  In this type of gaming machine, there is known a gaming machine having a relief function for generating an advantageous state when a predetermined number of games are performed without generating a state (advantageous state) that is more advantageous to the player than usual ( Patent Document 1). By having such a relief function, the player is prevented from suffering a great disadvantage.

JP 2003-260190 A

  However, in the gaming machine having the above-described relief function, when a predetermined number of games are performed, an advantageous state occurs compulsorily regardless of the player's intention, so there is less freedom for the player, It was a fun game.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems in conventional gaming machines, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can enhance the gaming interest of the conventional game machine with a new type of relief function. .

In order to solve at least a part of the problems described above, the gaming machine of the present invention employs the following configuration. That is,
A gaming machine capable of executing a game in which identification information is variably displayed and stopped.
Point giving means for giving a predetermined number of points to one game;
Counting means for counting the points;
Detecting means for detecting a specific player operation different from the player operation for progressing the game;
Game profit granting means for granting a predetermined game profit to a player based on the count value of the counting means when detecting the specific player operation;
It is characterized by providing.

  In such a gaming machine, a predetermined number of points are given to one game and the points are counted. When a specific player operation different from the player operation for advancing the game is performed, a game profit corresponding to the points counted by the counting means (hereinafter also referred to as “cumulative point number”) is awarded. Therefore, it is possible to realize the gameability that allows the player to select the timing of granting the game profit and the type of the game profit as well as paying attention to the points given to the player and the cumulative number of points. It becomes possible to raise.

  In addition, as "counting means", means for counting points given after power is turned on to the gaming machine, means for counting points given within a predetermined time, granted without any gaming profits being given A means for counting the scored points can be exemplified. Further, examples of the “game profit” include occurrence of a more advantageous state (advantageous state) than usual, output of predetermined images and music, and the like.

In addition, the gaming machine described above is
The point granting unit has less points to be awarded for one game after the game profit is given by the game profit granting unit than before the game profit is given by the game profit granting unit. It is good to do.

  In such a gaming machine, when a specific player operation is performed, a game profit corresponding to the cumulative number of points is given, but after the game profit is given, compared to before the game profit is given Less points will be awarded for a single game. Therefore, with respect to the timing to obtain a game profit by performing a specific player operation (even if the number of points awarded later is reduced, the game profit is obtained at an early timing, or the point given by delaying the timing to obtain the game profit Can be conceived by the player, and it is possible to enhance the gaming interest.

In addition, the gaming machine described above is
It is good also as an initialization means which initializes the count value of the said counting means based on detection of the said specific player operation which concerns on the provision of the said game profit.

  According to such a gaming machine, when a specific player operation is performed, the accumulated point number is initialized. Therefore, it is difficult to reach a larger accumulated point number. It becomes difficult to obtain a corresponding game profit. Therefore, the player can select whether to obtain a game profit immediately by performing a specific player operation or to obtain a game profit corresponding to a larger number of accumulated points by performing a specific player operation later. Gameability can be realized, and it is possible to enhance the gaming interest.

  The “timing for initializing the count value of the counting means” may be before or after the game profit is given based on the count value. For example, when a specific player operation is performed, a game profit corresponding to the count value is given and then the count value is initialized, or when a specific player operation is performed, the count value is initialized and the calculation is performed. It is good also as a structure which memorize | stores a numerical value in another memory area, and gives the game profit according to the count value memorize | stored in this another memory area.

In addition, the gaming machine described above is
Based on the fact that the points accumulated and counted by the counting means without detecting the specific player operation become a special value, a special value greater than the gaming profit given by the gaming profit giving means It is also possible to provide a special benefit granting means that grants profits.

  According to such a gaming machine, when the cumulative point number reaches a special value, a special profit larger than the gaming profit is given, but a specific player operation is performed before the cumulative point number reaches the special value. When a game profit is given in, the accumulated point number is initialized. Therefore, when a specific player operation is performed, it is difficult to reach the special value for the accumulated point number, and it becomes difficult to obtain a special profit. As a result, the player is asked whether to obtain a gaming profit by performing a specific player operation or to obtain a special profit by waiting until the accumulated point number reaches a special value without performing a specific player operation. The game characteristics to be selected can be realized, and the gaming interest can be enhanced.

  As the “special profit”, for example, the “game profit” described above can be adopted.

In addition, the gaming machine described above is
The game profit giving means may make the content of the game profit given to the player more advantageous as the count value of the counting means when the specific player operation is detected is larger.

  According to such a gaming machine, the game profit increases as the number of accumulated points when a specific player operation is performed, but depending on the number of accumulated points at that time by performing a specific player operation When the gaming profit is given, the accumulated point number is initialized. Therefore, when a specific player operation is performed, it becomes difficult to reach a larger number of accumulated points, and as a result, it becomes difficult to obtain a game profit corresponding to the larger number of accumulated points. As a result, it is possible to realize a gaming property that allows a player to select whether to obtain a gaming profit by performing a specific player operation immediately or to obtain a larger gaming profit by performing a specific player operation later. It is possible to enhance the game entertainment interest.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to enhance the entertainment interest of the game by a new aspect of the relief function.

A-2. Overview of the game:
Hereinafter, in the gaming machine 1 having the above-described configuration, the contents of the control performed in order to advance the game will be described. As a preparation, an outline of the game performed in the gaming machine 1 will be described.

  When starting a game, a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 30 and a bet of the number of games (specified number) necessary to start the game is placed. In the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the specified number is fixed to “3”, and the operation of the start lever 36 is validated when three gaming medals are bet. In addition, when a predetermined number of game medals have already been betted, when a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 30, the game medal is stored as storage data (storage data). When game medals are stored as stored data, it is possible to bet a predetermined number of game medals (setting the number of hangs) by pressing the bet button 34.

  When a specified number of game medals are bet and the start lever 36 is operated (when the start operation is performed), the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c start to rotate. As described above with reference to FIG. 3, since a plurality of symbols are drawn on each of the spinning cylinders, when the spinning cylinder rotates, these symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the display window 20. Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, three turning cylinder stop buttons 38 a, 38 b, and 38 c are provided on the front surface side of the front door 2 corresponding to each turning cylinder. When the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c are operated while the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c are rotating (when the stopping operation is performed), the rotating cylinder corresponding to the operated rotating cylinder stop button stops rotating. Along with this, in the display window 20, the symbol that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed as any symbol. In this way, when the rotation of the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is stopped, one of the symbols is stopped and displayed on each of the spinning cylinders. In the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the size of the display window 20 is set such that three symbols are displayed for each cylinder. Eventually, when the three drums 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped and displayed, a total of nine symbols in three rows and three columns are displayed on the display window 20. In addition, a plurality of pay lines are set in advance at positions where these nine symbols are displayed.

  FIG. 1 shows winning lines L1 to L5 set in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment. As shown in the drawing, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the upper line L1, the middle line L2, the lower line L3, the right diagonally upward line L4, and the diagonally right downward line. A total of five lines L5 are set as winning lines (as winning lines L1 to L5). When the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped, some combination of symbols is obtained on these pay lines. If the symbol combination on the winning line is a symbol combination corresponding to one of the game actors, the winning of the game officer is established, and a privilege corresponding to the game officer is given to the player. The

  FIG. 5 shows the types of gaming combinations set in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the symbol combinations that establish the winnings of the gaming actors, and the players that are awarded when the winnings of the gaming actors are established. It is explanatory drawing shown matched with the privilege. In FIG. 5, the type of the game player is displayed in the leftmost column, the symbol combination that establishes the winning of the gamer is displayed in the middle column, and the player when the winning of the gamer is established in the rightmost column. The privilege granted to is displayed. For example, a game combination called watermelon shown in the uppermost row is associated with a combination of symbols in which all three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are arranged in the “watermelon” design, and a winning combination for this watermelon role is established. As a special benefit, 10 game medals are set to be paid out to the player. In addition, for a game role called a cherry role, a symbol combination in which the design of the left and right drum 20a and 20c may be any symbol as long as the symbol of the left and right drum 20a is “Cherry”. Is set so that two game medals are paid out as a benefit for winning the cherry role. In addition, a combination of symbols in which the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are all arranged in the “replay” pattern is set for the game player called the re-game player. Even if a player does not bet a new game medal, a specified number of game medals are automatically bet and it is possible to play a game once again (re-game can be performed) Has been.

  Further, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the bell role A, the bell role B, the bell role C, and the bell role D are set as the game roles. The bell combination A to D is associated with a combination of symbols in which the three drums 20a, 20b, and 20c are arranged in a “bell” pattern. The game medals are set to be paid out to the player. Also, for the bell roles A to D, “the order of operation of the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c that can make a winning establishment” (hereinafter also referred to as “the winning order that can be won”) is set differently. (Not shown). Specifically, in the bell role A, a winable push order for operating the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c in the middle → left → right operation sequence is set, and in the bell role B, the middle → right → In the left and bell combination C, the winning combination push order for operating the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c is set in the order of right → left → middle and the bell combination D in the order of right → middle → left. That is, in the bell roles A to D, “a winning order that can be won from a spinning stop button other than the left spinning stop button 38a” is set differently. The bell roles A to D can be awarded when the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c are operated in the corresponding pushable push order.

  Of course, when the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped, a winning combination of any game player is not always established. In this case, after betting a prescribed number of game medals again, the next game is performed by operating the start lever 36 and rotating the rotating drum. In the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the game progresses by repeatedly performing these operations. The progress of such a game is controlled by the CPU 201 mounted on the main control board 200. Below, the game control process which CPU201 of the main control board 200 is performing in order to control progress of a game is demonstrated. In addition, after receiving the operation of the start lever 36 and rotating the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c, the game for stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c by receiving the operation of the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c. Is also referred to as “symbol fluctuation game”.

A-3. Game control processing:
6 and 7 are flowcharts showing a game control process performed by the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 for controlling the progress of the game in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment. This game control process is a process that is executed after the gaming machine 1 is turned on and further initialization processing such as a checksum of the ROM mounted on the main control board 200 and the sub control board 220 is performed. Yes, based on a timer interrupt (for example, every 4 msec) every predetermined time.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the game control process is started, the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 first performs a bet operation validation process (S102). As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when the operation of the start lever 36 is detected after a specified number of game medals are bet, the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c start to rotate. In the bet operation validation process, a process for validating acceptance of an operation for betting such a game medal (to enable detection of a game medal bet operation) is performed.

  When the bet operation validation process is performed (S102), it is confirmed whether or not the settlement button 40 has been operated (S106). That is, it is possible to settle game medals including bet game medals before the operation of the start lever 36 described later is detected. If the settlement button 40 has been operated (S106: yes), a settlement process is performed to perform a process of paying out game medals stored as data and bet game medals (S124). The payout of game medals is performed by outputting a control signal indicating the number of game medals to be paid out from the main control board 200 to the medal payout device 118. When the game medals are paid out in this way, the state returns to the state before the game is started, and the processing after the betting operation validation processing (S102) is performed.

  After performing the bet operation validation process (S102), if it is determined that the settlement button 40 has not been operated (S106: no), subsequently, a bet operation acceptance process is performed (S108). In the bet operation acceptance process, it is determined whether or not a specified number of game medals have been betted, and when a specified number of game medals have been betted, a process of setting a bet completion flag to ON is performed. The bet completion flag is a flag indicating whether or not a specified number of game medals have been bet.

  When the bet operation acceptance process is performed (S108), it is determined whether or not the bet completion flag is set to ON, that is, whether or not a specified number of game medals have been bet (S110). As a result, when the specified number of game medals has not been bet (S110: no), the system waits until the specified number of game medals are bet while confirming whether or not the settlement button 40 is operated (S106). On the other hand, when a prescribed number of game medals are bet (S110: yes), it is determined whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated (S112). As a result, when the start lever 36 is not operated (S112: no), the system waits until the start lever 36 is operated while confirming whether or not the settlement button 40 is operated (S106). On the other hand, when the start lever 36 is operated (S112: yes), a bet operation invalidation process is performed (S114). In the bet operation invalidation process, a process for invalidating a bet operation on a game medal is performed. That is, after the start lever 36 is operated, any operation is not allowed to bet a game medal. Thus, when the process of invalidating the game medal bet operation is completed (S114), the internal lottery process is started (S116).

  In the internal lottery process, a process of determining whether or not winning of any of the game combinations described above with reference to FIG. 5 is permitted by lottery is performed (role lottery means). Even if one of the game actors is won in this lottery (the winning of the winning is permitted), the winning of the gaming actor is not immediately established, and depending on the type of gaming actor, By operating the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c (A to D corresponding to the respective winning possible pushing orders), the winning combination cannot be established unless the corresponding symbol combinations are aligned on the winning line. On the other hand, if it is not the player who won the lottery, at what timing and operation sequence (hereinafter, the operation sequence of the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c by the player is also referred to as “player push sequence”). Even if the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c are operated, the corresponding symbol combinations cannot be arranged on the winning line. In this sense, this lottery is also referred to as “internal lottery” because it is a lottery performed internally as a precondition for establishing a combination of symbols and establishing a winning combination for a gamer. Further, winning a predetermined game combination in the internal lottery is also expressed as “winning internally” for the game combination. Further, the state of winning the internal lottery is also expressed as “internal winning state”.

  This internal lottery is performed using a dedicated table called a role lottery table. In the combination lottery table, a correspondence relationship between the game combination and the random number for internal lottery is set. Here, the internal lottery random number is a random number acquired when the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 receives an operation signal of the start lever 36. In the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the internal lottery random number is 2-byte data and can take a random value in the range of 0 to 65535.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the combination lottery table of the first embodiment. FIG. 8A shows a range of random numbers assigned to each game combination. FIG. 8B shows a rough ratio of the random number range assigned to each game combination. As shown in the figure, in the combination lottery table, random numbers from 0 to 4999 are set for “bell combination A”. This represents that when the acquired random number value is within this range, the bell combination A is won internally. Similarly, a random number value of 5000 to 9999 is set for “Bell role B”, a random value of 10000 to 14999 is set for “Bell role C”, and for “Bell role D”, A random number value of 15000 to 19999 is set.

  In addition, a random value of 20000 to 211999 is set for the “watermelon combination”, a random value of 22000 to 23999 is set for the “cherry combination”, and a random value of 24000 to 43999 is set for the “replay combination”. Is set. It should be noted that no game combination is set in the random number values 44000 to 65535, and therefore, if the acquired random number value is within this range, it is “lost”.

  In the internal lottery process (S116), it is detected that the start lever 36 has been operated to acquire an internal lottery random number, and by referring to the winning lottery table, which game combination has been won internally or which It is determined whether or not the other gamer was also won internally. Then, when any of the game combinations is won internally, the internal winning flag corresponding to the winning game combination is set to ON among the internal winning flags provided for each game combination. The internal winning flag is a flag used for storing the result of the internal lottery. For example, when an internal winning combination is made for the watermelon combination, an internal winning flag for the watermelon combination is set to ON to store this fact.

  Thus, when the internal lottery process is performed (S116), the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 transmits an internal lottery result transmission command to the sub control board 220 (S118). The internal lottery result transmission command includes information indicating whether or not a game player has been won in the internal lottery performed in the previous internal lottery process (S116), and the type of game player (internal Information indicating a lottery result) is included, and various effects are performed under the control of the CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 based on the information.

  When the internal lottery result transmission command is transmitted to the sub-control board 220 (S118), the rotation rotation starting process is started (S128 in FIG. 7). In the rotation rotation starting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied, and if the condition is satisfied, the three rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are displayed with “the symbol based on the internal lottery result”. Processing to perform “rotation for performing stop display (normal rotation)” is performed. In the rotation rotation start process of the first embodiment, the normal rotation of the rotation is performed when a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the normal rotation of the rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c was started last time. Let it begin. The normal rotation of the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is performed by outputting drive signals to the spinning cylinder motors 24a, 24b, and 24c provided in the respective spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c.

  When the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are normally rotated in this way, a process for stopping the normal rotation (rotating cylinder rotation stopping process) is performed (S130). In the rotation rotation stop processing, the result of the internal lottery performed previously (S116), the timing when the rotation stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c are operated by the player, the rotation stop buttons 38a, 38b, Based on the operation order (player pushing order) of 38c, the stop position of each of the three cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c is determined, and a process of stopping at the determined position is performed. That is, if the result of the internal lottery is a loss, the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped so that no winning combination is established. In addition, when the cherry or watermelon role is won internally, the cherry or watermelon role is won only when the operation timing of the rotation stop button is at a predetermined timing, and the internal winning of the bell roles A to D is achieved. In this case, the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped so that the winning combination of the bells A to D is achieved only when the operation order of the spinning cylinder stop button (player pressing order) is the winning order pressing order. . In addition, when the re-gamer is elected internally, the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are established so that the re-gamer can be awarded regardless of the timing and in any operation sequence. Stop.

  In the rotation rotation stop process (S130), a command indicating that is sent to the sub-control board 220 every time the rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c are stopped in response to an operation on each rotation stop button 38a, 38b, 38c. Send. That is, when the first (first) operation (hereinafter also referred to as “first stop operation”) is performed among the operations for the three times of the spinning cylinder stop button in one symbol variable game, the “first operation command” is issued. When a second (second) operation (hereinafter also referred to as “second stop operation”) is performed, a “second operation command” is transmitted, and a third (last) operation (hereinafter referred to as “third stop operation”). ”) Is performed, a“ third operation command ”is transmitted. The CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 receives these commands, so that how many times the rotation stop button operation (any operation from the first stop operation to the third stop operation) is performed in one symbol variation game. It is possible to detect whether it has been performed.

  When the three cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped (S130), the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 determines whether or not any game winning combination has been established based on the stop positions (S132). . As described above, even if any game player is internally won in the internal lottery process (S116), depending on the timing of pressing the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c and the player's pushing order, The symbol combinations to be performed are not always on the winning line. Therefore, after stopping the normal rotation of the spinning cylinder, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the winning combination of the game combination won by the internal lottery has been established.

  In addition, if any of the game combination is won internally in the symbol variation game, regardless of whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the game combination won in the symbol variation game can be stopped on the winning line. The internal winning is reset without being carried over after the next symbol variation game (the internal winning flag is set to OFF).

  As a result of the determination process of S132, when it is determined that a winning combination of any game player is established (S132: yes), it is determined whether or not the winning game player is a re-game player (S132). . If the winning of the re-gamer is established (S134: yes), the bet completion flag is set to ON (S136). As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when a re-gamer win is established, a predetermined number of game medals are automatically bet even if the player does not bet a new game medal. It is possible to perform a variable game (perform a re-game). Therefore, in the process of S136, the bet completion flag is set to ON so that a prescribed number of game medals are bet in response to the winning of the re-game.

  On the other hand, if the winning game player is not a re-game player (S134: no), it is different from the re-game player because the winning of any game player is established (S132: yes). It is determined that the game player has won a prize. Therefore, a process of paying out the number of game medals corresponding to the winning game player (medal payout process) is performed (S138). Specifically, 15 game medals are paid out if the winning game combination is any of the bell roles A to D, 10 game medals are paid out if it is a watermelon role, and 2 if it is a cherry role. A process of paying out game medals is performed. This processing is performed by transmitting a control signal for paying out the game medal to the medal payout device 118 after the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 determines the number of game medals to be paid out. On the other hand, if no winning combination has been established, the processing of S134 to S138 is omitted.

  In this way, when processing related to the establishment of a winning combination of a game player is performed (S132 to S138), a game end command is transmitted to the sub-control board 220 (S142). The game end command is a command transmitted every time one symbol variation game ends. The CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 detects that one symbol variation game has ended by receiving a game end command. In addition, in the game end command, information indicating whether or not any game player has won a prize in the current symbol variation game, information indicating the type (winning result) of the player who has won a prize, It includes information indicating the symbol combination (stop display result) displayed in a stopped manner, information indicating the player's pressing order in the current symbol variation game, and the like. Therefore, the CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 receives not only the game end command but also the completion of one symbol variation game, and also the “winning result”, “stop display result”, “player” in the symbol variation game. "Push order" is also detected. When the game end command is transmitted in this way (S142), the process returns to the beginning of the game control process, and the processes after the above-described bet operation validation process (S102 in FIG. 6) are performed.

A-4. Production control process:
In the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 performs the effect control process in conjunction with the process by the CPU 201 of the main control board 200 as described above, whereby various lamps 12 and various speakers 14. 114, the effect display device 10, the rotary backlight 20L, and the like are executed. Execution of various effects is realized by the following configuration.

  The effect data ROM 224 of the sub-control board 220 stores image data (sprite data, moving image data, etc.) and audio data used for the effect. The ROM 222 of the sub control board 220 stores effect patterns corresponding to various effects. The effect pattern is data in which the type of image data and sound data used for the effect, the output position and output timing of the image data, the output volume and output timing of the sound data, the lamp lighting pattern, and the like are defined. When the CPU 221 of the sub control board 220 determines an effect to be executed based on a command from the main control board 200, the CPU 221 reads an effect pattern corresponding to the effect from the ROM 222. Then, according to the read effect pattern, the effect is executed by outputting image data and sound data stored in the effect data ROM 224.

  Here, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, there is a case where an “assist time period (hereinafter referred to as“ AT period ”)” in which the “navigation effect” is executed is started as part of the above-described effect (an advantageous state occurs). means). The “navigation effect” is an effect that informs the player of the winning order (a mode of stop operation) when any of the bell roles A to D is won internally (notification means). Therefore, in the “AT period (advantageous state)” in which the “navigation effect” is executed, the player's pushing order is made to coincide with the winning push order by operating the rotation stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c according to the navigation effect. This is a period that is advantageous to the player who can make a winning combination of the bell roles A to D (can receive payout of 15 game medals).

  In the following, processing related to the start of the above-described AT period (AT start related processing) will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an AT start related process executed as a part of the effect control process by the CPU 221 of the sub control board 220. When the AT start related process is started, the CPU 221 of the sub control board 220 first determines whether or not the AT flag is set to ON (S200). The AT flag is a flag indicating that it is during the AT period, and its storage area is secured at a predetermined address of the RAM 223 mounted on the sub control board 220. Therefore, in the determination process of S200, it is determined whether or not it is during the AT period. As a result, if it is already in the AT period (S200: yes), it is not necessary to perform the process related to the start of the AT period, and thus the AT start related process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when it is not in the AT period (in the non-AT period) (S200: no), the non-specific operation start process (S202) and the specific operation start process (S204) are executed. As will be described in detail later, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, there are a case where the AT period is started without receiving a specific operation by the player and a case where the AT period is started after receiving a specific operation by the player. . The non-specific operation start process (S202) is a process for starting the AT period without receiving a specific operation by the player, and the specific operation start process (S204) is performed by receiving a specific operation by the player. This is a process for starting a period. Here, various operations can be adopted as the specific operation. For example, an operation on an effect button provided on the housing of the gaming machine 1 or an operation of selecting a specific item from a menu item displayed on the effect display device 10 using a predetermined operation unit can be given.

  Hereinafter, the non-specific operation start process (S202) will be described first, and then the specific operation start process (S204) will be described.

A-4-1. Non-specific operation start processing:
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the non-specific operation start process (S202). When starting the non-specific operation start process, the CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 first determines whether or not an internal lottery result transmission command has been received (S300). As described above with reference to FIG. 6, the internal lottery result transmission command is a command transmitted from the main control board 200 when the internal lottery is performed, and includes information indicating the internal lottery result.

  As a result, if the internal lottery result transmission command has not been received (S300: no), the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 10 is terminated and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the internal lottery result transmission command is received (S300: yes), “1” is added to the value of “inter-AT game number counter” (S302). The inter-AT game number counter is a counter for counting the number of symbol variable games (hereinafter referred to as “inter-AT game number”) from the end of the AT period to the start of the next AT period. The storage area is secured at a predetermined address of the RAM 223 mounted on 220. In the process of S302, in response to receiving the internal lottery result transmission command in the process of S300, it is determined that one symbol variation game has been performed during the non-AT period, and the number of games between ATs is added once. Therefore, “1” is added to the value of the inter-AT game number counter.

  Subsequently, based on the internal lottery result transmission command received in the process of S300, it is determined whether or not the watermelon combination has been won internally in the current symbol variation game (S304). As a result, when an internal winning combination of watermelon is won (S304: yes), an AT period start lottery for determining whether or not to start the AT period is executed (S306). In the AT period start lottery, a random number that is sequentially updated is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the acquired random number is a predetermined winning value. In the AT period start lottery, the probability of determining to start the AT period (start of the AT period) is set to 30%, for example.

  When the AT period start lottery is executed (S306), it is determined whether or not the AT period start lottery is determined as a result of the AT period start lottery (S308). As a result, when the start of the AT period is determined (S308: yes), the AT flag is set ON to start the AT period (S314), and the value of “AT counter” is set to “100”. (S316). The AT counter is a counter in which the number of symbol variation games until the AT period ends is set, and “1” is subtracted every time the symbol variation game is performed during the AT period. Therefore, when the AT period start lottery is determined in the AT period start lottery (in the process of S316), the value of the AT counter is set so as to continue from the start of the AT period until 100 symbol variation games are performed. Is set. The AT counter has a storage area secured at a predetermined address of the RAM 223 mounted on the sub-control board 220. Subsequently, in response to the start of the AT period, “0” is set to the value of the inter-AT game number counter so that the number of inter-AT games is 0 (initial value) (S318). Thereafter, the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 10 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the watermelon role is won internally (S304: yes), it is determined that the AT period will not start (no AT period start) in the AT period start lottery (S308: no start), or the watermelon role is won internally If not (S304: no), it is determined whether or not the value of the inter-AT game number counter is “1100”, that is, whether or not the inter-AT game number has reached 1100 (S310). In other words, when the symbol variation game is executed during the non-AT period and the start of the AT period is not determined in the symbol variation game, the number of games between ATs is increased to 1100 by performing the symbol variation game. Determine whether it has been reached. As a result, when the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 times (so-called ceiling) (S310: yes), as in the case where the AT period start lottery is determined in the AT period start lottery, “100 symbol variation games” The AT lag is set to ON to start the “AT period that continues until” is performed (S314), and the value of the AT counter is set to “100” (S316). Subsequently, in response to the start of the AT period, “0” is set to the value of the inter-AT game number counter so that the number of inter-AT games is 0 (initial value) (S318). Thereafter, the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 10 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the number of games between ATs does not reach 1100 (S310: no), the number of games between ATs is notified to the player by displaying the number of games between ATs on the effect display device 10 or the like. (S312). Then, the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 10 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. Note that the number of games between ATs may be notified even when the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 times.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the start of the AT period is determined by the AT period start lottery before the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 times, and the number of games between ATs is 1100 times. Is reached, the “AT period that continues until 100 symbol variation games are performed” is started.

  Thus, after performing the non-specific operation start process (S202) for starting the AT period without receiving a specific operation by the player, subsequently, the specification for starting the AT period in response to the specific operation by the player An operation start process (S204) is performed.

A-4-2. Start processing at specific operation:
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the specific operation start process (S204). When the CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 starts the start process at the time of the specific operation, it first determines whether or not it is during the symbol variation game (S400). Here, as described above with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the main control board 200 transmits an internal lottery result transmission command at the start of the symbol variation game, and transmits a game end command at the end of the symbol variation game. The Therefore, in the determination process of S400, if the game end command has not been received after receiving the internal lottery result transmission command, it is determined that the symbol variation game is being performed.

  If the result of the determination process in S400 is that the symbol variation game is being performed (S400: yes), the specific operation start process shown in FIG. 11 is terminated as it is, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when it is not in the symbol variation game (S400: no), it is determined whether or not a specific operation (such as the operation of the above-described effect button) is performed by the player (S402). As a result, when the specific operation is performed (S402: yes), the value of the inter-AT game number counter is any one of “700” to “999”, that is, the inter-AT game number is 700 to 999 times. It is determined whether or not (S404). If the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 (S404: yes), the AT number determination table is read (S406).

  Here, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, when a specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 times, the AT period starts. The AT number determination table is a table for determining the number of symbol variable games (hereinafter also referred to as “AT number”) in which the AT period started at this time is continued, and the ROM 222 mounted on the sub-control board 220. Is stored in advance.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the AT number determination table of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, in the AT number determination table, “AT number” is set corresponding to “number of games between ATs”, and the larger the number of games between ATs, the more AT number is set. Specifically, the number of ATs is set to 40 corresponding to the number of games between ATs of 700 to 799, the number of games of AT is set to 60 corresponding to the number of games between ATs of 800 to 899, and the number of games between ATs of 900 to 999 is set. The AT number is set to 80 times corresponding to the number of times.

  When such an AT number determination table is read (S406), referring to the table, the value of the inter-AT game number counter, that is, the AT number corresponding to the number of inter-AT games is determined as the AT number of the AT period to be started this time. (S408). For example, if the number of games between ATs is 720 times, the number of ATs is determined to be 40 times, and if the number of games between ATs is 902 times, the number of ATs is determined to be 80 times. Thus, when the AT number is determined (S408), the AT flag is set to ON to start the AT period (S412), and the AT number determined in the process of S408 is set to the value of the AT counter. Subsequently, in response to the start of the AT period, “0” is set to the value of the inter-AT game number counter so that the number of inter-AT games is 0 (initial value) (S414). After that, the specific operation start process shown in FIG. 11 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. In addition, even when it is not in the symbol variation game (S400: no), when a specific operation is not performed (S402: no), or when the number of games between ATs is not 700 to 999 (S404: no) Then, the start process at the time of the specific operation shown in FIG. 11 is finished, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 times and the player performs a specific operation, the AT number of ATs corresponding to the number of games between ATs is obtained. The period starts. Specifically, as the number of games between ATs increases, an AT period with a greater number of ATs starts. In the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the number of games between ATs is 1000 to 1099, the AT period is not started even if a specific operation is performed. The reason for this will be described later.

A-5. Effects obtained by the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment:
FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an effect obtained by the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the number of games between ATs (the number of games played under a predetermined situation) is counted (counting means). When the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 times, when a specific operation is performed by a player (a player operation for advancing a game (a player operation for advancing a symbol variation game, for example, Specific operation different from the operation on the start lever 36 for starting the rotation of the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c and the operation on the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c for stopping the rotation of the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c). When a player operation is detected (detection means), an AT period of AT times corresponding to the number of games between ATs at that time (based on the count value of the counting means) is started (a game profit that gives a predetermined game profit) Granting means).

  Accordingly, it is possible to realize the gameability that allows the player to pay attention to the number of games between ATs and allow the player to select the AT period start timing and the AT number of times during the AT period. It becomes possible.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, although the AT period of the AT number increases as the number of games between ATs when a specific operation is performed (the contents of gaming profits are advantageous), When the specific operation is performed, the number of games between ATs is returned to 0 (initial value) (initialization means for initializing the count value of the counting means). That is, when a specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 700 to 799 times, an AT period of 40 AT times starts, and a specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 800 to 899 times. When the AT operation is started and the AT period is 60 times and the number of games between ATs is 900 to 999 times, the AT period is started when the specific operation is performed. The number of games during the game is reset to 0 (reset). Therefore, if a specific operation is performed, it becomes difficult to reach a larger number of games between ATs, and consequently, it becomes difficult to start an AT period corresponding to the number of games between ATs. . As a result, it is possible to make the player select whether to start an AT period with a small number of ATs by performing a specific operation immediately or to start an AT period with a larger number of ATs by performing a specific operation later. It can be realized, and it becomes possible to enhance the gaming interest.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 times (special number), an AT period of 100 AT times starts (special benefit granting means for giving a special benefit). If the AT period of 40 to 80 ATs is started by performing a specific operation before the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 times, the number of games between ATs is reset to 0 (initial value) Initialization means for initializing the count value). Therefore, when a specific operation is performed, it becomes difficult to reach the number of games between ATs of 1100 times, and consequently, it becomes difficult to start an AT period of 100 AT times. As a result, an AT period of 40 to 80 ATs is started by performing a specific operation, or an AT of 100 ATs is performed by waiting until the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 without performing a specific operation. It is possible to realize a game property that allows the player to select whether to start the period, and to enhance the game interest.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 times, the AT period starts when a specific operation is performed, but when the number of games between ATs is 1000 to 1099 times, (From the time when the number of games between ATs reaches 1000 times and before reaching 1100 times when the AT period is started without a specific operation), the AT period is not started even if the specific operation is performed (the specific operation is not performed). Limit the possible period). That is, when the number of games between ATs reaches 1000 without performing a specific operation, from “a period in which an AT period is started when a specific operation is performed” to “a period in which an AT period is not started even if a specific operation is performed” Will be transferred to. Therefore, in a period when the AT period is started when a specific operation is performed (a period in which the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 times), it is possible to make the player think deeply whether or not to perform the specific operation. It is possible to enhance interest.

B. Second embodiment:
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The gaming machine according to the second embodiment differs from the gaming machine according to the first embodiment in the non-specific operation start process and the specific operation start process described above. The “non-specific operation start process” and “specific operation start process” in the gaming machine of the second embodiment will be described below.

B-1. Non-specific operation start processing:
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the non-specific operation start process (corresponding to S202 of the first embodiment) of the second embodiment. When the CPU 221 of the sub-control board 220 starts the non-specific operation start process, it first determines whether or not an internal lottery result transmission command has been received (S500). As a result, when the internal lottery result transmission command has not been received (S500: no), the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 14 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the internal lottery result transmission command is received (S500: yes), the “number of points between ATs” is read (S502). The “number of points between ATs” is the number of points from the end of the AT period to the start of the next AT period. Here, in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, in each symbol variable game from the end of the AT period to the start of the next AT period, the number of points given to the player in the symbol variable game (hereinafter referred to as “addition”). Also called “points”. Then, the number of points between ATs is counted by accumulating the number of points. The inter-AT point number is stored in the “inter-AT point number counter”, and the storage area is secured in the RAM 223 mounted on the sub-control board 220.

  Thus, when the inter-AT point number is read (S502), the “addition point number determination table” corresponding to the inter-AT point number is read (S504). The “addition point number determination table” is a table for determining the number of addition points, and is stored in advance in the ROM 222 mounted on the sub-control board 220.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the addition point number determination table of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, in the addition point number determination table, the number of addition points is set in correspondence with the internal lottery result. The addition point number determination table stores a table read when the number of points between ATs is 0 to 500 points and a table read when the number of points between ATs is 501 to 1099 points. Yes. As is clear from comparison of these tables, a larger number of additional points is determined when the number of points between ATs is 501 to 1099 points than when the number of points between ATs is 0 to 500 points. It is easy. In addition, more points are added when the internal lottery result is lost, or when the internal winning combination is the watermelon role or cherry role (specific role) than when the re-playing role or the bell role AD is won internally. Numbers are easily determined. In the process of S504, the table corresponding to the number of points between ATs read in the process of S502 is read out from the above-described addition point number determination table.

  When the addition point number determination table corresponding to the number of points between ATs is read (S504), the current symbol variation game result is detected based on the internal lottery result transmission command received in the process of S500. Then, with reference to the addition point number determination table read in the process of S504, the addition point number corresponding to the internal lottery result of the current symbol variation game is determined (S506). Thus, when the number of addition points in the current symbol variation game is determined (S506), the determined number of addition points is added to the value of the inter-AT point counter in order to add to the inter-AT point number (S508).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not an internal winning combination of watermelon is won in the current symbol variation game (S510). As a result, when the internal winning combination of watermelon is won (S510: yes), an AT period start lottery for determining whether or not to start the AT period is executed (S512). In the AT period start lottery, a random number that is sequentially updated is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the acquired random number is a predetermined winning value. In the AT period start lottery, the probability of determining to start the AT period (start of the AT period) is set to 30%, for example.

  When the AT period start lottery is executed (S512), it is determined whether or not the start of the AT period is determined as a result of the AT period start lottery (S514). As a result, when the start of the AT period is determined (S514: yes), the AT flag is set to ON in order to start the "AT period that continues until 100 symbol variation games are performed" (S520). ), “100” is set to the value of the AT counter (S522). Subsequently, in response to the start of the AT period, the value of the inter-AT point number counter is set to “0” in order to set the inter-AT point number to 0 point (initial value) (S524). Thereafter, the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 14 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the watermelon role is won internally (S510: yes), it is determined that the AT period does not start (no AT period start) in the AT period start lottery (S514: no start), or the watermelon role is won internally If not (S510: no), it is determined whether or not the value of the inter-AT point number counter is equal to or greater than “1100”, that is, whether or not the inter-AT point number has reached 1100 points (S516). . In other words, when the symbol variation game is executed during the non-AT period, if the start of the AT period is not determined in the symbol variation game, the number of points between ATs becomes 1100 points by performing the symbol variation game. Determine whether it has been reached. As a result, when the number of points between ATs reaches 1100 points (S516: yes), as in the case where the AT period start lottery is determined in the AT period start lottery, “until 100 symbol variation games are performed” The AT lag is set to ON to start the “continuing AT period” (S520), and the value of the AT counter is set to “100” (S522). Subsequently, in response to the start of the AT period, the value of the inter-AT point number counter is set to “0” in order to set the inter-AT point number to 0 point (initial value) (S524). Thereafter, the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 14 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the number of points between ATs does not reach 1100 points (S516: no), the number of points between ATs is notified to the player by displaying the number of points between ATs on the effect display device 10 or the like. (S518). Thereafter, the non-specific operation start process shown in FIG. 14 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. In addition, when the number of points between ATs reaches 1100 points, you may make it alert | report the number of points between ATs.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, during the non-AT period, the number of points to be added is determined every time the symbol variation game is performed. The number of points added is determined to be larger as the number of points between ATs is larger, and is determined to be larger when the winning combination is a watermelon role or a cherry role. Then, the number of points between ATs is counted by accumulating the number of added points. Furthermore, if the AT period start lottery is determined by the AT period start lottery before the inter-AT point number reaches 1100 points, and if the inter-AT point number reaches 1100 points, “100 symbol variation games” The AT period that continues until is performed.

  After performing the non-specific operation start process (corresponding to S202) for starting the AT period without receiving a specific operation by the player in this way, subsequently, for receiving the specific operation by the player and starting the AT period A specific operation start process (corresponding to S204) is performed.

B-2. Start processing at specific operation:
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a specific operation start process (corresponding to S204) in the second embodiment. When the CPU 221 of the sub control board 220 starts the start process at the time of the specific operation, it first determines whether or not it is during the symbol variation game (S600). As a result, when the symbol variation game is being performed (S600: yes), the specific operation start process shown in FIG. 16 is ended as it is, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is not in the symbol variation game (S600: no), it is determined whether or not a specific operation (such as the operation of the above-described effect button) by the player has been performed (S602). As a result, when the specific operation is performed (S602: yes), the value of the inter-AT point number counter is any one of “700” to “999”, that is, the inter-AT point number is 700 to 999 points. It is determined whether or not (S604). If the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points (S604: yes), the AT number determination table of the second embodiment is read (S606). Here, in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, when a specific operation is performed when the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points, the AT period starts. The AT number determination table of the second embodiment is a table for determining the AT number to be started at this time, and is stored in advance in the ROM 222 mounted on the sub control board 220.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the AT number determination table of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 17, in the AT number determination table, “AT number” is set in correspondence with “number of points between ATs”, and the larger the number of points between ATs, the more AT number is set. Specifically, the number of ATs is set to 40 corresponding to 700 to 799 points between ATs, the number of ATs is set to 60 corresponding to 800 to 899 points between ATs, and the number of points between ATs is 900 to 999. The AT number is set to 80 times corresponding to the points.

  When such an AT count determination table is read (S606), with reference to the table, the value of the inter-AT point number counter, that is, the AT count corresponding to the inter-AT point count is set to the AT count of the AT period to be started this time. (S608). For example, if the number of points between ATs is 720 points, the number of ATs is determined to be 40, and if it is 902 points, the number of ATs is determined to be 80. Thus, when the AT number is determined (S608), the AT flag is set to ON to start the AT period (S612), and the AT number determined in the process of S608 is set to the value of the AT counter. Subsequently, in response to the start of the AT period, “0” is set to the value of the inter-AT point number counter so as to set the inter-AT point number to 0 point (initial value) (S614). Then, the specific operation start process shown in FIG. 16 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG. In addition, even when it is not in the symbol variation game (S600: no), when a specific operation is not performed (S602: no), or when the number of points between ATs is not 700 to 999 points (S604: no) Then, the specific operation start process shown in FIG. 16 is terminated, and the process returns to the AT start related process shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, when the player performs a specific operation when the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points, the AT period corresponding to the number of ATs corresponding to the number of points between ATs. Is started. Specifically, as the number of points between ATs increases, an AT period with a larger number of ATs starts. In the gaming machine of the second embodiment, when the number of points between ATs is 1000 to 1099 points, the AT period is not started even if a specific operation is performed. The reason will be described later.

B-3. Effects obtained by the gaming machine of the second embodiment:
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the effects obtained by the gaming machine of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, during the non-AT period, the number of points added each time a symbol variation game is performed (for one game (when a predetermined grant condition is satisfied)). (Point granting means for giving a predetermined number of points to the player). The number of points between ATs is counted by accumulating the number of points added (counting means for accumulating and counting points given under a predetermined condition). And, when the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points, if a specific operation is performed by the player (player operation for proceeding the game (player operation for proceeding the symbol variation game, for example, Specific operation different from the operation on the start lever 36 for starting the rotation of the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c and the operation on the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c for stopping the rotation of the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c). When a player's operation is detected (detecting means), an AT period of AT times corresponding to the number of points between ATs at that time (based on the count value of the counting means) is started (a gaming profit that gives a predetermined gaming profit) Granting means).

  Accordingly, it is possible to realize a gameability that allows the player to pay attention to the number of points added and the number of points between ATs and to allow the player to select the AT period start timing and the AT number of times during the AT period. Can be increased.

  Further, the number of points to be added is determined to be larger as the number of points between ATs is larger, and is determined to be larger when the winning combination is a watermelon role or a cherry role. Therefore, when the number of points to be added is given, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of points between ATs and the internal lottery result, and it is possible to enhance the gaming interest.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, although the AT period of the AT number of times increases as the number of points between ATs when the specific operation is performed (the contents of the gaming profit becomes advantageous), the specific When the operation is performed, the number of points between ATs is returned to 0 point (initial value) (initialization means for initializing the count value of the counting means). That is, when a specific operation is performed when the number of points between ATs is 700 to 799 points, an AT period of 40 AT times is started, and a specific operation is performed when the number of points between ATs is 800 to 899 points. When an AT period of 60 times is started and the number of points between ATs is 900 to 999 points, a specific operation is performed and an AT period of 80 times of AT is started. The number of points is reset to 0 points (reset). Therefore, if a specific operation is performed, it becomes difficult to reach a larger number of points between ATs, and consequently, it becomes difficult to start an AT period corresponding to the number of points between ATs. End up. As a result, an AT period with a small number of ATs is started by performing a specific operation immediately, or an AT period with a larger number of ATs is started by performing a specific operation later (after the number of points between ATs has increased). It is possible to realize a game property that allows the player to select whether to play, and to enhance the gaming interest.

  Also, in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, when the number of points between ATs reaches 1100 points (special value), an AT period of 100 ATs starts (special benefit granting means for granting special benefits). If the AT period of 40 to 80 AT times is started by performing a specific operation before the interpoint number reaches 1100 points, the interAT point count is reset to 0 points (initial value) Initialization means for initializing numerical values). Therefore, when a specific operation is performed, it becomes difficult to reach the number of points between ATs reaching 1100 points, and consequently, it becomes difficult to start an AT period of 100 AT times. As a result, an AT period of 40 to 80 ATs is started by performing a specific operation, or an AT of 100 ATs is performed by waiting until the number of points between ATs reaches 1100 without performing a specific operation. It is possible to allow the player to select whether to start the period, and to enhance the gaming interest.

  In the gaming machine of the second embodiment, when the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points, the AT period starts when a specific operation is performed, but when the number of points between ATs is 1000 to 1099 points ( After the number of points between ATs reaches 1000 points and before reaching 1100 points when the AT period is started without a specific operation), the AT period is not started even if the specific operation is performed (specific operation is possible) Time limit). That is, when the number of points between ATs reaches 1000 without performing a specific operation, a period in which an AT period is not started even if a specific operation is performed from “a period in which an AT period is started when a specific operation is performed” Will be transferred to. Therefore, in the period when the AT period is started when the specific operation is performed (period in which the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points), it is possible to make the player think deeply whether or not the specific operation is performed. It is possible to enhance interest.

  As mentioned above, although the Example was described about this invention, this invention is not limited to this, Unless it deviates from the range described in each claim, it is not limited to the description word of each claim, and those skilled in the art Improvements based on the knowledge that a person skilled in the art normally has can be added as appropriate to the extent that they can be easily replaced.

  For example, in the first embodiment described above, when the specific operation is performed and the AT period is started, the number of games between ATs that are returned to 0 (initial value) is counted as the “number of games” of the present invention. However, the number of symbol variable games during the non-AT period (hereinafter also referred to as “the number of non-AT games”) that is not returned to 0 (initial value) even when the AT period is started after a specific operation is performed is defined as the present invention. It may be configured to count as “the number of games”. In such a configuration, for example, when a specific operation is performed during a first period in which the number of non-AT games is the first number, the AT period of the first AT number is started. Further, when a specific operation is performed during the second period in which the number of non-AT games is a second number greater than the first number, the AT period is started by performing the specific operation during the previous first AT period. The AT period with a different number of ATs is started depending on whether or not it has been. That is, when a specific operation is performed during the second period, if the specific operation is performed during the first AT period, the AT period of the second AT number is started, and the specific operation is not performed during the first AT period. If this happens, the AT period of the third AT number greater than the second AT number is started. In this case, “the AT period of the first AT number is started during the first period and the AT period of the second AT number is started during the second period” or “the AT period is not started during the first period. It is possible to realize a gameability that allows the player to select “start an AT period of the third AT number greater than the second AT number during the two periods” and to enhance the gaming interest.

  Further, in such a configuration, the third AT number may be made larger than the sum of the first AT number and the second AT number. In this case, “the AT period starts early (during the first period) although the AT number is small (the sum of the first AT number and the second AT number)” or the AT period starts late (during the second period). Therefore, it is possible to realize a game property that allows the player to select “to increase the number of times of AT”, and to enhance the game interest.

  Further, in the second embodiment described above, the number of points between ATs that are returned to 0 points (initial value) when an AT period is started by performing a specific operation is counted as the “number of game points” of the present invention. However, the number of points during the non-AT period (hereinafter also referred to as “the number of non-AT points”) that is not returned to 0 points (initial value) even when the AT period is started by performing a specific operation is referred to as “ It may be configured to count as “the number of game points”. In the case of such a configuration, for example, when a specific operation is performed during the first period in which the number of non-AT points is the first number, the AT period of the first AT number is started. Further, when a specific operation is performed during the second period in which the number of non-AT points is a second number greater than the first number, the AT period is started by performing the specific operation during the previous first AT period. The AT period with a different number of ATs is started depending on whether or not it has been. That is, when a specific operation is performed during the second period, if the specific operation is performed during the first AT period, the AT period of the second AT number is started, and the specific operation is not performed during the first AT period. If this happens, the AT period of the third AT number greater than the second AT number is started. In this case, “the AT period of the first AT number is started during the first period and the AT period of the second AT number is started during the second period” or “the AT period is not started during the first period. It is possible to realize a gameability that allows the player to select “start an AT period of the third AT number greater than the second AT number during the two periods” and to enhance the gaming interest.

  Further, in such a configuration, the third AT number may be made larger than the sum of the first AT number and the second AT number. In this case, “the AT period starts early (during the first period) although the AT number is small (the sum of the first AT number and the second AT number)” or the AT period starts late (during the second period). Therefore, it is possible to realize a game property that allows the player to select “to increase the number of times of AT”, and to enhance the game interest.

  In the embodiment described above, the number of specific operations may be limited. For example, a configuration that limits the number of specific operations per time or the number of specific operations for each AT period to be started (a configuration that allows a specific operation once per hour, or an AT period is started twice) It is also possible to adopt a configuration that allows one specific operation every time. This makes it possible for the player to pay attention to the number of specific operations and to think deeply about the timing of performing the specific operation, and as a result, it is possible to enhance the gaming interest.

  In the first embodiment described above, the number of ATs in the AT period started by performing a specific operation is determined according to the number of games between ATs. (Hereinafter also referred to as “AT number lottery”). In this way, when a specific operation is performed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which AT number is determined. Furthermore, the AT number lottery may be configured such that the greater the number of games between ATs, the higher the probability of being determined as the number of ATs. In this way, when a specific operation is performed, the “degree of player expectation that a large number of ATs are determined” can be made to correspond to the number of games between ATs.

  In the second embodiment described above, the number of ATs in the AT period that is started when a specific operation is performed is determined according to the number of points between ATs. (Hereinafter also referred to as “AT number lottery”). In this way, when a specific operation is performed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which AT number is determined. Furthermore, the AT number lottery may be configured such that the greater the number of points between ATs, the higher the probability of being determined as the number of ATs. In this way, when a specific operation is performed, the “degree of player's expectation that a large number of ATs are determined” can be made to correspond to the number of points between ATs.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c are operated in the “push order that can be won from the spinning cylinder stop buttons other than the counterclockwise rotation cylinder stop button 38a” during the non-AT period. It is good also as a structure which gives a penalty to a player. For example, the number of games between ATs or the number of points between ATs may not be counted until a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) of the symbol variation game is performed after the operation in the winning-pushable order. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from operating in a push order that allows winning during the non-AT period, and thus, it is possible to prevent the winning of the bell roles A to D during the non-AT period. Become. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, during the penalty period, the number of points between ATs is not counted (the number of points is given), but the number of points that are not given is determined and the number of points is notified to the player. It is good also as a structure. In this way, it is possible to make the player recognize that the notified number of points is the number of points that could have been acquired unless the penalty period, and to deepen thinking about the penalty period.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 700 to 999 times (the number of points between ATs is 700 to 999 points), whether or not a game profit is given (start AT period) It is good also as a structure which gives the game profit according to the result of this lottery by performing lottery of whether or not. Furthermore, the probability that a game profit is given as a result of the lottery may be increased as the number of games between ATs (number of points between ATs) increases. For example, when the number of games between ATs (the number of points between ATs) is 700 to 799 times (points) and a specific operation is performed, a gaming profit is given with a probability of 10%, and the number of games between ATs (number of points between ATs) When a specific operation is performed when the number is 800 to 899 times (points), a gaming profit is given with a probability of 20%, and specified when the number of games between ATs (number of points between ATs) is 900 to 999 times (points) A game profit may be given with a probability of 30% when an operation is performed, and a game profit may be given with a probability of 100% when the number of games between ATs reaches 1100. If it carries out like this, it can be made to think deeply about the timing which performs specific operation, and it becomes possible to raise a game interest.

  In the second embodiment described above, the AT period is started (the game profit is given) after the AT period is started by the specific operation (the game profit is given). ) A configuration may be adopted in which the number of addition points is smaller than before. For example, after the gaming machine is turned on (after a predetermined period is started), until the gaming profit is given by performing a specific operation, the same number of points as in the second embodiment described above May be added to the number of points between ATs, and after the specific operation is performed, a half of the number of points added in the second embodiment may be added to the number of points between ATs. In this way, the timing to start the AT period by performing a specific operation (even if the number of points to be added later is reduced, the AT period is started at an early timing, or the timing to start the AT period is delayed) It is possible to make the player think about the number of points to be added), and to enhance the gaming interest.

  Further, in the second embodiment described above, the number of points to be added is reduced (less points are given) as the number of specific operations that become an AT period start opportunity (game profit grant opportunity) is increased. It is good. For example, if the number of specific operations after the game machine is turned on is 0 to 20, the same number of addition points as in the second embodiment described above is added to the number of points between ATs, and the number of specific operations If the number is 21 times or more, the number of points added in half of the second embodiment described above may be added to the number of points between ATs. If it carries out like this, a player can be made to pay attention to the frequency | count that specific operation was performed, and it will become possible to raise a game interest.

  In the above-described embodiment, the AT period is started when the specific operation is performed when the symbol variation game is not being performed. However, the AT period may be started when the specific operation is performed during the symbol variation game. Good.

  In the above-described embodiment, the AT period is adopted as the game profit and the special profit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a big bonus state, a replay time state, or the like having a higher probability of internal winning for a predetermined game player is adopted. May be.

  Moreover, although the example which applied this invention to the rotating type game machine was demonstrated in the Example mentioned above, you may apply to a bullet ball game machine (pachinko machine). For example, when a game ball enters the start port (detection means for detecting a game ball), a special symbol (identification information) is variably displayed based on the detection (detection of the game ball by the detection means) ( Identification information display means), when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed (when a specific result is obtained), it is possible to change between a prize winning opening (a state where a game ball can be entered and a place where a game can be entered) The present invention may be applied to a ball game machine that executes a jackpot game (specific game) that opens (variable entry port) (makes it possible to enter a ball).

  And when applying this invention to such a ball game machine, it is good also as following structures. In other words, the start port can be changed between “a first mode in which a game ball is less likely to enter” and “a second mode in which a game ball is more likely to enter than the first mode”. A high-frequency state in which the frequency of the two modes is higher than usual can be generated (having a high-frequency state generation unit). The number of symbol variable games (the number of games played under a predetermined condition, from the end of the high-frequency state (or jackpot game) until the next high-frequency state (or jackpot game) occurs, below When a specific operation is performed, a high-frequency state with a period corresponding to the number of games between the first advantageous states at that time is generated (the game profit is reduced). It may be configured to be given to a player). Of course, as the number of games between the first advantageous states when the specific operation is performed is increased, the high-frequency state may be generated for a long period of time, or when the specific operation is performed and the high-frequency state is generated. It is good also as a structure which returns the number of games between 1st advantageous states to an initial value, and when the number of games between 1st advantageous states becomes a special number, it is a high frequency state longer than the high frequency state which generate | occur | produces based on specific operation. It is good also as a structure which generate | occur | produces. Instead of the configuration for counting the number of games between the first advantageous states, the number of points until the next high-frequency state (or jackpot game) occurs after the high-frequency state (or jackpot game) ends is counted. As a configuration to perform, a high-frequency state corresponding to the number of points may be generated when a specific operation is performed.

  Further, when the present invention is applied to the above-described bullet ball game machine, the following configuration may be adopted. That is, it is possible to generate a high probability state in which the probability that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of the special symbol variation display is higher than normal (the probability that the identification information variation display result is the specific result is greater than the predetermined probability). A probability variation means for increasing the The number of symbol variable games (the number of games played under a predetermined condition, from the time the high probability state (or jackpot game) ends until the next high probability state (or jackpot game) occurs When the specific operation is performed, a high probability state of a period corresponding to the number of games between the second advantageous states at that time is generated (the game profit is reduced). It may be configured to be given to a player). Of course, as the number of games between the second advantageous states when the specific operation is performed is increased, a long-term high probability state may be generated, or when the specific operation is performed and the high probability state is generated. It is good also as a structure which returns the number of games between 2nd advantageous states to an initial value, and when the number of games between 2nd advantageous states becomes a special number, it is a high probability state longer than the high probability state which generate | occur | produces based on specific operation. It is good also as a structure which generate | occur | produces. Instead of counting the number of games between the second advantageous states, the number of points from the end of the high probability state (or jackpot game) until the next high probability state (or jackpot game) occurs is counted. Alternatively, a high probability state corresponding to the number of points may be generated when a specific operation is performed.

  Further, in the above-described ball game machine, the high-frequency state or the high-probability state is adopted as the game profit and the special profit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a big hit game or the like may be adopted.

  Further, in the above-described embodiments and ball game machines, various contents (images and music pieces) may be adopted as game profits and special profits. For example, in the above-described first embodiment, when the image is displayed on the effect display device 10 as a game profit or special profit, the image A is displayed when a specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 700 to 799 times. When the specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 800 to 899, image B is displayed. When the specific operation is performed when the number of games between ATs is 900 to 999, image C is displayed. The image D may be displayed when the number of games between ATs reaches 1100 times.
