Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that plays a game.

As a game machine, a slot machine in which a predetermined number of bets is set and a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed based on a start operation, or a game medium such as a game ball is launched into a game area by a launching device. There are pachinko game machines and the like in which a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed when a game medium wins a prize in a starting area such as a winning opening provided in the game area.

As an example of such a game machine, the game history (for example, the number of executed games, the number of bonus winnings, the number of medals won in the bonus) stored based on the operation of the effect mode switching button by the player is displayed on the liquid crystal display 4. It is disclosed that a history display effect to be displayed is executed, or a continuous effect indicating whether or not a bonus is won is executed over a plurality of games (for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-023124

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, regardless of the stored game history, the continuous effect is executed based on whether or not the bonus is won, so that there is a problem that the continuous effect cannot be appropriately executed in the effect mode based on the game history.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game machine that improves the interest of a game by appropriately performing a specific notification.

(A) A game machine that plays games
Specific notification means capable of performing specific notification to the effect that the lottery has been won when the lottery is won to determine whether or not it is advantageous for the player.
The history of determining whether the control history until the lottery is won is the first history in which the number of times the lottery is not won is equal to or less than a predetermined number of times, or the second history in which the number of times exceeds the predetermined number of times. Equipped with a judgment means
The specific notification means can perform the specific notification by using the first notification means and the second notification means.
When the control history is determined to be the first history and the specific notification is performed, the notification mode of the first notification means is such that the control history is determined to be the second history and the specific notification is performed. Is the same as the notification mode of the first notification means when the above is performed, while
When the control history is determined to be the first history and the specific notification is performed, the notification mode of the second notification means is such that the control history is determined to be the second history and the specific notification is performed. Unlike the notification mode of the second notification means when
Further provided is a history initialization means for initializing the control history stored when the initialization condition based on the power supply to the game machine is stopped is satisfied.
(1) Another game machine is
A gaming machine that plays a game (for example, a slot machine 1, a pachinko gaming machine).
Specific notification (for example, AR) when a predetermined condition (for example, a condition for winning ART) is satisfied.
Specific notification means (for example, sub-control unit 9) that performs T winning notification effect, ART acquisition number notification effect)
Steps S208, S251 to S255, S261, S264, S265, executed by 1.
Processing of S504 to S511 and S601 to S606)
The control history until the predetermined condition is satisfied is the first history (for example, the history in which the number of games since the end of the previous ART is less than 50 games, and the history in which the number of ART lottery since the end of the previous ART is a specific number or less. , History of less than 10 games remaining in CZ, history of less than 50 games since the start of ART), or a second history that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first history.
History (for example, history of 50 games or more since the end of the previous ART, previous AR
History determination to determine whether the number of ART lottery times after the end of T exceeds a specific number, the number of CZ remaining games is 10 games or more, and the number of games since the start of ART is less than 50 games) Means (for example, steps S251, S261, S executed by the sub-control unit 91)
505, processing of S602)
When the control history is determined to be the second history, the specific notification means performs the specific notification in a notification mode different from that when the control history is determined to be the first history ( For example, the sub control unit 91 has steps S251 to S253, S261, S264, and S26.
5. The processes of S505 to S511 and S602 to S604 are executed).

According to such a configuration, when the control history is determined to be the second history, the specific notification is controlled more than the gaming machine which performs the specific notification in the same notification mode as when it is determined to be the first history. It can be performed in an appropriate notification mode according to the history, and the interest of the game is improved.

(2) In the game machine of (1) above
The notification mode of the specific notification when the control history is determined to be the second history is more than the notification mode of the specific notification when the control history is determined to be the first history. The second ART winning notification sound may be displayed in a mode that is less noticeable to the player than the first ART winning notification image 511 (for example, the second ART winning notification image 512 may be displayed in a mode that is less noticeable to the player. The 1 ART winning notification voice may be output in a less conspicuous manner for the player, and the 2nd ART winning notification illumination light may be output in a less conspicuous manner for the player than the 1st ART winning notification illumination light). ..

According to such a configuration, when it is determined that the control history is a second history that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first history, the specific notification can be performed in an appropriate notification mode according to the control history.

(3) In the game machine of (1) or (2) above
The specific notification means includes a plurality of types of notification means (for example, a liquid crystal display 51, an effect LED).
52, speakers 53, 54) perform the specific notification (for example, the sub-control unit 91 performs steps S252 to S255, S264, S265, S506 to S511, S603 to S6).
Execute the process of 06),
At least one notification means has a mode in which the notification mode when the control history is determined to be the second history is different from the notification mode when the control history is determined to be the first history. (For example, the second ART winning notification image 512 may be displayed in a display mode that is less noticeable to the player than the first ART winning notification image 511, and the second ART winning notification voice may be displayed for the first ART winning notification. The second ART winning notification illumination light may be output in a manner less noticeable to the player than the voice, and the second ART winning notification illumination light may be output in a manner less noticeable to the player than the first ART winning notification illumination light).

According to such a configuration, it is not necessary for the plurality of types of notification means to perform notification in different modes depending on whether the control history is the first history or the second history, so that the control history is the first. The control load can be reduced as compared with a game machine in which a plurality of types of notification means perform notification in different modes depending on whether it is a history or a second history.

(4) In any of the game machines (1) to (3) above,
The predetermined condition is satisfied when the lottery result of the predetermined lottery (for example, ART lottery, internal lottery) is advantageous to the player (for example, when the ART or bonus is won).
The history determination means determines that the control history is the first history when the number of lottery of the predetermined lottery is equal to or less than a specific number and gives the advantageous result, and the number of lottery of the predetermined lottery. May determine that the control history is the second history when the number of times exceeds the specific number of times and the advantageous result is obtained (for example, the number of lottery of ART by the sub control unit 91 is equal to or less than the specific number of times. It is judged that the history is advantageous for the player when the ART is won in
When the number of lottery of ART exceeds a specific number of times and the ART is won, it may be determined that the history is disadvantageous to the player).

According to such a configuration, when the lottery result of the predetermined lottery does not give a favorable result to the player continues up to the number of times exceeding the specific number of times, the specific notification can be performed in an appropriate notification mode.

(5) In any of the game machines (1) to (4) above,
When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the first state (for example, big bonus) or the first state
Further provided with a state control means (for example, a process in which the main control unit 41 controls the bonus state) for controlling a second state (for example, a regular bonus) that is more disadvantageous to the player than the state.
The history determining means determines that the control history is the first history when controlled to the first state, and the control history is determined to be the second history when controlled to the second state. It may be determined that there is (for example, when the sub control unit 91 wins the big bonus, it is determined that the history is advantageous to the player, and when the regular bonus is won, it is determined that the history is disadvantageous to the player. May be good).

According to such a configuration, the specific notification can be performed in an appropriate notification mode according to the state controlled when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

(6) In any of the game machines (1) to (5) above,
The predetermined condition is satisfied when the result of the game becomes a specific result after the predetermined start condition (for example, the condition for starting ART) is satisfied (for example, the number of medals to be paid out after the start of ART is 200). It is established when it becomes a sheet),
The history determination means determines that the control history is the first history when the period from the establishment of the predetermined start condition to the specific result is within the specific period, and the predetermined When the period from the establishment of the start condition to the specific result exceeds the specific period, it may be determined that the control history is the second history (for example, the sub-control unit 91 steps. The processes of S601 and S602 may be executed).

According to such a configuration, when the period from the establishment of the predetermined start condition to the specific result continues for a period exceeding the specific period, the specific notification can be performed in an appropriate notification mode.

(7) In any of the game machines (1) to (6) above,
Further, a history initialization means for initializing the control history stored when the initialization condition based on the power supply to the game machine is stopped (for example, the condition for the slot machine 1 to recover from power failure) is satisfied. (For example, the sub control unit 91 may be provided in steps S200 and S21.
You may execute the process of 2).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the specific notification from being performed in the notification mode according to the unintended control history based on the power supply to the game machine being stopped.

(8) In any of the game machines (1) to (7) above,
Specific determination means (for example, an internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 41) capable of making a specific determination (for example, cherry internal winning), and
Based on the said specific decision being made, a favorable condition for the player (eg, A).
Advantageous state determining means (for example, processing of steps S101 to S106 executed by the main control unit 41) capable of determining whether or not to control by RT), and
Based on the specific decision made, the ratio changing means (for example, the main control unit 41) capable of changing the ratio (for example, ART winning rate) that the advantageous state determining means makes a decision to control to the advantageous state In the process of step S102 to be executed, the process of performing the ART lottery using the ART lottery table in which the ART winning rate according to the value of the cherry winning number counter is set) and
Steps S200 to S2 executed by the specific effect executing means (for example, the sub-control unit 91) that executes the specific effect (for example, displays a special background image) based on the specific determination.
12 processes) and
An effect mode changing means for changing the effect mode of the specific effect based on the specific decision being made during the specific period (for example, 10 games since the previous cherry internal winning) in which the specific effect is being executed. For example, the processing of steps S205 and S206 executed by the sub-control unit 91)
And more
Even if it is suggested that at least one of the fact that the decision to control the advantageous state is made and the ratio of making the decision to control the advantageous state are changed by changing the effect mode of the specific effect. Good (for example, by updating the background image displayed by the sub control unit 91 to a special background image, the ART is won and the ART is ready, and at least the ART winning rate is increased. One may be suggested).

According to such a configuration, the player is made to decide to control the advantageous state or the ratio of making the decision to control the advantageous state is changed by changing the effect mode of the specific effect. Therefore, it is not suggested that the decision to control the advantageous state is made by changing the effect mode of the specific effect and the ratio of the decision to control the advantageous state is changed. The player can recognize the current situation rather than the machine, and the interest of the game is improved.

(9) In any of the game machines (1) to (8) above,
Specific state control means (for example, main control unit 41) that controls to a specific state (for example, ART)
Is a process of executing the processes of steps S104 to S106 and S150 to S156 to control the ART).
Advantageous situation determining means (for example, main control unit 4) for determining whether or not the situation is advantageous for the player (for example, winning by adding the number of ART games) when controlled to the specific state.
(Lottery process for adding the number of ART games executed by 1),
When controlled to the specific state, the specific effect executing means (for example, the sub control unit 91) executes a specific effect (for example, a battle effect) that can suggest that the determination to be in the advantageous situation has been made. Steps S301 to S307 and S351 to S360) are further provided.
The timing at which the specific effect is executed in the specific state includes the first timing (for example, when ART is from the remaining 10 games to the remaining 2 games) in which the control of the specific state continues even after the execution of the specific effect. , At least a second timing (for example, when ART is one game remaining) at which the control of the specific state ends after the execution of the specific effect is included.
The specific effect includes a first effect step (for example, after receiving a first stop operation or a second stop operation) and a second effect step after the first effect step (for example, a third stop operation). It is a production that can be progressed in multiple stages of production steps including at least (after reception of) (for example,
The battle production can proceed in multiple stages from the reception of the start switch 7 operation to the reception of the third stop operation),
In the suggestion mode of the specific effect, the first suggestion mode (for example, "battle effect (defeat 1A)", "battle effect (for example)" suggesting that the advantageous situation does not occur in the first effect step.
"Defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", "Battle production (defeat 2B)" production patterns) and a second suggestion mode (for example, suggesting that the advantageous situation does not occur in the second production step). , "Battle production (defeat 3A)", "battle production (defeat 3B)" production pattern), and a third suggestion mode (for example, "battle production" suggesting that the advantageous situation will be obtained in the second production step. (Victory A) ”,“ Battle production (Victory B) ”production pattern)
And at least included,
A decision is made at the first timing that does not result in the advantageous situation, and when the specific effect is executed, a decision is made at the second timing that does not result in the advantageous situation, as compared with the case where the specific effect is executed. The specific effect of the first suggestion mode may be executed at a high rate (for example, the sub-control unit 91 executes the processes of steps S301 to S307 and S351 to S360, and wins the lottery for adding the number of ART games. If there is no ART, the production pattern is selected using the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 12 (B) when the ART is from the remaining 10 games to the remaining 2 games, and only when the ART is the remaining 1 game, FIG. 12 The production pattern is selected using the second non-winning selection table shown in (C), and when ART is from 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining, the rate of "battle" is higher than when ART is 1 game remaining. You may execute the battle production by selecting the production steps of "Direction (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "Battle production (defeat 2B)").

According to such a configuration, a decision is made that the situation is not favorable to the second timing, and a decision is made that the situation is not favorable to the first timing when the specific effect is executed, compared to when the specific effect is executed. However, it becomes difficult to execute the specific effect in the first suggestion mode, and the player who recognizes that the current timing is the second timing in the specific state can execute the specific effect in the first suggestion mode, which is advantageous. Since it is difficult to lose the expectation of becoming a person in the first production step, it is decided that the situation will not be favorable to the first timing, and the situation will not be favorable to the second timing when the specific production is executed. A player's expectation can be maintained in a situation where the player pays more attention than a game machine that does not perform the specific effect in the first suggestion mode at a higher rate than when the specific effect is executed, and the interest of the game is improved. To do.

(10) In any of the game machines (1) to (9) above,
Specific state control means (for example, main control unit 41) that controls to a specific state (for example, ART)
Is a process of executing the processes of steps S104 to S106 and S150 to S156 to control the ART).
Advantageous situation determining means (for example, main control unit 4) for determining whether or not the situation is advantageous for the player (for example, winning by adding the number of ART games) when controlled to the specific state.
(Lottery process for adding the number of ART games executed by 1),
When controlled to the specific state, the specific effect executing means (for example, the sub control unit 91) executes a specific effect (for example, a battle effect) that can suggest that the determination to be in the advantageous situation has been made. Steps S301 to S307 and S351 to S360) are further provided.
The timing at which the specific effect is executed in the specific state includes the first timing (for example, when ART is from the remaining 10 games to the remaining 2 games) in which the control of the specific state continues even after the execution of the specific effect. , At least a second timing (for example, when ART is one game remaining) at which the control of the specific state ends after the execution of the specific effect is included.
The specific effect includes a first effect step (for example, after receiving a first stop operation or a second stop operation) and a second effect step after the first effect step (for example, a third stop operation). It is a production that can be progressed in multiple stages of production steps including at least (after reception of) (for example,
The battle production can proceed in multiple stages from the reception of the start switch 7 operation to the reception of the third stop operation),
In the suggestion mode of the specific effect, the first suggestion mode (for example, "battle effect (defeat 1A)", "battle effect (for example)" suggesting that the advantageous situation does not occur in the first effect step.
"Defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", "Battle production (defeat 2B)" production patterns) and a second suggestion mode (for example, suggesting that the advantageous situation does not occur in the second production step). , "Battle production (defeat 3A)", "battle production (defeat 3B)" production pattern), and a third suggestion mode (for example, "battle production" suggesting that the advantageous situation will be obtained in the second production step. (Victory A) ”,“ Battle production (Victory B) ”production pattern)
And at least included,
A decision is made at the second timing that does not result in the advantageous situation, and when the specific effect is executed, the specific effect of the second suggestion mode may be executed at a higher rate than that of the first suggestion mode. (For example, the sub control unit 91 has steps S301 to S307 and S351 to S3.
When the process of 60 is executed and the lottery for adding the number of games of ART is not won, the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 12B is used when ART is from 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining. The production pattern is selected, and the production pattern is selected using the second non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 12 (C) only when the ART has one game remaining, and when the ART has one game remaining, "Battle""Battle production (defeat 3A)" and "Battle production (defeat 3A)" at a higher rate than the production steps of "Direction (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", "Battle production (defeat 2B)" You may execute the battle production by selecting the production step of "Battle production (defeat 3B)").

According to such a configuration, it is determined that the situation is not favorable to the second timing, and when the specific effect is executed, it becomes more difficult to execute the specific effect in the first suggestion mode than in the specific effect in the second suggestion mode. , It is difficult for the player who recognizes that the current timing is the second timing in the specific state to lose the expectation that the specific effect is executed in the first suggestion mode and becomes an advantageous situation in the first effect step. Therefore, it is decided that the situation is not favorable to the second timing, and when the specific effect is executed, the player is more likely than the game machine that does not execute the specific effect of the second suggestion mode at a higher rate than the first suggestion mode. The player's expectation can be maintained in the situation of interest, and the interest of the game is improved.

(11) In any of the game machines (1) to (10) above,
A privilege granting means (for example, an ART game number addition lottery process executed by the main control unit 41) capable of granting a privilege (for example, the number of ART additional games), and
A specific effect (for example, a specific effect) that derives one of a success result (for example, a battle victory image) to the effect that the privilege has been granted and a failure result (for example, a battle defeat image) to the effect that the privilege has not been granted Specific effect execution means (for example, processing of steps S301 to S307 and S351 to S360 executed by the sub-control unit 91) for executing the battle effect)
When a predetermined operation (for example, operation of the effect switch 56) is performed by the player, a predetermined control means (for example, sub-control unit 91) capable of performing predetermined control (for example, display control of the character selection screen 561) can be performed. Further includes the processing of steps S401 to S419) executed by
The predetermined control means performs the predetermined control when the predetermined operation is performed after the failure result is derived by the specific effect, and the predetermined operation is performed after the success result is derived by the specific effect. Also does not perform the predetermined control (for example, the sub control unit 91 executes the process of step S401).
The derivation mode of the success result by the specific effect includes a specific derivation mode (for example, a revival effect) in which the success result is derived after the failure result is derived.
When the success result is derived in the specific derivation mode by the specific effect, the predetermined control means does not have to perform the predetermined control even if the predetermined operation is performed after the failure result is derived. For example, the sub-control unit 91 may execute the processes of steps S404 and S405).

According to such a configuration, if a predetermined operation is performed after the failure result is derived by the specific effect, the predetermined control is performed, and even if the predetermined operation is performed after the success result is derived by the specific effect, the predetermined control is performed. Since it is not performed, a game machine that performs a predetermined control when a predetermined operation is performed regardless of the effect result derived in the specific effect, or a predetermined operation even if the predetermined operation is performed regardless of the effect result derived in the specific effect. The player becomes more interested in performing a predetermined operation after the failure result is derived by a specific effect than in a game machine that is not controlled, and the interest of the game is improved. Further, according to such a configuration, when the success result is derived in the specific derivation mode by the specific effect, the predetermined control is not performed even if the predetermined operation is performed after the failure result is derived, so that the player can use the player. It can be recognized that the success result is derived in the specific derivation mode if the predetermined control is not performed even if the predetermined operation is performed when the failure result is derived. As a result, when the success result is derived by the specific effect in the specific derivation mode, if the predetermined operation is performed after the failure result is derived, the failure result is determined after the failure result is derived by the specific effect rather than the gaming machine that performs the predetermined control. The player becomes interested in performing the operation, and the interest of the game is improved.

[About setting values]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. For details, by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery described later,
The medal payout rate is changing. The set value is composed of 6 stages of 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate and decreasing the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, it is most advantageous for the player, and 5,
The smaller the value is in the order of 4, 3, 2, and 1, the lower the advantage is. The set value is 1
It may be set in 3 steps such as 3, 6, 1, 4, H (High), or in 7 steps 1 to 7.
It is not necessary to limit to 6 stages.

In order to change the set value, it is first necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37 with the front door 1b open. When the power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, the setting value read 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 is made by operating the reset / setting switch 38. It shifts to the setting change state (setting change mode) in which the value can be changed. 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 one by one (when further operation is performed from setting 6, when the setting is further operated).
Return to setting 1). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is fixed as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the confirmed display value (set value) is R.
It is stored in AM and shifts to a state where the game can proceed. At this time, a setting command (end) indicating the end of the setting change state is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, the address of the initialization target RAM at the end of the setting change is set, and the RAM is initialized. It should be noted that the set value may not be changed unless the front door 1b is open to prevent an illegal setting change when the front door 1b is not open. That is, the opening 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 set as the start conditions of the setting change state. In this case, the set value change state may be maintained regardless of the opening and closing of the front door 1b 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 of the setting change state, the opening and closing of the front door 1b does not have to be the end condition of the setting change state.

Further, in order to confirm the set value, after the game is finished, 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 setting value display 24 displays the setting value read from the RAM to enter the setting confirmation state (setting confirmation mode) in which the setting value can be confirmed. Transition.
In the setting confirmation state, the progress of the game is impossible, and by turning off the setting key switch 37, the setting confirmation state ends and the game returns to the state in which the progress is possible. As with the set value change state, the set value confirmation state also prevents the set value from being changed unless the front door 1b is open to prevent unauthorized setting confirmation when the front door 1b is not open. You may. That is, the opening of the front door 1b and the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37 may be the start conditions 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 and closing of the front door 1b does not have to be the end condition of the set value confirmation state.

[About navigation notification and navigation production]
Further, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, when the ART lottery process based on the internal lottery result is won, the main control unit 41 notifies the player of the stop order which is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result. A as an example of an advantageous state that is a feasible notification period
It can be controlled to RT (assist replay time). The main control unit 41 is ART
In the case of controlling to, the navigation target combination is won according to the game state to execute the navigation notification, and the push order command is sent to the sub control unit 91 to execute the navigation effect. Let me. The navigation target role according to the game state is, for example, a navigation target role in which push order replay and push order bell are common. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute the navigation notification and execute the navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in the normal state not controlled by the ART.

The navigation notification of the present embodiment informs the player in an identifiable stop order by changing the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. The mode of the navigation notification is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode that the player can identify according to the winning situation. Further, the game auxiliary display 12 which is also used for notifications other than the navigation notification is not limited to the one, and the one which is executed by using a dedicated display may be used. 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 LED 52, and the speaker 53. It is notified by the output of the navigation voice (navigation effect sound) from 54.

As described above, in the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the stop order that is advantageous for the player is notified in an identifiable manner. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is A when the lottery condition is satisfied.
A lottery will be held to determine whether or not to control the RT. Further, the main control unit 41 selects a predetermined number of games from a plurality of games at the end of ART, and continuously counts the number of games not controlled by ART from the end of ART. 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 the specified number of games (so-called ceiling games).

[About game control processing]
Further, the main control unit 41 performs a game control process to control one game. In the game control process, first, the bet number setting and the BET process for credit settlement / bet number settlement are performed, and after the bet number setting, when the start operation is performed, whether or not to allow the generation of winning by random number lottery is performed. An internal lottery process to determine is performed. After the internal lottery, the reel rotation process is performed, and on the condition that the specified period (4.1 seconds) has passed from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game, the stop switch after the reel rotation starts and the speed becomes constant. The operation of 8L to 8R (stop operation) is enabled, 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, the payout process is performed, medals are paid out or credits are added according to the occurrence of the winning, and the game state is changed according to the symbol combination on the winning line. As a result, the game control process for one game is completed, and the game control process for the next game is started.

[About production during the game]
Further, the main control unit 41 performs the ART lottery process while the internal lottery process is being executed, and A
When the RT is won, the ART is controlled, and the navigation notification and the navigation effect are controlled during the assigned number of ART navigation stocks. The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment performs navigation notification when the navigation target combination is internally elected during ART control, and also transmits a game state command, an internal lottery command, etc. to the sub control unit 91 for sub control. Let the part 91 execute the navigation effect. In the present embodiment, an internal lottery is performed immediately after the start switch 7 is operated during ART control, and if the winning combination is internally won, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed before the reel rotation process. Is done. That is, if the navigation target combination is internally elected during ART control, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed immediately after the operation of the start switch 7. Also,
In the present embodiment, the period from the start of the reel rotation to the constant speed rotation and the activation of the stop operation (invalid period of the stop operation) is 1 from the time when the navigation notification or the navigation effect is performed, unless the wait is in progress. It is preset to be controlled for a predetermined period of less than a second.
Further, the sub control unit 91 is based on various commands received from the main control unit 41, and is used to incite the above-mentioned navigation effects and various effects according to the game state (for example, a notice effect, an internal winning suggestion effect, a battle effect, etc.). It is possible to perform production, bonus confirmation production, bonus production, navigation production, demo production).

[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
As an example of the special determination, it is determined whether or not the cherry has been internally elected (step S101).
In the present embodiment, the ART lottery (predetermined lottery) is performed when the cherry is internally won, and the ratio of the cherry being internally won (winning rate) is set in advance to be 1/60.
When the main control unit 41 has not won the cherry internally (step S101; N), the process of step S101 is repeated and the cherry has been internally won (step S101; N).
), An ART lottery is performed using the ART lottery table shown in FIG. 6 (step S102).
+1 is added to the value of the cherry winning count counter (step S103), and it is determined whether or not the ART has been won (step S104).

Here, the cherry winning count counter is a counter (counting means) that counts the number of times the cherry has been internally won, and +1 is added each time the cherry is internally won from the initial value of 0, and the number of remaining games described later. When the counter reaches 0, it is reset to 0. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the ART lottery table is a table in which the winning rate when drawing ART is set. In the ART lottery table of the present embodiment, the winning rate of ART 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 counter is 1, the ART winning rate is 50% (1/2), and when the cherry winning counter value is 2, the ART winning rate is 100.
It is preset to be% (1/1).

Returning to FIG. 5, when the main control unit 41 wins the ART (step S104; Y),
The ART winning flag is set to on (step S105), and the process ends. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not win 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 digested. That is, the remaining game number counter is set with a value of +10 when the cherry is internally won, and counts down for each game to count 10 games after the cherry is internally won.

Further, the main control unit 41 is shown in FIG. 7 when the gaming state is the normal state (normal gaming state).
Performs the normal state game end processing shown in. The main control unit 41 adds +1 to the value of the non-ART game number counter after executing each process at the end of the game (not shown) (step S14).
9) By determining whether or not the value of the remaining game number counter is set to +10, it is determined whether or not the remaining game number counter has been updated in the ART lottery process (step S1).
50). Here, the non-ART game number counter is the next AR after the previous ART is completed.
It is a counter (counting means) that counts the number of games until the start of T. The initial value is 0, +1 is added for each game after the end of ART, and it becomes 0 when the next ART is started. It will be reset. 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 increase the value of the remaining game counter
When set to 10 (step S150; Y), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the value of the remaining game number counter has become 0, and 10 since the last internal winning of the cherry.
It is determined whether or not the game has elapsed (step S152).

When the value of the remaining game number counter is not 0 in the main control unit 41 (step S)
152; N), when the process is completed and the value of the remaining game counter becomes 0 (step S).
152; Y), reset the cherry winning count counter to 0 (step S153), AR
It is determined whether or not the T 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 ART.
When the winning flag is on (step S154; Y), the ART winning flag is reset to off (step S155), ART control is started (step S156), and the non-ART game count counter is reset to 0 (step). S157), the process is terminated. Here, AR
The T winning flag is a flag indicating whether or not the ART has been won, and the initial value is off.
It turns on when you win the ART and resets it off when you start controlling the ART.

Further, the sub control unit 91 performs the background image display process shown in FIG. 8 when the gaming state is the normal state (normal gaming state). First, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the main control unit 41 has received the return command to be transmitted when the main control unit 41 has recovered from the power failure or the setting command (end) to be transmitted after the setting has been changed. Determines whether or not has recovered from the power failure (step S200). When the sub-control unit 91 recovers from the power failure (step S200)
Y), based on the control state stored in the backup area of the RAM, the background image of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 before the power failure is shown in FIGS. 10 (B) to 10 (D). It is determined whether or not the special background image is 522-524 (step S201). In order to control in this way, the RAMs of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment provide a backup storage area capable of holding the storage contents by being supplied with power by the backup power supply. When a power failure is detected based on the output of the power failure detection circuit, the control status 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 The value of the winning count counter, the value of the remaining game counter, etc. are stored in the backup storage area, respectively, and when the power supply to the slot machine 1 is started, the control state at the time when the power failure is detected can be restored. You can do it.

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays a background image of any of a plurality of types of background images (521 to 524) based on the value of the cherry winning number counter. In particular,
The sub-control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 shown in FIG. 10 (A) when the value of the cherry winning count counter is 0, and is shown in FIG. 10 (B) when the value of the cherry winning count counter is 1. The special background image (high probability 1) 522 is displayed, and when the value of the cherry winning count counter is 2, the special background image (high probability 2) 523 shown in FIG. 10 (C) is displayed, and the value of the cherry winning counter. When is 3 or more, the special background image (confirmed) 524 shown in FIG. 10 (D) 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 (confirmed) 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, respectively.
Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 has a special background image 52 that is different from the normal background image 521 before the power failure.
It is determined whether or not any of 2 to 524 is displayed.

Returning to FIG. 8, when any of the special background images 522 to 524 was displayed before the power failure, the sub control unit 91 turns off the background image update flag (step S2).
02), the normal background image 521 shown in FIG. 10 (A) is displayed as the background image to be displayed after the power failure is restored (step S203), and the non-ART game number counter is reset to 0 (step S212). 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 to be displayed after the power failure is restored is the special background image 522 before the power failure. It turns off when changing from ~ 524 to normal background image 521, and resets on when starting ART control. 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 S203). The non-ART game number counter is reset to 0 (step S212).

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the background image update flag is on (step S204) when the power failure is not restored (step S200; N). The sub control unit 91
When the background image update flag is on (step S204; Y), it is determined whether or not the cherry winning count counter has been updated (step S205). In order to control in this way, the sub control unit 91 is provided with a cherry winning count counter like the main control unit 41, and is combined with 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 count 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 updating the background image and resetting the non-ART game count counter, or after displaying the normal background image 521 from the power failure recovery, the sub control unit 91 is based on the control state command received from the main control unit 41. , Determine whether ART control has been started (step S)
207). In order to control in this way, the main control unit 41 transmits a control state command not only at the start of the game but also at the end of the game. When the ART control is not started (step S207; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process and the ART control is started (step S207; Y), the sub-control unit 91 wins the ART shown in FIG. 9 to be described later. The notification effect execution process is executed (step S208), and the background image update flag is reset to on (step S2).
09), the process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the cherry winning count counter is not updated (step S205; N), the sub-control unit 91 does not have the meter image 531 whose background image is shown in FIGS. 10 (B) to 10 (D). It is determined whether or not the background image is 521 (step S210). Here, the meter image 531 is an image included in the special background image 522-524, and is a meter indicating the scale amount according to the value of the remaining game number counter in order to count down the 10 games from the cherry internal winning. It is an image. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays a meter image of 100% (10 scales) as the meter image 531 if the value of the remaining game counter is +10, and the value of the remaining game counter is subtracted by 1. An image of the meter reduced by 10% (1 scale) is displayed each time it is performed (see FIGS. 10 (B) to 10 (D)). In order to control in this way, the sub control unit 91 has the value of the remaining game number counter like the main control unit 41, and the main control unit 41 and the main control unit 41 based on the command received from the main control unit 41. Similarly, the value of the remaining game counter is updated.
Returning to FIG. 8, when the sub-control unit 91 is a normal background image 521 without the meter image 531 (step S210; Y), the process is completed and the special background image 52 with the meter image 531 is present.
In the case of 2 to 524 (step S210; N), the display is updated so as to reduce the meter image 531 of the special background image 522 to 524 by one game (one scale) (step S211), and the process ends. To do.

[About ART winning notification production]
Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs the ART winning notification effect execution process shown in FIG. 9 when the ART control is started. The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the value of the non-ART game number counter before being reset is 50 or more, that is, whether or not 50 games (specified number of times) or more have passed since the end of the previous ART. Is determined (step S251). The sub control unit 91
When less than 50 games have passed since the end of the previous ART (step S251)
N), the first ART winning notification image 511 shown in FIG. 10 (E) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (step S252), and 50 games or more have passed since the previous ART was completed (step S252).

When executing the resurrection effect (step S404; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the start switch 7 of the next game has been operated (step S405). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated by the sub control unit 91 (step S4).
05; N), the process of step S405 is repeated until the operation is performed, and when the start switch 7 of the next game is operated (step S405; Y), the accepting image 571 is hidden (step S409). , The effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off (step S410), the reception of the operation of the effect switch 56 is invalidated (step S411), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the revival effect (step S404; Y), the sub-control unit 91 enables the reception of the operation of the effect switch 56 (step S406), and determines whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted. Determine (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 has been performed (step S408). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated by the sub control unit 91 (step S).

The processes of 09 to S411 are executed, and the processes are terminated.

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. 19 (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. Character selection screen 5 of this embodiment
As shown in FIG. 19, 61 is each image of ally character A, ally character B, and ally character C and 1
The image of the frame surrounding the type of ally character and "Please select the ally character for battle production", "
It is a screen including the character images of "select with the cross key switch" and "determine with the effect switch".

Returning to FIG. 18, the sub-control unit 91 hides the character selection screen 561 (step S414) when the start switch 7 of the next game is operated (step S413; Y).
), The processes of steps S409 to S411 described above are executed, and the processes are terminated. On the other hand, when the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (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 selection operation of the ally character. Determine (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 steps. Returning to the process of S413, when the selection operation is not accepted (step S415; Y), it is determined whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted as the determination operation of the ally character (step S417).

When the determination operation is not accepted (step S415; N), the sub control unit 91
Returning to the process of step S413, the process of steps S413, S415, and S417 is repeated until any operation of the start switch 7 of the next game, the selection operation, or the determination operation is performed. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives a determination operation (step S415;
Y), set to perform a battle effect with the selected ally character (step S418), hide the character selection screen 561 (step S419), return to the process of step S407, and display the image 571 of the battle defeat image being accepted. The process of steps S407 and S408 is repeated until the effect switch 56 is operated again in the displayed state and the character selection screen 561 is displayed or the start switch 7 of the next game is operated.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 uses a non-ART game number counter to set the number of games from the end of the previous ART to the start of control of the next ART. It is counting, and when the ART control is started, the ART notification effect execution process is executed. In the ART notification effect execution process, the sub-control unit 91 displays the first ART winning notification image 511 shown in FIG. 10 (E) when less than 50 games have passed since the end of the previous ART. When 50 games or more have passed since the end of the previous ART, the second ART winning notification image 512 shown in FIG. 10 (F) is displayed. As a result,
When the control history of the slot machine 1 since the end of the previous ART is a history that is disadvantageous to the player (second history), the ART is performed by the second ART winning notification image 512, which is different from the first ART winning notification image 511. Will be notified of the winning.
By doing this, the same AR will be used regardless of the number of games since the last ART was completed.
T Winning of ART The previous A was won rather than the game machine that executes the winning notification effect and notifies the winning of ART.
It is possible to notify in an appropriate production mode (notification mode) according to the number of games after the end of RT, and the interest of the game is improved.
In the present embodiment, as an example of the specific information for specifying the control history, it is determined whether or not the control history of the slot machine 1 is advantageous for the player based on the value of the non-ART game number counter. However, the control history is not limited to this, for example, the control history is specified based on the player's game history information stored for each player on the management server after being accumulated during the period in which the player has played the game. May be determined whether or not is an advantageous history.

In particular, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the second ART winning notification image 512 is
The display area of the character image that notifies the number of ART games given is smaller than that of the first ART winning notification image 511 because it contains an image in which the ally character makes a modest remark than the first ART winning notification image 511. There is. That is, the second ART winning notification image 512 is the first
It is displayed in a manner that is less noticeable to the player than the ART winning notification image 511.
By doing so, when the control history of the slot machine 1 since the end of the previous ART is a history that is disadvantageous to the player, the second ART winning notification image 512 is used to A.
The RT winning notification effect can be notified of the winning of the ART in an appropriate effect mode.
It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, when the control history of the slot machine 1 is a history that is disadvantageous to the player, the ART winning notification is less noticeable to the player than when the history is advantageous (first history). It is preferable to execute the effect, but the control history of the slot machine 1 is not limited to this, and the ART winning notification is more noticeable to the player than when the control history of the slot machine 1 is a history that is disadvantageous to the player. You may perform the production.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the ART winning notification effect by the liquid crystal display 51, the sound output by the speakers 53 and 54, and the effect effect LE.
This is performed using an illumination light output such as D52. Then, the sub-control unit 91 has the same AR for audio output and illumination light output regardless of the number of games since the end of the previous ART.
While outputting T-winning audio and ART-winning illumination light, the previous AR for image display
The ART winning notification images (first ART winning notification image 511, second ART winning notification image 512) are displayed, in which the number of games after the end of T is different depending on the number of games.
By doing so, only the ART winning notification image may be changed depending on whether the control history of the slot machine 1 since the end of the previous ART is advantageous or disadvantageous to the player, and is used for ART winning. Since it is not necessary to change the voice and the illumination light for ART winning, the production pattern of each production means is different from that of the slot machine that changes not only the image for notification of ART winning but also the voice for ART winning and the illumination light for ART winning. Since the number can be reduced, the storage capacity can be reduced and the control load can be reduced.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the ART winning notification effect after finishing the previous ART and winning the next ART, and the previous ART is executed.
When less than 50 games have passed since the end of, it is determined that the control history of the slot machine 1 is advantageous for the player, and the first ART winning notification image 511 is displayed, while the previous ART is displayed. When 50 games or more have passed since the end, it is determined that the control history of the slot machine 1 is a history that is disadvantageous to the player, and the second ART winning notification image 5
12 is displayed.
By doing so, the period until the ART is re-winned becomes long, and when 50 games or more are continued after the previous ART is finished, the ART winning notification effect is appropriately performed by using the second ART winning notification image 512. It can be executed in various production modes.
In the present embodiment, whether or not the control history of the slot machine 1 is advantageous for the player depending on whether or not 50 games or more have passed from the end of the previous ART to the control by the next ART. However, it is not limited to this, for example, the next AR from the end of the previous ART.
It may be determined whether or not the number of ART lottery times is equal to or more than a specific number of times before the T winning.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 resets the non-ART game number counter to 0 when the power is restored.
By doing so, for example, as a result of the game store closing after 50 games or more have passed since the end of the previous ART, the first player on the next business day is replaced by the last player on the previous business day. Even if it is done, the non-ART game count counter will be reset when the power is turned on the next business day (when the power is restored), so if ART control is started in less than 50 games after the store opens, the first AR
The T winning notification image 511 will be displayed, and it is possible to prevent the second ART winning notification image 512 from being displayed even though the ART control is started in less than 50 games after the store is opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ART winning notification effect from being executed in an effect mode according to the unintended control history of the slot machine 1 based on the power failure.
In addition, as in the present embodiment, in order to prevent the ART winning notification effect from being executed in the effect mode according to the unintended control history of the slot machine 1 based on the power failure, the sub control unit 91
It is preferable to reset the non-ART game number counter to 0 when the power is restored.
It is not necessary to reset the non-ART game number counter to 0 when the power is restored.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the main control unit 4
In 1, the ratio of internally winning the cherry when the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted is 1 /.
The internal lottery process is executed so as to be 60. Further, the main control unit 41 performs the first ART lottery so that the winning rate becomes 1/8 (normal probability) when the cherry is internally won at a rate of 1/60 in the normal state. At this time, the sub control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 as the background image of the effect. Further, at this time, if the ART is not won, the main control unit 41 changes the ART winning rate between the next game and 10 games to 1/2 (high probability 1), and the sub control unit 91 changes the background image. The display of is changed to a special background image (high probability 1) 522.
Although not shown, when the ART is won in the first ART lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the ART confirmation state (ART preparation state) between the next game and 10 games.
The sub-control unit 91 changes the display of the background image to the special background image (high probability 1) 522.

In addition, when the main control unit 41 internally wins the cherry at a rate of 1/60 during 10 games, the main control unit 41 draws the second ART with a winning rate of 1/2 (high probability 1). At this time, ART
If the game is not won, the main control unit 41 changes the ART winning rate between the next game to 10 games to 1/1 (high probability 2), and the sub control unit 91 displays the background image as a special background image. (High probability 2) Change to 523. Although not shown, when the ART is won in the second ART lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the ART to the confirmed state until 10 games have passed since 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 2) 523. In addition, when the main control unit 41 internally wins the cherry at a rate of 1/60 in 10 games, the main control unit 41 draws the third ART with a winning rate of 1/1 (high probability 2) to become ART. Let me win. At this time, the main control unit 41 controls the ART preparation state until 10 games have elapsed since the previous cherry internal winning, and the sub control unit 91 changes the display of the background image to the special background image (fixed) 524.

By doing so, by changing the background image of the production, 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 as one side, the player can recognize the current situation more than the slot machine, which does not suggest that the ART winning rate and the ART winning rate will be high due to the change of the background image of the production. The interest is improved.
In this embodiment, the ART lottery is performed only when the cherry is internally won, but the lottery is not limited to this, and for example, a bonus, another rare role such as a watermelon, or a small role such as a normal bell or a normal replay. You may also draw an ART lottery when you win. In this case, the ART winning rate may be set at a different rate depending on the small winning combination that was internally won.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the number of times the main control unit 41 internally wins the cherry again within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry increases (the value of the cherry winning counter increases). The ART winning rate is increasing.
By doing so, a game in which the suggestion content of the background image can be recognized as compared with the slot machine in which the ART winning rate does not increase as the number of times the cherry is internally won again increases in 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning. After the person is changed to the special background image, he will pay attention to whether or not he will win the cherry internally for 10 games, and the fun of the game will be 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 times the cherry is internally won again increases within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry, but the ART winning rate is not limited to this, for example. , The ART winning rate may be lowered as the number of times the cherry is internally won again in 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning. Further, for example, the ART winning rate may be changed to an arbitrary ratio each time the cherry is internally won again within 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning. That is, the ART winning rate may be drawn every time the cherry is internally won again within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 has a special background image 52.
The meter image 531 is displayed when 2 to 524 are displayed, and the player can recognize the number of remaining games of 10 games since the previous cherry internal winning.
According to such a configuration, a player who can recognize the suggestion content rather than a slot machine which cannot recognize the number of remaining games of 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry wins the cherry again for 10 games. You will pay attention to whether or not the game will be more interesting.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the meter image 531 while displaying the special background image 522-524, but the effect of making it possible to specify the number of remaining games is not limited to this. For example, 10 production LEDs are provided to light the number of production LEDs according to the number of remaining games, the number of remaining games is output by voice by the speakers 53 and 54, and a plurality of these three types of outputs are used. It may be identifiable.
As in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 preferably displays the meter image 531 when displaying the special background image 522-524, but is not limited to this, and displays the meter image 531. 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 switch is restored by operating the setting key switch 37 and the power switch 39 by a clerk of a game store or the like with the front door 1b open. It is possible to change the set value by shifting to the change mode. Further, the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 include a RAM in which a backup storage area in which the storage contents are held by the backup power supply is set, and the control state is set when a power failure is detected at the time of recovery from the power failure. It is possible to restore, and the background image of the production can be restored,
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 draws an ART at the ART winning rate based on the value of the returned cherry winning number counter, or remains based on the value of the returned ART winning flag and the value of the remaining game number counter. When the number of games counter becomes 0, it is possible to control the winning ART. 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 the cherry is won.
By doing so, when a power failure occurs for 10 games after displaying the special background image 522-524, the special display before the power failure is displayed only when the set value is changed when the power failure 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 where a plurality of slot machines 1 are installed, the power of all slot machines 1 is turned off (power cut) after the store is closed, and the power of all slot machines 1 is turned on (power cut) when the store is opened. Return), and consider the case where the setting of the slot machine 1 is changed before the store opens. For example, before the store opens, one of the 20 slot machines 1 is changed to a lower setting than the previous business day, and the other is changed to a higher setting than the previous business day every business day. Think about the case where you are. If the player can identify the slot machine 1 that has been changed to the high setting (
Since there is a high possibility that the net increase in medals can be increased (if it can be identified), the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed is specified. Therefore, if the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed can be identified, 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 decrease.

Further, in the conventional 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 production mode is returned from the special production mode to the normal production mode. For this reason, the player intentionally ends the game in a state of being controlled to a bonus state or a special production mode when the store is closed, and the bonus state returns to the normal state on the next business day.
There is a problem that it is specified whether or not the setting has been changed by returning the special production mode to the normal production mode, and as described above, the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 of the amusement store decreases. There was a risk.
On the other hand, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the background image to be displayed after the power failure is restored is the normal background image 521 regardless of whether or not the setting is changed at the time of the power failure recovery. Therefore,
Even if the background image displayed before the power failure is the special background image 522-524, the normal background image 521 is always displayed as the background image after the power failure is restored, so that the player can recover the power failure. The background image makes it impossible to identify that the set value was changed when the power was restored. For this reason,
It becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the set value has been changed when the power is restored, and the decrease in the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 of the game store can be reduced.

As in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the sub-control unit 91 sets the background image to be displayed after the power failure recovery to the normal background image 521 regardless of whether or not the setting is changed at the time of the power failure recovery. 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 set 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 before the power failure may be displayed after the power failure, and when the setting is not changed when the power failure is restored, the normal background image 521 is displayed after the power failure is restored and the setting is changed when the power failure is restored. Occasionally, the background image before the power failure may be displayed after the power failure is restored.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main control unit 41 controls the ART, if the remaining ART is 10 games or less, the number of ART games is added to the lottery for each game. In addition, when the number of ART remaining games is 10 or less, the sub-control unit 91 adds the number of ART games for each game and executes a battle effect to fuel the winning. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 has "battle production (victory A)" and "battle production (victory B)" as production patterns for battle production.
, "Battle production (defeat 1A) to revival production (victory 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)"
Resurrection production (win 1B) "," Battle production (defeat 2A) to revival production (win 2A) ",
"Battle production (defeat 2B) to resurrection production (victory 2B)", "Battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (victory 3A)", "Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B)", "Battle "Direction (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)",
"Battle production (defeat 2B)", "Battle production (defeat 3A)", "Battle production (defeat 3B)"
Select from 14 types of production patterns and execute.

In the present embodiment, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 1A)" and "battle production (defeat 1B)" are the battle start image 54 after receiving the operation of the start switch 7 and the first stop operation.
The images 1, 552, and the first battle defeat image 543 are displayed in this order to indicate that the battle was defeated after the battle production was advanced, and the lottery was not won by adding the number of ART games. Further, in the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)", the battle start images 541 and 552 are performed after the start switch 7 operation, the first stop operation, and the second stop operation are accepted.
, The first battle continuation image 542 and the second battle defeat image 545 are displayed in this order to indicate that the battle was defeated after the battle production was advanced, and the lottery was not won by adding the number of ART games. In addition, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" are the battle start images after the start switch 7, the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation are accepted. 541, 552, 1st battle continuation image 542, 2nd battle continuation image 54
4. The third battle defeat image 547 is displayed in this order to indicate that the battle was defeated after the battle production was advanced, and the lottery was not won by adding the number of ART games. on the other hand. "Battle production (
"Victory A)" and "Battle production (Victory B)" are the battle start images 541, 552, and the first battle continuation image after the start switch 7, the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation are accepted. 542, the second battle continuation image 544, and the third battle victory image 546 are displayed in this order to indicate that the battle is won and the number of ART games is added to the lottery after the battle production is advanced.

Further, if the sub-control unit 91 has not won the lottery for adding the number of ART games, the sub-control unit 91 has ART
Selects the production pattern using the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 12 (B) when there are 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining, and only when ART is 1 game remaining, FIG. 12 (C)
The effect pattern is selected using the second non-winning selection table shown in. Then, in the first non-winning selection table, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)",
The selection rate of the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 2A)" and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" is 2.
While it is set to 0%, 25%, 15%, and 20%, respectively, in the second non-winning selection table, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", " The selection rate of the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)" is all set to 0%. That is, when the number of ART games is not added and the lottery is not won, when ART is from 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining, "battle production (defeat 1A)" and "defeat 1A" are performed at a higher rate than when ART is 1 game remaining. Battle production (defeat 1B) "," Battle production (defeat 2)
The production steps of "A)" and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" are selected.

By doing this, if the battle effect is executed when the number of ART games is added and the lottery is not won, when ART is 1 game remaining, ART is remaining 10 games to 2 remaining.
It is suggested that the lottery for adding the number of ART games was not won after the reception of the first stop operation and the second stop operation than before the game, and it becomes difficult to lose the expectation for the ART additional winning at an early stage. As a result, when the number of ART games is not added and the lottery is not won, when ART is from 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining, "battle production (defeat 1A)" is performed at a higher rate than when ART is 1 game remaining. "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)"
) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2B) ”is selected and the battle production is not executed. The remaining 1 game of ART that the player who recognizes the remaining number of games of ART pays attention to is more than the slot machine. The expectation of the player can be maintained, and the interest of the game is improved.

In the present embodiment, when the number of ART games remaining is 10 or less, the lottery is always performed with a winning rate of 20% regardless of the internal lottery result, but the lottery is not limited to this, and the ART is not limited to this. When the remaining 10 games or less, the lottery may be performed by adding the number of ART games at different winning rates. For example, the lottery may be performed at different winning rates depending on the result of the internal lottery. At this time, when the rare role such as cherry or watermelon is internally won, compared to when the normal small role such as bell or replay is internally won. The winning rate may be high. Further, for example, the lottery may be performed with different winning rates depending on the number of remaining games. At this time, the remaining 10 games (1st game), the remaining 9 games (2nd game), ..., The remaining 1 game (10th game) ) And the winning rate may increase as the number of remaining games decreases. Further, for example, the lottery may be performed at different winning rates according to the number of games given at the time of winning, and at this time, the larger the number of games given at the time of winning (the more advantageous ART), the more the winning. The rate may be higher. In the present embodiment, the lottery is performed by adding the number of ART games at a winning rate of 20% over 10 games, and about 89.3% (1- (0.8) ¹⁰ = 89.262 ...). The number of additional games of ART is won at the rate of, and ART is continued. However, the continuation rate of ART is not limited to this, and may be as low as about 20%, for example. In order to do so, when lottery is performed with different winning rates, each winning rate may be adjusted so as to have a preset continuation rate. In addition, when lottery is performed at different winning rates according to the internal lottery result, the winning selection table, the first non-winning selection table, and the second are provided for each internal lottery result (for each small winning combination internally won).
The effect pattern may be selected by using the non-winning selection table. By doing so, for example, when the rare role is internally won, a production pattern in which the battle production continues until after the third stop can be selected at a higher rate than when the normal small role is internally won, or the normal small role can be selected. It is possible to make adjustments such as making it easier for the revival effect to be executed while it is difficult for the battle effect to continue until after the third stop by winning the role internally.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second non-winning selection table, the selection rate of the production steps of the production steps of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" is 30. % And 70% are set respectively, and if the number of ART games is not won in the lottery and there is only one game left in the ART, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3A)" at a higher rate than the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)"
The production step of "B)" is selected.
By doing so, if the battle effect is executed when the ART has only one game left and the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won, the first one before the reception of the third stop operation is performed.
It is suggested that the lottery for adding the number of ART games was not won after the stop operation and the second stop operation are accepted, and it becomes difficult to lose the expectation for the ART additional winning at an early stage. As a result, AR
"Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", "Battle" when ART is 1 game remaining when the number of games of T is not won in the lottery The rest of the ART than the slot machine where the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 3A)" and "Battle production (defeat 3B)" are selected at a higher rate than the production step of "Production (defeat 2B)" and the battle production is not executed. In the situation where the player who recognizes the number of games has only one game left in the ART, the player's expectation can be maintained, and the interest of the game is improved.

In this embodiment, when the number of remaining games is 10 or less, the number of ART games is added and a lottery is performed to execute the battle effect. However, the number of remaining games is not limited to 10 or less, and the number of remaining games is arbitrary. The number of ART games may be added to the lottery to perform a battle effect. For example, when the remaining 5 games or less or the remaining 15 games or less, a lottery may be performed by adding the number of ART games to execute the battle effect.
In this embodiment, when the number of ART games is not added and the lottery is not won, the production of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" is performed at a high rate when ART is 1 game remaining. Although the step is selected, the number of remaining games that the player pays attention to is not limited to the remaining 1 game, for example, the remaining 3 games or less, the specific number of games such as the remaining 5 games, and the number of remaining games. May be a multiple of 3 (9 games remaining, 6 games remaining, 3 games remaining).

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second non-winning selection table, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)",
The selection rate of the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 2B)" is set to 0%. That is, if the number of ART games is not added to the lottery and there is only one game left in the ART, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)"
) ”And“ Battle production (defeat 2B) ”are not selected.
By doing this, if you have not won the lottery to add the number of ART games, and there is only one game left, "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)" The player who recognizes the number of remaining games of ART is paying attention to the ART rather than the slot machine where the production steps of "Defeat 2A)" and "Battle production (Defeat 2B)" are selected and the battle production may be executed. With only one game left, the player's expectation can be maintained, and the interest of the game is improved.

In addition, as in this embodiment, when the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won, AR
"Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", when T has 1 game left,
It is preferable that the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are not selected, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the lottery for adding the number of ART games is won. If there is not 1 game left, "Battle production (defeat 1A)"
) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 1B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2A) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2B) ”the production steps are“ Battle production (defeat 3A) ”and“ Battle production (defeat 3B).
May be selected at a lower rate than the production step of.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the battle effects are "battle effect (victory A)" in which the enemy character A is displayed, "battle effect (defeat 1A) to resurrection effect (victory 1A)",
"Battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (victory 2A)", "Battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (victory 3A)", "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 2A)",
"Battle production (defeat 3A)" production pattern, "battle production (victory B)", "battle production (defeat 1B) to revival production (victory 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2B) revival production (defeat 2B)"
Victory 2B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B)
It is possible to select from any of the production patterns of "defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2B)", and "battle production (defeat 3B)".

Here, in the present embodiment, the winning rate of the lottery for adding the number of ART games for each game is 20%.
Since it is set to, the ratio of winning the ART and selecting the production pattern using the winning selection table shown in FIG. 12 (A) is 20%, and the first non-winning selection table without winning the ART. Alternatively, the rate at which the effect pattern is selected using the first non-winning selection table is 80%. In particular, if you do not win the ART, the number of remaining games is the first with 10 to 2 games.
72% (0.8 x 0.9) of the production patterns are selected using the non-winning selection table.
= 0.72), the ratio of the effect pattern selected using the second non-winning selection table with one game remaining is 8% (0.8 × 0.1 = 0.08).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), the ratio of each production pattern selected when ART is 10 games or less is 6% (0.3 ×) for “battle production (winning A)”. 0.2 =
0.06), "Battle production (winning B)" is 4% (0.2 x 0.2 = 0.04). In addition, "Battle production (defeat 1A) to revival production (win 1A)" was 3% (0.15 x 0.2 =
0.03), the selection rate of "Battle production (defeat 1B) to resurrection production (win 1B)" is 2% (0)
.. 15 × 0.2 = 0.03). In addition, "Battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (win 2A)" was 2% (0.1 x 0.2 = 0.02), and "Battle production (defeat 2B) to resurrection production (win 2B)" was It becomes 1% (0.05 × 0.2 = 0.01). Also, "Battle production (
Resurrection production (win 3A) from defeat 3A) ”was 1.4% (0.07 × 0.2 = 0.014),
"Battle production (defeat 3B) to revival production (win 3B)" was 0.6% (0.03 x 0.2 =
It becomes 0.006). In addition, "battle production (defeat 1A)" was 14.4% (0.2 x 0.7).
2 = 0.144), "Battle production (defeat 1B)" is 18% (0.25 x 0.72 = 0.1)
8). In addition, "battle production (defeat 2A)" was 10.8% (0.15 x 0.72 = 0).
.. 108), "Battle production (defeat 2B)" was 14.4% (0.2 x 0.72 = 0.144)
). And "battle production (defeat 3A)" is 6% (0.05 x 0.72 + 0.3 x
0.08 = 0.06), "Battle production (defeat 3B)" was 16.4% (0.15 x 0.72)
+0.7 × 0.08 = 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 step progresses is different.
By doing so, when the battle start images 541 and 552 are displayed, the enemy character A
A slot machine in which the player pays attention to which of the enemy characters, the enemy character B and the enemy character B, is displayed, and the battle effect in which one of the multiple types of enemy characters is displayed is not executed. The fun of the game is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21 (B), when the enemy character A is selected, the ratio (win rate) of winning the battle including the revival effect 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) = 0.2844 ...), and when enemy character B is selected, the percentage of winning the battle including the resurrection effect is about 13.5% ((0.04 + 0.02 + 0.01 + 0.0).
06) / (0.04 + 0.02 + 0.01 + 0.006 + 0.18 + 0.144 + 0.1
64) = 0.1347 ...), which makes it easier to win the battle when the enemy character A is selected than when the enemy character B is selected.
By doing so, when the battle production is started, the battle start image 5 of the enemy character A
Players will pay attention to whether or not 41 is displayed, and the enemy character of any one of multiple types of enemy characters with different winning percentages will be displayed. The game is more than a slot machine where the battle effect is not executed. The interest will improve.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the resurrection effect as the effect pattern of the battle effect, "from the battle effect (defeat 1A) to the resurrection effect (victory 1A)).
, "Battle production (defeat 1B) to revival production (victory 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)"
Resurrection production (win 2A) "," Battle production (defeat 2B) to resurrection production (win 2B) ",
You can select the production pattern of "Battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (victory 3A)" and "Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B)". Further, in the present embodiment, FIG.
As shown in 1 (C), the ratio (selection rate) at which the resurrection effect is executed when the first battle defeat effect 543 is displayed after the reception of the first stop operation is about 13.4% ((0.03 + 0). .02) /
(0.03 + 0.02 + 0.144 + 0.18) = 0.1336 ...), The ratio of the resurrection effect being executed when the second battle defeat effect 545 is displayed after the reception of the second stop operation is about 10
.. 6% ((0.02 + 0.01) / (0.02 + 0.01 + 0.108 + 0.144) =
0.1063 ...), The rate at which the resurrection effect is executed when the third battle defeat effect 547 is displayed after the reception of the third stop operation is about 8.2% ((0.014 + 0.006) / (0. 014
+0.006 + 0.06 + 0.164) = 0.0819 ...), the third stop operation, the second
The rate at which the revival effect is executed after reception increases in the order of stop operation and first stop operation.

By doing so, even after the battle defeat image is displayed and it is suggested that the number of ART games was not added and won, the revival effect is executed and it is suggested that the number of ART games is added and won. Can be expected, and the revival production will be performed at a higher rate.
When the battle defeat image 543 and the second battle defeat image 545 are displayed, the player further expects that the revival effect is executed. As a result, no matter which battle defeat image is displayed, the player pays more attention to which battle defeat image is displayed than the slot machine that executes the revival effect at the same ratio, and the interest of the game is Is further improved.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 revives from the "battle effect (defeat 1A) to the resurrection effect (win 1A)" and "from the battle effect (defeat 1B) to the resurrection effect (win 1)".
B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (victory 2A) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2A)
In the case of the production pattern of "Resurrection production (Victory 2B) from B)", the resurrection victory image 549 and 550 is displayed in the resurrection production, and the ally character attacks and defeats a plurality of enemy characters with a special move. On the other hand, "Battle production (defeat 3A) to revival production (victory 3A)", "Battle production (defeat 3A)"
In the case of the production pattern of "Resurrection from defeat 3B) (Victory 3B)", the revival victory image 551 from the 3rd battle defeat image is displayed in the revival production, and the ally character defeats the last enemy character with a normal attack It will be a production. That is, when the progress of the effect step is stopped after the reception of the first stop operation or the second stop operation, the revival victory image is different from that when the effect step progresses until after the reception of the third stop operation.

By doing so, it is possible to execute the resurrection effect in a more suitable effect mode according to each battle defeat image than 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 production step is stopped after the reception of the first stop operation or the second stop operation, the revival victory image is different from the case where the production step progresses until after the reception of the third stop operation. It is preferable to make them different, but the resurrection victory image from each battle defeat image may be the same image (for example, an image in which a ally character defeats all enemy characters with a special move).

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the sub-control unit 91 does not win the lottery for adding the number of ART games, the battle defeat image (first battle defeat image 543, second battle defeat image 545, After the game ends with the third battle defeat image 547) displayed, when the operation of the production switch 56 is accepted, the character selection screen 561 is displayed and the ally character of the battle production can be selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 22, the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted and the battle start image 541 is displayed, the first stop operation is accepted and the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed, and the third stop operation is accepted. After the game is finished, the accepting image 571 is displayed, the operation of the effect switch 56 is enabled, and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on. At this time, when the effect switch 56 is operated by the player, the character selection screen 561 is displayed, and when the operation of selecting / determining the ally character is performed, the first battle defeat image 543 returns to the displayed state again. It has become like. Although not shown, if 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 is won by adding the number of ART games, the battle victory image (third)
Even if the production switch 56 is operated after the game ends with the battle victory image 546) 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 production 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 displayed in the battle production. Regardless of whether it is displayed or not, when the production switch is operated, the character selection screen is displayed and a slot machine that allows selection of ally characters, and either a battle defeat image or a battle victory image is displayed in the battle production. Regardless of whether or not the effect switch is operated, the character selection screen is not displayed, and the fun of the game is improved compared to the slot machine in which the selection of ally characters is not possible.

In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the lottery with the number of ART games added, the battle defeat image is displayed not only after the game ends with the battle victory image (third battle victory image 546) displayed. Even if the effect switch 56 is operated even after the game is finished in this state, the character selection screen 561 is not displayed and the ally character cannot be selected. In particular,
As shown in FIG. 23, the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted and the battle start image 541
Is operated, the first stop operation is accepted, the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed, and the third
After the game is finished after the stop operation is accepted, the accepting image 571 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is lit, while the operation of the effect switch 56 remains disabled. ing. Therefore, even if the production switch 56 is operated by the player, 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. And resurrection start image 54
8 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off.

By doing so, if the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the player 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 production switch 56 after the battle defeat image is displayed in the battle production, and the battle defeat image is displayed when the resurrection production is executed in the next game. Even if the production switch is operated when the game is played, the fun of the game is improved compared to the slot machine that displays the character selection screen.
In the present embodiment, the display of the character selection screen 561 is permitted or restricted by enabling / disabling the reception of the operation of the production switch 56, but the display is not limited to this, and is for production. The reception of the operation of the switch 56 may be always enabled. 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. Also, for example, the production switch 5
A configuration (locking mechanism) that physically prohibits the pressing operation of 6 may be provided.

In this embodiment, after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won, the production switch 5 is used as an example of a predetermined operation.
When the operation of 6 is accepted, the character selection screen 561 is displayed, but the predetermined operation that is the display start condition of the character selection screen is not limited to this, and for example, a new operation such as an operation lever or a contact type touch panel is displayed. When the player's operation on the means is accepted, when the player's motion detection means such as motion capture detects the player's motion, or when the player holds the IC chip with a non-contact data reader. The character selection screen 561 may be displayed when a telephone, an IC card, or the like is detected.
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 used as screen display control. In this case, on the menu screen, it may be possible to adjust the effect mode of the entire slot machine 1, adjust the volume, adjust the amount of illumination light, and the like. That is, the predetermined control is not limited to the control for setting the battle effect to be executed in the next game, and may be the control for setting the entire effect during the game including the battle effect. Further, when the display control of the menu screen is used, for example, the game history is displayed on the menu screen, and the 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.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is not only after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won. Even after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the number of ART games is added and the lottery is won, the next game is being accepted until the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted. The image 571 is displayed or the production switch 56. Turn on the LED for the production of.
By doing so, the operation of the production switch 56 is accepted and the character selection screen 5
Not only when 61 is displayed, but also when the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the effect switch 56 is operated to execute the resurrection effect in the next game. Image 5
Since 61 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on, the character selection screen 5 is performed even if the effect switch 56 is operated in order to execute the revival effect in the next game.
Even a player who recognizes that 61 is not displayed can recognize whether or not the revival effect is executed unless the effect switch 56 is operated after the battle defeat image is displayed and the game is over. It disappears.

As a result, the slot machine that does not display the accepting image 571 or turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56 when the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, or the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted. Sometimes the reception image 571 is displayed or the production LED of the production switch 56 is turned on, while the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the resurrection production is executed in the next game. Increase the credibility of not winning the additional lottery of ART when the battle defeat image is displayed compared to the slot machine that does not display the image 571 currently being accepted or turn on the production LED of the production switch 56. This makes it possible for the player to become interested in operating the production switch 56 after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed, and the interest of the game is further improved.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is revived 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. Perform the production.
By doing so, the start switch is better than the slot machine that does not require the player to operate the start switch of the next game after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed as the start condition of the revival effect. Players will pay attention to performing the operation of 7, and the interest of the game will be further improved.
In the present embodiment, 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, the revival effect is executed, but the revival effect is executed. The start condition is not limited to this, for example, BET operation (MAXBE).
It may be when the operation of the T switch 6 and the insertion of medals) are accepted, and the production switch 5
It may be when the operation of 6 is accepted.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 has 10 remaining ARTs.
When the game is below the game, the battle effect is executed for each game, and the next game will also be the battle effect after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. The character selection screen 561 can be displayed by enabling the operation of the effect switch 56 until the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted.
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 production will be executed with the changed ally character from the next game. As a result, the player can switch moods from the next game.
In the present embodiment, the character selection screen 561 can be displayed by enabling the operation of the production switch 56 for each game as long as the battle production is executed in the next game, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, the character selection screen 561 may be displayed by enabling the operation of the effect switch 56 for each battle effect. In this case, if the battle effect is a continuous effect over a plurality of games, the character selection screen 561 can be displayed by enabling the operation of the effect switch 56 for each of the plurality of games in which the battle effect ends.

In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the control history of the slot machine 1 is advantageous for the player based on the period from the end of the previous ART to the control by the next ART. The determination as to whether or not the control history of 1 is advantageous for the player is not limited to this, and it may be determined whether or not the next ART is advantageous. For example, the determination may be made based on the number of ART games given in the winning ART. In particular,
The sub-control unit 91 may execute the ART winning notification effect execution process shown in FIG. 24, which will be described later. In the ART winning notification effect execution process of the modified example, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the number of granted ART games is 50 games or more, as shown in FIG. 24 (step S2).
61). When the sub-control unit 91 has 50 games or more (step S261; Y), the first
The ART winning notification image 511 is displayed (step S252), and the first ART winning notification voice is output (step S264). On the other hand, when the number of games is less than 50 (step S261; N), the sub-control unit 91 displays the second ART winning notification image 512 (step S25).
2), the second ART winning notification voice is output (step S266). After the audio output, the sub control unit 91 outputs the illumination light for ART winning notification (step S255), and ends the process.
By doing so, it is possible to execute the ART winning notification effect in an appropriate effect mode according to the number of ART games given at the time of ART winning.

Here, the first ART winning notification voice is, for example, a "easy win!" Based on the predetermined voice output for a period longer than the predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds) and the remarks of the ally character of the first ART winning notification image 511. It is a voice including the voice of "!!". Further, the second ART winning notification voice is, for example, "somehow" based on the predetermined voice output for a period shorter than the predetermined period (for example, 0.5 seconds) and the remarks of the ally character of the second ART winning notification image 512. It is a voice including the voice "Is it?" That is, the second ART winning notification voice is output in a manner less noticeable to the player than the first ART winning notification voice. By doing so, when the control history of the slot machine 1 since the end of the previous ART is a history that is disadvantageous to the player, the second ART winning notification image 512 and the second ART special notification voice are used. The ART winning notification effect can be notified of the winning of the ART in an appropriate production mode. Further, by doing so, depending on whether the control history of the slot machine 1 since the end of the previous ART is advantageous or disadvantageous to the player, only the ART winning notification image and the ART winning notification voice are available. Since it is only necessary to change the lighting for ART winning, it is not necessary to change the lighting for ART winning, so that the lighting for each production means is changed rather than the slot machine for changing not only the image for notification of winning ART and the sound for winning ART but also the lighting for winning ART. Since the number of effect patterns can be reduced, the storage capacity can be reduced and the control load can be reduced.

In this modified example, it is determined whether or not ART as an advantageous state of winning is an advantageous history for the player based on whether or not the number of ART games given at the time of winning ART is equal to or greater than the specific number of games. However, the determination may be made based on, for example, the type of advantageous state won. For example, when the big bonus is won, it is determined that the control history of the slot machine 1 is advantageous for the player, and the first ART winning notification image 511 is displayed. On the other hand, when the regular bonus is won, the slot machine 1 is displayed. It may be determined that the control history is disadvantageous to the player, and the second ART winning notification image 512 may be displayed. Further, for example, when the next bonus is won, if the previous bonus is a big bonus, it is determined that the control history of the slot machine 1 is an advantageous history for the player, and the first ART winning notification image 511 is displayed. On the other hand, if the previous bonus is a regular bonus, it may be determined that the control history of the slot machine 1 is a history that is disadvantageous to the player, and the second ART winning notification image 512 may be displayed.
