The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating a random number for lottery. In the present embodiment, the “random number” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but also is substantially irregular because the acquisition timing and the like are irregular even if the generation itself is regular. It also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not a combination is successful based on a start signal output when the player executes a start operation on the start lever SL and the start switch 230 detects the start operation. It is a means to perform, such as a lottery table selection process, a random number determination process, and a lottery flag setting process.

In the lottery table selection process, among a plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage means 192 of the storage means 190, which internal lottery table is used for the internal lottery is selected based on the current gaming state. do. In each internal lottery table, each of a plurality of random numbers (for example, 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535) is associated with various roles such as replays, small wins and bonuses, and unwinning (loss). ..

In the following description, the bonus means a role of operating the accessory or the accessory continuous operation device by winning a prize, and the bonus operation means the bonus winning the accessory or the accessory continuous operation device. It means that it operates, and the bonus state means a state in which the accessory or the accessory continuous actuating device is activated.

In the random number determination process, a random number (random number for lottery) generated by the random number generation means 110 for each game is acquired based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. It is compared with the lottery table, and it is determined whether or not the winning combination is won based on the comparison result.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination is set from the non-established state (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations is set in the established state. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the established state is not carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. There is a lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to the non-established state. Further, the lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage means 193 of the storage means 190.

The reel control means 130 starts the rotation drive of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by the player executing the start operation to the start lever SL. The reel rotation control for controlling the rotation mode of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 is executed. Further, the reel control means 130 has a stop button B1 to a stop corresponding to each reel when the rotation state of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 becomes a rotation state of steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm). When the button B3 is pressed, the control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 is executed. Then, when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 that has detected the stop operation, the reel control means 130 stops each reel of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 corresponding to the stop switch 240 that has detected the stop operation. Control (reel stop control).

In the following description, the reel control means 130 starts the rotation of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3, and the player presses the effective stop buttons B1 to B3, respectively, as the first pressing operation. The first stop operation, the second pressing operation are also referred to as a second stop operation, and the third pressing operation is also described as a third stop operation.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, for the left reel R1 to the right reel R3, 190 ms as a predetermined period from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed (the time when the stop switch 240 detects the stop operation) is set. By the time it elapses, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined from the diameter and rotation speed of each reel, and the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable for up to 4 frames before it is done.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, for the left reel R1 to the right reel R3, a total of 5 frames from the frame displayed on the effective line L1 at the time of pressing the stop button to the rotation of 4 frames are effective. It is a range (pull-in range) in which the symbol can be pulled in on the line L1.

When the reel stop control is executed, the reel control means 130 has a pull-in process for stopping the rotating reel so that the winning combination for which the lottery flag is set can be won as much as possible, and the lottery flag is not set. A logic operation to find the stop position of the rotating reel based on a preset priority by a logic operation including a kicking process that stops the spinning reel so that the winning combination set in the established state cannot be won. Processing and table reference processing for determining the stop position of the spinning reel with reference to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 194 of the storage means 190 are performed to stop the rotating reel. The symbol is displayed on the effective line L1 (hereinafter, stopping the rotating reel by the reel stop control and displaying the symbol on the effective line L1 is also described as "stop display").

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the method of obtaining the priority of the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of types of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1. There are a method of obtaining priority (number priority control) and a method of obtaining priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a predetermined dividend for a small winning combination (number priority control). However, when executing the number priority control, if small wins with the same payout are won in duplicate, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win each small win is assumed to be the same. Be treated.

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stop mode of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3. Specifically, the winning determination table of the storage means 190 is displayed on the effective line L1 when all of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 are stopped while referring to the winning determination table stored in the storage means 195. It is determined whether or not each of the symbol combinations is in the form of winning a predetermined combination. Then, the winning judgment table is set so that it can be judged whether or not a bonus, a replay, or a small winning combination has been won (hereinafter referred to as "winning judgment") by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared. In the following description, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the winning combination is also described as "winning symbol combination".

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when a small winning combination wins, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and when the replay wins a prize. Causes the replay processing means 160 to perform a process of executing the game without consuming medals in the next game, and when a winning combination that triggers the transition of the game state such as a bonus is won, the game state transition control means 170 is used to perform the game state. Is performed.

The payout control means 150 performs a payout process for paying out medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on the predetermined dividend for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are used as the payout device. Control is performed so that the hopper unit 320 is paid out.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the number of medals specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. If medals are allowed to be credited, the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit 320. A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of medals) is performed to virtually pay out medals.

When the winning determination means 140 determines that the symbol combination indicating the winning of any one of the plurality of types of replay combinations described later is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1, the replay processing means 160 stops and displays the winning of the replay. Performs a replay process (replay process) that sets the game to a ready state so that the game can be executed without the need to insert medals for the next game. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a replay wins a prize, an automatic insertion process is performed in which a specified number of medals are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). We wait for the next start operation for the start lever SL with the same effective line L1 as the previous game set.

The game state transition control means 170 performs a process of shifting the game state between a plurality of game states and a process of operating and ending the bonus. Here, as the transition condition of each gaming state, one condition may be defined or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When multiple conditions are defined, the game is based on the fact that any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied, or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. The state can be transferred to another gaming state.

The effect control means 180 is performed by using, for example, an image or video effect performed by using the display device 330 as the effect display device or the sound device 340 based on the effect data stored in the effect control data storage means 196. Controls game-related effects such as sound effects. Specifically, when the player operates each configuration of the slot machine 1 for inserting a medal, operating a single bet button BT, a max bet button MB, a start lever SL, a stop button B1 to a stop button B3, or a game. When a game event such as a change in state occurs, the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 start rotating with the lamp and LED lighting or blinking, the sound output from the sound device 340, and the start signal output from the start switch 230. By executing an effect using the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 that delays the game, the effect of enlivening the game and the execution control of the effect for assisting the game are performed.

Further, the effect control means 180 causes each configuration constituting the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 acquires a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation means 110 for each lottery process using the random number, and a plurality of effect lottery stored in the effect control data storage means 196. Among the tables, each lottery process is executed using the effect lottery table required for each lottery process.

In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 provides the content notified by the winning assistance when the AT control means 200 executes the winning assistance (for example, notification of the correct batting order when the winning area "batting order bell 1" is won, etc.). A prize-winning auxiliary effect to be notified by an effect using the effect device 300 is executed.

The AT control means 200 is based on an advantageous section (advantageous period), which is a section (period) in which an auxiliary game capable of executing a winning assist that assists a winning of a specific combination is executed, and a result of an internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. The AT control data storage means 197 stores the control related to the transition between the normal section (non-advantageous period, non-advantageous section), which is the section (period) in which the control related to the auxiliary game is not executed, and the game is executed. Execute using the data that is being used. The AT control data storage means 197 includes an advantageous section transition lottery table used in the advantageous section transition lottery for determining whether or not to start the advantageous section in the normal section, and an AT state and a non-AT state executed in the advantageous section. Data used in various controls related to a plurality of types of effect states including the above (various flags, counters, etc. set in the ON state or the OFF state by a predetermined control process) are stored.

The AT control means 200 sets the effect state to the AT state (assist time state) under a predetermined condition in the advantageous section, and makes it possible to win a specific winning combination in the main control display device 500 composed of the 7-segment display. By displaying information (an example of operation instruction information) corresponding to the operation order (correct answer batting order) of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, the winning assistance (correct answer batting order notification) for assisting the winning of a specific combination is performed. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning assistance by the AT control means 200 is executed, the effect control means 180 executes the winning assistance effect of displaying the index corresponding to the correct batting order on the display device 330. As described above, in the slot machine 1, in the AT state, the operation mode of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is notified by the winning assistance, so that the auxiliary game (AT game, notification game) advantageous to the player is executed. To.

The AT control means 200 ends the advantageous section and starts the normal section from the next game when a predetermined end condition for ending the advantageous section, which will be described in detail later, is satisfied, and various flags set in the advantageous section. The termination process as a predetermined initialization process, which is a process of initializing information related to an advantageous section such as a numerical value, is executed. Further, the AT control means 200 starts the advantageous section and turns on the section notification unit 500A when the expected value of winning a medal becomes 1 or more by executing the winning assistance. Therefore, the AT control means 200 is configured to be able to turn off the section notification unit 500A even when the advantageous section is started, when the winning assistance is not executed.

The AT control means 200 sets a value "1500" as an initial value in the first advantageous section counter 197a in the game in which the advantageous section is started, and each time the game is executed, the value corresponds to one game. A certain value "1" is subtracted from the value (stored value) stored in the first advantageous section counter 197a, and the game number update process for cumulatively updating the stored value of the first advantageous section counter 197a is executed. Further, the AT control means 200 performs a difference number update process in which the value (difference number) obtained by subtracting the number of medals paid out from the game that started the advantageous section by the number of medals inserted is cumulatively recorded in the second advantageous section counter 197b. Execute.

When the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is controlled in an advantageous section, the value “1” is a value corresponding to one game each time one game is executed, regardless of the gaming state. The game number update process of cumulatively subtracting (updating) to the stored value of the first advantageous section counter 197a and the value corresponding to the difference number of medals are cumulatively updated to the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b. Execute the difference number update process.

Here, in the difference number update process for updating the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b, the AT control means 200 determines that the number of medals paid out in the game is less than the specified number of inputs, so that the second advantageous section counter 197b If the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is less than the value "0" when the stored value is subtracted, the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is set to the value "0". As a result, the AT control means 200 can fix the value when the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b becomes the lowest point to the value "0", so that the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b can be fixed. In the control process using the above, it is no longer necessary to change the value that is the threshold value for determination according to the specific numerical value at the lowest point, and the load of the control process using the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is reduced. be able to.

When the AT control means 200 has executed 1500 games, that is, when the stored value of the first advantageous section counter 197a becomes the value "0" as the first value, or when the most medals are consumed in the advantageous section. When the player has acquired more than 2400 medals, that is, when the value "2401" is reached from the time when the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is the lowest value (lowest point), the advantageous section It is determined that the specific end condition is satisfied as the predetermined end condition for ending the game, and the predetermined end process for ending the advantageous section and starting the normal section from the next game is executed.

In the predetermined end processing, the AT control means 200 initializes all the information used in various control processing in the advantageous section such as each flag set in the ON state in the advantageous section and the value set in the advantageous section. The AT control means 200 can end the advantageous section even when a predetermined end condition (normal end condition) set in advance other than the specific end condition is satisfied, and even when the normal end condition is satisfied. Execute the termination process. The details of the normal termination condition set by the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment will be described later.

The winning probability is set to be higher than the total winning probability of "Bell 8" and the winning area "Batting Order Chance 4".

With such a configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a higher probability of winning all small wins in the bonus state than in the non-RT state when the bonus is not activated and when the bonus is established. At the same time, the probability of winning one of the small roles is also increased.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the winning area "all small roles" in the bonus state is the probability of winning in any of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" (winning area "winning area". It is configured to be lower than the winning probability of the sum of the winning probabilities of the batting order bell 1 "to the winning area" batting order bell 12 ".

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of specific small winning combinations (bells A to L) set to a batting order larger than the number of input of the game value required at the start of the game are mutually arranged. Multiple types of first small winning combination winning modes (winning area "batting order bell 1" to winning area "batting order bell 12") and multiple types of specific small winning combination are duplicated. It has a second small winning combination winning mode (winning area "all small winning combination"), and the internal lottery means 120 has a plurality of types of first small winning combination in a normal gaming state (non-RT state) and a bonus establishment state. The internal lottery is performed so that the winning mode exists, and the internal lottery is performed so that the second small winning combination winning mode exists in the bonus state. Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the second small winning combination in the internal lottery in the bonus state is one of a plurality of types of the first small winning combination in the internal lottery in the normal game state and the bonus established state. It is lower than the probability of winning, and the winning probability of each small win in the internal lottery in the bonus state is configured to be equal to or higher than the winning probability of each small win in the internal lottery in the normal game state and the bonus established state. ing.

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

Here, in the state where the bonus is established, when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, and the winning bell A -Since the configuration is such that the bell A to the bell L cannot be won unless the first stop operation is executed at the pressing timing at which the bell L can be won, the probability that any of the bell A to the bell L will be won is 6. It is limited to the case where the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 can be pressed in the correct batting order from the batting order of the type, and the first stop operation is executed at an appropriate pressing timing set within the range of 10 frames out of 20 frames. Therefore, the probability that any of Bell A to Bell L will win at the time of winning in the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Bell 12" is set to 1/12.

On the other hand, when the AT game in which the winning assistance is executed is executed by the AT control means 200 described later, the correct batting order is notified when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won. In addition, the pressing timing at which the bells A to L can be won is notified by the winning auxiliary effect by the effect control means 180, so that the bells A to L can be reliably won. The probability that any of the bells L will win can be increased up to 12 times compared to the case where the winning assistance is not executed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as a winning combination (specific combination) in which more medals than the specified number of medals to be awarded are paid out when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation is appropriate. , Bell A to Bell L are set. Then, the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the bonus state is compressed to about 1/12 of the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the gaming state other than the bonus state. With this configuration, an internal lottery is performed with a mode in which N types of specific roles are won without overlapping each other in a game state other than the bonus state, and N types of specific roles are won in duplicate in the bonus state. The probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a bonus state will be reduced to about 1 / N of the probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a gaming state other than the bonus state. Can be compressed. As a result, the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state can be lowered to less than 100%, and then the medal acquisition performance related to the AT game can be designed. The degree of freedom in design can be dramatically improved.

<AT control means>
FIG. 10 is a state transition diagram showing details of a normal section and an advantageous section controlled by the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment and an effect state controlled during the advantageous section.

As described above, the normal section is a period during which control regarding the auxiliary game based on the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 is not executed. The AT control means 200 is a lottery for determining whether or not to end the normal section and start the advantageous section based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 in the game in the normal section. To execute.

In the advantageous section lottery, first, the AT control means 200 receives data from the AT control data storage means 197 in which "start of advantageous section" and "loss (unwinning)" are associated with each of the plurality of random numbers. Acquire the advantageous section transition lottery table which is a table. Then, the AT control means 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous section transition lottery table, and determines whether or not to start the advantageous section based on the comparison result.

The AT control means 200 multiplies the winning probability of the winning area won in the internal lottery and the winning probability of "start of the advantageous section" in the advantageous section lottery so that the probability is 1/17500 or more. To execute.

The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment has a winning area "batting order bell 1" to a winning area "batting order bell 12", a winning area "batting order chance 1" to a winning area "batting order chance 4", and a winning in an internal lottery in a non-RT state. If you win the area "rare role", the winning area "normal replay 1", the winning area "rare replay", the winning area "RBB & 1 card role", and the winning area "batting order bell 1" ~ winning in the internal lottery when the bonus is established Area "Batting Order Bell 12", Winning Area "Batting Order Chance 1" -Winning Area "Batting Order Chance 4", Winning Area "Rare Role", Winning Area "Normal Replay 1", Winning Area "Rare Replay", Winning Area "1 Sheet" It is configured so that the advantageous section lottery is not executed when the winning combination is won and when the advantageous section lottery is executed and the other winning areas are won. Further, the AT control means 200 executes an advantageous section lottery that wins the "start of the advantageous section" with a high probability of about 1 / 1.5.

In the advantageous section, the AT control means 200 is in a non-AT state (first state) as an effect state in which the winning assistance of the bells A to L at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" is not executed. ), And has an AT state (second state) as a production state in which winning assistance of bells A to L at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" can be executed. There is. Further, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the stay ratio of the advantageous section in the entire game can be 70% or more.

In the present embodiment, the AT control means 200 has a stop button B1 that is advantageous for the player when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won by the internal lottery in the non-AT state. As the operation order of the stop button B3, the winning auxiliary control for notifying the operation order of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in which the number of small winning combinations increases is executed. Specifically, the AT control means 200 makes it possible to win a special small winning combination A and a special small winning combination B when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won in the non-AT state. Of the batting order (set batting order), the winning auxiliary control (set batting order notification control) for notifying the stop button set in the first stop operation is executed. As the set batting order notification control, the AT control means 200 causes the main control display device 500 to display a display mode displayed only when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won in the internal lottery.

Further, when the effect control means 180 wins the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" in the internal lottery in the non-AT state and the set batting order notification control is executed by the AT control means 200, The winning auxiliary effect of displaying the first winning auxiliary effect index 330a (see FIG. 16) for notifying the stop button for executing the first stop operation is executed on the display device 330. The details of the winning auxiliary effect executed by the effect control means 180 when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won in the internal lottery in the non-AT state will be described later.

The non-AT state is a production state corresponding to the normal state among a plurality of types of production states to be set, such as a case where the normal section is shifted to an advantageous section and a case where the advantageous section continues after the end of the AT state (normal). Production state). In the present embodiment, the AT control means 200 has a non-AT mode as a variable used when executing various controls related to the auxiliary game in the non-AT state.

The non-AT mode is composed of five types of modes, a first non-AT mode to a fifth non-AT mode, and the first non-AT mode <second non-AT mode <third non-AT mode <fourth non-AT mode. <The fifth non-AT mode is the mode in which the control advantageous to the player is executed in this order. The AT control means 200 executes a start non-AT mode lottery to determine which mode to set, the first non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, when the normal section is shifted to the advantageous section, and the lottery is performed. The non-AT mode determined by the above method is stored in the non-AT mode storage area 197e of the AT control data storage means 197.

After setting the non-AT mode based on the start of the advantageous section, the AT control means 200 determines the initial value to be set in the non-AT game number counter 197c that counts the number of games in the non-AT state. To execute. In the start non-AT game number lottery, the AT control means 200 acquires a lottery table corresponding to the non-AT mode stored in the non-AT mode storage area 197e.

In each lottery table used in the start non-AT game number lottery, the lottery value number is associated with the value "200", the value "400", the value "600", and the value "800", respectively, and the first non-AT game number is used. The number of lottery values is associated so that the winning probability of a small value increases in the order of mode <second non-AT mode <third non-AT mode <fourth non-AT mode <fifth non-AT mode. Further, in each lottery table used in the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, the number of lottery values is not associated with the value "800", and the value "200", the value "400", and the value. It is configured to win any of the "600".

The AT control means 200 sets a value determined by the non-AT game number lottery at the start as an initial value of the non-AT game number counter 197c, and each time a game is executed, the stored value of the non-AT game number counter 197c is set to one game. The decrement update is executed by subtracting with the value "1" corresponding to. The AT control means 200 is more advantageous than the set non-AT mode every time the stored value of the non-AT game number counter 197c is subtracted by 100, that is, every time 100 games are played in the non-AT state. Execute a mode transition lottery to determine whether or not to transition to the mode. In the mode transition lottery, for example, when the first non-AT mode is set, the AT control means 200 determines by lottery whether or not to shift the set non-AT mode to the second non-AT mode. That is, it is determined by lottery whether or not to shift to a mode that is one step more advantageous than the currently set non-AT mode.

When the storage value of the non-AT game number counter 197c becomes the value "0", the AT control means 200 determines that the condition for shifting to the AT state is satisfied, and shifts the effect state from the non-AT state to the AT state. do. Further, the AT control means 200 has a case where the winning area "rare role" is won by an internal lottery, a case where the winning area "rare replay" is won, and a case where the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4". In the case where the special small winning combination A and the special small winning combination B are won in duplicate (duplicate winning), an AT lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT state is executed, and in the AT lottery, "AT" is executed. When "Transition to state" is won, the effect state is changed from the non-AT state to the AT state.

Further, when the AT control means 200 shifts from the AT state to the non-AT state, the AT control means 200 executes a process related to the setting of the non-AT mode according to the content of the game in the AT state. When the AT control means 200 ends the AT state and shifts to the non-AT state after the game is executed in a state where at least one of the first AT mode to the fifth AT mode, which will be described later, is set in the AT state, the AT control means 200 shifts to the non-AT state. The first end mode lottery for determining the non-AT mode is executed. In the first end mode lottery, the AT control means 200 acquires the lottery table corresponding to the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b.

In each lottery table used in the first end mode lottery, the number of lottery values is associated with the first non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, and the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is a value "500". In the lottery table selected when it is less than, the probability of winning any of the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode is the probability of winning either the first non-AT mode or the second non-AT mode. The second non-AT mode is won in the lottery table selected when the storage value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is set to be higher than or higher than the value "500" and is less than the value "1500". The probability is set to be higher than the probability of winning in any of the first non-AT mode and the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, and the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is a value "1500" or more. In the lottery table selected in the above case, the probability of winning the first non-AT mode is set to be higher than the probability of winning any of the second non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode.

On the other hand, in the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment, when the AT state ends without the AT mode being set in the AT state and the effect state shifts to the non-AT state, the AT mode is not set in the AT state. The specific AT flag indicating that the automatic transmission is set to the ON state, and the second end mode lottery for determining the non-AT mode is executed. In the second end mode lottery, the AT control means 200 acquires the lottery table based on the currently set non-AT mode.

In each lottery table used in the second end mode lottery, the number of lottery values is associated with the first non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, respectively, and the first non-AT mode <second non-AT mode <second non-AT mode < In the order of 3 non-AT mode <4th non-AT mode, the number of lottery values is associated so that the winning probability of the non-AT mode, which is advantageous for the player, increases. Further, among the lottery tables used in the second end mode lottery, the lottery table used when the currently set non-AT mode is the second non-AT mode to the fourth non-AT mode is not at the start. It is configured so that the probability of winning any of the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode is higher than the lottery table used in the AT mode lottery.

In the slot machine 1, when the effect state shifts to the AT state while the fifth non-AT mode is set, the AT mode is always set, and the second end mode lottery is executed. Therefore, the lottery table corresponding to the case of the fifth non-AT mode is not provided.

After shifting from the AT state to the non-AT state and setting the non-AT mode, the AT control means 200 executes a start non-AT game number lottery for determining an initial value to be set in the non-AT game number counter 197c. In the start non-AT game number lottery, when the specific AT flag is in the OFF state, the AT control means 200 executes the same process as the start non-AT game number lottery executed at the start of the advantageous section. On the other hand, when the specific AT flag is in the ON state, the AT control means 200 uses a lottery table different from the lottery table used in the start non-AT game number lottery executed at the start of the advantageous section, and is not at the start. Execute a lottery during the number of AT games.

When the specific AT flag is ON, the value "in the lottery table used when the first non-AT mode is set and the lottery table used when the second non-AT mode is set". It is configured to win the value "400" almost certainly (for example, about 99.5%) and to win the value "400" very rarely (for example, about 0.5%). Further, when the specific AT flag is ON, the lottery table used when the third non-AT mode is set, the lottery table used when the fourth non-AT mode is set, and the fifth. In the lottery table used when the non-AT mode is set, the value "400" is won with a high probability (for example, about 85%), and the value "600" is won with a low probability (for example, about 15%). Each is configured to do.

Further, after shifting from the AT state to the non-AT state and setting the non-AT mode, the AT control means 200 sets an initial value set in the advantageous section end determination counter 197d for counting the number of games until the advantageous section is ended. Execute a lottery for the number of games that end the advantageous section. In the advantageous section end game number lottery, the AT control means 200 acquires the corresponding lottery table with reference to the non-AT mode stored in the non-AT mode storage area 197e.

In each lottery table used in the advantageous section end game number lottery, the lottery value number is associated with the value corresponding to the set non-AT mode, and the lottery table is selected in the first non-AT mode. Then, the lottery value number is associated with the value in the range of the value "50" to the value "100", and in the lottery table selected in the first non-AT mode, the value "50" to the value "100" The number of lottery values is associated with the values in the range, and in the lottery table selected in the second non-AT mode, the number of lottery values is associated with the values in the range of values "150" to "190". In each lottery table selected in the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, the number of lottery values is associated with the value in the range of the value "700" to the value "750".

The AT control means 200 sets the value determined by the lottery for the number of advantageous section end games as the initial value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d, and each time the game is executed, the stored value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d is set to one game. Executes a decrement update to be subtracted by the corresponding value "1". When the storage value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d becomes the value "0", the AT control means 200 determines that the normal end condition among the end conditions of the advantageous section is satisfied, and initializes the information regarding the advantageous section. A predetermined initialization process, which is a process to be performed, and a predetermined end process of ending the advantageous section and starting the normal section from the next game are executed.

Due to such a configuration, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the AT state ends and the non-AT state starts, the set non-AT mode is the first non-AT mode or the second non-AT mode. In the AT mode, the storage value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d becomes the value "0" before the storage value of the non-AT game number counter 197c becomes the value "0", and the storage value of the non-AT game number counter 197c is stored. The advantageous section ends without the transition to the AT state based on the value becoming the value "0".

Further, in the slot machine 1, when the AT state ends and the non-AT state starts, if the set non-AT mode is the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode, the advantageous section ends. Before the storage value of the judgment counter 197d becomes the value "0", the storage value of the non-AT game number counter 197c becomes the value "0", and the storage value of the advantageous section end judgment counter 197d becomes the value "0". The transition to the AT state based on the storage value of the non-AT game number counter 197c becoming the value "0" is executed without executing the predetermined termination process based on the above.

The AT state is a state in which an auxiliary game in which winning assistance of bells A to L is executed when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" is won can be executed. The AT control means 200 causes the main control display device 500 to display a display notifying the correct batting order that enables the bells A to L to win as a winning aid in the AT state.

Further, the effect control means 180 of the present embodiment executes a prize assist effect that notifies the display device 330 of the correct batting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation when the AT control means 200 executes the prize assist. .. The effect control means 180 notifies the stop button for executing the first stop operation, the first prize assist effect index for notifying the pressing timing of the first stop operation, and the stop button for executing the second stop operation as the prize assist effect. The second prize-winning auxiliary effect index to be performed and the third prize-winning auxiliary effect index for notifying the stop button for executing the third stop operation are displayed. The details of the first prize-winning auxiliary production index will be described later.

This auxiliary game in which the winning assistance of Bell A to Bell L, in which a payout (13 cards) larger than the specified number of balls (3 cards) is set, is executed, is more advantageous for the player than the non-AT state in terms of payout of medals. The AT state constitutes the second state in the present embodiment, and the AT control means 200 that controls the normal section, the advantageous section, and the auxiliary game constitutes the auxiliary game control means in the present embodiment.

Further, in the AT state, the AT control means 200 is configured not to execute the set batting order notification control when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won. It is configured not to execute the notification of. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, the notification of any batting order is not executed, and the player is stopped. A game in which the button B1 is first stopped is prompted.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, which will be described in more detail later, when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 4" are won in the bonus established state, bell A, bell B, bell G, Regarding the unset batting order that enables the Bell H to win, the stop button B1 is stopped first because both the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1" and the winning area "Batting Order Chance 4" are set to batting order 1 and batting order 2. By executing the game to be operated, the winning probability of Bell A, Bell B, Bell G, and Bell H can be increased by executing the payout of 13 cards.

The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment executes a lottery for determining whether or not to set the AT mode at the start of the AT state. When the specific AT flag is in the OFF state, the AT control means 200 executes the first mode lottery at the start of AT as a lottery for determining whether to set the AT mode, and the specific AT flag is in the ON state. In that case, the second mode lottery is executed at the start of AT. In the AT start first mode lottery and the AT start second mode lottery, the AT control means 200 is configured to select a lottery table based on the set value stored in the set value storage means 191.

The AT control means 200 executes the first mode lottery at the start of AT or the second mode lottery at the start of AT, determines whether or not the AT mode is set, and if it is determined to set the AT mode, it is determined by the lottery. The AT mode is stored in the AT mode storage area 197f of the AT control data storage means 197, and the determined AT mode is started after the pseudo-bonus state ends. The details of the first mode lottery at the start of AT and the second mode lottery at the start of AT will be described later.

The pseudo-bonus state is a state that is started when the effect state shifts to the AT state. In the pseudo-bonus state, the initial value (30 games) corresponding to the predetermined number of games is set in the AT game number counter (not shown) of the AT control data storage means 197, and the AT game number counter is set each time the game is executed. A decrement update is executed in which the stored value is subtracted by the value "1" corresponding to one game.

When the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "rare replay" in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 and when the winning area "rare role" is won, when the AT mode is not set. When the AT mode setting lottery for determining whether or not to set the AT mode is executed and any one of the first AT mode to the fourth AT mode is stored in the AT mode storage area 197f, the stored AT mode is stored. The AT mode transition lottery is executed, in which a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the AT mode that is more advantageous to the player.

As described above, the second mode lottery at the start of AT is configured as a lottery in which the third AT mode can be won if the non-AT mode is the second non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode. It is a lottery that is more advantageous for the player in terms of granting the AT mode than the first mode lottery at the start of AT, which can be won only in the first AT mode or the second AT mode regardless of the mode and any set value.

4. Summary of the present embodiment As described above, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is in the AT state, and after executing the pseudo-bonus state in which 30 games can be continued, the AT mode of any one of the first AT mode to the fifth AT mode is executed. If is set, the AT state is configured to continue until the "end of AT mode" is won in the first AT mode or the second AT mode. The AT mode whose setting is determined in the AT start first mode lottery or the AT start second mode lottery is a continuation privilege related to the continuation of the AT state that can be granted by the AT control means 200 in the present embodiment, that is, AT. Consists of status benefits.

Further, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment executes the first mode lottery at the start of AT when the non-AT state started based on the start of the advantageous section shifts to the AT state, and FIGS. 17A to 17A. A lottery is performed using any of the lottery tables shown in FIG. 17 (E), and one of "no AT mode setting", "first AT mode setting", and "second AT mode setting" is determined. As described above, in the first mode lottery at the start of AT, the setting values stored in the setting value storage means 191 are set in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6. It is configured so that the probability of winning the "setting of the first AT mode" or the "setting of the second AT mode" is high.

Further, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment sets the specific AT flag to the ON state when the AT mode is not set in the AT state and the effect state shifts to the non-AT state after the end of the pseudo bonus state. It is configured in. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, the AT mode is set in the AT state, and when the AT state is terminated and the effect state is shifted to the non-AT state based on the end of the AT mode, the specific AT flag is OFF. When the non-AT state is started in the AT state and the effect state shifts from the AT state to the non-AT state without setting the AT mode in the AT state, the non-AT state is started with the specific AT flag ON. It is configured.

When the specific AT flag is in the OFF state, the AT control means 200 executes the first mode lottery at the start of AT even when the AT state ends and the non-AT state shifts to the AT state again. However, when the specific AT flag is in the ON state, the second mode lottery at the start of AT is executed when the AT state ends and the non-AT state is changed to the AT state again. ing. Then, as shown in FIGS. 18A to 18E, the AT start second mode lottery is configured to be able to win the AT mode which is more advantageous for the player than the AT start first mode lottery. It is a lottery.

That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the set value stored in the set value storage means 191 is a high set value, the slot machine 1 is "1st mode lottery at the start of AT" than when the set value is a low set value. It is easy to win the "1st AT mode setting" or "2nd AT mode setting", and when the AT state is entered, the 1st AT mode or the 2nd AT mode is set with high probability, and the AT state becomes a pseudo bonus state. There is a high probability that the game will continue even after the end, and it is possible to provide the player with a game in which medals can be stably obtained.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the set value stored in the set value storage means 191 is a low set value, the slot machine 1 is "1st mode lottery at the start of AT" than when the set value is a high set value. Since it is difficult to win the "1st AT mode setting" or "2nd AT mode setting", the AT state is likely to end by the end of the pseudo bonus state for the first AT state from the start of the advantageous section. When the second AT state in a series of advantageous sections is started, the second mode lottery at the start of AT is likely to be executed, and the third AT mode to the fifth AT mode may be set. By starting the second AT state in the advantageous section of the above, it is possible to provide the player with a game in which the AT state may continue until the specific end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied.

That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the set value is high, the first AT mode or the second AT mode is set with high probability when the AT state is entered, so that the AT state is reached. In, the AT mode that continues for a short period of time even after the end of the pseudo bonus state is stably granted, and if the set value is a low setting value, when the transition to the first AT state in a series of advantageous sections occurs. Although it is difficult to set the AT mode, since the AT mode is not set in the first AT state, the second mode lottery at the start of AT is executed in the second AT state in a series of advantageous sections, and the third AT mode to the third AT mode are executed. There is a possibility that the 5AT mode will be set, and the AT state may continue for a long period of time. Since the game playability is different between the two, it is possible to realize a game playability that the player can be satisfied with regardless of the set value.

The AT start first mode lottery constitutes the first lottery in the present embodiment, and the AT start second mode lottery constitutes the second lottery in the present embodiment. Further, when the first setting value is setting 6, settings 1 to 5 constitute the second setting value, and when the first setting value is setting 5, settings 1 to 4 are set. Configures the second setting value, and when the first setting value is setting 4, settings 1 to 3 configure the second setting value, and when the first setting value is setting 3. The setting 1 and the setting 2 constitute the second setting value, and when the first setting value is the setting 2, the setting 1 constitutes the second setting value.

Further, when the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment sets the AT mode of any of the first AT mode to the fifth AT mode in the AT state and ends the AT state after the game in the AT mode is executed, a series of cases. It is configured to execute the first end mode lottery that determines the lottery table based on the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b that counts the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section. In the first end mode lottery, if the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is less than the value "500", the lottery with a high winning probability of the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode is executed, and the second If the stored value of the advantageous section counter 197b is a value "500" or more and less than a value "1500", a lottery with a high winning probability of the second non-AT mode is executed, and the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is a value "1500". If it is more than or equal to, a lottery with a high probability of winning in the first non-AT mode is executed.

Further, the AT control means 200 shifts from the AT state to the non-AT state in a series of advantageous sections, and after setting the non-AT mode, the advantageous section end determination counter 197d counts the number of games until the end of the advantageous section. Execute a lottery for the number of games that end the advantageous section to determine the initial value to be set to. In the advantageous section end game number lottery, in the first non-AT mode, a lottery is executed in which the value in the range of the value "50" to the value "100" is set to the initial value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d, and the second In the non-AT mode, a lottery is executed in which the value in the range of the value "150" to the value "190" is set to the initial value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d, and in the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode. If so, a lottery is executed in which a value in the range of the value “700” to the value “750” is set as the initial value of the advantageous section end determination counter 197d.

Then, the AT control means 200 has a value of "200" or more in the first non-AT mode and the second non-AT mode with respect to the initial value set in the non-AT game number counter 197c that counts the number of games in which the non-AT state continues. The value is set to the value of "600" or less in the third non-AT mode to the fifth non-AT mode.

That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, regarding the number of medals acquired at the end of the first AT state in a series of advantageous sections, if the number of medals acquired is less than 500, the second AT state is obtained. It is configured so that it can be transferred with a high probability, and if it is 500 or more and less than 1500, it is configured so that the advantageous section ends after the game of 150 to 190 games is executed in the non-AT state with a high probability. In the case of more than one card, the advantageous section is configured to end after 50 to 100 games have been played in the non-AT state with high probability.

In other words,
The auxiliary game control means determines the transition from the first state to the second state when the game of the first game number is executed in the first state.
In the transition from the second state to the first state, when the number of acquired game values in the advantageous section is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of acquired games, the second game number of games is executed in the first state. Based on the above, the advantageous section is completed and
The number of games of the second game is smaller than the number of games of the first game.

With such a configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment waits until the second game number of games is executed when the AT state ends with a predetermined number of medals or more acquired in the AT state. By ending the advantageous section after continuing the advantageous section, the advantageous section is ended with the end of the AT state, and the game shifts to the AT state when a uniform number of games are executed after the advantageous section is started. Since the number of second games can be set according to the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section before the transition to the normal section, the advantageous section can be set according to the number of medals acquired by the player. It is possible to set a continuous period, and it is possible to prevent a player who has not sufficiently won medals in one advantageous section from giving an excessive sense of loss.

As described above, the gaming machine (1) of the present embodiment is
With multiple reels (R1, R2, R3),
Setting change means (100) that can change the setting value,
Internal lottery means (120) for performing internal lottery,
Auxiliary game control means (200) that controls a normal section and an advantageous section and controls an auxiliary game in the advantageous section is provided.
The winning probability of the winning combination in the internal lottery is set according to the set value, and is set.
The auxiliary game control means controls a first state and a second state in the advantageous section, and controls the first state and the second state.
The second state is a state in which the execution of the auxiliary game is more advantageous than the first state in terms of giving the game value.
The auxiliary game control means can give a privilege related to the second state.

The auxiliary game control means executes a first lottery and a second lottery as a lottery related to the granting of the privilege.
The second lottery is executed when the first lottery does not win the grant of the privilege.
The second lottery is a lottery that is more advantageous than the first lottery in terms of granting the privilege.
The set value includes a first set value and a second set value.
The first set value is a set value higher than the second set value.
In the case of the first set value, it is easier to win the grant of the privilege in the first lottery than in the case of the second set value.
In the case of the second set value, the privilege is less likely to be given in the first lottery than in the case of the first set value, so that the second lottery is more likely to be executed.

With this configuration, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the set value is high, the first AT mode or the second AT mode is set with high probability when the AT state is entered. In the AT state, if the AT mode that continues for a short period after the end of the pseudo bonus state is stably given and the set value is low, the transition to the first AT state in a series of advantageous sections is performed. In some cases, it is difficult to set the AT mode, but because the AT mode is not set in the first AT state, the second mode lottery at the start of AT is executed in the second AT state in a series of advantageous sections, and the third AT mode is executed. There is a possibility that the 5th AT mode will be set, and there is a possibility that the AT state will continue for a long period of time. When the set value is a low set value and when the set value is a high set value. Since the game playability is different between, and, it is possible to realize a game playability that the player can be satisfied with regardless of which set value is set.

5. Modification Example In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has an AT mode as a privilege related to the AT state, but the slot machine 1 is not limited to this. The slot machine 1 may have a continuation privilege as a privilege related to the AT state. For example, the slot machine 1 has a value of adding (adding) the number of games in which the pseudo bonus state continues from 30 games as an initial value as a continuation privilege. , The first lottery and the second lottery can be determined, and if it is the first set value, the value in the range of the value "10" to the value "20" is won with high probability by the first lottery. , In the case of the second set value, although the value is determined to be "0" in the first lottery, the value "100" to the value "300" may be configured to be winable in the second lottery. Further, the slot machine 1 may have an additional number of times (number of sets) of executing the pseudo-bonus state of 30 games per set as a continuous privilege.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 can win the AT mode which is more advantageous for the player than the first mode lottery at the start of AT as the first lottery in the second mode lottery at the start of AT as the second lottery. By setting this, the second mode lottery at the start of AT is held as a lottery more advantageous than the first mode lottery at the start of AT in terms of granting continuous benefits, but the lottery is not limited to this. For example, the AT control means 200 is more advantageous than the first lottery in terms of granting the continuation privilege because it is easier to win the grant of the continuation privilege than the first lottery regardless of the set value for the second lottery. It may be held as a lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 sets the special small winning combination A and the special small winning combination B to one payout, which is the same payout, but is not limited to this.
