  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  In order to facilitate the acquisition of medals, which are game media, gaming machines such as current spinning machine (hereinafter referred to as slot machine) (Referred to as “reel”) having an advantageous section in which control related to the instruction (assist) function for instructing the stop position and stop order and a non-advantageous section (normal section) in which control related to the instruction function cannot be performed ( Patent Document 1). In the advantageous section, the instruction (assist) function can be exhibited for a predetermined period, and an assist time (AT) state managed separately from the advantageous section can be executed.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of Patent Literature 1, the upper limit number (for example, 1500G) is provided in the advantageous section, and when the upper limit number is reached, the advantageous section ends, and the state related to the advantageous section, the state related to the instruction function, and the like are initial. It becomes. At this time, even if the AT state is staying at the same time, and the remaining number of games in the AT state exceeds the upper limit number of the advantageous section, the AT state together with the advantageous section is reached when the upper limit number of the advantageous section is reached. Is forcibly terminated. In order to eliminate such disadvantages of the player, there is a gaming machine that executes a control to enter an ending state when the number of games approaching the upper limit number of advantageous sections (for example, 1200G) is reached.

  In this ending state, even if the number of games related to the remaining AT state does not reach the upper limit number of advantageous sections (when the game related to the AT state ends before reaching the upper limit number of advantageous sections) In particular, the number of games related to the AT may be added so that the game can be played in the AT state up to the upper limit number of advantageous sections.

  In addition to such a gaming machine, for example, a plurality of RT states with different replay lottery states are provided, and the number of games that can be executed is a finite RT, and the winning probability of replay is high. In a type of gaming machine that reciprocates between the high RT state, which is a normal state, and the low RT state, which has a lower replay win probability than the high RT state, when a right to transition to the high RT state is acquired, Some perform an instruction effect for displaying a symbol combination for shifting from a low RT state to a high RT state.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the winning area (address: 27 to 49) including RBB1 or 2, a replay excluding a single role (specifically, bell, watermelon) or a normal replay and a push order replay. (Specifically, symbol replays A to E, reach replays A to C, chance replays A to C, weak cherries, and strong cherries) are selected to win.
In addition, in the winning area corresponding to the address 1, unfair winning that does not win any combination is set.

  The internal lottery means 215 sets the winning flags corresponding to all the combinations corresponding to the winning area in the main flag storage means 302 set in the main memory 300 when the winning area is determined by the internal lottery. . The winning flag includes a maintenance flag that maintains the winning state until the winning combination wins (the symbol combination is displayed), and a winning state at the end of the game in which the winning combination is displayed regardless of whether or not the winning combination (displaying the symbol combination) is present. There is a temporary flag that cancels out (sets to a non-winning state). A maintenance flag is used for the RBBs 1 and 2, and a temporary flag is used for the small combination and replay. For example, when RBB1 and weak cherry are selected and won, a maintenance flag corresponding to RBB1 and a temporary flag corresponding to weak cherry are overlapped and set in the main flag storage means 302. If there is no winning, the weak cherry flag is cleared and the RBB1 flag is maintained in the next game.

  In the slot machine S of the present embodiment, a winning area related to a watermelon, a weak cherry, a strong cherry (hereinafter also referred to as a rare role) having a low winning probability, and a winning area including RBB 1 or 2 relates to an advantageous section described later. It is set as an opportunity for processing (an advantageous section transition lottery, first game mode transition lottery, etc., which will be described later).

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 executes a reel control process for controlling the rotation and stop of the reels 3L to 3R.
In the reel control process, the symbols attached to the reels 3L to 3R can be changed and stopped by executing the reel rotation control and the reel stop control. The reel rotation control is a control for rotating the reels 3L to 3R at a predetermined rotation speed (for example, about 80 rpm) based on the pressing operation of the start lever 23 in the above-described game preparation state. The reel stop control is a control for stopping the reels 3L to 3R during steady rotation in a manner corresponding to the result of the internal lottery based on the pressing operation of the stop buttons 24L to 24R.

  In the reel stop control, the stop positions of the rotating reels 3L to 3R are determined by the stop switch 24a being actuated (by receiving an ON signal) by pressing the stop buttons 24L to 24R during the rotation of the reels 3L to 3R. The number of frames required for the reels 3L to 3R to stop from the position of the reels 3L to 3R at the time when the pressing operation of the stop buttons 24L to 24R is detected is in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (5 frames) (retraction range) In).

  Therefore, in the reel stop control, the replay symbol RP and the bell symbol BL arranged in the drawing range in each of the reels 3L to 3R and the watermelon symbol WM arranged in the drawing range in the right reel 3R (see FIG. 2). ) Even if the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed at any timing, they can be pulled to the active line L and stopped.

  Further, in the reel stop control, the symbols corresponding to the combination for which the winning flag is set are drawn on the active line L to be stopped. In other words, the reels 3L to 3L are selected so that the winning combination can be won. Control to stop 3R is executed.

  Therefore, since the bell combination (NML1) is composed only of the bell symbols BL arranged so as to have an interval within the pull-in range (see FIGS. 2 and 4), the winning combination (display) can always be made if a winner is won. It is a role.

  On the other hand, the symbols A to D (NML 2 to 5) have symbols corresponding to the left reel 3L and the middle reel 3C arranged in the pull-in range, but four symbols corresponding to the right reel 3R are When only one each is arranged in 3R and the right stop button 24R is pressed down to aim at either one, it draws one symbol at intervals that cannot draw another symbol. Arranged (SR2, BR, R7, W7 are arranged at approximately equal intervals, respectively) (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

  Therefore, if any one of the winning combinations A to D is won, a winning combination can be made with a probability of 1/4, but the symbol combination related to the blank is displayed with a probability of 3/4.

  In addition, the symbols corresponding to the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R are arranged in the drawing range for the watermelon roles 1 and 2 (NML6, 7), but the symbols corresponding to the left reel 3L are arranged in the drawing range. Since it is not (see FIGS. 2 and 4), even if it is won, it may not be able to win (display).

  However, since the watermelon winning area is composed of watermelon roles 1 and 2 (NML6, 7), when watermelon is won, watermelon roles 1 and 2 (NML6, 7) will win the In the reel 3L, either the watermelon symbol WM constituting the watermelon role 1 or the white 7 symbol W7 constituting the watermelon role 2 can be surely drawn, and the watermelon roles 1, 2 (NML6, 7 corresponding to the drawn symbols). ) Can always win.

  For replays (REP1-19), REP3, 4, 6-10, 12, 16, 17 are composed only of symbols arranged so as to be within the pull-in range (see FIGS. 2 and 5). If you win, you will always be able to win a prize (display a symbol combination or simply display).

  On the other hand, REP1, 2, 5, 11, 13-15, 18, and 19 are not arranged so that the symbols corresponding to any of the reels 3 are within the pull-in range (see FIGS. 2 and 5). , Even if you win, you may not be able to win (display).

  However, as described above, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the replay winning area is configured to include a replay that can always be awarded when it includes a replay that may not be awarded. Therefore, one of the replays can always be won.

  The reel control means 220 refers to a predetermined stop control table (not shown) when any one of the press order replays A to F is won, thereby pressing the stop buttons 24L to 24R (for example, a predetermined order). Determine the stop position of reel 3 (symbol) according to the correct push order (reel stop operation in accordance with the purpose of the privilege) or incorrect push order (reel stop operation against the purpose of the privilege)) and win The reels 3L to 3R are controlled to stop so that the replay that can be performed (which can be displayed) is different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when any one of the push order replays A to F is won, the reel control unit 220 operates the stop buttons 24 </ b> L to 24 </ b> R in the correct push order (according to the purpose of the privilege). When the reel 3 is stopped), any one of the maintenance replays REP1, 3, 4 and the like is pressed in the incorrect pressing order regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons 24L to 24R. When an operation (stop operation of the reel 3 contrary to the purpose of the privilege) is performed, the reels 3L to 3R are stopped so that the REP 15 or 16 that is the RT1 transition replay is won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons 24L to 24R. Control.

Further, when any of the symbol replays A to D is elected, the reel control unit 220 determines that the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed when the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in any of the pressing orders 1 to 4. It is a case where the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in the pressing order 5 or 6 so that the REP17 which is the RT2 transition replay wins regardless of the pressing timing, and the first symbol symbol SR1 or the second symbol symbol SR2 When the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed down with the aim of, the first symbol symbol SR1 and the second symbol symbol SR2 of REP18 or 19 which are RT2 transition replays are displayed only on one line (effective line L) (symbol Single line) or 2 lines (active line L and diagonal invalid line) Double Matching) is allowed by such REP18 or 19 is winning, and stops controlling the reel 3L～3R.
As described above, when any of the symbol replays A to D is won, the RT2 transition replay is always won.

When the symbol replay E is won, the reel control means 220 maintains the replay regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons 24L to 24R when the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in any of the pressing orders 1 to 4. If one of REP1, 3 and 4 is a win, or if the stop button 24L to 24R is pressed down in the pushing order 5 or 6 and aiming at the first symbol SR1, the middle reel The first symbol symbol SR1 of REP11, which is a maintenance replay, can be displayed on the effective line L of 3C and the right reel 3R, respectively, but the bell symbol BL is displayed on the effective line L of the left reel 3L (first symbol symbol) Reel 3L to 3R so that REP11 wins by making SR1 not stop and symbol fake aligned) To stop control.
In this way, when the symbol replay E is won, the maintenance replay is always won.

(Winning determination means 225)
The winning determination means 225 executes a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination is made based on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L when the reels 3L to 3R are controlled to stop. In the winning determination process, with reference to a winning determination table (not shown) set in the main memory 300, a symbol indicating a winning combination is a winning combination of a small role, replay or bonus, or a non-winning that does not win any of the winning combinations. Judgment is made based on whether or not the combination.
Based on the result of determination of the winning determination process by the winning determination means 225, a winning process such as a medal payout process, automatic insertion process, gaming state transition process, RT state transition control, which will be described later, is executed. The winning determination means 225 also determines the presence / absence of a symbol combination related to the blank when one of the combinations A to D is missed.

(Payout control means 230)
The payout control means 230 executes payout control for determining the number of medals to be paid out based on the payout of the winning small role when the small role is won and paying out the medals for the determined payout amount to the hopper unit 32. To do.

  Also, the payout control means 230 adds a count value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the advantageous section, which will be described later, to the payout counter 303 set in the main memory 300, and a count value corresponding to the number of medals inserted in the advantageous section. Is subtracted from the payout counter 303, and the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section is counted. Based on the fact that the count value (net increase number) of the payout counter 303 has reached an upper limit value (for example, “2400”, equivalent to 2400 medals), the payout control means 230 sets an upper limit to the advantageous section control means 250 described later. A notification signal indicating that the value has been reached is transmitted.

(Replay processing means 235)
Based on the display of the symbol combination related to replay (replay was won), the replay processing means 235 does not insert a new medal (including a credit medal) by the player before the previous game. An automatic insertion process is executed in which the same number of medals as the number or the number of bets are automatically inserted.

(Game state control means 240)
The gaming state control means 240 executes a gaming state transition process for transitioning (starting and ending) a plurality of gaming states having different internal lottery states based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. The gaming state includes a general state, an RBB internal state, and an RBB operating state.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the general state is an initial state in the gaming state, a non-internal state of the bonus (RBB), and a non-operating state, and is based on the end of the game related to the RBB or a change of the set value. It is a gaming state to be transferred. In the general state, any of RT0, RT1, RT2 or RT3 is set as a replay lottery state (RT state) to be described later according to the game situation, and the winning area including the RBB is targeted for internal lottery. The internal lottery is executed based on one of the internal lottery tables having different winning probabilities and types of replays according to these RT states.

  Specifically, in the general state, when the replay lottery state to be described later is RT0, the internal lottery table in which the replays except the symbol replay E, the normal replay, and the reach replays A to C and all the small combinations are set. Internal lottery is executed based on the same, and in the case of RT1, the internal lottery is executed based on the internal lottery table in which the replays other than the symbol replays A to D and the reach replays A to C and all the small roles are set. Similarly, in the case of RT2, the configuration is the same as RT1, but as will be described later, an internal lottery is executed based on an internal lottery table in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than other RT states. In the case of RT3, replays and all small roles except push order replays A to F, symbol replays A to E, and reach replays A to C Internal lottery is performed based on the set internal lottery table.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the general state, the RBB internal state shifts based on winning in the winning area including the RBB (hereinafter simply referred to as RBB (RBB1 or 2) (also referred to as RBB winning)). The internal lottery is executed based on the internal lottery table that is the state and the winning area including all the small roles, all the replays, and all the RBBs is the target of the internal lottery. However, when the winning area including the RBB is won in the RBB internal state, the winning information (winning flag) relating to the RBB is cleared by the internal lottery means 215, and only the double winning winning combination or replay is in the winning state. Processing is executed.

  Note that the winning area including the RBB may be excluded from the internal lottery table in the RBB internal state. In that case, it sets so that the winning area of the small part and replay which do not contain RBB expands.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment, there is no difference in the winning probability of the small combination in the general state and the RBB internal state.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the RBB operating state (special gaming state) is a gaming state that shifts based on the RBB (RBB1 or 2) winning (RBB winning) in the RBB internal state, and the bell is in the winning area. An internal lottery is executed based on the internal lottery table set for all. Therefore, unlike other game states, the game state is advantageous to the player in that each game small role (bell) is won.

The RBB operation state continues until the number of medals paid out in the RBB operation state exceeds a predetermined number (a predetermined payout number, for example, 350), and ends based on the payout of medals exceeding the predetermined payout number ( RBB ends). After the RBB operation state is finished, control for shifting the gaming state to the general state is executed.
The gaming state control means 240 executes a winning lottery of a battle (game (effect) state in which characters of the slot machine S fight), which are the triggers for executing a later-described navigation stock lottery and additional special zone lottery in the RBB operating state. In the case of winning (winning), either a navigation stock lottery or an additional special zone lottery described later is executed.

  The game state control means 240 controls the transition (start / end) of each game state by setting or clearing the game flag corresponding to the game state in the main flag storage means 302. An internal lottery table to be referred to at this time is determined.

(RT control means 245)
The RT control means 245 (game control means) performs a replay lottery state (hereinafter, also referred to as an RT state), that is, a replay winning probability and a win based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition when the gaming state is a general state ( RT0 (low RT state, first state, non-specific RT), RT1 (low RT state, second state), RT2 (high RT state, advantageous state, specific RT, specific state) with different replay types ) And RT3 transition control related to RT3 transition (start and end).
Since all RT states are general states, winning areas related to roles other than replay, that is, winning areas related to small roles, winning areas including bonuses, and unfavorable winnings are set to have the same lottery probability. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 8, RT0 is an initial RT state that is shifted to when the RWM (Read Write Memory) of the main board 200 is initialized, and as shown in FIG. Symbol replays A to D, chance replays A to C, weak cherries and strong cherries are targeted for internal lottery, and the combined winning probability of those replays is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  As shown in FIG. 8, RT1 is a finite RT in which the number of times that a game can be played (a specific number of games, for example, 120G) is determined, and as shown in FIG. 6, push order replays A to F, symbols Replay E, normal replay, chance replays A to C, weak cherries and strong cherries are subject to internal lottery, and the combined winning probability of those replays is set to about 1 / 7.3 (probability different from RT0) Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 8, RT2 is a high RT state that is advantageous to a player who has a high replay winning probability, and the number of times that a game can be played (a predetermined number of games, for example, 30G) is defined. As shown in FIG. 6, the winning area relating to the same replay as RT1 is the target of internal lottery, and the combined winning probability of those replays is set to about 1 / 1.9.

  As shown in FIG. 8, RT3 is a post-bonus RT state that shifts after the end of RBB. As shown in FIG. 6, normal replay, chance replays A to C, weak cherries and strong cherries are subject to internal lottery. The combined winning probability of those replays is set to about 1 / 7.3 (probability different from RT0 and RT1). In the RBB internal state, winning areas related to all replays including reach replays A to C are subject to internal lottery, and in the RBB operating state, winning areas related to replay are subject to internal lottery. Absent.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the RT control means 245 shifts to RT0 based on the fact that the symbol combination related to the blank is displayed (blank display) in RT3 that shifts after the end of the RBB, and RT1 shift replay ( Based on the display of the symbol combination related to REP15 or 16) (display of RT1 transition replay), the transition is made to RT1, and a specific number of games (for example, 120G) has been played (digested) in RT1. Based on the fact that the symbol combination relating to RT2 transition replay (REP17, 18 or 19) is displayed in RT0 (display of RT2 transition replay), and then transitions to RT2. , Based on the fact that a predetermined number of games (for example, 30G) has been played (digested) To perform the control to have to return to RT0.

  The RT control means 245 is an RT state counter (not shown) set in the main memory 300 in order to count the number of games in each RT state every time one game is played in RT1 and RT2, which are finite RTs. Decrement processing for decrementing the count value is executed. The RT control unit 245 sets a specific value (for example, “120”) in the case of RT1 and sets a predetermined value (for example, “30”) in the case of RT2, as the initial value of the RT state counter. Then, the RT control unit 245 executes control to shift to RT0 based on the count value of the RT state counter reaching “0” as a result of the decrement processing.

  The RT control means 245 sets (shifts to) RT1 in the main flag storage means 302 by setting (switching on) the RT1 flag, and sets RT2 by setting (switching on) the RT2 flag (switching on). RT3 is set (shifted to) by setting the RT3 flag (switching on), and the RT1 flag, RT2 flag, or RT3 flag that has been set is cleared (switching off) by switching to RT0 Set (Move to).

(Advantageous section control means 250)
The advantageous section control means 250, based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition, the advantageous section (special state) having the performance related to the instruction function which is a game section, and the non-advantageous section (which cannot have the performance related to the instruction function) Control related to the transition (start / end) between the normal section) and the standby section (see FIGS. 9 and 10) is executed.

(Unfavorable section)
The non-advantageous section (ordinary section) is a gaming section in which processing related to the instruction function is restricted and processing related to navigation stock (to be described later) and processing related to instruction effects cannot be performed at all.

(Standby section)
In the standby section, the processing related to the instruction function is limited in the same manner as the non-advantageous section, and when the winning opportunity of the advantageous section transition lottery described later is the RBB winning, it is not advantageous based on the transition to the RBB internal state. It is a game section that shifts from the section, and shifts to the advantageous section based on the transition to the RBB operating state (RBB winning) (see FIG. 10). In the standby section, the transition to the advantageous section has been confirmed, but even if a game is played in the standby section, it is not counted as the number of games in the advantageous section.

(Advantageous section)
The advantageous section (special state) is a gaming section that has the performance related to the instruction function and can perform the processing related to the navigation stock described later and the processing related to the instruction effect, which are restricted in the non-advantageous section and the standby section. Thus, when the push order replays A to F are won in a predetermined RT state (for example, RT0), the correct combination that can display the symbol combination related to REP1, 3,4, etc. that is the maintenance replay (maintenance replay is won) It is a game section in which the pressing order can be notified (instruction, navigation, also referred to as navigation hereinafter). In the advantageous section, navigation stock lottery and the like that can acquire the right to notify the correct pressing order can be executed.

  The advantageous section is started from the game next to the winning of the advantageous section shift lottery executed later in the non-favorable section.

  In addition, the upper limit of the number of games that can be executed and the upper limit of the number of medals that can be executed are determined in the advantageous section. For example, when an 1500G game is played in one advantageous section, or in one advantageous section When the number of net increase reaches, for example, 2400, it always ends and shifts to a non-favorable section (normal section) (see FIG. 10).

  The advantageous section control means 250 sets (shifts to) an advantageous section by setting (switching on) an advantageous flag in the main flag storage means 302, and sets a standby flag (switches on) to a standby section. Is set (shifted to), and the advantageous flag or standby flag that has been set is cleared (switched off) to set (shift to) a non-favorable section.

  In order to determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous section based on the winning of the winning area including the rare role (watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, etc.) or RBB in the advantageous section control means 250, With reference to an advantageous section lottery table (not shown) stored in the main memory 300, an advantageous section transition lottery is executed. In addition, you may set so that the winning probability of an advantageous area transfer lottery may differ according to the kind of rare combination.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the non-advantageous section, when the advantageous section control means 250 wins the advantageous section transition lottery based on the winning of the rare role, it is advantageous to set the advantageous flag in the next game won. Execute the process to move to the section. In the slot machine S according to the present embodiment, when winning the advantageous section shift lottery in response to the winning of the rare role, the game mode described later is set along with the shift to the advantageous section.

  Then, in the game mode (the first game mode or the second game mode) to be described later, the advantageous section control means 250 clears the advantageous flag and ends the advantageous section when shifting to the end standby state at a predetermined opportunity. Control.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the advantageous section control means 250 sets a standby flag in accordance with the transition to the RBB internal state when winning the advantageous section transition lottery based on the winning of the winning area including the RBB. Based on the RBB winning, a process for shifting to the waiting section is executed, an advantageous flag is set, and a process for shifting to the advantageous section is executed. At the end of the RBB, there is a navigation stock described later (the navigation counter 306 described later). When the count value ≧ 1), the advantageous section is maintained, and when there is no navigation stock to be described later (when the count value of the navigation counter 306 described later = 0), the termination waiting condition described later is satisfied in order to satisfy the termination condition of the advantageous section. After shifting to the state, control is performed so that the advantageous flag is cleared and the advantageous period is ended.

  The advantageous section control means 250 has an advantageous section ceiling counter (specific state counter) 305 set in the main memory 300 in order to count the number of games executed in the advantageous section every time one game is played in the advantageous section. Increment processing for incrementing the count value (initial value “0”) is executed.

As a result of the increment processing, when the count value of the advantageous section ceiling counter 305 reaches the upper limit number (for example, “1500”, 1500 G), the advantageous section control means 250 performs control so as to clear the advantageous flag and end the advantageous section. To do.
Also, the advantageous section control means 250 ends the advantageous section in the same manner when receiving a notification signal transmitted from the payout control means 230 to the effect that the net increase number has reached an upper limit (for example, “2400”). To control.

  When the advantageous section is completed, various means (for example, the advantageous section control means 250, the instruction control means 270, etc.) of the main board 200 are displayed in various states, flags (ending flag, relief flag, etc. described later), counters ( An initialization process for initializing count values of a payout counter 303, an advantageous section ceiling counter 305, a navigation counter 306, a game mode counter 307, a preparation state counter 308, and an RT round-trip counter 309, which will be described later, is executed. The control means 250 controls to shift to the non-favorable section.

(Ending mode)
As a result of the increment process, the advantageous section control means 250 confirms that the RBB is won after the count value of the advantageous section ceiling counter 305 exceeds a specific value (for example, “1200”) close to the upper limit value (for example, “1500”). As an opportunity, an ending flag is set in the main flag storage means 302 to set an ending mode (ending state). The specific value is obtained by subtracting the number of times of extra addition (for example, 300) that can be added in one additional state or one state (for example, additional specialization zone) from the upper limit number of advantageous sections (for example, 1500-300). For this reason, if the estimated number of additions that can be added is different, the specific value also varies.
In addition, the timing for setting the ending mode is not limited to the RBB winning after exceeding a specific value, but the winning of the specific role (maintenance replay) and the change in the RT state (for example, the change from RT2 to RT0 or vice versa) The ending mode may be set at the opportunity.

  When the ending flag is set, the advantageous section control unit 250 transmits a notification signal indicating that the ending flag is set to the sub-board 500.

  The advantageous section control means 250 is used as an instruction effect in the advantageous section indicator (not shown) of the game information display unit 5 provided in the upper front door 2A when the push order replay is won during the advantageous section. Control to display the correct answer pressing order (pressing order 1 to 6) shown in FIG. 7 using numbers “1 to 6”, for example, is executed.

(Game mode control means 260)
The game mode control means 260 executes control related to the transition (start / end) of a plurality of types of game modes set corresponding to the above-described RT state and advantageous section.

  The game mode includes a game mode preparation state in which a transition is made based on a win of an advantageous section transition lottery executed when a rare role is won (confirmation of transition to an advantageous section), and a game mode ready state that can be shifted from the game mode preparation state. One game mode and a second game mode that can be shifted from the first game mode or after the end of the RBB are set.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the game mode is set only in the advantageous section in the general state, and is not set in the normal section and the standby section.

  Specifically, the game mode includes a branch state that is a game mode preparation state, a pseudo high probability state that is a first game mode, a high probability state, a very high probability state, and a real RT preparation that is a second game mode. The state and the main RT state (RT2) are set. In addition, the normal state (RT0), the relief state (RT1), and the RT after BNS (RT3) are set in the RT ready state according to the RT state and the like, and the first game mode and the second game mode are respectively End wait state is set. Note that the end standby state common to each game mode may be set without setting the end standby state corresponding to each game mode.

(Game mode ready state)
As shown in FIG. 10, the branching state, which is the game mode preparation state, shifts in the non-favorable section based on winning the advantageous section transition lottery triggered by the winning of the rare role (the winning area not including the RBB). The game mode is ready. Also, in the branching state, a game mode decision is made by referring to the RT state when all of the reels 3 are stopped, and determining one of the pseudo high probability state, the high probability state, and the very high probability state which is the first game mode. A lottery is executed, and a transition is made to one of the determined states. The RT state can be determined from the RT state of the game, in the case of a finite RT, the number of remaining RT games, or the symbol combination (out), but in the slot machine S of this embodiment, as will be described later. In addition, the RT state is determined with reference to the RT flag based on the symbol combination display when all the reels 3 are stopped.

  In the game mode determination lottery, for example, when the RT state is RT2, either the high probability state or the ultra-high probability state is easily determined, and when the RT state is not RT2, the pseudo high probability state> high probability It is easy to determine in the order of state> super high probability state.

  The branch state shifts at the time of winning the advantageous section transition lottery, and a game mode determination lottery (high-definition game to be described later) performed at the timing when the start lever 23 of the next game of the transitioned game is pressed (same timing as the internal lottery). The stay period is shorter than one game because it ends at the time of transition to the first game mode determined in the mode determination lottery or the low-probability game mode determination lottery.

(First game mode)
In the first game mode, a pseudo-high probability state, a high probability state, and an ultra-high probability state, a chance zone lottery described later is executed when a symbol combination related to RT2 transition replay is displayed (RT2 transition replay display). In addition, a transition to the real RT state of the second game mode, which will be described later, is made with the transition to RT2.

  Further, in the pseudo high probability state, the high probability state, and the super high probability state, a navigation stock lottery by the instruction control means 270 described later is executed based on the winning of the winning area including the RBB.

  Winning probabilities of chance zone lottery and navigation stock lottery described later are set so that a pseudo high probability state <high probability state <super high probability state.

(Pseudo high probability state)
As shown in FIG. 10, the pseudo high probability state is a game mode that can be shifted from a branch state, a high probability state, or an ultra-high probability state, and is a first mode transition lottery executed when a rare role is won. Based on the winning, it is possible to shift to either a high probability state or a very high probability state.
The pseudo high probability state shifts to an end standby state when a predetermined number of games (for example, 30G) is played (digested).

(High probability state)
As shown in FIG. 10, the high probability state is a game mode that can be shifted from the branch state or the pseudo high probability state, and can shift to the super high probability state based on the winning of the above-mentioned first mode transition lottery. It has become.
The high probability state shifts to a pseudo high probability state when a predetermined number of games (for example, 30G) is played (digested).

(Super high probability state)
As shown in FIG. 10, the ultra-high probability state is a game mode that can be shifted from a branch state, a pseudo-high probability state, or a high probability state.
The super-high probability state shifts to a pseudo-high probability state when a predetermined number of games (for example, 30G) is played (digested).

(End waiting state)
As shown in FIG. 10, the end standby state in the first mode is a game mode in which a transition is made when the end of the pseudo-high probability state (satisfying the end condition of the advantageous section), and from the advantageous section to the non-favorable section It is in a ready state immediately before the transition to, and ends with the end of the advantageous section.

  In the end standby state, the game mode counter 307, which will be described later in the pseudo high probability state, is incremented when the start lever 23 is pressed and becomes “30”, and all of the stop buttons 24L to 24R are moved. At the timing when all of the reels 3 are stopped after the pressing operation of is finished, it ends together with the advantageous section and shifts to the general state (non-favorable section), and the stay period is shorter than one game.

  In the branching state, the game mode control means 260 is configured to display the main flag when all stop operations of the stop buttons 24L to 24R are finished, all the reels 3 are stopped, and the symbol combination relating to the combination is stopped and displayed. With reference to the RT flag set in the storage means 302, for example, when the RT2 flag is set, a high-probability game mode determination lottery in which either a high probability state or an ultra-high probability state is selected When the flag that is not the RT2 flag is set, the low-probability game mode determination lottery for any one of the pseudo high probability state, the high probability state, or the super high probability state is executed. In the low probability game mode determination lottery, winning probabilities are set in the order of pseudo high probability state> high probability state> super high probability state.

  The determination of the transition to the pseudo high probability state, the high probability state, or the ultra high probability state, which is the first game mode, is not limited to the above method (lottery), and a game mode corresponding to the RT state is determined in advance. A corresponding game mode may be determined with reference to the RT state. For example, in the case of RT1, a pseudo high probability state may be set in advance, in the case of RT0 a high probability state, and in the case of RT2, a very high probability state may be set.

  The game mode control means 260 sets (shifts to) a pseudo high probability state flag by setting (switching to ON) a pseudo high probability state flag in the main flag storage means 302 and sets a high probability state flag (ON). ) To set (transition) to a high probability state, set an ultra-high probability state flag (switch to ON) to set (transition to) an ultra-high probability state, and set an end waiting flag ( By switching on, the end standby state is set (shifted to), and these flags are cleared (switched off and maintained), thereby ending the first game mode.

  The game mode control means 260 increments the game mode counter 307 set in the main memory 300 for each game in the pseudo high probability state, and reaches a predetermined value (for example, “30”). Similarly, in the high probability state or the ultra high probability state, the game mode counter 307 is incremented for each game and the pseudo high level is reached based on reaching a predetermined value (for example, “30”). Control to shift to the probability state.

  The game mode control means 260 executes a process for initializing the value of the game mode counter 307 after transition to the game mode.

(Second game mode)
In the second game mode, the main RT preparation state and the main RT state are set according to the RT state, and an end waiting state that can be shifted by satisfying a predetermined condition is set.

(This RT ready state)
As shown in FIG. 10, this RT preparation state is a preparation state immediately before the main RT state, which will be described later, and corresponds to RT0, RT1, and RT3 in the RT state. When the transition to the RT ready state is made after the end of the RBB, which has been a win for the advantageous section transition lottery (RT after RT BNS, RT 3), and when the transition is made after the end of the RT state (RT 2) (normal state, RT 0 )

  The real RT preparation state includes a real RT preparation state (RT1) in a relief state, a real RT preparation state (RT0) in a non-relief state (also referred to as a normal state), and a post-BNS RT (RT3).

  In this RT preparation state, navigation stock lottery by the instruction control means 270 described later is executed based on the winning of the winning area including the RBB regardless of the normal state, the rescue state, or the RT after BNS.

(Normal RT preparation state)
In the normal RT preparation state (first state) in which the corresponding RT state is RT0, there is a case where there is navigation stock that can be given by navigation stock lottery described later (count value of navigation counter 306 described later = 1). When one of the push order replays A to F is won, an instruction effect that suggests the correct push order is executed. On the other hand, even in the normal RT preparation state, if there is no navigation stock (a count value of a navigation counter 306 described later = 0), even if one of the push order replays A to F is won, an instruction is given. Production is not executed.

  In the normal RT preparation state in the normal state, a navigation stock lottery described later is executed by playing a predetermined number of games (for example, 60G).

  In the normal RT preparation state in the normal state, the state transitions to RT2 based on the display of the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay, and thus transitions to the real RT state.

  Further, in the normal RT preparation state in the normal state, a game mode distribution process described later is executed according to the presence or absence of navigation stock described later and the type of replay to be displayed. This RT ready state or end standby state) is shifted or continued.

(Relief state RT ready state)
In the main RT preparation state (second state) in the relief state in which the corresponding RT state is RT1, a part of the above-described processing executed in the normal RT preparation state in the normal state is limited.

  Specifically, in the real RT preparation state in the relief state, even if there is a navigation stock and one of the push order replays A to F is won, the instruction effect suggesting the correct push order is not executed.

  Further, in the actual RT preparation state in the relief state, even if a game is performed, the preparation state counter 308 described later is not incremented, and the determination process for executing the navigation stock lottery is not performed.

  The main RT ready state in the rescue state is such that the game mode or the like is changed with the transition of the RT state. In the main RT ready state in the rescue state, a specific number of games (for example, 120G) is played, and the RT state Shifts from RT1 to RT0, thereby returning to the normal RT ready state. Further, the real RT ready state in the relief state is changed to RT0 after the BBB RT (RT3) after winning the RBB (for example, winning probability 1/250), winning, and finishing, to RT0. Return to.

  Therefore, as described above, the repairing state of the RT preparation state often takes time to return to the normal state of the RT preparation state. However, the advantageous state is maintained and the RT state (RT2) is maintained. It is in a state where it can be migrated.

  Thus, by providing the real RT preparation state in the relief state, the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in the order of incorrect pressing without following the instruction effect based on the navigation stock (the operation of stopping the reel 3 against the purpose of the privilege). ), The advantageous section is maintained and it is possible to return to the real RT state while making it difficult to shift to the real RT state (penalty). Further, in the real RT ready state in the rescue state, no privilege such as navigation stock is given, so there is no advantage for the player to continue the real RT ready state in the rescue state.

  As will be described later, the chance zone lottery is executed based on the transition to RT0 after the transition to RT1 in the advantageous section. The execution probability and the winning probability of the zone lottery may be lowered, or the lottery itself may not be executed.

(RT after BNS)
RT after BNS whose corresponding RT state is RT3 is a game mode that shifts along with the transition to RT3 after the end of RBB, and displays a symbol combination related to a blank that is displayed when a single combination AD is missed By shifting to RT0 based on this, it is possible to shift to the normal RT preparation state in the normal state.

  In RT after BNS, since the push order replays A to F are excluded from the objects of the internal lottery, the instruction effect that suggests the correct push order is not executed.

  The game mode control means 260 sets (shifts to) the main RT preparation state by setting (turning on) the main RT preparation state flag in the main flag storage unit 302 and sets the main RT state flag (ON). This RT state is set (shifted to), and the end standby flag is set (switched on) to set (transfer to) the end standby state, and these flags are cleared (switched off). , Maintain) to end the second game mode. In addition, the game mode control unit 260 sets the main RT preparation state in the relief state by setting (turning on) the relief flag in the main flag storage unit 302 when the real RT preparation state flag is set. (Shift to), and clear (reset off, maintain) the relief flag to set (shift to) the normal RT preparation state in the normal state.

  When there is no navigation stock (the count value of a navigation counter 306 described later = 0) in the normal RT preparation state in the normal state, the game mode control unit 260 counts the count value ( For example, an increment process for incrementing initial value = 0) is executed.

  Further, the game mode control unit 260 initializes the preparation state counter 308 based on the relief flag being set in the main flag storage unit 302, and does not perform increment processing even if a game is performed.

  In addition, the game mode control means 260 is a case where one of the pressing order replays A to F is won in the normal RT preparation state, and the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in the incorrect pressing order. When the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed, a game mode distribution process for shifting to the rescue state of the RT ready state or the end standby state is executed based on conditions such as presence / absence of navigation stock.

  In the game mode distribution process, when there is no navigation stock (the count value of the navigation counter 306 described later = 0) in the normal RT preparation state in the normal state, and any of the push order replays A to F is won The symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed based on the fact that the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in the incorrect answer pressing order (the suggestion effect is not executed) (or the transition to RT1). Thus, control for shifting to the end standby state is performed.

  In the game mode distribution process, there is a navigation stock in the normal RT preparation state (a count value of a navigation counter 306, which will be described later), and one of the push order replays A to F is won. In such a case, the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed based on the fact that the stop button 24L to 24R is pressed in the incorrect answer pressing order (the suggestion effect is executed) (or the process proceeds to RT1). )), The control for shifting to the RT ready state in the relief state is performed.

  In the game mode distribution process, in the normal RT preparation state, regardless of the presence or absence of the navigation stock, if one of the push order replays A to F is won, the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pushed in the correct push order. Based on the pressing operation being performed, the symbol combination related to the maintenance replay is displayed (RT0 is maintained), so that the normal RT preparation state in the normal state is continued.

  In the game mode distribution process, the distribution process is performed in response to the pressing operation of the stop buttons 24L to 24R in a predetermined pressing order or the display of the symbol combination related to the predetermined replay. The distribution process may be performed by judging the transition of the RT state or the staying RT state.

  In the repaired real RT ready state that can be shifted by this game mode distribution process, the normal RT ready state can be returned to the advantageous real RT state while maintaining the advantageous section, but the end waiting state Then, the advantageous section ends, and the balance of the game is aimed at.

(This RT state)
As shown in FIG. 10, the real RT state (advantageous state) in which the corresponding RT state is RT2 is a game mode that can be shifted from the first game mode or the real RT preparation state, and is set corresponding to RT2. The game is terminated when a predetermined number of games (for example, 30G) is performed (digested) in conjunction with RT2, and the present RT preparation state (RT0) is entered (one set 30G). .
Further, in this RT state, a navigation stock lottery described later is executed based on the winning of the winning area including the RBB.

  The game mode control means 260 performs control to shift to the normal RT preparation state in the normal state based on the fact that the game has been performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 30G) in the RT state and the RT state has shifted to RT0. Execute.

(End waiting state)
In the end standby state (third state) in the second game mode, the corresponding RT state is RT1, and has the same function as the end standby state in the first game mode described above. This is one of the game modes to be shifted as a result of the game mode distribution process in the state.

  The game mode control unit 260 counts the number of reciprocations in the main RT state and the main RT preparation state from the set states of the main RT state flag and the main RT preparation state flag in the main flag storage unit 302. Specifically, the game mode control unit 260 clears the main RT storage state flag after setting the main RT preparation state flag, in other words, clears the main RT preparation state flag. Based on the setting of the RT state flag, an increment process for incrementing the count value (for example, initial value = 0) of the RT round-trip counter 309 set in the main memory 300 is executed.

  In the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the only game mode that can be continuously transferred to the real RT state while maintaining one advantageous section is the real RT ready state. The count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 may be incremented based only on the RT state flag set).

The game mode control means 260 executes processing for initializing the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 based on the transition from the normal RT preparation state in the normal state to the end standby state (or the non-advantageous section). When transitioning to the state, the initialization process is not executed.
Therefore, even if the gaming mode control means 260 has transitioned from the real RT ready state to the rescue state, the game mode control means 260 subsequently returns to the real RT ready state and sets the real RT state flag after the real RT ready state flag is set. Is set, the RT round-trip counter 309 is incremented.
It should be noted that a process for initializing the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 may be executed as a penalty based on the transition to the relief state.

  Here, since the second game mode (the real RT state or the real RT preparation state) shifts to RT3 after the RBB wins / wins / finishes and returns to the real RT preparation state, the game mode control means 260 The count value is maintained without initializing the RT round-trip counter 309 based on the winning / winning / completion of this, and the process of incrementing the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is continued by shifting to the RT state.

(Instruction control means 270)
The instruction control means 270 (privilege grant means, specific state management means) indicates the correct answer push order when one of the push order replays A to F is won in the above-mentioned RT preparation state (RT0) ( The processing related to (Navigation) is executed.

  Specifically, the instruction control means 270 is stored in the main memory 300 in order to grant a right to execute an instruction (navigation) (privilege, hereinafter also referred to as “navistock”) when the RBB is won. The navigation stock lottery is executed with reference to the navigation lottery table (not shown).

  For example, when the instruction control means 270 wins the RBB in the advantageous section, the instruction control means 270 executes the navigation stock lottery in which one or more navigation stocks are promised to be acquired, and when the RBB is won in the non-favorable section. , Navi stock lottery is executed in some cases where Navi stock cannot be acquired (displaced).

  The instruction control means 270 wins one or more navigation stocks based on the display of the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay by winning one of the symbol replays A to D in the first game mode described above. Run the promised Navistock lottery.

  For example, in the case of the above-mentioned single symbol set (see FIG. 7), it is easy to win one navigation stock (it is not always necessary to display the single symbol set, and the winning area that can be won with the single symbol set ( In the case of symbol double play (see FIG. 7), a plurality of navigation stocks can be easily won (not necessarily displayed in symbol double match) A winning area (symbol replays B to D) that can be won with a double symbol arrangement is selected).

The instruction control unit 270 executes a navigation stock lottery in which acquisition of one or more navigation stocks is promised based on the count value of the preparation state counter 308 reaching a predetermined value (for example, “60”).
This is a remedy when the normal RT preparation state continues (becomes addicted).

  As described above, in the navigation stock lottery, it is possible to acquire one or a plurality of navigation stocks as a result of the lottery, and the navigation stock selected in the lottery is stored in the main memory 300. It is added as the count value of the counter 306.

  The instruction control unit 270 refers to the number of reciprocations in the RT state and the RT preparation state (the count value of the RT reciprocation counter 309), and the number of reciprocations (the count value) becomes the first value (for example, a multiple of 3). Or the second value (for example, a multiple of 6) is given preferential treatment for the navigation stock.

  Specifically, the instruction control means 270 displays a lottery preferential state in which a lottery is preferentially performed when there is a navigation stock lottery in a game mode in which the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is a first value (for example, a multiple of 3). In the game mode that is started and becomes a second value (for example, a multiple of 6), a navigation stock lottery is executed at a predetermined timing, and a lottery flag is set in the main flag storage unit 302. The instruction control unit 270 clears the lottery flag based on the fact that the result of the increment processing of the RT round-trip counter 309 is no longer the second value.

  For example, in the lottery preferential state in which the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 becomes the first value, when the second game mode is the real RT preparation state, two or more navigation stocks are triggered by winning the RBB. Be sure to execute the Navistock lottery to win. When the RBB wins in the non-lottery preferential state in which the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is not the first value and the second value, a navigation stock lottery in which one or more navistocks always win is executed. It has become.

  In addition, since the value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is maintained until the main RT state triggered by the increment processing and the main RT preparation state after the end of the main RT state, the value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is the first value. In this case, the lottery preferential state is maintained during that time. On the other hand, in the case of the second value, since the navigation stock lottery is not executed after the lottery completed flag is set, the navigation stock lottery ends.

  In addition, in the lottery preferential state in which the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 becomes the first value, when the second game mode is the real RT state, there are always three or more navigation stocks triggered by the RBB winning. Run the winning Navistock lottery. In the non-lottery preferential state in which the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is not the first value or the second value, when the RBB is won, a navigation stock lottery in which two or more navigation stocks are always won is executed. It has become.

  The instruction control unit 270 ends the lottery preferential state based on the fact that the RT round-trip counter 309 is incremented and the count value is no longer the first value.

  Further, in the gaming mode (the lottery completed flag is not set) in which the count value of the RT round-trip counter 309 is the second value (for example, a multiple of 6), for example, when the RT state transitions (for example, transition from RT2 to RT0) ) Navistock lottery. In the slot machine S of the present embodiment, when the count value becomes the second value, it also becomes the first value. Therefore, by setting the lottery preferential state, the navigation stock lottery corresponds to the second game mode. One or more Navistocks will always win.

  As a result, it is possible to continuously set the benefits of repeatedly transitioning from the RT preparation state to the RT state (hereinafter also referred to as a loop), further enhancing the expectation of the loop, and playing a game for a long time. Even so, the interest of the game will not decline.

Note that the first value and the second value are not limited to multiples (for example, the last digit may be a specific value such as “3” or “6”), and need not be related to each other. However, it is preferable that the numerical value has a predetermined regularity and appears whenever the count value increases.
Further, an arbitrary third value (for example, “7” as a fixed value) may be newly set, or a single value of only the first value or the second value may be set.

  In addition, as the first value and the second value increase, the processing related to the navigation stock may be preferentially performed. For example, as the first value and the second value are larger (for example, 6 than 6 and 12 than 6), the advantage (the number of stocks and the winning probability) of the navigation stock lottery is improved.

  Thereby, the loop expectation from RT0 to advantageous RT2 can be further increased.

  The instruction control means 270 performs a decrement process (navistock subtraction process) for decrementing the count value of the navigation counter 306 based on the display of the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay (transition to RT2). Even when the instruction (navigation) effect is executed based on the navigation stock when the push order replays A to F are won, the navigation stock subtraction process is not performed.

In other words, in this embodiment, the number of navigation stocks is synonymous with the number of times that the transition to RT2 is possible. The transition of RT2 can be managed in units of.
Specifically, at RT0, when the push order replays A to F are selected, the stop button 24L to 24R is pressed in the incorrect answer press order without following the instruction (navigation) effects, and the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is changed. Even if it is a case where it transfers to the relief state of RT1 based on having been displayed, the subtraction process of a navigation stock is performed based on having displayed the symbol combination which concerns on RT2 transfer replay.

In addition, as described above, the instruction control means 270 returns the ending profit in the ending mode in which the RBB is won after the number of games close to the upper limit number (for example, 1200G) is played in the advantageous section. In order to give it to the player, the navigation stock subtraction process is stopped.
Along with this, the execution of the navigation stock lottery (the preferential treatment for the navigation stock) is also stopped.

  At the end of the advantageous section, the ending flag and the remaining navigation stock are cleared by the initialization process described above.

  Thereby, after the transition to the ending mode, the instruction effect is executed in the real RT preparation state (RT0) until the upper limit number 1500G of the advantageous section is reached based on the remaining navigation stock, so the real RT preparation state (RT0) To the RT state (RT2) becomes easier.

  This is because, in the situation where the start timing of the ending mode is an uncertain factor of RBB winning, the number of remaining navigation stock at the time of RBB winning and the number of games to the advantageous section are not fixed in advance. In the embodiment, the process related to the ending mode that makes it easy to shift to the advantageous RT 2 until the upper limit number of remaining advantageous sections (1500 G) is reached is performed by an extremely simple process of stopping the subtraction process of the navigation stock. It is possible to do.

  In addition, since the execution of the navigation stock lottery (preferential processing related to navigation stock) is stopped, the processing load on the main board 200 can be reduced.

  Then, as described above, when the advantageous section reaches 1500G, the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section allows the remaining navigation stock to disappear, and the ending mode can be terminated. Can be managed.

  Here, the setting of the ending mode is the relationship between the advantageous section that ends when the upper limit number of games are performed or the transition to the end standby state, and RT2 in which the right to transition is forcibly extinguished when the advantageous section ends. In other words, when the end conditions are different from each other and the end condition of one gaming state is satisfied, the other gaming state is also ended, and the other gaming state is ended. In such a case, when the ending mode is set at a predetermined opportunity in a plurality of gaming states in which one gaming state also ends, for example, a part of the processing is stopped as described above, and one or By not satisfying the termination condition of the other game state, the game state of one and the other can be extended.

  In addition, the instruction control unit 270 sets the lottery preferential state flag in the main flag storage unit 302 (switches it on) to set the lottery preferential state and clears the lottery preferential state flag (switches off and maintains it). To end the lottery preferential state as a non-lottery preferential state.

  Further, the instruction control means 270 is an advantageous section, and when the count value of the navigation counter 306 is “1” or more in the above-mentioned game mode in the RT ready state (RT0), the push order replays A to F are performed. Based on the fact that one of them is won, instruction control for transmitting a command signal related to an instruction of the correct answer pressing order (instruction effect) to the sub-board 500 is executed.

  In addition, the instruction control unit 270 transmits a notification signal related to the count value information of the RT reciprocating counter 309 to the sub-board 500.

(Chance zone control means 280)
The chance zone control means 280 executes a chance zone lottery for determining a transition to a chance zone with a high expectation level of acquisition of navigation stock when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section.

  The chance zone control means 280 executes the chance zone lottery based on the transition from RT1 to RT0 in the advantageous section (a specific number of games (for example, 120G) has been played in RT1). It should be noted that there are multiple chance zones with different Navistock acquisition expectations (advantages), and depending on the type of game mode during the stay (first game mode or second game mode), the destination chance zone will be given preferential treatment. Alternatively, the chance zone lottery itself may be preferentially treated.

  Further, the chance zone control means 280 executes the chance zone lottery when the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay is displayed (RT2 transition replay display) in the first game mode described above.

  When the chance zone control means 280 wins the chance zone lottery, the chance zone control means 280 starts a chance zone of a predetermined number of games (for example, 60G). In the chance zone, the winning probability of the navigation stock lottery triggered by the RBB winning is improved compared to the non-chance zone.

The chance zone control means 280 executes a decrement process for decrementing a count value (for example, initial value = “60”) of a chance zone counter (not shown) every time one game is performed in the chance zone.
Then, based on the count value reaching a threshold value (for example, 0), the chance zone is terminated, and the initial value “60” is set again in the chance zone counter.

  The chance zone control unit 280 sets (shifts to) the chance zone by setting the CZ flag in the main flag storage unit 302 (switches on), and clears the set CZ flag (switches off). To end the chance zone.

(Addition specialized zone control means 290)
The added special zone control means 290 executes control related to the added special zone which is shifted in the bonus operating state and has a high expectation level for mass acquisition of navigation stock.

  The additional specialization zone control means 290 is based on the fact that the RBB and the symbol replay E have won the winning area at the same time, or won the battle in the RBB operation state (winning lottery win). An extra special zone lottery is executed to determine the transition to. If the bonus special zone control means 290 wins the special prize zone lottery, the special prize zone control means 290 shifts to the special zone for addition, and if it is not won, the instruction control means 270 always has one or more navigation stocks. The winning Navistock lottery is executed.

  If the count value of the advantageous section ceiling counter 305 is 1000 or more, the added special zone control unit 290 does not execute the additional special zone lottery and also executes the winning lottery during the RBB operation state by the gaming state control unit 240 Not.

  As a result of the Navistock lottery in the special zone for addition, the acquired Navistock cannot be digested even if the upper limit number of advantageous sections is reached (for example, all Navistock is used (deleted) even if 600G games are played) The player feels lost (wasted) by deleting the navigation stock that could not be digested due to the effect of the initialization process due to the reaching of the upper limit number of advantageous sections. Feeling).

  Also, the instruction control means 270 executes a game navigation stock lottery during the RBB operation state when the special control zone is entered.

  The specialization zone will start when the RBB and Symbol Replay E are elected at the same time, and will start with a transition to the RBB operating state. It starts from the next game of the lottery and ends with the end of the RBB.

  The additional specialization zone control means 290 sets (shifts to) an additional specialization zone by setting an additional specialization zone flag in the main flag storage means 302 (switching to ON) and sets the specialization addition specialization zone. Clearing the zone flag (switching it off) ends the specialization zone.

(Sub-board 500)
Based on the input of the command signal from the main board 200, the sub board 500 performs various arithmetic processes for executing an effect according to the progress of the game and when a predetermined operation is performed on the effect button 6. Based on the input of the output operation signal, arithmetic processing such as displaying game information or the like is executed, and based on the results of these arithmetic processing, the effect display device 7 that is the effect device 700, the effect lamp 8, Control of output operations such as effects by the high and mid range speakers 9 and the mid and low range speakers 17 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) is executed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the sub board 500 includes an effect control unit 510 and a sub memory 600.

  Here, the sub memory 600 includes a ROM (not shown) in which a program related to the effect in the slot machine S of the present embodiment is stored, flags used in the program related to the effect in the sub board 500, calculated values, and the like. Various types of information are stored, and a RAM (not shown) used as a work area is used. Specifically, the sub memory 600 is set with a table or the like for storing information necessary for each process performed by the effect control means 510 provided on the sub board 500, information related to the result of the process, and the like.

(Production control means 510)
The effect control means 510 executes control related to transition (start / end) of one effect state according to the game state and the game section from a plurality of kinds of effect states in order to execute the effect in accordance with the progress of the game. To do.

  The production state includes a general production state corresponding to a general state (and a non-advantageous zone), an RBB internal production state corresponding to an RBB internal state, an RBB operation production state corresponding to an RBB operation state, and an advantageous zone production corresponding to an advantageous zone. Each state is set. In the RBB operation effect state, the battle effect for exciting the winning lottery is executed over a plurality of games, and when the winning lottery is executed first, the winning lottery is executed according to the result. In such a case, by performing a predetermined chance-up lottery (for example, a lottery that improves the winning probability of the winning lottery) during the battle production, an effect or the like that increases the degree of victory expectation on the ally side on the content is performed. Furthermore, in the effect state, a chance zone effect state corresponding to the chance zone and an added special zone effect state corresponding to the added special zone are set.

  The effect control means 510 sets or clears the flag corresponding to the effect state in the sub flag storage means (not shown) set in the sub memory 600 based on the command signal related to the gaming state or the like from the main board 200. Thus, control for shifting (starting / ending) to the effect state corresponding to the command signal is executed.

  In addition, the effect control means 510 is an effect information storage area of the sub-memory 600 in which effect information is stored based on a command signal related to winning of a role or winning a prize from the main board 200 and an effect state in which the effect is staying. With reference to (not shown), a specific effect relating to a display effect executed via the effect display device 7, an acoustic effect executed via the speakers 9, 17 or an illumination effect executed via the effect lamp 8 or the like Execute control.

  For example, when the production state is the general production state, the production control means 510 uses the characters used in the slot machine S of the present embodiment to suggest winning of a role, improper election, winning, etc., or winning of the RBB The effect control related to the confirmed effect or the like for displaying the confirmation is executed.

  When the production state is the RBB internal production state, the production control means 510 continuously notifies the production device 700 of the RBB winning until the RBB wins (RBB prize production) in a special production mode different from the general production state. Production control is performed for the purpose. In addition, when the production state is the RBB operation production state, the production control means 510 notifies the winning of the small role (bell) or the like in a special production mode different from the general production state or the RBB internal state, or acquired by the RBB. The effect control for informing the number of medals paid out is executed until the RBB ends (RBB end effect).

  The effect control means 510 performs effect control for suggesting that it is advantageous for a player who is more likely to shift to RT2 with a high replay win probability when the effect state is the advantageous section effect state.

  In the advantageous section effect state, the effect control means 510 has a branch state in the game mode preparation state, a first game mode (any of an ultra-high probability state, a high probability state, a pseudo-high probability state, an end standby state), a second game Effect control according to the game situation (such as the degree of advantage) of the mode (main RT state, normal RT preparation state in normal state, main RT preparation state in relief state, RT after BNS, end waiting state) Execute. In addition, the effect control means 510 also executes a lottery in each game mode, an effect suggesting the result, and selection control at the time of mode transition.

  For example, in the first game mode, the effect control is executed such that the effect contents differ according to the expected degree of navigation stock such as the relationship of pseudo high probability state <high probability state <super high probability state.

  Further, in the second game mode, in the case of the main RT preparation state in which the transition to the main RT state is confirmed, a notification is made that the preparation state is advance to the main RT state (RT2), which is an advantageous state. The effect control for displaying the value of the preparation state counter 308 indicating the number of games executed in the main RT preparation state is executed. In the case of the main RT state, the effect control for notifying that the game state is advantageous is executed.

Also, in the real RT ready state in the relief state, the same production control as in the general production state described above is executed, but the word “waiting for return” indicating that the relief state (return to the real RT state) is possible. Until it returns to RT0 (the normal RT preparation state in the normal state) (until the specific number of games is consumed), it is displayed on the effect display device 7.
Thereby, it is possible to avoid a loss of opportunity for the player who stops the game by misunderstanding that the navigation stock (privilege) has disappeared due to an erroneous operation of the stop buttons 24L to 24R and has shifted to the general state.

  Even in the main RT preparation state in the relief state, the presentation control (overall image) in the main RT preparation state before the transition may be maintained, but in that case, the phrase “waiting for return” is displayed on the presentation display device 7. In addition to the display, effect control is performed to gray out the display of the value of the above-described preparation state counter 308 so as not to advance the count.

  When the second game mode is the real RT preparation state and there is the above-described navigation stock (the count value of the navigation counter 306 ≧ 1), the effect control means 510 transmits from the main board 200 when the push order replay is won. The effect control related to the instruction effect related to the correct answer pressing order is executed based on the command signal related to the correct answer pressing order instruction (instruction effect).

  Here, for example, in the instruction effect, in order to instruct the correct pressing order of the pressing order replay, the effect display device 7 corresponds to the image effect indicating the correct pressing order with numbers or the stop buttons 24L to 24R. Properly press the effect lamp 8 above the left reel 3L, the effect lamp 8 above the middle reel 3C, the effect lamp 8 above the right reel 3R, and the lamps (not shown) built in the stop buttons 24L to 24R. A light emission effect that lights up in order according to the order and a sound effect that outputs the correct push order to the speakers 9 and 17 by voice (for example, right! Left! Medium!) Are executed.

  When the production state is the chance zone production state, the production control unit 510 performs production control for suggesting that it is a chance zone with a high expectation degree of navigation stock acquisition.

  The production control means 510 performs production control for suggesting that the production state is an additional special zone with a high expectation level of mass acquisition of navigation stock when the production state is the specialization zone production state.

  The effect control means (notification effect control means) 510 determines the number of loops from the RT preparation state to the RT state based on the notification signal relating to the count value information of the RT round-trip counter 309 from the instruction control means 270. One of the first stage effect to the third stage effect is executed according to the determined number of loops (transition between a plurality of stages).

  Specifically, when the determined number of loops is “first value (multiple of 3) −2”, the production control unit 510 executes the first stage production, and “first value (multiple of 3) −1”. In this case, the second stage effect is executed, and in the case of “first value (multiple of 3)”, the third stage effect is executed.

Accordingly, each stage effect varies in the order of the first stage effect (second effect state), the second stage effect (second effect state), and the third stage effect (first effect state). Transition).
Here, the first stage effect corresponding to the “first value (multiple of 3) −2” loop (for example, the first loop) and the “first value (multiple of 3) −1” loop (for example, the second loop). In the second stage effect corresponding to), even if the navigation stock lottery is executed, the result of the navigation stock lottery is not notified or is difficult to notify. On the other hand, in the third stage effect corresponding to the “first value (multiple of 3)” loop (for example, the third loop), the result of the navigation stock lottery is notified regardless of the presence or absence of the navigation stock lottery (including pseudo notification). ) Or easy to do.

  In the ending state, the effect control means 510 executes the effects in the order of the first stage effect and the second stage effect excluding the third stage effect.

  Specifically, when the loop count determined after receiving the notification signal indicating that the ending flag is set is “(first value (multiple of 3) −1) −1”, the production control unit 510 first When the stage effect is executed and “(first value (multiple of 3) −1)”, the second stage effect is executed.

As described above, in the ending mode, the processing related to navigation stock (for example, navigation stock lottery) is not executed. Accordingly, the result of the navigation stock lottery is notified or only the third stage effect that is easy to notify is stopped. The first stage effect and the second stage effect that do not notify the result of the navigation stock lottery or are difficult to notify can be repeatedly executed.
That is, it is possible to appropriately control the looping effect state according to the processing status of the main board 200 with simple control.

  In the ending mode, even if navigation stock lottery, etc. is executed, the third stage effect is stopped, so that the game is appropriately performed without giving excessive expectations to the player at the end of the advantageous section. Can proceed to.

  With reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the flow of processing related to the ending mode will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when there is an ON signal from the start switch 23a due to the player pressing the start lever 23 (YES in step S100), the internal lottery means 215 executes the internal lottery (step S110). ), The advantageous section control means 250 executes an increment process for incrementing the count value of the advantageous section ceiling counter 305 (step S120). As a result, when the count value of the advantageous section ceiling counter 305 is 1200 or more (YES in step S130) and when the RBB is won (YES in step S140), the advantageous section control means 250 uses the main flag storage means. An ending flag is set in 202 (step S150), an ending mode is set, and a series of processes is terminated.

  If the RBB is not won in step S140 (NO in step S140) and the count value of the advantageous section ceiling counter 305 is 1500 (YES in step S160), the initialization process associated with the end of the advantageous section (Step S170), the ending flag and the navigation stock are cleared accordingly, the ending mode is terminated, and the series of processes is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the case of NO in steps S130 and S160, the processing after each step is omitted, and the series of processing ends.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the game is started, the internal lottery means 215 executes the internal lottery (step S200), and as a result of the lottery, one of the symbol replays A to D is won, and the symbol related to the RT2 transition replay If the combination is displayed (YES in step S210) and the transition to RT2 is confirmed and the ending flag is set in the main flag storage unit 202 (YES in step S220), the instruction control is performed. The means 270 ends the series of processes without executing the decrement process for decrementing the count value of the navigation counter 306. On the other hand, when the ending flag is not set in the main flag storage unit 202 (NO in step S220), a decrement process of the navigation counter 306 is executed (step S230).

  If NO in step S210, the subsequent processing is omitted and the series of processing ends.

As described above, after setting the ending mode (for example, after the end of the RBB after digesting the advantageous section 1200G), the decrement processing of the navigation counter 306 is not performed. In other words, the subtraction of the set number of RT2 is stopped, Since the transition to RT2 can be continued up to the upper limit number of advantageous sections (for example, 1500G) without changing the process, the process is simple and the processing load can be suppressed.
In addition, the navigation stock disappears and the ending flag is cleared by the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section, so that the ending mode can be ended and can be managed efficiently.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the following modifications and changes can be made to the above-described embodiments within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. Moreover, it is possible to combine suitably each structural member, process, conditions, etc. in said one Embodiment of this invention, and the following modification.

(Modification 1)
In the above-described embodiment, when the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed, the transition to the rescue state of the main RT preparation state or the end standby state is determined depending on the presence or absence of the navigation stock. For example, the presence or absence of navigation stock is determined at the end of the bonus (RBB), and if there is navigation stock (the count value of the navigation counter 306 ≧ 1), the first gaming state is shifted to the first gaming state. When the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed in one gaming state, the state is shifted to the relief state. Further, when there is no navigation stock at the end of the bonus (RBB) (the count value of the navigation counter 306 = 0), the game is shifted to the second gaming state, and the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed in the second gaming state. If it is, the transition to the end standby state is made.
That is, the game state (the first game state or the second game state) when the symbol combination related to the RT1 transition replay is displayed may be shifted to the rescue state or the end standby state.

(Modification 2)
In the above-described embodiment, navigation stock is given based on the number of games executed in the real RT preparation state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Count the number of winning (winning) and the number of differences (the number of medals paid out-the number of medals inserted) in which the symbol combination related to the predetermined replay is displayed. You may make it give a navigation stock based on having reached.

(Modification 3)
In the above-described embodiment, when the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in the correct pressing order when the pressing order replays A to F are selected, the symbol combination related to the maintenance replay is displayed, but the process proceeds to RT2. You may make it display the symbol combination which concerns on RT2 transfer replay. In this case, the winning probability of the symbol replays A to D may be lowered in consideration of the game balance.

  In addition, when the stop buttons 24L to 24R are pressed in the wrong answer pressing order, the symbol combination related to the maintenance replay is displayed, or the symbol combination related to the maintenance replay and the RT1 transition replay (falling replay) is displayed. You may set so that it may be.

(Modification 4)
In the above-described embodiment, even when the instruction (navigation) effect is executed based on the navigation stock when the push order replays A to F are won, the navigation stock subtraction process is not performed and the transition to RT2 is performed. The navigation stock subtraction process is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the navigation stock subtraction process may be performed when the instruction (navigation) effect is executed.

  Thus, in this modification, if the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay is displayed by itself before the instruction (navigation) effect is executed, the navigation stock can be shifted to an advantageous RT2 without being subtracted. As can be done, it is possible to adopt a gameability different from that of the above-described embodiment.

In addition, when the third modification is applied to this modification, that is, when the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay that can be shifted to RT2 is displayed as a result of pressing the stop buttons 24L to 24R in the correct pressing order, (Navigation) Production and the transition to RT2 are closely related, and the specification can be simple and easy to understand.
For example, if an operation is performed in accordance with an instruction (navigation) effect, it is possible to shift to RT2, but even if there is an instruction (navigation) effect, it is not possible to shift to RT2. . Therefore, the number of instruction (navigation) effects and the number of transitions to RT2 may not be the same.

(Modification 5)
In the above-described embodiment, the instruction control unit 270 refers to the number of round trips between the RT state and the RT preparation state, and when it reaches a predetermined number of times (first value or second value), Such processing is preferentially performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the processing related to navigation stock may be preferentially performed when the predetermined number of times is reached with reference to the number of round trips in the RT state.

Specifically, the instruction control unit 270 monitors the set state of the RT2 flag and the RT0 flag in the main flag storage unit 302, and stores the RT2 flag in the main memory 300 based on the fact that the RT2 flag is set after the RT0 flag is set. An increment process for incrementing the set count value (for example, initial value = 0) of the RT round-trip counter 309 is executed.
In the case of the above-described embodiment, only RT0 is the RT state that can be transferred to RT2, so when preferentially processing related to navigation stock, only the number of transitions to RT2 (the number of times the RT2 flag is established) is counted. Then, the number of transitions may be referred to.

  Further, the instruction control unit 270 executes a process of initializing the RT round-trip counter 309 based on the fact that there is no navigation stock from the RT0 (the count value of the navigation counter 306 = 0) and the RT control is started. When shifting to RT1 in a state where there is a navigation stock, the processing for initializing the RT round-trip counter 309 is not executed.

(Modification 6)
In the above-described embodiment, in RT0, the transition to RT2 is performed based on the display of the symbol combination related to the RT2 transition replay, and in RT2, for example, the transition to RT0 is performed based on the 30G game being performed. Each state is reciprocated in a short time. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, RT0 is assumed to be a finite RT of 300G, so that it is possible to shift to RT2 which is advantageous after performing 300G game at RT0. Thus, each state may be reciprocated over a relatively long period.

  Thereby, with reference to the number of round trips in the RT state, when the predetermined number of times is reached, the motivation for playing a game for a long period of time can be given by preferentially processing the navigation stock.

(Modification 7)
In the above-described embodiment, various game processes are executed in response to the display of the symbol combination related to RT2 transition replay (RT2 transition replay display). Instead of displaying the symbol combination, game processing may be executed based on winning of symbol replays A to D. Similarly, the game processing executed when the winning area including the RBB is won may be processed based on the display (winning) of the symbol combination related to the RBB.

(Modification 8)
In the above-described embodiment, in the ending mode, the instruction (navigation) effect is executed without restriction up to the upper limit of the advantageous section by stopping the subtraction of the navigation stock until the advantageous section ends, and thus it is repeated from RT0 to RT2. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and subtraction of the remaining number of games related to RT2 (for example, the count value of the RT state counter) may be stopped and RT2 may be continued. . Further, when managing RT2 by the number of sets, subtraction of the remaining set number (for example, the count value of a set number counter (not shown)) may be stopped so that the process can be repeatedly transferred to RT2.

Further, each time a game is executed in RT2, it is added as the number of executed times and reaches a predetermined number (for example, 30 times) (for example, a count value of an RT state counter is added to a predetermined value (for example, “30”)). When managing RT2 in such a way that it is terminated (by reaching), in the ending mode, the addition is stopped so that it does not reach a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times), and RT2 is continued until the advantageous period ends. You may make it do. In addition, when managing RT2 by the number of sets, addition to the number of executed sets (for example, the count value of a set number counter (not shown)) may be stopped so that the transition to RT2 can be repeated.
That is, RT2 can be continued by stopping the update (addition or subtraction) up to the value that becomes the termination condition of RT2.

  Here, if the number of remaining games or the number of executed games, or the number of remaining sets or the number of executed sets is displayed (or suggested) on the effect display device 7, the updating (subtraction or addition) is only stopped internally. Thus, updating (subtraction or addition) may be continuously displayed or suggested on the display on the effect display device 7. In addition, when the remaining number of games or the number of executed games in the advantageous section is displayed, the update (subtraction or addition) is displayed so as to continue without stopping.

(Modification 9)
In the above-described embodiment, the RT control means 245 controls the transition of a plurality of types of RT states so as to change the winning probability of replay. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the big bonus (RBB) winning is determined. As a trigger, a transition is made to a bonus establishment state (replay win probability is about 1 / 3.3, for example, about 1 / 3.3) in which the replay win probability is higher than the general state (replay win probability is about 1 / 7.3, for example) In the bonus establishment state, in order to assist the acquisition of medals, in an AT (assist time) state (specific state) advantageous to a player who has demonstrated an instruction (assist) function for instructing the stop position and stop order of the reels 3 A technique may be adopted in which a player is awarded a medal by increasing the winning rate of a small role by playing a game in accordance with the instruction.

  By adopting this method, when shifting to a bonus establishment state where the winning probability of replay is high, winning of the big bonus (RBB) is easily avoided by the symbol arrangement of the reel 3 and stop control, and the big bonus (RBB) Instead, a bonus establishment state in which medals can be increased according to the AT state can be continued for a long period of time.

  In the modified example, an AT round trip counter is provided instead of the RT round trip counter 309, and the round trip count between the AT state and the non-AT state is counted. According to the count value, the number of games in the AT state and the number of sets are set. A privilege can be given by executing an extra lottery that can be increased in one game, a transition lottery for shifting to a specialized zone that can be increased over a plurality of games, and the like.

In addition, a bonus counter may be provided instead of the RT round-trip counter 309 so as to count based on bonus winning or winning, and various privileges as described above may be given according to the count value.
That is, in any form of gaming state, the number of round trips between the two gaming states can be counted, and a privilege can be given according to the count value.

Further, counters related to the provision of such a privilege (any or all of RT round-trip counter 309, AT round-trip counter and bonus counter) may coexist.
In this case, for example, when a plurality of special game states that can be transferred by satisfying a predetermined transition condition are provided and the state shifts to a predetermined special game state, a plurality of counters determined in advance or according to the special game state The counter (single or plural) may be enabled and counted, and the same or different privilege may be given according to the count value of each counter. Moreover, these special counters may be always valid without providing a special game state.

  In addition, the privilege is not limited to the processing related to the navigation stock controlled by the main board 200, but, for example, suggests a rare effect (for example, setting of the slot machine S) controlled by the sub board 500 (effect control means 510). Setting suggestion effect, etc.), or any process that is useful to the player.

(Modification 10)
In the above-described embodiment, the end condition of the state in which the transition to RT2 is possible (the reciprocating state between RT2 and RT0, the specific state) is that the count value of the navigation counter 306 reaches 0, or the advantageous section is the upper limit number of times (1500G). By stopping the subtraction (update) of the count value of the navigation counter 306, it is possible to repeatedly shift to RT2 until the upper limit number of advantageous sections is reached. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a game counter other than the navigation counter 306 whose value can be updated as the game progresses (for example, a game counter that counts the number of games, a payout counter 303 that counts the number of medals paid out, a predetermined number The count value of a set number counter that counts a predetermined number of games in one gaming state as one set) reaches a predetermined end value , Winning a bonus (winning), or displaying a predetermined symbol combination (for example, winning a fall replay) is set as an end condition, and when the end condition is satisfied, End the transition enable state.
Then, it is possible to make a transition to RT2 by appropriately combining these end conditions, and in a special gaming state such as the ending mode, by controlling so as not to satisfy a predetermined end condition among the plurality of end conditions. The state can be continued in various ways.

  Specifically, the control that does not satisfy the end condition is a process of stopping the update of the count value in the case of a game counter, and in the case of bonus winning (winning), the RT state after the bonus ends (RT after the bonus) ) To RT 2, and in the case of a predetermined symbol combination display (for example, a fall replay winning), a process for returning to RT 2 from the RT state (disadvantage RT) that shifts based on the fall replay winning. is there.

  The state where the transition to RT2 is not completed is not limited to the ending mode, but may be an advantageous transition state advantageous to a player who can transition at a predetermined opportunity (for example, based on a lottery result). Good.
