In any of the replay winning modes, the winning probability does not change depending on the set value.

  In the present embodiment, the big bonus (BB) is drawn only in the internal lottery table A, and the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) differs depending on the set value. In particular, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning the big bonus (BB) increases as the set value increases from setting 1 to setting 6. In the present embodiment, as the setting value increases from setting 1 to setting 6, the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) may be reduced.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is obtained from the random number generation means 110 for each game based on a start signal from the start switch 230, and the obtained random number value is provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a. With reference to the internal lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910 thus determined, it is determined whether or not a winning has been achieved.

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

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the winning state is not carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to a winning state is prepared. There is a bonus as a role associated with the former carryover possible flag, and the small role and replay are associated with the latter carryover impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting processing, when the big bonus (BB) is won by the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, even in the game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag has been carried over, the internal lottery means 120 is performing the internal lottery for determining whether or not to win the small combination and the replay. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) that has already been won. The lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations, ie, the small winning combinations won in the internal lottery and the replaying lottery flags, are set to the winning state.

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

  When the stop switch 240 is activated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled, the reel control means 130 stops the reels from the stop switch 240. By supplying a drive pulse for all-phase excitation to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 based on the signal, control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed.

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. It has become. When stopping the spinning reel within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each spinning reel is determined to be 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. It is determined in a range of up to three frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button pressed down from among the stop buttons B1 to B3, the reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination by the internal lottery, as the stop button. If the position is within the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the display position on the active line at the time when the button is pressed, the symbol corresponding to the combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state is the active line. Control is performed to stop the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed, so as to be displayed at the upper display position.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the BAR symbol "BAR", the replay symbol "RP", and the plum symbol "RP" are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. PM, bell symbol "BL", watermelon symbol "WM", cherry symbol "CH", dummy symbol 1 "DUM1", and dummy symbol 2 "DUM2". When the symbols existing within three frames from the pressed position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the pressing of the reel is detected, are drawn on the activated line, the symbols are arranged at an interval of three frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. The design can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 including a photo sensor, and the reel control unit 130 controls the reel unit 310 based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 each time the reel rotates once. By calculating the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation shaft of the stepping motor) from the reference position of the reel (the frame detected by the reel index 315), the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored. Has become. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  Further, the reel control unit 130 refers to a stop control table stored in a stop control data storage area 1911 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage unit 190a to determine a stop position of the rotating reel (table). Reference processing). In the stop control table, the correspondence between the pressed detection position and the actual stop position is set according to the setting state of the lottery flag. In the stop control table, the correspondence between the pressed detection position and the number of sliding frames indicating the amount of rotation from the pressed detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  First, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, priorities are determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”, and when a lottery flag for two or more types of roles is set to a winning state, each role is determined. With reference to the stop control table in which the table data according to the priority order associated with is set, the symbol configuring the winning mode of the high-priority role is the symbol configuring the winning mode of the low-priority role. The stop position of the spinning reel is determined so that it is displayed on the activated line in preference to.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a plurality of small wins are won by the internal lottery, the stop position of the reel is stopped according to the number of symbol combinations indicating winning combinations of small wins that can be displayed on the activated line. There are a case where the position is determined and a case where the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on the winning of the small combination, and there is a symbol combination indicating the winning combination of the small combination that can be displayed on the activated line. When the stop position is determined according to the number, the stop position of the spinning reel is determined so that the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning combination of small wins that can be displayed on the activated line is increased, and the medal of the medal is determined. When the stop position is determined in accordance with the number of payouts, the rotation of the reels is stopped so that the number of payouts of medals based on the winning of the small role corresponding to the symbol that can be displayed at the display position on the activated line is increased. The position is determined.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when either the eight-stroke-order small win or the three-stroke-order small win is won, the correct batting order is set for each batting-order small win (winning mode), which is different from the correct batting order. The pressing order is treated as an incorrect batting order, and if a stop operation is performed in the correct batting order, the number of medals paid out based on the winning of the small role corresponding to the symbol that can be displayed at the display position on the activated line is large. The stop position of the spinning reel is determined in such a manner that if the stop operation is performed in the incorrect hitting order, the rotation is performed so that the number of the symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line is increased. The stop position of the middle reel is determined.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the stop position of the spinning reel is determined so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible, and the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state. The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so as not to win the set combination.

  FIG. 8 shows a stop control table referred to when any one of eight small hits LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, and RC1 to RC4 is won in the internal lottery. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 9, the correct hitting order is set for each of the eight hitting small wins, and a pressing order different from the correct hitting order is treated as an incorrect hitting order. In the present embodiment, when one of the eight-stroke order small wins LC1, LC2, LR1 and LR2 is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order, the correct answer small win 1 is won. A stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and when any of the eight-sheet hit order small combination LC3, LC4, LR3, LR4, RL3, RL4, RC3, RC4 is won, stop buttons B1 to B3 are set in the correct hit order. When pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer winning combination 4 wins, and if any of the eight-stroke order small winning combinations CL1, CL2, CR1, and CR2 is won, the order is determined in the correct answer hitting order. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer hand 2 wins, and the eight-sheet hit order small hand CL3, CL4, CR3, When any of R4 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answering small part 5 wins, and the eight-sheet hitting small combination When any one of RL1, RL2, RC1, and RC2 is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct small part 3 wins. .

  Also, if any of the eight batting order small wins is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the hitting order 1 or batting order 2 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first will be the two types of winning. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that there is a case where one of the incorrect answer small roles A among the incorrect answer small combinations A wins and a case where none of the winning combinations wins (missing). In the batting order 3 or batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is pressed first, any one of the two types of incorrect answer small wins B wins. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there is a case in which no prize is won (missing), and in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 in which the stop button B3 is pressed first, two types of winning incorrect winning combinations C are selected. Out of Zureka one and when the winning is not exactly small role C, when any of the winning combination may not won (missed) and the stop position with respect to the depression detection position such that there are set.

  Further, in the stop control table referred to when any of the three-stroke order small wins L1 to L4, C1 to C4, and R1 to R4 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. Are set in order of correct answer, and a pressing order different from the correct answer order is treated as an incorrect answer order. In this embodiment, when any of the three-stroke order small wins L1, L2, C1, C2, R1, and R2 is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order, the correct answer small win 6 is activated. A stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so as to win, and when any of the three-sheet-stroke order small wins L3, L4, C3, C4, R3, and R4 is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are set in the correct hit order. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that when the button is pressed, the correct answer part 7 wins a prize.

  If any of the three batting order small wins is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the hitting order 1 and the batting order 2 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first are the two types of winning. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that there is a case where one of the incorrect answer small roles A among the incorrect answer small combinations A wins and a case where none of the winning combinations wins (missing). In the batting order 3 or batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is pressed first, any one of the two types of incorrect answer small wins B wins. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there is a case in which no prize is won (missing), and in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 in which the stop button B3 is pressed first, two types of winning incorrect winning combinations C are selected. Out of Zureka one and when the winning is not exactly small role C, when any of the winning combination may not won (missed) and the stop position with respect to the depression detection position such that there are set.

  Further, in the stop control table referred to when the special small win is won in the internal lottery, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the special small win is won regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table which is set and referred to when the chance combination is won in the internal lottery, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position so that there is a case where the chance combination wins and a case where neither combination wins Is set.

  In the stop control table referred to when JAC1 is won in the internal lottery, any one of the correct answer small wins 1 to 5 wins regardless of the pressing order and timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table which is referred to when JAC2 is won in the internal lottery, the wrong answer is determined regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that any one of the combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, the special combination, and the chance combination wins.

  Further, in the stop control table referred to when the normal replay is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 11A, the replay 2 wins regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table referred to when the chance replay is won in the internal lottery, the replay 1 wins regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so as to perform the operation.

  In the stop control table referred to when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the internal lottery, a specific batting order is set for each batting order replay as shown in FIG. A pressing order different from the batting order is treated as a non-specific batting order. In the present embodiment, when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the specific batting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the replay 3 wins. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-specific batting order, the stop position relative to the pressed detection position is set so that Replay 2 wins. In the present embodiment, when the replay 3 wins, as shown in FIG. 11B, the BAR symbols “BAR” are aligned on the inactive line formed in the middle stage of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. As shown in FIG. 11C, "BL / BAR / BAR" is displayed on an invalid line formed in the middle of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. When the batting order replay A is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order, winning of the replay 3 in the BAR losing stopping mode is prioritized. In the case where the batting order replay B is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order, the winning of the replay 3 in the BAR aligned stopping mode is given priority. Stop position so that is set. Particularly, in the present embodiment, when the batting order replay A is won, the stop position is set so that the stop mode of the BAR alignment is not displayed.

  The prize determination means 140 performs a prize determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been achieved, based on the manner in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. Specifically, all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage area 1912 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination displayed on the activated line at the time is a predetermined winning combination of a combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, a big bonus (BB), replays 1 to 3, correct answers 1 to 7, incorrect answers A winning determination table is prepared so that winning of small combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, special small combinations, and chance combinations can be determined.

  Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a prize-winning process is executed based on the determination result of the prize determining means 140. As the prize-winning process, for example, when the small winning part wins, the payout control means 150 performs the medal payout control processing, and when the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay processing, and the bonus is set. When a prize is won, the game state transition control means 170 performs a game state transition control process for transitioning the game state.

  The payout control unit 150 performs a payout control process related to payout of medals according to a game result. Specifically, when the small winning combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each of the winning combinations, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are stored in the hopper unit 320 ( (Payout device).

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that is activated every time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 sends the medal from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. The number of medals paid out can be managed.

  When credit storage (storage storage) of medals is permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the credit information is stored in the credit information storage area 1914 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a. A credit adding process for adding the payout number to the stored credit number (the number of credit-stored medals) is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (re-game process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without having to insert a medal owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, medals of a number equivalent to the prescribed insertion number required for performing the next game are held by the player (including credit medals). An automatic insertion process for automatically inserting without using is performed, and the next game start operation on the start lever SL is awaited in a state where an effective line corresponding to the number of medals inserted by the automatic insertion process is set.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the game state transition control means 170 performs a game state transition control process of transitioning the game state between the normal state, the bonus established state, and the bonus state. One condition or a plurality of conditions may be defined as the game state transition condition. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the game state is changed based on that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or that all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another game state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to a bonus established state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus established state. In the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery target among the internal lottery tables A to C shown in FIG.

  The bonus established state is a gaming state to which the game shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won by the internal lottery. In the bonus established state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets among the internal lottery tables A to C shown in FIG. Then, in the internal lottery table B referred to in the bonus established state, as shown in FIG. 3, the small lottery or the replay is guaranteed to be won without the occurrence of unwinning (losing) in the internal lottery.

  In the bonus established state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and a symbol combination indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state from the bonus established state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning mode of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C among the internal lottery tables A to C shown in FIG.

  In the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the termination condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when a predetermined number of medals (for example, 100) are paid out, the game is started. The state transition control means 170 performs control for terminating the bonus state and returning the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, the ending condition of the bonus state is determined by the total number of medals paid out. However, the ending condition may be determined by the number of games in the bonus state or the number of winning small combinations. In the bonus state, an ending condition may be set so as to end in one game.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the bonus established state, when both the big bonus (BB) and the small winning are won, the small winning is given priority over the symbols constituting the winning form of the big bonus (BB). The symbols constituting the form are displayed on the activated line, and in a state where the big bonus (BB) and the replay are both won, the spinning reel is stopped so that the replay wins in preference to the big bonus (BB). Thus, the winning of the big bonus (BB) is avoided regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the normal state and the bonus established state, a plurality of types of winning modes A (small eight-stroke order small) in which a plurality of types of correct answer small portions (correct answer small portions 1 to 5) are won without overlapping each other. The internal lottery is performed so that the roles LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, and RC1 to RC4) exist. There is a winning mode B (JAC1) in which the winning modes B through 5) are repeated, and the probability that the internal mode becomes the winning mode B by the internal lottery in the bonus state is determined by the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus established state. Internal lottery such that the probability of winning is lower than any one of them, and the winning probability of each of the plural types of correct answers (correct answers 1 to 5) is higher than the normal state and the bonus established state. It is doing. In other words, in the bonus state of the present embodiment, the winning probability of each of the correct answer small wins 1 to 5 having a higher payout than the prescribed insertion number (three) is higher than the normal state or the bonus established state, and the winning probability of the entire small win is increased. Is higher than the normal state and the bonus established state, but the probability of obtaining the winning mode B (JAC1) including any of the correct answer winning combinations 1 to 5 with a higher payout than the prescribed number of insertions is obtained in the normal state or the bonus established state. From the probability that winning mode A including any of the correct answer small wins 1 to 5 (8 hitting small wins LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, RC1 to RC4) Therefore, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate (payout number / insertion number) in the bonus state can be set to less than 100%.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the privilege giving means 175 includes a normal effect state, a high probability state, an AT state (first effect state, special effect state), and a special AT state (second effect state, special effect state). ), The effect state is changed between a plurality of effect states, and the effect state is set to the AT state under predetermined conditions, and control is performed to terminate the AT state when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied. In the present embodiment, information indicating the effect state in which the user is staying is stored in the effect state storage area 1918 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a. Further, in the present embodiment, when staying in the AT state or the special AT state, the awarding means 175 causes the game information display section DS to be displayed when one of the eight-stroke order small combination and the three-stroke order small combination is won. By displaying information corresponding to the correct hit order in a main display 300 (display device) composed of a 7-segment display provided in the above, correct answer hit order information for assisting the winning of the correct small win (predetermined small win) is performed. At the same time, the effect control means 180 displays an image corresponding to the correct hitting order on the liquid crystal display LCD at the time of winning of either the 8 hitting small win or the 3 hitting small win, so that the correct answering small win (predetermined small win) A prize assisting effect that assists in winning a prize is performed, and it is possible to perform assist time games where medals are easier to obtain than games that are staying in the normal production state or high probability state It has become.

  In the present embodiment, when the privilege giving unit 175 notifies the correct hitting order, the hitting order information, which is information corresponding to the correct hitting order, is displayed on the main display 300. A hitting order number is set for each correct hitting order. The batting order 1 to batting order 6 shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 correspond to batting order numbers, and “1” (batting order 1), “2” (batting order 2), “3” ( Any of the batting order numbers of batting order 3), “4” (batting order 4), “5” (batting order 5), and “6” (batting order 6) is displayed as batting order information. The main display 300 does not necessarily have to be provided exclusively, and is also used as a credit display for displaying the number of medals and a payout display for displaying the number of medals to be paid out in the game information display section DS. Is also good. For example, when the batting order number is displayed on the credit indicator, the batting order number is displayed in place of the credit number of the medal based on the game start operation performed on the start lever SL, and all the reels are stopped. (Or that the winning determination process has been performed), the number of medals may be displayed instead of the batting order number.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the privilege granting unit 175 can set a normal section and an advantageous section. In the normal section, the effect state is fixed to the normal effect state, the AT lottery is performed, and the advantage is obtained by winning the AT lottery. The effect state can be set to the AT state on condition that the section is started and the section is an advantageous section. In particular, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the bonus established state, and the effect state can be set to the AT state in the bonus established state on condition that it is an advantageous section. Then, in the normal section, the privilege granting unit 175 determines that the winning (predetermined lottery result) of one of the chance role, JAC1, and the chance replay that the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is obtained by the internal lottery. Based on this, an AT lottery (specific lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to start an advantageous section and to determine whether or not a transition to the AT state (assist time game) has occurred. In the normal production state, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the AT low-probability lottery table among a plurality of types of AT lottery tables stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and the AT is determined according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the lottery has been won. In the AT low-probability lottery table, an AT win, a high-probability win, or a loss is assigned to a random number for an internal lottery associated with each of the chance role, JAC1, and chance replay. Is determined to be an AT lottery when the random number value acquired in step S1 is associated with an AT win or a high probability win in the AT low probability lottery table. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery does not change under the influence of the set value.

  If the result of the AT lottery is lost in the normal section, the privilege granting means 175 causes the stay in the normal section, whereas if the result of the AT lottery is won in the normal section, based on the fact that the AT lottery has been won. The advantageous section is started, and the effect state is shifted according to the winning type of the AT lottery. More specifically, if an AT win is obtained in the AT lottery, the effect state is shifted to the AT state, and if a high probability win is obtained in the AT lottery, the effect state is shifted to the high probability state.

  In addition, when the effect state is in the high probability state in the advantageous section, the privilege granting unit 175 performs the AT lottery based on the fact that one of the chance combination, JAC1, and chance replay has been won in the internal lottery. In the high probability state, the main lottery table is compared with the AT high probability lottery table among a plurality of types of AT lottery tables stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT high probability lottery table, an AT win, a high probability win, or a loss is assigned to a random number value for an internal lottery associated with each of the chance role, JAC1, and chance replay, and the AT low It is set so that the winning probability of the AT winning is higher than the probability lottery table.

  Then, when the player wins the AT lottery in the high probability state, the effect state is shifted according to the winning type of the AT lottery. Specifically, in the high-probability state, if the AT win is obtained by the AT lottery, the production state is shifted to the AT state. However, if the high-probability win or loss is obtained by the AT lottery, the production state is changed. Maintain a high probability state without transition.

  The privilege granting unit 175 also determines the value of the normal counter 1920 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a on the basis of the fact that the high probability winning in the AT lottery is obtained in the normal section, the predetermined number of games (for example, (For example, 32 times), and each time one game is played in the high probability state, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, the value of the normal counter 1920 is changed. A decrement update for subtracting a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game is performed. When a high-probability winning is obtained by the AT lottery in the high-probability state, the value of the normal counter 1920 is reset (reset) to a value (for example, 32) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 32 times). Is done.

  Then, when the value of the normal counter 1920 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) in the high probability state, it is determined that the termination condition of the high probability state is satisfied, and the high probability state is ended to change the production state to the normal production state. Let it return. The number of games in the high-probability state can be arbitrarily determined. For example, when a high-probability win is obtained in the AT lottery, a selection may be made from a plurality of types of game times, or in the high-probability state, the AT lottery may be selected. In the case where a high probability win is obtained, the number of games in the high probability state is reset so as to be larger than the number of remaining games in the high probability state (the value of the normal counter 1920 is set to a value larger than the current value) Or add a given value to the value of the normal counter 1920).

  In the present embodiment, the normal counter 1920 is updated irrespective of the game state, the update of the normal counter 1920 is not interrupted or terminated depending on the change of the game state, and the normal counter 1920 is updated regardless of the change of the game state. Continue updating.

  When the end condition of the high probability state is satisfied in the advantageous section, the effect state stays in the normal effect state in the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, when the production state is the normal production state in the advantageous section, the AT low-probability lottery table is referred to based on the fact that one of the chance combination, JAC1, and chance replay has been won in the internal lottery. AT lottery performed.

  In addition, based on the fact that the AT winning has been achieved in the AT lottery, the privilege granting means 175 determines the value of the AT counter 1921 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a as the initial number of games in the AT state (for example, 50 times). ) Is set to a value (for example, 50). The value set in the AT counter 1921 is not limited to the above example, and can be set arbitrarily.

  Then, the privilege granting unit 175 starts updating the AT counter 1921 from the next game of the game in which the AT winning is obtained in the AT lottery. Specifically, every time one game is played in the AT state, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a value corresponding to one game count from the value of the AT counter 1921 (for example, Perform decrement update by subtracting 1). When the value of the AT counter 1921 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, the AT state is ended, and the effect state is returned to the normal effect state. In the present embodiment, the advantageous section ends when the AT state ends and the effect state returns to the normal effect state.

  In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT counter 1921 is interrupted while the staging state is maintained in the AT state, and the game state is changed to the bonus state after the bonus state ends. The decrement update of the AT counter 1921 is restarted on condition that the vehicle is staying in the advantageous section triggered by the transition to the established state, and the unfinished game is played. When the big bonus (BB) wins in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT counter 1921 may be continued irrespective of a change in the game state, or when the big bonus (BB) wins in the AT state. Even if the value of the AT counter 1921 does not reach the threshold value, the value of the AT counter 1921 may be reset to an initial value (for example, 0), and then the AT state may be ended and the advantageous section may be ended. .

  The special granting means 175 determines whether or not to shift to the special AT state based on the fact that any of the chance combination, chance replay, and batting order replay B has been won in the internal lottery in the AT state. I do. In the special AT lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the special AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and it is determined whether or not the special AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. judge. In the special AT lottery table, winning or losing is assigned to the random number for the internal lottery associated with each of the chance role, the chance replay, and the batting order replay B, and the random number value obtained for the internal lottery is Is associated with the winning in the special AT lottery table, it is determined that the special AT lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the special AT lottery table is set so that the hit order replay B is always won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the special AT lottery does not change under the influence of the set value.

  Then, when the special AT lottery is won in the AT state, the effect state is shifted to the special AT state.

  In this embodiment, when the special AT lottery is won in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT counter 1921 is interrupted, and when the state returns from the special AT state to the AT state, the interrupted decrement update of the AT counter 1921 is restarted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the AT state, when a batting order replay A or a batting order replay B is won, a special batting order and a prize assisting effect for notifying that the BAR symbol “BAR” is to be displayed are executed by the staging control means 180. When a stop operation is performed in the specific batting order and the timing of displaying the BAR symbol “BAR” at the time of winning, the BAR alignment stop mode is displayed to notify the transition to the special AT state. On the other hand, if a stop operation is performed at the timing of displaying the BAR symbol “BAR” in the specific batting order when the batting order replay A is won, the BAR loss stop mode is displayed, thereby notifying that the state does not shift to the special AT state. In the present embodiment, if the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, the mode of the stop operation does not affect the result of the game. Therefore, even if the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the AT state. The main display 300 does not display batting order information that is information corresponding to a specific batting order.

  The privilege granting unit 175 performs a selection lottery for selecting the type (aspect) of the special AT state from the types 1 to 7 based on winning in the special AT lottery in the AT state. In the selection lottery, one of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is obtained, the obtained random number value is compared with the selection lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and according to the comparison result. To determine the type of special AT state. In the selection lottery table, for example, type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, type 5, type 6, or type 7 is assigned to each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767. The special AT state type is selected from the seven types. In this embodiment, the selection lottery table is set so that the selection probability increases in the order of “type 7 <type 4 = type 5 = type 6 <type 1 = type 2 = type 3”. In the present embodiment, the selection probability of the selection lottery does not change under the influence of the set value.

  When the type of the special AT state is selected by the selection lottery, the type of the special AT state is set. In the present embodiment, information indicating the type of the special AT state is stored in a special AT type storage area 1919 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a, and when the type 1 is selected by the selection lottery, By setting a special AT type parameter (a parameter relating to the mode of the second effect state), which is a parameter indicating the type of the special AT state, stored in the special AT type storage area 1919 to “1”, the type of the special AT state is set. Is set to type 1. Similarly, when the type 2 is selected by the selection lottery, the type of the special AT state is set to the type 2 by setting the special AT type parameter to “2”, and when the type 3 is selected by the selection lottery. Sets the special AT type parameter to "3" to set the type of special AT status to type 3, and sets the special AT type parameter to "4" when type 4 is selected by selection lottery. To set the type of the special AT status to type 4, and when the type 5 is selected by the selection lottery, set the special AT type parameter to "5" to set the type of the special AT status to type 5. When the type 6 is selected by the selection lottery, the special AT type parameter is set to “6” to set the type of the special AT state to the type 6, and when the type 7 is selected by the selection lottery, the special AT state is set. Set the AT type parameter to “7”. To set the type of special AT state to the type 7 by.

  In addition, each time one game is played in the special AT state, the privilege granting unit 175 performs an additional lottery, a strong additional lottery, and a promotion lottery, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed. However, when the type of the special AT state is type 7, only the additional lottery and the strong additional lottery among the three types of lottery are performed, and in the next game of the game that has won the strong additional lottery, the additional lottery and the additional extra lottery are performed. A special AT lottery is performed in place of the lottery and promotion lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery mode of some of the three types of lottery, that is, the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery, is more advantageous to the player than the normal lottery mode in accordance with the type of the special AT state. It changes to a lottery mode. Specifically, when the type of the special AT state is type 1, type 2, or type 3, only one of the three types of lottery changes to an advantageous lottery mode, whereas When the type of the AT state is type 4, type 5, or type 6, since the two types of lottery among the three types of lottery change to an advantageous lottery mode, the type of the special AT state is type 1, type It is in an advantageous state for the player as compared to the case of 2 or 3 types. In addition, when the type of the special AT state is type 7, the additional lottery and the strong additional lottery change to a more advantageous lottery mode than when the type of the special AT state is type 4, type 5, or type 6. , The special AT state is more advantageous for the player than the case where the type is the type 4, the type 5, or the type 6.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the priority is determined in the order of "strong addition lottery> promotion lottery> additional lottery" between the three kinds of lottery, and when two or more kinds of the three kinds of lottery are won. , A lottery result of a lottery with a higher priority is adopted. If only one of the three types of lottery is won, the lottery result of the lottery is adopted. That is, in the present embodiment, when two or more types of lottery including the strong addition lottery are won, the lottery result of the strong addition lottery is adopted, and when the promotion lottery and the additional lottery are won, the result of the promotion lottery is adopted. I do.

  The additional lottery is a lottery that determines whether or not to increase the number of games in the AT state (whether or not to extend the game period in the first production state). In the additional lottery, a random number value obtained for the internal lottery Is compared with an additional lottery table selected according to the type of the special AT state among a plurality of types of additional lottery tables stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and whether or not the additional lottery is won according to the comparison result. And the number of games is determined. In the additional lottery table, the number of games, such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 50 times, or loss is assigned to the random number for the internal lottery. When the acquired random number value is associated with any of the number of games in the additional lottery table, it is determined that the number of games has been won. Then, when the additional lottery is won, an additional process of adding a given number of games to the remaining number of games in the AT state is performed on condition that neither the strong additional lottery nor the promotion lottery is won. In the present embodiment, since the priority of the additional lottery is lower than the strong additional lottery and the promotion lottery, even if the additional lottery is won, if the strong additional lottery or the promotion lottery is also won, the additional lottery No additional processing based on the winning is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the minimum guaranteed number of games is set as the number of games in the AT state to be added, and in the additional processing based on the winning of the additional lottery, when the number of games won in the additional lottery is larger than the minimum guaranteed number of games. Adds the value corresponding to the number of won games to the AT counter 1921. If the number of games won in the additional lottery is smaller than the minimum guaranteed number of games, the value corresponding to the minimum number of guaranteed games is added to the AT counter 1921. to add. In the present embodiment, when the type of the special AT state is type 1, type 2, or type 3, the minimum guaranteed number of games is set to five, and the types of the special AT state are type 4, type 5 If the type is 6 or the type is 6, the minimum guaranteed number of games is set to 10, and if the type of the special AT state is the type 7, the minimum guaranteed number of games is set to 15. Also, in the present embodiment, the number of guaranteed games is set in the special AT state, and until the guaranteed number of games is consumed, a loss occurs in all of the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery. To the minimum guaranteed number of games.

  Further, in the present embodiment, three types of additional lottery tables (additional lottery tables 1 to 3) are prepared as additional lottery tables. In the additional lottery tables 1 to 3, the "additional lottery table 1 < It is set so that the winning probability increases in the order of the additional lottery table 2 <the additional lottery table 3. In addition, at the additional lottery table, the expected value of the number of games that will always win when the chance role or chance replay is won, and will be added more than when the lottery result other than the chance role or chance replay win is obtained by the internal lottery Is set to be large.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the type of the special AT state is type 1, type 3, or type 5, as shown in FIG. If the is a type 2, type 4, or type 6, the additional lottery table 2 is selected, and if the type of the special AT state is the type 7, the additional lottery table 3 is selected to perform the additional lottery.

  The strong addition lottery is a lottery that determines whether or not to increase the number of games in the AT state (whether or not to extend the game period in the first production state). In the strong addition lottery, the lottery is acquired for the internal lottery. The random number value is compared with the strong addition lottery table selected according to the type of the special AT state among the plurality of types of strong addition lottery tables stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910, and the strong addition is performed according to the comparison result. The presence or absence of a lottery and the number of games are determined. In the strong addition lottery table, the number of games such as 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, 100 times, 120 times, 150 times, 180 times, 200 times, etc. Alternatively, if a loss is assigned and the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is strongly added to any of the number of games in the lottery table, it is determined that the number of games has been won. Then, when the player wins the strong additional lottery (when a predetermined additional condition is satisfied), the value corresponding to the number of won games is added to the AT counter 1921 (the given value is added to the predetermined count value), and thereby the AT is added. An additional processing of adding a given number of games to the remaining number of games in the state (adding a given added value to the count value) is performed. In this embodiment, since the priority of the strong addition lottery is higher than the additional lottery and the promotion lottery, if the strong addition lottery is won, regardless of the result of the addition lottery and the promotion lottery, the strong addition lottery is won. An additional processing based on the information is performed. Also, if you win the strong addition lottery, the winning information will be retained until the next game, and the presence or absence of the strong addition lottery winning information will determine whether the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery are executed, and the strong additional lottery will be won. If no information is held, three types of lottery are performed. If the winning information of the strong addition lottery is held, one of the chance role, chance replay, and batting order replay B is won. Based on this, a special AT lottery is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, three types of strong addition lottery tables (strong addition lottery tables 1 to 3) are prepared as the strong addition lottery tables. In the strong addition lottery tables 1 to 3, The setting is made so that the winning probability increases in the order of “strongly added lottery table 1 <strongly added lottery table 2 <strongly added lottery table 3”. In addition, at the strong addition lottery table, when the chance role or chance replay is won, the game is won and added with a higher probability than when the lottery result other than the chance role or chance replay winning is obtained by the internal lottery The expected value of the number is set to be large.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), when the type of the special AT state is type 1, type 2, or type 4, the privilege adding unit 175 selects the strong addition lottery table 1, and selects the special AT state. If the type is type 3, type 5, or type 6, the strong addition lottery table 2 is selected, and if the type of the special AT state is type 7, the strong addition lottery table 3 is selected and the additional lottery is selected. Do.

  The promotion lottery is a lottery that determines whether or not the type in the special AT state is promoted to a type that is advantageous to the player. In the promotion lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is stored in the main lottery table storage area 1910. It is compared with a promotion lottery table selected according to the type of the special AT state among a plurality of types of stored promotion lottery tables, and the presence / absence of the promotion lottery winning and the type after promotion are determined according to the comparison result. . In the promotion lottery table, the types of special AT states such as type 4, type 5, type 6, type 7, and the like or loss are assigned to the random numbers for the internal lottery, and the randomness obtained for the internal lottery is determined. If the numerical value is associated with any type in the promotion lottery table, it is determined that the type has been won. When the winning in the promotion lottery is selected, the special AT type parameter is changed to a value corresponding to the selected type by changing the special AT type parameter to a type corresponding to the selected type, on condition that the lottery is not selected. Perform change processing. In this embodiment, since the priority of the promotion lottery is lower than the strong addition lottery, even if the promotion lottery is won, if the strong addition lottery is also won, the type change processing based on the promotion lottery winning Is not done.

  In the present embodiment, five types of promotion lottery tables (promotion lottery tables 1 to 5) are prepared as the promotion lottery tables. In the promotion lottery tables 1 to 5, the “promotion lottery table 2 = The promotion lottery table 3 = the promotion lottery table 4 <the promotion lottery table 1 = the promotion lottery table 5, and the winning probability is set to be higher in this order. Also, in the promotion lottery table, it is set so that when the chance role or the chance replay is won, the lottery other than the chance role or the chance replay is won with a higher probability than when the internal lottery results are obtained. .

  In the promotion lottery table 1, types 4, 5, 5, 7 or loss are assigned to the internal lottery random numbers. In the promotion lottery table 2, the internal lottery random numbers are Type 4, Type 6, Type 7, or Loss is assigned. In the promotion lottery table 3, Type 5, Type 6, Type 7, or Loss is assigned to the random number for internal lottery. In the promotion lottery table 4 and the promotion lottery table 5, a type 7 or a loss is assigned to the random number value for the internal lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20A, the privilege granting unit 175 selects the promotion lottery table 1 when the type of the special AT state is type 1, and selects the promotion lottery table 1 when the type of the special AT state is type 2. Selects the promotion lottery table 2, selects the promotion lottery table 3 when the type of the special AT status is type 3, and selects the promotion lottery table 5 when the type of the special AT status is the type 4 or type 5. Is selected, and if the type of the special AT state is type 6, the promotion lottery table 4 is selected to perform the promotion lottery. For this reason, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20B, when the type of the special AT state is type 1, the promotion lottery table 1 is referred to to change the type to the type 4, type 5, or type 7. If the type of the special AT status is type 2, the promotion can be promoted to type 4, type 6, or type 7 by referring to the promotion lottery table 2. If the type of the special AT status is type 3, the promotion can be promoted to type 5, type 6, or type 7 by referring to the promotion lottery table 3. When the type is 4, type 5, or type 6, the promotion to the type 7 can be performed by referring to the promotion lottery table 4 or the promotion lottery table 5.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the type of the special AT state is type 1, the promotion lottery among the three types of lottery is performed in an advantageous lottery manner, When the type of the state is type 2, the additional lottery among the three types of lottery is performed in an advantageous lottery mode, and when the type of the special AT state is the type 3, the strong additional lottery among the three types of lottery is performed. Is performed in an advantageous lottery manner, and when the type of the special AT state is type 4, the additional lottery and promotion lottery among the three kinds of lottery are performed in an advantageous lottery manner, and the type of the special AT state is type 5 In the case of, the promotion lottery and the strong addition lottery among the three kinds of lottery are performed in an advantageous lottery manner, and when the type of the special AT state is the type 6, the addition lottery and the strong addition among the three kinds of lottery are performed. The lottery is conducted in an advantageous lottery manner. It carried out in an advantageous lottery manner than plus lottery and strength plus lottery of three types of lottery when the type of the AT condition is of type 7 is of type 1 type 6.

  In addition, based on winning in the special AT lottery in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 determines the value of the special AT counter 1922 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a as the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state (for example, (For example, 5) (e.g., 5) (a security condition is set), and every time a game is played in the special AT state, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, A fixed value corresponding to one game from the value of the special AT counter 1922 on condition that the winning information of the strong addition lottery is not held and the value of the special AT counter 1922 is not a threshold value (for example, 0). A decrement update for subtracting (for example, 1) is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the winning information of the strong addition lottery is held or when the value of the special AT counter 1922 is a threshold value (for example, 0), the decrement of the special AT counter 1922 is updated. Absent.

  Then, when the value of the special AT counter 1922 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), if all three types of lottery, that is, the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery, are not elected (losing), a special It is determined that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the special AT state is ended to return the effect state to the AT state. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the value of the special AT counter 1922 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special AT state continues as long as one of the three kinds of lotteries is won. When the type of the special AT state is the type 7, the promotion lottery is not performed. Therefore, when all of the two kinds of the lottery, the additional lottery and the strong additional lottery, are not won, the special AT is performed. It is determined that the condition for terminating the state is satisfied, and the special AT state is ended to return the effect state to the AT state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of guaranteed games is set (the security condition is set) when shifting to the special AT state, and the special AT state is continued until the number of guaranteed games elapses (until the security condition is satisfied). After the number of guaranteed games elapses (after the security condition is satisfied), a special AT state is set until all three types (or two types) of lotteries performed for each game become unsuccessful (losing). To continue.

  In addition, when the type of the special AT state changes due to the winning of the promotion lottery in the special AT state (when the special AT type parameter changes) in the special AT state, the value of the special AT counter 1922 is guaranteed in the special AT state. By resetting to a value (for example, 4) corresponding to the number of times (for example, 4 times), the number of guaranteed games is reset (the security condition is reset). As described above, in the present embodiment, if the type of the special AT state changes during the special AT state, the number of guaranteed games is reset, and the special AT state is maintained until the number of guaranteed games is exhausted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state can be arbitrarily determined. For example, when the special AT state is won or the special AT state is changed due to the promotion lottery, a plurality of types of games are played. You may make it select from the frequency | count. Also, for example, a selection may be made from a plurality of types of game times according to the type of the special AT state. If the type of the special AT state is type 1, type 2, or type 3, the number of guaranteed games is set to four. If the type of the special AT state is type 4, type 5, or type 6, the number of guaranteed games is set to five, and if the type of the special AT state is type 7, The number of times may be set to six, or if the type of the special AT state is type 1, type 2, or type 3, the number of guaranteed games is set to six, and the type of the special AT state is type 4. , The number of guaranteed games may be set to 5 when the type is 5 or 6, and the number of guaranteed games may be set to 4 when the type of the special AT state is the type 7.

  In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the special AT state, execution of the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery, and the special AT counter are performed while maintaining the production state in the special AT state. The decrement update of 1922 is interrupted, and after the bonus state ends, the gaming state shifts to the bonus established state, and the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery are executed on condition that the player stays in the advantageous section. Also, the decrement update of the special AT counter 1922 is restarted. Note that when the big bonus (BB) is won in the special AT state, even if the addition lottery, the strong addition lottery, and the promotion lottery are executed and the decrement update of the special AT counter 1922 is continued irrespective of the change of the game state. Also, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the special AT state, the value of the special AT counter 1922 is reset to an initial value (for example, 0) even if the value of the special AT counter 1922 does not reach the threshold value. Then, the special AT state may be terminated.

  The privilege granting unit 175 is equivalent to the right to shift to the special AT state for one time by the value of the stock counter 1923 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage unit 190a when the special AT lottery is won in the special AT state. Increment updating is performed by adding a value to be performed (for example, 1). Then, when returning from the special AT state to the AT state, the privilege providing means 175 returns to the effect state after the predetermined sign game has been consumed based on the fact that the value of the stock counter 1923 is not the initial value (for example, 0). Is shifted to the special AT state, and the value (for example, 1) corresponding to the right to shift to the special AT state for one time is decremented from the value of the stock counter 1923. In this case, at the time of transition to the special AT state, selection lottery is performed, the type of the special AT state is set, and the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state is set.

  Further, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the privilege granting section 175 sets the value of the clear counter 1924 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage section 190a to a predetermined value (for example, 1). Every time one game is played, increment update is performed by adding a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game to the value of the clear counter 1924, and the value of the clear counter 1924 becomes a threshold value (for example, 1500). ) Is exceeded (when the value of the clear counter reaches 1501), it is determined that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained and the clear counter 1924 is updated even if the transition of the gaming state or the production state occurs, unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In this embodiment, the threshold value of the clear counter 1924 is set to “1500” in order to set the maximum number of games in the advantageous section to 1500 times. Can be set to any value as long as it is within 1500 times.

  In the case of the advantageous section, the privilege granting unit 175 determines the difference between the number of inserted medals (the specified number of inserted medals) and the number of paid out medals (number of paid out medals). Is counted, and when the difference number becomes equal to or more than a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 2400), it is determined that the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. Specifically, each time a game is performed, a value (for example, a value “3” corresponding to the number of inserted three medals) corresponding to the number of inserted medals (the specified number of inserted medals) is stored in the game information storage unit 190a. A decrement update is performed to subtract from the value of the difference number counter 1926 provided in the main RAM, and a value corresponding to the number of paid medals (for example, the number of paid Is added to the value of the difference counter 1926, and when the value of the difference counter 1926 reaches a threshold value (for example, 2400) (when the value of the difference When the value becomes 2400 or more), it is determined that the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. When a replay is won, it is considered that medals corresponding to the specified insertion number have been paid out, and a value corresponding to the specified insertion number (for example, a value “3” corresponding to three insertion numbers) is set to the difference number counter 1926. In the next game (re-game) of the game in which the replay has been won, it is considered that medals equivalent to the specified insertion number have been inserted, and a value corresponding to the specified insertion number (for example, 3 A decrement update is performed in which the value “3” corresponding to the number of insertions is subtracted from the value of the difference counter 1926. When the difference number counter 1926 is an initial value (for example, 0), the difference value counter 1926 is maintained at the initial value (for example, 0) by not performing the decrement update, and the difference is set with the payout of the medal. The number counter 1926 is incremented and updated. When the replay wins, the payout number of medals is treated as “0” and the increment counter of the difference number counter 1926 is not updated, and the medal insertion number is set to “1” in the next game (replay) of the game in which the replay wins. The value may be treated as "0" and the decrement update of the difference number counter 1926 may not be performed.

  In the advantageous section, the difference counter 1926 is updated irrespective of the gaming state or the effect state. In the present embodiment, the threshold value of the difference number counter 1926 is set to “2400” in order to set the maximum difference number of medals in the advantageous section to 2400, but the threshold value of the difference number counter 1926 is Any value can be set as long as the maximum difference number of medals is within 2,400. Further, the update timing of the clear counter 1924 and the difference counter 1926 may be updated at any timing as long as it is predetermined in each game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section is continued even if the high-probability state end condition or the special AT state end condition is satisfied in the advantageous section. However, if the AT state end condition is satisfied, the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. Is determined to have been established.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an initialization process for initializing information stored in a predetermined storage area of the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a is performed based on the fact that the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied. Particularly, in the present embodiment, regarding the main RAM of the game information storage means 190, the effect state storage area 1918, the special AT type storage area 1919, the normal counter 1920, the AT counter 1921, the special AT counter 1922, the stock counter 1923, the clear counter 1924, and The information stored in the difference counter 1926 is initialized. In the main RAM, the information stored in the set value storage area 1913, the credit information storage area 1914, the lottery flag storage area 1915, and the game state storage area 1916 are retained without being initialized. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state is initialized to the normal effect state, the special AT type parameter is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), the normal counter 1920, the AT counter 1921, and the special AT counter. The values of 1922, stock counter 1923, clear counter 1924, and difference counter 1926 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0), and the operation returns to the normal section.

  In the present embodiment, since the initialization process is executed at the end of the advantageous section and the operation returns to the normal section, when the value of the clear counter 1924 exceeds the threshold value while the vehicle is staying in the AT state. Alternatively, when the value of the difference number counter 1926 becomes equal to or more than the threshold value, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section, and the effect state is initialized to the normal effect state. The AT type parameter is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the values of the normal counter 1920, AT counter 1921, special AT counter 1922, stock counter 1923, clear counter 1924, and difference counter 1926 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0). Also, when the value of the clear counter 1924 exceeds the threshold value or the value of the difference number counter 1926 exceeds the threshold value in a state where the user is staying in another effect state, the advantageous section ends. In the initialization process, the currently staying effect state is forcibly terminated, the effect state is initialized to the normal effect state, the special AT type parameter is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the normal counter 1920, The values of the AT counter 1921, the special AT counter 1922, the stock counter 1923, the clear counter 1924, and the difference counter 1926 are initialized to initial values (for example, 0). In the present embodiment, the effect state is not initialized by turning on / off the power. However, even if the initialization state is performed in the setting change mode when activated in the setting change mode, the effect state is not reset. The normal AT state is initialized, and the special AT type parameter is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). The normal counter 1920, the AT counter 1921, the special AT counter 1922, the stock counter 1923, the clear counter 1924, and the difference The value of the number counter 1926 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0).

  In addition, even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied before the big bonus (BB) is won and the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed, The bonus state shifted by winning the big bonus (BB) is set in a normal section. Further, even if the state shifts to the bonus state in the advantageous section, if the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied before the condition for ending the bonus state is satisfied, and initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed, the initial state may be changed. After the conversion process, the game state is switched to the normal section while the bonus state is set.

  In addition, even when the value of the clear counter 1924 exceeds the threshold value or the value of the difference number counter 1926 exceeds the threshold value, the bonus condition is satisfied even when staying in the bonus condition. Regardless of whether or not the advantageous section is terminated, the initialization process is performed at the end of the advantageous section, and the process shifts to the normal section, but the AT lottery is performed even in the bonus state in the normal section. Therefore, if the advantageous section ends in a situation where the player is staying in the bonus state and the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed, the AT lottery is performed in the bonus state after the end of the advantageous section. The winning section may be started by winning. In addition, since the initialization of the gaming state is not performed depending on the initialization processing at the end of the advantageous section, the initialization processing is performed when the initialization processing at the end of the advantageous section is performed while staying in the bonus state. The information such as the number of payouts in the game in the bonus state consumed before the game is performed is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, and the game in the bonus state ends the bonus state. The process is performed until the condition is satisfied.

  In addition, the privilege giving means 175 turns on the LED incorporated in the section display SEC based on the start of the advantageous section to notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section, and based on the end of the advantageous section. Control is performed to turn off the LED incorporated in the section indicator SEC. In the present embodiment, since the LED built in the section indicator SEC is turned off in the normal section, it is determined whether or not the user is staying in the advantageous section by checking the lighting state of the section indicator SEC. Can be determined. The section display SEC does not need to be provided exclusively as in the present embodiment, and may be used also as the main display 300. For example, by switching on / off of a dot display unit for displaying a decimal point and the like of a 7-segment display, whether or not the user is staying in an advantageous section is indicated. May be turned on to notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section.

  The effect control unit 180 performs display effects performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage area 1928 provided in the sub ROM of the effect information storage means 190b. The control related to the sound effect performed using the sound device 340 (an example of the effect device) is performed. For example, when a medal is inserted, an operation on the bet button B0, the start lever SL, an operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3, an operation on the effect button B4, or the occurrence of a game event such as a change in the game state, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked. By changing the display content of the liquid crystal display LCD or outputting sound from the speaker, the execution of the effect for enhancing the game or assisting the game is controlled in accordance with the progress of the game. The contents of the effects performed in the game are as follows: the effect lottery table stored in the sub-lottery table storage area 1929 provided in the sub-ROM of the effect information storage means 190b is converted into the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like. It is determined by referring to it. In the present embodiment, image data corresponding to the progress of a game or the like is read from the effect data storage area 1928 of the sub ROM into the image buffer 1931 provided in the sub RAM, and based on the image data read into the image buffer 1931. The image is output to the liquid crystal display LCD, and the sound data corresponding to the progress of the game and the like is read from the effect data storage area 1928 of the sub ROM into the sound buffer 1932 provided in the sub RAM, and the sound read into the sound buffer 1932 is read. A sound based on the data is output from the speaker.

  Also, in this embodiment, the result of the internal lottery, the gaming state, the effect state, the type of the special AT state, the result of the AT lottery, the result of the special AT lottery, the result of the additional lottery, the result of the strong additional lottery, the promotion Various information such as the lottery result of the lottery, the value of the normal counter 1920, the value of the AT counter 1921, and the value of the special AT counter 1922 are notified from the main board to the sub board, and the effect control means 180 transmits the information notified from the main board. The execution of the effect is controlled based on.

  Then, when the production state is the AT state or the special AT state in the advantageous section, the production control means 180 notifies the correct batting order by notifying the correct batting order at the time of winning of either the eight-batting small part or the three-batting small part. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 execute a prize assisting effect for assisting the prize.

  In addition, when the effect state is the AT state in the advantageous section, the effect control means 180 notifies that the specific batting order and the BAR symbol “BAR” are displayed when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, and the replay 3 is performed. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 execute a prize assisting effect for assisting the prize.

  In addition, the effect control unit 180 causes the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a type notification effect of notifying the type of the special AT state in the special AT state. In the type notification effect, the type of lottery in which the lottery is performed in an advantageous lottery mode among the additional lottery, the strong additional lottery, and the promotion lottery is notified based on the type of the special AT state (special AT type parameter). Notifies the type of AT status. In detail, among the character A associated with the promotion lottery, the character B associated with the additional lottery, and the character C associated with the strong additional lottery, the character A is associated with the lottery performed in an advantageous lottery manner. The type of the special AT state is notified by displaying the character on the liquid crystal display LCD. For example, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the type of the special AT state is the type 1 in which the promotion lottery is an advantageous lottery mode, the character A associated with the promotion lottery is displayed, and the additional lottery is displayed. In the case of is the type 2 which is an advantageous lottery mode, the character B associated with the additional lottery is displayed, and when the type of the extra lottery is the advantageous lottery mode, the character B is associated with the strong additional lottery. The displayed character C is displayed. When the type of the special AT state is the type 4 in which the promotion lottery and the additional lottery are advantageous lottery modes, the character A and the character B are displayed, and the promotion lottery and the strong additional lottery are advantageous lottery modes. In the case of 5, the character A and the character C are displayed, and in the case of the type 6 in which the additional lottery and the strong additional lottery are advantageous lottery modes, the character B and the character C are displayed, the promotion lottery, the additional lottery, In the case where the additional lottery is the type 7 in which the lottery mode is advantageous, the character A, the character B, and the character C are displayed. As described above, in the present embodiment, an effect is executed in an effect mode corresponding to the type of the special AT state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the type of the special AT state fluctuates due to the winning of the promotion lottery in the special AT state, the character associated with the lottery in the advantageous lottery mode is newly displayed to thereby display the type of the special AT state. Notify.

  When the effect state is the AT state or the special AT state, the effect control means 180 displays the remaining number of games until the AT state ends on the liquid crystal display LCD based on the value of the AT counter 1921. Control to execute the effect is performed. In the remaining number display effect, when the value of the AT counter 1921 is subtracted in the AT state, the display content is changed to reflect the subtraction, and in the special AT state, the given value is changed to the value of the AT counter 1921. After the addition (addition), the display content is changed to reflect the added amount.

  When the effect state is the special AT state, the effect control means 180 executes a guaranteed game number display effect of displaying the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state on the liquid crystal display LCD based on the value of the special AT counter 1922. Perform control. In the guaranteed game number display effect, when the value of the special AT counter 1922 is subtracted in the special AT state, the display content is changed to reflect the subtraction.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 is added when the number of games in the AT state is added by the winning of the additional lottery in the special AT state, or when the minimum guaranteed number of games is added when the additional lottery is lost. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 execute an additional number notification effect for notifying the number of games played.

  In addition, when the special control state 180 wins the strong addition lottery in the special AT state, the effect control means 180 determines the number of added games, which is an effect performed over the two games of the game that has been selected for the strong addition lottery and the next game. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 execute the continuous production to be notified. In the continuous production, in the second game, each time the production button B4 is operated, a number is sequentially displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the number of games added (additional value added) is notified by the total value of the sequentially displayed numbers. To perform an additional production effect (information production).

  Specifically, the production control means 180 performs a control for validating the operation on the production button B4 when the game start operation on the start lever SL is performed in the next game of the game that has been strongly added and drawn in the special AT state. At the same time, a button image 400 for instructing or prompting the operation of the effect button 26 is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  When the effect button switch 250 is activated by the player pressing the effect button B4 in a state where the operation on the effect button B4 is validated, the effect control means 180 determines a predetermined number of games (a predetermined addition value). A) a scenario setting process for setting a scenario for notifying the addition; In the scenario setting process, one type of scenario table is selected from a plurality of types of scenario tables stored in a scenario table storage area 1930 (storage unit) provided in the sub ROM of the effect information storage unit 190b, and the selected scenario table is selected. One type of scenario is selected from a plurality of types of scenarios set in the scenario table, the scenario data of the selected scenario is read from the scenario table, and the read scenario data is provided in the sub RAM of the effect information storage means 190b. The scenario is set by writing to the created scenario storage area 1933.

  In the present embodiment, seven types of scenario tables (scenario table 1 to scenario table 7) as shown in FIGS. 21 to 22 are stored in the scenario table storage area 1930, and five types of scenario tables are stored in each scenario table. Alternatively, scenario data of 12 types of scenarios is set, and in each scenario data, a predetermined number of numbers to be sequentially displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is defined in advance. In particular, in the present embodiment, each scenario 5 (specific scenario) of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is configured to include a specific number (for example, 7) not included in other scenarios.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, all of scenarios 1 to 5 in the scenario table 1 are for notifying the addition of 10 games, and in the scenario table 2, the scenarios 1 to 4 is a scenario for notifying the additional number of games for 10 times, Scenario 5 is a scenario for notifying the additional number of games for 20 times, and in the scenario table 3, Scenario 1 to Scenario 4 Each of them is a scenario for notifying the additional number of games for 10 times, and the scenario 5 is a scenario for notifying the additional number of games for 30 times. In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, in each of the scenario tables 4 to 6, the scenario 1 is a scenario for notifying the addition of the number of games for 10 times, and the scenarios 2 to 3 are all games for 20 times. Scenarios in which the number of games is added are reported. Scenarios 4 to 5 are scenarios in which 30 games are added in number. Scenarios 1 to 4 are all 10 in the scenario table 7. Scenarios for notifying the additional number of games are provided. Scenario 5 to Scenario 7 are scenarios for notifying the additional number of games for 20 times. Scenarios 8 to 10 are provided for 30 times. Scenario 11 is for notifying the additional number of games. Scenario 11 is the number of games Has become a scenario for notifying the put, the scenario 12 has become a scenario for notifying the plus of the number of games 30 times.

  When the scenario is set, the effect control means 180 divides and notifies the added number of games by displaying the numbers sequentially on the liquid crystal display LCD every time the effect button B4 is operated according to the set scenario. When the completed scenario is completed, the scenario storage area 1933 is initialized, and if there is an unreported added game number (remaining value) that is a game number that has not been notified yet among the game numbers added after the winning in the strong addition lottery, Then, the scenario is set again with the operation of the effect button B4 as an opportunity. That is, in the present embodiment, the scenario setting process is performed each time the operation on the effect button B4 is performed (every predetermined condition is satisfied) in a state where no scenario is set in the continuous hit additional effect. In the present embodiment, the scenario is repeatedly set by the operation of the effect button B4 every time the set scenario ends, until the number of unadded additional games in the continuous hitting additional effect disappears, and the number of unreported additional games disappears. Then, a total display for displaying the total value of the sequentially displayed numbers on the liquid crystal display LCD is performed, and the effect of successive hits is completed.

  In detail, the effect control means 180 corresponds to the number of games in which the value of the unreported number counter 1934 provided in the sub RAM of the effect information storage means 190b is added when the lottery is selected in the special AT state. Each time the value is set to a value and the number of games added as a result of the strong addition lottery is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in the continuous hit addition effect, the number corresponds to the number displayed from the value of the unreported number counter 1934. By performing a decrement update of subtracting the value, the number of unreported added games is managed, and when the value of the unreported counter 1934 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the number of unreported added games has run out. Then, the total display is performed, and the continuous production is completed.

  In the scenario setting process, a scenario table is selected based on the number of unplayed additional games managed by the unreported number counter 1934. More specifically, when the number of added games that have not been notified is 80 or more (when the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is equal to or more than the value corresponding to the number of games of 80 (for example, 80)), the scenario table 7 is used. Is selected, and the number of unreported additional games is less than 80 and greater than or equal to 60 (the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is less than the value (for example, 80) corresponding to the number of games of 80 and 60) If the value is equal to or more than the number of games (for example, 60), the scenario table 6 is selected.

  If the number of unreported additional games is 50 (if the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is a value corresponding to the number of games of 50 (for example, 50)), the scenario table 5 is selected. When the number of added games to be notified is 40 (when the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is a value corresponding to the number of games of 40 (for example, 40)), the scenario table 4 is selected, and When the number of additional games is 30 (when the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is a value corresponding to the number of games of 30 (for example, 30)), the scenario table 3 is selected, and the unreported additional games are selected. When the number of times is 20 (when the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is a value corresponding to the number of games of 20 (for example, 20)), the scenario table 2 is selected, and the number of added games that has not been notified is added. If it is 10 times to select the scenario table 1 for (the value the value of the non notification counter 1934 corresponds to the number of games 10 times (e.g., if a 10)).

  When a scenario table is selected, in the scenario setting process, a scenario selection lottery for selecting one type of scenario from a plurality of types of scenarios set in the selected scenario table is performed. In the scenario selection lottery, one of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is obtained, and the obtained random number is compared with the scenario selection lottery table stored in the sub lottery table storage area 1929, and the comparison result is obtained. The scenario is determined according to. In the scenario selection lottery table, for example, one of a plurality of types of scenarios is assigned to each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767. Is selected.

  In the present embodiment, three types of scenario selection lottery tables (scenario selection lottery table 1 to scenario selection lottery table 3) are prepared as scenario selection lottery tables. In the scenario selection lottery, based on the type of the selected scenario table. To select a scenario selection lottery table. Specifically, when any one of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is selected, the scenario selection lottery table 1 in which the scenarios 1 to 5 are set as the lottery targets, or the scenarios 1 to 4 as the lottery targets. The set scenario selection lottery table 2 is selected according to the set value, and the scenario selection lottery table 1 is selected when the set value is equal to or more than the setting 4, and the scenario selection lottery table is selected when the set value is less than the set 4. Select 2. As described above, in the present embodiment, each of the scenarios 5 in the scenario tables 1 to 3 is selected only when the setting value is equal to or more than the setting 4, and this scenario 5 includes other scenarios. Since a specific number (for example, 7) that is not included in the scenario is included, when a specific number (for example, 7) appears in the repeated hit production, it is determined that the setting value is 4 or more. It has become.

  When any one of the scenario tables 4 to 6 is selected, the scenario selection lottery table 1 is selected. When the scenario table 7 is selected, the scenarios 1 to 12 are set as the lottery targets. The selected scenario selection lottery table 3 is selected. In the present embodiment, the selection probability of each scenario in the scenario selection lottery can be arbitrarily determined. May be set lower or higher than the selection probability. For example, in a scenario selection lottery performed when any of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is selected, a scenario 5 including a specific number (for example, 7) is selected. May be set lower or higher than the selection probabilities of Scenario 1 to Scenario 4.

  When a scenario is selected by the scenario selection lottery, in the scenario setting process, the scenario is set by reading the scenario data of the selected scenario from the scenario table and writing the read scenario data to the scenario storage area 1933. As described above, in the present embodiment, one scenario is selected from a plurality of types of scenarios based on the value (remaining value) of the number of additional games played, which is managed by the unreported number counter 1934, and the scenario is set. I do. In particular, in the present embodiment, scenario 5 (specific scenario) of the scenario table 1 for notifying the addition of the number of games for 10 times is selected when the number of additional games for which the notification has not been notified is 10 times, Scenario 5 (specific scenario) of the scenario table 2 for notifying the addition is selected when the number of added games that have not been notified is 20 and the scenario 5 of the scenario table 3 for notifying the addition of the number of games for 30 (specified scenario). Scenario) is selected when the number of unplayed additional games is 30 times.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of games to be added when the strong addition lottery is won is a number of games in units of 10 times, and each scenario is a scenario for notifying the addition of the number of games in units of 10 times, Each scenario (Scenario 1 to Scenario 5) of the scenario table 1 that is selected when the number of added games that have not been notified is 10 is a scenario that notifies the added number of games of 10 times. When the numbers are sequentially displayed in accordance with the given scenario, the total value of the sequentially displayed numbers matches the added number of games.

  In the present embodiment, each of the scenarios 5 of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is added to the number of games of the same value as the number of unadded games when each of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is selected. Therefore, when any one of the scenarios 5 of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is executed, the value of the unreported number counter 1934 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), and the additional hits are performed. The production ends. For this reason, in the present embodiment, once any of the scenarios 5 in the scenario tables 1 to 3 is selected in the continuous hit addition effect, a scenario (scenario including a specific number (for example, 7)) is selected in the current continuous hit addition effect. Each scenario 5) in Table 1 to Scenario Table 3 is not selected.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the functions are realized by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the game control unit 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240, etc., have their functions virtualized with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse or the like), a touch panel, or a controller. It can be realized by assigning them in a suitable manner. Further, in the computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable components, and these device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on a display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Method of the Present Embodiment The present embodiment adopts a method of resetting the number of guaranteed games when the type of the special AT state changes due to the promotion lottery winning in the special AT state. Hereinafter, a control method employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  First, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, when the special AT lottery is won in the AT state (Y in step S100), a selection lottery is performed (step S101), and the type selected in the selection lottery is changed to the special AT state. (Step S102), the value of the special AT counter 1922 is set to a value (for example, 5) corresponding to the number of guaranteed games (for example, 4 times) in the special AT state (step S103), and the effect state is set. A transition is made to the special AT state (step S104).

  Then, in the special AT state, as shown in FIG. 24, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S200), if the winning information of the strong addition lottery is held (Y in step S201). If a chance combination, chance replay or batting order replay B is won (Y in step S202), a special AT lottery is performed (step S203), and if a special AT lottery is won (Y in step S204), a stock counter 1923 is obtained. Is incremented by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the right to shift to the special AT state for one time to the value L (step S205).

  On the other hand, when the winning information of the strong addition lottery is not held (N in step S201), when the value M of the special AT counter 1922 is not a threshold value (for example, 0) (N in step S206), A decrement update is performed by subtracting a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game from the value M of the special AT counter 1922 (step S207), and the lottery is added in a lottery manner according to the type of the special AT state. A lottery and a promotion lottery are performed (step S208). When the type of the special AT state is the type 7, only the additional lottery and the strong additional lottery are performed, and the promotion lottery is not performed. Then, the lottery results of the three types of lottery are determined according to a predetermined priority. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the strong addition lottery has been won (step S209). If the strong addition lottery has been won (Y in step S209), a value corresponding to the number of played games is counted by the AT counter 1921. Is performed (step S210). In the case where the lottery is won, the winning information is held until the next game.

  On the other hand, if the lottery is lost in the strong addition lottery (N in step S209), it is determined whether or not the promotion lottery has been won (step S211), and if the promotion lottery has been won (if the fluctuation condition is satisfied). (Y in step S211), a type change process for changing the type of the special AT state to the winning type is performed (step S212), and the value of the special AT counter 1922 is changed to the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state (for example, four times). (For example, 5) (step S213).

  On the other hand, if a loss occurs in the promotion lottery (N in step S211), it is determined whether or not the additional lottery has been won (step S214). If the additional lottery has been won (Y in step S214), the winner has been won. An additional process of adding the value corresponding to the number of played games to the AT counter 1921 is performed (step S215). In addition, in the addition processing based on the winning of the additional lottery, if the number of games won in the additional lottery is larger than the minimum guaranteed number of games, a value corresponding to the number of selected games is added to the AT counter 1921. In the case where the number of played games is smaller than the minimum guaranteed number of games, a value corresponding to the minimum guaranteed number of games is added to the AT counter 1921.

  On the other hand, if a loss occurs in the additional lottery (N in step S214), it is determined whether or not the value M of the special AT counter 1922 has reached a threshold value (for example, 0). If the value M is not a threshold value (for example, 0) (N in step S216), an additional process of adding a value corresponding to the minimum guaranteed number of games to the AT counter 1921 is performed (step S215).

  On the other hand, when the value M of the special AT counter 1922 is a threshold value (for example, 0) (Y in step S216), the special AT state is ended and the effect state is returned to the AT state (step S217).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the special AT state, each time one game is played, three kinds of lottery, an additional lottery, a strong additional lottery, and a promotion lottery, are performed, and the strong additional lottery and the promotion lottery are won. Special AT state is a special AT state where the number of games in the assist time game in the AT state is easily added in order to add the number of games in the AT state when the additional lottery is won or the strong additional lottery is won without doing It is a section, and in the additional specialization section, the player can play an advantageous game. In the present embodiment, when shifting to the special AT state, the type of the special AT state is set, and three kinds of lotteries are performed in a lottery manner corresponding to the type of the special AT state. In order to change the type of lottery that becomes an advantageous lottery mode in accordance with the type of the AT state, the additional performance (privilege granting performance) of the special addition section based on the lottery mode such as the additional lottery or the strong additional lottery is changed to the special AT state. It can be changed according to the type, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the special AT state, the effect is performed in the effect mode corresponding to the type of the special AT state. Therefore, the effect mode can be changed according to the type of the special AT state. In the embodiment, among the character A associated with the promotion lottery, the character B associated with the additional lottery, and the character C associated with the strong additional lottery, the character A is associated with the lottery performed in an advantageous lottery manner. Since the displayed character is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, the type of lottery performed in an advantageous lottery manner can be notified to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the special AT state, if the promotion lottery is won without winning in the strong addition lottery, the type of the special AT state is changed (promoted), and the lottery mode according to the type of the special AT state is changed. In order to carry out the lottery of the type and to perform the effect in the effect mode according to the type of the special AT state, in the special AT state which is the additional special section, the lottery mode and the effect mode change during the game in the special AT state. I am getting it.

  In the present embodiment, when shifting to the special AT state, the number of guaranteed games is set, the special AT state is continued until the number of guaranteed games elapses, and after the number of guaranteed games elapses, every special game is performed. The special AT state is continued until all three types of lotteries are not won (losing), and if the type of the special AT state changes in the special AT state, the number of guaranteed games is reset. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if the type of the special AT state changes while the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state (for example, four times) is consumed, the number of guaranteed games is reset to four times, and the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state is reset. If the type of the special AT state changes after the number of games has been exhausted, the number of guaranteed games of four times is set again. Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the type of the special AT state changes in the special AT state, the special AT state can be continued until the number of guaranteed games elapses, and the type of the special AT state is promoted. Nevertheless, the situation in which the special AT state ends immediately despite the situation can be avoided, giving the player a sense of security that the special AT state does not end for a certain period of time, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the continuous hit additional production effect of notifying the number of added games when a strong addition lottery is won, a method of switching a scenario table based on an unannounced number of played games among the added number of games is adopted. I have. Hereinafter, a control method employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  First, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, when a strong addition lottery is won in the special AT state (Y in step S300), the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is set to a value corresponding to the added number of games. (Step S301).

  Then, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the next game of the game that has won the strong addition lottery (Y in step S302), the operation on the effect button B4 is enabled (step S303), and the button image 400 is displayed on the liquid crystal display. It is displayed on the LCD (step S304).

  When the operation on the effect button B4 is performed (Y in step S305), it is determined whether or not the scenario is being executed, specifically, whether or not a scenario is set in the scenario storage area 1933 (step S306). If the scenario is not being executed (the scenario is not set) (N in step S306), a scenario setting process is performed (step S307).

  In the scenario setting process, as shown in FIG. 26, a scenario table is selected based on the value N of the unreported number counter 1934, and the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is set to a value corresponding to the number of games of 80 (for example, 80) or more (Y in step S400), the scenario table 7 is selected (step S401), and the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is less than a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the number of games played 80 times. If the number is equal to or greater than the value corresponding to the number of games played 60 (for example, 60) (N in step S400, Y in step S402), the scenario table 6 is selected (step S403) and the unreported number counter 1934 Is less than a value (for example, 60) corresponding to the number of games played 60 times and equal to or more than a value (for example, 50) corresponding to the number of games played 50 times (N in step S402, Y in step S404), the scenario table 5 is selected (step S405), and the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is less than a value (for example, 50) corresponding to the number of games played 50 times and 40 If the value is equal to or more than the value corresponding to the number of games (for example, 40) (N in step S404, Y in step S406), the scenario table 4 is selected (step S407), and the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is set. Is less than the value corresponding to the number of games played 40 (for example, 40) and equal to or more than the value corresponding to the number of games played 30 (for example, 30) (N in step S406, Y in step S408), The scenario table 3 is selected (step S409), and the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is less than a value (for example, 30) corresponding to the number of games played 30 times. If the number is equal to or greater than the value corresponding to the number of games played 20 (for example, 20) (N in step S408, Y in step S410), the scenario table 2 is selected (step S411). If the value N is less than the value corresponding to the number of games played 20 (for example, 20) (N in step S410), the scenario table 1 is selected (step S412).

  When a scenario table is selected, a scenario selection lottery for selecting one type of scenario from a plurality of types of scenarios set in the selected scenario table is performed (step S413), and the scenario data of the scenario selected by the selection lottery is obtained. A scenario is set by reading from the scenario table and writing the read scenario data to the scenario storage area 1933 (step S414).

  When the scenario setting process is completed (step S307), as shown in FIG. 25, the number is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD according to the set scenario (step S308), and the number corresponding to the displayed number from the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 is displayed. When the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 has not reached the threshold value (for example, 0) (N in step S310), the operation on the effect button B4 is performed. Is performed (Y in step S305), a number is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD according to the set scenario (step S308), and the value corresponding to the displayed number is subtracted from the value N of the unreported number counter 1934, and decremented. Update is performed (step S309).

  When the scenario ends before the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) (N in step S310, Y in step S311), the scenario storage area 1933 is initialized. The scenario data of the set scenario is deleted (step S312), and when the effect button B4 is operated (Y in step S305), the scenario setting process is performed again (N in step S306, step S307).

  When the value N of the unreported number counter 1934 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) (Y in step S310), a total display for displaying the total value of the sequentially displayed numbers on the liquid crystal display LCD is performed (step S313). Then, the scenario data of the set scenario is deleted by initializing the scenario storage area 1933 (step S314), and the operation on the effect button B4 is invalidated (step S315).

  Subsequently, referring to FIGS. 27 to 30, a specific example of a case in which the number of games played is added 100 times by the winning of the strong addition lottery and the set value is set to 4 or more will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 30. Will be described.

  First, assuming that the number of games has been increased by 100, for example, after winning the strong addition lottery, the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is set to a value (for example, 100) corresponding to the number of added games of 100 times. Then, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the next game of the game that has won the strong addition lottery, the operation on the effect button B4 is validated, and as shown in FIG. When the button image 400 is displayed in the center of the display area and the first operation is performed on the effect button B4, the display position of the button image 400 is changed to the display area of the liquid crystal display LCD as shown in FIG. Change from the center to the lower right.

  When the first operation is performed on the effect button B4, a scenario setting process is performed. In this scenario setting process, since the number of unreported additional games managed by the unreported number counter 1934 is 100, the scenario table 7 is selected, and as shown in FIG. If “12” is selected, as shown in FIG. 27C, “+10” is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in response to the current operation, and the second operation on the effect button B4 is performed, as shown in FIG. As shown in (D), “+10” displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced size, and “+10” is displayed in response to this operation, and the third operation on the effect button B4 is performed. As shown in FIG. 27 (E), “+10” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and “+10” is displayed in response to the current operation. That. Then, the current scenario ends, and the number of unplayed additional games becomes 70.

  Then, when the fourth operation is performed on the effect button B4, the scenario setting process is performed again because no scenario has been set. In this scenario setting process, since the number of additional games that have not been notified is 70, the scenario table 6 is selected, and as shown in FIG. 28A, if scenario 5 is selected by the scenario selection lottery, FIG. As shown in (B), “+10” displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced size, and “+3” is displayed in response to this operation, and the fifth operation on the effect button B4 is performed. As shown in FIG. 28C, “+3” displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced scale, and “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation. When the operation is performed, as shown in FIG. 28 (D), “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and “+3” is displayed in response to the current operation. When the seventh operation is performed, “+3” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation, as shown in FIG. When the eighth operation is performed on the effect button B4, as shown in FIG. 28F, "+1" displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and "+10" is displayed in response to the current operation. Is displayed, and when the ninth operation is performed on the effect button B4, as shown in FIG. 28G, "+10" displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed in response to the current operation. When "+1" is displayed and the tenth operation is performed on the effect button B4, "+1" displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed as shown in FIG. Respond to operations When the eleventh operation is performed on the effect button B4, "+10" displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed at the same time as shown in FIG. 28 (I). “+1” is displayed in response to the operation. Then, the current scenario ends, and the number of unplayed additional games becomes 40.

  Then, when the twelfth operation is performed on the effect button B4, the scenario setting process is performed again because no scenario has been set. In this scenario setting process, since the number of additional games that have not been notified is 40, the scenario table 4 is selected, and as shown in FIG. 29A, if scenario 4 is selected by a scenario selection lottery, As shown in (B), “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced size, and “+1” is displayed in response to this operation, and the thirteenth operation on the effect button B4 is performed. As shown in FIG. 29 (C), "+1" displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced scale, and "+5" is displayed in response to the current operation. When the operation is performed, as shown in FIG. 29D, “+5” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation. When the fifteenth operation is performed on No. 4, as shown in FIG. 29E, “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and “+10” is displayed in response to the current operation. When the 16th operation is performed on the effect button B4, “+10” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed in response to the current operation, as shown in FIG. 29 (F). When the seventeenth operation on the effect button B4 is performed, as shown in FIG. 29 (G), “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and the current operation is performed. In response, "+10" is displayed, and when the 18th operation is performed on the effect button B4, "+10" displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed as shown in FIG. this time "+1" is displayed in response to the operation, and when the 19th operation is performed on the effect button B4, "+1" displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed as shown in FIG. 29 (I). And “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation. Then, the current scenario ends, and the number of additional games that have not been notified becomes ten.

  Then, when the twentieth operation is performed on the effect button B4, the scenario setting process is performed again because no scenario has been set. In this scenario setting process, since the number of additional games that have not been notified is 10, the scenario table 1 is selected, and as shown in FIG. 30A, if scenario 5 is selected by a scenario selection lottery, As shown in (B), “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced scale, and “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation, and the 21st operation on the effect button B4 is performed. As shown in FIG. 30C, “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is displayed in a reduced scale, and “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation. When the operation is performed, as shown in FIG. 30 (D), “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and “+1” is displayed in response to the current operation. When the 23rd operation is performed on No. 4, as shown in FIG. 30E, “+1” displayed in response to the previous operation is reduced and displayed, and “+7” is displayed in response to the current operation. Let it. Then, the current scenario ends, and the number of additional games that have not been notified becomes zero, so that “+100”, which is the total display, is displayed as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL during the execution of the continuous hit addition effect, the scenario storage area 1933 is initialized, and the value of the unreported number counter 1934 is set to an initial value (for example, It is initialized to 0), and the effect is added forcibly and the effect is forcibly ended.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a strong addition lottery is won in the special AT state, the continuous production is executed over the game of the strong addition lottery and the next game, and the continuous production is performed. In the second game being executed, a continuous hit addition effect is executed. In the continuous hit addition effect, a scenario setting process of setting a scenario every time the operation on the effect button B4 is performed in a state where the scenario is not set is performed and set. In accordance with the scenario, each time the effect button B4 is operated, the number of games added is divided and displayed by sequentially displaying the numbers on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the number of games added is notified by the total value of the sequentially displayed numbers. .

  In the scenario setting process, one type of scenario table is selected from a plurality of types of scenario tables based on the value of the number of additional games played, which is managed by the unreported number counter 1934, and set in the selected scenario table. Since one type of scenario is selected from a plurality of types of scenarios and the scenario is set, an abundant variation can be provided in a pattern of numbers sequentially displayed in the consecutive hit addition effect. In particular, in the present embodiment, by switching the scenario table based on the value of the number of additional games that have not been notified, it is possible to set a detailed scenario even when a large additional value is generated. Can be provided. As a result, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to enrich the variation of the staging effect and to enhance the interest of the game.

  Also, in this embodiment, the scenario can be used in common for different added games by switching the scenario table based on the value of the number of added games that have not been notified. Thus, the data amount can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of types of scenarios are individually prepared.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each scenario 5 of the scenario tables 1 to 3 including a specific number (for example, 7) is added to the number of unplayed additional games when the scenario table including the scenario is selected. Since it is configured as a scenario for notifying the addition of the same number of game times, when the specific scenario is executed, the value of the unreported number counter 1934 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), and the continuous addition effect ends. Thus, according to the present embodiment, if any one of the specific scenarios (the respective scenarios 5 of the scenario tables 1 to 3) including the specific number (for example, 7) is set once, the current consecutive hit is added. In the effect, it is possible not to use a specific scenario, and it is possible to appropriately control the frequency of appearance of a specific number (for example, 7) in the repeated hit effect.

  Particularly, in the present embodiment, a specific scenario including a specific number (for example, 7) is selected only when the set value is 4 or more. For example, when 7) appears, it is determined that the set value is 4 or more. If a specific number frequently appears when a specific number (for example, 7) appears during a continuous hit addition as in the present embodiment and a set value is suggested, the player is given a specific number. May be difficult to understand that it is also a number that indicates a set value as it is regarded as a number indicating only the number of additional games, but in this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately control the appearance frequency of a specific number Since it is possible, it is possible to appropriately express that the specific number is a special number indicating the set value, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the effect.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be described below. The above embodiments and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which, in the special AT state, the rendering mode and the lottery mode of the three types of lottery are changed according to the type of the special AT mode, but only the rendering mode may be changed. . That is, in this example, regardless of the type of the special AT state, the additional performance based on the lottery mode such as the additional lottery or the strong additional lottery (special AT state) may be set to the same. Further, in this example, when the type of the special AT state changes due to the winning of the promotion lottery (when a new character is additionally displayed in the special AT state), the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state can be reset.

  In the above embodiment, the case of managing the type of the special AT state by the special AT type parameter has been described as an example. However, the additional lottery flag associated with the additional lottery (character B), the strong additional lottery (character C) The type of the special AT state is managed by the setting state of the three types of flags (parameters relating to the mode of the specific game section) of the strong addition lottery flag associated with, and the promotion lottery flag associated with the promotion lottery (character A). You may make it. In this example, when the type 1 is selected by the selection lottery, only the promotion lottery flag is set to the ON state, and when the type 2 is selected by the selection lottery, only the additional lottery flag is set to the ON state, and the selection lottery is set. When the type 3 is selected in, only the strong addition lottery flag is set to the ON state, and when the type 4 is selected in the selection lottery, only the additional lottery flag and the promotion lottery flag are set to the ON state, and in the selection lottery, When the type 5 is selected, only the promotion lottery flag and the strong addition lottery flag are set to the ON state, and when the type 6 is selected in the selection lottery, only the addition lottery flag and the strong addition lottery flag are set to the ON state. When the type 7 is selected in the selection lottery, the additional lottery flag, the strong additional lottery flag, and the promotion lottery flag are set to the ON state, and the player is elected when the promotion lottery is won. A predetermined flag is set to the ON state in accordance with another, and in the special AT state, the lottery corresponding to the flag set to the ON state is performed in an advantageous lottery manner, and the flag set to the OFF state is set. For the corresponding lottery, the lottery is performed in a normal lottery manner, and when all three types of flags are on, the additional lottery is more advantageous than when one or two types of flags are on. Alternatively, a lottery with strong addition may be performed. Further, in this example, the effect is executed in an effect mode according to the setting state of the three types of flags, the character B is displayed when the additional lottery flag is on, and when the strong additional lottery flag is on. The character C may be displayed, and the character A may be displayed when the promotion lottery flag is on.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the special AT state is managed by the type of the special AT state has been described as an example. However, the special AT state may be managed by the effect state. For example, as the effect state, seven effect states (parameters relating to the mode of the specific game section) of special AT state 1 to special AT state 7 corresponding to the special AT state types 1 to 7, respectively, are prepared. When the type 1 is selected in, the production state is shifted to the special AT state 1, and when the type 2 is selected in the selection lottery, the production state is shifted to the special AT state 2, and the type 3 is selected in the selection lottery. When the effect state is changed to the special AT state 3, when the type 4 is selected by the selection lottery, the effect state is shifted to the special AT state 4, and when the type 5 is selected by the selection lottery, the effect state is changed. Shift to special AT state 5, shift the production state to special AT state 6 when type 6 is selected by selection lottery, and shift to production state to special AT state 7 when type 7 is selected by selection lottery Let's get promoted In the case of winning, the game is shifted (promoted) to a production state corresponding to the type of the winning, and in the special AT state 1 to the special AT state 7, three kinds of lotteries are performed in a lottery mode according to the production state, and the state is determined according to the production state. The effect may be executed in the effect mode.

  In the above embodiment, in the special AT state, when any one of the eight-stroke order small win and the three-stroke order small win is won, the privilege giving means 175 notifies the correct answer order and the effect control means 180 performs the prize assisting effect. In the special AT state, the notification of the correct hit order and the prize assist effect need not be executed in the special AT state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the number of special AT state security games is reset when the type of the special AT state fluctuates due to the winning of the promotion lottery in the special AT state has been described as an example. When the type of the special AT state changes while the number of games is consumed, a value (for example, 4) corresponding to the number of guaranteed games (for example, 4) in the special AT state is added to the value of the special AT counter 1922. Thus, the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state may be added. It should be noted that, even if the additional lottery or the strong additional lottery is won during the consumption of the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state, the special AT state is obtained by adding the value corresponding to the given number of games to the value of the special AT counter 1922. May be added to the number of guaranteed games in the special AT state, for example, instead of adding the given number of games to the remaining number of games in the AT state. The number of games may be added, or the given number of games may be added to the remaining number of games in the AT state, and the given number of games may be added to the remaining number of guaranteed games in the special AT state. It may be.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the number of guaranteed games is set as the security condition of the special AT state has been described as an example. However, the security condition of the special AT state is not limited to the number of games. The number of wins (for example, the number of wins in the eight-stroke order small role, the number of wins in the three-stroke order small role, the number of wins in the eight-stroke order small role or the three-stroke order small role, the number of wins in the normal replay, etc.) The number of times (for example, the number of winnings of the correct answer small part, the number of winnings of the replay 2, etc.), the number of executions of the correct hit order (or the winning assisting effect), the number of paid out medals, and the difference between the number of inserted medals and the paid out number. The security condition may be set according to the number of sheets. That is, the continuation of the special AT state may be guaranteed until the count value such as the number of wins of the specific combination reaches the threshold value.

  Further, for example, a first special AT state and a second special AT state are prepared as special AT states, and the count value is updated each time a predetermined update condition is satisfied in the first special AT state, and the count value is set to a threshold value. When the count value reaches the threshold value, the count value is initialized to an initial value, the next set of games in the first special AT state is started, and the transition condition of the second special AT state is satisfied before the count value reaches the threshold value. In this case, the count value is initialized to an initial value, the state is shifted from the first special AT state to the second special AT state, a continuous lottery is performed in the second special AT state, and if the continuous lottery is won, the first special AT is selected. When the game is shifted to the state and the next set of games in the first special AT state is started, and if the game is not won by the continuous lottery, the game is shifted to the AT state, the second special AT state in the first special AT state Transition condition is satisfied It may be used as the security condition that to continue the first special AT state until it.

  Further, for example, in a case where the specific effect is executed when the specific condition is satisfied in the special AT state, the guarantee condition may be that the special AT state is continued until the specific condition is satisfied.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, based on the fact that all three types (or two types) of lotteries performed for each game when the security condition is not set in the special AT state are unsuccessful (losing). Although the case where the special AT state is ended is described as an example, the condition for ending the special AT state is not limited to this. For example, the number of wins of a specific combination (for example, The number of wins of the small hitting small win, the number of wins of the eight-hitting small win or the number of wins of the three-hitting small win, the number of wins in the normal replay, etc. The special AT state ending condition is set based on the number of times of winning of the prize, the number of executions of the correct hitting order information (or the prize assisting effect), the number of payout medals, the difference number which is the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of payouts. West It may be. That is, when the security condition is not set in the special AT state, the special AT state may be ended based on the fact that the count value such as the number of wins of the specific combination reaches the threshold value. In this example, when the count value related to the end of the special AT state is updated every time a predetermined update condition is satisfied in the special AT state, a predetermined number of times (for example, two times) is counted even if the update condition is satisfied. Maintaining the value may be a security condition. That is, in this example, when the security condition is not set in the special AT state, the count value related to the end of the special AT state is updated every time a predetermined update condition is satisfied. Is set, the count value associated with the end of the special AT state is maintained even if the predetermined update condition is satisfied, and the predetermined update condition is satisfied if the security condition is set in the special AT state. The update of the count value may be started when it is determined that the security condition is satisfied when the predetermined number of times (for example, two times) is satisfied.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the specific value (for example, 7) appears in the consecutive hit addition effect and the setting value is determined to be equal to or more than the setting 4 is described as an example, but the specific number (for example, 7) is used. When it appears, it may be determined that the number of additional games is equal to or more than a specific number (for example, 100). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 31, scenario tables 8 to 10 are further prepared as scenario tables in addition to scenario tables 1 to 7, and scenario 4 and scenario table 9 of scenario table 8 are prepared. Scenarios 4 and 5 are configured to include a specific number (for example, 7). Further, each scenario 5 of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is not provided. In the scenario setting process, the scenario table 10 is selected when the number of unreported additional games is 160 or more, and when the number of unreported additional games is less than 160 and 130 or more, the scenario table 10 is selected. 9 is selected, and the scenario table 8 is selected when the number of unreported added games is less than 130 and is 100 or more, and the scenario table 8 is selected when the number of unreported added games is less than 100 and 80 or more. , The scenario table 7 is selected. In this way, only when the number of added games is 100 or more, specific scenarios (specifically, scenario 4 of scenario table 8, scenario 4 and scenario 5 of scenario table 9) including a specific number (for example, 7) are performed. The number of added games can be determined to be 100 or more by the appearance of a specific number (for example, 7). In this example, once a specific scenario is set, if a scenario table including the specific scenario is selected in the scenario setting process during the execution of the consecutive hit add-on effect, the specific scenario included in the scenario table is selected. May be excluded from the lottery target and a scenario selection lottery may be performed so that the specific scenario is not used in the current consecutive hit addition effect.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case of performing the extra hit effect in the special AT state when the lottery is won is described as an example. However, the continuous impact effect is performed in the AT state, the normal effect state, or the high probability state. It may be. For example, when the chance combination or the chance replay is won in the AT state, a strong addition lottery may be performed, and when the strong addition lottery is selected, a continuous addition effect may be executed.

  Further, for example, the value of the specific counter is updated in the normal effect state or the high probability state, and when the value of the specific counter reaches the threshold value, the effect state is shifted to the AT state. When the role or chance replay is won, a predetermined additional lottery is performed, and when the additional lottery is won, a given additional value is added to a specific counter, and a continuous hit additional effect for notifying the added value is executed. It may be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the number of games to be added is set to the number of games in units of 10 when the strong addition lottery is won is described as an example. However, the number of games to be added may be set to the number of games in units of one. . In this example, if the number of unplayed additional games is less than 30 times in the continuous hit additional production, any one of the scenario tables 1 to 3 is selected based on the number of unreported additional games. When the number of additional games that have not been notified has been exhausted, the scenario may be terminated and the total display may be performed even in the middle of the scenario, so that the consecutively added effects may be terminated.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where numbers are sequentially displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD every time the operation on the effect button B4 is performed in the continuous hit additional effect has been described as an example. For example, the effect button B4 is in a pressed state ( The display signal is sequentially displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD based on the operation signal from the effect button switch 250), and the scenario setting process is performed when the effect button B4 is pressed in a state where no scenario is set. When the effect button B4 in the pressed state is released, the display of numbers may be interrupted, and when the operation on the effect button B4 is performed again, the interrupted display of numbers may be resumed.

  Further, for example, the operation on the bet button B0 may be validated in the continuous hit addition effect, and the number may be sequentially displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD every time the operation on the bet button B0 is performed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the numbers displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD are continuously displayed until the total display is performed in the continuous hit addition effect has been described as an example. The numbers may be hidden.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where one kind of numeral (for example, 7) is provided as a specific numeral to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in the continuous hit addition effect has been described as an example. It may be provided.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where a number greater than or equal to “1” is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in the continuous striking effect is described as an example, but “0” may be displayed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the scenario setting process is performed each time the operation on the effect button B4 is performed in a state where the scenario is not set in the continuous hit add effect has been described as an example. When the first operation is performed, all the scenarios may be set at the start of the consecutive hits selection by repeatedly performing the scenario setting process until the number of additional games that have not been notified becomes “0”.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the additional processing is performed in the game that has been selected in the strong addition lottery in the special AT state. However, the additional processing is performed in the next game of the game that has been selected in the strong addition lottery. Is also good. In this example, the additional processing may be performed when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the next game of the game that has won the strong additional lottery (when a predetermined additional condition is satisfied), In the strong addition lottery, the presence or absence of addition is determined, and the number of additional games is prepared in advance with the number of games associated with the result of the internal lottery. The number of added games is set to 80 for the three batting order small combination, batting order replay A, and the batting order replay B, and the number of added games is set to 100 for special small combination. The number of added games is set to 150, the number of added games is set to 200 for the chance role, and the internal lottery is performed in the next game of the game selected for the strong added lottery. May perform addition processing based on the result of the internal lottery when is performed (when a predetermined plus condition is satisfied).

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the number of games is counted in the AT state and the end of the AT state is managed based on the number of games has been described as an example. However, the number of executions of the correct hitting order notification (or the prize assisting effect) and the payout of medals. The number of medals or the difference between medals is counted, and the AT state is determined based on the number of executions of the correct hit order (or prize assisting effect) (count value), the number of payout medals (count value), or the difference between medals (count value). The termination may be managed. In this example, when a strong addition lottery or an additional lottery is won in the special AT state, when the end of the AT state is managed by the number of executions of the correct answer batting order (or the winning assisting effect), the correct answer batting order notification (or In the case where the given number of executions is added to the remaining number of executions of the prize assisting effect) and the end of the AT state is managed by the number of paid out medals, the given number of paid outs relative to the remaining number of paid out medals If the end of the AT state is managed by the difference number of medals, a given difference number may be added to the remaining difference number of medals.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which, as the winning modes of the small wins in the normal state and the bonus established state, the winning modes in which the correct answer small wins 1 to 5 overlap are not provided. A winning mode may be provided in which these roles are won in duplicate. In the normal state and the bonus established state, there may be a winning mode in which only some or all of these roles are duplicated, or only some of these roles are duplicated. An aspect and a winning aspect in which all of these roles are duplicated and won may be mixed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as a winning mode of the small winning combinations in the bonus state, there has been described a case where there is no winning mode in which the correct answer small wins 1 to 5 do not overlap each other, but in the bonus state, these winning combinations are mutually exclusive. A winning mode of winning without overlapping may be provided. Further, in the bonus state, a winning mode in which only some or all of these roles are repeatedly won may be set, and a winning mode in which only some of these roles are repeatedly won, and A winning mode in which all of the roles are duplicated and won may be mixed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the winning probability of all the small wins is set higher than the normal state or the bonus established state in the bonus state is described as an example. However, in the bonus state, at least one small win (for example, , The correct answer small part 1, the special small part, and the chance part) may be raised as compared with the normal state and the bonus state. The remaining small part may be the same as the normal state and the bonus state. The probability may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the AT lottery in the normal section has been described as an example of determining whether or not to start the advantageous section and whether or not to shift to the assist time game. May be performed separately from the lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the assist time game. For example, based on the fact that any of the chance, JAC1, and chance replay has been won by the internal lottery in the normal section, an advantageous section lottery that determines whether or not to start an advantageous section is performed. Based on the winning, an AT lottery (specific lottery) for determining whether or not to shift to the assist time game is performed, an advantageous section is started based on the winning of the advantageous section lottery, and according to the result of the AT lottery. The effect state may be shifted. In the advantageous section lottery, a winning or a loss is determined by associating the random number for the internal lottery with a winning or a loss. In the AT lottery, an AT or a high probability win is associated with the random number for the internal lottery. May be used to determine the lottery result.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) changes according to the set value has been described as an example. However, the winning probability may not be changed depending on the set value.

  In the above embodiment, the AT lottery may be performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the process may be shifted to the advantageous section when the AT lottery is won.

  In the above embodiment, the gaming machine using medals as a gaming medium has been described as an example. However, the control method according to the present embodiment uses a gaming machine (ball game machine, pachinko ball) that handles a gaming ball (pachinko ball) as a gaming medium. For example, in a ball game machine that includes a game area in which a game ball moves and fires a game ball in the game area in response to an operation of a player, the game area is provided in the game area. When the detecting means detects a game ball, a special lottery is performed, and if a jackpot is won in the special lottery, the game state is shifted to the special game state, and a special game of a predetermined number of rounds is executed in the special game state. When the special game state is completed, the special game state is ended, and in the special game of each round, the special winning object provided in the game area is opened from the closed state to the open state by operating the special role closing the special winning opening to open the special winning opening. Each time a predetermined time (e.g., 29 seconds) elapses after the special accessory is opened or a predetermined number (e.g., nine) of game balls enter the large winning opening, each round is completed. When a game ball enters the winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out, and at the start of the special game state or during the special game state, the total number of game balls paid out in the special game state (for example, (2000 balls) may be executed as the notification effect for notifying the user of the above-described embodiment. In this example, an effect button that can be operated by the player is provided on the ball-and-ball game machine, a scenario setting process is performed each time an operation on the effect button is performed in a state where the scenario is not set, and the effect button is set according to the set scenario. The number may be sequentially displayed on the display device each time an operation is performed on, so that the total number of game balls to be paid out in the special game state may be divided and reported, and finally the total display may be performed. In this example, the jackpot winning probability may be changed according to the set value.
