Then, depending on the combination of the lottery result of the winning type lottery and the symbol displayed on the valid line A, if the winning combination that can receive the medal payout wins, the medal is paid out and the winning type that can receive the medal payout is executed. If the player is unsuccessful, or if the player wins but does not win, the game ends when the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the 4th reel 110d all stop.

In this embodiment, in the above one game, a medal is inserted through the medal insertion unit 114, a credited medal is inserted through the operation of the bet switch 116, or a replay combination is displayed on the effective line A. After any of the automatic medals are inserted based on the above, the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the 4th reel 110d are rotationally controlled and won according to the operation of the start switch 118 by the player. The type lottery is executed, and the left reel corresponding to the operated stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d according to the lottery result of the winning type lottery and the operation of the plurality of stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d by the player. When the 110a, the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the 4th reel 110d are stopped and controlled, and the winning combination that can receive the medal payout wins, the game until the medal payout is executed. In addition, if the winning type that can receive the medal payout is not won, or if the winning is not won, the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the 4th reel 110d all stop, and one game is played. Is finished. However, the start of one game may be read as the operation of the start switch 118 by the player instead of inserting the above medal or winning the replay combination. Further, the number of times such one game is repeated is defined as the number of games.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic electrical configuration of the slot machine 100. As shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 100 includes a main control board 200 (main control unit) that controls the progress of the game and a sub control board 202 (sub control unit) that controls the effect according to the progress of the game.

Further, the reel control means 306 activates the operations of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d in the previous game in response to the operation of the start switch 118, and then displays the lottery result of the winning type lottery. The time until the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d by the user is enabled (disabled by the completion of the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d in the previous game) is extended from the specified time. During that time, a reel effect (freeze effect) may be performed in which the reels 110a, 110b, 110c, and the 4th reel 110d are rotated in various modes. In the reel effect, any switch that should be originally enabled is not enabled for a predetermined time, the processing that should be originally executed is suspended for a predetermined time, and the signal of any switch that should be originally transmitted / received is transmitted or received for a predetermined time. It can be realized by not having it.

Further, a reel drive control unit 150 is connected to the main control board 200. The reel drive control unit 150 steps based on the rotation start signals of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the 4th reel 110d transmitted from the reel control means 306 in response to the operation signal of the start switch 118.

The drive of the stepping motor 152 is stopped based on the detection signal of the circuit 154.

The determination means 308 determines whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the valid line A. Here, displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the valid line A may be simply referred to as winning. The payout control means 310 pays out medals by the number (value amount) corresponding to the winning combination based on the fact that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the valid line A (winning). Further, a medal payout device 142 is connected to the main control board 200, and the payout control means 310 ejects medals while counting the number of medals to be paid out.

The game state control means 312 refers to the result of the winning type lottery and the determination result of the determination means 308, and shifts the game state to any of a plurality of types of game states. Further, the effect state control means 314 refers to the result of the winning type lottery, the determination result of the determination means 308, and the transition information of the game state, and shifts the effect state to any of a plurality of types of effect states.

The command transmission means 316 includes a bet means 302, a winning type lottery means 304, a reel control means 306, a determination means 308, a payout control means 310, a game state control means 312, and an effect state control means (game profit giving means, state control means). The commands related to the game associated with the operation of 314 and the like are sequentially determined, and the determined commands are sequentially transmitted to the sub-control board 202.

Further, the main control board 200 is provided with a random number generator 200d. The random number generator 200d sequentially increments the count value, loops within a predetermined numerical range, and extracts the count value at a predetermined time point to obtain a random number. The random number generated by the random number generator 200d of the main control board 200 (hereinafter referred to as a winning type lottery random number) is used to give a game profit to the player, for example, the winning type lottery means 304 determines the winning type. ..

The decoration data is determined, and the audio data constituting the audio to be output from the speaker 128 is determined. Then, the effect control means 334 executes the effect of the determined game. The production also includes an auxiliary production. The auxiliary effect is to set the correct answer operation mode of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d, which are the winning conditions for the correct answer combination when the correct answer combination and the incorrect answer combination overlap in the winning type lottery. It is a production to inform. With such an auxiliary effect, the player can easily display the symbol combination corresponding to the correct answer combination on the effective line A. The effect state in which such an auxiliary effect is executed is referred to as an AT (assist time) effect state. In addition, a so-called ART game state in which the AT effect state and the RT (replay time) game state in which the winning probability of the replay combination is high progress in parallel may be used.

In the following, the notification managed by a board other than the main control board 200 including the sub control board 202 such as the liquid crystal display unit 124, the effect lamp 126, the speaker 128, the sub credit display unit 134, and the sub payout display unit 136. The means may be referred to as another notification means. On the other hand, the notification means managed by the main control board 200, such as the main credit display unit 130 and the main payout display unit 132, may be referred to as a main notification means (instruction monitor). In addition, the main notification means and other notification means capable of executing the auxiliary effect may be collectively referred to as the auxiliary effect execution means. The effect state control means 314 causes the auxiliary effect execution means to execute the auxiliary effect in the AT effect state.

As will be described in detail later, the slot machine 100 is provided with a plurality of types of gaming states and effect states, and the gaming states and effect states are shifted according to the progress of the game. In the main control board 200, a plurality of winning type lottery tables and the like corresponding to the game states managed and controlled by the game state control means 312 are stored in the main ROM 200b. The winning type lottery means 304 sets the corresponding winning type lottery table in the main ROM 200b according to the current set value (which shows the easiness of obtaining the game profit stepwise) stored in the main RAM 200c and the current game state. Based on the winning type lottery table extracted from, it is determined which winning type in the winning type lottery table the winning type lottery random number acquired according to the operation signal of the start switch 118 corresponds to.

Here, the winning combination constituting the winning type extracted in the winning type lottery table includes a replay combination, a small combination, and a bonus combination. The replay combination is a combination in which, when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the effective line A, the game can be executed again without making a new bet of the medal by the player. The small winning combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals can be paid out according to the symbol combination by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination on the effective line A. Further, in the bonus combination, the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination is displayed on the effective line A, so that the gaming state managed by the gaming state control means 312 is changed to the bonus gaming state (game state during RBB operation, which will be described later). It is a role that can be transferred to.

As shown in FIG. 5, the winning combination in the present embodiment is provided with the winning combination “RBB” as a bonus combination. Further, as small roles, winning combinations "small role 1" to "small role 37" are provided. Further, as the replay role, the winning roles "replay 1" to "replay 8" are provided. In FIG. 5, the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the 4th reel 110d are associated with one or a plurality of symbols constituting each winning combination. In the following, the winning roles "small role 1" to "small role 13" will be abbreviated as the winning role "15-card role", and the winning roles "small role 14" to "small role 35" will be abbreviated as the winning role "1 card role". In some cases.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 120 is operated by the player, if the symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that can be won is on the effective line A, the reel control means. By 306, stop control is performed so that the symbol stops on the effective line A. Further, when the stop switch 120 is operated, there is no symbol on the effective line A that constitutes a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that can be won, but four symbols in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the reel 110. When it exists within the range corresponding to the minute (pull-in range), the number of distant symbols becomes the number of sliding frames by the reel control means 306, and the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination are effective. The stop control is performed so as to stop after maintaining the rotation for the number of sliding frames so as to be pulled onto the line A. Further, if there are a plurality of symbols corresponding to the winning combinations that can be won in the reel 110 and all of them are within the pull-in range of the reel 110, any of the symbols is valid line A according to a predetermined priority. It is determined whether to pull it up, and stop control is performed so that the priority symbol is pulled onto the effective line A and the rotation is maintained for the number of slip frames and then stopped. When the stop switch 120 is pressed, if a symbol constituting a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination other than the winning combination that can be won is on the effective line A, the symbol is controlled by the reel control means 306. The so-called kicking process, which prevents the reel from stopping on the effective line A, is also executed in parallel. Further, as will be described later, when an operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is set as a winning condition for the winning combination included in the winning type, the reel control means 306 is a winning combination according to the operation mode of the player. The symbol combination corresponding to the above is stopped and controlled so that it can be displayed on the effective line A.

Then, for example, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "replay 1" and the winning combination "small combination 1" can be always displayed on the effective line A on each reel 110 by the above stop control. Are arranged in. Such a winning combination may be expressed as PB = 1. On the other hand, for example, the symbols constituting the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination "replay 3", the winning combination "small combination 16", and the winning combination "RBB" are necessarily effective lines A in each reel 110 by the above stop control. Since it is not arranged so that it can be displayed above, so-called omission may occur. Such a winning combination may be expressed as PB ≠ 1.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the winning type lottery table, a plurality of winning areas are divided, and the winning type to be the target of the lottery differs depending on each game state, and the presence or absence of unwinning (loss) differs. In FIG. 6, the winning area (winning type) assigned to each gaming state (non-internal gaming state (non-internal), RBB internal medium gaming state (RBB internal), RBB operating gaming state (RBB operating)). And, the outline of the winning combination (for example, the number of payouts) that can be displayed according to the operation mode of the player when the winning type is won is shown. The hatched area in the winning type lottery table indicates that the winning type is not won in the gaming state. The winning type lottery table is stored in the main ROM 200b corresponding to each of the plurality of gaming states. In addition, the winning type surrounded by a thin line square indicates that it is an advantageous section lottery possible winning type that can be transferred to an advantageous section, and the winning type surrounded by a thick line is a lottery to be transferred to an advantageous section. It is shown that it is an advantageous section lottery impossible winning type.

In the winning type lottery table, each of the divided winning areas is associated with a predetermined number (winning range value), which is a numerical value indicating the winning range, and the winning type, and all assigned to each gaming state. The total number of winning areas is the total number of winning type lottery random numbers (65536). Therefore, the probability that each winning type is determined is a value obtained by dividing the number of places associated with the winning area by the total number of winning type lottery random numbers. Based on the game state at that time, the winning type lottery means 304 sequentially acquires the number from the highest number among the plurality of winning areas in the winning type lottery table, and uses the number as the winning type lottery random number. When the value after subtraction becomes less than 0 by subtracting from, the winning type associated with the winning area at that time is used as the lottery result of the winning type lottery. In addition, if the number of all winning areas in the winning area 1 or higher is subtracted from the winning type lottery random numbers and the value after subtraction is 0 or more, the winning type "loss" in the winning area 0 is the winning type lottery. Will be the result of the lottery.

Here, the winning combination "RBB" constituting the winning type "RBB" will be supplemented. The predetermined type 1 special bonus RB is a bonus that increases the number of combinations of symbols related to winning for each specified number, or increases the probability that the condition device related to winning for each specified number will operate, and is predetermined. It operates when it is played, and can continue to operate until the result of the game is obtained not more than 12 times. Here, the conditional device is a device whose operation is a necessary condition for displaying a combination of symbols related to a prize, a replay, an accessory, or an operation of the accessory continuous operation device, and is a device in which the winning type lottery (winning type lottery) It means the one that operates when the lottery by the computer performed in the game machine) is won, that is, the winning flag. Then, the bonus continuous operation device (winning combination "RBB") related to the first-class special bonus that constitutes the winning type "RBB" is a device that can continuously operate the first-class special bonus RB. Yes, it operates when a specific combination of symbols is displayed, and ends the operation when a predetermined combination is displayed.

According to the winning type lottery table of FIG. 6, for example, the winning area 0 is associated with the winning type “loss”, and when the winning type is won, the symbol corresponding to any of the winning combinations shown in FIG. The combination is not displayed on the valid line A, and the medal is not paid out.

Further, the winning area 1 is associated with the winning type "small winning combination ALL" in which the winning winning combinations "small winning combination 1" to "small winning combination 37" are duplicated (winning), and the winning combination 2 is associated with the winning combination. , The winning type "1 piece ALL" in which the winning combination "small combination 14" to "small combination 33" are duplicated is associated.

In addition, the winning area 3 includes the winning combination "small combination 22" in which the number of payouts is one and the winning combination "small combination 37" in which the number of payouts is three, which is the winning type "weak cherry 1". "Is associated with it.

In addition, in the winning areas 4 to 27, one of the correct answering combinations (winning combination "small combination 2" to "small combination 13") in which the number of payouts is 15, and the incorrect answering combination in which the number of payouts is one (winning combination). A selection winning type (winning type "batting order strawberry 1" to "batting order strawberry 24") in which any one of "small winning combination 14" to "small winning combination 29") is included is associated with each other. In the following, the 24 winning types in the winning areas 4 to 27 may be simply abbreviated as the winning type "batting order strawberry".

Further, in the winning areas 28 to 31, the winning combination "small winning combination 1" in which the number of payouts is 15, the winning combination "small winning combination 35" in which the number of payouts is 1, and the winning combination in which the number of payouts is 2 are 2. The winning types "batting order chance combination A1" to "batting order chance combination A4" in which the combination "small combination 36" is included at least in duplicate are associated with each other. Further, in the winning areas 32 to 35, at least the winning combination "small winning combination 1" in which the number of payouts is 15, and the winning combination "small winning combination 33" and "small winning combination 34" in which the number of payouts is one overlap at least. The winning types "batting order chance combination B1" to "batting order chance combination B4" included in the above are associated with each other. In the following, the four winning types in the winning areas 28 to 31 are simply abbreviated as the winning type "batting order chance combination A", and the four winning types in the winning areas 32 to 35 are simply abbreviated as the winning type "batting order chance combination B". In some cases. The winning type "batting order chance combination A" and the winning type "batting order chance combination B" may be simply abbreviated as the winning type "batting order chance combination".

In addition, the winning types "normal replay 1" to "normal" in which any of the winning combinations "replay 1" to "replay 3" and "replay 5" to "replay 8" are duplicated in the winning areas 36 to 41. "Replay 6" is associated with it.

Further, the winning area 42 is associated with a winning type "chance replay" in which the winning combinations "replay 1" and "replay 3" are duplicated. The winning area 43 is associated with a winning type "weak bell" in which the winning combinations "replay 1" to "replay 4" are duplicated. The winning area 44 is associated with a winning type "strong bell" in which the winning combinations "replay 1" to "replay 5" are duplicated. The winning area 45 is associated with a winning type "strong cherry 1" in which the winning combinations "replay 1" and "replay 4" are duplicated. The winning area 46 is associated with a winning type "strong cherry 2" in which the winning combinations "replay 1", "replay 4", and "replay 5" are duplicated. Winning type "Normal Replay 1"-"Normal Replay 6", "Chance Replay", "Weak Bell", "Strong Bell", "Strong Cherry 1", "Strong Cherry 2" are simply abbreviated as Winning Type "Replay" There is.

In addition, the winning area 47 corresponds to the winning type "weak cherry 2" in which the winning combination "RBB" and the winning combination "small role 18", "small role 29", and "small role 30" are duplicated. It is attached. The winning area 48 includes the winning combination "RBB" and the winning combination "small role 14", "small role 18", "small role 26", "small role 29", and "small role 30" in duplicate. The winning type "common 1 sheet 1" is associated with each other. The winning area 49 is associated with the winning type "common 1 sheet 2" in which the winning combination "RBB" and the winning combination "small combination 17" and "small combination 31" to "small combination 33" are duplicated. Has been done. The winning area 50 is associated with a winning type "RBB" in which the winning combination "RBB" is included alone. If the winning areas 47 to 49 are won in the RBB internal middle game state, only the small winning combination will be won.

Then, when a winning combination including a plurality of winning combinations is won in duplicate, a winning condition for preferentially displaying the symbol combination corresponding to which winning combination on the valid line A, for example, a stop. The order in which the switches 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d are operated is set.

The operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d to stop the operation is set to "beating order 22", and the 4th reel 110d, the right reel 110c, the left reel 110a, and the middle reel 110b are displayed in this order. The operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d to stop the reels is set to "batting order 23", and the stop switches 120a, 120b, which stop the reels in the order of the 4th reel 110d, the right reel 110c, the middle reel 110b, and the left reel 110a, The operation of 120c and 120d is referred to as "batting order 24".

Further, in the following description, the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d for first stopping the left reel 110a is defined as "left push", and the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d for first stopping the middle reel 110b. The operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d that first stops the right reel 110c is set to "middle push", and the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c that first stops the 4th reel 110d is set to "right push". The operation of 120d is set to "4th push".

For example, in the RBB internal middle game state described later, when the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" in the winning area 4 is won and the operation is performed according to the correct answer operation mode (batting order 1), the number of payouts is 15 as the correct answer. Stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to a certain winning combination "small combination 2" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In addition, when the operations are performed in the batting order 2 to 6 and 13 to 24, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "1 sheet combination", which is an incorrect answer of 1 payout number, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. When the stop control is performed so as to be performed and the operation is performed according to the batting order 7 to 12, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "1 sheet combination", which is an incorrect answer of 1 payout number, has priority on the effective line A. Stop control is performed so that it is displayed with a probability of 1/2.

The number of each winning type "batting order strawberry" in the winning areas 4 to 27 is set to 1870, and the winning probabilities are set to be equal. Since the player cannot usually know which winning type is won, it is difficult to win the correct answer by providing the winning areas 4 to 27 as described above. Further, as described above, even if the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d are operated in the operation mode in which the incorrect answer is preferentially displayed, the symbol combination corresponding to the incorrect answer is not necessarily placed on the effective line A. Since it is not always displayed, it may be missed depending on the operation mode (PB ≠ 1). Similarly, the number of winning types "batting order chance combination A" in the winning areas 28 to 31 is set to 128, and the winning probabilities are set to be equal. In addition, the number of winning types "batting order chance combination B" in the winning areas 32 to 35 is set to 612, and the winning probabilities are set to be equal. Since the player cannot usually know which winning type is won, by providing the winning areas 28 to 35 as described above, the correct answer role that maximizes the game profit in each of the production states can be obtained. It makes it difficult to win a prize.

When any of the above-mentioned winning types is won, the internal winning flag corresponding to each winning type is established (ON), and the stop control of each reel 110 is performed according to the establishment status of the internal winning flag. The Rukoto. At this time, if the winning type including the small winning combination is won, but the symbol combination corresponding to these winning combination cannot be displayed on the valid line A in the game, after the end of the game. The internal winning flag is turned off. That is, the right to win a small winning combination is limited to the game in which the winning type including the small winning combination is won, and the right cannot be carried over to the next game. On the other hand, when the winning type including the winning combination "RBB" is won, the RBB internal winning flag is established (ON), and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" is on the valid line A. The RBB internal winning flag is carried over across the game until it is displayed. If the internal winning flag corresponding to the winning type including the replay combination is established, the symbol combination corresponding to any of the replay combinations included in the winning type is always on the valid line A. It is displayed, and after the processing necessary for performing the next game without requiring a medal is performed, the internal winning flag is turned off.

(Transition of game state)
Here, the transition of the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a plurality of gaming states such as a non-internal gaming state, an RBB internal medium gaming state, and an RBB operating gaming state are prepared. As will be described later, each game state is changed according to the winning of the bonus combination, the winning (operation), and the end.

The non-internal gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state in a plurality of gaming states. In such a non-internal gaming state, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to about 1 / 7.3. Further, in the non-internal gaming state, the winning combination "RBB" is determined with a predetermined probability (for example, about 1/10).

The game state control means 312 changes the game state according to the winning of the winning combination “RBB”. For example, in a game in which the winning combination "RBB" is won, when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" is displayed on the effective line A, the game state control means 312 changes the game state to the game state during RBB operation. Migrate (1).

In the gaming state during RBB operation, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to 0. In the gaming state during the RBB operation, the winning type "small winning combination ALL" is set in the winning area 1 and the winning type "1 piece ALL" is set in the winning area 2. If you win the winning type "Small role ALL", the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combination "Small role 1" to "Small role 37" is displayed on the valid line A, and you win the winning type "1 piece ALL". Then, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to any one of the winning combination "small combination 14" to "small combination 33" is displayed on the effective line A. Here, the expected number of sheets to be acquired per unit game in the game state during RBB operation is lowered due to the configuration of such a small winning combination.

When the end condition of the gaming state during RBB operation is satisfied, that is, when the acquired number reaches a predetermined number, the gaming state control means 312 shifts the gaming state to the non-internal gaming state (2).

On the other hand, in the game in which the winning combination "RBB" is won, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" cannot be displayed on the effective line A, the game state control means 312 displays the game state inside the RBB. Shift to the middle game state (3).

In the RBB internal middle game state, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to about 1 / 5.9. In addition, in the RBB internal middle game state, the winning type "loss" is not won. In other words, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" cannot be displayed on the valid line A in the winning game of the winning combination "RBB", after that, a smaller role or a smaller role than the winning combination "RBB" Since the replay combination is preferentially stopped and controlled on the effective line A, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" cannot be displayed on the effective line A. Therefore, once the gaming state shifts to the RBB internal medium gaming state, the RBB internal medium gaming state is maintained without the subsequent transition of the gaming state. Here, while maintaining the RBB internal medium gaming state, the AT effect state is realized in the RBB internal medium gaming state.

Here, in the RBB internal middle game state, since a plurality of types of correct answer combinations are won without overlapping each other, it is possible to increase the chances that the correct answer combination can be won, and as a result, for example, the RBB internal middle game. AT effect in the state By performing the auxiliary effect in the state, it is possible to easily obtain a medal. On the other hand, in the game state during RBB operation, since multiple types of correct answer combinations are won in duplicate, there are few chances that the correct answer combination can be won, so the correct answer combination is won more than the AT production state in other game states. The chances of being able to do it are reduced, making it difficult for players to increase the number of medals they own. Therefore, while having the function of the RBB operating game state in which the winning probability of the winning combination is higher than that of the RBB internal medium game state, the RBB internal game state is changed to the RBB internal medium game state in terms of medal acquisition performance. It is possible to realize a specification that is inferior (accelerator RBB).

Comparing the non-internal gaming state and the RBB operating gaming state in FIG. 8, at least the medal acquisition performance must be higher in the RBB operating gaming state than in the non-internal gaming state. In the present embodiment, by suppressing the medal acquisition performance in the game state during the RBB operation to a low level, the medal acquisition performance in the RBB internal medium game state is enhanced, and the overall medal acquisition performance is suppressed to a low level. .. However, if the medal acquisition performance in the gaming state during RBB operation is suppressed to a low level, it is necessary to reduce the medal acquisition performance in the non-internal gaming state accordingly. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to lower the medal acquisition performance in the non-internal gaming state, the stop control is switched between the non-internal gaming state and the RBB internal medium gaming state as shown in the winning type lottery table of FIG. ing.

Specifically, when the reel control means 306 wins the winning type "batting order strawberry", the winning combination "small" in which the number of payouts is 15 according to a predetermined operation mode by the player in the medium gaming state inside the RBB. The winning combination "small combination 2" to the winning combination "small combination 13" are stopped and controlled so as to be displayed on the effective line A, but in the non-internal gaming state, the winning combination "small combination 2" to the winning combination "small combination 13" are displayed. The winning combination with one payout number is displayed on the valid line A without winning a prize. Here, in the non-internal gaming state, the configuration in which the winning combination "small role 2" to the winning combination "small role 13" is not won is explained, but the winning combination "small role 2" to the winning role "small role" is explained. Although "13" wins a prize, it can be configured so that the winning probability is lower than the RBB internal middle game state.

Further, the reel control means 306 is not limited to the case of changing the stop control when the above-mentioned winning type "batting order strawberry" is won, and in addition to this, the winning type "batting order chance combination" is used instead. You may change the stop control when you win. For example, when the reel control means 306 wins the winning type "batting order chance combination", the winning combination "small combination" in which the number of payouts is 15 according to a predetermined operation mode by the player in the RBB internal middle game state. The stop control is performed so that "1" is displayed on the effective line A, but in the non-internal gaming state, the winning combination "small winning combination 1" is not won or the winning probability is lower than the RBB internal middle gaming state. Then, the winning combination with less than 15 payouts is displayed on the valid line A.

With this configuration, while having the function of the RBB operating game state in which the winning probability of the winning combination is higher than that of the RBB internal medium game state, the RBB internal medium game state is the RBB internal game state in terms of medal acquisition performance. In addition to realizing the specification of being inferior to the state, it is possible to improve the acquisition performance of medals in the gaming state during RBB operation rather than the acquisition performance of medals in the non-internal gaming state.

(Transition of production state)
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the transition of the effect state. Hereinafter, the effect state transitioned by the effect state control means 314 on the main control board 200 will be described in detail. In the following, a case where the gaming state is the RBB internal middle gaming state will be described.

Here, in order to comprehensively and uniformly determine whether or not the game state in which the medal acquisition performance is high is biased, a game section having performance related to the instruction function, that is, an auxiliary effect (instruction function) is executed. A game section that is advantageous to the player, including a game section, is defined as an advantageous section. In the advantageous section, for example, when the auxiliary effect is activated as a result of performing a lottery or the like related to the operation of the auxiliary effect on the main control board 200, the content of the instruction can be identified on the main control board 200, for example, the main notification. Only when displayed on the means, it is a game section in which information indicating the content of the instruction may be transmitted to a peripheral board such as the sub-control board 202. Further, unlike the advantageous section, the game section in which the auxiliary effect (instruction function) cannot be executed is defined as the non-advantageous section. Therefore, the plurality of effect states belong to either the advantageous section or the non-advantageous section, which is the game section. In the present embodiment, almost all the effect states belong to the advantageous section, and the non-advantageous section is realized in a part of the effect states (here, the first game in the non-advantageous standby effect state).

In addition, in the winning mode in which the correct answer role is missed if there is no auxiliary effect in the advantageous section, the assistance to assist the winning of the correct answer role in the selected winning type in which the dividend of the correct answer role is the maximum (here, 15 cards). When performing an effect (auxiliary effect that can obtain the maximum number of payouts), for example, the section display 160 must be turned on to notify the effect.

Further, in the non-advantageous section, it is possible to make the winning probability of the winning type different for each set value, but the probability of determining the transition to the effect state (AT effect state) accompanied by the auxiliary effect in the same winning type. Must not be different for each set value. On the other hand, in the advantageous section, if both the winning probability of the winning type and the probability of determining the transition (or addition) to the effect state (AT effect state) accompanied by the auxiliary effect in the same winning type are different for each set value. It is possible to make it.

Therefore, the effect state control means 314 manages the transition between the non-advantageous section and the advantageous section in addition to the management of the transition of the effect state. In addition, the advantageous section is forcibly terminated when the following termination conditions are satisfied, regardless of such management. For example, it is forcibly terminated based on the fact that the value counted in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined value (for example, the number of staying games reaches 1500 games or the net increase number exceeds 2400). In any case, the effect state control means 314 resets all the information updated in the advantageous section (all variables affecting the performance related to the instruction function) by shifting from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section. ..

(Non-AT production state, AT production state)
In the non-AT effect state, the auxiliary effect is executed less frequently than in the AT effect state (for example, the auxiliary effect is executed only when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is determined), so the number of medals that can be obtained is Be restricted. Here, as the non-AT effect state, five effect states such as a normal effect state, a main precursor effect state, a ghost precursor effect state, an advantageous standby effect state, and a non-advantageous standby effect state are provided.

In the AT effect state, it is possible to obtain a large number of medals while suppressing the consumption of medals by causing the auxiliary effect executing means to execute the auxiliary effect at the time of winning the selected winning type. Therefore, the player can advance the game advantageously by shifting to the AT effect state as compared with the non-AT effect state. Here, as the AT effect state, two effect states such as a normal AT effect state and a continuous effect state are provided. Hereinafter, each effect state will be described individually.

(Each production state)
The normal effect state (first state) is an effect state corresponding to the initial state among the plurality of effect states. The effect state control means 314 performs an AT lottery in a normal effect state. The AT lottery is a lottery that determines the transition to the AT effect state (normal AT effect state), and the effect state control means 314 performs an AT lottery with a different probability for each winning type determined by the winning type lottery. Then, when the AT lottery is won, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the present precursor effect state (1).

Further, when a predetermined ceiling condition (for example, a normal effect state and a continuous ceiling game number elapse) is satisfied in the normal effect state (so-called ceiling arrival), the effect state control means 314 changes the effect state. Shift to this precursor production state (1).

The present precursor effect state (third state) stays for the number of precursor games within 32 games, and the effect control means 334 executes an effect of suggesting or notifying the transition to the normal AT effect state. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal AT effect state when the number of precursor games has elapsed (2).

Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the ghost sign effect state in a part of the case where the AT lottery is not won in the normal effect state (3). In the Gase precursor effect state, the AT lottery is performed with the same transition probability as in the normal effect state. Further, the Gase precursor effect state stays over the number of precursor games as in the present precursor effect state, and the effect control means 334 executes an effect suggesting a transition to the normal AT effect state. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when the number of precursory games elapses without winning the AT lottery (4). In addition, in this precursor effect state and the Gase precursor effect state, the same effect that is expected to shift to the normal AT effect state is executed halfway, and finally (the last few games) the transition to the normal AT effect state is performed. Whether or not it is possible will be notified.

In the normal AT effect state (second state), the number of navigations (execution number d), which is the number of auxiliary effects that can win a winning combination that receives 15 payouts, becomes a predetermined number of times. Auxiliary production is executed until (to reach) is established. That is, the normal AT effect state is a so-called navigation frequency management type AT effect state. Then, when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the normal AT effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the standby effect state indicated by the alternate long and short dash line (5), (6).

The standby effect state is provided with an advantageous standby effect state, which is an advantageous section, and a non-advantageous standby effect state, which is a non-advantageous section. Specifically, in the final game of the normal AT effect state, the effect state control means 314 performs a continuous lottery as to whether or not to shift (continue) to the normal AT effect state again. Then, when the continuous lottery is won, the effect state control means 314 continues the advantageous section and temporarily shifts the effect state to the advantageous standby effect state (5). Further, the effect state control means 314 performs an advantageous continuous lottery when a specific condition (for example, the net increase in the number of sheets in the advantageous section is 400 or less) is satisfied even if the continuous lottery is not won, and the advantageous continuation is continued. If the lottery is won, the advantageous section is continued and the effect state is shifted to the advantageous standby effect state (5). On the other hand, if the continuous lottery is not won and the specific condition is not satisfied, or if the advantageous continuous lottery is not won even if the specific condition is satisfied, the effect state control means 314 temporarily sets the advantageous section. While shifting to the non-advantageous section, the effect state is shifted to the non-advantageous standby effect state (6).

In the standby effect state, two games are continued regardless of whether the standby effect state is the advantageous standby effect state or the non-advantageous standby effect state. When the continuous lottery is won and the state is shifted to the advantageous standby effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the continuous effect state after two games have elapsed (7).

Further, when the continuous lottery is not won and the advantageous continuous lottery is won and the state is shifted to the advantageous standby effect state, the effect state control means 314 performs the continuous lottery in each of the two games. Then, after the lapse of two games, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the continuous effect state regardless of whether the continuous lottery is won or not (7).

On the other hand, in the case of shifting to the non-advantageous standby effect state, in the first game, the effect state control means 314 performs an advantageous section transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous section. In addition, the advantageous section transition lottery of this embodiment is always won. Therefore, the effect state control means 314 shifts the game section to the advantageous section when the first game in the non-advantageous standby effect state ends. Further, when the state is shifted to the non-advantageous standby effect state, the effect state control means 314 performs a continuous lottery in each of the two games. Then, after the lapse of two games, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the continuous effect state regardless of whether the continuous lottery is won or not (8).

The continuous effect state continues until a predetermined end condition (for example, the progress of 10 games) is satisfied, during which the effect control means 334 notifies the lottery result of the continuous lottery. Then, if the continuous lottery is won, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the normal AT effect state again (9). On the other hand, if the continuous lottery is not won, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state (10). In the continuous production state, a so-called rewriting lottery may be performed in which the transition to the normal AT production state is determined by the lottery when the continuous production state is not won.

<Auxiliary production of winning type "Batting order chance role">
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an auxiliary effect when the winning type “batting order chance combination” is determined. By the way, as will be described in detail later, when the winning type "batting order chance combination" (specific winning type) is determined by the winning type lottery in the normal production state and the gassing sign production state, the winning combination "1 piece combination" (first). (Winning combination) and the winning combination "2 cards" (1st winning combination) or the winning combination "1 card" (1st winning combination) can win at the same time (low payout batting order, 1st) An auxiliary effect to notify the operation) is executed. In addition, when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is determined by the winning type lottery in the normal production state and the gassing sign production state, the winning combination "15-card combination" (second winning combination) can be won in the batting order (high payout). The auxiliary effect of notifying the batting order and the second operation) is not executed. Then, when the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect, the winning combination "1 piece combination" and the winning combination "2 piece combination" or the winning combination "1 piece combination" will be awarded at the same time.

On the other hand, if the stop switch 120 is operated without following the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is determined, the winning combination "15-card combination" (second winning combination) will always win. Become.

In this way, if the number of payouts is small when the auxiliary effect is followed in the normal effect state and the state of the precursory effect, and the number of payouts is large when different operations are performed while ignoring the auxiliary effect, the player who intentionally does not follow the auxiliary effect. May appear.

Therefore, if the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect (indicated by "○" in the figure) when the winning type "batting order chance role" is won in the normal effect state and the gassing sign effect state, the number of payouts is small. AT lottery will be held.

On the other hand, when the player operates the stop switch 120 without following the auxiliary production when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won in the normal production state and the gassing sign production state (indicated by "x" in the figure). ), The number of payouts is large, but the AT lottery is not held.

In addition, in this precursory effect state, when the winning type "batting order chance role" is won, an auxiliary effect for notifying the low payout batting order is executed, and when the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect (in the figure, "○"). (Indicated), although the number of payouts is small, an additional lottery is performed in which a predetermined number of times, which is the upper limit of the number of times of navigation in the normal AT effect state, is added.

On the other hand, when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won, an auxiliary effect for notifying the low payout batting order is executed, and when the stop switch 120 is operated without following the auxiliary effect (indicated by "x" in the figure), Although the number of payouts is large, the additional lottery is not held. In addition, the number of navigations in the normal AT effect state that is subsequently transferred is incremented (changed) by 1. That is, even if the auxiliary effect is not actually executed, the auxiliary effect is executed (digested) once.

In this way, if the game profit (AT lottery, additional lottery) when the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance role" is won, is different between the normal effect state and the main sign effect state. By making it possible, it is possible to provide new playability.

Here, it is assumed that the number of navigations is not added when the stop switch 120 is operated without following the auxiliary effect of notifying the low payout batting order when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won in the present precursor effect state. Then, when the player grasps that the state has changed to the main sign effect state, the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect to pay out a low payout (2 or 3 cards), and to receive an additional lottery. It may be advantageous for the player to receive a high payout (15 cards) (the game profit may be high), and the game deviates from the original game performance. It can be.

Therefore, in the present precursor production state, unlike the normal production state, when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won, the stop switch 120 is operated without following the auxiliary production, and the winning combination "15 cards" is paid out. When the role is won, the number of navigations in the normal AT production state is added by 1. By doing so, in the normal AT production state, the number of times the auxiliary production that assists the winning of the winning combination "15-card combination" is performed is subtracted once, and the total number of acquisitions is the same. Therefore, if the auxiliary effect is not followed in the present sign effect state, the player loses as much as the additional lottery cannot be received.

Therefore, it is possible to suppress the increase in the game profit by playing the game without following the auxiliary effect in the present precursor effect state, and it is possible to perform the game based on the original game performance.

In this embodiment, the number of navigations is added (changed), but in the case of the difference number (net increase number) management type, the difference number may be changed, and the game number management type. In that case, the average number of games for receiving 15 payouts may be changed.

Further, in the present embodiment, an AT lottery is performed when the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won in the normal production state, and the winning type "batting order chance" is performed in the present precursor effect state. When the "combination" is won and the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect, an additional lottery is performed. However, if the game profit when the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won between the normal effect state and the present sign effect state, what kind of game profit is different? It may be a game profit.

(Selection winning type)
As described above, in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the winning type "batting order strawberry" is adopted as the selection winning type, and the auxiliary production is performed in the AT production state, so that the unit in the AT production state is compared with the normal production state. The expected number of cards per game can be relatively increased.

FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a winning mode of the winning type “batting order strawberry”. Here, the stop control will be described by listing the batting orders 1, 2, and 7 of the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" as the winning type "batting order strawberry". As shown in the upper part of FIG. 36, the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry 1" is the winning combination "Small role 2" (correct answer role) in which the number of payouts is 15, and the winning combination "Small role" in which the number of payouts is 1. This is a selection winning type in which "14", "small winning combination 15", "small winning combination 18", and "small winning combination 19" (illegal role) are included in duplicate.

Here, when the priority is set based on the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line A, the higher the number of types of winning combination symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, the higher the priority. Also, when setting the priority based on the number of medals to be paid out, the priority is set to be higher as the number of small winning combinations corresponding to the symbol combination displayed on the valid line A is larger. Will be done.

As shown in FIG. 36, when the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a first according to the batting order 1 which is the correct answer operation mode, the symbol to be pulled in is Of "Replay", "Strawberry A", and "Black Circle", the design "Replay" that constitutes the winning combination "Small role 2" with the largest number of medals paid out is set to be displayed preferentially. Will be done. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "replay" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small role 19" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" will win the winning combination. Only "small role 2", "small role 14", "small role 15", and "small role 18" have the possibility of winning. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b second according to the batting order 1, which is the correct answer operation mode, the medal is paid out from the symbols "strawberry A" and "cherry" to be drawn in. The symbol "strawberry A" constituting the winning combination "small combination 2", which has the largest number of 15 sheets, is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "strawberry A" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "strawberry A" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "Strawberry A" stops on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 18" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" will win, and the winning combination will be won. Only the roles "small role 2", "small role 14", and "small role 15" are left with the possibility of winning. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third according to the batting order 1, which is the correct answer operation mode, among the symbols "bell", "red 7", and "cherry" to be pulled in. , The symbol "bell" constituting the winning combination "small combination 2", which has the largest number of medals to be paid out, is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "bell" has PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "bell" on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, the winning combinations "small winning combination 14" and "small winning combination 15" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" can be won. There is no possibility of winning a prize only for the winning role "small role 2". Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d fourth according to the batting order 1, which is the correct answer operation mode, the symbol "replay" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. To. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "replay" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "replay" is stopped on the effective line A of the 4th reel 110d, the winning combination "small combination 2" is confirmed. Here, by performing the operation according to the batting order 1, which is the correct answer operation mode, the winning combination "small combination 2" (correct answer combination) that can receive the maximum number of payouts of 15 is awarded with PB = 1. Is possible.

Next, as shown in FIG. 36, when the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 2 which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the pull-in is performed. Of the target symbols "Replay", "Strawberry A", and "Black Circle", the symbol "Replay" that constitutes the winning combination "Small Role 2" with the largest number of medals paid out is displayed preferentially. Is set to. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "replay" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small role 19" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" will win the winning combination. Only "small role 2", "small role 14", "small role 15", and "small role 18" have the possibility of winning. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b second according to the batting order 2, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the medal of the symbols "strawberry A" and "cherry" to be drawn in is The symbol "strawberry A" constituting the winning combination "small combination 2", which has the largest number of payouts of 15, is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "strawberry A" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "strawberry A" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "Strawberry A" stops on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 18" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" will win, and the winning combination will be won. Only the roles "small role 2", "small role 14", and "small role 15" are left with the possibility of winning. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d third according to the batting order 2, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the symbols "replay", "cherry", and "red 7" to be pulled in are displayed. Of these, the symbol "cherry" constituting the winning combination "small combination 14", which has the largest number of types of winning combination symbols that can be displayed on the valid line A, is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "cherry" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "cherry" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "cherry" on the effective line A of the 4th reel 110d, the winning roles "small role 2" and "small role 15" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" can be won. There is no possibility of winning a prize only for the winning role "small role 14". That is, by stopping the symbol "cherry" at PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it is possible to avoid winning the winning combination "small combination 2" (correct answer combination) in which the number of payouts is 15. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c fourth according to the batting order 2, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the symbol "cherry" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Will be done. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "cherry" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "cherry" has PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "cherry" stops on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, the winning combination "small combination 14" is confirmed. Here, by performing an operation according to the batting order 2, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, it is possible to win a winning combination "small combination 14" that can receive one payout, which is the minimum value of the number of payouts, with PB = 1. Become. Here, an example has been described in which the symbol constituting the winning combination “small combination 14” in the 4th reel 110d stopped fourth is the symbol “cherry” with PB = 1. However, not limited to this case, as described above, all other winning combinations (winning combination "small role 2", "small role 15", "small role" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" in the third stop As long as the winning possibility of the winning combination 18 ”and“ small winning combination 19 ”) is excluded, the symbol of PB ≠ 1 may be adopted as the symbol constituting the winning combination“ small winning combination 14 ”.

Next, as shown in FIG. 36, when the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 7, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the pull-in is performed. Of the target symbols "Strawberry A", "Cherry", and "Bell", the symbols that make up the winning combination "Small role 19", which has the largest number of types of winning combination symbols that can be displayed on the effective line A. "Bell" is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "bell" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "bell" stops on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, the winning roles "small role 2", "small role 14", and "small role" included in the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" are included. There is no possibility that "15" and "small role 18" will win, and only the winning combination "small role 19" will have the possibility of winning. That is, by stopping the symbol "bell" at PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it is possible to avoid winning the winning combination "small combination 2" (correct answer combination) in which the number of payouts is 15. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a second according to the batting order 7, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the symbol "strawberry A" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "strawberry A" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. The symbol "strawberry A" has PB ≠ 1 on the left reel 110a, and when operated randomly, it can be displayed on the effective line A only at 1/2 by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third according to the batting order 7, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the symbol "strawberry A" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "strawberry A" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "Strawberry A" has PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d fourth according to the batting order 7, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the symbol "BAR" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Will be done. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "BAR" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "BAR" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Therefore, by performing the operation according to the batting order 7, which is an incorrect answer operation mode, it is possible to win the winning combination "small combination 19" that can receive one payout, which is the minimum value of the number of payouts, with a probability of 1/2. Will be. Here, an example has been described in which the symbol constituting the winning combination “small combination 19” on the second stopped left reel 110a is the symbol “strawberry A” with PB ≠ 1. However, in the first stop, all other winning combinations included in the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry 1" (winning roles "small role 2", "small role 14", "small role 15", "small role 18") Since the possibility of winning is excluded, a symbol of PB ≠ 1 may be adopted as a symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 19" in any of the reels 110 of the second stop, the third stop, and the fourth stop. ..

Here, the stop control is described by citing the batting order 1, 2, and 7 when the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" is won, but the batting order 3 to 6 and the batting order 13 to 24 are the same as the batting order 2. Stop control is performed, the player can receive one medal payout, and for batting orders 8 to 12, the same stop control as in batting order 7 is performed, and the player has a 1/2 probability. You can get a payout of one medal.

In this way, by adopting the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" as the selection winning type and performing the auxiliary production in the AT production state, the expected number of sheets per unit game in the AT production state is relatively higher than that in the non-AT production state. Can be enhanced. Specifically, even if the winning type "batting order strawberry" is won in the non-AT effect state, the auxiliary effect is hardly performed, so the player decides the batting order (for example, left-pressed batting order 1) with the stop switch 120. The expected number of cards per unit game is (15 cards (correct answer) x 1 + 1 cards x 17 + 1/2 cards x 6) / 24 ≈ 1.46 cards. On the other hand, if the winning type "batting order strawberry" is won in the AT effect state, the auxiliary effect is executed, so that the player can operate according to the correct answer operation mode (here, batting order 1), and the expectation per unit game is obtained. The number of sheets will be 15. In this way, by staying in the AT production state, the player can obtain a lot of game profits in a short time while suppressing the consumption of medals, so that the player's motivation to play can be improved. can.

However, in order to increase the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the AT production state, as described above, if the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the non-AT production state is set to be relatively low, the non-AT production state is set. By continuing to stay in, the investment amount of the player will be unnecessarily large. On the other hand, if an attempt is made to suppress a decrease in the expected number of acquired sheets per unit game in the non-AT effect state while increasing the expected number of acquired sheets per unit game in the AT effect state, the probability of transition to the AT effect state may be set low. , There is no choice but to set a period during which the lottery is not held. Then, the frequency of transition to the AT production state decreases, which may result in the player feeling tired.

Therefore, by setting the probability of transition to the AT production state low or by setting the expected number of sheets per unit game in the non-AT production state relatively low without setting a period during which the lottery is not performed, the player's Consider increasing the difference in the expected number of sheets obtained between the non-AT production state and the AT production state while maintaining the motivation to play.

FIG. 37 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a winning mode of the winning type “batting order chance combination B”. Here, as the winning type "batting order chance combination B", the stop control will be described by giving the left push and the middle push of the winning type "batting order chance combination B1". As shown in the upper part of FIG. 37, the winning type "batting order chance combination B1" includes a winning combination "small combination 1" in which the number of payouts is 15, and a winning combination "small combination 33" in which the number of payouts is 1. This is a selection winning type in which "small winning combination 34" is included in duplicate. In this embodiment, when the winning type "batting order chance combination B" is won, the correct answer operation mode (correct answer combination) differs depending on whether it is in the non-AT effect state or the AT effect state. For example, in the non-AT effect state, it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) with a small number of payouts depending on the correct answer operation mode, and in the AT effect state, a winning combination (correct answer combination) with a large number of payouts is possible depending on the correct answer operation mode. It will be possible to win a prize. Here, an example will be described in which it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) having a small number of payouts depending on the non-AT effect state, that is, the correct answer operation mode.

Here, when the priority is set based on the type of the winning combination (conditional device) that can be displayed on the valid line A, the winning combination (conditional device) that can be displayed (overlapping) on the valid line A. The more types there are, the higher the priority is set, and when the priority is set based on the number of medals to be paid out, the number of small winning combinations corresponding to the symbol combinations displayed on the valid line A is set. The higher the number, the higher the priority.

As shown in FIG. 37, when the winning type "batting order chance combination B1" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a first according to the left push which is the correct answer operation mode, the pulling target is obtained. The symbol "replay" is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Here, there is still the possibility of winning all of the winning combinations "small winning combination 1", "small winning combination 33", and "small winning combination 34" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination B1". Subsequently, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b second, the winning combination that can be displayed on the effective line A among the symbols "cherry" and "strawberry A" to be drawn in. The symbol "strawberry A" constituting the winning combination "small combination 33" and "small combination 34", which has the largest number of types, is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "strawberry A" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "strawberry A" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "Strawberry A" on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 1" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination B1" will win. Only the winning wins "small win 33" and "small win 34" are left with the possibility of winning. That is, by stopping the symbol "Strawberry A" at PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it is possible to avoid winning the winning combination "small combination 1" in which the number of payouts is 15. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third, the symbol "replay" constituting the winning combination "small combination 34" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d fourth, the symbol "BAR" constituting the winning combination "small combination 33" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "BAR" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "BAR" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "BAR" stops on the effective line A of the 4th reel 110d, both the winning combination "small combination 33" and the winning combination "small combination 34" are confirmed. Here, by performing an operation by pushing left, the winning medals "small winning combination 33" and "small winning combination 34", each of which can receive one payout, which is the minimum number of payouts, are won with PB = 1 and the game is played. A person can receive a payout of 2 medals (1 + 1).

Further, here, by making sure that the winning combination "small combination 33" and "small combination 34" are won with PB = 1, the winning type that the player wins is the winning type "batting order chance combination B". It is possible to clearly indicate that, and it is possible to expect a game profit based on the winning type "batting order chance combination B".

Next, as shown in FIG. 37, when the winning type "batting order chance combination B1" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the middle push which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the pull-in is performed. Of the target symbols "Cherry" and "Strawberry A", the symbol "Cherry" that constitutes the winning combination "Small role 1" with the largest number of medals paid out is set to be displayed preferentially. Will be done. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "cherry" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "cherry" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "cherry" stops on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, the winning combinations "small winning combination 33" and "small winning combination 34" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination B1" are won. The possibility disappears, and the possibility of winning is left only for the winning combination "small role 1". That is, by stopping the symbol "cherry" at PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it is possible to avoid winning the winning winning combinations "small winning combination 33" and "small winning combination 34", each of which has one payout number. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a second, the symbol "replay" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third, the symbol "replay" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d fourth, the symbol "white circle" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "white circle" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "white circle" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "white circle" stops on the effective line A of the 4th reel 110d, the winning combination "small combination 1" is confirmed. Here, by performing an operation by pressing the middle button, it is possible to win a winning combination "small role 1" that can receive a payout of 15 pieces, which is the maximum number of pieces to be paid out, with PB = 1, and the player can win 15 pieces. You can get a medal payout.

Here, the stop control is explained by citing the left push and the middle push when the winning type "batting order chance combination B1" is won, but for the right push and the 4th push, the same stop control as the middle push is performed. The player can receive a payout of 15 medals.

As described above, when the winning type "batting order chance combination B" is won, the correct answer operation mode (correct answer combination) differs depending on whether it is in the non-AT effect state or the AT effect state. In particular, in the non-AT effect state, when the operation is performed in the correct answer operation mode, only two cards are paid out, but when the operation is performed in the incorrect answer operation mode, 15 cards can be paid out.

It should be noted that, here, the operation mode in which the winning combination with a smaller number of payouts is awarded can be assisted as the correct answer operation mode for the following reasons. That is, with respect to other winning combinations (winning combination "small combination 1" in FIG. 37), there is only one type of winning combination that can be displayed on the valid line A in the arrangement, whereas the target winning combination is the target. (In FIG. 37, the winning combination "small combination 33" and "small combination 34") can be displayed simultaneously (overlapping) on the valid line A in the arrangement, and the winning combination that can be displayed on the valid line A. This is because if there are two types, the number of winning combinations will be larger than that of the other winning combinations, and it is considered that the player can advance the game in an advantageous manner. The player can display a plurality of winning combinations on the effective line A by such an auxiliary effect.

In this way, the expected number of acquisitions per unit game is higher than the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the AT production state when the player randomly operates in the non-AT production state (investment). (The amount can be suppressed) However, by deliberately performing an auxiliary production to win a winning combination with a small number of payouts and adopting a playability that relatively lowers the expected number of winnings per unit game, the non-AT production state and AT It is possible to increase the difference in the expected number of acquisitions from the production state and improve the player's motivation to play.

However, if the number of payouts is small when the auxiliary effect is followed in the non-AT effect state, and the number of payouts is large when different operations are performed while ignoring the auxiliary effect, a player who intentionally does not follow the auxiliary effect may appear. .. Therefore, in the winning of the winning type "batting order chance role B", a lottery of the AT production state (CZ production state) is performed, and the game is regarded as a so-called ceiling digestion game (or the number of games reached on the ceiling is shortened). If you do not follow the auxiliary effects, the specifications will be limited. That is, when the player wins the winning type "batting order chance combination B" in the non-AT effect state, if the player operates according to the correct answer operation mode according to the auxiliary effect, the lottery in the AT effect state is performed although the number of payouts is small. In addition, the game can be a so-called ceiling digestion game (or the number of games reached on the ceiling can be shortened). On the other hand, when the winning type "Batting Order Chance Role B" is won in the non-AT production state, if the player does not follow the auxiliary production and operates by the incorrect answer operation mode, the number of payouts is large, but the AT production state. The lottery cannot be received, and the game cannot be regarded as a so-called ceiling digestion game (or the number of games reached on the ceiling is shortened) (the number of games reached on the ceiling is extended). In other words, in order not to make the player ignore the auxiliary effect, a game benefit that is more advantageous as a result than the operation in the incorrect answer operation mode, for example, a lottery in the AT effect state is given. Since such playability is adopted, when the winning type "batting order chance combination B" is won in the non-AT production state, the operation mode in which the number of payouts is small is set as the correct operation mode, and the operation mode in which the number of payouts is large is set. It can be an incorrect operation mode.

In the lottery in the AT production state, the player follows the auxiliary production in the non-AT production state (or the winning combination "small role 33" and "small role 34" are won or two cards are paid out). After confirming, it is done after the third stop. However, not limited to such a case, in the non-AT effect state, the lottery in the AT effect state is performed according to the operation of the start switch 118, and when it is confirmed that the player does not follow the auxiliary effect, the lottery result is cancelled. May be.

With such a configuration, the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the non-AT production state can be made relatively low through the auxiliary production with respect to the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the AT production state, and the player's motivation to play is maintained. However, it is possible to increase the difference in the expected number of sheets obtained between the non-AT effect state and the AT effect state.

In the non-AT effect state, when the winning type "Batting order chance combination B" is won, the operation mode in which the number of payouts is small is the correct operation mode, and the operation mode in which the number of payouts is large is the incorrect answer operation mode. As explained above, when the winning type "Batting order chance combination B" is won in the AT production state, there is no limitation on the lottery in the AT production state, and the operation mode in which the number of payouts is large is the correct operation mode, and the operation mode in which the number of payouts is small is small. Is the incorrect answer operation mode. Therefore, when the winning type "batting order chance combination B" is won in the AT effect state, the auxiliary effect is executed, and the player operates the correct answer operation mode (for example, middle press other than the left push in the example of FIG. 37). The expected number of cards to be acquired per unit game is 15 cards (correct answer), which is the maximum number of cards to be paid out.

In the example of the winning type "batting order chance combination B" described with reference to FIG. 37, the winning combination "small combination 1" having a large number of payouts is paid out from the type (one) of winning combinations that can be displayed on the valid line A. Winning combination "Small role 33" and "Small role 34" can be displayed on the valid line A because there are more types of winning combination (2). , The operation mode for winning the "small role 34" was assisted as the correct answer operation mode. Therefore, two winning combinations will be won in duplicate. Therefore, as described in FIG. 37, at least one payout of the winning combination "small role 33" and one payout of the winning combination "small role 34". A total of 2 cards will be paid out.

Here, if the specified number required for the game is three and the number of payouts is two, one additional bed must be added to the paid out medals even though the two small roles have won. If so, the next game cannot be started. Therefore, it is assumed that the number of payouts for each of the two small winning combinations is not one, but two. Then, the specified number of 3 medals can be bet from the 4 medals paid out when the two small wins are won, and the next game can be started. However, when the number of sheets to be paid out is 4, the difference between the number of sheets to be paid out and the 15 sheets to be paid out when operated in the incorrect answer operation mode becomes small, and the effect of increasing the difference in the expected number of sheets to be obtained between the non-AT effect state and the AT effect state is obtained. Fading.

Therefore, here, the number of payouts of the two small winning combinations is different, for example, the number of payouts of one winning combination is one, and the number of payouts of the other winning combination is two, so that the total number of payouts is increased. An odd number, for example, three.

FIG. 38 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a winning mode of the winning type “batting order chance combination A”. Here, as the winning type "batting order chance combination A", the stop control will be described by giving the left push and the middle push of the winning type "batting order chance combination A1". As shown in the upper part of FIG. 38, the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" is a winning combination "small combination 1" in which the number of payouts is 15, and a winning combination "small combination 35" in which the number of payouts is 1. , This is a selection winning type in which the winning combination “small combination 36” with two payouts is included in duplicate. Also in this embodiment, as in FIG. 37, when the winning type “batting order chance combination A” is won, the correct answer operation mode (correct answer combination) differs depending on whether it is in the non-AT effect state or the AT effect state. For example, in the non-AT effect state, it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) with a small number of payouts depending on the correct answer operation mode, and in the AT effect state, a winning combination (correct answer combination) with a large number of payouts is possible depending on the correct answer operation mode. It will be possible to win a prize. Here, an example will be described in which it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) having a small number of payouts depending on the non-AT effect state, that is, the correct answer operation mode.

Here, as in FIG. 37, when the priority is set based on the types of winning combinations (conditional devices) that can be displayed on the valid line A, the more types of winning combinations that can be displayed on the valid line A, the higher the priority. When the degree is set to be high and the priority is set based on the number of medals to be paid out, the higher the number of small winning combinations corresponding to the symbol combination displayed on the valid line A, the higher the priority. Set to be high.

As shown in FIG. 38, when the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a first according to the left push which is the correct answer operation mode, the pulling target is obtained. Of the symbols "Replay", "Red 7", and "Bell", the symbols that make up the winning combination "Small role 35" and "Small role 36" that can be displayed on the valid line A with the largest number of types of winning combination. "Red 7" or "bell" is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 performs stop control so that the symbol "red 7" or "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A according to the operation of the stop switch 120a. In the arrangement of the symbols "red 7" and "bell", when both symbols are combined, PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, so that one of the symbols can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. .. In this way, by stopping the symbol "Red 7" or "Bell" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, the winning combination "small combination 1" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" can be won. There is no possibility of winning a prize only in the winning roles "small role 35" and "small role 36". That is, by stopping the symbol "bell" on the left reel 110a at PB = 1, it is possible to avoid winning the winning combination "small combination 1" in which the number of payouts is 15. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b second, the symbol "bell" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "bell" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third, the symbol "bell" constituting the winning combination "small combination 35" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "bell" has PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d fourth, the symbol "red 7" constituting the winning combination "small combination 36" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Is set to. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "red 7" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "red 7" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "Red 7" stops on the effective line A of the 4th reel 110d, both the winning combination "small combination 35" and the winning combination "small combination 36" are confirmed. Here, the winning combination "small winning combination 35" that can receive one payout, which is the minimum value of the number of payouts, and the winning combination "small winning combination 36" that can receive two payouts by performing an operation by pushing left. Is awarded with PB = 1, and the player can receive a payout of 3 medals (1 + 2).

Further, here, by making sure that the winning combination "small combination 35" and "small combination 36" are won at PB = 1, the winning type that the player wins is the winning type "batting order chance combination A". It is possible to clearly indicate that, and it is possible to expect a game profit based on the winning type "batting order chance combination A".

Next, as shown in FIG. 38, when the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b first according to the middle push which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the pull-in is performed. Of the target symbols "cherry" and "bell", the symbol "cherry" that constitutes the winning combination "small combination 1" with the largest number of medals paid out is set to be displayed preferentially. To. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "cherry" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "cherry" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "cherry" stops on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, the winning combinations "small winning combination 35" and "small winning combination 36" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" are won. The possibility disappears, and the possibility of winning is left only for the winning combination "small role 1". That is, by stopping the symbol "cherry" at PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, the winning combination "small winning combination 35" with one payout number and the winning combination "small winning combination 36" with two payouts are won. It can be avoided. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a second, the symbol "replay" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third, the symbol "replay" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120d is operated so as to stop the 4th reel 110d fourth, the symbol "white circle" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "white circle" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120d. Since the symbol "white circle" has PB = 1 on the 4th reel 110d, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "white circle" stops on the effective line A of the 4th reel 110d, the winning combination "small combination 1" is confirmed. Here, by performing an operation by pressing the middle button, it is possible to win a winning combination "small role 1" that can receive a payout of 15 pieces, which is the maximum number of pieces to be paid out, with PB = 1, and the player can win 15 pieces. You can get a medal payout.

Here, the stop control is explained by citing the left push and the middle push when the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" is won, but for the right push and the 4th push, the same stop control as the middle push is performed. The player can receive a payout of 15 medals.

In this way, the expected number of acquisitions per unit game is higher than the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the AT production state when the player randomly operates in the non-AT production state (investment). (The amount can be suppressed) However, by deliberately performing an auxiliary production to win a winning combination with a small number of payouts and adopting a playability that relatively lowers the expected number of winnings per unit game, the non-AT production state and AT It is possible to increase the difference in the expected number of acquisitions from the production state and improve the player's motivation to play.

Further, here, when the winning type "Batting Order Chance Combination A" is won in the non-AT production state, if the operation is performed according to the correct answer operation mode according to the auxiliary production, the winning combination "small combination 35" and the number of payouts are one. The winning combination "Small role 36" with two payouts will win a prize, and a total of three medals will be paid out. In this way, by setting the total number of payouts to 3, the suppression of the effect of increasing the difference between the expected acquisition number of the non-AT effect state and the AT effect state is minimized, and the player's motivation to play is improved. The player can start the next game without performing troublesome work such as betting an additional medal.

Here, in the AT production state, when the winning type "batting order strawberry" (first selection winning type) is won, the winning combination "small role 2" (first selection winning type 2) that can receive the maximum payout of 15 pieces. 2) will notify you of the operation (2nd operation) that will allow you to win, and when you win the winning type "Batting Order Chance" (2nd selection winning type), you will be paid out 15 cards, which is the maximum number of payouts. The winning combination "small role 1" (fourth role) that can be received is notified of the operation (fourth operation) that can be won, and in the non-AT production state, the winning type "batting order chance combination" (second selection winning type) At the time of winning, the winning winning combination "small winning combination 33", "small winning combination 34", "small winning combination 35", and "small winning combination 36" (third role) with less than 15 payouts can be awarded (third operation). ) Was described with an example. At this time, the winning combination "small winning combination 2" (second role) in the winning type "batting order strawberry" (first selection winning type) and the high payout in the winning type "batting order chance combination" (second selection winning type) The number of payouts (dividends) with the winning winning combination "small winning combination 1" (fourth winning combination) is equal to 15.

In this way, by equalizing the number of high-payout payouts for the winning type "batting order strawberry" and the winning type "batting order chance role", it is possible to reduce the processing load when paying out high payouts such as the AT production state. .. For example, as described above, when the AT production state is the difference number management type, the difference number is 12 in common regardless of whether the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won. The maximum number of payouts is 15-the specified number is 3).

Here, as described above, in the AT production state, not only when the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" is won, but also when the winning type "Batting Order Chance" is won, 15 cards can be paid out. An auxiliary production is performed in which a winning combination (for example, the winning combination "small role 1") can be won. In other words, not only the winning type "batting order strawberry" but also the winning type "batting order chance role" is targeted as the winning type that can obtain a high game profit by performing the auxiliary production.

With this configuration, not only the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" but also the winning type "Batting Order Chance" can be paid out, so that the player can receive a lot of game profits in a short time. Can be obtained.

In this case, not only the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order strawberry" is won, but also the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance role" is won is counted as the game profit in the AT effect state. For example, in the case of the difference number management as in the present embodiment, the effect state control means 314 wins the winning type "batting order strawberry", and when 15 sheets are paid out through the auxiliary effect, the difference number is 12 (maximum payout). Even if you count 15 cards-the specified number of 3 cards and win the winning type "Batting Order Chance" and receive 15 cards paid out through the auxiliary production, the difference number is 12 cards (maximum number of cards paid out 15 cards-). (Specified number of 3 sheets) is counted. The effect state control means 314 continues the AT effect state until the difference number becomes the predetermined difference number or more, and ends the AT effect state when the difference number becomes the predetermined difference number or more.

In addition, although the example of managing the difference number is given here, not only in such a case, but also in various management modes of the AT production state, not only the auxiliary production when the winning type "batting order strawberry" is won, but also the auxiliary production. The auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance role" is won is also counted as the game profit in the AT effect state. Specifically, the effect state control means 314 manages the AT effect state not by the difference number but by the digestion of various game opportunities that can receive the auxiliary effect, for example, by the number of payouts (payout number management), or by 15 sheets. In any case of managing by the number of navigations (navigation number management), which is the number of auxiliary productions that can win the winning combination that receives the payout, if only the auxiliary production when the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" is won However, the auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance role" is won is also counted as the game profit in the AT effect state. Then, in the AT effect state, the effect state control means 314 counts the payout number of the winning winning combination in the payout number management, continues the AT effect state until the predetermined payout number or more, and sets the payout number or more. When it becomes, the AT production state ends. Similarly, in the AT effect state, the effect state control means 314 counts the number of navigations of the winning winning combination in the navigation number management, continues the AT effect state until the predetermined number of navigations or more, and exceeds the predetermined number of navigations. When it becomes, the AT production state is terminated. Further, the effect state control means 314 performs an additional lottery for the difference number, the number of payouts, or the number of navigations in the AT effect state where the auxiliary effect can be received, and when the additional lottery is won, the difference number, the number of payouts, or the navigation Increase the number of times (change the end condition).

In addition, in the non-AT production state, if the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" is won, the auxiliary production is not performed, so the expected number of cards to be obtained per unit game is (15 cards (correct answer) x 1 + 1 cards x 17 + 1/2. Sheets x 6) / 24 ≒ 1.46 sheets, and if you win the winning type "Batting Order Chance Role A", an auxiliary effect will be performed, and the expected number of cards won per unit game will be 3 cards, and the winning type "Batting Order Chance" If the "role B" is won, an auxiliary effect is performed, and the expected number of cards to be obtained per unit game is two. On the other hand, regardless of whether the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" or the winning type "Batting Order Chance" is won in the AT production state, the auxiliary production is executed, so the expected number of cards to be obtained per unit game is 15. Become. In this way, by setting the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the non-AT production state low and setting the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the AT production state as the maximum number of payouts, the expected acquisition per unit game of both parties is obtained. The difference in the number of sheets can be large. Therefore, by staying in the AT effect state, the player can obtain a large amount of game profit in a short time while suppressing the consumption of medals, so that the player's motivation to play can be improved.

In addition, when the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" (1st selection winning type) is won, if the winning combination "Small role 2" (2nd role) that can receive the maximum number of payouts of 15 is won. At least three symbols are linearly displayed on any line in the symbol display window 108. For example, in the example of FIG. 36, in the symbol display window 108, a predetermined symbol combination (here, the symbols “strawberry A” and “strawberry”) are placed in the upper stage of the left reel 110a, the middle stage of the middle reel 110b, and the lower stage of the right reel 110c. The symbol combination of "A" and "Strawberry A" or the symbol combination of the symbols "Strawberry B", "Strawberry A" and "Strawberry A") is displayed linearly. In addition, when the winning combination "Batting Order Chance" (second selection winning type) is won, the winning combination "Small role 1" (fourth role) who can receive the maximum number of payouts of 15 is won. Also, as in the winning type "batting order strawberry", at least three symbols are linearly displayed on any line in the symbol display window 108. For example, in the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, in the symbol display window 108, a predetermined symbol combination (here, the symbol “strawberry A”” is placed on the upper stage of the left reel 110a, the upper stage of the middle reel 110b, and the upper stage of the right reel 110c. , "Strawberry A", "Strawberry A" symbol combination, or symbol "Strawberry B", "Strawberry A", "Strawberry A" symbol combination) is displayed linearly. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the winning combination "small combination 2" (second combination) wins, the combination of symbols displayed linearly on any line in the symbol display window 108 and the winning combination are won. When the combination "small combination 1" (fourth combination) is won, it is equal to the symbol combination displayed linearly on any line in the symbol display window 108.

With this configuration, the same symbol combination is linearly displayed in the symbol display window 108 at the time of winning either the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination" in the AT production state. It is possible to pay out 15 sheets, which is the maximum value of the number of sheets to be paid out. Therefore, in the AT production state, the player is not aware of whether the winning type is the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination", and the symbol combination displayed linearly. By visually recognizing, it becomes possible to recognize that the maximum number of payouts has been obtained.

It should be noted that the fact that the symbol combinations displayed linearly are equal is not limited to the case where the symbols constituting the symbol combinations displayed linearly are completely equal, but also constitutes, for example, the symbol combinations displayed linearly. It also includes the case where each symbol is a different symbol that can be recognized as the same small role by the player, such as the symbol “Strawberry A” and the symbol “Strawberry B”.

In addition, with a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination "Small role 2" (second role) that can receive a payout of 15 sheets, which is the maximum number of payouts constituting the winning type "batting order strawberry" (first selection winning type). , A combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination "Small role 1" (4th role) that can receive the maximum number of payouts of 15 at the time of winning the winning type "Batting order chance combination" (2nd selection winning type). That is, both condition devices can be made equal.

With this configuration, the maximum number of payouts is displayed while displaying the same symbol combination on the valid line A at the time of winning either the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination" in the AT production state. It is possible to pay out 15 cards. Therefore, in the AT production state, the player is displayed on the effective line A without being aware of whether the winning type is the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination". By visually recognizing the symbol combination, it is possible to recognize that the maximum number of payouts has been obtained.

FIG. 39 is a diagram showing the number of places in the winning type lottery table. In FIG. 39, the number of the winning type lottery table shown in FIG. 7 will be described in particular. Here, the winning type is divided into multiple types, for example, the winning type "batting order strawberry" (first selection winning type), the winning type "batting order chance combination" (second selection winning type), and the winning type "replay" (replay winning type). ). As the winning type "batting order strawberry", the number 1870 is evenly assigned to the winning type "batting order strawberry 1" to the winning type "batting order strawberry 24" in the winning areas 4 to 27. Therefore, the total number of winning types "batting order strawberries" is 1870 x 24 = 44880. In addition, as the winning type "batting order chance combination", the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" to the winning type "batting order chance combination A4" are evenly assigned 128, and the winning areas 32 to 35 are assigned. The winning type "Batting order chance combination B1" to the winning type "Batting order chance combination B4" are evenly assigned the number 612. Therefore, the total number of winning types “batting order chance combination” is 128 × 4 + 612 × 4 = 2960. As for the winning type "replay", the winning type "normal replay 1" of the winning area 36 is assigned a number of 4 in the non-internal gaming state and 8 in the RBB internal medium gaming state, and the winning area 37 is won. The number 3524 is assigned to the type "normal replay 2", the number 1400 is assigned to the winning type "normal replay 3" of the winning area 38, and the number 1200 is assigned to the winning type "normal replay 4" of the winning area 39. The winning type "normal replay 5" of the winning area 40 is assigned a number of 800, the winning type of the winning area 41 "normal replay 6" is assigned a number of 500, and the winning type of the winning area 42 is "chance replay". 400 is assigned to the winning area 43, 800 is assigned to the winning type "weak bell" of the winning area 43, 90 is assigned to the winning type "strong bell" of the winning area 44, and the winning type of the winning area 45 is assigned. The number 20 is assigned to the "strong cherry 1", and the number 200 is assigned to the winning type "strong cherry 2" in the winning area 46. Therefore, the total number of winning types "replay" is 8938 in the non-internal gaming state and 8942 in the RBB internal medium gaming state.

The number of winning types "batting order strawberry", winning type "batting order chance role", and winning type "replay" are roughly divided into winning type "batting order strawberry"> winning type "batting order chance role" and winning type. The relationship of "replay"> winning type "batting order chance role" is established. This is for the following reasons. That is, the winning type "batting order chance combination" is accompanied by an auxiliary effect in the non-AT effect state, and the player operates the stop switch 120 according to the auxiliary effect in order to receive the lottery in the AT effect state. However, if the frequency of executing the auxiliary effect is too high in the non-AT effect state, the player is forced to operate according to the correct operation mode, and there is a possibility that the player spends time on the game. Here, by making the number of placements of the winning type "batting order chance combination" smaller than the number of placements of either the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "replay", the frequency of auxiliary production in the non-AT production state is suppressed. be able to.

Further, in general, a role having a high game profit such as a high probability of winning the AT production state may be referred to as a rare role. In this embodiment, the winning type "weak cherry 1" in the winning area 3, the winning type "chance replay" in the winning area 42, the winning type "weak bell" in the winning area 43, and the winning type "strong bell" in the winning area 44. , The winning type "strong cherry 1" in the winning area 45, the winning type "strong cherry 2" in the winning area 46, and the winning type "RBB + weak cherry 2" in the winning area 47 correspond to the rare role. The winning type including such a rare role may be referred to as a winning type "rare role" (rare role winning type). A rare role, the winning type "weak cherry 1" in the winning area 3 is assigned a number 220, the winning type "chance replay" in the winning area 42 is assigned a number 400, and the winning type 43 in the winning area 43 is "weak". The number 800 is assigned to the "bell", the number 90 is assigned to the winning type "strong bell" in the winning area 44, the number 20 is assigned to the winning type "strong cherry 1" in the winning area 45, and the winning area 46 is assigned. 200 is assigned to the winning type "strong cherry 2", and 60 is assigned to the winning type "RBB + weak cherry 2" in the winning area 47. Therefore, the total number of winning types corresponding to the rare role is 1790.

The number of winning types corresponding to such rare roles and the number of winning types "Batting Order Strawberry" and the winning type "Batting Order Chance" are the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry"> Winning Type "Batting Order Chance". The relationship of winning type corresponding to "role" and winning type "batting order chance role"> rare role is established. This is for the following reasons. That is, by making the number of the winning type "batting order chance combination" smaller than the number of the winning type "batting order strawberry", the frequency of the auxiliary effect in the non-AT effect state can be suppressed. In addition, by making the number of rare roles smaller than either the winning type "Batting Order Chance" or the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry", the frequency of appearance of rare roles is reduced, and the AT production state is increased accordingly. It is possible to increase the game profit, such as having a high winning probability.

Further, by adjusting the number of winning type lottery tables shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, different playability can be configured.

FIG. 40 is a diagram showing the number of places in the winning type lottery table. FIG. 40 is an excerpt of the winning areas 4 to 31 in the RBB internal middle game state in the winning type lottery table shown in FIG. 6, and is associated with a different number from that of FIG. 7. Here, the winning order (batting order 1 to 6) in which the left reel 110a is first stopped is the winning type in which the number of each winning type of the winning type "batting order strawberry" in the winning areas 4 to 27 is not equalized. The purpose is to make the number of "batting order strawberry 1" to "batting order strawberry 6" smaller than other batting orders (batting order 7 to 24).

In the non-AT effect state, even if the winning type "batting order strawberry" is won, the auxiliary effect is not executed, so that the player decides the batting order by himself / herself or operates it at random. In the case of a specification that is advantageous to the player when the left reel 110a is operated in the batting order (batting order 1 to 6) that is first stopped, the player is in the batting order (batting order 1 to 6) that first stops the left reel 110a. Manipulate. At this time, if the number of winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 1" to "Batting Order Strawberry 6" is smaller than the number of other winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 7" to "Batting Order Strawberry 24", the unit game in the non-AT effect state. It is possible to reduce the expected number of winnings. Further, in the non-AT effect state, if the winning type "batting order chance combination A" is won, the auxiliary effect is executed as described above, and the player operates the stop switch 120 according to the auxiliary effect. The expected number of acquisitions will be three. Here, since the number of each winning type of the winning type "batting order chance combination A" is evenly distributed, the appearance frequency of the auxiliary effect is the same.

On the other hand, if the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" is won in the AT production state, the auxiliary production is executed, and the expected number of cards to be obtained per unit game is 15. However, since the number of winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 1" to "Batting Order Strawberry 6" is smaller than the number of other winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 7" to "Batting Order Strawberry 24", the appearance frequency of auxiliary effects is biased. It ends up. Therefore, the bias of the auxiliary production is absorbed by the winning type "batting order chance role A". That is, when the winning type "batting order chance combination A1" is won in the AT production state, any one of the batting order 7 to 24 is evenly notified as an auxiliary effect, and the winning type "batting order chance combination A2" to the winning type "batting order". If you win the chance role A4, you will be evenly notified of any of the batting orders 1 to 6 as an auxiliary effect. In this case as well, the expected number of cards to be obtained per unit game is 15. However, the probability that any one of batting orders 1 to 6 will be notified as an auxiliary effect is nine times the probability that any one of batting orders 7 to 24 will be notified. Therefore, by adjusting the ratio of the number of the winning type "batting order strawberry" and the winning type "batting order chance combination A", the appearance frequency of the auxiliary effect in the AT effect state can be made equal.

Specifically, the number of winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 1" to "Batting Order Strawberry 6" is α, the number of winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 7" to "Batting Order Strawberry 24" is β, and the winning type "Batting Order Chance Role A1". -Assuming that the number of positions of the winning type "batting order chance combination A4" is γ, each number is set so that α + γ / 2 = β + γ / 18 holds. For example, as shown in FIG. 40, when α = 1790, β = 1870, and γ = 180 are set, α + γ / 2 = β + γ / 18 holds. By setting in this way, the probability that any of the batting orders 1 to 6 will be notified as the auxiliary effect in the AT effect state is (α + γ / 2) / 65536 = 1880/65536, and the batting order 7 to 24 as the auxiliary effect. The probability that any of the above is notified is (β + γ/18) / 65536 = 1880/65536, and it can be understood that the appearance frequencies of the batting order of the auxiliary effect in the AT effect state are equal. As described above, in the AT production state, the same symbol combination is linearly placed in the symbol display window 108 at the time of winning either the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination". While displaying, it is possible to pay out 15 sheets, which is the maximum value of the number of payouts. Therefore, in the AT production state, the player is not aware of whether the winning type is the winning type "batting order strawberry" or the winning type "batting order chance combination", and the symbol combination displayed linearly. By visually recognizing, it becomes possible to recognize that the maximum number of payouts has been obtained. Further, since the number of each winning type of the winning type "batting order chance combination A" is evenly distributed to 180, the appearance frequency of the batting order of the auxiliary effect is the same.

With this configuration, the batting order in which the left reel 110a is first stopped (batting order 1 to 6) while equalizing the appearance frequency of the batting order of the auxiliary effect in the AT effect state and the appearance frequency of the batting order of the auxiliary effect in the non-AT effect state. The number of winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 1" to "Batting Order Strawberry 6" is smaller than the number of other winning types "Batting Order Strawberry 7" to "Batting Order Strawberry 24", and the non-AT effect state is achieved. It is possible to reduce the expected number of batting orders per unit game in.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modifications or modifications within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Will be done.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 36, the winning winning combination “small winning combination 14”, “small winning combination 15”, “small winning combination 18”, and “small winning combination 19” (small winning combination 19) with one payout number. In both cases, the winning combination "small combination 2" (second combination), in which the number of payouts is 15, overlaps with the winning combination (first combination), and the winning combination is based on the batting order 2 to 24 (first operation), which is an incorrect answer operation mode. One of "Small role 14", "Small role 15", "Small role 18", and "Small role 19" can win a prize, and the winning combination "Small role" is achieved by batting order 1 (second operation), which is the correct operation mode. The winning type "Batting order strawberry" (first selection winning type) set so that "2" can be won is determined by the winning type lottery, and when the winning type "Batting order strawberry" is won in the AT production state, the correct answer operation mode is used as an auxiliary effect. An example of notifying the batting order 1 is described. However, not limited to such a case, the predetermined first combination and the predetermined second combination are overlapped, the first combination can be won by the first operation, and the second combination can be won by the second operation. It suffices if the first selection winning type is determined by the winning type lottery and the second operation is notified at the time of winning the first selection winning type in the AT effect state. Further, at this time, the relationship between the number of payouts at the time of winning may be 1st role <2nd role.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 37, the number of payouts is 15 such as the winning winning combination “small winning combination 33” and “small winning combination 34” (both are the third winning combination). The winning combination "Small role 1" (4th role) overlaps with the winning combination "Small role 1" (4th role), and one or both of the winning combination "Small role 33" and the winning combination "Small role 34" can be selected by pushing left (third operation). The winning type "Batting Order Chance B" (2nd selection winning type) is set so that the winning combination "small role 1" can be won by pressing the middle, right, and 4th (both are the 4th operation). An example of notifying a left push as an auxiliary effect when the winning type "batting order chance combination B" is won in a non-AT effect state, which is determined by a winning type lottery, has been described. However, not limited to such a case, the predetermined third combination and the predetermined fourth combination overlap, the third combination can be won by the third operation, and the fourth combination can be won by the fourth operation. It suffices if the second selection winning type is determined by the winning type lottery and the third operation is notified at the time of winning the second selection winning type in the non-AT effect state. Further, at this time, the relationship between the number of payouts at the time of winning may be such that the third role <fourth role.

Further, in this way, the first winning combination and the second winning combination are overlapped, the first winning combination can be won by the first operation, and the second winning combination can be won by the second operation. And the second selection winning type in which the third and fourth roles overlap, the third role can be won by the third operation, and the fourth role can be won by the fourth operation. One of the winning types is determined by the winning type lottery, and the second operation may be notified when the first selection winning type is won in the AT production state, and when the second selection winning type is won in the non-AT production state. Assuming that the third operation may be notified, the relationship between the number of payouts at the time of winning is 2nd role> 3rd role, and the total when multiple 3rd roles win at the same time> 1st role. All you need is. With such a configuration, the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the non-AT production state can be made relatively low with respect to the expected number of acquisitions per unit game in the AT production state, and the player's motivation to play can be maintained. It is possible to increase the difference in the expected number of sheets obtained between the AT effect state and the AT effect state.

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 38, when the winning type "batting order chance combination A" (second selection winning type) is won in the non-AT effect state, the winning combination "small combination" is notified according to the left push (third operation). An example was given in which the number of payouts when the winning combination "35" (third role) and the winning combination "small role 36" (third role) win at the same time is the specified number (three). However, not limited to such a case, it is sufficient if the number of payouts when a plurality of third roles win at the same time according to the notification of the third operation at the time of winning the second selection winning type in the non-AT production state is equal to or more than the specified number. For example, any number of 4 to 14 may be set as the total of the plurality of third roles. In this way, by setting the total number of payouts to 3 or more, the suppression of the effect of increasing the difference between the expected acquisition number of the non-AT effect state and the AT effect state is minimized, and the player's willingness to play is minimized. While improving, the player can start the next game without performing the troublesome work such as betting an additional medal.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning combination "small combination 33" (third role) and the winning combination "small combination 34" (second selection winning type) overlap in the winning type "batting order chance combination B" (second selection winning type). The winning combination "small role 35" (third role) and the winning role "small role 36" that overlap in the two winning roles (three roles) and the winning type "batting order chance role A" (second selection winning type) The explanation was given with an example in which two winning combinations with (third role) can be won at the same time, but the winning combination that can be won at the same time is not limited to two, for example, three winning combinations with one payout number. It is sufficient that three or more winning combinations can be set to be able to win at one time, such as being able to win at the same time.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning combination "small combination 33" (third role) and the winning combination "small combination 34" (second selection winning type), which overlap in the winning type "batting order chance combination B" (second selection winning type), are duplicated. The winning combination "small role 35" (third role) and the winning role "small role 36" that overlap in the two winning roles (three roles) and the winning type "batting order chance role A" (second selection winning type) The explanation has been given with an example in which two winning combinations with (third combination) can win a prize on one effective line A at the same time, but not limited to this case, a plurality of winning combinations can be simultaneously placed on different effective lines. You may win a prize.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the number of reels 110 is four (left reel 110a, middle reel 110b, right reel 110c, 4th reel 110d) has been described with reference to the above, but the reel 110 is not limited to this case. It can also be applied when the number of is 3 (left reel 110a, middle reel 110b, right reel 110c) or 5 or more.

FIG. 41 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a winning mode of the winning type “batting order chance combination C”. Here, the reel 110 is composed of three left reels 110a, a middle reel 110b, and a right reel 110c in FIG. 3A, and the effective line A has nine symbols (3 reels ×) facing the symbol display window 108. Of the three stages (upper, middle, lower), it is assumed that the line is set to connect the positions corresponding to the symbols stopped at the middle stage of the left reel 110a, the middle stage of the middle reel 110b, and the middle stage of the right reel 110c. Further, here, the winning type "batting order chance combination C" is tentatively set. As shown in the upper part of FIG. 41, the winning type "batting order chance combination C" is a winning combination "small combination 4" (third role) with one payout number and a winning combination "small combination" with two payouts. It is assumed that the selection winning type includes the winning combination "small combination 3" (fourth role) in which the number of payouts is 15 and the combination 5 "(third role) is included. In addition, when the winning type "Batting Order Chance Combination C" is won, in the non-AT production state, it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) with a small number of payouts depending on the correct answer operation mode, and in the AT production state, the correct answer operation is performed. Depending on the mode, it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) with a large number of payouts. Here, an example will be described in which it is possible to win a winning combination (correct answer combination) having a small number of payouts depending on the non-AT effect state, that is, the correct answer operation mode.

As shown in FIG. 41, when the winning type "batting order chance combination C" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a first according to the left push which is the correct answer operation mode, the pulling target is obtained. Of the symbols "Replay", "Red 7", and "Bell", the symbols that make up the winning combination "Small role 4" and "Small role 5" that can be displayed on the valid line A with the largest number of types of winning combination. "Red 7" or "bell" is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 performs stop control so that the symbol "red 7" or "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A according to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the arrangement of the symbols "red 7" and "bell" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, any of the symbols can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "Red 7" or "Bell" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, the winning combination "Small role 3" included in the winning type "Batting order chance combination C" can be won. There is no possibility of winning a prize only in the winning roles "small role 4" and "small role 5". Subsequently, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b second, the symbol "bell" constituting the winning combination "small combination 5" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "bell" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third, the symbol "bell" constituting the winning combination "small combination 4" to be pulled in is preferentially displayed. Set. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "bell" has PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "bell" stops on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, both the winning combination "small combination 4" and the winning combination "small combination 5" are confirmed, and the player can decide. You can get 3 (1 + 2) medals paid out.

Next, as shown in FIG. 41, when the winning type "batting order chance combination C" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the middle push which is an incorrect answer operation mode, the pull-in is performed. Of the target symbols "cherry" and "bell", the symbol "cherry" that constitutes the winning combination "small combination 3" with the largest number of medals paid out is set to be displayed preferentially. To. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "cherry" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120b. Since the symbol "cherry" has PB = 1 on the middle reel 110b, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "cherry" on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 5" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination C" will win, and the winning combination will be won. Only the roles "small role 3" and "small role 4" are left with the possibility of winning. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a second, the number of medals to be paid out is 15 out of the symbols "replay", "red 7", and "bell" to be pulled in. The symbol "replay" constituting the winning combination "small combination 3", which is the largest number, is set to be displayed preferentially. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120a. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the left reel 110a, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, by stopping the symbol "replay" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 4" included in the winning type "batting order chance combination C" will win, and the winning combination will be won. Only the role "small role 3" has the possibility of winning. Subsequently, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third, the symbol "replay" to be pulled in is set to be preferentially displayed. Then, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "replay" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A in response to the operation of the stop switch 120c. Since the symbol "replay" is PB = 1 on the right reel 110c, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. In this way, when the symbol "replay" stops on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, the winning combination "small role 3" is confirmed to win, and the player can receive 15 medals to be paid out. can.

Here, when the winning type "Batting Order Chance Combination C" is won in the non-AT production state and the operation is performed according to the correct answer operation mode according to the auxiliary production, the number of winning combinations "small combination 4" and the number of payouts are one. However, the two winners, "Small Role 5", will win a prize, and a total of three medals will be paid out. In this way, by setting the total number of payouts to 3, the suppression of the effect of increasing the difference between the expected acquisition number of the non-AT effect state and the AT effect state is minimized, and the player's motivation to play is improved. The player can start the next game without performing troublesome processing such as betting an additional medal.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the transition mode of the effect state has been described with reference to FIG. However, the above-mentioned specifications of the winning type "batting order strawberry" and the winning type "batting order chance combination" can be applied not only to the example of FIG. 9 but also to various transition modes of the production state. Hereinafter, another example of the transition mode of the effect state will be described.

42 to 47 are explanatory views for explaining the transition of the effect state. Here, the effect state transitioned by the effect state control means 314 on the main control board 200 will be described in detail. Here, it is assumed that the gaming state is the RBB internal medium gaming state. In each figure, "Strawberry Navi" indicates whether or not to notify the winning combination in which the number of payouts is 15 when the winning type "Batting Order Strawberry" is won, and "Yes" indicates whether or not to notify the winning operation mode. "None" indicates that notification is not performed, and "low" indicates that notification is performed but the notification probability is low. In addition, "low payout navigation" indicates whether or not to notify the operation mode in which a winning combination with a payout number lower than 15 is notified when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won, and "Yes". Indicates to notify, and "nothing" indicates not to notify.

In the example of FIG. 42, first, it stays in the normal production state as the initial state. In the normal production state, there is no strawberry navigation and there is a low dividend navigation. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the AT-preparing effect state (1). In the AT preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the AT preparation state effect state (2). In the AT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. When the AT effect state ends, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the interval effect state (3). In the interval effect state, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“none” or “low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“yes” or “no”). The effect state control means 314 returns to the AT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the interval effect state (4). Further, in the effect state control means 314, the value counted in the advantageous section has reached a predetermined value (for example, the number of staying games has reached a predetermined number less than 1500, or the net increase number has reached a predetermined number less than 2400). Based on the fact that the number of sheets has been exceeded), the effect state is shifted to the ending effect state (5). In the ending production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the interval effect state or the ending effect state ends (6).

In the example of FIG. 43, first, it stays in the normal production state as the initial state. In the normal production state, there is no strawberry navigation and there is a low dividend navigation. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the CZAT preparing effect state (1). In the CZAT preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the CZAT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the CZAT preparation effect state (2). In the CZAT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. When the CZAT effect state ends, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the CZ effect state (3). In the CZ effect state, the strawberry navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state if a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the CZ effect state (4). Further, the effect state control means 314 may shift the effect state to the AT effect state even when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the CZAT effect state (5). In the AT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. When the AT effect state ends, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the interval effect state (6). In the interval effect state, the strawberry navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 returns to the AT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the interval effect state (7). Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the ending effect state based on the fact that the value counted in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined value (8). In the ending production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the CZ effect state or the interval effect state, or when the ending effect state ends (9).

In the example of FIG. 44, first, it stays in the normal production state as the initial state. In the normal production state, there is no strawberry navigation and there is a low dividend navigation. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the CZAT preparing effect state (1). In the CZAT preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“none” or “low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“yes” or “no”). The effect state control means 314 returns to the normal effect state when the effect state during preparation for CZAT ends (2). It should be noted that the effect state may be shifted to the interval effect state without immediately returning to the normal effect state after the end of the CZAT preparation effect state. When the interval effect state is provided, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”) and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”) in the interval effect state. .. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the CZAT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the CZAT preparation effect state (3). In the CZAT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the CZAT effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT-preparing effect state (4). In the production state during AT preparation, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. It should be noted that a specification in which the AT-preparing effect state is not provided as the effect state is also possible. In that case, the effect state control means 314 directly changes the effect state to the AT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the CZAT effect state. It will be migrated. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the AT preparation state effect state (5). In the AT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the ending effect state based on the value counted in the advantageous section reaching a predetermined value (6). In the ending production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the CZAT effect state or the AT effect state or the ending effect state ends (7).

In the example of FIG. 45, first, it stays in the normal production state as the initial state. In the normal production state, there is no strawberry navigation and there is a low dividend navigation. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the CZAT preparing effect state (1). In the CZAT preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“none” or “low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“yes” or “no”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the CZAT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the CZAT preparation effect state (2). In the CZAT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system, and the low payout navigation system can be set arbitrarily (“Yes” or “No”). Therefore, the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state if a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the CZAT effect state (3). In the AT production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. When the AT effect state ends, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the continuous judge effect state (4). In the continuous judge effect state, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 returns to the AT effect state if a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the time the continuous judge effect state ends (5). Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the ending effect state based on the value counted in the advantageous section reaching a predetermined value (6). In the ending production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the CZAT effect state or the continuous judge effect state or the ending effect state ends (7).

In the example of FIG. 46, first, it stays in the normal production state as the initial state. In the normal production state, there is no strawberry navigation and there is a low dividend navigation. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the pseudo-bo preparation in progress state (1). In the pseudo-bo preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the pseudo bonus effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the effect state during preparation for the pseudo-bo (2). The pseudo (pseudo) bonus effect state is an effect state simulating a bonus game state. For example, by displaying a symbol "Red 7" or the like reminiscent of a bonus role in a symbol display window 108 on a straight line, the effect is produced. Indicates the start of a state. In the pseudo-bonus production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so that the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT-preparing effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the pseudo-bonus effect state (3). On the other hand, when the effect state control means 314 ends the pseudo bonus effect state without satisfying a predetermined transition condition, the effect state shifts to the normal effect state (4). It should be noted that the effect state control means 314 may shift the effect state to the AT preparation state effect state if a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the pseudo-bo preparation stage effect state (5). In the AT preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the AT preparation state effect state (6). As the AT effect state, for example, a plurality of AT modes having different averages of expected acquisition numbers per unit game (1, 2, 4, 6, 6 sheets) are provided, and a plurality of effect state control means 314 are provided. The AT mode of 1 is determined from the AT mode of. If the AT effect state continues, the AT mode can be changed in predetermined set units, and once the AT mode is determined, the AT mode is united during the subsequent AT effect state. It can be said that the AT mode in which the average number of expected acquisitions per game is low is not selected. In the AT production state, there is a strawberry navigation, and depending on the AT mode, for example, if the average number of expected winnings per unit game is 1 or 2, the low payout navigation is set to arbitrary (“Yes” or “No”). If the average number of expected winnings per unit game is 4 or 6, the low payout navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes” or “No”), such as by eliminating the low payout navigation. In the AT production state, the player can acquire many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the special zone effect state if a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the AT effect state (7). In the specialized zone production state, there is a strawberry navigation system and there is no low payout navigation system, so the player can win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, in the special zone effect state, the probability that the so-called addition for extending the continuation of the AT effect state is executed is higher than that in the AT effect state. The effect state control means 314 returns to the AT effect state when the special zone effect state ends (8). Further, if the effect state control means 314 satisfies a predetermined transition condition by the end of the AT effect state, the effect state may be transferred to the pseudo-bo preparation in progress state (9). Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the AT effect state (10).

In the example of FIG. 47, first, it stays in the normal production state as the initial state. In the normal production state, there is no strawberry navigation and there is a low dividend navigation. When a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the pseudo-bo preparation in progress state (1). Further, when the effect state control means 314 satisfies a predetermined transition condition during the normal effect state, the effect state may be transferred to the special zone effect state as the effect state in the previous stage of shifting to the pseudo-bo preparation in progress effect state. There is (2). In the special zone production state, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). Further, in the special zone effect state, so-called addition is executed to extend the duration of the pseudo bonus effect state. When the special zone effect state ends, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the pseudo-bo-preparing effect state (3). In the pseudo-bo preparation stage, the strawberry navigation can be set to any (“Yes”, “No” or “Low”), and the low payout navigation can be set to any (“Yes” or “No”). The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the pseudo bonus effect state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied during the effect state during preparation for the pseudo-bo (4). As the pseudo-bonus effect state, for example, a plurality of pseudo-bonus modes having different averages of expected acquisition numbers per unit game (1.8 sheets, 5 sheets) are provided, and the effect state control means 314 has a plurality of pseudo-bonus effect states. Determine 1 pseudo-bonus mode from the bonus mode. The pseudo-bonus mode can be changed during the pseudo-bonus effect state. In the pseudo-bonus production state, there is a strawberry navigation, and depending on the AT mode, for example, if the average expected number of winnings per unit game is 1.8, the low payout navigation is set to arbitrary (“Yes” or “No”). If the average number of expected winnings per unit game is 5, the low payout navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes” or “No”), such as by eliminating the low payout navigation. In the pseudo-bonus effect state, the player can acquire many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. The effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the AT effect state if a predetermined transition condition is satisfied by the end of the pseudo bonus effect state (5). As the AT effect state, for example, a plurality of AT modes having different averages of expected acquisition numbers per unit game (1.8 sheets, 4.5 sheets) are provided, and the effect state control means 314 has a plurality of ATs. The mode is changed step by step. For example, the effect state control means 314 shifts to the AT effect state of the AT mode in which the average number of expected acquisitions per unit game is 1.8, and when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied, the expected number of sheets to be acquired per unit game. There is a case of shifting to the AT effect state of the AT mode in which the average of the images is 4.5. Further, when the predetermined end condition is satisfied during the AT effect state of the AT mode in which the average number of expected acquisitions per unit game is 4.5, the effect state control means 314 determines the expected number of sheets to be acquired per unit game. It returns to the AT production state of the AT mode in which the average is 1.8 sheets. In the AT production state, there is a strawberry navigation, and depending on the AT mode, for example, if the average number of expected winnings per unit game is 1.8, the low payout navigation is set to arbitrary (“Yes” or “No”). If the average number of expected winnings per unit game is 4.5, the low payout navigation can be set arbitrarily (“Yes” or “No”), such as by eliminating the low payout navigation. In the AT production state, the player can acquire many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Further, if the effect state control means 314 satisfies a predetermined transition condition by the time the AT effect state ends, the effect state may shift to the pseudo bonus effect state (6). Further, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the normal effect state when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the pseudo bonus effect state or the AT effect state (7).

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modifications or modifications within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Will be done.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 are arranged so as to share the functional part for advancing the game, but the functional part of the main control board 200 is assigned to the sub control board 202. Alternatively, the functional parts of the sub-control board 202 may be arranged on the main control board 200, or all the functional parts may be arranged together on one control board.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game is played using medals as the game value, but the game value may be electrical information (so-called medalless). In this case, when the winning combination wins, the value amount corresponding to the winning combination may be given to the player by electrical information.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the first state, the second state, and the third state are the normal effect state, the normal AT effect state, and the present precursor effect state has been described, but from the first state and the first state. If the second state, which is also advantageous, and the third state, which shifts before the second state when the transition to the second state is determined in the first state, are included, the first state and the second state are included. , The third state may be any state.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won in the present precursor effect state (third state), if the stop switch 120 is operated without following the auxiliary effect, the normal transition is performed thereafter. The number of navigations in the AT effect state (second state) is added by 1. However, if the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won in this precursor effect state, the number of executions of the auxiliary effect in the normal AT effect state can be changed based on whether or not the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect. Often, for example, when the winning type "batting order chance combination" is won in the present precursor effect state, when the stop switch 120 is operated according to the auxiliary effect, the predetermined number of times, which is the upper limit of the number of navigations in the normal AT effect state, is added by 1. You may do so.

Further, each process performed by the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 described above does not necessarily have to be processed in chronological order in the order described in the flowchart, and may include parallel or subroutine processing.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect switch 122 is configured to include a press switch and a jog dial switch as an effect operation unit used for operations including setting of the effect. However, the effect switch 122 is not limited to this.

For example, the effect switch 122 may be composed of a cross key and an enter button. Then, while the voice related to the payout of the medal based on the operation of the payment button (for example, the voice notifying the completion of the payout) is output, the left and right buttons of the cross key (first effect operation unit) are operated. The effect control means 334 stops the output of the sound related to the payout of the medal, and displays the volume adjustment screen for adjusting the volume on the liquid crystal display unit 124. Further, if the decision button (first effect operation unit) is operated while the sound related to the payout of the medal based on the operation of the settlement button is output, the effect control means 334 will be charged with the sound related to the payout of the medal. The output is stopped, and a menu screen for making various settings is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 124. That is, if the first effect operation unit is operated while the sound related to the payout of the medal based on the operation of the settlement button is output, the effect control means 334 stops the output of the sound related to the payout of the medal. Performs processing based on the operation of the first effect operation unit.

On the other hand, even if the up / down button (second effect operation unit) of the cross key is operated while the voice related to the payout of the medal based on the operation of the settlement button is output, the effect control means 334 still uses the cross key. Do not perform processing based on the up / down buttons. That is, the effect control means 334 stops the output of the sound related to the payout of the medal even if the second effect operation unit is operated while the sound related to the payout of the medal based on the operation of the settlement button is output. No processing is performed based on the operation of the second effect setting operation unit.
