It is also conceivable to improve the interest by making it hold (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2003-38713 A

  However, in the prior art, when the bonus is won and the game is in the bonus internal state, the bonus can be won. Therefore, when the above-described game effect means is applied to the prior art, it is set corresponding to the bonus win. The effect at the time of the bonus is ended with the bonus winning, and the effect provided with the bonus winning cannot be fully enjoyed by the player. In particular, with regard to the continuous production, it was easy to end without reaching the final part, and there was a need for improvement.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a revolving type gaming machine capable of executing a production up to a complete part for a continuous production performed in accordance with a bonus winning with a high probability. .

The invention according to claim 1 is a symbol display device capable of displaying and stopping a plurality of symbols, a start means for operating the symbol display device in response to the operation, and the symbol display device. Main control means for determining whether or not to allow the stop display to be in a predetermined winning mode, and effect control means for controlling the output of the effect according to the determination, the start means being operated 1 game is started, and the stop display of the symbol display device is a win-winning game machine that becomes a winning when the winning mode is the winning mode, and the main control means is a player at the decision If the winning of the bonus combination for executing a game advantageous to the game is allowed, the winning of the replay combination that is considered to have inserted the game medium for executing the next game is determined by the determination of the bonus combination. When the high-probability replay control means that allows with high probability and the bonus combination and the replay combination are allowed at the same time than when the award is not permitted, the winning mode of the replay combination Stop display control means for giving priority to the symbol display device, and the effect control means, when the winning of the bonus combination is allowed in the determination, a series of games over a plurality of games The production includes high-probability continuous production means for outputting with higher probability than when the winning of the bonus combination is not permitted in the determination.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the rotary gaming machine according to the first aspect, the main control means includes a lottery means for lottering a winning combination that allows the winning, and the lottery means determines the determination. If the winning of the bonus combination is not permitted, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the winning of the bonus combination is permitted, and if the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the determination, The bonus combination lottery is not performed.

According to the invention described in claim 1, since the lottery is performed using the lottery table inside the bonus set with a high replay winning probability after the bonus winning game, the winning game is won for the replay after the next game. It becomes easy to do. In addition, since the replay is prioritized over the bonus in at least the reel pull-in control inside the bonus, it is difficult to win a bonus when winning the replay. Therefore, after the bonus winning game, a game that is difficult to win a bonus will occur with a high probability, so the probability that the continuous performance is interrupted by the bonus winning decreases. On the other hand, the production control means receives the winning combination information from the main control means and performs the selection lottery using the production selection lottery table inside the bonus with a large selection ratio of the continuous production. It is selected and produced with high probability, and as a result, the continuous production is executed within a few games from the bonus winning. By the above operation, the player can enjoy the continuous production with a high probability up to the completion part.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the state where the winning probability of the replay is high, the bonus lottery is not performed, thereby preventing the bonus from being won simultaneously. Therefore, even if the bonus winning time is delayed due to an increase in the replay winning probability, the player will not lose.

A swivel type gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 3, the swivel type gaming machine 1 includes a housing 2, and a display window portion 4 to which a transparent plate 3 is attached is provided at the center of the front surface of the housing 2. Inside the display window portion 4, first, second, and third reels (rotors) 5 a in which a plurality of types (21 in this embodiment) (not shown) are drawn on the outer peripheral surface are drawn. , 5b, 5c are arranged so as to be rotatable about an axis (not shown) extending in the left-right direction in FIG. In the present embodiment, the symbols provided on the reels 5a, 5b, 5c include the red number “7” (red seven) symbol, the blue number “7” (blue seven) symbol, and the “BAR” (bar) symbol. Eight types are used: replay symbol, cherry symbol, watermelon symbol, dark symbol, and bell symbol. The number of equivalent types of symbols used by each reel 5a, 5b, 5c does not necessarily match. Further, the arrangement order of the symbols of the reels 5a, 5b, 5c is different as schematically shown in FIG.
The reels 5a, 5b, and 5c are driven by the rotary motors 6 and can rotate and stop independently of each other.

A liquid crystal unit 7 for image effect is provided above the display window portion 4 of the rotating type gaming machine 1, and speakers 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the liquid crystal unit 7. The liquid crystal unit 7 and the speaker 8 are connected to the main control board CPU 10 </ b> A of the main control board (main control means) 10 via the sub control board (sub control means) 9. The sub-control board CPU 9a of the sub-control board 9 has a larger memory capacity than the main control board CPU 10a, makes the liquid crystal unit 7 easily display an image, and easily outputs sound information to the speaker 8. Can be made to
The liquid crystal unit 7 displays on the liquid crystal screen 13 a payout of the number of game medals that can be earned corresponding to the combination of symbols related to winning a prize, and provides a continuous effect (a game is produced over a plurality of games and the story reaches a complete part). An image production including a production) and a single production work (a work in which all contents can be produced in one game, hereinafter referred to as a normal production as appropriate) can be performed. The liquid crystal unit 7 is controlled by the sub control board 9 based on a command including the combination information from the main control board CPU 10a. When a continuous effect and a normal effect are produced by the liquid crystal unit 7, sound information is output from the speaker 8 in accordance with the progress of the image effect.

A middle substrate 15 is disposed in the central portion below the display window portion 4 of the rotating game machine 1. The middle board 15 includes a middle board body 16. On the front side of the middle board main body 16, a game medal payout number display 17 that displays the payout number of game medals (hereinafter referred to as medals) 100, and medals stored in the storage unit 18 as will be described later. A game medal storage number display 19 that displays the number of stored 100 medals and a game medal insertion number display 22 that displays the number of medals 100 inserted in the insertion unit 21 are arranged as will be described later.
On the front side of the central board main body 106, a start indicator 21 for displaying whether the start lever 10 is operable or impossible, and a game medal can be inserted into this machine. A thrown-in indicator 22 for displaying whether the state is in a state or impossible, and a replay indicator 23 for displaying this when the replay is activated are arranged.

  Note that the storage unit 18 and the insertion unit 21 are configured by a RAM area, which performs software management regarding the storage and insertion of the medals 100 described above, and is stored as numerical information indicating the number of medals 100. However, description will be made assuming that the medal 100 is stored and inserted as appropriate. The storage limit of the medal 100 of the storage unit 18 is 50, and the insertion limit of the medal 100 of the insertion unit 21 is 3.

  In this spinning machine 1, the start lever 25 is pressed in a state where medals 100 corresponding to the number of medals required for starting the game [the number of medals required for starting the game] are inserted in the insertion unit 21. As a result, the reels 5a, 5b and 5c are driven to start the game. At this time, when the start lever 25 is pressed, a signal generation unit 25a provided corresponding to the start lever 25 generates a game start instruction signal gs, and this game start instruction signal gs is input to the main control board CPU 10a. Is done. In response to the input of this signal, the main control board CPU 10a controls the rotating motor 6 to drive the reels 5a, 5b, 5c and start the game. The game is continued until all of first, second, and third stop buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c described later are pressed, and one game is completed when all the stop buttons are pressed.

  The three reels 5a, 5b, 5c are arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns in a stopped state. A total of five lines 27a to 27e including three lines 27a, 27b, and 27c in the upper, middle, and lower (three rows) and two diagonal lines 27d and 27e that pass through the central symbol can be used as winning lines. It has become. Which line (how many) of the five lines 27a to 27e becomes the winning line is determined by the number of inserted medals 100 (the number of bets) in the insertion unit 21. For example, in a state where the game can be started, the number of winning lines is determined by the number of medals 100 in the insertion unit 21 when the game is started by pressing the start lever 25. At this time, if three medals 100 are inserted in the insertion section 21, the number of winning lines is five, and if two are inserted, the number of winning lines is three and one is inserted. The number of winning lines is one.

In the present embodiment, in a normal state (a state where no major players are aligned), three medals 100 are inserted into the insertion portion 21 (so-called three bets), so that the start lever 25 thereafter The game can be started by pressing the button, and the number of medals required for starting the game is three. In addition, when the big actors are gathered (the bonuses (BB, CT1, CT2) described later are acquired), the game that can be started with the insertion of one medal 100 (one bet) can be started with the three bets. In this case, the number of medals required for starting the game is one.
When the three reels 5a, 5b, 5c are stopped, a predetermined symbol (hereinafter referred to as a winning combination symbol) is aligned on the winning line, and a predetermined winning combination is established, a prize is awarded corresponding to the aligned symbols. Thus, except for the case of replay, a predetermined number of medals 100 corresponding to the combination are paid out.

The combination includes a bonus (big player) that is advantageous to the player, a small role that is less advantageous than the bonus, and a replay.
In the bonus, the winning symbol is a red seven symbol, a big bonus (BB) is established when the red seven symbol is aligned with a winning line, and the challenge time 1 (CT1) is that the winning symbol is a blue seven symbol. There are three types of bonuses of challenge time 2 (CT2) in which the winning symbol is a bar symbol. When the bonus (BB, CT1, CT2) and replay are established, the gaming state corresponding to the combination (BB gaming state, CT1 gaming state, CT2 gaming state) is entered.

In the BB gaming state, the probability of winning a small role (bell, watermelon, cherry) is dramatically improved, and the player can obtain many medals 100 in a short period of time. The BB gaming state ends when the payout exceeds 345 cards.
In the CT1 gaming state, regardless of the lottery (internal lottery) result to be described later, any small role (bell, watermelon, cherry) can be won depending on the skill of the player. The CT1 gaming state ends when the payout exceeds 253 cards.
In the CT2 gaming state, regardless of the lottery result, it is possible to win any small role (bell, watermelon, cherry) depending on the skill of the player. The CT2 gaming state ends when the payout exceeds 110 cards.

There are three types of small roles: a bell small character whose bell symbol is the winning symbol, a watermelon symbol whose watermelon symbol is the winning symbol, and a cherry small character whose cherry symbol is the winning symbol. There is a small role.
The replay is a combination in which the replay symbol is the combination formation symbol, and when the replay is established, a replaying state in which a game can be performed again is performed without newly inserting the medal 100.
In the present embodiment, a bonus game is won in the internal lottery of the main control board CPU10a, and then a bonus game (BB game, CT1) is won by winning a bonus (bonus prize) when the bonus symbols are aligned. Game, CT2 game].

The main control board 10 includes a main control board CPU 10a, a main control board ROM 10b, a main control board RAM 10c, and a main control board random number generation means 10d, and mainly controls and manages the game contents and the payout of medals 100. ing. In the main control board ROM 10b, various programs relating to control of game contents, etc., general games, lottery tables 201 and 202 (FIGS. 5A and 5B) inside the bonus, and the above-described bonus games are displayed. A lottery table is stored.
The main control board RAM 10c temporarily stores work data in the arithmetic control of the main control board CPU 10a. The main control board random number generation means 10d generates a random number value and inputs it to the main control board CPU 10a.
The main control board CPU 10a executes the program stored in the main control board ROM 10b, thereby managing the gaming state, the internal lottery process based on the random number value, the driving / stopping process of the reels 5a, 5b, 5c, the sub control board 9 Processing to send commands to. The main control board CPU10a further performs reel pull-in control and disengagement control.

The reel pull-in control means that when the first, second, and third stop buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c are pressed, a predetermined number of frames from the symbols including the symbols on the winning line at the timing of pressing. When the symbol of the winning combination exists in the range of (for example, 5 frames), the stop position of the reels 5a, 5b, 5c is controlled so that the symbol of the winning combination is drawn on the winning line.
Further, the detachment control is to control the stop positions of the reels 5a, 5b, and 5c so that symbols of any combination are not arranged on the winning line. Therefore, in this case, even if the player aims at the role and presses the first, second, and third stop buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c, no role is established, and the game result is unsuccessful. Become.
For the reel control as described above, a known technique such as a sliding table may be applied.

The main control board CPU10a receives a game start instruction signal gs from the signal generator 25a, and performs a lottery that can acquire a bonus winning, a small role winning (general winning), and a replay winning. Then, winning combination information (in this case, including out-of-game information) indicating the lottery result is generated, and this winning combination information and a command indicating the status and gaming state of the reel unit 30 are output to the sub-control board 9.
The main control board CPU 10a has a random number generated by the main control board random number generating means 10d, a general game lottery table 201 (FIG. 5A) stored in the main control board ROM 10b, and a lottery table 202 [inside the bonus]. An internal lottery is performed using FIG. By this internal lottery, it is determined whether the game is a bonus winning, a small role winning (general winning), a replay winning or a miss. The general game lottery table 201 is selected and used in the general game state (the state where the bonus is not won), and the lottery table 202 inside the bonus is selected and used in the bonus internal medium game state.

  In addition, the main control board CPU10a performs lottery using the general game lottery table 201 (FIG. 5A) in the general game state (the state where the bonus is not won), and when the bonus is won by the internal lottery, the game state Is in the bonus internal game state, and a lottery (internal lottery) is performed using the lottery table 202 (FIG. 5B) in the bonus until the bonus is won from the next game. In addition, when a bonus is not won in a game won by internal lottery, the content of the right is carried over to the subsequent games, and when the corresponding bonus symbols are prepared, the bonus is won. For example, when the next game after the bonus winning game is a replay game winning, it is possible to arrange bonus symbols in the game of the replay game and the games thereafter and win a bonus. On the other hand, if the small role is not won in the winning game, it will be treated in the same way as a loss.

The lottery tables 201 and 202 in the general game and the bonus are random, such as a combination [bonus combination (BB, CT1, CT2), small combination (bell small combination, watermelon small combination, cherry small combination), replay), miss, etc. In accordance with the occurrence probability (winning probability) shown in the table by performing lottery using the table and the random number value from the main control board random number generation means 10d, Each role and detachment occurs (wins).
The contents of the lottery tables 201 and 202 in the general game and bonus are schematically shown in FIGS. Occurrence probability (winning probability) of a combination and detachment is shown by the angle occupied by each combination and detachment in the pie chart in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), and the values are roughly as follows: It has become.
Then, the main control board CPU 10a uses the lottery tables 201 and 202 in the general game and bonus, and the random number value from the main control board random number generation means 10d is shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B). The occurrence probability (winning probability) is determined as to which of the respective roles or missed, and the winning or missed is determined by this judgment.

In the general game lottery table 201, the occurrence probability (winning probability) is roughly determined as follows.
Replay winning: about 17%,
Bell win: about 6.9%, Cherry win: about 3,3%, Watermelon win: about 3.1%,
BB winning: about 1.1%, CT1 winning: about 1.1%, CT2 winning: about 1.1%,
Deviation: About 68.6%

Further, in the lottery table 202 inside the bonus, the occurrence probability (winning probability) is roughly determined as follows.
Replay winning: about 45.8%,
Bell win: 6.9% Cherry win: 3.1% Watermelon win: 3.3%
Winning bonus (out): approx. 40.9%
Bonus winning: 0%

The replay winning probability in the lottery table 202 inside the bonus is set to about 2.5 times that in the case of the replay winning in the general game lottery table 201.
In the internal bonus game state, in the pull-in control, it is determined that the priority is higher in the bonus than the small role and in the replay is higher than the bonus [(replay)>(bonus)> (small role)]. Such reel control with the highest priority for replay is realized by executing pull-in control only for replay when the replay is won in the bonus internal middle game state. Then, by executing this pull-in control and arranging the interval between replay symbols within the pullable range as shown in FIG. 4, the replay winning probability when winning the replay is set to 100%. Yes.

The “winning bonus (out)” in the lottery table 202 inside the bonus corresponds to “out” in the lottery table 201 for general games. However, when the random number value from the main control board random number generation means 10d corresponds to the “winning bonus (out)”, the bonus winning symbol that triggered the bonus internal / internal gaming state is the reels 5a, 5b. , 5c on the reels to be aligned, the bonus is awarded.
The occurrence probability (winning probability) of this “winning bonus (out)” is close to the winning probability of replay, but the winning probability of replay is increased as described above, and the winning probability of replay is also increased. Since it is 100%, the probability (total probability) of winning and winning the “winning bonus (out)” is smaller than the probability (total probability) of winning and winning the replay. In other words, when the bonus internal game state is entered, the rate at which replay is performed increases.
The invention of this application increases the chance of being replayed when the bonus state is achieved in this way, that is, when the bonus is won, and this is used to produce a continuous effect over a plurality of games. About the conclusion part is enjoyed with high probability.

A pedestal portion 31 is formed on the lower side of the portion where the middle board 15 of the swivel type gaming machine 1 is disposed so as to protrude forward, and a checkout button 32 is provided on the left side portion of the pedestal portion 31. A 1 bet button 33 and a MAX bet button 34 are provided.

When the 1-bet button 33 is pressed, the medal 100 from the storage unit 18 is transferred to the insertion unit 21 and inserted. By repeatedly pressing the 1-bet button 33, the number of inputs to the input unit 21 is increased up to "3". When the MAX bet button 34 is pressed, the medals 100 corresponding to the number of required game start medals (1 to 3) are transferred from the storage unit 18 to the insertion unit 21 and inserted.

A game medal slot 35 for inserting a game medal 100 into the machine is provided on the right side of the pedestal 31. A game medal selector 36 is arranged downstream of the game medal slot 35. The game medal selector 36 is provided with first and second medal sensors 37 and 38 along the flow path of the medal 100. The first and second medal sensors 37 and 38 sequentially detect the medal 100 so that the medal 100 can be surely grasped into the game medal slot 35.
When the medal 100 is inserted into the game medal slot 35 and detected by the first and second medal sensors 37 and 38, the medal 100 inserted into the game medal slot 35 is stored in the storage unit 18 with its storage limit ( 50). In this case, when the medal 100 inserted into the game medal slot 35 exceeds the storage limit (50), the surplus medals 100 are paid out from the hopper 40 through the payout slot 41 to the tray 42.

First, second, and third stop buttons 26a and 26b for stopping the rotating first, second, and third reels 5a, 5b, and 5c, respectively, are provided at a substantially central portion below the pedestal 31. , 26c are arranged. Corresponding to the stop buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c, first, second, and third stop button LEDs 43a, 43b, and 43c are provided for displaying whether the operation of each button is enabled or disabled. It has been.
A start lever 25 for starting the rotation of the reels 5a, 5b, and 5c is provided below the 1-bet button 33 (on the left side of the stop buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c). A medal return button 45 for returning the game medal 100 jammed in the game medal selector 36 is provided on the right side of the third stop button 26c.

  A payout port 41 is provided on the lower side on the inner side of the rotating type gaming machine 1, and a receiving tray 42 is disposed in front of the payout port 41. The medal 100 from the hopper 40 of the hopper unit 46 provided inside the housing 2 is provided. Is discharged to the tray 42 through the discharge port 41. Corresponding to the hopper 40, a hopper motor 47 and a payout sensor 48 for detecting the payout medal 100 are provided. A cache BOX 49 for storing the medals 100 overflowing from the hopper 40 is disposed below the hopper 40. The cash box 49 is provided with an overflow sensor 50 that detects a state in which the game medals 100 in the cash box 49 are full.

  As described above, the sub-control board 9 is connected to the main control board CPU10a, and effects such as effects according to the gaming state are controlled. The main control board CPU 10a further includes a reel motor 30 and reels 5a, 5b for operating the reels 5a, 5b, 5c which constitute the reel unit 30 together with the game medal selector 36, the medal blocker 52, the reels 5a, 5b, 5c and the like. , 5c index sensors 53a, 53b, 53c are connected. Further, the first, second, and third stop buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c, the hopper unit 46, and the overflow switch 54 are connected to the main control board CPU10a.

The sub-control board 9 mainly performs control related to game effects. As shown in FIG. 3, the sub control board 9 includes a sub control board CPU 9a, a sub control board ROM 9b, a sub control board RAM 9c, and a sub control board random number generating means.
The sub-control board ROM 9b stores various programs related to game effects, image data, sound data, and the like. Further, the sub control board ROM 9b stores effects including continuous effects (effects that are executed over a plurality of games and reach a complete part) and normal effects (effects that are completed in one game), and further performed by the sub control board CPU 9a. A general game used in a selection lottery to be described later, and effect selection lottery tables 301 and 302 inside the bonus are stored.
The sub control board CPU 9a receives a command input from the main control board 10 when the start lever 25 is pressed (at the time of the white circle “2”) and performs display according to the winning combination. For example, as shown in the left part of FIG. 7, when a bell win is received and a command indicating the bell win is received, a lottery effect for the bell is executed, the bell symbol is selected, and this bell symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal screen. 13 is displayed.

The sub-control board CPU 9a performs the effect process using the effect obtained by the lottery (steps S14 and S16 in FIG. 9) when the continuous effect is not being performed (in the case of NO determination in step S12 in FIG. 9) (step S14 in FIG. 9). S15) If it is during the continuous production (YES in step S12 in FIG. 9), the production process is continued (step S15).
As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the effect selection lottery table includes an effect selection lottery table 301 for a general game used in the general game state, and an effect selection lottery in the bonus inside used for the game state inside the bonus. It consists of a table 302. Furthermore, it is common to provide an effect selection lottery table during bonus games.

The effect selection lottery tables 301 and 302 in the general game and the bonus correspond to the effect (normal effect) of the normal effect, the effect (continuous effect) of the continuous effect, the random value, and the command from the main control board 10a. A normal effect or a continuous effect is selected by lottery using a random number value from the table and the random number generation means and a command from the main control board 10a.
The contents of the effect selection lottery tables 301 and 302 in the general game and bonus are schematically shown in FIGS. The occurrence probability of the normal effect or the continuous effect is shown by the angle occupied by each combination and detachment in the pie chart in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B).
As shown in FIG. 6, the probability of occurrence of a continuous effect is reduced in the general game effect selection lottery table 301, and is increased in the effect selection lottery table 302 inside the bonus. The ratio of producing is increased.
In addition, by reducing the occurrence probability of the continuous production in the general game production selection selection lottery table 301, the significance of the continuous production is increased correspondingly, and when the continuous production is performed, the player's emotions are burned more. I try to raise it.

For example, the continuous production is configured as shown in the right part of FIG. That is, in this continuous production, it is shown that an athletic meet is held in the first game, the second game shows the running situation of the players in the middle part of the competition, and the third game is near the goal in the competition. The competition situation of the player is shown, and in the fourth game, the fact that it was 1st in the competition is displayed together with the fact that the bonus has been determined in the game. This continuous effect includes not only data related to image display but also data that is a source of sound output performed by the speaker 8 corresponding to the image display.
The production contents of the first to fourth games are started upon receiving a command input from the main control board 10 when the start lever 25 is pressed (at the time indicated by a white circle “2”), and all stop buttons are displayed. The process is terminated upon receipt of a command input from the main control board 10 indicating that the buttons 26a, 26b, and 26c have been pressed (time indicated by white circles “5”).

The operation of the above-described spinning cylinder gaming machine 1 will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS.
When the game is started (step S1), the main control board CPU 10a first performs a lottery process (step S2). In the lottery process in step S2, the lottery value is different for each gaming state. During the general game, the general game lottery table 201 of FIG. 5A is used.
When any bonus is won internally during a general game, the gaming state is inside bonus (RT1), and the lottery table 202 in the bonus inside of FIG. 5B is used from the next game.
Following step S2, it is determined whether or not a bonus is won (step S3). If NO is determined in step S3, winning combination information is transmitted to the sub CPU (step S4).
If YES is determined in the step S3, a process for shifting the gaming state to the inside of the bonus is performed (step S5), and the process proceeds to the step S4.

The sub control board CPU 9a receives the winning combination information from the main control board CPU 10a (step S11), and determines whether or not the continuous production is being performed (step S12). If NO is determined in step S12, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is inside the bonus (step S13). If NO is determined in step S13, a lottery process is performed using the general game effect selection lottery table 301 (step S14).
Subsequent to step S14, an effect is performed by the liquid crystal screen 13 and the speaker 8 using the effect selected in step S14 (step S15).
If YES is determined in step S13, a lottery process is performed using the effect selection lottery table 302 inside the bonus (step S16), and the process proceeds to step S15.
If YES is determined in the step S12, the steps S13, S14, and S16 are passed and the process proceeds to the step S15.

As described above, when the bonus is won, the gaming state becomes inside the bonus, and in the next game, the lottery is performed using the lottery table 202 inside the bonus in which the winning probability of replay is set high. It becomes easy to win a replay in the game.
On the other hand, the sub-control board 10 receives the winning combination information input from the main control board 10 (determined as YES in step S13 in FIG. 9), so that the effect selection lottery in the bonus having a large selection ratio of the continuous effects is large. Since the selection lottery is performed using the table 302, the continuous effect is selected with a high probability (step S15 in FIG. 9).
Then, by producing a continuous effect (determined as YES in step S12), the continuous effect is continuously produced over a plurality of games, and the player has a high probability of reaching the complete section for the continuous effect. Can be enjoyed at.

In addition, when a bonus is won, a lottery is performed using the lottery table 202 inside the bonus as described above, but the bonus winning probability is 0% in the lottery table 202 inside the bonus. Can be avoided.
In addition, since the selection lottery is performed using the effect selection lottery table 302 in the bonus inside where the selection ratio of the continuous effect is large within the bonus, there is a high possibility that the continuous effect can be effected with good timing.
