Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game data display device capable of specifying an ending time of a specific state which is advantageous to a player without using a special means and displaying game data related to the specific state.SOLUTION: A display device 3 determines the end of an ART when five tokens are put out from a slot machine 1 by an operation that a player presses a wrong reel. Even though not directly determining the end of the ART based on a signal from the slot machine 1, the display device determines the end of the ART and correctly manages the game data during a non-ART.

Description

  The present invention relates to a game data display device and a game machine that display game data relating to a specific state in which the game machine is advantageous for a player.

  Conventionally, for gaming machines capable of generating an AT (assist time) state, game data during AT is generally displayed. The determination as to whether or not the AT is in progress is made, for example, by detecting a lighting state of an AT display lamp that is lit only during the AT (see Patent Document 1). In addition, a technique for inferring the AT state determination from the appearance rate is also disclosed.

JP 2006-020929 A

However, for a gaming machine that does not have an AT display lamp and outputs a start signal only at the start of the AT, it is difficult to specify the end time unless the duration of the AT is constant. Moreover, even if an AT display lamp is provided, work and cost for mounting the optical sensor are required.
Furthermore, although a technique for estimating the AT state determination from the payout rate has been disclosed, there is a problem that the accuracy of the determination is poor.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to specify an end time of a specific state that is advantageous for a player without using special means, and to display game data relating to the specific state. An object of the present invention is to provide a game data display device and a game machine.

The present invention provides a symbol variation display means for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols according to a predetermined arrangement in a plurality of symbol display areas, and a game start operation operated by a player in order to start a game with a game medium inserted And an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination from a plurality of types in accordance with the operation of the means and the game start operating means, and an internal winning flag corresponding to the determined internal winning combination is established An internal lottery means, a stop operation means operated by the player to stop the symbol fluctuation display by the symbol fluctuation display means, and a predetermined first stop determined at the time of internal winning when a predetermined specific combination is won internally When the operation is performed, the symbol is stopped and displayed in the first display mode, and a predetermined second stop operation that is different from the first stop operation and is determined at the time of internal winning is performed. Display control means for stopping and displaying a symbol in a second display mode different from the first display mode, and paying out a first specified number of game media when the symbol is stopped and displayed in the first display mode. , A payout means for paying out a second specified number of game media different from the first specified number when a symbol is stopped and displayed in the second display mode, and a specified state occurrence for generating a specified state advantageous to the player And a notification means for notifying the first stop operation when the specific combination is won internally in the specific state, and outputting a start signal indicating the start time but not indicating the end state of the end state of the specific state A game data display device for displaying game data relating to the specific state of the gaming machine having output means,
Start determination means for determining the start of the specific state based on reception of a start signal that cannot specify the end of the specific state from the gaming machine side but can specify the start, and the second regulation based on reception of the start signal End determination means for determining the end of the specific state when it is determined that a number of game media have been paid out, and a specific period from the determination of the start of the specific state to the determination of the end And a display means for displaying the game data calculated by the calculating means (claim 1).

2. The game data display device according to claim 1, wherein the end determining means determines the end of the first specified number of game media after determining the end before determining that the second specified number of game media has been paid out again. If it is determined a predetermined number of times that the payment has been made, the end determination may be withdrawn (claim 2).
3. The game data display device according to claim 1, wherein the end determination means is configured to determine whether a payout rate within a predetermined period specified in advance after the end determination or the first predetermined number of payouts within the predetermined period. When the predetermined value is exceeded, the end determination may be withdrawn (Claim 3).
4. The game data display device according to claim 1, wherein after the start determination means determines the start, the second specified number of game media are paid out within a predetermined minimum number of games. If it is determined, the determination of the start may be withdrawn (claim 4).

2. The game data display device according to claim 1, wherein the specific state generating means of the gaming machine satisfies a specific state continuation condition when a predetermined continuation period elapses after the start is determined. If the specific state is once interrupted and then the specific state is generated again on condition that a predetermined return condition has been satisfied, if the continuation condition is not satisfied, the specific state is terminated, The output means of the gaming machine also outputs the start signal even when the return condition is satisfied, and the notification means of the gaming machine has a series of periods from the initial start determination to the end determination. When the specific state is set, the first stop operation is also notified including the suspended period in the series of specific states, and the calculation means first calculates the number of times the series of specific states has occurred. It may be computed as the number of times or (claim 5).
A gaming machine according to the present invention comprises the gaming data display device according to any one of claims 1 to 5 (claim 6).

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the first stop operation is notified when the specific combination is won internally in the specific state, the second stop operation is not performed except when the stop operation is mistakenly performed. . Therefore, it can be determined that the specific state has already ended when the second specified number of game media have been paid out. Therefore, even for a gaming machine that outputs only a start signal, it is possible to determine the end of a specific state with high accuracy regardless of the optical sensor. As a result, it is possible to provide game data in a specific state with high accuracy, and to increase a player's satisfaction.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, even when the specific state continues, it can be withdrawn immediately even if it is determined that the end is caused by the second stop operation being mistakenly performed.
According to the invention of claim 3, even when the specific state is continued, it can be withdrawn later even when it is determined that the second stop operation has been mistakenly performed.
In addition, when a pressing order is missed during a specific state, for example, a model in which RT having a high winning probability of a replay role ends and only AT is continued can be handled.

A display window 7 (corresponding to the symbol display area) is provided on the front of the slot machine 1, and the player can visually recognize the symbol of the reel 8 (corresponding to symbol variation display means) provided inside through the display window 7. It has become.
FIG. 4 shows a reel design. The symbols are drawn on the circumferential surfaces of the left reel 8a, the middle reel 8b, and the right reel 8c. When the reels 8a to 8c are stopped, the symbols correspond to the upper, middle, and lower stages of the display window 7. Is displayed. The display window 7 is provided with a total of four winning lines as shown by broken lines in FIG. 3, and when the winning symbols are aligned on a winning line activated by medal insertion among any of the winning lines. A prize corresponding to is generated.

  Above the display window 7, there are a liquid crystal display unit 9 for displaying various information such as a payout progress state of medals in the bonus state, a lamp unit 10 composed of various lamps, and a speaker 11 for outputting various sound effects. Is provided. Below the display window 7, there are provided a MAXBET button 12 for inserting a credit medal, a credit settlement button 13 for adjusting a credit medal, and a medal insertion slot 14 for inserting a medal. A start lever 15 as means, a left stop button 16, a middle stop button 17 and a right stop button 18 as stop operation means are provided. On the right side of the display window 7, a payout number display unit 19 for displaying the number of payout medals and a credit display unit 20 for displaying the number of credit medals are provided. In addition, a medal payout exit 21 through which medals are paid out and a tray 22 for receiving medals paid out from the medal payout exit 21 are provided at the bottom front of the slot machine 1.

  When the slot machine 1 operates the start lever 15 in a series of game start operations, that is, a state where the player has inserted a medal into the medal slot 14 or a state where a credit medal has been inserted by operating the MAXBET button 12, the internal lottery And the reels 8a to 8c are started (rotation operation is started). After starting each reel 8a-8c, the slot machine 1 stops each reel 8a-8c according to operation of each stop button 16-18, and complete | finishes 1 game. If the result of the internal lottery is winning, the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination won by the internal lottery (the bonus combination flag, the small combination flag and the replay combination flag are set to “1” (established). Based on the internal winning flag, stop control including so-called slip control (retraction control) (control to stop each reel 8a to 8c with a winning symbol or a lost symbol according to the type of the internal winning flag), and the winning symbol The number of medals corresponding to the number is paid out from the medal payout exit 21. The pull-in control is to pull up to four symbols on the winning line and stop it from the time when the operation of each stop button 16-18 is detected. It is possible control.

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the internal winning combination and the winning symbol. The winning symbols include the BB role symbol, the RB role symbol, the 6 role symbol, the 5 role A to F symbol, the 2 role symbol, the 1 role symbol, the normal replay role symbol, the promoted replay role symbol, and the fall replay role A. ~ C design is set. The BB state ends with the payout of more than 300 medals, and the RB state ends with 8 wins. The number of inserted sheets in the BB state and the RB state is two.
FIG. 6 shows a winning line where the stop symbol is valid. As the winning lines, there are set one winning line 4 passing through the upper stage of each reel 8a to 8c in the illustrated horizontal direction and three winning lines 1 to 3 crossing the middle stage of the middle reel 8b.

FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the slot machine 1 described above. The control unit 23 of the slot machine 1 (corresponding to internal lottery means, display control means, payout means, specific state generation means, notification means, and output means) is a microcomputer equipped with a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, and the like. The main operation of the slot machine 1 is executed.
The control unit 23 inputs each operation signal from the start lever 15, the left stop button 16, the middle stop button 17, the right stop button 18, the MAXBET button 12 and the credit check button 13, and the medal inserted into the medal slot 14. An inserted medal detection signal is input from the inserted medal detection unit 25 that determines authenticity and passage, and a setting signal is input from the set value operation unit 26. Further, the control unit 23 detects each of the reel driving units 28 that drive the reel motors 27a to 27c corresponding to the reels 8a to 8c and the passage of the reference position pieces provided on the reels 8a to 8c. A reference position detection unit 30 that detects a reference position based on detection signals from the sensors 29a to 29c, a medal payout unit 31 that pays out medals from a medal payout port 21, and various display units 19 and 20 are connected.

  Based on each input signal and the control program stored in the ROM, the control unit 23 includes a reel drive unit 28, a medal payout unit 31, various display units 19 and 20, a liquid crystal display unit 9, an audio output unit (speaker) 11, and a lamp. Controls the operation of the unit 10 and outputs an out signal (1 pulse output for every medal insertion or 1 credit medal bet) and a safe signal (1 pulse output for every 1 medal payout or 1 credit medal payout) , And a signal output unit 32 by controlling generation of a game signal (output one pulse every time a game is started), a BB signal (level signal output during the BB state), and an RB signal (level signal output during the RB state). To do.

FIG. 8 shows the transition of the gaming state of the slot machine 1. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 includes an RT0 state, an RT1 state, an RT2 state, and a bonus state (BB state, RB state) that occurs when a bonus combination is won. In the RT0 state and the RT1 state, there are a normal state and an AT state, and in the RT2 state, there are a non-AT and an ART (after the AT ends, only RT corresponds to a specific state).
At the time of shipment, it is a normal state in the RT0 state, and even if the power is turned on / off, the gaming state does not change. RT1 state is generated if one piece combination is missed in the RT0 state, and the RT1 state is generated when the fall replay combination is awarded or the fall symbol is stopped and displayed in the RT1 state. . At this time, an ART signal is output. When the falling symbol is stopped and displayed in the RT2 state, the RT0 state is generated.

  FIG. 9 shows a small role internal winning table of the slot machine 1. In the RT0 state, in addition to the single winning combination, the double winning combination, the six winning combination, and the normal replay winning combination ("normal lip" in the figure) alone, the five winning combination A and the five winning combination B to F Either one will win simultaneously. When 5 winning combinations A and any one of 5 winning combinations B to F are won at the same time (corresponding to “when a specific specified winning combination is won internally)”, the bell symbol is a middle reel according to the combination and the pressing order. 8b is controlled to stop at the upper or middle stage, and when stopped at the upper stage (winning with one winning line), 5 cards (corresponding to the second specified number), when stopping at the middle stage (with three winning lines) For the (winning), 15 medals (corresponding to the first specified number) are paid out.

In the following pushing order (corresponding to the first stop operation), the bell symbol stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 8b (corresponds to “stop display of symbols in the first display mode”), and in other cases (second stop operation) To the upper stage (corresponding to “stop display of symbols in a second display mode different from the first display mode”).
5-seat A + 5-seat B is won at the same time ... Stop middle reel 8b first (middle reel 8b-> right reel 8c-> left reel 8a or middle reel 8b-> left reel 8a-> right reel 8c)
5 doubles A + 5 doubles C won simultaneously ... Left reel 8a⇒Middle reel 8b⇒Right reel 8c
5-seat A + 5-seat D wins simultaneously ... Left reel 8a⇒Right reel 8c⇒Middle reel 8b
5 doubles A + 5 doubles E won simultaneously ... Middle reel 8b ⇒ right reel 8c ⇒ left reel 8a
5-seat A + 5-seat F wins at the same time ... Middle reel 8b ⇒ left reel 8a ⇒ right reel 8c
In the AT state, when the five-piece combination A and any one of the five-piece combinations B to F are simultaneously won, the pressing order is notified so that the bell symbol is stopped and displayed in the middle stage.
Therefore, in the AT state, the player can increase the number of acquired medals by stopping the reels 8a to 8c in the pressing order notified by the AT function.

  When the 5-piece combination A + 5-piece combination B to F is won internally, and the bell symbol is stopped and displayed on the upper stage of the middle reel 8 b, the bell symbol is arranged on the winning line 4. At this time, the falling symbol is stopped and displayed on the winning line 3. It falls from the RT1 state or the RT2 state to the RT0 state by the stop display of the falling symbol. Not only when the fallen symbol stops due to the end of AT, but also when the fallen symbol is stopped and displayed due to a pressing order error during ART, it falls from the RT1 or RT2 state to the RT0 state and the AT ends. To do. If the number of AT games remains, it may be modified so that only the AT continues thereafter.

  In the RT1 state, the small role winning probability is the same as in the RT0 state, and a bonus lottery is performed while suppressing the decrease in medals by the AT function, while the replay role cannot be won alone, and the normal replay role and two falls A replay role ("falling lip" in the figure) or a promotion replay role ("promotional lip" in the figure) and two falling replay roles are won simultaneously. In this case, since the number of random numbers that the normal replay combination and two fall replay combinations win simultaneously is 5461 × 3 = 16383, the winning probability is 16383 / 65536≈¼. Similarly, the probability that the promoted replay role is won simultaneously with the two fall replay roles is about 1/30.

If a normal replay role (or promoted replay role) and two fall replay roles are won at the same time, the normal replay role symbol (or promoted replay role symbol) will be stopped when the following conditions are met, otherwise The fall replay role symbol is stopped and displayed.
Normal replay role (or promoted replay role) + tumble replay role A + tumble replay role B wins simultaneously ... Stop the left reel 8a first Normal replay role (or promoted replay role) + tumble replay role B + tumble replay role C Winning …… Right reel 8c stopped first Normal replay role (or promoted replay role) + falling replay role C + falling replay role A won simultaneously …… Intermediate reel 8b stopped first Bell design stopped in the middle of the middle reel 8b If you do, bell symbols are lined up on the winning line 3. As a result, the falling symbol does not stop on the winning line.

  When a normal replay role (or promoted replay role) is selected at the same time, the normal replay role (or promoted replay role) wins in the above push order, and if the replay role wins, the game is played without inserting medals. If the promotion replay combination is won, the RT2 state is generated. The fall replay combination wins in a push order different from the above push order, in which case the RT0 state occurs.

In the AT state, when the normal replay role (or promoted replay role) and the fall replay role are won simultaneously, the push order is notified so that the promoted replay role wins.
Therefore, the player can surely win the normal replay combination by the pressing order notified by the AT function, or can surely win the promoted replay combination and generate the RT2 state.

In the RT2 state, the small role winning probability is the same as in the RT1 state, but the winning probability of the normal replay role is set to about five times. Further, similarly to the RT0 state, an AT function for informing the reel pressing order is executed on the condition that the ART is won.
Therefore, the player can increase the number of acquired medals by the AT function while suppressing the decrease of medals by the RT function.
In the RT2 state, when ART is won, only RT will be available after the AT ends. Also, ART is a set of 50 games, and if the ART right remains at the end of one set, it enters the next set as it is.

On the other hand, the control unit 23 shifts from a low-accuracy state in which ART is difficult to win to a high-accuracy state in which it is easy to win, or from a high-accuracy state to a low-accuracy state, according to the following conditions being satisfied.
(1) Transition from low-accuracy state to high-accuracy state After completion of BB state: 70%
50% after RB state ends
At the time of winning two roles …… 3%
At the time of winning 6 sheets …… 20%
(2) Transition from high to low probability every game ...... 0.2%
At the time of winning the replay role …… 12%
The control unit 23 adds the ART winning right number to the ART right, assuming that the ART is won when the following condition is satisfied.

(1) As shown in FIG. 10 which shows the ART lottery table at the time of internal winning of a small role in a low-probability state and a non-bonus state in a high-accuracy state, execution is performed in accordance with the internal winning of the 2nd and 6th Win the ART lottery. In this case, since the number of winnings for each ART winning right number is set differently according to the set value, the ART winning probability and the ART occurrence probability are set differently for each setting value. Although FIG. 9 shows the case of the setting values 1 and 6, actually, the setting values 2 to 5 are set similarly.
(2) As shown in FIG. 11 which shows the ART lottery table at the time of internal winning of a single winning combination in the BB state, winning an ART lottery executed in response to the internal winning of a single winning combination in the BB state.
(3) During the ART, the RB role and the BB role shall be elected internally. In this case, the ART lottery is not won, but 1 is added to the ART right.

When the ART is won in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the AT state is generated after the latent state of 0 to 32 games is completed by lottery. The same applies to the case where the BB state and the RB state are terminated while the ART right remains.
The control unit 23 draws an effect with a probability according to whether it is in a low or high probability state for each game, and controls the lamp unit 10, the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the audio output unit (speaker) 11 for the winning effect. To execute.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the display device 3. The control unit 33 (start determination unit, end determination unit, calculation unit) of the display device 3 is configured by a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O, and the like. Game information is received from 5. The control unit 33 detects an operation on the touch panel 34 and switches game data displayed on the data display unit 35 (corresponding to display means) accordingly.

  The display device 3 displays in real time the number of players acquired and the net increase per game during ART, as well as the total number of games during ART and the number of small role winnings (probability) during AT. Also, if a bonus is won during ART and once ART is ended, if ART occurs again until the difference medal after the bonus ends is less than -100, the previous ART and the number of bonuses acquired are added together. To display the cumulative number of images acquired. Therefore, the player can check the game data in the ART by displaying on the display device 3.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing signal output processing of the slot machine 1. Note that the signal output processing shown in FIG. 12 shows only signal output related to the present invention, and of course, the slot machine 1 outputs a bonus state signal. The slot machine 1 determines whether a game start operation has been detected in a state where the game can be started (A1), a medal payout has been executed (A3), or a promotion replay role has been won (A5).
When the player operates the start lever 15 with a medal inserted into the slot machine 1, the slot machine 1 detects a game start operation (A1: YES) and transmits an out signal (A2). When a medal payout is executed by executing the game (A3: YES), a safe signal is transmitted (A4).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing game data calculation processing of the display device 3. The display device 3 determines whether an out signal has been received (B1), a safe signal has been received (B2), an ART start signal has been received (B8), or a bonus status signal has been received (B10). Yes. When an out signal is received (B1: YES), it is determined whether the ART flag is 1 (B5), and when the ART flag is 0 (B5: NO), it is calculated as non-ART game data (B7). . When a safe signal is received (B2: YES), it is determined whether or not 5 sheets are paid out (B3). When 5 sheets are not paid out (B3: NO) and the ART flag is 0 (B5: NO), it is calculated as non-ART game data (B7).

When the promoted replay combination wins (A5: YES), the slot machine 1 transmits an ART start signal (A6).
When receiving the ART start signal (B8: YES), the display device 3 sets the ART flag to 1 (B9). When an out signal is received with this ART flag set to 1 (B1: YES, B5: YES) or a safe signal is received (B2: YES, B5: YES), it is calculated as game data in ART. (B6).
When a bonus is won during ART in the slot machine 1, the display device 3 receives the bonus status signal (B10: YES), and therefore sets the ART flag to 0 (B11). As a result, “out” and “safe” are managed as non-ART game data thereafter (B5: NO, B7).

Now, during the ART, since the player plays while avoiding winning even if the falling symbol is won internally by the AT function, the five-player combination A and the five-player combinations B to F were won simultaneously. In such a case, it is very unlikely that the falling symbol will stop display.
However, as described above, when the ART flag is set to 0 due to the occurrence of the bonus state, the AT function is ended, and when the 5-sheet combination A and the 5-sheet combinations BF are simultaneously won, the winning line 4 is displayed. There is a high possibility that the bell symbols are lined up and the falling symbols are stopped and displayed on the winning line 3.
Therefore, when the falling symbol is stopped and five medals are paid out (B3: YES), the display device 3 determines that the ART has ended, sets the ART flag to 0 (B4), and thereafter. Then, the game data in the non-ART is managed (B7).

According to such an embodiment, the display device 3 determines the end of ART when five medals are paid out from the slot machine 1 due to the player pushing the reel in error, so Even if it is not possible to directly determine the end of ART based on this signal, it is possible to determine the end of ART and correctly manage game data in a non-ART.
In addition, since such an effect can be implemented by determining whether or not the number of medals to be paid out is five, it can be easily implemented without increasing the cost.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention (corresponding to the invention according to claim 5) will be described with reference to FIGS. The second embodiment is characterized in that the slot machine 1 can return to the ART when the ART ends in a state where the ART is available.
FIG. 14 shows the relationship between the internal winning combination and the winning symbol, FIG. 15 is a transition diagram showing changes in the operating state of the slot machine 1, and FIG. 16 shows the small winning internal winning table, which is compared with the first embodiment. And the fall replay combination and the fall symbol are not set.

  The slot machine 1 operates as follows. When the normal replay role and the promoted replay role are simultaneously won in the RT1 state, when the left reel 8a or the middle reel 8b is first stopped, the normal replay role is won and the right reel 8c is stopped first. And stop control so that the promoted replay role wins. In this case, unless the AT function is operating, when the right reel 8c is first stopped, a penalty is imposed that the ART lottery is not performed. Therefore, the player needs to stop the left reel 8a or the middle reel 8b first so as not to be penalized. If the promoted replay combination wins as a result of the right reel 8c being stopped, the RT2 state is entered but no AT is generated, and the ART lottery is not executed even in the RT2 state.

When the ART is won in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the AT state is generated after the latent state of 0 to 32 games is completed by lottery. When the promoted replay combination wins in the AT state in the RT1 state, the RT2 state (ART) is generated. ART consists of one set of 40 games. If ART rights remain after 40 games have elapsed, the ART is once again interrupted via the RT1 state after the ART is interrupted.
Due to such game play, the ART right is generated in the RT2 state, and it is highly possible that the ART right remains after 40 games have passed.

On the other hand, the display device 3 operates as follows.
Number of first hits of ART (the number of occurrences of a series of ARTs, which is a period from the first ART start determination to the end determination), the number of ART occurrences (number of ART start determinations), and a series of ART starts The number of players acquired from the end of the game until the end, the cumulative number of games during a series of ART, the number of small role winnings (probability) during a series of ART (AT) are displayed. During the ART, the number of players acquired, The net increase in number per game is displayed in real time.

When 40 games have elapsed since the reception of the ART start signal, if the ART right remains, it is temporarily interrupted, and then the start signal is received again according to the winning of the promoted replay role, and it is determined that the game has returned to ART. In this case, since the ART is only interrupted, when the first hit count is counted, the second ART signal is ignored and the number of players acquired is continuously displayed. In addition, when counting the number of occurrences of ART, the second ART signal is also counted.
As long as the ART start signal is continuously re-received prior to detecting the payout of 5 sheets, the number of first hits, the number of generated ARTs, and the number of players acquired are displayed as the ART continues. . On the other hand, the end of ART is determined when five sheets are detected.

  According to such an embodiment, when a new ART is generated immediately after a series of ARTs is once completed, it is possible to accurately perform the aggregation separately from the case of “interruption”. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately manage game data during ART or non-ART.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
If the end of ART is determined based on the detection of five sheets, the determination of the end may be withdrawn when 15 sheets are detected a predetermined number of times before the five sheets are detected again. Equivalent to the invention according to
Even if the end of the ART is determined based on the detection of five payouts, the determination of the end is withdrawn when it is determined that the ART is continuing based on the subsequent payout rate and the winning probability of the replay role. Good (equivalent to the invention according to claim 3).

When it is determined that five medals have been paid out within the predetermined minimum number of games after the ART is started by receiving the ART start signal, the start determination may be withdrawn. Good (corresponding to the invention according to claim 4). According to such a configuration, when a pressing order is missed during a specific state, for example, it is possible to cope with a model in which RT having a high winning probability of a replay role ends and only AT continues. Also, it is possible to deal with a model that does not generate an ART when the RT2 state occurs due to the fact that there is no notification by the AT and the player has won the promotion replay role by himself.

In the present invention, the winning probabilities of the two winning combination and the six winning combination that are AT lottery winnings are the same between the set values 1 and 6, and the AT winning probabilities are different at the time of winning the two winning combination and the six winning combination. Alternatively, the winning probability of the AT lottery combination may be varied for each set value so that the AT winning probability at the time of winning the AT lottery combination is different. Further, both the winning probability of the AT lottery combination and the AT winning probability at the time of winning the AT lottery combination may be different for each set value.
The AT lottery is not limited to the internal winning of the specific small role, and for example, the AT lottery may be performed at the time of losing or for each game.
