Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Conventionally, in this type of gaming machine, such as a slot machine, games (advantageous games) that are more advantageous to the player than normal games such as RT (replay time) games and AT (assist time) games are known. The RT game is a game in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set higher than that of the normal game, and the AT game is a game for notifying the player of the winning of the small role or the like.
In addition, RT games do not end when the bonus combination is won, but the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the active winning line, or a predetermined number of games have elapsed. An RT game called a “complete run type” that is finished is known (see Patent Document 1). Even if this type of RT game wins a bonus combination in RT game, the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is not stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, so that the RT game can be completed, The game is such as trying to acquire many game media.

Further, conventionally, for the purpose of relieving a player, a function of starting an advantageous game when a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000) has elapsed in a normal game is also known. Such a function is generally called “ceiling”. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a gaming machine that determines the occurrence of one or more auxiliary periods (AT games) when the number of games in the general gaming state after the end of the BB gaming state reaches the number of ceiling games. Have been described.
Such counting of the number of games related to the ceiling function is performed between bonuses and ends when a bonus combination is won. The reason for this counting method is that, when a bonus combination is won, the number of ceiling games is reached by not stopping the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination on the active winning line. This is to prevent a game not intended by the designer from being played.

JP 2009-1000085 A JP 2003-169881 A

And because of the relationship between the game performance of so-called completion-type RT games and the counting method of the game count related to the ceiling function, the so-called completion-type RT game and the ceiling function are not compatible with each other. If a bonus combination is won during a type RT game, the count of the number of games related to the ceiling function ends, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will be reduced in the RT game until the end of the subsequent game.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can achieve both the game performance of a so-called complete-run type advantageous game (RT game) and the game function of a ceiling function and can improve the interest of the game. And

The invention described in each claim has been made to achieve each of the above-described objects, and features of the present invention will be described below using the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings.

Specifically, in the normal combination lottery tables B and C, the winning probability of the re-playing combination is set to about 1 / 7.3, and in the normal combination lottery table A, it is set to about 1 / 3.6. In the normal combination lottery table D, the winning probability of the re-playing combination is set to about 1 / 1.5. As a result, the game in which the role lottery is performed using the normal role lottery tables A and D is more advantageous to the player than the game in which the role lottery is performed using the normal role lottery tables B and C. In addition, the winning probability of the re-gamer is not limited to this.

In the bonus combination lottery table, the winning probability of the small combination is set to about 1 / 1.1. Thereby, the bonus game is a game different from the normal game, specifically, a game that is more advantageous for the player than the normal game.
In addition, the determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit with the combination lottery table and determines whether one of the plurality of combinations is won or lost. Specifically, when the determination means determines whether one of a plurality of winning combinations has been won or lost, it appropriately uses a combination lottery table according to the gaming state and the re-playing player lottery state at that time. The determination is performed. For example, the determination means selects the normal combination lottery table A when the game state is the normal state and the re-game player lottery state is the medium probability state, and the game state is the normal state and the re-game player When the lottery state is the first low probability state, the normal combination lottery table B is selected, and when the gaming state is the normal state and the re-game lottery state is the second low probability state, The normal combination lottery table C is selected, and the normal combination lottery table D is selected when the game state is the normal state and the re-game combination lottery state is the high probability state.

Further, for example, when the gaming state is the internal middle state and the re-gamer lottery state is the medium probability state, the determination means selects the internal middle role lottery table A, and the gaming state is the internal middle state. If the lottery state of the re-gamer is the first low probability state, the internal middle-role lottery table B is selected, and the game state is the internal-middle state and the re-gamer lottery state is the second low-rank state. If it is in the probable state, the internal medium drawing lottery table C is selected, and if the game state is the internal medium state and the lottery state of the re-gamer is in a high probability state, the internal medium drawing lottery table D is selected. Select.
Further, for example, when the gaming state is a bonus state, the determination means selects a bonus combination lottery table. In the bonus state, the lottery state of the re-gamer is set to the no lottery state.

When any of the winning combinations is won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100, a winning flag corresponding to the winning winning combination is established. In addition, when a plurality of winning combinations are won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100, winning flags corresponding to each of the winning combinations are established. When the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination in the winning lottery is stopped and displayed on any active winning line while this flag is established, the player can pay out medals or bonus games. Etc. are granted.
Here, the winning flag includes a small role winning flag (Bell 1 winning flag to Bell 28 winning flag, watermelon winning flag, cherry winning) that is established when the result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100 is a winning of a small role. Flag, control role winning flag, special 1 role winning flag and special 2 role winning flag) and replay winning flag (replay A) that is established when the result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100 is winning of the replaying player A winning flag to a replay H winning flag) and a bonus winning flag (BB1 winning flag to BB4 winning flag) that is established when the result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100 is that of a bonus winning combination.

And, although the small role winning flag and the re-game winning flag are valid only in the established game, the bonus winning flag can be carried over to the next game, and the symbols constituting the winning bonus combination This combination is deleted when it is stopped and displayed on any valid pay line.

The execution right generation means 190 generates one or a plurality of execution rights that are rights to execute an ART game and are rights corresponding to each ART game. In the present embodiment, as execution rights, a first execution right that is an execution right to execute a first ART game, a second execution right that is an execution right to execute a second ART game, and an execution right to execute a third ART game And a third execution right.

In the present embodiment, the execution right generation means 190 performs AT lottery to determine whether or not to generate any execution right according to a predetermined opportunity (winning a watermelon role, cherry role or bonus role by a role lottery). I do. Then, the execution right generation means 190 performs a number selection lottery for selecting how many execution rights are to be generated when winning by the AT lottery. Based on the result of the number selection lottery, the type (type) and number of execution rights to be generated are determined.
If the result of the AT lottery is lost, the number selection lottery is not performed and the right to execute is not generated.
Further, in the present embodiment, the execution right generation means 190 performs a number selection lottery at a fixed opportunity.

Here, the “confirmation opportunity” is determined in advance to always generate at least one execution right. In the present embodiment, the following triggers are set as final triggers.
(1) Winning order Lip C in the normal state by winning lottery (single uniform occurrence)
(2) Having won the batting order Lip D2 role by lottery in an internal state where the right to win the role of BB4 is carried over (there is a single uniform occurrence)
(3) Winning order lip D3 role was won by winning lottery in the internal state (single uniform occurrence occurred)
(4) Winning order lip D4 role was won by lottery in the normal state or in the internal state (single uniform occurrence occurred)
(5) Winning order lip D5 role was won by lottery in the normal state or internal state (double alignment occurred)
(6) Winning JAC2 role by winning lottery in bonus state ("Red 7" or "Black 7" matches occur)
(7) When the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, specifically, when the bonus winning signal is received, the count value of the game number counter is set to the first ceiling game number ( (8) The count value of the game number counter reaches the second ceiling game number (for example, 1300 times) reached after reaching the first ceiling game number. The corresponding second threshold has been reached. Note that the confirmation opportunity is not limited to this. In addition, the execution right generation means 190 is more likely to have a fixed opportunity (double (above) (5)) than a fixed opportunity (single (1) to (4) above). The number selection lottery can be performed so that more execution rights can be selected. In addition, the execution right generation means 190 has a count value of the game number counter that is greater than the second threshold value than the fixed opportunity (the trigger of (7) above) that the count value of the game number counter has reached the first threshold value. The number selection lottery can be performed so that more execution rights can be selected when the decision opportunity (reason (8) above) is reached.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a predetermined trigger or a final trigger occurs in the AT state, the execution right generation means 190 specifically specifies “first AT state < The AT lottery or the number selection lottery is performed so that more execution rights can be generated in the order of the second AT state <the third AT state ”. For example, the execution right generation means 190 may perform an AT lottery so that an execution right is likely to be generated (so that it is easy to win) in the order of “first AT state <second AT state <third AT state”. it can. Further, for example, the execution right generation means 190 can perform the number selection lottery so that more execution rights can be selected in the order of “first AT state <second AT state <third AT state”. That is, in this embodiment, it is easy to stock execution rights in the order of “first AT state <second AT state <third AT state”, and in the order of “first ART game <second ART game <third ART game”. Thus, the game is advantageous to the player.

Note that the execution right generation means 190 may determine whether to execute any execution right and how many execution rights to generate by one lottery.
In the number selection lottery, a plurality of types of execution rights can be selected. In addition, in the number selection lottery, an execution right (“first execution right <second execution right <third”) is more advantageous for the player than the final opportunity when a single match occurs. The order of “execution rights” can be easily selected. Similarly, in the number selection lottery, the confirmation trigger for the count value of the game counter reaching the second threshold value is greater than that for the count value of the game counter value reaching the first threshold value. Thus, it is possible to easily select an execution right that is more advantageous for the player. Similarly, in the number selection lottery, it is possible to easily select an execution right that is more advantageous to the player according to the AT state.

(Execution rights stock means 200)
The execution right stock unit 200 stocks (stores) the execution right generated by the execution right generation unit 190 for each type of execution right. In the present embodiment, the execution right stock means 200 stocks the first stock counter for stocking the first execution right, the second stock counter for stocking the second execution right, and the third execution right. And a third stock counter. Hereinafter, the first stock counter, the second stock counter, and the third stock counter are collectively referred to as “stock counter”.
The execution right stock unit 200 sets a predetermined value corresponding to the number of execution rights generated by the execution right generation unit 190 (in this embodiment, a predetermined value corresponding to one execution right is “1”). ) Is added to the stock counter corresponding to the type (type) of execution right that has occurred. For example, when two first execution rights are generated, the execution right stock means 200 adds a predetermined value (“2” in the present embodiment) corresponding to the two execution rights to the first stock counter. To do.

Further, in the present embodiment, the execution right stock means 200 executes the execution corresponding to the ART game to be executed when the lottery state of the re-gamer becomes a high probability state in the AT state and one set of ART games is started. Erase one right. Specifically, the execution right stock means 200 subtracts a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one execution right from the stock counter corresponding to the AT state at that time.
(Specific starting right generation means 210)
The specific start right generation means 210 has one or more specific start rights that are a right to start one set of ART games at a specific number of games when at least one execution right is stocked by the execution right stock means 200. Can be generated. In the present embodiment, the specific number of games is set to “0”.

Then, the specific start right generation means 210 immediately releases whether or not to generate one or a plurality of specific start rights within the range of the number of execution rights generated when an execution right is generated at a predetermined trigger. Make a lottery. In addition, when the result of the immediate release lottery is lost, the specific start right is not generated.
Further, the specific start right generation means 210 performs a release number selection lottery that selects how many specific start rights are generated within the range of the number of generated execution rights when an execution right is generated by a fixed opportunity. . In this discharge number selection lottery, at least one specific start right is generated.
In addition, the specific start right generation means 210 has at least one execution right stocked by the execution right stock means 200 when the bonus game winning right is carried over at the end of one set of ART games. When a specific start right is not stocked by the specific start right stock means 220 described later, specifically, one of the stock counters is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one execution right. And the number of execution rights stocked when an immediate release counter (to be described later) is less than a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one specific start right (specifically, “0”). Within the range, the number of discharges is selected. As a result, at least one specific start right is generated.

Also, the specific start right generating means 210 generates one specific start right when a bonus combination is won by a combination lottery during an AT game in a state of preparation for starting an ART game.
(Specific starting right stock means 220)
The specific start right stock means 220 stocks (stores) the specific start right generated by the specific start right generation means 210. In the present embodiment, the specific start right stock means 220 includes an immediate release counter for stocking the specific start right.
The specific start right stock unit 220 then sets a predetermined value corresponding to the number of specific start rights generated by the specific start right generation unit 210 (in this embodiment, a predetermined value corresponding to one specific start right is “1”. Is added to the immediate release counter. For example, when two specific start rights are generated, the specific start right stock means 220 adds a predetermined value (“2” in the present embodiment) corresponding to the two specific start rights to the immediate release counter. To do.

Further, the specific start right stock means 220 is used when an AT game is executed at a specific number of games ("0 times") after one set of ART games is finished, and when one set of ART games is executed, or When the AT game is executed at a specific number of games after the bonus game ends, and when one set of ART games is executed, one specific start right is deleted. Specifically, the specific start right stock means 220 subtracts a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one specific start right from the immediate release counter.
(Execution right switching means 230)
When at least one execution right is stocked by the execution right stocking means 200, the execution right switching means 230 switches the stocked execution right to an execution right corresponding to another ART game. As described above, in the present embodiment, the three types of ART games are games advantageous to the player in the order of “first ART game <second ART game <third ART game”. For this reason, the execution rights are also advantageous to the player in the order of “first execution right <second execution right <third execution right”.

In the present embodiment, the execution right switching means 230, when at least one first execution right is stocked by the execution right stock means 200, determines that the execution rights stored are more than the execution rights. Switch to an execution right (second execution right or third execution right) that is advantageous to the player.
Specifically, the execution right switching means 230 was not generated by the execution right generation means 190 in the AT state at a predetermined opportunity (winning a watermelon role, a cherry role, or a bonus role by a role lottery). In this case, when at least one first execution right is stocked by the execution right stock means 200, specifically, the first stock counter has a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one first execution right. When this is the case, a lottery for switching whether to switch the first execution right to the second execution right or the third execution right is performed. As the lottery objects of this switching lottery, the first winning that switches one first execution right to the second execution right, the second winning and the lose that switches one first execution right to the third execution right are set. Yes.

The execution right switching means 230 subtracts a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one execution right from the first stock counter when the result of the switching lottery is the first winning, A predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to the execution right is added to the second stock counter. Similarly, when the result of the switching lottery is the second winning, a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one execution right is subtracted from the first stock counter and it corresponds to one execution right. A predetermined value (“1”) is added to the third stock counter.
The switching lottery can be performed within the range of the number of first execution rights stocked based on the value of the first stock counter. That is, when a plurality of first execution rights are stocked, the execution right switching unit 230 switches all or part of the first execution rights to the second execution right or the third execution right. be able to.

Further, the execution right switching unit 230 may switch the second execution right to the third execution right.
In addition, the trigger for switching the execution right is not limited to a predetermined trigger.
(Production state switching control means 240)
The effect state switching control means 240 performs control to switch the effect state between a plurality of effect states. In the present embodiment, the production control device 22 is provided with a management flag for managing each production state, and the production state switching control means 240 uses this management flag as a predetermined value in the RAM of the production control device 22. The effect state is controlled by establishing or deleting in the storage area. In the present embodiment, as the management flag, there are a first AT state flag, a second AT state flag, and a third AT state flag, and a state in which the first AT state flag is established is a first AT state. The state in which the second AT state flag is established is the second AT state, the state in which the third AT state flag is established is the third AT state, and the first AT state flag, the second AT state flag, A state where none of the third AT state flags is established is a normal performance state.

  In the present embodiment, the production state switching control means 240 establishes the management flag according to the release order of the effective rights when a right of execution is generated and stocked in the stock counter during a normal game. And the production state is set to the AT state. Further, in the present embodiment, the execution rights are released in the order of release from the right advantageous to the player, that is, in the order of “third execution right> second execution right> first execution right”. The order to be. In other words, the third execution right is released as long as the third execution right is stocked, and the second execution right is released as long as the second execution right is stocked when the third execution right is not stocked. If the third execution right and the second execution right are not stocked, the first execution right is released as long as the first execution right is stocked.

Further, in the present embodiment, the production state switching control means 240 includes an ART game number counter that counts the number of times of ART games, and the production state switching control means 240 is configured to start when one set of ART games starts. The ART game number counter is reset to the initial value, and the number of ART games is started. Then, the performance state switching control means 240 gives a predetermined value (“1” in the present embodiment) corresponding to one game to the ART game as the game is executed (for example, triggered by the operation of the start switch 33). Add to the count counter. Thereby, the production state switching control means 240 counts the number of games of one set of ART games.
In the present embodiment, when the execution right stock means 200 does not stock the execution right when the one set of ART game is finished, the production state switching control means 240 is concretely all stock counters. Is less than a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one execution right (specifically, “0”), the established management flag is deleted, and the effect state is changed to the normal effect state. Set.

In the present embodiment, the production state switching control means 240 is in a state where the right to win the bonus combination is carried over when one set of ART games is finished, and the execution right stock means 200 has the right to execute. When stocked, the established management flag is deleted, and the production state is set to the normal production state.
In addition, when the one set of ART game is finished, the production state switching control unit 240 has the execution right stocked by the execution right stock unit 200 in a state where the right to win the bonus combination is not carried over and is specified. When the specific right is stocked by the start right stock means 220, specifically, when the immediate release counter is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (“1”) corresponding to one specific right, the execution right is released. The production state is set according to the order. For example, when one set of the third ART game is finished and the third execution right is stocked by the execution right stock means 200, the effect state is set to the third AT by keeping the third AT state flag established. Set to state. Also, for example, when one set of the third ART game is finished, if the third execution right is not stocked and the second execution right is stocked by the execution right stock means 200, the third AT state flag is deleted. At the same time, the second AT state flag is established, and the effect state is set to the second AT state.

  In addition, when the one set of ART game is finished, the production state switching control unit 240 has the execution right stocked by the execution right stock unit 200 in a state where the right to win the bonus combination is not carried over and is specified. When the start right stocking means 220 does not stock the specific start right, a release lottery is performed to determine whether or not to release the execution right at a specific number of games (“0”). Then, when the result of the release lottery is won, the effect state switching control unit 240 sets the effect state according to the execution right release order. On the other hand, when the result of the release lottery is lost, the production state switching control means 240 deletes the established management flag, sets the production state to the normal production state, and releases the execution right. Set the number of latent games (for example, 32 times) that is the number of games, and when the set number of latent games has passed, the management flag is established according to the order of releasing the execution rights on the condition that the bonus combination is not won And the production state is set to the AT state. In this case, the number of latent games may be determined without performing the release lottery.

Further, the production state switching control means 240 is established when the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the effective winning line during the ART game, specifically, when the bonus winning signal is received. The management flag is deleted and the production state is set to the normal production state.
In addition, when the bonus game is ended, the production state switching control means 240 has the execution right stocked by the execution right stock means 200 and the specific start right stock means 220 has stocked the specific start right. The production state is set according to the execution right release order.

In step 106, the game control means 60 determines whether or not the rotation of all the rotary reels 45 has stopped. Here, if it is determined that the rotation of all the rotating reels 45 has stopped, the routine proceeds to step 107. On the other hand, if it is determined that the rotation of all the rotating reels 45 has not stopped, the process returns to step 104.

In step 107, the stop symbol determination means 130 performs stop display symbol determination processing for determining a combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, and the determination result is transmitted to the effect control device 22. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 108.
In step 108, the game control means 60 performs processing according to the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed. For example, when a combination of symbols constituting any small combination is stopped and displayed, the game control means 60 pays out the number of medals corresponding to the combination. In addition, for example, when a combination of symbols constituting any of the re-game players is stopped and displayed on the active winning line, the game control means 60 performs a process for executing the re-game, specifically, Processing for automatically betting the same number of medals as the number of bets made in this game is performed.

Further, for example, the gaming state transition control means 140 performs processing relating to transition of the gaming state. Specifically, for example, when any bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the active winning line, the gaming state is shifted to a bonus state corresponding to the combination and, for example, a bonus game ending condition is established. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to the normal state.
Further, for example, the re-gamer lottery state control means 150 performs processing related to the re-gamer lottery state. Specifically, for example, when the replay C combination is stopped and displayed on the active winning line in the medium probability state, the lottery state of the re-playing combination is set to the high probability state, and for example, the blank symbol in the medium probability state Is stopped and displayed on the active winning line, the lottery state of the replaying role is set to the second low probability state, and for example, in the medium probability state, the Replay A role, Replay B role, Replay E role or Bell When the 1st to 27th bells are stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, the lottery state of the re-gamer is set to the first low probability state. Then, the main control process ends.

Next, sub control processing that is processing in the effect control device 22 of the slot machine 10 will be described.
In step 200 shown in FIG. 16, the management state control means 170 performs a game start management state setting process for setting a management state when a game is started. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.
In step 201, the game number counting means 180 performs a game number counting process for counting the number of games. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202.
In step 202, it is determined whether or not the count value of the game number counter is the second threshold value. Here, if it is determined that the second threshold value is reached, the routine proceeds to step 203. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not the second threshold value, the routine proceeds to step 204.

In step 203, a ceiling stock process is performed in which an execution right is generated and stocked based on the game number counter reaching the first threshold value or the second threshold value. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 204, the management state control means 170 performs a game end management state setting process for setting a management state when the game ends. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 205.
In step 205, it is determined whether or not the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination has been stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, specifically, whether or not a bonus winning signal has been received. Here, if it is determined that the display is stopped, the process proceeds to step 206. On the other hand, if it is determined that the stop display is not performed, the sub-control processing ends.

In step 206, it is determined whether or not the count value of the game number counter has reached the first threshold value, specifically, whether or not it is greater than or equal to the first threshold value. If it is determined that the first threshold value has been reached, the process proceeds to step 207. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first threshold value has not been reached, the sub-control process ends.
In step 207, a ceiling stock process is performed in which an execution right is generated and stocked based on the fact that the game number counter has reached the first threshold value or the second threshold value. Then, the sub control process ends.
Next, the game start time management state setting process in step 200 will be described.

In step 300 shown in FIG. 17, it is determined whether or not a bonus combination is won, specifically, whether or not a bonus winning signal is received. Here, if it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to step 301. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game has not been won, the game start management state setting process ends.
In step 301, it is determined whether or not an ART game is in progress, specifically, whether or not the performance state is the AT state and the lottery state of the re-gamer is a high probability state. Here, if it is determined that the ART game is being played, the routine proceeds to step 302. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ART game is not being played, the process proceeds to step 303.

In step 302, the management state is maintained in the ART gaming state which is the currently set management state. Then, the game start time management state setting process ends.
In step 303, the management state control means 170 sets the management state to the internal medium state. Then, the game start time management state setting process ends.
Next, the game count processing in step 201 described above will be described.
In step 400 shown in FIG. 18, it is determined whether or not the management state is set to an internal state or a bonus game state. Here, if it is determined that neither the internal medium state nor the bonus game state is set, that is, the normal game state or the ART game state is set, the process proceeds to step 401. On the other hand, if it is determined that the internal medium state or the bonus game medium state is set, the game number counting process ends.

In step 401, the game number counting means 180 adds “1”, which is a predetermined value corresponding to one game, to the game number counter. Then, the game count process ends.
Next, the game end management state setting process in step 204 will be described.
In step 500 shown in FIG. 19, it is determined whether or not a combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, specifically, whether or not a bonus pay signal is received. If it is determined that the display is stopped, the process proceeds to step 501. On the other hand, if it is determined that the stop display is not made, the process proceeds to step 502.

In step 501, the management state control means 170 sets the management state to the bonus gaming state. Then, the game end management state setting process ends.
In step 502, whether or not one set of ART games is started, specifically, when the performance state is the AT state and the lottery state of the re-gamer is the second low probability state or the medium probability state, It is determined whether or not a game state command indicating that the lottery state of the re-gamer is a high probability state is received. Here, if it is determined to start, the process proceeds to step 503. On the other hand, if it is determined not to be started, the process proceeds to step 504.
In step 503, the management state control means 170 sets the management state to the ART gaming state. Then, the game end management state setting process ends.

In step 504, whether or not one set of ART games is finished, specifically, whether or not the ART game number counter has reached a predetermined value (“40”) corresponding to one set of game numbers in the AT state. To be judged. If it is determined that the process is to end, the process proceeds to step 505. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game will not end, the game end time management state setting process ends.
In step 505, it is determined whether or not the right to win the bonus combination is carried over, specifically, until the ART game number counter reaches a predetermined value (“40”) corresponding to one set of game numbers. It is determined whether a bonus winning signal has been received and a bonus winning signal has not been received. If it is determined that the right to win the bonus combination is carried over, the process proceeds to step 506. On the other hand, if it is determined that the right to win the bonus combination is not carried over, the process proceeds to step 507.

In step 506, the management state control means 170 sets the management state to the internal medium state. Then, the game end management state setting process ends.
In step 507, the management state is set to the normal gaming state by the management state control means 170. Then, the game end management state setting process ends.
Next, the ceiling stock process in step 203 and step 207 described above will be described.
In step 600 shown in FIG. 20, the execution right generation means 190 performs a number selection lottery process for performing a number selection lottery. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 601.

In step 601, execution right stock means 200 performs execution right stock processing for adding a predetermined value corresponding to the number of generated execution rights to a stock counter corresponding to the type (type) of execution right that has occurred. Then, the ceiling stock process ends.
(Action / Effect)
As described above, in the present embodiment, the ART game is a game in which one set of 40 times from when the re-gamer's lottery state is set to the high probability state until it is set to the medium probability state. Yes. In the present embodiment, the lottery state of the re-gamer is not changed when the bonus combination is won by the combination lottery. Therefore, the ART game according to the present embodiment is a so-called complete-type ART game that does not end when the bonus combination is won.

In the present embodiment, the number of games is counted, and when the counted number of games reaches the first ceiling game number or the second ceiling game number, the execution right (the number of ART game sets) is stocked. Has a ceiling function. In this embodiment, the count of the number of games related to this ceiling function is controlled based on the management state.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the management state is set to the normal gaming state, when the bonus combination is won by the lottery, the management state is set to the internal state, and the bonus When the combination of symbols that make up the winning combination is stopped on the active pay line, the management state is set to the bonus gaming state, and when the bonus game ends, the management state is set to the normal gaming state. To do. In addition, when one set of ART games starts, the management state is set to the ART game in-progress state, and when one set of ART games ends, the right to win the bonus combination is not carried over. Sometimes, the management state is set to the normal gaming state, while when the bonus combination winning right is carried over, the management state is set to the internal middle state. In addition, when the bonus combination is won by the combination lottery in the ART gaming state, the management state is maintained in the ART gaming state.

In the present embodiment, in a game in which the management state is set to a management state other than the internal state or the bonus game state, the number of games is counted, but the management state is the internal state or the bonus game state. In games set to, the number of games is not counted. That is, in the present embodiment, even if a bonus combination is won by a combination lottery during a set of ART games, the number of games is continuously counted until the set is completed.
As described above, in this embodiment, the number of games continues even if a bonus combination is won by winning a lottery during a set of ART games. When the number of ceiling games of 1 or the number of games of the second ceiling is reached, the player can benefit from the ceiling. As a result, according to the present embodiment, when a bonus combination is won during an ART game, it is possible to prevent the ART game from being meaningless until the end of the subsequent run. It is possible to achieve both the playability of the ART game and the playability of the ceiling function, and the fun of the game can be improved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the number of games can be easily counted by setting the management state in the production control device 22.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, when one set of ART games is completed, when the bonus combination winning right is being carried over, the management state is set to the internal middle state. A game unintended by the designer, such as trying to reach the first number of ceiling games or the second number of ceiling games by preventing the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination from being stopped and displayed on the active winning line. Therefore, the number of games can be counted appropriately, and the balance of the games can be kept appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, during the ART game, when a bonus combination is won by a combination lottery, a bonus notification effect is performed. According to the present embodiment, the number of games continues to be counted even if a bonus combination is won by a combination lottery during a set of ART games. In addition to preventing this, the subsequent ART game can be completed comfortably. Specifically, if the count of the number of games ends when winning a bonus combination by lot drawing during an ART game, for example, during an ART game, the bonus combination was won immediately before reaching the first ceiling game number In this case, the execution of the bonus notification effect will make you feel the regret and disappointment of the fact that you have reached the first number of ceiling games in addition to the joy of winning the bonus role. The feeling of disappointment reduces the joy of winning the bonus role and makes it impossible to complete the subsequent ART game comfortably. However, according to the present embodiment, since the player does not feel such disappointment or disappointment by executing the bonus notification effect, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being reduced by executing the bonus notification effect. It is possible to complete the subsequent ART game comfortably. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the bonus notification effect is executed, the remaining number of games until the first ceiling game number is reached is the remaining number of games until one set of ART games is completed. If the number is less than that, the bonus notification effect is also a definite effect in which it is practically determined that the first number of ceiling games is reached. In this case, a new game in which the first ceiling game number can be reached by the player's own action not to stop and display the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination on the effective winning line. Can provide sex.
