Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a spinning machine or other slot machine.

  Conventionally, a gaming machine such as a slot machine is provided with a normal state in which a normal game is played and an AT state in which an AT game that is more advantageous to the player than a normal game is provided. When the AT lottery for determining whether or not the transition to the state is possible is performed and the AT lottery is won, the effect state is shifted from the normal state to the AT preparation state and then shifted to the AT state (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP2015-147114A

  However, since the conventional gaming machine is configured to shift to the AT state based on the fact that the predetermined role is won in the AT ready state, by not winning the predetermined role in the AT ready state, There is a problem that the staying period of the player becomes longer, delaying the transition to the AT state occurs, and the player's willingness to play is reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing a decrease in gaming motivation.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the first invention is based on the fact that the specific condition is satisfied in the first state, and the second state is more advantageous to the player than the first state by terminating the first state. Transition means for transitioning to a state, and granting means capable of granting a privilege according to the stay period of the first state, the granting means in the first state from the stay of the first state for a predetermined period The privilege is granted based on the elapse of time, and the privilege is additionally granted based on the elapse of a period shorter than the predetermined period after the elapse of the predetermined period.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the second invention provides a right granting unit for granting a right to execute a bonus processing related to a game in the first state, and an execution unit for executing the bonus processing based on the right. And transition means for ending the first state based on the fact that the specific condition is established in the first state and shifting to a second state that is more advantageous to the player than the first state, and in the first state Special game granting means for granting a special game that can be executed in the second state based on the granting of the right, and the right granting means in the first state The right is granted based on the elapse of a predetermined period from the stay, the right is additionally granted based on the elapse of a period shorter than the predetermined period after the elapse of the predetermined period, and the execution means The special game And executes the processing of the benefits based on the execution of the granted the special game by given means.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the third invention maintains the first state until the specific condition is satisfied in the first state, and terminates the first state based on the satisfaction of the specific condition. A gaming machine that shifts to a second state different from the first state and performs an advantageous game advantageous to a player in the second state, and grants a right to execute a privilege processing related to the game in the first state Means for executing the processing of the privilege in the second state, and the granting unit is based on the fact that a predetermined period has elapsed since the stay in the first state in the first state. A right is granted, the right is additionally granted based on the fact that a period shorter than the predetermined period has passed after the elapse of the predetermined period, and the execution means is configured to grant the right granted in the first state. 1st privilege can be granted based on And wherein the determining both whether the first award different second privilege granted.

  According to the first to third inventions, the benefit is granted based on the fact that the stay period in the first state has passed the predetermined period, and therefore there is a delay in transition to the second state that is more advantageous to the player than the first state. It is possible to prevent a decrease in gaming motivation due to the occurrence.

  In particular, in the first to third inventions, when a period shorter than the predetermined period has elapsed after the elapse of the predetermined period in the first state, an additional privilege is additionally provided. In other words, after the first privilege is granted in the first state, it is configured to give an additional privilege over a shorter period of time than the first privilege is granted. It becomes possible to give a player a privilege that exceeds disadvantages, and the motivation for gaming can be improved.

  Each reel 5-7 is comprised as one reel unit, and rotates by the drive of a stepping motor (illustration omitted), respectively. In a state where the reels 5 to 7 are stopped, three consecutive symbols (hereinafter referred to as an upper symbol, a middle symbol, and a lower symbol, respectively) arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each of the reels 5 to 7 are displayed on the display window 4. The player can view a total of nine symbols arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns.

  The display window 4 is provided with an upper stop position, an intermediate stop position, and a lower stop position at which the upper symbols, middle symbols, and lower symbols of the reels 5 to 7 are stopped. Each combined effective line is set. Specifically, the effective line L includes combinations of stop positions of the middle stage of the left reel 5, the middle stage of the middle reel 6, and the middle stage of the right reel 7.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a left symbol row 5a is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the left reel 5, a middle symbol row 6a is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the middle reel 6, and a right symbol row 7a is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the right reel 7. The symbol rows 5a to 7a are each divided into 20 equal areas (20 frames). One symbol is arranged in each area of the symbol row, and symbol numbers 0 to 19 are associated with each symbol.

  In each of the symbol rows 5a to 7a, a total of ten symbols of white BAR, red 7, black BAR, watermelon 1, watermelon 2, replay, bell, star, piece and cherry are arranged. Pre-associated roles are provided.

  The winning combination includes a re-playing role that enables the next game regardless of the insertion of a prescribed number of medals, a small role that allows a predetermined number of medals to be paid out to the player, and an RBB role that triggers a transition to the RBB operation described later. It is divided roughly into. The combination will be described in detail later.

  Next, each control processing unit constituting the slot machine S will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control processing unit 100 is provided inside the housing 1 and includes a main CPU, a main ROM, and a main RAM. The main control processing unit 100 includes an insertion medal sensor 8a for detecting the passage of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 8, reels 5-7, start lever 9, stop buttons 10-12, main monitor 13, and other devices. (Not shown) is connected.

  The main CPU executes a program stored in the main ROM based on the input of a signal from each device connected to the main control processing unit 100 or a signal from a timer counter (not shown) to the main control processing unit 100. Various processes are read out and commands are transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 according to the results of the processes. The main RAM functions as a data work area during processing of the main CPU.

  In the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100, the start lever enabling means 101 for enabling the operation of the start lever 9 by inserting a prescribed number of medals, and whether or not the winning combination is determined based on the operation of the start lever 9 that has been enabled. Internal lottery means 102 determined by internal lottery, winning flag control means 103 for establishing a winning flag determined by internal lottery, reel control means 104 for controlling rotation and stop of each reel 5-7, and results of internal lottery And a medal payout means 105 for paying out medals according to the stop mode of the reels, a re-game that allows the next game to be started without depending on the result of the internal lottery and the insertion of a prescribed number of medals according to the stop mode of the reels. Re-game setting means 106 for setting, gaming state control means 107 for controlling the gaming state, main monitor for controlling display on the main monitor 13 Control means 108, presentation mode control means 110 for controlling the presentation mode is constructed.

  The sub-control processing unit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and controls the execution of each effect performed mainly during the game. The sub control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub control processing unit 200.

  The sub CPU reads out the program stored in the sub ROM based on the command transmitted from the main control processing unit 100 and performs arithmetic processing, and based on the processing, the lamp 14, the pair of speakers 15, the sub monitor Control the production device such as 16. The sub-RAM functions as a data work area when the sub-CPU performs arithmetic processing.

  In the sub-ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200, an effect mode transition unit 201 for shifting the effect mode based on an instruction from the main control processing unit 100, an effect determination unit 202 for determining the effect, and the determined effect on the sub-monitor 16 or the like An effect execution means 203 that is executed by the apparatus is constructed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state is roughly divided into a normal state, an RBB inside, and an RBB operation according to the winning probability of the small role, and the winning probability of the small role is about 1 in the normal state and the RBB. It is set to / 7, and is set to about 1 / 1.1 by the RBB operation. As will be described in detail later, based on the winning of the RBB combination in the normal state, the gaming state shifts from the normal state to the RBB operation via the inside of the RBB.

  The normal state is classified into non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3 according to the winning probability of the re-gamer, and the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 7.3 for the non-RT and RT1. , RT2 and RT3 are set to about ½. The re-gamer includes a re-gamer having a game state transition function, and the game state transitions between non-RT to RT3 based on the winning of the re-gamer (details will be described later).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the effect mode includes a non-AT mode in which a normal game is performed, an AT mode in which an AT game advantageous to the player over a normal game is performed, and an AT preparation in which preparation for transition to the AT mode is performed. It is roughly divided into modes. An AT game refers to a game in which the operation sequence of stop buttons is displayed on the main monitor 13 and the sub monitor 16 to facilitate the acquisition of medals. Note that AT games that are played in RT2 and RT3 in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is high (about 1/2) are also referred to as ART games.

  The AT mode is classified into five types, that is, a normal AT mode, a special AT mode, a CZ mode, a first special mode, and a second special mode, based on a privilege provision viewpoint. The normal AT mode is an effect mode corresponding to an initial state in the AT mode, and is an effect mode with a low expected value for granting a privilege. The special AT mode is an effect mode that can be shifted only after the end of the normal AT mode, and is an effect mode that is a premise for shifting to the first special mode or the CZ mode in which an expected value of privilege provision is high. The second specialized mode is an effect mode that can be shifted only from the CZ mode, and is an effect mode in which the expected value of privilege provision is higher than that in the CZ mode.

  As described above, the AT mode includes five types of effect modes with different privilege grant expectation values. Different images are displayed on the sub-monitor 16 for each type of effect mode, and the expectation value for privilege acquisition is determined by the game. Make it possible for the person to distinguish. In order to increase the expected value for granting the privilege by shifting the effect mode from the normal AT mode to the first special mode or the CZ mode, first, after the normal AT mode ends, the effect mode is shifted to the special AT mode. There is a need.

  In the first embodiment, in order to shift the effect mode from the normal AT mode to the special AT mode, the remaining number of games that can be executed in the normal AT mode (hereinafter referred to as the normal AT number) is “1”. It is necessary to acquire the right (hereinafter referred to as a privilege counter) to execute privilege processing related to the provision of privilege before the end of the normal AT mode. If the privilege counter has been acquired before the end of the normal AT mode, the effect mode is shifted from the normal AT mode to the special AT mode, and the privilege processing is executed in the special AT mode. On the other hand, when the privilege counter has not been acquired before the end of the normal AT mode, the AT mode is ended and the effect mode is shifted to the non-AT mode. In other words, the privilege counter shifts the production mode from the normal AT mode to the special AT mode and promises (reserves) execution of the privilege processing in the special AT mode. It is given to the person. Then, according to the result of the privilege processing performed based on the privilege counter, the production mode is shifted from the special AT mode to the first specialized mode or the CZ mode, and the normal AT number is added (hereinafter referred to as “addition” as appropriate). ")." This will be described in detail later.

  First, each means constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

  The start lever validation means 101 validates the operation of the start lever 9 by inserting three (specified number) medals in the normal state, the inside of the RBB, and all gaming states of RBB operation.

  The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number for internal lottery at the timing of the activated start lever 9 (hereinafter referred to as a game start operation), and uses the acquired random number and the current game state type. Based on the winning area “Replay” associated with the re-playing role, the winning area “Bell” associated with the small role, and the winning area “RBB” associated with the RBB role. One winning area is determined from the inside. The winning area will be described later in detail.

  When the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in the current game is the winning flag for the small role or the replaying role, the winning flag control means 103 sets the winning flag for the next time. In order not to carry over to the game, if it is set to OFF before the start of the next game and the winning flag is related to the RBB role, the winning combination is displayed until the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB role is displayed on the active line L Carry over the flag.

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of the reels 5 to 7 at the same time based on the game start operation, accelerates the rotation of the reels until the reels 5 to 7 reach a steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute), When each reel reaches the steady rotation, the rotation speed is maintained and the operation of all the stop buttons 10 to 12 is validated.

  Further, the reel control means 104 stops the rotation of the corresponding reel in accordance with the activated operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12. Specifically, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms after the stop operation of each of the stop buttons 10 to 12. Here, the constant speed of each reel is about 80 times / minute. For this reason, the time required for each reel to make one rotation under a constant rotational speed is 60 s / about 80 times≈about 750 ms, and the time required for one symbol to move by one frame (one area) is 750 ms. / 20 design = 37.5 ms. Therefore, each reel 5 to 7 has a maximum of 4 symbols (4 frames) from the stop operation timing of the corresponding stop button (5 frames including the symbols displayed on the active line at the timing of pressing the stop button). It becomes possible to rotate ((190 ms / 37.5 ms) -1 symbol≈4 symbols).

  The reel control means 104, according to the established state of the winning flag, the number priority control for stopping the reel so as to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination with the largest number of medal payouts on the effective line L, the symbol combination Number priority control that stops reels so that the symbol combination corresponding to the combination with the largest number is preferentially displayed on the active line L, and the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing combination and the small combination is more effective than the RBB combination. A logic operation for searching for a symbol having the highest pull-in priority by the control of any of the priority priority controls for stopping the reel so as to display on the line L, and / or a stop control table (stored in the main ROM in advance) Based on the reference (not shown), the symbol with the highest priority among the symbol combinations related to the winning combination corresponding to the established winning flag is the effective line. Pull to display on, and the symbol combination associated with the role of the winning flag other than winning flag is established kicking not to display the activated line L, stopping the reel corresponding to the stop button.

  The medal payout unit 105 displays a predetermined number of medals previously associated with the small role when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is displayed on the active line L (hereinafter referred to as “the small role has won”). Pay out.

  The re-game setting means 106 inserts a prescribed number of medals when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player is displayed on the active line L (hereinafter referred to as “re-game player has won a prize” as appropriate). A re-game is set that enables the next game without depending on it.

  The gaming state control means 107 controls the transition of the gaming state between the normal state, the inside of the RBB, and the RBB operation. Below, transition of a combination, a winning area, and a gaming state will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 is the operating order of the stop buttons 10 to 12, and the hitting order 1 is the order of the left stop button 10 → the middle stop button 11 → the right stop button 12, the same as this. Strike order 2 is left → right → middle order, Strike order 3 is middle → left → right order, Strike order 4 is middle → right → left order, Strike order 5 is right → left → middle order, Strike order 6 is right → Middle → Left order.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a plurality of types of winning areas include “unwinning” in which no combination is associated, “replay” in which replaying roles (REP 1 to 12) are associated, and small roles ( NML 1 to 16), which are associated with each other, and “RBB” which is associated with the RBB role.

  As shown in FIG. 7, RBBs (Nos. 44 to 50) are “RBB 1” in which RBB roles are independently associated with each other, and “RBB 2” in which RBB roles are associated with other roles in duplicate. It is classified into “RBB7”.

  The RBB is subject to internal lottery in the normal state (non-RT, RT1 to 3), and as shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state is transferred to the RBB based on the RBB winning in the normal state (FIG. 9). A). At this time, when RBB1 is won, the winning flag relating to the RBB combination is established alone, and the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination (hereinafter referred to as RBB symbol combination) is displayed on the active line L. When the stop button is operated in such a manner that the RBB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state is shifted to the RBB operation (B in FIG. 9). On the other hand, when one of the RBBs 2 to 7 is won, the winning flags relating to the RBB role and other roles are duplicated and the other role than the RBB role is assigned by the role priority control. Prioritize, the reels 5 to 7 are stopped so that other winning combinations can be won, and the gaming state is maintained inside the RBB. When the number of medals paid out exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 216) in the RBB operation, the gaming state is shifted from the RBB operation to non-RT (C in FIG. 9).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the replays (No. 1 to No. 28) are “RT2 Lip” and “RT3 Lip” having a game state transition function, “Rare Lip” having a privilege counter grant function, and a privilege counter grant function. It is classified into “white BAR”, “normal lip”, and “7 lip”.

  RT2 lips (No. 1 to No. 6) include RT2 lips 1 to 6, and these RT2 lips 1 to 6 are associated with re-games such as REP 3. RT2 Lip is subject to internal lottery at RT1, and the symbol combination corresponding to REP3 is displayed on the effective line L according to the stop button stroke order at the time of RT2 Lip winning, and REP3 is won and REP3 is won. Based on this, the gaming state is shifted to RT2.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when RT1 wins RT2 Lip 1 at RT1, REP3 is won based on the stop operation of batting order 1 and the gaming state is shifted to RT2 (E in FIG. 9), batting orders 2-6 Based on this stop operation, REP5 other than REP3 is awarded and the gaming state is maintained at RT1.

  The RT3 lips (No. 7 to No. 12) include RT3 lips 1 to 6, and these RT3 lips 1 to 6 are associated with re-games such as REP4. RT3 lip is subject to internal lottery at RT2 and RT3, and the symbol combination corresponding to REP4 is displayed on the effective line L according to the striking order of the stop button at the time of RT3 lip winning, and REP4 is won. Based on the winning, the gaming state is transferred (maintained) to RT3.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when RT3 Lip 1 is won in RT2, REP4 is won based on the stop operation in batting order 1 to shift the gaming state to RT3 (F in FIG. 9), and batting orders 2-6 Based on the stop operation, REP1 is won to shift the gaming state to RT1 (G in FIG. 9). Also, when RT3 Lip 1 is won at RT3, REP4 is won based on the stop operation of batting order 1 and the gaming state is maintained at RT3, and REP1 is won based on the stopping operation of batting orders 2 to 6 and the gaming state Is shifted to RT1 ((H in FIG. 9)).

  In the present embodiment example, when the production mode is staying in the AT preparation mode, the production related to the batting order for transitioning the gaming state to RT2 in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about ½ ( Hereinafter, it is referred to as a batting order effect) on the sub monitor 16 or the like. Specifically, a batting order effect is executed to shift the gaming state to RT2 when winning the RT2 lip having the function of shifting to RT2 in the AT preparation mode. For example, if RT2 Lip 1 is won while staying in the AT preparation mode in RT1, the batting order effect related to batting order 1 is executed, and REP3 is won based on the stopping operation of batting order 1 to shift the gaming state from RT1 to RT2. . At this time, based on the fact that the gaming state has shifted from RT1 to RT2, the effect mode is shifted from the non-AT mode to the AT mode.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the production mode is staying in the AT mode, the batting order that does not shift the gaming state to RT1 in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 7.3. The production is executed on the sub monitor 16 or the like. For example, in the case of staying at RT2 in the AT mode, if RT3 Lip 1 is won, the batting order effect related to batting order 1 for maintaining the gaming state at RT2 is executed on the sub-monitor 16 or the like, and the stop button is pressed at batting order 1. When operated, REP4 is won and the gaming state is maintained at RT2.

  As described above, in the AT preparation mode, the batting order effect is executed by winning the RT2 lip having the function of shifting to RT2, and the effect mode is shifted from the AT preparation mode to the AT mode by operating the stop button according to the batting order effect. It is configured. For this reason, in the AT preparation mode, the RT2 lip unsuccessful is an AT advantageous to the player by maintaining the gaming state at RT1 in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 7.3, which is a low probability. This may be a factor that delays the transition to the mode and may cause the player to consume medals due to an increase in the number of games in the AT preparation mode, resulting in a loss. Therefore, in this embodiment, as will be described later, a relief device is provided for a loss to the player that occurs due to a delay in shifting to the AT mode.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the rare lip (No. 13 to No. 15) includes white BAR aligned 1, white BAR aligned 2, and chance lip. The white BARs 1 and 2 are subject to internal lottery at RT3, and the chance lip is subject to internal lottery in all non-RT to RT3.

  In the present embodiment example, a privilege counter that reserves execution of privilege processing can be acquired based on the winning of rare lip (white BAR alignment, chance lip) in AT mode (CZ mode, second specialization mode). (See FIG. 13). For this reason, the winning of the rare lip can give the player a sense of expectation for the acquisition of the privilege counter. In addition, the winning probability of the rare lip is set to be lower than the winning probability of the other winning areas associated with the re-gamer.

  REPs 4 to 6 and 10 to 12 are associated with white BAR line 1 (No. 13) in an overlapping manner. Among the re-games associated with the white BAR line 1, REP6 includes a lower stop position of the left reel 5, a middle stop position of the middle reel 6, and an upper stop of the right reel 7, as shown in FIGS. In a mode in which “white BAR symbol” is displayed at each position (hereinafter referred to as a first white BAR uniform mode), symbol combinations in which the reels 5 to 7 are stopped are associated (FIG. 8A). ). Further, in the REP 10 associated with the white BAR alignment 1, “white BAR symbols” are displayed at the upper stop position of the left reel 5, the middle stop position of the middle reel 6, and the lower stop position of the right reel 7, respectively. Symbol combinations in which the reels 5 to 7 are stopped in an aspect (hereinafter, referred to as a second white BAR uniform aspect) are associated (FIG. 8 (2)).

  In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 or 2 when the white BAR uniform 1 is won in RT3, REP10 is given priority over other re-game players. When the stop button is operated in the batting order 3 or 4, the REP 6 is won with priority over other re-game players. In other words, when the stop button is operated in any of the batting orders 1 to 4 when winning the white BAR set 1 that can be obtained by the privilege counter, a REP6 or REP10 is awarded and a characteristic and strong impression to the player The reels 5 to 7 are stopped in the first white BAR aligned mode (FIG. 8 (1)) or the second white BAR aligned mode (FIG. 8 (2)). For this reason, the 1st white BAR uniform aspect and the 2nd white BAR uniform aspect can give a player the expectation with respect to acquisition of a privilege counter.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the white BAR uniform 2 (No. 14) includes a plurality of types including REP6 in which the reel stops in the first white BAR aligned mode and REP10 in which the reel stops in the second white BAR aligned mode. Are re-matched with each other. When the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 or 2 when the white BAR match 2 is won at RT3, the REP6 is preferentially won over the other replaying players and the reels 5 to 7 are assigned to the first. When the white BAR is stopped and the stop button is operated in the batting orders 3 and 4, the REP 10 is preferentially won over the other replaying players and the reels 5 to 7 are aligned with the second white BAR. Stop at. Therefore, similarly to the case where the white BAR uniform 1 is won, the reels 5 to 7 are arranged in the first white BAR aligned mode or the second white according to the batting order at the time of winning the white BAR uniform 2 that can be acquired by the privilege counter. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for acquiring the privilege counter by stopping the BAR in a uniform manner.

  The white BAR accent (No. 16) is a winning area that does not have a privilege counter granting function, and the white BAR accent is associated with REP4 to 6, 8, and 11 in an overlapping manner. Among the re-playing players associated with the white BAR, the REP 11 has a “white BAR symbol” in each of the upper stop position of the left reel 5 and the lower stop position of the right reel 7 as shown in FIGS. Is displayed, but the symbol combination in which each of the reels 5 to 7 stops in a mode in which the “white BAR symbol” is not displayed at any of the stop positions of the middle reel 6 (hereinafter, referred to as a first white BAR ringing mode) ( 8 (3)) and the “white BAR symbol” are displayed at the lower stop position of the left reel 5 and the lower stop position of the right reel 7, respectively, and “white BAR” is displayed at any of the stop positions of the middle reel 6. A symbol combination (FIG. 8 (3)) in which the reels 5 to 7 are stopped is associated with a mode in which “symbol” is not displayed (hereinafter referred to as a second white BAR rolling mode).

  In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 or 2 during the winning of the white BAR in RT3, the REP 11 is preferentially won over other re-game players. When the reels 5 to 7 are stopped in a white BAR rolling mode (first and second white BAR rolling mode), and the stop button is operated in the batting order 3 to 6, REP5 is given priority over other replaying players. To win. That is, in the white BAR curling mode, a white BAR symbol is displayed at each of the stop positions of the left reel 5 and the right reel 7, and the white BAR symbol becomes a so-called temper, but three white BAR symbols are aligned in a straight line. This is a reel stop mode without any. For this reason, the white BAR curling mode in which the privilege counter cannot be acquired appears as if the reels are stopped in the white BAR aligned mode (first and second white BAR aligned mode) in which the privilege counter can be acquired. We can expect the expectation for the acquisition of the counter.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the bells (Nos. 19 to 43) pay out 9 medals regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, and are related to the operation mode of the stop button. It is divided into “7 bells” that pays out 7 medals, “batting order bell” that can pay out medals according to the operation mode of the stop button, and “rare small role” that triggers the acquisition of a privilege counter.

  In the batting order bells (Nos. 22 to 39), NML1 and NML2 (hereinafter referred to as “7-pieces”) having 7 paid out medals and NML9 (hereinafter referred to as 1-piece) having 1 medals are paid out. Are associated with each other (FIGS. 5 and 7).

  In the first embodiment, when staying in the AT mode in the normal state, the batting order effect related to the batting order that assists the winning of the 7-sheet combination when the batting order bell is won is executed on the sub-monitor 16 or the like, while the non-AT When staying in the mode, the sub monitor 16 or the like is controlled so as not to execute the batting order effect. As described above, by operating the stop button according to the batting order effect in the AT mode, the medal can be easily acquired in the AT mode.

  For example, in the case of staying in the AT mode in the normal state, if the batting order bell 1 (No. 22) is won, the batting order effect related to the batting order 1 assisting the winning of 7 sheets is executed. When the stop button is operated, 7 winning combinations are won and 7 medals are paid out. On the other hand, when staying in the non-AT mode, even if the batting order bell 1 is won, the batting order effect is not executed, and when the stop button is operated in the batting order 1, 7 winning combinations are awarded. When the medals are paid out and the stop button is operated in the batting order 2, the player wins one piece and pays out one medal. When the stop button is operated in the batting orders 3 to 6, the stop button is operated. In accordance with the operation timing, one winning combination is won with a probability of 1/2, and one medal is paid out, and the remaining 7% winning combination is a non-winning prize with a probability of 1/2. Let At this time, when any small combination is not won, each symbol combination associated with BLK shown in FIG. 4 (hereinafter referred to as “BLK symbol combination”) is displayed on the active line L. The reel is stopped, and based on this, the gaming state is shifted from non-RT to RT1 (D in FIG. 9), RT2 to RT1 (G in FIG. 9), and RT3 to RT1 (H in FIG. 9).

  Rare small roles (Nos. 40 to 43) include Cherry 1, Watermelon, Cherry 2 and Strong Rare. Rare small roles are subject to internal lottery in all gaming states except RBB operation. .

  In the first embodiment, a privilege counter can be acquired based on the winning of a rare small combination in the AT mode (CZ mode, second specialized mode) (see FIG. 13). For this reason, the winning of the rare small role can give the player a sense of expectation for the acquisition of the privilege counter. Note that the winning probability of the rare small role is set to be lower than the winning probability of the other winning areas associated with the small role.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the main monitor control means 108 controls to display information related to the hit order of the stop button corresponding to the hit order effect on the main monitor 13 when the hit order effect is executed on the sub monitor 16 or the like.

  Next, before describing the effect mode control means 110 for controlling the effect mode, an outline of the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG.

  Generally, when the player sits in front of the slot machine S and starts playing, the effect mode stays in the non-AT mode. Based on the fact that the AT lottery is won in the non-AT mode, the effect mode is shifted to the AT preparation mode (A in FIG. 10).

  In the first embodiment, one privilege counter (right to execute privilege processing) is always given based on the fact that the AT lottery is won in the non-AT mode. That is, one privilege counter is assigned based on the first transition from the non-AT mode to the AT mode. The privilege counter is cumulatively stored in the game information storage area 140 constructed in the main RAM of the main control processing unit 100.

  In the privilege counter, three types of privilege counters are provided: a privilege counter A with a low privilege grant rate in privilege processing, a privilege counter B with a normal privilege grant rate, and a privilege counter C with a high privilege rate. (See FIG. 12). In the first embodiment, the privilege counter A is given by winning the AT lottery in the non-AT mode.

  In the AT preparation mode, a batting order effect for shifting to RT2 is executed based on the winning of RT2 Lip, and when the stop button is operated according to the batting order effect, REP3 is won and the gaming state is shifted to RT2. . Then, based on the fact that the gaming state has shifted to RT2 in the AT preparation mode, the effect mode is shifted from the AT preparation mode to the normal AT mode (B in FIG. 10). At this time, the number of games that can be executed in the normal AT mode (normal AT number) is determined to be a predetermined number (for example, 30 times).

  In the first embodiment, as described above, a relief device is provided for a delay in transition from the AT preparation mode to the AT mode. Specifically, when the number of games in the AT preparation mode (hereinafter referred to as the number of AT preparations) has passed 40, one privilege counter is given, and the number of AT preparations is 50, 60, 70,. -Each time 10 games are played in the AT preparation mode after the number of times of AT preparation has passed 40 times, one privilege counter is additionally given.

  In the normal AT mode, “1” is subtracted from the normal AT number every time a game is played. Then, when the normal AT count becomes “0”, the normal AT mode is terminated.

  In the first embodiment, at the end of the normal AT mode, the transition destination effect mode is different depending on whether or not a privilege counter is stored in the game information storage area 140. Specifically, when a privilege counter is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the normal AT mode, one privilege counter is extracted and the effect mode is shifted to the special AT mode (FIG. 10). C) When the privilege counter is not stored, the effect mode is shifted to the non-AT mode (N in FIG. 10).

  The special AT mode is an effect mode in which privilege processing is executed based on a privilege counter extracted from the game information storage area 140 at the end of the normal AT mode. The privilege process is performed in the final game in the special AT mode, and the result of the privilege process is notified by a production device such as the sub monitor 16.

  In the first embodiment, the number of games that can be executed in the special AT mode (hereinafter referred to as the special AT number) is set to “10” in advance, and from the number of special ATs after the game is performed in the special AT mode. 1 is subtracted. Based on the type of privilege counter extracted in advance at the end of the normal AT mode at the start of the game with the remaining number of special ATs, that is, at the start of the final game in the special AT mode, A lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of games that can be executed in the AT mode (normal number of ATs) (hereinafter referred to as an extra lottery), and a CZ mode or a first specialized mode with a high expected value for granting a privilege It is configured to execute both of the lottery (hereinafter referred to as advantageous AT shift lottery) for determining whether or not to transfer.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, when the privilege counter is acquired (held, owned) before the end of the normal AT mode, the effect mode is shifted to the special AT mode, and the special AT mode is set. A bonus lottery (additional lottery, advantageous AT shift lottery) is executed in the final game (details will be described later).

  In the CZ mode and the first special mode that can be transferred after the special AT mode is completed, it is possible to acquire a bonus counter or increase the number of normal ATs based on winning of the white BAR uniform (No. 13 and No. 14) It is said. As described above, this white BAR set is a target of internal lottery only by RT3, and is excluded from a target of internal lottery in other game states. In the special AT mode, which is a premise for the transition to the CZ mode and the first special mode, the gaming state generally stays at RT2. For this reason, in order to make white BAR alignment the target of internal lottery in the CZ mode and the first special mode, the gaming state is changed from RT2 to RT3 before the production mode is changed to the CZ mode or the first special mode. It is necessary to let Therefore, in the first embodiment, based on the fact that the production mode is changed to the CZ preparation mode (not shown) before changing from the special AT mode to the CZ mode, and the gaming state is changed to RT3 in the CZ preparation mode. The effect mode is shifted to the CZ mode (G in FIG. 10). Similarly, before the production mode is changed from the special AT mode to the first special mode, the first special preparation mode (not shown) is changed, and the gaming state is changed to RT3 in the first special preparation mode. Based on this, the production mode is shifted to the first specialization mode (E in FIG. 10).

  Specifically, in the privilege process performed in the final game of the special AT mode, when the transition to the CZ mode is determined, the special AT mode is finished and then the CZ preparation mode is transitioned to the RT3 in the CZ preparation mode. When the RT3 lip (No. 7 to 12) having the transition function is won, the batting order effect for winning REP4 associated with the RT3 lip is executed, and the gaming state is set to RT3 based on the winning of REP4 Based on the transition to RT3, the effect mode is transitioned from the CZ preparation mode to the CZ mode. Similarly, when the transition to the first special mode is determined, when the special special mode is finished, the first special preparation mode is entered and the RT3 Lip is won in the first special preparation mode. The batting order effect for winning REP4 is executed, the game state is shifted to RT3 based on the winning of REP4, and the effect mode is switched from the first special preparation mode to the first special mode based on the transition to RT3 Let

  The first specialized mode is an effect mode having the highest expected value for addition (addition) of the normal AT number in the AT mode. In the first special mode, with reference to the extra lottery table dedicated to the first special mode (FIG. 11), the extra lottery is executed every time the game is executed.

  The winning probability of the extra lottery in the first special mode is configured to be different depending on the result of the internal lottery. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the normal AT number is always added in the winning of the white BAR uniform (No. 13 and No. 14) (FIG. 11 (b)), the rare small role (No. 40 to 43) and Although it is possible to increase the number of normal ATs by winning such as Chance Lip (No. 15) (FIGS. 11 (a) and (d)), it is possible to increase the number of normal ATs by winning white BAR (No. 16). No (FIG. 11 (c)). In the first special mode, the order in which the reels stop in the white BAR aligned mode is notified based on the winning of the white BAR aligned mode, and the stop button is operated in accordance with the hit order, so that the reels are aligned in the white BAR mode. Stopped.

  In the first specialization mode, the number of games that can be executed in the first specialization mode (hereinafter referred to as the first specialization number) is set to “5” in advance, and the first specialization is performed every time the game is executed. “1” is subtracted from the number of times. Then, when the first specialization count becomes “0”, the first specialization mode specialized for the addition is terminated and the normal AT mode in the initial state is shifted again (F in FIG. 10). However, the current first specialization number is not subtracted from the first specialization number, only when a white BAR in which the normal AT number is not added in the first special mode is won. Is configured to maintain.

  The CZ mode is an effect mode in which a privilege counter can be acquired. In the CZ mode, whether or not a privilege counter can be granted is determined by a privilege counter lottery based on the result of the internal lottery.

  Also, in the CZ mode, whether or not to shift to the second special mode, which is more specialized in acquiring the privilege counter than in the CZ mode, is determined in the second special transfer lottery, and the second special transfer lottery is won. In this case, the effect mode is shifted from the CZ mode to the second special mode (K in FIG. 10). When the number of games that can be executed in the second special mode (hereinafter referred to as the second special number) becomes “0”, the effect mode is shifted from the second special mode to the normal AT mode (FIG. 10). M).

  In the first embodiment, the CZ mode is classified into a normal CZ mode and a special CZ mode from the viewpoint of ease of transition to the second special mode. At the beginning of the transition from the special AT mode to the CZ mode, the production mode stays in the normal CZ mode, and in this normal CZ mode, the special CZ mode transition lottery that determines whether or not the transition to the special CZ mode is possible based on the result of the internal lottery Is done. When the special CZ mode transition lottery is won, the effect mode is shifted to the special CZ mode in which the transition to the second special mode is easier than the normal CZ mode (J in FIG. 10).

  As described above, the slot machine S according to the first embodiment acquires the privilege counter in the AT preparation mode, the AT mode, and the like, and based on the acquired privilege counter, the first feature specialized for adding the normal number of ATs. Game mode with the aim of prolonging the stay period of AT mode and acquiring many medals by shifting to the CZ mode and the second special mode that can acquire bonus counters doing. The effect mode control means 110 for controlling the effect mode will be described below with reference to FIG.

  The effect mode control means 110 includes an AT lottery means 111 for determining whether or not the mode can be changed to the AT mode by an AT lottery, a game number counting means 112 for counting the number of games in each effect mode, and an effect mode for controlling the transition of the effect mode. The transfer control means 113 and the privilege process means 120 which performs the privilege process regarding provision of a privilege counter are provided.

  As a result of the internal lottery in the non-AT mode, the AT lottery means 111 performs a specific continuous performance in a certain period in which a predetermined number of games (for example, 120 times) are continuously performed in the non-AT mode or in the non-AT mode. The AT lottery is executed in response to being executed.

  The number-of-games counting means 112 includes the number of games in the non-AT mode, the number of games in the AT preparation mode (AT preparation number), the number of games in the normal AT mode (normal AT number), and the number of games in the special AT mode (special AT number), number of games in CZ mode (hereinafter referred to as CZ number), number of games in first special mode (first special number), number of games in second special mode (second special) Count).

  The effect mode transition control means 113 shifts the effect mode from the non-AT mode to the AT preparation mode based on the winning of the AT lottery. The effect mode transition control means 113 controls the transition of the effect mode in the AT mode based on the result of the privilege process (advantageous AT transition lottery) performed in the special AT mode, which will be described later.

  The privilege processing unit 120 includes a privilege counter extraction unit 121 that extracts a privilege counter from the game information storage area 140, a privilege counter table selection unit 122 that selects a privilege counter table according to the type of the extracted privilege counter, and a normal AT number An additional lottery means 123 for determining whether or not to add can be added by lottery, and an advantageous AT shift lottery means 124 for determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous AT mode (CZ mode, first special mode) by the advantageous AT transition lottery; A privilege counter lottery means 125 that determines whether or not a privilege counter can be granted by a privilege counter lottery, a privilege counter type determination means 126 that determines a privilege counter type based on the winning of the privilege counter lottery, and a privilege counter of the determined type Special counter 127 for granting a special feature and whether or not to shift to the special CZ mode Special CZ transition selecting means 128 for determining at CZ migration lottery, and a second specialized transition selecting means 129 for determining whether to transition to the second specific mode in the second specific migration lottery, the.

  The privilege counter extraction unit 121 extracts one privilege counter from the game information storage area 140 when the privilege counter is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the normal AT mode. If the benefit counter is extracted at the end of the normal AT mode, the effect mode transition control means 113 determines the transition to the special AT mode, and the benefit counter is not stored in the game information storage area 140. Therefore, if the privilege counter is not extracted, the transition to the non-AT mode is determined.

  The privilege counter table selection means 122 selects a privilege counter table based on the type of privilege counter extracted by the privilege counter extraction means 121 at the end of the normal AT mode.

  Specifically, the privilege counter includes a privilege counter A having a low privilege grant rate, a privilege counter B having a normal privilege grant rate, and a privilege counter C having a high privilege grant rate. The privilege counter table C is selected based on the extraction of the privilege counter table A, the privilege counter B based on the extraction of the privilege counter B, and the privilege counter table C based on the extraction of the privilege counter B (FIG. 12).

  The extra lottery means 123 executes the extra lottery with reference to the privilege counter table selected at the end of the normal AT mode based on the game start operation in the final game of the special AT mode. The number of extras (normal number of ATs) determined in the extra lottery is stored in the game information storage area 140.

  Specifically, when the privilege counter table A (FIG. 12 (a)) is selected at the end of the normal AT mode, the additional number “20” is added to the additional number “50” with a selection probability of 100%. “100” is selected with a selection probability of 0%. Similarly, when the benefit counter table B (FIG. 12B) is selected, the additional number “20” is added with a selection probability of 49%, and the additional number “50” is added with a selection probability of 50%. When the number “100” is selected with a selection probability of 1% and the privilege counter table C (FIG. 12C) is selected, the addition number “20” is added with the selection probability of 0%. “50” is selected with a selection probability of 95%, and the additional number “100” is selected with a selection probability of 5%.

  As described above, the first embodiment is configured so that the number of normal ATs is always added regardless of which bonus table is referred to in the final game in the special AT mode and the extra lottery is performed. The bonus counter table B is more than the privilege counter table A, and the bonus counter table C is referred to rather than the privilege counter table B, and a lottery is performed so that more normal AT times can be added. That is, in the extra lottery, the privilege counter with the lowest gaming profit is the privilege counter A, and the privilege counter with the highest gaming profit is the privilege counter C.

  Further, each time a game is played in the first special mode, the extra lottery means 123 refers to the extra lottery table dedicated to the first special mode (FIG. 11) and performs an extra lottery based on the game start operation. Run.

  Specifically, the table shown in FIG. 11A when the result of the internal lottery performed in the first special mode is the winning of the rare small role (No. 40 to 43) or the chance lip (No. 15). In the case of winning with a matching white BAR, the table shown in FIG. 11B, and in the case of winning with a white BAR, the table shown in FIG. 11C, a rare small role, a chance lip, a white BAR aligned, and a white BAR In the case of winning other than hitting, the lottery is executed with reference to the table shown in FIG.

  As is clear from FIG. 11, there is a possibility that the normal AT number is always added (added) by “100” in the winning of the white BAR match, and the normal AT number is added in the winning area other than the white BAR winning, There is no possibility that the number of normal ATs will be added when winning the white BAR. For this reason, winning the white BAR in the first special mode will discourage the player, but only when winning the white BAR, do not subtract the first special number, The game is also configured to maintain the first special mode.

  The advantageous AT shift lottery means 124 executes the advantageous AT shift lottery with reference to the privilege counter table selected at the end of the normal AT mode based on the game start operation in the final game of the special AT mode.

  Specifically, when the privilege counter table A (FIG. 12A) is selected at the end of the normal AT mode, the normal AT mode is selected with a 90% selection probability and the first special mode is 4%. The CZ mode is selected with a selection probability of 6%. Similarly, when the privilege counter table B (FIG. 12B) is selected, the normal AT mode is selected with a selection probability of 70%, the first specialized mode is selected with a selection probability of 10%, and the CZ mode is activated. When the privilege counter table C (FIG. 12C) is selected with a selection probability of 20%, the normal AT mode is selected with a selection probability of 0% and the first specialized mode is selected with a selection probability of 40%. , CZ mode is selected with a selection probability of 60%.

  The production mode transition control means 113 determines the transition to the normal AT mode when the normal AT mode is selected in the advantageous AT transition lottery, and the first special mode when the first special mode is selected. When the CZ mode is selected, the transition to the CZ mode is determined.

  Thus, the advantageous AT transition lottery determines the type of effect mode to be transitioned after the special AT mode ends, and the first special mode and the CZ mode transition unless the special AT mode is passed. This is a production mode that cannot be performed. Then, as is clear from FIG. 12, when the benefit counter table A is referred to and the advantageous AT transition lottery is performed, there is a high possibility of transition to the normal AT mode where the expected value of benefit grant is low. When the advantageous AT shift lottery is performed with reference to the table C, there is no possibility of shifting to the normal AT mode where the expected value of privilege grant is low, and the first specialized mode and CZ having a high expected value of privilege grant It is configured to always shift to one of the modes. That is, in the advantageous AT transition lottery, the privilege counter with the lowest gaming profit is the privilege counter A, and the privilege counter with the highest gaming profit is the privilege counter C.

  The privilege counter lottery means 125 determines whether or not to grant a privilege counter based on the results of the internal lottery in the CZ mode and the second specialized mode by the privilege counter lottery.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the privilege counter lottery means 125 is in the normal CZ mode and is one of the common bell, the 9 bells, the 7 bells, and the batting order bell (hereinafter referred to as a normal bell). When winning, a bonus counter lottery is executed with a 5% winning probability, and when winning either a rare small role or a chance lip, a bonus counter lottery is executed with a 20% winning probability, winning a white BAR match. In this case, the bonus counter lottery is executed with a winning probability of 100%, and when the other winning areas are won, the bonus counter lottery is executed with a winning probability of 1%.

  In addition, the special counter lottery means 125 executes the special counter lottery with a probability of winning 10% when winning a normal bell in the special CZ mode, and 30% when winning either a rare small role or a chance lip. A bonus counter lottery with a winning probability of 100%, a bonus counter lottery with a winning probability of 100% when winning against a white BAR match, and a bonus counter with a winning probability of 5% when winning in other winning areas Run a lottery.

  Similarly, the privilege counter lottery means 125 executes the privilege counter lottery with a 30% winning probability when winning a normal bell in the second special mode, and wins either a rare small role or a chance lip A bonus counter lottery is executed with a winning probability of 70%, a bonus counter lottery is executed with a winning probability of 100% when winning against a white BAR match, and a winning probability of 20% when winning in other winning areas The privilege counter lottery is executed.

  As is clear from FIG. 13, the special CZ mode is more likely to win the privilege counter lottery than the normal CZ mode, and the second specialized mode is more than the CZ mode (normal CZ mode, special CZ mode). Is likely to win the privilege counter lottery. In any production mode of the CZ mode and the second special mode, when the white BAR uniform is won, the bonus counter lottery is always won. In the CZ mode and the second special mode, when the white BAR uniform is selected, a stop button strike order effect in which the reels stop in a white BAR uniform manner is executed on the sub-monitor 16 or the like, and the stop button is operated in accordance with this strike order effect. Then, the reels are stopped in the same manner as the white BAR and the winning of the privilege counter lottery is notified.

  The privilege counter type determining means 126 determines the type of the privilege counter to be given to the player from among the privilege counters A to C based on the winning of the privilege counter lottery performed in the CZ mode and the second specialized mode. Although not shown, the privilege counter type determining means 126 determines the privilege counter A with a winning probability of 70%, determines the privilege counter B with a winning probability of 20%, and the privilege counter with a winning probability of 10%. C is determined.

  The privilege counter giving means 127 wins the AT lottery in the non-AT mode, reaches the AT preparation number “40” in the AT preparation mode, and increases the AT preparation number by “10” after the AT preparation number “40” has elapsed in the AT preparation mode. Each time, a privilege counter is assigned based on each of the bonus counter lottery wins in the CZ mode and the second special mode.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the privilege counter provision unit 127 assigns one privilege counter based on the decision to shift to the second special mode (described in detail later), which will be described in detail later.

  The special CZ transition lottery means 128 determines whether or not the transition to the special CZ mode is possible by the special CZ transition lottery based on the result of the internal lottery in the normal CZ mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, a special CZ transition lottery is executed with a probability of winning 30% when winning either a rare role or chance lip, and 100% when winning a white BAR match. The special CZ transition lottery is executed with the winning probability of, and when the other winning areas are won, the special CZ transition lottery is executed with the winning probability of 0%.

  In addition, when the special CZ transition lottery is won in the normal CZ mode, the production mode transition control unit 113 determines the transition to the special CZ mode. However, as will be described later, in the normal CZ mode, the second special transition lottery that determines whether or not the transition to the second special mode, which is more advantageous to the player than in the CZ mode, is performed. The conversion shift lottery is performed when the special CZ shift lottery is won. In other words, in the normal CZ mode, a special CZ transition lottery is executed by winning a rare role or chance lip, and if this special CZ transition lottery is won, the second special transition will be continued after winning the special CZ transition lottery. The lottery is configured to be executed. And when not only the special CZ transition lottery but also the second special transition lottery, the second special mode specializing in the acquisition of privilege counters is omitted (stopped) the transition to the special CZ mode. Decide to move to. At this time, the privilege counter giving means 127 is configured to give one privilege counter according to the decision to shift to the second specialization mode. As shown in FIG. 14, when the white BAR match is won in the normal CZ mode, the special CZ transition lottery is always won and the second special transition lottery is performed.

  The second special transition lottery means 129 determines whether or not the transition to the second special mode is possible in the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode by the second special transition lottery. The production mode transition control means 113 determines the transition to the second special mode based on the winning of the second special transition lottery, and the privilege counter grant means 127 determines the transition to the second special mode. A privilege counter is assigned based on the above.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the second special transition lottery means 129, in the normal CZ mode, wins the second special probability with a winning probability of 5% when winning either a rare small role or a chance lip. If you win a white BAR match, you will run a second special lottery with a 20% chance of winning, and if you win other winning areas, you will get a second special with a 0% chance of winning. Perform a transfer lottery. Similarly, in the special CZ mode, the second special transition lottery means 129 executes the second special transition lottery with a winning probability of 15% when one of the rare small role and the chance lip is won, and the white BAR The second special transfer lottery is executed with a winning probability of 100% when winning the match, and the second special transfer lottery is executed with a win probability of 0% when winning the other winning areas.

  As is clear from FIG. 15, the special CZ mode is more likely to win the second special transition lottery than the normal CZ mode, and if the white BAR match is won in the special CZ mode, the second is always Win a special transfer lottery.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the privilege counter that reserves execution of the privilege process is won in the AT lottery in the non-AT mode, the AT preparation number of times “40” is reached in the AT preparation mode, and the AT preparation is performed in the AT preparation mode. Each time the number of AT preparations increases by “10” after the number of times “40” has elapsed, the award is given either by winning the privilege counter lottery in the CZ mode or the second special mode, or by determining the transition to the second special mode. Based on the provision of the counter, two different privilege lotteries (additional lottery and advantageous AT transition lottery) are executed in the final game of the special AT mode, and the number of normal ATs is added according to the result of this privilege lottery (privilege processing) And the transition to the advantageous AT mode (first special mode, CZ mode). These privilege lotteries are performed according to the types of privilege counters (privilege counters A to C), and at least the regular AT number is added to the player so that some privilege is always given to the player (see FIG. 12). It is configured to enhance the performance. When the white BAR alignment is selected in the first special mode, the CZ mode, and the second special mode, the white BAR alignment mode is stopped so that the reels 5 to 7 are stopped in the white BAR alignment mode. By executing the batting order effect to be realized and stopping the reels in a white BAR uniform manner, the player is informed that some benefit has been given.

  Next, a game processing procedure according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Steps S1-S5)
When a prescribed number of medals are inserted into the slot machine S (S1), the start lever 9 is activated (S2). Thereafter, when the start lever 9 is operated (S3), an internal lottery is performed (S4). Then, the winning flag corresponding to the combination determined by the internal lottery is set to ON (S5). In step S5, when an effect command including information on the winning flag set to ON is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200, various effects (for example, for example, based on the information on the winning flag and the type of the effect mode) The batting order effect or the like) is executed on the sub monitor 16 or the like.

(Step S100)
Next, the first effect mode control process is executed according to the type of effect mode, and when the execution of this process ends, the process proceeds to step S6. The first effect mode control process will be described later.

(Steps S6 to S8)
Next, on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the reels 5 to 7 in the previous game, rotation of the reels 5 to 7 is started all at once (S6). After reaching the steady rotation, the operation of all stop buttons is validated (S7). Then, the corresponding reel is stopped based on the operation of the activated stop button (S8).

(Steps S9 to S13)
Next, a game result determination process is performed to determine whether or not the symbol combination related to the winning combination determined in the internal lottery in step S4 is displayed on the active line L (S9). Depending on the process, a medal payout process (S10) by winning a small role, a re-game setting process (S11) by winning a re-game player, a re-playing role or RBB role that functions as a role to shift the gaming state within the normal state A game state transition process (S12) due to the symbol combination related to being displayed on the active line L, etc., and a winning flag control process (S13) for controlling ON / OFF of the winning flag according to the result of the game result determination process Do.

(Step S200)
Next, the second effect mode control process is executed according to the type of effect mode, and when the execution of this process ends, the game is ended. The second effect mode control process will be described later.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, an internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not to win a plurality of types of winning areas based on a game start operation of the start lever 9 when a prescribed number of medals are inserted, and each reel 5-7 is selected. The rotation of the reels 5 to 7 is stopped based on the operation of the activated stop buttons 10 to 12 and the result of the internal lottery, and one game is performed.

  Next, the first effect mode control process (S100) will be described below with reference to FIGS.

(Steps S101 to S240)
In the first effect mode control process, a process corresponding to the type of effect mode in which the user is staying is executed. Specifically, when staying in non-AT mode (Yes in S101), non-AT mode processing is performed, and when staying in AT preparation mode (Yes in S103), AT preparation mode processing is performed (S120). ) When the normal AT mode is stayed (Yes in S104), the normal AT mode process is performed (S140). When the special AT mode is stayed (Yes in S105), the special AT mode process is performed (S160). ) When the first special mode is stayed (Yes in S106), the first special mode process is performed (S180). When the normal CZ mode is stayed (Yes in S107), the normal CZ mode process is performed. (S200), if the user stays in the special CZ mode (Yes in S108), performs the special CZ mode process (S220), stays in the second special mode If (S109 in Yes), the second specific mode processing (S240). Although not shown in the figure, when the user is in the non-AT mode, the AT lottery is executed based on the establishment of a predetermined condition, and when the AT lottery is won, the transition to the AT preparation mode is decided. To do.

  Next, AT preparation mode processing (S120) will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S121 to S122)
First, “1” is added to the number of AT preparations (S121), and then it is determined whether or not an AT preparation privilege grant flag indicating that a privilege counter has already been assigned in the AT preparation mode is set to ON. (S122). At this time, if the AT preparation privilege grant flag is not set to ON (No in S122), the process proceeds to step S123, and if the AT preparation privilege grant flag is set to ON (Yes in S122). Shifts the processing to step S127.

(Steps S123 to S126)
If No in step S122, that is, if the AT preparation privilege grant flag is set to OFF, it is determined whether or not the number of AT preparations is 40 (S123). At this time, if the number of AT preparations is 40 (Yes in S123), the benefit counter is incremented (given) by "1" (S124), the type of the added privilege is determined, and the type of the benefit is determined as game information. Store in the storage area 140 (S125). Then, the AT preparation privilege grant flag is turned ON (S126), and the AT preparation mode process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of AT preparations is not 40 (No in S123), the AT preparation mode process is terminated without adding the privilege counter.

(Steps S127 to S129)
If Yes in step S122, that is, if the AT preparation privilege grant flag is ON, it is determined whether or not the number of AT preparations is a multiple of 10 (S127). At this time, when the number of AT preparations is a multiple of 10 (Yes in S127), that is, when the number of AT preparations has increased by “10” after the number of AT preparations “40” has elapsed, an additional “1” is added to the benefit counter. (S128) The type of the added privilege is determined, and the privilege type is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S129), and the AT preparation mode process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of AT preparations is not a multiple of 10 (No in S127), the AT preparation mode process is terminated without adding a privilege counter.

  Next, the normal AT mode process (S140) will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S141 to S146)
First, “1” is subtracted from the number of normal ATs (S141), and it is determined whether or not the number of normal ATs is “0”, that is, the final game in the normal AT mode (S142). At this time, if the number of normal ATs is “0” (Yes in S142), it is determined whether or not the benefit counter is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S143). When “1” or more is stored (Yes in S143), one privilege counter is extracted from the game information storage area 140 (S144), and a privilege counter table is determined based on the type of the extracted privilege counter ( S145). After that, the shift to the special AT mode is determined (S146), and the normal AT mode process is terminated.

(Step S147)
If No in step S142, that is, if the number of normal ATs is not “0”, it is determined to maintain the normal AT mode (S147), and the normal AT mode processing is terminated.

(Step S148)
In the case of No in step S143, that is, when the privilege counter is not stored in the game information storage area 140, the shift to the non-AT mode is determined (S148), and the normal AT mode process is terminated.

  Next, the special AT mode processing (S160) will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S161 to S165)
First, “1” is subtracted from the number of special ATs (S161), and it is determined whether or not the number of special ATs is “0”, that is, the final game in the special AT mode (S162). At this time, if the number of special ATs is “0” (Yes in S162), the extra lottery is executed based on the privilege counter table determined in the final game in the normal AT mode (S163), and the extra lottery is decided. The additional number (addition number) of the normal AT number is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S164). Then, an advantageous AT shift lottery is executed based on the privilege counter table selected in the final game in the normal AT mode (S165).

(Steps S166 to S170)
Next, it is determined whether or not the shift to the first special mode is determined in the advantageous AT shift lottery (S166). At this time, when the transition to the first special mode is determined (Yes in S166), the transition to the first special mode is determined (S167), and the special AT mode is terminated. On the other hand, when the transition to the first special mode has not been determined (No in S166), the process proceeds to Step S168, and it is determined whether or not the transition to the normal CZ mode is determined in the advantageous AT transition lottery. (S168). At this time, if the transition to the normal CZ mode is determined (Yes in S168), the transition to the normal CZ mode is determined (S169), the special AT mode is terminated, and the transition to the normal CZ mode is determined. If not (No in S168), that is, if the transition to the normal AT mode is determined, the transition to the normal AT mode is determined (S170), and the special AT mode processing is terminated.

  Next, the first specialization mode process (S180) will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S181 to S183, S187)
First, it is determined whether or not the white BAR is won in the internal lottery in step S4 (S181). At this time, if the white BAR is not won (No in S181), “1” is subtracted from the first specialization number (S182), and the process proceeds to Step S183, and the first special shown in FIG. The extra lottery is executed with reference to the extra lottery table dedicated to the conversion mode (S183). On the other hand, if the white BAR is won (Yes in S181), it is decided to maintain the rendering mode in the first special mode without subtracting “1” from the first special count ( S187), the first specialization mode process is terminated.

(Steps S184 to S187)
Next, the additional number (addition number) of the normal AT number determined in the additional lottery in step S183 is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S184), the process proceeds to step S185, and the first specialization number is “0”. It is determined whether or not (S185). At this time, if the first specialization count is “0” (Yes in S185), the transition to the normal AT mode is determined (S186), the first specialization mode process is terminated, and the first specialization mode process is terminated. If the number of times of customization is not “0” (No in S185), it is determined to maintain the effect mode in the first special mode (S187), and the first special mode process is terminated.

  Next, the normal CZ mode process (S200) will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S201 to S203)
First, “1” is subtracted from the number of CZs (S201), and it is determined whether or not a privilege counter grant flag indicating that a privilege counter has already been granted in the CZ mode is ON (S202). At this time, if the privilege counter grant flag is not ON (No in S202), a privilege counter lottery is executed according to the result of the internal lottery in step S4 (S203), and if the privilege counter grant flag is ON (S202). In Yes), the process proceeds to step S208.

  In the normal CZ mode, when a privilege counter is not given (No in S201), a normal bell (5% winning probability), a rare small role and chance lip (20% winning probability), and a white BAR line ( The bonus counter lottery is executed by winning in the other winning areas (winning probability of 1%). That is, in the normal CZ mode, a privilege counter lottery is executed every time a game is executed until a privilege counter is granted.

(Steps S204 to S207)
Next, it is determined whether or not the privilege counter lottery performed in step S203 is won (S204). If the privilege counter lottery is won (Yes in S204), the privilege counter is incremented by “1” (S205). ), The type of the added benefit counter is determined, and this type is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S206). After that, the privilege counter grant flag is turned on (S207), and the process proceeds to step S208. On the other hand, if the bonus counter lottery in step S204 is not won (No in S204), the process proceeds to step S208.

(Steps S208 to S209)
Next, in the internal lottery in step S4, it is determined whether or not one of the winning areas in the white BAR alignment, rare small role, or chance lip is won (S208), and if these winning areas are won ( In S208 (Yes in S208), a special CZ transition lottery is executed (S209). If these winning areas are not won (No in S208), the process proceeds to Step S217.

  Note that the special CZ transition lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. 14, and if the white BAR match is won in the internal lottery, the result of the special CZ transition lottery is always a win.

(Steps S210 to S211)
Next, it is determined whether or not the special CZ transition lottery performed in step S209 is won (S210). If the special CZ transition lottery is won (Yes in S210), the table shown in FIG. The second special transfer lottery is executed with reference to (S211). On the other hand, if the special CZ transition lottery is not won (No in S210), the process proceeds to step S217 without executing the second special transition lottery.

(Steps S212 to S216)
Next, it is determined whether or not the second special transition lottery performed in step S211 has been won (S212). If the second special transition lottery is won (Yes in S212), the privilege counter is set to “ 1 ”is added (S213), the type of the added benefit counter is determined, and this type is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S214). At this time, both the special CZ transfer lottery and the second special transfer lottery are won, but the shift to the second special mode is determined by giving priority to the second special transfer lottery (S215). Then, the normal CZ mode process is terminated. On the other hand, when the second special transition lottery is not won (No in S212), the transition to the special CZ mode is determined without giving a privilege counter (S216), and the normal CZ mode process is terminated. Let

(Steps S217 to S219)
Next, in the case of No in step S208 and No in step S210, it is determined whether or not the number of CZs is “0” (S217). At this time, if the number of CZs is “0” (Yes in S217), the transition to the normal AT mode is determined (S218), the normal CZ mode process is terminated, and the number of CZs is not “0” ( In S217, No), it is decided to maintain the normal CZ mode (S219), and the normal CZ mode process is terminated.

  Next, the special CZ mode process (S220) will be described below with reference to FIG. Note that the normal CZ mode process and the special CZ mode process share part of the processes, and therefore only different processes will be described. Further, in the special CZ mode, in the state where the privilege counter is not given (No in S221), the normal bell (10% winning probability), rare small role and chance lip (30% winning probability), white BAR lineup ( The bonus counter lottery is executed by winning in the other winning areas (winning probability of 5%) (S223). That is, in the special CZ mode, as in the normal CZ mode, the privilege counter lottery is executed every time the state game is executed until the privilege counter is given.

(Steps S228 to S229)
In the internal lottery in step S4, it is determined whether or not any of the winning areas of white BAR assortment, rare small role, or chance lip is won (S228). If these winning areas are won, If the winning transition lottery is executed (S229) and these winning areas are not won, the process proceeds to step S234.

  Note that the second special transfer lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. 15, and when the white BAR match is won in the internal lottery in the special CZ mode, the result of the second special transfer lottery is Be sure to win.

(Steps S230 to S233)
Next, it is determined whether or not the second special transition lottery performed in step S229 is won (S230). If the second special transition lottery is won (Yes in S230), the second Transition to the specialized mode is determined (S231). Thereafter, “1” is added to the privilege counter (S232), the type of the added privilege counter is determined, the type is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S233), and the special CZ mode process is terminated. On the other hand, if the second special transition lottery is not won (No in S230), the process proceeds to step S234.

(Steps S234 to S236)
Next, in the case of No in step S228 and No in step S230, it is determined whether or not the number of CZs is “0” (S234). At this time, if the normal CZ count is “0” (Yes in S234), the transition to the normal AT mode is determined (S235), the special CZ mode processing is terminated, and the CZ count is not “0”. In (No in S234), it is determined to maintain the special CZ mode (S236), and the special CZ mode process is terminated.

  Next, the second specialization mode process (S240) will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Steps S241 to S245)
First, “1” is subtracted from the second specialization number (S241), and a privilege counter lottery is executed (S242). Then, it is determined whether or not the privilege counter lottery is won (S243). If the privilege counter lottery is won (Yes in S243), the privilege counter is incremented by "1" (S244), and the added privilege The type of the counter is determined and this type is stored in the game information storage area 140 (S245). On the other hand, if the privilege counter lottery is not won (No in S243), the process proceeds to step S246 without adding the privilege counter.

  In the second specialized mode, regular bells (30% winning probability), rare small roles and chance lip (70% winning probability), white BAR lineup (100% winning probability), other winning areas (20% The bonus counter lottery is executed by winning (winning probability). That is, in the second special mode, unlike the CZ mode, the special counter lottery is executed every time the game is executed regardless of whether or not the special counter is given in the second special mode.

(Steps S246 to S248)
Next, it is determined whether or not the second specialization count is “0” (S246). If the second specialization count is “0” (Yes in S246), the transition to the normal AT mode is performed. Is determined (S247), the second specialization mode is terminated, and when the second specialization count is not “0” (No in S246), it is determined to maintain the second specialization mode (S248). Then, the second specialization mode is terminated.

  Next, the second effect mode control process (S200) performed at the end of the game will be described.

  Although illustration of the second effect mode control process is omitted, an effect command including information on the effect mode of the transition destination is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 based on the determination of the transition of the effect mode in the first effect mode control process. Then, the effect mode transition means 201 of the sub-control processing unit 200 shifts the effect mode based on the information on the effect mode included in the effect command. For example, when the transition to the special AT mode is determined at the end of the normal AT mode, an effect command including information on the special AT mode is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200, and based on the reception of the effect command The effect mode transition means 201 shifts the effect mode from the normal AT mode to the special AT mode. In the second effect mode control process, that is, when the effect mode stays in the AT preparation mode at the end of the game, the type of the game state in which the user stays is determined and stays in RT1. If it is determined that the production mode is maintained in the AT preparation mode, it is determined that the production mode is shifted to the normal AT mode if the production mode is staying at RT2. When the shift to the normal AT mode is determined in the AT preparation mode, if the privilege counter grant flag is set to ON, the privilege counter grant flag is set to OFF. Similarly, in the CZ mode (normal CZ mode, special CZ mode), when it is determined to shift to an effect mode other than the CZ mode (S215, S218, S231, S235), the privilege counter grant flag is set to ON. If so, this privilege counter grant flag is set to OFF. In the first embodiment, the rendering mode is changed from the special AT mode to the CZ mode in order to set the white BAR alignment and the white BAR inversion in the CZ mode (second special mode) and the first special mode. The mode is shifted to the CZ preparation mode before shifting to the mode, and the production mode is shifted to the first special preparation mode before shifting from the special AT mode to the first special mode. Then, based on the fact that the gaming state has shifted to RT3 in the CZ preparation mode and the first special preparation mode, the production mode is changed from the CZ preparation mode to the CZ mode, or from the first special preparation mode to the first special mode. Decide to migrate.

  Next, a specific example of the transition of the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG. The specific example shown in FIG. 25 is an example in the case of shifting to the first specialized mode specialized for adding the number of normal ATs based on the privilege processing performed in the special AT mode.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (1), the AT lottery was won in the non-AT mode. Thereby, the production mode has shifted from the non-AT mode to the AT preparation mode. At this time, one privilege counter A was given.

  In the AT preparation mode, there is a batting order effect that assists the winning of REP3 having the function of transitioning to RT2 when the RT2 lip is won. As shown in FIG. 25 (1), 40 games (AT The game state was maintained at RT1 without winning the RT2 lip until the (preparation count).

  When the number of AT preparations reached “40”, although not shown in the drawing, the result of the internal lottery became the batting order bell. As a result, the effect mode is maintained in the AT preparation mode and the transition to the AT mode is delayed, so that the privilege counter B is given as shown in FIG.

  In the first embodiment, the provision of the privilege counter is notified by the effecting device, but the type of the privilege counter provided is kept secret from the player. Thereby, a player's interest can be attracted to the type of privilege counter. In the first embodiment, the type of privilege counter may be notified.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (1), even when the number of AT preparations reaches “50”, the game state is maintained at RT1 without winning the RT2 lip, resulting in further delay in transition to AT mode. . Thereby, one privilege counter C was additionally provided.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the winning of RT2 lip (No. 1 to No. 6) associated with REP3 in the AT preparation mode (first state) in which preparation for shifting to the AT mode is performed (specific conditions are determined). Based on (established), the AT preparation mode is terminated and the AT mode (second state) is entered. In this AT preparation mode, in the AT mode in which the winning probability of the re-gamer stays at RT1 which is set to a low probability of about 1/7 and shifts by winning REP3, the win probability of the re-gamer is about 1 / Stay at RT2 or RT3 set at a high probability of 2. For this reason, if the stay in the AT preparation mode is prolonged due to the non-winning RT2 lip and a delay in the transition to the AT mode occurs, medals are forced to be consumed in the AT preparation mode, and the player may be disadvantaged. There is. In the first embodiment, when the number of games in the AT preparation mode (AT preparation number) has passed 40 times, one privilege counter is given, that is, the game consists of 40 games after staying in the AT preparation mode. When the first specified period has elapsed, the user is still in the AT preparation mode. Accordingly, the disadvantage caused by the long stay period in the AT preparation mode and the delay in the transition to the AT mode can be remedied by giving a privilege, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in game play.

  In the first embodiment, after the number of AT preparations has passed 40 times, one privilege counter is assigned every time 10 games are played in the AT preparation mode. That is, after the first specific period composed of 40 games has elapsed since staying in the AT preparation mode, the second specific period composed of 10 games shorter than the first specific period has further passed. At this time, if the user is still in the AT preparation mode, a privilege counter is additionally provided. Thus, after giving the privilege counter for the first time in the AT preparation mode, in order to additionally give a privilege counter with the number of games less than 40 games necessary to give the first privilege counter, By further extending the stay period in the AT preparation mode, it is possible to give a privilege that can sufficiently compensate for the disadvantage caused by the delay in shifting to the AT mode, and the player's willingness to play can be improved.

  It should be noted that the privilege grant interval in the AT preparation mode is, for example, the AT preparation count “40” (first specific period), “60” (second specific period), or “70” (third specific period). , “75” (fourth specific period), “77” (fifth specific period), that is, a bonus grant interval may be gradually shortened, and vice versa. In other words, a configuration in which the privilege grant interval gradually increases may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the number of privilege counters granted in the AT preparation mode is not limited, but the upper limit of privilege counters granted in the AT preparation mode is 10 for example. The configuration may be limited to a specific number. Thereby, it can prevent that a privilege counter is provided excessively in AT preparation mode.

  Further, in the first embodiment, one privilege counter is assigned every elapse of the specific period (AT preparation times 40, 10), but the number of privilege counters given every elapse of the specific period is set. It may be configured to increase or decrease. For example, three benefits are granted after the number of AT preparations of 40 (first specific period), two for the second specific period, one for the third specific period, and the subsequent specific period 1 privilege is granted by or one privilege is granted after the first specific period, two are given after the second specific period, three are given after the third specific period, You may make it provide three privilege with progress of a period.

  In the first embodiment, an effect mode (hereinafter referred to as RBB mode) corresponding to the RBB operation is provided, and the gaming state is changed from the RBB operation to the non-RT in the normal state during the stay in the AT mode. (C in FIG. 9), when the effect mode is shifted from the RBB mode to the AT preparation mode, and the AT preparation mode is delayed in the AT preparation mode, as in the first embodiment, the AT A configuration in which a privilege counter is provided as relief for the delay in shifting to the mode may be used.

  In the above-described modification, when the production mode shifts from the RBB mode to the AT preparation mode, the gaming state stays in non-RT. Therefore, in order to change the AT preparation mode to the AT mode, after changing the gaming state from non-RT to RT1, the RT1 waits for the winning of RT2 Lip, and the gaming state is changed from RT1 by winning the RT2 Lip. It is necessary to move to RT2. Specifically, first, in the non-RT in the AT preparation mode after the end of the RBB mode, when the batting order bell is won, any small role is not won, and the symbol combination corresponding to BLK is displayed on the active line L (FIG. 4). Thus, the gaming state must be shifted from non-RT to RT1, and then the REP3 is won at the time of winning the RT2 lip in RT1 in the AT preparation mode to shift the gaming state from RT1 to RT2. As described above, when the production mode has shifted from the non-AT mode to the AT preparation mode by winning the AT lottery in the non-AT mode, the gaming state stays at least at RT1 instead of non-RT. In this case, the production mode can be shifted to the AT mode only by waiting for the RT2 lip winning in the AT preparation mode. On the other hand, if the AT mode is temporarily interrupted by winning the RBB in the AT mode, and the production mode shifts to the RBB mode, the gaming state is not changed in the AT preparation mode that stays after the end of the RBB mode. Since it is necessary to shift in the order of RT → RT1 → RT2, a delay in shifting to the AT mode is likely to occur. As described above, in this modified example, a delay in shifting to the AT mode is likely to occur. However, even in such a case, a privilege counter can be provided as a remedy for the delay in shifting to the AT mode.

  Note that, in the above modification, when the RBB mode is shifted to the AT preparation mode (hereinafter referred to as the first case) and when the non-AT mode is shifted to the AT preparation mode (hereinafter referred to as the second case). )) And the relief contents for the delay in the transition to the AT mode may be different. For example, in the first case, one privilege counter is given for the first time after the number of AT preparations “N” has elapsed, and in the second case, the privilege counter is only for the first time after the number of AT preparations “M” (where M> N). May be applied, or vice versa. N> M may be applied. In addition, for example, in the first case, one additional benefit counter is given for each execution of the “P” games after the number of AT preparations “N” has elapsed, and in the second case, the number of AT preparations “ A configuration in which an additional privilege counter is added for each “Q times” (Q> P) game execution after “M” has elapsed, or vice versa, P> Q Also good.

  In addition, in the first embodiment example, even when a transition delay to the CZ mode (first specialization mode) occurs in the CZ preparation mode (first specialization preparation mode), as in the first embodiment example, The structure which provides a privilege counter may be sufficient. In the CZ preparation mode (first special preparation mode), the winning probability of the re-gamer stays at RT2 with a high probability (about ½), and to RT3 in this CZ preparation mode (first special preparation mode). In the CZ mode (one special mode) that is transferred when the REP4 having the transfer function wins, it stays at RT3 having the same probability as the winning probability of the re-gamer in the CZ preparation mode (first special preparation mode). For this reason, even if a transition delay occurs in the CZ preparation mode (first special preparation mode), it is not possible to give a loss due to consumption of medals as in the case where a transition delay from the AT preparation mode to the AT mode occurs. No, but if a bonus counter is added when there is a delay in transition to CZ mode (first special mode), the player's interest is attracted to the number of games in CZ mode and the gameability is improved. Can be made.

  Returning to FIG. 25, the RT2 lip was won at the start of the 55th game (AT preparation count “55”) after entering the AT preparation mode. Thereby, a batting order effect that assists the winning of REP3 is executed, and the stop button is operated in accordance with the batting order effect, and REP3 wins. As a result, the gaming state has shifted from RT1 to RT2, and the effect mode has shifted from the AT preparation mode to the normal AT mode.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (2), in the normal AT mode, the normal AT number is decremented by “1” for each game, and the normal AT number remains “1”. At this time, one bonus counter A, B, C is stored in the game information storage area 140. Thereby, the transition to the special AT mode in which the privilege processing is performed is determined, one privilege counter C is extracted from the game information storage area 140, and the privilege counter table C corresponding to the privilege counter C is selected.

  In the first embodiment, when a plurality of types of privilege counters are stored in the game information storage area 140, the privilege counter having the highest gaming profit is preferentially extracted from the plurality of types of privilege counters. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and any one of the bonus counters stored in the game information storage area 140 may be selected by lottery, or a bonus with a low gaming profit may be used. The counter may be preferentially extracted, or may be configured to be extracted in order from the old privilege counter or in order from the new privilege counter in the order stored in the game information storage area 140. .

  As shown in FIG. 25 (2), the effect mode has shifted from the normal AT mode to the special AT mode based on the fact that the privilege counter is extracted in the normal AT mode. In other words, an AT game (special game) that can be executed in the special AT mode is given a predetermined number of times based on the privilege counter extracted in the normal AT mode.

  In the special AT mode, the number of special ATs is decremented by “1” for each game, and the number of special ATs remains “1”. At this time, as shown in FIG. 25 (2), both the extra lottery and the advantageous AT shift lottery (privilege processing) were performed with reference to the privilege counter table C selected in the final game in the normal AT mode. By this privilege processing, both the addition of the normal AT number “50” and the shift to the first special mode are determined, and the result of the privilege processing is notified by the effect device at the end of the special AT mode.

  In the first embodiment, with the privilege counter type extracted in the final game of the normal AT mode kept secret from the player, the effect mode is shifted to the special AT mode, and the privilege counter continues after the transition to the special AT mode. An effect that makes the type of the character unpredictable is executed, and the result of the privilege process is notified by the effect device at the end of the special AT mode. Thereby, the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the final game in the special AT mode.

  In the first embodiment, the special counter mode may be used to suggest or notify the privilege counter type extracted in the final game in the normal AT mode. For example, at the beginning of the transition to the special AT mode, an effect that makes it impossible to discriminate the type of the extracted benefit counter is executed, and the effect counter type can be discriminated as the game progresses in the special AT mode. In addition, for example, an effect button (not shown) is provided in the slot machine S, and an effect that makes it possible to determine the type of the benefit counter by operating the effect button in the special AT mode is executed. It may be a configuration.

  In the first embodiment, the number of games that can be executed in the special AT mode (special game, special AT number) is set to “10” (predetermined number) in advance, and the stay period in this special AT mode is unchanged. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a configuration in which the stay period of the special AT mode varies may be used. For example, when the special AT mode ends, whether to continue the special AT mode is determined by continuous lottery, the special AT mode is continued by winning the continuous lottery, and the special AT mode is ended by non-winning the continuous lottery. Also good.

  Further, in the first embodiment, a special AT mode stay period, that is, a special AT number (special game) is calculated based on the type of privilege counter extracted from the game information storage area 140 in the final game of the normal AT mode. A special AT number determination means for determining the number of times from among the above may be provided. For example, the special AT number determination means, when the type of the benefit counter extracted in the final game in the normal AT mode is the benefit counter A, the special AT number is 5 times with a 90% probability and 10 times with a 10% probability. In the case of privilege counter B, the number of special ATs is determined to be 5 times with a probability of 50%, 10 times with a probability of 40%, 15 times with a probability of 10%, and in the case of privilege counter C. The number of special ATs is determined to be 5 times with a probability of 10%, 10 times with a probability of 70%, and 15 times with a probability of 20%. Then, based on the stay period in the special AT mode, it is possible to cause the player to guess the result of the privilege process (special of the privilege counter) performed in the final game in the special AT mode.

  In addition, in the first embodiment, a privilege counter A with a low privilege grant rate, a privilege counter B with a normal privilege grant rate, and a privilege counter C with a high privilege grant rate are included. The bonus counter A has a probability of 70%, the bonus counter B has a probability of 20%, and the bonus counter C has a probability of 10%. However, the bonus counter lot is not limited to this configuration, and the bonus counter lottery is won. Depending on the gaming situation at the time, the type of privilege counter may be determined. For example, a configuration in which the type of the privilege counter is determined according to the result of the internal lottery when the bonus counter lottery is won (for example, a configuration in which the bonus counter C is always determined by winning with a white BAR match, or a batting order bell win) (A configuration in which a rare role winner can easily determine a privilege counter with a high gaming profit) or a configuration in which the privilege counter type is determined according to the type of the production mode when winning the privilege counter lottery ( For example, a configuration in which it is easier to determine a privilege counter with a higher gaming profit when the privilege counter is granted in the second specialization mode than when the privilege counter is granted in the CZ mode or the AT preparation mode). And a configuration in which the type of privilege counter is determined according to the number of normal ATs, the number of CZs, or the number of second specializations when the privilege counter lottery is won (for example, the maximum in the second specialization mode) Always it may be configured) to determine the benefits counter C is if you won the award counter lottery in the game.

  In the first embodiment, the bonus process (both the extra lottery and the advantageous AT shift lottery) is executed in the final game in the special AT mode, and the bonus process is extracted in the final game in the normal AT mode. The type of bonus counter, i.e., based on the type of privilege counter table, is not limited to this configuration, and the result of the internal lottery in the final game of the special AT mode, the type of the privilege counter table, Based on both, the structure which performs privilege processing may be sufficient. For example, in special AT mode last game, when privilege processing is performed with reference to the privilege counter table A (FIG. 12A), the winning probability of the internal lottery is set to be lower than the batting order bell or the like. If the privilege counter table A to be referred to can be changed to the privilege counter table B on the basis of the winning of a rare small role or the like that is only won, and the privilege counter table to be referenced is changed to the privilege counter table B, the table B Based on the privilege counter table A determined by the type of the privilege counter, without changing the privilege counter table to be referred to, for example, based on the winning of the batting order bell, for example, the privilege processing is executed To do. In this way, by performing bonus processing in consideration of the result of the internal lottery in the final game of the special AT mode, it becomes possible to make the player pay attention to the result of the internal lottery, and rarely in the internal lottery. It is possible to change the privilege table that is referenced in the winning of a rare small role, etc. that is not won to a higher table with high gaming profits, and the result of the privilege processing is, for example, a low AT It is possible to prevent the game motivation from being lowered due to the transition to the mode and so-called defeat.

  In the first embodiment, the privilege counter granting means (right granting means) 127 is the second special feature even if the privilege counter lottery (privilege lottery) performed in the CZ mode (first state) is not won. If the shift to the second special mode (second state) is determined by winning the conversion to the lottery (transfer lottery), the benefit counter ( Right to execute privilege processing), the additional lottery means 123 and the advantageous AT shift lottery means 124 (hereinafter referred to as privilege processing execution means) have a special AT number of “1” remaining in the special AT mode. When the game is started (when the special game end condition is satisfied), the privilege processing (additional lottery, advantageous AT shift lottery) is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the privilege processing execution means (execution means) is a special AT mode at the end of a game in which the number of special AT remaining is “1” (when the special game end condition is satisfied). Special games (games in the special AT mode) such as when the number of special ATs in the AT mode has become an odd number such as “3” or “5”, or even times such as “2” or “4” The configuration may be such that privilege processing is executed based on execution.

  Returning to FIG. 25, the production mode has shifted from the special AT mode to the first special mode. In the first specialization mode, the number of games that can be executed (first specialization number) is set to a finite number of “5” in advance, and an extra lottery is performed each time a game is executed in the first specialization mode. It is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (3), the first special number “5” wins the batting order bell, the first special number “4” wins the normal lip, and the first special number “3” wins the batting order. As a result of winning the bell and winning the RT3 lip with the first specialization number “2”, the normal AT number was added in each game, and the cumulative value of the normal AT number was “100”.

  The first game in the first special mode, that is, the first special number of times “1” was won to win the white BAR. At this time, an effect (hereinafter referred to as a special effect) that prompts the user to operate the stop button in an operation mode (hereinafter referred to as a special operation mode) capable of displaying a white BAR symbol on the active line L is executed. The stop button was operated according to As a result, the reels stopped in a white BAR mode, and the addition of the normal number of ATs was denied.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (3), since the player won the white BAR in the previous game, the first specialization count was maintained at “1”, and the first special game stayed in the current game. And I won the white BAR match in this game. At this time, a special effect was executed as in the case of winning the white BAR, and the stop button was operated in accordance with this special effect. As a result, the reels stopped in the same manner as the white BAR, and the normal AT number “100” was added. As a result, the cumulative value of the number of normal ATs became “200”, and the stay period in the normal AT mode was greatly extended.

  In the first embodiment, the first special mode (specific state) that can be shifted only from the special AT mode is an effect mode specializing in the addition (giving a privilege) of the normal AT game. Is defined in advance as a finite number of “5 times”. In the first special mode, the lottery is executed for each game based on the result of the internal lottery. For this reason, a player's interest can be strongly attracted to the result of the internal lottery of five games in the first special mode.

  In the first special mode, the white BAR pattern in which three white BAR symbols are aligned in parallel at the time of winning the white BAR line (a winning area other than the special area) that always adds the normal AT number “100”. The reels can be stopped in (other stop modes other than the special stop mode), and at the time of winning the white BAR (special area) where the extra number of ATs is always set to “0”, it is as if the white BARs are aligned. The reel can be stopped in a white BAR turning mode (special stop mode) in which the player is hit as if the reel is stopped. For this reason, the winning of the white BAR (white BAR burning mode) can be a factor that reduces the player's willingness to play, but the winning of the white BAR does not subtract “1” from the first specialization count. The first special mode is always continued (without updating the parameter value). For this reason, even if the extra is not performed in the winning of the white BAR, it is possible to continue the first special mode and have an expectation for the extra of the next game, and to improve the playability be able to.

  In the first embodiment, it is configured to be able to add the normal number of ATs in all winning areas other than the white BAR (except for the special area) (see FIG. 11). It is configured to be able to end the first special mode by subtracting “1” from the number of first specializations in winning of other winning areas. In other words, in the first embodiment, the first special mode can be ended by winning the winning area where the extra can be realized, and the first special mode can be obtained by winning the white BAR (special area) where the extra cannot be realized. The stay period in the first special mode can be changed depending on whether or not the normal number of ATs can be increased.

  In the first embodiment, the re-playing combination (REP6, 10) that stops the reels in a white BAR aligned manner is associated with the white BAR aligned (No. 13 and No. 14), and the white BAR (No. 16) is associated with the white BAR. Replay player (REP11) that stops reels in a rolling manner is associated, and when winning a match with white BAR, REP6 etc. are won by operating the stop button in a special operation mode that displays white BAR symbols on the effective line L Thus, the reels are stopped in the white BAR aligned mode, the REP11 is awarded in the special operation mode when the white BAR is turned, and the reels are stopped in the white BAR aligned mode. That is, in the first embodiment, the winning area (white BAR alignment) for stopping reels in a white BAR alignment mode and the winning area (white BAR rotation) for stopping reels in a white BAR rotation mode are individually provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and in accordance with the operation mode of the stop button, the winning area in which the reel is stopped in either the white BAR alignment mode or the white BAR turning mode (referred to as a special area in this paragraph). The structure which has only one may be sufficient. That is, a special area is included in a plurality of types of winning areas, and in a specific state (first special mode) in which a privilege can be granted, the first operation mode (special operation mode, for example, batting order 5, 6), the reel is stopped in the first stop mode (other stop mode, white BAR uniform mode) and a privilege is given, and the second operation mode (other operation modes, for example, batting order 1 to 2) at the time of winning the special area 4) Based on 4), the reel is stopped in the second stop mode (special stop mode, white BAR rolling mode) and the privilege is not given, and the specific state is set in the first operation mode (special operation mode) at the time of winning the special area. The specific state may be continued in the second operation mode (other operation modes) when the special area is won.

  In the first embodiment, in the first special mode, the first special mode can be ended by subtracting the first special number by winning in a winning area other than the white BAR, and the white BAR The first special mode is maintained without subtracting the first special number in the winning of the game, that is, the update means (game number count means 112) for updating the parameter value (first special number) related to the game is provided. The update means updates the parameter value by winning the winning area other than the special area (white BAR) in the specific state (first special mode), but does not update the parameter value by winning the special area. Thus, the transition means (production mode transition means 201) terminates the specific state based on the parameter value being updated to the specific value (first specialization count “0”) by the updating means in the specific state. It is, and is configured to continue a particular state based on the parameter value has not been updated in a specific value by the updating means. However, it is not limited to this configuration. In the first specialization mode, the first specialization is performed only when the number of first specializations is decremented by “1” regardless of the result of the internal lottery and the white BAR is won by the internal lottery. The number of times may be increased by “1” and the first special mode may be maintained. In the first special mode, the first special number may be set only when the white BAR is won by internal lottery. The first special mode may be maintained by adding “1” and subtracting “1” from the first special count regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  In FIG. 25 (3), although detailed description is omitted, the normal AT mode is “200” at the end of the first special mode. Transition to the AT mode and stay in the normal AT mode without shifting to the non-AT mode until at least “200 times” AT game is performed in the normal AT mode. In the specific example shown in FIG. 25, since the privilege counters A and B are stored in the game information storage area 140 after the end of the first special mode, the game information storage area 140 is again stored at the end of the normal AT mode. The stored privilege counter is extracted, and the privilege processing related to the provision of the privilege is performed based on the extracted privilege counter.

  In the first embodiment, when the winning of white BAR is continued in the first special mode or when the number of wins of white BAR in the first special mode reaches a specific number (for example, three times). The configuration may be such that a privilege counter can be given, or the mode can be shifted to the CZ mode or the second special mode after the first special mode ends.

  Next, a specific example of the transition of the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG. In the specific example shown in FIGS. 26 (1) to (3), a special process (additional lottery and advantageous AT shift lottery) is performed in the final game (special AT number “1”) in the special AT mode. This is an example in the case where the transition to the CZ mode is determined, and is an example in the case where the transition is further made to the second specialized mode specialized for obtaining the privilege counter after the transition to the CZ mode.

  First, a specific example of FIG. 26 (1) will be described. FIG. 26 (1) shows that a special CZ mode transition lottery is performed by winning the rare role in the normal CZ mode, and the special CZ mode transition lottery is won and the special CZ mode is entered. This is an example of a case where the player has won the rare special role again and has entered the second special mode by winning the second special transfer lottery performed in the rare bonus case.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (1), the hitting order bell was won in the first game (CZ number “5”) in the CZ mode. In the CZ mode, a bonus counter lottery can be executed regardless of which winning area is won (see FIGS. 13 and 22). Based on the fact that the rare small role is won in the third game (CZ number “3”) in the CZ mode, both the special counter lottery and the special CZ transition lottery are executed (S203, S209), and the special counter lottery is performed. The result was a loss, but the result of the special CZ transition lottery was a win (Yes in S210). At this time, the second special transition lottery was performed by winning the special CZ transition lottery (S211), but the result of the second special transition lottery was lost (No in S211). As a result, the transition to the special CZ mode is determined (S216), and the effect mode transitions from the normal CZ mode to the special CZ mode.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (1), both the special counter lottery and the second special transfer lottery are performed based on the fact that the rare game is won in the fifth game (CZ number “1”) in the CZ mode. (S223, S229). As a result, although the result of the privilege counter lottery was lost, the result of the second special shift lottery was a hit, and the production mode shifted from the special CZ mode to the second special mode.

  In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26 (1), although the result of the privilege counter lottery has never been a hit, the bonus counter lottery is determined when the transition to the second specialized mode is determined. The result of the above is rewritten to give a bonus counter. Note that, in the first embodiment, the configuration may be such that one benefit counter is simply given without rewriting the result of the privilege counter lottery by the determination of the transition to the second special mode.

  In this way, FIG. 26 (1) shows the transition to the special CZ mode when the rare role combination is won in the normal CZ mode, and the transition to the second special mode based on the fact that the rare role combination is won again in the special CZ mode. The second special mode for determining whether or not to shift to the second special mode even though the special counter lottery for determining whether or not the special counter can be granted is not won in the CZ mode. It is an example when a privilege counter is given based on having won the lottery.

  Next, a specific example of FIG. 26 (2) will be described. Although detailed explanation is omitted, as shown in FIG. 26 (2), all the lotteries of the bonus count lottery, the special CZ transition lottery, and the second special transition lottery are performed in the winning of the white BAR match in the normal CZ mode. (S203, S209, S211). As a result, the bonus counter lottery is won (see FIG. 13, the bonus counter lottery winning probability is 100%) and the grant of the bonus counter is confirmed, and the special CZ transition lottery is won (see FIG. 14, the special CZ transition lottery winning probability) 100%) and the transition to the special CZ mode is confirmed, but the result of the second special transition lottery is lost (No in S212). As a result, the production mode shifts from the normal CZ mode to the special CZ mode, and the second special transition lottery is won by the winning of the rare role in this special CZ mode (Yes in S230), and the second special mode is entered. The transition was decided. As a result of the decision to shift to the second special mode, a privilege counter is given and the second special mode is entered.

  Thus, FIG. 26 (2) is based on the fact that the special counter is given in the winning of the white BAR match in the normal CZ mode, the special CZ mode is entered, and the rare small role is won in the special CZ mode. This is an example in the case of shifting to the specialized mode, and is an example in the case where two privilege counters are given during the CZ mode by winning of the privilege counter lottery and winning of the second specialized transition lottery.

  Next, a specific example of FIG. 26 (3) will be described. Although detailed explanation is omitted, FIG. 26 (3) shows the winning of the special CZ transition lottery in the normal CZ mode win and the transition to the special CZ mode, and the winning of the white BAR match in the special CZ mode. Both the special counter lottery and the second special transfer lottery are won, and not only one special counter is given by the win of the special counter lottery, but also the second special mode by the win of the second special transfer lottery. This is an example in which one more benefit counter is given in the transition determination and the transition to the second specialization mode is made.

  Next, a specific example of FIG. 26 (4) will be described. Although detailed explanation is omitted, FIG. 26 (4) shows that the special counter winning lottery and the special CZ transfer lottery are determined based on the white BAR matching winning in the normal CZ mode. This is an example in which the second special transition lottery performed based on the winning is won and the effect mode shifts from the normal CZ mode to the second special mode without going through the special CZ mode. In this case, similarly to the specific example of FIG. 26 (3), one privilege counter is awarded in the winning of the privilege counter lottery, and one privilege counter is given in the winning of the second special transition lottery.

  In the first embodiment, a privilege counter lottery (privilege lottery) is executed in the CZ mode (first state), and a privilege counter (privilege) is given by winning the privilege counter lottery. The privilege counter lottery is performed based on the result of the internal lottery. In the CZ mode, the privilege counter lottery is executed even if any winning area is won in the internal lottery (FIG. 13). For this reason, in the CZ mode, a player can be given a sense of expectation for winning the benefit counter lottery regardless of which winning area is won.

  The CZ mode includes a normal CZ mode in which the winning probability of the bonus counter lottery is normal and a special CZ mode in which the winning probability of the bonus counter lottery is high (FIG. 13), and a rare role in the normal CZ mode. The special CZ transition lottery is performed by winning (rare small role, chance lip), and the production mode is shifted to the special CZ mode by winning the special CZ transition lottery. On the other hand, even when the regular CZ mode is won for the white BAR match, the special CZ mode shift lottery is performed. In this case, the special CZ mode shift lottery is always won, so The transition to the mode can be notified.

  In the first embodiment, a second special mode (second state) specialized for obtaining a privilege counter is provided, and the second special mode can be shifted only from the CZ mode. . In the CZ mode (normal CZ mode, special CZ mode), whether to shift to the second special mode is determined by the second special transfer lottery (transfer lottery). The execution timing of the second special transition lottery is different between the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode. In the normal CZ mode, the second special transition lottery is executed only when the special CZ mode transition lottery is won. (S210: Yes). In the special CZ mode, it is executed when a rare role (rare small role, chance lip) and a white BAR match are won (Yes in S228). The transition to the second special mode is surely confirmed. In other words, a plurality of transition patterns to the second special mode are provided, and the first one is the special CZ transition lottery in the normal CZ mode, and the second special mode performed based on the special CZ transition lottery. Pattern that is not selected in the conversion lottery, shifts to the special CZ mode, and wins the second special shift lottery in the special CZ mode (FIG. 26 (1), (2), (3)) Is a pattern (FIG. 26 (4)) in which a special CZ transition lottery is won in the normal CZ mode and a second special transition lottery is performed based on the special CZ transition lottery. As described above, in the first embodiment, a plurality of transition patterns to the second specialized mode specialized for obtaining the privilege counter are provided, so that a variety of games can be enriched.

  Further, in the first embodiment, even when the privilege counter lottery (privilege lottery) is performed a plurality of times in the CZ mode (first state) and all the results of the plurality of times are unfair (S202). Yes, Yes in S232), the result of the second specialized transfer lottery (transfer lottery) is won (Yes in S212, Yes in S230), and the transition to the second specialized mode (second state) is made. When determined, based on this determination, the result of the privilege counter lottery is rewritten from unsuccessful to successful and a privilege counter is provided (S213, S232). As described above, in the first embodiment, even if the bonus counter lottery that determines whether or not the privilege counter is granted is not won, the second special transition that determines whether or not the transition to the second special mode is possible. Since it is the structure which provides a privilege counter based on having won the lottery, the opportunity of privilege provision can be ensured and game property can be improved.

  Even if the privilege counter cannot be acquired during the stay in the second specialization mode, in the first embodiment, the privilege counter is changed based on the decision to shift to the second specialization mode. Since it is configured to be granted, it is possible to prevent a decrease in gaming motivation due to the fact that the privilege counter cannot be acquired in the second specialized mode specialized for acquiring the privilege counter.

  Note that in the first embodiment, the second special transition lottery is not executed when the rare role (rare small role, chance lip) is won in the special CZ mode, that is, in the special CZ mode, only the white BAR matches are won. The second special transition lottery may be executed.

  In the first embodiment, the special CZ transition lottery is executed with a probability of winning 100% when the white BAR match is won in the normal CZ mode, and 100% is won when the white BAR match is won in the special CZ mode. Although it is configured to execute the second special transition lottery with the winning probability, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the special CZ mode is performed without executing the special CZ transition lottery when the white BAR match is won in the normal CZ mode. It may be configured to determine the transition to the second special transition mode without executing the second special transition lottery when the transition to is determined and the white BAR match is won in the special CZ mode.

  In the first embodiment, the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode are configured so that the winning counter lottery win probability is different. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode are different. The winning counter lottery winning probability may be the same. In such a configuration, the CZ mode may be a single CZ mode without being classified into the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode. When configured in this way, a predetermined lottery is executed in place of the special CZ transition lottery in the first specific combination (rare combination, white BAR uniform) in the CZ mode, and the second special combination is executed based on the predetermined lottery. The transition mode is changed, and the production mode is shifted from the CZ mode to the second special mode based on the winning of the second special transfer lottery. Then, as in the first embodiment, when winning the white BAR match in the CZ mode, the winning of the predetermined lottery is confirmed and the second special transition lottery is executed, and the first specific combination (rare) In the case where the predetermined lottery is won in the winning combination of the role and white BAR, but the second special transition lottery is not won, in the subsequent CZ mode, the winning of the predetermined lottery has been confirmed (hereinafter referred to as the winning lottery) If the second specified combination (rare combination) is won in the predetermined lottery selection state, the predetermined lottery is not executed and the second special transition is made again. Run lottery only. On the other hand, if the winning combination of the white BAR is won in the predetermined lottery winning state, the winning of the second special transition lottery is confirmed, and the production mode is always shifted from the CZ mode to the second special mode. . As a result, a plurality of transition routes to the second special mode can be secured, and a wide variety of games can be provided.

  Further, in the first embodiment, even when the bonus counter lottery is not won in the CZ mode, the bonus counter is provided based on the decision to shift to the second specialized mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a configuration in which a privilege counter is given based on the fact that the production mode has shifted to the second specialization mode may be employed. That is, the privilege lottery means for determining whether or not to grant a privilege by the privilege lottery (privilege counter lottery), the privilege granting means for granting a privilege based on the winning of the privilege lottery, and the first state (CZ mode) Transition lottery means for determining whether or not to shift to the second state (second specialized mode) by transition lottery (second specialized transition lottery), and the first state (CZ mode) is terminated based on the winning of the transition lottery And transition means for shifting to the second state (second special mode) and rewriting means for rewriting the result of the bonus lottery, and the rewriting means has a result of the bonus lottery in the first state (CZ mode). Even if it is a win, if the result of the transfer lottery is a win and the production mode shifts to the second state (second special mode), the benefit is based on the shift to the second state. Rewrite lottery results from unsuccessful to successful It may be of.

  In the first embodiment, the second special transition lottery that determines whether or not the transition to the second special mode is possible based on the winning of either the rare combination (rare small combination, chance lip) or the white BAR symbol. It is configured to execute, and in the winning such as batting order bell or normal lip, the second special transition lottery is not executed, that is, in the winning such as batting order bell or normal lip, the transition to the second special mode is realized. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the transition to the second special mode is made based on the winning of a winning area other than the rare role and white BAR uniform (hereinafter referred to as a special area). May be configured to be feasible. If it does in this way, the transition opportunity to the 2nd special mode can be ensured, and game nature can be improved. Below, the modification which can implement | achieve transfer to 2nd specialization mode by winning of a special area is demonstrated.

  As a first modified example, based on the winning of the special area in the CZ mode, a granting means for granting a game point that triggers the transition to the second specialized mode, and the given game point in the game information storage area 140 Storage means for cumulatively adding and storing, and the effect mode transition control means determines the effect mode based on the fact that the game points stored in the game information storage area 140 have reached a specific value (for example, 10,000 points). The mode is shifted to the second special mode. In addition, in the said modification, based on having reached | attained the specific value of the game point, the structure which always transfers production | generation mode to 2nd special mode may be sufficient, The 2nd special transfer lottery is performed, When winning in this lottery, a configuration for shifting to the second special mode may be used.

  As a second modified example, the first modified example further includes a varying means for varying the gaming point grant rate, and the varying means varies the gaming point grant rate according to the type of the CZ mode. It may be a configuration. That is, in the second modification, the game point grant rate is varied between the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode.

  As described above, in the normal CZ mode, the winning combination of white BAR, rare role (rare small role, chance lip) (Yes in S208), special CZ transfer lottery (Yes in S210), second special transfer lottery Only when all of the winnings (Yes in S212) are satisfied, the effect mode can be shifted from the normal CZ mode to the second specialized mode (FIG. 22). On the other hand, in the special CZ mode, the effect mode is changed from the special CZ mode to the second by satisfying the winning of the white BAR uniform or rare role (Yes in S228) and the second special transition lottery (Yes in S230). It is possible to shift to the specialized mode (FIG. 23). Thus, the transition probability to the second special mode (the expected value of the transition to the second special mode) is higher in the special CZ mode than in the normal CZ mode. That is, in the second modified example, the game point grant rate is changed according to the expected value of the transition to the second special mode.

  Although illustration is omitted about the second modification, for example, in the normal CZ mode, based on the winning of the special area, the game point “10” is given with a probability of 70%, and the game point “with a probability of 30%” 50 ", with a probability of 0%, a game point" 100 "is awarded, and in the special CZ mode, a game point" 10 "is awarded with a probability of 10% based on the winning of the special area. The game point grant rate is changed according to the type of the CZ mode so that the game point “50” is given with probability and the game point “100” is given with 40% probability.

  As described above, in the second modification example, the special CZ mode is higher than the normal CZ mode in the rate of game points that trigger the transition to the second special mode. Even in the special CZ mode where the expected value of the transition is high, even if the second special transition lottery is not performed without winning the white BAR uniform or rare role (No in S228), even if the white BAR uniform or rare role is won When the result of the second special transition lottery is lost (No in S230), it is possible to prevent the expectation for the transition to the second special mode from being betrayed and the gaming motivation from being lowered.

  In the second modification, the changing means for changing the game point grant rate changes the game point grant rate so that the normal CZ mode has a higher game point grant rate than the special CZ mode. The structure to be made may be sufficient. If it does in this way, the game nature in normal CZ mode can be improved.

  In the first and second modified examples, the game point is given based on the winning of the special area so that the transition to the second special mode can be realized. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The configuration may be such that game points are given without using the result of the lottery. Hereinafter, the modified example (third modified example) will be described.

  As a third modified example, there are provided point grant determining means for determining whether or not to grant a game point as a trigger for transition to the second special mode, and game points (values) to be given by the determination of the game point grant. Point determining means for determining; granting means for granting the determined game points; and storage means for accumulatively storing the assigned game points. The point grant determining means determines the game point grant based on the transition from the CZ mode to the normal AT mode. More specifically, the point grant determining means determines that the transition to the second special mode is denied in the normal CZ mode (No in S210), and the effect mode has shifted from the normal CZ mode to the normal AT mode (S218). ) To determine the awarding of gaming points, and the transition to the second special mode is denied in the special CZ mode (No in S230), and the production mode has transitioned from the special CZ mode to the normal AT mode. Based on (S235), a game point is determined to be given. Then, the point determination means determines whether to give game points based on the transition from the normal CZ mode to the normal AT mode and based on the transition from the special CZ mode to the normal AT mode. The game points to be given are determined so as to be different from those in the case of being played. Specifically, the point determination means determines the game point to be given to the first point (for example, 100 points) based on the transition from the normal CZ mode to the normal AT mode, and switches from the special CZ mode to the normal AT mode. Based on the transition, game points to be awarded are determined to be second points (for example, 500 points) that are greater than the first points. If it does in this way, even if it is a case where transfer to the 2nd specialization mode specialized in grant of a privilege counter fails, since a game point is awarded, a fall of game willingness can be prevented. Further, since different game points can be given according to the expected value of the transition to the second special mode, the gameability in the CZ mode can be improved.

  In the third modification, the point determination means gives a second point (for example, 500 points) based on the transition from the normal CZ mode to the normal AT mode, and based on the transition from the special CZ mode to the normal AT mode. The game point may be provided with a first point (for example, 100 points).

  Moreover, in the 1st-3rd modification, although it has the structure which provides the game point regarding the transfer to the 2nd specialization mode specialized in grant of a privilege counter, it is not restricted to this structure, AT game ( The configuration may be such that game points relating to the transition to the first specialized mode specialized for the addition of the (normal number of ATs) are given. Hereinafter, the modified example (fourth modified example) will be described.

  In the fourth modified example, point grant determining means for determining whether or not to grant a game point as a trigger for transition to the first special mode, and a point for determining a game point to be granted by determining the grant of the game point A determining unit (point changing unit), a granting unit for granting the determined game point, and a storage unit for cumulatively storing the given game point are provided. The point grant determination means has predetermined conditions established in the normal AT mode where the expected value of the AT game (normal number of ATs) is normal and in the special AT mode where the expected value of the AT game is higher than the normal AT mode. Based on what has been done, the game points are determined to be given. Then, the point determination means determines the game points so that the game point grant rates differ between the normal AT mode and the special AT mode. That is, according to the expected value of the AT game (expectation value for privilege grant), the game point grant rate that triggers the transition to the first special mode is varied.

  Although illustration is omitted for the fourth modified example, for example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the normal AT mode (for example, a winning of a predetermined role, a non-winning of a specific role, a result of a predetermined lottery is lost, etc.), 10 When the game point “10” is given with a probability of% and the game point “100” is given with a probability of 90%, while the predetermined condition is satisfied in the special AT mode, the game point “10” is given with a probability of 10%. ”And a game point“ 100 ”is granted with a probability of 90%. That is, the game point grant rate is varied so that the special AT mode has a higher game point grant rate than the normal AT mode. Then, as in the first to third modifications, the effect mode is shifted to the first specialization mode based on the fact that the game points stored in the game information storage area 140 have reached a specific value.

  Further, in the first embodiment, a privilege counter may be provided based on winning with matching white BARs in the RBB operation. For example, when one of the white BAR alignment and the white BAR rolling is won by the RBB operation, the batting order effect that prompts the display of the white BAR symbol on the effective line L is executed by operating the stop button, and the white BAR alignment is performed. If the player is elected, the reels are stopped in a manner in which the white BARs are aligned. If the player is elected in the manner of white BARs, the reels are stopped in the manner of white BARs.

  Subsequently, a slot machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Compared with the slot machine S according to the first embodiment, the slot machine according to the second embodiment is mainly useful for the types of symbols (FIG. 27) arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 5 to 7 and useful. The associated symbol combination (FIG. 28), winning area (FIG. 29), and processing in the CZ mode and the second specialization mode (FIGS. 30 to 32) are different. Therefore, portions different from the first embodiment will be described, and description of the same portions will be omitted.

  In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the privilege counter is acquired before the end of the normal AT mode, the effect mode is shifted from the normal AT mode to the special AT mode (see FIG. 10 C), bonus processing (both extra lottery and advantageous AT transition lottery) is executed in the final game in the special AT mode, and the number of normal ATs is increased according to the result of the bonus processing, and the production mode is also bonus The purpose is to acquire a lot of medals by extending the stay period of the AT mode by shifting to the CZ mode or the like specialized for obtaining a counter.

  In the first embodiment, in the CZ mode and the second specialized mode, a bonus counter is provided mainly based on winning the “white BAR uniform” in the internal lottery. In the embodiment, in the CZ mode and the second specialized mode, the reels are stopped mainly in the winning area “Bell”, which will be described later, in the winning area “Rare”, which will be described later, Based on the above, a privilege counter is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 27, a total of 10 types of symbols of red 7, black BAR, white BAR, black circles 1 to 4, stars, bells, and replays are arranged in each of the symbol rows 5a to 7a. As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, in the second embodiment example, as in the first embodiment example, a plurality of types of re-game players (REP1 to 16) are provided. Is a black BAR, black circle 1, black circle 2, black circle 3 and black circle 4 symbols (hereinafter referred to as black symbols) any three black symbols are aligned in a straight line (black aligned mode). A replay combination associated with the symbol combination to be stopped (hereinafter referred to as a special replay combination) is included.

  The special re-gamer (REP8 to 16) functions as a re-gamer who can grant a privilege counter in the CZ mode and the second special mode, and as shown in FIG. 29, the winning area “lower black 1” (14 No.) to “lower right black 6” (No. 37) (hereinafter referred to as “black uniform lip”).

  The black-matched lip (No. 14 to 37) has a re-playing role (hereinafter referred to as a normal re-playing role) associated with a symbol combination in which the reel does not stop in a black-aligned manner in addition to the special re-playing role. REP1, REP4, etc.) are associated with each other, and the special replay player is based on the fact that the stop button has been operated in a predetermined predetermined order (hereinafter referred to as correct answer order) at the time of winning the black lip. Based on the fact that the special re-game player is awarded with priority over the normal re-game player and the stop button is operated in a batting order other than the predetermined batting order (hereinafter referred to as an incorrect answer batting order), Is given priority over the special regamer and the normal regamer is awarded.

  As shown in FIG. 29, for example, when the stop button is operated in any of the correct hit order of hit order 1, 5, 6 when winning the lower black 1 (No. 14) in the internal lottery, the special replay When the winning combination (REP11, etc.) is won and the reels are stopped in a black-aligned mode (FIG. 28 (4), etc.), and the stop button is operated in any of the order 2 to 4, the normal A re-game player (REP1 or the like) is won and the reels are stopped in a mode other than the black uniform mode.

  In the second embodiment, when the black-equipped lip is won in the internal lottery, the sub-monitor 16 or the like is notified of the correct hit order in which the reels stop in a black-aligned manner according to the type of the AT mode in which the user stays. Specifically, in the normal AT mode, the special AT mode, and the CZ mode, the correct hit order for stopping the reels in a black-aligned manner is kept secret, and in the first special mode and the second special mode, the reels are in a black-aligned manner. The correct answer order to be stopped is notified. Then, a privilege counter is given based on the fact that the reel has stopped in a black-aligned manner at the time of winning the black-aligned lip.

  The black uniform (No. 44) has a function of shifting to the second special mode, and a black symbol is displayed at each stop position of the middle reel 6 and the right reel 7, and the black symbol becomes a so-called temper. However, a replay combination (for example, REP2) associated with a combination of symbols in which the reels stop in a mode in which the three black symbols are not aligned in a straight line (hereinafter referred to as blackening mode) is included.

  The bells (Nos. 45 to 54) have a privilege counter giving function, and a plurality of types of small roles including NML1 (first role) and the like are associated with each other. The rare combination (No. 55, No. 56) has both a function of shifting to the special CZ mode and a function of granting a privilege counter, and is associated with a small combination such as NML15 (second combination). .

  Next, the privilege processing means 120 that performs the privilege processing related to the provision of the privilege counter and the like will be described.

  The privilege processing unit 120 according to the second embodiment includes various units such as the privilege counter extraction unit 121 shown in FIG. 3 as in the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof is omitted. The lottery means (first lottery means) 125 is a privilege counter lottery (determining whether or not a privilege counter (privilege) can be granted based on the fact that the winning area “Bell” (Nos. 45 to 54) is won in the CZ mode. The special CZ transition lottery means 128 executes the first lottery) based on the fact that the winning area “rare role” (No. 55, No. 56) is won in the normal CZ mode (first state). The special CZ transition lottery (second lottery) for determining whether or not to shift to the second state) is executed, and the privilege counter granting means (granting means) 127 includes the CZ mode (normal CZ mode, special CZ mode) and the second Specialized mode A bonus counter is assigned based on the fact that the reel stop mode has become a “black uniform mode” or that the bonus counter lottery performed in the winning area “Bell” has been won. Executes the second special transition lottery that determines whether or not the transition to the second special mode is possible based on the winning of the black alignment (No. 44) in the CZ mode.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the privilege counter granting unit 127 does not execute the special CZ transition lottery when the rare role is won in the special CZ mode under the situation where the privilege counter lottery has not been won yet. A privilege counter is given, and also when the special CZ transition lottery is won twice in the rare role winning in the normal CZ mode, the privilege counter is given.

  In the first embodiment, the normal CZ mode can be shifted only in one direction from the special CZ mode (FIG. 10), but in the second embodiment, the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode are mutually Configured for migration. And in 2nd Embodiment, it is comprised so that the winning probability of privilege counter lottery may change with high probability by transfer from normal CZ mode to special CZ mode, and production mode transfer control which concerns on 2nd Embodiment The means 113 is configured to end the special CZ mode based on one game being played in the special CZ mode and shift the effect mode to the normal CZ mode. That is, the special CZ mode is an effect mode in which the player stays only for one game (predetermined period), and is an effect mode that can be expected to win the privilege counter lottery than the normal CZ mode.

  Next, the normal CZ mode process, the special CZ mode process, and the second special mode process according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Each of these processes is a process performed in the first effect mode control process (S100 in FIG. 16), that is, a process performed at the start of the game.

  First, the normal CZ mode process will be described with reference to FIG. Although not shown, the number of games that can be executed in the CZ mode (normal CZ mode, special CZ mode) (CZ number) is defined in advance as a predetermined number (for example, 7 times), as in the first embodiment. Has been.

(Step S301)
First, it is determined whether or not a privilege counter grant flag indicating that a privilege counter has already been assigned in the CZ mode is ON (S301). At this time, if the privilege counter grant flag is ON (Yes in S301), the process proceeds to step S314. If the privilege counter grant flag is not ON (No in S301), the process proceeds to step S302.

(Steps S302 to S305)
Next, it is determined whether or not the bell (No. 45 to 54) has been won by internal lottery (S302). If the bell has been won (Yes in S302), a bonus counter lottery is executed (S303). At this time, if the privilege counter lottery is won (Yes in S304), one privilege counter is assigned and the privilege counter grant flag is set to ON (S305). On the other hand, if the bell is not won (No in S302) and the bonus counter lottery is not won (No in S304), the process proceeds to step S306.

  Although illustration is omitted, when a privilege counter is given in step S305, the privilege counter “1” is added to the game information storage area 140 as in the first embodiment, and the type of the added benefit counter And the type is stored in the game information storage area 140.

(Steps S306 to S307)
Next, it is determined whether or not the black-equipped lip is won by internal lottery (S306). If the black-equipped lip is not won (No in S306), the process proceeds to step S308, and the black-equipped lip is obtained. When winning (Yes in S306), it is determined that the correct hit order in which the reels stop in a black-aligned mode is kept secret (S307), and the process proceeds to step S308.

  Although illustration is omitted, if the concealment of the correct answer order is determined in step S307, a concealment effect (for example, “?” Or “??”) that conceals the correct answer order on the sub-monitor 16 at the start of the game. The effect including an image such as “?” Is executed.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when the black-aligned lip is won in the normal CZ mode, the concealment effect is executed in which the correct hit order in which the reels stop in the black-aligned state is concealed. At this time, when the stop button is operated in the correct hit order in spite of the execution of the concealment effect, as described above, the reels are stopped in a black-aligned manner and one privilege counter is assigned (FIG. 33). reference).

(Steps S308 to S313)
Next, it is determined whether or not the rare combination (No. 55, No. 56) has been won by internal lottery (S308). If the rare combination has not been won (No in S308), the process proceeds to step S314. When the rare role is won (Yes in S308), a special CZ transition lottery is executed (S309). At this time, if the special CZ transition lottery is not won (No in S310), the process proceeds to step S314. If the special CZ transition lottery is won (Yes in S310), the special CZ transition lottery is entered. It is determined whether or not the special CZ transition completed flag indicating that the transition has already been performed is set to ON (S311). If the special CZ transition completed flag is not set to ON (No in S311), the transition to the special CZ mode is determined (S312), the process proceeds to step S314, and the special CZ transition completed flag is set. If it is set to ON (Yes in S311), that is, after having played a single game in the special CZ mode, the player has entered the normal CZ mode and won the special CZ transfer lottery again in the normal CZ mode. Therefore, when the special CZ transition lottery is won twice in total, one privilege counter is assigned and the privilege grant flag is set to ON (S313).

(Steps S314 to S317)
Next, it is determined whether or not the black alignment has been won by internal lottery (S314). If the black alignment has not been won (No in S314), the normal CZ mode processing is terminated and the black alignment is completed. Is won (S314: Yes), for example, the second specialized transition lottery is executed with a winning probability of 30% (S315). At this time, when the second special transition lottery is won (Yes in S316), the transition to the second special mode is determined (S317), and the normal CZ mode process is terminated. On the other hand, when the second special transition lottery is not won (No in S316), the normal CZ mode process is terminated without determining the transition to the second special mode.

  Next, the special CZ mode process will be described with reference to FIG. Unlike the normal CZ mode, the special CZ mode is an effect mode in which the player can stay only for one game, and the transition to the special CZ mode in the CZ mode is limited to one time. Note that the normal CZ mode process and the special CZ mode process share some processes (S351 to 356), and therefore only different processes will be described.

(Steps S357 to S358)
In step S357, it is determined whether or not a rare combination (No. 55, 56) has been won by internal lottery. If a rare combination has not been won (No in S357), the process proceeds to step S359. On the other hand, when a rare role is won (Yes in S357), one privilege counter is granted and the privilege grant flag is turned on without executing a privilege counter lottery that determines whether or not a privilege counter can be granted. (S358).

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the bonus counter is always given in the rare role winning in the special CZ mode in which only one game can stay.

(Steps S359 to S364)
Next, it is determined whether or not the black alignment is won in the internal lottery (S359). If the black alignment is selected (Yes in S359), the second special transition performed in the normal CZ mode is performed. The second specialized transfer lottery is executed with a winning probability of, for example, 50%, which is higher than the winning probability of the lottery (S360). At this time, when the second special transition lottery is won (Yes in S361), the transition to the second special mode is determined (S362), and the special CZ mode process is terminated. On the other hand, if the black alignment is not won (No in S359), the special CZ transition completed flag is set to ON (S363), the transition to the normal CZ mode is determined (S364), and the special CZ mode is selected. End the process.

  Next, the second specialization mode process will be described with reference to FIG. Although not shown, as in the first embodiment, the number of games that can be executed in the second special mode (second special number) is defined in advance as a predetermined number (for example, five times). .

(Steps S371 to S374)
First, it is determined whether or not a winning area other than the black-equipped lip has been won in the internal lottery (S371). If the winning area other than the black-equipped lip is won (Yes in S371), the bonus counter lottery is selected. Execute (S372). At this time, if the privilege counter lottery is won (Yes in S373), one privilege counter is given (S374). On the other hand, if the bonus counter lottery is not won (No in S373), the process proceeds to step S375.

(Steps S375 to S376)
Next, it is determined whether or not the black-equipped lip is won in the internal lottery (S375). If the black-equipped lip is not won (No in S375), the second specialization mode process is terminated, and the black If the matching lip is won (Yes in S375), it is determined to notify the correct hitting order in which the reels stop in a black aligned mode (S376), and the second specialized mode process is terminated.

  Although illustration is omitted, if it is determined in step S375 that the correct hitting order in which the reels stop in a black-aligned manner is determined, it corresponds to the type of black-aligned lip determined in the internal lottery at the start of the game. The sub-monitor 16 executes the batting order effect related to the correct batting order. When the stop button is operated in accordance with this batting order effect, the reels are stopped in a black uniform manner.

  Next, a privilege control process for giving a privilege when the reels are stopped in a black uniform manner will be described with reference to FIG. The privilege control process is a process performed in the second effect mode control process (S200 in FIG. 16), that is, a process performed at the end of the game.

(Steps S401 to S402)
First, it is determined whether or not the reel is stopped in a black-aligned mode (S401). At this time, if the reel is stopped in a black-aligned mode (Yes in S401), one privilege counter is assigned, and the process proceeds to step S403. If the reel is not stopped in a black-aligned mode ( In No) in S401, the privilege control process is terminated without giving a privilege counter.

(Steps S403 to S404)
Next, it is determined whether or not the type of the effect mode in which the user is staying is the CZ mode (normal CZ mode, special CZ mode) (S403). At this time, if it is in the CZ mode (Yes in S403), the privilege counter grant flag is set to ON and the privilege control process is terminated. If not in the CZ mode (No in S403), that is, the staying effect When the mode type is the second special mode, the privilege control process is terminated without setting the privilege counter grant flag to ON.

  In the second embodiment, the bonus counter is not granted in the normal CZ mode, that is, the privilege counter grant flag is OFF (No in S301), and only when a rare role is won (Yes in S308). In addition, the transition to the special CZ mode is possible (S312), and the transition to the special CZ mode is impossible when the privilege counter grant flag is ON (Yes in S301). That is, at the beginning of the transition to the special CZ mode, the privilege counter grant flag is set to OFF. For this reason, in the special CZ mode, the bonus counter lottery is executed by the winning of the bell (No in S351) without performing the process of confirming the ON / OFF of the privilege counter grant flag (S352). ). When a privilege count is given during stay in the CZ mode and the privilege counter grant flag is set to ON (Yes in S301), even if the winning of the bell is won, the privilege counter lottery is not executed. On the other hand, in the second special mode, regardless of whether or not a privilege counter is given, a privilege counter lottery is executed based on the winning of the winning area other than the black-equipped lip, and based on the winning of the black-equipped lip The privilege counter is always granted.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since the privilege counter lottery is executed in the winning of the bell (first role) before the privilege counter is granted (S303, S353), the bell before the privilege counter is granted. The player's interest can be attracted to the winning.

  In the second embodiment, the special CZ transition lottery is executed by winning the rare role (second role) before the privilege counter is granted (S309), and the special CZ mode lottery is performed by winning the special CZ transition lottery (S309). In the special CZ mode, both the winning probability of the benefit counter lottery and the winning probability of the second special transition lottery are higher than the normal CZ mode. For this reason, the winning of the rare combination in the normal CZ mode can give a sense of expectation for the provision of the privilege counter.

  Further, in the second embodiment, since it is possible to stay only in one game in the special CZ mode in which both the winning probability of the privilege counter lottery and the winning probability of the second special transition lottery are high, The special CZ mode can be used as a one-chance production mode to increase its presence value and improve game playability.

  In the second embodiment, the stay period of the special CZ mode is set to two times on the assumption that the production mode transitions so that the transition to the normal CZ mode can be made again after the transition from the normal CZ mode to the special CZ mode. A configuration in which a period in which a game is performed or a period in which three games are performed may be employed.

  Furthermore, in the second embodiment, after the transition to the special CZ mode (second state) by winning the rare role (second role) in the normal CZ mode (first state), the player stays only for one game. A configuration in which a privilege counter is granted based on the fact that the rare role is won again in the special CZ mode (the second condition is established, Yes in S357), that is, the privilege counter grant flag is OFF (the first condition is not established) ), When a rare combination is won twice in succession, a privilege counter is given without executing a privilege counter lottery. In other words, because it is configured to rewrite the result of the bonus counter lottery in the consecutive winning of the rare role (the bonus grant flag is set from OFF to ON), the player's interest in winning the rare role is strong Can attract.

  In the second embodiment, when a special role is won in the special CZ mode and a privilege counter is granted (by consecutive winning of the rare role), the normal CZ mode is entered again. Even if you win, the process related to the granting of benefits is not performed, that is, it is not configured to give the player the benefits of winning three consecutive times for the rare role, but not limited to this configuration, 3 times In the above rare combination continuous winning, for example, a configuration in which a privilege counter is additionally given may be used, or a configuration in which the second special mode specialized for acquisition of the privilege counter is shifted may be used.

  Further, in the second embodiment, since a privilege counter is given based on the fact that the reels are stopped in a black alignment mode, the black alignment mode that gives a strong impression to the player can reliably notify the provision of the bonus counter. it can.

  In the CZ mode, the correct hitting order in which the reels stop in the black-aligned mode is kept secret from the player when the black-aligned lip is won, so that the appearance rate of the black-aligned mode in the CZ mode is not increased. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the privilege counter from being excessively granted. On the other hand, in the second specialized mode, when the black-equipped lip is won, the player is notified of the correct hit order in which the reels stop in the black-equipped manner, so that the appearance rate of the black-equipped manner in the second specialized mode is increased. The provision rate of the privilege counter is increased with a higher probability than in the CZ mode. As described above, in the second embodiment, the bonus counter grant rate is changed according to the presence / absence of notification of the correct hit order in which the reels stop in a black-aligned mode, and the bonus counter grant rate is the normal CZ mode. The second specialization mode with a high probability of providing the counter is created. Therefore, with the transition from the CZ mode to the second specialization mode, it is possible to change the bonus counter grant rate without changing the winning probability of the black uniform lip.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the winning order of the bell in the CZ mode (S301, S351), the operation sequence of the stop button (S306, S356, S401) at the time of the black uniform lip winning in the CZ mode, the black in the second special mode. It is possible to grant a bonus counter by winning a winning area other than the uniform lip (S371), and a special counter is always obtained by winning the rare role in the special CZ mode (S357) and winning the black uniform lip in the second special mode (S357). Therefore, it is possible to secure a sufficient opportunity for the provision of a privilege counter and improve game playability.

  In the second embodiment, the CZ mode is divided into the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode, and even if the bonus counter lottery is not won, a bonus counter is given by continuous winning of rare roles. However, the CZ mode may not be divided into the normal CZ mode and the special CZ mode. Even in the case of such a configuration, a privilege counter is provided by continuous winning of rare roles. In other words, the grant means for granting a privilege counter (privilege) based on the winning of the privilege counter lottery in CZ mode (establishment of the first condition) and the special based on the winning of the rare role in CZ mode (establishing the second condition) Control means for setting a flag and controlling the special flag to be released based on elapse of a period (predetermined period) in which one game is performed from the setting of the special flag. Even if the bonus counter lottery is not won (the first condition is not established) based on the fact that the flag is set and the rare role is won (the second condition is established) Is granted.

  Further, in the second embodiment, a bonus counter is given based on the fact that the reels are stopped in a black-aligned manner in which three black symbols are aligned in a straight line, and the black punching in which the three black symbols are not aligned in a straight line is provided. In order to execute the second special transition lottery based on the fact that the reels have stopped in this mode (winning of black alignment (No. 44)), the two reels are stopped and one reel is rotating. When one black symbol becomes a so-called temper, one of granting of a privilege counter and execution of the second special transition lottery is decided. Thereby, a player can pay attention to the stop mode of a reel, and gameability can be improved.

  In the second embodiment, the privilege counter granting means (right granting means) 127 has not yet been won in the privilege counter lottery performed by winning the “bell” in the normal CZ mode (first state). Even if (regardless of the establishment of the first condition), on the basis of the fact that the “rare role” is won in the special CZ mode (second state) (the second condition is established), (The right to execute), and the extra lottery means 123 and the advantageous AT shift lottery means 124 (hereinafter referred to as privilege processing execution means) are games that have a special AT number of “1” remaining in the special AT mode (special At the start of the final game in the AT mode (when the special game end condition is satisfied), the privilege processing (the extra lottery, the advantageous AT transition lottery) is executed, but this configuration is limited. The privilege processing execution means, at the end of the final game in the special AT mode (when the special game end condition is satisfied), the special AT number becomes an odd number of times such as “1” and “7” in the special AT mode. The special AT mode is an even number such as “4” or “6”, and the privilege processing is executed based on the execution of the special game (game in the special AT mode). May be.

  In the first and second embodiments, the number of games (special games) that can be executed in the special AT mode (the number of special ATs) is set to a predetermined number (for example, 10 times) in advance, and this number of special ATs remains. 1 ”, that is, based on the fact that the special AT mode end condition (special game end condition) is satisfied, the privilege processing (additional lottery, advantageous AT shift lottery) is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the number of times that the stop button operation order that can be executed in the special AT mode is notified (the number of times the batting order effect is executed, so-called the number of times of navigation) is set in advance to a predetermined number (for example, 10 times). In the mode, the bonus process is executed based on the fact that the number of executions of the batting order effect has reached the upper limit predetermined number of times (the special game end condition is satisfied), and the special AT mode is ended after the bonus process is executed. The number of executions of the batting order effect performed in the special AT mode may have reached an odd number of times such as “1” or “3” or an even number of times such as “2” or “4”. For example, the configuration may be such that the privilege processing is executed during the special AT mode, that is, the privilege processing is executed based on the execution of the special game.

  Further, in the first and second embodiments, as described above, whether or not to continue the special AT mode based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the special AT mode (for example, that a predetermined role is won). When a configuration is adopted in which the special AT mode is terminated when the continuous lottery (the end lottery for determining whether or not to end the special AT mode) is executed and the continuous lottery is not won (when the final lottery is won) Based on the fact that the continuous lottery is not won in the special AT mode (the special game end condition is satisfied) (the end lottery is won), the bonus processing (additional lottery, advantageous AT transition lottery) is executed. You may do it.

  In the first and second embodiments, the number of games (special games) that can be executed in the special AT mode (special AT count) is specified in advance, and the specified special AT count becomes “1”. Based on the above, the bonus processing (additional lottery, advantageous AT shift lottery) is executed and the special AT mode is terminated. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. If the bonus counter is stored in the game information storage area 140 at the end of the normal AT mode, the special AT is set after the end of the normal AT mode. Mode, the subtraction of the number of normal ATs is interrupted in the special AT mode, and the privilege processing is executed at the end of the special AT mode. The special game that interrupts the subtraction of the normal number of ATs is given to the player a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) (the special AT mode in which the subtraction of the normal AT number is interrupted) (Configuration). In this case, privilege processing based on the execution of the special game, such as having executed the special game a predetermined number of times in the special AT mode, or having executed the special game in the special AT mode a specific number of times such as an even number or an odd number To execute.

  Further, in the first and second embodiment examples, in the final game of the special AT mode, an extra lottery for determining whether or not to add the number of normal ATs (first privilege) that can be executed in the normal AT mode, and privilege grant It is configured to execute both the advantageous AT transition lottery that determines whether or not the transition to the CZ mode or the first specialized mode (second privilege) with a high expected value is possible based on the privilege counter, It is not restricted to this structure, It replaces with any one of an addition lottery and an advantageous AT transfer lottery, The structure which performs the privilege counter lottery which determines whether the grant of a privilege counter is given, ie, provision of normal AT frequency (1st privilege) For determining whether or not to grant a privilege counter (second privilege), or whether to grant a privilege counter (first privilege) and whether to shift to the first special mode (second privilege) of May be configured, in the final game of the special AT mode, whether or not the normal number of ATs (first privilege) can be granted, whether or not to shift to the first special mode (second privilege), and privilege The configuration may be such that all of the granting of the counter (third privilege) is executed.

  In the first and second embodiments, the first special mode, the second special mode, and the like are provided as presentation modes that can be changed in the AT mode. However, the first special mode and the second special mode are not limited to this configuration. The specialization mode, the second specialization mode, or the like may be a production mode that can be changed within the non-AT mode. Specifically, the non-AT mode is divided into a normal non-AT mode, a special non-AT mode, a first special mode, a CZ mode, and a second special mode. In the normal non-AT mode, an initial value (for example, “500”). ) Is changed every time the game is executed, and when the parameter value reaches a specific value (for example, “0”, “1000”, etc.), an AT lottery for determining whether or not to enter the AT mode is performed. In the special non-AT mode, the special lottery is used to change the parameter value so as to approach a specific value based on the acquired benefit counter, and to execute the AT lottery after the special non-AT mode ends. A bonus process that executes both the first specialization mode and the reward lottery that can realize the transition to the CZ mode in which the bonus counter can be acquired, and according to the result of the variable lottery in this bonus process The parameter value is changed so as to be close to a specific value, the AT lottery time that is normally performed in the non-AT mode is advanced, and the first special mode or the CZ mode is ended after the special non-AT mode is ended depending on the result of the reward lottery. When a transition is made to the first special mode, an AT lottery is performed every time a game is executed in the first special mode, and when a transition is made to the CZ mode, the first and second implementations are performed. As with the embodiment, a privilege counter lottery that determines whether or not a privilege count can be granted according to the result of the internal lottery, and whether or not it is possible to shift to the second specialized mode that specializes in obtaining a privilege counter rather than the CZ mode To be determined. If it does in this way, the transition of the production mode in non-AT mode can be diversified, and the game nature in non-AT mode can be improved.

  Further, in the first and second embodiments, as described above, when the special AT mode, the first special mode, the CZ mode, and the second special mode are changed to the effect mode that can be changed in the non-AT mode. As in the first to fourth modifications in the first embodiment, the normal non-AT mode, special non-AT mode, first special mode, CZ mode, and second special mode in the non-AT mode The structure which gives the game point used as the opportunity to transfer to any production mode in other production modes may be sufficient. Specifically, based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the first effect mode (for example, the normal non-AT mode and the special non-AT mode) in which the expected value for granting the privileges is different, the second effect mode (for example, the first effect mode) A determination unit that determines whether or not to give a game point that triggers a transition to a special mode, a CZ mode, or a second special mode), a grant unit that grants a game point by determining a game point grant, The storage means for accumulating the granted gaming points and the changing means for changing the rate of giving the gaming points are provided, and the changing means grants a privilege as compared to the normal non-AT mode in which the expected value of the privilege grant is low. For game points awarded in the special non-AT mode with a higher expected value, the game point grant rate is changed so that the game point grant rate is higher, or the special non-AT mode is given. Who game points assigned in the normal non-AT mode than is to vary the applied rate of game points as giving rate of game points increases. If it does in this way, since the grant rate of a game point can be fluctuate | varied according to the expected value of privilege provision, the game property in non-AT mode can further be improved.
