A lottery means (210) for performing a lottery, a point lottery means (260) for lottering points according to the lottery result or game result of the part lottery means (210), and a predetermined initial value Point storage means (270) for counting and storing the number of points determined by the point lottery means (260) as the number of points, and the number of points drawn by the point lottery means (260) An addition point to be added to the number of points stored in the storage means (270) and a subtraction point to be subtracted are included, and the second game has a predetermined number of points stored by the point storage means (270) Set to end when the value reaches It is characterized by being.

Here, the “second game” includes a performance state in which notification regarding the winning combination such as assist time (AT) and assist replay time (ART) is performed, but is not limited to this, and transition to AT Games that are advantageous to the player are included, such as a high probability state of AT with a high probability, a chance zone, and a state with a high probability of transition to an added gaming state in which an AT or ART gaming section is likely to be extended.
The “predetermined game section” means a section until the number of points stored by the point storage means (270) reaches a predetermined value. It is not a section until the number of sheets reaches a predetermined number.

The “predetermined value” includes, for example, a case where the subtraction point is “0” as a result of lottery, but is not limited to this. "Is also included. As a result, the predetermined game section is extended by adding the additional points, and the predetermined game section is shortened by lottering the subtraction points, and the predetermined points are added by adding the additional points. The game section can be shortened, and a case where a predetermined game section is extended by drawing a subtraction point can be included.
For example, when the predetermined value is set to “0”, when the number of points stored in the point storage means (270) is “2” in a certain second game, subtraction is performed by point lottery. The second game can be ended even when “5” is determined as the point and the number of subtraction points is counted below “0”. Similarly, when the predetermined value is set to “300”, in a certain second game, when the number of points stored by the point storage means (270) is “290”, the added points are determined by the point lottery. "11" is determined, and the second game can be ended even when "300" is exceeded when the additional points are counted.

The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed such that a profit is given to a player when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is arranged on the active line 86. For example, when the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the small combination are arranged on the active line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is awarded to the player.
The winning probability of the role lottery is set in a plurality of stages, in this embodiment, six stages (setting 1 to setting 6), and setting 1 is the lowest and setting 6 is the highest.

  In addition, when the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the re-playing role (replaying role) is arranged on the active line 86, the medal is not paid out, but the bet number is automatically used in the next game without using the medal owned by the player. Can be set and played.

(Role lottery means 210)
The role lottery means 210 executes a role lottery for determining a winning combination. That is, the role lottery means 210 is a means included in the main control board 200, and is used for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to the operation of the start switch 40. It is. The role lottery means 210 has a lottery table for determining whether or not a winning combination is won for the normal state, the general state, the RT state, the internal winning state, and the bonus state. Correspondingly, a plurality are provided and stored on the ROM of the main control board 200. The role lottery means 210 compares predetermined lottery data with random numbers extracted from random numbers generated by predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The processing by the combination lottery means 210 is performed in step S11 (see FIG. 23) described later.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control unit 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery unit 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. Note that the reel control means 220 may set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (pushing order) when the stop switches 50 are operated to stop meets a predetermined condition as necessary. The processing by the reel control means 220 is performed in step S12 (see FIG. 23) described later.

(Stop symbol judging means 230)
The stop symbol determining means 230 is a means provided in the main control board 200, for storing a combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped, and determining a winning etc. is there. The process by the stop symbol determination means 230 is performed in step S13 (see FIG. 20) described later.

(Discharge control means 240)
The payout control means 240 is for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. The payout control means 240 pays out medals when it is determined that the small role is winning as a result of the determination by the stop symbol determining means 230.

(Game control means 250)
The game control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the game control means 250 is roughly divided into general game control means 251, internal winning state control means 255, and bonus game control means 256.

(General game control means 251)
The general game control means 251 controls the progress of the “general game state”. Here, the “general game state” includes “normal state”, “general state”, and “RT state” as described later with reference to FIG.
Specifically, the general game control unit 251 includes a normal state control unit 252, a general state control unit 253, and an RT control unit 254.

(Normal state control means 252)
The normal state control means 252 controls the “normal state” (non-RT).
Here, “non-RT” means a non-operating state of “RT”. “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when “RT” is entered, the lottery probability of winning a replay, that is, the replay probability increases. “RT” has three types of “RT1” to “RT3”, “RT2” has the highest probability, “RT3” is the next highest, and “RT1” is the lowest.

(General state control means 253)
The general state control means 253 controls the “general state” (RT1). When “normal state” (non-RT) shifts to “general state” (RT1), “RT” is activated, and “RT1” at this time has a lower probability of winning the re-gamer than “RT2”. Yes.

(RT control means 254)
The RT control means 254 controls the “RT state” (RT2).
The “RT state” is called “replay time”, and the winning probability of the re-gamer is set higher than the “general state” (RT1), and is in the “high probability state” (RT2).

(Internal winning state control means 255)
The internal winning state control means 255 controls the “internally winning state” (RT3).
Transition to the “internal winning state” (RT3) is made by winning a bonus transition combination. When shifting from the “general state” to the “internally winning state”, “RT3” at this time has a higher probability of winning the re-gamer than “RT1”. When transitioning to the “medium state”, “RT3” at this time is set to have a lower probability of winning the re-gamer than “RT2”.

(Bonus game control means 256)
The bonus game control means 256 controls the “bonus game state”.
The “bonus game state” shifts to the “internal winning state” by aligning “bonus symbols”, so-called “BB” and “RB” operate continuously, and a predetermined number, “BB” in the present embodiment. In the case of “RB”, the game ends with the payout of more than 48 medals, and in the case of “RB”, the process proceeds to the “normal state”.

(Point lottery means 260)
The point lottery means 260 is for drawing the number of points according to the lottery result of the role lottery means 210.
Specifically, the point lottery means 260 draws the number of points using a lottery table, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 16 to 20, according to the lottery result of the role lottery means 210.
Then, the number of points determined by the lottery by the point lottery means 260 is used for continuation of the AT in the AT state and the ART state, which will be described later with reference to FIG.

Here, the lottery table used for lottery of the point lottery means 260 includes an addition point lottery table used for lottery of addition points to be added to the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 described later, and a lottery of subtraction points to be subtracted. And a subtraction point lottery table used in the above.
Note that the present invention is not limited to the case where both the addition point lottery table and the subtraction point lottery table are provided, and the addition point and the subtraction point may be lottery by one lottery table.
That is, a numerical value of “minus” corresponding to a subtraction point such as “−10”, “−5”, “0”, “+5”, “+10” and “plus” corresponding to an addition point is assigned to one lottery table. You may make it draw lots.

In addition, the point lottery means 260 performs lottery of the number of points using either the addition point lottery table or the subtraction point lottery table, and in this embodiment, using the addition point lottery table. On the other hand, in the case of not winning, in the present embodiment, it is set so that the number of points is drawn using the subtraction point lottery table.
In addition, it is not limited to a case where a lottery using one lottery table is not won and a lottery using the other lottery table is used, and depending on a lottery result of the role lottery means 210, an addition point lottery table is used. It may be determined in advance whether the lottery or the lottery is performed using the subtraction point table. That is, when the lottery result of the combination lottery means 210 is “losing”, it may be determined in advance that the lottery is performed using the subtraction point lottery table, and in the case of rare combination winning, the lottery is performed using the addition point lottery table.

Further, the point lottery means 260 is not limited to the case where the number of points is drawn in accordance with the lottery result of the role lottery means 210, and so-called duplication in which the winning combination differs depending on the game result, for example, the pressing order of the stop switch 50. When winning the winning combination, etc., the number of points may be drawn according to the pressing order of the stop switch 50.
More specifically, in the case of so-called forward pushing, the number of points is drawn using the subtraction point lottery table, and in the case other than forward pushing, the number of points is drawn using the addition point lottery table. Also good.

  Further, the addition point lottery table includes a first addition point lottery table A and a second addition point lottery table A, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 16, and the point lottery means 260 includes the point lottery means. As a result of the lottery of the number of points by 260, when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 becomes a predetermined value, in this embodiment, “0”, the second addition point lottery table A is stored. It is used to draw lots of addition points.

  That is, when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 reaches a predetermined value, the AT is set to end as will be described later. Lottery points can be drawn back to the AT, and if the role is easy to win, the points will be drawn in the case of a rare role so that the points will not be drawn easily. The lottery table is switched from the first addition point lottery table A to the second addition point lottery table A.

In addition, the subtraction point lottery table, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 17, includes a first subtraction point lottery table and a second subtraction point lottery table in which subtraction points are more likely to be lottered than the first subtraction point lottery table. In the case of a high probability state described later with reference to FIG. 15, the first subtraction point lottery table is used.
In other words, the possibility that lottery points will be drawn is reduced, so that it is possible to stay longer in a high probability state.

(Point storage means 270)
The point storage means 270 counts and stores the number of points determined by the point lottery means 260 to a predetermined initial number of points.
Further, the point storage means 270 counts the number of points determined by the point lottery means 260 until the start of the game next to the game of the point lottery, and the first point display means 84a and the second point display means 84a Since the point display means 84b updates and displays the displayed number of points when the number of points is counted by the point storage means 270, the lottery result of the point lottery means 260 is displayed to the player. Notification can be made immediately.

The point storage means 270 is set so that the number of stored points does not fluctuate when neither the addition points nor the subtraction points are drawn by the point lottery means 260.
As a result, even if the number of games is digested and AT profits are obtained, if neither addition points nor subtraction points are drawn, the AT game area is not shortened and profits are obtained again. Can be expected.

(AT control means 280)
The AT control means 280 is for controlling “AT” in the “AT state” and the “ART state”. And the effect etc. which alert | report the pushing order of the stop switch 50 are performed using the AT effect control means 330 mentioned later.
The “AT state” is also called “assist time”, and when the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified is started, and a stop switch according to the notified pressing order. By operating 50, the combination of symbols of the selected small role can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out. In the present embodiment, the “AT state” is controlled on the main control board 200 side. At this time, when the state shifts to the “RT state” (RT2) controlled by the RT control means 254 on the main control board 200 side. , “ART” state is entered. The “ART” state is a gaming state of “RT state” (high probability state of replay probability) and “AT state”.

Further, the AT control means 280 performs AT processing when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 is subtracted to “0”, which is a numerical value smaller than the initial value in this embodiment. Is set to exit.
In this case, when the addition points are drawn by the point lottery means 260, the AT game section is extended, and when the subtraction points are drawn, the AT game section is shortened.
Note that the present invention is not limited to the case where the value is subtracted to “0”, and may be terminated when the value is added to “1000”, for example.
In this case, when the addition points are drawn by the point lottery means 260, the AT game section is shortened, and when the subtraction points are drawn, the AT game section is extended.

  Although the “AT state” is controlled by the AT control means 280 arranged on the main control board 200 side, the present invention is not limited to this, and all or part of the “AT state” is controlled on the sub control board 300 side. Also good.

Further, the AT control means 280 includes a shift lottery means 271 as shown in FIG.
(Transition lottery means 271)
The transfer lottery means 271 determines whether to shift to the AT state by lottery (transfer lottery).

(Transmission means 290)
The transmission means 290 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control board 300.

(Sub control board 300)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub control board 300 includes receiving means 310, normal effect control means 320, AT effect control means 330, and bonus effect control means 340. Details of each means will be described later. The AT effect control means 330 may be included in the main progress control means 200 instead of the sub control board 300.

With the above configuration, the sub control board 300 receives a signal from the main control board 200 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.
Specifically, the production control means 300 outputs data defining the turning on and off of LEDs to an LED driving circuit (not shown) for driving the lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Data for defining audio to be output to an audio output circuit (not shown) for output, and video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84 Or output data to be processed.

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 290.

(Normal production control means 320)
The normal effect control means controls the effect of the normal game (game in the normal state) shown in FIG.
Here, the normal game means a state other than AT by the AT control means 280.

(AT effect control means 330)
The AT effect control means 330 controls the AT effect, which is an example of the second game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state, which is an example of the first game, during the predetermined game section, for example, the main control board 200. When the command for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is received from the AT control means 280, an effect or the like for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is executed.
Here, the second game includes AT and ART as described above in the present embodiment, but is not limited to AT and ART, and may be other games.
The AT effect control means 330 includes point display control means 331 as shown in FIG.

(Point display control means 331)
The point display control unit 331 displays the number of points stored in the point storage unit 270 using the point display units 84a and 84b.
Here, the point display means 84a and 84b are allocated to a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 84, and will be described later with reference to FIG. 21, but are stored by the point storage means 270 within a range of predetermined specified values. First point display means 84a capable of displaying the number of points to be displayed, and second point display means 84b capable of displaying the number of points exceeding the predetermined specified value when the number of points exceeds a predetermined specified value. It consists of.

The point display control means 331 uses the first point display means 84a and the second point display means 84b to update the displayed number of points when the number of points is counted by the point storage means 270. And display it. That is, when the number of points is drawn by the point lottery means 260 without waiting for the start of the next game and the number of points is counted by the point storage means 270, the number of points is updated and displayed.
Specifically, the main control board 200 transmits information (command) indicating the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 to the sub-control board 300 during the so-called third stop operation. On the other hand, the sub-control board 300 receives and stores the information (command) indicating the transmitted number of points (current remaining number of points), and the point display control means 331 causes the stored point number information (current remaining number of points). Based on the number of points), the number of points is displayed (the display mode is updated) during the so-called third stop operation.
Not limited to this, an initial value point, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 18, is transmitted from the main control board 200, and each time an addition point or a subtraction point is acquired, either the addition point or the subtraction point is determined. The point storage means 270 is obtained by transmitting the number of points so that the sub-control board 300 can count the number of addition points or subtraction points received each time it is acquired based on the transmitted initial value points. The number of points may be displayed.

(Bonus effect control means 340)
The bonus effect control means 340 controls the effect in the bonus game state shown in FIG.

(About the symbol combination of roles)
Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 13, the winning combinations drawn by the winning lottery means 210 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, as the bonus transition combination, there are the BB combination of 1BB to 4BB, the RB combination of the first RB and the second RB, and in the case of the first BB of the BB combination, the symbol combination is the left reel “R7, R7, R7” in the order of 64, middle reel 66, and right reel 68 (hereinafter the same), and the payout (medal payout number) is 0. In the case of the first RB of the RB combination, the symbol combination is “R7, R7, BAR”, and the payout (medal payout number) is 0.

  As shown in FIG. 8, as a replaying player (replay), a normal replay from the first normal replay to the 19th normal replay, a promotion replay from the first promotion replay to the ninth promotion replay, a first fall replay to the 17th fall replay. Fall replay, first special replay to special replay of 9th special replay, the symbol combination is the first normal replay “R7, RP, R7”, the first promoted replay “R7, RP, RP”, the first Fall replay “R7, RP, BL”, first special replay “K1, K1, K1”, etc., and there is no payout (the number of medals paid out) (however, the next game can be started without inserting medals) ing.

  As shown in FIG. 9, there are first to 24th cherries as small roles (cherries), and the symbol combination is the first cherry “WM, R7, BE”, etc., and the payout (medal payout number) is There are four.

  As shown in FIG. 10, there are first to third watermelons as small roles (watermelon roles), the combination of symbols is the first watermelon “BE, BL, K1”, etc., and the payout is 4 pieces. ing.

As shown in FIG. 11, as the small role (bell role), the first push order bell A to the fourth push order bell A push order bell A, the first push order bell B to the fourth push order bell role B Push order bell B, push order bell C of first push order bell C to fourth push order bell C, left correct answer bell of first left bell to fourth left bell, middle correct answer bell of first middle bell, first There are right bell to right right bell, right bell, etc., and the symbol combinations are first push order bell A “K1, R7, R7”, first push order bell B “K1, R7, B7”, etc. The dividend is nine.
Here, the left correct answer bell, the middle correct answer bell, and the right correct answer bell are awarded when the left stop switch L, the middle stop switch C, and the right stop switch R among the three stop switches 50 are operated first, respectively. Is a role. When the other stop switch 50 is operated first, as shown in FIG. 13, which will be described later, the player wins a loss or push order bell and falls replay.

  As shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 13, as a result of the role lottery, CRP2 in which the first normal replay and special replay (first special replay to ninth special replay) are won at the same time (duplicate win) or the left correct bell , LBE1 etc. are provided in which push order bell A (first push order bell A to fourth push order bell A), fall replay (first fall replay to 17th fall replay) are won simultaneously (duplicate win). Yes.

(Description of gaming state using FIG. 14)
Next, the “game state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “gaming state” is managed by the main control board 200. As shown in FIG. 14, the “gaming state” is roughly divided into “general gaming state”, “internal winning state” (RT3), and “bonus gaming state”. is there. “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when “RT” is entered, a lottery probability of winning a re-game player, that is, a re-game probability increases. There are three types of “RT”, “RT1” to “RT3”, “RT2” has the highest probability, and the remaining “RT1” and “RT3” have a lower replay probability than “RT2” and are almost equal. Is set.

  The “general game state” is controlled by the general game control means 251, and includes “normal state” (non-RT), “general state” (RT1), and “RT state” (RT2). Here, “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when “RT” is entered, the lottery probability of winning a re-game player, that is, the re-game probability increases. There are three types of “RT”, “RT1” to “RT3”, “RT2” has the highest probability, and the remaining “RT1” and “RT3” have a lower replay probability than “RT2” and are almost equal. Is set.

  The “normal state” is managed by the normal state control means 252 and shifts after the “bonus game state” ends.

The “general state” is managed by the general state control means 253, and shifts from the “normal state” when the so-called “RT1 transition symbol” is established.
That is, in the “normal state” of FIG. 14, the “AT state” of FIG. 15 is not reached, so even if the “push order bell” is won, the push order is not notified and the “push order bell” "" Does not win, and shifts to "general state".
In addition, when transitioning from “Bonus Game State” to “Normal State”, even if “Push Order Bell” is won, the push order is not notified temporarily or intentionally, and “Push Order Bell” is won. Without going to “general state”.

The “RT state” is managed by the RT control means 254 and is shifted when a so-called “RT2 transition symbol” is established, and is a high probability state of replay probability.
That is, in the case of “RT state” in FIG. 14, since it is in “AT state” in FIG. 15, the pressing order is notified, but the ART termination condition (in this embodiment, for example, the number of points is If it is subtracted to “0”, it becomes non-AT. For this reason, even if the “push order bell” or the like is won, the push order is not notified, and the “push order bell” is not won, and the state shifts to the “general state”.

  The “in-winning state” is managed by the internal-winning state control means 255, and shifts when a bonus is won during the “normal state”, “general state”, and “RT state”.

The “bonus game state” is managed by the bonus game control means 256, and shifts by aligning the “bonus symbol” with the “internal winning state”.
The “bonus game state” includes “RBB1” and “RBB2”. Here, “RBB1” is a continuous operation of the so-called “BB” and ends when a predetermined number of coins, for example, 204, are paid out. In addition, “RBB2” is continuously operated by the so-called “RB” and ends when a predetermined number of medals, for example, 48, are paid out.

(Description of production state using FIG. 15)
As shown in FIG. 15, the production states include “normal state”, “AT state”, “ART state”, “normal bonus state”, and “special bonus state”.

(Normal state)
The “normal state” effect states include “normal general state” and “ART precursor state”. (Normal general condition)
The “normal general state” is a state excluding a special state such as an “ART precursor state” described later in the “normal state”.
In “normal general state”, the transfer lottery to the “AT state” by the transfer lottery means 281 is performed.

(ART precursor state)
The “ART precursor state” is a state in which a game that is a “predictor” of the transition to the “ART state” that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal state” is executed. There are two types: a so-called “precursor” that has been confirmed, and a so-called “gaseous precursor” that is unconfirmed and may return to the “normal state”. In the case of a “gase sign”, after a predetermined number of games have been consumed, the process returns to the “normal state”. In the case of “Pre-sign”, when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the state shifts to the “AT state”.

(AT state)
The “AT state” is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal game”. When the state shifts to the “AT state”, a game (AT) in which the winning order of the selected small role is notified is started, and by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified pressing order, the symbol of the selected small role is displayed. The combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.
Further, in the “AT state”, point lottery or the like by the point lottery means 260 is performed.
The “AT state” is also an ART ready state, and when the transition pattern to the RT state (RT2), for example, “promotion replay” is won, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the “promotion replay” is notified. To do. When the stop switch 50 is operated according to the notification, the state shifts to “ART state”.

(ART state)
The production state of the “ART state” includes “ART normal state”, “high probability state”, and “additional gaming state”.
The “ART state” is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal state”. When the state shifts to the “ART state”, an AT that is a game in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified and RT2 are started, and by operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified pressing order, The combination of symbols of the combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

  The “ART state” returns to the “normal state” when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 becomes “0” and the bell spilled eyes are displayed. That is, when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 becomes “0”, since the AT is set to end in ART (AT + RT), the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is ended. Accordingly, when the bell spilled eyes (falling replay: RT1 symbol) are displayed, the process returns to the “normal state”. That is, for the bell spilled eyes (tumbling replay: RT1 symbol), the left first stop wins the incorrect answer bell role (for example, the middle correct answer bell), and the push order “incorrect answer” (stop switch 50 at the left first stop) This is a symbol 61 that is stopped and displayed when the operation is performed. Because the AT is finished, the push order is not notified, and the player operates the stop switch 50 with the first stop on the left, so the bell spilled eyes (falling replay: RT1 symbol) will stop even if he wins the bell role Is displayed and shifts to the “normal state”.

  The end of “AT” is not limited to the case where the number of points becomes “0”, but before “0” or when the stop switch 50 is operated without being followed a plurality of times in the notified pressing order, Alternatively, it may be terminated when a special combination is won.

(ART normal state)
The “ART normal state” is a state excluding special states such as “high probability state” and “additional gaming state” described later of the “ART state”.
In the “ART normal state”, a point lottery by the point lottery means 260, a transition lottery to a “high probability state” to be described later, a transition lottery to an “additional gaming state”, and the like are performed.

(High probability state)
The “high probability state” is a state in which the winning probability of the transition lottery to the “additional gaming state” is higher than the “ART normal state”, and the lottery to transition to the “additional gaming state” until the predetermined number of games is consumed. When winning, it shifts to “additional gaming state”, and when not winning, it returns to “ART normal state”.

  In the “high probability state”, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 17, by switching the subtraction point lottery table, the probability of drawing the subtraction points is lowered, and the “high probability state” is easily maintained. The possibility of winning the lottery for transition to the “additional gaming state” is increased.

(Additional gaming state)
The “additional gaming state” is a state in which the addition points are easily drawn by the point lottery means 260. Specifically, even if the addition lottery using the first addition point lottery table A described later is not won, This is a state where an addition point lottery using one addition point lottery table B is performed.
As a result, the subtraction points are not drawn by lottery, and there is a high possibility that the AT game section is extended by lottery of the addition points without shortening the AT game section.

(Normal bonus state)
“Normal Bonus State” is a case where the “Lotus Bonus State” shown in FIG. 14 is won in the “Normal Bonus State”, and the player enters the “Bonus Game State”. This is the state of production. When the transferred “bonus game state” is “RBB1” (BB winning combination), the state shifts to “normal BB state”, and when it is “RBB2” (RB winning combination), “normal RB state”.
When “RBB1” and “RBB2” are finished with a predetermined number of payouts, the “normal state” is restored.

(Special bonus status)
The “special bonus state” wins a lottery (the BB role and the RB role in FIG. 7) to the “bonus game state” shown in FIG. 14 during the “AT state” and “ART state”, and the “bonus game state” It is the production state when transitioning to "". When the transferred “bonus game state” is “RBB1” (BB winning combination), the state shifts to “special BB state”, and when it is “RBB2” (RB winning combination), “special RB state”.
When the state shifts to the “special bonus state”, the “AT state” and the “ART state” are interrupted, and the “AT state”, “RBB2” are terminated by paying out a predetermined number of sheets. Return to "ART state".

(Description of addition / subtraction lottery using FIGS. 16 and 17)
With reference to FIG. 16, a lottery (hereinafter, also referred to as “addition lottery”) for determining whether or not to add points will be described using the addition point lottery table.
The addition lottery is not limited to the case shown in FIG.
During the ART state, the point lottery means 260 determines by lottery whether or not to add an addition point using the addition point lottery table according to the lottery result of the role lottery means 210.
The addition lottery is not limited to the ART state, and may be performed during the AT state (ART preparation state). In this case, at the start of the ART state, the ART is started with the number of points obtained by adding and subtracting the number of points determined by the addition point lottery and subtraction point lottery described later in the AT state to the initial value point described later. .
However, during the AT state (ART preparation state), only the addition lottery may be performed and the subtraction lottery described later may not be performed. In this case, at the start of the ART state, ART is started with the number of points obtained by adding the number of points determined by the addition point lottery to the initial value points.

  Specifically, when the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 is “1 or more”, a lottery using the first addition point lottery table A shown in FIG. If the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “Left correct answer bell”, “Medium correct answer bell”, or “Right correct answer bell”, the number of points will be drawn using the first addition point lottery table with a probability of “12/128”. In the case of “losing”, the probability of drawing the number of points using the first addition point lottery table is set to “0”.

  If it is decided to use the first addition point lottery table to draw addition points, a lottery for the number of points, which will be described later, is executed using FIG. On the other hand, if it is not decided to draw the addition points using the first addition point lottery table, whether or not to draw the subtraction points using the subtraction point lottery table described later with reference to FIG. 17 is determined by lottery. To do.

  Further, when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 is “0”, a lottery using the second addition point lottery table A shown in FIG. If the result of lottery is “left correct answer bell”, “middle correct answer bell”, or “right correct answer bell” win, the probability of drawing the number of points using the second addition point lottery table is set to “0”, In the case of “special replay” winning, it is determined to draw the number of points using the second addition point lottery table with a probability of “128/128”.

  In addition, when it is decided to draw an addition point using the second addition point lottery table, the lottery of the number of points to be described later is executed using FIG. On the other hand, when it is not determined to draw the addition points using the second addition point lottery table, unlike the case where it is not determined to draw the addition points using the first addition point lottery table, FIG. Whether or not to draw using the subtraction point lottery table shown in FIG.

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, a lottery (hereinafter, also referred to as “subtraction lottery”) for determining whether or not to draw a subtraction point using the subtraction point lottery table will be described.
The subtraction lottery is not limited to the case shown in FIG.
The point lottery means 260 subtracts using the subtraction point lottery table shown in FIG. 17 in the case of not winning the lottery for the addition points using the first addition point lottery table shown in FIG. It is determined by lottery whether or not points will be drawn.
Specifically, in the normal state, a lottery is performed using the second subtraction point lottery table A shown in FIG. 17A. For example, the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “left correct answer bell”. In the case of winning the “middle correct answer bell” and “right correct answer bell”, it is set so that the number of points is determined to be determined using the second subtraction point lottery table with a probability of “68/128”.

  In addition, in the case of the highly accurate state of addition, a lottery using the first subtraction point lottery table A shown in FIG. 17B is performed. For example, the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “left correct answer bell” “ In the case of winning the “medium correct bell” and “right correct bell”, it is set so that the number of points is determined to be determined using the second subtraction point lottery table with a probability of “34/128”.

In addition, when it is decided to draw a subtraction point using a subtraction point lottery table, the lottery of the number of points mentioned later using FIG. 20 is performed. On the other hand, when it is not determined to draw the subtraction points using the subtraction point lottery table A in conjunction with the lottery of the addition points using the first addition point lottery table, the points are stored by the point storage means 270. The number of points does not change.
As a result, even if the number of games is digested and AT game profits are obtained, if neither addition points nor subtraction points are drawn, profits will be regained without shortening the AT game game section. It can be expected to get.

(Description of lottery of the number of points using FIGS. 18 to 20)
The initial value point lottery by the point lottery means 260 will be described with reference to FIG.
The initial value point lottery is performed when the start switch 40 of the first game in the ART state shown in FIG. 15 is operated. As shown in FIG. 18, the number of points “50” is a probability of “1/128”. It is set so that “100” is a probability of “124/128”, “200” is a probability of “2/128”, and “300” is a probability of “1/128”.
Note that the initial value point lottery is not limited to the case where the start switch 40 of the first game in the ART state is operated, but during the ART precursor state before the transition to the ART state, or in the AT state (ART preparation). It may be performed during (state). Further, the initial value point lottery is not limited to the one shown in FIG. 18. For example, the number of points may not include “50”.

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, lottery of the number of points to be added (hereinafter also referred to as “addition point lottery”) will be described.
Note that the lottery of the number of points to be added is not limited to the case shown in FIG.
When the addition lottery shown in FIG. 16 is won, the point lottery means 260 determines the number of points of the addition points by lottery according to the lottery result of the role lottery means 210.
Specifically, when the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 is “1 or more” (when the lottery in FIG. 16A is won), the first addition point shown in FIG. A lottery is performed using the lottery table B. For example, if the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “left correct answer bell”, “middle correct answer bell”, or “right correct bell”, it is a point with a probability of “96/128” The number “5” is set so that the number of points “10” is drawn with a probability of “32/128”.

  Similarly, in the case of “Cherry”, the number of points “10” with a probability of “55/128”, the number of points “20” with a probability of “58/128”, and the number of points with a probability of “8/128” “30” has a probability of “4/128”, “50” points, and “1/128” has a probability of “100”, “200”, and “300”. Has been.

  Further, when a lottery for the number of points to be added is won, the points are added to the number of points stored by the point storage means 270.

  Further, when the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 is “0” (when the lottery in FIG. 16B is won), the second addition point lottery table B shown in FIG. For example, when the lottery result of the combination lottery means 210 is “special replay” winning, the number of points “5” is set with a probability of “128/128”.

  Similarly, in the case of “Cherry”, the number of points “20” with a probability of “113/128”, the number of points “30” with a probability of “8/128”, and the number of points with a probability of “4/128” “50” is set so that the points “100”, “200”, and “300” are each drawn with a probability of “1/128”.

Next, a lottery of the number of subtraction points (hereinafter also referred to as “subtraction point lottery”) will be described with reference to FIG.
The lottery of the number of subtraction points is not limited to the case shown in FIG.
When the subtraction lottery shown in FIG. 17 is won, the point lottery means 260 determines the number of subtracted points by lottery according to the lottery result of the role lottery means 210.
Specifically, in the normal state, a lottery using the subtraction point lottery table B shown in FIG. 20 is performed. For example, the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “left correct bell”, “middle correct bell”, “ In the case of winning the “right correct bell”, the points “1” and “3” are selected with a probability of “8/128”, and the points “5” are selected with a probability of “112/128”.

Similarly, in the case of “normal replay”, the number of points “1” and “5” are selected with a probability of “48/128”, and the number of points “5” is selected with a probability of “32/128”. ing.
In addition, when a lottery for the number of subtraction points is won, the points are subtracted from the number of points stored by the point storage means 270. Then, when the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 becomes “0”, AT ends.

In addition, when neither the addition point lottery nor the subtraction point lottery is drawn, the addition point lottery table is used to draw the addition point (addition lottery) and the subtraction point lottery table is used to draw the subtraction point. The number of points stored in the point storage means 270 does not change, as in the case where both the (subtraction lottery) and winning are not won.
As a result, even if the number of games is digested and AT profits are obtained, if neither addition points nor subtraction points are drawn, the AT game area is not shortened and profits are obtained again. Can be expected.

(Description of image display example using FIG. 21)
An example of image display during ART will be described with reference to FIG.
The point display control means 331 displays a vertical bar-like first point display means 84a and a circular second point display means 84b on the left side of the liquid crystal display 84, and a stop switch 50 on the lower side. Numbers (1, 2, 3) indicating the pressing order are displayed, and the number of ART medals obtained is displayed on the upper right.

  Further, as described above, the first point display means 84a is a point between the minimum value and the maximum value of the initial value points shown in FIG. 18, in the present embodiment, a point between “50” and “300”. The number of points “100”, which is a number, can be displayed. Further, the second point display means 84b is the display range of the first point display means 84a for the number of points exceeding “100” which is the number of points that can be displayed by the first point display means 84a. The point number “100” is displayed in units. That is, in the case of the number of points “250”, the number of points “50” is displayed by the first point display means 84a, and for the remaining number of points “200”, two second point display means 84b (circle) are displayed. 2 images) are displayed.

  In the example of the image display shown in FIG. 21, since one second point display means 84b is lit, the number of points “50” is displayed in addition to the number of points “50” displayed on the first point display means 84a. 100 ", that is, the total number of points is" 150 ".

  When the number of points displayed on the first point display means is “0”, “100P” of the number of points displayed on the second point display means is displayed on the first point display means. It will be displayed. Specifically, the second point display means is turned off, and the display of the first point display means is lit up to “100P”.

(Description of point lottery process using FIG. 22)
The point lottery process will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 22A, when “Game 1” and the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “Bell role”, the “addition lottery” by the point lottery means 260 is lost, “subtraction lottery” In the case where “Subtract P (point) lottery” is “5P”, the initial value “50P” is changed to “−5” by the point storage means 270, and the remaining number of points becomes “45P”.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22B, when the number of points is counted by the point storage means 270 before the start of the next “game 2”, the first point display means 84a is updated, and the bar-shaped first The display area of one point display means 84a is lowered by “5P”.

Also, in the case of “Game 7”, when the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is a “watermelon role” win, the “addition lottery” by the point lottery means 260 is lost and the “subtraction lottery” is lost. The number of points stored by the point storage means 270 does not change.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22B, the display of the number of points by the first point display means 84a before the start of the next “game 8” is also maintained as “61P”.

Also, in the case of “Game 8”, when the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is a winning “watermelon role”, “addition lottery” by the point lottery means 260 is won and “addition P (point) lottery” Is “50P”, “+50” is added to the number of points “61P” up to “Game 7” by the point storage means 270, and the remaining number of points becomes “111P”.
Then, as shown in FIG. 22B, when the number of points is counted by the point storage means 270 before the start of the next “game 9” (not shown), one second point display means 84b is displayed. Then, the display of the number of points for “100P” and the first point display means 84a are updated to display the number of points for “11P”.

(Description of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 23)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 23, a general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described.

  In step S10, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a specified number of bets (three).

In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the role lottery is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.
In the AT state and the ART state, the point lottery means 260 performs the point lottery based on the result of the role lottery process.

  In step S12, rotation variation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 62 being rotated is operated by the main control board 200, the reel control means 220 causes the rotation of each rotation reel 62. The rotation is stopped. The push order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed on the main control board 200, It is read in the subsequent processing.

In addition, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 290 of the main control board 200 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control board 300. When the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub-control board 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 230. Note that if the result of the determination is that payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Description of the lottery process for points using FIGS. 24 and 25)
Each process of the addition lottery shown in FIG. 16, the subtraction lottery shown in FIG. 17, the addition point lottery shown in FIG. 19, and the subtraction point lottery shown in FIG. 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In step S20, it is determined whether or not the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 is “1 or more”. If it is determined that the number of points is “1 or more”, the process proceeds to the next step S21.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S20 that the number of points is “1 or more”, the process proceeds to step S31 described later with reference to FIG.
In step S21, it is determined whether or not the “additional gaming state” shown in FIG. Here, if it is determined that it is not in the “additional gaming state”, the process proceeds to the next step S22.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the game is in the “additional gaming state”, the process proceeds to step S24 described later.

In step S22, an addition lottery using the first addition point lottery table A shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S23.
In step S23, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S22 has been won. If it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to the next step S24.
In step S24, an addition point lottery using the first addition point lottery table B shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S25.
In step S25, the number of points corresponding to the addition points drawn in step S24 is counted. That is, when the addition point lottery is won, points for the addition points determined by the lottery are added, and when the addition point lottery is not won, the points do not change. Further, the number of points determined in the addition point lottery (step S24) and the subtraction point lottery (step S30), which will be described later, and the counted number of points (step S25) are subtracted from the main control board 200 during the so-called third stop operation. It is transmitted to the control board 300. In addition, it is not limited to the case where it transmits at the time of 3rd stop operation, You may make it transmit at the time of lottery of the number of points (when start switch 40 is operated). Then, the process ends.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S23 that the lottery in step S22 has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S26.
In step S26, it is determined whether or not the “high probability state” shown in FIG.
If it is not determined that the state is “high probability state”, the process proceeds to the next step S27.
In step S27, a subtraction lottery using the second subtraction point lottery table A shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S29.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step 26 that the state is the “high probability state”, the process proceeds to the next step S28.
In step S28, a subtraction lottery using the first subtraction point lottery table A shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S29.

In step S29, it is determined whether or not the lottery in steps S27 and S28 has been won. If it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to the next step S30.
On the other hand, if it is not determined that the winning is made, the process proceeds to step S25 described above.
In step S30, a subtraction lottery using the subtraction point lottery table B shown in FIG. 20 is performed.
That is, whether the subtraction lottery (step S27) performed using the second subtraction point lottery table A or the subtraction lottery (step S28) performed using the first subtraction point lottery table A, the subtraction lottery When winning, the subtraction point lottery using the common subtraction point lottery table B is executed regardless of the normal state or the high probability state to determine the number of points to be subtracted. Then, the process proceeds to step S25 described above.

In step S31, an addition lottery using the second addition point lottery table A shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S32.
In step S32, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S30 has been won. If it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to the next step S33.
On the other hand, if it is not determined that the winning is made, the process proceeds to step S25 described above with reference to FIG.
In step S33, an addition point lottery using the second addition point lottery table B shown in FIG. 19B is performed. And it progresses to step S25 mentioned above using FIG.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the first embodiment described above, the number of points of one type is drawn, the number of points is stored, and the AT is terminated when the number of points reaches a predetermined value. In this form, a plurality of types of point numbers are drawn, and the number of points is counted and stored for each type, and when the number of points for each type of points is a combination of predetermined values, the AT is terminated. I am doing so.
Hereinafter, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment will be described with a focus on differences from the first embodiment.

(Point lottery means 260)
The point lottery means 260 draws a plurality of types of points in accordance with the lottery result of the role lottery means 210.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the number of points of “pine points”, “bamboo points”, and “plum points” is drawn by lottery.
A specific example of the point lottery will be described later with reference to FIGS.

Further, the point lottery means 260 is not limited to the case where the number of points is drawn in accordance with the lottery result of the role lottery means 210, and so-called duplication in which the winning combination differs depending on the game result, for example, the pressing order of the stop switch 50. When winning the winning combination, etc., the number of points may be drawn according to the pressing order of the stop switch 50.
More specifically, in the case of so-called forward pressing, the number of points to add / subtract “pine points”, in the case of middle pressing, the number of points to add / subtract “bamboo points”, in the case of reverse pressing, The number of points to add / subtract “plum points” may be drawn.

(Point storage means 270)
The point storage means 270 stores the number of points determined by the point lottery means 260 for each type of points.

(AT control means 280)
The AT control unit 280 has a predetermined combination of the number of points for each type of point stored in the point storage unit 270. In this embodiment, a numerical value determined for each type of point, for example, “pine point” is The AT is set to end when “1”, “bamboo point” is “2”, and “plum point” is “3”.
In this case, when the “pine point” is “1” and the “bamboo point” is “2”, the “plum point” has changed from “7” to “3” to “2”. In such a case, the AT is not terminated because the predetermined combination is not achieved.

  The predetermined combination is not limited to the case where the numerical value is different for each type of point described above, and may be the same numerical value when all of the points are “0”, or a plurality of predetermined combinations may be provided. The AT may be terminated when the combinations match.

(Display device 84)
As will be described later with reference to FIG. 28, the display device 84 includes point display means (84c, 84d, 84e) capable of displaying the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 for each type.
The point display means includes a pine point display means 84c capable of displaying pine points, a bamboo point display means 84d capable of displaying bamboo points, and a plum point display means 84d capable of displaying ume points. The line PL is displayed at a predetermined value that is set to end AT which is an example.

Also, the point display means (84c, 84d, 84e) is configured to update and display the displayed point number when the point number is counted by the point storage means 270.
That is, the point storage means 270 is set to count the points until the start of the next game after the game in which the points are selected. The number of points is set so that the player can understand.

(Description of the lottery of points using FIGS. 26 and 20)
The point number lottery will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27.
First, the initial value point lottery is performed by the point lottery means 260 shown in FIG.
Here, the initial value point lottery is not performed for each point type, but for all point types, the same initial value point lottery is performed. The “pine point” may be determined by lottery, such as “50”, “bamboo point” “100”, “plum point” “150”, and the like.
Next, addition lottery and subtraction lottery shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 are performed.

When the addition lottery shown in FIG. 16 is won, as shown in FIG. 26, the point lottery means 260 selects a plurality of types of points by lottery as addition points according to the lottery result of the role lottery means 210. I try to decide.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, when the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “special replay” winning, the number of points determined in advance for “pine points”, “bamboo points”, and “plum points” respectively. The assigned patterns 1 to 4 are determined by lottery. For example, when the pattern 1 is determined, the point storage means 270 counts 20 points for “pine points”, 20 points for “bamboo points”, and 10 points for “plum points”.

Here, the lottery probability of each pattern is set uniformly, but it may not be uniform depending on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 210.
That is, for example, in the case of “special replay” winning, pattern 1 is drawn with a probability of 40%, pattern 2 is 30%, pattern 3 is 20%, and pattern 4 is 10%. It may be set so that 1 is 20%, pattern 2 is 40%, pattern 3 is 30%, and pattern 4 is drawn with a probability of 10%.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to lottery of patterns, and addition points may be determined based on lottery values assigned for each type of points. Specifically, in the case of “special replay” winning, “pine point” is 5 points with a probability of “10/128”, 10 points with a probability of “50/128”, and 20 points with a probability of “68/128” If “Cherry” is selected, “Pine Points” is 5 points with a probability of “30/128”, 10 points with a probability of “40/128”, and 20 points with a probability of “58/128”. You may be made to do.

If the addition lottery is not won and the subtraction lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 27, a plurality of types of points are determined by lottery as subtraction points.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, when the lottery result of the role lottery means 210 is “normal replay” winning, the number of points respectively determined in advance for “pine point”, “bamboo point display”, and “plum point” The patterns 1 to 4 to which are assigned are determined by lottery. For example, when pattern 1 is determined, the point storage means 270 counts 5 points for “pine point”, 5 points for “bamboo point”, and 0 point for “plum point”.

Here, the lottery probability of each pattern is set uniformly, but it may not be uniform depending on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 210.
That is, for example, in the case of “special replay” winning, pattern 1 is drawn with a probability of 40%, pattern 2 is 30%, pattern 3 is 20%, and pattern 4 is 10%. It may be set so that 1 is 20%, pattern 2 is 40%, pattern 3 is 30%, and pattern 4 is drawn with a probability of 10%.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to lottery of patterns, and addition points may be determined based on lottery values assigned for each type of points. Specifically, “Pine Points” is drawn with 3 points with a probability of “10/128”, 5 points with a probability of “50/128”, and 10 points with a probability of “68/128”. In this case, “pine points” may be drawn with 3 points with a probability of “30/128”, 5 points with a probability of “40/128”, and 10 points with a probability of “58/128”.

(Description of image display example using FIG. 28)
An example of image display during ART will be described with reference to FIG.
By means of the point display control means 331, on the left side of the liquid crystal display 84, vertical point display means for each type of point, point display means 84c for pine points, point display means 84b for bamboo points, points for plum points Display means 84e is displayed.

  In addition, for each point display means 84c, 84d, 84e, a line PL is drawn on the part of the number of points corresponding to a predetermined combination at which the AT is terminated to notify the player of the number of points at which the AT is terminated. Yes.

The second embodiment includes at least the following configuration.
A role lottery means 210 that includes a first game, a predetermined game section, and a second game that is more advantageous to the player than the first game, and performs a lottery of winning or losing one of a plurality of roles; In accordance with the lottery result or game result of the combination lottery means 210, a point lottery means 260 for lottering a plurality of types of points, and the number of points determined by the point lottery means 260 are stored for each type of the points The point storage means 270 and the second game are set to end when the number of points for each type of points stored by the point storage means 270 is a predetermined combination.
According to such a configuration, an advantageous game can be continued until the number of points becomes a predetermined combination, and the advantageous game is extended or shortened by adding or subtracting the number of points, and until the advantageous game ends, the advantageous game is continued. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the interest of a game with a sense of expectation for continuation.

  The number of points of the plurality of types includes a first point (pine point), a second point (bamboo point), and a third point (plum point), and the point lottery means 260 is a role lottery means. The number of points of the first point, the second point, and the third point is drawn according to the lottery result or the game result.

  When the number of points for each type of points stored by the point storage means 270 is a predetermined combination, the first point (pine point), the second point, and the third point However, the numerical value determined for each type of point includes the first point, the second point, and the third point. The same number.

  When the number of points for each type of points stored by the point storage means 270 is a predetermined combination, the first point (pine point), the second point, and the third point However, the numerical value determined for each type of point includes the first point, the second point, and the third point. It is a different number.

  The number of points drawn by the point lottery means 260 includes an addition point to be added to the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 and a subtraction point to be subtracted.

  An addition point lottery table in which the addition points are determined for each type of points, and a subtraction point lottery table in which the subtraction points are determined; the point lottery means 260 includes the addition point lottery table and the subtraction point lottery table The number of points is drawn using one of the lottery tables.

The point lottery means 260 performs a lottery using the other lottery table when the lottery table using either one of the addition point lottery table and the subtraction point lottery table is not won. I have to.
According to such a configuration, when one lottery is not won, the other lottery is performed, that is, when one lottery is won, the other lottery is not performed, so that the result of one lottery is canceled. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can prevent the other lottery from being performed.

The point lottery means 260 is determined in advance according to the lottery result of the combination lottery means 210, whether to use the addition point lottery table or the subtraction point table.
According to such a configuration, for example, in the case of a rare role with a low probability of winning, it is determined in advance that an addition point lottery table for extending the game section is used, so that a rare role with a low probability of winning can be selected. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can prevent joy from being spoiled by shortening the second game by using the subtraction point lottery table.

When neither the addition point nor the subtraction point is drawn by the point lottery means 260, the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 is set so as not to fluctuate.
According to this configuration, even if the number of games is digested and the profit of the second game is obtained, if neither the addition point nor the subtraction point is drawn, the game section of the second game is shortened. Thus, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can be expected to gain profits again.

When neither the addition point nor the subtraction point is drawn by the point lottery means 260, the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 varies depending on a predetermined subtraction point or a predetermined addition point. It is set to be.
Specifically, “1” is set as the predetermined subtraction point, and even if neither the addition point nor the subtraction point is drawn, the number of points stored by the point storage means 270 “1” may be subtracted.

The second game includes an added gaming state with a high probability of extending the predetermined game section, and a high probability state with a high probability of shifting to the added gaming state, and the subtraction point lottery table includes a first 1 subtraction point lottery table and a second subtraction point lottery table from which the subtraction point is more likely to be drawn than the first subtraction point lottery table. The second game is stored in the point storage means 270. In the case of the high probability state, the first subtracting point lottery table is used.
According to this configuration, in the case of the “high probability state”, it is difficult to draw the subtraction points, the “high probability state” can be easily maintained, and the possibility of shifting to the “additional gaming state” is increased. Can be provided.

The second game is set to end when the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 is subtracted to the predetermined combination, and the point lottery means 260 is determined by the point lottery means. If the number of points stored in the point storage means 270 is the predetermined combination as a result of the lottery of the number of points, the addition points are drawn using the addition point lottery table.
According to such a configuration, even if the number of points reaches a predetermined value, a gaming machine capable of giving a chance to pull back without ending the second game by lottering additional points can do.

In the present invention, the processing related to the counting of the number of points can be kept in the internal processing of the gaming machine and not notified to the outside of the gaming machine. In this case, in order to acquire addition points and subtraction points according to the result of the role lottery or the game result, it becomes possible for the player to estimate the number of points acquired (game section) through the game result such as the stop symbol. Even if there is no display of the remaining points within a predetermined game section, it is possible to estimate the remaining points and enjoy the change of the game section such as extension or shortening.
In addition, through a predetermined notification device (for example, image display by a display device or sound output by a speaker), information indicating the current remaining number of points (numerical value or scale of point meter) is notified to the player, addition points or subtraction points. May be notified to the player when the game section is changed (for example, “+10 points acquired!” “−5 points acquired” “extended!” “Shortened!”). . In this case, by notifying each time the number of points is acquired, the player can be satisfied with the change in the number of points (game section) and can enjoy the game even during a predetermined game period.

The present invention further comprises an addition point lottery table used for lottery of the addition points and a subtraction point lottery table used for lottery of the subtraction points, and the point lottery means (260) includes the addition point lottery table and the subtraction A lottery of points is performed using either one of the lottery tables or the point lottery table, and the point storage means (270) has the number of points determined by the point lottery means (260). The second game is counted until the start of the next game, and the second game ends when the number of points stored by the point storage means (270) is subtracted to the predetermined value. It is characterized by being set to.
