2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional game machine of this type, after inserting a game medium such as a medal or a coin into a slot, a variable display section, which is three drums displaying identification information as a pattern, is rotated, When the rotation of the variable display section is stopped by sequentially pressing the stop means, which is a stop switch, and when the variable display section is stopped,
A slot machine is generally used, in which when a certain number of pieces of identification information are gathered, a predetermined number of game values are given and game contents are awarded.

In such a slot machine, when the display result stopped and displayed on the three variable display portions becomes a combination of predetermined specific identification information and a specific gaming state (big bonus) is established, first, Predetermined number of times (3
(0 times) A second game occurs in which a small hit occurs with a high probability. During the second game, for example, by stopping the replay identification information, a game (jack game) to which a high payout is awarded is performed a plurality of times (for example, 15 game contents are awarded out of 12 times of the number of jack games). It ends when the number of times played is 8 times or when it exceeds 12 times of the jack game.) The game shifts to the first game (regular bonus) that can be performed, and when the first game ends, it shifts to the second game. First
The game is repeated a predetermined number of times (3 times) within a predetermined number of times of the second game (30 times). For example, if the first game is repeated three times within 30 times of the second game, or if the second game is played 30 times, the big bonus ends.

As another game of the first game and the second game, there is a game machine provided with a challenge time game which is continuously performed for a certain period after the end of the specific game state. When the stock game is started during the game of the challenge time and the specific game state is established in the stock game, the establishment flag is stored, and after the stock game is finished, the specific game is executed for the number of the stored establishment flags of the specific game state stored. The state is what is to be done.

When the combination of is aligned, the specific game state is started. Regular bonus (hereinafter simply referred to as RB
Called. ) And a big bonus (hereinafter, simply referred to as BB), and the specific game control means 120 controls them.

In RB, for example, a game (jack game) to which a high payout is awarded is repeated a plurality of times (for example, 15 game contents are awarded eight times out of 12 times of the number of jack games, or , It ends when the number of jack games exceeds 12 times.) This is the first game (regular bonus) that can be performed.

BB is a second game in which a small number of small hits occur with a high probability at a predetermined number (30 times), and during the second game,
For example, by stopping the replay identification information, a game (jack game) to which a high payout is awarded is performed a plurality of times (for example,
When the number of times that 15 game contents are awarded out of the 12 times of 12 times of the jack game occurs, or when the number of jack games for 12 times is exceeded, the game ends. ) It shifts to the first game (regular bonus) that can be performed, and when the first game ends, it shifts to the second game. The first game is repeated a predetermined number of times (3 times) within the predetermined number of times of the second game (30 times). For example, if the first game is repeated three times within 30 times of the second game, or if the second game is played 30 times, the big bonus ends. Every time a small hit occurs in the second game,
For example, 10 medals are awarded. As for BB, there are an A type in which RB is repeated three times and a B type in which RB is repeated twice. Hereinafter, when the B type BB is described separately from the A type BB, it is referred to as a quasi BB.
