Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine in which the maximum number of games that can be played is set and a predetermined addition is obtained, and as a result, the maximum number of games is determined to be reached (see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2017-113397

However, in the above-mentioned gaming machine of Patent Document 1, it is not determined that the maximum number of games is reached before it is determined that the maximum number of games is reached by the addition, and the maximum number of games is reached by the addition. It was not possible to play up to the maximum number of games before it was confirmed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of playing up to the upper limit gaming section before it is determined that the upper limit gaming section is reached by addition.

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.
The gaming machine (10) according to the present invention includes a non-advantageous section and an advantageous section in which an upper limit gaming section, which is an upper limit of the gameable gaming section, is defined, and the advantageous section is assigned to the player. It has a predetermined state composed of a plurality of stages having different expected values of the gaming value, and the plurality of stages are set so as to be able to be promoted to another stage having a high expected value during the predetermined state. The game section in which a predetermined state can be played is set so as to be able to be added, an additional lottery for determining the additional game section to be added is executed, and the additional game section determined by the additional lottery is among the plurality of stages. If it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, which is the upper limit of the game section that can be added, which is determined by referring to the promotionable stage, it is decided to perform the addition, and if it is not within the range, a limiter lottery is further performed. It is characterized in that it is determined to add the additional game section by executing and winning the limiter lottery, and the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section.

As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing up to the upper limit gaming section before it is determined that the upper limit gaming section is reached by the addition.
In addition, the addition of the game section is made possible within the range of the maximum game section that can be added, which is set within the range of the upper limit game section that can be played, so that the added game cannot be played, which is a waste of addition. It is possible to prevent a decline in the motivation to play without giving a feeling of pulling, and by making it possible to play up to the upper limit game section by further lottery, it is possible to add a player's interest to the game. Machines can be provided.

Here, the above-mentioned "stage" is set for the predetermined state, and it is impossible to shift to the stage where the expected value of the game value decreases during the game section in which the predetermined state can be played. Therefore, it is preferable to have a configuration in which it is possible to shift only to the stage where the expected value for gaming is high. As a result, it is possible to enjoy the change of the stage while eliminating the player's anxiety about the decrease in the expected value. However, not limited to this, it is also possible to move to a stage where the expected value of the game value decreases while the predetermined state continues. In this case, the game value It is possible to give a sense of accomplishment to the transition to the stage where the expected value is high.

Further, the above "stage" can be promoted during the game section in which the "predetermined state" can be played, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other states other than the "predetermined state" can be promoted during the game section in which the game can be played. It may be possible to promote. For example, when the "predetermined state" is the "first AT normal state" in the embodiment, the "second AT normal state" and the "additional specialization zone" that shift from the "first AT normal state" are set as other states. In these states, the condition for promoting the "stage" related to the "first AT normal state" may be satisfied.

Further, as the above-mentioned "predetermined state", for example, a gaming state that is advantageous for the player, such as an AT state or a pseudo-bonus state, which is set as a period (or state) in which the number of balls is increased is preferable.

In addition, the above-mentioned "expected value for game value" is specifically "net increase number per game (generally, net increase number as a gradient value expressed as" OO sheets / G ")". be able to. For example, in the predetermined state in which "8.0 cards / G" is set as the "net increase number of cards per game", it is possible to obtain an increase of 8 medals in each game in the state. The "net increase number" here is, for example, the cumulative number of medals obtained by subtracting the number of medals used for setting the number of bets from the number of payouts given by winning, or is set as, for example, a payout. The total number of medals (expected value) obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals used for setting the number of bets from the number of medals can be used as the cumulative number of medals.

Further, the "promotion stage" is a stage that can be promoted based on the stage set at that time when the addition of the game section is executed. Specifically, when "five stages (first stage to fifth stage)" are provided as the above "plurality of stages", if the stage set at that time is the second stage, the third stage to If it is one of the fifth stages and the stage set at that time is the third stage, it is either the fourth stage or the fifth stage. In this way, when there are multiple stages that can be promoted, it is advisable to refer to the stage with the highest expected value for gaming.
Since the above "promotion possible stage" is "promotion possible", it is a stage different from the current stage set when executing the addition of the game section executed within the range of the upper limit addition section. Therefore, it is a stage of expected value higher than the expected value corresponding to the current stage.

Further, the above-mentioned "game section can be added" means, for example, that when the predetermined state ends based on the "number of games" (game number management), the number of games that can be executed as the predetermined state It is possible to increase. Further, for example, when the predetermined state ends based on the "number of push order navigations" (navigation number management), the number of push order navigations that can be executed in the predetermined state can be increased. , That is. Further, for example, when the predetermined state ends based on the "number of medals to be paid out" (the number of medals to be paid out), the number of medals that can be paid out in the predetermined state can be increased.

Further, in the above-mentioned "decision to add", in addition to extending the game section in which the predetermined state can be played (for example, acquiring the number of additional games and increasing the number of games in the AT state), It also includes shifting from the predetermined state to another gaming state in which the addition can be performed (for example, shifting from the AT normal state to the addition special zone where it is easy to acquire the number of addition games). Then, in the former case, for example, the game section to be extended (for example, the number of additional games) is determined so as to be within the range of the upper limit additional section, and in the latter case, for example, the other state is described. It is determined whether or not the determination value provided corresponding to is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and the transition to the other gaming state is determined.

Further, the above-mentioned "upper limit of the game section that can be added" is, for example, when the maximum number of medals that can be obtained in the predetermined state is determined, even if the game section is added, the final number of medals is finally set. It can be said that it is the upper limit of the game section that can be accommodated within the range not exceeding the maximum number of medals.
Specifically, in a predetermined state in which the maximum number of medals that can be acquired is set to 700, when the addition of "50 games" is executed in the game of the 200th game, the number of acquired medals when 250 games are consumed is ". 686 (maximum number) ”, on the other hand, if the addition of“ 51 games ”is executed in the 200th game, the maximum number of cards obtained when 251 games are exhausted is“ 701 (> maximum number) ”. It can be said that the former "50 games", which does not exceed 700 sheets, is the upper limit of the game section that can be added.

Further, the above-mentioned "plurality of steps" may define a plurality of steps for the predetermined state by the time of the transition to the predetermined state, for example, the timing when the transition to the predetermined state is decided.
For example, from stage group A consisting of 1st stage, 2nd stage, and 3rd stage, stage group B consisting of 2nd stage, 3rd stage, and 4th stage, and from 1st stage, 3rd stage, and 5th stage. When a specific stage group C is provided, and a specific stage group is defined for a predetermined state from the stage groups A, B, and C, the stages included in this specific stage group are "plurality of stages." It corresponds to "stage".
In the above example, when the stage group B is set to a predetermined state, "second stage, third stage, fourth stage" corresponds to "plurality of stages", and "the highest of the plurality of stages". The "stage" becomes the "fourth stage". Further, when the stage group C is set to a predetermined state, "first stage, third stage, fifth stage" corresponds to "plurality of stages", and "the highest stage among the plurality of stages" is It will be the "fifth stage".

Further, the above-mentioned "within the range of the upper limit additional section" may or may not include the case where the same section as the section up to the upper limit game section is determined as the additional game section.
That is, when 50G is determined as the additional game section with 50G up to the upper limit game section, the addition may be executed as it is, or the limiter lottery may be executed.

Further, in the above-mentioned "limiter lottery", by winning the lottery, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section (also referred to as "advantageous section limiter"). It can also be said that "a lottery to decide whether or not to make the advantageous section playable". Further, in a gaming machine provided with a non-advantageous section and an advantageous section, as in the embodiment described later, the advantage section often shifts to the non-advantageous section after passing through a predetermined ending state. , It can be rephrased as a lottery for determining whether or not an advantageous section can be played up to the ending state (ending confirmed lottery).

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention includes a non-advantageous section and an advantageous section in which an upper limit gaming section which is an upper limit of the gameable game section is defined, and the advantageous section is given to the player. A predetermined state composed of a plurality of stages having different expected values for a game is provided, and the plurality of stages are set so as to be promoteable to another stage having a high expected value during the predetermined state. The game section in which the state of the above can be played is set so as to be able to be added, an additional lottery for determining the additional game section to be added is executed, and the additional game section determined by the additional lottery is the said among the plurality of stages. If it is within the range of the upper limit additional section, which is the upper limit of the game section that can be added, which is determined by referring to the stage that can be promoted, it is decided to perform the addition, and if it is not within the range, a limiter lottery is further executed. Then, it is determined that the additional game section is added by winning the limiter lottery, and if the limiter lottery is not won, the additional game section is not added.

As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing up to the upper limit gaming section before it is determined that the upper limit gaming section is reached by the addition.
In addition, the addition of the game section is made possible within the range of the maximum game section that can be added, which is set within the range of the upper limit game section that can be played, so that the added game cannot be played, which is a waste of addition. It is possible to prevent a decline in the motivation to play without giving a feeling of pulling, and by making it possible to play up to the upper limit game section by further lottery, it is possible to add a player's interest to the game. Machines can be provided.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is characterized in that, when the limiter lottery is won, in the additional lottery executed thereafter, the addition is executed even when the upper limit addition section is exceeded.
As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing an advantageous section up to the upper limit gaming section of the advantageous section by acquiring the addition.

That is, by winning the limiter lottery, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit gaming section of the advantageous section, so that the addition can be executed even when the upper limit addition section is exceeded.
Here, even if it is possible to add more than the upper limit addition section, it does not enable the game to exceed the upper limit game section of the advantageous section.

Further, when the gaming machine according to the present invention wins the limiter lottery, it remembers that the limiter lottery has been won, and does not refer to the upper limit additional section in the additional lottery executed thereafter. It is characterized by deciding whether or not to make an addition.
As a result, in the additional lottery, it is possible to omit the process of acquiring various data necessary for calculating the upper limit additional section and the process of calculating the upper limit additional section, and it is possible to experience the processing burden. A game machine can be provided.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention includes a non-advantageous section and an advantageous section in which an upper limit gaming section, which is an upper limit of the gameable gaming section, is defined, and the advantageous section is given to the player. It includes a predetermined state composed of a plurality of stages having different expected values for gaming, and the plurality of stages are set so as to be promoteable to another stage having a high expected value during the predetermined state. The game section in which the state of can be played is set so as to be able to be added, and when the additional lottery for determining the additional game section to be added is executed and the state is changed from the predetermined state to a state other than the predetermined state, the above-mentioned The additional game section determined by the additional lottery refers to the upper limit additional section which is the upper limit of the additional game section determined by referring to the promotionable stage among the plurality of stages, and the upper limit additional section is referred to. If there is no predetermined section, the transition is made only when a predetermined limiter lottery is won.

As a result, if there is no upper limit addition section after shifting to a state other than the predetermined state, the profit of the addition of the game section cannot be sufficiently obtained in the state other than the predetermined state, which causes dissatisfaction of the player. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing this.

Here, when the "state other than the predetermined state" is provided so as to be able to shift from a predetermined state (for example, the first AT normal state) to a specific state (for example, an additional special zone) or a special state (for example, an ending state). , It is not necessary to determine whether or not to shift based on the above upper limit addition section in either the specific state or the special state. That is, it is determined whether or not to shift from the predetermined state to the specific state based on the upper limit addition section, and whether or not to shift from the predetermined state to the special state when other conditions not based on the upper limit addition section are satisfied. You may judge whether or not.

Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, a transition lottery for shifting from the predetermined state to a state other than the predetermined state is performed, and when the transition lottery is won, the upper limit addition section is predetermined. When there is no section, the limiter lottery is performed with a higher probability than the predetermined state.

As a result, when shifting to a predetermined state among a plurality of states, by performing a limiter lottery with a high probability, a gaming machine capable of shifting to a state in which the game can be played up to the upper limit game section is provided. can do.
That is, in a predetermined state among a plurality of states, it is possible to execute an interesting addition without binding of the upper limit addition section.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the advantageous section is further provided with a specific state in which an effect of notifying the end of the advantageous section is executed, and when the limiter lottery is won, the above-mentioned After shifting to the specific state, it is characterized by shifting to the non-advantageous section.

As a result, if the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section, and after the end of the specific state, the advantageous section can be ended and the game can be shifted to the non-advantageous section. Machines can be provided.

Here, when the upper limit game value is determined by lottery, the element that determines the upper limit game value, for example, the AT mode in the embodiment, is determined by lottery instead of drawing the upper limit game value itself. The upper limit game value may be determined by determining the element by lottery.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, an upper limit gaming value, which is an upper limit of the gaming value that can be given in the predetermined state, is set, and the upper limit addition section is at the stage where promotion is possible. It is characterized in that it is determined within the range calculated from the highest stage among them and the upper limit gaming value.

As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of determining the upper limit addition section based on the upper limit gaming value.
That is, it is possible to prevent the gaming value given to the player from being excessive due to exceeding the preset upper limit gaming value.

Further, as a specific example of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the game section is added by the additional lottery in the game in which the special winning combination determined in advance by the winning combination lottery is used to determine the winning or not of the winning combination. However, since the limiter lottery was not won, if the addition is not performed, the notification mode of the stop switch in which the predetermined combination among the combinations included in the special combination is not established is notified. The gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the gaming machine is characterized by the above.

As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing a predetermined symbol from stopping when the addition is not performed.
That is, it is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood that some special benefit can be obtained by stopping the predetermined symbol.
Therefore, it is desirable that the predetermined symbol is a symbol corresponding to a so-called rare role, for example, a watermelon symbol or a cherry symbol.

A plurality of non-advantageous sections and advantageous sections in which an upper limit gaming section, which is the upper limit of playable game sections, is defined, and the expected value of the gaming value given to the player is different in the advantageous sections. A game section having a predetermined state composed of stages and capable of playing the predetermined state is set so that it can be added.
An additional lottery for determining the additional game section to be added is executed, and the predetermined state has an upper limit game value which is an upper limit of the game value that can be given in the predetermined state at the time of transition to the predetermined state. When the additional game section that has been set and determined by the additional lottery is added and the upper limit game value is exceeded, the limiter lottery is executed, and if the limiter lottery is won, the additional game section is added. It is characterized in that the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section, and if the limiter lottery is not won, the additional game section is not added.

As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing up to the upper limit gaming section before it is determined that the upper limit gaming value is reached by the addition.
In addition, by making it possible to add a game section within the range of the upper limit game value, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the motivation to play without giving a sense of wasteful addition that the added game cannot be played. In addition to being able to play games up to the upper limit game section by further lottery, it is possible to provide a game machine capable of adding a player's interest.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the winning combination group including the small combination includes 15 AT combinations (LCR1) (AT_1 to AT_6) (see FIG. 9), DS_21, DS_22, ATLC_1, DS_5, ATLR_17 to ATLR_20, ATCR_1, DS_1, DS_11, ATLR_1 to ATLR_4, ATLR_22, ATLR_5, DS_23, DS_24 win "ATLC1", 15 sheets AT (LCR2) (AT_7 to AT_12) (see FIG. 9), DS_23, DS_24, ATLC_9, DS_6, ATLC_4 , ATLR_7 to ATLR_10, ATCR_2, DS_12, DS_13, ATLR_1 to ATLR_14, ATLR_21, ATLR_15, DS_21, DS_22 "ATLC2", etc. are provided.

Here, the winning combination groups "ATLC1" to "ATRC2" are pressing order combinations in which the winning combination is established (winning) depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 50. As shown in FIG. 15, for example, the winning combination group "ATLC1". Is a push order combination in which one of the "15-sheet AT combination (LCR1)" combination is established (winning) when the push order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop are correct.
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_21, DS_22, ATLC_1, DS_5" included in the winning combination group "ATLC1" 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, "ATLR_17 to ATLR_20, ATCR_1, DS_10, DS_11, ATLR_1 to ATLR_4, ATLR_22, ATLR_5, DS_23," included in the winning combination group "ATLC1". One of the roles of "DS_24" (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. Or.

Here, the correct pressing order of the winning combination group "ATLC1" is "LC" (the first stop is the left stop switch L, the second stop is the middle stop switch C, and the third stop is the right stop switch R). be.

In the present embodiment, for example, the "LC" part of the name "ATLC1" of the winning combination group indicates the order of pressing the correct answers.

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 "ATCL1" is either "15 AT (CLR1)" 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_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. 34) 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. 34) 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. 34), 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 is changed when 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.

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. No.
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 the prize, and it is also possible to prevent the player from noticing the transition to the advantageous section.

When the number of digested games in the advantageous section normal state reaches a predetermined number of games, for example, 777 games, the advantageous section control means 260 shifts to the AT state described later as a privilege (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.
The counter may be updated (subtracted) not only in the number of digested games in the advantageous section normal state but also in other states (precursor state or CZ state) in the advantageous section.

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 shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section.

Further, among the advantageous sections, if a predetermined condition is satisfied after the end of the precursory state, the CZ state, and the pullback state, which will be described later, the advantageous section does not shift to the normal state but shifts to the non-advantageous section.
In addition, it is possible to shift only to the advantageous section normal state without shifting to the non-advantageous section.

Further, the advantageous section control means 260 counts and stores the net increase number of game values given to the player.

Here, the net increase in the game value given to the player is counted from the game value input by the player and the game value given to the player.

That is, in the AT state, the net increase number calculated from the input number and the payout number at the stage described later during execution and the number of digestion games are stored, and the game is currently executed from the net increase number and the number of digestion games. I try to count and memorize the net increase in the number of cards per game at the stage.

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", a "precursor state", a "CZ state", and an "additional state" provided in the advantageous section. , "Net increase number stage determination state", "1st AT normal state", "pull back state", "2nd AT normal state", "additional specialization zone", "ending state" (see Fig. 17), "non-advantageous" "Section", "Advantageous section normal state", "Omen state", "CZ state", "Additional state", "Net increase number stage determination state", "1st AT normal state", "Pull back state", "2nd AT normal state" , "Additional special zone", and "Ending state" are allotted and managed by a predetermined numerical value ($ 01 to $ 0B).

(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.

(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 winning probability of 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.

In addition, even if it is set so that the player does not win the bonus transfer combination by operating the stop switch 50 by creating a position in which the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination 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 transfer 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 effective 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 pull-in control with priority given to small wins and replays rather than symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combinations "RBB1" to "RBB6" (so-called small win 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 is the "advantageous section normal state" and the "precursor state" in which the precursory effect suggesting the transition to the AT state described later is executed. It is provided with a chance zone state "CZ state", an "assist time state (AT state)", and an "ending state" that can be transferred to the AT state described later with a high probability.
In addition to FIG. 17, the relationship between the non-advantageous section and the advantageous normal, precursory state, CZ state, etc. of the advantageous section is shown in FIG. 18 as well as a part of those relationships.

Further, the state of the advantageous section is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and other states may be provided.

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), 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 a state excluding a special state such as an "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 the time of transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section (specifically, the advantageous section normal state), any one of the base navigation scenarios 0 to 9 (see FIG. 19) as the first production scenario described later is the advantageous section control means 260. It is decided by the base navigation scenario lottery by.
Advantageous section In the normal state, as a result of the combination lottery, the replay combination as a specific combination (specifically, the winning combination group "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2") and 5 cards are paid out. The lottery for generating navigation when the AT role (specifically, "ALL3") is won, that is, the lottery for whether or not to notify the operation mode of the so-called stop switch 50 (first navigation execution lottery) is based on the above-mentioned base. It is performed based on the lottery probability set in the base navigation scenario determined by the navigation scenario lottery.
When the first navigation execution lottery is won, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is notified, so-called navigation is performed, and a navigation scenario (see FIG. 20) as the second effect scenario is set.

Further, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG.
In the advantageous section normal state, which shifts after the start of the advantageous section, a base navigation scenario as shown in FIG. 19 is set in order to shift to the precursor state (navigation scenario state).
Advantageous section In the normal state, as will be described later, the push-order navigation occurs once to shift to the precursor state (navigation scenario state). In each base navigation scenario, the probability that push-order navigation will occur in order to shift to the precursory state (navigation scenario state) in the advantageous section normal state is shown at the time of transition (1), ... A plurality of them are defined in the order of (9).

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, when the base navigation scenario 0 (normally 1) shown in FIG. 19 is selected when shifting to the advantageous section, the advantageous section of the first week (first time) is usually selected. In the state, the navigation lottery probability is set to 1/70, and the occurrence of push-order navigation by this lottery probability (appearance rate) 1/70 shifts to the first precursor state (navigation scenario state).
If the lottery probability (appearance rate) 1/70 of the lottery probability (appearance rate) 1/70 in the advantageous section normal state (first lap) does not occur and the push order navigation does not occur, the base navigation scenario does not proceed and the above-mentioned lottery probability (appearance rate) For example, in the case of the above example, the setting of 1/70) is maintained.
That is, during the advantageous section normal state, the base navigation scenario is not updated, and the same lottery probability of the above-mentioned lottery probability (for example, 1/70 in the case of the above-mentioned example) is used. When the precursor state or the CZ state returns to the advantageous section normal state, the base navigation scenario is updated by one, that is, it advances by one. Specifically, in the case of FIG. 21 described above, it is updated from 1/70 to 1/99.
In this first precursor state (navigation scenario state), push-order navigation occurs with a navigation lottery probability based on the navigation scenario shown in FIG. 20 instead of the base navigation scenario, which fuels expectations for the CZ state. At this time, in the precursor state (navigation scenario state), the set navigation scenario is advanced and the navigation lottery probability is switched each time the push order navigation occurs. For example, when the navigation scenario 0 shown in FIG. 20 is selected, the navigation lottery probability changes from 1/32 to 1/32 to 1/25. Then, if the CZ state cannot be obtained even after completing the first precursor state (navigation scenario state), the vehicle will return to the advantageous section normal state in the second week (second time). In this second advantageous section normal state, the navigation lottery probability of the base navigation scenario 0 (normally 1) selected in the first time is advanced by one, and 1/99 is set as the navigation lottery probability. Then, when push-order navigation occurs with this navigation lottery probability (appearance rate), it shifts to the second precursor state (navigation scenario state).

In this second precursor state (navigation scenario state), push-order navigation occurs with a navigation lottery probability based on the navigation scenario shown in FIG. 20, and the expectation for the CZ state is fueled. At this time, in the precursor state (navigation scenario state), the set navigation scenario is advanced and the navigation lottery probability is switched each time the push order navigation occurs. For example, when the navigation scenario 4 is selected as shown in FIG. 20 when shifting to the second precursor state (navigation scenario state), the navigation lottery probability changes from 1/25 → 1/25 → 1/20. Will be done. If the CZ state cannot be obtained even after completing the second precursor state (navigation scenario state), the vehicle will return to the normal state of the advantageous section on the third lap (third time). In this advantageous section normal state of the third lap (third time), the navigation lottery probability of the base navigation scenario 0 (normally 1) selected in the first time is further advanced by one, and the navigation lottery probability is set to 1/70. Will be done. Then, when push-order navigation occurs with this navigation lottery probability (appearance rate), it shifts to the third precursor state (navigation scenario state).

In this third precursor state (navigation scenario state), push-order navigation occurs with a navigation lottery probability based on the navigation scenario shown in FIG. 20, and the expectation for the CZ state is fueled. At this time, in the precursor state (navigation scenario state), the set navigation scenario is advanced and the navigation lottery probability is switched each time the push order navigation occurs. For example, when the navigation scenario 2 is selected as shown in FIG. 20 when shifting to the third precursor state (navigation scenario state), the navigation lottery probability changes from 1/32 to 1/32 to 1/20. Will be done. Further, if the CZ state cannot be obtained even after completing the third precursor state (navigation scenario state), the vehicle returns to the advantageous section normal state (not shown) on the fourth lap (fourth time). In addition, the game is advanced by the same determination process as described above. If the CZ state can be acquired in the precursory state, the process proceeds to the CZ state.

(Omen state)
The precursor state (navigation scenario state) is a state that shifts due to the occurrence of push-order navigation in the advantageous section normal state, and there is a feeling of expectation that it may shift to an advantageous state such as the CZ state or the subsequent AT state. It is in a state that can be given to the player.

In the present embodiment, when the push order navigation occurs once in the advantageous section normal state, the state shifts to the precursor state (navigation scenario state), and at that time, a plurality of types (10 types, navigation scenario 0) as shown in FIG. 20 A specific navigation scenario is set from 9). In each navigation scenario, as shown in FIG. 20, a plurality (10) of the probabilities that push-order navigation occurs in each game are determined in order.

The navigation lottery probability of this navigation scenario is set so as to be switched to the next navigation lottery probability (so-called navigation scenario advances) each time a push order navigation occurs.
For example, as shown in FIG. 20, in the precursor state in which the navigation scenario 0 (normally 1) is set, when the push order navigation occurs in the game in which the navigation lottery probability is set to 1/15 of the symbol 3. In the next game, push order navigation occurs with a probability of 1/10 of the symbol 4.

In each scenario, the tendency is that the navigation lottery probability increases each time the navigation is switched to the next navigation lottery probability, so that the next navigation is likely to occur each time the navigation occurs, that is, the image that the navigation calls the navigation. become.
On the other hand, in the precursor state (navigation scenario state), when the push order navigation occurs, the transition lottery for whether or not to shift to the chance zone state (CZ state) is also executed. Therefore, in the precursor state (navigation scenario state), the expectation for the CZ state increases every time the navigation occurs.
In addition, in the precursor state (navigation scenario state), the specific role as the push order role in which the navigation occurs is the winning combination group "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2" (above, replay). The role is limited to two types, "ALL3" (establishment of a 5-card payout combination), and the AT role, which is a 15-card payout combination, is not included. As a result, it is set so that the number of balls in the advantageous section normal state (before winning the AT) does not become too large.

As described above, the first navigation execution lottery is won to perform navigation, and one of the navigation scenarios 0 to 9 (see FIG. 20) as the second production scenario described later is determined and set by the navigation scenario lottery. Will be done.
Further, when the navigation scenario is set and the state shifts to the navigation scenario state, a lottery of the type (short, long) for determining the number of games to stay in the navigation scenario state is performed.
As a result of the lottery of the type, if it is determined to be short, the number of games to stay in the navigation scenario state is set to 16 times, and if it is determined to be long, the number of games to stay in the navigation scenario state is set to 32 times. Of course, the numerical value of the number of games is not limited to these, and may be set to the number of games of other numerical values.

In the precursory state, as a result of the role lottery, the replay role as a specific role (specifically, the winning combination groups "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2") and the AT with 5 cards paid out When the winning combination (specifically, "ALL3") is won, the lottery for generating navigation, that is, the lottery for whether or not to notify the operation mode of the so-called stop switch 50, is the navigation scenario determined by the above-mentioned navigation scenario lottery. The second navigation execution lottery is performed based on the set lottery probability.
When the second navigation execution lottery is won, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is notified, and it is determined whether or not to shift to the CZ state as an advantageous state.
If it is decided not to shift to the CZ state as an advantageous state, the lottery probability of notifying the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in the next order specified in the navigation scenario as the selected second production scenario is set. NS.
When it is determined to shift to the CZ state as an advantageous state, the number of games determined by lottery (specifically, the number of games 16 or 32) is exhausted, and then the state shifts to the CZ state. During the 16 or 32 games, the continuous production is performed. Of course, it is not limited to this, and when it is decided to shift to the CZ state as an advantageous state, it is made to immediately shift to the CZ state without digesting the determined number of games as described above. May be good.

According to the present embodiment, a plurality of base navigation scenarios are provided as the first production scenario in which the lottery probabilities of whether or not to execute the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 are defined in a plurality of orders (FIG. 19). reference). In addition, a plurality of navigation scenarios are provided as a second production scenario in which the lottery probabilities of whether or not to execute the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 are defined in a plurality of orders (see FIG. 20).
Then, when the specific combination (replay combination or AT combination "ALL3" paying out 5 cards) as described above is won, the probability of executing the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 specified in the base navigation scenario as the first production scenario. The first navigation execution lottery is performed based on The second navigation execution lottery is performed based on the lottery probability of the notification of the operation mode.

That is, the scenarios in which the lottery probabilities of whether or not to execute the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 are defined in a plurality of orders are the first production scenario (base navigation scenario (see FIG. 19)) and the second production scenario. (Navigation scenario (see FIG. 20)) is provided, and the order of the lottery probability of whether or not to execute the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50, the so-called navigation notification, is the pattern of the two types of scenarios. By combining them, when the player sees the game as it progresses, the pattern of the order in which the lottery probabilities are lined up becomes diverse and complicated, and it is not possible to make a single pattern. It will be unpredictable.

Assuming that this is one of a plurality of patterns in which the lottery probabilities are defined in order in one production scenario, any pattern in the order of the plurality of lottery probabilities will be used as the game is repeated. It is easy to determine whether or not there is, and the sequence of lottery probabilities can be easily predicted, resulting in a monotonous game.
As a result, according to the present invention, it is not easy for a player who repeatedly plays a game to foresee the game content and the effect content within a slight increase range without requiring a significant increase in the data capacity. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of making such a variety and complexity.

In the present embodiment, in the navigation scenario state based on the navigation scenario as the second production scenario, the game does not shift to the CZ state as the advantageous state, and the number of games is 16 or 32 times, which is the predetermined section as described above. , When executed, the lottery probability of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in the next order of the base navigation scenario as the selected first production scenario is set, and the first navigation execution lottery is performed with the set lottery probability. It is formed like this.

In the state based on the second production scenario, if the player does not shift to the advantageous state and executes it for a predetermined section, the player does not have the advantageous development as the player desires, and it is interesting without change. It is in a poor condition. In this state, the lottery probability of the operation mode of the stop switch in the next order of the first production scenario is set, and the first navigation execution lottery is performed with the set lottery probability, so that the state becomes uninteresting without change. It is possible to change the game state that was being played, and to make the game state interesting.

Based on the lottery probability of the first navigation execution lottery, the navigation scenario as the second production scenario to be set among the plurality of second production scenarios is determined.
Specifically, at the time of transition to the navigation scenario state (precursor state), the distribution lottery of the navigation scenario (second production scenario) is performed based on the lottery probability of the first navigation execution lottery. That is, the lottery probabilities "0": 1/99, "1": 1/80, "2": 1/70, "3": 1/60, "4": 1 / of the base navigation scenario shown in FIG. Based on 40, a lottery is conducted to determine which of the navigation scenarios 0 to 9 in FIG. 20 is used.

At that time, the higher the value of the lottery probability of the base navigation scenario, the more advantageous it is for the players of the navigation scenarios 0 to 9, that is, the one with a high possibility that the player can obtain a lot of profits and the high expectation. Each lottery probability is preset so that is easily selected by lottery.
As a result, it is possible to have a relationship between the first navigation execution lottery using the base navigation scenario (first production scenario) and the second navigation execution lottery using the navigation scenario (second production scenario). ..

Of course, the means and methods for providing a relationship between the two are not limited to those described above, and may be other means or methods.
Specifically, for example, when the navigation scenario state is changed, the lottery probability of the distribution lottery as described above is set to 100% based on the lottery probability of the base navigation scenario, and the lottery is uniquely determined. But it may be. For example, when the lottery probability of the base navigation scenario is the maximum "4": 1/40, the navigation scenario 9 with the highest expectation among the navigation scenarios 0 to 9 is uniquely determined with a 100% probability. It may be something that is done.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the second production scenario to be set among the plurality of (specifically, 10) second production scenarios is determined based on the lottery probability of the first navigation execution lottery. By doing so, it is possible to have a relationship between the first navigation execution lottery and the second navigation execution lottery, and it is possible to make the game state more interesting.

In the present embodiment, both the lottery probability of the first navigation execution lottery and the lottery probability of the second navigation execution lottery are displayed on the screen of the display device 84 and notified to the player.
Of course, it is not limited to notifying both lottery probabilities in this way, and only one of the lottery probabilities may be notified, and at least the lottery probability of the first navigation execution lottery or It may be formed so as to notify the player of either one of the lottery probabilities of the second navigation execution lottery.

According to the present embodiment, by notifying the player of at least one of the lottery probability of the first navigation execution lottery and the lottery probability of the second navigation execution lottery, a specific numerical value of the lottery probability is played. The player can directly recognize, and the player can directly grasp how much the lottery probability is set and in what order. As a result, as the game is repeated, it is possible to predict which pattern is in the order of the plurality of lottery probabilities and to make an analogy, and it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

In the present embodiment, the ALL3 role, which is the AT role of paying out 5 cards as the specific role in the winning of the specific role, which is the opportunity for the execution lottery of the navigation system, is given a medal as a game value given to the player. , The number of medals given as the game value is set to be smaller than the maximum combination (so-called 15-card payout combination).

According to the present embodiment, the ALL3 combination as a specific combination (payment of 5 cards) is a combination in which the number of medals as the game value given to the player is maximum (specifically, a maximum of 15 cards are paid out). Since the number of medals given as the game value is smaller than that of the role), the lottery probability of a specific role is set to the maximum number of medals as the game value (maximum 15 payouts). It is possible to increase the winning frequency of the specific combination, and accordingly, the number of lottery for whether or not to notify the operation mode of the stop switch 50, that is, the so-called navigation execution lottery is increased. As a result, the setting of the lottery probability of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in the next order can be advanced quickly, the development of the game can be accelerated, and the game progress can be changed, which is interesting. It can be a game.

(CZ state)
The CZ state is a state in which the transition to the AT state is easier than in the advantageous section normal state.
Specifically, it is a state in which the AT transition lottery is performed with a higher probability than the AT transition lottery performed in the advantageous section normal state.
Then, if the AT transition lottery is won, the AT state (additional state) is entered, and if the AT transition lottery is not won, the advantageous section normal state is entered.
If the player does not win the AT transition lottery and shifts to the advantageous section normal state, the set base navigation scenario may be continued, or a new base navigation scenario may be set.
Further, when the AT transition lottery is not won, the transition is not limited to the case of transitioning to the advantageous section normal state, and the transition from the advantageous section including the CZ state to the non-advantageous section may be performed.

The transition destination after digestion of the navigation scenario state is not limited to the CZ state, the advantageous section normal state, and the non-advantageous section normal state, and other states, for example, a battle state in which a battle effect is performed, may be provided. good.
In the battle state, the case where the battle succeeds and the case where the battle fails are set by lottery, and if it succeeds, a battle is performed in each game, for example, a production of defeating 10 enemies is performed. If it is executed, it shifts to the AT state, and if it fails, it shifts to the non-advantageous section normal state or the advantageous section normal state.

(AT state)
The "AT state" is a state more advantageous to the player than the advantageous section normal state.
When the player shifts to the "AT state", a game (AT) is started in which 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. By operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified push order and the operation timing of the first stop, it is possible to stop and display the combination of the symbols of the winning small winning combination and the replaying combination. 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 AT mode lottery is performed at the time of transition from the CZ state to the AT state (particularly, the addition state) and at the time of transition from the pullback state to the addition state.
Here, the AT mode is a mode for managing the net increase upper limit number, the upper limit game value, the upper limit addition section, etc., which will be described later, and in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the AT mode 0 to AT mode It consists of 5. The higher the numerical value (0 to 5) representing the AT mode, the more advantageous it is for the player. It should be noted that the higher the numerical value (0 to 5) representing the AT mode is, the more advantageous the player is, and the lower the numerical value is, the more advantageous the player is. It may be set to, or it may be set so that it does not matter whether the numerical value is advantageous to the player.

In the AT mode lottery performed at the time of transition from the CZ state to the AT state (particularly, the additional state), the AT mode is determined according to the number of games in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state. I am trying to do it.
For example, when the number of digestion games is large (700 games or more, etc.), the AT mode (AT mode with a high numerical value representing the AT mode), which is often advantageous for the player, is easily determined, and the number of digestion games is small. In the case (200 games to 399 games, etc.), the AT mode having a low numerical value representing the AT mode is easily determined.

Of these, when the number of games played in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state is within a predetermined range, for example, 199 games or less, AT mode 0 is always determined as a result of the AT mode lottery. ing.
Here, as shown in FIG. 24, the AT mode 0 is an AT mode in which the first stage, which is the stage with the lowest advantage among the plurality of stages having different advantages, is executed.

That is, a non-advantageous section, an advantageous section that can be transferred from this non-advantageous section and is more advantageous to the player than the non-advantageous section, and an AT state as an advantageous state executed during this advantageous section are provided. The AT state as the advantageous state includes a first AT normal state as a predetermined state composed of a plurality of stages having different advantages, so-called AT modes.
Then, as described above, the number of games played in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state as the advantageous state is within a predetermined range (specifically, 199 times or less as described above, of course, the said It is not limited to the number of games, and may be set to another number of games, for example, another numerical value such as 150 times or less), the first AT normal state as the predetermined state is set to the AT mode. Of 0 to 5, the execution in AT mode 0, which is the least advantageous stage, is determined, and the predetermined state (first AT normal state) in the least advantageous stage (AT mode 0) is determined. After the end of, the execution of the first AT normal state in any one of the plurality of stages is determined again.
The AT mode 0 may be selected even when the number of games in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state as the advantageous state is not in the predetermined range as described above.

When the player falls from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section, if all the data related to the processing such as the game history is set to be reset, when the state shifts to the advantageous state, the game history in the previous advantageous state, etc. I don't know the situation that accompanies it, for example, the number of balls won. Therefore, in the previous advantageous state, after getting a large amount of balls, it falls to a non-advantageous section, immediately shifts to an advantageous state, and in the advantageous state, a large amount of balls are again obtained. If this happens, one player will get a large number of balls in a too short period of time, which will significantly incite gambling, making it a healthy gaming machine with high gambling. It will be excluded from entertainment and will be criticized.
Therefore, when the number of games from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the advantageous state is within a predetermined range, in order to avoid the above-mentioned situation, in such a case, the most advantageous degree. The lower stage of execution is now decided. Thereby, the above-mentioned situation can be avoided.

Further, when the number of games of the advantageous section from the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state is within a predetermined range, AT mode 0 is always determined as a result of the AT mode lottery, and the AT mode 0 is always determined. The pull-back lottery performed in the pull-back state, which shifts after the end of the first AT normal state in, is always won.
That is, in this case, after the end of the first AT normal state in the first stage (AT mode 0), the first AT normal state can be played again via the pullback state, and in the first AT normal state again, Any of AT modes 0 to 5 is determined by the AT mode lottery, and the initial stage determined by the initial stage determination lottery performed in the net increase number stage determination state is executed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, after the end of the least advantageous stage, the execution of any one of the plurality of stages is determined again, so that the advantageous state has been reached. Nevertheless, it is possible to provide an opportunity to recover the disadvantage of deciding to execute the least advantageous stage. When such a recovery opportunity is given, it means that the number of games has passed since the previous advantageous state, and it is a case where a large number of balls have been obtained in the previous advantageous state. However, it is unlikely that a situation will occur in which a large number of balls will be released in a short period of time, and it is unlikely that it will become a highly gambling gaming machine that significantly incites gambling, and it is a healthy entertainment. It does not deviate from the target.
That is, the number of games in the advantageous section from the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state is within a predetermined range (specifically, as described above, 199 times or less, and of course, the number of games is limited to the number of games. In the case of another number of games, for example, another numerical value such as 150 times or less), the first AT normal state can be executed in any of AT modes 0 to 5. , As a privilege, the first AT normal state in AT mode 0 will be given, but in order to prevent inciting gambling, the first AT normal state in AT mode 0 given as a privilege is executed first. There is.

If the number of games played in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state as the advantageous state is within the predetermined range, the AT mode lottery is not executed and the AT mode 0 is set. Is also good.
Further, the AT mode lottery is not limited to the case where the lottery is performed according to the number of games played in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state, and from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the additional state. It may be performed according to the number of games played in the advantageous section, or it may be performed according to the number of games played in the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the net increase number stage determination state. Is also good.

It should be noted that the non-advantageous section normal state until the transition to the advantageous section is not limited to the case where the AT mode is determined according to the number of games of the advantageous section from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the AT state. The AT mode may be determined according to the number of games including the number of games of.

Further, in the AT mode lottery performed at the time of transition from the pullback state to the addition state, the AT mode is determined according to the result of the game in the first AT normal state, for example, the net increase in the number of sheets after the transition to the first AT normal state. I have to.
For example, when the net increase in the number of sheets after the transition to the first AT normal state is small (0 to 300 sheets, 301 to 500 sheets, etc.), the AT mode (AT mode in which the numerical value representing the AT mode is high) is often advantageous to the player. ) Is easy to determine, and when the net increase in the number of sheets after the transition to the first AT normal state is large (501 to 1000 sheets, etc.), the AT mode having a low numerical value representing the AT mode is easily determined.

Further, when the result of the game in the first AT normal state as a predetermined state is within a predetermined range, for example, when the net increase number is 501 to 1000 as described above and the number of medals acquired is large. After the end of the first AT normal state as the predetermined state, the first AT normal state may be executed in the AT mode 0 which is the lowest advantageous stage, and then the transition to the non-advantageous section may be performed.

In this way, when the result of the game in the first AT normal state as the predetermined state is within a predetermined range (for example, the above-mentioned net increase number is 501 to 1000), the first AT as the predetermined state After the end of the normal state, the first AT normal state is executed at the stage with the lowest advantage (AT mode 0), and then the transition to the non-advantageous section is performed, so that a large amount of the first AT normal state as the predetermined state is assumed. Even in the case of getting a ball, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where a large number of balls are obtained in a short period of time, and high gambling that significantly incites gambling. It is possible to suppress the possibility of becoming a sexual gaming machine and to prevent the occurrence of a situation that deviates from a sound entertainment target.

Here, as shown in FIG. 24, the AT mode 0 is an AT mode in which the first stage, which is the stage with the lowest advantage among the plurality of stages having different advantages, is executed.

That is, in this case, after the end of the 1st AT normal state in which the net increase number is large, the 1st AT normal state can be played again via the pullback state, and in the 1st AT normal state again, the AT mode lottery is performed. AT mode 0 is determined, and the first AT normal state in the first stage (AT mode 0) is executed.

In the present embodiment, the "AT state" includes the "addition state", the "net increase number stage determination state", the "first AT normal state", the "second AT normal state", the "addition special zone", and the "pull back 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.

(Additional state)
The additional state is included in the advantageous state executed during the advantageous section, and when the transition to the AT state is determined in the CZ state, the state shifts from the CZ state and the pullback state described later is used for pulling back. When the lottery is won, the state shifts from the pullback state, the game section in the first AT normal state is determined during the predetermined game section, and the number of games in the AT state as a predetermined state. It is a state to decide the addition. Specifically, it is a state in which the number of initial games in the first AT normal state is determined.

According to the present embodiment, the advantageous state includes an additional state for determining the additional number of games in a predetermined state. That is, by determining the addition of the number of games, it is possible to provide an advantageous state for the player.
Further, by making the numerical value of the number of additional games stepwise different, it is possible to provide a plurality of steps having different advantages for the player.
Specifically, when a predetermined combination is won by a combination lottery, a game number lottery is performed to determine the number of games from the predetermined number of games, and after the next game, based on the AT mode, An additional lottery is conducted to determine whether or not to add to the number of games determined by the number of games lottery.
Then, the number of games added by the additional lottery is set as the initial number of games in the first AT normal state.

Here, an example of the display of the liquid crystal display device 84 in the added state will be described with reference to FIG. 25.
First, in the first game in the additional state, the result of the number of games lottery "+ 10G" is determined, in the second game, the result of the additional lottery "+ 30G" is determined, and in the third game, the addition is added due to the loss in the additional lottery. Was not obtained, and in the 4th game, "+ 50G" was decided as a result of the extra lottery, and in the final 5th game, the extra was not obtained due to the loss in the extra lottery, and at the end of the 5th game, the total It is notified that "+90" has been acquired, such as "TOTAL +90 GET".
In this example, such "90G" is the initial number of games in the first AT normal state.

(Net increase number stage decision state)
In the present embodiment, the AT state as an advantageous state includes a net increase number stage determination state that determines the expected value of the medal as the game value given to the player in the first AT normal state as the predetermined state. included.
This net increase number stage determination state is a state in which an initial stage determination lottery for determining an initial stage is performed among a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different based on the AT mode. Specifically, it is a state of determining the initial stage of the first AT normal state.

Here, in the present embodiment, the plurality of stages in which the expected value of the gaming value given to the player is different are the first stage, the second stage, the third stage, the fourth stage, and the fifth stage.
In the present embodiment, the first stage has a net increase of 2.5 cards per game during execution of the first stage, and the second stage has a net increase of 3 cards per game during execution of the second stage. 5.5 cards, the third stage has a net increase of 4.5 cards per game during the execution of the third stage, and the fourth stage has a net increase of 5.5 cards per game during the execution of the fourth stage. In the fifth stage, the net increase in the number of cards per game during the execution of the fifth stage is 8.0.

According to the present embodiment, the AT state as an advantageous state includes a net increase number stage determination state for determining an expected value of the game value given to the player in the first AT normal state as a predetermined state. Is done. That is, by determining the expected value of the gaming value given to the player, it is possible to provide an advantageous state for the player.
Further, by making the numerical value of the expected value of the gaming value given to the player different stepwise, it is possible to provide a plurality of steps having different advantages to the player.

In the first AT normal state, the advantageous section control means 260 stores the net increase number of sheets per game at the stage of execution, and the stop switch 50 is based on the net increase number of sheets and the expected value of the stage of execution. (Notification of push order and operation timing of the first stop) is performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, an initial stage and the highest stage that can be promoted are predetermined according to the AT mode.
For example, in AT mode 0, the initial stage is the first stage, and the highest stage that can be promoted is also set to be the first stage, that is, the stage is not promoted by the promotion lottery, and the AT mode In No. 1, the initial stage is any of the first to fourth stages, and the highest stage that can be promoted is the fifth stage.

In the present embodiment, when calculating the upper limit addition section described later, the "net increase number of sheets per game" corresponding to the "highest stage" is referred to. Therefore, when calculating the upper limit addition section in the first AT normal state in which AT mode 0 is set, "net increase number per game" = 2.5 sheets corresponding to the highest stage "first stage". / G is used. In addition, when calculating the upper limit addition section in the 1st AT normal state in which AT modes 1, 2, 4, and 5 are set, the "net increase in number of sheets per game" corresponding to the "fifth stage", which is the highest stage. "= 8.0 sheets / G is used. In addition, when calculating the upper limit addition section in the first AT normal state in which AT mode 3 is set, "net increase number per game" = 3.5 sheets corresponding to the highest stage "second stage". / G is used.

Here, in the initial stage, except for AT mode 4, the fifth stage is not determined by lottery. When the fifth stage, which is the highest stage from the initial stage, is determined, there is a possibility that the interest of the promotion lottery performed during the first AT normal state may be reduced, and this is to prevent this.

According to the present embodiment, a predetermined state that constitutes a plurality of stages having different advantages to the player by being composed of a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different. have.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the number of games from the transition to the advantageous section to the transition to the advantageous state is within a predetermined range, the situation is such that the gambling is significantly inflamed as described above. In such a case, the above-mentioned situation should be avoided by making the execution of the stage where the expected value of the game value given to the player is the lowest is determined. Can be done.

An example of the flow from the added state to the net increase number stage determination state will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 26.
First, when the start switch 40 of the next game, which is displayed as "TOTAL +90 GET" at the end of the added state, is operated, the above-mentioned initial stage determination lottery is performed to determine the initial stage. In this example, the case where the stage 3 is determined will be described.

Although the initial stage is the third stage, the liquid crystal display device 84 displays the initial number of games "90G", the "first stage", and the net increase in the number of the first stage, "2.5". Then, when the effect button switch 42 is operated after the display prompting the operation of the effect button switch 42 is displayed (not shown), the stage is promoted by one stage, and the net increase number "3" is obtained in the "second stage". The display changes to ".5". Further, when the effect button switch 42 is operated, the stage is promoted by one stage, and the display changes to the net increase number of sheets "4.5" in the "third stage".

That is, the initial stage is determined in advance, the first display is the lowest stage, and the first stage is displayed. By operating the effect button switch 42, the effect of promotion to the initial stage is executed. Will be done.

Further, in this way, instead of shifting from the net increase number stage determination state to the addition state, by shifting from the addition state to the net increase number stage determination state, the number of increases in the game value that can be acquired by the player. It becomes possible to easily grasp.

That is, as in the example shown in FIG. 26, the stage is promoted by one stage from the state where the initial number of games in the first AT normal state is "90G" and the net increase in the initial stage is "2.5", and the initial stage is increased. When the number of games is "90G" and the net increase number is changed to "3.5", 90 x 1.0 = 90 is calculated, and it becomes possible to easily grasp that the number of 90-card acquisition increases.

In order to facilitate such calculation, the promotion of each stage is one step at a time, and the net increase in the number of sheets increased by the promotion of the stage is in 1.0 sheet increments, that is, 2.5 sheets, 3.5 sheets, 4. The number is increased one by one, such as 5 sheets and 5.5 sheets.

If the transition from the net increase number stage determination state to the addition state is made, the number of games will be added and displayed as "+30" from the state where the net increase number is displayed as "4.5", so 4.5 × It is necessary to calculate 30 = 135, and it becomes difficult to grasp the increase in the number of acquired sheets to the first AT normal state.

In the net increase number stage determination state, the initial stage is determined in advance, and the promotion is not limited to the case where the promotion effect is executed, and the promotion lottery may be performed from the determined initial stage to another stage. ..

(1st AT normal state)
The first AT normal state is an example of a predetermined state, from the "AT state" to the "addition state", the "net increase number stage determination state", the "second AT normal state", the "addition special zone", and the "pull back state". It is a state excluding.

The first AT normal state is capable of playing during the game section determined by the above-mentioned additional state, and when the game section is digested, the first AT normal state shifts to the pullback state.
Further, the first AT normal state shifts to the additional special zone by winning the predetermined additional special zone transition lottery, and shifts to the second AT normal state by winning the second AT normal state transition lottery. In addition, the transition to the ending state is performed by satisfying the conditions for transition to the ending state.

In addition, during the first AT normal state, when a special combination predetermined by a combination lottery, for example, a winning combination group CH1, CH2, WM, KBE, CHBE, CHWM, CHSP, WMBE, BESP, WMSP, is won, An additional lottery is executed as to whether or not to add the gameable game section in the first AT normal state.
First, the additional lottery is determined by referring to a stage that can be promoted among a plurality of stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different based on the running AT mode. It is executed within the range of the upper limit addition section, which is the upper limit of the section.

Specifically, an "additional lottery" for whether or not to add a gameable game section in the first AT normal state is executed (see step S21 in FIG. 35). When the result of the additional lottery is "addition", the "game number lottery" for determining the game section (number of games) to be added is executed (see step S23 in FIG. 35). If the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of this game number lottery is within the range of the upper limit additional section, the game section is added to the first AT normal state.
In other words, the game section (number of additional games) determined by the additional lottery and the number of games lottery is a provisional game section (number of additional games), and is officially determined by referring to the upper limit additional section. It becomes the game section (the number of additional games).

If the game section (number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery is not within the range of the upper limit additional section, a limiter lottery is further executed and the limiter lottery is won to add the game section. conduct.
On the other hand, if the limiter lottery is not won, the game section will not be added.

If the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section. That is, the transition to the ending state is confirmed.

Here, if the limiter lottery is won, it is remembered that the limiter lottery was won (the limiter flag is turned ON), and if the limiter flag is ON, the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery. However, it is not determined whether or not it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and if the addition lottery is won, all the additions are made.

Further, when the limiter lottery is won, a suggestion effect suggesting to the player that the limiter lottery has been won, for example, an effect in which a rare character appears is executed. As a result, it is known that the player has won the limiter lottery, and it is possible to play the advantageous section up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section, so that it is possible to play a game rich in interest.

The winning probability of the limiter lottery is a uniform probability, but it may be changed depending on the type of special role that triggers the above-mentioned additional lottery. That is, among the special roles, if the rare role (for example, the winning combination group "CH1", "CH2", "WM") is won, the probability is higher than that of other roles (for example, the winning combination group "KBE"). May be set to. Further, the winning probability of the limiter lottery may be set according to a set value for determining the winning probability of the winning combination lottery, the number of AT games digested in the first AT normal state, and the AT mode.
The upper limit addition section will be described later.

Further, in the first AT normal state, different stages of the expected value of the game value given to the player can be promoted to another stage having a higher expected value.
Specifically, a predetermined combination, in this embodiment, when the winning combination groups "BERP1", "BERP2", and "SPX" are won, the stage is promoted based on the AT mode being executed. A stage promotion lottery will be held.

Such a stage promotion lottery is performed during a predetermined number of games in the AT normal state, and by winning the stage promotion lottery, the net increase in the number of games per game is increased.
For example, when promoted from the first stage to the second stage, the net increase in the number of sheets in the first stage is increased from 2.5 to 3.5 in the second stage, and the promotion is made in the middle of the same AT normal state. Subsequent net increases in the number of cards per game will fluctuate.

The winning probability of the stage promotion lottery varies depending on the result of the role lottery when the promotion lottery is held, but it is not limited to this, and it is a uniform winning probability regardless of the result of the role lottery. Alternatively, the AT state may be provided with modes having different advantages and effects, and the winning probability may be changed depending on the mode.

In addition, the winning probability of the stage promotion lottery is set higher for the lower stage and lower for the higher stage (for example, the winning probability from the first stage to the second stage is the highest, and the fourth stage to the second stage). The probability of winning in 5 stages is the lowest), but it is not limited to this, and conversely, the lower stage may be set lower, the higher stage may be set higher, and the stage promotion lottery to any stage may be set. Even so, the lottery may be performed 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 first AT normal state, when the winning combination (winning combination groups "ATLC1" to "ATRC2") is won in the combination lottery based on the net increase in the number of sheets, the stop switch 50 is pressed as a notification of the notification mode. Notification of the order and notification of the operation timing of the first stop are performed.
For example, when the stage is the first stage, the push order is notified so that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 2.5. That is, when the stage is the first stage, the notification lottery is performed with a winning probability that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 2.5, for example, 25%, and when the stage is the second stage, 1 A notification lottery is performed with a winning probability that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 3.5, for example, 40%. If the stage is the third stage, the net increase in the number of cards per game is 4.5. The notification lottery is performed with such a winning probability, for example 55%, and when the stage is the fourth stage, the notification lottery is performed with a winning probability such that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 5.5, for example 70%. When the stage is the fifth stage, the notification lottery is performed with a winning probability that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 8.0, for example, 100%.

In addition, it is not limited to the case where the notification lottery is performed with the winning probability according to the stage, and the actual net increase number is counted. For example, in the case of the first stage, the net increase number per game exceeds 2.5 pieces or When the net increase number exceeds a predetermined range from 2.5 sheets, the push order and the operation timing of the first stop may not be notified even if the push order combination is won in the combination lottery. .. Similarly, for example, in the case of the fifth stage, the push order and the operation timing of the first stop are notified so that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 8.0.

In addition, when the stage shifts to a different stage in the middle of the first AT normal state, the push order role is based on the expected value corresponding to the stage after the transition and the net increase in the game value given after the transition. (ATLC1 to ATRC2)), it is determined whether or not to notify the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop.
That is, in the middle of the 1st AT normal state, for example, when the player is promoted from the 1st stage to the 2nd stage, the push is made based on the expected value after the transition to the 2nd stage and the net increase in the number of sheets per game after the transition. A notification lottery is performed as to whether or not to notify the operation mode of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the normal combination.

Further, the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is not limited to the notification of both the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the stop switch 50, and may be only the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50. Alternatively, only notification of the operation timing of the stop switch 50 may be performed.

Further, in the first AT normal state, a combination predetermined by a combination lottery, for example, a winning combination group "BERP1", "BERP2", "CHSP", "BESP", "WMSP", "SP1", "SP2" ( (See FIGS. 12 and 13), a stock lottery will be held to stock the right to shift to the 1st AT normal state via an additional state or the like after the end of the 1st AT normal state being executed.

When the stock lottery is won, the pull-back state, which shifts after the end of the first AT normal state, shifts to the additional state.

The "first AT normal state" includes a "second AT normal state high accuracy state", an "addition special zone high accuracy state", and an "addition high accuracy state".
The state provided by the first AT normal state is not limited to the above-mentioned ones, and a part or all of the above-mentioned ones may not be provided.

(2nd AT normal state high accuracy state)
Whether the second AT normal state high probability state shifts to the second AT normal state high probability state performed at the time of winning a combination predetermined by the combination lottery, for example, the winning combination groups "CH1", "CH2", and "CHSP". It is a state of transition by winning the second AT normal state high probability state transition lottery.
When the second AT normal state high probability state transition lottery is won, the second AT normal state high probability state can be played for a predetermined game section, for example, 16 games.

2nd AT normal state In the high probability state, when a winning combination, for example, a winning combination group "RPSVN1" to "RPSVN3" is won, the 2nd AT normal state of whether or not to shift to the 2nd AT normal state A state transition lottery is held.
In the second AT normal state transition lottery, the winning probability is set higher than that of the first AT normal state other than the second AT normal state high probability state.
Then, when the second AT normal state transition lottery is won, the game shifts to the second AT normal state from the next game.

In addition, the second AT normal state transition lottery is performed among a plurality of stages regardless of the stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different based on the AT mode being executed, regardless of the stage in which the player can be promoted. It is executed within the range of the upper limit addition section determined by referring to the highest stage (8.0 sheets / G of the fifth stage).
That is, as will be described later, in the second AT normal state, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is such that the net increase number of sheets in the highest stage of the first AT normal state (8.0 sheets in the fifth stage / G) can be obtained. Since the notification of is performed, the upper limit addition section is calculated by referring to the highest stage that cannot be promoted from the running AT mode, not the stage that can be promoted.
Then, when the upper limit addition section determined by referring to the highest stage among the plurality of stages (8.0 sheets / G in the fifth stage) is exceeded, even if the upper limit addition section is not exceeded, the calculation is performed. If there is no predetermined upper limit addition section, for example, if it is less than 50 games, the second AT normal state is shifted only when the limiter lottery is won.

This means that even if you win the 2nd AT normal state transition lottery and shift to the 2nd AT normal state, you can fully receive the profit of the 2nd AT normal state if there is no room for the upper limit addition section. However, since there is a risk that the player will be dissatisfied with the transition to the second AT normal state, the transition to the second AT normal state is not performed unless the limiter lottery is further won.

Therefore, it is desirable that the winning probability of the second AT normal state transition lottery is set higher than the winning probability of the limiter lottery.

If the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section. That is, the transition to the ending state is confirmed.

Here, if the limiter lottery is won, it is remembered that the limiter lottery was won (the limiter flag is turned ON), and if the limiter flag is ON, the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery. However, it is not determined whether or not it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and if the addition lottery is won, all the additions are made.

In addition, when the limiter lottery is won, the player is in a special state by performing an effect such as a rare character appearing.

It should be noted that the second AT normal state transition lottery is not limited to the case where the upper limit addition section is not executed when there is no predetermined section, and as a preliminary step, a section in which the upper limit addition section is predetermined is originally set. If it does not exist, it may not be possible to shift to the second AT normal state and high accuracy state.
Further, the calculation of the upper limit addition section described above may not be the highest stage of the stage of the first AT normal state, but the upper limit addition section may be calculated by referring to the stage that can be promoted from the running AT mode.

(Additional special zone high accuracy state)
Additional special zone The high probability state is the additional special zone for whether or not to shift to the additional special zone that is performed when the winning combination groups "WM" and "WMSP" are won. It is in a state of transition by winning the transition lottery.
If the additional special zone transition lottery is won, the additional special zone high accuracy state can be played for a predetermined game section, for example, 16 games.

Additional specialization zone In the high-accuracy state, when a predetermined combination is won by a combination lottery, for example, the winning combination groups "RPSVN1" to "RPSVN3", the additional specialization of whether or not to shift to the additional specialization zone is made. A zone transition lottery will be held.
In the additional special zone transition lottery, the winning probability is set higher than that in the first AT normal state other than the additional special zone high probability state.
In addition, if you win the extra special zone transition lottery, you will be transferred to the extra special zone from the next game.

In addition, the additional special zone transition lottery is performed among a plurality of stages regardless of the stages in which the expected value of the game value given to the player is different based on the running AT mode, regardless of the stage in which the player can be promoted. It is executed within the range of the upper limit addition section determined by referring to the highest stage (8.0 sheets / G of the fifth stage).
That is, as will be described later, in the additional special zone, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is such that the net increase in the number of sheets in the highest stage of the first AT normal state (8.0 in the fifth stage / G) can be obtained. Since the notification of is performed, the upper limit addition section is calculated by referring to the highest stage that cannot be promoted from the running AT mode, not the stage that can be promoted.
Then, when the upper limit addition section determined by referring to the highest stage among the plurality of stages (8.0 sheets / G in the fifth stage) is exceeded, even if the upper limit addition section is not exceeded, the calculation is performed. If there is no predetermined upper limit additional section, for example, less than 30 games, the zone is shifted to the additional special zone only when the limiter lottery is won.

This is because even if you win the extra special zone transition lottery and move to the extra special zone, if you can not afford the upper limit additional section, you can fully receive the profit of the extra special zone. However, since there is a risk that the player will be dissatisfied with the transition to the additional special zone, the transition to the additional special zone is not made unless the limiter lottery is won.

Therefore, it is desirable that the winning probability of the additional special zone transition lottery is set higher than the winning probability of the limiter lottery.

If the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section. That is, the transition to the ending state is confirmed.

Here, if the limiter lottery is won, it is remembered that the limiter lottery was won (the limiter flag is turned ON), and if the limiter flag is ON, the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery. However, it is not determined whether or not it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and if the addition lottery is won, all the additions are made.

In addition, when the limiter lottery is won, the player is in a special state by performing an effect such as a rare character appearing.

Further, the winning probability of the limiter lottery performed when the transfer lottery to the additional special zone is won may be set to a higher probability than the case where the transfer lottery to the additional special zone is not won. As a result, it is possible to shift to the additional special zone with the limiter flag ON, and it is possible to further excite the additional special zone in the additional special zone where a large number of additional can be obtained.

In addition, the calculation of the upper limit addition section described above may not be the highest stage of the stage of the first AT normal state, but the upper limit addition section may be calculated by referring to the stage that can be promoted from the running AT mode.

(Additional high accuracy state)
Whether or not the additional high-accuracy state shifts to the additional high-accuracy state performed at the time of winning a combination predetermined by the combination lottery, for example, the winning combination groups "BERP1", "BERP2", "KBE", and "BESP". It is a state of transition by winning the additional high-accuracy state transition lottery.
If the additional high-accuracy state transition lottery is won, the additional high-accuracy state can be played for a predetermined game section, for example, 16 games.

In the additional high probability state, the additional lottery is performed with a higher probability than in the first AT normal state other than the additional high probability state.
In addition, the additional high probability state is not limited to the case where the additional lottery is performed with a higher probability than the 1st AT normal state other than the additional high probability state, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is set higher than the 1st AT normal state. You may.

Further, the additional lottery performed during the additional high-accuracy state is performed within the range of the upper limit additional section as in the additional lottery performed in other than the additional high-accuracy state.
Number of games that determine the game section (number of games) to be added when the result of the additional lottery is "addition" The game section (number of additional games) obtained as a result of the lottery is not within the range of the upper limit additional section. In that case, a limiter lottery is further executed, and the game section is added by winning the limiter lottery.

(2nd AT normal state)
The second AT normal state is an example of a predetermined state, and is feasible for a predetermined game section, for example, 20 G, and returns to the first AT normal state after digestion of the predetermined game section.

The second AT normal state is a so-called pseudo-bonus, and a so-called freeze effect or the like is executed when the start switch 40 of the first game in the second AT normal state is operated.

Further, in the second AT normal state, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is notified so that the net increase number of the highest stage of the first AT normal state described above (8.0 sheets / G in the fifth stage) can be obtained. Will be done.
Therefore, for example, even when the transition from the first AT normal state of the second stage to the second AT normal state is performed, the game value of the fifth stage can be obtained.
In the second AT normal state, the net increase in the highest stage of the first AT normal state is not limited to the case where another net increase may be obtained. In this case, it is desirable to obtain the same net increase as any stage in the 1st AT normal state, but the net increase is not limited to this, and is different from any stage in the 1st AT normal state. For example, it may be 6.0 sheets / G or 7.0 sheets / G.

Further, in the second AT normal state, when a special combination predetermined by a combination lottery, for example, a winning combination group CH1, CH2, WM, KBE, CHBE, CHWM, CHSP, WMBE, BESP, WMSP, is won, the first 2AT An additional lottery will be held to determine whether or not to add a playable game period in the normal state.
First, the additional lottery is executed within the range of the upper limit additional section, which is the upper limit of the additional game section determined by referring to the promotionable stage among the plurality of stages, as in the first AT normal state described above. Will be done.

If the game section (number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery is not within the range of the upper limit additional section, a limiter lottery is further executed and the limiter lottery is won to add the game section. conduct.
On the other hand, if the limiter lottery is not won, the game section will not be added.

If the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section. That is, the transition to the ending state is confirmed.

Here, if the limiter lottery is won, it is remembered that the limiter lottery was won (the limiter flag is turned ON), and if the limiter flag is ON, the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery. However, it is not determined whether or not it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and if the addition lottery is won, all the additions are made.

In addition, when the limiter lottery is won, the player is in a special state (winning the limiter lottery) by performing an effect such as a rare character appearing.

The winning probability of the limiter lottery may be changed depending on the type of special role that triggers the above-mentioned additional lottery. That is, among the special roles, if the rare role is won, the probability may be set higher than that of other roles.
The upper limit addition section will be described later.

Further, unlike the first AT normal state, the additional lottery in the second AT normal state may not be executed within the range of the upper limit additional section. In this case, a lottery for the number of additional games determined by lottery is executed from a plurality of additional games including 0G, and the number of games determined by the lottery for the number of additional games is determined as the number of additional games.

Further, in the second AT normal state, when a predetermined combination by a combination lottery, for example, a winning combination group "RPSVN1" to "RPSVN3" is won, an additional special zone for whether or not to shift to the additional special zone A transition lottery will be held.
Therefore, it can be said that the second AT normal state is a state in which the profit of the transition to the additional special zone can be obtained while obtaining the game value by notifying the notification mode of the stop switch 50.

In addition, the additional special zone transition lottery is similar to the additional special zone transition lottery performed in the first AT normal state, and has a plurality of expected values of game value given to the player based on the running AT mode. Regardless of the stage that can be promoted, it is executed within the range of the upper limit addition section determined by referring to the highest stage (8.0 sheets / G of the fifth stage) among the plurality of stages.
That is, as will be described later, in the additional special zone, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is such that the net increase in the number of sheets in the highest stage of the first AT normal state (8.0 in the fifth stage / G) can be obtained. Since the notification of is performed, the upper limit addition section is calculated by referring to the highest stage that cannot be promoted from the running AT mode, not the stage that can be promoted.
Then, when the upper limit addition section determined by referring to the highest stage among the plurality of stages (8.0 sheets / G in the fifth stage) is exceeded, even if the upper limit addition section is not exceeded, the calculation is performed. If there is no predetermined upper limit additional section, for example, less than 30 games, the zone is shifted to the additional special zone only when the limiter lottery is won.

This is because even if you win the extra special zone transition lottery and move to the extra special zone, if you can not afford the upper limit additional section, you can fully receive the profit of the extra special zone. However, since there is a risk that the player will be dissatisfied with the transition to the additional special zone, the transition to the additional special zone is not made unless the limiter lottery is won.

Therefore, it is desirable that the winning probability of the additional special zone transition lottery is set higher than the winning probability of the limiter lottery.

If the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section. That is, the transition to the ending state is confirmed.

Here, if the limiter lottery is won, it is remembered that the limiter lottery was won (the limiter flag is turned ON), and if the limiter flag is ON, the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery. However, it is not determined whether or not it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and if the addition lottery is won, all the additions are made.

In addition, when the limiter lottery is won, the player is in a special state by performing an effect such as a rare character appearing.

Further, the winning probability of the limiter lottery performed when the transfer lottery to the additional special zone is won may be set to a higher probability than the case where the transfer lottery to the additional special zone is not won. As a result, it is possible to shift to the additional special zone with the limiter flag ON, and it is possible to further excite the additional special zone in the additional special zone where a large number of additional can be obtained.

In addition, the calculation of the upper limit addition section described above may not be the highest stage of the stage of the first AT normal state, but the upper limit addition section may be calculated by referring to the stage that can be promoted from the running AT mode.
Further, the additional special zone transition lottery is not limited to the case where the lottery is performed within the range of the upper limit additional section, and may be performed regardless of the upper limit additional section.

In addition, if you win the extra special zone transition lottery, you will be transferred to the extra special zone from the next game.
In addition, if you win the extra special zone transition lottery, it is not limited to the case of shifting to the extra special zone from the next game, and even if you move to the extra special zone after the second AT normal state ends. good.

(Additional specialization zone)
The additional special zone is a state of transition when the additional special zone transition lottery is won in the 1st AT normal state or the 2nd AT normal state, and the additional special zone transition lottery is performed during a predetermined game section. This is a state in which an additional lottery is performed as to whether or not to add the number of games in the first AT normal state and the second AT normal state that have been won.

Further, in the addition special zone, as in the case of the first AT normal state described above, an addition lottery for whether or not to add a gameable game section in the first AT normal state is executed.
Similar to the first AT normal state described above, such an additional lottery is executed within the range of the upper limit additional section which is the upper limit of the additional game section determined by referring to the promotionable stage among the plurality of stages. ..

If the game section (number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery is not within the range of the upper limit additional section, a limiter lottery is further executed and the limiter lottery is won to add the game section. conduct.
On the other hand, if the limiter lottery is not won, the game section will not be added.

If the limiter lottery is won, the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section of the advantageous section. That is, the transition to the ending state is confirmed.

Here, if the limiter lottery is won, it is remembered that the limiter lottery was won (the limiter flag is turned ON), and if the limiter flag is ON, the game section (the number of additional games) obtained as a result of the number of games lottery. However, it is not determined whether or not it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, and if the addition lottery is won, all the additions are made.

In addition, when the limiter lottery is won, the player is in a special state by performing an effect such as a rare character appearing.

The winning probability of the limiter lottery may be changed depending on the type of special role that triggers the above-mentioned additional lottery. That is, among the special roles, if the rare role is won, the probability may be set higher than that of other roles.

Further, the winning probability of the limiter lottery is set to be higher than the winning probability of the limiter lottery performed in another state, for example, the second AT normal state high probability state (or the additional high probability state) of the first AT normal state. You may. As a result, it is possible to acquire the addition in the addition special zone with the limiter flag ON, and it is possible to further excite the addition in the addition special zone where a large number of additions can be obtained.
The upper limit addition section will be described later.

Further, in the additional lottery of the additional special zone, unlike the first AT normal state, it may not be executed within the range of the upper limit additional section. In this case, a lottery for the number of additional games determined by lottery is executed from a plurality of additional games including 0G, and the number of games determined by the lottery for the number of additional games is determined as the number of additional games.

Further, in the addition special zone, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is notified so that the net increase number of the highest stage (8.0 sheets / G in the fifth stage) of the above-mentioned first AT normal state stage can be obtained. Will be done.
Therefore, for example, even when the transition from the first AT normal state of the second stage to the additional special zone is performed, the game value of the fifth stage can be obtained.
In the additional special zone, the net increase is not limited to the case where the net increase in the highest stage of the first AT normal state can be obtained, and another net increase may be obtained. In this case, it is desirable to obtain the same net increase as any stage in the 1st AT normal state, but the net increase is not limited to this, and is different from any stage in the 1st AT normal state. For example, it may be 6.0 sheets / G or 7.0 sheets / G.

In addition, during the additional special zone, it is not limited to the case where the additional lottery similar to the 1st AT normal state is performed, and the 1st AT has a probability according to the winning combination by the winning combination lottery during the predetermined game section. When an additional lottery is executed to add the number of games in the normal state or the second AT normal state, or when an additional lottery is executed with a probability according to other factors such as the AT mode being executed. You may.
Further, if the additional lottery is not won in the additional special zone and the game section is not added, a predetermined game section, for example, 50 G, may be added. In this case, it may not be executed within the range of the upper limit addition section.

(Pulled back state)
The pullback state is a state in which a pullback lottery is performed to determine whether to shift to the normal AT state again after shifting to the normal AT state after the end of the first AT normal state.
The pullback lottery is performed based on the AT mode at the time of transition to the pullback state.
That is, the winning probability of the pullback lottery is set to be different depending on the AT mode being executed.

In addition, after the pullback lottery, a pullback state game number lottery for determining the number of games in the pullback state is performed based on the result.

If you win the pull-back lottery, you will be transferred to the additional state after the number of games is exhausted.
In addition, if the pullback lottery is not won, after the number of games is exhausted, the number of digested games in the advantageous section is exhausted, or the net increase after the transition to the AT state exceeds the predetermined number. If any of the above is satisfied, the section shifts to the non-advantageous section, and if none of the above is satisfied, the section shifts to the normal state of the advantageous section.

(Ending state)
The ending state is an example of a specific state, and is a state in which the game shifts by satisfying the transition condition to the ending state during the AT state, and the predetermined maximum number of games (1500 games) and the maximum difference number (MY2400) in the advantageous section. ) Is continued, 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 ending state is ended and the section shifts to the non-advantageous section.

Further, in the ending state, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is notified so that the net increase in the game value according to the same stage as the AT mode in the AT state that was executed before the transition to the ending state is obtained. Will be done.
In addition, it is limited to the case where the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is notified so that the net increase in the game value according to the same stage as the AT mode in the AT state that was executed before the transition to the ending state is performed. Instead, the notification mode of the stop switch 50 may be notified so that the number of sheets is increased by another.

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.

Here, the transition condition from the first AT normal state to the ending state is, for example, a predetermined number of games in which the number of digested games after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is within the upper limit number of games (1500 games) in the advantageous section. For example, when the number of games reaches 1300, or the difference between the number of game media introduced in the advantageous section and the number of game media paid out is within the upper limit difference number (MY2400) of the advantageous section. When the number of sheets, for example, 2000 sheets is reached.

Also, if the limiter flag is ON but the number of games in the AT state runs out before the transition condition to the ending state is satisfied, the pullback lottery performed in the pullback state may be won with a 100% probability. Also, if the number of games that satisfy the transition condition to the ending state is temporarily added in the game in which the limiter flag is ON, or if the limiter flag is ON, it is added from the 1st AT normal state or the 2nd AT normal state. By making sure to move to the specialized zone, the conditions for moving to the ending state are met.
The method for satisfying the transition to the ending state when the limiter flag is ON is not limited to the above case, and any type may be used as long as the transition to the ending state is possible.

As for the ending state, as in the 1st AT normal state, a stage promotion lottery is performed so that the stage where the expected value of the game value given to the player is different can be promoted to another stage with a high expected value. Is also good.

(Base navigation scenario)
A base navigation scenario will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a table showing the contents of the base navigation scenarios 0 to 9, and each of the base navigation scenarios 0 to 9 is provided with a name, and usually 1 to 5, hell, heaven, special, explosion, and legendary 10 It is composed of types. As shown in FIG. 19, the degree of expectation for giving a profit to the player is indicated by the number of stars, and the larger the number of stars, the greater the degree of expectation for the player to give a profit. When shifting to the base navigation scenario state, the values at the right end of the table in Fig. 19 are first displayed, and then from the right side, the order is (1), (2), ... (8), (9). It is formed to transition with. As shown in the margin, the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the table are "0" for the lottery probability 1/99, "1" for the lottery probability 1/80, and "2" for the lottery probability 1. / 70, "3" indicates the lottery probability 1/60, and "4" indicates the lottery probability 1/40. Specifically, the base scenario is converted into data, and the numerical values meaning the lottery probabilities described above are stored as data in which the numerical values are arranged below the table.

(Navi scenario)
A navigation scenario will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a table showing the contents of the navigation scenarios 0 to 9, and the navigation scenarios 0 to 9 are given names in the same manner as the base navigation scenarios, and are usually 1 to 5, hell, heaven, special, and explosion. , Consists of 10 legendary types. As shown in FIG. 20, the degree of expectation for giving a profit to the player is indicated by the number of stars, and the larger the number of stars, the greater the degree of expectation for the player to give a profit. When shifting to the navigation scenario state, the numerical value at the time of transition at the right end in the table is displayed first, and then transitions from the right side in the order of (1), (2), ... (8), (9). It is formed like this. As for the numerical values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the table, "0" is the lottery probability 1/32, "1" is the lottery probability 1/25, and "2", as shown in the margin. Indicates a lottery probability of 1/20, "3" indicates a lottery probability of 1/15, "4" indicates a lottery probability of 1/10, "5" indicates a lottery probability of 1/8, and "6" indicates a lottery probability of 1/6. .. Specifically, the navigation scenario is converted into data, and the numerical values meaning the lottery probabilities described above are stored as data in which the numerical values are arranged below the table.

(Navigation induced eyes)
The navigation-induced eyes will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23.
As shown in FIG. 22, a special role "SPX", which will be described later, is won, a navigation trigger is displayed, and in the next game, a specific role, for example, a winning combination group "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", When "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3" are won, push-order navigation occurs regardless of the navigation lottery, and the lottery probability of the next order set in the scenario is set, so-called scenario progress is performed. ..
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, even if the special role "SPX" described later is won and the navigation trigger eye is displayed, the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", and "BERP1" are displayed in the next game. , "BRP2" and "ALL3" are not won, the navigation does not occur and the winning probability of the next order set in the scenario is not set, so-called scenario progress is not performed.

Further, a specific description will be given.
In the present embodiment, when shifting from the advantageous section normal state to the precursory state, a specific "navigation scenario" is set from among a plurality of types of navigation scenarios. This "navigation scenario" defines the "probability of the navigation lottery" at that time, and is assigned to the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3". The "lottery probability" is switched with the "navigation" generated after winning and the navigation lottery. (The scenario progresses.). (In other words, even if you win a specific role, if you cannot clear the navigation lottery, navigation will not occur and the navigation scenario will not proceed.)

Here, which "navigation scenario" should be used is determined when the precursor state is entered, and since the type of "navigation scenario" does not change thereafter, which of the "navigation scenarios" should be used as the precursor state is digested. If it is detected whether it is a "navigation scenario", the subsequent games will be predicted even if the game is not performed, and the schedule will be harmonized, which will be uninteresting.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the precursor state in which the "navigation scenario" is set, the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", which advance the navigation of the "navigation scenario", When a special role "SPX" different from "ALL3" is won, a special stop mode "navigation-induced eyes" is made to appear in the winning game (see FIGS. 22 and 23), and in the next game. If the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3" are won, the navigation probability managed in the "navigation scenario" is exceeded and the display device 84 We have decided to always generate "push order navigation" on the LCD screen.

The navigation-induced eyes are briefly described in FIGS. 22 and 23, but in the upper part (replay symbol, ANY (ANY means that any symbol may be used)), the replay symbol. ), (ANY, replay symbol, ANY) in the middle row, and (ANY, ANY, ANY) in the lower row.

Specifically, if the winning game of the special role "SPX" is set to "forced navigation generation flag = ON", the next game and the flag are referred to, and it is set to ON, the navigation lottery is performed in that game. Does not execute, and "push order navigation" is generated by the value of the forced navigation generation flag. When the game is completed, the forced navigation generation flag = OFF is set.
As a result, when the precursor state is managed only by the "navigation scenario", the player acquires the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3". However, since the navigation lottery specified in the "navigation scenario" intervenes, it is not always possible to proceed with the scenario, but if the precursor state is managed by the combination of "navigation scenario" + "navigation triggered eye", the game When a person acquires the special role "SPX", navigation always occurs, so that it is possible to give the impression that the scenario of the "navigation scenario" can be advanced by the player himself / herself.

In the "navigation scenario" provided in multiple types, the playability is changed (for example, the specific number of games is hot). Therefore, in some scenarios, the "probability of the navigation lottery" is once reduced and then increased. It is included.
However, in the precursory state in which the "navigation scenario" is set, the "navigation lottery probability (1/60)" set at that time is displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the display device 84 and recognized by the player. There is. For this reason, the player also knows that the "probability of the navigation lottery" has decreased. On the other hand, in this "navigation-induced eye", the push-order navigation occurs when the reduced "probability of navigation lottery" is exceeded. By giving a feeling, it is possible to give a motivation to play in a state where the probability is reduced.

Here, in the present embodiment, so-called "navigation notification by the main control board 200" is not performed. The contents will be specifically described.
In this "navigation scenario", push-order navigation will occur when the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3" are won. The results of "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3" that constitute this specific combination do not change depending on the pressing order (stop operation order) of the stop switch 50. Since it is a (replay game, 5-card combination), there is no push order navigation that is managed by the main side, for example, which is push order notification using each segment of 7 segments.
Therefore, the "navigation" that occurs when the normal navigation lottery is executed and the "navigation" that occurs without the lottery due to the navigation trigger cannot be distinguished from the display such as the 7-segment display on the main side. Both navigations have the same navigation on the liquid crystal screen of the display device 84, but may be different.

Further, here, the "navigation-induced eyes" as described above appear not only in the precursory state but also in the "advantageous section normal state" managed by the "base navigation scenario". Therefore, in the advantageous section normal state, if the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3" are won in the next game of the game in which the navigation-induced eyes appear, The transition to the precursory state is confirmed.

In addition, here, in the next game of the game in which the "navigation-induced eyes" as described above appear, the specific roles "RPSVN1", "RPSVN2", "RPSVN3", "BERP1", "BRP2", and "ALL3" are won. If not, the push order navigation does not occur and the scenario does not progress. When the special role "SPX" is won, the push order navigation is formed in the game.

(Upper limit additional section)
Next, the upper limit addition section will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 33.
The upper limit addition section is the upper limit of the game section that can be added, which is determined by referring to the promotionable stage among the plurality of stages for the game section in the first AT normal state.

It should be noted that the addition of the game section in the first AT normal state is performed not only in the case where the game section is added in the first AT normal state, but also in the addition special zone. Further, the addition of the game section in the first AT normal state is not limited to the case where it is performed in both the first AT normal state and the addition special zone, and may be performed in either one.

Here, the calculation of the upper limit addition section is performed by the formula shown in FIG. 27.
Upper limit additional section = {(1) Upper limit game value- (2) Current net increase game value-((3) Current number of remaining AT games x (4) Net increase upper limit number)} / (4) Net increase upper limit number , As shown in FIG. 27, from (1) the upper limit game value, (2) the current net increase game value, and (3) the current number of remaining AT games (from the number of games in the game section in the first AT normal state). It is obtained by subtracting (4) the value obtained by multiplying the number obtained by subtracting the number of AT games digested in the first AT normal state by (4) the upper limit of net increase, and dividing by (4) the upper limit of net increase.

Here, (1) the upper limit game value is determined by the AT mode as shown in FIG. 24, and is the upper limit of the game value that can be obtained during the first AT normal state of one set. This is the net increase in the number of sheets in the first AT normal state of the set (so-called TY number).

Further, (2) the current net increased game value is the game value increased by acquiring the game value during the first AT normal state during execution.
Further, (2) the current net increase game value in the present embodiment is the difference number (TY number / set) within one set counted by the counter (TY counter) for counting the net increase game value. TY number), which is counted according to the result of the winning combination lottery or the result of the game during the CZ state and the AT state, and is cleared when shifting to the normal state (advantageous section / non-advantageous section). NS. For example, when the AT combination (AT_1 to AT_56) is established (winning), (15 sheets-inserted number) is added to the current counter value to count, or the current counter value is (paid out-inserted number). Count with.
Further, in the present embodiment, the counter is updated not only in the AT state (first AT normal state, second AT normal state, additional special zone, etc.) but also in the CZ state.

Further, (4) the upper limit of net increase is determined according to the highest stage determined by the AT mode, as shown in FIG. 24, and varies depending on the highest stage that can be promoted by the stage promotion lottery. ..
The "stage" of "(4) maximum number of net increase sheets" in the present embodiment is a value corresponding to the net increase number of sheets per game, and specifically, the net increase number of sheets per game = 2.5 sheets / The first stage corresponding to G = the net increase number of sheets per game = 8.0 sheets / the fifth stage corresponding to G.

For example, as shown in FIG. 28, the AT mode is 2 (it can be promoted to stage 5 where the net increase is 8.0), the initial stage is stage 1 (initial net increase is 2.5), and the upper limit game is used. The value is 700, which is the first AT normal state (so-called first hit, not the 1st AT normal state pulled back from the pulled back state) for the first time after shifting to the AT state, and as the initial number of games in the added state. "50 games" has been decided, and the case where the winning combination group "CH1", which triggers the additional lottery in the 20th game in the 1st AT normal state, is won and 10 games are decided as the additional section will be explained as an example. do.

In this case, (1) the maximum game value is 700, (2) the current net increase game value (TY) is 50 (2.5 x 20G), and (3) the current number of remaining AT games is. Since 30G (50G-20G) and (4) net increase upper limit number is 8.0 sheets / G, the upper limit addition section is
{700 sheets (1) -50 sheets (2)-(30G (3) x 8.0 sheets (4))} / 8.0 sheets (4) = 51.25G
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 51 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
The additional section determined by the lottery is 10 games, and as a result of comparing the result of the additional lottery with the calculated upper limit additional section, since it is within the upper limit additional section, the additional section of 10 games determined by the additional lottery is executed. The addition is executed.

Here, the "one set" in the present embodiment corresponds to, in other words, the period until the AT mode is reset. For example, if the player shifts to the additional special zone or the second AT normal state in the middle of the first AT normal state, the game value acquired in the additional special zone or the second AT normal state is also included in the "1 set" period. ..

Next, an example of the flow of adding the game section in the first AT normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 to 33.
FIG. 29 is an example in which the additional lottery is won once.
Further, as shown in FIG. 29, for example, the initial number of games in the first AT normal state is 50 games, the AT mode is 2 (promotion is possible to stage 5 where the net increase number is 8.0), and the initial stage is staged. It is assumed that 1 (initial net increase of 2.5 cards) and the maximum game value is 700 cards.

First, it is assumed that the additional lottery was won when the winning combination group "CH1" was won in the 20th game (trigger a) in the 1st AT normal state, and 10 games were decided as the number of additional games. ..

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 50 (2.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 30G (50G-20G). Therefore, the upper limit addition section is
{700-50- (30 x 8.0)} /8.0=51.25
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 51 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 51 games is larger than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (the number of additional games is 10 games within the range of 50 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 40 games (30G + 10G).

Next, in the 24th game (trigger b) in the 1st AT normal state, the player is promoted from the 1st stage to the 2nd stage by a stage promotion lottery.
In addition, an additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 34th game in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 34th game is 95 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 10G) and the number of remaining AT games is 26G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-95- (26 x 8.0)} /8.0=49.6
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 49 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

In addition, the additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "CH2" was won in the 44th game (trigger c) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 44th game is 130 (2.5 x 24 + 3.5 x 20) and the number of remaining AT games is 16G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-130- (16 x 8.0)} /8.0=55.2G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 55 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

In addition, the additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 54th game (trigger d) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 54th game is 165 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 30G) and the number of remaining AT games is 6G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-165- (6 x 8.0)} /8.0=60.8G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 60 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Further, as shown in FIG. 29, the stage of the upper limit game value (net increase number = 2.5 to 3.5 sheets / G) set corresponding to the AT mode is the highest stage (8.0 sheets / G). ), If the game progresses without acquiring the extra, the upper limit additional section increases (49G → 55G → 60G).
On the other hand, when the upper limit game value stage is the highest stage (that is, the initial stage of the upper limit game value is the highest stage), even if the game progresses without obtaining the addition, the upper limit is reached. Since the calculation formula for the additional section (see FIG. 27) assumes the highest stage, the upper limit additional section does not increase, for example, the upper limit additional section changes at an almost constant value such as 27G → 27G → 27G. In addition, when the stage of the upper limit game value is the highest stage, if the game progresses while acquiring the addition, the upper limit addition section also decreases (specifically, it becomes difficult to obtain the addition), and eventually, The upper limit additional section is less than the minimum additional section obtained by the additional lottery, and the additional section cannot be added.

FIGS. 30, 31 and 32 are examples in which the additional lottery is won twice within the range of the upper limit additional section.
Further, as in FIG. 29 described above, for example, the initial number of games in the first AT normal state is 50 games, the AT mode is 2 (promotion is possible to stage 5 where the net increase number is 8.0), and the initial stage is staged. It is assumed that 1 (initial net increase of 2.5 cards) and the maximum game value is 700 cards.

First, as shown in FIG. 30, the additional lottery that was held when the winning combination group "CH1" was won in the 20th game (trigger a) in the 1st AT normal state was won, and the number of additional games was 10 games. Is decided.

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 50 (2.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 30G (50G-20G). Therefore, the upper limit addition section is
{700-50- (30 x 8.0)} /8.0=51.25
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 51 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 51 games is larger than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (the number of additional games is 10 games within the range of 50 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 40 games (30G + 10G).

Next, in the 24th game in the normal state of the 1st AT, the player is promoted from the 1st stage (net increase of 2.5 sheets) to the 2nd stage (net increase of 3.5 sheets) by a stage promotion lottery.
In addition, an additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 34th game (trigger b) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 34th game is 95 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 10G) and the number of remaining AT games is 26G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-95- (26 x 8.0)} /8.0=49.6G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 49 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Next, the additional lottery held when the winning combination group "CH2" is won in the 44th game (trigger c) in the 1st AT normal state is won, and 30 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 130 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 16G (50G-). 44G + 10G), so the upper limit addition section is
{700-130- (15 x 8.0)} /8.0=55.93G
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 55 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 55 games is larger than the 30 games determined by the additional lottery (30 additional games are within the range of 55 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 46 games (30G + 10G).

In addition, the additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 54th game (trigger d) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 54th game is 165 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 30G) and the number of remaining AT games is 36G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-165- (36 x 8.0)} /8.0=30.8G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 30 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

That is, the upper limit addition section at the time of the second opportunity (54th G) in the example of FIG. 29 is "60 games". On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 30 in which the addition was acquired at the opportunity C (44th Gth), the upper limit addition section at the time of the opportunity 2 (54Gth) was "30 games", and the addition was acquired at the time of the opportunity C. The number of games is smaller than that of the example (60 games) in FIG. 29, which was not provided.
That is, as a result of the increase in the number of remaining AT games by acquiring the extra, the game value obtained by digesting all the remaining AT games is added, although the total number of remaining AT games has not been digested yet. Since the maximum game value (700 cards) is approached compared to when Will be reduced).

As shown in FIG. 31, the additional lottery was won when the winning combination group "CH1" was won in the 20th game (trigger a) in the 1st AT normal state, and 10 games were determined as the number of additional games. It is assumed that it has been done.

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 50 (2.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 30G (50G-20G). Therefore, the upper limit addition section is
{700-50- (30 x 8.0)} /8.0=51.25
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 51 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 51 games is larger than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (the number of additional games is 10 games within the range of 50 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 40 games (30G + 10G).

Next, in the 24th game in the normal state of the 1st AT, the player is promoted from the 1st stage (net increase of 2.5 sheets) to the 2nd stage (net increase of 3.5 sheets) by a stage promotion lottery.
In addition, an additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 34th game (trigger b) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 34th game is 95 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 10G) and the number of remaining AT games is 26G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-95- (26 x 8.0)} /8.0=49.6G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 49 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Next, in the 36th game in the normal state of the 1st AT, the player is promoted from the 2nd stage (net increase of 3.5 sheets) to the 3rd stage (net increase of 4.5 sheets) by a stage promotion lottery.

Next, the additional lottery held when the winning combination group "CH2" is won in the 44th game (trigger c) in the 1st AT normal state is won, and 30 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 138 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 12G + 4.5 x 8), and the current number of remaining AT games. Is 16G (50G-44G + 10G), so the upper limit addition section is
{700-138- (16 × 8.0)} /8.0=54.25G
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 54 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 54 games is larger than the 30 games determined by the additional lottery (30 additional games are within the range of 54 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 48 games (30G + 18G).

Next, in the 46th game in the 1st AT normal state, the player is promoted from the 3rd stage (net increase of 4.5) to the 4th stage (net increase of 5.5) by a stage promotion lottery.

In addition, the additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 52nd game (trigger d) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
The net increase game value (TY) up to the 52nd game is 191 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 12G + 4.5 x 10G + 5.5 x 8G), and the number of remaining AT games is 36G. Therefore, the upper limit addition section is
{700-191- (36 x 8.0)} /8.0=27.625G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 27 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

As shown in FIG. 31, when the upper limit game value stage is promoted (second stage → third stage) after the opportunity b is established, it is compared with the case where the stage is not promoted (see FIG. 30), and thereafter. Since the number of acquired cards tends to increase, the "current value for net increase games" tends to increase. As a result, the upper limit addition section is more likely to decrease (specifically, it becomes difficult to obtain the upper limit addition) as compared with the case where the upper limit game value stage is not promoted.

As shown in FIG. 32, the additional lottery was won when the winning combination group "CH1" was won in the 20th game (trigger a) in the 1st AT normal state, and 10 games were determined as the number of additional games. It is assumed that it has been done.

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 50 (2.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 30G (50G-20G). Therefore, the upper limit addition section is
{700-50- (30 x 8.0)} /8.0=51.25
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 51 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 51 games is larger than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (the number of additional games is 10 games within the range of 50 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 40 games (30G + 10G).

Next, in the 24th game in the normal state of the 1st AT, the player is promoted from the 1st stage (net increase of 2.5 sheets) to the 2nd stage (net increase of 3.5 sheets) by a stage promotion lottery.
In addition, the additional lottery held when the winning combination group "WM" is won in the 34th game (trigger b) in the 1st AT normal state is won, and 45 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current game value (TY) is 95 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 10G), and the number of remaining AT games is 26G. The additional section is
{700-95- (26 x 8.0)} /8.0=49.6G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 49 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the 49 games in the upper limit addition section are larger than the 45 games determined in the addition lottery (the number of additional games is 45 games within the range of 49 games in the upper limit addition section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 71 games (45G + 26G).

Next, the additional lottery held when the winning combination group "CH2" is won in the 44th game (trigger c) in the 1st AT normal state is won, and 8 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 130 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 61G (50G-). 44G + 10G + 45G), so the upper limit addition section is
{700-130- (61 x 8.0)} /8.0=10.2G
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 10 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 10 games is larger than the 8 games determined by the additional lottery (8 additional games are within the range of 10 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Will be 69 games (8G + 61G).

In addition, the additional lottery was held when the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 54th game (trigger d) in the 1st AT normal state, but the additional lottery was not performed because the additional lottery was lost.
Since the net increase game value (TY) up to the 54th game is 165 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 30G) and the number of remaining AT games is 56G, the upper limit addition section is
{700-165- (59 x 8.0)} /8.0=7.8G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 7 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

As shown in FIG. 32, when the game progresses in a state where the upper limit gaming value stage set corresponding to the AT mode has not reached the highest stage, as is clear from comparison with FIG. 30 If the additional section is continuously acquired, the upper limit additional section may decrease and fall below the minimum additional section that can be obtained by the additional lottery. That is, even if the upper limit game value stage is not the highest stage, if the addition is continuously acquired, the addition may not be performed based on the upper limit addition section.

FIG. 33 shows an example in which the additional lottery that is not within the range of the upper limit additional section is won and the limiter lottery is further won.
As shown in FIG. 33, the additional lottery was won when the winning combination group "CH1" was won in the 20th game (trigger a) in the 1st AT normal state, and 10 games were determined as the number of additional games. It is assumed that it has been done.

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 50 (2.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 30G (50G-20G). Therefore, the upper limit addition section is
{700-50- (30 x 8.0)} /8.0=51.25
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 51 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 51 games is larger than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (the number of additional games is 10 games within the range of 50 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 40 games (30G + 10G).

Next, in the 24th game in the normal state of the 1st AT, the player is promoted from the 1st stage (net increase of 2.5 sheets) to the 2nd stage (net increase of 3.5 sheets) by a stage promotion lottery.
Further, it is assumed that the player wins the additional lottery triggered by winning the winning combination group "WM" in the 34th game (trigger b) in the 1st AT normal state, and 45 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the upper limit game value is 700, the current game value (TY) is 95 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 10G), and the number of remaining AT games is 26G. The additional section is
{700-95- (26 x 8.0)} /8.0=49.6G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 49 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the 49 games in the upper limit addition section are larger than the 45 games determined in the addition lottery (the number of additional games is 45 games within the range of 49 games in the upper limit addition section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Is 71 games (45G + 26G).

Next, it is assumed that the additional lottery held when the winning combination group "CH2" is won in the 44th game (trigger c) in the 1st AT normal state is won, and 8 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 130 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 20G), and the current number of remaining AT games is 61G (50G-). 44G + 10G + 45G), so the upper limit addition section is
{700-130- (61 x 8.0)} /8.0=10.2G
Therefore, it is possible to add up to 10 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Since the upper limit additional section 10 games is larger than the 8 games determined by the additional lottery (8 additional games are within the range of 10 games which is the upper limit additional section), the addition is executed and the number of remaining AT games is executed. Will be 69 games (8G + 61G).

Next, in the 46th game in the 1st AT normal state, the player is promoted from the 2nd stage (net increase of 3.5) to the 3rd stage (net increase of 4.5) by a stage promotion lottery.

Further, it is assumed that the additional lottery held when the winning combination group "WM" is won in the 54th game (trigger d) in the 1st AT normal state is won, and 10 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 173 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 22G + 4.5 x 8G), and the current number of remaining AT games. Is 59G (50G-54G + 10G + 45G + 8G), so the upper limit addition section is
{700-173- (59 x 8.0)} /8.0=6.875G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 6 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Since the upper limit additional section 6 games is smaller than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (10 additional games are outside the range of the 6 games which are the upper limit additional sections), the limiter lottery is further performed.
In this example, the limiter lottery was not won and was lost, so the addition is not executed.

In this way, if the upper limit additional section is smaller than the additional section determined by the additional lottery and the limiter lottery is also lost, the player is informed that the winning combination group "WM", which is a special role, has been elected. In order not to be noticed, the liquid crystal display device 84 is made to notify the pressing order of pressing right (right stop switch R is stopped first), and among the roles included in the winning combination group "WM", "watermelon play" and "watermelon play""Bell watermelon play" does not win, but "Bell replay" wins (see Fig. 12).
That is, among the winning combinations (for example, WM), the notification mode of the stop switch 50 in which the predetermined combination (watermelon play, bell replay) is not established (winning) is notified, and the predetermined symbol, for example, " The "watermelon" design and the "cherry" design do not stop.

This is a special case where the player cannot get any other non-rare role when the "watermelon" or "cherry" pattern, which is usually the so-called rare role, is stopped and displayed. It is often thought that profits can be obtained, and even though the design corresponding to the rare role is stopped and displayed, the fact that profits such as additions cannot be obtained gives the player a sense of discomfort and distrust. This is to prevent the symbol corresponding to the rare role from being stopped and displayed because it may be possible.

It is assumed that the winning combination group "WM" was won in the 58th game (trigger e) in the 1st AT normal state, and the additional lottery was won, and 10 games were decided as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 191 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 22G + 4.5 x 12G), and the current number of remaining AT games. Is 55G (50G-58G + 10G + 45G + 8G), so the upper limit addition section is
{700-191- (55 x 8.0)} /8.0=8.625G
Therefore, in this game, it is possible to add up to 8 games rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Since the upper limit additional section 8 games is smaller than the 10 games determined by the additional lottery (10 additional games are outside the range of the 8 games which are the upper limit additional sections), the limiter lottery is further performed.
In this example, since the limiter lottery is won, the addition is executed, and the number of remaining AT games is 65 games (55G + 10G).

Then, since the limiter lottery is won, the limiter flag is set to ON, and the transition to the ending state is confirmed.
In addition, although not shown, it is suggested to the player that the limiter lottery was won by performing an effect such as a rare character appearing.

It is assumed that the player wins the additional lottery triggered by winning the winning combination group "CH1" in the 60th game (trigger) in the 1st AT normal state, and 20 games are determined as the number of additional games.

In this case, the maximum game value is 700, the current net increase game value (TY) is 200 (2.5 x 24G + 3.5 x 22G + 4.5 x 14G), and the current number of remaining AT games. Is 63 (50G-60G + 10G + 45G + 8G + 10G).

Since the limiter flag is ON, the number of additional games is added as it is without referring to the upper limit additional section, and the number of remaining AT games is 83 games (63G + 20G).
In addition, the limiter flag is kept ON, and if the additional lottery is won after this game, the additional lottery is executed without referring to the upper limit additional section.

In this example, the current net increase game value (TY) used for calculating the upper limit addition section described above is the number of digested games (for example, 20 G) in addition to the net increase number (for example, 2.5 sheets) according to the stage. ), But in reality, it is not such a simulation, but a net increase in the number of cards that is actually derived based on the game value given to the player. That is, the current value for net increase game used for calculating the upper limit addition section may fluctuate from the simulation, not according to the simulation.
For example, when the number of digested games is 20, the value for net increase games is 2.5 x 20G, 50 if the simulation is followed, but if the winning of the push order is less than expected, etc. , The number less than 50 is the current value for the net increase game.

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 34)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 34, 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 rotation 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 the flow of the additional lottery using FIG. 35)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 35, a general additional lottery process executed by the advantageous section control means 260 for each game will be described.

In step S20, in the combination lottery performed in step S11 of FIG. 34, it is determined whether or not a combination that triggers the additional lottery, for example, the winning combination group "CH1" or the like has been won. If it is determined that the winning combination that triggers the additional lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S21. On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning combination that triggers the additional lottery has been won, the process ends.

In step S21, an additional lottery is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S22.
In step S22, it is determined whether or not the additional lottery performed in step S21 has been won. If it is determined that the additional lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S23. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the additional lottery has been won, the process ends.

In step S23, a game number lottery for determining the number of games to be added is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S24.
In step S24, it is determined whether or not the limiter flag is ON. If it is not determined that the limiter flag is ON, that is, if the limiter flag is OFF, the process proceeds to the next step S25.

In step S25, it is determined whether or not the number of games to be added determined by the number of games lottery performed in step S23 is within the range of the upper limit addition section. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S26.
Here, the "upper limit addition section" referred to in step S25 is calculated and stored in advance by the formula shown in FIG. 27 at the timing before shifting to the step (for example, after the end of the previous game). The timing for calculating the upper limit addition section can also be performed after the winning combination lottery in step S20, after the addition lottery in step S21, and after the number of games lottery in step S23.

In step S26, if it is determined as a result of the determination performed in step S25 described above that it is within the range of the upper limit addition section, the process proceeds to the next step S27.

In step S27, a process is executed in which the number of games determined by the game number lottery performed in step S23 described above is added to the number of remaining AT games in the first AT normal state, and that fact is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 84. Is notified to the player. Then, the process ends.

In step S26 described above, if it is not determined within the range of the upper limit addition section as a result of the determination performed in step S25, that is, if the upper limit addition section is exceeded, the process proceeds to step S28 and the limiter lottery is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S29.

In step S29, it is determined whether or not the limiter lottery performed in step S28 described above has been won. If it is not determined that the limiter lottery has been won, that is, if the limiter lottery is lost, the process proceeds to the next step S30.
In step S30, the liquid crystal display device 84 is notified of the right push as a notification of the push order so that the player does not know that the winning combination that triggers the additional lottery is won. Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step S24 described above that the limiter flag is ON, and if it is determined in step S29 that the limiter lottery performed in step S28 has been won, the process proceeds to step S31.
In step S31, a process is executed in which the number of games determined by the game number lottery performed in step S23 described above is added to the number of remaining AT games in the first AT normal state, and that fact is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 84. Is notified to the player. In addition, the limiter flag is turned ON. And end the process

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.

(Modification example)
In the above-described embodiment, there are two scenarios, a base navigation scenario (see FIG. 19) and a navigation scenario (see FIG. 20), but the present invention is not limited to these.
In this modification, the base navigation scenario (see FIG. 19) has the same as the above-described embodiment, but does not have the navigation scenario (see FIG. 20).
Specifically, in this modification, unlike the navigation scenario shown in FIG. 20, the lottery probability is not determined in advance in a predetermined order, and the symbols as shown in the margin of FIG. 20 are not provided. Navigation modes 0 to 6 corresponding to seven types of navigation lottery probabilities from 0 to 6 are set.
In this modification, instead of having the navigation scenario as described above, when the navigation precursor is advanced, the initial (initial) navigation mode and the navigation lottery corresponding to the navigation mode are performed by the initial navigation mode lottery described later. Every time the probability is determined and the navigation lottery is won, the navigation mode promotion lottery described later is performed.

Here, the "initial navigation mode lottery" will be described more specifically.
For example, it has symbols shown in the margin of FIG. 20, so-called navigation modes "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", and "6", and corresponds to each navigation mode. The navigation lottery probabilities are set to 1/32, 1/25, 1/20, 1/15, 1/10, 1/8, and 1/6, respectively.
In the initial navigation mode lottery, the lottery probabilities separately set for each navigation mode (for example, navigation mode "0": 1/7, "1": 1/7, "2": 1/7, "3": 1/7, "4": 1/7, "5": 1/7, "6": 1/7, of course, not limited to these numbers, etc. The initial navigation mode of any one of the above "0" to "6" is determined by lottery using (may be the numerical value of).

Next, the "navigation mode promotion lottery" will be described more specifically.
When the "predetermined combination" is won, any of the numerical values (addition values 0, +1, +2, +3) determined by lottery will be added to the above navigation modes (symbols) 0 to 6. Navi mode to add value) A promotion lottery is performed, and the navigation mode (symbol) corresponding to the added value obtained by adding the added value determined by the lottery is set as a new navigation mode (symbol), and after the addition. The navigation lottery probability corresponding to the new navigation mode (symbol) as a numerical value is used.

Specifically, for example, when the vehicle advances to the precursory state, the initial navigation mode (symbol) before the promotion lottery of the navigation scenario is performed by the above-mentioned initial navigation mode lottery is "1" shown in FIG. It is assumed that the lottery probability is 1/25 corresponding to the "1". At this time, as a result of the combination lottery, if the above-mentioned "predetermined combination" (for example, "bell replay") is won, the navigation mode promotion lottery is performed, and as a result, "+1" is determined as the additional value. do. As a result, the numerical value "2" in which the addition value "+1" is added to the navigation mode (symbol) "1" before the promotion lottery is set as the new navigation mode (symbol), and the navigation mode "2" is set. The above-mentioned lottery probability 1/20 (see FIG. 20) is included as a new navigation lottery probability.
Here, in the navigation mode promotion lottery corresponding to the above-mentioned navigation scenario, 6 is set as the maximum value after the addition of the addition values (0, +1, +2, +3), and after the addition, 6 is set. When the numerical value is 6 or more, the navigation mode (symbol) is set to 6.

In this modified example, the base navigation scenario has the contents described in the above-described embodiment as shown in FIG. 19, and only for the navigation scenario, the order of the navigation lottery probability as shown in FIG. 20 is set in advance. There is no set one, and the navigation lottery probability is set by the initial navigation mode lottery and the navigation mode promotion lottery as described in the above-described modified example, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this.
For example, the navigation scenario has contents in which the navigation lottery probabilities are set in a predetermined order as described in the above-described embodiment as shown in FIG. 20, and only the base navigation scenario is shown in FIG. There is no one in which the order of the navigation lottery probability is set in advance as shown, and the navigation lottery probability is obtained by the initial navigation mode lottery and the navigation mode promotion lottery in which the contents explained in this modification described above are applied to the base navigation scenario. May be set.
Here, in the navigation mode promotion lottery corresponding to the above-mentioned base navigation scenario, 4 is set as the maximum value after the addition of the addition values (0, +1, +2, +3), and after the addition. When the value of is 4 or more, the navigation mode (symbol) is set to 4.

Furthermore, instead of sharing both the base navigation scenario as shown in FIG. 19 and the navigation scenario as shown in FIG. 20, instead of the base navigation scenario and the navigation scenario, both the base navigation scenario and the navigation scenario are navigated. As for the lottery probability, the navigation lottery probability may be set by the initial navigation mode lottery and the navigation mode promotion lottery as described in the present modification described above.
In such a case, in the navigation mode promotion lottery corresponding to the above-mentioned navigation scenario, 6 is set as the maximum value after addition of the addition values (0, +1, +2, +3) as in the above-mentioned explanation. If the value after addition is 6 or more, the navigation mode (symbol) is set to 6.
Further, in the navigation mode promotion lottery corresponding to the above-mentioned base navigation scenario, 4 is set as the maximum value after addition of the added values (0, +1, +2, +3) as in the above-mentioned explanation. , When the value after addition is 4 or more, the navigation mode (symbol) is set to 4 in all cases.

In this modification, the navigation scenario, the base navigation scenario, and other data are not available, and the navigation lottery probability is determined by the initial navigation mode lottery and the navigation mode promotion lottery as described above. In addition to being able to reduce the number of navigation lottery, the navigation lottery probability is generated by determining the navigation lottery probability by lottery instead of the predetermined multiple types of fixed order as in the navigation scenario and base navigation scenario. The order can be changed constantly, rather than in a particular pattern, and can be surprising.

(others)
In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the notification lottery for notifying the push order is set for each stage, and it is determined whether or not the push order is notified based on the winning probability.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each time the result of the game is obtained, the net increase number per game is calculated, and the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is notified based on the calculated net increase number (push order navigation). By controlling the above, a variable net increase in the number of cards per game, which is set in the AT state, may be realized.

For example, when the stage is the first stage, the push order is notified so that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 2.5. That is, if the net increase in the number of cards per game exceeds 2.5, or if the net increase in the number of cards exceeds the predetermined range from 2.5, the push order and the push order even if the winning combination is won in the winning combination lottery. The notification of the operation timing of the first stop is not performed. Similarly, for example, in the case of the fifth stage, the push order and the operation timing of the first stop are notified so that the net increase in the number of cards per game is 8.0.

In addition, when the stage shifts to a different stage in the middle of the first AT normal state, the push order role is based on the expected value corresponding to the stage after the transition and the net increase in the game value given after the transition. (ATLC1 to ATRC2)), it is determined whether or not to notify the pressing order of the stop switch 50 and the operation timing of the first stop.
That is, in the middle of the 1st AT normal state, for example, when the player is promoted from the 1st stage to the 2nd stage, the push is made based on the expected value after the transition to the 2nd stage and the net increase in the number of sheets per game after the transition. It is determined whether or not to notify the operation mode of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the forward combination.

More specifically, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the push order combination (ATLC1 to ATRC2) so that the net increase in the number of sheets per game in the running stage does not exceed the expected value in the running stage. Decide whether or not to notify.
That is, when the push order combination (ATLC1 to ATRC2) is won by the combination lottery, even if the combination wins, if the expected value of the running stage is not exceeded, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is notified. I am trying to do it. To put it the other way around, if the winning combination exceeds the expected value of the stage being executed, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is not notified.

Here, whether or not the net increase in the number of cards per game in the running stage exceeds the expected value in the running stage is performed every game regardless of the winning of the push order, but is limited to this. Instead, it may be performed when the push order is won.

If the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is notified in the game when the push order combination is won, the notification is not made if the net increase in the number of sheets per game at the stage exceeds the expected value per game at the stage. However, it is not limited to this, and if the net increase in the number of games per game up to the previous game at the time of winning the push order does not exceed the expected value, it will be exceeded if notified. Even if it is, the notification may be made.

In addition, if the player wins the push order in the first game in the 1st AT normal state or the 1st game when the stage is promoted in the middle of the 1st AT normal state, the net increase per game in the running stage. It is also possible to notify the notification mode of the stop switch 50 without determining whether or not the number of sheets exceeds the expected value. If the notification mode of the stop switch 50 is notified in the first game, the expected value of the stage being executed will be exceeded. The mode will not be notified. However, with such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest in the start of the first AT normal state and the promotion of the stage.

In the present embodiment, if the additional game section is within the range of the upper limit additional section, the additional game section is added, and if it is not within the range, the additional game section is added when the limiter lottery is won.
Similarly, if the additional game section is added and the upper limit game value, which is the upper limit of the game value that can be obtained during the 1st AT normal state of one set, is exceeded, the additional game is won when the limiter lottery is won. The section may be added.

That is, when the maximum game value that can be obtained is 500 and the remaining 10 cards are up to the maximum game value, and if "10G" is drawn as an additional game section, the game value given to the player According to the expected value, if adding "10G" exceeds the upper limit game value, the addition will be made only when the limiter lottery is won, and the advantageous section can be played up to the upper limit game section, that is, the transition to the ending state. Is being confirmed.

Further, by configuring in this way, for example, in the first AT normal state in which the maximum game value that can be acquired (for example, 500 cards) is displayed (for example, a fractional notation such as "?? / 500"). , If the remaining number of cards that can be acquired up to the maximum game value is small (for example, 10 remaining cards, "490/500") and an additional effect of "+ 5G" occurs, it will be acquired by this additional game. If the expected number of cards is clearly larger than the remaining number of cards that can be obtained (10 cards), when the 1st AT normal state is ended (all AT games are exhausted), the 1st AT normal state is reached. Since the value for the upper limit game (500 sheets) set for the game will be exceeded, the player should notify the player that the arrival of the upper limit game section of the advantageous section has been confirmed through the occurrence of the additional effect. can.

Since the remaining number of cards that can be obtained is determined by the player counting himself / herself, it is not necessary to display the first AT in the normal state, and the upper limit game value is suggested through some kind of production. Since it is sufficient to set it, it is not necessary to display the state in the normal state of the 1st AT.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of playing up to the upper limit gaming section before it is determined that the upper limit gaming section is reached by the addition.
