Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a gaming state in which the payout ratio, which is the ratio of the payout number of the game value to the number of game values (eg, medals) inserted, is less than 100% (hereinafter, referred to as a “game state with a payout ratio of less than 100%”). (See Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-163873).

JP 2006-116010 A

  As described above, when the game state with the payout rate of less than 100% is provided, when the game state is shifted to the game state with the payout rate of 100% or more, the player feels the gap of the payout rate between both game states. be able to. Therefore, by providing a game state with a payout rate of less than 100%, there is an advantage that the expectation and excitement of the player can be increased when the game state shifts to a game state with a payout rate of 100% or more.

  However, since a gaming state with a payout rate of less than 100% is a gaming state in which the gaming value owned by the player is reduced, the interest of the player is provided when a gaming state with a payout rate of less than 100% is provided. There is still room for improvement to enhance the interest of the game in order to maintain

  Therefore, according to the present invention, even when a game state with a payout rate of less than 100% is provided, the transition to the third state, which is more advantageous than the first state and the second state, is achieved by stopping and displaying a specific symbol. An object of the present invention is to allow the player to expect and to predict the current game state, thereby making the player feel interesting when a specific symbol is stopped and displayed.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
A gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of rotating reels capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, a start switch for starting a variably displaying symbols of the plurality of rotating reels by a player's operation, and the plurality of rotations. A plurality of stop switches provided corresponding to each of the reels, for stopping the variable display of the symbols on the plurality of rotating reels individually by the player's operation after the start of the variable display of the symbols on the plurality of rotating reels. A role lottery means for performing a role lottery to determine whether or not to win a role; a rotation of the plurality of rotating reels based on a result of the role lottery by the role lottery means and an operation of the plurality of stop switches. A reel control means for stopping the game, wherein in the role lottery by the role lottery means, a transitional role in which the role related to the transition to another game state is won, and a player possession A re-playing role that is won by the role that enables the next game to be started without using a game value, and a specific role that is won by the role whose advantage changes for the player depending on the operation mode of the stop switch. , And at least a first transfer role of the transfer role can be won in the role lottery overlapping with the replaying role, and as the gaming state, the first state and the first state A second state that can be shifted and a third state that can be shifted from the first state and that is more advantageous to the player than the first state and the second state are provided. It is not possible to directly shift to the third state, and to shift to the first state based on a predetermined termination condition being satisfied, and not to win the replaying combination in the role drawing in the second state. Playing state When the first transfer role and the replaying role are overlapped and won in the role lottery in the first state, the symbol corresponding to the replaying role is the first transfer role. Is controlled so as to stop and display on a valid line prior to the symbol corresponding to the symbol, and in the third state, the first transitional role is won by the role drawing in the first state, and the first transitional state is performed. In the gaming state, the state shifts when the symbol corresponding to the role is not stopped and displayed on the active line, and during the third state, the state in which the first transitional role is won is maintained. The probability of winning the replaying game in the role drawing in the third state is set to be higher than the probability of winning the replaying game in the role drawing in the first state and the second state. And when the specific role is won by the lottery in the third state. In addition, a notification of an operation mode of the stop switch, which is advantageous to a player, is allowed.

  According to this configuration, since the winning combination in the second state does not win the re-playing combination, when the symbol corresponding to the re-playing combination is stopped and displayed on the effective line, the player is notified of the re-playing combination. Expectation can be given to the transition to the third state which is more advantageous than the first state and the second state.

  Further, according to this configuration, when the symbol corresponding to the replaying combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, the current gaming state may not be the second state in which it is not possible to directly shift to the third state. In order to determine, for example, when the second state is set to a gaming state in which the payout rate is less than 100%, it is interesting to see that the symbol corresponding to the replaying combination is stopped and displayed on an effective line, and the interest of the game is increased. Can be increased.

  Further, in this configuration, when the first transfer role and the replaying role are overlapped and won in the role drawing in the first state, the symbol corresponding to the replaying role is displayed by the reel control means. Is controlled so that it is stopped and displayed on an effective line in preference to the symbol corresponding to. Further, in this configuration, the third state shifts when the first transfer combination is won by the lottery in the first state and the symbol corresponding to the first transfer combination is not stopped and displayed on the valid line. The game state is set. In other words, in this configuration, if the first transfer combination is won by the lottery in the first state and the symbol corresponding to the first transfer combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, the transfer to the third state is performed. I can't.

  However, in this configuration, by performing the above-described control by the reel control means, the probability of winning the replaying role in the role drawing is higher than in the first state and the second state, and the specific role is won in the role drawing. In this case, it is possible to always shift to the third state in which the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch that is advantageous for the player is permitted. Therefore, according to this configuration, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game by increasing the interest of the player, as compared with a configuration in which the transition to the third state can be omitted.

  Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, further, the second state is a bonus state, the specific role is provided with a plurality of types, each of the plurality of specific roles, When the symbol corresponding to the combination is stopped and displayed on the activated line, the combination that includes the advantage with the greatest advantage for the player among the combinations included in the specific combination is included, In the role lottery in the second state, there is a specific winning mode in which a plurality of the advantageous roles are repeatedly won, and the probability that the specific lottery in the role lottery in the second state is the specific winning mode is the first state. It is equal to or greater than the probability of winning each of the plurality of specific roles in the role drawing in, and less than the total value of the probability of winning each of the plurality of specific roles in the role drawing in the first state. The second state is an operation mode of the stop switch. Regardless, payout rate is the percentage of payout of the value for a game against feed amount of the value for a game is characterized in that it is configured to be less than 100%.

  In this configuration, the second state is a gaming state in which the payout ratio, which is the ratio of the number of game value payouts to the number of game value payouts, is less than 100%, regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. Therefore, according to this configuration, the second state is changed to a case where the payout rate is less than 100% or a payout rate of 100% or more depending on the skill of the player regardless of whether or not the operation state of the stop switch is notified. It is possible to suppress giving the player a feeling of unfairness, as compared with the case where the configuration is divided into the case where

  Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, further comprises a rendering device for notifying a player of various information, and a notifying unit for notifying the various information to the rendering device, In a case where a symbol corresponding to the first transfer role can be stopped and displayed on an effective line during the third state, the notification means associates the effect device with the first transfer role under the first condition. A first notification mode for notifying a symbol is performed, and under the second condition, the notification by the effect device is performed in a second notification mode different from the first notification mode before the stop switch can be operated. Features.

  According to this configuration, the notification mode in the third state can be changed to the first notification mode or the second notification mode in accordance with the game state in the third state, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, there is further provided a fourth state in which a transition from the third state is performed when a symbol corresponding to the first transitional hand is stopped and displayed on a valid line. The transfer role is provided with a second transfer role that can be won only in the fourth state of the gaming state, and when the symbol corresponding to the second transfer role is stopped and displayed on an effective line, Transitions from the fourth state to the fifth state, the fifth state is a bonus state, and in the role lottery during the fifth state, the specific winning mode is present and the fifth state is The probability that the specific lottery mode is achieved in the role lottery is equal to or greater than the probability of winning each of the plurality of specific roles in the role lottery in the first state, and a plurality of times in the role lottery in the first state. Is less than the total value of the probability of winning each of the specified roles The fifth state is configured such that a payout ratio, which is a ratio of the number of payouts of the game value to the number of inputs of the game value, is less than 100% regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. Features.

  In this configuration, the fifth state is a gaming state in which the payout ratio, which is the ratio of the number of game value payouts to the number of game value payouts, is less than 100%, regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. Therefore, according to this configuration, the fifth state is set to a case where the payout rate is less than 100% or a payout rate of 100% or more depending on the skill of the player regardless of whether or not the operation state of the stop switch is notified. It is possible to suppress giving the player a feeling of unfairness, as compared with the case where the configuration is divided into the case where

  When "ALL1" is won by the lottery in the game state of "RB1", "11" medals are paid out regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Have been.

  When "ALL2" is won by the lottery in the gaming state of "RB1", the payout of "one" medal is performed regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Have been.

  When "ATL1" is won by the lottery in the game state of "RBBF", the first stop is the first stop switch L, the second stop is the second stop switch C, the first stop is the first stop switch L, When the second stop is stopped by the third stop switch R, the first stop is stopped by the first stop switch L, and the second stop is stopped by the fourth stop switch Q, regardless of the pressing order of the third stop and the fourth stop, The payout of “11” medals is set. That is, in this case, after the stop operation of all the stop switches 50 is completed, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the advantageous combination (PZ1) is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  Further, when "ATL1" is won by the lottery in the game state of "RBBF", the first stop is the first stop switch L, the second stop is the second stop switch C, and the first stop is the first stop switch. L, a third stop switch R for the second stop, a first stop switch L for the first stop, a fourth stop switch Q for the second stop, and a third stop and a fourth stop when the stop operation is performed in a pressing order other than the fourth stop switch Q. Regardless of the pressing order, the payout of “one” medal is set. That is, in this case, after the stop operation of all the stop switches 50 is completed, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the small wins (eg, PZ18) other than the advantageous wins is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  As described above, in the case of winning the “AT combination (ATL1 to ATQ3)” in the combination lottery in the game state of “RBBF”, if the correct answer is the push order of the first stop and the second stop, the payout of 11 medals is obtained. The setting is made so that if one answers incorrectly in the pressing order of the first stop and the second stop, one medal is paid out. In the case of "RBBF", unlike in the case of "RT0", if the correct order of pressing the first stop is always correct, the order of pressing the second stop is always correct. Therefore, it is easier to win the AT combination than in the case of "RT0".

  In the case of winning the "1 sheet combination (SP1 or SP2)" in the combination lottery in the game state of "RBBF", regardless of the pushing order from the first stop to the fourth stop, the medal of the "1 sheet" is determined. Payment is set to be made.

  In the case where "ATL1" is won in the lottery in the gaming state of "RBBN", when the first stop is stopped by the first stop switch L and the second stop is stopped by the second stop switch C, the third stop and the third stop are performed. Regardless of the pressing order of the 4 stops, the payout of “11” medals is set. That is, in this case, after the stop operation of all the stop switches 50 is completed, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the advantageous combination (PZ1) is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  Further, when "ATL1" is won by the lottery in the game state of "RBBN", the stop operation is performed in the order of pressing other than the first stop switch L for the first stop and the second stop switch C for the second stop. In some cases, the payout of “one” medal is set regardless of the pressing order of the third stop and the fourth stop. That is, in this case, after the stop operation of all the stop switches 50 is completed, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the small wins (eg, PZ18) other than the advantageous wins is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  As described above, in the case of winning the "AT combination (ATL1 to ATQ3)" in the combination lottery in the game state of "RBBN", if the correct answer is the push order of the first stop and the second stop, the payout of 11 medals will be obtained. The setting is made so that if one answers incorrectly in the pressing order of the first stop and the second stop, one medal is paid out. In this “RBBN”, similarly to “RT0”, in order to pay out 11 medals, the first stop and the second stop must be answered in the correct order in order to pay out. It is difficult to win the role.

  In the case of winning the "1 sheet combination (SP1 or SP2)" in the combination lottery in the game state of "RBBN", regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop, the medal of "1 sheet" is obtained. Payment is set to be made.

  When "ATL1" is won by the lottery in the game state of "RBBRB2F", "11" medals are paid out regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Have been. That is, in this case, after the stop operation of all the stop switches 50 is completed, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the advantageous combination (PZ1) is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  As described above, in the case of winning the “AT combination (ATL1 to ATQ3)” in the combination lottery in the game state of “RBBRB2F”, 11 medals are obtained regardless of the pushing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Is set to be paid out.

  In the case of winning a "1 sheet combination (SP1 or SP2)" in the combination lottery in the game state of "RBBRB2F", regardless of the pushing order from the first stop to the fourth stop, the medal of "1 sheet" is obtained. Payment is set to be made.

  When "ALL1" is won in the role lottery in the game state of "RBBRB2", "11" medals are paid out regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Have been.

  If "ALL2" is won in the role lottery in the game state of "RBBRB2", "1" medal is paid out regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Have been.

Next, with reference to FIG. 12, a description will be given of an advantageous section shift combination relating to shifting to an advantageous section.
As shown in FIG. 12, "NRPSB", "NRPNB", "NRRPB", "CRPSB", "CRPNB", "CRPRB", "SRPSB", "SRPNB", Or, if the player wins “SP2”, it is set to shift to the advantageous section. Note that the replay roles “NRPSB”, “NRPNB”, “NRRPB”, “CRPSB”, “CRPNB”, “CRPRB”, “SRPSB”, and “SRPNB” are a single replay role and “RBB”. (See FIG. 10), but only the case where “RBB” has been won is the “advantageous section shift hand”.

In addition, it is set to shift to the advantageous section when winning in “SP2” in the role lottery in the gaming state of “RB1”.
As described above, the gaming state in which the transition to the advantageous section is possible is “RT0” or “RB1”. Then, as will be described in detail later, the process shifts to the advantageous section based on the winning of “NRPSB”, “NRPNB”, “NRRPB”, “CRPSB”, “CRPNB”, “CRPRB”, “SRPNB”, or “SRPNB”. In this case, the transfer destination is set to the “AT state”, and when the shift to the advantageous section is performed based on the winning of “SP2”, the transfer destination is set to the “high-accuracy state”.

(Explanation of game state using FIG. 13)
Next, a gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The gaming state is managed by the main control means 200, and is roughly divided into a normal state, a first bonus state, a bonus inside medium state, and a second bonus state as shown in FIG.

(Normal state)
The normal state is controlled by the normal state control unit 251. In the present embodiment, the normal state includes “RT0” as the first state.
The probability of winning the replay combination in RT0 is normally set to (1 / 7.3).

  The bonus transfer role “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)” was won in the winning lottery at RT0, and the combination of the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)” was stopped and displayed on the activated line 86. In this case, the state shifts from the normal state to the first bonus state. Further, when the bonus transfer combination “RBB” is won by the lottery at RT0, the state is shifted from the normal state to the bonus inside state.

  Here, as described above, the winning combination group “RBB” including the bonus transfer role “RBB” is not subject to the lottery alone, and “NRPSB + RBB”, “NRPNB + RBB”, “NRRPB + RBB”, “CRPSB + RBB”, Winning group "NRPSB", "NRPNB", "NRPRB", "CRPSB", "CRPNB", "CRRPB", "SRPSB", such as "CRPNB + RBB", "CRPRB + RBB", "SRPSB + RBB", or "SRPNB + RBB" , Or "SRPNB", and becomes a lottery target.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control means 220 determines that the combination of the symbol 61 corresponding to the replay combination is obtained when the bonus transfer combination “RBB” and the replay combination are won in the combination lottery during RT0. Control is performed so as to be stopped and displayed on the activated line 86 prior to the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB”. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the game that has been won as the bonus transfer role “RBB” in the role drawing during RT0, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB” is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86. Therefore, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the replay combination is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the transition from the "normal state" to the "second bonus state" is always made via the "inside bonus state".

(1st bonus state)
The first bonus state is controlled by the first bonus state control unit 253, and in the normal state, is won the bonus transfer role “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)” and corresponds to the bonus transfer role “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)”. When the combination of the symbols 61 to be displayed is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, the process is shifted.

  Here, in the normal state, when the bonus transfer role “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)” is won, no matter what timing the stop switches L, C, R, and Q are stopped, the relevant stop switch must be operated. The combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)” is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  Specifically, the Bell 1 symbol (A1) is on the first rotating reel 64, the Bell 2 symbol (A2) is on the second rotating reel 66 and the fourth rotating reel 69, and the green seven symbol (G7) and the bar 1 symbol ( BB), the bar 2 symbol (BW), or the blank 2 symbol (B2), regardless of the timing at which the stop switches L, C, R, and Q are stopped on the third rotating reel 68, It is arranged in the range which can be pulled in on the effective line 86. Therefore, in the normal state, when the bonus transfer role “RB1 (RB1A to RB1D)” is won, the Bell 1 symbol (A1) always stops on the activated line 86 on the first rotating reel 64 and the second rotating reel In the 66 and the fourth spinning reels 69, the bell 2 symbol (A2) always stops on the effective line 86, and in the third spinning reel 68, the green seven symbol (G7), the bar 1 symbol (BB), Either the bar 2 symbol (BW) or the blank 2 symbol (B2) stops.

  In the present embodiment, the first bonus state includes “RB1” as a second state that can be shifted from RT0.

  The RB1 cannot directly shift to "RBBF" described later, shifts to RT0 based on a predetermined end condition being satisfied, and is set to a gaming state in which the replay role is not won by the role lottery in RB1. I have. That is, the probability of winning the replay combination in RB1 is “0”.

  Here, in the lottery in RB1, there is “ALL1” as a specific winning mode in which a plurality of advantageous roles (PZ1 to PZ16) are overlapped and won. In the role lottery during RB1, the probability of winning “ALL1” is equal to or greater than the probability of winning each of a plurality of AT roles (each of ATL1 to ATQ3) in the role lottery during RT0. It is less than the total value of the probabilities of winning each of the plurality of AT roles (each of ATL1 to ATQ3) in the role lottery.

  In addition, in the role lottery in RB1, "SP1", "SP2", or "ALL2" is a lottery target in addition to "ALL1" (see FIG. 10), and the winning role group other than "ALL1" is In any case, the payout of “one” medal is set regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop (see FIG. 11). In addition, "losing" is provided in the role lottery in RB1.

  As described above, RB1 is such that the probability of winning the replay role in the role drawing in RB1 is “0”, and the probability of winning “ALL1” in the role drawing in RB1 is set as described above. The winning combination groups other than "ALL1" receive the "1" medal regardless of the pushing order, and the number of medals to be inserted is determined by the fact that "losing" is provided in the role drawing in RB1. The payout rate, which is the ratio of the number of paid out medals to the payout rate, is lower than RT0. In the present embodiment, the payout rate during RB1 is configured to be less than 100% regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 50.

  RB1 satisfies the above-mentioned predetermined termination condition by winning eight times or playing games 12 times. Then, after the end of RB1, the process moves to RT0.

(Bonus internal state)
The inside bonus state is controlled by the inside bonus state control means 252, and the winning combination "RBB" is won by the lottery during RT0, and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the winning bonus "RBB" is an active line. This is a game state to be shifted to when no stop is displayed on 86. During the bonus inside medium state, the state where the bonus transfer combination “RBB” is won is maintained. In the present embodiment, the bonus inside medium state includes “RBBF” as a third state that can be shifted from RT0 and is more advantageous to the player than RT0 and RB1.

The probability of winning the replay role in the role lottery during RBBF is set to be higher than the probability of winning the replay role in the role lottery during RT0 and RB1.
During the RBBF, when the player wins the AT combination by the lottery in the RBBF, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 which is advantageous to the player, that is, the notification of the correct pressing order is allowed. In the lottery in RBBF, "losing" is provided as in RB1.

  The RBBF ends by stopping and displaying the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB” on the activated line 86. Then, after the end of RBBF, the process proceeds to RBBN to be described later.

(2nd bonus state)
The second bonus state is controlled by the second bonus state control means 254.
In the present embodiment, the second bonus state includes “RBBN”, “RBBBRB2F”, and “RBBBRB2”.

  “RBBN” as the fourth state is shifted to when the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus shift combination “RBB” is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86 in RBBF. The probability of winning the replay combination in the RBBN is set to “0”.

  “RBBRB2F” is won in the RBBN when the bonus transfer combination “RB2” is won and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RB2” is not stopped and displayed on the activated line 86. The probability of winning the replay combination in RBBRB2F is the same as that in RBBF.

  In the fifth state, “RBBRB2” is won in the RBBN when the bonus transfer combination “RB2” is won and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RB2” is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86. I do. The probability of winning the replay combination in RBBRB2 is set to “0”.

  Here, in the role lottery in RBBRB2, as in RB1, there is “ALL1” in which a plurality of advantageous roles (PZ1 to PZ16) overlap and win. Then, in the role lottery in RBBRB2, like in RB1, the probability of winning in "ALL1" is equal to or higher than the probability of winning in each of a plurality of AT roles (each of ATL1 to ATQ3) in the role lottery in RT0. In addition, it is less than the total value of the probability of winning each of the plurality of AT combinations (each of ATL1 to ATQ3) in the combination lottery during RT0.

  In the role lottery during RBBRB2, besides "ALL1", "ALL2" is a lottery target (see FIG. 10), and "ALL2" is regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. , And the payout of “one” medal is performed (see FIG. 11). In the lottery in RBBRB2, "losing" is provided in the same manner as in RB1.

  As described above, RBBRB2 is such that the probability of winning the replay role in the role drawing in RBBRB2 is “0”, and the probability of winning “ALL1” in the role drawing in RBBRB2 is set as described above. "ALL2", which is a lottery target other than "ALL1", will be picked up because the "1" medal is paid out regardless of the pushing order, and "Loss" is provided in the role lottery in RBBRB2. The rate is lower than RT0. In the present embodiment, the payout rate in RBBRB2 is configured to be less than 100% regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 50.

RBBRB2 ends with eight winnings or twelve games. Then, after the end of RBBRB2, the process shifts to RBBN.
Here, the second bonus state ends with the payout of medals exceeding a predetermined number, for example, 32. After the end of the second bonus state, the state shifts to the normal state.

(Description of production state using FIG. 14)
Next, an effect state will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, in the present embodiment, a “normal section” in which the display of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 advantageous for the player is not performed, and the display of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 advantageous for the player are displayed. There is an “advantage section” that can be performed.

(Normal section)
The normal section is a section excluding the advantageous section, and is a section in which the display of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 which is advantageous for the player is not performed, that is, the AT game cannot be performed. Therefore, if the normal section is continued, as a result, the total number of medals owned by the player is reduced. “Normal section” includes “normal state”.

(Normal state)
The “normal state” is a state excluding the “high-accuracy state”, the “AT state”, and the “CZ state” belonging to the “advantaged section”, and is controlled by the normal state control unit 261. In this normal state, if the player wins the advantageous section shift combination (see FIG. 12) in the role lottery when the gaming state is “RT0” or “RB1”, the “AT state” or the “high-accuracy state” belonging to the advantageous section Move to. It should be noted that the player may stay in “RBBF” as a game state during the normal state. For example, the gaming state in the normal state which has been shifted based on the termination of the CZ state is “RBBF”. Then, during the above-described normal state in which the gaming state is “RBBF”, when the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB” can be stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, The first notification mode is performed by the notification unit 510 because the “one condition” is satisfied.

(Advantageous section)
The “advantageous section” is a section which can be shifted from the normal section and can display the order of pressing the stop switch 50 which is advantageous for the player. That is, the “advantageous section” is a section in which an AT game is permitted.

  Here, when the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section, that is, the transition from the normal state to the high-accuracy state or the AT state, the counting means 280 indicates the upper limit number of games that can be played in one advantageous section. The value (1500) corresponding to “1500 games” is set in the advantageous section elapsed game number counter 281. When the normal state is shifted to the high-accuracy state or the AT state, the game history monitoring means 290 starts monitoring (counting) the maximum number of balls held by the player in the advantageous section.

In the advantageous section, the upper limit of the game in the section is determined, and the transition to the normal section is made when the upper limit is reached.
The “upper limit of games in the advantageous section” includes the case where the upper limit number of games that can be played in one advantageous section has passed 1500 games and the maximum number of players in the one advantageous section is “2400 ”(So-called MY2400 sheets) and two types are provided. And when either of these two types of upper limits is satisfied, the advantageous section ends and the routine shifts to the normal section.

  Specifically, when the value of the advantageous section elapsed game number counter 281 counted by the counting means 280 becomes “0”, the effect state control means 260 shifts from the advantageous section to the normal section. When the maximum number of balls held by the player in one advantageous section monitored by the game history monitoring means 290 reaches “2400”, the effect state control means 260 shifts from the advantageous section to the normal section. Is done.

  Here, the “advantageous section” includes a “high-accuracy state”, an “AT state”, and a “CZ state”.

(High accuracy state)
The high-accuracy state belongs to the “advantageous section” and waits for a transition to the special AT state, and is controlled by the high-accuracy state control unit 262. From “normal section” to “advantageous section”, specifically, from “normal state” to “high-precision state”, the effect state is “normal state” and the gaming state is “RT0” or “RB1”. The transition is made based on the winning of the advantageous section shifting combination “SP2” (see FIG. 12) by the lottery drawing in the case. It should be noted that, based on the fact that the production state is the “normal state” and the gaming state is “RT0” or “RB1”, the winning lottery lottery “SP2” (see FIG. 12) is won in the role lottery. The transfer destination lottery is performed by the transfer lottery means 270, and the transfer destination high accuracy state (first high accuracy state or second high accuracy state) is determined.

  In the present embodiment, when the state shifts to the first high-accuracy state, one continuation right (so-called winning stock or continuation stock) for continuing the AT state is given, and the state shifts to the second high-accuracy state. In such a case, the continuation right is not granted. Therefore, in the high accuracy state, the first high accuracy state is more advantageous for the player than the second high accuracy state. If the “continuation right” is held at the end of the AT state, the continuation right is consumed by “1” and the AT state can be performed again.

  The high-accuracy state (the first high-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state) is a state in which the normal state in the normal section is continued, and the effect similar to the normal state is notified to the staging device 70 by the notification means 510. You.

  In the high-accuracy state (the first high-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state), a game period of 10 games is provided, and based on the transition to the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy game number counter 282 of the counting means 280. , A value (10) corresponding to the number of highly accurate games (10 games) is set. Then, if the bonus lottery “RBB” is won by the lottery before the value of the high-accuracy game number counter 282 counted by the counting means 280 becomes “0”, the high-accuracy state is ended, and the AT state, Specifically, the state shifts to the special AT state. In this case, a special AT state transfer destination lottery is performed by the transfer lottery means 270, and the transfer destination special AT state (first special AT state or second special AT state) is determined. In other words, the AT state that shifts from the high-accuracy state is a special AT state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal AT state.

  On the other hand, if the value of the high-accuracy game number counter 282 counted by the counting means 280 becomes “0” without winning the bonus shifter “RBB” in the winning lottery in the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy state is established. The process is terminated, and shifts to the normal state.

(AT state)
The AT state is a state in which an AT game that belongs to the “advantageous section” and in which the winning order of the winning combination is notified is performed, and is controlled by the AT state control unit 263. In this AT state, by operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified pressing order, for example, the combination of the symbols 61 of the winning small combination can be stopped and displayed, and a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are obtained. be able to.

  The AT state may be shifted from a normal state belonging to a normal section, or may be shifted from a highly accurate state belonging to an advantageous section.

  From the normal state to the AT state, the effect state is “normal state”, and in the case of the game state being “RT0”, the advantageous section shift combination “NRPSB”, “NRPNB”, “NRRPB”, “CRPSB” in the role lottery. , "CRPNB", "CRPRB", "SRPSB", or "SRPNB" (see FIG. 12). Then, as described above, these replay combinations only become “advantageous section transition combinations” when the winning combination overlaps with the bonus transition combination “RBB”. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it can be said that the state shifts from the normal state to the AT state based on the winning of the bonus transfer role “RBB”. Note that, based on the winning of the above-mentioned advantageous section shift combination, the AT state shift destination lottery is performed by the shift lottery means 270, and the transfer destination AT state (normal AT state, first special AT state, or second special AT state). State) is determined.

From the high-accuracy state to the AT state, specifically, the special AT state, as described above, before the value of the high-accuracy game number counter 282 counted by the counting means 280 becomes “0”, a bonus shift is performed by the role lottery. The transition is made based on the winning of the role "RBB".
Here, the AT state includes a normal AT state and a special AT state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal AT state.

(Normal AT state)
The normal AT state is an AT state excluding the special first AT state or the second special AT state.
The transition to the normal AT state is made when the transition from the normal state to the AT state is selected as the transition destination in the AT state in the AT state transition destination lottery performed by the transition lottery means 270.

  In the normal AT state, when the player wins the AT combination by the lottery in the normal AT state, a notification effect in which the pressing order of the correct answer corresponding to the AT combination is notified to the effect device 70 by the notification means 510.

  The normal AT state ends when the pressing order is notified ten times, that is, when the notification effect by the notification means 510 is performed ten times. Then, based on the end of the normal AT state, the CZ state transition lottery is performed by the transition lottery means 270, and when the CZ state transition lottery is won, the state shifts to the CZ state and the CZ state transition lottery is won. If not, it shifts to the normal state.

(Special AT state)
The special AT state is an AT state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal AT state. The special AT state includes a first special AT state and a second special AT state.

(First special AT state)
The state transitions to the first special AT state when the state is selected as the transition destination in the AT state in the AT state transition destination lottery performed by the transition lottery means 270 when transitioning from the normal state to the AT state.

In the first special AT state, the special AT state transition destination lottery performed by the transition lottery means 270 when transitioning from the high-precision state to the AT state is performed when the transition destination in the AT state is selected. Transition.
In addition, the game is shifted to the first special AT state when a "transition to the first special AT state" is won in the special AT state shift lottery performed by the shift lottery means 270 in each game in the CZ state.

In the first special AT state, a notification effect is notified to the effect device 70 by the notification means 510, as in the normal AT state.
The first special AT state ends when the pressing order is notified 30 times, that is, when the notification effect by the notification unit 510 is performed 30 times. Then, when the first special AT state ends, the state shifts to the CZ state.

(2nd special AT state)
The state transitions to the second special AT state when the state is selected as the transition destination in the AT state in the AT state transition destination lottery performed by the transition lottery means 270 when transitioning from the normal state to the AT state.

The second special AT state includes a special AT state transition destination lottery performed by the transition lottery means 270 when transitioning from the high-precision state to the AT state. Transition.
Further, the game is shifted to the second special AT state when the player has won the "transition to the second special AT state" in the special AT state shift lottery performed by the shift lottery means 270 in each game in the CZ state.

In the second special AT state, as in the normal AT state and the first special AT state, the notification effect is notified to the effect device 70 by the notification means 510.
The second special AT state ends when the pressing order is notified 20 times, that is, when the notification effect by the notification unit 510 is performed 20 times. Then, when the second special AT state ends, the state shifts to the CZ state.

(CZ state)
The CZ state belongs to the “advantageous section” and is a state in which it is determined whether to shift to the normal state or to the AT state.
In the CZ state, when the CZ state transfer lottery performed by the transfer lottery means 270 based on the end of the normal AT state is won, or a special AT state (a first special AT state and a second special AT state) is set. Move when finished.

  In the CZ state, a game period of 32 games is provided, and based on the transition to the CZ state, the CZ game number counter 283 of the counting means 280 stores a value (32) corresponding to the number of CZ games (32 games). Is set.

  In the CZ state, a special AT state transition lottery by the transition lottery means 270 is performed in each game in the CZ state. In this special AT state transition lottery, if a "transition to the first special AT state" or a "transition to the second special AT state" is won, a special game corresponding to the lottery result from the next game won. Transition to the AT state.

  If the value of the CZ game number counter 283 counted by the counting means 280 becomes “0” during the CZ state without winning the special AT state transition lottery, the CZ state is terminated and the normal Move to state.

  In the present embodiment, when the transition from the advantageous section to the normal section is performed, information on the advantageous section before the transition (eg, flag information indicating that the game is an AT game, information indicating the number of remaining games in the AT game, Flag information indicating continuation or non-continuation) is initialized.

(Correspondence between game state and production state)
Next, an example of the correspondence between the gaming state and the effect state will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following example, the initial game state is “RT0 or RB1”, and the initial effect state is “normal state”.

First, an example using FIG. 15 will be described.
In FIG. 15, first, the winning state transition combination "NRPSB + RBB" is won by the lottery in which the gaming state is "RT0" and the production state is "normal state". Since “NRPSB + RBB” is also an advantageous section shift combination and a bonus shift combination “RBB”, the gaming state shifts from “RT0” to “RBBF” ((1) shown in FIG. 15). In the present embodiment, as described above, when “NRPSB + RBB” is won, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the replay combination “NRPSB” corresponds to the bonus transfer combination “RBB” by the reel control means 220. Since the stop display is controlled on the activated line 86 prior to the combination of the symbols 61 to be performed, the gaming state always transitions from “RT0” to “RBBF”.

  In addition, based on the winning of the advantageous section shift combination “NRPSB + RBB”, the effect state shifts from “normal state” to “AT state (example: first special AT state)” ((1) shown in FIG. 15).

  Here, in the example shown in FIG. 15, the game state is “RBBF” from the transition of the effect state to the “AT state (example: first special AT state)” to the end of the “CZ state”. Have stayed.

  When the game state is “RBBF” and the effect state is “AT state (eg: first special AT state)”, an AT game is performed. Then, when the pressing order of the specified number of times (eg, 30 times) is notified during the “AT state (eg, first special AT state)”, the effect state is changed to the “AT state (eg, first special AT state)”. State)) to the “CZ state” ((2) shown in FIG. 15).

  On the other hand, when the game state is “RBBF” and the effect state is “CZ state”, the AT game is not performed. Then, during the “CZ state”, if the specified number of games (32 games) has been consumed and the special AT state transition lottery has not been won within the specified number of games, the effect state is changed to the “CZ state”. To "normal state" ((3) shown in FIG. 15).

  When the game state is “RBBF” and the production state is “normal state”, “Loss” is drawn in the role lottery, and the combination of the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB” is displayed on the activated line 86. The stop display is enabled, and accordingly, the notification means 510 notifies the effect device 70 of the first notification mode. Then, when the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB” is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, the gaming state is changed from “RBBF” to “RBBN” ((4) shown in FIG. 15). ). When the game state is “RBBF” and the staging state is “AT state” or “CZ state” and “Loss” is drawn in the role lottery, the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB” is displayed. Although the combination can be stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, the second notification mode is notified to the staging device 70 by the notification means 510. Therefore, based on the second notification mode, the player can change the combination of the symbols 61 described above. Stop display on the valid line 86 can be avoided.

  If the winning combination lottery "RB2" is won in the lottery during "RBBN" and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transferring combination "RB2" is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, the gaming state is " The transition is made from "RBBN" to "RBBBB2" ((5) shown in FIG. 15). In addition, as described above, when the bonus lottery “RB2” is won in the role lottery during “RBBN”, before the stop switch 50 can be operated, the notification unit 510 effects the third notification mode. The notification by the device 70 is performed. FIG. 15 shows a case where, for example, the player stops and displays the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RB2” on the activated line 86 without noticing the third notification mode, or A case is shown in which the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RB2” is intentionally stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, although the three notification modes are noticed.

  When eight prizes are won during “RBBRB2”, or when 12 games are played during “RBBBRB2” (when 12 games are consumed), the game state is changed from “RBBRB2” to “ RBBN ”((6) shown in FIG. 15).

  If medals exceeding a specified number (32) are paid out during the "second bonus state (example: RBBN)", the gaming state is changed from "second bonus state (example: RBBN)" to "RT0". ((7) shown in FIG. 15).

  In the example shown in FIG. 15, while the game state is from "RBBN" to "RT0", the effect state is in the "normal state". Then, when the gaming state is “RT0” and the staging state is “normal state”, the “gaming state” and the “staging state” as described above are again performed based on the winning of the advantageous section shift combination. Is performed.

Next, an example using FIG. 16 will be described while omitting overlapping parts with FIG.
In FIG. 16, although the bonus lottery “RB2” was won in the lottery during “RBBN”, the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus lottery “RB2” was not stopped and displayed on the activated line 86. The state shifts from "RBBN" to "RBBBRB2F" ((5) shown in FIG. 16). FIG. 16 shows a case where, for example, the player notices the third notification mode and intentionally does not stop and display the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RB2” on the payline 86.

  As described above, in the case of winning the "AT combination (ATL1 to ATQ3)" in the combination lottery in the "RBBRB2F", eleven medals are paid out regardless of the pressing order from the first stop to the fourth stop. Is performed (see FIG. 11). When medals exceeding the specified number (32) are paid out during "RBBRB2F", the gaming state shifts from "RBBBRB2F" to "RT0" ((6) shown in FIG. 16). .

Next, an example using FIG. 17 will be described while omitting an overlapping part with FIG. 15 or FIG. 16.
In FIG. 17, first, based on the fact that the gaming state is “RT0 or RB1 (example: RT0)” and the production state is “normal state”, it is determined that the advantage section transition combination “SP2” has been won in the role lottery. The state shifts from the "normal state" to the "high-accuracy state (example: first high-accuracy state)" ((1) shown in FIG. 17). In this case, the game state is maintained at “RT0”.

  When the gaming state is “RT0” and the staging state is “high-accuracy state (eg, first high-accuracy state)”, and the bonus lottery “RBB” (advantageous section shifter “NRPSB + RBB”) is won in the role lottery. , The gaming state shifts from “RT0” to “RBBF” ((2) shown in FIG. 17).

  Further, based on the winning of the bonus transfer role “RBB” (the advantageous section transfer role “NRPSB + RBB”), the effect state changes from “high-accuracy state (example: first high-accuracy state)” to “special AT state (example: first Special AT state) ”((2) shown in FIG. 17). The gaming state is "RT0" and the staging state is "high-accuracy state (example: first high-accuracy state)". ) Is completed, the effect state shifts from the “high-accuracy state (eg, the first high-accuracy state)” to the “normal state”.

(Explanation of basic flow of game using FIG. 18)
A general game control process executed by the main control means 200 for each game will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the bet number cannot be set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets for the game has reached a specified number of bets (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery means 210 executes a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 500. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

  In step S12, rotation fluctuation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is executed. When the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating reel 62 is operated after the rotating reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, the reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotating reel 62. At this time, the pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switches 50 (the first stop switch L, the second stop switch C, the third stop switch R, and the fourth stop switch Q) is determined by a predetermined order formed in the main control means 200. And is read out in the subsequent processing.

  Further, after all the stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of the full rotation reel 62 is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 500. When the rotation fluctuation processing of all the reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.

  In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 executes a stop symbol determination process for determining whether or not the combination of the symbols 61 on the activated line 86 has a predetermined combination of symbols 61. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 500. Then, when the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout providing means 240 executes a payout providing process corresponding to the determination result of the stopped symbol determining means 230. If the result of the determination indicates that payout or the like is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Operation and effect of the present embodiment)
According to this embodiment, since the replay combination is not won in the combination lottery in RB1, when the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the replay combination is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, the player is Expectation can be given to the transition to RBBF which is more advantageous than RT0 and RB1.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the replay combination is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, it is determined that the current gaming state is not RB1 which cannot directly shift to RBBF. In order to determine, as described above, when the RB1 is set to the gaming state with the payout rate of less than 100%, it is interesting that the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the replay combination is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, Enhance the interest of the game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the bonus transfer role “RBB” and the replay role are overlapped and won in the role lottery during RT0, the combination of the symbol 61 corresponding to the replay role is determined by the reel control means 220. It is controlled to stop and display on the activated line 86 in preference to the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the RBBF wins the bonus transfer role “RBB” in the role drawing during RT0, and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB” is not stopped and displayed on the activated line 86. The game state is shifted to when the game state is reached. In other words, if the winning combination during the RT0 is won by the bonus transfer combination “RBB” and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB” is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86, the RBBF is displayed. No migration.

  However, in the present embodiment, by performing the above-described control by the reel control means 220, the probability of winning the replay combination in the combination lottery is higher than RT0 and RB1, and the execution of the AT game is permitted. You can always move to RBBF. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game by increasing the interest of the player, as compared with a configuration in which the shift to the RBBF can be omitted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, RB1 is in a gaming state in which the payout rate is less than 100% regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 50. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the RB1 is set to less than 100% depending on the skill of the player regardless of whether or not the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is informed. It is possible to suppress the player from feeling unfair as compared to the case where the above case is separated.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the notification mode in the RBBF can be changed to the first notification mode or the second notification mode in accordance with the game situation of the RBBF, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the player state is “RBBF” and “Loss” is drawn in the role lottery in which the production state is “Normal state”, the notification unit 510 sends the information to the production device 70. A first notification mode (for example, an image prompting the player to align four bar 2 symbols (BW) on the activated line 86 is displayed on the display unit 84) is notified. Thus, according to the present embodiment, after the “AT state” and the “CZ state” with a high medal acquisition expectation are completed, the symbol corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB” is appropriately given to the player. It can be prompted to stop display the 61 combinations on the activated line 86.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the game state is “RBBF” and the production state is “AT state” or “CZ state” and “Loss” is drawn in the role drawing, the notification device 510 uses the production device. A second notification mode (for example, outputting a specific sound from the speaker 72) is notified to 70. Thus, according to the present embodiment, during the execution of the “AT state” and the “CZ state” with a high medal acquisition expectation, the player activates the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role “RBB”. Stop display on the line 86 can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, RBBRB2 is set to a gaming state in which the payout rate is less than 100% regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 50. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, regardless of whether or not the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is informed, the RBBRB2 is set to a case where the payout rate is less than 100% or 100% depending on the skill of the player. It is possible to suppress the player from feeling unfair as compared to the case where the above case is separated.

(Other)
In the present embodiment, the second state is “RB1”, but the second state is not limited to the bonus state and may be another state. For example, the second state may be other than the bonus state, and may be another state in which the lottery for shifting to the third state is not performed. Then, when the second state is set to “another state” other than the above-described bonus state, the transfer combination is not a “bonus transfer combination” but a transfer related to the transition to the other state.

  In the present embodiment, the gaming value is “medal”, but the gaming value is not limited to a physical object such as a medal. For example, when the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is a managed gaming machine that manages electronic data, the gaming value may be “electronic data” used in a game in the managed gaming machine.

  In the present embodiment, the AT combination as a specific combination in which the degree of advantage for the player changes according to the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is configured such that the number of medals given to the player differs according to the pressing order of the stop switch 50. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the AT combination as the specific combination may be configured such that whether or not the lottery for obtaining the continuation right for continuing the AT state is performed depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 50, It may be configured such that whether or not a lottery for adding the number of games for adding the number of games is performed is different. Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of game states are provided. However, the advantage for the player who changes in the AT combination depends on the pressing order of the stop switch 50 in at least one of the plurality of game states. It just needs to change.

  In the present embodiment, the bonus transfer role “RBB” is determined to overlap with the replay role. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of the bonus transfer combination “RBB” may be elected to overlap with the replay combination. In addition, the winning that overlaps with the bonus transfer combination “RBB” is not limited to the replay combination, but may be another combination (eg, a small combination).

  In the present embodiment, as the first notification mode, the notification unit 510 causes the display unit 84 to display an image prompting the player to align four bar 2 symbols (BW) on the activated line 86. That is, the same combination as the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB” (see FIG. 7) is notified to the player. However, the first notification mode is not limited to notifying the player of the same combination as described above. For example, the symbol 61 (bar 2 symbol (BW)) corresponding to the bonus transfer symbol “RBB” and the outer shape A similar combination of other symbols 61 may be displayed on the display unit 84. The number of the symbols 61 displayed on the display unit 84 in the first notification mode is not limited to four, but may be one, two, or three. Further, as a first notification mode, the display unit 84 of the production device 70 is not limited to being used alone, and the speaker 72 or the production lamp 78 may be used alone, or the display unit 84, the speaker 72, or the production The lamp 78 may be used in combination.

  In the present embodiment, as a second notification mode different from the first notification mode, a specific sound is output from the speaker 72 by the notification unit 510 before the stop switch 50 can be operated. However, the second notification mode is not limited to using the speaker 72 of the effect device 70 alone, and the display unit 84 or the effect lamp 78 may be used alone, or the display unit 84, the speaker 72, or the effect The lamp 78 may be used in combination.

  In the present embodiment, as the third notification mode, the notification unit 510 causes the speaker 72 to output a specific sound different from the second notification mode. That is, the third notification mode is set to a notification mode different from the second notification mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the third notification mode may be the same notification mode as the second notification mode.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery values of the combination lottery for “RB1” and “RBBBRB2” in which the payout rate is both less than 100% are different. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and “RB1” and “RBBRB2” are different. May be shared. With this configuration, a plurality of types of bonus states (“RB1” and “RBBBRB2”) in which the payout rate is less than 100% can be provided without increasing the data capacity.

  In the present embodiment, the probability of winning in the second high-accuracy state is set higher than the probability of winning in the first high-accuracy state in the high-probability state transition destination lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be set so that the probability of winning in the first highly accurate state is higher than the probability of winning in the second highly accurate state.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT state transition destination lottery, the probability of winning in the normal AT state is the highest, and subsequently, the probability of winning in the second special AT state is set to be high. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be set so that the probability of winning in the first special AT state is higher than the probability of winning in the second special AT state.

  In this embodiment, in the special AT state transition destination lottery, the probability of winning in the second special AT state is set higher than the probability of winning in the first special AT state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be set so that the probability of winning in the first special AT state is higher than the probability of winning in the second special AT state.

  In the present embodiment, a special AT state transition lottery is performed in each game in the CZ state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a special AT state transition lottery may be performed based on the fact that a predetermined rare role is won in the role lottery during the CZ state.

  In the present embodiment, the number of highly-accurate games is “10 games” which is a fixed number of games, but the number of highly-accurate games may be more or less than “10 games”. In addition, the number of highly accurate games is not limited to the fixed number of games, and each time the game shifts to the highly accurate state, a lottery for determining the number of highly accurate games is performed, and the number of highly accurate games in the highly accurate state is determined. Good.

  In this embodiment, the number of CZ games is “32 games” which is a fixed number of games, but the number of CZ games may be more or less than “32 games”. Further, the number of CZ games is not limited to the fixed number of games, and a lottery for determining the number of CZ games may be performed each time the state shifts to the CZ state, and the number of CZ games in the CZ state may be determined.

  In the present embodiment, "the first condition" is set to "when staying in the normal state", but is not limited to this. For example, when the termination condition of the CZ state is “when the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role“ RBB ”is stopped and displayed on the activated line 86”, the “first condition” is changed to “the CZ state of the CZ state”. When 32 games, which is the fixed number of games, have been consumed. " In such a configuration, during the 32 games that are the fixed number of games in the CZ state, the special AT state transition lottery is performed, and after the 32 games are completed, the special AT state transition lottery is not performed, and the bonus transition role “RBB” is executed. It is desirable to wait for the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to "" to be stopped and displayed on the activated line 86.

  In the present embodiment, in the high-accuracy state, effect means similar to that in the normal state is notified to effect device 70 by notifying means 510. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the high-accuracy state, an effect different from the normal state may be notified to the effect device 70 by the notifying unit 510 so that the player can recognize that he or she is staying in the high-accuracy state. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, in one of the first high-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state, an effect similar to that in the normal state is notified, and in the other of the first high-accuracy state or the second high-accuracy state, the normal An effect different from the state may be notified.

  In the present embodiment, the continuation right for continuing the AT state is given in the first highly accurate state, and the continuation right is not given in the second highly accurate state. The method of giving priority to the first high-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state is not limited to this. For example, in one of the first high-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state, the special AT state at the transition destination is an advantageous state. Alternatively, in one of the first high-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state, a continuation right acquisition lottery may be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the number of push order notifications in the normal AT state is “10”, the number of push order notifications in the first special AT state is “30”, and the number of push order notifications in the second special AT state is "20 times". However, the number of times of pressing order notification in each AT state is not limited to the above number, and may be more or less. Further, the method of giving priority between the normal AT state and the special AT state is not limited to the number of times of pressing order notification. For example, even if the number of times of pressing order notification is the same, the continuation rate of the AT state is higher than that of the normal AT state. The state may be higher, or the continuation right acquisition lottery may be performed only in the special AT state.
