Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a spinning machine or other slot machine.

  Conventionally, in a normal state (second game state), whether or not a bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as a specific combination) is determined by the operation of the start lever is determined, and when the specific combination is won, a flag for the specific combination is established. . When the symbol combination of the specific combination (hereinafter referred to as a specific symbol combination) is displayed on the active line in a state where the flag of the specific combination is established (hereinafter referred to as a specific gaming state), On the other hand, when the bonus game is performed (hereinafter referred to as the first gaming state), if the specific symbol combination is not displayed on the active line, the game is maintained in the specific gaming state without shifting to the first gaming state. Is done. In the bonus game, since the player can acquire more medals than usual, the winning of the specific role can improve the player's willingness to play (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-148957 A

  In the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, it is assumed that the specific symbol combination associated with the specific combination is always a symbol combination displayed on the active line regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. If it does so, the period until a specific symbol combination is displayed after winning of a specific combination, ie, the stay period of the specific game state in which the flag of a specific combination is established, can be made comparatively short. This makes it possible to quickly provide bonus games to the player, but on the other hand, it becomes difficult to secure a stay period in the specific gaming state, and provides new entertainment to the player in the specific gaming state. Difficult to do.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can provide a player with a new interest in a specific gaming state.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is triggered by a game start operation with a plurality of reels each having a symbol row on which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged, and a predetermined number of game media inserted. An internal lottery means for determining whether or not one or more of a plurality of types including a specific combination and a normal combination different from the specific combination by internal lottery, and the plurality of reels are triggered by the game start operation. In addition to rotating, the reels are stopped in accordance with the operation of the stop switch corresponding to each of the plurality of reels so that the symbol combination previously associated with the winning combination in the internal lottery can be displayed on the effective line. A reel control means and a specific gaming state from when the specific combination is won in the internal lottery until the specific symbol combination associated with the specific combination is displayed on the active line A gaming machine comprising gaming state control means for controlling the transition of gaming state between a number of gaming states, and payout control means for paying out predetermined gaming media in accordance with the symbol combination displayed on the active line. The plurality of types of roles include special roles that can give a player a bonus related to a game, and the game includes a winning probability control means for controlling a winning probability of the special role in the internal lottery. When the specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line in the specific game state, the state control means ends the specific game state and shifts to the first game state different from the specific game state, while the specific game state When the symbol combination is not displayed on the active line, the specific game state is maintained without shifting to the first game state, and the game is performed in the first game state. When the total number of payouts of the body exceeds the specific total number, the first gaming state is terminated and shifted to the second gaming state different from the specific gaming state and the first gaming state. When the specific combination is won by lottery, the second gaming state is ended and the specific gaming state is shifted, and the reel control means, when the specific combination is won by the internal lottery, Regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch, when the reel is stopped to display the specific symbol combination on the effective line, when the specific combination and the normal combination are won in the internal lottery, Regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch, the symbol combination associated with the normal combination is given priority over the specific symbol combination and displayed on the effective line. And the winning probability control means controls the winning probability of the special combination in the specific gaming state with a higher probability than the winning probability of the special combination in the first gaming state and the second gaming state. It is characterized by that.

  In the above-described configuration, the plurality of types of combinations include a small combination that allows the game medium to be paid out to a player. The reel control means corresponds to the small combination due to the small combination being set to the winning state in the first gaming state. The reel is stopped so that a symbol combination is displayed on the active line, and the payout control means pays out a predetermined number of the game media when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is displayed on the active line. It is characterized by taking

  Further, in the above configuration, the small combination includes a first small combination that can pay out to the player a smaller number of game media than the specified total number, and a second small role that can pay out to the player more than the specified total number of game media. And a re-gamer that allows the next game to be started regardless of the insertion of the prescribed number of game media, and the winning state setting means includes a result of the internal lottery in the first gaming state. Regardless, both the first small combination and the second small combination are set in a winning state, and the reel control means is in the first gaming state, when the re-game combination is won in the internal lottery, The reel is stopped so that the first combination can be given priority over the second combination and the symbol combination corresponding to the first combination can be displayed on the effective line. I didn't win the re-playing role In addition, the reel is stopped so that the second combination can be given priority over the first combination and the symbol combination corresponding to the second combination can be displayed on the active line. The control means maintains the first gaming state without shifting to the second gaming state when the total number of payouts of the gaming media in the first gaming state does not exceed the specified total number. To do.

  According to the present invention, when a specific combination is won by internal lottery, the specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. Accordingly, the game state can be shifted to the first game state immediately after the game state is shifted from the second game state to the specific game state. On the other hand, if the winning combination overlaps with the specific combination and the normal combination in the internal lottery, the combination of symbols associated with the normal combination is given priority over the specific combination regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. Displayed on the active line. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the gaming state from immediately shifting from the specific gaming state to the first gaming state, and it is possible to secure a staying period of the specific gaming state.

  According to the present invention, a special role that triggers the provision of a privilege is provided, and the winning probability of the special role, that is, the winning probability that the symbol combination corresponding to the special role is displayed on the effective line and becomes a winning is the first. The specific gaming state has a higher probability than the gaming state and the second gaming state. As described above, in the present invention, even if the specific symbol combination associated with the specific role is a symbol combination displayed on the active line regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch, the winning probability of the special role is high. Since the stay period of the specific game state controlled by the probability can be ensured, it becomes possible to execute an interesting game in the specific game state.

  Next, each control processing unit constituting the slot machine S will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control processing unit 100 is provided inside the housing 1 and includes a main CPU, a main ROM, and a main RAM. The main control processing unit 100 includes an insertion medal sensor 11a that detects the passage of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 11, a MAX bet button 12, a single bet button 13, a settlement button 14, a start lever 15, and each stop button 16a. C. Other devices are connected, and the main CPU stores the signals in the main ROM based on the input of signals from these devices and signals from a timer counter (not shown) to the main control processing unit 100. The read program is read and various processes are executed, or a command is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 according to the result of the process. The main RAM functions as a work area for data during processing of the main CPU.

  The sub-control processing unit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and controls the execution of each effect performed mainly during the game. The sub-control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub-control processing unit 200. The sub CPU reads out a program stored in the sub ROM based on a command (instruction determined by the main control processing unit 100) transmitted from the main control processing unit 100, performs arithmetic processing, and performs the processing. Based on this, the rendering devices such as the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the sub-monitor 6 are controlled. The sub RAM functions as a data work area during the arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

  In the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100, based on the start lever enabling means 101 that enables the operation of the start lever 15, and the operation of the start lever 15 that has been enabled (signal from the start lever 15), Internal lottery means 102 for determining the corresponding winning area by internal lottery from a plurality of types, a flag (hereinafter referred to as a winning combination) associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as a winning combination). Winning flag control means (winning state setting means) 103, reel control means 104 for controlling the rotation and stop of each of the reels 30a to 30c, and a symbol combination corresponding to a small combination is an effective line L. The medal payout means 105 for paying out the number of medals previously associated with the small combination when winning a prize, and the symbol set corresponding to the re-playing combination When the game is displayed on the active line L, the re-gaming state setting means 106 for setting the re-gaming state that enables the next game without inserting the prescribed number of medals, the gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state 107, an effect mode control means 108 for controlling the effect mode (also referred to as an effect state) and a main monitor control means 109 for controlling the display of the main monitor 10 are constructed.

  In the present embodiment example, a non-CBB internal game state (second game state), a CBB internal game state (specific game state), and a CBB game state (first game state) are provided as the game state, and the non-CBB internal game state (Hereinafter referred to as non-internal CBB) includes a non-RT gaming state (hereinafter referred to as non-RT), an RT1 gaming state (hereinafter referred to as RT1), and an RT2 gaming state (hereinafter referred to as RT2). RT3 gaming state (hereinafter referred to as RT3) and RT4 gaming state (hereinafter referred to as RT4) are provided. The gaming state control means 107 responds to the winning of the CBB combination, non-internal CBB (non-RT, RT1 to RT4), CBB internal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as internal CBB), CBB gaming state (hereinafter referred to as CBB). )) To control the transition of the gaming state.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, a non-ART mode in which a normal game is performed and an ART mode in which an ART game that is more advantageous to the player than a normal game are provided as the effect modes. An ART game is a game that combines an AT game and an RT game, and an AT game is a game that makes it easy to acquire medals by displaying the operation sequence of stop buttons on the main monitor 10 and the sub-monitor 6. The RT game is a game in which a re-gamer is won with a high probability in an internal lottery.

  In the sub-ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200, rendering device control means 201 for controlling the rendering devices of the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the sub-monitor 6 is constructed. In response to an instruction (command) from the main control processing unit 100, the rendering device control unit 201 controls each sounding device to perform a sound effect, a sound effect, a video effect, and the like.

  First, each means constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

  The start lever enabling means 101 operates the start lever 15 when a prescribed number of medals are inserted into the slot machine S or when the slot machine S is set to the replay state described above by the replay state setting means 106. Enable it.

  The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number (not shown) for internal lottery at the timing when the activated start lever 15 operation (game start operation) is performed, and the acquired random number and the current gaming state Based on the type, one winning area is determined from among a plurality of types of winning areas. Specifically, the internal lottery means 102 refers to the winning probability lottery table (see FIG. 9) stored in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 according to the gaming state, refers to the referenced table, and the acquired internal The winning area is determined based on the random number for lottery.

  The winning area, the role associated with the winning area, and the winning probability of the winning area will be described later. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. It is associated with both the winning area “CBB1” (No. 46) and the winning area “CBB2” (No. 47). Only the CBB role is associated with CBB1, and CBB2 is re-added in addition to the CBB role. A game combination (REP1 described later) is associated.

  The winning flag control means 103 establishes (sets) a winning flag relating to the combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery and wins all the small combinations in the CBB regardless of the result of the internal lottery. Set the flag. Further, the winning flag control means 103, when the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in the current game is the winning flag related to the small role or the replaying role, In order not to carry over to the next game, it is set to OFF (released) before the start of the next game.

  In the present embodiment, when the winning flag for the CBB combination is established, the CBB combination is supported regardless of the operation timing and operation sequence of the stop button (hereinafter referred to as the stop button operation mode). The symbol combination (specific symbol combination; hereinafter referred to as CBB symbol combination) is displayed on the effective line L. On the other hand, when the winning flag for the CBB combination and the small combination is established, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is prioritized over the CBB combination regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Similarly, when the winning flag for the CBB combination and the re-playing role is overlapped, the re-playing role is given priority over the CBB combination regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Thus, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player is displayed on the active line L.

  For example, when CBB1 is won by internal lottery in RT1 (non-internal CBB), the winning flag control means 103 establishes a winning flag for the CBB role alone, and the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state from RT1 to the internal CBB. Let When the stop button is operated after this, the reel control means 104 stops the reel so that the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. In this case, the winning flag control means 103 sets (releases) the winning flag of the CBB combination to OFF before starting the next game without carrying it over to the next game, and the gaming state control means 107 as will be described later. Shifts the gaming state from the internal CBB to the CBB. For this reason, when CBB1 is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, the stay period of the internal CBB is a short period (approximately 1) from winning of CBB1 (game starting operation that triggers winning of CBB1) to CBB symbol combination stop display. A period corresponding to one game). In the following description, the reel stop mode when the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L is referred to as a “specific stop mode”, and the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game is displayed on the active line L. The reel stop mode at this time is referred to as a “normal stop mode”.

  For example, assuming that CBB2 is won by internal lottery in RT4 (non-internal CBB), the winning flag control means 103 establishes the winning flags of the CBB combination and the re-game combination in duplicate, and the gaming state control means 107 sets the gaming state. Is transferred from RT4 to the internal CBB. When the stop button is operated after that, the reel control means 104 stops the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gamer is displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. In this case, since the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L, the winning flag control means 103 carries over the winning flag of the CBB combination to the next game, and the gaming state control means 107 maintains the gaming state in the internal CBB. . For this reason, if CBB2 is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, the stay period of the internal CBB is at least a period longer than the stay period of the internal CBB when CBB1 wins in the non-internal CBB (approximately 2 games) Over the corresponding period).

  In the following description, the internal CBB migrated from non-RT (non-internal CBB) is “non-RT internal CBB”, the internal CBB migrated from RT1 (non-internal CBB) is “RT1 internal CBB”, and RT2 (non-internal CBB). ), The internal CBB migrated from RT3 (non-internal CBB) is called “RT3 internal CBB”, and the internal CBB migrated from RT4 (non-internal CBB) is called “RT4 internal CBB”. I will decide. Also, CBB migrated from non-RT internal CBB is “non-RTCBB”, CBB migrated from RT1 internal CBB is “RT1CBB”, CBB migrated from RT2 internal CBB is “RT2CBB”, and CBB migrated from RT3 internal CBB is “RT3CBB” "The CBB migrated from the RT4 internal CBB is referred to as" RT4CBB ".

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of the reels 30a to 30c based on the game start operation, and accelerates the rotation of the reels until the respective reels 30a to 30c reach a steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute). Thereafter, when the reels 30a to 30c reach steady rotation, the reel control means 104 maintains the rotation speed of each reel and validates the operation of all the stop buttons 16a to 16c.

  Further, the reel control means 104 stops the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the stop operation time of each of the stop buttons 16a to 16c in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB. Here, since the constant speed rotation speed of each of the reels 30a to 30c is about 80 times / minute, the time required for one rotation of each reel 30a to 30c under the constant speed rotation speed is 60s / about 80 times≈about 750ms. Thus, the time required for one symbol to move by one frame (one area) is 750 ms / 20 symbols = 37.5 ms. For this reason, the reel can be rotated by a maximum of 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the corresponding stop button (5 frames including the symbols displayed on the active line at the timing of pressing the stop button) ( (190 ms / 37.5 ms) -1 design ≈ 4 designs). That is, the reel control unit 104 stops each reel so that the symbols positioned within the four frames are displayed on the effective line L with reference to the symbols displayed on the position of the effective line L.

  On the other hand, in the CBB, the reel control unit 104 rotates one reel among the reels 30a to 30c within 75 ms from the stop operation of the stop button corresponding to the one reel. Control is performed so that the stop operation is stopped within 190 ms from the stop operation of the stop button corresponding to the reel. Therefore, the one reel can be rotated by a maximum of one symbol (one frame) from the stop button pressing timing (two frames including the symbol displayed on the active line at the stop button pressing timing). The reel can be rotated by up to 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the stop button.

  When a plurality of winning flags are established at the same time, the reel control means 104 is within the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames from the stop button pressing timing for the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB, and the stop button for the CBB. Within the range of 4 frames or 1 frame, which is the maximum number of sliding frames from the pressing timing, the effective combination is the symbol combination corresponding to the combination with the largest number of medal payouts among each of the combinations corresponding to a plurality of established winning flags The payout number priority control for controlling the reel to be displayed on L, and the symbol combination corresponding to the combination so that the number of symbol combinations corresponding to each combination corresponding to a plurality of established winning flags is maximized. Number priority control for controlling reels to be displayed on the effective line L, and CBB symbol combination corresponding to CBB combination in internal CBB The first combination priority that controls the reels so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the active line L with respect to the combination of symbols corresponding to the re-playing combination over the combination corresponding to the small combination. In the control and CBB, the second drawing priority control for controlling the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the active line L preferentially over the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing combination, and the drawing priority order is most Based on a logic operation for searching for a high symbol and / or referring to a stop control table (not shown) stored in the main ROM in advance, among the symbol combinations related to the winning combination corresponding to the established winning flag The symbol combination with the highest ranking is drawn and the symbol combination associated with the winning combination other than the established winning flag is not displayed on the active line L. Cormorant kick, to stop the reel corresponding to the stop button.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the non-RT, RT1 to RT4 (second gaming state, non-internal CBB), the gaming state control means 107 terminates the non-internal CBB when CBB1 or CBB2 is won by internal lottery. The gaming state is shifted to the internal CBB (non-RT internal CBB in FIG. 8, RT1 internal CBB to RT4 internal CBB, specific gaming state C1 in FIG. 8), and the CBB corresponding to the CBB role in the internal CBB When the symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, the internal CBB is terminated and transitioned to CBB (non-RTCBB, RT1CBB to RT4CBB in FIG. 8, first gaming state) (C2 in FIG. 8). Further, when the total number of medals paid out in the CBB reaches 14, the gaming state control means 107 ends the CBB and shifts to the original non-internal CBB (D in FIG. 8). Note that the transition of the gaming state between non-RT and RT1 to RT4 (A1 to B3 in FIG. 8) will be described in detail when explaining each winning area.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the internal lottery for determining whether or not to win a plurality of types of winning areas is performed based on the operation of the start lever 15 (game starting operation) with a specified number of medals being inserted, and each reel 30a. The rotation of each of the reels 30a to 30c is stopped based on the operation of the activated stop buttons 16a to 16c and the result of the internal lottery. Then, the production mode control means 108 transmits a plurality of types of commands to the sub-control processing unit 200 at a predetermined timing during one game, and the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the plurality of types of commands. Based on this, effects are executed by each effect device (sub-monitor 6 or the like). The following describes the effect mode control means 108 that controls the effect mode, the main monitor control means 109 that controls the main monitor 10, and the effect device control means 201 built in the sub-control processing unit 200.

  The effect mode control means 108 performs a lottery (hereinafter referred to as ART lottery) as to whether or not to shift the effect mode from the non-ART mode to the ART mode based on the winning area determined by the internal lottery. For example, in the internal lottery in the non-ART mode, the effect mode control means 108 performs an ART lottery when a later-described strong cherry (see FIG. 5) is won, and when the ART lottery is won, The ART game number storage area 120 provided in FIG. 5 stores the ART game number of a predetermined number (for example, 50 times) and transmits an ART mode command for shifting the effect mode to the ART mode to the sub-control processing unit 200. When the sub control processing unit 200 receives the ART mode command, the rendering device control unit 201 controls the sub monitor 6 to shift the rendering mode from the non-ART mode to the ART mode.

  Note that at the beginning of the transition from the non-ART mode to the ART mode, the gaming state is normally RT1. In the ART mode in RT1, when the RT2 transition lip described later is won, the correct answer order of the stop buttons associated with the RT2 transition lip is displayed on the sub monitor 6. When the stop button is operated in accordance with this display and the symbol combination corresponding to the RT2 transition lip and the symbol combination that triggers the transition to RT2 is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts from RT1 to RT2. (A2 in FIG. 8). Similarly, in the ART mode in RT2, the stop button is operated in accordance with the correct answer order related to the later-described RT3 transition lip displayed on the sub-monitor 6, and the symbol combination corresponding to the RT3 transition lip is obtained. When the symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts from RT2 to RT3 (A3 in FIG. 8), and when the gaming state reaches RT3 in the ART mode, an ART game advantageous to the player starts. Is done.

  The effect mode control means 108 performs a lottery (hereinafter referred to as an “additional lottery”) as to whether or not to add the number of ART games based on the winning area determined by the internal lottery in the ART mode. For example, in the RT mode or RT4 in the ART mode, the effect mode control means 108 performs an extra lottery when the strong cherry is won, and when the extra lottery is won, the effect mode control means 108 determines the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). ) Is added and stored in the ART game number storage area 120, and an ART game number command including information on the added ART game number is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the ART game number command, the effect device control unit 201 controls the sub monitor 6 to display information about the ART game number included in the ART game number command.

  Further, the effect mode control means 108 subtracts “1” from the number of ART games stored in the ART game number storage area 120 for each game in the ART mode, and the ART game stored in the ART game number storage area 120. When the number of times becomes “0”, a non-ART mode command for shifting the effect mode to the non-ART mode is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the non-ART mode command, the rendering device control unit 201 controls the sub monitor 6 to shift the rendering mode from the ART mode to the non-ART mode.

  Furthermore, when the effect mode control means 108 wins a predetermined winning area (a winning area in which the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order are associated with each other, for example, RT2 transition lip 1 described later) in the internal lottery in the ART mode. Transmits to the control processing unit 200 a correct answer order command for causing the sub monitor 6 to display the correct answer order corresponding to the winning area. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the correct striking order command, the rendering device control unit 201 controls to display the correct striking order information (batting order rendering) included in the correct striking order command on the sub monitor 6. For example, when the RT2 transition lip 1 is won in the internal lottery in the ART mode, the effect mode control means 108 includes the correct batting order command including information on the batting order 1 (correct batting order) associated with the RT2 transition lip 1. Is transmitted to the control processing unit 200, and when the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the correct hitting order command, the rendering device control unit 201 displays information on the hitting order 1 (batting order effect) on the sub monitor 6. In the ART mode in RT1, when the RT2 transition lip 1 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button is operated in the batting order 1, the symbol combination for shifting the gaming state from RT1 to RT2 becomes the effective line L. Displayed and the gaming state is shifted from RT1 to RT2.

  When the production mode control means 108 transmits the correct answer order command to the control processing unit 200, the main monitor control means 109 displays the order information that corresponds to the correct answer order information included in the correct answer order command. Control to display on.

  Next, each winning area, a combination associated with each winning area, a combination of symbols associated with the winning combination, and a transition of the gaming state will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4 to 8. 4 and 5, the “batting order” refers to the operating order of the stop buttons 16a to 16c, and “batting order 1” refers to the order of the left stop button 16a → the middle stop button 16b → the right stop button 16c, Similarly, “batting order 2” is left → right → middle order, “batting order 3” is center → left → right order, “batting order 4” is center → right → left order, and “batting order 5” is right. → Left → Middle order, “Strike 6” means right → Middle → Left order.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment example, 47 types of winning areas are provided, and one or a plurality of roles correspond to each winning area except “unwinning” of winning area number 0. It is attached. Specifically, a normal game-RT3 transition lip 6 (winning area numbers 1-30) and replaying role (REP1-19), batting order 1-1-1 strong cherry (winning area numbers 31-45) The small combination (NML1-14), CBB1 (winning area number 46) are associated with the CBB combination, and CBB2 (winning area number 47) are associated with both the CBB combination and the replaying combination (REP1).

  The normal lip (winning area number 1) is associated with REP1, which is a re-gamer, and the normal lip is subject to internal lottery in non-RT and non-RT internal CBBs (FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 6, the symbol combinations associated with REP1 are “replay symbols” arranged in the symbol row 31a, “replay symbols” arranged in the symbol row 31b, and “replays” arranged in the symbol row 31c. It consists of “design”. In the following description, the symbol combination associated with the combination is expressed as “the symbol arranged in the symbol column 31a” − “the symbol arranged in the symbol column 31b” − “the symbol arranged in the symbol column 31c”. To do.

  The symbol combination “replay symbol” − “replay symbol” − “replay symbol” is associated with REP1 associated with the normal lip (FIG. 6), and the replay symbol is a symbol string as shown in FIG. In any of 31a to 31c, the reels are evenly arranged at intervals of four frames, up to a range of four frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames of the reel. As described above, the reel control means 104 stops each reel so that the symbols positioned within the range of four frames are displayed on the effective line L with reference to the symbols displayed at the position of the effective line L. For this reason, when the normal lip is won in the internal lottery in the non-RT, the reel control means 104 stops to always display the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. . In the following description, a symbol that is always displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, such as a replay symbol, is referred to as a “complete symbol” and is a symbol combination associated with REP1. Thus, regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, the symbol combination that is always displayed on the active line L is called “complete symbol combination” (so-called PB = 1).

  Detailed explanations about 7-set lip, 7-turn lip, weak cherry lip, strong cherry lip, middle cherry lip 1, middle cherry lip 2 (winning area numbers 2-7) are omitted, but for example, middle cherry lip 2 is an object of internal lottery at RT1, and the effect mode control means 108 performs an ART lottery when the middle stage cherry lip 2 is won in RT1 in the non-ART mode. In addition, for example, 7-round lips are subject to internal lottery at RT4, and the presentation mode control means 108 performs the lottery by adding the number of ART games in response to the winning of the 7-round lip in RT4 in the ART mode.

  REPs 10, 11, and 16 are associated with the RT4 transition lip (winning area number 8) (FIG. 4). Are associated with each other (FIG. 6). When the RT4 transition lip is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 can display the symbol combination corresponding to the RT4 transition lip on the effective line L according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. This will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the symbol row 31a, two white BAR symbols are arranged at symbol numbers 8 and 18, and these two white BAR symbols are 9 frames exceeding the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames. Arranged at intervals. For this reason, when the RT4 transition lip is won in the internal lottery, any symbol in the region of symbol numbers 12-8, 2-0, 19, 18 in the symbol sequence 31a (hereinafter referred to as a retractable region) is effective. When the left stop button 16a is operated when displayed on the line L, the reel control means 104 stops the left reel 30a so as to display the white BAR symbol of symbol number 8 or symbol number 18 on the effective line L. Let On the other hand, when the RT4 transition lip is won in the internal lottery, when the left stop button 16a is operated in the area of the symbol numbers 7 to 3 and 17 to 13 (hereinafter referred to as a non-retractable region) in the symbol row 31a. The reel control means 104 stops the left reel 30a so as not to display the white BAR symbol on the effective line L. As described above, the replay symbol in the symbol row 31b is a complete symbol that is always displayed on the active line L. Furthermore, in the symbol row 31c, the bell 1 symbol and the bell 2 symbol (hereinafter simply referred to as bell). 5) are equally arranged at intervals of 3 frames within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames, so the bell symbol in the symbol row 31c is also a complete symbol. As described above, among the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the RT4 transition lip, the white BAR symbol cannot be displayed on the effective line L depending on the operation timing of the stop button (hereinafter referred to as a spilled symbol). Since the replay symbol and the bell symbol are complete symbols, the reel control means 104 can display the symbol combination corresponding to the RT4 transition lip on the effective line L according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. In the following description, the symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line L according to the operation mode of the stop button, such as the symbol combination associated with REP11, is “symbol combination with spill” (so-called PB ≠ 1). Say.

  The RT4 transition lip is subject to internal lottery at RT1 to RT3. The RT4 transition lip is won by the internal lottery at RT1 to 3, and the symbol combination corresponding to REP10 or REP11 is displayed on the effective line L. In the case of being played, the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state to RT4 (A4 in FIG. 8).

  REPs 1 and 2 are associated with the ART lip (winning area number 15), and the ART lip is subject to internal lottery at RT3 to RT4, RT3 internal CBB to RT4 internal CBB, and RT3CBB to RT4CBB ( FIG. 4). When the ART lip is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB, the reel control means 104 displays the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination associated with the ART lip on the active line L. Stop the reel. On the other hand, when winning the ART lip in the internal lottery in the CBB, the small combination associated with the medal number adjustment area (winning area number 43), which will be described later, rather than the re-playing combination associated with the ART lip. And the reel is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the active line L. In addition, as will be described in detail, the ART lip is a winning area (hereinafter referred to as “the CBB”) that allows the player to acquire more medals (27) than the total 14 medals to be paid out, which is the CBB termination condition. This is called a CBB number adjustable lip.).

  REP1, 7, and 16 are associated with RT3 falling lip 1 (winning area number 16), and RT3 falling lip 1 is subject to internal lottery at RT4, RT4 internal CBB, and RT4CBB. When the RT3 falling lip 1 is won in the internal lottery at RT4, if the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 or batting order 2 (correct answer batting order), the reel control means 104 corresponds to REP1 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The reel is stopped so that the symbol combination to be displayed is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state control means 107 maintains the gaming state at RT4. On the other hand, when the RT3 falling lip 1 is won in the internal lottery at RT4 and the stop button is operated in the batting order 3 to 6 (incorrect answer batting order), the reel control means 104 makes REP7 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The game state control means 107 shifts the gaming state from RT4 to RT3 (B3 in FIG. 8). That is, the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 is a symbol combination that triggers the transition to RT3.

  Similarly to the ART lip, the RT3 falling lip 1 functions as a winning area (CBB number adjustable lip) that allows the player to acquire 27 medals in the RT4CBB. This will be described in detail when the medal count adjustment area (winning area number 43) is described.

  In addition, the RT3 falling lip 1 functions as a winning area for adding the number of ART games (giving a privilege) in the RT4 internal CBB in the ART mode. That is, in the RT4 internal CBB, when the RT3 falling lip 1 is won, the effect mode control means 108 performs lottery by adding whether or not to add the number of ART games to the ART game number storage area 120. When the RT3 falling lip 1 is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB and the stop button is operated, the stop mode of the reel becomes the first special stop mode associated with REP16 (special role).

  The first special stop mode will be described in detail. When the RT3 falling lip 1 is won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the reel control means 104 makes the REP1 associated with the RT3 falling lip 1 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. , 7 has priority over REP16, and the reels are stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to REP16 is displayed on the effective line L. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7 (1), the reel stop mode is “replay symbol”-“replay symbol”-“star symbol”, “replay symbol”-“replay symbol”-“white BAR symbol”, And “replay symbol”-“replay symbol”-“cherry symbol” (hereinafter referred to as “special symbol combination T”), any symbol combination is displayed in the middle stage (effective line L) of each reel 30a-c. It becomes the 1st special stop mode. For this reason, the player can know that the extra lottery has been performed because the reel stop mode is the first special stop mode.

  In addition, when the RT3 falling lip 1 is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the reel control means 104 displays the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 on the effective line L according to the operation mode of the stop button. It may be stopped. Here, the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 is a symbol combination that triggers the transition to RT3. However, since RT4 internal CBB is in a state where the winning flag for the CBB role is established, it corresponds to REP7 in RT4 internal CBB. Even if the symbol combination to be displayed is displayed on the activated line L, the gaming state control means 107 controls so that the gaming state is not shifted from the RT4 internal CBB to the RT3.

  REP 1, 2, 7, and 16 are associated with RT3 falling lip 2 (winning area number 17) (FIG. 4). Although the detailed description is omitted, RT3 falling lip 2 functions as a winning area that triggers the transition to RT3 in RT4, as in RT3 falling lip 1. The RT4 CBB functions as a winning area (CBB number adjustable lip) that can acquire 27 medals.

  REP7, 17, and 19 are associated with RT3 falling lip 3 (winning area number 18) (FIG. 4). RT3 fall lip 3 functions as a winning area that triggers the transition to RT3 in RT4, similar to RT3 falling lip 1 and 2, and as a winning area that triggers an extra lottery in RT4 internal CBB (privilege grant) It functions and functions as a winning area (CBB number adjustable lip) that can acquire 27 medals in RT4CBB. Specifically, among the replaying roles associated with RT3 falling Lip 3, REP7 is a replaying role that triggers the transition to RT3, and REP17 (special role) is added and the lottery execution opportunity (privilege granting) It is a re-game player who becomes an opportunity, and REP 19 is a re-game player for maintaining RT4.

  Here, the privilege granting function in the RT4 internal CBB of the RT3 falling lip 3 will be described in detail. When winning the RT3 fall lip 3 in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the production mode control means 108 performs the extra lottery, and the reel control means 104 is associated with the RT3 fall lip 3 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The REP 17 is prioritized over the REPs 7 and 19, and the reel is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to the REP 17 is displayed on the effective line L. As shown in FIG. 6, the symbol combination associated with REP 17 is “bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol”-“white BAR symbol or watermelon 1 symbol”-“red 7 symbol or watermelon 1 symbol or watermelon 2 symbol”. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7 (2), the reels are stopped in the second special stop mode in which the special symbol combination T is displayed in the lower stage of each reel 30a-c. For this reason, the player can know that the extra lottery has been performed because the reel stop mode is the second special stop mode. In the following description, the RT3 fall lips 1 to 3 are simply referred to as “RT3 fall lips”.

  REP 1 and 4 are associated with RT2 transition lip 1 (winning area number 19), and RT2 transition lip 1 is subject to internal lottery at RT1 (FIG. 4). When the RT2 transition Lip 1 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 (correct answer batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to REP4 (see FIG. The reel is stopped so that 6) is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state control means 107 shifts (promotes) the gaming state from RT1 to RT2 (A2 in FIG. 8). On the other hand, when the RT2 transition lip 1 is won in the internal lottery and the stop button is operated in a batting order other than batting order 1 (incorrect answer batting order), the reel control means 104 assigns the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 to the effective line L The game state control means 107 controls the game state to be maintained at RT1. The RT2 transition lips 2 to 6 are different from the RT2 transition lip 1 only in the correct answer order and the other configurations are the same, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  REP1, 7 to 9 are associated with RT3 transition lip 1 (winning area number 25), and RT3 transition lip 1 is subject to internal lottery at RT2 (FIG. 4). When the RT3 transition Lip 1 is won in the internal lottery and the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 (correct answer batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 ( The reel is stopped to display the active line L in FIG. 6), and the gaming state control means 107 shifts (promotes) the gaming state from RT2 to RT3 (A3 in FIG. 8). On the other hand, when the RT3 transition lip 1 is won in the internal lottery at RT2, if the stop button is operated in a batting order other than batting order 1 (incorrect answer batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button, the reel control means 104 The reel is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to REP8 or REP9 (FIG. 6) is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state control means 107 shifts (falls) the gaming state from RT2 to RT1 (in FIG. 8). B1). The RT3 transition lips 2 to 6 are different from the RT3 transition lip 1 only in the correct answer order, and the other configurations are the same, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  NML 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 13 are associated with batting order bell 1-1 (winning area number 31) (FIG. 5). When the winning order bell 1-1 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button is operated in the hit order 1 (correct hit order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to NML1 ( When the reels are stopped so that FIG. 6) is displayed on the effective line L and the stop button is operated in a batting order other than the batting order 1 (incorrect answer batting order), NML 3, 4, 6, The reel is stopped to display the symbol combination corresponding to any of the small combinations of 9, 10, and 13.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the number of payout medals associated with NML1 in advance among the small combinations associated with the batting order bell 1-1 is set to 9 and associated with other small combinations. The number of paid out medals is set to 1 each. Therefore, in order for NML1 that can acquire the most medals out of the small roles associated with batting order bell 1-1 to be displayed on the active line L and win a prize, the batting order bell 1-1 is won in the internal lottery. It is necessary to operate the stop button in the batting order 1 (correct answer batting order), and if the stop button is operated in a batting order other than the batting order 1 (incorrect answer batting order), 9 medals cannot be obtained. It is like that. In addition, when the batting order bell 1-1 is won in the internal lottery at RT2, the stop button is operated in any of the batting orders 2 to 6 (incorrect answer batting order), and any of the small roles corresponding to the batting order bell 1-1 When no winning is made (hereinafter referred to as bell spillage), the gaming state control means 107 shifts (falls) the gaming state from RT2 to RT1 (B1 in FIG. 8). For example, when the stop button is operated in the batting order 6 when the batting order 1-1 is won in the internal lottery at RT2, the combination of symbols corresponding to NML10, NML13 or BLK1 (FIG. 6) is displayed on the active line L. obtain. At this time, if NML10 or NML13 wins according to the operation timing of the stop button, one medal is paid out and the gaming state is maintained at RT2, but if neither NML10 nor NML13 wins The symbol combination (FIG. 6) corresponding to BLK1 is displayed on the active line L without any medals being paid out, and the game state is shifted from RT2 to RT1. In the following description, batting order bell 1-1 to batting order bell 6-2 are simply referred to as “batting order bell”.

  Although detailed description of batting order bell 2-1 to batting order bell 6-2 (winning area numbers 32 to 42) is omitted, as shown in FIG. A plurality of small roles are associated with each other, and the NML 1 capable of acquiring nine medals is associated with all of the batting order bells 2-1 to 6-2. Similarly to the batting order bell 1-1, the correct batting order capable of displaying the combination of symbols corresponding to NML1 on the effective line L is associated with each batting order bell, and any one of the internal lotteries in RT2 to RT4 When the hitting order bell is won and the stop button is operated in the incorrect answering order and the result is “bell spilling”, the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state to RT1 (B1, B2 in FIG. 8). Further, the game state control means 107 shifts the gaming state from non-RT to RT1 when the stop button is operated in the incorrect answer hit order and becomes “bell spill” when the winning order bell is won in the internal lottery in non-RT (see FIG. A1 in 8).

  NML 15 to 18 are associated with the medal number adjustment area (winning area number 43), and the medal number adjustment area is subject to internal lottery in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB (FIG. 5). Of the small roles associated with the medal number adjustment area, the number of payout medals for NML 15 to 16 (first small role) is set to 13, and the number of payout medals for NML 17 to 18 (second small role) is set to 14. (FIG. 6). When the medal number adjustment area is won in the internal lottery and the stop button is operated in the batting order 1-2, the reel control means 104 gives priority to NML17-18 over NML15-16 and corresponds to NML17-18. The reel is stopped so that the symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L, and the medal payout control means 105 pays out 14 medals. On the other hand, when the stop button is operated in the hit order 3-6, the reel control means 104 gives priority to NML15-16 over NML17-18, and displays the symbol combination corresponding to NML15-16 on the effective line L. While stopping the reel, the medal payout control means 105 pays out 13 medals.

  As described above, in RT4CBB, the winning flags relating to all the small roles are established, and when either the ART lip or RT3 falling lip (CBB number adjustable lip) is won in the internal lottery in RT4CBB The reel control means 104 gives priority to the medal number adjustment area over the CBB number adjustable Lip, and displays the symbol combination related to the small role associated with the medal number adjustment area on the effective line L. Stop. At this time, when the effect mode is the ART mode, the batting order effects relating to the batting orders 3 to 6 are displayed on the sub-monitor 6, and when the stop button is operated in accordance with this display, the reel control means 104 performs all the operations in the RT4CBB. Due to the fact that the winning combination flag is established, the reels are stopped so that the symbol combinations associated with NML 15 to 16 are displayed on the active line L, and the medal payout means 105 pays out 13 medals, The gaming state control means 107 maintains the gaming state at RT4CBB when the total number of medals paid out, which is the CBB termination condition, has not reached 14. Then, the game state of the next game will stay in RT4CBB following the current game, and if the CBB number adjustment lip is won in the internal lottery in the next game, the batting order related to batting order 1-2 will be displayed on the sub-monitor 6 When the effect is displayed and the stop button is operated according to this display, the reel control means 104 displays the symbol combination associated with NML 17 to 18 on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The medal payout means 105 has paid out 14 medals, and the gaming state control means 107 has reached the 27th (13 + 14 = 27) with the total number of medals paid out in RT4CBB exceeding 14. Thus, RT4CBB is terminated and the gaming state is shifted to the original RT4 which is a non-internal CBB. Thereby, winning of the CBB number adjustable lip (ART lip, RT3 falling lip) in RT4CBB makes it possible for the player to acquire 27 medals. If the CBB number adjustable lip is not won in the internal lottery in the next game, the reel control means 104 will cause all wins for all small roles in RT4CBB. The reels are stopped so that the combination of symbols associated with the medal payout number having the largest medal payout number is displayed on the effective line L (payout number priority control). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in RT4CBB, among the medal payout numbers determined for each small role, the most medal payout number is 14, so that the CBB number adjustable lip was won in the next game. As in the case, the medal payout means 105 pays out 14 medals, and the gaming state control means 107 terminates RT4CBB when the total number of medals paid out in RT4CBB exceeds 14, and changes the gaming state to the non-internal CBB. To the original RT4.

  On the other hand, in the internal lottery that was first performed after the gaming state shifted from RT4 internal CBB to RT4CBB, if the CBB number adjustable lip was not won, the reel control means 104 would make all small roles in RT4CBB. Due to the fact that the winning flag is established, the reel is stopped so as to display the symbol combination associated with the small combination having the largest medal payout number among all the small combinations on the active line L, and the medal paying means 105 pays out 14 medals, and the gaming state control means 107 terminates RT4CBB and shifts the gaming state to the original RT4 which is a non-internal CBB when the total number of medals paid out in RT4CBB exceeds 14. .

  Note that, unlike the RT3 fall-down lip, the ART lip is also subject to internal lottery even in the RT3 internal CBB. Therefore, in the RT3 internal CBB in the ART mode, when the ART lip is won by internal lottery, 27 medals are paid out on condition that the stop button is operated in accordance with the batting order effect displayed on the sub monitor 6. Will be.

  NML 14 and 19 are associated with strong cherries (winning area number 45), and strong cherries are subject to internal lottery in non-internal CBB and internal CBB (FIG. 5). As shown in FIG. 6, the NML 14 includes “bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol” — “red 7 symbol or black BAR” — “red 7 symbol, watermelon 1 symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol” ( (Hereinafter referred to as the first special symbol combination) and NML 19 is associated with “white BAR symbol”-“cherry symbol”-“red 7 symbol, bell 1 symbol, bell 2 symbol or white BAR symbol” (hereinafter referred to as “white BAR symbol”). , Referred to as a second special symbol combination).

  Among the symbols constituting the first special symbol combination of the NML 14, the bell symbols in the symbol row 31a (Bell 1 symbol, Bell 2 symbol) are always displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Similarly, the bell symbol in the symbol row 31c is also a complete symbol. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the red 7 symbol and the black BAR symbol in the symbol row 31b are arranged in symbol numbers 2, 7, and 17, respectively, and symbol number 2, symbol number 7, symbol number 17, and symbol number 2 Is the symbol number that exists within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames, but symbol number 7 and symbol number 17 exist at intervals of 9 frames exceeding the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames. This is the symbol number. For this reason, among the symbols constituting the first special symbol combination, the red 7 symbol and the black BAR symbol in the symbol row 31b are spilled symbols. Therefore, the first special symbol combination is a spilled symbol combination, and when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 is associated with the NML 14 according to the operation mode of the middle stop button 16b. The first special symbol combination can be displayed on the active line L.

  Among the symbols constituting the second special symbol combination of NML 19, the white BAR symbols in the symbol row 31a are spilled symbols that cannot be displayed on the active line L depending on the operation timing of the stop button, as described above. Since four cherry symbols in the symbol row 31b are arranged at intervals of four frames within a range of four frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames, they are complete symbols. Here, the red 7 symbol, the bell 1 symbol, the bell 2 symbol, and the white BAR symbol in the symbol row 31c are arranged in symbol numbers 2, 4, 5, 9, 13, 15, and 17, respectively, and symbol number 2 and symbol number 4, symbol number 4 and symbol number 5, symbol number 5 and symbol number 9, symbol number 9 and symbol number 13, symbol number 13 and symbol number 15, symbol number 15 and symbol number 17, symbol number 17 and symbol number 2 are Since the symbol numbers exist within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames, respectively (FIG. 2), they are complete symbols. Therefore, the second special symbol combination is a spilled symbol combination, and when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 is associated with the NML 19 according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. The second special symbol combination can be displayed on the active line L.

  Thus, the first special symbol combination of the NML 14 is composed of the complete symbol arranged in the symbol column 31a, the spilled symbol arranged in the symbol column 31b, and the complete symbol arranged in the symbol column 31c. The two special symbol combinations are composed of a spilled symbol arranged in the symbol row 31a, a complete symbol arranged in the symbol row 31b, and a complete symbol arranged in the symbol row 31c (see FIG. 11). For this reason, in NML14 and NML19, the reel (symbol row | line | column) by which the symbol with a spill which cannot be displayed on the effective line L is arrange | positioned by the operation timing of a stop button mutually differs. Then, NML14 and NML19 having different reels with spilled symbols are associated with strong cherries that are the same winning area. The manner in which the first special symbol combination or the second special symbol combination is displayed on the active line L when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery will be described in detail later.

  A CBB role (specific role) is associated with CBB1 (winning area number 46) alone, and CBB1 is a non-internal CBB (non-RT, RT1 to 4) and is subject to internal lottery (FIG. 5). . “Replay symbol” − “Bell 1 symbol or Bell 2 symbol” − “Bell 1 symbol or Bell 2 symbol” is associated with the CBB role (FIG. 6). All symbols constituting the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination are complete symbols that are always displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button in the symbol arrays 31a to 31c. Therefore, the CBB symbol combination is a complete symbol combination, and when CBB1 is won by internal lottery, the reel control means 104 displays the CBB symbol combination on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Stop the reel. The game state control means 107 ends the non-internal CBB and shifts to the internal CBB when CBB1 is won in the internal lottery, and ends the internal CBB and shifts to the CBB when the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L ( FIG. 8).

  The CBB combination (specific combination) and REP1 (normal combination) are associated with CBB2 (winning area number 47), and CBB2 is a non-internal CBB (non-RT, RT1 to 4) and is subject to internal lottery. It has become. When CBB2 is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, the gaming state control means 107 ends the non-internal CBB and shifts to the internal CBB (FIG. 8). Here, the CBB symbol combination is a complete symbol combination, and the symbol combination associated with REP1 is also a complete symbol combination. However, the reel control means 104 replays more than the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination in the internal CBB. The reel is controlled (first combination priority control) so that the symbol combination corresponding to the combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L. When CBB2 is won in the internal lottery, the gaming state shifts to the internal CBB. However, since the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L, the gaming state control means 107 maintains the gaming state in the internal CBB. Then, in the internal CBB, when the winning area “unwinning (winning area number 0)” in which the result of the internal lottery is lost is won, the winning flag for the CBB role is independently established, so the reel control The means 104 stops the reel so that the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, and the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state from the internal CBB to the CBB.

  Next, the winning probability of the winning area that varies with the transition of the gaming state will be described with reference to FIGS. The “rare role lip in RT1” shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is a weak cherry lip, a middle cherry lip 2, a strong water lip, a weak water lip 1, 2 and a chance slip without a slip, which trigger the ART lottery. , "Rare role lip in RT3" is a collective term for the number of ART games, and 7 lots of lip, weak cherry lip, middle cherry lip 1, strong water lip, weak water lip 1, 2. Chance lip without slip and slip chance lip, “Rare role lip in RT4” means 7 lots of lip, strong cherry lip, middle cherry lip 1, strong water lip, no slip A collective term for chance lip and slip chance lip. Further, illustration and description of the non-RT and non-RT internal CBB are omitted.

  In RT1, the winning probability of the re-gamer, that is, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gamer is set to about 1/7 (the number of random values for internal lottery is 8978), and the breakdown is as follows. The winning probability of RT2 transition lip is 1 / 8.2 (7955 random numbers for internal lottery), the rare role lip winning probability is 3/256 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 768), CBB2 winning The probability is 1/256 (256 random numbers for internal lottery). Also, the winning probability of RT1 is set to a relatively high probability of 1 / 1.8 (the number of random numbers for internal lottery is 35811), and the winning probability of CBB1 in which the CBB combination is independently associated. Is set to 1/16 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 4096), and the winning probability of strong cherry in RT1 is set to 1/256 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 256). Since the rare role lip (3/256) and strong cherry (1/256) are the winning areas that trigger the ART lottery, the expected value for the ART lottery in one game at RT1 is 1/64 (3 / 256 + 1/256 = 4/256).

  As with RT1, in RT1 internal CBB which shifts when CBB2 wins at RT1, the winning probability of the re-gamer (winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gamer) is set to about 1/7. The winning probabilities for the rare role lip (3/256) and strong cherry (1/256) that trigger the execution of the ART lottery are set to 1/64 (3/256 + 1/256 = 4/256). (FIG. 9).

  In RT2, compared to RT1, RT3 transition lip is the subject of internal lottery instead of RT2 transition lip, but because it is set to the same winning probability as RT1 such as winning probability of re-gamer and CBB2, Illustration and description are omitted.

  In RT3, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 1.5 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 44778), and the breakdown is the winning probability of the ART lip. Is about 1 / 1.5 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 43690), the winning probability of rare role lip is 3/256 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 768), RT4 triggering the transition to RT4 The winning probability of the transition lip is 1/1024 (number of random numbers for internal lottery is 64), and the winning probability of CBB2 is 1/256 (number of random numbers for internal lottery is 256). In RT3, the winning probability of unsuccessful winning is set to 0, the winning probability of CBB1 is set to 1/16 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 4096), and the winning probability of strong cherry in RT3 is 1/256 (internal lottery) 256 random number values for use). Since the rare role Lip (3/256) and strong cherry (1/256) are winning areas that trigger the extra lottery in RT3, the expected value for the extra lottery in RT3 is 1/64 (3/256 + 1 / 256 = 4/256).

  In RT4, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gamer (hereinafter referred to as the RT4 re-game winning probability) is set to about 1 / 1.5, which is the same as RT3. The winning probability for the lip is about 1 / 5.6 (11700 random numbers for internal lottery), the winning probability for the rare role lip is 1/4 (16384 random numbers for internal lottery), falls to RT3 The winning probability of the RT3 falling lip as a trigger is 1/4 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 16384), and the winning probability of CBB2 is 1/256 (number of random numbers for internal lottery 256). In RT4, the winning probability of unsuccessful is set to 0, the winning probability of CBB1 is set to 1/16 (4096 random numbers for internal lottery), and the winning probability of strong cherry is 1/256 (internal The number of random numbers for lottery is 256). Since the rare role lip (1/4) and strong cherry (1/256) are winning areas that trigger the extra lottery, the expected value for the extra lottery at RT4 is about 1/4 (1/4 + 1/256). ) Therefore, it can be said that RT4 is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than RT3.

  In the RT4 internal CBB, the winning area associated with the re-gamer (hereinafter referred to as the RT4 internal CBB re-game win probability) is set to about 1 / 1.5 which is the same as the RT4 re-game player probability. The breakdown is that the winning probability of the ART lip is about 1 / 5.6, the winning probability of the rare role lip is 1/4, the winning probability of the RT3 falling lip is 1/4, and the winning probability of the normal lip is 1 / 256. Here, as described above, the RT3 falling lip functions as a winning area for transferring the gaming state to RT3 in RT4, but functions as a winning area for executing the extra lottery in the RT4 internal CBB. When the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery in the CBB, the reel control means 104 displays the symbol combination associated with the re-gamer (REP16, 17), which becomes the trigger for the extra lottery, on the active line L. Stop. For this reason, in the RT4 internal CBB, in addition to the rare role lip (1/4) and strong cherry (1/256), the RT3 falling lip (1/4) is the winning area that triggers the lottery. As a result, the expected value for the extra lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is about 1/2 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/4).

  Thus, in this embodiment, the internal lottery means 102 has a rare role rep that triggers the execution of the ART lottery in the RT1 internal CBB (first specific gaming state), when the winning probability of the re-gamer is about 1/7. The internal lottery is performed with reference to the winning probability lottery table where the winning probability of the strong cherry is 1/64. In the RT4 internal CBB, the winning probability of the re-gamer is about 1 / 1.5, and the ART game number of times is added. The internal lottery is performed with reference to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the rare role lip, the strong cherry and the RT3 fall-off lip that becomes the execution opportunity is about 1/2.

  By the way, according to the “Rules for Game Machine Approval and Type Approval, etc.”, the probability that the condition device related to re-gaming will be activated is the condition device related to the operation of the first type special feature or the continuous action device Therefore, even in the slot machine S according to the present embodiment, the winning probability of the re-playing role can be changed with the winning of the CBB role. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the RT4 replay win probability (about 1 / 1.5) and the RT4 internal CBB replay win probability (about 1 / 1.5) are set to be the same. In other words, the winning probability of the re-game player is not changed when the CBB player wins. Here, in the RT4 internal CBB, since the winning flag for the CBB combination is established, the winning probability of CBB1 and CBB2 is 0, but in this embodiment, the internal corresponding to CBB1 in RT4 The number of random numbers for lottery “4096” is directly associated with the unsuccessful unmatched role, and the unsuccessful winning probability is 1/16, and the internal lottery associated with CBB2 The number of random numbers “256” is directly associated with the normal replay associated with REP1, and the winning probability of the normal lip is 1/256. In other words, when the winning of the CBB role is triggered, the winning probability of the replaying role is not changed between RT4 (non-internal CBB) and RT4 internal CBB (internal CBB), and the replaying probability of RT4 and replaying of RT4 internal CBB is changed. In order to hold the winning probability with the same probability (about 1 / 1.5), the internal lottery means 102 has a winning probability of 0/65536 in the winning area “Choice” and the winning area “CBB1” in RT4. An internal lottery is performed with reference to a winning probability lottery table with a winning probability of 1/16, and in the RT4 internal CBB, a winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of RT4 and the winning probability of CBB1 in RT4 are replaced, Refer to the winning probability lottery table where the winning probability of the winning area “unselected” is 1/16 and the winning probability of the winning area “CBB1” is 0/65536. The lottery is carried out.

  Thus, since the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gamer is set to about 1/7 for RT1 and RT2, and about 1 / 1.5 for RT3 and RT4, in RT3 and RT4, It is easier to win the winning area related to the re-game than RT1 and RT2, and the game can be advanced while suppressing the consumption of medals. In RT3 and RT4, the effect mode may stay in the ART mode. In this ART mode, the correct answer order related to the hit order bell is displayed on the main monitor 10 and the sub monitor 6. Therefore, in the ART mode, it is easy to acquire medals, and the game can be advanced while suppressing the consumption of medals.

  In this embodiment, when the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery of RT4, the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying role (REP7, etc.) other than the special role (REP16, REP17) that triggers the extra lottery. The reel stop control is performed so that is displayed on the active line L, but the game state is shifted from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB due to the winning of CBB2 in the RT4 internal lottery, and the winning flag of the CBB role is established In this case, the reel stop control is changed, and if the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination (REP16, REP17) that triggers the extra lottery will be activated. The reel stop control is performed so as to display on L (so that the reel stop mode becomes the first and second special stop modes). As described above, the slot machine S according to the present embodiment performs the reel stop control so that the winning probability of the special role serving as the trigger for the extra lottery is high with the transition from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB. It has been changed to increase the expected value for the extra lottery.

  Next, the reel stop mode when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 shows the case where the left stop button 30a is operated first among the stop buttons 30a to 30c, FIG. 13 shows the case where the middle stop button 30b is operated first among the stop buttons 30a to 30c, and FIG. This is a description of the reel stop mode when the right stop button 30c of the stop buttons 30a to 30c is first operated. For convenience of explanation, among the first special symbol combinations associated with the NML 14, the symbols (Bell 1 symbol or Bell 2 symbol) arranged in the symbol row 31a are referred to as "left symbol of NML 14", symbol row 31b. The symbols (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) arranged in the “NML14 middle symbol” and symbols arranged in the symbol column 31c (red 7 symbol, watermelon 1 symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, bell 1 symbol or bell) 2 symbols) will be referred to as “NML14 right symbol”. Similarly, in the second special symbol combination associated with NML 19, the symbol (white BAR symbol) arranged in symbol column 31a is designated as “left symbol of NML19”, and the symbol (cherry) arranged in symbol column 31b. The symbol “NML19's middle symbol” and the symbols (red 7 symbol, bell 1 symbol, bell 2 symbol or white BAR symbol) arranged in the symbol row 31c are referred to as “NML19 right symbol”. To do.

Figure 11:
When a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery, the winning flags of NML14 and NML19 are established in duplicate, so the symbol candidates displayed on the active line L are as shown in FIG.

FIG. 12 (1) to (3):
Assume that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol of symbol number 3 in the symbol row 31a comes to the position of the active line L as shown in FIG. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbol (symbol number 3), replay symbol (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbol (symbol number 1). No.), watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 0), and cherry symbol (symbol number 19). For this reason, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19, which is a spilled symbol, is not displayed on the active line L, and the left symbol (bell 1) of NML14, which is a complete symbol, is displayed as shown in FIG. Among the symbols or the bell 2 symbols), the bell 1 symbol within the pull-in range is displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG.

FIG. 12 (4a), (4b):
The NML14 medium symbol (7 red symbols and black BAR symbol), which is a candidate for the symbol displayed on the effective line L, is a spilled symbol, which can be displayed on the effective line L. The region is a region other than symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b (see FIG. 2). Therefore, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L, the middle symbol (red 7) of the NML 14 is displayed. The middle reel 30b is stopped so as to display the symbol and the black BAR symbol on the effective line L (FIG. 12 (4a)). On the other hand, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region of symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L, the middle symbol (red 7 symbol and red symbol) of the NML 14 is operated. The middle reel 30b is stopped so that symbols other than the black BAR symbol) are displayed on the active line L (FIG. 12 (4b)).

FIG. 12 (5a), (5b):
NML14's right symbol (red 7 symbol, watermelon 1 symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol) is a complete symbol that is always displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. When the right stop button 16c is operated, the right symbol of the NML 14 is displayed on the active line L. Therefore, when the right symbol (bell 1 symbol) and middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of the NML 14 are displayed on the effective line L (FIG. 12 (4a)), the right stop button 16c is operated. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (5a), the first special symbol combination associated with the NML 14 is displayed on the active line L, and the medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of the NML 14 is not displayed on the active line L (FIG. 12 (4b)), when the right stop button 16c is operated, the state shown in FIG. 12 (5b) is displayed. As shown, the symbol combinations of both NML 14 and NML 19 are not displayed on the active line L, and so-called small roles are missed and medals are not paid out.

FIG. 13 (1) to (3):
As shown in FIG. 13, it is assumed that the middle stop button 16b is operated when the symbol number 15 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L in a state where the winning flags of the NML 14 and the NML 19 are overlapped. To do. In this case, symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15), cherry symbol (symbol number 14) among symbols arranged in the symbol row 31b. No.), bell 2 symbol (symbol number 13), star symbol (symbol number 12), and replay symbol (symbol number 11). For this reason, the middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of the NML 14 that is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates displayed on the active line L become the second special symbol combination associated with the NML 19 as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the stop button 16b is operated within the pull-in range, the middle symbol (cherry symbol), which is a complete symbol, is displayed on the effective line L as shown in FIG.

FIG. 13 (4a), (4b):
The left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 is a spilled symbol, and the retractable area in which the left symbol of the NML 19 can be displayed on the effective line L is the symbol numbers 12 to 8 in the symbol column 31a as described above. And regions of symbol numbers 2-0 and 19-18 (see FIG. 2). For this reason, the left stop button 16a is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the pull-in area (region of symbol numbers 12-8, region of symbol numbers 2-0 and 19-18) comes to the position of the effective line L. In such a case, the left reel 30a is stopped so that the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 is displayed on the effective line L as shown in FIG. 13 (4a). On the other hand, when the left stop button 16a is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region other than the pull-in region in the symbol row 31a comes to the position of the effective line L, as shown in FIG. 13 (4b), The left reel 30a is stopped so that symbols other than the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 are displayed on the active line L.

FIG. 13 (5a), (5b):
Since the right design (red 7 design, bell 1 or bell 2, white BAR design) of NML 19 is a complete design, the right design of NML 19 is displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the right stop button 16c. Therefore, when the left symbol (white BAR symbol) and the middle symbol (cherry symbol) of NML 19 are displayed on the effective line L (FIG. 13 (4a)), when the right stop button 16c is operated. As shown in FIG. 13 (5a), the second special symbol combination associated with the NML 19 is displayed on the active line L, and medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML 19 is not displayed on the effective line L (FIG. 13 (4b)), when the right stop button 16c is operated, as shown in FIG. 13 (5b). In addition, the symbol combinations of both NML 14 and NML 19 are not displayed on the active line L, and so-called small roles are missed and medals are not paid out.

FIG. 14 (1):
As shown in FIG. 14 (1), when the winning flags of NML14 and NML19 are overlapped and the symbol number 12 in the symbol row 31c comes to the position of the effective line L, the left stop button 16c is Suppose that it is operated. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are the star symbol (symbol number 12), the watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 11), and the replay symbol (symbol number 10). ), Bell 1 symbol (symbol number 9), cherry symbol (symbol number 8). Therefore, among the right symbols (7 red symbols, 1 watermelon symbol, 2 watermelon symbols, 1 bell symbol or 2 bell symbols) of NML14 which is a complete symbol, they are 7 red symbols, 1 watermelon symbol and 2 bell symbols, and a complete symbol. Among the NML 19 right symbols (red 7 symbol, bell 1 or bell 2, white BAR symbol), the red 7 symbol, bell 2 and white BAR symbol are not displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG.

14 (3) to (4):
As shown in FIG. 14 (2), the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the active line L in the symbol row 31c are the bell 1 symbol and the watermelon 2 symbol, both of which are symbol numbers in the symbol row 31c. It is a symbol (star symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, replay symbol, bell 1 symbol, cherry symbol) within the pull-in range when the left stop button 16c is operated when No. 12 comes to the position of the effective line L. Here, as shown in FIG. 14 (3), when the watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 11) in the symbol row 31c is displayed on the active line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is four. When the bell 1 symbol (symbol number 9) in the symbol row 31c is displayed on the active line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is five. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 (4), when the right stop button 16c is operated when the symbol corresponding to symbol number 12 in the symbol row 31c comes to the position of the effective line L, the number of symbol combinations is increased. The right reel 30c is stopped so as to display the largest number of bell 1 symbols on the effective line L (number priority control).

15 (1), (2a) to (4a):
In the state where the bell symbol 1 in the symbol row 31c is displayed on the effective line L, the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15 (2a), it is assumed that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol of symbol number 3 in the symbol row 31a comes to the position of the effective line L. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbol (symbol number 3), replay symbol (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbol (symbol number 1). No.), watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 0), and cherry symbol (symbol number 19). For this reason, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 is not displayed on the effective line L. As shown in FIG. 15 (3a), the bell that is the left symbol of NML19 among the symbols within the pull-in range. One symbol is displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG. 15 (4a).

FIG. 15 (5a-1), (5a-2):
Since the NML 14 middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) is a spilled symbol, the NML 14 middle symbol can be displayed on the active line L according to the operation mode of the middle stop button 16b. As described above, the pullable area where the middle symbol of the NML 14 can be displayed on the effective line L is a region other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b (see FIG. 2). Therefore, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L, FIG. 15 (5a-1) As shown, the middle reel 30b is stopped so that the middle symbol of the NML 14 is displayed on the effective line L. As a result, the first special symbol combination associated with the NML 14 is displayed on the active line L and medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region of symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L, it is shown in FIG. 15 (5a-2). As described above, the symbol combinations of both NML 14 and NML 19 are not displayed on the active line L, and so-called small roles are missed and medals are not paid out.

FIG. 15 (2b) to (4b):
Assume that the middle stop button 16b is operated when the watermelon 1 symbol of symbol number 15 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L as shown in FIG. 15 (2b). In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are: watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15), cherry symbol (symbol number 14), bell 2 symbol (symbol number 13) No.), star symbol (symbol number 12), and replay symbol (symbol number 11). For this reason, the middle symbols (seven red symbols, black BAR symbols) of the NML 14 that has a spilled pattern are not displayed on the active line L, and as shown in FIG. 15 (3b), the middle symbol of the NML 19 that is a complete symbol. A symbol (cherry symbol) is displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG. 15 (4b).

FIG. 15 (5b-1), (5b-2):
Since the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 is a missing symbol, the left symbol of the NML 19 can be displayed on the active line L in accordance with the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. As described above, the pull-in area of the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 is the region of symbol numbers 12 to 8 and the region of symbol numbers 2 to 0 and 19 to 18 in the symbol row 31a. When the left stop button 16a is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the area comes to the position of the effective line L, as shown in FIG. 15 (5b-1), the second special associated with the NML 19 The symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, and medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the left stop button 16a is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the area other than the pull-in area comes to the position of the effective line L, as shown in FIG. 15 (5b-2), NML 14 and Both symbol combinations of the NML 19 are not displayed on the active line L, so that a so-called small role is missed and medals are not paid out.

  As described above, when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, even if any one of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is operated first, depending on the operation mode of the stop button. In some cases, all of the winning combinations (NML14 and NML19) associated with the strong cherry are missed.

  Next, the reel stop mode when a strong cherry is won by internal lottery in the internal CBB will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 shows the case where the left stop button 30a is operated first among the stop buttons 30a to 30c, FIG. 18 shows the case where the middle stop button 30b is operated first among the stop buttons 30a to 30c, and FIG. This is a description of the reel stop mode when the right stop button 30c of the stop buttons 30a to 30c is first operated. Similarly to the description in FIGS. 11 to 15, for convenience of description, among the first special symbol combinations associated with the NML 14, the symbols arranged in the symbol string 31 a are “left symbol of NML 14”, the symbol string The symbol arranged in 31b is “middle symbol of NML14”, the symbol arranged in symbol row 31c is “right symbol of NML14”, and the symbol row in the second special symbol combination associated with NML19 The symbol arranged in 31a is “left symbol of NML19”, the symbol arranged in symbol row 31b is “middle symbol of NML19”, the symbol arranged in symbol row 31c is “right symbol of NML19” I will say. Of the CBB symbol combinations associated with the CBB role, the symbol (replay symbol) placed in the symbol row 31a is referred to as the “left symbol of the CBB role”, and the symbol placed in the symbol row 31b (bell 1 symbol). , Bell 2 symbol) is referred to as “CBB role middle symbol”, and symbols arranged in the symbol row 31c (Bell 1 symbol, Bell 2 symbol) are referred to as “CBB role right symbol”.

Figure 16:
When a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the internal CBB, the winning flags of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 are duplicated. For this reason, the symbol candidates displayed on the active line L are as shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 (1):
Assume that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol of symbol number 3 in the symbol row 31a comes to the position of the effective line L as shown in FIG. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbol (symbol number 3), replay symbol (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbol (symbol number 1). No.), watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 0), and cherry symbol (symbol number 19). For this reason, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19, which is a spilled symbol, is not displayed on the active line L, and as shown in FIG. 17 (2), the left symbol (bell 1) of NML14, which is a complete symbol. The symbol 1 or symbol 2 within the pull-in range of the symbol or the symbol 2) or the left symbol (replay symbol) of the CBB role that is a complete symbol can be displayed on the active line L.

FIG. 17 (3):
In the internal CBB, the reels are controlled so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is displayed on the effective line L preferentially over the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination (first combination priority control). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 17 (3), the bell 1 symbol which is the left symbol of the NML 14 has priority over the replay symbol which is the left symbol of the CBB role, and the bell 1 symbol is displayed on the effective line L. . Therefore, when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the internal CBB and the left stop button 16a is first operated for the first time, the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L as the CBB combination.

18 (1) to 18 (2):
As shown in FIG. 18 (1), when the symbol No. 15 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L in the state where the winning flag of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 is established, the middle stop It is assumed that the button 16b is operated. In this case, symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15), cherry symbol (symbol number 14) among symbols arranged in the symbol row 31b. No.), bell 2 symbol (symbol number 13), star symbol (symbol number 12), and replay symbol (symbol number 11). For this reason, the middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of the NML 14 that is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the active line L. As a result, the symbol candidates displayed on the active line L are the second special symbol combination of NML19 and the CBB symbol combination of CBB as shown in FIG. 18 (2).

FIG. 18 (3):
Here, in the internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L over the CBB combination of the CBB combination by the first combination priority control of the reel. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 18 (3), the middle symbol (cherry symbol) of NML19, which is a complete symbol, has priority over the middle symbol (bell 2 symbol) of the CBB role, which is a perfect symbol. A cherry symbol is displayed on the screen. Therefore, when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the internal CBB and the middle stop button 16b is first operated for the first time, the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L as the CBB combination.

FIG. 19 (1):
As shown in FIG. 19 (1), when the winning combination flag of CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 is established, left stop when symbol number 12 in symbol row 31c comes to the position of active line L. It is assumed that the button 16c is operated. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are the star symbol (symbol number 12), the watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 11), and the replay symbol (symbol number 10). ), Bell 1 symbol (symbol number 9), cherry symbol (symbol number 8). Therefore, among the right symbols (7 red symbols, 1 watermelon symbol, 2 watermelon symbols, 1 bell symbol or 2 bell symbols) of NML14 which is a complete symbol, they are 7 red symbols, 1 watermelon symbol and 2 bell symbols, and a complete symbol. Among the NML19 right symbols (red 7 symbol, bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol, white BAR symbol), red 7 symbol, bell 2 symbol, white BAR symbol, right symbol of CBB role (bell 1 symbol, bell) Each of the 2 symbols of the 2 symbols) is not displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG.

19 (3) to (4):
As shown in FIG. 19 (2), the symbol candidates that can be displayed in the symbol row 31c of the effective line L are the bell 1 symbol and the watermelon 2 symbol, both of which are symbol numbers in the symbol row 31c. It is a symbol (star symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, replay symbol, bell 1 symbol, cherry symbol) within the pull-in range when the left stop button 16c is operated when No. 12 comes to the position of the effective line L. Here, as shown in FIG. 19 (3), when the watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 11) in the symbol row 31c is displayed on the active line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is four. When the bell 1 symbol (symbol number 9) in the symbol row 31c is displayed on the active line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is five. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 19 (4), when the right stop button 16c is operated when the symbol corresponding to symbol number 12 in the symbol row 31c comes to the position of the effective line L, the number of symbol combinations is increased. The right reel 30c is stopped so as to display the most bell 1 symbols on the effective line L (number priority control).

20 (1), (2a) to (3a):
In the state where the bell symbol 1 in the symbol row 31c is displayed on the effective line L, the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG. Assume that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol of symbol number 3 in the symbol row 31a comes to the position of the effective line L as shown in FIG. 20 (2a). In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbol (symbol number 3), replay symbol (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbol (symbol number 1). No.), watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 0), and cherry symbol (symbol number 19). Therefore, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML 19 is not displayed on the effective line L. As shown in FIG. 20 (3a), the symbol candidates displayed on the effective line L are the first ones of the NML 14. A part of the special symbol combination and a part of the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination.

FIG. 20 (4a):
Here, in the internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L over the CBB combination of the CBB combination by the first combination priority control of the reel. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 20 (4a), the left symbol (bell 1 symbol) of NML14, which is a complete symbol, has priority over the left symbol (replay symbol) of the CBB role, which is a perfect symbol, and the effective line L The bell 1 symbol is displayed on the screen. In this case, the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is not displayed on the active line L.

20 (2b) to (3b):
Assume that the middle stop button 16b is operated when the watermelon 1 symbol of symbol number 15 in the symbol row 31b comes to the position of the effective line L as shown in FIG. 20 (2b). In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames that are the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are: watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15), cherry symbol (symbol number 14), bell 2 symbol (symbol number 13) No.), star symbol (symbol number 12), and replay symbol (symbol number 11). For this reason, the middle symbol (seven red symbols, black BAR symbol) of the NML 14 which is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the effective line L, but is displayed on the effective line L as shown in FIG. 20 (3b). The symbol candidates are part of the second special symbol combination of NML 19 and part of the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination.

FIG. 20 (4b):
Here, in the internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L over the CBB combination of the CBB combination by the first combination priority control of the reel. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 20 (4b), the NML19 middle symbol (cherry symbol), which is the complete symbol, is prioritized over the middle symbol (bell 2 symbol), which is the perfect symbol, and the effective line L A cherry symbol is displayed on the screen. In this case, the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is not displayed on the active line L.

  As described above, when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the internal CBB, when the winning flag of the CBB combination, the NML 14 and the NML 19 overlaps, any one of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is first selected. The CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination is not displayed on the active line L even if it is operated.

  As described above, in the slot machine S according to the present embodiment, a rare role lip (seven match lip, strong cherry lip, etc.) and strong cherry that trigger the lottery with the number of ART games added to multiple types of winning areas. And the winning probability of the rare role lip and strong cherry (hereinafter referred to as a rare role winning area) increases from 1/64 to 1/4 when the gaming state shifts from RT3 to RT4. For this reason, the winning of the RT4 transition lip that triggers the transition of the gaming state from RT3 to RT4 can improve the player's willingness to play, and the symbol combination associated with the RT4 transition lip becomes the active line L. It is possible to attract the player's interest as to whether or not it is displayed.

  In this embodiment, both the CBB combination (specific combination) and REP1 (normal combination) are associated with the winning area “CBB2”, and when CBB2 is won in the internal lottery in RT4, REP1 is more effective than the CBB combination. Is given priority, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 is displayed on the activated line L, and the gaming state stays in the RT4 internal CBB. Here, the RT3 fall lip is associated with a replaying role (special role: REP16, 17) that triggers the execution of the extra lottery and other replaying roles (REP1, etc.) in the RT4 internal CBB. When the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery, it is associated with the re-playing role that triggers the execution of the additional lottery by the reel stop control rather than the symbol combination associated with the other re-playing role. The symbol combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L. As a result, in the RT4 internal CBB, the RT3 falling lip plays a role of an execution lottery execution opportunity, and the lottery execution opportunity increases by the winning probability of the RT3 falling lip in the RT4 internal CBB. That is, in the present embodiment, the reel control means 104 (winning probability control means) causes the special role winning probability in the RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) to be higher than the special role winning probability in RT4 (second gaming state). It is configured to be controlled with high probability. For this reason, the RT4 internal CBB is frequently added and lottery is performed, and the gameability in the RT4 internal CBB can be improved and an attractive gaming machine can be provided.

  If the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery in RT4CBB (first gaming state), it is associated with the medal number adjustment area (winning area number 43) rather than the re-game player associated with the RT3 falling lip. Since the reels are controlled so that the NML 15 to 18 are preferentially won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the re-playing role (special role) that triggers the extra lottery is displayed on the active line L. Needless to say, the winning probability of winning a prize is higher in the RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) than in the RT4 CBB (first gaming state).

  Further, in the present embodiment, a game that can win 27 medals by winning a CBB number adjustable lip (ART lip or RT3 falling lip) in the CBB (hereinafter referred to as a CBB number adjustable game). Is done. Here, the ART lip is subject to internal lottery in RT3CBB and RT4CBB, but is not subject to internal lottery in RT1CBB and RT2CBB, and RT3 falling lip is subject to internal lottery in RT4CBB. However, RT1CBB to RT3CBB are not subject to internal lottery. For this reason, there is no possibility that the CBB number adjustment game is executed in RT1CBB and RT2CBB, and it can be said that RT4CBB is more likely to execute the CBB number adjustment game than RT3CBB. Therefore, among the RT1CBB to RT4CBB, the gaming state in which the CBB number adjustment game is most likely to be executed is RT4CBB, and the gaming performance in RT4CBB can be improved.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine equipped with a CBB number adjustment game, when a CBB role is won in a non-internal CBB, in order to provide a player with a CBB number adjustment game immediately, in other words, a stay period in the internal CBB So that the symbol combination associated with the CBB role is always displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button (so-called PB = 1), and after winning the CBB role. In the next game to be performed, a CBB number adjustment game that can acquire more medals is executed. On the other hand, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment, in addition to RT4CBB which can execute the CBB number adjustment game with a relatively high probability as a gaming state, the RT4 internal CBB which is advantageous to the player specialized in the extra lottery Is provided. For this reason, if the gaming state is immediately shifted from RT4 internal CBB to RT4CBB by single winning of the CBB role as in the conventional gaming machine, the stay period of RT4 internal CBB becomes very short, and the lottery for addition The significance of providing the RT4 internal CBB as a gaming state specialized for is lost. Therefore, in this embodiment example, the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB is determined by associating the CBB combination and the re-game combination with the winning area “CBB2” so that the gaming state does not immediately shift from RT4 to RT4CBB. By securing the above and executing many lottery opportunities in the RT4 internal CBB, it becomes possible to give a bonus to the player.

  Further, in this embodiment example, a symbol combination composed of only complete symbols is associated with a CBB combination, and the same CBB combination is associated with both CBB1 and CBB2, and therefore the symbol corresponding to the combination The burden on the developer for the formulation of the combination can be reduced. This will be described in detail. In the present embodiment example, the CBB combination and the re-playing combination are associated with the winning area “CBB2” so that the gaming state can stay in the RT4 internal CBB for a relatively long time. In the internal CBB, a game specialized in lottery can be realized. Here, as a method for staying in the RT4 internal CBB, the first CBB combination and the second CBB combination having different symbol combinations are provided, and the symbol combination corresponding to the first CBB combination is always an effective line regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The symbol combination displayed on L (PB = 1), the symbol combination corresponding to the second CBB combination as the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L according to the operation mode of the stop button (PB ≠ 1), If the second CBB combination with PB ≠ 1 is won by lottery, a method of shifting the gaming state from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB is also conceivable. However, if this is done, two types of CBB roles having different symbol combinations must be provided, and the developer's burden on the formulation of symbol combinations corresponding to the roles increases. In the present embodiment, by providing one type of CBB combination and providing a winning area “CBB2” in which the CBB combination and the replay combination are overlapped, the development burden on the developer can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, CBB combination and REP1 are associated with CBB2. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and instead of the replay combination of REP1, the active line L1 is always set regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. A configuration in which a small combination in which a symbol combination is displayed (a small combination that is not missed) is associated with CBB2, for example, a configuration in which CBB combination and NML1 (normal combination) are associated with CBB2 may be employed.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the other combinations of symbols associated with the RT3 falling lip are selected regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The symbol combination associated with the re-gamer (special role: REP16, REP17) that triggers the extra lottery is given priority over the symbol combination associated with the gamer (REP1 etc.) and displayed on the active line L. As a result, a special symbol combination T, which is a characteristic symbol combination such as “replay symbol”-“replay symbol”-“white BAR symbol”, is arranged in the middle or lower part of each reel 30a to 30c. The displayed special stop mode (the first special stop mode and the second special stop mode) is displayed. Therefore, the special reel stop mode can notify the player of the execution of the extra lottery, and can give the player a sense of expectation for the winning of the extra lottery.

  On the other hand, when the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery in RT4, the other replaying role is more than the symbol combination associated with the replaying role (special role) that triggers the extra lottery by reel control. The symbol combination associated with is preferentially displayed on the active line L. Therefore, in RT4, the reel stop mode does not become a special stop mode. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the winning probability of RT3 falling lip is set to the same probability (1/4) in RT4 and RT4 internal CBB, but the reel stop mode associated with RT3 falling lip Among them, the appearance probability (winning probability) of the special stop mode for notifying the execution chance of the extra lottery is 0% for RT4 and 25% (1/4) for RT4 internal CBB, and the gaming state changes from RT4 to RT internal CBB. Ascends and rises. For this reason, the special stop mode allows the player to determine the current gaming state.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the winning probability (about 1 / 1.5) related to the re-playing combination of RT4 internal CBB (second specific gaming state) is the winning probability related to the re-playing combination of RT1-2 internal CBB ( The probability that each of the reels 30a to 30c stops in a special stop mode is higher in the RT4 internal CBB than in the RT1 and 2 internal CBB. For this reason, in RT4 internal CBB, it becomes possible to play a game while suppressing consumption of medals, and the possibility of executing a lottery by adding an ART game is increased. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the gaming performance in the RT4 internal CBB, and to differentiate from other gaming states.

  In the present embodiment, it is necessary to win CBB2 at RT4 in order to shift to RT4 internal CBB specialized for extra lottery, but when CBB2 is won at RT4, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 is effective It is displayed with priority over the line L. Here, the symbol combination associated with REP1 is “replay symbol” − “replay symbol” − “replay symbol”, and “red 7 symbol” − “red 7 symbol” − “red 7 symbol” or “ The game state is changed from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB because of the stop mode of the reels, because it is not set to a distinctive symbol combination such as “Black BAR symbol”-“Black BAR symbol”-“Black BAR symbol” It is possible to prevent the player from being impressed by the transition. As a result, for example, it is possible to suddenly notify the transition to the RT4 internal CBB with the effect device such as the sub monitor 6 at the same time as the game start operation first performed after the CBB2 win in RT4. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that is less likely to get bored.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, all of the symbols constituting the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination are always displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button in each symbol row 31a-c. It is a complete design. For this reason, in the state where the winning flag for the CBB combination is independently established, the CBB symbol combination is always displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, and the gaming state shifts from the internal CBB to the CBB. It will be. Then, in the RT4 internal CBB where the winning flag for the CBB combination is established independently, when the result of the internal lottery is incorrect, the CBB symbol combination is always displayed on the active line L, and the RT4 internal CBB is terminated. Thus, the process proceeds to RT4CBB. In other words, in the present embodiment example, it is possible to make the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB specialized for the extra lottery depend on the winning probability of the winning area “unsuccessful”, and adjust the winning probability of the unsuccessful winning in the RT4 internal CBB By doing so, the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB can be lengthened or shortened.

  In this embodiment, the winning probability of the re-gamer is changed between RT3 (non-internal CBB) and RT3 internal CBB (internal CBB), for example, as shown in FIGS. In order to keep the RT3 replay win probability and the RT3 internal CBB replay win probability at the same probability (about 1 / 1.5), the internal lottery means in RT3, The winning probability of 0/65536 and the winning probability “1” of the winning area “CBB1” is referred to the winning probability lottery table, and an internal lottery is performed. In the RT3 internal CBB, the unsuccessful probability in RT3 and the RT3 Winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of CBB1 is replaced, that is, the winning probability of the winning area “Choice” is 1/16, and the winning probability of the winning area “CBB1” is 0/65536 It is carried out in a relatively simple way of performing an internal lottery to reference the winning probability lottery table to be. For this reason, it is not necessary to perform complicated control such as adding a new winning area in order to maintain the winning probability of the re-gamer.

  Here, assuming that the winning probability of the re-game player is changed by the winning of the CBB role, and the re-game winning probability of the RT3 internal CBB is higher than the RT 3 re-game winning probability, for example, RT3 A situation may arise in which the winning probability of the rare role lip in the internal CBB must be raised or the winning probability of the RT4 transition lip must be raised. In this case, it is difficult to differentiate only the RT4 internal CBB from other gaming states and set it to a gaming state specialized for extra lottery. In addition, when changing the winning probability of the re-playing role triggered by the winning of the CBB role, it is possible to increase the winning probability of the ART lip in the RT3 internal CBB, but the winning probability of the ART lip in the RT3 internal CBB is If the winning probability is further increased to about 1 / 1.5, the result of the internal lottery in the RT3 internal CBB is almost the winning of the ART lip, and the gameability in the RT3 internal CBB is reduced. There is a risk of it. In the present embodiment example, the re-game winning probability of the non-internal CBB and the re-play winning probability of the internal CBB are held at the same probability without changing the winning probability of the re-game player triggered by the winning of the CBB role. Therefore, it is possible to set the gaming state specialized for the lottery by adding only the RT4 internal CBB while preventing a decrease in gameability in the internal CBB.

  In addition, in order to keep the RT4 replay win probability and the RT4 internal CBB replay win probability at the same probability (about 1 / 1.5), as in the case of the unsuccessful win in RT3 and RT3 internal CBB and the relationship of CBB1. In addition, the internal lottery means performs an internal lottery with reference to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of winning is 0/65536 and the winning probability of CBB1 is 1/16 in RT4, and in RT4 internal CBB, in RT4 Refer to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability is replaced with the winning probability of CBB1 in RT4, that is, the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of unsuccessful is 1/16 and the winning probability of CBB1 is 0/65536. An internal lottery is conducted. That is, the internal lottery means 102 controls the winning probability of unsuccessful to 0/65536 and the winning probability of CBB1 to 1/16 in RT4 (second gaming state), and in RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state), The winning probability of winning is controlled to 1/16, which is the same as the winning probability of CBB1 in RT4, and the winning probability of CBB1 is controlled to 0/65536, which is the same as the winning probability of winning in RT4. In this way, the stay period in the specific game state specialized for the lottery can be adjusted by a relatively simple method of replacing the probability of winning and the probability of winning separately for the specific role.

  In the present embodiment example, the RT3 fall lip includes a re-playing role (REP7) that triggers the fall to RT3, a re-playing role (REP16, 17) that serves as an extra lottery trigger, and RT4 to maintain RT4. Since the re-gamer (REP1, 19) is associated with each other, the re-gamer that becomes the fall opportunity for RT3, the re-gamer that becomes the extra lottery opportunity, and the re-gamer for maintaining RT4 are different. The number of winning areas can be reduced as compared with the case where the winning areas are associated. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of data in the winning area stored in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100, and the capacity of the main ROM can be used efficiently.

  In this embodiment, NML14 and NML19 are associated with strong cherries, and NML14 and NML19 are reels with spilled symbols that cannot be displayed on the effective line L depending on the operation timing of the stop button ( The symbol rows are different from each other. Therefore, when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, even if any one of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is operated first, depending on the operation mode of the stop button. , NML14 and NML19 may not be able to display all the symbol combinations associated with each of the NML14 and NML19 on the effective line L (so-called missing). For this reason, it is possible to secure a winning area that allows the medal to be paid out by the stop button operation technique.

  In addition to the fact that the reels (symbol rows) in which the symbols with spilled symbols are arranged are associated with strong cherries, the CBB is controlled by the reel control based on the number priority control and the first priority priority control. When the winning combination, NML14 and NML19 winning flags overlap, no matter which stop button is operated first among the stop buttons 16a-c, it corresponds to the CBB combination regardless of the operation mode of the stop button The attached CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L. For this reason, in the extra lottery-specific RT4 internal CBB, the CBB symbol combination of the CBB role is displayed on the active line L even if a strong cherry that allows the presence or absence of medal payout by the stop button operation technique is won. There is nothing. As a result, only when the winning area “bad” is won by internal lottery in RT4 internal CBB, or when the bell is spilled by operating the stop button without following the batting order effect in ART mode, The CBB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state shifts from the RT4 internal CBB to the RT4CBB, and the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB can be adjusted only by the winning probability of the winning area “unwinning” Become. Here, the extra lottery is a lottery to determine whether or not to add the number of ART games. Since the ART game is a game that facilitates the acquisition of medals without consuming much of the existing medals, the stay of the CBB inside the RT4 The total payout of medals increases when the period is longer than when the period is short. As described above, the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB has a great influence on the total number of medals paid out. However, in this embodiment, it is relatively easy to adjust the winning probability of unfair election in the RT4 internal CBB. By the method, the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB can be changed intentionally, and the load on the design of the number of medals paid out by the developer can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, three reels are provided. For example, even if the number of reels is increased or decreased, the small cherries that have different spilled symbols (symbol rows) are displayed in strong cherry. The CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination becomes the active line L by winning the strong cherry in the internal CBB, while securing a winning area that allows the medal to be paid out by operating the stop button. It goes without saying that it is possible to prevent the game state from being displayed and shifting to CBB.

  In this embodiment, when the winning flags of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 are established, the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination is displayed on the effective line L by the number priority control by the reel control means 104. However, instead of the number priority control, the payout number priority control for controlling the reel so as to display the symbol combination corresponding to the combination with the largest medal payout number on the effective line L may be adopted. Both the number priority control and the payout number priority control may be employed. When both the number priority control and the payout number priority control are employed, either the number priority control or the payout number priority control is performed for each of the 60 regions (60 symbols) constituting the symbol rows 31a to 31c. The reel is stopped by determining in advance whether to adopt it. For example, the symbol number 1 in the symbol row 31a gives priority to the number priority control over the payout number priority control and stops the reel, and the symbol number 2 in the symbol row 31b gives priority to the payout number priority control over the number priority control. Stop.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control means 104 changes the reel stop control in response to the transition from the gaming state RT4 to the RT4 internal CBB, and determines the prize winning probability of the special role that triggers the extra lottery as RT4. The RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) is controlled to have a higher probability than the (second gaming state), but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Specifically, as a modified example in which the winning probability of a special combination in the RT4 internal CBB is controlled with a high probability, a special combination serving as a trigger for executing the extra lottery is not a re-playing combination (modified example 1), The internal lottery means (winning probability control means) 102 may refer to winning probability lottery tables with different winning probabilities for special roles (variations 2 to 4) between RT4 and RT4 internal CBB.

  The modified example 1 will be described in detail. As the winning area, a “special bell” in which both a normal small role that does not trigger the extra lottery and a special small role that triggers the extra lottery is provided, and reel control means 104, when a special bell is won in the internal lottery in RT4, the normal small combination is given priority over the special small combination, and the symbol combination associated with the normal small combination is displayed on the effective line L. When the special bell is won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the special combination is given priority over the normal combination and the symbol combination associated with the special combination is displayed on the effective line L. To stop the reel. As a result, the winning combination probability that the symbol combination corresponding to the special small role (special role) that becomes the execution opportunity of the extra lottery is displayed on the effective line L and the winning is made is higher than the RT4 (second gaming state) RT4 internal CBB ( (Specific game state) has a higher probability, and the special effect produced by the present embodiment example, that is, the gameability in the RT4 internal CBB can be improved and an attractive game machine can be provided. .

  In the first modification, the medal payout number determined for the special small role is set to a number other than the largest medal payout number among the medal payout numbers determined for all the small roles (for example, 1 less than 14). In the RT4CBB (first game state) in which the winning flags relating to all the small combinations including the special small combination are established, the reel control means 104 performs the payout number priority control. The symbol combination corresponding to the special small role is not displayed on the active line L and won. Then, the winning combination probability that the symbol combination corresponding to the special small role (special role) that becomes the execution opportunity of the extra lottery is displayed on the effective line L and wins is higher than RT4 CBB (first game state) RT4 internal CBB (specific (Game state) has a higher probability, and it becomes possible to add only the RT4 internal CBB and make it a lottery-specific game state.

  On the other hand, in the first modification, if the medal payout number determined for the special small role is set to the largest medal payout number (for example, 15) among the medal payout numbers determined for all the small roles, RT4CBB It is also possible to always display the symbol combination corresponding to the special small combination on the effective line L. In this case, similarly to the RT4 internal CBB, if the symbol combination corresponding to the special small role is displayed on the active line L in the RT4CBB and a prize is awarded, the lottery is executed. Then, it is also possible to realize a game such that an extra lottery is executed.

  With respect to the modified examples 2 to 4, the internal lottery means (winning probability control means) 102 refers to the winning probability lottery table with the winning probability of the special role being about 1/4 (65/256) in RT4, and specials in RT4 internal CBB. By referencing the winning probability lottery table with a winning probability of a combination higher than about 1/4, the special combination in RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) is more than the winning probability of the special combination in RT4 (second gaming state) It is the structure which controls the probability of winning a prize with high probability.

  The modification 2 will be described in detail. The number of random numbers for internal lottery (256) associated with CBB2 in RT4 is the special role, “normal lip” associated with REP1 in RT4 internal CBB. Sort to “special lip” associated with REP16. For example, assuming that the random number value 256 for internal lottery associated with CBB2 in RT4 is distributed to 128 “normal lip” and 128 “special lip” in RT4 internal CBB, FIG. As shown, the winning probability of the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is 0/65536 for “CBB2”, 1/512 (128/65536) for “normal lip”, and 1/512 (128/65536) for “special lip”. It becomes. Then, the internal lottery means 102 performs the internal lottery with reference to the winning probability lottery table with the winning probability of the special role 131/512 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/512) in the RT4 internal CBB, and the RT4 internal CBB. The winning probability of the special combination in (special gaming state) is higher than the winning probability of the special combination in RT4 (second gaming state). That is, a plurality of types of roles include a special role (e.g., REP16) that is a re-playing role that allows the next game to be executed without the insertion of a game medium, and an opportunity to change the gaming state. A special combination (CBB combination) and a normal combination that is the re-playing combination and does not trigger the bonus, and a special lip associated with the special combination as the winning area and the specific combination A CBB 2 in which both the combination and the normal combination are associated, and a normal lip in which the normal combination is associated, are provided, and the internal lottery means 102 has a first predetermined number (256) of random number values in RT4. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the first winning probability lottery table in which the number is assigned to CBB2 and the second predetermined number (0) of random number values is associated with the special lip. In RT4 internal CBB, the first predetermined Number (256 pieces The number of random number values in (1) (for example, 128) is allocated to special lip, and the remaining (for example, 128) is allocated to normal lip, so that the number of random number values is larger than the second predetermined number (0). The internal lottery is performed with reference to the second winning probability lottery table associated with the special lip.

  The modification 3 will be described in detail. When the gaming state is shifted from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB, the number of random numbers (256) for internal lottery associated with CBB2 in RT4 is changed to RT4 internal CBB. All of them are assigned to the “special lip” associated with the special role REP16. Then, as shown in FIG. 21B, the winning probability of the internal lottery in RT4 internal CBB is 0/65536 for “CBB2” and 1/256 (256/65536) for “special lip”. In this case, the internal lottery means 102 performs the internal lottery with reference to the winning probability lottery table with the winning probability of the special role of 66/256 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/256) in the RT4 internal CBB. The winning probability of the special combination in CBB (specific gaming state) is higher than the winning probability of the special combination in RT4 (second gaming state). That is, the internal lottery means 102 in RT4, the first predetermined number (256) of the random number value is associated with CBB2, and the second predetermined number (0) of the random number value is associated with the special lip. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the winning probability lottery table, and in the RT4 internal CBB, all the random number values among the first predetermined number (256) of random number values are distributed to special lip, The internal lottery is performed with reference to the third winning probability lottery table in which the random number obtained by adding the first predetermined number (256) and the second predetermined number (0) is associated with the special lip. Do.

  In the second and third modified examples, similar to the present embodiment, the RT4 replay winning probability is not changed between the RT4 and the RT4 internal CBB without changing the winning probability of the RTB and the RT4 internal CBB. And the RT4 internal CBB replay winning probability can be held at the same probability (approximately 1 / 1.5).

  The variation 4 will be described in detail. As the gaming state shifts from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB, the number of random numbers (256) for internal lottery associated with CBB2 in RT4 is expressed as “ The number of random numbers for internal lottery (4096) associated with CBB1 in RT4 is changed to “special lip” in RT4 internal CBB, and assigned to “unauthorized” (128) and “normal lip” (128). Sort everything. Then, as shown in FIG. 21C, the winning probability of the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is 0/65536 for “CBB1” and “CBB2”, 1/512 (128/65536) for “unfair”, “ Special lip "is 1/16 (4096/65536). In this case, the internal lottery means 102 performs the internal lottery with reference to the winning probability lottery table with the winning probability of the special role of 162/256 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/16) in the RT4 internal CBB. The winning probability of the special combination in CBB (specific gaming state) is higher than the winning probability of the special combination in RT4 (second gaming state). Note that, in the fourth modification, unlike the first embodiment and the first to third modifications, the winning probability of the re-gamer is varied between RT4 and the RT4 internal CBB when the CBB winning is triggered.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, a CBB combination serving as a trigger for transition to the gaming state is provided, and the non-internal CBB, the internal CBB, and the CBB are provided as the gaming state. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the gaming state is entered. A non-RBB internal gaming state in which an internal lottery is performed with a normal probability (for example, 12%) of a small role winning probability provided as an RBB role or an RB role (bonus role) as a transition opportunity, The RBB gaming state in which the internal lottery is performed with a very high probability (for example, 90%) of the winning combination of the small role than the non-RBB gaming state, and the RBB winning flag is carried over and the RBB is in the winning state internally. A configuration may be provided in which an RBB internal gaming state is provided.

  In this embodiment, the presentation mode control unit 109 is provided in the main control processing unit 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a part of the function of the presentation mode control unit 109 is appropriately included in the main control processing unit 100. The remaining functions may be provided in the sub-control processing unit 200.
