A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2) are associated with the former carry-over possible flag, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the winning big bonus is carried over until the winning big bonus is won. Process. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is carried over. Is going. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, if the winning combination of the lottery flag of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, it will be won already. A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a big bonus lottery flag and a small role won in the internal lottery or a replay lottery flag is set in a winning state.

  The reel control means 130 starts rotation driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by a stepping motor based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation to the start lever SL by the player. Press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are normally rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). The control which makes the stop operation by this effective is performed, and the control which stops the 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the aspect according to the setting state (result of an internal lottery) of a lottery flag I do.

  The reel controller 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. Based on the signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to perform control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in principle, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. In the bonus state, the first reel R1 is exceptionally stopped within 75 ms from when the stop button B1 is pressed, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped with the stop buttons B2, B3.

In addition, when a rotating reel is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops is in a range of 0 to 1 frame (narrower than a predetermined pull-in range). (The pull-in range, the second pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. Within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (when stopped within 190 ms), or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame (stops within 75 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line ), The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed at the display position on the active line. The reel is stopped.

  Specifically, the reel control unit 130 obtains the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190 and the process for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). A process for determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process) is performed with reference.

  First, in the logic calculation process, a range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the frame. In the bonus state, with respect to the first reel R1, priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for two frames existing within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame from the pressing detection position, and the second reel R2 and the third reel are obtained. For R3, the priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for 5 frames corresponding to the pressed detection position in the same manner as described above. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”, and the lottery flags relating to two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state in the logic operation processing. In this case, according to the priority order associated with each combination, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination form with the lower priority for the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning pattern with the higher priority combination The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidates of.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidate when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the active line. There is a case where the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the stop position candidate is determined according to the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line. The priority for each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line increases, and the medal When the priority for the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of payouts, the number of medals paid out based on the small part payout corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line is large. That the stop position so as priority (stop position capable of winning a prize is often small win) increases determine the priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  In this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, a logic operation corresponding to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, the correct answer hit order is set for each of the hit order bell L, the hit order bell C1, the hit order bell C2, the hit order bell R1, and the hit order bell R2, and an order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. . Then, when any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a logic operation is performed to determine the priority according to the number of medals paid out, and the number of medals paid out is the largest. The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate stop position becomes the highest. Also, if any of the hitting bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the priority for the stop position candidates according to the types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line The priority is calculated so that the priority of the stop position candidates that can display the symbol combinations constituting the most winning patterns is the highest. In the present embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell C1, the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, and the batting order bell R2 is won, the first reel is stopped when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order. In this case, the stop position candidate with the largest number of payouts of medals is the stop position candidate that can display the symbol combinations that make up the most winning patterns. In the correct answer order, the priority of the stop position candidate with the largest number of payouts of medals is high, and when the reel stops in the second and subsequent turns, the highest winning mode is selected. The priority of the candidate of the stop position which can display the symbol combination to comprise becomes high.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, among the multiple types of small roles included in each batting order bell, the bell has one type of symbol combination that indicates a payout of 15 and shows a winning pattern. Each of the small combination A1 and the special small combination A2 has a single payout, and there are two types of symbol combinations indicating a winning form. The special small combination B and the special small combination C both have a single payout and the winning form. There are four types of symbol combinations constituting each. For this reason, when any of the batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win a bell with a large number of payout medals is the highest. When the logic operation is performed so as to increase, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answering order, a candidate for a stop position that can win a special small role that increases the types of symbol combinations indicating the winning mode is selected. A logic operation is performed so that the priority is the highest.

  For example, when the batting order bell L is won, the priority of the stop position candidates for displaying the symbols constituting the bell winning pattern in the correct answer order becomes higher, and the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the special small role B in the incorrect answer order. Logic calculation is performed so that the priority of the candidate stop positions to be displayed is higher.

  Also, for example, when the hitting order bell C1 or the hitting order bell C2 is won, the priority of the stop position candidate displaying the symbols constituting the bell winning pattern is higher in the correct answer order, and the stop button B1 is first pressed in the incorrect answer order. In this case, the priority of the stop position candidates constituting the winning form of the special small combination A1 or special small combination A2 is high, and special is required when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first in the incorrect answering order. The logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidates constituting the winning combination of the small role B is high.

  In this embodiment, when the second reel R2 is first stopped when the batting order bell C1 is won in the first bonus established state, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first big bonus (BB1) is won. Since the display symbol of the second reel R2 in the form and the display symbol of the second reel R2 in the winning form of the special small role A1 included in the batting order bell C1 are both BAR symbols “BAR”, the winning order of the batting order bell C1 in the normal state When the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed on the active line, the number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line increases. However, when the batting order bell C1 is won, the stop button B2 is first pressed. When stopping the second reel R2 for the first time, displaying the bell symbol “BL” on the active line increases the number of medals paid out and is effective. Since also the most kinds of symbol combinations to be displayable on in, it does not first big bonus (BB1) that is winning influence the result of the logic operation.

  In the present embodiment, when the third reel R3 stops for the first time when the batting order bell C1 or the batting order bell C2 is won in the second bonus establishment state, a result of a logic operation different from the normal state may be obtained. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the display symbol of the third reel R3 in the winning form of the second big bonus (BB2), the special small combination A1 and the batting order bell C2 included in the batting order bell C1. Since all the symbols displayed on the third reel R3 in the winning form of the special small role A2 included in the BAR symbol are “BAR”, there are many kinds of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line. Are candidates for a stop position where the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed on the active line.

  For example, when the third reel R3 is first stopped by first pressing the stop button B3 at the time of winning the batting order bell C1 in the second bonus establishment state, a winning combination winning form that can be displayed on the active line is displayed. There are four types of symbols: bell symbol “BL”, BAR symbol “BAR”, replay symbol A “RPA”, and replay symbol BAR “RPB”. The bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the active line. There are one type of symbol combination ("BL / BL / BL") that indicates the winning pattern that can be displayed in the event that the BAR symbol "BAR" is displayed on the active line. Three types of combinations (“BAR / BAR / BAR”), “PRA / Red 7A / BAR”, “RPA / BAR / BAR”), Replay Design A “RPA” on the effective line Two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed when displayed ("Red 7A / BL / RPA", "Red 7B / BL / RPA"), Replay symbol B "RPB" are displayed on the active line There are two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed in the case of winning ("Red 7A / BL / RPB", "Red 7B / BL / RPB"), and the symbols indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line. When the logic calculation for obtaining the priority so as to increase the types of combinations is performed, the symbol combination “BAR” is displayed when the symbol combinations indicating the most winning patterns can be displayed. In this case, when the third reel R3 stops, only the second big bonus (BB2) and the special small combination A1 can win. If the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” or the BAR symbol “BAR” can be drawn on the active line when the second reel R2 is stopped, the special small role A1 wins. When the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed on the active line when the second reel R2 is stopped, the second big bonus (BB2) and the special bonus are displayed even when the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped. All of the small combinations A1 are ready to win, but the special small combination A1 has a higher priority than the second big bonus (BB2), and the display pattern of the first reel R1 in the special small combination A1 winning form. Since the replay symbol A “PRA” is drawn on the active line in preference to the BAR symbol “BAR” when the first reel R1 is stopped, the special small role A1 wins. If neither the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” nor the BAR symbol “BAR” can be drawn on the active line when the second reel R2 is stopped, no winning combination is won.

  Also, for example, even when the batting order bell C2 is won in the second bonus established state, when the third reel R3 is stopped first by first pressing the stop button B3, the winning combination that can be displayed on the active line is won. There are four types of symbols, the bell symbol “BL”, the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol A “RPA”, and the replay symbol BAR “RPB”, but the bell symbol “BL” is on the effective line. There is one type of symbol combination ("BL / BL / BL") indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed when it is displayed, and the winning combination that can be displayed when the BAR symbol "BAR" is displayed on the active line. Three types of symbol combinations (“BAR / BAR / BAR”), “PRA / Red 7B / BAR”, “RPA / Red 7C / BAR”), Replay Symbol A “RPA” There are two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed when they are displayed on the screen ("Red 7A / BL / RPA", "Red 7B / BL / RPA"), and Replay Symbol B "RPB" is an effective line. There are two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed when displayed above ("Red 7A, BL, RPB", "Red 7B, BL, RPB") and can be displayed on the active line. When the logic calculation for obtaining the priority is performed so that the number of symbol combinations indicating “” increases, the symbol combination “BAR” is displayed when the symbol combinations indicating the most winning patterns can be displayed. In this case, when the third reel R3 stops, only the second big bonus (BB2) and the special small combination A2 can be won. If the red 7 symbol B “red 7B” or the red 7 symbol C “red 7C” can be drawn on the active line when the second reel R2 is stopped, the special small role A2 wins. Also, when the second reel R2 is stopped, the red 7 symbol B “red 7B” and the red 7 symbol C “red 7C” cannot be drawn on the effective line, but the BAR symbol “BAR” is effective. If it can be pulled up, by displaying the BAR symbol “BAR” on the active line, only the second big bonus (BB2) can be won, and the BAR symbol is displayed when the first reel R1 is stopped. When “BAR” can be drawn on the active line, the second big bonus (BB2) is won, and when the first reel R1 is stopped, the BAR symbol “BAR” cannot be drawn on the active line. Will not win any of the roles. If none of the red 7 symbol B “red 7B”, the red 7 symbol C “red 7C”, and the BAR symbol “BAR” can be drawn on the active line when the second reel R2 is stopped, The role of will not win. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell C2 is won in the second bonus establishment state, the third reel R3 → the second reel R2 by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order of B3 → B2 → B1. → If each reel is stopped in the order of the first reel R1, there is a case where the second big bonus (BB2) is won.

  Also, for example, when the hitting order bell R1 or the hitting order bell R2 is won, the priority of the stop position candidates for displaying the symbols constituting the bell winning pattern is higher in the correct answer order, and the stop button B1 is first pressed in the incorrect answer order. In this case, the priority of the stop position candidates constituting the winning form of the special small combination A1 or special small combination A2 is high, and special is required when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first in the incorrect answering order. The logic calculation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidates constituting the winning combination of the small combination C becomes higher.

  When the second reel R2 stops first when the batting order bell R1 is won in the first bonus establishment state or the second bonus establishment state, a result of a logic operation different from the normal state may be obtained. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the display pattern of the second reel R2 in the winning pattern of the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2) and the batting order bell R1 are included. Since all the symbols displayed on the second reel R2 in the winning style of the special small role A1 are BAR symbols “BAR”, the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning styles that can be displayed on the effective line is increased. , The stop position candidates for displaying the BAR symbol “BAR” on the active line are included.

  More specifically, when the second reel R2 is first stopped by first pressing the stop button B2 when the batting order bell R1 is won in the first bonus establishment state or the second bonus establishment state, The symbols that make up the winning form of the winning combination that can be displayed on the top are the bell symbol “BL”, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A”, the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol A “RPA”, and the replay symbol BAR “RPB”. However, there is one symbol combination (“BL / BL / BL”) and a red 7 symbol A “" that indicates the winning pattern that can be displayed when the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the active line. One symbol combination ("RPA / Red 7A / BAR") indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed when "Red 7A" is displayed on the active line, and the BAR symbol "BAR" is displayed on the active line. There are two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed in such a case ("WM / BAR / CH" (first bonus established state) or "BAR / BAR / BAR" (second bonus established state), "RPA"). -BAR / BAR "), and replay symbol A" RPA "is displayed on the active line, there are two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed (" Red 7A / RPA / BL "," Red 7B / RPA · BL ”), Replay symbol B“ RPB ”is displayed on the active line, and there are two types of symbol combinations that can be displayed (“ Red 7A / RPB / BL ”,“ Red 7B / RPB ”).・ "BL"), and if you perform a logic operation to determine the priority so that there are more types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line, you can display the symbol combinations that show the most winning patterns. If the is the case of displaying the BAR symbol "BAR", and three types of cases to be displayed if, and replay symbol B "RPB" for displaying the replay symbol A "PRA". Of these, the BAR symbol “BAR” and the replay symbol A “RPA” are both on the effective line based on the positional relationship between the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol A “PRA”, and the replay symbol B “PRB” shown in FIG. There are cases where the BAR symbol “BAR” and the replay symbol B “RPB” can both be drawn on the active line. In this case, in this embodiment, in the logic calculation, there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position with the highest priority, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is determined by a stop control table to be described later. The stop position is determined so that the replay symbol A “RPA” and the replay symbol B “RPB” constituting the winning combination of the combination C are displayed on the active line. However, the stop position candidate in which the replay symbol A “RPA” and the replay symbol B “RPB” are displayed on the active line in the logic calculation is more effective than the stop position candidate in which the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed on the active line. You may treat as a thing with high priority. Further, not limited to the above, the candidate of the stop position in which the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed on the active line in the logic calculation is more suitable than the candidate of the stop position in which the replay symbol A “RPA” or the replay symbol B “RPB” is displayed. The stop position may be determined so that the priority is high, or the stop control table displays the BAR symbol “BAR” on the active line.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index 315). It has become. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, the stop control table storage means of the storage means 190 indicates which position is set as the stop position. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193.

  Here, in the stop control table, according to the setting state of the lottery flag, the actual position is detected from the press detection position that is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (when the stop button is pressed) and the actual press detection position. A correspondence relationship with the number of sliding frames indicating the amount of rotation to the stop position is set. In the stop control table, the correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” and the red 7 symbol B “red” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. 7B ", red 7 symbol C" red 7C ", BAR symbol" BAR ", replay symbol A" RPA ", replay symbol B" RPB ", bell symbol" BL ", watermelon symbol" WM ", and cherry symbol" CH " In particular, the bell symbol “BL” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. For this reason, when a symbol existing within four frames from the pressing detection position is drawn, the bell symbol “BL” can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the replay symbol A “RPA” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1. For this reason, when a symbol existing within four frames from the pressing detection position is drawn, the replay symbol A “RPA” can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the replay symbol A “RPA” or the replay is performed on the bell symbol “BL” arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the second reel R2 and the third reel R3. The symbol B “RPM” is arranged adjacently. For this reason, when drawing a symbol existing within 4 frames from the pressed detection position, regardless of the pressed detection position, either replay symbol A “PRA” or replay symbol B “RPB” is displayed on the active line. It can be made to.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, for the bell symbol “BL” arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” or the red 7 symbol B “Red 7B” is arranged adjacently. For this reason, when drawing a symbol existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position, red 7 symbol A “red 7A” or red 7 symbol B “red 7B” is displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position. Either one can be displayed.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol A “" with respect to the replay symbol A “RPA” and the replay symbol B “RPB” arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R 2. Red 7A ", Red 7 design B" Red 7B ", or Red 7 design C" Red 7C "are arranged adjacent to each other. Replay design A" RPA "or Replay design B" The red 7 symbol A “red 7A”, the red 7 symbol B “red 7B”, or the red 7 symbol C “red 7C” is positioned across the “RPB”. For this reason, when drawing a symbol existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position, red 7 symbol A “red 7A”, red 7 symbol B “red 7B”, Alternatively, any one of the red 7 symbols C “red 7C” can be displayed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3, and the BAR symbol. “BAR” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less. For this reason, when drawing a symbol that is within 4 frames from the pressed detection position, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” or the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position. Can be done.

  In the internal lottery, in the stop control table referred to when any of the batting order bell L, batting order bell C1, batting order bell C2, batting order bell R1, and batting order bell R2 is won, as shown in FIG. The correct answer hit order is set, and the pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, when the striking order bell L is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer striking order, the number of sliding symbols with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that the bell wins. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the striking order, the number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that the special small role B wins. In the present embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell C1, the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, and the batting order bell R2 is won, the bell wins a prize when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order. When the number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the special small role A1 or special special is applied in the order 1 or 2 in which the stop button B1 is first pressed. The number of sliding symbols for the press detection position is set so that there is a case where the small combination A2 wins and a case where none of the small roles wins, and the striking order in which the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first In 3 to 6 in order of hitting, the number of sliding symbols with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that special small combination B or special small combination C wins. Also in the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that it becomes the stop position where the most medals are paid out in the correct answer order, and in the incorrect answer order, the combination of symbols that can be displayed on the active line The number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that the stop position has the largest number of types.

  In the present embodiment, the stop control table referred to when the batting order bell C1 or the batting order bell C2 is won in the second bonus establishment state includes data for determining the stop position in a manner different from that in FIG. For example, when the batting order bell C1 is won in the second bonus establishment state, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are arranged in the order of batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) or batting order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1) shown in FIG. When the key is pressed, the number of sliding symbols for the pressing detection position is set so that there is a case where the special small combination A1 wins and a case where no combination wins. Further, for example, when the hitting bell C2 is won in the second bonus established state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of the hitting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) shown in FIG. There is a case where the player wins a prize and a case where none of the winning combinations are won. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of the batting order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1) shown in FIG. The number of sliding symbols with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there are a case where a bonus (BB2) is won, a case where a special small combination A2 is won, and a case where no combination is won.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the normal replay and special replay are won in the internal lottery, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are displayed in a specific batting order (B3 → B1 → B2, B3 → B2 → B1: stop button B3). The special replay wins when pressed in the first pressing order), and the slide piece relative to the pressed detection position so that the normal replay wins when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order other than the specific batting order. Number is set.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, with reference to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first big bonus (BB1), the second big bonus (BB2), the normal replay, the special, as shown in FIGS. A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not a replay, a bell, a special small combination A1, a special small combination A2, a special small combination B, a special small combination C, and a cherry are won. It should be noted that “ANY” in the winning type of cherry in FIG. 8 indicates that any symbol may be used.

  In the present embodiment, two types of winning combinations are set for the special small combination A1 and the special small combination A2, and 4 for each of the special small combination B and the special small combination C. Symbol combinations indicating types of winning patterns are set, both of which are more than the types of symbol combinations indicating the winning style of the bell. A common symbol is assigned to the reel R2, and a common symbol is assigned to the third reel R3 in the winning type of the bell and the special winning combination C.

  As for the bell, as shown in FIG. 5, the bell symbols “BL” constituting the bell winning form in each reel are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position. Therefore, it is a role that can be awarded regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  As for the special small combination A1, as shown in FIG. 5, the replay symbol A “RPA” constituting the special small combination A1 winning form in the first reel R1 and the special small combination A1 winning form in the third reel R3. The BAR symbols “BAR” to be configured are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position, but constitute the winning form of the special small role A1 in the second reel R2. Since there is a pressing detection position where the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” and the BAR symbol “BAR” are not included in the pull-in range, it is not possible to win a prize unless the stop button B2 is pressed at an appropriate timing. Yes.

  As for the special small combination A2, as shown in FIG. 5, the replay symbol A “RPA” constituting the special small combination A1 winning form in the first reel R1 and the special small combination A1 winning form in the third reel R3. The BAR symbols “BAR” to be configured are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position, but constitute the winning form of the special small role A2 in the second reel R2. Since there is a pressing detection position where the red 7 symbol B “red 7B” and the red 7 symbol C “red 7C” are not included in the pull-in range, it is impossible to win a prize unless the stop button B2 is pressed at an appropriate timing. It has become.

  As for the special small role B, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” and the red 7 symbol B “red 7B” constituting the winning form of the special small role B in the first reel R1, The bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning form of the special small role B in the two reels R2, and the replay symbol A “RPA” and the replaying symbol B “RPB” constituting the winning type of the special small role B in the third reel R3, However, since all are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position, it is possible to win regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. .

  As for the special small role C, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol A “red 7A” and the red 7 symbol B “red 7B” constituting the winning form of the special small role C in the first reel R1, The replay symbol A “RPA” and the replay symbol B “RPB” constituting the winning form of the special small role B in the two reels R2, and the bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning shape of the special small role B in the third reel R3. However, since all are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position, it is possible to win regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. .

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a process at the time of winning, for example, when a small combination (bell, special small combination A1, special small combination A2, special small combination B, special small combination C, cherry) is won, the payout control means 150 performs medal payout control. When the process is performed and the replay (normal replay, special replay) is won, the replay processing unit 160 performs the replay process, and the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won. In the game state transition control means 170, a game state transition control process for transitioning the game state is performed.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are assigned to the hopper unit 320 ( The payout device is controlled to pay out. In the present embodiment, there is an upper limit (for example, 15) for the number of medals paid out in one game, and when the total number of payouts exceeds the upper limit, the number corresponding to the upper limit is set in the game. Determined as the number of medals to be paid out.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the payout for the small role is determined by the prescribed insertion number, and when the prescribed insertion number is 3, the bell dividend is set higher than the prescribed insertion number. Dividends for small roles other than Bell are set lower than the specified number of inputs, and if the specified number of inputs is two, the dividends for all small roles including Bell are set to the same number as the specified number of inputs. Yes.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion is performed in which the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state between the normal state, the first bonus establishment state, the second bonus establishment state, the first bonus state, and the second bonus state. Perform migration control processing. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the normal state to the first bonus establishment state or the second bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the normal state, the process proceeds to the first bonus establishment state, and when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the normal state, the second bonus is established. Transition to the state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.2, and the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus ( An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which BB2) is set as a lottery target. In the internal lottery table A, the winning probability of the first big bonus (BB1) is set to about 1/8, and the winning probability of the second big bonus (BB2) is set to about 1 / 2.5. That is, in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed so that the second big bonus (BB2) is won with higher probability than the first big bonus (BB1).

  The first bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the internal lottery. In the first bonus establishment state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 1.5, and the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus are set. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B from which the bonus (BB2) is excluded from the lottery targets. In the internal lottery table B referred to in the first bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. 3, there is no occurrence of losing in the internal lottery, and a small role or replay is always won. .

  In the first bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the first big bonus (BB1) is maintained in the winning state until the first big bonus (BB1) wins, and indicates the first big bonus (BB1) winning form. When the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the first bonus establishment state to the first bonus state.

  The first bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern of the first big bonus (BB1) is displayed on the active line. In the first bonus state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 3, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which all random numbers are associated with a losing (unauthorized). However, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flags for all the small roles are forcibly set to the winning state, and for the first reel R1, the drawing range of the symbols is set to 0 frame to 1 frame, For the two reels R2 and the third reel R3, the drawing range of the symbols is set to 0 to 4 frames, and the reels are controlled to stop. In the first bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state in that the lottery flag of the small role becomes a winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  In the first bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the first bonus state, and medals exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 50) are paid out. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the first bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The second bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the internal lottery. In the second bonus establishment state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, and the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus are set. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C in which the bonus (BB2) is excluded from the lottery is performed. The internal lottery table C referred to in the second bonus establishment state has a lower replay win probability than the internal lottery table B referred to in the first bonus establishment state. It is supposed to be. That is, the second bonus establishment state is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than the first bonus establishment state in that the winning probability of replay is lower than that of the first bonus establishment state.

  Further, in the second bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the second big bonus (BB2) is maintained in the winning state until the second big bonus (BB2) wins, indicating the winning form of the second big bonus (BB2). When the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the second bonus establishment state to the second bonus state.

  The second bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern of the second big bonus (BB2) is displayed on the active line. In the second bonus state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. However, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flags for all the small roles are forcibly set to the winning state, and for the first reel R1, the drawing range of the symbols is set to 0 frame to 1 frame, For the two reels R2 and the third reel R3, the drawing range of the symbols is set to 0 to 4 frames, and the reels are controlled to stop. In the second bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state in that the lottery flag of the small role is in a winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  In the second bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the second bonus state, and medals exceeding a predetermined number (for example, two) are paid out. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the second bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, the number of medal payouts (for example, two) as the end condition for the second bonus state is smaller than the number of medal payouts (for example, 50) as the end condition for the first bonus state. Therefore, the second bonus state ends with a smaller number of games than the first bonus state.

  The effect control means 180 (privilege game execution means) is based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195 and uses the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the sound device 340 (effect device). The control relating to the sound effect performed using the above example is performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in a gaming state, or a display on a liquid crystal display LCD By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 changes the effect state between a plurality of types of effect states including the AT preparation state and the AT state, and the effect state is changed to the assist time state ( (AT state: special effect state), the end condition of the AT state is determined based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198, and the AT state is terminated when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied.

  More specifically, the effect control means 180 performs an AT lottery (predetermined effect lottery) when a cherry is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the first bonus established state, or the second bonus established state. . In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 197, and according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won. In the AT lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either normal winning, special winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the AT lottery is the AT lottery. When the table is associated with the normal winning or the special winning, it is determined that the AT lottery is won. Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the AT ready state based on winning the AT lottery, and sets the effect state to the AT state based on the special replay winning in the AT ready state. Note that an opportunity other than the winning of the cherry (for example, the winning of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) in the normal state) may be separately provided as an AT lottery opportunity.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a given addition value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 based on the winning of the AT lottery. In particular, in this embodiment, the added value is different between the case where the result of the AT lottery is a normal winning and the case where the result is a special winning. For example, if the value corresponding to 100 games is set to “100” and the result of the AT lottery is a special win, the added value is set to “500” as a value corresponding to 500 games, for example. Is done. The added value is not limited to the above example, and can be arbitrarily set. In addition, when a cherry is won in an AT state game, the given added value is added to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198. You may be able to.

  In addition, each time the game in the AT state (assist time game: privilege game) is performed, the effect control means 180 subtracts a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one time from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198. Update the decrement. In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is started from the next game of the game in which the special replay is won in the first bonus establishment state. However, the decrement update of the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 may be started from the next game of the game won in the AT lottery. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the AT condition end condition is satisfied, and the AT flag set in the effect flag storage unit 196 is cleared. Then, control for terminating the AT state is performed. In the present embodiment, when the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the AT state, it is determined that the update interruption condition of the AT end determination counter 198 is satisfied. In this case, the effect state is set to the AT ready state. And the decrement update relating to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is interrupted, and the effect state is returned to the AT state when the gaming state shifts to the first bonus establishment state after the end of the first bonus state. Then, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 198 is resumed, and an undigested game is performed. When the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the AT state, the AT state is ended even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 has not reached the threshold value, and the first big bonus (BB1) The stored value of the AT end determination counter 199 may be reset to an initial value (for example, 0) with winning.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT preparation state or the AT state, the production control means 180 displays a first winning assistance production that informs the pressing order of the stop button and assists the winning of the bell when the batting order bell is won. 330 and the sound apparatus 340 are controlled. Various effects can be adopted as the first winning assistance effect. For example, an effect image for notifying the correct batting order according to the winning batting order bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or according to the winning batting order bell. It is possible to turn on a lamp for notifying the correct hit order, or to output a sound for notifying the correct hit order according to the selected hit order bell from the speaker. Note that in this embodiment, the bell always wins and 15 medals can be obtained when the stop button is pressed along the correct hit order notified in the first prize assisting effect. Can increase the number of medals on hand.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 informs the stop button pressing order and assists the special replay winning when the normal replay and the special replay are selected and won. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the effect. Various effects can be adopted as the second winning assistance effect, for example, a specific batting order (B3 → B1 → B2, B3 → B2 → B1: stop button B3 can be pressed first) that allows a special replay to be awarded. A specific striking order (B3 → B1 → B2, B3 → B2 → B1: order of first pressing the stop button B3) that can display an effect image informing the liquid crystal display LCD or win a special replay. A sound for notifying the specific batting order (B3 → B1 → B2, B3 → B2 → B1: order of first pressing the stop button B3) which can turn on the lamp for informing the player or win a special replay is output from the speaker. You can make it. In the present embodiment, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production state is shifted to the AT state based on the special replay winning, and the AT end determination counter 198 is started to be updated. If the player presses the stop button according to the second prize assisting effect, it is possible to recognize that the counting of the number of games is started when the special replay wins.

  Further, the effect control means 180 is a penalty for generating a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player based on the fact that the second big bonus (BB2) is won when the effect state is not the AT ready state in the second bonus establishment state. Process. That is, in the present embodiment, a penalty is generated for winning the second big bonus (BB2) in a state where the right for assist time gaming has not occurred. In particular, in the present embodiment, as the penalty process, a process of setting the effect state to a penalty state in which execution of the AT lottery is prohibited until a certain number of games (for example, 30 times) is consumed is performed. Specifically, the performance state is set to the penalty state in accordance with the winning of the second big bonus (BB2) when the performance state is not the AT preparation state, and the number of games that becomes the penalty condition end condition in the penalty counter 199 A value (for example, 30) corresponding to (for example, 30 times) is set. In the penalty state, the production control means 180 does not perform the AT lottery even if the cherry is won in the internal lottery, and every time a game in the penalty state is performed, the number of games for one time is determined from the stored value of the penalty counter 199. The decrement is updated by subtracting a value corresponding to (for example, 1), the penalty state is terminated based on the stored value of the penalty counter 199 reaching a predetermined value (for example, 0), and the AT based on the winning of the cherry Allow the lottery to run. It should be noted that the number of games as a penalty condition end condition is not constant, and may be selected from a plurality of types of end conditions by lottery or the like. The termination condition of the penalty state is not limited to the number of games, and may be a predetermined number of winning combinations, a transition to a predetermined gaming state (for example, a transition to a second bonus establishment state), or the like.

  As penalty processing, for example, there are predetermined conditions such as processing for discarding the result of AT lottery until a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as digesting a certain number of games, and digesting a certain number of games even if winning the AT lottery. It is possible to perform processing for suspending the transition to the AT ready state until it is established.

  In other words, in this embodiment, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed when not in the AT ready state, the transition to the AT ready state is made until a predetermined condition is satisfied (until a certain number of games are consumed). Penalties such as losing the opportunity or delaying the transition to the AT ready state occur.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a penalty process for generating a penalty even when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops for the first time in a game in which the effect state is neither the AT ready state nor the AT state.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Method of this embodiment In this embodiment, in the normal state where the prescribed number of insertions is set to three, the first bonus establishment state, and the second bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. In the first bonus state or the second bonus state, the player can increase the number of medals held by the player by paying out 15 medals that are larger than the specified number of insertions. As shown in FIG. 8, since only two medals are paid out regardless of which small combination wins, the number of medals held by the player does not increase or decrease. In the present embodiment, in the first bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table B shown in FIG. Since the replay is won with a high probability, it is difficult for the player to consume the medal, and when the production state is the AT state, the first winning assistance production of the batting order bell By notifying the correct hitting order, the player can increase the number of medals on hand. That is, when an assist time game (a game in the AT state) is performed in the first bonus established state, it is possible to make a situation more advantageous in terms of medal acquisition than in the first bonus state or the second bonus state. It is like that.

  In the present embodiment, in the first bonus established state that shifts with the winning of the first big bonus (BB1), the replay having a higher priority than the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2). The first big bonus (BB1) can not be won unless the small role is always won and the game is won by the cherry and the stop button is pressed at a specific timing to avoid winning the cherry. Yes. Specifically, when winning a replay or batting order bell, as shown in FIG. 5, in any reel, be sure to draw the symbols that make up the winning form of the small role that constitutes the replay or batting order bell on the active line. Therefore, winning of the first big bonus (BB1) is always avoided, and in the case of winning the cherry, as shown in FIG. Since the watermelon symbol “WM” is arranged adjacent to the cherry symbol “CH”, the symbols within 4 frames from the pressed detection position can be drawn on the effective line due to the arrangement of these symbols. In the game where the cherry is won in the bonus establishment state, the replay symbol “RP” of No. 20 is displayed in the first reel except for the pressed detection position displayed in the middle stage of the first reel R1. The "WM" No. 3 of watermelon pattern of R1 is made so that it can not be drawn into the middle of the first reel R1. For this reason, in this embodiment, once the first bonus is established, it is extremely difficult to win the first big bonus (BB1), and the player's operation burden is reduced for a long time. It is possible to stay in the first bonus establishment state. In the present embodiment, when the effect state is set to the AT state in the first bonus establishment state, the player can play an assist time game that can increase the number of medals on hand. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the first bonus establishment state, replay is performed with high probability in the first bonus establishment state by utilizing the fact that the game state does not change unless the first big bonus (BB1) wins. As a result of winning, the assist time game can be started promptly in a situation where the player hardly consumes medals.

  On the other hand, the second bonus establishment state that shifts with the winning of the second big bonus (BB2) is a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is lower than that of the first bonus establishment state, which is disadvantageous for the player. For this reason, if the right to play the assist time game has not occurred, it is possible to stay in the second bonus establishment state for a long time so that the player's medal can be consumed easily. Can greatly change the player's medal consumption and acquisition status. However, in the second bonus establishment state, a loss (unfair election) is more likely to occur in the internal lottery than in the first bonus establishment state. Therefore, if the player presses the stop button at an appropriate timing, the second big bonus (BB2 ) To finish the second bonus establishment state.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the second bonus is established, the player is disadvantageous based on the fact that the second big bonus (BB2) is won in a state where the right for assist time gaming has not occurred. A technique is adopted in which a penalty is generated and execution of the AT lottery is prohibited until a predetermined number of games are consumed as a penalty. Hereinafter, the method of this embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.

  First, as shown in FIG. 10, when a cherry is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S100), it is checked whether or not the production state is set to the penalty state, and if it is not set to the penalty state (step In S101, Y), AT lottery is executed. On the other hand, when the penalty state is set (N in step S101), execution of the AT lottery is avoided.

  When the AT lottery is won (Y in step S102), the effect state is shifted to the AT preparation state. In the present embodiment, the right of assist time game is acquired by winning the AT lottery and the production state shifting to the AT preparation state. In the AT ready state, winning of the second big bonus (BB2) when the gaming state stays in the second bonus established state is permitted, and the gaming state returns to the normal state and the first big in the normal state. The production state is maintained in the AT preparation state until the bonus (BB1) is won and the state shifts to the first bonus establishment state.

  Next, when the state of play is set to the AT ready state, the gaming state shifts to the first bonus establishment state, and when the special replay is won in the first bonus establishment state (Y in step S105), the stage of production is set to AT. The preparation state is shifted to the AT state (step S106). In the present embodiment, when the special replay is won in the AT preparation state, the special replay winning is assisted by performing the second winning auxiliary effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the production state is set to the penalty state, the opportunity for the AT lottery is lost. Specifically, the production state is changed to the penalty state according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Perform the setting process.

  First, when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the second bonus establishment state (Y in step S200), it is checked whether or not the AT preparation state is stayed. If the AT preparation state is not set ( In step S201, Y), it is determined that the second big bonus (BB2) is not permitted, and the effect state is set to the penalty state (step S202). At this time, a value (for example, 30) corresponding to the number of games as a penalty condition end condition is set in the penalty counter 199, and a value corresponding to one game (for example, 1) each time a game in the penalty state is performed. ) Is subtracted from the value of the penalty counter 199, and the penalty state is terminated when the value of the penalty counter 199 reaches a predetermined value (for example, 0) (step S204). In the present embodiment, as described above, there is a penalty that the AT lottery is not performed even if the cherry is won in the internal lottery until the penalty state ends.

  In the present embodiment described above, as the gaming state, a first bonus establishment state that shifts by winning the first big bonus (BB1) and a second bonus establishment state that shifts by winning the second big bonus (BB2). When the AT lottery is won, the assist state game right is generated by shifting the production state to the AT preparation state, and the assist time game right is not generated in the second bonus establishment state. A penalty that is disadvantageous to the player for the winning of 2 big bonus (BB2), and when the right of assist time gaming is generated in the state where the second bonus is established, the second big bonus (BB2) is won. On the other hand, return to the normal state is permitted without incurring a penalty, and the first bonus is achieved with the right to assist time gaming. After the transition to state, so as to perform the assist time game and to shift the performance state to the AT state. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, in the state where the right of assist time gaming has not occurred, the player is given a motivation to prevent the second big bonus (BB2) from winning a prize and the gaming state is changed to the second bonus. It will be possible to remain in the established state.

  In the present embodiment, in the first bonus establishment state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C is performed by referring to the internal lottery table B shown in FIG. The replay win probability is also high. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, the first bonus establishment state can be made more advantageous than the second bonus establishment state due to the difference in the replay winning probability, and the assist time can be obtained in a gaming state advantageous to the player. In the state in which the game is performed and the right for assist time is not generated, the player is informed of the gaming state by utilizing the penalty for winning the second big bonus (BB2) in the second bonus established state. You will be able to remain in a disadvantageous gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, if the first bonus is won in the AT state, the AT state is interrupted. However, in the first bonus establishment state, a small role having a higher priority than the first big bonus (BB1) The first big bonus (BB1) cannot be won unless the replay is always won and the stop button is not pressed in a specific manner at the time of winning the cherry. For this reason, once shifting to the first bonus establishment state, the player can easily avoid the first big bonus (BB1) and maintain the gaming state for a long time. In this embodiment, since the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2) are won independently in the normal state, the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2) The amount excluded as the lottery object can be allocated to the replay win in the first bonus establishment state.

  In the present embodiment, in the normal state where the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A shown in FIG. 3 is performed, the winning probability of the second big bonus (BB2) is higher than the winning probability of the first big bonus (BB1). It is high. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, it is easier to shift from the normal state to the second bonus establishment state that is disadvantageous to the player than the first bonus establishment state in which the assist time game is performed. For this reason, in a state where the right of the assist time game is not generated, such as after the end of the assist time game, it is possible to quickly shift from the normal state to the second bonus establishment state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the first bonus state and the second bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition for each bonus state is established by accumulating the number of medals paid out, and becomes the end condition for the second bonus state. The number of medals to be paid out is smaller than the number of medals to be paid out as the end condition of the first bonus state. For example, if the number of medals paid out as the end condition of the first bonus state is 50 and the number of medals paid out as the end condition of the second bonus state is 2, the payouts of all small roles in each bonus state Is set to two, the first bonus state requires about 25 games to end, the second bonus state requires about two games to end, and the second bonus state Can be consumed with fewer games than in the first bonus state. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, after the assist time game right is generated in the second bonus established state, the second bonus state is quickly digested to return to the normal state and the first bonus established state is achieved. You will have the opportunity to transition.

  In the present embodiment, bells, special small roles A1, special small roles A2, special small roles B, and special small roles C are prepared as the small roles that are constituent elements of the batting order bell. In the combination B and the special small combination C, the combination of the combination according to the timing of pressing the stop button does not occur. However, in the case of the special small combination A1 and the special small combination A2, if the stop operation timing is not appropriate, the combination is generated. It is like that. In the present embodiment, the batting order bell C1, the batting order bell C2, and the batting order including the bell, one of the special small part A1 or the special small part A2, and either the special small part B or the special small part C. When the bell R1 or the batting order bell R2 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the winning of the bell with higher payout than the special small role is given priority, and the stop button B1 is arranged in the incorrect batting order. When .about.B3 is pressed, the special prize winning with a lower payout than the bell is given priority. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the first reel R1 stops in the incorrect answering order, the symbols constituting the special small combination A1 and the special small combination A2 that can be missed are given priority. Is displayed in order of priority, and the symbols constituting the special winning combination B and special winning combination C that are not overwritten when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops first are given priority. To be displayed. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the winning order bell C1, the hitting order bell C2, the hitting order bell R1, or the hitting order bell R2 is won, in the correct answer hit order, the bell always wins and many medals can be obtained. In the incorrect answering order, fewer medals can be obtained than in the correct answer order, or a medal is lost and no medal can be obtained. As described above, in this embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out can be changed in accordance with the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. However, in the incorrect answering order, no combination may be won. Therefore, the change in the medal acquisition status can be increased, and even if the order is incorrect, the type of symbol to be pulled in changes according to the type of reel that stops first, so the reel stops Variations of the embodiment can also be abundant.

  In the present embodiment, two types of symbol combinations indicating the winning styles of the special small role A1 and the special small role A2 are prepared, which is larger than the types (1 type) of the symbol combinations indicating the winning style of the bell. In addition, there are four types of symbol combinations showing the winning styles of special small roles B and C, which is more than the number of symbol combinations (1 type) indicating the winning style of the bell. If the result is any one of the batting order bell C1, batting order bell C2, batting order bell R1, or batting order bell R2, the correct answer batting order gives priority to the stop position where the number of medals to be paid out due to the winning of a small role is given priority. In the batting order, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined giving priority to the stop position where the types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line increase. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell C1, the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, or the batting order bell R2 is won, in the correct batting order, the special small combination A1, the special small combination A2, and the special small combination The symbols constituting the bell winning form in which the number of medals to be paid out in relation to the winning combination is more preferentially displayed than the combination B and the special small combination C, and in the incorrect answering order, the symbol indicating the winning form is displayed over the bell. The symbols constituting the winning styles of special small combination A1 and special small combination A2, special small combination B, and special small combination C having many combinations are displayed preferentially.

  In the present embodiment, the Bell winning form and the special small part B winning form are allotted a common symbol for the second reel R2, and the Bell winning form and the special small part C winning form are: A common symbol is assigned to the third reel R3. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the batting order bell C1 or the batting order bell C2 is won, the types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line at the stop position where the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the second reel R2 are increased. The number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line at the stop position where the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the third reel R3 when the hitting bell R1 or the hitting bell R2 is won can be increased. For this reason, when the batting order bell C1 or the batting order bell C2 is won, when the second reel R2 stops for the first time, the payout relationship between the special small combination A1 or special small combination A2 and the special small combination B is related. By displaying a common bell symbol “BL” for the bell and the special small role B, there is a possibility of winning the special small role B, and the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order in the reels that stop after the second are displayed. The stop position can be determined so as to diverge, and when the third order reel R3 stops for the first time when the batting order bell R1 or the batting order bell R2 is won, the special small part A1 or special small part A2 payout and special Regardless of the size relationship of the payroll of the small role C, the bell symbol “BL” common to the bell and the special small role C is displayed to leave the possibility of winning the special small role C, and stop after the second. Correct answer order and incorrect answer on reel Doo comes to be able to determine the stop position to branch.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the AT state, the first winning assistance effect for notifying the correct batting order is executed when the result of the internal lottery is the winning of the batting order bell. When the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops for the first time in a game that is not in the state, a penalty that makes it difficult for the effect state to shift to the AT state is generated. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player the motivation to first press the first reel R1 to avoid the penalty when the production state is not the AT state, and the batting order bell C1, When the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, or the batting order bell R2 is won, a game may be missed if the first reel R1 stops for the first time in the incorrect answer batting order. It is possible to generate a situation where it is difficult for a person to acquire a medal, and it is possible to make a large difference in the medal acquisition situation depending on whether or not the production state is the AT state.

  Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, five types of batting order bells are provided. However, when the batting order bell L is won, there is no occurrence of missing a role in either the correct answer order or the incorrect answer order. The bell always wins when the first reel R1 stops for the first time. For this reason, when the first reel R1 is stopped while providing a correct batting order in which the bells win for the pressing order of all the stop buttons, the batting order bell C1, the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, and the batting order bell R2 Thus, it is possible to provide a game that can cause a missing role.

  Traditionally, when multiple types of small roles with different payouts are selected and won, the small number with the highest payout is won in the correct answer order, and the small number with the lower payout is awarded in the incorrect order. There is known a control that causes a difference in the number of medals acquired between the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order, but in such a control, a medal can always be acquired in either the correct answer order or the incorrect answer order. There is a point that it is difficult to consume medals when not in the AT state. For this reason, in the above-described conventional control, it has been impossible to provide a large difference in the medal acquisition status between the case of the AT state and the case of not being the AT state.

  Further, in the gaming machine as in the present embodiment, due to the relationship between the arrangement of the start lever SL and the stop buttons B1 to B3, the game in which the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed in order from the stop button B1 after the start lever SL is pressed. The method is routinely performed. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the batting order bell L is kept lower than the winning probabilities of the batting order bell C1, the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, and the batting order bell R2. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to acquire a medal when the stop button B1 is first pressed by making it difficult to generate the case where the order of pressing the stop button B1 first becomes the correct answer order. However, providing such a difference in winning probability increases the possibility that the correct hit order will be higher when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first than when the stop button B1 is pressed first. When the player is not in the AT state, a strategy element for selecting a game method for suppressing the consumption of medals by first pressing the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 occurs.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed in a game that is not in the AT state, the transition to the game section where the medal can be easily obtained is made difficult by shifting to the AT state. The impeding penalty is given to give the player a motivation to first press the stop button B1. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the stop button B1 is first pressed, the probability that the correct answer hit order is reduced is suppressed, and when the stop button B1 is pressed first, there may be a case where the missed order occurs. Considering that it is difficult to obtain medals, there is a difference in the number of medals obtained between the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order as in the past, but compared to the case where control is performed so that medals can always be acquired in either order. The medal can be easily consumed when not in the state, and the correct hit order can be notified in the AT state and the bell can be reliably won, so that the medal in the AT state and the non-AT state can be won. A big difference can be made in the acquisition situation.

  In addition, in a gaming machine called a slot machine like the game of this embodiment, the medal acquisition ratio in the bonus state is set so as to prevent the shooting performance from being significantly increased due to the medal acquisition performance being biased toward the bonus state. There is a social demand to limit it within a certain range.

  In the present embodiment, the first bonus state is achieved by lowering the payout of the small combination in the first bonus state or the second bonus state to be lower than the other gaming states, and further making the payout of the small combination equal to the prescribed number of throws. And the medal acquisition rate in the second bonus state can be kept lower than the bonus state used in the conventional gaming machine, and the medal acquisition rate throughout the gaming state is too high, so the shooters are angry It is possible to set a small winning combination winning probability in the normal state, the first bonus established state, and the second bonus established state without scolding, and improve the medal acquisition rate in the game in the AT state.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, there is a case where a difference is established in the winning probability of replay between the first bonus establishment state and the second bonus establishment state, and the first bonus establishment state is set as a gaming state that is more advantageous than the second bonus establishment state. As an example, in the first bonus establishment state, if the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the bell is set by determining the stop position so that the number of medals to be paid out increases in the correct batting order (specific order). Stop spinning the reels so that you can win and avoid the bell win by determining the stop position so that there are more kinds of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line in the incorrect answer order When the spinning reel is stopped and the 2nd bonus is established, the effective light is activated regardless of the order of pressing the stop button when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery. Always rotating reel to avoid winning of the bell by determining a stop position so kind increases displayable symbol combination on may be stopped.

  In this way, the first bonus establishment state can be changed to a gaming state that is more advantageous than the second bonus establishment state depending on whether or not a bell can be won at the time of winning the batting order bell. Assist time game is performed based on the game state advantageous to the player, and a penalty is given for winning the second big bonus (BB2) when the right of assist time game is not generated Using this, it is possible to keep the gaming state in the second bonus establishment state, which is a disadvantageous gaming state for the player. In this case, the replay may be won with a higher probability in the first bonus establishment state than in the second bonus establishment state, and the winning probabilities of the replay in the first bonus establishment state and the second bonus establishment state are determined. The replay may be set with a higher probability in the second bonus establishment state than in the first bonus establishment state if they are slightly different.

  Also, in the above embodiment, when winning the winning order bell, the bell can be won in the correct answer order, and the stop position is determined so that the winning of the bell is avoided in the incorrect answer order. However, the predetermined small role wins in both the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order, but the stop position is determined so that the predetermined small part is awarded in more active lines than the incorrect answer order. In addition, it is possible to provide a winning combination mode for a small role that causes a difference in the number of medals to be paid out between the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order.

  In the above embodiment, the first big bonus (BB1) can be won only when the replay or small role is always won in the state where the first bonus is established and the stop button is pressed in a specific manner at the time of winning the cherry. As an example, in the normal state, the first bonus establishment state, and the second bonus establishment state, the prescribed insertion number is 3 (first insertion number) and 2 (second insertion number). Can be selected, and in the first bonus state and the second bonus state, the prescribed number of insertions is set to only two, and in the first bonus establishment state, if the prescribed number of insertions is three, the loss (unfair election) An internal lottery will be performed so that either a small role or a replay will always win without being generated, and if the specified number of inputs is two, neither a small role nor a replay will win. When the result of the internal lottery is lost in the first bonus establishment state, the first big bonus (BB1) can be won based on the fact that only the first big bonus (BB1) is won. May be. In this case, it is preferable that the winning of the first big bonus (BB1) is always avoided when a small role or replay is won in the state where the first bonus is established. Also, in the first bonus establishment state, if at least three medals are inserted (the first insertion number), if the replay is won with higher probability than the normal state or the second bonus establishment state, Well, when the number of inserted medals is 2 (second inserted number), the replay is won with the same probability as the normal state or the second bonus establishment state, or lower than the normal state or the second bonus establishment state. An internal lottery may be performed so that a replay is won with a probability.

  In this way, when three medals are inserted, in the first bonus establishment state, a replay or small role in which the winning is given priority over the first big bonus (BB1) is always won and the first bonus is established. Opportunity for the player to maintain the state is greatly reduced, and when two medals are inserted, an opportunity to win the first big bonus (BB1) easily because an internal lottery may cause a loss. Can be easily obtained. That is, the player can determine whether or not to maintain the first bonus establishment state simply by selecting the number of medals inserted.

  In the normal state, the first bonus establishment state, and the second bonus establishment state, three (first insertion number) and one (third insertion number) can be selected as the prescribed insertion number. In the bonus state and the second bonus state, the prescribed number of insertions is set to only two (second number of insertions), and in the first bonus establishment state, a loss (unfair election) occurs when the prescribed number of insertions is three. The first bonus is given by an internal lottery so that either a small role or a replay will always win and there will be a chance that a small role or replay will not win if the specified number of throws is one. When the result of the internal lottery is lost in the established state, the first big bonus (BB1) may be awarded based on the fact that only the first big bonus (BB1) is won.In this case, it is preferable that the winning of the first big bonus (BB1) is always avoided when a small role or replay is won in the state where the first bonus is established. Also, in the first bonus establishment state, if at least three medals are inserted (the first insertion number), if the replay is won with higher probability than the normal state or the second bonus establishment state, Often, when the number of inserted medals is one (third inserted number), the replay is won with the same probability as the normal state or the second bonus establishment state, or lower than the normal state or the second bonus establishment state. An internal lottery may be performed so that a replay is won with a probability.

  Even in this case, when three medals are inserted, the first bonus is established when the first bonus is established and a replay or small role that wins higher priority than the first big bonus (BB1) is always won. Opportunity for the player to maintain the state is greatly reduced, and when a single medal is inserted, an opportunity to win the first big bonus (BB1) easily because a loss may occur in the internal lottery Can be easily obtained. That is, the player can determine whether or not to maintain the first bonus establishment state simply by selecting the number of medals inserted. In the normal state, the first bonus establishment state, and the second bonus establishment state, the prescribed number of insertions is set to be selectable from three types of one, two, and three, and the first bonus state and the second bonus state Then, the specified number of insertions may be set to only two.

  Further, as in the above embodiment, the first big bonus (BB1) cannot be won while avoiding the winning of the small role unless the stop button B1 is pressed at a specific timing in the state where the first bonus is established. Instead, when a predetermined small role is elected in the state where the first bonus is established, winning of the small role is avoided by the pressing order of the stop button, and the first big bonus (BB1) can be won. May be. For example, if the symbol combination displayed when the special small role A1 or special small role A2 is missed at the time of winning the batting order bell is set as a symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first big bonus (BB1), the batting order bell C1, The first big bonus (BB1) is awarded when the special small role A1 or special small role A2 is missed by first pressing the stop button B1 when the batting order bell C2, the batting order bell R1, or the batting order bell R2 is won. You may make it do. For example, in the above embodiment, the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern of the first big bonus (BB1) is “WM, BAR, CH”, but the first combination is designated as “WM, BAR, BAR”. If the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed along the batting order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1) shown in FIG. 6 when the batting order bell C2 is won in the bonus establishment state, the second reel R3 is stopped and the second reel R3 is stopped. Since the BAR symbol “BAR” is preferentially drawn onto the active line when the reel R2 is stopped, only the first big bonus (BB1) of the winning combination can be formed. When the first reel R1 is stopped, the first big bonus (BB1) can be won by aiming at the BAR symbol “BAR”.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the replay or the small role is always won is described as an example in which the loss does not occur in the first bonus establishment state, but an extremely low probability (for example, in the first bonus establishment state (for example, , 1/65536), the first big bonus (BB1) may be awarded only when a loss (unauthorized) occurs and the result of the internal lottery is a loss.

  In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the payouts of all small roles are set to the same number as the prescribed number of insertions (2) in the first bonus state and the second bonus state. In the bonus state, it is sufficient that the payouts of all small roles are set to be equal to or less than the specified number of inputs, and the payouts of some small roles are lower than the specified input numbers in the first bonus state and the second bonus state. Alternatively, the payouts of all small roles may be lower than the prescribed number of inputs.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when a part of a plurality of small combinations (for example, cherry) is won in the state where the first bonus is established, the first big bonus (BB1) is lost by losing the small combination. ) Has been explained, but when a small role is won in the first bonus established state, winning of the first big bonus (BB1) is avoided regardless of the type of the selected small role. You may be made to do. Further, not only in the first bonus establishment state but also in the second bonus establishment state, when a small combination is won, the winning of the second big bonus (BB2) is avoided regardless of the type of the selected small combination. May be. For example, in the embodiment described above, cherry is set as a lottery subject as a small role, but if this is excluded from the lottery subject, the first big bonus (BB1) is related to the type of the selected small role. Without winning a prize. As for the second big bonus (BB2), not only the cherry is excluded from the lottery object but also the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the second big bonus (BB2) is changed from “BAR / BAR / BAR” to “BAR / BAR / CH”. If the third reel R3 is stopped for the first time when the batting order bell C2 is won, the winning combination of the small part included in the batting order bell C2 is configured rather than displaying the cherry symbol “CH” on the active line. The number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line increases when the symbol to be displayed is displayed, and as a result, the winning of the second big bonus (BB2) is avoided regardless of the winning role in any winning mode. Will be able to. In other words, in the first bonus establishment state or the second bonus establishment state, the winning of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is avoided regardless of which of the small role and the replay is won. Good. In this way, it is possible to significantly reduce the player's operational burden for maintaining each bonus establishment state.

  In the above embodiment, the replay is excluded from the internal lottery in the first bonus state and the second bonus state. However, the replay may be the internal lottery in the first bonus state and the second bonus state. Further, when the lottery flag for the small role is forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery as in the above embodiment, both the replay and the small role are performed in the first bonus state and the second bonus state. Although a situation in which a winning state occurs, the symbol may be drawn on the active line so that even if the replay is won, the small role is won in preference to the replay. In addition, when replay is a lottery target in the first bonus state or the second bonus state, the AT lottery may be performed only when the replay is won in each bonus state.

  Further, as a modification of the above-described embodiment, a mode in which no penalty is generated even when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in a state where the right of assist time gaming has not occurred in the second bonus establishment state may be adopted. . That is, if the first bonus establishment state is an advantageous gaming state over the second bonus establishment state and the right for assist time gaming has not occurred, the winning assistance effect is not performed at the time of winning the batting order bell. Can no longer be easily won, and after the right to assist time gaming has occurred, assist time gaming is performed in the first bonus establishment state to increase the winning rate of the bell so that medals can be easily obtained. It may be. By providing multiple types of bonuses in this way and providing a difference in the degree of advantage between the bonus establishment states associated with the winning of each bonus, the consumption of medals according to the type of bonus establishment state that is staying Game specifications that affect the situation can be realized.
