Special game state continuation means 390, if the number of pieces determination means 370 determines that the maximum number of acquired pieces has reached the predetermined number of pieces, the special game state is made to start again after the special game state ends because a continuation condition is met. In a case where, as a result of game which is in the special game state, a specific number of acquired pieces is equal to the maximum number of acquired pieces or more while the maximum acquired number of pieces is less than a predetermined number of pieces, the special game state ends in the game. In a case where, as a result of game during special game state, the specific number of acquired pieces is equal to the maximum number of acquired pieces or more while the maximum number of acquired pieces is equal to the predetermined number of pieces or more, the special game state is started again after the special game state ends.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can variously change the end state of a special gaming state and increase the interest of the special gaming state.

  Usually, a gaming machine such as a slot machine draws whether or not a predetermined combination is won, and as a result of the lottery, after winning a predetermined combination, the winning combination of symbols is stopped at a predetermined position. Thus, a medal that gives a predetermined profit to the player is paid out.

  In a conventional slot machine, there are a normal gaming state that is normally performed as a gaming state and a special gaming state in which there is a high possibility that a profit (privilege) given to the player is greater than that in the normal gaming state. As the number of games in this special game state increases, the profit (privilege) that can be given to the player increases. In some conventional slot machines, the number of games (privileges) in a special gaming state is set to 30 times, 50 times, or the like by lottery using random numbers (Patent Document 1, FIG. 7). Since a privilege is only given once, there is no interest, and in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of games in the special game state one or more times (addition) to enhance the interest. . Furthermore, there is one that changes the number of extra games (privileges) depending on the type of winning combination (Patent Document 2, FIG. 23, paragraph number “0010”).

(Claim 1)
According to the first aspect of the present invention, there are provided a plurality of reels 62 each having a plurality of symbols attached to the periphery, and a stop for stopping the rotation of the reel 62 by an operation provided corresponding to each of the plurality of reels 62. A switch 50 and a role lottery means 130 for performing a lottery for winning or losing one of a plurality of roles, and the rotation of the reel 62 based on the result of the role lottery and the stop operation of the stop switch 50 Is a gaming machine 10 that determines whether or not the combination of symbols related to the winning combination is aligned on an effective line, and grants a predetermined profit according to the result of the determination, As the gaming state, there are provided a normal gaming state in which a normal game (hereinafter referred to as “normal game”) is performed, and a special gaming state in which a special game capable of giving more profit than the normal game is performed, The special game Specific number calculation means 350 for calculating a predetermined number of medals (hereinafter referred to as “specific acquisition number”) that is added in accordance with the result of the game in the game, and the maximum number that can be acquired in the special game state Maximum number calculation means 360 for calculating the number of medals (hereinafter referred to as “maximum acquisition number”), number determination means 370 for determining whether or not the specific acquisition number has reached the maximum acquisition number, and the number When the determination means 370 determines that the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number, the special gaming state ending means 380 that ends the special gaming state, and a predetermined continuation condition is established in the special gaming state Special game state continuation means 390 for starting the special game state again after the special game state is ended when the special game state is determined, and the maximum number calculating means 360 has a predetermined condition in the special game state. Full The maximum acquired number is added, the number determination means 370 determines whether the maximum acquired number has reached a predetermined predetermined number, the special gaming state continuation means 390, If it is determined by the number determination means 370 that the maximum acquired number has reached the specified number, the special game state is started again after the special game state is ended, assuming that the continuation condition is satisfied, and the special game state is As a result of the game in the gaming state, when the specific acquisition number is not less than the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is less than the specified number, the special gaming state is terminated in the game, As a result of the game in the special game state, if the specific acquisition number is equal to or greater than the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is equal to or more than the specified number, the special game state is again performed after the end of the special game state. Wherein the special gaming state is started.

During the special game state, the specific acquired number is added by the specific number calculating unit 350, and the maximum acquired number is added by the maximum number calculating unit 360. As a result of the game in the special game state, when the specific acquisition number is equal to or greater than the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is less than the specified number, the special game state is terminated in the game. As a result of the game in the special game state, when the specific acquisition number is equal to or greater than the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is equal to or more than the specified number, the special game state is started again after the special game state is ended. In other words, during the special gaming state, while the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are added respectively, the timing at which the maximum acquisition number reaches the specified number is early, or the timing at which the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number is early. It is determined whether the special gaming state is ended or the special gaming state is started again after the timing is reached. Thereby, the end mode of the special game state can be changed to various modes, the game property can be changed, and the interest can be increased.
Here, the “special game state” includes an assist replay time game state (ART game state) in which a so-called assist replay time game (ART game) is performed, and an assist time game in which an assist time game (AT game) is performed. A state (AT game state), a replay time game state (RT game state) in which a replay time game (RT game) is performed, and the like are included.

Here, in order to “start the special game state again after the special game state is finished”, the special game state is once ended, and the numerical value of the specific acquisition number or the maximum acquisition number used in the special game state is set. This includes starting a new special gaming state after resetting to the initial value 0.
Here, “the maximum number calculating means adds the maximum acquired number when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the special gaming state,” is referred to as “special gaming state”. It is not limited to “state” alone. For example, instead of the “special gaming state”, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the “normal gaming state”, it may be added to the maximum acquired number of coins, or in the “normal gaming state or special gaming state” It is also possible to make addition possible.
“Continuation condition is satisfied” means that the continuation condition is not satisfied for the first time when the maximum number of acquired sheets reaches the specified number, but the continuation condition has already been satisfied by another trigger. This includes those where the continuation condition is maintained when the number of acquired sheets reaches the specified number.
(Claim 2)
The invention described in claim 2 is characterized by the following points in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 1 described above. That is, it is characterized in that a notification means 70 for notifying the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is provided.

In the present invention, when the maximum acquisition number reaches the specified number before the specific acquisition number, it is determined that the specific acquisition number will reach the specified number before reaching the maximum acquisition number substantially in the future.
The notification means 70 notifies the player of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number, so that the specific acquisition number reaches the specified number in the future before the specific acquisition number reaches the specified number in the future. After the end, it is possible to make the player recognize again that the special gaming state is surely started.
Specifically, for example, when the specified number of sheets is set to 500, the specific number of acquired sheets is 492, and the maximum number of acquired sheets is 496, the extra lottery executed during the special game state is won, When the additional number of 30 is acquired, the specific acquired number is maintained at 492, and the maximum acquired number is 526. At this time, the special game state does not end because the specific acquisition number has not reached the maximum acquisition number, but when the special game state ends, the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number, and as a result, the specific acquisition number Will reach the prescribed number of 500.

(Claim 3)
The invention described in claim 3 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 2 described above. That is, after the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number have reached the specified number, the special gaming state is continued until the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number, and the notification means 70 When the specific acquired number is not equal to or greater than the maximum acquired number, the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number are notified even after the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number reach the specified number.

In the present invention, after the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number reach the specified number, the specific acquisition number may reach the maximum acquisition number. When the specific acquired number is not equal to or greater than the maximum acquired number, the information about the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number is continuously notified to the player by the notification means 70 even after the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number reach the specified number. Thereby, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize the gaming state until the end of the special gaming state.
Specifically, for example, when the specified number of sheets is set to 500, the specific number of acquired sheets is 492, and the maximum number of acquired sheets is 496, the extra lottery executed during the special game state is won, When the additional number of 30 is acquired, the specific acquired number is maintained at 492, and the maximum acquired number is 526. After that, after winning a predetermined combination and adding 11 to the specific number of acquisitions, the specific acquisition number becomes 503, and the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number reach the prescribed number of 500. However, the special game state has not ended because the specific acquired number is not more than the maximum acquired number. Even in such a state, the notification means 70 continues to notify the player of information relating to the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number.

(Claim 4)
The invention described in claim 4 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 1, 2 or 3. That is, according to the result of a predetermined game in the special gaming state, the specific number calculation means 350 adds to the specific acquisition number, and the maximum number calculation means 360 adds to the maximum acquisition number. And

When the predetermined number is added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number according to the result of the predetermined game in the special game state, the specific acquired number does not reach the maximum acquired number in the game. That is, it is possible to intentionally avoid the special game state from being ended by obtaining a predetermined game result in the special game state.
Here, the “predetermined game result” specifically includes, for example, “a combination of symbols relating to a predetermined predetermined role being aligned on an effective line” and the like. In this case, it is possible to continue the special game without ending the special game state while acquiring a game (for example, paying out medals) due to establishment of a predetermined combination.

(Claim 5)
The invention described in claim 5 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 1, 2, 3 or 4. That is, as the combination, there are provided a plurality of small combinations with medal payout when the combinations of symbols related to the combination are aligned on an effective line, and the small combination has a lottery probability of the combination lottery. If the combination of symbols related to the special small role is aligned on an effective line in the game in the special gaming state, the specific number calculating means 350 The predetermined number is added to the specific acquired number, and the maximum number calculating means 360 adds the predetermined number to the maximum acquired number.

When the combination of symbols relating to the special small combination (so-called rare combination) is aligned on the effective line as a result of the combination lottery, the specific number calculation means 350 adds the predetermined number to the specific acquisition number and the maximum number calculation means 360. Adds a predetermined number to the maximum number obtained. When the same predetermined number is added to both, the specific acquired number reaches the maximum acquired number and the special gaming state does not end. Even if the combination of symbols related to special small roles that are difficult to be established is low compared to other small roles, the special gaming state ends in the game, and after that, It is possible to avoid a situation in which the special gaming state of is not started.
In other words, the special gaming state will be terminated before the specified number is reached, even though a special small role that is rarely won will be elected or a special small role will be won with care not to miss it. It can be avoided. Thereby, maintenance of interest can be aimed at.
Here, the “special small role whose drawing probability of the combination lottery is lower than the lottery probability of other small roles” means a so-called rare role that has a low lottery probability compared to other small roles. Here, instead of such special small roles, there is a possibility that the combination of symbols related to the winning combination will be aligned on an effective line even though the player has won due to the symbol arrangement on the reel 62, etc. You may make it a role with a high risk of missing, so-called difficult to establish, compared with other roles.

(Claim 6)
The invention described in claim 6 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. That is, a specific gaming state that is started by a predetermined trigger during the special gaming state and a non-specific gaming state that is a state other than the specific gaming state during the special gaming state are provided, and the special gaming state When the combination of symbols related to the winning combination is aligned on an effective line, in the non-specific game state, the specific number calculation means 350 adds to the specific acquisition number and the maximum number calculation means 360 Maintaining the maximum acquired number as it is without adding to the acquired number, and in the specific gaming state, the specific number calculating means 350 adds a predetermined number to the specific acquired number and the maximum number calculating means 360 is the maximum number A predetermined number is added to the acquired number.

When the combination of symbols related to the winning combination in the non-specific game state in the special game state is aligned on an effective line, it is added only to the specific acquired number. On the other hand, when the combination of symbols related to the winning combination in the special game state in the special game state is aligned on an effective line, it is added to both the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number. That is, when a transition is made from the non-specific game state to the specific game state during the special game state, the addition is made from the addition of the specific acquisition number to the addition of both the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number. By such addition during the specific game state, it is possible to prevent the special game state from being terminated due to the specific acquired number reaching the maximum acquired number in the game. That is, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the special game state is ended in the middle of the specific game state and the special game state is not resumed thereafter. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the player becomes disadvantageous due to the transition to the specific game state during the special game state, and the interest is not lost.
Here, in the “specific game state in the special game state”, for example, the profit (maximum number obtained) given to the player during the assist replay time game state (ART game state) is relatively high probability. A so-called additional zone (special mode gaming state) for adding is included.

(Claim 7)
The invention described in claim 7 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. That is, it has an addition lottery means 400 for determining whether to add to the maximum acquired number of sheets and the number of additions by lottery. In this case, the maximum number calculating unit 360 adds the predetermined number to the maximum acquired number, and the specific number calculating unit 350 maintains the specific number without adding to the specific acquired number.

  When the addition lottery means 400 decides to add a predetermined number to the maximum acquired number based on the lottery result, the maximum number calculating means 360 adds the predetermined number to the maximum acquired number and the specific number calculating means 350 sets the specific acquired number to the specific acquired number. Keep as it is without adding. This makes it possible to bring only the maximum acquired number close to the specified number without increasing the specific acquired number, increase the difference between the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number, and the specific acquired number reaches the maximum acquired number. Can be avoided. As a result, it can be in an advantageous state that is beneficial to the player.

(Claim 8)
The invention described in claim 8 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 7. That is, the addition to at least one of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number based on the result lottery result of the combination lottery means 130, and the addition to the maximum acquisition number based on the lottery result of the extra lottery means 400 Both can be executed in one game

In the present invention, both the addition to at least one of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number based on the result lottery result of the combination lottery means 130 and the addition to the maximum acquisition number based on the lottery result of the extra lottery means 400, It can be executed in one game. For this reason, in one game, the addition process is performed at the two occasions of the extra lottery and the role lottery. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the fun and excitement of the addition multiple times in one game.
Specifically, for example, it is assumed that an extra lottery executed by operating the start switch 40 at the start of a special game is won (N pieces are acquired), and then a bell role is established and M pieces are acquired. In this case, the number (N) to be added to the maximum acquired number is acquired when the game starts, and the number (M) to be added to the specific acquired number is acquired when the game is ended.
Further, for example, it is assumed that an extra lottery executed by operation of the start switch 40 at the start of a special game is won (N sheets are acquired), and then a watermelon role is established and L sheets are acquired. In this case, the number (N) that is added to the maximum acquired number at the start of the game is acquired, and the number (L) that is added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number at the end of the game. ).
In other words, in the present invention, in one special game, the timing at which the number of specific additions and the maximum number of acquisitions can be acquired is not limited to once, but can be acquired at multiple times. With a smaller number of games, a larger number can be added to the specific number and the maximum number of games, and the progress of the game can be accelerated.
In addition, when acquiring the “number” at a plurality of times, the number may be added to the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number every time it is acquired, and when the game ends, the specific acquisition number and The number may be added to the maximum number obtained. Similarly, when the acquired “number of sheets” is displayed by the notification means 70, the number of displayed sheets may be updated every time it is acquired, or the number of displayed sheets may be updated collectively when the game is ended.

Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exists an effect as described below.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing the interest of the special gaming state in various modes.

The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment enables a game to be started by inserting a predetermined number of medals by operating the max bet switch 34 or the like or by inserting medals. Then, when the start switch 40 is pressed, the reel 62 starts to rotate, and the game is started. Then, the gaming machine 10 stops the rotation of the reel 62 to match the result of the winning lottery based on the operation timing of the stop switch 50 corresponding to each reel 62 and the winning lottery result. The gaming machine 10 has a predetermined profit when the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination is a predetermined effective line (a combination of symbols of a predetermined combination is aligned on the line). This is a line to be awarded, and is hereinafter referred to as an active line 86.) When it is stopped on the display, a prize is awarded and a predetermined profit such as paying out a predetermined number of medals is given to the player. As a result, one game is completed.
The “effective line 86” means a line to be determined by the stop symbol determining means 150 described later, and a “winning” of a small role described later indicates that a combination of symbols corresponding to the role is aligned on the effective line 86. means. The effective line 86 of the present embodiment is composed of only one connecting the middle stages of the reels 62.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a control device 100 for controlling the overall operation of the gaming machine 10 is formed inside the gaming machine 10. The control device 100 produces a main control unit 110 that controls the game state by advancing the game, and an effect for receiving a signal from the main control unit 110 and informing the player of information related to the game content. And a sub-control unit 300 that controls the state. The main control unit 110 performs the lottery and controls the operations of the reel unit 60 and the storage / dispensing means 24. The sub-control unit 300 receives a signal from the main control unit 110 and controls the operation of the notification unit 70 such as the display unit 84. On the output side of the sub-control unit 300, the speaker 72 as the notification means 70, the display means 84, and the production lamp 78 are connected. Here, the display means 84 can notify the player of a specific acquired number and a maximum acquired number, which will be described later.

The CPU has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and executes various programs by executing a program stored in the ROM. The ROM stores fixed data such as programs executed by the CPU and various tables, and the RAM stores temporary storage areas when the CPU executes programs, for example, storage areas for storing the state of gaming machines. It is also used as a storage area for storing the lottery result of the role lottery.
The main control unit 110 includes each means of a game control means 120, a role lottery means 130, a stop control means 140, a stop symbol determination means 150, and a main side privilege grant means 160 (privilege grant means 320). Details of each means will be described later.
With the above configuration, the main control unit 110 functions as a means for performing a lottery of a combination, controlling the rotation and stop of the reel 62, performing stop symbol determination when all the reels 62 are stopped, and progressing the game. It will be.

Further, the sub-control unit 300 includes an effect control means 310, a sub-side privilege grant means 330 (privilege grant means 320), an effect device drive means 340, a number calculation means 345 (a specific number calculation means 350, a maximum number calculation means 360). , Number determination means 370, special game state end means 380, special game state continuation means 390, extra lottery means 390, special game state lottery means 410, special game state continuation lottery means 415, special game state stock means 420, sub game state Each unit includes a control unit 430 and an acquired number management table storage unit 440. Details of each means will be described later.
With the above configuration, the sub-control unit 300 functions as a means for determining the presence / absence and mode of an effect and controlling the effect according to the state of the game.

The game control means 120 is for controlling a game and for executing a main game. Hereinafter, the game in the present embodiment will be described.
When the specified number of bets (three) is set, one active line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set. In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, 3 is set as the prescribed bet number. As a method for setting the bet number, there are a method for inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method for setting a credit medal as a bet number by operating the single bet switch 32 or the maximum bet switch 34. Then, if the start switch 40 is operated on condition that the prescribed bet number (three) is set, the bet number is fixed and either of a plurality of combinations is won by the combination lottery means 130 or A lottery lottery (role drawing) is performed. At almost the same time as the lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the rotation of the reel 62 in the previous game. After a lapse, all three reels 62 start to rotate.

In the present embodiment, when a role is roughly classified, a small role (a role accompanied by paying out medals), a re-playing role (a role that can start the next game without using a medal owned by the player, so-called replay) Role) and special role (a role that accompanies a game state transition).
On the surface of the left reel 64, the middle reel 66 and the right reel 68, as shown in FIG. 3, a red 7 pattern (a pattern in which 7 is drawn in red) and a blue 7 pattern (a pattern in which 7 is drawn in blue) , Yellow 7 design (pattern with 7 drawn in yellow), BAR design (design with BAR drawn), replay design (design drawn in blue to simulate the globe), bell design (simulating the bell) Drawn pattern), bullet pattern (pattern imitating a bullet), first watermelon pattern (pattern imitating a watermelon), second watermelon pattern (watermelon with a shape different from the WM1 watermelon) And a cherry pattern (a pattern drawn to imitate cherry) are formed (see FIG. 3). In the same figure, red 7 symbol is “red 7”, blue 7 symbol is “blue 7”, yellow 7 symbol is “yellow 7”, BAR symbol is “BAR”, replay symbol is “RP”, bell symbol is “BE” ”, The bullet symbol“ DG ”, the first watermelon symbol“ WM1 ”, the second watermelon symbol“ WM2 ”, and the cherry symbol“ CH ”. These symbols are formed by sticking tapes on which the respective symbols are printed on the outer peripheral surface of the reel 62. The symbol numbers in FIG. 3 are not physically assigned to the outer peripheral surface of the reel 62, but are virtual numbers, and a specific symbol is assigned by a program for controlling the stop display of each symbol. It is for designating.
After starting the rotation of the reel 62, a predetermined condition (in this embodiment, after executing the process of accelerating the reel 62, a predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the reel 62 is the reference position) is established. Then, the stop switch 50 can be operated (stop operation enabled state).

Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three reels 62 is stopped.
At this time, when a predetermined symbol combination is prepared on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the symbol combination is performed. The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed such that a profit is given to the player when a predetermined combination of symbols is aligned on the active line 86. For example, when a combination of symbols corresponding to a small combination is arranged on the active line 86, a number of medals corresponding to the small combination are awarded to the player.
In the present embodiment, there are provided a normal game state that is normally performed, and a special game state and a special game state in which the profit given to the player can be greater than the normal game state. The special game state includes a bonus game state (RBB game state, CTBB game state) in which a so-called bonus game (RBB game, CTBB game) can be executed. The special game state includes an assist time game state (AT game state) capable of executing a so-called assist time game (AT game), and a replay time game state (RT game state) capable of executing a replay time game (RT game). There is an assist replay time game state (ART game state) in which a so-called assist replay time game (ART game) in which an AT game and an RT game are combined can be executed.

The assist time gaming state (AT gaming state) is a game for assisting to stop a combination of symbols related to a combination on the effective line 86 by notifying the stop operation order of the stop switch 50, winning symbols, etc. State. This AT gaming state relates to an effect (notification effect executed using the notification means), and is mainly controlled by the sub control unit 300 having a sub board.
The replay time gaming state (RT gaming state) is set such that the winning probability of the replaying role (replaying role) is higher (or lower) than the game in the normal gaming state. This RT gaming state is controlled by a main control unit 110 having a main board.
The assist replay time gaming state (ART gaming state) is a combination of the AT gaming state and the RT gaming state.
In the present embodiment, the game state includes a normal game state in which a normal game is being executed, a special game state in which a bonus game is being executed, and a special game state in which a special game is being executed. It has been.

The bonus game is a game that is started from the next game of the aligned game when the bonus combination combination which is a special combination is won and the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus transition combination is aligned on the active line 86. In addition, even if the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus transitional combination is not prepared on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning, the bonus transitional combination of the symbol corresponding to the bonus transitional combination on the effective line 86 will be performed after the next game. The winning combination will be effective until the combination is complete, but other combinations will be invalid after the next game if there is no combination of symbols corresponding to the combination on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning. It becomes. The bonus game state is set so that the winning probability of a small role is higher than a game that has not transitioned to the bonus game state, and therefore, there is a possibility that a player will receive a larger profit than the normal game state Is a high gaming state. The bonus game state ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the bonus game state exceeds a preset number.
In the present embodiment, a second special game state (RBB) as a big bonus game state and a third special game state (CTBB) as a challenge bonus game state are provided as bonus game states. In the second special game state, winning of a small role is facilitated by making a winning probability of a small role lottery higher than that in the normal gaming state. The third special game state facilitates winning of a small combination by placing all small combinations in a winning state. Note that during the third special game state, the stop is stopped within 75 ms from the time of operation of the stop switch 50 in a predetermined case, and the so-called number of sliding symbols is smaller than usual than in the normal game state. Specifically, in the third special game state according to the present embodiment, the right reel 68 has a symbol at the display position at the timing when the right stop switch R is stopped, and a symbol one frame above that symbol. This is a so-called “single frame slide” state in which stop display is possible from within the range of two frames. The third special game according to the present embodiment ends with a payout number exceeding 10. Of course, the end condition is not limited to 10 sheets, and other sheets may be used.
In the present embodiment, the name of the first special gaming state (SB gaming state, single bonus gaming state) has a bonus, but unlike the bonus gaming state described above, the game ends in one game, and If the symbol combination cannot be aligned with a valid line even if the game is won, the right to win the next game is not carried over.

In addition, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the re-gamer is arranged on the active line 86, the bet number is automatically set in the next game without using the medal owned by the player in the next game. It can be performed.
The role lottery means 130 is a means provided in the main control unit 110, and is for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to the operation of the start switch 40. is there. The winning lottery means 130 includes lottery data for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, and is stored in the ROM of the main control unit 110. The role lottery means 130 compares predetermined lottery data with random numbers extracted from random numbers generated by predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values in a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The process by the combination lottery means 130 is performed in step 112 (see FIG. 19) described later.

The stop control unit 140 is a unit provided in the main control unit 110, and is for stopping the rotation of each reel 62. The stop control means 140 stops the rotation of each reel 62 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 130 and the rotation position of the corresponding reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. Note that the stop control means 140 may set a condition for stopping whether or not the order in which the stop switches 50 are stopped is adapted to a predetermined condition as necessary. Processing by the stop control means 140 is performed in step 113 (see FIG. 19) described later.
The stop symbol determination means 150 is a means provided in the main control unit 110, and stores the combination of symbols on the active line 86 when all the reels 62 are stopped, and determines a winning or the like. . Note that the processing by the stop symbol determination means 150 is performed in step 115 (see FIG. 19) described later.

The main privilege granting means 160 as the privilege granting means 320 is a means provided in the main control unit 110 for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 150. It is. The main-side privilege granting means 160 pays out medals when it is determined that the small role is winning as a result of the stop symbol determination means 150.
Further, when the determination result of the stop symbol determination unit 150 indicates that the combination of symbols relating to the re-game player is aligned on the active line 86, the main-side privilege grant unit 160 stores the fact in the RAM of the main control unit 110. . As a result, the main control unit 110 enables a game in the next game without using a medal owned by the player.
The main-side privilege grant unit 160 forms a privilege grant unit 320 together with a sub-side privilege grant unit 330 described later.
The sub-control unit 300 is for executing an effect when it is determined to execute a predetermined effect.

  The effect control means 310 controls the display means 84 having a liquid crystal display device, and, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a special game state (ART game state) such as “123/456” described later is displayed on the screen of the display means 84. ), The display effect using the display means 84 is executed by displaying the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number in a display form of “specific acquisition number / maximum acquisition number”.

The effect device driving means 340 performs a predetermined effect via the notification means 70. Specifically, the rendering device driving unit 340 performs a predetermined rendering using the display unit 84, the speaker 72, and the rendering lamp 78. The rendering device driving means 340 outputs data for turning on and off the LED to an LED driving circuit (not shown) for driving the rendering lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Data for defining data to be output to an audio output circuit (not shown) or data for defining video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display means 84 Is output.
The effect device driving unit 340 drives the display unit 84 to display the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number calculated by the number calculating unit 345.

The number calculating means 345 calculates a predetermined medal number (specific acquisition number) that is added in accordance with a game result in the special game state (ART game state), and mainly uses the special game state (ART game state). ) For setting the maximum number of medals that can be acquired (maximum number of medals).
The number calculating means 345 includes a specific number calculating means 350 for performing a calculation process related to a specific acquired number of sheets and a maximum number calculating means 360 for performing a calculation process regarding the maximum acquired number of sheets.

The specific number calculating means 350 is for calculating a predetermined medal number (specific acquisition number) which is added in accordance with the result of the game in the special game state (ART game state).
The maximum number calculating means 360 is mainly for calculating the maximum number of medals (maximum number acquired) that can be acquired during the special gaming state (ART gaming state).
Note that the calculation processing such as addition by the specific number calculation means 350 and the maximum number calculation means 360 is not limited to the special game state (ART game state), but other game states in the ART preparation game state. However, it is executed.

In accordance with the result of the predetermined game in the special gaming state, the specific number calculating means 350 adds a predetermined medal number to the specific acquired number, and the maximum number calculating means 360 adds a predetermined medal number to the maximum acquired number. In the present embodiment, the maximum number calculating means 360 sets 50 as the initial value of the maximum acquired number at the start of the special gaming state (ART gaming state). The initial value of 50 is not limited to this, and may be other than the specified number (500) if it is less than a certain amount. Further, the initial value may be changed instead of a fixed value. For example, the initial value may be selected by lottery for each set of ART from numerical values such as 10, 50, 100, 200, and 400, and an arbitrary number is determined by lottery. You may do it. Here, one set of special game state (ART game state) means that after the special game state (ART game state) starts, the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number through multiple games and ends. It means a series of multiple games until the end.
In the present embodiment, a set predetermined payout number is set for each combination established as a result of the game. The number calculating means 345 adds the set specified payout number to the specific acquired number or the maximum acquired number according to the role. This specified payout number is not the number of medals actually paid out to the player when the winning combination is won (the number added to the credit), but is a numerical value set to be added to the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number It is. Here, even if the combination of symbols relating to the combination is aligned on the effective line 86, the re-playing combination (replay combination) is actually 0 coins to be paid out to the player. Three sheets are set as the prescribed payout number of the replay role.

The specific number calculating means 350 and the maximum number calculating means 360 perform various additions depending on the type of the combination. The various addition modes will be described below.
(A) Small role (those that are added only to the specified number)
As a general rule, when the 1st to 5th bells are won and won in the special game state (ART game state), the specific number calculation means 350 adds a predetermined number of medals to the specific acquired number. The calculation means 360 maintains the number as it is without adding to the maximum number of acquisitions.
Specifically, in the special game state (ART game state), for example, when winning the third bell combination, the specific number calculating means 350 adds 11 medal numbers to the specific acquired number, but the maximum number calculating means 360 maintains the number as it is without adding to the maximum acquired number (see FIGS. 14A and 7A).
Note that even in the case of the above-mentioned small role, when it is in the special mode gaming state (specific gaming state) or the bonus gaming state (CTBB), the addition mode is different from the above, and will be described in detail later.
In addition, even if it is the above-mentioned small role, when it is won as a duplicate winning combination, due to the difference in conditions such as whether or not it was operated in the recommended stop operation order, it will be different from the above, the details will be detailed later Explained.

(B) Small role (added to both the specific number of acquisitions and the maximum number of acquisitions)
The 1st to 6th watermelon roles and the 1st to 6th cherry roles are low in the lottery probability of the role lottery compared to the lottery probabilities of other small roles, and are usually difficult to establish special small roles ( So-called rare role). In principle, when these special small roles are won and won, the specific number calculation means 350 adds a predetermined number to the specific acquisition number, and the maximum number calculation means 360 adds the predetermined number to the maximum acquisition number. Specifically, for example, when the first watermelon combination wins, five medal numbers are added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number (see FIG. 16D). Further, for example, when a combination of symbols relating to the first cherry combination is aligned on the effective line 86, the specific number calculating means 350 adds a predetermined number (specifically, two) medal number to the specific acquired number, The number calculation means 360 adds a predetermined number (specifically, two) of medals to the maximum acquired number. If any combination of symbols related to the combination is not aligned on an effective line and the game is lost, the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are maintained as they are.
(C) Re-playing role (replaying role)
As a general rule, when the 1st to 8th re-players are selected and won in the special game state (ART game state), the specific number calculation means 350 has a predetermined number (specifically three) of the specific acquired number. The number of medals is added, and the maximum number calculation means 360 keeps it without adding it to the maximum acquired number.
In the above (a), (b) and (c), the behavior is in the normal special game state (ART game state), and in the special mode game state for addition or in the bonus game state (CTBB) The behavior is different from that described above.
In addition, the first to fifth bell roles and the first to eighth replaying roles are elected in the role lottery alone and in the case of winning as a duplicate winning role (simultaneous winning role) in the role lottery. There are streets, and the first to fifth bell combinations in the special gaming state (ART gaming state) are established as duplicate winning combinations (simultaneous winning combination).

(D) Special mode gaming state (specific gaming state)
There are provided a specific game state that is started by a predetermined trigger during the special game state (ART game state) and a non-specific game state that is a state other than the specific game state during the special game state.
When the combination of symbols related to the winning combination in the special game state (ART game state) is aligned on an effective line, the non-specific game state, the specific number calculation means 350 is added to the specific acquired number, the maximum number The calculation means 360 keeps it as it is without adding it to the maximum acquired number. When the combination of symbols related to the winning combination in the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is aligned on an effective line, the specific number calculating means 350 adds the predetermined number to the specific acquired number in the specific gaming state, The maximum number calculating means 360 adds a predetermined number to the maximum acquired number. In the present embodiment, the above-described specific gaming state means a special mode gaming state called an “additional zone” in the special gaming state (ART gaming state).

Specifically, in the special game state (ART game state), the game state (non-specific game) not in the special mode game state (specific game state) but only in the normal special game state (ART game state). For example, if the first special bell is won and the third bell combination is won, the specific number calculation means 350 adds 11 medals to the specific acquisition number, but the maximum number calculation means 360 acquires the maximum number. The number of sheets is maintained without being added to the number of sheets (see FIGS. 14A and 7A).
On the other hand, in the special mode game (specific game state) in the special game state (ART game state), for example, when the first special bell is won and the third bell combination is won, the specific number calculation means 350 determines the specific acquired number. The eleven medal number is added, and the maximum number calculating means 360 adds the eleven medal number to the maximum acquired number (see FIGS. 14B and 7A). That is, during the special mode game, the same number (11 for the first to fourth special bells) is added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number.

(E) Addition lottery When the number of additions to the maximum number to be acquired (additional number) is determined as a result of the addition lottery means 400 described later, the maximum number calculation means 360 adds the number to the maximum acquisition number. The specific number calculating means 350 maintains the specific number of acquired sheets without adding them.
Specifically, for example, in the special game state (ART game state) or in the special game state preparation (in the ART preparation game state), if the extra lottery means 400 wins the addition of 30 pieces as a result of the extra lottery, the maximum number The calculation means 360 adds the number of medals of 30 to the maximum number obtained. On the other hand, the number of medals is not added to the specific acquired number, but is maintained as it is (see FIGS. 17A and 17B).

Next, the number calculating means 345 performs various addition processes in relation to a predetermined penalty condition.
Specifically, the specific number calculation means 350 as the number calculation means 345 is a rule that is set to the same number as the payout number in the game when the penalty condition is not satisfied during the special game state (ART game state). The payout number is added to the specific acquired number.
The maximum number calculating means 360 as the number calculating means 345 sets the specified payout number set to a number larger than the payout number in the game when the penalty condition is satisfied during the special game state (ART game state). to add.

In relation to the penalty condition, various aspects of addition in a predetermined combination (f) and a predetermined gaming state (g) will be described below.
(F) Duplicate Winners Duplicate winners (first special bell to fourth special bell) that are simultaneously elected in the role lottery are provided (see FIG. 7). When this duplicate winning combination (1st special bell to 4th special bell) is won, a predetermined number of payouts will be obtained when the combinations of symbols related to that combination are arranged on an effective line in a predetermined stop operation order (recommended stop operation order). The third bell combination for which (11) medals are paid out and the predetermined combination of symbols in the predetermined stop operation order other than the recommended stop operation order are aligned on an effective line and the predetermined payout number (11 pieces) ) And the fourth bell combination where two medals are paid out (see FIG. 7).

During the special gaming state (ART gaming state), winning the duplicate winning combination (1st special bell to 4th special bell), the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order, and the combination of symbols related to the 3rd bell combination is effective When they are aligned on the line 86, the specific number calculating means 350 adds the specified payout number equal to the payout number (11 sheets) set for the combination to the specific acquired number.
On the other hand, during the special game state (ART game state), the winning combination (first special bell to fourth special bell) is won and the stop operation is performed in a predetermined stop operation order other than the recommended stop operation order. When the combination of symbols relating to the bell combination is aligned on an effective line, the number of payouts set for the combination is paid out, which is the payout number of the fourth bell combination. The specified payout number set to a number greater than two, which is the number of payouts for the fourth bell combination, is added to the specific acquired number. Specifically, 11 sheets, which is the specified payout number that can be most acquired in the special bell combination, is added to the specific acquired number. Note that a specified payout number of 11 or more may be added.

  More specifically, as a result of the role lottery, when the first special bell, which is a double winning combination, is won and both the third bell role and the fourth bell role are won (FIG. 7A The recommended stop operation order is the order of the middle stop switch C, the left stop switch L, and the right stop switch R (CLR) (see FIG. 7B). At this time, when the player performs a stop operation by the stop switch 50 in the order of the stop switch C, the left stop switch L, and the right stop switch R in the recommended stop operation order (CLR) and wins the third bell combination , 11 medals are paid out. At this time, the specific number calculating means 350 adds the specified payout number (11 sheets) equal to the payout number to the specific acquired number (see FIG. 16B).

  On the other hand, a stop operation by the stop switch 50 is performed by the player in an order other than the order of the stop switch C, the left stop switch L, and the right stop switch R (CLR) in the recommended stop operation order, and the fourth bell combination is won. And two medals are paid out. At this time, the specific number calculating means 350 adds 11 specified payout numbers larger than the payout number of 2 to the specific acquired number as a penalty that is not stopped according to the recommended stop operation order (FIG. 16C )reference).

  In the above-described example, two winning combinations, the third bell combination and the fourth bell combination, are provided on the premise of the duplicate winning combination, but the combination is not necessarily limited to such a double winning combination. is not. For example, there is a recommended stop operation order, not a duplicate winning combination, and a specific specific combination with a specified number of payouts is provided, and the specific combination is won during the special game state, and the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order. If the combination of symbols related to the specified combination is aligned on an effective line, the specified payout number equal to the number of payouts in the game is added to the specified acquired number, and the specified combination is won during the special game state. Nevertheless, if the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order, the specified payout number set to a number (one or more) greater than the number of payouts (0) in the game is set as the specific acquired number You may make it add.

(G) Third special gaming state (CTBB)
As a gaming state, a special gaming state (third gaming state) that can be transitioned to during a special gaming state (ART gaming state) and ends when a total number exceeding the predetermined number of medals (for example, ten) is acquired during the transition. Is provided. The maximum number of medals (special total number, for example, 21) that can be acquired in the game in the special game state is set. The number calculation means 345 wins a specific combination during the special game state, and when a stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order, a specific payout number (the same number as the number of payouts of the specific combination) is specifically acquired. Add to the number. On the other hand, when the specific combination is won during the special game state and the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order, the number calculating means 345 adds the special total number to the specific acquired number.

This will be specifically described. In the third special game state according to the present embodiment, “when the number of paid out medals exceeds 10” is set as the end condition of the special game state. The third special game can be executed once or a plurality of times until this end condition is satisfied, and when this end condition is satisfied, the special game state ends. Here, the above-mentioned “special total number” is the maximum number of medals (21) that can be obtained in the special gaming state.
As a game, a special game state (third game state) that can be shifted to a special game state (ART game state) and ends when the total number of medals exceeding the predetermined number of medals (specifically, for example, ten) is acquired during the transition. Special gaming state). The third special game state as the special game state is completed by paying more than 10 cards with all the small roles in a winning state. In the third special game state, the maximum number of medals that can be acquired (specifically, 21) is set as the special total number.
In the special game state (the third special game state), when the fifth bell combination (10 payouts) is stopped in the recommended stop operation order to win a prize, the specific number calculation means 350 specifies the specified payout number 10 Add to the number of cards earned. At this time, 10 medals are paid out, the 10 special game state end condition is not exceeded, and the end condition is not satisfied, so the third special game state shifts to the second game. It will be.

In the special gaming state (third special gaming state), if the fifth bell role is not won without stopping in the recommended stop operation order, and the third bell role (11 payouts) is won, the specific number is calculated. The means 350 adds the special total number 21 as the maximum number acquired in the special gaming state (third special gaming state) to the specific acquired number. At this time, 11 medals are paid out, and the third special game state is satisfied, and the third special game state ends in the first game (see FIG. 15A).
When the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order in the first game during the special game state (third special game state) and the second game is entered, the following occurs.
In the second game in the special game state (third special game state), when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order and the third bell combination (11 payouts) is won, the specific number calculation means 350 is defined. The payout number 11 is added to the specific acquisition number.

  In the second game in the special game state (third special game state), when the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order and the fifth bell combination (payout number 10) is won, the specific number calculation means 350 is 11 The number of sheets is added to the specific acquired number.

The number determination means 370 determines whether or not the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number, and determines whether or not the maximum acquired number has reached a predetermined predetermined number. . In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to 500. Of course, the prescribed number is not limited to 500, but may be set to a number other than at least the initial value of the maximum number obtained in the specific gaming state.
The special gaming state ending means 380 is for determining the end state of the special gaming state (ART gaming state), and when the number determination means 370 determines that the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number The special game state is terminated.

The special game state continuation means 390 is in a special game state (ART game state) when the number determination means 370 determines that the maximum number of acquired games has reached a specified number, or when an ART continuous lottery described later is won. This is for starting the special game state (ART game state) again after the end.
As a result of the game in the special game state (ART game state), if the specific acquisition number is greater than or equal to the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is less than the specified number, the special game state ending means 380 The special gaming state can be ended.

Specifically, when the number of ART continuing stocks of the special gaming state stock means 420 to be described later is 0, and the result of the game in the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is that the specific number acquired is greater than or equal to the maximum number acquired If the maximum number obtained is less than the prescribed number, the special game state ending means 380 ends the special game state in the game, and the special game state (ART game state) starts again after the end. (Resume, continue)
When the number of ART continued stocks of the special gaming state stock means 420 described later is 1 or more, the special gaming state ending means 380 re-specifies the special gaming state (ART gaming state) after the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends. Start (resume, continue).
As a result of the game in the special game state, if the specific acquisition number is greater than or equal to the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is greater than or equal to the specified number, the special game state continuation means 390 re-specifies the special game state after the special game state ends. Start playing state.
When the special game state continuation means 390 wins the ART continuous lottery of the special game state continuation lottery means 415, which will be described later, even when the maximum acquisition number is less than the prescribed number and the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number. After the end of the special game state (ART game state), the special game state (ART game state) is started again.
Specifically, even if the special game state stock means 420, which will be described later, has an ART continuation stock number of 0 and the above-described maximum earned number has not reached the specified number, the continuation effect game (continuation battle) is entered. The ART continuous lottery is executed at this timing, and when this ART continuous lottery is won, the special game state (ART game state) is started (restarted) again.
Further, the number of ART continued stocks to be described later is 0, and the above-mentioned maximum acquired number has not reached the specified number, and the player enters the continuous production game (continuous battle) and loses (the ART continued stock number is 0). Therefore, if the ART lottery of the special game state lottery means 410 at the time of operating the start switch 40 for the next game is won, the special game state (ART game state) is started (restarted) again. .

Further, when the special acquisition state 380 ends the special game state (ART game state) when the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number, the number of continued ART stocks in the special game state stock unit 420 described later is 1 or more. In such a case, the special gaming state continuation means 390 resumes the special gaming state (ART gaming state) even if the maximum number obtained has not reached the specified number.
The extra lottery means 400 determines the extra number related to the special game state (ART game state). Specifically, the extra lottery means 400 is for determining whether or not to add a predetermined number to the maximum acquired number and, if it is to be added, the added number by lottery. A value is obtained from a random number for determining the additional number, and the number corresponding to the acquired value is determined. If the determined number is 0, it is handled as “do not add a predetermined number (non-winning lottery)”.

When the winning result is determined by adding the predetermined number of medals to the maximum acquired number, the maximum number calculating means 360 adds the predetermined number to the maximum acquired number, and the specific number calculating means 350 is the specific acquisition. The specific acquired number is maintained without being added to the number (see FIGS. 17A and 17B).
Note that the extra lottery by the extra lottery means 400 is performed not only when the gaming state of the sub-control unit 300 is the ART gaming state but also in the ART preparation state. However, the specific acquisition by the notification means 70 is possible even when the extra lottery is won and the count value (the number added to the maximum acquisition number) is set in cases other than the special game state (ART game state) such as the ART ready state. The display of the number of sheets and the maximum number of acquired sheets is maintained without display.
In the present embodiment, both the addition to at least one of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number based on the result of the combination lottery means 130 and the addition to the maximum acquisition number based on the lottery result of the extra lottery means 400 However, it is formed to be executable in one game.
The special game state lottery means 410 performs an ART lottery to determine whether or not to shift to a special game state (ART game state) in each game during the normal game state. This ART lottery draws a transition (so-called first hit) to a special game state (ART game state) in the normal game state.

If the special game state lottery means 410 is won by lottery, the ART winning state is set. In the ART winning state, the transition pattern from the normal gaming state or the RT4 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state in the gaming state of the main control unit 110, the transition symbol from the RT1 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state, and from the RT2 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state The recommended stop operation order of the transition symbol is notified, and the transition to the ART gaming state is promoted (see FIG. 9).
The special gaming state continuation lottery means 415 shifts (starts, continues) to the special gaming state (ART gaming state) again after the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends in the special gaming state (ART gaming state). ) ART continuous lottery is performed. This ART continuous lottery is a lottery to determine whether or not to add the next special game state (ART game state). When this ART continuous lottery is won, the special game state (ART game state) can be resumed immediately after the special game state (ART game state) is terminated by the special game state stock means 420 described later. 1 is added to the number of continued ART stocks.
The special game state stock means 420 is for storing (stocking) the number of ART continuing stocks as the number of rights that can be restarted again immediately after the special game state (ART game state) is terminated. The special game state stock means 420 adds 1 to the number of ART continued stocks when it is won as a result of the ART continuous lottery of the special game state continuous lottery means 415. The special game state stock means 420 subtracts 1 from the ART continued stock number when the special game state is started (restarted) again immediately after the end of the special game state (ART game state).
If the number of ART continued stocks is 1 or more, the specific number obtained reaches the maximum number obtained, the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends, and the maximum amount is obtained after a continuous performance game that becomes a battle effect of one game. Even if the number has not reached the prescribed number, the special game state continuation means 390 starts the next special game state (ART game state). This battle effect is the content of the battle with the enemy character. When the next special game state (ART game state) is started after the battle effect, the enemy side loses and the next special game state (ART When the game state is not started, the enemy side is set to win.

  Further, the special gaming state stock means 420 adds 1 to the ART continued stock number when the maximum number of sheets acquired by the maximum number calculating means 360 reaches the prescribed number of 500 (see step 413 in FIG. 22).

In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, “reaching the maximum acquired number of sheets” is a kind of mission imposed on the player as an effect. According to this embodiment, by accomplishing (clearing) this mission, a special game state (ART game state) as a bonus is added, and the game can be enjoyed.
The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment achieves the mission of reaching the specified number of the maximum number obtained during the special gaming state (ART gaming state), and immediately after the end of the special gaming state (ART gaming state). It is possible to add one set of special game states (ART game states) that can be executed. Specifically, by achieving the mission, 1 is added to the number of ART continuing stocks.
The special gaming state stock means 420 has a stock mission flag as a flag for adding the ART continuing stock number. In the initial state, the special gaming state stock means 420 sets this stock mission flag to the OFF state, and sets the stock mission flag to the ON state when the maximum acquired number reaches the prescribed number 500. When the stock mission flag is turned on, the special game state stock means 420 adds 1 to the ART continuing stock number (see step 413 in FIG. 22).

The sub gaming state control means 430 controls a plurality of gaming states managed by the sub control unit 300. The plurality of gaming states managed by the sub-control unit 300 include a normal gaming state, a precursor gaming state, an ART preparation gaming state, and an ART gaming state. The sub gaming state control means 430 controls each of these gaming states, determines a transition condition between each gaming state, and executes a transition of the gaming state.
The acquired number management table storage means 440 stores an acquired number management table (see FIGS. 14 and 15).

  In the acquired number management table, a prize is awarded for each combination in a gaming state (non-special mode gaming state) that is not shifted to a special mode gaming in a special gaming state (ART gaming state) and in a special mode gaming state. The number to be added to the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number is stored. This acquired number management table includes (A) a non-special mode gaming state and (B) a special mode gaming state during a normal special gaming state (ART gaming state) (see FIG. 14). In addition, the acquired number management table includes (A) in the special game state (ART game state) (A) when the game mode is shifted to the third special game state during the non-special mode game state, and (B) in the special mode game state. In the third special game state (see FIG. 15).

As shown in FIG. 4, as the special combination, the first special combination that is the transition of the first special gaming state (SB gaming state) and the second special that is the transition of the second special gaming state (RBB gaming state). And a third special combination which is a transition combination of the third special gaming state, and the number of combinations of the respective symbols is one, two, and four. Examples of the symbol combinations are (red 7, BAR, yellow 7), (red 7, red 7, red 7), (RP, WM1, WM1), etc., and the payout (medal payout number) is all 0.
In the present embodiment, when a transition is made to the third special gaming state during the special gaming state (ART gaming state), the player is given an impression of transitioning from the special gaming state (ART gaming state) to another gaming state. It is shown that the special gaming state (ART gaming state) continues as it is. In the special game state (ART game state), the timing at which the game state is switched is almost not determined from the appearance of the reel 62 (stop display pattern) and the numerical value of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number displayed on the display means 84. It is set not to understand. Specifically, even if the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is shifted to the third special gaming state, the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number are not reset to the initial values, and the third special gaming state is transferred. Information on the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number displayed on the screen of the display means 84 by continuously using (adding) the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number in the special game state (ART game state) before the game ([GET] “MAX”) is also continuously used (addition display).
In the present embodiment, the special role described above is won during the special game state (ART game state), and the symbol of the special role is provided so that it can be stopped (can be established). When this special combination is established, since the payouts are all 0, it is possible to shift to each special game state without affecting the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number.
In addition, when a special role is established and a special gaming state is started, it becomes easy to acquire a large number of games (for example, 450), an additional lottery is executed based on a lottery table, and the extra lottery is won. In this case, the predetermined number may be added to the maximum acquired number.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first to eighth replaying combinations are provided as replaying combinations (replaying combinations). Specifically, for example, the sixth re-playing role (another name: ART start replay 1) has a total of four symbol combinations, and examples of symbol combinations are (BE, BE, Yellow 7). The payout (the number of payouts) is 0, and in a predetermined state (ART preparation state: see FIG. 10), when the combination of symbols related to the combination is aligned on an effective line, the game state changes to the special game state (ART game state). It can be migrated.

  As shown in FIG. 6, as a small role, a first bell role to a fifth bell role, a first watermelon role to a sixth watermelon role, and a first cherry role to a sixth cherry role are provided. For each of these combinations, the number, symbol combination, and payout are individually determined in advance. Specifically, for example, the third bell combination (alias: 11 bells) is provided as the number of symbol combinations, and one of the seven symbol combinations (RP, BE, RP) ) And the payout (medal payout number) is determined to be 11. In addition, for example, the fourth bell combination (also known as: two bells) is provided as 20 symbol combinations, and one of the 20 symbol combinations is (RP, WM1, Yellow 7). The dividend (the number of medals to be paid out) is determined to be two.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a first special bell to a fifth special bell are provided as overlapping winning combinations that are won simultaneously by the combination lottery. For example, when the 1st special bell is won, the third bell role (11 bells) with 11 payouts when winning and the 4th bell role (2 bells) with 2 payouts at the same time You will win. Here, as shown in FIG. 7B, the third bell combination is when the stop operation order is the order of the middle stop switch C, the left stop switch L, and the right stop switch R ((middle left and right (CLR)). The stop operation order is middle left and right (CLR), where the stop operation order of the stop switch 50 by the player is the middle reel 66, the left reel 64, and the right reel 68. This means that the middle stop switch C, the left stop switch L, and the right stop switch R, which are the corresponding stop switches 50, are operated in order, as shown in FIG. As such, the fourth bell role has priority when the stop operation order is middle right left (CRL), right left middle (RLC), right middle left (RCL), left right middle (LRC), and left middle right (LCR). To win. In other words, if the first special bell of the double winning combination is won, both the third bell combination and the fourth bell combination will be selected. The third bell combination wins preferentially in the order, and the fourth bell combination wins in the remaining 5 alternative stop operation orders excluding the one selection.

As shown in FIG. 8, a first special replay (also known as ART start 1) and a second special replay (also known as ART start 2) are provided as special replay roles.
The first special re-game is stopped as the first re-playing role (also known as normal replay), which is established with priority when the stop operation order is left middle right (LCR) as a duplicate winning combination that is won simultaneously by the lottery. A sixth re-game player (alias: ART start replay 1) that takes precedence when the operation order is in the middle left (RLC), and a sixth re-game that takes precedence when the stop operation order is in the middle right (RCL). 7 re-games (also known as ART start replay 2) and 8th re-games (also known as ART start replay 3) that are given priority when the stop operation order is left middle right (LCR) are provided. Yes.
The second special re-game is stopped as the first re-playing role (also known as normal replay) that is established with priority when the stop operation order is left middle right (LCR) as a duplicate winning combination that is won simultaneously by the lottery. A sixth re-gamer (alias: ART start replay 1) that takes precedence when the operation order is middle left and right (RLC), and a sixth re-game that takes precedence when the operation order is left middle right (LCR). Eight re-game players (also known as ART start replay 3) are provided.

The gaming state controlled by the main control unit 110 includes a normal gaming state, a replay time gaming state (RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state, RT3 gaming state and RT4 gaming state), a big bonus gaming state (RBB gaming state), and a first gaming state. The transition relationship with the three special game states is as shown in FIG.
In the replay time gaming state, the lottery probability of the re-gamer lottery is set to a high probability in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state, and in the RT4 gaming state, it is set to the same level as the normal gaming state. is there.

The ART lottery is performed by the special game state lottery means 410 of the sub-control unit 300 in the normal game state and the RT4 game state. When this ART lottery is won, the transition role is a role lottery for the transitional role for transitioning from the normal gaming state to the RT1 gaming state, from the RT1 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state, and from the RT2 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state. When winning, the stop operation order is notified so that each transition is easily performed.
Thus, when the sub control unit 300 shifts to the ART gaming state, which is the gaming state, the game state of the main control unit 110 can be easily shifted to the ART gaming state of the RT3 gaming state in conjunction with it. Yes. In the special game state (ART game state) state, the stop operation order of the small role is notified, and the player is provided with many profits.
Moreover, it is formed to be able to shift from the normal gaming state and the RT1-4 gaming state to the third special gaming state and the big bonus gaming state (RBB gaming state).

As shown in FIG. 10, the gaming state in the sub-control unit 300 includes a normal gaming state, a precursor gaming state, an ART preparation gaming state, and an ART gaming state. The sub gaming state control means 430 controls each of these gaming states, judges the transition conditions between the gaming states, and executes the transition.
In the normal game state, the special game state lottery means 410 draws whether or not to shift to the special game state (ART game state). When the transfer lottery is won, the ART game state is won, and a transition is made to the precursor game state or a ART preparation game state based on the winning result. When the ART gaming state is won, the main controller 110 changes the stop operation order of the transition from the normal gaming state to the RT1 gaming state, from the RT1 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state, and from the RT2 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state. To assist the transition of the gaming state in the main control unit 110. In the precursor state, whether or not to be added to the maximum number obtained by the extra lottery means 400 and the number of additions in the case of addition are determined by lottery. The sub gaming state control means 430 shifts to the ART preparation gaming state by digesting a predetermined number of games in the precursor state. Even in this ART preparation game state, the extra lottery is performed by the extra lottery means 400 in the same manner as the precursor game state. The sub gaming state control means 430 shifts the gaming state to the ART gaming state when the symbols related to the predetermined ART start replay combination are aligned on the active line 86 in the ART preparation gaming state.

  In this special gaming state (ART gaming state), the extra lottery is performed by the extra lottery means 400, and after the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is finished by the special gaming state continuous lottery means 415, the special gaming state is entered again ( The ART continuous lottery of whether to start or continue) is performed. Upon completion of the special gaming state (ART gaming state), the sub gaming state control means 430 returns the gaming state to the normal gaming state.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, before the start of the special game state (ART game state), the count value of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are both 0, and the display value displayed by the notification means 70 Are not displayed. When the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is started, the count value of the specific acquired number remains 0, and the count value of the maximum acquired number is set to an initial value of 50. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 000 sheets” indicating the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 050 sheets” indicating the maximum acquired number of sheets. When the player operates the max bet switch 34 to place three bets, the -3 bet is added from the specific acquired number of 0 (3 is subtracted) and the specific acquired number is -3. The maximum number of acquired sheets is maintained at 50 sheets. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 000 sheets” indicating the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 050 sheets” indicating the maximum acquired number of sheets. When a special game state (ART game state) is played once and a prize is awarded for 11 small payouts, 11 is added to the specific acquired number-3 and the specific acquired number is 8 and the maximum is obtained. The number of sheets is maintained at 50 sheets. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 008 sheets” indicating the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 050 sheets” indicating the maximum acquired number of sheets.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (B), at the end of the Nth game (N is an arbitrary integer) in the special game state (ART game state), the count value of the specific acquisition number is 123, and the maximum acquisition number The count value is 200 sheets. The display values displayed by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 123 sheets” indicating the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 200 sheets” indicating the maximum acquired number of sheets. Here, the Nth game in the special game state (ART game state) ends, and the N + 1th game in the special game state (ART game state) starts. The display by the notification means 70 remains as it is. Next, when the maximum bet switch 34 is operated in the (N + 1) th game in the special game state (ART game state) and three medals are bet, the count value 123 of the specific acquisition number is- Three sheets are added (three are subtracted), the count value of the specific acquired number of sheets is 120 sheets, and the count value of the maximum acquired number of sheets is maintained at 200 sheets. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 120 sheets” which means the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 200 sheets” which means the maximum acquired number of sheets. Next, in the N + 1th game in the special game state (ART game state), when all reels 62 are stopped and 11 payouts are aligned on the effective line 86, the count value of the specific acquired number is 11 Is added to 131 sheets, and the count value of the maximum number of acquired sheets is maintained at 200 sheets. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 131 sheets” which means the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 200 sheets” which means the maximum acquired number of sheets.

As described above, at the start of the special gaming state of (A), -3 cards are added (3 are subtracted) by the bet operation and the count value becomes negative, whereas the numerical value (-3) is The notification means 70 does not display the display value. On the other hand, in the middle of the game in the special gaming state (B), the numerical value of 120 pieces obtained by adding -3 pieces (3 pieces being subtracted) and subtracting from the count value by the bet operation is displayed by the notification means 70. The value is displayed as it is.
As shown in FIG. 12, on the effect screen displayed on the display means 84 in the special game state, “˜RUSH” and the name of the special game state (ART game state) are displayed. Also, the total number of medals acquired during the special game state (ART game state) is displayed as “TOTAL: 012”. It should be noted that the number of medals is continued when the special game state (ART game state) is once ended and then restarted immediately thereafter, so-called special game state (ART game state) continues. (Resume) The number of medals won in the special game state before and after (ART game state) is also displayed in total. In addition, the number of times of the continuous special gaming state (ART) including the first hit is displayed as “˜RUSH”. Specifically, for example, when “5RUSH” is displayed, five sets of special game states (ART game states) are continuously executed. In addition, for example, “GET: 012” is displayed that the specific number of acquired sheets is 12, and “MAX: 050” is displayed that the maximum acquired number of sheets is 50. .
As shown in FIG. 13, during the normal gaming state, the count values of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are both 0, and the display values displayed by the notification means 70 are not displayed. . If the winning lottery means 400 (+30) is won during the ART ready game state in the ART ready gaming state, the count value of the specific acquired number remains 0, and the count value of the maximum acquired number is The added 30 sheets are added up. The display values displayed by the notification means 70 at this time are all in a state of no display.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the additional number acquired during the ART preparation game state is added to the count value of the maximum acquired number, but is displayed on the maximum acquired number on the screen of the display means 84. It is not limited to this. In this way, in addition to not displaying at all on the screen of the display means 84, an image that suggests the addition may be displayed. Specifically, for example, as an image that suggests (corresponds to) the obtained additional number of images, the number of images such as stars, symbols, and characters, and the color of the background screen of the display means 84 are displayed corresponding to the additional number of images. May be.

Next, when the ART gaming state is started (but before the betting by the max bet switch 34, etc.), the count value of the specific number of acquired sheets is maintained at 0, and the count value of the maximum acquired number of sheets is set to the maximum acquired number of 30 sheets The initial value of 50 sheets is added to set 80 sheets. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 000 sheets” which means the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 080 sheets” which means the maximum acquired number of sheets. In this special gaming state (ART gaming state), the count value of the specific acquired number is 75, the count value of the maximum acquired number is 85, and the display value by the notification means 70 means “GET” : 075 "and" MAX: 085 ", which means the maximum number of sheets acquired, suppose that 11 small payouts win a prize. At that time, 11 is added to the specific acquired number of 75, the count value of the specific acquired number is 86, and the count value of the maximum acquired number is maintained at 85. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 086 sheets” meaning the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 085 sheets” meaning the maximum number of acquired sheets. The number determination means 370 determines whether or not the specific acquired number 86 has reached the maximum acquired number 85, and determines that it has reached. The special game state ending means 380 receives the determination that the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number by the number determining means 370 and ends the special game state (ART game state). Here, during the special game state before the game, the ART continuous lottery of the special game state continuous lottery means 415 is already won, and the number of ART continued stocks of the special game state stock means 420 is 1. As a result, the special game state (ART game state) of the first set ends, and after the continuous effect game state (battle effect game) ends, the special game state (ART game state) of the second set is started. The At this time, the count value of the specific acquired number is set to 0, and the count value of the maximum acquired number is set to 50 as the initial number. The display values by the notification means 70 at this time are “GET: 000 sheets” indicating the specific acquired number of sheets and “MAX: 050 sheets” indicating the maximum acquired number of sheets.
As shown in FIG. 14 (A), in the non-special mode gaming state in the ART gaming state, in the first to fourth special bells, the addition value to the specific acquisition number is 11, and the addition value to the maximum acquisition number As shown in FIG. 14 (B), in the special mode gaming state, the added value to the specific acquired number is 11 in the first to fourth special bells, and the maximum number is acquired. The value added to the number is 11 sheets. The player who is in the special mode gaming state is also added to the maximum number of acquisitions, so the difference between the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number will not be reduced and the ART termination condition will not be achieved. Is advantageous to players. In other combinations, the added values are the same in the special mode gaming state and in the non-special mode gaming state. In the figure, “at the time of acquisition” refers to the case where these roles are won, and “when not acquired” refers to the case where the winning is not achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the present embodiment, there is a case where the state shifts to the third special game state even during the ART game state, and is the acquired number management table used in the third special game state in such a case. As shown in FIG. 15A, in the third special game state in the non-special mode game state, the value added to the specific acquired number is set to 10 to 21, but the addition to the maximum acquired number All values are set to 0. On the other hand, in the third special game state in the special mode game state, the addition value to the specific acquisition number is set to 10 to 11, and the addition value to the maximum acquisition number is also set to 10 to 11 Yes. Even in the third special game state that has shifted to the ART game state, the difference between the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is not reduced in the special mode game state than in the non-special mode game state as in FIG. Since it is difficult to achieve the end condition of the ART gaming state, it is advantageous for the player in the special mode gaming state.

As shown in FIG. 16 (A), (B) to (F) show addition modes when various winning combinations such as when the specific acquired number is 123 and the maximum acquired number is 456 are awarded. It is what. In (B), the first special bell of the double winning combination wins, and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle stop switch C, left stop switch L, right stop switch R (middle left and right (CLR)) in the recommended stop operation order, In the case where the third bell combination wins, 11 payouts are made, and 11 are added to the specific acquired number. (C) is the stop operation order other than the order of middle stop switch C, left stop switch L, and right stop switch R (middle left and right (CLR)) in the recommended stop operation order when the first special bell in the duplicate winning role is won. In the case where the fourth bell combination is won, two payouts are made, and 11 is added to the specific acquired number. (D) is a case where the winning combination of the first watermelon as a so-called rare role is won when the winning lottery probability of the winning combination is set lower than that of the other small roles, 5 is added to the specific acquisition number, and 5 is added to the maximum acquisition number. (E) is also a case where the first cherry role as a so-called rare role is won, and two payouts are made. Two are added to the specific acquired number and two are added to the maximum acquired number. (F) is a case where the first re-game player wins, and the number of medals to be paid out is 0, there is no payout, and the specified payout number is added to the specific acquired number.
Here, as described above, when the first re-playing combination is established, three are added to the specific acquired number. For example, if the first re-playing combination is established and the number of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number become the same as a result of adding 3 to the specific acquisition number, at first glance, the special game state end condition However, in this embodiment, the special game state does not end when the first re-game player is established in such a situation. In the present embodiment, the reason why three cards are added to the specific acquired number when the first re-playing combination is established is that three uniform subtractions are planned from the specific acquired number at the time of betting. That is, for the sake of convenience, three sheets are added there for the convenience that the result of adding three sheets and subtracting three sheets results in plus or minus zero. As a result, the addition of 3 cards in the establishment of the first re-gamer is for the sake of convenience as described above, and is not an “addition to the specific number of acquisitions” by the original “acquisition of medals”. .

  FIG. 17A shows the case where the specific acquisition number is 123 and the maximum acquisition number is 234, and the addition lottery means 400 is selected and the winning lottery (+30) is won. Sheets are added. (B) is a case where the winning lottery means 400 is selected when the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number in the ART preparation game state are both 0, and the winning lottery (+30) is won. Sheets are added. The specific acquisition number is 0, the maximum acquisition number is 30, and then ART is started, and 50 as the initial acquisition number is added to the maximum acquisition number. (C), (D), and (F) have a specific acquisition number of 123 and a maximum acquisition number of 456, and (E) has a specific acquisition number of 133 and a maximum acquisition number of 456 after (C). At the time. (C) at this time is a case where the 10-bell combination is won by stopping operation in the recommended stop operation order in the 1st game in the third special game state, and 10 pieces are paid out. 10 sheets are added. At this time, the payout of 10 cards does not satisfy the payout exceeding 10 conditions for ending the third special gaming state, and the second game is possible. (D) shows the recommended stop operation order for establishing the fifth bell role (10 bells) in the first game in the third special gaming state (push order navigation), and the recommendation indicated by this push order navigation This is a case where the player does not perform stop operation in the stop operation order but performs stop operation against this push order navigation, and the first to third bell combination (11 bells) wins. 11 payouts are made, and the special total number of 21 sheets, which is the maximum acquired number in the third special gaming state, is added to the specific acquired number. At this time, 11 pieces are paid out, and the condition for ending the third special gaming state is exceeded, so that the third special gaming state is terminated in this game. As a result, 11 medals were won. (E) is the case where 11 bells are won in the second game in the third special game state after (C) above, and 11 payouts are made. It has been added. The third special gaming state is now completed by satisfying the termination condition of the third special gaming state. As a result, a total of 21 medals were obtained by 10 +11 by (C) and (E). (F) is a case where 11 bells are won in the first game in the third special game state. Since there are 11 payouts, the payout exceeds 10 and the end condition of the third special game state is satisfied, and the third special game state ends in the game. As a result, 11 medals were won.

  Comparing the above (C) + (E), (D), and (F), the case of (C) + (E) where the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order is the largest number of medals at hand. 21 medals can be obtained, and the other (D) and (F) can obtain only 11 medals. In addition, the numerical values of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are also finally determined as (C) + (E) where the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order and (D) where the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order. In spite of the same numerical value, the number of medals that can be obtained by (C) + (E) is larger. This can contribute to the prevention of a gaming operation that ends the third special gaming state illegally early.

As shown in FIG. 18A, when the specific acquisition number is 123 and the maximum acquisition number is 456, 11 payouts are made, and the specific acquisition number 133 is increased to the maximum acquisition number 456. Since it has not reached, the game of the next special game state (ART game state) is performed without ending the special game state (ART game state). As shown in (B), when the specific acquisition number is 447 and the maximum acquisition number is 456, 11 payouts are made. The specific acquisition number 458 reaches the maximum acquisition number 456. Therefore, the special game state end means 380 ends the special game state (ART game state) based on the determination result of the number determination means 370. As shown in (C), when the specific acquisition number is 406 and the maximum acquisition number is 495, when the 5-payout watermelon role is won, the payout is 5 and the specific acquisition number is 5 Is added to obtain 411 sheets, and 5 sheets are added to the maximum obtained number of sheets to obtain 500 sheets. Therefore, although the maximum acquired number has reached the specified number (500), the specific acquired number has not reached the maximum acquired number in a state where the maximum acquired number has not reached the specified number (500). The special game state (ART game state) has not ended yet, and the next special game state (ART game state) is played. As shown in (D), when the specific acquisition number is 489 and the maximum acquisition number is 500, when 11 winning combinations are won, 11 payouts are made, and the specific acquisition number is 500, The maximum number obtained is 500. Since the specific acquisition number 500 reaches the maximum acquisition number 500 and the maximum acquisition number is not less than the prescribed number 500, the special gaming state continuation means 390 has finished the special gaming state (ART gaming state). The next special game state (ART game state) is started again.
As shown in (E), when the specific acquisition number is 496 and the maximum acquisition number is 498, the case of winning 5 watermelons is won. 5 sheets are added to obtain 501 sheets, and 5 sheets are added to the maximum obtained number to obtain 503 sheets. Since the specific acquired number 501 has not yet reached the maximum acquired number 503, the special game state ending means 380 does not end the special game state (ART game state) yet. Therefore, the next game in the special game state (ART game state) is performed. At this time, since the maximum number obtained is 500 or more, the special game state (ART game state) will eventually end, and then the next set of special game states (ART game state) will be entered again. The transition is confirmed. That is, after the specific acquisition number (501) and the maximum acquisition number (503) reach the specified number (500), until the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number, the special game state (ART game state) ) Will be continued. When the specific acquired number (501) is not equal to or greater than the maximum acquired number (503), the display unit 84 as the notification unit 70 sets the specific acquired number (501) and the maximum acquired number (503) to the specified number ( Even after reaching 500), the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are notified.
As shown in (F), when the specific acquisition number is 496 and the maximum acquisition number is 498, the 11-paid-out bell role is won, and the 11 acquisitions are made. 11 sheets are added to 507 sheets, and the maximum number obtained is maintained at 498 sheets. As described above, the specific acquired number 507 has reached the specified number (500), but the specific acquired number 507 has the maximum acquired number 498, while the maximum acquired number has not reached the specified number (500). Therefore, when the number of continued ART stocks in the special gaming state stock means 420 is 0, the special gaming state end means 380 terminates the special gaming state (ART gaming state). For this reason, the next set of special game states (ART game states) after the end is not started. When the number of ART continuing stocks is 1 or more, the special game state (ART game state) of the next set is started after the special game state (ART game state) ends.
Here, as shown in (F), when the specific number obtained is 496 and the maximum number obtained is 498, a special small role, for example, a first watermelon role (five payouts) as a rare role is won and a prize is awarded. Then, 5 is added to both the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number, and the specific acquisition number is 501 and the maximum acquisition number is 503. As a result, the maximum number obtained exceeds the prescribed number (500), and the resumption (continuation) of one set of special game state (ART game state) is determined immediately after the end of the game. That is, in the vicinity of the end condition of one set of special game states (ART game state) in which the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number approach the specified number (500), the next special game state (ART Whether or not (game state) can be resumed is determined, and the number of medals (profit) that the player can acquire greatly changes.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 19, the process which the control apparatus 100 performs for every game is demonstrated.
First, in step 110, a betting number setting process is performed. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control unit 110 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the bet number of the game has reached a predetermined bet number. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets is three. For this reason, when three bets are set, the process proceeds to the next step 111. If 3 bets are not set as the bet number, the current step remains.

  In step 111, the main control unit 110 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control unit 110 makes it impossible to set the bet amount. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the next step 112. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step 111 is performed again.

  In step 112, the role lottery means 130 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 110 to the sub-control unit 300. When the role lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step 113.

In step 113, rotation variation processing of the reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the reel 62 reaches the predetermined rotation speed, when the main control unit 110 operates the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating reel 62, the stop control means 140 stops the rotation of each reel 62. Be made. Here, when a stop operation is performed third by the stop switch 50, a third reel stop signal is transmitted from the main control unit 110 to the sub control unit 300. Then, when the rotation variation processing of all the reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step 114.
In step 114, the stop symbol determination means 150 performs a determination process such as winning a prize as to whether or not a combination of symbols having a predetermined role is aligned on the effective line 86 with respect to the combination of symbols on the effective line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control unit 110 to the sub-control unit 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step 115.

In step 115, the privilege granting means 320 performs a process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 150. When this process is completed, one game is completed, and the main control unit 110 enters a state in which the number of bets can be set for the next game.
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 20, the 1st effect control process in the sub control part 300 is demonstrated. The first effect control process is a control process in the sub-control unit 300 near the start of the game in one game in the special game state (ART game state).

In step 210, it is determined whether or not the result of the lottery is received from the main control unit 110. If it is determined that it has been received, the process proceeds to the next step 211, and if it is determined that it has not been received, the process returns to step 210.
In step 211, an extra lottery process is performed by the extra lottery means 400. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 212.
In step 212, it is determined whether or not the addition lottery means 400 is to be added as a result of the addition lottery. If it is determined that an extra is to be performed (the winning is the result of the extra lottery), the process proceeds to the next step 213, and if it is determined not to be an additional, the process proceeds to step 214.

In step 213, the extra lottery means 400 performs a lottery process for the extra number. Specifically, based on the lottery result for determining the number of extra lottery means 400 to be added, it is determined whether the number to be added is any one of predetermined numbers such as 30, 50, 100, etc. The Then, the process proceeds to the next step 214.
In step 214, the specific number calculation means 350 subtracts 3 as the bet number from the specific acquired number. In the present embodiment, 3 is subtracted from the specific acquired number in the next game after the game in which the combination of symbols relating to the re-playing role (replaying role) is stopped on the active line 86. Is done. Then, the process ends.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 21, the second effect control process in the sub-control unit 300 will be described. The second effect control process is a control process in the sub-control unit 300 near the end of the game in one game in the special game state (ART game state).
In step 310, it is determined whether a third reel stop signal has been received from the main control unit 110. If it is determined that it has been received, the process proceeds to the next step 311, and if it is determined that it has not been received, the process returns to step 310.
In step 311, as a result of the extra lottery of the extra lottery means 400, it is determined whether or not the extra lottery is won. If it is determined that the extra lottery is won, the process proceeds to the next step 312, and if it is determined that the extra lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step 313.
In step 312, the added number determined based on the result of the added lottery means 400 is added to the maximum obtained number by the maximum number calculating means 360. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 313.

In step 313, it is determined whether or not a re-game player is established in the game based on the determination result data received from the main control unit 110. Then, in the game, when it is determined that a re-game is established, the process proceeds to the next step 314, and when it is determined that a re-game is not established, the process proceeds to the next step 315.
In step 314, the specific number calculation means 350 adds 3 to the specific acquired number. Then, as shown in FIG.
In step 315, the specific number calculating means 350 adds the value acquired from the acquired number management table to the specific acquired number. Specifically, the winning combination is identified based on information (not shown) regarding the stop symbol received from the main control unit 110, and the specific acquired number of copies is determined from the acquired number management table based on the established combination. The value to be added to is obtained. The specific number calculating means 350 adds the value to the specific acquired number. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 316.

  In step 316, the maximum number calculation means 360 adds the value acquired from the acquired number management table to the maximum acquired number. Specifically, a winning combination is identified based on information (not shown) regarding the stop symbol received from the main control unit 110, and the maximum acquired number is obtained from the acquired number management table based on the established combination. The value to be added to is obtained. The maximum number calculating means 360 adds the value to the maximum acquired number. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 410.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 22, the second effect control process in the sub-control unit 300 will be described.
In step 410, the special gaming state stock means 420 determines whether or not the stock mission flag is in an OFF state. If it is determined that it is in the OFF state, the process proceeds to the next step 411. If it is determined that it is not in the OFF state, that is, it is in the ON state, the process proceeds to step 414.
In step 411, the maximum number calculating means 360 determines whether or not the maximum acquired number has reached the prescribed number of 500 (whether it is 500 or more). If it is determined that the maximum acquired number has reached the specified number of 500, the process proceeds to the next step 412. If it is determined that the maximum acquired number has not reached the specified number of 500, The process proceeds to step 414.

In step 412, the special game state stock means 420 turns the stock mission flag ON. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 413.
In step 413, the special gaming state stock means 420 adds 1 to the ART continuing stock number. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 414.
Here, as described above, when the stock mission flag set to the OFF state in the initial state is in the OFF state, the stock mission flag is turned on when the maximum number of acquired sheets reaches the specified number (500). Thereafter, the route from step 411 to step 412 to step 413 is not passed after that (until the maximum number of obtained sheets reaches the specified number (500 sheets)). As a result, when the maximum number of acquired sheets reaches the specified number (500 sheets), only one ART continuous stock number is stocked. After that, the maximum number of acquired sheets reaches the specified number (500 sheets). Even if a game in the game state (ART game state) is performed, since the step 413 is not passed, the number of ART continuing stocks based on the fact that the maximum acquired number has reached the prescribed number (due to mission completion) is not added.
In step 414, the number determination means 370 determines whether or not the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number. If it is determined that the specific acquisition number has reached the maximum acquisition number, the process proceeds to the next step 415. If it is determined that the specific acquisition number has not reached the maximum acquisition number, the processing is finish.

In step 415, the next game is set to the continuous effect game state (battle effect game state). Then, the process ends.
The operation and effect in the present embodiment will be described below.

  According to the present embodiment, during the special gaming state (ART gaming state), the specific acquired number is added by the specific number calculating means 350 and the maximum acquired number is added by the maximum number calculating means 360, respectively. As a result of the game in the special game state (ART game state), when the specific acquisition number is greater than or equal to the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is less than the specified number, the special game state (ART game state) ends in the game. . As a result of the game in the special game state (ART game state), when the specific acquisition number is not less than the maximum acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is not less than the specified number, after the special game state (ART game state) is finished, The special gaming state (ART gaming state) is started. That is, during the special game state (ART game state), the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are added, and the timing at which the maximum acquisition number reaches the specified number is early, or the timing at which the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number is early. Which of these timings is earlier determines whether the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends or whether the special gaming state (ART gaming state) starts again after the end. Will be. As a result, the end mode of the special game state (ART game state) can be changed to various modes, the game property can be changed, and the interest can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, when the special game state (ART game state) is started again after the special game state (ART game state) is ended, the special game state (ART game state) is temporarily ended. Then, after resetting the numerical value of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number used in the special game state (ART game state) to the initial value 0, a new special game state (ART game state) is started. The present invention is not particularly limited to this, and it may be taken over to a special game state (ART game state) in which parameters such as the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are resumed (continued). For example, when the specific acquisition number P reaches the maximum acquisition number P and ends, the initial special number 50 is added to the maximum acquisition number P, and the maximum acquisition number P is set to P + 50. (ART gaming state) may be started.

In the present embodiment, when the maximum acquired number reaches the specified number before the specific acquired number, it is determined that the specified number will reach the specified number before reaching the maximum acquired number substantially in the future. Become.
Therefore, the notification means 70 notifies the player of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number, so that the specific acquisition number will reach the specified number in the future before the specific acquisition number reaches the specified number in the future. After the end of the gaming state (ART gaming state), the player can be made sure that the special gaming state (ART gaming state) has been started again.

  Specifically, when the number of specific acquisitions is 492 and the maximum number of acquisitions is 496, when the combination of symbols related to the watermelon that adds 5 to both is aligned on the active line 86, the specific acquisition The number of sheets is 497, and the maximum number of sheets acquired is 501. At this time, the special game state (ART game state) does not end because the specific acquisition number has not reached the maximum acquisition number, but when the special game state (ART game state) ends, the specific acquisition number is the maximum acquisition number. As a result, the specific acquired number of sheets reaches the prescribed number of 500 sheets.

  According to the present embodiment, after the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number reach the specified number, the specific acquisition number may reach the maximum acquisition number. For this reason, when the specific acquisition number is not equal to or greater than the maximum acquisition number, the information about the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is continuously notified to the player by the notification means 70 even after the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number reach the specified number. Is done. Thereby, the player can clearly recognize the gaming state until the end of the special gaming state (ART gaming state).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18 (E), when the number of specific acquisitions is 496 and the maximum number of acquisitions is 498, a combination of symbols related to a watermelon that adds 5 to both is effective. When aligned on the line 86, the specific acquisition number is 501 and the maximum acquisition number is 503. Even after the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number reach the prescribed number of 500, the special game state (ART game state) is not finished because the specific acquired number is not greater than the maximum acquired number. Even in such a state, the notification means 70 continues to notify the player of information relating to the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number.

  If the specified number is added to both the specific number of acquisitions and the maximum number of acquisitions as a result of a predetermined game such as winning a watermelon or cherry role in a special game state (ART game state), The specific acquisition number does not reach the maximum acquisition number. That is, it is possible to intentionally avoid the special game state (ART game state) from ending due to a predetermined game result in the special game state (ART game state).

  According to the present embodiment, when the combination of symbols relating to the special small combination (so-called rare combination) is aligned on an effective line as a result of the combination lottery, the specific number calculation means 350 adds the predetermined number to the specific acquisition number. Then, the maximum number calculation means 360 adds a predetermined number to the maximum acquired number. When the predetermined number is added to both, the specific acquired number reaches the maximum acquired number and the special game state (ART game state) does not end. The special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends with the game even though the combination of symbols related to the special small role that is difficult to be established is low compared to other small roles. In addition, it is possible to avoid a situation where the subsequent special gaming state (ART gaming state) is not started. Thereby, maintenance of interest can be aimed at.

  According to the present embodiment, the combination of symbols related to a predetermined winning combination is effective when the game is not in the special mode game state (additional zone) in the special game state (ART game state), that is, in the non-specific game state. When they are aligned on line 86, they are added only to the specific number obtained. On the other hand, in the special mode gaming state (additional zone) in the special gaming state (ART gaming state), that is, when the combination of symbols related to the predetermined combination that has been won in the specific gaming state is aligned on the active line 86 , It is added to both the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number. That is, when a transition is made from a non-specific game state to a specific game state (special mode game (additional zone)) during the special game state (ART game state), both the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number are added. It will be switched to addition to. By adding during the specific game state (special mode game (additional zone)), it is possible to prevent the special game state (ART game state) from ending due to the specific acquired number reaching the maximum acquired number. That is, in the middle of the specific gaming state (special mode gaming state (additional zone)), a situation occurs in which the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends and then the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is not resumed. Can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the player becomes disadvantageous due to the transition to the specific gaming state (special mode gaming state (additional zone)) during the special gaming state (ART gaming state). There is no shaving.

According to the present embodiment, when the combination of symbols relating to the first re-playing game is aligned on the effective line 86 and the specific acquisition number is added, the specific acquisition number approaches the maximum acquisition number and the special gaming state (ART The end of the gaming state is approaching.
A special combination that has a lottery probability of the role lottery set lower than that of other small roles, that is, a combination of symbols related to the first cherry role as a so-called rare role, is aligned on the active line 86 and specified. When the addition is performed to both the number and the maximum acquired number, the specific acquired number does not reach the maximum acquired number in the game and the game does not end, and the maximum acquired number approaches the specified number.
In this way, a role such as the first re-playing role that is added only to the specific acquired number of coins when established, and a role such as the first cherry role as a special small role that is added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number Of the loses that are not added to any of them, it will be noted which one is selected by the role lottery. As a result, a new gameability of performing a stop operation in accordance with the player's purpose occurs.
Specifically, for example, a player who does not want to end the special game state (ART game state) as much as possible and wants to extend the special game state (ART game state) as much as possible is added to the specific number of acquisitions. It is not desired to win the first re-playing role that is not added to the maximum number of winnings, but waits for the winning of the first cherry role as a special small role that is added to both the specific winning number and the maximum winning number. And when the special small role (rare role) such as the first cherry role that the player has been waiting for is established, the combination of symbols related to the special small role (rare role) is stopped so as to be aligned on the active line 86 Operate and win the winning combination. In this way, a new gameability according to the player's intention occurs.

According to the present embodiment, the extra lottery means 400 determines, based on the lottery result, whether or not to execute an extra for the special gaming state (ART gaming state), and the extra number at the time of executing the special gaming state ( When it is decided to add to the (ART game state), the maximum number calculating means 360 executes addition to the maximum acquired number.
Specifically, when the addition lottery means 400 decides to add a predetermined number (for example, +30) to the special game state (ART), the maximum number calculation means 360 adds the predetermined number to the maximum acquired number. The specific number calculating means 350 maintains the specific number of acquired sheets without adding them. As a result, only the maximum acquired number can be brought close to the specified number without increasing the specific acquired number, the difference between the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number can be increased, and the specific acquired number reaches the maximum acquired number. It is possible to avoid the end of the special game state (ART game state). As a result, when achieving the mission of reaching the maximum number (500), the player can be in an advantageous state that is profitable.
Further, in the present embodiment, addition to at least one of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number based on the result lottery result of the combination lottery means 130, addition to the maximum acquisition number based on the lottery result of the extra lottery means 400, Both can be executed in one game. For this reason, in one game, the addition process is performed at the two occasions of the extra lottery and the role lottery. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the fun and excitement of the addition multiple times in one game.
Specifically, for example, it is assumed that an extra lottery executed by operating the start switch 40 at the start of a special game is won (acquisition of 30 cards), and then a bell role is established and 11 cards are acquired. In this case, the number (30) to be added to the maximum acquired number is acquired when the game starts, and the number (11) to be added to the specific acquired number is acquired when the game is ended.
In addition, for example, it is assumed that an extra lottery executed by operating the start switch 40 at the start of a special game is won (acquisition of 30 sheets), and then a watermelon role is established and 5 sheets are acquired. In this case, the number (30) to be added to the maximum acquired number at the start of the game is acquired, and the number (5) to be added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number at the end of the game. ).
In other words, in the present embodiment, the timing at which the number acquired in the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number can be acquired in one special game is not limited to once, but can be acquired at a plurality of times. Therefore, a larger number is added to the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number with a smaller number of games, and the progress of the game can be accelerated.

  According to the present embodiment, during the special game state (ART game state), the number calculating means 345 adds the specified payout number equal to the payout number in the game to the specific acquired number when the penalty condition is not satisfied. When the penalty condition is satisfied, a specified payout number larger than the payout number in the game is added to the specific acquired number. The specific acquisition number increases more when the penalty condition is satisfied than when the penalty condition is not satisfied, and the end state of the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is reached faster than the maximum acquisition number. The decision is accelerated (promoted), and as a result, the end of the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is also accelerated. This makes it possible to change the end mode of the special game state (ART game state).

  Since the special gaming state (ART gaming state) can give more benefits to the player than the normal gaming state, the end state of the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is determined earlier and the special gaming state (ART gaming state) As a general rule, it is disadvantageous for the player to complete the (state). That is, if a penalty condition is satisfied and a specified payout number that is larger than the payout number in the game is added to the specific acquisition number, a penalty (penalty) is given to the player for establishing the penalty condition. Can have a meaning. The player advances the game so that the penalty condition is not satisfied so that the penalty is not granted. Thereby, a new gameability can be generated, and interest can be increased with respect to the end condition of the special game state (ART game state).

  In the present embodiment, when the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number before the maximum acquisition number reaches the specified number, the special game state end means 380 determines the end state of the special game state (ART game state). To end the special gaming state (ART gaming state). Further, when the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number after the maximum acquisition number reaches the specified number, the special game state continuation means 390 restarts the end state of the special game state (ART game state) again. decide. By providing the prescribed number in this way, the special game state continuation means 390 determines whether the timing at which the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number is before or after the timing at which the maximum acquisition number reaches the prescribed number. And the determination by the special gaming state ending means 380 are separated, and the termination mode of the special gaming state (ART gaming state) can be different. In other words, the provision of the prescribed number makes it possible to make the timing with which the specific acquired number reaches the maximum acquired number important.

In this embodiment, the penalty condition is established because the player does not perform the stop operation in the recommended stop operation order. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this. The establishment of this penalty condition means that an action that hinders the progress of the game, an inappropriate action to advance the game, or a device outside or inside the gaming machine 10 An action that destroys or damages may be performed. Furthermore, if this penalty condition is satisfied, hitting the gaming machine 10 from the outside, inserting a foreign object inside, operating the operation switch that is not in normal game progression, operating the odd number of times, Operate strange operation methods such as pulling the switch 40, leave a time interval between games for a long time, operate the start switch 40 to start the rotation of the reel 62, and then operate the stop switch 50 It may be set such that it is left as it is. In addition, when implementing them, the sensor for detecting such an action, etc. are needed.
In addition, if it is considered that the progress of the special gaming state (ART gaming state) is obviously obstructed due to the above-mentioned rough operations or fraudulent acts, the specific earned number is made to reach the maximum earned number at once. It is also possible to end the special gaming state (ART gaming state) by adding a large number of possible numbers (for example, 500) to the specific acquired number.

According to the present embodiment, the number calculation means 345 wins the duplicate winning combination (1st special bell to 4th special bell) during the special game state (ART game state) and performs the stop operation in the recommended stop operation order. When the combination of symbols relating to the third bell combination is made on the effective line 86, the specified payout number that is the same as the payout number set for the third bell combination is added to the specific acquired number.
In addition, the number calculating means 345 receives a duplicate winning combination (first special bell to fourth special bell) in the special gaming state (ART gaming state) and performs a stop operation other than the recommended stop operation order. When the combination of symbols related to the bell role is aligned on the effective line 86, the payout number set for the fourth bell role becomes the specified payout number in the game, but from the payout number set for the fourth bell role Eleven of the specified payout number, which is a large number, is added to the specific acquired number.

  Compared to the former (stop operation in the recommended stop operation order), the latter (without stop operation in the recommended stop operation order) increases the specific acquisition number more and reaches the maximum acquisition number sooner and reaches the special game state ( The determination of the end state of the ART game state) is accelerated (promoted), and as a result, the end of the special game state (ART game state) is accelerated. Since the special gaming state (ART gaming state) can give more benefits to the player than the normal gaming state, it is disadvantageous for the player to end the special gaming state (ART gaming state) earlier. .

  In other words, the combination of symbols related to the third bell combination is aligned on the effective line 86 without stopping in the recommended stop operation order, even though the winning combination (first special bell to fourth special bell) is won. If the combination of symbols related to the 4th bell combination is aligned on the effective line 86, 11 specified payout numbers, which are more than the 2 payout numbers set for the 4th bell combination, will be the specific acquired number. Is added. This is a penalty for the player. Such a case is when a penalty condition is satisfied. If the player wins a duplicate winning combination (1st special bell to 4th special bell) so that such a penalty is not awarded, the player will align the combination of symbols related to the 3rd bell on the active line 86 The game is advanced by stopping operation in the recommended stop operation order so that the combination of symbols related to the 4-bell combination is not aligned on the effective line 86. Thereby, a new gameability can be generated, and interest can be increased with respect to the end condition of the special game state (ART game state).

  In the above-described example, it is premised on the duplicate winning combination, and the two combinations of the third bell combination and the fourth bell combination are selected at the same time. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. One specific combination having a recommended stop operation order and having a predetermined number of payouts may be provided. Even in such a case, when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order and the combination of symbols related to the specific combination is aligned on the effective line 86, the same specified payout number as the payout number in the game is In the case where the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order in addition to the specific acquired number, a number (a specified payout number) greater than the payout number (for example, 0) in the game may be added to the specific acquired number. There are substantially the same operations and effects as described above.

  According to the present embodiment, as a result of the role lottery, the first special bell (the third bell role (11 payout) and the fourth bell role (2 payout)) that is a duplicate winning role is won and the recommended stop operation is performed. If the stop operation is not performed in order, the specific number calculating means 350 adds 11 sheets as the specified payout number to the specific acquired number. This prescribed payout number is the same as the payout number set when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order, and is larger than the payout number (2) in the game. By adding such a specified payout number to the specific acquisition number, it is not a penalty of a number that is extremely disadvantageous for the player, and it is also a penalty of a number too small that there is no meaning to give A suitable number of penalties can be given. In addition, since the specified payout number (11 sheets) is also the payout number set when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order, the stored data can be commonly used and stored. Saves capacity.

  In addition, in the case of overlapping winning combinations, if the combination of symbols related to either the third bell role or the fourth bell role to be won at the same time is aligned on the effective line 86, that role is any role. However, the specific number calculating means 350 only has to add 11 as the specified payout number to the specific acquired number, and the processing procedure (control program related to payout) can be simplified.

  In the present embodiment, the penalty condition that the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order is satisfied, and it has a meaning as a penalty. When the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order, (A) the player does not intentionally (intentionally) follow the recommended stop operation order, and (B) the player performs the recommended stop operation. Both (A) and (B) can be considered, which are not noticed in order or are caused by a stop operation error despite trying to perform the stop operation in that way. In the case of (B), it would be harsh for the player to add 50 or 100 sheets to the specified number of acquisitions to make a large penalty, so both (A) and (B) are assumed in this way. In this situation, as in the present embodiment, as the number to be added to the specific acquired number of sheets, adding 11 specified payout numbers equal to the payout number of the third bell role to the specific acquired number is 0 sheets. It does not add any penalty as in the case of addition, nor is a remarkably large penalty as in the case of 100 addition, and it is an appropriate amount of penalty in such a gaming state.

  According to the present embodiment, in the third special game during ART, the number calculation means 345 provides the specified payout when the payout operation is not performed in the recommended stop operation order and the third bell combination of 11 payouts is established. 21 sheets obtained by adding 11 predetermined sheets to 10 sheets are added to the specific acquired number. As a result, rather than adding only the specified payout number, the specific acquisition number is significantly increased, and the end of the special game state (ART game state) is advanced to increase the degree of disadvantage for the player by a predetermined number. Penalties can be granted.

  According to the present embodiment, in the third special game state as the special game state transitioned to during the special game state (ART game state), the third bell is not operated in the recommended stop operation order. When the winning combination is won, 21 as the special total number is added to the specific acquired number by the specific number calculating means 350. For this reason, determination of the end mode of the special game state (ART game state) is earlier than when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop operation order, and as a result, the end of the special game state (ART game state) is accelerated, and the player It will be a big disadvantage for you. In order to avoid such disadvantage, the player performs the stop operation in the recommended stop operation order during the third special game state. Thereby, the order of the stop operation of the player in the special game state can be controlled.

As a result, it is possible to cause the third special game state scheduled in advance to be implemented as intended by the designer.
When the third special game state is stopped in the recommended stop operation order, a plurality of games can be performed, and a special effect corresponding to the plurality of game times can be performed. On the other hand, if the combination of symbols related to the winning combination is not aligned on the effective line 86 without performing the stop operation in the recommended stop operation order, the special game state is ended in the first game and the special game state (ART game state) ) Is designed to return. Since this is disadvantageous for the player, the player advances the game so as not to be in such a state. As a result, the special game state ends earlier than the timing intended by the designer of the gaming machine 10 in advance, and the special performance ends in the middle, returning to the special game state (ART game state). This can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the number determination means 370 determines whether or not the “maximum acquired number” has reached the prescribed number, and the special gaming state continuation means 390 determines that the “maximum acquired number” is determined by the number determination means 370. When it is determined that the specified number has been reached, the special game state is started again after the special game state ends. In the special gaming state, when the specific acquisition number is equal to or greater than the maximum acquisition number and the “maximum acquisition number” is less than the prescribed number, the special gaming state can be ended in the game, and the special gaming state When the specific acquired number is equal to or greater than the maximum acquired number and the “maximum acquired number” is equal to or greater than the specified number, the special game state is started again after the special game state is ended. Here, the “maximum acquired number” is compared with the specified number as a determination target, but is not particularly limited thereto. The above-mentioned “maximum acquired number” may be changed to “specific acquired number”, and this “specific acquired number” may be compared with the specified number. More specifically, the number determination means 370 determines whether or not the “specific acquisition number” has reached the specified number, and the special gaming state continuation means 390 determines that the “specific acquisition number” is the specified number by the number determination means 370. When it is determined that the special gaming state has been reached, the special gaming state is started again after the special gaming state ends. In the special gaming state, when the specific acquisition number is equal to or greater than the maximum acquisition number and the “specific acquisition number” is less than the specified number, the special gaming state can be ended in the game, and the special gaming state The special game state may be started again after the special game state is ended when the specific acquisition number is not less than the maximum acquisition number and the “specific acquisition number” is not less than the specified number.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, when a special small combination (so-called rare combination) is won, a predetermined number is added to both the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number. In other words, in the first embodiment, when the number of specific acquisitions is 490 and the maximum number of acquisitions is 495, if a watermelon role (five payouts) as a special small role is won and awarded, Five sheets are added to both the number of sheets and the maximum acquired number of sheets, so that the specific acquired number of sheets is 495 and the maximum acquired number of sheets is 500 sheets. Achieve the mission of reaching the specified number (500) of the maximum number (the mission clear will be confirmed). However, if the winning combination cannot be won even after winning the watermelon role (so-called missing), the specific acquisition number is 490 and the maximum acquisition number is 495. When the first special bell (11 payouts) is won in the next game and the game result is 11 payouts, 11 is added to the specific acquired number, and the specific acquired number reaches the maximum acquired number. You will not be able to complete the mission. In other words, if a watermelon role is missed, it is not certain that the game will achieve a mission, so the possibility that the player will substantially lose is increased.

In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a special small combination (rare combination) is won as a result of the combination lottery, the maximum number calculating means 360 adds a predetermined number to the maximum acquired number. When the symbols relating to the special small combination (rare combination) are aligned on the effective line 86 and won, the specific number calculating means 350 adds a predetermined number to the specific acquired number.
That is, in the present embodiment, as a result of the lottery, a special winning combination (rare role) is won, a predetermined number is added to the maximum number of winnings, and the special winning combination (rare role) is won to win a specific acquisition. A predetermined number is added to the number of sheets.
Since other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those described in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  The present embodiment will be described with the above-described example. When the specific acquisition number is 490 and the maximum acquisition number is 495, as a result of the role lottery, if a watermelon role (5 payout) as a special small role is won, 5 is added to only the maximum number of acquisitions, the specific acquisition number is 490 and the maximum acquisition number is 500, the maximum acquisition number reaches the specified number (500) and the mission is completed (with mission clear confirmation and Become). If the winning combination is not achieved even if this watermelon combination is won (so-called missing), the specific number of acquired sheets is 490 and the maximum number of acquired sheets is 500. In addition, if the watermelon combination is won and the prize can be won, the specific number obtained is 495 and the maximum number obtained is 500. In other words, if the watermelon combination is won and cannot be won (if it is missed), the player loses the number of the watermelon combination (5). However, in both cases, the winning number has reached the specified number (500) by winning, so the mission has been achieved and the next special gaming state (ART gaming state) immediately after the game ends. The right to resume has been acquired.

In the present embodiment, when the “number” is acquired at a plurality of times, the number is added to the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number every time the acquisition is performed. It should be noted that the number may be added to the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number when the game ends.
In the present embodiment, when the acquired “number of sheets” is displayed by the notification means 70, the displayed number of sheets is updated every time the information is acquired. Note that the number of displayed sheets may be updated collectively when the game is ended.
In the present embodiment, the addition of the number of medals changes stepwise, such as being added to the specific acquired number by winning the same combination and being added to the maximum acquired number by winning or the like. Even if it is missed, a predetermined number is added to the maximum number of winnings just by winning, so in terms of mission achievement, if you miss it as in the first embodiment, you can add more missions than if it is not added to either The likelihood that it can be achieved can be increased. In particular, it can be a certain relief treatment for beginners and elderly people who are inferior to the so-called technology.
Further, according to the present embodiment, in one game, addition processing is performed in two stages, that is, a winning stage and a stage such as winning a prize. This makes it possible to enjoy the fun and excitement of addition multiple times in one game.
In other words, in the present embodiment, the timing at which the number acquired in the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number can be acquired in one special game is not limited to once, but can be acquired at a plurality of times. Therefore, a larger number is added to the specific acquired number and the maximum acquired number with a smaller number of games, and the progress of the game can be accelerated.

(Third embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, when a special small combination (so-called rare combination) is won, a predetermined number is added to both the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number.
As a result of the lottery, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment wins the special small role (rare role), and the symbols related to the special small role (rare role) are aligned on the active line 86 and won. In this case, the specific number calculating means 350 adds the predetermined number to the specific acquired number. The maximum number calculating means 360 maintains the maximum acquired number as it is.

In other words, in the present embodiment, as a result of the role lottery, when a special small role (rare role) is won and a combination of symbols related to the role is aligned on the effective line 86 and awarded, only the specific number of winnings is obtained. A predetermined number is added. As a result of the role lottery, if the winning combination is lost, or if the winning combination is missed without being won, it will not be added to either the specific acquired number or the maximum acquired number.
Since other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those described in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  In the example described above, when the number of specific acquisitions is 490 and the maximum number of acquisitions is 495, as a result of the combination lottery, a watermelon combination (five out) is won and the combination of symbols related to the combination is an effective line. If it is possible to win in line with 86, the specific acquisition number is 495 and the maximum acquisition number is 495, the specific acquisition number reaches the maximum acquisition number and the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ) Ends without resuming. Also, if you lose the watermelon role when the specific acquisition number is 490 and the maximum acquisition number is 495, the specific acquisition number is 490 and the maximum acquisition number is 495, and the special game state of this set (ART gaming state) is not finished yet and is continued. In other words, even if you win the watermelon role, if you dare to drop (and intentionally remove it so as not to win), you will reach the specified number of games without ending the special gaming state (ART gaming state) It is possible to expect the next game to achieve the mission to be performed.

  In the first to third embodiments described above, the display means 84 directly displays the numerical values of the specific acquired number of sheets and the maximum acquired number of sheets. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. If the ratio of the numerical value of the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number is the same, it may not be the number of medals. For example, when the specific acquisition number is 30 and the maximum acquisition number is 100, as a modification, the specific acquisition number may be 60 and the maximum acquisition number is 200, which may be a value that is twice the number of medals. The specific acquisition number may be 300 and the maximum acquisition number may be 1000, which may be 10 times the number of medals.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number displayed on the display means 84 may not be numerical values such as the number of medals, and an image ( A picture or a symbol) may be displayed. For example, a number of figures, symbols, and the like corresponding to the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number may be displayed for the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number, respectively.

  In such a case, whether or not the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number depends on whether or not the number of specific symbols displayed on the specific acquired number is the same as the number of specific symbols displayed on the maximum acquired number It can be determined by When the number of specific symbols, etc. displayed in the specific number of acquisitions is the same as the number of specific symbols, etc., displayed in the maximum acquisition number, the special gaming state (ART gaming state) ends with the game, and the special It is possible to prevent the gaming state (ART gaming state) from being resumed.

Further, whether or not the maximum acquired number has reached the prescribed number is determined by setting the prescribed number to 20 such specific symbols, for example, the number of symbols corresponding to the maximum obtained number is 20. As a result, it is possible to display that the maximum acquired number has reached the specified number (symbol 20).
In addition, for example, the maximum number of acquired images corresponds to the number of square figures (proportional), and the number of specific acquired sheets corresponds to the number of square figures whose black inside is black ( (Proportional) may be used. The fact that all of the square figure inside the white figure is blacked out can represent that the specific acquired number has reached the maximum acquired number.

In the above-described example, it can be expressed that the maximum acquired number has reached the prescribed number (20 square shapes) when the number of the square shapes reaches 20 as the prescribed number.
In this way, even if it is not a direct numerical value (number) indicating the number of medals, if it is displayed with the number of figures such as symbols corresponding to the numerical value (number), the specific acquisition number and the maximum acquisition number It is possible to easily grasp the magnitude relationship between the two by visual observation in an instant.
