Based on the selected winning type lottery table, which winning type lottery random number acquired in response to the operation signal of the start switch 128 corresponds to which winning type in the winning type lottery table or unsuccessful (losing) judge.

  Here, the winning combination constituting the winning type extracted from the winning type lottery table includes a replay role, a small role, and a bonus role. Such a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is called display or winning, indicating that the winning combination including the winning combination is displayed and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. The state is the internal winning state. Among the winning combinations, the replay combination is a combination that can execute one game again without making a new bet of medals by the player when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the active line. A small combination is a combination that allows a predetermined number of medals to be paid out according to the symbol combination by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination on the active line. Further, the bonus combination is a winning combination that can change the gaming state to the bonus gaming state by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination on the active line. In the following, the gaming profits given to the winning combination and the player will be described.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the active line and the virtual line, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the winning combination, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. It is.

  FIG. 5A shows an effective line in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there is one effective line. Specifically, among the nine symbols (3 reels x upper, middle, and lower three stages) facing the symbol display window 136, the middle stage of the left reel 134a and the middle reel 134b A line connecting positions corresponding to symbols stopped at the middle stage and the middle stage of the right reel 134c is set as an effective line A for determining the winning combination winning combination. FIG. 5B shows a virtual line. The virtual line is a line that displays other symbol combinations that make it easy to grasp the winning combination when it is difficult to grasp the winning combination only by the symbol combination displayed on the active line A. Assume four virtual lines B1, B2, C1, and C2 shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, as the winning combination, a plurality of replaying roles such as winning roles “Replay 1” to “Replay 11”, winning roles “Small 1” to “Small 21”, etc. A bonus combination such as a plurality of small combinations and a winning combination “CB” is provided. Note that “ANY” shown in the winning combination “small combination 15”, “small combination 16”, and “small combination 18” indicates that any symbol may be stopped on the corresponding effective line A.

(Replay role)
As a result of lottery, if you win a winning type that includes one of the replay roles, and operate in the operation mode (in this case, the order of operations) that is the winning condition, among the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning role, When the symbols written on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c can be displayed on the effective line A and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the effective line A, as described above, the player One game can be executed again without making a bet.

  In the present embodiment, when the stop switch 130 is pressed by the player and the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination are on the active line A, the reel control means 306 Then, stop control is performed so that the symbol stops on the effective line A. In addition, when the stop switch 130 is pressed, there is no symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the effective line A, but the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary reels 134a, 134b, 134c. If it is within the range (drawing range) corresponding to three symbols, the reel control means 306 makes the number of symbols separated as the number of sliding symbols and constitutes a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination The stop control is performed so as to stop after maintaining the rotation by the number of sliding frames so as to draw the symbol to be drawn on the effective line A. In addition, when there are a plurality of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, and all of them are within the pull-in range of each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, a predetermined priority is set. It is determined which symbol is to be drawn on the effective line A according to the rank, and stop control is performed so as to stop after maintaining the rotation by the number of sliding frames so as to draw the prioritized symbol on the effective line A. If the symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination other than the selected winning combination is on the active line A when the stop switch 130 is pressed, the reel control means 306 selects the symbol. A so-called kicking process is also performed in parallel so as not to stop on the effective line A. Further, as will be described later, when the operation mode (operation order and operation timing) is set as a winning condition for the winning combination constituting the winning type, the reel control means 306 receives the winning according to the operation mode of the player. Stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the combination can be displayed on the effective line A.

  In addition, the stop control in the case of winning the winning type including the replay combination is the winning mode (for example, the winning combination “Replay 4” is won alone, or other winning combination (for example, the winning combination “Replay 5” is selected). ) And whether or not you have won both. For example, when the winning combination “Replay 4” and the winning combination “Replay 5” are won in duplicate, the winning combination “Replay 4” or the winning combination is selected according to the winning mode and the player's operating mode. The symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination of the combination “Replay 5” can be preferentially displayed on the active line A. In this embodiment, when the priority is set based on the types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, the priority becomes higher as the number of symbol combinations of the winning combination that can be displayed on the effective line A increases. Is set higher. In addition, when setting the priority based on the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the small combination, the priority is set higher as the number of small combinations paid out corresponding to the symbol combination displayed on the active line A increases. Is set.

  In the winning type including the replay combination, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to any of the replay combinations included in the winning type are arranged so that they can be always displayed on the active line A by the stop control. (See FIGS. 3 and 6). For example, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 4” in the winning category in which the winning combination “Replay 4” and the winning combination “Replay 5” overlap are included in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c. Since the maximum symbols are only 4 frames apart, they can always be displayed on the active line A by stop control. Accordingly, when the winning combination “Replay 4” and the winning combination “Replay 5” are won in the same winning category and operated in the operation mode that is the winning condition of the winning combination “Replay 5”, the winning combination “Replay 5” is selected. Can be preferentially displayed on the active line A, but even if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 5” cannot be displayed on the active line A, at least Since the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 4” that has been won in duplicate can be displayed on the active line A, one of the replaying combinations is won. When the stop switch 130 is operated at a random operation timing, the probability that the symbol corresponding to the predetermined rotating reel 134a, 134b, 134c of the corresponding winning combination is displayed on the active line A is referred to as “PB”. , 0 (0%) to 1 (100%). For example, as described above, one or more symbols corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 4” are arranged so that they can be displayed on the active line A on any of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c. Therefore, PB = 1 in any of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c. In this way, when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the active line A, it is possible to start the next one game without inserting medals.

(Small role)
In addition, as a result of the lottery classification, the winning category including the winning combination “small role 19” with nine payouts was won and the winning conditions were satisfied (corresponding to the winning combination “small role 19” described later). 6), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “small combination 19” shown in FIG. 6 can be displayed on the active line A (PB = 1). In addition, in the case where the winning category including the winning combination “Small 19” is won and the winning condition is not satisfied, the symbol combination corresponding to the other winning combination is preferentially placed on the active line A. Although the winning combination is different from the winning combination “Small 19”, it is not PB = 1, so depending on the operation timing of the player, it is not preferentially displayed on the active line A, so-called. , Can be missed. The same stop control is performed for the other winning combinations “Small 20” and “Small 21” with a payout number of nine.

(Bonus role)
In addition, as a result of the lottery of the winning category, when the winning category “CB” including the winning combination “CB” is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “CB” can be displayed on the active line A. When the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “CB” is displayed on the active line A, the bonus game flag is turned ON, so that the game state is set to the bonus game state, and the next one game (hereinafter simply referred to as “game”). After the next game), the game can be executed in the bonus game state until a predetermined number (for example, 11) of medals are paid out. The symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “CB” are separated by a maximum of four frames in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c (PB = 1), so the stop control described above. Are arranged so as to be displayed on the effective line A (see FIGS. 3 and 6).

  When a winning type including any of the above winning combinations is won, an internal winning flag corresponding to each winning type is established (ON), and the left reel 134a is set according to the establishment status of the internal winning flag. Thus, the stop control of each of the middle reel 134b and the right reel 134c is performed. At this time, if the winning combination including the small combination is won, but the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination cannot be displayed on the active line A within the one game, After completion, the internal winning flag is turned off. In other words, the right to win a small role is limited to only one game won in the winning type including the small role, and the right cannot be carried over to the next game. On the other hand, when the winning type including the winning combination “CB” is won, the BB internal winning flag is established (ON) and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “CB” is on the active line A. Until it is displayed, the BB internal winning flag is carried over the game. However, in this embodiment, the winning combination “CB” wins the winning game, so the BB internal winning flag is not carried over the game. When the internal winning flag corresponding to the winning type including the replay combination is established, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is always displayed on the active line A, and the next game is performed without requiring a medal. After the necessary processing is performed, the internal winning flag is turned off.

(Game state transition)
Here, the transition of the gaming state including the bonus gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a plurality of gaming states such as an RT0 gaming state, an RT1 gaming state (first RT gaming state), an RT2 gaming state, an RT3 gaming state (second RT gaming state), and a bonus gaming state are prepared. The RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state are set with the winning probabilities for the replay roles (RT0 gaming state, RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state = 1 / 7.3, RT3 gaming state = 1 / 1.7 (However, the winning probability of each RT game can be arbitrarily set), so-called RT gaming state, and a predetermined winning combination is mainly displayed on the active line A as will be described later. As a result, the RT gaming state shifts. The RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state may be referred to as a bonus non-established gaming state in association with the bonus gaming state. Here, the winning probability of the replaying role in the RT3 gaming state is set to be relatively high, and the player can advantageously advance the game by shifting to the RT3 gaming state. Further, in the RT3 gaming state, it is assumed that an AT is performed in parallel (AT effect state) in which an auxiliary effect for winning a winning combination with a large number of payouts is performed. In the present embodiment, an RT3 game is assumed. A state in which AT is executed in parallel with the state may be referred to as an ART gaming state. Here, the RT1 gaming state with a winning probability of 1 / 7.3 for the replay role is cited as the first RT gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state with a winning probability of the replay role of 1 / 1.7 is cited as the second RT gaming state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the second RT gaming state is easier to win the replay role than the first RT gaming state (if the winning probability of the replay role is higher), any RT gaming state is applied. May be.

  The state transition means 312 shifts the plurality of gaming states based on winning or winning of a predetermined winning type such as a replay combination or bonus combination. Further, as will be described later, the state transition means 312 determines whether or not to shift the effect state from the non-AT effect state to the AT effect state based on the effect type determined by the effect type lottery. To do. When the transition to the AT effect state is determined by the effect state lottery, the gaming state is shifted to the RT3 gaming state, and the AT gaming state in which the AT effect state and the RT3 gaming state progress in parallel is set.

  Specifically, at a predetermined opportunity in the RT0 gaming state, as shown in FIG. 7 (1), the state shifts to the RT1 gaming state. Here, the RT1 gaming state is the basic gaming state. Here, when the transition to the AT effect state is determined by the effect state lottery described above, if the game state is the RT1 game state, an auxiliary effect is performed, and a winning combination indicating a transition to the RT2 game state described later ( When the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 10”) is displayed on the active line A, the gaming state is shifted to the RT2 gaming state and the gaming state is the RT2 gaming as shown in (2) of FIG. If it is in the state, an auxiliary effect is performed, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination (winning combination “Replay 11”) indicating the transition to the RT3 gaming state described later is displayed on the active line A, so that FIG. As shown in (3), the gaming state is shifted to the RT3 gaming state. Thus, the gaming state shifts to the RT3 gaming state and becomes the ART gaming state together with the AT effect state.

  Here, the ART gaming state in which the AT effect state and the RT3 gaming state are executed in parallel continues for the number of continuing games. Here, the number of continued games is the number of games (upper limit) in which the effect state (game state) can be continued. In addition, the state transition means 312 also executes a lottery for determining whether or not to add the number of continuous games in the ART gaming state in the ART gaming state, so-called extra lottery. During this time, if the number of continued games is added, the ART game state is maintained for a longer time by the added number of games, and the player can proceed with the game advantageously. Then, when the number of games reaches the number of continuing games, the AT effect state is terminated in the ART game state, the auxiliary effect is not performed, and the transition to the RT1 game state is performed as shown in (4) of FIG. When the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination shown is displayed on the active line A, the gaming state is shifted to the RT1 gaming state.

  In the winning type lottery in any of the non-bonus gaming states such as the RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state, the winning combination “CB” is won and the BB internal winning flag is set. When established, the state transition means 312 shifts the gaming state to an internal middle gaming state (not shown) corresponding to the bonus gaming state preparation state. However, in the present embodiment, when the winning combination “CB” is won, the player can always display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “CB” on the active line A (PB = 1). The internal winning flag is not carried over to the next game (the internal game state is not maintained), and the state transition means 312 shifts the game state from the internal game state to the bonus game state. As a result, when the winning combination “CB” is won in the winning type lottery, as shown in FIG. 7 (5), the state transition means 312 changes the gaming state to the RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, A transition from the RT3 gaming state to the bonus gaming state is made. In such a bonus game state, regardless of the winning type lottery result, in all the lottery results, the corresponding symbol combinations that can always be displayed on the active line A (for example, the winning roles “small roles 15” to “ Since it is forcibly set to any one of the small roles 18 ", the medal can be paid out without fail. In this bonus game state, when a predetermined number (for example, 11) or more medals are paid out, as shown in (6) of FIG. 7, the state transition means 312 changes the game state from the bonus game state to the bonus game state. A transition is made (returned) to the gaming state in which the user stayed before the transition (RT0 gaming state, RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state, or RT3 gaming state). It should be noted that the effect state does not change due to the transition to the bonus game state and the return to the bonus non-achieved game state.

(Winning type lottery table)
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a winning type lottery table used when determining a winning type lottery random number. In the winning type lottery table, a plurality of winning areas are sectioned, and the winning type to be a lottery differs depending on each gaming state. FIG. 8 shows winning areas assigned for each gaming state (RT0 gaming state (RT0), RT1 gaming state (RT1), RT2 gaming state (RT2), RT3 gaming state (RT3), bonus gaming state (CB)). (Winning type) is indicated by “◯”. Therefore, a winning area in which “◯” is not described indicates that it is not assigned to the gaming state. Each partitioned area is associated with a predetermined number (winning range value), which is a numerical value indicating the winning range, and the winning type, and the number of all winning areas assigned for each gaming state Is the total number of winning type random numbers (65536). Therefore, the probability that each winning category is determined is a value obtained by dividing the number associated with the winning area by the total number of winning category random numbers. Based on the gaming state at that time, the winning type lottery means 304 sequentially obtains a number from the higher number of the plurality of winning areas in the winning type lottery table, and the number is determined as a winning type lottery random number. When the subtraction value is less than 0, the winning type associated with the winning area at that time is used as the lottery result. The lottery procedure can be applied to other lotteries.

  According to the winning type lottery table of FIG. 8, each winning type includes one winning combination or a plurality of duplicate winning combinations. When an arbitrary winning type is won by winning type lottery, a symbol combination corresponding to one of the winning combinations included in the winning type is preferentially displayed on the active line A. For example, the winning category “Replay 8” in the winning area 8 includes the winning roles “Replay 4”, “Replay 5”, and “Replay 6”, and the winning category “Replay 8” is won by the winning category lottery. Then, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 6” is preferentially displayed on the active line A. In addition, the winning category “Rare Minor 1” in the winning area 21 includes the duplicated “Minor Minor 13” and “Minor 14”, and if the winning category “Rare Minor 1” is won, The symbol combination corresponding to either the winning combination “small combination 13” or the winning combination “small combination 14” is preferentially displayed on the active line A in accordance with the operation timing of the person. The same stop control is performed for other winning types shown in the winning type lottery table of FIG.

  The winning area “0” in the winning type lottery table is associated with the winning type “unsuccessful”, and when the winning type is won, the symbol combinations corresponding to any of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 6 are valid lines. The medals are not paid out without being displayed on A.

  In addition, in the winning type lottery table, an operation mode (operation order and operation timing) may be set as a winning condition for a winning type in which a plurality of winning combinations are duplicated. . For example, the winning category “Replay 1” in the winning area 1 includes the winning roles “Replay 1”, “Replay 2”, “Replay 3”, and “Replay 4”, which correspond to each winning role. A winning condition for preferentially displaying the symbol combination to be displayed on the active line A, for example, the order in which the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are operated is set.

  In the following description, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c is referred to as “batting order 1”, and the left reel 134a, the right reel 134c, and the middle reel The stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130b for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the middle reel 134b, the left reel 134a, and the right reel 134c are set to “batting order 2”. The operation of 130c is “batting order 3”, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the middle reel 134b, the right reel 134c, and the left reel 134a is “batting order 4”, the right reel 134c, Reel 13 a. Stop button switches for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the middle reel 134b. The operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c is “batting order 5”, and the stop button switch for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the right reel 134c, the middle reel 134b, and the left reel 134a. The operations of 130a, 130b, and 130c are set to “batting order 6”.

  Here, as shown in the winning type lottery table, when the winning type “Replay 1” in the winning area 1 is won, the winning combination “Replay 4” is preferentially displayed when an operation according to batting order 1 to 4 is performed, When the operations in the batting orders 5 and 6 are performed, the winning combination “Replay 1” is displayed with priority. In addition, when the winning types “Replay 3” and “Replay 4” in the winning areas 3 and 4 are won, both the operations according to the batting orders 1 to 4 and the operations according to the batting orders 5 and 6 are performed. The winning combination “Replay 4” is preferentially displayed, but the symbols that preferentially stop are different.

  Further, as shown in the winning type lottery table, the winning types “Transition Replay 1” to “Transition Replay 6” in the winning areas 9 to 14 correspond to the winning combination “Replay 10” for shifting the gaming state to the RT2 gaming state. Winning conditions for preferentially displaying the symbol combination on the active line A are assigned to each batting order (batting order 1 to 6), and the game state is transferred (maintained) to the RT1 gaming state when operated in other batting orders. The symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations “Replay 7” and “Replay 8” to be displayed is preferentially displayed on the active line A. In addition, in the winning types “Transition Replay 7” to “Transition Replay 12” in the winning areas 15 to 20, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 11” that shifts the gaming state to the RT3 gaming state is given priority on the active line A. Winning conditions to be displayed automatically are assigned to each batting order (batting order 1 to 6), and when the player operates in other batting orders, the winning combination “Replay 7”, “ The symbol combination corresponding to any of “Replay 9” is preferentially displayed on the active line A. Here, the numbers of the winning areas 9 to 14 and the numbers of the winning areas 15 to 20 are set to be equal.

  Further, as shown in the winning type lottery table, in the winning types “batting order small part 1” to “batting order small part 12” in the winning areas 24 to 35, the winning part “small part 19”, “small” The winning conditions for preferentially displaying the symbol combination corresponding to either “20” or “21” on the active line A are assigned to each batting order (batting order 1 to 6), and operated in other batting orders. In the case of the symbol combination, the symbol combination corresponding to any one of the winning combinations “Small 1” to “Small 12” with a payout number is preferentially displayed on the active line A. However, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “small role 19”, “small role 20”, “small role 21” with 9 payouts can always be displayed on the active line A (PB = 1). The symbol combinations corresponding to “small role 1” to “small role 12” cannot always be displayed on the active line A (PB = 1/2). Accordingly, if the winning combination “Pocket 19”, “Pocket 20”, “Pocket 21” is operated in the batting order, which is the winning condition, 9 coins can be received, and if operated in another batting order, 1 coin is paid out. Can only be received with a probability of 1/2.

  The numbers of the winning areas 24 to 35 are set to be equal. Since the player cannot normally know which winning type is won, by providing the winning areas 24 to 35 as described above, the winning role “small role 19” as the selected winning role, It is extremely difficult to win either “small role 20” or “small role 21”. However, even if the player wins a winning type in which the player's gaming profit differs according to the operation order of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c, the player can win the winning roles “Small 19”, “ Corresponding to one of the winning roles “Small 19”, “Small 20” or “Small 21” by grasping the correct operation mode that can win either “Small 20” or “Small 21” The combination of symbols to be displayed is displayed on the effective line A, and more medals can be obtained than in a state where the auxiliary effect is not performed. Further, with respect to the winning areas 9 to 14 and the winning areas 15 to 20 described above, the player wins the winning combination “Replay 10” or the winning combination “Replay 11” as the selected winning combination by performing the auxiliary effect. It is possible to grasp the correct operation mode to be obtained, display the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 10” and the winning combination “Replay 11” on the active line A, and shift the gaming state to a more advantageous gaming state. Become.

  In this way, by executing the auxiliary effect (AT effect state), the probability of the replay role is high (RT3 gaming state) and the number of medals is likely to increase as the game progresses (ART gaming state) By not performing an effect (non-AT effect state), a replay probability is low (RT0 gaming state, RT1 gaming state or RT2 gaming state), and a state where medals are likely to decrease as the game progresses is realized. It becomes possible.

(Transition of production state)
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the effect state on the main control board 200. As described with reference to FIG. 7, the state transition unit 312 determines whether or not to transition the rendering state from the non-AT rendering state to the AT rendering state based on the winning category determined by the winning category lottery. Determined by lottery. When the transition to the AT effect state is determined by the effect state lottery, the gaming state is shifted to the RT3 gaming state, and the AT gaming state in which the AT effect state and the RT3 gaming state progress in parallel is set. Hereinafter, an effect state (non-AT effect state, AT effect state) shifted by the state transition means 312 in the main control board 200 will be described.

  In the non-AT effect state, a non-AT normal effect state and a non-AT chance effect state are provided. When the production state is a non-AT production state, the frequency of the auxiliary production is much lower than that of the AT production state, and almost no auxiliary production is performed or no auxiliary production is performed. Is done. The non-AT normal effect state is an effect state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of effect states.

  The state transition means 312 shifts the rendering state to the non-AT chance rendering state based on a predetermined opportunity in the non-AT normal rendering state, for example, when a predetermined winning category is determined in the winning category lottery (1), When a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the non-AT chance effect state (for example, when a predetermined number of games is consumed), the effect state is returned to the non-AT normal effect state (2). In addition, in the non-AT normal effect state and the non-AT chance effect state, the state transition means 312 determines the transition to the AT effect state by effect state lottery, and changes the effect state to the AT effect state (first AT preparation effect state, second AT (3), (4). However, even if the transition to the AT effect state is determined, the state transition means 312 does not immediately shift to the AT effect state, but is so-called over a predetermined number of games after the transition to the AT effect state is determined. After the sign is executed, the effect state is shifted to the AT effect state. The non-AT chance effect state is set so that it is easier to shift to the AT effect state than the non-AT normal effect state. Further, when the predetermined number of games is consumed in the non-AT effect state without shifting to the AT effect state (when reaching the so-called ceiling), the state transition means 312 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state. In addition, even when the transition to the AT effect state is not determined, there is a case where a harsh omen similar to the present omen is performed.

  In the AT effect state, it is possible to acquire many medals while suppressing consumption of medals by notifying the correct operation mode by the assist effect. Therefore, the player can advantageously advance the game in the AT effect state compared to the non-AT effect state.

  The AT effect state includes three AT normal effect states (a first AT normal effect state, a second AT normal effect state, and a third AT normal effect state) and an AT special effect that shifts when a specific condition is satisfied in the second AT normal effect state. A state is provided. The three AT normal performance states are provided with AT preparation performance states (first AT preparation performance state, second AT preparation performance state, and third AT preparation performance state), respectively, as preparation states.

  The first AT normal effect state (first effect state) is a so-called pseudo bonus, and a medal can be obtained through the auxiliary effect. The second AT normal performance state is a so-called real ART, and the continuous AT lottery is performed after the end condition is satisfied, and if it is determined to continue by the continuous lottery, the second AT normal performance state is looped. This is an advantageous production state that is more likely to win more medals. The 3rd AT normal performance state (the 3rd performance state) is a so-called premier ART which is the most advantageous performance state, and can obtain a lot of gaming profits (for example, the stock of the 2nd AT normal performance state and the number of games added). In addition, after the end of the third AT normal effect state, the transition to the second AT normal effect state is determined.

  When the transition to the AT effect state is determined when the effect state is the non-AT effect state, the state transition unit 312 shifts the effect state to the first AT preparation effect state or the second AT preparation effect state. When the predetermined transition condition is satisfied in the first AT preparation effect state, the state transition means 312 shifts the effect state to the first AT normal effect state (5), and when the predetermined transition condition is satisfied in the second AT preparation effect state. The production state is shifted to the second AT normal production state (6). The transition condition is set such that the gaming state has transitioned to the RT3 gaming state as described above.

  Then, when a predetermined number of continued games (for example, 30 games) have elapsed in the first AT normal performance state, the performance state is set to the non-AT normal performance state or the second based on the lottery result corresponding to the predetermined transition expectation degree. Transition to the 2AT normal performance state (7), (8). Note that the expected transition degree is determined by lottery from a plurality of expected transition degrees having different expectation levels at the end of the AT performance state.

  In the second AT normal performance state, the state transition means 312 determines points for each game by lottery based on the winning type determined by the winning type lottery. When the number of continuous games is consumed before the point reaches a preset value or more, the state transition means 312 determines the second AT normal performance state according to the total value of the points acquired so far. Continue lottery. In the continuation lottery, the lottery is such that it is easier to continue as the total value of points acquired so far increases. When it is determined that the lottery is to be continued through the lottery, the state transition unit 312 shifts (continues) the effect state to the second AT normal effect state again (9).

  In addition, when the total number of points acquired becomes equal to or more than the specified value before the number of continued games is consumed in the second AT normal performance state, the state transition unit 312 changes the performance state to the AT special performance state (second performance state). (11). In the AT special effect state, the state transition means 312 performs an extra lottery to add the number of continuous games in the AT special effect state in the first game. Then, the state transition means 312 determines the remaining number of continuous games in the second AT normal performance state when the total number of games determined by the extra lottery and the total value of points acquired in the second AT normal performance state exceeds the specified value. Is set as the number of continued games in the AT special effect state.

  Then, after the second game in the AT special effect state, the state transition means 312 performs the stock lottery in the second AT normal effect state for each game based on the winning type determined by the winning type lottery. When the stock lottery is won, at least one right to obtain a continuation result in the continuous lottery in the second AT normal performance state is obtained (stocked).

  In addition, after the number of continuous games is consumed in the AT special performance state, after performing the lottery to acquire the initial points in the second AT normal performance state to be transferred thereafter, the state transition means 312 changes the performance state to the second AT. Transition to the normal performance state (12).

  In addition, when a predetermined winning type, for example, the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery, the state transition unit 312 shifts the effect state to the third AT preparation effect state regardless of the effect state at that time. When the transition condition is satisfied in the third AT preparation effect state, the state is shifted to the third AT normal effect state (14). When the end condition is satisfied in the third AT normal performance state, the state transition means 312 shifts the performance state to the second AT normal performance state (15). In the following, a process for shifting the effect state to the third AT normal effect state will be described in detail.

  FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are diagrams for explaining effects when winning type “Replay 1” is won. As described above, when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery, the state transition means 312 will be the gaming profit regardless of the staged state of the current stage, that is, the staged state will be the non-AT staged state. However, although it is in the AT effect state, the effect state is shifted to the third AT preparation effect state, and then is shifted to the third AT normal effect state.

  In the third AT normal performance state, a high gaming profit can be obtained by lottery during the performance state, and the transition to the second AT normal performance state is also confirmed. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to increase the impact of shifting to the 3AT normal performance state with high gaming profit, when the transition to the 3AT normal performance state is determined, the reel control means 306 performs the reel performance and performs the performance. The control means 334 executes an effect accompanying the reel effect.

  However, when the production state is the third AT normal production state and the AT special production state (hereinafter, both production states are referred to as the specific production state), the winning type “Replay 1” (specific winning type) is won by the winning type lottery. At that time, if the reel production is performed immediately and the production state is shifted to the 3rd AT normal production state (the 3rd AT preparation production state), the medal or the addition that should have been originally obtainable in the specific production state before the transition is added. Since it becomes impossible to acquire game profits such as lottery and stock lottery, there is a possibility that it may be disadvantageous to the player. In addition, in the specific effect state, the effect control means 334 performs a continuous effect dedicated to each effect state. Therefore, if the reel effect is sandwiched, the connection of effects deteriorates.

  In addition, since the 3rd AT normal performance state is the most advantageous performance state, it is a section that is noticed by the player, and there is a scene that may be perceived as a loss by the player based on the transition to the 3rd AT normal performance state. If it occurs, there is a risk of affecting the merchantability. However, since there is a winning type (winning type “Replay 1”) in which the provision of the third AT normal performance state is confirmed, it is possible to control in which directing state the provision of the third AT normal performance state is confirmed. Can not. And, for example, winning the winning type “Replay 1” while staying in a section that makes the player expect that a gaming profit can be given as a higher level state than other AT production states such as an AT special production state. Based on this, the AT special performance state is forcibly terminated in spite of the expectation that the game profit will be given in the AT special performance state when the state is immediately shifted to the 3rd AT normal performance state. The player may be perceived as having lost the opportunity to grant gaming profits in the state. Considering that the third AT normal performance state is a section that is noticed by the player, there is a high possibility that the player's impression will be further impaired, and the control for controlling the flow of the performance is performed together with the transition timing of the third AT normal performance state. I need it.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery during the specific effect state, the effect state is not immediately shifted to the third AT normal effect state (third AT preparation effect state). In addition, after the specific effect state during the stay is ended, that is, after the effect state is shifted to the second AT normal effect state, the state is shifted to the third AT normal effect state (third AT preparation effect state).

  First, the case where the winning type “Replay 1” is won by winning type lottery during an effect state other than the specific effect state (hereinafter referred to as a non-specific effect state), which is less advantageous than the specific effect state, will be described.

  If the winning category “Replay 1” is won by the winning category lottery based on the operation of the start switch 128 while the rendering state is the non-specific rendering state, the rendering control means 334 assists in winning the winning combination “Replay 1”. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10A, the image 350a showing the batting order 6 of the correct operation modes (batting orders 5 and 6), which are winning conditions for the winning combination “Replay 1” (specific winning combination), and the pattern to be aimed at A special effect of displaying the image 350b indicating (here the symbol “7”) on the upper liquid crystal display unit 138a is executed. Here, when the player performs an operation according to the batting order 6 at a timing at which the symbol “7” can be drawn, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 1” is selected in the same game as shown in FIG. It can be displayed on the effective line A. In response to winning of the winning combination “Replay 1”, the state transition unit 312 shifts the effect state to the third AT preparation effect state. When the player starts the next game by operating the start switch 128, the reel control means 306 activates the operation of the stop switch 130 in the previous game as shown in FIG. In order to display the lottery result of the winning type lottery based on the operation of the start switch 128 of this game, the time until the player activates the operation of the stop switch 130 is extended from the prescribed time, and the reel production is performed. Run. When the reel effect ends, the state transition means 312 shifts from the game to the third AT preparation effect state.

  As described above, in the example using FIG. 10, the reel control means 306 executes the reel effect in the next game based on winning of a specific winning type (for example, winning type “Replay 1”). .

  On the other hand, if the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery based on the operation of the start switch 128 while the producing state is the specific producing state, the producing control means 334, as shown in FIG. An auxiliary effect indicating a batting order (for example, batting order 1) other than the correct operation mode (batting order 5, 6) which is a winning condition for the winning combination “Replay 1” is performed, and the special effect is not executed. The effect control means 334 displays a dedicated effect image corresponding to the effect state during the stay (in FIG. 11A, an AT special effect state image corresponding to the AT special effect state) on the upper liquid crystal display unit 138a. ing. In addition, the state transition means 312 turns on a premier flag for transitioning the rendering state to the third AT normal rendering state (third AT preparation rendering state) after the end of the specific rendering state, and performs the above-described extra lottery or stock lottery. , Based on the selected winning type “Replay 1”.

  Accordingly, since the player cannot grasp that the winning type “Replay 1” has been won by the winning type lottery, if the player operates the stop switches 130a, 130b, 130c in the batting order 1 according to the auxiliary effect, FIG. As shown, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay 4” is displayed on the active line A.

  As described above, when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery, the player cannot win the winning role “Replay 1” by not performing the special effect, so that the winning role When “Replay 4” is won, it is considered that a simple replay role has been won.

  Thereafter, when the number of continued games in the specific performance state is exhausted and the performance state is shifted to the second AT normal performance state, the state transition means 312 will run over 5 games based on the premiere flag being on. Then, a prelude sign indicating that the effect state is shifted to the third AT normal effect state is executed. The premier flag is turned off here.

  Further, when the premiere sign is started, the effect control means 334 displays a dedicated effect image corresponding to the second AT normal effect state on the upper liquid crystal display unit 138a as shown in FIG. Such effect image is displayed superimposed on the upper liquid crystal display unit 138a.

  Then, when the premiere sign ends, that is, when five games have elapsed since the start of the second AT normal performance state, the reel control means 306, as shown in FIG. Time from when the operation of the stop switch 130 is activated in the game until the player activates the operation of the stop switch 130 in order to display the lottery result of the winning type lottery based on the operation of the start switch 128 of the current game Is extended from the specified time and the reel effect is executed. When the reel effect ends, the state transition means 312 shifts from the game to the third AT preparation effect state.

  As described above, when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery during the specific effect state, the effect state is not shifted to the third AT normal effect state until the specific effect state is ended, and the specific effect state is changed. After the production is finished and the production state is shifted to the second AT normal production state, the reel production is performed to shift the production state to the third AT normal production state. Thus, in the specific effect state, when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery, it is possible to prevent the number of continued games in the specific effect state from being ended without being digested. It is possible to prevent a person from suffering a disadvantage. In addition, since the dedicated effect in the specific effect state is not hindered by the special effect or the reel effect, it is possible to prevent the connection in the effect from being deteriorated.

  Hereinafter, specific processing in the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 will be described based on flowcharts.

(Main processing of main control board 200)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing main processing of the main control board 200. Here, first, an outline of one game after initialization will be described along the main process of the main control board 200, and then the details of each process will be described. Here, processing related to the features of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and descriptions of configurations unrelated to the features of the present embodiment will be omitted. Although detailed description is omitted, when each process is performed, the switches (the bet switch 126, the start switch 128, and the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c) used in each process are activated at the start of the process. And invalidated at the end of the process.

(Step S100)
When the power of the slot machine 100 is turned on via the power switch 148 and becomes energized, the initialization unit 300 executes an initialization process in preparation for the start of the game. The initialization unit 300 generates backup data at any time while the power is on, and holds the backup data in the main RAM 200c. Therefore, even if an unexpected power interruption occurs, it is possible to restore the state before the power interruption using the stored backup data in this initialization process. For example, even if an unexpected power interruption occurs during the rotation of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c, the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c are started again after the return operation. Therefore, in the initialization process, the main RAM 200c is basically not initialized (RAM clear).

(Step S200)
Subsequently, the betting means 302 bets medals through the operation of the bet switch 126 by the player or the insertion of medals into the medal insertion unit 124. Further, the command determining means 314 generates a making command indicating that the operation has been performed, and the command sending means 316 sends the generated making command to the sub control board 202.

(Step S300)
Next, the winning type lottery means 304 validates the game start operation with respect to the start switch 128 and shifts to a state of waiting for the operation of the start switch 128. Here, the winning type lottery means 304 at the time when the start switch 128 is operated from the winning type lottery random number updated by the random number generator 200d of the main control board 200 in accordance with the operation of the start switch 128 by the player. 1 winning type lottery random number is acquired. Then, the winning type lottery means 304 selects one winning type lottery table corresponding to the currently set gaming state from the winning type lottery table shown in FIG. 9, and the acquired winning type lottery random number is selected. It is determined which winning area corresponds to the selected winning type lottery table, and the determined winning type or not winning is determined as the lottery result. In addition, after the lottery result is determined in accordance with the operation of the start switch 128, the command determining unit 314 generates a winning type command including a lottery result (winning type or not winning) of the winning type lottery, information on the gaming state, and the like. Then, the command transmission unit 316 transmits the generated winning type command to the sub-control board 202. The lottery process S300 will be described in detail later.

(Step S400)
When the start switch 128 is operated, the reel control means 306 drives the stepping motor 262 to rotate the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c. In this reel rotation process, when a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) elapses from the start of rotation of the left reel 134a, middle reel 134b, and right reel 134c in the previous game (wait), the left reel in the game The rotation of 134a, middle reel 134b, and right reel 134c is started, and when all of the left reel 134a, middle reel 134b, and right reel 134c are rotated at a constant speed, the process proceeds to step S500. Further, the reel control means 306 may execute a reel effect. The reel rotation processing S400 will be described in detail later.

(Step S500)
Subsequently, when the reel control means 306 activates the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c and receives an operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c by the player, the reel control means 306 receives the rotation reel (the left reel 134a, Either the middle reel 134b or the right reel 134c) is controlled to stop. In addition, when any of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c is operated, the command determining unit 314 displays a stop command (first stop command, information indicating the information of the operated stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c). (Second stop command, third stop command) is generated for each operation, and the command transmission means 316 sequentially transmits the generated stop commands to the sub-control board 202.

(Step S600)
Next, the determination means 308 determines which combination the symbol combination displayed on the active line A shown in FIG. 5A corresponds to and determines the gaming state according to the symbol combination. Various processes required for change and replay are executed. In addition, the command determination unit 314 generates a winning command including a symbol combination displayed on the effective line A and a medal payout number when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is displayed on the effective line A. The command transmission unit 316 transmits the generated winning command to the sub-control board 202. Further, the state transition means 312 transitions the gaming state from the non-bonus established gaming state to the bonus gaming state based on the fact that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “CB” is displayed on the active line A. Further, the state transition means 312 shifts the gaming state to one of the RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state according to the symbol combination displayed on the activated line A. Further, for example, if the effect state is the AT effect state, the state transition unit 312 shifts to the non-AT effect state based on a predetermined end condition, for example, a predetermined number of games being consumed. This determination process S600 will be described in detail later.

(Step S700)
Subsequently, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the active line A based on the determination result in step S600, for example, the payout control unit 310 executes a medal payout process corresponding to the small combination. When the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the active line A, a process for automatically betting the next game is executed. In addition, when the predetermined number of medals are paid out in the bonus game state, the state transition unit 312 shifts the gaming state from the bonus gaming state to the non-bonus gaming state. Thus, the payout control means 310 performs various processes corresponding to the symbol combination displayed on the active line A, and ends the one game. Further, when the medal payout process is performed, the command determination unit 314 generates a payout command indicating that the payout process has been performed, and the command transmission unit 316 transmits the generated payout command to the sub-control board 202. .

  One game is executed through a series of processes from step S200 to step S700. Thereafter, steps S200 to S700 are repeated.

(Lottery process S300)
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the lottery process in step S300. Here, processing related to the feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and description of the configuration unrelated to the feature of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S301)
First, the state transition unit 312 determines whether the winning type lottery result by the winning type lottery unit 304 is the winning type “Replay 1”. As a result, if the winning type is “Replay 1”, the process proceeds to Step S302. If the winning type is not “Replay 1”, the lottery process S300 is terminated.

(Step S302)
If it is determined in step S301 that the winning type “Replay 1” is won, the state transition unit 312 determines whether or not the effect state is the specific effect state. As a result, if the production state is the specific production state, the process proceeds to step S303, and if the production state is not the specific production state, that is, if the production state is a non-specific production state, the process proceeds to step S304.

(Step S303)
If it is determined in step S302 that the effect state is the specific effect state, the state transition unit 312 turns on the premier flag and ends the lottery process S300.

(Step S304)
If it is determined in step S302 that the effect state is not the specific effect state, that is, the non-specific effect state, the state transition unit 312 turns on the reel effect flag, and ends the lottery process S300. Here, the reel effect flag is a flag for making a reservation for performing the reel effect in the non-specific effect state, and the reel effect is executed in the next game, and is turned off by the execution of the reel effect.

(Reel rotation processing S400)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the reel rotation process in step S400. Here, processing related to the feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and description of the configuration unrelated to the feature of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S401)
First, the reel control means 306 determines whether or not the reel effect flag is on. As a result, if the reel effect flag is on, the process proceeds to step S403, and if the reel effect flag is off, the process proceeds to step S402.

(Step S402)
If it is determined in step S401 that the reel effect flag is not on, the reel control means 306 determines whether or not the pre-premiere game number set in step S605 described later has elapsed. As a result, if the number of pre-premiere games has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S403, and if the number of pre-premiere games has not elapsed, the reel rotation processing S400 ends.

(Step S403)
If it is determined in step S401 that the reel effect flag is ON, and if it is determined in step S402 that the premier predictive game number has elapsed, the reel control means 306 executes the reel effect and performs the reel rotation process. S400 ends.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the determination process in step S600. Here, processing related to the feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and description of the configuration unrelated to the feature of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S601)
First, the state transition means 312 performs a rendering state transition process for transitioning the rendering state when transitioning the rendering state. For example, in the non-specific effect state, the state transition unit 312 shifts the effect state to the third AT preparation effect state when the winning type “Replay 1” is determined by the winning type lottery. Moreover, the state transition means 312 shifts the effect state to the second AT normal effect state on condition that the number of continuous games has elapsed in the specific effect state. In addition, the state transition means 312 determines that the pre-premiere game number has passed after the stage state is transitioned to the second AT normal stage state when the winning type “Replay 1” is determined by the lottery in the specific stage state. On the condition, the production state is shifted to the third AT preparation production state.

(Step S602)
The state transition means 312 determines whether or not the effect state has been shifted to the second AT normal effect state in step S601. As a result, if the effect state has shifted to the second AT normal effect state, the process proceeds to step S603, and if the effect state has not shifted to the second AT normal effect state, the determination process S600 ends.

(Step S603)
If it is determined in step S602 that the state has shifted to the second AT normal performance state, the state transition unit 312 determines whether or not the premier flag is on. As a result, if the premier flag is on, the process proceeds to step S604, and if the premier flag is not on, the determination process S600 is terminated.

(Step S604)
If it is determined in step S603 that the premier flag is on, the state transition unit 312 turns off the premier flag.

(Step S605)
The state transition means 312 sets the number of pre-premiere games (for example, five games) that is the number of pre-premier games in the second AT normal performance state, and ends the determination process S600.

(Sub-processing of sub-control board 202)
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a sub process of the sub control board 202. Here, processing related to the feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and description of the configuration unrelated to the feature of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S1100)
When the power of the slot machine 100 is turned on via the power switch 148 and becomes energized, the initialization determining means 330 executes an initialization process in preparation for the start of the game. The initialization determination unit 330 generates backup data at any time while the power is turned on, and holds the backup data in the sub RAM 202c.

(Step S1200)
The command receiving unit 332 determines whether a command from the main control board 200 is received. As a result, if a command has been received, the process proceeds to step S1300. If a command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S1400.

(Step S1300)
If it is determined in step S1200 that a command has been received, the command receiving unit 332 executes various processes based on the received command.

(Step S1400)
The effect control means 334 refers to the execution information (time table) of the various effects determined to be executed, performs an effect execution process for executing a process corresponding to the corresponding time stored in the time table, and from step S1200. Repeat the process. Here, the time table is a table in which what operation is executed at which operation trigger is associated with each of the plurality of operation triggers. In this process, display images on the upper liquid crystal display unit 138a and the lower liquid crystal display unit 138b are inserted and switched, and various commands are transmitted to each device. As a result, various effects are executed.

(Command reception processing S1300)
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the command reception process in step S1300. Here, processing related to the feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and description of the configuration unrelated to the feature of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S1301)
First, the command receiving means 332 determines whether or not the received command is an input command. As a result, if the received command is a submission command, the process proceeds to step S1302, and if the received command is not a submission command, the process proceeds to step S1303.

(Step S1302)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1301 is a throw-in command, the effect control means 334 determines that the effect that has been executed up to that point has been executed under the predetermined condition, assuming that the game start preparation for the next game has been performed. The effect based on the input command is set in the time table.

(Step S1303)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether or not the received command is a winning type command. As a result, if the received command is a winning type command, it is assumed that one game has been started, and the process proceeds to step S1304. If the received command is not a winning type command, the process proceeds to step S1306.

(Step S1304)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1303 is a winning type command, the effect control means 334 determines a game effect based on the winning type command. In addition, the production control means 334 determines an auxiliary production informing the correct operation mode when the production state is the AT production state and the winning type indicated in the winning type command is the selected winning type. Also, if the winning type command indicates that the reel effect is to be executed, the effect corresponding to the reel effect is determined. The effect determination process S1304 will be described later.

(Step S1305)
Next, the effect control means 334 starts executing the determined effect. For example, if the determined effect is an auxiliary effect, the effect control unit 334 sets the auxiliary effect in the time table.

(Step S1306)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether or not the received command is a stop command. As a result, if the received command is a stop command, the process proceeds to step S1307, and if the received command is not a stop command, the process proceeds to step S1308.

(Step S1307)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1306 is a stop command, the effect control means 334 determines whether the stop command is a first stop command, a second stop command, or a third stop command, The stop operation is determined to be one of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c, and various processes are performed based on the determination result and the content of the effect, and the time table is set in the time table. The production mode is changed.

(Step S1308)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether the received command is a winning command. As a result, if the received command is a winning command, the process proceeds to step S1309. If the received command is not a winning command, the process proceeds to step S1310.

(Step S1309)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1308 is a winning command, the effect control means 334 sets the effect based on the winning command in the time table.

(Step S1310)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether or not the received command is a payout command. As a result, if the received command is a payout command, the process proceeds to step S1311. If the received command is not a payout command, the command reception process S1300 is terminated.

(Step S1311)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1310 is a payout command, effect control means 334 sets an effect based on the payout command in the time table, and ends the command receiving process S1300.

(Production determination process S1304)
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the effect determination process in step S1304. Here, in particular, an effect when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery in the non-specific effect state will be described in detail, and the description of the configuration unrelated to the features of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S1304-1)
The effect control means 334 determines whether or not the winning type indicated in the received winning type command is the winning type “Replay 1”. As a result, if the winning type is “Replay 1”, the process proceeds to Step S1304-2, and if it is not the winning type “Replay 1”, the effect determining process S1304 ends.

(Step S1304-2)
If it is determined in step S1304-1 that the winning type is “Replay 1”, the effect control means 334 determines whether or not the effect state managed in the main control board 200 is a non-specific effect state. As a result, if it is a non-specific effect state, the process proceeds to step S1304-3, and if it is not a non-specific effect state, that is, if it is a specific effect state, the effect determination process S1304 is terminated.

(Step S1304-3)
If it determines with it being a non-specific effect state in step S1304-2, the effect control means 334 will determine execution of a special effect, and will complete | finish the said effect determination process S1304.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described referring an accompanying drawing, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to this embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention. Is done.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the state transition unit 312 has been described as an example of managing the gaming state and the effect state in the main control board 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the state transition unit 312 may be the sub control board. In 202, the gaming state and the production state may be managed. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 are arranged so as to share the functional parts for proceeding with the game. However, the functional parts of the main control board 200 (initializing means 300, Bet means 302, winning type lottery means 304, reel control means 306, determination means 308, payout control means 310, state transition means 312, command determination means 314, command transmission means 316, external output means 318, etc.) Alternatively, the function units (initialization determining means 330, command receiving means 332, effect control means 334, etc.) of the sub control board 202 may be arranged on the main control board 200, and all the function parts may be arranged. It is also possible to arrange them collectively on one control board.

  In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the AT effect state ends when the set number of continuous games is reached. However, the AT effect state that can receive the assist effect is not limited to this case. Achieving auxiliary effects such as reaching the number of times of navigation, which is the number of games for notifying the correct operation mode, reaching the set number of payouts, or reaching the set number of payouts (number of payouts-number of input) It may be ended by digesting various game opportunities that can be received. In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that in each effect state where an auxiliary effect can be received, the number of continuous games is added and a lottery is performed, and the number of continuous games is extended by winning, but only in such a case. First, various lotteries for changing the end condition of the production state, such as increasing or decreasing the number of various game opportunities that can receive the auxiliary production, can be performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the winning type “Replay 1” (specific winning type) is won by the winning type lottery during the specific effect state, the third AT normal effect as a game profit until the specific effect state ends. On the other hand, when the winning type “Replay 1” is won by the winning type lottery during the non-specific effect state, the state is shifted to the third AT normal effect state as a gaming profit during the non-specific effect state. I made it. However, the game profit may be another game profit such as a stock in the second AT normal performance state or a transition to the AT special performance state (so-called special zone).

  In the above-described embodiment, the specific effect state is not limited to the AT effect state, but may be a non-AT chance effect state (non-AT effect state) other than the AT effect state.

  In the above-described embodiment, the transition condition of the production state is only an example, and the production state may be shifted according to other transition conditions.

  Further, the processes performed by the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 described above do not necessarily have to be processed in time series in the order described in the flowchart, and may include processes in parallel or by a subroutine.
