Thus, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, JAC1 includes correct small roles 1 to 7 and special small roles, and JAC2 does not include correct small roles 1 to 7 and special small roles. .

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, replay 1, replay 2, and replay 3 are prepared as replays, and a normal replay and a chance replay are set as winning modes of replay in which one type of replay is won independently. In addition, special replay, batting order replay A, and batting order replay B are set as winning modes of replay in which multiple types of replays are won in duplicate.

  The winning aspect of the replay will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6. In the normal replay, the replay 2 is won by itself, the chance replay is won by the replay 1 alone, and the special replay is the replay 1 and the replay. 2 is won in duplicate, batting order replay A is won in duplicate with replay 2 and replay 3, and batting order replay B is won in duplicate with replay 1, replay 2 and replay 3 It is shown that.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B have the same winning probability and winning mode for the small role, and the internal lottery table B can be replayed with higher probability than the internal lottery table A. In the internal lottery table C, the small role is won in a manner different from the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B, and any replay is excluded from the lottery target. In the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B, the correct answer small roles 1 to 7 are won by the eight-batting order small role and the three-sheet striking order small role without overlapping each other. In the internal lottery table C, JAC1 The correct small roles 1 to 7 are won in duplicate.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus, and in the internal lottery table A, the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery object, but the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery In Table C, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C are selected according to the gaming state. Either one is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M for the acquired random value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the main memory 190M.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a big bonus (BB), and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, when a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations including a small role won in the internal lottery and a replay lottery flag.

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

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

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. It is like that. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. It is determined in the range of ~ 3 frames (predetermined pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed on the effective line when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 3 frames with respect to the display position on the active line at the time when the pressing operation for Control is performed so as to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button for which the pressing operation has been performed, so that the reel is displayed at the upper display position.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol “RP”, and the plum symbol “ “PM”, bell symbol “BL”, watermelon symbol “WM”, cherry symbol “CH”, dummy symbol 1 “DUM1”, and dummy symbol 2 “DUM2” are arranged and the stop switch 240 is activated (stop button). When a symbol existing within 3 frames from the pressed detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the pressing of is detected), is drawn on the effective line, it is arranged at intervals of 3 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. The displayed symbol can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  Further, the reel control unit 130 rotates with reference to a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the main memory 190M and a process of calculating a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). Processing for determining the stop position of the inner reel (table reference processing) is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation process, a range of 0 to 3 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for four frames existing in the frame. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

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

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidate when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. There are cases where the priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the stop position candidates are determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. The priority for each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line is higher, and the medal When the priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of payouts, the number of medals paid out based on the small part payout corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line increases. Position so as priority (stop position capable of winning a small prize payout is large) is high determine the priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the eight-batted order small winning combination and the three-sheet hitting-order small winning combination is won, a logic operation corresponding to the pressing order (stop operation order) of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, eight-batting order small roles LC1-LC4, LR1-LR4, CL1-CL4, CR1-CR4, RL1-RL4, RC1-RC4, and three-sheet-batting order small roles L1-L4, C1-C4, R1- A correct answer order is set for each of R4, and a pressing order different from the correct answer order is treated as an incorrect answer order. Then, when either of the eight-batting order small combination or the three-batting order small combination is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a logic operation for obtaining a priority according to the number of medals paid out is performed. The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the number of medals to be paid out is the highest. In addition, if either of the eight-batting order or three-batting order small is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line The priority is calculated so that the priority of the stop position candidate having the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is the highest.

  In the present embodiment, when either of the eight-batted-order small prizes or the three-sheet-batted-order small prize is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer-ordering order, The priority of the stop position candidate that can win the correct answer 1, correct answer 2, correct answer 3, correct answer 4, correct answer 5, correct answer 6, or correct answer 7 When the logic operation is performed so that the degree becomes the highest, and stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the stop that can win the incorrect answer small combination A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4 The logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

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

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

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

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

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the eight-batted order small portions LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, and RC1 to RC4 is won in the internal lottery, FIG. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 9, the correct answer hit order is set for each of the eight strike order small roles, and a pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, when any of the eight-batted order small roles LC1, LC2, LR1, and LR2 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order, the correct answer small role 1 is won. When the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set, and any one of the eight-sheet-batting order small roles LC3, LC4, LR3, LR4, RL3, RL4, RC3, and RC4 is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are displayed in the correct hit order. When pressed, the stop position relative to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer winning combination 4 wins, and when any of the 8 strike order winning combinations CL1, CL2, CR1, CR2 is won, When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer small combination 2 wins, and the eight-stroke order small combination CL3, CL4, CR3 If any of R4 wins and the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct hit order, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the correct answer small part 5 wins, and the eight-sheet hit order small part When any of RL1, RL2, RC1, and RC2 is won, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the correct answer combination 3 wins when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order. .

  In addition, when any of the eight-batting order small roles is elected, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answering order, the two types that are selected are the winning order 1 and the batting order 2 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where any one of the special small roles A wins a prize and a case where none of the special small roles A is won (missing), In the batting order 3 or batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is first pressed, either one of the two types of special small roles B won or a case where neither of them wins ( The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a missed), and in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 in which the stop button B3 is first depressed, any one of the two types of selected special small roles C is selected. And if the special Small Win C classes are winning, the stop position for any winning combination may not won (missed) pressed and so is present detection position is set.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when any of the three-batting order small roles L1-L4, C1-C4, R1-R4 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. The correct answer hit order is set, and the pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In the present embodiment, when any of the three-sheet striking order small combinations L1, L2, C1, C2, R1, R2 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct striking order, When the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so as to win a prize, and any of the three-batt order small roles L3, L4, C3, C4, R3, R4 is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are displayed in the correct hit order. When pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer small part 7 wins.

  In addition, when any of the three-batting order small roles is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the two types of winning wins in the hitting order 1 and the hitting order 2 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where any one type of incorrect answering role A wins and a case where none of the special winning roles A is won (missing). In the batting order 3 or batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is first pressed, either one of the two types of special small roles B won or one of the incorrect answering small portions B wins, and neither of them wins. The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that there is a case (missing), and in the hitting order 5 and hitting order 6 in which the stop button B3 is first pressed, any of the two types of special small roles C won One and if incorrect Small Win C is winning, the stop position with respect to the depression detection position so if any of the winning combination may not win the (missed) exists is set.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when either of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations or the three-sheet-batted-order small winning combination is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct-pitched hitting order, the correct answer small winning combination is won. When the rotating reels are stopped and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the rotating reels are stopped so that the correct small combination is not won.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when a special small combination is won in the internal lottery, the stop position relative to the press detection position is such that the special small combination wins regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table that is set and is referenced when a chance combination is won in the internal lottery, the stop position relative to the press detection position so that there are cases where the chance combination wins and cases where none of the combination wins Is set.

  In addition, in the stop control table that is referred to when JAC1 is won in the internal lottery, one of the correct small combinations 1 to 5 is won regardless of the order and timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table that is referred to when the JAC2 is won in the internal lottery, the stop position relative to the press detection position is set to be incorrect regardless of the press order and the press timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that any one of the combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, special combination, and chance combination wins.

  In the stop control table that is referred to when the normal replay or special replay is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 11A, the replay 2 is displayed regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table that is referred to when the chance replay is won in the internal lottery, the replay is performed regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that 1 wins.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 11A, a special batting order is set for each batting order replay. A pressing order different from the hitting order is treated as a non-special hitting order. In this embodiment, when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the special batting order, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that the replay 3 wins. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the non-special order, the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the replay 2 wins. In the present embodiment, when the replay 3 wins, as shown in FIG. 11B, the BAR symbols “BAR” are arranged on the invalid lines formed in the middle stages of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. BAR aligned stop mode displayed, and as shown in FIG. 11C, “BL / BAR / BAR” is displayed on the invalid line formed in the middle of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. If the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the special batting order when the batting order replay A is won, the winning of the replay 3 in the bar batting stop mode will be given priority. If the stop position is set and the replay B is hit in the batting order, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the special batting order, the winning of the replay 3 in the BAR-equipped stop mode has priority. Stop position so that is set. As described above, in this embodiment, when the striking order replay A is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the special striking order, the spinning reels are stopped so that the replay 3 wins, and the non-special striking order is achieved. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the spinning reel is stopped so that the replay 2 wins, and when the replay 3 wins in the special batting order, the BAR loss stop mode can be displayed. Stop the reel. Also, when batting order replay B is won, if stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a special batting order, the spinning reel is stopped so that replay 3 wins, and stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-special batting order. Then, the rotating reel is stopped so that the replay 2 wins, and when the replay 3 wins in the special batting order, the rotating reel is stopped so that the BAR aligned stop mode can be displayed.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the main memory 190M, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, a big bonus (BB), replays 1 to 3, correct answers 1 to 7, incorrect answers A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not the small combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, special small combinations, and chance combinations have been won.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus is awarded. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to transition the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are determined by the hopper unit 320 (payout). The device is controlled to pay out. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a small combination wins, if the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, the game information display unit is based on the determined number of payments. The number of medals paid out is displayed on the payout display section PO of the DS.

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

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in the credit storage area of the main memory 190M (credited medals) The credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the number of payouts is performed to virtually pay out medals. When the credit addition process is performed, the display of the number of credits on the credit display unit CD of the game information display unit DS is changed based on the number of credits stored in the credit storage area.

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

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state, and the bonus establishment as shown in FIG. 18B. In the state, a gaming state transition control process is performed for shifting the gaming state between the non-assist time state (non-AT state) and the assist time state (AT state). As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state, and the transition from the normal state to the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. Further, in the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery object among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery object among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3 is performed. In the internal lottery table B that is referred to in the bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. 3, a small role or a replay is always won without causing an improper (losing) in the internal lottery.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C among the internal lottery tables A to C shown in FIG.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when a predetermined number of medals (for example, 100) are paid out, The state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, the end condition of the bonus state is determined by the total number of medals paid out, but the end condition may be determined by the number of games in the bonus state and the number of winnings of the small role. Further, the bonus state may be one in which an end condition is set so as to end in one game.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the state where the bonus is established, when both the big bonus (BB) and the small role are won, the winning of the small role is given priority over the symbols constituting the big bonus (BB) winning pattern. The symbols constituting the form are displayed on the active line, and when the big bonus (BB) and the replay are both won, the spinning reel is stopped so that the replay wins in preference to the big bonus (BB). Thus, the big bonus (BB) winning is avoided regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, a plurality of types of first winning modes (eight-batting order) in which a plurality of types of correct answering roles (correct answering roles 1 to 5) are won without overlapping each other. Internal lottery is performed so that small roles LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, RC1 to RC4) exist, and in the bonus state, multiple types of correct answer small roles (correct answer small roles) 1) to 5) are duplicated and there is a second winning mode (JAC1), and the probability of becoming the second winning mode in the internal lottery in the bonus state is the number of types in the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus established state. It is lower than the probability of being one of the winning modes, and the winning probabilities of each of the multiple types of correct answer small roles (correct answer small roles 1 to 5) are higher than those in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. It is doing a part lottery. In other words, in the bonus state of the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of each of the correct small roles 1 to 5 having a higher payout than the specified number of insertions (3) are higher than the normal state or the bonus establishment state, and the winning probability of the entire small role Is higher than the normal state and the bonus establishment state, but the probability that the second winning mode (JAC1) including any of the correct answer small combinations 1 to 5 having a higher dividend than the prescribed number of inputs will be obtained is the normal state or the bonus establishment In the state, the first winning mode including any one of the correct small combinations 1 to 5 (eight-batted order small combinations LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, RC1 to RC4) is obtained. Since it is lower than the probability, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate (number of payouts / number of inputs) in the bonus state can be made less than 100%.

  The non-AT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among the non-AT state and the AT state, and a transition from the non-AT state to the AT state is possible. Specifically, when the AT lottery is won in the bonus establishment state, the state shifts to the AT state.

  The AT state is a gaming state that shifts when an AT lottery is won. In the AT state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 of the main memory 190M, and when the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), The gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the AT state and return to the non-AT state.

  The AT control means 180 performs control related to the AT state. In a game in the AT state (assist time game), the player is instructed about the game method (for example, the order of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3), and the player simply plays the game according to the instruction. A predetermined profit can be easily obtained.

  Specifically, the AT control means 180 performs the AT lottery when the chance combination, chance replay, or batting order replay B is won in the internal lottery in the non-AT state. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 195 of the main memory 190M. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the AT lottery is selected in the AT lottery table. If it is associated, it is determined that the AT lottery is won. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the AT lottery, and the winning probability increases in the order of “chance replay <chance role <batting order replay B”. As such, when the batting order replay B is won, an AT lottery is performed so that it is always won. When the AT lottery is won, the gaming state shifts from the non-AT state to the AT state.

  Then, the AT control means 180 performs a process of setting a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 based on the winning of the AT lottery. In the present embodiment, the value set in the AT end determination counter 196 is set to “50” as a value corresponding to 50 games, for example. The value set in the AT end determination counter 196 is not limited to the above example, and can be set arbitrarily.

  Then, the AT control means 180 starts updating the AT end determination counter 196 from the next game of the game won in the AT lottery. Specifically, every time a game in the AT state is performed, a decrement update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game is subtracted from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the AT state end condition is satisfied, the AT state ends, and the gaming state returns from the AT state to the non-AT state.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update regarding the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 is interrupted while maintaining the AT state, and the gaming state is ended after the bonus state ends. In response to the transition to the bonus establishment state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 196 is resumed, and an undigested game is performed. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 196 may be continued regardless of the change in the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state, or the AT state. In the case where the big bonus (BB) is won at, even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 does not reach the threshold value, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 is reset to the initial value (for example, 0). The AT state may be terminated.

  In addition, the AT control means 180 performs a lottery by adding the chance combination or the chance replay is won in the internal lottery in the AT state. In the extra lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 195, according to the comparison result. And determine whether or not the lottery is won. In the extra lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either normal winning, special winning, or losing, and the random number obtained in the extra lottery is extra lottery. When the table is associated with the normal winning or the special winning, it is determined that the extra lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the extra lottery differs according to the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the extra lottery, and the extra lottery so that the winning probability increases in the order of “chance replay <chance role”. Is done.

  Then, the AT control unit 180 performs an addition process of adding a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 based on the winning of the addition lottery. In the present embodiment, the value to be added differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that was the execution opportunity of the extra lottery and the winning type of the extra lottery, and when the execution chance of the extra lottery is a chance replay, When the result of the extra lottery is a normal winning, for example, “20” is added as a value corresponding to 20 games, and when the result of the extra lottery is a special winning, for example, 30 times In the case where “30” is added as a value corresponding to the game of the game, and when the execution chance of the additional lottery is a chance role, and the result of the extra lottery is a normal win, for example, it corresponds to 30 games When “30” is added as the value to be added and the result of the extra lottery is a special win, for example, “50” is added as a value corresponding to 50 games. The value added to the AT end determination counter 196 is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily.

  Further, the AT control means 180 performs control to display instruction information which is information indicating the instruction content of the gaming method when any of the eight-batting order small combination is won in the AT state. In particular, in the present embodiment, when winning eight-batting order small role or three-batting-order small role is elected, information indicating the correct batting order corresponding to the type of eight-batting-order small role or three-batting-order small role is first displayed. It is displayed on the payout display section PO (first effect device) as the device 410. As a result, the AT control means 180 instructs the player in the order of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 (game method) to be operated in the AT state.

  Further, the AT control means 180 performs control to display the instruction information on the payout display section PO even when the special replay is won in the AT state, thereby instructing the game method to the player in the AT state. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the instruction information includes “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”. , And “10” are set in advance, and the instruction content indicated by each number is as shown in FIG. For example, for “1”, it is preset that the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed as the instruction content in the hit order 1, and for “7”, the stop button B1 is initially pressed as the instruction content. It is preset that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed by (batting order 1, 2: pressing the stop button B1 first). For “10”, the instruction content is selected from a plurality of types of pressing orders. It is preset that a specific batting order is applied.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT state, when any one of the eight-batt order small roles LC1 to LC4 in which the batting order 1 is set as the correct batting order as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 20A, “1” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information. Similarly, in the AT state, the AT control means 180 displays “2” as the instruction information in the payout display section when any of the eight-batt order small roles LR1 to LR4 for which the batting order 2 is set as the correct batting order in the AT state is won. If any of the eight-batting order small roles CL1 to CL4 for which the batting order 3 is set as the correct batting order is won, “3” is displayed on the payout display section PO as the instruction information, and the correct batting order is displayed. If any of the eight-batting order small roles CR1 to CR4 for which the batting order 4 is set is won, “4” is displayed on the payout display portion PO as the instruction information, and the batting order 5 is set as the correct batting order. If any of the eight-batting order small roles RL1 to RL4 is won, “5” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information, and the batting order 6 is set as the correct batting order. When any one of the sheet hitting order small roles RC1 to RC4 wins, “6” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information, and the stop button B1 is first pressed as the correct answer order (batting order 1, 2). In the case where any of the three-batting order small roles L1 to L4 for which is set is selected, “7” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information, and the stop button B2 is first pressed as the correct hitting order. When any of the three-batting order small roles C1 to C4 for which (batting order 3, 4) is set, “8” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information, and the stop button B3 is displayed as the correct answering order. If any of the three-batting order small roles R1 to R4 for which the order of first pressing (batting order 5, 6) is set wins, “9” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information. Make. In the non-AT state, the AT control means 180 does not display the instruction information regardless of which of the eight-batted-order small winning combination and the three-sheet-batted-order small winning combination.

  In addition, when the special replay is won in the AT state, the AT control unit 180 displays “10” on the payout display unit PO as instruction information. In the non-AT state, the AT control unit 180 does not display the instruction information even if the special replay is won.

  In addition, when the special replay is won in the AT state, the AT control unit 180 performs a specific batting order lottery that determines a specific batting order (a specific operation order) from six types of pressing orders of the batting order 1 to the batting order 6. In the specific batting order lottery, a random number value is acquired, the acquired random number value is compared with a specific batting order lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 195, and a specific batting order is determined according to the comparison result. In the specific batting order lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is associated with any one of the pressing orders 1 to 6 in the batting order 1 to batting order. One type (one way) of pressing order associated with the random value acquired in the specific batting order lottery is determined as the specific batting order. In the present embodiment, the specific batting order lottery is performed so that each of the batting order 1 to batting order 6 has the same probability of being determined (selected) as the specific batting order.

  When the specific batting order is determined by the specific batting order lottery, the AT control unit 180 writes information indicating the pressing order determined as the specific batting order from the batting order 1 to 6 in the specific batting order storage area (not shown) of the main memory 190M. Set a specific batting order.

  Here, in this embodiment, since the specific batting order is determined from batting order 1 to batting order 6, the first (N-2) stop operation is performed among the 3rd (Nth) stop operations. Even when the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, it is not determined that the specific batting order is established, and 2 when the second (N-1) th stop operation is performed. When the first stop operation is performed along the specific hit order, the pressing order (stop operation order) determines that the specific hit order is confirmed.

  Then, the AT control means 180 (privilege grant means) determines the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 based on the fact that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the specific batting order when the special replay is won in the AT state. An addition process for adding a given value is performed (a privilege is given). In the present embodiment, the value set in the AT end determination counter 196 is set to “30” as a value corresponding to 30 games, for example. Note that the value added to the AT end determination counter 196 is not limited to the above example, and can be arbitrarily set. For example, one of a plurality of added values is added and selected by lottery. Also good.

  The communication control unit 185 performs control to output a signal to the sub-board 20. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  The communication control means 185 outputs any of the eight-batted order small winning combination notification signals to the sub-board 20 when any of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations is won in the internal lottery, so Is notified that the winning combination of 8 sheets is won, and the correct hitting order notification signal is output to the sub-board 20, thereby notifying the sub-board 20 of the correct hitting order corresponding to the type of the 8-batting order winning combination. When the last stop operation is performed in the game, an internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the result of the internal lottery. The communication control means 185 outputs a three-batting order small combination winning notification signal to the sub-board 20 when any of the three-batted-order small winning combinations is won in the internal lottery, so Notifying that the three-batting order small role has been won and outputting a correct-hit order notification signal to the sub-board 20, the sub-board 20 is notified of the correct-hit order according to the type of three-batting-order small role. When the last stop operation is performed in the game, the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the result of the internal lottery.

  Further, the communication control means 185 receives a special small role, chance role, JAC1, JAC2, normal replay, special replay, chance replay, batting order replay A, batting order replay B, or big bonus (BB) by internal lottery, or internal When the lottery result is lost (unauthorized), an internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the result of the internal lottery.

  In addition, when the winning determination unit 140 determines the winning combination, the communication control unit 185 outputs a winning combination notification signal to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the type of winning combination. Further, when the bet button B0 is pressed to insert a medal, a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, or a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3, the communication control unit 185 causes the sub-board 20 By outputting an operation notification signal to the player, operations performed by the player such as the bet button B0 being pressed on the sub-board 20, the start lever SL being pressed, and the type of the stop button being pressed To be notified. Further, the communication control means 185 notifies the sub-board 20 of the current gaming state by outputting a gaming state notification signal to the sub-board 20. Further, when the AT control means 180 performs the AT lottery, the communication control means 185 outputs an AT lottery result notification signal to the sub-board 20, thereby notifying the sub-board 20 of the AT lottery result, and the AT control means. When 180 performs the extra lottery, the extra lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the extra lottery result. In addition, when the AT control unit 180 updates the AT end determination counter 196 in the AT state, the communication control unit 185 outputs a counter notification signal to the sub-board 20 to thereby output the current AT end to the sub-board 20. The stored value of the determination counter 196 is notified. As described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the eight-batting order small combination winning notification signal, the three-sheet-batting small combination winning notification signal, the correct batting order notification signal, the internal lottery result notification signal, and the operation notification that are output from the main board 10. Based on the signal, gaming state notification signal, AT lottery result notification signal, extra lottery result notification signal, counter notification signal, etc., the second effect control means 200 of the sub-board 20 adds the result of the internal lottery, the result of the AT lottery, and the extra As a result of the lottery, the second display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform effects according to the type of winning combination, the operation performed by the player, and the current gaming state.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include an effect control means 200 and a sub memory 200S.

  The effect control unit 200 controls the display effect performed using the second display device 330 and the sound effect performed using the audio device 340 based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 201 of the sub memory 200S. I do. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked in response to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, operation of the bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, payout of a medal, change in gaming state, etc. By changing the display content of the display LCD or outputting a sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the production control means 200 is a game in which at least one of the eight-batted-order small winning combination and the three-batted-order small winning combination is won (e.g. When the correct batting order notification signal output from the main board 10 is input in the game in which the signal is input), the correct hit order notified from the main board 10 is notified based on the signal, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 Directing the correct order 1, correct answer 2, correct answer 3, correct answer 4, correct answer 5, correct answer 6, or correct answer 7 Control to cause the second display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the correct hitting order notification effect is performed. For example, when the correct batting order notification signal for notifying the batting order 1 as the correct batting order is input in the AT state, the effect control means 200 notifies the batting order 1 by the correct batting order notification effect as shown in FIG. To do. As described above, in this embodiment, the sub board 20 notifies the instruction content indicated by the instruction information displayed on the payout display unit PO by the main board 10 on the effect. When the correct batting order notification signal is input in the non-AT state, the effect control unit 200 ignores the signal and does not notify the correct batting order notified from the main board 10. In the AT state, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the correct hit order notified in the correct hit order notification effect, the correct answer small set 1 always wins when the eight-batted order small combination LC1, LC2, LR1, LR2 is won. The correct answer 4 is always awarded when winning the eight-batting order small part LC3, LC4, LR3, LR4, RL3, RL4, RC3, RC4, and the correct answer is always winning when the eight-batting order winning combination CL1, CL2, CR1, CR2 is selected. The small part 2 wins, the correct answer small part 5 always wins when the eight-batted order small part CL3, CL4, CR3, CR4 is won, and the correct answer small part always when the eight-batted order small part RL1, RL2, RC1, RC2 wins Since 3 can win and 8 medals can be obtained, the player can increase the number of medals on hand, and the three-batting order small role L1, L2, C1, C2, R1, The correct small part 6 always wins when winning 2, and the correct small part 7 always wins and wins 3 medals when winning the three batting order small L3, L4, C3, C4, R3, and R4. Since this is possible, it is possible to prevent the player from reducing the medals on hand.

  Further, when the batting order replay A or batting order replay B is won in the AT state, the effect control means 200 first presses the batting order 1 (B1 → B2 → B3), batting order 2 (B1 → B3 → B2), and the stop button B1. From among the three types of pressing order (B1 → ANY → ANY), the pressing order lottery that determines the pressing order to be notified (instructed) is performed. In the pressing order lottery, the random number value is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the pressing order lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 202 of the sub memory 200S, and the notification is notified according to the comparison result. Determine the order. In the pressing order lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with any one of the order of hitting order 1, hitting order 2, and stop button B1. In the order lottery table, the pressing order associated with the random value acquired in the pressing order lottery is determined as the pressing order to be notified. When the pressing order is determined, the effect control means 200 is an effect informing the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery and instructing the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, as shown in FIG. When the second display device 330 or the audio device 340 is controlled to execute a pressing order notification effect that assists winning, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the pressing order notified by the pressing order notification effect, the replay 2 is performed. In order to win a prize, it is possible not to display the BAR loss or the BAR aligned stop mode. In this way, the pressing order notification effect that is executed when the batting order replay A is won in the AT state informs the mode of the stop operation for avoiding the display of the BAR loss stop mode, and the batting order replay is performed in the AT state. The pressing order notification effect to be executed when B is won notifies the stop operation mode for avoiding the display of the stop mode with the BAR. In the pressing order lottery, the order in which the hitting order 3, the hitting order 4, and the stop button B2 are initially pressed may be determined as the pressing order to be notified.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, when the batting order replay B is won in the non-AT state, the effect control means 200 performs the stop operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 at the timing for displaying the special batting order and the BAR symbol “BAR”. Control for informing the second display device 330 and the sound device 340 to perform a special batting order notification effect that assists the winning of the replay 3 by informing that the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed and indicating the pressing timing. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the special batting order and the pressing timing notified in the special batting order notification effect, a stop mode of BAR alignment is displayed.

  The effect control means 200 also performs control to cause the second display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a special batting order notification effect even when the batting order replay A is won in the non-AT state. In this case, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the special batting order notified by the special batting order notification effect and the pressing timing, the BAR loss stop mode is displayed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, the sub-board 20 performs a pressing order notification effect or a special batting order notification effect that notifies the pressing order and instructs the stop operation. Even if it exists, the main board | substrate 10 is made not to display the instruction information which shows the instruction content of the game method. Thereby, according to this embodiment, the data amount of the program of the main board | substrate 10 can be suppressed now.

  In addition, when the special replay is won in the AT state (under specific conditions), the production control means 200 has a specific batting order (set), and among a plurality of types of pressing order (batting order 1 to batting order 6) The second display device 330 and the sound device 340 are controlled to execute a specific effect instructing (notifying or prompting) that a specific batting order is applied. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 22 (A) and 23 (A), the characters “Push the order!” Are displayed on the second display device 330, and three characters “?” Are displayed. Are displayed on the second display device 330 in a positional relationship corresponding to the three stop buttons. Also, the production control means 200 does not notify the specific batting order until at least the first (Mth) stop operation is performed in the specific production, and applies the specific batting order when the last stop operation is performed. Notify whether or not

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

2. In the present embodiment, in the game in which a specific effect instructing to apply a specific batting order from a plurality of types of pressing orders is performed, the first (up to Mth) stop operation follows the specific batting order. In this case, a method for notifying the specific batting order is employed.

  Specifically, as described above, the specific effect is executed in the game in which the special replay is won in the AT state. When the special replay is won in the AT state, the main board 10 performs the AT control. The means 180 performs a notification lottery based on the fact that the first (first) stop operation is performed in the specific hit order. In the notice lottery, a random number value is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the notice lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 195 to determine whether the notice lottery is won or not according to the comparison result. To do. In the notification lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number obtained in the notification lottery is selected in the notification lottery table. When it is matched, it is determined that the notification lottery has been won.

  Then, on the main board 10, the AT control means 180 sets the display of the payout display section PO from “10” to “1” to “6” as a specific batting order based on the winning of the notification lottery. Control is performed to switch the display according to the type of pressing order. More specifically, when batting order 1 is set as the specific batting order, pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 1 as the instruction content switches to the preset display of “1”, and the specific batting order is set as the specific batting order. When the batting order 2 is set, pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 2 as the instruction content switches to the preset “2” display, and the batting order 3 is set as the specific batting order. In this case, pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 3 as the instruction content switches to the preset “3” display, and when the batting order 4 is set as the specific batting order, the instruction content is Pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 4 switches to the preset “4” display, and when the batting order 5 is set as the specific batting order, Pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 5 switches to the preset display of “5”, and when the batting order 6 is set as the specific batting order, the stop button B1 is used as the instruction content in the batting order 6. Pressing ~ B3 switches to a preset display of “6”. Thereby, the AT control means 180 notifies the specific batting order when the notification lottery is won.

  On the other hand, on the main board 10, the AT control means 180 displays the payout display section when the result of the notice lottery is lost or when the first stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the specific batting order. The PO display is maintained at “10”.

  In the main board 10, the communication control means 185 notifies the sub board 20 of the specific batting order when the first stop operation is performed when the special replay is won in the AT state. By outputting the notification signal, the sub-board 20 is notified of the type of pressing order set as the specific batting order.

  In the main board 10, the communication control means 185 outputs a notice lottery result notification signal to the sub-board 20 when the special lottery is won in the AT state and triggered by the notice lottery. Then, the sub lot 20 is notified of the result of the notification lottery.

  Then, in the sub-board 20, when the specific batting order notification signal output from the main board 10 is input in the game in which the special replay is won in the AT state, the effect control means 200 performs the first stop based on the signal. It is a notification lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 when it is determined whether or not the operation is performed along the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 and is performed along the specific batting order. When a notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is a win is input, the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 is notified based on the specific batting order notification signal. Specifically, in the specific effect executed in the game in which the special replay is won in the AT state, three “?” Characters are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD as the second display device 330, and the first in the game. When the stop operation is performed according to the specific stroke order, when the notification lottery is won, the effect control unit 200 sets the display of the three characters “?” As the specific stroke order. Switch to the number display. Thereby, the production control means 200 notifies the specific batting order when the notification lottery is won (when the predetermined condition is satisfied).

  On the other hand, in the sub-board 20, the effect control means 200 receives a notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is lost when it is performed along the specific hitting order (a predetermined condition is satisfied). If the first stop operation is performed according to a pressing order different from the specific hit order notified from the main board 10, three "?" Characters are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Is maintained and the specific batting order is not notified. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control unit 200 responds to the result of the notice lottery performed on the main board 10 when the first stop operation is performed in the specific stroke order in the specific effect ( Depending on whether or not the predetermined condition is established, the case where the specific batting order is notified and the case where the specific batting order is not notified are switched.

  Next, the method employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 23, taking as an example the case where the batting order 1 is set as the specific batting order.

  First, when the special replay is won in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), on the main board 10, the AT control means 180 displays “10” as the instruction information on the payout display section PO, and the sub board 20 The effect control means 200 executes a specific effect instructing to apply a specific hitting order from among a plurality of types of pressing orders. In the specific effect, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the characters “Hold the pressing order!” And three characters “?” Are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22A, if the stop button B1 is first pressed, the communication control means 185 in the main board 10 notifies the batting order 1 as the specific batting order to the sub board 20. The AT control means 180 outputs a signal, and since the stop operation is performed along the batting order 1 set as the specific batting order, the AT control means 180 performs the notice lottery, and the communication control means 185 A notification lottery result notification signal for notifying the result of the notification lottery is output.

  When the notification lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 22B, on the main board 10, the AT control means 180 switches the display of the payout display section PO from “10” to “1”, and the sub board. At 20, the effect control means 200 switches the display of the three “?” Characters on the liquid crystal display LCD to the number display indicating the batting order 1 set as the specific batting order. And when the last stop operation is performed in the said game, it alert | reports whether the specific batting order was able to be applied. In this case, since the specific batting order is notified in response to the first stop operation, the player can easily apply the specific batting order simply by performing the stop operation according to the notified pressing order.

  On the other hand, if the result of the notice lottery is a loss, as shown in FIG. 22 (C), the AT control means 180 maintains the display of the payout display section PO as “10” on the main board 10, In the sub-board 20, the effect control means 200 maintains the display of the character “?” On the liquid crystal display LCD so as not to notify the specific batting order. And when the last stop operation is performed in the said game, it alert | reports whether the specific batting order was able to be applied.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, if the stop button B2 is first pressed, the main board 10 outputs a specific batting order notification signal for notifying the sub board 20 of the batting order 1 as the specific batting order, and the AT Since the stop operation is performed according to a pressing order different from the batting order 1 set as the specific batting order, the control means 180 does not perform the notification lottery, and the communication control means 185 In contrast, the notification lottery result notification signal is not output.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 23B, on the main board 10, the AT control means 180 maintains the display of the payout display section PO as “10”, and the sub board 20 produces the effect control means. No. 200 maintains the display of the character “?” On the liquid crystal display LCD so that the specific batting order is not notified. And when the last stop operation is performed in the said game, it alert | reports whether the specific batting order was able to be applied.

  Next, a processing flow of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 24 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the main board 10 of the gaming machine of the present embodiment, and FIG. 25 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the sub board 20 of the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  First, on the main board 10, as shown in FIG. 24, when a special replay is won in the AT state (Y in Step S100), a specific batting order lottery is performed (Step S101), and a specific batting order is set (Step S102). “10” is displayed as information on the payout display section PO (step S103).

  When the first stop operation is performed (Y in step S104), a specific batting order notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 (step S105), and the first stopping operation is performed according to the specific batting order. If this is the case (Y in step S106), a notification lottery is performed (step S107), a notification lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 (step S108), and if the notification lottery is won (step S109). Y), the display on the payout display section PO is switched from “10” to a display corresponding to the type of pressing order set as the specific batting order among “1” to “6” (step S110).

  On the other hand, when the first stop operation is performed according to the pressing order different from the specific hit order (N in step S106), the notice lottery is not performed, and the display on the payout display section PO is maintained at “10”. The In addition, when the first stop operation is performed in the specific hit order but the result of the notice lottery is lost (Y in step S106, N in step S109), the display on the payout display section PO is “10”. Is maintained.

  When the last stop operation is performed in the game and all the reels stop (Y in step S111), if the stop operation is performed in the specific hit order (Y in step S112), the AT end determination counter An addition process of adding a given value to the stored value of 196 is performed (step S113), and the display of “10” (display of instruction information) on the payout display section PO is cleared (step S114).

  Subsequently, in the sub-board 20, as shown in FIG. 25, the special replay is won in the AT state. Specifically, the sub-board 20 is an internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 and notifies the special replay win. When the lottery result notification signal is input (Y in step S200), as shown in FIG. 22A, a specific effect instructing to apply a specific batting order from a plurality of types of pressing orders is executed (step S201). ). When the first stop operation is performed (Y in step S202), the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 based on the specific batting order notification signal output from the main board 10. If it is performed according to a specific batting order (Y in step S203), it is a notification lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10, and the result of the notification lottery is a win. When the notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that is input (Y in step S204), based on the specific batting order notification signal, as shown in FIG. The display of the characters is switched to the display of numbers indicating the pressing order set as the specific batting order, and the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 is notified (step S205).

  On the other hand, based on the specific batting order notification signal output from the main board 10, when the first stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the specific batting order (N in step S <b> 203), or output from the main board 10. If a notification lottery result notification signal is input that is a notification lottery result notification signal that indicates that the result of the notification lottery is lost (Y in step S204), the character “?” On the liquid crystal display LCD is displayed. The display is maintained and the specific batting order is not notified.

  When the last stop operation is performed in the game and all the reels are stopped (Y in step S206), it is notified whether or not the specific batting order has been achieved (step S207).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special replay is won in the AT state, a game in which the specific batting order is applied from the six pressing orders is performed, and when the specific batting order can be applied, the AT end determination counter The privilege of adding a given value to the stored value of 196 is granted. In the present embodiment, since one of the six pressing orders is set as the specific striking order, the specific striking order can be applied only with a probability of 1/6. Is performed, it is possible to easily apply the order of the remaining stop operations simply by applying the first stop operation, so that the specific stop order can be applied with a probability of 1/3. become. As a result, a specific batting order that can only be applied with a probability of 1/6 can be applied with a probability higher than 1/6, which makes it easier for the player to achieve and improves game playability. It becomes possible to plan.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order, the case where the specific batting order is notified and the case where the specific batting order is not notified are switched according to the result of the notification lottery. Therefore, the range of production can be widened, and the playability can be improved.

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

  In the above embodiment, when a special replay is won in the AT state on the main board 10, a case where a specific batting order notification signal is output to the sub board 20 is triggered by the first stop operation. Although described as an example, when a special replay is won in the AT state, a specific batting order signal is output to the sub-board 20 when a specific batting order lottery is performed and a specific batting order is set. Good. That is, a specific batting order signal may be output to the sub-board 20 at the time of a game start operation on the start lever SL.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the special replay is won in the AT state on the main board 10, the case where the notification lottery is performed with the first stop operation performed according to the specific batting order as an example will be described. However, when the special replay is won in the AT state, a notification lottery is performed, a notification lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20, and the first lottery operation is specified when the notification lottery is won. Based on what has been performed in the batting order, the display of the payout display section PO is switched from “10” to a display corresponding to the type of pressing order set as a specific batting order among “1” to “6”. In the sub-board 20, when the notification lottery is won, the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 is based on the fact that the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order. It may be known.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the presence / absence of notification of the specific batting order is determined by notification lottery in the main board 10 has been described as an example, but may be determined based on the result of the internal lottery. For example, as a replay winning mode, a special replay 1 and a special replay 2 in which the replay 2 is won and the winning modes are different from each other are prepared, and the special replay 1 or the special replay 2 is won in the AT state (under specific conditions) When the special replay 1 or the special replay 2 is won in the AT state on the main board 10, a specific batting order lottery is performed to set the specific batting order on the main board 10, and the sub board 20 By outputting a special replay winning notification signal, the sub-board 20 is notified that one of the special replays has been won by internal lottery, and is specified to the sub-board 20 when the first stop operation is performed. When the batting order notification signal is output and the special replay 1 is won when the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order In this case, a notification signal for notifying the sub-board 20 of the notification of the specific batting order is output, and the display on the payout display section PO is set from “10” to “1” to “6” as the specific batting order. The display is switched to the display corresponding to the type of the pressing order, and when the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order in the sub-board 20, a notification is made that the specific batting order output from the main board 10 is notified. The special batting order notified from the main board 10 is notified based on the input of the notification signal to be performed. On the other hand, when the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, the special replay 2 is won. If so, a notification signal for notifying the sub-board 20 of not notifying the specific batting order is output, and the display of the payout display section PO is maintained at “10”. When the stop operation is performed in accordance with the specific batting order, when the notification signal for notifying the specific batting order that is output from the main board 10 is input, the specific batting order may not be reported. Good. That is, in the AT state, when the special replay 1 is won and the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, the specific batting order is always notified, and when the special replay 2 is won, the first stop operation is performed. When the stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, the specific batting order may not be notified. In this way, when the special replay 1 is won, if the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, the specific batting order is always notified, so the specific batting order is applied with a probability of 1/3. It becomes possible to choose 3 choices. In this example, the notification lottery performed in the above embodiment is not necessary. Further, in this example, when special replay 1 or special replay 2 is won, the reels that are rotating are stopped so that any of the replays wins. In particular, this relates to the order and timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. It is desirable to stop the spinning reel so that the replay 2 wins.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the specific batting order is determined by the specific batting order lottery on the main board 10 has been described as an example, but the specific batting order may be determined in advance. For example, as the winning mode of the replay, six types of winning modes of special replay 1 to special replay 6 in which the replay 2 is won and the winning modes are different from each other are prepared. Set, batting order 2 is preset as a specific batting order for special replay 2, batting order 3 is preset as a specific batting order for special replay 3, and batting order 4 is set as a specific batting order for special replay 4 Pre-set, batting order 5 is preset as a specific batting order for special replay 5, and batting order 6 is preset as a specific batting order for special replay 6, and any of special replay 1 to special replay 6 in the AT state In the game where Kaga has been won (under specific conditions), a game is applied that hits a specific batting order. When one of the replays 6 is won, a special replay winning notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 that one of the special replays has been won by internal lottery. When a stop operation is performed, a specific batting order notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of a specific batting order according to the type of special replay, and the first stop operation is performed. A payout display is performed when a notification lottery is performed based on what is performed in accordance with a specific batting order corresponding to the type of special replay, a notification lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20, and the notification lottery is won. The display of the part PO is switched from “10” to a display corresponding to the type of pressing order set as the specific batting order among “1” to “6”. When the stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 is notified when the notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is winning is input. You may do it. In this example, when any of special replay 1 to special replay 6 is won, the spinning reel is stopped so that any of the replays wins. In particular, the order and timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 Regardless, it is desirable to stop the rotating reel so that Replay 2 wins.

  In the above embodiment, the case where one of the six pressing orders is set as the specific hit order on the main board 10 has been described as an example. However, a plurality of pressing orders are set as the specific hit order. You may do it. For example, batting order 1, batting order 3, and batting order 5 may be set as specific batting orders. In this way, the first stop operation is always performed according to the specific hit order, and the second stop operation is two choices, so that the specific hit order can be applied with a probability of 1/2. become. In addition, in this example, what can be given a specific batting order with a probability of 1/2 can be shown to the player as if the specific batting order can only be applied with a probability of 1/6. If it can be hit, the player's sense of achievement can be enhanced.

  In this example, when the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order on the main board 10, the stop operated first among the three specific batting orders of batting order 1, batting order 3, and batting order 5. A specific batting order notification signal for notifying one specific batting order including the type of button is output to the sub-board 20, and the first stop operation is performed on the sub-board 20 along the specific batting order. When the notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is a win is input, the specific batting order notified from the main substrate 10 may be notified. When the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order, a specific batting order notification signal for notifying three specific batting orders is output to the sub-board 20, and the first stop operation is specified on the sub-board 20. When the notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is a win is input, among the three specific batting orders notified from the main board 10, You may make it alert | report one kind of specific batting order including the kind of stop button operated 1st.

  Further, in this example, when the first stop operation can be applied from the three specific batting orders of batting order 1, batting order 3 and batting order 5 on the main board 10, the pressing order of the remaining stop operations is notified. A specific batting order selection lottery for selecting a specific batting order is performed, the specific batting order selected by the lottery is notified to the sub-board 20, and the first stop operation is notified from the main board 10 on the sub-board 20. In the case of the specific batting order and the specific batting order selected by the specific batting order selection lottery, the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 includes the type of the stop button operated first. The specific batting order is notified, and the first stop operation is the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 and different from the specific batting order selected by the specific batting order selection lottery. If done along it may be configured not to broadcast a particular batting order. In this example, the notification lottery performed in the above embodiment is not necessary. In the specific batting order selection lottery, only some (1 or 2) of the three specific batting orders may be selected, or all may be selectable.

  Also, in this example, as the winning mode of the replay, a special replay 1 and a special replay 2 are prepared in which the replay 2 is won and the winning modes are different from each other. When a special replay 1 is won on the main board 10 in the AT state, a specific batting order is set out of the six pressing orders. When the special replay 2 is won in the state, three specific batting orders (for example, batting order 2, batting order 4, batting order 6 and the like, which are different from each other in the type of the stop button to be operated first from among the six pushing orders) ) And when the special replay 1 is won on the sub-board 20, the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order. When a notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the lottery result is winning is input, the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 is notified, and when the special replay 2 is won, the first stop operation is specified. When performed in accordance with the batting order, the specific batting order notified from the main board 10 and including the type of the stop button operated first may be notified. In this way, when the special replay 2 is won, the first stop operation is always performed along the specific batting order, and the specific batting order is always notified when the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order. Therefore, a specific batting order can be easily applied.

  Further, for example, two types of pressing order (for example, batting order 1 and batting order 2) having the same type of stop button to be operated first may be set as the specific batting order.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the specific batting order is set from among the six depression orders on the main board 10 has been described as an example. However, the specific batting order is set from at least two depression orders. For example, a specific batting order may be set from batting order 1 to batting order 4. In this example, in a specific effect, it may be instructed to apply a specific batting order from batting order 1 to batting order 4, or an instruction to apply a specific batting order from batting order 1 to batting order 6 may be used. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the specific batting order is set on the main board 10 when the special replay is won in the AT state is described as an example. However, the first stop operation is performed as an opportunity. A specific batting order may be set. In this example, the specific batting order lottery may be performed so as to determine the specific batting order from the batting order 1 to batting order 6, and among the two pressing orders including the type of the stop button operated first. The specific batting order lottery may be performed so as to determine the specific batting order, and one of the two pressing orders including the type of the first operated stop button is easily determined as the specific batting order. A specific batting order lottery may be performed. Further, in this example, the specific batting order may be reset when the first stop operation is performed along a pressing order different from the specific batting order. In this case, the specific batting order lottery may be performed to reset the specific batting order so as to determine the specific batting order from the two pressing orders including the type of the stop button operated first.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when all stop operation is performed along the specific batting order in the main board | substrate 10, the case where the privilege of adding a given value to the memory | storage value of AT end determination counter 196 is provided. Although described as an example, when the first stop operation is performed along the specific batting order and the notification lottery is won, the second and subsequent remaining stop operations can be easily applied by the notification of the specific batting order. Therefore, even if the player mistakenly performs the second and subsequent remaining stop operations according to the pressing order different from the specific batting order, it is considered that the stop operation has been performed in the specific batting order and a privilege is given. You may make it do. That is, in this example, a privilege may be given based on winning the notification lottery.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the specific effect on the sub-board 20, the case where the specific batting order is notified when the last stop operation is performed has been described as an example. In order to determine whether or not the stop operation has been performed along the specific batting order at the time when the stop operation is performed, the specific batting order notification signal output from the main board 10 when the second stop operation is performed. Based on the above, it is determined whether or not the second stop operation has been performed according to the specific batting order notified from the main board 10, and the specific batting order can be applied when triggered by the determination. You may make it alert | report whether it was.

  In the above embodiment, in the sub-board 20, in the specific effect, the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, and the notification lottery result notification for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is a win. The case where a specific batting order notified from the main board 10 is notified as an example when a signal is input has been described as an example. However, even when a stop operation is performed according to a pressing order different from the specific batting order, the specific batting order is also specified. You may make it alert | report a specific batting order with the alert | report of whether the batting order was able to be applied. In this example, when the first stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the specific hit order, the specific hit order is notified at any time point among the first, second, and third stop operations. Alternatively, the first stop operation is performed according to the specific batting order, and the notification lottery result notification signal for notifying that the result of the notification lottery is lost is input. When the stop operation is performed along a pressing order different from the specific hit order, the specific hit order may be notified at any time point between the second and third stop operations.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where a game is applied in which a specific batting order is applied from among six kinds of pressing orders when a special replay that is won by overlapping Replay 1 and Replay 2 is won has been described as an example. For example, when a winning mode in which one type of replay is won alone is won, a game in which a specific batting order is applied may be performed. Moreover, it is not limited to the time of winning a replay, and may be the time of winning a small role. For example, when a special small role is elected, the special small role is awarded regardless of the order and timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. You may make it play the game which hits a batting order. That is, in the internal lottery, the lottery result in which the mode of the stop operation does not affect the profit given according to the game result (for example, the winning mode in which the same combination wins regardless of the mode of the stop operation, the mode of the stop operation) In the event that a winning mode in which one of the replays wins, a winning mode in which one of the small roles with the same payout set in accordance with the mode of the stop operation wins, a loss (unwinning), etc.) is obtained A game in which a specific batting order is applied may be performed.

  Furthermore, in the internal lottery, not only when the lottery result in which the mode of the stop operation does not affect the profits given according to the game result is obtained, but also in the internal lottery, When winning, you may make it play the game which hits a specific batting order. In this example, the specific batting order can be the correct batting order corresponding to the type of the 8 sheet batting order small combination or the 3 sheet batting order small combination. For example, in the main board 10, even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the gaming state is maintained in the AT state, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value. In the later AT state, while not decrementing the AT end determination counter 196, the pressing order (incorrect answering order) is different from the correct answering order when winning the eight-batting order or three-batting order The number of incorrect answer operations, which is the number of stop operations, is counted, and when the number of incorrect answer operations reaches a predetermined number (for example, 2 times), the AT state is terminated, while the number of incorrect answer operations is If the stop operation is performed in the correct hit order when winning the eight-batting order small combination or the three-batting order small combination until the predetermined number (for example, two) is reached, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 is stored. Given (For example, 50) is set, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 196 is resumed to continue the AT state, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the sub-board 20. In the AT state after this, a game that applies a specific batting order by executing a specific effect in place of the correct batting order notification effect may be performed when winning the 8 batting order small role or the 3 batting order small role. That is, in this example, after the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the stop operation is performed twice in succession along the incorrect hit order when the eight-batted order small combination or three-batted order small combination is won. This is the end condition for the AT state, and when the winning condition of the eight-batted-order small winning combination or the three-batted-order small winning combination is reached from when the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value until the end condition for the AT state is satisfied. When a game is applied to a specific batting order (correct batting order) and the specific batting order can be applied, a privilege of setting a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 is given and the AT state is changed. Will be able to continue. In this example, in the AT state after the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value on the main board 10, the correct hit order is in accordance with the winning order of the eight-batted order small combination and the three-sheet-batted order small role. When a stop operation is performed, a privilege of resetting the counted number of incorrect answer operations is given, and a chance combination or chance replay is performed by an internal lottery until the number of incorrect answer operations reaches a predetermined number (for example, two times). Is selected, a process of setting a given value (for example, 50) to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 is performed, and the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 196 is resumed to continue the AT state. It may be.

  Moreover, although the case where the game which hits the specific batting order in the AT state is described as an example in the above embodiment, a game which hits the specific batting order in the non-AT state may be played. For example, when a special replay is won in an internal lottery in the non-AT state on the main board 10, an effect execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not the sub board 20 is to execute a specific effect, and the effect execution lottery is won. In addition, a specific batting order lottery is performed to set a specific batting order, the result of the effect execution lottery is notified to the sub-board 20, and “10” is displayed on the payout display section PO as instruction information, and the first stop operation is performed. When a notification lottery is performed based on what was performed in accordance with the specific batting order, and the notification lottery is won, the display of the payout display section PO is changed from “10” to “1” to “6” as a specific batting order. The display is switched according to the type of pressing order set, and the special replay is won by the internal lottery in the non-AT state on the sub-board 20, and the main board 10 wins the effect execution lottery. In the case where it is notified, when a specific effect is executed and a stop operation is performed according to a specific batting order, the game state is shifted to the AT state on the main board 10 and stored in the AT end determination counter 196. You may make it provide the privilege of performing the process which sets a given value to a value.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the instruction information, which is information indicating the instruction content of the gaming method, is displayed on the payout display unit PO has been described as an example. However, any apparatus can be used as long as the apparatus is controlled by the main board 10. For example, it may be displayed on the credit display unit CD, the bonus display unit BS, or the like.

  In the above embodiment, the case where numbers “1” to “10” are set as instruction information to be displayed on the payout display unit PO has been described as an example. However, the instruction information is not limited to numbers. , Characters, symbols, figures, a combination of lighting / extinguishing of a plurality of lamps and LEDs, a combination of light emission colors of a plurality of LEDs, etc., as shown in FIGS. 26 (A) and (B). Similarly, the pressing order may be displayed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where “10” is displayed on the payout display section PO as the instruction information when the special replay is won in the AT state has been described as an example, but “?” Or “?? Or the like may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the special small role is elected alone in the normal state or the bonus establishment state has been described as an example. However, the winning mode in which a plurality of types of small roles including the special small role are won in succession is described. An internal lottery may be performed so that it exists. In this example, when the winning mode is obtained by internal lottery, the rotating reels may be stopped so that the same winning combination is won regardless of the order of the stop operation and the timing of the stop operation. . Also, in this example, the special small role is won in duplicate with a small role (for example, correct small number 6-7) whose payout is the same as that of the special small role (the profit given to the player when winning is the same). In this way, the winning mode may be set, and when the winning mode is obtained by internal lottery, the spinning reel may be stopped so that one of the small roles always wins. In addition, in addition to a small role that has the same dividend as a special small role, a small role whose dividend is lower than that of a special small role (for example, a fraudulent small role) will be elected in duplicate. The rotating reels may be stopped so that any of the small combinations whose payouts are set identically wins.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the pressing order to be notified by the pressing order lottery is determined when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the AT state has been described as an example. The predetermined pressing order (for example, batting order 1) may be notified.

  Moreover, although the case where the sub board | substrate 20 performed the pressing order lottery was demonstrated as an example in the said embodiment, you may make it the main board | substrate 10 perform.

  In the above embodiment, when the batting order replay B is won on the sub-board 20, the special batting order notification effect for notifying the special batting order is executed in the non-AT state, and the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery is performed in the AT state. Although the case where the pressing order notification effect for notifying the player is executed has been described as an example, the special batting order notification effect for notifying the special batting order may be executed even in the AT state. For example, the main board 10 performs an extra lottery when the batting order replay B is won in the AT state, and performs an extra process of adding a given value to the AT end determination counter 196 when the extra lottery is won, If the sub board 20 wins the extra lottery performed on the main board 10 when winning the batting order replay B in the AT state, the sub board 20 executes a special batting order notification effect informing the special batting order, and the result of the extra lottery is lost. In such a case, a pressing order lottery may be performed, and a pressing order notification effect for notifying the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery may be executed.

  Similarly, when the batting order replay A is elected, when the batting order replay A is won in the AT state, an effect execution lottery is performed. If the result of the effect execution lottery is lost, the pressing order lottery may be performed, and the pressing order notification effect for notifying the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery may be executed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the gaming state in the bonus state is the same has been described, but the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state and the bonus establishment state is the same. The prescribed number of bonus states may be different from the normal state and the bonus establishment state. For example, the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state and the bonus establishment state may be set to three, the prescribed number of insertions in the bonus state may be set to two, and the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state and the bonus establishment state may be three. Two (or one) may be set to be selectable, and in the bonus state, the specified number of throws may be set to any one of three, two, and one. In this example, the payout for the small role is determined by the prescribed number of inputs, and the dividend for each small role is compared with the dividend at the specified number of inputs in the normal state or the bonus established state. It is desirable to set the same number or more.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the winning mode in which the correct answer small roles 1-5 overlap is not provided as the winning mode of the small role in the normal state and the bonus established state, There may be provided a winning mode in which these roles are won in duplicate. In addition, in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, there may be a winning mode in which only some or all of these winning combinations are won, or only some of these winning combinations are winning. A mode and a winning mode in which all of these roles are won in duplicate may be mixed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as the winning mode of the small role in the bonus state, a case where there is no winning mode in which the correct small roles 1 to 5 win without overlapping each other, but in the bonus state, these roles are mutually connected. A winning mode for winning without duplication may be provided. In addition, in the bonus state, a winning mode may be set in which only some or all of these roles are won, and a winning mode in which only some of these roles are won and A winning mode in which all of the winning combinations are won may be mixed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the loss is not generated in the bonus establishment state and the replay or the small role is always won is described as an example. However, the probability is extremely low (for example, 1/65536) in the bonus establishment state. In this case, the big bonus (BB) may be awarded only when a loss (unauthorized) occurs and the result of the internal lottery is a loss. In this example, 3 and 2 (or 1) can be selected as the specified number of inserts in the normal state and the bonus established state, and the bonus number is set to only 3 in the bonus state. In the state, if the specified number of insertions is 3, no loss (unfair election) will occur, and either a small role or replay will always win and the specified number of insertions is 2 (or 1) An internal lottery is performed so that a loss in which neither a small role nor a replay is won can occur, and when the result of the internal lottery is a loss in the bonus establishment state, only the big bonus (BB) is won. Based on this, a big bonus (BB) may be awarded. In this case, it is preferable to avoid the big bonus (BB) winning regardless of the mode of the stop operation when a small role or replay is won in the bonus establishment state. Also, in the bonus establishment state, it is sufficient that the replay wins with a higher probability than the normal state when at least 3 medals are inserted, and the number of inserted medals is 2 (or 1). In some cases, the replay may be won with the same probability as the normal state or with a lower probability than the normal state.

  In this way, when three medals are inserted, in order to maintain the bonus establishment state, the replay or small role in which the winning is given priority over the big bonus (BB) is always won in the bonus establishment state. The operational burden on the player is greatly reduced, and when two (or one) medals are inserted, an opportunity to win a big bonus (BB) can be easily achieved because an internal lottery can cause a loss. Can get. That is, the player can determine whether or not to maintain the bonus establishment state simply by selecting the number of medals inserted.

  Also, in the above embodiment, when a winning combination of 8 sheets or a winning combination of 3 sheets is won, a big bonus (BB) can be won if the winning combination cannot be won according to the stop button pressing order or pressing timing. You may make it become. For example, when the symbol combination displayed in the case of winning of the eight-batted order small role or the three-batted-order small role is set as a symbol combination indicating a big bonus (BB) winning pattern. , By pressing the stop button B1 for the first time when winning the eight-batting order or three-batting order, the incorrect answering role A1, the incorrect answering role A2, the incorrect answering rolebook A3, or the incorrect answering rolebook A4 A big bonus (BB) can be awarded in the event of a loss.

  That is, in the winning mode of some small roles in the bonus establishment state, the bonus may be able to be won by losing the selected small role, or when the small role is won in the bonus establishment state, Bonus winning may be avoided regardless of the winning mode of the winning small role. If the bonus winning is avoided regardless of whether a small role or replay is won as in the latter case, the medal can be given to the player while greatly reducing the player's operational burden to maintain the bonus establishment state. Can be earned.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the bonus state, the case where the winning probabilities of all the small roles are increased from the normal state or the bonus establishment state has been described as an example. However, in the bonus state, at least one small role (for example, The winning probability of correct small part 1 or special small part or chance part) may be raised from the normal state or bonus establishment state, and the remaining winning small parts will be the same as the normal state or bonus establishment state.
