A first benefit acquisition lottery for acquiring one benefit, and a second benefit acquisition lottery for acquiring a second benefit related to the advantageous game with less benefit for the player than the first benefit, 2. In a gaming machine that can be converted into a first benefit when a predetermined number of benefits are acquired, when the first benefit is acquired by the first benefit acquisition lottery, the first benefit is converted into a plurality of unannounced benefits. The contents are divided and accumulated, and the player can be notified of the unannounced benefits in sequence.
In such a configuration, by dividing the acquired first benefit into a plurality of benefits and notifying the divided benefits, the opportunity to produce the first benefit is shown in comparison with the case where the first benefit is shown at once. There is an effect that the production can be increased and the production can be diversified.

In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the second benefit is acquired by the second benefit acquisition lottery, it is accumulated as an unreported benefit.
In such a configuration, there is an effect that even when the second benefit is acquired, it can be notified as an unnotified benefit.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is further determined by lottery whether or not to notify at least one of the unannounced benefits, on the condition that the unannounced benefits have been accumulated. In the case where the lottery is won, the player is informed of the unannounced benefit related to the winning, and the unannounced benefit announced is subtracted from the accumulated unnotified benefit. .
In such a configuration, there is an effect that it is possible to give the production diversity and change by determining whether or not to notify the unannounced benefit by lottery.

In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the first benefit is acquired for the first time, it is divided into the plurality of unannounced benefits, and is divided when the first benefit is acquired after the next time. Whether or not is determined by lottery.
In such a configuration, it is divided into unannounced benefits only when the first benefit is obtained for the first time, and at the time of obtaining the first benefit after the next time, whether to divide or not is determined by lottery. There is an effect that diversity and change can be given.

In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the division is not performed when the first benefit is acquired for the first time.
In such a configuration, division is not performed when the first benefit is acquired for the first time, and division is performed when the first benefit is acquired after the next time, so that the production can have further diversity and change. There is an effect.

These designs 61 are formed by sticking a tape on which each design is printed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 62. Note that the number (frame number) of the symbol 61 in FIG. 2 is not a physical number attached to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 62, but is a virtual number for controlling the stop of each symbol 61. This is for specifying a specific symbol 61 in the program.

(Game control means 100)
As shown in FIG. 3, game control means 100 for controlling the overall operation of the gaming machine 10 is formed inside the gaming machine 10. The game control means 100 receives a main control means 200 that controls the game state by advancing the game, and receives information (commands) from the main control means 200 to control effects according to the progress of the game. And a sub-control means 300 for controlling the effect state in order to give the player information about the game content.

Here, the state in which the main control means 200 is independently controlled is referred to as a “game state” to be described later with reference to FIG. 10, and the state in which the main control means 200 and the sub-control means 300 are controlled together is illustrated in FIG. 11 is referred to as a “common control state”, which will be described later, and a state in which the sub-control unit 300 controls alone is referred to as an “effect state”.
The main control unit 200 and the sub control unit 300 are connected by one-way communication from the main control unit 200 to the sub control unit 300 in order to prevent unauthorized operation of the main control unit 200. Communication in the reverse direction from the control means 300 to the main control means 200 is not performed (that is, not bidirectional communication). The main control means 200 receives inputs from the max bet switch 34, the settlement switch 36, the start switch 40, and the stop switch 50, performs a role lottery, and controls the operations of the reel unit 60 and the storage / dispensing means 24. The sub-control means 300 receives a signal from the main control means 200 and controls the operation of the rendering means 70 such as the display device 84. To the output side of the sub-control means 300, a speaker 72 as the effect means 70, a display device 84, and an effect lamp 78 are connected.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the main board having the main control means 200 and the sub board having the sub control means 300 are housed in dedicated board cases, respectively. Specifically, the main control means 200 is housed inside the main board case, and the sub control means 300 is housed inside the sub board case. The main board case is fixed to the upper part inside the housing 12 and the sub board case is fixed to the left side from the front inside the housing 12.

  The main control means 200 and the sub control means 300 are constituted by a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O port (not shown). The CPU has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and executes various programs by executing a program stored in the ROM. The ROM stores programs executed by the CPU and fixed data such as various tables, and the RAM stores a temporary storage area when the CPU executes the programs, for example, the state of the gaming machine 10 It is used as a storage area for storing the area and the lottery result of the role lottery.

  The gaming state controlled by the main control means 200 will be described later with reference to FIG. 10 in this embodiment, but can be broadly divided into a “normal state” that is normally (generally), this normal state ( When the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition combination does not stop on the active line 86 even though the bonus (RBB) is won by the combination lottery means 210 of the combination lottery means 210 in RT0), the transition from the normal state (RT0) is made. “Internally winning state” (RBBF), in this “internally winning state” (RBBF), when the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition role stops on the active line 86, the game is played more than the normal state (RT0) And a bonus gaming state (RBB) in which a profit given to the player can be increased.

  The bonus game state (RBB) is selected as a bonus transition combination as a transition combination, and a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination, for example, “RS (red 7), W1 (watermelon 1), RS (red 7) ) ”On the active line 86, the game starts from the next game of the aligned game.

  In addition, even if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transitional combination is not available on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning, the bonus transitional combination will correspond to the bonus transitional combination on the active line 86 after the next game. The state of winning the bonus transition role is valid until 61 combinations are available. If there is no other combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the combination on the active line 86 in the other game at the time of winning, the game is invalid after the next game. The bonus gaming state (RBB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the bonus gaming state (RBB) exceeds a preset number (specifically, for example, 200).

In the present embodiment, a big bonus state (RBB state) controlled mainly by the main control means 200 is provided as the bonus game state (RBB). The big bonus state facilitates winning of a small role by making the lottery probability of all small roles higher than the normal state. The big bonus state according to the present embodiment ends with a payout number exceeding 200. Of course, this termination condition is not limited to 200 sheets, and other sheets may be used.
In addition, when the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the re-playing role (replaying role) is prepared on the active line 86, the medal is not paid out, but in the next game, the bet number is automatically used without using the medal owned by the player. Can be set and played.

  In addition, an effect state that is mainly controlled by the main control unit 200 and executed by the control of the sub-control unit 300 performed by an instruction from the main control unit 200 will be described later with reference to FIG. There are provided a “normal game” that is normally played and an “advantageous game” that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal game”.

The advantageous game is an “AT state” (assist time state) that assists in stopping the combination of the symbols 61 in the combination on the active line 86 by notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50, the winning symbol 61, etc. ).
The “advantageous game” is not limited to the “AT state”, but the “normal game” (non-AT state) shown in FIG. Any advantageous game may be used.

(Main control means 200)
The main control means 200 includes each means of a combination lottery means 210, reel control means 220, stop symbol determination means 230, payout control means 240, gaming state control means 250, main side common control state control means 260, and transmission means 270. . Details of each means will be described later. A part or all of the main-side common control state control means 260 may be included in the sub-control means 300 instead of the main control means 200, or both the main control means 200 and the sub-control means 300 may be included. You may make it have divided into.

This is determined by “AT lottery” and “advantageous game” (AT state) is controlled.

(First benefit acquisition lottery means 402)
The first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 is an “advantageous game” (AT state), which will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, based on the result of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210. Whether to acquire “stock” (hereinafter also referred to as “stock (first benefit)”) is determined by “stock lottery” (first benefit acquisition lottery).
The “stock lottery” is performed in step S25 (FIG. 13) described later. In addition, although “stock” is exemplified as the first benefit, it is not limited to this, but “points” or “game number” or “set number” at the time of initial addition or addition may be used.

Here, when “stock” as the first benefit is acquired, after the “advantageous game” (AT state) is completed, the “advantageous game” (AT state) can be continuously executed next time.
When the stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery) is won, for example, one “stock” (first benefit) can be acquired. In addition, although one piece was illustrated as an acquisition number of “stock” (first benefit), the acquisition number may be determined by lottery.
The stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery) will be described later with reference to FIGS.
In the first special state to be described later, the first benefit acquisition lottery is executed with higher probability than the AT basic state.

(Second benefit acquisition lottery means 403)
The second benefit acquisition lottery means 403 is “point” (an example of the second benefit based on the result of the role lottery by the role lottery means 210 in the “advantageous game” (AT state) described later with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, whether or not “point (second benefit)” is acquired is determined by “point lottery” (second benefit acquisition lottery).
The “point lottery” is performed in step S23 (FIG. 13) described later. In addition, although “point” is exemplified as “second benefit”, it is not limited to this, and “number of games”, “number of sets” at the time of initial addition or addition, etc.

Here, the “point” that is the second benefit is a benefit related to “advantageous game” that has less benefit for the player than the “stock” that is the first benefit.
Further, “point” as the second benefit can be converted into “stock” (7 points = 1 stock) as the first benefit when a predetermined number, for example, “7” is acquired.
The “predetermined number” is exemplified as “7”, but is not limited to this, and a plurality is sufficient, and may be 2 to 6, or 8 or more.

In the point lottery (second benefit acquisition lottery), as will be described later with reference to FIG. 14, for example, “0” to “7” “points” (second benefit) can be acquired. The number of “points” (second benefit) acquired is “0” to “7”, but is not limited to this, and may be drawn in two stages except “0”. . For example, “winning” may be first lottery, and the number of “points” (second benefit) acquired, for example, “1” to “7” may be secondarily drawn when the primary lottery is won. Alternatively, the number of “points” (second benefit) acquired may be fixed to “1”, for example, and only “win / no-go” may be selected.
The point lottery (second benefit acquisition lottery) will be described later with reference to FIGS.
In the second special state to be described later, the second benefit acquisition lottery is executed with higher probability than the AT basic state.

(First special state transition lottery means 404)
The first special state transition lottery means 404 is the first special state based on the result of the part lottery by the part lottery means 210 in the “advantageous game” (AT state) described later with reference to FIG. It is determined by “first special state transfer lottery” for determining whether or not to shift to “specialized state”.
The “transition lottery” to the stock addition special state (first special state) is performed in step S24 (FIG. 13) described later.
The first special state transition lottery will be described later with reference to FIGS.

(Second special state transition lottery means 405)
The second special state transition lottery means 405 is the second special state based on the result of the part lottery by the part lottery means 210 in the “advantageous game” (AT state) described later with reference to FIG. Whether to shift to “specialized state” is determined by “second special state shift lottery”.
Note that the “transition lottery” to the point added special state (second special state) is performed in step S24 (FIG. 13) described later.
The second special state transition lottery will be described later with reference to FIGS. 14B and 15.

(Advantageous game continuation means 406)
The advantageous game continuation means 406 ends the “advantageous game” (AT state) (digests the initial number of games determined in the “AT basic state” described later with reference to FIG. Occasionally, the “advantageous game” (AT state) is continued on condition that the first benefit “stock” is acquired.
Here, “subject to stock acquisition as the first benefit” includes the following two cases.
(1) When “stock” as the first benefit is acquired by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402,
(2) Acquired a predetermined number of “points” as the second benefit obtained, for example “7”, and obtained “stock” as the first benefit converted by the benefit conversion means 412 described later. Case

(Lottery probability change means 407)
The lottery probability changing means 407 changes various lottery probabilities on the condition that “stock” as the first benefit is acquired.
Here, “subject to the acquisition of stock as the first benefit” is the first benefit lottery by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 in the “advantageous game” (AT state) described later with reference to FIG. It means the case where a certain “stock lottery” is won. In other words, this means that a predetermined number of “points” that are the second benefit are acquired in advance, and the case where the first benefit is acquired by the conversion described later is excluded, but this need not be excluded. In addition, the “stock lottery” win is the initial number in “advantageous game” (AT state), that is, the initial number of games determined in “AT basic state” to be described later with reference to FIG. Including the first). In the case where the “advantageous game” (AT state) is continued by the advantageous game continuation means 406, the lottery probability changed by the lottery probability changing means 407 is initialized for each continuation. Also good.

(High probability state transition means 408)
The high probability state transition means 408 shifts to the “high probability state” via the “predictor state” and controls the high probability state when the lottery for transition to the “high probability state” is won in the “normal state”. Is.

(Benefit management means 410)
The benefit management means 410 manages “stock” as the first benefit and “point” as the second benefit.
As shown in FIG. 7, the benefit management means 410 includes (1) benefit storage means 411, (2) benefit conversion means 412, (3) benefit division means 413, and (4) benefit acquisition effect management means 414. Note that the means of the benefit management means 410 is not limited to the above (1) to (4). For example, “(4) benefit acquisition effect management means 414” is omitted, and notification of unannounced points that are unannounced benefits. May be executed, and the acquisition effect of “stock”, which is the first benefit after the notification, may be omitted.

(Benefit memory means 411)
The benefit storage means 411 stores “stock” as the first benefit and “points” as the second benefit.
The first benefit “stock” includes:
(1) “Stock” which is the first benefit acquired by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402
(2) “Stock” which is the first benefit obtained by acquiring a predetermined number of “points” which are the second benefits obtained, for example, “7”, and converted by the benefit conversion means 412 described later.
The first benefit “stock” acquired by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 and the first benefit “stock” converted from the second benefit “point” are stored in a distinguishable manner. Thus, the effect of “stock”, which is the first benefit acquired by the first benefit lottery by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402, and “stock”, which is the first benefit converted by the benefit conversion means 412 described later, are differentiated. It is possible. In addition, “stock” as the first benefit obtained by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 is stored in the benefit storage means 411 and also divided into a plurality of “unannounced points” by the benefit division means 413 described later. Then, it is also stored in the unnotified benefit accumulating means 421 as “unnotified points” which are unnotified benefits. Further, the “point” that is the second benefit acquired by the second benefit acquisition lottery means 403 is also stored in the unnotified benefit storage means 421 described later as an “unnotified point” that is an unnotified benefit.

(Benefit conversion means 412)
The benefit conversion means 412 converts the second benefit “point” into a predetermined benefit, for example “7”, and converts it into “stock” as the first benefit (7 points → 1 stock). ).
That is, the “points” acquired by the lottery of the second benefit acquisition lottery means 403 are stored in the benefit storage means 411, converted into “stock” by the benefit conversion means 412, and then the corresponding “7 points” are obtained. The “point” count value stored in the benefit storage means 411 is deleted, that is, subtracted.
Note that the conversion from “point” to “stock” is not limited before or after a point notification effect described later for a predetermined number of points, or when a predetermined number of points are acquired.
The “predetermined number” is exemplified as “7”, but is not limited to this, and a plurality is sufficient, and may be 2 to 6, or 8 or more.

(Benefit dividing means 413)
When the benefit dividing means 413 acquires the “stock” as the first benefit by the “stock lottery” as the first benefit acquisition lottery, a plurality of “stock” as the first benefit, for example, “7” Is divided into “unannounced points” which are unannounced benefits, and stored as “unannounced points” which are unannounced benefits in the unannounced benefit accumulating means 421 described later (1 stock → 7 unannounced points). . Note that “division”, that is, “point conversion processing” is performed in step S351 (FIG. 16) described later.
As the timing of division, every time “stock” as the first benefit is acquired by “stock lottery” as the first benefit acquisition lottery, “division” is executed. In addition, every time “stock”, which is the first benefit, is acquired, “division” is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the time of acquiring “stock”, which is the first benefit, the first special state During the acquisition of “stock” as the first benefit, the division may not be performed. In this way, the division is not performed when the “stock” that is the first benefit, which is the first time, is acquired, but is divided when the “stock”, which is the first benefit after the next time, is obtained, or the first benefit is obtained during the first special state. In the first special state that can acquire the first benefit “stock” and the first benefit “stock” with high probability by not dividing when acquiring “stock” The player can recognize the acquisition of “stock”, which is the first benefit, and the production can be more diverse and varied.
In addition, although "7" was illustrated as "plurality", it is not limited to this, It is sufficient if it is plural, and it is good also as 2-6 or 8 or more. Further, although the predetermined number by the benefit conversion means 412 and the number of divisions by the benefit division means 413 are matched as “7”, they may be different.

(Benefit acquisition direction management means 414)
The benefit acquisition effect management means 414 manages the “benefit acquisition effect” that is executed after the notification by the notification management means 420 described later. Specifically, when “7 unannounced points” which are unannounced benefits are announced, the sub-control means 300 executes the acquisition effect of “stock” which is the first benefit. ing.

(Notification management means 420)
The notification management means 420 manages “unnotified points”, which is an unnotified benefit.
As shown in FIG. 8, the notification management means 420 includes (1) unnotified benefit accumulation means 421, (2) notification instruction means 422, and (3) unnotified benefit subtraction means 423. Note that the means of the notification management means 420 is not limited to the above (1) to (3). The above-mentioned (1) to (3) will be described later. For example, “notification lottery means” may be added to the notice management means 420.

  The “notification lottery means” is an unnotified benefit to the unnotified benefit accumulation means 421 based on the result of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210 in the “advantageous game” (AT state) described later with reference to FIG. On the condition that “unannounced points” are stored, “unannounced points” that are “unannounced benefits” are determined by “notification lottery” as to whether or not to notify the player. When the “notification lottery” is won, an announcement of “unannounced points”, which is an unannounced benefit, is executed. The notification is executed on the side of the sub-control unit 300 based on an instruction from the notification command unit 422 described later. The number of unannounced benefits to be notified, for example, “number of points” may be singular or plural. For example, the number of “points” to be drawn may be “0” to “7”, and it may be determined whether or not the announcement is made and “number of points” by one “notification lottery”, or primary In the lottery, whether or not the notice is determined is determined, and when the winner is selected, the “number of points” may be randomly selected. Further, the number of unannounced points to be notified and the timing of notification are determined in consideration of the remaining game sections of advantageous games.

(Unannounced benefit accumulation means 421)
The unnotified benefit accumulating means 421 stores “unnotified points” which are unnotified benefits.
The “unannounced points” that are benefits of unannounced are as follows.
(1) “Unannounced points” in which “stock” as the first benefit acquired by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 is an unannounced benefit divided by the benefit dividing means 413
(2) “Point”, which is the second benefit obtained by the second benefit acquisition lottery means 403 (stored as “unannounced point”, which is an unannounced benefit)

(Notification command means 422)
The notification command means 422 transmits to the sub-control means 300 side a point notification effect for notifying “unnotified points”, which is an unnotified benefit, and a command for effecting a stock effect. As a result, when the sub-control unit 300 receives a command for effecting point notification, the point control unit 323 executes the point notification effect. The point notification effect is performed in step S34 (FIG. 16) described later.
Further, when the sub control means 300 receives a command to effect the stock effect, the stock effect means 322 executes the stock effect.

(Unannounced benefit subtraction means 423)
The unnotified benefit subtracting means 423 is the unnotified benefit accumulated in the unnotified benefit accumulating means 421 when a command to notify the “unannounced benefit point” which is an unnotified benefit is output by the notification command means 422. The count value of “unannounced points” is subtracted. When the number to be notified is “1”, “1” is subtracted from the count value. The “subtraction” is performed in step S35 (FIG. 16) described later.

(Special state control means 430)
The special state control means 430 controls a “special state” in an “advantageous game” (AT state) described later with reference to FIG.
As the “special state”, the “special added state” described later with reference to FIG. 11 which is the first special state, and the “point added special state” described later with reference to FIG. 11 which is the second special state. "a.

As the “special state”, the “special added state of stock” that is the first special state and the “special state of adding point” that is the second special state are illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, although the “special state” has been described as “advantageous game” (AT state), the present invention is not limited to this, and a “probable game” (non-AT state) high probability state (so-called chance) described later with reference to FIG. Zone) or the like.
As shown in FIG. 9, the special state control means 430 includes (1) first special state control means 431 and (2) second special state control means 432. Note that the means of the special state control means 430 is not limited to the above-described (1) and (2), and may include other special state control means, for example.

(First special state control means 431)
The first special state control means 431 controls a “stock added special state” that is a first special state. The “stock added special state”, which is the “first special state”, will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, but “stock”, which is the first benefit, can be obtained with higher probability than the basic state “AT basic state”. It is a state.

(Second special state control means 432)
The second special state control means 432 controls the “specialized state with point addition” which is the second special state. The “specialized state with added points”, which is the second special state, will be described later with reference to FIG. It is.

(Description of gaming state shown in FIG. 10)
Next, the “gaming state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “gaming state” is managed by the main control means 200 shown in FIG. 3 alone. As shown in FIG. 10, the “gaming state” is roughly divided into a normal state (RT0), an internal winning state (RBBF), a bonus game state ( RBB). Specifically, the “game state” is controlled by the game state control means 250 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

(Normal state (RT0))
The “normal state” (RT0) is a game state that is normally or generally performed, and is a game state other than an “in-winning state” described later and a “bonus state”. The normal state (RT0) is controlled by normal state control means 251 shown in FIG. In the “normal state”, a lottery such as “bonus transitioning combination” for determining whether or not to shift to the “bonus state” is executed.

(Internal winning state (RBBF))
The “internally winning state” (RBBF) is a gaming state that shifts by winning a “bonus transition role” in the “normal state”. The “in-winning state” is controlled by the internal-winning state control means 252 shown in FIG. In the “internally winning state”, when “design related to bonus transition role”, for example, “RS (red 7), W1 (watermelon 1), RS (red 7)” is aligned, the state shifts to “bonus gaming state”. .

(Bonus game status (RBB))
The “bonus gaming state” (RBB) is a gaming state in which a so-called “RB” is continuously operated. The “bonus game state” is controlled by the bonus state control means 253 shown in FIG. The “bonus game state” shifts from the “internally winning state” and may shift from the “normal state”, and ends with a payout of medals exceeding a predetermined number, for example, 200.

(Description of common control state shown in FIG. 11)
The “common control state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “common control state” is managed jointly by the main control means 200 and the sub control means 300 shown in FIG. 3, and can be roughly divided into “normal game” (non-AT state) and “advantageous game” (AT State). Specifically, the “common control state” is controlled by the main side common control state control means 260 and the sub side common control state control means 320.

The “normal game” is a “non-AT state”, and is roughly classified into a “normal state” and a “high probability state” (chance zone).
The “normal state” is a state excluding a special state such as a “high probability state” described later. In the “normal state”, the “AT lottery” by the AT lottery means 401 shown in FIG. 6 and the transition lottery to the “high probability state” by the game progress lottery means 400 are executed.
When the “AT lottery” is won in the “normal state”, the game shifts to an advantageous game (AT state) described later. In addition, if you win the lottery to move to the “high probability state” in “normal state”,
The high probability state transition means 408 shifts to the “high probability state” via the “predictor state”.

The “high probability state” is called a “chance zone” and shifts from the “normal state” through a “predictor state” (not shown). In the “high probability state”, the winning probability of “AT lottery” by the AT lottery means 401 shown in FIG. 6 is set high. When the “AT lottery” is won, it shifts to an advantageous game (AT state) described later. On the other hand, when the “AT lottery” is not won, the “high probability state” returns to the “normal state”.
The “chance zone” is composed of a plurality of games, and a chance point acquisition lottery is executed during the game. The acquisition lottery is to determine one of “0” to “7” chance points. As a result of the winning lottery, the chance points acquired are accumulated, and when the total number of accumulated chance points is 7 or more, “AT transition” is confirmed, and the advantageous game (AT state) described later from the chance zone Migrate to

(Advantageous game (AT state))
The “advantageous game” is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal game” and is in the “AT state”.
“Advantageous games” are roughly classified into “AT ready state”, “AT basic state” (basic state), and “special state”. The “special state” is roughly classified into a “first special state” and a “second special state”. The “first special state” includes a “stock added special state”, and the “second special state” includes a “point added special state”. In addition, although “AT ready state”, “AT basic state”, and “special state” are illustrated as “advantageous games”, the present invention is not limited to this, and other states may be included. In addition, although “first special state” and “second special state” are illustrated as “special states”, the present invention is not limited to this, and other special states may be included.
When the game shifts to the “AT state”, which is an “advantageous game”, a game (AT) in which the push order of the selected small role is notified is started, and the player is selected by operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified push order. A combination of symbols of a small role can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

The “AT ready state” determines the initial number of games in an “AT basic state” to be described later. When the predetermined number of games (2G) is finished, the state shifts to the “AT basic state”.
Note that 2G is exemplified as the “AT ready state”, but the number of games is not limited to 2G, and is not limited to the number of games, and may be payout number management or difference number management.

The “AT basic state” is a “basic state” of “advantageous game”, and is a state that is executed for the initial number of games determined in the “AT ready state”. During the “AT basic state”, the next lottery is executed. In addition, the kind of lottery is not limited to following (1)-(4).
(1) “Stock lottery” by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402
(2) “Point lottery” by the second benefit acquisition lottery means 403
(3) “First special state transition lottery” indicating whether or not to shift to the “specialized stock addition state” that is the first special state by the first special state transition lottery means 404
(4) “Second special state transfer lottery” for determining whether or not to shift to the “specialized state with added point” which is the second special state by the second special state transfer lottery means 405
When “stock”, which is the first benefit, is acquired during the “AT basic state”, the AT preparation state is started after the initial number of games is consumed, and the advantageous game is continued. On the other hand, when “stock” is not acquired, after the initial number of games is exhausted, the “normal game” “normal state” is entered.

  The “stock added special state” is a first special state and is a state in which “stock” that is the first benefit can be obtained with higher probability than the “AT basic state” that is the basic state. The “stock added special state” shifts by winning “first special state transition lottery” by the first special state transition lottery means 404 in the “AT basic state”.

  The “point addition special state” is a second special state, and is a state in which “point”, which is the second benefit, can be obtained with higher probability than the “AT basic state” that is the basic state. The “point specialization state” shifts by winning the “second special state transition lottery” by the second special state transition lottery means 405 in the “AT basic state”.

(Description of the basic flow of the game shown in FIG. 12)
The basic flow of the game will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control means 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.
Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a prescribed number of bets (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

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

In addition, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 270 of the main control unit 200 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control unit 300. When the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

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

(Description of the lottery flow in the advantageous game shown in FIG. 13)
With reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, an example of a lottery flow in a game during an advantageous game (AT basic state) will be described.
First, it progresses to step S20 and performs a role lottery. The role lottery is executed by the role lottery means 210 shown in FIG.

  After the role lottery, the process proceeds from step S20 to step S21, and the first game (1G) in the “AT basic state” (basic state) of “AT set start game”, that is, “advantageous game” (AT state) shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not. This determination is executed by the game progress lottery means 400 shown in FIG.

As a result of the determination, if it is determined that “AT set start game” (1G of the AT basic state), the process proceeds from step S21 to step S22, and “stock acquisition flag” is set to “0” (hereinafter referred to as “flag”). 0 ”) is set. The setting is executed by the game progress lottery means 400 shown in FIG.
Here, the “stock acquisition flag” is a flag indicating whether or not a stock ((first benefit) has been acquired by a stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery). When it becomes “Flag 0” and the stock is acquired, it changes to “Flag 1.” By acquiring the stock, that is, by changing to “Flag 1”, the stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery), point lottery (second benefit acquisition) (Lottery) etc. are switched between low / high probability of the lottery probability.

After the above setting, the process proceeds from step S22 to step S23, and “point lottery” (second benefit acquisition lottery) according to the result of the role lottery is executed. The “point lottery” is executed by the second benefit acquisition lottery means 403 shown in FIG.
On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S21 described above is not “AT set start game” (1G in the AT basic state), that is, after 2G, the process branches and proceeds directly to step S23.
After “point lottery”, the process proceeds from step S23 to step S24, and “transition lottery” (second special state transition lottery to the second special state “point addition special state”) corresponding to the result of the role lottery is executed. Is done. The “transition lottery” is executed by the second special state transition lottery means 405 shown in FIG. As the “transition lottery”, the second special state transition lottery to the “specialized state for adding points” that is the second special state is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. May include a first special state transition lottery.

After the lottery, the process proceeds from step S24 to step S25, and the “stock lottery” (first benefit acquisition lottery) corresponding to the result of the role lottery is executed. The “stock lottery” is executed by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 shown in FIG.
After the lottery, the process proceeds from step S25 to step S26, and it is determined whether or not the result of “stock lottery” is “winning”. This determination is executed by the game progress lottery means 400 shown in FIG.

As a result of the above determination, if the “stock lottery” is “winning”, the process proceeds from step S26 to step S27, and “1” (hereinafter also referred to as “flag 1”) is set in the “stock acquisition flag”. The setting is executed by the game progress lottery means 400 shown in FIG.
After the above setting, the flowchart is terminated. In the subsequent games, even when “stock lottery” is “winned”, the state of “flag 1” is maintained.
On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S26 described above is that “stock lottery” is not “winning”, the process branches and ends the flowchart. At this time, if the “stock lottery” is “unwined” in the previous game, the “stock acquisition flag” is “0” (flag 0) set in step S22. If the “stock lottery” is “winning”, the “stock acquisition flag” is maintained at the state of “1” (flag 1) set in step S27 in the previous game.

  If the advantageous game (AT state) is continued by the “stock” acquired during the game section (set), at the time of transition to the next game section (set), “stock acquisition” is performed in step S22. The “flag” is set from “flag 1” to “flag 0”, but the state of “flag 1” of the “stock acquisition flag” may be maintained in the next game section.

(Description of the lottery table used in the game progress lottery shown in FIG. 14)
An example of a lottery table used for game progress lottery will be described with reference to FIG. The lottery table is executed for each combination because the game progress lottery is executed based on the result of the combination lottery. Hereinafter, a lottery table is exemplified for one combination (for example, a strong cherry combination). In addition, it is not limited to the numerical value illustrated as a lottery probability.
In the case of a so-called rare role (weak cherry role, strong cherry role, weak watermelon role, strong watermelon role, chance role, etc.), the lottery probability may be the same, or the lottery probability may be the same regardless of the winning role. Good.

(Point lottery table)
FIG. 14A is a lottery table used for “point lottery” which is the second benefit acquisition lottery.
The “number of points” that can be acquired is set from “0” to a maximum of “7”. The “point lottery” is divided into “flag 0” and “flag 1” described with reference to FIG. In the case of “flag 1”, as described above with reference to step S27 of FIG. 13, “stock lottery” which is the first benefit acquisition lottery is won.
In the case of “0” in “number of points”, when winning, “0” points are acquired, which is substantially equivalent to “losing” of “point lottery”. In the case of “0” in “Points” and “Flag 0”, the lottery probability is “252/256”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) is “230/256”.

When the “number of points” is “1” and the flag is “0”, the lottery probability is “4/256”, and the “flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) is “16/256”. As a result, the “flag 0” before winning the stock lottery is set to “low probability state”, and the “flag 1” after winning the stock lottery is set to “high probability state”.
The explanation for “Points” from “2” to the maximum “7” is omitted, but in the case of “Flag 0” before winning the stock lottery, it will be in the “low probability state” after winning the stock lottery. In the case of “Flag 1”, “highly accurate state” is set.
In addition, although “0” to “7” are exemplified as “number of points”, the present invention is not limited to this, and lottery may be performed in two stages except “0”. For example, the “winning” or “no” may be first lottery, and the number of “points” (second benefit) acquired may be secondarily drawn when the primary lottery is won. Alternatively, the number of “points” (second benefit) acquired may be fixed to “1”, for example, and only “win / no-go” may be selected. Further, although the maximum “7” is set as the “number of points”, the maximum may be set from “1” to “6”, or may be set to “8” or more.

(Transition lottery lottery table)
The lottery table for the transition lottery is the same as the lottery table used for the second special state transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the “specialized state for adding points” which is the second special state shown in FIG. There is a lottery table used in the first special state transition lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “specialized stock addition state” which is the first special state shown in d).
In the lottery table shown in FIG. 14B, the lottery probability is “255/256” when “Win / No Win” is “Non-win” and “Flag 0”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) ) Is “240/256”.
When “Win” is “Winning” and “Flag 0”, the lottery probability is “1/256”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) is “16/256”. As a result, in the case of the second special state transition lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “specialized point added state” that is the second special state, in the case of “Flag 0” before the winning of the stock lottery, “low probability” In the “state”, in the case of “flag 1” after winning the stock lottery, “highly accurate state” is set.

(Stock lottery table)
FIG. 14C is a lottery table used for “stock lottery” which is the first benefit acquisition lottery.
When “Win / No Win” is “Non-Win” and “Flag 0”, the lottery probability is “248/256”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) is “255/256”.
When “Win / No” is “Winning” and “Flag 0”, the lottery probability is “8/256”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) is “1/256”. As a result, in the case of “Flag 0” before winning the stock lottery, the “high probability state” is set, and in the case of “Flag 1” after winning the stock lottery, the “low probability state” is set.

In the lottery table shown in FIG. 14D, the lottery probability is “240/256” when “Win / No Win” is “Non-Win” and “Flag 0”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) ) Is “255/256”.
When “Win” is “Winning” and “Flag 0”, the lottery probability is “16/256”, and “Flag 1” (at the time of winning the stock lottery) is “1/256”. As a result, in the case of the first special state transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the “specialized stock addition state” that is the first special state, in the case of “Flag 0” before winning the stock lottery, “high accuracy” In the “status”, in the case of “flag 1” after winning the stock lottery, “low probability state” is set.

(Description of the switching timing of the lottery table shown in FIG. 15)
An example of the lottery table switching timing will be described with reference to FIG.
In this example, in “20G”, “stock lottery” which is the first benefit acquisition lottery by the first benefit acquisition lottery means 402 shown in FIG. 6 is won, and “stock” which is the first benefit is acquired. Assume the case.
The lottery table used for the “stock lottery”, which is the first benefit acquisition lottery, is in a “high probability state” between “1G” and “20G”, and the next game that acquired “stock”, that is, “21G” and thereafter. , “High accuracy state” is switched to “low accuracy state”. As a result, between 1G and 20G, the game is aimed at acquiring stock.
The lottery table used for “point lottery” which is the second benefit acquisition lottery is in a “low probability state” between “1G” and “20G”, and the next game that acquired “stock”, that is, “21G” and thereafter. , “Low accuracy state” is switched to “high accuracy state”. As a result, after “21G”, “points” can be easily acquired, so that the game is switched to the gameability aimed at acquiring “points”.

The lottery table used for the first special state transition lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “specialized stock addition state” that is the first special state is in the “highly accurate state” between “1G” and “20G”. In the next game that has acquired “stock”, that is, “21G” and thereafter, the “high probability state” is switched to the “low probability state”. As a result, between “1G” and “20G”, the game is centered on the acquisition of “stock” aiming at the transition to the “specialized state with added stock” which is the first special state.
The lottery table used for the second special state transition lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “specialized point added state” that is the second special state is in the “low probability state” between “1G” and “20G”. In the next game that has acquired “stock”, that is, “21G” and thereafter, the “low probability state” is switched to the “high probability state”. As a result, after “21G”, the gameability aims to shift to the “specialized state with added points” that is the second special state, and switches to the gameability centered on the acquisition of “points”.

(Description of the point notification flow shown in FIG. 16)
The flow of point notification in one game during an advantageous game will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the process proceeds to step S30, and it is determined whether or not “stock” that is not divided into unannounced points exceeds “0”, that is, “1” or more. This determination is made by the benefit management means 410 shown in FIG. “Stock” is stored in the benefit storage means 411.
In addition, when “stock”, which is the first benefit acquired at the first time as described above, and “stock”, which is the first benefit obtained during the first special state, are not divided. The “stock”, which is the first benefit obtained, is not subject to the determination.

  As a result of the determination, if “stock” exceeds “0”, that is, if it is “1” or more, the process proceeds to step S31, and whether or not the stock has been acquired in the stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery). Is determined. This determination is executed by the notification management means 420 shown in FIG. That is, the “stock” stored in the benefit storage means 411 includes “stock” converted by accumulating a predetermined number of points acquired in the point lottery (second benefit acquisition lottery), This is to eliminate this.

  As a result of the determination, if the stock has been acquired in the stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery), the process proceeds from step S31 to the next step S32, and the “point conversion process” is executed. This process is executed by the benefit dividing means 413 shown in FIG. As the “point conversion processing”, “stock” is multiplied by “maximum point value”, that is, “7” points of “number of points” described later with reference to FIG. "Acquired points" = "Stock" x "Maximum point value"). The “acquired points” is added to the “unannounced points” accumulated in the unannounced benefit accumulating means 421 shown in FIG. As a result, the total value after the addition is stored as “unnotified points” in the unnotified benefit accumulation means 421 shown in FIG.

  After the “point conversion process”, the process proceeds from step S32 to the next step S33, where it is determined whether or not the “unnotified point” exceeds “0”, that is, “1” or more. This determination is executed by the notification management means 420 shown in FIG.

  As a result of the determination in step S33, if the “unnotified point” exceeds “0”, that is, if it is “1” or more, the process proceeds to the next step S34, where “point notification effect” (display processing) is performed. Executed. This processing is executed by the point effecting means 323 of the sub-control means 300 based on the instruction to notify from the notice command means 422 shown in FIG. The timing of the “point notification effect” is based on the condition that the result of the determination in the above-described step S33 is that the “unnotified point” exceeds “0”, that is, “1” or more. If the result of the determination in step S33 described above is that the “unannounced point” exceeds “0”, that is, “1” or more, is the “unannounced point” notified to the player? It may be determined whether or not “notification lottery” is performed by the “notification lottery means” described above and the “notification lottery” is won.

  At this time, if the “display point” exceeds a specified number, for example, “7”, “stock effect” is executed. The “display point” is a numerical value in the “point” column displayed on the display screen of the display device 84 to be described later with reference to FIG. When the “numerical value” exceeds “7”, “stock effect” is executed in addition to “point notification effect” (display processing). The determination as to whether or not the “display point” exceeds the prescribed number “7” is executed by the notification management means 420 shown in FIG. The notification management means 420 transmits an instruction to execute the “stock effect” to the sub-control means 300 side, and the stock effect means 322 executes the “stock effect” based on the command.

After the “point notification effect” (display processing) in step S33, the process proceeds to the next step S35, and the “notification point” after notification is subtracted from the “unnotified point”. The subtraction is executed by the notification management means 420 shown in FIG. The subtraction result is accumulated in the unreported benefit accumulation means 421.
After the subtraction, the flowchart is finished.
On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S33 is that the “unannounced point” does not exceed “0”, that is, if it is “0”, the flowchart ends.

On the other hand, if “stock” does not exceed “0” as a result of the determination in step S30 described above, that is, if it is “0”, the process branches and proceeds directly to step S33.
In addition, as a result of the determination in step S31 described above, if the stock is not acquired in the stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery), a predetermined number of points acquired in the point lottery (second benefit acquisition lottery) are accumulated. In the case of the “stock” converted by this, the “point conversion process” in step S32 described above is not necessary, so the process branches and proceeds directly to step S33.

(Description of an example of the display screen of the display device shown in FIGS. 17 and 18)
An example of the display screen of the display device 84 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, “Example 1” will be described with reference to FIGS. 17A to 17E and FIGS. In this example, when “stock” is acquired as a result of “stock lottery”, “point conversion processing” is executed in step S32 of FIG. 16 described above, and the benefit dividing means 413 shown in FIG. This is a case of being divided into “unannounced points”. In this example, division may be executed when “stock” from the next time onward is acquired, or whether to “divide” from the next time on may be determined by lottery.
Further, “Example 2” will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, when “stock” is acquired as a result of “stock lottery”, it is determined whether or not it is the first time. "Division" is executed when "" is acquired. In this example, it may be determined by lottery whether or not to “divide” from the next time.

(Description of Example 1 shown in FIGS. 17A to 17E and FIGS. 18F to 18)
As shown in FIG. 17A, the count values of “stock”, “point (stock)”, and “unannounced points” are all “0” in the 1Gth. The count value is stored in the benefit storage means 411 shown in FIG. 7 in the case of “stock” and “point (stock)”, and is stored in the unnotified benefit storage means 421 shown in FIG. Has been. In addition, the count value of “stock” here is “stock” acquired in the stock lottery (first benefit acquisition lottery), and “(stock)” in the “point” column is “stock” converted from points. Is. At this time, the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is “0”.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, when “stock” is acquired as a result of “stock lottery”, the “stock” count value changes from “0” to “1” as shown in FIG. When “stock” is acquired, “point conversion processing” is executed in step S32 of FIG. 16 described above. That is, the benefit dividing means 413 shown in FIG. 7 divides “stock” into seven “unannounced points”, and the count value of “unannounced points” changes from “0” to “7”.

  Next, the process proceeds to FIG. 17C, and the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 changes from “0” to “1”. Further, “1” is subtracted from the count value of “unannounced points”, and “7” is changed to “6”. That is, in step S32 of FIG. 16 described above, after the “point conversion process” is executed, it is determined in next step S33 whether the “unannounced point” is “0” or not. At this time, “point conversion processing” is executed in the previous step, and “stock” is divided into seven “unannounced points”, so the process proceeds to the next step S34, where “point notification effect” is executed. Is done. As the “point notification effect”, “1” is displayed in “point” on the screen of the display device 84. After the “point notification effect”, the process proceeds to the next step S35, where subtraction of unnotified points is executed, so that the count value of “unnotified points” is subtracted.

As an effect of acquiring “stock” by “stock lottery”, the “lottery table” is switched as described with reference to FIG.
That is, the lottery table used for the “stock lottery” is switched from “high probability state” to “low probability state”, and the lottery table used for “point lottery” is switched from “low probability state” to “high probability state”. As a result, in the next game, ie “21G” and later, “stock” becomes difficult to obtain, whereas “points” are more likely to be obtained. Will be switched to the playability aiming to acquire.
In addition, the lottery table used for the first special state transition lottery changes from “high probability state” to “low probability state”, and the lottery table used for the second special state transition lottery changes from “low probability state” to “high probability state”, respectively. Switch. As a result, in the next game, that is, “21G” and later, it becomes difficult to shift to the “stock added special state”, but on the other hand, it becomes easier to shift to the “point added special state”. The game characteristics aiming at the transition to the “state” are switched to the game characteristics aiming at the transition to the “specialized state with added points”, that is, the game characteristics aiming at the mass acquisition of “points”.

Thereafter, “unannounced points” are announced every 1G, and as shown in FIG. 17D, when proceeding to 26G, “7” is displayed in the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84, The count value of “notification point” is “0”. At this time, “stock effect” is displayed on the screen of the display device 84.
In addition, although an “unannounced point” is notified every 1G, the present invention is not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 17 (e), when the “point lottery” results in “point” being “1”, that is, “1 point” is acquired, the count value of “count” is “0”. To "1". At this time, since “points” are accumulated as “unannounced points”, the count value of “unannounced points” also changes from “0” to “1”.
When the “unannounced points” are accumulated, the process proceeds from step S33 of FIG. 16 described above to step S34 to execute “point announcement effect”, and then the unannounced points are subtracted in the next step S35. Is done.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 18 (f), “1” is added to the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84, and the value changes from “0” to “1”. The count value of “unannounced points” is changed from “1” to “0” by subtracting “1”.

Thereafter, although not shown in the drawing, the total of “points” acquired as a result of “point lottery” by “59G” becomes “5 points”. As shown in g), the count value of “point” is “7”.
As a result, the benefit conversion means 412 shown in FIG. 7 converts “7 points” into “1 stock”, and the count value of “(stock)” changes from “0” to “1”.
Of the acquired “2 points”, “1 point” is notified, and “1” is subtracted from the “unnotified points”. Therefore, “6” is displayed as the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84, and the count value of “unannounced point” is “1”.
The effect of acquiring “stock” by acquiring “7 points” is the continuation of “advantageous game”, and the “lottery table” is not switched as described with reference to FIG.

  When proceeding from “60G” to “61G”, as shown in FIG. 18 (h), the remaining “1 point” notification is executed, and “7” is displayed as the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84. Thus, the count value of “unannounced points” is “0”.

  Since “7” is displayed as the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84, as shown in FIG. 18 (i), the second “stock effect” is displayed. The “stock effect” may be the same as or different from the first one shown in FIG.

(Description of Example 2 shown in FIG. 18)
“Example 2” is a case where, when “stock” is acquired as a result of “stock lottery”, “division” is not executed only for the first time, and “division” is executed after the next time.
Until the 19th G, “Stock” and “Points” are not acquired, and when “Stock” is acquired as a result of “Stock Lottery” in the 20th G, the “Stock” count value is changed from “0” to “1”. change. In addition, since it is the first time, “division” is not executed, and “stock effect” is displayed on the screen of the display device 84. At this time, the count value of “point (stock)” and “unannounced point” and the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 are all “0”.
As described above with reference to FIG. 15, the “lottery table” is switched, and the gameability aimed at acquiring “stock” is switched to the gameability aimed at acquiring “points”.

(Description of Example 3 shown in FIGS. 19 and 20)
“Example 3” will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. In this example, when the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 reaches “7”, “stock effect” is displayed.
As shown in FIG. 19A, all “3” “points” acquired as a result of “point lottery” by the 50th G are announced, and the value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is “3”. " Also, until the 50th G, “stock lottery” has not been won. As a result, the count value of “stock” is “0”, the count value of “point” is “3”, the count value of “(stock)” and “unannounced points” is “0”.

Proceeding to the 51st G, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), “stock lottery” was won and “stock” was won.
At this time, as the effect of acquiring “stock” by “stock lottery”, the “lottery table” is switched as described with reference to FIG.
The acquired “stock” is divided into seven “unannounced points”. As a result, the count value of “unannounced points” changes from “0” to “7”.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19C, the “unannounced point” notification is executed, “1” is added to the “point” on the screen of the display device 84, and the numerical value is changed from “3” to “4”. Changes to. At this time, “1” is subtracted from the “unannounced point”, and the count value changes from “7” to “6”.

From the next game, “1” “unannounced points” are announced one by one, and as shown in FIG. 19 (d), when proceeding to 54 G, the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is “7”. Become. At this time, the count value of “unannounced points” is “3”. That is, among the seven “unannounced points” divided from “stock”, “4” were announced, and as a result of “point lottery”, “3” notifications of “points” acquired were obtained. In addition, a total of 7 “unannounced points” have been announced.
In addition, although an “unannounced point” is notified every 1G, the present invention is not limited to this.

As an effect of the value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 being “7”, “stock effect” is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG.
By displaying “stock production” on “54th G”, it is possible to notify that the gameability aimed at acquiring “stock” has been switched to the gameability aimed at acquiring “point”. Actually, the “lottery table” has already been switched to “51G”, which is the previous game that won the “stock lottery” and acquired “stock”, as an effect of acquiring “stock”. Although the “stock effect” is delayed by several games, the player who is playing the game based on the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 displays the “stock effect” as “point”. It becomes an opportunity to switch to the playability aimed at acquisition and becomes extremely useful information.

Next, proceeding to 55G, as shown in FIG. 20F, the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is reset, and “0” is displayed.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 20G, among the remaining three “unannounced points”, “1” is notified, and the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is changed from “0” to “1”. " As a result, “1” is subtracted from the “unannounced point”, and the count value is changed from “3” to “2”.

Further, proceeding to the 56th G, as shown in FIG. 20 (h), among the remaining two “unannounced points”, “1” is announced, and the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is “ It changes from “1” to “2”. As a result, “1” is subtracted from the “unannounced point”, and the count value is changed from “2” to “1”.
Similarly, proceeding to 57G, as shown in FIG. 20 (i), among the remaining “unannounced points”, “1” is announced, and the numerical value of “point” on the screen of the display device 84 is It changes from “2” to “3”. As a result, “1” is subtracted from “unannounced points”, the count value changes from “1” to “0”, and all the seven “unannounced points” divided from “stock” are announced. Ends.

(Explanation of Second Embodiment Using FIG. 21)
A second embodiment of the benefit management means 410 will be described with reference to FIG.
A feature of this embodiment is that the benefit management means 410 is provided with a divided lottery means 500.
