Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine capable of shifting to the AT state by performing a shift lottery to the assist time (AT) state and winning the shift lottery.
Further, it is set so that the winning probability of the AT transition lottery increases as the number of consecutive non-winnings of the AT transition lottery increases (see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-167239

However, in all of the above-mentioned gaming machines of Patent Document 1, the transition to the AT state is determined by lottery, and the lottery is biased, so that the AT transition lottery is won too much or not won more than expected. There was a problem that it would end up.

Therefore, the present invention gives a feeling of anxiety (anxiety) and a feeling of excitement (elevation) that the privilege may be obtained by the lottery, and the privilege is given too much or not given due to the bias of the lottery. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing such a situation.

Each of the inventions described in each claim has been made in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the features of each invention will be described below using the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings.
In the gaming machine (10) according to the present invention, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery for whether or not to grant the privilege is set in a plurality of stages, and it is possible to shift to the stage where the lottery probability is high at a predetermined opportunity.
The privilege granting lottery is performed with a lottery probability according to the stage of the game, which is the result of the lottery of the combination lottery, and when the privilege granting lottery is won, the privilege can be granted and the privilege is granted. It is characterized in that the number of times the winning lottery is not won and the number of times the result of the winning combination lottery results in a specific result are counted, and the privilege can be given when the counted value reaches a predetermined number of times.

This gives a feeling of anxiety and excitement that the benefits may be obtained by the lottery, while preventing the benefits from being given too much or not being given due to the bias of the lottery. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing.

Here, the above-mentioned "stage" is preferably configured such that it is impossible to shift to the stage where the lottery probability decreases and it is possible to shift only to the stage where the lottery probability increases. As a result, it is possible to enjoy the change of the stage while eliminating the player's anxiety about the decrease in the lottery probability. However, not limited to this, it is also possible to move to the stage where the lottery probability decreases, and in this case, it is possible to give a sense of accomplishment to the stage where the lottery probability increases. ..

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is further characterized in that, when the privilege granting lottery is won, the privilege is granted and the count value is not updated and is maintained.
As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of giving a privilege while maintaining the count value.
In other words, if the count value, which is one of the routes for granting benefits, reaches a predetermined number of times, it will not proceed if the lottery for granting benefits, which is one of the other routes, is won. , When the count value reaches a predetermined number of times, it can be treated as compensation for the privilege grant lottery.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is further characterized in that the privilege when the count value reaches the predetermined number of times is given without going through the privilege grant lottery.
As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing a downside due to a bias in the lottery that the privilege is not given too much.

Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the counted value reaches the predetermined number of times, the privilege is given after the next game of the game that has reached the predetermined number of times. It is characterized by being reset.
As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of giving the privilege again after the privilege is given.
That is, it is possible to give a privilege every time the count value reaches a predetermined number of times, and even if the privilege by the privilege grant lottery is not given, it is possible to make the player play a game rich in interest. ..

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention further includes a non-advantageous section and an advantageous section capable of shifting from the non-advantageous section, and the advantageous section can be shifted to the first state and the first state. The third state includes a second state that is more advantageous to the player than the first state, and a third state that can be transferred from the second state by satisfying a predetermined condition in the second state. , It is a state of notifying information regarding the end of the advantageous section, and after the end of the third state, it is in a state of shifting to the non-advantageous section. It is also performed in the third state using the lottery probability at the time of transition from the second state to the third state, and the count value is the end condition of the second state without satisfying the predetermined condition in the second state. When the above condition is satisfied, the value is reset, and when the state shifts from the second state to the third state, the count value at the time of transition to the third state is inherited as it is, and the step is performed from the second state to the third state. When it shifts to the state, it is characterized in that the stage at the time of the transition is taken over to the third state.

As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of giving a privilege by taking over the count value and the stage even when the transition from the second state to the third state is made.
That is, even in the third state, as in the second state, while giving a feeling of anxiety (anxiety) and a feeling of excitement (elevation) that the privilege may be obtained by the lottery, the privilege is due to the bias of the lottery. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing the addition of too much or not being given too much.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention further includes a display device capable of displaying an image, displays the same number of notification images as the predetermined number of times on the display device, and is updated every time the count value is updated. It is characterized in that the number of the notification images is changed.
As a result, it is possible to give a notice that the privilege will be granted, and it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing the expectation for the privilege.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is higher than the expected value to which the privilege is granted when the count value reaches the predetermined number of times. It is characterized in that the expected value to which the privilege is given is set to be higher by winning the grant lottery.

As a result, by making it easier for the player to be granted the privilege by the privilege grant lottery, it is possible to treat the privilege when the counted value reaches a predetermined number of times as compensation for the privilege grant lottery, and the privilege grant lottery. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of giving a privilege without increasing the lottery probability.
In addition to the benefits of the privilege granting lottery, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery can be kept low by granting the privilege even when the count value reaches a predetermined number of times, and the privilege granting lottery is won too much. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being given too many benefits.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the stage is further composed of a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the gaming value given to the player is different because the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is different. The privilege is to notify the operation mode when the player wins the combination in which the maximum game value is given to the player when the stop switch is operated in the operation mode predetermined by the combination lottery. It is characterized by being.

That is, since the player is given the game value by the privilege, the lottery probability stage of the privilege grant lottery is composed of a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different. I can say.
As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of granting a privilege with a lottery probability according to the expected degree of gaming value given to the player.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, a lottery probability of a privilege granting lottery for whether or not to grant a privilege is set in a plurality of stages, and it is possible to shift to a stage where the lottery probability is high at a predetermined opportunity. Yes, the privilege granting lottery is performed with a lottery probability according to the stage of the game in which the lottery result of the combination lottery is a predetermined result, and when the privilege granting lottery is won, the privilege can be granted. The number of times that the privilege granting lottery is not won is counted, and the privilege can be granted when the counted value reaches a predetermined number of times. Is not renewed when a predetermined maintenance role is won, and the above-mentioned privilege is given.

This gives a feeling of anxiety and excitement that the benefits may be obtained by the lottery, while preventing the benefits from being given too much or not being given due to the bias of the lottery. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing.

In addition, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of giving a privilege while maintaining the counted value.
In other words, if the count value, which is one of the routes for granting benefits, reaches a predetermined number of times, it will not proceed if the lottery for granting benefits, which is one of the other routes, is won. , When the count value reaches a predetermined number of times, it can be treated as compensation for the privilege grant lottery.

As described above, when the predetermined number of bets is set according to the gaming state, the valid line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set.
There are two methods for setting the number of bets: a method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method of setting a credit medal as the number of bets by operating the bet switch 32. Then, on the condition that the specified number of bets (2 or 3) is set, when the start switch 40 is operated, the number of bets is fixed, and the winning combination lottery means 210 wins one of the plurality of winning combinations. A lottery (role lottery) will be held to see if the game is lost or lost. Further, almost at the same time as the winning combination lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in the present embodiment) has elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 62 in the previous game, and the predetermined time is determined. After that, the rotation of all three rotating reels 62 starts.

After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in the present embodiment, after executing the process of accelerating the rotary reel 62, the predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the rotary reel 62 is the reference position. ) Is satisfied, the stop switch 50 is in a state in which it can be operated (stop operation is possible).

After that, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. Then, when the operation of all three stop switches 50 is completed, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.

At this time, when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is aligned on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the combination of the symbols 61 is performed. The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed so that the gaming value is given to the player when a combination of predetermined symbols 61 is arranged on the effective line 86. For example, when a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to a small role is aligned on the effective line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small role is given to the player.

The winning probability of the winning combination lottery is set in multiple stages, and in this embodiment, 6 stages (set value 1 to set value 6) are set, and the set value 1 is the most for the winning combination having a difference in winning probability depending on the set value. It is set to be low and the set value 6 is set to be the highest.
The stage of the set value is not limited to 6 stages, and may be less than 6 stages or 7 or more stages.

In addition, if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the replay role is aligned on the effective line 86, the number of bets will be automatic without using the player's own medal in the next game, although no medals will be paid out. The game can be played. In addition, although the replay role does not actually pay out medals, it may be considered that three medals are given to the player and the game is played again using the given medals. can. That is, the replay role can also be included in the role in which the player is given a medal (game value) by winning a prize.

It is a push order role that is established (winning).
Then, if the push order and the operation timing of the first stop are correct, 15 medals are paid out.

If the operation order is correct but the operation timing of the first stop is incorrect, or if the operation order of the first stop is correct but the operation order of the second stop is incorrect, as shown in FIG. , At the operation timing of the stop switch 50, any of the roles (so-called Koboshi role) of "DS_1 and DS_3" included in the winning combination group "ATCL1" is established (winning), and one medal is paid out. If the answer is incorrect from the first stop, at the operation timing of the stop switch 50, any of the combinations of "ATLR_1 to ATLR_16, ATLR_21, ATLR_7 to ATLR_10, DS_7 to DS_9" included in the winning combination group "ATCL1" ( Either the so-called Koboshi role) is established (winning) and one medal is paid out, or all the roles including the so-called Koboshi role are not established (winning) and no medal is paid out.

Here, the correct pressing order of the winning combination group "ATCL1" is "CL" (first stop is middle stop switch C, second stop is left stop switch L, third stop is right stop switch R). be.

Similarly, for example, when the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop are correct, the winning combination group "ATRC2" is either "15 AT (RCL2)" depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 50. It is a push order role that is established (winning).
Then, if the push order and the operation timing of the first stop are correct, 15 medals are paid out.

If the operation order is correct but the operation timing of the first stop is incorrect, or if the operation order of the first stop is correct but the operation order of the second stop is incorrect, as shown in FIG. , At the operation timing of the stop switch 50, any of the roles (so-called Koboshi role) of "DS_22, ATLR_7, DS_24, ATLR_9, DS_19, DS_20" included in the winning combination group "ATRC2" is established (winning) and the medal is awarded. One will be paid out. If the answer is incorrect from the first stop, one of the roles (so-called Koboshi role) of "ATLC_7 to ATLR_14" included in the winning combination group "ATRC2" is established (winning) at the operation timing of the stop switch 50. Either one medal will be paid out, or all the roles including the so-called Koboshi role will not be established (winning) and no medal will be paid out.

Here, the correct pressing order of the winning combination group "ATRC2" is "RC" (the first stop is the right stop switch R, the second stop is the middle stop switch C, and the third stop is the left stop switch L). be.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is a means included in the main control board 200, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62 based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. The reel control means 220 may also set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (pushing order) when each stop switch 50 is stopped is satisfied with a predetermined condition, if necessary. The processing by the reel control means 220 is performed in step S12 (see FIG. 23) described later.

(Stop symbol determination means 230)
The stop symbol determination means 230 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is for storing the combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped and for determining a prize or the like. be. The process by the stop symbol determining means 230 is performed in step S13 (see FIG. 23), which will be described later.

(Payout control means 240)
The payout control means 240 is for performing a predetermined process such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. The payout control means 240 pays out medals when it is determined that the small winning combination has won a prize as a result of the determination of the stop symbol determination means 230. The process by the payout control means 240 is performed in step S14 (see FIG. 23), which will be described later.

(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. 16). 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. 16). 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. 16). Here, the bonus game state is changed by winning the bonus transfer combination "RBB1" to "RBB6" and stopping and displaying the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination on the effective line 86.
Here, "RBB1" to "RBB4" end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, 36 or more medals, and "RBB5" and "RBB6" end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 5 medals. finish.
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 a non-advantageous section in which the operation mode of the stop switch 50, which will be described later, cannot be notified, and an advantageous section in which the operation mode can be notified, using FIG.
Then, the effect control means 320, which will be described later, is used to execute an effect or the like for notifying the operation mode (pushing order and operation timing of the first stop) of the stop switch 50.
Here, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 to be notified is not limited to the push order and the operation timing of the first stop, and may be only the push order or the operation timing of the first stop.

Further, the advantageous section control means 260 changes from the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section", which is performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the non-advantageous section, for example, when a predetermined combination is won by a combination lottery. By winning the transition lottery, the transition from the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section" is made.

Here, a predetermined combination will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, when the specified number is two, the transition lottery to the advantageous section (advantageous section transition lottery) is performed regardless of the game state (see FIG. 16) regardless of which combination is won. do not have.
In addition, when the specified number is 3, when the game state is "RT0", "RT2" (RBB5F, RBB6F) (see FIG. 16), when "RPSVN1" or "CH1" is won, the advantageous section shifts. A lottery will be held.

In addition, it is not limited to the case where it is decided to shift to the advantageous section by the advantageous section transition lottery executed when the winning of the predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery, and it is determined in advance. By winning the winning combination, it is possible to shift from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section without performing the advantageous section transition lottery.

In addition, the winning probability determined in advance for each result of the winning combination lottery triggered by the winning combination lottery, for example, 0% in the case of winning the winning combination groups "HZ" and "RPSVN2", and 100% in the other winning combination groups. You may make a lottery to shift to an advantageous section with. In such a case, the winning combination group that does not win even if the advantageous section transition lottery is performed and the winning combination group that always wins, the winning combination displayed when the left first stop is made is the same combination. It is desirable to have it (see FIG. 12). With this configuration, in the left first stop, which is usually performed, as a result of the game, a winning combination that will not be won in the advantageous section transition lottery is established (winning), or a winning combination is always established (winning). It is possible to make it impossible to know whether or not the player has won a prize, and it is also possible to prevent the player from noticing the transition to the advantageous section.

The advantageous section control means 260 shifts to the AT state described later when the number of digested games in the advantageous section normal state reaches a predetermined number of games, for example, 777 games (so-called ceiling).
The predetermined number of games is not limited to 777 games, and may be another number of games, or may be determined by lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, a counter for counting the predetermined number of games (so-called ceiling games) is provided, and the counters are "RT0" and "RBB5F (RBB5F), which are performed with a specified number of three cards. The counter is updated (subtracted) only in "RT2)" and "RBB6F (RT2)" (see FIG. 16), and the counter is not updated (subtracted) in other states.

Further, in the advantageous section, an upper limit is set for the game section in which the game can be played, and the number of digested games in the game section in which counting is started after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is a predetermined upper limit number of games, for example, 1500 games. When the number of games reaches the upper limit of the advantageous section, the game shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section.

Further, in the present embodiment, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, even before the predetermined upper limit number of games (1500 games) is exhausted (before reaching the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section), it is advantageous. When the difference number, which is the difference between the number of medals inserted in the section and the number of medals paid out, reaches a predetermined number (upper limit difference number), the section is shifted from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section.

Here, the section controlled by the advantageous section control means 260 includes a non-advantageous section and, as will be described later, an “advantageous section normal state”, an “AT state”, and an “ending state” provided in the advantageous section (FIG. 17). reference).

(Means for granting benefits 261)
Further, the advantageous section control means 260 has a privilege granting means 261 as shown in FIG.
The privilege granting means 261 is to perform a privilege granting lottery as to whether or not to grant the privilege in the AT state which is an example of the second state and the ending state which is an example of the third state.

The privilege granting means 261 is not limited to the case where it is performed in the AT state and the ending state, and is performed in a state where the operation mode of the stop switch 50 such as the advantageous section normal state is not notified, the privilege is accumulated, and the AT You may give the privilege that you have accumulated after the transition to the state.

Specifically, in the privilege granting lottery, when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is a predetermined result, for example, the winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2" (AT combination) (see FIG. 13), the AT combination is won. It is performed with a lottery probability according to the stage of the game won in, and the privilege can be granted when the privilege granting lottery is won.

Here, as shown in FIG. 18, the "stage" is composed of a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different because the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is different. Then, stages 1 to 5 are provided.

For example, in the present embodiment, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery in stage 1 is "28%", the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery in stage 2 is "43%", and the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery in stage 3 is "56". % ”, The lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery in stage 4 is set to“ 69 ”, and the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery in stage 5 is set to“ 100% ”.

That is, when the result of the winning combination lottery is a predetermined result, the privilege granting lottery is performed based on the lottery probability set according to the stage with reference to the stage in which the game is being executed.

Here, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is the privilege even when the count value of the number of times the privilege granting lottery, which will be described later, is not won and the number of times the result of the role lottery is a specific result reaches a predetermined number of times. It is set lower than when granting is not adopted.

That is, the lottery probability when it is assumed that the privilege granting lottery must be won in order to grant the privilege is, for example, "39%" in the stage 1 and "50%" in the stage 2 from the expected value of the medal payout. , "62%" in stage 3, "73%" in stage 4, and "100%" in stage 5, and the number of times the prize was not won and the result of the role lottery are specific results. Even when the count value with the number of times becomes becomes higher than the case where the privilege is not adopted even when it reaches the predetermined number of times.

If the lottery probability is high in this way, winning too many medals will result in more medals being paid out than expected, which may upset the balance of the game (so-called upside). ).
On the other hand, if the lottery probability of the privilege grant lottery is set too low, the medals may not be paid out more than the expected value of the medal payout, which may upset the balance of the game (so-called downside).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to make it possible to grant the privilege while setting the lottery probability of the privilege grant lottery low, the number of times the privilege grant lottery is not won and the result of the role lottery are specific results. Even when the count value with the number of times reaches a predetermined number of times, the privilege is given.
Here, "the result of the winning combination lottery is a specific result" means that the winning combination group "HZ" has been won, but the present invention is not limited to this.

In addition, such a stage is set so that it can be promoted by, for example, winning a promotion lottery as to whether or not to promote.
Therefore, it is set to be able to be promoted to stage 5 by winning the promotion lottery from stage 1 which is the initial stage.

In addition, when the AT state, which is an example of the second state, is changed to the ending state, which is an example of the third state, the stage at the time of the transition is taken over to the third state, and in the third state, the stage is taken over. I try not to fluctuate.
That is, when the predetermined condition for shifting to the ending state in the AT state is satisfied, the stage of the AT state at the time of shifting to the ending state is taken over to the ending state as it is, and in the ending state, the lottery probability of the stage is reached. Based on this, a lottery for granting benefits will be held.

The promotion of the stage may be promoted by digesting a predetermined game.
In addition, the initial stage and the highest stage that can be promoted may be determined by lottery.

Further, the winning probability of the promotion lottery, the initial stage, and the highest stage that can be promoted may be predetermined by the AT state mode or the like.
That is, an AT mode for managing the advantage of the AT state may be provided, and the winning probability of the promotion lottery, the initial stage, and the highest stage that can be promoted may be determined according to the AT mode during the stay. ..
In this case, an additional lottery or an additional state transition lottery is performed according to the AT mode, the initial stage can be started from a higher stage according to the AT mode, and the highest stage that can be promoted is staged. It is possible to make it possible to promote only up to 3.
Here, in more detail, the AT mode manages the advantage of the AT state by changing the lottery probability of the additional lottery and the additional state transition lottery, which will be described later, according to the AT mode.

Further, in the present embodiment, the privilege given by the privilege granting lottery is that the stop switch 50 is operated in a predetermined operation mode (such as the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop) by the combination lottery. In this case, when the player wins the push order combination, which is the combination in which the player is given a medal as the maximum game value, the operation mode is notified.
Here, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 to be notified is not limited to the push order and the operation timing of the first stop, and may be only the push order or the operation timing of the first stop.

By operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified operation mode, the player establishes a winning combination of 15 medals (AT_1 to AT56) (see FIG. 9) in which the largest medal is paid out. (Prize).
For example, when the winning combination group "ATLC1" is won and the privilege granting lottery is won in the game, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop, which are the correct operation modes, are notified, and the notification is notified. By following the rules, "15 AT (LCR1)" (see FIG. 13) among the roles included in the winning combination group "ATLC1" is established (winning), and 15 medals are paid out.

Further, as described above, since the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery differs depending on the stage, it can be said that the stage is composed of a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different.
That is, when the stop switch 50 is operated in a predetermined operation mode (such as the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop) by the winning combination lottery, the medal is given to the player as the maximum gaming value. If the operation mode is to be notified when the push order combination, which is the assigned combination, is won, the higher the winning probability of the privilege granting lottery, the larger the number of medals to be paid out to the player. As a result, it can be said that the stage of the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is the stage of the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery corresponding to the net increase in the number of medals that the player can obtain.

Therefore, for example, in stage 1, the net increase number is "2 cards / game (G)" (net increase number per 1G is 2 sheets), and in stage 2, the net increase number is "3 cards / game (G)", stage 3 The net increase is "4 / game (G)", the net increase is "5 / game (G)" in stage 4, and the net increase is "8 / game (G)" in stage 5. The lottery probability of the privilege grant lottery is set in.
Further, it can be said that the promotion lottery described above is a lottery as to whether or not the stage of the net increase in the number of sheets that the player can obtain is promoted.

In addition, the privilege is that when the stop switch 50 is operated in a predetermined operation mode (such as the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop) by the combination lottery, the medal is given to the player as the maximum gaming value. It is not limited to notifying the operation mode when the push order combination, which is the assigned combination, is won.

For example, shifting from the AT normal state to the additional state, which will be described later, to a state advantageous for other players, promoting the lottery probability stage of the privilege granting lottery, and acquiring the additional game section in the AT state. , Etc. may be used.
Further, when the above-mentioned AT mode is provided, the AT mode may be promoted to an advantageous mode.

In addition, the privilege granting means 261 counts the number of times the privilege granting lottery is not won and the number of times the combination lottery result is a specific result, for example, the number of times the winning combination group "HZ" is won, and the count value is predetermined. When the number of times, for example, 5 times, is reached, the privilege can be given.
In order to count the number of times, although not shown, it is equipped with a privilege grant counter, and the initial value "5" is set as the predetermined number of times, and every time the privilege grant lottery is lost or the result of the role lottery is "HZ". "1" is subtracted each time, and when it becomes "0", it is determined that the privilege is granted as if the predetermined number of times has been reached.

That is, the privilege when the counted value reaches the predetermined number of times is given without going through the privilege granting lottery.
In addition, the privilege when the count value reaches a predetermined number of times is not limited to the case where the privilege is given without going through the privilege grant lottery, and the privilege is given by passing the privilege grant lottery that always wins (winning probability 100%). May be given.

In addition, the counted value will not be updated if the privilege grant lottery is won.
That is, when the privilege is granted by winning the privilege grant lottery, the count value of the privilege grant counter is not updated (subtracted) and is maintained.
Therefore, the privilege is granted while the count value of the privilege grant counter is maintained.

Further, when the counted value reaches a predetermined number of times, the counted value is reset after the privilege is given after the next game of the game that has reached the predetermined number of times.
That is, after the privilege is granted, the privilege is granted when the predetermined number of times is reached again.
With this configuration, if the prize granting lottery is lost or the result of the role lottery is "HZ", that is, the game in which the number of medals possessed by the player is reduced reaches a predetermined number of times, the privilege is given. It can be granted.

Further, the counted value counted in the AT state is reset when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied without satisfying the predetermined condition for shifting to the ending state in the AT state, and the AT state is changed to the ending state. In the case of transition, the count value at the time of transition is inherited as it is in the ending state.
That is, when a predetermined condition for shifting to the ending state in the AT state is satisfied, the count value of the AT state at the time of transition to the ending state is inherited to the ending state as it is, and the inherited count value is inherited in the ending state. Counting starts from.

In the present embodiment, "one" privilege grant counter is provided, and the result of the privilege grant lottery and the result of the role lottery are counted by a common privilege grant counter, but the benefit granting is not limited to this. A plurality of counters may be provided.
For example, a first privilege grant counter that counts up according to the result of the privilege grant lottery and a second privilege grant counter that counts up according to the result of the combination lottery (HZ) are provided. It may be determined whether or not the total of the counters has reached the predetermined value (5), and the privilege may be given.

Further, although the privilege giving means 261 will be described later with reference to FIG. 22, the effect control means 320 causes the liquid crystal display device 84 to display the same number of notification images as the predetermined number of times, and updates each time the count value is updated. The number of notification images is displayed so as to change.

In addition, the lottery probability of the privilege grant lottery is higher than the expected value that the privilege is granted when the count value reaches a predetermined number of times, the expected value that the privilege is granted by winning the privilege grant lottery. It is set to be.
That is, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery, the probability of the winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2" which is the pushing order, the probability of "HZ", and the "predetermined number of times" are adjusted, and the count value is ". It is set so that the award-giving lottery can be won before reaching the "predetermined number of times" (for example, 5 times).

In addition, the operation mode in which the privilege to be given when the count value of the number of times the prize is not won and the number of times the result of the combination lottery is a specific result reaches a predetermined number of times is determined in advance by the combination lottery. When the player wins the push order role, which is the role in which a medal is given to the player as the maximum game value when the stop switch 50 is operated by (the push order of the stop switch 50, the operation timing of the first stop, etc.). If it is decided to notify the operation mode to the player, the privilege will be a predetermined operation mode when the push order combination is won in the combination lottery after the next game of the game in which the count value reaches a predetermined number of times. It is to notify.

Here, the "predetermined number of times" is not limited to five times, and may be another number of times, or may be a number of times determined by a predetermined number of times lottery. Further, when the above-mentioned AT mode is provided, a large number of times or a small number of times may be set depending on the AT mode.
Further, the result of the winning combination lottery is not limited to a specific result, for example, winning of the winning combination group "HZ" which is a predetermined combination, but the number of bets is larger than the number of bets (for example, 3). If the winning combination is a payout, it is desirable that the number of winnings is not counted.
For example, when the winning combination group of the replay combination (see FIG. 12) is won, the number of winnings is not counted (the value of the privilege grant counter is not updated).

Further, the result of the combination lottery is not limited to a specific result, that is, counting the number of times a predetermined combination is won, and the number of times a predetermined combination is established (winning) as a result of the combination lottery is counted. You may do so.

Further, in the present embodiment, the privilege granting counter is subtracted when the privilege granting lottery when the push order combination is won is not won and the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is not notified as a privilege.
If the operation mode is not notified, in many cases, the push order does not match and the maximum number of medals cannot be obtained. Therefore, the above may be performed, but even if the operation mode is not notified, luckily. There may be a case where the maximum number of medals can be obtained by guessing the operation mode by oneself. In such a case, the situation is the same as when the operation mode is notified (the privilege is acquired). Further, when the privilege granting counter is subtracted, it is more advantageous for the player. Therefore, the operation mode is notified. Even if it is not done, it is preferable to avoid subtraction of the privilege grant counter.
In other words, the privilege grant counter may be updated with reference to the stop roll.

(Transmission means 270)
The transmission means 270 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control board 300.

(Sub-control board 300)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control board 300 has each means of the receiving means 310 and the effect controlling means 320. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the sub control board 300 receives a signal from the main control board 200 and performs an effect as the game progresses.
Specifically, the sub-control board 300 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. An image that outputs data that defines the sound to be output to the sound output circuit (not shown) for output, or outputs to the liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the liquid crystal display device 84. Outputs data that defines the data.

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving means 310 receives a signal from the transmitting means 270.

(Direction control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effect of the gaming machine 10 according to the gaming state shown in FIG. 16 and the state of the advantageous section shown in FIG.

Further, when the effect control means 320 receives a command from the main control board 200 to notify the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop during the advantageous section, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the first stop switch 50 are received. It is possible to execute an effect of notifying the stop operation timing.

Specifically, a plurality of images or videos (for example, "for example," By displaying "1", "2", "3"), the pressing order is notified, and an image or video (for example, "1") indicating the operation timing is displayed on the image or video (for example, "1") indicating the pressing order of the first stop. The operation timing is notified by displaying "Red Seven" or "Blue Seven"). Further, instead of the image or video showing the pressing order of the first stop (for example, "1") on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 84 corresponding to the position of each stop switch 50, the image or video showing the operation timing (for example, "Red Seven"). ] And "Blue Seven") may be displayed. After that, each time the stop switch 50 is operated, the part corresponding to the position of the operated stop switch 50 is erased (or changed to an image showing no order) in the image or video showing the pressing order.

Further, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 22, the effect control means 320 is the number of times that the privilege granting lottery counted by the privilege granting means 261 is not won and the number of times that the result of the combination lottery is a specific result. It is possible to perform an effect of notifying the count value.

(Explanation of the game state using FIG. 16)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The game state is managed by the main control board 200, and as shown in FIG. 16, the game state is roughly classified into a normal game state, a bonus internal medium state, and a bonus game state.

(Normal game state)
The normal game state (RT0) is controlled by the normal game state control means 251.
The probability of winning the replay combination in the normal game state is set higher than the 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 is changed to the bonus internal medium state and stopped. 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 gaming state, the winning combination groups "RBB1" to "RBB6" (not shown) of the bonus transfer combination are won, and the bonus transfer combination " The transition is made when the symbol combination corresponding to "RBB1" to "RBB6" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.

Specifically, if you win the winning combination group "RBB1", you will get "RBB1F (RT1)", if you win "RBB2", you will get "RBB2F (RT1)", and if you win "RBB3", you will get "RBB3F". (RT1) "," RBB4F (RT1) "if you win" RBB4 "," RBB5F (RT2) "if you win" RBB5 "," RBB6F (RT2) "if you win" RBB6 " ) ”, Respectively.
The probability of winning the replay combination in the bonus internal medium state is set to normal (1 / 7.3).

In addition, a plurality of bonus internal medium states are provided corresponding to each of the plurality of bonus game states.
Specifically, it is possible to shift from the bonus game state "RBB1F (RT1)" to the bonus game state "RBB1", and from the bonus game state "RBB2F (RT1)" to the bonus game state "RBB2". , The bonus game state "RBB3F (RT1)" can be transferred to the bonus game state "RBB3", and the bonus game state "RBB4F (RT1)" can be transferred to the bonus game state "RBB4". From "RBB5F (RT2)", it is possible to shift to the bonus game state "RBB5", and from the bonus game state "RBB6F (RT2)", it is possible to shift to the bonus game state "RBB6".

In addition, in the bonus internal state, when the result of the combination lottery is "missing", the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination can be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86, and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is effective. When it is stopped and displayed on line 86, it is set to shift to the corresponding bonus game state.
This is because, when other duplicate winning modes are won, the reel control means 220 gives priority to small winning combination and replay over the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combinations "RBB1" to "RBB6". (So-called small combination priority control, replay priority control), so that the symbol combinations of the bonus transfer combinations "RBB1" to "RBB6" are not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.

Therefore, the higher the winning probability of "loss" in the bonus internal medium state, the easier it is to shift from the bonus internal medium state to the bonus game state.
For this reason, depending on the winning probability of "loss" in the bonus internal medium state, the game property of allowing the player to stay in the bonus internal medium state for a long period of time and play a game such as the AT state in the bonus internal medium state, and the bonus internal medium state as soon as possible. It is also possible to realize a game property that gives an opportunity to shift to a bonus gaming state from the above and to another bonus internal medium state.

Even if it is set so that the player does not win the bonus transfer role by operating the stop switch 50 by creating a position in which the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role on the rotary reel 62 cannot be pulled in. good.
By doing so, when the bonus internal state during stay is more advantageous than other bonus internal medium states (for example, when staying at "RBB6F"), the player is inside the bonus during stay. If you wish to continue the state, you can continue the state inside the bonus by removing the prize of the bonus transfer role.

In addition, by arranging the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination on the rotary reel 62 at a position where it can be pulled in (such as by arranging it at intervals of 5 frames), the bonus transfer combination is irrespective of the operation mode of the player's stop switch 50. It may be set to win a prize.
Then, after the end of the bonus game state, by giving an opportunity to shift to the bonus internal medium state again, the possibility of shifting to the bonus internal medium state different from the previous time is secured, and the bonus internal medium state is frequently switched. It is possible to create a variety of playability in which the player's advantage changes depending on the internal state of the bonus that shifts.

In addition, the specified number of normal game state and bonus internal medium state is set to 2 or 3, and the bonus transition roles "RBB1" to "RBB6" are set so that they can be won and won in the normal game state with 3 bets. When the number of bets in the bonus internal medium state is 2, the reel control means 220 prevents the corresponding symbol combination from being stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, so that the bonus transfer role does not win and the bonus is given from the bonus internal medium state. It may be set so as not to shift to the game state.
In addition, in the internal bonus state, the winning combination group "Loss" is not subject to the combination lottery when the number of bets is two, so that other winning combination groups are always elected, which is a bonus. The transitional role may not be awarded.

In addition, in the internal bonus state, regardless of the number of bets, the winning combination group "Loss" is not subject to the combination lottery, so that other winning combination groups are always elected. The bonus transfer role may not be won.
In this case, since the reel control means 220 performs the pull-in control with priority given to the small winning combination and the replay rather than the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combinations "RBB1" to "RBB6" (so-called small winning combination priority control, (Replay priority control), the symbol combination of the bonus transfer roles "RBB1" to "RBB6" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86, so once the bonus internal medium state is entered, it shifts to another game state. You may set it so that it does not happen.

(Bonus game state)
The bonus game state is controlled by the bonus game state control means 253, and in the present embodiment, the winning combination groups "RBB1" to "RBB6" (not shown) of the bonus transfer combination are won, and the bonus transfer combination "RBB1" is won. When the symbol combination corresponding to "RBB6" is stopped and displayed on the effective line 86, the transition is made.
The winning probability for the replay combination in the bonus game state is set to "0".

In the present embodiment, the bonus game state is "RBB1" which can be transferred when the winning combination group "RBB1" is won, and "RBB2" and "RBB3" which can be transferred when the winning combination group "RBB2" is won. Transferable in case of "RBB3", transferable when winning "RBB4" Transferable when winning "RBB4", "RBB5" Transferable when winning "RBB5", "RBB6" "RBB6" is provided respectively.

Here, the bonus game states "RBB1" to "RBB4" both end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, 36 or more medals, and the "RBB5" and "RBB6" are paid out of, for example, more than 5 medals. Ends with, but is not limited to this.
Then, after the end of the bonus game state, the game shifts to the normal game state.

(Explanation of advantageous section using FIG. 17)
Next, the effect state will be described with reference to FIG.
The production state is managed by the main control board 200, and as shown in FIG. 17, when roughly classified, the push order combination (pushing order combination) that wins a prize when the stop switch 50 is operated in the pressing order predetermined by the combination lottery. When ATLC1 to ATRC2) are won, it is possible to shift from the "non-advantageous section" and the "non-advantageous section" in which the push order and the operation timing of the first stop cannot be notified to the player. When the push order (ATLC1 to ATRC2), which is a prize when the stop switch 50 is operated in the specified push order and the first stop at the predetermined operation timing, is won, the push order and the first stop are changed. There is an "advantageous section" in which the operation timing can be notified to the player.

The "non-advantageous section" is a section excluding the "advantageous section".
From the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section", in the present embodiment, when a predetermined combination (advantageous section transition trigger) is won by a combination lottery, the "non-advantageous section" is changed to the "advantageous section". The advantageous section transition lottery is held, and the transition is made by winning the advantageous section transition lottery.

Here, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the advantageous section transition lottery is set to a high probability, for example, 100%, and is set to shift to the advantageous section in several games of the non-advantageous section.
The winning probability of the advantageous section transition lottery is not limited to 100%, and the winning probability may be set to differ depending on the winning combination in the winning combination lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, the section notification lamp 90 is set to light up at the time of transition to the advantageous section.

In addition, the non-advantageous section shifts to the non-advantageous section when the set value setting change state is shifted to by the set value setting means 211, that is, when the set value is changed and when the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In some cases, it is in a state of staying at.

(Advantageous section)
The "advantageous section" is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the "non-advantageous section", and includes an "advantageous section normal state", an "assist time state (AT state)", and an "ending state".

Further, the state of the advantageous section is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and other states may be provided. For example, a precursory state in which a precursory effect suggesting a transition to the AT state is executed, a chance zone state (CZ state) in which the transition to the AT state can be performed with a high probability, and whether or not to shift to the AT state after the end of the AT state and return to the AT state. This is the pullback state in which the pullback lottery is performed.

Here, the section advantageous to the player is, for example, in the non-advantageous section, when the stop switch 50 is operated in a predetermined push order by a combination lottery and at a predetermined operation timing for the first stop. Even if the winning push order (ATLC1 to ATRC2) is won, the push order and the operation timing of the first stop cannot be notified to the player. This is an advantageous section for the player because the AT state, which is not executed in the non-advantageous section, is executed.
Therefore, it is not necessary for the player to be advantageous throughout the "advantageous section", and it may not be advantageous for the player in a part of the "advantageous section".

Further, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, the upper limit of the game section in which the advantageous section can be played, in the present embodiment, the upper limit of the advantageous section when a predetermined upper limit number of games, for example, 1500 games is exhausted. Assuming that the number of games has been reached, the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section is made.
Therefore, the main control board 200 is provided with an upper limit number of games counter (not shown), and in order to determine whether or not a predetermined upper limit number of games (1500 games) is reached, the number of digested games after shifting to the advantageous section is determined. I'm counting.

In addition, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, even before the predetermined maximum number of games (1500 games) is exhausted (before reaching the maximum number of games in the advantageous section), the medals inserted in the advantageous section When the difference number, which is the difference between the number of medals and the number of medals paid out, reaches a predetermined number (for example, 2400) (upper limit difference number), it is before the upper limit number of games is exhausted. However, we are trying to shift from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section.
Here, the difference in the number of medals, which is the difference between the number of medals inserted in the advantageous section and the number of medals paid out, is, for example, the state where the number of medals is the smallest in the advantageous section and the state where the number of medals is the largest in the advantageous section. The number obtained by the difference, so-called MY.
Therefore, in the main control board 200, in order to determine whether or not the difference number of sheets (so-called MY2400 sheets) of a predetermined number is reached, the number of input sheets and the number of payout sheets after shifting to the advantageous section are counted.

(Advantageous section normal state)
The advantageous section normal state is an example of the first state, and is a state excluding a special state such as the “AT state” in the “advantageous section”.

The advantageous section normal state is a state in which the non-advantageous section normal state of the non-advantageous section is continued, and the effect control means 320 performs the same effect as the non-advantageous section normal state.

Advantageous section In the normal state, when the result of the combination lottery is the winning of a predetermined combination, the AT transition lottery for whether or not to shift to the AT state is performed, and when the AT transition lottery is won, the AT Move to the state.

(AT state)
The "AT state" is an example of the second state, and is a state more advantageous to the player than the advantageous section normal state.
When the player shifts to the "AT state", the push order of the winning combination and the operation timing of the first stop are notified (navigation) as a notification effect for assisting the winning of a predetermined combination during the predetermined game section. The game (AT) to be played is started, and by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified push order and the operation timing of the first stop, the combination of the symbols of the winning small winning combination and the re-game winning combination can be stopped and displayed. can. Therefore, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small winning combination are paid out.

The "AT state" is a state in which the transition is made by winning the above-mentioned AT transition lottery.
Further, in the "AT state", the number of digested games in the advantageous section normal state where counting is started after the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section reaches the above-mentioned number of ceiling games (777 games, etc.) (so-called ceiling). ) Is also used.
Then, after the end of the "AT state", the non-advantageous section shifts to the normal state.
In addition, the transition to the ending state is performed by satisfying the conditions for transition to the ending state during the AT state.

In the "AT state", as described above, when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is a predetermined result, for example, the winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2" (AT combination) (see FIG. 13), the AT A privilege granting lottery is performed with a lottery probability according to the stage of the game in which the winning combination is won, and when the privilege granting lottery is won, the privilege can be granted.

Here, as shown in FIG. 18, the "stage" is composed of a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different because the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is different. Then, stages 1 to 5 are provided.

For example, as described above, when the stage is set corresponding to the net increase number (sheets / G) of a plurality of types (5 types) set in the AT normal state, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery corresponding to each stage is , The probability that the net increase number corresponding to that stage can be obtained is set. Specifically, when the net increase number = N1 (sheets / G) corresponds to stage 1, when the net increase number in the AT normal state is set to N1, during that time, the "stage 1" corresponds to "stage 1". The privilege granting lottery is executed with a probability of "28%", and the privilege is granted so that the net increase number = N1 can be obtained. Further, when the net increase number = N3 (sheets / G) and the stage 3 correspond, when the net increase number in the AT normal state is set to N3, during that time, "56%" corresponding to the "stage 3". The privilege grant lottery is executed with the probability of, and the privilege is granted so that the net increase number = N3 can be obtained.

In the "AT state", as described above, a promotion lottery is performed as to whether or not to promote the lottery probability stage of the privilege granting lottery at a predetermined opportunity (also referred to as "promotion opportunity").
Here, as a predetermined opportunity (promotion opportunity), there is a case where a predetermined combination, for example, a winning combination group "BERP1" or "BERP2" is won by a combination lottery.
The demotion is not limited to promotion, and a demotion lottery for whether or not to demote may be executed.

In addition, the winning probability of the promotion lottery is set higher for the lower stage and lower for the higher stage (for example, the winning probability from stage 1 to stage 2 is the highest, and the winning from stage 4 to stage 5 is set. The probability is the lowest), but it is not limited to this, and conversely, the lower the stage is lower, the higher the stage is the higher, and the lottery for promotion to any stage may be set. You may draw lots with the same winning probability.

In addition, if it is decided to be promoted by the stage promotion lottery, it is promoted by one stage, but it is not limited to this, and the stage to be promoted, for example, one stage promotion, two stage promotion, three stage promotion, 4 The stage to be promoted by lottery may be determined by lottery from the stage promotion.

Further, in the "AT state", an additional lottery is performed in which whether or not to add the game section in the AT state is determined by a lottery, and the additional state is obtained in the additional state than in the AT normal state described later. It is set easily. That is, in the additional state, the winning probability of the additional lottery is set higher than that in the AT normal state, and the game section having many additional game sections that can be won is targeted for the lottery.

In the present embodiment, the "AT state" includes an "AT normal state" and an "additional state".
The state provided by the "AT state" is not limited to the above-mentioned state, and other states may be provided. Further, the ending state may be included in the AT state.

(AT normal state)
The "AT normal state" is a state excluding a special state such as an "additional state" in the "AT state".
In the AT normal state, a lottery for transition to the additional state (additional transition lottery) is performed at a predetermined opportunity, and by winning the additional transition lottery, the transition to the additional state is performed.

(Additional state)
The additional state is a state in which the additional lottery, which is more advantageous than the AT normal state, is executed during the predetermined game section, as described above.
The additional lottery may be performed only in the additional state and may not be performed in the AT normal state.

(Ending state)
The ending state is an example of the third state, and is a state in which the game shifts when the transition condition to the ending state is satisfied during the AT state, and the predetermined maximum number of games (1500 games) and the maximum difference number (1500 games) in the advantageous section ( It continues until it reaches MY2400), and the advantageous section is in a state of notifying information about the end, and an effect suggesting that the advantageous section ends is executed. Then, when the maximum number of games and the maximum difference number are reached, the section shifts to the non-advantageous section.

Here, as a predetermined condition for shifting to the ending state (also referred to as "ending transition condition"), for example, the number of digested games after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is the upper limit number of games (1500) in the advantageous section. The upper limit of the advantageous section is the number of games that reach a predetermined number within the game), for example, 1300 games, or the difference between the number of game media introduced in the advantageous section and the number of game media paid out. A predetermined number of sheets within the difference number (MY2400), for example, 2000 sheets is reached.
The predetermined conditions for shifting to the ending state are not limited to such cases, and for example, the conditions may be determined by lottery.

In the ending state, the privilege granting lottery is performed with the lottery probability according to the stage in the AT state that was executed before the transition to the ending state.
That is, in the ending state, the stage in the AT state that was executed before the transition to the ending state is taken over, and in the ending state, the promotion lottery for whether or not to promote the stage to another stage is taken over. It is not removed and does not fluctuate.

For example, in the AT normal state in which a predetermined condition for shifting to the ending state is satisfied, the lottery probability of the privilege grant lottery is set to "56%" corresponding to the stage "3", and the count value is set to "2". If so, if the game shifts to the ending state from the next game of the game, the lottery probability of the privilege granting lottery is set to "56%" corresponding to the stage "3" in the starting game of the ending state, and the total The numerical value will be set to "2".
In the AT normal state in which the predetermined conditions for shifting to the ending state are satisfied, the promotion lottery related to the lottery probability stage of the privilege granting lottery may be executed when the predetermined promotion opportunity is satisfied. Even if a predetermined promotion opportunity is established, the promotion lottery may not be executed. Then, in the former case, when the promotion lottery is won, the lottery probability of the promoted privilege grant lottery (in the above example, "69%" corresponding to the stage "4") is set when the ending state is entered. It may be set, or the result of the promotion lottery may be discarded (in the above example, "56%" corresponding to the stage "3") may be set.

In addition, the number of times the bonus grant lottery that was counted in the AT state before the transition to the ending state was not won and the number of times the result of the role lottery resulted in a specific result were taken over by taking over the counted value. Counting starts from the counting value.

The ending state is not limited to the case where the ending state is continued until the predetermined maximum number of games or the maximum difference number is reached, and the number of games is continued for a predetermined number of games or a number of games determined by lottery. It may be possible to shift to a non-advantageous section by digesting.

Further, as for the ending state, as in the AT state, a promotion lottery that can promote the lottery probability stage of the privilege granting lottery to another stage may be performed.

(Example of flow of privilege grant)
Next, an example of the flow of granting benefits will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 21.
FIG. 19 shows an example in which the push order combination (winning combination group “ATLC1 to ATRC2” (see FIG. 13)) is not won.

First, at the start of the AT state, "5" is set in the privilege grant counter as an initial value.
Then, when the result of the winning combination lottery for the Nth game in the AT state is the winning combination group "HZ" (see FIG. 12), the value of the privilege grant counter is subtracted from "5" by "1", and "4". "become.

If the result of the winning combination lottery for the next N + 1 game in the AT state is the winning combination group "RPSVN1" (see FIG. 12), the value of the privilege grant counter is not updated and "4" is maintained.
If the result of the winning combination lottery for the next N + 2 game in the AT state is the winning combination group "SP2" (see FIG. 13), the value of the privilege grant counter is not updated and "4" is maintained.
If the result of the winning combination lottery for the next N + 3 game in the AT state is the winning combination group "HZ" (see FIG. 12), the value of the privilege grant counter is subtracted from "4" by "1", and "3". "become.

FIG. 20 is an example of winning a push order combination (winning combination group “ATLC1 to ATRC2” (see FIG. 13)).
First, at the start of the AT state, "5" is set in the privilege grant counter as an initial value.
Then, when the result of the winning combination lottery for the Nth game in the AT state is the winning combination group "HZ" (see FIG. 12), the value of the privilege grant counter is subtracted from "5" by "1", and "4". "become.

If the result of the winning combination lottery for the next N + 1 game in the AT state is a winning combination (winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2") (see FIG. 13), a privilege granting lottery is performed and the privilege granting lottery is performed. If the game is won, the operation mode is notified as a privilege, the value of the privilege grant counter is not updated, and "4" is maintained.

FIG. 21 is an example in which a privilege is granted when the value of the privilege grant counter becomes “0”.
First, at the start of the AT state, "5" is set in the privilege grant counter as an initial value.
Then, the case where the value of the privilege granting counter is subtracted to "2" at the time of the M game in the AT state will be described as an example.
If the result of the winning combination lottery for the M game in the AT state is the winning combination group "HZ" (see FIG. 12), the value of the privilege grant counter is subtracted from "2" by "1" to "1". Become.

If the result of the winning combination lottery for the next M + 1 game in the AT state is a winning combination (winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2") (see FIG. 13), a privilege granting lottery is performed and the privilege granting lottery is performed. If the prize is not won, the notification of the operation mode as a privilege is not executed, and the value of the privilege grant counter is subtracted from "2" by "1" to become "0".
Since the value of the privilege grant counter has reached "0", when the push order is won in the game after the game (M + 1), the notification of the operation mode is executed as a privilege without going through the privilege grant lottery. It becomes.

If the result of the winning combination lottery for the next M + 2 game in the AT state is the winning combination group "HZ" (see FIG. 12), the value of the privilege grant counter is "0", and there is room for subtracting "1". Since there is no such thing, "0" is maintained.

If the result of the role lottery for the next M + 3 game in the AT state is a winning combination (winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2") (see Fig. 13), it is operated as a privilege without going through the privilege grant lottery. The mode notification is executed.
Then, after the privilege is granted, the value of the privilege grant counter is reset and "5" is set as the initial value.

(Example of notification of counted value)
An example of notifying the count value of the number of times that the privilege granting lottery is not won and the number of times that the result of the winning combination lottery becomes a specific result (winning of the winning combination group "HZ") will be described with reference to FIG. 22.

Specifically, the liquid crystal display device 84 is displayed with the same number of notification images G as the predetermined number of times the privilege is given, and the updated number of notification images G is changed each time the count value is updated.
Here, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), five white circles are displayed at the lower right of the liquid crystal display device 84 as the same number of notification images G as the predetermined number of times.

Then, when the count value is updated, that is, when the privilege grant lottery is not won or the result of the combination lottery is a specific result, as shown in FIG. 22B, one notification image G is provided. Change, for example, from a white circle to a black circle.
Further, as the count value is updated, the number of changes in the notification image G increases as shown in FIG. 22 (C).

Then, when the count value becomes "5", all the notification images G change from the white circles to the black circles, and it is notified that the privilege can be given.
When the first push order combination is won after all the notification images G have changed, the operation mode of the push order combination is notified as a privilege. Then, after the privilege is given, the count value is reset and the state returns to the state shown in FIG. 22 (A).

Here, the timing at which the notification image G changes is the so-called third stop timing of the stop switch 50, but is not limited to this, and is limited to the timing of the start switch 40 operation, the first stop, the second stop, and the like. There may be.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, when the push order combination is won in a state where all the white circle notification images (5 images) are black circles, the operation mode of the push order combination is notified. Here, the "state in which all the notification images are black circles" corresponds to a state in which the value (counting value) of the privilege granting counter is "0". On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the value of the privilege grant counter is not "0", by winning the privilege grant lottery, the operation mode of the push order combination is notified. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 22B, the operation mode of the push order combination may be notified in the state of the notification image of one black circle and four white circles.

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 23)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 23, a general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described.

In step S10, the main control board 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 main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. 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 is set as the bet number. Specifically, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets for the game has reached the specified 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 board 200 to the sub control board 300. 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 by the main control board 200, the reel control means 220 causes each rotary reel 62 to operate. The rotation is stopped. 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 on the main control board 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 transmission means 270 of the main control board 200 to the reception means 310 of the sub control board 300. 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 determining means 230 performs a determination process such as winning a prize whether or not the combination of the symbols 61 having a predetermined combination is aligned with the combination of the 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 board 200 to the sub control board 300. Then, when the determination process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

In step S14, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process or the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. If the determination result shows that the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Explanation of flow of privilege grant using FIG. 24)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 24, a general privilege granting process executed by the privilege granting means 261 will be described.
First, in step S20, the initial value "5" is set in the privilege grant counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S21.

In step S21, as a result of the winning combination lottery process performed in step S11 of FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not the pushing order combination (winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2") has been won. If it is determined that the push order is won, the process proceeds to the next step S22.

In step S22, the privilege granting lottery is performed with the lottery probability (see FIG. 18) according to the stage during the stay. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S23.

In step S23, it is determined whether or not the privilege grant lottery performed in step S22 has been won. If it is not determined that the award grant lottery has been won, the process proceeds to step S26 described later, and if it is determined that the award grant lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S24.
In step S24, as a privilege, the notification of the operation mode of the push order winning combination is executed. Then, the process returns to step S21.

If it is not determined in step S21 described above that the push order combination has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S25, and in step S25, it is determined whether or not the winning combination group "HZ" has been won. If it is not determined that the winning combination group "HZ" has been won, the process returns to step S21 described above, and if it is determined that the winning combination group "HZ" has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S26.

In step S26, "1" is subtracted from the value of the privilege grant counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S27. If it is determined in steps S21 and S25 that neither the push order winning nor the "HZ" is won, for example, the replay winning combination (winning combination groups "RPSVN1", "CHBE", etc., see FIG. 12). If the prize is won, the value of the privilege grant counter is not updated (subtracted) and is maintained.

In step S27, it is determined whether or not the value of the privilege grant counter is “0”. If it is not determined that the value of the privilege granting counter is "0", the process returns to step S21 described above, and if it is determined that the value of the privilege granting counter is "0", the process proceeds to the next step S28.

In step S28, as a result of the winning combination lottery process performed in step S11 of FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not the pushing order combination (winning combination group "ATLC1 to ATRC2") has been won. If it is determined that the push order is won, the process proceeds to the next step S29.

In step S29, as a privilege, the notification of the operation mode of the push order winning combination is executed. That is, in the game following the game in which the value of the privilege granting counter becomes "0", the privilege is granted when the push order combination is won. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S30.

In step S30, the value of the privilege grant counter is reset (returns to the initial value "5"). Then, the process returns to step S20 described above, and the initial value “5” is set again.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
