Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that finishes a special game by paying out a predetermined number of game media.
The present invention also relates to a game machine program and a computer-readable recording medium in which the game machine program is recorded, and more specifically, a game machine program and a game machine program that function as advantageous game transition determining means and the like The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded.

Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, specifically, there is a slot machine that is installed and used in a gaming hall such as a pachinko parlor. In this slot machine, a predetermined value is given to the game medal as the game medium, and the game medal acquired by performing the game can be exchanged for various prizes.
In this slot machine, game medals, which are game media, are inserted into the slot machine from the medal slot, and by operating a start switch, rotating reels (symbol display means) arranged in a plurality of rows (for example, 3 rows) are rotated. The rotation of the rotating reel can be stopped by pressing a stop switch (stop operation means). And this slot machine wins an internal lottery which is an electronic lottery based on sampling of random numbers with a predetermined probability, and when a symbol around the rotating reel can be placed in a predetermined symbol arrangement and won, The predetermined number of game medals are paid out to the payout medal tray by the payout device.

Conventionally, some games include a normal game and a special game that can give a player a greater profit than the normal game, for example, a bonus game. This bonus game is set to start based on winning of a specific winning combination constituted by a specific symbol. And as this special game (bonus game), a specific game (so-called regular bonus game (RB game)) that can give more profits to the player than a normal game, or a predetermined number of high-probability general games (general games in BB) ) May be provided with a specific introduced game (so-called big bonus game (BB game)).
That is, as a bonus game, there is a big bonus game (BB game), and this game can be performed by winning a special winning combination.

Here, in the RB game, as a symbol configuration determined as a predetermined winning combination, a game can be shifted when symbols of three rotating reels are aligned with, for example, “BAR-BAR-BAR” on the winning line. The RB game is completed by winning a maximum of 8 times or playing a maximum of 12 games.
The BB game can be shifted to when the symbols of the three rotating reels are aligned with the winning line, for example, “7-7-7”. In this BB game, the RB game can be executed a predetermined number of times (for example, a maximum of 3 times). Further, in the BB game, in a general game in the BB game that has not shifted to the RB game, that is, a so-called BB general game, it is possible to play a game with a higher winning probability than in the normal game. In the general game during BB, when the symbol structure determined as the winning combination of the RB game is completed, the game shifts to the RB game. When this BB game is played, a large number of game medals can be obtained as compared to the normal game.

Conventionally, the end condition of the BB game is set to end the RB game a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) during the BB game, or end the general game during the BB game a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times). What you are doing is common.
Then, during the BB game, before the RB game reaches a predetermined maximum number (for example, 3 times), the BB game reaches the predetermined maximum number (for example, 30 times) and the BB game ends. This is called punk. A skilled person who has excellent skill in the field is a so-called “replay removal” as a technique for increasing the number of game medals to be obtained by performing as many times as possible of the general game during the BB without puncturing this game during the BB game. There is. This is because, during a BB game, a general game during BB and an RB game can be played. Generally, when a specific symbol (for example, “replay”) is aligned between the general games during BB, the RB game Is set to migrate. And during the general game in BB, the lottery probability of the small role winning is set higher than that in the normal game. Therefore, within a limited number of general games during BB (within a range that does not become punctured), a specific symbol (for example, “Replay”) is intentionally removed so that it does not line up on the active winning line, and a general game during BB is performed. By extending the number of times, more game medals can be obtained (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-078849 A

However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, a skilled person who is excellent in so-called skill can obtain a large number of game medals in the BB game by using the skill, but is inferior to the skill of aiming. There was an unfair feeling among players that a beginner can only acquire a few game medals. In games, a certain level of technical intervention is necessary in terms of promoting the fun of the game, but if a large difference occurs in the number of game medals acquired due to the difference in the skills, the skill of pushing is inferior There was a first problem that beginners and players unfamiliar with the contents of the game were significantly disadvantaged and could not enjoy the game.
In addition, in the BB game, in order to prevent a skilled person from acquiring too many game medals compared to beginners, the number of game medals increased during the BB game by removing the restriction on the number of general games during BB. It is also possible to set a limit on the upper limit of the increased number of games, and to end the BB game when the number of game medals increased during the BB game reaches the upper limit number. However, in such a case, the BB game has a second problem that the increased number of games becomes a digest game until the upper limit number of games is reached, resulting in a monotonous and boring game.

Specifically, the notification device 66 includes two left and right speakers 67 embedded in the lower portion of the housing 11, and a display device 68 including a large dot-shaped panel LED disposed in the upper center of the display window 12. And five notification lamps 69 arranged at the peripheral edge of the display window 12. The notification device 66 is controlled by the production control device 22 to generate a winning sound or winning sound from the speaker 67 at the time of winning or winning, and by turning on or blinking the notification lamp 69, and also on the display device 68. By lighting up a design pattern or a character string, the player is notified of winning or winning.

The display device 68 displays an increased number of game medals increased during the BB game during the BB game. The increased number here is set to the difference between the number of game medals inserted by the player and the number of game medals paid out from the storage and payout means 65 to the player as a result of the game. . Further, the increased number in the BB game here is a count of the increased number of game medals in both the BB game in the BB game and the specific game in the RB game performed in the BB game. . Note that the increased number may be set only for the number of game medals actually paid out without setting the difference number.
The display device 68 displays a predetermined number (specifically, 465) of numerical values as a BB game end condition. When the increased number reaches 465 or more, the BB game is set to end. As a result, the maximum number of acquired sheets is 465 in the BB game. For this reason, the player can advance the game while being aware of how many additional sheets in the BB game will reach after the 465 sheets. It should be noted that the display device 68 may display the difference between the maximum number (465) that can be acquired as the BB game end condition and the number of increase until the present. As a result, it is possible to grasp with a specific numerical value how many more sheets will reach the BB game end condition.

The display device 68 displays the set number of games during the BB game and the number of games from the beginning during the BB game. Thereby, the player can endeavor to make the end game count of the BB game equal to the set game count while taking the set game count.
(Game control means 27)
The game control means 27 is for performing stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 for the symbol display means 62.
The game control means 27 functions as the following means (1) to (3) as shown in FIG.

(1) Normal game control means 70
(2) Special game control means 80
(3) Advantageous game control means 75
The game control means 27 is not limited to the above (1) to (3). The normal game control means 70 performs control related to a normal game in order to perform a normal game, and the special game control means 80 performs control related to a special game in order to perform a special game. The game control means 75 performs control related to advantageous games in order to cause advantageous games to be performed.

(Normal game control means 70)
The normal game control means 70 is for causing a normal game to be performed.
That is, when the start switch 30 is operated on condition that the medal is inserted or the bet switch 16 is inserted, the reel unit 60 is driven and the three rotary reels 40 start to rotate. Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped. When all three stop switches 50 have been operated, all the rotations of the three rotary reels 40 are stopped. At this time, when a predetermined symbol 61 stops on the winning line of the display window 12, a predetermined number of medals are paid out via the storage payout means 65. In addition, you may credit instead of paying out a medal.

  When winning a prize, a game medal will be paid out, and a small role winning will be given to the player (if this small role wins, a small role will be awarded). Special wins that give players even greater profits than wins (if this special win wins, a special win will be awarded), and when winning, no game medals will be paid out, but a new game medal will be inserted And “winning replay (replay)” (when this replay win is won, it becomes a replay win). When the lottery result is one of the winnings (also referred to as an internal winning), a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established.

  Here, the “flag” is a memory for storing the fact that the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is winning a predetermined winning combination, and in the case of a small winning combination, A small winning combination flag is established, and when the lottery result is a special winning, a special winning flag is established. Then, during the establishment of the special winning flag, the combination of the stop symbols 61 of the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 is determined as a predetermined symbol combination (for example, “7 The game is designed to win a special game that is advantageous to the player, on the condition that it matches with "a match of 3". If the special winning flag is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbols 61 of the rotating reel 40 does not match the symbol composition determined as the winning combination, the right to establish the winning flag is carried over to the subsequent games. Is set to Note that the winning flag for winning the small role is not carried over to the next game with the right to establish the winning flag when the winning flag is not awarded in the game in which the winning flag is established.

  In the present embodiment, a stop table is used as stop control. Therefore, whether or not the corresponding symbol 61 can be aligned on the winning active line while any of the winning flags is established corresponds to the twenty-one symbols previously described on the selected stop table. It is determined by the number of sliding frames at each stop operation position (No0 to No20). For example, the symbols on the winning effective line of the left rotating reel 43, the central rotating reel 44, and the right rotating reel 45 are set to win the BB game by sequentially stopping in blue seven, blue seven, and blue seven. . Specifically, for example, when the winning flag of the BB game is established, when the stop operation position at the reference position on the right rotating reel 45 is No6, from the position of No6 on the selected stop table. Assume that the blue seven is positioned after 3 frames, and that 3 is set in advance as the number of sliding frames at the position No. 6. In such a case, at the reference position, the symbol of No. 6 is rotated by 3 frames and the symbol of Blue Seven is stopped. Thus, the number of sliding frames at each stop operation position is set in advance in the stop table. And, like the stop table in the case of winning the BB game, a stop table when each winning combination is won and a stop table in the case of losing are prepared in advance, depending on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 A predetermined stop table is selected.

The “winning combination” means a combination of winning symbols determined in advance on each rotary reel 40 and means a general term of winning modes for winning. Specifically, the winning combination is, for example, winning when the stop symbols on the predetermined winning active line of the left, middle and right rotating reels 40 are blue seven, blue seven, and blue seven, respectively. This means a combination of winning symbols (winning mode).
(Special game control means 80)
The special game control means 80 is for causing the player to perform a special game advantageous based on the lottery result of the lottery means.

The special game is roughly divided into the following games.
(1) Specific introduction game (BB game)
(2) Specific game (RB game)
(3) Specified winning game (JAC game)
Note that a specific game, for example, an RB game, is set to be performed within a predetermined number of times during a specific introduction game, for example, a BB game. Also, it may be set to be performed alone. The specific winning game, so-called JAC game, is played during the RB game. Further, the special game is not limited to the above-described games (1) to (3).

Specifically, in a normal game, although not shown, for example, when three symbols 61 such as “7” are arranged on the winning pay line, for example, 15 medals are paid out via the storage payout means 65. At this time, the BB game is started.
As shown in FIG. 2, the special game control means 80 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Specific introduction game control means 91 (BB game control means 90)
(2) Specific game control means 101 (RB game control means 100)
(Specific introduction game control means 91)
The specific introduction game control means 91 is a BB game control means 90 for controlling the BB game.

Specifically, when shifting to the BB game, the BB medium and small role game similar to the normal game is started by inserting a maximum of three medals, and the prize is valid when the rotation of the three rotary reels 40 is stopped. The medals are paid out depending on whether or not the symbol composition determined as the winning combination is on the line.
Accordingly, in the BB medium / small role game in the BB game, a lottery including the small role is performed every time as in the normal game. However, when the symbol structure determined as the winning combination for shifting to the RB game during the BB game is aligned on the winning line, the game shifts to the RB game thereafter.

Normally, during the BB game, the transition to the RB game can be performed a plurality of times. Therefore, after the first RB game is finished, the BB medium and small similar to the normal game as described above is used. The lottery and control of the role games are performed.
The BB game is set to end on the condition that the number of game medals increases by paying out a predetermined number or more of game medals. Specifically, the increased number counting means 130 counts the increased number of game medals increased by payout during the BB game. The special game end determining means 140 determines the end of the BB game on the condition that the increased number counted by the increased number counting means 130 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (specifically, 465). It is. In this embodiment, the increased number of game medals counted by the increased number counting means 130 is the difference between the number of game medals inserted and the number of game medals paid out as a result of winning. Counting. Of course, it is also possible to count only the number of payouts paid out from the storage / payout means 65, disregarding the number of input, and set it as the end condition.

(Specific game control means 101)
The specific game control means 101 is for controlling an RB game.
Specifically, when a transition is made to the RB game, one medal is inserted, and a specified winning game (so-called JAC game) that is awarded when a predetermined symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 is aligned on the center line of the display window 12 Is done. In the RB game, a specific winning game (so-called JAC game) for determining whether or not to win can be played a maximum of 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 wins are possible. In other words, the RB game ends when the maximum number of wins is eight or the specific winning game (so-called JAC game) ends at the maximum.

Note that the RB game includes a game that can be transferred during the BB game, and a so-called single RB game that shifts directly to the RB game without going through the BB game during the normal game.
(Advantageous game control means 75)
The advantageous game control means 75 is for controlling an advantageous game.
In this advantageous game, the game content is different from the game content of a special game such as a BB game or an RB game. This advantageous game is a game that can be played in a state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game. During an advantageous game, the high probability lottery table 116 is set to be used as the winning determination table 113 of the winning lottery means 110.

  In this embodiment, a game using the high-probability lottery table 116 as described above is performed as an advantageous game. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this. Specifically, for example, instead of the advantageous game as described above, a so-called assist time game (AT game) may be set as an advantageous game. This assist time game (AT game) is a game that can be played in a state more advantageous to the player than a normal game by assisting the player's operation of the gaming machine by notifying various information. . As types of information to assist, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110, information for notifying the winning combination won (for example, notification of small role winning or bonus game winning), stop operation order of the stop switch 50, When winning is valid only when the stop operation is performed in the set operation order, the notification of the stop operation order of the stop switch 50, or the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50 by sound, lamp lighting, etc. It includes so-called auxiliary timing of so-called eye-pressing timing. By obtaining such assist information, the player can advance the game in a more advantageous state than the normal game, and can obtain a lot of profits.

(Winning lottery means 110)
The winning lottery means 110 performs a lottery for determining whether or not to win based on a predetermined winning rate. When the lottery result by the winning lottery means 110 is a win (also referred to as an internal winning), a winning flag is established. During the establishment of the winning flag, a combination of stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 as the symbol display means 41 is determined. The winning combination is set on condition that the winning combination matches the predetermined winning combination, and the player is given a medal or a special game.
As shown in FIG. 3, the winning lottery means 110 is roughly divided into the following means.

(1) Winning random number generator 111
(2) Winning random number extraction means 112
(3) Winning determination table 113
(4) Winning determination means 114
The winning lottery means 110 is not limited to the above (1) to (4).
(Winning random number generator 111)
The winning random number generator 111 generates a random number for lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal number).

  Here, the “random number generating means” includes random numbers such as an average sampling method as a soft random number (a random number generating method by repeating n-digit numbers squared and taking out the central n-digit number). And a counter that uses a counter that adds a certain range of numbers one by one at high speed. For example, a counter in which numbers in the range of 0 to 65535 are sequentially repeated about several million times per second can be considered. The “random number extraction means” reads the counter number at the timing when the start switch is pressed. When formed in this way, the “random number generating means” does not generate random numbers, but the numbers extracted by the “random number extracting means” are distributed as if they were random numbers. In this case, means for obtaining a number indicating a distribution such as random numbers as a result is considered to be included in the “random number generating means” or the “random number extracting means”.

(Winning random number extraction means 112)
The winning random number extracting unit 112 extracts a random number generated by the winning random number generating unit 111 under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 30). This extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.
(Winning judgment table 113)
The winning determination table 113 has a winning area for each winning item in the entire random number area taken by the winning random number generator 111. The winning determination table 113 includes a normal probability lottery table 115 having a winning area for normal games, a high probability lottery table 116 having a winning area for advantageous games, and a BB gaming determination table 117 having a winning area in the BB game. And an RB game determination table 119 having a winning area in the RB game. The BB game determination table 117 includes an RB game determination table 119 having a winning area in the RB game, and a BB general game determination table 118 having a general game winning area in the BB game. . The RB game determination table 119 is specifically composed of a JAC game determination table having a winning area in the JAC game.

(Winning determination means 114)
The winning determination means 114 is composed of a winning area of each winning item in all areas of random numbers taken by the random number generating means 111 based on the extracted random number data extracted by the random number extracting means 112 and the winning rate data of the winning determination table 113. The winning determination area data is collated and the winning corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined.
(Setting game number determining means 120)
The set game number determining means 120 is for determining the set number of games that is the number of games of the general game in the BB in the BB game among the special games.

Here, the number of games in this specification means that the start switch 30 is pressed to start the rotation display of all three rotary reels 40, and then the stop switch 50 is stopped to operate all three. Until the rotation display of the rotary reel 40 is shifted to the stop display, the number of games is counted as one game.
The set game number determination means 120 determines the set game number based on a predetermined lottery probability. Specifically, the set game number determination means 120 determines the set game number by random lottery from 20, 30, or 40 times. Then, when the set game number determination means 120 determines that the set game number is 30, the lottery for shifting to the advantageous game is performed when the BB game ends at 30 times.

  Here, the set game number determination means 120 selects a predetermined game number of 20, 30, or 40 as the set number of games, and the set number of games is determined as a predetermined number of games. It may be set to a range. For example, as the set number of games, range A (game number range from 15 to 24), range B (game number range from 25 to 34), range C (game number range from 35 to 44) ) Three range groups are set in advance, and the set game number determination means 120 may determine one of the set game number ranges from the ranges A, B, and C. It is. When the set game number determining means 120 determines to use the range B by lottery, the set game number is set to a game number range from 25 to 34, and the BB game is set from 25 to 34. It may be set so that a lottery for shifting to an advantageous game is performed when the number of games in the range up to the number of times is over.

As shown in FIG. 5, the set game number determining means 120 includes the following means when roughly classified.
(1) Set game number random number generation means 121
(2) Set game number random number extraction means 122
(3) Set game number determination table 123

(Set game number random number extraction means 122)
The set game number random number extracting means 122 extracts a random number generated by the set game number random number generating means 121 under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 30). The extracted random number is used as the extracted random number data for the set number of games.
(Set game number judgment table 123)
The set game number determination table 123 has a winning area for each set game number among all the random number areas taken by the set game number random number generating means 121.

(Setting game number judging means 124)
The set game number determination means 124 is configured to extract all random numbers generated by the random number generation means 111 based on the extracted random number data for the set game number extracted by the set game number random number extraction means 122 and the winning rate data in the set game number determination table 123. The winning determination area data consisting of the winning area of each winning item in the area is collated, and the set game number (20, 30, 40) corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data for the set game number belongs is determined. To do.
(Increase number counting means 130)
The increased number counting means 130 is for counting the increased number of game medals increased during the BB game. The increased number of game medals increased during the BB game is the number of game medals inserted by the player and the number of game medals paid out from the storage / dispensing means 65 to the player as a result of winning the game. This means the difference in number. The increased number counting means 130 calculates the difference number by a calculation process. The increased number during the BB game calculated by the increased number counting means 130 is formed to be always displayed by the display device 68 during the BB game.

The increased number may be set only to the number of payouts paid out from the storage / payout means 65 without considering the number of game medals inserted by the player.
(Special game end determination means 140)
The special game end determining means 140 is for determining the end of the BB game on the condition that the increased number counted by the increased number counting means 130 is a predetermined number (465) or more. The special game end determining means 140 determines the size of the predetermined number (465) determined in advance during the BB game and the increased number calculated by the increased number counting means 130 for each game in the game during the BB game. Compare. As a result of the comparison, when the increased number calculated by the increased number counting means 130 becomes a predetermined number (465) or more, that is, the special game end determination means 140 determines the end of the BB game.

(End game count storage means 150)
The end game number count storage means 150 stores a value counting the number of games of the special game according to the determination by the special game end determination means. That is, the end game number count storage means 150 counts the number of games in the BB general game in the BB game, and the number of games in the BB general game in which the BB game is ended by the determination of the special game end determination means 140 This is for storing (the number of so-called end games). Specifically, the end game number count storage means 150 includes both a counter for counting the number of games for the BB game and a memory for storing the number of games for the BB game. The end game number count storage means 150 sets the initial game transferred to the BB game as the first game number of games, and thereafter, every time a game in the BB game is performed, the counter plays the BB game. +1 is added to the number of games and the number of games is counted. When the end of the BB game is determined by the special game end determination means 140, the end game number count storage means 150 uses the number of games added during the BB game as the number of games that ended the BB game, In other words, the number of end games is stored in the memory. Then, when the BB game is finished and the normal game is passed to the next BB game, the end game number count storage means 150 again sets the game number of the BB game to 1 again, as described above. It will count from the first time.

  In this embodiment, the counter of the end game number count storage means 150 sets the number of games once, twice, three times,... Once each time a general game in the BB game progresses. It is added one by one, and the number comparison means 160 described below determines whether or not it matches the set number of games. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and the end game number count storage means 150 is not limited to this. The counter is subtracted one time each time from 35 times, 34 times, 33 times, etc., every time the BB game in the BB game advances from a preset number of games, for example, 30 times, and the number of times is compared. By means 160, it may be determined whether or not the remaining number of games has been exhausted to zero.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the end game number count storage means (150) has the functions of both a counter for counting the number of games for the BB game and a memory for storing the number of games for the BB game. Although it is what is used also, it is not limited to what is used especially in such a thing. Specifically, the counter means for counting the number of games of special games and the memory means (storage means) for storing the number of games counted by the counter means are separately provided. Is also good.
(Number comparison means 160)
The number comparison means 160 is for comparing and determining the end game number in the end game number count storage means 150 and the set game number in the set game number determination means 120. Specifically, the number comparison unit 160 determines whether or not the end game number in the end game number count storage unit 150 is included in the set game number in the set game number determination unit 120. Further, specifically, the number comparison means 160 compares whether or not the end game number matches the set game number when the set game number is a single numerical value as in the present embodiment. To do. That is, when the set number of games is set to 30 times, the number comparison means 160 determines whether or not the number of end games is 30 times the set number of games.

When the set game number is formed from a predetermined numerical range, the number comparison means 160 determines whether or not the end game number is included in the numerical value range of the set game number. That is, when the set number of games is formed from a numerical range of 25 to 34 times, the number comparison means 160 indicates that the end game number is 25 to 34 times that is the numerical range of the set number of games. It is judged whether it corresponds to either.
When the set number of games is formed from a predetermined numerical range, the numerical range is a predetermined numerical value such as the upper limit value (34 times) and the lower limit value (25 times) as described above. It is not limited to what is set within the range, only the lower limit value (25 times) is set, and the number of end games is a numerical value equal to or higher than the lower limit value (for example, the number of games of 30 times or more). It is also possible to use such a condition. Conversely, the set number of games may be a condition that the number of games is set to a numerical value equal to or less than the upper limit (for example, the number of games of 30 or less).

(Advantageous game transition determining means 170)
The advantageous game transition determining unit 170 determines that the comparison result of the number comparison unit 160 indicates that the end game number is the set game number or falls within the range of the set game number. It is for making possible.

The transition lottery is performed, and based on the result of the transition lottery, the transition to the advantageous game is enabled. That is, if the comparison judgment result of the number comparison means 160 determines that the BB game end game count corresponds to (matches) the set game count (for example, 30), the advantageous game transition determination means 170 Transfer lottery using random numbers to determine whether or not to shift to. Then, as a result of the transfer lottery, when winning for winning is determined, the advantageous game transition determining means 170 determines the transition to the advantageous game.

  Specifically, when the advantageous game transition determining means 170 determines the transition to the advantageous game, the advantageous game using the high probability lottery table 116 can be executed only 20 times after the end of the BB game. . Of course, the number of games of this advantageous game is not limited to this, and may be another number. In addition, the number of executions of the advantageous game may be selected by lottery from a predetermined number of predetermined games at the same time as the lottery to the advantageous game by the advantageous game transition determining means 170. Further, the number of games of such an advantageous game is such that when the set number of games is 30, the number of games of the advantageous game is 30, and when the set number of games is 40, the number of games of the advantageous game is 40 times. The set number of games and the number of advantageous games may be set to have a predetermined correspondence.

The advantageous game end condition is not limited to the number of games as described above, but may be determined to be the number of game medals acquired. In other words, it may be set to end on the condition that the number of game medals acquired during the advantageous game has reached a predetermined number (for example, 1000) or more. Further, in addition to the above-mentioned game number end condition, an end condition for the number of game medals acquired may be set, and if either one of the end conditions is satisfied, the advantageous game may be set to end. It is.
