  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  The gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled by a game control means (control board) 100. The game control means 100 receives input signals from input means such as the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240, etc., and performs various calculations for executing the game, and based on the calculation results. The operation control of the output means such as the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, the game information display device 327, the display device 330, and the sound device 340 is performed. The functions of the game control means 100 are stored in advance in various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, ROM, etc. It is realized by software consisting of a given program.

  The game control means 100 includes an insertion acceptance means 105, a random number generation means 110, an internal lottery means 120, a reel control means 130, a winning determination means 140, a payout control means 150, a replay processing means 160, a game state transition control means 170, RT Control means 173, AT control means 175 (an example of special effect control means), initialization means 177 (an example of game section control means), display control means 179 (an example of notification control means), effect control means 180, storage means 190 including.

  The insertion accepting means 105 accepts the insertion of medals for each game, and performs a game start operation on the start lever SL (game start operation means) based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the prescribed number of insertions (three). Perform the process to enable. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first pressing operation of the start lever SL that is activated based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the specified insertion number is accepted as the game start operation, and the first reel R1 to the third reel. It is an opportunity to start the rotation of R3 and an opportunity to execute the internal lottery.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI (predetermined insertion slot), the insertion acceptance unit 105 limits the prescribed insertion number as the medal insertion switch 210 is activated. The inserted medals are set in the inserted state (bet state). Specifically, the insertion accepting unit 105 performs a bet process for setting the inserted medals in the inserted state up to a specified number of insertions in accordance with the operation of the medal insertion switch 210.

  The insertion accepting means 105, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI in a state where a prescribed number of medals are set in the insertion state, the medal insertion switch 210 is operated to select the inserted medal. The credit is allowed up to the upper limit number of credits, and the number of credited medals is stored as the credit number. More specifically, the insertion accepting unit 105 operates in response to the operation of the medal insertion switch 210, and the credit number stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) is limited to the upper limit number of credits. Credit addition processing for adding the number of medals inserted to the number of medals) is performed. If a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI in a state where the prescribed number of medals is set in the inserted state and the number of credits has reached the upper limit number of credits, the medal inserted switch 210 By not operating, medal insertion is not accepted (without credit) and returned from the medal payout slot MO.

  In addition, when the bet button B0 is pressed in a state where medals are credited to the gaming machine, the insertion accepting unit 105 limits the number of inserted coins to limit the number of credited medals when the bet switch 220 is activated. Set to the input state. Specifically, the insertion accepting unit 105 sets the credited medals in the inserted state up to the specified number of inserted coins in accordance with the operation of the bet switch 220, and the credits stored in the credit storage area. A credit subtraction process for subtracting the number of medals set to the inserted state from the number is performed. In the present embodiment, if the bet button B0 is pressed when the specified number of insertions is set to three, if there are three or more credited medals, three are set to the insertion state. If the number of credited medals is two or less, all of the credited medals are set to the inserted state.

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

  The internal lottery means 120 determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation on the start lever SL (first press operation on the activated start lever SL). Means for performing an internal lottery, and performs a lottery table selection process, a random number determination process, a lottery flag setting process, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which internal lottery table is used for internal lottery among a plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the main lottery table storage unit 191 stores ten types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 10) as shown in FIGS. In each internal lottery table, each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535) corresponds to various combinations such as replays, small roles, bonuses, and loses (unauthorized). It is attached.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, small roles 1 to 11 are prepared as small roles, and the winning order of the small roles is a batting order bell 1 to a batting order bell 9, a common bell, watermelon, cherry, and JAC. Is set.

  The winning mode of each small combination will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6. The batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 include two to four types of one small combination (a small combination with one payout), one This shows that the eight kinds of small combinations (dividends with eight dividends: an example of a specific combination) are won, and the common bell is one type of 13 small combinations (dividends of 13 A small combination) and one type of 14 small combinations (a small combination with a payout of 14) overlap each other.

  Watermelon also indicates that one type of three small roles (dividends with three dividends) will be won independently, and Cherry is one type of two small roles (small portion with two dividends). JAC is a single winning combination, 5 types of 1 small role, 1 type of 2 small size role, 1 type of 3 size small role, 1 type of 8 size small role, This indicates that one type of 13 small combination, one type of 14 small combination, and one type of 15 small combination (a small combination of 15 payouts) are won.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, replay 1 to replay 6 are prepared as replays, and normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 and batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 12 are set as the winning aspects of the replay. Yes.

  The winning mode of each replay will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7. Normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 indicate that two types of replay including replay 1 are won and the winning order replay 1 ~ Strike order replay 6 indicates that two to five kinds of replays including replay 1 and replay 2 are won, and hit order replay 7 to hit order replay 12 includes two kinds including replay 1 and replay 3 It shows that 5 types of replays are won in duplicate.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of the small roles are the same in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the internal lottery table 1 = internal lottery table 2 = internal lottery table 5 <internal lottery table 3 <. The replay winning probability increases in the order of the internal lottery table 4. Further, in the internal lottery table 6, a small role is won with higher probability than the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and replay is not a lottery target. Further, in the internal lottery table 7 to the internal lottery table 10, a small role is not a lottery object, and only replay is won. Internal lottery table 7 = internal lottery table 8 <internal lottery table 9 <internal The winning probability of replay increases in the order of the lottery table 10.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, a regular big bonus (RBB: an example of a bonus) and a challenge big bonus (CBB: an example of a bonus) are prepared as bonuses. In the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4, Regular big bonus (RBB) and challenge big bonus (CBB) are set as lottery targets, but in internal lottery table 5 to internal lottery table 10, regular big bonus (RBB) and challenge big bonus (CBB) are both It is excluded from the lottery.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal state, the RBB establishment state, the RBB state (an example of the bonus state), and the CBB state (an example of the bonus state) can be set as the gaming state, and the RT state (replay lottery) Non-RT state, RT1 state, RT2 state, and RT3 state can be set as the state). In the lottery table selection process, any one of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 is selected according to the gaming state and the RT state. Is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the main lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190 for the acquired random number value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. Note that the lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. 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 regular big bonus (RBB) is won in an internal lottery, a process of carrying over the winning state of the regular big bonus (RBB) lottery flag until the regular big bonus (RBB) wins is performed. . At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery for determining whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the regular big bonus (RBB) 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. In this embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, the lottery flags corresponding to the small roles 1 to 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and the replay is performed in the internal lottery. When winning, the lottery flags for both the small role and the replay may be set to the 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 this embodiment, in principle, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reels are supposed to stop. 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 the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, the third reel R3 is rotating during the rotation corresponding to the pressed stop button within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. The reels are supposed to stop. When the rotating third reel R3 is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the third reel R3 is stopped at the stop position of the rotating third reel R3 from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. The number of frames required to do so is determined within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame (predetermined pull-in range). The reel control means 130 corresponds to the combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 that has been pressed in the CBB state. When the symbol is located within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame with respect to the display position on the active line at the time when the stop button B3 is pressed, the lottery flag is set to the winning state. Control is performed to stop the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the corresponding symbol is displayed at the display position on the active line. However, even in the CBB state, for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed. .

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, 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 gaming state is RBB established, the winning of the small role is prioritized over the bonus. Therefore, if the batting order bell is won and the stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order, the 8 small roles will win. Priority is given so that regular big bonus (RBB) winning is avoided when the symbols constituting the winning form of a single small role are displayed on the active line even if the stop operation is performed in the order of incorrect answering. Is required. However, when winning a watermelon or cherry, the regular big bonus cannot be displayed on the active line because the symbols that make up the winning form of the three small roles corresponding to watermelon and the two small roles corresponding to cherry cannot be displayed on the active line. Since there is a pressing detection position that can display the symbols constituting the (RBB) winning pattern on the active line, if a watermelon or cherry wins in the RBB established state, the small role will not win A regular big bonus (RBB) may be awarded.

  Further, when the hitting bell is won in the RBB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the small role that is prioritized changes depending on the pressing order. For example, when the hitting bell is won in the RBB 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 winning combination is preferentially won over the eight small winning combinations in the RBB established state, the expected value of medal acquisition in the RBB established state can be suppressed lower, and thus the regular in the RBB established state. The player can be motivated to win a big bonus (RBB) 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. 9, the correct batting order (an example of a specific operation order) ) 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. 9, 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 (an example of a specific operation mode), When a stop position is set with respect to the pressed detection position so that a small winning combination of 8 sheets is won, and one stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in an incorrect answering order (an example of an operation mode different from the specific operation mode) Stop position relative to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where one of the small roles wins and a case where a symbol combination showing an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line without winning any of the small roles Has been.

  Even if the batting order bell is won in the RBB established 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 RBB established state, the symbols constituting the winning form of any small role are always displayed on the active line. Since the regular big bonus (RBB) winning is avoided in this case, the regular big bonus (RBB) is won even if neither of the 8 small or 1 small winnings included in the batting order bell is won. Will never win. As described above, in this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the spinning reels are stopped so that the 8 small roles win, When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order, the rotating reel is stopped so that the eight small winning combinations are not won.

  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. 10, 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.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any one of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won and the stop button B1 to B3 is 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.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, a situation occurs in which the small role and the replay are won, and in that case, the replay will not win and the small role will win. Yes. When the replay is won in the CBB state, as shown in FIG. 11, a specific batting order is set according to the winning aspect of the replay, and the order of the stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is the specific batting order. Depending on whether or not, the kind of small part which wins is different.

  In the present embodiment, when the replay is won in the CBB state, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order according to the winning aspect of the replay, the 13 small combinations (small combination 9) will win. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order different from the specific hitting order, the stop with respect to the pressed detection position is such that a 14-piece small combination (small combination 10) wins. The position is set. If the replay is not won in the internal lottery in the CBB state, the stop position relative to the press detection position is set so that the 14 small roles are won no matter which stop button B1-B3 is pressed in any pressing order. ing.

  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 FIGS. 12 and 13, a regular big bonus (RBB), a challenge big bonus (CBB), replay 1 to replay 6, A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not a small combination 1 to a small combination 11 has been won or whether an RT fluctuation blank has been displayed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning determination process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning determination 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. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state by the gaming state transition control means 170 is performed. 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 role wins, the number of payouts, which is the number of medals to be paid out, is determined based on a predetermined payout for each role, and a medal corresponding to the determined number of payouts is assigned to the hopper unit. 320 (payout device) is controlled to pay out.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. Specifically, when a payout signal output from the payout control means 150 is input, the hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals. 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 based on a payout detection signal that is an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. The number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 can be managed.

  The payout control means 150 determines the number of payouts when the small role is won, and starts to output a payout signal to the hopper unit 320 to cause the hopper unit 320 to pay out medals, thereby paying out medals. In accordance with the payout detection signal from the detection switch 325, the number of medals paid out with respect to the payout number (the number of medals paid out in one game) stored in the payout number storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 A payout number addition process for adding numbers is performed. When the payout number (the number of medals actually paid out) reaches the number of payouts, the output of the payout signal is stopped and the medal payout operation of the hopper unit 320 is ended.

  In the case where medal credit (internal storage) is permitted because the number of credits stored in the credit storage area is less than the upper limit number of credits, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credits stored in the credit storage area up to the upper limit number of credits is performed to virtually pay out medals. Here, when only a part of the payout number is credited, the remaining medals not credited are actually paid out from the hopper unit 320.

  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. 14A, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the RBB establishment state, the RBB state, and the CBB 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 RBB establishment state or the CBB state is possible. Specifically, when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the RBB establishment state, and when the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal state, the challenge big bonus is always obtained in the winning game. (CBB) wins and shifts to the CBB state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the internal big lottery tables 1 to 1 in which the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are set as the lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to any of the internal lottery tables 4 according to the RT state. Thus, in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed so that there is a case where the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won.

  The RBB establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the internal lottery. In the RBB establishment state, whether or not a small role is decided is determined with the same probability as the normal state in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, and the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) ) Are excluded from the lottery object, and 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.

  Also, in the RBB established state, whether or not to play a small role and replay is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the regular big bonus (RBB) is maintained in the winning state until the regular big bonus (RBB) wins, and the regular big bonus (RBB) ) Is displayed on the active line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the RBB established state to the RBB state based on the regular big bonus (RBB) winning.

  The RBB state is a gaming state that transitions when a symbol combination indicating a regular big bonus (RBB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the RBB state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, 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 RBB 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. As described above, in the RBB state, control is performed so that the lottery flag for the small role is set to the winning state with a higher probability than the normal state.

  Further, in the RBB 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 RBB state, and medals exceeding the predetermined end payout number (for example, 300) are determined. When is paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the RBB state and returns the gaming state to the normal state.

  The CBB state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of a challenge big bonus (CBB) is displayed on the active line. In the CBB state, any one of the internal lottery table 7 to the internal lottery table 10 in which a lottery or replay is obtained as a result of the internal lottery among the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. An internal lottery with reference to the RT state is performed.

  Also, in the CBB state, the lottery flags of the small combination 1 to the small combination 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery in each game, and if the result of the internal lottery is lost, Is won, and when the result of the internal lottery is replay, 13 winning combinations are won in a specific batting order corresponding to the winning mode of replay, and 14 winning combinations are won in an order other than the specific batting order. In this way, in the CBB state, control is performed so that the lottery flag for the small role is set to the winning state with a higher probability than the normal state.

  In the CBB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus game in the CBB state, and the medals exceed the predetermined end payout number (for example, 13). When the game is paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the CBB state and returns the gaming state to the normal state. In particular, in the present embodiment, in the CBB state, a 13 bonus combination is awarded in the 1st bonus game, a 2nd bonus game can be performed, and the 14 bonus game is awarded in the 1st bonus game. The second bonus game cannot be played once the conditions are met. That is, in the CBB state, when the replay is won in the first bonus game, an opportunity to win a 13-piece combination can be obtained, and if a 13-piece combination can be won, a 13-piece combination can be won. You can earn more medals than if you didn't.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, 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 10 shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as replay winning modes, and the replay winning probability is about 1/7. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 1 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 7 (CBB state) set to .3 is performed. In this embodiment, when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the RBB state, the RT state is initialized and set to the non-RT state, and when the gaming state is the normal state, the non-RT state In the RT state other than the above, when one small winning combination wins, the RT state shifts to a 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, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the hitting order replay 1 to the hitting order replay 6 is set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 2 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 8 (CBB state) 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. Also, in the RT2 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the hitting order replay 7 to the hitting order replay 12 are set as the replay winning modes, and the replay winning probability is about 1/2. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 3 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 9 (CBB state) 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. In the RT3 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the replay winning modes, and the replay winning probability is about 1/2. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 4 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 10 (CBB state) 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.

  In the present embodiment, the RT control means 173 shifts the RT state in accordance with each of the above fluctuation conditions when the gaming state stays in the normal state or the CBB state, and in particular, wins and wins a challenge big bonus (CBB). In addition, depending on the end of the CBB state, the RT state is not changed.

  Therefore, when the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is won and won and the gaming state is changed from the normal state to the CBB state, the RT state when the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is won is maintained until the end of the CBB state. In particular, in this embodiment, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is always won in the winning game and the symbol combination that causes the RT state to change in the game of the CBB state is not displayed on the active line. The RT state does not change depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in the game from when (CBB) is won until the CBB state ends.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the AT control means 175 has a plurality of types of effect states including a non-AT state (an example of a normal effect state), an AT preparation state, an AT state (an example of a special effect state), and an AT end standby state. The production state is changed (shifted) between the two, the production state is set to the AT state under a predetermined condition, and the AT state end condition is based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 (an example of the first counter). The control for ending the AT state when the end condition for the AT state is satisfied is performed. In the present embodiment, in a game staying in the AT ready state or AT state, the effect control means 180 assists the winning of eight small roles (small role 6) by notifying the correct batting order when winning the batting order bell. When a replay is won in the first bonus game in the CBB state, the specific batting order is notified so that the second bonus game can be performed and the 13 small roles (small role 9) In the second bonus game in the CBB state, a winning assist effect is performed to assist the winning of 14 small roles (small role 10), and the player stays in a non-AT state. It is now possible to play games where it is easier to win medals than games.

  The AT control means 175 is based on the fact that one of the common bell, watermelon, and cherry is won in the internal lottery when the game state is the normal state and the performance state is the non-AT state or the AT end standby state. Then, an AT lottery for determining whether or not to shift the effect state to the AT state is performed. In the AT lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191 according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won. In the AT lottery table, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the AT lottery is associated with winning in the AT lottery table. If it is, it is determined that the AT lottery is won. In the present embodiment, a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/256, a medium probability state with a winning probability of about 1/64, and a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/32 are set as the lottery states of the AT lottery. In AT lottery, an AT lottery table corresponding to the lottery state is referred to. That is, when the lottery state is a high probability state, the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than that when the lottery state is a medium probability state is referred to. Reference is made to the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than in the case where is in the low probability state. 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 medium probability state, and the high probability state, or the winning probability of the AT lottery increases in the order of “low probability state <medium probability state <high probability state”. There may be a winning mode, and if the total number of random numbers assigned to the AT lottery win is in the relationship of “low probability state <medium probability state <high probability state”, the AT lottery win for each winning mode The probability can be arbitrarily determined.

  Then, when the AT lottery is won, the AT control means 175 shifts the effect state from the non-AT state to the AT ready state, and in the AT ready state, the effect control means 180 wins the RT state to the RT3 state. An auxiliary effect is executed.

  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.

  Then, the AT control means 175 shifts the effect state from the AT preparation state to the AT state based on the fact that the RT state has shifted to the RT3 state when the AT preparation state is set. 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 AT control means 175 sets a value “100” corresponding to 100 times that is the number of games to be the end condition of the AT state in the AT end determination counter 195 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, and the AT state Then, every time a game is played, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a constant value “1” corresponding to one game is subtracted from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195. Update the decrement. When the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is won in the AT state and the gaming state shifts to the CBB state, only the first bonus game is subject to decrement update, and the second bonus game is subject to decrement update. It is supposed not to. That is, in the AT state, only one game is counted regardless of whether the CBB state is finished with one bonus game or two bonus games. Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 195 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.

  When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value “0”, the AT control unit 175 determines that the AT state end condition is satisfied, and the AT control unit 175 ends the AT state. The effect state is set to the AT end standby state, and when the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby 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 this embodiment, it is possible to set an advantageous section as a management section for initialization processing, and it is possible to make the performance state stay in the AT ready state, the AT state, or the AT end standby state only in the advantageous section. It can be done. For this reason, as will be described in detail later, when the advantageous period ends when the performance state stays in the AT ready state, the AT state, or the AT end standby state, as shown in FIG. The preparation state, the AT state, or the AT end standby state is forcibly ended and a transition to the non-AT state is made.

  As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section based on the fact that the AT lottery is won in the normal section. For this reason, in the AT lottery of the present embodiment, in addition to whether or not the effect state is shifted to the AT state, it is also determined whether or not to shift the game section to the advantageous section.

  In addition, AT control means 175, in the AT state, if the winning mode of the small role obtained by the internal lottery is watermelon, cherry or common bell, the AT ends according to the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery An extra lottery for determining whether or not to add a given added value to the stored value of the determination counter 195 is performed. In this way, when the winning mode of the small role obtained in the internal lottery is watermelon, cherry or common bell, the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state, but in the AT state, it is replaced with the AT lottery. And add lottery.

  In the extra lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191, depending on the comparison result. And determine whether or not the lottery is won. In the extra lottery table, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value obtained in the extra lottery is associated with the winning in the extra lottery table. If it is, it is determined that the winning lottery is 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. As described above, in the present embodiment, when an extra lottery is won in the AT state (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), a given added value is added to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 (the AT end determination counter 195 is The stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is updated so that the number of counts from the current stored value to the threshold value is increased).

  In addition, when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the AT state, the AT control means 175 suspends the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 195 based on the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB) and interrupts the AT state. Then, after the RBB state ends, the AT state is resumed as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state.

  Further, the AT control means 175 sets the lottery state of the AT lottery to the high probability state based on the fact that the AT state termination condition is satisfied, and causes the AT lottery state to stay in the high probability state in the AT end standby state. And when the production state shifts from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state, the AT lottery state is set to the medium probability state, and in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the AT lottery state is set according to the RT state, When the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state, the AT lottery state remains in the medium probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the AT lottery lottery Make the state stay in a high probability state. In the normal section, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the low probability state regardless of the RT state.

  And in this embodiment, the end lottery which determines whether a middle probability state or a high probability state is complete | finished based on having won the replay when staying in the non-AT state in the advantageous section is performed. In the end lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the end lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191, and according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the end lottery is won. In the end lottery table, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the end lottery is associated with winning in the end lottery table. If it is determined that the final lottery has been won. When the end lottery is won, an initialization process is performed by an initialization unit 177 described later, and the lottery state of the AT lottery is initialized to a low probability state by the initialization process. Thus, in the present embodiment, after the AT state ends, the AT lottery state stays in the high probability state in the AT end standby state, and after the AT end standby state shifts to the non-AT state, the end lottery is won. The lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the medium probability state or the high probability state, and it is easy to win the AT lottery after the end of the AT state.

  In the present embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the non-AT state or the AT end standby state, and at the end of the RBB state or the CBB state, which is shifted with the winning of the bonus. The lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the RT state, and the end lottery is performed based on the fact that the replay is won even when staying in the advantageous section in the non-AT state after the end of the RBB state or the CBB state, Until the final lottery is won, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the medium probability state or high probability state.

  The initialization unit 177 generates an advantageous section (an example of a specific game section) under a predetermined condition, and performs an initialization process for initializing control information related to the performance state based on the end of the advantageous section. In particular, in the present embodiment, the presentation state is initialized to a non-AT state by the initialization process, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the AT lottery state has a low probability. It is to be initialized to the state. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, a normal section, an advantageous section, and an internal middle standby section can be set as a game section for management of initialization processing, and the initialization means 177 sets the advantageous section. The game section is shifted between a plurality of types of game sections including the game section, and based on the fact that the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section. In other words, in the present embodiment, the AT ready state can be set when the normal section shifts to the advantageous section and the advantageous section, and the AT state and the AT end standby state are the advantageous section. The AT ready state, AT state, and AT end standby state cannot be set in the internal standby zone (except when shifting to the advantageous zone in the normal zone). In the normal section, the vehicle stays in a non-AT state. In the present embodiment, based on the fact that a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 196 (an example of the second counter and the specific counter) in the game won in the AT lottery in the normal section, and the advantageous section is entered. Update of the clear counter 196 is started, and in the advantageous section, every time a game is played, an increment update is performed to add a constant value (for example, 1) to the stored value of the clear counter 196, and the stored value of the clear counter 196 Is reached based on the fact that the threshold value (for example, 1501) is reached. In this embodiment, the clear counter 196 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 196 is updated at any timing. For example, a game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update opportunity. As described above, in the present embodiment, the clear counter 196 operates (updates) in addition to the AT end determination counter 195 in the AT state, and the stored value of the clear counter 196 has reached the threshold value. The initialization process is executed based on the above.

  In the present embodiment, no update condition other than one game is set as the update condition of the clear counter 196. For example, even if the above-described extra lottery is won, an extra is added to the clear counter 196. In the advantageous section, the clear counter 196 is updated only by a fixed value so that the stored value approaches the threshold every time a game is performed. That is, the clear counter 196 counts the number of games in the advantageous section.

  In this embodiment, the clear counter 195 is initialized based on the fact that the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. Specifically, the stored value of the clear counter 195 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). The The initialization of the clear counter 195 may be performed in the initialization process together with the above-described effect state, AT end determination counter 195, and AT lottery state initialization.

  In the present embodiment, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the normal section is shifted to the end of the advantageous section, and the initialization process is executed in accordance with the transition to the normal section. . For this reason, when the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation where the AT state is stayed, the AT state based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is initialized by the initialization process when the transition to the normal section is performed. Even if the termination condition is not satisfied, the AT state is forcibly terminated and initialized to the non-AT state.

  Further, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches a threshold value in the situation where the AT preparation state is stayed, the AT preparation state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process when shifting to the normal section and is not performed. Initialized to the AT state, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 set at the time of winning the AT lottery is also initialized to an initial value (for example, 0).

  Further, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation where the AT end standby state is stayed, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state when shifting to the normal section. The AT end standby state is forcibly ended by the initialization process without waiting, and is initialized to the non-AT state.

  In this embodiment, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the initialization process is immediately executed regardless of the effect state, the game state, and the RT state. Since the gaming state and the RT state are not initialized, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation where the RBB is established, the RBB is established even after the initialization process. When the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation where the player stays in the RBB state or the CBB state, the bonus game in the RBB state or the CBB state continues after the initialization process and stays in the RT3 state. When the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation, the RT3 state remains even after the initialization process.

  In this embodiment, once the advantageous section is started, the clear counter 196 is continuously updated regardless of changes in the effect state, the game state, and the RT state. That is, the initialization unit 177 updates the clear counter 196 in any stage, any game state, and any RT state in the advantageous section, and continues to update the clear counter 196 even if the stage changes. Even if the RT state changes, the clear counter 196 continues to be updated, and even if the gaming state changes, the clear counter 196 continues to be updated. Therefore, even when the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the internal lottery in the advantageous section and the gaming state shifts to the RBB established state, the RBB state, or the CBB state, The clear counter 196 is continuously updated in any gaming state.

  Further, the initialization means 177 sets a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the clear counter 196 to generate an advantageous interval even when the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the case where it is not an advantageous interval. . In this embodiment, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is always won in the winning game, but the regular big bonus (RBB) is stopped at an appropriate timing. If the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the regular section, if the regular big bonus (RBB) is not won, the system shifts to the internal middle standby section and the regular big bonus (RBB) ) To shift to an advantageous section with winning.

  Further, in this embodiment, execution of the AT lottery is prohibited when it is an internal medium waiting section, and the AT lottery is not executed even when a winning mode that triggers the execution of the AT lottery is obtained in the internal lottery. It has become. Note that the AT lottery may be executed also in the internal standby zone, but in this case, it is preferable to invalidate the AT lottery result.

  In this embodiment, the advantageous section is started by winning the AT lottery in the normal section and the game is played in the AT state in the advantageous section. However, even if the AT state ends, the AT state ends. The advantage section is maintained until the end lottery is won in the later non-AT state and the end lottery is won after the end of the AT state (an example in which a predetermined predetermined situation has occurred). Is terminated, the normal section is shifted to the end of the advantageous section, and the initialization process is executed in accordance with the transition to the normal section. As described above, in this embodiment, the stored value of the clear counter 196 has reached the threshold value in the advantageous interval, and the end lottery has been won before the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the advantageous interval. The advantageous section is terminated based on either of the following.

  However, in the present embodiment, after the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs in the advantageous section or in the advantageous section, the game information notification described later is executed once (an example of N times: N is a natural number) or more. If the winning lottery is won after that, it is determined that the condition for ending the advantageous section has been satisfied, and the advantageous technique section is ended. However, a transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs once in the advantageous section. If the winning lottery is won in a situation where the game information notification is not executed even once, and the bonus value (RBB or CBB) is until the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value. ) Until winning or a game information notification is executed at least once in the advantageous section, and then the advantageous section is ended.

  In other words, when the winning lottery is won in the advantageous section, if there is a transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) between the start of the advantageous section and the winning end lottery or If the game information notification has been executed at least once in the advantageous section, it is determined that the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied, and the advantageous section is ended. When the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) has not occurred between the start time and the end lottery, and the game information notification has not been executed once in the advantageous section Is until the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches a threshold value, until a bonus (RBB or CBB) is won or during an advantageous period By continuing the game information notification to be executed at least once to end the advantageous interval from Te. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the end lottery is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is terminated according to the number of executions of the game information notification or the presence / absence of the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state).

  In the present embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the notification counter 199 along with the shift to the advantageous section, and the game information at the time of winning the batting order bell in the advantageous section When the notification is executed, or when the gaming state shifts to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) in the advantageous section, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the notification counter 199 Whether or not the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurred in the advantageous section depending on whether or not the stored value is the initial value (for example, 0), and whether or not the game information notification was executed once in the advantageous section Judge whether or not. In the normal section, when an advantageous section starts when a regular big bonus (RBB) or a challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, an initial value is set without setting a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the notification counter 199. Leave it at (for example, 0).

  Further, in this embodiment, if the end lottery is won in a situation where the stored value of the notification counter 199 is not the initial value (for example, 0) in the advantageous section, the winning information of the end lottery is held until the advantageous section ends. Until the bonus (RBB or CBB) is won or until the game information notification is executed at least once in the advantageous section, but if the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold during that time, the bonus (RBB or Even if CBB) has not won a prize, the advantageous section is immediately terminated even if the game information notification is not executed once. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the advantageous section, regardless of the number of executions of the game information notification and the presence or absence of the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state). It is judged that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the advantageous section is ended.

  The display control means 179 controls the display of the game information display unit DS (such as the credit display unit CD, the payout display unit PO, and the bonus display unit BS) as the game information display device 327. In the present embodiment, the credit display unit CD (credit display device) and the payout display unit PO (payout display device) include a segment driver that is a circuit for driving a segment of a 7-segment display, and FIGS. ), A 7-segment display for displaying an upper digit for displaying 2-digit numbers from 0 to 99 and a 7-segment display for displaying a lower digit are displayed. A segment driver which is a circuit for driving a segment of the segment display, and a 7-segment display for displaying a 3-digit number from 0 to 999 as shown in FIG. It consists of a 7-segment display for displaying digits and a 7-segment display for displaying lower digits. Each of the 7-segment displays constituting the credit display unit CD, the payout display unit PO, and the bonus display unit BS has a character “8” shape as shown in FIGS. 17 (A) to (C). 7 and the dot-shaped segment H arranged at the lower right of the segments A to G, and the display control means 179 uses the 8-bit data to represent the eight segments A to G. By controlling the turning on / off of each H, various displays such as numbers and symbols are possible. In the credit display unit CD, the payout display unit PO, and the bonus display unit BS, the segment driver outputs a segment drive signal for driving each segment of the 7-segment display in response to the display control signal from the display control means 179. Thus, the display mode of the 7-segment display is changed.

  When the medal is paid out with the winning of the small role, the display control means 179 sets the payout number which is the number of medals paid out with the winning of the small role (paid out in one game). Based on this, the payout display unit PO performs control for causing the payout display unit PO to perform a payout number notification for informing the medal payout number by displaying the medal payout number on the payout display unit PO. Specifically, when the payout amount addition process is performed in accordance with the winning of the small role, based on the payout number (the number of medals paid out in one game) stored in the payout number storage area, A payout number display process for displaying the payout number of medals on the payout display unit PO is performed. In the present embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out is displayed using the seven segments A to G of each of the seven-segment displays constituting the payout display section PO, and the dots of the respective seven-segment displays constituting the payout display section PO. The shape segment H is not used for displaying the number of medals paid out. When the number of medals paid out is displayed on the payout display section PO, each 7-segment display constituting the payout display section PO is triggered by the fact that the medal is set in the inserted state for the next game. The non-display process for turning off the seven segments A to G is performed. Thereby, the display of the number of medals paid out is completed.

  Further, the display control means 179 displays the credit number notification for notifying the credit number of the medal by displaying the credit number of the medal on the credit display unit CD based on the credit number stored in the credit storage area. Control to be executed. Specifically, when a credit addition process is performed in association with the insertion of a medal into the medal insertion slot MI, a credit addition process is performed in association with the winning of a small role, or the bet button B0. When the credit subtraction process is performed in response to the depression of, a credit number display process for displaying the credit number of medals on the credit display unit CD is performed based on the credit number stored in the credit storage area. . In the present embodiment, the number of credits of medals is displayed using the seven segments A to G of each of the seven segment displays constituting the credit display section CD, and the dots of the respective seven segment displays constituting the credit display section CD. The shape segment H is not used for displaying the number of credits of medals. Further, the display control means 179 always displays the credit number of medals on the credit display unit CD regardless of whether or not the game is being played.

  Further, the display control means 179 displays a bonus payout number notification for informing the total of the number of medals paid out in the RBB state on the bonus display unit BS by displaying the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state on the bonus display unit BS. Control to be executed. Specifically, in the RBB state, the number of medals paid out is accumulated and counted, and the display control means 179 is in the RBB state that is being counted when the medals are paid out in accordance with the small role winning in the RBB state. A bonus payout number display process in which a display control signal corresponding to the total payout number of medals is output to the bonus display unit BS and the current total number of medal payouts in the RBB state is displayed on the bonus display unit BS. Do. In the present embodiment, the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state is displayed using the seven segments A to G of each of the seven segment displays constituting the bonus display section BS, and each of the bonus display section BS is configured. The dot-shaped segment H of the 7-segment display is not used for displaying the number of medals paid out in the RBB state.

  Further, the display control means 179 indicates the instruction contents of the game method (specifically, at the time of winning the batting order bell or batting order replay when the production state is the AT ready state or the AT state in the advantageous section (an example of a predetermined condition) Control is performed to cause the payout display unit PO to execute instruction information notification for notifying the instruction information by causing the payout display unit PO to display instruction information which is information indicating the pressing order to be operated. In particular, in the present embodiment, when winning the batting order bell or batting order replay, the game information indicating the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won) or batting order replay (when the batting order replay is won) is used as the instruction information. (Identification information indicating correct hit order, correct hit order information) is displayed. This causes the payout display unit PO to execute game information notification for notifying game information indicating the correct answer order as instruction information notification, and instructing the player to operate in the correct answer order as a game method.

  In this embodiment, the instruction information includes nine types of “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, and “9”. Numbers are set in advance, and the instruction content indicated by each number is as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19. For example, for “1”, the stop button B1 is first pressed as the instruction content. It is preset that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order (batting order 1, 2) (the pressing order to be operated is the order in which the stop button B1 is first pressed).

  Then, when winning the batting order bell or batting order replay, the display control means 179 displays the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won) or batting order replay (when the batting order replay is won), as shown in FIG. Instruction information display processing for displaying game information (instruction information) shown on the payout display unit PO 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, the instruction information is not displayed even if the hitting bell is won until the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line to guide the gaming state to the RT1 state. It has become. Even when the performance state is neither the AT ready state nor the AT state, the instruction information is not displayed even if the batting order bell is won.

  Also, the display control means 179 provides instruction information notification for notifying instruction information by causing the payout display section PO to display instruction information when the replay is won even when the effect state is AT preparation state or AT state in the CBB state. Control to be executed by the payout display unit PO is performed. In particular, in the present embodiment, when replay is won in the first bonus game in the CBB state, game information indicating a specific batting order, which is a pressing order that can win 13 small roles, is displayed as instruction information. When the replay is won in the second bonus game, game information indicating a pressing order different from the specific hitting order, which is the pressing order in which the 14 small roles can be won, is displayed as the instruction information. This allows the payout display unit PO to execute game information indicating the game information indicating the specific batting order or the game information indicating the pressing order different from the specific batting order as the instruction information notification, and operating in the correct batting order as the game method. To the person in charge.

  Specifically, when replay is won in the first bonus game in the CBB state, as shown in FIG. 19A, game information (instruction information) indicating a specific batting order according to the winning mode of replay is displayed. When the replay is won in the second bonus game displayed on the payout display section PO, as shown in FIG. 19B, game information indicating a pressing order different from the specific batting order according to the winning mode of the replay An instruction information display process for displaying (instruction information) on the payout display unit PO is performed. If the replay is not won in the CBB state, the 14 small roles can be won in any pressing order, so that the instruction information is not displayed.

  Further, even when the display control means 179 stays in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, when the end lottery is won and the stored value of the notification counter 199 is not the initial value (for example, 0) (predetermined) As an example of the condition, control is performed to cause the payout display unit PO to execute instruction information notification for notifying the instruction information by displaying the instruction information on the payout display unit PO when the batting order bell is won.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the instruction information is displayed using the seven segments A to G of each of the seven-segment displays constituting the payout display section PO, and the dot shape of each of the seven-segment displays constituting the payout display section PO is displayed. The segment H is not used for displaying instruction information. When the instruction information is displayed on the payout display portion PO, display of the instruction information is started in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL (at the timing when the game start operation is performed), and the winning determination process is performed. The display of the instruction information is terminated based on the notification. Specifically, when a small role is won, the number of medals paid out is displayed in place of the instruction information by performing a payout amount display process in conjunction with the payout of the medal, and the small role is not won. Performs a non-display process for turning off the seven segments A to G of each seven-segment display constituting the payout display unit PO, thereby terminating the display of the instruction information. As described above, in the present embodiment, the instruction information is displayed on the payout display unit PO during the rotation of the reel, and when the small combination wins, the number of medals paid out is displayed instead of the instruction information.

  Further, the display control means 179 performs control for causing the payout display unit PO to execute advantageous section notification (specific game section notification) for notifying that the advantageous section is in the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the dot-shaped segment H of the 7-segment display for displaying the lower digits constituting the payout display unit PO is used as a section display PD for informing a game section. And whether or not it is in the advantageous section is notified by whether or not the section display PD is turned on. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20B, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, or when the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal section, the advantageous section When the predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 196 and the stored value of the clear counter 196 becomes larger than the initial value “0”, the section indicator PD is turned on. The section indicator lighting process is performed, and as shown in FIG. 20A, when the value stored in the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value and the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, or the end lottery is won in the advantageous section. If the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, the stored value of the clear counter 196 is initialized to the initial value “0” when the normal section is entered. Is in based on the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the initial value "0", performs the interval indicator off process for turning off a section indicator PD. In this way, it is notified that the advantageous section is in effect by turning on the section indicator PD along with the transition to the advantageous section, and advantageous by turning on the section indicator PD along with the transition to the normal section. Notifying that it is not in a zone (that it is in a game zone (normal zone or internal waiting zone) other than an advantageous zone).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the segments A to G of the 7-segment display for displaying the high-order digit and the 7-segment display for displaying the low-order digit constituting the payout display unit PO are used as the number of medals to be paid out and the instruction information. Is used as a device for displaying a game (first notification unit), and a device (section display device) for notifying a game segment of a dot-shaped segment H of a seven-segment display for displaying lower digits constituting the payout display unit PO. PD, second notification unit).

  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 197. 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 means 198 according to the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like.

  Then, when the production state is the AT preparation state or the AT state, the production control unit 180 displays an instruction production for instructing the instruction content indicated by the instruction information displayed on the payout display unit PO by the display control unit 179 on the display device 330 or the sound. Control to be executed by the device 340 is performed. In other words, in the present embodiment, the instruction content indicated by the instruction information displayed on the payout display unit PO by the display control means 179 is notified on the effect by the effect control means 180. Specifically, at the time of winning the batting order bell, a winning assistance effect (an example of a specific notifying effect) that informs the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell and assists the winning of 8 small roles as an indication effect is displayed. 330 and the sound apparatus 340 are controlled. However, even if the production state is the AT ready state or the AT state, if the RT state is a non-RT state, or if the production state is neither the AT preparation state nor the AT state, even if the batting order bell is won Since the instruction information is not displayed by the display control means 179, the winning assist effect (instruction effect) is not performed.

  In addition, when the rendition is won in the first bonus game in the CBB state when the rendition state is the AT preparation state or the AT state, the rendition control means 180 is specified according to the replay winning mode as the instruction rendition. In the second bonus game, a prize winning effect for assisting the winning of 13 small prizes by informing the batting order is executed on the display device 330 or the sound device 340, and 14 small prizes can be awarded as an instruction effect. A control for causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a winning assistance effect for informing the possible pressing order is performed. In the second bonus game, when the replay is won, the pressing order different from the specific hit order is notified, and when the replay is not won, the display control means 179 does not display the instruction information, but any press Since it is possible to win 14 small roles in the order, the batting order 1 (B1 → B2 → B3) is notified.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control unit 180 notifies the correct batting order as the instruction production when the RT state is staying in the RT1 state when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won. In the situation where the display device 330 or the sound device 340 is executed to assist the winning of the replay 2 and the RT state stays in the RT2 state, the instruction effect is given when the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are won. As a result, the display device 330 or the sound device 340 is controlled to execute a winning assist effect that informs the correct hitting order and assists the winning of the replay 3.

  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. In the case where the player is in the AT state, the winning assistance effect that informs the correct batting order and assists the winning of the replay 2 as the instruction effect at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 Is controlled by the display device 330 and the acoustic 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 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 that informs the correct batting order and assists the winning of the replay 3 is performed as an instruction effect.

  Even if the effect control means 180 is in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, if the winning lottery is won and the stored value of the notification counter 199 is not the initial value (for example, 0), At the time of winning the batting order bell, as the instruction effect, control is performed so that the display device 330 and the audio device 340 execute a winning assist effect that notifies the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell and assists the winning of 8 small roles.

  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.

  2. Method of this embodiment

  In the present embodiment, when an end lottery is won in an advantageous section, a transition to a bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs between the start of the advantageous section and the end lottery win. Or if the game information notification has been executed at least once in the advantageous section, it is determined that the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the advantageous section is terminated, but when the winning lottery is won in the advantageous section, There is no transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) between the start of the advantageous section and the winning of the end lottery, and the game information notification is not executed once in the advantageous section In the case where the value stored in the clear counter 196 reaches a threshold value, until a bonus (RBB or CBB) is won or an advantageous period It employs a technique to terminate the advantageous intervals were allowed to continue Oite game information notification to be executed at least once. Hereinafter, the flow of processing of the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 21 to 26 are flowcharts for explaining the processing of the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  First, normal section processing performed in the normal section will be described.

  In the normal section process, as shown in FIG. 21, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S100), an internal lottery is performed (step S101). In the internal lottery, the common bell, watermelon, cherry If either wins (Y in step S102), an AT lottery is performed (step S103). In the RBB establishment state, no AT lottery is performed regardless of whether the common bell, watermelon or cherry is won in the internal lottery.

  When a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 (Y in step S104), the reel corresponding to the operated stop button is stopped (step S105), and when all the reels stop (Y in step S106), A winning determination process is performed (step S107).

  If it is determined by the winning determination process that the small role has been won (Y in step S108), a payout control process is performed (step S109). In the payout control process, as shown in FIG. 22, a payout number N which is the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on a payout predetermined for each combination (step S200), and the payout number storage in the storage means 190 is stored. The payout number L, which is the number of medals paid out in one game stored in the area, is initialized to “0” (step S201), and the credit number C stored in the credit storage area of the storage means 190 is stored. Is determined to be greater than or equal to “50” (upper limit number of credits) (step S202). If the credit number C is less than “50” (N in step S202), 1 is assigned to the credit number C. A credit addition process of adding “1” corresponding to the number of medals is performed, and a process of virtually paying out medals is performed (step S203). A credit number display process for outputting a signal to the credit display unit CD and displaying the credit number of medals on the credit display unit CD is performed (step S204). A payout number adding process for adding “1” corresponding to the payout number is performed (step S205), and a display control signal corresponding to the payout number L is output to the payout display unit PO to indicate the payout number of medals. A payout amount display process to be displayed on the screen is performed (step S206). Until the number of payouts L reaches the number N of payouts (N in step S207), the processing from step S202 to step S207 is repeated.

  On the other hand, if the credit number C is “50” or more (Y in step S202), or if the credit number C reaches “50” before the payout number L reaches the payout number N (N in step S207). In step S202, Y), an output of a payout signal to the hopper unit 320 is started to start paying out medals to the hopper unit 320 (step S208). When the hopper unit 320 pays out medals, Specifically, when a payout detection signal is input from the payout medal detection switch 325 (Y in step S209), the payout number for adding “1” corresponding to one payout medal to the payout number L An addition process is performed (step S210), and a display control signal corresponding to the number of payouts L is output to the payout display unit PO to calculate the number of payout medals. Payout amount display process for displaying on the output display unit PO is performed (step S211). Until the payout number L reaches the payout number N (N in step S212), the processing of step S209 to step S212 is repeated. When the payout number L reaches the payout number N (Y in step S212), the payout signal The output is stopped and the medal payout operation of the hopper unit 320 is ended (step S213).

  As shown in FIG. 21, when it is determined that the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) has been won by the winning determination process (Y in step S110), “1” is set in the clear counter 196. (Step S111), a display control signal for controlling the operation (extinguishing / lighting) of the section display PD is output to the payout display section PO to turn on the section display PD. Step S112), the process shifts to an advantageous section (Step S113). When an advantageous section is started in accordance with a regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) winning, a predetermined value is not set in the notification counter 199 and the initial value is “0”.

  Also, neither the regular big bonus (RBB) nor the challenge big bonus (CBB) was won (N in step S110), but if the regular big bonus (RBB) was won in the game (in step S114) Y), the process proceeds to the internal middle standby section (step S115).

  If the AT lottery is won (Y in step S116), the effect state is shifted to the AT preparation state, and “100” (a value corresponding to 100 games) is set in the AT end determination counter 195 (step 100). S117), “1” is set in the clear counter 196, “1” is set in the notification counter 199 (step S118), and a display control signal for controlling the operation of the section display PD is output to the payout display unit PO. Then, a section indicator lighting process for lighting the section indicator PD is performed (step S119), and the process proceeds to an advantageous section (step S120).

  Next, the internal / medium standby section process performed in the internal / intermediate standby section will be described.

  In the internal standby section process, as shown in FIG. 23, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S300), an internal lottery is performed (step S301), and a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3. Is performed (Y in step S302), the reel corresponding to the operated stop button is stopped (step S303). When all the reels are stopped (Y in step S304), a winning determination process is performed (step S305). ).

  If it is determined by the winning determination process that the small role has been won (Y in step S306), a payout control process is performed (step S307).

  If the winning determination process determines that the regular big bonus (RBB) has been won (Y in step S308), “1” is set in the clear counter 196 (step S309), and the operation of the section display PD is controlled. The display control signal to be output is output to the payout display unit PO to perform the section display lighting process for lighting the section display PD (step S310), and the process proceeds to the advantageous section (step S311).

  Next, advantageous section processing performed in the advantageous section will be described.

  In the advantageous section process, as shown in FIG. 24, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S400), an internal lottery is performed (step S401).

  If any of the common bell, watermelon and cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-AT state or the AT end standby state (Y in step S402, Y in step S403), an AT lottery is performed (step S404). When winning (Y in step S405), the effect state is shifted to the AT ready state, and “100” is set in the AT end determination counter 195 (step S406). In the RBB establishment state, no AT lottery is performed regardless of whether the common bell, watermelon or cherry is won in the internal lottery.

  When replay is won by internal lottery in the non-AT state (Y in step S407, Y in step S408), an end lottery is performed (step S409). Note that the winning lottery information is held until the advantageous section ends. If none of the common bell, watermelon, cherry and replay is won in the internal lottery in the non-AT state (N in step S408), instruction information processing is performed (step S410).

  In the instruction information processing, as shown in FIG. 26, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S500), the production state is the AT preparation state or the AT state, and the RT state is not the non-RT state. (Y in step S501, Y in step S502), a display control signal corresponding to the type of batting order bell is output to the payout display section PO, and game information indicating the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell (instruction information) Is displayed on the payout display unit PO (step S503), and the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is initialized to “0” (initial value) (step S504). Also, even if the production state is the non-AT state when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S505), the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is not “0” (initial value) and the end lottery is performed. When winning (N in Step S506, Y in Step S507), an instruction information display process for displaying game information (instruction information) indicating a correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell on the payout display unit PO is performed. (Step S503), the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is initialized to “0” (initial value) (Step S504). Further, when the normal replay is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S508), when the production state is the AT ready state or the AT state and the gaming state is the CBB state (Y in step S509, Y in step S510), In the first game in the CBB state, a display control signal corresponding to the type of normal replay is output to the payout display unit PO, and game information (instruction information) indicating a specific batting order corresponding to the type of normal replay is paid out and displayed. The instruction information display process to be displayed on the part PO is performed, and in the second game in the CBB state, a display control signal corresponding to the type of the normal replay is output to the payout display part PO to respond to the type of the normal replay Instruction information display processing for displaying game information (instruction information) indicating a pressing order different from the specific batting order on the payout display unit PO is performed (step S511). Further, when the batting order replay is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S512), if the production state is the AT ready state or the AT state (Y in step S513), in the normal state, a display control signal corresponding to the type of batting order replay Is output to the payout display unit PO, and instruction information display processing for displaying game information (instruction information) indicating the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order replay on the payout display unit PO is performed, and the first time in the CBB state In the game, an instruction to output a display control signal according to the type of batting order replay to the payout display unit PO and to display game information (instruction information) indicating a specific batting order according to the type of batting order replay on the payout display unit PO In the second game in the CBB state where information display processing is performed, a display control signal corresponding to the type of batting order replay is output to the payout display unit PO, and the type of batting order replay is displayed. Instruction information display processing for displaying game information to indicate different pressing sequence a (instruction information) to the payout display unit PO and specific batting order corresponding to is performed (step S514).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 24, when the effect state is the AT state (Y in step S411), and when it is not the second game in the CBB state (N in step S412), the storage of the AT end determination counter 195 is performed. A decrement update is performed to subtract “1” (a constant value corresponding to one game) from the value D (step S413). When any of the common bell, watermelon, and cherry is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S414), an extra lottery is performed (step S415). When an extra lottery is won (Y in step S416), the AT end determination counter 195 A given addition value is added to the stored value D (step S417).

  Also, when the performance state is not any of the non-AT state, the AT state, and the AT end standby state (N in step S411), or when the common bell, watermelon, or cherry is not won in the internal lottery in the AT state ( In step S414, N), instruction information processing is performed (step S410).

  When a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 (Y in step S418), the reel corresponding to the operated stop button is stopped (step S419), and when all the reels stop (Y in step S420), A winning determination process is performed (step S421).

  As shown in FIG. 25, when it is determined that the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) has been won by the winning determination process (Y in step S422), the gaming state is shifted to the bonus state, Specifically, when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won, the state is shifted to the RBB state, and when the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, the state is shifted to the CBB state (step S423). E is initialized to “0” (initial value) (step S424).

  If it is determined by the winning determination process that a small role has been won (Y in step S425), a payout control process is performed (step S426). Here, in the present embodiment, when a small winning combination is won in the game in which the instruction information is displayed on the payout display section PO, the instruction information is replaced by the payout amount display process in step S206 or step S211 shown in FIG. The number of medals paid out is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (A), when “1” is displayed on the payout display portion PO as instruction information in accordance with the winning of the batting order bell 1 in the AT state, As shown in FIG. 27B, “8” is displayed as the medal payout number instead of the instruction information “1”. At this time, as shown in FIG. 27B, the lighting of the section display PD is maintained regardless of the end of the display of the instruction information.

  On the other hand, in the game where the instruction information is displayed on the payout display section PO, if the small role is not won (N in step S425, Y in step S427), each of the 7-segment displays constituting the payout display section PO is displayed. A non-display process for turning off the seven segments A to G is performed, and the display of the instruction information is ended (step S428). For example, as shown in FIG. 27A, in the AT state, when “1” is displayed on the payout display unit PO as instruction information in accordance with the winning of the batting order bell 1, no small part is won. The display of the instruction information is ended as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 27C, the lighting of the section display PD is maintained regardless of the end of the display of the instruction information.

  If it is determined by the winning determination process that Replay 3 has been won (Y in step S429), the RT state transitions to the RT3 state when the effect state is the AT ready state (Y in step S430). Accordingly, the effect state is shifted to the AT state (step S431).

  When the stored value D of the AT end determination counter 195 reaches “0” (threshold value) in the AT state (Y in step S432, Y in step S433), it is determined that the end condition for the AT state is satisfied, The state is shifted to the AT end standby state, and the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to a high probability state (step S434).

  When the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby state (Y in step S435, Y in step S436), the production state is shifted to the non-AT state, and the lottery state of the AT lottery becomes the medium probability state. It is set (step S437).

  Then, an increment update is performed to add “1” (a constant value) to the stored value C of the clear counter 196 (step S438), and the stored value C of the clear counter 196 becomes larger than “1500” (predetermined value). When the threshold value “1501” is reached), it is determined that the advantageous section end condition is satisfied (Y in step S439).

  On the other hand, if the stored value C of the clear counter 196 is “1500” or less (N in step S439), it is determined whether or not the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is “0” (initial value) ( In step S440), when the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is “0” (initial value), a transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs in the advantageous section, or game information notification is performed in the advantageous section. (Yes in step S440), it is determined whether or not the end lottery is won (step S441), and if the end lottery is won, it is determined that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. (Y in step S441).

  When it is determined that the advantageous section end condition is satisfied (Y in step S439, Y in step S441), the stored value C of the clear counter 195 is initialized to “0” (initial value) (step S442). Processing is executed (step S443). Specifically, in the initialization process, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, the stored value D of the AT end determination counter 195 is initialized to “0” (initial value), and the lottery state of the AT lottery is low. Initialized to the probability state, the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is initialized to “0” (initial value). Then, a display control signal for controlling the operation of the section display PD is output to the payout display section PO to perform a section display extinguishing process for turning off the section display PD (step S444), and the process proceeds to the normal section. (Step S445).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the suitability of the winning of the eight small roles is changed according to the pressing order, and when the AT state is set, the instruction information is small by eight. The game information indicating the game information indicating the correct batting order is displayed on the payout display unit PO by causing the payout display unit PO to display the game information indicating the correct batting order, which is the pressing order in which the winning combination can be won. In order to notify the correct batting order indicated by the information on the effect by the winning assistance effect, it is easy to win the eight small roles. In the present embodiment, the production state is kept in the non-AT state in the normal section, and the AT state can be stayed only in the advantageous section, and the lottery state in the AT lottery is in the low probability state in the normal section. It is set to the medium probability state or the high probability state in the advantageous section, and when the performance state is the non-AT state while staying in the advantageous section, the AT lottery with a higher winning probability than the normal section is performed, which is advantageous The section is a game section that is advantageous to the player. In the present embodiment, an internal lottery is performed so that a regular big bonus (RBB) wins and a challenge big bonus (CBB) wins in the normal state, and the regular big bonus (RBB) wins. Then, the game state is shifted to the RBB state, and in the RBB state, an internal lottery is performed so that the small role is won with a higher probability than the normal state. In the CBB state, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flags of the small roles 1 to 10 are forcibly set to the winning state, so that it is easy to obtain medals, and the RBB state or the CBB state is It is an advantageous gaming state.

  In this embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is started, the update of the clear counter 196 is started, and the advantageous section is terminated based on the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaching the threshold value. If the production state is the AT state at the time, even if the end condition of the AT state based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is not satisfied, it is compulsory by the initialization process that initializes the production state to the non-AT state. Since the AT state is ended, the amount of medals that can be obtained in the assist time game can be limited, and the shooting performance can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, even if the AT state ends in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is continued until the end lottery is won in the non-AT state after the end of the AT state, and the advantage is based on winning the end lottery. End the section. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the winning lottery is won in the advantageous section, the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs from the start of the advantageous section to the winning time of the end lottery. Or if the game information notification has been executed at least once in the advantageous section, it is determined that the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the advantageous section is terminated, but when the winning lottery is won in the advantageous section, There is no transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) between the start of the advantageous section and the winning of the end lottery, and the game information notification is not executed once in the advantageous section In the case where the value stored in the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the bonus (RBB or CBB) is won or the advantageous period is reached. There are allowed to continue game information notification to be executed at least once to end the advantageous intervals from. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the profit due to the game information notification being executed once and the profit due to the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) with the winning of the bonus (RBB or CBB). It is possible to prevent as much as possible the occurrence of a situation in which an advantageous section that is advantageous to the player ends without enjoying any of them. Furthermore, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches a threshold value in the advantageous interval, the advantageous interval is immediately determined regardless of the number of times of the game information notification and the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state). In order to terminate the game, the game information notification is not executed once while suppressing the gaze by the initialization process, and the game section is advantageous to the player by not shifting to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state). It is possible to eliminate as many advantageous sections as possible in an unacceptable manner.

  In this embodiment, the threshold value of the clear counter 196, which is the condition for ending the advantageous section, is set to “1501” corresponding to the number of games of 1500 times, but the threshold value of the clear counter 196 is a medal in the advantageous section. The number of acquired medals (difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals) can be set to a value that does not exceed a predetermined number. In this embodiment, the number of acquired medals in the advantageous section exceeds 3000. It is set to a value that is not expected. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 196 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated by 3000 pieces / tilt value. Here, the slope value is the net increase in the number of medals per game (including the number of medals gained by bonus) in the RT3 state when it is assumed that the winning part is the maximum payout part. In the present embodiment, the inclination value is two. For this reason, the number of games in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1500 (= 3000/2 pieces), and after shifting to the advantageous section, “1” is set in the clear counter 196, and the number of games for 1500 times When the number of games is counted, the threshold value is set to “1501” so that the advantageous section ends. 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.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, when the end lottery is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is terminated according to the number of times of the game information notification or the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state). The advantageous section may be terminated only depending on whether or not the transition to the bonus state (the RBB state or the CBB state) is made. For example, when the winning lottery is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is terminated from the start. If the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) has occurred before the winning of the lottery, it is determined that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and the advantageous section is terminated. Bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) between the start of the advantageous section and the end lottery when winning the end lottery If no shift has occurred, the advantageous interval is ended after the value stored in the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value and continues until the bonus (RBB or CBB) is won. May be. Specifically, when the gaming state shifts to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) in the advantageous section, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). Even if the game information notification is executed at the time of winning the bell, the notification counter 199 is not initialized, and a bonus state (RBB state) in the advantageous section depends on whether the stored value of the notification counter 199 is an initial value (for example, 0) or not. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not a transition to the CBB state has occurred. In this way, a situation in which the advantageous section advantageous to the player ends without enjoying the benefit of shifting to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) with the bonus (RBB or CBB) winning Can be prevented as much as possible.

  In the above embodiment, a regular big bonus (RBB) or a challenge big bonus (CBB) is provided as a bonus. However, a regular bonus (RB) may be provided as a bonus. In this example, the internal lottery is performed so that the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state, and when the regular bonus (RB) is won, the game state is shifted to the RB state. The referred internal lottery is performed, and based on the number of games in the RB state and the number of winnings of the small role, it is determined whether or not the termination condition for the RB state is satisfied, and the number of games in the RB state is a predetermined number (for example, 12 times), or the termination of the RB state is triggered when either of the winning conditions for the small role in the RB state reaches a predetermined number (for example, 8 times) is satisfied. The game state is returned to the normal state. Also in this example, as in the above embodiment, when the gaming state shifts to the RB state in the advantageous section, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the end lottery is won in the advantageous section. In this case, the advantageous section may be ended depending on whether or not the state has shifted to the bonus state (the RBB state, the CBB state, or the RB state).

  In the above embodiment, the instruction information (game information indicating the correct batting order) is displayed at the time of winning the batting order bell when the performance state is the AT state in the advantageous section. The instruction information can be displayed only for the winning mode of the small role that satisfies the predetermined condition. Specifically, when the pressing order is notified, there is a winning mode in which the winning probability of the combination is higher than when the pressing order is not notified, and there are a plurality of winning modes in which the winning probability is increased by the notification of the pressing order. When the winning modes are compared with each other, the instruction information can be displayed only for the winning mode including the small part of the maximum payout. If there are a plurality of winning modes that satisfy such conditions, even if the game information notification is executed when any winning mode is obtained, the game information notification related to the end of the advantageous section is provided. The number of executions may be counted. In the above-described embodiment, the winning mode in which the winning probability is increased by the notification of the pressing order and the small role including the small payout with the maximum payout is 8 small roles ( Since there are a plurality of winning modes satisfying the condition for displaying the instruction information, the game information notification is made when any of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 9 is won. Even if executed, the decrement is updated by subtracting a fixed value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of executions of one game information notification from the stored value of the notification counter 199. So that it can be determined whether the game information broadcasting once (N times) is performed it is.

  In the above embodiment, game information indicating the correct batting order, game information indicating the specific batting order, or game information indicating a pressing order different from the specific batting order is displayed on the payout display section PO in the AT ready state or the AT state. However, for example, game information indicating the result of the internal lottery (identification information indicating the result of the internal lottery) may be displayed on the payout display unit PO instead of the game information indicating the correct answer order. Specifically, game information (display mode) indicating the results of the internal lottery corresponding to each of batting order bell, batting order replay, and normal replay is set in advance, and batting order bell or batting order replay in the AT preparation state or AT state, or When the normal replay is won in the CBB state, game information corresponding to the type of batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won), batting order replay (when the batting order replay is won), or normal replay (when the normal replay is won) is paid out. You may make it display on the display part PO. In addition, for example, game information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery (identification information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery) may be displayed on the payout display unit PO instead of the game information indicating the correct answer order. . Specifically, game information (display mode) indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery corresponding to each of the winning combination combinations won in the internal lottery is set in advance, and the batting order bell or batting order in the AT ready state or AT state When the normal replay is won in the replay or CBB state, game information corresponding to the combination of winning combinations won in the internal lottery may be displayed on the payout display unit PO. In addition, 8 small roles A, 8 small roles B, and 8 small roles C are prepared as 8 small roles, and in the batting order bells 1 to 9, a plurality of types of 8 small roles are elected without overlapping each other. As shown in FIG. 28, batting orders 1 and 2 are set as the correct batting order for batting order bells 1 to 3 in which 8 small roles A are won, and for batting order bells 4 to 6 in which 8 bales B are won. In this case, batting order 3 and 4 are set as correct batting order, batting order 5 and 6 are set as batting order 5 to 6 for batting order bells 7 to 9 won by 8 small roles C, and 8 small roles are awarded in the correct batting order. Then, in the incorrect answering order, the spinning reels are stopped so as not to win the 8 small roles, and the game information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery corresponding to each of the 8 small roles A to C (display mode) Is set in advance, and when the batting order bell is won in the AT preparation state or AT state, it corresponds to the type of 8 small roles The technique information may be displayed on the payout display unit PO. Even in this case, the game information indicating the result of the internal lottery and the game information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery are game information indicating the correct hitting order. Play. The game information indicating the correct batting order, the game information indicating the specific batting order, the game information indicating the pressing order different from the specific batting order, the game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, and the game information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery are displayed. When displaying on the part PO, it is desirable to display in a shape (display mode) that is not recognized as a character such as a numeral or an alphabetic character.

  In the above embodiment, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the RT state when the effect state is the non-AT state in the advantageous section. However, the lottery state is changed to change the lottery state. You may do it. For example, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed at the time of winning a cherry, watermelon, or common bell to select a medium probability state or a high probability state. Further, the lottery state may be shifted according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, a high probability state may be set when a cherry, watermelon, or common bell is won, and a medium probability state may be set when lost. Further, when the 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 medium probability state may be set. In addition, the first high probability state that is easy to win when winning a cherry as the high probability state, the second high probability state that is easy to win when winning a watermelon, the third high probability state that is easy to win when winning a common bell, etc. Transition to the first high-probability state, transition to the second high-probability state when winning a watermelon, transition to the third high-probability state when winning the common bell, and if the same lottery opportunity continues, it seems that it is easy to win the AT lottery It is good also as a simple structure.

  In the above embodiment, the advantageous section is ended based on the fact that the end lottery is won in the non-AT state, but the predetermined RT is not set after the AT state ends without providing the end lottery. The transition to the state may be used as the end condition of the advantageous section. For example, when the transition to the non-RT state is set 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 transition is made to the non-AT state. If the stored value of the counter 196 has not reached the threshold value, the advantageous interval continues, and the advantageous interval ends when the player shifts to the non-RT state by winning a single piece without winning the AT lottery. 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.

  Further, for example, when the transition to the RT1 state is set as the end condition of the advantageous section, the transition to the non-AT state is made when one winning combination is won in the AT end standby state, but the stored value of the clear counter 196 becomes the threshold value. If it has not reached, the advantageous section continues, and the advantageous section ends when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line without winning the AT lottery and the state shifts to the RT1 state. 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.

  In the above embodiment, in step S440 and step S441 in FIG. 25, it is determined whether or not the end lottery is won based on the fact that the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is the initial value “0” in the advantageous section. However, the processes in steps S440 and S441 may be performed in the reverse order. That is, it may be determined whether or not the stored value E of the notification counter 199 is the initial value “0” based on winning the end lottery.

  In the above embodiment, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0) when the gaming state shifts to the RBB state or the CBB state. When (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, the stored value of the notification counter 199 may be initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). In this way, when the end lottery is won in a situation where the stored value of the notification counter 199 is not the initial value “0” in the advantageous interval, the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value. , Until the game information notification is executed at least once in the advantageous section or until the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, the advantageous section can be ended. .

  Further, for example, the stored value of the notification counter 199 may be initialized to an initial value (for example, 0) when the termination condition of the RBB state or the CBB state is satisfied in the advantageous section. In this way, when the end lottery is won in a situation where the stored value of the notification counter 199 is not the initial value “0” in the advantageous interval, the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value. The advantageous section can be ended after the game information notification is executed at least once in the advantageous section or until the RBB state or the CBB state ends.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the end lottery is performed at the time of replay winning when staying in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, but the execution opportunity of the end lottery is not limited to the winning of replay, for example, You may make it perform an end lottery with the winning of a challenge big bonus (CBB). In this example, since the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is always won in the winning game, the game state is shifted to the CBB state in the game in which the end lottery is performed. Based on the fact that the game has shifted to the CBB state, the advantageous section may be ended in the game, the advantageous section may be ended in the next game (during the CBB state), or the CBB state You may make it complete | finish an advantageous area after completion | finish of. In other words, even when the bonus condition (RBB state or CBB state) is satisfied, when the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, such as when the end lottery is won or the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value. The section may be terminated and the initialization process may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, “100” corresponding to the number of games of 100 is set in the AT end determination counter 195 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won. You may make it select and set from among the number of games. For example, the initial number of games in the AT state is set to 5, 10, 30, 50, 100, etc., and the AT state initial number of games is determined based on the fact that the AT lottery has been won. A predetermined value corresponding to the number of games selected and selected from among them may be set in the AT end determination counter 195. In this case, the advantageous section may be terminated based on the fact that the AT condition termination condition is satisfied in the advantageous section, and the initialization process may be performed in accordance with the transition from the advantageous section to the normal section. In this case, the AT end standby state may not be provided as the effect state, and the end lottery may not be provided. And in this case, when the initial number of games in the AT state such as 5 times is small, there is frequently a situation where the end condition of the AT state is established without winning the batting order bell in the RT state other than the non-RT state. If the AT state end condition is satisfied, the transition to the bonus state has not occurred, and if the game information notification has not been executed even once, the stored value of the clear counter 196 Until the bonus reaches (RBB or CBB) or until the game information notification is executed once, and then the advantageous section is ended and the game information notification is performed once. Advantages advantageous to the player without enjoying any of the benefits of being executed and the benefits of transitioning to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) During it becomes possible to prevent as much as possible the occurrence of situations such as ends.

  In the above embodiment, when the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal section, it is shifted to the advantageous section. However, the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus in the normal section. If (CBB) wins, the AT lottery will be performed, and if the AT lottery is won, it will be shifted to the advantageous section based on the regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) winning, and the advantageous section The production state is shifted to the AT state via the AT preparation state in the case of, but if the result of the AT lottery is lost, it is advantageous even if the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) wins Stay in a regular section without shifting to a section It may be so that. In this case, if the regular big bonus (RBB) is not won in the game won in the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB), the game is shifted to the internal medium standby state and the internal medium standby state. In the case where the regular big bonus (RBB) is won, the transition is made to the advantageous section, and the production state is shifted to the AT state via the AT preparation state in the advantageous section, but the result of the AT lottery is lost The regular big bonus (RBB) may be allowed to stay in the normal section without shifting to the internal standby state even if the regular big bonus (RBB) is not won. In the internal waiting state, where the AT lottery was won when the regular big bonus (RBB) was won but the bonus was not won, the AT lottery win will determine the transition to the advantageous section. However, the clear counter 196 is not updated.

  FIG. 29 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine in the embodiment in which the CZ state (another example of the special effect state) is provided as the effect state.

  In this aspect, the storage unit 190 includes the CZ end determination counter 200, and the AT control unit 175 performs the CZ lottery according to the result of the internal lottery instead of the AT lottery when the production state is the non-AT state, When the lottery is won, the production state is shifted to the CZ state as shown in FIG. 30, and in the CZ state, whether to shift to the AT state by performing the AT lottery according to the result of the internal lottery is determined. The CZ lottery execution trigger and the AT lottery execution trigger may be the same or different. As an example of a mode for differentiating the CZ lottery execution trigger and the AT lottery execution trigger, the CZ lottery execution trigger is the common bell, watermelon and cherry wins, and the AT lottery execution trigger is the batting order bell and bonus. (RBB or CBB). Regarding the CZ lottery, whether or not to win is determined with reference to a CZ lottery table in which winning or losing is associated with random numbers associated with the common bell, watermelon and cherry in the internal lottery.

  In this mode, a low-probability state with a winning probability of about 1/32, a medium-probability state with a winning probability of about 1/16, and a high-probability state with a winning probability of about 1/8 can be set as a lottery state of the CZ lottery. In the CZ lottery, a CZ lottery table corresponding to the lottery state is referred to. That is, when the lottery state is a high probability state, the CZ lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is a medium probability state is referred to, and the lottery state is a medium probability state. Is referred to the CZ lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than in the case where the lottery state is in the low probability state. In addition, you may make it the winning probability of CZ lottery differ according to the winning aspect in internal lottery. In this case, the winning probability of the CZ lottery is the same in the low probability state, the medium probability state, and the high probability state, or the winning probability of the CZ lottery increases in the order of “low probability state <medium probability state <high probability state”. There may be a winning mode, and if the total number of random numbers assigned to the CZ lottery is in the relationship of “low probability state <medium probability state <high probability state”, winning of the CZ lottery for each winning mode The probability can be arbitrarily determined.

  When the CZ lottery is won, the AT control means 175 sets a predetermined value (for example, 8) corresponding to the number of games (for example, 8) as the end condition in the CZ end determination counter 200, and plays the game in the CZ state. Each time it is performed, a certain value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 200. When the value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition for the CZ state is satisfied and the effect state returns to the non-AT state. On the other hand, also when the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied. In this case, the value of the CZ end determination counter 200 is set to “0”. In addition, after completion of the CZ state, the state shifts to the AT preparation state. In the CZ state, instruction information is displayed at the time of winning the batting order bell and a winning assist effect is performed. However, the instruction information related to the batting order replay and the winning assist effect, the instruction information related to the CBB state, and the winning assist effect are performed. It is supposed not to be broken. That is, the CZ state is a simple AT state.

  In addition, when the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the AT control unit 175 sets the lottery state of the CZ lottery according to the RT state, and the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state. In this case, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is kept in the medium probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is kept in the high probability state.

  Further, the AT control means 175 performs an end lottery for determining whether to end the medium probability state or the high probability state based on the fact that the replay is won when the non-AT state is stayed in the advantageous section. And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the advantageous section starts by winning the CZ lottery in the normal section, and after winning the end lottery in the non-AT state after the end of the CZ state, the advantageous section ends. An initialization process is performed by the initialization unit 177 based on the end.

  Further, in this aspect, in the initialization process, the CZ end determination counter 200 is also initialized, and the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 200 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0 ).

  In this aspect, as shown in FIG. 30, the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value when the AT control means 175 stays in the AT ready state, AT state, or AT end standby state. In this case, as in the case of the above embodiment, the non-AT state is restored by the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section, and the stored value of the clear counter 196 becomes the threshold value in the situation where the CZ state is maintained. Even in the case of reaching the non-AT state by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section.

  Further, in this aspect, each time the game information notification for notifying the game information indicating the correct hitting order is executed by displaying the instruction information when the hitting order bell is won in the CZ state, the game value for one time is stored in the stored value of the notification counter 199. Incremental updating by adding a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of information notification is performed, and game information notification is performed in an advantageous section depending on whether or not the stored value of the notification counter 199 is greater than an initial value (for example, 0). It is determined whether or not it has been executed once.

  In this mode, as shown in FIG. 30, the CZ state is always passed from the non-AT state to the AT state, and the initialization means 177 stays in the normal section as shown in FIG. When the CZ lottery is won, an advantageous section is generated, and the value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold even if the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery. The advantageous section is maintained until the end lottery is won, and the advantageous section is terminated based on the fact that the end lottery is won.

  However, in this aspect as in the above embodiment, when the end lottery is won during the advantageous section until the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the winning lottery is selected from the start of the advantageous section. If the transition to the bonus state (the RBB state or the CBB state) has occurred before or until the game information notification is executed at least once in the advantageous section, the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied. Judgment ends the advantageous section, but if the winning lottery is won in the advantageous section, the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs from the start of the advantageous section to the winning time of the end lottery If the game information notification has not been executed even once in the advantageous section, the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value. A until ends the bonus (RBB or CBB) is advantageously section were allowed to continue until it is executed at least once a game information reported in up or advantageous interval to winning. Specifically, when the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the notification counter 199 along with the shift to the advantageous section, and the game information is notified when the batting order bell is won in the advantageous section. Is executed, or when the gaming state shifts to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) in the advantageous section, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the storage of the notification counter 199 is performed. Whether or not the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs in the advantageous section depending on whether or not the value is an initial value (for example, 0), and whether or not the game information notification is executed once in the advantageous section Determine whether. As a result, even if the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, when the end lottery is won in the advantageous section where the CZ state has stayed, from the start of the advantageous section until the end lottery is won If no transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) has occurred and no game information notification has been executed once in the advantageous section, until the bonus (RBB or CBB) is won Or, in order to continue the game information notification at least once in the advantageous section, it is possible to receive both the profit by executing the game information notification once and the profit by shifting to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state). So that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation where an advantageous section that is advantageous to the player ends without being That. In this mode, 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, there is a case in which the AT lottery is performed to shift to the AT state without passing through the CZ state. May be.

  Also, in this aspect, in the CZ state, a continuous lottery that determines whether or not to continue the CZ state is performed, and when the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, The CZ state may be terminated and the effect state may be returned to the non-AT state. For example, the continuous lottery is performed based on the fact that the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 200 has reached the threshold value, and when the continuous lottery is won, a predetermined value (for example, 8) is reset in the CZ end determination counter 200. The CZ state may be continued, or the lottery is continued until the AT lottery is won or the result of the continuous lottery is lost in the game after the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches the threshold value. May be performed every game, or the continuous lottery may be performed every game in the CZ state without providing the CZ end determination counter 200.

  Also, in this aspect, the winning assist effect is executed so as to guide the RT state to the RT2 state based on winning the CZ lottery, and the effect state is shifted to the CZ state based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state. In the RT2 state, the game is performed in the CZ state. In the CZ state, until the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches the threshold value, the instruction information is displayed at the time of winning the batting order bell, and the winning assist effect is performed. After the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches the threshold value, the RT state has fallen into the non-RT state or the RT1 state so that the instruction information is not displayed at the time of winning the batting order bell and the winning assist effect is not performed. The CZ state may be ended based on (a specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line), or the CZ end determination counter Stored value of the motor 200 may be also terminate the CZ state when the RT state even not reached threshold fell into a non-RT state or RT1 state. In this example, an RT state for the CZ state may be prepared separately, and a game in the CZ state may be performed in the RT state.

  Further, in this aspect, when the value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) in the CZ state and the game information notification is not executed once, the stored value of the clear counter 196 is stored. The CZ state may be terminated after the game information notification is executed at least once or until the AT lottery is won.

  In this aspect, the instruction information is not displayed in the CZ state, and the winning assist effect may not be executed.

  Further, in this aspect, when the CZ state is completed a predetermined number of times (for example, twice or three times) without winning the AT lottery until the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the advantageous section. The advantageous section may be terminated. That is, even if the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the advantageous section may not end until the CZ state is performed a predetermined number of times.

  Further, in this aspect, the advantageous section is started based on winning the CZ lottery, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) without winning the AT lottery in the CZ state. If the value of the CZ end determination counter 200 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) without winning the AT lottery based on the advantageous section, the transition to the bonus state has not occurred, If the game information notification has not been executed even once, until the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, until the bonus (RBB or CBB) is won or the game information notification is performed. You may make it complete | finish an advantageous area, after continuing until it is made to perform once. In this case, the display of the instruction information and the winning assist effect may be executed in the CZ state, or may not be executed.

  In the above embodiment, the instruction information is displayed on the payout display unit PO. However, the instruction information is displayed on the credit display unit CD (another example of the notification device) and the bonus display unit BS (another example of the notification device). In order to display instruction information (game information related to correct hitting order, internal lottery results, etc.) on the credit display unit CD, an instruction is given in place of the medal credit number in response to the game start operation. The information may be displayed on the credit display unit CD, and the credit number of medals may be displayed instead of the instruction information based on the winning determination process being performed.

  A display device (another example of the notification device) for displaying the instruction information is provided separately from the payout display section PO, the credit display section CD, and the bonus display section BS, and the display apparatus is configured by a 7-segment display. The display information is displayed on the display device, and the dot-shaped segment H of the 7-segment display constituting the display device is used as the section display PD to execute the advantageous section notification. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the dot-shaped segment H of the 7-segment display for displaying the lower digits constituting the payout display unit PO is used as the section indicator PD for informing the game section. Using the dot-shaped segment H of the 7-segment display for displaying the upper digits constituting the section PO as the section display PD, the section display PD is turned on in accordance with the transition to the advantageous section, and the advantageous section ends. Thus, the section indicator PD may be turned off as a transition to the normal section. When the advantageous section notification is executed by using a part of the payout display section PO as the section display PD, instruction information (game information relating to the correct answer order and the result of the internal lottery) is also displayed on the payout display section PO. In addition, the instruction information (game information related to the correct hitting order, the result of the internal lottery, etc.) is a device different from the payout display section PO (for example, the credit display section CD, the bonus display section BS, or the instruction information for displaying the instruction information). It may be displayed on a dedicated device or the like.

  Further, for example, when the dot-shaped segment H of any of the seven-segment displays constituting the credit display unit CD is used as the section display PD and the section display PD is turned on, the section display PD is turned on. The period indicator PD may be extinguished because the process ends and the process shifts to the normal period. In this example, as described above, the instruction information (game information related to the correct answer order and the result of the internal lottery) may be displayed on the credit display unit CD, or the instruction information (the correct answer order and the result of the internal lottery, etc.). The game information may be displayed on a device different from the credit display unit CD (for example, a payout display unit PO, a bonus display unit BS, or a dedicated device for displaying instruction information).

  Further, for example, when the dot-shaped segment H of any one of the seven-segment displays constituting the bonus display section BS is used as the section display PD, the section display PD is turned on in accordance with the transition to the advantageous section. The period indicator PD may be extinguished because the process ends and the process shifts to the normal period. In this example, as described above, the instruction information (game information related to the correct answer order and the result of the internal lottery) may be displayed on the bonus display section BS, or the instruction information (the correct answer order and the result of the internal lottery, etc.). The game information may be displayed on a device different from the bonus display unit BS (for example, a payout display unit PO, a credit display unit CD, or a dedicated device for displaying instruction information).

  In the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section is in use by using one 7-segment display that constitutes the payout display section PO. However, a plurality of 7-segment displays are used to stay. For example, the dot-shaped segment H of the 7-segment display for the upper digit display and the lower digit display constituting the payout display section PO is used as the section display PD. Use both and turn on both of the two segments H with the transition to the advantageous section, turn off both of the two segments H with the transition to the normal section, and transition to the internal middle standby section Accordingly, one of the two segments H may be turned on and the other may be turned off. That is, you may make it alert | report the game area which is staying by the combination of lighting / extinction of several segments H. FIG.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was notified whether it was in an advantageous area by lighting / extinguishing of the area indicator PD, it was in advantageous area by the combination of lighting or extinction of the area indicator PD, and blinking. Whether or not the game section that is staying may be notified by a combination of lighting, extinguishing, and blinking of the section display PD, and the blinking pattern of the section display PD is advantageous. Whether or not it is in the section or whether the game section that is staying may be notified, whether or not the section display PD is constituted by an LED, and whether or not the section is in an advantageous section depending on the emission color of the section display PD Or you may make it alert | report the game area which has stayed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the section display PD is turned on after all the reels that are rotating stop and the section is switched to the advantageous section. However, the section display PD is turned on. The timing may be any timing as long as it is between the time of winning the AT lottery and the start of accepting the insertion of the next game medal. For example, the timing of winning the AT lottery, In the winning game, the reel has started steady rotation, the stop operation has been activated, the stop switch of any stop button has been turned on or off, and any reel has stopped. The section indicator P triggered by the winning determination process, the payout control process, or the game state transition control process, etc. It may be caused to light up. If the AT lottery is triggered by replay, the timing of turning on the section display PD is from when the AT lottery is won until the automatic insertion process is performed with the replay winning. Any timing may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the section indicator PD is turned on to notify that it is in the advantageous section along with the transition to the advantageous section, but a predetermined number of games (for example, 32) from the start of the advantageous section. It is also possible to use a non-notification section that does not notify that it is in the advantageous section until the time is exhausted, and to notify that it is in the advantageous section based on the passage of the non-notification section.

  In the above embodiment and the modified examples of FIGS. 29 to 31, even when the non-AT state is staying in the advantageous section, the end lottery is won and the stored value of the notification counter 199 is the initial value (for example, , 0), the game information notification is executed when the replay is won in the CBB state, and when the game information notification is executed, this corresponds to the number of executions of one game information notification from the stored value of the notification counter 199. You may make it perform the decrement update which subtracts a fixed value (for example, 1).

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the game information notification is executed at the time of winning the batting order replay in the normal state in the AT preparation state or the AT state, a constant corresponding to the number of executions of one game information notification from the stored value of the notification counter 199. You may make it perform the decrement update which subtracts a value (for example, 1). Similarly, in the modified examples of FIGS. 29 to 31, in the case of the CZ state, the game information notification for notifying the game information indicating the correct batting order is executed at the time of winning the batting order replay in the normal state, and the game information notification is executed. Alternatively, a decrement update may be performed by subtracting a fixed value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of executions of one game information notification from the stored value of the notification counter 199.

  In the above embodiment, when the game information notification is executed at the time of replay selection in the CBB state in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). Also good. Similarly, in the modified examples of FIGS. 29 to 31, in the CZ state, the game information notification is executed at the time of winning the replay in the CBB state, and when the game information notification is executed, the stored value of the notification counter 199 is set to the initial value. It may be initialized to (for example, 0).

  In the above embodiment and the modified examples of FIGS. 29 to 31, the transition to the bonus state (the RBB state or the CBB state) is performed in the advantageous section depending on whether or not the stored value of the notification counter 199 is an initial value (for example, 0). It is decided whether or not the game information notification is executed once in the advantageous section, but a notification flag is provided instead of the notification counter 199, and a bonus is set in the advantageous section depending on the setting state of the notification flag. It may be determined whether or not the transition to the state (RBB state or CBB state) has occurred and whether or not the game information notification is executed once in the advantageous section. For example, when the game information notification is executed when the batting order bell is won in the advantageous section, or when the gaming state shifts to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) in the advantageous section, the notification flag is set to the ON state. The notification flag is set to the OFF state at the end of the section, and when the notification flag is ON, the transition to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) occurs in the advantageous section or the game information notification is performed in the advantageous section You may make it judge that it was made to perform once.

  In the above embodiment and the modified examples of FIGS. 29 to 31, in the CBB state, the lottery flags for the small roles 1 to 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. In the CBB state, an internal lottery may be performed so that the small combination 1 to the small combination 10 always wins.

  Further, in the above embodiment and the modified examples of FIGS. 29 to 31, the minimum number of times of game information notification when the advantageous section is ended based on the winning of the end lottery is set to 1, but 2, 3, 4 It may be two or more times (N other examples). In this case, when the AT lottery (or CZ lottery) is won in the normal section, a predetermined value (for example, 2, 3, or 4) is set in the notification counter 199 along with the transition to the advantageous section, In the advantageous section, when game information notification is executed at the time of winning the batting order bell, decrement update is performed by subtracting a fixed value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of executions of one game information notification from the stored value of the notification counter 199. When the gaming state shifts to the bonus state (RBB state or CBB state) in the advantageous section, the stored value of the notification counter 199 can be initialized to an initial value (for example, 0).
