Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, there has been known a gaming machine in which a high probability state in which points used for adding an AT game number counter are easily acquired is provided in a bonus (BB), and an AT game number counter is added as the number of acquired points increases. (See paragraph number “0194” in Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5744119

However, according to the prior art of Patent Document 1, after the bonus is over, the value for adding the AT game number counter is determined by lottery at the point at the end of the bonus, and the points at the end of the bonus are taken over and further points are obtained. There was a problem that could not be done.
Accordingly, each invention described in each claim has been made in view of the problems of the conventional techniques described above, and the object thereof is as follows.

  That is, the present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of shifting to a state advantageous to a player while switching a lottery for shifting to a state advantageous to the player while staying in a certain gaming state. is there.

Each invention described in each claim has been made to achieve the above-described object, and the features of each invention will be described below using the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings.
The gaming machine according to the present invention is capable of shifting from the first state, the second state that can be shifted from the first state, and the second state, and at least a third that is more advantageous to the player than the first state. A second state that can be started during the first state, the second state, and the third state and is more advantageous to the player than the first state; The state is a state that is easier to shift to the third state than the first state, and in the first state, the first lottery for shifting to the third state can be executed, and the second state Then, a second lottery for shifting to the third state can be executed, and in the third state, a third lottery for granting a privilege related to the third state can be executed. If the fourth state is started during one state, When the execution of the first lottery is continued and the fourth state is started during the second state, the execution of the second lottery during the execution is continued, and the second lottery is executed during the third state. When the fourth state is started, the execution of the third lottery that is being executed is continued, and when the state transitions from the first state to the second state while staying in the fourth state, When the second lottery of the second state that has been transitioned is executed and the second state is transitioned from the second state to the third state while staying in the fourth state, the transition of the third state to the third state The third lottery is executed.

Here, the “first state” is a state excluding the “second state” and the “third state”, and is a normal state that is normally performed (in the case of providing a permitted section and a non-permitted section, a permitted section normal state). Including, but not limited to.
The “second state” includes a state such as a chance zone state, but is not limited thereto.
The “third state” includes, but is not limited to, an assist time state and an assist replay time state.
The “fourth state” includes a gaming state such as a bonus, but is not limited thereto.
“First lottery” includes, but is not limited to, mode promotion lottery.
“Second lottery” includes, but is not limited to, point lottery.
The “third lottery” includes a damage lottery, but is not limited to this.
The “privilege regarding the third state” includes, but is not limited to, continuing the third state and adding the period of the third state.

“When the fourth state is started during the first state” means, for example, when the game of the fourth state is started from the game after the final game of the first state, and for example, the final game of the first state There is a case where the game in the fourth state is started from the next game through a specific game state (specifically, the fourth state internal state).
Similarly, “when the fourth state is started during the second state” means, for example, when the game in the fourth state is started from the game after the final game in the second state, for example, in the second state. There is a case where a game in the fourth state is started from a game after the last game through a specific game state (specifically, the fourth state internal state).
Similarly, “when the fourth state is started during the third state” means, for example, when the game in the fourth state is started from the game after the last game in the third state, for example, in the third state. There is a case where a game in the fourth state is started from a game after the last game through a specific game state (specifically, the fourth state internal state).

“If the fourth state is started during the first state, continue the execution of the first lottery being executed” means that the first lottery is, for example, a mode promotion lottery. If the fourth state is started during the state, the mode promotion lottery is performed in the fourth state if the mode immediately before the start of the fourth state has reached the second mode promoted from the first mode. Is executed, the mode is promoted based on the second mode as a result of promotion in the first state.
Similarly, “when the fourth state is started during the second state, the execution of the second lottery being executed is continued” means that the second lottery is a point lottery, for example. When the fourth state is started during the second state, if the point immediately before the start of the fourth state is added from the first point and reaches the second point, the fourth state In the point lottery, the points are added on the basis of the second point as a result added in the second state.
Similarly, “when the fourth state is started during the third state, the execution of the third lottery being executed is continued” means that the third lottery is a damage lottery, for example. When the fourth state is started during the third state, if the damage immediately before the start of the fourth state is added from the first damage and reaches the second damage, the fourth state In executing the damage lottery, the damage is added on the basis of the second damage as a result added in the third state.

  The “execution of the first lottery being executed” is sufficient if the first lottery can be executed, for example, the first lottery is executed when a predetermined lottery opportunity is won. Similarly, for the “execution of the second lottery being executed”, it is sufficient if the second lottery can be executed, such as executing the second lottery when winning a predetermined lottery opportunity, For the “execution of the third lottery being executed”, it is sufficient if the third lottery can be executed, for example, the third lottery is executed when a predetermined lottery opportunity is won.

  “Perform the second lottery in the transitioned second state,” for example, the second state such as executing the second lottery when winning a predetermined lottery trigger in the transitioned second state It is sufficient if the second lottery can be executed. Similarly, “execute the third lottery of the third state that has been transferred” is executed by, for example, executing a third lottery when a predetermined lottery opportunity is won in the transferred third state. It is sufficient if the third lottery can be executed in the three states.

Accordingly, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of shifting to a state advantageous to the player while switching a lottery object for shifting to a state advantageous to the player while staying in a certain gaming state. .
That is, when the state is shifted from the first state to the second state while staying in the fourth state, the lottery object is switched from the first lottery to the second lottery, and while staying in the fourth state, the second state When the transition to the third state, the target of the lottery is switched from the second lottery to the third lottery, so that the transition to the third state advantageous to the player during the stay in the fourth state or the third state A gaming machine capable of continuing the lottery regarding the privilege can be provided.

In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the game machine further includes a role lottery means for performing a role lottery for determining whether or not to win a role using a plurality of predetermined lottery tables. The second lottery and the second lottery are performed when a specific combination predetermined by the combination lottery is won, and at least the first lottery and the second lottery shift to the third state. It includes an improved lottery that increases the possibility of performing.
Here, the “specific combination” may be one combination or a plurality of combinations, and may be any combination such as a small combination or a rare combination, but all set values (for example, setting 1 to setting 6). A combination that has a common winning probability (a combination that has no so-called setting difference) is preferable.
Further, the “specific combination” corresponds to the first specific combination that triggers the improvement lottery in the first embodiment, but is not limited thereto.
Accordingly, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of performing the first lottery and the second lottery when a predetermined combination is won.

  Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the lottery table further includes a first lottery table used at least during the stay in the first state, the second state, and the third state. A second lottery table used during the stay in the fourth state, and at least the specific combination is a combination in which a game medium is paid out, and the second lottery table is more than the first lottery table. Is characterized by a high winning probability.

The “first lottery table” includes, for example, a first state lottery table used during the first state, a second state lottery table used during the second state, and a third state lottery used during the third state. And a table. In this case, the third state lottery table can set the winning probability of the predetermined replay combination higher than the first state lottery table and the second state lottery table. For example, the first and second state common lottery tables used in common during the first state and the second state and the third state dedicated lottery table used only during the third state can be used. In this case, the third state exclusive lottery table can set the winning probability of the predetermined replay combination higher than the first and second state common lottery tables.
In addition, the “second lottery table” includes, for example, a lottery table for the fourth state A when the fourth state includes a plurality of states (fourth state A, fourth state B, and fourth state C), The lottery table for the state B and the lottery table for the fourth state C can be configured.

  The “specific combination” is a combination with a payout of game media, excluding the so-called replay combination. Therefore, when the lottery table in which the winning probability of the replay role is set is used, the first lottery that is triggered by the winning of the specific role can be executed. There are relatively few games in which the lottery is not executed. Similarly, if it is possible to execute the second lottery triggered by the winning of the specific combination, the number of games in which the second lottery is not executed is relatively small.

  As a result, when staying in the 4th state, it becomes easier to win a specific role, and the number of times that the improved lottery to move to the 3rd state is performed in the first lottery and the second lottery increases. As a result It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can increase the possibility of shifting to the third state.

  In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the game machine further includes a role lottery means for performing a role lottery for determining whether or not to win a role using a plurality of predetermined lottery tables. The lottery and the second lottery are performed when a plurality of types of specific roles predetermined by the role lottery are won, and at least one of the first lottery and the second lottery is selected. Includes an improved lottery that increases the possibility of transition to the third state and a reduced lottery that decreases, and the plurality of types of specific combinations include a first specific combination in which only the improved lottery is performed, and the improved lottery A second specific combination that may be performed in both of the reduction lotteries is included.

Here, it is desirable that the first specific combination is a so-called rare combination that has a lower probability of winning by the combination lottery than the second specific combination, but is not limited thereto.
Thereby, depending on the winning combination, it is possible to prevent the reduction lottery from being performed, and it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing a decrease in the interest of the player.
In other words, if the first specific role is set as a so-called rare role, even if a rare role is won, a reduced lottery will be held, preventing the player's expectation from being lost when the rare role is won. doing.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the lottery table further includes a first lottery table used at least during the stay in the first state, the second state, and the third state. A second lottery table used during the stay in the fourth state, and at least the first specific combination is a combination in which a game medium is paid out, and the second lottery table is more than the first lottery table. Is characterized in that the winning probability is set higher.
As a result, when staying in the 4th state, it becomes easier to win a specific role, and the number of times that the improved lottery to move to the 3rd state is performed in the first lottery and the second lottery increases. As a result It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can increase the possibility of shifting to the third state.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is further set that the reduction lottery is performed only when the improvement lottery is not won, and the first specific combination is the second The winning probability of the winning combination lottery is set lower than that of the specific winning combination.
As a result, if a winning combination with a low winning probability is won, only an improved lottery will be performed, and depending on the winning combination, a reduced lottery may not be performed, preventing a decrease in the interest of the player. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can be used.

  In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, a first state, a second state that can be shifted from the first state, and a state that can be shifted from the second state, at least games than the first state. A third state that is advantageous to the player, and a fourth state that can be started during the first state, the second state, and the third state, and that is at least advantageous to the player than the first state. Provided with a lottery means for performing a role lottery for determining whether or not to win a role using a plurality of predetermined lottery tables, the lottery table including at least the first state and the second state And a third lottery table used during the stay in the fourth state, and a second lottery table used during the stay in the fourth state. In the first state, the state shifts to the second state. The first lottery for In the second state, the second lottery for shifting to the third state can be executed, and in the third state, the third lottery for granting a privilege related to the third state can be executed. When the fourth state is started during the first state where the first lottery is executed, the first lottery is continued and the first lottery is continuously executed. As a result, the second lottery can be executed during the stay in the fourth state, and the second lottery that has become executable is executed during the stay in the fourth state. According to the result of the second lottery, the third lottery can be executed during the stay in the fourth state, and at least the first lottery and the second lottery are determined in advance by the combination lottery. The specified role is a game medium that is performed when the specified role is won. A role with payout, towards the second lottery table than the first lottery table is characterized in that it is set higher winning probability.

Here, the “first state” is a state excluding the “second state” and the “third state”, and is a normal state that is normally performed (in the case of providing a permitted section and a non-permitted section, a permitted section normal state). Including, but not limited to.
The “second state” includes a state such as a chance zone state, but is not limited thereto.
The “third state” includes, but is not limited to, an assist time state and an assist replay time state.
The “fourth state” includes a gaming state such as a bonus, but is not limited thereto.
“First lottery” includes, but is not limited to, mode promotion lottery.
“Second lottery” includes, but is not limited to, point lottery.
The “third lottery” includes a damage lottery, but is not limited to this.
The “privilege regarding the third state” includes, but is not limited to, continuing the third state and adding the period of the third state.

Accordingly, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of shifting to a state advantageous to the player while switching a lottery object for shifting to a state advantageous to the player while staying in a certain gaming state. .
That is, when the state is shifted from the first state to the second state while staying in the fourth state, the lottery object is switched from the first lottery to the second lottery, and while staying in the fourth state, the second state When the transition to the third state, the target of the lottery is switched from the second lottery to the third lottery, so that the transition to the third state advantageous to the player during the stay in the fourth state or the third state A gaming machine capable of continuing the lottery regarding the privilege can be provided.

  In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, a first state, a second state that can be shifted from the first state, and a state that can be shifted from the second state, at least games than the first state. A third state that is advantageous to the player, and a fourth state that can be started during the first state, the second state, and the third state, and that is at least advantageous to the player than the first state. And a lottery means for performing a role lottery for determining whether or not to win a role using a plurality of predetermined lottery tables, wherein the lottery table includes at least the first state and the second state. A first lottery table used during stay in the third state and a second lottery table used during stay in the fourth state are included, and in the first state, the state shifts to the second state. The first lottery is possible and In the second state, a second lottery for shifting to the third state can be executed, and in the third state, a third lottery for granting a privilege related to the third state can be executed, When the fourth state is started during the second state in which the second lottery is executed, the execution of the second lottery is continued, and the second lottery executed continuously is executed. As a result, during the stay in the fourth state, the third lottery can be executed, and at least the second lottery is performed when a specific combination predetermined by the combination lottery is won, and the specific The winning combination is a winning combination of game media, and the second lottery table has a higher winning probability than the first lottery table.

Here, the “first state” is a state excluding the “second state” and the “third state”, and is a normal state that is normally performed (in the case of providing a permitted section and a non-permitted section, a permitted section normal state). Including, but not limited to.
The “second state” includes a state such as a chance zone state, but is not limited thereto.
The “third state” includes, but is not limited to, an assist time state and an assist replay time state.
The “fourth state” includes a gaming state such as a bonus, but is not limited thereto.
“First lottery” includes, but is not limited to, mode promotion lottery.

During the fourth state internal state, The first lottery, the second lottery, and the third lottery are not executed.

“The first lottery is not executed during the fourth state internal state” means that when the first lottery is a mode promotion lottery, for example, the fourth state internal state is started during the first state If the mode immediately before the start of the fourth state internal state reaches the second mode promoted from the first mode, change the second mode to the fourth state internal state. It is to maintain without.
Similarly, “the second lottery is not executed during the fourth state internal state” means that if the second lottery is a point lottery, for example, the fourth state internal state is started during the second state. If the point just before the start of the fourth state internal state is added from the first point and reaches the second point, the second point is put into the fourth state internal state. To keep it unchanged.
Similarly, “the third lottery is not executed during the fourth state internal state” means that if the third lottery is, for example, a damage lottery, the fourth state internal state is started during the third state. If the damage immediately before the start of the fourth state is added from the first damage and reaches the second damage, the second damage is changed into the fourth state internal state. It is to keep without.

  Thereby, during the fourth state internal state, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing execution of the lottery regarding the transition to the third state and the privilege.

In addition, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the game machine further includes an effect device capable of producing an effect for the player, and when the first state is shifted to the second state, the effect device is When the first effect used is executed and the state is shifted to the fourth state during the shifted second state, the execution of the second lottery during the execution is continued, and the first effect is performed. A second effect for informing that the degree of expectation of the second lottery is high is executed.

The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 270.

(Production control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effect of the gaming machine 10 in accordance with the gaming state shown in FIGS.
Further, when the production control means 320 receives a command for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 from the permission section control means 260 of the main control board 200 during the permission section shown in FIG. An effect for informing the user is executed.
Specifically, on the screen of the display device 84 corresponding to the position of each stop switch 50 (specifically, the position of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to each stop switch 50), a plurality of images or videos (for example, “1” "2""3") is displayed to notify the pressing order. Thereafter, each time the stop switch 50 is operated, the portion corresponding to the position of the operated stop switch 50 is erased (or changed to an image indicating no order).

In addition, the effect control means 320 executes the first effect using the effect device 70 when the “non-permitted section normal state” described later shifts to the “CZ state”, and from the transitioned “CZ state”. When the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered, a second effect is issued to notify that the degree of expectation of the point lottery is higher than that of the first effect.
Therefore, the player is performing the same lottery (point lottery), but it is understood that it is easy to acquire points, and the interest can be improved.

Here, the bonus effect in the bonus game state will be specifically described.
In the bonus game state “BB1”, a first bonus effect in which a predetermined moving image is output to the display device 84 during the bonus game state “BB1” is executed.
Similarly, in the bonus game state “BB2”, a second bonus effect in which a predetermined moving image is output to the display device 84 during the bonus game state “BB2” is executed.

In the bonus game state “BB3”, the third bonus effect executed in the bonus game state “BB3” varies depending on the game state when the bonus game state “BB3” is entered.
When the third bonus combination is won during the permitted section normal state and the bonus game state “BB3” is entered, a predetermined third bonus effect A is executed. This third bonus effect A corresponds to “BIG BONUS” of the “effect image” in FIG.

  Further, when the third bonus combination is won during the CZ state and the bonus game state “BB3” is shifted to, the third bonus effect B having the effect contents different from the third bonus effect A is executed. The third bonus effect B corresponds to the “second effect” of the “effect image” in FIG.

  Further, when the third bonus combination is won during the ART ready state or the ART state and the bonus game state “BB3” is shifted to, the content of the effect is different from the third bonus effect AB, and the ART ready state or A third bonus effect C similar to the effect in the ART state is executed. This third bonus effect C corresponds to the “battle effect” of the “effect image” in FIG.

For example, if the normal performance that is developed in the permitted section normal state is a “mission effect” that clears the given mission, the third bonus game state effect A is given a special mission that cannot be given in the normal performance. "Mission production".
For example, when the CZ effect developed in the CZ state is set as a “search effect” for searching for enemies in a certain stage, the third bonus effect B is not a mission effect, but a special stage that does not appear in the CZ effect. “Search effect”.
For example, when the ART effect developed in the ART preparation state or the ART state is a “battle effect” in which the main character and the enemy character fight, it is not the mission effect, the search effect, and the ART effect is taken over. The form is a “battle production”.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the condition for determining the transition to the CZ state is established by the mode promotion lottery during the bonus game state “BB3” that has shifted from the permitted section normal state, or the state is changed to the ART state by the point lottery. There are cases where the conditions for determining the transition are satisfied. At this time, the third bonus effect can be appropriately switched during the bonus game state “BB3”.
For example, in the third bonus game state “BB3”, first, the third bonus effect A (BIG BONUS in FIG. 14) is executed, and the third bonus effect A is continuously executed even if the condition for shifting to the CZ state is satisfied. Thereafter, when the condition for shifting to the ART state is satisfied, the mode is switched to the third bonus effect C (the battle effect in FIG. 16).

  Further, for example, in the third bonus game state “BB3”, first, the third bonus effect A (BIG BONUS in FIG. 14) is executed, and when the condition for shifting to the CZ state is satisfied, the third bonus effect B is switched to. Thereafter, when the condition for shifting to the ART state is satisfied, the mode is switched to the third bonus effect C (the battle effect in FIG. 16).

  In the bonus game state “BB4”, as in the bonus game state “BB3”, the fourth bonus effect executed in the bonus game state “BB4” is performed depending on the game state when the bonus game state “BB4” is entered. To be different.

(Description of gaming state using FIG. 11)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The gaming state is managed by the main control means 200. As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state is roughly divided into a normal gaming state, an RT state, a bonus internal medium state, and a bonus gaming state. Note that the winning probability for the re-gamer in each gaming state is set to 1 / 7.3 in the normal gaming state RT0 (initial state), and in the normal gaming state RT1 is 1/7, which is the same as RT0. .3 is set.

  In RT state RT2 and RT3 and bonus internal medium state RT4, the winning probability for the re-gamer is set higher than RT0 and RT1 in the normal game state. In RT4, the winning probability for the re-gamer is set lower than RT2 or RT3 but higher than RT0 and RT1. Of course, the winning probability of this RT4 re-gamer may be set equal to RT0 and RT1, or may be set equal to RT2 or RT3 or higher than RT2 or RT3.

The normal gaming state is controlled by the normal gaming state control means 251, and there are RT0 and RT1.
From “RT0” to “RT1”, a transition is made when the push order spilling symbol as the RT1 specific symbol is stopped and displayed. Here, the “push order spilling design” means, for example, when CBE1 or CBE2 as a winning group is won (see FIG. 10) and the push order is incorrect (the stop switch 50 is operated with the first left stop). The symbol 61 is displayed in a stopped state. In “RT0”, push order navigation is not executed, and the player operates the stop switch 50 with the left first stop. Therefore, when the winning combination group CBE1 or CBE2 is won at RT0, and the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop by the player, the RT1 specific symbol is stopped and shifted to “RT1”.

The “RT state” is controlled by the RT state control means 252, and there are “RT 2” and “RT 3” that have a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than the “normal game state”.
From the normal gaming state to the RT state, specifically, from “RT1” to “RT2”, the winning group RT2RP1 to RT2RP4 is won (see FIG. 10), and the stop switch 50 is stopped in the correct push order. In the case of being played, the RT2 re-playing symbol as the RT2 transition symbol is stopped and displayed, and the routine proceeds to “RT2”.

In RT2, if the winning group RT2RP5 to RT2RP9 are won (see FIG. 10) and the stop switch 50 is stopped in a pressing order other than the correct pressing order, RT1 re-entering as RT1 transition symbol The game symbol is stopped and displayed and “RT1” is entered.
Further, in RT2, when the push order spilling symbol as the RT1 specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to “RT1”.

When “RT2” to “RT3” are elected from RT3RP1 to RT3RP3 as the winning group (see FIG. 10) and the stop switch 50 is stopped in the correct pushing order, RT3 as the RT3 transition symbol The replay symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT3”.
In RT3, if RT3RP4 to RT3RP6 as the winning group is won (see FIG. 10) and the stop switch 50 is stopped in a pressing order other than the correct pressing order, RT1 re-entered as the RT1 transition symbol The game symbol is stopped and displayed and “RT1” is entered. Furthermore, in RT3, when the push order spilling symbol as the RT1 specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to “RT1”.

  The “bonus internal medium state” is an example of the fourth state internal state, which is controlled by the bonus internal medium state control means 253, and in the normal game state or the RT state, one of RBB1 to RBB4 as a winning group is won. When the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination cannot be stopped and displayed on the active line 86, the transition is made (see FIG. 9).

In the present embodiment, one “bonus internal state” is provided, but a bonus internal state may be provided according to the type of “bonus gaming state” described later.
Specifically, as a bonus transition combination, a first bonus internal medium state corresponding to the first bonus combination, a second bonus internal medium state corresponding to the second bonus combination, a third bonus internal medium state corresponding to the third bonus combination, A fourth bonus internal state corresponding to the fourth bonus combination is provided. When the combination of symbols of the first bonus combination is stopped and displayed in the first bonus internal state, the bonus game state “BB1” is entered and the second bonus combination is displayed. When the combination of symbols of the second bonus combination is displayed in a stopped state in the internal state, the bonus game state “BB2” is entered. When the combination of symbols of the third bonus combination is displayed in a stopped state in the third bonus state, the bonus is displayed. When the game state “BB3” is entered and the combination of symbols of the fourth bonus combination is stopped and displayed in the fourth bonus internal state, the game state “BB4” is entered.

The “bonus game state” is controlled by the bonus game state control means 254 and includes “RBB (big bonus)”.
“RBB (Big Bonus)” is transferred by stopping and displaying the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination which is an example of the special combination on the active line 86 in “RT4”.
In addition, “RBB (Big Bonus)” is selected as a bonus transition role as an example of a special role in “normal game state” and “RT state”, and a symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role is displayed on the active line 86. Transitions by displaying the stop display.

Here, “RBB (big bonus)” includes “BB1”, “BB2”, “BB3” as an example of the fourth state, and “BB4” as an example of the fourth state.
In addition, the “RBB (Big Bonus)” is a regular bonus (RB) that is continuously operated, and ends with the payout of over 400 medals for BB1 and BB2, and over 200 for BB3 and BB4.
Then, after the end of “BB1 to BB4”, the state shifts to “normal gaming state (RT0)”.

(Description of the push order notification state using FIG. 12)
As shown in FIG. 12, the push order notification state (notification state) includes “non-permitted section” and “permitted section”.
Here, the “non-permitted section” indicates to the player when the stop switch 50 is operated in the pre-determined push order by the winning lottery and the winning push combination is won. It is an impossible section.
In addition, the “permitted section” can be shifted from the “non-permitted section”, and when the stop switch 50 is operated in the predetermined push order by the winning lottery, when the winning push winning combination is won. This is a section in which the player can be notified of the pushing order.

In the present embodiment, whether the gaming state (see FIG. 11) stays in the permitted section normal state in BB3 or BB4, stays in either CZA or CZB in the CZ state, or the AT state However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mode lottery, point lottery, and damage lottery described later in BB3 or BB4 are switched without determining which state the user is staying in. Also good.
Specifically, when the mode reaches the specified mode value, the number of CZ games is set and the point lottery is started. When the point value reaches the specified point value, the AT game number is set and the damage lottery is started. Thus, it is possible to switch the lottery without determining in which state the user is staying.

  Further, in the present embodiment, information indicating whether or not the user is staying in the permitted section normal state, information indicating whether or not the user is staying in CZA or CZB in the CZ state, and information indicating whether or not the user is staying in the AT state. Is provided, and the information is appropriately switched in BB3 or BB4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and information indicating whether or not the authorized section in BB3 or BB4 is staying in the normal state and the CZ state in BB3 or BB4 Information indicating whether the user is staying in CZA or CZB and information indicating whether the user is staying in the AT state in BB3 or BB4 may be provided and used for various processes.

The “non-permitted section” is a section excluding the “permitted section”, and the “non-permitted section” includes a “non-permitted section normal state”.
(Normal state of non-permitted section)
The non-permitted section normal state is a state excluding special states such as “permitted section normal state”, “CZ state (chance zone state)”, and “AT state” in a “permitted section” described later.
The gaming state during stay in the non-permitted section normal state is mainly staying in “RT1” in the normal gaming state (see FIG. 11).

From “non-permitted section” to “permitted section”, specifically, from “non-permitted section normal state” to “permitted section normal state”, a predetermined transition trigger role in the role lottery in the non-permitted section normal state, for example, Based on having won the permitted section shift lottery performed based on winning the watermelon role. It should be noted that the transition from “non-permitted section normal state” to “permitted section normal state” is not limited to transition based on winning the permitted section transition lottery, but based on winning a predetermined transition trigger. It may be migrated.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the transition from the “non-permitted zone normal state” to the “permitted zone normal state”, and the transition to the “CZ state” may be made without passing through the “permitted zone normal state”.

  The permitted section normal state is a state in which the non-permitted section normal state in the non-permitted section is continued. That is, the difference between the “non-permitted section normal state” and the “permitted section normal state” is the difference between the staying section being “non-permitted section” or “permitted section”.

(Permitted section)
The “permitted section” is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the “non-permitted section”, and includes a “permitted section normal state”, a “CZ state (chance zone state)”, and an “AT state”.
In this “permitted section”, an instruction relating to a combination of symbols related to winning in which the maximum payout number is obtained at least once is to be given.
For example, when the small combination relating to the maximum payout number is “push order bell combination” among a plurality of small combinations, the push order of “push order bell combination” is notified at least once in the special section. It will be.

Here, the section advantageous to the player means that, for example, in the non-permitted section, the winning combination that is awarded when the stop switch 50 is operated in the predetermined pressing order by the combination lottery is won. Even if it is a case, it is possible to inform the player of the pushing order from the state where it was impossible to do so, or because the ART state that is not executed in the non-permitted section is executed, It is a section that is advantageous to the elderly.
Therefore, it is not necessary for the player to be advantageous throughout the entire “permitted section”. For example, one of the “permitted sections” may be the same for the non-permitted section normal state and the permitted section normal state. There may be cases where the player is not advantageous to the player.
(Normal state of permitted section)
The permitted section normal state is an example of the first state, and is a state excluding special states such as “CZ state (chance zone state)” and “AT state” in the “permitted section”.
The gaming state during the stay in the permitted section normal state is mainly staying in “RT1” in the normal gaming state (see FIG. 11).

  In the permission section normal state, in order to shift to the “AT state” that is an example of the third state via the “CZ state” that is an example of the second state, first, the second state for shifting to the “CZ state” The mode promotion lottery is performed as a mode lottery which is an example of the improvement lottery of one lottery.

  Here, the “mode” is a multi-stage mode with different degrees of expectation for the player to enter the “CZ state”, for example, “mode 1”, “mode 2”, “mode 3”, “mode 4”, “ “Mode 5” and “Mode 6” are provided. In the present embodiment, when the mode is promoted to “Mode 6”, the mode is set to shift to the “CZ state”. In other words, the mode promotion lottery executed in “mode 5” is a CZ transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the CZ state.

The mode promotion lottery is performed when a specific combination predetermined by the combination lottery means 210, for example, a watermelon combination, a cherry combination, or a chance combination is won.
When the mode promotion lottery is won, the mode is promoted from one stage, for example, from “mode 1” to “mode 2” and from “mode 5” to “mode 6”, but is not limited to this. For example, it may be promoted from “mode 1” to “mode 3” or from “mode 1” to “mode 6”.

  The “CZ state” includes “CZA” and “CZB” as will be described later. Which of the CZ states is to be shifted is determined by a lottery when promoted to “mode 6”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be determined according to the winning combination when promoted to “mode 6”, or may be determined by another method.

  It should be noted that, when promoted to “mode 6”, it is not limited to the case where it is set to shift to the “CZ state”, and a specific combination predetermined by the combination lottery means 210 in each game, for example, a watermelon combination In the game when winning the cherry role, chance role or when the mode promotion lottery is won and the mode is promoted, whether or not to shift to the CZ state depending on the mode in which the game is staying , And winning the lottery, the player may make a transition to the CZ state at a predetermined transition timing, for example, a game next to the game won in the lottery.

The improvement lottery is not limited to the “mode promotion lottery”, and may be a lottery that increases the possibility of shifting to the CZ state, and may be, for example, a point lottery for determining whether or not to acquire points.
Specifically, in the permitted section normal state, a value corresponding to the result of the role lottery is acquired as a point, and when the accumulated value of the acquired point reaches a specified value (for example, 100 points), the state is shifted to the CZ state. May be.
In this case, the value according to the result of the lottery includes a value that approaches the specified value and a value that is far from the specified value. If the specified winning combination is won as a result of the role lottery, a value that approaches the specified value is acquired. Is preferable.

In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that triggers the “mode promotion lottery” is set so as not to differ depending on the set value.
That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.

In addition, when the bonus transition combination (No. 3 bonus combination, 4th bonus combination) is won and the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped during the permitted section normal state (bonus transition combination combination) In (winning), the gaming state shifts from “normal gaming state” to “bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4)” which is an example of the fourth state.
Here, the lottery table for the role lottery includes a first lottery table for the normal gaming state and a second lottery table for the bonus gaming state, and a specific role that triggers the “mode promotion lottery”, for example, watermelon The winning probabilities of the winning combination, the cherry winning combination and the chance winning combination are set to be higher in the second lottery table.

Therefore, with the transition of the gaming state, the lottery table for the role lottery is switched from the first lottery table for the normal gaming state to the second lottery table for the bonus gaming state, and the winning probability of the specific role that triggers the “mode promotion lottery” Becomes higher.
In other words, when transitioning to the bonus game state during the normal state of the permitted section, it becomes easier to win a specific role that triggers the mode promotion lottery, the number of mode promotion lottery increases, and as a result, the mode promotion lottery can be won Increases nature.
Therefore, when the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is shifted to, it becomes easier to shift to the CZ state.
If the bonus transition combination (first bonus combination, second bonus combination) with “setting difference” is won and the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed, the mode promotion lottery is canceled.

In other words, the present embodiment includes a first lottery table that is referred to in the role lottery in the game in the normal gaming state, and a second lottery table that is referred to in the role lottery in the game in the bonus game state. The winning probability of the specific combination in the first lottery table and the winning probability of the specific combination in the second lottery table are different from each other, and the winning probability of the specific combination in the second lottery table is higher than that in the first lottery table. It is set as follows.
Here, when the first lottery table and the second lottery table are referred to in the role lottery, it is only necessary that the probability of winning one of a plurality of specific combinations is high. Therefore, for example, the winning probability of the cherry part in the first lottery table is set higher than the winning probability of the cherry part in the second lottery table. The winning probability may be set high. Similarly, a specific combination that is not won in the second lottery table may be set to win in the first lottery table. Of course, it is preferable that all of the specific combinations that can be won in the first lottery table can be won with high probability in the second lottery table.

(Modification of mode lottery)
In the mode lottery, only the mode promotion lottery is executed as an improved lottery that increases the possibility of shifting to the AT state, and the mode is only promoted, but the mode is demoted as a reduced lottery that reduces the possibility of shifting to the AT state. Such mode demotion lottery may be executed.

Here, for the plurality of types of specific combinations, the first specific combination in which only the improvement lottery is performed, for example, a so-called rare combination such as a watermelon combination, a cherry combination, and a chance combination, and both an improvement lottery and a reduction lottery can be performed. A second specific combination having a sex, for example, a push order bell combination is included.
In this modified example, when the second specific combination is won, first, the improvement lottery (mode promotion lottery) is performed, and when the improvement lottery is not won, the reduction lottery (mode demotion lottery) is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined by lottery which lottery is performed, or both lotteries may be performed simultaneously.

In this embodiment, the mode lottery is executed only in the permitted section normal state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lottery is performed in another state, for example, the permitted section normal state or the AT state. May be.
The mode lottery may be performed by reflecting the result of a predetermined lottery performed in another state, for example, the CZ state or the AT state. For example, if the CZ state or AT state has shifted to the permitted section normal state, depending on the result of a predetermined lottery performed in the CZ state or AT state, for example, a point lottery performed in the CZ state, It is also possible to make the lottery in the initial mode advantageous when shifting to the permitted section normal state.

(CZ state)
The “CZ state” is an example of the second state, and is a state in which the “AT state” is easier to shift than the “permitted section normal state”.
The “CZ state” includes “CZA” and “CZB”.
In the present embodiment, “CZA” is composed of 24 games and “CZB” is composed of 12 games, and the transition to the “AT state” is determined during the number of the games (this embodiment will be described later). However, when a point lottery is performed as an example of the second lottery and a predetermined number of points is acquired), the process proceeds to the “AT state”. Further, when the transition to the “AT state” is not confirmed (in this embodiment, when a predetermined number of points cannot be obtained as described later), at least one maximum payout number is obtained. Returning to the “non-permitted section normal state” on condition that an instruction relating to the combination of symbols relating to the winning (informing of the pressing order) is given.

Note that “CZA” is not limited to a case where a longer game number is set than “CZB”, and a longer game number may be set for “CZB”. You may make it determine by lottery.
Further, the second lottery is not limited to “point lottery”, and may be a lottery for shifting to the AT state.

Further, in “CZA” and “CZB”, the predetermined number of points for shifting to the AT state described later may be set to different numerical values.
That is, in “CZA”, since the improvement lottery and the reduction lottery are described later, a predetermined number of points is set to, for example, “30 points”. May be set to more than “CZA”, for example, “60 points”.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to setting a larger number of points in “CZB” than in “CZA”, and a smaller number of points may be set.

(CZA)
“CZA” is a point lottery as an example of the second lottery when a predetermined opportunity, for example, a plurality of types of specific roles predetermined by a role lottery is won.
Then, when a predetermined number of points is acquired, it is set to shift to the “AT state”.
Here, the point lottery includes an improved lottery that increases the possibility of shifting to the AT state and a reduced lottery that decreases.

The improvement lottery is a lottery (point addition lottery) as to whether or not to acquire points, and the reduction lottery is a lottery (point subtraction lottery) as to whether or not points are subtracted.
Further, the number of points acquired in the improvement lottery and the number of points subtracted in the reduction lottery are determined by lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be determined in advance by the winning combination in the winning lottery. .

Here, the plurality of types of specific combinations include a first specific combination in which only the improvement lottery is performed, for example, a so-called rare combination such as a watermelon combination, a cherry combination, a chance combination, or a normal bell combination, and both an improvement lottery and a reduction lottery Are included, for example, a push order bell combination. In addition, a combination in which only a reduction lottery is performed, for example, a normal replay combination and a push order replay combination are included.
In the present embodiment, when the second specified combination is won, the improvement lottery is first performed, and when the improvement lottery is not won, the reduction lottery is set. However, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, which lottery is performed may be determined by lottery, or both lotteries may be performed simultaneously.
The first specific combination is a combination with a medal payout as a game medium, and does not include a replay combination.
In the present embodiment, there are cases where only the improvement lottery is performed, both the improvement lottery and the reduction lottery are performed, and only the reduction lottery is performed depending on the combination won by the combination lottery. It is not limited to this, and it is possible not to provide a combination in which both the improvement lottery and the reduction lottery are performed, or not to provide a combination in which only the reduction lottery is performed.

In addition, the lottery probability of the role lottery of the specific role that triggers the “point lottery” is set so as not to differ depending on the set value.
That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.

In addition, if a bonus transition combination (3rd bonus combination, 4th bonus combination) of “no setting difference” is won during CZA and a symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped (bonus transfer combination winning) The gaming state shifts from “normal gaming state” to “bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4)” which is an example of the fourth state.
Here, the lottery table for the role lottery includes a first lottery table for the normal gaming state and a second lottery table for the bonus gaming state, and the winning probability of the first specific role that triggers the “point lottery” Is set to be higher in the second lottery table.

Therefore, the lottery table for the role lottery is switched from the first lottery table for the normal gaming state to the second lottery table for the bonus gaming state in accordance with the transition of the gaming state, and the lottery of the first specific role that triggers the “point lottery” Probability increases.
In other words, if you move to the bonus game state during CZA, it will be easier to win the role that triggers the improvement lottery, the number of times the improvement lottery will be performed increases, and as a result the possibility of winning the improvement lottery increases, Increase your chances of winning.
Therefore, when shifting to the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), it becomes easier to shift to the AT state.
If a bonus transition combination (the first bonus combination, the second bonus combination) with a “setting difference” is won and the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed, the point lottery is stopped.

(CZB)
“CZB” is a point lottery as an example of an improvement lottery of the second lottery when a specific role predetermined by a lottery, for example, a watermelon role, a cherry role, or a chance role is won. Done.
Then, when a predetermined number of points is acquired, it is set to shift to the “AT state”.

Here, the improvement lottery is a lottery (point addition lottery) as to whether or not to acquire points.
Moreover, although the number of points acquired by the improvement lottery is determined by the lottery, it is not limited thereto, and may be determined in advance by the winning combination by the winning lottery.

In addition, the lottery probability of the role lottery of the specific role that triggers the “point lottery” is set so as not to differ depending on the set value.
That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.

In addition, if a bonus transition combination (3rd bonus combination, 4th bonus combination) of “No setting difference” is won during CZB, and a symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped (bonus transition combination winning) The gaming state shifts from “normal gaming state” to “bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4)” which is an example of the fourth state.
Here, the lottery table for the role lottery includes a first lottery table for the normal gaming state and a second lottery table for the bonus gaming state, and the winning probability of the specific role that triggers the “point lottery” is as follows: The second lottery table is set to be higher.

Therefore, the lottery table for the role combination is switched from the first lottery table for the normal gaming state to the second lottery table for the bonus gaming state in accordance with the transition of the gaming state, and the lottery probability of the specific role that triggers the “point lottery” is increased. Get higher.
That is, when the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered during CZA, it becomes easier to win the role that triggers the improved lottery, and the number of times the improved lottery is performed may increase, resulting in the possibility of winning the improved lottery. Increase your chances of getting points.
Therefore, when shifting to the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), it becomes easier to shift to the AT state.
If a bonus transition combination (the first bonus combination, the second bonus combination) with a “setting difference” is won and the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed, the point lottery is stopped.

  In the present embodiment, the point lottery is executed only in the CZ state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lottery may be performed in another state, for example, the permitted section normal state or the AT state.

(AT state)
The “AT state” is an example of the third state, and is a state more advantageous to the player than the “non-permitted section”. When the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified is started, and the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notified pressing order, whereby the selected small role or replay The combination of symbols of the combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

  In the “AT state”, a predetermined role, for example, a role predetermined by a lottery, such as a normal replay role, a normal bell role, a push order replay role, a push order bell role, a watermelon role, a cherry role, a chance When winning a winning combination, as an example of the third lottery, a damage lottery is performed as to whether or not to continue the AT state as a privilege related to the AT state.

The “AT state” includes “ART ready state” and “ART state”.
(ART ready state)
The “ART ready state” is an “AT state” when the game state is the “RT1 state” in FIG. 11, and in the “RT1 state”, a push order replay combination ( When the promotion replay combination is won, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the pressing order replay combination is notified. When the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notification, the RT2 transition symbol, so-called promotion replay symbol, is stopped and displayed, the gaming state shifts to the “RT2 state”, and shifts to the “ART state”.

(ART state)
The “ART state” is a state more advantageous to the player than the “non-permitted section”. When the “ART state” is entered, the AT state, which is a game in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified, and the RT2 state are started, and the winning switch is operated by operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified pressing order. It is possible to stop and display the combination of symbols of the small role. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

Here, the damage lottery which is an example of the third lottery will be described more specifically.
In the “ART ready state” of the present embodiment, for example, when the transition to the “AT state” is determined in the “CZ state”, a value (50) corresponding to a predetermined initial number of AT games (for example, 50 games). Is set to a counter indicating the period of the remaining AT state (hereinafter referred to as “battle counter counter”). In the “ART ready state”, a battle effect in which the main character and the enemy character battle is executed, and “1” is subtracted from the battle counter every time the game is digested in the “ART ready state”. .

  In the “ART ready state” of the present embodiment, for example, when the transition to the AT state is determined in the CZ state, a predetermined initial HP value (100) is a counter indicating the enemy character's remaining HP (hereinafter, “damage counter”). Say). In the ART state, when a predetermined damage number is determined by a damage lottery triggered by a predetermined winning combination, the damage number is subtracted from the damage counter.

In the “ART state” of the present embodiment, the content of the effect is taken over from the “ART ready state”, the battle effect is executed, and the battle counter value at the end of the ART ready state is taken over to play the game in the ART state. "1" is subtracted from the battle counter every time.
Here, taking over the battle effect means that the character appearing in the “ART ready state” battle effect also appears in the ART state battle effect, or if the enemy character is inferior in the ART ready state, The battle production is also started from the inferior production state.

In the “ART state” of the present embodiment, as in the “ART ready state”, a damage lottery triggered by the winning of a predetermined role is executed, and a predetermined number of damages is determined by this damage lottery Subtract the damage number from the damage counter.
When the remaining HP (damage counter value) of the enemy character reaches “0” as a result of the game, it is determined to continue the “ART state”.
When the remaining HP of the enemy character becomes “0” and the continuation of the “ART state” is determined, the initial ART game number is set in the battle counter, and the “ART state” is started again.
The battle effect in the “ART state” at this time is such that the battle is developed from the beginning again, as in the case of the first hit.

In the “ART state” of the present embodiment, when the damage counter value reaches “0”, the battle counter value may exceed the specified value (0). In such a case, the remaining battle counter value may be reset (set to 0) and the initial ART game number may be set again, or the initial ART game number may be further added to the remaining battle counter value. .
Further, the battle counter and the damage counter may be an addition method instead of the subtraction method as described above.

In addition, when a bonus transition combination (No. 3 bonus combination, 4th bonus combination) is won in the AT state and a symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped (bonus transition combination prize) The gaming state shifts from “normal gaming state” to “bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4)” which is an example of the fourth state.
Here, the lottery table for the role lottery includes a first lottery table for the normal gaming state and a second lottery table for the bonus gaming state, and the winning probability of the role that triggers the “damage lottery” is The 2 lottery table is set to be higher.

Therefore, with the transition of the gaming state, the lottery table for the role lottery is switched from the first lottery table for the normal gaming state to the second lottery table for the bonus gaming state, and the lottery probability of the specific role that triggers the “damage lottery” is increased. Get higher.
That is, when the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered during the AT state, it becomes easier to win the role that triggers the improved lottery, and the number of times the improved lottery is performed may increase, resulting in the possibility of winning the improved lottery. Increases the chances of acquiring damage.
Therefore, when transitioning to the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), it is easy to transition to the AT state (the period during which the user stays in the AT state tends to be long).
Note that if the bonus transition combination “with setting difference” is won and the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed, the damage lottery is canceled.

In addition, it is not limited to the damage lottery as to whether or not the AT state is continued as a privilege related to the AT state, and whether or not to add the number of games in the AT state, and the damage lottery that determines the number of additional games to be added by lottery It may be.
That is, in this case, when the enemy character's HP is “0”, it is determined to increase the number of games in the AT state, and the number of games to be added is determined by lottery in accordance with such determination. .

  In the “ART state (AT state)”, when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the AT state is terminated and the process returns to the “non-permitted section”. When the AT state ends, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is ended, and accordingly, when the eye is displayed, the gaming state shifts to the RT0 state and the RT ends. That is, when the first left stop, middle first stop wins the wrong answer, and push order is "wrong answer" (stop switch 50 is operated with left first stop, middle first stop) The symbol 61 is displayed in a stopped state. Since the AT is finished, the push order is not notified, and the player operates the stop switch 50 at the first left stop. Therefore, even if the player wins the bell role, the knitting eye is stopped and the state shifts to the RT0 state. .

Further, as described above, when it is determined that the AT state is to be continued, after the ART state is finished, the state is again shifted to the ART preparation state, and thereafter, the state is shifted to the ART state.
If it is determined that the AT state is to be continued, the ART state may be continued without being terminated.

  In addition, if 1500 games have been consumed from the start of the “permission period” before the number of games in the “AT state” has been consumed, the “AT state” is terminated without waiting for the number of games in the “AT state” to be consumed. And move to the “non-permitted section”.

(Modification of damage lottery)
In addition, the damage lottery determines the number of damages to be subtracted from the enemy character's damage counter by lottery. That is, the lottery is not limited to the damage addition lottery that damages the enemy character. A determination may be made, that is, a damage subtraction lottery for recovering the remaining HP of the enemy character may be performed.

Here, the damage addition lottery is an improvement lottery that increases the possibility of granting a privilege related to the third state, and the damage subtraction lottery is a reduced lottery that reduces the possibility of granting a privilege related to the third state.
In addition, the role predetermined by the role lottery includes a first specific role in which only the damage addition lottery is performed, for example, a so-called rare role such as a watermelon role, a cherry role, a chance role, and the damage addition lottery and the damage subtraction lottery. A second specific combination in which both can be performed, for example, a normal bell combination and a push order bell combination are included.

  For example, if you win the second specified role where both the damage addition lottery and the damage subtraction lottery are performed, the damage addition lottery will be performed first, and if the damage addition lottery is not won, the damage subtraction lottery will be performed However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined by lottery which drawing will be performed, or both lotteries may be performed simultaneously.

In this embodiment, the damage lottery is executed only in the AT state. However, the lottery is not limited to this. For example, the lottery may be performed in another state, for example, the permitted section normal state or the CZ state. good.
Further, the damage lottery may be performed by reflecting the result of a predetermined lottery performed in another state, for example, the permitted section normal state or the CZ state. For example, the predetermined initial HP value of the enemy character's HP is lowered in accordance with a predetermined lottery performed in the permitted section normal state, CZ state, or AT state, for example, a result of point lottery performed in the CZ state. Etc. are also possible.

(Explanation of the flow of the first lottery, the second lottery, the third lottery)
Next, an example of the flow of the first lottery, the second lottery, and the third lottery will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, a case where the bonus game state is not shifted will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13, the mode promotion lottery is performed in the permitted section normal state.

Then, by winning the mode promotion lottery, the mode is promoted to “mode 6”, so that the mode shifts to the CZ state of the permitted section.
In the CZ state, a point lottery is performed.
Then, when the number of points acquired by the point lottery reaches a predetermined number of points, the state shifts to the AT state ART ready state.

In the ART ready state, a damage lottery is performed.
Then, when the RT2 transition symbol (promotion replay) is stopped and displayed, the gaming state shifts to RT2, and then shifts to the ART state.
In the ART state, a damage lottery is performed following the ART preparation state.

Next, a case where the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered during the permitted period normal state but is not promoted to “mode 6” by the mode promotion lottery will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, the mode promotion lottery is performed during the permitted section normal state.
By winning the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) before being promoted to “mode 6” by the mode promotion lottery, the bonus internal medium state is entered.
Since the mode promotion lottery is not performed in the bonus internal middle state, the mode is maintained as it is.

When the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) is stopped and displayed, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the mode promotion lottery is performed following the permitted section normal state.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the lottery table of the role lottery has a high probability of winning the specific role that triggers the mode promotion lottery, so that it becomes easy to win the specific role and the mode is easily promoted.

In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), if the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) end condition is satisfied before being promoted to “mode 6” by the mode promotion lottery, the normal state is returned to the permitted section.
Then, in the permitted section normal state, the mode promotion lottery is continuously performed while maintaining the mode stage at the end of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4).
Note that the mode promotion lottery is not limited to the mode promotion lottery while maintaining the mode stage at the end of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), but after the mode is in the initial state, for example, “mode 0”. You may make it do.

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, a case will be described in which a transition to the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is made during the CZ state, but a predetermined number of points cannot be obtained by point lottery.
As shown in FIG. 15, a point lottery is performed in the CZ state.
By winning the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) until the predetermined number of points is acquired by the point lottery, the bonus internal medium state is entered.
Since the point lottery is not performed in the bonus internal middle state, the number of acquired points is maintained as it is.

When the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) is stopped and displayed, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the point lottery is performed following the CZ state.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the lottery table of the role lottery has a high winning probability of the specific role that triggers the point lottery, so that it is easy to win the specific role and easily acquire points.

In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), when the end condition of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is satisfied before the predetermined number of points is obtained by the point lottery, the state returns to the CZ state.
In the CZ state, the point lottery is continuously performed while maintaining the number of points at the end of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4).

Next, the case where the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered during the ART state but the enemy character's HP cannot be set to “0” by the damage lottery will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 16, a damage lottery is performed in the ART state.
By winning the bonus transition combination (third bonus combination, fourth bonus combination) before the HP of the enemy character is set to “0” by the damage lottery, the bonus internal medium state is entered.
Since the damage lottery is not performed in the bonus internal state, the damage given to the enemy character is maintained as it is.

When the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) is stopped and displayed, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), a damage lottery is performed following the ART state.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the lottery table of the role lottery has a high winning probability of the specific role that triggers the damage lottery, so that it becomes easy to win the specific role and easily damage.

In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), if the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) end condition is satisfied before the HP of the enemy character is set to “0” by damage lottery, the state returns to the ART state.
In the ART state, the damage lottery is continuously performed while maintaining the damage given to the enemy character at the end of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4).

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is shifted to the “non-permitted zone normal state”, promoted to “mode 6” by mode promotion lottery, and predetermined by point lottery in the shifted CZ state. The case where the number of points is acquired and the state is shifted to the AT state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 17, the mode promotion lottery is performed in the non-permitted section normal state.
By winning the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) before being promoted to “mode 6” by the mode promotion lottery, the bonus internal medium state is entered.
Since the mode promotion lottery is not performed in the bonus internal middle state, the mode is maintained as it is.

When the bonus transition combination (the third bonus combination, the fourth bonus combination) is stopped and displayed, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is entered.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the mode promotion lottery is performed following the normal state of the non-permitted section.
In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the lottery table of the role lottery has a high probability of winning the specific role that triggers the mode promotion lottery, so that it becomes easy to win the specific role and the mode is easily promoted. That is, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) at this time is a state where the promotion of the mode is accelerated.

In the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), if the player is promoted to “Mode 6” by the mode promotion lottery before the end condition of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is satisfied, the bonus game state remains in the CZ state. To do.
In the CZ state, a point lottery is performed.
In addition, since the point lottery in this CZ state is a bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the winning probability of the specific role that triggers the point lottery is high, so it is easy to win the specific role and earn points. It becomes easy. That is, the bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4) at this time is a state where the point addition is accelerated.

  In the CZ state, if a predetermined number of points is acquired by point lottery before the end condition of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is satisfied, a damage lottery that can be executed in the AT state in the bonus game state is performed. Is called.

Since the bonus game state when the predetermined number of points is acquired is the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), the winning probability of the role that triggers the point lottery is high. It becomes easier and damages enemy characters. That is, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) at this time is a state where the application of damage is accelerated.
Thereafter, the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4) is completed by satisfying the termination condition of the bonus game state (BB3 or BB4), and the state shifts to the AT state.
In the AT state, the damage lottery is continued in the AT preparation state and the ART state.

  That is, as in this example, in the early stage of the game, for example, in the normal state of the non-permitted section, when the normal gaming state can be shifted to the bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4), in the bonus gaming state (BB3 or BB4) It becomes easy to win the role that triggers the lottery for shifting to the AT state advantageous to the player, such as mode promotion lottery and point lottery, and as a result, it becomes easier to shift to the AT state.

(Description of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 18)
A general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S10, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a specified number of bets (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the role lottery is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

In step S12, it is determined whether or not the result of the winning lottery process performed in step S11 is “RBB3 winning” or “RBB4 winning”.
If it is determined that “RBB3 winning” or “RBB4 winning” is selected, the process proceeds to the next step S13. If it is not determined that “RBB3 winning” or “RBB4 winning”, the process goes to step S13. Without proceeding to step S14.

  In step S13, the gaming state is set to the bonus internal state. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S14.

  In step S14, rotation variation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 62 being rotated is operated by the main control board 200, the reel control means 220 causes the rotation of each rotation reel 62. The rotation is stopped. The push order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed on the main control board 200, It is read in the subsequent processing.

In addition, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 270 of the main control board 200 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control board 300. When the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S15.
In step S15, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub-control board 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S16.

In step S16, it is determined whether or not the symbol “RBB3” is stopped and displayed in the stop symbol determination process performed in step S15. If it is determined that the symbol “RBB3” is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to the next step S17.
In step S17, the game state is set to “BB3” from the next game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S20.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S16 that the symbol “RBB3” has been stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to the next step S18 to determine whether or not the symbol “RBB4” has been stopped and displayed. If it is determined that the symbol “RBB4” has been stopped, the process proceeds to the next step S19. If it is not determined that the symbol “RBB4” has been stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to step S20 without passing through step S19.
In step S19, the game state is set to “BB4” from the next game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S20.

  In step S20, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 230. Note that if the result of the determination is that payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Explanation of the flow of the first lottery, the second lottery, the third lottery)
An example of the flow of the first lottery (mode lottery), the second lottery (point lottery), and the third lottery (damage lottery) performed during the permitted section will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step S30, it is determined whether or not it is in the permitted section. If it is not determined that it is in the permitted section, the process is terminated.

If it is determined that it is in the permitted section, the process proceeds to the next step S31.
In step S31, it is determined whether or not the permitted section is in a normal state. If it is determined that the permitted section is in the normal state, the process proceeds to the next step S32.
In step S32, when the specific combination (watermelon combination, cherry combination, chance combination) is won in the combination lottery process performed in step S11 of FIG. 18, a mode lottery which is an example of the first lottery is performed. Here, the mode lottery means a mode promotion lottery, but is not limited to this, and a mode demotion lottery may be performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S33.

  In step S33, it is determined whether or not the mode has been promoted to a specific mode value, for example, mode 6, by the mode lottery performed in step S32. If it is determined that the mode has been promoted to mode 6, whether the CZ state to be transferred is CZA or CZB is drawn, and the process proceeds to the next step S34. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the mode has been promoted to mode 6, the process ends.

  In step S34, the “CZ state”, that is, “CZA” or “CZB” corresponding to the lottery result of the transitioning CZ state performed in step S33 described above is set from the next game. Then, the process ends.

On the other hand, when it is not determined in the above-described step S31 that the permitted section is in the normal state, the process proceeds to the next step S35 to determine whether or not the CZ state is being performed. If it is determined that it is in the CZ state, the process proceeds to the next step S36.
In step S36, a point lottery is performed depending on whether the CZ state to be transferred performed in step S33 is CZA or CZB. That is, in the case of CZA, point addition lottery and point subtraction lottery are performed as point lottery, and in the case of CZB, only point addition lottery is performed. The number of points acquired by point lottery is accumulated and stored as the accumulated number of points. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S37.

In step S37, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number of points acquired by the point lottery performed in step S36 described above has reached a specified point value. If it is determined that the specified point value has been reached, the process proceeds to the next step S38. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the specified point value has been reached, the process proceeds to step S39 without passing through step S38.
In step S38, a process for confirming the transition to the AT state is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S39.

In step S39, it is determined whether or not the number of CZA and CZB games has been exhausted. If it is determined that the number of games has been consumed, the process proceeds to the next step S40. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the number of games has been consumed, the process ends.
In step S43, processing for ending the CZ state is performed in the current game. That is, in the above-described step S38, if the confirmation process for shifting to the AT state is performed, the process proceeds to the AT state. To do. Then, the process ends.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S35 described above that the current state is the CZ state, the process proceeds to the next step S41, where it is determined whether or not the current state is the AT state. If it is determined that the vehicle is in the AT state, the process proceeds to the next step S42. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the state is the AT state, the process ends.
In step S42, a damage lottery is performed. Here, the damage lottery means a damage addition lottery that causes damage to the enemy character, but is not limited to this, and a damage subtraction lottery that recovers the remaining HP of the enemy character may be performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S43.

  In step S43, it is determined whether or not the damage acquired by the damage lottery performed in step S42 described above has reached the specified damage value, that is, whether or not the remaining HP of the enemy character has become zero. If it is determined that the prescribed damage value has been reached, the process proceeds to the next step S44. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the specified damage value has been reached, the process proceeds to step S45 without passing through step S44.

In step S44, the continuation of the AT state is determined, and processing for acquiring the next set of AT states is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S45.
In step S45, it is determined whether or not the number of games in the AT state has been consumed. If it is determined that the number of games has been consumed, the process proceeds to the next step S46. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the number of games has been consumed, the process ends.

  In step S46, processing for ending the AT state in the current game is performed. That is, in the above-described step S44, if the next AT state set acquisition processing is performed, the process proceeds to the next set AT state, and if the next AT state set acquisition processing is not performed, the processing is not allowed. Transition to the normal state of the permitted section. Then, the process ends.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
This is different from the above-described first embodiment in that the permission section has a precursor state.
In addition, it demonstrates centering around a different part from 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and description is abbreviate | omitted or abbreviate | omitted about the overlapping part.

(Predictive state)
The sign state is selected in the lottery for transition to the predecessor state when the transition to the CZ state is confirmed when transitioning to the real sign state from the permitted section normal state, for example, the transition to the CZ state is confirmed. In this case, a transition is made to a sign effect, for example, an effect suggesting that the degree of expectation of transition to the CZ state or the AT state is high.
In the case of a real precursor state, the end condition of the real precursor state, for example, a predetermined number of games is used to shift to the CZ state, and in the case of a counterfeit precursor state, the end condition of the counterfeit precursor state, for example, a predetermined game By digesting the number, it returns to the permission section normal state.

Further, in the forgery precursor state, the above-described mode promotion lottery similar to the permitted section normal state is performed and the transition to the CZ state is confirmed. If you are promoted to, you are going to move to the real precursor state.
In addition, in the forgery precursor state, it is not limited to the mode promotion lottery, but when another lottery for shifting to the CZ state is performed, and it is determined that the transition to the CZ state is determined by the lottery, the genuine precursor state is entered. You may make it move.

(Supplementary explanation of the embodiment)
The first and second embodiments include feature points including the following technical idea.
(1) Feature point 1
(1-1) Configuration A gaming machine according to the present invention is capable of transitioning from a first state, a second state that can be transitioned from the first state, and from the second state, at least as compared to the first state. A third state that is advantageous to the player, and a fourth state that can be started during the first state, the second state, and the third state, and that is at least advantageous to the player than the first state. The second state is a state in which the transition to the third state is easier than the first state. In the first state, the first lottery for transitioning to the third state can be executed. Yes, in the second state, a second lottery for shifting to the third state can be executed, and in the third state, a third lottery for granting a privilege related to the third state is executed. If the fourth state is started during the first state, , Continuing the execution of the first lottery being executed, and continuing the execution of the second lottery being executed when the fourth state is started during the second state, When the fourth state is started during the three states, the execution of the third lottery being executed is continued, and the state is shifted from the first state to the second state while staying in the fourth state. In the case where the second lottery of the second state that has been transferred is performed, and when the second state is shifted from the second state to the third state while staying in the fourth state, the transferred The third lottery in the third state is executed.

(1-2) Correspondence Relationship between Definition of Terms and Embodiments Here, “first state” is a state excluding “second state” and “third state”, and is a normal state that is normally performed ( In the case of providing a non-permitted section and a permitted section, a permitted section normal state) is included, but is not limited thereto.
The “second state” includes a state such as a CZ state (chance zone state), but is not limited to this.
The “third state” includes, but is not limited to, an AT state (assist time state) and an ART state (assist replay time state).
The “fourth state” includes a bonus game state (particularly, BB3, BB4), but is not limited thereto.
“First lottery” includes, but is not limited to, mode promotion lottery.
“Second lottery” includes, but is not limited to, point lottery.
The “third lottery” includes a damage lottery, but is not limited to this.
The “privilege regarding the third state” includes, but is not limited to, continuing the third state and adding the period of the third state.

“When the fourth state is started during the first state” means, for example, when the game of the fourth state is started from the game after the final game of the first state, and for example, the final game of the first state There is a case where the game in the fourth state is started from the next game through a specific game state (specifically, the fourth state internal state).
Similarly, “when the fourth state is started during the second state” means, for example, when the game in the fourth state is started from the game after the final game in the second state, for example, in the second state. There is a case where a game in the fourth state is started from a game after the last game through a specific game state (specifically, the fourth state internal state).
