  A preferred embodiment of a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the overall configuration of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The slot machine 1 is an embodiment of a gaming machine according to the present invention, and includes a case 1b having an opening on the front and a front door 1a that covers the opening so as to be openable and closable, as in a normal slot machine. There is.

At the central portion of the front door 1a, a display window 6 capable of visually recognizing the rear is formed, and the symbol of the reel 41 can be visually recognized through the display window 6.
Further, below the display window 6 is formed a step projecting to the front side, and on the upper surface of this step, the medal insertion slot 2 for inserting medals and the pressing operation of the player at the start of the game A bet button 2a is provided to set the number of bets.
Further, below the step portion, there are provided a start lever 3 which is operated when the player starts the game, and a stop button 5 which is depressed when the player stops the reel 41.

  Further, above the display window 6, a navigation lamp 12 for navigating the operation order of the stop button 5 to the player is provided. Further, below the display window 6, there is provided an advantageous state lamp 13 for notifying that the gaming state is a specific gaming state which is advantageous for a player such as ART described later.

At the upper part of the front door 1a, for example, a liquid crystal display is provided, and a display 8 is provided to perform effects and information by displaying according to the game. On the left and right of the display 8 are provided speakers 9 for effecting and notifying by sound and lamps 11 for effecting and notifying by light emission.
In addition, the lower part of the front door 1a is provided with a medal payout opening 7b from which medals are paid out.

The upper portion of the housing 1 b is provided with a main control unit 10 that controls the game in an integrated manner, and a sub control unit 20 that performs control on effects of the game under the control of the main control unit 10.
Further, a drum unit 4 for rotating and driving the reel 41 is provided at the center of the housing 1b. The drum unit 4 is configured such that a reel 41a, a reel 41b, and a reel 41c are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, and the reels 41a to 41c are configured to be rotatable by driving of a stepping motor (not shown). Further, a plurality of symbols (identification information) are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each of the reels 41a to 41c according to a predetermined arrangement, and the predetermined number (for example, consecutive) of each reel 41a to 41c in the stopped state of the reels 41 , 3) are visible through the display window 6.
Further, the lower part of the case 1b is provided with a medal payout device 7 for payout of medals and a hopper 7a for storing medals, and the medals paid out from the medal payout device 7 is a player via the medal payout opening 7b. Be paid out.

  Such a slot machine 1 is configured to be able to execute the following slot machine game by the main control unit 10 operating as a game state control means or the like.

At the start of the game, the number of bets is set using medals (including credit medals).
There are a method of setting the number of bets by inserting medals directly from the medal insertion slot 2 and setting, and pressing the bet button 2a.

In the method of inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 2 and setting the number of bets, the inserted medal is detected by the medal selector 2b provided on the back of the front door 1a, so that the bet corresponding to the number of medals for the inserted amount. A number (however, the bet number “3” corresponding to three medals is the upper limit) is set.
The upper limit of the bet number may be "1", "2", or "4" or more.

The bet button 2a is an example of operation means capable of accepting the operation of the player relating to the setting of the bet number, and when this is pressed, a predetermined number (for example, from the credit medals stored internally as data) The number of medals of 3 cards is subtracted, and the subtracted amount is set as the bet number.
The bet button is not limited to the bet button 2a, and a plurality of bet buttons may be provided, each having a different bet number. In addition, the credit medals are added by the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 2 or winning, and, for example, 50 medals can be credited (stored).

As described above, the bet number set by the direct insertion from the medal insertion slot 2 or the pressing operation of the bet button 2a is stored in the storage unit such as the RAM provided in the main control unit 10.
Then, when the bet number reaches a predetermined number (for example, three cards), a game can be started which holds the right to execute one game.

In the state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 3 is effective. In this effective state, when the start lever 3 is operated to tilt, the game is started, and the reels 41a to 41c on which a plurality of symbols are displayed start fluctuating, and a plurality of replay roles, small roles, bonus roles, etc. An internal lottery process is executed which determines in advance the lottery result of the current game from among the winning combinations (including the removal) of before the stop of the reel 41 (winning combination determining means).
In the internal lottery process, the winning combination of the current game is determined from the plurality of winning combinations based on a predetermined winning probability.
In the present embodiment, the internal lottery process is completed before the reels 41a to 41c described later reach steady rotation, but may be completed before the reels 41a to 41c start rotation. .

Each of the reels 41a to 41c is an example of a variable display means, and a plurality of (for example, 20) symbols serving as identification information are provided on the circumferential surface of each of the reels 41a to 41c as shown in FIG. , "Replay", "Bell", "Cavan", "Cherry", "Red 7", "Blue 7", "Bar 1", "Bar 2", "Blank 1" and "Blank 2" are shown respectively After the rotational speed is gradually increased from the stop state, steady rotation which rotates at a constant speed is reached.
When such steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 5a to 5c provided corresponding to the respective reels 41a to 41c are in a state where the pressing operation is possible.

  The stop buttons 5a to 5c are an example of operation means for performing the stop operation of the reel 41. For example, when the light emitting means such as the LEDs incorporated in the stop buttons 5a to 5c are turned on, the pressing operation becomes possible. In such a state, when each stop button 5 is pressed, the reels 41a to 41c are stop-controlled so that the combination of symbols permitted by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process is stopped. Ru.

In the stop state, three symbols continuous in the vertical direction represented on each of the reels 41a to 41c are stopped (sometimes referred to as stop display) so as to face the machine from the display window 6, and the stop display mode at this time The presence or absence of a prize is determined based on the above.
In the present embodiment, the winning determination is made based on the combination of symbols stopped only on the middle line among the upper, middle, lower lines, the lines falling to the right, and the lines rising to the right. It has become.
The number of activated lines (also referred to as winning lines) for determining winning is not limited to one, but may be changed appropriately depending on the arrangement of symbols, types of symbols, and combinations of symbols corresponding to winning combinations. Can.

The combination of symbols to be determined corresponds to, for example, a small winning combination, a replay combination, a bonus combination, etc., as shown in FIG. 4 (b) as an example.
The minor roles include, for example, a bell, a cherry, a bag, and a chance. Incidentally, in the following description, the role of cherry, the role of bag and the role of chance are collectively referred to as "role of rare".
As a combination of symbols corresponding to the bell role, "bell bell bell" and "replay bell bag" are set in the order of "left reel 41a, middle reel 41b, right reel 41c" on the pay line .
The bell combination has a combination of symbols by following the “common bell” (“bell bell bell”) in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of the operation order (referred to as pressing order) for the stop buttons 5a to 5c and pushing order. There is a "push order bell"("replay bell bag") that aligns.
The pushing order bells are provided with pushing order bells 1 to 3 corresponding to the three pushing orders respectively, and the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in the operation order corresponding to each winning order bell 1 to 3 By doing this, the symbol is stopped and displayed.
If only the reels to be stopped first are matched, stop control of the reels may be performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the bell combination is stopped, and only the stop button to be stopped first may be notified. Also, the pushing order bells are not limited to three, and six pushing order bells 1 to 6 may be provided.

In addition, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the role of cherry, "bar 1 · red 7 · red 7" (referred to weak cherry), "bar 1 · red 7 · blue 7" (referred to strong cherry), "cherry ANY · ANY "(However, ANY is any pattern) (such as middle cherry).
In addition, there are "Bell Red 7 Bell" etc. as a combination of symbols corresponding to the role of bag, and there is "Bell, bag, bag" etc. as a combination of symbols corresponding to a chance role.

As combinations of symbols corresponding to the replay role, there are "Replay / Replay / Replay" (normal replay) in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of pressing order, and "pushing order replay" in which combinations of symbols are aligned by pressing sequence.
As push back order replay, RT1 transition replay ("Replay Red 7. Bell", etc.), RT2 transition replay ("Replay Replay Bell", etc.), RT3 transition replay ("Replay Replay Bag", etc.), RT4 transition Replay ("Bell Replay Red 7", etc.), Sand Replay ("Bell Blank 1 Bell"), and fake sand Replay ("Bell Replay Red 7", etc.) are set.
When RT1 transition replay, RT2 transition replay, RT3 transition replay, RT4 transition replay (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "RT transition replay" as well) are won, the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in the corresponding pressing order. Thus, the symbols corresponding to each combination are stopped and displayed.
On the other hand, when the RT transition replay is won, when the stop buttons 5a to 5c are not operated in the corresponding pressing order, combinations of symbols of "replay, replay, replay" may be aligned. For example, the combination of symbols corresponding to the RT transition replay is stopped and displayed in the pressing order of 1/6, and the "replay, replay, replay" is stopped and displayed in the pressing order of 5/6.
Further, the RT transition replay is configured to function as a state transition trigger role that becomes a transition trigger from the current gaming state (RT state) to another gaming state (RT state).
That is, RT transition replay is more than promotion replay or current gaming state (RT state) that triggers transition to another gaming state (RT state) that is more advantageous to the player than the current gaming state (RT state). It functions as a fall fall replay that triggers a transition to another gaming state (RT state) that is disadvantageous to the player.
As described above, when the RT transition replay is won and the stop buttons 5a to 5c are not operated in the corresponding pressing order, the "replay, replay, replay" is stopped and displayed, and the RT state is It is designed not to migrate.
The details of the RT state will be described later.

The sundry play is a winning combination to be selected in a "bonus gaming state" (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a bonus) to be described later.
If the sundry play is won during the bonus, “BELL BLANK 1 BELL” can be stopped and displayed as a combination of specific symbols, and a benefit advantageous to the player (such as the right to transition to ART) is given. May be
Hereinafter, a mode in which the "blank 1" symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle line of such a middle reel 41b, that is, the "bar 1" symbol, the "blank 1" design and the "bar 2" symbol in order from the top to the middle reel 41b. The mode (the first stop mode) in which the stop display is performed is referred to as a specific display (see FIG. 31A).
The fake sand replay is a winning combination for sand replay, and it is a winning combination to be drawn during a bonus, and the combination of symbols (such as "bell, replay, red 7", etc.) is aligned regardless of the pushing order and specified The outcome is not displayed as a stop, and a benefit advantageous to the player is not given.

Also, among the winning combinations, "bag", "weak cherry", "strong cherry", and "chance eye" correspond to the four-step set values (hereinafter referred to as game set values) set in the slot machine 1. And the winning combination (setting difference no rare combination) whose winning probability does not change according to the game setting value.
The setting difference rare character combination is set to be more likely to be won as the numerical value of the game setting value is larger, while the setting difference no rare character combination is set to the same winning probability in all four game setting values. ing.
Also, the set difference rare role must be won twice as the bonus role (except CZRB). The present invention is not limited to this, and the set difference rare combination may be elected alone.
In addition, the setting difference existence rare role and the setting difference non-rare combination are not limited to these, and can be set arbitrarily.
In the following description, the setting difference rare character is "bag 1", "weak cherry 1", "strong cherry 1", "chance eye 1", the setting difference no rare role is "bag 2", "weak cherry 2 "Strong cherry 2", "chance 2" will be divided and described.

In addition, as a bonus role, big bonus and regular bonus are set, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the big bonus, "red 7 red 7 red 7" (big bonus BB1), blue 7 blue 7・ There is Blue 7 "(Super Big Bonus, BB2), and as a combination of symbols corresponding to regular bonus," Red, Red 7 · Bar 1 "(RB1)," Blue 7 · Blue 7 · Bar 1 "(RB2) There is.
In addition, a CZ regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as "CZRB") is set as a bonus combination, and there is "BELL BLANK 1 / CHERRY" as a combination of symbols corresponding to CZRB. That is, when the CZRB is won, the "specified outcome" can be displayed stopped on the middle reel 41b.
The bonus combination is a winning combination capable of carrying over the right of winning as long as the combination of the corresponding symbols does not stop even in the winning game and the subsequent games. Therefore, the bonus winning state is maintained until the bonus combination is won by stopping the corresponding combination of symbols (hereinafter, this gaming state is referred to as "bonus internal winning state").

Also, among the bonus roles, the big bonus and the regular bonus are bonus (setting difference bonus) having a difference in winning probability according to the 4-step game setting values set in the slot machine 1, and the game setting of each step Divided into bonus with no difference in winning probability (setting difference no bonus) by value. Specifically, setting difference bonus with big bonus (hereinafter also referred to as setting difference BB1), setting difference no bonus with big bonus ( Hereinafter, it is also referred to as setting difference no BB1), setting difference existing bonus in super big bonus (hereinafter referred to as setting difference existing BB2), setting difference no bonus in super big bonus (hereinafter referred to as setting difference no BB2), regular bonus In the setting difference bonus in (hereinafter referred to as setting difference RB), in regular bonus Setting difference no bonus (hereinafter, also referred to as setting difference no RB).
The setting difference bonus is double-wined at a predetermined ratio when winning the setting difference rare role, and the setting difference no bonus is double-winning at the predetermined ratio when winning the setting difference no rare role.
Further, it is assumed that combinations of symbols corresponding to the setting difference bonus and the setting difference no bonus in each bonus are set by the same symbol combination.
Not only this but big bonus and regular bonus may be won alone.

As a result of determining the combination of symbols stopped on the pay line, when the combination of the symbols is the combination of the symbols corresponding to each of the above, it is determined that a prize is established and a bonus is awarded according to the establishment of each prize. Disbursement of a number of medals, etc. is performed.
For example, eight medals are paid out by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the pushing order bell.
At this time, if the winning order bell is won, if the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in the designated operation order and the corresponding symbol combination is stopped, eight sheets are paid out, but in the designated pressing order If the stop buttons 5a to 5c are not operated, two medals will be awarded if it is possible to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the "two-sheet combination"("Replay bar 1 red 7 etc.") It will be.
In addition, when the stop buttons 5a to 5c are not operated in the specified operation order, if it is not possible to stop the combination of the symbols corresponding to the two-piece combination, a "pushing order bell" occurs and a predetermined symbol is generated. Combination is stopped (hereinafter this symbol combination is referred to as "bell spilled eyes"), and it is arranged that the payout is not made.

In addition, one medal is paid out by the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the bag combination, and one medal is paid out by the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the cherry combination.
The winning probability of each winning combination is "Replay combination">"bellcombination">"bag">"weakcherries">"chancechance">"strongcherries" in each of the game states described later except the "bonus". It is assumed that the relationship of "medium cherry", that is, the "replay role" is most easily won, and that "medium cherry" is most difficult to be won.

Further, with regard to the bell role, the winning probability may be set such that the number of medals per game increases by 1.4 during the ART.
In addition, by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay role, a replay winning prize is established, and it becomes possible to play a game without inserting medals in the next game, that is, without spending medals.

  Further, since the symbols of the role of bell and the role of replay are arranged within five consecutive frames in all the reels 41a to 41c, they can be always stopped on the pay line by the four-frame pull-in stop control. On the other hand, since the symbols other than Bell and Replay are not necessarily arranged within 5 consecutive frames, the winning combination can not be stopped on the pay line even if the 4-frame pull-in stop control is performed. There is a case. That is, in order to stop these symbols on the pay line, it is necessary to aim the desired symbols and press the stop buttons 5a to 5c (so-called eye-pressing operation).

  Next, the configuration of a control system of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component which is the same as that of the component demonstrated in FIG.1 and FIG.2, or it corresponds.

The main control unit 10 includes a CPU (not shown) that performs various arithmetic processing and the like, a ROM (not shown) that stores control programs and control data, etc., a storage area that temporarily stores various data, and a work area of the CPU. A RAM (not shown) and the like are provided.
In addition, the bet button 2a, the medal selector 2b, the start lever 3, and the stop button 5 (stop buttons 5a to 5c) are connected to the main control unit 10, so that signals from sensors incorporated in each device can be input. It is done.
Further, based on the signal from the start lever 3, the main control unit 10 performs a game start process, a process of sampling random numbers from a random number generator (not shown), and the like. Then, the main control unit 10 performs an internal lottery process of a combination based on the sampled random numbers.

The main control unit 10 is connected to the drum unit 4, the medal payout device 7, the advantageous state lamp 13, and the sub control unit 20, and is configured to be able to output signals to the respective devices.
The main control unit 10 performs a game start process of rotating the reels 41a to 41c based on a signal from the start lever 3, and performs a process of stopping the reels 41a to 41c.
Further, the main control unit 10 drives the medal payout device 7 based on the establishment of the medal payout condition at the end of the game, and performs a process of paying out the medals.
Further, the advantageous state lamp 13 is configured of, for example, an LED, and the main control unit 10 performs a process of lighting the advantageous state lamp 13 when a gaming state advantageous to the player such as ART occurs. The main control unit 10 may turn on the advantageous state lamp 13 when the ART is internally won.

  In addition, a display 8, a speaker 9, a lamp 11, and a navigation lamp 12 are connected to the sub control unit 20, and signals can be output to each device. The sub control unit 20 is a main control unit. Based on the control information of only one direction from 10, the image processing of the predetermined effect in the display 8, the output treatment of the speaker 9 for performing various effects and notification, the lighting process of the lamp 11 configured by the LED and the like Etc. Further, the navigation lamp 12 is, for example, an LED, and the sub control unit 20 navigates the operation order of the stop button 5 during the generation of the gaming state such as ART based on the control information from the main control unit 10. A lighting process of the navigation lamp 12 for (informing) is performed.

In addition to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a gaming state as shown below and characteristic gaming characteristics based on the gaming state.
First, an RT state of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

(RT state)
In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, there are three settings of low, medium and high as winning probability of “replay combination” in internal lottery process, and RT0 to 8 states (hereinafter, also simply referred to as RT0 to 8) have. Each gaming state is controlled (hereinafter, also referred to as transition) to the respective gaming state by the main control unit 10 operating as the replay state control means, and each has the following features. ing.
Broadly speaking, RT0 to RT4 stay in the non-bonus gaming state, RT5 stays in the bonus internal winning state, and RT6 to RT8 stay in the bonus gaming state.

RT0 is a low replay probability, and for example, in the internal lottery process, it is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 7.3, and a game which is more disadvantageous to the player than RT2 to 4 in the win probability of the replay role. It is a state.
The rush to RT0 is triggered by the end of the bonus, and then shifts to RT0.
In addition, the end of RT0, when the "push order bell" at RT0 wins, "push order bell" occurs drop-off, and then it is transitioned from RT0 to RT1 when "the bell spilled eyes" is stopped. Do.
Further, the end of RT0 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT0, and thereafter, it shifts from RT0 to RT5.
As described above, RT0 is not a limited game state in which the game period is determined in advance, and unless there is a stoppage of "Bell Spilled Eyes", or unless winning a bonus, an infinite game state which does not shift to another game state (Infinite RT).

RT1 is a low replay probability, and is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 7.3, for example, in the internal lottery process, and a game which is more disadvantageous to the player than RT2 to 4 in the win probability of the replay role. It is a state.
The rush to RT1 is triggered by turning on the power with operation of a predetermined initialization switch etc. or changing the game setting value (including the case where the same game setting value is reset (including the re-setting of the setting value)), and then Migrate to RT1.
Further, the rush to RT1 is triggered by the stop of the "bell spilled eyes" at the time of winning the "push order bell" in RT0, and thereafter shifts from RT0 to RT1.
Further, rushing to RT1 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT1 transition replay (falling replay)” in RT2 and RT3, and thereafter, it shifts to RT1 from RT2 and RT3.
In addition, the rush to RT1 is triggered by the fact that 30 games have been played in RT4, and thereafter, it shifts from RT4 to RT1.
Further, the termination of RT1 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "RT2 transition replay (promotion replay)" in RT1, and thereafter, it shifts from RT1 to RT2.
Further, the end of RT1 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT1, and thereafter, it shifts from RT1 to RT5.
As described above, RT1 is not a limited gaming state in which the game period is determined in advance, but does not shift to another gaming state unless the combination of symbols corresponding to RT transition replay is stopped or a bonus is won. It is in the gaming state (infinite RT).

RT2 is a high replay probability, and for example, in the internal lottery process, it is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 1.5, and a game which is more advantageous to the player than RT0 and 1 in the win probability of the replay role. It is a state.
Specifically, rushing to RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of the symbols corresponding to “RT2 transition replay” in RT1 and RT3 and thereafter shifts from RT1 and RT3 to RT2.
Further, the termination of RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT3 transition replay (promotion replay)” in RT2, and thereafter, the transition from RT2 to RT3 is made.
Further, the termination of RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "RT1 transition replay" in RT2, and thereafter, it shifts from RT2 to RT1.
Further, the termination of RT2 occurs when a "push bell" drop occurs in RT2 and the "bell spilled eyes" stop, and thereafter, the flow shifts from RT2 to RT1.
Further, the end of RT2 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT2, and thereafter, it shifts from RT2 to RT5.
As described above, RT2 is not a limited game state in which the game period is determined in advance, and the combination of symbols corresponding to RT transition replay is stopped, unless the "bell spilled eyes" is stopped or the bonus is not won. It is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to other gaming states.

RT3 is a high replay probability, and for example, in the internal lottery process, it is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 1.5, and a game which is more advantageous to the player than RT0 or 1 in the win probability of the replay role. It is a state.
The rush to RT3 is shifted from RT2 to RT3 after the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT3 transition replay” is stopped in RT2.
Further, the termination of RT3 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "RT4 transition replay (promotion replay)" in RT3, and thereafter, the transition from RT3 to RT4 is made.
Further, termination of RT3 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "RT1 transition replay" or "RT2 transition replay" in RT3, and thereafter, the transition from RT3 to RT1 or RT2.
Further, the end of RT3 occurs when a drop in "pushing order bell" occurs in RT3 and the "bell spilled eye" stops, and thereafter, it shifts from RT3 to RT1.
Further, the end of RT3 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT3, and thereafter, it shifts from RT3 to RT5.
As described above, RT3 is not a limited game state in which the game period is determined in advance, but the combination of symbols corresponding to RT transition replay is stopped, unless "bell spill eyes" is stopped, or unless a bonus is won. It is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to other gaming states.

Further, in RT3, “RT3 guaranteed game number” (for example, 5 games) in which a period for notifying a pressing order that can stay in RT3 is guaranteed may be given.
For example, after the entry into the RT3, the subtraction of the RT3 guarantee game number is started, and until the RT3 guarantee game number reaches “0”, if “RT1 transition replay” or “RT2 transition replay” is won, “replay・ Replay ・ Replay ・ The push order to stop the combination of symbols is informed and you can stay at RT3 as it is. On the other hand, if the number of RT3 guaranteed games has reached “0” (after reaching “0”), the pressing order in which the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT2 transition replay” such as “replay, replay, bell” is stopped Is reported, the possibility of falling by RT2 is high.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to the RT3 transition replay is stopped ignoring the push order navigation, the number of RT3 guaranteed games is not given. However, not limited to this, the number of RT3 guaranteed games may be given.
As described above, RT3 can stay for a period during which the number of RT3 guaranteed games is present, and is in the RT state where the staying time is short compared to RT2.

RT4 is a high replay probability, and is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 1.5, for example, in the internal lottery process, and is more advantageous for the player than RT0 or 1 in the win probability of the replay role. .
The rush to RT4 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT4 transition replay” in RT3, and thereafter, it shifts from RT3 to RT4.
Further, the end of RT4 is triggered by the point in time when 30 games have been played, and thereafter, it shifts from RT4 to RT1.
Further, the end of RT4 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT4, and thereafter, it shifts from RT4 to RT5.
As described above, the RT 4 is in a limited game state (finite RT) which is ended by execution of a game a predetermined number of times (30 games).

RT5 is a medium replay probability, and is a bonus internal winning state, and is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 6.0, for example, in the internal lottery process, and RT0, 1 in the winning probability of the replay role. It is more advantageous to the player than the player, and is more disadvantageous to the player than the RT2 to RT4.
The rush to RT5 is triggered by having won a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process in RT0 to 4, and thereafter, it shifts from RT0 to 4 to RT5.
Further, the end of RT5 is triggered by the stop of the combination of bonus symbols, and thereafter, the transition from RT5 to a bonus (RT6 to RT8) is made.
As described above, RT5 is a bonus internal winning state, and is not a limited gaming state in which a game period is determined in advance, and does not shift to another gaming state unless the combination of bonus symbols is stopped. It is RT.

RT6 to RT8 have a low replay probability and are bonus game states.
The rush to RT6 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to the big bonus (BB1) at RT5, and thereafter, it shifts from RT5 to RT6.
The rush to RT7 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to the super big bonus (BB2) in RT5, and thereafter, it shifts from RT5 to RT7.
The rush to RT8 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to the regular bonus (RB1, RB2) at RT5, and thereafter, it shifts from RT5 to RT8.
In addition, the end of RT6 is triggered by the point when the medals exceeding 216 are paid out, and the end of RT7 is triggered by the point when the medals exceeding 297 are paid out, the end of RT8 is 63 points The timing is shifted to RT0 from RT6 to 8 when triggered by the point when the medal exceeding is paid out.
As described above, the bonus is a gaming state which is ended by the payout of medals exceeding a predetermined number.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a plurality of RT states with different degrees of advantage are provided, and the state of RT0 to 1 is relatively disadvantageous to the player, and the state of RT to 2 to RT is relatively advantageous to the player. The game has the game property of transitioning to a bonus gaming state of RT 6 to 8 through RT 5 by the bonus winning inside.
In such game characteristics, it is preferable for the player to shift (promotion) from RT1 to RT2 to 4, and it is most preferable for the player not to shift from RT2 to 4 to RT1 (fall).

Therefore, the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT2 transition replay (promotion replay)”, “RT3 transition replay (promotion replay)”, “RT4 transition replay (promotion replay)”, and “RT1 transition replay (falling replay)” is stopped. Since it is stopped by the difference in the pushing order to the button 5, in RT1 to 3, the combination of symbols corresponding to the promotion replay is stopped, or in RT2 and 3, the fall replay is not stopped, It is preferable for the player to operate the stop button 5.
However, it has become apparent that it can not be determined whether or not these promotion replays and fall replays have been won, so that combinations of symbols corresponding to these promotion replays and fall replays do not stop or stop. The stop button 5 can not be operated.

  Therefore, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, promotion replay is stopped by notifying (navigating) a symbol or the like serving as an indication of pressing order or eye-pressing on the stop button 5 through notification means such as the display 8. Alternatively, the player is given a benefit of assisting the player not to stop the fall replay, and the player is assisted.

Specifically, as a notification example of push order (information about operation), when winning RT2 transition replay during RT1, a combination of symbols corresponding to RT2 transition replay ("Replay Replay Bell") is displayed. At 8, the display such as “left → middle → right” is performed, and the voices are output from the speaker 9 in the order of “left”, “middle”, and “right”.
In addition, at this time, the navigation lamp 12 is lighted in the corresponding order “12a → 12b → 12c”.
That is, the operation on the stop button 5 is navigated through the notification means such as the display 8, the speaker 9, the navigation lamp 12 and the like.
As a result, when the player operates the stop button 5 in accordance with the navigation, the RT2 transition replay is stopped.
Such a gaming state informing the pushing order or the like performed over the predetermined number of games is referred to as ART (ART state) (assist replay time).
And, such ART is given to the player by winning the transition lottery of various ARTs described later.

(ART state)
In the ART state, promotion to the RT state preferable for the player and prevention of falling to the RT state undesirable for the player are supported.
Specifically, when winning the “RT3 transition replay” in RT2, the “RT3 transition replay” informs the order of possible winnings with a probability of 66/255, and operates the stop button 5 according to the notification. , Can be promoted from RT2 to RT3.
In addition, when winning in "RT4 transition replay" in RT3, "RT4 transition replay" notifies the order of possible winnings only when staying in the pullback ART described later, and operates stop button 5 according to this notification. As a result, you can promote RT3 to RT4.
When the RT3 transition replay or the RT4 transition replay is won, if the stop buttons 5a to 5c are not operated in the corresponding pressing order, "replay / replay / replay" may be stopped and displayed. In this case, the RT state is not transitioned.

  In RT2 and RT3, when "RT1 transition replay" is won, the combination of symbols corresponding to this is informed of the pressing order not to be stopped, and the stop button 5 is operated according to the notification, thereby RT2 to RT1. It will be possible to stay at RT2 and 3 as it is without falling.

  Further, in RT2 to 4, when the push order bell is won, the push order corresponding to this is informed, and by operating the stop button 5 in accordance with the notification, eight medals are awarded. Therefore, in particular, in RTs 2 to 4, in addition to the benefit that the replay is won with a high probability, the pushing order corresponding to the bell combination is informed, the benefit to which the medal is given is added, and an increase in medals can be expected It becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the number of games is used as a value capable of managing the ART state. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the number of small winnings such as a bell, the number of medals obtained, the number of medals paid out The difference number (difference between the inserted medal and the paid-out medal) or the like can also be used.

As described above, the slot machine 1 is configured to be able to control a plurality of RT states and ART states by the main control unit 10 operating as the replay state control means and the gaming state control means.
Further, in addition to such a configuration, in the slot machine 1, the main control unit 10 is a game state control means, a replay state control means, a winning combination determination means, a game number counting means, a lottery means, a game medium giving means, a stop display By operating as a control means, a privilege giving means, a first lottery means, a second lottery means, a third lottery means, a subtracting means, a first lottery probability determining means, a judging means and a continuation judging means, By operating as the effect execution means, it is possible to realize the following characteristic game characteristics.
Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, while the main control unit 10 cooperates with the sub control unit 20, a plurality of types of gaming states as shown in FIGS. Have sex.
Hereinafter, each gaming state and state transition will be described with reference to the respective drawings.

The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, has a plurality of gaming states including a normal stage, a chance zone, a bonus, and an ART.
In the normal stage, when a bonus combination other than CZRB is won, transition to a bonus is made by stopping the combination of corresponding bonus symbols (arrow A in FIG. 7). In the bonus, when the total number of medals paid out to the player exceeds a predetermined number, the bonus ends and the game shifts to the normal stage (arrow B in FIG. 7).
Further, in the normal stage, when the player has won the lottery executed with the setting difference no rare feature winning or CZRB, the game shifts to the chance zone (arrow C in FIG. 7). In the chance zone, if the ART transition lottery is not won until the predetermined number of games have been executed, the chance zone ends and the stage shifts to the normal stage (arrow D in FIG. 7).
In addition, in the special stage, which will be described later, of the normal stages, when it is elected to the setting difference no rare role or CZRB, it shifts to ART (arrow F in FIG. 7).

In the chance zone, when a winning lottery for transition to ART is won, the transition to ART is made (arrow E in FIG. 7).
When a bonus combination other than CZRB is won in the chance zone 2 described later among the chance zones, the game shifts to a bonus by stopping the combination of corresponding bonus symbols (arrow K in FIG. 7).

In ART, when a bonus combination other than CZRB is won, transition to a bonus is made by stopping a combination of corresponding bonus symbols (arrow H in FIG. 7). If this bonus is over, it returns to ART (arrow I in FIG. 7).
In addition, in ART, the duration of ART is managed by the number of ART games, and when the number of ART games is exhausted, ART is ended and it shifts to the normal stage (arrow G in FIG. 7). Also, when the advantageous section described later is ended, the ART is ended, and the process shifts to the normal stage (arrow G in FIG. 7).
In the bonus, a transition lottery to an opportunity zone or ART is made, and when winning, it shifts to an opportunity zone or ART after the end of the bonus (arrows J and I in FIG. 7).

Here, the normal section and the advantageous section provided in the slot machine 1 will be described.
These sections are divided according to the game state, and, for example, the normal stage and the bonus (set difference bonus) are defined as normal sections. Also, the chance zone, bonus (no set difference bonus), and ART are defined as advantageous sections.
The transition between the normal section and the advantageous section shifts to the advantageous section after the third reel stop operation of the winning game when the set difference no-rare combination or CZRB is won in the normal section.
The third reel is a reel on which the stop operation is performed at the final third operation when the stop operations of the three reels 41a to 41c are performed a total of three times. Further, “after the third reel stop operation” means after the point when the player releases a finger or the like from the stop button 5 which has been operated to stop the third reel.

The advantageous section is a section where it is possible to stay continuously until it shifts to the normal section again after shifting from the normal section, and during the stay in the advantageous section, the number of times the game has been executed is counted (game number counting means ).
The termination condition of the advantageous section needs to satisfy at least one of the following conditions.
(A) Notification of at least one push order bell (b) That the number of games in the advantageous section has reached 1500 games of the upper limit number of games (hereinafter, also referred to as a specific number or limiter) (b) When the condition is satisfied, it is not possible to stay in the advantageous section, and while erasing the number of games in the advantageous section (initializing to 0 times), the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT1 transition replay” is stopped. In response to the stoppage of the "Bell Spilled Eye", the system shifts to RT1.
The termination condition of the advantageous section is an example, and other conditions may be provided. For example, it may include that a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined bonus combination is stopped and displayed. Further, the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section is not limited to 1500 games, but is preferably 1500 games or less.

Further, during the advantageous section, the advantageous status lamp 13 is turned on.
Thereby, if the bonus won during the normal section is the setting difference no bonus, the advantageous status lamp 13 is turned on, and if the bonus won during the normal section is the setting differential bonus, the advantageous status lamp 13 is not lighted It will be in the state of
On the other hand, even if the bonus won during the advantageous section is either the setting difference no bonus or the setting difference bonus, the advantageous state lamp 13 remains lit.
Thus, lighting / non-lighting of the advantageous state lamp 13 during the bonus is different depending on the type of the advantageous section and the bonus.
The advantageous state lamp 13 may be, for example, a 7-segment "dot" portion or the like instead.

Next, each gaming state controlled by the main control unit 10 (playing state control means) will be described in detail.
<Normal stage>
The normal stage is a gaming state in which the user stays at the time of power-on with the operation of a predetermined initialization switch or the like, and is a gaming state in which the majority of the gaming in the slot machine 1 is occupied.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the "general stage" and the "special stage" having different degrees of advantage in the normal stage are provided.
Since the general stage is basically a non-ART state in which the push order navigation does not appear, staying at RT 0, 1, a game state disadvantageous to the player in which the medals of the player's hand gradually decrease as the game continues. It is.
Therefore, on the general stage, a transition lottery to a chance zone for performing a transition lottery of ART is performed.
The chance zone is composed of chance zone 1 (hereinafter referred to as CZ1) and chance zone 2 (hereinafter referred to as CZ2) (see FIG. 9).
The transition from the general stage to CZ1 is made by stopping and displaying the combination of symbols corresponding to CZRB when CZRB is won in the internal lottery process (arrow C-1 in FIGS. 8 and 9).
In addition, the transition from the general stage to CZ2 is a setting difference no rare combination in the internal lottery process ("bag 2", "weak cherry 2", "strong cherry 2" and "chance 2") or "medium cherry" It transfers, when it wins to the transition lottery performed triggered by having won (arrow C-2 in FIG. 8, 9).

Next, the transition from the general stage to CZ2 will be described.
In the transition from the general stage to CZ2, a precursor state accompanied by a precursor effect performed on the display 8 or the like is passed.
Specifically, in the general stage, in the internal lottery process, in the case of winning the set difference no rare role or CZRB, the type of the prognostic state (fake prognostic or CZ prognostic) is determined.
For example, in the case of winning "Kavan 2", it will be elected as a fake precursor with a probability of 245/255, and with a probability of 10/255 it will be elected as a CZ precursor, and when it is won as "strong cherry 2", 204. If you win a fake precursor with a probability of / 255, a CZ precursor with a probability of 51/255, and a "CZRB", you will win a fake precursor with a probability of 245/255 and a probability of 10/255 In order to win the CZ precursor (see Figure 12).
In addition, when it is elected to CZ precursor based on having been elected to CZRB, the transition to ART is decided.

In addition, the number of games (precursor number of games) for which fake precursor and CZ precursor (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “precursor”) are executed is, for example, one out of 18 games to 20 with probability 1/3. It is selected.
In addition, when a fake precursor is won based on winning the CZRB, the number of precursor games is 18 games at the end of the CZRB only when not winning the transition lottery to ART during the shifted CZRB. ~ ~ Determined from within the game, and during this determined precursory game number is to control to fake precursory.

When the fake precursor is selected, either the low probability state where the transition probability to CZ2 is relatively low or the high probability state where the transition probability to CZ2 is relatively high is determined according to the winning combination. .
For example, when “Kavan 2” is won, the player is elected in the low probability state with 128/255 probability, elected in the high probability state with 127/255 probability, and elected with “CZRB”, the probability of 255/255 Is set to always win the high probability state (see FIG. 13).

Then, with the chance of winning the rare role during the fake sign, a lottery for transition to CZ2 is performed according to the current transition probability state.
For example, when winning "weak cherry 2" in the low probability state, it wins with a probability of 20/255, and when winning "weak cherry 2" in the high probability state, it wins with probability 60/255 The winning probability has a relationship of “medium cherry”> “strong cherry 2”> “chance 2”> “weak cherry 2”> “bag 2” (FIG. 14 (a), ( b) see).
In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, although the winning probability of CZ 2 is set to be the same in all RT states, the present invention is not limited to this, and the winning probability may be different for each RT state.

  In addition, during the fake sign, if you do not win the order bell until you have fully consumed the aura game number, the transition to CZ2 is decided. This is because all of the precursor game numbers have been consumed, and at least one push order bell notification, which is the ending condition of the advantageous section, is performed even in a situation in which the advantageous section transitions to the normal stage which is the normal section. The control is performed because the advantageous section can not be ended because it does not satisfy the event.

The special stage is a gaming state in which 30 games continue, and basically, it is a non-ART state in which the user stays at RT 4 and push order navigation does not appear.
The transition to the special stage is from the general stage (arrow a1 in FIG. 8), from pull-back ART described later (arrow G-1 in FIGS. 8 and 11), and from challenge ART described later There is a case of transition (arrow G-3 in FIGS. 8 and 11).
However, since the general stage is in the non-ART state, push-through navigation of the RT4 transition replay that assists the transition to RT4 does not occur, so the probability of transition from the general stage to the special stage is very low.

In the special stage, when winning the set difference no rare role or CZRB in the internal lottery process, the transition to the ART is determined (arrow F in FIG. 8, 11). That is, the special stage is a gaming state in which the probability of transition to the ART is higher than that of the general stage.
The end of the special stage is triggered by the fact that 30 games have been played (arrow a2 in FIG. 8) or transition to a bonus (arrow A in FIG. 8) except when transition to ART has been decided To finish.
In the following description, the transition right acquired when the transition to ART is determined is referred to as "ART stock".

<CZ1>
CZ1 is a gaming state in which a transition lottery to ART is mainly performed, and a combination of symbols corresponding to CZRB is displayed in a stopped state during a normal stage stay, and a transition is made, and 8 wins or 12 games It is a form of a bonus (CZRB) to be ended.
That is, in CZ1, a transition lottery to ART is performed while executing a bonus game.
Also, in CZ1, although the RT status before transition is inherited, the probability of winning the "common bell" (for example, 1 / 3.1) is higher than the non-bonus status of RT0 to RT4, but the small part (except for replay) Since the probability of winning does not increase, it is a gaming state in which the payout may not increase depending on the situation.

In CZ1, when the “common bell” is won, a transition lottery to ART is performed in the game.
Specifically, in accordance with the "CZ level" having an initial value of "0" and set to eight levels (1 to 8), the winning ratio of the transition lottery to ART is associated, and this CZ The higher the level, the higher the expectation of winning.
The CZ level is increased by +1 each time the common bell is won during CZ1, and an ART transition lottery is performed based on the raised CZ level.
For example, when a common bell is won in the first game after the start of CZ1, a lottery is performed based on the winning probability (10/255) corresponding to the CZ level "1" (see FIG. 15). When the CZ level is "8", that is, when the common bell has won eight times in CZ1, a lottery is performed based on the winning probability (255/255) corresponding to the CZ level "8". In this case, the transition to ART is determined (see FIG. 15).
That is, in CZ1, as the common bell is won, it is easier to shift to ART.

When winning in a transition lottery of ART in CZ1, it is informed that it will transition to ART in the final game of CZ1, and it will shift to ART (arrow E-1 in FIG. 9, 11). On the other hand, when not winning, it is informed that it does not shift to ART in the final game of CZ1, and it returns to the general stage (arrow D-1 in FIGS. 8 and 9).
In addition, when it has not won the common bell at least once during 1 to 11 games in CZ1, the transition to ART is decided.
Also, for example, when a special CZ1 (hereinafter, SPCZ1) is provided separately from the CZ1 and the winning lottery for ART transition is made while staying in the SPCZ1, the final game of the SPCZ1 is not an SPCZ1, but the ART transition In addition to notifying that the game has won the lottery, the transition to the ART may be made, and after the end of the SPCZ 1, the transition may be determined to “Battle ART” described later.

<CZ2>
CZ2 is a gaming state in which a transition lottery to ART is mainly performed, and a transition probability to ART is higher than CZ1, and basically 15 games are continued.
Unlike CZ1, CZ2 is in a non-bonus state, and since it is in a non-ART state and push order navigation does not appear, basically, it stays at RT1 and the medals of the player's hand gradually decrease as the game continues. It is a gaming state.
In CZ2, the transition lottery of ART is executed based on a predetermined winning probability (for example, 5/255) for each game for 15 games. In addition, in accordance with the winning of the rare role, the transition lottery of ART is performed based on a predetermined winning probability according to the winning of the rare role.

In CZ2, it develops in a series of stories consisting of the first half (for example, 10 games) where the main character gets items as the game progresses and the second half (for example, 5 games) where the main character fights against the enemy characters The effect to be executed is different according to the result of the ART transition lottery.
For example, in the first half, in a scene where the main character acquires an item, when an ART is won, an effect of acquiring an item with a higher probability than when not winning an ART is executed. ing.
In the second half, in the scene where the main character fights against the enemy character, if the player wins the ART, an image that the main character wins is displayed, and it is informed that the transition to the ART will be made, and transition to the ART (Arrow E-2 in FIGS. 9 and 11). On the other hand, when the ART is not won, an image in which the main character loses the enemy character is displayed, and the process shifts to the general stage (arrow D-2 in FIG. 8, 9).

When a bonus is won in CZ2, the transition to ART is determined when the won bonus is the setting difference no bonus, and when the winning bonus is the setting difference bonus, the final game of CZ2 If not (the 15th game), the transition to ART is determined (arrow K in FIG. 9, 10). On the other hand, when the setting difference bonus is won in the final game (the 15th game) of CZ2, after the setting difference bonus ends, the process shifts to the general stage.
In addition, as mentioned above, if you do not win the bell in order to finish the number of prognostic games during the prognostic stage of the general stage, it is not possible to end the advantageous section, and in the case of transition to CZ2, Also in CZ2 of, the transition to ART is finalized when the player does not win the push order bell for 15 games.

<Bonus>
The bonus is a game state advantageous to the player who can expect an increase in game media, and rushes by stopping the combination of bonus symbols corresponding to the bonus combination (arrows A, K, H in FIG. 7, 10). It ends when the number of payouts is exceeded.
Further, as mentioned above, the bonus includes big bonus (BB1), super big bonus (BB2), regular bonus (RB), etc., and each bonus is a setting difference bonus (setting difference existence BB1, setting difference existence) It is divided into BB2, setting difference RB, and setting difference no bonus (setting difference no BB1, setting difference no BB2, setting difference no RB).

<Big bonus>
The big bonus is repeatedly won at a predetermined rate when the player is won the rare role, and ends when over 216 medals have been paid out.
During the big bonus, "common bell", "sand replay", and "fake sand replay" are won regardless of the setting difference bonus and the setting difference no bonus.
For example, "common bell" wins at 1 / 1.2, "sand replay" wins at 1/55, and "fake sand replay" wins at 1 / 7.4.
In addition, the effects to be executed on the display 8 during the big bonus include a normal effect and an ART effect, and the effects to be executed differ according to the gaming state at the time of winning the big bonus. There is.

<Super Big Bonus>
The super big bonus is repeatedly won in a predetermined ratio when winning the role of rare, and ends when the medals of more than 297 are paid out.
The super big bonus is different from the big bonus in that the number of bets is 2 and that 11 medals are awarded by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to "common bell".
During the super big bonus, as with the big bonus, "common bell", "sand replay", and "fake sand replay" are won regardless of the setting difference bonus and the setting difference no bonus.
For example, "common bell" wins at 1 / 1.2, "sand replay" wins at 1/25, and "fake sand replay" wins at 1 / 8.9. That is, since the super big bonus is more likely to win the "sand replay" than the big bonus, it is a gaming state in which a benefit (ART stock) is more easily given than the big bonus.
The effects to be executed on the display 8 during the super big bonus include a normal middle effect and an ART middle effect, and the effects to be executed differ depending on the gaming state at the time of winning the super big bonus. There is.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a bonus (right to shift to CZ2, ART stock) is given to the player based on the winning of “Sand Replay” and “Fake Sand Replay” during the Big Bonus and Super Big Bonus. Type of bonus that enables the "specific eye" to be displayed stopped, and the notification of the push order that avoids the specific eye to be displayed stopped. It is designed to notify in response to Therefore, it is difficult to recognize whether the bonus for winning the player is the setting difference bonus or the setting difference bonus, and there is a feature that the interest of the game is not reduced even during the setting difference bonus where the lottery concerning ART is not performed. doing.
The details of this feature will be described later.

<Regular bonus>
The regular bonus is redundantly won at a predetermined ratio in the case of winning the rare role, and ends when over 63 medals have been paid out. Since the "common bell" of the 9-sheet payout is won every game, it ends with the acquisition of 48 sheets.
In addition, when the regular bonus is won, the transition lottery of ART is also performed simultaneously.
Specifically, although the transition lottery of ART is not performed in the setting difference RB, the transition lottery of ART is won, for example, with a probability of 20% with the election of the setting difference no RB (FIG. 10, 11 Arrow I-2).
In the case of winning ART, up to three ART stocks are awarded per winning, for example, the probability of being granted one is 253/255, and the probability of being granted two is 1/255. Yes, the probability of being given three is 1/255. The number of ART stocks to be granted is not limited to this, and may be 4 or more, and the selection probability of the number of grants may be varied for each regular bonus winning opportunity.

Further, normal RB effects and episode RB effects exist in the effects to be executed on the display 8 during the regular bonus.
In the episode RB effect, the game proceeds while a series of stories are executed by the image effect, and the result of the ART transition lottery is notified in the final game.
Then, the normal RB effect is always selected in the setting difference RB, and the normal RB effect or the episode RB effect is selected in the setting difference RB.
For example, in the case of not winning the ART with no setting difference RB, the normal RB effect is selected with a probability of 89/100, and the episode RB effect is selected with a probability of 11/100.
On the other hand, when the ART is won with no setting difference RB, the normal RB effect is selected with a probability of 11/100, and the episode RB effect is selected with a probability of 89/100.
That is, in the case where the episode RB effect is performed, the possibility of winning the transition lottery of ART is higher than when the normal RB effect is performed.
In addition, although the selection difference RB does not change the winning probability of ART according to the gaming state at the time of winning, the invention is not limited thereto, and the winning probability of ART may change according to the gaming state at the time of winning .
Further, in the present embodiment, the transitional drawing of ART is performed when the regular bonus is won, but the drawing of ART may be performed with a predetermined winning probability for each game during the regular bonus.

If big bonus, super big bonus and regular bonus occur during ART, transition to "interval ART" described later after the end of each bonus (in this way, "return" transition to return) Also called). If a bonus occurs during some ARTs (ARTs other than "interval ART", "main ART", and "challenge ART" described later), return to the interrupted ART after the end of the bonus. It has become. Also, the present invention is not limited to this, and all ARTs may return to the interrupted ART after the end of each bonus.
In these cases, the number of games played with the bonus is not subtracted from the number of ART games in ART.
In addition, if a bonus is won during the precursor of the general stage, regardless of the number of precursor games when the bonus is won, the number of precursor games is determined again from among 18 games to 20 games after the bonus is over and set. It is supposed to

<ART>
The ART can be mutually transferred between the normal stage and the bonus based on a predetermined trigger (arrows F, I, E in FIGS. 7 and 11), basically staying at RT2, 3 and This is an AT state in which a corresponding pushing order is notified when a "pushing order bell" or a "pushing order replay" is won, and a game state in which the game is executed advantageously for the player.
However, during the ART, if you miss the order of pushing the “Push Order Replay”, or after the bonus is over when the bonus is won during the ART, stay other than RT2,3.

As shown in FIG. 11, ART includes “interval ART”, “main ART”, “challenge ART”, “pull back ART”, “finalized ART”, “battle ART”, “ending ART”, “limiter ART” Can be divided into
In addition, “draw back ART”, “fixed ART”, “battle ART”, “ending ART” are gaming states with high expectation that can stay in ART for a long time, and in particular “battle ART” and “ending ART” This is a gaming state in which a benefit (ART stock) capable of continuing the ART is easily provided.

<Interval ART>
The interval ART is a gaming state in which the player stays at the beginning after entering the ART, lasts at least six games, and basically stays at RT2,3.
Interval ART is configured as a series of games with three ARTs of the main ART and the challenge ART, and if the RT state is RT2 or more, after executing 6 games of the interval ART, it shifts to the main ART and then the challenge By transitioning to ART, one set of ART game is to be executed. Then, when an ART continuation lottery executed in a challenge ART described later is won, one more set of ART games will be executed.

In addition, in the interval ART, a subtraction lottery is performed to reduce the “number of continuous lotterys” of the ART continuation lottery performed in the challenge ART.
Specifically, an every game subtraction lottery is performed according to the winning combination won in the internal lottery process and the current RT state.
For example, when “pushing order bell” is won, it is set to be elected with a probability of 26/255 when staying at RT2, and elected with a probability of 85/255 when staying at RT3 (FIG. See (a)). That is, RT3 is easier to win the subtraction lottery than RT2.
In addition, the winning probability has a relationship of "bag 2">"weak cherry 2">"push order bell", and when winning by "strong cherry 2", "medium cherry" and "chance eye 2" Is set to win with a probability of 100%.

In addition, when the CZRB is won during the interval ART, a subtraction lottery is performed also in the shifted CZRB.
For example, in the case of winning the role of "CZRB (common bell)", when staying in RT2, it wins with a probability of 204/255, and when staying in RT3, it wins with a probability of 255/255 (Refer FIG.16 (b)). In addition, in CZRB, RT3 is easier to win a subtraction lottery than RT2 is.
Further, as shown in FIG. 16, although the subtraction lottery is performed also except RT2 and RT3, the subtraction lottery is performed with the same probability as RT2. The present invention is not limited to this, and the subtraction lottery may be performed with different probabilities for each RT state.

  When the CZRB is won during the interval ART, the subtraction of the number ART games of the interval ART is interrupted until the end of the CZRB from the game following the CZRB winning game. In addition, when a bonus other than CZRB is won, the interval ART of six games is started again after the winning bonus ends, and when a bonus other than CZRB is won, a subtraction lottery is performed. The number of executions will increase.

When the subtraction lottery is won during the interval ART, as shown in FIG. 23, a subtraction lottery winning image 83 indicating that the subtraction lottery is won is displayed on the lower right of the screen as shown in FIG. The number 84 (× N) is displayed.
In addition, "N" indicating the number of wins is up to "7". That is, the number of wins which can be won in the subtraction lottery during the interval ART is set up to seven at the maximum, which is the same as the maximum lottery number of ART continuation lottery executed in the challenge ART described later. It is designed not to be added more than once.
As described above, it is possible to subtract from the number of continued drawing of the ART continuation lottery executed in the challenge ART by the number of times of winning the subtraction lottery in the interval ART.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23 and the like, the display 8 displays information on the ART being executed.
For example, the number of acquired medals 81 indicating the total number of medals acquired in the ART, and the number of remaining games 82 indicating the number of remaining ART games are displayed. The present invention is not limited to this, and the total number of games indicating the total number of continuing games in the ART, or the number of sets indicating the number of consecutive (continuous) times of one set of ART games may be displayed.
In addition, the effect image 85 displayed on the display 8 during the interval ART is an image displayed when transitioning from the normal stage to the ART (hereinafter also referred to as first hit) and transition from the challenge ART to the interval ART That is, an image different from the image displayed when continuous (consecutive) is displayed. Therefore, it is possible for the player to judge whether the ART has been continuous (continuous) only by visually recognizing the effect image 85 in the interval ART.

<Main ART>
The main ART moves from the interval ART (arrow b1 in FIG. 11) and basically stays at RT2,3.
The main ART is a game state that continues for at least 30 games, and transitions to the challenge ART after 30 games (arrow b2 in FIG. 11), or transitions to the finalized ART with fewer than 30 games (Arrow b5 in FIG. 11).

Further, in the main ART, as in the case of the interval ART, a subtraction lottery is performed to reduce the number of continuation lottery of the ART continuation lottery executed in the challenge ART.
For example, in the case of winning the “push order bell”, when staying at RT2, it is elected with a probability of 10.2%, and when staying at RT3, it is configured to be elected with a probability of 50.2% ( See FIG. 17 (a)). That is, RT3 is easier to win the subtraction lottery than RT2. In addition, it is set to be elected with a probability of 100% when winning "bag 2", "weak cherry 2", "strong cherry 2", "medium cherry", and "chance 2".
In the case of winning CZRB in the main ART and winning the role of CZRB (common bell) in the shifted CZRB, when staying at RT2, when winning at an 80% probability and staying at RT3, It is set to win with a probability of 100% (see FIG. 17B). That is, even in CZRB, RT3 is easier to win the subtraction lottery than RT2 is.

As described above, in the interval ART and the subtraction lottery in the main ART, the player can expect to stay at RT3 rather than RT2 since RT3 is easier to win than RT2.
Therefore, push-through navigation of RT3 transition replay is a notification with the possibility of transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player (RT3), and push-through navigation of replay occurring during ART is merely navigation of a digest game Instead, you can feel the player's expectations.
Further, as described above, RT3 is an RT state in which RT3 can stay only for a period having the number of RT3 guaranteed games, and in the main ART, even if RT3 transition replay is won, RT3 transition with probability of 66/255 Replay is notified of a pressing order in which winning is possible (RT transition in Replay 3 does not notify in 189/255 of a pressing order in which winning is possible).
Therefore, the stay of RT3 is scarce compared to other RT states (RT2), and the player's expectation can be felt.
In the main ART, another winning probability may be used as the winning probability (66/255) of notifying the pressing order in which the RT3 transition replay can be won.

If the subtraction lottery is won during the main ART, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect image 87 indicating that the subtraction lottery has been won is displayed on the display 8 (for example, the liquid crystal symbols are aligned for the number of times won). In addition to the image effect), a winning lottery image 86a indicating that the winning lottery has been won is displayed in a subtraction lottery result display region 86 divided into seven regions.
In seven areas of the subtraction lottery result display area 86, a winning image 86a is displayed in one area each time one subtraction lottery is won. Thus, the player can clearly recognize the number of times the player has won the subtraction lottery.
Further, the display in the subtraction lottery result display area 86 is configured to reflect the sum of winning for the subtraction lottery during the interval ART and the winning for the subtraction lottery during the main ART.

In the main ART, when all the winning images 86a are displayed in all seven areas of the subtraction lottery result display area 86, that is, when winning in the subtraction lottery seven times, the process shifts to "confirmed ART" described later (FIG. 11) Arrow b5) inside. In this case, the main ART ends with the number of games less than 30 games.
On the other hand, when the winning game 86 is not displayed in all seven areas of the subtraction lottery result display area 86 when 30 games are over, that is, when the subtraction lottery is not won seven times, the challenge ART It moves (arrow b2 in FIG. 11).
Also, when the 30 games are over, the main ART is shifted to the challenge ART even when there are no winnings in the subtraction lottery seven times and there is an ART stock. That is, in the main ART, the ART stock is not consumed, but consumed in the challenge ART and the ART continues. The present invention is not limited to this, and the ART may be transitioned to the interval ART by consuming the ART stock in the main ART and the ART may be continued.

<Challenge ART>
The challenge ART shifts from the main ART (arrow b2 in FIG. 11) and basically stays at RT2,3.
In the challenge ART, a title display of one game, an ART continuation lottery of a maximum of seven games (the number of continuous lottery), and a continuation lottery result display of one game are performed.
As described above, the ART continuation lottery executed every game during the maximum seven games is such that the number of games fluctuates according to the number of winning of the subtraction lottery in the interval ART and the main ART.
For example, if the number of wins of the subtraction lottery is "0 times", ART continuation lottery of 7 games is performed, and if it is "3 times", ART continuation lottery of 4 games is performed. In the case of "6 times", the ART continuation lottery is performed only for one game.
In addition, when the lottery result is not won in the ART continuation lottery, the challenge ART is ended at that time.
Therefore, when the number of wins of the subtraction lottery is “0 times”, it is necessary to win all seven ART continuation lotterys in order for the ART to continue.
On the other hand, in the case where the number of wins of the subtraction lottery is “6 times”, it is sufficient to win the ART continuation lottery only once in order for the ART to continue.

Also, the ART continuation lottery is to be executed regardless of the presence or absence of ART stock.
For example, in the case where there is ART stock, if “continuation” is determined in the ART continuation lottery, ART stock is not consumed, and transition is made to interval ART, and ART continues.
On the other hand, when there is ART stock, if the lottery result of ART continuation lottery is not won, transition to interval ART by consuming one ART stock, and ART continues.
The present invention is not limited to this, and the ART may always be continued by determining the winning probability of the ART continuation lottery to “100% (maximum ART level)” by consuming one ART stock.

During the challenge ART, as shown in FIG. 25, in the continuous lottery result display area 88 divided into seven areas in the display 8, a winning image 86a indicating that the continuous lottery is won is displayed.
The winning image 86a displayed in the continuation lottery result display area 88 reflects the result of the subtraction lottery in the main ART before the transition and the result of the ART continuation lottery in the challenge ART.
For example, in the case of winning the subtraction lottery three times in the main ART before transition, when transitioning to the challenge ART, three winning images 86a are displayed. Then, the ART continuation lottery of four games is performed, and the winning image 86a is displayed in the continuous lottery result display area 88 each time the player wins the lottery of each game.

In addition, at the time of entering the challenge ART, the winning probability in the ART continuation lottery is determined.
Specifically, the ART level is determined, and the winning probability of the ART continuation lottery is determined based on the value of the ART level.
The ART level is set in four stages (level 1 to level 4). The larger the ART level value, the higher the probability of winning the ART continuation lottery.
This ART level is determined at the time of the interval ART entry at the first hit. For example, "1" of ART level is determined with a probability of 195/255, "2" of ART level is determined with a probability of 30/255, and "3" of ART level is determined with a probability of 20/255, The ART level "4" is to be determined with a probability of 10/255 (see FIG. 18).
Note that the value of the ART level does not decrease (level down) during the ART, and does not change until the end of the ART. However, the value is not limited to this and may change.

Based on the determined ART level, the winning probability of the ART continuation lottery is determined.
For example, when the ART level is “1”, 80% is determined with a probability of 195/255, 85.1% is determined with a probability of 30/255, and 90.2% is determined with a probability of 20/255. 98% is determined with a probability of 10/255.
Also, if ART level is “2”, 85.1% is determined with probability 225/255, and if ART level is “3”, 90.2% is determined with probability 242/255, ART level Is “4”, 98% is determined with a probability of 255/255 (see FIG. 19).
As described above, since one ART continuation lottery wins with a probability of at least 80%, even if the number of wins of the subtraction lottery in the interval ART and the main ART is "0 times", the ART runs continuously (continuation) The probability of doing is at least about 21% (80% × 7 times (0.8 to the 7th power)), and if the number of wins of the subtraction lottery is “6 times”, the probability that ART will be continuous (continuous) is Because it is at least 80% (80% x 1 (0.8 to the first power)), it is possible to maintain the sense of expectation of the villa.

As described above, in the challenge ART, the continuation rate of the ART can be increased by reducing the number of times of drawing the ART continuation lottery in the challenge ART according to the number of wins of the subtraction drawing executed in the interval ART and the main ART. In addition, the interval ART, the main ART, and the challenge ART have game characteristics having a close relationship with each other. Details of this feature will be described later.

Further, in the challenge ART, apart from the above-described ART continuation lottery, the ART continuation determination lottery is performed based on a predetermined winning probability according to the winning combination, triggered by having won the rare combination.
For example, in the case of winning "weak cherry 2", it is set to win the transition lottery with a probability of 5.00%, and the winning probability is "medium cherry">"strong cherry 2">"chanceeye" 2 ">" bag 2 ">" weak cherry 2 "(see FIG. 20).
As described above, by performing the ART continuous lottery with the winning of the role of Rea, there is no so-called "retraction of the role of Rea" in the challenge ART, and it is possible to enhance the interest in the challenge ART it can.

Further, when a bonus is won in the interval ART, the main ART and the challenge ART, the continuation of the ART is determined (arrow H in FIG. 10, 11).
Then, when a bonus other than CZRB is won, it starts from interval ART after the bonus ends, while when CZRB is won, a subtraction lottery is executed during CZRB, and after CZRB is completed, interval ART is started. Start.

<Confirmed ART>
The confirmed ART shifts from the main ART (arrow b5 in FIG. 11) and basically stays at RT2,3.
The rush to the finalized ART is transitioned to when the main ART has won seven subtraction lotterys, that is, when one set of ART game series has been finalized.
In the decision ART, a transition lottery to the battle ART is performed, and if the transition lottery is won, the transition to the battle ART (arrow b6 in FIG. 11), and if the transition lottery is not won, the decision is made The ART is ended, and transition is made to the interval ART (arrow b11 in FIG. 11).
The number of games at the time of entry into the finalized ART is such that the number of remaining main ART games at the time of transition is taken over. Therefore, the number of remaining games increases as the winning of the subtraction lottery seven times in the main ART increases, and the user will stay in the finalized ART for a long period, so the number of transition lottery to the battle ART also increases, which is advantageous .

The transition lottery to the battle ART is performed every game in accordance with the winning combination won in the internal lottery processing and the current RT state.
For example, when “weak cherry 2” is elected, when staying at RT2, it is elected with a probability of 13/255, and when staying at RT3, it is set with an probability of 85/255 (FIG. 21) reference). That is, RT3 is easier to win the subtraction lottery than RT2.
In addition, the winning probability has a relationship of "bag 2">"weak cherry 2", and 100% probability when winning "strong cherry 2", "medium cherry" and "chance eye 2". It is set to win at.
It should be noted that if the win for seven subtraction lotterys in the interval ART and one set of ART game series has already been decided before the main ART starts, the display on the display 8 of the display 8 is the main ART screen Is displayed, but as the internal lottery process, the same lottery process as the finalized ART (the transitional lottery to the battle ART) is performed.

<Battle ART>
The battle ART shifts from the fixed ART (arrow b6 in FIG. 11), and basically stays at RT2 and RT3.
The battle ART is a gaming state in which 15 games are executed as one set, and 3 sets (45 games) of games are guaranteed, and the fourth set starting game (46th game) after 3 sets are finished A continuation lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue the battle ART.
During the battle ART, a direction in which the main character and the enemy character are confronted (battle) is performed. If the main character wins, the battle ART continues, and if the enemy character wins, the battle ART ceases.
The winning probability (continuation probability) of the continuation lottery in the battle ART is determined at the time of entering the battle ART, for example, 50.2% is determined with the probability of 223/255, and 90.2% with the probability of 32/255. It is supposed to decide. That is, the battle ART is to be continued (continuously) with a probability of at least about 50%.
Then, when winning the continuous lottery in the battle ART, the game of the battle ART is started again with 15 games set as one set. On the other hand, even in the case of non-winning continuous lottery, in the battle ART, the battle ART may be continued by winning the following lottery.

In the battle ART, a lottery (hereinafter referred to as a rewriting lottery) which can be changed to "continuing" is performed even if the player is not elected in the continuing lottery and is in the "discontinuing" state.
More specifically, even if it is determined that "non-continuation" is determined in the continuation lottery to be executed in the start game of the fourth set, the rare role is played between the first game and the fifteenth game of the fourth set. If it is possible to win a predetermined lottery which is triggered by the win, the "continuation" is changed to "continue", and the battle ART continues.
For example, when "bag 2" is won, it is elected with a probability of 85/255, and when it is won with "weak cherry 2", it is set to be won with a probability of 64/255 (Fig. 22). In addition, when "strong cherry 2", "medium cherry", and "chance second" are won, it is set to be elected with a probability of 100%.
Therefore, even if the player does not win the continuous lottery, the player can enjoy the game without losing feeling of expectation, excitement and interest until the last game.
On the other hand, if it is determined to be "non-continuation" in the continuation lottery of the battle ART, and furthermore, it is not won even in the rewriting lottery, the fifteenth game is ended and then transition is made to the interval ART (arrow b12 in FIG. 11).

Further, in the battle ART, regardless of whether or not the battle ART is continued by the continuous lottery or the rewriting lottery described above, the predetermined lottery according to the winning combination in the internal lottery process is performed for each game.
Specifically, similarly to the above-mentioned execution opportunity of the rewriting lottery, a predetermined lottery is performed triggered by the winning of the rare role, and "points" are given when the lottery is won.
This point is set, for example, from 1 to 7, and when the total number of acquired points reaches "7", ART stock is provided.
The number of points awarded at one time is determined by lottery, and for example, one of “4”, “5” and “6” is selected with a probability of 1/3. .
In addition, points can also be acquired in other gaming states, for example, can also be acquired in the specialization bonus and ending ART which will be described later, and the acquired points are added and become “0” when it becomes “7” or more. It is supposed to go back.
In addition, since ART stock is memorize | stored only for what was provided, the main ART will loop, so that the point is provided by battle ART.

In addition, when the battle ART ends and moves to the interval ART, the point is treated as a subtraction number for reducing the number of continuous drawing of the ART continuation drawing in the subsequent challenge ART.
That is, if the number of points held at the end of the battle ART is “3”, continuation of the ART will be determined if the “4 times” subtraction lottery is won in the interval ART or the main ART. Alternatively, if all of the “4 times” ART continuation lottery are won in the challenge ART, the continuation of the ART will be determined.

In addition, in the battle ART, when “the continuation of the battle ART is determined in the 19th set of the battle ART (when the battle ART is determined to be 20 consecutive houses)”, the transition to the “ending ART” is made (FIG. 11 Arrow b7).
Further, in the battle ART, when “a winning probability to be executed at the continuous lottery during the battle ART is won by a lottery with 1/255”, the transition to the “limiter ART” is decided.

<Ending ART>
The ending ART shifts from the battle ART when the above condition is established in the battle ART (arrow b7 in FIG. 11), and basically stays at RT2 and RT3.
Similarly to the battle ART, the ending ART basically continues for 15 games, and when the game of the 15 games is finished, it shifts to the interval ART (arrow b8 in FIG. 11).
If the transition to the ending ART is made as the continuation of the battle ART is determined in the 19th set of the battle ART, it is controlled as the battle ART of the 20th set.
In addition, in the ending ART, as in the battle ART, a point winning lottery is performed.

When shifting to the ending ART, it is determined that the ART continues until reaching the upper limit number of games played (1500 games) in the advantageous section.
And, even if it is determined that the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is controlled by ART until reaching the upper limit game frequency of the advantageous section, the period until the upper limit game frequency reaches is executed during the normal ART. By executing various lottery processes and the like, the same control as in the normal ART is performed.
Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from having the impression that the ART game from the ending ART transition to the upper limit game number in the advantageous section has an impression of the digested game, and the characteristic that it is possible to prevent the deterioration of interest concerning ART Have.
The details of this feature will be described later.
Also, as a benefit when transitioning to the ending ART, instead of the ART continuing until the upper limit game number of the advantageous segment (1500 games) is reached, for example, the ART level may be determined to "4". Good. As a result, since the winning probability of the ART continuation lottery in the challenge ART is determined to be "98%", the gaming state in which the probability that the ART continues is extremely high is obtained.

<Specialized bonus>
The specialization bonus shifts when the combination of symbols corresponding to CZRB is stopped and displayed during the stay in the battle ART (arrow b9 in FIG. 11), and a bonus ending in 8 wins or 12 games (CZRB It is one form of.
In the specialization bonus, an ART stock winning lottery is performed based on the winning probability of 85/255 every game. That is, in the special bonus, a lottery for winning an ART stock is performed while executing a bonus game.
Further, in the specialization bonus, as in the battle ART, a lottery for winning points is made, and points are given with a probability of 100% when the common bell is won.
Further, after the specialization bonus ends, the battle ART before the specialization bonus transition is restored (arrow b10 in FIG. 11).

<Draw back ART>
The pullback ART moves from the challenge ART (arrow b4 in FIG. 11) and basically stays at RT2,3.
Retraction ART is a gaming state that stays before transitioning to the general stage after the end of ART if it is determined to be "discontinuity" in the continuation lottery in the Challenge ART, and a game that can be returned to ART (retraction) again. Have sex.
Therefore, in the pullback ART, the push order for shifting to the special stage described above is notified.
Specifically, when the push replay and the push bell are notified, and the RT1 shift replay or the RT2 shift replay is won, the push order to be avoided is informed and the RT4 shift replay is won, Informs the pushing order for shifting to RT4 (special stage).
As described above, in the pullback ART, the push order for winning in the RT4 transition replay that is not notified in other gaming states is notified, and the feature that enables the transition to the special stage with high possibility of being able to return to the ART have.
The details of this feature will be described later.

In the pullback ART, the number of games notifying the push order (hereinafter, referred to as the pullback guarantee game number) varies depending on the game in the ART before transitioning to the pullback ART.
Specifically, the pull-back guaranteed game number is a numerical value obtained by adding “minimum guaranteed game number (for example, 2 games)” for which notification of push order is guaranteed and “additional game number”.
The number of games to be added is the number of games counted +1 by winning the lottery having a winning probability of 1/100, which is executed when the player is elected as a rare during the ART before shifting to the pullback ART. .
That is, the longer the stay in ART before transitioning to pullback ART, the more the number of added games can be acquired, and as a result, the number of pullback guarantee games increases, and as a result, transition to a special stage in pullback ART The possibility is also high.
In addition, the number of withdrawal guarantee games starts subtraction after entry into the withdrawal ART, and when it reaches “0”, the push order for avoiding the winning of RT1 transition replay and RT2 transition replay, or RT4 transition replay Since the push order for winning is not notified, the possibility of falling from RT3 is high.
Then, when winning in the RT1 transition replay or when the “bell spill” is stopped, the stage is shifted to the general stage (RT1) (arrow G-4 in FIGS. 8 and 11).

<Limiter ART>
The limiter ART basically stays in the RT2 and is a gaming state in which a game is executed in a state where a game up to 1500 games, which is the upper limit game number of the advantageous section, is decided.
Specifically, when the number of games in the advantageous section reaches 1400 games while staying in the advantageous section, the limiter ART is entered at the end of the game, and the limiter ART from the 1401 game in the advantageous section The game as is executed (see FIG. 11). The number of games after transition to the limiter ART is 100 times before reaching 1500 games in the advantageous section.
At the end of the limiter ART (that is, at the end of the 1500 games in the advantageous section), the process shifts to the general stage (arrow G-2 in FIGS. 8 and 11). That is, by shifting from the advantageous section to the normal section, the number of games in the advantageous section is erased (reset). Also, the ART stock acquired and the number of ART games are erased (reset).
Although it has been described that the game of the 1401 game is shifted to the limiter ART when the number of games in the advantageous section reaches the 1400 game, the present invention is not limited to this, and may shift to the limiter ART according to the current game state. You may For example, in the case where a predetermined continuous effect is being performed in the ART, one set is ended after waiting for the end of the effect, or in the middle of a set in the battle ART. After waiting for that, it may be made to shift to the limiter ART.

Up to this point, the configuration of the slot machine 1 and each gaming state have been described. However, the slot machine 1 having the above configuration and gaming state has the following features.
(1) Increasing the degree of expectation of return to ART (pull back) (pull back control processing)
(2) Making the setting difference bonus difficult to distinguish between the setting difference no bonus (bonus effect control process)
(3) Reduce the number of times of ART continuation lottery and increase the ART continuation rate (ART continuation control process)
(4) Making it difficult to recognize that arrival at the limiter of the advantageous section is determined (control process before reaching the limiter)
These features will be described in order below.

(1) Increasing the degree of expectation of return to ART (pull back) (pull back control processing)
As described above, the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment includes the “pull back ART” and the “special stage” that can stay before shifting to the general stage after the end of ART, and by providing these gaming states, It has the following characteristic gameplay.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the “pull back control process” performed by the main control unit 10.
The “pull back control process” is a process executed after the challenge ART is completed.
First, the main control unit 10 determines whether the RT state at the end of the challenge ART is RT4 (S1).
If it is determined that the RT state is not RT4 (S1: No), control is made to shift to the pullback ART (S2, b4 in FIG. 27).
During the pullback ART, a period in which the number of pullback guaranteed games is present (for example, the minimum number of guaranteed games (2 games) + 12 games obtained by adding the number of added games (10 games)) has a push order for shifting to RT4. Inform.
Then, it is judged whether or not the number of games for pulling back guarantee has been digested (S3), and when it is judged that the number of games for pulling back is digested (S3: Yes), control is made to shift to the general stage from the pulling back ART (S4, FIG. G-4 in 27). In this case, it is possible not to shift from the pullback ART to the general stage until the RT state shifts to RT1.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of games for withdrawal pulling back has not been consumed (S3: No), it is determined whether the current RT state is RT4 (S5).
If it is determined that the RT state is not RT4 (S5: No), then the game of the pullback ART is executed, and if it is determined that the RT state is RT4 (S5: Yes), from the pullback ART Control is made to shift to the special stage (S6, G-1 in FIG. 27).
Also, if it is determined in S1 that the RT state is RT4 at the end of the challenge ART and the number of RT4 games remains (S1: Yes), transition to the special stage without going through the pullback ART is made. It controls (S6, G-3 in FIG. 27). This is, for example, a case where it happens to be awarded “RT4 transition replay” during the challenge ART, and if it is in the state of RT4 at the end of the challenge ART, the stage is shifted to the special stage.

Next, in the special stage, it is determined whether or not an advantageous section has been won (S7).
In the special stage, when staying in the normal section without winning in the advantageous section (S7: No), it is determined whether the number of games of the special stage (for example, 30 games) has been consumed (S9).
If it is determined that the game number of the special stage has been consumed (S9: Yes), control is made to shift from the special stage (RT4) to the general stage (RT1) (S10, a2 in FIG. 27).
On the other hand, when it is determined that the advantageous section has been won in the special stage (S7: Yes), ART stock is provided. Specifically, in the special stage (RT4), winning the set difference no rare role or CZRB, and grants ART stock in the first game transition from the normal section to the advantageous section.
Then, when the number of remaining games in the special stage is consumed, control is performed to shift from the special stage (RT4) to the general stage (RT1). Further, control is made to shift from the general stage (RT1) to the interval ART (RT2) when the combination of symbols corresponding to the RT2 transition replay is stopped in the general stage (RT1) (S8, F in FIG. 27) ).

As described above, when winning the setting difference free rare role in the special stage, the RT state transitions from RT4 to RT1 to RT2 after the number of remaining games on the special stage is consumed, and the transition to the interval ART is made. It is supposed to be.
In this case, after winning the setting difference free rare combination, the screen corresponding to the interval ART is displayed and "ART in preparation" is displayed, and the interval ART is not started until transition to the interval ART.
In addition, when the CZRB is won on the special stage, if the number of remaining games on the special stage is larger than the maximum number of CZRB games (12 games), the same as in the case of winning the setting difference no rare role, After the CZRB ends, the RT state shifts to RT4 → RT1 → RT2 to shift to the interval ART.
On the other hand, if the number of remaining games on the special stage is smaller than the maximum number of CZRB games (12 games), the RT state transitions from RT4 to RT1 during CZRB, and after CZRB ends, RT1 to RT2 transitions. By doing this, the transition to the interval ART is made.
In this case, after winning the CZRB, the screen corresponding to the interval ART is displayed and "in preparation for ART" is displayed, and the interval ART is not started until transition to the interval ART.

  As described above, in the special stage, when the player wins the setup difference no rare role or the CZRB, the ART stock is always given, so even after the end of ART, it is possible to return to ART with a relatively fast number of games. Can. Therefore, the special stage is an advantageous gaming state, which is also easier to shift to ART than the general stage of the normal stage.

Also, by performing such control, the following game characteristics are provided.
When transitioning from ART to special stage and entering ART again, there is a high possibility that a medal can be acquired beyond the upper limit of the medal acquisition expectation value in the advantageous section.
That is, as shown in FIG. 28, when the number of games played in the advantageous section at the end of the challenge ART is, for example, 1350 games, it is won in the RT4 transition replay in the pullback ART and shifts to RT4 (special stage). If the number of games (for example, 1360 games) immediately before reaching the upper limit number of games (1500 games) of the advantageous section is erased, and then, the advantageous section is rushed to the interval ART by winning the advantageous section in the special stage, the advantageous section The number of games played is counted from "1".
This makes it possible to make it look as if ART has been resumed and has been connected despite the fact that ART has ended and shifted to a normal section, and the number of games in the advantageous section is counted from "1". Since the upper limit game number of the advantageous section is 1500 games, it can appear as if playing in the advantageous section over the upper limit game number, so the upper limit of the medal acquisition expectation value in the advantageous section There is a high possibility of winning medals beyond.

In this way, when ART (challenge ART) ends, the transition to ART with a predetermined number of games continues, and during stay in ART, the push order assists the transition to the special stage whose RT state is RT4. Is to be notified.
Specifically, when “RT1 transition Replay”, “RT2 transition Replay” and “Bell spilled eyes” are elected as winning combinations that can be stopped and displayed, the pressing order is notified so that these are not stopped and displayed. When “RT4 transition replay” is won by the winning combination that can be stopped and displayed, the pressing order is notified so that the RT4 replay is stopped and displayed.
Therefore, the probability of transition to a special stage (RT4) higher than during a general stage stay is increased, and transition to a special stage (RT4) can be expected to return to ART. Interest can be improved.

(2) Making the setting difference bonus difficult to distinguish between the setting difference no bonus (bonus effect control process)
As described above, the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment has a setting difference bonus that does not perform drawing for ART during bonus and a setting difference no bonus for performing drawing for ART during bonus, and performs drawing for ART. It has a distinctive game characteristic that makes it possible to make a setting difference bonus that can not be made appear as a setting difference no bonus where it is possible to make a lottery of ART.

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the “bonus effect control process during non-ART” performed by the main control unit 10.
“Non-ART bonus effect control process” is a process executed when a bonus is won during non-ART.
The following description will be made assuming that the big bonus (BB1) is won.
First, the main control unit 10 determines whether the bonus is the set difference bonus (S11).
If it is determined that the bonus is not the setting difference bonus (S11: No), that is, if the bonus setting difference is not, it is determined whether or not the "sand replay" is won (S12).
If it is determined that "Sand Replay" has been won (S12: Yes), for example, as shown in FIG. 31 (a) at the timing when the start lever 3 is operated, "Aim for ○○○ to the middle reel! There may be a case where a specific effect (specific output navi) for prompting the middle reel 41b to stop the specific output is performed, such as "" (S13).

In this case, when it is determined that the specified reel has stopped on the middle reel 41b at the time of the first reel stop operation according to the specified reel navigation, the player is given an advantageous benefit.
Specifically, in the case of the first stop of the specified number during one bonus, “right to shift to CZ2” is given (J in FIG. 9, 10) and the specified number is stopped. Is the second time, “up to 3 ART stocks per one win” is granted (I-1 in Figure 10), and each time the specific outcome stops, up to 3 more ART stocks are granted Be done.
In addition, even if the specific reel does not stop on the middle reel 41 b (even if the eye contact fails), a privilege is given. That is, a benefit is given when the execution of the specific result eye navigation is determined.

Also, the execution of the specified number of appearances navigation in S13 is executed when the probability of 49/50 is won even when the player is elected to “sand replay”, while the probability of 1/50 is won. In the case where the first reel stop operation is performed, "left push navigation" is performed to urge the left reel 41a to be stopped at the time of the first reel stop operation.
And when it is elected to the probability of 1/50, although the specific turn navi is not informed and the left push navi is informed, the benefit (up to 3 ART stock per right to shift to CZ2 and 1 win) ) Is to be granted. Thus, by providing the "invisible privilege" in the privilege given to the player, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

If it is determined in S12 that the "sand replay" has not been won (S12: No), it is determined whether the "fake sand replay" has been won (S14).
If it is determined that the "fake sand replay" has not been won (S14: No), the process ends, and if it is determined that the "fake sand replay" has been won (S14: Yes), FIG. As shown in a), "specifically appearing navi" or "left pushing navi" prompting the user to stop the left reel 41a at the time of the first reel stop operation is displayed as shown in FIG. 31 (b) (S15) .
For example, “specified outcome navi” is selected with a probability of 204/255, and “left push navi” is selected with a probability of 51/255 (see FIG. 32A).
In this case, even when the “specified outcome navi” is selected, the specific outcome is not displayed stopped on the middle reel 41b. The "Gase eyes", which is a combination of symbols corresponding to fake sand replays different from the so-called specified eyes, is stopped and displayed.

When it is determined in S11 that the bonus is a setting difference bonus (S11: Yes), it is determined whether or not the "sand replay" is won (S16).
If it is determined that the "sand replay" has been won (S16: Yes), the "left push navigation" shown in FIG. 31 (b) is displayed (S17).
In this way, in spite of having won the "Sand Replay", the notification of "Left push navi" is that the setting difference bonus divided into the regular section can not make the transition lottery to ART. From the above, in order to avoid the stop display of the specific result on the middle reel 41b, "left push navigation" is notified.
As a result, when the player has won the sand replay during the setting difference bonus, the player does not recognize that the privilege is not given despite the fact that the specific reel is stopped and displayed on the middle reel 41b.

If it is determined in S16 that the "sand replay" has not been won (S16: No), it is determined whether the "fake sand replay" has been won (S18).
If it is determined that the "fake sand replay" has not been won (S18: No), the processing is ended, and if it is determined that the "fake sand replay" has been won (S18: Yes), FIG. The “specified outcome navi” shown in a) or the “left push navi” shown in FIG. 31 (b) is displayed (S19).
For example, “specified outcome navi” is won with a probability of 204/255, and “left push navi” is won with a probability of 51/255 (see FIG. 32A).
Also in this case, when the “specified outcome navi” is selected, “cased appearance”, which is a combination of symbols corresponding to fake sand replay, is stopped and displayed.

In this way, in the setting difference bonus and the setting difference no bonus, which bonus is won using the fake sand replay that can notify both "specified outcome navi" and "left push navi" It can be made difficult for the player to recognize.
For example, when a fake sand replay is won during a setting difference bonus, it is possible to make it appear as if a transition lottery of ART with no setting difference bonus is being performed by notifying "specified outcome navi".
On the other hand, if the player wins the fake sand replay during the setup difference no bonus, the "left press navigation" prevents the specific left eye in the setup difference bonus from being stopped by the "left press navigation". You can make it look like you are.
This makes it difficult to identify whether the bonus being executed for the player is the setting difference bonus or the setting difference bonus or not, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game even during the setting difference bonus where the lottery concerning ART is not performed. It has a feature.
In addition, in the setting difference bonus and the setting difference nothing bonus, when the common bell is won, “left push navigation” is always notified. As a result, it is possible not to make it stand out that the stop of the specific item is avoided by notifying "the left push navigation" during the setting difference bonus.

FIG. 30 is a flow chart showing “bonus effect control process in ART” performed by the main control unit 10.
The “bonus effect control process in ART” is a process executed when a bonus is won in ART.
The following description will be made assuming that the big bonus (BB1) is won.
The “bonus effect control process in ART” is the same as the “bonus effect control process in non-ART” described above except that it is partially different. Therefore, only the differences will be described in detail.

First, the main control unit 10 determines whether the bonus is the setting difference bonus (S21).
When it is determined that the setting difference bonus is set (S21: Yes), the same processing as S16 to S19 of the "non-ART bonus effect control processing" is executed (S26 to S29).
On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus is not the setting difference bonus (S21: No), that is, if the bonus setting difference is not, it is determined whether or not the "sand replay" is won (S22).

If it is determined that "Sand Replay" has not been won (S22: No), processing similar to S14 to S15 of "bonus effect control processing during non-ART" is executed (S24 to S25).
On the other hand, when it is determined that the "sand replay" is won (S22: Yes), the "specified outcome navi" shown in FIG. 31 (a) or the "left push navi" shown in FIG. 31 (b) It is executed (S23).
For example, the “specified outcome navi” is won with a probability of 85/255, and the “left push navi” is won with a probability of 170/255 (see FIG. 32B).
Then, in the case of winning the “specified outcome navi”, the player is given an advantageous benefit.
Specifically, regardless of the number of wins, 2 to 4 ART stocks are awarded per win and the ART level is increased by +1.
As described above, when "Sand Replay" is won with no setup difference bonus in ART, it is different from the case where "Sand Replay" is won with no setup difference bonus in non-ART, and "Specified Outcoming Navi" Lottery will be held. And, when winning the lottery of "specific output navi", benefits (2 to 4 ART stock per one winning) that are more advantageous than during non-ART are given.
Moreover, even if the player has won the "Sand Replay", the execution of the specified outcome navi in S23 is to be executed when the probability of 49/50 is won, and the probability of 1/50 is won. In order to stop the left reel 41 a at the time of the first reel stop operation, “left push navigation” is executed.
Then, when the probability of 1/50 is won, although the specified number navi is not notified and the left push navi is notified, the privilege (2 to 4 ART stocks) is given and the ART level is It is supposed to rise +1.

In addition, the ART level, which makes it easier for the Challenge ART to continue as the numerical value increases, is increased by +1 when winning the lottery for “Specified Outcoming Navi” instead of winning “Sand Replay”. It is possible to prevent the player from becoming too advantageous.
Although not shown, in the case of the super big bonus (BB2), the player wins the lottery for “specified outcome navi” with a probability of 128/255, and “left-handed navi” wins with a probability of 127/255 It is in a state where BB2 is more likely to be won as "specified outcome navi" than BB1.

As described above, also in the bonus in ART, it is difficult for the player to recognize whether the bonus selected is the bonus with the setting difference or the bonus without the setting difference as in the non-ART bonus. it can.
Furthermore, in the setting difference bonus during ART, since the advantageous state lamp 13 remains on, for example, it becomes difficult to distinguish whether the bonus transferred during ART is the setting difference bonus or the setting difference no bonus. ing.

(3) Reduce the number of times of ART continuation lottery and increase the ART continuation rate (ART continuation control process)
As described above, the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment is configured to execute one set of ART games in the interval ART, the main ART, and the challenge ART, and in the ART continuation lottery executed in the challenge ART Once “Continuation” is determined, one more set of ART games will be executed.
And the characteristic game characteristic which improves the continuation rate of ART by reducing the continuation lottery number of ART continuation lottery performed by challenge ART by the number of times won in subtraction lottery performed in interval ART and main ART Have.

FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing the “ART continuation control process” performed by the main control unit 10.
The “ART continuation control process” is, for example, a process executed when transitioning from the interval ART to the main ART.
First, the main control unit 10 determines whether the number of wins of the subtraction lottery performed during the interval ART is seven (S31).
If it is determined that the player has won the game seven times (S31: Yes), after the number of remaining games in the interval ART has been consumed, control is made to shift to the definite ART (S41).
In addition, when winning the subtraction lottery executed during the interval ART seven times, as shown in FIG. 34, “× 7” is displayed in the number of wins 84 on the display 8, and an effect indicating continuation of ART is shown. An image 85 is displayed.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the player has not won seven times (S31: No), a subtraction lottery is performed in the main ART (S32).

Next, it is determined whether or not the number of winning of the subtraction lottery has reached seven (S33).
The number of wins is a number obtained by adding the number of wins in the subtraction lottery in the interval ART and the number of wins in the subtraction lottery in the main ART, and when it is determined that the number of wins reaches seven S33: Yes), control is made to shift to a definite ART (S41).
In the main ART, when the number of wins of the subtraction lottery reaches seven times, as shown in FIG. 35, the winning image 86a is displayed on all seven areas of the subtraction lottery result display area 86 on the display 8. And an effect image 87 indicating the continuation of ART is displayed.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of wins has not reached 7 times (S33: No), it is determined whether the number of ART games (for example, 30 games) in the main ART has been consumed (S34). If it is determined that the number of ART games has been consumed (S34: Yes), control is made to shift from the main ART to the challenge ART (S35).

Next, in the challenge ART, an ART continuation lottery is performed (S36).
In the ART continuation lottery, as described above, the number of continuation lottery performed is different according to the number of winning of the subtraction lottery in the interval ART and the main ART, and the ART continuation lottery of the maximum number of seven consecutive lottery is performed.
It is determined whether or not the lottery result of the ART continuation lottery is not won (S37), and if it is determined not to be won (S37: Yes), the challenge ART is terminated and control is made to shift to ART (S38).
In addition, even if the lottery result of the ART continuation lottery is not winning, if there is ART stock, control is performed so that one ART stock is consumed and transition is made from the challenge ART to the interval ART.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the ART continuation lottery has been won (S37: No), the winning image 86a is displayed in one area of the continuation lottery result display area 88 in the display unit 8, and the continuation lottery number is digested. The ART continuation lottery is repeatedly executed (S39: No), and if the number of the continuing lottery is settled (S39: Yes), control is made to shift from the challenge ART to the interval ART (S40).
In this manner, when the number of consecutive lotterys has been taken, and the ART continuous lottery has not been won, as shown in FIG. 36, the winning image 86a is displayed in all seven regions of the continuous lottery result display region 88. And the continuation of ART is finalized.
For example, when entering into the challenge ART, as shown in FIG. 25, if the number of combined winnings of the subtraction lottery is three, as shown in FIG. The continuation of ART is finalized.

As described above, the continuity probability of ART can be improved by reducing the number of continuous drawing of ART continuous drawing executed by challenge ART by the number of wins of subtraction drawing performed in interval ART and main ART. . Furthermore, in one set of ART games, since the playability of the interval ART, the main ART and the challenge ART is related to control the ART, it is possible to improve the interest in the ART.
In addition, in one set of ART games, since the interval ART, the main ART, and the challenge ART are controlled to three different types of ART (playing state), the interest of the game can be enhanced.

(4) Making it difficult to recognize that arrival at the limiter of the advantageous section is determined (control process before reaching the limiter)
As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, even if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied during the advantageous section and the ART is controlled to the ART until the upper limit game frequency (limiter) of the advantageous section is reached. In the period until reaching the limiter, by performing various lottery processes etc. executed during normal ART, the characteristic is that the ART is controlled so as not to let the player know that it is the ART state until reaching the limiter. Good gameplay.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the “control process before reaching the limiter” performed by the main control unit 10.
First, the main control unit 10 determines whether or not the final condition for reaching the limiter is satisfied during the battle ART (S51).
If it is determined that the condition for reaching the limiter is not satisfied (S51: No), the processing ends, and if it is determined that the condition for reaching the limiter is satisfied (S51: Yes), the limiter reaches It is determined whether or not the condition of "If the continuation of Battle ART is determined in the 19th set of Battle ART (if Battle ART is determined to be 20 consecutive villas)" (S52), "Battle ART is 20 consecutive villas. If it is determined (S52: Yes, b7 in FIG. 38), control is made to shift from the battle ART to the ending ART after the 19th set of the battle ART is finished (S53).
In the ending ART, control is performed as a battle ART of the 20th series, and when the ending ART ends, control is performed to shift from the ending ART to the interval ART (S54, b8 in FIG. 38).
On the other hand, when the condition for reaching the limiter is not due to "if the battle ART has been determined for 20 consecutive nights" (S52: No), that is, a lottery having a winning probability of 1/255 executed at the continuation lottery in the battle ART. In the case of being won, it is controlled to shift from the battle ART to the interval ART after the end of the battle ART (S54).

After transitioning to interval ART, until the number of games in the advantageous section reaches 1400 games (S56: No), various lotterys (subtraction lottery, transitional lottery to ART lottery, ART level lottery, etc.) as during normal ART ) And further controls the ART game to continue (continue) so that the ART does not end before reaching the limiter of the advantageous section (S 55).
Therefore, when there is no ART stock in the challenge ART, control is always performed so that the ART continuation lottery is won so as not to be "discontinuing" in the ART continuation lottery. Alternatively, the main ART is controlled to be won seven times for the subtraction lottery.

  The main control unit 10 monitors whether or not the number of games in the advantageous section has reached 1400 games during the ART (S56), and determines that the number of games in the advantageous section has reached 1400 games (S56) S56: Yes), control is made to shift to the limiter ART (S57, see FIG. 38).

  As described above, even when the determination condition for reaching the upper limit game number (limiter) of the advantageous segment is established during the ART, by performing various lottery or the transition lottery of the gaming state, as before the limiter arrival determination of the advantageous segment. In order to control the player not to let the player know that the arrival of the limiter is definite, it is possible to prevent the player from having an impression of the digested game after the arrival of the limiter is confirmed, and to prevent the deterioration of interest in the ART. can do.

[Other embodiments]
The slot machine 1 of the present invention according to the embodiment described above can also be applied as another embodiment as described below.
The slot machine 1 according to the other embodiment has the same configuration as that of the above embodiment, but differs in the following points.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 39, the above embodiment and the other embodiment are different in the state transition diagram of the RT state, and in the other embodiment, RT2 is the RT2 of the above embodiment. And RT3.
That is, in the above-described embodiment, the RT3 has the game property of transitioning to a playing state to RT1 or RT2, which is relatively disadvantageous to the player, or to RT4, which is relatively advantageous to the player. However, in another embodiment, the difference is that RT2 has the game property of transitioning to a playing state of RT1 which is relatively disadvantageous to the player or RT4 which is relatively advantageous to the player. Do.

The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a state transition diagram shown in FIG. 39, and a plurality of RT states transitioning based on the entry trigger and the end trigger shown in FIG.
Since the configuration is the same as that of the above-described embodiment except for the above difference, only the difference will be described.
RT2 is a high replay probability, and for example, in the internal lottery process, it is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 1.5, and a game which is more advantageous to the player than RT0 and 1 in the win probability of the replay role. It is a state.
Specifically, rushing to RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "RT2 transition replay" in RT1, and thereafter, it shifts from RT1 to RT2.
Further, the termination of RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT3 transition replay (promotion replay)” in RT2, and thereafter, the transition from RT2 to RT4 is made.
Further, the termination of RT2 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to "RT1 transition replay" in RT2, and thereafter, it shifts from RT2 to RT1.
Further, the termination of RT2 occurs when a "push bell" drop occurs in RT2 and the "bell spilled eyes" stop, and thereafter, the flow shifts from RT2 to RT1.
Further, the end of RT2 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT2, and thereafter, it shifts from RT2 to RT5.
As described above, RT2 is not a limited game state in which the game period is determined in advance, and the combination of symbols corresponding to RT transition replay is stopped, unless the "bell spilled eyes" is stopped or the bonus is not won. It is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to other gaming states.

RT4 is a high replay probability, and is set to win the replay role with a probability of 1 / 1.5, for example, in the internal lottery process, and is more advantageous for the player than RT0 or 1 in the win probability of the replay role. .
The rush to RT4 is triggered by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT3 transition replay” in RT2, and thereafter, it shifts from RT2 to RT4.
Further, the end of RT4 is triggered by the point in time when 30 games have been played, and thereafter, it shifts from RT4 to RT1.
Further, the end of RT4 is triggered by the winning of a bonus combination other than CZRB in the internal lottery process performed in RT4, and thereafter, it shifts from RT4 to RT5.
As described above, the RT 4 is in a limited game state (finite RT) which is ended by execution of a game a predetermined number of times (30 games).

In this embodiment, since it has such an RT state, unlike the above-mentioned embodiment, unlike the gaming nature of transitioning to RT4 during RT3 stay shorter than RT2, RT4 during RT2 stay. In order to shift to the game, it is easy to shift to RT4. For this reason, since it becomes easy to shift to RT4 (special stage) after ART (challenge ART) completion, it becomes easy to pull back ART.
Note that “the number of guaranteed games” may be provided in RT2 as in the case of RT3 according to the above-described embodiment, and “RT3 transition replay” that triggers transition to RT4 only during a period in which the number of guaranteed games is present. You may make it alert | report the pushing order which the combination of the symbol corresponding to stops.
Also in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment provided with such an RT state, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
According to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when ART (challenge ART) is ended, the state transitions to “pull back ART” that continues for a predetermined number of games, and the RT state is RT4 while staying in “pull back ART”. In order to announce the push order to navigate the transition to the "special stage", the expectation for transition to the "special stage", where the transition probability to the ART is higher than during the "general stage" stay, has increased. By shifting, since the return to ART can be expected immediately after the end of ART, the interest of the game can be enhanced.
On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine which consumes the lottery right acquired during the ART in the ART continuation lottery and performs the continuation lottery of the ART, but in this gaming machine, all the lotterys acquired Even if the right is consumed, if it is not won in the ART continuation lottery, the ART is ended, and the return to the ART can not be expected immediately after the end of the ART. was there.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the lottery concerning the ART is performed as well as the acquisition of the game medium during the bonus, the interest during the bonus can be enhanced.
Furthermore, by making it difficult to recognize whether the bonus being executed is a setting difference no bonus for performing a lottery for ART or a setting difference bonus for not performing a lottery for ART, a setting difference bonus without performing a lottery for ART is It can appear as if there is no setting difference bonus, and can give the player a sense of expectation regarding the transition to ART even during the setting difference bonus, and can enhance the interest of the game during the bonus.
On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a gaming machine that controls a player to a bonus gaming state in which a large number of gaming media can be acquired when a combination of symbols corresponding to a bonus combination is stopped and displayed. In the bonus of this gaming machine, only a predetermined number of gaming media can be acquired, so the interest of the game during the bonus can not be enhanced.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, one set of ART games is executed by the interval ART, the main ART, and the challenge ART, and three different types of ART are performed in one set of ART games. Since the game state is controlled, the interest of the game can be enhanced.
Furthermore, between ARTs, the continuance probability of ART is improved by reducing the number of continuous drawing of ART continuous drawing performed by challenge ART by the number of times won in subtraction drawing performed in interval ART and main ART. In order to control the ART by giving relevance to the gameplay, it is possible to improve the interest in the ART.
On the other hand, in Patent Document 3, a predetermined number of games is regarded as one set of ART, and in the one set of ART games, a lottery for acquiring the number of sets of ARTs in the next set is carried out. The game machine which controls to the next set ART after ART game end of is disclosed, but with ART of this game machine only one kind of same ART (playing state) is repeatedly executed, ART is monotonous As a result, there is a risk that the interest of the game will be reduced.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, even when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section and the control is performed by the ART until reaching the upper limit game number (limiter) of the advantageous section, the limiter reaches In order to control the ART so as not to let the player know that the ART state until reaching the limiter of the advantageous section is performed by executing various lottery processes etc. executed during the normal ART, It is possible to prevent the decline in the interest of the game.
On the other hand, Patent Document 4 discloses a gaming machine capable of acquiring the number of ART games in a large number of ARTs by establishing a predetermined condition in the ART. May continue in the long run.
In recent years, gaming machines have been proposed to limit the number of ART gaming times, and when the gaming characteristics of the gaming machines described in Patent Document 4 are applied to such gaming machines, there are many cases during ART. In the situation where the end of ART becomes definite may occur when the number of games is acquired, and in such a situation, if it is detected by the player that the end of ART becomes definite, ART There is a possibility that the remaining period in the game is felt as a digesting game, which may cause a decrease in interest.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player an interest, interest, excitement, and a sense of expectation not found in the game played in the conventional gaming machine. It becomes possible to realize new game characteristics.
Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or part of such a problem to be improved by the conventional game machine.

  In the invention according to the embodiment described above, the following case can be applied as a modified or applied embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a type of “bonus”, a big bonus, a super big bonus, and a regular bonus are provided, but any one of these may be used, or none of them may be provided. Further, when no bonus is provided, for example, another type of RT may be provided, the RT may be set as a pseudo bonus, and a function of a bonus may be provided to the pseudo bonus.
Further, RT4 is an RT (so-called "finite RT") in which the number of games is defined, and the number of games is defined (30 games), but may be other number of games. In addition, it is good also as RT (what is called "infinite RT") which does not prescribe | regulate the number of games.
Further, in the present embodiment, the RT state capable of transitioning to RT4 is one type of RT3, and in the other embodiments, the RT state capable of transitioning to RT4 is one type of RT2; You may provide.
Also, although RT0 to RT3 are all infinite RTs, some or all may be finite RTs.
Further, although the winning probability of the replay player is set according to the type of RT, the winning probability of the replay player is not limited to this numerical value. However, for RT2 to RT4, it is preferable that the probability of winning the replay role is higher than that of other RTs.

Further, in the present embodiment, the interval ART, the main ART and the challenge ART are regarded as one set of ART game, and when the ART continuation lottery is won, the set number addition type is made possible to increase the number of sets. In addition to the above, for example, the lottery for adding the number of games is performed triggered by the winning of the role of rare, and if the winning for the additional lottery is won, the number of remaining games of the main ART is increased to continue over 30 games. It is also good. Also, you may add both the number of remaining games in the main ART and the ART stock.
Further, the number of ART stock stocks to be granted or the number of ART games may be determined according to the game setting value or the ART level.
Further, although the subtraction lottery is performed in the interval ART and the main ART in the present embodiment, the subtraction lottery may be performed in another gaming state in the ART.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 32, a case where a benefit (ART stock) is not given during the setting difference bonus has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A bonus (ART stock) may be awarded for the setting difference bonus that has been won.
Further, in the present embodiment, the right to be given when the “specified outcome navi” is won in the bonus in the ART is ART stock, but the invention is not limited thereto. You may give it.
Moreover, the winning probability concerning each table (FIGS. 12-22) of this embodiment is not restricted to the value mentioned above, It can set and change arbitrarily.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 10 performs operations as various means such as game state control means, but the sub control unit 20 performs a part or all of it and the sub control unit 20 operates as various means You can also
Also, on the contrary, although the sub control unit 20 performs operations as various means such as effect execution means, the main control unit 10 performs part or all of it, and the main control unit 10 operates as various means. it can.

Further, although the present invention is applied to a slot machine, the present invention can be applied to other game machines such as a pachinko machine (e.g., ball slot machine).
Further, the present invention can be applied to a so-called enclosed type game machine which can execute a game using a pseudo game medium of data format without using actual game medium such as medals and game balls.
