Various operation signals are input.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating values of various random numbers such as winning combination determination random numbers used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination) according to the winning combination determination table.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program. In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each gaming state and for each winning combination are determined as an allocation range of winning combination determination random numbers. Further, in the main control ROM 40b, a stop table of symbol combinations for each combination is determined in advance. The stop table is a table in which symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined for each combination according to the operation timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10.

Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, T3, and T4 stored in the main control ROM 40b will be described with reference to FIG.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of winning combination to be selected and the winning probability of each winning unit to be selected (number based on the range of random values). ) Is stored in a table for each gaming state. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state. In general games, the winning combination determination table T1 is associated with the low-probability RT game, the winning combination determination table T2 is associated with the high-probability RT game, the winning combination determination table T3 is associated with the BB game, and the winning combination determination table T4 is associated with the RB game. ing.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the winning probabilities of the BB combination, the RB combination, the cherry combination, the watermelon combination, the bell combination, the replay combination, and the SIN combination are defined. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT game (1 / 1.7) than in the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). ing. On the other hand, in the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the winning combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability. In the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability (1/400) of the BB combination and the RB combination is higher than the winning probability (1/600) of the RB combination.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, in the high-reliability RT game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high-probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player is reduced by the amount that the re-game is easily given. Can be given to the player. Such a high-definition RT game is an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the winning combination determination tables T3 and T4, winning probabilities for the cherry, watermelon, and bell roles are defined. In the winning combination determination tables T3 and T4, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the BN combination, the replay combination, and the SIN combination are not targeted for the lottery. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the bonus game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the bell combination is greatly increased as compared with the general game. In the winning combination determination table T4, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the cherry combination and the watermelon combination are much lower than the bell combination.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the BN game in which the winning probability of the bell role is greatly increased as compared with general games, the medal possessed by the player is increased by the amount that it is easy to win the bell role and easily obtain the award medal. Can do. Such a BN game is advantageous for the player.

  In general games, the winning combination probability of a small combination is set to a predetermined probability in a winning combination determination table in a bonus standby state to be described later. At the time of winning the BN combination in such a bonus standby state, the winning combination is replaced (rewritten) with the winning of another winning combination (small combination or out of combination).

  Further, in this embodiment, it is difficult to win the RB role that grants the RB game as a special game state among the BN roles as compared to the BB role, and the ratio of the winning scene of the BB role when the BN role is won. Get higher. Further, with regard to the present embodiment, the number of payouts in the RB game is smaller than the net increase number based on the maximum number of payouts in the BB game (the difference between the number of payouts and the number consumed), and the profit in the BB game is greater among the BN games. growing. Depending on the winning of the RB combination, as will be described later, a privilege advantageous to a player who is not granted by the winning of the BB combination is granted. In other words, it is difficult to win in comparison with the BB role, and the profit related to the award medal that is expected to be acquired is small. However, if the RB role is awarded, a privilege advantageous to the player is granted. You can have expectations for future developments based on benefits.

Hereinafter, the sub control board 41 will be described.
The sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 41a, and a sub-control RAM 41c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. The sub-control CPU 41a is connected to the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the lamp R.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub-control ROM 41b has a display effect pattern showing the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a music effect pattern showing the music output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect pattern showing the light emission mode of the lamp R. Is remembered. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10. Specifically, the sub control RAM 41c stores (sets) sub status information (such as a flag) related to the gaming state by the sub control CPU 41a.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives various operation signals, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control determined by the various operation signals. The main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 17 each time by inputting various operation signals and performing various controls. Further, when paying out award medals based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when the credit upper limit number (in this embodiment, “50 (sheets)”) is exceeded. Thus, each time a drive signal is output, control is performed so that one award medal is paid out. The main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 at the time of credit settlement, and controls the player to pay out medals for the credit.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the number of bets when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when an operation signal of each of the BET buttons 19 and 20 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 are operated. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game can be performed when the bet number of 3 bets is set. When the medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or the operation signal of each BET button 19 or 20 is input, the main control CPU 40a sends a bet signal instructing that the bet number has been set to the sub control board 41 ( To the sub-control CPU 41a). This bet signal causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to know that the bet number has been set.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. Then, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and the value belongs to the range of each winning combination value in the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not there is. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination to be won using the winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. The main control CPU 40a recognizes the gaming state by setting state information (such as a flag) indicating the gaming state in the main control RAM 40c. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs the role lottery in this way functions as a winning combination determining means.

  When determining the winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the determined winning combination. That is, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the BN combination of the BB combination or the RB combination, the main control CPU 40a carries over the combination information of the BN combination of the main control RAM 40c until the winning of these winnings. In this way, the state in which the role information of the BN combination is carried over is a bonus standby state in which the occurrence of winning of the BN combination is permitted but is waiting for the generation. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small in response to the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase the role information of the role.

  For this reason, the BN combination becomes a winning combination that can be carried over the variable game until the winning is determined. On the other hand, the small combination becomes a winning combination that cannot be carried over the next and subsequent variable games regardless of whether or not a winning decision is made.

  The main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the player detects the operation of the start lever 22 (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and the lottery result of the role lottery and A variable game start command indicating a gaming state in which the variable game is played is output to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). If there is a BN combination carried over, this variable game start command also instructs the combination information. The main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 by the player, and in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game, each reel is started so as to start the rotation operation of each reel. Control. Further, the variable game start command to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) can be output in accordance with the start of the rotation operation of each reel.

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on a position signal from a reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to grasp the change status of each reel during the change of each reel, while the main control CPU 40a knows the stop status of each reel during the stop of each reel. Let The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs the various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a. The various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R indicate the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R by the player, that is, which stop button is operated and the order in which the stop buttons are operated. (Sub-control CPU 41a) to grasp.

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
Based on the determined winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. Stop the combination of symbols. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel that is rotating, a combination of symbols based on the winning table selected and the stop table stored in the main control ROM 40b from the operation timing of each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. Perform stop control to display For this reason, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, and the timing of the stop operation by the player does not match the timing at which each reel stops (so-called so-called). , “Slip”). For example, in the control with “slip”, when the timing of the stop operation by the player for the symbol to be stopped is early, each reel is forced to slide in the fluctuation direction of each reel and the symbol to be stopped is stopped on the winning line. Let

  For this reason, if each reel does not have five or more parts of the other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, it will stop on any winning line as a result of slip control. The desired type of symbol can be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in each reel, when other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped have five or more portions, it is desired to stop at any winning line even with slip control. There are cases where it is not possible to stop the display of types of symbols. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs stop control of each reel based on the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R functions as a derivation control means.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop according to the content of the winning when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing at the time of winning the BN role (carrying over the winning). That is, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BB stop eye when the BB combination is won, and stops and displays the RB stop eye when the RB combination is won. Further, when winning the BN role (winning carryover), the main control CPU 40a preferentially displays the stop eye (combination of symbols) corresponding to the small role.

  On the other hand, when the BN role is won, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the stop operation timing by the player at a predetermined timing, and has not won the small role or has won the small role. If the stop eye corresponding to the small role cannot be displayed in a stopped state, the “chance eye” indicating that there is a possibility of winning the BN role is stopped. This “chance” is not displayed when the winning combination is won, but can be stopped when the cherry or watermelon combination is missed. In this case, a BN combination is missed (combination of combination information) is generated.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stop eye and the chance eye when the stop operation timing by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. In this case, the cherry role is missed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won. On the other hand, when the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage eye and the chance eye. In this case, a watermelon role is missed.

In addition, when the replay winning combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the replay stop eye that is a prize for the replay winning combination regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.
Then, when neither of the BN winning combination nor the small winning combination is determined, that is, when the extraordinary winning combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stopping stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, the stop control at the time of winning of the bell role (left correct bell role, middle correct bell role, right correct bell role) as a specific role will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), in the pachislot machine 10 of this embodiment, three stop buttons are selected when "left correct bell combination", "middle correct bell combination", and "right correct bell combination" are selected. Control performed based on the stop button operated first is different. In this embodiment, the correct answer push order that corresponds to each specific stop mode is selected based on the winning of any of the bell roles.

  When the correct answer is obtained based on the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a is in the middle stage of the middle reel 13C (medium reel middle stop position D5) as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle the three lines L1, L3, and L4. Note that the main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the correct answer is reached based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L1, L1 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form either L3 or L4. In this way, in the stop display across a plurality of winning lines, as will be described later, a winning combination of the bell role occurs simultaneously for the plurality of winning lines (in this embodiment, three). In the following description, “bell winning prize” or “bell winning” means a stop display as a specific mode across a plurality of winning lines based on the bell winning.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a is in the upper stage of the middle reel 13C (upper stop position D4 for the middle reel), as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2. The main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the push order is incorrect based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L2 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form. In the following description, the phrase “bell missing” or “bell missing” means a stop display as a normal stop mode across only one winning line based on the bell role.

  That is, when the left correct bell combination is won, the stop button 23L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first, and the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning is displayed in a stop order. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that one of the stop buttons 23C, 23R for instructing to stop other than the left reel 13L is operated first. Is done.

  Further, when the middle correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye which becomes a bell winning is displayed as a stop in response to pressing the stop button 23C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the middle correct bell role, the stop button 23L, 23R for instructing to stop other than the middle reel 13C is operated first. Is done.

  In addition, when the right correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye that becomes a bell win is stopped and displayed by pressing the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that any one of the stop buttons 23L and 23C for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first. Is done.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the correct answer is the pushing order when the bell role is won. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays a bell stop eye that spills a bell regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the push order is incorrect when the bell role is won.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the SIN combination will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6C to 6E, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the control performed based on the operation mode of the three stop buttons is different when the “SIN combination” is won.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a timing enabling the SIN winning, as shown in FIG. [Pole Seven Bar Watermelon] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2 regardless of the button.

  On the other hand, if the timing of the stop operation by the player is a timing at which a SIN winning is not possible when the SIN role is won, the main control CPU 40a may first operate a stop button for instructing a stop other than the right reel 13R ( As shown in FIG. 6D, [Bell / Replay / Bell] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the pay lines. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, when the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first ( As shown in FIG. 6 (e), [Replay / Bar / Replay] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the pay lines. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, when the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first ( First right operation), as shown in FIG. 6 (e), stop display of [bar / bar / bar] is allowed so as to straddle only one pay line L3.

  In other words, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, and when the SIN winning is not possible, [bar] is stopped and displayed on each reel. If a stop operation is performed by the player at the timing, the [bar / bar / bar] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one pay line L3. In the following description, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Bell / Replay / Bell] is referred to as “normal SIN spilling stop eye”. In addition, in the following explanation, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Replay / Bar / Replay] is called “special SIN spill stop”, and among them, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Bar / Bar / Bar] Is called "bar stop eyes". Each SIN spilling stop eye is different from any of the stop eyes shown in FIG. In addition, each SIN spilling stop eye does not give a prize medal to the player even if it is stopped on the winning line, but is different from the stop stop eye.

  The main control CPU 40a then wins the SIN role, that is, the SIN win regardless of the stop button that is operated first when the stop operation timing by the player is the timing at which the SIN winning is possible when the SIN role is won. The SIN stop eye is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and the timing of the stop operation by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first, A normal SIN spill stop eye that is a normal SIN spill, that is, a normal SIN spill stop is displayed. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, if the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, A special SIN spilling stop, that is, a special SIN spilling stop eye is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, the timing of the stop operation by the player is the timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, and when the [bar] can be stopped and displayed in each row, If the stop button 23R for instructing to stop 13R is first operated, the bar stop eye is stopped and displayed among the special SIN spill stop eyes. In the present embodiment, when [bar] can be stopped and displayed in each column, symbols are arranged on each reel so that the SIN winning is not possible.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this case, the main control CPU 40a reads out the combination information from the main control RAM 40c, and performs a winning determination for determining whether a combination of symbols corresponding to the read combination information (winning combination) is stopped and displayed on the winning line. . Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line from the position signal input with each reel being stopped, and the combination is the role information. It is determined whether or not the winning mode corresponds to (winning role). When the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is a winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination (affirmative) based on the winning combination information. On the other hand, if the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is not the winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a does not win the winning combination based on the winning combination information (ie, the winning combination). Judgment of missing winning combination based on information.

  Then, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control according to the winning mode determined to be the winning. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting the gaming state and control for paying out prize medals in accordance with the prize mode. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is determined to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This winning instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to recognize the winning combination of the winning combination instructed by the variable game start command.

  Specifically, when determining the winning of the BB combination out of the BN combination, the main control CPU 40a performs the BB game control as a game state control for shifting from the next variable game to the BB game. In this BB game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of BB payouts of award medals awarded (paid out) to the player from the first variable game after the BB game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a ends the BB game with the end of the variable game in which the BB payout number exceeds the maximum payout number.

  Further, when determining the winning of the RB combination out of the BN combination, the main control CPU 40a performs the RB game control as the control of the game state for shifting from the next variable game to the RB game. In this RB game control, after starting the RB game, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of RB winning times accompanied by paying out award medals from the first variable game. Further, the main control CPU 40a ends the RB game with the end of the variable game in which the number of RB winning is the maximum number of winnings.

  When determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry stop eye so as to straddle the two winning lines L2 and L3 in the upper stage of the left reel 13L (upper stop position D1 for the left reel) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When the stop display is made, it is controlled to pay out four prize medals, which is twice the number of two winnings of two cherry roles. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops the cherry stop eye so as to straddle only one winning line L1 in the middle stage of the left reel 13L (left reel middle stop position D2) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When displayed, control is performed to pay out two prize medals. The main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the cherry role is missed when the cherry role is won.

  Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals. Note that the main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the watermelon role is missed when the watermelon role is won.

  When determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out four prize medals. When the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye which becomes the bell winning at the time of determining the winning of the bell role, three times the winning of the bell role is generated at the same time, which is three times four. Control to pay out 12 award medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out four prize medals when the bell stop eye that spills the bell is stopped and displayed at the time of determining the winning of the bell role. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

  When determining the replay winning combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. As such control, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined.

  When determining the winning of the SIN role, the main control CPU 40a performs SIN game control as a game state control for shifting to the SIN game for the next one-time variable game. In this SIN game control, the main control CPU 40a ends the SIN game with the end of one variable game that is the target of the SIN game. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the variable game to be the target of the SIN game so as to be in the gaming state at the time of winning the SIN role that triggered the SIN game. The main control CPU 40a does not perform the SIN game control when determining the SIN spillage when the SIN combination is won. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

Next, the transition state of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the variable game according to the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
When shifting the gaming state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the transitioned gaming state to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This state instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (the sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a changes to the BN game (BN) corresponding to the winning content from the next variation game, triggered by the occurrence of the BN winning combination (BN winning) in the general game, that is, the stop display of the BN stop. Transition. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the BB game with the stop display of the BB stop as a trigger, and shifts to the RB game with the stop display of the RB stop as a trigger. In this case, the main control CPU 40a makes the transition from the next variable game to the low probability RT game (low probability RT) regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning when the BN game ends.

  Further, during the control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and makes a transition to the high-probability RT game (high-definition RT) when a special SIN spill occurs in the SIN spill. During the control of the low probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and continues the low probability RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of a SIN prize or a normal SIN spill. That is, in the low probability RT game, if the special SIN spill stop eye is stopped and the SIN game is not performed even if the SIN role is won and the SIN spill stop eye is stopped, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is satisfied. In addition, in the low-accuracy RT game, when the SIN role is won and the SIN stop eye is stopped and the SIN game is played, or when the SIN role is won and the SIN spill stop eye is displayed, the normal SIN spill stop eye is stopped and displayed. When the game is not performed, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is not satisfied and the game is continued.

  Further, during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell and makes the transition to the low probability RT game when the bell spills. Note that during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role and continues the high probability RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the bell winning. That is, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and spills the bell is stopped and 12 award medals are not obtained (4 award medals are obtained), the low probability RT The game transition condition ("falling condition" which is the end of the high-definition RT game) is satisfied. In addition, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and is awarded a bell win is stopped and 12 award medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-definition RT game is not satisfied and is continued. The

In this way, the main control CPU 40a that performs control related to the RB game in the special game state functions as the special game control means when the RB combination winning the predetermined condition is triggered.
Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various commands such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the display contents of the effect display device 14 and the music of the speaker SP so as to execute various effects based on the contents instructed by the commands. The output content and the light emission mode of the lamp R are controlled. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a grasps the winning combination missed (non-winning) instructed by the variable game start command when the winning instruction command is not input. Further, since the sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the stop status of each reel, the sub-control CPU 41a can also grasp the missed winning combination from this stop status.

  In addition, when the state instruction command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub state information indicating which gaming state is controlled in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control for causing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state of the effect display device 14 in accordance with the game state controlled by the main control CPU 40a. As a result, the player plays a variable game according to the effect state of the effect display device 14. In such an effect state, the game state is recognized by the player based on the type, and an effect that allows the player to play the game advantageously is performed. The effect states in this embodiment are classified into a plurality of types as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, in the production state, there is an ART mode that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the ART mode. That is, an effect during ART based on such a display effect is performed. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state and an effect of assisting (assisting) the Bell winning a prize.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In the case of the preparation mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the preparation mode. That is, an effect during preparation based on such a display effect is performed. This preparation mode is a state in which a special SIN spill and an effect of assisting a bell winning are performed while the winning probability of the replay role is in a low probability lottery state.

  The effect state includes a normal mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In the case of the normal mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the normal mode. That is, a normal medium effect based on such a display effect is performed. This normal mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and the special SIN spilling and the effect of assisting the bell winning are not performed.

  The effect state includes a BN mode that is performed when the game state is BN game. The BN mode includes a BB mode performed when the game is a BB game and an RB mode performed when the game is an RB game. In the effect display device 14 in the BB mode, an image of the display screen for the BB mode is displayed. That is, an effect during BB based on such a display effect is performed. This BB mode is a state in which a bell combination can be won with a high probability and an effect assisting the Bell winning is performed. In the RB mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the RB mode. That is, an effect during RB based on such a display effect is performed. This RB mode is a state in which, in principle, the effect of assisting the winning of the bell is not performed while the winning of the bell role can be won with high probability.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a sets the effect flag (information) indicating the type of effect state in the sub control RAM 41c, thereby grasping the controlled effect state. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the image display data for the background image corresponding to the effect flag, and controls the display content (display screen) of the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. To do.

Hereinafter, the control contents in each effect state will be described together with the display effects in the effect display device 14.
As a result of performing the control in each effect state described below, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the effect state is shifted in the manner shown in FIG.

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a low probability RT game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the normal mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the normal mode (during normal mode control). In the normal mode, winning of BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win a BN role, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode corresponding to the winning content. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the BB mode when the winning of the BB combination is instructed, and shifts to the RB mode when the winning of the RB winning is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming according to the winning content.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform an effect that assists the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. In other words, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win a bell. In the normal mode, when a player wins the bell role, a bell win occurs when the player happens to push the correct answer.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an effect so as not to perform an effect that assists special spilling of SIN when the winning of the SIN role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. That is, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make special SIN spilling difficult. In the normal mode, a special SIN spill occurs when the player first operates the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R when the SIN combination is won.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. This ART rush lottery is either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, 1/260 when the sum is low probability) is based on the winning combination instructed to win. This is done by distributing random numbers. The sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery, while in the ART mode when deriving the “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery. Does not generate the right to transfer. In the ART rush lottery of the present embodiment, random numbers are distributed so that the ART first win probability calculated as “winning” calculated in consideration of the winning probability of each winning combination is approximately 1/260. .

  The random numbers used for the ART entry lottery and various lotteries described later are updated every predetermined cycle and stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub control CPU 41a acquires random numbers used in the lottery from the sub control RAM 41c when performing various lotteries, and performs random lottery based on the acquired random numbers.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets [1] to the ART flag indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. Set. That is, when the ART flag is set to [1], the generation of the ART mode is guaranteed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the setting contents of the ART flag even when the mode is shifted to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, “with an ART flag” means that the right to shift to the ART mode is generated, that is, the ART flag is [1]. Further, “without ART flag” means that the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred, that is, the ART flag is not [1] [0 (zero)].

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of "winning" in the ART entry lottery, and when the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. The production state is controlled so as to shift to the preparation mode for notification. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the preparation mode from the next variable game in which the occurrence of the right to shift to the ART mode is notified in a single effect or a continuous effect described later. In this case, the low probability RT game is continued in the game state. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the ART entry lottery.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a gives a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player if the stop button 23L is not operated first in each variable game. For example, as a penalty, do not start the ART mode control when instructing a special SIN spill, do not perform an ART rush lottery, or perform an ART rush lottery, but make sure that a “non-winning” result is derived. Or In the present embodiment, the special SIN spillage is prevented from occurring when the stop button 23L is first operated. As a result, during the normal mode, the ART mode cannot be entered unless the ART mode entry right is acquired by the ART entry lottery.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a is in a low-probability RT game, and after the ART flag is present during the low-probability RT game (there may be a predetermined number of times), the sub-control CPU 41a Control state to ready mode.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning instructions during the preparation mode (during preparation mode control). In the preparation mode, winning of BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win a BN role, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode corresponding to the winning content. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming according to the winning content.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs “bell navigation effect” for assisting the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so that a bell winning is assisted. Note that during the preparation mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  The bell navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating a stop button are displayed side by side, and a number “1” is attached to one of the three images. For example, when “1” is attached in the middle of the three, the player is made aware that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the bell role is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the correct push order according to the type of bell combination instructed to win. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the middle correct bell role, causes the stop button 23C to perform a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the operation first.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the SIN combination whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small combinations, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the “SIN navigation effect” to assist the SIN spillage. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so that special SIN spillage is assisted. In the preparation mode, a special SIN spill occurs when the player follows the SIN navigation effect when the SIN role is won.

  The SIN navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. The effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side, with “1” on the right, “2” in the middle, and “3” on the left of the three. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display the character string. In this SIN navigation effect, the stop button 23R should be operated first, and then the stop button 23C should be operated in the order of the stop button 23L, and each stop button at the timing of the stop operation for stopping and displaying [bar] on each reel. Let the player know what should be operated.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the SIN navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the SIN role is instructed. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the winning of the SIN role is actively notified by the SIN navigation effect.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since there is an ART flag, if the right to shift to the ART mode has occurred, the winning information of the SIN role and the special SIN spilling that will trigger the transition to the high probability RT game The information to be guided is notified, and the player is led to a highly reliable RT game.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the ART mode when a special SIN spill is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the ART mode when the game state is a high-definition RT game. Since the start of the ART mode control is triggered by a special SIN spill, it is synchronized with the start of the high-reliability RT game in the gaming state.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the ART mode (controlling the ART mode). Note that during the ART mode, winning and winning (missing) of the BN role, the cherry role, the watermelon role, the bell role, the replay role, and the SIN role are instructed.

  Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win a BN role, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode corresponding to the winning content. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming according to the winning content.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the “bell navigation effect” so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed as in the preparation mode when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Controls the display content of. That is, during the ART mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that during the ART mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  During the ART mode, the gaming state may shift to a low probability RT game due to bell spilling. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform a penalty effect during ART. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a causes a penalty effect during ART until the end of an ART mode described later or the occurrence of the next special SIN spillage. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a holds [1] in the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c even during the execution of a penalty effect during ART, as long as the ART mode described later is not finished. To do. Also in this case, since the sub-control CPU 41a holds [1] in the ART flag, it is only necessary to assist the bell winning by performing the bell navigation effect when instructing the winning of the bell role during the penalty effect during the ART. Rather, the SIN navigation effect is performed at the time of the instruction to win the SIN role during the performance, thereby assisting the return to the highly accurate RT game in the gaming state. In addition, during such a penalty during ART, while the game is assisted by a bell navigation effect or a SIN navigation effect, the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, so there is no benefit from the high-probability RT game.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a stores the remaining G number indicating the number of times of the variable game that can be performed in the ART mode in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. This remaining G number is also the number of times that the game can be assisted by the player by means of a bell navigation effect in the ART mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the remaining G number even when a transition is made to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the remaining G number is not set while the remaining G number is not set. Further, when the remaining G number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), the remaining G number is set while the remaining G number is being set.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number when shifting to the ART mode from when the remaining G number is not set. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time the start of the variable game is instructed in the ART mode. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of variable games that can be performed in the ART mode, that is, the number of variable games that have elapsed since the start of the ART mode, based on the variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c using the effect display device 14. Thereby, the player can be made aware of the number of times that the variable game is performed in the ART mode.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART mode from the setting of the remaining G number, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the ART mode with the remaining G number being set. The transition from the setting of the remaining G number to the ART mode is caused by the transition (return) from the BN mode to the ART mode which is won during the ART mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing for adding and extending the period of the ART mode based on the winning instructions of various winning combinations. That is, when the winning of various winning combinations is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a performs an extra lottery for adding and adding the remaining G number stored in the sub control RAM 41c. In this extra lottery, any one of “10 times”, “20 times”, “30 times”, “50 times”, and “100 times” is set to have a predetermined winning probability based on the winning combination instructed to win. This is done by assigning random numbers to the number of additions. The sub-control CPU 41a determines to generate an extra number of remaining Gs stored in the sub-control RAM 41c based on the result of the extra lottery. For example, when a result of “50 times” is derived in the extra lottery, an additional number of remaining G numbers of the extra number “50 times” occurs, and a result of “100 times” is derived in the extra lottery. In this case, an additional G number of “100 times” is generated.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of “10 times” to “100 times” as a result of the extra lottery, the number of extra times based on the result is added to the remaining G number. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the continuation (addition), that is, extension of the ART mode is realized by the occurrence of the addition by the extra lottery.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the remaining G number for the set under control by the extra lottery. In addition, when adding the remaining number of G stored in the sub control RAM 41c, the sub control CPU 41a notifies the player of the number of additions during the variable game that is the target of the addition. Controls the display content of. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform an extra lottery during a penalty effect during an ART or a high-definition RT effect.

  Then, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a can execute the next variable game if the ART mode continuation condition is satisfied (continuation). The effect state is controlled to continue the ART mode. On the other hand, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the next fluctuation if the ART mode continuation condition is not satisfied (non-continuation). The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that a high-assist RT effect for notifying the end of the ART mode from the game is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a continuation rate indicating a rate (probability) at which the continuation used in the ART continuous lottery of the ART mode after the transition is achieved when generating the right to transition to the ART mode. The determination of the continuation rate is performed by assigning random numbers to any of the ratios at which continuation is achieved: “50%”, “60%”, “66%”, and “75%”. The sub-control CPU 41a is easy to determine in the order of “75%” <“66%” <“60%” <“50%”.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART continuous lottery when the start of the variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)” is instructed during the ART mode. This ART continuous lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either [continue] or [non-continue] so that the continuation rate determined when the right to transition to the ART mode is generated. The sub-control CPU 41a grasps the continuation rate used in the ART continuous lottery from information (flag or the like) indicating the continuation rate stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [continuation (winning)] in the ART continuous lottery. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [non-continuation (non-winning)] in the ART continuous lottery.

  Then, when deriving [continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a again adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c as the continuation condition is satisfied (re-addition). And the production state is controlled so as to continue the ART mode.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 41a for sub-control derives [non-continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the high-precision RT effect is performed as the continuation condition is not satisfied. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the high-accuracy RT effect and then performs the high-accuracy RT effect until the occurrence of bell spillage. The sub-control CPU 41a sets [0 (zero)] to the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c in accordance with the highly accurate RT effect.

  During such a high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is not setting the remaining G number, so that the display content of the effect display device 14 is not performed so that the bell navigation effect is not performed even if the bell role is won. To control. That is, during the high-precision RT production, the production is performed so that it is difficult to avoid the bell spill and the bell winning is difficult. In addition, during high-definition RT production, bell spillage is avoided in a scene where the player happens to push in the correct order when he wins the bell role, and a bell win occurs. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode in response to a bell spill during the high-definition RT effect. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game.

  In this embodiment, the ART mode is controlled by dividing a variable game corresponding to the remaining G number (grant number) into unit periods with one set. Further, depending on the establishment of the ART mode continuation condition, the control is again made to the ART mode for one set after the passage (digestion) of the ART mode for one set. Further, when the ART mode continuation condition is not established, the ART mode control is terminated with the progress (digestion) of one set of ART mode as an end condition. Therefore, in this embodiment, the continuation (loop) of the ART mode, that is, the extension is realized by the establishment of the continuation condition of the ART mode.

Next, the contents of control in the BN mode will be described.
First, the BB mode will be described.
When the game state is BB game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the BB mode. Note that the start of the control in the BB mode is synchronized with the start of the BB game in the gaming state because it is triggered by the winning of the BB combination (BN winning).

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the number corresponding to the BB payout number managed by the main control CPU 40a during the BB mode. The sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the number corresponding to the BB payout number based on the winning results instructed by various commands.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the BB mode (in the control of the BB mode). In the BB mode, the winning of a bell role and winning are mainly instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed in the same manner as in the ART mode when the winning of the bell role is instructed. That is, during the BB mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the winning of a bell winning mainly. During the BB mode, the player wins the bell winning when the player follows the bell navigation effect when the player wins the bell role.

  Further, when the end of the BB game is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift from the next variable game to the normal mode or the preparation mode based on the setting state of the ART flag. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode if there is no ART flag when the BB mode ends (BN end). On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the preparation mode if the ART flag is present when the BN mode ends (BN end). During the preparation mode for shifting in this way, since the sub-control CPU 41a has an ART flag, it has acquired the right to shift to the ART mode, so that a highly reliable RT game, that is, the ART mode is entered. It will guide the player.

Next, the RB mode will be described.
When the gaming state is RB gaming, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the RB mode. Note that the start of the control in the RB mode is synchronized with the start of the RB game in the gaming state because the RB winning combination (BN winning) is triggered.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the number of times corresponding to the number of RB winnings managed by the main control CPU 40a during the RB mode. The sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the number of times corresponding to the number of RB winning based on the winning result instructed by various commands.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the RB mode (during RB mode control). In the RB mode, the winning of a bell role and winning are mainly instructed.

  When the winning of the bell role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a informs the winning of the bell role, and causes a “challenge effect” to match the correct push order (bell winning) with the player's own intuition. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the RB mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win a bell. In the RB mode, when a player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell when the player pushes in the correct order.

  The challenge effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating a stop button are displayed side by side, and a question mark is attached to each of the images. In this case, since a question mark is displayed, the player himself does not grasp which stop button should be operated first, and the player himself selects it. As a result of the player himself selecting which stop button should be operated first, if the correct answer is the push order, a bell win will be generated, and a stop display across multiple winning lines based on the bell role will be displayed. If the answer is incorrect, bell spilling occurs, and a stop display across only one winning line based on the bell combination is displayed.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a has a chance to generate the right to shift to the ART mode in the RB mode (hereinafter referred to as “RB mode without the ART flag”) due to the winning of the winning RB role from the absence of the ART flag. In other words, an opportunity to acquire a privilege advantageous for the player is given. During such an RB mode, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a lottery related to the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode, and when the right to shift to the ART mode is generated, processing such as determination of the continuation rate used in the ART continuous lottery I do.

  That is, during the RB mode from the ART flag absence, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the bell winning based on the winning of the bell role, that is, the player's stop operation is a specific stop based on the bonus grant pattern described later for each variable game. A process related to the generation of the right to enter the ART mode (whether or not to generate it) is performed upon the coincidence with the correct answer in the pressing order as the operation.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the occurrence of the right to shift to the ART mode at a predetermined timing when controlling with the ART flag in connection with the execution (during control) of the RB mode from the absence of the ART flag. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. The processing related to generation of the right to shift to the ART mode performed during the RB mode will be described in detail later.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a has a chance to generate an additional remaining G number in the RB mode (hereinafter referred to as "RB mode with ART flag") due to the winning of the winning RB role with the ART flag. In other words, a chance to acquire a privilege advantageous for the player is given. During the RB mode from the presence of the ART flag, the state with the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is maintained, so that the right to shift to the ART mode has already occurred. During such an RB mode, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing related to the addition of the remaining G number.

  That is, during the RB mode from the presence of the ART flag, the sub-control CPU 41a generates a bell winning based on the winning of the bell role, that is, the player's stop operation is a specific stop based on the bonus grant pattern described later for each variable game. A process related to the addition of the remaining G number is performed in response to the correct push order answer as an operation.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the occurrence of the addition of the remaining G number at a predetermined timing when the addition of the remaining G number is generated in association with the execution (in control) of the RB mode from the presence of the ART flag. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled.

  For this reason, in the RB game according to the present embodiment, during the RB mode, the bell winning assistance is not performed, but a privilege (rushing or continuation) regarding the ART mode is given, and as a result, the right to transition to the ART mode is granted. By adding the number of occurrences and the remaining G number, it can be positioned as an important scene that affects the development of subsequent games.

  In addition, when the end of the RB game is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift from the next variable game to the normal mode or the preparation mode based on the setting state of the ART flag. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode if there is no ART flag when the RB mode ends (BN end). On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the preparation mode if there is an ART flag when the RB mode ends (BN end). During the preparation mode for shifting in this way, since the sub-control CPU 41a has an ART flag, it has acquired the right to shift to the ART mode, so that a highly reliable RT game, that is, the ART mode is entered. It will guide the player.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, during the ART mode, not only the gaming state is a high-definition RT game but also an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play a game advantageously in a variable game is performed. State. As a result, in the ART mode, the number of scenes where the player holds (injects) medals is reduced, and the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted, and the acquisition of award medals based on the bell winning is assisted. For this reason, it becomes an advantageous state for the player during the ART mode.

  In addition, during the normal mode, it is possible to obtain a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game through the ART rush lottery. However, an effect for the player to play the game advantageously in the variable game (bell navigation effect or SIN This is a state in which no navigation effect is performed. Thereby, in the normal mode, special spilling and bell winning are not assisted. For this reason, during the normal mode, the player cannot be brought into an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, during the preparation mode, while the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, an effect (bell navigation effect or SIN navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. As a result, in the preparation mode, special SIN spilling, that is, the transition to the high-accuracy RT game is assisted, and the acquisition of the prize medal based on the bell winning is assisted. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the player is in an advantageous state (advantageous gaming state). Further, during the preparation mode, the player can be guided to a state advantageous to the player.

Note that during the high-definition RT effect, an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is not performed, but since the game state is the high-definition RT game, the player is in an advantageous state.
Accordingly, in the present embodiment, a state that is advantageous for the player (advantageous gaming state) is from the preparation mode to the normal mode through the high-definition RT effect. It should be noted that during the ART penalty performance, a situation may occur because the player did not follow the bell navigation effect, and a penalty (disadvantage) is given such as shifting to a low probability RT game. It becomes. However, during the penalty performance during ART, not only the effect for the player to play the game (Bell Navi effect) but also the return to the high-precision RT game is assisted, so the minimum benefit is guaranteed. The

  Further, even in the BN mode, particularly during the BB mode, the game state is BB game, and an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. Thereby, in the BB mode, a prize medal based on a bell prize is assisted. For this reason, during the BB mode, the player is in an advantageous state (advantageous gaming state) that allows the player to continuously obtain award medals based on the winning of the bell role.

  Further, even in the BN mode, particularly during the RB mode, the game state is RB game, and the player is in a state of challenging (challenge) to acquire a privilege related to the ART mode (advantageous game grant privilege). Thereby, in the RB mode, a prize medal based on a bell prize is not assisted. On the other hand, during the RB mode, it is advantageous (possibly advantageous) for the player who is given a chance to obtain a privilege related to the ART mode instead of continuously acquiring the award medal based on the winning of the bell role. It becomes a state.

  Further, in the production state of the present embodiment, in the normal mode, the preparation mode, and the ART mode (including during the high-definition RT production), sub-states that influence the development of the game are further set. This sub-state defines advantages and disadvantages in terms of the entry and extension (addition) of the ART mode in the game development. In other words, during the normal mode, an ART rush lottery is performed with development corresponding to the sub-state of the normal mode, that is, with a winning probability. Further, during the ART mode, development according to the sub-state of the ART mode, that is, an extra lottery is performed with a winning probability.

  Further, this sub-state regulates advantages and disadvantages regarding the provision of a privilege related to the ART mode in the RB mode among the development of the game, and affects the development of the ART mode through the RB mode. In other words, during the RB mode, the provision of each privilege related to the ART mode is processed by the development according to the sub-state set at the time of winning the RB role that became the trigger for the transition to the RB mode. .

  During normal mode, there is no ART flag except for the special situation until there is an ART flag and the transition to the preparation mode. Depending on the winning of the RB role during this period, there is no ART flag. It becomes the RB mode by the occurrence of winning of the RB combination. For this reason, during such an RB mode, an opportunity to acquire the right to transition to the ART mode is given as a privilege related to the ART mode. Further, during the RB mode due to the occurrence of the RB winning combination without the ART flag, if the acquisition of the right to shift to the ART mode is satisfied in the middle of the RB mode, a special privilege (benefits privilege) is further given. As such a special privilege, there is a chance to increase the continuation rate (hereinafter referred to as “continuation rate increase”) determined in accordance with the subsequent generation of the right to transfer.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9A, the normal mode includes a plurality of types (in this embodiment, which influence development in the RB mode based on winning of the RB role won during the normal mode). Two types of sub-states (L / H mode) can be set. That is, in this embodiment, the normal mode (L) in which the sub state is set to the LOW mode (hereinafter referred to as “L mode”) as the first state, and the HI mode (in which the sub state is the second state) ( Hereinafter, there is a normal mode (H) set to “H mode”. Note that in the normal mode, the main normal medium performance is performed in such a way that the player cannot recognize the difference regardless of the sub-state, and the appearance mode such as a notice effect (suggested effect) related to the winning role In some cases, the player can grasp the difference from the type (appearance frequency of a specific type, etc.).

  As shown in FIG. 9A, in the normal mode (L) in which the sub state is the L mode, the ART winning during RB indicating the ease of generating the right to shift to the ART mode during the RB mode is defined as [Low]. ing. In the normal mode (H) in which the sub state is the H mode, ART winning during RB is defined as [high]. That is, in the normal mode (H), various processes are performed so that the right to shift to the ART mode in the RB mode is more likely to occur than in the normal mode (L). In the normal mode (H), various processes are performed so that it is easier to win the ART entry lottery performed in the normal mode than in the normal mode (L). In the normal mode (H), the probability of winning in the ART entry lottery is set to a high probability (for example, 1/100), and in the normal mode (L), the probability of winning in the ART entry lottery is low. Set to (1/260).

  During the preparation / ART mode, a scene with the ART flag is set, and depending on the winning of the RB combination during this period, the RB mode is set when the winning of the RB combination with the ART flag is generated. For this reason, during such an RB mode, by adding the remaining G number as a privilege related to the ART mode, a chance to be extended by adding the period of the ART mode is given.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9B, in the preparation mode or the ART mode (hereinafter referred to as “preparation / ART mode”), in the RB mode based on winning of the RB role won in these modes. A plurality of types (two in this embodiment) of sub-states (L / H mode) that influence the development can be set. That is, in the present embodiment, there are a preparation / ART mode (L) in which the sub state is set to the L mode described above and a preparation / ART mode (H) in which the sub state is set to the HI mode described above. In the preparation / ART mode, the main normal effects are performed so that the player cannot recognize the difference in appearance regardless of the sub state, and the notice effect (suggested effect) related to the winning role is performed. The player may be able to grasp the difference from the appearance mode (type, appearance frequency of a specific type, etc.).

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the sub-state is in the L mode preparation / ART mode (L), the number of times of adding in the RB indicating the ease of increasing the number of times of adding the remaining G number in the RB mode is [ Low]. In addition, when the sub-state is H mode preparation / ART mode (H), the number of additions during RB is defined as [high]. That is, in the preparation / ART mode (H), various processes are performed so that the number of times of adding the remaining G number during the RB mode is likely to be larger than in the preparation / ART mode (L). In particular, in the preparation / ART mode (H) that becomes the ART mode, it is easier to win the extra lottery performed in the preparation / ART mode than in the preparation / ART mode (L) that becomes the ART mode. Various processes are performed.

  In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a goes back and forth between the L mode and the H mode with a predetermined winning probability based on the winning combination instructed to win with the variable game start command based on the start of the variable game during the normal mode and the preparation / ART mode. Control to do. In particular, the sub-control CPU 41a starts from the variation game after the “1001th”, when the variation game that has passed since the previous BB mode (BB game) or RB mode (RB combination) reaches “1000 times”. It has a so-called “ceiling function” that controls the sub state to shift to the H mode and continue until the next winning combination of BB or RB. Depending on such a ceiling function, control is performed so that the mode is shifted to the H mode regardless of the type of the production state based only on the number of times of the fluctuating game that has passed since the previous BB mode (BB game) or RB mode (RB combination). . In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the sub-state to be in the L mode during the ART penalty mode, and controls to enter the L mode when shifting from the ART-penalty effect to another effect state. .

The sub control CPU 41a that controls (manages) the sub state in this way functions as a sub control means.
Next, the process performed by the sub-control CPU 41a related to the effect during the chance of acquiring the privilege related to the ART mode (hereinafter referred to as “challenge effect”) performed during the RB mode will be described in more detail.

First, the flow of challenge production will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the challenge effect is mainly performed by the effect display device 14. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), with the start of the first floating game (first game) after winning the RB role, that is, the RB mode, the effect display device 14 displays a question mark along with "Hold the pushing order". A challenge start image Ga simulating three stop buttons marked with is displayed and a challenge effect is performed. Further, with the start of the RB mode, the effect display device 14 displays the privilege images TK1, TK2, TK3, TK4, and TK5 in the lower region in order from the left.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the privilege images TK1 to TK5 of the present embodiment are privilege contents when the push order correct answer is achieved during the RB mode, and the continuous correct answer continues to be pushed in order from the start of the RB mode. The contents indicate the benefits of the variable game for five times, which is a predetermined upper limit number of times of continuous correct answers. In other words, in the privilege images TK1 to TK5, the privilege contents related to the ART mode that can be acquired by the bell winning in the RB mode are displayed. In addition, these privilege images TK1 to TK5 correspond to the number of times that a bell winning, that is, a correct push order is achieved in five variable games in the RB mode in order from the left.

  For this reason, the content of the privilege image TK1 is the case where the correct push order is achieved once during the RB mode, and indicates the privilege content of the first variation game (first game) from the start of the RB mode. For example, in FIG. 10A, as such a privilege, privilege notification for notifying the content of “壱” described later is performed.

  Further, the content of the privilege image TK2 is a case where the push order correct answer is achieved twice in the RB mode, which is the next stage, and the push order correct answer continues from the start of the RB mode. The contents of the privilege of the second variation game (second game) are shown. For example, in FIG. 10A, as such a privilege, privilege notification for notifying the content of [弐] described later is performed.

  Further, the content of the privilege image TK3 is the case where it is achieved three times, which is the next stage in which the push order correct answer is achieved twice during the RB mode, and the push order correct answer continues from the start of the RB mode. The privilege contents of the third variation game (third game) are shown. For example, in FIG. 10A, as such a privilege, privilege notification for notifying the content of “high” described later is performed.

  Further, the content of the privilege image TK4 is the case where the push order correct answer is achieved three times during the RB mode, which is the next stage, which is the next stage, and the push order correct answer continues from the start of the RB mode. The privilege contents of the fourth variation game (fourth game) are shown. For example, in FIG. 10A, as such a privilege, privilege notification for notifying the content of “super” described later is performed.

  Further, the content of the privilege image TK5 is the case where the push order correct answer is achieved four times during the RB mode and is achieved five times (all), which is the first stage to the fourth time from the start of the RB mode. The contents of the privilege of the fifth variation game (fifth game) at the time of continuous correct answers that continue to be pushed in the variation game in the correct order are shown. For example, in FIG. 10A, as such a privilege, privilege notification for notifying the content of “ART” to be described later is performed.

  As described above, in the challenge effect of the present embodiment, the privilege images TK1 to TK5 are displayed in order from the left, and as a result, the privilege content every time the push order correct answer is achieved during the RB mode is once → twice → three times → The notification is made step by step so as to be 4 times to 5 times. That is, in the challenge effect, in the first stage of the correct push order answer, the privilege content that is achieved once is to be notified in the privilege image TK1. Subsequently, the privilege content of the second achievement to be achieved next in the first step of the correct push order is notified in the privilege image TK2, and further three achievements to be achieved next in the second step of the correct push order answer. The privilege content is notified on the privilege image TK3. Subsequently, the privilege content that is achieved four times after the third step of the correct push order is notified in the privilege image TK4, and the privilege that is achieved five times after the fourth step of the correct push order The content is informed of the privilege in the privilege image TK5.

  In addition, the effect display device 14 notifies the privilege content given when the push order correct answer is achieved in the current variation game by blink display of the privilege image, while the push order correct answer is achieved in the future variable game. The privilege content to be given is notified by turning off the privilege image. In addition, in the effect display apparatus 14, the privilege content which is acquired by achieving a pressing order correct answer is alert | reported by the lighting display of a privilege image.

  Then, in the effect display device 14, when the correct answer in the pressing order is achieved (correct answer), the success image Gb of “XX acquisition” (“XX” means the content of the privilege) is displayed together with “correct answer”. The player is notified of the achievement of the correct push order. Further, in the effect display device 14, after displaying the success image Gb, a privilege image indicating the content of the privilege based on the achievement of the push order correct answer is displayed in a lighted manner, and the acquisition of the privilege is notified. For example, in FIG. 10B, since the acquisition of such a privilege is the achievement of the correct push order in the first variation game in the RB mode, the privilege image TK1 is lit and displayed as “壱” described later. The acquisition of the privilege of the content is notified.

  On the other hand, in the effect display device 14, when the correct push order is not achieved (incorrect answer), a failure image Gc of “sorry” is displayed, and the player is notified that the correct push order is not achieved. Furthermore, after the failure image Gc is displayed, the effect display device 14 maintains the display mode of the privilege image at that time, and notifies the content of the privilege that can be acquired by the achievement of the correct pushing order. For example, in FIG. 10 (c), as the contents of the privilege that can be acquired by achieving such a subsequent push order correct answer, the push order correct answer in the first variation game in the RB mode has not been achieved. TK1 keeps blinking display, and the contents of the privilege with “と す る” to be described later are notified.

  Thereafter, the effect display device 14 repeats the flow of FIGS. 10A to 10C four times during the RB mode, and the effect of such a flow is repeated five times in total. Further, in the effect display device 14, when the privilege image TK1 and the privilege image TK2 are turned on, the correct push order is achieved twice, and the privilege based on the content notified by these has been acquired. Is notified. As the last game of the RB mode ends, as a result of this challenge effect, notification of the occurrence of the right to transition to the ART mode, the addition of the remaining G number, and the like is given.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the sub-control CPU 41a sequentially determines the privilege contents to be given to the player for each correct answer in the push order in the challenge effect when starting the RB mode, and the privilege images TK1 to TK5. A pattern determination lottery is performed for determining a privilege grant pattern that defines the content to be displayed. This pattern determination lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to each deciding privilege grant pattern so as to have a predetermined winning probability based on the gaming state at the time of winning the RB role that triggered the RB mode to be started. . The sub-control CPU 41a sets information (flag or the like) indicating the privilege grant pattern determined by the pattern determination lottery in a predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c, and the privilege content to be given to the player by the challenge effect. Can be grasped.

Here, the privilege grant pattern will be described.
As shown in FIG. 12A, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of privilege grant patterns are prepared (in this embodiment, 12 types), and these privilege grant patterns are in the normal mode and in the preparation / ART mode. , It is distributed so that it can be determined in any of the ART during penalty production.

  That is, five types of privilege grant patterns TP1 to TP5 (hereinafter referred to as “normal privilege grant pattern”) are assigned to the winning of the RB role in the normal mode that becomes the RB mode without the ART flag. Yes. In addition, one type of privilege grant pattern TP6 (hereinafter referred to as “penalty privilege grant pattern”) is assigned to the winning of the RB role during the ART penalty performance that becomes the RB mode from the presence of the ART flag. Yes. In addition, six types of privilege grant patterns TP7 to TP12 (hereinafter referred to as “preparation / ART privilege grant pattern”) for the winning of the RB role in the preparation / art mode that becomes the RB mode from the presence of the ART flag. Is distributed.

  Specifically, the normal privilege grant pattern is a winning combination of the RB in the normal mode, and defines the privilege content related to the right to transition to the ART mode in a challenge effect. There are five special benefits to be given to players of “壱”, “弐”, “High”, “Super”, “ART” and “Opportunity”. ing. In the present embodiment, the same privilege content may be redundantly determined as the privilege content.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, “ｂ”, “弐”, “high”, and “super” are opportunities that lead to the occurrence of the transition to the ART mode with a predetermined probability, that is, “ It means privilege content such as “ART winning in x%” (“x” is each numerical value). “壱” is “1%”, “弐” is “5%”, “high” is “30%”, and “super” is “50%”. “ART” means that the occurrence of the transition to the ART mode is confirmed, that is, the privilege content such as “confirmed”. “Opportunity” means privilege content such as “continuation rate increase” after the occurrence of the transition to ART mode, that is, the continuation rate increases. In this embodiment, the “opportunity” is determined only at the timing after “ART” after the occurrence of the transition to the ART mode.

  Each of the normal privilege grant patterns has a characteristic tendency by differentiating the privilege content distribution mode. That is, the number of achievements (the number of affirmations) of the correct push order leading to “confirm” is reduced in the order of privilege grant pattern TP1 <privilege grant pattern TP2 <privilege grant pattern TP3 <privilege grant pattern TP4 <privilege grant pattern TP5. In this order, the number of “opportunity” benefits is increased.

  In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP1 may lead to the transition to the ART mode when the correct answer is pushed in the middle, but the push correct answer is not achieved even once in the RB mode and does not reach "confirmation". It has the most disadvantageous tendency for players.

  In addition, there is a possibility that the privilege grant pattern TP2 may lead to the transition to the ART mode when the correct answer is in the middle of pushing order. Has a disadvantageous tendency for under-performing players. Note that the privilege grant pattern TP2 may reach “confirmed” even if the push order correct answer is not achieved once, and there is a chance of “opportunity” if all the push correct answers are achieved. Tend to be advantageous to the player.

  In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP3 may lead to the transition to the ART mode with the correct push order in the middle, but the push order correct answer is not achieved at least twice during the RB mode, It has a tendency that it is neither disadvantageous nor advantageous to a player who does not reach. Note that the bonus grant pattern TP3 may be “confirmed” even if the push order correct answer is not achieved if it is twice, and there is a chance of “opportunity” even if the push correct answer is not achieved once. Compared with the pattern TP1, the player has an advantageous tendency.

  In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP4 is likely to cause the transition to the ART mode when the correct push order is in the middle, and is advantageous to the player who achieves “confirmation” by achieving the correct push order twice or more during the RB mode. It has a tendency. Note that the privilege grant pattern TP4 has a tendency to be advantageous for a player who has achieved the chance of “opportunity” even if the correct answer of the push order has been achieved and reached the “fixed” result when the correct answer of the push order has not been achieved twice.

  Further, the privilege grant pattern TP5 has the most advantageous tendency for the player who achieves the correct answer by pushing even once and reaches “confirmed”. Note that the privilege grant pattern TP5 achieves “fixed” by achieving the correct answer in the first push order, and there is a chance of “opportunity” even if the correct answer in the push order is not achieved three times, compared to the privilege grant pattern TP4. Also have an advantageous trend for players.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines any one of the normal privilege grant patterns by the pattern determination lottery when the winning of the RB combination in the normal mode is instructed. In the pattern determination lottery in this case, regardless of the sub-state, random numbers are distributed so that it is easier to determine in the order of privilege grant pattern TP5 <privilege grant pattern TP4 <privilege grant pattern TP3 <privilege grant pattern TP2 <privilege grant pattern TP1. ing. For this reason, in this embodiment, regardless of the sub-states, a pattern showing a tendency that is advantageous to the player is difficult to determine, and a pattern that shows a tendency that is disadvantageous to the player is easily determined.

  Further, in the pattern determination lottery in this case, when the sub state is the H mode, the privilege grant pattern TP3 that is not disadvantageous for the player as compared to the L mode and the privilege grant patterns TP4 and TP5 advantageous for the player are easily determined. The random numbers are distributed so that the privilege grant patterns TP1 and TP2 which are disadvantageous to the player are difficult to determine. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the sub state is the H mode, the player is likely to be more advantageous than the L mode. That is, the sub-mode H mode is more advantageous for the player than the L mode.

  Also, the privilege grant pattern for preparation / ART is a winning RB role in the preparation / ART mode (including during high-definition RT production), and defines the privilege content related to the addition of the remaining G number in the challenge production. . In the bonus grant patterns for preparation / ART, five of the bonus contents to be given to the players of “+ 10G”, “+ 20G”, “+ 30G”, “+ 50G”, and “+ 100G” are defined. . In the present embodiment, the same privilege content may be redundantly determined as the privilege content.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, “+ 10G”, “+ 20G”, “+ 30G”, “+ 50G”, and “+ 100G” are added by adding the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Means the privilege content. “+ 10G” means “10 times extra”, “+ 20G” means “20 times extra”, “+ 30G” means “30 times extra”, “+ 50G” means “50 times extra”, “+ 100G” defines “100 additions”.

  And each of the privilege grant pattern for preparation / ART has a characteristic tendency by making the distribution mode of privilege content different. In other words, the number of achievements of the correct push order that leads to the addition of the remaining G number greater than “+ 10G” in the order of the privilege grant pattern TP7 <privilege grant pattern TP8 <privilege grant pattern TP9 <privilege grant pattern TP10 <privilege grant pattern TP11. Since (the number of affirmations) is reduced, the number of times that can be expected by adding the remaining G number is increased in this order.

  Furthermore, the bonus grant pattern TP7 does not result in an increase in the remaining G number of times greater than “+ 10G” unless the achievement of the correct push order answer of 3 times or more is achieved in the RB mode. It has the most unfavorable tendency for the player who can be stopped by adding the remaining G number of “+ 50G” at the maximum.

  In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP8 does not increase the remaining G number of times greater than “+ 10G” unless the push order correct answer is achieved four times or more in the RB mode, but the push order correct answer is four times or more. Then, it has a disadvantageous tendency for a player who reaches a relatively large number of remaining G numbers such as “+ 50G” and “+ 100G”. In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP8 is added to the remaining number of G more than the maximum number of times “+ 50G” defined in the privilege grant pattern TP7 with four or more push order correct answers. Tend to be advantageous to the user.

  In addition, the privilege grant patterns TP9 and TP10 do not increase the remaining G number more than “+ 10G” unless the correct answer of the push order is achieved three times or more in the RB mode, but the push is not less than three times. In the correct answer, there is a tendency that it is neither disadvantageous nor advantageous for a player who reaches a relatively large number of remaining G numbers such as “+ 30G”, “+ 50G”, and “+ 100G”. The privilege grant patterns TP9 and TP10 have an advantageous tendency for the player as compared with the privilege grant pattern TP8 because the remaining G number of “+ 30G” or more is added by pushing the correct answer three times or more. . In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP10 results in an addition of the remaining G number of “+ 50G” with three correct push order answers and an increase in the remaining G number of “+ 100G” with four or more correct push order answers. The player has a tendency that is more advantageous for the player than the privilege grant pattern TP9.

  In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP11 increases the remaining G number of times greater than “+ 10G” by achieving two or more push order correct answers during the RB mode, and “+ 100G by achieving four or more push order correct answers. It has a tendency that is advantageous to the player who reaches the remaining G number.

  In addition, the privilege grant pattern TP12 is the most advantageous for the player who achieves the correct answer of the push order by adding “+ 100G” to the remaining G number, and increases the remaining G number of “+ 100G” for each push order correct answer. It has a tendency.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines any of the privilege grant patterns for preparation / ART by pattern determination lottery when the winning of the RB combination in the preparation / ART mode is instructed. In the pattern determination lottery in this case, regardless of the sub state, it becomes easier to determine in the order of the privilege grant pattern TP12 <privilege grant pattern TP11 <privilege grant pattern TP10 <privilege grant pattern TP9 <privilege grant pattern TP8 <privilege grant pattern TP7. Random numbers are distributed as follows. For this reason, in this embodiment, regardless of the sub-states, a pattern showing a tendency that is advantageous to the player is difficult to determine, and a pattern that shows a tendency that is disadvantageous to the player is easily determined.

  Further, in the pattern determination lottery in this case, when the sub state is the H mode, privilege grant patterns TP9 and TP10 that are not disadvantageous for the player as compared to the L mode and privilege grant patterns TP11 and TP12 advantageous for the player are determined. Random numbers are distributed to make it easier to do. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the sub state is the H mode, the player is likely to be more advantageous than the L mode. That is, the sub-mode H mode is more advantageous for the player than the L mode.

  Moreover, the privilege grant pattern for a penalty is the winning of the RB role during the penalty effect during the ART, and defines the privilege content regarding the addition of the remaining G number in the challenge effect. Only the privilege content to be granted to the “+ 10G” player is defined in the penalty grant pattern. In this privilege grant pattern TP6, the same privilege content is redundantly defined as the privilege content.

  In addition, since all the bonus grant patterns for penalties can only be added to the remaining G number of “+ 10G” even if the correct answer is achieved in order of push, preparation for determining the bonus content regarding the addition of the remaining G number / art Compared to the privilege grant pattern, it is disadvantageous for the player and has the most disadvantageous tendency.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines one of the bonus grant patterns for the penalty by the pattern determination lottery when the winning of the RB combination during the penalty effect during the ART is instructed. In the pattern determination lottery in this case, since a penalty is being given regardless of the sub state, random numbers are distributed so as to determine only the privilege grant pattern TP6. For this reason, in this embodiment, if the penalty is in the process of giving off a bell spill while originally in the ART mode, the remaining G number is also used when the RB role is won during this period. Penalty is given that the tendency to add is the most disadvantageous.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each of the privilege grant patterns, the privilege content is distributed so as to become the privilege content having a high advantage for the player if the push order correct answer is continuously achieved. That is, in the present embodiment, with respect to the privilege contents before and after the stage determined in each privilege grant pattern, the privilege contents at the previous stage are advantageous compared to the privilege contents at the later stage, that is, the advantage level is not increased. ing. For example, in the normal privilege grant pattern, when the privilege content that comes first is compared with the privilege content that comes later, the privilege content that comes later gives the right to transition to the ART mode. It tends to occur. Note that depending on the continuation rate increase, the ART mode will be extended compared to the case where the right to transition to the ART mode is simply generated. It can be said. Moreover, in the privilege grant pattern for preparation / ART, when the privilege content that comes first is compared with the privilege content that comes later, the privilege content that comes later is added to the remaining G number. The number of times is likely to increase. In particular, in the benefit related to the addition of the remaining G number, the cumulative number of remaining G increases as the push-order correct answer is achieved when considered cumulatively.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the privilege content related to the addition of the remaining G number can be generated in a situation where the ART mode transfer right has already been generated. In other words, depending on the addition of the remaining G number, in addition to the already-controlled ART mode, the ART mode can be further extended, and it is sufficient to achieve a forward correct answer even once for the extension. It has become. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the privilege content related to the ART mode transition right is hardly present except for the privilege grant pattern TP5 in which the achievement of the right to transition to the ART mode with the achievement of one push order correct answer is generated. For this reason, in the RB mode with the ART flag, privilege contents that are advantageous to the player and have a high degree of advantage are set compared to the RB mode without the ART flag.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a determines a privilege grant pattern according to the situation regarding the ART flag when the RB combination is won and the situation regarding the sub state. When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the privilege grant pattern in this way, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform a challenge effect with the start of the RB mode that becomes an RB game. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a summarizes the privilege contents that are given every time the push order correct answer is achieved once to five times based on the previously determined privilege grant pattern, that is, the challenge effect. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to notify the player of benefits from the start. The sub-control CPU 41a that performs control for informing the privilege in this way functions as the privilege notification control means.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the privilege image TK1 is blinked and the other privilege images TK2 to TK5 are turned off. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a issues a control instruction to turn on and display the privilege image corresponding to each achievement of the correct push order in the challenge effect, and to blink the privilege image on the right. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a first displays the challenge start image Ga with the start of each variation game that is the target of the challenge effect, and further displays the success image Gb when the correct push order is achieved. When the correct answer is not achieved, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that the failure image Gc is displayed as an image.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control corresponding to the situation every time the correct push order is achieved. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a process for giving the player a privilege with the privilege content set in the privilege grant pattern every time the push order correct answer is achieved during the RB mode from the absence of the ART flag. In other words, if the privilege content defined in the privilege grant pattern is “壱”, “弐”, “High”, or “Super”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to generate the right to transition to the ART mode with the probability based on these. The lottery is performed in the same manner as the ART entry lottery described above. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the situation with the ART flag when determining the result of “winning” in these lotteries, that is, the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode.

  Further, when the privilege content defined in the privilege grant pattern is “confirmed”, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the situation with the ART flag in order to generate the right to shift to the ART mode. When the privilege content set in the privilege grant pattern is “opportunity”, the sub-control CPU 41a has a continuation rate advantageous to the player when determining the continuation rate to be determined later, that is, an expected value that is continued in the ART continuous lottery. The process for making it easy to determine a high continuation rate is performed. For example, if the specification is such that “50%” is easily determined as the continuation rate, a process that makes it easier to determine the continuation rate of “60%” than “50%” is performed. In addition, every time a privilege by “opportunity” is given, such processing is performed such that the continuation rate of “70%” is more easily determined than “60%”. Each time a privilege is granted, the player can be advantageous.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the situation with the ART flag in order to generate the right to shift to the ART mode when the right to shift to the ART mode is generated when the privilege content is not “confirmed”, and thereafter Regardless of the privilege content, the same processing as when the privilege is given by “opportunity” is performed.

  Subsequently, the sub-control CPU 41a, if there is a right to shift to the ART mode as a result of the current challenge production accompanying the end of the variable game that is the last of the RB mode from the absence of the ART flag in this case While notifying that, if there is no right to shift to the ART mode, this is notified.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a process for giving the player a privilege with the privilege content set in the privilege grant pattern every time the correct answer in the pushing order is achieved during the RB mode from the presence of the ART flag. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c to the number of times according to the privilege content set in the privilege grant pattern. For example, when the privilege content is “+10 G”, “10 times” is added to the remaining G number, and when the privilege content is “+30 G”, “30 (times)” is added to the remaining G number. Further, in the present embodiment, during the RB mode with the ART flag, at least “10 times” of the ART mode is continued (added), that is, extended for each correct push order. The sub-control CPU 41a adds the remaining G number for the set under control by adding the remaining G number in the RB mode.

  Subsequently, the sub-control CPU 41a gives an effect display device so as to notify the cumulative number added by the addition of the remaining G number as a result of the current challenge effect accompanying the end of the variable game as the last of the RB mode. 14 display contents are controlled. If the remaining G number is not added, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to notify that effect by displaying an image of “0 (zero)”.

  During the challenge production, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the correct push order has been achieved based on the operation state of the stop button, the winning result, and the like designated by various commands. When this determination result is affirmative (achievement of the correct push order answer), the sub-control CPU 41a displays the success image Gb to notify the player of the achievement of the correct push order and the benefit according to the benefit content at that time. Will be processed to give to the player. If the determination result is negative (the push order correct answer is not achieved), the sub-control CPU 41a displays the failure image Gc to notify the player that the push order correct answer is not achieved, while the push order correct answer is not reached. Since it is not achieved, the process for giving the privilege to the player is not performed. Thus, the sub-control CPU 41a that determines whether or not the push order correct answer is achieved and performs control for giving a privilege according to the result of the determination functions as a determination unit and a privilege grant control unit. .

  As a result of such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B and FIGS. 14A and 14B, in the present embodiment, the variation that is the target of the RB mode from the start of the RB mode. The privilege content given in each variable game when the achievement of the correct push order is satisfied in all five games is notified to the player through the effect display device 14.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the push is performed by informing step by step based on the number of correct answers by pressing the bonus content on the bonus effect bonus images TK1 to TK5 that start with the start of the RB mode as the RB game. The player can be made aware of how much the correct answer is achieved and what kind of privilege is granted from the start of the RB mode.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, during the RB mode, by providing notification of the privilege content for five times in the case where the push order correct answer is achieved in each variable game, if the push order correct answer is achieved, any privilege content is granted. It will be possible for the player to grasp whether or not

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B and FIGS. 14A and 14B, in this embodiment, the correct answer is pushed in all five times of the target variable game from the start of the RB mode. As a privilege content to be given for each of the achievements of the above, the player is notified through the effect display device 14 that the advantage for the player increases by continuing to achieve the correct push order.

  For example, in the privilege grant pattern TP1 in FIG. 13A, a privilege of “1%” is given by the achievement of the first push order correct answer, and “壱” → “続 け る” "→" High "→ ... and so on. Also, in the privilege grant pattern TP4 of FIG. 13B, the privilege of “super” is given by the achievement of the first push order correct answer, and “super” → “ART” is achieved by continuing to achieve the push order correct answer. → "Opportunity" → ... and so on. Further, as the “opportunity” is controlled so as to increase the continuation rate, the ART mode is extended, and the advantage for the player increases.

  Further, for example, in the privilege grant pattern TP7 in FIG. 14A, the privilege of “+ 10G” is given by the achievement of the first push order correct answer, and “+ 10G” → ·・ ・ → “+ 20G” → ... and so on. Further, in the privilege grant pattern TP11 of FIG. 14B, the “+ 10G” privilege is granted by the achievement of the first push order correct answer, and “+ 10G” → “+ 30G” by continuing to achieve the push order correct answer. → ... A privilege that is highly advantageous to the player is repeatedly given.

  That is, in this embodiment, during the RB mode, if the push order correct answer continues to be achieved, the player's advantage increases, and further, the player understands the contents of the bonus due to the achievement of the push order correct answer. If it continues, it will be able to make a player grasp | ascertain from a privilege image that an advantage will increase.

  Further, in the present embodiment, during the RB mode from the absence of the ART flag, after satisfying the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode, a further privilege related to the ART mode can be given. As a further benefit related to such an ART mode, the ART mode is further extended so that the ART mode can be added to the ART mode. For this reason, during the RB mode without the ART flag, the player can have the purpose of generating the right to transition to the ART mode. It is possible to make the player have an expectation for achieving the purpose.

  Also, in this embodiment, during the RB mode, it is possible to grant a privilege in each of the variation games in the RB mode so that the push order is correct. If this is achieved, the player can be expected to have some privilege.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the push order correct answer is achieved during the RB mode, is the push stop correct answer formed by forming one of the bell stop eyes, that is, the pay lines L1, L3, and L4? It becomes possible for the player to easily grasp the result of the stop of each reel. Further, in the present embodiment, the success image Gb is displayed on the image, so that even if it cannot be grasped from the stop result of each reel, whether or not the push order is correct is easily determined by the player from the display content of the effect display device 14. To be able to grasp.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B and FIGS. 14A and 14B, in this embodiment, even if the production state is the same depending on the sub-state at the time of winning the RB role, the selection of the bonus grant pattern is selected. Therefore, the tendency of the privilege content given to the player is also changed by continuing to achieve the correct push order.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the setting mode of the combination of the number of times that the push order correct answer based on the privilege grant pattern is achieved and the privilege content is made different depending on the sub-state when winning the RB role. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the benefit contents provided in each variable game when the achievement of the correct push order is satisfied in all five times of the variable game subject to the RB mode from the start of the RB mode are displayed on the effect display device 14. To be notified to the player. For this reason, it becomes possible to change the tendency of the combination of the number of times that the privilege grant pattern is determined, that is, the push order correct answer and the specific content, is determined by the timing of winning the RB combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the RB combination is won in the sub state in the H mode, the privilege grant pattern having a tendency not disadvantageous for the player is determined as compared to the case in which the RB combination is won in the sub state in the L mode. It was made easy. That is, when the sub state is in the H mode and the RB role is won, the correct order of pushing to give a privilege that is more advantageous to the player such as “ART” or “+ 10G” or more than in the L mode. The number of times to achieve this is likely to be small, and a privilege that is highly advantageous for such a player is easily given. For this reason, since the sub-state is in the H mode, it is possible to create a situation in which a privilege that is more advantageous to the player can be easily given in a scene where the game is advantageously developed.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), in the normal mode (H), the privilege content such as “ART” and “opportunity” is greater than in the normal mode (L). There is a tendency that the number of times to reach the correct answer in the push order tends to be small. Further, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, in the preparation / ART mode (H), “+ 30G” and “+ 50G” are compared with the preparation / ART mode (L). Or “+ 100G” tends to be small in the number of times that the correct answer to the push order leading to the privilege content is reached.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The privilege notification is configured to be performed in such a manner that the content of the privilege is notified step by step with the start of the control of the RB mode that becomes the RB game. As a result, the player can be made aware of how much the push order correct answer is achieved and what kind of privilege is granted from the start of the RB mode. That is, as a result of causing the player to grasp the purpose to be achieved during the RB mode, the player can be lifted up in every game to achieve the purpose, and the interest in granting a privilege can be improved.

  (2) In the RB mode, the upper limit number of times (in this embodiment, 5 times) in achieving the correct push order in each variation game is notified. This makes it possible for the player to grasp what kind of privilege is granted if the correct answer in pushing order is achieved in each variable game in the RB mode. In other words, as a result of allowing the player to understand the value for achieving the objective in each variable game in the RB mode, the player can be raised in the variable game to achieve the objective.

  (3) In the RB mode, the player has a higher degree of advantage as the push order correct answer is continued. In addition, since the player can further recognize the privilege due to the achievement of the push order correct answer, the player can be made aware by the benefit notification that the advantage increases as the push order correct answer is achieved. For this reason, expectation can be given to achievement of a push order correct answer in every change game in RB mode.

  (4) After the occurrence of the right to transition to the ART mode during the RB mode (here, the RB mode without the ART flag), a special privilege related to the ART mode (in this embodiment, the continuation rate is increased) It was set as the structure which can be provided. As a result, during the RB mode, the player can have the purpose of generating the right to transition to the ART mode, and the player has the purpose of obtaining special benefits even after the achievement of such a purpose. Can be held in. That is, it is possible to elevate the player to achieve the objective in each variation game in the RB mode.

  (5) The special privilege is configured as a continuation rate increase privilege that makes the ART mode more advantageous. Thereby, the expectation for obtaining a special privilege, that is, a privilege for increasing the continuation rate, can be increased. For this reason, it is a variable game in the RB mode (in this case, the RB mode from the absence of the ART flag), and the player is effectively enhanced to achieve the purpose after generating the right to shift to the ART mode. be able to.

  (6) A configuration is adopted in which a privilege is given in each of the achievements of the correct push order in each variation game in the RB mode. As a result, even if the push order correct answer is not achieved, the player can be expected to have some privilege if the push correct answer is achieved next time. In other words, the player can have an expectation for the privilege in each variable game in the RB mode, and even if the bonus is not obtained in the variable game, the player can have an expectation for the privilege in the next variable game. be able to.

  (7) When the winning combination of the bell is selected and the stop operation is the correct answer in the pushing order, the structure is derived so as to form one of the bell stop eyes for winning the bell, that is, any of the pay lines L1, L3, and L4. did. As a result, the player is notified that the stop operation is a correct answer in the pushing order by deriving the bell stop eye that becomes a bell prize. That is, during the RB mode, the player can easily grasp the result that the purpose has been achieved.

  (8) The setting mode of the combination of the number of times that the correct answer is achieved and the content of the privilege is set to be different depending on the sub-state when the RB combination is won. Furthermore, the privilege notification is configured to be performed in such a manner that the content of the privilege is notified step by step with the start of the control of the RB mode that becomes the RB game. Thereby, a change can be given to the combination of the frequency | count of achieving a pushing order correct answer, and the content of a privilege by the timing which wins RB combination. In other words, as a result of attracting the player's interest in the contents of the sub-state before winning the RB role, the player can be raised in every variable game before winning the RB role. Furthermore, the player can be made aware of how much the push order correct answer is achieved and what kind of privilege is granted from the start of the RB mode. That is, after the winning of the RB role, the player can grasp the purpose to be achieved during the RB mode, and as a result, the player can be lifted in the variable game after the winning of the RB role to achieve the goal. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the player with the game before and after winning the RB role and improve the interest in granting the privilege.

(9) When the predetermined condition is satisfied in the second state, the affirmative number for giving the advantageous game grant privilege is likely to be smaller than in the case where the predetermined condition is satisfied in the first state, that is, the advantageous game It was set as the structure which is easy to provide a grant privilege . Thereby, in the scene where a game is developed advantageously, it becomes possible to create a situation where a privilege is more easily given. As a result, the player can be raised by the sub state.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the present embodiment, the same stop eye (combination of symbols) may be stopped and displayed when the push order correct answer during the RB mode is achieved and when it is not achieved. In this case, achievement of the correct answer in the pushing order during the RB mode can be realized with a specification not based on the winning combination determined by the main control CPU 40a. For example, a specification in which the push order in the production is determined by the sub-control CPU 41a in each variable game in the RB mode and the push order in the production coincides with the stop operation of the player is achieved. Can be considered.

  -In this embodiment, it is not always necessary to give a privilege by pushing correct answer, for example, the number of push order correct answers leading to the granting is only an even number or odd number, or every other time or multiple times. It may be set to skip. For example, when the provision of a privilege is determined only when the number of correct answers in the push order is an odd number, the privilege contents are displayed on the privilege images TK1, TK3, and TK5 corresponding to the first, third, and fifth times, respectively. The privilege content is not displayed on the privilege images TK2 and TK4 corresponding to the second time and the fourth time. In this case, it is not necessary to display the privilege image without the privilege.

-In this embodiment, you may determine by lottery further whether a privilege is provided at the time of pushing order correct answer. As a result, it is possible to realize a specification that does not necessarily give a privilege in the correct push order.
-The content of the special privilege of this embodiment may be changed if the ART mode can be made more advantageous, for example, may be added to the remaining G number.

  In the present embodiment, during the RB mode from the absence of the ART flag, even if a right to shift to the ART mode is generated midway, no special privilege may be provided thereafter. That is, it is not necessary to set a privilege for increasing the continuation rate. Such a benefit of increasing the continuation rate may be given during the RB mode from the ART flag.

  -In this embodiment, a privilege may not be advantageous, so that there are many achievements of a push order correct answer, for example, you may make a privilege disadvantageous, so that there are many achievements of a push order correct answer. Moreover, the specification etc. which give only the same privilege through RB mode are also considered.

  -In this embodiment, it is not necessary to perform privilege alert | reporting according to 5 times which become in RB mode, and privilege alert | report for several times can also be performed. For example, along with the start of the RB mode, the privilege notification for the privilege images TK1 and TK2 is performed twice, and the privilege notification of the privilege image TK3 is performed after the push order correct answer is achieved once.

  In the present embodiment, a challenge effect can be set for the BB mode in which the number of payouts is not an end condition and the payout number is an end condition. Also, a challenge effect can be set for the ART mode. For example, such a challenge effect may be accompanied by a part of the winning of the bell role in the ART mode. In addition, when a challenge effect is accompanied in the ART mode, the present invention can be applied to a specification in which a continuous lottery is performed in each variable game in addition to the specification defined by the number of times of the variable game as in the present embodiment.

  -In this embodiment, when comparing a sub-state, you may provide a difference in privilege content itself instead of providing a difference in the frequency | count of achievement of a pushing order correct answer. For example, in the normal privilege grant pattern, the number of correct answers in the order of pushing to the privilege content of “ART” is made the same, while the pattern of benefits differing in the privilege content up to the privilege content of “ART”. It only has to have.

  -In this embodiment, the sub state should just be advantageous compared with L mode in H mode, and you may change the ratio of a privilege provision pattern in this range. Further, when the sub-states are the H mode and the L mode, the privilege grant pattern can be determined from completely different pattern groups.

-In the normal privilege provision pattern of this embodiment, it is not necessary to set the privilege content which determines generation | occurrence | production of the transfer right of ART mode.
-In this embodiment, it is also realizable by the specification which sets a sub state only in normal mode. In other words, during the preparation / ART mode, no change is made in the privilege content setting mode regardless of the internal state.

  -In this embodiment, you may change privilege content arbitrarily. That is, regarding the privilege content based on the normal privilege grant pattern, the probability of generation of the right to transition to the ART mode may be changed. Moreover, regarding the privilege content based on the privilege provision pattern for preparation / ART, the number of times of adding the remaining G number may be changed. For example, the privilege content such as “+ 200G” or “+ 300G” may be set.

-In this embodiment, you may make it become disadvantageous with respect to provision of a privilege also during the penalty of normal mode similarly to during the penalty production during ART.
-As a penalty of this embodiment, a plurality of (for example, five) penalty periods are set in response to the occurrence of the penalty, and a new plurality of penalty periods are again set for further penalties during the penalty period. You may make it set to.

-In this embodiment, the setting aspect of the privilege content in RB mode does not need to be managed with a pattern, and can each be determined by lottery.
The present embodiment may be applied to a specification that leads to a bell winning when aiming for a correct symbol out of a plurality of specific types of symbols instead of the pushing order for the bell winning.

  In the present embodiment, the specification of the transition of the production state until the entry of the ART mode may be changed. For example, by changing to the preparation mode on the condition that the prescribed number of times of the fluctuating game has passed in the normal mode, It is also possible to create a state that allows a transition to the mode, and to make a specification that shifts to the ART mode when a special SIN spill occurs thereafter.

  In the present embodiment, the ART mode can be realized by a stock type that manages a set unit. Further, the period during which the ART mode is controlled can be set according to the number of times of the bell navigation effect. In this case, the number of various navigation effects may be added to extend the game period. Further, the period during which the ART mode is controlled can be set according to time.

  In the present embodiment, during the ART mode related to the high-definition RT game, it may be advantageous for the player. For example, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be set almost the same as other game states. In this case, in the advantageous gaming state, it is possible for the player to be advantageous if the specification allows the bell navigation effect to be performed.

In this embodiment, the configuration of the game state may be arbitrarily changed, and the types of general games having different RT performances can be increased.
In the present embodiment, a combination of symbols that determines award medal payout can be set as an opportunity for the transition between the low probability RT game and the high probability RT game.

  -This embodiment can also be applied to the pachislot machine in which the effect display device 14 is not provided. In this case, it is also possible to provide a special lamp for informing the privilege to notify the player of the content of the privilege. In this case, the effect state is notified to the player by the light emission effect of the lamp R, a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided, and these are turned on to notify the player of the effect state, or the speaker SP. The player may be notified of the effect state by the sound effect. In this case, various effects such as various navigations may be performed by the lamp R or the speaker SP.

In this embodiment, a challenge time (so-called “CT”) can be set as an RB game.
