  Next, the transition of various game modes and the flow of processing in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the transition states of various gaming states of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

First, the gaming machine 1 is a normal mode that is a mode in which a game is played in a normal gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player, a state that is advantageous to the player, and a challenge mode that is a mode in which a game is played in a special gaming state. There is a ream mode that is a mode for playing a game in a specific game state that is advantageous to the player in a form different from the mode and the special game state.

  First, the transition of the gaming state when the symbol A is won when the gaming machine 1 is playing in the normal mode will be described. In this case, the gaming machine 1 plays a game in a normal mode that is disadvantageous to the player. When a game is played in the normal mode, the state of the gaming machine 1 is a state of “low accuracy + no time reduction”, that is, a normal mode (low accuracy + no time reduction) shown in FIG. Here, “low accuracy” means a state in which no probability change is given, and “no time reduction” means a state in which no time reduction is given. That is, in the state of the normal mode (low accuracy + no time saving), the game is played in a state where neither probability change nor time reduction is given.

  When a game is played in the normal mode (low accuracy + no short time) and the symbol A is won, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 0.004 seconds. Then, the big winning opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed 12 times, that is, 12 rounds, in which a game in which 7 game balls can be won is played. When the big hit game is finished up to 12 rounds, the subsequent ending effect is displayed on the symbol display device for 5 seconds. In addition, while the ending effect is being performed, the symbol display device also performs a forgetting display. The ending effect and the forgotten display at this time may be displayed together in the symbol display device, the ending effect is performed by the symbol display device, and the forgotten display is a display device different from the symbol display device. You may go on. When the ending effect and the forgotten display are collectively displayed in the symbol display device, the display may be switched to the forgotten display after the ending effect, or may be displayed in other modes.

  When the forgotten display is performed in this way and the ending effect time of 5 seconds elapses, the gaming machine shifts to the continuous mode set as the winning mode. Further, at this time, the probability state after hitting becomes “high accuracy”, and the probability variation is given. Also, time savings are given until the next game. In other words, the mode shifts to the ream mode in a state in which the state of “low accuracy + no time saving” is changed to the state of “high accuracy + time saving”. That is, if a game is played in the normal mode (low accuracy + no short time) and the symbol A is won, the subsequent game mode becomes the ream mode (high accuracy + short time).

  Next, the transition of the game state when the symbols B, C, and D are won when the game machine 1 is playing in the normal mode (low accuracy + no time saving) state will be described. First, the gaming machine in this case is in the normal mode (low accuracy + no time saving) shown in FIG. When a game is played in the normal mode (low accuracy + no time saving) and one of symbols B, C, and D is won, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 14 seconds. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. The number of round games varies depending on the winning symbol. When the winning symbol is symbol B, the round is played three times, that is, three rounds. When the winning symbol is symbols C and D, twelve times, that is, 12 Round done. These round games become the big hit games described above.

  When the game of the last round (game of the third round when the winning symbol is symbol B, game of the 12th round when the winning symbol is symbol C, D) is finished, the ending effect is next. Done. When the winning symbols are symbols B, C, and D, the ending effect time is 35.0 seconds, and no forgotten display is performed when the ending effect is being performed. This is a challenge mode that is set as a hit mode, as will be described later, and is not a mode in which the player can expect to win many prize balls as in the Ren-chan mode. In this case, the game balls that have already been lent to the player may not be used for the game, and the game balls are used again using the storage medium. If the display is forgotten when the mode of the game is improving for the player and the interest of the game is improving, the player's interest will be lost. This is to prevent this because there is a fear.

  As described above, when the ending effect is performed for 35.0 seconds and the round game is finished, the gaming machine 1 shifts to the challenge mode set as the winning mode. Also, at this time, when winning in symbols B and C, the probability state after winning is “high probability”, the probability change is given, and the state of the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) shown in FIG. 2 is obtained. On the other hand, when winning with the symbol D, the probability state after winning remains “low probability” and no probability change is given, so the state becomes the challenge mode (low accuracy + no time reduction) shown in FIG. The time saving given at this time is up to 10 games. That is, when winning in symbols B and C, the mode changes from the normal mode (low accuracy + no time saving) to the challenge mode (high accuracy + time saving), and when winning in symbol D, normal Transition from the mode (low accuracy + short time) state to the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time state).

  Next, the transition of the gaming state when transitioning to the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) state or the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) state will be described. As described above, the transition to the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) state or challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) state is one of the symbols B, C, D in the game in the normal mode. This is the case when winning the symbol. As shown in FIG. 2, the challenge mode includes a challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) and a challenge mode (low accuracy + short time). These two modes will be described.

  First, the case where the mode is shifted to the challenge mode in the state of “high accuracy + short time”, that is, the case where the state is shifted to the state of the challenge mode (high accuracy + time short) shown in FIG. 2 will be described. In this case, symbols A, B, C, and D are all symbols that may be won. However, as shown in FIG. 4, when the winning symbols are symbols A, B, and C, the winning symbol is symbol D, although the mode is changed from challenge mode to Ren-chan mode as the winning mode. In some cases, the winning mode is the challenge mode, and the game in the challenge mode is continued.

  In the challenge mode, if none of the symbols A, B, C, and D is won during 10 games, the game is shifted from the challenge mode to the normal mode.

  Next, regarding the progress of the game when one of the symbols A, B, C, D is won while the game is in the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) in the game of 1 to 10 times explain. First, the progress of the game when winning one of symbols A, B, and C in the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) will be described. In this case, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 0.004 seconds. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. This round game is different depending on the winning symbol. When the winning symbol is symbol A or C, it is played 12 times, that is, 12 rounds, and when the winning symbol is symbol B, it is three times, that is, three rounds. Done. These round games become big hit games.

  When the game of the last round is reached (when the winning symbol is symbol A or C, the game of the 12th round, when the winning symbol is symbol B, the game of the third round) is reached. The symbol display device 22 displays forgetting to remove it. This is because the time of the ending effect performed after the game of the last round is very short, 0.004 seconds, so even if the forgetting display is performed together with this ending effect, it is memorized for the player. This is because it is impossible to call attention to forgetting to remove the media.

  It should be noted that the various effects performed on the symbol display device 22 and the forgotten display at the time of the game of the final round at this time may be displayed together in the symbol display device, and the various effects relating to the game of the final round are displayed as symbols. The display may be performed by the device 22 and the forgotten display may be performed by a display device different from the symbol display device. In addition, when displaying various effects related to the game of the last round and the forgotten display together in the symbol display device, the display may be switched to the display of forgotten after the various effects related to the game of the final round, It may be displayed in other modes.

  As described above, when the ending effect is performed for 0.004 seconds and the round game is ended, the gaming machine 1 shifts to the continuous mode set as the winning mode. Also, at this time, when winning with symbols A, B, and C, the probability state after winning becomes “high probability”, and a probability change is given. Also, if the winning symbol is symbol A, B, or C, a time reduction that is valid until the next game is given. That is, when winning in symbols A, B, and C, the state shifts from the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) state shown in FIG. 2 to the continuous mode (high accuracy + short time) state. It should be noted that time saving will not be given in the next and subsequent games. Therefore, in the next and subsequent games, the state of the Ren-chan mode (high accuracy + short time) shifts to the state of the Ren-chan mode (high accuracy + no short time).

  Next, a description will be given of the progress of the game when the symbol D is won while the game in the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) is performed 1 to 10 times. In this case, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 0.004 seconds. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. This round game is played 12 times, that is, a big hit game that is performed 12 rounds. In this case, the ending display is 0.004 seconds. When the symbol D is won, the forget-to-go display is not performed as shown in FIG. 2, and the challenge mode, which is the winning mode, is performed. As shown in FIG. 4 and as described above, when the symbol D is won, the game in the challenge mode is continued. The game in the challenge mode is not a mode in which the player can expect a lot of prize balls as in the Ren-chan mode, and the player often plays continuously without leaving the seat, In this case, the game balls that have already been lent to the player may not be used for the game, and there is a high possibility that the game balls will be rented again using the storage medium. This is to prevent this because it is a challenge mode, and if the display is forgotten when the interest of the game is improved for the player, there is a risk of losing the interest of the player.

  As described above, when the ending display is performed for 0.004 seconds and the round game is ended, the gaming machine 1 continues to perform the game in the challenge mode set as the mode after winning. Further, in this case, since the winning is in the symbol D, the probability state after hitting is “low probability”, and the probability variation is not given. In addition, time is given up to 10 games. In other words, when winning with the symbol D, the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) is changed to the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time), and the game is continuously continued in the challenge mode. .

  Next, the case where the mode is shifted to the challenge mode in the state of “low accuracy + short time”, that is, the case where the state is shifted to the challenge mode (low accuracy + time short) shown in FIG. 2 will be described. In this case, symbols A, B, C, and D are all symbols that may be won. However, as shown in FIG. 4, when the winning symbols are symbols A, B, and C, the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) is changed from the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) to the winning mode. If the winning symbol is symbol D, the winning mode will be the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) and the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) will continue. A game in the state of is performed.

  The progress of the game when one of the symbols A, B, C, and D is won while the game is performed in the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) in the game of 1 to 10 times will be described. First, the progress of the game when one of the symbols A, B, and C is won will be described. In this case, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 0.004 seconds. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. This round game is different depending on the winning symbol. When the winning symbol is symbol A or C, it is played 12 times, that is, 12 rounds, and when the winning symbol is symbol B, it is three times, that is, three rounds. Done. These round games become jackpot games.

  When the game of the last round is reached (when the winning symbol is symbol A or C, the game of the 12th round, when the winning symbol is symbol B, the game of the third round) is reached. The symbol display device 22 displays forgetting to remove it. This is because the time of the ending effect performed after the game of the last round is very short, 0.004 seconds, so even if the forgetting display is performed together with this ending effect, it is memorized for the player. This is because it is impossible to call attention to forgetting to remove the media.

  It should be noted that the various effects and the forgotten display that are performed on the symbol display device 22 during the game of the final round at this time may be displayed together in the symbol display device, and the various effects related to the gaming machine of the final round are the symbols The display may be performed on the display device, and the forgotten display may be performed on a display device different from the symbol display device. In addition, when displaying various effects related to the game of the last round and the forgotten display together in the symbol display device, the display may be switched to the display of forgotten after the various effects related to the game of the final round, It may be displayed in other modes.

  As described above, when the ending display is performed for 0.004 seconds and the round game is ended, the gaming machine 1 shifts to the continuous mode set as the winning mode. Also, at this time, when winning with symbols A, B, and C, the probability state after winning becomes “high probability”, and a probability change is given. Also, when the winning symbols are symbols A, B, and C, a short time that is valid until the next game is given. That is, in this case, the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) is changed to the continuous mode (high accuracy + short time). In this case, since the time is not given in the next and subsequent games, the mode shifts from the continuous mode (high accuracy + short time) to the continuous mode (high accuracy + short time). .

  Next, a description will be given of the progress of the game when the symbol D is won while the game in the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) is performed 1 to 10 times. In this case, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 0.004 seconds. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. This round game is performed 12 times, that is, 12 rounds.

  Then, when the game of the 12th round, which is the final round, is finished, an ending effect is performed next. The time during which the ending effect is performed is 0.004 seconds. When this ending effect is being performed, forgetting to display is not performed. This is a challenge mode that is set as a hit mode, and it is not a mode in which the player can expect to win many prize balls like the Ren-chan mode, and the player continues without leaving the seat In this case, the game ball that has already been lent to the player may not be used for the game, and the game ball is rented again using the storage medium. The possibility is high, and the mode after winning is a challenge mode. For players, if the display is forgotten when the interest of the game is improving, the player's interest may be lost. This is to prevent this.

  As described above, when the ending display is performed for 0.004 seconds and the round game is ended, the gaming machine 1 continues to perform the game in the challenge mode set as the mode after winning. Further, in this case, since the winning is performed with the symbol D, the probability state after hit becomes “low probability”, and the probability change is not given. In addition, time is given up to 10 games. That is, when winning with the symbol D, the state shifts from the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) to the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time), and continues to play the game in the challenge mode.

  In the game in the challenge mode, while the probability change is given, there is a case where the short time is not given while playing the game. That is, in this case, the challenge mode (high accuracy + no time saving) shown in FIG. 2 is set. Hereinafter, the progress of the game in the challenge mode (high accuracy + no time) will be described.

  In the case of a game in the challenge mode (high accuracy + no time), the symbols that can be won are all symbols A, B, C, and D. However, as shown in FIG. 2, when the winning symbol is symbol A, the winning symbol is symbol B, C, or D, although the mode is changed from challenge mode to Ren-chan mode as the winning mode. In some cases, the winning mode is the challenge mode, and the game is continuously performed in the challenge mode.

  The progress of the game when the symbol A is won while the game in the challenge mode (high accuracy + no time) is performed 1 to 10 times will be described. In this case, an opening effect is first performed on the symbol display device 22 for 0.004 seconds. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. This round game is performed 12 times, that is, 12 rounds.

  And when the game of the 12th round which is the last round is completed, an ending effect is displayed and performed on the symbol display device for 5 seconds. In addition, while the ending effect is being performed, the symbol display device also performs a forgetting display. Note that the ending effect and the forgotten display at this time may be displayed together in the symbol display device, or the ending effect and the forgotten display may be performed by separate display devices. When the ending effect and the forgotten display are displayed together on the symbol display device, the display may be switched to the forgotten display after the ending effect, or may be displayed in other modes.

  When the forgotten display is performed in this way and the ending effect time of 5 seconds elapses, the gaming machine shifts to the continuous mode set as the winning mode. Further, at this time, the probability state after hitting becomes “high accuracy”, and the probability variation is given. Also, time savings are given until the next game. That is, in this case, the challenge mode (high accuracy + no time reduction) is changed to the ream mode (high accuracy + time reduction) and the mode is changed to the ream mode.

  Next, the progress of the game when the symbols B, C, and D are won while the game in the challenge mode (high accuracy + no time) is performed 1 to 10 times will be described. In this case, an opening effect is first performed for 14 seconds in the symbol display device 22. Then, the grand prize opening is opened for 25.0 seconds, and during that time, a round game is performed in which a game in which seven game balls can be won is one round. This round game is performed 3 times when the winning symbol is symbol B, ie, 3 rounds, and when the winning symbol is symbols C and D, it is played 12 times, ie, 12 rounds. In addition, the time of the ending effect performed after the round game is ended is 35.0 seconds in any of the symbols B, C, and D. During this time, in the case of symbols B, C, and D, the forgetting display is not performed during the ending effect, and the challenge mode, which is the winning mode, is performed. This is a challenge mode that is set as a hit mode, and it is not a mode in which the player can expect to win many prize balls like the Ren-chan mode, and the player continues without leaving the seat In this case, the game ball that has already been lent to the player may not be used for the game, and the game ball is rented again using the storage medium. The possibility is high, and the mode after winning is the challenge mode, and if the display is forgotten for the player when the interest of the game is improving, there is a risk that the player's interest may be lost. This is to prevent this.

  As described above, when the ending display is performed for 35.0 seconds and the round game is finished, the gaming machine 1 continues to play the game in the challenge mode set as the winning mode. At this time, if the symbols B and C are won, the probability state after winning is “high probability”, and a probability change is given. On the other hand, when winning with the symbol D, the probability state after winning becomes “low probability”, and the probability change is not given. In any of the symbols B, C, and D, time is given to the game up to the tenth game. In other words, when winning in symbols B and C, the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) is changed from the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) to the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time). Play in state. In addition, when winning in symbol D, the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) changes from the challenge mode (high accuracy + short time) to the challenge mode (low accuracy + short time) state.
