The RB4 established state during RBB operation is a gaming state (shift combination established state) that shifts when the winning area "RB4" is won in the internal lottery in the general state during RBB operation and the RB4 is set to the established state. The shift combination is not operating and the combination is not operating. When the RB4 is established during the RBB operation, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of the replay is set to 1 / 2.9.

In the present embodiment, the RB establishment state during RBB operation is configured to surely win a small medal or a replay by an internal lottery, and the replay is paid out in the same number as the specified number of inputs (3). When treating as (3 cards inserted), the ratio of the total number of medals inserted in the specified number of games to the total number of medals inserted is the winning area "RBB" where the medals are not paid out even if a prize is won at the time of winning. Total payout for the total number of medals inserted in the specified number of games in the non-RT state included in the target of the internal lottery and the bonus establishment state that may result in loss (unwinning) as a result of the internal lottery. It is set to a value higher than the ratio of numbers.

The non-RT state in which the RBB is not operating and the bonus establishment state constitute the first state in the present embodiment, and among the states in which the RBB is operating, the RB establishment state during the RBB operation is the first state in the present embodiment. It constitutes two states. Further, the game state transition control means 170 that controls the non-RT state, the bonus establishment state, and the RB establishment state during RBB operation constitutes the state control means in the present embodiment.

The RB1 operating state is a gaming state (shift combination operating state) that is shifted when the RB1 wins and the RB1 operates. In the RB1 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 has a case where the number of times the small winning combination has won a predetermined number of winnings (for example, 8 times) and the number of games executed since the RB1 is activated. When the predetermined number of games (for example, 12 games) is reached, the operating RB1 is terminated, and the game state is changed from the RB1 operating state to the RB1 operating general state. In the RB1 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table E.

The RB2 operating state is a gaming state (shift combination operating state) that is shifted when the RB2 wins and the RB2 operates. In the RB2 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 has a case where the number of times the small winning combination has won a predetermined number of winnings (for example, 8 times) and the number of games executed since the RB2 is activated. When the predetermined number of games (for example, 12 games) is reached, the operating RB2 is terminated, and the game state is changed from the RB2 operating state to the RB2 operating general state. In the RB2 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table E.

The RB3 operating state is a gaming state (shift combination operating state) that is shifted when the RB3 wins and the RB3 operates. In the RB3 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 has a case where the number of times the small winning combination has won a predetermined number of winnings (for example, 8 times) and the number of games executed since the RB3 is activated. When the predetermined number of games (for example, 12 games) is reached, the operating RB3 is terminated, and the game state is changed from the RB3 operating state to the RB3 operating general state. In the RB3 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table E.

The RB4 operating state is a gaming state (shift combination operating state) that is shifted when the RB4 wins and the RB4 operates. In the RB4 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 has a case where the number of times the small winning combination has won a predetermined number of winnings (for example, 8 times) and the number of games executed since the RB4 is activated. When the predetermined number of games (for example, 12 games) is reached, the operating RB4 is terminated, and the game state is changed from the RB4 operating state to the RB4 operating general state. In the RB4 operating state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table E.

The RB operating state will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC1" and the winning area "JAC2" in the RB operating state in which the internal lottery table E is selected is one of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D. The probability of winning the winning area "Batting order bell group A" to the winning area "Batting order bell group D" in the state when RB is not activated, that is, winning any small winning combination in a gaming state other than the RB operating state. It is set to a higher probability than the probability. In the internal lottery table E, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC1" is determined by the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, the winning area "batting order bell 1A" to the winning area "batting order bell 6A", and the winning area "batting order bell 6A". Rather than the probability of winning each of "1B" -winning area "batting order bell 6B", winning area "batting order bell 1C" -winning area "batting order bell 6C", winning area "batting order bell 1D" -winning area "batting order bell 6D" It is set to a high probability.

With such a configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a non-RT state in which the bonus is not activated and a bonus established state in the RB operating state in which any of RB1 to RB4 is operating. , The probability of winning all the small wins is higher than the general state during RBB operation and the state where RB is established while RBB is operating, and the probability of winning any of the small wins. Is also configured to rise.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability that the winning mode including the bells A to F in which the payout is set to be larger than the specified number of inputs is set in the RB operating state is the probability that the winning mode can be obtained in the gaming state other than the RB operating state. It is lower than the probability of winning a winning mode that includes at least one of the bell Fs. That is, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning in the winning area "JAC1" is the probability of winning in any of the winning area "batting order bell 1A" to the winning area "batting order bell 6A" (in the winning area "batting order bell group A"). Winning probability which is the sum of each winning probability), Probability of winning in any of the winning area "Batting order bell 1B" to winning area "Batting order bell 6B" (Winning probability which is the sum of each winning probability of the winning area "Batting order bell group B" ), The probability of winning in any of the winning area "Batting order bell 1C" to the winning area "Batting order bell 6C" (the winning probability of the winning area "Batting order bell group C" combined) and the winning area "Batting order bell 1D" -The probability of winning in any of the winning areas "Batting Order Bell 6D" (the winning probability of the sum of the winning probabilities of the winning area "Batting Order Bell Group D") and the winning area "Batting Order Bell Group A" ~ It is configured to be lower than the probability of winning in any of the winning areas "Batting order bell group D" (the winning probability of the winning areas "Batting order bell group A" to the winning area "Batting order bell group D" combined). Has been done.

As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a plurality of types of first small batting orders (bells A to F) set to a batting order larger than the number of input of the game value required at the start of the game. Multiple types of first winning modes (winning area "batting order bell 1A" ~ winning area "batting order bell 6A", winning area "batting order bell 1B" ~ winning area "batting order bell 1A" 6B ”, winning area“ batting order bell 1C ”-winning area“ batting order bell 6C ”, winning area“ batting order bell 1D ”-winning area“ batting order bell 6D ”) It has a second winning mode (winning area "JAC1"), and the internal lottery means 120 is inside so that there are a plurality of types of first winning modes in the normal gaming state (non-RT state) and the bonus establishment state. In addition to the lottery, the internal lottery is configured so that the second winning mode exists in the bonus state (RB operating state). Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the second winning mode in the internal lottery in the bonus state is higher than the probability of winning in any of a plurality of types of the first winning modes in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state and the bonus established state. It is low, and the winning probability of each small winning combination in the internal lottery in the bonus state is configured to be equal to or higher than the winning probability of each small winning combination in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state and the bonus established state.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate is less than 100% in the RB operating state.

Here, in a gaming state other than the RB operating state, when the winning area "batting order bell group A" to the winning area "batting order bell group D" are won, the bells must be pressed in the correct batting order to press the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3. Since the configuration is such that A to Bell F cannot be won, the probability that any of Bell A to Bell F will be won is limited to the case where the stop buttons B1 to B3 can be pressed in the correct batting order. .. On the other hand, when the AT game in which the winning assistance control is executed by the instruction function control means 200B described later is executed, the correct batting order is obtained when the winning area "batting order bell group A" to the winning area "batting order bell group D" are won. Is notified, so that the probability that any of the bells A to F will win can be increased as compared with the case where the winning assistance control is not executed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, six types of bells A to F are set as prize-winning roles (specific roles) for paying out more medals than the specified number of medals to be won when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order. ing. Then, the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the RB operating state is compressed, and the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the gaming state other than the RB operating state is compressed. As a result, it is possible to design the medal acquisition performance related to AT games after lowering the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the state where the RB is operating in the bonus state to less than 100%. The degree of freedom in designing the slot machine 1 provided with the above can be dramatically improved.

<Direction control means>
In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 notifies the content notified by the winning assistance control when the instruction function control means 200B executes the winning assistance control (for example, the notification of the correct batting order when the winning area "batting order bell 1A" is won. Etc.) is notified by the effect using the effect device 300, and the winning auxiliary effect is executed. In the AT state, the effect control means 180 has a winning area "batting order bell 1A" to a winning area "batting order bell 6A", a winning area "batting order bell 1B" to a winning area "batting order bell 6B", and a winning area "batting order bell 1C" to winning. If you win the area "Batting Order Bell 6C", the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1D" to the winning area "Batting Order Bell 6D", and you can win Bell A to Bell F when the correct batting order is pressed, the correct batting order Execute a winning auxiliary production to notify.

<Advantageous section control means and instruction function control means>
FIG. 7 is a state transition diagram showing details of the period controlled by the advantageous section control means 200A and the instruction function state controlled by the instruction function control means 200B of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, the non-advantageous section is a period during which the control related to the instruction function by the instruction function control means 200B based on the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 is not executed. The advantageous section control means 200A ends the non-advantageous section and is advantageous based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 and the game state when the game is started in the game in the non-advantageous section. Execute an advantageous section lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether or not to start a section.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the winning area to be won by the internal lottery and whether or not the advantageous section lottery is executed. As shown in FIG. 8, when the gaming state is the non-RT state, the advantageous section control means 200A has the winning area “batting order bell group A” to the winning area “batting order bell group D” and the winning area “rare replay” in the internal lottery. When the winning area "Rare Replay 3" and the winning area "Normal Replay 1" are won, a lottery for advantageous sections is executed, and the winning area "Normal Replay 2", the winning area "Normal Replay 3", and the winning area "RBB" are executed. At the time of winning, the advantageous section lottery is not executed.

Further, in the advantageous section control means 200A, when the game state is the bonus established state, the winning area "batting order bell group A" to the winning area "batting order bell group D" and the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area are selected by internal lottery. When the winning area "Rare Replay 3" and the winning area "Normal Replay 1" are won, the advantageous section lottery is executed, and when the winning area "Normal Replay 2" and the winning area "Normal Replay 3" are won, and the loss (unwinning) In the case where it becomes, it is configured not to execute the advantageous section lottery.

Then, when the RBB is operated and the gaming state is in the bonus state, the advantageous section control means 200A is selected by an internal lottery in any of the gaming states of the general state during RBB operation, the RB establishment state during RBB operation, and the RB operating state. Even if the winning area is won or lost (unwinned), the advantageous section lottery is not executed.

In the advantageous section lottery, the advantageous section control means 200A first, from the advantageous section control data storage means 198 that stores the data related to the advantageous section among the storage means 190, "for each of the plurality of random numbers Acquire the advantageous section transition lottery table, which is a data table associated with "start" and "loss (unwinning)". Then, the advantageous section control means 200A acquires a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous section transition lottery table, and determines whether or not to start the advantageous section based on the comparison result. The advantageous section control data storage means 198 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state by a predetermined control process executed by the advantageous section control means 200A in the advantageous section. The advantageous section control means 200A has a probability of multiplying the winning probability of the winning area won in the internal lottery by the winning probability of "start of the advantageous section" in the advantageous section lottery so as to be 1/17500 or more. Execute the advantageous section lottery.

In the advantageous section, the instruction function control means 200B has a non-AT state, a chance zone (CZ) state, and an AT state as states related to the instruction function (instruction function state). The instruction function control means 200B refers to various lottery tables stored in the instruction function control data storage means 199, and executes a process related to the lottery according to each instruction function state.

The non-AT state is set when the advantageous section is started by the advantageous section control means 200A and has not shifted to another instruction function state, and the instruction function corresponding to the normal state among a plurality of types of instruction function states is set. The state (normal instruction function state). In the non-AT state, the instruction function control means 200B has an instruction function when the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" are won by an internal lottery and the winning replays B and D are won. Execute a CZ lottery to determine whether or not to shift the state to the CZ state. In addition, the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" in the internal lottery, and when the winning replay B and replay D do not win, the CZ lottery is performed. It is configured not to run.

Further, in the non-AT state, the instruction function control means 200B shifts the instruction function state to the AT state when the winning area "normal replay 2" is won by the internal lottery and the winning replay C can be won. Perform a normal AT lottery to determine whether or not. The instruction function control means 200B executes a winning auxiliary control for notifying the batting order that enables the replay C to be won when the "transition to the AT state" is won in the normal AT lottery.

The instruction function control means 200B is a CZ lottery so that the probability of multiplying the winning probability of the winning area won by the internal lottery and the winning probability of "transition to the CZ state" in the CZ lottery is 1/17500 or more. To execute. Further, the instruction function control means 200B has a probability of 1/17500 or more obtained by multiplying the winning probability of the winning area won by the internal lottery and the winning probability of "transition to the AT state" in the normal AT lottery. As a normal AT lottery is executed.

Further, the instruction function control means 200B receives 2000 medals when the game of 1200 games is executed after starting the advantageous section and after consuming the most medals after starting the advantageous section in the non-AT state. When the player acquires it, the instruction function state is changed from the non-AT state to the CZ state.

The CZ state is an instruction function state that can be shifted from the non-AT state. In the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B sets a value (for example, 10 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the CZ end determination counter (not shown) of the instruction function control data storage means 199 at the start of the CZ state. , Each time the game is executed, the decrement update is executed by subtracting the stored value of the CZ end determination counter by the value "1" corresponding to one game. The instruction function control means 200B is configured to execute an AT lottery for determining whether or not to determine the execution of each game AT state until the game of 10 games is executed in the CZ state, and the winning is achieved. Only when the area "normal replay 2" is won and the winning replay C can be won, the state is easier to shift to the AT state than the non-AT state in which the normal AT lottery is executed.

In the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" in the internal lottery, and either the winning replay B or the winning replay D wins. There is a higher probability of winning the "transition to AT state" than the AT lottery that is executed when the winning area "normal replay 2" is won and replay C can be won, and when the other winning areas are won. Execute a special AT lottery. In addition, when the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" in the internal lottery, and either of the winning replay B or replay D does not win, It is configured to execute an AT lottery instead of a special AT lottery when the replay C cannot be won at the time of winning the winning area "normal replay 2".

If the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery or the special AT lottery by the time the game of 10 games is executed in the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B executes the game of 10 games from the start of the CZ state. After that, the instruction function state is changed from the CZ state to the AT state. On the other hand, if the "transition to the AT state" is not won in the AT lottery or the special AT lottery by the time the game of 10 games is executed in the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B will perform 10 games from the start of the CZ state. After the game of is executed, the instruction function state is changed from the CZ state to the non-AT state. The instruction function control means 200B is configured to shift the instruction function state from the CZ state to the AT state in the game in which the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery in the CZ state or the special AT lottery. May be good. Further, in the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B plays 2010 medals when the game of 1210 games is executed after starting the advantageous section and after consuming the most medals after starting the advantageous section. The instruction function state is changed from the CZ state to the AT state when the person acquires it.

The AT state is an instruction function state that shifts when the transition condition to the AT state is satisfied in the non-AT state or the CZ state. In the AT state, the instruction function control means 200B can execute the winning assistance control based on winning the winning area in which the winning combination changes depending on the batting order of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. It is configured. Here, the winning combination (specific role) whose winning probability is increased by the winning auxiliary control is the winning area "batting order bell 1A" to the winning area "batting order bell 6A", the winning area "batting order bell 1B" to the winning area "batting order bell 6B". , Winning area "Batting order bell 1C" -Winning area "Batting order bell 6C", Winning area "Batting order bell 1D" -Winning area "Batting order bell 6D" Bells A to F at the time of winning.

The instruction function control means 200B sets an initial value corresponding to the number of games that can be executed in the AT state to the AT state game count counter, which is a counter that counts the number of games executed in the AT state when the AT state is started. It is set, and every time one game is executed, the decrement update is executed by subtracting the stored value of the AT state game count counter with the value "1" corresponding to one game. In the present embodiment, the instruction function control means 200B sets the value "50" as the initial value in the AT state game count counter when the advantageous section is started in the state where the game state is the non-RT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the instruction function control means 200B has won the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, and the winning replays B and replay D. When either one wins, or when the winning area "normal replay 2" is won and replay C can be won, the storage value of the AT state game count counter is determined by lottery as control related to the instruction function. By deciding whether or not to add the value, an additional lottery for determining whether or not to add (add) the period during which the AT state continues is executed. In addition, when the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" in the internal lottery, and either of the winning replay B or replay D does not win, It is configured so that the additional lottery is not executed in the case where the replay C cannot be won at the time of winning the winning area "normal replay 2".

When the stored value of the AT state game count counter becomes a value "0" in the AT state, that is, when the AT state ends, the advantageous section control means 200A determines that the normal end condition is satisfied, and determines the advantageous section. It ends and controls the non-advantageous section, and also executes the end process. By executing the end processing, in the slot machine 1, the data updated during the advantageous section included in the advantageous section control data storage means 198 (for example, the stored value of the advantageous section game number counter) and the instruction function control data The data updated during the advantageous section included in the storage means 199 (for example, the stored value of the AT state game count counter) and the data are initialized.

3. 3. Details at the time of winning the replay Fig. 9 shows the winning areas "Rare Replay 1" to "Rare Replay 3" and the winning area "Normal Replay 1" to "Normal Replay 3". It is a figure which shows the relationship between the replay which becomes, and the game state.

First, the relationship between the replays that can be won and the game state at the time of winning the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, when the reel control means 130 wins the winning area "rare replay 1" and the winning area "rare replay 2" in the internal lottery in the non-RT state or the non-bonus state in which the bonus is established, the reel control means 130 stops control. The stop control table corresponding to the winning area is acquired from the first stop control table storage means 194a in which the stop control table used in the non-bonus state is stored among the table storage means 194, and the stop buttons B1 to stop are stopped. The reel stop control in which the replay B wins is executed regardless of the batting order and the stop timing of the button B3.

Further, when the reel control means 130 wins the winning area "rare replay 3" by the internal lottery in the non-RT state or the non-bonus state in which the bonus is established, the winning area "rare replay 3" is selected from the first stop control table storage means 194a. The stop control table corresponding to "" is acquired, and the reel stop control in which the replay D wins a prize is executed regardless of the batting order and the stop timing of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3.

On the other hand, when the reel control means 130 wins the winning area "rare replay 1" and the winning area "rare replay 2" in the internal lottery in the bonus state in which the RB is established while the RBB is operating, the reel control means 130 is a bonus among the stop control table storage means 194. The stop control table corresponding to the winning area is acquired from the second stop control table storage means 194b in which the stop control table used in the state is stored, and the batting order and stop timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 are set. Regardless, the reel stop control in which Replay A wins is executed.

Further, when the reel control means 130 wins the winning area "rare replay 3" in the internal lottery in the bonus state in which the RB is established while the RBB is operating, the second stop control table storage means 194b is changed to the winning area "rare replay 3". The corresponding stop control table is acquired, and the reel stop control in which the replay A wins is executed regardless of the batting order and the stop timing of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3.

Next, the relationship between the replays that can be won and the game state at the time of winning the winning area "normal replay 1" to the winning area "normal replay 3" will be described. When the reel control means 130 wins the winning area "normal replay 1", the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 regardless of whether the game state is a non-RT state, a bonus established state, or an RBB operating RB established state. The reel stop control in which the replay A wins is executed regardless of the batting order and the stop timing of.

4. Summary of the present embodiment As described above, the advantageous section control means 200A of the present embodiment does not execute the advantageous section lottery when the gaming state is the general state during RBB operation, the RB establishment state during RBB operation, and the RB operation state. It is configured as follows. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the RBB operates during the non-advantageous section, the slot machine 1 does not shift from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section until the operated RBB ends.

Further, as described above, the instruction function control means 200B of the present embodiment changes from the non-AT state to the CZ state and the AT state as an advantageous privilege for the player at the time of winning the replay B to the replay D during the advantageous period. It is decided whether or not to add the lottery related to the transition (CZ lottery, normal AT lottery), the lottery related to the transition from the CZ state to the AT state (AT lottery, special AT lottery), and the period during which the AT state continues. It is configured to execute an additional lottery, and is configured to be able to give a privilege advantageous to the player regardless of the instruction function state controlled by the instruction function control means 200B. The instruction function control means 200B is configured not to execute the process related to the instruction function during the non-advantageous period.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, if Replay B to Replay D win a prize during the non-advantageous section, the process related to the granting of the privilege that was executed during the advantageous period is not executed, so that Replay B to Replay B to There is a risk of giving great dissatisfaction to the player who won the replay D.

On the other hand, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, among the gaming states in which the RBB is operating, the winning area including the replay B to the replay D (winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area " When the reel play 3 ”and the winning area“ normal replay 2 ”) are won, the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is changed from the stop control table acquired in the non-bonus state to the stop control table acquired in the bonus state. By switching, the replay A is configured to win a prize regardless of the batting order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the RBB is operated during the non-advantageous section, the replay B to the replay D do not win, so that the player may be dissatisfied due to the winning of the replay B to the replay D. It can be prevented, and it is possible to prevent dissatisfaction with the player.

Replay B to Replay D, to which the instruction function control means 200B can give a privilege when a prize is won, constitutes the first role in the present embodiment, and Replay A which is elected in duplicate with Replay B to Replay D. , The second combination in this embodiment is formed, and at least one of Replay B to Replay D and Replay A are duplicated and won, and are the targets of the lottery in the internal lottery in the non-RT state, the bonus established state, and the RB established state during RBB operation. The winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" set in the above constitutes the specific winning mode in the present embodiment.

Further, when the RBB is operating, the slot machine 1 is used when the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3", the winning area "normal replay 2", and the winning area "normal replay 3" are won. In order to switch the stop control table used in the reel stop control of the above to the stop control table in which the replay A is won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the player advances the game in any mode. Even in this case, it is possible to reliably prevent the winning of Replay B to Replay D, and the program capacity is provided by a simple program without executing special control such as winning assistance control to prevent winning of Replay B to Replay D. It is possible to surely prevent the winning of Replay B to Replay D without increasing.

Further, since the instruction function control means 200B of the present embodiment is configured to execute the control related to the granting of the privilege based on the winning of the replay B to the replay D, the RBB that the replay B to the replay D does not win is In the activated state, it is configured not to execute the control related to the granting of the privilege.

As described above, the gaming machine (1) of the present embodiment is
With multiple reels (R1, R2, R3),
An internal lottery means (120) for performing an internal lottery to determine whether or not a plurality of types of winning modes are won, and
A reel control means (130) for controlling the rotation mode and the stop mode of the reel, and
The winning determination means (140) for determining the winning combination based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line (L1) when the plurality of reels are stopped, and
A state control means (170) that controls the state related to the game, and
A privilege control means (200B) for executing control related to a privilege advantageous to the player is provided.
The state related to the game includes a first state and a second state different from the first state.
The plurality of types of winning modes include a specific winning mode in which the first winning combination and the second winning combination are duplicated.
The privilege control means can grant the privilege when the first combination wins a prize.
The internal lottery means includes the specific winning mode in the lottery target in the internal lottery in the first state and the internal lottery in the second state.
The reel control means
When the specific winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the first state, the first reel stop control that enables the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first winning combination to be displayed on the effective line is executed.
When the specific winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the second state, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first winning combination is effective regardless of the operation mode of the stop operation detected by the stop switch. The second reel stop control that is not displayed on the line is executed.

With this configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" including the replay B to the replay D, and the winning area "normal replay 2" in the state where the RB is established while the RBB is operating. When Replay B to Replay D do not win, Replay A, which has won multiple prizes, wins. Therefore, in the RB establishment state during RBB operation, the instruction function control means based on the winning of Replay B to Replay D The control related to the grant of the privilege by 200B is not executed. As a result, in the slot machine 1, when the replay B to the replay D are won, the replay B to the replay D are won in the RBB operating RB establishment state in which the control related to the granting of the privilege by the instruction function control means 200B may not be executed. By not doing so, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dissatisfaction that the player may have due to the winning of the replay B to the replay D, and it is possible to prevent the player from being dissatisfied.

Further, in the present embodiment, the privilege control means does not execute the control related to the privilege in the second state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second state is set to a value in which the ratio of the total number of payouts to the total number of game values input in the game of the predetermined number of games is higher than that in the first state.

With this configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is set to a value in which the ratio of the total number of payouts to the total number of game values input in a predetermined number of games is higher than that in the non-RT state and the bonus establishment state. In the operating RB established state, there is a high possibility that the control related to the privilege will be executed at the time of winning. Since the replay B to the replay D do not win, the privilege is given in the operating RB established state and the excessive medal is paid out. Can be prevented from occurring, and the commercial value of the game machine can be improved.

5. Modification Example In the present embodiment, the instruction function control means 200B is configured to execute control related to the granting of benefits based on the winning of Replay B to Replay D, but the present invention is not limited to this. In addition to the winning of Replay B to Replay D, the instruction function control means 200B has other triggers (when a specific winning area is won by an internal lottery, or the number of games executed in each instruction function state is a predetermined number of games). It may be configured so that the control related to the granting of the privilege can be executed based on (such as when the case becomes).

In such a case, the instruction function control means 200B has, for example, the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" in the internal lottery as an opportunity other than the winning of replay B to replay D. , The control related to the granting of benefits may be executed when the winning area "normal replay 2" is won. In addition, the instruction function control means 200B is privileged when the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" are won in the internal lottery in the non-RT state and the bonus establishment state. It may be configured so that the control related to the granting of the above can be executed. In addition, the instruction function control means 200B is a privilege triggered by the winning of the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" in the internal lottery in the state where the RB is established while the RBB is operating. The control related to the grant may be configured to be feasible.

Further, in the present embodiment, the reel control means 130 is selected from the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" by an internal lottery in a state where the game state is a non-RT state or a bonus established state. When winning, the first reel stop control for displaying the winning symbol combination of replay B to replay D on the effective line L1 is executed regardless of the batting order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. However, it is not limited to this. The reel control means 130 is a winning area when the game state is a non-RT state or a bonus established state and the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" is won by an internal lottery. The stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the specific batting order set in each of the winning areas "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" in the same manner as when the "normal replay 2" is won. In this case, the first reel stop control for displaying the winning symbol combination of replay B to replay D on the effective line L1 may be executed.

That is, the game machine (1) is
With multiple reels (R1, R2, R3),
An internal lottery means (120) for performing an internal lottery to determine the winning or failing of a plurality of types of winning modes, and
A reel control means (130) for controlling the rotation mode and the stop mode of the reel, and
The winning determination means (140) for determining the winning combination based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line (L1) when the plurality of reels are stopped, and
A state control means (170) that controls the state related to the game, and
A privilege control means (200B) for executing control related to a privilege advantageous to the player is provided.
The state related to the game includes a first state and a second state different from the first state.
The plurality of types of winning modes include a specific winning mode in which the first winning combination and the second winning combination are duplicated.
The internal lottery means includes the specific winning mode in the lottery target in the internal lottery in the first state and the internal lottery in the second state.
The reel control means
When the specific winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the first state, it is possible to execute the first reel stop control that makes it possible to display the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first winning combination on the effective line.
When the specific winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the second state, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first winning combination is effective regardless of the operation mode of the stop operation detected by the stop switch. Execute the second reel stop control that is not displayed on the line,
The privilege control means
When the specific winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the first state, the privilege can be given.
When the first reel stop control is executed, the privilege is given.
It may be configured as follows.

When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 is privileged by the instruction function control means 200B when the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" are won. In the configuration in which there is a possibility that the award is granted, the instruction function control means 200B executes the control related to the award of the award at the time of winning the replay B to the replay D in the non-RT state and the bonus establishment state. Achievement of playability that suggests the presence or absence by using the winning of Replay B to Replay D, and regarding the RB establishment state during RBB operation, the winning area is in the RB establishment state during RBB operation because Replay B to Replay D do not win a prize. Because it is possible to realize a playability that does not suggest whether or not a privilege is given when the winning area "Rare Replay 1" to the winning area "Rare Replay 3" and the winning area "Normal Replay 2" are given by winning the Replay B to Replay D. , Various playability according to the state can be realized, and the player's interest in the game can be improved.

When the instruction function control means 200B is in the RB established state while the RBB is operating, the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" are won in the internal lottery. It may be configured not to execute the control related to the granting of the above-mentioned privilege. Further, the instruction function control means 200B is triggered by the winning of the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" in the internal lottery when the RB is established while the RBB is operating. Regarding the control related to the granting of the privilege, the control related to the granting of the privilege may be configured to execute the control related to the granting of the privilege. The privilege (first privilege) given by the control related to the grant of the privilege triggered by the winning of the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" in the lottery , It is more advantageous for the player than the privilege (second privilege) given when the RB is established while the RBB is operating (for example, the probability of transition to the AT state is higher in the first privilege than in the second privilege). Or, the number of games in which the AT state is set at the start of the AT state is more than the number of games in the first privilege than in the second privilege).

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section control means 200A is configured not to execute the advantageous section lottery when the gaming state is in the bonus state, but it is also predetermined even when the gaming state is in the bonus state. It may be configured to execute an advantageous section lottery at the time of winning in the winning area. When configured in this way, the advantageous section control means 200A is configured so that the probability of winning the "transition to the advantageous section" in the advantageous section lottery in the bonus state is lower than that in the advantageous section lottery in the non-bonus state. Is preferable.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has a winning area for replays of the winning area "rare replay 1" to the winning area "rare replay 3" and the winning area "normal replay 2" as a specific winning mode. However, it is not limited to this. The slot machine 1 may have a winning area for a small winning combination as a specific winning mode. When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 has a first small winning combination that enables control of the privilege at the time of winning and a second small winning combination that is duplicated with the first small winning combination in the specific winning mode of the small winning combination. And, because the payout at the time of winning is set to the same payout and the number of symbols constituting the winning symbol combination is set to the same number, the priority is not given in the number priority control and the number priority control, so it is stopped. Reel stop control using the control table will be executed, and by switching the stop control table according to the operation of the bonus, the small winning combination of the first small winning combination and the second small winning combination will be changed. You will be able to do it.

Further, in the case of such a configuration, the slot machine 1 does not necessarily have to win the second small winning combination when the first small winning combination is not won, and is different from the winning form of any winning combination (non-winning). ) May be enabled to execute reel stop control for displaying a stop display on the effective line L1.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has a specified number of slots set to 3 and has an RBB as a bonus, but the slot machine 1 is not limited to this. The slot machine 1 has, for example, a first specified number of medals (3) and a second specified number of medals (2) as the specified number of medals, and the medals of the first specified number of medals are set in the inserted state. It may be configured to have an RBB1 that can be won in the case of a winning case and an RBB2 that can be won when the second specified number of medals to be inserted is set in the inserted state.

FIG. 10 is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the control related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170 of the above-described modified example.

First, the transition of the gaming state in the non-bonus state will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the non-RT state is a gaming state (initial gaming state) corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states. In the non-RT state, the game state transition control means 170 sets the RBB1 to the internal lottery means 120 when the game is started with the first specified number of medals (3 medals) set to the inserted state. The internal lottery is executed using the internal lottery table that has been set and the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, and the second specified number of medals (2 medals) is set to the inserted state and the game is played. Is started, the internal lottery means 120 sets the RBB2 as the target of the lottery, and the internal lottery is executed using the internal lottery table in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

Therefore, the game state transition control means 170 is configured to be able to shift from the non-RT state to the RBB1 established state when the game is started with the first specified number of medals (3 medals) set in the inserted state. , When the second specified number of medals (2 medals) is set to the inserted state and the game is started, the non-RT state can be changed to the RBB2 established state.

In the RRB1 established state, the game state transition control means 170 has a case where the first specified number of medals (3 medals) is set to the inserted state and the game is started, and a case where the second specified number of medals (2 medals) is inserted. Is set to the input state and the game is started, or in either case, the internal lottery means 120 is set to always win a small win or a replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/1. The internal lottery is executed using the internal lottery table set in 5. As described above, the reel control means 130 is configured to execute the reel stop control so as to win a small winning combination or replay in preference to the bonus.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, once the RBB1 is established, the player can easily avoid winning the RBB1 and maintain the gaming state, while reducing the operational burden on the player. It is possible to stay in the RBB1 established state where a small role or a replay can be won for a long period of time.

In the RRB2 established state, when the game is started with the first specified number of medals (3 medals) set in the inserted state, the game state transition control means 170 loses (not) as a result of the lottery to the internal lottery means 120. The internal lottery is executed using the internal lottery table, which is set so that it can also be a winning), and the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3. Is set to the input state and the game is started, the internal lottery means 120 is set to always win a small win or a replay, and the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 1.5. The internal lottery is executed using the lottery table. Therefore, in the RBB2 establishment state in which the second specified number of medals are set in the insertion state, the RBB2 is inserted in a predetermined number of games than in the RBB2 establishment state in which the first specified number of medals are set in the insertion state. The game state is set to a value in which the ratio (base) of the total number of medals to be paid out to the total number of medals inserted is large.

Further, the game state transition control means 170 has an RBB2 established state in which the first specified number of medals (3 medals) are set to the inserted state based on the betting operation of medals in the player's operation mode, and the second regulation. It is possible to control the transition between the number of inserted medals (2 medals) and the RBB2 established state in which the inserted state is set.

When the second specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the game is started, the slot machine 1 executes an internal lottery using an internal lottery table that always wins a small winning combination or a replay, and RBB2 and a small winning combination are executed. Alternatively, since the RBB2 and the replay are won in duplicate, the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 avoids the winning of the RBB2, and the RBB2 that can win the small role or the replay for a long period of time is established while reducing the operational burden on the player. It is possible to stay in the state.

On the other hand, when the first specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the game is started, the internal lottery means 120 uses the internal lottery table, which can be lost (unwinned) as a result of the lottery, to perform an internal lottery. Since it is executed, it is possible that the RBB2 can be won independently. Here, the RBB2 is set as an RBB dedicated to the second specified number of inserted numbers (2 cards), and if the first specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the game is started, the winning symbol of the RBB2 is assumed. It is configured to be invalid even when the combination is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, once the RBB2 is established, the player can easily avoid winning the RBB2 and maintain the gaming state, while reducing the operational burden on the player. It is possible to stay in the RBB2 established state for a long period of time. In the slot machine 1, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at any batting order or pressing timing in the RBB2 establishment state in which the first specified number of inputs is set to the input state and started. The reel stop control may be executed so that the winning symbol combination of the RBB2 is not displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130.

The RBB1 operating state that shifts when RBB1 wins and the RBB2 operating state that shifts when RBB2 wins are both when the first specified number of medals (3 medals) are set to the throwing state. It is a game state in which the game is started. The RBB1 operating state and the RBB2 operating state are such that the RB operates continuously regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the regular bonus as the first type special accessory (hereinafter, the regular bonus is also referred to as "RB"). It is configured. The RBB1 operating state ends when the payout of medals exceeding the first payout number is executed. Further, the RBB2 operating state ends when the payout of medals exceeding the second payout number is executed.

In the RBB1 operating state and the RBB2 operating state, by executing an internal lottery using a lottery table substantially similar to the RB operating state of the present embodiment, the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the RB operating state can be set. Since the medal acquisition performance related to the AT game can be designed after reducing the value to less than 100%, the degree of freedom in designing the slot machine 1 having the AT function can be dramatically improved.

In such a case, the RBB2 establishment state in which the game is executed with the first specified input number constitutes the first state, and the RBB2 establishment state in which the game is executed with the second specified input number and the first The RBB1 establishment state in which the game is executed with the specified number of inputs and the RBB1 establishment state in which the game is executed with the second specified number of inputs constitutes the second state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 sets a value as an initial value in the storage value of each counter or storage means, and decrement update by subtracting 1 at each game execution, or 1 at the time of each game execution. It is configured to execute increment update that adds in increments, but it is not limited to this, and the update method of each counter and storage means may be configured to execute multiplication, division, etc., and is not particularly limited. ..
