  The main CPU executes a program stored in the main ROM based on a signal from each device connected to the main control processing unit 100 or a signal from a timer counter (not shown) input to the main control processing unit 100. It reads out and executes various processes, and transmits commands to the sub-control processing unit 200 according to the results of the processes. In the main RAM, a game information storage area 150 for storing information related to the game is constructed, and functions as a work area for data during processing by the main CPU.

  In the game information storage area 150, an AT game number storage area 150a for storing the number of AT games, and a right (hereinafter, referred to as an AT right) for shifting to an AT mode which is an effect mode for executing an AT game. AT storage area 150b for storing (stocking). One set (predetermined number) of AT games is provided in the AT mode based on the fact that one AT right is stocked in the AT storage area 150b.

  In the main ROM, start lever activation means 101 for validating the operation of the start lever 9 by inserting a specified number of medals, and the operation of the activated start lever 9 (hereinafter referred to as a game start operation). An internal lottery means 102 for determining one of a plurality of types of winning areas associated with a role by an internal lottery, and a winning flag control means for establishing a winning flag of a role associated with a winning area determined by an internal lottery. 103, a reel control means 104 for controlling the rotation and stop of each of the reels 5 to 7, and a symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the activated line L (hereinafter, referred to as "the small combination (NML) has won"). ), The medal payout means 105 for paying out a predetermined number of medals associated in advance with the small combination, and a symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination is displayed on the activated line L. (Hereinafter, it is referred to as “the re-game player (REP) has won.”) In this case, the re-game setting means 106 for setting the re-game to enable the next game without inserting the specified number of medals, A game state control means 107 for controlling a game state which is an operation state of the control processing unit 100, a main monitor control means 108 for controlling display on the main monitor 13, controlling a transition of a game section between an advantageous section and a non-advantaged section. An effect mode control means 110 for controlling an effect mode, which is an operation state of the sub control processing unit 200, is provided.

  The game state is roughly divided into a normal state, an inside of the RBB, and an RBB operation, as shown in FIG. The winning probability of the small winning combination in each game state is set to about 1 / 7.0 in the normal state and in the RBB, and set to 1 / 1.1 in the RBB operation.

  The effect mode is roughly divided into a non-AT mode and an AT mode (advantageous state) as shown in FIG. 5, and the non-AT mode includes a normal mode, a pullback mode (first state), and a special mode (second state). State), and the AT mode includes a pseudo BIG mode and a pseudo REG mode. As will be described later in detail, in the present embodiment, after the end of the AT mode, the mode is not immediately shifted to the normal mode (fall), but the mode is first shifted to the retraction mode having a high expected value for re-transition to the AT mode (retraction). Let it. Then, in the pull-back mode, if the pull-back mode is completed without deciding to re-enter the AT mode, the mode is shifted to the normal mode after passing through the special mode having a high expected value for the stock of the AT right. Is configured. In other words, in the present embodiment, the AT mode is not immediately shifted to the normal mode, and after the AT mode ends, the mode is first shifted to the retraction mode, and the mode is again shifted to the AT mode as a bonus relating to the game (first privilege). Is determined, and even if the pullback cannot be performed in the pullback mode, the mode is shifted to the special mode and the stock of the AT right (second privilege) is provided as the privilege related to the game. A decision is made as to whether or not the vehicle is to fall down to the normal mode.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the sub control processing unit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and mainly controls execution of each effect performed during the game. The sub-control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub-control processing unit 200.

The sub RAM functions as a work area for data during the arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

  In the sub-ROM, based on an instruction from the main control processing unit 100, an effect mode transition unit 201 that shifts the effect mode between a plurality of effect modes, an effect mode determining unit 202 that determines an effect, and the determined effect. An effect executing means 203 executed by an effect device such as the sub monitor 17 is constructed.

  Next, each means constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

  The start lever activating means 101 activates the operation of the start lever 9 by inserting a prescribed number (three) of medals in the normal state, the inside of the RBB, and the RBB operation.

  The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number for internal lottery at the timing when the game start operation of the activated start lever 9 is performed, and based on the acquired random number and the type of the current game state, a plurality of One winning area is determined from the types of winning areas.

  As shown in FIG. 3, “winning” (No. 0), which is not associated with any combination, is associated with a plurality of types of winning areas, and “batting order bell” in which NML1 and NML2 are at least overlapped and associated. (No. 1 to 3), "Common Bell" (No. 4) in which NML3 is independently associated, "Cherry" (No. 5) in which NML4 is independently associated, and NML5 alone. “Watermelon” (No. 6), “Normal lip” (No. 7) in which REP1 is independently associated, “Special lip” (No. 8) in which REP2 is independently associated, and the role of RBB "RBB" (No. 9), which is associated solely.

  In the present embodiment, the winning areas “Cherry”, “Watermelon”, and “special lip” are the winning areas that trigger the execution of the AT lottery that determines whether to grant the AT right to shift to the AT mode. is there. In the case of winning in any of the above-mentioned winning areas in the non-AT mode and the AT mode, as shown in FIG. 6, the winning probability of the AT lottery (hereinafter, the AT winning probability) depends on the type of the staging mode in which it is staying. ) Can be changed, and the AT lottery is executed. Specifically, the AT winning probability is set to 5% at the time of cherry winning, 10% at the time of watermelon winning, and 3% at the time of special lip winning when staying in the normal mode, the pseudo BIG mode, and the pseudo REG mode. Also, when staying in the first pull-back mode and the second pull-back mode, it is set to 10% at the time of cherry winning, 20% at the time of watermelon winning, and 6% at the time of special lip winning. Also, when staying in the special mode, it is set to 4% when the cherry is won, 9% when the watermelon is won, and 2% when the special lip is won. Note that the above-described AT winning probability at the time of staying in each of the effect modes is not limited to the above value, and can be appropriately changed.

  Here, in the second pull-back mode and the special mode, when an AT lottery (hereinafter, referred to as a special AT lottery) executed when the special lip is won is won, the reeling effects of the reels 5 to 7 are performed. It is executable. As will be described in detail later, when the torso effect is executed, a plurality of AT rights are given and these AT rights can be stocked. In the following, for the special AT lottery, the AT lottery executed when the cherry or watermelon is won is referred to as a normal AT lottery, and when simply called the AT lottery, both the normal AT lottery and the special AT lottery are used. I will include it. When the cherry is won, regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, NML4 is won and nine medals are paid out, and when the watermelon is won, the NML5 is won and the nine medals are won regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Pay out medals. Also, at the time of winning the special lip, regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, REP2 is won and a replay is set (operated).

  The winning area “bat order bell” is a generic name of the winning areas “bat order bell A” to “bat order bell C”. When one of the batting order bells A to C is won, the stop button operation (stop operation) is performed in the batting order of “9 pieces” shown in FIG. 3 (for example, batting order 1 and 2 (1st left in batting order A)). If performed, NML1 is won and nine medals are paid out. On the other hand, if a stop operation is performed in the hit order of “1 or 0” shown in FIG. 3 (for example, hit order 3 to 6 (middle 1st, right 1st in hit order bell A)), stop buttons 10 to 12 According to the operation timing, NML2 can be won, and one medal is paid out by the NML2 winning. When one of the batting order bells A to C is won in the AT mode, the batting order of the above-mentioned “9 pieces” (hereinafter referred to as “correct hitting order”) is notified to the player on the main monitor 13 and the sub monitor 17 and the like. .

  In the winning area “RBB”, in a normal state, the winning is not notified by the effect device, and a symbol combination (hereinafter, referred to as an RBB symbol) corresponding to the RBB combination is provided on each reel 5-7. This is a combination of symbols arranged only in one symbol row. Therefore, even if the player wins the RBB, it is difficult to display the RBB symbol on the activated line L in accordance with the operation mode of the stop button.

  When the winning area "common bell" is won, NML3 is won and nine medals are paid out regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. When the winning area "normal lip" is won, REP1 is won and a replay is set (activates the replay) regardless of the operation mode of the stop button.

  If the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery is a winning flag for a small role or a replaying role, the winning flag control means 103 does not carry over these winning flags to the next game. In this way, it is set to OFF before the start of the next game. If the winning flag established based on the internal lottery is a winning flag related to the RBB combination, the winning flag control means 103 carries over the flag until the RBB symbol is displayed on the activated line L.

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of each of the reels 5 to 7 based on the game start operation, accelerates the rotation of each of the reels 5 to 7 until the reels 5 to 7 reach a steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute), When the rotation speed reaches the steady rotation, the operation of all the stop buttons 10 to 12 is enabled when the rotation speed of each reel reaches the steady rotation.

  Further, the reel control unit 104 stops the rotation of the corresponding reel in accordance with the activated operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12. Specifically, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms after the stop operation of each of the stop buttons 10 to 12. At this time, the reel can be rotated by a maximum of four symbols (four frames) from the timing of pressing the corresponding stop button (five frames including the symbol displayed on the active line L at the timing of pressing the stop button). .

  Further, the reel control means 104 controls the reels such that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination having the largest medal payout number is preferentially displayed on the activated line L in accordance with the winning flag establishment state. Number priority control for controlling the reels so that the symbol combination corresponding to the hand with the largest number of symbols is displayed preferentially on the activated line L, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying hand and the small hand is given priority over the RBB hand. Logic calculation for searching for the symbol with the highest pull-in priority by the role priority control for controlling reels to be displayed on the activated line L, and / or referencing a stop control table (not shown) stored in the main ROM in advance. , The highest priority symbol among the symbol combinations related to the winning combination corresponding to the established winning flag is displayed on the activated line L. Pull and kicking not to display the symbol combination associated with the role of the winning flag other than winning flag is established to enable the line L, stopping the reel corresponding to the stop button 10 to 12.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the special AT lottery is won in the second pull-back mode or the special mode, the reel control means 104 controls the reels so as to execute the torso effect according to a predetermined probability (details). Is omitted). On the other hand, when the special AT lottery is won in the normal mode, the pseudo BIG mode, the pseudo REG mode, or the first pull-back mode, the reels are controlled so as not to execute the torso effect. The torso effect is a freeze in which the operation of the stop button is not allowed and the progress of the game is temporarily interrupted. As described above, when the spinning effect is executed in the second pullback mode or the special mode, the player can grasp the winning of the special AT lottery and the grant of a plurality of AT rights based on the winning.

  The medal payout unit 105 pays out a predetermined number of medals associated in advance with the small win when the small win is won.

  The re-game setting means 106 sets a re-game which enables the next game when the re-game combination is won, regardless of the insertion of a specified number of medals.

  The game state control means 107 controls the transition of the game state between the normal state, the inside of the RBB, and the RBB operation. Hereinafter, transition of the game state will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the normal state, all the winning areas are subjected to the internal lottery (internal lottery table a in FIG. 3), and when the RBB is won, the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state to the inside of the RBB. (FIG. 4a). Inside the RBB, all the winning areas except the RBB are targets of the internal lottery (internal lottery table b in FIG. 3), and the game state control means 107 sets a case where the RBB symbol is displayed on the activated line L Then, the game state is shifted to the RBB operation (FIG. 4B). In the RBB operation, all the winning areas except the normal lip, the special lip, and the RBB are subjected to the internal lottery (the internal lottery table c in FIG. 3), and the gaming state control unit 107 sets the medal payout in the RBB operation. When the number reaches the predetermined number, the game state is shifted to the normal state (c in FIG. 4). When the RBB is won in the normal state, the operation may be shifted to the RBB operation without passing through the RBB (d in FIG. 4).

  In this embodiment, the winning probability of the RBB in the normal state is set to an extremely high value (for example, about 1 / 3.0) as compared with other winning areas, so that the RBB is won in a short time in the normal state. Then, the process moves to the inside of the RBB. In addition, the RBB symbol is a symbol combination that is difficult to be displayed on the activated line L as described above, and the medal payout number serving as an end condition in the RBB operation is set to a relatively small value (for example, 30). The transition from the RBB operation to the normal state is made in a short time. Therefore, most games proceed while staying inside the RBB.

  When one of the batting order bells A to C is won during the AT mode, the main monitor control means 108 sets the number identifying the instruction information signal relating to the correct batting order for winning the NML1 having the medal payout number of nine to the main monitor. 13 is displayed. Further, the main monitor control means 108 controls the section display 13b of the main monitor 13 to be turned on or off according to the type of the game section. Specifically, the main monitor control unit 108 turns on the section display 13b when the section is in the advantageous section, and turns off the section display 13b when the section is in the non-favorable section. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main monitor control unit 108 may turn on the section display 13b only during an advantageous section corresponding to the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode.

  The game section control means 109 shifts to the advantageous section when it is determined that the granted AT right is immediately released based on winning in the AT lottery (normal AT lottery, special AT lottery) in the non-advantaged section. When an AT is generated and it is determined not to immediately release the granted AT right, a transition is made to an advantageous section and the AT is not generated. In the following description, an advantageous section in which an AT has occurred is referred to as an "AT-occurring section", and an advantageous section in which an AT has not occurred is referred to as a "non-AT-occurring section". The non-AT occurrence section after the end of the non-advantageous section is referred to as a “normal non-AT occurrence section”.

  The game section control means 109 terminates the AT occurrence section and executes the non-AT occurrence section based on the fact that one set has executed 20 games of the AT game (hereinafter referred to as a pseudo REG game) in the AT occurrence section. While shifting to the section, the AT occurrence section is maintained without terminating the AT occurrence section based on the fact that one set has executed 40 games of the AT game (hereinafter, referred to as a pseudo BIG game).

  On the other hand, in the normal non-AT occurrence section, the game section control means 109 immediately sets the granted AT right as a pseudo BIG game or a pseudo REG game based on winning in an AT lottery (normal AT lottery, special AT lottery). When it is determined that the AT right is to be released, the section shifts to the AT occurrence section, and when it is determined not to immediately release the granted AT right, the normal non-AT occurrence section is maintained without shifting to the AT occurrence section.

  Then, the game section control means 109 determines the number of games in the non-AT occurrence section (hereinafter, referred to as a withdrawal non-AT occurrence section) after the end of the AT occurrence section to be 96, and the number of games in the non-AT occurrence section is 96. Based on the execution of the game a number of times, the withdrawal non-AT occurrence section is terminated and shifted to a non-advantaged section.

  In the present embodiment, the AT has a high winning probability until the first to 32nd games in the pullback non-AT occurrence section are executed (hereinafter, referred to as a first pullback non-AT occurrence section). Lottery (normal AT lottery, special AT lottery) can be executed, and until the 33rd to 96th games in the pullback non-AT occurrence section are executed (hereinafter, referred to as a second pullback non-AT occurrence section). ), An AT lottery with a high winning probability (normal AT lottery, special AT lottery) can be executed. Then, in the first retraction non-AT occurrence section, the game section control means 109 shifts (re-transfers) to the AT occurrence section again based on winning in the AT lottery, and in the second retraction non-AT occurrence section. , When it is determined that the granted AT right is to be released immediately based on the winning in the AT lottery, and when it is decided to shift to the AT occurrence section again and not to release the granted AT right immediately Then, the second retraction non-AT occurrence section is maintained without shifting to the AT occurrence section.

  The effect mode control unit 110 changes the effect mode (normal mode, AT mode (pseudo-BIG mode, pseudo-BIG mode, etc.)) in accordance with the transition of the game section (normal non-AT occurrence section, AT occurrence section, retraction non-AT occurrence section, non-advantageous section). The transition between the pseudo REG mode), the retraction mode (the first retraction mode, the second retraction mode), and the special mode is controlled. Specifically, a normal mode is associated with a normal non-AT occurrence section, an AT mode is associated with an AT occurrence section, a retraction mode is associated with a retraction non-AT occurrence section, and a special mode is associated with a non-advantaged section.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence section), when one AT right is granted by the winning of the AT lottery, a process relating to the granted AT right is performed with a 30% probability. The transition to the pseudo-BIG mode (hereinafter, referred to as BIG-AT immediate release) (A in FIG. 5) and the stock of the right to transition to the pseudo-BIG mode with a probability of 30% (hereinafter, referred to as the BIG-AT stock). ), And a transition to the pseudo REG mode (hereinafter referred to as REG-AT immediate release) (B in FIG. 5) with a probability of 40%. When the BIG-AT stock is performed in the normal mode, the normal mode is maintained.

  In the normal mode, when 800 games have been executed without reaching the AT lottery (the player has reached the so-called ceiling), the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode (A in FIG. 5). Although a detailed description is omitted, when a BIG-AT immediate release or a REG-AT immediate release is performed as a process related to the AT right, the pseudo BIG mode or the pseudo REG mode is set after suggesting the winning of the AT lottery. Move to

  In the pseudo BIG mode (AT occurrence section), when the execution of the pseudo BIG game is completed, if the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stored in the AT storage area 150b, one is extracted, and this is extracted. Based on the extracted right, the pseudo BIG mode is again stayed in the pseudo BIG mode (AT occurrence section) (C in FIG. 5), and the pseudo BIG mode is looped (pseudo 1G continuous loop). On the other hand, if the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is not stocked, the pseudo BIG mode is terminated and then the mode is shifted to the pseudo REG mode (AT occurrence section) (D in FIG. 5).

  In the pseudo REG mode (AT occurrence section), when one AT right is granted by the winning of the AT lottery, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stored in the AT storage area 150b as a process related to the granted AT right. Stock. Then, when the pseudo REG game has been executed in the pseudo REG mode, the pseudo REG mode is ended and the AT is ended to shift to the first retraction mode (first retraction non-AT occurrence section) (FIG. 5E).

  In the first pull-back mode (first pull-back non-AT occurrence section), when one AT right is granted by the winning of the AT lottery, a pseudo BIG is stored in the AT storage area 150b as a process related to the granted AT right. Without stocking the right to enter the mode, it is allocated to BIG-AT immediate release (G in FIG. 5) and REG-AT immediate release (F in FIG. 5) with a probability of 40%, respectively. However, in the first pull-back mode, when 32 games have been executed without winning the AT lottery, the game is shifted to the second pull-back mode (second pull-back non-AT occurrence section) (H in FIG. 5). ).

  In the second pull-back mode (second pull-back non-AT occurrence section), when one AT right is granted by winning the normal AT lottery, the processing related to the granted AT right has a 20% probability. Is allocated to the BIG-AT immediate release (K in FIG. 5), the stock of the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode with a probability of 60%, and the REG-AT immediate release (M in FIG. 5) with a probability of 20%. On the other hand, in the second pullback mode, when a special AT lottery is won, five AT rights are given with a probability of 20%, and one AT right is given with a probability of 80%. At this time, as a process relating to one AT right out of the five granted, the BIG-AT immediate release (K in FIG. 5) with a probability of 30%, and the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode with a probability of 70%. Allocated to stock. The remaining four AT rights are all stocked as the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode. Then, in the second pullback mode, when the game has been executed 64 times without determining to shift to the pseudo BIG mode, the mode is shifted to the special mode (non-advantageous section) (N in FIG. 5). At this time, since the gaming section shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantaged section, all the rights stored in the AT storage area 150b are discarded.

  In the present embodiment, in the second pullback mode, it is determined that five AT rights are to be granted when the special AT lottery is won, and in the special mode, ten AT rights are won when the special AT lottery is won. When it is determined that the AT right is to be granted, a torso effect using the reel operation is executed.

  In the special mode (non-advantageous section), when one AT right is granted by winning the normal AT lottery, as a process related to the granted AT right, a BIG-AT immediate release (20% probability) is performed. P) in FIG. 5, the stock of the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode with a probability of 60%, and REG-AT immediate release (R in FIG. 5) with a probability of 20%. On the other hand, when the special AT lottery is won in the special mode, 10 AT rights are granted with a probability of 100%, and the processing relating to one AT right out of the 10 granted is performed as 30 BIG-AT immediate release (P in FIG. 5) with a probability of 70%, and a stock of the right to enter the pseudo BIG mode with a probability of 70%. Note that the remaining nine AT rights are all stocked as the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode. In the special mode, one of the normal AT lottery and the special AT lottery is won, and the AT mode is maintained until the AT right is granted. If the AT right is granted, the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence) is performed. Section). In the present embodiment, even if the AT right is not granted in the special mode, the special mode may be configured to end after a predetermined number of games has elapsed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the AT mode advantageous to the player who easily obtains medals ends, the advantageous section is maintained so as not to end, and the first pullback corresponding to this advantageous section is maintained. In the mode and the second retraction mode, an opportunity for re-transition to the AT mode is secured. Then, in the second pull-back mode in which the number of games is predetermined (second pull-back non-AT occurrence section), if it is not possible to realize the re-transition to the AT mode, the game section is shifted from the advantageous section to the non-AT section. After shifting to the advantageous section, all the rights to shift to the pseudo BIG mode stored in the AT storage area 150b are discarded. In this inferior section, the special AT lottery is performed by winning the special lip, The right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode can be stocked in large quantities.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the effect mode control means (state control means) 110 includes AT game control means (first privilege provision means, second privilege provision determination means, second privilege provision means) 111 for controlling AT games. And a batting order effect execution determining means 112 for deciding execution of an effect according to the batting order instruction, an effect mode shift determining means 113, and an effect command transmitting means 114.

  The AT game control means 111 includes an AT lottery means (a second privilege granting means) 111a for executing an AT lottery, and an AT management means (a first privilege granting means, (2nd privilege granting means) 111b, AT game deciding means (second privilege granting deciding means) 111c for deciding processing on AT right based on winning of AT lottery, and AT game number managing means for managing the number of AT games 111d. The details of the processing by the AT lottery means 111a, the AT management means 111b, and the AT game determination means 111c have already been described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, so that the description will be simplified below.

  The AT lottery means 111a executes a normal AT lottery based on either a cherry or watermelon win, and executes a special AT lottery based on a special lip win. For example, the winning probability of the normal AT lottery is higher than that of the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence section), the pseudo BIG mode (AT occurrence section), and the pseudo REG mode (AT occurrence section) in the first and second pullback modes (first time). , The second withdrawal non-AT occurrence section) has a higher probability.

  The AT management unit 111b grants the AT right based on the winning of the AT lottery. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, one AT right is won when the normal AT lottery is won, and one, five, or ten AT rights are won when the special AT lottery is won. The AT right is granted by storing the AT right in the AT storage area 150b.

  Further, if the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode stored in the AT storage area 150b is “1” or more after the pseudo BIG mode ends, the AT management unit 111b extracts one right. .

  When the AT management means 111b grants the AT right by the winning of the AT lottery, the AT game determination means 111c performs BIG-AT immediate release, BIG-AT stock, REG-AT immediate release as processing relating to the granted AT right. (See FIG. 6).

  The AT game number management unit 111d stores the number of executable AT games in the AT game number storage area 150a based on the transition of the effect mode to the AT mode. Specifically, “40” is stored as the number of AT games based on the transition to the pseudo BIG mode, and “20” is stored based on the transition to the pseudo REG mode.

  Further, the AT game number management means 111d subtracts “1” from the number of AT games stored in the AT game number storage area 150a every time a game is played in the AT mode. Note that if the number of stored AT rights (the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode) is “0” after the end of the pseudo BIG mode, the AT game frequency management unit 111d newly sets the AT game frequency to “0”. 20 "is stored. This is for shifting to the pseudo REG mode after the end of the pseudo BIG mode and enabling the AT game to be executed 20 times per set in the pseudo REG mode.

  The batting order effect execution determining means 112 determines that the sub-monitor 17 is to execute an auxiliary effect for notifying the correct hitting order to win the NML 1 when the result of the internal lottery in the AT mode is any of the hitting order bells A to C. I do.

  The effect mode shift determining means 113 determines the shift from the normal mode to the AT mode based on the shift from the normal non-AT occurrence section to the AT occurrence section, and returns from the AT occurrence section to the withdrawn non-AT occurrence section (first, first). The transition from the AT mode to the retraction mode (first and second retraction modes) is determined based on the transition to the second retraction non-AT occurrence section, and the transition from the retraction non-AT occurrence section to the non-advantaged section is determined. , A transition from the retraction mode to the special mode is determined, and a transition from the special mode to the normal mode is determined based on the transition from the non-advantaged section to the normal non-AT occurrence section. In addition, the transition from the retraction mode to the AT mode is determined based on the transition from the withdrawal non-AT occurrence section to the AT occurrence section, and the special mode and the AT mode are determined based on the transition from the non-advantaged section to the AT occurrence section. Decide on a transition to.

  The effect command transmitting unit 114 transmits to the sub-control processing unit 200 a command including information on the type of the effect mode and information on the hitting order of the stop button. For example, when the execution of the auxiliary effect is determined by the batting order performance execution determining unit 112, the performance command transmitting unit 114 transmits a command (batting order command) including batting order information to the sub-control processing unit 200. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the batting order command, the effect executing means 203 causes the sub-monitor 17 to execute a batting order effect in accordance with the batting order information included in the batting order command.

  In the slot machine S of the present embodiment configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 7, a predetermined number of medals are inserted (S1), the start lever 9 is activated (S2), and the game of the start lever 9 is performed. With the start operation (S3), an internal lottery is performed (S4), and a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery is set to ON (S5). On the other hand, based on the game start operation of the start lever 9, the rotation of each of the reels 5 to 7 is simultaneously performed on condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of rotation of each of the reels 5 to 7 in the previous game. (S6), the operation of all the stop buttons 10 to 12 is enabled after all the reels have reached the normal rotation (S7), and the corresponding reels are stopped based on the operation of each of the stop buttons 10 to 12. (S8). Next, a game result determination process is performed to determine whether or not a symbol combination related to a winning combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery in step S4 is displayed on the activated line L and whether or not a winning is achieved (S9). In accordance with the result determination process, a medal payout process based on the winning of the small winning combination (S10), a replay setting process based on the winning of the replaying game (S11), and a transition of the gaming state due to the RBB symbol being displayed on the activated line L and the like. Processing (S12), a winning flag control processing (S13) for controlling ON / OFF of a winning flag according to the result of the game result determination processing is performed, and one game is ended.

  Next, a control process relating to the AT right at the time of staying in each effect mode (hereinafter, referred to as AT control process) will be described with reference to flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining AT control processing when staying in the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence section). It is determined whether or not an AT lottery is performed by winning one of the cherry, watermelon, and special lip (S101). If the AT lottery is performed (Yes in S101), whether or not the AT lottery is won is determined. Is determined (S102). At this time, if the AT lottery has been won (Yes in S102), it is determined whether or not the release of the AT right has been determined (S103), and the release of the AT right has been determined (S103). (Yes in S103), an AT occurrence section in which an AT is occurring is set (S104), the transition to the AT mode is determined (S105), and the process is terminated. On the other hand, when the AT lottery is not performed (No in S101) and when the AT lottery is not won (No in S102), the process is terminated and it is not determined that the AT right is released (S103). No), that is, when it is determined that the BIG-AT stock is performed, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked (S106). After this, the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence section) is maintained (S107), and the process ends.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the AT control processing when staying in the pseudo BIG mode (AT occurrence section). Regarding the AT control processing when staying in the pseudo BIG mode, if the player has won the AT lottery (Yes in S202), the BIG-AT stock is performed, that is, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked ( S203) The AT control processing when staying in the normal mode shown in FIG. 8 is different from the AT control processing shown in FIG. 8 in that the pseudo BIG mode (AT occurrence section) is maintained (S204). Detailed description is omitted.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the AT control processing when staying in the pseudo REG mode (AT occurrence section). Regarding the AT control processing when staying in the pseudo REG mode, when the player has won the AT lottery (Yes in S302), the BIG-AT stock is performed, that is, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is always stocked. (S303) The AT control process during staying in the normal mode shown in FIG. 8 is different from the AT control process shown in FIG. 8 in that the pseudo REG mode (AT occurrence section) is maintained (S304). Detailed description is omitted.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining AT control processing when staying in the first withdrawal mode (first withdrawal non-AT occurrence section). Regarding the AT control processing during the stay in the first pull-back mode, when the player has won the AT lottery (Yes in S402), the BIG-AT immediate release or the REG-AT immediate release is performed (S403), and the pseudo BIG mode or The AT control processing during the stay in the normal mode shown in FIG. 8 is different from the AT control processing in staying in the normal mode shown in FIG. 8 in that the mode is shifted to the pseudo REG mode (AT occurrence section) (S404). Description is omitted.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the AT control processing when staying in the second retraction mode (second retraction non-AT occurrence section). It is determined whether an AT lottery has been performed by winning one of the cherry, watermelon, and special lip (S501). If the AT lottery has been performed (Yes in S501), whether the AT lottery has been won is determined. Is determined (S502). At this time, if the player has won the AT lottery (Yes in S502), it is determined whether or not the player has won the special AT lottery (S503). If the player has won the special AT lottery (Yes in S503), It is determined whether a plurality of AT rights have been granted (S504). If a plurality of AT rights have been granted (Yes in S504), a torso effect is executed (S505), and the process proceeds to step S506. Then, in step S506, it is determined whether BIG-AT immediate release or REG-AT immediate release is determined based on one of the plurality of granted AT rights, and BIG-AT immediate release is determined. Alternatively, when the REG-AT immediate release is determined (Yes in S506), an AT occurrence section is set (S507), the transition to the AT mode is determined (S508), and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if BIG-AT immediate release or REG-AT immediate release is not determined based on one of the granted AT rights (No in S506), all of the granted AT rights are not determined. The right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked by the amount corresponding to the number (S509), the second retraction mode (second retraction non-AT occurrence section) is maintained (S510), and the process ends. If the answer is No in Steps S501 and S502, the process is terminated. If a plurality of AT rights are not granted (No in S504), the process proceeds to Step S506 without executing the torso effect. .

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the AT control processing during the special mode stay (non-advantageous section). With regard to the AT control processing at the time of staying in the special mode, when the special AT lottery has been won (Yes in S603), a plurality of AT rights are always granted (S604), and the torso effect is executed (S605). This is different from the AT control processing at the time of staying in the second retraction mode shown in FIG. When the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked by an amount corresponding to the number of all the granted AT rights (S609), the shift to the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence section) is determined (S610). This is different from the AT control processing at the time of staying in the second retraction mode shown in FIG. In other respects, since they are almost common, detailed description is omitted.

  Next, a specific example of the game of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This specific example is an example in which a game is started from the normal mode in a state where one right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked.

  In the normal mode (normal non-AT occurrence section), the AT right was awarded by winning the AT lottery. The execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is determined based on the AT right, and the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode (AT occurrence section). At this time, the pseudo BIG game of the first set is based on the AT right granted by the winning of the AT lottery in the normal mode. However, since one right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked, one set is set. After the first pseudo BIG game was completed, the pseudo BIG game was again stayed and the second set of pseudo BIG games was started (pseudo 1G continuous loop).

  In the present embodiment, the condition for shifting from the special mode to the normal mode is to stock the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode. For this reason, when a transition is made to the normal mode via the special mode, one or more rights to the transition to the pseudo BIG mode are always stocked in the normal mode. For this reason, in a case where the AT lottery is won in the normal mode and the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode, the pseudo BIG mode is extended. In this embodiment, since the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stored in the main RAM, when the main RAM is cleared, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is not stored in the normal mode. Will stay in. In this case, even if the player wins the AT lottery in the normal mode and shifts to the pseudo BIG mode, the pseudo BIG mode is not always extended.

  Returning to FIG. 14, after the second set of the pseudo BIG game is completed in the pseudo BIG mode, the mode is shifted to the pseudo REG mode. In the present embodiment, when the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is not stocked, the mode shifts to the pseudo REG mode. For this reason, it is possible to grasp that the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is not stocked by the shift to the pseudo REG mode. Then, in the pseudo REG mode, after the execution of the AT game (pseudo REG game) 20 times in one set, the mode is shifted to the first pull-back mode in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is relatively high. At this time, the player expects a re-transition from the first retraction mode to the AT mode.

  In the first pullback mode (first pullback non-AT occurrence section), 32 games were played without winning the AT lottery. As a result, although re-transition to the AT mode could not be realized, transition to the second retraction mode (second reversion non-AT occurrence section) where the grant of AT rights can be expected has been made.

  In the second pull-back mode (second pull-back non-AT occurrence section), a special AT lottery was performed by winning a special lip, thereby granting five AT rights. At this time, based on one of the five AT rights, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is not allocated to the AT immediate release (BIG-AT immediate release, REG-AT immediate release), but five are reserved. Was done. However, without releasing the AT right, the game was executed 64 times in the second pullback mode, and the mode shifted to the special mode (non-advantaged section). As a result, all the rights to shift to the pseudo BIG mode that have been stocked in the AT storage area 150b have disappeared. However, in the special mode, more AT rights can be stocked than in the second pullback mode. The game continued without stopping due to the shift to the non-advantaged section.

  In the special mode (non-advantageous section), the special mode is ended and the mode is shifted to the normal mode based on the fact that the special AT lottery is won by the special lip winning and ten AT rights are granted. The player was able to stock more AT rights than expected in the second retraction mode, as expected.

  In the normal mode, the BIG-AT immediate release is determined based on the fact that one AT right has been awarded by winning the AT lottery, and a transition is made to the pseudo BIG mode with ten AT rights stocked. Then, in this pseudo BIG mode, the player executed 11 (= 1 + 10) sets of pseudo BIG games, and was able to acquire a large number of medals.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even after the AT mode (advantageous state) ends, the privilege (first privilege) of shifting to the retraction mode (first state) and re-transferring to the AT mode is provided. Since it is possible to provide the AT mode, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for re-transition to the AT mode even after the AT mode ends.

  In the present embodiment, the special mode (second state) is shifted on condition that the re-shift to the AT mode is not determined in the pullback mode. In this special mode, a plurality of AT rights ( Second privilege) can be provided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play due to the termination of the retraction mode.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section is maintained for a long period of 96 games even in the pullback mode without terminating the advantageous section after the end of the AT mode. Then, in the advantageous section of the pullback mode, when the 96 games are consumed without winning the AT lottery, the game section is shifted from the advantageous section to the non-advantaged section and stored in the AT storage area 150b. It is configured to discard all AT rights. However, in the present embodiment, since it is possible to shift to the special mode that enables a large stock of the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode in the non-advantaged section, it is possible to prevent the game from being stopped immediately.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the retraction mode includes the first retraction mode and the second retraction mode. After the AT mode ends, the mode is shifted to the first retraction mode, and the mode is again shifted to the AT mode. Even if it is not possible to re-transfer to the AT mode in the first retraction mode, a transition is made to the second retraction mode, and a chance of re-transition to the AT mode and the AT mode is provided. Therefore, as compared with the case where the pullback mode is only one effect mode, the expected value of the pullback can be increased, and it is possible to prevent the player from immediately stopping the game after the end of the AT mode.

  According to the present embodiment, after the AT mode ends, the mode is shifted to the first retraction mode, after the first retraction mode is ended, the mode is shifted to the second retraction mode, and after the end of the second retraction mode, the mode is shifted to the special mode. After the end of the special mode, the mode is shifted to the normal mode. As described above, between the termination of the AT mode and the transition to the normal mode, there are provided three-stage effect modes that enable re-transition to the AT mode and stock of the AT right. For this reason, even if the AT mode ends, it is possible to enjoy whether or not a bonus relating to the game can be obtained in each of these three different rendering modes, so that the game after the end of the AT mode is not bored. Has become.

  Next, a modified example according to the above embodiment will be described. In the above-described embodiment, in the special mode, a plurality of AT rights for shifting to the AT mode can be stocked. However, in this modification, there is no processing for stocking the AT right, and the pseudo right after the pseudo BIG mode ends. Whether or not to re-transfer to the BIG mode (loop) is determined by a re-transfer lottery, and the special mode is different in that the re-transfer rate (loop rate) to the pseudo BIG mode can be increased in advance. Hereinafter, points different from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the present modification, the AT game control means 110a includes a re-migration drawing means for executing a re-migration drawing when the pseudo BIG mode ends, and a re-migration rate changing means for changing a re-migration rate which is a winning probability of the re-migration drawing. (Second privilege granting means, second privilege granting means). In the special mode, the re-transfer rate changing means increases the re-transfer rate from the initial value of 30% to 50% based on the special AT lottery, and based on the normal AT lottery. Maintain the retransfer rate at 30%.

  The effect mode is roughly classified into an AT mode and a non-AT mode. The non-AT mode includes a normal mode, a third retraction mode to which the mode is shifted after the end of the AT mode, and a special mode to which the mode is shifted after the end of the third mode. It is included.

  The game section control means 109 immediately releases the granted AT right as a pseudo BIG game or pseudo REG game based on winning in an AT lottery (normal AT lottery, special AT lottery) in a normal non-AT occurrence section. When it is determined that the AT right section is to be transferred, and when it is determined that the granted AT right is not immediately released, the normal non-AT occurring section is maintained without shifting to the AT right section. Then, the game section control means 109 determines the number of games in the third retraction non-AT occurrence section (third retraction mode) after the end of the AT occurrence section to be eight, and eight times in the third retraction non-AT occurrence section. The third withdrawal non-AT occurrence section is terminated and shifted to the non-advantaged section based on the execution of the game, and the AT occurrence section or the normal non-AT occurrence is determined based on the winning of the AT lottery in the non-advantaged section. Move to the section.

  In the normal mode, the mode is shifted to the AT mode based on the winning of the AT lottery. In the AT mode, the third retraction mode (the third retraction non-AT occurrence section) is performed based on the execution of a predetermined number of AT games. Move to In the third pull-back mode, the mode is shifted to the AT mode again based on the winning of the AT lottery, and the mode is shifted to the special mode based on the execution of eight games without winning the AT lottery. In the special mode, the re-transfer rate is increased to 50% based on winning in the special AT lottery, and then the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode, and the re-transfer rate is reduced to 30% based on the fact that the normal AT lottery is won. After maintaining, the mode is shifted to the normal mode. Note that the number of games in the third pullback mode is not limited to eight and can be changed as appropriate.

  In the case where the game mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode based on winning in the special AT lottery in the special mode, the re-migration lottery is executed in accordance with a 50% re-migration rate in the final game of the pseudo BIG mode. On the other hand, when the game mode shifts to the pseudo BIG mode via the normal mode based on winning in the normal AT lottery in the special mode, the game is re-shifted according to a 30% re-shift rate in the final game of the pseudo BIG mode. Perform a lottery. For this reason, the re-transfer rate to the pseudo BIG mode is higher in the special AT lottery in the special mode than in the normal AT lottery, and the pseudo BIG mode is terminated after the pseudo BIG mode ends. The possibility of reentering the mode is increased, and the number of AT games in the AT mode can be increased in advance.

  In the pseudo BIG mode, if the re-transfer lottery in which the re-transfer rate is set to 50% is not won, the process shifts to the third retraction mode via the pseudo REG mode. In the third pull-back mode, when the player wins the AT lottery, the game is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode again, and in the final game of the pseudo BIG mode, the re-transfer lottery is executed again at a re-transfer rate of 50%. On the other hand, when the game is executed eight times without winning the AT lottery in the third pullback mode, the mode shifts to the special mode. At this time, the game section shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantaged section. Then, the re-migration rate is reset to 30%. However, in the special mode, if the special AT lottery is won, the re-transfer rate can be increased again as described above. In the above description, the re-migration lottery is performed in the final game of the pseudo BIG mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the re-transfer lottery is performed at a predetermined timing from the transition to the pseudo BIG mode to the end of the pseudo BIG mode. A shift lottery may be executed.

  According to this modification, it is determined whether or not a re-transition to the AT mode (first privilege) is to be given as a bonus related to the game in the third retraction mode (first state), and in the special mode (second state). Since it is determined whether or not to increase the re-transfer rate to the pseudo BIG mode (second privilege) as a privilege related to the game, even if the AT mode ends, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play the game.

  Also, in the advantageous section after the end of the instruction function (AT) (the advantageous section in the third pullback mode), when the AT lottery is won, the instruction function is generated and the AT lottery is not won. However, in the non-advantaged section, an increase in the re-transfer rate to the pseudo BIG mode can be provided. Therefore, even after ending the instruction function, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play.

  In the above embodiment, the AT mode includes the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode, but is not limited thereto. For example, the AT mode may include only the pseudo BIG mode. In this way, the execution of either the BIG-AT immediate release process or the BIG-AT stock process is determined as the process related to the AT right based on the winning of the AT lottery. Can be simplified as compared with the above embodiment.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the processing related to the AT right, there is not provided a processing for stocking the AT right for shifting to the pseudo REG mode (hereinafter, referred to as REG-AT stock). Although re-transition was not executable, the present invention is not limited to this, and REG-AT stock may be provided and re-transition to the pseudo REG mode may be performed. In this case, the AT game determination means 111c executes any one of BIG-AT immediate release, BIG-AT stock, REG-AT immediate release, and REG-AT stock according to a predetermined probability based on the winning of the AT lottery. Decide to do it. In this case, the variation of the game in the AT mode is increased, so that the playability in the AT mode can be improved.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the AT mode is selected in the special mode and the mode is shifted to the normal mode, the BIG-AT immediate release, the BIG-AT stock, And REG-AT immediate release is determined to be executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the special AT lottery is won in the special mode, the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release may be always determined based on the AT lottery in the normal mode. In this case, special flag control means for controlling a special flag indicating that the special AT lottery has been won in the special mode is provided. When the special AT lottery is won, the special flag is set to ON, and the special flag is set to ON. By referring to the special flag, the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is always determined at the time of winning the AT lottery in the normal mode, and then the special flag may be set to OFF. In this way, if the player wins the AT lottery in the normal mode after the transition from the special mode, the player can always transition to the pseudo BIG mode and execute the AT game, so the player is expected to win the special AT lottery in the special mode. It can make you feel more.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, ten AT rights are granted only when the special AT lottery is won in the special mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. , Ten AT rights may be granted. In this case, even when the normal AT lottery is won, the execution of the process related to the AT right may be determined according to the same probability as that at the time of winning the special AT lottery. By doing so, the probability that a plurality of sets of AT games can be executed after the transition to the pseudo BIG mode after the end of the special mode is increased, so that it is possible to further prevent a decrease in game motivation in the special mode.

  In the above embodiment, when the normal AT lottery is won in the special mode, the execution of any one of the BIG-AT immediate release, the BIG-AT stock, and the REG-AT immediate release is determined, and the special mode is determined. When the AT lottery is won, the execution of either the BIG-AT immediate release or the BIG-AT stock is determined, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, whether the normal AT lottery or the special AT lottery is won in the special mode, the execution of either the BIG-AT stock or the REG-AT immediate release may be determined. In this case, the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is not determined by winning the AT lottery in the special mode, but if the mode is shifted to the normal mode after the end of the special mode, the right to shift to the pseudo BIG mode is stocked. In this state, the expectation for the AT game in the pseudo BIG mode in the normal mode can be further increased. Therefore, it is possible to improve the willingness to play in the normal mode.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mode is shifted from the special mode to the normal mode. If the game is executed 800 times without winning the AT lottery in the normal mode, the AT right stocked in the special mode is held. In this case, the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode, but at this time, a predetermined number (for example, 5) of AT rights may be newly given and shifted. In this case, based on the execution of the game 800 times, the AT management unit 111b may add a predetermined number of AT rights to the AT storage area 150b and store it. By doing so, the rescue measures of the player who has played the game up to the ceiling can be increased, so that even in a case where it is difficult to win the AT lottery in the normal mode, it is difficult to reduce the desire to play the game. it can.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the special mode, the addition is performed in units of the AT right. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be. For example, "40" is stored as the number of AT games that can be executed in the AT game number storage area 150a based on the determination of the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release by winning the normal AT lottery in the special mode. On the other hand, “100” is stored as the number of times of the AT game based on the fact that the special AT lottery is won and the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is determined. In this case, the number of times obtained by adding "60" to the initial value of "40", which is the number of AT games, is stored. Even in such a case, the number of games in the AT mode in the special mode can be increased in advance, so that the same effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the AT winning probability in the normal mode is always constant as shown in FIG. 6A regardless of the number of games in the normal mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be changed according to the number of games played. For example, the AT winning probability based on the winning of the cherry is set to 5% when the number of games is from 1 to 400, set to 10% from 401 to 700, and set to 30% from 701 to 750, It may be set to 60% from the 75th to the 800th time. In this way, as the number of games played in the normal mode increases, the player is more likely to win the AT lottery, and the expectation for shifting to the AT mode can be further increased. In this configuration, the probability of immediate release of BIG-AT at the time of winning the AT lottery may be larger than the probability of immediate release of BIG-AT stock and REG-AT. In this way, as the number of games increases, when an AT lottery is won, it becomes easier to immediately shift to the pseudo BIG mode than in the pseudo REG mode, and the expectation for the AT game in the pseudo BIG mode can be further increased. it can.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the number of AT rights granted at the time of winning the AT lottery in the normal mode is always one as shown in FIG. 6A irrespective of the number of games in the normal mode. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be changed according to the number of games played. For example, the number of AT rights to be granted based on the winning of the cherry may be set to one for the number of game times of 1 to 400, two for the number of games of 401 to 700, and three for the number of games of 701 to 800. . In this way, as the number of games played in the normal mode increases, the sense of expectation for re-transition to the pseudo BIG mode can be further increased.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a predetermined number of AT rights are given as shown in FIG. 6F based on the winning of the AT lottery regardless of the number of games in the special mode. However, it is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined number of AT rights may be added to the number of granted AT rights shown in FIG. 6 in accordance with the number of games played in the special mode, and the rights may be granted. In this case, if the number of games in the special mode is less than 1 to less than a first predetermined number (for example, 10), the number of AT rights shown in FIG. If the number is less than the number of times (for example, 30), one AT right is added to the number of AT rights shown in FIG. Two AT rights may be added to the number of rights to be granted. By doing so, as the number of games played in the special mode increases, the expected value for the number of AT rights to be granted increases, and the playability in the special mode can be improved. Conversely, the number of AT rights to be granted may be increased as the number of games in the special mode decreases, and in this case, the expected value for the number of AT rights to be granted decreases as the number of games decreases. And the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pseudo BIG mode can execute the AT game 40 times, and the pseudo REG mode can execute the AT game 20 times. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of games may be determined by lottery based on the winning of the AT lottery. In this case, an AT game number determining means for determining the number of AT games by lottery is provided, and the AT game number determining means sets the number of games in the pseudo BIG mode to “60”, “50”, “40”. And the number of games in the pseudo REG mode is determined by any one of “10”, “20”, and “30”. Based on the AT management means 111b releasing (extracting) one AT right, the AT game number determining means executes the lottery to determine the number of games, and the AT game number managing means 111d determines the determined number of games. The number of times may be stored in the AT game number storage area 150a. By doing so, variations in the game in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode are increased, and the playability in the AT mode can be improved.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the special mode, the execution of the BIG-AT stock is determined based on the granted AT right and the mode is shifted to the normal mode. I can't. For example, the special mode may be ended and the mode may be shifted to the normal mode based on the execution of a predetermined number of games (for example, 30 times) without winning the AT lottery in the special mode. By doing so, the number of stocked AT rights at the time of transition to the normal mode varies depending on whether or not to win the AT lottery in the special mode, so that the player is more interested in the AT lottery in the special mode. be able to.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the AT mode includes the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode. However, the AT mode is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. A mode may be configured such that the instruction function is not generated during the interval mode, including the AT mode and the pseudo REG mode. In FIG. 15, since the configuration of the non-AT mode is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, detailed description is omitted.

  In this case, as described above, in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode, the correct hitting order and operation timing of the stop buttons 10 to 12 are notified by the sub monitor 17 or the like at the time of hitting the batting order bell. The correct hitting order and operation timing of the buttons 10 to 12 are not notified by the sub monitor 17 or the like. Therefore, the expected value of the difference number (net increase) between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals in one game in the interval mode is the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals in one game in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode. It becomes lower than the expected value of the difference number from the number. That is, in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode, the player can increase medals, while in the interval mode, the player decreases medals. The interval mode is not limited to the configuration in which the number of medals is reduced as described above, and the number of medals may be slightly increased or the medals may be maintained as they are.

  In the present modification, execution of any of BIG-AT immediate release, BIG-AT stock, REG-AT immediate release, and REG-AT stock is performed at a predetermined probability based on the winning of the AT lottery. Is determined according to For example, when the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is determined based on the winning of the AT lottery in the normal mode of the non-AT mode, the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode of the AT mode, and the pseudo BIG mode is performed 40 times in the pseudo BIG mode. The mode is shifted from the pseudo BIG mode to the interval mode based on the execution of the AT game (FIG. 15A). In this interval mode, eight games are executed without generating the instruction function, and after the completion of the eight games, a transition is made to the next effect mode according to the number and types of stocked AT rights. Specifically, when at least “1” BIG-AT stocks are obtained after the end of the interval mode (hereinafter, referred to as a first case), the mode is shifted from the interval mode to the pseudo BIG mode again (FIG. 15b). When the number of BIG-AT stocks is “0” and the number of REG-AT stocks is “1” or more (hereinafter, referred to as a second case), the mode is shifted from the interval mode to the pseudo REG mode. (FIG. 15c). If the number of stocked AT rights is “0” (hereinafter, referred to as a third case), the mode is shifted from the interval mode to the retraction mode of the non-AT mode (e in FIG. 15).

  Further, for example, when the execution of the REG-AT immediate release is determined based on winning in the AT lottery in the normal mode, the mode is shifted to the pseudo REG mode (not shown), and 20 times in the pseudo REG mode. Based on the execution of the game, the pseudo REG mode is terminated and the mode is always shifted to the interval mode (d in FIG. 15). In this interval mode as well, the effect mode is shifted according to the number and type of stocked AT rights after the end of eight games in the same manner as described above. That is, in the first case, the mode is shifted to the pseudo BIG mode (FIG. 15B), in the second case, the mode is shifted again to the pseudo REG mode (FIG. 15C), and in the third case, Shift to the non-AT mode pullback mode. The number of games in the pseudo BIG mode, the pseudo REG mode, and the interval mode can be appropriately changed.

  As described above, in the slot machine S according to the present modification, the AT mode includes the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode in which the instruction function is activated, and the interval mode in which the instruction function is not activated. In the ball mode, the expected value of the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals is set lower than that in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode, and after the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode are ended. , The mode is always shifted to the interval mode. Therefore, in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode, it is possible to increase the number of medals of the player and then to always switch to the interval mode, thereby enabling the number of medals of the player to be reduced. That is, in the present modified example, the increase amount of medals in the pseudo BIG mode and the pseudo REG mode and the decrease amount of medals in the interval mode can be appropriately adjusted. In other words, in the entire AT mode, the player can adjust the medal increase amount. The number of medals that can be obtained is adjustable.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the mode is shifted to the special mode after the retraction mode ends, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after passing through the interval mode after the end of the retraction mode, the mode may be shifted to the special mode. According to this configuration, the number of medals of the player can be reduced even in the interval mode after the retraction mode, so that the number of medals can be increased in the AT mode, and it is easy to design the AT mode as a more advantageous mode.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration is such that the mode is shifted to the retraction mode after the end of the AT mode, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mode may be shifted to the retraction mode after passing through the interval mode after the end of the AT mode. Also in this case, since the medals of the player can be reduced even in the interval mode after the end of the AT mode, it is easy to design the AT mode to be a more advantageous mode as described above.

  Subsequently, a slot machine according to the second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the normal state, the inside of the RBB, and the RBB operation are provided as the game state, and in any of the game states, the game start operation is performed only by inserting three medals as the specified number, and “Cherry”, The AT lottery is executed based on the winning of one of “watermelon” and “special lip” (hereinafter, referred to as a specific winning area). However, in the second embodiment, the normal state and the RBB1 are set as the gaming state. Inside, RBB2 inside, RBB1 operation and RBB2 operation are provided, and an advantageous section for determining whether or not to shift to an advantageous section based on any one of the “specific winning areas” according to each game state and a specified number. The transfer lottery and the AT lottery may be executed.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, in the normal state, inside the RBB1 and inside the RBB2, three or two sheets can be selected as the specified number, while in the RBB1 operation and the RBB2 operation, the specified number becomes three. Is set to one.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, in the normal state, inside the RBB1 and the inside of the RBB2, when three cards are selected as the specified number, based on any one of the specific winning areas, While the game section control means 109 executes the advantageous section shift lottery, in the normal state, the inside of the RBB1 and the inside of the RBB2, when two cards are selected as the specified number, based on one of the specific winning areas, The game section control means 109 does not execute the advantageous section shift lottery. That is, based on an internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery to determine the success or failure of a specific winning area based on a game start operation, a plurality of reels are rotated based on the game start operation, and based on an operation of a stop button corresponding to each reel. Reel control means for stopping a plurality of reels, prize determination means for determining a prize of a specific role (NML4, NML5, REP2) associated with a specific winning area based on a mode of stopping the plurality of reels, Section control means for determining whether or not to set an advantageous section in which an auxiliary effect can be executed in a non-advantageous section in which an auxiliary effect for assisting a prize cannot be executed, comprising: When the game start operation is performed under the insertion of the number (three) medals, the game start operation is performed under the insertion of another prescribed number (two) medals. Than, so that the frequency of determining the set of advantageous interval is increased, which can be determined whether to set an advantageous interval.

  Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, when three cards are selected as the specified number in the normal state, inside the RBB1 and inside the RBB2, based on one of the specific winning areas, While the AT lottery means 111a executes the AT lottery, if two pieces are selected as the specified number, the AT lottery means 111a does not execute the AT lottery based on any one of the specific winning areas. That is, based on an internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery to determine the success or failure of a specific winning area based on a game start operation, a plurality of reels are rotated based on the game start operation, and based on an operation of a stop button corresponding to each reel. Reel control means for stopping a plurality of reels, prize determination means for determining a prize of a specific role (NML4, NML5, REP2) associated with a specific winning area based on a mode of stopping the plurality of reels, Effect state control means for controlling the transition of the effect state between a plurality of effect states including a special state in which an auxiliary effect for assisting winning is executed, and another effect state (non-AT mode) different from the special state (AT mode) ), A special state transition determining means for deciding whether or not to make a transition to the special state. The frequency of determining the transition to the special state is higher when the game start operation is performed under insertion of the game than when the game start operation is performed under the insertion of another prescribed number (two) of medals. It is possible to determine whether or not to shift to the special state so as to be higher.

  In the following description, a normal state in which a game start operation is performed by selecting three cards as the specified number is referred to as a normal state in which three cards are played, and a normal state in which a game start operation is performed by selecting two cards is performed in two sheets. Say the normal state. Also, the inside of the RBB1 in which the game start operation is performed by selecting three cards as the specified number is referred to as the inside of the RBB1 of three games, and the inside of the RBB1 in which the game start operation is performed by selecting two cards is the inside of the two RBB1 machines. Say Also, the inside of the RBB2 in which the game start operation is performed by selecting three cards as the specified number is referred to as the inside of the RBB2 of three games, and the inside of the RBB2 in which the game start operation is performed by selecting two cards is the inside of the two RBB2 machines. Say

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, in the normal state where three cards are loaded, “RBB1” is set as an object of the internal lottery, and “RBB2” is excluded from the target of the internal lottery (internal lottery table a in FIG. 17). The process moves to the inside of the RBB 1 based on the winning of the RBB 1 (a in FIG. 16). In the three-piece RBB 1 and the two-piece RBB 1, “RBB (RBB 1, RBB 2)” is excluded from the target of the internal lottery (internal lottery tables c and d in FIG. 17), and the RBB 1 wins. While the operation is shifted to the RBB1 operation based on this (b in FIG. 16), the inside of the RBB1 is maintained until the RBB1 wins. In the RBB1 operation, “normal lip”, “special lip”, and “RBB” are excluded from the target of the internal lottery (internal lottery table g in FIG. 17), and the total number of medals paid out in the RBB1 operation exceeds a predetermined number. Then, the state is shifted to the normal state (FIG. 16C). On the other hand, in the normal state in which two cards are played, “RBB2” is set as an object of the internal lottery, while “RBB1” is excluded from the target of the internal lottery (internal lottery table b in FIG. 17), and RBB2 is won. Based on this, it is shifted to the inside of the RBB 2 (d in FIG. 16). In the three-piece RBB2 and the two-piece RBB2, “RBB” is excluded from the target of the internal lottery (internal lottery tables e and f in FIG. 17), and based on the fact that the RBB2 has won, the RBB2 operation is performed. While shifting (e in FIG. 16), the inside of RBB2 is maintained until RBB2 wins. In the RBB1 operation, "normal lip", "special lip", and "RBB" are excluded from the target of the internal lottery (internal lottery table h in FIG. 17), and the total number of tokens paid out in the RBB2 operation exceeds a predetermined number. Then, the state is shifted to the normal state (f in FIG. 16). In the above-described RBB1 operation and RBB2 operation, a configuration may be adopted in which “non-winning” is not a target of the internal lottery.

  Here, in the internal lottery table a, the winning probability of “RBB1” is set to a low probability (for example, 1/200), and in the internal lottery table b, the winning probability of “RBB2” is set to a high probability (for example, 1/5). ) Is set to For this reason, in the normal state, it is faster to select the two cards and wait for the "RBB2" winning than to select three cards as the specified number and wait for the "RBB1" winning in the RBB2 earlier. it can.

  In the second embodiment, when the player sits in front of the slot machine and starts a game, the effect mode generally stays in the normal mode (see FIG. 5), and the game state stays inside the RBB2. doing. Within the RBB 2 in the normal mode, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery are executed based on the winning in the specific winning area only when the game start operation is performed with three cards selected as the specified number. For this reason, in the normal mode, a game in which a game start operation is performed with three cards (hereinafter, referred to as a three-card game) is executed.

  In the normal mode, when a specific winning area is won in a three-sheet game, the gaming section is maintained in the advantageous section regardless of whether or not the winning in the advantageous section shift lottery is performed. Based on the grant, the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is determined to shift to the pseudo BIG mode, or the execution of the REG-AT immediate release is determined to shift to the pseudo REG mode (FIG. 5). , 6). At this time, the gaming state is maintained inside RBB2.

  Even within the RBB 2 in the AT mode (pseudo BIG mode and pseudo REG mode), only when a predetermined number of three cards are selected and the game start operation is performed, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT are performed based on the winning in the specific winning area. In order to execute a lottery, a three-slot game is executed in the AT mode as in the normal mode.

  In the pseudo BIG mode, when a specific winning area is won by a three-piece game, regardless of whether or not the winning of the advantageous section shift lottery is possible, the gaming section is maintained in the advantageous section, and at this time, if the AT lottery is won, Based on the grant of the AT right, the execution of the BIG-AT stock is determined and the pseudo BIG mode is maintained, and when the pseudo BIG mode ends, whether the AT right is stocked in the AT storage area 150b is determined. Then, if the AT right is “0”, the mode is shifted to the pseudo REG mode (see FIGS. 5 and 6). At this time, the gaming state is maintained inside RBB2.

  In the pseudo REG mode, when a specific winning area is won in a three-sheet game, regardless of whether or not the winning of the advantageous section shift lottery is possible, the gaming section is maintained in the advantageous section, and at this time, if the AT lottery is won, Based on the AT right being granted, the execution of the BIG-AT stock is determined and the pseudo REG mode is maintained. Then, based on the execution of the AT game 20 times in the pseudo REG mode, the mode is shifted to the first retraction mode (see FIGS. 5 and 6). At this time, the gaming state is maintained inside RBB2.

  Even within the RBB 2 in the pull-back mode (the first pull-back mode and the second pull-back mode), the advantageous section shift lottery based on the winning in the specific winning area is performed only when the game start operation is performed by selecting three cards as the specified number. In addition, in order to execute the AT lottery, a three-slot game is executed in the pullback mode as in the normal mode and the AT mode.

  In the first pull-back mode, if a specific winning area is won by a three-piece game, the gaming section is maintained in the advantageous section regardless of the possibility of winning in the advantageous section shift lottery, and at this time, if the AT lottery is won. , Based on the grant of the AT right, the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is determined to shift to the pseudo BIG mode, or the execution of the REG-AT immediate release is determined to shift to the pseudo REG mode ( 5 and 6). In the first pullback mode, the game is shifted to the second pullback mode based on the execution of 32 games without winning the AT lottery. At this time, the gaming state is maintained inside RBB2.

  In the second pull-back mode, when a specific winning area is won by a three-piece game, the gaming section is maintained in the advantageous section regardless of the possibility of winning in the advantageous section shift lottery, and at this time, if the AT lottery is won. Whether the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release is determined and the transition to the pseudo BIG mode is performed based on the grant of the AT right, or the execution of the REG-AT immediate release is determined and the transition to the pseudo REG mode is performed; Alternatively, the execution of the BIG-AT stock is determined and the second retraction mode is maintained (see FIGS. 5 and 6). In the second pullback mode, the game is shifted to the special mode based on the execution of the game 64 times without winning the AT lottery. At this time, the gaming state is maintained inside the RBB 2, but the gaming section is shifted from the advantageous section to the non-advantaged section.

  Even within the special mode RBB2, the advantageous mode shift lottery and the AT lottery are executed based on the winning in the specific winning area only when three pieces are selected and the game start operation is performed. As in the pull-back mode, the three-sheet game is executed in the special mode.

  In the special mode, when a specific winning area is won in a three-piece game, different processing is executed depending on whether or not the winning in the advantageous section shift lottery and the success of the AT lottery are performed. Specifically, when the player wins the advantage section shift lottery and wins the AT lottery, the game section is shifted from the non-advantage section to the advantage section, and the BIG- The execution of the AT stock is determined to shift to the normal mode, or the execution of the BIG-AT immediate release or the REG-AT immediate release is determined to shift to the AT mode. If the player wins the advantage section shift lottery and does not win the AT lottery, the game section is shifted from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section, and the normal mode is set without deciding to execute the processing related to the AT right. Migrate. In addition, when the winning in the advantageous section shift lottery is not won, the game section is maintained in the non-favorable section and the effect mode is maintained in the special mode without winning the AT lottery.

  In the above description, an example in which the game is advanced inside the RBB 2 has been described. However, the game may be advanced inside the RBB 1 in the same manner as described above. In this case, even within the RBB 1 in each effect mode, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery are executed based on the winning in the specific winning area only when the game start operation is performed by selecting three as the specified number. In each effect mode, a three-slot game is executed.

  Further, in the above-described AT mode, when the RBB is awarded and shifted to the RBB operation (RBB1 operation, RBB2 operation) due to an erroneous operation of the stop button or the like inside the RBB, the AT mode is temporarily interrupted. During the period from the RBB operation to the return to the inside of the RBB through the normal state, a transition is made to a standby mode (not shown). In this standby mode, the correct batting order is not notified when the "batting bell" is won. Then, upon returning to the inside of the RBB based on the winning of the RBB in the normal state, the standby mode is terminated and the mode is returned to the AT mode.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, in the normal state, the inside of the RBB 1 and the inside of the RBB 2 can be selected from two or three as the prescribed number, and the game start operation is performed by selecting three. , The advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery can be executed, while the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery are not executed based on the fact that two cards have been selected and the game start operation has been performed. Therefore, in each effect mode, it is possible to urge the player to select three cards and perform a game start operation.

  Even if the game start operation is performed by selecting any of two or three as the prescribed number, if it is configured to execute the advantageous section shift lottery or the AT lottery, one game Since the number of medals to be inserted is three more than two, the player proceeds with the game by hanging two. Then, in the normal state, the inside of the RBB1 and the inside of the RBB2, the significance of executing the three-slot game is lost. In this regard, in the second embodiment, only in the case of playing a game with three cards, the processing of the advantageous section shift lottery and the processing of shifting to the advantageous section (hereinafter, referred to as the processing relating to the advantageous section), and the AT lottery are performed. And the processing relating to the operation of the instruction function (hereinafter referred to as processing relating to the instruction function) can be executed, and when playing a game with two cards, the processing relating to the advantageous section and the processing relating to the instruction function are executed. It is impossible. That is, the processing relating to the instruction function and the processing relating to the advantageous section can be executed according to which of the three or two medals is inserted when the game start operation is performed. As a result, the player can be encouraged to play the game with three cards, and the value of the game with three cards can be increased.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the internal lottery table a is referred to in the normal state of two-piece play, and the internal lottery table b is referred to in the normal state of three-piece play. Thereby, it is possible to select which of the inside of the RBB1 and the inside of the RBB2 the game state is shifted to, and it is possible to widen the range of selection relating to the game.

  In addition, in each of the effect modes inside the RBB1 and the RBB2, only the game start operation of the three-piece game is executed in the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery based on the winning in the specific winning area. In order to secure the opportunity to execute the game, the game performance can be enhanced without the trouble of changing the specified number according to the transition of the effect mode.

  By the way, as described above, inside the RBB (inside RBB1, inside RBB2), processing relating to the advantageous section is performed in accordance with the result of the game, and the instruction function can be operated in the advantageous section corresponding to the AT mode. In other game states, the instruction function is not operated. For this reason, in order to make the inside of the RBB a general state of staying in general and to make most of the games proceed in these game states, when shipping the gaming machine to a market (game room or the like), When installing a gaming machine or before starting a business at a game arcade, it is necessary to set the gaming state to a state in which the gaming state has been stayed inside the RBB in advance. Then, if the winning probabilities of RBB1 and RBB2 are both designed to be low (for example, about 1/150), it is difficult to win the RBB (RBB1, RBB2) in the normal state which is the initial state. The time required for shifting to the inside increases, and the burden on the person who ships the gaming machine and the manager of the game arcade increases. Therefore, when the winning probability (for example, about 1/5) of RBB2 is higher than the winning probability of RBB1 (for example, about 1/150) as in the present modified example, the game starts with two sheets in the normal state. By performing the operation, it is possible to promptly shift the inside of the RBB 2, so that the burden on the person who ships the gaming machine and the manager of the game arcade can be reduced.

  In this modification, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery can be executed only in the case of the game of three cards, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in both the three-sheet game and the two-sheet game, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery can be executed. However, the winning probability of the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery is two pieces. The configuration may be such that the game start operation of three cards is set higher than the game start operation of. As an example, in a three-card game, the winning probability of the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery is 5%, and in a two-card game, the winning probability of the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery is 0.1%. Is also good. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the value of a game with three cards and encourage the player to play a game with three cards.

  Further, in the present modified example, in the three-sheet normal state, the inside of the three-sheet RBB1 and the inside of the three-sheet RBB2, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery are executed based on the winning in only the specific winning area. It was configured, but is not limited to this. For example, the advantageous section shift lottery and the AT lottery may be executed based not only on the specific winning area, but also on the winning of “non-winning”, “batting order bell”, “common bell”, and “normal lip”. In this case, the winning probability of the advantageous section shift lottery based on the winning of “unwinning”, “batting order bell”, “common bell”, and “normal lip” and the winning probability of the AT lottery, What is necessary is just to set it lower than the winning probability of AT lottery. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as described above can be obtained, and the number of winning areas that can be a trigger for shifting to the advantageous section and a trigger for shifting to the AT mode can be increased. Since it is easy to shift to the mode, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which the desire to play is hardly reduced.
