First, as shown in FIG. 12, it progresses to step S100 and the process (refer FIGS. 13-14) regarding the 2nd variable prize-winning apparatus 50 shown in FIGS. 1-2 is performed.
The process is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
After the process, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S100 to the next step S101, where it is determined whether or not the third game is being played.

The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if it is not in the third game, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S101 to the next step S102, and a demonstration is displayed on the count display means 32 shown in FIGS.
The demo means a display different from, for example, a count display mode described later.

The display is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
After the display, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S102 to the next step S103, and processing related to the first variable winning device 40 shown in FIGS. 1-2 is performed (see FIG. 15).
The process is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
After the process, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S103 to the next step S104 to perform various processes.

The various processes include, for example, a payout process for winning a prize and, although not shown, drive control of an effect device.
Note that the various processes are not limited to the processes exemplified above.
The process is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
After the processing, as shown in FIG. 12, the process returns from step S104 to S100 described above.

On the other hand, if it is determined in the previous step S101 that the third game is being played, the process proceeds to the next step S110 as shown in FIG. 12, and the second variable winning device is displayed on the count display means 32 shown in FIGS. Displays a count value of 50.
The count value indicates the number of winnings to the second variable winning device 50 counted by the winning ball counting means 141 shown in FIG. 1 during the third game, and displays, for example, a three-digit number “016” or the like. .

The display is not limited to three digits.
Further, the display value may be the count value itself, or a subtracted value obtained by subtracting the count value from the total winning number (for example, 160) defined in the third game end condition may be displayed.
The display is performed by the third game control means 140 of the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
After the display, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S110 to the next step S111 to perform a third game end confirmation process (see FIG. 19).

The process is performed by the third game control means 140 of the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
After the processing, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S111 to step S103 described above.
(Flowchart in FIG. 13)
A flowchart of processing by the second variable winning device 50 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

First, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S100 (see FIG. 12) to the next step S200, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operating port 70 shown in FIG.
The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
Specifically, the game control means 100 monitors the detection signal of the normal symbol operating port detection means 71 shown in FIG.

As a result of the determination, if the normal symbol operating port 70 is won, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S200 to the next step S201, and the normal symbol lottery random number is acquired.
The random number acquisition is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
As the normal symbol lottery random number, for example, a total of 10 numbers from “0” to “9” are used.

On the other hand, if there is no winning in the normal symbol operating port 70 in the previous step S200, the process proceeds to the next step S210 as shown in FIG.
That is, the process proceeds to step S101 described above in the flowchart shown in FIG.
On the other hand, after the random number is acquired in the previous step S201, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to the next step S202, where it is determined whether or not the game state is the second or third gaming state.

The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if the game is not in the second or third game, that is, in the case of the normal game or the first game, the process proceeds from step S202 to the next step S203 as shown in FIG. Set.
The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.

The normal state means a normal game and a first game.
The fluctuation time during the normal state means the fluctuation time of the normal symbol of the normal symbol display device 48 shown in FIGS. 1-2, and is set to “30 seconds”, for example.
After the setting, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S203 to the next step S204, and the probability winning value in the normal state is set.

The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
The probability winning value in the normal state is a random value that is won in the normal game and the first game, and for example, two numbers “3” and “7” are set.
As a result, since there are ten normal symbol lottery random numbers, the probability is 1/5.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202 that the game state is the second or third game state, the process proceeds to the next step S220 as shown in FIG.

The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
The special state means the second and third games.
The fluctuation time during the special state means the fluctuation time of the normal symbol of the normal symbol display device 48 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is set to “5 seconds”, for example.
A comparison between the special state variation time and the normal state variation time in step S203 described above is shown in Table 1 below.

After the setting, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S220 to the next step S221 to set the probability winning value during the special state.
The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
The special state probability winning value is a random value that is won in a normal game, and for example, five numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” are set.

As a result, since there are 10 normal symbol random numbers, the probability is ½.
The special state probability winning value is compared with the normal state probability winning value in step S204 described above, as shown in Table 2 below.

On the other hand, after the previous step S204 or step S221 is set, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to the next step S205 to determine whether or not a lottery is won.
The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
Specifically, in the case of the normal game and the first game, the random number acquired in the previous step S201 is compared with the normal state probability winning value set in the previous step S204.

For example, if the acquired random number is other than the two numbers “3” and “7”, the number is lost.
On the other hand, if the acquired random number matches one of the two numbers “3” and “7”, it is a win.
In the case of the first and second games, the random number acquired in the previous step S201 is compared with the special state probability winning value set in the previous step S221.

For example, if the acquired random number is other than the five numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, it is out of place.
On the other hand, if the acquired random number matches one of the five numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, it is a win.
As a result of the determination, if the lottery is out, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S205 to the next step S206, and the out symbol is set.

The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG. As the off symbol, for example, a one-digit number “H” symbol is set.
On the other hand, when the lottery is won in the previous step S205, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to the next step S230, and the winning symbol is set.
The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.

As the winning symbol, for example, a one-digit number “7” symbol is set.
The number of digits is not limited to one digit, and may be a plurality of digits.
On the other hand, after the previous step S206 or step S230 is set, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to the next step S207, where it is determined whether or not the variation time has elapsed.
The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.

In the case of the normal game and the first game, the fluctuation time is the normal time fluctuation time set in the previous step S203, for example, “30 seconds”.
In the case of the second and third games, the variation time is the variation time during the special state set in the previous step S220, for example, “5 seconds”.
As a result of the determination, if the fluctuation time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S207 to the next step S208, and the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped.

The change stop is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
Specifically, as the off symbol set in the previous step S206, for example, the single symbol “H” symbol is stopped by the normal symbol display device 48 shown in FIGS.
Further, as the winning symbol set in the previous step S230, for example, the symbol “7” of a single digit number is stopped by the normal symbol display device 48 shown in FIGS.

On the other hand, if the variation time has not elapsed in the previous step S207, step S207 is repeated until the variation time elapses as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, after the fluctuation stop of the previous step S208, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to the next step S209 to determine whether or not it is a winning symbol.
The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.

Specifically, for example, when the symbol “7” of a single digit is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 48 shown in FIGS.
On the other hand, for example, when a symbol other than the single-digit number “7” is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 48 shown in FIGS.
As a result of the determination, if it is out of the way, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to the next step S210, and the process ends.

That is, the process proceeds to step S101 described above in the flowchart shown in FIG.
On the other hand, in the case of winning, the process proceeds to step S300 shown in FIG.
(Flowchart in FIG. 14)
First, as shown in FIG. 14, it is determined in step S300 whether or not it is a third game.
The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.

As a result of the determination, if the game is not the third game, that is, the normal game or the first / second game, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S300 to the next step S301, and the normal release time is set.
The set is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
The normal opening time means the opening time of the left and right blades 51 of the second variable winning device 50, and is set to, for example, “0.5 seconds”.

After the setting, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S301 to the next step S302, where the second variable winning device 50 is opened.
The opening is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
Specifically, the game control means 100 drives the driving device 52 to open the left and right blades 51 into a V shape as shown in FIGS.

After the opening, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S302 to the next step S303, where it is determined whether or not the opening time has ended.
The determination is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if the opening time has ended, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S303 to the next step S304, and the second variable prize-winning device 50 is closed.

The closing is performed by the game control means 100 shown in FIG.
Specifically, the game control means 100 stops the driving of the driving device 52 and closes the left and right blades 51 in parallel as shown in FIGS.
After the closing, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S304 to the next step S305, and the process ends.
