The embodiment described below is merely an example of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  In the slot machine 1 described below, unlike a general slot machine, a hopper unit is not provided. However, even if the present invention is applied to a slot machine provided with a hopper unit, the operational effects of the present invention can be exhibited without problems.

<Description of slot machine housing>
FIG. 1 is a view showing a housing 10 of the slot machine 1. A front door 100 is provided on the front surface of the housing 10.

  The front door 100 includes a light-transmitting reel window 200 at the center thereof. The player can visually recognize a plurality of symbols displayed on the surface of each rotary reel 20 described later from the reel window 200.

  Above the reel window 200, a liquid crystal screen 3 for performing various effects during the game, an electrical decoration (not shown), and a speaker (not shown) are provided.

  The liquid crystal screen 3 as a display unit displays various effect videos (effect screens) during the game.

  The illumination part is turned on or off in a predetermined pattern when a predetermined condition (for example, when an effect screen with high expectation is displayed or when a specific winning combination is won) is satisfied.

  The speaker outputs predetermined BGM (background music) and SE (sound effect).

  An operation unit 4 is provided below the reel window 200. The operation unit 4 includes a stop switch 40, a settlement switch 41, a bet switch 42, a lever 43, a medium display unit 44, and the like.

  Each stop switch 40 is provided corresponding to each rotary reel 20, and is used when the player stops each rotary reel 20 being rotated.

  The settlement switch 41 is used when transmitting the credit number (stored number) of medals in the slot machine 1 to the CR unit 7 when the player finishes the game.

  The bet switch 42 is used when the player bets medals.

  The lever 43 functions as a start switch that rotates each rotary reel 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the medium display unit 44 displays the number of credits for medals, the number of paid-out medals, the number of bets, and the like. The medium display unit 44 displays the number of credits and the like based on information from a medium management unit 614 and the like which will be described later.

  Each switch of these operation units 4 outputs an operation signal based on the player's operation.

  In addition to these, as shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 1 includes a rotating reel unit 2 and a control unit 6. The rotary reel unit 2 and the control unit 6 are disposed inside the housing 10 together with a power supply device (not shown) for turning on / off the main power supply of the slot machine 1.

  The rotary reel unit 2 includes three rotary reels 20 having an arrangement of symbols as shown in FIG. 5, and three stepping motors 21 that drive these rotary reels 20, respectively. The rotary reel unit 2 is disposed near the center inside the housing 10.

  The stepping motor 21 in the present embodiment stops the rotation of the rotary reel 20 within 190 milliseconds after the stop switch 40 is operated. Further, the stepping motor 21 rotates once in 504 steps. Thereby, the rotary reel 20 rotates at a speed of 80 rotations / minute. That is, the step to be advanced within 190 milliseconds is 127 steps.

  The rotation and stop of the rotary reel 20 and the stepping motor 21 are controlled by a rotation start control unit 611 and a rotation stop control unit 612 described later.

<Description of game flow>
The player first bets medals on the slot machine 1 using medals charged from the CR unit 7 or using medals credited (stored) by operating the bet switch 42. . When a predetermined number of medals are bet on the slot machine 1, the effective line L is activated. Thereafter, the lever 43 can be operated, that is, the game can be started.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the effective line L of the present embodiment is composed of a single right-down line. In the present embodiment, when a player places three bets (three bets) that become MAX BETs (maximum bets), one line (lower right line) is activated and becomes an effective line L.

  In the following description, not only when a winning combination of medals such as bells and watermelons is won, but also when the symbols corresponding to replay and RT transition lip are aligned on the active line L is expressed as winning.

  One game (one game) in the present embodiment refers to a series of operations in which a player operates the bet switch 42, the lever 43, and the stop switch 40 to obtain a game result (including medal payout processing). .

  Specifically, when the lever 43 is operated (lever on) in a state where a game can be started, an internal lottery for determining a winning flag is performed and the rotation of each rotary reel 20 is started. In this state, when any of the stop switches 40 is operated, the rotary reel 20 corresponding to the operated stop switch 40 is stopped. A predetermined number of medals are paid out in accordance with the combination of symbols aligned (winned) on the effective line L when all the rotating reels 20 are stopped. Thereby, one game is completed.

<Explanation of RT state>
As shown in FIG. 6, the slot machine 1 includes RT0 to RT4 as RT states.

  RT0 is an RT state in which, when the RAM provided in the control unit 6 is cleared, after the RT0 transition lip is won at RT2, which will be described later, or after a prescribed number of medals are paid out in one type BB. is there. The replay probability of RT0 is 1 / 7.3.

  In the present specification, this replay probability is a replaying player combined winning probability including all replaying players such as RT transition lip in addition to replay. If a player is won again in the previous game, the player can play the next game without betting medals.

  RT1 is an RT state that shifts when the RT1 transition lip flag is established and the RT1 transition lip is won when the RT state is RT0. The replay probability of RT1 is 1 / 7.3.

  RT2 is an RT state that shifts when the RT2 transition lip flag is established and the RT2 transition lip wins when the RT state is RT1. The replay probability of RT2 is 1 / 1.4. When the RT state is RT2, if the RT0 transition lip is established by the internal lottery and the RT0 transition lip is won, the RT state transitions from RT2 to RT0.

  The RT0 to RT2 transition lip is an example of a transition combination that enables a transition of the gaming state by setting a winning combination flag as a winning flag and winning.

  RT3 is an RT state that is shifted to when a combination of a flag “1 type BB” to be described later is established and the 1 type BB has not won a prize when the RT state is RT0 to RT2. That is, RT3 is an RT state inside the type 1 BB. The replay probability of RT3 in the type 1 BB is 1 / 7.3.

  RT4 is an RT state that is shifted to when the type 1 BB wins when the RT state is RT3. That is, RT4 is an RT state in 1 type BB. The replay probability of RT4 in type 1 BB is zero. In the present embodiment, the first type BB is awarded when the reds 7 are aligned on the active line L.

  Switching between these RT0 to RT4 is performed by an RT state control unit 617 described later.

<Description of ART>
In the following description, the general game state is a special game state such as 1 type BB (a continuous action device for a first type special object), ART (assist replay time), and CZ (chance zone). A game state that is neither.

  ART is one special gaming state that is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the general gaming state.

  For example, after winning an ART lottery when a predetermined combination is won by an internal lottery, once the gaming state shifts to ART, the game period during which ART can be played (the number of remaining games in the ART) is 0 (zero) Until the end of ART, an assist for notifying the push order for winning the push order when a push order flag described later is established is executed. In this assist, a push order for winning a specific push order among a plurality of push orders defined for each push order in one push order flag is notified.

  Further, one set of ART in the present embodiment is composed of 50 games, and whether or not the next set is continued during the set of the ART is continuously drawn.

  Further, in ART, an assist is performed so that the game proceeds in RT2, which is an RT state in which replay is won with high probability by internal lottery.

  Specifically, when the RT state is other than RT2, the assist is performed so that the RT state becomes RT2. For example, even if the RT state falls to RT0 during ART, the assisting for winning the bell spilled eyes is made and the bell spilled eyes wins, so that the RT state shifts to RT1. Furthermore, the RT state shifts to RT2 when the RT2 shift lip is assisted and the RT2 shift lip wins.

  On the other hand, when the RT state is RT2, the assist is performed so that the RT state is maintained at RT2.

  Thus, ART is a gaming state that is executed mainly when the RT state is RT2, but even when the RT state is other than RT2, the gaming state in the following cases is ART.

  Specifically, after the gaming state control unit 618 determines to shift the gaming state to ART, when the RT state is not yet RT2, the so-called ART ready state (for example, when the RT state is RT1) In the case of the state before the RT2 transition lip is won, the gaming state is ART.

  Also, when the ART is in the RT state and the RT state is RT2, the combination flag “RT0 transition lip” is established, and the player presses the stop switch 40 in the pressing order different from the assist notified to win the normal lip. Even when the RT0 transition replay is won by pressing and the RT state shifts to RT0 (when it falls), the gaming state is ART.

  Further, the game state is also ART in the additional specialization zone that is executed to add the number of additional games for continuing the ART in units of the number of games after the end of one set of ART.

  As described above, ART is a gaming state that continues until an after-mentioned ART transition signal is generated until a general gaming state transition signal is generated.

  As described above, ART is executed mainly at RT2, but there may be RT2 that is not in ART. Specifically, for example, the RT state shifts from RT1 to RT2 when the RT2 transfer lip wins during RT1 for which the shift to ART has not been determined.

<Description of Control Unit 6>
As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 6 mainly includes a main control unit 61, a sub control unit 62, and a payout control unit 63. The main control unit 61, the sub control unit 62, and the payout control unit 63 are each a CPU (Central Processing Unit) used for calculation, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) that stores programs or data necessary for game progress and the like. And a storage unit (not shown) including a ROM (Read Only Memory).

  In this embodiment, data is transmitted and received between the main control unit 61 and the payout control unit 63 and between the sub control unit 62 and the payout control unit 63. Data is not transmitted to or received from the unit 62. That is, data is transmitted only from the main control unit 61 to the sub control unit 62, and is not transmitted from the sub control unit 62 to the main control unit 61.

<Description of Main Control Unit 61>
The main control unit 61 performs control for advancing the game, such as internal lottery and control of the rotating reel 20. The main control unit 61 controls the stepping motor 21 and controls the start or stop of rotation of the rotary reel 20 based on the player's operations on the bet switch 42, the lever 43, and the stop switch 40.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 61 includes an internal lottery unit 610, a rotation start control unit 611, a rotation stop control unit 612, a game result determination unit 613, a medium management unit 614, a set value control unit 615, a section control unit 616, An RT state control unit 617 and a game state control unit 618 are provided.

<Description of internal lottery section 610>
The internal lottery unit 610 performs an internal lottery based on a random number acquired when the operation signal of the lever 43 is output and the internal lottery table T1 provided in the internal lottery unit 610. In response to the result of the internal lottery, an internal lottery result signal is generated.

  The internal lottery result signal is transmitted from the internal lottery unit 610 to the rotation start control unit 611, the rotation stop control unit 612, the gaming state control unit 618, the sub control unit 62 including the effect control unit 620, and the like.

  The operation signal of the bet switch 42 is output when a predetermined number of medals have been credited and the bet switch 42 is operated during the bet acceptance period (when the bet switch 42 is turned on). .

  It is determined for each game whether or not an operation signal for each switch has been output. In the present embodiment, an operation on each switch means an operation in which an operation signal of each switch is output.

  The internal lottery table T1 includes information on winning combinations that may be won in each RT state as shown in FIG. 7, and information on winning combinations (possible winning combinations) corresponding to the combination of flags and pressing order as shown in FIG. including. Although not shown, the internal lottery table T1 includes a plurality of areas in which a combination corresponding to a random number acquired when the lever 43 is operated is stored.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery table T1 will be described in detail.

  The internal lottery table T1 includes information on a winning combination that may be won (information on a flag of a winning combination that may be established). In the internal lottery table T1, for each RT state, a “O” column is a flag for a combination that may be established, and a blank column is a combination flag that is not likely to be established.

  For example, it can be seen from the “pure loss” column in FIG. 7 that the combination flag “pure loss” may be satisfied in RT0, RT1, and RT3, but not in RT2 and RT4. Note that the net loss is a state in which all the roles are not won.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the combination flags stored in the internal lottery table T <b> 1 include a push order combination flag that is awarded when the stop switch 40 is operated in a predetermined order, and a push order that can be won regardless of the push order. An unquestionable role flag is included.

  In the present embodiment, the push order combination flag is a combination of the replies 1 to 6 for RT0 to RT2 and the combination of push order bells 1 to 12.

  A small role is a combination of symbols in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out when winning a prize. Replay, RT transition lip, and the like are re-playing combinations that are combinations of symbols that enable the next game without betting medals when winning.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8, the information on the combination stored in the internal lottery table T1 includes information on one or more winning combinations set for each combination flag. For example, the information on the push order that is a winning combination when the stop switch 40 is operated in a predetermined order includes information on the set push order and the push order of the corresponding stop switch 40. Contains information.

  In FIG. 8, the pressing order of the stop switch 40 that allows the pressing order to be awarded is indicated by three characters at the top of the table. For example, “left middle right” indicates that the stop switch 40 is operated in the order of the left stop switch 40a, the middle stop switch 40b, and the right stop switch 40c.

  The pushing order of the pushing order combination is assisted when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the gaming state becomes ART). Hereinafter, the function of assisting the push order so that the push order wins is called an instruction function.

  In the present embodiment, all winning combinations set in the combination flag are won simultaneously. For example, when the winning flag “RT1 transition lip 1” is established as a result of the internal lottery (the winning flag is “RT1 transition lip 1”), the RT1 transition lip and the normal lip that are the winning combinations are simultaneously won. . In this case, the RT1 transition lip is awarded only when the player presses the stop switch 40 in the push order (left middle right) for winning the RT1 transition lip.

  The combination flag “push order bells 1 to 6” is composed of a middle bell from which nine medals are paid out according to the push order of one stop switch 40, and a bell spilled eye from which one medal is paid out.

  The combination flag “push order bells 7 to 12” is composed of a middle bell from which nine medals are paid out according to the push order of the five stop switches 40, and a bell spilling eye from which one medal is paid out. The

  The combination flag “1 type BB” is established only at RT0 to RT2. In addition, this type 1 BB may win during ART.

  The cherry, watermelon, chance chance, and type 1 BB are winning combinations that may or may not win depending on the order and timing of pressing the stop switch 40 by the player.

  Further, the combination flag “all combinations” is established only at RT4. Note that, as shown in FIG. 8, the winning combination is a winning combination that wins regardless of the pressing order and pressing timing of the stop switch 40 by the player. When all the winning combinations win, for example, bells are aligned on the upper stage of the left rotating reel 20a, the middle stage of the middle rotating reel 20b, and the upper stage of the right rotating reel 20c.

  In the present embodiment, the winning flags “push order bells 1 to 12”, “common bell”, “cherry”, and “watermelon” are the acquisition flags. In addition, the middle bell, bell spilled eyes, right-down bell, cherry, and watermelon, which constitute these acquisition flags, are the winning combinations.

<Description of Rotation Start Control Unit 611>
The rotation start control unit 611 controls the stepping motor 21 based on the operation signal of the lever 43 to rotate the rotating reel 20. The rotation start control unit 611 controls the stepping motor 21 so that the rotating reel 20 rotates at a speed of, for example, 80 rotations / minute.

  In addition, the rotation start control unit 611 is based on the operation of the lever 43 by the player when a certain time (a so-called wait time of 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the rotation start of the rotation reel 20 in the previous game. The rotation of the rotary reel 20 is started.

<Description of rotation stop control unit 612>
The rotation stop control unit 612 includes a rotation reel detection unit 612a, a symbol determination unit 612b, a push order determination unit 612c, and a symbol table T2. The rotation stop control unit 612 controls the stepping motor 21 based on the internal lottery result signal output from the internal lottery unit 610, the operation signal of the stop switch 40 by the player, and the symbol table T2. Thereby, after the player operates the stop switch 40, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 20 is stopped within 190 milliseconds.

  The rotating reel detection unit 612a detects the position of the rotating reel 20 that is rotating. Specifically, the rotary reel detection unit 612a detects passage of a reference point (not shown) of each rotary reel 20 after the rotation of the rotary reel 20 is started. When the passage of the reference point of each rotating reel 20 is detected, the rotating reel detection unit 612a outputs a detection signal indicating that the reference point of each rotating reel 20 has passed. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the middle line of all the rotary reels 20 is a detection position that is an absolute position of the slot machine 1.

  The detection signal is detected every time the reference point of each rotary reel 20 passes this detection position. Each time the rotating reel detection unit 612a receives a detection signal indicating that the reference point of the rotating reel 20 has passed through the middle stage line (each time the rotating reel 20 makes one rotation), the measured value of the step of each stepping motor 21 Is initialized (cleared to zero), and the step is measured again from 0 (zero). Thereby, the rotating reel detection unit 612a measures the step.

  Further, the rotating reel detection unit 612a detects the step of the reference point of each rotating reel 20 from the detection position that is an absolute position in the slot machine 1 based on the measured step. The position of the rotating reel 20 is detected from the detected reference point step. The detected position of the rotating reel 20 is output as a rotating reel position detection signal by the rotating reel detector 612a. The output rotation reel position detection signal is transmitted from the rotation reel detection unit 612a to the rotation stop control unit 612 and the like.

  Further, the rotating reel detection unit 612a outputs, as a stop signal, information on the position of the rotating reel 20 when the player operates the stop switch 40 and information on the position of the rotating reel 20 when the rotating reel 20 stops. To do. The output stop signal is transmitted from the rotating reel detection unit 612a to the symbol determination unit 612b and the like.

  The symbol determining unit 612b determines a symbol on the effective line L when all the rotating reels 20 are stopped based on the stop signal output from the rotating reel detecting unit 612a and the symbol table T2. Thereby, the symbol on the effective line L of each rotary reel 20 is determined. This determination result is transmitted as a symbol determination signal from the symbol determination unit 612b to the game result determination unit 613 and the like.

  The push order determination unit 612c determines at which timing the stop switch 40 of the three stop switches 40 is operated by the player. This determination result is transmitted as a push order determination signal from the push order determination unit 612c to the game result determination unit 613 and the like.

  Unlike the above, the push order determination signal may be information relating to six push orders, or information relating to the step of the corresponding stepping motor 21 when the player operates the stop switch 40. May be.

  The symbol table T2 also includes information on the stop position of the rotary reel 20 determined according to the winning flag and the symbol on the effective line L when the operation signal of the stop switch 40 is output.

  This information includes rotation after the stop switch 40 is operated according to the pressing order of the stop switch 40, the winning combination corresponding to the winning flag, and the position of the rotary reel 20 when the stop switch 40 is operated. Information on the steps until the reel 20 stops (the number of sliding symbols of the symbol) is included.

  The rotation stop control unit 612 rotates the rotary reel 20 based on the internal lottery result signal output from the internal lottery unit 610, the rotary reel position detection signal output from the rotary reel detection unit 612a, and the symbol table T2. Perform stop control.

  For example, the rotation stop control unit 612 performs the pull-in control of the rotary reel 20 so that the symbols corresponding to the winning combination are aligned on the effective line L, and the symbols corresponding to the non-winning combination are not aligned on the effective line L. Thus, the kicking control of the rotary reel 20 is performed.

<Description of Game Result Determination Unit 613>
The game result determination unit 613 determines a game result based on the internal lottery result signal output from the internal lottery unit 610 and the symbol determination signal output from the symbol determination unit 612b. The result of the game is determined based on whether or not the winning combination is won based on the symbols arranged on the active line L.

  Specifically, when the combination of symbols stopped on the active line L matches a predetermined combination of symbols, it is determined that the winning combination has won. This determination result is transmitted as a game result determination signal from the game result determination unit 613 to the medium management unit 614, the sub control unit 62, and the like.

<Description of Media Management Unit 614>
The medium management unit 614 manages information relating to the number of medals, such as the number of medal credits and the number of medals paid out in the slot machine 1.

  Specifically, when the medal is charged from the CR unit 7 based on the player's operation (when a medal charge signal is received), the medium management unit 614 calculates the credit number based on the information. increase.

  Further, when a medal is bet, the medium management unit 614 decreases the number of credits according to the number of bets placed on the bet.

  The number of credits is managed as a credit number signal by the medium management unit 614, and the upper limit is 50 sheets. The credit number signal is transmitted from the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63.

  Further, the medium management unit 614 increases the number of credits according to the type of the winning symbol combination when the winning flag is established as a winning flag by the internal lottery and the winning symbol combination constituting the acquisition flag wins. For example, if the middle bell wins, the number of credits increases by nine, and if the common bell wins, the number of credits increases by twelve.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example in which an winning winning combination with nine medals to be paid out wins when the number of credits is twelve. As shown in the figure, the medium management unit 614 shows that the number of credits (CREDIT) and the number of payout medals (PAY) increase one by one as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the display unit 44. In this case, the number of credits is finally 21 and the number of medals to be paid out is 9.

  Further, when a medal is paid out exceeding the upper limit of the number of credits, the medium management unit 614 generates an over credit number signal based on the number of medals (over credit number) acquired exceeding the upper limit. . This over credit number signal is transmitted from the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63.

  In addition, the medium management unit 614 determines the settlement signal based on the credit number signal when the number of credits is one or more (when there are one or more stored medals) and the settlement switch 41 is operated. Is generated. This settlement signal is transmitted from the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63.

  The medium management unit 614 also displays an increase in the number of credits and a medal when the winning flag is established as a winning flag by an internal lottery and the winning winning combination is won based on the player's operation. If a predetermined operation is performed by the player before the display of the payout number is completed, the medium display unit 44 is caused to skip the display of the increase in the number of credits and the display of the payout number of medals. In the present embodiment, the predetermined operation is that the bet switch 42 is operated.

  FIG. 3 is also a diagram showing an example where the winning winning combination of 9 payouts is won when the number of credits is 12. However, unlike the example of FIG. 2, in the example of FIG. 3, the player operates the bet switch 42 when the number of credits is 13. Therefore, the display of the increase in the number of credits and the display of the number of paid out medals after the player operates the bet switch 42 are skipped, and the number of credits is immediately 21 and the number of paid out medals is 9.

<Description of Set Value Control Unit 615>
The set value control unit 615 sets one set value among a plurality of types of set values based on the operation of the store operator, and proceeds the game with the set value. This set value is set for each slot machine 1.

  Information on the set value set by the set value control unit 615 is transmitted to the internal lottery unit 610 and the like. In this embodiment, the replay winning probability, the common bell winning probability, and the one-type BB winning probability differ depending on which set value is used.

<Description of Section Control Unit 616>
The section control unit 616 executes game progress in any one of the game sections including the following advantageous sections and the normal section.

  The advantageous section includes at least a section in which a gaming state control unit 618 described later shifts the gaming state to a special gaming state such as ART, and a gaming state control that does not shift to a special gaming state such as ART. The section 618 includes a section in which a state transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift the gaming state to the special gaming state can be performed. Thus, the advantageous section is a completely different concept from the special game state such as the conventional ART.

  This advantageous section is a gaming section including a section in which the gaming state control unit 618 can shift the gaming state to the special gaming state as described above, but more specifically, the processing related to the instruction function and the lottery are performed. This is a section where

  The process and lottery related to the instruction function include, for example, a process for performing the instruction function (assist), a CZ lottery process, a CZ process, an AT lottery process (including a process related to AT continuation), an AT process, and an ART lottery process. (Including processing related to continuation of ART), ART processing, and game state change based on a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is, for example, a case where the number of continuing games or the medal difference number reaches a specified value.

  Further, the section control unit 616 counts the number of continued games in the advantageous section while the game section is the advantageous section. In addition, the section control unit 616 has an advantageous section even when the gaming state is an advantageous section and the gaming state shifts from the ART in the first special gaming state to the type 1 BB in the second special gaming state. Count the number of continued games.

  As described above, the section control unit 616 performs the section transition lottery even when the type 1 BB is won during the normal section. In this case, even if the section control unit 616 decides to shift the game section from the normal section to the advantageous section, the gaming section does not transition to the advantageous section within the type 1 BB. Transition to the waiting section. During this waiting section, the section control unit 616 does not count the number of continued games in the advantageous section. Also, predetermined processing is not performed inside the type 1 BB. And when a game state transfers to 1 type BB, a game area transfers from a standby area to an advantageous area.

  The section control unit 616 forcibly shifts the advantageous section to the normal section when the number of continued games in the advantageous section reaches 1500 games, or when the medal difference number exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 2400).

  In addition to the forced transition as described above, the section control unit 616 can shift the advantageous section to the normal section at an arbitrary timing. For example, a condition for ending an advantageous section is that at least one assist for winning a pushing order that maximizes the number of medals to be paid out of all the pushing orders is performed during the advantageous section. Can do. In addition, for example, when the number of ART games has been exhausted or when the ART has not been continuously drawn, the section control unit 616 can end the advantageous section.

  The normal section is a section in which the gaming state control unit 618 cannot shift the gaming state to the special gaming state and can only execute the transition process to the advantageous section.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the section control unit 616 performs section transition lottery when the game section is a normal section. That is, the section control unit 616 determines whether to keep the normal section or shift to the advantageous section based on the winning flag. In the present embodiment, the section transition lottery is performed only when the rare combination is won by the internal lottery.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when a cherry is won when the game section is a normal section, the probability that the game section remains the normal section is 50%, and the probability that the game section is shifted to the advantageous section is 50%. is there. When a watermelon is won, the probability that the game section remains the normal section is 70%, and the probability that the game section shifts to the advantageous section is 30%.

  Also, when a chance is won, an advantageous section is always selected. In addition, when the type 1 BB is won, the probability that the game section remains the normal section is 50%, and the probability that the game section shifts to the advantageous section is 50%. In addition, when a combination other than cherry, watermelon, chance, and type 1 BB (hereinafter referred to as “other combination”) is won, the normal section is always selected.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the section control unit 616 performs the mode lottery based on the winning flag when the game section shifts from the normal section to the advantageous section.

  When a cherry hits and the game section shifts from a normal section to an advantageous section, the probability that mode A is selected is 90%, the probability that mode B is selected is 9%, and the probability that mode C is selected is 1%. On the other hand, when a watermelon is won, the probability of selecting mode A is 70%, the probability of selecting mode B is 25%, and the probability of selecting mode C is 5%.

  When the chance is won, the probability that the mode A is selected is 0%, the probability that the mode B is selected is 80%, and the probability that the mode C is selected is 20%. Further, when one type BB is won, the probability that the mode A is selected is 50%, the probability that the mode B is selected is 30%, and the probability that the mode C is selected is 20%.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when a cherry wins when mode A is selected, the probability of remaining in mode A is 80%, the probability of transitioning to mode B is 18%, and the probability of transitioning to mode C is 2%. When a watermelon is hit, the probability of remaining in mode A is 60%, the probability of shifting to mode B is 35%, and the probability of shifting to mode C is 5%.

  When the chance is won, the probability of remaining in mode A is 0%, the probability of shifting to mode B is 70%, and the probability of shifting to mode C is 30%. In addition, when one type BB is won, the probability of remaining in mode A is 0%, the probability of selecting mode B is 50%, and the probability of selecting mode C is 50%. When any other combination is won, mode A is always selected.

  As shown in FIG. 12, if a cherry wins when mode B is selected, the probability of transition to mode A is 0%, the probability of remaining mode B is 95%, and the probability of transition to mode C is 5%. When a watermelon is won, the probability of shifting to mode A is 0%, the probability of remaining in mode B is 90%, and the probability of shifting to mode C is 10%.

  In addition, when the chance hits, the mode C is always selected. Further, even when the type 1 BB is won, the mode C is always selected. In addition, when the other combination is won, the mode B is always selected.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when mode C is selected, mode C is always selected regardless of which combination is played.

  In addition, the section control unit 616 shifts the game section from the normal section to the advantageous section when the game section is a normal section and hits a section transition lottery. In this case, the section control unit 616 generates a section transition signal.

  Further, when the game section is shifted from the normal section to the advantageous section and a specific condition is satisfied, the notification unit 621 described later displays on the medium display unit 44 that the gaming section is the advantageous section. Let For example, the medium display unit 44 displays “.” At the lower right of the credit amount to indicate that the game section is an advantageous section.

  Note that the specific condition is, for example, a simulation in which a combination excluding bonuses such as 1 type BB wins the maximum number of medals to be paid out when an assist related to a winning combination related to the winning rate occurs. This is the case where the payout rate is 100% or more. Further, when the game section is once shifted to the advantageous section and the medium display unit 44 displays that the gaming section is the advantageous section, the display is continued until the advantageous section ends.

<Description of RT State Control Unit 617>
The RT state control unit 617 performs game progress using one RT state among a plurality of RT states. As described above, the probability that the replay flag is established as a winning flag (replay probability) is determined in advance for each of the plurality of RT states.

  In addition, the RT state control unit 617 transitions the RT state according to the game progress status such as a winning combination. The trigger for shifting from each RT state to another RT state is predetermined as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when the ART lottery is won, the notification unit 621 described later assists the pushing order (left middle right) so that the RT2 transition lip wins, for example, when the winning flag “RT2 transition lip 1” is won. To do. Then, when the RT2 transition lip is won, the RT state control unit 617 shifts to RT2 having a higher replay probability than RT1.
