For this reason, in the bonus game of the present embodiment, two medals are awarded to the player while the player consumes two medals, and therefore, the medal that the player holds (owns) before and after the bonus game. There is no increase or decrease in

Next, the sub control board 41 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub control board 41 executes a sub control CPU 41a which executes control operation according to a predetermined procedure, a sub control ROM 41b which stores a control program of the sub control CPU 41a, and writes necessary data. A sub control RAM 41c capable of reading is provided. Then, the effect display device 14 is connected to the sub control CPU 41 a. Further, a decoration lamp La is connected to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, a speaker Sp is connected to the sub control CPU 41a.

  A sub control program is stored in the sub control ROM 41 b. In addition, the sub control ROM 41b includes a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker Sp, and a light emission effect pattern indicating the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La. Is stored.

  The sub control RAM 41 c stores (sets) various information which can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachi slot 10. Specifically, the sub control CPU 41a stores sub state information (such as a flag) for the internal control state in the sub control RAM 41c.

The process related to the variation game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described below.
When the main control CPU 40a receives a control signal indicating that the various buttons and the like have been operated, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control defined in the control signal. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display unit 17 each time by input of various control signals and various control. Further, when awarding the award medal, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when exceeding the upper limit number of credits, and pays out one award medal each time the drive signal is output once. To control. At the time of settlement of credits, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 to control to pay out medals for the credits.

  Then, when the medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or the control signal from each of the BET buttons 19 and 20 is input, the main control CPU 40a sets the bet number. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits for each operation of each of the BET buttons 19 and 20. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by the insertion of medals. And, while setting the bet number of 3 bets, the main control CPU 40a generates a game startable state in which the variation game in the normal game can be played, while the bonus is set when setting the bet number of 2 bets. A game startable state capable of playing a fluctuation game in the game occurs.

  Subsequently, when the control signal from the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started, the main control CPU 40a performs a winning combination lottery. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs a winning combination lottery in response to the start operation.

  The main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number, and determines whether the value belongs to the range of the value of each winning combination in the combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. Perform a winning combination lottery. In the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning combination to be won using the winning combination determination table according to the internal control state. When no winning combination is won in the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the release. That is, in the winning combination lottery, the type of losing or winning combination is determined.

  When the winning combination is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores result display information (such as a flag) that can specify the symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed in the determined winning combination in the main control RAM 40c ( Set).

  Incidentally, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the eleventh winning combination has been won, the main control CPU 40a is permitted to stop and display the bonus stop until the bonus stop is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Carry over the result display information indicating. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines to win a winning combination other than the eleventh winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stops at the determined winning combination by the end of the variation game targeted for the winning combination lottery that determines the selected winning combination. Clear (clear) the result display information that can identify the symbol combination that is permitted to be displayed. In the pachi slot 10 of the present embodiment, when there is no result display information that can specify the out-of-stop position, and the result display information is not stored in the main control RAM 40 c, the main control CPU 40 a is out of order. Is configured to be identifiable. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the eleventh winning combination has been won, the main control CPU 40a may stop carrying the bell stop although it may carry over the result display information indicating that the bonus stop is allowed to stop and be displayed. There is no carry over of result display information indicating that display is permitted.

  As described above, until the bonus stop point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, it becomes a symbol combination carried over to be permitted to be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, a symbol combination associated with a prize other than the bonus stop is a symbol combination which is not carried over to be allowed to be stopped and displayed. In the present embodiment, the bonus stop corresponds to the special display result, and the symbol combination associated with the prize other than the bonus stop corresponds to the normal display. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that determines a symbol combination (display result) that is permitted to be displayed functions as a tolerance determination unit by performing a winning combination lottery.

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variation game upon input of the control signal from the start lever 22 (after performing a predetermined process such as a winning combination lottery). Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs, to the sub control CPU 41a, a variation game start command indicating the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the internal control state in which the variation game is performed. If the change game start command is in the carry over state, it also indicates that it is the carry over state. The main control CPU 40a inputs the control signal from the start lever 22 to start the rotation of each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the last variation game. Control each reel 13L, 13C, 13R. Incidentally, the variation game start command to the sub control CPU 41a can be output in synchronization with the start of the rotation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R.

  Subsequently, when the control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are input, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the control signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on the rotational position and the stop position of each reel based on the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, while the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to specify the rotation state of each reel during the rotation of each reel, each reel when each reel is not rotated (during stop) The main control CPU 40a specifies the stop status of The main control CPU 40a does not perform stop control on the rotating reel until the control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are input.

  When the control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are input, the main control CPU 40a outputs various control signals corresponding to the control signals to the sub control CPU 41a. The control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R cause the sub control CPU 41a to grasp the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, that is, which stop button was operated or the order in which the stop buttons were operated. .

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of each reel within a predetermined range (up to four symbols) from the timing at which each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated based on the winning combination that has been won. Stop displaying the symbol combination. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel in rotation, the stop control stored in the main control ROM 40b according to the winning combination of winning and the operation sequence of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R. Stop control is performed to stop and display the symbol combination based on the control data for.

  For example, when the main control CPU 40a wins the 34th winning combination in the non-carried over state in the first general game, when the control signal from the stop button 23L of the three stop buttons is first input, the winning is achieved Control is performed to stop the rotation of the left reel 13L based on stop control data for displaying a bell stop on the line L1. Thereafter, when the control signal from the stop button 23C is input, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the middle reel 13C based on the stop control data for displaying the bell stop on the payline L1. Take control. Similarly, when the control signal from the stop button 23R is input, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the right reel 13R based on the stop control data for stopping display of the bell stop on the pay line L1. Control.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the 34th winning combination in the non-carried over state in the first general game, when the control signal from the stop button 23C is first input among the three stop buttons, the winning is achieved. Control is performed to stop the rotation of the left reel 13L based on the stop control data for stopping and displaying the shift stop on the line L1. Thereafter, when the control signal from the stop button 23L is input, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the left reel 13L based on the stop control data for stopping and displaying the stoppage on the payline L1. Take control. Similarly, when the control signal from the stop button 23R is input, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the right reel 13R based on the stop control data for stopping and displaying the stoppage on the payline L1. Control.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the 34th winning combination in the carryover state in each normal game, the control signal from the stop button 23L among the three stop buttons is first input on the payline L1. Based on the stop control data for causing the star stop eye to be stopped and displayed, control is performed to stop the rotation of the left reel 13L. Thereafter, when the control signal from the stop button 23C is input, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the middle reel 13C based on the stop control data for displaying the star stop on the payline L1. Take control. Similarly, when the main control CPU 40a receives a control signal from the stop button 23R, the main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of the middle reel 13C based on the stop control data for stopping display of the star stop on the pay line L1. Control.

  As described above, even in the situation where the same winning combination is won, that is, the situation in which the same display result is permitted to be displayed, the stop control is performed depending on which of the non-carryover state and the carryover state. The stop control data (control information) used may be different. Furthermore, even in the situation where the same winning combination is won, the stop control data used in the stop control may differ depending on the operation order of the three stop buttons.

  In the present embodiment, the display of the special display result as the bonus stop is allowed in the carry-over state corresponds to the situation carried over, and the specific display that the 34th to 36th winning combinations are won The display of the resulting star stop corresponds to the permitted situation.

  In addition, in the non-carryover state, when any of the 34th to 36th winning combinations is won, the stop control data and the bell stop for stopping the stoppage on the payline L1 are displayed. Stop control data for causing a stop display on the pay line L1 corresponds to first control information. Then, when the 34th to 36th winning combinations are won in the non-carried over state, the out-of-focus stop and the bell stop that become symbol combinations stopped on the pay line L1 are displayed as non-specific display results. Equivalent to. In addition, in the carryover state, when any of the 34th to 36th winning combinations is won, the stop control data for stopping and displaying the star stop on the payline L1 is the second control. It corresponds to information.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when any one of the 34th to 36th winning combinations is won and the stop display of the star stop as the specific display result is permitted, the special display result is obtained. When the allowance display of the bonus stop is carried over, the star stop is displayed stopped. On the other hand, when any one of the 34th to 36th winning combinations is won and the stop display of the star stop is permitted, if the allowance for the stop display of the bonus stop is not carried over, then the star Outage as a non-specific display result different from the stop point The stop point or the bell stop point is displayed. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control to stop the rotation of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R as a rotating body functions as a stop control unit.

  When the main control CPU 40a does not win any winning combination in the carry-over state, that is, in the case of a loss, based on the stop control data for stopping and displaying the bonus stop, the times of each reel are Perform control to stop movement.

  Incidentally, in the pachi slot 10 of the present embodiment, each reel can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, regardless of the timing at which the stop button is operated, all symbol combinations including the out-of-stop stop The symbols of are arranged. Therefore, in the pachi slot 10, the stop control is not performed in consideration of the timing when the stop button is operated, but the stop control may be performed in consideration of the operation timing of the stop button. When configured in this way, the main control CPU 40a performs stop control using stop control data (control information) according to the operation timing of the stop button.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs the prize determination when the rotation of all the reels 13L, 13C, 13R is stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a reads the result display information from the main control RAM 40c, and determines whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the read result display information is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a specifies a symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 from the position signal input along with the stop of the rotation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R, and the symbol combination It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is permitted to be stopped and displayed in the result display information.

  When the symbol combination stopped on the payline L1 is a symbol combination which is permitted to be stopped and displayed in the result display information in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a is stopped in the result display information Determine the winning combination (combination winning combination) of the symbol combination that is allowed to be displayed. On the other hand, when the symbol combination stopped on the payline L1 in the winning determination is not a symbol combination which is permitted to be stopped and displayed in the result display information, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the result display information. Determine the non-winning (combination non-winning) of the symbol combination that it is allowed to make to do.

  Then, when determining the winning of the symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed on the result display information in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control of providing an award associated with the symbol combination. Further, when determining the winning of the symbol combination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command instructing the symbol combination determined to be winning to the sub control CPU 41a.

  When determining the winning of the bonus stop eye, the main control CPU 40a performs bonus game control as control of the gaming state for shifting to the bonus game from the next variation game. In the bonus game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of award medals awarded from the first variation game in the bonus game after the start of the bonus game. Further, when the number of award medals awarded from the first variation game in the bonus game exceeds the maximum payout number, the main control CPU 40a terminates the bonus game with the end of the variation game.

  When determining the winning of the cherry-stopped eye, the main control CPU 40a performs control of giving four medals as a prize medal. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control of providing eight medals as award medals when determining the winning of the bell stop eye. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control of providing eight medals as award medals when determining the winning of the star stopping eye.

  When the main control CPU 40a determines that the normal replay is stopped, the control for giving a replay is performed. In addition, when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop eye, the main control CPU 40a performs control of giving a replay. Further, when determining the winning of the fall replay stop eye, the main control CPU 40a performs control of giving a replay. In addition, as control which grants a re-game, main control CPU40a sets the same bet number as the fluctuation game which determined winning a prize.

  Incidentally, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the internal control state described later, when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop eye or determining the winning of the fall replay stop eye.

Next, based on FIG. 6, the main control CPU 40a will explain a mode of transition of a plurality of internal control states related to the progress of the game.
When shifting the internal control state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the internal control state of the transfer destination to the sub control CPU 41a. By inputting the state instruction command, the sub control CPU 41a can specify the internal control state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  When the main control CPU 40a wins the eleventh winning combination in the non-carried state in the first general game, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the carry-over state in the first general game. In addition, the main control CPU 40a causes the transition from the next variation game to the bonus game, triggered by the determination of the winning of the bonus stop in the carry over state in the first normal game. Further, when transitioning from the first general game to the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a causes transition to the non-carryover state in the first general game triggered by the end of the bonus game.

  The main control CPU 40a shifts to the second general game when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop eye in the first general game. When determining the winning of the promotion replay stop eye in the non-carried state in the first general game, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the non-carried state in the second general game. In addition, when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop eye in the carryover state in the first general game, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the carryover state in the second general game.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the eleventh winning combination in the non-portable state in the second general game, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the carry-over state in the second general game. In addition, the main control CPU 40a causes the transition from the next variation game to the bonus game, triggered by the determination of the winning of the bonus stop in the carryover state in the second general game. Further, when transitioning from the second normal game to the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a causes the transition to the non-carryover state in the second normal game triggered by the end of the bonus game.

  The main control CPU 40a shifts to the first general game, when determining the winning of the fall replay stop eye in the second general game. The main control CPU 40a shifts to the non-carried state in the first general game, when determining the winning of the fall replay stop eye in the non-carried state in the second general game. When the main control CPU 40a determines that the falling replay stoppage wins in the carry-over state in the second general game, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the carry-over state in the first general game.

Next, the process related to the variation 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 mode of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker Sp cause the various effects to be executed based on the content instructed by the command. The output mode, the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La is controlled. When the sub-control CPU 41a does not input a winning instruction command, the sub-control CPU 41a recognizes that the out-of-focus stop display is stopped on the pay line L1. Further, since the sub control CPU 41a can also grasp the stop status of each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R, it can know that the stop status has been stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 from the stop status.

  In addition, when the sub control CPU 41a receives a state instruction command, it stores (sets) sub state information indicating the type of internal control state in the sub control RAM 41c. In addition, the sub control CPU 41a performs control for performing various effects each time a variation game start command is input.

Further, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state of the effect display device 14 according to the internal control state being controlled by the main control CPU 40a.
As shown in FIG. 7, the effect state includes a normal effect state and an ART effect state. In addition, the ART production state includes a normal ART production state and a special ART production state.

  The normal effect state is an effect state that is controlled mainly when being controlled by the first normal game. In addition, in the normal effect state, effects are developed so that it is difficult to win the normal replay stop eye and the bell stop eye.

  The ART effect state is mainly an effect state controlled when the second general game is controlled. In addition, in the ART effect state, effects are developed so as to assist (assist) the winning of the normal replay stop eyes and the bell stop eyes. In the present embodiment, the ART effect state is an advantageous state for the player and corresponds to an advantageous game state. In the present embodiment, the normal ART effect state corresponds to the first advantageous game state, and the special ART effect state corresponds to the second advantageous game state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the normal ART effect state shifts to the special ART effect state until the variable game for the specified game number is played or until the variable game for the specified game number is played. Until then, it will be the ART production state which continues. Further, in the present embodiment, the special ART effect state is an ART effect state that continues until the fluctuation game of the number of continued games is played. Incidentally, in the special ART effect state, there may be a case that "addition" in which the number of continued games is increased is performed, and when "addition" is performed, the control period of the advantageous gaming state is extended.

  Hereinafter, control contents in the normal rendering state, the normal ART rendering state, and the special ART rendering state will be described together with the display effects in the effect display device 14. As a result of performing control in each effect state described below, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift the effect state in the mode shown in FIG.

First, control contents in the normal rendering state will be described.
The sub control CPU 41a controls the game to the normal effect state mainly in the case of the first general game. Note that the sub control CPU 41a may control to the normal effect state even when it is the second general game or a bonus game.

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination (display result) stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 during the control of the normal effect state.

The sub control CPU 41a continuously controls the normal effect state even during the bonus game when the bonus stop eye is instructed to win during the control of the normal effect state.
Further, the sub control CPU 41a performs an ART lottery when it is instructed to win the star stop or the cherry stop during the control of the normal effect state. The ART lottery is performed under the winning probability according to the symbol combination for which winning is indicated. In the ART lottery, it is decided to shift to the normal ART effect state when winning, but it is decided not to shift to the normal ART effect state when not winning. Note that the random numbers used for the ART lottery may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

  When winning the ART lottery, the sub control CPU 41a sets, in the sub control RAM 41c, ART information indicating that the shift to the ART effect state is determined. The sub control CPU 41a performs control so as to erase the ART information from the sub control RAM 41c in response to termination of the ART effect state and transition to the normal effect state. Incidentally, when the ART information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c, the sub control CPU 41a does not erase the ART information even if the bonus game is performed.

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a does not operate the stop button 23L among the three stop buttons first when the ART information is not stored in the sub control RAM 41c during control of the normal effect state, for the player. Provide a penalty that results in an adverse situation. For example, as a penalty, even if a cherry stop or a star stop is instructed to be won, the ART lottery is not performed, or even if a promotion replay stop is instructed to win, a transition to a normal ART effect state is made There are things that you do not do. Incidentally, the sub control CPU 41a, even during the control of the normal effect state, in a situation where ART information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c, even if the stop button other than the stop button 23L among the three stop buttons are operated first , Do not give a penalty.

  Further, when ART information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c, the sub control CPU 41a performs an effect (navi effect) to navigate to operate the stop button 23C or the stop button 23R first. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. Specifically, when the sub control CPU 41a instructs to select the 32nd winning combination or the 35th winning combination while ART information is stored during control of the normal effect state, the three stop buttons are displayed. Among them, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to execute a navigation effect for instructing to operate the stop button 23C first. Similarly, when the sub-control CPU 41 a is instructed to win the 33rd winning combination or the 36th winning combination when ART information is stored during control of the normal effect state, among the three stop buttons The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to execute a navigation effect for instructing to operate the stop button 23R first. As a result, the player is notified of the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop.

  The sub control CPU 41a operates the stop button 23C first among the three stop buttons when the win of the 42nd winning combination is instructed while the ART information is stored during control of the normal effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect for instructing to do. Similarly, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the 43rd winning combination while ART information is stored during control of the normal effect state, the stop button 23R is first selected among the three stop buttons. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect for instructing operation. As a result, the player is notified of the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the normal replay stop eye.

  The sub-control CPU 41a operates the stop button 23C first among the three stop buttons when the winning of the forty-fourth winning combination is instructed while ART information is stored during control of the normal effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect for instructing to do. Similarly, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the 45th winning combination when ART information is stored during control of the normal effect state, the stop button 23R is first selected among the three stop buttons. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect for instructing operation. As a result, the player is notified of the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the promotion replay stop eye.

  In the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, the navigation effect is not executed when the ART information is not stored in the sub control RAM 41c, but the ART information is not stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Also, the navigation effect may be configured to be performed. However, when the navigation effect is executed, it is preferable that a penalty is not given even if the stop button 23L among the three stop buttons is not operated first. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 14 that executes navigation effects for notifying (navigating) the operation order of the stop button corresponding to the order of the stop operation functions as operation order notification means.

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift to the normal ART effect state, when the winning of the promotion replay stop eye is determined while the ART information is stored during the control of the normal effect state. At this time, in accordance with the transition from the first normal game to the second normal game, the normal effect state is shifted to the normal ART effect state.

Next, control contents in the normal ART presentation state will be described.
The sub control CPU 41a counts the number of times of execution of the variation game performed in the normal ART effect state in the sub control RAM 41c while controlling the normal ART effect state. When shifting from the normal effect state to the normal ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets "30 (times)" as the specified game number in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub control CPU 41a subtracts the prescribed game number (-1) each time the variable game is played in the normal ART effect state, and updates the game until "0 (zero)" is obtained.

  Then, when it is determined that the defined game number after subtraction has become “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 41a erases ART information of the sub control RAM 41c. Further, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the normal ART effect state to the normal effect state when the prescribed game number is “0 (zero)” during control of the normal ART effect state.

The sub-control CPU 41a continues to control the normal ART effect state even during the bonus game when the bonus stop eye is instructed to win during the control of the normal ART effect state.
The sub control CPU 41a displays the bell stoppage stop indication when any one of the 31st to 35th winning combinations is instructed during the control of the normal ART effect state in the non-carried state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect of notifying the operation order of the stop button for causing the stop button.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a, during the control of the normal ART effect state in the non-carryover state, when any of the 41st winning combination to the 43rd winning combination is instructed, the normal replay stop eye The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the display.

  In addition, when the 46th winning combination to the 48th winning combination are won during control of the normal ART production state, the sub control CPU 41a notifies the operating order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the normal replay stop eye The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to execute the navigation effect.

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a executes navigation effect to notify the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop when the win of the eleventh winning combination is instructed during the control of the normal ART effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a first operates the stop button 23C or the stop button 23R among the three stop buttons when the win of the eleventh winning combination is instructed during the control of the normal ART effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect for instructing. As a result, the player is notified of the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop, avoiding the stop display of the bonus stop.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the normal ART effect state to the special ART effect state when the win of the eleventh winning combination is instructed during the control of the normal ART effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stop display of the bonus stop as the special display result is permitted in the normal ART effect state as the first advantageous game state, the first advantageous game state is firstly issued. Transition to the special ART effect state as the 2 advantageous game states. In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a that controls the normal effect state as the normal game state and the normal ART effect state and the special ART effect state as the advantageous game state functions as a game state control means.

Next, control contents in the special ART effect state will be described.
The sub control CPU 41a counts the number of times of execution of the variation game performed in the special ART effect state in the sub control RAM 41c while controlling the special ART effect state. When shifting from the normal ART effect state to the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets "50 (times)" as the number of continued games in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the number of continuing games each time a variation game is played in the special ART effect state, and updates the game until it becomes "0 (zero)". In addition, when the sub control CPU 41a determines that the addition is to be made in the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a adds the number determined in connection with the determination to be added to the number of continuing games.

  In addition, when the number of continuing games is not “0 (zero)” during the control of the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a also instructs the special ART effect state even during the bonus game when the winning of the bonus stop is instructed. Control continuously. In addition, when the number of continuing games is “0 (zero)” during the control of the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a is a fluctuation game in the bonus game when the winning of the bonus stop eye is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to execute the ending effect. Then, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift to the normal effect state after the end of the bonus game provided when the number of continuing games is “0 (zero)”.

  During the control of the special ART effect state in the carry-over state, the sub control CPU 41a selects one of the 31st to 33rd win positions when the number of continuing games is not "0 (zero)". Is instructed, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect of notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop eye. On the other hand, during the control of the special ART effect state in the carryover state, the sub control CPU 41a selects any one of the 31st to 33rd winning combinations when the number of continuing games is "0 (zero)". When an instruction to win is given, the navigation effect for notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop is not performed.

Here, the presentation aspect in the special ART presentation state and the aspect of "addition" will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the special ART effect state, the effect display device 14 displays a character image MG indicating the number of continued games.

  Further, in the special ART effect state, the effect display device 14 displays an effect meter EM configured of ten scale areas M1 to M10. The effect meter EM is divided horizontally into scale areas M1, M2,... M9, M10 in order from the left as viewed from the player. The effect meter EM configured by the scale areas M1 to M10 is an image for notifying in stages the specific value stored internally.

  In the present embodiment, when the specific value is “0 to 10”, the effect meter EM in which all the scale areas M1 to M10 are decorated with “white” is displayed. Also, when the specific value is "11 to 20", only the scale area M1 is decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M2 to M10 are decorated with "white", and the effect meter EM is displayed . Similarly, when the specific value is "21 to 30", the scale areas M1 and M2 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M3 to M10 are decorated with "white". Be done. Also, when the specific value is "31 to 40", the scale areas M1 to M3 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M4 to M10 are decorated with "white", and the effect meter EM is displayed Ru. Also, when the specific value is "41 to 50", the scale areas M1 to M4 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M5 to M10 are decorated with "white", and the effect meter EM is displayed Ru.

  Also, when the specific value is "51 to 60", the scale areas M1 to M5 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M6 to M10 are decorated with "white", and the effect meter EM is displayed Ru. Similarly, when the specific value is "61 to 70", the scale areas M1 to M6 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M7 to M10 are decorated with "white". Be done. Also, when the specific value is "71 to 80", the scale areas M1 to M7 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M8 to M10 are decorated with "white", and the effect meter EM is displayed Ru. Also, when the specific value is "81 to 90", the scale areas M1 to M8 are decorated with "red", while the other scale areas M9 and M10 are decorated with "white". Ru. Also, when the specific value is "91 to 99", the scale areas M1 to M9 are decorated with "red", while the effect meter EM decorated with only the other scale area M10 is displayed as "white" . Then, when the specific value is “100 or more”, the effect meter EM in which all the scale areas M1 to M10 are decorated with “red” is displayed. In the present embodiment, by displaying the effect meter EM, the effect display device 14 that notifies the player of the specific value in stages functions as a change amount notification means.

  Then, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, the specific value is configured to increase from “0 (zero)”, and when the specific value reaches “100”, which is the specified value, "Add on" is performed. Further, as the "addition" is performed, the number of times to be added to the number of continuing games is determined.

In this embodiment, in the special ART effect state, the change amount of the specific value is determined (selected) when the star stop point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1.
The control related to the addition will be described below.

  The sub control CPU 41a determines (selects) the amount of change of the specific value when a win for the star stop is instructed during control of the special ART effect state. The sub control CPU 41a selects the change amount of the specific value by lottery from the plurality of types of change amounts.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, all of the (selectable) change amounts that can be determined as the change amount of the specific value are the change amounts that bring the specific value close to the specified value, that is, the change amount added to the current specific value It has become.

  In this embodiment, the change amount that can be determined as the change amount of the specific value includes the change amount of adding “1” to the current specific value, the change amount of adding “2” to the current specific value, and the current specific value There is a change amount of adding "3" to the value, a change amount of adding "4" to the current specific value, and a change amount of adding "5" to the current specific value. Besides, in the present embodiment, the change amount that can be determined as the change amount of the specific value includes the change amount of adding “10” to the current specific value, the change amount of adding “20” to the current specific value, The change amount of adding “30” to the specific value of, the change amount of adding “40” to the current specific value, the change amount of adding “50” to the current specific value, and “99” to the current specific value There is an amount of change to add.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a determines the amount of change of the specific value at a predetermined determination rate (selectivity), when a winning at the star stop is instructed. For example, the sub control CPU 41a determines the amount of change by which “1” is added to the current specific value with a probability of 53.94%, and adds “99” to the current specific value with a probability of 0.01%. Determine the amount of change.

  When the sub control CPU 41a determines the amount of change of the specific value, the sub control CPU 41a reflects the amount of change of the determined specific value on the current specific value, and updates the specific value. Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display the effect meter EM according to the specific value after reflection. In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a that determines (selects) the change amount of the specific value functions as a change amount selection unit. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a that causes the specific value to flourish according to the selected amount of change by reflecting the amount of change in the determined (selected) specific value in the current specific value is the embodiment. It functions as a specific value change means.

  In addition, when the specific value reaches the specified value “100”, the sub control CPU 41a determines the number of times to add to the number of continuing games, and adds the determined number to the number of continuing games. Furthermore, when the specific value reaches the specified value "100", the sub control CPU 41a sets an initial value "0" as the specific value stored in the sub control RAM 41c, and initializes the specific value (reset ). In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a, which extends the control period of the special ART effect state as the advantageous game state, functions as an advantageous game state extension unit by adding the number of times of addition to the number of continued games. Further, in the present embodiment, when the specific value reaches the specified value, the sub control CPU 41a, which is initialized as the specific value, functions as an initialization unit.

Here, based on FIGS. 9A to 9F, the change aspect of the specific value in the special ART effect state in the present embodiment and the addition aspect will be described.
In the special ART effect state shown in FIG. 9A, the specific value is “85”. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays the effect meter EM in which the scale areas M1 to M8 are decorated in “red” and the scale areas M9 and M10 are decorated in “white”. At this time, it is assumed that the number of continuing games is "30 (times)".

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), it is assumed that the fluctuation game is performed and the star stop point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Furthermore, the amount of change of the specific value is determined as the star stop point is stopped and displayed. At this time, when the amount of change in which “10” is added to the current specific value is determined as the amount of change in the specific value, the specific value after reflecting the amount of change is “95 (= 85 + 10)”.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 9C, the effect display device 14 displays the effect meter EM in which the scale areas M1 to M9 are decorated in “red” and the scale area M10 is decorated in “white”. Ru. In addition, the number of continued games is decremented by 1 as one variation game is played from FIG. 9A, and the number of continued games becomes “29 (times)”.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9 (d), it is assumed that the star stopping point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 in the next variation game. Furthermore, the amount of change of the specific value is determined as the star stop point is stopped and displayed. At this time, when the amount of change in which “20” is added to the current specific value is determined as the amount of change in the specific value, the specific value after reflection of the amount of change is “115 (= 95 + 20)”.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 9E, the effect display device 14 displays the effect meter EM in which all the scale areas M1 to M10 are decorated in “red”. Further, it is assumed that “50” is determined as the number of times to be added to the number of continuing games upon the specific value reaching the specified value “100”. Further, as the variation game is performed once from FIG. 9C, the number of continuing games is decremented by 1, and the number of continuing games is temporarily set to “28 (times)”.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 9 (f), "50" is added to the number of continued games "28 (times)" when the specific value reaches the prescribed value "100", and "overlaying" is performed. As a result, the number of continuing games is "78 (times)". Furthermore, the specific value is initialized, and the effect display device 14 displays the effect meter EM in which all the scale areas M1 to M10 are decorated in “white”. Then, the player enjoys the game until the specific value reaches the specified value again.

As described above, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The control period of the advantageous gaming state is extended when the specific value, which changes as the star stop point as the specific display result is stopped (displayed), reaches a specified value. For this reason, with the star stop eye stop display, attention is given to whether the specific value reaches the specified value or how close the specified value approaches the specified value, and the game is enjoyed to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state Can be

Furthermore, in the future, it is possible to enjoy the advantageous gaming state while inferring how many times the specified value reaches the specified value if the number of star stops is stopped and displayed in the future.
(2) The amount of change of a specific value is determined (selected) from various types of change amounts. For this reason, it is possible to give randomness to the number of times that the star stop is stopped and displayed until the specific value reaches the specified value, and it is advantageous to add more fun to the game until the specified value reaches the specified value. It is possible to further improve the interest in the gaming state.

  (3) Even when the same winning combination (34th to 36th winning combinations) is won, it is carried over to allow the stop display (display) of the bonus stop as a special display result. Depending on whether the star stop is displayed, the star stop may be displayed, or the stop stop or the bell stop may be displayed. As a result, it becomes possible to make it appear as if different winning combinations have been won, depending on whether or not the allowance display for stopping the bonus stop is carried over using the same winning combination. And, it is possible to expand the range of game play, and it is possible to make the player more entertaining.

  (4) Even in the advantageous game state, if it is not permitted to stop (display) the bonus stop as the special display result in the normal ART effect state as the first advantageous game state, the specific value is changed It is not possible to enjoy the playability that the control period of the advantageous gaming state is extended. Therefore, it is possible to increase the value that can change the specific value and enjoy the playability that the control period of the advantageous gaming state is extended, and whether to shift to the special ART effect state as the second advantageous gaming state You can also let the player entertain by making them pay attention.

  (5) Control to stop the rotation of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R as a rotating body according to whether or not the bonus display as a special display result is permitted to stop display (display) (stop control ) Is changed. For this reason, depending on whether or not the bonus display for stopping the bonus stop is carried over, even when winning the same winning combination, there are many opportunities for the stop display of the star stop as the specific display result to be stopped and displayed. It is possible to create a period in which the period and the chance that the star stop is stopped and displayed is small, and it is possible to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state.

  (6) By displaying the effect meter EM on the effect display device 14 as the change amount notifying means, the player is notified of the specific value in stages. By configuring in this way, the player can grasp (recognize) what the current specific value is. For this reason, it is possible to enjoy the subsequent game in the advantageous game state in consideration of the current specific value.

  (7) The sub control CPU 41a functioning as the initialization unit is configured to initialize the specific value triggered by the specific value reaching the specified value. As a result, it is possible to make the player enjoy the game by repeatedly trying to extend the control period of the advantageous gaming state.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the detailed description and the drawings are omitted.

In the pachi-slot 10 of the second embodiment, control based on a specific value is different from that of the first embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the special replay stop is added to the symbol combination associated with the award described in the first embodiment as the symbol combination associated with the award. When the symbol combination classified as the special replay stop number is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, replay is given.

Further, in the second embodiment, the 61st winning combination to the 63rd winning combination are added to the winning combinations described in the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 10, the 61st winning combination is a winning combination that can be won in the carryover state in each general game among the non-carryover state, the carryover state, and the bonus game. When the 61st winning combination is won in the carryover state in each normal game, when the stop button 23L of the three stop buttons is operated first, the special replay stop is displayed on the payline L1. Ru. On the other hand, when the 61st winning combination is won in the carryover state in each general game, the normal replay on the payline L1 is performed when the stop button 23C or the stop button 23R is operated first among the three stop buttons. The stop point is displayed as a stop.

  The 62nd winning combination is a winning combination that can be won in the carry-over state in each general game among the non-transferred state, the carry-over state, and the bonus game. When the 62nd winning combination is won in the carryover state in each normal game, when the stop button 23C among the three stop buttons is operated first, the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Ru. On the other hand, when the 62nd winning combination is won in the carryover state in each general game, when the stop button 23L or the stop button 23R among the three stop buttons is operated first, the normal replay on the payline L1 The stop point is displayed as a stop.

  The 63rd winning combination is a winning combination that can be won in the carryover state in each general game among the non-transferred state, the carryover state, and the bonus game. When the 63rd winning combination is won in the carryover state in each normal game, when the stop button 23R of the three stop buttons is operated first, the special replay stop is displayed on the payline L1. Ru. On the other hand, when the 63rd winning combination is won in the carryover state in each general game, when the stop button 23L or the stop button 23C among the three stop buttons is operated first, the normal replay on the payline L1 The stop point is displayed as a stop.

  Further, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, as the ART effect state, there is a special ART effect state in addition to the normal ART effect state and the special ART effect state described in the first embodiment. In the special ART effect state, "overlaying" is more easily performed than in the special ART effect state, that is, the control period of the advantageous game state is easily extended. In the present embodiment, the special ART effect state corresponds to the extension rate improvement state.

  In the special ART effect state of this embodiment, unlike in the first embodiment, when the winning of the cherry stop is instructed, the number of continuing games is added or not, and in the case of adding, it is added to the number of continuing games The number of times is determined.

Here, based on FIG. 11, the control content of the rendering state in the present embodiment will be described.
The sub control CPU 41a determines whether or not to add a prize when a cherry-stoppering win is instructed during control of the special ART effect state, and determines the number of times to be added to the number of continuing games when it is added. Then, when it is determined to add, the sub control CPU 41a adds the number of times it is determined to add to the number of continuing games to the number of continuing games.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the special ART effect state to the special ART effect state, when the winning of the special replay stop eye is instructed during the control of the special ART effect state. When shifting from the special ART effect state to the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a stores and holds the number of continuing games stored in the sub control RAM 41c without resetting.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of times of execution of the fluctuation game performed in the special ART effect state during control of the special ART effect state, using the sub control RAM 41c. When shifting from the special ART effect state to the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets "10 (times)" as the extension rate improvement frequency in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the number of times of extension rate improvement each time a variation game is played in the special ART effect state, and updates it until it becomes “0 (zero)”. Then, the sub control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the special ART rendering state to the special ART rendering state, triggered by the fact that the extension rate improvement count after subtraction becomes "0 (zero)". Incidentally, the number of continued games stored in the sub control RAM 41c is stored and held without being reduced even when the variation game is executed during control of the special ART effect state.

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a determines to perform the addition based on the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 each time the variation game is performed during the control of the special ART effect state. In addition, during control of the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a determines the number of times to be added to the number of continued games each time the variation game is played even if the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed is not the cherry stop. Then, the sub control CPU 41a adds, to the number of continuing games, the number of times it is determined to add the number of continuing games. In the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a can easily determine the number of times of addition as the symbol combination for which the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed has a low probability of being stopped and displayed is higher.

  As described above, in the special ART effect state, even if the symbol combination other than the cherry stop is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the addition of the number of continuing games is determined, so the special ART effect state Rather, it is easier to determine the number of continuing games, that is, to extend the control period of the special ART rendering state (advantage game state).

  In this embodiment, in the special ART effect state as the advantageous game state, transition to the special ART effect state is triggered by the fact that the special replay stop corresponding to the special display result is stopped (displayed) on the pay line L1. The sub control CPU 41a that causes the extension rate improvement state to function functions as an improvement state generation unit. Further, the special ART effect state is an effect state which is generated by interrupting control of the special ART effect state. Furthermore, in the special ART effect state, extension of a period during which the special ART effect state to be resumed after the end of the special ART effect state is controlled is determined.

Next, control based on the specific value in the present embodiment will be described.
Similar to the first embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a determines the amount of change of the specific value triggered by the stop of the star stop display on the pay line L1. Further, unlike the first embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a does not initialize the specific value even if the specific value reaches the specified value "100".

  The sub-control CPU 41 a reaches a specified value “100” when the winning of any of the 61st to 63rd winning combinations is instructed during the control of the special ART effect state. If it is, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect of notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win one of the 61st to the 63rd winning combinations during the control of the special ART effect state, the specific value is the prescribed value "100". If it does not reach, the navigation effect for notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye is not performed.

  Further, when shifting from the special ART effect state to the special ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets an initial value "0" as a specific value stored in the sub control RAM 41c, and initializes the specific value ( Reset.

Here, based on FIG. 12 (a)-(f), the production | presentation aspect according to the specific value in the special ART production | presentation state in this embodiment, and the aspect of an addition are demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 12A, in the situation where the specific value has not reached the specified value, when the 62nd winning combination is won, the effect display device 14 is a stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye. The navigation effect for notifying the operation order of is not performed. For this reason, in the effect display device 14, the button images BL, BC, and BR corresponding to the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, respectively, have a question mark attached thereto, and the button images BL, BC, and BR are displayed. Have the player think about which stop button to operate.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), when the stop button 23L or the stop button 23R is operated first and the normal replay stop is displayed on the pay line L1, the state shifts to the special ART effect state Instead, the special ART production state will continue.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the 62nd winning combination is won in a situation where the specification has not reached the prescribed value, the effect display device 14 is a stop for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye. A navigation effect for notifying of the operation order of the button is executed. Therefore, in the effect display device 14, the button image BC corresponding to the stop button 23C is emphasized and displayed, and the button images BL and BR respectively corresponding to the stop buttons 23L and 23R are displayed with punishment. , And informs the player that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  However, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), when the stop button 23L or the stop button 23R is operated first and the normal replay stop is displayed on the pay line L1, the state shifts to the special ART effect state Instead, the special ART production state will continue.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (e), the 62nd winning combination was won regardless of whether or not the navigation effect for notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye was performed. In this case, when the stop button 23C is operated first and the special replay stop point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the state shifts to the special ART effect state. In this special ART presentation state, every time the variation game is played, the number of additions and the number of times to be added to the number of continued games is determined, and it is determined to add "150 (times)" to the number of continued games in total It is assumed that

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 12F, when transitioning from the special ART effect state to the special ART effect state, “150” is added to the number of continued games, and the control period of the special ART effect state is extended. In addition, when the special ART effect state ends and shifts to the special ART effect state, a specific value is initialized, whereby all the scale areas M1 to M10 are decorated with “white” in the effect display device 14 The effect meter EM is displayed. Then, the player enjoys the game until the specific value reaches the specified value again.

As described in detail below, in addition to the effects (1) to (7) of the first embodiment, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(8) In the special ART effect state as the advantageous gaming state, the specific value changes as the star stop eye as the specific display result is stop displayed (displayed) on the pay line L1. Then, if it is permitted to stop and display the special replay stop eye as the special display result if the specific value has reached the specified value, the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye Since (the order of the stop operation) is notified, it is easy to shift to the special ART effect state (the extension rate improvement state is easily generated).

  For this reason, in the special ART effect state, in the advantageous game state, depending on the playability of whether or not the specific value can reach the specified value before it is permitted to stop and display the special replay stop. It is also possible to improve the interest. In addition, after the specific value reaches the specified value, the degree of attention on whether or not the stop display of the special replay stop is permitted can be enhanced to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state.

  Also, particularly when the number of continued games is small and the sense of crisis to the end of the special ART rendering state is increasing, it is acceptable to stop and display the special replay stop before the special ART rendering state ends. The interest in the advantageous game state can be improved by paying attention to whether or not the game is played.

  (9) By shifting to the special ART effect state, if the extension rate improvement state is generated, the control period of the special ART effect state as the advantageous game state is extended each time the variation game (game) is performed. The player's expectation for shifting to the special ART presentation state can be enhanced. As a result, it is possible to further increase the degree of attention that the specific value reaches the specified value, and to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state.

  (10) When the special ART effect state is being controlled, that is, when the extension rate improvement state is being generated, the symbol combination displayed in the stop display (display) extends the control period of the advantageous game state The number of times to add is different. For this reason, in the special ART effect state, the degree of attention to the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 can be increased, and the interest in the special ART effect state (extension rate improvement state) can be improved.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment of the gaming machine will be described according to FIG. The configurations similar to those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and the detailed description and the drawings are omitted.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the special replay stop may be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Further, in the pachislot machine 10 according to the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the 61st to the 63rd winning combinations are added to the winning combinations. Further, in the pachislot machine 10 of the third embodiment, the special ART effect state is controlled as in the second embodiment.

  In the special ART effect state of the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, when the winning at the cherry stop is instructed, the number of continued games is added or not, and when added, it is added to the number of continued games The number of times to do is determined.

In the pachi-slot 10 of the third embodiment, control based on a specific value is different from that of the second embodiment.
In the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, when any one of the sixty-first to the sixty-third winning combinations is won, as the specific value is closer to the specified value, the special replay stop point as the special display result is obtained. The navigation effect is performed on the effect display device 14 so that the possibility of the stop display on the pay line L1 becomes high.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the value up to the specified value is divided in stages, and the special replay stoppage is on the pay line L1 as the stage at which the specific value reaches is closer to the expected value. Among the operation order of the stop button for displaying the stop (order of the stop operation), the operation order of the stop button notified by the navigation effect is increased.

  Specifically, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, the values up to the specified value “100” are divided into the stages “0 to 49”, “50 to 99”, and “100”. . The low specified value in the present embodiment is “50”.

  And when the specific value is in the stage of “0 to 49” and the winning combination of any of the 61st winning combination to the 63rd winning combination is won, the special replay stop eye is on the payline L1 Not even a part of the operation sequence of the stop button for making the stop display on.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, in the present embodiment, the special replay stop eye is placed on the pay line L1 by adding a question mark to all the button images BL, BC, BR and displaying it on the effect display device 14. Even a part of the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping display is not notified. For this reason, the player must select the stop button to be operated first from the three stop buttons.

  In addition, when the specific value is “50 to 99” and the winning combination of the 61st winning combination to the 63rd winning combination is won, the special replay stoppage is stopped on the payline L1 A part of the operation order of the stop button for displaying is informed.

  As shown in FIG. 13B, in the present embodiment, one button image corresponding to the stop button which should not be operated first among the button images BL, BC, BR is punished, and the other button images are punished. By displaying a question mark on the effect display device 14, a part of the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye on the pay line L 1 is notified. By punishing and displaying one of the button images BL, BC, BR, the number of stop buttons to be operated can be reduced to two.

  In addition, when the specific value is “100”, when the winning combination of the 61st winning combination to the 63rd winning combination is won, the special replay stop is displayed on the payline L1. Informs the entire operation sequence of the stop button.

  As shown in FIG. 13C, in the present embodiment, the button image corresponding to the stop button to be operated first among the button images BL, BC, BR is emphasized, and the other button images are punished. By displaying on the effect display device 14, all the operation sequences of the stop button for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye on the pay line L1 are notified. By emphasizing and displaying the button image corresponding to the stop button to be operated among the button images BL, BC, BR, it is possible to narrow down to one stop button to be operated.

As described in detail below, this embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (7) of the first embodiment and the effects (8) to (10) of the second embodiment.
(11) In the special ART effect state as the advantageous game state, the specific value changes as the star stop eye as the specific display result is stop displayed (displayed) on the pay line L1. Then, the operation order of the stop button (the order of the stop operation) is notified so that the special replay stop as the special display result is more easily stopped and displayed on the payline L1 as the specific value is closer to the specified value. It becomes easy to shift to the ART production state (the extension rate improvement state tends to be generated). For this reason, when the star stopping point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, attention can be paid to how close the specific value approaches the specified value to enjoy the game, and the interest in the advantageous gaming state can be improved.

  Also, in the special ART rendering state, the possibility of transitioning to the special ART rendering state occurs, that is, the extension rate improvement state occurs, depending on how much the specific value is when it is permitted to stop and display the special replay stop. It is also possible to improve the interest in the advantageous game state by the playability that changes the possibility of being played. Further, as the specific value approaches the specified value, the degree of attention on whether or not the stop display of the special replay stop is permitted can be enhanced to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state.

  (12) The value to the specified value is divided in stages, and the special replay stop as the special display result is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 as the stage at which the specific value reaches is closer to the specified value. Of the operation order of the stop button (the order of the stop operation), the operation order to be notified increases. As described above, by making the contents notified as the operation order of the stop button different and increasing the possibility that the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the notification contents of the operation order of the stop button can be displayed. You can also let the player entertain by making them pay attention. In addition, when the specific value changes, it is possible to give pleasure to pay attention to which value the specific value changes to a value corresponding to which stage, and to improve the interest.

  (13) If the specified value has reached the low specified value "50", it is easier to shift to the special ART rendering state than when the low specified value "50" is not reached, that is, the extension rate improvement state is generated. easy. In addition, even when the specified value has reached the low specified value "50", if the specified value has reached the specified value "100", it is more special than if the specified value has not reached the specified value "100". It is easy to shift to ART production state. As described above, since the difficulty level for stopping and displaying the special replay stop eye on the pay line L1 changes stepwise, the specified value changes to a low specified value even if the specified value is not reached. It is possible to give pleasure to pay attention to whether it reaches or not and to improve the interest.

The above embodiment can be embodied in the following another embodiment (another example).
In the first embodiment, the number of times that the specific value reaches the specified value before the specific value reaches the specified value, that is, the length for extending the control period of the special ART effect state It may be configured to actually carry out the addition when the specific value has reached the specified value.

  In the second and third embodiments, as in the first embodiment, the addition may be performed when the specific value reaches the specified value. In such a configuration, the addition is performed at the timing when the specific value reaches the specified value, and the special replay stoppage is stopped and displayed on the payline L1 with the number of continued games obtained by the addition. Thus, it is possible to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state. In addition, when comprised in this way, even if a specific value reaches a stipulated value, it is preferable that the said specific value is not initialized.

  In the second embodiment and the third embodiment, when a bonus game is awarded in the special ART effect state, the number of change games in the bonus game may be subtracted from the extension rate increase number, or the bonus During the provision of the game, the extension rate improvement frequency may not be subtracted. In addition, when a bonus game is awarded in the special ART effect state, it is preferable that addition is performed even in the variation game in the bonus game when the number of variation games in the bonus game is subtracted from the extension rate improvement number . On the other hand, when a bonus game is awarded in the special ART effect state, if the number of variation games in the bonus game is not subtracted from the number of times of extension rate improvement, no addition is made in the variation game in the bonus game preferable.

  In the special ART effect state of the second embodiment and the third embodiment, if the control period of the special ART effect state is more easily extended than in the special ART effect state, the addition is performed for each fluctuation game It does not have to be configured as such. For example, when a specific display result (for example, a cherry-halved eye) is stopped and displayed, the probability of performing the addition may be increased, or the number of times of addition may be increased.

  In the above embodiment, the change amount of the specific value may be determined before the star stop point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. For example, the change amount of the specific value may be determined in response to the permission of the stop display of the star stop on the pay line L1. In addition, the change amount of the specific value may be determined when the star stopping point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 next when the change amount of the specific value is reflected.

  In the above-described embodiment, the winning combination lottery may be configured to always win a winning combination. That is, in the winning combination lottery, it may be configured not to determine the departure. Even in the case of such a configuration, there may be a case where the deviation stop point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Further, in such a configuration, the winning combination lottery corresponds to a lottery for drawing a winning combination to be won.

  In the above embodiment, when one of the plurality of winning combinations is won, when the stoppage is stopped, the type of the winning combination and the symbol associated with the prize are displayed. The combination may be configured to stop and display an out-of-stop stop (for example, a bell spill etc.) that can specify the symbol combination when the combination is stopped and displayed. In addition, in the second general game, it may be configured to shift from the second general game to the first general game, triggered by the stop display of the specific missing stop on the pay line L1.

  In the bonus game of the above embodiment, symbol combinations other than the dedicated stop may be stopped and displayed. For example, during the bonus game, the bell stop and the cherry stop may be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1.

  The 37th winning combination may not be included as the winning combination in the above embodiment. In this case, the star stop point is not displayed stopped on the pay line unless in the carry over state. Therefore, the stop display of the star stop on the pay line L1 corresponds to informing the player that the game is in the carryover state.

  The navi effect in the above embodiment is an effect of navigating not only the first stop button but also the first stop button and the second stop button. May be Such navigation effects are equivalent to navigating the stop button operated third (last) by navigating the stop button operated first and second. That is, it corresponds to navigating all the operation sequences of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R.

  In the above embodiment, the timing at which the specific value is added in a controlled manner may be before the star stop point is stopped and displayed. However, in view of the appearance of the player, it is preferable that the specific value be added in response to the stop display of the star stop eye.

  The specified value in the above embodiment may be changed. For example, the prescribed value may be "200" or "50". By adjusting the specified value, it is possible to adjust the frequency of “overlaying”, that is, the frequency (proportion) in which the control period of the advantageous gaming state is extended.

  In the special ART effect state of the above embodiment, the change amount of the specific value to be determined (selected) when the star stopping point is stopped and displayed may be uniquely determined. According to this configuration, it is easy to guess how many times the specific value reaches the specified value if the star stopping point is stopped and displayed again.

In the above embodiment, the target for which the control period is extended is not limited to the special ART effect state, but may be the normal ART effect state.
In the above embodiment, the normal ART rendering state may not be configured to be controllable. In this case, the ART lottery is won in the normal effect state, and it is transitioned to the special ART effect state on the occasion that the winning of the promotion replay stop eye is determined.

  In the above embodiment, even if the transition trigger from the normal ART presentation state to the special ART presentation state is not the winning of the eleventh winning combination, for example, the specific display result is stopped and displayed on the payline L1. It may be configured to shift from the normal ART presentation state to the special ART presentation state as a trigger.

  In the above embodiment, the change amount of the specific value which brings the specific value close to the specified value (in the above embodiment, the value to which the specific value is added) and the change amount of the specific value which moves the specific value away from the specified value In terms of form, it may have a value from which a specific value is subtracted as a change value of a specific value that can be determined (selected) as a change value of the specific value. As a result, when the star stopping point is stopped and displayed, attention can be paid to whether or not the specific value approaches the specified value, and the player can be entertained.

  In the above embodiment, the specific value itself is notified to the player in a stepwise manner. However, the amount of change from the current specific value may be notified to the player. In addition, the player may not be notified of the specific value. In such a configuration, it can be difficult to deduce the timing when the specific value reaches the specified value, and the expectation that the specific value reaches the specified value as the star stop point is stopped and displayed. Can be effectively enhanced.

  In the above embodiment, the current specific value itself may be notified in detail. For example, the specific value may be notified so as to be distinguishable between the specific value being "33" and the specific value being "34". As the method, for example, the stored specific value itself may be displayed as a number.

  In the above embodiment, the navigation effect may be performed not only by the effect display device 14 but by the speaker Sp. In addition, a light emitter may be incorporated in the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and navigation effects may be performed using the light emitter. In addition, the navigation effect may be configured to be performed using a plurality of effect execution means (in the above, the effect display device 14, the speaker Sp, and the light emitter incorporated in the stop button).

  In the above embodiment, the special ART effect state as the advantageous game state may be classified into the low advantageous game state and the high advantageous game state different from the low advantageous game state. And, when it is the special ART production state of high advantageous game state, it is constituted so that the change quantity of the specified value which is easy to reach specified value is decided (selected) easily when it is the special ART effect state of low advantage game state You may When configured in this way, depending on whether it is the low advantage gaming state or the high advantage gaming state, the ease of reaching the specified value is different, so it is noted whether it is the low advantage gaming state or the high advantage gaming state By doing this, it is possible to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state. Note that the low advantage gaming state and the high advantage gaming state may be configured to be distinguishable from the effect mode in the effect display device 14 or the like, or may be configured to be indistinguishable. Incidentally, “the change amount of the specific value which easily reaches the specified value” means a large value as the value to be added to the specific value in the above embodiment.

  In the above embodiment, even if the stop button as the specific display result is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, only when the stop button is operated in the specific operation order (specific winning order). Good. Then, in the special ART effect state, a scene in which a navigation effect for notifying the operation order of stop buttons for stopping and displaying a star stop on the pay line L1 is performed and a scene in which the navigation effect is not performed are created. May be For example, while the navi effect is executed in the special ART effect state when the number of continuing games is "one or more", the navi effect in the special ART effect state when the continuing game is "0 (zero)" May be configured not to be executed. Furthermore, when the star stopping point is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 in the situation where the navigation effect is not executed, the star stopping point is displayed on the pay line L1 in the situation where the navigation effect is executed. The amount of change in the specific value may be determined more easily than in the case where the specific value easily reaches the specified value. When configured in this way, the star stopping eye is not executed even if the navigation effect for notifying the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the star stopping eye on the pay line L1 is not executed. It is possible to suppress the discouragement of the player for the difficulty in causing the stop display on the pay line L1. Furthermore, even if the navi effect is not performed, it is possible to increase the motivation to stop and display the star stop on the pay line L1, and to improve the interest in the advantageous gaming state.

  The setting device may be provided in the pachi slot 10 of the above embodiment. The setting device is connected to the main control CPU 40a. Preferably, the setting device is disposed inside the pachi slot 10 and can not be operated by the player. Then, the setting state of the pachi slot 10 may be configured to be changeable by operating the setting device when the pachi slot 10 is powered on. By changing the setting state of the pachislot 10, the winning probability (that is, the probability that display of the display result is permitted) of at least some of the winning combinations among the plurality of winning combinations may be changeable. Then, among the change amounts that can be determined (selected) as the change amount of the specific value, the change amount that can be determined only when the pachislot 10 is in the specific setting state may be provided. When configured in this way, it may be possible to grasp the setting state set as the setting state of the pachislot 10 by the amount of change of the specific value and to determine whether the winning probability of various winning combinations is advantageous, The degree of attention to the amount of change of the specific value can be further enhanced, and the interest in the advantageous gaming state can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the determination rate (selectivity) of the change amount of the specific value may be made different according to the current specific value. For example, the closer the specified value is to the specified value, the more difficult it is to determine the amount of change in which the specified value easily reaches the specified value, but the more changed the specified value is to the specified value. It may be configured to be easy to do. When configured in this way, the determination aspect (selection aspect) of the change amount of the specific value is different according to the current specific value, so the degree of attention on what the current specific value is is further enhanced, and the advantageous game It is possible to improve the interest in the state.

In the above embodiment, the advantageous gaming state may not be the gaming state controlled in the situation where the stop display of the bonus stop eye is permitted.
In the above embodiment, when a bonus game is awarded in the normal ART effect state, the number of fluctuation games in the bonus game may be subtracted from the prescribed game number, and the prescribed game number is provided while the bonus game is awarded. May be configured not to subtract.

  In the above embodiment, when a bonus game is awarded in the special ART effect state when the number of continuing games is "one or more", the number of variation games in the bonus game may be subtracted from the number of continuing games Alternatively, the number of continuing games may not be subtracted during the provision of the bonus game.
