In each internal lottery table, each of a plurality of random numbers (for example, 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535) is associated with various combinations such as replays, small roles, bonuses, and losing. .

  3 to 5 are internal lottery tables that are selected when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT3 state, the bonus establishment state, the CB operation in the non-RT state to the RT3 state, and the BB operation state. It is a figure which shows A-internal lottery table J. FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E selected when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT3 state and the bonus establishment state are the winning probabilities of the winning areas including small roles. Are set as the same, and as the winning area including small roles, the winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 6”, the winning area “common bell role”, the winning area “rare role”, Random numbers are associated with the winning area “Missing role”. In addition, in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D selected when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT3 state, a winning area that is a winning area for winning a CB as a bonus prepared in the present embodiment. “CB” and a winning area “BB”, which is a winning area for winning BB, are set as lottery targets. On the other hand, in the internal lottery table E that is selected when the bonus is established, which is a gaming state that shifts when BB is won, the winning area “CB” and the winning area “BB” in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D are selected. The random number associated with "" is associated with the loss (unauthorized).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the internal lottery table F selected when the gaming state is the BB operation state, a random number is associated with the winning area “JAC” as a winning area including a small role. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the internal lottery table G to the internal lottery table J selected during the CB operation in the non-RT state to the RT3 state are the internal lottery tables selected in the current RT state. Random numbers are associated with the replay that can be won in the current RT state, the winning area “CB”, and the winning area “BB”.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, bells, special small roles 1 to special small roles 6, rare roles, and missed roles as winning small roles (hereinafter referred to as “winning roles”). As a winning area (winning mode) for a small role where a plurality of types of winning combinations are won, a winning area “batting order bell 1” to a winning area “batting order bell 6” are set.

  Here, the “batting order” means the order in which the pressing operation is performed on the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, and includes six hitting orders of the hitting order 1 to the hitting order 6. In the slot machine 1 of the present 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. For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  The batting order 1 is a batting order referred to as a so-called forward push in which a stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B2, and the stop button B3. The batting order 2 is a batting order called so-called scissors, in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B3, and the stop button B2. The batting order 3 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B1, and the stop button B3. The batting order 4 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B3, and the stop button B1.

Also described as the third stop operation that depresses either the ~ stop button B3.

  The winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is a winning area in which the bell and any one of the special small roles 1 to 6 overlap. Here, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”, the bell is pressed at the timing of pressing each stop button. For example, when the winning combination is a winning combination in the winning area “batting order bell 1”, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1, the winning combination is made. In addition, special small role 1 to special small role 6 are pressed by stop button B1 to stop button B3 in a batting order other than the batting order that can win a bell when winning in winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6”. It is a winning combination that can be won when operated and when each stop button is pressed appropriately. For example, when the winning area “batting order bell 1” is won, any one of batting order 2 to 6 When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the order of hitting and the pressing timing of each stop button is appropriate, a prize is awarded.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pushed down in a batting order in which the bell cannot be won when winning the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”. In addition, when each stop button is pressed down at a pressing timing at which the special small combination 1 to special small combination 6 cannot be won, a missing (non-winning) that does not win any combination occurs. Further, in the following description, the batting order in which the bells can be won when winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is also referred to as correct answer batting order. In addition, a batting order in which a bell cannot be won at the time of winning from the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is also described as an incorrect answer batting order.

  The winning area “common bell role” is configured such that a bell can be won and the bell can win regardless of the order of hitting and the timing of pressing. In addition, the winning area “rare role” is configured so that a rare role can be won regardless of the batting order and pressing timing, and the probability of winning is lower than the winning area including other small roles. It is configured as follows. In addition, the winning area “Missing and winning” is configured so that the winning combination can be won when the timing of pressing the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate. If the pressing timing is a pressing timing at which the winning combination cannot be won, no winning combination is made (no winning).

  FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a winning area of a small combination that can be won in the BB operating state. As shown in FIG. 6 (B), JAC is all of the small combinations that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT3 state and the bonus establishment state of the bell, the special small role 1 to the special small role 6, the rare role and the missing role. It is a winning area that is won in duplicate. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area “JAC” is won, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest payout number at the time of winning wins with priority over other roles. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. As a result, when the winning area “JAC” is won, the bell wins regardless of the stop order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 and the pressing timing.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the winning area including the replay, the winning area “normal replay” and the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 12”. ”, Winning area“ specific batting order replay 1A ”to winning area“ specific batting order replay 1C ”, winning area“ specific batting order replay 2A ”to winning area“ specific batting order replay 2C ”, winning area“ specific batting order replay 3A ”to winning area “Specific batting order replay 3C” and winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to winning area “specific batting order replay 4C” and winning area “rare replay” are set. In the following, the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 1C”, the winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 2C”, and the winning area “specific batting order replay 3A” to The winning area “specific batting order replay 3C” and the winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 4C” are also described as the winning area “specific batting order replay”.

As shown in FIG. 7, the winning area “normal replay” is configured so that the normal replay is won and the normal replay can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. The winning area “rare replay” is configured so that the player can win the rare replay and win the rare replay regardless of the order of hitting and the timing of pressing. In addition, the winning area “rare replay” is set such that the winning probability is lower than any winning area of the winning areas including replays that can be won in each internal lottery table.

  The winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” wins the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay, and each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”. RT2 transition replay wins when stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed in the hit order set to, and normal replay occurs when stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed in any other hit order Won the prize. The winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” wins the RT1 transition replay and the RT3 transition replay, and the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12”. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed down in the respective batting order, the RT3 transition replay is won, and when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed down in the other batting order, the RT1 Transition replay wins.

  The winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 1C” are won in duplicate for the normal replay and the specific replay 1 and the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay”. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the order set in each of the “1C”, the specific replay 1 is won, and when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the other order The normal replay wins. The winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 2C” is won in duplicate for the normal replay and the specific replay 2 and the winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay”. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the order set in each of the “2C”, the specific replay 2 wins, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the other order The normal replay wins. The winning area “specific batting order replay 3A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 3C” wins in duplicate for the normal replay and the specific replay 3, and the winning area “specific batting order replay 3A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay”. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the order of hitting set to “3C”, the specific replay 3 wins, and when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed down in the other hit order The normal replay wins. The winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 4C” wins in duplicate for the normal replay and the specific replay 4 and the winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay”. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the order set in each of the “4C”, the specific replay 4 wins, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the other order The normal replay wins.

  In addition, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” and the winning area “specific batting order replay” are configured so that the winning mode of overlapping winning is different. Specifically, in the winning area “batting order replay 1”, the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay are won, and the winning area “batting order replay 2” is the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and other replays. Special Replay 1 with a different symbol combination indicating the winning pattern (hereinafter also referred to as “winning symbol combination”) is won repeatedly, and the winning area “batting order replay 3” is for normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and other replays. And special replay 2 with different winning symbol combinations, and the winning area “batting order replay 4” includes normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and special replay 3 with different winning symbol combinations from other replays, Is a winning combination, and the winning area “batting order replay 5” has different winning symbol combinations for normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and other replays. The special replay 4 is won in duplicate, and the winning area “batting order replay 6” is configured so that the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 5 having a different winning symbol combination from other replays are won. Has been. Also, the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is substantially the same as the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”. By being configured so that a plurality of special replays are also won in a winning manner, the winning mode for overlapping winning in the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is configured to be different.

  In addition, in the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A”, the normal replay and the specific replay 1 are selected and the winning area “specific batting order replay 1B” includes the normal replay, the specific replay 1 and the special replay 1 The winning area “specific batting order replay 1C” is configured such that the normal replay, the specific replay 1 and the special replay 2 are repeatedly won. Also, the winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 2C”, the winning area “specific batting order replay 3A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 3C”, and the winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to the winning area “ The “specific batting order replay 4C” also wins one or more special replays from the special replay 1 to the special replay 2 in the same manner as the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 1C”. The winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 2C”, the winning area “specific batting order replay 3A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 3C” and the winning area “specific batting order replay 4A”. ”To the winning area“ specific batting order replay 4C ”, the winning mode for overlapping winning is different. It is configured to. It should be noted that the reel control means 130, which will be described later, has the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in any hit order and pressing timing when the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is won by the internal lottery means 120. Even when pressed, the reel stop control is executed so that the winning symbol combinations of special replay 1 to special replay 5 are not displayed.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, a random number (lottery random number) generated by the random number generation unit 110 for each game is acquired, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. Compared with the lottery table, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is won based on the comparison result.

  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-established state (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 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 the established state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next game until winning, and carry over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to a non-established state is prepared. BB is associated with the former carry-over possible flag, and CB among the small combination, replay, and bonus is associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, when BB is won in the internal lottery, a process of carrying over the established state of the BB lottery flag until the BB wins is performed. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not the small role and replay are true even in a game in which the establishment state of the BB lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when a small role or replay is won in a game in which the establishment state of the BB lottery flag is carried over, the lottery flag of the already won BB and the small lottery won by the internal lottery A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations consisting of a combination and a replay lottery flag is set to the established state. Note that the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets all the small lottery flags in the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery when the CB is operating.

  The reel control means 130 is driven by the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that operates when the player performs a start operation on the start lever SL. The rotation drive of is started. In addition, the reel control means 130, when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is a rotation state in which the rotation is steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm), the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel Control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the stop button B3 is pressed is executed. The reel control means 130 stops supplying the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Then, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a manner corresponding to the lottery flag setting state, that is, the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed. Thus, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position. As described above, the reel control unit 130 starts to rotate the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which is the symbol variation display unit, based on the detection of the start operation by the start switch 230, and visually recognizes it through the display window DW. The symbols of the reels to be displayed are variably displayed, and the reels being rotated are stopped based on the detection of the stop operation by the stop switch 240 and the result of the internal lottery, and each of the variably being displayed visually viewed through the display window DW is displayed. Reel stop control is performed to stop and display the design of the reel. The reel control means 130 constitutes symbol variation control means in the present embodiment, and the reel stop control constitutes symbol variation stop control in the present embodiment.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, 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 button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. The reel is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed based on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. Up to 4 frames can be rotated up to this point. 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 valid when the position is within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line L1 at the time when the operation is pressed. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

  Therefore, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combinations of the winning combinations that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 such as the bell and each replay described above are the first reel R1 to the first reel. Each of the three reels R3 is arranged within a displayable range from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. In particular, for the symbols that can be displayed on the third reel R3 among the winning symbol combinations of the bell, the timing of pressing the stop button B3 even when the CB is activated when the maximum number of sliding symbols on the third reel R3 is one frame. It is arranged so that it can be displayed regardless.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing symbols arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a red 7 symbol “red 7”, a black BAR symbol “black BAR”, a replay symbol “RP”, a bell symbol “BL”, star symbol A “STA”, star symbol B “STB”, star symbol C “STC”, star symbol D “STD”, star symbol E “STE”, and blank symbol “BLK” are arranged. The star symbol A “STA”, the star symbol B “STB”, the star symbol C “STC”, the star symbol D “STD”, and the star symbol E “STE” have similarities that the player can recognize as the same symbol. It is configured as follows. Further, 20 frames of symbols are arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and any one of stop numbers 0 to 19 is assigned.

  Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time) is set. Then, when the reel control means 130 receives a start signal from the start switch 230 within a period from the setting of the standby time until the standby time elapses, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 after the standby time has elapsed. Is configured to start rotation. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start a game after a minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a certain time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. .

  The reel control unit 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190, so that the reel control unit 130 rotates. Table reference processing for determining the stop position is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated, that is, when the pressing operation 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 five frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output once has been rotated when the photo sensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reel reference position at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor). To get. 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 the logic calculation process, 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, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the winning state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having the higher priority according to the priority order associated with each winning combination. The priorities of the candidates are determined so that the priorities of the candidates are higher than the candidates of the stop positions including the symbols constituting the winning form of the role having a low priority. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT3 state, the bonus establishment state or the BB operation state, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. That is, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has priority over the small role and bonus when the reel play control is executed when the CB is inactive and the replay and the small role or bonus are won. The symbols constituting the winning symbol combination are stopped on the active line L1. Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CB is in operation, priorities are determined in the order of “small role> replay> bonus”. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when performing the reel stop control when the CB is in operation, if the winning combination overlaps with the small role and the replay or bonus, the small size is given priority over the replay and bonus. The symbols constituting the winning winning symbol combination are stopped on the active line L1.

  Note that, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery, the method of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line L1. There are a method for obtaining the priority and a method for obtaining the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a payout predetermined for the small role. When the priority of the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the priority is higher at a stop position where the number of winning symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1 is larger. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so as to be higher. In addition, when the priority of the stop position candidates is obtained according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small role corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is, the higher the stop position becomes, that is, the stop position where a small combination with a large payout can be won. However, when determining the priority of stop position candidates according to the number of paid-out medals, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, each of the small positions can be won. Candidate priorities are treated as the same.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining reel stop position candidates. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates 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 combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state in a winning form, while the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so that it does not stop.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CB wins, the reel control means 130 starts from when the stop button B3 is pressed for the third reel R3 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the rotating third reel R3 within 75 ms. When stopping a rotating reel within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel depends on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel until the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It can be rotated up to one frame.

  In the reel stop control during the CB operation, the reel control unit 130 selects at least one predetermined reel among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 within 75 ms from when the stop button is pressed. In this embodiment, the third reel is controlled within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop R3, but the stop switch 240 detects that the stop button corresponding to another reel such as the first reel R1 or the second reel R2 has been pressed, and the reel stop signal Will stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when is output from the stop switch 240 The reel stop control may be executed at the same time, and the number of reels set to stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 is one. There may be more than one.

  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, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, the display is made on the active line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination that has been set is a predetermined winning combination. The winning combination is determined so that the presence / absence of winning of CB, BB, replay, and small role can be determined (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”) based on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 in a state where each reel is stopped. A table is provided.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination unit 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the winning combination determination result, for example, when a small combination wins, a process for determining the number of medals to be paid out to the payout control means 150 is performed, and when a replay wins. Causes the replay processing means 160 to execute processing without consuming medals in the next game, and when the bonus is won, processing for operating the bonus is performed to the gaming state transition control means 170.

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

  In the present embodiment, the payout for the small combination is set to be different in the number of payouts for the case of the first specified input number and the case of the second specified input number. When the specified number of insertions is set to the first specified number of inputs, the bell payout is set to nine, which is larger than the first specified number of inputs, and the rare role payout is less than the first specified input number2. The payouts for the special small combination 1 to special small combination 6 and the missed combination are set to one, which is smaller than the first specified number of throws. In addition, when the specified number of insertions is set to the second specified number of insertions, the bell payout is set to 14 sheets, which is larger than the second specified number of inputs, and the rare role payout is the same as the second specified input number. The payouts for special small combination 1 to special small combination 6 and missed combination are set to one smaller than the second specified number of throws.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. In the case where credits for medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 (credited) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of medals is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  The replay processing unit 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating the replay winning of any one of a plurality of types of replay roles described later is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the winning determination unit 140, and when the replay wins, A replay process (re-game process) is set for the next game, which is set to a ready state in which the game can be executed without requiring medal insertion. That is, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion process is performed in which medals for a predetermined number of insertions are automatically inserted without using a player's own medals (including credit medals). In the state where the same effective line L1 as the previous game is set, the next start operation for the start lever SL is waited.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 performs RT state transition control processing for shifting the gaming state between the non-RT state to the RT3 state and the bonus establishment state, and changes the winning mode of replay, and reel stop control by the reel control means 130. When the winning winning symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1, the game state transition control is performed with the bonus operation control process for operating the bonus displayed on the active line L1.

  FIG. 9A is a state transition diagram showing gaming states that can be shifted from each gaming state in the gaming state transition control executed by the gaming state transition control means 170. In the following description, a state in which the CB is not operating among the non-RT state to the RT3 state is collectively referred to as a “non-bonus state”.

  First, the details of the control process for shifting the gaming state between the non-bonus states in the RT state transition control process will be described. As shown in FIG. 9A, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is won, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed, and the reel control means 130 performs the reel operation. When the symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small combination, replay, and bonus is displayed on the active line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be shifted from the non-RT state, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state, and a transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the order in which the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the transition is made to the RT2 state. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state that shifts when the winning symbol combination of RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. The transition from the RT2 state to the RT1 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the order in which the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won and the RT1 transition replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, and any of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is When the winning button is pressed and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, the symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small role, replay, and bonus is placed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. When it is displayed, it shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT2 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the hitting order in which the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won and the RT3 transition replay can be won, When the winning symbol combination of RT3 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the RT2 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C in which the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  The RT3 state is a gaming state that transitions when the winning symbol combination of RT3 transition replay is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT2 state. A transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, any one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” wins, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed, and the reel control means 130 performs a small stop control. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any combination of the combination, replay and bonus is displayed on the active line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT3 state, there is no lost winning area that does not win any combination, and the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.4, so that any of the small combination, replay, or bonus An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D set with a very high probability of winning.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming state is changed between the non-RT state and the RT3 state, thereby realizing different gaming properties in each gaming state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal is paid excessively by suppressing the frequency of transition to the RT1 state in which a normal game is executed and the RT3 state in which the winning probability of replay is high. Realize different gameplay in RT2 state to prevent replay and RT3 state that can win with a very high probability of either a small role, replay or bonus in each game by winning with high probability Yes.

  Next, RT state transition control processing for shifting the gaming state from the non-RT state to the RT3 state to the bonus establishment state among the gaming state transition control processing executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The game state transition control means 170 is an RT state transition control for transitioning the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when the winning area “BB” is won in the internal lottery in the game in the non-RT state to the RT3 state. Execute the process. Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the non-RT state to the bonus establishment state when, for example, the winning area “BB” is won in the internal lottery in the non-RT state. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area “BB” is won and BB does not win, the game in the bonus establishment state is executed in the subsequent games until BB wins. In the bonus establishment state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table has a lower replay winning probability than the RT3 state in which the probability of winning either a small role, replay or bonus in the internal lottery is set to be extremely high. The internal lottery is executed using the. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area “BB” is won in the internal lottery, the lottery flag is carried over in the established state until BB wins. For this reason, in the slot machine 1, when a small combination or replay is won in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state, the small combination and BB or replay and BB are overlapped. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, in the non-bonus state and the bonus establishment state, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. Also, in the slot machine 1, the special small roles 1 to 6 that are won when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, and the special small roles 1 to special that are won in the winning of the missing role are selected. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down at the pressing timing at which the small combination 6 and the winning combination cannot be won, the winning combination is such that none of the winning combinations is won (non-winning).

  For this reason, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the winning probability of replay in the bonus establishment state is set to be lower than the winning probability of replay in the RT3 state, so that the internal lottery can result in a loss (unwinning). By doing so, it is configured so that a state where BB is won independently can occur. As a result, in the slot machine 1, when the internal lottery is lost in the bonus establishment state, it is possible to win a bonus in which the lottery flag continues to be established.

  Next, of the bonus operation control processing executed by the game state transition control means 170, processing executed when BB wins will be described. When the BB winning symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the gaming state transition control means 170 changes the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the BB operation state as a bonus operation control process. The control process to be transferred is executed. When transitioning to the BB operating state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) that is a counter included in the counter storage means 198 provided in the storage means 190. From the BB operating state, it is possible to shift to the non-RT state. Specifically, in the BB operation state, more than 441 medals are paid out, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter is a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (a value in this embodiment). When “441”) is reached, the non-RT state is entered. In the BB operation state, the winning area “JAC” is set as the winning area of the small role, and an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table F set to win the winning area “JAC” with a very high probability.

  Next, of the bonus operation control process executed by the game state transition control means 170, a process executed when the CB has won a prize will be described. FIGS. 10F and 10G are diagrams showing a part of symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display window DW when winning CB and BB, which are bonuses of the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment. It is. As shown in FIG. 10F, the winning symbol combination of CB is “RP-BL-BL” which is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. As shown in FIG. 8, the replay symbols “RP” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1. That is, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of CB are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 allows the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any striking order and pressing timing when the winning area “CB” is selected. The symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of CB can be displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control executed on the basis of the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 when is pressed. In the game won in the winning area “CB”, the CB always wins and the CB operates.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (G), the winning symbol combination of BB is “red 7-red 7-red 7” which is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. As shown in FIG. 8, on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, the red 7 symbol “red 7” is arranged in the frame assigned the stop number 19. In addition, on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2, red 7 symbols “red 7” are arranged on the frame assigned the stop number 4 and the frame assigned the stop number 19. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3, a red 7 symbol “red 7” is arranged in a frame assigned the stop number 4 and a frame assigned the stop number 8. That is, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of BB are arranged in one frame out of 20 frames on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, and 20 symbols on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2 and the third reel R3. Arranged in two frames.

  For this reason, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area “BB” is won by the internal lottery, and when the game state is a bonus establishment state, the stop button Among the 20 frames assigned to the first reel R1, the timing at which B1 is pressed is a star symbol A “STA” assigned stop number 3 to a bell symbol “BL” assigned stop number 0, One of the five symbols of red 7 symbol “red 7” to which stop number 19 is assigned is in a state of being rotated on the effective line L1, and the pressing timing of stop button B2 is the second Among the 20 frames of symbols assigned to reel R2, bell symbols “BL” assigned stop number 8 to red 7 symbols “red 7” assigned stop number 4 One of the symbols of the frame, or the bell symbol “BL” assigned the stop number 3 to the blank symbol “BLK” assigned the stop number 0, the red symbol “red” assigned the stop number 19 7 ”is a state in which any one of the symbols of the five frames is displayed in rotation on the active line L1, and the pressing timing of the stop button B3 is the symbol of the 20 frames allocated to the third reel R3. One of the nine symbols from the blank symbol “BLK” to which the stop number 12 is assigned to the red 7 symbol “red 7” to which the stop number 4 is assigned is rotated and displayed on the effective line L1. BB can be won in the state, and if the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at other timings, any combination is won. And it is configured so as to have missed (not winning).

  As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the winning symbol combination of CB is “RP-BL-BL”, and in the game won in the winning area “CB”, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3. The CB is awarded regardless of the pressing timing of. Further, the game state transition control means 170 activates the CB when the winning symbol combination of CB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130.

  When the CB is activated, the game state transition control means 170 ends the CB when one game is executed. Further, the game state transition control means 170 is configured not to change the game state based on the operation of the CB when the CB operates. For example, when the CB is won in the state where the gaming state is the RT2 state and the CB is activated based on the winning of the CB, the gaming state transition control means 170 keeps the RT2 state which is the current gaming state, while maintaining the CB. Operate.

  During the CB operation, the gaming state transition control unit 170 causes the internal lottery unit 120 to refer to the internal lottery table corresponding to the case where the CB operates in the current gaming state. For example, when the gaming state is in the RT1 state, the gaming state transition control means 170 is stored in the internal lottery table B (see FIG. 3) referred to when the gaming state is in the RT1 state. The internal lottery table H (see FIG. 5) which is a corresponding internal lottery table is referred to. As shown in FIG. 5, the internal lottery table G to the internal lottery table J correspond to the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, respectively. The winning mode and the bonus winning mode are common.

  That is, the internal lottery means 120, in the internal lottery during the CB operation, the winning area “CB” that is the winning area including the bonus and the winning area “BB”, even though the bonus CB is operating. It is configured to be elected.

  Then, when the CB is in operation, the internal lottery means 120 sets the lottery flags of all the small roles in the established state (ON state) regardless of the result of the internal lottery. As described above, the reel control means 130 of the present embodiment is configured to stop the winning symbol combination of the small role on the effective line L1 in preference to the replay and bonus by the reel stop control when the CB is operating. ing. In addition, as described above, the winning symbol combination of the bell can be displayed regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3 even when the CB operation is performed in which the maximum number of sliding frames of the third reel R3 is one frame. It is a symbol combination having. For this reason, the slot machine 1 is configured to be able to win a bell regardless of the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 and the order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 when the CB is operating. The game is executed in a state where the CB is activated, so that the player can surely acquire medals.

  Next, the payout rate in each gaming state controlled by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. Here, the payout rate is a state in which a small combination with the highest payout among the small combinations won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 is surely won (all small combinations are acquired), and the temporary probability bias When a predetermined number of games (for example, 17500 games), which is a number of games that can sufficiently ignore the influence of the game, is executed, a predetermined number of medals inserted during a predetermined number of games This is the ratio of the total number of medals paid out during the number of games. In addition, acquiring all small roles means that you will win the bells when you win the winning area “Bat Order Bell 1” to the winning area “Bat Order Bell 6”, and you will surely win the rare role when you win the winning area “Rare Role”. This means that a winning combination is made and a winning combination is surely won when winning the winning area “Missing role”.

  In this embodiment, in the non-RT state to the RT2 state where the winning probability of replay is as low as about 1 / 7.3, the payout rate is set to less than 1. In other words, the non-RT state to the RT2 state as the first gaming state are set such that the total number of medals inserted is larger than the total number of medals paid out when a predetermined number of games are executed. . On the other hand, in the RT3 state as the second gaming state where the winning probability of replay is high, the total number of games of the game that acquires all the small roles in the RT3 state, the game in the CB operation, and the game in the BB operation state Is set to be 1 or more when the predetermined number of games is reached.

  Then, the winning probability of CB as a specific bonus and the number of medals paid out during CB operation are obtained by subtracting the total number of medals inserted from the total number of medals when a predetermined number of games are executed in the RT3 state. The value is set to be less than twice the number of games executed. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sum of the number of games of the game in which all the small roles are acquired in the RT3 state, the game in the CB operation, and the game in the BB operation state becomes a predetermined number of games. Is set to be 1 or more and less than 2.0, which is the number of medals earned per game (a value obtained by subtracting the number of coins inserted from the number of payouts).

  The effect control means 180 is based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195 of the storage means 190, for example, a display effect performed using the display device 330 or an audio effect performed using the audio device 340. Control related to the production. Specifically, when the player operates the respective components of the slot machine 1 for the operation of the medal insertion, the single bet button BT, the maximum bet button MB, the start lever SL, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, or the like When a game event such as a state change occurs, the first reel is turned on or blinking, the display content of the display device 330 is changed, the sound is output from the speaker, and the start signal is output from the start switch 230. By performing an effect using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that delays the start of rotation of the R1 to the third reel R3, an effect for exciting the game or an execution control for assisting the game is performed. .

  Further, the effect control means 180 causes each component constituting the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 acquires a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation means 110 for each lottery process using random numbers, and stores it in the effect lottery table storage means 196 of the storage means 190. Each lottery process is executed using an effect lottery table necessary for each lottery process among the plurality of effect lottery tables.

  In addition, when the gaming state shifts to the BB operation state, the effect control unit 180 executes an effect associated with the operation of the bonus according to the state executed by the AT state control unit 200 described later. On the other hand, when the CB is activated, the effect control means 180 does not execute the effect associated with the operation of the bonus, but executes the effect corresponding to the effect executed in the previous game, that is, in the present embodiment. The slot machine 1 is configured so as not to notify that the CB has been activated. With this configuration, the slot machine 1 ensures that the CB wins when the winning area “CB” is won, so that the production is switched each time the CB is activated, and the production is shredded. It can prevent that the interest with respect to a production falls.

  The AT state control means 200 includes an assist time state (hereinafter referred to as “AT”) in which a winning assist control for assisting the winning of a specific combination is executed, and a non-assist time state in which the winning assist control is not executed. Control related to transition between (non-AT state) is executed. In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 is an internal lottery means as a control for increasing the probability that a specific winning combination wins in the AT state, when winning in an internal lottery for winning areas having different winning combinations depending on the batting order. The winning winning control, which is a control for creating different winning commands according to the winning area won in 120, is executed, and the created winning command is transmitted to the main control display device 500, so that it is won in the internal lottery. A notification display for notifying which winning area is the winning area is executed on the main control display device 500. Here, the winning areas subject to winning assistance control include the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”, and the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 12”. It is. In addition, the specific role that increases the probability of winning by winning assist control is the winning bell of winning area “bat order bell 1” to winning area “bat order bell 6”, winning area “bat order replay 1” to winning area “bat order replay 6”. RT2 transition replay at the time of winning, and RT3 transition replay at the time of winning from the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12”.

  Further, when the AT state is being executed by the AT state control means 200, the effect control means 180 performs a winning assist effect that is an effect for assisting the winning of the specific role based on the winning command transmitted from the internal lottery means 120. Run. For example, when the winning command indicating that the winning area “batting order bell 1” has been won in the internal lottery is transmitted from the internal lottery means 120, the rendering control unit 180 determines the correct batting order that can win the bell. The winning assistance effect informed by is executed.

  The AT state control unit 200 executes control processing in the non-AT state and the AT state using each data stored in the state control data storage unit 197 of the storage unit 190. Specifically, the AT state control unit 200 performs a lottery table for comparison with random numbers acquired from the random number generation unit 110, for example, when performing an AT lottery that is a lottery for determining whether to execute the AT state. The AT lottery table is acquired from the state control data storage means 197 and AT lottery is executed. The state control data storage unit 197 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state when the AT state control unit 200 executes the control process in the non-AT state and the AT state.

  FIG. 9B is a diagram showing details of the non-AT state and the AT state executed by the AT state control means 200. As shown in FIG. 9B, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is controlled by the AT state control means 200 as a state controlled by the AT state control means 200. And have. The AT state includes a normal non-assist time state (normal non-AT state) and a chance zone state (CZ state). In the AT state, the AT preparation that is executed first when the AT state is started. There are provided a state, a first AT state that starts after the end of the AT preparation state, and a second AT state that starts after the end of the first AT state.

  First, the non-AT state where the winning assist control is not executed will be described. The normal non-AT state is a non-AT state where the winning assist control is not executed and is a state executed when the CZ state is not executed, and is a state that continues until another state is started. In the normal non-AT state, the AT state control means 200 determines a predetermined lottery condition such as when a predetermined predetermined winning combination is won or when a predetermined number of games are executed. When the above is established, the CZ lottery for determining whether or not to execute the CZ state is determined by lottery. In the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment, the CZ lottery is executed when the winning area “rare replay” is won by internal lottery as a predetermined lottery condition.

  In addition, the AT state control means 200 performs, as a predetermined lottery condition, an AT lottery that determines whether or not to execute the AT state by lottery when the winning area “rare role” is won by internal lottery. Run. In the present embodiment, the AT state control unit 200 may change from the non-AT state to the AT state when a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000 games) are executed without shifting from the non-AT state to the AT state. You may be comprised so that it may transfer to a state.

  The CZ state is a state that is executed when the CZ lottery is won in the normal non-AT state, and has a higher probability of determining execution of the AT state than the normal non-AT state. In the CZ state, the AT state control means 200 sets a value (for example, 10 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in a CZ end determination counter (not shown) of the counter storage means 198 at the start of the CZ state. Until the game is executed, it is configured to execute an AT lottery to determine whether or not to determine the execution of the AT state for each game, and the winning area “rare role” having a low winning probability is configured. It is in a state where it is easier to shift to the AT state than the normal non-AT state where the AT lottery is executed only when winning. The AT state control means 200 ends the CZ state and starts the AT state when execution of the AT state is determined by the AT lottery until the value stored in the CZ end determination counter reaches the value “0”. If execution of the AT state is not determined by AT lottery when the value stored in the CZ end determination counter reaches the value “0”, the CZ state is ended and the normal non-AT state is started.

  Next, the AT state in which winning assistance control is executed will be described. In the AT state, as described above, when an internal lottery wins a winning area having a different winning combination depending on the batting order, winning assistance control is executed by the AT state control means 200, and winning assistance effect is given by the effect control means 180. Is executed. Specifically, the AT state control means 200 wins at the time of winning the winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6” and winning area “batting order replay 1” to winning area “batting order replay 12”. Auxiliary control is executed.

  When the winning assistance control is executed, the main control display device 500 shows the correct answer order in which the bells can be won in the slot machine 1 when the winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6” is won. The main control display device 500 notifies the batting order in which the RT2 transition replay can be won at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”, and the winning area “batting order replay 7” When the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won, the main control display device 500 notifies the batting order that the RT3 transition replay can be won. For this reason, the AT state is advantageous for the player in terms of paying out medals by making it easier for the player to win medals and increasing the probability of transitioning to a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is high. ing.

  As described above, in the RT3 state, the small role, replay or bonus is always won, and the replay winning probability is set higher than in the non-RT state to the RT2 state. In other words, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the AT state is started and the batting order capable of winning the RT2 transition replay is notified when the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and the batting order capable of winning the RT3 transition replay is notified when the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the RT2 state to the RT3 state. Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the correct answer order is notified at the time of winning from the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”. Thus, it is possible to prevent a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small roles, replays and bonuses from being stopped and displayed on the active line L1, and the gaming state is changed from the RT2 state or the RT3 state. Transition to the RT1 state can be prevented. In the slot machine 1, since the RT3 state is maintained by executing the winning assist control, the game in the AT state is executed in a state where the replay is won with higher probability than the other game states. It has become.

  Thus, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment assists the gaming state transition control means 170 to shift the gaming state to the RT3 state by executing the winning assist control when the AT state is being executed. Is configured to do. In the present embodiment, the non-RT state to the RT2 state constitute the first gaming state, the RT3 state constitutes the second gaming state, and the winning symbol combination is placed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. The winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay that triggers the transition of the gaming state to the RT3 state when displayed constitutes a specific symbol combination.

  The AT ready state is when the AT state execution is determined in the AT lottery that is normally executed in the non-AT state and the CZ state, or when the game of 1000 games is executed without shifting from the non-AT state to the AT state. It is a state to be started. The AT state control means 200 continues the AT preparation state until the gaming state shifts to the RT3 state, and when the gaming state shifts to the RT3 state, ends the AT preparation state and starts the first AT state. Thereby, the AT state control means 200 is configured to be able to execute the first AT state in the RT3 state. In the present embodiment, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won by internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, but the stop button B1 has a batting order different from the batting order notified by the winning assistance control. When the stop button B3 is pressed, the AT state control means 200 ends the AT preparation state and starts the first AT state even if the gaming state is not shifted to the RT3 state. In addition, when the gaming state is the RT2 state, the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, but the batting order different from the batting order notified by the winning assist control is stopped. Even when the button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, the AT state control means 200 ends the AT preparation state and starts the first AT state even if the gaming state is not shifted to the RT3 state. As a result, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the start of the first AT state is intentionally hindered, the game in the AT state is continued for a long time in a manner unintended by the game machine designer. Can be prevented from being damaged.

  The first AT state is an AT state that is started after the AT preparation state ends and determines the number of games to be executed in the second AT state. It is also an additional special state in which the number of games to be added (added) to the number of games executed in the second AT state is determined after shifting from the 2AT state.

  In the first AT state, the AT state control means 200 converts the winning area “rare replay” and the winning area “specific batting order replay” (hereinafter referred to as the winning area “rare replay” and the winning area “specific batting order replay”). In the case of winning, the set point acquisition process for determining whether or not to increase the set point stored in the set counter 198C of the counter storage means 198 is executed. This set point is a value referred to when determining the number of games to be added to the number of games executed in the second AT state.

  In the first AT state, the AT state control means 200 uses the effect control means 180 to indicate the first character C1 (see FIG. 11A) that suggests the player and the second character C2 that is different from the first character C1. (Refer to FIG. 11A) is displayed on the display device 330 to indicate to the player that the player is fighting. When the AT state control means 200 determines to increase the set point in the set point acquisition process, the display device 330 provides an effect that suggests to the player that the first character C1 has won the second character C2. It is configured to be displayed. Thus, in this embodiment, the set point is provided as a value indicating the number of wins of the first character C1.

  When the condition for ending the first AT state is satisfied, a value corresponding to the set point is added to the addition counter 198D which is a counter for storing the number of games to be added to the number of games executed in the second AT state. It is configured to exit the state and start the second AT state. That is, the AT state control means 200 is configured to add a value corresponding to the number of wins of the first character C1 in the first AT state, end the first AT state, and start the second AT state. As described above, the AT state control unit 200 is configured to be able to grant an extension of the game period in the AT state, which is advantageous to the player, as a privilege, and constitutes a privilege providing unit of the present embodiment.

  In the second AT state, the AT state control means 200 adds the value stored in the addition counter 198D to the second AT end determination counter 198B of the counter storage means 198 at the start of the second AT state, and one game is played. Every time it is executed, the value “1” is subtracted from the second AT end determination counter 198B. Then, when the value stored in the second AT end determination counter 198B reaches the value “0”, the AT state control means 200 shifts from the second AT state to the normal non-AT state and ends the AT state. Further, in the second AT state, when the winning area “rare replay” is won by internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the AT state control means 200 ends the second AT state and starts the first AT state. Has been. Thereby, the AT state control means 200 can further increase the value stored in the second AT end determination counter 198B, and can further increase the number of games executed in the second AT state.

<Configuration of the first AT state>
Next, the set point acquisition process executed in the first AT state will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of specific lines that connect the symbols on each reel that are visually recognized through the display window DW are set together with the effective line L1. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the specific line PL1 constituted by the middle stage of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, like the effective line L1. A specific line PL2 constituted by the upper stage, a specific line PL3 which is an oblique straight line constituted by the lower stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2 and the upper stage of the third reel R3, and the upper stage of the first reel R1 A specific line PL4 that is an oblique straight line constituted by the middle stage of the second reel R2 and the lower stage of the third reel R3, and a specific line PL5 constituted by the lower stages of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are set. Has been. In the present embodiment, these specific lines PL1 to PL5 are set as lines indicating combinations of symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display window DW and separated from the effective line L1 for determining a winning combination. ing.

  Also, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10E, when winning a rare replay, it is on the specific line PL1, and when winning the specific replay 1, it is the specific line PL2. Above, the player is the same on the specific line PL3 when winning the specific replay 2, the specific line PL4 when winning the specific replay 3, and the specific line PL5 when winning the specific replay 4. The symbol combination composed of symbols that can be recognized as symbols is configured to stop.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 (A), the winning symbol combination of rare replay is “STA (STB, STC, STD, STE) that is stopped and displayed in the middle of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. ) -STA (STB, STC, STD) -STA (STC, STD, STE) ". That is, in the case of winning a rare replay, it is a specific symbol combination FC1 composed of a star symbol A “STA” to a star symbol E “STE” which is a symbol composed of symbols that the player can recognize as the same symbol. “STA (STB, STC, STD, STE) −STA (STB, STC, STD) −STA (STC, STD, STE)” is stopped and displayed on the specific line PL1. As described above, the star symbol A “STA” to the star symbol E “STE” constitute the specific symbol of the present embodiment.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, any one of the star symbols A “STA” to E “STE” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less. On the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2, any one of the star symbols A “STA” to D “STD” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less. In addition, on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3, one of the symbols of the star symbol A “STA” and the star symbol C “STC” to the star symbol E “STE” is arranged at intervals of four frames or less. Yes. With this configuration, the reel control means 130, when winning the winning area “rare replay”, the symbols constituting the rare replay winning symbol combination by the reel stop control executed based on the stop signal output from the stop switch 240. , It is possible to display on the effective line L1 regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, that is, the specific line regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3. A combination of specific symbols can be displayed on PL1.

  Here, in the set point acquisition process of the first AT state, when the AT state control means 200 determines that the specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped and displayed on the specific line PL1, the set point is increased, and the specific line PL2- When it is determined that the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on any one of the specific lines PL5, a set point lottery for determining whether or not to increase the set point is executed. Thus, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the specific line PL1 is set as a specific line to which set points are more easily added than the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5. The relationship with the lower level is set.

  Further, the AT state control means 200 performs the effect control when it is determined that the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on any one of the specific lines PL1 to PL5 in the set point acquisition process. Means 180 causes the display device 330 to display an effect that suggests to the player that the first character C1 attacks the second character C2.

  Specifically, when the state shifts to the first AT state, the AT state control means 200 first to fifth setting tables TE to TE stored in a state control data storage means 197 described later in detail (see FIG. 12). A setting table selection process for selecting any one of the setting tables is executed, and the display device 330 has a second character corresponding to the first character C1 and the selected setting table, as shown in FIG. Character C2 is displayed oppositely.

  Next, when the start operation of the start switch 230 is detected, for example, when the winning area “rare replay” is selected in the winning area “specific replay”, as described above, regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Because the specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped and displayed on the specific line PL1, the AT state control means 200 determines that the specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped and displayed on the specific line PL1, and sets the value “1” to the set counter 198C. to add.

  At this time, when the third stop operation is performed, the AT state control unit 200 displays an effect of attacking the head, chest, or leg of the second character C2 on the display device 330 by the effect control unit 180. After being displayed on the device 330, an effect to end the display of the second character C2 is displayed on the display device 330, and an effect that suggests to the player that the first character C1 has won the second character C2 is performed.

  On the other hand, when the winning area “specific batting order replay” is won, the AT state control means 200 executes a set point lottery execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the set point lottery, and is set in the set point lottery execution lottery. When it is determined to execute the point lottery, the AT state control unit 200 executes the set point lottery.

  When the execution of the set point lottery is determined by the set point lottery execution lottery, the AT state control unit 200 performs the specific replay winning assist control for assisting the winning of the specific replay 1 to the specific replay 4 and the specific replay 1 to the specific replay 4. And a control for causing the effect control means 180 to execute a specific replay winning assist effect that is an effect of assisting the winning. As described above, when it is determined to execute the set point lottery in the set point lottery execution lottery, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order notified by the main control display device 500, whereby the specific line PL2 Since the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on any specific line of the specific line PL5, the AT state control means 200 is placed on any specific line of the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5. It is assumed that the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed, and a set point lottery is executed.

  Next, the set point lottery will be described in detail. The AT state control unit 200 executes a set point lottery with reference to data and values stored in the state control data storage unit 197 and the counter storage unit 198. More specifically, the AT state control unit 200 selects any one of the set point lottery tables from the set point lottery table T1 to the set point lottery table T5 (see FIG. 13) stored in the state control data storage unit 197. Then, the selected set point lottery table is compared with the random number acquired from the random number storage area of the random number generation means 110 to determine whether to increase the set point.

  Here, which set point lottery table of the set point lottery table T1 to set point lottery table T5 is used to determine whether the set point lottery is executed depends on the attack target part of the specific line PL2 to PL5 and the second character C2 ( In the present embodiment, it is determined with reference to the first to third lottery levels set in association with the head, chest and legs.

  That is, the first lottery level is composed of symbols that can be recognized as the same symbol on the specific line PL2 by winning one of the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 1C”. This is the lottery level that is referred to when the displayed specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped and displayed, and is associated with the attack effect on the head of the second character C2.

  The second lottery level is selected from any of the winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 2C” and “specific batting order replay 3A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 3C”. The lottery level that is referred to when the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 composed of symbols that the player can recognize as the same symbol on the PL3 or the specific line PL4 is stopped and displayed, and the second character C2 Is associated with the attack production of the chest.

  Further, the third lottery level is composed of symbols that can be recognized as the same symbol on the specific line PL5 by winning one of the winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 4C”. This is the lottery level that is referred to when the displayed specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed, and is associated with the attack effect on the leg of the second character C2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the set point lottery tables T1 to T5 are set so that the probability of winning the set point increases in the order of the set point lottery table T1 to the set point lottery table T5. The set point lottery table T1 is set to have a lower probability of winning set points than the other set point lottery tables, and the set point lottery table T5 wins set point increases from the other set point lottery tables. The probability is the largest, and the winning of the set point is associated with all of the plurality of random numbers. That is, when the set point lottery table T5 is referred to in the set point lottery, the AT state control means 200 increases the set points without omission.

  On the other hand, the first to third lottery levels are respectively stored in the first lottery level counter 198E to the third lottery level counter 198G of the counter storage means 198. These first to third lottery levels are shown in FIG. As described above, it is stored for each of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE. Here, FIG. 12 is a table showing the initial values of the first to third lottery levels for each of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE. Depending on the value of the initial value, a plurality (5 in the present embodiment). ) The strength of the second character C2 is set.

  When the AT state control means 200 is won to increase the set point in the set point lottery, the AT state control means 200 adds the value “1” to the set counter 198C and does not win to increase the set point in the set point lottery. In this case, the lottery level is increased by adding the value “1” to the referenced lottery level counter. When it is determined that the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on the specific line associated with the increased lottery level, the AT state control unit 200 determines from the setpoint lottery table referred to last time. The set point lottery is executed with reference to the set point lottery table having a high probability of winning the set point increase. Further, when it is determined that the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped on the specific line associated with the lottery level having the value “5”, the AT state control means 200 sets the set point without omission. Increase. As described above, the AT state control means 200 is configured to increase the set points in accordance with the first to third lottery levels in the set point lottery.

  In addition, when winning to increase the set point in the set point lottery, after performing the effect of performing an attack on the attack target part of the second character C2 corresponding to the selected winning area (specific line) An effect that suggests to the player that the first character C1 has won the second character C2 is executed. On the other hand, if the winning is not made to increase the set point, as shown in FIGS. 11B to 11D, the second character C2 corresponding to the winning area (specific line) won as described above. An effect of performing an attack on the attack target part is executed.

  For example, in FIG. 11B, the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 1C” was won, and the set point lottery was not won to increase the set points. It is a figure which shows the production | presentation displayed on the display apparatus 330 at the time (namely, when the raise of a 1st lottery level is determined). In the first AT state, the display device 330 has a first display counter P1 for notifying a lottery level (first lottery level) of the first lottery level counter 198E and a lottery level (second lottery level) of the second lottery level counter 198F. ) And a third display counter P3 for notifying the lottery level (third lottery level) of the third lottery level counter 198G are displayed in order from the top, and the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL2 Among the lines PL5, the specific line PL2 configured from the upper stage of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponds to the first lottery level, and the specific line PL5 configured from the lower stage of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is provided. Corresponding to the third lottery level, the specific line PL3 and the specific line PL4 that are obliquely formed from the upper stage to the lower stage become the second lottery level. It suggests that you are respond to the player. Further, as described above, since the AT state control unit 200 is configured to increase the set point in accordance with the first to third lottery levels in the set point lottery, the effect control unit 180 is configured to counter the counter effect. The processing suggests to the player a correspondence relationship between the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 and an increase in the set point. Thus, the counter effect process constitutes the suggestion effect process in the present embodiment.

  When the increase in the first lottery level is determined, the AT state control means 200 displays an effect in which the first character C1 attacks the head of the second character C2 on the display device 330 by the effect control means 180. The display device 330 is caused to display an effect that changes the value of the first display counter P1 in accordance with the increase in the first lottery level. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first lottery level and the first display counter P1 associated with the first lottery level are configured as values that indicate the degree of damage to the head of the second character C2. The attack on the head of the second character C2 is configured to be associated with the specific line PL2.

  FIG. 11C is a diagram showing an effect displayed on the display device 330 when the increase in the second lottery level is determined and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. When the increase of the second lottery level is determined, the AT state control unit 200 causes the display control unit 180 to display an effect in which the first character C1 attacks the chest of the second character C2 on the display device 330 by the effect control unit 180. An effect of changing the value of the second display counter P2 in accordance with the increase in the lottery level is displayed on the display device 330. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the second lottery level and the second display counter P2 associated with the second lottery level are configured as values that indicate the degree of damage to the chest of the second character C2. The attack on the chest of the second character C2 is configured to correspond to the specific line PL3 and the specific line PL4.

  FIG. 11D is a diagram showing an effect displayed on the display device 330 when the increase in the third lottery level is determined and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. When the increase in the third lottery level is determined, the AT state control means 200 causes the effect control means 180 to cause the display device 330 to display an effect in which the first character C1 attacks the leg of the second character C2, and The display device 330 is caused to display an effect that changes the value of the third display counter P3 in response to an increase in the 3 lottery level. That is, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the third display counter P3 associated with the third lottery level and the third lottery level is configured as a value indicating the degree of damage to the leg of the second character C2. The attack on the leg portion of the second character C2 is associated with the specific line PL5.

  Thus, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment is configured to associate the specific lines PL2 to PL5 with the attack effect on the specific part of the second character C2, and the first lottery level counter 198E. -The number of stops in which the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped on the specific line of any of the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 by the third lottery level counter 198G is set to the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5. It is configured to manage each type. That is, the AT state control means 200 associates the number of attacks of the first character C1 against the second character C2 with the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 by the first lottery level counter 198E to the third lottery level counter 198G. It is configured to manage each type of attack.

  Then, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment, the number of attacks on the second character C2 by the first character C1 associated with the specific line PL2, and the first associated with the specific line PL3 and the specific line PL4. The first character C1 attacks the second character C2 according to the number of attacks by the character C1 to the second character C2 and the number of attacks by the first character C1 associated with the specific line PL5 to the second character C2. In this case, the probability that the first character C1 wins the second character C2 and the set point is increased is changed.

  Further, the AT state control means 200 stores, in the first AT guarantee counter 198A of the counter storage means 198, the first AT guarantee number which is the number of games in which the first AT continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the first AT state is executed. I am letting. At the start of the first AT state, the AT state control means 200 provides the first AT guarantee with a value (for example, a value “5”) corresponding to the number of games that can continue at least the first AT state without executing the first AT continuous lottery. Set to counter 198A.

  Then, the AT state control means 200 subtracts the value “1” from the first AT guarantee counter 198A every time a game is executed in the first AT state, and decreases the first AT guarantee number of times. Until the value reaches the value “0”, the number of times of guarantee for the first AT game is decreased. The AT state control means 200 resets the first AT guarantee counter 198A by setting the value “5” in the first AT guarantee counter 198A every time the set point is increased. In the game after the first AT guarantee count reaches the value “0”, the AT state control means 200 has won the winning area “specific stroke order replay” by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, but executes the set point lottery. If not, the first AT continuous lottery is executed.

  In the first AT state, when it is determined not to continue the first AT state by the first AT continuous lottery or when the set point reaches the value “5”, the AT state control means 200 responds to the set point to the addition counter 198D. Set the value, end the first AT state and start the second AT state. That is, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment selects any one of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE and sets the value “5” in the first AT guarantee counter 198A. Until the set point is increased or until it is determined not to continue the first AT state by the first AT continuous lottery, one set of the first AT state is set. As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured as one set from when a predetermined start condition is satisfied until a predetermined end condition is satisfied. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, one set is set until the set point is increased after the start condition is satisfied or until the first AT state is determined not to be continued by the first AT continuous lottery. Not limited to this, until the total number of medals paid out in the game after the start condition is satisfied, the difference between the total number of medals paid out and the total number of medals, or the number of wins of the bell reaches a preset value May be set as one set. Further, the slot machine 1 may be configured to end the first AT state without executing the first AT continuous lottery when a predetermined number of games are executed after the start condition is satisfied. Good.

  The AT state control means 200 is capable of executing (looping) a maximum of five sets of the first AT states until the first AT state ends. That is, in the present embodiment, the first AT state guarantees a minimum guaranteed game of 5 games per set, and the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE (all types of second characters C2). ), A maximum of 5 sets of games can be executed.

  As described above, the AT state control means 200 according to the present embodiment allows the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 to be selected by the first lottery level counter 198E to the third lottery level counter 198G in one set of game periods. The number of stops in which the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed is managed for each type of the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5, and is managed for each type of the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5. It is configured to give set points accordingly. And the predetermined game period of this embodiment is comprised from 1 set of game periods.

  When it is determined not to continue the first AT state through the first AT continuous lottery, the AT state control unit 200 causes the display control unit 180 to display an effect for ending the display of the first character C1 on the display device 330. The player is informed that the first character C1 has lost to the second character C2.

  Further, in the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment, the specific replay is performed by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a batting order different from the batting order suggested by the specific replay winning assist control and the specific replay winning effect. 1-Even if you do not win the specified replay 4, for the production, the specified symbol combination FC1 or the specified symbol combination FC2 is treated as being stopped and displayed on the specified line associated with the selected winning area. Although the winning assistance control and the specific replay winning effect are not executed, even if the prize is accidentally won in the specific replay 1 to the specific replay 4, the specific symbol combination FC1 and the specific symbol on the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 are produced. The combination FC2 is handled as if it was not stopped.

  Further, in the first AT state, when the winning area “BB” is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the AT state control means 200 increases the set point, and the effect control means 180 causes the second character C2 of the second character C2. After the effect of attacking the head, chest, or leg is displayed on the display device 330, the effect of ending the display of the second character C2 is displayed on the display device 330. Then, the AT state control means 200 is configured to suspend the first AT state while holding the set point, and resume the first AT state via the AT preparation state after the end of BB. Further, when the CB is operating in the first AT state, the AT state control means 200 is configured to interrupt the subtraction of the first AT guarantee count and resume the subtraction of the first AT guarantee count after the end of the CB. Yes.

  Further, in the second AT state, when the winning area “BB” is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the AT state control means 200 ends the second AT state and passes through the AT preparation state after the end of BB. The first AT state is started. Further, when the CB is operating in the second AT state, the AT state control means 200 interrupts the subtraction of the value stored in the second AT end determination counter 198B, and after the CB ends, the second AT end determination counter 198B. The subtraction of the value stored in is resumed.

  Further, in the non-AT state, when the winning area “BB” is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the AT state control means 200 may be configured to start the AT state after the end of the BB. .

2. Control Process in AT State Next, with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, the details of the control process related to the first AT state among the AT states executed by the AT state control means 200 in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment. explain.

<First AT state control process>
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing each control process executed by the AT state control means 200 in the first AT state in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment. Although not shown in FIG. 14, the AT state control means 200 wins any of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6” by internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. In addition, a winning assistance control for assisting the winning of the bell and a control for causing the effect control means 180 to execute an effect for assisting the winning of the bell are executed.

  First, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the first AT initial setting process executed in the first game in the first AT state has been executed (S1). In this process, the AT state control means 200 is a flag stored in the state control data storage means 197, and a first AT initialized flag (not shown) that is set when the first AT initial setting process is executed is ON. By determining whether or not there is, it is determined whether or not the current game is the first game after shifting to the first AT state, and it is necessary to execute the first AT initial setting process.

  If it is determined in step S1 that the first AT initialized flag is OFF (NO), the AT state control means 200 executes a first AT initial setting process and is stored in the set counter 198C. The set point which is a value is set to a value “0” (S2). After executing the process of step S2, the AT state control means 200 sets the first AT initialized flag to the ON state (S3). By this process, the AT state control means 200 sets the first AT initialized flag to the ON state, so that the first AT initial setting process has already been executed in the subsequent game in the first AT state. It can be recognized that there is no need to execute the initial setting process.

  After executing the process of step S3 or in the process of step S1, when it is determined that the first AT initialization completed flag is ON and it is not necessary to execute the first AT initial setting process (YES), The AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the set initial setting process to be executed in the first game in each set in the first AT state has been executed (S4). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 determines whether or not a set initialization flag that is a flag stored in the state control data storage unit 197 and is set when the set initial setting process is executed is in an ON state. Thus, it is determined whether or not the current game is the first game in each set and it is necessary to execute the set initial setting process.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the set initialization flag is in the OFF state (NO), the AT state control means 200 executes the set initial setting process shown in steps S5 and S6. In the set initialization process, first, the AT state control unit 200 is a data table stored in the state control data storage unit 197, and any one of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE shown in FIG. A setting table selection process for determining whether to use the setting table in the current set in the first AT state is executed (S5).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE that the AT state control unit 200 selects in the process of S5. As shown in FIG. 12, each setting table of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE includes the first lottery level to the third lottery stored in the first lottery level counter 198E to the third lottery level counter 198G. A lottery level initial value which is an initial value to be set in the level is set. In the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE, the lottery level initial value is set, and the lottery level initial value is set to be smaller in order. The first lottery level initial value, which is the initial value of the first lottery level in the first setting table TA, is set to be larger than the first lottery level initial value in the second setting table TB to the fifth setting table TE. The second lottery level initial value that is the initial value of the second lottery level of the table TA and the third lottery level initial value that is the initial value of the third lottery level are also the second values of the second setting table TB to the fifth setting table TE. It is set larger than the lottery level initial value and the third lottery level initial value. In the fifth setting table TE, the lottery level initial values of the first lottery level initial value to the third lottery level initial value are set smaller than the first setting table TA to the fourth setting table TD. Details of the influence of the difference in magnitude between the first lottery level initial value to the third lottery level initial value set in the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE will be described in detail of the set point acquisition process described later. This will be described in the description.

  In the process of step S5, the AT state control unit 200 draws a setting table lottery corresponding to one of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE for each of a plurality of random numbers from the state control data storage unit 197. A table (not shown) is acquired. Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with a setting table lottery table stored in the state control data storage unit 197, and sets the current set based on the comparison result. Select the setting table to use. Then, the AT state control means 200 sets the lottery level initial value associated with the selected setting table in the first lottery level counter 198E to the third lottery level counter 198G.

  After executing the processing of step S5, the AT state control means 200 sets a value “5” corresponding to the number of games that can at least continue the first AT state to the first AT guarantee counter 198A stored in the counter storage means 198. The first AT security counter setting process to be set is executed (S6). After executing the process of step S6, the AT state control means 200 sets the set initialization flag to the ON state (S7). By this process, the AT state control means 200 sets the set initialization completed flag to the ON state, so that the set initial setting process has already been executed in the game in the current set in the subsequent first AT state, It can be recognized that there is no need to execute the set initial setting process.

  After executing the process of step S7 or in the process of step S4, when it is determined that the set initialization completed flag is in an ON state and it is not necessary to execute the set initial setting process (YES), the AT state The control means 200 determines whether or not the first AT guarantee count, which is a value stored in the first AT guarantee counter 198A, is a value “0” (S8). In this process, when it is determined that the first AT guarantee count is not the value “0”, the AT state control means 200 has a value “1” corresponding to one game being executed from the first AT guarantee counter 198A. Is subtracted to decrease the number of first AT guarantees (S9). Thus, the AT state control means 200 decreases the first AT guaranteed number by one every time one game is executed until the first AT guaranteed number reaches the value “0”.

  After performing the process of step S9 or when it is determined in the process of step S8 that the first AT guarantee count is “0” (YES), the AT state control means 200 is won by the internal lottery means 120. It is determined whether or not the area “specific replay” has been won (S10). In this process, when it is determined that the winning area “specific replay” has not been won (NO), the AT state control means 200 performs the process after step S11 in order to execute the first AT state in the next game. The first AT state control process is terminated without executing.

  When it is determined in the process of step S10 that the winning area “specific replay” has been won (YES), the AT state control means 200 executes a set point acquisition process for determining whether or not to increase the set point (S11). ). In this process, the AT state control means 200 increases the set point, increases the lottery level from the first lottery level to the third lottery level, and sets the point and the first lottery level to the third lottery level. One of the processes for maintaining the lottery level without changing it is executed. Details of the set point acquisition process will be described later.

  After executing the process of step S11, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the lottery level has increased in the set point acquisition process of step S11 (S12). In this process, the AT state control means 200 is a flag stored in the state control data storage means 197, and a lottery level increase flag (not shown) that switches to the ON state when the process for increasing the lottery level is executed is ON. It is determined whether or not the lottery level has increased based on whether or not it is in a state. In the process of step S12, when it is determined that the lottery level has increased because the lottery level increase flag is in the ON state (YES), the AT state control means 200 returns the lottery level increase flag to the OFF state, Even in the next game, in order to execute the first AT state, the first AT state control process is terminated without executing the processes after step S13.

  In the process of step S12, when it is determined that the lottery level has not increased because the lottery level increase flag is in the OFF state (NO), the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the set point has increased. (S13). In this process, the AT state control means 200 is a flag stored in the state control data storage means 197, and a setpoint increase flag (not shown) that switches to the ON state when the process for increasing the setpoint is executed is ON. It is determined whether or not the set point has increased based on whether or not it is in a state. In the process of S13, when it is determined that the setpoint has increased because the setpoint increase flag is in the ON state (YES), the AT state control means 200 returns the setpoint increase flag to the OFF state, and then It is determined that the condition for ending the setting is satisfied, and the set initialization flag is set to the OFF state (S14). By this processing, the AT state control means 200 is set to the first game in the game period of the set unit because the set initialization flag is OFF when the game in the first AT state is executed next time. The set initial setting process is executed.

  After executing the process of step S14, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the set point has reached the value “5” due to the increase in the current set point (S15). In this process, when it is determined that the set point has not reached the value “5” (NO), the AT state control means 200 can still increase the set point, and the condition for ending the first AT state is satisfied. In order to execute the first AT state in the next game, the first AT state control process is terminated without executing the processes after step S16.

  In the process of step S13, when it is determined that the setpoint has not increased because the setpoint increase flag is in the OFF state (NO), the AT state control means 200 sets the setpoint in the setpoint acquisition process of S11. Then, it is determined that the process of maintaining the first lottery level to the third lottery level without changing is executed, and subsequently, it is determined whether or not the first AT guarantee count is a value “0” (S16). In this process, when it is determined that the first AT guarantee count is not the value “0”, the AT state control means 200 can still decrease the first AT guarantee count, and the condition for ending the first AT state is satisfied. In order to execute the first AT state in the next game, the first AT state control process is terminated without executing the processes after step S17.

  If it is determined in the process of step S16 that the first AT guarantee count is “0” (YES), the AT state control means 200 performs a first AT continuous lottery to determine whether or not to continue the first AT state. Execute (S17). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 stores a first AT continuous lottery table (not shown) associated with each of a plurality of random numbers from the state control data storage unit 197 for the first AT state continuation or the first AT state end. get. Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the first AT continuous lottery table stored in the state control data storage unit 197, and based on the comparison result, the first AT Decide whether to continue the state.

  In the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table D that is selected when the gaming state is the RT3 state, a winning area for losing that does not win any combination is not set, and the winning area including the replay is the winning area “ Since the AT state control means 200 is constituted by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the AT state control means 200 has won the winning area including the small role and bonus, the lottery level has increased, and the set point has increased. In such a case, when a process advantageous to the player is performed, the first AT continuous lottery is not executed. As a result, the AT state control means 200 prevents the end of the first AT state from being determined in the first AT continuous lottery even though the process advantageous to the player has been performed. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable.

  After executing the process of step S17, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not it has been determined to continue the first AT state in the first AT continuous lottery of step S17 (S18). In this process, when it is determined that the first AT state is determined to be continued (YES), the AT state control means 200 executes the processes after step S19 in order to execute the first AT state in the next game. The first AT state control process is terminated without any processing.

  If it is determined in step S18 that the first AT state has been determined to end (NO), the AT state control means 200 determines that the conditions for ending the first AT state, including the current set, have been satisfied, The set initialization completed flag is set to the OFF state (S19).

  After performing the process of step S19 or in the process of step S15, when it is determined that the set point has reached the value “5” (YES), the AT state control means 200 sets the first AT initialized flag to the OFF state. (S20). By this process, the AT state control means 200 can execute the first AT initial setting process because the first AT initialized flag is in the OFF state in the first game of the next first AT state.

  After executing the process of step S20, the AT state control means executes an addition game number determination process for determining the number of games to be added to the number of games to execute the second AT state (S21). In the addition game number determination process, the AT state control unit 200 adds a value corresponding to the set point to the addition counter 198D included in the counter storage unit 198. The AT state control means 200 adds a larger value to the addition counter 198D as the set point is larger. For example, the AT state control means 200 adds the value “20” to the addition counter 198D when the value is “0”, and adds the value “50” to the addition counter 198D when the setpoint is the value “1”. When the set point is “2”, the value “100” is added to the addition counter 198D. When the set point is “3”, the value “200” is added to the addition counter 198D. When the value is “4”, the value “250” is added to the addition counter 198D, and when the set point is the value “5”, the value “500” is added to the addition counter 198D. After executing the process of step S21, it is determined to start the second AT state from the next game (S22), and the first AT state is ended. Then, the AT state control unit 200 starts the second AT state from the next game, and after adding the value stored in the addition counter 198D to the second AT end determination counter 198B stored in the counter storage unit 198, The value “0” is set in the addition counter 198D to reset the addition counter 198D.

  Although not shown in FIG. 9B, when the winning area “BB” is won by internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the AT state control means 200 increases the set point and sets the initial stage. The first AT state is interrupted after the activating flag is switched to the OFF state, the AT ready state is executed after the end of BB, the gaming state is returned to the RT3 state, the first AT state is resumed, and the processing from step S1 is executed. . Since the first AT state initialization flag is in the ON state, the AT state control means 200 prevents the first AT initial setting process from being executed when the first AT state is resumed, and when the setpoint interrupts the first AT state. The first AT state is resumed from the state of the value of.

  Further, when the CB is operating in the first AT state, the AT state control means 200 does not perform the subtraction of the first AT guarantee count in step S9. In addition, when the AT state control means 200 determines that the set point has not increased in the process of step S13 (NO in S13), the AT state control means 200 executes the first AT state in the next game, and thereafter The first AT state control process is terminated without executing the process, and the first AT continuous lottery is not executed regardless of the magnitude of the first AT guarantee count.

<Set point acquisition processing>
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing each control process executed by the AT state control means 200 in the set point acquisition process of S11 in the first AT state.

  In the set point acquisition process, first, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the winning area “rare replay” has been won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 (S31). In this process, when it is determined that the winning area “rare replay” has been won (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds a value “1” to the set counter 198C to increase the set point (S32). In the process of step S32, the AT state control unit 200 sets the set point increase flag to the ON state in order to determine whether or not the set point has increased in the process of S13 shown in FIG. And after performing the process of step S32, the AT state control means 200 ends the set point acquisition process. As described above, when the AT state control unit 200 of this embodiment determines that the specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped and displayed on the specific line PL1, the set point is increased and the number of games executed in the second AT state is increased. Can be made.

  In the process of step S31, when it is determined that the winning area “specific batting order replay” is won instead of the winning area “rare replay” (NO), the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not to increase the set point. The set point lottery execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the set point lottery to be executed is executed (S33). In this process, the AT state control unit 200 performs a setpoint lottery execution lottery corresponding to each of a plurality of random numbers from the state control data storage unit 197 in accordance with a setpoint lottery execution or a loss (no setpoint lottery is executed). A table (not shown) is acquired. Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the set point lottery execution lottery table stored in the state control data storage unit 197, and sets the random number based on the comparison result. Decide whether to perform point lottery.

  After executing the process of step S33, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not it is determined to execute the set point lottery by the set point lottery execution lottery of step S33 (S34). In this process, when it is determined that the set point lottery is not executed by the set point lottery execution lottery (NO), the AT state control means 200 changes the set point and the first lottery level to the third lottery level. The set point acquisition process is terminated.

  In the process of step S34, when it is determined that the set point lottery is determined to be executed by the set point lottery execution lottery (YES), the AT state control means 200 executes the specific replay winning assist control (S35). With this process, the AT state control means 200 notifies the player of the batting order in which the specific replay 1 to the specific replay 4 can be won. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the specific replay 1 wins, the specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped on the specific line PL2, and when the specific replay 2 wins, the specific symbol combination FC2 on the specific line PL3. Is stopped and the specific replay 3 wins, the specific symbol combination FC1 is stopped on the specific line PL4. When the specific replay 4 wins, the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on the specific line PL5. Therefore, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the striking order suggested by the specific replay winning assist control, the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination is specified on any one of the specific lines PL2 to PL5. The symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed.

  After executing the process of step S35, the AT state control means 200 executes a set point lottery (S36). In this process, the AT state control means 200 first refers to the lottery level associated with the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. The AT state control means 200 is stored in the first lottery level counter 198E when the winning area “specific batting order replay 1A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 1C” is won by internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. Referring to the first lottery level, the winning area “specific batting order replay 2A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 2C” and the winning area “specific batting order replay 3A” to the winning area “specific batting order replay 3C” are won. In the case where the second lottery level stored in the second lottery level counter 198F is referred to, if any of the winning area “specific batting order replay 4A” to winning area “specific batting order replay 4C” is won, The third lottery level stored in the three lottery level counter 198G is referred to.

  Subsequently, the AT state control means 200 is the lottery table shown in FIG. 13 stored in the state control data storage means 197, and a setpoint in which setpoint acquisition or loss is associated with each of a plurality of random numbers. Any set point lottery table is selected and acquired from the lottery table T1 to the set point lottery table T5 according to the lottery level referred to. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the set point lottery table T1 to the set point lottery table T5, (A) is a diagram showing the set point lottery table T1, and (B) is a diagram showing the set point lottery table T2. (C) is a diagram showing the set point lottery table T3, (D) is a diagram showing the set point lottery table T4, and (E) is a diagram showing the set point lottery table T5. . The AT state control means 200 acquires the set point lottery table T1 from the state control data storage means 197 when the referenced lottery level is the value “1”, and when the referenced lottery level is the value “2”. When the set point lottery table T2 is acquired and the referenced lottery level is the value “3”, the setpoint lottery table T3 is acquired, and when the referenced lottery level is the value “4”, the setpoint lottery The table T4 is acquired, and when the referenced lottery level is the value “5”, the set point lottery table T5 is acquired.

  Then, the AT state control unit 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the set point lottery table acquired from the state control data storage unit 197, and acquires a set point based on the comparison result. Determine whether or not.

  After executing the process of step S36, the AT state control means 200 determines whether or not the set point acquisition is determined by the set point lottery (S37). In this process, if it is determined that setpoint acquisition has been determined (YES), the AT state control means 200 adds a value “1” to the set counter 198C to increase the setpoint, and turns on the setpoint increase flag. The state is set (S38). Then, after executing the process of step S38, the AT state control means 200 ends the set point acquisition process. As described above, the AT state control unit 200 of the present embodiment sets when the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on any one of the specific lines PL2 to PL5. A point lottery is executed, the set points are increased according to the result of the set point lottery, and the number of games executed in the second AT state can be increased.

  Further, the AT state control means 200 of the present embodiment can increase the lottery level referenced in the setpoint lottery even if it is not determined to increase the setpoint in the setpoint lottery. That is, the AT state control means 200, in the set point lottery based on the lottery level associated with the specific line, the more times the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on the same specific line. The probability of deciding to acquire set points can be increased. Further, the AT state control means 200 raises the lottery level referenced in the set point lottery, and when the lottery level reaches the value “5”, the specific symbol combination FC1 or the next on the specific line corresponding to the lottery level. When it is determined that the specific symbol combination FC2 has been stopped and displayed, the set points can be increased without fail. In this way, the AT state control means 200 can increase the set point and increase the number of games executed in the second AT state in accordance with the number of stops managed for each type of a plurality of specific lines.

  When it is determined in the process of step S37 that the set point is not acquired (NO), the AT state control means 200 refers to the lottery level counter referred to for selecting the set point lottery table in the set point lottery of S36, that is, Then, the value “1” is added to the lottery level counter associated with the winning area won by the internal lottery means 120 by the internal lottery to raise the lottery level (S39). In the process of step S39, the AT state control means 200 sets the lottery level increase flag to the ON state in order to determine whether or not the lottery level has increased in the process of S12 shown in FIG. Then, after executing the process of step S39, the AT state control means 200 ends the set point acquisition process.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the first lottery level initial value, the second lottery level initial value, and the third lottery level initial value in the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE are the first value. The setting table TA is set to become smaller in the order of the fifth setting table TE. Accordingly, when the first setting table is selected in the process of step S5 shown in FIG. 14, there is a high probability of determining to acquire the set point in the set point lottery of S36, but the fifth setting table is selected. In the set point lottery, the probability of determining to acquire a set point is low. As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the ease of increasing the set point changes depending on the magnitude of the first lottery level initial value to the third lottery level initial value. The ease of increasing setpoints varies depending on the table.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the counter effect process indicates to the player the correspondence between the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 and the increase of the set point, so the number of games executed in the second AT state is increased. The player can be suggested the opportunity to make it happen. Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the combination of specific symbols on the specific line is indicated by suggesting the correspondence relationship between the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5 and the increase of the set point by the counter effect processing. Since the player is given a sense of purpose for the stop display, when the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is actually stopped on the specific line, the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is displayed on the specific line. Can be given to the player, and the player's interest in the control related to the AT state executed by the AT state control means 200 can be improved.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a combination of specific symbols is stopped and displayed on any one of the specific lines PL2 to PL5 during the game period of each set, it is executed in the AT state. The probability that the number of games played can be increased can be increased. Thereby, in the slot machine 1, the expectation that the number of games executed in the AT state can be changed in the game period of each set, so the expectation that the number of games executed in the AT state can be changed. As a result, the player's interest in the control related to the AT state executed by the AT state control means 200 can be improved. In addition, since the gaming machine of the present invention is executed in the AT state according to the number of stops in the gaming period of each set, there is a difference in gaming characteristics between the gaming period of each set and other gaming periods, The progress of the game is inflated, and the player's interest in the control related to the AT state executed by the AT state control means 200 during the game period of each set can be further improved.

3. Modification In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the specific line PL1 to the specific line PL5 are set in a straight line, but not limited to this, the upper stage of the first reel R1, the lower stage of the second reel R2, and the first line A V-shaped specific line constituted by the upper stage of the three reels R3, a lower stage of the first reel R1, a lower stage of the second reel R2, and a specific line constituted by the upper stage of the third reel R3 may be set.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT state control unit 200 performs the set point acquisition process when the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination FC2 is stopped and displayed on any one of the specific lines PL1 to PL5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the set point acquisition process may be executed when a predetermined number of games are executed in the first AT state. In this case, the AT state control means 200 determines the probability that the set point will increase in the set point acquisition process, the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination on the specific line during the preset number of times of the game. What is necessary is just to be comprised so that it may change according to the frequency | count that FC2 stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the first AT state, all of the specific lines PL1 to PL5 are configured to be involved in the control related to the increase of the set point. At the start of the set, it is determined which one of the specific lines PL1 to PL5 is to be activated, and the specific symbol combination FC1 or the specific symbol combination is placed on the activated specific line in the game period of each set. The set point acquisition process may be executed only when the FC2 is stopped and displayed. For example, in the slot machine 1, one or more specific lines among the specific lines PL1 to PL5 are associated with the setting tables of the first setting table TA to the fifth setting table TE. In the setting table selection process provided as the line setting process, when a setting table used for the current set is selected, only a specific line associated with the setting table may be validated. .

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the specific line PL1 is set as a specific line to which set points are more easily added than the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5. Any specific line of PL5 may be set as a specific line to which a set point is easily added. In specific line PL1 to specific line PL5, the ease of adding a set point is set to the same level. Also good.

  In this embodiment, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to increase the set points in the set point lottery when the winning area “specific batting order replay” is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery unit 120. Although it is configured to increase the setpoint, the present invention is not limited to this, and as one of the line setting processes, any one of the specific lines PL2 to PL5 is set to be more specific than other specific lines. You may be comprised so that the privilege assistance lottery which determines whether it sets as a privilege assistance line more advantageous for a player may be performed. The AT state control means 200 executes the set point lottery execution lottery when winning the winning area associated with the specific line set as the privilege auxiliary line by the privilege auxiliary lottery. Then, when the execution of the set point lottery is won, the AT state control means 200 may decide to execute the specific replay winning assist control and increase the set points without fail. In this case, the AT state control means 200 may be configured to increase the set point by 2 or more.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 specifies a combination of star symbol A “STA” to star symbol E “STE” as a specific symbol when winning a rare replay and specific replay 1 to specific replay 4. It is configured to stop and display on any specific area of the line PL1 to the specific line PL5, but is not limited to this, other symbols such as the bell symbol “BL” or the replay symbol “RP” as the specific symbol The combination may be configured to stop and display on any specific area of the specific line PL1 to the specific line PL5. That is, the AT state control means 200 determines whether the combination of specific symbols composed of symbols different from the star symbol A “STA” to the star symbol E “STE” is stopped in the AT state according to the number of stoppages displayed on each specific line. It may be configured to increase the number of games to be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control unit 200 is configured to execute the set point lottery when it is determined to execute the set point lottery in the set point lottery execution lottery. When winning one of the specific replay 1 to the specific replay 4, that is, the combination of the star symbol A “STA” to the star symbol E “STE” stops on any specific area of the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5. When displayed, the set point lottery may be executed without fail. Further, the AT state control means 200 has won the winning area “specific batting order replay” by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, but has not won any of the specific replay 1 to the specific replay 4, that is, a star. If the combination of symbol A “STA” to star symbol E “STE” does not stop and display on any specific area of the specific line PL2 to the specific line PL5, the set point lottery is not executed and the set counter 198C In addition, a value may not be added to any of the first lottery level counter 198E to the third lottery level counter 198G.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 can increase the set point only by 1 in each set. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in each set, the AT state guarantee count is set before reaching the value “0”. When it is determined to increase the set point in the point acquisition process, the set point may be increased by 2 or more. In addition, when the AT state control unit 200 determines to increase the set point by the set point acquisition process in the set in which the fifth setting table TE in which the set point is less likely to increase than the other setting tables is selected, Alternatively, the set point may be increased by 2 or more. Also, the AT state control means 200 increases the set points by 2 or more even when it is decided to increase the set points by winning the winning area “rare replay” by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120.
