Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that includes a plurality of reels that variably display a plurality of types of symbols, and that plays a game in which the presence or absence of a prize is determined by a combination of symbols displayed when the reels are stopped.

  Generally, slot machines have different control related to games using reels (for example, reel drive control, role determination (role lottery) control, control of receiving and paying out game media such as game medals, and the probability of determining a role). A main control board that performs a transition control of a gaming state between a plurality of gaming states, and a sub-control board that controls various effects for the purpose of improving the fun of the game according to the gaming situation. Information transmission between both boards can be performed only in one direction from the main control board to the sub-control board.

  In addition, in a slot machine, generally, an effective line is set by inserting a specified number of game media, and a reel rotation start operation such as tilting a start lever is performed by a player, whereby a plurality of reels start rotating. To do. When a predetermined rotation speed is reached after a plurality of reels start rotating, a reel rotation stop operation such as pressing a stop switch is validated, and the player performs the reel rotation stop operation for each reel, so that each reel Are designed to stop rotating sequentially.

  Normally, any game combination (hereinafter, simply referred to as “comb”) or lose is determined by lottery after a reel rotation operation is received and before a plurality of reels start to rotate. The rotation stop is controlled based on the timing of the reel rotation stop operation by the player and the determined combination. That is, each reel is controlled to be able to stop at any timing within a predetermined time (usually a time during which 4 symbols can move at maximum) from the timing at which the reel rotation stop operation is performed. The winning combination determined by winning is established as much as possible (the combination of symbols that make up the winning combination (corresponding symbol) is stopped on the active line) and not determined by the above lottery (not winning) The winning combination is not established (the corresponding symbol is not stopped and displayed on the active line).

  Also, in conventional slot machines, the reel operation from the player to rotate or stop the reel becomes invalid, and the reel operates in a different state from normal (for example, reverse rotation or very slowly It is known to create a state called a freeze. This freeze is set when, for example, the possibility of shifting to a situation that is advantageous to the player occurs, thereby enhancing the interest of the game, such as raising the player's expectation to shift to an advantageous situation. It is used for the purpose.

  In addition, in a slot machine, generally, a re-playing game (a game medium that cannot be acquired even if established, but the next game can be performed without inserting a game medium) or a small game (a predetermined number of times when the game is established). In addition to a normal role called a role capable of acquiring a game medium), a game condition advantageous to the player than usual (for example, a predetermined small role determination probability (winning probability) is higher than usual) There is a special combination called a bonus combination that triggers the setting of Usually, such special roles are set with a very low probability of being determined (winning), and the corresponding symbols (for example, “Blue Seven, Blue Seven, Blue Seven”) are displayed on each reel. There are only a small number (usually 1 or 2) in the case.

  For this reason, even when a special combination is determined (winned), the player performs a reel rotation stop operation for each reel in anticipation of a timing at which the corresponding symbol can be stopped and displayed while discriminating the symbol to be rotated and displayed. If it is not possible to perform such an operation (hereinafter referred to as “pressing”), it is difficult to establish a special combination. However, if a special role has been determined but cannot be established, information indicating that the special role has been decided will be carried over to the next game, Even for players who are not good at, the opportunity to establish the determined special role is secured.

  Also, in the conventional slot machine, the determination probability (winning probability) of the replaying role (replaying role) that enables the game to be played again without inserting the game medium has been changed from that in the normal gaming state. (It may be changed to higher or lower), a game state called RT (replay time) is provided, and a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a specific symbol is displayed during the normal game state) It is generally known that a transition is made to RT when triggered by a stop display. The transition between a plurality of gaming states including RT is controlled by the main control board because it involves a change in the determination probability of a combination (re-game combination). In recent slot machines, when a re-game is determined (winned), each re-game is configured so that the re-game can always be established regardless of the timing of the reel rotation stop operation. The symbols are arranged on a plurality of reels.

  On the other hand, when the game state is shifted to RT, an effect period called AT (assist time) for notifying information that allows the player to play a game advantageously is set on the sub-control board. In particular, a predetermined notification effect (assist effect) is also performed, and RT for which such AT is set is generally referred to as ART (assist replay time). As an assist effect performed during ART, for example, when a small role that can acquire a game medium is determined (winned), this is notified, or the determined small role is established (correspondence For example, a reel rotation stop operation procedure for displaying a symbol on an effective line) is known. There is also known a slot machine that has a game property in which ART is determined by setting AT first on the sub-control board side and then setting RT on the main control board side.

  In addition, a game period (hereinafter referred to as a “specific game period”) in which a probability that a predetermined privilege (for example, the right to set ART) is given to the player is higher than usual is set on the sub-control board side. There are also known slot machines. In such a specific game period, a specific game result related to the grant of a privilege (for example, that a predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position) is obtained as a condition for granting the privilege. In many cases, an effect (hereinafter referred to as “mission effect” as appropriate) shown in a command (mission) format is given to a person.

  For example, within a predetermined number of game periods (within a specific game period), a mission effect is performed with a mission of obtaining a game result of establishing a predetermined game actor a predetermined number of times. There is known a slot machine that grants, as a privilege, a right to be notified of information that is useful for a player in proceeding with a game (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

JP 2008-229259 A

  In the case of the slot machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is determined that a privilege is granted when a specific game result related to the achievement of a mission is obtained within a specific game period. It is determined that the privilege is not granted at the time when it cannot be obtained.

  As described above, in the slot machine configured to determine whether or not a privilege is given based only on a game result within a specific game period, there is an advantage that it is easy for a player to know whether or not a privilege is given. However, on the other hand, the player may know whether or not a privilege is granted at an early stage within the specific game period, and the gameability in the specific game period may be impaired.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even when a specific game result related to the provision of a privilege is obtained, the player does not know whether or not the privilege is granted within a specific game period. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine capable of improving game playability in a specific game period.

Below the slot machine for achieving the above object has the following features. In the following description of the characteristic configuration, an example of a configuration corresponding to an embodiment described later is shown in parentheses.

The slot machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of reels that variably display a plurality of types of symbols, a bet operation for betting game media (for example, a game medal insertion operation into the medal insertion slot 21, a 1-BET switch 22 Or a pressing operation of the MAX-BET switch 23), a reel rotation start operation for starting rotation of a plurality of reels (for example, tilting operation of the start lever 25), and a reel rotation stop operation for stopping rotation of each of the plurality of reels. (For example, pressing operation of the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c), an operation means for sequentially determining a role relating to a predetermined game character, a reel rotation start operation and a reel rotation stop received by the operation means A reel control hand that controls the driving of a plurality of reels based on the operation and the result of the role determination by the role determination means And a stop operation order-compatible game player (for example, a push order-compatible game player) whose combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed on a plurality of reels is changed according to the order of the reel rotation stop operation received by the operation means. When determined, an assist effect means that can execute an assist effect (for example, push order navigation effect) for suggesting an appropriate reel rotation stop operation order, and a predetermined setting permission condition is satisfied (for example, A specific game period (the probability that a privilege (for example, navigation right) related to the execution mode of the assist effect is given to the player is higher than the normal game period) For example, when a specific game period setting means for setting a mission period) and a specific game result (for example, establishment of a bell) are obtained in the specific game period, a privilege is given to the player. Privilege grant determining means for determining whether or not to perform, first notification control means for notifying that the specific game period has been set, and second for notifying in the period before the specific game period is set An assist control execution mode (for example, whether or not to perform a push order navigation effect) when a stop operation order-compatible game player is determined by a role determination. When a game player of the type is determined outside the specific game period, the execution mode in the case where the bonus is determined to be granted is different from the execution mode in the case where the execution mode is not determined (for example, the determination is made) If there is no decision, the push order navigation effect will be executed. If no decision has been made, the push order navigation effect will not be executed). Are determined in the same manner as the execution mode in the case where it is determined that the privilege is given and the execution mode in the case where it is not determined to be granted (for example, the push order navigation effect is not executed). In the game after the notification by the second notification control means is executed , the first notification control is triggered when the predetermined setting permission condition is satisfied and a predetermined operation (for example, a bet operation) is performed. The notification by means is executed.
In the slot machine, in the game after the notification by the second notification control means is executed, the notification by the first notification control means is not executed based on the fact that the re-game is established in the immediately preceding game. be able to.
The reference slot machine includes a plurality of reels that variably display a plurality of types of symbols, a bet operation for betting game media (for example, a game medal insertion operation into the medal insertion slot 21, a 1-BET switch 22 or a MAX -Pressing operation of the BET switch 23), reel rotation start operation for starting rotation of a plurality of reels (for example, tilting operation of the start lever 25), and reel rotation stop operation for stopping rotation of each of the plurality of reels (for example, In order to determine at least one of a plurality of game combinations and losers, triggered by operation means for sequentially receiving stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c) and a predetermined combination determination start condition being satisfied. And a role rotation start operation and a reel rotation stop operation and a role received by the operation means. The reel control means for controlling the driving of the plurality of reels based on the result of the combination determination by the fixing means, and the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the plurality of reels is changed according to the order of the reel rotation stop operation received by the operation means. When a stop operation order-compatible game player (for example, a push order-compatible game player) is determined by determining a combination, an assist effect (for example, a push-order navigation effect) for suggesting an appropriate reel rotation stop operation order is provided. A privilege (for example, navigation right) according to the execution mode of the assist effect triggered by the executable assist effect means and that a predetermined setting permission condition is satisfied (for example, the target game has been performed a predetermined number of times) A specific game period setting means for setting a specific game period (for example, a mission period) in which the probability that the player is given to the player is higher than the normal game period, and the specific game period When a specific game result (for example, establishment of a bell) is obtained, a privilege grant determining means for determining whether or not to grant a privilege to the player, and a privilege granted to the player by the privilege grant determining means And a specific game period continuation determining means for determining whether or not to continue the specific game period when the determination is made, and the assist effect when the stop operation order-compatible game player is determined by the role determination The execution mode (for example, whether or not to execute the push order navigation effect) is determined to give a privilege when the stop operation order-compatible game player is determined outside the specific game period. A mode in which the execution mode in the case is not different from the execution mode in the case (for example, the push order navigation effect is executed when the determination is made, and the press is performed when the determination is not made. When the game player corresponding to the stop operation order is determined within the specific game period, the execution mode in the case where it is determined that the privilege is given is not set. The execution mode in the case is set to the same mode (for example, the push order navigation effect is not executed).

  According to the slot machine having such a characteristic configuration, when a specific game result is obtained within a specific game period, the grant of the privilege is not immediately confirmed by that, but the privilege is determined through the determination by the privilege grant determining means. Whether or not to grant is determined. Therefore, if the determination result is not notified to the player within the specific game period, the player has a sense of expectation that a privilege may be given by obtaining the specific game result. The player can be prevented from knowing whether or not the privilege is actually given.

  In addition, when a decision to grant a privilege is made by the privilege grant determining means, a privilege related to the execution mode of the assist effect is given to the player, but the game player corresponding to the stop operation order is specified. The execution mode of the assist effect when determined within the game period is set to be the same as the execution mode when it is not determined that the privilege is given. For this reason, the player cannot determine whether or not a privilege has been granted depending on the execution mode of the assist effect.

The above “decision determination” is executed by using an electronic device or the like in order to randomly select one or a plurality of game actors or losers from a plurality of types of game actors and losers set in advance. This means a selection act such as a lottery. However, the timing for obtaining the combination determination result (contents derived by the selection action) can be set at various points in the selection action process. For example, in the case of lottery using random numbers, when the slot machine acquires one random number from the random number sequence, when the acquired random number is stored in the storage area, the acquired random number is set on the lottery table. Any one of a plurality of numerical ranges, a time when it is determined, a game player corresponding to a numerical range to which the acquired random number belongs, a time when the determined result is stored in a storage area, etc. It can be set as the acquisition time of the combination determination result.

In addition, the above-mentioned “predetermined game result is obtained” means that a predetermined combination determination result is obtained, or that a predetermined symbol combination is on a predetermined position (on the active line or not on the active line) ), Etc.). The symbol combination here is a combination of a plurality of symbols (all of the symbol types may be the same or only a part may be the same or all may be different). This includes the case of a single (one) symbol. When it is composed of a single symbol, it is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position. A predetermined symbol placed on a predetermined reel is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position in a symbol display section (for example, display window W). Means that.

The slot machine according to the present invention comprises a specific game period continuation determining means for determining whether or not to continue a specific game period when a determination is made that a privilege is given to a player by the privilege grant determining means. In the specific game period when the continuation of the specific game period is determined by the game period continuation determination means, the probability that the privilege grant determination means determines the grant of the privilege before and after the continuation determination is made (hereinafter, (Referred to as “privilege grant determination probability” as appropriate).

  According to the slot machine of this aspect, by setting the privilege grant determination probability after the continuation determination higher than the privilege grant determination probability before the continuation determination, there is a possibility that the privilege grant determination is made a plurality of times in the specific game period. Or, conversely, by setting the benefit grant probability after continuation decision lower than the privilege grant probability before continuation decision, the possibility that the privilege grant decision is made multiple times during the specific game period is reduced. You can make it.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present invention, when the non-continuation of the specific game period is determined by the specific game period continuation determining unit, a specific game period continuation effect (for example, for example) (Mission Continuation Effect) and a specific game period end effect (for example, mission end effect) indicating that the specific game period has ended. In the game period after the game period (for example, the first game period after the mission period), and the game period after the game period (for example, the second game after the mission period). During the period), the effect of executing the privilege granting effect (for example, mission achievement effect) indicating that the privilege granting means has been determined by the privilege grant determining means. Means (e.g., effect the execution control unit 111, the image display device 11, etc.) can be made to comprise a.

  According to the slot machine of this aspect, in spite of the fact that the privilege grant is actually determined in the specific game period, this is understood by the player over a plurality of game periods after the end of the specific game period. It becomes possible not to be.

In addition, whether or not to set a specific game period triggered by the fact that a predetermined game result was obtained in the above slot machine (for example, that small role 2 (corresponding symbol “watermelon / watermelon / watermelon”) was won) A specific game period setting selection means for selecting the game game, and a specific game period setting selection means for determining a specific game period as a condition for setting the specific game period when the selection is made. Any of the game actors performed after the game when a predetermined game result is obtained when the specified game period setting means and the specific game period setting selection means are selected to set the specific game period. An execution game number counting means that counts the number of times of a predetermined target game including a game when the game is not established as the number of execution games, and the predetermined setting permission condition is It is that the counted running game number reaches the predetermined number of games by skill number counting means, can be.

  According to the slot machine having such a characteristic configuration, after the selection of setting the specific game period by the specific game period setting selection means is made, the number of times that the target game has been performed has reached the specified number of games. A specific game period is set. If the player is not notified of how many times the specified number of games has been set, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing in advance that the specific game period is set. In addition, since the target game includes a game when no game player is established (hereinafter referred to as “losing game” as appropriate), a specific game period may be set after the losing game. is there. For this reason, even when the game of losing game continues, it is possible to continue the game while giving the player a sense of expectation that a specific game period may be set.

The “predetermined target game” can be arbitrarily set as long as it includes a lose game. For example, only a lose game is set as a target game, all games including a lose game are set as a target game, or a predetermined game player (any game player can be assigned) is established in addition to a lose game For example, setting the game at the time of playing as a target game.

  According to the slot machine according to the present invention, whether or not a privilege is granted is determined within the specific game period even when a specific game result related to the privilege is obtained by providing the above-described characteristic configuration. In this case, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing, and thereby it is possible to improve the game performance in a specific game period.

The lottery table shown in FIG. 17 is used in the BB gaming state (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “BB in progress”) that is shifted when the first BB combination or the second BB combination is established. In the lottery table in BB shown in FIG. 17, only the combination determination result A27 corresponding to the entire numerical value range (1 to N _Z ) of the random number sequence generated by the random number generator 66 is set. A small role 3 is associated with A27. In this way, in determining the combination in the BB, the small combination 3 is set to be determined with a probability of 100%. As described above, since the small combination 3 is a combination that can be pulled in 100%, it is possible to efficiently acquire many game medals during the BB. It should be noted that the types and probabilities of the lots drawn during each gaming state can be set as appropriate, such as increasing or decreasing. For example, during the BB gaming state, a lottery other than the small role 3 may be drawn or a loss may be set.

<Pushing order gamers>
Of the above-mentioned bell combination, the small combination 3 to the small combination 13 and the re-playing combination 1 to the re-playing combination 8 are set as “a push order-compatible game combination (stop operation order-compatible game combination)”. Here, the push-order-corresponding game combination is a combination of a plurality of game combinations to be selected in duplicate (a result of determining a combination), and when a plurality of combined game combinations are selected in succession, the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are selected. This means a game combination in which which one of a plurality of game combinations is preferentially established (which may not be established) varies depending on the order in which they are operated. .

  In the present embodiment, three types of push order-corresponding game actors, “3 choice push order replay” shown in FIG. 18, “5 choice push order replay” shown in FIG. 19, and “3 choice push order replay” shown in FIG. Is set.

<< 3 choice push bell >>
In “3 selection push order bell”, as shown in FIG. 18, three push orders of “push order 1” to “push order 3” are set. “Push order 1” is set when any of the winning combination determination results A6 to A9 is obtained. When the stop switch 26b is operated first (“middle first” in FIG. 18). The correct answer pressing order is determined in (Description). That is, in the case of this “push order 1”, the correct answer is pressed when the stop switch operation order is 26b → 26a → 26c (middle → left → right) and 26b → 26c → 26a (middle → right → left). In the case of other operation orders, the order is incorrect.

  Similarly, “push order 2” is set when any of the combination determination results A10 to A13 is obtained, and when the stop switch 26a is operated first (in FIG. 18, “left first” The correct answer pressing order is determined. “Push order 3” is set when any one of the combination determination results A14 to A17 is obtained. When the stop switch 26c is operated first (“right first” in FIG. 18). The correct answer pressing order is determined.

  In the “3 selection push order bell”, when the above “push order 1” is set, the following reel control is performed. In other words, when the actual operation order of the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c matches the correct pressing order (hereinafter referred to as “when pressing is correct” as appropriate), the small role that is a gaming role that can be drawn 100%. Reel control is performed so that 4 is established. On the other hand, when the actual operation order does not match the correct answer pressing order (hereinafter referred to as “when the pressing order is incorrect”), depending on the timing at which the stop switches 26a, 26b, 26c are operated, ~ A small combination 13 (depending on whether any of the combination determination results A6 to A9 is obtained) can be established, and if it cannot be established, Any of the specified spilled eyes A to C (in the case of the stop switch 26a being operated last among the stop switches 26a, 26b, 26c, the specified spilled point C, and finally when the stop switch 26b is operated) If the specified spilled B, and finally the stop switch 26c is operated, the specified spilled A. Reel control is performed in (a specific example will be described later).

  Specific spilled eyes A are eight symbol combinations “Replay A / Bell A / Bell A” and “Replay A / Bell A” when the stop switch 26c is last operated among the stop switches 26a, 26b, 26c. "Bell B", "Replay A / Bell B / Bell A", "Replay A / Bell B / Bell B", "Replay B / Bell A / Bell A", "Replay B / Bell A / Bell B", " Any one of “Replay B, Bell B, Bell A” and “Replay B, Bell B, Bell B” is a spilled eye set to be stopped and displayed on the active line 29.

  Specific spilled eyes B are the six symbol combinations “Replay A / Cherry / White Seven” and “Replay A / Cherry / Replay” when the stop switch 26b is operated last among the stop switches 26a, 26b, 26c. "A", "Replay A / Cherry / Replay B", "Replay B / Cherry / White Seven", "Replay B / Cherry / Replay A", or "Replay B / Cherry / Replay B" is valid line 29 This is a spilled eye that is set to stop.

  In addition, the specific spilled eye C means that when the stop switch 26a is operated last among the stop switches 26a, 26b, 26c, the 12 symbol combinations “Bell A / Bell A / White Seven”, “Bell A / “Bell A / Bell A / Replay B”, “Bell A / Bell B / White 7”, “Bell A / Bell B / Replay A”, “Bell A / Bell B / Replay B” , "Bell B, Bell A, White Seven", "Bell B, Bell A, Replay A", "Bell B, Bell A, Replay B", "Bell B, Bell B, White Seven", "Bell B, Bell One of “B / Replay A” and “Bell B / Bell B / Replay B” is a spilled eye set to be stopped and displayed on the active line 29.

  Further, when the above-mentioned “push order 2” is set in the “3 selection push order bell”, the following reel control is performed. That is, the reel control is performed so as to establish a small combination 3 that is a game combination that can be drawn 100% when the push order is correct, and at the timing when the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated when the push order is incorrect, If any of the small roles 6 to 13 (depending on whether any of the combination determination results A10 to A13 is obtained) can be established, and if it cannot be established, The reel control is performed so that any one of the specific spills A to C shown in FIG.

  Similarly, when the above-mentioned “push order 3” is set in the “3 selection push order bell”, the following reel control is performed. That is, the reel control is performed so as to establish the small role 5 that is a game player that can be drawn 100% when the push order is correct, and at the time when the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated, If any of the small roles 6 to 13 (depending on whether any of the combination determination results A14 to A17 is obtained) can be established, and if it cannot be established, The reel control is performed so that any one of the specific spills A to C shown in FIG.

  Here, as a specific example of the reel control in the “3 choice push order bell”, the “push order 1” is obtained by obtaining the winning combination determination result A6 (small winning combination 4, small winning combination 6, and small winning combination 13). A case will be described in which the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated in the incorrect answer pressing order of 26a → 26c → 26b (left → right → middle).

In the left reel, either “Replay A” or “Replay B” can be withdrawn, and in this case, there is no other stop mode.

  (2) In the above (1), when the corresponding symbol “Replay A” is drawn on the left reel, the small reel 6 is handled on the right reel depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 26c that is operated second. If the symbol “White Seven” or “Replay A” can be withdrawn (in this case, there is a possibility that the small role 6 will be established). If not, the corresponding symbol “Replay B” of the small role 13 is drawn. (In this case, there is no possibility that the small combination 6 or the small combination 13 is established). In the right reel, either “White Seven”, “Replay A”, or “Replay B” can be withdrawn, and in this case, there is no other stop mode.

  (3) In the above (2), when the corresponding symbol “white seven” or “replay A” of the small role 6 is pulled in with the right reel, the middle reel has a small size depending on the operation timing of the last operated stop switch 26b. If the corresponding symbol “Bell A” of the role 6 can be withdrawn (in this case, the small role 6 is established), if not, the corresponding symbol “cherry” of the specific spilled eye B is withdrawn (in this case, Any symbol combination of the specific spilled B shown in FIG. 21 is stopped and displayed on the effective line 29).

  (2 ′) In the above (1), when the corresponding symbol “Replay B” of the small role 13 is drawn in with the left reel, the small reel 13 of the small role 13 is controlled according to the operation timing of the stop switch 26c operated second. If the corresponding symbol “Replay B” can be withdrawn (in this case, there is a possibility that the small role 13 will be established), and if not, the corresponding symbol “White Seven” or “Replay A” for the small role 6 will be Pull in (in this case, there is no possibility that the small combination 6 or the small combination 13 is established).

  (3 ′) In the above (2), when the symbol “White Seven” or “Replay A” of the small role 6 is drawn in with the right reel, the small reel has a small size depending on the operation timing of the last operated stop switch 26b. If the corresponding symbol “Bell” of the role 6 can be retracted (in this case, the small role 6 is established), if not, the corresponding symbol “cherry” of the specific spilled eye B is retracted (in this case, Any symbol combination of the specific spilled B shown in FIG. 21 is stopped and displayed on the effective line 29).

  (4) In (2) above, when the corresponding symbol “Replay B” of the small role 13 is drawn in with the right reel, and in the above (2 ′), the symbol “White Seven” or “Replay” of the small role 6 in the right reel When “A” is drawn, the middle reel draws the corresponding symbol “cherry” of the specific spilled B regardless of the operation timing of the last operated stop switch 26b (in this case, the specific spilled pattern shown in FIG. 21). Any symbol combination of B is stopped and displayed on the effective line 29).

  In the above description, of the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c, an example of the incorrect pressing order in which the stop switch 26b was last operated is given as an example. In the case of the order (26c → 26b → 26a (right → middle → left)), when the corresponding symbol of the small role 6 or the small role 13 cannot be drawn, any symbol combination of the specific spilled eye C shown in FIG. Is stopped on the active line 29. Similarly, when the stop switch 26c is last operated in the incorrect pressing order (26a → 26b → 26c (left → middle → right)), the corresponding symbol of the small role 6 or the small role 13 cannot be drawn. Any symbol combination of the specific spilled eye A shown in FIG. 21 is stopped and displayed on the active line 29.

When operated in order, if the small combination 7 or the small combination 12 can be established depending on the timing at which the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated, they are established and cannot be established. In this case, the reel control is performed so that any one of the specific spills A to C shown in FIG.

  In addition, “push order 3” is set by obtaining the combination determination result A16 (small winning combination of small combination 5, small combination 8 and small combination 11), and stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are set in the incorrect pressing order. Is operated when the stop switch 26a, 26b, 26c is operated, if the small combination 8 or the small combination 11 can be established, and cannot be established. First, reel control is performed so that any one of the specific spills A to C shown in FIG. Similarly, “push order 3” is set when the winning combination determination result A17 (small winning combination 5, small winning combination 9, and small winning combination 10) is obtained, and the stop switches 26a, 26b, 26c are pressed incorrectly. When operated in order, if either the small combination 9 or the small combination 10 can be established at the timing at which the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated, they are established and cannot be established. In this case, the reel control is performed so that any one of the specific spills A to C shown in FIG.

  In the above-mentioned “3 selection push order bell”, any one of the specific spilled eyes A to C that may be stopped and displayed on the effective line 29 when the push order is incorrect is displayed on the effective line 29. The stop display is a condition T for shifting from the RT2 gaming state to the non-RT gaming state as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the RT2 gaming state, “3 choice push order bell” is set, and if any of the specific spills A to C is stopped and displayed on the active line 29 due to an incorrect push order, the RT2 gaming state is set. To the non-RT gaming state.

《5 choice push order replay》
In “5 selection push order replay”, as shown in FIG. 19, five push orders of “push order A” to “push order E” are set. The “push order A” is set when the combination determination result A19 (repeating winning combination of the replaying combination 1 to the replaying combination 4) is obtained, and when the stop switch 26b is operated first (FIG. 19). In this case, the correct answer pressing order is determined. That is, in the case of “push order A”, the correct answer is pushed when the stop switch operation order is 26b → 26a → 26c (middle → left → right) and 26b → 26c → 26a (middle → right → left). In the case of other operation orders, the order is incorrect.

  “Push order B” is set when a combination determination result A20 (re-playing combination 1 to 5) is obtained, and the stop switch is 26a → 26b → 26c (left → middle → Only when operated in the order of (right), the correct answer is pressed. Similarly, the “push order C” is set when the combination determination result A21 (re-playing combination 1 to re-playing combination 4 and re-playing combination 6 is won), and the stop switch 26a → Only when the operation is performed in the order of 26c → 26b (left → right → middle), the correct answer is pressed. The “push order D” is set when a combination determination result A22 (re-playing combination 1 to re-playing combination 4 and re-playing combination 7 is won), and the stop switch is set to 26c → 26b → 26a. Only when the operations are performed in the order of (right → middle → left), the correct answer is pressed. The “push order E” is set when the winning combination determination result A23 (re-winning combination of the re-playing role 1 to the re-playing role 4 and the re-playing role 8) is obtained, and the stop switch is set to 26c → 26a. Only when the operation is performed in the order of → 26b (right → left → middle), the correct answer is pressed.

  In the “5-select push order replay”, the following similar reel control is performed when any of the above-mentioned “push order A” to “push order E” is set. That is, at the time of correct answer in the pushing order, the reel control is performed so as to establish any one of the replaying combination 1 to the replaying combination 3 according to the order and timing in which the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated. In some cases, reel control is performed so as to establish a re-gamer 4 which is a gamer that can be pulled in 100%.

  As a specific example of the reel control in the “5 choice push order replay”, “push order B” is set by obtaining the combination determination result A20 (re-winning combination of re-playing role 1 to re-playing role 4). Next, the case where the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated in the incorrect answer pressing order of 26a → 26c → 26b (left → right → middle) will be described.

  <1> When the stop switch 26a is first operated, it is not determined whether the correct answer pressing order or the incorrect answer pressing order. Therefore, on the left reel, the stop switch 26a of the corresponding symbol “Replay A” (also the corresponding symbol for the Regaming player 1) or “Replay B” (also the corresponding symbol for the Regaming character 2) on the left reel. The one that can be pulled in is pulled in at this operation timing (at this stage, there is a possibility that any one of the replaying combination 1, the replaying combination 2 and the replaying combination 4 will be established).

  <2> When the stop switch 26c is operated for the second time, it is determined that the order is the incorrect pressing order. Therefore, in the right reel, of the corresponding symbols “Bell A” and “Bell B” of the replaying combination 4, the one that can be pulled in according to the operation timing of the stop switch 26c is drawn (at this stage, There is no possibility that Re-Gamer 2 will be established).

  <3> In the middle reel, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 26b that was last operated, the corresponding symbol “Replay A” (which is also the corresponding symbol of the regaming players 1 to 3) is drawn (this) As a result, the re-game 4 is established).

  When the “pressing order B” is set, if the stop switch 26b or the stop switch 26c is operated first, it is determined that the order is the incorrect answer pressing order. Accordingly, at this stage, it is determined that the reel control for establishing the replaying combination 4 is performed. However, when the stop switch 26b is operated first, the “replay A” (corresponding symbol common to the replays 1 to 4) is drawn in the middle reel regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 26b. At this stage, the player does not know that the reel control for establishing the re-game player 4 is being performed. In addition, when the stop switch 26c is operated for the first time, on the right reel, depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 26b, the corresponding symbol "Bell A" or "Bell B" In this stage, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing that the reel control for establishing the re-gamer 4 is being performed.

  In “5 selection push order replay”, another push order (any one of “push order A”, “push order C” to “push order E”) is set, and the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are pressed in the wrong answer order. The reel control when operated in the same manner as in the case where the “push order B” described above is set, and therefore detailed description thereof is omitted.

《3 choice push order replay》
In “3 choice push order replay”, as shown in FIG. 20, three push orders of “push order α” to “push order γ” are set. The “push order α” is set when the combination determination result A24 (re-winning combination of the re-playing combination 4 to the re-playing combination 8) is obtained, and when the stop switch 26b is operated first (FIG. 20). In this case, the correct answer pressing order is determined. That is, in the case of “push order A”, the correct answer is pushed when the stop switch operation order is 26b → 26a → 26c (middle → left → right) and 26b → 26c → 26a (middle → right → left). In the case of other operation orders, the order is incorrect.

  The “push order β” is set when the combination determination result A25 (replaying combination 1, replaying about 4 to 8 replaying combination 8) is obtained, and the stop switch 26a is operated first. In this case (in FIG. 20, “left first” is described), the correct pressing order is determined. That is, in this “push order B”, the correct answer is pressed when the operation sequence of the stop switch is 26a → 26b → 26c (left → middle → right) and 26a → 26c → 26b (left → right → middle). In the case of other operation orders, the order is incorrect. Similarly, the “push order γ” is set when the combination determination result A26 (re-playing combination 2, re-playing combination 4 to re-playing combination 8 is won), and the stop switch 26c is first set. The correct answer pressing order is determined when the button is operated (described as “right first” in FIG. 20). In other words, in the case of this “push order γ”, the correct answer is pressed when the stop switch operation order is 26c → 26b → 26a (right → middle → left) and 26c → 26a → 26b (right → left → middle). In the case of other operation orders, the order is incorrect.

  In “3-selection push order replay”, the following similar reel control is performed regardless of any of the above-mentioned “push order α” to “push order γ”. That is, at the time of correct push order, reel control is performed so as to establish any one of the re-game player 5 to the re-game player 8, and at the wrong push order, the re-game player 4 which is a game player that can be pulled in 100%. The reel control is performed so as to be established.

  As a specific example of the reel control in “3 choice push order replay”, “push order α” is set by obtaining the combination determination result A24 (re-winning combination of re-playing role 4 to re-playing role 8). Next, the case where the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated in the correct pressing order of 26b → 26a → 26c (middle → left → right) will be described.

  [1] When the stop switch 26b is first operated, it is determined that the correct answer is pressed. Therefore, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 26b, in the middle reel, the common symbol “cherry” is drawn into the replaying role 5 to the replaying role 8 (at this stage, the replaying role 5 to the replaying role 8 There is still a possibility that it will hold for both).

  [2] When the stop switch 26a is operated for the second time, in the case of the left reel, the corresponding symbol “Bell A” that is common to the replaying combination 5 and the replaying combination 6 can be pulled in by the operation timing of the stop switch 26a. Draws this (in this case, there is a possibility that either of the replaying role 5 and the replaying role 6 will be established) and draws the corresponding symbol “Bell B” common to the replaying role 7 and the replaying role 8 If it can be loaded, it is pulled in (in this case, there is a possibility that either the re-game player 7 or the re-game player 8 will be established).

  [3] In the above [2], when the common symbol “Bell A” is drawn in the replaying combination 5 and the replaying combination 6 with the left reel, the operation timing of the stop switch 26c operated last is used. When the corresponding symbol “replay A” of the replaying role 5 can be pulled in, this is pulled in (in this case, the replaying role 5 is established), and the corresponding symbol “replay B” of the replaying role 6 can be pulled in. In this case, it is pulled in (in this case, the re-playing combination 6 is established).

  On the other hand, in the above [2], when the corresponding symbol “Bell B” common to the replaying combination 7 and the replaying combination 8 is pulled in with the left reel, the replaying is performed according to the operation timing of the last operated stop switch 26c. When the corresponding symbol “Replay A” of the game player 7 can be withdrawn (in this case, the replay player 7 is established), and when the corresponding symbol “Replay B” of the regame player 8 is withdrawn Pulls this in (in this case, the re-game 8 is established).

  When the “push order α” is set, the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated in other correct push orders, or other push orders (“push order” in “3 alternative push order replay”). In the reel control when “β” or “push order γ”) is set, the “push order α” described above is set, and the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are changed from 26b → 26a → 26c (middle → left → This is the same as the case of operation in the correct answer pressing order (right), and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the above-mentioned “5 option push order replay” or “3 option push order replay”, the re-game player 4 established at the time of incorrect push order answer is shown in FIG. The condition P for shifting from the RT1 gaming state to the RT is set. Therefore, in the non-RT gaming state, “5 choice push order replay” or “3 choice push order replay” is set, and if the push order is incorrect, the non-RT gaming state is shifted to the RT1 gaming state. . Further, in “3 alternative push order replay”, any one of the re-game players 5 to 8 that is established at the time of the correct push-order answer may be established, as shown in FIG. This is a condition Q for shifting from the state to the RT2 gaming state. Therefore, in the non-RT gaming state, “3 alternative push order replay” is set, and when the push order is correct, the non-RT gaming state is shifted to the RT2 gaming state.

<Processing of role determination result information>
As described above, in this embodiment, information indicating the result of the combination determination (random number lottery) is stored in each storage area (see FIG. 5) of the combination determination information storage unit 102. For example, when the combination determination result A1 of the lottery table shown in FIG. 11 is obtained by the combination determination in the non-RT carry-over gaming period, the first BB combination is determined as the winning combination and the first BB combination is When the winning flag information of the first BB combination indicating that it is determined is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021 and the combination determination result A2 is obtained, the second BB combination is determined as the winning combination, The winning flag information of the second BB combination indicating that the 2BB combination is determined is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021.

  Similarly, when the combination determination result A3 of the lottery table shown in FIG. 11 is obtained by determining the combination in the non-RT carry-over game period, the small combination 1 is determined as the winning combination and this is indicated. When the winning flag information of the combination determination result A3 is stored in the small combination determination information storage area 1022 and the combination determination result A4 is obtained, the small combination 2 is determined as the winning combination, and the combination indicating that The winning flag information of the determination result A4 is stored in the small role determination information storage area 1022.

  In addition, when any of the combination determination results A5 to A17 in the lottery table shown in FIG. 11 is obtained by the combination determination in the non-RT carry-over game period, a plurality of combinations corresponding to the acquired combination determination results are obtained. A bell combination (any combination of small combination 3 to small combination 14) is determined as a duplicate winning combination, and winning flag information of any combination determination result A5 to A17 indicating that is stored as a small combination determination information storage. Stored in area 1022. Similarly, when any of the combination determination results A18 to A26 in the lottery table shown in FIG. 11 is obtained by the combination determination in the non-RT carry-over game period, a plurality of combinations corresponding to the acquired combination determination results are obtained. The re-playing combination (any combination of re-playing combination 1 to re-playing combination 8) is determined as the duplicate winning combination, and the winning flag information of any of the combination determination results A18 to A26 indicating that is It is stored in the equal determination information storage area 1022. On the other hand, when the winning combination determination result Z1 is obtained, it is determined that the game is lost, and no winning flag information is stored in the winning determination information storage unit 102 (the lost flag information may be stored. The same applies below).

  In the non-RT carry-over game period, the winning flag information storage process in the case where any combination determination result of A3 to A26, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown in FIG. This is the same as the case where the combination determination result of any one of A3 to A26 and Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown in FIG. On the other hand, when one of the combination determination results Z2 and Z3 is obtained, no combination is stored in the combination determination information storage means 102 as being lost, as in the case where the combination determination result Z1 is obtained.

  FIG. 11 shows the storage process of winning flag information when the combination determination result of A1 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown in FIG. 13 during the RT1 non-carry-over game period. This is the same as the case where the same combination determination result of A1 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown. In addition, in the above RT1 carryover game period, the winning flag information storage processing when the combination determination result of any of A3 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown in FIG. 14 is shown in FIG. This is the same as the case where any of the combination determination results A3 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown, and the processing when any of the combination determination results Z2, Z3 is obtained is shown in FIG. This is the same as when either of the same combination determination results Z2 and Z3 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown in FIG.

  FIG. 13 shows the storage processing of winning flag information when the winning decision result of any of A1 to A18 and Z1 is obtained by the winning decision using the lottery table shown in FIG. This is the same as the case where the same combination determination result of A1 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown. In addition, in the RT2 carry-over game period, the winning flag information storage processing in the case where the winning decision result of any of A3 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the winning decision using the lottery table shown in FIG. 16 is shown in FIG. This is the same as the case where any of the combination determination results A3 to A18, Z1 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown, and the processing when any of the combination determination results Z2, Z3 is obtained is shown in FIG. This is the same as when either of the same combination determination results Z2 and Z3 is obtained by the combination determination using the lottery table shown in FIG.

  When the combination determination result A27 of the lottery table shown in FIG. 17 is obtained by the combination determination in the BB middle game period, only the small combination 3 of the Bell combination is determined as the winning combination, The winning flag information of the determined combination determination result A27 is stored in the small combination determination information storage area 1022.

  The winning flag information of the first BB role or the second BB role stored in the special role determination information storage area 1021 and each role determination result corresponding to each winning role stored in the small role determination information storage area 1022 The winning flag information is transmitted from the information transmission unit 109 of the main control unit 100 to the information reception unit 113 of the sub control unit 110 (refer to the control flow described later for the transmission timing).

  In addition, the winning flag information of each combination determination result stored in the small combination determination information storage area 1022 is cleared (erased) after the information is stored and before the transition to the next game period. The winning flag information of the first BB combination or the second BB combination stored in the combination determination information storage area 1021 is cleared when the first BB combination or the second BB combination is established, and is not cleared when the combination is not established. , Carried over to the next game period.

<Setting the mission period>
The mission period in the present embodiment is a period in which the probability of granting a player the right to perform a push order navigation effect (navigation right) to be described later is higher than the normal game period. Is set. In FIG. 22, a thick arrow pointing to the right indicates a time axis indicating the progress of the game period in the non-RT gaming state or the RT1 gaming state, and the black dot plotted on this time axis is described above it. This shows the time when a game item such as a result of determining a winning combination (item described in a square or circular frame) occurs. In addition, a lottery, an effect, and the like performed in response to the occurrence of the game items described above the black spot are described at the tip of the arrow line extending downward from the black spot. In FIG. 22, “mission” or “mission period” is abbreviated as “MS”, and “game period” is abbreviated as “G”.

《Mission lottery》
As shown in FIG. 22, in the role determination in an arbitrary game period before the mission period, when the role determination result (portion determination result A4) of watermelon winning (winning of small role 2) is obtained, the above-mentioned specific game period setting selection Mission launch lottery is performed by means 1131 (see FIG. 7). This mission activation lottery determines whether or not to set a mission period. In this embodiment, the mission activation lottery is performed using the mission activation lottery table shown in FIG. In this mission activation lottery table, the probability of “winning” for setting the mission period is set to 1/20, and the probability of “losing” for not setting the mission period is set to 19/20 (specific numerical value of the probability). Can be changed as appropriate).

《Regular game number setting lottery》
When the result of the mission activation lottery is “winning”, the prescribed game number setting lottery 1132 (see FIG. 7) performs the prescribed game number setting lottery (see FIG. 22). This prescribed game number setting lottery is to determine the prescribed game number as a condition for setting the mission period. In this embodiment, the prescribed game number setting lottery is performed using the prescribed game number setting lottery table shown in FIG. In this prescribed game number setting lottery table, the prescribed game number is selected from any number of times from 1 to 7, and the probability of selecting them is set to 1/7. (You may change the probability setting depending on the number of times.)

《Target game selection lottery》
After the prescribed game number setting lottery is performed, the target game selection lottery is performed by the execution game number counting means 1133 (see FIG. 7) (see FIG. 22). In this target game selection lottery, as a target game to be counted as the number of executed games by the executed game number counting means 1133, only a lost game in which no game player has been established is set, or all games including a lost game are set. In this embodiment, it is performed using the target game selection lottery table shown in FIG. In the target game selection lottery table, a first option that targets only a game that is lost and a second option that targets all games that include a game that is lost are set, and their probabilities are Both are set to 1/2 (the probability of the two options may be changed).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the missed game (game when the spilled eye is stopped and displayed) is not included in the lost game. For this reason, when the first option that selects only the lost game as the target game in the target game selection lottery is selected, the number of executed games is not counted even if the missed game is played.

《Mission for setting mission period》
When the first option is selected as a result of the target game selection lottery, the execution game number counting means 1133 calculates the number of lost games performed after the game when the watermelon is won. When the second option is selected, the number of games played after the game when the watermelon is won is counted as the number of executed games. When the number of executed games counted by the number-of-executed-games count means 1133 reaches the specified number of games determined by the above-mentioned specified game number setting lottery, the specific game period setting means 1134 (see FIG. 7) sets the mission period. A lottery is performed (see FIG. 22).

  This mission period setting lottery determines the length of the mission period to be set (the number of games). In this embodiment, the mission period setting lottery is performed using the mission period setting lottery table shown in FIG. In this mission period setting lottery table, the mission period is selected from a period of any length from 1 game period to 3 game periods, and the probability of selecting them is set to 1/3. (The probability setting may be changed depending on the length of the game period).

《Second notification production》
The period from when the selection of setting the mission period by the specific game period setting selection means 1131 until the mission period is set by the specific game period setting means 1134 (hereinafter referred to as “mission preparation period” as appropriate) The second notification effect by the second notification effect control means 1112 (see FIG. 6) is performed on the display screen 11a of the image display device 11. The second notification effect notifies the player that there is a possibility that the mission period is set, and the mode can be arbitrarily set. For example, character information such as “Mission activated?” Or a specific character may be displayed on the display screen 11a. On the other hand, the second notification effect is performed using the effect lamps 12a, 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, the speakers 15a, 15b, etc. without using the image display device 11, or these are the effects using the image display device 11. You may combine.

  Note that, when the first option that selects only the lost game as the target game is selected in the target game selection lottery and the above-described spill game is performed during the mission preparation period (the spilled eyes are displayed on the active line 29 in a stopped manner) The second notification effect control means 1112 is configured to change the mode of the second notification effect. For example, the player can expect that the mission period is set by displaying character information such as “Is mission activation close?” Or displaying a specific character with a smile on the display screen 11a. On the contrary, on the display screen 11a, character information such as “no mission activation?” Is displayed, or a specific character is displayed with a confused face, and the player is given a mission period. To make them think they might not be set.

<< First notification production >>
When the length of the mission period is determined by the mission period setting lottery, the mission period is set from the next game period (the first game period during the mission). When a bet operation (pressing operation of the 1-BET switch 22 or the MAX-BET switch 23, etc.) by the player is accepted by the operation means 95 during the first game period during this mission (in FIG. 22, the time point indicated by a circle is circled). The first notification effect by the first notification effect control means 1111 (see FIG. 6) is performed on the display screen 11a of the image display device 11. The first notification effect notifies the player that the mission period is set, and the mode can be arbitrarily set. For example, it is possible to display character information such as “Mission activated!” On the display screen 11a or to display a specific character together with another character. .

《Mission production》
After the first notification effect is performed, when the player starts accepting a reel rotation start operation (tilting operation of the start lever 25) by the player in the first game period during the mission (in FIG. 22, the time point is indicated). A mission effect by the specific game period related effect control means 1113 (see FIG. 6) is started on the display screen 11a of the image display device 11). This mission effect is continuously performed during the mission period, and the mode can be arbitrarily set. For example, on the display screen 11a, display character information such as “mission: establish a bell role and acquire the right to navigate” or display a moving image in which a specific character fights against another character. However, other embodiments may be used.

  The aspect of the mission effect may be changed as appropriate according to the progress of the game. For example, when a bell role is established, display character information such as “Mission accomplished soon!” Or display a video of a situation in which a particular character predominates in a fight with another character. Etc. In addition, when the mission period ends without the formation of the bell role, text information such as “mission failure” is displayed, or a video of a situation where a specific character loses in a fight with another character is displayed. However, other modes may be used.

《Navi right grant lottery》
If any of small roles 3 to 14 is established during the mission period (bell formation), the privilege grant determination means 1135 (see FIG. 7) performs a navigation right grant lottery (see FIG. 22). This navigation right granting lottery determines whether or not to give a player the right (navigation right) to perform the push order navigation effect described later. In this embodiment, the navigation right granting lottery shown in FIG. This is performed using the table A (see FIG. 10A) or the navigation right grant lottery table B (see FIG. 10B).

  The navigation right grant lottery table A is used in the first navigation right grant lottery during one mission period, and becomes the second or subsequent navigation right grant lottery during one mission period. It is used in the navigation right grant lottery in the case where the lottery result indicating that the navigation right is granted in the lottery is not obtained. In the navigation right grant lottery table A, the probability of “winning” for granting the right of navigation and the probability of “losing” not giving the right of navigation are both set to ½.

  The navigation right grant lottery table B is the second or subsequent navigation right grant lottery during one mission period, and the lottery result that the navigation right is granted in the previous navigation right grant lottery has already been obtained Used in the navigation right grant lottery. In the navigation right granting lottery table B, the probability of “winning” for granting the right to navigation is set to a lower value (1/4) than the navigation right granting lottery table A. In the case of the present embodiment, there is a possibility that a maximum of three navigation right grant lotteries may be performed during one mission period. In the first and second navigation right granting lotteries, the third navigation right giving lottery may be performed while obtaining a “winning” lottery result. In such a case, the probability of “winning” in the third navigation right grant lottery may be set lower (for example, 1/8) than the second time. Conversely, the probability of “winning” in the second and third navigation right granting lotteries may be set so as to increase sequentially.

  In this embodiment, in a period other than the mission period (a normal gaming period in the non-RT gaming state or the RT1 gaming state and a gaming period in the RT2 gaming state), any one of the small roles 3 to 14 is established. Even when (Bell is established), the navigation right grant lottery is not performed. Further, there is no other opportunity for the navigation right to be granted to the player. For this reason, the probability that the navigation right is granted in the normal game period is 0 (lower than in the mission period). On the other hand, there may be an opportunity to grant the right of navigation during the normal game period, but even in that case, the probability that the right of navigation will be granted during the normal game period is given the right of navigation during the mission period. Is set to be lower than the probability.

<Continuous lottery for mission period>
If it is determined that the navigation right is not granted by the navigation right granting lottery, the navigation right is not granted. In this case, the mission period ends when the period set by the mission period setting lottery has elapsed, and the mission period is automatically continued when the period has not elapsed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the right of navigation is granted by the above-mentioned navigation right grant lottery (when “winning” is selected), the specific game period continuation determining means 1136 (see FIG. 7) continues the mission. A lottery is performed (see FIG. 22). This mission continuation lottery determines whether or not to continue the mission period. In this embodiment, the mission continuation lottery is performed using the mission period continuation lottery table shown in FIG. In this mission period continuation lottery table, the probability of selecting “continue” to continue the mission period and the probability of selecting “non-continue” to end without continuing the mission period are both set to ½. (The probabilities of both may be set differently).

  When “Continue” is selected, the mission period will be continued, but in this embodiment, when the total period of the mission period when continuing is longer than the period set by the mission period setting lottery, The mission period has never been continued. That is, when the mission period continuous lottery is performed in the last game period of the set mission period, even if the lottery result “continue” is selected, the mission period ends without being continued. On the other hand, when “non-continuation” is selected, the mission period ends even if the period set by the mission period setting lottery remains. As another aspect, when “continuation” is selected by the mission continuation lottery, the mission period is continued even when the period set by the mission period setting lottery is exceeded. It is also possible.

  If the mission period is continued, the bell role is again established during the continuation period, and the navigation right grant lottery is performed, and there may be a “winning” again. In this case, since the navigation right has already been granted, the “winning” for the second and subsequent times (in this embodiment, since the mission period of 3 gaming periods at the longest is set, the maximum of 3 “winning” is given. The navigation right will be granted redundantly. Therefore, in this embodiment, one navigation right is stocked for each “win” in the navigation right grant lottery, and the RT2 gaming state is determined by this stock number (hereinafter referred to as “navigation right stock number” as appropriate). The set number of assistable times is changed (details will be described later).

  In addition, when it is determined that the navigation right is granted by the navigation right grant lottery, the navigation right is granted from the next game period at the determined time. Therefore, when the above-described combination determination result relating to the push order-corresponding game combination is obtained by determining the combination after the next game period, a push order navigation effect described later is basically performed. However, even if the navigation right is given, push order navigation effects are not performed during the mission period (push order navigation effects are performed outside the mission period). In other words, if the role determination result relating to the push order corresponding game player is obtained in the game period (during the mission period) immediately after the mission period continuation lottery is determined by the mission period continuous lottery, the navigation right has already been granted. However, push order navigation effects are not performed. On the other hand, if the navigation right is not granted, the push order navigation effect is not performed even if the combination determination result relating to the push order corresponding game player is obtained regardless of whether or not the mission period is in effect.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a role determination result relating to a push order-compatible game role is obtained outside the mission period, if a navigation right is granted, a push order navigation effect is performed, and a navigation right is granted. If not, the push order navigation effect is not performed (the execution mode of the push order navigation effect differs depending on whether or not the navigation right is given). On the other hand, if a combination determination result relating to a push order-compatible gamer is obtained during the mission period, the push order navigation effect is not performed regardless of whether or not the navigation right is granted (navi right granting) The execution mode of the push order navigation effect is the same regardless of the presence or absence). Therefore, after the above navigation right grant lottery is performed, during the mission period, the result of determining the role related to the push order corresponding game player is obtained, and even if the push order navigation effect is not performed at that time, the navigation right actually The player is unaware of whether or not it is granted. For this reason, during the mission period when the bell combination is established, it is possible to maintain the player's sense of expectation for granting navigation rights.

《Lecture to determine the post-mission production》
When it is determined that the mission period is not continued by the mission period continuous lottery, the post-mission effect determination lottery is performed by the specific game period related effect control means 1113 (see FIG. 6) (see FIG. 22). This post-mission effect determination lottery is to determine an effect to be executed in the next game period (the first game period after the mission) when the non-continuation of the mission period is determined. In this embodiment, FIG. The post-mission effect lottery table shown is used. In the post mission mission lottery table, “V1” indicating that the mission continuation effect is performed in the first game period after the mission and “V2” indicating that the mission end effect is performed in the first game period after the mission. One of the selection items is selected, and the probability that “V1” is selected and the probability that “V2” is selected are both halved (so that both probabilities are different). May be set).

<Continuation of mission>
When “V1” is selected in the post-mission period effect determination lottery, the mission continuation effect by the specific game period-related effect control means 1113 (see FIG. 6) is displayed in the image display device 11 in the first game period after the mission. On the display screen 11a. This mission continuation effect is performed so that the mission period that has actually ended is continued, and the mode can be arbitrarily set. For example, displaying character information such as “achieve more missions” on the display screen 11a, or displaying a moving image in which a specific character fights against another character again, etc. The thing of the aspect of may be sufficient.

《Mission end production》
When “V2” is selected in the post-mission period effect determination lottery, the mission end effect by the specific game period-related effect control means 1113 (see FIG. 6) in the first game period after the mission is displayed on the image display device 11. On the display screen 11a. This mission end effect indicates that the mission period has ended, and the mode can be arbitrarily set. For example, it is possible to display character information such as “Mission End” on the display screen 11a, or to display a movie with a setting in which the fight between a specific character and another character has ended. The embodiment may be used.

《Mission achievement production》
When the above-mentioned mission continuation effect or mission end effect is performed in the first game period after the mission, the mission achievement effect by the specific game period-related effect control means 1113 (see FIG. 6) in the second game period after the next mission. Is performed on the display screen 11 a of the image display device 11. This mission achievement effect indicates that the navigation right has already been given, and the mode can be arbitrarily set. For example, character information such as “Mission accomplished!” May be displayed on the display screen 11a, or a video with a setting that a specific character may have won in a fight between the specific character and another character may be displayed. However, other embodiments may be used. Further, the contents may be changed between the mission achievement effect after the mission continuation effect is performed and the mission achievement effect after the mission end effect is performed.

  In the first post-mission game period in which the above-described mission continuation effect or mission end effect is performed, if the combination determination result relating to the above-described push order-compatible game actor is obtained, the push order navigation effect described later is performed. It will be. By performing this push order navigation effect, the player knows that the navigation right has been granted. In this case, the mission achievement effect in the second game period after the mission may not be performed.

<Push order navigation production>
In the present embodiment, in the state where the navigation right is granted to the player, during the non-RT gaming state (non-RT non-carrying gaming period or non-RT carrying-over gaming period), during the RT1 gaming state (RT1 non-carrying gaming period) In addition, by determining the role in the RT1 carry-over gaming period) or in the RT2 gaming state (RT2 non-carry-over gaming period or RT2 carry-over gaming period), the role determination result relating to the above-described push order-corresponding gaming role (see FIGS. 11 to 16) When the winning combination determination result A6 to A17 or the winning combination determination result of any of the winning combination determination results A19 to A26 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is obtained, the assist effect control means 1114 (see FIG. 6) pushes The forward navigation effect is executed by the image displayed on the display screen 11a of the image display device 11 and the sound output from the speakers 15a and 15b.

  This push order navigation effect is for informing the player of the correct push order corresponding to the combination determination result when the combination determination result relating to the above described combination of push order is obtained. Can be set to For example, when a combination determination result (see FIGS. 18 to 20) in which the correct answer pressing order is “medium first” is obtained, a number indicating the correct answer pressing order is displayed on the display screen 11a of the image display device 11. They are displayed side by side from the left in the order of “2, 1, 3” (may be the order of “3, 1, 2”) (see FIG. 30), or character information such as “medium first” is displayed on the display screen 11a. Display.

  In addition, when displaying the numbers indicating the correct answer pressing order, “Naka” indicates the position of the stop switch 26b to be operated first, and “hidari” indicates the position of the stop switch 26a to be operated second. As an example, it is also possible to output the voice “Migi” indicating the position of the stop switch 26c to be operated thirdly from the speakers 15a and 15b in this order so as to match the operation timing of each stop switch. Although it is mentioned (refer FIG. 30), it does not matter as another aspect. Even when a combination determination result with the correct answer pressing order “left first” is obtained, or when a combination determination result with the correct answer pressing order “right first” (see FIGS. 18 and 20) is obtained. Although it is possible to adopt a mode according to the case where the correct answer pressing order is “medium first”, other modes may be used.

  Further, when a combination determination result (see FIG. 19) in which the correct pressing order is “left → middle → right” is obtained, an arithmetic number indicating the correct pressing order is displayed on the display screen 11 a of the image display device 11. Are displayed in the order of “1, 2, 3” from the left side, or character information such as “left → middle → right” is displayed on the display screen 11a. However, other modes may be used. Absent. Also, a role determination result in which the correct pressing order is “left → right → middle”, a role determination result “right → middle → left”, or a role determination result “right → left → middle” (see FIG. 19). Is obtained, it is possible to adopt an aspect according to the case where the correct answer pressing order is “left → middle → right”, but other aspects may be adopted.

  By performing such push order navigation effects, the player can easily establish a game player corresponding to the correct push order by operating the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c according to the order indicated by the push order navigation effects. Can do. In particular, in the non-RT gaming state, when the above-mentioned combination determination result (see FIG. 19) related to the “5-choice push order replay” is obtained, the player corresponds to the correct push order by following the push order navigation effect. It is possible to easily establish a game player (any one of the re-game players 1 to 3). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the re-game player 4 from being established due to an incorrect push order and the transition from the non-RT game state to the RT1 game state.

  Similarly, in the non-RT gaming state, when the above-described combination determination result (see FIG. 20) related to the “three-choice push order replay” is obtained, by following the push order navigation effects, the player Since the corresponding game combination (any one of the re-play game combination 5 and the re-play game combination 8) can be established with certainty, it is possible to easily shift from the non-RT game state to the RT2 game state. In addition, after the transition to the RT2 gaming state, if the winning combination determination result (see FIG. 18) related to the above “3 choice push order bell” is obtained, the player can correct the answer by following the push order navigation effect. A game combination (any one of the small combination 6 to the small combination 13) corresponding to the pressing order can be easily established. Therefore, it is confirmed that any of the specific spills A to C (see FIG. 21) is aligned on the active line 29 due to an incorrect answer, and as a result, the RT2 gaming state is shifted to the non-RT gaming state. It can be avoided.

<Setting the number of assists allowed>
In the present embodiment, in the state where the right of navigation is granted to the player, when the transition is made from the non-RT gaming state to the RT2 gaming state, the assistable number of times is set and managed by the assist number control means 112 (see FIG. 4). It is like that. The assistable number of times is the number of times that the push order navigation effect can be performed in the RT2 gaming state, and is set as follows in the present embodiment. That is, a numerical value obtained by multiplying the number of navigation rights stocked during the mission period (the number of navigation right stocks) by 50 (may be another numerical value) is set as the initial value of the assistable number of times (for example, If the number of navigation rights stock is 2, it will be 100). In addition, the assistable number of times set with the initial value is managed so as to decrease by one each time a game is performed, regardless of whether or not the push order navigation effect is performed in the RT2 gaming state. Note that the navigation right granted to the player is a condition for transition from the RT2 gaming state to another gaming state (BB gaming state or non-RT gaming state) (see FIG. 8). When the condition R or the condition T) shown is satisfied and the RT2 gaming state ends, the condition disappears.

  Hereinafter, main control processing in the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 31 to 43. In the following, first, the basic control processing performed by the main control unit 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 36, and then various effects performed by the sub control unit 110 with reference to FIGS. Among the control processes, in particular, a mission setting process performed during the non-RT gaming state or the RT1 gaming state and an assist effect control process performed during the RT2 gaming state will be described. Note that during the basic control process by the main control means 100, various information relating to the game (for example, information that the start lever 25 and stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c have been operated, combination lottery results, and information on whether or not a winning combination has been established) , Information in which the game state is set, etc.) is transmitted to the sub-control means 110 at an appropriate timing, but the description of the timing etc. is omitted except for the main ones.

<Basic control processing>
In the basic control process performed by the main control unit 100, as shown in FIG. 31, after the unused storage area in the RAM or the like is initialized (step S1), the combination determination result information update process is performed (step S2). ). In this combination determination result information update process, as shown in FIG. 32, first, the information in the small combination determination information storage area 1022 of the combination determination information storage means 102 is cleared (erased) (step S21). Here, clearing the information in the small role determination information storage area 1022 means that the winning flag information is not stored in the small role determination information storage area 1022 (the winning flag is turned OFF). . If any winning flag information is stored in the small role determination information storage area 1022 by this information clearing process (if any winning flag is ON), the winning flag information is cleared (the winning flag is OFF). If the winning flag information is not stored (if any winning flag is OFF), the state is continued. The same applies to the case of clearing the information in the special role determination information storage area 1021 below.

  Following the process of step S21, it is determined whether or not the BB gaming state is set. If the BB gaming state is set, information in the special combination determination information storage area 1021 (the winning flag of the first BB combination) Information or the winning flag information of the second BB combination) is cleared (step S23), and the process proceeds to step S24. On the other hand, if the BB gaming state is not set, the information in the special combination determination information storage area 1021 is not cleared and the process proceeds to step S24. In step S24, the update information of the combination determination result is transmitted to the sub-control unit (sub) 110, the combination determination result information update process is terminated, and the process returns.

《Game start acceptance process》
After the combination determination result information update process, as shown in FIG. 31, a game start acceptance process is performed (step S3). In this game start acceptance process, as shown in FIG. 33, it is first determined whether or not the re-gaming state is set (step S31). If the re-gaming state is not set, a bet by the player is set. It waits in that state until the operation means 95 accepts the operation (step S32). If accepted, bet acceptance information indicating that a bet operation has been accepted is transmitted to the sub-control means (sub) 110 (step S33). . Next, whether or not the number of games bet has reached a specified number (in this embodiment, three in the non-RT gaming state, in the RT1 gaming state and in the RT2 gaming state, two in the BB gaming state) (Step S34), if the prescribed number has not been reached, the process returns to step S32. If the prescribed number has been reached, the game start acceptance process is terminated and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the re-gaming state is set in the determination in step S31, automatic bet processing (without reducing the number of game medals held by the player, without accepting a bet operation by the player) (A process for creating a state in which the same number of game medals as bets in the game of bet are betted) is completed, and the game start acceptance process is terminated and the process returns. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the game period is shifted to a new game period when a bet operation by the player is accepted or when an automatic bet process is performed.

《Role decision processing》
After the game start acceptance process, as shown in FIG. 31, the process waits until the start lever 25 is operated (step S4). When the start lever 25 is operated, a combination determination process is performed (step S4). S5). In this combination determination process, as shown in FIG. 34, first, one random number is acquired from the random number sequence generated by the random number generator 66 by the sampling circuit 67 (step S51), and the setting of the gaming state is confirmed. (Step S52). In the confirmation of the gaming state here, it is confirmed which of the non-RT gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the BB gaming state is set.

  When the non-RT gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, or the RT2 gaming state is set, the special combination determination information storage area 1021 stores the winning flag information of the first BB combination or the winning flag information of the second BB combination. Also check whether or not At this time, the winning flag information of the first BB combination or the winning flag information of the second BB combination is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021. The game period is the winning flag information of the first BB combination or the second BB. The winning flag information of the combination indicates that it is a carry-over game period (a carry-over game period during non-RT, a carry-over game period during RT1, or a carry-over game period during RT2).

  After confirming the setting of the gaming state, the lottery table corresponding to the setting of the gaming state is referred to (step S53), and the winning combination determination result based on the referenced lottery table is derived (step S54). Specifically, when the game state is set to the BB game state, the combination determination result A27 is derived every time the game is performed with reference to the lottery table for the BB game period shown in FIG. When the non-RT gaming state is set and the winning flag information is not stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, refer to the lottery table for the non-RT non-carry-over gaming period shown in FIG. A combination determination result of any one of A1 to A26 and Z1 is derived. When the non-RT gaming state is set and the winning flag information is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, the non-RT carry-over gaming period lottery table shown in FIG. ~ A26, Z1-Z3 any combination determination result is derived.

  Similarly, when the RT1 gaming state is set and the winning combination flag information is not stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, refer to the lottery table of the non-carry-over gaming period during RT1 shown in FIG. , A1 to A18, Z1 any combination determination result is derived. When the RT1 gaming state is set and the winning flag information is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, the RT1 carry-over gaming period lottery table shown in FIG. , Z1 to Z3 are derived. Further, when the RT2 gaming state is set and the winning flag information is not stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, refer to the lottery table for the non-carry-over gaming period during RT2 shown in FIG. A combination determination result of any one of A1 to A18 and Z1 is derived. When the RT2 gaming state is set and the winning flag information is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, refer to the lottery table for the carry-over gaming period during RT2 shown in FIG. , Z1 to Z3 are derived.

  After deriving the winning combination determination result, information of the derived winning determination result (winning flag information) is stored in each storage area of the winning determination information storage means 102 (step S55), and the stored winning flag information is sub-controlled. It is transmitted to the means (sub) (step S56), the combination determining process is terminated and the process returns.

<Reel stop control setting>
After the combination determining process, the reel stop control is set as shown in FIG. 31 (step S6). This reel stop control is set based on the winning combination determination result, and determines which symbol is to be stopped and displayed at which position according to the timing of the reel stopping operation in accordance with the winning combination determination result. For example, when the combination determination result A18 in which the re-playing combination 1 to the re-playing combination 3 is determined as the duplicate winning combination is obtained, the re-playing combination 1 The reel stop control for stopping and displaying any of the corresponding symbols (see FIG. 10) of the re-game player 3 is set. In addition, when the first BB combination or the second BB combination and the small combination are determined within the same game period, the small combination priority reel that prioritizes the establishment of the small combination over the first BB combination or the second BB combination. Stop control is set.

  If the reel stop control is given priority for a small combination, the timing of the reel stop operation is the timing at which the corresponding symbol of the small combination can be stopped and displayed on the active line 29. The stop position of the reel is controlled so that the symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line 29. On the other hand, although it was not the timing at which the corresponding symbol of the small role can be stopped and displayed on the active line 29, the corresponding symbol of the first BB role or the second BB role determined together with the small role is stopped and displayed on the active line. If it is possible to do so, the stop position of the reel is controlled so that the corresponding symbol of the first BB combination or the second BB combination is displayed on the active line 29 in a stopped manner.

  In addition, winning flag information (for example, a combination determination result A4) of a combination determination result in which a small combination (for example, a small combination 2) that is not 100% drawable in the small combination determination information storage area 1022 is a winning combination. Only the winning flag information) is stored, and no information is stored in the special combination determination information storage area 1021, the corresponding symbol of the small combination is displayed as an effective line depending on the timing of the reel stop operation. The reel stop control is set so that the stop symbol is displayed on the line 29, and the corresponding symbol of the small role is not displayed on the active line 29 when it is not possible.

  Specifically, for example, when the timing of the first reel stop operation (first reel stop operation) is a timing at which the corresponding symbol of the small role can be stopped and displayed on the effective line 29, In the first reel, the corresponding symbol of the small role is stopped and displayed on the effective line 29. However, the timing of the next reel stop operation (second reel stop operation) is set so that the corresponding symbol of the small role is on the effective line 29. If it is not the timing when the stop display is possible, the reel stop control is set so that the corresponding symbol of the small role is not stopped and displayed on the active line 29 in the next reel.

  Further, in this case, the stop position of the last reel is determined by the timing of the last reel stop operation (third reel stop operation), but in the state where the last reel is stopped (all reels stop state) The reel stop control is set so that the corresponding symbols of the game players are not aligned on the active line. In the case where the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 is a winning combination, if the corresponding symbol cannot be aligned on the effective line 29, a predetermined spilled line (not shown) is finally aligned on the effective line 29. Reel stop control is set.

  When any combination determination result of A6 to A17 and A19 to A26 in which the game combination corresponding to the pressing order is determined as the winning combination is obtained, the correct pressing order corresponding to the combination determination result (FIGS. 18 to 20) The reel stop control corresponding to the pressing order is set to change the reel stop control depending on whether or not the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated in the order of reference). This reel stop control corresponding to the pressing order is performed when the stop switches 26a, 26b, and 26c are operated in the correct pressing order corresponding to the winning combination determination result. When the reel stop control is performed and the operation is not performed in the correct pressing order, the reel stop control at the time of incorrect pressing order that is not necessarily advantageous to the player is set. For example, when “push order B” of the above-mentioned “5 selection push order replay” is set, any of the corresponding symbols of the replaying role 1 to the replaying role 3 is valid in the reel stop control at the correct pushing order. The reel is controlled so as to be stopped and displayed on the line 29. In the reel stop control at the time when the pressing order is incorrect, the reel is controlled so that the corresponding symbol of the replaying combination 4 is stopped and displayed on the active line 29.

  After the reel stop control is set, as shown in FIG. 31, each reel 3a, 3b, 3c is started to rotate (step S7) until all reels 3a, 3b, 3c rotate at a predetermined constant speed. In this state (step S8), when the rotation speed is constant, the reel stop control set in step S6 is executed (step S9).

<Execution of reel stop control>
The execution of this reel stop control will be described with reference to FIG. 35, particularly in the case where the aforementioned reel stop control corresponding to the pressing order is set in step S6. In the reel stop control process corresponding to the pressing order, the process waits in that state until the first reel stop operation (first reel stop operation) is accepted (step S91). If accepted, the first reel stop operation is performed. It is determined whether or not the order (first push order) is the correct order (step S92). Here, when it is determined that the answer is correct, the reel stop control at the correct answer in the pressing order is performed for the reel corresponding to the first reel stop operation (step S93), and the process proceeds to step S97. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S92 that the answer is not correct, reel stop control is performed when the pressing order is incorrect for the reel corresponding to the first reel stop operation (step S95), and the process proceeds to step S95.

  In this step S95, it waits in that state until the second reel stop operation (second reel stop operation) is accepted, and if accepted, the order of the second reel stop operation (second push order) and It is determined whether or not the first pressing order is correct (step S96). Here, when it is determined that the answer is correct, the reel stop control at the correct answer in the pressing order is performed for the reel corresponding to the second reel stop operation (step S97), and the process proceeds to step S99. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S96 that the answer is not correct, reel stop control is performed when the pressing order is incorrect for the reel corresponding to the second reel stop operation (step S98), and the process proceeds to step S99.

  In this step S99, it waits in that state until the third reel stop operation (third reel stop operation) is accepted, and when accepted, the order of the third reel stop operation (third push order) and It is determined whether or not the first push order and the second push order are all correct (step S100). If it is determined that the answer is correct, the reel stop control at the correct answer in the pressing order is performed for the reel corresponding to the third reel stop operation (step S101), and the reel control corresponding to the pressing order is ended and the process returns. . On the other hand, if it is determined in step S100 that the answer is not correct, reel stop control at the time of incorrect pressing order for the reel corresponding to the third reel stop operation is performed (step S102), and the reel stop control corresponding to the pressing order is performed. End processing and return.

《Game state setting process》
After the reel stop control is executed, as shown in FIG. 31, a stop display symbol is recognized (step S10), and it is determined whether or not a game medal has been paid out (whether a small combination has been established) (step S11). ). If there is a payout, the game medal is paid out in accordance with the established small role (step S12), and then the process proceeds to a game state setting process (step S13). The process proceeds to the game state setting process (step S13) without executing the process.

  In the gaming state setting process, as shown in FIG. 36, first, the current setting of the gaming state is confirmed (step S131). In the confirmation of the gaming state here, it is confirmed whether the non-RT gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the BB gaming state is set, and whether it is set to the re-gaming state. Also confirm whether or not.

  After confirming the current game state setting, it is determined whether or not the game state setting needs to be changed (step S132). In the necessity determination of the game state setting change here, when the current setting is the non-RT gaming state, it is determined whether or not the above-described condition P, Q or R is satisfied, and the current setting is the RT1 gaming state. In this case, it is determined whether or not the above-described condition R or S is satisfied. If the current setting is RT2 gaming state, it is determined whether or not the above condition R or T is satisfied. If the current setting is BB gaming state, is the above condition R or U satisfied? Determine whether or not. If any condition is satisfied, it is determined that the game state setting needs to be changed. If any condition is satisfied, it is determined that the game state setting does not need to be changed.

  In addition to the determination of the necessity to change the game state setting of non-RT, RT1, RT2, and BB, the necessity determination of the re-gaming state setting change is performed. That is, when the re-gaming state is currently set, the re-gaming state setting is changed when any one of the re-gaming role 1 to the re-gaming role 8 is established in the recognition of the stop display symbol in step S10. It is determined that there is no need to (cancel), and when none of the re-game players 1 to 8 is established, it is determined that it is necessary to change (cancel) the setting of the re-game state. On the other hand, if the re-gaming state is not currently set, the re-gaming state is set when any one of the re-gaming role 1 to the re-gaming role 8 is established in the recognition of the stop display symbol in step S10. When it is determined that it is necessary to change (set), and none of the re-game players 1 to 8 is established, it is determined that it is not necessary to change (set) the setting of the re-game state.

  When it is determined that it is necessary to change any of the non-RT, RT1, RT2, and BB game state settings and the re-gaming state setting in the determination of the gaming state setting change, the gaming state setting is changed. Change (step S133) and proceed to step S135. If it is determined that there is no need to change any gaming state setting, the current gaming state setting is maintained (step S134) and the process proceeds to step S135. . In step S135, the game state setting change information is transmitted to the sub-control means (sub) 110, the game state setting process is terminated, and the process returns.

<Mission setting process>
Next, the mission setting process executed by the sub control unit 110 will be described. This mission setting process is started when the player is in the non-RT gaming state or the RT1 gaming state and the right to navigate is not granted. As shown in FIG. T100), mission period processing (step T200), and mission period post-processing (step T300) are performed in this order. In FIG. 38 to FIG. 42, there is a place where “mission” is abbreviated as “MS”.

《Mission period pretreatment》
In the mission period pre-processing, as shown in FIG. 38, first, initial setting is performed (step T101). In this initial setting, various counters (counters C _{1 to} C ₃ described later) set in the mission setting process are reset to 0, and various flags (transmission continuation flag and effect A described later) set in the mission setting process are also reset. Flag, effect B flag, effect C flag) is reset to OFF.

  After this initial setting, the system waits until the winning decision result (winning decision result A4) of the watermelon winning (winning of the small role 2) is obtained. (Refer to step T103). In this mission activation lottery, when “losing” that does not set a mission period is selected, the process returns to the above-described step T102 where the result of determining the winning combination of the watermelon is waited. On the other hand, when “win” for setting the mission period is selected, the above-mentioned prescribed number setting lottery (see FIG. 24) is performed (step T105), and the above-mentioned regulation as a condition for setting the mission period is performed. Determine the number of games.

Then, when the prescribed number set value of the specified number of games that have been determined in the lottery (either 1-7) is set to the counter C ₁ (step T106. For example, the determined specified number of games 5 times C Set 5 to ₁ ). Then, the second notification effect described above is started (step T107), the player is notified that the mission period may be set, and the target game selection lottery (see FIG. 25) is performed. (Step T108), it is selected and determined whether the target game is only a lost game (first option) or all games including a lost game (second option). Thereafter, for each game period, the processing along any one of the routes from Step T109 to Step T116 described below is performed for the number of times of the prescribed game determined in the above-mentioned prescribed number of times setting lottery.

In step T109, it is determined whether or not the target game selected and determined in the target game selection lottery is only a lose game. If the target game is only a lost game, the process proceeds to step T110 and waits in that state until the symbol is stopped and displayed on each reel 3a, 3b, 3c. It is determined whether or not the symbol is a lost symbol (step T111). Here, if the stop display symbols are losing pattern is the value of the counter _{C 1} 1 single subtrahend (step T112), the process proceeds to step T116. If the stop display symbol is not a losing symbol, it is determined whether or not the stop display symbol is a spilled eye (step T113), and if it is a spilled eye, the above-described second notification effect mode is changed. Then (step T114), the process proceeds to step T116. If it is not a spill, the process proceeds to step T116 without performing the process of step T114.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step T109 that the target game is not only a lost game (the target game is all games), the process proceeds to step T115, and the symbols are stopped and displayed on the reels 3a, 3b, and 3c. until waits in this state, when the displayed stop, regardless of the stop display symbols, subtrahend to one value of the counter C ₁ (step T112), the process proceeds to step T116.

At step T116, value of the counter C ₁ is equal to or 0, if not 0, the next game period, along any of the routes from the above step T109 to step T115 Repeat the process. On the other hand, when the value of the counter C ₁ is 0, the above-described mission period setting lottery (see FIG. 26) is performed (step T117), and the length of the mission period (game period) is determined.

Then, set the value of the game period determined in the mission period setting lottery (or 1-3) in the counter C ₂ (step T118. For example, was determined within C ₂ if 3 game period 3 is set). Then, the second notification effect described above is terminated (step T119), the mission period pretreatment is terminated, and the process returns.

《Process during mission period》
In the process during the mission period, as shown in FIG. 39, first, the first game period in the mission period (the first game period in the mission period) is changed to the re-gaming state (re-players 1 to 4 (re-games in the previous game period) When any of the game combinations 5 to 8 is established, the process shifts to RT2, and therefore, it is determined whether or not any of the game combinations 5 to 8 is established (step T201). If the player is not in the re-playing state, the player waits in that state until a betting operation (pressing operation of the 1-BET switch 22 or the MAX-BET switch 23) by the player is received by the operating means 95 (step T202). If it is, the first notification effect described above is executed (step T203), the player is notified that the mission period has been set, and the process proceeds to step T204.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T201 that the game is in the replaying state, the process proceeds to step T204 without performing the processes in steps T202 and T203. In this step T204, it waits in that state until the operation of the start lever 25 is received by the operating means 95. If it is received, the mission effect described above is started (step T205), and the push order navigation effect described below is performed. The process proceeds to execution determination processing (step T206).

<< Push order navigation effect execution determination process >>
In this push order navigation effect execution determination process, as shown in FIG. 40, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned push order-compatible game actor has been won in the combination determination (step T261). It is determined whether or not the above-mentioned navigation right stock number is 1 or more (step T262). Here, when it is determined that the number of navigation right stocks is 1 or more, it is determined whether or not it is in the mission period (step T263). The forward navigation effect is executed (step T264), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T261 that the push order-compatible gamer is not won, and if it is determined in step T262 that the number of navigation right stocks is not 1 or more, the push order navigation effect is not performed. Return. Further, even if it is determined in step T261 that the push-order-compatible game player is elected and the navigation right stock number is determined to be 1 or more in step T262, the mission period is in step T263. When it determines, it returns without performing the above-mentioned push order navigation effect. After the return, as shown in FIG. 39, the process proceeds to the next navigation right setting process (step T207).

《Navigation right setting process》
In this navigation right setting process, as shown in FIG. 41, it is determined whether or not a bell is established (any of small roles 3 to 14 is established) (step T271). Determines whether the mission continuation flag (set to ON in step T279 described later) is ON (step T272). If it is determined that the mission continuation flag is not ON, the above-mentioned navigation right grant lottery is performed using the above-mentioned navigation right grant lottery table A (see FIG. 27A) (step T273). If it is determined that the continuation flag is ON, the navigation right grant lottery is performed using the navigation right grant lottery table B (see FIG. 27B) (step T274).

  Next, in the navigation right grant lottery, it is determined whether or not “win” for granting navigation right has been selected (step T275). If it is determined that “win” has been selected, 1 is added (step T276), and the above-mentioned mission period continuous lottery (see FIG. 28) is performed (step T277). Next, in this mission period continuation lottery, it is determined whether or not it is determined to continue the mission period (step T278). If it is determined that it is determined to continue, the mission continuation flag is turned ON ( Step T279) and return.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T271 that the bell is not established, and if it is determined in step T275 that “win” is not selected, the process proceeds to step T270, where the mission continuation flag is ON. Determine whether or not. If it is determined that the mission continuation flag is not ON, the process returns. If it is determined that the mission continuation flag is ON, the process jumps to step T210 shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step T278 that it is not determined to continue the mission period, the process proceeds to step T281, where the post-mission effect lottery (see FIG. 29) is performed. Next, in this post-mission effect lottery, it is determined whether or not “V1” indicating that the above-described mission continuation effect (hereinafter referred to as “effect A”) is performed is selected (step T282). When it is determined that “V1” is selected, the effect A flag corresponding to the above-described mission continuation effect (effect A) is turned ON (step T283), and when it is determined that “V1” is not selected. The effect B flag corresponding to the above-described mission end effect (hereinafter referred to as “effect B” as appropriate) is turned ON (step T284), and the process jumps to step T212 shown in FIG.

If it returns in the navigation right setting process, at step T208 of FIG. 39, the process proceeds to step T209 and decrement one value of the counter C _2, whether value of the counter C ₂ is zero judge. Here, when the value of the counter _{C 2} is determined not to be 0 again performs the process of step T206～T208. On the other hand, the process proceeds to step T210 when the value of the counter C ₂ is determined to be 0, determines whether or not achieve mission (whether navigation right stock number becomes 1 or more).

If it is determined that the mission has been achieved, the effect C flag corresponding to the above-described mission achievement effect (hereinafter referred to as “effect C” as appropriate) is turned ON (step T211), and the process proceeds to step T212. If it is determined that the mission has not been achieved, the process proceeds to step T212 without performing the process in step T211. In step T212, set a number to a second counter C ₃ for counting the number of game period mission period post-processing will be described next. Then, the above-described mission effect is finished (step T213), the treatment is finished during the mission period, and the process returns.

《Mission after mission period》
The mission period post-processing, as shown in FIG. 42, and waits in that state until the operation of the star lever 25 is accepted by the operation unit 95 (step T301), if accepted, the numerical value of the counter C ₃ is 2 is determined (step T302). Here, when it is determined that the value of the counter C ₃ is 2 (determined in this way in the first post-mission first game period), it is determined whether or not the effect A flag is ON. (Step T303). If it is determined that the effect A flag is ON, the above-described mission continuation effect (effect A) is executed (step T304), and the mission period that has actually ended is continued. Produce and go to step T311.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T303 that the effect A flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the effect B flag is ON (step T305). If it is determined that the effect B flag is ON, the above-described mission end effect (effect B) is executed (step T306), the player is informed that the mission period has ended, and the process proceeds to step T311.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T305 that the effect B flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the effect C flag is ON (step T307). If it is determined that the effect C flag is ON, the above-described mission achievement effect (effect C) is executed (step T308), the player is informed that the mission has been achieved, and the process proceeds to step T311.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step T307 that the effect C flag is not ON (this determination is made when the mission period is shifted to post mission period processing without achieving the mission in the above-described mission period processing). After the mission period post-processing is completed, the process returns.

In step T311, the push order navigation effect execution determination process (see FIG. 40) described above is performed. Then, the value of the counter C ₃ is decremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step T312 to determine whether or not the value of the counter C ₃ is 0. Here, when the value of the counter C ₃ is determined not to be 0, the process returns to step T301. On the other hand, if the value of the counter C ₃ is determined to be 0, and then returns completion mission period post-treatment.

The numerical values of the counter C ₃ in step T301 is not the case where it is determined at 2 (in the second game period after the above-mentioned mission has become value of the counter C ₃ is a 1, this is determined as) Is determined whether the effect A flag or the effect B flag is ON (step T309). If it is determined that the effect A flag or the effect B flag is ON, the above mission achievement effect is executed (step T310), Proceed to step T311. On the other hand, when it is determined in step T309 that neither the effect A flag nor the effect B flag is ON (when the transition to the second post-mission game period is made with the effect C flag turned ON, Is determined), the process proceeds to step T311 without performing the process in step T310.

  Although not shown in FIGS. 38 to 42, the sub-control unit 110 confirms the game state setting state for each game period based on the game state setting change information transmitted from the main control unit 100. doing. Then, when the above-described mission setting process is being executed, if the transition is made to the RT2 gaming state or the BB gaming state, the mission setting process is terminated even if it is in the middle stage, and even if the non-RT gaming state is returned again The mission setting process is not resumed from the middle stage.

<Assist effect control processing>
Next, the assist effect control process executed by the sub control unit 110 will be described. This assist effect control process is started when a transition is made from the non-RT gaming state to the RT2 gaming state in a state where the navigation right has been granted. First, as shown in FIG. 43, initial setting is performed. (Step U1). In this initial setting, a process of resetting the assistable number of times set in the assist effect control process to 0 is performed.

  After this initial setting, the assistable number of times is set (step U2). As described above, in this embodiment, a numerical value obtained by multiplying the number of navigation right stocks by 50 (for example, 100 when the number of navigation right stocks is 2) is set as the initial value of the assistable number of times. Next, it waits in that state until it receives the update information of the combination determination result (step U3), and when the update information of the combination determination result is received, the winning flag information of any combination determination result A6 to A17 is It is determined whether it is present (winning flag ON) or absent (winning flag OFF) (step U4). If it is determined that any winning flag of the combination determination results A6 to A17 is ON, the above-described push order navigation effect is executed (step U5), and the process proceeds to step U6. On the other hand, if it is determined that any winning flag of the combination determination results A6 to A17 is OFF, the process proceeds to step U6 without performing the push order navigation effect.

  In this step U6, the assistable number of times is decreased by 1, and it is then determined whether or not the assistable number of times is 0 (step U7). If it is determined that the assistable number of times is not 0, the system waits in that state until the game state setting information is received (step U8). It is determined whether or not the RT gaming state or the BB gaming state is set (step U9).

  If it is determined that the game state is not set to another game state, the process returns to step U3. If the game state is set to another game state, the process proceeds to step U10. On the other hand, if it is determined in step U7 that the assistable number of times is 0, the process proceeds to step U10 without performing the processes in steps U8 and U9. In this step U10, the navigation right stock number is reset to 0 to return to the state where the navigation right is not granted, and the assist effect control process is terminated.

<Change of mode>
In the above-described mission period pre-processing, a period until a game is performed for the specified number of games after the mission activation lottery is determined by watermelon winning and the mission period is set (hereinafter referred to as “MS preparation period” as appropriate). It is also possible to win the watermelon again (hereinafter referred to as “watermelon re-winning during MS preparation” as appropriate). In such a case, in the above-described embodiment, the mission activation lottery is not performed again, but the mission activation lottery may be performed again by watermelon re-winning during MS preparation.

  In this case, when “winning” for setting the mission period is selected again by the mission launch lottery again, the following processing is performed. For example, if the right to navigate is not granted during the first mission period (if the mission has not been completed), the right to navigate is granted during the first mission period after the end of the first mission period (mission In the case of achievement), when transitioning to the RT2 gaming state and returning to the non-RT gaming state again, the mission period is set again based on the “win” of the respective mission activation lottery. .

  In addition, during the above-described MS preparation period, a transition to the RT2 gaming state or the BB gaming state may occur. In such a case, in the above embodiment, the mission setting process is ended in the middle stage of the MS preparation period, and the mission setting process is resumed from the middle stage of the MS preparation period when returning to the non-RT gaming state. It will never be done. On the other hand, when the mission setting process is resumed from the middle stage of the MS preparation period, or when the BB gaming state returns to the non-RT gaming state, the mission period may be set immediately.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the betting operation by the player is accepted by the operation means 95 in the first game period during the above-described mission period, the above-described first notification effect is performed. Therefore, when the first game period is in the re-playing state during the mission period and therefore automatic bet processing is performed (which may occur when the target game is all games by the above-mentioned target game lottery), the first The notification effect is not performed. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 110 may confirm that the automatic betting process has been performed, and the first notification effect may be performed even when the automatic betting process is performed. In such a case, the first notification effect may be changed depending on whether a bet operation is performed by the player or an automatic bet process is performed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the state where the right to navigate is not given, the push order navigation effect is not performed even if the game player corresponding to the push order is won. On the other hand, when a game player corresponding to the push order is elected in a state where the navigation right is not granted, a mode different from the state where the navigation right is granted (for example, the above-described five-choice push order replay is set) In such a case, the push order navigation effect may be performed in such a manner that one of the four push orders as the incorrect answer push order is notified as the wrong answer push order. In that case, if the game player who corresponds to the push order is elected during the mission period, even if the navigation right is already granted, it is the same mode as that performed in the state where the navigation right is not granted. The push order navigation effect is set to be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the mission continuation effect or the mission end effect is performed in the first game period after the mission, and the mission achievement effect is performed in the subsequent second game period after the mission. The game period during which these effects are performed can be arbitrarily set. For example, after the mission period is over, after several games (for example, after 2 games), the mission continuation effect or the mission end effect is performed, and after several games (for example, after 3 games), the mission achievement effect is performed. Good.

  In addition to the effects such as the push order navigation effects described above, various effects may be performed by the sub-control means 110. For example, when a special combination such as the first BB combination or the second BB combination is established and a transition to the BB gaming state occurs, a game in the BB gaming state is performed, or a transition from the BB gaming state to another gaming state For example, when a transition is made, it is possible to perform an effect corresponding to each, or to perform an effect according to the degree of expectation that a special role is won.
