FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display screen of the main display 3. On the display screen of the main display 3, a slot game display area 101, a baseball game display area 102, and a character display area 103 are provided. The slot game display area 101 is an area for playing a general slot game. More specifically, the reel display portions 101L, 101C, 101R are arranged in a horizontal row on the reel display portions 101L, 101C, 101R. Each reel display unit 101L, 101C, and 101R displays a reel image on which a plurality of types of symbols are rotated by variably displaying three symbols in the vertical direction at the same time. Later, the symbol selected as the stop symbol is displayed to stop at the center position. These reel display units 101L, 101C, and 101R stop and display symbols in a matrix in the vertical and horizontal directions, and generate a winning based on the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the active line (pay line). It has become.

  The above symbols include “1BAR”, “2BAR”, “3BAR”, “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, and the like. For example, when a winning combination of “1BAR”, “2BAR”, and “3BAR”, which is a winning combination of a small role, is awarded, a predetermined number of coins 100 are paid out. Further, when winning a winning combination of symbols of “Red 7” and “Blue 7”, a predetermined number of coins 100 are paid out and the game state is shifted to a free game. Here, the free game is a gaming state in which a game can be played without inserting coins 100 or pressing bet buttons 22, 23, and 24. Specifically, the symbol combination “red 7” enables 20 free games, and the symbol combination “blue 7” allows 10 free games. The free game is also executed when the hitting lottery result when winning a small role in the main game becomes a hit or home run.

  Although not shown, the slot game display area 101 currently credits the number of coins 100 bet (BET number) bet on one game, the number of coins 100 earned in one game, and the like. The number of credits of the coin 100, character information indicating the current state of the game, and the like are displayed.

  The baseball game display area 102 is an area for playing a baseball game. Note that the baseball game is linked with the slot game. For example, when the player wins a small role in the slot game, if a single hit is made and a score is given by a hit or a home run, the score is obtained. This is reflected as an increase in the number of coins 100 to be paid out. Further, as will be described later, it is possible to grasp the tendency of winning combination of the slot game by the feature of the batter.

  More specifically, in the baseball game display area 102, the state of the baseball field is simplified and displayed, and the progress made by the home base 111, the first base 112, the second base 113, and the third base 114 is displayed. A haze display unit 115 is arranged at the center of the region. Each of the bases 111 to 114 is configured such that when there is an advancing runner, the advancing situation can be easily grasped by changing the shape, color, and light intensity. For example, in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the runner is in second base by changing the shape and color of the second base 113.

  A batting content display area 116 is arranged inside the progress display portion 115. The hit content display area 116 is an area showing the hit result, and displays a single hit, a two-base hit, a three-base hit, and a home run. A game content display area 119 is arranged above the progress display portion 115. The game content display area 119 displays various information such as commentary, score difference, and batter content of the baseball game. For example, at the start of the game, a 9-time back 2-out display, a display losing by a 5-point difference, and a display without runner are performed.

  Also, batter box areas 117 and 118 are arranged on the left and right of the home base 111 in the progress display section 115. In the batter box areas 117 and 118, characters showing the characteristics of the batter's batting contents can be made to appear. Specifically, three types of characters, a home run batter 121, an average batter 122, and a normal batter 123 can appear. The home run batter 121 is formed so as to indicate the hit content that the probability of hitting the home run is high. The average batter 122 is formed so as to indicate the hit content that the probability of hitting is high. The normal batter 123 is formed so as to indicate the hit content that the probability of hitting and hitting a home run is normal. These batters 121 to 123 are associated with three types of winning probability lottery tables used when the winning combination in the slot game is drawn. In the three types of winning probability lottery tables, as will be described later, lottery probabilities for winning combinations are set so as to correspond to the characteristics of the batting contents. Accordingly, the player can check the batters 121 to 123 appearing in the batter box areas 117 and 118 to grasp the tendency of the game in the slot game, that is, the tendency to easily win a small role. It has become.

  A character display area 103 is arranged on the left side of the progress display unit 115. In the character display area 103, standby batters 121 to 123 are displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the home run batter 121 appears in the batter box area 117, the home run batter 121 is erased from the character display area 103, and it is clarified that the batter is currently being hit. .

(Data table)

Specifically, in the range extraction range of 0 to 255, a random number range of 0 to 179 corresponding to the normal batter 123, a random number range of 180 to 230 corresponding to the average batter 122, and 231 to 1 corresponding to the home run batter 121 A random number range of 255 is set. Accordingly, the normal batter 123 is drawn with a probability of about 70%, the average batter 122 is drawn with a probability of about 20%, and the home run batter 121 is drawn with a probability of about 10%.

(Data table: Batter substitution lottery table)
The batter replacement lottery table is used to determine whether or not to replace the batters 121 to 123 displayed in the batter box area 117. As shown in FIG. 8, random numbers corresponding to batter continuation and batter replacement are used. A range is set. Specifically, in the range extraction range of 0 to 255, a random number range of 0 to 179 corresponding to batter continuation and a random number range of 180 to 2550 corresponding to batter replacement are set. Thereby, in the main game and the free game, the probability that the same person as the batters 121 to 123 that appeared in the current game will appear in the next game is 70% or more due to the relationship with the batter lottery table.

(Data table: Random lottery table for normal batters)
The normal batter combination probability lottery table is a data table that is selected when determining the winning combination when the normal batter 123 appears in the batter box area 117, as shown in FIG. In this probability lottery table, “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “3BAR”, “2BAR”, “BAR”, and “Loose” exist as possible winning combinations, and these roles are in the random range of 0-16383. It is supposed to be won by. This probability lottery table has a lower probability of winning a small role than the average batter role probability lottery table, which will be described later, and “red 7” and “blue 7” than the home run batter role probability lottery table. The probability of winning the winning combination is set to be low.

  Specifically, in addition to paying out coins, the winning roles that image the home run of “Red 7” and “Blue 7” that make the transition from the main game to the free game and continue the free game are 0-15 When a random number range and a random number range of 16 to 55 are extracted, respectively, winning is performed with a probability of 16/16384 and a probability of 40/16384. That is, the winning combination that makes the image of a home run win with a probability of 56/16384. In addition, the winning combination that makes the hits of “3BAR”, “2BAR” and “BAR”, which are small roles, extracted the random number range of 56 to 127, the random number range of 128 to 255, and the random number range of 256 to 1023, respectively. Wins with a probability of 72/16384, a probability of 128/16384, and a probability of 768/16384, respectively. That is, the winning combination that makes a hit image wins with a probability of 896/16384. In addition, the winning combination that makes the image of “losing” out wins with a probability of 1546/16384 when a random number range of 1024 to 16383 is extracted.

The home run batter winning probability lottery table is a data table that is selected when determining the winning combination when the home run batter 121 appears in the batter box area 117, as shown in FIG. This probability lottery table is similar to the above-mentioned normal batter role probability lottery table and average batter role probability lottery table, and is “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “3BAR”, “2BAR”, “BAR”, and “ "Let's win" exists as a winning combination, and these winning combinations are made to win in a random number range of 0-16383. The probability lottery table is set so that the winning combination of “red 7” and “blue 7” that makes the image of a home run win with a higher probability than the normal batter role probability lottery table. Specifically, the winning combination of “Red 7” and “Blue 7” is set to win with a probability of 90/16384 when a random number range of 0 to 89 is extracted.

(Data table: Battering lottery table for normal batters)
The normal batter batting lottery table is a data table that is selected when determining the batting contents when the normal batter 123 appears in the batter box area 117, as shown in FIG. In this lottery table, “single hit”, “2 base hit”, “3 base hit”, “home run” and “out” exist as winning combinations, and these combinations are selected in a random number range of 0-255. It has become. The probability lottery table is set such that the probability of winning a hit is lower than the average batter hitting lottery table described later, and the probability of winning a home run is lower than the home run batter hitting lottery table. That is, the batting rate is 0.270, and it is set to be a batter who hits a home run at a rate of one at 28 bats.

  Specifically, “single hit”, “2 base hit”, and “3 base hit” are 39 when a random number range of 0 to 38, a random number range of 39 to 53, and a random number range of 54 to 59 are extracted, respectively. Wins with a probability of / 256, a probability of 15/256 and a probability of 6/16384, respectively. “Home run” is won with a probability of 9/256 when a random number range of 54 to 59 is extracted. “Out” is won with a probability of 187/256 when a random number range of 69 to 255 is extracted.

As with the normal batter hitting lottery table, this lottery table includes “single hit”, “2 base hit”, “3 base hit”, “home run” and “out”. The winning range is 0 to 255. The probability lottery table is set so that the probability of winning a home run is higher than that of the normal batter batting lottery table. Specifically, the “home run” is won with a probability of 25/256 when a random number range of 39 to 63 is extracted. This means that one home run comes out at a rate of 1 per 10 batters, and means that more home runs are hit at a rate of 28 at batters of the normal batter 123.

(Operation of gaming machine 1)
In the above configuration, the operation of the gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to the main game routine of FIG. 15 and the free game routine of FIG.

  In the gaming machine 1, various routines such as the main game routine of FIG. 15 and the free game routine of FIG. 16 are executed independently and in parallel. At the start of the game, the game state is initially set to the main game, and is set to the baseball game state where the player has lost 9 times, 2 outs, no runners, and 5 points difference. In addition, an alternation flag indicating whether or not the batter is substituted is set in a set state so that the batter lottery process is executed. Then, the image control circuit 71 displays an operation on the main display 3 as an image by the execution of such a main game routine and a free game routine.

(Operation of gaming machine 1: main game routine)
When the main game routine is executed, it is first determined whether or not the game state is the main game (S1). If it is not the main game (S1, NO), this routine is terminated and a free game or the like different from this game is executed. On the other hand, if it is a main game (S1, YES), start acceptance processing is performed. Specifically, it waits for the player's BET and waits for the coins 100 to be bet on one game to be inserted from the coin insertion slot 6 or to press the bet buttons 5c to 5e when credits remain ( S2).

  When the BET is made by the player, next, a replacement flag indicating whether or not the batter is changed is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the replacement flag is set to indicate a batter change (S3). If the batter is changed (S3, YES), a batter lottery process for lottering batters appearing in the current game is executed. Specifically, random lottery is performed based on the batter lottery table of FIG. 7, and any one of the normal batter 123, average batter 122, and home run batter 121 is selected (S4). Then, the part lottery process is executed based on the selected batter (S5). On the other hand, if the batter is not changed (S3, NO), the part lottery process is executed without changing the batter (S5). The selected batter is displayed in the batter box area 117 on the main display 3 so that the player can grasp that the role lottery process corresponding to the batter box area 117 is performed.

  In the role lottery process of S5, it is selected from the normal batter role probability lottery process table in FIG. 9, the average batter role probability lottery process table in FIG. 10, and the home run batter role probability lottery process table in FIG. A winning combination lottery processing table corresponding to the batter is selected, and the winning combination is drawn based on this table. Specifically, when the home run batter 121 is selected and appears in the batter box area 117, the winning combination of “red 7” and “blue 7” that image the home run is more than that when the normal batter 123 appears. It will be easy to win. Also, when the average batter 122 is selected and appears in the batter box area 117, it is easier to win the winning role of a small role such as “BAR” that images a hit than when the normal batter 123 appears. (S5).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the start button 25 has been pressed (turned on) (S6). If the button has not been pressed (S6, NO), S6 is re-executed to wait for the pressing operation of the start button 25. State is maintained. On the other hand, when the start button 25 is pressed (S6, YES), the reel rotation process is executed, and the reel display portions 101L, 101C, and 101R displayed in the slot game display area 101 are rotated to win the winning combination. The display is stopped so as to obtain a corresponding symbol combination. For example, if the winning combination is “Red 7”, the “Red 7” symbol is stopped so as to be aligned on the winning line. If the winning combination is “losing”, the small role and “red 7” and “blue 7” symbols are stopped so that they are not aligned on the winning line (S7).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is “losing” (S8). If it is “losing” (S8, YES), a batter substitution lottery process is executed, and the next time using the batter substitution lottery table of FIG. Whether or not to replace the batter in the game is drawn (S9). Then, it is determined whether or not the lottery result is a batter change (S10). If the lottery result is not a batter change (S10, NO), the routine is terminated without paying out the coin 100. On the other hand, if the batter is changed (S1, YES), the batter change flag is set so as to indicate the batter change (S26), and then this routine is terminated without paying out the coin 100.

  If the winning combination is not “losing” (S8, NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the winning combination is “small combination” (S11). If the winning combination is not “Small” (S11, NO), it is determined whether the winning combination is “Red 7” (S12). If it is not “Red 7” (S12, NO), the winning combination is determined. It is determined that the winning combination is “blue 7”, and the count value of the free game is set to “10” so that the free game is played ten times continuously (S13). On the other hand, if the winning combination is “Red 7” (S12, YES), the free game count value is set to “20” so that the free game is played 20 times continuously (S14). When the count value of the free game is set in this way (S13 / S14), the payout rate indicating the rate at which the coin 100 is paid out is set to “1” (S15). Then, after the game state value indicating the game state is set to a free game so that the next game becomes a free game (S16), coin payout processing is executed (S25).

  On the other hand, when the winning combination is “small combination” (S11, YES), the batting lottery process is subsequently executed. Specifically, if the home run batter 121 is in the bat, the home run batter hitting lottery table of FIG. 14 where the home run is likely to come out is selected, and the batting contents are drawn based on this table. If the average batter 122 is in the bat, the hitting lottery table for average batters in FIG. 13 where hits are likely to occur is selected, and the batting contents are drawn based on this table. If the normal batter 123 is in the bat, the normal batter batting lottery table of FIG. 12 is selected, and the batting contents are lottery based on this table (S17).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the hit content is “out” (S18). If it is “out” (S18, YES), coin payout processing is executed (S25). On the other hand, if it is not “out” (S18, NO), it is determined whether or not the hit content is “home run” (S19). If it is a “home run” (S19, YES), the payout rate of the coin 100 is set to “5” so that the payout number of the coin 100 is increased five times the payout number of the coin 100 by the winning combination (S21). ). On the other hand, if it is not “home run” (S19, NO), the payout rate of the coin 100 is set to “2” so as to increase twice the number of payout of the coin 100 by the winning combination (S20).

  Thereafter, the free game count value is set to “F” so as to indicate that the free game has been made due to the hit content being hit or home run (S22). Thereafter, the game state value is set to “free game” (S23). Then, the advancement process is executed. For example, if it is a single hit, the batter advances to the first base, and if it is a home run, the batter goes around the base and adds points. Note that in the main game routine, the back of the 9th time is 2 out and there is no runner, so 1 point is added only during the home run.

  Thereafter, a coin payout process is executed, and the number of coins 100 obtained by multiplying the payout number of the winning combination by the payout rate is paid out. Specifically, when the winning combination is “red 7” or “blue 7”, or when the hit content is “out”, the number of coins 100 corresponding to the number of payouts of the winning combination is paid out. When the hit content is “hit”, the number of coins 100 obtained by multiplying the payout number of the winning combination by twice the payout rate is paid out. If the hit content is “home run”, the number of coins 100 obtained by multiplying the number of winning combinations to be paid out by 5 times the payout rate is paid out (S25). Thereafter, a change flag is set to indicate a batter change (S26). Then, it is determined whether or not the game state value is set to the free game (S27). If the game state value is not set to the free game (S27, NO), this routine ends while the game state is maintained in the main game. Is done. On the other hand, if the game state value is set to the free game (S27, NO), after the game state is shifted to the free game (A28), this routine is ended. As a result, as long as the game state is set to the main game, only the main game routine is substantially executed in the subsequent games. When the game state is set to the free game, only the free game routine is substantially executed so that the free game is played in the next game.

(Operation of gaming machine 1: free game routine)
When the main game routine is executed as described above, the free game routine is executed in parallel. When the free game routine is executed, it is first determined whether or not the game state is a free game (A1).

  If it is not a free game (A1, NO), this routine is terminated and a main game or the like different from this game is executed. On the other hand, if it is a free game (A1, YES), the cause of the transition from the main game to the free game is specified. In other words, in order to determine whether the game has shifted to a free game due to the hit content being a hit, or whether the game has shifted due to a winning combination of “Red 7” and “Blue 7”, the free game count value is “ It is determined whether or not F ″ (A2). If the free game count is “F” (A2, YES), it is determined that the game has shifted to the free game because the hit content is a hit, and A6 is executed. On the other hand, if the free game count is not “F” (A2, NO), it is determined that the game has shifted to the free game due to the winning combination of “red 7” and “blue 7”, and the free game count is “1”. Subtracted (A3). Then, it is determined whether or not the free game count value has become “0” (A4). If it is not “0” (A4, NO), A6 is executed. On the other hand, if “0” (A4, YES), the game state value is set to the main game so that the next game becomes the main game (A5), and then A6 is executed. As a result, when the player moves to the free game due to the winning combination of “Red 7” or “Blue 7”, the batting result is “Out” and the game is forcibly transferred to the main game, or the bonus is reversed and reversed. Until the game shifts, the free game will be played 20 times or 10 times continuously.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the batter is changed by checking the batter change flag (A6). If the batter change flag is set (A6, YES), the batter lottery process is executed (A7), and then The combination lottery process is executed (A8). Specifically, random lottery is performed based on the batter lottery table of FIG. 7, and after the normal batter 123, average batter 122, or home run batter 121 is selected, the role lottery process is executed based on the selected batter. Is done. On the other hand, if the batter is not changed (A6, NO), the combination lottery process is executed without changing the batter (A8).

  In the role lottery process of A8, it is selected from the normal batter role probability lottery process table of FIG. 9, the average batter role probability lottery process table of FIG. 10, and the home run batter role probability lottery process table of FIG. A winning combination lottery processing table corresponding to the batter is selected, and the winning combination is drawn based on this table (A8).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the start button 25 has been pressed (turned on) (A9). In the free game routine, the player's BET is not waited for by the start acceptance process in the main game routine. Thereby, the player can continue the game without betting in the free game.

  If the start button 25 is not pushed (A9, NO), A9 is re-executed to maintain the waiting state for the push operation of the start button 25. On the other hand, when the start button 25 is pressed (A9, YES), the reel rotation process is executed, and the reel display portions 101L, 101C, and 101R displayed in the slot game display area 101 are rotated to win the winning combination. The display is stopped so as to obtain a corresponding symbol combination (A11).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is “losing” (A12). If it is “losing” (A12, YES), a batter substitution lottery process is executed, and the next time using the batter substitution lottery table of FIG. Whether or not to replace the batter in the game is drawn (A13). Then, it is determined whether or not the lottery result is a batter change (A14). If the lottery result is not a batter change (A14, NO), this routine is terminated without paying out the coin 100. On the other hand, if the batter is changed (A14, YES), the batter change flag is set so as to indicate the batter change (A29), and then this routine is terminated without the coin 100 being paid out.

  When the winning combination is not “losing” (A12, NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the winning combination is “small combination” (A15). If the winning combination is not “Small” (S15, NO), it is determined whether the winning combination is “Red 7” (A16), and if it is not “Red 7” (A16, NO), the winning combination is determined. It is determined that the winning combination is “blue 7”, and the count value of the free game is set to “10” so that the free game is played ten times continuously (A18). On the other hand, when the winning combination is “red 7” (A16, YES), the free game count value is set to “20” so that the free game is played 20 times (A17). When the count value of the free game is set in this way (A17 / A18), the payout rate indicating the rate at which the coin 100 is paid out is set to “1” (A19). Then, a coin payout process is executed (A28).

  On the other hand, when the winning combination is “small combination” (A15, YES), the batting lottery process is subsequently executed. Specifically, if the home run batter 121 is in the bat, a home run batter hitting lottery table where the home run is likely to come out is selected, and the batting contents are drawn based on this table. Further, if the average batter 122 is in the bat, the average batter hitting lottery table that is likely to hit is selected, and the batting contents are lottery based on this table. If the normal batter 123 is in the batting table, the normal batter batting lottery table is selected, and the batting contents are lottery based on this table (A20).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the hit content is “out” (A21), and if it is “out” (A21, YES), the initial state recovery process is executed, and the 9th back 2 out, no runner, 5 points difference It is set to the state of the baseball game losing by (A22). Thereafter, the game state value is set to the main game (A23), and a coin payout process is executed (A28). As a result, when the hit content is out, the next game is returned to the main game, assuming that the game is over.

  On the other hand, if the hit content is not “out” (A21, NO), the advancement process is executed based on the hit content of the “home run” or “hit” and the state of the runner (runner), and the advance state or score The state, total score, etc. are calculated (A24). Then, after the payout rate is set based on the score in the current game (A25), it is determined whether the five-point difference is reversed based on the total score (A26). If reversed (A26, YES), after the game state value is set to the bonus game (A27), coin payout processing is executed (A28). On the other hand, if not reversed (A26, NO), the coin payout process is executed with the game state value maintained in the current free game (A28).

  In the coin payout process, the number of coins 100 obtained by multiplying the payout number of the winning combination by the payout rate is paid out. Specifically, when the winning combination is “red 7” or “blue 7”, the hit content is “out”, or there is no score, the number of coins 100 corresponding to the number of payouts of the winning combination Will be paid out. When there is a score, the payout rate obtained by adding “1” to the score is multiplied by the payout number of the winning combination, and the multiplied number of coins 100 is paid out. That is, when one point is scored, double payout is performed, and when two points are scored, triple payout is performed (A28). Thereafter, a change flag is set to indicate batter change (A29). Then, it is determined whether or not the game state value is set to the main game (A30). If the game state value is set to the main game (A30, YES), after the game state is set to the main game (A31), This routine is terminated. On the other hand, if it is not set to the main game (A30, NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the game state value is set to the bonus game (A32). If the bonus game is set (A32, YES), this routine is ended after the game state is shifted to the bonus game (A33). On the other hand, if the bonus game is not set (A32, NO), this routine is terminated while the game state is maintained as a free game. As a result, as long as the game state is set to a free game, only the free game routine is substantially executed in the subsequent games. In addition, when the game state is set to the bonus game or the main game, only the bonus game routine or the free game routine (not shown) is substantially executed so that the bonus game or the main game is performed in the next game. become.

(Outline of this embodiment)
As described above, the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment provides a game value when the game result displayed based on the winning combination is in a predetermined display mode, and displays an effect image. Display means (main display 3 and the like) and effect contents determining means (home run batter hitting lottery) for determining the display contents of the effect image (characters, posture, movement, etc. of the home run batter 121, average batter 122, normal batter 123, etc.) Table, average batter hitting lottery table, normal batter hitting lottery table, etc.) and effect image display control means (image) for displaying the effect image on the effect image display means with the display content determined by the effect content determining means Control circuit 71) and a plurality of different lottery probability data for determining the winning combination by lottery. Lottery probability data group storage means (ROM 34 etc.) storing groups (home run batter role probability lottery table, average batter role probability lottery table, normal batter role probability lottery table, etc.) corresponding to the display contents of the effect image And lottery probability data group selection means (main game routine, free game routine, main CPU 32, etc.) for selecting a lottery probability data group corresponding to the display content of the effect image determined by the effect content determination means, The winning combination determining means (random number generator 35, etc.) for determining the winning combination by lottery based on the lottery probability data group selected by the lottery probability data group selecting means.

  In the present embodiment, the display contents of the effect image are described using three kinds of batters (characters) of the home run batter 121, the average batter 122, and the normal batter 123. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There may be two or more types of batters (characters). Further, in addition to the batter (character), the same batter, such as the swing speed or the posture of the bat, may be used as the display content of the effect image.

  According to the above configuration, the lottery probability data group corresponding to the display content of the effect image is selected from a plurality of different lottery probability data groups, and the winning combination is selected based on the selected lottery probability data group. Will be reflected in the game result, so that the player can check the display contents of the effect image to win the game based on the lottery probability data group that is likely to be the game result of the display mode to which the game value is given. It is possible to easily grasp whether or not a lottery of a combination is being performed. As a result, it is possible to recognize the degree of possibility of a game result to which a game value is given by a plurality of effects based on a relationship between a plurality of lottery probability data groups and display contents of the effect image. In some cases, the game result can be recognized by a complicated performance rather than the simple performance that produces the presence / absence of the possibility of the game result.

  Further, the display contents of the effect image indicate the characteristics of the baseball batter's batting contents (home run batter 121, average batter 122, normal batter 123), and the lottery probability data group includes the characteristics of the batting contents. (A home run batter role probability lottery table, an average batter role probability lottery table, and a normal batter role probability lottery table).

  According to the above configuration, the display content of the production image shows the characteristics of the hit content of a well-known baseball batter, and the lottery is performed so that it becomes a lottery for the winning role reminiscent of the characteristics of the hit content. Since the probability data group is configured, there is a case where the entertainment of the game by the production is further enhanced.

  Moreover, the characteristics of the hit content are three types of normal batter, home run batter, and average batter, and the lottery probability data group corresponding to the home run batter (home run batter use probability lottery table) is the normal batter. The lottery probability corresponding to the average batter is configured such that the winning combination that gives a large game value compared to the lottery probability data group (normal batter role probability lottery table) corresponding to can be drawn with high probability. For the data group (average batter use probability lottery table), the winning combination that gives a smaller game value is more likely than the lottery probability data group (normal batter use probability lottery table) corresponding to the normal batter. The lottery can be selected.

  According to the above configuration, the normal batter, home run batter, and average batter are the display contents of the production image. For example, if the home run batter hits many home runs, the winning combination that gives a large game value has a high probability. In some cases, it is possible to clarify the lottery of the winning combination that is reminiscent of the characteristics of the batting contents so that it can be easily associated with the fact that the lottery is drawn.
