Each time a game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, the bet adding means 162 and the value of the bet counter 160 reach a predetermined value and the value of the credit counter 161 is less than the predetermined value. The number-of-inserts credit adding means 163 for adding 1 to the value of the credit counter 161 and the value obtained by the game on condition that the value of the credit counter 161 is less than a predetermined value. Acquired number credit adding means 164 for adding a value corresponding to the number of game media to the value of the credit counter 161, and a predetermined operation to subtract the predetermined number from the value of the credit counter 161 and the value of the bet counter 160 Subtraction addition means 165 for adding to the credit number, credit number display device 90 for displaying the numerical value, credit number display means 166 for causing the credit number display device 90 to display the numerical value of the credit counter 161, and storing the numerical value The special mode counter 170 for performing the determination, the predetermined condition determining unit 171 for determining whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the predetermined condition determining unit 171 determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied In addition, a special mode starting means 172 for starting a special mode which is a special gaming state, and a predetermined condition determining means 171 that a predetermined condition is satisfied. The initial value setting means 173 for setting a predetermined numerical value as an initial value in the special mode counter 170 and the number of game media used for the game every time the game is performed Each time there is a special mode subtracting means 174 for subtracting the numerical value from the special mode counter 170 and the number of game media acquired by the game, the special mode counter 170 Special mode adding means 175 for adding to a numerical value, a predetermined value or less determining means 176 for determining whether or not the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has become a predetermined value or less, and a numerical value of the special mode counter 170 being predetermined. Special mode end means 177 for ending the special mode when triggered by a determination below the predetermined value by the determination means 176 that the value is less than or equal to the value.

Here, examples of the “gaming machine” include a slot machine 10 that plays a game using medals as a game medium, and a slot machine that plays a game using a ball as a game medium.
Examples of the “game medium” include medals and balls.
The “bet counter 160” is for storing numerical values. The numerical value stored in the bet counter 160 indicates the number of game media bet. That is, that the value of the bet counter 160 is 1 or more means that the game medium is bet. Further, “betting game media” means that the value of the bet counter 160 is 1 or more.

The “credit counter 161” is for storing numerical values. The numerical value stored in the credit counter 161 indicates the number of game media that are credited. That is, the value of the credit counter 161 being 1 or more means that the game medium is being credited. “Credit the game medium” means to set the value of the credit counter 161 to 1 or more.
The “insertion detection sensor 95” is for detecting the inserted game medium. Specifically, the insertion detection sensor 95 is for detecting a game medium received inside the gaming machine without being inserted through the insertion port 85 and returned. That is, the game medium is input from the input port 85 based on detection by the input detection sensor 95.

  In addition, the “insertion number bet adding means 162” sets the value of the bet counter 160 every time one game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, provided that the value of the bet counter 160 is less than a predetermined value. This is for adding 1. For example, the upper limit value of the bet counter 160 is “3”. In this case, when one game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95 when the value of the bet counter 160 is “0”, the insertion number bet adding means 162 sets “1” to the value “0” of the bet counter 160. ”Is added to“ 1 ”. Similarly, when a value of the bet counter 160 is“ 2 ”and one game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, the insertion number bet addition means 162 “1” is added to the value “2” of the counter 160 to obtain “3”. However, when the value of the bet counter 160 is “3”, even if a game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, The adding means 162 does not add “1” to the value of the bet counter 160.

  In addition, the “insertion number credit adding means 163” uses the insertion detection sensor 95 to determine that the game medium is 1 on the condition that the value of the bet counter 160 reaches a predetermined value and the value of the credit counter 161 is less than the predetermined value. This is for adding 1 to the value of the credit counter 161 every time it is detected. For example, the upper limit value of the bet counter 160 is “3”, and the upper limit value of the credit counter 161 is “50”. In this case, when the value of the bet counter 160 is “3” and the value of the credit counter 161 is “0”, if one game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, the insertion number credit addition means “163” is “1” by adding “1” to the value “0” of the credit counter 161. Similarly, the value of the bet counter 160 is “3” and the value of the credit counter 161 is “49”. At this time, when one game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, the insertion number credit adding means 163 adds “1” to the numerical value “49” of the credit counter 161 to obtain “50”. When the value of the bet counter 160 is “3” and the value of the credit counter 161 is “50”, even if a game medium is detected by the insertion detection sensor 95, the inserted number credit adding means 163 is credited. There is no possibility that "1" is added to the value of the counter 161.

  Further, the “acquisition number credit addition means 164” adds a value corresponding to the number of game media acquired by the game to the value of the credit counter 161 on condition that the value of the credit counter 161 is less than a predetermined value. belongs to. For example, the upper limit value of the credit counter 161 is “50”. In this case, when the value of the credit counter 161 is “0”, if 15 game media are acquired by the game, the acquired number credit adding means 164 sets “15” to the value “0” of the credit counter 161. Similarly, when the credit counter 161 is “40” and 10 game media are acquired by the game, the acquired number credit adding means 164 obtains the value of the credit counter 161. “10” is added to “40” to make “50”. However, when the value of the credit counter 161 is “50”, even if the game medium is acquired by the game, the acquired number credit adding means 164 has the credit counter. The number 161 is not added. Also, for example, if the value of the credit counter 161 is “40” and 15 game media are acquired by the game, the acquired number credit adding means 164 sets the value “40” of the credit counter 161 to “10”. Are added to make “50”. In this case, five game media are paid out from the payout opening 86 without being credited.

  The “subtraction addition means 165” is for subtracting a predetermined number from the value of the credit counter 161 and adding it to the value of the bet counter 160 in response to a predetermined operation. The “predetermined operation” refers to an operation of the bet switch 70 for betting a credited game medium. For example, when the single bet switch 71 as the bet switch 70 is operated, the subtraction / addition means 165 subtracts “1” from the value of the credit counter 161 and adds “1” to the value of the bet counter 160. For example, when the maximum bet switch 72 as the bet switch 70 is operated, the subtraction / addition means 165 subtracts “1” from the value of the credit counter 161 and adds “1” to the value of the bet counter 160. Repeat this operation three times. For example, when the max bet switch 72 as the bet switch 70 is operated, the subtraction / addition means 165 subtracts “3” from the value of the credit counter 161 and adds “3” to the value of the bet counter 160. You may do it.

The “credit number display device 90” is for displaying numerical values. The credit number display device 90 can be configured using a display device such as a 7-segment LED, for example. Further, the credit amount display device 90 can be provided, for example, on the front surface of the gaming machine at a position that is easily visible to the player.
The “credit number display means 166” is for displaying the value of the credit counter 161 on the credit number display device 90. For example, assuming that the value of the credit counter 161 is “50”, the credit amount display means 166 displays the value “50” on the credit amount display device 90. Thereby, the player can know the value of the credit counter 161, that is, the number of game media credited.

The “special mode counter 170” is for storing numerical values.
The “predetermined condition determining means 171” is for determining whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. Further, for example, the end of the first bonus game or the second bonus game can be set as a “predetermined condition”. In this case, when the first bonus game ends, the predetermined condition determination unit 171 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Even if the second bonus game ends, the predetermined condition determination unit 171 Although it is determined that the condition is satisfied, even if the third bonus game is ended, the predetermined condition determining unit 171 does not determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied.

The “special mode” refers to a special gaming state.
The “special mode starting means 172” is for starting the special mode when the predetermined condition determining means 171 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, when the first bonus game is ended and the predetermined condition determining unit 171 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the special mode starting unit 172 starts the special mode, and the second bonus game is ended. Even if it is determined by the predetermined condition determining means 171 that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the special mode starting means 172 starts the special mode, but even if the third bonus game ends, the predetermined condition determining means 171 determines the predetermined condition. Since it is not determined that the above condition is satisfied, the special mode starting means 172 does not start the special mode.

Further, the special mode starting means 172 can start the special mode by setting a special mode flag, for example.
The “initial value setting means 173” is used to set a predetermined numerical value as an initial value in the special mode counter 170 when the predetermined condition determination means 171 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied. is there. Further, as the “initial value”, for example, the same numerical value as the upper limit value of the credit counter 161 can be set. For example, when the first bonus game is finished and the predetermined condition determining unit 171 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the initial value setting unit 173 sets the initial value “50” in the special mode counter 170, and Even if the second bonus game is over and the predetermined condition determining unit 171 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the initial value setting unit 173 sets the initial value “50” in the special mode counter 170. Even when the 3 bonus game is over, the predetermined condition determining means 171 does not determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied, so the initial value setting means 173 does not set the initial value “50” in the special mode counter 170. .

  Further, the “special mode subtraction means 174” is for subtracting the value corresponding to the number of game media used in the game from the value of the special mode counter 170 each time a game is played. For example, if a game is performed and one game medium is used in the game, the special mode subtracting means 174 subtracts “1” from the value of the special mode counter 170, and the game is performed. If three game media are used in the game, the special mode subtraction means 174 subtracts “3” from the value of the special mode counter 170. For example, when the gaming machine is the slot machine 10, if three bets as game media are bet and the start switch 50 is operated, three medals are used in one game. At this time, the value of the bet counter 160 is “3” when the start switch 50 is operated, and is cleared to “0” at the end of the game or at the start of the next game. That is, the number of game media used in the game is the same as the value of the bet counter 160 when the start switch 50 is operated.

Further, the “special mode adding means 175” is for adding a value corresponding to the number of game media acquired by a game to the value of the special mode counter 170 every time a game medium is acquired by a game. For example, if a game is performed and 10 game media are acquired in the game, the special mode adding means 175 adds “10” to the value of the special mode counter 170, and the game is performed. Assuming that 15 game media are acquired in the game, the special mode adding means 175 adds “15” to the value of the special mode counter 170.
The “predetermined value or less determining means 176” is used to determine whether or not the value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. For example, the predetermined value is “0”. In this case, if the value of the special mode counter 170 is “5” or “10”, the predetermined value or less determination means 176 does not determine that the value of the special mode counter 170 is less than the predetermined value, but the special mode counter 170 If the numerical value of 170 is “0” or “−1”, the below-predetermined value determination means 176 determines that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has become below the predetermined value.

The “special mode end means 177” is for ending the special mode when the special mode counter 170 determines that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or less than a predetermined value by the below-predetermined value determination means 176. For example, the predetermined value is “0”. In this case, when the value of the special mode counter 170 becomes “0” or “−1” by being subtracted by the special mode subtracting means 174, the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is reduced to a predetermined value or less by the predetermined value or less determining means 176 If it is determined that the special mode has ended, the special mode end means 177 ends the special mode.
Further, the special mode end means 177 can end the special mode by clearing the special mode flag, for example.

  According to the present invention, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the special mode is started at this timing, and an initial value is set in the special mode counter 170. Also, every time a game is played, the number of game media used in the game is subtracted from the value of the special mode counter 170, and every time there is a game media acquisition by the game, it is acquired by the game. A value corresponding to the number of game media is added to the value of the special mode counter 170. Then, when the value of the special mode counter 170 becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the special mode is terminated at this timing. As a result, the number of game media acquired during the special mode is reflected in the number of games until the end of the special mode, thereby enhancing the interest of the player.

(Claim 2)
The invention described in claim 2 is a limited version of the invention described in claim 1, and includes a determination unit 178 for determining whether or not the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The upper limit value setting means 179 for setting the predetermined value as the upper limit value in the special mode counter 170 when the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has reached the predetermined value or more is determined by the determination means 178. And.
Here, the “predetermined value or more determining means 178” is for determining whether or not the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has become a predetermined value or more.

Further, the “upper limit setting means 179” uses the special mode counter 170 as the upper limit value when the special mode counter 170 determines that the numeric value of the special mode counter 170 has reached a predetermined value or more. It is for setting to.
Further, in the present invention, the numerical value displayed on the credit number display device is used as a measure for ending the special mode. For this reason, the “predetermined value” serving as a determination criterion by the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value is set to the upper limit value of the credit counter 161 or a value close thereto. The “upper limit value” set in the special mode counter 170 by the upper limit setting unit 179 is the upper limit value of the credit counter 161.

Hereinafter, a specific example when the upper limit value of the credit counter 161 is “50” will be described.
In this case, the “upper limit value” set in the special mode counter 170 by the upper limit value setting means 179 is “upper limit value of the credit counter 161”, that is, “50”.
Further, the predetermined value that is the determination criterion by the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value can be, for example, “upper limit value of the credit counter 161 + 1”, that is, “51”. In this case, the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value can be configured to determine whether or not “the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 ≧ 51”, for example. Then, if the value of the special mode counter 170 is “30” or “50”, the determination unit 178 greater than or equal to the predetermined value does not determine that the value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded the predetermined value, but the special mode counter 170 When the numerical value becomes “51” or “55”, the determination unit 178 greater than or equal to a predetermined value determines that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded a predetermined value. On the other hand, when the determination unit 178 determines that the value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the upper limit setting unit 179 sets the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170. If it is not determined that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded the predetermined value by the value determination unit 178, the upper limit value setting unit 179 does not set the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170.

Further, since the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is an integer, if the predetermined value that is the determination criterion by the determining means 178 is “51” or more, whether or not “the numerical value of the special mode counter 170> 50” is determined. The determination means 178 having a predetermined value or more may be formed so as to perform the determination. Even if it forms in this way, the same effect as the case where it forms so that it may determine whether "the numerical value of the special mode counter 170>51" is acquired.
Further, the predetermined value that is the determination criterion by the determination means 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value may be, for example, “an upper limit value of the credit counter 161”, that is, “50”. In this case, the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value can be configured to determine whether or not “the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 ≧ 50”, for example. Then, if the value of the special mode counter 170 is “30” or “49”, the determination unit 178 not less than the predetermined value does not determine that the value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded the predetermined value, but the special mode counter 170 When the numerical value of “50” or “55” becomes “50” or “55”, the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to a predetermined value determines that the value of the special mode counter 170 is greater than or equal to the predetermined value. On the other hand, when the determination unit 178 determines that the value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the upper limit setting unit 179 sets the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170. If it is not determined that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded the predetermined value by the value determination unit 178, the upper limit value setting unit 179 does not set the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170.

Further, since the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is an integer, if the predetermined value that is the determination criterion by the determining means 178 is “50”, whether or not “the numerical value of the special mode counter 170> 49” is determined. The determination means 178 having a predetermined value or more may be formed so as to perform the determination. Even if it forms in this way, the same effect as the case where it forms so that it may determine whether "the numerical value of the special mode counter 170>50" is acquired.
According to the present invention, when the value of the special mode counter 170 exceeds a predetermined value, the upper limit value is set in the special mode counter 170 in response to this. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the special mode from continuing excessively, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous. When the upper limit value of the special mode counter 170 is set to the same value as the upper limit value of the credit counter 161, the special mode counter 170 moves closer to the credit counter 161. As a result, the display of the number of credited game media, that is, the numerical value displayed on the credit amount display device 90 is an indication of the end of the special mode.

(First bonus game control means 112)
The first bonus game control means 112 is for controlling the first bonus game as an advantageous game. Further, during the first bonus game, a JAC game that is a game having a predetermined winning combination winning probability higher than that of a general game can be executed a plurality of times.
Hereinafter, the first bonus game will be described.
When the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 is the first bonus winning, the first bonus winning flag is set and the first bonus winning state is set, and the stop control means 140 can win the first bonus winning. Then, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. That is, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the first bonus winning, the stop control means 140 selects the stop table 130 corresponding to the first bonus winning, and based on the stop table 130, the rotation reel 40 Perform stop control. At this time, the winning symbol arrays “7”, “7”, and “7” can be arranged on any valid winning line 300, and the winning symbol arrays other than “7”, “7”, and “7” are arranged. , It will not be aligned on any valid winning line 300. When all three spinning reels 40 stop rotating and the winning symbol arrays “7”, “7”, and “7” are aligned on any valid winning line 300, the first bonus winning is achieved. The first bonus game flag is set and the process proceeds to the first bonus game. That is, the starting condition of the first bonus game is that the winning symbol arrays “7”, “7”, and “7” are arranged on any valid winning line 300. Further, when the first bonus winning is awarded, the first bonus winning flag is cleared, and the first bonus internal winning state ends. On the other hand, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped, if there is no winning symbol array of “7”, “7”, “7” on any valid winning line 300, there is no winning. However, the first bonus winning flag is not cleared and the first bonus internal hit state continues. The first bonus winning flag remains set without being cleared until the first bonus winning is awarded. That is, the first bonus internal winning state continues until the first bonus winning is awarded.

In the first bonus game, “general game during bonus” and “JAC game” are alternately performed.
When shifting to the first bonus game, first, “general game during bonus” is performed.
In addition, in the “general bonus game”, a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing one of a plurality of roles is performed, and any of the three spinning reels 40 stops rotating. It is determined whether or not a winning is made depending on whether or not any winning symbol arrangement is aligned on the valid winning line 300.
In the “general game during bonus”, when the symbol arrangement “R”, “R”, and “R” is aligned on any valid winning line 300, a JACIN win is awarded. Move to “Game”.

In the “JAC game”, as a result of the lottery by the lottery means 120, the probability of winning a predetermined role is higher than in the general game, and the lottery by the role lottery means 120 on any valid winning line 300 When a predetermined symbol arrangement corresponding to the result is prepared, a game that becomes a prize is performed. As a result, during a JAC game, the winning probability of a predetermined combination is higher than during a general game.
In addition, during the “JAC game”, a game can be played up to 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 winnings are possible. That is, the “JAC game” ends when the game is played 12 times or the winning is 8 times during the “JAC game”. In other words, the ending condition for the “JAC game” is that a game has been played 12 times or a prize has been won 8 times during the JAC game.

Further, when the “JAC game” is ended, unless the conditions for ending the “first bonus game” are satisfied, the game shifts to “general game during bonus”. ”.
In other words, when a transition is made from a general game to the first bonus game, first, the first “general game during bonus” is performed. Further, when a JACIN winning is made in the first “general game during bonus”, the game proceeds to the first “JAC game”. When the first “JAC game” is completed, the process proceeds to the second “general game during bonus” unless the condition for ending the “first bonus game” is satisfied. The same applies thereafter. As described above, during the “first bonus game”, the “bonus general game” and the “JAC game” are repeatedly performed unless the end condition of the “first bonus game” is satisfied.

When the number of medals acquired in the “first bonus game” reaches a predetermined number (for example, 465), the first bonus game flag is cleared and the first bonus game ends. That is, the condition for ending the first bonus game is that the number of medals acquired during the first bonus game has reached a predetermined number (for example, 465). Even if one “JAC game” is being executed, if the end condition of the first bonus game is satisfied, the “JAC game” in the middle of the execution is ended, and the first bonus game is also ended. Return to.
(Second bonus game control means 113)
The second bonus game control means 113 is for controlling the second bonus game as an advantageous game. Further, during the second bonus game, as in the first bonus game, a JAC game that is a game in which the winning probability of a predetermined role is higher than that of a general game can be executed a plurality of times. This is different from the first bonus game. That is, the second bonus game has a different end condition from the first bonus game.

Hereinafter, the second bonus game will be described.
When the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 is the second bonus winning, the second bonus winning flag is set and the second bonus internal winning state is set, and the stop control means 140 can win the second bonus prize. Then, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. In other words, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the second bonus winning, the stop control means 140 selects the stop table 130 corresponding to the second bonus winning, and based on the stop table 130, each of the rotary reels 40 is selected. Perform stop control. At this time, the winning symbol arrangement of “frog”, “frog” and “frog” can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and the winning symbol arrangement other than “frog”, “frog” and “frog” , It will not be aligned on any valid winning line 300. When all three reels 40 stop rotating and the winning symbol array of “frog”, “frog” and “frog” is aligned on one of the valid winning lines 300, a second bonus prize is awarded. The second bonus game flag is set, and the process proceeds to the second bonus game. That is, the starting condition for the second bonus game is that the winning symbol arrays “Frog”, “Frog”, and “Frog” are arranged on any valid winning line 300. Further, when the second bonus winning is awarded, the second bonus winning flag is cleared and the second bonus internal winning state ends. On the other hand, if all the three reels 40 are stopped rotating and there is no “frog”, “frog”, or “frog” winning symbol array on any valid winning line 300, there will be no winning. However, the second bonus winning flag is not cleared and the second bonus internal hit state continues. The second bonus winning flag remains set without being cleared until the second bonus winning is awarded. That is, the second bonus internal hit state continues until the second bonus winning is awarded.

In the second bonus game, as in the first bonus game, the “general game during bonus” and the “JAC game” are alternately performed.
The “general bonus game” and the “JAC game” are the same as the first bonus game.
When the number of medals acquired in the “second bonus game” reaches a predetermined number (for example, 350), the second bonus game flag is cleared and the second bonus game ends. That is, the end condition of the second bonus game is that the number of medals acquired during the second bonus game has reached a predetermined number (for example, 350). Even if one “JAC game” is being executed, if the condition for ending the second bonus game is satisfied, the “JAC game” being executed is ended, and the second bonus game is also ended. Return to. Thus, in the present embodiment, the second bonus game is different from the first bonus game in the maximum number of medals.

(Third bonus game control means 114)
The third bonus game control means 114 is for controlling the third bonus game. In addition, during the third bonus game, a challenge time game (CT game) for stopping stop control based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 for all or a part of the plurality of rotating reels 40 can be executed a plurality of times. That is, the CT game is a game in which stop control based on the lottery result of the role lottery means 120 is stopped for all or a part of the plurality of rotating reels 40, and the CT game can be executed a plurality of times during the third bonus game. It is.
Hereinafter, the third bonus game will be described.

  When the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the third bonus winning, the third bonus winning flag is set, and the third bonus internal winning state is set, and the stop control means 140 can win the third bonus winning. Then, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. In other words, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the third bonus winning, the stop control means 140 selects the stop table 130 corresponding to the third bonus winning, and based on the stop table 130, each of the rotary reels 40 is selected. Perform stop control. At this time, the winning symbol arrays “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” can be arranged on any valid winning line 300, and the winning symbol arrays other than “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” are arranged. , It will not be aligned on any valid winning line 300. When all three spinning reels 40 stop rotating, if the winning symbol arrays “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” are arranged on any valid winning line 300, the third bonus winning is achieved. The third bonus game flag is set, and the process proceeds to the third bonus game. That is, the starting condition of the third bonus game is that the winning symbol arrays “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” are arranged on any valid winning line 300. Further, when the third bonus winning is awarded, the third bonus winning flag is cleared, and the third bonus internal winning state ends. On the other hand, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped, if there is no winning symbol array of “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” on any valid winning line 300, there is no winning. However, the third bonus winning flag is not cleared, and the internal state of the third bonus continues. The third bonus winning flag remains set without being cleared until the third bonus winning is awarded. That is, the third bonus internal winning state continues until the third bonus winning is awarded.

In the third bonus game, the CT game can be executed a plurality of times.
Further, as a result of the CT game, when any winning symbol array is aligned on any valid winning line 300 and a winning combination corresponding to the winning winning symbol array is won, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the winning combination can be obtained. .
When the number of medals acquired in the “third bonus game” reaches a predetermined number (for example, 250), the third bonus game flag is cleared and the third bonus game ends. That is, the end condition of the third bonus game is that the number of medals acquired in the third bonus game has reached a predetermined number (for example, 250).

In addition, as long as the number of medals acquired during the third bonus game does not reach a predetermined number (for example, 250), the third bonus game continues and the CT game can be executed any number of times. That is, there is no limit to the number of times the CT game can be executed during the third bonus game. Although the number of medals acquired during the third bonus game is a condition for ending the third bonus game, the number of executions of the CT game during the third bonus game is not a condition for ending the third bonus game. .
(Role lottery means 120)
The role lottery means 120 is for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing one of a plurality of roles.

The role lottery means 120 also performs a role lottery while the first bonus winning flag, the second bonus winning flag, and the third bonus winning flag are carried over.
The role lottery means 120 includes a role lottery random number generation means, a role lottery random number extraction means, a role lottery table, a table selection means, and a role lottery determination means.
The lottery random number generating means is for generating a random number for the role lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal number).
In addition, the role lottery random number generating means can be constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts a clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number).

Further, the random number generating means for winning lottery can be constituted by, for example, means for generating a random number by the average sampling method, or means for generating a random number by adding prime numbers. Also, these means can be configured by causing a CPU to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random number), for example.
The lottery random number extracting means is for extracting the random number generated by the role lottery random number generating means at a predetermined opportunity (for example, operation of the start switch 50).
The role lottery random number generating means is composed of a counter circuit or the like, and the numerical value generated by the role lottery random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 50 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extracting means for winning lottery can be handled substantially as a random number.

In addition, the combination lottery table is predetermined for each random number within the range generated by the combination lottery random number generating means, which of a plurality of combinations is won or lost.
Further, in the present embodiment, as the combination lottery table, the first general combination lottery table used when the game is in a general game and not in the internal hit state, and used in the general game and in an internal hit state. There are provided a second general combination lottery table, a bonus medium combination lottery table used during a bonus medium game, and a JAC medium combination lottery table used during a JAC game.
In addition, the first general combination lottery table determines whether the first bonus winning, the second bonus winning, the third bonus winning is performed for each random number within the range generated by the combination random number generating means, Whether to win the first small role, win the second small role, win the third small role, win the Replay, or lose is predetermined.

Further, the second general role lottery table determines whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the random number generator for role lottery is selected as the first small role winning, the second small role winning, or the third small role winning. It is determined in advance whether to play, to win the replay, or to lose.
Further, the bonus medium-use role lottery table defines the JACIN winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, and the lose at predetermined ratios as the lottery results. .
Further, the JAC mid-use winning lottery table defines the JAC winning and the loss at predetermined ratios as the lottery results.

The table selection means is for selecting one combination lottery table from a plurality of combination lottery tables. The table selection means selects the first general combination lottery table when in the general game and not in the internal hit state, and selects the second general combination lottery table in the general game and in the internal hit state. Further, during the bonus general game, the bonus medium use lottery table is selected, and during the JAC game, the JAC medium use lottery table is selected.
In addition, the lottery determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit for the role lottery with the role lottery table selected by the table selection unit, and determines whether one of the plurality of combinations is won or lost. Is to do.

  In the present embodiment, the combination lottery determination unit compares the random number extracted by the combination lottery random number extraction unit with the combination lottery table selected by the table selection unit, and determines whether the first bonus is won or the second bonus is won. , Whether it is the third bonus winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, the replay winning, or the loss (if the internal hit state, the first small It is determined whether it is a winning role, second small role winning, third small role winning, replay winning, or loss, and if it is during bonus general game, JACIN winning or first small role winning Or whether it is a second small role winning, a third small role winning, or a loss, and if it is a JAC game, it is determined whether it is a JAC winning or a loss).

Note that “JACIN winning” means winning related to the transition to the JAC game. If the result of the winning lottery during the bonus general game is JACIN winning, and if there is a symbol arrangement of “R” “R” “R” on any of the valid winning lines 300, the transition to the JAC game will occur. Such a winning is “JACIN winning”, and a transition is made from a general game during bonus to a JAC game.
The “JAC winning” is one of the lottery results in the JAC game and refers to winning related to paying out a predetermined number of medals. The result of the winning lottery in the JAC game is JAC winning. At this time, if the symbol arrangement of “R”, “R”, and “R” is arranged on any valid winning line 300, the predetermined number of medals will be paid out. A “JAC prize” is obtained, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

(Stop table 130)
The stop table 130 is for determining the stop position of each rotary reel 40, and the slide of each rotary reel 40 according to the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. The number of frames is predetermined.
Further, the “number of sliding frames” refers to the number of proper stop positions that pass from the operation of the stop switch 60 until the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 stops at any appropriate stop position.
For example, when the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60, the appropriate pass that has passed between the operation of the stop switch 60 and the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped. Since the number of stop positions is “0”, the number of sliding frames is “0”.

In addition, when the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped at the next appropriate stop position after passing the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60, the rotation of the corresponding rotation reel 40 is started from the operation of the stop switch 60. Since the number of appropriate stop positions that have passed before the stop is “1”, the number of sliding symbols is “1”.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of stop tables 130 are provided corresponding to the lottery results of the combination lottery means 120 and the like.
Further, in the present embodiment, each stop table 130 determines the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 within a range of 0 or more and 4 or less.

In addition, the stop table 130 corresponding to any of the winning combinations is such that the winning symbol arrangement corresponding to the winning combination can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and for any winning symbol arrangement other than that winning combination. The number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that it is not aligned on the effective winning line 300.
Specifically, for example, in the stop table 130 corresponding to “first bonus winning”, the winning symbol arrays “7”, “7”, and “7” may be aligned on any valid winning line 300. In addition, the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that winning symbol arrays other than “7”, “7”, and “7” do not align on any valid winning line 300. As a result, the stop table 130 corresponding to the “first bonus award” can receive the first bonus award and cannot receive a prize other than the first bonus award. The same applies to each stop table 130 corresponding to “second bonus prize”, “third bonus prize”, “first small role prize”, “second small role prize”, “third small role prize”, and “Replay prize”. .

In addition, the stop table 130 corresponding to “no winning” determines the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 so that no winning symbol arrangement is arranged on any valid winning line 300.
(Stop control means 140)
The stop control means 140 is for performing stop control of each rotary reel 40.
Further, the stop control means 140 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated.

Further, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed as follows.
First, one stop table 130 is selected from the plurality of stop tables 130 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 and the like.
Specifically, for example, when the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 is “first small combination winning”, the stop table 130 corresponding to “first small combination winning” is selected.
Next, the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 is determined from the selected one stop table 130 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated.

Here, when the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “0”, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated appears to move to the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 with little movement after the operation of the stop switch 60.
When the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “1”, the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 is passed, and the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the next proper stop position. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated moves so as to slide one frame in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It seems to stop in the middle of window 26.

If the number of sliding frames is determined to be “2”, it passes through the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next appropriate stop position, and corresponds at the third appropriate stop position. The rotation of the rotary reel 40 stops. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated moves so as to slide two frames in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It appears to stop at the bottom of window 26.
Also, as described above, in the present embodiment, the role lottery means 120 performs the lottery while the first bonus winning flag, the second bonus winning flag, and the third bonus winning flag are carried over. . For example, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is, for example, the first small winning combination while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 causes any valid winning line. Stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed so that either the first bonus winning symbol arrangement or the first small role winning symbol arrangement can be aligned on 300. That is, the stop control means 140 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 so that either the first bonus winning or the first small winning combination can be won. More specifically, the stop control means 140 selects either the stop table 130 corresponding to the first bonus winning or the stop table 130 corresponding to the first small winning combination, and then selects one of the selected ones. Based on one stop table 130 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated, the number of sliding symbols of each rotating reel 40 is determined, and the number of sliding symbols determined is determined to rotate. Then, the rotation of each rotary reel 40 is stopped.

In addition, for selection of which winning symbol arrangement can be aligned (which winning winning can be assigned, more specifically, which stop table 130 is used), the present embodiment Then, the stop control means 140 selects the winning one according to the operation timing of the stop switch 60 operated first.
In other words, when stopping the rotation of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 60 that is operated first, it is included in a pattern that can be drawn on any valid winning line 300 within the range of the number of sliding frames of 4 frames. If there is a symbol “7” corresponding to the first bonus winning, the stop table 130 corresponding to the first bonus winning is selected so that the first bonus winning symbol arrangement can be aligned, while the first bonus is awarded. If there is no symbol “7” corresponding to the winning, the stop table 130 corresponding to the first small winning combination is selected so that the first small winning combination can be aligned. While the first bonus winning flag, the second bonus winning flag, or the third bonus winning flag is carried over, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the first small winning combination, the second small winning combination, or the third small winning combination. The same applies to the case where a role is won.

Also, for example, if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is a winning for Replay while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 is related to the operation timing of the stop switch 60 operated first. Instead, replay is prioritized and stop control of each rotating reel 40 is performed so that only the replay winning symbol arrangement can be arranged.
In other words, if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 becomes a Replay winning while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 60 operated first, The stop table 130 corresponding to the Replay winning is always selected, and then, the stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed based on the stop table 130 corresponding to the Replay winning so that the Replay winning can be assigned. The same applies to the case where the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 becomes a Replay winning while the second bonus winning flag or the third bonus winning flag is carried over.

Also, for example, if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is lost while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 is placed on any valid winning line 300 on the first bonus line 300. Stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed so that the winning symbol arrangement can be aligned. That is, the stop control means 140 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 so that the first bonus winning can be won. The same applies to the case where the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is lost while the second bonus winning flag or the third bonus winning flag is carried over.
Note that the stop control of the rotary reel 40 as described above is a control using the stop table 130, and is therefore called “table control” or the like.

At this time, the value of the bet counter 160 is “3” when the start switch 50 is operated, and is cleared to “0” at the end of the game or at the start of the next game. That is, the number of medals used in the game is the same as the value of the bet counter 160 when the start switch 50 is operated.

(Special mode addition means 175)
The special mode adding means 175 is for adding a value corresponding to the number of medals acquired by the game to a value of the special mode counter 170 every time a medal is acquired by the game. For example, if a game is performed and 10 medals are obtained in the game, the special mode adding means 175 adds “10” to the value of the special mode counter 170, and the game is performed. If 15 medals are acquired, the special mode adding means 175 adds “15” to the value of the special mode counter 170.
(Determining means 176 below predetermined value)
The predetermined value or less determination means 176 is for determining whether or not the value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or less than a predetermined value (“0” in the present embodiment). For example, if the value of the special mode counter 170 is “5” or “10”, the predetermined value or less determination means 176 does not determine that the value of the special mode counter 170 is less than the predetermined value, but the special mode counter 170 If the numerical value of “0” or “−1” is “0” or “−1”, the below-predetermined value determination means 176 determines that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is below the predetermined value.

(Special mode exit means 177)
The special mode ending unit 177 ends the special mode when the value of the special mode counter 170 is determined to be equal to or less than a predetermined value (“0” in the present embodiment) by the determination unit 176 below the predetermined value. Is for. For example, when the value of the special mode counter 170 becomes “0” or “−1” by being subtracted by the special mode subtracting means 174, the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is reduced to a predetermined value or less by the predetermined value or less determining means 176. It is determined that the special mode is ended, and the special mode end means 177 ends the special mode.
In the present embodiment, the special mode ending unit 177 ends the special mode by clearing the special mode flag.

(Determination means 178 above a predetermined value)
Predetermined value or more determining means 178 is for determining whether or not the value of the special mode counter 170 has reached or exceeded a predetermined value (“51” in the present embodiment). For example, if the value of the special mode counter 170 is “30” or “50”, the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value does not determine that the value of the special mode counter 170 is greater than or equal to the predetermined value. When the numerical value becomes “51” or “55”, the determination unit 178 greater than or equal to a predetermined value determines that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded a predetermined value.
(Upper limit setting means 179)
The upper limit value setting means 179 is triggered by the determination that the value of the special mode counter 170 is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (“51” in the present embodiment) by the determination means 178 greater than or equal to the predetermined value. In the embodiment, “50”) is set to the special mode counter 170 as an upper limit value. For example, when the value of the special mode counter 170 is “51” or “55” and the determination unit 178 determines that the value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the upper limit value setting unit 179 The upper limit value “50” is set in the special mode counter 170. If the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is “30” or “50”, the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is set to a predetermined value by the determination unit 178 greater than or equal to the predetermined value. Since it is not determined that the upper limit has been reached, the upper limit value setting unit 179 does not set the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170.

(Specific winning allocation determination means 180)
In the special mode, the specific winning assignment determining means 180 is assigned a specific winning (in the present embodiment, “first bonus winning” or “second bonus winning”) every time a lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 120. This is to determine whether or not it has been made.
For example, when the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 becomes the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning during the special mode, the specific winning allocation determining means 180 determines that the specific winning is allocated, Even if the lottery result of the role lottery means 120 becomes the third bonus winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, the replay winning, etc., the specific winning allocation determination means 180 It is not determined that the winning was awarded.

In the present embodiment, the specific winning allocation determining means 180 includes a specific winning recognition means 181 for recognizing the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning as a specific winning. As a result, the specific winning assignment determining means 180 can recognize that the specific winning is won when the lottery result of the combination lottering means 120 is the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning.
(Specific winning allocation flag setting means 182)
The specific winning allocation flag setting means 182 is triggered by the determination that the specific winning allocation determining means 180 determines that a specific winning (in this embodiment, “first bonus winning” or “second bonus winning”) has been allocated. This is for setting a specific winning allocation flag.

For example, if the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 becomes the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning during the special mode, and the specific winning allocation determining means 180 determines that the specific winning is allocated, the specific winning allocation flag The setting means 182 sets a specific winning allocation flag. During the special mode, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is determined as the third bonus winning, the first small winning combination, the second small winning combination, the third small winning combination, Even if it is a Replay winning, the specific winning allocation determining means 180 does not determine that the specific winning is allocated, so the specific winning allocation flag setting means 182 does not set the specific winning allocation flag.

In step 412, the initial value setting means 173 sets an initial value “50” in the special mode counter 170 and the special mode start means 172 sets a special mode flag. Thereby, the special mode is started. Then, the process proceeds to Step 200.
In step 500, the sub control device 102 clears the special mode counter 170 and clears the special mode flag. Thereby, when it is in the special mode, the special mode ends. Then, the process proceeds to step 501.
In step 501, the third bonus bonus production data is selected by the presentation data selection means 192, and the presentation execution means 193 performs the third bonus bonus presentation data based on the third bonus bonus presentation data selected by the presentation data selection means 192. Production during bonus is executed. Then, the process proceeds to Step 502.

In step 502, the sub-control device 102 determines whether or not a third bonus end signal has been received, that is, whether or not the third bonus game has ended. If it is determined that the third bonus end signal has been received, that is, if it is determined that the third bonus game has ended, the routine proceeds to step 503. On the other hand, if it is determined that the third bonus end signal has not been received, that is, if it is determined that the third bonus game has not ended, the process returns to step 501.
In step 503, the third bonus end effect data is selected by the effect data selection means 192, and the effect execution means 193 performs the third bonus end effect data based on the third bonus end effect data selected by the effect data selection means 192. Bonus end effect is executed. Then, the process proceeds to Step 200.

Next, the lottery signal reception process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step 600, the specific winning allocation determination means 180 determines whether or not the special mode flag is set, that is, whether or not the special mode is in effect. If it is determined that the special mode flag is set, that is, if it is determined that the special mode is in progress, the process proceeds to step 601. On the other hand, if it is determined that the special mode flag is not set, that is, if it is determined that the special mode is not in effect, the lottery signal reception process ends.

In step 601, the specific winning allocation determination means 180 determines whether the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning has been allocated based on the lottery result signal. Here, if it is determined that the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning is assigned, the process proceeds to step 602. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning is not assigned, that is, the result of the role drawing is the third bonus winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning. When it is determined that the player has won the replay or lost, the lottery signal reception process ends.
In step 602, the special mode counter 170 is cleared by the sub-control device 102. Then, the process proceeds to step 603.

In step 603, the special mode flag is cleared by the sub-control device 102. As a result, the special mode ends. Then, the process proceeds to Step 604.
In step 604, a specific winning allocation flag is set by the specific winning allocation flag setting means 182. Then, the lottery signal reception process ends.
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first bonus game or the second bonus game is finished, the special mode is started at this time, and the initial value “50” is set in the special mode counter 170. The Each time a game is played, the number of medals used in the game is subtracted from the value of the special mode counter 170, and every time a medal is acquired by the game, the number of medals acquired by the game The number of sheets is added to the value of the special mode counter 170. Then, when the value of the special mode counter 170 becomes “0” or less, the special mode is terminated in response to this. Thereby, the number of medals acquired during the special mode is reflected in the number of games until the end of the special mode, so that the player's interest is enhanced.

In the present embodiment, when the value of the special mode counter 170 becomes “51” or more, the upper limit value “50” is set in the special mode counter 170 as a trigger. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the special mode from continuing excessively, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous.
In the present embodiment, the upper limit value of the special mode counter 170 is set to “50”, which is the same as the upper limit value of the credit counter 161. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the first bonus game or the second bonus game is finished, the special mode is started at this time, and the initial value “50” is set in the special mode counter 170. However, at the end of the first bonus game or the second bonus game, the value of the credit counter 161 is expected to be the upper limit value “50”. For this reason, the special mode counter 170 moves close to the credit counter 161. Thus, the display of the number of medals that have been credited, that is, the numerical value displayed on the credit number display device 90 is an indication of the end of the special mode.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning is assigned during the special mode, it is recognized that the specific winning is assigned, and the specific winning assigning flag is set and the first bonus game or the second bonus winning is set. The aspect of the effect during the 2 bonus game is different from the normal time. For this reason, a player's interest can be heightened.
In the present embodiment, the predetermined value that is the determination criterion by the determination means 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value is set to “upper limit value of the credit counter 161 + 1”, that is, “51”, and “value of the special mode counter 170 ≧ 51”. The determination means 178 is formed so as to determine whether or not it is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. However, since the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is an integer, it is determined whether or not “the numerical value of the special mode counter 170> 50”. In addition, a determination means 178 greater than or equal to a predetermined value may be formed. Even if it forms in this way, the same effect as the case where it forms so that it may determine whether "the numerical value of the special mode counter 170>51" is acquired.

  In addition, a predetermined value that is a determination criterion by the determination unit 178 that is greater than or equal to a predetermined value may be “an upper limit value of the credit counter 161”, that is, “50”. In this case, the determination means 178 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value can be configured to determine whether or not “the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 ≧ 50”, for example. Then, if the value of the special mode counter 170 is “30” or “49”, the determination unit 178 not less than the predetermined value does not determine that the value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded the predetermined value, but the special mode counter 170 When the numerical value of “50” or “55” becomes “50” or “55”, the determination unit 178 greater than or equal to a predetermined value determines that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has exceeded a predetermined value. Then, when it is determined by the determination unit 178 that the value exceeds the predetermined value that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the upper limit value setting unit 179 sets the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170. If it is not determined that the numerical value of the special mode counter 170 has become equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the upper limit value setting unit 179 does not set the upper limit value “50” in the special mode counter 170. Thus, since the special mode counter 170 is set to “50” when the value of the special mode counter 170 is “50” or more, the special mode counter 170 is set when the value of the special mode counter 170 is “51” or more. When “50” is set to 170, and when the value of the special mode counter 170 is “50”, the same effect is obtained as when nothing is performed.

Further, when the predetermined value which is the determination criterion by the determination unit 178 of “predetermined value or more” is “50”, the determination unit of “predetermined value or more is determined so as to determine whether or not“ the numerical value of the special mode counter 170> 49 ”. 178 may be formed. Even if it forms in this way, the same effect as the case where it forms so that it may determine whether "the numerical value of the special mode counter 170>50" is acquired.
In the present embodiment, when the single bet switch 71 as the bet switch 70 is operated, the subtraction / addition means 165 subtracts “1” from the value of the credit counter 161 and triggers the bet counter 160. When a maximum bet switch 72 as the bet switch 70 is operated, “1” is subtracted from the value of the credit counter 161 and the value of the bet counter 160 is added. The operation of adding “1” to “3” is repeated three times. For example, in the case of using a ball as a game medium in a slot machine for playing a game, when the bet switch 70 is operated, The subtraction addition means 165 is formed so that “15” is subtracted from the value of the credit counter 161 and “1” is added to the value of the bet counter 160. can do.

It was made to become.

In addition, the slot machine 10 according to the second embodiment includes the “specific prize allocation determination unit 185”, the “specific prize recognition unit 186”, the “specific prize allocation flag setting unit 187”, and the “specific prize allocation flag corresponding effect data selection instruction” The points other than “means 195” are the same as in the first embodiment.
(Specific prize allocation determination means 185)
The specific winning allocation determination means 185 allocates a specific winning (in the present embodiment, “first bonus winning” or “second bonus winning”) every time the determination is made by the winning determination means 150 during the special mode. This is to determine whether or not it has been made.

For example, when the determination result of the winning determination means 150 is the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning during the special mode, the specific winning allocation determining means 185 determines that the specific winning is allocated, but during the special mode, Even if the determination result of the winning determination means 150 is the third bonus winning, the first small prize winning, the second small winning prize, the third small winning prize, the Replay winning, or the like, the specific winning allocation determining means 185 It is not determined that a prize has been awarded.
In the present embodiment, the specific winning allocation determination unit 185 includes a specific winning recognition unit 186 for recognizing the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning as a specific winning. Thereby, the specific winning allocation determination unit 185 can recognize that the specific winning is allocated when the determination result of the winning determination unit 150 is the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning.

(Specific winnings allocation flag setting means 187)
The specific winning allocation flag setting unit 187 is triggered by the determination that the specific winning allocation determining unit 185 determines that a specific winning (in this embodiment, “first bonus winning” or “second bonus winning”) has been allocated. This is for setting a specific winning allocation flag.
For example, when the determination result of the winning determination means 150 is the first bonus winning or the second bonus winning in the special mode and the specific winning allocation determining means 185 determines that the specific winning is allocated, the specific winning allocation flag The setting means 187 sets a specific winning allocation flag. During the special mode, the determination result of the winning determination means 150 is that the third bonus winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, Even if it becomes a Replay winning or the like, the specific winning allocation determination unit 185 does not determine that a specific winning is allocated, so the specific winning allocation flag setting unit 187 does not set the specific winning allocation flag.

(Specific prize winning flag corresponding effect data selection instruction means 195)
The specific winning assignment flag corresponding effect data selection instructing means 195 is for causing the effect data selecting means 192 to select different effect data depending on whether or not the specific winning allocation flag is set.
In the present embodiment, the specific winning allocation flag-corresponding effect data selection instruction means 195 is set with a specific winning allocation flag when selecting the effect data used during the first bonus game or the second bonus game. The effect data selecting means 192 selects effect data that differs depending on when it is not.

For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the first bonus prize or the second bonus prize is awarded during the special mode, it is recognized that a specific prize has been awarded, and the specific prize allocation flag is set, and the first bonus game or The aspect of the effect during the second bonus game is different from the normal time. For this reason, a player's interest can be heightened.
