Function as a means of (1) Normal game control means 70 (2) Special game control means 80 (3) Winning lottery means 110 The functions of the game control device 21 are as described in (1) above.
However, the present invention is not limited to (3).

(Normal game control means 70) Normal game control means
70 is for making a normal game play. In other words, when a game medal is inserted, the bet switch 16 is operated, or in the case of “Replay”, the reel unit 60 is driven by operating the start switch 30 on condition that a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous game. The rotating reels 40 start rotating. After that, stop switch 50
Is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotating reels 40 stops.

At this time, when the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 becomes a predetermined prize, and when a predetermined symbol 61 corresponding to the prize stops on the activated pay line, the prize is determined, thereby the hopper unit A predetermined number of game medals will be paid out to the player via 65,
Alternatively, a predetermined profit is given to the player. Instead of paying out game medals, credits may be given.

The prize includes a “general prize” relating to the provision of a predetermined profit, a “special prize” relating to the provision of a profit larger than the general prize, and a “replay” relating to the execution of “replay”. Game prize ”. In addition, "general prize"
The “first small win” related to the payout of a predetermined number (for example, eight) of game medals and the “second small win” related to the payout of a smaller number (for example, five) of game medals less than the first small win.
"Small win" and "third win" related to the payout of a smaller number (for example, three) of game medals than the second win.

The "special prize" includes a "specific introduction game (BB game)" related to the transition to the "specific introduction game (BB game)" and a transition to the "special introduction game (RB game)". There is such a “specific game prize (RB prize)”. Here, the “specific game (RB game)” refers to a game relating to the provision of a profit larger than the normal game, and the “specific introduction game (BB game)” has a high probability of introducing the specific game. Game. Control of these games will be described later.

When the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is one of the winnings, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. Specifically, for example, when the lottery result by the prize lottery means 110 is a special prize,
A special winning flag is established. When the predetermined symbols 61 corresponding to the special prize are aligned on the predetermined activated prize line while the special prize flag is established, the symbol 61 (for example, the symbol 61 of "7") is displayed.
Are formed on the activated pay line), the special prize is determined, and the player is allowed to perform a special game which is advantageous.

If the special prize flag is established, but the predetermined symbols 61 corresponding to the special prize are not aligned on the predetermined effective prize line, the right of the special prize flag establishment is carried over to the subsequent games. It is formed as follows. Note that the small win prize flag is formed so that if a small prize is not determined in a game for which the small win prize flag has been established, it is not carried over to subsequent games.

While any of the winning flags is established,
Whether or not the predetermined symbol 61 corresponding to the winning can be aligned on the activated pay line depends on the timing of the stop switch 50 when the rotating speed of the rotating reel 40 is constant. Specifically, after the stop switch 50 is operated, the rotating reel 40 is set to stop within 190 ms. For this reason, after operating the stop switch 50, the pull-out design 61 on the circumference of the rotating reel 40 which can be stopped as it is or can be stopped within 190 ms, for example, four drawable designs continuous from the stop design 61 In the case where the corresponding winning symbol 61 is included in 61, the time until stopping is delayed, and the rotating reel 40 draws the winning symbol 61 on the activated winning line and stops.

On the other hand, if the corresponding winning symbol 61 is not included in the four drawable symbols 61, the winning symbol 61 cannot be drawn on the activated winning line and stopped. . (Special game control means 80) The special game control means 80 is for causing the player to perform an advantageous special game based on the lottery result by the winning lottery means 110.

As special games, there are the following games (1) to (3). (1) Specific introduction game (BB game) (2) Specific game (RB game) (3) Specific winning game (JAC game) The specific game is performed during the specific introduction game and when it is not during the specific introduction game It may be performed alone.

The specific winning game is performed during the specific game. The special game is not limited to the above (1) to (3). As shown in FIG. 1, the special game control means 80 includes the following means (1) and (2).

(1) Specific introduction game control means 90 (2) Specific game control means 100 The means provided in the special game control means 80 are not limited to the above (1) and (2). (Specific introduction game control means 90) Specific introduction game control means 90
Is for controlling the specific introduction game.

Specifically, during a normal game, a winning lottery means
The lottery result by 110 will be a specific introduction game prize, and
For example, when three symbols 61 such as “7” are aligned on the activated pay line, the specific introduced game winning is determined. And when the specific introduction game prize is confirmed, via the hopper unit 65,
For example, 15 game medals are paid out, and thereafter, the normal game is shifted to the specific introduction game.

When the game shifts to the specific introduction game, a maximum of three game medals are inserted as in the normal game.
When the rotation of the three rotating reels 40 is started and the rotation of the three rotating reels 40 is stopped, a predetermined symbol 61
Payout of game medals is performed depending on whether or not are on the activated pay line. Therefore, during the specific introduction game, the lottery including the small prize winning is performed every time as in the normal game. However, during this specific introduction game, the lottery result by the prize lottery means 110 becomes a specific game prize, and
For example, a symbol 61 such as “BAR” is placed on the activated pay line
When all the pieces are collected, the specific game prize is determined, and the game is shifted from the specific introduction game to the specific game.

During the specific introduction game, the transition to the specific game is to be performed, for example, up to three times. Therefore, after the end of the first specific game, the same lottery and control as during the normal game described above are performed again.
Then, during the specific introduction game, when the specific game is performed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or when the normal game is performed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, 30 times, the specific introduction game ends.

(Specific Game Control Means 100) The specific game control means 100 is for controlling a specific game. Specifically, during a normal game or a specific introduction game, when a lottery result by the prize lottery means 110 becomes a specific game prize, and, for example, three symbols 61 such as "BAR" are aligned on an active prize line, the specific The game prize is confirmed. Then, when the specific game winning is determined, the normal game or the specific introduction game is shifted to the specific game.

When the game shifts to the specific game, one game medal is inserted, and when the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned on the center line, the specific prize game in which the prize is determined is performed. In the specific game, a specific prize game can be performed up to 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 prize winnings can be determined. In other words, the specific game ends when the maximum of eight winnings is determined or when the maximum of 12 specific winning games ends.

(Winning lottery means 110) The winning lottery means 110
This is for performing a lottery for winning or not. The winning lottery means 110 includes the following means (1) to (4) as shown in FIG. (1) Random number generating means 111 (2) Random number extracting means 112 (3) Lottery table 113 (4) Lottery determining means 114 The means provided in the winning lottery means 110 are limited to the above (1) to (4). Not something.

(Random number generating means 111)
This is for generating a random number for lottery to determine whether or not a prize has been won. Specifically, the random number generating means 111 generates a random number for lottery to determine whether or not a winning has occurred within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal).

The random number generating means 111 can be formed by using, for example, a random number counter for adding a count value by one (a so-called hard random number). Further, the random number generating means 111 can be formed by, for example, a means for generating random numbers by the average sampling method, or a means for generating random numbers by adding prime numbers. In addition, the means for generating random numbers by the average sampling method and the means for generating random numbers by adding prime numbers can be formed, for example, by storing a predetermined program in a ROM provided in the control device 20 (so-called, Soft random numbers).

(Random Number Extracting Means 112) The random number extracting means 112
This is for extracting the random number generated by the random number generation means 111. Specifically, the random number extracting means 112 extracts a random number generated by the random number generating means 111 under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 30), and uses the extracted random number as random number data. It is.

Since the random number generating means 111 is formed by using a random number counter or the like which increments the count value by one, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means 111 is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 30 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extracting means 112 can be treated substantially as a random number.

That is, although the random number generating means 111 does not generate random numbers, the numerical values extracted by the random number extracting means 112 show a distribution like random numbers. This is not limited to the case where a random number counter is used for the random number generation means 111, and the same applies to the case where a soft random number is used. In the present embodiment, a means for obtaining a numerical value indicating a distribution like a random number as a result is considered to be included in the random number generating means 111 or the random number extracting means 112.

(Lottery Table 113) The lottery table 113
For the entire range of random numbers generated by the random number generation means 111,
This means that a prize is determined at a predetermined ratio in advance. Specifically, the lottery table 113 includes, as prizes, “general prize” related to a given profit, “special prize” related to a larger profit than the general prize, and “replay”. The “replay winning” related to the execution is determined in advance at a predetermined ratio.

The lottery table 113 indicates, as “general prize”, a “first small role prize” related to the payout of a predetermined number (for example, eight) of game medals, and a number smaller than the first small role prize. “Second small win” related to payout of game medals (for example, 5) and “third small win” related to payout of game medals of a smaller number (for example, three) than the second small win. Are determined in advance at a predetermined ratio.

Further, this lottery table 113 indicates that “special introduction game (BB game)”, “specific introduction game prize (BB game)” and “specific game (RB game)” as “special prize”. "Game prize (R
B prize) "is determined in advance at a predetermined ratio.
Further, the winning lottery means 110 has six stages from 1 to 6, and includes six first to sixth lottery tables 113 corresponding to each of the settings from 1 to 6.

The winning lottery means 110 selects the first lottery table 121 when the setting is 1, the second lottery table 122 when the setting is 2, and the third lottery table 123 when the setting is 3. When the setting is 4, the fourth lottery table 124 is selected, when the setting is 5, the fifth lottery table 125 is selected, and when the setting is 6, the sixth lottery table 126 is selected. .

Here, the first to sixth lottery tables 113 are specifically formed as shown in Table 5 below. In the table, “BB” means “specific introduction game prize (BB prize)”, “RB” means “specific game prize (RB prize)”, and “first” means “first”. "First small role prize" and "second" are "second small role prize"
And "third" indicate "third small win", and "replay" indicates "replay win".

The specific game prize (RB prize) prize probability of 0.4%, the general prize prize probability of 15% (first small role prize prize 9%)
The winning probability of the second small win is 5% + the winning probability of the third small win is 1%), the winning probability of the replay winning is 14%, and the loss probability is 70%.

Also, a fourth lottery table corresponding to setting 4
124 has a 100% winning rate and a 4% chance of winning a special prize
(Specific introduction game prize (BB prize) winning probability of 2.3% +
The winning probability of specific game winning (RB winning) is 1.7%, the winning probability of general winning is 3% (the winning probability of 1st small role winning is 1% +
The winning probability of the second small win is 1% + the winning probability of the third small win is 1%), the winning probability of the replay winning is 14%, and the loss probability is 79%.

A fifth lottery table corresponding to setting 5
125 has a winning rate of 110% and a special prize winning probability of 1.
5% (Probability of winning at the specific introduction game prize (BB prize) 0.9
% + Specific game winning (RB winning) winning probability 0.6%),
The probability of winning a general prize is 17% (the probability of winning the first small role winning 10% + the probability of winning the second small role winning 6% + the probability of winning the third small role winning 1%), the probability of winning a replay winning It is formed so that the probability of loss is 14% and the probability of loss is 67.5%.

A sixth lottery table corresponding to setting 6
126 has a winning rate of 110% and a special prize winning probability of 4.
5% (special introduction game prize (BB prize) winning probability of 2.6)

The probability of winning a general prize is 3% (the probability of winning the first small role prize is 1)
% + 2% small part winning prize probability 1% + third small part winning prize winning percentage 1%), the replay prize winning percentage is 14%, and the loss probability is 78.5%. I have.

Thus, in the six lottery tables 113 from the first to the sixth, the payout rates are equal or sequentially increased in the order of setting. When the first lottery table 121 and the second lottery table 122 are compared, the ratio of the special prize in the second lottery table 122 is
2nd lottery table, which is higher than the percentage of the special prize
The ratio of the general prize of 122 is lower than the ratio of the general prize of the first lottery table 121.

Further, comparing the second lottery table 122 and the third lottery table 123, the ratio of the special prize of the second lottery table 122 is higher than the ratio of the special prize of the third lottery table 123, and The ratio of the general prize in the second lottery table 122 is lower than the ratio of the general prize in the third lottery table 123. Also, comparing the third lottery table 123 and the fourth lottery table 124, the ratio of the special prize of the fourth lottery table 124 is higher than the ratio of the special prize of the third lottery table 123, and the fourth lottery table The ratio of 124 general prizes is lower than the ratio of general prizes in the third lottery table 123.

Also, comparing the fourth lottery table 124 with the fifth lottery table 125, the ratio of the special prize of the fourth lottery table 124 is higher than the ratio of the special prize of the fifth lottery table 125, and The ratio of the general prize in the fourth lottery table 124 is lower than the ratio of the general prize in the fifth lottery table 125. Also, comparing the fifth lottery table 125 with the sixth lottery table 126, the ratio of the special prize of the sixth lottery table 126 is higher than the ratio of the special prize of the fifth lottery table 125, and the sixth lottery table The ratio of the general prize of 126 is lower than the ratio of the general prize of the fifth lottery table 125.

(Lottery determination means 114)
This is for comparing the random number extracted by the random number extracting means 112 with the lottery table 113 to determine the lottery result. More specifically, the lottery determination unit 114 checks the random number data extracted by the random number extraction unit 112 with one lottery table 113 corresponding to the setting, and determines that the lottery result is a specific introduction game prize (BB prize). It is determined whether it is a specific game prize (RB prize), a first small prize, a second small prize, a third small prize, a replay prize, or a loss.

(Effect control device 22) The effect control device 22 is for controlling the display device 66 such as a lamp and a speaker. Specifically, the effect control device 22 notifies a player of a prize or the like by generating a prize sound from a speaker or turning on or blinking a lamp when a prize is won.

(Operation of Gaming Machine 10) Next, the outline of the operation of the gaming machine having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, the overall flow of the game will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In step 100, when the start switch 30 is operated, the start switch 30 is turned on. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 101.

In step 101, the winning lottery means 11
With 0, a winning lottery process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 102. In step 102, the rotation of the rotating reel 40 starts. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103. In step 103, when the stop switch 50 is operated, the stop switch 50 is turned on. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.

In step 104, the rotation stop processing of the rotating reel 40 is performed. Then, the next step 105
Proceed to. In step 105, the three rotating reels 40
It is determined whether or not the stop switch 50 corresponding to has been operated. If it is determined that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotating reels 40 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 106.

In step 106, it is determined whether or not the winning symbols 61 corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the activated pay line while the winning flag is established, that is, whether or not the winning is determined. Then, when it is determined that the winning is determined, the process proceeds to the next step 107. In step 107, a game medal corresponding to a winning symbol is paid out.
Then, the game ends.

If it is determined in step 105 that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three reels 40 has not been operated, the process returns to step 103. If it is determined in step 106 that the winning has not been determined, the game is over, skipping step 107, that is, without paying out game medals.

The winning lottery process in step 101 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In step 200, a random number is extracted by the random number extracting means 112. Specifically, the random number generation unit 111 extracts the random number generated by the operation of the start switch 30 as a trigger. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.

In step 201, the extracted random numbers are stored inside the random number extracting means 112. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202. In step 202, it is determined whether the setting is 1 or not. When it is determined that the setting is 1, the process proceeds to the next step 203. In step 203, the first lottery table 121 is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step 213.

If it is determined in step 202 that the setting is not 1, the process proceeds to step 204. In step 204, it is determined whether the setting is two. When it is determined that the setting is 2, the process proceeds to the next step 205. In step 205, the second lottery table 122 is selected. Then, step 213
Proceed to.

If it is determined in step 204 that the setting is not 2, the process proceeds to step 206. In step 206, it is determined whether the setting is three. When it is determined that the setting is 3, the process proceeds to the next step 207. In step 207, the third lottery table 123 is selected. Then, step 213
Proceed to.

If it is determined in step 206 that the setting is not 3, the process proceeds to step 208. In step 208, it is determined whether the setting is four. When it is determined that the setting is 4, the process proceeds to the next step 209. In step 209, the fourth lottery table 124 is selected. Then, step 213
Proceed to.

If it is determined in step 208 that the setting is not 4, the process proceeds to step 210. At step 210, a determination is made whether the setting is five. When it is determined that the setting is 5, the process proceeds to the next step 211. In step 211, the fifth lottery table 125 is selected. Then, step 213
Proceed to.

If it is determined in step 210 that the setting is not 5, the process proceeds to step 212. In step 212, the sixth lottery table 126 is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step 213. In step 213, the random number extracted by the lottery determination means 114,
The comparison with the selected lottery table 113 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 214.

In step 214, the lottery determination means 11
4.The extracted random numbers are stored in the selected lottery table 1
It is determined which of the 13 winning areas is included, and the lottery result is determined. Further, if the lottery result is a winning, a winning flag is established. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 215. In step 215, kicking of the predetermined symbol 61 and retraction of the predetermined symbol 61 are set. And
The winning lottery process ends.

The reel rotation stop processing at step 104 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In step 300, it is determined whether or not the kicking setting has been achieved for the predetermined symbol 61.
When it is determined that the setting of the kicking of the predetermined symbol 61 has not been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 301.

In step 301, the rotating reel 40 is rotated by one symbol 61. That is, kicking is performed for one symbol for 61 minutes. And the next step 30
Proceed to 2. In step 302, it is determined whether or not the number of the symbols 61 obtained by rotating the rotary reel 40 by one symbol 61 corresponds to the fourth symbol after the stop switch 50 is operated. Then, after the stop switch 50 is operated, when the number of the symbols 61 shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 by one symbol 61 is the fourth symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 303.

In step 303, the rotation of the rotating reel 40 is stopped. Then, the reel rotation stop processing ends. If it is determined in step 300 that the setting of kicking the predetermined symbol 61 has been achieved, the process proceeds to step 304. In step 304, it is determined whether or not a pull-in is set for any of the symbols 61. Then, when it is determined that the pull-in is set for any of the symbols 61, the next step 30
Go to 5.

In step 305, it is determined whether the pull-in setting has been achieved. If it is determined that the pull-in setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to step 303. In step 304, when it is determined that the pull-in is not set for any of the symbols 61,
Proceed to step 303. In step 305,
If it is determined that the pull-in setting has not been achieved, the process proceeds to step 301.

In the step 302, if the number of the symbols 61 shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 one symbol at a time after the stop switch 50 is operated is not the fourth symbol, the process returns to the step 300. In the present embodiment, the reel rotation stop processing is described in steps 300 to 305, but this example is an example of so-called minimum pull-in stop control, and conversely, may be maximum pull-in stop control. . Furthermore, for example, a so-called table stop control method in which the stop position of the rotating reel 40 is determined according to a predetermined table at the timing when the stop switch 50 is pressed. This table stop control has a plurality of tables based on the presence or absence of a winning flag and a winning symbol 61 during which the winning flag is established, and a table according to a game situation is appropriately selected from the plurality of tables. is there.

In the table stop control, when the winning flag is established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that the symbols 61 corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the activated pay line. , A kind of so-called pull-in setting. In addition, when the winning flag is not established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that the other winning symbols 61 are not aligned on the activated winning line, and a type of so-called kicking setting is provided. It is.

As described above, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment
Has a plurality of stages of settings and includes a plurality of lottery tables 113 corresponding to each of the settings. Further, the plurality of lottery tables 113 have the same payout rate or sequentially increase in the order of setting. When the two lottery tables 113 having the same settings and adjacent settings are compared, the ratio of the special prize of one lottery table 113 is higher than the ratio of the special prize of the other lottery table 113, and The ratio of the general prize of one lottery table 113 is formed so as to be lower than the ratio of the general prize of the other lottery table 113, whereby the probability of winning a special prize is relatively high, and The lottery table 113 having a relatively low prize probability and the lottery table 113 having a relatively high prize probability of a general prize and a relatively low prize probability of a special prize are alternately arranged in the order of setting. Ri return way, changing the setting, not only the payout rate is of even gaming properties are to be changed. In addition, even if the payout rate increases, the player is provided with the unexpectedness that the probability of winning a special prize does not necessarily increase.

The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a lottery table 113 (first setting) corresponding to the minimum setting (setting 1).
The ratio of the special prize of the lottery table 121) is lower than the ratio of the special prize of the lottery table 113 (second lottery table 122) corresponding to the second smallest setting (setting 2), and
The ratio of the general prize in the lottery table 113 (first lottery table 121) corresponding to the smallest setting (setting 1) is the lottery table 113 (second setting) corresponding to the second smallest setting (setting 2).
The lottery table 122) is formed so as to have a higher relationship than the ratio of the general prize, so that if the setting is an even number, the prize probability of the special prize is relatively high and the prize probability of the general prize is relatively high. If a low lottery table 113 is selected, and if the setting is an odd-numbered step, the lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning a general prize and a relatively low probability of winning a special prize is selected. This makes the relationship between ball rate and playability easy to understand.

Further, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a special prize, shifts to a specific game (RB game) related to shifting to a specific game (RB game) and shifts to a specific introduction game (BB game). And a special prize other than the specific game prize and the specific introduction game prize (specifically, the first small part prize, the second small part prize, And the third small winning combination), whereby the lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning the specific game winning and the special introducing game winning and a relatively low winning probability of the small winning game, The lottery tables 113 having a relatively high prize probability and a relatively low prize probability of the specific game prize and the specific introduction game prize are alternately repeated in the order of setting so as to further enhance the change of the game ability. It is.

Note that the lottery table 113 is not limited to being formed as shown in Table 5 above, but may be formed as shown in Table 6 below, for example.

[0125]

[Table 6]

That is, the lottery table 113 shown in Table 6
Is the first lottery table 1 of the lottery table 113 shown in Table 5.
21 is replaced with the second lottery table 122, the third lottery table 123 and the fourth lottery table 124 are replaced, and the fifth lottery table 125 and the sixth lottery table 126 are replaced. Even when the lottery tables 113 are formed as shown in Table 6, the payout rates are equal or sequentially larger in the order of the setting, and when the two lottery tables 113 with the adjacent settings are compared, the special lottery table 113 of one of the lottery tables 113 is used. The ratio of winning is higher than the ratio of special winning in the other lottery table 113, and the ratio of general winning in one lottery table 113 is lower than the ratio of general winning in the other lottery table 113. It can be. Then, a lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning a special prize and a relatively low probability of winning a general prize, and a lottery having a relatively high probability of winning a general prize and having a relatively low probability of winning a special prize. The table 113 can be alternately repeated in the order of the setting, whereby by changing the setting, the gaming machine 10 can change not only the payout rate but also the gaming ability. . Further, it is possible to provide the gaming machine 10 with an unexpected effect that the winning probability of the special winning does not necessarily increase even if the payout rate increases.

Further, when formed as shown in Table 6, the special winning percentage in the lottery table 113 (first lottery table 121) corresponding to the minimum setting (setting 1) is the second smallest setting (setting 2). Is higher than the ratio of the special prize in the lottery table 113 (second lottery table 122) corresponding to, and the lottery table 113 (first
The ratio of the general prize in the lottery table 121) can be lower than the ratio of the general prize in the lottery table 113 (second lottery table 122) corresponding to the second smallest setting (setting 2). It is. If the setting is odd, the lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning a special prize and a relatively low probability of winning a general prize.
Is selected, on the other hand, if the setting is set to an even-numbered stage, it is possible to select the lottery table 113 in which the winning probability of the general winning is relatively high and the winning probability of the special winning is relatively low, In addition, it is possible to make the gaming machine 10 easy to understand the relationship between the payout rate and the gaming ability.

The lottery table 113 can be formed, for example, as shown in Table 7 below.

[0129]

[Table 7]

That is, the lottery table 113 shown in Table 7
Are formed so that the payout rate increases in the order of setting. Then, even when the lottery table 113 is formed as shown in Table 7, when two lottery tables 113 having adjacent settings are compared, the ratio of the special prize of one lottery table 113 is
It is higher than the ratio of the special prize in the other lottery table 113,
In addition, the ratio of the general prize in one lottery table 113 can be lower than the ratio of the general prize in the other lottery table 113. Then, a lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning a special prize and a relatively low probability of winning a general prize, and a lottery having a relatively high probability of winning a general prize and having a relatively low probability of winning a special prize. The table 113 can be alternately repeated in the order of the setting, so that when the setting is changed,
The gaming machine 10 can change not only the payout rate but also the gaming properties. Further, it is possible to provide the gaming machine 10 with an unexpected effect that the winning probability of the special winning does not necessarily increase even if the payout rate increases.

The lottery table 113 can be formed, for example, as shown in Table 8 below.

[0132]

[Table 8]

That is, the lottery table 113 shown in Table 8
When comparing two lottery tables 113 whose settings are adjacent to each other, one of the adjacent lottery tables 113, specifically, from the second lottery table 122 to the sixth lottery table 126, The ratio of the special prize of 113 is higher than the ratio of the special prize of the other lottery table 113, and the ratio of the general prize of one lottery table 113 is lower than the ratio of the general prize of the other lottery table 113. Is formed.

Then, even if it is formed as shown in Table 8, from the second lottery table 122 to the sixth lottery table 126, the winning probability of the special winning is relatively high and the winning probability of the general winning is compared. A very low lottery table 113, and a lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning a general prize and having a relatively low probability of winning a special prize can be alternately repeated in the order of setting. When the setting is changed, the gaming machine 10 can change not only the payout rate but also the gaming ability. Further, it is possible to provide the gaming machine 10 with an unexpected effect that the winning probability of the special winning does not necessarily increase even if the payout rate increases.

In addition, as special prize, specific game prize,
In addition to determining the specific introduction game prize, the prize other than the specific game prize and the specific introduction game prize (specifically, the first small part prize, the second small part prize, and the third part)
Rather than defining a small winning prize, for example, a special winning prize is determined as a special prize, and a prize other than the specific introducing game prize (specifically, a specific gaming prize, the first small Role winning, second small role winning, and third small role winning). Then, the lottery table 113 in which the winning probability of the specific introduction game winning is relatively high and the winning probability of the specific game winning and the small role winning is relatively low.
And the lottery table 113 having a relatively high probability of winning a specific game prize and a small role prize and having a relatively low probability of winning a specific introductory game prize are alternately repeated in the order of setting. Thus, the gaming machine 10 can have a more varied gameplay.

For example, as a special prize, a specific game prize during a normal game is determined, and as a general prize,
Other prizes other than the specific game prize during the normal game (specifically, the specific game prize during the specific introduction game, the specific introduction game prize, the first small role prize, the second small role prize, and the third small role prize) )
Can also be defined. Then, a lottery probability of a specific game prize during a normal game is relatively high, and a specific game prize during a specific introduction game, a specific introduction game prize, and a small probability of winning a small role prize are relatively low. The lottery probability of the specific game prize during the game, the specific introduction game prize and the small role prize is relatively high, and the probability of the specific game prize during the normal game is relatively low, and the lottery table 113 is alternately arranged in the order of setting. Repeatedly, even if you do this,
The gaming machine 10 with even more varied gameplay can be provided.

The setting is not limited to six steps from 1 to 6, but may be, for example, four steps from 1 to 4, or eight steps from 1 to 8.
Also, the lottery table 113 is not limited to six from the first to the sixth, but may be, for example, four from the first to the fourth according to the setting. There can be eight.
