In addition to triggering the rotation of the reels R1 to R3, the internal lottery means 120 described later triggers the internal lottery.

  The random number generation means 110 is means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random number can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number” is not limited to a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are substantially irregular. Values that can function as random numbers are also included.

  The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal that is output when the player executes a start operation on the start lever SL and the start switch 230 detects the start operation. This is a means for performing lottery table selection processing, random number determination processing, lottery flag setting processing, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190 is selected based on the current gaming state to use the internal lottery table. To do.

  In each internal lottery table, each of a plurality of random numbers (for example, 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535) is associated with various combinations such as replays, small roles, bonuses, and loses (non-winning). . Here, in the present embodiment, the bonus is used in the present embodiment in a state where the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E selected when the gaming state is the RT0 state to the RT4 state and the gaming state is any one of the RT0 state to the RT4 state. Selected from RT0 internal state to RT4 internal state, which is a gaming state to be transferred when winning the Challenge Big Bonus (hereinafter referred to as “CBB”) as a continuous actuating device relating to the second type special feature prepared as The internal lottery table F to the internal lottery table J have the same winning probability for the small role, and as the small roles, the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6, the common bell role, and the three-bell role (Hereafter, batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6, common bell role and 3 bell roles are collectively referred to as “bell role”), chance role, cherry role, and watermelon role, respectively. Random number is associated with. In addition, in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E, CBB is set as a lottery object, and the internal lottery table F to be selected in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state which is a gaming state executed after the CBB is won. In the internal lottery table J, losing (non-winning) is targeted for lottery instead of CBB. Then, in the internal lottery table K selected when the gaming state is the bonus state, the first small role where 14 payouts are made by winning and the second payout where 13 pieces are made by winning. A random number is associated with each small role.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, Bell A, Bell B, special small roles 1 to 6, and chances are given as winning combinations (hereinafter referred to as “winning combinations”). A winning combination, a cherry winning combination and a watermelon winning combination are prepared, and a hitting order bell 1 to a hitting order bell 6 are set as winning modes of small combinations in which a plurality of types of winning combinations are won in duplicate.

  Here, the “batting order” means the order in which the pressing operation is performed on the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, and includes six hitting orders of the hitting order 1 to the hitting order 6. In the slot machine 1 of the present 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. For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  The batting order 1 is a batting order referred to as a so-called forward push in which a stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B2, and the stop button B3. The batting order 2 is a batting order called so-called scissors, in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B3, and the stop button B2. The batting order 3 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B1, and the stop button B3. The batting order 4 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B3, and the stop button B1. The batting order 5 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B1 → stop button B2. The hitting order 6 is a hitting order called so-called reverse pressing in which stop operations are executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B2 → stop button B1.

  In the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6, the bell A and any one of the special small roles 1 to 6 are selected and won. Here, the bell A is a winning combination for winning a prize regardless of the timing of pressing each stop button when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6. Yes, for example, when the hitting bell 1 is won, and when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the hitting order 1, a prize is won. In addition, the special small role 1 to special small role 6 are operated by pressing the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in a batting order other than the batting order in which the bell A can be won when the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 is won, and each stop button Is a winning combination that can be won when the timing of pressing is appropriate. For example, when the batting order bell 1 is won, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are placed in any one of the batting order 2 to the batting order 6. A prize is awarded when a press operation is performed and the timing of pressing each stop button is appropriate.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the batting order in which the bell A cannot be won when the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 is won, and the special small roles 1 to special When each stop button is pressed at a pressing timing at which the small combination 6 cannot be won, a missing case that no winning combination is won occurs. Moreover, in the following description, the batting order in which the bell A can be awarded when the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won is also referred to as a correct batting order. The batting order in which the bell A cannot be won when the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won is also referred to as an incorrect answer batting order.

  The common bell combination is configured so that Bell A can win and Bell A can win a prize regardless of the order of hitting and the timing of pressing. Further, the three-bell combination is configured such that Bell B can win a prize regardless of the hitting order and the pressing timing. The chance combination is a small combination that is configured to be able to win when the stop button B1 is properly pressed, and has a lower win probability than the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6, the common bell part, and the three-belt part. It is comprised so that it may become. Further, the cherry role is a small role that is configured to be able to win a prize when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate, and at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is selected at the time of winning. It is a small role in which cherry symbols are displayed in at least one of the upper, middle and lower levels. The watermelon role is a small role that is configured to be able to win a prize when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate. At the time of winning, at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 It is a small part in which watermelon symbols are displayed in at least one of the upper, middle and lower stages. Here, the cherry role and the watermelon role are configured such that the winning probability is lower than the chance role. And when the chance combination, cherry combination or watermelon combination is won, if the timing of pressing the stop button B1 is the timing at which the chance combination, cherry combination or watermelon combination cannot be won, no combination is won. It will be missed.

  The payout of the bell A is set to a payout number (for example, 9) that is larger than the specified number of inserts at the time of winning. In addition, the payout of the bell B is set to the same number of payouts as the prescribed insertion number of three. In addition, the payout for the watermelon combination is set to a payout number (for example, 6 sheets) that is larger than the specified insertion number. In addition, the chance combination and the cherry combination are set to a payout number (for example, two) smaller than the predetermined insertion number at the time of winning. The special small combination 1 to special special combination 6 are set to a payout number (for example, one) smaller than the predetermined insertion number at the time of winning.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, a random number (lottery random number) generated by the random number generator 110 for each game is acquired, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. Compared with the lottery table, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is won based on the comparison result.

  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 slot machine 1 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 storage unit 190.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a winning state are carried over for the next game regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to a non-winning state is prepared. The combination that the former carry-over possible flag is associated with is CBB, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossibility flag. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, when the CBB is won by internal lottery, the winning state of the CBB lottery flag is carried over until the CBB 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 CBB lottery flag is carried over. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the CBB lottery flag is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, the CBB lottery flag already won and the small lottery won by the internal lottery A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a combination and a replay lottery flag is set in a winning state. Note that the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets the lottery flags of all small roles to the ON state regardless of the result of the internal lottery when the gaming state is the bonus state.

  The reel control means 130 is driven by the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that operates when the player performs a start operation on the start lever SL. The rotation drive of is started. In addition, the reel control means 130, when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is a rotation state in which the rotation is a steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm), the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel. Control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the stop button B3 is pressed is executed. The reel control means 130 stops supplying the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Then, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a manner corresponding to the lottery flag setting state, that is, the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed. Thus, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. The reel is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed based on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. Up to 4 frames can be rotated up to this point. 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 valid when the position is within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line L1 at the time when the operation is pressed. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

  Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time) is set. Then, when the reel control means 130 receives a start signal from the start switch 230 within a period from the setting of the standby time until the standby time elapses, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 after the standby time has elapsed. Is configured to start rotation. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start a game after a minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a certain time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. .

  The reel control unit 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190, so that the reel control unit 130 rotates. Table reference processing for determining the stop position is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output once has been rotated when the photo sensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reel reference position at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor). To get. 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 the logic calculation process, 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, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. In the logic operation processing, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the internal winning state, the stop including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having the highest priority according to the priority order associated with each winning combination. The priority is determined so that the position candidate has a higher priority than the stop position candidate including the symbols constituting the winning form of the role having a low priority.

  Note that, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery, the method of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line L1. There are a method for obtaining the priority and a method for obtaining the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a payout predetermined for the small role. In the case of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates in accordance with the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the effective line L1 (hereinafter, “winning symbol combination”). The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position increases in number. In addition, when the priority of the stop position candidates is obtained according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small role corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is, the higher the stop position becomes, that is, the stop position where a small combination with a large payout can be won. However, when determining the priority of stop position candidates according to the number of paid-out medals, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, each of the small positions can be won. Candidate priorities are treated as the same.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining reel stop position candidates. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that the 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 combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state in a winning form, while the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain reel stop position candidates so as not to stop at.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the CBB is won and the gaming state is shifted to the bonus state, the reel control unit 130 determines that the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Within 75 ms from the time of pressing, the reel stop control is executed so as to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button. Here, when a reel that is rotating is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed based on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. It is configured to be able to rotate by one frame at the maximum. In the reel stop control in the bonus state, the reel control means 130 stops at least one predetermined reel among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed. Thus, the reel stop control may be executed.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for 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, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, the display is made on the active line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination that has been set is a predetermined winning combination. Then, a winning determination table is provided so that the presence / absence of CBB, replay, and small role winning can be determined (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”) based on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 in a state where each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the bell A is the stop button B1 when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the correct answer hit order when the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6 is selected or when the common bell combination is won. It is configured to be able to win a prize regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3. That is, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the bell A are arranged on the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line L1 regardless of the pressed detection position. Similarly, the replay and the bell B are configured so that a winning can be made regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button. On the other hand, in CBB, special small role 1 to special small role 6, chance role, cherry role, and watermelon role, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of each winning role are located within the range of the number of sliding symbols. In this state, the reels are arranged on the reels so that they are displayed on the effective line L1 when the stop buttons are operated to stop.

  And in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, each process is performed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the winning combination determination result, for example, when a small combination wins, a process for determining the number of medals to be paid out to the payout control means 150 is performed, and when a replay wins. Causes the replay processing means 160 to execute processing without consuming medals in the next game, and when a bonus is won, processing to shift the gaming state to the gaming state transition control means 170 is performed.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout 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 a medal corresponding to the determined number of payouts is used as a payout device. Control to cause the hopper unit 320 to pay out is performed. In the present embodiment, as described above, the payout of the bell A that is set to a payout number that is larger than the specified number of insertions is set to nine. Further, the payout of the watermelon combination set to the number of payouts larger than the specified number of inserts is set to six. In addition, the payout for Bell B, which is set to the number of payouts equal to the specified number of inserted sheets, is set to three. In addition, among the special small roles 1 to 6, the chance role and the cherry role that are set to be paid out less than the specified number of coins to be paid, all of the special small roles 1 to 6 will be paid out. The dividends for the chance role and the cherry role are set at two.

  The replay processing means 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating the replay winning of any of the plurality of types of replay roles described later is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the winning determination means 140, and when the replay wins, For the next game, a replay process (re-game process) is performed to set the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion that automatically inserts the same number of medals as the previous game without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line L1 as that of the previous game is set.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 includes an RT state transition control process for transitioning between the RT0 state and the RT4 state, a bonus established state transition control process for transitioning to the gaming state corresponding to the current gaming state when CBB is won, and the CBB. And a bonus state transition control process for transitioning from the current gaming state to the bonus state when winning. Here, one condition may be defined as the transition condition for each gaming state, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are set, the game is based on the fact that any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. The state can be shifted to another gaming state.

  FIG. 4A is a state transition diagram showing gaming states that can be transitioned from each gaming state in the RT state transition control processing executed by the gaming state transition control means 170. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing winning modes of replays in each game state including RT1 transition replay to RT4 transition replay, which are replays that trigger a game state transition in each game state. In the following description, the winning combination replay 1 to batting order replay 15, the normal replay, and the RT4 transition replay, which are the winning combinations shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the RT0 state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the RT0 state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT0 state, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 is won and none of the special small combination 1 to the special small combination 6 and the bell A wins, the state shifts to the RT1 state. . In the RT0 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table K, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example, and a condition for transition from the RT2 state to the RT4 state is established by winning a prize. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the RT2 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay, which are replays to be performed, is not set as a lottery target is performed.

  The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state in which a transition can be made from any gaming state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the RT4 state is possible. . Specifically, in the RT1 state, when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the batting order capable of winning the RT2 transition replay, the RT2 state Migrate to In the RT1 state, when the RT4 transition replay is won and the RT4 transition replay is won, the RT4 state is entered. In the RT1 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table K, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6, normal replay, RT4 transition replay, The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table B set as the lottery target is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (A), in the RT1 state, as the replay, the striking order replay 1 to the striking order replay 6, the normal replay, and the RT4 transition replay can be selected.

  In the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6, RT2 transition replay and any one of the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 6 are selected and won. Here, the RT2 transition replay is a winning combination in which, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is selected, regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button. For example, in the case of winning of the batting order replay 1, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1, a prize is won. In addition, the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 6 can be awarded when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in a batting order other than the batting order capable of winning the RT2 transition replay when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won. For example, when the winning combination is the winning order replay 1, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any one of the batting order 2 to the batting order 6, the prize is won.

  In the normal replay, when the normal replay is won, the winning is performed regardless of the order of pressing the stop buttons and the pressing timing. Similarly, the RT4 transition replay is won regardless of the order of hitting the stop buttons and the pressing timing. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the normal replay is configured to be able to win in any gaming state from the RT1 state to the RT4 state. Also, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the RT4 transition replay is configured to be able to win in any gaming state from the RT1 state to the RT3 state.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state that shifts in response to winning the RT2 transition replay in the RT1 state. The transition from the RT2 state to the RT1, RT3, and RT4 states is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, when any one of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the batting order capable of winning the RT3 transition replay, the RT3 When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in a batting order other than the batting order capable of winning the RT3 transition replay, the state transitions to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, when the RT4 transition replay is won and the RT4 transition replay is won, the RT4 state is entered. In the RT2 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table K, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example, batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12, normal replay, RT4 transition replay, The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C set as the lottery target is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (B), in the RT2 state, as the replay, the hitting order replay 7 to the hitting order replay 12, the normal replay, and the RT4 transition replay can be selected.

  In the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12, RT3 transition replay and any one of the RT1 transition replay 1 to RT1 transition replay 6 are selected and won. Here, the RT3 transition replay is a winning combination in which, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed down in an appropriate batting order when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won, regardless of the timing of pressing each stop button. For example, in the case of winning of the batting order replay 7, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1, a prize is won. Also, RT1 transition replay 1 to RT1 transition replay 6 is awarded when stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order other than the batting order that can win RT3 transition replay when winning order batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won. For example, in the case of winning combination of the batting order replay 7, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any batting order of the batting order 2 to the batting order 6, the prize is won.

  The RT3 state is a gaming state that shifts in response to winning the RT3 transition replay in the RT2 state or the RT4 state. The transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state and the RT4 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT3 state, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in an incorrect answering order in which the bell A cannot be won. Transition to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, when the RT4 transition replay is won and the RT4 transition replay is won, the RT4 state is entered.

  Here, in the RT3 state, the assist time state control means 200 (hereinafter referred to as the “AT state” is referred to as the “assist time state”), which will be described later, assists the winning of the bell A by the effect control means 180 from the non-AT state. It is configured to be able to shift to an AT state in which a winning assistance effect that is an effect is executed. For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as long as the AT state continues, when the winning order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6 is won, the correct answer hit order is notified by the winning assisting effect by the effect control means 180, and the bell A wins. Since the RT3 state continues, the AT state ends and the state shifts to the non-AT state, and the correct batting order cannot be determined when the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is elected, it becomes impossible to win the bell A, and from the RT3 state It is configured to shift to the RT1 state.

  In the RT3 state, any one of the small role, replay, and bonus is definitely won from the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table K, and as shown in FIG. And an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table D set as a lottery target.

  The RT4 state is a gaming state that shifts when triggered by winning the RT4 transition replay in any of the RT1 state to the RT3 state. The transition from the RT4 state to the RT1 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT4 state, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in an incorrect answering order in which the bell A cannot be won. Transition to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, when the RT4 transition replay is won and the RT4 transition replay is won, the RT4 state is entered. In the RT4 state, as in the RT3 state, the AT state control means 200 is configured to shift from the non-AT state to the AT state so that the RT4 state does not shift to the RT1 state while the AT state continues. Yes.

  In the RT4 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table K, one of the small role, replay, and bonus is surely won, and as shown in FIG. Then, an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table E in which the normal replay is set as a lottery target is performed.

  In the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15, the RT3 transition replay and any one of the special replay 1 to the special replay 3 are won. Here, the special replay 1 to the special replay 3 are performed regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6. For example, when the winning combination is the winning order of the batting order replay 13, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the batting order 1, the prize is won. The RT3 transition replay can be awarded when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in a batting order other than the batting order in which the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 can be won when the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15 are won. If the winning combination is, for example, when the batting order replay 13 is won, the winning is achieved when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any of the batting orders 3 to 6.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming state is changed between the RT0 state and the RT4 state, thereby realizing different gaming properties in each gaming state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, an RT1 state in which a normal game is executed, an RT2 state in which an expectation can be given to the player in the transition of the game state to the RT3 state, A winning combination, bonus or replay must be won, and when the AT state control means 200 shifts from the non-AT state to the AT state, when the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won, the bell A can be won and a medal can be obtained. Different playability is realized in the RT3 state and the RT4 state that can be performed.

  Here, when the special replay 1 to the special replay 3 wins in the RT4 state, the AT state control means 200 increases (adds) the number of games in which the AT state continues, or the number of times that one AT state is executed. It is comprised so that privileges, such as increasing, may be provided. Further, the AT state control means 200 executes control in the AT state so that the RT4 state can be continued for a preset number of games (for example, 10 games), and until a preset number of games is executed. Notifies the batting order in which the special replay 1 to the special replay 3 can be won at the time of winning the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15 by causing the effect control means 180 to execute an award winning effect, and a game with a preset number of games. Is executed, the RT3 transition replay is won and the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state to the RT3 state by not performing the winning assistance effect during the winning order replay 13 to batting order replay 15 winning. Execute control on. In other words, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to increase the number of games in which the AT state continues when the state transitions to the RT4 state, and the expected value of the medal acquisition rate by transitioning to the RT4 state. Is configured to be high.

  Note that the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that when the CBB is won in the RT0 state to the RT4 state, the winning probability of replay does not change when the CBB is won. In addition, when the CBB wins, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus state, and when medals exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 14) are paid out, The bonus state is terminated, and the gaming state is shifted to the gaming state before the transition to the bonus state. For example, when the CBB wins in the RT1 state, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state to the RT1 state after the bonus state ends.

  The effect control means 180 is based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195. Take control. Specifically, when the player operates the respective components of the slot machine 1 for the operation of the medal insertion, the single bet button BT, the maximum bet button MB, the start lever SL, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, or the like When a game event such as a state change occurs, the first reel is turned on or blinking, the display content of the display device 330 is changed, the sound is output from the speaker, and the start signal is output from the start switch 230. By performing an effect using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that delays the start of rotation of the R1 to the third reel R3, an effect for exciting the game or an execution control for assisting the game is performed. .

  Further, the effect control means 180 causes each component constituting the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the production control unit 180 acquires a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation unit 110 for each lottery process using a random number, and a plurality of production lotteries stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196. Each lottery process is executed using an effect lottery table necessary for each lottery process.

  The AT state control means 200 is between the assist time state (AT state) in which the winning assist control for assisting the winning of the winning combination is executed and the non-assist time state (non-AT state) in which the winning assist control is not executed. The control related to the transition is executed. In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 performs winning assistance control for displaying the correct batting order on the game information display unit DS when winning the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 among a plurality of types in the AT state. For example, the effect control means 180 causes the effect control means 180 to perform a winning assistance effect informing the correct hitting order by the effecting device 300 such as an effect of displaying the correct answering order on the display device 330.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the AT state control means 200 sets the normal non-assist time state (normal non-AT state) as the first non-assist time state and the second non-assist time state as the non-AT state. The chance zone state (CZ state). Further, the AT state control means 200 sets the AT state as a normal assist time state (normal AT state) as a first assist time state, an added special state as a second assist time state, and a third assist time state. An additional chance zone lottery state (additional CZ lottery state) and an additional chance zone state (additional CZ state) as the fourth assist time state.

  The normal non-AT state is a non-AT state where the winning assist control is not executed and is a state executed when not in the CZ state, and is a state that continues until a transition is made to another state. In the normal non-AT state, the AT state control means 200 determines a predetermined lottery condition such as when a predetermined predetermined winning combination is won or when a predetermined number of games are executed. When the above is established, the CZ lottery for determining whether to shift to the CZ state by lottery is executed. In the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment, the CZ lottery is executed when a chance combination is won by an internal lottery as a predetermined lottery condition. Further, in the normal non-AT state, the AT state control means 200 has a specific winning combination different from a predetermined winning combination (in this embodiment, a chance combination) (for example, in the internal lottery, the winning probability is lower than other winning combinations) When a winning combination such as a cherry role or a watermelon role is won, an AT lottery is executed in which whether or not to shift to the specialized state of the AT state is determined by lottery. In the present embodiment, the AT state control unit 200 may change from the non-AT state to the AT state when a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000 games) are executed without shifting from the non-AT state to the AT state. You may be comprised so that it may transfer to a state.

  The CZ state is a state that shifts when the CZ lottery is won in the normal non-AT state, and has a higher probability of shifting to the AT state than the normal non-AT state. In the CZ state, the AT state control means 200 sets a value (for example, 10 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in a CZ end determination counter (not shown) of the storage means 190 at the start of the CZ state, Until the game is executed, it is configured to execute an AT lottery for lottery of whether or not to shift to the specialization state in the AT state for each game, and a cherry winning combination or watermelon having a low winning probability is configured. It is in a state where it is easier to shift to the AT state than the normal non-AT state in which the AT lottery is executed only when the winning combination is won.

  The AT state is a state that is started when the AT state shift is performed in the normal non-AT state and the CZ state, and when the AT state shift is won, the state is started by shifting to the specialization state. In the AT state, as described above, the AT state control means 200 executes the winning assist control for displaying the correct batting order on the game information display section DS when winning the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 among a plurality of types of roles, The effect control means 180 is caused to execute a winning assist effect in which the effect device 300 informs the correct hitting order. For this reason, the AT state makes it easy for the player to win medals, and is advantageous for the player regarding the payout of medals.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200, as the AT state, specializes in the normal AT state, an added special state in which the period for executing the AT state is easier to extend than the normal AT state, and an additional special state than the normal AT state. An extra CZ state with a high probability of transition to the state, and an extra CZ stock lottery and an extra CZ stock lottery as an extra chance zone lottery (additional CZ lottery, third assist time lottery) to determine whether or not to execute the extra CZ state The added CZ lottery state in which an added chance zone start process (added CZ start process, third assist time start process) that starts the added CZ state determined to be executed in step S3 can be executed.

  The AT state control unit 200 executes control processing in each state constituting the AT state using each data stored in the AT state control data storage unit 197 of the storage unit 190. Specifically, the AT state control unit 200 compares with the random number acquired from the random number generation unit 110 in the addition CZ lottery that determines whether or not the addition CZ state is stocked, for example, in the case of the addition CZ lottery state. An additional CZ lottery table, which is a lottery table for performing the acquisition, is acquired from the AT state control data storage unit 197 and the additional CZ lottery is executed. The AT state control data storage unit 197 stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state when the AT state control unit 200 executes the control process in each state constituting the AT state.

  Here, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to shift to the AT state, the AT state starts so that the gaming state controlled by the gaming state transition control unit 170 shifts to the RT3 state or the RT4 state. It is configured. As described above, in the RT3 state and the RT4 state, a small role, a replay, or a bonus is always won, and a replay winning probability is set higher than in other game states. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a so-called assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as “ART”) game that is executed in a state where a game in the AT state wins a replay with a higher probability than other game states. It has become.

  The detailed description of each state constituting the AT state is described below. The specialization state for addition is the condition when the AT lottery is won in the normal non-AT state or the CZ state, and the condition for shifting to the specialization state set in advance in the normal AT state (hereinafter referred to as “additional special state transition condition”). Described) and when the specialization state transition is selected in the extra special state transition lottery for determining whether or not to transit to the specialization state executed in the extra CZ state. It is in a state of transition. In the added special state, the AT state control unit 200 sets a value (for example, four games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the added special state end determination counter 198b at the start of the added special state. As a result, the game is continued while the game of 4 games is executed, and the addition process, which is the process of setting the extension of the period during which the AT state is executed, is executed by adding the number of games in which the normal AT state is executed. An extra state having a higher probability than the normal AT state is executed, and a loop lottery that is a lottery for determining whether to continue the extra special state at the end of the extra state is executed. In the following description, the process of adding the number of games and extending the period during which the AT state is executed is also referred to as “addition”.

  The AT state control means 200, in the specialization state of addition, adds a first addition state to a ninth addition state that are a plurality of addition states that are different in the addition conditions that are conditions for setting the extension of the period of the normal AT state in each addition process. Configured to execute any of the states. Further, the AT state control unit 200 causes the effect control unit 180 to execute an added state suggestion effect that is an effect suggesting which of the first added state to the ninth added state is being executed. In the added state suggestion effect, for example, when the added state executed by the AT state control unit 200 is the first added state, the effect control unit 180 displays the character A on the display device 330 while the first added state continues. When the added state executed by the AT state control means 200 is the second added state, the effect that the character B is displayed on the display device 330 is executed while the second added state continues.

  FIG. 6 shows an increase condition of the first added state to the ninth added state, and a loop rate that is a probability that it is determined that the added specialized state is continued in the loop drawing of the added specialized state when each added state is executed. FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, among the first added state to the ninth added state, the first added state to the third added state and the fifth added state to the seventh added state have different specifications for the added condition. Yes.

  Specifically, the first added state is the number of games that are added at the time of winning the bell role (hereinafter referred to as “the number of added games”) and the probability of adding the number of games (hereinafter referred to as “the number of added games”). The additional conditions are configured so as to increase, and the second additional state is such that the number of additional games and the probability of adding are higher when the replay role is won than when the other role is won. Is added, the additional condition is configured so that the number of added games and the probability of adding are higher when the winning of the cherry role is won than when the other role is won, and the fifth added state is the winning of the watermelon role In some cases, additional conditions are configured so that the number of additional games and the probability of adding are higher than when other roles are won, and the sixth additional state is the number of additional games and higher than when other roles are won. Squared Probability is configuration plus conditions such increases, seventh plus state, plus conditions so that plus the number of games and plus probability than at the time of winning the other role at the time of winning the CBB increases are configured. The winning combination set in such a manner that the number of added games and the additional probability are higher than the other winning combinations such as the bell role in the first added state and the replay role in the second added state is the preferential treatment in this embodiment. Composing a role.

  In addition, the fourth added state is a specification having an added condition in which the added conditions of the first added state to the third added state are combined, and the bell role, the replay role, and the cherry role are added preferential roles. Yes. The 8th added state is a specification having an added condition in which the added conditions of the 5th added state to the 7th added state are combined, and a watermelon role, a chance role and a CBB are added and preferential. . In addition, the 9th added state is a specification having an added condition in which the added conditions of the 1st added state to the 3rd added state and the 5th added state to the 7th added state are combined, and all the roles are added. It is a preferential role.

  For this reason, the AT state control means 200 has different game play characteristics that are different in the added preferential role as the additional condition depending on the added state executed in the added special state and have a difference in the number of added games that is a benefit brought about by the result of the internal lottery. It is configured to be able to provide.

  The AT state control means 200 is a character that differs depending on each added state as an added state suggesting effect to be executed by the effect control means 180 during execution of the first added state to the third added state and the fifth added state to the seventh added state. In the first added state to the third added state, an effect of displaying the characters A to C on the display device 330 and in the fifth added state to the seventh added state is executed. In addition, the AT state control unit 200 executes the effect of displaying the characters A to C on the display device 330 as the added state suggestion effect to be executed by the effect control unit 180 when the fourth added state is executed, and the eighth added state. In the added state suggestion effect at the time of execution of the state, an effect of displaying the characters D to F on the display device 330 is executed, and in the added state suggestion effect at the time of execution of the ninth added state, the characters A to F are displayed. The effect displayed on 330 is executed.

  That is, the AT state control means 200 of this embodiment, when executing the added state in which the added conditions are combined, the added state suggesting effect combined with the contents of the added state suggested effects executed in each added state. In order to be executed by 180, the game is executed at the time of execution of the fourth added state, the eighth added state, and the ninth added state, which are more advantageous to the player than the first added state to the third added state, and the fifth added state to the seventh added state. An effect emphasizing that the player is in an advantageous state is executed, and the interest in the player's effect can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the AT state control unit 200 is configured to first shift to the specialization state when shifting from the non-AT state to the AT state. The AT state control means 200 is configured to increase the number of games in which the normal AT state continues by executing the addition process in the additional special state. That is, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment determines the number of games that the normal AT state continues in the added special state that is executed when the non-AT state shifts to the AT state. It is configured to be able to cause a change in the number of games in which the initially set AT state continues when the state shifts to the AT state every time the state shifts to the AT state.

  The added CZ lottery state is a state in which the added special state ends and the additional CZ state ends. In the added CZ lottery state, the AT state control unit 200 sets a value (for example, 20 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the lottery state end determination counter 198e of the number storage unit 198 at the start of the added CZ lottery state. Thus, an additional CZ stock lottery that is a lottery for determining whether or not to execute an additional CZ state that is continued until the game of 20 games is executed and has a higher probability of shifting to the additional CZ state than the normal AT state, The addition CZ start process, which is a process for starting the addition CZ state determined to be executed in the addition CZ stock lottery, can be executed.

  In addition, in the added CZ lottery state, the AT state control means 200 stores the number of added CZ states determined to be executed in the added CZ stock lottery in the added CZ stock counter 198g. Further, the AT state control means 200 is configured to execute an extra CZ start process after a game of 20 games is executed in the extra CZ lottery state when it is determined to shift to the extra CZ state in the extra CZ stock lottery. Yes. Then, the AT state control means 200 determines, for example, that the added CZ state is executed in the added CZ stock lottery, and the added CZ executed until the added CZ start process for starting the determined added CZ state is executed. In the stock lottery, when it is determined to execute the additional CZ state, the number of unexecuted times that is the number of additional CZ states that have not yet been executed because the additional CZ start process has not been executed is additionally stored in the CZ stock counter 198g. . In the following description, the number of unexecuted times of the added CZ state stored in the added CZ stock counter 198g is also referred to as the number of stocks. Further, the extra CZ stock counter 198g constitutes extra chance zone state execution count storage means (additional CZ state execution count storage means, third assist time state execution count storage means) in the present embodiment.

  Then, when the AT state control means 200 executes the added CZ lottery state without shifting to the normal AT state after executing the previous added CZ lottery state, the AT state control means 200 executed in the previous added CZ lottery state. In relation to the contents of the effect, a process is executed to cause the effect control means 180 to control the effect device 300 to execute a lottery state effect that is an effect having continuity in the content of the effect. As the contents of the effect executed in the lottery state effect, for example, the content of the effect that the character A practices in the first extra CZ lottery state, and the character A practices with the character B in the second extra CZ lottery state. The content of the production such as performing, the content of the production such that the character A and the character B compete together in the third addition CZ lottery state, and the lottery state production has continuity in the content of the production in the series It has become a story with a story. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery state effect is an effect having the contents of 13 types of effects, and the number of times that the added CZ lottery state is executed without shifting to the normal AT state is the 13th time. In addition, a lottery state effect is executed with a content that ends the series of stories.

  The effect control means 180 stores the lottery state effect counter 198f, which is a counter for managing the contents of the effect of the lottery state effect, in order to execute the lottery state effect corresponding to the added CZ lottery state executed by the AT state control means 200. With reference to the stored value, the lottery state effect corresponding to the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is executed. Specifically, the AT state control means 200 changes the added CZ lottery state shifted from the normal non-AT state, the CZ state, or the added special state shifted from the normal AT state to the first added CZ lottery state, and the first added value is added. When the CZ lottery state is executed, the effect control unit 180 refers to the value “1” stored in the lottery state effect counter 198f and executes the lottery state effect of the contents of the first effect described above. Further, the AT state control means 200 makes a transition to the added CZ lottery state from either the added CZ state shifted from the added CZ lottery state or the added specialized state shifted from the added CZ state. When the added CZ lottery state is executed, the effect control means 180 refers to the value “2” stored in the lottery state effect counter 198f, and executes the lottery state effect of the contents of the second effect described above.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is added to the effect control device 180 to cause the effect device 300 to execute the lottery state effect having continuity in the contents of the effect during the added CZ lottery state executed a plurality of times. The content of the performance when the CZ lottery state is executed a plurality of times in a short period of time by the AT state control means 200 can be changed with content having a story property, and the player's interest in the performance can be improved Can do.

  The added CZ state is a state that shifts when the added CZ stock lottery is won at least once in the added CZ lottery state. In the added CZ state, the AT state control unit 200 sets a value (for example, 10 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the added CZ end determination counter 198h at the start of the added CZ state. After the game is executed, an extra special state transition lottery that is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the extra special state is executed. Here, the extra special state transition lottery is a lottery in which the transition to the extra special state is determined with a higher probability than the probability that the extra special state transition condition is satisfied in the normal AT state. For this reason, the added CZ state is a state in which it is easier to shift to the added specialized state than the normal AT state that shifts to the added specialized state only when the added specialized state transition condition is satisfied.

  In addition, when there are a plurality of stocks in the added CZ state at the start of the added CZ state, the AT state control means 200 determines that it will not shift to the added specialized state in the added specialized state transition lottery. The execution of the added CZ state stocked from the game is started. For this reason, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the probability of shifting to the added special state increases as the number of stocks in the added CZ state increases in the added CZ stock lottery in the added CZ lottery state.

  Then, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means so that the effect device 300 executes a continuation effect that is an effect having continuity in the content of the effect over a plurality of times of the added CZ state during execution of the additional CZ state. The processing to be controlled by 180 is executed. The content of the effect executed in the continuous effect is, for example, the content of the effect that the character A and the character B confront each other in the first addition CZ state and the character A wins, and the character A in the second addition CZ state. The content of the production, such as practicing in response to the result of defeat, the content of the production such that character A and character B confront again in the third addition CZ state, and character A wins. In a series of performances, the content of the production has continuity, making it a story-like production.

  The effect control means 180 is stored in a continuation effect counter 198i, which is a counter that manages the contents of the effect of the continuation effect, in order to execute the continuation effect corresponding to the added CZ state executed by the AT state control means 200. With reference to the value, the continuous effect corresponding to the stored value of the continuous effect counter 198i is executed. Specifically, when the AT state control unit 200 shifts from the added CZ lottery state to the added CZ state and executes the first added CZ state, the effect control unit 180 stores the value stored in the continuous effect counter 198i. With reference to “1”, the continuation effect of the content of the first effect described above is executed. Further, when executing the second addition CZ state by executing the added CZ state stocked by the AT state control means 200, the effect control means 180 sets the value “2” stored in the continuous effect counter 198i. Referring to and executing the above-described continuous effect of the content of the second effect.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the added number CZ stock counter 198g stores the number of stocks in the number storage means 198, and the AT state control means 200 stores the stock after the addition of one time in the CZ state. Executed multiple times when the additional CZ state is continuously executed a plurality of times without shifting from the additional CZ state to the additional specialized state, the normal AT state, or the additional CZ lottery state by starting the additional CZ state. In order for the effect control means 180 to cause the effect control device 180 to execute the effect of continuity in the contents of the effect in the added CZ state, the number of stocks stored in the added CZ stock counter 198g, that is, the added CZ state is the AT state. The number of times of continuous execution by the control means 200 can be associated with the contents of the production, It is possible to impart to the player by directing expectations for migrating to, it is possible to improve the player's interest for the effect.

  In addition, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment adds the extra time based on the fact that the special period state that is advantageous to the player for the payout of medals is executed by setting the extension of the period during which the normal AT state continues. Transition to the added CZ lottery state, in which the probability of transition to the specialized state is higher than that of the normal AT state, and the execution of the added CZ state can be determined. In the added CZ state, the added CZ stock counter 198g is not added Since the CZ state can be executed multiple times by storing the number of times of the CZ state, even after the specialization state of addition is completed, the transition from the addition CZ lottery state to the addition CZ state can be performed, so that the addition special state is achieved. Can give players a sense of expectation of being able to transition again and can result from the end of the specialization state The player's expectation can be prevented from being lowered, and the player's expectation that is increased by executing an added special state that is advantageous to the player for the payout of medals is added to the CZ lottery state or the added CZ state. Can be maintained even during execution.

  Further, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment shifts from the added special state to the added CZ lottery state, shifts from the added CZ lottery state to the added CZ state, and shifts from the added CZ state to the added specialized state. In this configuration, the state can be looped between the added special state, the added CZ lottery state, and the added CZ state. For this reason, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a feeling of loss that the player has for each state being ended by starting another advantageous state after the end of the state advantageous for one player. Can be wiped out, and the player's expectations that have been increased can be maintained in a high state.

  In addition, since the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured so that the state can be looped between the added CZ lottery state and the added CZ state, it is decided not to shift to the added special state in the added CZ state. Even in such a case, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation to shift to the added special state by shifting to the added CZ lottery state with a high probability of shifting to the added CZ state again.

  It should be noted that the AT state control means 200 is configured to be able to win not only the transition to the additional special state but also the extra number of games in the normal AT state in the additional special state transition lottery. When the number of games in the normal AT state is won, the AT state control unit 200 adds the number of games determined to be added to the addition game number counter 198c of the storage unit 198. Here, if the added CZ state is stocked, the AT state control means 200 executes the stocked CZ state, and if the added CZ state is not stocked, the AT state control means 200 normally starts from the added CZ state. Transition state to AT state.

  In the normal AT state, in the added CZ lottery state, the added CZ stock lottery does not win the execution of the added CZ state. This is a state in which the CZ state is not stocked and the game is shifted to the case where the player is elected to add the number of games in the normal AT state. In the normal AT state, the AT state control means 200 adds the number of additional games 198 in the added special state or the added CZ state executed between the transition to the AT state and the transition to the normal AT state. The value set in the counter 198c is set in the AT end determination counter 198a of the number storage means 198 as the number of games in which the normal AT state continues. Then, the AT state control means 200 subtracts a value stored in the AT end determination counter 198a for each game (hereinafter, a value stored in each counter is also referred to as “stored value”), and the AT end determination counter 198a. When the stored value becomes 0, the AT state is terminated by shifting from the normal AT state to the normal non-AT state.

  The AT state control means 200 is configured to increase the number of games in which the normal AT state is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the normal AT state, for example, when a cherry role is won. In addition, the frequency of executing the addition of the number of games is lower than the above-described specialization state. Further, the AT state control means 200 shifts from the normal AT state to the additional special state when a predetermined additional special state transition condition is established, for example, when a watermelon combination is won by internal lottery.

  It should be noted that the AT state control means 200 can execute the addition process in each game by executing any one of the first added state to the ninth added state in the game in the added special state. Therefore, the probability of setting the extension of the period during which the AT state is executed is higher than that in the normal AT state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The AT state control means 200, for example, in the added special state, the winning combination that is the same as the winning combination that triggers the execution of the additional process in the normal AT state is set as an additional preferential combination, and when the other combination is selected, the additional process is performed. If the additional state set to not execute is enabled, and if an additional preferential role is won at the time of execution of the additional state, the number of games added is higher than the number of additional games added in the additional processing in the normal AT state. It may be configured to.

2. Control Process in AT State Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, among the control processes in the AT state executed by the AT state control unit 200, Details of each control process executed in the added CZ lottery state and the added CZ state will be described. In the present embodiment, the extra special state process, the extra CZ lottery state process, and the extra CZ state process described below are performed by the reel control unit 130 after the internal lottery unit 120 performs the control process related to the internal lottery. The control process is executed by the AT state control means 200 until the acceleration of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is completed. For example, the first reel R1 to the third reel that have started to rotate are stopped, After the winning determination by the winning determination means 140 is executed, at least one process of the added special state process, the added CZ lottery state process, and the added CZ state process may be executed. In addition, as described above, the AT state control means 200 indicates the correct batting order in which the bell A can be won in the game information display unit when winning one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 in the internal lottery in the game in the AT state While performing the winning assist control displayed on the DS, the effect controlling means 180 is configured to cause the effect controlling means 180 to perform a winning assist effect informing the correct hitting order by the effect device 300. Therefore, the AT state control means 200 is omitted from FIGS. 7, 8, and 10 to 12, but any one of the additional special state process, the additional CZ lottery state process, and the additional CZ state process Even during the execution of the process, when the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 are won in the internal lottery, the winning assist control displayed on the game information display section DS is executed, and the effect device 300 notifies the correct batting order. The effect control means 180 is made to perform an auxiliary effect.

<Additional special processing>
FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are flowcharts showing each control process executed by the AT state control means 200 in the added special state in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  First, the AT state control means 200 is a flag that is set to the ON state when the additional special state is started, and is the table selected flag stored in the AT state control data storage means 197 ON? It is determined whether or not (S1). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the table selected flag is ON, so that the current game is the first game that has shifted from another state to the specialized state. It is determined whether or not.

  If it is determined in the process of step S1 that the table selected flag is OFF (NO), the AT state control means 200 is the first game in which the current game is shifted from another state to the specialized state. And the process related to the initial setting in the added special state to be executed is started. First, the AT state control means 200 executes a predetermined number of games (four games in the present embodiment) at the start of the additional special state and when it is determined to continue the additional special state in the loop lottery. The addition state selection table lottery for determining the addition state selection table, which is a table listing whether the addition state to be executed from the first addition state to the ninth addition state, is executed (S2). ). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 adds an additional state selection table lottery table (one of the additional state selection table A to the additional state selection table I to each of a plurality of random numbers from the storage unit 190). (Not shown). Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the added state selection table lottery table stored in the storage unit 190, and adds the added state selection table based on the comparison result. It is determined that any one of A to the added state selection table I is used in the subsequent added specialized state process.

  9 (A) and 9 (B) show that in each added state selection table, the number of times of winning the added specialized state at the start of the added specialized state and the continuation of the added specialized state in the loop lottery is 1 to 6 times, 7 times. It is a figure which shows the addition state which AT state control means 200 performs in the case of after. In the following description, the number of times of winning the continuation of the specialization state in the loop lottery is also referred to as “loop number”, and the specialization state when the loop number is nth is also referred to as “loop nth”. In addition, “at the start” described in FIG. 9A indicates the start of the specialization state of addition, that is, the execution time of the specialization state of addition that was started by shifting from another state. This corresponds to the 0th loop.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when the AT state control means 200 decides to use any one of the added state selection table A to the added state selection table D in the added state selection table lottery, the additional state selection table is added. At the start of the specialized state, in the first loop and the second loop, the first added state to the third added state in which one of the characters A to C is displayed on the display device 330 as the added state suggesting effect, respectively. Execute one of the added states. In addition, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to use any one of the added state selection table E to the added state selection table H in the added state selection table lottery, the AT state control unit 200 executes a loop at the start of the added special state. In the first time and the second loop, any one of the fifth added state to the seventh added state, which is an added state in which one of the characters D to F is displayed on the display device 330, is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when the AT state control means 200 determines to use any one of the added state selection table A to the added state selection table H, the AT state control means 200 Different addition states are executed for the first time and the second time of the loop. As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C and FIGS. 6E to 6G, the first added state to the third added state and the fifth added state to the seventh added state are added preferential treatment. The additional conditions such as the roles are configured to be different.

  In other words, when the AT state control unit 200 of this embodiment determines to continue the additional special state in the loop lottery in the additional special state, the AT state control unit 200 determines execution of the additional state that is different from the additional state that has been executed. For example, when it is determined that the additional special state is started using the additional state selection table A and the additional special state is continued in the loop lottery, the additional state selection table A is referred to. Thus, the second addition state, which is different from the first addition state that has been executed, is determined to be executed in the first addition state of the loop.

  With this configuration, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the added special state continues and a plurality of added states are executed, a plurality of added states with different added conditions are executed. By changing the condition when setting the extension of the period in the extra process according to the state, the gameability changes depending on the extra state to be executed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in the extra special state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to use any one of the added state selection table A to the added state selection table D, the AT state control unit 200 executes the third loop in the added special state. A fourth added state (see FIG. 6D), which is an added state in which the added conditions of the first added state to the third added state are combined, is executed. Further, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to use any one of the added state selection table E to the added state selection table H, each of the fifth added state to the seventh added state in the third loop of the added special state. An eighth addition state (see FIG. 6H), which is an addition state in which the addition conditions are combined, is executed. When the AT state control means 200 decides to use the added state selection table I, the AT added state to the third added state and the fifth added state to the seventh added state for the third time in the added special state loop. The 9th addition state (refer to Drawing 6 (I)) which is the addition state which compounded each addition condition is performed.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) to 6 (C), (E) to (I) and FIG. 9 (B), the AT state control means 200 may be any of the added state selection table A to the added state selection table I. Even if it is decided to use, any one of the fifth added state to the ninth added state in which the added state executed after the fourth loop is higher than the first added state to the third added state is expected to be higher The added state is configured to be executed.

  With this configuration, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment allows the AT state to be continued in the addition process by combining a plurality of addition conditions when it is determined that the specialization state is added three times as a predetermined number of times. When the extension of the period is set, the 4th added state, the 8th added state, or the 9th added state, which is an added state that can execute an additional process that is advantageous to the player, is executed, and at least four times of the specialized state When the continuation is determined, the addition specialization is performed in order to execute any one of the fifth addition state to the ninth addition state in which the addition process which is more advantageous for the player than the first addition state to the third addition state can be executed. As the state continues, the player's expectation improves, and the added state to be executed changes, so that the interest in the continued specialization state can be reduced. It is possible to improve the interest in the game in no plus specialized state.

  In addition, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to use the additional state selection table E to the additional state selection table H, the start of the additional special state to the second loop, the fourth loop to the sixth loop, , Any one of the fifth added state to the seventh added state is executed as an added state in which the added conditions are not combined, and the first added state to the third added state are not executed. As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C and FIGS. 6E to 6G, in the fifth added state to the seventh added state, the addition process is executed more than in the first added state to the third added state. The degree of expectation (hereinafter also referred to as “expected expectation degree”) is high.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to use the added state selection table I as the added state selection table, at the start of the added special state ~ loop 2 In the first time, the seventh added state in which the loop rate is set to 100% is executed, and in the third and subsequent loops, the highest expectation to execute the added process from the first added state to the ninth added state is the highest. 9 is configured to execute the added state. That is, when it is determined that the added state selection table I is used as the added state selection table, the AT state control unit 200 executes the added special state having the highest expected degree of addition.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is not only different in the added state executed at the start of the added special state and in the loop, depending on the added state selection table determined in the added state selection table lottery. The continuation of the specialization state is determined by, and when the addition state is started with an addition condition that is different from the addition state that has been executed, the addition expectation degree in each addition state is configured and executed. Due to the added state and the added state suggestion effect corresponding to the added state to be executed, a change occurs in the expectation level of the player in the added special state, thereby improving the interest of the game in the added special state of the player be able to. Further, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the continuation of the specialization state is determined by the loop lottery according to the additional state selection table determined by the additional state selection table lottery, the added state and the additional condition that have been executed Are also configured to be able to start the same added state.

  After executing the process of step S2, the AT state control unit 200 stores the added state selection table determined by the added state selection table lottery in the AT state control data storage unit 197 (S3). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 refers to the additional state selection table stored in the AT state control data storage unit 197 until it shifts from the additional special state to the additional CZ lottery state. Even when it is determined that the added special state is to be continued, it is possible to determine the added state for starting execution.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 sets the table selected flag to ON (S4). In this process, the AT state control means 200 is a process related to the initial setting of the additional special state shown in steps S2 to S7 until the next game is shifted from the additional special state to the additional CZ lottery state. Is set to ON, the table selection flag is set to ON.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 compares the added state selection table with the number of loops, and determines the added state to be executed (S5). In this process, the AT state control means 200 compares the added state selection table stored in step S3 with the number of loops in the added special state stored in the loop number counter 198d, and executes the added state. To decide. Here, at the time of executing the process of step S4, the stored value of the loop number counter 198d is the value “0” because it is the start of the additional specialization state. For this reason, the AT state control means 200 executes the added state associated with the number of loops 0 times, that is, at the start of the added special state, in each added state selection table shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B. decide. The loop number counter 198d for storing the number of loops in the added special state constitutes the loop number storage means in this embodiment.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means 180 to execute an added state suggestion effect corresponding to the added state to be executed (S6). In this process, for example, when the AT state control unit 200 determines that the first added state is executed as the added state in step S5, the AT state control unit 200 displays an added state suggestion effect for displaying the character A on the display device 330. And instruct the player that the first added state is executed in the next and subsequent games.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 sets a value “4”, which is the number of games to execute the added special state, in the added special state end determination counter 198b of the number storage means 198 (S7), and adds specialization. The process related to the initial setting of the state process is finished, and the specialization state process for the addition is finished. By this process, the AT state control means 200 can execute the specialization state for the extra game during the four games from the next game.

  The above is the process related to the initial setting of the specialization state process for addition. Next, various processes executed by the AT state control means 200 in the game in the added special state will be described. If it is determined in the process of step S1 that the table selected flag is ON (YES), the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the added special state end determination counter 198b is 0. (S8). In this process, when it is determined that the stored value of the added special state end determination counter 198b is 0 (YES), the AT state control means 200 determines to continue the additional special state in the loop lottery in the previous game. In order to execute the specialization state for four games from the current game, the value “4”, which is the number of games to execute the specialization state, is set in the specialization state end determination counter 198b. S9).

  Next, the AT state control means 200 compares the added state selection table with the number of loops, and determines the added state to be executed (S10). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 executes a process substantially similar to the process of step S5. Specifically, when the stored value of the loop number counter 198d is “2” and the added state selection table A is stored in the AT state control data storage unit 197 as the added state selection table, the AT state control unit 200 The execution of the third added state associated with the second loop in the added state selection table A is determined.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means 180 to execute an added state suggestion effect corresponding to the added state to be executed (S11). In this process, the AT state control means 200 executes a process substantially similar to the process in step S6. The AT state control means 200 displays the character corresponding to the added state determined to be executed in the process of step S5 when the process of step S6 is executed, and the added special state between the four games from the next game. However, at the time of executing the process of step S11, the character corresponding to the added state determined to be executed in the process of step S10 is displayed, and the added special state between the four games is started from the current game. .

  If it is determined that the stored value of the added special state end determination counter 198b is not 0 after executing the process of step S11 or in the process of step S8 (NO), the AT state control means 200 is won by the internal lottery. It is determined whether or not the combination is an additional preferential combination in the added state during execution (S12). In this process, for example, if the AT state control means 200 is executing the first added state, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), has it won the winning combination of the bell in the first added state? Determine whether or not.

  If it is determined in the process of step S12 that the winning combination is an additional preferential role (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds the number of additional games at the time of winning the additional preferential role to the number storage means 198, an additional game number counter. Add to 198c (S13). In this process, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) to (I), the AT state control means 200 has an additional probability of 100% when the additional preferential role is won. The number is added and added to the game number counter 198c. Specifically, when the bell role is won while the first additional state is being executed, the AT state control means 200 adds the value “20”, which is the number of additional games, to the additional game as shown in FIG. Add to the number counter 198c.

  If it is determined in the process of step S12 that the winning combination is not an additional preferential combination (NO), the AT state control means 200 executes an additional lottery that determines whether or not to perform the additional process (S14). . In this process, the AT state control unit 200 determines whether to execute an addition process for each of a plurality of random numbers from the AT state control data storage unit 197 of the storage unit 190, and “losing the game” An additional lottery table (not shown) associated with any of “)” is acquired. Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with an addition lottery table stored in the AT state control data storage unit 197, and performs an addition process based on the comparison result. Decide whether to execute. Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) to 6 (H), the additional probability at the time of winning a role other than the additional preferential role in the added state during execution is set lower than that at the time of winning the additional preferential role. .

  Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the game number is won in the process of step S14 (S15). In this process, if it is determined that the number of games added is won (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds the number of added games at the time of the addition lottery to the added number of games counter 198c (S16). ). In this processing, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6H, the AT state control means 200 adds the number of added games to the added game number counter 198c when winning a role other than the added preferential treatment. Specifically, when the first bonus state is being executed and a role other than the bell role such as the replay role is won, and when the bonus number is won in the extra lottery, the AT state control means 200 displays FIG. 6 (A). As shown in FIG. 5, the value “5”, which is the number of added games, is added to the added game number counter 198c. Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) to 6 (H), the number of additional games when the additional processing is executed when a role other than the additional preferential role in the added state in execution is selected. It is set lower than the hour.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is added by the execution frequency of the addition process or the addition process depending on whether or not the addition preferential role set in the addition state during execution is won in the addition special state. The number of games to be played is different, and the gameability in the added special state changes depending on the added condition set in the added state in which it is executed. Even when the added special state continues several times, it is possible to provide different game characteristics to the player and improve the interest in the game in the player specialized state.

  If it is determined that the number of games has not been won after the processing of step S13 and step S16 or in the processing of step S15 (NO), the AT state control means 200 performs one time in the additional special state. Since the game has been executed, a value “1”, which is a value corresponding to one game, is subtracted from the stored value of the added special state end determination counter 198b (S17). Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the added special state end determination counter 198b is 0 (S18). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not four games have been executed in the additional special state, and determines that the stored value of the additional special state end determination counter 198b is not zero. (NO), because the game has not been executed four times in the specialization state, the specialization state process is completed without executing the loop lottery for determining whether or not to continue the specialization state. To do.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the stored value of the added special state end determination counter 198b is 0 (YES), the AT state control means 200 has executed four games in the added special state. It is determined whether or not to continue the additional specialization state, and processing for determining whether or not to shift the state is started. First, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means 180 to execute an added game number display effect which is an effect of displaying the added game number determined to be added in the current added state (S19). In this process, the AT state control means 200 refers to the storage value of the added game number counter 198c that stores the added game number added by the added process executed in the current added state, and causes the effect control means 180 to refer to the added game number. The display control unit 180 is caused to execute the display effect.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 executes a loop lottery for determining whether or not to continue the added special state (S20). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines “continuation of the specialization state for the addition” and “continuation of the specialization state for specialization” for each of a plurality of random numbers from the AT state control data storage means 197 of the storage means 190. A loop lottery table (not shown) associated with any of “losing (non-winning)” is acquired. Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with a loop lottery table stored in the AT state control data storage unit 197, and adds and specializes based on the comparison result. Decide whether to continue the state. Here, the loop probability, which is the probability of determining whether or not to continue the added special state in the added state during execution, is set to the probabilities shown in FIGS.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the additional special state continuation is won in the process of step S20 (S21). In this process, if it is determined that the specialization state continuation is won (YES), the AT state control unit 200 loops the loop number counter 198d of the number storage unit 198 that stores the number of loops in the specialization state. A value “1” corresponding to the number of times is added (S22), and the specialization state process is completed. In this process, since the AT state control means 200 has decided to continue the specialization state with the loop lottery, it adds the stored value of the loop counter 198d and performs the specialization state process without changing the state. finish. Thereby, in the next game, the AT state control means 200 starts the process from the process of step S1, and executes the process in the order of step S1, step S8 to step S11, and adds a new addition at the start of the next game. The state can be started.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S21 that the additional special state continuation has not been won (NO), the AT state control means 200 shifts to the additional CZ lottery state (S23), and the additional special state process Exit. In this process, the AT state control means 200 has determined that the specialization state will not be continued in the loop lottery. Therefore, the CZ lottery state is added from the next game by adding the state and shifting from the specialization state to the CZ lottery state. The game in the lottery state can be started. At the time of executing the process of step S23, the AT state control means 200 also executes a process of turning off the table selected flag and initializing the stored value of the loop number counter 198d to 0.

<Additional CZ lottery status process>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing each control process executed by the AT state control means 200 in the added CZ lottery state in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  First, the AT state control unit 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198e of the number storage unit 198 is 0 (S31). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the lottery state end determination counter 198e for counting the number of games executed in the extra CZ lottery state is 0, so that the current game is added to the current state. It is determined whether or not it is the first game in the CZ lottery state.

  In the process of step S31, when it is determined that the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198e is 0 (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds the CZ lottery state for 20 games from the current game. In order to do this, the value “20”, which is the number of games for executing the CZ lottery state, is added to the lottery state end determination counter 198e (S32). Next, the AT state control unit 200 adds 1 to the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f of the number storage unit 198 (S33). Next, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means 180 to execute the lottery state effect corresponding to the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f (S34).

  Here, when the AT state control means 200 executes the process of step S33, the normal non-AT state, the CZ state, or the normal AT state shifts to the specialization state, and the game in the specialization state is completed. When the game shifts to the extra CZ lottery state (hereinafter, this case is also referred to as “when adding extra”), and when the game in the extra special state transferred from the extra CZ state ends, and the extra CZ lottery state is entered. Or, when transitioning from the added CZ state to the added CZ lottery state, that is, when looping between the added special state, the added CZ lottery state, and the added CZ state, or between the added CZ lottery state and the added CZ state (Hereinafter referred to as an extra special state, an extra CZ lottery state, and an extra CZ state, and an extra CZ lottery state and an extra C). State and in accordance with a case in which a loop with the description) as "time plus loop" between, there is.

  When the process of step S33 is executed at the time of addition transition, the AT state control means 200 executes a process of adding 1 to the value “0” that is the initial value of the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f. Thereby, the effect control means 180 is a value that is a stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f after executing the process of step S33 when executing the lottery state effect based on the execution of the process of step S34 by the AT state control means 200. Based on “1”, the lottery state effect of the content of the first effect is executed.

  On the other hand, when executing the process of step S33 during the addition loop, the AT state control means 200 executes a process of adding 1 to the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f. For example, when the added CZ lottery state executed at the time of the addition transition shifts to the added CZ state, and when the added CZ state shifts to the added CZ lottery state, the AT state control means 200 performs the lottery state effect in the previous added CZ lottery state. The value “1” set in the counter 198f is incremented by 1, and the value “2” is set. Thereby, the effect control means 180 is a value that is a stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f after executing the process of step S33 when executing the lottery state effect based on the execution of the process of step S34 by the AT state control means 200. Based on “2”, the lottery state effect of the content of the second effect is executed.

  With this configuration, the AT state control unit 200 of the present embodiment causes the effect control unit 180 to execute a lottery state effect having continuity on the contents of the effect during the added CZ lottery state executed a plurality of times. In order to control, it is possible to change the contents of the performance when the added CZ lottery state is executed a plurality of times in a short period of time with contents having story characteristics, and it is possible to improve the player's interest in the performance .

  If it is determined that the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198fd is not 0 after executing the process of step S34 or in the process of step S31 (NO), the AT state control means 200 uses the internal lottery means 120. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not a winning combination is won out of a plurality of types (S35). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not to execute the control for stocking the added CZ state by determining whether or not the chance combination is won in the internal lottery. If it is determined that the winning is made (YES), an extra CZ stock lottery is executed (S36). In the process of step S36, the AT state control unit 200 determines whether the added CZ state stock is determined for each of a plurality of random numbers from the storage unit 190, as “additional CZ state stock” and “losing (non-winning)”. An added CZ stock lottery table (not shown) associated with any of them is acquired. Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the additional CZ stock lottery table stored in the storage unit 190, and stores the additional CZ state based on the comparison result. Decide whether or not to do. As described above, the process of step S36 for determining whether or not to execute the added CZ state constitutes an added chance zone lottery (added CZ lottery) in the present embodiment.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the CZ state stock is won in the process of step S36 (S37). In this process, if it is determined that the added CZ state stock is won (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds one time to the added CZ stock counter 198g which is a counter for storing the number of times of executing the added CZ state. A value “1” which is a value corresponding to the added CZ state is added (S38).

  After executing the process of step S38, if it is determined in the process of step S35 that the winning combination is not won in the internal lottery (NO) or in the process of step S37, the additional CZ stock lottery is won. If it is determined that the game has not been performed (NO), the AT state control means 200 corresponds to one game from the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198e because one game has been executed in the extra CZ lottery state. The value “1” which is the value to be subtracted is subtracted (S39). Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198e is 0 (S40). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not 20 games have been executed in the extra CZ lottery state, and if it is determined that the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198e is not 0 ( NO) Since 20 games have not yet been executed in the extra CZ lottery state, the extra CZ lottery state process is terminated without shifting to the normal AT state or the extra CZ state.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the stored value of the lottery state end determination counter 198e is 0 (YES), the AT state control means 200 determines whether the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g is 0 or not. (S41). In this process, the AT state control means 200 refers to the stored value of the additional CZ stock counter 198g to determine whether the state to shift from the additional CZ lottery state is the normal AT state or the additional CZ state. ing.

  If it is determined in the process of step S41 that the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g is 0 (YES), the AT state control means 200 starts a game in the normal AT state from the next game, that is, Since the exit from the loop that shifts the state between the added special state, the added CZ lottery state, and the added CZ state and the loop that changes the state between the added CZ lottery state and the added CZ state, the next added CZ lottery In order to execute the lottery state effect of the contents of the first effect as the lottery state effect when the state is shifted to, the memory value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is initialized (S42). Then, the AT state control means 200 shifts to the normal AT state (S43), and finishes the extra CZ lottery state process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S41 that the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g is not 0 (NO), the AT state control means 200 starts the game in the added CZ state from the next game. Therefore, the value “1”, which is a value corresponding to the added CZ state for one time, is subtracted from the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g (S44). Then, the AT state control means 200 shifts to the additional CZ state (S45), and ends the additional CZ lottery state process. The processes of step S44 and step S45, which are processes for starting the execution of the added CZ state, constitute the added chance zone start process (added CZ start process) in the present embodiment.

<Additional CZ state processing>
11 and 12 are flowcharts showing each control process executed by the AT state control means 200 in the added CZ state in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  First, the AT state control unit 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the addition CZ end determination counter 198h is 0 (S51). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the additional CZ end determination counter 198h that counts the number of games executed in the additional CZ state is 0, so that the current game is the current additional CZ. It is determined whether or not it is the first game in the state.

  If it is determined in step S51 that the stored value of the added CZ state end determination counter 198h is 0 (YES), the AT state control unit 200 executes the added CZ state for 10 games from the current game. In order to do this, the lottery state end determination counter 198h is added to the value “10”, which is the number of games to execute the CZ state (S52). Next, the AT state control unit 200 adds 1 to the stored value of the continuous effect counter 198i of the number storage unit 198 (S53). Next, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means 180 to execute a continuation effect corresponding to the stored value of the continuation effect counter 198i (S54).

  Here, when the AT state control means 200 executes the process of step S53, when the transition is made from the added CZ lottery state to the added CZ state, and in the added CZ state that has been executed up to the previous game, the added state is specialized. There is a case where it is determined not to shift and a value of 1 or more is stored in the added CZ stock counter 198g, that is, the added CZ state is stocked and the added CZ state is started.

  When the process of step S53 is executed when shifting from the added CZ lottery state to the added CZ state, the AT state control means 200 adds 1 to the value “0” that is the initial value of the stored value of the continuation effect counter 198i. Execute. Thereby, the effect control means 180, when executing the continuous effect based on the execution of the process of step S54 by the AT state control means 200, the value “1” that is the stored value of the continuous effect counter 198i after executing the process of step S53. Based on the above, the continuation effect of the content of the first effect is executed.

  On the other hand, when the process of step S53 is executed when the added CZ state that has been stocked is started, the AT state control means 200 executes a process of adding 1 to the stored value of the continuation effect counter 198i. For example, when the added CZ state transitioned from the added CZ lottery state is finished and the added added CZ state is started, the AT state control unit 200 sets the value “set in the continuation effect counter 198i in the previous added CZ state“ Add 1 to 1 and set the value “2”. Thereby, the effect control means 180, when executing the continuous effect based on the execution of the process of step S54 by the AT state control means 200, the value “2” that is the stored value of the continuous effect counter 198i after executing the process of step S53. Based on the above, the continuation effect of the content of the second effect is executed.

  With this configuration, the AT state control means 200 according to the present embodiment allows the number storage means 198 to add the CZ stock counter 198g to store the stock number, so that the added CZ state is added to the added special state, the normal AT state, or the added CZ lottery. When the addition CZ state is continuously executed a plurality of times without shifting to the state, the effect control means 180 gives the effect control device 180 a continuation effect having continuity in the contents over the addition CZ state executed a plurality of times. In order to execute, it is possible to associate the number of stocks stored in the additional CZ stock counter 198g, that is, the number of consecutive executions of the additional CZ state with the contents of the production, and expectation to shift to the additional specialized state Can be given to the player by directing and the player's interest in the directing can be improved. That.

  After executing the processing of step S54, the AT state control means 200 executes a state transition probability determination lottery that is a lottery for determining the probability of shifting from the added CZ state to the added specialized state (S55). In this process, the AT state control means 200 is a lottery table used when executing an extra special transition lottery that is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to an extra special state, which will be described later, and AT state control data A state transition probability determination lottery is executed for determining which one of the additional specialized transition lottery tables (not shown) stored in the storage means 197 is to be used. At the time of executing the state transition probability determination lottery, the AT state control means 200 performs a lottery using a state transition probability determination lottery table (not shown) corresponding to the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f. Specifically, the AT state control means 200, when the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is the values “4” and “7”, the values “1” to “3”, “5”, “6”. The state transition probability determination lottery using the state transition probability determination lottery table that is easier to win the extra special transition lottery table that has a higher probability of winning the transition to the specialization state with the addition than in the case of “8” to “12” Execute. In addition, when the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is the value “13”, the AT state control means 200 has a higher probability of winning the transition to the specialization state than when it is another value. The state transition probability determination lottery is executed using the state transition probability determination lottery table that is easy to win the conversion transition lottery table.

  That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the contents of the effect of the lottery state effect executed in the added CZ lottery state proceeds, and the addition after the thirteenth lottery state effect that ends the series of stories is executed. In the CZ state, the probability of shifting to the specialization state is likely to be high, and when the interest of the player's performance is enhanced by the content of the production in the lottery state production, the transition to the specialization state Since the degree of expectation is also improved, it is possible to dramatically improve the interest of the player in the game.

  After executing the process of step S55, the AT state control unit 200 stores the result of winning in the process of step S55 in the AT state control data storage unit 197 (S56). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 stores the extra special transition lottery table determined to be used in the process of step S55 in the AT state control data storage unit 197, and stores the AT state control data when the process of step S61 is executed. By referring to the means 197, it is possible to execute an extra special transfer lottery.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is 13 (S57). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is 13, in the extra CZ lottery state that was executed immediately before shifting to the current extra CZ state. It is determined whether or not a lottery state effect that has reached the end of a series of stories has been executed, and if it is determined that the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is 13 (YES), the next addition CZ lottery In order to cause the effect control means 180 to execute the lottery state effect having the contents at the start of a series of stories in the state, the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is initialized to the value “0” (S58).

  After executing the process of step S58, if it is determined that the stored value of the extra CZ end determination counter 198h is not 0 in the process of step S51 (NO), or the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is the process of step S57. If it is determined that it is not 13, (NO), the AT state control means 200 corresponds to one game from the stored value of the additional CZ end determination counter 198h because one game has been executed in the additional CZ state. The value “1”, which is a value, is subtracted (S59). Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the extra CZ end determination counter 198h is 0 (S60). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not 10 games have been executed in the added CZ state, and determines that the stored value of the added CZ end determination counter 198h is not 0 (NO) ) Since 10 games have not yet been executed in the added CZ state, the added CZ state process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the stored value of the added CZ end determination counter 198h is 0 (YES), the AT state control unit 200 starts processing related to the transition from the added CZ state to another state. In the process related to the transition from the added CZ state to another state, first, the AT state control means 200 executes an added specialized transition lottery that is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the added specialized state (S61). ). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 acquires the specialization transfer lottery table stored in the AT state control data storage unit 197 in the process of step S56. Here, the extra special transition lottery table includes “extra special state transition” for determining the transition from the extra CZ state to the extra special state for each of a plurality of random numbers, and a predetermined game as the number of extra games. One of “game number addition” determined to add the number of times (for example, any one of 10 to 50 games) and “losing (non-winning)” is associated. The AT state control means 200 obtains a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the obtained random number with an extra special shift lottery table stored in the AT state control data storage means 197, and adds an extra CZ based on the comparison result. It is determined whether to shift from the state to the specialization state, increase the number of games in which the normal AT state is executed, or not execute any processing. Note that the AT state control means 200 is configured to determine which number of games is to be added as the number of games when winning the number of games.

  Next, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the specialization state transition is won in the process of step S61 (S62). In this process, if it is determined that the extra special state transition is won (YES), the AT state control means 200 shifts from the extra CZ state to the extra special state, thereby specializing the extra game from the next game. In order to start the game in the state, the continuation effect counter 198i is initialized (S63), the state is shifted to the additional special state (S64), and the additional CZ state process is terminated. In these processes, the AT state control means 200 shifts to the specialization state after completion of the current addition CZ state, that is, passes through a state other than the addition CZ state until the start of the next addition CZ state. Then, in order to cause the effect control means 180 to execute the continuous effect of the contents that will be the start time of a series of stories in the next addition CZ state, the stored value of the continuous effect counter 198i is initialized to the value “0”. . Then, the AT state control means 200 can start the game in the added special state from the next game by shifting to the added special state.

  If it is determined in step S62 that the specialization state transition is not won (NO), the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the game number addition is won (S65). In this process, if it is determined that the game number is won (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds the added game number won in the process of step S61 to the added game number counter 198c (S66).

  If it is determined after the process of step S66 is executed or in the process of step S65 that the number of games has not been won (NO), the AT state control means 200 stores the stored value of the additional CZ stock counter 198g as 0. It is determined whether or not (S67). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the added CZ state is stocked by referring to the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g, and the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g is If it is determined that the value is not 0 (NO), the added CZ state is stocked, and since it is determined in the process of step S61 that the added CZ state is not shifted to the added special state, the added value is added. A value “1” corresponding to the number of executions of the additional CZ state for one time is subtracted from the stored value of the CZ stock counter 198g (S68), and the additional CZ state processing is terminated. In this process, the AT state control means 200 subtracts the stored value of the added CZ stock counter 198g and shifts to another state in order to start the added CZ state stocked after the end of the current added CZ state. The added CZ state process is terminated without executing the process.

  If it is determined in the process of step S67 that the stored value of the extra CZ stock counter 198g is 0 (YES), the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the extra number of games is won in the process of step S61. Determination is made (S69). In this process, the AT state control means 200 determines in step S61 that it will not shift to the additional special state, and since the additional CZ state is not stocked, the normal AT state and the additional CZ lottery are selected from the additional CZ state. In order to determine which state is to be transferred, it is determined whether or not the game number is won in the process of step S61.

  If it is determined in the process of step S69 that the number of games has been added (YES), the AT state control means 200 shifts from the added CZ state to the normal AT state, so that in the normal AT state from the next game. In order to start the game, the continuation effect counter 198i is initialized (S70), transitions to the normal AT state (S71), and the added CZ state process is terminated. In these processes, the AT state control means 200 shifts to the normal AT state after the end of the current addition CZ state, that is, through the state other than the addition CZ state until the start of the next addition CZ state. The game in the normal AT state can be started from the next game by shifting to the normal AT state after executing a process substantially similar to the process of step S63. Note that the AT state control means 200 starts a game in the normal AT state from the next game, that is, a loop for shifting the state between the additional special state, the additional CZ lottery state, and the additional CZ state and the additional CZ lottery. In order to execute the lottery state effect of the contents of the first effect as the lottery state effect when the state shifts from the loop that shifts the state between the state and the additional CZ state to the next additional CZ lottery state, When the process of step S72 is executed, a process substantially similar to the process of step S42 of the extra CZ lottery state process (see FIG. 10) is also executed, and the stored value of the lottery state effect counter 198f is initialized.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S69 that the number of games has not been won (NO), the AT state control means 200 starts the game in the CZ lottery state with the additional game from the next game. The effect counter 198i is initialized (S72), transitions to the extra CZ lottery state (S73), and the extra CZ state process is terminated. In these processes, the AT state control means 200 shifts to the added CZ lottery state after the completion of the current addition CZ state, that is, passes the state other than the addition CZ state until the start of the next addition CZ state. From the next game, the game in the added CZ lottery state can be started by shifting to the added CZ lottery state after executing processing substantially similar to the processing of step S63 and step S70.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment can determine the execution of the added CZ state in which the probability of shifting to the added specialized state is higher than the normal AT state when the added specialized state is executed. Since it shifts to the possible additional CZ lottery state, and in the additional CZ state, it is possible to execute the additional CZ state a plurality of times by storing the additional CZ state stock number in the additional number storage means 198 and storing the number of stocks in the CZ state. Even after the completion of the specialization state, the transition from the additional CZ lottery state to the additional CZ state can give the player a sense of expectation that the transition to the specialization state can be made again. It can prevent a decrease in player's expectation that may occur due to termination, and extend the period during which the normal AT state is executed Maintaining the player's expectation that will increase as a result of the transition to the specialization state that is advantageous to the player for the medal payout with a high probability of execution, even after the specialization state ends. Can do.

3. Modified Example In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 is a game in which the normal AT state is always executed when the winning combination is won in the internal lottery during the execution of the first added state to the ninth added state. Although it is configured to increase the number of times, it is not limited to this, for example, it is configured to increase the number of games in which the normal AT state is executed with higher probability than when winning other than the additional preferential role Also good. When configured in this way, the AT state control means 200 only needs to be configured to perform the extra lottery even when the extra preferential role is won in the extra special state process. Further, the AT state control means 200 executes an extra lottery when an extra preferential role with an extra probability of 100% is won, as shown in steps S12 and S13 of the extra special state process (see FIGS. 7 and 8). It is configured to add the number of additional games without adding, but not limited to this, the probability of winning the additional number of games is set to 100% when the additional preferential role is won and the lottery is executed. It may be a configuration.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 executes a loop lottery at the end of the additional special state, as shown in steps S18 to S23 of the additional special state process (see FIGS. 7 and 8). , It is configured to shift to the additional CZ lottery state when it is decided not to continue the additional special state in the loop lottery, but is not limited to this, for example, the loop lottery is executed at the start of the additional special state However, when it is determined that the additional special state is not continued, it may be configured to determine to shift to the additional CZ lottery state after the additional special state is completed. That is, the AT state control means 200 may execute the added CZ lottery state based on the execution of the added special state, and the timing for determining to execute the added CZ lottery state is at any point in the added special state. May be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 executes the extra CZ stock lottery when the winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the extra CZ lottery state (see step S35 and step S36 in FIG. 10), and the extra CZ Although it is configured to stock the added CZ state when winning the extra CZ state stock in the stock lottery, it is not limited to this, for example, when the winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the extra CZ stock lottery is executed It may be configured to stock the added CZ state. Further, the AT state control means 200 may be configured to be able to stock the added CZ state even when a chance combination is won in the internal lottery in the added CZ state. When configured in this way, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not to stock the additional CZ state by executing the additional CZ stock lottery when the winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the additional CZ state. You may be comprised so that it may be comprised, and it may be comprised so that an addition CZ state may be stocked, without performing addition CZ stock lottery.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 is configured to execute the extra special transition lottery after executing a predetermined number of games in the extra CZ state. The special transition lottery may be executed every time a predetermined number of games are executed, such as every time a game is executed or every time a plurality of games are executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 is configured to always shift to the specialization state when shifting from the normal non-AT state or the CZ state to the AT state, but is not limited thereto. For example, it may be configured to shift to the normal AT state, or may be configured to shift to any AT state. When the normal AT state or the CZ state is configured to shift to a state other than the specialization state, the AT state control unit 200 executes the normal AT state when the non-AT state shifts to the AT state. It is desirable to be configured to set the number of games played.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 has an additional specialized state as the second AT state in which the period for executing the AT state is easier to extend than the normal AT state. For example, even if the second AT state has a so-called pseudo bonus state, which is a state that is started when an effect that causes the player to recognize that a bonus state has been entered by the effect control means 180 is executed. Good. Further, the AT state control means 200 may have a pseudo bonus CZ state having a higher probability of shifting to the pseudo bonus state than the normal AT state as the third AT state. The AT state control means 200 is a process for starting execution of the pseudo bonus CZ lottery for determining whether or not to execute the pseudo bonus CZ state and the pseudo bonus CZ state determined to be executed in the pseudo bonus CZ lottery. A pseudo bonus CZ lottery state capable of executing the pseudo bonus CZ start process may be provided as the fourth AT state.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has a small combination in which two payouts are set as a chance combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the winning probability is lower than other replays, Regardless of this, a special replay that can be won may be used as an opportunity. In addition, the slot machine 1 may be configured to have a special replay as a cherry role and a watermelon role that has a lower probability of winning than other replays for the cherry role and the watermelon role and can be won regardless of the batting order. Good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 executes the winning assist control for displaying the correct answer order on the game information display unit DS when the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6 are won in the AT state, and the display. The effect control means 180 is configured to cause the effect control means 180 to execute the winning assist effect, which is to notify the correct hitting order by the effect device 300 such as an effect that displays the correct answer order on the device 330. Instead, it may be configured to execute only the winning assistance control for displaying the correct hit order on the game information display unit DS.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to have the game control means 100 as a control board, but is not limited thereto, and for example, has a main control board and a sub control board as control boards. It may be configured. When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 has control means for executing lottery processing and reel control related to the progress of games such as internal lottery on the main control board, and so-called AT as control processing related to effects. Each sub-control board may be provided with each control means for executing a control process including whether to win or not and lottery related to AT. In addition, the control process including the main control board is executed for the control process including whether the AT is successful or the lottery related to the AT, and the control means forming the sub control board is executed for the control process related to the effect. May be.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each symbol constituting a symbol combination (winning symbol combination) indicating a winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line L1 at the time of winning the CBB is located within the range of the number of sliding symbols. Although each reel is arranged so that it is displayed on the active line L1 when each stop button is stopped in the state, it is not limited to this. In the slot machine 1, each symbol constituting the CBB winning symbol combination (hereinafter, the CBB winning symbol combination is also referred to as “specific symbol combination”) is displayed. The stop switch 240 performs the pressing operation of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 may be arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line L1 regardless of the pressed detection position that is the position of the reel at the time of detection. When configured in this way, the reel control means 130 changes the operation mode of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 detected by the stop switch 240 when the CBB is won independently by the internal lottery in the RT0 state to the RT4 state. Regardless, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped so that the specific symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1.

  Hereinafter, a modified example of the slot machine 1 configured so that the CBB can be won regardless of the pressed detection position when the CBB is won will be described.

  When the CBB is configured so that the CBB can be won regardless of the pressed detection position at the time of winning the CBB, the slot machine 1 always wins the CBB at the time of winning the CBB, and thus is executed in a state where the CBB is not won. When the CBB is won in the gaming state RT0 state to RT4 state, the gaming state shifts to the RT0 internal state to RT4 internal state, but the gaming state shifts to the bonus state when the CBB wins during the game. Therefore, the game cannot be started in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the logic operation process, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. That is, the reel control means 130, when the CBB and the small role or replay are won in the internal lottery, regardless of the operation mode of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 detected by the stop switch 240, the specific design The first reel R <b> 1 to the third reel R <b> 3 are stopped so that the winning symbol combination associated with the small role or replay is given priority over the combination and displayed on the active line L <b> 1.

  With this configuration, when the slot machine 1 is configured so that the CBB can be won regardless of the pressed detection position when the CBB is won, the slot machine 1 wins in the internal lottery executed in the RT0 state to the RT4 state. In addition to the winning mode in which the CBB (specific role) that is the opportunity to shift from the RT0 state to the RT4 state to the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state is won independently, a small role or replay (ordinary role) different from the CBB It is preferable to be configured so that a winning mode in which and are duplicated can also be won. When configured in this way, when the slot machine 1 wins the winning mode in which the CBB and the small role or replay overlap in the internal lottery in the RT0 state to the RT4 state, the gaming state is the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state. In the logic operation process in the game won in the winning mode in which the CBB and the small role or replay overlap in the internal lottery, the reel stop control is executed so that the small role or replay can be won in preference to the CBB. A game in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state can be started from the next game by winning a small role or replay, or by missing the game.

  In other words, when configured in this way, the gaming state transition control means 170 determines the gaming state when the winning combination CBB (specific combination) that shifts the gaming state is won in the RT0 state to the RT4 state. When it becomes possible to shift from RT0 internal state to RT4 internal state as the specific gaming state and CBB is won, that is, when the specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1, the RT0 internal state to RT4 internal state as the specific gaming state is changed. The game state is shifted to a bonus state which is a first game state different from the specific game state. Further, the gaming state transition control means 170 maintains the specific gaming state without shifting the gaming state to the bonus state when the specific symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L1 when the CBB is won. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the bonus state when the total number of medals paid out reaches a specific total number (14 in this embodiment) in the bonus state, and the specific gaming state and the first gaming state. The gaming state is shifted from the RT0 state to the RT4 state, which are different second gaming states.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to win a replay with a higher probability in the RT3 state and the RT4 state than in the RT0 state to the RT2 state. As shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, in the RT3 state, the normal replay and the RT4 transition replay can be selected, and in the RT4 state, the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15 and the normal replay are performed. It is configured to be able to win. However, the configuration of the replay combination that can be won in the RT3 state and the RT4 state is not limited to this.

  The slot machine 1 may be configured to be able to win a special replay having a winning symbol combination different from the normal replay and the RT4 transition replay in the RT3 state. Further, the slot machine 1 may be configured to be able to win special replay even in the RT4 state. In this case, the slot machine 1 is preferably configured such that the special replay winning symbol combination is a winning symbol combination different from the normal replay, RT4 transition replay, RT3 transition replay, and special replay 1 to special replay 3 winning symbol combinations. . Further, when the special replay is won, the slot machine 1 may be configured to be able to execute an extra process for setting an extension of the period during which the AT state is executed in the AT state based on the special replay winning. . When configured in this way, the special replay constitutes a special role that can give a player a privilege related to the game of executing an extra process for setting an extension of the period during which the AT state is executed.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which, when the CBB is won in the RT0 state to the RT4 state, the winning probability of the replay does not change when the CBB is won. For example, in the internal state of RT4, the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15 and the special replay may be configured to win. When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 does not change the total value (total probability) of the winning probabilities of each replay triggered by winning the CBB, The probability of winning any one of the special replays having overlapping hits with the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15 can be improved by winning the CBB and moving to the RT4 internal state. As for the winning mode in which the special replay is independently won in the RT4 internal state, for example, the RT4 internal state that is started by winning the CBB by assigning the special replay as the replay to be won in duplicate with the CBB in the RT4 state. In this case, a winning mode for winning a special replay alone may be provided.

  When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 may have a winning mode in which the CBB is elected alone in the RT0 state to the RT4 state and a winning mode in which the CBB and the small role or replay are repeatedly won. preferable. Further, when the slot machine 1 wins a winning mode that can be won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal lottery by overlapping the batting order replay 13 to the batting order replay 15 and the special replay, the batting order and the press timing of the stop button B1 It is preferable that the reel stop control is performed so as to win a special replay regardless of the above, that is, in the RT4 internal state, the probability of winning a special replay by the reel stop control is higher than that in the RT4 state.

  With this configuration, the slot machine 1 is in a specific gaming state more than a predetermined probability that a special combination wins in the bonus state that is the first gaming state and the RT4 state that is the second gaming state. It is controlled to win with a high probability in a certain RT4 internal state. For this reason, when the slot machine 1 is in the RT4 internal state, the extra process for setting the period during which the AT state continues is executed more frequently than in the case of other gaming states, and a special replay is won. Thus, it is possible to suggest to the player that the extra process has been executed, and therefore it is possible to provide the player with attractive game performance with improved game performance in the internal state of RT4. The reel control means 130, the game state transition control means 170, and the internal lottery table storage means 191 that control the special combination winning probability constitute a winning probability control means.

  The slot machine 1 is not limited to the special replay but may have a special small role as a special role that can be given to the player a privilege related to the game. When configured to have a special small role as a special role, the slot machine 1 is configured so that Bell A and the special small role are won in common when the common bell role is won. The reel stop control may be executed so that the special small combination wins regardless of the stop button pressing timing when the common bell combination is won.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 has a configuration in which the winning probability of replay does not change when the CBB is won when the CBB is won in the RT0 state to the RT4 state. In the internal lottery table, the random number associated with the CBB single winning in the RT4 state is associated with “losing (non-winning)”, and the random number associated with the overlapping winning combination of the CBB and the small role is Random numbers associated with “small role” and associated with duplicate winning of CBB and replay are associated with “replay”. In the RT4 internal state, as described above, the CBB lottery flag is always set to the ON state. For this reason, in the internal lottery in the game in the RT4 internal state, when the slot machine 1 wins any small role, the slot machine 1 wins the selected small role or does not win any small role (losing) ) If the reel stop control is performed so that one of the replays is won, the reel stop control is performed so that the selected replay wins, and the lottery flag is turned on when the game is lost (non-winning). The reels are controlled so that the CBB set in is won and the CBB wins.

  Note that the slot machine 1 may be configured such that when the CBB is won in the RT0 state to the RT4 state, the winning probability of the replay is changed when the CBB is won. In other words, in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state that shifts by winning the CBB, the slot machine 1 is associated with a replay part of the random numbers that are associated with the CBB single winning in the RT0 state to the RT4 state. It may be configured as follows. In particular, the slot machine 1 may be configured to increase the above-described special replay winning probability of the replay role when the replay winning probability increases in the RT4 internal state as compared with the RT4 state. With this configuration, when the slot machine 1 is in the RT4 internal state, the extra process for setting the period during which the AT state continues is executed more frequently than in the other gaming state. Since it is possible to indicate to the player that the extra process has been executed by winning the special replay, it is possible to provide the player with an attractive gaming property that improves the gaming property in the internal state of RT4.

  Further, in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state that shifts by winning the CBB, the slot machine 1 is configured so that all the random numbers associated with the CBB single winning in the RT0 state to the RT4 state are associated with the replay. It may be configured. In particular, the slot machine 1 may be configured to increase the above-described special replay winning probability of the replay role when the replay winning probability increases in the RT4 internal state as compared with the RT4 state. When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 always wins the CBB and the small role or replay in duplicate in each game in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state. As described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus” in the logic operation processing. Therefore, in each game in the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state, the CBB is small. When the winning combination or the replay is always configured to be repeatedly won, the winning mode including the winning combination (for example, batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 when the stop button is pressed properly in the internal lottery) Such as special small part 1 to special small part 6 that can be won when the pressing timing of the stop button is appropriate, and bell A that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button in the correct answer order. Winning mode for winning and winning mode for winning a small role that can be awarded when the stop button is pressed appropriately, such as a chance role) When winning, if the stop button press timing is appropriate, the winning combination of a small role and the CBB are won, and the stop button pressing time is the time when the small role cannot be won In addition, it is preferable that the reel stop control is executed so that the CBB wins, so that the transition from the RT0 internal state to the RT4 internal state can be shifted to the bonus state.

  Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, when the gaming state is the bonus state, the internal lottery means 120 sets the lottery flags of all small roles to the ON state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.
