(Game state control means 250)
The game state control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the game state control means 250 includes each of the normal game state control means 251, the bonus internal medium state control means 252, and the bonus game state control means 253.

(Normal game state control means 251)
The normal game state control means 251 controls the "normal game state" (see FIG. 7). Here, the normal game state refers to a state other than the bonus internal medium state by the bonus internal medium state control means 252 and the bonus game state by the bonus game state control means 253.

(Bonus internal medium state control means 252)
The bonus internal medium state control means 252 controls the “bonus internal medium state” (see FIG. 7). Here, the internal bonus state shifts to the case where the bonus transfer combination is won, but the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination cannot be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.

(Bonus game state control means 253)
The bonus game state control means 253 controls the “bonus game state” (see FIG. 7).
The bonus game state is changed by winning the bonus transfer combination and stopping and displaying the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination on the effective line 86.

Here, the bonus game state ends with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, 36 or more medals.
Then, after the bonus game state ends, the game shifts to the normal game state.

(Advantageous section control means 260)
The advantageous section control means 260 controls the effect state (non-advantageous section and advantageous section) described later with reference to FIG. 8 as the game state. For example, the advantageous section control means 260 uses the notification means 520, which will be described later, to execute an effect of notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50.
Further, as will be described in detail later, the advantageous section control means 260 executes various lottery in each effect state belonging to the advantageous section.

(Transmission means 270)
The transmission means 270 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control means 500.
The transmission means 270 is, for example, transmitted with an input detection signal transmitted with the detection of the input sensor 92, an input operation signal transmitted with the detection by the bet switch 32, and a detection with the start switch 40. The start signal and the stop signal transmitted when the stop switch 50 detects the signal are transmitted to the sub control means 500.

Further, in addition to the signals corresponding to the detection of these switches, the transmitting means 270 can identify the gaming state managed by the main control means 200 (for example, whether it is in a gaming state or a non-gaming state). The game status signal for playing the game is also transmitted at an appropriate timing.

(Sub control means 500)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control means 500 includes each means of the receiving means 510 and the notifying means 520. Details of each means will be described later.
With the above configuration, the sub control means 500 receives a signal from the main control means 200 and performs an effect as the game progresses.

Specifically, the sub-control means 500 outputs data that regulates the lighting and extinguishing of the LED to the LED drive circuit (not shown) for driving the effect lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Video data that specifies the sound to be output to the sound output circuit (not shown) for output, or is output to the liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display unit 84. Outputs data that specifies.

(Receiving means 510)
The receiving means 510 receives the signal from the transmitting means 270.

(Notification means 520)
The notification means 520 is for notifying the player of various information, specifically, the production by using the effect device 70.
The notification means 520 notifies the player of an effect according to the winning combination based on the result of the combination lottery, an effect according to each game state or each effect state, an effect for notifying the push order, and the like. A plurality of these effects are provided, and the notification means 520 notifies the player of the effects selected by lottery and the effects corresponding to the signals (commands) from the main control means 200 using the effect device 70. ..

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 6)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, a general game control process executed by the main control means 200 for each game will be described.
In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the bet number cannot be set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 is not operated, step S10 is performed again.

As a premise of this step S10, the bet number setting process is performed. In this bet number setting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined bet number (3 bets) is set as the bet number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets in the game has reached the predetermined number of bets (3).

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

In step S12, the rotation fluctuation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotary reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotational speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating rotary reel 62 is operated, the reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control means 200, and is also stored. It is read out in the subsequent processing.

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

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

In step S14, the payout giving means 240 performs a payout process or the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. As a result of the determination, if the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process is terminated.

(Explanation of the game state using FIG. 7)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. 7.
The game state is managed by the main control means 200, and as shown in FIG. 7, there are a normal game state, a bonus internal medium state, and a bonus game state.

(Normal game state)
The normal game state is controlled by the normal game state control means 251.

The winning probability for the replay combination in the normal game state is set to normal (1 / 7.3).
If the bonus transfer combination is won by the combination lottery in the normal game state and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is not stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the normal game state shifts to the bonus internal medium state and stops. If it is displayed, it shifts to the bonus game state.

(Medium inside bonus)
The bonus internal medium state is controlled by the bonus internal medium state control means 252, and in the normal game state, when the bonus transfer combination is won and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is not stopped and displayed on the valid line 86. Move to.
The probability of winning the replay role in the bonus internal medium state is set higher than in the normal game state.

(Bonus game state)
The bonus game state is controlled by the bonus game state control means 253, and shifts when the bonus transfer combination is won and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is stopped and displayed on the valid line 86.

The winning probability for the replay combination in the bonus game state is set to "0".
Here, in the present embodiment, the bonus game state ends with the payout of more than 36 medals.
Then, after the end of the bonus game state, the game shifts to the normal game state.

(Explanation of the production state using FIG. 8)
As shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, the push order is not notified when the push order combination, which is a prize when the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order predetermined by the combination lottery, is won. A non-advantageous section and an advantageous section that can shift from the non-advantageous section and can notify the push order are provided.

(Non-advantageous section)
The transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is made when the advantageous section transition combination related to the transition to the advantageous section is won in the combination lottery during the non-advantageous section.

Based on winning the advantageous section transition combination and deciding the transition to the advantageous section, the initial specified number regarding the granting of advantageous benefits for the player, specifically, the AT state (first AT state described later) is determined. An initial specified number determination lottery is performed, and the value won in the lottery is set as the initial specified number. The initial specified number set based on the lottery is "625", "725", or "825".

In addition, based on the decision to shift to the advantageous section, a freeze execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute a predetermined freeze effect, and if the lottery is won, the AT state in the advantageous section (described later). It shifts to the second AT state). Then, if the lottery is won, the freeze effect is executed after the operation of the start switch 40 in the next game.
On the other hand, if the freeze execution lottery is not won, the freeze effect is not executed after the operation of the start switch 40 in the next game, and the game shifts to the initial shortened state in the advantageous section.

The above-mentioned "initial specified number determination lottery" and "freeze execution lottery", which are performed based on the decision to shift to the advantageous section, may be performed in the game in which the advantageous section transition combination is won, or the advantageous section transition. It may be performed after the start switch 40 of the game following the winning game is operated.

(Advantageous section)
The advantageous section is provided with a "first shortened state", a "normal state", a "CZ state", and an "AT state". Details of each state will be described later.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the number of games elapsed after the advantageous section, which is the number of games elapsed after the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, is 1500 games, it is assumed that the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section has been reached. Shift from advantageous section to non-advantageous section. Therefore, the main control means 200 counts the number of advantageous section elapsed games by using the advantageous section counter, which is a counter for counting the number of advantageous section elapsed games, and determines whether or not the number of advantageous section elapsed games has reached 1500 games. doing. The main control means 200 always uses the advantageous section counter to count the number of games in which the advantageous section has elapsed during the stay in the advantageous section, regardless of the state of the advantageous section.

Further, in the present embodiment, a ceiling game number counter, which is a counter different from the advantageous section counter, is provided as a counter for counting the number of advantageous section elapsed games. Then, the main control means 200 counts the number of advantageous section elapsed games using the ceiling game number counter, and determines whether or not the number of advantageous section elapsed games has reached the first specified number or the second specified number described later. ing. The main control means 200 initializes the ceiling game number counter when the state shifts to the first AT state. Further, in the present embodiment, after the end of the first AT state, the advantageous section may continue without shifting to the non-advantageous section. In this case, the main control means 200 is initialized from the normal state after the continuation. Start counting the number of games that have passed the advantageous section using the ceiling game number counter.

Further, in the present embodiment, even before the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted by using the advantageous section counter reaches 1500 games, the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out in the advantageous section are used. When the difference number of sheets, which is the difference between the above, reaches a predetermined number of sheets (example: 2400 sheets), the advantage section shifts to the non-advantageous section. "The difference between the number of medals inserted in the advantageous section and the number of medals paid out" is the difference between the state where the number of medals is the least in the advantageous section and the state where the number of medals is the most in the advantageous section. The required number, the so-called MY. Therefore, the main control means 200 uses the MY counter, which is a counter for counting MY, to count the number of input and the number of payouts after shifting to the advantageous section, and reaches the difference number of the predetermined number (so-called MY2400). It is judged whether or not. The main control means 200 always counts the difference number (MY) by using the MY counter during the stay in the advantageous section regardless of the state of the advantageous section.

In the advantageous section, even before the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted by using the advantageous section counter reaches 1500 games or before reaching MY2400, the end of the bonus game state or the end of the AT state. It is also possible to shift from an advantageous section to a non-advantageous section at any time such as.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the advantageous section ends and shifts to the non-advantageous section, various game information (eg, AT state information, advantageous section counter, ceiling game number counter, MY counter) is initially set. Be transformed.

(First shortened state)
The initial shortened state is a state in which the initial specified number is updated to the first specified number based on the game result of the game in the first shortened state so as to be advantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state. The "game in the first shortened state" is an example of the "first game", and the "first AT state" is an example of the "privilege advantageous for the player".
Further, the "first specified number" is the number of games that have passed the advantageous section until the first AT state is given, and is the so-called number of ceiling games.

In the present embodiment, the initial specified number is subtracted as "the initial specified number is updated to be advantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state". That is, in the present embodiment, since the first AT state is assigned when the value becomes "0", the initial specified number is subtracted so that the trigger for the assignment is quickened.

Here, in the first shortened state, if the freeze execution lottery is not won at the time of transition to the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is performed first after the start of the advantageous section.
In the first shortened state, the number of guaranteed games of 5 games is provided, and the stay in the first shortened state is guaranteed until the number of guaranteed games is exceeded. Then, after the number of guaranteed games has elapsed, a lottery for ending the first shortened state is performed in each game, and if the lottery is won, the first shortened state ends and the lottery is won. If not, the initial shortening state will continue.

In the first shortened state where the number of guaranteed games is one or more, the first subtraction lottery for determining the value to be subtracted from the initial specified number is performed in each game, and the value won in the lottery is subtracted from the current initial specified number. .. That is, the "first subtraction lottery" is a lottery for determining the value to be subtracted from the initial specified number in the initial shortened state. The values to be subtracted based on the lottery are "5", "10", "30", "50" or "100". Further, the first subtraction lottery is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

For example, when the initial specified number set based on the initial specified number determination lottery is "625", the value won in the first subtraction lottery of the game is "25" in the first shortened state where there is a guaranteed number of 5 games. When it is "10", the initial specified number is updated from "625" to "615". Then, in the initial shortened state in which the number of guaranteed games is 4, if the value won in the first subtraction lottery of the game is "30", the initial specified number is updated from "615" to "585". To.

In addition, even in the first shortened state where the number of guaranteed games is 0, if the first subtraction state end lottery is not won, the first subtraction lottery is performed, and the value won in the lottery is from the current initial specified number. It is subtracted. The value to be subtracted in this case is the same as above. Further, the first subtraction lottery in this case is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery. Further, the value subtracted in the first subtraction lottery in this case is not limited to the same as in the case where the number of guaranteed games is one or more, and the subtracted value may be different. For example, by making the expected value of the subtracted value higher than when the number of guaranteed games is one or more, it is possible to enhance the feeling of excitement of the player when the first shortened state end lottery is not won.

In the first shortened state in which the number of guaranteed games is 0, if the first shortened state end lottery is won, the first shortened state is ended and the game shifts to the normal state from the next game.
Then, when the state shifts to the normal state after the end of the initial shortened state, the current initial specified number is replaced with the first specified number. In other words, in this case, the same value as the current initial specified number is set as the first specified number. For example, when the initial specified number at the end of the initial shortened state is "500", the first specified number is set to "500". Although the details will be described later, since the first specified number is displayed on the display unit 84 (see FIGS. 10 and 11), the player can recognize the number of ceiling games.

In addition, when shifting to the normal state after the end of the initial shortened state, a mode for determining the mode set in the game in the normal state of the transition destination (hereinafter referred to as "setting mode") based on the first specified number. A decision lottery will be held. The setting mode determined based on the lottery is one of "mode A", "mode B", or "mode C". The "game in the normal state" is an example of the "second game".

As described above, the game in the normal state is provided with a plurality of modes having different advantages regarding the granting of the first AT state, and the above-mentioned advantages are in the order of "mode A"-> "mode B"-> "mode C". Is high. Specifically, the above-mentioned advantage is the value of the second specified number determined in the second specified number determination lottery described later, and the value is in the order of "mode A"-> "mode B"-> "mode C". It is easier to select a smaller second specified number.

Here, the distribution of the setting modes in the mode determination lottery differs depending on the range of the first specified number. Specifically, when the first specified number is "399 or less", the probability of becoming mode A is "5%", the probability of becoming mode B is "5%", and the probability of becoming mode C is "90%". When the first specified number is "400 or more and 499 or less", the probability of becoming mode A is "10%", the probability of becoming mode B is "20%", and the probability of becoming mode C is "70%". When the first specified number is "500 or more and 599 or less", the probability of becoming mode A is "50%", the probability of becoming mode B is "30%", and the probability of becoming mode C is "20%". When the first specified number is "600 or more and 699 or less", the probability of becoming mode A is "70%", the probability of becoming mode B is "20%", and the probability of becoming mode C is "10%". When the first specified number is "700 or more", the probability of becoming mode A is "90%", the probability of becoming mode B is "5%", and the probability of becoming mode C is "5%". ing. That is, the smaller the value of the first specified number, the easier it is to select a mode having a higher advantage.

Next, based on the setting mode determined in the mode determination lottery, the second regulation number determination lottery for determining the second regulation number, which is a threshold value different from the first regulation number until the first AT state is given, is performed. Will be. The "second specified number" is the number of games that have passed the advantageous section until the first AT state is granted, and is the so-called number of ceiling games.
The second specified number determined based on the second specified number determination lottery is "0", "100", "200", "300", "400", "500", "600", "700", or It is said to be "800".

Here, the distribution of the second specified number in the second specified number determination lottery differs depending on the type of the setting mode. Specifically, when the setting mode is "mode A", it is easier to select a second specified number (example: "700", "800", etc.) having a larger value than in the case of mode B and mode C. It has become. When the setting mode is "mode B", it is easier to select a second specified number (example: "0", "100", etc.) with a smaller value than in the case of mode A, and in the case of mode C. The second specified number (eg, "700", "800", etc.) having a large value is more likely to be selected. When the setting mode is "mode C", it is easier to select a second specified number (eg, "0", "100", etc.) having a smaller value than in the cases of mode A and mode B. That is, the higher the advantage of the setting mode, the easier it is for the second specified number with a smaller value to be selected.

Further, the second specified number is no longer set to a value more disadvantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state than the first specified number. In the present embodiment, if the second specified number is larger than the first specified number, the arrival of the second specified number is slower than the arrival of the first specified number, so that the second specified number is larger than the first specified number. Large values are no longer set. Therefore, when the second specified number determined by the second specified number determination lottery is larger than the first specified number, the first specified number is replaced with the second specified number. In other words, in this case, the same value as the first specified number is set as the second specified number. For example, when the second specified number determined by the second specified number determination lottery is "600" and the first specified number is "500", the second specified number is set to "500".

Here, after setting the second specified number, if the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted using the ceiling game number counter is equal to or greater than the value obtained by subtracting the predetermined value (example: 40) from the second specified number, the transition is made. A precursory effect is performed to encourage whether or not to shift to the first AT state in the previous normal state. The precursory effect will be described later.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted by using the ceiling game number counter becomes the first specified number or the second specified number or more in the initial shortened state, the normal state, or the CZ state. Shifts to the first AT state from the next game on the assumption that the number of ceiling games has been reached.

(Normal state)
In the normal state transitioned from the initial shortened state, a first point determination lottery for determining the initial value of the first point regarding the granting of the first AT state is performed at the transition to the normal state, and the value won in the lottery is the first point. It is set as the initial value of. The values set based on the lottery are "1", "3", "6" or "8".

Further, although the details will be described later, the normal state may shift from the AT state. In this case, the value of the first point acquired before the transition is inherited and set as the initial value of the first point in the normal state.

During the normal state, a second AT transition lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the second AT state in each game, and if the lottery is won, the normal state is terminated and the game shifts to the second AT state from the next game. .. The second AT transition lottery is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

In addition, during the normal state, if the second AT transition lottery is not won, the first AT transition lottery (during the normal state) is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the first AT state in each game, and if the lottery is won. Ends the normal state and shifts to the first AT state from the next game. The first AT transition lottery (during the normal state) is not limited to being performed every time in a game in which the second AT transition lottery is not won, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

In addition, during the normal state, if the second AT transition lottery and the first AT transition lottery (during the normal state) are not won, a CZ transition lottery for whether or not to shift to the CZ state is performed, and if the lottery is won. Ends the normal state and shifts to the CZ state from the next game. The CZ transition lottery is not limited to being performed every time in a game in which the second AT transition lottery and the first AT transition lottery (during the normal state) are not won, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

Further, during the normal state, if the winning combination is won in the winning combination lottery for the addition of the first point, the first point addition lottery (during the normal state) for determining the value to be added to the first point is performed. The value won in the lottery will be added to the current first point. The values added based on the lottery are "1", "2", or "3". Further, a plurality of addition triggers may be provided, and the expected value of the value to be added to the first point may be different for each addition trigger. Further, the first point addition lottery (during the normal state) is not limited to the case where the addition trigger is won, and may be performed in each game.

In the above, it has been described that when the first AT transition lottery (during the normal state) is won, the normal state is changed to the first AT state, but in the normal state, the first AT state may be changed based on another opportunity. Specifically, when the precursor effect is performed in the normal state, the state shifts to the first AT state after the precursor effect is completed.

The precursor effect is performed when the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted by using the ceiling game number counter is equal to or greater than the value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value (example: 40) from the second specified number at the time of transition to the normal state. .. The precursory effect is performed until a predetermined number of precursory games have elapsed. The number of precursor games is set to be greater than or equal to the difference between the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted using the ceiling game number counter and the second specified number. Therefore, after the number of precursor games has elapsed, the number has reached the second specified number, and it is possible to shift to the first AT state.

In the present embodiment, the precursory effect is performed as a so-called present precursor in which the transition to the first AT state is confirmed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the transition to the first AT state is not confirmed. It may be done as a sign of crap. For example, at the time of transition to the normal state, if the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted by using the ceiling game number counter is not equal to or more than the value obtained by subtracting the predetermined value (example: 40) from the second specified number, the normal state is in progress. In each game of the above, a lottery for generating a precursory effect of whether or not to perform a so-called precursory precursory effect may be performed, and when the lottery is won, a so-called precursory precursory effect may be performed.

(CZ state)
The CZ state is a state of transition from the normal state, and is provided with a "normal shortened state" and a "special state".
In the CZ state, at the time of transition to the CZ state, a transition destination determination lottery for determining whether to transition to the "normal shortened state" or the "special state" is performed, and the state is shifted to the winning state in the lottery.

(Normally shortened state)
The normal shortened state is a state in which the first predetermined number is updated so as to be advantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state based on the game result of the game in the normal shortened state. The "game in the normal shortened state" is an example of the "third game". This normal shortening state is a state in which the number of ceiling games is shortened as in the initial shortening state, but it can be executed after the end of the initial shortening state.

In the normal shortened state, the number of guaranteed games of 5 games is provided, and the stay in the normally shortened state is guaranteed until the number of guaranteed games is exceeded. Then, after the number of guaranteed games has elapsed, a lottery for ending the normal shortened state is performed in each game, and if the lottery is won, the normal shortened state ends and the lottery is won. If not, the shortened state usually continues.

In the normal shortened state where the number of guaranteed games is one or more, a second subtraction lottery is performed to determine the value to be subtracted from the first specified number in each game, and the value won in the lottery is subtracted from the current first specified number. Will be done. That is, the "second subtraction lottery" is a lottery for determining the value to be subtracted from the first specified number in the normally shortened state. The values to be subtracted based on the lottery are "5", "10", "30", "50" or "100". Further, the second subtraction lottery is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

In addition, even in the normal shortened state where the number of guaranteed games is 0, if the normal shortened state end lottery is not won, the second subtraction lottery is performed, and the value won in the lottery is the current first specified number. Is subtracted from. The value to be subtracted in this case is the same as above. Further, the second subtraction lottery in this case is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery. Further, the value subtracted in the second subtraction lottery in this case is not limited to the same as in the case where the number of guaranteed games is one or more, and the subtracted value may be different. For example, by making the expected value of the subtracted value higher than when the number of guaranteed games is one or more, it is possible to enhance the feeling of excitement of the player when the normal shortened state end lottery is not won.

Here, in the normal shortened state, the first specified number is updated, but the second specified number is not updated, and the value of the second specified number determined based on the setting mode, that is, the second specified number is determined. The value of the second specified number determined by lottery may be maintained. For example, when the first specified number at the start of the normal shortened state is "600" and the second specified number is "400", as a result of the second subtraction lottery being performed in the normal shortened state, at the end of the normal shortened state. The first specified number may be "500" and the second specified number may be "400".

On the other hand, as described above, the second specified number is no longer set to a value more disadvantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state than the first specified number. Therefore, as a result of the second subtraction lottery, when the second specified number becomes larger than the first specified number, the first specified number is replaced with the second specified number. In other words, in this case, the same value as the first specified number is set as the second specified number. For example, as a result of the second subtraction lottery, when the first specified number is "500" and the second specified number is "600", the second specified number is set to "500". In addition, when the first specified number and the second specified number become the same value and the second subtraction lottery is performed, the value won in the lottery is subtracted from the current first specified number and the second specified number. Will be done. Specifically, when the first specified number and the second specified number are the same value "500", the second subtraction lottery is performed, and when "30" is won in the lottery, the first specified number and The second specified number is updated to "470".

Then, in the normal shortened state in which the number of guaranteed games is 0, if the normal shortened state end lottery is won, the normal shortened state is ended and the game shifts to the normal state from the next game.

(Special condition)
The special state is a state in which it is determined whether or not to shift to the first AT state, and whether or not to add to the first point.
As for the special state, the number of special state games of 15 games is defined.

During the special state, the first AT transition lottery (during the CZ state) is performed in each game, and if the lottery is won, the special state is terminated and the game shifts to the first AT state from the next game. The first AT transition lottery (during the CZ state) is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery. At this time, it is desirable that the winning probability of the first AT transition lottery (in the CZ state) is higher than the winning probability of the first AT transition lottery (in the normal state).

In addition, during the special state, if the player does not win the 1st AT transition lottery (in the CZ state), or if the winning role is won in the winning combination lottery, the 1st point addition lottery (in the CZ state) is performed and the lottery is performed. The value won in is added to the current first point. The value added based on the lottery is set to "2", "3", or "4", and the expected value of earning points is higher than in the normal state. Further, a plurality of addition triggers may be provided, and the expected value of the value to be added to the first point may be different for each addition trigger. Further, the first point addition lottery (during the CZ state) is not limited to the case where the addition trigger is won, and may be performed in each game.
Then, after the number of special state games has elapsed, the game shifts to the normal state from the next game.

(AT state)
The AT state is a state in which the push order is notified when the push order combination is won. Specifically, when the AT state is entered, the push order of the winning push order combination is notified (push order navigation) as a notification effect for assisting the winning of a predetermined role, so that the push order is followed. By operating the stop switch 50, the combination of the winning small winning combination and the replay winning symbol 61 can be stopped and displayed. Therefore, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small winning combination are paid out.

The "AT state" includes a "first AT state", a "second AT state", a "third AT state", a "fourth AT state", and an "ending state".

(1st AT state)
The first AT state is, for example, a state performed when the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted by using the ceiling game number counter becomes the first specified number or the second specified number or more.
In the first AT state, the number of first AT games of 20 games is defined.

In the first AT state, at the time of transition to the first AT state, an acquisition lottery for whether or not to acquire the second point regarding the granting of the second AT state is performed with reference to the first point.
Here, the winning probability of the winning lottery differs depending on the range of the first point. Specifically, when the first point is "4 or less", the winning probability is "25%", when the first point is "5 or 6", the winning probability is "50%", and the first point is "7". In the case of "above", the winning probability is "75%". That is, the larger the value of the first point, the higher the probability of winning the winning lottery.

Then, when the winning lottery is won, the second point addition lottery for determining the value of the second point to be added is performed, and the value won in the lottery is added to the current second point. The values to be added based on the lottery are "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" or "10".

Further, in the first AT state, at the time of transition to the first AT state, a rush border determination lottery for determining the rush border value which is a threshold value for transition to the second AT state is performed. The values determined based on the lottery are "1", "5", "10", "15" or "20". Then, in the present embodiment, when the second point at the end of the first AT state is equal to or greater than the rush border value determined by the rush border determination lottery, the game shifts to the second AT state after the end of the first AT state. It is supposed to be.

In the 1st AT state, when the 2nd point is smaller than the rush border value, the 2nd point addition lottery is performed when the winning role for the addition of the 2nd point is won in the combination lottery, and the lottery is won. The value is added to the current second point. The values added based on the lottery are the same as above. Further, a plurality of addition triggers may be provided, and the expected value of the value to be added to the second point may be different for each addition trigger. Further, the second point addition lottery is not limited to the case where the addition trigger is won, and may be performed in each game when the second point is smaller than the rush border value.

On the other hand, in the 1st AT state, when the 2nd point is equal to or higher than the rush border value and the above-mentioned addition trigger role is won in the combination lottery, the value of the battle points to be added will be added instead of the 2nd point addition lottery. The battle point addition lottery to be decided (during the 1st AT state) is performed, and the value won in the lottery is added to the battle points used in the continuous state after the transition. That is, the battle points added in the battle point addition lottery (during the first AT state) are set for the second AT state which is transferred and executed after the end of the first AT state. The values added based on the lottery are "0", "1", or "5". Further, a plurality of addition triggers may be provided, and the expected value of the value to be added to the battle points may be different for each addition trigger. Further, the battle point addition lottery (during the first AT state) is not limited to the case where the addition trigger is won, and may be performed in each game when the second point is equal to or higher than the rush border value.

Then, if the second point is equal to or greater than the rush border value when the number of first AT games has elapsed, the game shifts to the second AT state from the next game.
On the other hand, if the second point is smaller than the inrush border value when the number of the first AT games has elapsed, the game shifts to the non-advantageous section or the normal state from the next game.

Here, when the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted using the ceiling game number counter exceeds a predetermined number of games (example: 350 games) and shifts to the first AT state, the second AT game number elapses. When the point is smaller than the inrush border value, the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section occurs after the end of the first AT state. That is, in this case, after the end of the first AT state, the next game shifts to the non-advantageous section.

In addition, when the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted using the ceiling game number counter shifts to the first AT state when the number of games has passed a predetermined number (eg, 350 games), the second point is given when the number of first AT games has elapsed. When it is smaller than the inrush border value, the advantageous section may continue without shifting to the non-advantageous section after the end of the first AT state. Specifically, in this case, a takeover lottery for whether or not to take over the advantageous section is performed, and when the lottery is won, the first specified number is set to "500" and the setting mode is set to "mode C". In the state, it shifts from the next game to the normal state. After that, with the setting mode set to "mode C", the second specified number determination lottery is performed, and the second specified number in the succeeded advantageous section is determined. Further, when the state shifts to the normal state after the end of the first AT state, the values of the first point and the second point at the end of the first AT state are inherited. If the player does not win the takeover lottery, the game will shift to the non-advantageous section from the next game.

Then, the first specified number when the advantageous section continues without shifting to the non-advantageous section is compared to the initial specified number when shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, and the player is given the first AT state. An advantageous value is set. That is, when the advantageous section continues without shifting to the non-advantageous section, the first specified number is "500", and the initial specified number "625", "725", which is set based on the initial specified number determination lottery, And since the value is smaller than "825", the number of ceiling games is reached quickly.

Further, the second specified number when the advantageous section continues without shifting to the non-advantageous section after the end of the first AT state is set to a value more disadvantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state than the first specified number. It's gone. Therefore, when the second specified number determined by the second specified number determination lottery is larger than the first specified number, the first specified number is replaced with the second specified number. In other words, in this case, the same value as the first specified number is set as the second specified number. For example, when the second specified number determined by the second specified number determination lottery is "600", the second specified number is set to "500" which is the same value as the first specified number.

(2nd AT state)
The second AT state is provided with a "preparation state", a "continuation state", and a "special state". The "second AT state" is an example of the "specific state".

The details of each state in the second AT state will be described later, but in the continuous state, a battle effect is performed, and the continuous state can be continuously executed by winning the battle during the battle effect. In the ready state, the opponents and battle points of each battle during the battle production that is performed in the continuous state are to be determined. The special state is a state that shifts when the continuation state ends with both the victory flag (basic point) and the victory flag (battle point), which will be described later, turned on, and is set in the continuation state after the continuation. Battle points will be added.

Here, in the present embodiment, "continue the continuous state" means that the continuous state is continuously executed without shifting from the second AT state to another effect state. That is, the "continue continuous state" includes a case where the state shifts to the prepared state or the special state after the end of the first continuous state, and then the second continuous state is executed. Of course, "continue the continuous state" includes the case where the second continuous state is executed without shifting to the prepared state or the special state after the end of the first continuous state.
Hereinafter, details of each state in the second AT state will be described.

(Preparation state)
As for the preparation state, the first half part and the second half part are provided.
In the first half part, the number of games in the first half of three games is determined, and after the number of games in the first half elapses, the game shifts from the next game to the second half part.

In the first half part, at the time of transition of the first half part, an opponent determination lottery is performed to determine the opponent of each battle during the battle production that is performed in the continuous state. Here, in the battle production in the present embodiment, a maximum of three battles can be executed, and by winning the first battle (hereinafter referred to as "first round"), the second battle (hereinafter referred to as "first round") is performed. The second round) will be held, and by winning the second round, the third battle (hereinafter referred to as the "third round") will be held. Then, if the third round is won, it becomes "successful battle production", and the game shifts to the third AT state from the next game. On the other hand, if you lose the battle during the battle production, you will move to the non-advantageous section from the next game.

Further, in the battle production in the present embodiment, different opponents are assigned according to each battle of the first round, the second round, and the third round. Specifically, there are three opponents, "Opposite A", "Opposite B", and "Opposite C", which are used in the battle production. The corresponding opponent is decided. "Opposite" is an example of "element".

FIG. 9A shows a combination of opponents according to each battle determined by the opponent determination lottery. The combination of opponents shown in FIG. 9A is stored in advance in the ROM of the main control means 200.
As shown in Fig. 9 (A), the combination of opponents is "Pattern 1" of "Opposite A" in the first round, "Opposite B" in the second round, and "Opposite C" in the third round, and 1 Six patterns are provided, such as "Pattern 2" in which the round is "Opposite A", the second round is "Opposite C", and the third round is "Opposite B".

Then, in the opponent determination lottery, one pattern is selected from the six patterns from "Pattern 1" to "Pattern 6". As a result, any of the opponents among the plurality of opponents is assigned to the continuous state in which each battle of the first round, the second round, and the third round is performed.

In addition, each of the plurality of opponents has a basic point regarding the determination of whether or not to win the battle. In addition, "winning the battle" is an example of "a predetermined condition is satisfied", and "basic point" is an example of "second index".

FIG. 9B shows the initial values of the basic points corresponding to each of the plurality of opponents. The initial values of the basic points shown in FIG. 9B are stored in advance in the ROM of the main control means 200. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, the initial value of the basic points corresponding to the opponent A is "7", the initial value of the basic points corresponding to the opponent B is "9", and the initial value corresponds to the opponent C. The initial value of the basic point is "11". The details of the basic points will be described later, but the larger the value, the higher the winning percentage of the battle, and it is configured to be advantageous for the player.

In addition, during the first half part, a lottery for adding basic points is performed in each game to determine whether or not to add to the basic points of the battle corresponding to the number of games in the first half. In this embodiment, as "basic points of the battle corresponding to the number of games in the first half", the first game of the first half part corresponds to "basic points set for the opponent in the first round", and the second game of the first half part. Corresponds to the "basic points set for the opponent in the second round", and the third game of the first half part corresponds to the "basic points set for the opponent in the third round".

For example, when the basic point addition lottery is won in the first game of the first half part, the value won in the basic point addition lottery is added to the basic points set for the opponent in the first round. The values added based on the lottery are "4", "8", or "12". Further, the basic point addition lottery is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

In the second half part, the number of second half games of 12 games is set. Then, in the second half part, the production device 70 is used to notify the production according to the opponents who will be competing in the battle performed in the continuous state that shifts after the end of the second half part. As the "directing according to the opponent", for example, a video introducing the opponent is displayed on the display unit 84.

During the second half part, in each game, a battle point addition lottery (during the second half part) is held to decide whether or not to win the battle, and if the lottery is won, the winner is won. The value is added to the battle points used in the continuous state that shifts after the end of the second half part. That is, in the prepared state, the latter half part is a state in which the battle points to be used in the continuous state to be transferred after the end of the latter half part are determined. The values added based on the battle point addition lottery (during the second half part) are "1", "2", "3", "4", "6", "8", "10" or "20". It is said that. Further, the battle point addition lottery (during the latter half part) is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery. The details of the battle points will be described later, but the larger the value, the higher the winning percentage of the battle, which is configured to be advantageous to the player. The "battle point" is an example of the "first index".

Here, the battle points determined during the latter half part are set for the continuation state that is transferred and executed after the end of the preparation state. For example, when the player shifts to the ready state for the first time in the advantageous section, the battle points determined during the latter half part of the ready state are set to the first round.

Then, after the number of games in the latter half has elapsed, the game shifts to the continuous state from the next game.
Of the prepared states, the first half part is executed only when the second AT state shifts to the prepared state for the first time, and the second and subsequent prepared states that shift as the continuous state continues are started from the latter half part. ..

(Continued state)
The continuation state is a state in which the state shifts after the end of the preparation state and can be continuously executed based on the victory of the battle. As described above, since the battle effect can be executed up to 3 times, the continuous state can be continued up to 3 times. Then, if the third battle, that is, the third round is won, it becomes "successful battle production", and the game shifts to the third AT state from the next game.

As for the continuation state, the number of battle games of 17 games is set. In the continuous state, a victory flag (basic point) and a victory flag (battle point) are provided as flags for determining the victory or defeat of the battle. At the time of transition to the continuous state, the victory flag (basic point) and the victory flag (battle point) are OFF. If at least one of the victory flag (basic points) or the victory flag (battle points) is turned on before the number of battle games of 17 games has elapsed, the victory of the battle is determined and the continuation state is continued. It is supposed to be done.

In the continuation state, at the time of transition to the continuation state, a victory lottery (basic points) for whether or not to win the battle is performed based on the basic points set for the opponent assigned to the battle to be executed. At this time, the larger the value of the basic points, the higher the probability of winning the winning lottery (basic points). Further, when the value of the basic points is "20" or more, the winning lottery (basic points) is always won. It should be noted that "at the time of transition to the continuous state" is an example of "first opportunity".
Then, when the victory lottery (basic points) is won, the victory flag (basic points) is set to ON.

During the continuation state, if you win the rewriting trigger role related to rewriting the victory flag (battle point) from OFF to ON in the role lottery, the victory lottery (battle) whether to win the battle by referring to the battle point Point) is done. At this time, the larger the value of the battle points, the higher the probability of winning the victory lottery (battle points). Further, when the value of the battle point is "20" or more, it is configured to be sure to win the victory lottery (battle point). The victory lottery (battle points) is to be executed after the victory lottery (basic points). In addition, "when the rewriting trigger role is won in the winning combination lottery in the continuous state" is an example of the "second opportunity".

Then, when the victory lottery (battle points) is set, the victory flag (battle points) is set to ON. It should be noted that a plurality of rewriting triggers may be provided, and the winning probability of the winning lottery (battle points) may be different for each rewriting trigger. Further, the victory lottery (battle points) is not limited to the case where the rewriting trigger is won, and may be performed in each game.

In addition, if the winning flag (battle point) is set to ON and then the rewriting trigger role is won in the role lottery during the continuation state, it is set to the continuation state after the continuation instead of the victory lottery (battle point). A battle point addition lottery (during continuous state) is held to determine the value to be added to the battle points. The values added based on the lottery are "0", "10", or "20". Further, a plurality of rewriting triggers may be provided, and the expected value of the value to be added to the battle points may be different for each rewrite trigger. Further, the battle point addition lottery (during the continuous state) is not limited to the case where the rewriting trigger is won, and may be performed in each game after the victory flag (battle point) is set to ON.

Here, the winning role in the continuous role lottery is provided with a special role corresponding to each of a plurality of opponents, in which the victory of the battle is determined by the winning. Specifically, a "first special role" is provided as a special role according to opponent A, a "second special role" is provided as a special role according to opponent B, and a special role according to opponent C is provided. A "third special role" is provided as a role. Then, if a special role corresponding to the opponent of the battle is won during the continuous state, the victory flag (battle point) is set to ON.

Next, processing in the final game in which the number of battle games is 0, that is, the continuous state will be described.
First, if you do not win the rewriting trigger role or the special role according to the opponent of the battle in the role lottery until the final game in the continuous state, and you have battle points of "20" or more, the victory flag (battle points) ) Is set to ON.

Further, when the victory flag (battle point) is not set to ON, that is, when it is OFF and the total value of the basic points and the battle points is equal to or more than a predetermined value (example: 20), the victory flag (battle) is set. Point) is set to ON.

If both the victory flag (basic points) and the victory flag (battle points) are OFF, the game shifts to the non-advantageous section from the next game. That is, in this case, the continuation state does not continue.
If either the victory flag (basic points) or the victory flag (battle points) is ON, the game shifts to the ready state from the next game. Then, in this case, the continuation state continues, and the process shifts to the latter half part of the preparation state.

If both the victory flag (basic points) and the victory flag (battle points) are ON, the game shifts to a special state from the next game. Then, in this case, the continuation state continues.
Here, when the continuation of the continuation state is determined, that is, when at least one of the victory flag (basic point) and the victory flag (battle point) is ON, the battle point to be used in the continuation state after the continuation is set. In this case, when the total value of the basic points and the battle points is larger than "100", the value obtained by subtracting 20 from the total value of the basic points and the battle points is used as the battle points to be used in the continuation state after the continuation. Set. That is, in this case, a value exceeding the above predetermined value (example: 20) is set as a battle point to be used in the continuation state after the continuation.

On the other hand, in the above case, when the total value of the basic points and the battle points is "100" or less, "0" is set as the battle points to be used in the continuation state after the continuation.

(Special condition)
The special state is a state in which it is possible to increase the probability of winning the battle in the continuous state after the continuation based on the result of the game.
As for the special state, the number of special games of 10 games is determined, and after the number of special games elapses, the game shifts from the next game to the second half part of the ready state.

During the special state, a battle point addition lottery (during the special state) is held to determine whether or not to add battle points in each game, and if the lottery is won, the winning value will be used in the continuous state after the continuation. It will be added to the points. The values added based on the battle point addition lottery (during the special state) are "1", "2", "3", "4", "6", "8", "10", or "20". It is said that. Further, the battle point addition lottery (during the special state) is not limited to being performed in each game, and may be performed based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

(3rd AT state)
In the third AT state, the number of third AT games of 30 games is defined.
In the 3rd AT state, when the winning combination in the 3rd AT state wins the AT transition trigger for the transition to the 4th AT state, the 4th AT transition lottery for whether or not to shift to the 4th AT state is performed. Then, when the 4th AT transition lottery is won, the 3rd AT state is ended and the game shifts to the 4th AT state from the next game. After the end of the 4th AT state, the game shifts to the 3rd AT state. In this case, the number of the 3rd AT games is reset and the 3rd AT state is started from the first game. That is, in this case, instead of restarting the third AT state from the game that has shifted to the fourth AT state, the third AT state is started from the beginning of the number of third AT games of 30 games.

On the other hand, if the 4th AT transition lottery is not won before the number of the 3rd AT games of 30 games has elapsed, the next game shifts to the non-advantageous section.
The 4th AT transition lottery is not limited to the case where the AT transition trigger is won, and may be performed in each game.

(4th AT state)
The fourth AT state is a state that can be executed until a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 100 medals are paid out.
In the 4th AT state, when the role lottery during the 4AT state is won as a stock acquisition trigger related to the acquisition of the stock in the 4AT state, a stock acquisition lottery for whether or not to acquire the stock in the 4AT state is performed. .. Then, if the stock acquisition lottery is won, one stock in the 4th AT state is acquired. One of these stocks is used at the end of the 4th AT state, and the 4th AT state can be executed until 100 or more medals are paid out again.

If more than 100 medals are paid out in the 4th AT state, the game shifts to the 3rd AT state from the next game.
The stock acquisition lottery is not limited to the case where the stock acquisition trigger is won, and may be performed in each game.

(Ending state)
The ending state is a state of shifting from each state when the difference number of sheets in the advantageous section reaches "2100 sheets". Note that FIG. 8 shows only the arrow that shifts from the 3rd AT state or the 4th AT state to the ending state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and from other production states in the advantageous section such as the 1st AT state and the 2nd AT state. Can also be transitioned to the ending state.
In the ending state, the push order of the winning push order combination is notified (push order navigation), so by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified push order, the combination of the winning small role and replay role symbols 61 Can be stopped and displayed. Therefore, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small winning combination are paid out.

Further, in the ending state, a display (hereinafter, referred to as “ending display”) indicating that the ending state is being executed and suggesting that the advantageous section ends is displayed on the display unit 84. Specifically, in the ending state, the characters "ending" are repeatedly displayed on the display unit 84 (not shown).

Further, in the ending state, as the ending display, along with the characters, a moving image, a still image, or the like that occurs only in the ending state is displayed on the display unit 84 as an ending effect. In the present embodiment, as the ending effect, the indicators (basic points and battle points) that triggered the continuation of the continuous state are displayed on the display unit 84. For example, if the victory of the first round is based on the ON of the victory flag (basic points), characters such as "The first round wins with the basic points" are displayed on the display unit 84, or the victory of the second round is the victory flag (basic points). When it is based on ON of the point) and the victory flag (battle point), characters such as "the second round wins with the basic point and the battle point" are displayed on the display unit 84.

By configuring the ending state as described above, the player can feel more joy in the ending state by playing the game while paying attention to the ending effect dedicated to the ending state.

Then, during the ending state, when the number of advantageous section elapsed games counted using the advantageous section counter reaches 1500 games, or by the difference between the number of medals inserted in the advantageous section and the number of medals paid out. When a certain difference number reaches MY2400, the next game shifts to the non-advantageous section.

(Display example of display unit 84)
Next, a display example of the display unit 84 in the normal state will be described with reference to FIG. 10, and a display example of the display unit 84 in the normal shortened state will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, a background effect 84A composed of a dog character 84B and a sun mark 84C and a first specified number display 84F are displayed on the display unit 84 in a normal state. At this time, "500" is displayed as the value of the first specified number display 84F shown in FIG. 10, indicating to the player that the first specified number is "500".

Then, in the present embodiment, the second specified number is not displayed on the display unit 84, and the first specified number is displayed using the first specified number display 84F. That is, in the present embodiment, the player can recognize the first specified number, but cannot recognize the second specified number. In the normal state shown in FIG. 10, as an example, the first specified number is "500" and the second specified number is "300".

Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the display unit 84 in the normal shortened state shifted from the normal state shown in FIG. 10 has a background effect 84A composed of a rabbit character 84D and a moon mark 84E, and a first specified number. The display 84F and the subtraction display 84G indicating the first specified number to be subtracted are displayed. At this time, "-50" is displayed as the value of the subtraction display 84G shown in FIG. 11, indicating to the player that "50" is subtracted from the first specified number. Then, as a result of subtracting "50" from the first specified number in the normal state shown in FIG. 10, "450" is displayed as the value of the first specified number display 84F shown in FIG.

Further, as described above, in the normal shortened state, the first specified number is updated, but the second specified number is not updated, and the value determined based on the setting mode may be maintained. In the case shown in FIG. 11, the first specified number "450" is larger than the second specified number "300", so that the value of the second specified number is in the normal state shown in FIG. Has been maintained from.

(Action effect)
In the present embodiment, two types of ceiling games, a first specified number and a second specified number, are provided as the number of ceiling games until the first AT state is given. As a result, according to the present embodiment, for example, even if the first specified number is not a value that is advantageous to the player, if the second specified number is a value that is advantageous to the player, the second specified number is reached. It is possible to leave the player's expectation that the first AT state is given, and to improve the player's motivation toward reaching the second specified number.

From the above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the motivation of the player in the game until the number of ceiling games is reached, while making the player interested in reaching the number of ceiling games.

In the present embodiment, the second specified number is no longer set to a value more disadvantageous to the player regarding the granting of the first AT state than the first specified number. Specifically, in the present embodiment, a value in which the second specified number is larger than the first specified number is no longer set. Then, in the present embodiment, the second specified number is not displayed on the display unit 84, but the first specified number is displayed (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the first AT state is given when the second specified number is reached, the first AT state is set earlier than expected for the player who is aiming to reach the first specified number.
