  And in this embodiment, although 12 types of batting order bells and 12 types of batting order small part are set as a winning combination of a small winning combination in internal lottery table 1-internal lottery table 6, the winning probability of 12 types of batting order bells is The winning probability of each of the 12 types of batting order minors is also set to be the same, and the winning probability of each batting order bell is set to be higher than the winning probability of each batting order minor role. Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability does not change depending on the set value for the winning combination of the small winning combination.

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

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, the probability that each of the bonus winning modes is obtained by the internal lottery is the same, but the first big bonus (BB1) is won according to the set value. The probabilities are different. Particularly in the present embodiment, the first big bonus (BB), the second big bonus (BB2) and the single bonus (SB) are provided as the bonus, but as shown in FIG. 8, the second big bonus (BB2) is provided. Each of the single bonus (SB) and the single bonus (SB) has a fixed probability of winning in the internal lottery at any setting value (BB2: about 1/1024, SB: about 1/10), while the first big bonus (BB1) changes in the range of about 1/512 to about 1/256 according to the set value, and the lottery result in which the first big bonus (BB1) is won as the set value for setting 1 to setting 6 becomes higher Is more likely to be obtained by internal lottery.

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

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

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag capable of carrying over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until the winning and the winning state for the next and subsequent games are not carried over regardless of the winning A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) to be reset to the winning state is prepared. As the role to which the former carry-over possible flag is associated, there are the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2), single bonus (SB), small part, and replay correspond to the latter carry-over impossible flag It is attached. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the first big bonus (BB1) is carried over until the first big bonus (BB1) wins. Do the processing. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are successful, even in the game where the winning state of the lottery flag of the first big bonus (BB1) is carried over. The same is true when the second big bonus (BB2) is won, and once the second big bonus (BB2) is won, the winning state of the lottery flag of the second big bonus (BB2) is the second big bonus (BB2). Even in a game carried over until the player wins a prize and the winning state of the lottery flag of the second big bonus (BB2) is carried over, an internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is carried over, when the small winning combination or the replay is won, it is already won A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winnings consisting of the bonus lottery flag and the small winning combination selected in the internal lottery and the lottery flag for replay is set in the winning state.

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

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

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

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

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, white 7 symbols "white 7" and black 7 symbols "black 7" with respect to the outer peripheral surface of 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 which comprise the reel unit 310. , Red 7 symbol "red 7", special symbol A "SPA", special symbol B "SPB", bell symbol "BL", watermelon symbol "WM", cherry symbol "CH", replay symbol A "RPA", and replay The symbol B “RPB” is arranged, and the symbols present within four frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240 (when pressing of the stop button is detected) In the case of drawing in, symbols arranged at intervals of four frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position.

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

  Further, the reel control means 130 is a process of determining the stop position of the rotating reel with reference to the stop control table stored in the stop control data storage area 1911 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a (table Perform reference processing). In the stop control table, the correspondence between the pressing detection position and the actual stop position is set according to the set state of the lottery flag. In the stop control table, the correspondence relationship between the pressing detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the amount of rotation from the pressing detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  First, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priority is determined in the order of "Replay> Bonus" and "Small Part> Bonus", and the lottery flag for two or more types of roles is set to the winning state. Is a stop control table in which table data corresponding to the priority corresponding to each combination is set, and the symbols constituting the winning combination of the combination with high priority are the winning combination of the combination with low priority The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so as to be displayed on the effective line in preference to the symbols making up the.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the stop position of the reel in the case where a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations indicating the form of winning that can be displayed on the activated line. There are cases where the game is played and the case where the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on the small winning combination, and the sliding coma according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line. When the number is determined, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line is increased, and the number of sliding symbols is determined according to the number of medals paid out. When is determined, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the number of medals paid out based on the winning of the small combination corresponding to the symbols that can be displayed at the display position on the activated line is increased.

  Particularly, in the present embodiment, when any batting bell is won, the correct batting order is set for each batting bell, and the pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as the incorrect answering order, and the correct batting order is followed When the stop operation is performed, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the number of medals paid out based on the winning of the small combination corresponding to the symbols that can be displayed on the display position on the activated line increases. When the stop operation is performed along the incorrect hitting order, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning forms that can be displayed on the activated line increases. Also, when one of the batting order minors is won, the correct batting order is set for each batting order minor, and the pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as the incorrect answering order, and the stopping operation is performed along the correct batting order. The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the number of medals paid out based on the winning combination of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbols that can be displayed on the display position on the activated line is determined, and incorrect answer order When the stop operation is performed along, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning forms that can be displayed on the effective line increases.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state can be made as much as possible, and the lottery flag is in the non-winning state. The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so as not to win the set part.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, in the stop control table to be referred to when any of batting bell 1 to batting bell 12 is won, if stop operation is performed along the correct batting order, 15 sheets When the small winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed along the incorrect hitting order, the stopping at the pressing detection position is performed so that there is a case where one small winning combination is won or a case where neither winning combination wins (dropout) The position is set.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, in the stop control table referred to when any of batting order minor 1 to batting order minor 12 is won, if the stop operation is performed along the correct batting order, When the 15 small winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed along the incorrect hitting order, the pressing detection position is such that there is a case where one small winning combination is won and a case where neither winning combination is missed (dropout) The stop position for is set.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a part of symbol combinations that can be displayed when a single small winning combination is dropped when a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answering order at the time of winning the winning combination of small winning combination is a chance eye (RT fluctuation Blanks are set as symbol combinations (specific symbol combinations), and symbol combinations other than chance eyes are treated as dropped eyes (symbol combinations different from the specific symbol combinations), and in the incorrect solution order, one small part is played If a stop operation is performed at a timing when it is not possible to win a prize, a symbol combination indicating a chance eye (one of chance eye 1 to chance eye 5) is displayed on the effective line without any role winning. , During the rotation so that there is a case that is displayed on the symbol combination effective line showing any dropped eyes (one of dropped eyes 1 to dropped eyes 3) without winning any part Reel stop positions are determined.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, with respect to the respective symbols of the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 constituting the winning form of one small part of each of the small part 1 to small part 8, two types of the first symbol and the second symbol Symbols are assigned, and on the outer peripheral surface of each of the second reel R2 and the third reel R3, if the first symbol is within the pull-in range (the range of 0 frames to 4 frames), the second symbol is also pull-in range The symbols are arrayed so that they always exist in the inside, and when the batting order minor is won, in the incorrect answering order, the first symbol is selected rather than the second symbol of the two types of symbols that make up the winning combination of one small winning combination. The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so as to be preferentially displayed on the effective line. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the watermelon symbol "WM" is assigned as the first symbol for the symbol of the second reel R2 constituting the winning combination of the small winning combination 1, and the replay symbol A "RPA" is the second symbol. As for the symbol of the third reel R3 assigned, the white 7 symbol "White 7" is assigned as the first symbol, the replay symbol B "RPB" is assigned as the second symbol, and as shown in Fig. 9, the second reel In R2, when the watermelon pattern "WM" exists in the pull-in range, the replay symbol A "RPA" is also arranged so as to always exist in the pull-in range, and in the third reel R3, the white 7 design "White 7" Is arranged within the pull-in range, the replay symbol B “RPB” is also necessarily arranged within the pull-in range.

  Then, when the winning combination is won, in the incorrect answering order, the first symbol is given priority over the second symbol of the two types of symbols constituting the winning combination of one small symbol, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 If you stop the first symbol of the first reel to be displayed on the effective line among the reels to be stopped first, when the small part of one small combination wins, without any combination of winning combination of chance eyes (chance eye 1 Stop the remaining reels in rotation so that there is a case in which the symbol combination indicating any of the chance eyes 5) is displayed on the effective line, and first among the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 When the second symbol is stopped so that the second symbol is displayed on the effective line for the reels to be stopped, the case where one small part wins and the case where any combination does not win are dropped eyes (dropped eyes 1-dropped eyes Any of 3 Symbol combination indicating how) stops the remaining rotating reel so that there is the case that is displayed on the pay line.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the winning combination of the winning bell and the winning winning combination of the winning small player has one small winning combination in common and 15 small winnings different from each other, the winning order is incorrect when the winning bell is won. It is possible to display a symbol combination showing a chance as well as a symbol combination showing a missed shot in the same way as the winning of a small winning combination, but in the incorrect answering order when winning a batting bell, one winning combination of small winnings Since the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the second symbol is displayed on the effective line prior to the first symbol of the two types of symbols, as shown in FIG. Is spinning so that there is a case where a symbol is won, and a symbol combination indicating a missed symbol (one of missed symbol 1 to missed symbol 3) is displayed on the effective line without any winning combination. Stop the reels. As described above, when the batting bell is won, the stop button B2 is displayed by giving priority to the second symbol of the two types of symbols constituting the winning combination of one small winning combination in the incorrect answering order in the incorrect landing order. Alternatively, since the display of the symbol combination indicating the chance is avoided at the time when the stop operation is performed on the stop button B3, the chance is obtained even if one small part in the batting order bell does not win a prize. The symbol combination showing the eyes is never displayed.

  Even if the batting bell is won in the BB1 established state or the BB2 established state, since the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, 15 small winning combinations are won in the correct answering order, and one incorrect winning order During the rotation so that there is a case where a small role is played and a symbol combination showing a dropped eye (one of dropped eye 1 to dropped eye 3) without any prize being displayed is displayed on the effective line Stop the reels.

  In addition, even when the batting order minor combination is won in the BB1 establishment state or BB2 establishment state, since the small combination winning priority is given priority over the bonus, 15 small combination winning combinations in correct batting order, 1 in the wrong solution order When the small part is played, and when the symbol combination showing the chance eye (any one of chance eye 1 to chance eye 5) is displayed on the effective line without winning any of the roles, any role wins. The rotating reel is stopped so that there is a case where a symbol combination indicating a missed eye (one of missed eyes 1 to 3) is displayed on the effective line.

  And in this embodiment, at the time when the first stop operation is performed when the batting bell or batting order small part is won in the BB1 established state or the BB2 established state, the symbols constituting the winning form of any of the small roles must be the effective line Since the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2) are avoided by being displayed on the top, the 15 pieces of the small part included in the batting bell and the batting small part Even if none of the single-part small-prize wins, the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) never wins.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, in the stop control table to be referred to when the first big bonus (BB1) is won, both the case where the first big bonus (BB1) is won and the combination thereof are The stop position for the depression detection position is set such that there is no prize (dropout), and the stop control table referenced when the second big bonus (BB2) is won is the second big bonus (BB2). The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set such that there is a case where the player wins a prize, and a case where neither of the winning combinations wins (drops). In the present embodiment, in particular, when the stop operation is performed at the timing when the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won, the chance is better than the symbol constituting the missed eye. When the symbol combination that indicates the chance eye (any one of chance eye 1 to chance eye 5) is displayed on the effective line, with priority given to the symbols that make up the eyes and without any of the roles winning The reel in rotation is stopped so that there is a case where it is displayed on the symbol combination effective line indicating a dropped eye (one of dropped eye 1 to dropped eye 3) without winning.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a symbol combination indicating a chance may be displayed in the case where the winning combination is won and in the case where the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won. It has become.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, in the stop control table referred to when the JAC is won, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set such that 15 small winnings (small winnings 9) win. ing.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, in the stop control table referred to when any batting order replay is won, the correct batting order is set for each batting order replay, which is different from the correct batting order. The pressing order is treated as an incorrect answering order, and when the stopping operation is performed along the correct hitting order, Replay 2 wins when any of the batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3 is won, and batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 Replay 3 wins at any of the winnings, Replay 1 wins at any of the batting order replay C1 to batting order replay C3 and the stopping operation is performed along the wrong batting order, batting order replay A1 to batting order When one of Replay A3 and Striking Replay B1 to Striking Replay B3 is won, Replay 1 wins, and Striking Replay C1 to Striking At the time of winning Lee C3 stop position with respect to the depression detection position so replay 4 to winning is set.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when the normal replay is won, the stop position for the depression detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins, and is referred to when the chance replay is won. In the stop control table, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that Replay 5 wins, and in the stop control table referred to when Cherry Replay is won, Replay 6 is paid for the win detection position The stop position is set.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process of determining whether or not the winning combination has been won based on the stop modes of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, all of the first to third reels R1 to R3 stopped while referring to the prize determination table stored in the prize determination table storage area 1912 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage unit 190a. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination displayed on the activated line at the time is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. The first big bonus (BB1), the second big bonus (BB2), and the single bonus (SB) are displayed as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 by the symbol combinations displayed on the activated lines in the state where each reel is stopped. A prize determination table is provided so that it can be determined whether or not the replays 1 to 6 and the small part 1 to small part 14 have been won or not and whether or not the chance eyes (chance eyes 1 to 5) are displayed.

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

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

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

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

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

  The gaming state transition control means 170, as shown in FIG. 16, is in the normal state, BB1 established state (bonus established state), BB1 state (bonus state), BB2 established state (bonus established state), BB2 state (bonus condition), And gaming state transition control processing for transitioning the gaming state between the SB state (bonus state). In the present embodiment, information indicating the staying gaming state is stored in the gaming state storage area 1916 provided in the main RAM of the gaming information storage unit 190a. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It is possible to shift to another game state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the BB1 established state, the BB2 established state, and the SB state. Specifically, when the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the normal state, it shifts to the BB1 established state, and when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the normal state, it shifts to the BB2 established state. When the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the single bonus (SB) is displayed on the activated line in the normal state (when the single bonus (SB) is won), the state shifts to the SB state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first big bonus (BB1), the second big bonus (BB2), and the single bonus (SB) are selected as lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to any one of the set internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 5 according to the RT state.

  The BB1 established state is a gaming state transitioning when the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and the BB2 established state is the second big bonus (BB2) in the internal lottery in the normal state Is a gaming state in which the transition is triggered by the winning. In the BB1 established state or the BB2 established state, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery in which the winning probability and the winning mode of the small combination are referred to in the normal state among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 6 which is set in the same manner as the table 5 and any bonus is excluded from the lottery targets and the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 3.6.

  Further, in the BB1 established state, whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the first big bonus (BB1) is maintained in the winning state until the first big bonus (BB1) is won, the first big When the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of the bonus (BB1) is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the BB1 established state to the BB1 state.

  Further, in the BB2 established state, whether or not the small winning combination and replay are determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the second big bonus (BB2) is maintained in the winning state until the second big bonus (BB2) is won, and the second big When the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of the bonus (BB2) is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the BB2 established state to the BB2 state.

  The BB1 state is a gaming state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first big bonus (BB1) is displayed on the activated line as a trigger, and the BB2 state is a winning of the second big bonus (BB2) It is a game state which shifts with the fact that the symbol combination which shows form is displayed on the effective line. In the BB1 state or the BB2 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of the small winning combination is higher than that of the internal lottery table 1 to 5 selected in the normal state. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 7 which has been set and the replay has been excluded from the lottery objects. Thus, the BB1 state and the BB2 state are gaming states more advantageous to the player than the normal state in that the small winning combination is more frequently won than the normal state.

  Further, in the BB1 state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition of the BB1 state is satisfied from the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game in the BB1 state, and the predetermined number of predetermined ending payouts (for example, 210 pieces) When medals exceeding W are paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the BB1 state and restores the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, count information on the number of payouts in the BB1 state is stored in the gaming state storage area 1916.

  Further, in the BB2 state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition of the BB2 state is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game in the BB2 state, and the predetermined number of predetermined ending payouts (for example, 300 pieces) When a medal exceeding T is paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the BB2 state and restores the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, count information on the number of payouts in the BB2 state is stored in the gaming state storage area 1916.

  The SB state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of a single bonus (SB) is displayed on the activated line. In the SB state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first big bonus (BB1), the second big bonus (BB2), and the single bonus (SB) are set as lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1 which is also used in the internal lottery in the normal state.

  In the SB state, it is determined whether the termination condition is satisfied based on the number of games played in the SB state, and when one game is played in the SB state, the gaming state transition control means 170 ends the SB state, In accordance with the game result in the SB state, it shifts to the normal state, the BB1 established state, the BB1 state, the BB2 established state, or the BB2 state. Specifically, if the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the SB state and the first big bonus (BB1) does not win in the game, the BB1 transition state is established, and the first big bonus in the game If the bonus (BB1) wins, it shifts to the BB1 state, and in the SB state the second big bonus (BB2) is won, and if the second big bonus (BB2) does not win in the game, the BB2 is established. It shifts to the state, and if the second big bonus (BB2) wins in the game, it shifts to the BB2 state, a single bonus (SB) wins in the SB state, and a single bonus (SB) wins in the game In the case, it is made to shift to the SB state again, and the single bonus (SB) is won in the SB state, but the single bo If you scan (SB) did not win, if you did not win any of the bonus in SB state is to return to the normal state.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the RT control means 173 is in the non-RT state (non-replay time state), the RT1 state (first replay time state: specific RT state), the RT2 state (second replay time state), and the RT3 state (second replay time state). RT transition control processing is performed to shift the RT state between the third replay time state) and the RT4 state (fourth replay time state). In the present embodiment, the information indicating the staying RT state is stored in the RT state storage area 1917 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery mode of replays differs depending on the RT state, and specifically, at least one of the combinations of replay winning probability, types of replays to be lottery targets, and replays winning in duplicate are different. ing. That is, when the RT state changes, the winning probability of some or all replays may be different before and after the change. As the transition condition of the RT state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the RT state is determined based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It can be transitioned to another RT state.

  The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, when the symbol combination indicating the chance eye (one of the chance eye 1 to the chance eye 5: RT fluctuation blank) is displayed on the effective line, the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the non-RT state, among the internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, chance replay, and cherry replay are set as the replay mode, and the winning probability of replay is about 1 An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 1 set to /7.2 is performed.

  The RT1 state is an RT state that transitions with the game state returning to the normal state with the end of the BB1 state, and it is possible to transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, the RT3 state, and the non-RT state. It has become. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 2 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (when Replay 2 wins), it shifts to the RT2 state, and the chance eye (chance eye in the RT1 state) When the symbol combination showing 1st to 5th chances is displayed on the effective line, it shifts to the RT3 state, and in the RT1 state, the symbol combination showing the winning form of the single bonus (SB) is on the effective line If it is displayed (if the single bonus (SB) has won), the non-RT state is entered. In the RT1 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, chance replay, cherry replay, and batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3 are set as winning modes of replay, An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 2 in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.2.

  The RT2 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 2 is displayed on the activated line as a trigger, and from the RT2 state, the transition to the RT3 state and the non-RT state becomes possible. ing. Specifically, when a symbol combination indicating a chance (one of chance 1 to 5) is displayed on the effective line in the RT2 state, the state shifts to the RT3 state, and a single bonus (SB) is displayed in the RT2 state. When the symbol combination indicating the winning form of) is displayed on the activated line (when the single bonus (SB) has won), the non-RT state is entered. Further, in the RT2 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, chance replay, and cherry replay are set as the winning mode of replay, and the winning probability of replay is approximately 1/0. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 set to 2.0.

  The RT3 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the chance eye (any one of the chance eyes 1 to 5) is displayed on the effective line, and the RT state transitions to the RT4 state and the non-RT3 state. It is possible to shift to the RT state. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 3 is displayed on the activated line in the RT3 state (when Replay 3 wins), the state shifts to the RT4 state, and a single bonus (SB) in the RT3 state When the symbol combination indicating the winning form of is displayed on the activated line (when the single bonus (SB) has won), the non-RT state is entered. In the RT3 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, chance replay, cherry replay, and batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 are set as the replay mode. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 4 in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.2. In the present embodiment, when the symbol combination indicating a chance is displayed on the effective line in the normal state or the SB state, the RT state is shifted to the RT3 state, while the chance eye is in the BB1 established state or the BB2 established state. When the symbol combination indicating the symbol is displayed on the effective line, the current RT state is maintained without shifting to the RT3 state. For this reason, even if the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the normal state and the symbol combination indicating the chance in the game is displayed on the effective line, the transition to the RT3 state is performed. Absent.

  The RT4 state is an RT state in which the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 3 is displayed on the activated line as a trigger, and from the RT4 state, the transition to the RT3 state and the non-RT state becomes possible. ing. Specifically, when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of Replay 4 is displayed on the active line in the RT4 state (when Replay 3 wins), or in the RT4 state, chance eyes (Chance eyes 1 to 5) When the symbol combination showing any is displayed on the effective line, it shifts to the RT3 state, and when the symbol combination showing the winning form of the single bonus (SB) in the RT4 state is displayed on the effective line (single When a bonus (SB) is won, the non-RT state is entered. In the RT4 state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 7 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay, chance replay, cherry replay, and batting order replay C1 to batting order replay C3 are set as the replay mode. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 2.0. In the present embodiment, the RT4 state is set when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the BB2 state.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the privilege giving means 175 changes the rendering state among a plurality of types of rendering states including the non-AT state, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the 1 navigation waiting state, and predetermined conditions The effect state is set to the AT state (assist time state), the success or failure of the end condition of the AT state is judged based on the value of the AT game number counter 1919, and the AT state is ended when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied. Control. In the present embodiment, information indicating the staying effect state is stored in the effect state storage area 1918 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a. Further, in this embodiment, in principle, when staying in the AT preparation state or the AT state in the normal state, the bonus provision means 175 provides the game information display section DS at the time of winning the batting bell or batting small part. 15 pieces of small part (small part 9, small part 10, small part 11, small part 12, small part 13 or, by displaying information corresponding to correct answer batting order on the main display 300 consisting of the 7 segment display Small winnings 14: A correct hitting order notification for assisting the winning of a predetermined small winning combination is performed, and the presentation control means 180 displays an image corresponding to the correct hitting order on the liquid crystal display LCD when the batting order bell or batting order small winning combination is won. Is displayed to assist the player in winning the 15 small prizes, and an assist tie is easier to win than a game staying in a non-AT state. Thereby making it possible to perform the game.

  In addition, as shown in Figure 19, bonus grant expedient 175 makes it possible to set the regular section, the internal inside waiting section and the advantageous section, prohibit execution of the assist time game in the normal section, only when it is the advantageous section Allow the execution of the assist time game. Specifically, in the normal section, the effect state is fixed to the non-AT state which is the initial state, the AT lottery (specific lottery) is performed, and the advantageous section is started by selecting the AT lottery and the advantageous section is selected. The production state can be set to the AT state only for a limited time. Then, in the game of the normal section, when the gaming state is the normal state, the bonus granting means 175 has the winning mode obtained in the internal lottery as the chance replay, the cherry replay, the second big bonus (BB2), or the single bonus Perform AT lottery based on being either (SB). That is, in this embodiment, the first big bonus (BB1) in which the winning probability varies according to the set value, the normal replay in which the winning probability varies according to the RT state, batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3, batting order replay B1 The batting order replay B3 and the batting order replay C1 to batting order replay C3 and the loss (loss in the internal lottery) have not become the lottery triggers for the AT lottery.

  In the AT lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and whether or not the AT lottery is won (AT winning) according to the comparison result Determine In the AT lottery table, winning or losing is assigned to random numbers for the internal lottery corresponding to each of the chance replay, cherry replay, second big bonus (BB2), and single bonus (SB). The random number value acquired for the internal lottery is associated with any of chance replay, cherry replay, second big bonus (BB2), or single bonus (SB), and is associated with winning in the AT lottery table. If it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery does not fluctuate under the influence of the set value or the RT state, but the winning probability of the AT lottery varies depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery, and in particular 2 At AT lotteries based on the big bonus (BB2) win, you will always win.

  Then, when the benefit awarding means 175 wins the AT lottery in the normal section, it executes the advantageous zone shift processing based on the winning in the AT lottery, and in principle, the advantage zone from the next game of the game won in the AT lottery The start is performed, and the effect state is shifted from the non-AT state to the AT state via the AT preparation state in the advantageous section to perform the assist time game. In the present embodiment, in the advantageous section transition process, the gaming section is shifted to the advantageous section, and in principle, the advantageous section is started from the next game of the game in which the AT lottery is won. Further, in the advantageous section transition process, the navigation flag stored in the navigation flag storage area 1921 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a is set to the on state. In the present embodiment, the navigation flag is set to the off state based on the satisfaction of the specific condition. Specifically, when the navigation flag is in the on state in the advantageous section, the winning probability does not change depending on whether the correct batting order notification (and the prize assistance effect) is executed when the batting bell or batting order minor is won. 2) When the big bonus (BB2) or the single bonus (SB) is won, it is determined that the specific condition is satisfied, and the navigation flag is set to the off state. However, in the present embodiment, when the navigation flag is in the ON state in the advantageous section, the navigation flag is not set to the OFF state depending on the winning or winning of the first big bonus (BB1) in which the winning probability varies according to the setting value. Keep it on. This navigation flag is for determining whether or not the end of the advantageous section not depending on the value of the clear counter 1920 described later is permitted, and the second big bonus (BB2) in which the probability of winning does not change according to the set value. For the single bonus (SB), although the end timing of the advantageous section is not affected by the set value even if it is associated with the end of the advantageous section, the first big bonus (BB1) in which the winning probability changes according to the set value In the case of), the end timing of the advantageous section is prevented from being influenced by the set value by being related to the end of the advantageous section.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, it is possible to set an internal middle standby section, and the benefit granting means 175 sets the second big bonus (BB2) in the normal section. If the second big bonus (BB2) is won without the second big bonus (BB2) winning but the second big bonus (BB2) is won, the internal middle standby section is passed. Then, the start of the advantageous section is suspended, and the advantageous section is started when the second big bonus (BB2) is won. In the present embodiment, even if the first big bonus (BB1) is won, the AT lottery is not performed when the first big bonus (BB1) is won, so that the first big bonus (BB1) is won. Even if is carried over, it does not shift to the internal middle waiting section, and the normal section is maintained. In addition, since the state in which the single bonus (SB) is won is not carried over to the next and subsequent games, the single bonus (SB) does not win if it is won in the AT lottery triggered by the single bonus (SB). Also, when the advantageous section is started and the AT lottery triggered by the single bonus (SB) is not won, the normal section is maintained regardless of the presence or absence of the single bonus (SB).

  Then, when the AT award is won, the benefit granting means 175 determines the value of the AT game number counter 1919 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a in the advantageous segment transition process based on the winning of the AT lottery. While performing processing to set to a value, the rendering state is shifted to the AT preparation state. Specifically, when winning an AT lottery triggered by winning a chance replay, cherry replay, or single bonus (SB), the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is set to a specific value (for example, the number of times of one game) If the right to shift to the AT state is generated (given) by performing the process of setting to the value “1” corresponding to, and the AT lottery which is triggered by the win of the second big bonus (BB2) is won Determines the right to shift to the AT state by performing processing to set the value of the AT game number counter 1919 to a value (for example, "50") corresponding to the initial number of games for assist time game (for example, 50 times) Let The specific value set in the AT game number counter 1919 when winning in the AT lottery triggered by the chance replay, cherry replay, or single bonus (SB) win is a value corresponding to the initial number of times of assist time game and It may be a value different from any of the initial value "0", and may be, for example, a value larger than a value (for example, "50") corresponding to the initial number of times of assist time game. In addition, when winning the AT lottery triggered by the win of the second big bonus (BB2), holds the winning information of the AT lottery until the end of the BB2 state, the BB2 state ends and the gaming state returns to the normal state The production state is set to the AT state triggered by doing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the processing in the advantageous section, the RT state is the RT1 state or the RT2 state when the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is a specific value (for example, “1”) in the first game of the advantageous section. The process of rewriting the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is performed on the condition that the user is staying at. Specifically, the benefit granting means 175 determines whether the RT state is the RT1 state or the RT2 state when the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is a specific value (for example, “1”) in the first game of the advantageous segment It is determined whether or not the RT state is the RT1 state or the RT2 state, and the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is a value corresponding to the initial game frequency (for example, 50 times) of the assist time game (for example, " AT state by performing a process of rewriting to 50 ′ ′) (or adding (overlaying) a value (for example, “49”) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 49 times) to the AT game number counter 1919) Finalize the right to That is, in the present embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the game which is in the normal section and is staying in the RT1 state or the RT2 state, the termination condition of the RT1 state or the RT2 state in the game winning the AT lottery (for example, If the symbol combination display indicating the winning form of the single bonus (SB) is not established, the right to shift to the AT state is decided. In addition, the initial game frequency of the assist time game to be rewritten when the RT state satisfies the conditions of the RT1 state or the RT2 state is not limited to 50 times, and it is arbitrarily selected according to the game specification, such as selecting from plural types of game times. be able to.

  On the other hand, even if the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is a specific value (for example, “1”) in the first game of the advantageous section, the RT state is the non-RT state, the RT3 state, or the RT4 state (RT state When the condition of RT1 state or RT2 state is not satisfied), the process of rewriting the value of AT game number counter 1919 is not performed, and assist is made in principle by shifting the rendering state from the AT preparation state to the 1 navigation wait state. End the advantageous section without playing a time game. That is, in this embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in a game which is a normal section and is staying in the non-RT state, the RT3 state, or the RT4 state, the RT1 state from the non-RT state, the RT3 state, or the RT4 state Alternatively, since it is not possible to directly shift to the RT2 state, the right to shift to the AT state is extinguished (deactivated) except in the case of winning the AT lottery triggered by the winning of the second big bonus (BB2). In this case, the process of rewriting the value of the AT game number counter 1919 to the initial value "0" erases the right to shift to the AT state (makes it invalid), and puts the effect state in the 1 navi wait state. It may be made to shift. As described above, in the present embodiment, the right to transition to the AT state under the conditions advantageous to the case of staying in the non-RT state, the RT3 state, or the RT4 state when staying in the RT1 state or the RT2 state is Can be earned.

  When an AT lottery is won with the second big bonus (BB2) winning, the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is different from a specific value (for example, “1”) based on the AT lottery winning. Since the value (for example, “50”) is set, the process of rewriting the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is not performed in the first game of the advantageous section, and the effect state is set to the AT state after the BB2 state ends.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the awarding means 175 reports the correct batting order to lead the RT state to the RT4 state, and the effect control means 180 brings the RT state to the RT4 state. An auxiliary presentation is performed. For example, when staying in the RT1 state, the correct hit sequence notification and the prize assistance effect notifying the correct hit sequence so that Replay 2 can be made a prize when winning any of the battling replay A1 to the batting order replay A3. If it is executed to guide the RT state to the RT2 state and stay in the RT3 state, the correct batting order is made so that Replay 3 can be won when any of batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 is won. The correct state batting order notification and the prize assisting effect to be notified are executed to guide the RT state to the RT4 state.

  In the present embodiment, a correct hitting order notification and a prize assisting effect to notify the correct hitting order at the time of winning the winning combination in the AT preparation state are performed, but stay in the non RT state, the RT1 state or the RT2 state in the AT preparation state. In this case, in order to shift the RT state to the RT3 state, the stop operation needs to be performed in the incorrect answer order in order to display the symbol combination showing the chance on the effective line. For this reason, even while in the AT preparation state, while staying in the non-RT state, the RT1 state, or the RT2 state, the correct batting order notification and the prize assisting effect are not executed when the batting small part is won.

  Then, the privilege giving means 175 shifts the effect state from the AT preparation state to the AT state based on the RT state transitioning to the RT 4 state when it is set to the AT preparation state. It should be noted that the transition from the AT preparation state to the AT state is the AT state at the end of the game based on any one of batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 being won in the RT3 state when it is set to the AT preparation state. It may be made to shift to

  In the present embodiment, when the first big bonus (BB1) or the single bonus (SB) is won in the AT preparation state, the condition is that the user stays in the advantageous section at the end of the BB1 state or the SB state. The rendering state after the end of the BB1 state or the SB state is set to the AT preparation state, and the RT state shifts to the RT4 state and then shifts the rendering state to the AT state, and the second big bonus (BB2) in the AT preparation state When the player wins, the presentation state after the end of the BB2 state is set to the AT state on condition that the user is staying in the advantageous section at the end of the BB2 state. If a single bonus (SB) is won in the AT preparation state and one of the batting order minors is won in the SB state transitioned with the winning of the single bonus (SB), the correct hit order notification and the prize assistance effect are executed. It may or may not be executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the AT state, the award giving means 175 gives a notification of the correct batting order to maintain the RT4 state, and the effect control means 180 executes the prize assistance effect to maintain the RT4 state. Ru. For example, when staying in the RT4 state, the correct batting order notification and the prize assisting effect of notifying the correct batting order are executed so that the replay 1 can be made to win a prize when winning any of the batting order replay C1 to batting replay C3. The RT state is maintained at the RT4 state.

  In addition, when the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT3 state due to the player's operation mistake in the AT state, the correct order batting order notification and the winning combination so as to restore the RT state to the RT4 state as long as staying in the AT state. An auxiliary production is performed. However, if the RT state falls to the non-RT state in the AT state, the symbol combination showing the chance is displayed on the effective line in order to guide the RT state to the RT3 state, at the time of winning the winning combination. The correct batting order notification and the prize assistance presentation are not performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the benefit giving means 175 notifies the correct batting order, batting order information which is information corresponding to the correct batting order is displayed on the main display 300, but the batting order number is set for each correct batting order. The batting order 1 to the batting order 6 shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 correspond to the batting order number, and the main display 300 displays seven segments according to “1” (strike order 1), “2” (strike order 2), “3” (batning order). A batting order number is selected as batting order information: batting order 3), "4" (batting order 4), "5" (batting order 5), or "6" (batting order 6). However, in the present embodiment, there may be a plurality of correct batting orders in the batting bell, the batting small part, and the batting replay, and in such a case, one of the plural types of correct batting order is drawn for notification by lottery. The batting order number is displayed by determining as the correct batting order or setting in advance the correct batting order for notification according to the winning mode. Further, the main display 300 need not necessarily be provided exclusively, and may be used also as a credit display for displaying the number of credits of medals in the game information display section DS and a payout display for displaying the number of payouts of medals. It is also good. For example, when the batting order number is displayed on the credit display, the batting order number is displayed instead of the credit number of the medal based on the fact that the game start operation to the start lever SL is performed, and all reels are stopped. The number of credits of the medal may be displayed instead of the batting order number based on (or that the winning determination process has been performed).

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175, when set to the AT state, every time one assist time game is performed, for example, the value of the AT game number counter 1919 triggered by the depression of the start lever SL. The decrement update is performed by subtracting a fixed value “1” corresponding to one assist time game from. In the AT state, the decremental update of the AT game number counter 1919 is continued even in the process of returning the RT state to the RT4 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT3 state due to the operation mistake of the player.

  Then, when the value of the AT game number counter 1919 reaches the initial value "0", it is determined that the termination condition of the AT state is satisfied, the privilege giving means 175 sets the rendering state to the 1 navigation wait state, and waits 1 navigation When the navigation flag is set to the off state in the state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, if the correct batting order notification is made in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the termination condition of the 1 navigation waiting state is satisfied at the time of transition to the 1 navigation waiting state.

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 is the AT game number counter when the winning mode obtained in the internal lottery in the AT state is a chance replay, a cherry replay, a second big bonus (BB2), or a single bonus (SB). Perform an addition lottery to determine whether to add a given addition value to the value of 1919. In the present embodiment, the addition number is added to the value of the AT game number counter 1919 so that the number of times of execution of the assist time game in the advantageous section can be increased.

  In the additional lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and it is determined whether or not the additional lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the additional lottery table, winning or losing is associated with random numbers for internal lottery corresponding to each of chance replay, cherry replay, second big bonus (BB2), and single bonus (SB). The random number value acquired in the internal lottery is associated with any of chance replay, cherry replay, second big bonus (BB2), or single bonus (SB), and is associated with winning in the additional lottery table. If so, it is determined that the winning lottery has been won. Further, in this embodiment, the additional lottery table according to the winning mode of the combination in the internal lottery is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is “single bonus (SB) < The order of Cherry Replay <Chance Replay <Second Big Bonus (BB2) is high, and in particular, it is always selected in the additional lottery based on the second Big Bonus (BB2). In addition, a large additional value is selected in the order of “single bonus (SB) <second big bonus (BB2) <cherry replay <chance replay” ”when winning the additional lottery. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery and the added value when the additional lottery is won are not changed depending on the set value. Further, the relationship between the winning mode of the combination in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the additional lottery, and the relationship between the winning mode of the combination in the internal lottery and the added value when winning the additional lottery is not limited to those described above. It can be determined.

  In addition, when the first big bonus (BB1) or the single bonus (SB) is won in the AT state, the benefit granting means 175 cancels the decrement update of the AT game number counter 1919 based on the winning of the bonus, and AT The RT state transitions to the RT4 state via the AT ready state from the end of the BB1 state or SB state on condition that the state is interrupted and the BB1 state or the SB state is also staying in the advantageous section after the state is terminated. At the same time, the AT state is resumed. Also, if the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the AT state, the AT game number counter 1919 cancels the decrement update on the basis of the winning of the bonus and suspends the AT state, even after the BB2 state ends. The AT state is resumed after the end of the BB2 state on condition that it stays in the advantageous section.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the batting bell or batting order small part is elected in the 1 navi waiting state, the correct batting order notification and prize assistance effect to notify the correct batting order are performed, and the batting order notification (and The navi flag is set to the off state based on the execution of the prize assistance effect). In the 1-navigation waiting state, the navigation flag is set to the off state based on the winning of the second big bonus (BB2) or the single bonus (SB). In the 1-navigation state, when the batting bell or the batting small part wins, the correct batting order notification and the prize assisting effect are performed regardless of the gaming state and the RT state.

  Then, the privilege giving means 175 performs control to end the advantageous section in principle, judging that the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied when the effect state is the 1 navi wait state and the navi flag is off.

  In the present embodiment, in the game of the advantageous section, when the gaming state is the normal state and the rendering state is the 1 navi wait state, the winning mode obtained by the internal lottery is the second big bonus (BB2) Perform AT lottery based on. In addition, in the AT lottery based on the win of the second big bonus (BB2) in the 1 navi wait state, the player always wins.

  Then, when the benefit awarding means 175 wins the AT lottery, the AT game number counter 1919 has a value (for example, 50 times) corresponding to the initial number of assist time games (for example, “50 times”) based on winning the AT lottery. The right to shift to the AT state is decided by performing the process of adding 50 "), and the rendering state is set to the AT state triggered by the BB2 state ending and the gaming state returning to the normal state. For this reason, when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the 1 navigation waiting state, the advantageous section is exceptionally continued.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the benefit giving unit 175 sets the value of the clear counter 1920 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a in the advantageous section transition process to a predetermined value (for example, 1). Each time a game is played, incremental update is performed to add a fixed value (for example, 1) equivalent to the game for one game to the value of the clear counter 1920, and the value of the clear counter 1920 is a threshold (for example, It is determined that the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied also when 1500) is exceeded (when the value of the clear counter reaches "1501"). In the present embodiment, the update of the clear counter 1920 is performed after all the rotating reels in each game are stopped, but if it is determined in advance in each game, the update of the clear counter 1920 is performed at any timing. For example, a game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update opportunity. In the advantageous section, the clear counter 1920 is updated even if the game state, the RT state, or the transition of the effect state occurs unless the end condition of the advantageous section is met. If you win the AT lottery that took place at the time of the second big bonus (BB2), but the second big bonus (BB2) does not win, and the advantage section starts via the internal waiting section, In the internal waiting period, the clear counter 1920 is not updated, and the update of the clear counter 1920 is started at the start of the advantageous period.

  Note that the threshold value of the clear counter 1920 can be set so that the number of medals acquired (difference between the number of medals inserted and the number of payouts) in the advantageous section does not exceed a predetermined number, and in the present embodiment The number of medals won is set not to exceed 3000. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 1920 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated at 3000 sheets / tilt value. Here, the inclination value is the expectation value of the net increase number of medals per game by assist time game and bonus game, and in the present embodiment, the payout rate is the highest among the set values of 6 stages of setting 1 to setting 6 In the setting 6 where the expected value is high, the inclination value is two. Therefore, the number of games played in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1,500 (= 3000 sheets / two), and after the clear counter 1920 is set to "1" in accordance with the transition to the advantageous section, 1500 times The threshold value is set to end the advantageous section after counting the number of games. Thus, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit number of medals obtained and the inclination value, and can be set arbitrarily depending on the design of these. The threshold value of the clear counter 1920 may be any value as long as the maximum number of games played in the advantageous section is 1,500 or less, and may be a fixed value not depending on the inclination value.

  In addition, the benefit granting means 175 performs an initialization process to initialize the information stored in a predetermined storage area of the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a based on the end of the advantageous section. Particularly, in the present embodiment, regarding the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190, the information stored in the effect state storage area 1918, the AT game number counter 1919, the clear counter 1920, and the navigation flag storage area 1921 Initialize by conversion processing. That is, in the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section, the information stored in the set value storage area 1913, the credit information storage area 1914, the lottery flag storage area 1915, the gaming state storage area 1916, and the RT state storage area 1917 is initial. It is kept unaltered. Then, when the initialization processing according to the end of the advantageous section is performed, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, the navigation flag is turned off, and the values of the AT game number counter 1919 and the clear counter 1920 have initial values “0”. And reset to the normal section.

  Then, in the present embodiment, the initialization processing is executed along with the end of the advantageous section to return to the normal section, and therefore, when the value of the clear counter 1920 exceeds the threshold value in the state of staying in the AT state. The AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, the navi flag is turned off, and the values of the AT game number counter 1919 and the clear counter 1920 are It is initialized to an initial value "0". In addition, even if the value of the clear counter 1920 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where it is staying in the other rendering state, the rendering state which is currently staying is forcibly terminated by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section. The effect state is initialized to the non-AT state and the navi flag is turned off, and the values of the AT game number counter 1919 and the clear counter 1920 are initialized to the initial value "0". In the present embodiment, the rendering state is not initialized by power on / off, but the rendering state is also performed when the initialization process is performed in the setting change mode when activated in the setting change mode. The initialization is made to the non-AT state and the navigation flag is turned off, and the values of the AT game number counter 1919 and the clear counter 1920 are initialized to the initial value "0".

  In addition, even if the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the advantageous section, the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the bonus is won, and the initialization accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed. When the processing is performed, the BB1 state or the BB2 state, which is shifted by the winning of the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2), is set to the normal section. In addition, even if the transition to the BB1 state or the BB2 state in the advantageous section, the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the BB1 or BB2 end condition is satisfied, and the initialization processing is performed according to the end of the advantageous section. In this case, after the initialization process, the game state is switched to the normal section while being in the BB1 state or the BB2 state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the AT lottery is prohibited in the internal middle standby section, and the AT lottery is not executed even when a winning mode that is an opportunity to execute the AT lottery is obtained by the internal lottery.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even when staying in the BB1 established state or the BB2 established state in a situation where the value of the clear counter 1920 exceeds the threshold value, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process associated with the end of the advantageous section In this case, if it is not possible to win the bonus which has already been won in the game of the normal section after the end of the advantageous section, the winning of the bonus involves the transition to the advantageous section. Since there is not, the normal section is maintained and it does not shift to the internal middle waiting section.

  Further, in the present embodiment, regardless of whether the end condition of the BB1 state or the BB2 state is satisfied even when the value of the clear counter 1920 stays in the BB1 state or the BB2 state when the value of the clear counter 1920 exceeds the threshold value. The advantage section is ended without doing, the initialization processing with the end of the advantage section is done, it moves to the normal section, but because the AT lottery is not done in the BB1 state and the BB2 state in the normal section If the advantageous section ends in the situation where the BB1 state or the BB2 state is staying, and the initialization process is performed according to the end of the advantageous section, the rendering state after the end of the BB1 state or the BB2 state is always non It will be in the AT state. Since initialization of the game state is not performed depending on the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section, the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed in the situation where the player is staying in the BB1 state or the BB2 state. Information such as the number of payouts in the BB1 state or BB2 state game that has been digested until the initialization process is performed is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, and the BB1 state or BB2 The game in the state is performed until the end condition of the BB1 state or the BB2 state is satisfied.

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

  And in this embodiment, the privilege provision means 175 is based on the value of the clear counter 1920 to start or complete | finish the advantageous area alerting | reporting which is alerting | reporting of staying in the advantageous area. For example, when the clear counter 1920 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in accordance with the transition to the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1920 becomes larger than the initial value “0” (clear counter 1920 Based on that the value is not the initial value “0”, the advantageous section notification is started, and the value of the clear counter 1920 is initialized to the initial value “0” as the advantageous section ends and shifts to the normal section. If it is determined that the value of the clear counter 1920 has become the initial value "0", the advantageous section notification is ended.

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

  Based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage area 1922 provided in the sub ROM of the effect information storage means 190b, the effect control means 180 performs a display effect or the like performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device). Control relating to sound effects performed using the sound device 340 (an example of a rendering device) is performed. For example, the lamp or LED is lit or blinked according to the occurrence of a game event such as insertion of medals or operation on the bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, and changes in gaming state, RT state, and presentation state. By changing the display content of the liquid crystal display LCD or outputting a sound from the speaker SP, execution control of effects for supporting the game or assisting the game is performed according to the progress of the game. The contents of the effect to be executed in the game, the effect lottery table stored in the sub lottery table storage area 1923 provided in the sub ROM of the effect information storage means 190b, the gaming state, effect state, the result of the internal lottery, etc. Determined by reference accordingly. In this embodiment, based on the image data read into the image buffer 1924, image data corresponding to the progress of the game is read from the effect data storage area 1922 of the sub ROM into the image buffer 1924 provided in the sub RAM. The image is output to the liquid crystal display LCD, and sound data corresponding to the progress of the game is read from the effect data storage area 1922 of the sub ROM into the sound buffer 1925 provided in the sub RAM, and the sound read in the sound buffer 1925 A sound based on the data is output from the speaker SP.

  Then, in the case where the effect state is the AT preparation state, the AT state, or the 1 navigation waiting state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when the batting bell or the batting small part is won and assists the winning of the fifteen small part. Control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute the winning a prize assistance effect is performed. However, even if the rendering state is the AT preparation state, the RT state is the non-RT state, the RT1 state, or the RT2 state, or the RT state is the non-RT state even if the rendering state is the AT state. Even if the batting order minor combination is won until the symbol combination indicating a chance is displayed on the activated line in order to guide the gaming state to the RT3 state, the prize assistance effect is not performed. Further, when the effect state is the 1 navi wait state, the winning assistance effect is provided when the batting bell or the batting small part is won regardless of the gaming state and the RT state.

  In addition, when the rendering state is the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when any of the batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3 is won in the situation where the RT state is staying in the RT1 state. In the situation where RT condition is staying in RT3 state, the display assistance 330 or sound device 340 executes the prize assistance effect to assist the winning of Replay 2 and the correct batting order is given when the batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 are won. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the acoustic device 340 to execute a prize assistance effect that notifies the player and assists the player in winning the replay 3.

  Further, in a situation where the RT state is in the RT4 state when the rendering state is the AT state, the effect control means 180 reports the correct batting order at the time of winning of any of the batting order replay C1 to batting order replay C3. In a situation where the display device 330 and the sound device 340 execute a prize assisting effect for assisting the replay 1 winning and the RT state is in the RT3 state, the correct batting order is notified when the batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 is won. Then, control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a prize assisting effect for assisting the replay 3 in the winning.

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

2. Method of the Present Embodiment In the present embodiment, it is possible to set the normal section and the advantageous section as the game section, and the assist time game can be executed only when it is the advantageous section, and the assist time at the start of the advantageous section A method is employed that determines whether or not to grant a benefit associated with the game according to the RT state. The control method of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21. 20 and 21 are flowcharts showing control processing in the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  Specifically, in the normal section, the effect state is fixed to the non-AT state, and in the normal section, when the gaming state is the normal state, the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, and the AT lottery is won Based on what has been done, the advantageous section is started, and in the advantageous section, the rendering state is shifted from the non-AT state to the AT state via the AT preparation state to perform the assist time game. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the chances of winning the first big bonus (BB1) fluctuates according to the set value, and in the normal section, the chance replay does not change the win probability depending on the set value. AT lottery is performed when replay, second big bonus (BB2), or single bonus (SB) is won, but for the first big bonus (BB1) whose winning probability fluctuates according to the setting value Since it has not become an opportunity, even if the first big bonus (BB1) is won in the normal section, it does not shift to the advantageous section, and even in the BB1 state, which shifts with the winning of the first big bonus (BB1). The normal section continues.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the first big bonus (the winning probability varies according to the set value) by shifting the RT state between the non-RT state and the RT1 to RT4 in the normal state. If you win the AT lottery in the normal section after the end of the BB1 state transitioned with the BB1) winning, it will start the advantageous section, but according to the RT state at the start of the advantageous section, it grants the privilege associated with the assist time game If the RT state is the RT1 state or the RT2 state at the start of the advantageous section, a benefit associated with the assist time game is given.

  Specifically, when the AT lottery is won when the chance replay, the cherry replay, or the single bonus (SB) is won in the normal section, an advantageous section transition process is performed, as shown in FIG. 20 in the advantageous section transition process. The value of the AT game number counter 1919 is set to the specific value "1" (step S100), the rendering state is set to the AT preparation state (step S101), and the value of the clear counter 1920 is set to the predetermined value "1". Then, the navigation flag is set to ON (step S103), the gaming section is set to the advantageous section (step S104), and the advantageous section is started from the next game. In the advantageous section process, the value "50" of the AT game counter 1919 corresponds to the initial number of times of assist time game, when the AT lottery is won by the second big bonus (BB2). Set to

  Then, in the first game of the advantageous section (at the start of the advantageous section), as shown in FIG. 21, when the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is the specific value “1” (Y in step S200), the RT state is Whether the RT1 state or the RT2 state is determined (step S201), and the RT state satisfies the conditions of the RT1 state or the RT2 state (Y in step S201), the value of the AT game number counter 1919 is set. Processing to rewrite the value to "50" corresponding to the initial number of times of assist time game is performed and the right to shift to the AT state is decided (step S202), the effect state is changed from the RT preparation state to the AT state along with the transition to the RT4 state. The state is shifted to assist time game. On the other hand, if the RT state does not satisfy the conditions of the RT1 state or the RT2 state (N in step S201), the effect state is set to 1 navigation wait state and the right to shift to the AT state is eliminated (step S203) 1 In order to shift to the non-AT state by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section from the 1 navigation waiting state in principle, the advantageous section ends without the assist time game being performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the normal section, in the non-RT state, the RT3 state, or the RT4 state, even if the right to shift to the AT state occurs due to the winning of the AT lottery, the start of the advantageous section Because the right sometimes disappears, it is not possible to obtain the right to shift to the AT state as a result, while the status to stay in the RT1 state or the RT2 state generates the right to shift to the AT state by winning the AT lottery. Since the right is established at the start of the advantageous section, it is possible to obtain the right to shift to the AT state (a benefit associated with the assist time game) as a result. That is, in the situation where the user stays in the RT1 state or the RT2 state in the normal section, since the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained by winning the AT lottery, the situation is an opportunity to obtain the right to shift to the AT state. The situation is advantageous to the player corresponding to the zone.

  And in this embodiment, when the BB1 state transitioning with the winning of the first big bonus (BB1) having a setting difference is completed, the RT state is transitioned to the RT1 state where the right to transition to the AT state can be obtained. When the BB1 state ends in the normal section, it is possible to play the game in a situation advantageous to the player corresponding to the chance zone where the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained. For this reason, in this embodiment, even if there is no opportunity to obtain the right to transition to the AT state in the BB1 state, transition to an advantageous situation in which the right to transition to the AT state can be obtained in the normal section after the end of the BB1 state Thus, even when the first big bonus (BB1) having a setting difference in the normal section is won, the player can be given a sense of expectation for assist time game, and the interest of the game in the normal section is improved. Can be

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, it is possible to shift from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and in the RT1 state, batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3 are included in the lottery object, and batting order replay A1 to When a stop operation is performed in the correct batting order when any of the batting replays A3 is won, the replay 2 wins, and when the replay 2 wins, the state shifts to the RT 2 state. And in the RT2 state, since the winning probability of replay is set higher than the RT1 state, if the state is shifted from the RT1 state to the RT2 state after the BB1 state ends in the normal section, in the RT2 state, the AT state is performed while suppressing medal consumption. You will be able to play games in an advantageous situation where you can get the right to transition to

  Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of winning any of the batting order minors is set lower than the winning probability of winning of any batting bell, and as shown in FIG. When a combination of symbols showing the winning form of one small combination can not be displayed on the effective line in the incorrect hit order at the time of winning the small combination, the case of displaying the symbol combination indicating the chance on the effective line and Stop the rotating reel so that there is a case that the symbol combination showing the dropped eye is displayed on the effective line, and the symbol combination showing the chance in the RT1 state or RT2 state is displayed on the effective line In order to shift the RT state to the RT3 state and the RT3 state, it is possible to suppress the appearance ratio of the symbol combination that indicates the chance of the RT1 state or the RT2 state ending. Stay period of RT1 state or RT2 state (a state that is advantageous to the player corresponding to the chance zone that can obtain the transition right to AT state) where the right to transition to AT state can be acquired in the normal section after the end of the state It can be secured.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT preparation state is prolonged when staying in the non-RT state, the RT1 state, or the RT2 state in the AT preparation state by suppressing the appearance ratio of the symbol combination indicating the chances. There is a concern, but in the RT2 state, since the probability of winning the replay is set higher than in the non-RT state and the RT1 state, the amount of medal consumption if staying in the RT2 state even if the AT preparation state is prolonged Can wait for the start of the AT state while reducing the disadvantage of the player. Further, in the present embodiment, the transition to the AT state is made because the probability that the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the AT preparation state is increased by prolonging the AT preparation state. It is possible to increase the expectation value of the number of medals acquired by the assist time game and the bonus game from the start of the AT preparation state after the acquisition of the right to the start of the AT preparation state, and to improve the interest of the game. Can. If the RT state is in the non-RT state, the RT1 state, or the RT2 state in the AT preparation state, the correct batting order notification and the prize assistance effect are not performed when the batting small part is won, but it is better than the batting small part. When the batting order bell having a high winning probability is won, since the correct batting order notification and the prize assisting effect are performed, it is possible to wait for the start of the AT state while being able to acquire the medal.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the won bonus can not be displayed on the activated line. The rotating reel is stopped so that there is a case where the symbol combination indicating the eyes is displayed on the effective line and the case where the symbol combination indicating the dropped eye is displayed on the effective line. That is, in the present embodiment, in addition to the winning combination of the winning combination, the symbol combination indicating the chance is displayed on the effective line also when the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won. In order to be displayed, if the symbol combination indicating the chance is displayed on the activated line, whether the result of the internal lottery is winning of the batting order small part whether the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) The player can not know whether or not the player is elected. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the AT combination is displayed on the effective line when the symbol combination indicating a chance is displayed in a state in which the RT state is in the RT1 state or the RT2 state in the normal section after the BB1 state ends. Although it is likely that the favorable situation to obtain the right to transition to the state has ended, the possibility of winning the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) causes the first big bonus (the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) to be won. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for winning BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2), and to improve the game characteristics of the chance zone where the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained. In the present embodiment, when the RT state is the RT1 state or the RT2 state in the normal section, the effect control means 180 notifies (or suggests) that it is a chance zone where the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained. Right to transition to the AT state whether the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) is won when the effect is executed on the effect device and the symbol combination indicating the chance is displayed on the effective line The effect device may be made to execute an effect to notify the player corresponding to the chance zone that can obtain the end of the advantageous situation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the second big bonus (BB2) is won in the normal section, it is always won by the AT lottery, and the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained. The degree of advantage associated with the assist time game can be changed between when the bonus (BB1) is won and when the second big bonus (BB2) is won, so as to improve the interest of the game in the normal section Can. Further, when the BB2 state is ended, the RT state is shifted to the RT4 state, so that the assist time game in the AT state can be started promptly without passing through the AT preparation state, and the interest of the game is improved. be able to.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, when the single bonus (SB) is won, the RT state is shifted to the non-RT state, and from the non-RT state it is possible to shift to the RT3 state. Since the appearance rate of the symbol combination which is a chance to shift to the RT3 state is low in the form of 1, the stay period of the non-RT state is prolonged once it shifts to the non-RT state, and the winning probability of replay is RT2 state or RT4. It will be played in a situation lower than the state. And in this embodiment, since it is not possible to shift from the non-RT state to the RT1 state or RT2 state where the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained, the case of playing a game to win a single bonus (SB) and the single In the case of playing a game to avoid winning a bonus (SB), a difference can be made in the payout rate, and a game that avoids winning a single bonus (SB) to avoid transition to a non-RT state It is possible to provide a game with an increased level of technical intervention by the person.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the ones described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made. The modifications will be introduced below. The above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modifications may be combined as appropriate as methods for implementing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, although the case where the RT state is shifted to the RT1 state when the BB1 state is ended has been described as an example, the RT state is shifted in the BB1 state and stays in the RT1 state when the BB1 state ends. There may be a case where there is a case and a case where the user stays in the RT3 state. Specifically, the first regular bonus (RB1) and the second regular bonus (RB2) are prepared as the bonus drawn in the BB1 state, and in the BB1 state, as shown in FIG. Make a state transition between RB1 operating RB not established, RB1 activated RB1 established, RB2 established, RB2 activated RB not established, and RB2 activated RB2 established, and the first big bonus (BB1) When it is won, it starts from the bonus general state. Then, based on the fact that the first regular bonus (RB1) is won in the bonus general state, it shifts to the RB1 established state, and based on the winning of the first regular bonus (RB1) in the RB1 established state, the RB1 is not established. The state is transferred to RB1, and based on the fact that the first regular bonus (RB1) is won in the RB1 not established state, the state is transitioned to the RB1 established state, and the RB1 activated RB not established state and RB1 activated RB1 established. When the condition to end the RB1 operation state configured by the condition is satisfied, if the RB1 is in the RB non-establishment state, transition to the bonus general state is made, and the RB1 is in the RB1 establishment state. In this case, the state transitions to the RB1 established state. In addition, based on the second regular bonus (RB2) being won in the bonus general state, it shifts to the RB2 established state, and based on the second regular bonus (RB2) winning in the RB2 established state, the RB2 not established RB2 not established The state is transferred to RB2, and the second regular bonus (RB2) is won in the RB2 non-established state, and the RB2 is transitioned to the RB2 established state on the basis of being won, and the RB2 is not established and the RB2 is established. When the condition to end the RB2 operation state configured by the condition is satisfied, if the RB2 is in the RB non-establishment state, transition to the bonus general state is made, and the RB2 is in the RB2 establishment state. In this case, the state transitions to the RB2 established state.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23, when the RT state is the RT1 state in the bonus general state, the first regular bonus (RB1) and the second regular bonus (RB2) are set as lottery targets, and the lottery mode of replay is normally The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 8 set in the same manner as the internal lottery table 2 to be referred to in the RT1 state in the state, and in the RB1 establishment state, the bonus is excluded from the lottery targets and the replay lottery The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 9 set in the same manner as the internal lottery table 2. In the RB non-established state with RB1 in operation, the first regular bonus (RB1) is set as the lottery target and the replay is performed An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 10 in which the lottery mode is set identical to the internal lottery table 2, and R The RB1 established state in one operation, the bonus is excluded from the drawing target, it performs an internal lottery drawing aspects of replay by referring to the internal lottery table 11 is set to be the same as the internal lottery table 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 24, when the RT state is the RT3 state in the bonus general state, the first regular bonus (RB1) and the second regular bonus (RB2) are set as lottery targets, and the lottery mode of replay is usually The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 12 set in the same manner as the internal lottery table 4 to be referred to in the state of RT3 in the state, and in the RB2 establishment state, the bonus is excluded from the lottery targets and the replay lottery The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 13 set in the same manner as the internal lottery table 4, and the second regular bonus (RB2) is set as the lottery target in the RB non-established state with the RB2 in operation. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 14 in which the lottery mode is set to be the same as the internal lottery table 2. The RB2 established state in B2 operation, the bonus is excluded from the drawing target, the lottery mode replay performs internal lottery by referring to internal lottery table 15 is set to be the same as the internal lottery table 2.

  Then, when the first regular bonus (RB1) and the small part included in the JAC have been won, the RB1 is in operation by stopping the rotating reel so as to always avoid winning the first regular bonus (RB1). If the first regular bonus (RB1) is won in the RB non-established state, the winning state of the first regular bonus (RB1) is carried over until the winning of the first regular bonus (RB1) is always avoided and the RB1 returns to the established state. When the state returns to the RB1 establishment state, the first regular bonus (RB1) can be won, and the state shifts to the RB non-established state in the RB1 operation with the first regular bonus (RB1). Similarly, once the second regular bonus (RB2) and the small part included in the JAC have been won, RB2 is activated once by stopping the rotating reel so as to always avoid winning in the second regular bonus (RB2). If the second regular bonus (RB2) is won in the middle RB non-established state, the winning state of the second regular bonus (RB2) is carried over until the winning of the second regular bonus (RB2) is always avoided and the state returns to RB2 established. When the state returns to RB2 establishment state, the second regular bonus (RB2) can be won, and with the second regular bonus (RB2) winning, the state shifts to RB non-established state again during RB2.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, when the first big bonus (BB1) wins, the RT state is shifted to the RT1 state, and in the BB1 state, the RT state is shifted between the RT1 state and the RB3 state. [2] Move the RT state to the RT3 state when the regular bonus (RB2) is won, and shift the RT state to the RT1 state when the first regular bonus (RB1) is won in the RT3 state, depending on the end of the BB1 state. Do not change RT conditions. In addition, when medals exceeding the predetermined number of predetermined payouts (for example, 210 pieces) are paid out in the BB1 state, the BB1 state is ended. In this way, since the RT state at the end of the BB1 state is taken over also in the normal state after returning from the BB1 state, the RT stays after the end of the BB1 state depending on the type of regular bonus (RB) won in the BB1 state. It becomes possible to change the state. And when staying in the RT3 state after ending the BB1 state, it is not possible to play a game in an advantageous situation where the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained, while when staying in the RT1 state after ending the BB1 state Since it becomes possible to play the game in an advantageous situation where the right to transition to the state can be obtained, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In this example, if any of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3 and batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 is won in the BB1 state, replay 1 is rotating so that replay 1 wins regardless of the stop operation mode. The reels of may be stopped. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the RT state staying by the type of replay to be won.

  In the above embodiment, although the case where the RT state is shifted to the RT1 state when the BB1 state ends is described as an example, the RT state is shifted to the RT2 state (specific RT state) when the BB1 state ends. You may do so. In this case, the RT1 state may not be provided as the RT state.

  In the above embodiment, the RT2 state is ended when the symbol combination indicating the chance in the RT2 state is displayed on the effective line, but the predetermined number of times (for example, the RT2 state) If the game is played 30 times, the RT2 state is ended and the RT state is shifted to the non-RT state, and the RT2 state is ended even if the symbol combination indicating the chances is displayed on the effective line in the RT2 state. The RT2 state may be continued without being caused. Even in this manner, it is possible to sufficiently secure the period of stay in an advantageous situation for the player corresponding to the chance zone where the right to shift to the AT state can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, although the transition from the RT1 state or the RT2 state to the RT3 state is possible but the transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state or the RT2 state can not be made directly, it has been described as an example A transition to the RT1 or RT2 state may be possible. For example, by drawing a batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A3 in the RT3 state, it is possible to shift from the RT3 state to the RT2 state with the winning of the replay 2. In this way, even if the RT state transitions to the RT3 state in the normal section, it corresponds to a chance zone in which the right to transition to the AT state can be obtained by transitioning from the RT3 state to the RT1 state or RT2 state. It becomes possible to play the game in a situation advantageous to the player.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the first big bonus (BB1) and the second big bonus (BB2) are independently won is described as an example, but the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) There may be provided a winning mode in which the player wins in duplicate with any of the batting small part. That is, in this example, it is possible to provide a winning mode in which the batting small part wins in duplicate with the first big bonus (BB1) or the second big bonus (BB2) and a winning aspect in which only the batting small part is won.

  In the above embodiment, the symbol combination indicating a chance at the time of winning the winning combination is displayed on the activated line as an example, but the specific winning mode in which the specific small winning combination is won is obtained by the internal lottery In the case where the stop operation is performed at a specific pressing timing (specific operation mode), the specific small winning combination is won, and it is stopped at a timing different from the specific pressing timing (operation mode different from the specific operation mode) When the operation is performed, a symbol combination showing a chance is displayed on the active line without winning any of the winnings and a symbol combination showing a missed eye without winning for any of the winnings is an effective line It is also possible to stop the rotating reel so that there is a case where it is displayed above.

  In the above embodiment, the symbol combination indicating the chance may be displayed on the effective line when the winning combination is won, but the symbol combination indicating the chance is not displayed on the effective line when the winning bell is won. As described above, for example, symbol combinations indicating chances may be displayed on the effective line when the batting bell is won in the non-RT state, but show chances when the batting bell is won in other RT states other than the non-RT state. The symbol combination may not be displayed on the effective line. Specifically, when the batting bell is won in the non-RT state, in the incorrect answering order, the second of the two types of symbols constituting the winning pattern of one small part is performed similarly to the winning of the batting small part. By giving priority to the first symbol over the symbol, a chance is shown when the first symbol is displayed to be displayed on the effective line for the reel to be stopped first among the second reel R2 and the third reel R3. The symbol combination may be displayed on the effective line. In this way, the non-RT stay can be shortened.

  In the above embodiment, the second big bonus (BB2) is provided as a bonus having no difference in setting. However, the second big bonus (BB2) may not be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the end of the AT state is managed by the number of games, but the end of the AT state may be managed by the number of sets and the number of times of the game. In this example, an AT set number counter for managing the set number of AT states is provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a, and when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the value of the AT set number counter is set to a predetermined value. Set the value of AT game number counter 1919 to a value (for example, "30") corresponding to the number of games played (for example, 30 times), and in the AT state, the value of AT game number counter 1919 is initial When the value "0" is reached, decrement update is performed by subtracting a fixed value "1" corresponding to one set of assist time games from the value of the AT set number counter, and the value of the AT set number counter is the initial value "0". If the value of AT game number counter 1919 is reset to a value (for example, "30") corresponding to the number of times of game play (for example, 30 times) The T-state is further 1 set continued, if the value of the AT set number counter reaches the initial value "0", it is determined that the termination conditions of the AT condition is satisfied, setting the performance state to 1 Navi waiting state.

  In this example, when the AT lottery is triggered by the chance replay, cherry replay, or single bonus (SB) winning in the normal section, the value of the AT set number counter corresponds to a specific value (for example, one set). If the right to shift to AT state is generated by performing processing to set to the value “1”), and the value of the AT set number counter is a specific value (for example, “1”) in the first game of the advantageous segment Determine whether the RT state is the RT1 state or the RT2 state, and based on the RT state being the RT1 state or the RT2 state, set the value of the AT set number counter to the initial set number of assist time games (for example, Rewriting to a value (for example, “2”) corresponding to 2) (or a predetermined number of sets (for example, once) in the AT set number counter) The right to shift to the AT state is determined by performing (adding) the corresponding value (for example, “1”), while the value of the AT set number counter is specified in the first game of the advantageous section Even if it is a value (for example, "1"), when the RT state does not satisfy the conditions of the RT1 state or the RT2 state, the process of rewriting the value of the AT set number counter is not performed, and the rendering state is AT ready state In principle, the advantageous section may be ended without performing the assist time game by shifting from the state 1 to the state 1 waiting for navigation. Note that, in this example, when winning the AT lottery triggered by the winning of the second big bonus (BB2), the value of the AT set number counter corresponds to the initial set number (for example, twice) of the assist time game. By setting the value (for example, “2”), the right to shift to the AT state is determined. Even with this configuration, the same function and effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the payouts of the small winning combination 9, the small winning combination 10, and the small winning combination 11 included in the batting bell are the same as the payouts of the small winning combination 12, the small winning combination 13, and the small winning combination 14 included in the batting minor combination. The case where it was set to the case was described as an example, but the small part 12, the small part 10, and the small part 11 included in the batting bell, the small part 12, the small part 13, and the small part included in the batting small part It may be higher or lower than the 14 payouts.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when in the RT1 state, the winning mode of the replay in which the replay 2 wins regardless of the mode of the stop operation may be provided as the lottery object in the RT1 state.
