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 the present embodiment, a regular big bonus (RBB: an example of a bonus) and a challenge big bonus (CBB) are prepared as bonuses. In the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4, a regular big bonus ( RBB) and Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) are set as the lottery targets. However, in the internal lottery table 5 to the internal lottery table 10, both the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are excluded from the lottery targets. Has been.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, if the setting values are different, the correspondence between the combination and the random number value in at least one type of lottery table among the ten types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 10). The relationship is different.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the RBB establishment state, the RBB state (an example of a bonus state), and the CBB state can be set as the gaming state, and the RT state (replay lottery state) is non-RT. The state, RT1 state, RT2 state, and RT3 state can be set. In the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery tables 1 to 3 are set according to the set value, game state, and RT state stored in the set value storage unit 197. The winning probability of the combination is adjusted by selecting any one of the lottery tables 10 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 in the RBB state, and when medals exceeding a predetermined scheduled end payout number (for example, 300) are 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 CBB state, and when a medal exceeding a predetermined scheduled payout number (for example, 13) 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-game combination is won in the first game, a second game can be performed, and an end condition is satisfied when a 14-game combination is won in the first game. The second game cannot be played. In other words, in the CBB state, when the replay is won in the first game, an opportunity to win the 13-piece combination can be obtained, and if the 13-piece combination can be won, the 13-piece combination cannot be won. You can get more medals than you would.

  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 is determined based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 (an example of the first specific counter). Control is performed to determine whether or not the end condition is satisfied and to end the AT state when the end condition for the AT state is satisfied. 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. In addition, when a replay is won in the first game in the CBB state, a specific batting order is notified so that the second batting can be performed and the 13 small roles (small role 9) are awarded. In the second game in the CBB state, a winning auxiliary assisting effect is performed to assist the winning of 14 small roles (small role 10), and the game stays in the non-AT state. It is now possible to play games that make it easier to win medals.

  Then, when the gaming state is the normal state and the performance state is the non-AT state or the AT end standby state, the AT control means 175 performs common bell, watermelon, cherry, regular big bonus (RBB), challenge in the internal lottery. Based on the fact that one of the big bonuses (CBB) is won, an AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift the production state to the AT state. 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 addition, when winning the AT lottery based on the regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB), the winning information of the AT lottery is held until the end of the RBB state or the CBB state, and the RBB state or the CBB state is When the game state ends and the game state returns to the normal state, the effect state is set to the AT ready state, and the state is shifted to the AT state via the AT ready state.

  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 is shifted to the CBB state, only the first game is subject to decrement updating, and the second game is not subject to decrement updating. It has become. That is, in the AT state, only one game is counted regardless of whether the CBB state is finished by one game or two 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.

  In this 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.

  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 addition, we won the AT lottery based on the regular big bonus (RBB) win, but if the bonus is not won and the bonus win state is carried over, it will be shifted to the advantageous zone via the internal standby zone . That is, in the present embodiment, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end standby state can be set in the advantageous zone, and cannot be set in the normal zone and the internal middle standby zone. However, the AT ready state can be set even when shifting to the advantageous section in the normal section. In the normal section, the vehicle stays in a non-AT state.

  In this embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 196 (an example of the second specific counter) in the game won in the AT lottery in the normal section, and one game is performed in the advantageous section. Each time the increment value is updated by adding a fixed value (for example, 1) to the stored value of the clear counter 196, the advantageous interval ends based on the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaching a threshold value (for example, 1501). The condition is established. 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. Once the advantageous section is started, the clear counter 196 is continuously updated regardless of changes in the performance state, the gaming state, and the RT state unless the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. The clear counter 196 is updated even if a transition to each production state such as the preparation state occurs. If you win the AT lottery at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB), but the bonus does not win and you move to the advantageous zone through the internal standby zone, The clear counter 196 is not updated, and the clear counter 196 is updated when the advantageous section starts. If the result of the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB) is lost (unsuccessful), even if the bonus is won, the player is allowed to stay in the normal section without shifting to the advantageous section. In addition, if the result of AT lottery performed at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB) is lost (unqualified), even if the regular big bonus (RBB) is not won in the game, Stay in the normal section without shifting. The Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is always won in the winning game, but if the result of the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is lost (unqualified) Even if the bonus is won, the player stays in the normal section without shifting to the advantageous section.

  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 RBB state or the CBB state is staying, the RBB state or the CBB state continues after the initialization process, and the RT3 state is stayed When the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the RT3 state remains even after the initialization process.

  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 Note that the clear counter 195 may be initialized in the initialization process.

  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 advantage section is terminated based on the fact that the end lottery is won after the end of the AT state, and the normal section is transferred to the end of the advantage section. The initialization process is executed in accordance with the transition to the normal section.

  The game information calculation means 178 is a continuous role that is a ratio of an advantageous section stay ratio which is a ratio of the number of games of the advantageous section to the total number of games, and a total number of medals paid out in the RBB state with respect to a total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. An object ratio, which is a ratio of the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state or the CBB state to the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, is calculated. In particular, in the present embodiment, with respect to the continuous character ratio and the character ratio, a value at 6000 games and a value at the total game frequency are calculated.

  First, a method for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section are tabulated as data for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the storage unit 190 includes a total game number counter 203 (an example of a first counter) that stores the total number of games, and an advantageous section game number counter that stores the number of games in the advantageous section. 204 (an example of a second counter), and these counters are configured by storage areas of 3B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board.

  Then, the game information calculation means 178 performs an increment update that adds a fixed value (for example, “1”) corresponding to one game to the stored value of the total game number counter 203 every time a game is played. . In this embodiment, when a game is performed, the total game number counter 203 is updated regardless of the game section, the game state, the effect state, and the RT state. On the other hand, regarding the advantageous section game number counter 204, only in the case of an advantageous section, every time a game is played, the stored value of the advantageous section game number counter 204 is a constant value corresponding to one game. Incremental update to add “1” is performed. Note that the update of the advantageous section game number counter 204 is started from the next game of the game won in the AT lottery in the normal section (the game in which the process of shifting to the advantageous section has been performed). However, if you win the AT lottery based on the regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) win, the game from which the bonus was won (the game where the transition process to the advantageous section was performed) Be started.

  Then, the game information calculation means 178 determines “(A2 × 100) based on the total number of games A1 stored in the total number of games counter 203 and the number of games A2 in the advantageous section stored in the advantageous section game number counter 204. / A1 "is calculated to calculate the advantageous section stay ratio (%), and the calculated advantageous section stay ratio is stored in a predetermined storage area of the game information storage means 202.

  Subsequently, a method for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio will be described. In this embodiment, the number of payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine as data for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio, The number of consecutive payouts in medals, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state, and the number of payouts in the ward, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state or CBB state, are totaled. Further, in the present embodiment, as the data for calculating the consecutive character ratio and the character ratio in the game 6000 times, the above three types in the game 400 times that are the number of games for one set out of the game 6000 times divided into 15 parts. While totaling the number of medals paid out, 400 games is set as one set, and the number of payouts of the three types of medals for 15 sets is individually counted for each set.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the storage unit 190 stores a total of 400 games for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in a consecutive feature, and the number of payouts in a feature, and a 400-times cumulative storage unit 198. And 15 sets of individual storage means 199 for individually storing 15 sets of data for each set, with 400 games as one set for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in consecutive features, and the number of payouts in features A 15-set cumulative storage means 200 for storing a total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in consecutive features, and the number of payouts in features, Are provided with total cumulative storage means 201 for storing the total cumulative total.

  Also, the 400-times cumulative storage means 198 stores a 400-times cumulative first counter 198a that stores the total of 400 games of the number of payouts, and a 400-times cumulative second counter 198b that stores the total of 400 games of the number of payouts in the continuous role. , And a 400-th cumulative third counter 198c that stores a total of 400 games of the number of payouts in the role, and these counters are configured by storage areas of 2B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board. ing.

  When the medals are paid out, the game information calculating unit 178 has a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the first counter 198a accumulated for 400 times (for example, a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one piece). “1”) is added. In the present embodiment, when a medal is paid out, a process of updating the stored value of the first cumulative counter 198a 400 times is performed regardless of the game section, the game state, the effect state, and the RT state. On the other hand, regarding the 400-th cumulative second counter 198b, only when the gaming state is the RBB state, if medals are paid out, this corresponds to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400-th cumulative second counter 198b. When the gaming state is the RBB state or the CBB state with respect to the third counter 198c accumulated for 400 times, for example, a value is added. For example, when a medal is paid out, a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative third counter 198c (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the payout number of one medal) is obtained. Processing to add is performed.

  It should be noted that the data stored in the 400 total storage means 198 is transferred to the 15-set individual storage means 199 every 400 games played, and is initialized after the data in the total storage means 201 is updated. In this way, the 400 times accumulation storage means 198 stores the accumulation of 400 games. Here, whether or not 400 games have been played may be determined based on the stored value of the total game number counter 203, or a counter that counts 400 games is provided separately from the total game number counter 203. You may do it.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the 15-set individual storage unit 199 sets one set of data for 15 sets, with 400 games as one set for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in consecutive works and the number of payouts in work Each storage area has 15 2B (byte) areas preset in the RAM of the main board for each payout amount, and each storage area has 400 games (1 set). Accumulated data is stored, 15 storage areas for individually storing 15 sets of individual totals for each set regarding the number of payouts, and 15 sets of individual totals for each set regarding the number of payouts in consecutive features Each of the 15 storage areas to be stored individually and the 15 storage areas to individually store 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set regarding the number of payable items in Stores data sequentially from the head region are configured as a ring buffer to initially back storage When you come to the end of the storage area. For this reason, for example, when storing the 16th set of data in the state where the 15th set individual storage means 199 stores the data from the 1st to the 15th set, the storage area storing the first set of data is used. The 16th set of data is overwritten, whereby the latest data is overwritten and stored on the data stored first.

  Further, the 15-set cumulative storage means 200 stores each 3B (preliminarily set in the RAM of the main board as a storage area for storing a total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in the consecutive works, and the number of payouts in the work. The total cumulative storage means 201 includes a total cumulative first counter 201a that stores the total cumulative number of payouts, a total cumulative second counter 201b that stores the total cumulative payout numbers in consecutive features, and a combination A total cumulative third counter 201c that stores the total cumulative number of items paid out is provided, and these counters are configured by storage areas of 3B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board.

  The game information calculation unit 178 then plays the game 400 relating to each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in the consecutive feature, and the number of payouts in the feature each time 400 games are played. The 15 times of accumulated data (the stored values of the 400 times accumulated first counter 198a, the 400 times accumulated second counter 198b, and the 400 times accumulated third counter 198c) are transferred to and stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 199.

  Further, the game information calculation means 178 updates 15 sets of totals and totals for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in consecutive works, and the number of payouts in work every time 400 games are played. Specifically, when the latest data is stored in the 15-set individual storage unit 199, the game information calculation unit 178 stores the total number of payouts for 15 sets stored in the 15-set individual storage unit 199, 15 The sum total of the number of payouts in consecutive features for the set and the sum total of the number of payouts in the feature for 15 sets are calculated, and the calculated total of 15 sets is overwritten in a predetermined storage area of the 15-set total storage means 200. Remember.

  Further, when the latest data is stored in the 15-set individual storage unit 199, the game information calculation unit 178 stores the stored value of the first total counter 198a 400 times in the stored value of the total first counter 201a of the total total storage unit 201. Is added to the stored value of the total cumulative second counter 201b, and the stored value of the 400th cumulative second counter 198b is added, and the stored value of the 400th cumulative third counter 198c is added to the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 201c. Perform the process. In this way, the total cumulative storage unit 201 accumulates and counts the number of payouts, the number of payouts in consecutive features, and the number of payouts in features, and updates the total sum every time 400 games are played. In this embodiment, the total cumulative number is not limited to updating every 400 games, and the total cumulative number may be updated every time a medal is paid out. The cumulative first counter 201a is updated every time a medal is paid out. The total cumulative second counter 201b is updated every time a medal is paid out only when the gaming state is the RBB state. The cumulative third counter 201c may be updated every time a medal is paid out only when the gaming state is the RBB state or the CBB state.

  Then, the game information calculation means 178 calculates “(B 2 × 100 ) / B1 "to calculate the continuous combination ratio (%) in the game 6000 times, and 15 sets of total B1 of the number of payouts stored in the 15 sets total storage means 200 and Based on the accumulated B3 of the 15 sets of payouts, a calculation of “(B3 × 100) / B1” is performed to calculate a bonus rate (%) in 6000 games, and the calculated consecutive bonus rate and The accessory ratio is overwritten and stored in a predetermined storage area of the game information storage means 202.

  Further, the game information calculation means 178 is based on the total cumulative number C1 of the number of payouts stored in the total cumulative first counter 201a and the total cumulative number C2 of the number of payouts in continuous equipment stored in the total cumulative second counter 201b. , A process of calculating a continuous character ratio (%) in the total number of games by performing an operation of “(C2 × 100) / C1,” and a total cumulative C1 of the number of payouts stored in the total cumulative first counter 201a and Based on the total cumulative C3 of the number of payable items in the total accumulated third counter 201c, the calculation of “(C3 × 100) / C1” is performed to calculate the proportion (%) of the total number of games. Then, the calculated consecutive combination ratio and combination ratio are overwritten and stored in a predetermined storage area of the game information storage unit 202.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the processing for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio, the consecutive character ratio, and the character ratio is performed by performing a next game after the winning determination process is performed and the game result is determined. This is performed based on the pressing of the setting change button until it is set to the throwing state (non-game). As described above, in this embodiment, in order to operate the setting change button, the lower front door DD needs to be opened. When the lower front door DD is opened with the power on, the lower front door DD is opened by the door sensor 270. When the opening of the door DD is detected), the gaming machine is controlled to the error state, and the error type is set to the door opening error on condition that no error other than the door opening error has occurred. In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in addition to a door opening error due to the opening of the lower front door DD, a hopper empty error due to the absence of medals in the hopper unit 320 and a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot MI are detected as errors. There is a selector error due to clogged medals in the selector (not shown), and other errors are given priority over the door opening error, and multiple types of errors including door opening errors occur. If the error is not solved, the door opening error is not set unless other errors are resolved. In this embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio and the like are calculated based on the fact that the setting change button is pressed when the game is not playing and the error type is set to the door opening error in the error state. In the present embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio may be calculated every time a game is played, and the continuous game ratio and the game ratio in the total number of games 6000 times or 400 games are 400 games. You may make it calculate every time it is performed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the 400-times cumulative storage means 198 is initialized every 400 games played, but data is held without being initialized at other times. For example, the data is held without being initialized depending on the start or end of the RBB state or the CBB state, or the start or end of the advantageous section. Further, the 15-set individual cumulative storage means 19, the 15-cumulative cumulative storage means 200, the total cumulative storage means 201, the game information storage means 202, the total game number counter 203, and the advantageous section game number counter 204 are initial in any situation. Data is always retained without being converted to the default, for example, it is initialized when any trigger occurs including the start or end of the RBB state or the CBB state, or the start or end of the advantageous section. Instead, the data is retained.

  Further, the 400-times cumulative storage means 198, the 15-set individual cumulative storage means 19, the 15-set cumulative storage means 200, the total cumulative storage means 201, the game information storage means 202, the total game number counter 203, and the advantageous section game number counter 204 are Data is retained without being initialized by an operation on the operating means provided in the gaming machine. For example, even when a set value is changed, the data is retained without being initialized, and is initialized even when the power is turned ON / OFF. The data is held without being converted. Therefore, the 3B (byte) total cumulative first counter 201a, the total cumulative second counter 201b, or the total cumulative third counter 201c of the total cumulative storage means 201, or the 3B (byte) total game number counter 203 or advantageous section game. A situation may occur in which the stored value of the number counter 204 reaches the upper limit value, but when the stored value of a predetermined counter among these counters reaches the upper limit value, the count is stopped. Specifically, the counter that reaches the upper limit first among the three types of counters of the total cumulative storage means 201 is the total cumulative first counter 201a that counts the number of payouts, so that the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 201a is When the upper limit is reached, the updating of the total cumulative first counter 201a, the total cumulative second counter 201b, and the total cumulative third counter 201c is stopped, and the first of the total game number counter 203 and the advantageous section game number counter 204 is first Since the counter that reaches the upper limit is the total game number counter 203 that counts the number of games, when the stored value of the total game number counter 203 reaches the upper limit value, the total game number counter 203 and the advantageous section game number counter 204 Stop updating.

  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.

  1-2. Method of this embodiment

  Hereinafter, the method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the payout control process related to the payout of medals will be described. As shown in FIG. 19, in this process, “1” (a constant value corresponding to one game) is added to the stored value of the total game number counter 203. An update is performed (step S100), and if it is an advantageous section (Y in step S101), an increment that adds “1” (a constant value corresponding to one game) to the stored value of the advantageous section game number counter 204 Update is performed (step S102).

  Then, when medals are paid out in accordance with the winning of the small role (Y in step S103), a process of adding a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative first counter 198a is performed. In step S104, when the state is the RBB state or the CBB state (Y in step S105), a process of adding a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative third counter 198c is performed. (Step S106) In the RBB state (Y in Step S107), a process of adding a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative second counter 198b is performed (Step S108). .

  Then, it is determined whether or not 400 games have elapsed (step S109). When 400 games have elapsed (Y in step S109), the 15-set individual storage means 199 configured as a ring buffer accumulates 400 times. The stored values of the first counter 198a, the 400th cumulative second counter 198b, and the 400th cumulative third counter 198c are transferred and stored (step S110).

  Then, the 15 sets and totals are updated (step S111). Specifically, the total of the number of payouts for 15 sets, the sum of the number of payouts for 15 consecutive items, and the number of payouts for 15 sets of items stored in the 15-set individual storage unit 199 are stored. The total is calculated, and the calculated 15 sets are stored in the 15 sets total storage means 200. Further, the stored value of the 400-th cumulative first counter 198a is added to the stored value of the total-cumulative first counter 201a of the total-cumulative storage means 201, and the stored value of the 400-cumulative second counter 198b is added to the stored value of the total-cumulative second counter 201b. The value is added, and the stored value of the accumulated third counter 198c is added 400 times to the stored value of the accumulated total third counter 201c. When the 15-cumulative total and the total cumulative are updated, the stored values of the 400-th cumulative first counter 198a, the 400-th total second counter 198b, and the 400-th total third counter 198c are initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). It becomes.

  Subsequently, in-error processing performed in the error state will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in this processing, when the setting change button is pressed (Y in step S200), the error type is a door opening error, and When a non-game is in progress (Y in step S201, Y in step S202), the stay ratio (%) of the advantageous section, the continuous character ratio (%) and the character ratio (%) in 6000 games or the total number of games It is calculated and stored in the game information storage means 202 (step S203).

  When the advantageous section stay ratio and the like are calculated, numerical values such as the calculated advantageous section stay ratio are sequentially displayed on the payout display section PO. Hereinafter, the display of the advantageous section stay ratio and the like will be described.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, “U7” is used as an identification symbol indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, “y6” is used as an identification symbol indicating the consecutive character ratio in 6000 games, and a character ratio in 6000 games. “Y7” is set in advance as an identification symbol indicating “A6”, “A6” is set as an identification symbol indicating the ratio of consecutive actors in the total number of games, and “A7” is set in advance as an identification symbol indicating the ratio in the total number of games.

  In this embodiment, the display control means 179 displays an identification symbol corresponding to the display of the payout display portion PO when the numerical value such as the calculated advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the payout display portion PO. By displaying on the CD, it is made clear whether the display of the payout display section PO is an advantageous section stay ratio, a continuous character ratio or a character ratio in 6000 games or the total number of games.

  Hereinafter, a case where the number of credits of medals is 50, and 8 small roles are won and 8 medals are paid out will be described as an example.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, “50” is displayed as the credit number of medals on the credit display section CD during non-game, and “8” is displayed as the number of medals paid out on the payout display section PO. When the lower front door DD is opened while the “” is displayed, the gaming machine is controlled to an error state and the error type is set to the door open error on condition that no error other than the door open error has occurred. As shown in FIG. 22 (D), “dE”, which is an identification symbol indicating the door opening error (identification symbol indicating the type of error), is displayed in place of the medal payout number in the payout display portion PO. . At this time, as shown in FIG. 22C, the display of the credit display portion CD is maintained.

  When the setting change button is pressed, the advantageous section stay ratio and the like are calculated and stored in the game information storage means 202. When the advantageous section stay ratio and the like are calculated, as shown in FIG. In the display unit CD, an identification symbol “U7” indicating the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed instead of the medal credit number, and as shown in FIG. 22 (F), an identification symbol indicating a door opening error in the payout display unit PO. Instead of “dE”, the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed. The example shown in FIG. 22F is an example in which a numerical value of “70” is displayed as the advantageous section stay ratio (%), and indicates that the advantageous section stay ratio is 70%. As described above, in the present embodiment, based on the fact that the error state based on the opening of the lower front door DD is controlled, the identification symbol “dE” indicating the door opening error is displayed on the dispensing display unit PO, and the lower front door is displayed. In the error state based on the opening of DD (an example of a predetermined condition), based on the operation performed on the setting change button, the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the payout display section PO.

  Further, when the identification symbol display and numerical display of the advantageous section stay ratio are started, the measurement of the display time (for example, 5 seconds) is started, and when the display time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed, FIG. As shown in the figure, an identification symbol “y6” indicating a continuous feature ratio in 6000 games is displayed in place of the identification symbol “U7” indicating the advantageous section stay ratio in the credit display section CD, and FIG. 22 (H). As shown in FIG. 4, the payout display section PO displays the value of the consecutive character ratio in the game 6000 times instead of the value of the advantageous section stay ratio. The example shown in FIG. 22 (H) is an example in which a numerical value of “60” is displayed as the continuous character ratio (%) in the game 6000 times, and the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times is 60%. It is shown that.

  Further, when the identification symbol display and numerical display of the consecutive character ratio in the game 6000 times are started, the measurement of the display time (for example, 5 seconds) is started, and when the display time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses, FIG. As shown in (I), in the credit display section CD, an identification symbol “y7” indicating a bonus rate at 6000 games is displayed instead of an identification symbol “y6” indicating a continuous bonus rate at 6000 games. As shown in FIG. 22 (J), in the payout display portion PO, the numerical value of the bonus rate at 6000 games is displayed instead of the numeric value of the continuous bonus rate at 6000 games. Note that the example shown in FIG. 22 (J) is an example in which a numerical value of “70” is displayed as a percentage (%) of an accessory at 6000 games, and the accessory ratio at 6000 games is 70%. It is shown that.

  Further, when the identification symbol display and numerical display of the bonus rate in 6000 games are started, the display time (for example, 5 seconds) is started, and when the display time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed, FIG. K) In the credit display section CD, an identification symbol “A6” indicating the consecutive character ratio in the total number of games is displayed instead of the identification symbol “y7” indicating the character ratio in the game 6000 times, and As shown in FIG. 22 (L), in the payout display portion PO, the numerical value of the continuous character ratio in the total number of games is displayed instead of the numerical value of the character ratio in the game 6000 times. The example shown in FIG. 22 (L) is an example in which a numerical value of “60” is displayed as the continuous character ratio (%) in the total number of games, and the continuous character ratio in the total number of games is 60%. It is shown that.

  When the identification symbol display and numerical display of the consecutive character ratio in the total number of games are started, the display time (for example, 5 seconds) is started, and when the display time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses, FIG. As shown in (M), in the credit display section CD, an identification symbol “A7” indicating the proportion of the total number of games is displayed instead of the identification symbol “A6” indicating the continuous proportion of the total number of games. As shown in FIG. 22 (N), in the payout display section PO, the value of the character ratio in the total number of games is displayed instead of the value of the continuous character ratio in the total number of games. Note that the example shown in FIG. 22 (N) is an example in which a numerical value of “70” is displayed as an accessory ratio (%) in the total number of games, and the accessory ratio in the total number of games is 70%. It is shown that.

  Further, when the identification symbol display and numerical display of the ratio of the objects in the total number of games are started, the display time (for example, 5 seconds) is started, and when the display time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed, FIG. As shown in E) and (F), the identification symbol display and numerical display of the advantageous section stay ratio are started again, and thereafter, every time the display time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses in the same manner as described above, FIG. The display of the credit display part CD and the payout display part PO is switched in the order shown in FIG.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the identification symbol and the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in 6000 games, and the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the total number of games are cyclically displayed. When the lower front door DD is closed during the period, the credit display unit CD displays the number of credits of the medal instead of the current display as shown in FIG. 22 (O), and FIG. 22 (P). As shown in FIG. 4, the present display is replaced with an identification symbol “dE” indicating a door opening error in the payout display section PO. When the error state is canceled by a reset switch (not shown), as shown in FIG. 22 (R), the number of medals paid out is displayed on the payout display section PO instead of the identification symbol “dE” indicating a door opening error. . Thus, the original state is restored.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the normal section, and the shift to the advantageous section is made based on the winning of the AT lottery, and the AT state is kept in the advantageous section. In the advantageous section, the clear counter 196 is updated and the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, and the end lottery is won even if the stored value of the clear counter 196 does not reach the threshold value. However, if the production state is the AT state at the end of the advantageous section, the AT condition end condition based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is not satisfied. However, since the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process that initializes the performance state to the non-AT state, the amount of medals that can be obtained in assist time games (games in the AT state) is limited. Can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, only in the case of an advantageous section, the AT state is kept and the shooting process is suppressed by the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section. However, the advantageous section stay ratio should be set high. It is possible to increase the stay period of the AT state as much as possible, and this may result in improving the shooting performance. Therefore, it is desired to keep the ratio of staying in the advantageous section within a certain range, which is advantageous in this embodiment. The section stay ratio is designed to be a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%) or less. In the specification as in the present embodiment, for example, when a medal is acquired in the AT state by an illegal act such as an AT lottery or an additional lottery execution opportunity by winning an illegal method, an advantageous section stay ratio Is expected to exceed a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%), and from the viewpoint of fraud prevention, the gaming machine itself counts the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section and monitors the advantageous section stay ratio. According to the present embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio can be monitored because the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated by adding up the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section. It becomes like this.

  In the present embodiment, when the lower front door DD is opened and the setting change button is pressed during non-game, the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated, and the calculated advantageous section stay ratio is calculated as 6000 games. In order to sequentially display on the payout display section PO, the value of the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the game, and the value of the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the total number of games are displayed on the payout display section PO. By pressing the change button, the store clerk of the game shop, etc., the actual value of the advantageous section stay ratio, the actual value of the consecutive character ratio and the character ratio in the game 6000 times, the continuous character ratio and the character in the total number of games The actual value of the ratio can be confirmed, for example, if the actual value of the stay ratio of the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%) It is possible to determine that there is. In addition, it is desired to keep the ratio of the consecutive actors and the ratio of the actors within a certain range. In the present embodiment, the ratio of the consecutive actors is not more than a predetermined upper limit (for example, 60%). Since the bonus rate is designed to be equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 70%), the actual value of the continuous bonus rate in 6000 games or the total number of games is determined in advance. When the upper limit value (for example, 60%) exceeds the upper limit value (for example, 70%) or when the actual value of the ratio of objects in the number of games 6000 or the total number of games exceeds a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 70%) It is possible to determine that there is a possibility that fraudulent activity has been performed.

  In the present embodiment, the 400-time cumulative storage means 198, the 15-set individual cumulative storage means 19, the 15-set cumulative storage means 200, the total cumulative storage means 201, the game information storage means 202, the total game number counter 203, and the advantageous section game The number counter 204 is not initialized by an operation on the operation means provided in the gaming machine, and the data is retained. Even when the set value is changed, the data is retained without being initialized, and the power is turned on / off. The data is retained without being initialized even if the set value is changed or the power is turned ON / OFF. Can count the number of payouts, and the number of payouts in the work, and aggregate enough data to converge the advantageous section stay ratio, continuous service ratio, and service ratio It becomes possible way.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts in the consecutive feature, and the number of payouts in the feature, one set of 400 games and the total of 15 sets of data are totaled to obtain a continuous role in 6000 games. Although the object ratio and the accessory ratio are calculated, the 15-set individual storage means 199 for storing 15 sets of data is used as a ring buffer configuration so that the latest data is overwritten and stored in the first stored data. The data for the latest 15 sets can be stored individually for each set, and the consecutive character ratio and the character ratio in the latest game 6000 can be calculated.

  In this embodiment, an identification symbol and a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio are provided using a payout display section PO that displays the number of medals paid out and a credit display section CD that displays the number of credits of medals. Therefore, it is not necessary to newly provide a device for displaying an identification symbol such as an advantageous section stay ratio and a numerical value, and an increase in the number of gaming machine devices can be suppressed.

  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.

  In the present embodiment, an identification symbol such as an advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the credit display section CD, and a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the payout display section PO, but the credit display section CD (display An example of the device), a bonus display unit BS (an example of a display device), and a display unit PO, and any two display devices are used to display an identification symbol and a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio. Alternatively, for example, an identification symbol such as an advantageous section stay ratio may be displayed on the payout display section PO, and a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio may be displayed on the credit display section CD.

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, the advantageous section stay ratio, the consecutive character ratio and the character ratio in 6000 games, and the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the total number of games are displayed on the payout display part PO or the credit display part PO. However, a dedicated display device (another example of a display device) may be provided. For example, a dedicated display device may be provided on the main board among the control boards including the main board and the sub board. Although not specifically mentioned in the above embodiment, the main board and the sub board are not connected to the main board. The unidirectional communication from the board to the sub-board is possible, and the sub-board is configured to be communicably connected so that a signal cannot be transmitted to the main board. Various means other than means 205 and sub lottery table storage means 206 and counters are provided, such as medal insertion switch 210, bet switch 220, start switch 230, stop switch 240, setting key switch 250, setting change switch 260, door sensor 270, etc. Various performances for executing a game in response to an input signal from the input means. And the operation control of the output means such as the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, the game information display device 327, etc. is controlled based on the calculation result, and the progress of the game is controlled. 180, various data storage means 205, sub lottery table storage means 206, etc., and various operations for receiving a signal sent from the main board and executing effects according to the progress of the game. And controlling the operation of output means such as the display device 330 and the acoustic device 340 based on the calculation result. As shown in FIG. 24, the main board is housed in a transparent board case 350 and arranged on the upper part of the reel unit in the housing. The setting key switch 250 and the setting change button 280 of the above embodiment are provided on the front surface of the power supply unit 290 provided in the housing. In this example, a dedicated display device 360 for displaying an advantageous section stay ratio and the like is constituted by a 7-segment display capable of displaying a 4-digit number, and the 7-segment display is provided on a main board. The substrate case in which the substrate is stored is installed in the housing so that numbers, characters, and the like displayed on the 7-segment display installed on the main substrate can be viewed from the front. The upper two digits of the 7-segment display are used as a display area for displaying an identification symbol such as an advantageous section stay ratio, and the lower two digits are used as a display area for displaying a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio. Similarly, each time the display time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses, the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in 6000 games, and the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the total number of games, respectively. You may make it display an identification symbol and a numerical value cyclically. In this example, the setting key switch 250 and the setting change button 280 may also be provided on the main board. Also, in this example, not the operation of the setting change button 280 but the display of the identification symbol such as the advantageous section stay ratio and the numerical value is started based on the power being turned on, and the advantageous section stay ratio until the power is turned off. It is also possible to continuously display such identification symbols and numerical values such as.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the identification symbol and numerical value of each of the advantageous part stay ratio, the continuous character ratio and character ratio in 6000 games, and the continuous character ratio and character ratio in the total number of games are displayed cyclically. However, you may make it display only an advantageous section stay ratio. For example, when the setting change button is pressed in an error state based on the opening of the lower front door DD that is not playing, the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio is replaced with the identification symbol “dE” indicating the door opening error in the payout display section PO. When the setting change button in the pressed state is released, an identification symbol “dE” indicating a door opening error may be displayed in the payout display section PO instead of the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio. Further, for example, when the setting change button is pressed in an error state based on the opening of the lower front door DD during non-game, the value of the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the credit display unit PO instead of the number of credits of medals. When the setting change button in the state is released, the credit number of medals may be displayed in the credit display section PO instead of the value of the advantageous section stay ratio.

  In the above embodiment, the display of the advantageous section stay ratio and the like is switched over time. However, the display may be switched by an operation on a predetermined operation means (for example, the setting change button 280 or the start lever SL). For example, in the first embodiment, each time an operation is performed on a predetermined operation means, the display may be switched in order from the identification symbol and numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio in the order shown in FIG. In the second embodiment, every time an operation is performed on a predetermined operation unit, the display may be switched in order from the identification symbol of the advantageous section stay ratio in the order shown in FIG.

  In the above embodiment, when the setting change button is pressed in the error state based on the opening of the lower front door DD during non-game, the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated, but the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated. The trigger is not limited to the operation of the setting change button. For example, in an error state based on the opening of the lower front door DD during non-game, the start lever SL (another example of the predetermined operation means), stop buttons B1 to B1 Operation of B3 (another example of the predetermined operation means), bet button B0 (another example of the predetermined operation means), or an adjustment button (another example of the predetermined operation means) for paying out a credited medal An advantageous section stay ratio or the like may be calculated based on the above.

  In the above embodiment, if the total number of games is less than 6000 when displaying the consecutive character ratio or the character ratio in 6000 games, the identification symbol “ You may make it alert | report that the number of games has not reached 6000 times by blinking and displaying the identification symbol "y7" which shows the continuous character ratio in y6 "or 6000 games.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the advantageous section stay ratio, or the continuous character ratio or the character ratio in the total number of games is displayed, the total number of games is less than a predetermined number (for example, 175,000 times) (the advantageous section stay). If the ratio and the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the amount of data sufficient to converge the character ratio are not aggregated), the identification symbol “U7” indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, the total number of games Alternatively, the identification symbol “A6” indicating the consecutive character ratio or the identification symbol “A7” indicating the character ratio in the total number of games may be blinked.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the advantageous section stay ratio calculated when displaying the advantageous section stay ratio is more than a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%), the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio blinks. You may make it make it. Similarly, in the case of displaying the consecutive character ratio in the game 6000 times or the total number of games, when the calculated continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times is equal to or higher than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 60%). The numerical value of the consecutive character ratio in the game 6000 times may be blinked and displayed when the calculated continuous character ratio in the total number of games is equal to or higher than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 60%). May blink the numerical value of the continuous character ratio in the total number of games. Similarly, in the case of displaying the bonus rate in the game 6000 times or the total number of games, if the calculated bonus rate in the game 6000 times is equal to or higher than a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%), the game You may make it blink the display of the numerical value of the hero game ratio in 6000 times, and when the calculated hero game ratio in the total number of games is more than a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%), the total game You may make it make the numerical value of the accessory ratio in the frequency | count blink. Here, in the above embodiment, in order to display a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio, etc., a value obtained by rounding down the decimal point is displayed. For example, 70% (upper limit value) is displayed as the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio. In some cases, the actually calculated advantageous section stay ratio may exceed 70%, so it is advantageous if the calculated advantageous section stay ratio is greater than or equal to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%). You may make it make the numerical value of a section stay ratio blink. In addition, in order to display a numerical value obtained by rounding off the decimal point in the same manner for the consecutive character ratio and the character ratio in 6000 games or the total number of games, if the calculated value is greater than or equal to a predetermined upper limit value, May be displayed blinking. Furthermore, it is not limited to the case where the calculated value is greater than or equal to a predetermined upper limit value, and when the calculated value exceeds a predetermined upper limit value, a numerical value may be blinked. If the calculated advantageous section stay ratio exceeds a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 70%), the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio may be blinked.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiment, the RAM of the main board has a capacity of 1024 B (bytes), and 512 B (bytes) of the total capacity is necessary for executing a program related to the progress of the game. It is used to temporarily store various data. For this reason, when the number of games, the number of payouts, etc. are totaled in order to calculate the advantageous section stay ratio etc. as in the above embodiment, the remaining 512B (bytes) of unused areas are various data such as the number of games, the number of payouts, etc. May be used as an area for temporarily storing. If there is no unused area, a separate RAM may be provided on the main board, or various data such as the number of games and the number of payouts for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio etc. in the used area may be stored. It may be. When there is no unused area, there is a possibility that the RAM capacity will be insufficient when it is configured to store various data such as the number of games and the number of payouts for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio etc. in the used area. Therefore, 15 sets of individual storage means 199 having a ring buffer configuration, the number of games of one set is M times (= game 6000 times / N (N is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12)) N sets of data may be stored to reduce the capacity required for the ring buffer.

  In the above embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are provided as bonuses, but the regular bonus (RB), the challenge bonus (CB), and the single bonus (SB) are provided as bonuses. Also good. Further, in the above embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) is a regular bonus (RB) that operates continuously regardless of the symbol combination indicating the regular bonus (RB) winning pattern, and the challenge big bonus (CBB). Although the challenge bonus (CB) operates continuously regardless of the display of the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the challenge bonus (CB), the regular bonus (RB) is included in the bonus as a regular big bonus (RBB). ) And a second regular big bonus (RBB2) that activates the regular bonus (RB) when the symbol combination indicating the regular bonus (RB) winning pattern is displayed, or a challenge big bonus (CBB) Charen during the bonus Bonus (CB) may be provided a second challenge big bonus operating (CBb2) is the symbol combination indicating the winning form of lottery to challenge bonus (CB) is displayed Challenge bonus (CB). In the above-described embodiment, the consecutive character ratio is the ratio of the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state to the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, and the character ratio is the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. Although the ratio of the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state or the CBB state is used, in the case of providing the bonus described above, the bonus rate is the bonus to the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine (RB, CB, or SB) is the ratio of the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, and the consecutive character ratio is the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine due to the regular bonus (RB) operation relative to the total number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. The ratio of numbers.

  Hereinafter, the bonus described above will be described in detail. The regular bonus (RB), the challenge bonus (CB), and the single bonus (SB) can be subject to internal lottery in the normal state, and the regular bonus (RB) If you win in the internal lottery, you can carry on the winning state for the next game until you win, but if you win the challenge bonus (CB) and single bonus (SB) in the internal lottery regardless of whether you win or not It is a role that can not carry the winning state in the game. When the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the RB state. In the RB state, the internal lottery is performed so that the small role is won with higher probability than the normal state. Based on the number of games in the RB state and the number of wins for 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 set to a predetermined number (for example, 12 times). The RB state is terminated in response to the completion of one of the end conditions of having reached a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times) in the RB state. Return to normal state. In the normal state, when the challenge bonus (CB) is won and the bonus is won, the gaming state is shifted to the CB state. In the CB state, the small bonus 1 to small is forcibly made regardless of the result of the internal lottery. The lottery flag of the combination 10 is set to the winning state, and when one game is performed in the CB state, it is determined that the CB state end condition is satisfied, the CB state is ended, and the gaming state is changed. Return to normal state. In the normal state, when a single bonus (SB) is won and the bonus is won, the gaming state is shifted to the SB state. In the SB state, the same probability as in the normal state or a smaller probability with a higher probability than in the normal state. The internal lottery is performed so that the winning combination is won, and when one game is performed in the SB state, it is determined that the SB state end condition is satisfied, the SB state is ended, and the gaming state is normally set. Return to the state.

  In the normal state, when the second regular big bonus (RBB2) is won and the bonus is won, the gaming state is shifted to the second RBB state, and in the second RBB state, the RBB general game and the RB game are executed. In the RBB general game, the regular bonus (RB) is set as the lottery target while setting the winning probability of the small role to be the same as the normal state, and the regular bonus (RB) is won and the winning form of the bonus is selected. The RB game is executed based on the symbol combination shown on the active line (the regular bonus (RB) is activated), and the RB game is the same game as the game in the RB state described above, The RB game is ended when the RB game end condition is satisfied, the RBB general game is resumed, and the RBB general game and the RB game are started. It is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out, and the second RBB state is terminated when medals exceeding a predetermined scheduled end payout number (for example, 300) are paid out. To return the gaming state to the normal state. Further, when the second challenge big bonus (CBB2) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the second CBB state, and in the second CBB state, the CBB general game and the CB game are executed. In the CBB general game, while setting the winning probability of the small role to be the same as the normal state, the challenge bonus (CB) is set as a lottery target and an internal lottery is performed. The challenge bonus (CB) is won and the winning form of the bonus is determined. The CB game is executed based on the displayed symbol combination displayed on the active line (the challenge bonus (CB) is activated), and the CB game is the same game as the game in the CB state described above. , When the CB game end condition is satisfied, the CB game is terminated, the CBB general game is resumed, and the CBB general game and the CB game are resumed. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals that have been paid out. When medals exceeding a predetermined scheduled payout number (for example, 300) are paid out, the second CBB state is terminated. To return the gaming state to the normal state.

  In this case, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RB state, which is the gaming state during the operation of the RB, is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine due to the operation of the accessory (RB, CB, or SB), Since it is the number of medals that the gaming machine has paid out due to the operation of the RB, it is also counted as the number of payouts in the consecutive feature for calculating the consecutive feature ratio and also as the number of payouts in the feature for calculating the feature ratio, The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CB state, which is the gaming state in which the CB is operating, and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the SB state, in which the SB is operating, are the bonuses (RB, CB, or The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine due to the operation of SB) but not the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine due to the operation of RB. Ratio is only counted as the character object in the out won game in payout of the payout amount for calculating.

  Further, in the RBB state that shifts in accordance with the regular big bonus (RBB) winning in the above embodiment, since the RB is operating in all games, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state is a continuous combination. As the number of medium payouts as well as the number of payouts in bonuses, since the CB is operating in all games in the CBB state, which shifts with the winning of the challenge big bonus (CBB) of the above embodiment, The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CBB state is counted only as the number of payouts in the bonus out of the number of payouts in the continuous bonuses and the payouts in the bonuses.

  Also, in the second RBB state that shifts with the winning of the second regular big bonus (RBB2), since the RBB general game is not in operation of the accessory (RB, CB, or SB) or RB, in the RBB general game The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine is not counted as the number of payouts in consecutive features or as the number of payouts in the feature. Therefore, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RB game is counted as both the number of payouts in the consecutive feature and the number of payouts in the feature, and the number of medals that shift with the second challenge big bonus (CBB2) wins. In the 2CBB state, during the CBB general game, since the actor (RB, CB, or SB) is not operating and the RB is not operating, the gaming machine is paid out in the CBB general game. The number of dal is not counted as the number of payouts in the consecutive feature or as the number of payouts in the feature. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CB game is counted only as the number of payouts in the bonuses out of the number of payouts in the continuous bonuses and the payouts in the bonuses. Note that the number of medals paid out by gaming machines in RBB general games and the number of medals paid out by gaming machines in CBB general games are not counted as the number of payouts in consecutive features or the number of payouts in features, but are paid out by game machines. The number of medals to be paid out is counted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the identification symbol indicating the advantageous section stay ratio or the like is a symbol in which the upper digit is an alphabet character and the lower digit is a number. For example, “7U” is an identification symbol indicating an advantageous section stay ratio, “6y” is an identification symbol indicating a continuous feature ratio at 6000 games, and “ 7y ”may be“ 6A ”as the identification symbol indicating the consecutive character ratio in the total number of games, and“ 7A ”as the identification symbol indicating the character ratio in the total number of games.

  In the above embodiment, the error state is released when the lower front door DD is closed and the reset switch is operated. However, when the lower front door DD is closed, the error state is released. Also good. In this case, in the first embodiment, when the lower front door DD is closed while the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio is cyclically displayed on the payout display portion PO, the identification symbol “dE” indicating a door opening error is displayed. ”May be displayed on the payout display portion PO instead of the current display.

  In the above embodiment, each time a game is played, a first specific signal for notifying that one game has been played is output to an external device (for example, a hall computer), and 1 in the advantageous section. Each time a game is played, a second specific signal for notifying that one game has been played in the advantageous section may be output to the external device. In this way, the total number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section can be accumulated and counted in the external device, and the advantageous section stay ratio can be calculated.

  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.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won based on the fact that the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal section. For the advantageous section that was started with the winning of CBB), the end of the advantageous section that the RBB state or the CBB state that was shifted with the regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) winning is completed It is good also as conditions. However, in this case, it is desirable to continue the advantageous section when the transition to the AT state is determined at the end of the RBB state or the CBB state.

  In the above embodiment, when the batting order bell or batting order replay is won in the AT preparation state or AT state, or when the replay is won in the CBB state, the batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won) or batting order replay (batting order replay). The correct answer order (at the time of winning the batting order bell or batting order replay), the specific batting order (first game in the CBB state), or the type of replay (when winning the replay in the CBB state), or The game information indicating the pressing order (second game in the CBB state) different from the specific batting order, the game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or the game information indicating the winning combination is displayed on the game information display section DS, and the game information Directing order (correct order, specific order, or different order from the specific order) Means 180 may be informed by winning an auxiliary effect. In this case, the game information may be displayed on the credit display unit CD, the bonus display unit BS, or the payout display unit PO in the game information display unit DS while the reel is rotating.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, it is staying in an advantageous area using the segment H of the 7-segment display which comprises credit display part CD, payout display part PO, or bonus display part BS shown in FIG. 18 as a section display. It is also possible to execute an advantageous section notification for notifying. Specifically, the zone indicator is turned on as the transition to the advantageous zone is started, and the advantageous zone notification is started, and the zone indicator is turned off when the advantageous zone is finished and the routine is shifted to the normal zone. You may make it complete | finish an advantageous area alerting | reporting.

  In the above embodiment, 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. An internal lottery may be performed so that the combination 10 always wins. The internal lottery may be similarly performed in the CB game in the CB state or the second CBB state.

  In the above embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state to determine whether to shift to the AT state. However, the CZ state is provided as the effect state, and the AT lottery is not performed in the non-AT state. It may be determined whether or not to shift to the CZ state, the AT lottery is performed in the CZ state, and the effect state is shifted to the AT state based on winning the AT lottery.

  FIG. 25 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 207, 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 effect state is the non-AT state, When the lottery is won, the production state is shifted to the CZ state as shown in FIG. 26. 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 opportunity and the AT lottery execution opportunity, the CZ lottery execution opportunity is set at the time of winning the common bell, watermelon, cherry, and bonus (RBB and CBB), and the AT lottery is executed. An opportunity can be made at the time of winning the batting order bell and batting order replay. 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.

  Then, 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 207, and plays the game in the CZ state. Every time it is performed once, a constant value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 207. When the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 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, even if the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied. In this case, the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 is set to “0”. At the same time, after completing the CZ state, it shifts to the AT preparation state. In the CZ state, a winning assist effect is performed when the batting order bell is won, but a winning assist effect related to the batting order replay and a winning assist effect related to the CBB state are not performed. 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. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27, 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, and the CZ end determination counter 207 is also initialized to an initial value.

  In this aspect, as shown in FIG. 26, 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.

  In this mode, as shown in FIG. 26, the CZ state is always passed from the non-AT state to the AT state, and the initialization unit 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. In this way, the situation where an opportunity to transition to the AT state is obtained in the advantageous section and the situation where the opportunity to transition to the CZ state are obtained are clarified, so that the interest of the game can be improved. become.

  In this mode, in the CZ state, a continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the CZ state is performed. If the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, and if the result of the continuous lottery is lost The CZ state 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 207 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 207. 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 207 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 203.

  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 CZ state in the RT2 state, and in the CZ state, the winning assist effect is performed at the time of winning the batting order bell until the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches the threshold value. After the stored value reaches the threshold value, the RT state has fallen to the non-RT state or the RT1 state without performing the winning assist effect when the batting order bell is won (a specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line) The CZ state may be terminated based on the fact that the RT state is not detected even if the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 has not reached the threshold value. It may be to terminate the CZ state even when slipped to T 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.

  Also, in this aspect, when the batting order bell is won in the CZ state, game information indicating the correct batting order corresponding to the type of batting order bell, game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or game information indicating the winning combination is displayed as game information. The presentation control means 180 may display the order of pressing (correct answer order) indicated (or suggested) by the game information by means of a winning assist effect, or the game information indicating the correct answer order, internal lottery. The game information indicating the result of the game or the game information indicating the winning combination may not be displayed and the winning assist effect may not be executed.
