JP, 2014-014468, A

  In the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary for the player to guess whether or not the number of internal winnings of the rare combination has reached a predetermined number based on the execution of the suggestive production. If is not executed, there is a problem that the player cannot recognize whether or not the current situation is a situation in which if a specific winning combination is internally won, the AT is won at a high winning rate.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that improves the enjoyment of the game by making the player recognize the current situation.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention is
In the gaming machine that plays the game (for example, slot machine 1, pachinko gaming machine),
A pre-determination unit (for example, executed by the main control unit 41) capable of making any one of a plurality of types of determinations including a specific determination (for example, cherry internal winning) for each unit game that is one unit game. Internal lottery process)
Based on that the specific determination is made, it is possible to determine whether or not to control the advantageous state (for example, ART) advantageous to the player, (for example, step S101 executed by the main controller 41). ~ The process of S106),
Based on the specific determination being made, the ratio changing unit (for example, the main control unit 41) that can change the ratio (for example, the ART winning rate) at which the advantageous state determining unit makes a determination to control the advantageous state (Processing for performing ART lottery using the ART lottery table in which the ART winning ratio according to the value of the cherry winning number counter is set in the process of step S102)
Specific effect executing means for executing a specific effect based on the specific determination being made (for example, the processing of steps S200 to S211 executed by the sub-control unit 91),
Based on that the specific determination is made again before the specific game is performed a predetermined number of times after the specific determination is made (for example, 10 games from the previous internal winning of cherry), And a production mode changing unit (for example, the processes of steps S205 and S206 executed by the sub-control unit 91),
Ratio before Symbol specific decision is made is the ratio of the denominator is the numeric value greater than the predetermined number of times when a 1 molecule,
Based on that the specific determination is made again before the predetermined number of unit games are performed after the determination to control the advantageous state is not made based on the specific determination being made. When the determination to control to the advantageous state is made, it is possible to control to the advantageous state when the unit game of the predetermined number of times has been performed from the unit game at which the specific determination is first performed.

  According to such a configuration, by changing the effect mode of the specific effect, at least one of whether the player has made the decision to control to the advantageous state or the ratio of making the decision to control to the advantageous state has been changed. Since it can be recognized that it is, it is not suggested that the decision to control the advantageous state is made by changing the production mode of the specific production, and that the ratio of making the decision to control the advantageous state has been changed. The player can recognize the current situation rather than the machine, and the enjoyment of the game is improved.

(2) In the gaming machine of (1) above,
The ratio changing unit may change a ratio at which the determination to control the advantageous state is performed over the predetermined period after the specific determination is made (for example, the main control unit 41 performs steps S106 and S150 to S153). Process may be executed).

  According to such a configuration, a player who can recognize the suggestion content of the specific effect for a predetermined period of time than a gaming machine that does not change the ratio of making a decision to control the advantageous state for a predetermined period after the specific determination is made. Attention will be paid to whether or not the specific decision is made in, and the interest of the game is further improved.

(3) In the gaming machine of (1) or (2) above,
The advantageous state determination means determines whether or not to control to the advantageous state when the specific determination is performed (for example, the main control unit 41 executes the processing of steps S101 and S102),
Advantageous state control means for controlling to the advantageous state before the predetermined period elapses from the specific determination where the determination to control to the advantageous state is made based on the determination to control to the advantageous state. It may be further provided (for example, the main control unit 41 may execute the processes of steps S104 to S106 and S150 to S156 to control to ART).

  According to such a configuration, the player who can recognize the suggestion content of the specific effect is more predetermined than the gaming machine that does not control the advantageous state until the predetermined period elapses from the specific determination in which the determination to control the advantageous state is made. Attention is paid to whether or not a decision is made to control to an advantageous state during the period, and the interest of the game is further improved.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (3) above,
The ratio changing unit may increase the ratio of making a decision to control to the advantageous state as the number of times the particular decision is made during the predetermined period increases (for example, the main control unit 41 executes the decision). In the process of step S102, the ART lottery table may be used to set the high ART win rate as the value of the cherry win number counter increases, and the ART lottery may be performed.

  According to such a configuration, the suggestion content of the specific effect can be recognized more than the gaming machine in which the ratio of making the decision to control the advantageous state does not increase as the number of times the specific decision is made in the predetermined period increases. The player comes to pay attention to whether or not the specific decision is made in the predetermined period, and the interest of the game is further improved.

(5) In the gaming machine of (4) above,
The advantageous state determination means may perform a determination for controlling the advantageous state when the number of times the specific determination is performed reaches a specific number during the predetermined period (for example, the main control unit 41 executes the determination). In the process of step S102, the ART lottery table may be used to set the ART lottery ratio of 100% when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 2, and the ART lottery may be performed.

  According to such a configuration, a game capable of recognizing the suggestion contents of the specific effect more than a gaming machine that does not make a determination to control to an advantageous state when the number of times the specific determination is performed within a predetermined period reaches the specific number of times The player comes to pay attention to whether or not the specific decision is made in the predetermined period, and the interest of the game is further improved.

  According to such a configuration, whether or not the player who can recognize the suggestion content of the specific effect makes a specific determination in the predetermined period than the gaming machine that cannot specify the period elapsed from the start of execution of the specific effect The interest of the game is further improved.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6) above,
An advantage degree setting means (for example, a set value changing process executed by the main control unit 41) capable of setting an advantage degree for the player based on the start of power supply to the gaming machine;
Based on the determination to control to the advantageous state, the advantageous state control means capable of controlling to the advantageous state (for example, the main control unit 41 executes the processes of steps S104 to S106 and S150 to S156 to perform ART. Control process),
Storage means capable of storing at least the determination result of the advantageous state determination means and the rate at which the advantageous state determination means makes a determination to control the advantageous state (for example, the RAM of the main controller 41 or the sub controller 91). Further equipped with,
The storage means stores the determination result of the advantageous state determination means stored during the predetermined period even after the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped during the predetermined period, and the ratio at which the determination for controlling to the advantageous state is performed. It is possible to continuously store (for example, a backup storage area in which the storage contents are held by a backup power supply is set in the RAM),
The advantageous state control means determines the advantageous state determination means stored in the storage means when the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped after the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped during the predetermined period. Based on the result, it is possible to control to the advantageous state (for example, the value of the ART winning flag or the value of the remaining game number counter, which is returned by the main control unit 41 executing the processes of steps S104 to S106 and S150 to S156). It is possible to control the winning ART when the remaining game counter reaches 0 based on
The advantageous state determining means determines to control to the advantageous state stored in the storage means when the power supply to the gaming machine is restarted after the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped during the predetermined period. It is possible to decide whether or not to make a decision to control to the advantageous state at a rate of performing (for example, based on the value of the cherry winning number counter restored by executing the process of step S102 executed by the main control unit 41). It is possible to draw an ART lot at the ART win rate),
The specific effect execution means, when the power supply to the gaming machine is restarted after the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped during the predetermined period, the specific effect regardless of whether or not the advantage is set. May be restricted (for example, the processes of steps S200 to S204 executed by the sub control unit 91 may be executed).

  According to such a configuration, it is possible not to regulate the execution of the specific effect depending on whether or not the degree of advantage is set when the power supply to the gaming machine is restarted after the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped during the predetermined period. It becomes more difficult for the player to recognize that the advantage is set when the power supply to the gaming machine is restarted, rather than the gaming machine that has the characteristic.

[About setting value]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout rate of medals changes according to the set value. Specifically, the payout rate of medals can be changed by using a winning probability according to a set value in an internal lottery or the like described later. The set value is made up of 6 levels from 1 to 6, where 6 is the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value is in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is the highest for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases in stages. The set value may be set in three stages of 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, H (High), or in seven stages of 1 to 7, and is not limited to six stages.

  In order to change the set value, first, it is necessary to turn on the setting key switch 37 with the front door 1b opened and then turn on the power of the slot machine 1. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read out from the RAM (not shown) of the main control unit 41 is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting by the operation of the reset / setting switch 38 is performed. Move to the setting change state (setting change mode) where the value change operation is possible. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated by one (when the setting 6 is further operated, the setting is returned to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is set as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the confirmed display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM, and the game is allowed to proceed. At this time, a setting command (end) indicating the end of the setting change state is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, and the address of the initialization target RAM at the end of the setting change is set and the RAM is initialized. The setting value may not be changed unless the front door 1b is opened to prevent unauthorized setting change when the front door 1b is not opened. That is, the opening condition of the front door 1b, the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37, and the operation of the power switch 39 may be used as the condition for starting the setting change state. In this case, the setting value change state may be maintained regardless of whether the front door 1b is opened or closed until the setting key switch 37 is turned off. That is, even when the opening of the front door 1b is set as the start condition for the setting change state, the opening / closing of the front door 1b does not have to be set as the end condition for the setting change state.

  Further, in order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the front door 1b may be opened and the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the set value read out from the RAM is displayed on the set value display 24, so that the set value can be confirmed and the set confirmation state (setting confirmation mode) is entered. Transition. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot proceed, and by turning off the setting key switch 37, the setting confirmation state ends, and the game returns to a state in which the game can proceed. As with the set value change state, the set value confirmation state prevents the setting value from being changed unless the front door 1b is opened to prevent unauthorized setting confirmation when the front door 1b is not opened. May be. That is, the opening condition of the front door 1b and the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37 may be used as the start condition of the setting confirmation state. Further, even when the opening of the front door 1b is set as the start condition of the set value confirmation state, the opening / closing of the front door 1b does not have to be set as the end condition of the set value confirmation state.

[About navigation notification and navigation production]
Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the ART lottery process based on the internal lottery result is won, the main control unit 41 sends a navigation notification for notifying a stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result. It is possible to control to an ART (assist replay time) as an example of an advantageous state in which the notification period is executable. When controlling to ART, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination according to the game state, and transmits the push order command to the sub control unit 91. By doing so, the navigation effect is executed. The navigation target winning combination according to the gaming state is, for example, a navigation target winning combination having the same push order replay and push order bell. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute the navigation notification and execute the navigation effect by satisfying a certain condition even in the normal state in which the ART is not controlled.

  In the navigation notification of the present embodiment, by changing the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12, the stop order that is advantageous to the player can be notified in a distinguishable manner. Note that the navigation notification mode is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode as long as the player can identify it according to the winning situation. Further, the game auxiliary display 12 is also used for notification other than the navigation notification, and may be executed using a dedicated display. In the navigation effect of the present embodiment, the stop order advantageous to the player notified by the navigation notification is displayed by displaying the navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51, outputting the navigation illumination light from the effect effect LED 52, and the speaker 53. This is notified by the output of a navigation voice (navi effect sound) from 54.

  As described above, in the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the stop order that is advantageous to the player is notified in a distinguishable manner. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a lottery to determine whether to control the ART when the lottery condition is satisfied. Further, the main control unit 41 selects a prescribed number of games from a plurality of games when the ART ends, and counts the number of games that are not controlled by the ART continuously after the ART ends. Then, the main control unit 41 controls the AT by winning the ART lottery process or when the number of games that are not continuously controlled by the ART reaches a specified number of games (so-called ceiling game number).

[About game control processing]
In addition, the main control unit 41 performs a game control process to control one game. In the game control process, first, a bet process for setting the bet number, credit settlement, and bet number settlement is performed, and if a start operation is performed after the bet number is set, it is determined whether or not a win is allowed by random number lottery. An internal lottery process to determine is performed. After the internal lottery, the reel rotation process is performed, and if the specified period (4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game, the stop switch is activated after the reel rotation is started and the constant speed rotation is started. The operation (stop operation) of 8L to 8R is validated, and the rotation of the reel is stopped according to the stop operation. After the reel rotation process is completed, a winning determination process is performed to determine whether or not a winning or the like has occurred based on the symbol combination on the winning line. After the winning determination process is completed, a payout process is performed, and the payout of medals or the addition of credits is performed according to the occurrence of the winning, and the gaming state is shifted according to the symbol combination on the winning line. As a result, the game control process for one game ends, and the game control process for the next one game starts.

[Regarding performances during games]
Further, the main control unit 41 performs an ART lottery process during the execution of the internal lottery process, controls the ART when the ART is won, and notifies the NAVI stock and the navigation during the assigned number of ART stocks for navigation. Control. The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment notifies the navigation when the winning combination for the navigation is internally won during the ART control, and transmits the game state command, the internal lottery command, etc. to the sub control unit 91 to perform the sub control. Causes the section 91 to execute a navigation effect. In the present embodiment, an internal lottery is performed immediately after the start switch 7 is operated during the ART control, and if an internal winning target is selected for the navigation target, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed before the reel rotation process. Is done. That is, if the winning combination for the navigation target is internally won during the ART control, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed immediately after the operation of the start switch 7. In addition, in the present embodiment, the period from when the navigation notification or the navigation effect is performed until the reel rotation starts to become the constant speed rotation and the stop operation is validated (invalid period of the stop operation) unless the wait is in progress. Is preset to be controlled for a predetermined period of less than 1 second.
In addition, the sub-control unit 91, based on various commands received from the main control unit 41, the above-mentioned navigation effect, each effect according to the game state (for example, notice effect, internal winning suggestion effect, battle effect, etc. It is possible to execute effects, bonus fixed effects, bonus mid effects, navigation effects, and demonstration effects.

[About ART lottery and background image display]
The main control unit 41 performs the ART lottery process shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the cherry is internally won as an example of the special determination (step S101). In the present embodiment, the ART lottery is performed when the cherry is internally won, and the ratio (winning rate) of internally winning the cherry is preset to 1/60. The main control unit 41 repeats the process of step S101 when the cherry is not internally won (step S101; N), and uses the ART lottery table shown in FIG. 6 when the cherry is internally won (step S101; N). The ART lottery is performed (step S102), +1 is added to the value of the cherry winning number counter (step S103), and it is determined whether the ART is won (step S104).

  Here, the cherry winning number counter is a counter (counting means) that counts the number of times that the cherry has been internally won, and +1 is added each time when the cherry is internally won, which is the initial value. When the counter reaches 0, it is reset to 0. The ART lottery table is, as shown in FIG. 6, a table in which the winning percentage when the ART is drawn is set. In the ART lottery table of the present embodiment, the ART winning rate is set according to the value of the cherry winning number counter, and when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 0, the ART winning rate is 12.5% (1 / 8) When the value of the cherry winning number counter is 1, the ART winning rate is 50% (1/2), and when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 2, the ART winning rate is 100% (1/1). Is set in advance.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the ART controller wins the ART (step S104; Y), the main controller 41 sets the ART winning flag to ON (step S105), and ends the process. On the other hand, if the main control unit 41 has not won the ART (step S104; N), the value of the remaining game number counter is set to +10 (step S106), and the process ends. Here, the remaining game number counter is a counter (counting means) that counts the number of games after the cherry is internally won, the initial value is 0, and +10 is set each time the cherry is internally won. -1 is added each time one game is consumed. That is, the remaining game number counter is set to a value of +10 when the cherry is internally won, and is counted down for each game to count 10 games after the cherry is internally won.

  Further, the main control unit 41 performs the normal state game end time process shown in FIG. 7 when the game state is the normal state (normal game state). The main control unit 41 updates the remaining game number counter in the ART lottery process by determining whether or not the value of the remaining game number counter is set to +10 after executing each process at the end of the game (not shown). It is determined whether or not it has been broken (step S150). When the value of the remaining game number counter is not set (step S150; N), the main control unit 41 adds -1 to the value of the remaining game number counter and counts down (step S151). After the countdown or when the value of the remaining game number counter is set to +10 (step S150; Y), the main control unit 41 finally determines whether or not the value of the remaining game number counter reaches 0. It is determined whether 10 games have passed since the cherry was internally won (step S152).

  When the value of the remaining game number counter is not 0 (step S152; N), the main control unit 41 ends the process, and when the value of the remaining game number counter is 0 (step S152; Y), The cherry winning number counter is reset to 0 (step S153), and it is determined whether the ART winning flag is on (step S154). When the ART winning flag is off (step S154; N), the main control unit 41 ends the process, and when the ART winning flag is on (step S154; Y), resets the ART winning flag to off ( In step S155), ART control is started (step S156), and the process ends. Here, the ART winning flag is a flag indicating whether or not the player has won the ART, and the initial value is OFF, and when the ART is won, the flag is turned ON and is reset to OFF when the control of the ART is started.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs the background image display process shown in FIG. 8 when the game state is the normal state (normal game state). First, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the main control unit 41 receives a return command to be transmitted when the power is restored from the power failure or a setting command (end) to be transmitted after changing the setting, and thus the slot machine 1 It is determined whether the power has been restored from the power failure (step S200). When the power is restored from the power failure (step S200; Y), the sub control unit 91 displays the background image of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 before the power failure based on the control state stored in the backup area of the RAM. Is the special background image 522 to 524 shown in FIGS. 9C to 9E (step S201). In order to control in this manner, the RAMs of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment have a backup storage area capable of holding storage contents when power is supplied from the backup power supply. When the power failure is detected based on the output of the power failure detection circuit, the control statuses of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 set in the RAM, the value of the ART winning flag, and the cherry value are provided. The value of the winning number counter, the value of the remaining game number counter, and the like are stored in the backup storage area, respectively, and when the power supply to the slot machine 1 is started, the control state when the power failure is detected can be restored. You can do it.

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 displays one of the background images of the plurality of types of background images (521 to 524) based on the value of the cherry winning number counter. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 shown in FIG. 9B when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 0, and when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 1, the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG. The special background image (high probability 1) 522 shown in (C) is displayed, and when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 2, the special background image (high probability 2) 523 shown in FIG. When the value of the winning number counter is 3 or more, the special background image (confirmed) 524 shown in FIG. 9E is displayed. In the present embodiment, the normal background image 521, the special background image (high probability 1) 522, the special background image (high probability 2) 523, and the special background image (determined) 524 are one tree image and two. An image of a tree, an image of three trees, and an image of four trees are images provided in the upper left display area.
Therefore, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not any of the special background images 522 to 524 different from the normal background image 521 was displayed before the power failure.

  Returning to FIG. 8, when any of the special background images 522 to 524 was displayed before the power interruption (step S201; Y), the sub control unit 91 turns off the background image update flag (step S202), and The normal background image 521 shown in FIG. 9B is displayed as the background image to be displayed after the disconnection recovery (step S202). Here, the background image update flag is a flag indicating whether or not the background image can be updated, the initial value is ON, and the background image displayed after the power failure is restored is the special background image 522 before the power failure. It turns off when the normal background image 521 is changed to the normal background image 521, and is turned on when the control of the ART is started. On the other hand, when the normal background image 521 is displayed before the power failure (step S201; N), the sub control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 without turning off the background image update flag (step S202).

  On the other hand, when the power failure is not recovered (step S200; N), the sub control unit 91 determines whether the background image update flag is on (step S204). When the background image update flag is on (step S204; Y), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the cherry winning number counter has been updated (step S205). In order to control in this way, the sub-control unit 91 includes a cherry winning number counter as in the main control unit 41, and the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by the main control unit 41 based on the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. Similarly, the value of the cherry winning number counter is updated. When the cherry winning number counter is updated (step S205; Y), the sub-control unit 91 updates the background image according to the value of the cherry winning number counter (step S206).

  After the background image is updated or after the normal background image 521 is displayed after the power is restored, the sub control unit 91 determines whether the control of the ART is started based on the control state command received from the main control unit 41. The determination is made (step S207). In order to control in this manner, the main control unit 41 transmits the control state command not only at the start of the game but also at the end of the game. When the control of the ART is not started (step S207; N), the sub control unit 91 ends the process, and when the control of the ART is started (step S207; Y), the ART shown in FIG. The winning image is displayed (step S208), the background image update flag is reset to on (step S209), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the cherry winning number counter is not updated (step S205; N), the sub-control unit 91 does not display the background image including the meter image 531 shown in FIGS. 9 (C) to 9 (E). It is determined whether or not it is the normal background image 521 (step S210). Here, the meter image 531 is an image included in the special background images 522 to 524, and is a meter image indicating a scale amount according to the value of the remaining game number counter in order to count down 10 games from the cherry internal winning. It is an image. Specifically, if the value of the remaining game number counter is +10, the sub-control unit 91 displays a 100% (10 scale) meter image, and the value of the remaining game number counter is decremented by 1. Each time it is displayed, the image of the meter reduced by 10% (1 scale) is displayed (see FIGS. 9C to 9E). In order to control in this way, the sub-control unit 91 is provided with the value of the remaining game counter similarly to the main control unit 41, and is controlled by the main control unit 41 based on the command received from the main control unit 41. Similarly, the value of the remaining game number counter is updated.
Returning to FIG. 8, when the sub-control unit 91 is the normal background image 521 without the meter image 531 (step S210; Y), the process is ended, and when it is the special background image 522 to 524 with the meter image 531 ( In step S210; N), the display is updated so that the meter images 531 of the special background images 522 to 524 are reduced by one game (one scale) (step S211), and the process is ended.

[Regarding battle production during ART control]
In the present embodiment, when the number of remaining ART games is 10 or less during the ART control, the main control unit 41 executes the ART game number addition lottery process for each game, and the sub-control unit 91 Execute a battle effect that adds to the number of ART games and fuels winning. The sub-control unit 91 performs the battle effect selection process shown in FIG. 10 while controlling to ART. First, the sub-control unit 91 operates the start switch 7 by the player based on the BET command received when the BET operation of the MAXBET switch 6 is received, the operation command of the start switch received when the start switch 7 is operated, and the internal winning command. It is determined whether or not has been accepted (step S301). When the operation of the stop switch 7 has not been accepted (step S301; N), the sub control unit 91 repeats the processing of step 301, and when the operation of the stop switch 7 has been accepted (step S301; Y). ), Based on the received game state command, it is determined whether the ART is 10 games or less remaining (step S302). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process if the remaining 10 games or less (step S302; N), and if the remaining 10 games or less (step S302; Y), sends the ART to the ART based on the received internal winning command or the like. It is determined whether or not the player has won the addition (step S303). In the present embodiment, the proportion (winning rate) for winning the ART addition lottery process is set in advance to 20%.

  When the ART addition win is selected (step S303; Y), the sub-control unit 91 selects a battle effect effect pattern using the win selection table shown in FIG. 11A (step S304), and the process ends. To do. On the other hand, if the ART addition is not won (step S303; N), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the ART is the remaining one game (step S305). When there is no remaining one game (step S305; N), the sub-control unit 91 selects the effect pattern of the battle effect using the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11B (step S306), and the process is executed. When the game is finished and there is one game remaining (step S305; N), the effect pattern of the battle effect is selected using the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11C (step S307), and the process is ended. . In addition, the selection table at the time of winning is a table in which the selection rate of the effect pattern of the battle effect when the player is winning in addition to ART is set. In addition, the first non-winning selection table is a table in which the selection ratio of the effect pattern of the battle effect is set in the remaining 10 games to 2 games without adding to the ART and winning. Further, the second non-winning selection table is a table in which the selection rate of the effect pattern of the battle effect when the game is not added to the ART in the remaining one game and is not won.

  Here, in the battle effect of the present embodiment, after the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted, the battle start image is displayed, and the effect step is performed after each stop operation (operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is accepted. This is an effect that progresses and the next image is displayed (display update). Specifically, the battle effect according to the present embodiment is an effect that fuels whether or not an ally character is defeated and defeated by three enemy characters to win, and whether or not ART is added and won and continued.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs the battle effect execution process shown in FIG. 15 while controlling to ART. First, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the number of ARTs remaining is 10 games or less and the effect pattern of the battle effect has been selected (step S351). When the effect pattern of the battle effect is not selected (step S351; N), the sub control unit 91 repeats the process of step S351. When the effect pattern of the battle effect is selected (step S351; Y), the battle starts. The image, that is, the battle start image 541 of the enemy character A or the battle start image 552 of the enemy character B is displayed (step S352), and based on the stop operation command and the internal winning command received when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. Then, it is determined whether or not the stop operation, that is, any one of the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation has been received (step S353).

  When the stop operation is not received (step S353; N), the sub control unit 91 repeats the process of step S353, and when the stop operation is received (step S353; Y), the sub-control unit 91 responds to the selected effect pattern. The displayed image is updated (step S354), and the displayed image is the battle defeat image, that is, one of the first battle defeat image 543, the second battle defeat image 545, and the third battle defeat image 547. It is determined whether there is any (step S355). When the displayed image is not the battle defeat image (step S355; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the displayed image is the battle victory image, that is, the third battle victory image 546 (step S356). . When the displayed image is the battle winning image (step S356; Y), the sub control unit 91 ends the process, and when the displayed image is not the battle winning image (step S356; N), returns to the process of step S353. It waits until the main control unit 41 accepts the stop operation until the battle defeat image or the battle victory image is displayed.

  On the other hand, when the displayed image is a battle defeat image (step S355; Y), the sub-control unit 91 produces an effect pattern in which the selected effect pattern performs a revival effect, that is, "battle effect (defeat 1A) to revival effect". (Victory 1A) "," Battle production (defeat 1B) to return production (Victory 1B) "," Battle production (defeat 2A) to return production (Victory 2A) "," Battle production (defeat 2B) to return production (Victory) 2B) ”,“ battle effect (defeat 3A) to revival effect (win 3A) ”, and“ battle effect (defeat 3B) to revival effect (win 3B) ”. Thus, it is determined whether or not the revival effect is executed for the next game (step S357). When the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the revival effect in the next game (step S357; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process, and when executing the revival effect (step S357; Y), operates the start switch 7 of the next game. It is determined whether or not has been performed (step S358). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S358; N), the sub-control unit 9 repeats the process of step S358 until the start switch 7 is operated, and the start switch 7 is operated. If performed (step S358; Y), the revival start image 548 is displayed (step S359), and the revival victory image (revival victory image 549 from the first battle defeat image, second battle defeat image) corresponding to the selected effect pattern is displayed. The revived victory image 550 from the image and the revived victory image 551 from the third battle defeated image are displayed (step S360), and the process is ended.

[About character selection screen during battle production]
Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs the character selection process shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 while controlling the ART. First, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the game has ended by displaying the battle defeat image based on the received winning determination command or the like (step S401). The sub-controller 91, if not completed the game by displaying the battle defeat image (step S401; N), repeats the processing in step S401, when the completion of the game by displaying the battle defeat image (step S401 ; Y), the receiving image 571 is displayed (step S402), the illumination light of the production LED (not shown) of the production switch 56 is turned on (step S403), and the production pattern is "battle production (defeat 1B) to recovery production". (Victory 1B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2B) to revival production (Victory 2B) ”, and“ Battle production (defeat 3B) to revival production (Victory 3B) ”. At the start of the next game, it is determined whether or not the revival effect is executed (step S404).

  When executing the revival effect (step S404; Y), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game has been performed (step S405). If the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S405; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step S405 until the operation is performed, and the start switch 7 of the next game is operated. When it is performed (step S405; Y), the receiving image 571 is hidden (step S409), the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off (step S410), and the acceptance of the operation of the effect switch 56 is invalidated. (Step S411), and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the revival effect (step S404; Y), the acceptance of the operation of the effect switch 56 is validated (step S406), and whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted is determined. The determination is made (step S407). When the operation of the effect switch 56 is not accepted (step S407; N), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is performed (step S408). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S408; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the processes of steps S407 and S408 until the effect switch 56 or the start switch 7 is operated. . On the other hand, when the start switch 7 of the next game is operated (step S408; Y), the sub control unit 91 executes the processes of steps S409 to S411 described above, and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (step S407; Y), the sub control unit 91 displays the character selection image 561 shown in FIG. 18 (step S412), and as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the start switch 7 of the game is operated (step S413). Here, the character selection screen 561 is a screen for selecting one type of ally character from a plurality of types of ally characters. As shown in FIG. 18, the character selection screen 561 of the present embodiment includes images of teammate characters A, teammate characters B, and teammate characters C, an image of a frame surrounding one kind of teammate characters, and “a teammate character for battle production. It is a screen including each character image of “Please select”, “Select with the cross key switch”, and “Determine with the effect switch”.

  Returning to FIG. 17, when the start switch 7 of the next game is operated (step S413; Y), the sub-control unit 91 hides the character selection screen 561 (step S414), and steps S409 to S409 described above. The process of S411 is executed, and the process ends. On the other hand, when the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is not performed (step S405; N), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation of the cross key switch (not shown) is accepted as the operation of selecting the teammate character. The determination is made (step S415). When the selection operation is accepted (step S415; Y), the sub control unit 91 updates the display of the character selection screen by updating the display position of the frame image according to the selection operation (step S416), and the step Returning to the processing of S413, when the selection operation has not been accepted (step S415; Y), it is determined whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 has been accepted as the ally character determining operation (step S417).

  When the decision operation is not accepted (step S415; N), the sub control unit 91 returns to the process of step S413 and performs any one of the operation of the start switch 7, the selection operation, and the decision operation of the next game. The processing of steps S413, S415, and S417 is repeated until it is heard. On the other hand, when the determination operation is accepted (step S415; Y), the sub-control unit 91 makes settings for performing a battle effect with the selected teammate character (step S418), and hides the character selection screen 561 (step S418). (S419), returning to the process of step S407, the production switch 56 is operated again while the accepting image 571 of the battle defeat image is displayed, and the character selection screen 561 is displayed or the start switch 7 of the next game is operated. The processing of steps S407 and S408 is repeated until.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, when the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted, the main controller 41 has an internal winning ratio of 1/60. The internal lottery process is executed so that Further, the main control unit 41 performs the first ART lottery so that the winning rate becomes 1/8 (normal probability) when the internal winning of the cherry is 1/60 in the normal state. At this time, the sub control unit 91 is displaying the normal background image 521 as the background image of the effect. At this time, if the ART is not won, the main control unit 41 changes the ART winning rate from the next game to 10 games to 1/2 (high probability 1), and the sub-control unit 91 causes the background image to be displayed. Is changed to a special background image (high probability 1) 522. Although illustration is omitted, when the ART is won in the first ART lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the ART determination state (ART preparation state) for 10 games from the next game, and the sub control unit 91. Changes the display of the background image to the special background image (high probability 1) 522.

Further, the main control unit 41 performs the second ART lottery with a winning rate of ½ (high probability of 1) when the internal winning of cherry is 1/60 during 10 games. At this time, if the player does not win the ART, the main control unit 41 changes the ART winning ratio for 10 games from the next game to 1/1 (high probability 2), and the sub-control unit 91 displays the background image. Is changed to a special background image (high probability 2) 522. Although illustration is omitted, when the player wins the ART in the second ART lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the ART fixed state until 10 games have passed from the previous cherry internal winning, and the sub control unit 91 , The display of the background image is changed to the special background image (high probability 1) 523.
Further, the main control unit 41 wins the ART by performing a third ART lottery with a winning rate of 1/1 (high probability 2) when the internal winning of the cherry is 1/60 in 10 games. Make them win. At this time, the main control unit 41 controls the ART preparation state until 10 games have passed since the previous cherry internal winning, and the sub control unit 91 changes the display of the background image to the special background image (decision) 524.

By doing this, the background image of the effect is changed, so that the player can recognize that the cherry has been internally won, and at least whether the player has won the ART or the ART winning rate has been changed to a high probability. Since it can be recognized that it is one side, the player can recognize the current situation more than the slot machine in which it is not suggested that the winning of ART and the winning rate of ART become high probability by changing the background image of the production, The interest is improved.
In the present embodiment, the ART lottery is performed only when the cherry is internally won. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the rare role such as watermelon is internally won or the bonus is internally won. Alternatively, the ART lottery may be performed even when a small win such as a normal bell or a normal replay is won. In this case, the ART winning rate may be set at a different rate depending on the internally won small winning combination.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 raises the ART winning rate for 10 games after the internal winning of cherry.
By doing so, the suggestion content of the background image, that is, the background image is changed to the special background images 522 to 524, as compared with the slot machine which does not increase the ART winning rate for 10 games after the internal winning of cherry. Then, pay attention to whether the player who internally wins cherry and wins ART or whether the ART win rate is changed to a high probability is internally won again for 10 games. The interest in the game is further improved.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 raises the ART winning rate for 10 games after the internal winning of cherry, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may raise the ART winning rate until you win the ART.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs the ART lottery when the cherry is internally won, and after winning the ART, there is a 10-game interval from the previous cherry internal win. The ART preparation state is controlled until the time elapses, and the ART control is performed at least until 10 games have elapsed from the cherry internal winning at the time of the ART winning.
By doing so, after the player who can recognize the suggested contents of the background image is changed to the special background image than the slot machine which is not controlled by the ART within 10 games from the cherry internal winning at the time of ART winning Now that attention is paid to whether or not to win the ART for 10 games, the interest of the game is further improved.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the ART preparation state after winning the ART until 10 games have elapsed from the previous cherry internal winning, but the present invention is not limited to this. After winning the ART, the ART may be controlled without controlling the ART preparation state.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main controller 41 increases the number of internal wins for cherry again within 10 games from the previous internal cherry win (the value of the cherry win count counter increases ). As a result, the winning rate for ART is getting higher.
By doing this, a game in which the suggestion content of the background image can be recognized more than the slot machine in which the ART winning rate does not increase as the number of internal winnings for cherry again increases within 10 games from the previous internal winning of cherry. The player will pay attention to whether or not to internally win the cherry for 10 games after the special background image is changed, and the interest of the game is further improved. It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable to increase the ART winning rate as the number of internal wins for cherry again increases within 10 games from the previous internal win for cherry, but the present invention is not limited to this. The ART win rate may be lowered as the number of times that the player has internally won the cherry again within 10 games since the previous cherry internal win. Further, for example, the ART win rate may be changed to an arbitrary rate between 0% and 100% each time the cherry is internally won again for 10 games from the last time the cherry is internally won. In other words, the ART win rate may be drawn every time the player internally wins the cherry again within 10 games since the previous cherry internal win.

In particular, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control section 41 wins the ART when the number of internal wins of cherry again within 10 games from the previous internal win of cherry becomes 2 (specific number). Make sure the percentage is 100% and make sure to win the ART.
By doing this, a game in which the suggestion content of the background image can be recognized more than the slot machine which does not win the ART when the number of times the player internally wins the cherry again reaches a specific number within 10 games from the last time the player internally won the cherry. Players will now pay attention to whether or not they will be internally won again for 10 games, which further enhances the enjoyment of the game.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sets the ART win rate to 100% when the number of internal wins for cherry is again twice in 10 games from the previous internal win of cherry. There is no limitation, and for example, the ART winning rate does not have to be 100% until the number of games reaches three. Further, the ART winning rate may not be set to 100% even if the number of internal wins of cherry again increases within 10 games from the previous internal win of cherry.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the meter image 531 while displaying the special background images 522 to 524, and the player can win the cherry inside last time. It is possible to recognize the remaining number of 10 games from.
According to such a configuration, the player who can recognize the suggestion content of the specific effect than the slot machine that cannot recognize the remaining number of 10 games from the previous internal winning of cherry is able to recognize cherry again over 10 games. Now that you are paying attention to whether or not you win an internal prize, the interest in the game is further improved.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the meter image 531 while displaying the special background images 522 to 524, but the effect that makes it possible to specify the number of remaining games is not limited to this. For example, ten effect LEDs are provided to light up the effect LEDs in a number corresponding to the number of remaining games, or the remaining games are output by voice through the speakers 53 and 54. A plurality of these three types of outputs are used. You may be able to specify it.
Note that, as in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 preferably displays the meter image 531 while displaying the special background images 522 to 524, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter image 531 is displayed. You don't have to.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is set after the power is restored by the operation of the setting key switch 37 and the power switch 39 by the clerk of the game store or the like with the front door 1b opened. It is possible to change to the change mode and change the set value. In addition, the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 include a RAM in which a backup storage area in which the stored contents are held by a backup power supply is set, and the main controller 41 and the sub-control unit 91 are in a control state when power failure is detected at the time of power failure recovery. It is possible to restore the background image of the effect, and it is possible to restore the value of the ART winning flag, the value of the cherry winning number counter, and the value of the remaining game number counter. . Therefore, the main control unit 41 performs the ART lottery at the ART winning rate based on the value of the restored cherry winning number counter, and the remaining based on the value of the restored ART winning flag and the value of the remaining game number counter. It is possible to control the winning ART when the game number counter reaches 0. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 as the background image of the effect after the power is restored regardless of the restored control state and the value of the number of times of winning the cherry.
By doing so, when the power interruption occurs for 10 games after displaying the special background images 522 to 524, the special display that is displayed before the power interruption only when the set value is changed when the power is restored. It is more difficult for the player to recognize that the set value has been changed when the power is restored, as compared with the slot machine that changes the background images 522 to 524 to the normal background image 521.

  Here, in a game store in which a plurality of slot machines 1 are installed, all slot machines 1 are powered off (powered off) after closing, and all slot machines 1 are powered on (powered off) when the store is opened. Consider the case where the settings of the slot machine 1 are changed before the store is opened. For example, before opening a store, change one of the 20 slot machines 1 to a lower setting than the previous business day and change the other one to a higher setting than the previous business day every business day. Think about the case. If the player can identify the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed to a high setting (if discernible), the player is more likely to be able to increase the net increase in medals, and therefore tries to identify the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed. . Therefore, if the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed can be specified, the player will play the game only with the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed, and the operating rate of the slot machine 1 whose setting has not been changed will decrease. However, the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 may be reduced.

Further, conventionally, in the slot machine, when the setting is changed, the RAM of the main control unit and the sub control unit is initialized, for example, the bonus winning flag is initialized, and the bonus state before the power failure is returned to the normal state. Or the effect mode is returned from the special effect mode to the normal effect mode. For this reason, the player intentionally closes the game in a bonus state or in a state where a special effect mode is controlled and ends the game, and the bonus state returns to the normal state on the next business day, or when the special effect mode is normal. There is a problem that it is specified whether or not the setting has been changed by returning to the production mode, and as described above, there is a possibility that the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 of the game store may decrease.
On the other hand, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the background image displayed after the power failure is restored is the normal background image 521 regardless of whether or not the setting is changed during the power failure recovery. Therefore, even if the background image displayed before the power failure is the special background images 522 to 524, the normal background image 521 is always displayed as the background image after the power failure recovery, so that the player recovers from the power failure. It becomes impossible to specify that the setting value has been changed when the power is restored due to the subsequent background image. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the set value has been changed when the power is restored, and a decrease in the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 of the game store can be reduced.

  Note that, as in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 preferably sets the background image displayed after the power is restored to the normal background image 521, regardless of whether or not the setting is changed when the power is restored. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the setting is changed when the power is restored, the background image displayed after the power is restored is changed to the normal background image 521, and when the setting is not changed when the power is restored, the power is cut off. The background image displayed after restoration may be the background image before power failure, and the background image displayed after restoration from power failure may be set as the normal background image 521 when the setting is not changed at the time of restoration from power failure. The background image displayed after the power failure is restored when the setting is changed may be the background image before the power failure.

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs the lottery for adding the number of ART games for each game when the number of ARTs remaining is 10 games or less while controlling the ARTs. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 executes a battle effect that adds to the number of ART games for each game when the remaining ART games are 10 games or less. Further, the sub-control unit 91 uses "battle production (victory A)", "battle production (victory B)", "battle production (defeat 1A) to recovery production (victory 1A)", and "battle" as production patterns for battle production. Production (defeat 1B) to revival production (Victory 1B) "," Battle production (defeat 2A) to revival production (Victory 2A) "," Battle production (defeat 2B) to revival production (Victory 2B) "," Battle production ( Defeat 3A) to return production (win 3A) "," Battle production (defeat 3B) to return production (win 3B) "," Battle production (defeat 1A) "," Battle production (defeat 1B) "," Battle production ( Defeat 2A) "," battle effect (defeat 2B) "," battle effect (defeat 3A) ", and" battle effect (defeat 3B) "are selected and executed from 14 types of effect patterns.

  In the present embodiment, the production steps of the “battle production (defeat 1A)” and the “battle production (defeat 1B)” are the battle start images 541 and 552, the first battle after the operation of the start switch 7 and the acceptance of the first stop operation. It is suggested that the defeat image 543 is displayed in order and the battle is defeated after advancing the battle effect, and the number of ART games is increased and the lottery is not won. The production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are the battle start images 541 and 552 after the start switch 7 operation, the first stop operation, and the second stop operation are received. It is indicated that the 1 battle continuation image 542 and the 2nd battle defeat image 545 are displayed in that order to advance the battle production, and then lose the battle and not win the ART number of games lottery. In addition, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" are the battle start image after the operation of the start switch 7, the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation. 541, 552, the first battle continuation image 542, the second battle continuation image 544, and the third battle defeat image 547 are displayed in this order, and after proceeding with the battle effect, the battle is defeated and the number of games in ART is not added to the lottery. Suggest that. on the other hand. “Battle effect (Victory A)” and “Battle effect (Victory B)” are the battle start images 541 and 552, after the acceptance of the operation of the start switch 7, the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation. It is indicated that the 1 battle continuation image 542, the 2nd battle continuation image 544, and the 3rd battle victory image 546 are displayed in this order to progress the battle production, and then the battle is won to win the battle and to win the ART game number addition lottery.

  In addition, when the number of ART games has not been won and the sub-control unit 91 has not won the lottery drawing, the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. The effect pattern is selected by using the second non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11C, and the effect pattern is selected only when the remaining ART is one game. Then, in the first non-winning selection table, in the production steps of “Battle production (defeat 1A)”, “Battle production (defeat 1B)”, “Battle production (defeat 2A)”, and “Battle production (defeat 2B)”. While the selection rates are set to 20%, 25%, 15%, and 20%, respectively, in the second non-winning selection table, "battle effect (defeat 1A)" and "battle effect (defeat 1B)" , “Battle production (defeat 2A)”, and “Battle production (defeat 2B)” are all set to 0%. That is, when the number of ART games is not added to the lottery and the number of ART games is 10 remaining games to 2 remaining games, the "Battle production (defeat 1A)" and "Bart production (defeat 1A)" are higher than when the ART games are one remaining game. The production steps of "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" are selected.

  By doing so, if the battle effect is executed when the number of ART games is not increased and the battle effect is executed, when the ART is the remaining one game, the ART is the first game than the remaining 10 games to the two remaining games. It is suggested that after the 1st stop operation or the 2nd stop operation is received, the number of ART games cannot be added to the lottery, and it is difficult to lose the expectation for the ART addition prize at an early stage. As a result, when the number of ART games is not increased and the number of remaining ART games is from 10 games to 2 games, the "Battle production (defeat 1A)" is higher than when the ART games are 1 game. Recognize the number of remaining games in ART rather than the slot machine in which the battle production is not executed because the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" are selected. The player's expectation can be maintained in the situation where the remaining one game of the ART that the player is paying attention to is maintained, and the interest of the game is improved.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the number of remaining ART games is 10 or less, the number of ART games is always added to the lottery at a winning rate of 20% regardless of the internal lottery result, but the present invention is not limited to this. When the number of remaining games is 10 or less, the number of ART games may be increased and the lottery may be performed with a different winning rate. For example, a lottery may be performed with different winning percentages depending on the internal lottery result. At this time, when internally winning a rare role such as cherry or watermelon, it is more likely than when internally winning a normal small role such as bell or replay. The winning rate may be higher. Further, for example, a lottery may be performed with a different winning rate depending on the number of remaining games, and at this time, the remaining 10 games (first game), the remaining 9 games (second game), ..., The remaining 1 game (10th game) ) And the winning percentage may increase as the number of remaining games decreases. In addition, for example, a lottery may be carried out at a different winning rate depending on the number of games awarded at the time of winning, and at this time, the more games are awarded at the time of winning (the more advantageous the ART is, the more the winning is won). The rate may be higher. In addition, in this embodiment, the number of ART games is added to the lottery at a winning rate of 20% over 10 games, and about 89.3% (1- (0.8) ¹⁰ = 89.262 ...) The number of games to be added to the ART is elected at a rate of, and the ART is continued. However, the rate of continuation of the ART is not limited to this, and may be a low rate of about 20%, for example. In order to do so, when the lottery is performed with different winning rates, each winning rate may be adjusted so as to have a preset continuation rate. When a lottery is performed with different winning rates according to the internal lottery results, a selection table at the time of selection, a selection table at the first non-winning time, and a second non-winning time provided for each internal lottery result (each internal winning combination) The effect pattern may be selected using the selection table. By doing this, for example, when the internal winning of the rare combination is selected, the effect pattern in which the battle effect continues until after the third stop is selected at a higher rate than when the internal winning of the normal small combination is selected, or the normal small combination is selected. It is possible to make an adjustment such that it is difficult to continue the battle effect until the third stop after the player is internally elected to the role, while the revival effect is easily executed.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second non-winning selection table, the selection ratio of the effect steps of the "battle effect (defeat 3A)" and the "battle effect (defeat 3B)" is 30. % And 70% respectively, and when the number of ART games is not increased and the ART is not one of the lottery winners, there is only one game remaining, "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", The production steps of “Battle production (defeat 3A)” and “Battle production (defeat 3B)” are selected at a higher rate than the production steps of “battle production (defeat 2A)” and “battle production (defeat 2B)”. It has become.
By doing so, if the battle effect is executed when the ART has one game remaining and the player has not won the lottery for adding the number of ART games, the first stop before the third stop operation is accepted. After receiving the operation or the second stop operation, it is suggested that the player did not win the ART number-of-games lottery, which makes it difficult to lose the expectation for the ART-number of prizes winning at an early stage. As a result, when the number of ART games is not increased and lottery is not won, "Bart production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)" when the ART has one remaining game , A slot machine in which the battle production is not executed because the production steps of the “battle production (defeat 3A)” and the “battle production (defeat 3B)” are selected at a higher rate than the production step of the “battle production (defeat 2B)” The player's expectation can be maintained in a situation where the player who has recognized the number of remaining ART games has noticed the remaining one game of ART, and the enjoyment of the game is improved.

In the present embodiment, when the number of remaining ARTs is 10 or less, the number of ARTs is increased and lottery is performed to perform the battle effect. However, the number of remaining games is not limited to 10 or less, and the number of remaining games is an arbitrary number. Alternatively, the number of ART games may be increased and a lottery may be performed to execute the battle effect. For example, when the number of remaining games is 5 or less or the number of remaining games is 15 or less, the number of ART games may be increased and a lottery may be performed to execute the battle effect.
In addition, in the present embodiment, when the number of ART games in addition to the lottery is not won, when the ART has one remaining game, a high ratio of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" is produced. Although the step is selected, the number of remaining games that the player pays attention to is not limited to the remaining one game, and may be, for example, three games or less remaining, a specific number of games such as five remaining games, or the number of remaining games. May be a multiple of 3 (9 games remaining, 6 games remaining, 3 games remaining).

According to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second non-winning selection table, "battle effect (defeat 1A)", "battle effect (defeat 1B)", "battle effect (defeat 2A)", " All the selection rates of the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 2B)" are set to 0%. That is, when the number of ART games is not increased and lottery is not won, when the ART has one game remaining, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)", The production step of "battle production (defeat 2B)" is not selected.
By doing so, when the number of ART games is not increased and lottery is not won, when the ART has one game remaining, "battle effect (defeat 1A)", "battle effect (defeat 1B)", "battle effect ( Defeat 2A) ”and“ Battle production (defeat 2B) ”are selected, and the attention of the player who recognizes the remaining number of games of the ART is higher than that of the slot machine that may execute the battle production. With the remaining one game, the player's expectation can be maintained, and the interest of the game is improved.

  As in the present embodiment, when the number of ART games is not increased and lottery is not won, when the ART has one remaining game, "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle" It is preferable that the production steps of "production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are not selected, but the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, the number of games added to the ART is not selected. In this case, the production step of "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" when the ART has one game left It may be selected at a lower ratio than the effect steps of "battle effect (defeat 3A)" and "battle effect (defeat 3B)".

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the number of ARTs remaining reaches 10 or less, the battle effect is executed for each game and the number of ART games is added to the lottery.
By doing this, when the ART becomes 10 games or less remaining, if the player has 10 ART games remaining or less than the slot machine that does not execute the battle effect for each game or add lots of ART games The interest in the game is further improved by paying attention to the progress of each game.
Note that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that when the number of remaining ARTs is 10 or less, a battle effect is executed for each game and the number of ARTs is increased, and a lottery is performed. The number of ART games may be added for each game, and the battle effect may be executed as a continuous effect for each of the plurality of games.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operation of the start switch 7 or the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R as the stop operation by the player is accepted, the production step of the battle effect is advanced. There is.
By doing so, the player can perform the operation while paying attention to the progress of the effect step of the battle effect. Therefore, when the operation of each switch 7, 8L, 8C, 8R by the player is accepted, the battle is performed. The player becomes more interested in the operation of the switches 7, 8L, 8C, 8R and the progress of the production step of the battle production than the slot machine which does not advance the production step of the production, and the interest of the game is further improved.
It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable to advance the effect step of the battle effect when the operation of each switch 7, 8L, 8C, 8R for advancing the game by the player is accepted. Without being limited, for example, the production step of the battle production may be advanced when the operation of the production switch 56 is received, and the production step of the battle production when each operation of the plurality of types of production switches is received. May proceed.

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the battle effect is "battle effect (victory A)" in which the enemy character A is displayed, "battle effect (defeat 1A) to revival effect (victory 1A)", " Battle production (defeat 2A) to return production (win 2A) "," Battle production (defeat 3A) to return production (win 3A) "," Battle production (defeat 1A) "," Battle production (defeat 2A) "," "Battle production (defeat 3A)" production pattern, "Battle production (Victory B)", "Battle production (defeat 1B) to recovery production (Victory 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2B) to recovery production (Victory 2B) ) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B) to return production (win 3B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 1B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B) ” Any production pattern It can be selected.

  Here, in the present embodiment, since the winning percentage of the number of ART games per game is set to 20%, the winning selection table shown in FIG. 20% of the effect patterns are selected, and 80% of the effect patterns are selected using the first non-winning selection table or the first non-winning selection table without winning the ART. In particular, if the player does not win the ART, the proportion of the effect patterns selected using the first non-winning selection table in the remaining two games from 10 to 72 is 72% (0.8 × 0.9 = 0. .72), and the number of remaining games is 1 and the ratio of effect patterns selected using the second non-winning selection table is 8% (0.8 × 0.1 = 0.08).

  Therefore, the ratio of selecting each effect pattern when the number of remaining ARTs is 10 games or less is 6% (0.3 ×) for “battle effect (win A)” as shown in FIG. 20 (A). 0.2 = 0.06), and "Battle effect (Victory B)" is 4% (0.2 × 0.2 = 0.04). In addition, "battle production (defeat 1A) to revival production (win 1A)" is 3% (0.15 x 0.2 = 0.03), and "battle production (defeat 1B) to revival production (win 1B)" The selectivity is 2% (0.15 × 0.2 = 0.03). In addition, 2% (0.1 × 0.2 = 0.02) of "battle production (defeat 2A) to revival production (win 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B) to revival production (win 2B)" It becomes 1% (0.05 × 0.2 = 0.01). Also, 1.4% (0.07 × 0.2 = 0.014) for “Battle production (defeat 3A) to return production (win 3A)” and “Battle production (defeat 3B) to return production (win 3B) Is 0.6% (0.03 × 0.2 = 0.006). Also, 14.4% (0.2 × 0.72 = 0.144) for “Battle production (defeat 1A)” and 18% (0.25 × 0.72 = 0) for “Battle production (defeat 1B)”. .18). Also, "Battle production (defeat 2A)" was 10.8% (0.15 x 0.72 = 0.108), and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" was 14.4% (0.2 x 0.72). = 0.144). And "Battle production (defeat 3A)" is 6% (0.05x0.72 + 0.3x0.08 = 0.06) and "Battle production (defeat 3B)" is 16.4% (0.15). X0.72 + 0.7x0.08 = 0.164).

Therefore, after receiving the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation depending on which of the enemy characters A and B is displayed when the battle start images 541 and 552 are displayed. The ratio of whether or not the production steps proceed up to is different.
By doing so, the player can pay attention to which enemy character, enemy character A or enemy character B, is displayed when the battle start images 541 and 552 are displayed, and a plurality of types of enemy characters are displayed. Amusement of the game is improved as compared to the slot machine in which the battle effect in which any one of the enemy characters is displayed is not executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), when the enemy character A is selected, the ratio of winning the battle including the revival effect (winning rate) is about 28.4% ((0.06 + 0 .03 + 0.02 + 0.014) / (0.06 + 0.03 + 0.02 + 0.014 + 0.144 + 0.108 + 0.06) = 0.284 ...), and when the enemy character B is selected, the battle including the revival effect is included. The winning percentage is about 13.5% ((0.04 + 0.02 + 0.01 + 0.006) / (0.04 + 0.02 + 0.01 + 0.006 + 0.18 + 0.144 + 0.164) = 0.1347 ...) It becomes easier to win the battle when the character A is selected than when the enemy character B is selected.
By doing so, the player will pay attention to whether or not the battle start image 541 of the enemy character A is displayed when the battle effect is started, and among the plurality of types of enemy characters having different win rates. The interest of the game is improved as compared with the slot machine in which the battle effect in which any one of the enemy characters is displayed is not executed.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when the enemy character B is selected, the production step is likely to proceed until after the reception of the third stop operation at a higher rate than when the enemy character A is selected. Without being limited to this, when the enemy character A is selected, the effect step may be facilitated to proceed after the reception of the third stop operation at a higher rate than when the enemy character B is selected. In this case, in the present embodiment, the winning rate is higher when the enemy character A is selected than when the enemy character B is selected. Therefore, if the effect step can easily proceed until the enemy character third stop operation is accepted. It is possible to further increase the player's expectation for winning the prize by adding the number of ART games.

  In addition, in this embodiment, two types of enemy characters (enemy character A and enemy character B) having different easiness of progress of the production step and the winning rate of the battle can be displayed in the battle production, but the production step progresses. It may be possible to display three or more types of enemy characters having different easiness and battle winning rate. In addition, one type of enemy character may be displayed in a plurality of types of display modes (for example, different clothes and different hairstyles, etc.) that differ in the ease with which the production step progresses and the win rate of the battle. Further, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable to be able to display a plurality of types of enemy characters different in the ease of the production step and the battle win rate in the battle production, but only one type of enemy character is the same. The display may be possible only in the display mode.

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the revival effect as the effect pattern of the battle effect, from “battle effect (defeat 1A) to revival effect (win 1A)” and “battle effect ( From Defeat 1B) to Revival Production (Victory 1B) "," Battle Directive (Defeat 2A) to Revival Production (Victory 2A) "," Battle Performance (Defeat 2B) to Revival Production (Victory 2B) "," Battle Performance (Defeat 3A) The production patterns of “() (3) for revival” and “Battle production (3B for defeat)-” (3B for revival) ”can be selected. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20 (C), when the first battle defeat production 543 is displayed after the first stop operation is received, the ratio (selection rate) at which the revival production is executed is about 13. .4% ((0.03 + 0.02) / (0.03 + 0.02 + 0.144 + 0.18) = 0.1336 ...), when the second battle defeat production 545 is displayed after the second stop operation is received The rate at which the revival effect is executed is about 10.6% ((0.02 + 0.01) / (0.02 + 0.01 + 0.108 + 0.144) = 0.1063 ...) After the third stop operation is received. When the third battle defeat production 547 is displayed, the proportion of the revived production executed is about 8.2% ((0.014 + 0.006) / (0.014 + 0.006 + 0.06 + 0.164) = 0.0819.・ ・) And the third stop Operation, second stop operation, the rate of revival effect after accepting the order of the first stop operation is performed increases.

  By doing this, even after the battle defeat image is displayed and it is suggested that the player did not win the ART number of games addition lottery, it is suggested that the revival production is executed and the ART number of games addition number lottery is won. The player can expect to be played, and when the first battle defeat image 543 and the second battle defeat image 545 in which the resurrection effect is executed are displayed, the resurrection effect is executed. Come to expect more. As a result, no matter which battle defeat image is displayed, the player will pay more attention to which battle defeat image is displayed rather than the slot machine that executes the resurrection effect at the same ratio, and the interest of the game will be increased. Is further improved.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the ratio of the revival effect being executed after the reception in the order of the third stop operation, the second stop operation, and the first stop operation is high, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the first stop operation is performed. The ratio of execution of the revival effect may be higher after the operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation are sequentially received.
In addition, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the ratio of executing the revival effect is different depending on which battle defeat image is displayed, but regardless of which battle defeat image is displayed, the revival effect is performed at the same rate. You may execute.
Further, although it is preferable that the revival effect is executed even when the battle defeat image is displayed as in the present embodiment, the revival effect may not be executed.

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 causes the “battle effect (defeat 1A) to return effect (win 1A)” and the “battle effect (defeat 1B) to return effect (win 1B)”. , "Battle production (defeat 2A) to revival production (win 2A)", "Battle production (defeat 2B) to revival production (win 2B)" in the production pattern, the revival victory images 549 and 550 are displayed in the revival production. It becomes a production in which an ally character attacks and defeats multiple enemy characters with a special move. On the other hand, when the production pattern is the production pattern of "battle production (defeat 3A) to revival production (win 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B) to revival production (win 3B)", the third battle defeat image in the revival production The revival victory image 551 is displayed and the friend character defeats the last enemy character with a normal attack. That is, when the progress of the effect step is stopped after the first stop operation or the second stop operation is accepted, the revival victory image is different from when the effect step is advanced until after the acceptance of the third stop operation.

By doing so, the resurrection effect can be executed in a suitable effect mode according to the battle defeat image different from that of the slot machine in which the resurrection victory image from each battle defeat image is the same image.
As in the present embodiment, when the progress of the effect step is stopped after the first stop operation or the second stop operation is received, the revival victory image is different from when the effect step is advanced until after the third stop operation is accepted. Although it is preferable to make them different, the revived victory images from each battle defeated image may be the same image (for example, an image in which a teammate character defeats all enemy characters with a special move).

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the sub-control unit 91 does not win the lottery for increasing the number of games in ART, the battle defeat image (first battle defeat image 543, second battle defeat image 545, After the game ends while the third battle defeat image 547) is displayed, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted, the character selection screen 561 is displayed and the ally character of the battle effect can be selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted, the battle start image 541 is displayed, the first stop operation is accepted, the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed, and the third stop operation is accepted. After the game is finished, the reception image 571 is displayed, the operation of the effect switch 56 is validated, and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on. At this time, when the player operates the production switch 56, the character selection screen 561 is displayed, and when the operation for selecting / deciding the teammate character is performed, the first battle defeat image 543 returns to the state of being displayed again. It is like this. Although illustration is omitted, when the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted in this state, the operation of the effect switch 56 is invalidated and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the ART number-of-games lottery, even if the effect switch 56 is operated after the game ends with the battle victory image (third battle victory image 546) being displayed. The character selection screen 561 is not displayed, and the ally character cannot be selected.
By doing so, the player becomes interested in performing the effect switch 56 after the battle defeat image is displayed in the battle production, and either the battle defeat image or the battle victory image is produced in the battle production. Regardless of whether it is displayed, when the production switch is operated, the character selection screen is displayed, and a slot machine that allows you to select an ally character, or a battle defeat image or a battle victory image is displayed in the battle production. Regardless of whether or not the player switch is operated, the character selection screen is not displayed, and the interest in the game is improved compared to the slot machine in which the teammate character cannot be selected.

  In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the number-of-games lottery for ART, the battle defeat image is displayed not only after the game is ended in the state where the battle victory image (third battle victory image 546) is displayed. Even if the effect switch 56 is operated even after the game ends in the state of being displayed, the character selection screen 561 is not displayed, and the teammate character cannot be selected. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted, the battle start image 541 is operated, the first stop operation is accepted, the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed, and the third stop is displayed. After the operation is accepted and the game ends, the accepting image 571 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on, while the operation of the effect switch 56 remains disabled. There is. Therefore, even if the player operates the effect switch 56, the character selection screen 561 is not displayed, the state in which the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed continues, and the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted. The revival start image 548 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off.

By doing so, if the player does not display the character selection screen 561 even if he / she operates the effect switch 56 when the battle defeat image is displayed, the revival effect is executed in the next game. Can be recognized. As a result, the player becomes more interested in performing the effect switch 56 after the battle defeat image is displayed in the battle effect, and the battle defeat image is displayed when the revival effect is executed in the next game. Even if the production switch is operated when the game is played, the enjoyment of the game is improved compared to the slot machine that displays the character selection screen.
In the present embodiment, the reception of the operation of the effect switch 56 is enabled / disabled to permit or restrict the display of the character selection screen 561. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The acceptance of the operation of the switch 56 may be always validated. In this case, when the revival effect is executed in the next game, it is necessary to control so that the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted. Further, for example, a configuration (lock mechanism) that physically prohibits the pressing operation of the effect switch 56 may be provided.

In the present embodiment, when the game is ended in a state where the battle defeat image is displayed in the case where the number of games for ART is not added and the lottery is not won, an operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted as an example of the predetermined operation. Although the selection screen 561 is displayed, the predetermined operation as the display start condition of the character selection screen is not limited to this. For example, the player may operate a new operation means such as an operation lever or a touch-type touch panel. When it is received, when the motion detection means of the player such as motion capture detects the motion of the player, or when the non-contact data reading device detects a mobile phone or an IC card with an IC chip held by the player. When this is done, the character selection screen 561 may be displayed.
In the present embodiment, the display control of the character selection screen 561 is performed as an example of the predetermined control when the operation of the effect switch 56 is received, but the predetermined control is not limited to this, and for example, the menu It may be screen display control. In this case, on the menu screen, settings such as adjustment of the effect mode of the entire slot machine 1, adjustment of the volume, adjustment of the amount of illumination light, etc. may be possible. That is, the predetermined control is not limited to the control for setting the battle effect executed in the next game, and may be the control for performing the overall setting of the effect during the game including the battle effect. When the display control of the menu screen is performed, for example, the game history is displayed on the menu screen, or a two-dimensional code for transmitting the game history to the management server (management device) of the game system is displayed. May be possible. That is, the predetermined control is not limited to the control for setting the effect, and may be any control as long as the control is related to the game that the player can execute.

According to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can display the character selection image by operating the production switch 56 after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. There is.
By doing so, the player can perform the operation of displaying the character selection image more easily than the slot machine that displays the character selection image by operating the operation means other than the effect switch.
Note that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the character selection image can be displayed by operating the effect switch 56, but the character selection image can be displayed by operating an operation means other than the effect switch. Good.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 does not only perform after the game ends in a state where the battle defeat image is displayed when the number of games for ART is not increased and the lottery is not won, Even if the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when you win the additional game number of ART and the battle defeat image is displayed, the accepting image 571 is displayed and the effect switch is displayed until the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted. 56 LED for production is turned on.
By doing so, not only when the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted and the character selection screen 561 is displayed, but also because the revival effect is executed in the next game, the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed. Even if the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if it is displayed, the receiving image 561 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on, so that the revival effect is executed in the next game so that it is used for effect. Even a player who recognizes that the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the switch 56 is operated has to operate the effect switch 56 after the battle loss image is displayed and the game ends. It becomes impossible to recognize whether or not the revival effect is executed.

  As a result, the slot machine that does not display the receiving image 571 or does not turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56 while accepting the operation of the effect switch 56, or accepts the operation of the effect switch 56. The game ends with the battle defeat image being displayed when the rehabilitation effect is executed in the next game while displaying the receiving image 571 or turning on the effect LED of the effect switch 56. The credibility of not winning the addition lottery of the ART when the battle defeat image is displayed rather than the slot machine that does not display the image 571 being received later or turn on the production LED of the production switch 56. The player can operate the production switch 56 after the game ends with the battle loss image displayed. In addition now entertain an interest, interest of the game can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, while the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, the currently-received image 571 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, a voice output indicating that the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted may be performed by the speakers 53 and 54, and only any two of these three types of outputs may be output, or only one type may be output. You may.
It should be noted that, like the present embodiment, it is preferable to display the receiving image 571 or turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56 regardless of whether or not the revival effect is executed in the next game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and since the revival effect is executed in the next game, the accepting image 571 is displayed or the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on when the operation of the effect switch 56 is not accepted. You don't have to. Further, even when the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, it is not necessary to display the receiving image 571 or turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 is restored when the player accepts the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. Perform the performance.
By doing so, the start switch is used as compared to the slot machine in which the start condition for the next game is not accepted by the player after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. The player comes to pay attention to the operation of 7, and the interest of the game is further improved.
In the present embodiment, the revival effect is executed when the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game by the player is accepted after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed, but the revival effect is executed. The start condition is not limited to this, and may be, for example, when the BET operation (the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 or the medal insertion) is received, or when the operation of the effect switch 56 is received.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 executes the battle effect for each game when the remaining ART is 10 games or less, and the state where the battle defeat image is displayed. After the game ends, the operation of the effect switch 56 is enabled and the character selection screen 561 can be displayed until the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted on condition that the battle effect is performed in the next game. Has become.
By doing this, if the character selection screen 561 is displayed and the ally character is changed after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed, the battle effect is executed by the ally character changed from the next game. Thus, the player can switch the mood from the next game.
Note that, in the present embodiment, the operation of the effect switch 56 can be activated and the character selection screen 561 can be displayed for each game as long as the battle effect is executed also in the next game, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, the operation of the effect switch 56 may be validated for each battle effect so that the character selection screen 561 can be displayed. In this case, if the battle effect is a continuous effect over a plurality of games, the operation of the effect switch 56 is enabled for each of the plurality of games where the battle effect ends, and the character selection screen 561 can be displayed.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends one type of internal winning command to the sub control unit 91, but may send a plurality of types of internal winning commands. For example, the main control unit 41, as the internal winning command that can specify the internal lottery result, the first internal winning command that can specify the winning situation of the special role as the internal lottery result, and the first internal winning command that can specify the winning situation of the general winning combination. The internal winning command of 2 may be set, and the set command may be transmitted to the sub control unit 91. At this time, regardless of whether or not the AT is controlled, when the winning combination is won, it is possible to specify that the winning combination is the winning combination, but to prevent the advantageous stop order from being specified. An internal winning command may be set.
By doing so, the common second internal winning command is transmitted regardless of whether or not the main control unit 41 is controlling the AT, so that the processing relating to the transmission of the second internal winning command can be performed. Since it is possible to simplify and the advantageous stop order according to the internal lottery result is not specified from the second internal winning command, it is advantageous for the player in a state where the sub-control unit 91 side is not controlled by the AT even if an illegality is made. It is possible to prevent the stop order from being notified by the navigation effect.

Further, in this case, the main control unit 41 sets a different winning number for each internal lottery result in the RAM according to the internal lottery result, and sets an internal winning flag, a navigation notification, a command according to the set winning number. The configuration may be such that creation, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, etc. are performed, and the winning number when the notification target combination is won as the internal winning result is within a predetermined numerical range (the push order replay as the notification target combination is Consecutive numerical values having a winning number of 2 to 19 and a push-push bell winning number of 23 to 34) may be assigned. At this time, the main control unit 41 determines that the winning number set in the RAM is in the predetermined numerical value range (2 to 19, 23 to 34) in a state other than the state in which the navigation is executed under the control of the AT. Is set, a second internal winning command that can specify that the winning combination has been notified but cannot specify a stop order that is advantageous for the player is set, and the second internal winning command that has been set is set to the sub-control unit 91. May be sent to.
By doing so, regardless of whether or not the main controller 41 controls the AT, the stop order advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result is specified from the second internal winning command. Therefore, even if the sub-control unit 91 is tampered with, it is possible to prevent the player from being informed of the stop order that is advantageous to the player in a state where the AT is not controlling the navigation order. Further, as the winning number set when the internal lottery result becomes the notification target combination, a continuous numerical value within a predetermined numerical range is assigned, and the main control unit 41 causes the internal lottery result to be the notification target combination. The second internal winning command is transmitted because it can be determined whether or not the winning number used when performing the predetermined control is within the predetermined numerical value range assigned to the notification target combination. The processing when doing can be simplified.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits the command capable of specifying the control state to the sub control unit 91 only once for each game, but may transmit the command multiple times. For example, the main control unit 41 receives the operation of the start switch 7 (at the start of the game) as the first timing in one unit of the game, and receives the third stop operation as the second timing (the end of the game). In some cases, a control state command including a plurality of types of commands that can specify the control state of the game on the main control unit 41 side may be transmitted to the sub control unit 91. At this time, the control state command is capable of specifying a control state that does not change at the first timing and the second timing, that is, a control state that does not change at a plurality of timings in one unit of the game. A control state command 2 as a state command and a control state that can change at the first timing and the second timing, that is, a control state that can change at a plurality of timings in one unit of the game. Control state command 1 as a control state command of the control state command, and the main control unit 41 executes the common control state command batch setting process at both the first timing and the second timing. All commands included in the command may be transmitted.
By doing so, the sub-control unit 91 side knows the control state on the main control unit 41 side in detail based on the control state command, and the process when the main control unit 41 transmits the control state command is performed. The program capacity for execution can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the operation procedure advantageous for the player can be identified by both the navigation notification controlled by the main control unit 41 side and the navigation effect controlled by the sub control unit 91 side. The operation procedure advantageous for the player may be identified only by the navigation effect controlled by the sub-control unit 91 side. Further, for example, by controlling the navigation effect controlled by the sub control unit 91 side by the main control unit 41 side, it is possible to identify the operation procedure advantageous for the player only by the navigation effect controlled by the main control unit 41 side. It can also be configured.
In the above-described embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs control related to ART and the like as a privilege advantageous to the player, but the sub-control unit 91 performs a part or all of the control related to the privilege advantageous to the player. It may be configured to perform.

In the above embodiment, the example in which the present invention is applied to the slot machine in which the bet number is set by using the medal and the credit as the game value is explained, but the bet number is set by using the game ball as the game value. The present invention may be applied to a slot machine for playing, or a full credit type slot machine in which a bet amount is set by using only credit as a gaming value.
Further, the present invention is not limited to the use of any one of a plurality of types of gaming values such as medals and gaming balls, and for example, a plurality of types of gaming values such as medals and gaming balls can be used together. May be That is, it is possible to set the bet number and play the game by using any of a plurality of types of gaming values such as medals and game balls, and a plurality of types of games such as medals and game balls when a winning occurs. A slot machine that can pay out any of the utility values may be applied.

  Further, although the slot machine is described as an example of the gaming machine in the above-described embodiment, the configuration disclosed in the above-described embodiment, particularly, the ART lottery process, the normal state game end process, the background image display process, the battle effect selection process, the battle A game is performed by projecting a performance execution process and a character selection process to another game machine, for example, by launching a game ball into a game area, and the launched game ball enters a winning opening provided in the game area.
