  In the present embodiment, the member card RW902 is integrally attached to the slot machine 1, but instead, the member card RW may be provided separately from the slot machine 1. For example, a member card RW may be provided in a coin sand disposed between slot machines in a hall, and data transfer to the corresponding slot machine may be performed via the data transmission means.

  The RAM 1002 interfaces with the CPU 1001 and functions as a working area for the CPU 1001. Specifically, writing and reading of values of flags and variables necessary for control of game and symbol change are performed.

  The ROM 1003 includes a game program for controlling the slot machine 1 to pay out medals in a manner corresponding to the betting target medal input mode, initial values of variables used in the game program, combinations of symbols, and random numbers. A data group indicating a correspondence relationship is stored. In particular, the slot machine 1 is configured such that, according to the count value of the carry-over counter 901, a bonus effect image is displayed on the LCD 18 as a bonus to the player and a bonus effect sound is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. ing. Therefore, the table storage area TR of the ROM 1003 stores a table T1 (see FIG. 8) that is referred to when displaying a bonus effect image and outputting a bonus effect sound according to the count value of the carryover counter 901. ing.

  Here, both the above-described bonus effect image and bonus effect sound are for increasing the added value of the slot machine and do not directly affect the game. Specifically, the privilege effect image is a rare image (premier image) having a rare value compared to the normal effect image, and the appearance frequency is extremely low, and the appearance increases the player's sense of expectation and superiority. It is an image that gives a feeling. On the other hand, the above-mentioned privilege effect sound is a rare sound (premier sound) having a rare value compared to the normal sound, and the appearance frequency is very low, and the appearance enhances a player's expectation and gives a sense of superiority. It is a voice, and can be exemplified by a phrase such as an image character of the slot machine 1 or a dialogue.

  The clock pulse generation circuit 1004 is a circuit for generating a reference clock pulse, and supplies the generated reference clock pulse to the CPU 1001.

  The random number generator 1005 is a means for generating a random number used when the electronic lottery or the like related to the establishment of the above-mentioned combination is performed inside the machine 1 and extracting an arbitrary random number from the generated random number. The extracted random number is supplied to the CPU 1001. For example, when a command for generating a random number when performing a winning combination lottery is given from the CPU 1001 to the random number generator 1005, the random number generator 1005 generates a random number within a predetermined range and a signal indicating the value of the random number Is output to the CPU 1001.

  The lamp drive control circuit 1007 generates a lamp drive signal based on an instruction signal from the CPU 1001, and supplies the generated lamp drive signal to the various lamps 7A to 7E and 8 to 12. As a result, the various lamps 7A to 7E and 8 to 12 are lit or blinked to notify a predetermined event.

  The display device drive control circuit 1008 generates a display device drive signal based on an instruction signal from the CPU 1001, and supplies the generated display device drive signal to the various displays 14-16. As a result, the various indicators 14-16 display a predetermined event.

  The LCD drive control circuit 1009 generates an LCD drive signal based on an instruction signal from the CPU 1001 and supplies the generated LCD drive signal to the LCD 18. As a result, the LCD 18 displays various game effect information on the display surface.

  The sound output control circuit 10010 generates a sound output signal based on the instruction signal from the CPU 1001, and gives the generated sound output signal to the speakers 19A and 19B. As a result, the speakers 19A and 19B emit sound such as sound effects according to the game situation.

  The hopper drive control circuit 10011 generates a hopper drive signal based on an instruction signal from the CPU 1001, and gives the generated hopper drive signal to the hopper 30. As a result, the hopper 30 releases the stored medals to the tray 22.

[Configuration of reference table]
Referring to FIG. 8, in the reference table T1, both bonus effect images F1, F2, F3 and bonus effect sounds S1, S2, S3 are associated with the bonus flag carry-over game count value (count value of carry-over counter 901). It is registered. Therefore, when the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “3”, the first privilege effect image F1 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. Is output. When the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “6”, the second privilege effect image F2 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. Is done. Further, when the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “10”, the third privilege effect image F3 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. Is done.

  In a game in which the bonus combination is not carried over, the appearance frequency of the first privilege effect image F1, the second privilege effect image F2, and the third privilege effect image F3 is set to decrease in this order. Yes. Similarly, the appearance frequencies of the first benefit effect sound S1, the second benefit effect sound S2, and the third benefit effect sound S3 are also set lower in this order.

  In the following description, when the first privilege effect image F1 to the third privilege effect image F3 are collectively referred to as “privilege effect image F”, the first privilege effect sound S1 to the third privilege effect sound. When S3 is generically referred to, it is referred to as “privilege production sound S”.

[Flow of control]
Referring to FIG. 9, first, CPU 1001 in control device 100 waits for the betting line to be activated and the betting to be completed (step S1).

  When the betting line is activated by inserting a medal from the insertion slot 24 in the manual insertion mode, or by pushing the bet button 25 in the credit mode and taking the medal into the slot machine 1, the CPU 1001 completes the betting. And wait for the start lever 26 to be operated (step S2). At this time, the start lamp 8 is turned on or blinks.

  When the start lever 26 is operated, the CPU 1001 performs a lottery regarding the establishment of a winning combination (step S3). This lottery is performed inside the machine 1.

  When the winning combination lottery is completed, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the winning combination is a bonus combination (step S4). If the bonus combination is not won, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S5. On the other hand, when the bonus combination is won, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a bonus flag indicating that in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002 (step S6).

  When the bonus flag is stored, the CPU 1001 starts to rotate the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S7). As a result, the variable display of the symbols of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started in the display window 5.

  When the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started, the CPU 1001 presses all the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to complete the pushing operation, and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is stopped. (Step S8 and Step S9). When the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R are pushed, the CPU 1001 sequentially stops the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R according to the order of the pushes. As a result, in the display window 5, changes in the symbols of the rotating reels 6L, 6C, 6R are sequentially stopped and displayed.

  When the pressing of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R is completed and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R is stopped, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not a bonus winning combination has been established (step S10). When the combination of the winning combination winning symbols is aligned on the active line and the bonus winning is established, the CPU 1001 performs a bonus game process (step S11). Since this bonus game process is the same as a conventionally known process, its description is omitted. After the bonus game process, the CPU 1001 erases the bonus flag stored in the predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002 (step S12). Then, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S1 again and waits for the bet to be completed.

  On the other hand, if the bonus combination winning is not established, the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” without deleting the bonus flag (step S13). At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After the bonus flag carry-over game count value is incremented, the CPU 1001 activates the membership card RW902 to record the points corresponding to the count value on the membership card C (step S14). Then, the CPU 1001 determines a bonus flag carry-over game number count value (a count value of the carry-over counter 901) (steps S15 to S17). When the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “3” (YES in step S15), the CPU 1001 uses the table T1 stored in the table storage area TR of the ROM 1003 with the count value “3” as a parameter. Based on this reference result, the first privilege effect image F1 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S18 and step S19). At this time, in the lower right corner of the first privilege effect image F1 displayed on the LCD 18, as shown in FIG. 12A, the first privilege effect image is accessed by accessing the server of the first website. A first QR code C1 is attached so that data can be downloaded to a mobile phone possessed by the player. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S24 and step S25. When the bonus flag game number count value is “6” (NO in step S15 and YES in step S16), the CPU 1001 uses the count value “6” as a parameter to store the table T1 stored in the ROM 1003. Based on this reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S20 and step S21). At this time, in the lower right corner of the second privilege effect image F2 displayed on the LCD 18, as shown in FIG. 12B, the second privilege effect image is accessed by accessing the server of the second website. A second QR code C2 that allows data to be downloaded to a mobile phone possessed by the player is attached. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S24 and step S25. Further, when the bonus flag game number count value is “10” (NO in both step S15 and step S16 and YES in step S17), the CPU 1001 uses the count value “10” as a parameter in the table T1. Based on this reference result, the third privilege effect image F3 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S22 and step S23). At this time, in the lower right corner of the third privilege effect image F3 displayed on the LCD 18, as shown in FIG. 12C, the third privilege effect image is accessed by accessing the server of the third website. A third QR code C3 that enables downloading of data is attached. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S24 and step S25. Furthermore, when the bonus flag carry-over game count value does not correspond to any of “3”, “6”, and “10” (NO in any of steps S15 to S17), the CPU 1001 Without performing the display process of the special effect image F and the output process of the special effect sound S, the process returns to step S1 and waits for the completion of the bet.

  In step S24 and step S25, the CPU 1001 erases the benefit effect image F displayed on the LCD 18 when the bet in the next game is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S2 again and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated.

  In step S5, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a small combination. If the winning combination is a small combination, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S26 (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, if the winning combination is not a small combination, the CPU 1001 regards it as a loss and moves the process to step S47 (see FIG. 11).

  Referring to FIG. 10, when proceeding to step S <b> 26, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a small combination flag indicating that a small combination is won in the lottery regarding the formation of the combination in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the small combination flag is stored, the CPU 1001 starts the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S27).

  When the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started, the CPU 1001 presses all the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to complete the pushing operation, and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is stopped. It waits to do (step S28 and step S29).

  When the pressing of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R is completed and the rotations of all the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R are stopped, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not a small winning combination has been established (step S30). When the combination of the winning combinations for the small role is aligned on the active line and the winning combination for the small role is established, the CPU 1001 pays out in a manner corresponding to the input mode of the betting object medal (step S31). Specifically, in the manual insertion mode, medals are paid out to the tray 22. On the other hand, in the credit mode, medals paid out within a range not exceeding the upper limit of credit are stored in the slot machine 1 as credits. However, when the upper limit of credit is exceeded, the number of medals exceeding the upper limit are paid out to the tray 22. When this payout ends, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S32. On the other hand, when the winning of the small role is not established, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S32 without performing the above-mentioned payout.

  In step S32, the CPU 1001 erases the small combination flag stored in the predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002. This means that the small role flag is erased every time one game is finished and is not carried over to the next game.

  When the small role flag is deleted, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the gaming state carries over the bonus flag, that is, whether or not the bonus flag is stored in the RAM 1002 (step S33). When the gaming state is not the bonus flag carry-over state, that is, the bonus flag is not stored in the RAM 1002, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S1 (see FIG. 9) again and waits for the bet to be completed. On the other hand, if the gaming state is a bonus flag carry-over state, that is, a state where a bonus flag is stored in the RAM 1002, the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” (step S34). . At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After the bonus flag carry-over game count value is incremented, the CPU 1001 activates the membership card RW902 to record points corresponding to the count value on the membership card C (step S35). Then, the CPU 1001 determines the bonus flag carry-over game count value of the carry-over counter 901 (steps S36 to S38). If the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “3” (YES in step S36), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T1 using the count value “3” as a parameter, and based on this reference result, The first privilege effect image F1 to which the first QR code C1 is attached is displayed on the LCD 18, and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (steps S39 and S40). . Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S45 and step S46. When the bonus flag game number count value is “6” (NO in step S36 and YES in step S37), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T1 using the count value “6” as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 with the second QR code C2 attached is displayed on the LCD 18 and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B ( Step S41 and Step S42). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S45 and step S46. Further, when the bonus flag game number count value is “10” (NO in both step S36 and step S37 and YES in step S38), the CPU 1001 uses the count value “10” as a parameter in the above table. With reference to T1, based on the reference result, the third privilege effect image F3 with the third QR code C3 attached is displayed on the LCD 18, and the third privilege effect is displayed from the speakers 19A and 19B. The voice S3 is output (step S43 and step S44). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S45 and step S46. Furthermore, when the bonus flag carry-over game count value does not correspond to any of “3”, “6”, and “10” (NO in any of steps S36 to S38), the CPU 1001 Without performing the display process of the special effect image F and the output process of the special effect sound S, the process returns to step S1 and waits for the completion of the bet.

  In step S45 and step S46, the CPU 1001 erases the benefit effect image F displayed on the LCD 18 when the bet in the next game is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S2 (see FIG. 9) again and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated.

  Referring to FIG. 11, when the process proceeds to step S47, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a loss flag indicating that it has shifted to the lottery regarding the formation of the winning combination in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the storage of the miss flag is completed, the CPU 1001 starts the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S48).

  When the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started, the CPU 1001 presses all the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to complete the pushing operation, and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is stopped. It waits for (step S49 and step S50).

  When the pressing of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R is completed and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R is stopped, the CPU 1001 stores them in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002 without performing a winning determination. The off flag is erased (step S51).

  When the off flag is deleted, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the gaming state is a state where the bonus flag is carried over (step S52). If the gaming state is not the bonus flag carry-over state, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S1 (see FIG. 9) again and waits for the completion of the bet. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the bonus flag carry-over state, the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” (step S53). At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After the bonus flag carry-over game count value is incremented, the CPU 1001 activates the membership card RW902 and records the points corresponding to the count value on the membership card C (step S54). Then, the CPU 1001 determines the bonus flag carry-over game count value of the carry-over counter 901 (steps S55 to S57). When the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “3” (YES in step S55), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T1 using the count value “3” as a parameter, and based on the reference result, The first privilege effect image F1 attached to the first QR code C1 is displayed on the LCD 18, and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (steps S58 and S59). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S64 and step S65. When the bonus flag game number count value is “6” (NO in step S36 and YES in step S37), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T1 using the count value “6” as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 attached to the second QR code C2 is displayed on the LCD 18, and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S60). And Step S61). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S64 and step S65. Further, when the bonus flag game number count value is “10” (NO in both steps S55 and S56 and YES in step S57), the CPU 1001 uses the count value “10” as a parameter in the above table. With reference to T1, based on the reference result, the third privilege effect image F3 attached to the third QR code C3 is displayed on the LCD 18, and the third privilege effect sound S3 is displayed from the speakers 19A and 19B. Are output (step S62 and step S63). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S64 and step S65. Furthermore, when the bonus flag carry-over game count value does not correspond to any of “3”, “6”, and “10” (NO in any of steps S55 to S57), the CPU 1001 Without performing the display process of the special effect image F and the output process of the special effect sound S, the process returns to step S1 and waits for the completion of the bet.

  In step S64 and step S65, the CPU 1001 erases the benefit effect image F displayed on the LCD 18 when the bet in the next game is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S2 (see FIG. 9) again and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated.

  In addition, with the download of the privilege effect image to the mobile phone, the privilege effect sound corresponding to the image can be downloaded at the same time.

[Action / Effect]
According to the first embodiment, the following operations and effects are achieved.

  (1) When any winning combination is established in the lottery regarding establishment of a winning combination, a flag indicating the establishment of the winning combination is stored. When the stored flag is a bonus flag related to a bonus winning combination, the bonus winning combination is stored. Until it is determined that has won, the bonus flag is carried over after the next game. The number of games for which the bonus flag is carried over is counted by a carry-over counter 901. Each time the count value of the carry-over counter 901 reaches a predetermined value, different predetermined bonus effect images F are displayed as bonuses to the player and different predetermined bonus effect sounds S are output. Therefore, a new service is provided to the player. This is because the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the active line even though the bonus flag is established, and the bonus combination cannot be achieved easily, and the bonus flag is carried over for several games. In the meantime, this is a kind of remedy for a poor player who often uses the game medium wastefully.

  (2) The count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed on the LCD 18. Therefore, the player can easily confirm the number of games in which the bonus flag has been carried over, and this can be used as a reference for acquiring the above-described privilege effect image F and privilege effect sound S.

  (3) In accordance with the count value of the carry-over counter 901, the bonus effect image F and the bonus effect sound S are selected, the bonus effect image F is displayed, and the bonus effect sound S is output. Therefore, depending on the privilege effect image F and the privilege effect sound S, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that has shifted to the rare stage (premier stage).

  (4) The bonus effect image F is attached with a QR code for accessing the server on the Internet information network storing the bonus effect image data so that the bonus image data can be downloaded to the mobile phone. Yes. Therefore, if the bonus effect image data is downloaded to the mobile phone using the QR code attached to the bonus effect image F, the bonus effect image is displayed on the mobile phone standby screen, voice call screen, mail reception screen, mail connection screen, etc. Can be used as.

  (5) The hall where the slot machine 1 is installed corresponds to a service point provided to the player, and a point having a size corresponding to the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is given to the player as a privilege. Therefore, a new added value can be added to the slot machine.

<Embodiment 2>
The feature of the slot machine 1 according to the second embodiment is that a predetermined privilege effect image F is displayed and a predetermined privilege effect sound S is output according to the count value range of the carry-over counter 901. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  Therefore, privilege effect images F1 to F3 are displayed in the table storage area TR of the ROM 1003 according to the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value (count value of the carry-over counter 901) as shown in FIG. In addition, a table T2 that is referred to when outputting the bonus effect sounds S1 to S3 is stored.

[Configuration of reference table]
Referring to FIG. 13, in the reference table T2, bonus effect images F1 to F3 and privilege effect sounds S1 to S3 are registered in association with the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value (count value of the carry-over counter 901). . Therefore, when the bonus flag carry-over game count value is in the range of “1 to 3”, the first privilege effect image F1 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege from the speakers 19A and 19B. The production sound S1 is output. When the bonus flag carry-over game count value is in the range of “4 to 6”, the second privilege effect image F2 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the second privilege effect is displayed from the speakers 19A and 19B. Audio S2 is output. Further, when the bonus flag carry-over game number count value is “7 or more”, a third privilege effect image F3 is displayed on the LCD 18, and a third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. Is output.

[Control flow]
Referring to FIG. 14, first, CPU 1001 in control device 100 waits for the betting line to be activated and the betting to be completed (step S101).

  When the betting line is activated, the CPU 1001 determines that the betting has been completed, and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated (step S102).

  When the start lever 26 is operated, the CPU 1001 performs a lottery regarding the establishment of a winning combination (step S103).

  When the winning combination lottery is completed, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the winning combination is a bonus combination (step S104). If the bonus combination is not won, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S105. On the other hand, when the bonus combination is won, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a bonus flag indicating that in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002 (step S106).

  When the bonus flag is stored, the CPU 1001 starts the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S107).

  When the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started, the CPU 1001 presses all the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to complete the pushing operation, and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is stopped. It waits for (step S108 and step S109).

  When the pressing of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R is completed and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R is stopped, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not a bonus combination winning is achieved (step S110). When the bonus winning is established, the CPU 1001 performs a bonus game process (step S111). After the bonus game process, the CPU 1001 erases the bonus flag stored in the predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002 (step S112). Then, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S101 again and waits for the bet to be completed.

  On the other hand, if the bonus combination winning is not established, the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” without deleting the bonus flag (step S113). At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After the bonus flag carry-over game count value is incremented, the CPU 1001 activates the membership card RW902 to record the points corresponding to the count value on the membership card C (step S114). Then, the CPU 1001 determines the range of the bonus flag carryover game count value (count value of the carryover counter 901) (step S115 and step S116). If the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “1 to 3” (YES in step S115), the CPU 1001 uses the count value as a parameter for the table T2 stored in the table storage area TR of the ROM 1003. Based on the reference result, the first privilege effect image F1 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S118 and step S119). In the lower right corner of the first privilege effect image F1 displayed on the LCD 18, the first privilege effect image data is downloaded to the mobile phone possessed by the player by accessing the server of the first Web site. The first QR code C1 that can be used is attached. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S124 and step S125. When the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “4 to 6” (NO in step S115 and YES in step S116), the CPU 1001 uses the count value as a parameter and stores the table stored in the ROM 1003. With reference to T2, based on this reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S120 and step S121). In the lower right corner of the second benefit effect image F2 displayed on the LCD 18, the second privilege effect image data is downloaded to the mobile phone possessed by the player by accessing the server of the second Web site. The second QR code C2 to be enabled is attached. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S124 and step S125. Furthermore, when the bonus flag game number count value is “7 or more” (NO in both steps S115 and S116), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, and the reference result Based on the above, the third privilege effect image F3 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S22 and step S23). In the lower right corner of the third privilege effect image F3 displayed on the LCD 18, the third privilege effect image data can be downloaded by accessing the server of the third Web site. QR code C3 is attached. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S124 and step S125.

  In step S124 and step S125, the CPU 1001 erases the benefit effect image F displayed on the LCD 18 when the betting in the next game is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S102 again and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated.

  In step S105, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a small combination. If the winning combination is a small combination, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S126 (see FIG. 15). On the other hand, if the winning combination is not a small combination, the CPU 1001 regards it as a loss and moves the process to step S147 (see FIG. 16).

  Referring to FIG. 15, in step S126, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a small combination flag indicating that a small combination is won in the lottery regarding the formation of the combination in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the storage of the small combination flag is completed, the CPU 1001 starts rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S127).

  When the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started, the CPU 1001 presses all the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to complete the pushing operation, and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is stopped. (Steps S128 and S129).

  When the pressing of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R is completed and the rotations of all the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R are stopped, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not a small winning combination has been established (step S130). When the winning of the small role is established, the CPU 1001 pays out in a manner corresponding to the input mode of the betting target medal (step S131). When this payout ends, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S132. On the other hand, if the winning combination of the small role is not established, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S132 without performing the above-mentioned payout.

  In step S132, the CPU 1001 erases the small combination flag stored in the predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the small role flag is deleted, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the gaming state has carried over the bonus flag (a state in which the bonus flag is stored in the RAM 1002) (step S133). If the gaming state is not a bonus flag carry-over state (a state where no bonus flag is stored in the RAM 1002), the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S101 (see FIG. 14) again and waits for the completion of the bet. On the other hand, when the gaming state is a bonus flag carry-over state (a state where a bonus flag is stored in the RAM 1002), the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” (step S134). . At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After the bonus flag carry-over game count value is incremented, the CPU 1001 activates the membership card RW902 to record the points corresponding to the count value on the membership card C (step S135). Then, the CPU 1001 determines the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value of the carry-over counter 901 (step S136 and step S137). When the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “1 to 3” (YES in step S136), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, and based on this reference result The first privilege effect image F1 to which the first QR code C1 is attached is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (steps S139 and S140). ). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S145 and step S146. Further, when the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “4 to 6” (NO in step S136 and YES in step S137), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 with the second QR code C2 attached is displayed on the LCD 18, and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. (Step S141 and Step S142). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S145 and step S146. Further, when the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “7 or more” (NO in both steps S136 and S137), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the third privilege effect image F3 with the third QR code C3 attached is displayed on the LCD 18, and the third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. (Step S43 and Step S44). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S145 and step S146.

  In step S145 and step S146, the CPU 1001 erases the benefit effect image F displayed on the LCD 18 when the bet in the next game is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S102 (see FIG. 14) again and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated.

  Referring to FIG. 16, when the process proceeds to step S 147, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a losing flag indicating that it has shifted to the lottery regarding the formation of the winning combination in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the storage of the miss flag is completed, the CPU 1001 starts the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S148).

  When the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is started, the CPU 1001 presses all the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to complete the pushing operation, and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, 6R is stopped. It waits to do (step S149 and step S150).

  When the pressing of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R is completed and the rotation of all the reels 6L, 6C, and 6R is stopped, the CPU 1001 stores them in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002 without performing a winning determination. The loss flag is erased (step S151).

  When the loss flag is deleted, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the gaming state is a state where the bonus flag is carried over (step S152). If the gaming state is not the bonus flag carry-over state, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S101 (see FIG. 14) again and waits for the bet to be completed. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the bonus flag carry-over state, the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” (step S153). At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After the bonus flag carry-over game count value is incremented, the CPU 1001 activates the membership card RW902 and records a point corresponding to the count value on the membership card C (step S154). Then, the CPU 1001 determines the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value of the carry-over counter 901 (steps S155 and S156). When the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “1-3” (YES in step S155), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, and based on this reference result The first privilege effect image F1 attached to the first QR code C1 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (steps S158 and S159). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S164 and step S165. Further, when the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “4 to 6” (NO in step S136 and YES in step S137), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, Based on this reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 attached to the second QR code C2 is displayed on the LCD 18, and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S2).

According to the first embodiment, in addition to the same operations and effects as (2) to (5) of the first embodiment, the following operations and effects are achieved.

  When any combination is established in the lottery regarding the formation of a combination, a flag indicating the formation of the combination is stored. If this stored flag is a bonus flag for a bonus combination, the bonus combination is won. Until it is determined that the bonus flag is carried over after the next game. The number of games for which the bonus flag is carried over is counted by a carry-over counter 901. While the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is within a predetermined range, the same privilege effect image F is displayed and the same privilege effect sound S is output as a privilege to the player. Therefore, a new service is provided to the player. This is because the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the active line even though the bonus flag is established, and the bonus combination cannot be achieved easily, and the bonus flag is carried over for several games. In the meantime, this is a kind of remedy for a poor player who often uses the game medium wastefully.

A first QR code C1 that can be downloaded is attached to the mobile phone. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S324 and step S325. When the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “4 to 6” (NO in step S315 and YES in step S316), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (step S320 and step S321). Note that the second bonus effect image F2 displayed on the LCD 18 is accessed in the same manner as in the first embodiment by accessing the server of the second Web site and storing the second bonus effect image data of the player. A second QR code C2 that can be downloaded is attached to the mobile phone. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S324 and step S325. Furthermore, when the bonus flag game number count value is “7 or more” (NO in both steps S315 and S316), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, and refers to this reference. Based on the result, the third privilege effect image F3 is displayed on the LCD 18 and the third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (steps S322 and S323). The third benefit effect image F3 displayed on the LCD 18 is attached with a third QR code C3 that allows access to the third Web site server to download the third benefit effect image data. Is done. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S1324 and step S325.

  In step S324 and step S325, the CPU 1001 erases the benefit effect image F displayed on the LCD 18 when the betting in the next game is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S302 again and waits for the start lever 26 to be operated.

  In step S305, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a small combination. If the winning combination is a small combination, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S326 (see FIG. 22). On the other hand, if the winning combination is not a small combination, that is, it is out of play, the CPU 1001 shifts the processing to step S347 (see FIG. 23).

  Referring to FIG. 22, when the process proceeds to step S326, the CPU 1001 writes and stores a small combination flag indicating that the small combination is won in the lottery regarding the formation of the combination in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the small combination flag is stored, the CPU 1001 starts the rotation of the reels 6L, 6C, 6R (step S327).

When the winning of the small role is established, the CPU 1001 pays out in a manner corresponding to the input mode of the betting target medal (step S331). When the payout is completed, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S332. On the other hand, if the winning combination of the small role is not established, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S332 without performing the above-mentioned payout.

  In step S332, the CPU 1001 erases the small combination flag stored in the predetermined memory area of the RAM 1002.

  When the small combination flag is deleted, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the gaming state is a state where the bonus flag is carried over (step S333). If the gaming state is not a bonus flag carry-over state, the CPU 1001 returns the process to step S301 (see FIG. 21) and waits for the bet to be completed. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the bonus flag carry-over state, the CPU 1001 operates the carry-over counter 901 to increase the count value by “1” (step S234). At this time, the count value of the carry-over counter 901 is displayed at an appropriate position on the display surface of the LCD 18. After incrementing the bonus flag carry-over game count value, the CPU 1001 transmits points corresponding to the count value to the host computer HC together with the player's membership number read by the membership card reader 903 from the membership card C (step). S335). Then, the CPU 1001 determines the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value of the carry-over counter 901 (steps S336 and S337). When the range of the bonus flag carry-over game count value is “1 to 3” (YES in step S336), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, and based on this reference result The first privilege effect image F1 to which the first QR code C1 is attached is displayed on the LCD 18 and the first privilege effect sound S1 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B (steps S339 and S340). ). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S345 and step S346. When the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “4 to 6” (NO in step S336 and YES in step S337), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the second privilege effect image F2 with the second QR code C2 attached is displayed on the LCD 18, and the second privilege effect sound S2 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. (Step S341 and Step S342). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S345 and step S346. Further, when the range of the bonus flag game number count value is “7 or more” (NO in both steps S336 and S337), the CPU 1001 refers to the table T2 using the count value as a parameter, Based on the reference result, the third privilege effect image F3 with the third QR code C3 attached is displayed on the LCD 18, and the third privilege effect sound S3 is output from the speakers 19A and 19B. (Step S343 and Step S344). Thereafter, the CPU 1001 moves the process to step S345 and step S346.
