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

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

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

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The stop position of each rotating reel is determined in the range of 0 to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range) required from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. Then, the reel control unit 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the position is within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (the pull-in range corresponding to 0 ms to 190 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line, the lottery flag corresponds to the winning combination set in the winning state Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button so that the symbol is displayed at the display position on the active line.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the black 7 symbol “black 7” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , White 7 symbol “white 7”, BAR symbol “BAR”, replay symbol A “RPA”, replay symbol B “RPB”, bell symbol A “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB”, watermelon symbol “WM”, and If the cherry symbol “CH” is arranged and the symbols constituting the winning combination of the symbols are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, they are displayed on the active line regardless of the pressing detection position. Can be made.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control unit 130 obtains the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process), and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the main memory 190M. And a process of determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process).

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

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small combination for a candidate for a stop position when multiple types of small combinations are won by internal lottery. Thus, the priority for the stop position candidates for five frames is determined so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position can win a small role with a larger number of medals to be paid out. However, when a small role with the same number of medals paid out for winning a prize is won, the priorities of the stop position candidates that can win each small role are treated as the same priority. .

  In this embodiment, when any of the 12 types of batting order bells is won, the correct answer bell and the two types of incorrect answer bells are won, but the medal associated with winning the correct answer bell and the incorrect answer bell Since the number of payouts is the same, the priority of the stop position candidate for displaying the symbols constituting the winning form of the correct bell on the active line and the symbols constituting the winning form of the incorrect answer bell on the active line The priority of the candidate stop position to be displayed is the same priority.

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

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

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

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

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any of the 12 types of batting order bells is won in the internal lottery, the number of medals to be paid out for winning the small role included in each batting order bell is the same, so the stop button B1. The priority order is set according to the order of pressing B3. In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a correct hit order is set for each hit order bell, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, when the hitting order bell is won, it is pressed according to the correct hitting order regardless of the order of the stop buttons to be pressed second or later based on the type of the stop button to be pressed first. Since it can be confirmed, when the hitting order bell is won, it is determined whether or not it is pressed in the correct hitting order according to the type of the stop button pressed first. In this embodiment, when any of the 12 types of batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order, the correct bells are won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are selected in the incorrect answer order. When the button is pressed, the number of sliding symbols for the pressing detection position is set so that one of two types of incorrect answer bells wins and the falling blank is displayed without winning any of the winning combinations. In the present embodiment, when the hit order bell L1 to the hit order bell L4 are selected, the correct answer bell A wins in the correct answer order and, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), the invalid position consisting of the upper display position of each reel. When the bell symbols (bell symbol A “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB”) are displayed together on the line (the line that is not subject to winning determination), and the correct hit order is in the winning order of the hit order bell C1 to the hit order bell C4 As shown in FIG. 8 (B), the correct answer bell B wins and the bell symbols are displayed together on the invalid line consisting of the display position in the middle of each reel. When the hit order bell R1 to the hit order bell R4 are selected, the correct answer is displayed. The correct bell C wins in the hitting order, and as shown in FIG. 8C, the bell symbols are displayed together on the invalid line consisting of the display position at the lower stage of each reel.

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the internal lottery, the priority order is set according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order are set for each of the hit order replay A1 to the hit order replay A4, and the stop is different from any correct answer order. The order of pressing the buttons B1 to B3 is treated as an incorrect answer order. In the present embodiment, when any of the batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the first correct answer hit order, the replay C wins and stops in the second correct answer hit order. When the buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the replay D wins, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer hit order, the number of sliding frames for the press detection position is set so that the replay A wins. .

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the batting order replay B1 to the batting order replay B3 is won in the internal lottery, the priority order is set according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9B, the order in which the stop button B1 is first pressed is set as the specific hit order, and the press order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the specific hit order is not specified. Treated as batting order. In the present embodiment, when the hit order replay B1 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific hit order, the replay F or the replay G winning is given priority and the replay F or the replay G is awarded. Otherwise, when the replay A wins and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-specific order, the number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that the replay A wins. Further, in this embodiment, when the striking order replay B2 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the specific striking order, the white 7 symbol “white 7” as shown in FIG. If the Replay E winning in the stop mode is given priority and the Replay E cannot be won, the Replay F, Replay G, or Replay A wins, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-specific stroke order. Then, the number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that Replay A wins. In this embodiment, when the hitting order replay B3 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific hitting order, the white 7 symbol “white 7” as shown in FIG. In the case where it is not possible to display the white 7 symbol “white 7” in double alignment, giving priority to the replay E winning in the stopped mode, the white 7 symbol “white 7” shown in FIG. If the replay E in the stop mode displayed in Priority is given priority and the replay E cannot be won, the replay F, the replay G, or the replay A wins, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-specific stroke order. Then, the number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that Replay A wins.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the main memory 190M, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether the symbol combination is a symbol combination indicating a predetermined winning combination or a predetermined symbol combination that does not indicate a winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the replay A to the replay G, the correct bell A to the correct bell C, the incorrect answer bell A to the incomplete A winning determination table is prepared so that it can be determined whether or not the correct bell H, watermelon and cherry are won, and whether or not a falling blank is displayed. It should be noted that “ANY” in the cherry winning type in FIG. 14 indicates that any symbol may be used.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning process, for example, when a small role wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, the replay process means 160 performs a replay process, and the gaming state When the symbol combination that triggers the transition is displayed, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small role wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a payout according to a predetermined number of predetermined inputs for each role, and medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts Is controlled to be delivered to the hopper unit 320 (dispensing device).

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 15, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state among the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, the third replay time state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state. A game state transition control process is performed. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the first replay time state and the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when a fall blank is displayed in the normal state, the state shifts to the first replay time state, and when the bonus is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the normal state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are referred to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3. Done.

  The first replay time state is a gaming state that transitions when a falling blank is displayed, and the transition from the first replay time state to the second replay time state, the third replay time state, and the bonus establishment state is possible. It has become. Specifically, when the replay C wins in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the second replay time state, and when the replay D wins in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the third replay time state. When the bonus is won in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the first replay time state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is referred to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3. An internal lottery will be held.

  The second replay time state is a gaming state that transitions when the replay C wins, and the second replay time state can be shifted to the first replay time state and the bonus establishment state. Specifically, when a falling blank is displayed in the second replay time state, the process proceeds to the first replay time state, and when the bonus is won in the second replay time state, the process proceeds to the bonus establishment state. Also, in the second replay time state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is referred to the internal lottery table C in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 1.2. An internal lottery will be held.

  The third replay time state is a gaming state that shifts when the replay D wins, and the transition from the third replay time state to the first replay time state and the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when a falling blank is displayed in the third replay time state, the process proceeds to the first replay time state, and when the bonus is won in the third replay time state, the process proceeds to the bonus establishment state. In the third replay time state, the internal lottery table D shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is referred to the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 1.2. An internal lottery will be held.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state in which the first big bonus (BB1), the second big bonus (BB2), or the regular bonus (RB) is won in the internal lottery, and the bonus state is changed from the bonus establishment state. Transition to is possible. Specifically, when any bonus is won in the bonus establishment state, the state shifts to the bonus state. In the bonus establishment state, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 3.8 out of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and any bonus is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table E is performed.

  The bonus state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern of any bonus is displayed on the active line. In the present embodiment, as a bonus state, a big bonus state and a regular bonus state can be set, and a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is an effective line. When it is displayed above, it shifts to the big bonus state, and when the symbol combination indicating the regular bonus (RB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line, it shifts to the regular bonus state. In each bonus state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table F in which small roles are associated with all random numbers among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. Is called. In the bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the other game states in that the small role is always won in the internal lottery.

  In the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and a predetermined number (for example, 300 in the big bonus state, 100 in the regular bonus state) When the medals exceeding the number of medals are paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The communication control unit 175 performs control for transmitting a signal to the sub-board 20. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  First, when the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery, the communication control means 175 performs communication control for notifying the sub board 20 of the result of the internal lottery by transmitting an internal lottery result notification signal to the sub board 20. . When the winning control unit 140 determines the winning combination, the communication control unit 175 outputs a winning combination notification signal to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the type of winning combination. Further, when the bet button B0 is pressed to insert a medal, a game start operation is performed with respect to the start lever SL, or a stop operation is performed with respect to the stop buttons B1 to B3, the communication control unit 175 performs the sub board 20. By outputting an operation notification signal to the player, operations performed by the player such as the bet button B0 being pressed on the sub-board 20, the start lever SL being pressed, and the type of the stop button being pressed To be notified. Further, the communication control means 175 notifies the sub-board 20 of the current gaming state by outputting a main state notification signal to the sub-board 20. The main state notification signal may be transmitted to the sub-board 20 for each game, or may be transmitted to the sub-board 20 every time the game state changes. Regardless of the aforementioned trigger, the communication control means 175 transmits a main state notification signal to the sub-board 20 as necessary.

  Thus, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the effect control means 180 of the sub-board 20 is based on the internal lottery result notification signal, the winning combination notification signal, the operation notification signal, and the main state notification signal output from the main substrate 10. As a result of the internal lottery, the display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform effects according to the type of winning combination, the operation performed by the player, and the current gaming state.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include the effect control means 180 and the sub memory 190S.

  The effect control unit 180 uses the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 195 of the sub memory 190S, and the sound device 340 (an example of the effect device). ) Is used to control the sound effect performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, operation on a bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in gaming state, or a liquid crystal display LCD (display By changing the display content of one example of the device 330 or by outputting sound from a speaker (an example of the acoustic device 340), the execution control of the effect for exciting the game or assisting the game is performed.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 includes a first assist time preparation state (first AT preparation state: preparation state), a first assist time state (first AT state: special effect state), and a second assist time. The production state is changed between a plurality of types of production states including a preparation state (second AT preparation state: preparation state) and a second assist time state (second AT state: special production state), and production is performed under predetermined conditions. Control is performed to set the state to the first AT ready state, the second AT ready state, the first AT state, or the second AT state. In the present embodiment, each effect state is managed by effect flags (first AT preparation flag, first AT flag, second AT preparation flag, second AT flag, etc.) set in the effect flag storage means 200 of the sub memory 190S. It is like that.

  Then, when the production state is the first AT state or the second AT state, the production control means 180 informs the stop button pressing order and assists the winning of the correct bell when the batting order bell is won. A control for causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to perform (winning assistance effect) is performed. Various effects can be adopted as the first winning assistance effect. For example, an effect image for notifying the correct batting order according to the winning batting order bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or according to the winning batting order bell. It is possible to turn on a lamp for notifying the correct hit order, or to output a sound for notifying the correct hit order according to the selected hit order bell from the speaker. In the present embodiment, the correct bell always wins and 15 medals can be obtained when the stop button is pressed according to the correct hit order notified in the first winning assist production. Can increase the number of medals on hand.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the first AT preparation state or the second AT preparation state and the batting order bell is won, the production control means 180 is in the normal state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state. When staying in the replay time state (under the first condition), the first winning assistance effect is not executed on the display device 330 or the sound device 340 in order to shift the gaming state to the first replay time state. When the gaming state stays in the first replay time state (under the second condition), the display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute the first winning assistance effect.

  Then, in the first AT preparation state or the second AT preparation state, the production control unit 180 is configured to perform the sub-operation when the display device 330 or the audio device 340 does not execute the first winning assist production when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery. The first specific condition determination counter (specific counter) 201 or the second specific condition determination counter (specific counter) 202 in the memory 190S is incremented and updated. Particularly in the present embodiment, a value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first prize assist effect for one time each time the first prize assist effect is not executed when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery in the first AT preparation state (this implementation) In the embodiment, “1”) is added to the first specific condition determination counter 201, and the first winning assist effect is not executed every time the first winning assist effect is executed when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery in the second AT preparation state. A value (“1” in this embodiment) corresponding to the number of executions of the winning assist effect is added to the second specific condition determination counter 202.

  In addition, when the production state is the first AT preparation state, the second AT preparation state, or the second AT state, the production control means 180 informs the stop button pressing order when a plurality of replays are won. Control for causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the second winning assist effect for assisting the replay winning of the second replay is performed. Various effects can be adopted as the second winning assistance effect. For example, an effect image informing the correct batting order or specific batting order corresponding to the winning batting order replay is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the winning batting order replay is performed. It is possible to turn on a lamp for informing the correct hit order and the specific hit order according to the sound, or to output a sound for notifying the correct hit order and the specific hit order according to the selected hit order replay from the speaker.

  More specifically, in the normal state, the first replay time state, or the bonus state, the effect control unit 180 is not in any of the first AT preparation state, the second AT preparation state, the first AT state, and the second AT state. In this case, the first AT lottery is performed when the watermelon or cherry is won in the internal lottery. In the first AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the first AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196 of the sub memory 190S. Whether or not the first AT lottery is won is determined according to the comparison result. In the first AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the first AT lottery is the first AT lottery table. If the first AT lottery is won, it is determined that the first AT lottery is won.

  Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the first AT preparation state based on winning the first AT lottery.

  In addition, when any one of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 wins in the first AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 informs the first correct batting order (see FIG. 9A) according to the winning batting order replay and replays. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute a second prize assisting effect that assists the C prize. When the stop button is pressed along the first correct answer hit order notified in the second prize assisting effect, Replay C wins and the gaming state shifts to the second replay time state.

  Then, the production control means 180 changes the production state to the first AT based on the fact that any one of the batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the first AT preparation state (based on the condition for transition to the special production state). Set to state.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 obtains a specific value based on the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 based on the fact that any one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 is won in the first AT preparation state. Processing for setting to an end determination counter (end condition determination counter) 197 (setting the count number counted by the end condition determination counter before reaching the threshold value related to the end condition of the special performance state based on the value of the specific counter) I do. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the result of the first AT lottery is winning, the initial value set in the first AT end determination counter 197 is a value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for 30 times “30”. Is set, and a value obtained by adding the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 to the initial value is set as the specific value. For example, when the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is “0” which is the initial value, “30” (= 30 + 0) is set in the first AT end determination counter 197 and the first specific condition determination counter 201 is set. When the value of “1” is a value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for one time, “31” (= 30 + 1) is set in the first AT end determination counter 197 and the first identification is made. When the value of the condition determination counter 201 is “2”, which is a value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for two times, “32” (= 30 + 2) is set in the first AT end determination counter 197. .

  In addition, when any bonus is won in the first AT preparation state, the effect control unit 180 determines that the update interruption condition of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is satisfied. While maintaining the value of the condition determination counter 201, the updating of the increment relating to the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is interrupted, and the game in the first AT preparation state is resumed when the bonus state ends, and the first specific condition determination counter 201 increment update is resumed.

  Further, the effect control unit 180 determines the end condition of the first AT state based on the value of the first AT end determination counter 197, and performs control to end the first AT state when the end condition of the first AT state is satisfied. In particular, in the present embodiment, the value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning auxiliary effect for one time from the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 every time the effect control means 180 wins the batting order bell in the internal lottery in the first AT state. (In this embodiment, “1”) is decremented. In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the first AT end determination counter 197 is started from the next game of the game in which one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 is won in the first AT preparation state. Then, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 reaches a threshold value (“0” in the present embodiment), the effect control means 180 determines that the end condition for the first AT state is satisfied and determines that the first AT state End.

  In the present embodiment, if any bonus is won in the first AT state, it is determined that the update interruption condition of the first AT end determination counter 197 is satisfied. In this case, the first AT end determination counter 197 is determined. The decrement update regarding the value of the value is interrupted, the production state is set to the first AT ready state, and after the bonus state is finished, the game state is returned to the second replay time state, and the production state is returned to the first AT state. The decrement update of the first AT end determination counter 197 is resumed and the game for the undigested portion is performed. In this case, in the first AT preparation state until the effect state is returned to the first AT state, the first specific condition determination counter 201 is incremented and updated in the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 in the first AT preparation state. Based on the winning of one of them, a specific value based on the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is set in the first AT end determination counter 197 (end by reaching the threshold value related to the end condition of the special performance state) The number of counts counted by the condition determination counter is set based on the value of the specific counter. In particular, in the present embodiment, the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is added (set) to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 as a specific value.

  In addition, when the production state is the first AT state, the production control means 180 performs an extra lottery and a second AT lottery with an opportunity that a watermelon or cherry is won in the internal lottery. In the extra lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the first extra lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196, and the comparison result In accordance with the above, it is determined whether or not the lottery is won. In the first extra lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either “3”, “5”, “10” or lost. If the random number value acquired in the extra lottery is associated with winning in the first extra lottery table, it is determined that the extra lottery has been won. Then, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a value corresponding to the lottery result to the first AT end determination counter 197 based on the winning of the extra lottery. For example, when a winning result of “3” is obtained in the extra lottery, “3” is added to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197, and a winning result of “5” is obtained in the extra lottery. For example, “5” is added to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197, and “10” is added to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 when the winning result of “10” is obtained by the extra lottery. .

  In the second AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random value is compared with the second AT lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196 for comparison. It is determined whether or not the second AT lottery is won according to the result. In the second AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the second AT lottery is the second AT lottery table. If it is associated with winning, it is determined that the second AT lottery has been won.

  Then, based on the fact that the second AT lottery has been won, the effect control means 180 determines that the interruption condition for the first AT state has been established, and maintains the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 while setting the effect state to the second AT preparation. Set to state. In the second replay time state, if the production state is set to the second AT preparation state, the first winning assistance production is not executed when the batting order bell is won, so the second specific condition determination counter 202 is incremented and falls. When the blank is displayed, the gaming state shifts to the first replay time state.

  Then, when any one of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 wins in the second AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 informs the second correct batting order (see FIG. 9A) according to the winning batting order replay and replays. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute a second winning assistance effect that assists the winning of D. When the stop button is pressed along the second correct answer hit order notified in the second prize assisting effect, the replay D wins and the gaming state shifts to the third replay time state.

  Then, the effect control means 180 changes the effect state to the second AT based on the fact that any one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 is won in the second AT preparation state (based on the condition that the transition to the special effect state is established). Set to state.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 obtains a specific value based on the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 based on the fact that any one of the batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the second AT preparation state. Processing for setting in the end determination counter (end condition determination counter) 198 (setting the count number counted by the end condition determination counter until the threshold value related to the end condition in the special performance state is reached based on the value of the specific counter) I do. In particular, in this embodiment, “10”, which is a value corresponding to the number of games for 10 times, is set as an initial value to be set in the second AT end determination counter 198 when the result of the second AT lottery is winning. A value obtained by adding a value corresponding to the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 to the initial value is set as the specific value. Here, in the present embodiment, in the normal state, the first replay time state to the third replay time state, and the bonus internal middle state, the winning probability of the entire batting order bell, which is the sum of the winning probabilities of each batting order bell, is about 1/5. Since it is set, “5” corresponding to the number of games for five times is added to the unit value (“1” in the present embodiment) corresponding to the number of games for one time of the second specific condition determination counter 202. For example, when the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is “0” which is the initial value, “10” (= 10 + 0) is set in the second AT end determination counter 198, When the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is “1”, which is a value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for one time, “15” (= 10 + 5) in the second AT end determination counter 198. The If the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is “2”, which is a value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for two times, “20” ( = 10 + 10).

  In addition, when any bonus is won in the second AT preparation state, the effect control unit 180 determines that the update interruption condition of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is satisfied. While maintaining the value of the condition determination counter 202, the increment update regarding the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is interrupted, and the game in the second AT preparation state is resumed with the end of the bonus state as a trigger. The increment update of 202 is resumed.

  In addition, the effect control unit 180 determines the end condition of the second AT state based on the value of the second AT end determination counter 198, and performs control to end the second AT state when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied. In particular, in the present embodiment, the production control means 180 has a value corresponding to the number of games for one time from the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 every time a game in the second AT state is performed (in this embodiment, “1”). ) Is decremented. In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the second AT end determination counter 198 is started from the next game of the game in which one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 is won in the second AT preparation state. Then, when the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (“0” in this embodiment), the effect control means 180 determines that the end condition for the second AT state is satisfied and determines that the second AT state And the production state is set to the first AT preparation state. In the third replay time state, when the production state is set to the first AT preparation state, the first winning assistance production is not executed when the batting order bell is won, so the first specific condition determination counter 201 is incremented and falls. When the blank is displayed, the gaming state shifts to the first replay time state. Then, the effect control means 180 returns the effect state to the first AT state based on the fact that any one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 is won in the first AT preparation state, and resumes the game in the first AT state. At this time, the effect control means 180 sets a specific value based on the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 in the first AT end determination counter 197 (the end condition determination until the threshold value related to the end condition of the special effect state is reached). The number of counts counted by the counter is set based on the value of the specific counter). In particular, in the present embodiment, when the game in the interrupted first AT state is resumed with the end of the game in the second AT state, the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is set as the specific value to the first AT end determination counter. Add (set) to the value of 197. As a result, the specific value is added to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 held when the interruption condition for the first AT state is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, if any bonus is won in the second AT state, it is determined that the update interruption condition of the second AT end determination counter 198 is satisfied. In this case, the second AT end determination counter 198 is determined. The decrement update regarding the value of the value is interrupted, the production state is set to the second AT ready state, and after the bonus state is finished, the game state is returned to the third replay time state, and the production state is returned to the second AT state. The decrement update of the second AT end determination counter 198 is resumed, and the game for the undigested portion is performed. In this case, the second specific condition determination counter 202 is incremented and updated in the second AT preparation state until the effect state is returned to the second AT state, and the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 are performed in the second AT preparation state. Based on the winning of either one, a specific value based on the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is set in the second AT end determination counter 198 (end before reaching the threshold value related to the end condition of the special performance state) The number of counts counted by the condition determination counter is set based on the value of the specific counter. In particular, in the present embodiment, a value in which “5” is associated with the unit value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 (“1” in the present embodiment) (the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is multiplied by five). Is added (set) to the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 as a specific value.

  In addition, when the batting order replay B2 or batting order replay B3 is won in the second AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the specific batting order (see FIG. 9B) and displays the second winning assist effect that assists the replay E winning. The device 330 and the sound device 340 are executed.

  In addition, when the production state is the second AT state, the production control means 180 performs the lottery with the opportunity that the watermelon, cherry, batting order replay B2 or batting order replay B3 is won in the internal lottery. In the extra lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the second extra lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196, and the comparison result In accordance with the above, it is determined whether or not the lottery is won. In the second extra lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with one of “3”, “5”, and “10”. In the case where the random number obtained in the extra lottery is associated with winning in the second extra lottery table, it is determined that the extra lottery has been won. Then, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a value corresponding to the lottery result to the first AT end determination counter 197 based on the winning of the extra lottery. Note that a value corresponding to the lottery result may be added to the second AT end determination counter 198 based on the winning of the extra lottery.

  Further, the production control means 180 is used when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 is first stopped in a game in which the production state is not any of the first AT preparation state, the second AT preparation state, the first AT state, and the second AT state. A penalty process is performed to generate a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player. Penalty processing includes, for example, processing for prohibiting the execution of the first AT lottery until a certain number of games are consumed, processing for discarding the result of the first AT lottery until the certain number of games are consumed, and winning the first AT lottery. Even so, it is possible to perform a process of deferring the transition to the first AT preparation state until a certain number of games have been consumed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the production state is not any of the first AT preparation state, the second AT preparation state, the first AT state, and the second AT state, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed, Alternatively, there is a penalty that the opportunity to transition to the first AT ready state is lost, or the transition to the first AT state or the first AT ready state is delayed until a certain number of games are consumed.

  Note that the functions of this embodiment can be virtually realized by a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the main board 10 or the sub board 20 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD or a Web server on the Internet via the network, the function is achieved. Can be realized. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Method of the present embodiment In the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won in the first AT ready state or the second AT ready state, if the gaming state stays in the first replay time state, the winning of the correct bell is assisted. The display device 330 or the audio device 340 executes the first winning assist effect to be performed. However, when the gaming state stays in the normal state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state, the gaming state is set to normal. In the game in the first AT state or the second AT state, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is not allowed to execute the first winning assist effect in order to shift to the state, and the first winning assist effect corresponding to the number of times that the first winning assist effect has not been executed. A method to compensate and execute is adopted. Below, the method of this embodiment is demonstrated concretely, referring the flowchart shown in FIGS.

  First, in the normal state, the first replay time state, or the bonus state, when the production state is not any of the first AT preparation state, the second AT preparation state, the first AT state, and the second AT state, the watermelon or cherry is won by the internal lottery. When winning the first AT lottery performed with this as an opportunity, the production state is set to the first AT preparation state.

  When the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state, the process shown in FIG. 16 is performed.

  First, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S100), if the gaming state stays in the first replay time state (Y in step S101), the order of pressing the stop button is notified and the correct bell The first winning assistance effect for assisting the winning is executed (step S102), while the gaming state does not stay in the first replay time state (the normal state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state). In the case of staying) (N in step S101), the first winning assistance effect is not executed, and “1” is determined as the value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assistance effect for the first specific condition determination. Incremental update to be added to the counter 201 is performed (step S103).

  Also, if any of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S104), the first correct answer batting order corresponding to the selected batting order replay is notified to assist the winning of replay C. An effect is executed (step S105), and the effect state is set to the first AT state (step S106). Then, the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is checked. If the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is a threshold value (“0” in the present embodiment) (Y in step S107), the initial value is set. The value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is added to (added to) “30” to calculate the specific value “C1” (step S108), and the calculated specific value “C1” ends the first AT. The value is set in the determination counter 197, and the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is reset to an initial value (“0” in the present embodiment) (step S109). On the other hand, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is not a threshold value (when the game in the interrupted first AT state is resumed with the end of the game in the second AT state, or when the game in the bonus state is resumed) When the game in the interrupted first AT state is resumed at the end (N in step S107), the value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is set to the specific value “C1” and the first AT ends. The value is added (set) to the value of the determination counter 197, and the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is reset to the initial value (step S110).

  When the effect state is set to the first AT state, the process shown in FIG. 17 is performed.

  First, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S200), a first winning assist effect that notifies the stop button pressing order and assists in winning the correct bell is executed (step S201), and the first AT end determination counter Decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (“1” in the present embodiment) corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for one time from the value of 197 (step S202). When the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 reaches a threshold value (“0” in the present embodiment) (Y in step S203), the first AT state ends (step S204).

  If a watermelon or cherry is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S205), a second AT lottery is performed (step S206). When the second AT lottery is won (Y in step S207), the effect state is set to the second AT preparation state while maintaining the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 (step S208).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the first AT preparation state, when the first winning assistance effect is not executed in order to shift the gaming state to the first replay time state when the batting order bell is won, the first specific condition The determination counter 201 is incremented and updated, and the first winning assist effect for the number of times counted by the first specific condition determining counter 201 is displayed in the first AT state in which the end condition is managed by the number of executions of the first winning assist effect. In the game, in order to be added to the number of executions of the first winning auxiliary effect for 30 times that is the initial value, the first winning auxiliary effect for the number of times counted by the first specific condition determination counter 201 is set to the first AT state. In the game in the first AT, when the winning order of the batting order bell that occurred in the game in the first AT ready state Loss that effect has not been performed, it is possible to compensate the gaming in the 1AT state. In other words, in this embodiment, after winning the 1st AT lottery, the 1st prize assisting effect is executed at the time of winning the batting order bell. Since there is a possibility that the winning of a small role may be missed due to the fact that the 1st prize assisting effect is not executed, the fact that the first winning award assisting effect itself is not executed regardless of whether or not any of the small roles has won is a player. If it sees, it is trying to make up for the loss because it is a loss.

  Then, when the effect state is set to the second AT preparation state, the process shown in FIG. 18 is performed.

  First, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S300), if the gaming state stays in the first replay time state (Y in step S301), the order of pressing the stop button is notified and the correct bell The first winning assistance effect for assisting the winning is executed (step S302), while the gaming state does not stay in the first replay time state (in the normal state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state). In the case of staying) (N in step S301), the first winning assistance effect is not executed, and “1” is determined as the value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assistance effect for the second specific condition determination. Incremental update to be added to the counter 202 is performed (step S303).

  In addition, when any one of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S304), the second correct answer batting order corresponding to the winning batting order replay is notified to assist the winning of replay D. An effect is executed (step S305), and the effect state is set to the second AT state (step S306). Then, the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is checked. If the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is a threshold value (“0” in the present embodiment) (Y in step S307), the initial value is set. Is added (added) to a value obtained by multiplying the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202 by five (10), and the specific value “C2” is calculated (step S308), and the calculated specific value “C2” is calculated. "Is set in the second AT end determination counter 198, and the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is reset to an initial value (" 0 "in the present embodiment) (step S309). On the other hand, when the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is not a threshold value (when the game in the second AT state that was interrupted is resumed with the end of the game in the bonus state) (N in step S307). A value obtained by multiplying the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202 by 5 is added (set) to the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 as the specific value “C2”, and the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is The initial value is reset (step S310).

  Then, when the effect state is set to the second AT state, the process shown in FIG. 19 is performed.

  First, when the start lever SL is pressed (step S400), a decrement update is performed to subtract a value corresponding to the number of games for one game (in this embodiment, “1”) from the value of the second AT end determination counter 198. (Step S401).

  Then, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery performed when the start lever SL is pressed (Y in step S402), the first winning assist effect is executed to inform the stop button pressing order and assist the winning of the correct bell. (Step S403).

  When the value of second AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (“0” in this embodiment) (Y in step S404), the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state (step S405).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the second AT preparation state, when the first winning assist effect is not executed in order to shift the gaming state to the first replay time state when the batting order bell is won, the second specific condition In the game in the second AT state in which the determination counter 202 is incremented and the end condition is managed by the number of games, the number of games counted by the second specific condition determination counter 202 is added to the initial number of games of 10 times. Since the game in the second AT state is extended by the added number of games by converting to the number of games, the first number of times counted by the second specific condition determination counter 202 is added. Winning assist effects can be supplemented and executed in games in the second AT state, and can be performed in games in the second AT preparation state. Was, the loss of first prize auxiliary effect was not performed when the batting order Bell prize can be filled in the game in the first 2AT state.

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

3-1. Modification 1
In the above embodiment, the specific value “C1” based on the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is set in the first AT end determination counter 197, and in the first AT state, the first order is determined based on the fact that the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery. The case where the decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to the number of times of execution of the first winning assist effect for one time from the value of the 1AT end determination counter 197 has been described as an example. The threshold value of the first AT end determination counter 197 related to the end condition of the 1AT state is set (the count value counted by the end condition determination counter until the threshold value related to the end condition of the special performance state is reached) In the first AT state, the number of executions of the first prize-winning auxiliary effect is calculated based on the winning of the batting order bell in the internal lottery. A value that may perform increment update that adds to the 1AT end determination counter 197.

  Similarly, based on the second specific condition determination counter 202, the threshold value of the second AT end determination counter 198 related to the end condition of the second AT state is set (the process ends before reaching the threshold value related to the end condition of the special performance state) In the second AT state, a value corresponding to one game count is added to the first AT end determination counter 197 every time a game is played. Incremental updating may be performed.

  In this example, when the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state, the process shown in FIG. 20 is performed. Specifically, when any one of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S504), the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is checked, and the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is the initial value. (In this modification, “0”) (Y in step S507), the value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is added (added) to the initial value “30”. The threshold value “D1” is set (step S508), and the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is reset to the initial value (step S509). On the other hand, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is not the initial value (when the game in the interrupted first AT state is resumed with the end of the game in the second AT state, or the game ends in the bonus state) Accordingly, when the game in the interrupted first AT state is resumed (N in step S507), the value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is added to (added to) the threshold value “D1”. ) And the threshold value “D1” is reset, and the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is reset to the initial value (step S510).

  Then, when the effect state is set to the first AT state, the process shown in FIG. 21 is performed.

  Specifically, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S600), the first winning assist effect is executed for notifying the pressing order of the stop button and assisting in winning the correct bell (step S601). An increment update is performed in which a value corresponding to the number of executions of the first winning assist effect (“1” in this modification) is added to the first AT end determination counter 197 (step S602). When the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 reaches the threshold value “D1” (Y in step S603), the first AT state ends (step S604). At this time, the first AT end determination counter 197 and the second AT end determination counter 198 are reset to initial values (“0” in this modification).

  Then, when the effect state is set to the second AT preparation state, the process shown in FIG. 22 is performed.

  Specifically, when any one of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S704), the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is checked, and the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is the initial value. (In this modification, “0”) (Y in step S707), the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is added to the initial value “10” by five ( Then, the threshold value “D2” is set (step S708), and the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is reset to the initial value (step S709). On the other hand, when the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is not the threshold value (when the game in the interrupted second AT state is resumed with the end of the game in the bonus state) (N in step S707). A value obtained by multiplying the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202 by 5 is added (added) to the threshold value “D2” to reset the threshold value “D2”, and the second specific condition determination counter 202 Is reset to the initial value (step S710).

  Then, when the effect state is set to the second AT state, the process shown in FIG. 23 is performed.

  Specifically, when the start lever SL is pressed (step S800), an increment update is performed in which a value corresponding to the number of games for one game (in this modification, “1”) is added to the second AT end determination counter 198. When the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 reaches the threshold value “D2” (Y in step S804), the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state (step S805). At this time, the second AT end determination counter 198 is reset to the initial value.

  Even in this way, the first winning assistance effect for the number of times counted by the specific condition determination counter can be supplemented and executed in the game in the AT state, and the loss generated in the game in the AT preparation state can be Can be compensated in the game in the state.

In the above embodiment, in the first AT preparation state, when the first winning assistance effect is not executed on the display device 330 or the audio device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first specific condition determination counter 201 In the case where the increment update is performed as an example, in the first AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, when the display device 330 or the audio device 340 does not execute the first winning assist effect, You may make it perform the increment update of the 1st specific condition determination counter 201 on condition that the correct bell did not win.

  Similarly, in the 2nd AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, if the first winning assistance effect is not executed by the display device 330 or the sound device 340, the correct bell is not won. You may make it perform the increment update of the 2nd specific condition determination counter 202. FIG. It is determined by the winning determination means 140 whether or not the correct answer bell has been won.

  In this example, after winning the 1st AT lottery, the 1st prize assist performance is executed at the time of winning the batting order bell. Since the player has missed winning the correct answer bell due to the fact that the performance is not executed, the loss is compensated as a loss for the player. In other words, if the first prize assisting effect is not executed but the correct bell winning can be achieved, it is assumed that no loss has occurred, and the first specific condition determination counter 201 or the second specific condition determination is performed. Incremental updating of the counter 202 is not performed. According to this modification, it is possible to supplement and execute the first winning assistance effect for the number of times counted by the specific condition determination counter in the game in the AT state, and this occurred in the game in the AT preparation state. Loss can be compensated in games in the AT state.

3-3. Modification 3
In the above embodiment, in the first AT preparation state, when the first winning assistance effect is not executed on the display device 330 or the audio device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first specific condition determination counter 201 In the case where the increment update is performed as an example, in the first AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, when the display device 330 or the audio device 340 does not execute the first winning assist effect, You may make it perform the increment update of the 1st specific condition determination counter 201 on condition that none of the small combinations won.

  Similarly, in the second AT preparation state, when the batting order bell was won in the internal lottery, if the display device 330 or the sound device 340 was not executed for the first prize assisting effect, it was confirmed that none of the small roles was won. As a condition, the second specific condition determination counter 202 may be incremented and updated. Whether or not any winning combination has been won is determined by the winning determination means 140.

  In this example, after winning the 1st AT lottery, the 1st prize assist performance is executed at the time of winning the batting order bell. Since the player has missed the winning of the small role due to the fact that the performance is not executed, it is assumed that it is a loss for the player, and the loss is compensated. In other words, if the first prize assisting effect is not executed, but if any of the small roles (correct answer bell or incorrect answer bell) can be achieved, it is assumed that no such loss has occurred. Incremental updating of the specific condition determination counter 201 or the second specific condition determination counter 202 is not performed. According to this modification, it is possible to supplement and execute the first winning assistance effect for the number of times counted by the specific condition determination counter in the game in the AT state, and this occurred in the game in the AT preparation state. Loss can be compensated in games in the AT state.

3-4. Modification 4
In the above embodiment, in the first AT preparation state, when the first winning assistance effect is not executed on the display device 330 or the audio device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first specific condition determination counter 201 In the case where the increment update is performed as an example, in the first AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, when the display device 330 or the audio device 340 does not execute the first winning assist effect, You may make it perform the increment update of the 1st specific condition determination counter 201 on the condition that a correct answer bell wins.

  Similarly, in the second AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, if the first winning assistance effect is not executed by the display device 330 or the sound device 340, the second answer is that the correct bell is won. Incremental updating of the specific condition determination counter 202 may be performed. It is determined by the winning determination means 140 whether or not the correct answer bell has been won.

  According to the present modification, the first winning assistance effect for the number of times counted by the specific condition determination counter can be supplemented and executed in the game in the AT state, and the batting order generated in the game in the AT preparation state The loss that the first prize assist performance was not performed at the time of winning the bell can be compensated for in the game in the AT state, and the player must correct the stop button operation order by himself when winning the batting order bell Thus, it is possible to provide a game property that a medal can be obtained and the number of executions of the first prize assist effect can be increased.

3-5. Modification 5
In the above embodiment, in the first AT preparation state, when the first winning assistance effect is not executed on the display device 330 or the audio device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first specific condition determination counter 201 In the case where the increment update is performed as an example, in the first AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, when the display device 330 or the audio device 340 does not execute the first winning assist effect, The first specific condition determination counter 201 may be incremented and updated on condition that any small combination wins.

  Similarly, in the second AT preparation state, if the first winning assistance effect is not executed by the display device 330 or the sound device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, one of the small roles has won a prize. As an alternative, the second specific condition determination counter 202 may be incremented. It is determined by the winning determination means 140 whether or not any small combination has won.

  In this example, in the normal state, when the play state is set to the first AT preparation state or the second AT preparation state, if any small role wins when winning the batting order bell, the falling blank is not displayed. The player will continue to stay in the normal state with a low replay winning probability, and the game in the first AT ready state or the second AT state will continue with a low replay winning probability. Since the amount of medals consumed can be larger than the case where the first prize-winning effect is not executed, it is assumed that it is a loss for the player that the small role won and the falling blank was not displayed. I try to make up for the loss. In other words, if the first winning assistance effect is not executed, but no small role is won and a falling blank is displayed, it is assumed that no loss has occurred and the first specific condition determination counter 201 or the second Incremental updating of the specific condition determination counter 202 is not performed. According to this modification, it is possible to supplement and execute the first winning assistance effect for the number of times counted by the specific condition determination counter in the game in the AT state, and this occurred in the game in the AT preparation state. Loss can be compensated in games in the AT state.

  In this modification, there are cases where the production state is set to the second AT preparation state in the second replay time state, and the production state is set to the first AT preparation state in the third replay time state. In the 2 replay time state and the 3rd replay time state, since the winning probability of replay is high, the first winning assistance effect is displayed on the display device 330 and the sound device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal AT lottery in the first AT preparation state. If not executed, the first specific condition determination counter 201 is incremented and updated on the condition that the gaming state is the normal state and one of the small roles has been won, and similarly, in the second AT preparation state When the first winning assistance effect is not executed by the display device 330 or the sound device 340 when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery In game mode normal state, and it may perform increment updating of the second specific condition determination counter 202 on condition that one of the small winning combination has been won.

3-6. Modification 6
In the above embodiment, the specific value “C1” (the value obtained by adding the value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 to the initial value “30”) based on the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is the first AT. The case of setting to the end determination counter 197 has been described as an example, but the value of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is at any timing as long as it is from the start to the end of the game in the first AT state. Is set in the first AT end determination counter 197 (the count number counted by the end condition determination counter until the threshold value related to the end condition in the special performance state is reached is set based on the value of the specific counter) Setting). For example, when starting a game in the first AT state, the initial value “30” is set in the first AT end determination counter 197, and at any timing until the game in the first AT state ends. The value “N1” of the one specific condition determination counter 201 may be added (set) to the first AT end determination counter 197 as the specific value “C1”.

  Similarly, the specific value “C2” based on the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is set to the second AT end determination counter 198 at any timing as long as it is between the start and end of the game in the second AT state. (The count number counted by the end condition determination counter before reaching the threshold value related to the end condition of the special performance state is set based on the value of the specific counter), for example, in the second AT state When the game is started at the second AT end determination counter 198, the initial value “10” is set, and at any timing until the game ends in the second AT state, the second specific condition determination counter A value obtained by multiplying the value “N2” of 202 by 5 may be added (set) to the second AT end determination counter 198 as the specific value “C2”.

3-7. Modification 7
In the above embodiment, the initial value is obtained by multiplying the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202 by 5 on the basis of the winning probability (about 1/5) of the entire batting order bell obtained by adding the winning probabilities of each batting order bell. The case where the value added to “10” is set as the specific value “C2” in the second AT end determination counter 198 has been described as an example, but the specific value is based on the net increase in the number of medals in one game. “C2” may be set. For example, when the game state is set to the third replay time state and the effect state is set to the second AT state, the net increase in the number of medals in one game is set to about two. By pressing the stop button in accordance with the first prize assisting effect, 15 medals can be obtained by winning the correct answer bell for the insertion of 3 medals, and 12 medals can be increased. Become. Then, in a game in which the net increase in the number of medals in one game is set to about 2, in order to increase the number of 12 medals, 6 games are required, so the value of the second specific condition determination counter 202 A value obtained by multiplying “N2” by 6 with an initial value “10” may be set as the specific value “C2” in the second AT end determination counter 198.

  In the above-described embodiment, a value equal to or greater than the above-described value can be used as long as at least the first winning assist effect counted by the second specific condition determination counter 202 can be supplemented and executed in the second AT state. The specific value “C2” may be set in the second AT end determination counter 198. For example, when the specific value “C2” is set based on the net increase in the number of medals in one game described above, and the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202 is “1”, A value equal to or greater than “16” (= 10 + 6) may be selected by lottery, and the selected value may be set in the second AT end determination counter 198 as the specific value C2.

  Similarly, if the first winning assistance effect at least counted by the first specific condition determination counter 201 can be supplemented and executed in the first AT state, a value equal to or higher than the above-described value can be set. C1 ”may be set in the first AT end determination counter 197. For example, when the value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 is “1”, a value of “31” (= 30 + 1) or more is selected by lottery, and the selected value is set as the specific value C1. The first AT end determination counter 197 may be set.

3-8. Modification 8
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the first winning assist effect for the number of times counted by the second specific condition determination counter 202 is supplemented and executed in the game in the second AT state has been described as an example. The first winning assistance effects for the number of times counted by the determination counter 202 may be supplemented and executed in the game in the first AT state. In this example, when starting the game in the second AT state, the specific value “C2” (for example, “10” which is the initial value) is set to the first value without considering the value “N2” of the second specific condition determination counter 202. Set in the 2AT end determination counter 198, and when the game in the interrupted first AT state is resumed with the end of the game in the second AT state, the value “N1” of the first specific condition determination counter 201 and the second The value “N2” of the specific condition determination counter 202 is added (set) to the first AT end determination counter 197.

3-9. Modification 9
In the above embodiment, the case where the correct-bell payout and the incorrect-bell payout are the same number has been described as an example, but the incorrect-bell payout may be set lower than the correct-bell payout.

3-10. Modification 10
In the above embodiment, in the first AT preparation state or the second AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, in principle, the first order for assisting the winning of the correct answer bell by notifying the pressing order of the stop button. The display device 330 or the sound device 340 is caused to execute a winning assist effect, but exceptionally, when the gaming state stays in the normal state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state, the gaming state is changed. Although the case where the first winning assist effect is not executed in order to shift to the first replay time state has been described as an example, in the first AT preparation state and the second AT preparation state, even if the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first The first specific condition determination is made when a winning order bell is won in the internal lottery in the first AT preparation state or the second AT preparation state so that the winning assistance effect is not executed. It may perform increment updating of counter 201 or the second specific condition determination counter 202.

3-11. Modification 11
In the above embodiment, the case where the game in the first AT state and the game in the second AT state are executed in different game states has been described as an example. However, the game may be executed in the same game state. For example, a normal state, a bonus establishment state, and a bonus state are provided as game states, and a game in the first AT preparation state, the first AT state, the second AT preparation state, or the second AT state is executed in the bonus establishment state. You may do it. In this example, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery so that a small role or replay is always won in the bonus establishment state, and the reel control means 130 has won both the bonus and the small combination in the bonus establishment state. Then, when a stop operation is performed in a mode in which the small role cannot be won, the spinning reel is stopped so that the bonus can be won, or the small role is always won by avoiding the bonus winning. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel, and the communication control means 175 notifies the hall computer (external device) and the data counter (external device) that the production state is in the first AT state. To notify the hall computer or the data counter that the presentation state is staying in the second AT state. It performs control for outputting a specific signal. In the bonus state, when the specified number of insertions is changed to two (second number of insertions) or one (third number of insertions), and the prescribed number of insertions is set to two or one, Set the dividends for all small roles below the specified number of inputs. In this way, since medals do not increase in the bonus state, in the bonus establishment state, the production state (normal production) in which the production state is not any of the first AT preparation state, the second AT preparation state, the first AT state, and the second AT state. The game is set to (state), and the production control means 180 performs the first AT lottery when the production state is set to the normal production state in the bonus establishment state, and the first AT lottery is won. The production state is set to the first AT state based on the fact that the second AT lottery is performed in the first AT state, the production state is set to the second AT preparation state based on the winning of the second AT lottery, and the second AT preparation state is established. The production state is set to the second AT state based on the fact that the start condition for the second AT state is established. Then, the communication control means 175 starts outputting the first specific signal based on the fact that the correct bell has continuously won a predetermined number of times in the game won by the batting order bell, and wins the correct bell in the game won by the batting order bell. The output of the first specific signal is stopped based on the fact that it has missed consecutively a predetermined number of times, and in the second AT preparation state, when the batting order bell is won in the second AT preparation state, the correct bell is continuously won a predetermined number of times. Until it is missed (under the first condition), the first prize assisting effect is not executed in order to stop the output of the first specific signal, and thereafter (under the second condition) Auxiliary performance is executed. In this example as well, in the second AT preparation state, the first winning assistance effect for the number of times not executed in order to stop the output of the first specific signal can be supplemented and executed in the game in the second AT state. The loss generated in the game in the second AT ready state can be compensated in the game in the second AT state. Note that after the communication control means 175 stops outputting the first specific signal, the communication control means 175 starts outputting the second specific signal based on the display of the specific symbol combination, or stops outputting the first specific signal. Later, the output of the second specific signal may be started based on the fact that a specific symbol combination is displayed, and then the correct bell is continuously won a predetermined number of times in a game in which the hitting bell has been won. In addition, after the output of the first specific signal is stopped, the output of the second specific signal may be started based on the fact that the specific replay has won a predetermined number of times in a game in which the specific replay is won, In this case, the production control means 180 is a winning assistance that assists the winning of the specific replay in order to start outputting the second specific signal when the specific replay is won in the second AT preparation state or the second AT state. The effect may be executed by the display device 330 or the audio device 340.

  Also, in this modified example, as in the modified example 10, in the second AT preparation state, the production control means 180 performs the first winning assist production in order to stop the output of the first specific signal even if the batting order bell is won. The performance state may be set to the second AT state based on the fact that the winning of winning the correct bell is continuously missed a predetermined number of times in the game where the hitting bell is won. In this case, the communication control means 175 stops the output of the first specific signal based on the fact that the winning of the correct bell has been missed continuously for a predetermined number of times in the game in which the batting order bell is won, and the second specific signal The output may be started.
