shown in FIG. 8C, when the main display unit 22 wins the rare role accompanied by the eye contact, the main display unit 22 displays a symbol corresponding to the rare role in the left display area 22L. The left display area 22L displays, for example, a watermelon symbol image 30d, an image associated with watermelon, etc., when the winning combination of the part corresponding to the combination of “watermelon, watermelon, watermelon” is selected.

  Further, the upper display unit 21 displays the number of remaining games in the CZ state. The number of remaining games is decremented each time a game is executed.

In the CZ state, the ART transition lottery process is performed in each game.
The winning probability of the ART transition lottery process is set according to the winning combination of each game. The winning probability of the ART transition lottery process is, for example, 90% at the time of winning the rare role, 30% at the time of winning the bell role and at the time of winning the replay role, and 5% at the time of winning the losing role. The winning probability of the ART transition lottery process for a part or all of the winning combinations may be other than the above. Further, although the ART transition lottery process is performed when the bell combination is won, the ART transition lottery process may be performed based on the winning of the symbol corresponding to the bell combination.

(CZ production)
Control unit 25b performs the CZ effect lottery process according to the lottery result of the ART transition lottery process. The CZ effect lottery process is a process for drawing a CZ effect from among no effect and CZ effect 1 to 3. As described later, the CZ effect is an effect that causes the player to have an expectation for ART winning.
As shown in FIGS. 4 (A) and 4 (B), in the CZ effect lottery process, the CZ effect lottery table (when ART not elected) is selected when the ART transition lottery process is not won. Referring to T1a, on the other hand, in the case of being won, the CZ effect lottery table (when ART is won) T1b is referred to.

As shown in both tables T1a and T1b, the expectation of ART winning (that is, the probability of winning in ART) is no effect <CZ effect 1 <CZ effect 2 <CZ effect 3.
That is, in the case of ART non-winning, the CZ effect is selected from among no effect and CZ effect 1 and 2. On the other hand, in the case of ART winning, any CZ effect will be performed.
By performing the lottery process based on the two tables T1a and T1b, if ART is won, one of the effects is produced. Further, in the case of no effect, it is determined that the ART has not been won, while in the case of the CZ effect 3, it is determined that the ART has been won.

The CZ effect is performed after the third reel stop operation of the game for which the CZ effect lottery process has been performed.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the CZ effect, an operation instruction is issued to the player (FIGS. 9A to 9C), and by receiving the operation, the effect display of the ART transition lottery process is performed. Is executed (FIG. 9D, FIG. 9E). The operation instruction urges the player to perform an operation for causing the slot machine 10 to perform the effect operation of the result display.

The operation instructions of each of the CZ effects 1 to 3 are as follows.
(A) CZ effect 1: FIG. 9 (A)
The open / close display units 23L and 23R display a button image C11 or the like imitating the effect button 15 having substantially the same size as the effect button 15 over both display screens. The player may operate the effect button 15 in accordance with this operation instruction as an operation for starting the effect operation.

(B) CZ effect 2: FIG. 9 (B)
The left display area 22L of the main display section 22, the open / close display sections 23L and 23R, and the right display area 22R of the main display section 22 display a large button image C12 imitating the effect button 15, etc. across these display screens. . The button image C12 is extremely larger than the button image C11. The player may operate the effect button 15 in accordance with this operation instruction as an operation for starting the effect operation.

(C) CZ effect 3: FIG. 9 (C)
The left display area 22L of the main display unit 22 and the open / close display unit 23L display an image C13a imitating the shape of the slot machine 10 across both display screens. The open / close display units 23L and 23R display, for example, an arrow image C13b indicating a portion corresponding to the lower display unit 24 in the image C13a. The right display area 22R of the main display unit 22 displays an arrow image C13c pointing to the lower display unit 24. The lower display unit 24 switches from the character C2b of "clown time" and displays a large character 13d of "PUSH". The player may operate the lower display portion button 24 a in accordance with these operation instructions as the operation of starting the rendering operation. The lower display unit 24 is in a state where the pressing operation can be performed by controlling the actuator 24 c in response to an operation instruction of the CZ effect 3.
As described above, the CZ effects 1, 2 and 3 stand out in this order, and the player's expectation for ART transfer increases in this order as well.

Each display unit performs an effect of informing the lottery result of the CZ effect lottery process when the operation of start of the effect operation is performed in a state where each operation instruction of CZ effect 1, 2 and 3 is instructed.
As shown in FIG. 9D, when the result of the ART transition lottery process is ART non-winning, the open / close display units 23L and 23R display a character C14 of "lost". In this case, if the number of remaining games in CZ remains, the upper display unit 21 updates the number of remaining games as described above. If the result of the ART transition lottery process is ART non-winning, the character C14 etc. may not be displayed to notify the player that ART non-winning is made.

  As shown in FIG. 9E, when the ART transition lottery process results in ART winning, the left display area 22L of the main display unit 22, the open / close display units 23L and 23R, and the right display of the main display unit 22 are displayed. The area 22R displays the character C15a of "ART confirmed !!" indicating ART winning over these display areas. Further, the upper display unit 21 switches from the number of remaining games, and displays a letter C15 b "V" indicating ART winning. Therefore, even if the main display unit 22 or the like breaks down, the player can be notified of the ART winning result.

As shown in FIG. 6, from the CZ state, the state transitions to the ART state and the normal state.
· Transition process to ART state: Arrow # 2a in FIG.
The transition condition to the ART state is that the player has won in the ART transition lottery process. The control unit 25b shifts to the ART state after an effect (see FIG. 9E) performed subsequently to the game in which the transition condition to the ART state is satisfied. Each of the display units 20 to 24 is changed to the display of the ART state when transitioning to the ART state.
In the case of transition from the CZ state to the ART state, one set number is given to the player, and the possession set number is one, as in the case of transition from the normal state to the ART state. Moreover, you may perform the lottery process for adding the number of sets.

· Transition processing to the normal state: arrow # 2 b in FIG. 6
The transition condition to the normal state is that the game has been completed five times in the CZ state without winning in the ART transition lottery process. Each display part 20-24 is changed into the display of a normal state at the time of transfering to a normal state.

(ART state)
In the ART state, 50 games can be executed per set. In the ART state, one of the tiger stage, the rattan stage and the cow stage (game state) is controlled. If one player holds one or more sets at the end of one game, the ART state is continued.
While staying in the ART state, a lottery for addition of the number of sets held (continuation right) is performed. Note that the number of sets held is the number of rights that allow the player to continue the ART state.
As will be described later, the degree of expectation for the increase in the number of sets is "Tiger Stage <Samurai Stage <Cattle Stage". For this reason, the stage advantageous to the player is also "Tiger Stage <Samurai Stage <Cattle Stage".

In the normal state of the ART state, each of the display units 20 to 24 performs the following display. Note that the normal state of the ART state refers to a normal game based on ART control (in the embodiment, the “normal game” except at the time of the extra effect (specific effect) except when the prognostic game, the casse Also referred to as “executable state etc.”.
As shown in FIG. 10A, while staying at the tiger stage, the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 and the open / close display portions 23L and 23R each have a tiger character C21a (playing state information) corresponding to the stage Display
Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 and the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are in their respective stages while staying on the rattan and cattle stages. The forehead character C22a and the cow character C23a (playing state information) corresponding to are displayed.

As a result, if the main display portion 22 etc. is controlled to the insult character C22a (first 2 game state information is displayed.
Similarly, when the bull stage is controlled to be more advantageous to the player than the kite stage in which the kite character C22a (the first gaming state information) is displayed, the bull character C23a (first 2 game state information is displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11A to FIG. 11D, the main display unit 22 stops the pushing order navigation when the pushing order bell role and the pushing order replay role are won in the base game. It performs by the display (1st display) of an aspect (1st aspect). That is, each time the stop buttons 14a to 14c are operated to stop in accordance with the pressing order navigation, the pressing order navigation corresponding to the stop button is erased without moving. Then, the display position of the remaining push order navigation is maintained.
In this case, each display unit maintains the display of the normal state in the ART state, except that the main display portion 22 displays the push order navigation. For example, FIGS. 11 (A) to 11 (D) show an example in which the player with a push order navigation is elected while staying at the tiger stage. In this case, the main display unit 22 displays the push order navigation. Except for the above, the state shown in FIG. 10 (A) is maintained. Further, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are not driven to open and close, and are maintained in the stopped state.

As shown in FIG. 10, the lower display unit 24 displays the number of remaining games, the number of ARTs, the number of winning, and the stage names C21b, C22b, and C23b (playing state information).
The stage name is the stage name during the stay. The operation and effect of displaying the stage name is the same as the above-described operation and effect of displaying the characters C21a, C22a, and C23a by the main display portion 22 or the like.
The number of remaining games indicates the number of remaining games in the current state of ART (the number of remaining games out of 50). FIG. 10A to FIG. 10C are examples in which “remaining: 30 times” is displayed.
The ART elapsed number indicates what set of ART state the current set is, when the ART state is continued. FIGS. 10A to 10C are examples in which “second set” is displayed.
The acquired number indicates the number of medals acquired by the player while staying in the series of ART states. FIGS. 10A to 10C show an example in which “100 sheets” are displayed.

  The upper display unit 21 displays the number of winnings of the replay player staying in the ART state (also referred to as “replay count value”). The replay count value is counted by the control unit 25b. The replay count value of the upper display unit 21 is added each time the replay role is won. As will be described later, the replay count value is used for the lottery of whether or not to execute the additional effect of the number of sets.

(Flow of processing in ART state)
Details of the processing of the ART state of the slot machine 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 20 and the like.
As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 25b starts processing of one game in response to reception of the game start operation (S10).
Next, the control unit 25b determines whether the game is the first game after transition or continuation of the ART state (S20). If the controller 25b determines that the game is the first game (S20: YES), it proceeds to S20a, and if it determines that the game is not the first game (S20: NO), it proceeds to S30.

Next, in response to the first game (S20: YES), the control unit 25b performs a stage lottery process (S20a). The stage lottery process is a process of determining the stage after transition or continuation of the ART state by lottery.
The control unit 25b performs lottery from among the three stages based on the stage lottery table T2 shown in FIG. 4 (C). The stage lottery process may be performed in a game in which transition or continuation of the ART state is determined.

The stage lottery table T2 stores the number of sets held “1”, “3”, “4 or more” at the transition or continuation time of the ART state in association with the winning probability of each stage. The larger the number of sets held, the lower the probability of winning the tiger stage and the higher the probability of winning the beef stage.
The above process determines the stage after transition or continuation of the ART state.

Next, the control units 25b and 26b execute the game based on the setting of the stage determined by the stage lottery process. In the second and subsequent games after transitioning to or continuing to the ART state, it is based on the setting of the stage determined at the first time.
That is, the control unit 26b displays the characters C21a, C22a, C23a, etc. corresponding to the stage determined by the stage lottery process on the open / close display units 23L, 23R. Thereby, the slot machine 10 can notify the player of the type of the current stage.

(Additional effect execution lottery process: S30)
Next, based on the game start operation acceptance (see S10), the control unit 25b performs an additional effect execution lottery process (specific effect lottery process) in response to the replay count value being a multiple of ten. The additional effect execution lottery process is a lottery process that determines whether or not to execute an additional lottery game to be described later.
In the embodiment, the additional effect execution lottery process is described based on the fact that the play count value is a multiple of 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a predetermined rare role is won. It is also possible to carry out a lottery for increasing the number of sets on the basis of the number, and to carry out the addition of the number of sets at a predetermined probability of winning.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the control unit 25b performs an additional effect execution lottery process by referring to the additional effect execution lottery table T4a.
The additional effect execution lottery table T4a stores the winning probability corresponding to the type of stay stage and each winning probability of the replay count value (multiple of 10). However, as indicated by "40 or more", the additional effect execution lottery table T4a stores common information for the replay count value of 40 or more multiples (40, 50, 60, ...) .

The additional effect execution lottery table T4a stores information that makes it easier to win as the stage type is more advantageous and as the replay count value is larger. That is, the additional effect execution lottery table T4a stores information having a tendency that the probability of winning increases as the stay stage reaches from the tiger stage to the cow stage, and the replay count value is elected according to "10" to "40 or more". It stores information that tends to increase in probability.
Therefore, for the player, the more the player is staying at the advantageous stage and the larger the replay count value, the higher the probability that the number of sets will be added, which is an advantageous development.

  Note that the replay count value is reset to zero by being won in the additional effect execution lottery process. On the other hand, the replay count value is maintained at the stage transition accompanied by the stage promotion which is not won in the additional effect execution lottery process or which will be described later.

(Stage promotion lottery process, Gase effect lottery process: S40)
Next, based on the game start operation acceptance (see S10), the control unit 25b performs a stage promotion lottery process and a cassette effect lottery process (S40).
The stage promotion lottery process and the cassette effect lottery process are performed in each game. However, the stage promotion lottery process and the Gase effect lottery process are not performed in the game staying on the top cow stage.
The stage promotion lottery process is a lottery as to whether or not to perform stage promotion effects. The winning probability of the stage promotion lottery process is, for example, 2% (1/50). When the stage promotion lottery process is won, stage promotion is decided.
The Gase effect lottery process is a lottery of whether or not to perform Gase effect. The gasse effect lottery process is performed when the stage promotion lottery process is not won. The Gaze effect is an effect that makes the player think as if the player has won the stage promotion effect by performing the same effect as the omen effect. The winning probability of the Gase effect lottery process is also, for example, 2% (1/50).
Details of both effects will be described later.

Next, when the additional effect execution lottery process (S30) is won (S50: YES), the control unit 25b proceeds to S50a to execute the set number increase process, and on the other hand, has not been elected. In the case (S50: NO), the process proceeds to S60.
Further, when the control unit 25b has won any of the stage promotion lottery process and the cassette effect lottery process (S40) (S60: YES), the control unit 25b proceeds to S60a and executes the stage promotion process. If not (S60: NO), the process proceeds to S70.

(Set number addition processing: S50a)
Details of the set number addition process will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 17 and the like.
(Additional lottery game)
As shown in FIG. 13, the control units 25b and 26b execute the additional lottery game based on the winning of the additional effect execution lottery process (S51, see arrow # 4a in FIG. 7).
Although the detailed description is omitted, the number of additional lottery games is determined from 2 to 7 times by the lottery process. The winning probability is, for example, 10% each in 2-3 times and 20% each in 4-7 times. In this case, the control unit 25b may perform the lottery process using a table in which the number of additional lottery games increases as the stage type is more advantageous.
While the addition lottery game is in progress, the subtraction of the remaining game number of one set is stopped, while the replay count value is updated, which is advantageous for the player. For example, the play count value of the upper display unit 21 in FIGS. 14 to 16 is displayed as “three times”. This is a state in which, after the replay count value is reset by having won the additional effect execution lottery process, the player is elected three times as the replay player while the additional lottery game is in progress.

During the additional lottery game, the control unit 25b performs an additional lottery process to determine whether to add the number of sets based on acceptance of the game start operation of each game. The number of additional sets is awarded to the player based on the winning of the additional lottery process (that the specific condition is satisfied).
The winning probability of the additional lottery process may be, for example, 3% for the replay role, 20% for the bell role, and 100% for the rare role. In addition, the winning probability of the winning combination of each game is based on the stage type during stay.
In the 2 to 7 addition lottery games, the number of sets to be added is 0 at the minimum (when all games are not won) and at most 7 (when all games are won).
During the additional game, the main display unit 22, the open / close display unit 23, etc. perform what is called a battle effect that displays a moving image in which the character fights against the enemy. The battle effect is to display a series of moving images on the main display unit 22 or the like. The type of battle effect may be different according to the number of additional lottery games 2 to 7. For example, when the additional lottery game is three times, the character fights against the enemy, and when it is seven times, the character plays a table tennis game with the enemy. Then, the slot machine 10 is configured to indicate the number of added sets acquired during the battle by an additional effect described later.
During the additional lottery game, the control unit 25b performs an additional lottery process to determine whether to add the number of sets based on acceptance of the game start operation of each game. In addition, when the result of the addition lottery process of each game is a winning, the control unit 25b updates the addition by adding the number of held sets stored in the storage unit 25a.

As shown in FIG. 14 to FIG. 17, after the final game of the additional lottery game is over (after the third reel stop operation), after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses, the additional effects 1 to 4 ( Perform one of the specific effects). The additional effects 1 to 4 are effects indicating that the addition of the number of sets has been determined.
The addition finalization production of Drawing 14-Drawing 17 is addition production 1-4 while staying on a tiger stage. Therefore, by displaying the tiger character C21a, characters C21b of "Tiger Stage" which is the stage name, and the like on the display section, the tiger character C21a is rendered as if it has won the enemy.

(Superior production process)
The control unit 25b executes the additional effect type lottery process based on the end of the final game of the additional lottery game (that is, the last game of 2 to 7 times), thereby selecting one of the additional effects 1 to 4 One of the effects is determined (S52, see arrow # 4b in FIG. 7). The timing for executing the additional effect type lottery process may be after the point when the additional number is determined (the point at which the game start operation of the final game of the additional lottery game is received).
The additional effect indicates the number of sets given in the additional lottery game. In addition, additional effects 1, 2, 3 and 4 correspond to the expected degree of added, and “expected degree low”, “expected degree middle”, “expected degree high” and “expected degree super high” are set respectively There is. The details of the contents of the additional effects 1 to 4 will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the control unit 25b performs an additional effect type lottery process by referring to the additional effect type lottery table T4b.
The additional effect type lottery table T4b stores information on the probability of winning such that the additional effect with a high degree of expectation is more likely to be won as the additional number is larger.
For example, in the case of one additional player, the winning probabilities of the additional effects 1 (low) and 2 (middle) are 80% and 20%, respectively. For this reason, in the case of one additional number, the additional effect 1 (low) is won with a high probability, and the additional effects 3 (high) and 4 (super high) are not elected. In the case of 7 additional pieces, the winning probability of the extra effect 4 (super high) is 100%. For this reason, in the case of seven additional pieces, only the additional effect 4 (super high) is won.
Also, the expectation of the additional number according to the additional effects 1 to 4 is “1 (low) <2 (middle) <3 (high) <4 (super high)” based on the additional effect type lottery table T4 b. It has become. That is, in addition production 1 (low) and 2 (middle), the addition of 5 or less is decided, 3-6 additions are decided regarding addition production 3 (high), concerning addition production 4 (super high) It can be suggested by the effect that 5 or more (5 to 7) additions have been determined.

Next, the control units 25b and 26b receive an operation of starting the rendering operation corresponding to the additional effects 1 to 4 (S53). In the embodiment, accepting the operation of each operation unit means that the sensor that detects the operation of each operation unit changes from the non-detection state to the detection state, but is not limited thereto. The sensor may be changed from the detection state to the non-detection state.
Thereafter, the control units 25b and 26b execute the additional effect operation corresponding to the additional effects 1 to 4 in response to the reception of the operation for starting the effect operation (S54).

(Operation of additional production)
The effect contents of each additional effect 1 to 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17 and the like.
As shown in the additional effect table T4c in FIG. 5C, in the additional effects 1 to 4, the operation display, the derived image (information regarding the awarding of the privilege to the player), the derivation time (specific time), etc. There is.
As shown in the additional effect table T4c, in the additional effect, as the additional expectation increases, the operation display increases, and the derived image tends to highly suggest the additional expectation, and the derivation time tends to increase. It becomes what it has. That is, the probability (the probability of giving an advantageous benefit) that the number of upper power sets (the number of continuing rights) increases is higher as the derivation time becomes longer.
In addition, derivation | leading-out time is time until an derivation | leading-out image is displayed, after receiving operation of presentation operation start. That is, the derived image is displayed after the derivation time has elapsed since the operation for starting the rendering operation has been received.

Explain the flow of the contents of the additional production effects.
In each additional effect, the player is instructed to operate after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses after the final game of the additional game is over, and the operation is started by receiving the operation. The operation instruction urges the player to perform an operation for starting the rendering operation.

The effects of each additional effect are as follows.
(A) Superimposed production 1 (low)
(A1) As shown in FIG. 14 (A), the central display area 22C of the main display section 22 executes an operation instruction display for prompting the operation of the effect button 15. This operation instruction display has a button image C31a or the like imitating the effect button 15.
(A2) As shown in FIGS. 14 (B) and 14 (C), in the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22, the dog character C31b is displayed on the front side from the back side based on the operation of the effect button 15. Display the image coming to the side for 3 seconds.
(A3) As shown in FIG. 14 (D), after 3 seconds have passed as the derivation time since the main display portion 22 is operated (the dog character C 31 b is moved from the back side to the front side) After displaying the following image), displaying the derived image clown image C31c suggests that the stock has been added.

(B) Superimposed production 2 (middle)
(B1) As shown in FIG. 15A, the main display unit 22 and the open / close display units 23L and 23R issue operation instructions as follows.
The open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at the closed position.
The operation display has a button image C32a larger than the button image C31a of the additional effect 1 (low). The button image C32a is displayed across the left display area 22L of the main display unit 22, the open / close display units 23L and 23R, and the right display area 22R of the main display unit 22. Thus, it can be suggested that the expectation of the additional number is higher when the additional effect 2 (middle) is produced than when the additional effect 1 (low) is produced.
(B2) As shown in FIG. 15 (B), when the effect button 15 is operated, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are arranged at the open position.
As shown in FIG. 15 (B) to FIG. 15 (D), the subsequent effects are the same as the additional effect 1 (low) (FIG. 14 (B) to FIG. 14 (D)). That is, the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 displays the dog character C31b and the clown image C31c, and the derivation time is 3 seconds.

  Thus, the effect of the additional effect 2 (middle) makes the button image C 32 a larger than that of the additional effect 1 (low), and opens / closes the open / close display units 23 L and 23 R. As a result, it is possible to have an expectation that the number of additional sets at the time of the effect of the additional effect 2 (middle) will be larger than that at the time of the effect of the additional effect 1 (low).

(C) Superimposed production 3 (high)
(C1) As shown in FIG. 16A, the operation instruction of the additional effect 3 (high) is as follows.
The open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at the closed position.
The left display area 22L of the main display unit 22 and the open / close display unit 23L display a schematic view C33a of the slot machine 10. Further, the open / close display units 23L and 23R use this schematic view to display an image C33b (an image of an arrow, a character of PUSH) prompting the operation of the lower display unit button 24a.
The right display area 22R of the main display unit 22 prompts the player to focus on the lower display unit 24 by displaying an arrow image C33c or the like pointing to the lower display unit 24.
The lower display unit 24 prompts the operation of the lower display button 24a by displaying the character C33d of PUSH.
The lower display portion button 24a is in a state where the pressing operation can be performed by controlling the actuator 24c in response to execution of the operation instruction display (see FIG. 2B).
The player may operate the lower display portion button 24a in response to the display of the operation instruction.

(C2) As shown in FIG. 16B, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at the open position based on the operation of the lower display unit button 24a.
As shown in FIGS. 16B and 16C, in the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22, the dog character C31b is similar to the additional effect 1 (low) and the additional effect 2 (middle). Display the image coming from the back to the front. However, the display time is five seconds, unlike the three seconds of the additional effects 1 (low) and 2 (medium).
(A3) As shown in FIG. 16 (D), after 5 seconds have passed as the lead-out time since the lower display portion button 24a is operated (the dog character C31b moves from the back side to the front side) By displaying the BAR graphic image C33e which is a derived | led-out image, after displaying the image which turns on), it is suggested that the stock addition was carried out.

  As described above, the effect of the additional effect 3 (high) makes the start operation instruction of the effect more prominent than the additional effect 1 (low) and 2 (middle), and the effect operation is performed according to the operation of the lower display button 24a. Start. Further, the main display unit 22 displays the BAR symbol image C33e, and the derivation time of 5 seconds (first time) is longer than the derivation time of 3 seconds (second time) of the additional effect 1 (low) and 2 (middle) long. As a result, it is possible to give an expectation that the number of additional sets at the time of the effect of the effect on 3 (high) will be more than that in the effect of the effect on 1 (low) and 2 (middle).

(D) Superimposed production 4 (super high)
(D1) As shown in FIG. 17A, the operation instruction of the additional effect 4 (super high) is as follows.
The upper display unit 21 is disposed at the lower position by being driven to be lowered.
The open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at positions separated to such an extent as not to be hidden by the upper display unit 21.
The central display area 22C of the main display unit 22, the upper display unit 21, and the open / close display units 23L and 23R integrally display a sufficiently large arrow image C34a to urge the operation of the lower display unit button 24a. The arrow image C34a is larger than the arrow image C33c of the additional effect 3 (high) and is more noticeable than this.
The lower display unit 24 displays a letter C33d of "PUSH", and the lower display unit button 24a is in a state where the pressing operation is possible, as in the case of the extra effect 3 (high).
The player may operate the lower display unit 24 in response to these operation instruction displays.

(D2) As shown in FIGS. 17 (B) to 17 (E), the lower display portion 24 causes the dog character C 34 b to be displayed from the back side of the screen to the front side based on the operation of the lower display portion button 24a. Display the image coming for, for 8 seconds. In this case, the arrow image C34a may notify that the lower display portion button 24a has been operated by changing the color or the like.
(D3) As shown in FIG. 17F, after 8 seconds have passed as the lead-out time since the lower display portion button 24a is operated (the dog character C34b moves from the back side to the front side), as shown in FIG. By displaying the 7 symbol image C 34 c as a derived image, it is suggested that stock has been added, after displaying the coming image).

  As described above, the effect of the additional effect 4 (super high) makes the operation instruction most prominent, and starts the effect operation according to the operation of the lower display portion button 24a. Further, in the main display portion 22, the derived image is a seven symbol image C34c. Furthermore, the derivation time is the longest 8 seconds. As a result, it is possible to give an expectation that the number of additional sets at the time of the effect of the extra effect 4 (super high) will be larger than that at the time of other effects.

  As described above, the slot machine 10 changes the derivation time from the operation display of the operation start of the additional effect to the display of the derived image after the operation is displayed according to the number of sets added, We are trying to improve the interest of the game. That is, since the additional expectation is higher as the derivation time is longer, changing the length of the derivation time can enhance the interest for the addition.

Next, the control unit 25b determines whether the result of the stage promotion lottery process (S40) is a win (S55). If the stage promotion lottery process is won (S55: YES), the control unit 25b proceeds to S55a, and if the stage promotion lottery process is not won (S55: NO), the control unit 25b proceeds to S80.
Next, the control unit 25b performs setting processing of the stage after promotion based on the result of the stage promotion lottery processing (S40) being a winning (S55a).
As a result, the remaining games in the ART state in one set are promoted from the next game to the high stage, the high stage, and executed based on various tables and the like of the high stage (S80: YES → S10 described later).

  Here, the process of S55a is a process that is executed when the additional effect execution lottery process (S30) and the stage promotion lottery process (S40) are duplicated in the same game. When the slot machine 10 wins such a duplicate, by performing the process of S55a, only the internal process related to stage promotion is performed without executing a prognostic effect (described later) and the like. That is, when the slot machine 10 wins such a duplicate, the slot machine 10 executes the additional game in the process of increasing the number of sets, giving priority to the player effect (described later) and the like. To give it a chance.

The process related to stage promotion is not limited to this, and after the process of incrementing the number of sets is completed, stage promotion process (see FIG. 18) described later may be executed. In addition, after the game of the additional effect is finished, or during the game of the additional effect, the stage may be shifted without executing the precursor game or the like.
In addition, the stage promotion lottery process (S40) may be executed also in each game (S51) of 2 to 7 times during the additional effect. Even when the lottery process is won, only the internal process related to stage promotion may be performed, or the stage transition may be performed after the game of the staging effect is finished.

(Stage promotion process: S60a)
Stage promotion processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 20 and the like.
In the stage promotion process, processing is performed regarding the transition from the stage during stay to the upper stage (transition from the tiger stage to the salmon stage, transition from the salmon stage to the cow stage).
As shown in FIG. 18, the control unit 25 b determines whether the lottery process in S <b> 40 is “winning in stage promotion lottery process” or “winning in Gase effect lottery process”. If the control unit 25 b determines that the “stage promotion lottery process has been won” (S 61: YES), the control unit 25 b proceeds to S 62 a. S61: NO), proceed to S63a.

Next, the control unit 25b determines the number of prognostic games by performing the prognostic game number lottery processing based on the "winning in stage promotion lottery process" (S61: YES) (S62a).
As shown in FIG. 4D, the control unit 25b performs a precursor game number lottery process with reference to the precursor game number lottery table T3. The precursor game is a part of the game during stage promotion.
The leading game number lottery table T3 stores the winning probabilities of the leading game numbers 0 to 4 in association with the remaining game numbers “11 or more”, “5 to 10”, and “1 to 4”. The number of remaining games is the number of remaining games in the ART state of the current set.
The precursor game number lottery table T3 stores information that the larger the number of precursor games is likely to be won as the number of remaining games is larger.
That is, when the number of remaining games is "11 or more", the winning probability of the leading game numbers 1 to 4 is 25%, and the winning probability of the leading game number 0 is 0%.
In the number of remaining games "5 to 10", the probability of winning 1 to 4 games is 5% respectively, which is smaller than the probability of winning "11 or more", and the probability of winning 0 prog games is It is 80%, which is higher than the probability of winning "11 or more".
In the number of remaining games “1 to 4”, the probability of winning the numbers of prognostic games 1 to 4 is 0%, and the probability of winning the number of prognostic games 0 is the highest 100%. For this reason, with the number of remaining games “1 to 4”, a precursor game is not played.

  When the number of remaining games in the ART state is large, the above setting of the protec- tion game number lottery table T3 has a sufficient number of games after the stage promotion while the number of remaining games in the ART state is small. It takes into consideration that the number of games after stage promotion is small.

(Precursor game)
Next, the control unit 25b executes a game for the number of prognostic games determined in S62a (S62b, see arrow # 3a in FIG. 7). However, when the number of precursor games is zero, the control unit 25b does not execute the precursor game.
Details of the prognostic effects of the prognostic game will be described with reference to FIG.

The following describes the precursor game while staying on the tiger stage, but the same processing is performed for the precursor game while staying on the rattan stage.
The control units 25b and 26b process the aura of the aura game in the following order.
(1) As shown in FIG. 19 (A), when the winning order bell and the pressing order replay are won in the precursor game, the three pressing order navigations 30a, 30b and 30c are displayed in the central display area of the main display portion 22. Displayed side by side in 22C. In this state, since the open / close display units 23L and 23R are disposed at the separated open position (first arrangement position), the central display area 22C of the main display unit 22 is largely exposed. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c. The difference between the precursor game and the normal game in this state is that the tiger character C21a is not displayed in the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 in the precursor game but is displayed in the normal game. (See FIG. 11A).

(2) As shown in FIG. 19 (B), the open / close display unit is based on the fact that the first operation stop operation (the operation of the stop button 14c) is performed according to the push order navigation 30c and the push order navigation 30c is erased. The 23 L and 23 R are controlled to move in a stepwise closing manner from the open position (first arrangement position) to the close position (second arrangement position). In response to this, the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 is narrowed. The left push order navigation 30a is displayed (second display) so that the display position moves to the right so that it can be displayed in the central display area 22C. As a result, the interval between the remaining push order navigations 30a and 30b is narrowed.
In this case, the movement amount, movement range, and the like of each push order navigation 30a, 30b are set so that the correspondence between the stop buttons 14a, 14b can be recognized even after movement. For example, it is possible to recognize that the push order navigation 30a corresponding to the stop button 14a corresponds to the stop button 14a instead of the other stop button 14b even after movement. That is, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are stepwise closed and driven to such an extent that the push order navigations 30a and 30b can be viewed in a state where the interval between the push order navigations 30a and 30b displayed at the present time is narrowed.
Thereby, the slot machine 10 can maintain the function of the ART even with the movement of the push navigation.

  The open / close display units 23L and 23R may be driven to close even before the first operation stop operation is performed. In this case, the three push order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are displayed in the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 by moving the display position so that the distance between the push order navigations becomes narrow.

(3) As shown in FIG. 19C, based on the stop operation (the operation of the stop button 14b) in accordance with the second operation second push order navigation 30b, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R drive the stage close Control is performed to further narrow the distance. Also in this case, similarly to the above (2), the open / close display units 23L and 23R are closed and driven to such an extent that the final push order navigation 30a can be viewed. In addition, the final push order navigation 30a moves slightly in the center display area 22C to the right.

(4) As shown in FIG. 19D, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are opened based on the stop operation (the operation of the stop button 14a) in accordance with the third push order navigation 30a. Controlled to be deployed.
(5) In the prognostic game of (1) above, when the combination with push order navigation is not won (that is, when the rare combination, the winning combination, etc.) is won, the movement effect of the push order navigation 30a And only the movement of the open / close display units 23L and 23R. Also in this case, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are controlled to be disposed at the open position after being closed and driven so as not to be completely disposed at the closed position during movement.
(6) The control unit 25b repeats the process from the above (1) when the number of remaining games of the precursor game remains, and proceeds to S62c shown in FIG. 18 when the number of remaining games does not remain. . In addition, in the above (1), a game which has not been won for a combination with push order navigation is also counted (counted) as the number of leading games.

Thus, the processing of the precursor game ends.
As described above, when the main display unit 22 wins the winning combination with the push order navigation in the precursor game, the main display unit 22 executes display (second display) of moving the push order navigation (second form) Do. For this reason, due to this movement effect (that is, movement display), the pushing order navigation moves by a longer distance than the stop display in the normal game described above.

  Further, during the precursor game, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are driven to be closed stepwise from the open position toward the closed position, but eventually are returned to the open position without being placed in the closed position. It is controlled. Thereby, the player can recognize that the stage can not be promoted in the next game.

  As described above, since the slot machine 10 moves and effects push order navigation, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the notification state changes to an advantageous state.

(Promotional production game)
Next, the control unit 25b executes the promotion effect game based on the end of the game for the indication game number in S62b (S62c, see arrow # 3b in FIG. 7).
(1) As shown in FIG. 20 (A) to FIG. 20 (C), the process up to the middle of the promotion effect game is the above (1) to FIG. 19 (A) to FIG. It is similar to the process of (3). As a result, the display position of the push order navigation moves, and the open / close display units 23L and 23R move.
(2) As shown in FIG. 20 (D), the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are in the closed state based on the stop operation (the operation of the stop button 14a) in accordance with the third push order navigation 30a. Controlled to be deployed.
In the promotion effect game, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are also controlled to be placed in the closed state even when the combination with the push order navigation is not won.

(3) As shown in FIG. 20E, thereafter, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are controlled to be disposed in the open state.
At the same time, the control units 25b and 26b perform setting processing of the stage after promotion (see arrow # 3c in FIG. 7), and the process proceeds to S80.
That is, the display of the characters and the like of the display units 20 to 24 is changed to the stage after promotion.
Since the example of FIG. 20 (E) is a scene which shifted to a tiger stage from a tiger stage, the character of each display part 20-24 is changed into a tiger from a tiger. Further, the setting of the internal lottery (for example, the reference column of the stage lottery table T2, the additional effect execution lottery table T4a, etc.) is changed from the tiger stage to the rattan stage.
As a result, the remaining games in the ART state in one set are promoted from the next game to the beating stage and executed based on various tables and the like of the beating stage (S80: YES → S10 described later).

  As described above, in the promotion effect game, the open / close display units 23L and 23R move to the closed position for each stop operation as in the precursor game, and finally move to the central position unlike the precursor game. It is placed in the closed position. Thereafter, the open / close display units 23L and 23R return to the open position (initial position) and change the display mode to indicate the stage transition.

  As a result, the slot machine 10 can shift to the upper stage after executing an effect indicating transition to the upper stage in the promotion effect game after the accrual of the precursor game is executed.

(Gasse game)
Next, the control unit 25b performs a lottery process for determining the number of cassette games based on the fact that the "Gase effect lottery process has been won" (S61: NO) (S63a).
The lottery process for determining the number of gassed games can be processed in the same manner as the above-mentioned prognostic game number lottery process using the same table as the prognostic game number lottery process.

Next, the control units 25b and 26b execute the cassette game (S63b, see arrow # 3d in FIG. 7).
The Gasse game can be performed by the same process as the precursor game. That is, the same number of cassette games determined in the lottery process as the cassette game is performed in the same manner as (1) to (5) of the precursor game. The effects of the display units 20 to 24 are the same as in the precursor game (FIG. 19A to FIG. 19D).
When the processing of the cassette game is completed, the control units 25b and 26b proceed to the next processing (S80), and continue the game of the stage being stayed (S80 → S10).

The slot machine 10 shifts to a stage advantageous to the player by the movement effects of the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, 30c, and the movement effects of the open / close display units 23L, 23R by the processing of the above prophetic game, promotion effect game, and gusset game. You can control it as you
That is, in the slot machine 10, the stage is more likely to be promoted when the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are moved and produced, than when the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are stopped and displayed. Can be controlled to Therefore, in the slot machine 10, for example, when the tiger character C21a is displayed on the main display portion 22 or the like, the main display portion 22 presses the navigation order 30a, 30b,. Control can be performed so that the movement effect of the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c is higher than when the stop display of 30c is performed.

  When the stage is promoted, movement effects of up to five games are performed, and when the stages are not promoted, movement effect is performed only between four games at maximum. Therefore, the slot machine 10 can be controlled to shift to the upper stage without fail when the open / close display units 23L and 23R are moved and directed five times in a row.

Here, the controller 25b may count only the number of wins of the combination accompanied by the push order navigation as the number of prognostic games and the number of pseudomorphic games in the prognostic game and the cassette game. In this case, in the game for the number of times of these games, it is always possible to perform the movement presentation of push order navigation.
In addition, when performing processing related to stage promotion in a state where the number of remaining games in one set of ART state is small (for example, the number of remaining games is several), a large number of players can not win push order navigation. The ART state may be ended without digesting the precursor games for the number of precursor games. In this case, the slot machine 10 can include a game feature that ends the process related to promotion without stage transition.

  Furthermore, in each game (S62b, S62c, S63b) during the stage promotion process, the control unit 25b executes the additional effect execution lottery process (S30) when the replay count value becomes a multiple of 10. Good. When the control unit 25 b wins the additional effect execution lottery process, the control unit 25 b may shift to the process of adding the number of sets (S 50 a) after all the stage promotion processes are finished. Further, at this time, the control unit 25b may stop or suspend the stage promotion processing, and shift to processing of the set number addition processing (S50a).

The control unit 25b is based on the setting of each stage based on not winning in the additional effect execution lottery process (S50: NO) and not winning in the stage promotion lottery process (S60: NO) , Normal game processing is performed (S70).
Next, at the end of each game (during the third reel stop operation), the control unit 25b determines that the game of one set is ended by having digested the number of times of the game of one set (S80: YES), the process proceeds to S90, and if it is determined that one set of games has not ended (S80: NO), the processing from S10 is repeated.
Note that, as described above, when the stage transition is promoted, the repeated S10 and subsequent games are executed based on the setting of the stage after promotion.

  Next, the control unit 25b continues the ART state by repeating the process from S10 if the number of owned sets remains (S90: YES) when one set of games ends. In this repeated process, the control unit 25b performs the process (S20a, etc.) of the next set of stages. On the other hand, when the number of held sets does not remain (S90: NO), the control unit 25b proceeds to S100.

  Next, based on the fact that the number of held sets does not remain (S90: NO), the control unit 25b shifts to the normal state (S100). In this case, the control unit 25b resets the replay count value.

  By the process of S100, as shown by arrow # 5 in FIG. 7, the state shifts from the ART state to the normal state. The transition condition to the normal state may be that the number of owned sets does not remain at the end of the final game of one set of ART states. Each display part 20-24 is changed into the display screen of a normal state at the time of transfer to a normal state.

As described above, in the stage promotion process, the slot machine 10 of this embodiment may or may not be promoted after the push order navigation has moved. Therefore, by moving the push order navigation, it is possible to show that the stage has been promoted, that is, as if it has shifted to a state advantageous to the player. As a result, the slot machine 10 can improve presentation effects by pushing order navigation, and can improve interest.
Further, the slot machine 10 can make the lead-out time for the additional effect different depending on the number of additional sets. For this reason, the slot machine 10 can improve the interest of the effect indicating the number of additional sets, that is, the benefit given to the player in the ART state.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the following description and the drawings, the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals or suffixes (last two digits) are given as appropriate to portions performing the same functions as the first embodiment described above, and overlapping descriptions are appropriately made I omit it.
In the second embodiment, the movement effect of the push order navigation at the time of stage promotion processing in the ART state is changed from that of the first embodiment, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, the movement presentation of push order navigation at the time of stage promotion processing in the ART state of slot machines 210A to 210E, that is, display of a mode (second form) of moving push order navigation ) Will be described.
The slot machines 210A to 210E execute the display of the push order navigation at the time of the base game in the stop display (first display) of the mode (first mode) to be stopped, as in the first embodiment.

FIGS. 21A1 to 21A3 are diagrams for explaining the movement effect of the pushing order navigation in the slot machine 210A.
FIG. 21 (A1) is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 19 (A), and in the prognostic effect of the prognostic game, pushing order navigation 30a, 30b, 30c (special operation based on having won the combination with pushing order) Display information).
In this case, the left and right push order navigations 30a and 30c are displayed in the display areas (special display areas) of the left and right open / close display units 23L and 23R, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 21 (A2), in response to the stop button of the first operation being operated, the push order navigation 30c is erased, and the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are driven to be closed in stages. In this case, the open / close display unit 23L moves in a state where the pushing order navigation 30a is displayed. Thus, the pushing order navigation 30a moves.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (A3), in response to the operation of the stop button for the second operation, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are driven to close in stages. Here, as in the case of the first operation, the pushing order navigation 30a moves.

Thereafter, in response to the operation of the third operation stop button, the open / close display units 23L and 23R operate in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
That is, in the case of the prognostic effect or in the case of the sase effect, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are disposed at the open position (see FIG. 19D). On the other hand, in the case of the promotion finalization effect, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are arranged at the open position after being arranged at the closed position (refer to FIG. 20 (D) and FIG. 20 (E)). , And displays the stage after promotion (see FIG. 20E).

  As described above, the slot machine 210A can move the push order navigation by moving the open / close display unit while the push order navigation is displayed on the open / close display unit.

21 (B1) and 21 (B2) are diagrams for explaining the movement effect of the pushing order navigation of the slot machine 210B.
FIG. 21 (B1) is similar to FIG. 19 (A).
As shown in FIG. 21 (B2), in response to the operation of the stop button for the first operation, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are driven to close in stages. Then, the pushing order navigation 30a moves from the central display area 22C of the main display unit 22 to the open / close display unit 23L. In this case, the push order navigation 30a may be displayed on the open / close display unit 23L after being erased once. Further, the pushing order navigation 30a may move continuously as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 21 (B2). In this case, the push order navigation 30a is temporarily displayed across the central display area 22C and the open / close display unit 23L.
Thereafter, the slot machine 210B is controlled in the same manner as the slot machine 210A (see FIG. 21 (A3)).
As described above, the slot machine 210B can move the push order navigation between the display units, or can display the push order navigation across the display units.

21 (C1) to 21 (C3) are diagrams for explaining the movement effect of the pushing order navigation in the slot machine 210C.
FIG. 21C1 is similar to FIG. 19A.
As shown in FIG. 21 (C2), in response to the operation of the stop button for the first operation, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are driven to close in stages. As a result, the left display area 22L of the main display portion 22 becomes visible. The pushing order navigation 30a moves from the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 to the left display area 22L.

As shown in FIG. 21 (C3), in response to the operation of the stop button for the second operation, the open / close display units 23L and 23R are driven to close in stages. As a result, the left display area 22L of the main display unit 22 is widened. In response to this, the pushing order navigation 30a moves to the right in the left display area 22L of the main display portion 22.
As described above, since the slot machine 210C displays the push order navigation so as to move between the display areas of the main display unit 22, the moving distance can be increased.

FIGS. 22A1 and 22A2 are diagrams for explaining the movement effect of the pushing order navigation in the slot machine 210D.
The winning combination with push order navigation of the slot machine 210D is three-choice, that is, only the stop button for the first operation is specified, and the operation order of the remaining two stop buttons is not specified. For this reason, the pushing order navigation 230a, 230b corresponding to the remaining two stop buttons can use an illustration or the like which does not need to navigate the order.

In the example of FIG. 22 (A1), the character “1” is displayed on the push order navigation 230c corresponding to the stop button on the right side of the first operation, and the push order navigation 230a and 230b corresponding to the remaining two stop buttons The illustration of the star is displayed.
As shown in FIG. 22 (A2), in response to the stop button of the first operation being operated in accordance with the push order navigation 230c, the push order navigation 230c disappears, and the open / close display portions 23L and 23R drive the stage close Will be In response to this, the pushing order navigation 230a moves in the center display area 22C of the main display 22 toward the right.
Thereafter, the slot machine 210D is controlled in the same manner as the slot machine 210A (see FIG. 21 (A3)).
As described above, the slot machine 210D can perform the movement presentation of the push order navigation even when winning the combination with the three-choice push order.

FIGS. 22B1 to 22B3 are diagrams for explaining the movement effect of the pushing order navigation of the slot machine 210E.
As shown in FIG. 22 (B1), the slot machine 210E does not have the open / close display unit. Therefore, the entire area of the main display portion 22 is visible.
In the upper range of the display area of the main display unit 22, a band image C210 having the characters "to the eyebrow stage" is displayed, and in the lower range, pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are displayed. . The displays of the other display units (upper display unit, lower display unit, etc.) are the same as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 19A).
As shown in FIG. 22 (B2), in response to the operation of the stop button of the first operation, the remaining two push order navigations 30a and 30b move upward toward the band image C210.
As shown in FIG. 22 (B3), in response to the operation of the stop button for the second operation, the remaining push order navigation 30a moves further upward toward the band image C210.

In the case of the aura effect, thereafter, each display unit operates in the same manner as in the first embodiment in response to the operation of the third operation stop button.
That is, in the case of the admonition effect or in the case of the gase effect, the push order navigation system 30a does not reach the band image C210, and each display unit displays a tiger illustration and a stage name corresponding to the tiger stage. (See FIG. 10 (A)).
On the other hand, in the case of the promotion determined effect, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 22 (B3), the pushing order navigation system 30a reaches the band image C210. Further, after that, each display unit displays an eyelid illustration and a stage name corresponding to the eyelid stage after promotion.

  In the case of the prognostic effect, or in the case of the gusset effect, the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c may be stopped and displayed without moving from the display position shown in FIG. 22 (B3). In this case, in the game in which the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c do not move, it can be more clearly suggested that the stage is not promoted. Thereby, it is suggested more clearly that transition to the advantageous situation is more likely to occur when the push order navigations 30a, 30b, 30c move than when the push order navigations 30a, 30b, 30c do not move. Can.

  As described above, the slot machines 210A to 210E of the present embodiment can improve the taste of the movement effect of the push order navigation, and can exhibit the same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment.

Third Embodiment
The third embodiment is the one in which the addition effect of the number of sets in the ART state is changed from the first embodiment, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 23 (A), top effect type lottery table T304 b, the slot machine of this embodiment has 3 types of top effect 1 (low), 2 (middle) according to the expectation of top of the set number. , 3 (high) is feasible.
The additional effect type lottery table T304b stores information in which the numbers of the additional items 1 to 3 are associated with the additional effects (low), 2 (medium), and 3 (high). As in the first embodiment, the winning probability is likely to be won for the additional effect with a high degree of expectation, as the number of additional players increases.

As shown in the additional effect table T304c of FIG. 24B, for the operation display of the additional effects 1 (low), 2 (middle), and 3 (high), refer to the button image C31a etc. of FIG. ) And is common.
However, the derived images of the additional effects 1 (low), 2 (middle), 3 (high), and the derivation time are different from each other.
As derived images, illustrations of clowns, bar symbol images, and seven symbol images are set, respectively. Therefore, for the additional effects 1 (low), 2 (middle), and 3 (high), an image that indicates that the degree of expectation is high is set as a derived image in this order.
The derivation time is set to 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and 8 seconds, respectively. For this reason, the additional effects 1 (low), 2 (middle), and 3 (high) have a longer derivation time in this order.

As described above, the slot machine according to the present embodiment can indicate the number of additional sets to the player by setting the derived image of the additional effects of the number of sets and the derivation time.
In the slot machine, one of the derived image and the derived time may be set in common, and only the other may be set differently depending on the degree of expectation of the number of additions.

Fourth Embodiment
The slot machine 410 of the fourth embodiment enables transition of the slot machine of the first embodiment to two types of bonus states (first bonus state, second bonus state) while staying in the ART state, and also waits for a bonus While staying in the state, two types of effects (the first effect and the second effect) are made executable.

As shown in FIG. 24, while staying at each stage in the ART state (Tiger stage, Tsubaki stage, and Cow stage), the first bonus wait by waiting for the first bonus and the second bonus lottery process respectively. State, transition to the second bonus waiting state. As described later, these transition conditions are to win a predetermined role. Although the number of stay games in each bonus standby state is indefinite, a predetermined combination associated with the transition to each bonus standby state is controlled to be won in, for example, several games while staying in each bonus standby state. It is also good.
Although illustration is omitted in FIG. 24, the promotion process between stages and the process of adding the number of sets are executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

The first bonus standby state and the second bonus standby state are in a state of waiting for transition to the first bonus state and the second bonus state (see arrows # 401 d and # 402 d in FIG. 24). While staying in the first bonus waiting state and the second bonus waiting state, they are controlled by the ART.
The first bonus state and the second bonus state are, for example, a game state in which a bell combination (pushed bell, common bell, etc.) and a game in which the replay combination is won with a high probability continue about 30 times, for example. It is more advantageous to the player than.
In addition, while staying in the second bonus state, the replay player is a gaming state in which the player is elected with a higher probability than during the stay in the first bonus state, which is advantageous over the first bonus state.

Further, in each bonus state, for example, a lottery process or the like may be performed on the number of sets in response to the winning of a predetermined small combination (such as a rare combination or a bell combination). In this case, the winning probability of the additional lottery process in the second bonus state is set higher than the winning probability of the additional lottery process in the first bonus state. Also, in this case, the winning probability is set for each additional set number, and in the second bonus state, the winning probability is set such that a larger number of additional sets will be won than in the first bonus state. It may be
Furthermore, based on having won the set number added lottery process, for example, a combination of seven symbols may be shifted to a gaming state where it is easy to stop and display from the next game onward. In this case, when the player wins a combination corresponding to a combination of seven symbols etc after the next game, the main display portion 22 etc. performs a stop operation on the player by the pushing order navigation or the suggested image of the seven symbols. You can This can indicate to the player that the number of sets has been increased.
Furthermore, for example, 7 different yellow 7 symbols and 7 different green symbols are set as 7 symbols, and as a winning combination corresponding to the number of additional sets of 2 or less, the symbols of “yellow 7 yellow 7 yellow 7” A combination replay role may be set, while a combination replay symbol of "green 7 · green 7 · green 7" may be set as a winning combination corresponding to three or more additional sets. When the player wins 2 or less of the additional sets, when he / she wins the replay role of the combination of symbols of “yellow 7 / yellow 7 / yellow 7” after the next game, the stop operation is performed by pushing order navigation etc. When navigating, on the other hand, winning the replay role of combination of symbols of "green 7 · green 7 · green 7", it is good not to navigate the stop operation. In addition, when the winning set number of 3 or more is won, it is sufficient to process the navigation opposite to this. As a result, since the slot machine 410 is controlled to a state in which combinations of symbols according to the number of additional sets are easily stopped and displayed, it is possible to suggest the number of additional sets to the player.

  Therefore, the player desires the transition to the second bonus state more strongly than the transition to the first bonus state. Further, for the player, the second bonus standby state is a more advantageous gaming state than the first bonus standby state.

  The ART in the first bonus state and the second bonus state is controlled to a so-called "simulated bonus". Therefore, the winning probability of the role other than the replay player staying in each bonus state is the same as the probability of winning the role other than the replay player staying in the non-ART state. However, the gaming state in each bonus state is not limited to this, and control is made to a "real bonus" in which a game in which the winning probability of the other role than the replay role is improved than during staying in the non-ART state can be performed. It may be done.

  The method of the lottery process of the first bonus and the second bonus is not limited. For example, the lottery may be made at a predetermined winning probability for each game, and a slot machine game with a battle game may be executed during this game. A lottery may be made with a predetermined winning probability. In addition, based on the reception of the game start operation, if a lottery for transition to the bonus state is made and the player is won, a type lottery of the first bonus state and the second bonus standby state may be performed subsequently. Further, the lottery process of the first bonus and the second bonus may be executed also at the transition time of the ART state and at the continuation time. However, the winning probability of the second bonus is lower than the winning probability of the first bonus, and is, for example, about 1/10 of the winning probability of the first bonus.

  As the settings 1 to 6 of the slot machine 10, for example, the transition probability of the second bonus in the setting 6 may be extremely larger than the transition probability of the second bonus in other settings (for example, other settings) 10 times or more). In this case, the setting of the slot machine 10 can be suggested by shifting to the second bonus state.

By staying in each stage, the lottery process of the first bonus and the second bonus is won, and therefore, it shifts to any one of the first bonus standby state and the second bonus standby state (arrow 401 401a in FIG. 24, See # 402a). Then, for example, based on winning of a combination of a predetermined symbol combination (for example, a replay combination of symbol combinations of "7, 7 and 7") while staying in the first bonus standby state and the second bonus standby state. The respective bonus standby states are ended, and transition is made to the first bonus state and the second bonus state (see arrows # 401 d and # 402 d in FIG. 24).
The winning combination associated with the transition from the first bonus standby state to the first bonus state may be different from the winning combination associated with the transition from the second bonus standby state to the second bonus state. In this case, as in the example described above, 7 yellow symbols and 7 green symbols are set as the 7 symbols, and the winning combination of the former is taken as the replay role of the combination of the symbols of “yellow 7 yellow 7 yellow 7”. The latter winning combination may be a combination of "green 7 · green 7 · green 7" as a replay role.
Thereafter, based on the number of staying games in the first bonus state and the second bonus state being settled, the original staying stage is returned (see arrows # 401e and # 402e in FIG. 24).

(First bonus wait state)
While staying in the first bonus standby state, each display unit executes a first effect (described later). In addition, while staying in the first bonus standby state, a promotion lottery process for shifting to the second bonus standby state is executed. In the promotion lottery process, similarly to the stage transition process of the first embodiment, the precursor game, the promotion confirmation game, and the cassette game are executed.
The precursor game in the first bonus standby state is, for example, before transitioning to the second bonus standby state, based on winning of the transition lottery to the second bonus standby state while staying in the first bonus standby state. Several games are run.
The promotion confirmation game in the first bonus standby state is executed one game after the prognostic game is finished (see arrow # 401b in FIG. 24).
That is, the precursor game and the promotion determination game are executed when the transition to the second bonus standby state is determined. In the promotion confirmation game, after the third reel stop operation, the first effect is switched to the second effect (see an arrow # 401c in FIG. 24).

  In the first bonus standby state, for example, several games are executed based on the winning of the Gase effect lottery process while staying in the first bonus standby state. In the Gasse game, the transition process to the second bonus standby state is not executed.

  In the case of shifting to the second bonus state while staying in the first bonus standby state, only the promotion confirmation game may be executed without executing the precursor game. In addition, while staying in the first bonus waiting state, it is not necessary to execute the cassette game.

(2nd bonus wait state)
While staying in the second bonus standby state, each display unit executes either the first effect or the second effect. However, when the first effect is executed, the first effect is always changed to the second effect while staying in the second bonus standby state.
For this reason, in the state in which the first effect is being executed in each display unit, the possibility of staying in the first bonus standby state is high, while in the state in which the second effect is being executed, the second bonus standby It is decided to stay in the state.

While staying in the second bonus waiting state, the precursor game, the effect change game, and the cassette game are executed.
The precursor game in the second bonus standby state is, for example, several games executed based on the winning of the effect change lottery for switching from the first effect to the second effect while staying in the second bonus standby state. In addition, when the first effect is executed in the second bonus standby state, it is always changed to the second effect, so that during the second bonus standby state, this effect change lottery must be won by all means It is controlled.
In the effect change game in the second bonus standby state, one game is executed after the above prognostic game is finished (see arrow # 402 b in FIG. 24). In addition, regarding the effect at the time of transition from the first effect to the second effect, the effect by the promotion decision game in the first bonus standby state and the effect by the effect change game in the second bonus standby state are the same, that is, The display and operation of each display unit are the same. While the promotion determined game in the first bonus standby state involves the promotion of the standby state, the effect change game in the second bonus standby state maintains the stay in the second bonus standby state.

  In the second bonus standby state, for example, several games are executed based on the winning of the Gase effect lottery process while staying in the second bonus standby state. In the Gasse game, the change process from the first effect to the second effect is not executed.

  When changing from the first effect to the second effect while staying in the second bonus standby state, only the effect change game may be executed without executing the precursor game. In addition, while staying in the second bonus waiting state, it is not necessary to execute the cassette game.

(1st production, 2nd production)
The first and second effects are described.
As shown in FIG. 25A, in the first effect, the open / close display unit 23L displays one star image C401. The open / close display unit 23L displays the character corresponding to the stay stage (the tiger character C21a in the example of FIG. 25A).
The player is staying in either the first bonus standby state or the second bonus standby state by confirming the star image C401 (first gaming state information) displayed only on the opening / closing display 23L, and Among these, it can be predicted that the first bonus waiting state is likely to be staying.
In addition, the player is required to have the character of the opening / closing display 23L (the tiger character C21a in the example of FIG. 25A) and the stage name during stay displayed on the lower display (see the stage name C21b of FIG. By confirming, the stage during the stay can be confirmed.

As shown in FIG. 25E, in the second effect, the open / close display units 23L and 23R each display a star image C402.
The player can confirm that he is staying in the second bonus standby state by confirming the two star images C 402 (second game state information) displayed on both the open / close display portions 23L and 23R.
Also, the player can confirm the stage during stay by confirming the stage name during stay (see the stage name C21b etc. in FIG. 10) displayed on the lower display unit.

(Movement production of push order navigation during the first production)
If during the stay in the first bonus standby state, during the first effect, the winning combination with the push navigation is won, and if any of the promotion lottery process and the Gase lottery process is won, the main display portion 22. The open / close display units 23L and 23R execute an effect of push order navigation as in the prognostic game, the cassette game, and the promotion confirmation game of the first embodiment.

That is, as shown in FIG. 25A, the central display area 22C of the main display portion 22 displays push order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c.
As shown in FIG. 25 (B), in response to the stop button of the first operation being operated, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are driven to close in stages, and the push order navigation 30a has a central display area It moves in 22C (refer FIG. 19 (B) and FIG. 20 (B)).
As shown in FIG. 25C, in response to the operation of the second operation stop button, similarly, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are driven to be closed stepwise, and the push order navigation 30a is The central display area 22C is moved (see FIG. 19C and FIG. 20C).

Then, in the case of the precursor game and the gusset game, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are arranged to return to the open position as shown in FIG. 25A (see FIG. 19D).
As shown in FIG. 25D, on the other hand, in the case of the promotion determined game, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are once arranged at the closed position (see FIG. 20D).
As shown in FIG. 25E, thereafter, the open / close display portions 23L and 23R are disposed at the open position, and the star image C402 is displayed on both the open / close display portions 23L and 23R (FIG. 20E). reference). Thereby, the first effect switches to the second effect.

  Moreover, while staying in the second bonus standby state, the same is true when the player is elected to the combination with push navigation while the first effect is being produced, and any one of the effect change game and the Gasse lottery process is similarly selected. Production is executed.

  By confirming the switching of this effect, the player has transitioned from the first bonus standby state to the second bonus standby state (see arrow # 401c in FIG. 24), and the second bonus standby state has already been made. It can be confirmed that there is a possibility of staying and that this is certain (see arrow # 402c in FIG. 24).

(Stop indication of push order navigation during the first effect)
On the other hand, while staying in the first bonus standby state, while the first effect is produced, the player with a push order navigation is elected and the player is not elected for any of the promoted lottery process and the Gasse lottery process. In this case, the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are rendered as in the normal game, that is, they are stopped and displayed without being moved (see FIG. 11).
In addition, while staying in the second bonus standby state, when the first effect is won, the player with a push order navigation is won and the effect change game and the Gasse lottery process are not won. Also, the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, 30c are stopped and displayed.

  The player confirms that the pushing indication of the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b and 30c indicates that the gaming state is staying in the first bonus standby state, and the possibility of staying in the second bonus standby state is low. It can be confirmed that it is anything.

(Production of push order navigation during the second production)
As shown in FIG. 25 (F), when the player has won a combination with pushing order navigation during the second effect (that is, in a state that it is certain that he is staying in the second bonus standby state), The forward navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are displayed in the central display area 22C of the main display unit 22. After that, the pushing order navigations 30a, 30b, and 30c are rendered similarly to the normal game, that is, they are stopped and displayed without being rendered moving (see FIG. 11).

In the game in which the first effect is being executed while staying in the first bonus standby state, when the winning combination for the transition to the second bonus state is won, the first effect is changed to the second effect Instead, after the third reel stop operation of this game, the game may shift directly to the second bonus state. For example, as a winning combination relating to the transition to the second bonus state, as in the above-described example, when the replay combination of the combination of "green 7 · green 7 · green 7" is set, the first bonus In a game in which the first effect is executed while staying in the standby state, even if the game is shifted to the second bonus state without changing from the first effect to the second effect based on the winning of the replay role. Good.
Similarly, in the game in which the first effect is executed while staying in the second bonus standby state, the first game is played based on the winning of the replay role of the combination of the symbols of "green 7 · green 7 · green 7". It is also possible to shift to the second bonus state without changing from the effect to the second effect.

  Furthermore, in the game in which the first effect is being performed while staying in the second bonus standby state, the condition for switching from the first effect to the second effect may be other than having won the effect change lottery. This condition may be, for example, that a predetermined combination such as a bell combination is won in the game in which the first effect is being executed. In this case, the precursor game does not have to be executed, and the possible number of times of staying in the second bonus standby state may be an indefinite number until a predetermined combination is won. Furthermore, in this case, after the third reel stop operation of the game or the like, the first effect may be switched to the second effect.

As described above, the slot machine 410 according to the present embodiment performs the movement of the push order navigation during the first effect, which suggests that the possibility of staying in the first bonus standby state is high. Can indicate the possibility of waiting for the second bonus.
In addition, the movement effect of push order navigation is not limited to transition between stages, transition between bonus standby states, etc., as long as the specification allows transition from one gaming state to another gaming state more advantageous than this It can be applied as appropriate.

As described above, by moving the push order navigation, the slot machine of the above embodiment can be made to appear as if it is shifted to an advantageous state, or can be rendered at the time of transition to an advantageous state. It is possible to improve presentation effects by pushing order navigation, and to improve interest.
On the other hand, since the conventional slot machine merely assists the winning of the small winning combination with pushing order navigation, it has not been able to improve the amusement because it has a poor rendering effect.

Further, since the slot machine of the above embodiment can vary the derived time from the operation of the operation means to the display of the derived image in accordance with the privilege to be imparted, the improvement of interest in the effect relating to the provision of the privilege can be improved. Can be
On the other hand, since the conventional slot machine only displays the operation means related to the awarding of the ART state, it has not been possible to improve the interest concerning the effect relating to the awarding of the privilege.

Although the preferred embodiment of the gaming apparatus of the present invention has been described above, the gaming apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.
In addition, although each structure of embodiment mentioned above and each structure of the deformation | transformation form mentioned later can also be combined and used suitably, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

(1) In the embodiment, an example is described in which the additional effect is performed as the effect that suggests the additional number of sets, which is a benefit in the ART state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The benefit of the ART may be another benefit (for example, the number of games added to stay in the ART state, the rate of addition of the ART state, etc.).
(2) In the embodiment, the normal game, that is, the game not accompanied by the admonition effect, the cast effect effect, the promotion determined effect, etc., shows an example in which the pushing order navigation is stopped and displayed, but it is not limited thereto. Also in the case of the normal game, display (first display) of a mode (first mode) in which the push order navigation moves may be performed. In this case, by making the moving distance of the push order navigation of the game accompanied by the promotion determined effect etc longer than the moving distance of the push ordered navigation in the normal game, the expectation of the promotion transition of the game accompanied by the promotion fixed effect etc. The degree can be improved.

  In addition, the push order navigation may be moved regardless of the presence or absence of the movement display, and for example, “swing display” may be performed in which it is shaken in the horizontal or vertical direction. Furthermore, the pushing order navigation may display a stop in the normal game, and may display a shaking display in the precursor game, the promotion confirmation game, and the like.

(3) In the embodiment, the open / close display unit is an example of a display device, but is not limited thereto. For example, the slot machine may have an open / close member that does not have a display function, instead of the open / close display unit. Also in this case, the visible range of the main display unit changes as the open / close member moves, so that the push order navigation can be moved and produced within this visible range.
(4) In the embodiment, an example is shown in which the lottery to determine whether or not to execute the additional effect is performed according to the number of times the replay player is elected, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a lottery may be performed to determine whether or not the additional effect is to be performed, in accordance with the number of winnings of a combination other than the replay combination (for example, a bell combination etc.).

(5) In the embodiment, the control unit of the main control board performs operations as various means such as gaming state control means, but the control unit of the sub control board performs part or all of the control of the sub control board The unit can also operate as various means.
Alternatively, the control unit of the main control board may perform part or all of the operations performed by the control unit of the sub control board as various means, and the control unit of the main control board may operate as various means. .
That is, the slot machine may share various functions between the two control units according to the specification or the like, and may be provided with storage units corresponding to the respective control units. In addition, the two control units and the two storage units may be one control unit and one storage unit, respectively.

(6) In the embodiment, the gaming machine is an example of a slot machine, but is not limited to this. The gaming machine may be, for example, another gaming machine such as a pachinko machine (e.g., ball slot).
Also, the gaming machine may be a so-called enclosed type gaming machine capable of executing a game using a pseudo gaming medium of data format without using actual game media such as medals and gaming balls.

In addition, the said embodiment and modification include the following forms.
・ The first form is
