The first derivation control may be selected unless there are special circumstances such as the occurrence of both the special prize and the awarded prize at the stage of derivation or the occurrence of an unacceptable prize. Preferably, it is possible to derive a display result in accordance with the determination result of the prior determination means.

In addition, the situation in which it is determined in the means 1 and 3 that the predetermining means allows the occurrence of both the special prize and the awarded prize is, for example, that the predetermining means is the same game, In the case where the determination that the occurrence of the special prize is allowed and the determination that the occurrence of the prize-winning is allowed can be performed simultaneously, the special prize is determined in the same game by the pre-determining means. When the decision to allow the occurrence of the occurrence and the decision to allow the occurrence of the awarded prize is made at the same time, it is determined that the occurrence of the special prize is allowed by the pre-determining means, And a carry-over means for carrying over the decision to the next game if an allowed special prize cannot be generated, and the pre-decision means carries over the decision to allow the occurrence of a special prize. In state In the determination of whether or not to allow the generation of the winning prize, in the state where the decision to allow the generation of the special prize is carried over by the carryover means, This is the case, for example, when the decision to allow the occurrence is made.

It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, it is determined for each game whether or not the data indicating the allowable level that determines the rate at which the winning is allowed is appropriate, and if it is determined that the data indicating the allowable level is not appropriate. Game progress is disabled. That is, if the data indicating the allowable level is not appropriate data indicating the allowable level that can be selected by the allowable level selection means, the data indicating the allowable level may be illegally rewritten. Is disabled. The state where the progress of the game is disabled is canceled by newly selecting and setting an allowable stage (setting value) based on the operation of the setting operation means. For this reason, in order to resume the game when there is a possibility that the data indicating the allowable level has been illegally rewritten, the operation of changing the allowable level is more time-consuming than the reset operation for canceling the normal error. Since it is necessary, such fraud can be effectively prevented.
Also, if there is a possibility that the data indicating the allowable stage has been illegally rewritten, the allowable stage selected and set based on the operation of the setting operation means, not the allowable stage automatically set by the slot machine Since the game is played based on (generally, the operation of the setting operation means is operated by an employee of the game shop, which is an allowable stage selected by the game shop side), the game is fair. be able to.
Note that the permissible stage data determination means is configured to store the data at least once at any timing of one game (for example, at the start or end of the game, or at the time of execution of a process that is always executed for each game). What is necessary is just to determine whether or not the data indicating the allowable level stored in the storage means is appropriate data indicating the allowable level that can be selected by the allowable level selecting means.
Further, the permissible stage data determination means determines whether or not the data indicating the permissible stage stored in the data storage means for each game is appropriate data indicating the permissible stage that can be selected by the permissible stage selection means. Although the determination is made, the data is stored when the permissible stage data determination means does not execute every game but a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, every predetermined number of games, a game excluding a special game state advantageous to the player). Whether or not the data indicating the allowable level stored in the means is appropriate data indicating the allowable level selectable by the allowable level selecting means may be determined. The same effect as that of the invention of item 6 can be obtained.
