The weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, and watermelon 1 are the trigger for execution of the advantageous section transition lottery, but the normal replay, weak cherry 2, watermelon 2, batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13, batting order Replay 21 to batting order replay 26 and batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36 are not triggers for execution of the advantageous section transition lottery.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination is the same in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6, and the internal lottery table 4 <internal lottery table 5 <internal lottery table 1 <internal lottery table 2 < The winning probability of replay is higher in the order of the internal lottery table 3. In the internal lottery table 7, the small winning combination is won with a higher probability than the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6, and the replay is not a lottery target. In the internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 5, the winning probability of weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, and watermelon 1 among the winning modes of replay is the same in any of the internal lottery tables. There is.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, regular bonus (RB) and big bonus (BB) are prepared as bonus, and in internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 5, regular bonus (RB) and big bonus (BB) are prepared. Although the internal lottery table 6 and the internal lottery table 7 are selected as the lottery targets, both the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the gaming state includes the normal state, the RB establishment state (an example of the bonus establishment state), the RB state (an example of the bonus state), the BB establishment state (an example of the bonus establishment state), and the BB state (An example of the bonus state) can be set, and the non-RT state, the RT1 state, the RT2 state, the RT3 state, and the RT4 state can be set as the RT state (replay lottery state). According to the gaming state and the RT state, any one of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  And in this embodiment, in internal lottery table 1-internal lottery table 6, although the probability that each of a winning combination of a small winning combination is obtained by internal lottery is the same, the winning probability of common bell 2 differs according to a setting value ing. In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, the common bell 1 is fixed at a winning probability of about 1/64 at any set value, while the common bell 2 is set. Depending on the value, the winning probability changes in the range of about 1 / 73.1 to about 1 / 42.6, and as the setting value increases from setting 1 to setting 6, the lottery result of winning common bell 2 is the internal lottery The probability of being obtained by is high. In the present embodiment, the winning probability does not change depending on the setting value for the winning mode of the small winning combination other than the common bell 1 as well as the common bell 1.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 are referred to according to the RT state and the gaming state, and the winning mode of the replay can be obtained in the internal lottery by the RT state fluctuation and the gaming state fluctuation. Although the probability changes, the winning probability does not change depending on the setting value in any of the replay winning modes.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, the probability that each of the bonus winning modes is obtained in the internal lottery is the same, but according to the set value, the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) is It is different. In the present embodiment, in particular, the big bonus (BB) and the regular bonus (RB) are provided as the bonus, but as shown in FIG. 8B, the big bonus (BB) is internally set at any setting value. While the winning probability in the lottery is constant at about 1/1024, the regular bonus (RB) changes in the range of about 1/512 to about 1/256 according to the set value, and each bonus is won When the probabilities are summed up, the probability that any one of the bonuses is won changes in the range of about 1/341 to about 1/204 according to the set value, and as the set value becomes higher as set 1 to set 6, either There is a high probability that the lottery result for winning the bonus will be obtained by the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (random number for lottery) is acquired from the random number generation unit 110 for each game, and the acquired random number value is provided in the main ROM of the game information storage unit 190a. It is determined with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the selected main lottery table storage area 1910 whether or not the winning combination has been won.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is switched from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state) , On). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations that are won in duplicate is set in the winning state. The setting information of the lottery flag is stored in the lottery flag storage area 1915 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag capable of carrying over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until the winning and the winning state for the next and subsequent games are not carried over regardless of the winning A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) to be reset to the winning state is prepared. As the role to which the former carry-over possible flag is associated, there is a bonus, and the minor role and the replay are correlated to the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, a process of carrying over the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is performed until the big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay have been made even in the game carried over with the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB). The same applies to the case where the regular bonus (RB) is won, and once the regular bonus (RB) is won, the winning state of the regular bonus (RB) lottery flag is carried over until the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the regular bonus Even in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the bonus (RB) is carried over, an internal lottery for determining whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are made is performed. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, if the small winning combination or the replay is won, the bonus winning lottery flag and the small winning combination won in the internal lottery A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winnings, including a lottery flag of replay or, is set in a winning state.

  The reel control means 130 starts the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 operated by the player by the game start operation to the start lever SL. The stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are constantly rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: about 80 rotations per minute) are pressed. Control to activate the stop operation due to the control, and to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode according to the setting state of the lottery flag (the result of the internal lottery) I do.

  Then, the reel control means 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 while the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated. By supplying drive pulses of all phase excitation to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 based on the signal, control is performed to stop the respective reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel control unit 130 determines and determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. Control is performed to stop the reel at the stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. It is supposed to be. When stopping the reels being rotated within 190 ms from the time the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is the number of frames required for the reels to stop from the time the stop button is stopped It is determined in the range of 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to B3, the symbol corresponding to the combination won in the internal lottery is the stop button The symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is the effective line when the display position on the effective line is positioned within the range of 0 to 4 with respect to the display position on the effective line when the pressing operation for Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so as to be displayed at the upper display position.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, with respect to the outer peripheral surface of 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 which comprise the reel unit 310, red 7 design "red 7", white 7 design "white 7" , BAR symbol "BAR", special symbol "SP", replay symbol "RP", bell symbol A "BLA", bell symbol B "BLB", watermelon symbol A "WMA", watermelon symbol B "WMB", and cherry symbol When "CH" is arranged and the symbols present within 4 frames from the pressing detection position are drawn onto the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are stopped It is possible to display on the effective line regardless of the press detection position which is the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the switch 240 (at the time when press of the stop button is detected).

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 is provided with a reel index 315 composed of a photo sensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on the reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 each time the reel rotates once. So that the current rotational state of the reel can be monitored by determining the rotational angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotating shaft of the stepping motor) from the reference position of the reel (the frame detected by the reel index 315). It has become. That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240 by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  Further, the reel control means 130 performs processing (logic operation) for determining the stop position of the reel being rotated according to the priority, and the stop stored in the stop control table storage area 1911 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a. A process (table reference process) of determining the stop position of the rotating reel with reference to the control table is performed.

  First, in the logic operation, priority is given to all the pieces in each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in accordance with the priority set in advance corresponding to the combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state based on the result of the internal lottery. The degree is calculated, and when the stop operation is performed, the data of the priority of the candidate for the stop position for five frames within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position of the stop target reel is extracted Then, the candidate of the stop position having the highest priority among the candidates of each stop position is determined as an actual stop position. However, in the logic operation, there are cases where the same priority is given to the plurality of stop position candidates depending on the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state, the pressing detection position, etc. If there are a plurality of position candidates, the actual stop position is determined by the stop position obtained by table reference processing described later.

  Particularly, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority is determined in the order of "replay> bonus" and "small part> bonus", and in the logic operation, the lottery flags for two or more types of winnings are set to winning status. In the case where there is, according to the priority order associated with each combination, the candidates for the stop position including the symbols that make up the winning combination of the higher priority combination include the symbols that make up the winning combination of the lower priority combination. The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidate for the stop position.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priorities for the candidates for the stop position when a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery are determined according to the number of medals paid out based on the predetermined payout for the small winning combination. A stop position where the priority is determined and the number of medal payouts based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed on the display position on the activated line is increased (a small winning combination with a high payout can be won The priority of each stop position candidate is determined such that the higher the priority is, the closer the position is. However, when the priority for the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the stop position can be made to win each small combination if the small combination with the same payout is won in duplicate. The priority for each candidate is treated as the same, for example, when winning a batting bell, the number of medals paid out is the same regardless of which of the minors included in each winning mode has won. Since the payout is set, there may be two or more candidates for the stop position given the same priority among the candidates for the stop positions for five frames with respect to the pressing detection position.

  Also, when the gaming state is the RB establishment state or the BB establishment state, since the winning of the small combination is prioritized over the bonus, when the winning combination of the small combination is obtained in the RB establishment state or the BB establishment state, When the symbols constituting the winning combination of the small winning combination included in the winning combination are displayed on the activated line, priority is required so that the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) winnings can be avoided.

  Further, in the logic operation, so-called pull-in processing and kicking-off processing are performed as processing for obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining the priority of the candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining the priority of the candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the combination with the lottery flag set to the non-winning state can not be won. As described above, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the non-winning state is in the form of winning. A logic operation is performed to find a candidate for the stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of candidates for the highest priority stop position are obtained as a result of performing the logic operation, the main ROM of the game information storage unit 190a is provided with which position to use as the stop position. The determination is made with reference to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage area 1911.

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

  In the present embodiment, with regard to the batting bell 1 to the batting bell 12, as shown in FIG. 10, the correct batting order is set for each batting bell, and the pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as the incorrect answering order. .

  Then, in the stop control table which is referred to when any of the batting bell 1 to the batting bell 4 is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are the correct batting order for stopping the first reel R1 first. When pressed, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the small winning combination 1 wins, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order for stopping the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 first. If it is judged that one of the two kinds of small winning combination of the small winning combination 1 to the small winning combination among the small winning combination 3 to 10 and either of the small winning combination is not winning, RT fluctuation blank The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set such that there is a case where a symbol combination indicating (RT fluctuation blank 1 to RT fluctuation blank 3) is displayed on the effective line.

  In addition, in the stop control table to be referred to when any of the batting bell 5 to the batting bell 8 is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are in the correct batting order for stopping the second reel R2 first. When pressed, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the small winning combination 2 wins, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order for stopping the first reel R1 or the third reel R3 first. If any of the two types of small winning combination of the small winning combination 2 and the small winning combination of the small winning combination 3 to 10 is won, and the small winning combination of any small winning combination, RT fluctuation blank The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set such that there is a case where a symbol combination indicating (RT fluctuation blank 1 to RT fluctuation blank 3) is displayed on the effective line.

  In addition, in the stop control table to be referred to when any of batting bell 9 to batting bell 12 is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are the correct batting order in which the third reel R3 is stopped first. When pressed, the stop position for the pressed detection position is set so that the small winning combination 2 wins, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order to stop the first reel R1 first, the small position When one of the two types of small winning combination overlapping with the small winning combination 2 among the winning combination 3 to the small winning combination 10 wins, and any small winning combination without winning any RT variation blank (RT variation blank 1 When there is a case where a symbol combination indicating any of ~ RT fluctuation blank 3 is displayed on the effective line, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order for stopping the second reel R2 first. , The symbol combination showing RT fluctuation blank (either RT fluctuation blank 4 or RT fluctuation blank 5) when any of combination 11 to small combination 14 wins and neither small combination wins on the effective line The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set such that there is a case where it is displayed.

  Even when the batting bell is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, since the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2 is won in the correct hitting order, and the small hit is incorrect There is a case where another small combination winning in combination with the combination 1 and the small combination 2 wins and a combination of symbols showing the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line without any combination winnings. The stop position for the pressing detection position is set as follows. In this embodiment, at the time when the first stop operation is performed when the batting order bell is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the symbols constituting any winning combination of any of the small winning combinations are always displayed on the activated line. By doing so, regular bonus (RB) and big bonus (BB) winnings are avoided, so even if any of the minors included in the batting order wins, regular bonus (RB) ) And Big Bonus (BB) won't win.

  When the batting order bell is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of small winning combination to be prioritized changes according to the pressing order. For example, the RB established state or the BB established At the time of winning the batting order bell in the state, regardless of the pressing order, priority is given to the winnings of the other small winnings overlapping with the small winnings 1 and 2 rather than the winnings of the small winnings 1 and 2 The stop position may be determined. In addition, in one game state of RB establishment state and BB establishment state, it wins small part 1 and small part 2 in the depression order at the time of winning of the batting bell, and in the other game state, in any depression order at the winning of the batting bell The stop position may be determined so as to win the other small winning combination which has been winning over the small winning combination 1 and the small winning combination 2, and in this way, the winning combination of the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2 An index can be given to the player to estimate which bonus is won according to the frequency. That is, the control rules for determining the stop position at the time of winning the batting bell may be different between the RB established state and the BB established state.

  Further, in the stop control table to be referred to when the common bell 1 is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the pressing detection position so that the small winning combination 1 wins even if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any pressing order. The stop position for is set. Further, in the stop control table referred to when the common bell 2 is won, the small winning combination to be paid is different according to the reel to be stopped first, and as shown in FIG. 10, the first reel R1 is stopped first. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the batting order 1 (one example of the specific operation order) or the batting order 2 (one example of the specified operation order), the small winning combination 1 wins, and the batting order causes the second reel R2 to stop first. When the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed along 3 or batting order 4, one of the minors 11 to 14 wins, and the batting order 5 is to stop the third reel R3 first (an example of the specific operation order) Alternatively, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in accordance with the batting order 6 (an example of the specific operation order), the stop position for the press detection position is set such that the small winning combination 2 wins.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, with regard to the batting order replay 11 to the batting order replay 13, the batting order replay 21 to the batting order replay 26, and the batting order replay 31 to the batting order replay 36 in the internal lottery, correct answers to the batting order replays are shown. A batting order is set, and a pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as an incorrect batting order.

  Then, in the stop control table to be referred to when any of batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, replay 1 or replay 2 wins When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the stop position for the press detection position is set such that Replay 3 wins.

  In addition, in the stop control table to be referred to when any of batting order replay 21 to batting order replay 26 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the batting order, replay 4 wins, and wrong answer When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that Replay 5 or Replay 6 wins.

  In the stop control table to be referred to when any of batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the batting order, replay 1 or replay 2 is won When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the stop position for the press detection position is set such that Replay 5 or Replay 6 wins.

  In the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when the normal replay is won, the stop position for the pressed detection position is set so that Replay 1 wins regardless of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. There is. Also, in the stop control table referenced when any of weak cherry 1, weak cherry 2, strong cherry A, and strong cherry B is won, replay 8 is won regardless of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table which is referred to when either the watermelon 1 or the watermelon 2 is won, the stop position with respect to the depression detection position is set such that the replay 7 wins.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process of determining whether or not the winning combination has been won based on the stop modes of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, all of the first to third reels R1 to R3 stopped while referring to the prize determination table stored in the prize determination table storage area 1912 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage unit 190a. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination displayed on the activated line at the time is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the big bonus (BB), the regular bonus (RB), the replay 1 to replay 8 and the small part are displayed by the symbol combination displayed on the activated line when each reel is stopped. A prize determination table is prepared so that it can be determined whether there is a winning of 1 to small winnings 16 or the display of the RT fluctuation blank (RT fluctuation blank 1 to RT fluctuation blank 5).

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 when the winning combination is won. As the winning process, for example, when the small winning combination is achieved, the payout control means 150 performs payout control process of the medal, and when the replay is winning, the replay process means 160 performs the replay process, and the bonus is given. When winning, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs gaming state transition control processing to shift the gaming state. Further, when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the effective line in a state in which all the reels are stopped, the RT control means 173 performs control to change the RT state according to the displayed symbol combination. .

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing regarding payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when the small winning combination is won, the payout number of medals in the game is determined based on the payout predetermined for each winning combination, and the medal corresponding to the determined payout number is added to the hopper unit HP ( Control to make the payout device pay out.

  The hopper unit HP performs an operation of paying out the medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit HP is equipped with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 actually receives the signal from the payout medal detection switch 325 from the hopper unit HP. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  If credit storage (retention storage) of medals is permitted, the credit information storage area 1914 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit HP. A credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the stored number of credits (the number of medals stored in the credit) is performed to virtually pay out the medals.

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

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the gaming state transition control means 170 is in the normal state, the RB established state (an example of the bonus established state), the RB state (an example of the bonus state), the BB established state (an example of the bonus established state). And gaming state transition control processing for transitioning the gaming state between BB states (an example of a bonus state). In the present embodiment, information indicating the staying gaming state is stored in the gaming state storage area 1916 provided in the main RAM of the gaming information storage unit 190a. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It is possible to shift to another game state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and the defined insertion number is set to three, and the transition from the normal state to the RB established state and the BB established state becomes possible. There is. Specifically, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the RB established state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the BB established state. In the normal state, of internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an internal lottery table 1 to an internal lottery in which a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB) are set as lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to any one of the tables 5 according to the RT state.

  The RB establishment state is a gaming state in which the transition is triggered by having won the regular bonus (RB) in the internal lottery. In the RB establishment state, the predetermined insertion number is set to three, and among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 6 in which both (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are excluded from the lottery targets and the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  In addition, in the RB establishment state, whether or not the small winning combination and replay are determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the regular bonus (RB) is maintained in the winning state until the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) is won When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the effective line, the gaming state transition control means 170 causes the gaming state to transition from the RB establishment state to the RB state based on the winning of the regular bonus (RB).

  The RB state is a gaming state in which a transition is made in response to a symbol combination indicating a winning form of regular bonus (RB) being displayed on the activated line. In the RB state, the predetermined insertion number is set to two, and among the internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of the small winning combination is higher than that of internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 6. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 7 which is set high and the replay is excluded from the lottery targets. That is, in the RB state, the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state in that the small winning combination is more frequently won than in the normal state.

  Also, in the RB state, it is determined whether the termination condition is satisfied based on the number of times the small winning combination in the RB state and the number of games are played, whether the number of winnings in the small winning combination becomes a predetermined number of times (for example, eight times) When the number of games in the state reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times), the game state transition control means 170 ends the RB state based on that one of the conditions is satisfied, and returns the game state to the normal state. Let In the present embodiment, count information on the number of times the small winning combination in the RB state or the number of games in the RB state is stored in the game state storage area 1916.

  The BB establishment state is a gaming state in which the transition is triggered by having won the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery. In the BB establishment state, the number of prescribed inputs is set to three, and among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the success or failure of the small winning combination is determined with the same probability as the normal state, and regular bonus An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 6 in which both (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are excluded from the lottery targets and the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  In addition, in the BB establishment state, whether or not the small winning combination and replay are determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, the big bonus (BB) prize is won When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the effective line, the gaming state transition control means 170 causes the gaming state to transition from the BB established state to the BB state based on the winning of the big bonus (BB).

  The BB state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. In the BB state, the prescribed insertion number is set to two, and among the internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of the small winning combination is higher than that of internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 6. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 7 which is set high and the replay is excluded from the lottery targets. That is, in the BB state, the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state in that the small winning combination is more frequently won than in the normal state.

  In the BB state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game in the BB state, and medals exceeding the predetermined number of scheduled ending payouts (for example, 300) When is paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the BB state and returns the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, count information on the number of payouts in the BB state is stored in the gaming state storage area 1916.

  As shown in FIG. 15B, the RT control means 173 is in non-RT state (non-replay time state), RT1 state (first replay time state), RT2 state (second replay time state), and RT3 state (second 3) Perform RT transition control processing to shift the RT state between the 3 replay time states) and the RT4 state (the fourth replay time state). In the present embodiment, the information indicating the staying RT state is stored in the RT state storage area 1917 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery mode of replays differs depending on the RT state, and specifically, at least one of the combinations of replay winning probability, types of replays to be lottery targets, and replays winning in duplicate are different. ing. That is, when the RT state changes, the winning probability of some or all replays may be different before and after the change. As the transition condition of the RT state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the RT state is determined based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It can be transitioned to another RT state. In the present embodiment, regardless of which RT state is transitioned in the normal state, the winning probability of weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, and watermelon 1 before and after transition of RT state Is supposed to be stable.

  The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and from the non-RT state, transition to the RT1 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating RT fluctuation blank (one of RT fluctuation blank 1 to RT fluctuation blank 5) is displayed on the effective line in the non-RT state, the state shifts to the RT1 state, and in the non-RT state When the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 5 or Replay 6 is displayed on the activated line (when Replay 5 or Replay 6 has won), the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the non-RT state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, normal replay as a winning mode of replay, batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1 in which Cherry B and watermelon 1 are set, and the probability of winning the replay is set to about 1 / 5.0. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state when a predetermined number of (for example, 32) games are played in the RT3 state.

  The RT1 state is an RT state in which a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line as a transition, and transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 4 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (when Replay 4 wins), it shifts to the RT2 state, and in the RT1 state, Replay 5 or Replay 6 is performed. When the symbol combination indicating the winning form is displayed on the activated line (when Replay 5 or Replay 6 has won), the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the RT1 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay as a winning mode of replay, batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36, batting order replay 21 to batting order replay 26, weak cherry An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 2 in which a strong cherry A, a strong cherry B, and a watermelon 1 are set, and the replay probability of winning is set to about 1 / 2.5. In the present embodiment, the RT state shifts to the RT1 state also when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 3 is displayed on the activated line (when Replay 3 wins), and Replay 3 wins in the RT2 state. Then, the RT state shifts to the RT1 state.

  The RT2 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 4 is displayed on the activated line as a trigger, and a transition from the RT2 state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating RT fluctuation blank (one of RT fluctuation blank 1 to RT fluctuation blank 5) is displayed on the effective line in the RT2 state, or the symbol combination indicating Replay 3 winning mode is If it is displayed on the activated line (if Replay 3 wins), it shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry as a winning mode of replay. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 in which B and watermelon 1 are set and the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 2.0.

  The RT3 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 5 or Replay 6 is displayed on the activated line as a trigger, and transition from the RT3 state to the non-RT state is possible. ing. Specifically, a value "32" corresponding to 32 times which is the number of times of the game which becomes an end condition of the RT state in the RT game number counter 1918 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a when shifting to the RT3 state. Is set, and every time one game is performed in the RT3 state, for example, a value corresponding to one game from the value of the RT game number counter 1918 triggered by depression of the start lever SL. When the value of the RT game number counter 1918 reaches the initial value “0”, the RT state control means 173 determines that the termination condition of the RT3 state is satisfied, and the RT state is determined. Transition to non-RT state. In the RT3 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, and watermelon 1 are set as the winning mode of replay. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 4 in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3. In the RT3 state, no transition of the RT state occurs even if a symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line.

  The RT4 state is an RT state in which transition is made upon termination of the BB state or the RB state, and transition from the RT4 state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank (one of the RT fluctuation blank 1 to RT fluctuation blank 5) in the RT4 state is displayed on the effective line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT4 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, and watermelon 1 are set as replay winning modes. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the probability of winning the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the privilege giving means 175 is in the non-AT state, the fake high certain state, the high certain state, the precursor state, the AT ready state, the AT state, the special AT state, the AT end standby state, and the initialization standby state. The rendering state is changed among a plurality of types of rendering states including a, the rendering state is set to the AT state (assist time state) under predetermined conditions, and the values of the AT set number counter 1921 and the AT game number counter 1922 are set. Based on the determination that the termination condition of the AT state is met, control is performed to terminate the AT state when the termination condition of the AT state is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the information indicating the effect state in which the user is staying is stored in the effect state storage area 1919 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a. Further, in the present embodiment, in principle, when staying in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the privilege giving means 175 selects the seven-segment display provided in the game information display section DS at the winning of the batting order bell. While displaying the information corresponding to the correct batting order on the main display 300, the correct batting order notification for assisting the winning of the small part 1 or the small part 2 is performed, and the effect control means 180 causes the liquid crystal to be displayed when the batting bell is won. By displaying an image corresponding to the correct batting order on the display LCD, a prize assisting effect for assisting the winning of the small role 1 or the small role 2 is performed, and the assist is easier to obtain medals than the game staying in the non-AT state It is possible to play time games.

  In addition, as shown in Figure 17, bonus grant expedient 175 makes it possible to set the normal section, the inside medium stand-by section and the advantageous section, in the normal section fixed the production state to the non-AT state which is the initial state, shift to the advantageous section A lottery (an example of a specific lottery) is performed, and by having won the advantageous section transition lottery, the advantageous state is started and the effect state can be set to the AT state on condition that it is the advantageous section. And, in the game of the normal section, when the game state is the normal state, the award mode obtained by the internal lottery is the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong Based on being either Cherry A, Strong Cherry B, Watermelon 1 or Big Bonus (BB), the advantageous section transition lottery is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, the common bell 2 and regular bonus (RB) in which the winning probability changes according to the set value, the weak cherry 2 and watermelon 2 to be selected for lottery only in the bonus establishment state, and the RT state. For regular replays in which the winning probability changes, batting order replays 11 to batting order replay 13, batting order replays 21 to batting order replay 26, batting order replays 31 to batting order replay 36, and lost spots (loss in internal lottery), advantageous section transition lottery It has not become a lottery opportunity.

  In the advantageous section transition lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the advantageous section transition lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and the advantageous section transition lottery is won according to the comparison result It is determined whether the section has been won). In the advantageous section transition lottery table, random bets for internal lottery corresponding to batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1 and big bonus (BB) Winning or losing is assigned to the numerical value, and random numbers obtained for the internal lottery are batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1 It is determined that the advantageous section transition lottery has been won if it is associated with either the big bonus (BB) or the winning section in the advantageous section transition lottery table. In the present embodiment, particularly, in the advantageous section transition lottery triggered by execution of strong cherry A, strong cherry B and big bonus (BB), batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell, weak cherry 1, watermelon 1 The winning probability is higher than the advantageous section transition lottery which is an execution opportunity. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the advantageous section transition lottery does not change under the influence of the set value or the RT state.

  Then, when the benefit granting means 175 wins the advantageous segment shift lottery in the normal segment, it performs advantageous segment shift processing based on having won the advantageous segment lottery, and in principle, the next of the games won in the advantageous segment shift lottery Start the advantageous section from the game. In the present embodiment, it is determined in the advantageous section transition processing whether the production state is to be shifted to the fake high certain state, the high certain state, or the precursor state. In this embodiment, in the advantageous section transition process, the transition destination is a fake high probability state or a high level in the advantageous section transition process when winning is an advantageous section transition lottery having a batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 12, weak cherry 1 or watermelon 1 as a drawing opportunity. When it is set to the definite state and it wins the advantageous section transition lottery with the common bell 1, the strong cherry A, the strong cherry B, or the big bonus (BB) as the lottery trigger, the transition destination is highly probable in the advantageous section transition processing Or it is set to be a precursor state. Further, with regard to the distribution destination of the transition destination in the advantageous segment transition processing, the transition destination may be determined in advance in association with the random number value acquired for the internal lottery, and it is determined by lottery in the advantageous segment transition processing You may

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, it is possible to set an internal middle standby section, and the benefit granting means 175 wins the big bonus (BB) in the normal section. If you win the advantageous section transition lottery triggered by the big bonus (BB) but the big bonus (BB) is won without winning, the advantageous section via the internal middle standby section The start of the advantageous segment is performed by performing the advantageous segment transition processing when the big bonus (BB) is won. In the present embodiment, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, since the advantageous section transition lottery is not performed triggered by the regular bonus (RB), the regular bonus (RB) is carried over. Also, the normal section is maintained without shifting to the internal middle standby section.

  Then, in the benefit granting means 175, when the staging state is a fake high confirmation state or a high confirmation state in the advantageous section, the winning modes obtained by the internal lottery are a batting bell 1 to a batting bell 12, a common bell 1, a weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1, batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13, batting order replay 21 to batting order replay 26, batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36, or being a big bonus (BB) Perform AT lottery based on. It should be noted that in AT lottery, common bell 2 and regular bonus (RB) different in winning probability according to the setting value are not triggered by the lottery as in the advantageous section transition lottery, but batting order replay with different winning probability according to RT status. The advantageous section transition lottery is different in that 11 to batting order replay 13, batting order replay 21 to batting order replay 26, and batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36 also serve as lottery triggers.

  In the AT lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. . In the AT lottery table, batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1, batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13, batting order replay 21 to batting order replay 26, batting order replay A winning or losing is assigned to random numbers for the internal lottery corresponding to 31 to batting order replay 36 and the big bonus (BB), and the random number values acquired for the internal lottery are the batting order bell 1 to 1 Batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1, batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13, batting order replay 21 to batting order replay 26, batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36 or big bonus It is associated with one of (BB) and is associated with a win at the AT lottery table. If you are, it is determined that was elected to the AT lottery. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery is not changed by the influence of the set value similarly to the advantageous section transition lottery, but the winning probability of the AT lottery is the fake high probability state and the high probability state. In the high probability state, the AT lottery winning probability is set higher than the fake high probability state, and in the high probability state, in particular, the AT lottery is always elected when the big bonus (BB) is won. There is. In addition, when a precursor state is selected in the advantageous section transition processing, the transition to the AT state is determined as described later, and therefore, when the precursor state is selected in the advantageous section transition processing, Unlike the case where the fake high certainty state or the high certainty state is selected, it means that the right to transition to the AT state is acquired without the AT lottery.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the effect state is any of the fake high probability state, the high probability state, or the admiration state, the benefit providing unit 175 determines the fake high probability state based on the value of the high probability / precursor counter 1920. It monitors whether or not the termination condition of the high certainty state or the precursor state is established, and in the advantageous section transition process, the number of times of playing (4 times, 8 times, 16 times, The high probability / precursor counter provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a with a value (either “4”, “8”, “16” or “32”) corresponding to any of 32 times In the fake high certainty state, the high certainty state, and the precursor state, each time one game is performed, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, the high certainty end determination counter 1920 is set. value Performing decrement update for subtracting a constant value corresponding to a game of al 1 times "1". Note that the number of games serving as the ending condition may be set in accordance with the transition destination of the effect state in the advantageous segment transition process, for example, in the fake high certainty state and the high certainty state, between 4 times and 16 times The end condition may be set, and in the precursor state, the end condition may be selected at some of the transition destinations, such as the end condition may be set between 4 and 32 times.

  Then, when the value of the high probability / precursor counter 1920 reaches the initial value “0”, the benefit giving unit 175 determines that the termination condition of each of the fake high probability state, high probability state, and precursor state rendering condition is satisfied. The transition to the initialization standby state is made along with the end of the fake high certainty state or the high certainty state, and the transition is made to the AT preparation state along with the end of the precursor state. In the present embodiment, the initialization standby state is ended based on the fact that the navigation completion flag stored in the navigation completion flag storage area 1926 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a is in the on state, The privilege giving means 175 is a correct answer that informs the correct answering order by the main display 300 based on the fact that the navigation completion flag is off when any of the batting bell 1 to batting bell 12 is won in the initialization standby state. By giving a batting order notification and setting the navigation completion flag in the on state, the termination condition of the initialization standby state is satisfied. Further, in the present embodiment, the navigation completion flag is set to the on state if the navigation completion flag is in the off state when the correct batting order notification is performed when the batting bell is won in the advantageous section as well as the initialization standby state. .

  Further, when the AT awarding means wins the AT lottery, the benefit granting means 175 shifts to the AT state by performing processing for adding the value “1” corresponding to one set to the AT set number counter 1921 based on having won the AT lottery. Transfer the rendering state to the precursor state. At this time, the value of the precursor / high probability counter 1920 may be rewritten along with the transition from the fake high certainty state or the high certainty state to the precursor state. Specifically, when winning the AT lottery, the number of predictors is selected four, eight, sixteen, or thirty-two by lottery, and the number of selected games and the precursor / high probability at the time of winning the AT lottery If the newly selected game count is greater than the remaining game count by comparing the remaining game count based on the value of the counter 1920, the value of the precursor / high probability counter 1920 corresponds to the newly selected game count The process of rewriting to the value to be performed is performed.

  And the privilege provision means 175 makes assist time game play in an advantageous section by making a production | presentation state transfer to AT preparation state based on completion | finish of a precursor state, and making AT state transfer via AT preparation state. If the AT lottery based on the big bonus (BB) win is won, the AT lottery win information is held until the end of the BB state, and the BB state ends and the gaming state returns to the normal state. The rendering state is set to the precursor state, and after the precursor state ends, the state shifts to the AT state via the AT preparation state. The number of sets awarded by winning the AT lottery is not limited to one set and may be two or more, and is selected from the number of sets of multiple types at the time of winning the AT lottery, etc. It can be determined.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the awarding means 175 reports the correct batting order to lead the RT state to the RT2 state, and the effect control means 180 brings the RT state to the RT2 state. An auxiliary presentation is performed.

  For example, when staying in the RT1 state in the AT preparation state, the correct order batting order notification and the prize assisting effect notifying the correct order batting order so that the replay 4 can be made winning when the batting order replay 21 to the batting order replay 26 is won. To induce the RT state into the RT2 state. In the non-RT state and the RT1 state, batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36 may be won, and at this time, if the stop operation is performed along the wrong answering order, RT3 due to a replay 5 or replay 6 winning. A fall to state occurs. For this reason, when staying in the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT preparation state, when any of the batting order replay 31 to the batting order replay 36 is won, Replay 1 or Replay 2 is won and the RT3 state is entered. A correct batting order notification and a prize assisting effect for notifying a correct batting order are executed so that the non-RT state or the RT1 state can be maintained while preventing a fall.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a correct hitting order notification and a prize assisting effect to notify the correct hitting order at the time of winning the batting bell in the AT preparation state are performed, but when staying in the non-RT state or the RT4 state in the AT preparation state. In order to change the RT state to the RT1 state, the stop operation needs to be performed in the incorrect answering order in order to display the symbol combination indicating the RT change blank on the effective line. Therefore, when staying in the AT preparation state in the non RT state or in the RT 4 state, the batting bell is maintained while staying in the non RT state or the RT 4 state even in the AT preparation state. The correct order batting order notification and the prize assistance effect are not executed when the player is elected. In addition, when staying in the RT3 state in the AT preparation state, no change from the RT3 state occurs until the value of the RT game number counter 1918 reaches the initial value "0", so the termination condition of the RT3 state is satisfied. The correct answering order notification and prize assistance effect to notify the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting bell is performed until it is won, but after the return of the non-RT state, the correct answer batting order notice and prize assisting effect notifying the correct hitting order at the winning batting bell Not being performed, the execution of the correct answer batting order notification and the prize assistance effect at the time of winning the batting bell is resumed along with the transition to the RT1 state.

  Then, the privilege imparting means 175 shifts the rendering state from the AT preparation state to the AT state based on the RT state transitioning to the RT2 state when it is set to the AT preparation state. The transition from the AT preparation state to the AT state is the AT state at the end of the game based on any one of the batting order replay 21 to the batting order replay 26 being won in the RT1 state when the AT preparation state is set. It may be made to shift to Further, in this embodiment, the AT state is started by transitioning to the RT2 state, but when staying in any of the RT1 state, the RT2 state, or the RT3 state after the end of the precursor state, the AT The state may be started. In this case, when staying in the non-RT state or the RT4 state at the end of the precursor state, the AT state is maintained until transitioning to the RT1 state, and the AT state is started triggered by transitioning to the RT1 state. If the user is staying in any one of the RT1 state, the RT2 state, or the RT3 state at the end of the precursor state, the AT state may be immediately started without passing through the AT preparation state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, if the big bonus (BB) or the regular bonus (RB) is won in the AT preparation state, the condition that the user stays in the advantageous section at the end of the BB state or the end of the RB state The presentation state after the end of the BB state or the RB state is set to the AT preparation state, and the presentation state is shifted to the AT state after the RT state shifts to the RT2 state.

  And, the bonus granting means 175 not only executes correct answer batting order announcing the correct batting order so that the small part 1 or the small part 2 can be made to win when the batting bell is won in the AT state, In the situation where you stay in the RT2 state in the state, the correct answer so that you can win the Replay 1 and avoid Replay 3 winnings when winning in the Batting Replay 11 to the Batting Replay 13 in order to maintain the RT2 state. A correct batting order notice for notifying a batting order is executed.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, when the benefit giving means 175 notifies the correct batting order, information corresponding to the correct batting order is displayed on the main display 300, but specifically, the batting order number is set for each correct batting order. The batting order 1 to the batting order 6 shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 correspond to the batting order number, and the main display 300 displays “1” (batning order 1), “2” (batning order 2), A batting order number of 3 "(strike order 3)," 4 "(strike order 4)," 5 "(strike order 5), or" 6 "(strike order 6) is displayed.

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 subtracts the value “1” corresponding to one set from the value of the AT set number counter 1921 when starting the AT state, and it is 30 times that is the number of games serving as the end condition of one set. The corresponding value "30" is set in the AT game number counter 1922 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a. In the AT state, every time one assist time game is performed, for example, a constant value corresponding to one assist time game is calculated from the value of the AT game number counter 1922, triggered by the depression of the start lever SL. Perform decrement update by subtracting 1 ".

  Then, when the value of the AT game number counter 1922 reaches the initial value "0", the privilege giving means 175 determines that one set of end conditions is satisfied, checks the value of the AT set number counter 1921 and determines the AT set number counter. If the value of 1921 is not the initial value "0", it is determined that set stock is present, the AT state is maintained, and the value "1" corresponding to one set is subtracted from the value of the AT set number counter 1921 If a value corresponding to the number of times of game play for one set is set in the AT game number counter 1922 to start a new set of assist time games, and the value of the AT set number counter 1921 is the initial value "0" It is determined that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the effect state is set to the AT end standby state. That is, in the present embodiment, the AT state continues until the value of the AT set number counter 1921 and the value of the AT game number counter 1922 both become initial values "0".

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 is based on the fact that either the small part 1 or the small part 2 has won at the time of winning the batting bell 1 to batting bell 12 and winning of the common bell 1 in the AT state. Performs point update processing (an example of privilege counter update processing) of updating the value of point counter 1923 (an example of a benefit counter) by adding a given addition value to the value, and the value of point counter 1923 is a predetermined value (for example, 3000) When reaching), control is performed to shift the rendering state to the special AT state. In this embodiment, when the rendering state is set to the special AT state, the rendering state is fixed to the special AT state until the termination condition of the advantageous section based on the value of the clear counter 1925 is satisfied. The special AT status is the same as the AT status in the assist time game, but the value of the clear counter 1925 does not cause a change in the production status until the end of the advantageous section. Management of the termination condition is not performed using 1921 or the AT game number counter 1922.

  In addition, the privilege giving means 175 performs a special AT lottery (an example of a privilege giving lottery) every constant value (for example, every 1000) even before the value of the point counter 1923 reaches a predetermined value, and displays the effect state as a special AT Control is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the state. In the special AT lottery, in the game satisfying the execution conditions, for example, random number values are acquired based on completion of the stop operation for all the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the acquired random number values are stored in the main lottery table storage area In comparison with the special AT lottery table stored in 1910, it is determined whether or not the special AT lottery has been won according to the comparison result. In the special AT lottery table, winning or losing is associated with random numbers that can be acquired, and it is determined that the special AT lottery is won when the acquired random numbers are associated with winning. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, the common bell 2 is also provided as a winning combination of a small combination in which the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 can be won, but in the game in which the common bell 2 is won, point update processing is performed. It is not supposed to. For this reason, when the common bell 2 is won in the AT state, the privilege imparting means 175 performs an in-press notification to notify of the operation sequence for stopping the second reel R2 first. In the middle push notification, the correct hit order notification and the notification content at the time of winning the batting bell 5 to the batting bell 8 are the same, and the player can not distinguish between the middle push notification and the correct batting order notification. Further, in the present embodiment, even when the AT state continues over a plurality of sets, the value of the point counter 1923 is not reset, and the value of the point counter 1923 can be carried over across sets.

  In addition, privilege grant expedient 175 decides the addition value (update quantity of point counter 1923) in point renewal processing according to the value of bell consecutive frequency counter 1924, the additional value becomes large, as the value of bell consecutive frequency counter 1924 becomes large . In the present embodiment, the bonus giving means 175 sets the value of the bell connection number counter 1924 from the initial value "0" to the fixed value "1" based on the point update processing being performed in the assist time game in the AT state. The value of the bell connection number counter 1924 is reset to the initial value “0” based on the fact that the point update process has not been performed in the assist time game in the AT state. In the present embodiment, for example, when the value n of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 is “0”, the addition value is “3”, and when the value n of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 is “1”, the addition value is “1”. If the value n of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 is “2”, the addition value is “27”, and the addition value is the payout number of medals associated with the wins of the small part 1 and the small part 2 (six) It is calculated by 3 ^ (n + 1) with a value "3" based on the difference between and and the number of medals inserted (three sheets) as a reference value.

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 performs an addition lottery (an example of a benefit award lottery) according to the sum of the addition values of the point counter 1923 in the one set at the end of one set of AT states, and the AT set number counter 1921. Control to determine whether to add the value of.

  In the additional lottery, in the final game of one set of AT state, for example, random number values are acquired based on completion of the stop operation for all the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the acquired random number values are stored in the main lottery table In comparison with the additional lottery table stored in area 1910, it is determined whether or not the additional lottery has been won according to the comparison result. In the additional lottery table, one set, two sets, or four sets of winning sets, or a loss (0 set) are associated with random numbers that can be acquired, and the acquired random numbers are If it is associated with one set, two sets, or four sets of winning sets, it means that the winning lottery is won, and the added value according to the number of winning sets corresponding to the acquired random number is The value is added to the value of the AT set number counter 1921. For example, when the number of winning sets is one, “1” is added to the value of the AT set number counter 1921. When the number of winning sets is two, the value of the AT set number counter 1921 is “1”. If the number 2 is added and the number of winning sets is 4, "4" is added to the value of the AT set number counter 1921. In addition, the winning probability of the additional drawing is higher as the sum of the addition values for the point counter 1923 in one set is larger, and for the distribution of the number of winning sets, one set is most easily selected, and four sets are It is most difficult to choose. In addition, in the additional lottery, the success or failure and the number of winning sets at the time of winning may be divided into two-step lottery and executed.

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 performs a pull-back lottery giving a chance to return to the AT state in the AT end standby state, and the winning mode obtained by the internal lottery is a batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1. If it is a strong cherry A, a strong cherry B, a watermelon 1, a batting order replay 11 to a batting order replay 13 or a big bonus (BB), a draw back lottery is performed. In this embodiment, when a draw-back lottery is won, the right to play assist time game can be re-acquired by adding a given value to the value of the AT set number counter 1921.

  In the pullback lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the pullback lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and it is determined whether or not the pull lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the draw-back lottery table, batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1, batting replay 11 to batting replay 13 and big bonus (BB) are made to correspond. The winning or losing is associated with the random value for the internal lottery, and the random value acquired in the internal lottery is a batting bell 1 to a batting bell 12, a common bell 1, a weak cherry 1, a strong cherry A, a strong A player has won a draw-back lottery if it is associated with any of Cherry B, watermelon 1, batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13, or Big Bonus (BB) and if it is associated with winning in the draw-back lottery table It is determined that In the present embodiment, the player is always elected in a pull-back lottery based on the selection of common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1 or big bonus (BB). In addition, the value added to the AT set number counter 1921 when winning in the pull-back lottery is the batting bell 1 in the case where the common bell 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, or big bonus (BB) is the drawing opportunity. A larger value is selected than in the case where the batting order bell 12, the weak cherry 1, the watermelon 1, or the batting order replay 11 to the batting order replay 13 is used as the lottery trigger. In addition, the relationship between the type of winning mode that triggers pulling-back lottery and the winning mode of the combination in the inner lottery and the value added to the AT set number counter 1921 at the time of winning the pulling-back lottery is not limited to the above. , Can be determined arbitrarily. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the pullback lottery and the value to be added to the AT set number counter 1921 when the pullback lottery is won do not change depending on the set value.

  Then, the benefit granting means 175 returns the effect state to the AT state when the win is made to the pull back lottery in the AT end standby state, and the RT state is the non RT state or RT1 without winning the pull back lottery in the AT end standby state. The AT termination waiting state is ended based on the transition to the state, and the transition to the initialization waiting state is made. In the present embodiment, in the AT completion standby state, since the correct hitting order notification and the prize assisting effect are not executed when winning each batting bell or each batting replay, it becomes difficult to maintain the staying RT state, For example, in the state of staying in the RT2 state in the AT end standby state, when the stop operation is performed along the incorrect answering order when the batting bell is won, the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line Falls to the RT1 state, and when the stopping operation is performed along the incorrect answering order when the batting order replay 11 to batting order replay 13 is won, the replay 3 wins, thereby causing the RT1 state to fall, and thereby the AT end standby state The end condition is met.

  In addition, when the bonus (big bonus (BB) or regular bonus (RB)) is won in the AT state, the benefit granting means 175 cancels the decrement update of the AT game number counter 1922 based on the winning of the bonus, and AT The RT state transitions to the RT2 state via the AT preparation state from the end of the BB state or RB state on condition that the state is interrupted and stays in the advantageous section even after the BB state or RB state ends. At the same time, the AT state is resumed.

  Further, the privilege giving means 175 is a navigation stored in the navigation completion flag storage area 1926 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a based on the notification of the correct order of batting at the winning of the batting bell in the advantageous section. The completion flag is set to the on state, but when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the navigation completion flag is set to the on state based on the fact that the navigation completion flag is off. In the present embodiment, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the navigation completion flag is not set to the on status even if the navigation completion flag is in the off status. This navigation completion flag is used to determine whether or not to allow termination of the advantageous section not depending on the value of the clear counter 1925 described later, and the big bonus (BB) in which the probability of winning does not change according to the set value. Although the end timing of the advantageous section is not affected by the set value even if it is associated with the end of the advantageous section, the regular bonus (RB) whose winning probability changes according to the set value is terminated at the end of the advantageous section. The purpose of association is to prevent the end time of the advantageous section from being influenced by the set value.

  Then, the privilege giving means 175 determines that the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied when the effect state is the initialization standby state and the navigation completion flag is in the on state, and performs control to end the advantageous section.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the benefit giving unit 175 sets the value of the clear counter 1925 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a in the advantageous section transition process to a predetermined value (for example, 1). Each time a game is played, an incremental update is performed to add a fixed value (for example, 1) equivalent to the game for one game to the value of the clear counter 1925, and the value of the clear counter 1925 is a threshold (for example, It is determined that the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied also when 1500) is exceeded (when the value of the clear counter 1925 reaches "1501"). In this embodiment, the update of the clear counter 1925 is performed after all the rotating reels in each game are stopped, but if it is determined in advance in each game, the update of the clear counter 1925 is performed at any timing. For example, a game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update opportunity. In the advantageous section, as long as the termination condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied, the clear counter 1925 is updated even if the game state, the RT state, or the transition of the effect state occurs. In addition, although it was elected to the advantageous section transition lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB), if the advantageous section starts via the internal mid standby section without the big bonus (BB) winning, In the standby section, updating of the clear counter 1925 is not performed, and updating of the clear counter 1925 is started at the start of the advantageous section.

  The threshold value of the clear counter 1925 can be set so that the number of medals acquired (difference between the number of medals inserted and the number of payouts) in the advantageous section does not exceed a predetermined number, and in the present embodiment the advantageous section The number of medals won in is set not to exceed 3,000. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 1925 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated at 3000 sheets / tilt value. Here, the inclination value is the expectation value of the net increase number of medals per game by assist time game and bonus game, and in the present embodiment, the payout rate is the highest among the set values of 6 stages of setting 1 to setting 6 In the setting 6 where the expected value is high, the inclination value is two. Therefore, the number of games played in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1,500 (= 3000 sheets / two), and after the clear counter 1925 is set to "1" in accordance with the transition to the advantageous section, The threshold value is set to end the advantageous section after counting the number of games. Thus, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit number of medals obtained and the inclination value, and can be set arbitrarily depending on the design of these. The threshold value of the clear counter 1925 may be any value as long as the maximum number of games played in the advantageous section is 1,500 or less, and may be a fixed value independent of the inclination value.

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 performs an initialization process to initialize the information stored in a predetermined storage area of the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a based on the end of the advantageous section. Particularly, in the present embodiment, regarding the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a, an effect state storage area 1919, a high probability / precursor counter 1920, an AT set number counter 1921, an AT game number counter 1922, a point counter 1923, a bell connection number counter 1924, The clear counter 1925 and the information stored in the navigation completion flag storage area 1926 are initialized by an initialization process associated with the end of the advantageous section. More specifically, the effect state storage area 1919 in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a, high probability / precursor counter 1920, AT set number counter 1921, AT game number counter 1922, point counter 1923, bell consecutive number counter 1924, clear A storage area other than the counter 1925 and the navigation completion flag storage area 1926 is designated as an information holding area, and information stored in the storage area other than the information holding area of the main RAM is initialized. For this reason, when the initialization processing according to the end of the advantageous section is performed, the lottery flag is added to the setting value storage area 1913 and the credit information storage area 1914 unlike the case where the initialization processing in the setting change mode is performed. Storage area 1915, gaming state storage area 1916, RT state storage area 1917, and RT game number counter 1918 are also designated as information holding areas, and the information stored in these storage areas is an initial state along with the end of the advantageous section. Depending on the conversion process, it will be held without being initialized. Then, when the initialization processing according to the end of the advantageous section is performed, the rendering state is initialized to the non-AT state and the navigation completion flag is turned off, and the high probability / precursor counter 1920, the AT set number counter 1921, AT The values of the number-of-games counter 1922, the point counter 1923, the bell continuous number counter 1924, and the clear counter 1925 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0) and return to the normal section.

  Then, in the present embodiment, the initialization processing is executed along with the end of the advantageous section to return to the normal section, and therefore, when the value of the clear counter 1925 exceeds the threshold value in the situation of staying in the AT state. The AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, the navigation completion flag is turned off, and the high probability / precursor counter 1920, the number of AT sets The values of the counter 1921, the AT game number counter 1922, the point counter 1923, the bell connection number counter 1924, and the clear counter 1925 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0). In addition, even when the value of the clear counter 1925 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where it is staying in the other rendering state, the rendering state which is currently staying is forcibly terminated by the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section. The rendering state is initialized to the non-AT state and the navigation completion flag is turned off, and the high probability / precursor counter 1920, the AT set number counter 1921, the AT game number counter 1922, the point counter 1923, the bell continuous number counter 1924, And the value of the clear counter 1925 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). In the present embodiment, the rendering state is not initialized by turning on / off the power, but the rendering state is also performed when the initialization process is performed in the setting change mode when activated in the setting change mode. Is initialized to the non-AT state, and the navigation completion flag is turned off, and the high probability / predictive counter 1920, the AT set number counter 1921, the AT game number counter 1922, the point counter 1923, the bell continuous number counter 1924, and the clear The value of the counter 1925 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0).

  Even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the big bonus (BB) is won, and the initialization process is performed according to the end of the advantageous section. The BB state to which the transition is made by winning of the big bonus (BB) is set as the normal section, and even if the state transitions to the BB state in the advantageous section, the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the ending condition of the BB state is satisfied. Then, when the initialization processing according to the end of the advantageous section is performed, after the initialization processing, the game state is switched to the BB section while being in the BB state. Also, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the initialization process is performed according to the end of the advantageous section. The RB state to be shifted by winning of the regular bonus (RB) is set to the normal section, and even if it is shifted to the RB state in the advantageous section, the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the termination condition of the RB state is satisfied. When the initialization process is performed in accordance with the end of the advantageous section, after the initialization process, the game state is switched to the RB state while being in the RB state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, execution of the AT lottery is prohibited in the case of the normal section and the internal middle standby section, and the AT lottery is performed even if the winning mode serving as the execution trigger of the AT lottery is obtained by the internal lottery. It is supposed not to be executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even when the value of the clear counter 1925 exceeds the threshold value, the advantageous section is ended even when the BB is in the established state, and the initialization process is performed according to the end of the advantageous section. In this case, when it is not possible to win the big bonus (BB) which was already won in the game of the normal section after the end of the advantageous section, the winning of the big bonus (BB) shifts to the advantageous section Because it does not involve, the normal section is maintained and does not shift to the internal waiting section.

  Further, in the present embodiment, regardless of whether the end condition of the BB state or the RB state is satisfied even when the value of the clear counter 1925 stays in the BB state or the RB state in the situation where the value exceeds the threshold. The advantage section is ended without doing, the initialization processing with the end of the advantage section is done, it moves to the normal section, but in the BB section and the RB state in the normal section, the advantageous section transition lottery is not done Therefore, when the advantageous section ends in the situation where the BB or RB state is staying, and the initialization process is performed according to the end of the advantageous section, the rendering state after the end of the BB or RB state is It will always be in the non-AT state. Since initialization of the game state is not performed depending on the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section, the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed in the situation where the user is staying in the BB state or the RB state. Information such as the number of payouts in the BB state game and the information such as the number of winnings in the RB state game, which have been digested before the initialization process is performed, is a relation where the game state storage area 1916 is designated as the information holding area The game is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, and the game in the BB state or the RB state is performed until the termination condition of the BB state or the RB state is established.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section is started by winning of the advantageous section transition lottery in the normal section, and the presentation state is set to the AT state under a predetermined condition in the advantageous section to perform the assist time game. However, even when the AT state ends, the advantageous section is maintained as long as the ending condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied. That is, in the present embodiment, since the advantageous section continues even after the end of the AT state, there is a case where the effect state stays in the advantageous section even if it shifts from the AT state to a different rendering state from the AT state.

  In addition, benefit granting means 175 lights up the LED built in the section indicator SEC based on the start of the advantageous section to notify that it is staying in the advantageous section, based on the end of the advantageous section Control is performed to turn off the LED built in the section indicator SEC. And in this embodiment, since the LED incorporated in the section indicator SEC is turned off in the normal section and the internal middle standby section, it is determined to be an advantageous section by confirming the lighting state of the section indicator SEC. It is possible to determine if you are staying or not.

  And in this embodiment, the privilege provision means 175 is based on the value of the clear counter 1925 to start or complete | finish the advantageous area alerting | reporting which is alerting | reporting of staying in the advantageous area. For example, when the clear counter 1925 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in accordance with transition to the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1925 has become larger than the initial value “0” (clear counter 1925 Based on that the value is not the initial value “0”, the notification of the advantageous section is started, and the value of the clear counter 1925 is initialized to the initial value “0” as the advantageous section ends and the transition to the normal section is made. If it is determined that the value of the clear counter 1925 has become the initial value "0", the advantageous section notification is ended.

  The section display SEC does not have to be provided exclusively as in the present embodiment, and may be used as the main display 300. For example, switching on / off of the dot display unit for displaying the decimal point etc. of the 7-segment display indicates whether or not the user is staying in the advantageous section, turns off the dot display unit in the normal section, and displays the dot display unit in the advantageous section It may be made to be an advantageous section alert by lighting up.

  Based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage area 1927 provided in the sub ROM of the effect information storage means 190b, the effect control means 180 performs display effect or the like performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device). Control relating to sound effects performed using the sound device 340 (an example of a rendering device) is performed. For example, a lamp or an LED is lit or blinked according to the occurrence of a game event such as insertion of a medal, operation on a bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, change in gaming state, etc. By changing the content or outputting a sound from the speaker SP, execution control of effects for supporting the game or assisting the game is performed according to the progress of the game. The contents of the effect to be executed in the game, the effect lottery table stored in the sub lottery table storage area 1928 provided in the sub ROM of the effect information storage means 190b, the gaming state, effect state, the result of the internal lottery, etc. Determined by reference accordingly. In this embodiment, based on the image data read into the image buffer 1929, the image data corresponding to the progress of the game is read from the effect data storage area 1927 of the sub ROM into the image buffer 1929 provided in the sub RAM. The image is output to the liquid crystal display LCD, and sound data corresponding to the progress of the game is read from the effect data storage area 1927 of the sub ROM into the sound buffer 1930 provided in the sub RAM, and the sound read in the sound buffer 1930 A sound based on the data is output from the speaker SP.

  Then, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when the batting bell is won, when the effect state is the AT preparation state and the AT state, and when the effect state is the initialization standby state and the navigation completion flag is off. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the acoustic device 340 to execute a prize assistance effect for assisting the winning of the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2. However, even if the rendering state is the AT preparation state, if the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT4 state, the symbol combination showing the RT fluctuation blank is on the effective line to guide the gaming state to the RT1 state. Even if the batting order bell is won until it is displayed on the screen, the prize assisting effect is not performed.

  Further, when the effect state is the AT state, the effect control means 180 displays the bell alignment avoiding effect for notifying the order of the stop operation for stopping the second reel R2 first when the common bell 2 is won, the display device 330 or the sound device Control to be executed by 340 is performed.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning of the batting order replay 21 to the batting order replay 26 and replays 4 in a situation where the RT state is staying in the RT1 state. Control to cause the display device 330 or the sound device 340 to execute a prize assisting effect for assisting the player's winnings, and when the batting order replay 31 to batting order replay 36 is won, an accurate batting order is notified to assist replay 1 or replay 2 prizes. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a prize assistance effect.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting order replay 31 to the batting order replay 36 when the batting state is the AT preparation state and stays in the non-RT state to play Replay 1 or Replay. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the acoustic device 340 to execute a prize assistance effect that assists the player in the second prize.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT state, the production control means 180 notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting order replay 11 to the batting order replay 13 and assists the winning of the replay 1 when the player stays in the RT2 state. Control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute the winning a prize assistance effect is performed.

  Further, the effect control means 180 sets the effect content according to the effect state, but in the fake high probability state and the high probability state, the common effect content can be selected, and either the fake high probability state or the high probability state The player is prevented from easily grasping whether he is staying. It is not necessary that the contents of presentation that can be selected during stay in the fake high confidence state and the presentation contents that can be selected during the stay in high confidence state completely match, and that the selection rate is sufficiently low compared to other presentation contents. A dedicated effect content may be set for the state. When all the presentation contents that can be selected in the fake high certainty state and the high certainty state are made common, the selection rates of the respective presentation contents may be different in the fake high certainty state and the high certainty state.

  In addition, when the assist time game is performed in the AT state, the effect control means 180 causes the display device 330 such as the liquid crystal display LCD to display the remaining number of game numbers remaining until one set is completed. Control to be executed. In the remaining number display effect, when the value of the AT game number counter 1922 is subtracted by playing the assist time game, the display content is changed so that the remaining number of the number of times of playing is reduced so as to reflect the reduced amount. .

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

2. Method of the Present Embodiment In the present embodiment, it is possible to set a normal section and an advantageous section as a game section, and it is determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous section in the normal section. A method is adopted in which an assist time game in which winning is assisted can be performed, and a benefit of transitioning to a special AT state under predetermined conditions in an AT state which is a production state in which the assist time game is performed is adopted.

  Specifically, in the normal section, the effect state is always set to the non-AT state, and the advantageous section transition lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery. In the present embodiment, in particular, the winning manner of the beating bell 1 to the betting bell 12, the common bell 1, the weak cherry 1, the strong cherry A, the strong cherry B, the watermelon 1 or the big bonus (BB) is internally lottery. When it is acquired, an advantageous section transition lottery is performed. The winning modes that trigger execution of these advantageous section transition lotterys are all winning modes in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value, and the transition rate to the advantageous section is not influenced by the set value. .

  It should be noted that batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1, weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, strong cherry B, watermelon 1 and big bonus (BB), which are winning modes that trigger execution of the advantageous section transition lottery, When the status is the normal status, the winning probability is kept constant regardless of the fluctuation of the RT status. As described above, in the present embodiment, by selecting the winning mode that triggers the execution of the advantageous section transition lottery with the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the change of the RT state, it is possible to stay in any RT state. Even in the case where player's change occurs, it is possible to ensure fairness at the time of player's change in the normal section in that it is possible to fairly give an opportunity to receive the advantageous section transition lottery. It is supposed to be.

  And in this embodiment, when winning the advantageous section transition lottery and starting the advantageous section, the transition to the AT state is made by the AT lottery if the transition destination of the rendering state is the fake high certainty state or the high certainty state If the transition destination of the rendering state is the precursor state, it is determined that the transition to the AT state is made. Then, even when the transition to the AT state is determined by the AT lottery, the transition to the AT state is made via the precursor state.

  In this way, when transitioning to the AT state in the advantageous section, it is possible to perform an assist time game in which the correct batting order is notified when the batting bell 1 to batting bell 12 are won and the winnings of the small winning combination 1 and the small winning combination 2 are assisted. In this embodiment, in the assist time game in the AT state, the value of the point counter 1923 is updated to determine whether the condition for transition to the special AT state is satisfied.

  Specifically, in the assist time game in the AT state, when either the batting bell 1-batting bell 12 or the common bell 1 is won, either the small part 1 or the small part 2 is won Based on this, point update processing is performed to update the addition value corresponding to the value of the bell continuous number counter 1924 to the value of the point counter 1923. More specifically, in the assist time game in the AT state, the value of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 counts up by "1" at an initial value of "0" based on the point update processing being performed. The value of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 is reset to the initial value “0” based on the fact that the point updating process has not been performed. Then, in the point update process, when the value of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 is n, 3 ^ (n + 1) is obtained as an added value, and the smaller the winning combination of the small winning combination 1 and the small winning combination 2 is It is required to increase the value. In the present embodiment, the reference value of the added value in the point update process is based on the difference between the number of medals paid out (6 sheets) associated with the winning of small part 1 and small part 2 and the number of inserted medals (3 sheets). Although "3" is used, the reference value may be "6" based on the number of medals paid out (6 cards).

  Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the point counter 1923 reaches a predetermined value "3000", it is determined that the transition condition to the special AT state is satisfied, and the rendering state is shifted from the AT state to the special AT state. In the special AT state, management of the ending condition by the AT set number counter 1921 and the AT game number counter 1922 is not performed, but the ending condition is managed by the value of the clear counter 1925, thereby assisting time game to the full limit of the advantageous section. Will be able to do. That is, in the present embodiment, in order to play as many assist time games as possible in the advantageous section, it is desirable to shift the effect state to the special AT state as early as possible after the advantageous section is started, and the point counter 1923 The player can be motivated to win the small winning combination 1 and the small winning combination 2 in the assist time game in order to bring the value of the value close to the predetermined value "3000".

  Further, in the present embodiment, batting bell 1 to batting bell 12, common bell 1 and common bell 2 are set as winning modes in which small part 1 or small part 2 can be won, and batting bell 1 to batting order The probability of winning does not change depending on the set value for Bell 12 and Common Bell 1, but the probability of winning changes for Common Bell 2 according to the set value, and the higher the set value, the higher the probability of winning Common Bell 2 It has become. For this reason, the higher the set value, the more chances for winning the small part 1 and the small part 2, and the lower the set value, the less likely the chance for the small part 1 and the small part 2 to be won.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2 is won by obtaining either the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 12 or the common bell 1 in the internal lottery, the point updating process is performed. By not performing point update processing when small role 1 or small role 2 wins with 2 and wins, the degree of advantage for the acquisition of the right to shift to the special AT state is not affected by the set value You can do so.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the value of the point counter 1923 affects the winning probability of the additional lottery. That is, the higher the frequency of the point update processing, the easier it is for the player to obtain an advantageous result in the additional lottery. And, in the present embodiment, when common bell 2 in which the winning probability fluctuates according to the set value is obtained by the internal lottery as described above, the point updating process is not performed, thereby the degree of advantage of the additional lottery Can also be immune to settings.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the common bell 2 varies according to the set value, and the expectation value for the winning combination of the small winning combination changes according to the set value. While the difference in the winning probability according to the setting value affects the payout rate for each setting value, for the common bell 1 and batting bell 1 to batting bell 12 the winning probability does not change due to the change of the setting value, but the advantageous section in the normal section By changing the payout rate according to the set value, the advantage degree associated with the assist time game is set by functioning as an execution trigger of the transition lottery or by functioning as an execution trigger of point update processing in the advantageous section It is possible to realize game specifications that are not affected by the value.

  In the present embodiment, when performing point update processing, control is performed to make the addition value of the point counter 1923 in the current game larger than the previous game based on the point update processing being performed in the previous game. Therefore, it is possible to provide a game feature in which the value of the point counter 1923 can easily approach the predetermined value "3000" as the winnings of the small part 1 and the small part 2 are continued, and the enjoyment of the game about assist time game can be provided. It can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the transition condition to the special AT state may be satisfied even before the value of point counter 1923 reaches a predetermined value "3000". Specifically, the value of point counter 1923 is In the case of "1000" and "2000", that is, every time the cumulative addition value of the point counter 1923 reaches "1000", a special AT lottery is performed to determine whether to shift to the special AT state. For this reason, the opportunity to shift to the special AT state can be increased, and even when the value of the point counter 1923 does not reach the predetermined value "3000", the assist time in the AT state is expected with transition to the special AT state. I can play a game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell 2 is won, the small part 1 or the small part 2 may be awarded, but in the AT state, the point updating process is performed despite the small part 1 or the small part 2 having been won. Failure to do this may lead to a decline in the player's willingness to play. Further, in the game in which the common bell 2 is won, since the point updating process is not performed, the value of the bell connection number counter 1924 is also reset to the initial value "0", and the player's willingness to play is also reduced Become a cause of

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when common bell 2 is won in the AT state, minor role 11, minor portion 12, minor portion 13, or minor portion 14 while avoiding winning of minor portion 1 and minor portion 2. To inform the operation sequence for stopping the second reel R2 first so as to win the second reel R2 and perform an informing notification to guide the player's stop operation. In this way, it is possible to induce the player's stop operation to be able to avoid the appearance of the stop mode indicating the winning of the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2 in the situation where the point update process is not executed. It is possible to prevent giving a sense of useless expectation to the player.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the batting order bell 9 to the batting order bell 12 are set as the winning modes of the small winning combination, and when the stop operation is performed so as to stop the second reel R2 first, the small winning hand 11 and the small winning combination Possible to win any of the part 12, small part 13 or small part 14 and the same stop mode can be generated in the case where the common bell 2 is won and in the case where any of the bat order bell 9 to the bat order bell 12 is won And

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed to stop the second reel R2 first, the winning mode obtained in the internal lottery is common bell 2 or batting order bell 9 to batting order bell 12 It can be made impossible to determine which is the case. In the present embodiment, in particular, since the common bell 2 is a winning mode in which the probability of winning changes according to the set value, it is difficult for the player to easily determine the set value by making it difficult to grasp that the common bell 2 has been won. Interface environment can be provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when one of the bats 9 and 12 is won, if the stop operation is performed to stop the third reel R3 first, the small winning combination 2 is won, and the common bell is won. The stop control is performed so that the same stop mode appears in the case where 2 is won and in the case where any of bats order bell 9 to bat 12 is won.

  For this reason, according to the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed to stop the third reel R3 first, the winning mode obtained in the internal lottery is common bell 2 or batting order bell 9 to batting order bell 12 It can be made impossible to determine which is the case. Therefore, when stopping the third reel R3 first, it is difficult to determine the common bell 2 having a setting difference, and it is possible to provide an interface environment in which the player can not easily determine the setting value.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell 1 is won, the small winning combination 1 is won regardless of the pressing order along any pressing order, and when the common bell 2 is won, the first reel R1 is selected. In the case of stopping first, the small winning combination 1 does not win, and in the case of stopping the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 first, the small winning combination 1 does not occur. In the present embodiment, batting bells 1 to 4 are provided in addition to the common bell 1 and the common bell 2 as a winning combination of the small part enabling the small part 1 to be awarded, but the batting bell 1 to the batting order When Bell 4 wins, small part 1 wins if the stop operation is performed along the correct hit sequence to stop the first reel R1 first, but the wrong answer to stop the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 first If the stop operation is performed along the batting order, the small winning combination 1 will not be won. Therefore, as a result of performing the stop operation to stop the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 first, when the small winning combination 1 is won, the winning mode obtained in the internal lottery is the common bell 1 It will be decided.

  That is, in the present embodiment, if the player plays a game so as to first stop the first reel R1 in the game of the normal section, the small section 1 is a trigger for executing the advantageous section transition lottery when the small winning combination is won. If it is possible to definitely know that one of the batting bell 1 to the batting bell 4 has won, and if the player is playing a game so as to stop the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 first, the small winning combination 1 When the player wins a prize, it is possible to firmly grasp that the common bell 1 which is the trigger for execution of the advantageous section transition lottery has been won, so even if the stop operation is performed along any operation order, it is small It is possible to provide an interface environment in which the player can grasp that the stop mode indicating the winning of the winning combination 1 is the execution opportunity of the advantageous section transition lottery.

  In this embodiment, the point update processing is performed when the small part 1 or the small part 2 wins when the batting bell 1 to batting bell 12 and the common bell 1 are won, but weak cherry 1, strong cherry A, Alternatively, the point updating process may be executed also when the replay 8 is won when the strong cherry B is won, or when the replay 7 is won when the watermelon 1 is won. In this case, with regard to how to determine the added value in the point update process, the bell using the same reference value as the winning combination of small part 1 or small part 2 at the time of winning bell 1 to bat 12 and common bell 1 is selected. An addition value corresponding to the value of the consecutive times counter 1924 may be obtained, or a predetermined addition value may be used according to the type of winning combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the point update processing, the reference value is raised to the power to obtain the added value, but based on the value n of the bell frequency counter 1924, a value corresponding to (n + 1) times the reference value. May be determined as the addition value.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the point updating process is not performed with respect to the updating of the bell connection frequency counter 1924, the value of the bell connection frequency counter 1924 is reset to the initial value. If not performed, the value of the bell connection number counter 1924 may be decremented by a fixed value (for example, “1”).

  Moreover, as a transition condition to the special AT state, not only depending on the value of the point counter 1923 but, for example, it is determined that the value of the clear counter 1925 has reached a predetermined value (for example, 1190), The sum of the number of played games and the number of assist time games may reach a predetermined number (for example, 1500).
