A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination with which the former carry-over possible flag is associated is a bonus, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when a big bonus (BB) is won by internal lottery, a process of carrying over the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) until the big bonus (BB) wins is performed. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, the bonus lottery flag already won and the small role won in the internal lottery And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a replay lottery flag are set in a winning state.

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

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

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. It is like that. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. It is determined in the range of ~ 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed on the effective line when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line at the time when the pressing operation is performed on Control is performed so as to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button for which the pressing operation has been performed, so that the reel is displayed at the upper display position.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the white 7 symbol “white 7” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , Black 7 symbol “black 7”, BAR symbol “BAR”, replay symbol “RP”, dummy symbol “DUM”, bell symbol “BL”, watermelon symbol A “WMA”, watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and cherry symbol When “CH” is arranged and a symbol existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position is drawn on the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed. Regardless of the detection position, it can be displayed on the effective line.

  Further, the reel control means 130 is rotating with reference to the process (logic calculation) for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by priority and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the storage means 190. The process of determining the stop position of the reel (table reference process) is performed.

  First, in the logic operation, within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for 5 frames (or 2 frames) existing in (or in the range of 0 frame to 1 frame). Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> bonus” and “small role> bonus”, and in the logic operation, lottery flags regarding two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state. In the case where the winning position is included, the symbols constituting the winning form of the role with the lower priority are selected for the stop position candidates including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination with the higher priority according to the priority associated with each winning combination. The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidates for the stop positions to be included.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidate when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line. There are cases where the priority is obtained and cases where the priority is obtained according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the number of symbol combinations indicating a winning form that can be displayed on the effective line. When determining the priority for the stop position candidate according to each stop position candidate, the priority becomes higher as the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line increases. If the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the small part dividend corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line Medals enough priority payout increases stop position (stop position payout can be winning more small winning combination) based seeks priority for the candidate of each stop position to be higher. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities for the candidates are treated as the same, and when the priorities for the stop position candidates are determined according to the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line, The priorities of the stop position candidates having the same number of symbol combinations indicating the displayable winning patterns are treated as the same.

  In this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, a logic operation corresponding to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, the correct answer hit order is set for each of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 9, and a pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. Then, when any of the hitting bells is won, if the type of the stop button that is pressed first corresponds to the correct hitting order, it is determined that the correct hitting order is set, and the number of medals to be paid out is maximized. The priority is obtained so that the priority of the stop position candidate is the highest. In addition, when any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the combination of symbols constituting the most winning form can be displayed when each reel is stopped. The priority is determined so that the priority of the possible stop position candidates is the highest.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the batting order bells is won, if stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, candidates for stop positions that can win 8 small roles (small role 6) can be won. When the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the game is the highest and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, a stop that can win one small combination (small combination 1 to 5) The logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

  If the game state is BB established, the winning of the small role is given priority over the bonus. Therefore, if the batting order bell is won and the stop operation is performed according to the correct hitting order, the 8 small roles will win. Even when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answering order, the priority is set so that the big bonus (BB) winning is avoided when the symbols constituting the winning form of the single small role are displayed on the active line. Desired. However, when winning a watermelon or cherry, it is not possible to display the symbols that make up the winning form of the three small roles corresponding to watermelon or the two small roles corresponding to cherry on the active line. Since there is a pressing detection position where the symbols constituting the winning pattern of BB) can be displayed on the active line, if a watermelon or cherry is won in the BB established state, the small role will not be won and A bonus (BB) may be awarded.

  In addition, when the hitting bell is won in the BB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the small role to be prioritized is changed according to the pressing order. For example, when the hitting bell is won in the BB established state The priority is determined so that the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressing order is the stop position, and the winning of one small winning combination is more than the winning of eight small winning combinations. You may make it determine a stop position giving priority to winning. In this way, if one small combination is preferentially won over eight small combinations in the BB established state, the expected medal acquisition value in the BB established state can be kept lower. The player can be motivated to win the bonus (BB) as soon as possible.

  In the present embodiment, when a common bell or JAC is won, a logic operation is performed so as to obtain a priority according to the number of medals paid out. Even if the operation is performed, the logic calculation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidate that can win 14 small combinations (small combination 10) is the highest, and when JAC is won, any press Even if stop operations are performed in order, the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidates that can win 15 small combinations (small combination 11) is the highest.

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

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

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

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

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 8, the correct answer batting order (an example of a specific operation order) for each batting order bell. ) Is set, and a pressing order different from the correct answer order is treated as an incorrect answer order.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the 8 small winning combinations wins a prize. Thus, when the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, one of the small combinations wins, and none of the small combinations wins. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line.

  Even if the batting order bell is won in the BB formation state, the winning of the small role is prioritized over the bonus, so that 8 small roles win in the correct answer order and 1 small role in the incorrect answer order. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line without winning any winning combination. In the present embodiment, when the first stop operation is performed at the time of winning the batting order bell in the BB formation state, the symbols constituting the winning form of any small role are always displayed on the active line. Since the big bonus (BB) winning is avoided in this case, the big bonus (BB) is won even if neither of the eight small bonuses or one small bonus included in the batting order bell is won. Never do.

  In the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when a common bell or JAC is won, when a common bell is won, a 14-piece small combination wins regardless of the pressing operation in any order. The stop position for the press detection position is set so that when the JAC is elected, the 15 small combinations will win regardless of the press order. Has been.

  In this embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 12 is won, the correct batting order is set for each batting order replay as shown in FIG. A pressing order different from the correct answer order is treated as an incorrect answer order.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won and the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 2 wins. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when any one of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 wins. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

  In the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when any of the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 is won, the press detection position so that the replay 1 wins regardless of the press order in any case. The stop position for is set.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, with reference to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a winning combination of a predetermined combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the big bonus (BB), replay 1 to replay 6, and small roles 1 to 11 A winning determination table is prepared so that it can be determined whether or not there is a winning and whether or not an RT fluctuation blank is displayed.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the winning combination is won based on the determination result of the winning determination unit 140, the winning process is executed. As a winning process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus is awarded. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to transition the gaming state. Further, when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the active line in a state where all reels are stopped, the RT control unit 173 performs control for changing the RT state according to the displayed symbol combination. .

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are assigned to the hopper unit 320 ( The payout device is controlled to pay out.

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

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals.

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

  As shown in FIG. 12A, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the BB establishment state, and the BB state. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the BB establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the BB establishment state. In the normal state, any one of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4 in which the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery object among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the RT state.

  The BB establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the BB establishment state, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is determined with the same probability as the normal state, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target, An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  In the BB formation state, the winning combination of the small bonus and the replay is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the big bonus (BB) is won. When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the BB established state to the BB state based on the big bonus (BB) winning.

  The BB state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the BB state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the winning probability of the small role is set higher than the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and replay is excluded from the lottery targets. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 6 is performed. In other words, the BB state is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state in that the small role is won more frequently than the normal state.

  Further, in the BB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game in the BB state, and medals exceeding a predetermined scheduled end payout number (for example, 300). When is paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the BB state and returns the gaming state to the normal state.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, the RT control means 173 includes a non-RT state (non-replay time state), an RT1 state (first replay time state), an RT2 state (second replay time state), and an RT3 state ( RT transition control processing for transitioning the RT state between the (third replay time state) is performed. In the present embodiment, the replay lottery mode varies depending on the RT state. Specifically, at least one of the replay winning probability, the type of replay to be a lottery, and the combination of replays to be won in duplicate is different. Yes. As the transition condition for the RT state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are defined, the RT state is determined based on whether one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. Transition to another RT state is possible.

  The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line in the non-RT state, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the replay winning mode, and the replay winning probability is about 1/7. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 1 set to .3 is performed. In this embodiment, when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the BB state, it is set to the non-RT state, and when the gaming state is the normal state, one in the RT state other than the non-RT state When the small role wins, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state.

  The RT1 state is an RT state that is shifted when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line, and the transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the non-RT state is possible. . Specifically, in the RT1 state, when the symbol combination showing the winning form of the replay 2 is displayed on the active line (when the replay 2 wins), the state shifts to the RT2 state, and in the RT1 state, one small role is played. When the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern is displayed on the active line (when one small combination wins), the state shifts to the non-RT state. Also, in the RT1 state, of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the hitting order replay 1 to the hitting order replay 6 is set as the winning mode of replay, and the winning probability of replay is about 1/7. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 2 set to 3 is performed.

  The RT2 state is an RT state that is shifted when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 2 is displayed on the active line, and the transition from the RT2 state to the RT3 state, the non-RT state, and the RT1 state. Is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 3 is displayed on the active line (when the replay 3 wins), the state shifts to the RT3 state, and in the RT2 state, one small role is played. When the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern is displayed on the active line (when one small winning combination wins), the state shifts to the non-RT state, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank in the RT2 state is displayed on the effective line. If so, the process shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the hit order replay 7 to the hit order replay 12 are set as the replay winning mode, and the replay winning probability is about 1/2. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 3 set to 5 is performed.

  The RT3 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 3 is displayed on the active line, and the transition from the RT3 state to the non-RT state and the RT1 state is possible. ing. Specifically, in the RT3 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of one small winning combination is displayed on the active line (when the single small winning combination wins), the state shifts to the non-RT state, and in the RT3 state When the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the replay winning mode, and the replay winning probability is about 1/2. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 4 set to 0 is performed. In the internal lottery table 4 that is referred to when the user stays in the RT3 state in the normal state, the correspondence between the winning combination and the random number value is set so that the result of the internal lottery is not lost.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the privilege granting means 175 changes the production state among a plurality of types of production states including a non-AT state, a CZ state, an AT preparation state, an AT state, and an AT end standby state. The production state is set to the AT state (assist time state) under a predetermined condition, and the success or failure of the AT state end condition is determined based on the value of the AT end determination counter 196. Control to end the state. In the present embodiment, when staying in the AT ready state or the AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct hit order when winning the hitting bell, so that the eight small roles (small role 6: specific small role) In one example), a prize assisting effect assisting a prize is performed, and a privilege game in which a medal can be easily obtained as compared with a game staying in a non-AT state can be performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the privilege granting unit 175 can set a normal section, an internal standby section, and an advantageous section. In the normal section, the rendering state is fixed to the non-AT state, and the CZ lottery is performed. The winning state can be set to the CZ state or the AT state on condition that the advantageous zone is started and is an advantageous zone. The privilege granting means 175 performs the CZ lottery based on the fact that one of the common bell, watermelon, cherry, and big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery when the game state is the normal state in the game in the normal section. (Example of first specific lottery) is performed. In the CZ lottery, the random value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the CZ lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191 to determine whether or not the CZ lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the CZ lottery table, each of the random numbers for internal lottery corresponding to each winning mode (common bell, watermelon, cherry, big bonus (BB)) in the internal lottery that triggers the CZ lottery is won. Alternatively, if any of the losers is associated with and the random value acquired for the internal lottery is associated with winning in the CZ lottery table, it is determined that the CZ lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the CZ lottery is about 1/32, and it is determined whether or not to shift to the CZ state with a constant winning probability in the normal section. In the present embodiment, even if the game is in the normal section, the CZ lottery is not performed when the game state is the BB establishment state or the BB state.

  And if the privilege granting means 175 wins the CZ lottery in the normal section, the advantageous section is started based on the winning of the CZ lottery, the production state is shifted from the non-AT state to the CZ state, and the AT lottery is performed in the advantageous section. A bonus acquisition game is performed. If the CZ lottery based on the big bonus (BB) win is won, the winning information of the CZ lottery is held until the end of the BB state, and the BB state ends and the gaming state returns to the normal state. The effect state game is performed by setting the production state to the CZ state.

  And in this embodiment, when the privilege granting means 175 is in the non-AT state, the CZ state, or the AT end standby state in the advantageous section, the common bell, watermelon, cherry, big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery An AT lottery (an example of a second specific lottery) is performed based on the fact that one of the above has won. In the AT lottery, the random number obtained for the internal lottery is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191 to determine whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, each lottery value corresponding to each winning mode (common bell, watermelon, cherry, big bonus (BB)) in the internal lottery that triggers the AT lottery is won. Alternatively, if any of the loses is associated with and the random value acquired for the internal lottery is associated with winning in the AT lottery table, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the AT lottery lottery state is a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/256 (initial probability), a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/64, and an extremely high winning probability of about 1/8. The probability state can be set, and the AT lottery table corresponding to the lottery state is referred to in the AT lottery. That is, when the lottery state is a very high probability state, the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is a high probability state is referred to, and the lottery state is a high probability state The AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than that in the case where the lottery state is in the low probability state is referred to. Note that the winning probability of the AT lottery may be different depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery. In this case, the winning probability of the AT lottery is the same in the low probability state, the high probability state, and the very high probability state, or the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher in the low probability state than in the high probability state or the ultrahigh probability state. There may be a winning aspect in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher in the winning mode and the high probability state than in the super high probability state, and the total number of random numbers assigned to the winning of the AT lottery is “super high” If the relationship is “probability state> high probability state> low probability state”, the winning probability of the AT lottery for each winning mode can be arbitrarily determined.

  The privilege granting means 175 sets the lottery state of the AT lottery to a very high probability state when the effect state is the CZ state in the advantageous section, and AT when the effect state is the AT end standby state in the advantageous section. If the lottery state of the lottery is set to a high probability state and the production state is the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the RT state, and the RT state is the non-RT state or the RT1 state In either case, the AT lottery state is set to a low probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the AT lottery state is set to a high probability state. That is, in this embodiment, in the privilege acquisition game in the CZ state (an example of the first privilege acquisition game), it is more advantageous than the privilege acquisition game in the non-AT state and the AT end standby state (an example of the second privilege acquisition game). AT lottery is performed under certain conditions.

  In addition, the privilege granting unit 175 sets a predetermined value (for example, 8) corresponding to the number of games (for example, 8 times) as the end condition of the CZ state in the CZ end determination counter 195 based on winning of the CZ lottery. Each time a bonus acquisition game is performed in the CZ state, for example, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a certain value (for example, 1) from the value of the CZ end determination counter 195, triggered by a game start operation on the start lever SL. When the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition for the CZ state is satisfied and the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. On the other hand, even if the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied. In this case, the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 is set to “0”. In addition, after completion of the CZ state, the state shifts to the AT preparation state.

  In the present embodiment, the CZ end determination counter 195 is decrementally updated in the CZ state, but may be incremented. For example, based on winning the CZ lottery, the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 is initialized to the initial value “0”, and in the CZ state, the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 is set to the value every time one game is performed. Incremental update that adds a constant value “1” corresponding to one game, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 reaches a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the number of 8: 8 games) The CZ state may be terminated based on the above.

  Then, when the AT lottery is won, the privilege granting means 175 shifts the effect state from the non-AT state, the CZ state, or the AT end standby state to the AT ready state. A winning assistance effect is executed so as to lead the state to the RT3 state.

  For example, when staying in the RT1 state, which is an RT state that is highly likely to be staying in the non-AT state at the time of winning the AT lottery, the replay 2 is awarded at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 In order to be able to perform, a winning assistance effect for informing the correct batting order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT2 state, and in the RT2 state, the replay 3 can be won when the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are won. Then, the winning assistance effect for informing the correct hitting order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT3 state.

  In this embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 performs a winning assistance effect informing the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, but when the AT preparation state is staying in the non-RT state, the RT state In order to change the state to the RT1 state, the stop operation needs to be performed in an incorrect answering order in order to display the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank on the active line. For this reason, if the AT lottery is won while the player is staying in the non-RT state, the winning assistance effect is not executed when the batting order bell is won while staying in the non-RT state even in the AT preparation state. It is like that.

  In the present embodiment, when the AT lottery based on the big bonus (BB) is won, the winning information of the AT lottery is held until the BB state ends, and the production state is changed to AT with the end of the BB state. Set to ready state.

  And the privilege provision means 175 transfers an effect state from AT preparation state to AT state based on having changed RT state to RT3 state, when set to AT preparation state. The transition from the AT ready state to the AT state may be performed based on the transition from the RT state to the RT2 state when the AT ready state is set, or the AT ready state is set. In the RT2 state, based on the fact that any one of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won, the game may be shifted to the AT state at the end of the game.

  In the AT state, if the RT state falls to a non-RT state or an RT1 state due to a player's operation error, a prize winning effect is performed so that the RT state is returned to the RT3 state as long as the AT state is maintained. Is called. However, when the RT state falls to the non-RT state in the AT state, the symbol of the batting order bell is won until the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line in order to guide the RT state to the RT1 state. No winning assistance will be performed.

  Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets a value “50” corresponding to 50 games, which is the number of games to be the end condition of the AT state, in the AT end determination counter 196 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, and the AT state Then, every time a special game is performed, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a constant value “1” corresponding to one special game is subtracted from the value of the AT end determination counter 196. Update the decrement. Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 196 is continued even in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to a player's operation error.

  Then, when the value of the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the initial value “0”, the privilege granting unit 175 determines that the AT state end condition is satisfied, sets the effect state to the AT end standby state, and waits for AT end standby. When the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, in the AT end standby state after the end of the AT state, the winning assist effect at the time of winning the batting order bell by the effect control means 180 is not performed, so the symbol combination indicating a single small role winning or RT variation blank The RT state easily falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state. It should be noted that the presentation state after the end of the AT state may return to the non-AT state without providing the AT end standby state. The return condition from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state is, for example, that the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer hit order when the hitting bell is selected, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line. Or it may be that one small role wins.

  In addition, in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 ends the AT according to the winning mode of the combination in the internal lottery when the winning mode of the small role obtained in the internal lottery is watermelon, cherry or common bell. An extra lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add a given added value to the value of the determination counter 196.

  In the extra lottery, the random number acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191 to determine whether or not the extra lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the extra lottery table, each of the random values associated with the winning mode that triggers the extra lottery is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number obtained in the extra lottery is added to the extra lottery table If it is associated with winning, it is determined that the winning lottery has been won. In this embodiment, an additional lottery table corresponding to the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is “watermelon <cherry <common bell”. ”In order. In addition, the added value when winning the extra lottery is selected in the order of “cherry <common bell <watermelon”. In addition, the relationship between the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the extra lottery, and the relationship between the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery and the added value when winning the extra lottery are not limited to those described above, but are arbitrary. Can be determined.

  Further, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 interrupts the AT state by canceling the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 196 based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), The AT state is resumed as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state after the end of the BB state. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the situation where the game is performed in the AT state in the advantageous section, the return to the AT state is confirmed after the end of the BB state. Is to be maintained.

  Further, the privilege granting means 175 performs an initialization process for initializing control information related to the effect state based on the end of the advantageous section. In particular, in the present embodiment, the presentation state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process, and the values of the CZ end determination counter 195 and the AT end determination counter 196 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0), and the normal period To come back.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, an internal middle standby section can be set, and the privilege granting means 175 is advantageous based on winning the CZ lottery in the normal section. The section starts, but if the CZ lottery based on the Big Bonus (BB) win is won, but the Big Bonus (BB) is not won and the Big Bonus (BB) win is carried over An advantageous section is started via the waiting section. In the present embodiment, the CZ state, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end standby state can be set only when it is an advantageous section.

  In this embodiment, the value of the clear counter 197 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, and the clear counter 197 is played every time one game is performed in the advantageous section. Incremental update is performed by adding a certain value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game to the value of the game, and the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds a threshold value (for example, 1500) (the value of the clear counter is “ 1501 "), the end condition of the advantageous section is established. In this embodiment, the clear counter 197 is updated after all the spinning reels in each game are stopped. However, if it is determined in advance in each game, the clear counter 197 is updated at any timing. For example, a game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update opportunity. In the advantageous section, the clear counter 197 is updated even if a transition to each effect state such as the CZ state, the AT preparation state, or the AT state occurs unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied.

  In this embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value, the initialization process is executed with the end of the advantageous section, and the normal section is restored. For this reason, when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where the user stays in the AT state, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, and the rendering state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). Further, even when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value in a situation where the user is in the AT ready state, the AT ready state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where the AT end standby state is maintained, the non-AT Even if the condition for returning to the state is not satisfied, the AT end standby state is forcibly ended by the initialization process, and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. In addition, when the advantageous section continues after the AT state ends and the transition to the CZ state is possible while maintaining the advantageous section, the clear counter 197 When the value exceeds the threshold value, the CZ state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, the production state is initialized to the non-AT state, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 is set to an initial value (for example, 0). It is initialized.

  In the initialization process, the clear counter 197 is initialized as well as the above-described effect state, the CZ end determination counter 195, and the AT end determination counter 196. Specifically, the value of the clear counter 197 is initialized. Initialized to a value (eg, 0). Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied even when the effect state returns to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state, and the initialization process is executed when the advantageous section ends. Further, in the present embodiment, even when the performance state returns from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state, it is determined that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the initialization process is executed when the advantageous section ends. .

  Also, the privilege granting means 175 wins the CZ lottery based on the big bonus (BB) win in the normal section, and even when the big bonus (BB) wins, the value of the clear counter 197 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1). Set to to generate an advantageous section. However, in this embodiment, since the big bonus (BB) cannot be won unless the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing, the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the big bonus (BB) is won. If the big bonus (BB) is not won even if the CZ lottery based on the above is won, it shifts to the internal middle standby zone, and the advantageous zone starts with the big bonus (BB) winning. . On the other hand, even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, if the CZ lottery is not won, the advantageous section does not occur and even if the gaming state is the BB established state or the BB state. Normal section is maintained.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even if it is an internal middle standby section, execution of CZ lottery and AT lottery is prohibited, and even if a winning mode that triggers execution of CZ lottery or AT lottery is obtained by internal lottery. Each lottery is not executed. However, the CZ lottery and the AT lottery may be executed also in the internal standby section, but in that case, it is preferable to invalidate the results of the CZ lottery and the AT lottery.

  In this embodiment, the initialization process is performed even when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value even when the BB is established, but in this case, the normal section after the advantageous section ends. If the Big Bonus (BB) that has already been won in the game cannot be won, the Big Bonus (BB) win is not accompanied by a transition to the advantageous section, so the normal section is maintained and the inside It does not shift to the waiting section.

  Further, in this embodiment, the initialization process is performed even when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value and stays in the BB state, but the CZ lottery is not performed in the BB state. Therefore, when the initialization process is performed in the BB state, the effect state after the end of the BB state is always the non-AT state, and when the effect state returns to the non-AT state when the BB state ends. Initialization processing is performed. In the case where the CZ lottery is performed when the gaming state is the BB state in the normal section, when the initialization process is performed in the middle of the BB state, the game in the BB state after the initialization process is performed. You may make it perform CZ lottery.

  Also, in this embodiment, the advantageous zone is started by winning the CZ lottery in the normal zone, and AT lottery can be performed in the advantageous zone to play games in the AT state, but the AT state ends. Even when the production state is the AT end standby state, the advantageous section is maintained. In the present embodiment, since the AT lottery state is set to a high probability state in the AT end standby state, the opportunity to continue to move to the AT state again after continuing the AT state can be obtained. It is like that.

  Further, the privilege granting means 175 notifies that the advantageous section is staying in the advantageous section by turning on the LED built in the section indicator SEC when the advantageous section is started, and based on the end of the advantageous section. Control is performed to turn off the LED built in the section indicator SEC. In the present embodiment, the LED built in the section display unit SEC is turned off in the normal section and the internal middle standby section. Therefore, it is possible to make an advantageous section by checking the lighting state of the section display unit SEC. You can judge whether you are staying or not.

  And in this embodiment, the privilege provision means 175 starts or complete | finishes the advantageous area alerting | reporting which is alert | reporting staying in an advantageous area based on the value of the clear counter 197. For example, when a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 197 as a result of shifting to the advantageous section, the advantageous section is based on the fact that the value of the clear counter 197 is greater than the initial value “0”. When the notification is started and the value of the clear counter 197 is initialized to the initial value “0” in accordance with the end of the advantageous section and the transition to the normal section, the value of the clear counter 197 is set to the initial value “0”. The advantageous section notification is terminated based on the fact.

  In this embodiment, regarding the advantageous section notification, when the advantageous section is started, the LED built in the section indicator SEC is turned on and it is immediately notified that the user is staying in the advantageous section. However, it may be a non-informing section that does not notify that it is an advantageous section until the predetermined number of games (for example, 32 times) is exhausted from the start of the advantageous section. The section indicator SEC does not need to be provided exclusively as in the present embodiment. In the game information display unit DS, a credit indicator for displaying the number of medal credits, a payout indicator for displaying the number of medal payouts, and the like. You may make it also use. For example, when a credit indicator or payout indicator is composed of a 7-segment indicator, it indicates whether or not the user is staying in an advantageous section by switching on / off the dot display section that displays the decimal point, etc. The dot display unit may be turned off in the section, and the dot display unit may be turned on in the advantageous section so that the advantageous section is notified.

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 198. Control related to the sound production to be performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in a gaming state, or a display on a liquid crystal display LCD By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, execution control of the production for boosting the game or assisting the game is performed according to the progress of the game. The contents of the effect executed in the game are determined by referring to the effect lottery table stored in the sub lottery table storage unit 199 according to the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like.

  Then, when the production states are the AT preparation state and the AT state, the production control unit 180 notifies the winning order of the winning combination of the eight small roles by notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, and the display device 330 and the sound. Control to be executed by the device 340 is performed. However, even if the production state is the AT ready state, if the RT state is a non-RT state, or if the player hits the batting order bell in the AT state, one small role wins and the RT state is non-RT In the case of falling to the state, even if the batting order bell is won until the symbol combination showing the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line so as to guide the gaming state to the RT1 state, the winning assist effect is not performed. Yes.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 informs the correct batting order at the time of winning order of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 when the RT state stays in the RT1 state. In the situation where the display device 330 or the sound device 340 executes the winning assist effect that assists the winning of the player and the RT state stays in the RT2 state, the correct hitting order is notified in the winning order of the hitting order replay 7 to the hitting order replay 12. Control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a winning assist effect for assisting the winning of the replay 3 is performed.

  In addition, even if the production state is the AT state, the production control means 180 displays the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank on the effective line due to a player's operation mistake at the time of winning the batting order bell, and the RT state falls to the RT1 state. If the player is in the AT state, the display device 330 displays a winning assistance effect that informs the correct batting order and assists the winning of the replay 2 at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6. And control to be executed by the audio device 340. In the AT state, if the RT state falls into the non-RT state or the RT1 state and stays in the RT2 state in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state, At the time of winning order of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12, a control for causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a winning assist effect for notifying the correct batting order and assisting the winning of the replay 3 is performed.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Method of the present embodiment In this embodiment, the normal section and the advantageous section can be set, and the notification is given so that the normal section and the advantageous section can be grasped by the lighting state of the section indicator SEC, and the CZ lottery is performed in the normal section. The advantage zone is started by winning the CZ lottery and is set to the CZ state, and a privilege acquisition game in which the AT lottery can be executed in the advantage zone is performed. In the privilege acquisition game in the CZ state, A method of performing an AT lottery under conditions that are more advantageous than the bonus acquisition game is adopted.

  Specifically, in the normal section, the production state is always set to the non-AT state, and the CZ lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, but the winning probability of the CZ lottery in the normal section is about 1 / 32 is set to be constant. In the present embodiment, when the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, the advantageous section starts, and in the advantageous section, the effect state is set to the CZ state and the privilege acquisition game that enables the AT lottery can be performed. become.

  In this embodiment, the value of the clear counter 197 is updated every time a game is played in the advantageous section. If the value of the clear counter 197 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous section continues and the CZ state Even if the performance ends and the performance state falls to the non-AT state, a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section occurs. In other words, in this embodiment, there are cases where the user stays in the normal section in the non-AT state and the case where the user stays in the advantageous section. It is possible to receive a bonus acquisition game. Thus, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is not performed even in the non-AT state in the normal section, but the AT lottery is performed not only in the CZ state but also in the non-AT state in the advantageous section.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the advantageous section and the production state is set to the AT state, it is possible to perform a special game in which a prize assist production is performed to assist the winning of eight small roles. Even if the production state becomes the AT end standby state due to the end of the state, the advantageous section can be continued until the AT end standby state ends, and even in this AT end standby state, a privilege acquisition game for receiving an AT lottery is performed. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery state of the AT lottery in the advantageous section is a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/8, a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/64, and a very high winning probability of about 1/8. It is possible to change between the probability states, and when the production state is the CZ state, it is set to an extremely high probability state, and when the production state is a non-AT state, the low probability state or the high probability state depending on the RT state When the production state is the AT end standby state, the high probability state is set. That is, in the present embodiment, the right to shift to the AT state is most easily acquired when the CZ lottery is won in the normal section and the CZ state is set with the start of the advantageous section.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the advantage section starts based on the fact that the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, and the AT lottery can be executed in the CZ state, the non-AT state, and the AT end standby state in the advantageous section. When an acquisition game is performed and an AT lottery is won in the bonus acquisition game, it is possible to perform the bonus game by setting the production state to the AT state in the advantageous section.

  In this embodiment, when the advantageous section ends when the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is set to the threshold value when the effect state is the AT state. Even if not reached, the AT state is forcibly terminated, and then the initialization process is performed to initialize the effect state to the non-AT state and return to the normal section. In other words, in the present embodiment, performing the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section plays a role of preventing the player from acquiring a large number of medals so that the situation advantageous to the player does not continue for a long period of time.

  The threshold value of the clear counter 197 can be set so that the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section (the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid-out medals) does not exceed a predetermined number. In this embodiment, the advantageous section Is set so that the number of medals won cannot exceed 3000. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 197 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated by 3000 pieces / tilt value. Here, the slope value is an expected value of the net increase in the number of medals per game due to the bonus game in the AT state and the bonus game in the BB state. In this embodiment, the slope value is two.

  For this reason, the maximum number of games in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1500 (= 3000/2 pieces), and after the shift to the advantageous section, “1” is set in the clear counter 197 for the 1500 times The threshold is set so that the advantageous section ends when the number of games is counted. Thus, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit number and the inclination value of the number of acquired medals, and can be arbitrarily set depending on the design.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the player can grasp whether he / she is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section depending on whether or not the advantageous section notification is performed by the section indicator SEC, the advantageous section Can prevent the replacement of players in the game and ensure the fairness of the game, but if the player clearly understands that it is a normal section, there is a concern that the operation of the gaming machine will decrease Is done. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, there are a case where a privilege acquisition game is performed in the CZ state, a case where a privilege acquisition game is performed in the non-AT state, and a case where a privilege acquisition game is performed in the AT end standby state, The advantageous zone is started by winning the CZ lottery and the production state is set to the CZ state, and in the privilege acquisition game in the CZ state, the AT is operated under conditions that are more advantageous than the privilege acquisition game in the non-AT state or the AT end standby state. A lottery is held. For this reason, receiving a CZ lottery in a game in a normal section is a great opportunity for acquiring a special game. In particular, in the present embodiment, when playing a game in a non-AT state, when the section indicator SEC is turned off, there is an opportunity to make a transition to the CZ state where the lottery state of the AT lottery becomes a very high probability state. It is informed that there is, and the player can be motivated to play the game in the normal section.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, staying in either the normal section or the advantageous section while suppressing the shooting performance by performing the initialization process based on the end of the advantageous section where the privilege acquisition game or the privilege game can be performed. Even if the player is made aware of whether or not the game is in progress, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the game in the normal section and prevent the operation of the gaming machine from being lowered.

  Further, in this embodiment, once the transition to the advantageous section is made, if the transition to the AT state cannot be made, the clear counter 197 stays in the advantageous section unless the threshold is exceeded. If the game is prolonged, the player's willingness to play may be reduced, but this is the case when the big bonus (BB) is won and the AT lottery at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is not won. However, based on the return to the non-AT state after the end of the BB state, the advantageous section is ended and the initialization process is performed. In this case, since the game in the normal section is started by the initialization process and the opportunity to shift to the CZ state can be obtained, the situation where the situation in which the transition to the AT state cannot be performed in the advantageous section is prolonged is overcome. Be able to. In other words, according to the present embodiment, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, an opportunity to enter the CZ state is granted in which the AT lottery can be received under advantageous conditions without winning the AT lottery. As a result, the player's willingness to play can be prevented from decreasing, and the operation of the gaming machine can be made difficult to decrease.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the RT state when the non-AT state is in the advantageous section. However, the lottery state may be changed by performing the lottery state transition lottery. . For example, when a cherry, watermelon, or common bell is won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select a low probability state or a high probability state. Further, the lottery state may be shifted according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. Specifically, a high probability state may be set when a cherry, a watermelon, or a common bell is won, and a low probability state may be set when a loss occurs. Further, when a stop operation is performed in the correct answer order when the hitting order bell is won, the high probability state may be set, and when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order, the low probability state may be set.

  In addition, the first lottery state that is easy to win when winning a cherry, the second lottery state that is easy to win when winning a watermelon, the third lottery state that is easy to win when winning a common bell, etc. It moves to the 1st lottery state at the time of cherry winning, shifts to the 2nd lottery state at the time of winning the watermelon, shifts to the 3rd lottery state at the time of winning the common bell, and it seems that it is easy to win the AT lottery if the same lottery opportunity continues It is good also as a simple structure. However, as the AT lottery in the CZ state is more advantageous, the total number of random numbers assigned to the AT lottery in any of the first lottery state, the second lottery state, and the third lottery state is the AT lottery in the CZ state. It is preferable to be kept lower than the ultra-high probability state which is the lottery state.

  In the present embodiment, the initialization process is executed by setting the return from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state after the end of the AT state as one of the end conditions of the advantageous section. The initialization process may be executed with the fact that the transition to the predetermined RT state without winning the lottery is made the end condition of the advantageous section.

  For example, when the transition to the non-RT state after the end of the AT state is used as the end condition of the advantageous section, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line in the AT end standby state, the non-AT state However, if the clear counter 197 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous period continues, and it is advantageous when the player shifts to the non-RT state by winning a single piece without winning the AT lottery in the non-AT state. The section ends and initialization processing is executed. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section when the AT state is terminated and the non-AT state and the RT1 state are maintained.

  Also, for example, if the transition to the RT1 state is used as the condition for ending the advantageous section, the transition to the non-AT state is made when a single winning combination wins in the AT end standby state, but the value of the clear counter 197 exceeds the threshold value. If it is not, the advantageous section continues, and when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line without winning the AT lottery in the non-AT state, the advantageous section ends when the transition to the RT1 state is made. The initialization process is executed. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section when the AT state is not in the non-AT state and the non-RT state after the end of the AT state.

  Further, as an end condition of the advantageous section, the end condition of the AT state may be set as an end condition. In this case, it is not necessary to provide an AT end standby state. Also, the advantage section end condition is that a predetermined number of games have been played after the end of the AT state, and the advantage section end condition is that the number of times of transition to the AT state in the advantage section has reached a predetermined number of times. May be.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the AT control means 175 wins the batting order bell or batting order replay in the AT ready state or AT state, the batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won) or batting order replay (when the batting order replay is won) Control may be performed so that game information indicating the correct hit order according to the type of game, game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or game information indicating the winning combination is displayed on the game information display unit DS. In this case, the game information can be displayed during the reel rotation on the credit display for displaying the number of medal credits or the payout display for displaying the number of medal payouts in the game information display section DS. When the credit display or the payout display is also used as an instruction display for displaying operation instruction information related to the stop operation, the section display SEC may also be used. For example, when a credit indicator or a payout indicator is composed of a 7-segment display, operation instruction information is indicated by a 7-segment display mode for displaying numbers, etc. You may make it show whether it is staying in an advantageous area by light extinction.

  In the present embodiment, the CZ lottery, the AT lottery, and the extra lottery are determined by using a random value for internal lottery. However, when a predetermined lottery result is obtained in the internal lottery, the CZ lottery Alternatively, it is also possible to acquire a dedicated random number value for the AT lottery and the extra lottery, and determine whether or not to win by referring to a lottery table in which either the winning or losing is associated with the acquired random value.

  In this embodiment, the AT end determination counter 196 is decrementally updated in the AT state. However, it may be incremented. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is initialized to the initial value “0”. In the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is set every time one game is performed. Incremental update by adding a constant value “1” corresponding to one game, and the value of the AT end determination counter 196 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the number of games of 50:50) The AT state may be terminated based on the above. Also, in this example, when an extra lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), an update is performed to subtract a given value from the value of the AT end determination counter 196 (the AT end determination counter 196 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 196 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted before reaching the threshold value is increased), or a given value is added to the threshold value to end the AT state. Reset (update) the threshold value as a condition (the threshold value of the AT end determination counter 196 is increased so that the number of counts until the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value from the current value increases) Update).

  Further, in this embodiment, the AT end determination counter 196 counts the number of games in the AT state, but the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is updated according to the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals. The end of the AT state may be managed by a so-called difference number obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted from the number of payouts. For example, based on having won the AT lottery, a value “100” corresponding to 100 medals, which is the difference number as an AT condition end condition, is set in the AT end determination counter 196, and once in the AT state, When the game is performed, an increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to the number of inserted medals (specified number of insertions) to the value of the AT end determination counter 196, and when the small role is won and the medals are paid out. A decrement update is performed to subtract a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out from the value of the AT end determination counter 196, and the value of the AT end determination counter 196 has reached a threshold value (for example, 0) (below the threshold value) The AT state may be terminated based on the fact that Further, in this example, when an extra lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), a given addition value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 196 (the AT end determination counter 196 is set to a threshold value from the current value). Alternatively, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 may be updated so that the number of counts until the value reaches is increased).

  Also, for example, based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, the value of the AT end determination counter 196 is initialized to the initial value “0”. In the AT state, the number of medals inserted every time a game is played (specified insertion) The value corresponding to the number of medals is subtracted from the value of the AT end determination counter 196, and the decrement update is performed. Incremental update to be added to the value of, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 196 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the difference number of 100: 100 sheets) The AT state may be terminated based on (). Also, in this example, when an extra lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), an update is performed to subtract a given value from the value of the AT end determination counter 196 (the AT end determination counter 196 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 196 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted before reaching the threshold value is increased), or a given value is added to the threshold value to end the AT state. Reset (update) the threshold value as a condition (the threshold value of the AT end determination counter 196 is increased so that the number of counts until the AT end determination counter 196 reaches the threshold value from the current value increases) Update).

  In the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set to the clear counter 197 as the transition to the advantageous section, and in the advantageous section, the update starts from the state where the value of the clear counter 197 is “1”. However, the update is started from the state where the value of the clear counter 197 is the initial value “0”, and the advantageous section is ended based on the value of the clear counter 197 reaching the threshold value “1500”. You may make it make it.

  In this embodiment, the clear counter 197 is incrementally updated in the advantageous section. However, the decrement may be updated. For example, on the basis of winning the AT lottery, a value “1500” corresponding to 1500 times that is the number of games to be the end condition of the advantageous section is set in the clear counter 197, and one game is performed in the advantageous section. Each time the value is cleared, the decrement is updated by subtracting a constant value “1” corresponding to one game from the value of the clear counter 197, and the stored value of the clear counter 197 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0). Thus, the advantageous section may be terminated.

  In this embodiment, the clear counter 197 is updated every time a game is played, and the value of the clear counter 197 corresponds to the number of games in the advantageous section. It may be updated according to the number of medals inserted and the number of medals. In this way, it is possible to manage whether or not to end the advantageous section with a so-called difference number (acquired number) obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted from the number of medals paid out.

  For example, based on having won the CZ lottery, a value “3000” corresponding to 3000 medals, which is the difference number as an end condition of the advantageous section, is set in the clear counter 197, and one game is played in the advantageous section. Each time a medals is performed, an increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to the number of medals inserted (specified number of insertions) to the value of the clear counter 197, and the number of medals paid out when the small role is won and the medals are paid out. The decrement is updated by subtracting the value corresponding to 1 from the value of the clear counter 197, and it is advantageous based on the value of the clear counter 197 reaching a threshold value (for example, 0) (being less than the threshold value). The section may be terminated.

  Also, for example, a predetermined value (for example, 3) is set in the clear counter 197 based on the winning of the CZ lottery, and in the advantageous section, the number of medals inserted (one specified number of insertions) every time a game is played. Is incremented by adding a value corresponding to the number of paid-out medals to the value of the clear counter 197 when a small role is won and medals are paid out. The advantageous section is terminated based on the fact that the value of the clear counter 197 reaches a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the difference number of 3000: 3000 sheets) (or exceeds the threshold value). You may do it. In this example, a predetermined value is not set in the clear counter 197 when the CZ lottery is won, and the clear counter 197 is updated from the initial value “0” in the advantageous section to reach the threshold value “3000”. The advantageous section may be terminated based on what has been done (or has exceeded “3000”).

  In addition, when the AT end determination counter 196 and the clear counter 197 count the difference number of medals, when the replay wins, the number of medals paid out is treated as “0”, and the next game of the game won by the replay ( In replay, it is desirable not to update the counter by treating the number of medals inserted as “0”.

  In this embodiment, one type of bonus is used. However, if a plurality of bonuses are provided and some bonuses are awarded, it can be an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section, but the remaining bonuses are advantageous sections even if a prize is won. It may not be an opportunity to shift to. For example, a normal big bonus (NBB) that does not trigger the lottery of the CZ lottery and a special big bonus (SBB) that triggers the lottery of the CZ lottery are provided, and even if the normal big bonus (NBB) is won in the normal section, the CZ lottery Therefore, even if the normal big bonus (NBB) wins, the NBB state, which is a gaming state that shifts by winning the normal big bonus (NBB), is set to the normal interval, When the special big bonus (SBB) is won in the normal section, the CZ lottery is performed, and when the special big bonus (SBB) is won by winning the CZ lottery, the game state is shifted to the special big bonus (SBB). The SBB state is set to an advantageous section, and if the special big bonus (SBB) is not won in the winning game, it is inside An advantageous section starts by winning a special big bonus (SBB) via the machine section, and if the CZ lottery performed at the time of winning the special big bonus (SBB) is not won, the special big bonus (SBB) ), The SBB state may be set to the normal section. If the normal big bonus (NBB) wins in the advantageous section, the advantageous section may be maintained even in the NBB state, but the normal big bonus (NBB) winning or winning in the advantageous section may be maintained. As described above, the NBB state can be set to the normal section when the advantageous section is terminated. In addition, when multiple types of bonuses are provided, some bonuses must be used as the advantageous section fixed bonuses that are always won in the CZ lottery. You may comprise so that an area may be started.

  In the CZ state, a winning assist effect may be performed when the batting order bell is won, and a winning assist effect related to the batting order replay may not be performed. That is, the CZ state may be positioned as a simple AT state. In this case, in the privilege acquisition game in which the batting order bell is won in the CZ state, game information corresponding to the type of batting order bell is displayed on the game information display unit DS, and the order of pressing indicated by the game information (or suggested) (correct answer) The striking order) may be reported by the effect control means 180 through a winning assistance effect.

  In addition, a continuous lottery that determines whether or not to continue the CZ state in the CZ state is performed. If the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, and if the result of the continuous lottery is lost, the CZ state is terminated. Thus, the effect state may be returned to the non-AT state. For example, a continuous lottery is performed based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 reaching a threshold value, and when the continuous lottery is won, a predetermined value (for example, 8) is reset in the CZ end determination counter 195. The CZ state may be continued, or in each game after the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value, the lottery is repeated until the AT lottery is won or the result of the continuous lottery is lost. A game may be performed, or a continuous lottery may be performed every game in the CZ state.

  Further, based on the fact that the CZ lottery has been won, a winning assistance effect is executed so as to guide the RT state to the RT2 state, and based on the fact that the RT state has shifted to the RT2 state, the effect state is shifted to the CZ state, and the RT2 state In the CZ state, in the CZ state, until the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value, a winning assist effect is performed at the time of winning the batting order bell, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 is the threshold value Based on the fact that the RT state fell to the non-RT state or the RT1 state so that no winning assistance effect was performed when the batting order bell was won (a specific symbol combination was displayed on the active line) The CZ state may be ended, or even if the value of the CZ end determination counter 195 has not reached the threshold value, the RT state becomes the non-RT state or the RT1 state. It may be to terminate the CZ state even when dropped. Note that an RT state for the CZ state may be separately prepared and a game in the CZ state may be performed in the RT state.

  In the present embodiment, the CZ lottery is performed in the normal section, but the CZ lottery is not performed in the advantageous section. However, the CZ lottery is performed in both the normal section and the advantageous section. AT lottery may be performed when the section is staying in the CZ state.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the privilege granting means 175 changes the effect state between the non-AT state, the CZ state, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end standby state, as shown in FIG. As shown, the normal section, the advantageous section, and the internal middle standby section can be set, but the CZ lottery (an example of the first specific lottery) is performed in both the normal section and the advantageous section, and the production state is the non-AT state or In the AT end standby state, when any of watermelon, cherry, common bell, and big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, a CZ lottery for winning with a probability of about 1/32 is performed.

  In this example, when the CZ lottery is won, the state shifts to the CZ state. As shown in FIG. 16, the AT lottery lottery state in the CZ state is an extremely high probability state where the winning probability is about 1/8, the winning probability. Is set to either the high probability state of about 1/64 or the low probability state of about 1/256 of the winning probability, and the AT lottery is performed. Specifically, if the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, the AT lottery lottery state in the CZ state is set to a very high probability state, and if the CZ lottery is won in the advantageous section, the CZ lottery is It is set to either a low-probability state or a high-probability state according to the performance state performed. In this example, when the CZ lottery is won in the advantageous zone and in the non-AT state, the AT lottery state in the CZ state is set to the low probability state, and in the advantageous zone and the AT end standby state. When the CZ lottery is won, the lottery state of the AT lottery in the CZ state is set to a high probability state.

  In the CZ state, as in the case of the above embodiment, the AT lottery table corresponding to the lottery state is referred to based on the fact that any of the common bell, watermelon, cherry, and big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. The bonus acquisition game in which the AT lottery (an example of the second specific lottery) is performed is performed. Then, when an AT lottery is won in the CZ state, a transition is made to the AT state via the AT preparation state, and in the AT state, a bonus game is performed in which a winning assist effect is performed to assist the winning of eight small roles when winning the batting order bell. Make it.

  Thus, in the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the CZ lottery is performed in both the normal section and the advantageous section, the advantageous section is started based on the fact that the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, and the CZ lottery is won. In such a case, when the advantageous state is set to the CZ state and the bonus acquisition game is performed and the AT lottery is won, the bonus state can be set to the AT state in the advantageous zone and the bonus game can be performed. ing. Also in the examples shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the value of the clear counter 197 is updated in the advantageous section, and when the value exceeds the threshold value “1500” (when the value of the clear counter 197 reaches “1501”). By ending the advantageous section and returning to the normal section by a predetermined initialization process, it is possible to prevent the advantageous section from being able to continuously acquire a large amount of game media for a long time. .

  Also in this example, the player can know whether he / she is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section depending on whether or not the advantageous section notification is performed by the section indicator SEC. There is a concern that the operation of the gaming machine will be reduced if the player is grasped. However, in the bonus acquisition game in the CZ state that is performed based on winning in the CZ lottery in the normal section, the AT lottery state is set to a very high probability state, and it is performed based on the winning in the CZ lottery in the advantageous section The AT lottery is performed under conditions that are more advantageous than the privilege acquisition game in the CZ state (low probability state or high probability state). For this reason, receiving a CZ lottery in a game in a normal section is a great chance for the transition to the AT state.

  Therefore, also in the example shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, while performing the initialization process based on the end of the advantageous section where the privilege acquisition game and the privilege game can be performed, the shooting performance is suppressed, and the normal section and the advantageous section Even if the player is made to know where he / she is staying, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the game in the normal section and to prevent the operation of the gaming machine from being lowered.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the CZ lottery winning probability is constant in both the normal section and the advantageous section, but the CZ lottery winning probability is constant in the normal section, and the advantageous section has a predetermined condition. Thus, the winning probability of the CZ lottery may be changed.

  For example, a CZ low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/32 and a CZ high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/8 can be set as the lottery states of the CZ lottery in the advantageous zone. Then, the CZ lottery table corresponding to the lottery state can be referred to, and the lottery state in the CZ state can be fixed in the CZ high probability state in the normal section. That is, when the lottery state is the CZ high probability state, the CZ lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is the CZ low probability state is referred to. In addition, you may make it the winning probability of CZ lottery differ according to the winning aspect in internal lottery. In this case, there is a winning mode in which the winning probability of the CZ lottery is the same in the CZ low probability state and the CZ high probability state, or the winning probability of the CZ lottery is higher in the CZ low probability state than in the CZ high probability state. If the total number of random numbers assigned to the CZ lottery win is in the relationship of “CZ high probability state> CZ low probability state”, the winning probability of the CZ lottery for each winning mode may be arbitrarily determined. it can.

  In the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set according to the RT state, and when the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to the CZ low probability state, When the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to the CZ high probability state. In this way, when the non-AT state is in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery varies between the CZ low probability state and the CZ high probability state, and stays in the RT3 state in the AT end standby state. Therefore, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to the CZ high probability state in principle. Thus, while the lottery state of the CZ lottery is fixed to the CZ high probability state in the normal section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is between the CZ low probability state and the CZ high probability state according to the RT state in the advantageous section. If it is made to fluctuate by, it can provide the area where the winning probability of CZ lottery was fixed, and the section where the winning probability of CZ lottery fluctuated, suppressing gaze. In order to shift to the AT state, it is not always necessary to go through the CZ state, but in the non-AT state or the AT end standby state, an AT lottery is performed to shift to the AT state without going through the CZ state. It may be.

  In the above example, when the lottery state of the CZ lottery in the advantageous section can be changed, the lottery state is set to two types of CZ low probability state and CZ high probability state. In the advantageous section, it may be possible to change between a plurality of types of lottery states that are not selected in the normal section. For example, in addition to the CZ high probability state, it is possible to provide a CZ super high probability state (for example, the winning probability is about 1/2) that is easier to win the CZ lottery than the CZ high probability state. The lottery state may be constant in the probability state, and the CZ high probability state and the CZ low probability state may be switched by lottery or the like in the advantageous section.

  In this way, since the CZ lottery is performed in the normal section under conditions that are more advantageous than the advantageous section, receiving the CZ lottery in the game in the normal section is a great chance for acquiring the bonus game. For this reason, even if the CZ lottery is performed on the condition that the normal section is more advantageous than the advantageous section, the initialization process is performed based on the end of the advantageous section, and the shooting performance is suppressed and the game in the normal section is performed. On the other hand, it is possible to attract the player's interest and prevent a decrease in the operation of the gaming machine.

  Also, in the normal section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is fixed to the CZ low probability state, while in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery varies between the CZ low probability state and the CZ high probability state, In the normal section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is fixed to the CZ low probability state, while in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery varies between the CZ high probability state and the CZ super high probability state. You may do it. In this case, it is difficult to shift to the CZ state from the normal section, but in the CZ state based on the CZ lottery winning in the normal section, it is easy to win the AT lottery, and from the advantageous section to the CZ state more easily than the normal section. However, in the CZ state based on the winning of the CZ lottery in the advantageous section, it is possible to provide gameability such that it is difficult to win the AT lottery, and it is possible to suitably adjust the medal acquisition performance.

  In the advantageous section, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to change the lottery state. For example, a CZ low probability state or a CZ high probability state may be selected by performing a CZ lottery state transition lottery when a cherry, watermelon, or common bell is won. Further, the lottery state of the CZ lottery may be shifted according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, the CZ high probability state may be set when a cherry, watermelon, or common bell is won, and the CZ low probability state may be set when lost. Further, when a stop operation is performed in the correct answer order in the winning order bell winning, the CZ high probability state may be set, and when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order, the CZ low probability state may be set. In addition, CZ high probability state A which is easy to win when winning cherry, CZ high probability state B which is easy to win when winning watermelon, CZ high probability state C which is easy to win when winning common bell, etc. Sometimes transitions to CZ high probability state A, transitions to CZ high probability state B when winning a watermelon, transitions to CZ high probability state C when winning a common bell, and CZ lottery is easy to win if the same lottery opportunity continues It is good also as such a structure.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, since the transition to the CZ state can be performed a plurality of times in the advantageous section, the number of transitions to the CZ state is monitored as one of the end conditions of the advantageous section. Then, on the condition that the transition to the CZ state has been made a predetermined number of times, the advantageous section may be ended based on the end of the CZ state that satisfies the condition, and the initialization process may be performed.

  Further, AT lottery may be performed in both the normal section and the advantageous section, and the AT lottery may be performed in the normal section under conditions that are more advantageous than the advantageous section. For example, in the normal section, the performance state is fixed to the non-AT state, the AT lottery state is set to the high probability state, and the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state. In the advantageous section, the AT lottery lottery is performed. It is possible to set the state to a low probability state and perform the AT lottery when the AT end standby state is set. In this way, receiving an AT lottery in a regular section game is a great opportunity for acquiring bonus games, so while performing initialization processing based on the end of the advantageous section, Even if the player is made to know whether he / she is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the game in the normal section and to prevent the operation of the gaming machine from being lowered. In the advantageous section, the AT lottery state may be changed between the low probability state and the high probability state, and even in the advantageous section, there is an AT lottery state that is not selected in the normal section. Good. Furthermore, although the AT lottery is performed in the normal section, the CZ lottery is not performed, and the AT lottery and the CZ lottery may be executable in the advantageous section.
