  In addition, in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, a winning area “RBB1” that is a winning area that is redundantly won for the RBB and the cherry role that is a small role in the present embodiment, and RBB and A winning area “RBB2”, which is a winning area that wins overlapping with a watermelon role, which is a small role, and a winning area “CBB”, which is a winning area for winning the CBB independently, are set as the lottery targets. In the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, the winning probabilities of the winning area “RBB1”, the winning area “RBB2”, and the winning area “CBB” are also set to be the same.

  In the internal lottery table E selected in the bonus establishment state that is a gaming state to be shifted when winning the RBB or CBB, the winning probability of the winning area including the small role is set to be the same as the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D In the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3”, the winning area “common bell”, and the winning area “watermelon” were associated. A random number is associated with the same winning area, a random number associated with the winning area “RBB1” is associated with the winning area “Cherry”, and a random number associated with the winning area “RBB2” is the winning area “ A random number associated with “watermelon” and associated with the winning area “CBB” is associated with a loss (unauthorized).

  Further, in the internal lottery table F selected when the gaming state is the first bonus state, a random number is associated with the winning area “JAC” as a winning area including a small role. In the internal lottery table G that is selected when the gaming state is the second bonus state, all random numbers are associated with losing (unauthorized).

  FIG. 7A is a diagram showing a winning area including a small part and a bonus among winning areas that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT3 state. As shown in FIG. 7A, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as a small combination that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT3 state (hereinafter referred to as “winning combination”), a bell combination, special small combination 1 -Special small role 3, watermelon role and cherry role are prepared, and as the winning area (winning mode) of the small role where multiple types of winning roles are won in duplicate, the winning area "batting order bell 1"-the winning area " The batting order bell 3 ”is set.

  Here, the “batting order” means the order in which the pressing operation is performed on the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, and includes six hitting orders of the hitting order 1 to the hitting order 6. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  The batting order 1 is a batting order referred to as a so-called forward push in which a stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B2, and the stop button B3. The batting order 2 is a batting order called so-called scissors, in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B3, and the stop button B2. The batting order 3 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B1, and the stop button B3. The batting order 4 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B3, and the stop button B1. The batting order 5 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B1 → stop button B2. The hitting order 6 is a hitting order called so-called reverse pressing in which stop operations are executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B2 → stop button B1.

  In the following description, the reel control means 130 starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and the player first presses one of the effective stop buttons B1 to B3. Also described as the first stop operation, the player can effectively stop the rotation of one reel corresponding to the stop button pressed by the first stop operation among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Depressing one of the buttons B1 to B3 is also referred to as a second stop operation, and among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a reel corresponding to the stop button pressed by the first stop operation; Stop button B that is effective for the player in a state in which the rotation of the two reels with the reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed in the second stop operation has stopped. Also described as the third stop operation that depresses either the ~ stop button B3.

  The winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3” is a winning area where a bell role and any one of special small roles 1 to 3 are selected in an overlapping manner. Here, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning from the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3”, the bell role is a pressing timing of each stop button. Regardless of the winning combination, for example, when the winning area “batting order bell 1” is won, winning is performed when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 or batting order 2. In addition, special small role 1 to special small role 3 have stop button B1 to stop button B3 in a batting order other than the batting order that can win the bell role when winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 3”. It is a winning combination that can be won when the pressing operation is performed and each stop button is pressed appropriately. For example, when the winning area “batting order bell 1” is won, any of batting order 3 to 6 When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the order of hitting and the pressing timing of each stop button is appropriate, a prize is awarded.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the batting order in which the bell role cannot be won when winning the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3”. In addition, when each stop button is pressed down at a pressing timing at which the special small combination 1 to special special combination 3 cannot be won, a missing (non-winning) that does not win any combination occurs. Further, in the following description, the batting order in which the bell role can be won when winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3” is also referred to as correct batting order. In addition, a batting order in which a bell role cannot be won in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to a winning area “batting order bell 3” is also referred to as an incorrect answer batting order.

  The winning area “common bell” is configured such that a bell role can be won and the bell role can be won regardless of the hitting order and the pressing timing. In addition, the winning area “watermelon” is configured so that a watermelon role can be won when the watermelon role is won and the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 is appropriate. The winning area “watermelon” is configured as a winning area provided in each of the internal lottery tables A to E. In addition, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D are configured such that the winning area “watermelon” among the winning areas including only the small role is the lowest.

  The winning area “RBB1” is a winning area that wins overlapping with the RBB and the cherry winning combination, and is configured to be able to win the cherry winning combination when the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is appropriate. In addition, the winning area “RBB1” is a pressing timing at which the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stopping button B3 cannot win the cherry role, and the pressing timing of the stopping button B1 to the stopping button B3 is to win the RBB. If it is configured to be able to win an RBB when it is a timing that can be played, and the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is a pressing timing at which neither the cherry role nor the RBB can be won, The role of will be missed (no prize).

  The winning area “RBB2” is a winning area that wins overlapping with the RBB and the watermelon combination, and is configured to be able to win the watermelon combination when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate. In addition, the winning area “RBB2” can receive the RBB when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 cannot make a watermelon role, just like the winning area “RBB1”, and the stop button B1. If the stop timing of the stop button B3 is a pressing timing at which the watermelon role and the RBB cannot be won, it is a missed (non-winning) in which neither of the roles is won.

  The winning area “CBB” is a winning area for winning the CBB independently, and is configured such that the CBB can be won when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3. If the pressing timing is a pressing timing at which CBB cannot be won, no winning combination is made (no winning).

  The payout for the bell combination is set to a number of payouts (for example, 8) that is larger than the specified number of inputs. The dividends for the watermelon role and the cherry role are set to a number of payouts (for example, 2) which is smaller than the specified number of inputs. The special small combination 1 to special small combination 3 payout is set to a smaller number of payouts (for example, one) than the watermelon and cherry payouts.

  FIG. 7B is a diagram showing a winning area of a small combination that can be won in the bonus establishment state. As shown in FIG. 7B, the winning area “cherry” is configured to be able to win the cherry role when winning the cherry role and the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 is appropriate. In the internal lottery table E, as described above, the random numbers associated with the winning area “RBB1” in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D are associated with the winning area “Cherry”. Even when compared with the internal lottery table D, the winning probability of the winning area including the small part is not changed.

  FIG. 7C is a diagram showing a winning area of small roles that can be won in the first bonus state. As shown in FIG. 7C, the winning area “JAC” includes all the small roles that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT3 state and the bonus establishment state, the special small role 1 to the special small role 3, This is a winning area that overlaps with a watermelon role and a cherry role and a special bell role that can be won only in the first bonus state.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the special bell combination is a small combination in which the payout is set to a larger number of payouts (for example, 12) than the bell combination. It is configured to be able to win a prize. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area “JAC” is won, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the special bell role with the largest payout amount at the time of winning wins with priority over other roles. Thus, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. As a result, when the winning area “JAC” is won, the special bell combination is won regardless of the order of hitting the stop buttons B1 to B3 and the pressing timing.

  Next, the winning area including replay will be described. FIG. 8A shows a winning area including a replay that can be won in the non-RT state, the RT2 state, the RT3 state, and the bonus establishment state, and FIG. 8B shows a winning area that includes a replay that can be won in the RT1 state. FIG. 8C shows a winning area including a replay that can be won in the first bonus state. As shown in FIG. 8 (A) to FIG. 8 (C), in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the winning area including the replay, the winning area “normal replay 1”, the winning area “normal replay 2”, The winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” and the winning area “batting order replay” are set.

  The winning area “normal replay 1” is a winning area set in each of the non-RT state to the RT3 state and the bonus establishment state, that is, each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E, and won the normal replay role. The normal replay combination can be won regardless of the hitting order and the pressing timing. In addition, the winning area “normal replay 2” is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E. The normal replay role and the special replay role having different winning symbol combinations from other replays. It is configured to be able to win a normal replay combination regardless of the hit order and the pressing timing.

  The winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is a winning area set in the internal lottery table B selected when the gaming state is the RT1 state. In the case where the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the batting order set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”. The RT3 transition replay combination wins when the RT2 transition replay combination wins and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any other order.

  In addition, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” are configured such that the winning modes for winning a duplicate are different. Specifically, in the winning area “batting order replay 1”, the RT2 transition replay role and the RT3 transition replay role overlap, and the winning area “batting order replay 2” is the RT2 transition replay role and RT3 transition replay role. And the special replay role 1 are duplicated, and the winning area “batting order replay 3” is an RT2 transition replay role, an RT3 transition replay role, and a special replay role 2 having a different winning symbol combination from other replays, The winning area “batting order replay 4” is the RT2 transition replay role, the RT3 transition replay role, and the special replay role 3 that has a different winning symbol combination than other replays, and the winning area “ “Batting order replay 5” is a combination of the RT2 transition replay role, the RT3 transition replay role, and the special replay role 4 that has a different winning symbol combination than other replays. The winning area “batting order replay 6” is configured such that the RT2 transition replay role, the RT3 transition replay role, and the special replay role 5 having different winning symbol combinations from other replays are overlapped. .

  It should be noted that the reel control means 130, which will be described later, determines whether or not the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any order when the winning area including the special replay role 1 to the special replay role 5 is won by the internal lottery means 120. Even when the pressing operation is performed at the timing, the reel stop control is executed so that the winning symbol combination of the special replay combination 1 to the special replay combination 5 is not displayed.

  The winning area “batting order rare replay” is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E and the internal lottery table F selected when the gaming state is the first bonus state, The normal replay role and the rare replay role 1 to the rare replay role 3 are won and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in a preset batting order, and the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed. If appropriate, win one of rare replay combination 1 to rare replay combination 3. The winning area “batting order rare replay” indicates that the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in a different batting order from the preset batting order or the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is a rare replay role. If it is a pressing timing at which none of the 1 to rare replay roles 3 can be won, the normal replay role is won. In the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F, the winning area “batting order rare replay” is set such that the winning probability is lower than other winning areas including replays that can be won.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, in the winning probabilities of the winning area “RBB2”, the winning area “CBB”, and the winning area “normal replay 2”, setting 1 and setting 6 The winning area “RBB2”, the winning area “CBB”, and the winning area “normal replay 2” are configured in accordance with the setting values stored in the setting value storage unit 191. The winning probability is changed, and the winning area “RBB1”, the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3”, the winning area “common bell”, and the winning area “watermelon” The winning area “Cherry”, the winning area “JAC”, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”, the winning area “normal replay 1”, and the winning area The batting order rare replay ", is configured to set values stored in the setting value storing unit 191 does not change is caused even winning probability be any value.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning value of the winning area “RBB2”, the winning area “CBB”, and the winning area “normal replay 2” is changed by changing the setting value from setting 1 → setting 2... Setting 6 The probability is changed in stages, and the ease of acquiring medals is changed in stages. The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that when the setting value is setting 1, the medal is most difficult to acquire, and when the setting value is setting 6, the medal is most easily acquired.

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

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-established state (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to the established state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next game until winning, and carry over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to a non-established state is prepared. The roles associated with the former carry-over possible flag include RBB and CBB, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the RBB is won by the internal lottery, the establishment state of the RBB lottery flag is carried over until the RBB wins. When the CBB is won by the internal lottery, the establishment state of the CBB lottery flag is established. Is carried over until CBB wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not a small role and replay are true even in a game in which the RBB or CBB lottery flag is established. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when a small role or replay is won in a game in which the RBB or CBB lottery flag is established, the lottery flag of the already won RBB or CBB and the internal lottery The lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of combinations including the small combination won and the replay lottery flag are set to the established state.

  Note that the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets all the small lottery flags in the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery when the CBB is activated. That is, in the slot machine 1, in the game in which the CBB is operating, the lottery flags for all the small roles of special bell role, bell role, special small role 1 to special small role 3, watermelon role, and cherry role are in the established state. Set.

  The reel control means 130 is driven by the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that operates when the player performs a start operation on the start lever SL. The rotation drive of is started. In addition, the reel control means 130, when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is a rotation state in which the rotation is a steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm), the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel. Control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the stop button B3 is pressed is executed. The reel control means 130 stops supplying the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Then, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control means 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a stop mode according to the lottery flag setting state, that is, the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed. Thus, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. The reel is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed based on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. Up to 4 frames can be rotated up to this point. The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to valid is valid when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line L1 when the pressing operation is performed on Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

  For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning symbol combinations of the winning combinations that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 such as the above-mentioned bell role, special bell role, and each replay are configured. In each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the symbols to be displayed are arranged within a displayable range from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CBB wins and the gaming state is the second bonus state, the reel control means 130 determines the second reel R2 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The reel stop control is executed so that the rotating second reel R2 is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B2 is pressed. When stopping a rotating reel within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel depends on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel until the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It can be rotated up to one frame.

  In the reel stop control in the second bonus state, the reel control means 130 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed for at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. In this embodiment, the reel stop control is executed so that the reel stop signal is stopped. The reel stop control is executed to stop the reel R2, but the stop switch 240 detects that a stop button corresponding to another reel such as the first reel R1 or the third reel R3 has been pressed, and the reel stops. Stop the reel within 75 ms from when the signal is output from the stop switch 240 The reel stop control may be executed so that the number of reels set to stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 is 1 There may be multiple books instead of books.

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

  The reel control unit 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation, and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 194 of the storage unit 190. Table reference processing for determining the stop position is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is actuated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output once has been rotated when the photo sensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reel reference position at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor). To get. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set in the established state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having the highest priority according to the priority ranking associated with each winning combination. The priorities of the candidates are determined so that the priorities of the candidates are higher than the candidates of the stop positions including the symbols constituting the winning form of the role having a low priority.

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

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining reel stop position candidates. Here, the pull-in process is a process for obtaining a reel stop position candidate so that the winning combination with the lottery flag set to the established state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination for which the lottery flag is not established cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the established state in a winning form, while the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the unachieved state Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so that it does not stop.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning symbol combinations of the roles associated with the winning area “batting order rare replay” will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing symbols arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing winning symbol combinations of a normal replay role and a rare replay role 1 to a rare replay role 3 which are winning when a winning area “batting order rare replay” is won.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the bell symbol “BL”, the replay symbol “RP”, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, and the white 7 symbol “ White 7 ", Blue 7 design" Blue 7 ", Watermelon A design" WMA ", Watermelon B design" WMB ", BAR design" BAR ", Cherry design" CH "and Blank design" BLK "are arranged. Further, 20 frames of symbols are arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and any one of stop numbers 0 to 19 is assigned.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the winning symbol combination for the normal replay role is “RP-RP-RP”. As shown in FIG. 9, the replay symbols “RP” are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 at intervals of 4 frames or less. That is, the reel control means 130, in a state where the lottery flag for the normal replay combination is in the established state, places the winning symbol combination for the normal replay combination on the effective line L1 regardless of the order of hitting and pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. Can be stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the winning symbol combination of the Real Play combination 1 is “BAR (BL, RP) −BL (CH) −CH”. As shown in FIG. 9, bell symbols “BL” are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2 at intervals of 4 frames or less. Also, on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel, cherry symbols “CH” are arranged on the frames of stop number 2 and stop number 7.

That is, the operation mode in the present embodiment is configured to include at least the order of pressing operations by the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  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 stopped by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Specifically, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 195 of the storage unit 190, the display is made on the active line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination that has been set is a predetermined winning combination. The winning determination table is configured so that the presence / absence of a bonus, replay, or small role can be determined (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”) based on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

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

  The payout control means 150 performs payout processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and a medal corresponding to the determined number of payouts is used as a payout device. Control to cause the hopper unit 320 to pay out is performed. In the present embodiment, as described above, the bell combination payout set to a larger number of payouts than the specified input number is set to eight, and the special bell set to a higher payout number than the bell combination payout is set. The payout of the winning combination is set to 12 sheets. Further, the dividends for the watermelon role and the cherry role, which are set to be less than the specified number of inputs, are set to two. Further, the payouts of the special small combination 1 to the special small combination 3 set to be smaller than the payout of the watermelon combination and the cherry combination are all set to one.

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

  The replay processing unit 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating the replay winning is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the winning determining unit 140, and when the replay is won, the replay processing unit 160 does not need to insert a medal for the next game. A replay process (regame process) is set to a ready state in which a game can be executed. That is, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion process is performed in which medals for a predetermined number of insertions are automatically inserted without using a player's own medals (including credit medals). In the state where the same effective line L1 as the previous game is set, the next start operation for the start lever SL is waited.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 includes an RT state transition control process for transitioning between the non-RT state and the RT3 state, and a bonus establishment state transition control process for transitioning from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when a bonus is won. In addition, when the bonus is won, the game state transition control including the bonus state transition control process for shifting from the current gaming state to the bonus state is performed. Here, one condition may be defined as the transition condition for each gaming state, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are set, the game is executed based on the fact that any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. The state can be shifted to another gaming state.

  FIG. 11 is a state transition diagram showing gaming states that can be shifted from each gaming state in the RT state transition control processing executed by the gaming state transition control means 170.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3” is won, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed, and the reel controller 130 performs the reel operation. When the symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small combination, replay, and bonus is displayed on the active line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3 among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G, for example.

  The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be shifted from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and the transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are arranged in a batting order in which the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won and the RT2 transition replay role can be won. When the pressed operation is performed and the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay combination is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the RT2 state is entered. Further, the game state transition control means 170 wins any one of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”, and the stop button B1 to stop in the batting order in which the RT2 transition replay role cannot be won. When the button B3 is pressed and the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay combination is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the gaming state is shifted to the RT3 state. In the RT1 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state that transitions when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay combination is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. A transition from the RT2 state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, any one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 3” is won, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed, and the reel controller 130 performs the reel operation. When the symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small combination, replay, and bonus is displayed on the active line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G, when the winning probability of replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.5, the probability of winning either a small role, replay or bonus is extremely high. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C set high is performed.

  The RT3 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be shifted from the RT1 state, and the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay role is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. It is a gaming state that transitions with the opportunity. When transitioning to the RT3 state, the game state transition control means 170 inputs a value (for example, 255 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games to an RT3 state end determination counter (not shown) that is a counter of the storage means 190. Each time one game is executed, a value “1” corresponding to one game is stored in the RT3 state end determination counter (hereinafter, the value stored in each counter is also referred to as “stored value”) ) Is started to be subtracted (updated). The transition from the RT3 state to the non-RT state is possible. The gaming state transition control means 170 transitions to the non-RT state when a game of 255 games is executed and the stored value of the RT3 state end determination counter reaches the value “0”. In the RT3 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming state is changed between the non-RT state and the RT3 state, thereby realizing different gaming properties in each gaming state. Specifically, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment wins or plays any of the small role, replay, and bonus in the non-RT state, the RT1 state, and the RT3 state where a normal game is executed. However, it has become a configuration that will not be won.

  Also, in the RT2 state in which the probability of winning a replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, the probability of winning the winning area “normal replay 1” or the winning area “normal replay 2” is also increased. A game in the AT state is started by starting an assist time state (hereinafter, the assist time is also referred to as “AT”) in which a winning assist control for assisting the winning of a specific role is executed by the AT state control means 200B described later. Is configured to be able to execute a so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter referred to as “ART replay time”) that is executed in the RT2 state in which replay is won with higher probability than other game states. .

  Next, the bonus establishment state transition control process among the game state transition control processes executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 executes a bonus establishment state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when a winning area including a bonus is won by internal lottery. Specifically, when the game state transition control means 170 wins the winning area “RBB1”, the winning area “RBB2” or the winning area “CBB” which is a winning area including a bonus in the internal lottery in the non-RT state, for example. Next, the gaming state is shifted from the non-RT state to the bonus establishment state. Further, in the slot machine 1, when a winning area including a bonus is won and the bonus is not won, a game in the bonus establishment state is executed in the subsequent games until the bonus is won. In the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery referring to the internal lottery table E in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3 among the internal lottery tables A to G shown in FIGS. Is done.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table has a lower replay winning probability than the RT2 state in which the probability of winning either a small role, replay, or bonus in the internal lottery is set to be extremely high. The internal lottery is executed using the. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a winning area including a bonus is won by internal lottery, the lottery flag is carried over in the established state until the winning bonus is won. For this reason, in the slot machine 1, when winning a small combination or replay in the internal lottery in a bonus establishment state, the small combination and bonus or replay and bonus are overlapped. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”.

  For this reason, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the winning probability of replay in the bonus establishment state is set to be lower than the winning probability of replay in the RT2 state, so that the internal lottery can be lost (unfair). By doing so, it is configured so that a state where a bonus is won independently can occur. As a result, in the slot machine 1, when the internal lottery is lost in the bonus establishment state, it is possible to win a bonus in which the lottery flag continues to be established. In the slot machine 1, any one of the special small role 1 to the special small role 3, the watermelon role, and the cherry role to be won when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. Stop button B1 at the press timing that can not win special small role 1 to special small role 3, watermelon role, cherry role won in the internal lottery in the state where crab winning and the bonus lottery flag is set to the established state Even when the stop button B3 is pressed, a bonus in which the lottery flag is continuously set to the established state can be won.

  Next, the bonus state transition control process among the game state transition control processes executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 is a bonus state for shifting the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the first bonus state when the winning symbol combination of RBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control unit 130. Execute migration control processing. When the game state transitions to the first bonus state, the game state transition control unit 170 starts a process of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) that is a counter included in the storage unit 190. The transition from the first bonus state to the non-RT state is possible. Specifically, in the first bonus state, more than 324 medals are paid out, and the stored value of the bonus end determination counter is a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (in this embodiment, the value “325”). )) To reach the non-RT state. In the first bonus state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the winning area “JAC” is set as the winning area for the small role, and the winning area “JAC” is set with a very high probability. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table F set to win is performed.

  Further, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the second bonus state when the CBB winning symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. The bonus state transition control process is executed. The gaming state transition control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to the bonus end determination counter when transitioning to the second bonus state. In the second bonus state, the stored value of the bonus end determination counter is predetermined. When the value corresponding to the number of payouts (value “229” in the present embodiment) is reached, the state shifts to the non-RT state. In the second bonus state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table G in which all random numbers are associated with the losing (unauthorized) among the internal lottery tables A to G shown in FIGS. Done.

  In the second bonus state, random number extraction with reference to the internal lottery table G is performed in the internal lottery, resulting in a loss (unauthorized). However, as described above, the winning flags for all small roles are set to the established state. In this state, reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is performed.

  The effect control means 180 is based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 196 and relates to effects related to the game, such as display effects performed using the display device 330 and sound effects performed using the audio device 340, for example. Take control. Specifically, when the player operates the respective components of the slot machine 1 for the operation of the medal insertion, the single bet button BT, the maximum bet button MB, the start lever SL, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, or the like When a game event such as a state change occurs, the first reel is turned on or blinking, the display content of the display device 330 is changed, the sound is output from the speaker, and the start signal is output from the start switch 230. By performing an effect using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that delays the start of rotation of the R1 to the third reel R3, an effect for exciting the game or an execution control for assisting the game is performed. .

  Further, the effect control means 180 causes each component constituting the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the production control unit 180 acquires a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation unit 110 for each lottery process using a random number, and a plurality of production lotteries stored in the production lottery table storage unit 197. Each lottery process is executed using an effect lottery table necessary for each lottery process.

  The advantageous period control means 200A is an advantageous period (advantageous period) in which a winning assist control that assists the winning of a specific role by the AT state control means 200B, which will be described later, can be executed, and a non-winning auxiliary control period. A period transition process, which is a control process related to transition between the advantageous period (non-advantageous section), is executed. Advantageous period control means 200A, as a period transition process, in a game within a non-advantageous period, regardless of the set value stored in the set value storage means 191, the winning probability by the internal lottery does not fluctuate, Also, in any gaming state from the non-RT state to the RT3 state, when the winning probability by the internal lottery does not fluctuate, it is a lottery transition that is a lottery for determining whether to end the non-advantage period and start the advantageous period Run a lottery.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area “RBB1” is set as the winning area where the advantageous period shift lottery is executed. In the advantageous period control lottery, the advantageous period control means 200A first selects an advantageous period transition lottery table (not acceptable) in which “start of advantageous period” or “losing (unfair)” is associated with each of a plurality of random numbers. Is obtained from the advantageous period control data storage unit 198 of the storage unit 190. Then, the advantageous period control unit 200A acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous period shift lottery table, and determines whether to start the advantageous period based on the comparison result. .

  As described above, the advantageous period control means 200A of the present embodiment can shift to the advantageous period when winning area “RBB1” is won in the non-advantage period, but even if winning area “RBB2” is won. , Do not transition to a favorable period. Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area “RBB1” is configured such that the winning probability by the internal lottery is not changed regardless of the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 191. ing. On the other hand, the winning area “RBB2” is configured such that the winning probability by the internal lottery is changed when the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 191 is changed. The winning area “RBB1” constitutes the first winning aspect in the present embodiment, and the winning area “RBB2” constitutes the second winning aspect in the present embodiment.

  When the condition for ending the advantageous period is satisfied, the advantageous period control means 200A executes an end process that is a process of ending the advantageous period and starting the non-advantage period from the next game. Further, the advantageous period control unit 200A turns on the advantageous period notification unit 500A when it is determined to start the advantageous period from the next game, and turns off the advantageous period notification unit 500A when the non-advantage period is started.

  FIG. 12 is a transition diagram showing a period transition related to the advantageous period controlled by the advantageous period control means 200A of the present embodiment and a state transition related to the AT state controlled by the AT state control means 200B described later. As shown in FIG. 12, the advantageous period control means 200A has a normal period (normal period) and a standby period (standby period) that can be shifted from the normal period as non-advantage periods. In the normal period, the advantageous period control means 200A determines “start of advantageous period” by the advantageous period transition lottery, and when the gaming state in the next game is a gaming state excluding the bonus establishment state, Decide to start the advantageous period. That is, the advantageous period control means 200A determines “start of advantageous period” by the advantageous period transition lottery executed based on the winning of the winning area “RBB1” in the game in which the normal period is executed, and wins the RBB In such a case, the advantageous period notification unit 500A is turned on, the normal period ends in the current game, and the advantageous period starts from the next game.

  In addition, during the normal period, “start of advantageous period” is determined at the time of winning the winning area “RBB1,” but when the next game state is a bonus establishment state, the advantageous period control means 200A In the game, it is decided to end the normal period and start the standby period from the next game. That is, the advantageous period control means 200A determines “start of advantageous period” by the advantageous period transition lottery executed based on the winning of the winning area “RBB1” in the game in which the normal period is executed, but won the RBB. If not, the non-advantage period is continued in the next game by starting the standby period without starting the advantageous period from the next game. Then, the advantageous period control means 200A decides to start the advantageous period from the next game when the RBB is won in the game in the standby period, turns on the advantageous period notification unit 500A, and sets the standby period in the current game. End and start the advantageous period from the next game.

  The advantageous period control means 200A is a counter that is stored in the counter storage means 199 of the storage means 190 from the game that has started the advantageous period, and is an advantageous period numerical value that is a counter that stores the number of games executed continuously in the advantageous period. A value “0”, which is an initial value, is input to the storage unit 199A. During the stay of the advantageous period, the advantageous period control means 200A cumulatively adds the value “1” corresponding to one game to the stored value of the advantageous period numerical value storage means 199A every time a game is executed. When an addition process (update process) to be added (updated) is executed and a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games) are executed, that is, the stored value of the advantageous period numerical value storage means 199A becomes the value “1500” In this case, it is determined that the specific end condition is satisfied as a condition for ending the advantageous period, the advantageous period notification unit 500A is turned off in the game in which the specific end condition is satisfied, the advantageous period is ended, and the non-advantageous period is started from the next game. The end process for starting the normal period is executed.

  Further, the advantageous period control means 200A initializes all the information used in the various control processes in the advantageous period, such as each flag set in the advantageous period and a value set in the advantageous period, in the end process. Note that the advantageous period control means 200A adds the value “1” to the stored value of the advantageous period numerical value storage means 199A every time a game is executed even when a bonus is won during the advantageous period.

  When the advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control means 200A, the AT state control means 200B includes a plurality of instruction function states as states related to the instruction function including the AT state in which the winning assist control can be executed.

Normal replay inductive effect informing that the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the order in which the replay role can be won, specifically, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the order 1 Normal replay induction effect control is executed to cause the effect device 300 to execute. It should be noted that the effect control means 180 executes the normal replay guidance effect control in substantially the same manner even when the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won by internal lottery in the instruction function enabled state.

  If the stop button of the first stop operation is the stop button B1 at the time of winning the winning area “batting order rare replay”, the reel control means 130, as shown in FIG. In the reel R3, since the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination for the normal replay role are preferentially stopped and displayed on the effective line L1, the winning symbol combination for the normal replay role is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. In addition, even if the winning control “180 batting order rare replay” is won in the ending state, the outgoing control means 180 does not execute the extra lottery and the extra special state shift lottery, so that the display device 330 does not execute the effect related to the extra process. The display device 330 is caused to continuously execute the effect executed in the ending state.

3. Summary of the present embodiment As described above, the effect control means 180 of the present embodiment is specialized in the special AT state, the specialization state, or the AT state control means 200B, which can execute the lottery with the AT state control means 200B. In the normal AT state in which the state transition lottery can be executed, that is, in the state in which the control process related to the addition process can be executed, when the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won, the rare replay role 1 to the rare replay role 3 are awarded. The rare replay guidance effect control for guiding the player is executed. In addition, the effect control means 180 does not execute the control process related to the addition process in the instruction function available state or the ending state, which is the instruction function state in which the AT state control means 200B does not execute the extra lottery and the extra special state transition lottery. In the state, when the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won, the normal replay guidance effect control for guiding the winning of the normal replay role is executed.

  As a result, when the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won in the internal lottery in the instruction function enabled state or in the ending state, the effect control means 180 performs AT at the time of winning in the normal AT state, the added special state, or the special AT state. In the normal AT state, the specialization state or the special AT state, by guiding the winning of the normal replay role instead of the rare replay role 1 to the rare replay role 3 in which the control process related to the addition process is executed by the state control means 200B. If there is, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to discriminate from the winning role that the control process related to the extra process has been executed, reducing the player's feeling of loss and reducing the player's interest in the game. Can be prevented.

  The effect control means 180 is in a state where the rare replay role 1 to the rare replay role 3 that have won a prize when the extra lottery is executed in the normal AT state, the specialization state or the special AT state are in the instruction function enabled state or the ending state. Since winning can be prevented, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying that the control process related to the addition process can be executed in the instruction function enabled state or the ending state.

  In addition, since the effect control unit 180 does not execute rare replay induction effect control in the instruction function enabled state or the ending state, the control process related to the addition process can be executed in the instruction function enabled state or the ending state by the effect by the effect device 300. It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying that it is. Further, the effect control means 180 can prevent the player from misidentifying that the control process related to the addition process can be executed in the ending state, so that the effect executed in the ending state is being executed. Further, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from decreasing with respect to the effect related to the ending state by executing the effect related to the execution of the control process related to the addition process.

  Further, the effect control means 180 executes rare replay guidance effect control in the normal AT state, the specialization state or the special AT state, but even if the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won in the non-advantage period, By not executing the real play induction effect control, it is difficult to win the rare replay role 1 to the rare replay role 3 in the non-advantage period for the normal AT state, the added special state, or the special AT state, and the normal replay role In the normal AT state, the extra special state, or the special AT state, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to discriminate from the winning combination that the control process related to the extra process has been executed. It is possible to reduce the player's feeling of loss and prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating.

  The AT state control means 200B of the present embodiment is configured to execute the special AT state and the special ending state in the first bonus state. As a result, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won, but even if the extra lottery is not executed, the player can easily acquire medals in the first bonus state. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the player's feeling of loss and prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first bonus state is started but the special AT state is not started by changing the set value and changing the winning probability of the winning area “RBB2”. Thus, the probability that the special AT state is started when the first bonus state is started is relatively changed. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability that the special AT state is executed in the first bonus state can be changed by visually changing the player, so that the game progress can be widened. It is possible to improve the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the first bonus state that is executed based on the winning of the RBB after winning the winning area “RBB2” in the CZ state, the normal AT state, or the added special state, The first transition control interruption state in which the extra lottery is not executed is executed instead of the AT state. The effect control means 180 executes rare replay induction effect control in the special AT state, but does not execute rare replay induction effect control even if the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won in the first transition control interruption state. . Thereby, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the special AT state, it is difficult to win the rare replay role 1 to the rare replay role 3 in the first transition control interrupted state, and the normal replay role winning is induced. Therefore, in the special AT state, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to discriminate from the winning combination that the control process related to the extra process has been executed, and to reduce the player's feeling of loss. It is possible to prevent the interest in the game from falling.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the winning area “batting order rare replay” is won in the normal AT state, the added special state, or the special AT state, the player increases the degree of advantage for the player.
