The higher it is, the higher the probability that any watermelon will be won by internal lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4 have the same probability that each of the bonus winning modes is obtained by the internal lottery, but the regular bonus (RB) winning probability depends on the set value. Is different. In particular, in this embodiment, a big bonus (BB) and a regular bonus (RB) are provided as bonuses. As shown in FIG. 8B, the big bonus (BB) is an internal value at any set value. While the winning probability in the lottery is constant, the regular bonus (RB) varies in the range of 128/65536 to 256/65536 according to the set value, and when the winning probability of each bonus is added, either The probability of winning the bonus varies in the range of about 1/441 to about 1/204 depending on the set value, and the higher the set value for setting 1 to setting 6, the more the winning of any bonus is in the internal lottery The probability of getting is higher.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the winning of the big bonus (BB), batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, common bell, watermelon A, cherry, JAC, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3, and batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 12 The section (an example of the first winning section) is a winning section in which the winning probability does not vary depending on the set value (there is no setting difference), and the winning section of the regular bonus (RB), watermelon B, and watermelon C (second) An example of the winning section is a winning section in which the winning probability varies (there is a setting difference) according to the set value.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game, and the main lottery table storage unit 1911 of the storage unit 190 for the acquired random number value. The internal lottery table stored in the table is referenced (compared) to determine whether or not the winning combination has been won. Specifically, it is determined whether one of a plurality of winning sections or unselected sections set in the internal lottery table is a winning section or unselected section according to a predetermined determination order. Judge one by one. And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.4 and FIG.5, in this internal lottery table, the determination order and the determination value with respect to each winning section and each unselected section are set in advance. Using the determination value set for each winning section or each unselected section in the determination order set in the internal lottery table, it is determined whether the acquired random number value belongs to the selected section or not. Determine for each section. In this embodiment, the determination order is a winning section (big bonus (BB), batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, common bell, watermelon A, cherry, JAC, normal replay 1 Following the normal replay 3, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 12), the winning section (regular bonus (RB), watermelon B, watermelon C) in which the winning probability varies according to the set value is set. Further, in this embodiment, the storage areas of the winning section group whose winning probability does not vary depending on the set value and the winning section group whose winning probability varies depending on the set value are clearly distinguished by being stored together. ing.

  In this embodiment, the determination value is represented by a symbol in FIGS. 4 and 5, but the same symbol in FIGS. 4 and 5 means the same numerical value. For example, the internal lottery The determination value A1 of the big bonus (BB) in each of the table 1 to the internal lottery table 4 is the same numerical value. Different symbols may have the same numerical value. For example, the determination values B1 to B9 of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 are the same numerical value, and similarly, the batting order replay 1 to the batting order. The determination values H1 to H6 of the replay 6 are the same numerical values, and the determination values H7 to H12 of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are the same numerical values. In the present embodiment, the sum of the determination values in each internal lottery table is designed to match the total number of random numbers generated by the random number generation means 110 (for example, 65536). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, the determination value D1 of the watermelon A is 1024, and the determination value D2 of the watermelon B and the determination value D3 of the watermelon C are set to 64 in setting 1, respectively. 8 is 256. As shown in FIG. 8B, the determination value A1 of the big bonus (BB) is 64, and the determination value A2 of the regular bonus (RB) is set to 128 in setting 1. It is 256.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 1912 of the storage unit 190.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next and subsequent games until winning, and the winning state is not carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination with which the former carry-over possible flag is associated is a bonus, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when a big bonus (BB) is won by internal lottery, a process of carrying over the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) until the big bonus (BB) wins is performed. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. The same applies when the regular bonus (RB) is won. Once the regular bonus (RB) is won, the winning state of the regular bonus (RB) lottery flag is carried over until the regular bonus (RB) wins, and the regular bonus (RB) is won. Even in a game in which the winning state of the bonus (RB) lottery flag is carried over, an internal lottery for determining whether or not a small role and replay are successful is performed. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, the bonus lottery flag that has already been won and the small role that has been won in the internal lottery And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a replay lottery flag are set in a winning state.

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the white 7 symbol “white 7” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , Black 7 symbol “black 7”, BAR symbol “BAR”, replay symbol “RP”, dummy symbol “DUM”, bell symbol “BL”, watermelon symbol A “WMA”, watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and cherry symbol When “CH” is arranged and a symbol existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position is drawn on the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed. Regardless of the detection position, it can be displayed on the effective line.

  Further, the reel control means 130 is rotating with reference to the process (logic calculation) for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by priority and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1913 of the storage means 190. And a process for determining the stop position of the reel (table reference process).

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

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

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

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

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

  If the gaming state is the RB established state or the BB established state, the winning of the small role is prioritized over the bonus. Therefore, if the batting order bell is won and the stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order, 8 pieces are reduced. Even if the winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed in the incorrect order, the regular bonus (RB) or big bonus (BB) will be displayed when displaying the symbols that make up the winning form for one small winning combination on the active line. Priorities are required so that winnings are avoided. However, when winning a cherry, the symbols that make up the winning combination of two small roles corresponding to the cherry cannot be displayed on the active line, and the regular bonus (RB) or big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed. Since there is a pressing detection position that can display the symbols constituting the active line, if a cherry wins in the RB established state or the BB established state, the regular bonus (RB) ) Or a big bonus (BB) may be awarded.

  In addition, when the hitting bell is elected in the RB established state or the BB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the small role that is prioritized is changed according to the pressing order, for example, the RB established state or the BB established state. When winning the batting order bell in the state, the priority is calculated so that the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line becomes the maximum regardless of the pressing order is obtained. The stop position may be determined with priority given to winning a single small role over winning. As described above, if one small combination is preferentially won over eight small combinations in the RB established state or the BB established state, the expected medal acquisition value in the RB established state or the BB established state can be kept lower. Therefore, it is possible to give a motivation to win the regular bonus (RB) as soon as possible in the RB established state, or to give a player a motivation to win the big bonus (BB) as soon as possible in the BB established state.

  Also, in one game state of the RB established state and the BB established state, when the hitting bell is elected, both small winnings are won in the pressing order, and in the other gaming state, one coin is reduced in any pressing order when the hitting bell is won. The stop position may be determined so that the winning combination is won, and in this way, an index for estimating which bonus is won according to the winning frequency of the 8 winning combinations or 1 winning role Can be given to the person. In other words, the control rule for determining the stop position when the hitting bell is won may be different between the RB establishment state and the BB establishment state.

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

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

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

  In the table reference processing, when a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation, which position is set as the stop position is determined as the stop control table storage unit 1913 of the storage unit 190. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in the table.

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

  Then, in the stop control table that is referred to when any of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 10, the correct batting order (an example of a specific operation order) for each batting order bell. ) Is set, and a pressing order different from the correct answer order is treated as an incorrect answer order.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the 8 small winning combinations win a prize. Thus, when the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, one of the small combinations wins, and none of the small combinations wins. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line.

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

  In the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when watermelon A to watermelon C are won, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the three small winning combinations are given priority over the one small winning combination. In the case where it is not possible to win three small combinations, the stop position is determined so that one small combination is awarded as much as possible. Depending on the mode of the stop operation, none of the small combinations may be won. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, when a three-piece small winning combination is won, a right-down invalid line composed of an upper stage of the first reel R1, a middle stage of the second reel R2, and a lower stage of the third reel R3. A right-down watermelon-aligned stop mode appears in which a watermelon-aligned symbol combination composed of the watermelon symbol A “WMA” and the watermelon symbol B “WMB” is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C include a common small combination 8 that is a small three-piece combination, while two types of single small combinations are different from each other. However, watermelon A and watermelon B both include a small part 1, watermelon B and watermelon C both include a small part 3, and watermelon A and watermelon C include Since the small role 2 is included in common, if one of the watermelon A, watermelon B, or watermelon C is elected, even if you miss the prize for the three small roles, Depending on the stop mode, which winning mode cannot be identified.

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

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

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 2 wins. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any one of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won and the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 wins. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

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

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, with reference to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 1914 of the storage unit 190, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a winning combination of a predetermined combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a big bonus (BB), a regular bonus (RB), replay 1 to replay 6, small role A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine the presence or absence of winnings 1 to 11 and the presence or absence of display of the RT fluctuation blank.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the winning determination process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning determination process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus. Is won, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for shifting the gaming state. When a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the active line, the RT control means 173 changes the RT state. The changing RT transition control process is performed.

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

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 14A, the gaming state transition control means 170 is in a normal state, an RB establishment state (an example of a bonus establishment state), an RB state (an example of a bonus state), and a BB establishment state (an example of a bonus establishment state). ) And a BB state (an example of a bonus state), a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state is performed. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and transition from the normal state to the RB establishment state and the BB establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the RB establishment state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the BB establishment state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the regular lottery table 1 to the internal lottery in which the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are set as the lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to one of the tables 4 according to the RT state.

  The RB establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the internal lottery. In the RB formation state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, whether or not the small role is won is determined with the same probability as the normal state, and the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are determined. Both are excluded from the lottery object, and an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  Further, in the RB formation state, whether or not to play a small role and replay is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the regular bonus (RB) is maintained in the winning state until the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the regular bonus (RB) is won. When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the RB establishment state to the RB state based on the regular bonus (RB) winning.

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

  In the RB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the number of winnings and the number of games for the small role in the RB state, and the number of winnings for the small role reaches a predetermined number (for example, 8 times) When the number of games in the state reaches a predetermined number (for example, 12 times), the game state transition control means 170 ends the RB state and returns the game state to the normal state based on the fact that any of the conditions is satisfied. Let

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

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

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

  Further, in the BB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus game in the BB state, and medals exceeding the predetermined scheduled end payout number (for example, 250). When is paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the BB state and returns the gaming state to the normal state.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the RT control means 173 includes a non-RT state (non-replay time state), an RT1 state (first replay time state), an RT2 state (second replay time state), and an RT3 state ( RT transition control processing for transitioning the RT state between the (third replay time state) is performed. In the present embodiment, the replay lottery mode varies depending on the RT state, and specifically, at least one of the replay winning probability, the type of replay subject to the lottery, and the combination of replays to be won in duplicate is different. Yes. That is, when the RT state fluctuates, the winning probability of some or all of the replays may be different before and after the fluctuation. As the transition condition for the RT state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are defined, the RT state is determined based on whether one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. Transition to another RT state is possible.

  The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line in the non-RT state, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 1 set to .3 is performed. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state returns to the normal state upon completion of the RB state or the BB state, the non-RT state is set when the gaming state is the normal state. When one small combination wins, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state.

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

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

  The RT3 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 3 is displayed on the active line, and the transition from the RT3 state to the non-RT state and the RT1 state is possible. ing. Specifically, in the RT3 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of one small winning combination is displayed on the active line (when the single small winning combination wins), the state shifts to the non-RT state, and in the RT3 state When the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Also, in the RT3 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the replay winning modes, and the replay winning probability is about 1/2. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 4 set to 0 is performed. In the internal lottery table 4 that is referred to when the user stays in the RT3 state in the normal state, the correspondence between the winning combination and the random number value is set so that the result of the internal lottery is not lost.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the privilege granting means 175 changes the production state among a plurality of types of production states including a non-AT state, an AT preparation state, an AT state, and an AT end standby state, To set the production state to the AT state (assist time state), determine the success or failure of the AT state end condition based on the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and end the AT state when the AT state end condition is satisfied. To control. In this embodiment, when staying in the AT ready state or the AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct hitting order when winning the hitting bell, so that the eight small roles (small role 6: predetermined role) In one example), a winning assistance effect that assists winning is performed, and an assist time game in which medals can be obtained more easily than a game staying in a non-AT state can be performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the privilege granting unit 175 can set a normal section, an internal standby section, and an advantageous section, and in the normal section, the rendering state is fixed to the non-AT state and an AT lottery (an example of a specific lottery) ) And winning the AT lottery, the advantageous section is started and the production state can be set to the AT state on the condition that it is an advantageous section. And the privilege granting means 175 is based on the fact that any of the common bell, watermelon A, cherry, and big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery when the game state is the normal state in the game of the normal section ( An example of a case where the random number value acquired by the internal lottery belongs to a predetermined winning section among the plurality of first winning sections), AT lottery is performed. In the AT lottery, the random number acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 1911, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, for each of the random numbers for internal lottery associated with each winning mode (common bell, watermelon A, cherry, big bonus (BB)) in the internal lottery that triggers the AT lottery, If either winning or losing is associated and the random value acquired for the internal lottery is associated with winning in the AT lottery table, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won.

  In the present embodiment, as a lottery state of AT lottery, a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/256 (an example of an initial probability) and a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/64 can be set. In the AT lottery, an AT lottery table corresponding to the lottery state is referred to. That is, when the lottery state is a high probability state, the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is a low probability state is referred to. Note that the winning probability of the AT lottery may be different depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery. In this case, there may be a winning mode in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is the same in the low probability state and the high probability state, or the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher in the low probability state than in the high probability state. As long as the total number of random numbers assigned to the winning of the AT lottery is in the relationship of “high probability state> low probability state”, the winning probability of the AT lottery for each winning mode can be arbitrarily determined. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery in each lottery state does not fluctuate due to the influence of the set value.

  Then, when the bonus granting means 175 wins the AT lottery in the normal zone, it starts the advantageous zone based on the fact that the AT lottery is won and shifts the production state from the non-AT state to the AT state via the AT preparation state. Thus, assist time games are performed in advantageous sections. If an AT lottery based on the Big Bonus (BB) win is won, the winning information of the AT lottery is held until the end of the BB state, and the BB state ends and the gaming state returns to the normal state. The production state is set to the AT ready state, and the state is shifted to the AT state via the AT ready state.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the prize assisting effect is executed by the effect control means 180 so as to guide the RT state to the RT3 state.

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

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

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

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

  Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets a value “50” corresponding to 50 times as the number of games to be the end condition of the AT state in the AT end determination counter 1915 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, and the AT state Then, every time an assist time game is performed, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a constant value “1” corresponding to one assist time game from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is triggered. Decrement update to subtract. Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1915 is continued even in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to a player's operation error.

  Then, when the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the initial value “0”, the privilege granting unit 175 determines that the AT state end condition is satisfied, and the privilege granting unit 175 sets the effect state to the AT end standby state. When the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, in the AT end standby state after the end of the AT state, the winning assist effect at the time of winning the batting order bell by the effect control means 180 is not performed, so the symbol combination indicating a single small role winning or RT variation blank The RT state easily falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state. It should be noted that the presentation state after the end of the AT state may return to the non-AT state without providing the AT end standby state. The return condition from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state is, for example, that the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer hit order when the hitting bell is selected, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line. Or it may be that one small role wins.

  Further, in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 is the case where the winning mode of the small role obtained by the internal lottery is watermelon A, cherry or common bell (the first random number obtained by the internal lottery is a plurality of first numbers). An example of determining whether to add a given addition value to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 in accordance with the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery in an example of belonging to a predetermined winning section in the winning section) Make a lottery. In the present embodiment, by adding an added value to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, the number of times the assist time game is executed in the advantageous section can be increased.

  In the extra lottery, the random number obtained for the internal lottery is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 1911, and it is determined whether or not the extra lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the extra lottery table, each of the random values associated with the winning mode that triggers the extra lottery is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number obtained in the extra lottery is added to the extra lottery table. If it is associated with winning, it is determined that the winning lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, an additional lottery table corresponding to the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is “watermelon A <cherry <common It becomes higher in the order of “bell”. In addition, as the addition value when winning the extra lottery, a large addition value is selected in the order of “cherry <common bell <watermelon A”. In addition, the relationship between the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the extra lottery, and the relationship between the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery and the added value when winning the extra lottery are not limited to those described above, but are arbitrary. Can be determined. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the extra lottery and the added value when winning the extra lottery are not changed depending on the set value.

  In addition, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 interrupts the AT state by stopping the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1915 based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), The AT state is resumed as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state after the end of the BB state. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the situation where the game is performed in the AT state in the advantageous section, the return to the AT state is confirmed after the end of the BB state. Is to be maintained.

  In addition, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 is responsive to the regular bonus (RB) winning based on the AT end determination counter 1915 in the same manner as when the big bonus (BB) is won. The AT state is interrupted by canceling the decrement update, and the AT state is resumed as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT ready state after the RB state ends. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the regular big bonus (RB) varies depending on the set value, and the winning of the regular bonus (RB) and the start and end of the RB state are related to the start and end of the advantageous section. If a regular bonus (RB) is won in a situation where a game is performed in the AT state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state and is advantageous even after the RB state ends. As long as the end condition of the section is not satisfied, the advantageous section is maintained.

  Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets a predetermined value “32” corresponding to 32 times, which is the number of games that can change the lottery state of the AT lottery, to the probability variation counter 1916 when shifting to the AT state. In the game in the AT end standby state or the non-AT state after the end of the state, every time one game is performed, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 becomes 1 The decrement is updated by subtracting a constant value “1” corresponding to the game of the time.

  The privilege granting means 175 fixes the AT lottery state in a low probability state in the normal section, while the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is not the initial value (for example, 0) in the advantageous section, the RT state If the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state, the AT lottery state is set to the low probability state, and the RT state is the RT2 state or the RT3 state. In any case, the AT lottery state is set to a high probability state.

  In this embodiment, when the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches an initial value (for example, 0), the advantageous interval ends. However, in the game until the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, AT When winning the lottery and shifting to the AT state, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is set to the predetermined value “32” again when shifting to the AT state.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the game until the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the decrement update of the probability variation counter 1916 is interrupted, and the big change is made until the end of the BB state. The value of the probability variation counter 1916 at the time of winning the bonus (BB) is held, but if the AT lottery is performed based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), the AT ready state is changed after the BB state ends. If the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is set again to the predetermined value “32” when the state shifts to the AT state and the AT lottery performed based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is not won, BB The advantageous section ends when the performance state returns to the non-AT state after the state ends.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the game until the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the decrement update of the probability variation counter 1916 is interrupted, and the regular variation is continued until the end of the RB state. The value of the probability variation counter 1916 at the time of winning the bonus (RB) is held, and after the end of the RB state, the effect state returns to the non-AT state and the probability variation counter is calculated from the value at the time of interruption by the regular bonus (RB) winning. The 1916 decrement update is resumed.

  Further, the privilege granting means 175 performs an initialization process for initializing control information related to the effect state based on the end of the advantageous section. In particular, in the present embodiment, the presentation state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process, and the values of the AT end determination counter 1915 and the probability variation counter 1916 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0) to enter the normal section. It comes to return.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, an internal middle standby section can be set, and the privilege granting means 175 is advantageous based on winning the AT lottery in the normal section. The section starts, but when the AT lottery based on the Big Bonus (BB) win is won, but the Big Bonus (BB) is not won and the Big Bonus (BB) win is carried over An advantageous section is started via the waiting section. In the present embodiment, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end standby state can be set only in the advantageous zone. In this embodiment, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) is not an opportunity to execute the AT lottery. Therefore, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) Even if the regular bonus (RB) is elected without winning (RB), it does not shift to the internal middle standby section.

  In this embodiment, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and the clear counter 1917 is played every time one game is performed in the advantageous section. Incremental update is performed by adding a certain value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game to the value of the game, and the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds a threshold value (for example, 1500) (the value of the clear counter is “ 1501 "), the end condition of the advantageous section is established. In this embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is updated after all the spinning reels in each game are stopped. However, if it is determined in advance in each game, the clear counter 1917 is updated at any time. For example, a game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update opportunity. In the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 is updated even if a transition to each effect state such as the AT preparation state or the AT preparation state occurs unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. If you win the AT lottery at the time of winning the big bonus (BB), but the big bonus (BB) does not win and the advantageous zone starts via the internal standby zone, the internal standby zone In FIG. 3, the clear counter 1917 is not updated, and the clear counter 1917 is updated with the start of the advantageous section.

  In this embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the initialization process is executed along with the end of the advantageous section, and the normal section is restored. For this reason, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where the user stays in the AT state, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, and the rendering state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). Further, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in a situation where the user is in the AT ready state, the AT ready state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where the AT end standby state is maintained, the non-AT Even if the condition for returning to the state is not satisfied, the AT end standby state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, and the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is the initial value (for example, 0). It is initialized to.

  In the initialization process, not only the above-described effect state, AT end determination counter 1915, and probability variation counter 1916 are initialized, but also the clear counter 1917 is initialized. Specifically, the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value. It is initialized to (for example, 0). Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied even when the effect state returns to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state, and the initialization process is executed when the advantageous section ends.

  Also, the privilege granting means 175 wins the AT lottery based on the big bonus (BB) winning in the normal section, and even when the big bonus (BB) wins, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1). Set to to generate an advantageous section. However, in this embodiment, since the big bonus (BB) cannot be won unless the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing, the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the big bonus (BB) is won. If the big bonus (BB) is not won even if the AT lottery based on the above is won, the system shifts to the internal middle standby zone, and the advantageous zone starts with the big bonus (BB) winning. . On the other hand, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section but the AT lottery is not won, the advantageous section will not occur, and even if the gaming state is the BB established state or the BB state When the normal section is maintained and the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed, and the normal section is maintained even if the gaming state is the RB establishment state or the RB state. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the RB establishment state or the BB establishment state and when the gaming state is the RB state or the BB state, the AT lottery is not executed even in the normal section. . In this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the BB state to be transferred by the big bonus (BB) is set to the advantageous section in principle, and the regular bonus (RB) is set in the advantageous section. In the case of winning, the RB state to be shifted by the regular bonus (RB) is set to an advantageous section in principle. That is, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the BB state is set to the advantageous section only when the AT lottery performed when the big bonus (BB) is won, while the advantageous section When the big bonus (BB) is won, the BB state which is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB) is set as the advantageous section unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In addition, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the regular section, it does not shift to the advantageous section, and when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the termination condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied. As long as the regular bonus (RB) is won, the RB state that shifts is set as an advantageous section. Even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the end condition of the advantageous section is established and the initialization process is performed before the big bonus (BB) is won, the big bonus (BB) BB state that is shifted by winning) is set as a normal section, and even when the BB state is shifted to the advantageous section, the ending condition of the advantageous section is established and the initialization process is performed before the BB state termination condition is established. In such a case, after the initialization process, the game state is changed to the BB state and the normal section is switched. Even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, if the termination process of the advantageous section is established and the initialization process is performed before the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) The RB state that is shifted by winning a prize is set as a normal section. Even if the RB state is shifted to the RB state in the advantageous section, the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the RB state termination condition is satisfied. In this case, after the initialization process, the game state is changed to the RB state and the normal section is switched.

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

  In this embodiment, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and the BB is established, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is performed. When the big bonus (BB) that has already been won in the game of the normal section after the end cannot be won, the winning of the big bonus (BB) does not involve the transition to the advantageous section. The section is maintained and does not shift to the internal middle standby section.

  In this embodiment, even when the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and stays in the BB state, the advantageous section is terminated regardless of whether the BB state termination condition is satisfied. Then, the initialization process is performed and the process shifts to the normal section. However, since the AT lottery is not performed in the BB state in the normal section, the advantageous section ends when the BB state is stayed. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state after the end of the BB state is always the non-AT state. Note that the game state is not initialized depending on the initialization process that accompanies the end of the advantageous section. Therefore, when the initialization process is performed in a situation where the player stays in the BB state, the initialization process is completed. Information such as the number of payouts in a game in the BB state is not initialized by the initialization process, and the game in the BB state is performed until the end condition for the BB state is satisfied.

  Further, in this embodiment, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and stays in the RB state, the advantageous section is ended regardless of whether or not the RB state end condition is satisfied. Then, the initialization process is performed and the process shifts to the normal section. However, since the AT lottery is not performed in the RB state in the normal section, the advantageous section ends when the RB state is stayed. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state after the end of the RB state is always the non-AT state. Note that the game state may not be initialized depending on the initialization process that accompanies the end of the advantageous section. Therefore, when the initialization process is performed in a situation where the player stays in the RB state, the initialization process is completed. Information such as the number of payouts in the game in the RB state is not initialized by the initialization process, and the game in the RB state is performed until the end condition for the RB state is satisfied.

  Further, in this embodiment, the advantageous section is started by winning the AT lottery in the normal section, and the assisting state game is performed by setting the production state to the AT state in the advantageous section, but the AT state is ended. Even if the value of the probability variation counter 1916 that starts counting after the end of the AT state reaches the initial value, the advantageous interval is maintained. That is, in this embodiment, since the advantageous section continues even after the end of the AT state, there is a case where the advantageous state stays in the advantageous section even when the performance state returns to the non-AT state.

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

  And in this embodiment, the privilege provision means 175 starts or complete | finishes the advantageous area alerting | reporting which is alert | reporting staying in an advantageous area based on the value of the clear counter 1917. FIG. For example, when a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 along with the shift to the advantageous section, the advantageous section is based on the fact that the value of the clear counter 1917 is larger than the initial value “0”. When the notification is started and the value of the clear counter 1917 is initialized to the initial value “0” in accordance with the end of the advantageous section and the transition to the normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to the initial value “0”. The advantageous section notification is terminated based on the fact.

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

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 1918. Control related to the sound production to be performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in a gaming state, or a display on a liquid crystal display LCD By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, execution control of the production for boosting the game or assisting the game is performed according to the progress of the game. The content of the effect executed in the game is determined by referring to the effect lottery table stored in the sub lottery table storage unit 1919 according to the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like.

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

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

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

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

  2. Method of this embodiment

  Hereinafter, the method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 17 to 19 are diagrams for explaining the processing of the present embodiment.

  First, the normal section process that is a process in the normal section will be described. In the normal section process, as shown in FIG. 17, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S100), an internal lottery is performed. A lottery process is performed (step S101). In the internal lottery process, as shown in FIG. 18A, a lottery table selection process is performed (step S110), a random number determination process is performed (step S111), and a lottery flag setting process is performed (step S112).

  In the lottery table selection process, one of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 is selected according to the gaming state and the RT state. In the random number determination process, as shown in FIG. 18B, the random number value X is acquired from the random number generation means 110 (step S120). The random value X acquired at this time is overwritten and stored in a specific lottery random number storage area (not shown) in the storage unit 190. The random number X for internal lottery stored in the random lottery storage area for specific lottery is used in AT lottery or extra lottery. Then, the determination order N is set to an initial value (for example, 0) (step S121), and the determination value Y of the winning section or the non-winning section in which the determination order is set to the Nth with reference to the selected internal lottery table. (Step S122), the determination value Y is subtracted from the random value X, the random value X is updated (step S123), and the operation result (updated random value X) is generated by the random number generation means 110. If the random number X is smaller than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (Y in step S124), the random value X is a winning section or a winning section of the random value Y acquired this time (the Nth winning section or the undecided judgment order). It is determined that it belongs to the winning section. That is, it is determined that the winning part of the winning section of the random value Y acquired this time is won or lost (unsuccessful section). On the other hand, when the calculation result (updated random value X) is equal to or greater than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (N in step S124), the determination order N is determined by adding a constant value (for example, 1). The order N is updated (step S125), and with reference to the internal lottery table, the determination value Y of the winning section or the unselected section in which the determination order is set to the Nth is acquired (step S122), and the updated random value The determination value Y is subtracted from X and the random value X is updated again (step S123), and the determination value Y is updated from the random value X until the calculation result (updated random value X) becomes smaller than a lower limit value (for example, 0). The process of updating the random number value X by subtracting is repeated (steps S122 to S125). In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won is set from the non-winning state to the winning state based on the result of the random number determination process.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the internal lottery process is performed (step S101), the AT lottery process for performing AT lottery is performed (step S102). In the AT lottery process, as shown in FIG. 18C, when any of the common bell, watermelon A, cherry, and big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery in the normal state (Y in step S130), the lottery A table selection process is performed (step S131), and a random number determination process is performed (step S132). In the lottery table selection process of the AT lottery process, one AT lottery table is selected according to the lottery state of the AT lottery. In the AT lottery table, as shown in the internal lottery table, although not shown, a winning section associated with winning and an unsuccessful section associated with loss are set, and the determination order, winning section and Determination values for each of the unsuccessful sections are set in advance. In the random number determination process of the AT lottery process, as shown in FIG. 18B, the random number value X acquired for the internal lottery is acquired from the specific lottery random number storage area of the storage unit 190 (step S120). The determination order N is set to an initial value (for example, 0) (step S121), and the determination value Y of the winning section or the non-winning section in which the determination order is Nth with reference to the selected AT lottery table is set. Obtained (step S122), the determination value Y is subtracted from the random value X to update the random value X (step S123), and the operation result (updated random value X) is the random number generated by the random number generation means 110. When the value is smaller than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (Y in step S124), the random number X is the winning section or the unselected section (the determination section having the Nth determination order) of the random value Y acquired this time. Others are determined to belong to not winning interval). On the other hand, when the calculation result (updated random value X) is equal to or greater than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (N in step S124), the determination order N is updated (step S125), and the determination order is Nth. The determination value Y of the winning section or the non-winning section is acquired (step S122), the determination value Y is subtracted from the updated random value X and the random value X is updated again (step S123), and the calculation result (updated) The process of subtracting the determination value Y from the random value X and updating the random value X is repeatedly performed until the random value X) becomes smaller than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (steps S122 to S125). Then, the result of the AT lottery is stored in a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 190 (step S133).

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the AT lottery process is performed (step S102), a reel control process (step S103) for rotating each reel and stopping the corresponding reel based on a stop operation on the stop button is performed. Then, a winning determination process is performed (step S104), and a winning determination process is performed based on the result of the winning determination (step S105).

  When the winning determination process is performed (step S105), an advantageous section transition process is performed (step S106). In the advantageous section transition process, when the common bell, watermelon A or cherry is won, the AT lottery is won, or the big bonus (BB) is won in the game by winning the AT lottery when the big bonus (BB) is won. In this case, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1), the game section is set to the advantageous section, and the advantageous section notification is started by turning on the LED built in the section indicator SEC. .

  When the advantageous section transition process is performed (step S106), the AT transition process is performed (step S107). In the AT transition process, when the AT lottery is won, the effect state is shifted to the AT preparation state, and the value “50” corresponding to 50 times is set in the AT end determination counter 1915.

  Next, the advantageous section process, which is a process in the advantageous section, will be described. In the advantageous section process, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S200), as shown in FIG. When the lottery process is performed (step S201) and the effect state is the non-AT state or the AT end standby state (Y in step S202), the AT lottery process is performed (step S203), and the effect state is the AT state. In this case (N in step S202, Y in step S204), AT processing is performed (step S205), and an extra lottery process for performing extra lottery is performed (step S206). In the AT process, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a constant value “1” corresponding to one assist time game from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915. Further, in the extra lottery process, as shown in FIG. 19B, when any of the common bell, watermelon A, and cherry is won (Y in step S220), a lottery table selection process is performed (step S221). A random number determination process is performed (step S222). In the lottery table selection process of the extra lottery process, any one extra lottery table is selected according to the winning mode of the combination (internal lottery result). In the additional lottery table, although not shown in the drawing, the winning section associated with the winning and the unsuccessful section associated with the loss are set as in the internal lottery table, and the determination order, the winning section and Determination values for each of the unsuccessful sections are set in advance. Then, in the random number determination process of the extra lottery process, as shown in FIG. 18 (B), the random number value X acquired for the internal lottery is acquired from the specific lottery random number storage area of the storage unit 190 (step S120). The determination order N is set to an initial value (for example, 0) (step S121), and the determination value Y of the winning section or the non-winning section in which the determination order is set to the Nth with reference to the selected extra lottery table is set. Obtained (step S122), the determination value Y is subtracted from the random value X to update the random value X (step S123), and the operation result (updated random value X) is the random number generated by the random number generation means 110. When it becomes smaller than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (Y in step S124), the random number value X is the winning section or the unselected section (the determination order is the Nth winning order) It is determined to belong to or between non winning interval). On the other hand, when the calculation result (updated random value X) is equal to or greater than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (N in step S124), the determination order N is updated (step S125), and the determination order is Nth. The determination value Y of the winning section or the non-winning section is acquired (step S122), the determination value Y is subtracted from the updated random value X and the random value X is updated again (step S123), and the calculation result (updated) The process of subtracting the determination value Y from the random value X and updating the random value X is repeatedly performed until the random value X) becomes smaller than the lower limit value (for example, 0) (steps S122 to S125). When the extra lottery is won, a given added value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (step S223).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19A, when AT lottery processing or extra lottery processing is performed (step S203, step S206), reel control processing (step S207) is performed, and winning determination processing is performed (step S208). ), Winning determination processing is performed (step S209).

  When the winning determination process is performed (step S209), an advantageous section process is performed (step S210). In the advantageous section process, an increment update is performed in which a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game is added to the value of the clear counter 1917.

  When the advantageous section process is performed (step S210), the production state transition process is performed (step S211). In the effect state transition process, when the AT lottery is won, the effect state is shifted to the AT preparation state, the value “50” corresponding to 50 times is set in the AT end determination counter 1915, and the RT state is set in the AT preparation state. When the transition is made to the RT3 state, the rendering state is transitioned to the AT state, and when the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the initial value “0” in the AT state, the rendering state is transitioned to the AT end standby state. When the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby state, the effect state shifts to the non-AT state.

  When the effect state transition process is performed (step S211), the initialization process is performed when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds a threshold value (for example, 1500) (step S212).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the production state is always set to the non-AT state in the normal section, and the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery. The state is always set to a low probability state, and the winning probability is fixed to about 1/256. In the present embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the advantageous section starts, and the production state can be set to the AT state in the advantageous section. The advantageous interval continues until the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value or the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, and the advantageous interval even if the performance state falls to the non-AT state. The situation where you are staying in occurs. That is, in the present embodiment, there are a case where the user stays in the normal section and a case where the user stays in the advantageous section in the non-AT state. In this way, even when the production state is in the non-AT state while staying in the advantageous section, AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, but unlike the normal section, the lottery state of the AT lottery is in a low probability state. And the high probability state, the winning probability is higher in the high probability state than in the low probability state, and the AT lottery is performed with a winning probability of about 1/64. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal section is a section in which the winning probability of AT lottery is fixed, and the advantageous section is a section in which the winning probability of AT lottery varies.

  In this embodiment, when the advantageous section ends when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set to the threshold value when the effect state is the AT state. Even if not reached, the AT state is forcibly ended by the initialization process, and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. If the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value even if the production state is the AT preparation state, the AT preparation state is forcibly terminated without shifting to the AT state, and the production state is performed by the initialization process. Is initialized to a non-AT state. That is, in this embodiment, the situation that is advantageous to the player to perform the initialization process based on the value of the clear counter 1917 is prevented from continuing for a long period of time. The threshold value of the clear counter 1917 can be set so that the number of medals acquired (difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of medals) in the advantageous section does not exceed a predetermined number. In this embodiment, the advantageous section Is set so that the number of medals won cannot exceed 3000. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 1917 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated by 3000 pieces / tilt value. Here, the slope value is an expected value of the net increase in the number of medals per game by the assist time game and the bonus game, and in this embodiment, the highest payout rate among the six setting values of setting 1 to setting 6 In setting 6 where the expected value is high, the slope value is two. For this reason, the number of games in the advantageous section of this embodiment is 1500 (= 3000/2 pieces), and after the shift to the advantageous section, “1” is set in the clear counter 1917, and the number of games for 1500 times. A threshold is set so that the advantageous section ends when the number of games is counted. Thus, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit number and the inclination value of the number of acquired medals, and can be arbitrarily set depending on the design. The threshold value of the clear counter 1917 can be an arbitrary value as long as the maximum number of games in the advantageous section is 1500 or less, and may be a fixed value that does not depend on the slope value.

  In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the BB state, a bonus game can be performed in which the winning probability of the small role is higher than the normal state, and the effect state is AT in the advantageous section. In the state, when the hitting bell is elected, the correct batting order is notified so that it is possible to play an assist time game that makes it easier to win 8 small roles than in the non-AT state. The bonus game and the assist time game in the AT state in the advantageous section provide a game where the player increases the number of medals he has. In the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in a situation where the BB state is stayed in the advantageous section, whether or not the end condition is satisfied for the BB state. The advantageous section is ended and the initialization process is executed to return to the normal section where the assist time game cannot be performed. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is a limit on the continuation of the advantageous section in which the assist time game can be performed, and even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, even in the middle of the BB state. Since the initialization process is performed to return to the normal section, it is possible to prevent an excessive number of medals from being acquired in the advantageous section, which greatly exceeds the designed 3000 expected value.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, it is determined whether or not to start the advantageous section by performing the AT lottery, and the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) If the big bonus (BB) is not won, the normal section will be maintained from the time of winning the big bonus (BB) until the end of the BB state that shifts with the big bonus (BB) winning, and at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) When the AT lottery performed is won, an advantageous section is started with the big bonus (BB) winning, and the update of the clear counter 1917 is started. In other words, in the present embodiment, with respect to winning of the big bonus (BB) related to the shift to the advantageous section where the assist time game can be performed, the clear counter is set in the BB state where the shift is made by winning the big bonus (BB). By updating the value of 1917, it becomes possible to suitably adjust the medal acquisition amount in the advantageous section to suppress the shooting performance.

  In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section always continues even after the big bonus (BB) is won, and the BB state to be shifted by the big bonus (BB) is always The value of the clear counter 1917 is updated by setting the advantageous section. In this way, medals acquired in the BB state transferred by winning the big bonus (BB) won in the advantageous section are also included in the medals acquired in the advantageous section. It is possible to prevent an excessive number of medals from exceeding the 3000 expected acquisition value.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, an internal lottery with the big bonus (BB) as a lottery object is performed, and as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the big bonus (BB) is won. Based on the BB establishment state and the BB state based on the big bonus (BB) winning, the game state is the normal state in the normal section as shown in FIG. While the AT lottery is performed, the AT lottery is not executed even in the normal section when the gaming state is the BB establishment state or the BB state. For example, in the BB establishment state, there may be a case where a winning mode of cherry, watermelon A, or common bell is obtained by an internal lottery, but even if these winning modes are obtained, the gaming state is the BB establishment state. The AT lottery is not executed, and in the BB state, none of the winning aspects of cherry, watermelon A, common bell, and big bonus (BB) can be obtained. Absent. That is, after winning the big bonus (BB) in the regular section, if the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is not won, the winning big bonus (BB) is won and the big bonus is won. In the gaming machine capable of performing the assist time game while providing the big bonus (BB) as a lottery object because the opportunity to move to the advantageous section cannot be obtained until the BB state to be shifted by the winning of the bonus (BB) is completed. The player can be motivated to actively win the winning big bonus (BB). In addition, in the BB state, in order to allow a bonus game with an increased probability of winning a small role, according to the specification in which AT lottery is performed according to the winning mode of some small roles, if AT lottery is performed even in the BB state, In this embodiment, when the gaming state is the BB state, the AT lottery is not performed even in the normal section. Thus, the fairness of the game can be ensured by keeping the winning probability of the AT lottery in the normal section constant.

  It should be noted that in the BB established state, the winning lottery that triggers the AT lottery is not obtained, so the AT lottery may not be performed. For example, the AT lottery is performed only when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state. If constituted in this way, in the BB establishment state, since the winning mode in which the big bonus (BB) is won is not obtained, the AT lottery can be prevented from being performed. Further, there is a case where a winning mode that can be obtained even in the normal state is obtained in the BB state, but the AT lottery may not be performed because the gaming state is not the normal state (because of the BB state). For example, an internal lottery table is provided so that the winning mode of watermelon A, cherry, and common bell can be obtained even in the BB state. Even if the watermelon A, cherry, and common bell are won in the internal lottery in the BB state, the gaming state is normal. Since it is not in the state, it is possible to prevent the AT lottery from being performed.

  Even in the advantageous zone, when the BB is established, the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated, but it is preferable not to perform AT lottery or extra lottery. In this way, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 will continue to be updated without receiving the AT lottery or the extra lottery until the big bonus (BB) is won. The player can be motivated to actively win the winning big bonus (BB).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery is fixed while suppressing the shooting property by performing the initialization process even when the gaming state is in the middle of the BB state based on the end of the advantageous section. It is possible to attract a player's interest by providing a new gameability that provides a section in which the winning probability of AT lottery varies.

  In the present embodiment, the AT lottery is executed when the user is staying in the normal section in the normal state. However, in the normal state, the type of replay or the replay subject to the lottery is determined according to the RT state. While the winning probabilities are different, the winning probabilities for small roles (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, watermelon A, watermelon B, watermelon C, cherry, common bell) and big bonus (BB) will vary depending on the RT state. Regardless of whether the winning probability does not change depending on the change in the RT state, the winning mode is adopted as an AT lottery execution opportunity. Especially in the normal section, watermelon A, cherry, common bell or big When a bonus (BB) win is obtained, an AT lottery is performed. In other words, in this embodiment, in the normal section, the AT lottery can be performed only when the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the change of the RT state is obtained, so that any RT state can be set. Guarantees fairness when players are switched in the regular section in that the opportunity to receive an AT lottery can be given fairly even if the player is switched in the situation where they are staying can do.

  Further, in the present embodiment, setting values can be set between six setting values of setting 1 to setting 6 so that the probability obtained by internal lottery varies according to the setting value for some winning modes. However, as for the watermelon A, cherry, common bell, and big bonus (BB), which are the winning modes that trigger the execution of AT lottery in the normal section, the winning mode in which the winning probability does not vary depending on the set value. It has become. In particular, in the present embodiment, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C are provided as a winning mode for a watermelon including three small roles, and when winning the three small roles, as shown in FIG. 20, the first reel R1 It consists of the watermelon symbol A “WMA” and the watermelon symbol B “WMB” on the lower right ineffective line (the line not used for winning determination) consisting of the upper stage, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the lower stage of the third reel R3. A right-down watermelon-aligned stop mode appears where the symbol combination is displayed, but for watermelon A, the winning probability is the same for any set value, but for watermelon B and watermelon C The winning probability varies according to the value.

  That is, in this embodiment, the probability that the stop mode of watermelon matching appears varies depending on the set value, but even if the stop mode of watermelon matching appears, the AT lottery is performed only when the watermelon A is won. Therefore, even if you change the appearance rate of three small roles according to the set value, the AT lottery is performed with a certain probability without being affected by the set value in the normal section, and the advantageous section at any set value The winning expectation degree of the AT lottery in the normal section at the time of winning the three small bonuses can be changed according to the set value while giving the opportunity to shift to the same. Further, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the AT state in the advantageous section, the extra lottery is performed when the watermelon A is won, but the extra lottery is not performed when the watermelon B or the watermelon C is won. In other words, in the present embodiment, the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is set as the winning mode that triggers the execution of the lottery. Can be given equally.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the medal acquisition performance related to the assist time game is set to the set value while changing the probability of obtaining the winning mode including the three small roles in the internal lottery according to the set value. As a result, the appearance of the right-down watermelon-aligned stop mode that indicates the winning of a three-piece small role leads to the expectation for the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section and the expectation for the addition in the AT state. It is possible to realize a game specification in which the winning expectation degree of the AT lottery or the extra lottery varies depending on the set value at the time of the appearance of the watermelon matching stop mode.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the expected value for the winning of the three small bonuses changes according to the set value, so the difference in winning probability according to the set value of watermelon B or watermelon C depends on the set value. On the other hand, for watermelon A, the winning probability does not change due to the change of the set value, but it functions as an execution opportunity for AT lottery or extra lottery. In other words, according to the present embodiment, the probability of obtaining a part of the winning modes varies according to the set value, but the winning mode in which the winning probability does not vary depending on the set value is changed from the normal interval to the advantageous interval. From the normal section while changing the payout rate according to the set value by becoming an execution trigger of the extra lottery to increase the number of times of AT lottery related to transition and assist time games in the advantageous section It is possible to realize a specification in which the winning probability of the addition lottery for increasing the number of executions of the AT lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section and the assist time game in the advantageous section is constant.

  According to the present embodiment, in the random determination process of the internal lottery, the winning mode in which the winning probability varies according to the set value is determined following the winning mode (winning section) in which the winning probability does not vary depending on the set value. , AT lottery is performed when any of Big Bonus (BB), Watermelon A, Cherry, or Common Bell, which does not change the winning probability depending on the setting value in the normal section, is obtained, and in the assist time game in the advantageous section, depending on the setting value Since one of the watermelon A, cherry, and common bell that does not change the winning probability is obtained, an extra lottery is performed. Therefore, depending on the setting value, the AT lottery and the extra lottery are performed only in the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change. It can be clarified in processing that this is performed.

  In this embodiment, the probability of obtaining a watermelon winning aspect from setting 1 to setting 6 increases, and the higher the setting value, the higher the appearance rate of the watermelon-aligned stopping aspect indicating a watermelon winning, The winning probability of watermelon A, which is the trigger for executing the AT lottery and the extra lottery, is constant regardless of the set value, and the winning probability of the AT lottery and extra lottery based on the winning of watermelon A is also constant regardless of the set value. As a result, the lower the set value, the higher the expected expectation of the AT lottery or the extra lottery when the stop mode with watermelons appears.

  However, unlike the present embodiment, the higher the set value, the higher the expected expectation of the AT lottery or the extra lottery can be configured. For example, as shown in FIG. Cherry A, Cherry B, and Cherry C are provided as winning modes for the cherry including the role (small role 7), and these are set as the winning modes in the internal lottery in the normal state, the RB established state, and the BB established state. . Since the winning mode of Cherry A, Cherry B, and Cherry C is a mode in which two winning combinations are combined with one winning combination, if these winning modes are obtained, the winning two winning combinations are given priority. The stop position of each reel is determined so that there is a case where one small winning combination may win when two small winning combinations cannot be won.

  In the normal state, the RB establishment state, and the BB establishment state, the probability that the winning mode of each cherry is obtained by the internal lottery is not changed. In this case, Cherry A is set as the winning mode that triggers the execution of AT lottery in the regular section and the extra lottery in the advantageous section, while Cherry B and Cherry C do not trigger the execution of the AT lottery and the extra lottery. As shown in FIG. 21B, the winning probability does not change for any setting value for Cherry A, and the winning probability changes for Cherry B and Cherry C according to the setting value. Configure. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 21 (B), the higher the set value, the lower the probability that one of the cherries will be won in the internal lottery. As a result, the higher the set value, the smaller the winning of two small roles. It is possible to increase the winning expectation degree of the AT lottery in the normal section at the time and the extra lottery in the advantageous section.

  In this embodiment, the winning expectation degree of the AT lottery and the extra lottery at the time of winning the predetermined role whose winning probability changes according to the set value is changed, but the AT lottery and the extra lottery are not necessarily changed. The winning expectation may not be configured to change.

  For example, a batting order unquestionable bell is provided as a winning mode in which an eight-sheet small role (small portion 6) and two small-numbered roles (small role 8) are won, and the winning probability is determined according to the set value. The higher the set value is, the higher the probability that an unquestionable ordering bell will be obtained in the internal lottery. When the batting order unquestionable bell is won, the AT lottery and the extra lottery are not performed, and the eight small roles are always won regardless of the stop operation in any manner. In other words, depending on the batting order unrecognized bell, two small roles are not won. On the other hand, with respect to cherries in which two small combinations are elected alone (in the case of a winning mode in which two small combinations can win a prize, it may not be single winning), the winning probability should not change depending on the set value. In the normal section, an AT lottery is performed at the time of cherry win, and in an advantageous section, an extra lottery is performed at the time of cherry win. In this way, as a winning mode including two small roles in the internal lottery, when a batting order unquestionable bell whose winning probability changes according to the set value and a cherry whose winning probability does not change depending on the set value is provided, 8 pieces The specification can be such that when a small role is won, there is no expectation of winning an AT lottery or an additional lottery, and when two small roles are won, an expectation of winning an AT lottery or an additional lottery can be expected.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of bonuses are provided, and some bonuses can be used as an opportunity to move to an advantageous section when winning, but the remaining bonuses are not triggered to move to an advantageous section even if winning. . Specifically, a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB) are provided, and when the regular bonus (RB) is won, the AT lottery is not performed in the normal section. A lottery was performed, and it was configured to shift to an advantageous section by winning the AT lottery. In this way, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed even in the normal section in the RB establishment state or the RB state, so the regular bonus (RB) won in the normal section is Even if winning, the RB state that shifts by winning the regular bonus (RB) without changing to the advantageous section is set to the normal section, and when winning the big bonus (BB) in the normal section and winning the AT lottery, The BB state that shifts by winning the big bonus (BB) is set as an advantageous section.

  In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) varies according to the set value, so that when the regular bonus (RB) wins in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state. However, if there is no setting difference in the probability of winning the regular bonus (RB), the RB state is set with the regular bonus (RB) winning or winning in the advantageous section as the ending condition of the advantageous section. It is also possible to configure so that is always set to the normal section.

  If multiple types of bonuses are provided as in the present embodiment, and some bonuses can be used as an opportunity to move to an advantageous section, the remaining bonuses are not provided as an opportunity to move to an advantageous section. As shown in 8 (B), for regular bonuses (RB) that do not trigger the transition to the advantageous section, the winning probability in the internal lottery may vary depending on the set value. As for the big bonus (BB) that can be, depending on the setting value, the winning probability in the internal lottery is not changed, so that the winning probability depends on the setting value according to the setting value provided for the bonus. It is possible to prevent a setting difference from occurring in the rate of transition to the advantageous section while changing the rate. In the present embodiment, even if a regular bonus (RB) having a setting difference in the winning probability is won, an additional lottery is not performed in the advantageous section, and an additional lottery is performed when a winning mode having no setting difference in the winning probability is obtained. Therefore, it is possible to give the opportunity to add in the advantageous section evenly regardless of the set value, and to prevent the degree of advantage related to the assist time game from changing according to the set value. it can.

  In this embodiment, the case where the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) provided as bonuses are each elected as an example has been described. However, the bonus and the small role overlap. The winning mode including the same bonus, such as the winning mode for winning and the winning mode in which the bonus and replay are duplicated, are selected, and some of the winning modes among the multiple types of winning modes including the same bonus are selected. The winning probability changes depending on the set value, and the remaining winning aspects are set so that the winning probability does not change depending on the set value, and the bonus winning probability increases as the set value increases. May be. Also in this case, when a bonus winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is obtained, an AT lottery or an additional lottery can be executed, while a bonus winning mode in which the winning probability changes according to the set value. If it is obtained, the AT lottery or the extra lottery is not executed. In this way, the winning mode of bonuses with different settings will not affect the medal acquisition performance related to assist time games, but the bonus medal acquisition performance will affect the medal acquisition performance of the gaming machine. Setting differences can be provided. For example, there is a single winning mode in which the regular bonus (RB) is won independently and an overlapping winning mode in which the regular bonus (RB) is won in duplicate with the normal replay 1, and the single winning mode is the winning probability according to the set value. However, there will be no trigger for the AT lottery or the extra lottery, but if the duplicate winning mode is set to trigger the AT lottery or the extra lottery without changing the winning probability depending on the set value, the regular bonus ( (RB) The winning probability is changed according to the set value, and in the winning mode including the regular bonus (RB), the lottery for the transition to the advantageous section and the lottery for increasing the number of times of assist time games in the advantageous section are executed. Will be able to. Even in such an example, in the random determination process of the internal lottery, the regular bonus (RB) single winning is performed rather than the winning mode in which the winning probability varies depending on the set value including the overlapping winning mode of the regular bonus (RB). It is possible to preferentially determine the winning mode in which the winning probability does not vary depending on the setting value including the mode.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is provided with a section indicator SEC that makes it possible to identify whether or not you are staying in the advantageous section by notifying the advantageous section in the normal section and performing the advantageous section notification in the advantageous section, Specifically, it is notified that the LED stays in the advantageous section by changing the lighting state of the LED incorporated in the section indicator SEC in the advantageous section from the normal section, and AT lottery can be executed in the advantageous section. In the situation, it is possible to grasp whether the player is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player from changing in an advantageous section where the winning probability of the AT lottery varies, and to ensure the fairness of the game.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when an AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, the advantageous section is continued after the end of the BB state which shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). Since the assist time game can be performed and whether the BB state is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section can be identified by the lighting state of the section indicator SEC, the assist time game is completed after the end of the BB state. In spite of being able to perform the game, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player is replaced with the end of the BB state, and to ensure the fairness of the game.

  In this embodiment, the AT lottery states are two types of low probability state and high probability state, but there are three or more types of AT lottery states that are not selected in the normal zone in the advantageous zone. It may be variable between. For example, in addition to the high probability state, it is possible to provide an ultra-high probability state (for example, the winning probability is about 1/32) that is easier to win the AT lottery than the high probability state. And a very high probability state may be switched.

  In the advantageous section, the lottery state of the AT lottery may not be set according to the RT state, but the lottery state may be changed to change the lottery state. For example, when a cherry, watermelon A, or common bell is won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select a low probability state or a high probability state. Further, the lottery state may be shifted according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, a high probability state may be set when a cherry, watermelon A, or common bell is won, and a low probability state may be set when lost. Further, when a stop operation is performed in the correct answer order when the hitting order bell is won, the high probability state may be set, and when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order, the low probability state may be set. In addition, the first high probability state that is easy to win when winning a cherry as the high probability state, the second high probability state that is easy to win when winning the watermelon A, the third high probability state that is easy to win when winning the common bell, etc. Sometimes transitions to the first high probability state, transitions to the second high probability state when winning the watermelon A, transitions to the third high probability state when winning the common bell, and if the same lottery opportunity continues, it is easy to win the AT lottery It is good also as such a structure.

  In this embodiment, the initialization process is executed when the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value. However, the AT lottery is won after the end of the AT state without providing the probability variation counter 1916. Alternatively, the initialization process may be executed on condition that the state has shifted to a predetermined RT state.

  For example, if the transition to the non-RT state is a condition for the initialization process, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end standby state, the transition is made to the non-AT state. If the counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous period continues, and the initialization process is executed when the player shifts to the non-RT state by winning a single piece without winning the AT lottery. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section when the AT state is terminated and the non-AT state and the RT1 state are maintained.

  Also, for example, if the transition to the RT1 state is a condition for the initialization process, the transition to the non-AT state is made when one winning combination wins in the AT end standby state, but the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value. If not, the advantageous section continues, and the initialization process is executed when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line without winning the AT lottery and the RT1 state is entered. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section when the AT state is not in the non-AT state and the non-RT state after the end of the AT state.

  In this embodiment, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is decremented by a certain value every time a game is played, and counts the number of games, but counts the number of transitions to the AT state. It may be a thing. For example, “3” is set as the possible number of transitions to the AT state when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and this corresponds to a transition from the value of the probability variation counter 1916 to one AT state when the AT state ends. The constant value “1” is subtracted. In this way, at the end of the third AT state, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value “0” and the advantageous interval ends. When the advantageous interval ends, the initialization process is executed, and the AT state is repeated three times. Until the transition, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section even in the non-AT state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the extra lottery is won in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is added. However, when the extra lottery is won, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is added. May be performed. In this way, the period until the initialization process is executed after the end of the AT state is extended, so that it is possible to achieve a game specification that makes it easier to obtain an opportunity to transition to the AT state again. In addition, an extra lottery (hereinafter referred to as a second extra lottery) for adding an extra value to the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is performed separately from an extra lottery (hereinafter referred to as a first extra lottery) for adding an extra value to the AT end determination counter 1915. Alternatively, the winning mode in which the first extra lottery is performed may be the same as or different from the winning mode in which the second extra lottery is performed.

  In this embodiment, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is reset to a predetermined value every time the state shifts to the AT state. Sometimes, the update is interrupted, the value is carried over, and the update is resumed from the value at the time of interruption after the end of the AT state.

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

  Further, in this embodiment, the AT lottery and the extra lottery are determined by using a random value for internal lottery. However, when a predetermined lottery result is obtained in the internal lottery, the AT lottery or extra lottery is obtained. It is also possible to acquire a dedicated random value for and determine the success or failure by referring to a lottery table in which the acquired random value is associated with either winning or losing.

  In this embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1915 is decremented in the AT state, but it may be incremented. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value “0”. In the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set every time one game is performed. Incremental update that adds a constant value “1” corresponding to one game, and the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the number of games of 50:50) The AT state may be terminated based on the above. Also, in this example, when an extra lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), an update is performed to subtract a given value from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted before reaching the threshold value is increased), or a given value is added to the threshold value to end the AT state. Reset (update) the threshold value as a condition (the threshold value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is increased so that the number of counts until the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value from the current value increases) Update).

  In the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1915 counts the number of games in the AT state, but the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated according to the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals. The end of the AT state may be managed by a so-called difference number obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted from the number of payouts. For example, on the basis of winning the AT lottery, a value “100” corresponding to 100 medals, which is the difference number as an AT condition end condition, is set in the AT end determination counter 1915, and once in the AT state. Each time a game is played, an increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to the number of medals inserted (specified number of insertions) to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and when a small role is won and medals are paid out. A decrement update is performed to subtract a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) (below the threshold value) The AT state may be terminated based on the fact that Further, in this example, when an extra lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), a given added value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is set to a threshold value from the current value). Alternatively, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts to be increased until the value reaches is reached).

  Also, for example, based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value “0”. In the AT state, the number of medals inserted every time a game is played (specified insertion) The value corresponding to the number of medals is subtracted from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and the decrement update is performed. Incremental update to be added to the value of, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1915 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the difference number of 100: 100 sheets) The AT state may be terminated based on (). Also, in this example, when an extra lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), an update is performed to subtract a given value from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted before reaching the threshold value is increased), or a given value is added to the threshold value to end the AT state. Reset (update) the threshold value as a condition (the threshold value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is increased so that the number of counts until the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value from the current value increases) Update).

  In the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 as the transition to the advantageous section, and in the advantageous section, the update starts from a state where the value of the clear counter 1917 is “1”. However, the update is started from the state where the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value “0”, and the advantageous section is ended based on the value of the clear counter 1917 reaching the threshold value “1500”. You may make it make it.

  In this embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is incrementally updated in the advantageous section, but it may be decremented. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, a value “1500” corresponding to 1500 times, which is the number of games to be the end condition of the advantageous section, is set in the clear counter 1917, and one game is performed in the advantageous section. Each time the counter value is cleared, a decrement is updated by subtracting a constant value “1” corresponding to one game from the value of the clear counter 1917, and the stored value of the clear counter 1917 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0). Thus, the advantageous section may be terminated.

  In the present embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is updated every time a game is played, and the value of the clear counter 1917 corresponds to the number of games in the advantageous section. It may be updated according to the number of medals inserted and the number of medals. In this way, it is possible to manage whether or not to end the advantageous section with a so-called difference number (acquired number) obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted from the number of medals paid out.

  For example, based on having won the AT lottery, a value “3000” corresponding to 3000 medals, which is the difference number as an end condition of the advantageous section, is set in the clear counter 1917, and one game is played in the advantageous section. Is incremented by adding a value corresponding to the number of medals inserted (specified number of insertions) to the value of the clear counter 1917 each time a small role is won and the medals are paid out when the medals are paid out. The decrement is updated by subtracting the value corresponding to the value of the clear counter 1917, and it is advantageous based on the value of the clear counter 1917 reaching a threshold value (for example, 0) (being less than the threshold value). The section may be terminated.

  Also, for example, a predetermined value (for example, 3) is set in the clear counter 1917 based on the fact that the AT lottery has been won. The increment corresponding to the value of the clear counter 1917 is added to the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out when the small role is won and the medals are paid out. The advantageous interval is terminated based on the fact that the value of the clear counter 1917 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the difference number of 3000: 3000 sheets) (or exceeds the threshold value). You may do it. In this example, the clear counter 1917 is not set to a predetermined value when the AT lottery is won, and the clear counter 1917 is updated from the initial value “0” in the advantageous section to reach the threshold value “3000”. The advantageous section may be terminated based on what has been done (or has exceeded “3000”).

  In addition, when the difference count of medals is counted in the AT end determination counter 1915 and the clear counter 1917, when the replay wins, the number of medals paid out is treated as “0”, and the next game of the game won by the replay ( In replay, it is desirable not to update the counter by treating the number of medals inserted as “0”.

  In this embodiment, the AT lottery is performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section. However, the AT lottery is not performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the BB state is displayed in the advantageous section. In such a case, an AT lottery may be performed. More specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed. Therefore, in the BB state where the big bonus (BB) is won, the player stays in the normal section. However, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the player stays in the advantageous section in the BB state which is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB). In this case, the AT lottery can be executed in the game in the BB state. In this case, in the internal lottery table referred to in the BB state, a winning mode such as cherry or watermelon A can be provided, and when these winning modes are obtained, an AT lottery can be performed. As for the regular bonus (RB), since the winning probability varies depending on the set value, even if the RB state stays in the advantageous section, the AT lottery is not performed in the RB state. In this way, it is possible to provide a gaming specification that the AT lottery cannot be received in the BB state in the normal section, but the AT lottery can be received in the BB state in the advantageous section. If a big bonus (BB) is won while assist time games are being played in an advantageous section, an additional lottery is performed instead of an AT lottery in the BB state in which the big bonus (BB) is won. On the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the situation where the assist time game is performed in the advantageous section, it is added in the RB state where the regular bonus (RB) shifts in accordance with the winning of the regular bonus (RB). The lottery may not be performed. If the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the BB state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends and initialization processing is performed even if the BB state termination condition is not satisfied. In the BB state, even if the AT lottery can be received by staying in the advantageous section before the initialization process, but staying in the normal section after the initialization process. Since it becomes impossible to receive the AT lottery in the BB state, it is possible to prevent the advantageous section from continuing for a long time.

  In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small role is increased in the BB state. However, in the BB state, the lottery flags of all the small roles are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. In a game in the BB state, a bonus game may be performed with respect to any one or more of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 such that the pull-in range is narrower than other reels.

  In this case, when the gaming state is the BB state, for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, the rotation corresponding to the pressed stop button is within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed. The inner reel stops, but for the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. When the rotating third reel R3 is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the third reel R3 is stopped at the stop position of the rotating third reel R3 from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. The number of frames required to do so is determined within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame (predetermined pull-in range). The reel control means 130 corresponds to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 that has been pressed in the BB state. When the symbol is located within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame with respect to the display position on the active line at the time when the stop button B3 is pressed, the lottery flag is set to the winning state. Control is performed to stop the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the corresponding symbol is displayed at the display position on the active line.

  In this aspect, in the BB state, a game in which a small role is always selected in each game can be performed, and the player has a game held by the game in the BB state and the assist time game in the advantageous section. Providing a game with increasing media. Even in this mode, there is a restriction on the continuation of the advantageous section in which the assist time game can be performed, and when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, a predetermined initial value is obtained even in the middle of the BB state. If it is made to return to the normal section by performing the conversion process, it will be possible to prevent excessive medals from being obtained in the advantageous section, which will greatly exceed the expected expected value of design, so it is preferable to acquire medals It becomes possible to adjust the performance and suppress the shooting characteristics.

  In addition, an internal lottery table is provided so that the batting order bell is won in the RB state and the BB state. In the normal section, it may be prohibited to perform the winning assistance effect at the time of winning the batting order bell in the RB state or the BB state so that the correct batting order is not notified.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the end condition of the AT state based on the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is satisfied, the AT end standby state is entered and then the non-AT state is entered, but the AT end standby state is not provided. A mode may be adopted, and when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, the state may be shifted to the non-AT state regardless of the RT state.

  In the present embodiment, it is configured to perform AT lottery in the non-AT state and determine whether or not to shift to the AT state. To determine whether or not to shift to the CZ state (another example of the special effect state), perform an AT lottery in the CZ state, and shift the effect state to the AT state based on winning the AT lottery. May be. Even when the CZ state is provided, the performance state is fixed to the non-AT state in the normal section, and the CZ state can be set in the advantageous section, and the non-AT state does not include the CZ state.

  FIG. 22 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine in the embodiment in which the CZ state is provided as the effect state.

  In this aspect, the storage unit 190 further includes a CZ end determination counter 1920, and the privilege granting unit 175 performs the CZ lottery (specific lottery) according to the result of the internal lottery instead of the AT lottery when the production state is the non-AT state. Other example), the CZ lottery is won, and the production state is shifted to the CZ state as shown in FIG. 23. In the CZ state, the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery to shift to the AT state. Determine whether or not. The CZ lottery execution trigger and the AT lottery execution trigger may be the same or different. In the following, the CZ lottery execution opportunity will be described as common bell, watermelon A, cherry, and big bonus (BB) winning, and the AT lottery execution opportunity will be described as batting order bell and big bonus (BB) winning. As for the CZ lottery, the internal lottery is determined by referring to the CZ lottery table in which winning or losing is associated with the random values associated with the common bell, watermelon A, cherry, and big bonus (BB). As for the AT lottery, whether or not to win is determined with reference to an AT lottery table in which winning or losing is associated with random numbers associated with the batting order bell and big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery. That is, random numbers for internal lottery are also used in CZ lottery.

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

  When the CZ lottery is won, the privilege granting unit 175 sets a predetermined value (for example, 8) corresponding to the number of games (for example, 8) as a termination condition in the CZ end determination counter 1920, and plays the game in the CZ state. Every time it is performed, a certain value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920. When the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition for the CZ state is satisfied and the effect state returns to the non-AT state. On the other hand, even when the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied. In this case, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is set to “0”. In addition, after completion of the CZ state, the state shifts to the AT preparation state. In the CZ state, a winning assist effect is performed when the batting order bell is won, but a winning assist effect related to the batting order replay is not performed. That is, the CZ state is a simple AT state. In the CZ state, the AT lottery is won at about 1/8 when the batting order bell is won, and the AT lottery is always won when the big bonus (BB) is won.

  In addition, when the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the privilege granting means 175 increases the number of games that can change the lottery state of the CZ lottery to the probability variation counter 1916 when the CZ state ends. The corresponding predetermined value “32” is set in the probability variation counter 1916, and in the game in the non-AT state after the end of the CZ state, for example, each time a game is played, the start lever SL is pressed. In response to this, decrement update is performed by subtracting a constant value “1” corresponding to one game from the value of the probability variation counter 1916.

  Then, when the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is not the initial value (for example, 0), the privilege granting unit 175 sets the CZ lottery state according to the RT state, and the RT state is the non-RT state or the RT1 state. In either case, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to a low probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to a high probability state.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 24, the advantageous section starts by winning the CZ lottery in the normal section, and when the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value (for example, 0) after the end of the CZ state, the advantageous section Is completed, and the bonus granting means 175 performs initialization processing based on the end of the advantageous section. In the game until the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the CZ lottery is won and the CZ state is entered. When shifting, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is set to the predetermined value “32” again when the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery.

  In particular, in this example, as shown in FIG. 24, when winning the CZ lottery in the normal section and shifting to the advantageous section, a game for acquiring the right to perform the assist time game by receiving the AT lottery in the advantageous section is performed. In the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed regardless of the gaming state in which the player is staying. When the gaming state is the normal state in the normal section, the CZ lottery is performed. Is in the BB established state or the BB state, the CZ lottery is not executed even in the normal section, and neither the CZ lottery nor the AT lottery is executed in the internal middle standby section. That is, after winning the big bonus (BB) in the normal section, if the CZ lottery performed when the big bonus (BB) is won is not won, the big bonus (BB) is won and the big bonus (BB) is won. The big bonus won in the gaming machine that can play the assist time game while providing the big bonus (BB) as a lottery object because it is not possible to obtain the opportunity to move to the advantageous section until the BB state that shifts due to winning is completed. Motivation to positively win (BB) can be given to the player. In addition, in the BB state, in order to perform a bonus game with an increased probability of winning a small role, in the specification of performing the CZ lottery according to the winning mode of some small roles, if the CZ lottery is performed even in the BB state, In this embodiment, when the gaming state is the BB state, the CZ lottery is not performed even in the normal section. Therefore, the fairness of the game can be ensured by keeping the winning probability of the CZ lottery in the normal section constant.

  It should be noted that in the BB established state, the winning aspect that triggers the CZ lottery is not obtained, so the CZ lottery may not be performed. For example, the CZ lottery is performed only when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state. If constituted in this way, in the BB establishment state, since the winning mode in which the big bonus (BB) is won is not obtained, the CZ lottery can be prevented from being performed. Further, there are cases in which a winning mode that can be obtained in the normal state is obtained in the BB state, but the CZ lottery may not be performed because the gaming state is not the normal state (because of the BB state). For example, an internal lottery table is provided so that the winning mode of watermelon A, cherry, and common bell can be obtained even in the BB state. Even if the watermelon A, cherry, and common bell are won in the internal lottery in the BB state, the gaming state is normal. Since it is not a state, CZ lottery can be prevented from being performed.

  Even in the advantageous zone, when the BB is established, the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated, but it is preferable not to perform CZ lottery or the like. In this way, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the CZ lottery cannot be received until the big bonus (BB) is won, but the clear counter 1917 will continue to be updated. The player can be motivated to actively win the big bonus (BB). Even in the advantageous zone, it is preferable that the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated while the RB is established, but the CZ lottery is not performed. In this way, the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, and the opportunity to receive the CZ lottery cannot be obtained until the RB state ends, but the update of the clear counter 1917 is continued, so in the advantageous section The player can be motivated to actively win the elected regular bonus (RB).

  Also, in this example, the CZ lottery is executed when staying in the normal section in the normal state. However, in the normal state, the type of replay to be selected and the winning probability of the replay according to the RT state On the other hand, winning probabilities of small roles (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, watermelon A, watermelon B, watermelon C, cherry, common bell) and big bonus (BB) are related to changes in RT state. The winning mode, which is constant and the winning probability does not change depending on the fluctuation of the RT state, is adopted as an opportunity to execute the CZ lottery. Especially in the normal section, the watermelon A, cherry, common bell or big bonus ( When winning of BB) is obtained, the CZ lottery is performed. That is, in this example, in the normal section, it is possible to give a chance to receive the CZ lottery even if the player is changed in any RT state, It is possible to ensure fairness at the time of replacement of players in the normal section.

  In this example, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C are provided as the watermelon winning mode, and the winning probabilities for watermelon A are the same for all setting values, while for watermelon B and watermelon C, the setting values are the same. Since the winning probability varies according to the watermelon A, the probability that the stop mode of watermelon matching appears varies depending on the set value, but even if the stop mode of watermelon matching appears, the watermelon A Since the CZ lottery is performed only at the time of winning, the CZ lottery is performed with a certain probability without being affected by the set value in the normal section even if the appearance rate of three small roles is changed according to the set value. The winning expectation degree of the CZ lottery in the normal section at the time of winning the three small bonuses can be changed according to the set value.

  Even if it is configured to shift to the AT state via the CZ state in this way, it is related to the assist time game while changing the probability of obtaining the winning mode including the three small roles in the internal lottery according to the set value. The appearance performance of the attached medal is not changed according to the set value, and the appearance of the stop mode of the right-down watermelon alignment indicating the winning of three small roles leads to the expectation for the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section, It is possible to realize a gaming specification in which the winning expectation degree of the CZ lottery varies according to the set value when the stop mode with the right-down watermelon matching appears.

  Further, in this mode, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, it is determined whether or not to start the advantageous section by performing the CZ lottery, and the CZ lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is determined. If not won, the regular section will be maintained from the time of winning the Big Bonus (BB) until the end of the BB state that shifts with the Big Bonus (BB) winning, and when the Big Bonus (BB) is won When the winning CZ lottery is won, an advantageous section is started in accordance with the big bonus (BB) winning and the update of the clear counter 1917 is started. That is, also in the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, for the winning of the big bonus (BB) related to the transition to the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set in the BB state that is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB). By updating, it becomes possible to suitably adjust the amount of medals acquired in the advantageous section to suppress the shooting performance.

  Also in this example, a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB) are provided as bonus winning modes, and the winning probability for the big bonus (BB) is the same at any set value while the regular bonus (RB) )), The winning probability varies according to the set value. The winning of the big bonus (BB) is used as an opportunity to execute the CZ lottery in the normal section and the AT lottery in the advantageous section, while the regular bonus (RB) ) Won't perform CZ lottery or AT lottery. For this reason, even in this example, the regular bonus (RB) with a set difference in the winning probability is changed according to the set value, and the transition rate from the normal section to the advantageous section or the AT state in the advantageous section is changed. The transition rate of the game is not changed depending on the set value, and the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game can be prevented from changing according to the set value.

  Further, in this mode, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the game until the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the decrement update of the probability variation counter 1916 is interrupted, and the big change is made until the end of the BB state. The value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 at the time of winning the bonus (BB) is held, but if the winning is made by the CZ lottery performed based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), the state shifts to the CZ state after the end of the BB state. When the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is set to the predetermined value “32” again, and the CZ lottery performed based on the big bonus (BB) winning is performed. If it is not won, the advantageous section ends with the return of the performance state to the non-AT state after the end of the BB state. Privilege granting means 175 is initialized to the initial value the value of the probability change the counter 1916 performs initialization processing based on the completion.

  Even when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the game until the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the decrement update of the probability variation counter 1916 is interrupted, and the regular bonus (RB) until the end of the RB state. Although the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 at the time of winning is held, the CZ lottery is not performed at the time of winning the regular bonus (RB), so after the end of the RB state, the performance state returns to the non-AT state and the regular bonus ( The decrement update of the probability variation counter 1916 is resumed from the value at the time of interruption due to the winning of (RB).

  Further, in this aspect, in the initialization process, not only the AT end determination counter 1915 and the probability variation counter 1916 but also the CZ end determination counter 1920 is initialized, and the advantageous section ends and the normal section is shifted to. The value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0).

  Further, in this aspect, as shown in FIG. 23, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a threshold value “1500 when the privilege granting means 175 is staying in the AT preparation state, AT state, or AT end standby state. ”(When the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches“ 1501 ”), as in the case of the above-described embodiment, the non-AT state is restored by the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section, and the CZ state Even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value “1500” in the situation where the user stays in the state, the system is shifted to the non-AT state by the initialization process associated with the end of the advantageous section.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 23, in this mode, the CZ state is always passed from the non-AT state to the AT state, and the privilege granting means 175 stays in the normal section as shown in FIG. When the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, an advantageous section is generated. If the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold even if the CZ state ends, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 Until the initial value is reached, there is a case where the production state stays in the non-AT state while maintaining the advantageous section even if the CZ state ends by maintaining the advantageous section. In the non-AT state in the normal section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is fixed to the low probability state, whereas in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is in a low probability state and a high probability state according to the RT state. Thus, it is possible to provide a section in which the winning probability of the CZ lottery is fixed and a section in which the winning probability of the CZ lottery is changed while suppressing the shooting property. In order to shift to the AT state, it is not always necessary to go through the CZ state, but a case in which the AT lottery is performed even in the non-AT state to shift to the AT state without passing through the CZ state may be provided.

  Also, in this aspect, when a batting order bell is won in the CZ state, game information (identification symbol) corresponding to the type of batting order bell is displayed on the game information display section DS, and the game information indicated (or suggested) is pressed. The effect control means 180 may notify the order (correct answer order) by a winning assist effect.

  Further, for example, when performing AT lottery even in the non-AT state, the low-probability state, the high-probability state, and the ultra-high-probability state when the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value and shifts to the non-AT state. The lottery state of AT lottery may be set by lottery or the like, and the fact that the lottery state of AT lottery stays in the low probability state in the non-AT state after the end of the CZ state may be set as the end condition of the advantageous section. In this case, when the CZ state end condition based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is satisfied and the state shifts to the non-AT state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the high probability state or the very high probability state. In such a case, when the advantageous section is continued and the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the low probability state in the non-AT state, the advantageous section is terminated, and when the non-AT state is entered, the lottery of the AT lottery is performed. When the state is set to the low probability state, the advantageous section may be terminated together with the transition to the non-AT state.

  Also, in this aspect, in the CZ state, a continuous lottery that determines whether or not to continue the CZ state is performed, and if the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, and if the result of the continuous lottery is lost The CZ state may be terminated and the effect state may be returned to the non-AT state. For example, a continuous lottery is performed based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaching a threshold value, and when the continuous lottery is won, a predetermined value (for example, 8) is reset in the CZ end determination counter 1920. The CZ state may be continued, or in each game after the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value, the continuous lottery is performed until the winning of the AT lottery or the result of the continuous lottery is lost. A game may be performed, or a continuous lottery may be performed every game in the CZ state.

  Also, for example, based on the fact that the CZ lottery is won, a winning assisting effect is performed so as to guide the RT state to the RT2 state, and the effect state is shifted to the CZ state based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state. In the RT state, a game is played in the CZ state. In the CZ state, until the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value, a winning assist effect is performed at the time of winning the batting order bell, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is After reaching the threshold, the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state so that no winning assistance effect is performed when the batting order bell is won (a specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line) The CZ state may be terminated based on the CZ state, or even if the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 has not reached the threshold value, the RT state is changed to the non-RT state. It may be ended the CZ state even when slipped to RT1 state. In this example, an RT state for the CZ state may be prepared separately, and a game in the CZ state may be performed in the RT state.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the CZ lottery states are two types of low probability state and high probability state, but the CZ lottery lottery states are three or more types, and the advantageous zone is not selected in the normal zone. It may be variable between a plurality of types of lottery states. For example, in addition to the high probability state, it is possible to provide an extremely high probability state (for example, the winning probability is about 1/2) that is easier to win the CZ lottery than the high probability state. And a very high probability state may be switched.

  In the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery may not be set according to the RT state, but the lottery state may be changed to change the lottery state. For example, when a cherry, watermelon A, or common bell is won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select a low probability state or a high probability state. Further, the lottery state may be shifted according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, a high probability state may be set when a cherry, watermelon A, or common bell is won, and a low probability state may be set when lost. Further, when a stop operation is performed in the correct answer order when the hitting order bell is won, the high probability state may be set, and when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order, the low probability state may be set. In addition, the first high probability state that is easy to win when winning a cherry as the high probability state, the second high probability state that is easy to win when winning the watermelon A, the third high probability state that is easy to win when winning the common bell, etc. Sometimes it shifts to the first high probability state, transitions to the second high probability state when winning the watermelon A, shifts to the third high probability state when winning the common bell, and if the same lottery opportunity continues, it is easy to win the CZ lottery It is good also as such a structure.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the advantageous interval is terminated when the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, and the initialization process is executed when the advantageous interval ends. 1916 may not be provided, and after the end of the CZ state, the advantageous section may be terminated on the condition that the RT state has changed without winning the CZ lottery, and the initialization process may be executed upon completion of the advantageous section. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section in the non-AT state even after the CZ state ends.

  For example, if the player stays in the non-RT state at the end of the CZ state, the RT state does not change even if one winning combination wins in the game after the end of the CZ state. If it does not exceed the advantageous section, the advantageous section continues, and when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line, the advantageous section ends when the transition to the RT1 state is performed, and the initialization process is executed.

  Also, for example, if the RT1 state is stayed at the end of the CZ state, the RT state does not change even if a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line in the game after the end of the CZ state. If the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous period continues and the RT2 state is displayed when the RT1 state is entered because the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line or when the replay 2 is won. When the process shifts to, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is executed.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is decremented by a certain value every time a game is played, and the number of games is counted. The number of times may be counted. For example, “3” is set as the possible number of transitions to the CZ state at the time of winning the CZ lottery in the normal section, and when the CZ state ends, this corresponds to a transition from the value of the probability variation counter 1916 to one CZ state. The constant value “1” is subtracted. In this way, when the value of the probability variation counter 1916 reaches the initial value “0” at the end of the third CZ state and the advantageous section ends, the initialization process is executed, and the non-AT until the transition to the CZ state is performed three times. Even in the state, it is possible to generate a situation where the user stays in the advantageous section.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is reset to a predetermined value every time the CZ state ends. If the update is interrupted when the CZ lottery is won and the value is carried over and the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the update is resumed from the value at the time of interruption after the CZ state ends It may be.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, whether or not the CZ lottery is determined is determined by using a random value for internal lottery. However, when a predetermined lottery result is obtained in the internal lottery, the CZ lottery is dedicated to A random number value may be acquired, and whether or not to be determined may be determined with reference to a lottery table in which the acquired random number value is associated with either winning or losing.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the CZ end determination counter 1920 is decrementally updated in the CZ state. However, it may be incremented. For example, based on the fact that the CZ lottery is won, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is initialized to the initial value “0”. In the CZ state, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is set to the value every time one game is performed. Incremental update that adds a constant value “1” corresponding to one game, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to 32:32 games). The CZ state may be terminated based on the above.

  In the normal section, CZ lottery is not performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) in the advantageous section, while the CZ lottery is not performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB). When the CZ lottery is won, the AT lottery may be performed in the BB state. More specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the CZ lottery is not performed. Therefore, in the BB state where the big bonus (BB) is won, the player stays in the normal section. However, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the player stays in the advantageous section in the BB state which is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB), If the CZ lottery is won when the bonus (BB) is won, the AT lottery can be executed in the game in the BB state. In this case, in the internal lottery table referred to in the BB state, a winning mode such as cherry or watermelon A can be provided, and when these winning modes are obtained, an AT lottery can be performed. As for the regular bonus (RB), since the winning probability varies depending on the set value, even if the RB state stays in the advantageous section, the CZ lottery is not performed in the RB state. In this way, the AT lottery cannot be received in the BB state in the normal section, but the AT lottery can be received in the BB state in the advantageous section if the CZ lottery is won at the time of winning the big bonus (BB). Game specifications can be provided. If a big bonus (BB) is won while assist time games are being played in an advantageous section, an additional lottery is performed instead of an AT lottery in the BB state in which the big bonus (BB) is won. On the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the situation where the assist time game is performed in the advantageous section, it is added in the RB state where the regular bonus (RB) shifts in accordance with the winning of the regular bonus (RB). The lottery may not be performed. If the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the BB state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends and initialization processing is performed even if the BB state termination condition is not satisfied. In the BB state that won the CZ lottery at the time of winning the big bonus (BB), even if the AT lottery can be received by staying in the advantageous section before the initialization process, After the conversion process, since the AT lottery cannot be received in the BB state by staying in the normal section, it is possible to prevent the advantageous section from continuing for a long time. If the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, you may be able to receive the AT lottery in the BB state without performing the CZ lottery. Even in this case, the regular bonus (RB) will be won in the advantageous section. However, the CZ lottery may not be performed, and the AT lottery may not be performed even in the RB state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the regular section, when the winning combination of watermelon A, cherry, common bell, which is the winning aspect of the small role, or the big bonus (BB), which is the winning aspect of the bonus, is shifted to the advantageous section. When a lottery related to replay is selected and a winning mode for replay in which the winning probability in the internal lottery does not vary depending on the fluctuation of the RT state or the variation of the set value is obtained, You may make it perform the lottery (addition lottery) for increasing the number of times of execution of the assist time game in an advantageous zone, or the lottery (AT lottery, CZ lottery) regarding the shift of an advantageous zone.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25, when the gaming state is the normal state, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4 referred to according to the RT state, the normal replay 1 has the same probability in any RT state. The winning probability of the normal replay 1 is not changed depending on the set value while winning, and when the normal replay 1 is won when the gaming state is the normal state in the normal section, a lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section is performed. Can be. In other words, if the winning mode that triggers the lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section is such that the winning probability does not change depending on the change of the RT state, not only the winning mode of the small role and the winning mode of the bonus, but also the replay On the other hand, when the winning mode of replay (for example, normal replay 2 etc.) in which the winning probability varies according to the change of the RT state is obtained in the normal section, the lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section What is necessary is just to prevent such as.
