Limit and set the credited medal to the inserted state.

  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random value can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The internal lottery means 120 is a means for performing an internal lottery for determining whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is operated by a player pressing a start lever (rotation start operation means) SL. A lottery table selection process, a random number determination process, a lottery flag setting process, and the like are performed.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which internal lottery table is used for the internal lottery table among the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 1911 of the storage unit 190. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the internal lottery table storage unit 1911 stores five types of internal lottery tables A to E as shown in FIG. In each lottery table, each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535) is associated with various combinations such as a replay, a small combination, and a big bonus (BB: bonus). It has been.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay D are prepared as replays. In the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table C, when replay A is won alone, Correspondence between the combination and the random number value is set so that there are cases where Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in duplicate. In the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery table D, replay A, replay B The relationship between the combination and the random number value is set so that there are a case where Replay C and Replay D are won in duplicate and a case where Replay A, Replay C and Replay D are won in duplicate. Yes.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as small roles, watermelon, cherry, special small role A (first role belonging to the first role group), special small role B (second role belonging to the first role group). , Special small role C (third role belonging to the second role group), special small role D (third role belonging to the second role group), special small role E (third role belonging to the second role group) ), Special small role F (third role belonging to the second role group), special small role G (third role belonging to the second role group), special small role H (third role belonging to the second role group) Role), special small role I (third role belonging to the second role group), special small role J (third role belonging to the second role group), internal lottery table A to internal lottery table A small role group 1 to a small role group 12 in D indicates that among the special small roles A to J, three special small roles determined for each group are selected and won.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, special small role A, special small role C, and special small role I are associated with the same random number as small role group 1, special small role A, special small role E and special small combination G are associated with the same random number as small combination group 2 and special small combination A, special small combination D, and special small combination J are associated with the same random number as small combination group 3. Special small role A, special small role F, and special small role H are associated with the same random number as small role group 4, and special small role B, special small role C, and special small role F are small roles. Group 5 is associated with the same random number value, special role B, special role D, and special role E are associated with the same random number as role group 6, special role B, special role G and special small role J are associated with the same random number as small role group 7, B, special small role H, and special small role I are associated with the same random number as small role group 8 and special small role B, special small role C, and special small role H are the same as small role group 9 Corresponding to a random value, special small part B, special small part E, and special small part J are associated with the same random number as small part group 10, special small part B, special small part D, and special small part The combination G is associated with the same random number as the small combination group 11, and the special combination B, special combination F, and special combination I are associated with the same random value as the small combination group 12.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and further, the replay lottery state, the replay non-lottery state, the first replay low probability state, the second state The replay low probability state, the first replay high probability state, and the second replay high probability state can be set. In the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E are selected according to the gaming state and the replay lottery state. Is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 1911 of the storage unit 190 for the acquired random number value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 1912 of the storage unit 190.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. As a combination with which the former carry-over possible flag is associated, there is a big bonus (BB), and other combinations (for example, small combination, replay) are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won by internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the won big bonus (BB) is carried over until the won big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery for determining whether or not a role (small role and replay) other than the big bonus (BB) is won even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. Is going. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over, if a role other than the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the big that has already been won A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a bonus (BB) lottery flag and a lottery flag other than the big bonus (BB) won in the internal lottery is set to a winning state.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, for each of the roles of Replay A, Replay B, Replay D, and Special Small Role A, a plurality of types of symbol combinations correspond as symbol combinations indicating winning patterns. Although attached, a common lottery flag is associated with each combination. However, one symbol combination may be associated with one symbol combination, and a separate lottery flag may be associated with each symbol combination.

  The reel control means 130 controls the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a player pressing a start lever (rotation start operation means) SL (rotation start operation). Corresponding to a reel that is rotating in a state in which the rotational speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotational speed that is about 80 revolutions per minute). Control is performed to permit the pressing operation (stop operation) of the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the step motor are set to the lottery flag setting state (result of the internal lottery). Control to stop accordingly.

  Then, the reel controller 130 allows the player to press the stop buttons B1 to B3 when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the pressing operations (stopping operations) on the stop buttons (stop operation means) B1 to B3 are permitted (validated). When 240 is activated, the supply of drive pulses (motor drive signal) to the step motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped based on the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240, whereby the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Control to stop each reel.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to the stop operation of the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to the stop operation of the second reel R2, and the stop button B3 Pressing corresponds to a stop operation of the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. Control state is set. That is, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range) from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed until each reel R1 to R3 stops. Is done. The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the pressing operation is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the winning determination line L when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the winning determination line L. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed.

  Specifically, the reel control means 130 obtains a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1913 of the storage means 190 and a process for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). A process for determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process) is performed with reference.

  First, in the logic calculation process, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position that is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later. In this way, when the stop position is determined by the logic calculation process, it is not necessary to determine the stop position by the table reference process. Therefore, when designing the stop control table, detailed verification is performed on all data. The game machine development environment can be improved as much as it is not necessary to perform work.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “Replay (Replay A to Replay D)> Minor (Watermelon, Cherry, Special Minor A to Special Minor J)> Big Bonus (BB)”. In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the internal winning state, the winning form of the winning combination having the lower priority order is selected according to the priority order associated with each winning combination. The priority is determined so that the priority of the stop position candidate including the symbol constituting the winning form of the winning combination having a higher priority than the candidate of the stop position including the symbol to be configured has a higher priority.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay D are won in the internal lottery, the respective stop positions of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are obtained. In the logic calculation process, the priority is calculated so that there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position with the highest priority, and if replay A, replay C, and replay D are won in duplicate in the internal lottery, the first In the logic calculation process for obtaining the respective stop positions of the reel R1 and the second reel R2, priorities are obtained so that there are a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority, and replay B, replay C, and When the replay D is won in duplicate, in the logic operation for obtaining the stop positions of the second reel R2 and the third reel R3, Priority is also required to be higher in the stop position priority is plural.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order among the small roles when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined dividend for each small role. Priorities are set, and the priorities among the small roles are set so that the higher the number of medals paid out, the higher the priority.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the step motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index). ing.

It is determined that the combination J has won.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning process, for example, when a small combination (watermelon, cherry, special small combination A to special small combination J) wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, and replay (replay A to replay A). When the replay D) is won, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay process, and when the big bonus (BB) is won, the gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to shift the gaming state. Is called.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are assigned to the hopper unit 320 ( The payout device is controlled to pay out.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals. As a result of the game, when Replay A to Replay D or Big Bonus (BB) is won, a payout is set for Replay A to Replay D and Big Bonus (BB) as shown in FIG. Since no medals are paid out from the hopper unit 320, a process (0-sheet process) is performed in which formally 0 medals are paid out.

  When the replay (replay A to replay D) wins, the replay processing means 160 does not require insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game and sets the same preparation state as the previous game ( Replay processing). That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when replay (Replay A to Replay D) wins, the same number of medals as the previous game are not used without the player's medals (including credit medals). An automatic insertion process for automatic insertion is performed, and the next game start operation (operation of pressing the start lever SL by the player) is waited with the same winning determination line as that of the previous game being validated.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the bonus establishment state is possible. Further, in the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A or the internal lottery table B in which the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery object among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E shown in FIG. Is called.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, an internal lottery table that is referred to in the internal lottery in the normal state is selected according to the lottery state of replay. Specifically, when the replay lottery state in the normal state is the first replay high probability state or the second replay high probability state, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A, and the replay is performed in the normal state. When the lottery state is the first replay low-probability state or the second replay low-probability state, the internal lottery table has a lower probability of winning at least one type of replay among the replays A to D than the internal lottery table A. An internal lottery is performed with reference to B.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E shown in FIG. 3, the internal lottery table in which the winning probability of the small role is set to be the same as the normal state and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target. Internal lottery with reference to C or internal lottery table D is performed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, an internal lottery table that is referred to in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state is selected according to the replay lottery state. Specifically, when the replay lottery state is the first replay high probability state or the second replay high probability state in the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C, and the bonus establishment state When the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state or the second replay low probability state, the probability that at least one type of replay among the replay A to replay D is won is lower than the internal lottery table C. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table D.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) wins, and the symbol combination “red 7 / red 7” indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is maintained. When “Red 7” is displayed on the winning determination line L, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to shift the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the winning determination line L in the bonus establishment state. . In the bonus state, the replay lottery state is set to the replay no lottery state, and among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E shown in FIG. 3, the big bonus (BB) and the replay (replay A to replay D) are the internal lottery. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table E, in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, is performed. That is, in the bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state or the bonus establishment state in that the small role is won more frequently than the other game states.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus game, and a predetermined payout upper limit number (for example, 200) is determined according to the type of bonus won. When medals exceeding are paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The replay probability changing means 175 performs control to change the winning probability of the replay (replay A to replay D) in the internal lottery under a predetermined condition. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as the replay lottery state, at least one type of replay is selected among the replay no lottery state in which all of replay A to replay D are excluded from the internal lottery targets, and replay A to replay D. The probability that the first replay low probability state and the second replay low probability state in which the probability is set to about 1 / 7.3 and at least one type of replay among Replay A to Replay D is won is about 1 / 2.5. It is possible to set a plurality of types of lottery states, ie, a first replay high probability state and a second replay high probability state, and the replay probability variation means 175 indicates the replay lottery state as shown in FIG. By changing, the winning probability of the replay (Replay A to Replay D) in the internal lottery is changed.

  More specifically, the replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state as the first replay high probability state as the initial state, and when the replay lottery state is the first replay high probability state, the winning determination line Based on the display of the special symbol combination on L, the replay lottery state is set to the first replay low probability state. In addition, the replay probability changing means 175 determines the replay lottery state based on the special symbol combination displayed on the winning determination line L even when the replay lottery state is set to the second replay high probability state. Is set to the first replay low probability state.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state and the symbol combination indicating the replay C winning form is displayed on the winning determination line L when the replay lottery status is the first replay lottery state, When the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay D is displayed when the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state and the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state, the replay lottery state is set to the second replay low probability state. Set to. That is, in this embodiment, when the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state and the replay C or the replay D wins, the replay lottery state changes.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 175, when the replay lottery state is set to the second replay low probability state, causes the RT end determination counter 1915 of the storage means 190 to play a predetermined number of games (for example, 350 times). Each time a game in the second replay low probability state is performed, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one time is stored from the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915. Decrement update to be subtracted. When the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold (for example, 0), the replay lottery state is returned to the first replay high probability state. In this way, when the replay D wins in the game in the first replay low probability state and changes to the second replay low probability state, the lottery state of the replay is not changed until a certain number of games are performed. By playing the game in a dishonest way to change the replay lottery state to the second replay high probability state by always pressing the stop buttons B2 and B3 first in the game in the first replay low probability state. Can be prevented.

  The replay probability changing means 175 is a game in the first replay high probability state, the second replay high probability state, the first replay low probability state, and the second replay low probability state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won, The lottery state is set to the non-replay lottery state, and the replay lottery state is set to the second replay high probability state when the bonus state ends. When the replay lottery state is the second replay low probability state and the big bonus (BB) is won, the replay probability varying means 175 is associated with the replay lottery state being set to the non-replay lottery state. Thus, the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 is reset to an initial value (for example, 0).

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the replay lottery state is set to the second replay high probability state when the bonus state ends, but the replay lottery state after the bonus state ends is shown in FIG. It is not limited to an aspect and can be set arbitrarily. For example, the replay lottery state may be shifted to the first replay low probability state when the bonus state ends.

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 1921. Control related to the sound production to be performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in gaming state, By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 changes the effect state among a plurality of kinds of effect states, and the AT flag is stored in the effect flag storage means 1922 under predetermined conditions at the end of the bonus state. By setting, the effect state is set to the assist time state (AT state: special effect state), the AT condition end condition is determined based on the value of the AT end determination counter 1923, and the AT state end condition is satisfied. Accordingly, the AT state is controlled by clearing the AT flag.

  More specifically, the effect control means 180 performs AT lottery (predetermined effect lottery) when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 1924, and according to the comparison result. Then, a process of writing a value to the AT end determination counter 1923 is performed. The AT lottery may be performed between the time of winning the big bonus (BB) and the end of the bonus state. In particular, if the AT lottery is performed at the end of the bonus state, a process for confirming whether or not the AT lottery is won (a process for setting an AT reservation flag, which will be described later, and a process for checking whether or not an AT reservation flag is set) ) Can be omitted.

  In the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage means 1924, as shown in FIG. 8, any one of AT50, AT100, AT200, or lose is assigned to each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767. If the random number value that is associated and acquired in the AT lottery is associated with any one of AT50, AT100, and AT200, it means that the AT lottery has been won. Then, the effect control means 180 sets an AT reservation flag corresponding to the winning result in the effect flag storage means 1922 when one of AT50, AT100, and AT200 is won in the AT lottery. For example, if AT50 is won in AT lottery, the first AT reservation flag is set, if AT100 is won, the second AT reservation flag is set, and if AT200 is won, the third AT reservation flag is set. Can be set.

  The effect control means 180 determines whether or not the AT reservation flag is set in the effect flag storage means 1922 at the end of the bonus state. If the AT reservation flag is set, the AT reservation flag is set. In addition to clearing, the AT flag is set in the effect flag storage means 1922 to set the effect state to the AT state. The effect control means 180 performs a process of writing a value corresponding to the type of the AT reservation flag set in the effect flag storage means 1922 to the AT end determination counter 1923 when setting the AT flag. For example, when the first AT reservation flag is set, a value (for example, 50) corresponding to the number of games for 50 is written in the AT end determination counter 1923, and when the second AT reservation flag is set. When the third AT reservation flag is set in the AT end determination counter 1923, a value corresponding to the number of games 100 times (for example, 100) is written, and the AT end determination counter 1923 corresponds to the number of games for 200 times. A process of writing a value (for example, 200) to be performed is performed. In the AT state, when the start lever SL is pressed for each game, the decrement is updated by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game from the value of the AT end determination counter 1923, and the AT end determination counter 1923 is updated. Based on the fact that the value of has reached the initial value, it is determined that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the AT state is ended by clearing the AT flag.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the end condition for the AT state is satisfied even when the big bonus (BB) is won in the game in the AT state. In this case, the effect control means 180 sets the AT flag. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 1923 is reset to the initial value. When a big bonus (BB) is won in a game in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1923 is not reset to the initial value but carried over, and the remaining number of games in the next AT state is increased. You may make it digest.

  Further, the effect control means 180 is a special effect that assists the winning of the winning combination in a game in which a predetermined role is selected among a plurality of types when the effect state is set to the AT state (first special effect, Control for causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the second special effect) is performed.

  Specifically, the effect control means 180 is a small role group 1 to small in an internal lottery in a specific game in which the replay lottery state is set to the first replay high probability state and the effect state is set to the AT state. When any of the role groups 12 wins, the first notification of the order of pressing the stop button that can win the special role A or special role B among the three types of special roles belonging to the selected role group. One special effect is performed by the display device 330 and the sound device 340. As the first special effect, various effects can be adopted. For example, an effect image for informing the type of the stop button to be pressed first for winning the special small role A or the special small role B is displayed on the liquid crystal display. Display on the LCD, turn on the lamp that informs the type of stop button to be pressed first to win the special small role A or special small role B, or win the special small role A or special small role B Therefore, it is possible to output from the speaker a sound for informing the type of the stop button to be pressed first.

  The effect control means 180 also changes the replay lottery state from the first replay high probability state to the first replay low probability state when the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L in the specific game. Later, when Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in an internal lottery in a game in which the replay lottery state is set to the first low probability state, and Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are In the case of winning, control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a second special effect that notifies the pressing order of the stop button that can win the replay C under a predetermined condition. As the second special effect, various effects can be adopted. For example, an effect image for informing the type of the stop button to be pressed first in order to win the replay C is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the replay is performed. A lamp that informs the type of stop button that should be pressed first to win C is turned on, or a voice that informs the type of stop button that should be pressed first to win Replay C is output from the speaker. can do.

  In addition, when the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L in the specific game, the production control unit 180 changes the replay lottery state from the first replay high probability state to the first replay low probability state. Then, a special flag is set in the production flag storage means 1922. When the special flag is set together with the AT flag in the production flag storage unit 1922, the production control unit 180 performs a case where Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in the internal lottery, and Replay A, When the replay C and the replay D are won, control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the second special effect. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the replay lottery state changed from the first replay high probability state to the first replay low probability state in accordance with the special symbol combination displayed on the winning determination line L in the specific game. Even in this case, the effect control means 180 maintains the effect state in the AT state without clearing the AT flag until the predetermined end condition for the AT state is satisfied, and the replay lottery state is the first. When Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in the internal lottery in the game set in the replay low probability state, and when Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are won, the production state is Control that causes the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the second special effect is performed on the condition that the AT state is set.

  The production control means 180 also determines that the production state is AT when any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 12 is won in the internal lottery in the game where the winning probability of the replay is set to the first replay low probability state. Control that causes the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the first special effect is performed on the condition that the state is set.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Control Methods of the Present Embodiment Hereinafter, various control methods employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 16.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a control process for each game in the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  First, insertion acceptance processing for accepting insertion of medals necessary for playing a game is performed (step S100). In the insertion accepting process, the player sets a medal inserted by inserting a medal into the medal insertion slot MI, and the player presses the bet button B0 to activate the bet switch 220 to play a game in advance. Set the medal credited in the aircraft to the inserted state. Further, when a replay is won in the previous game, the medals having the same number of insertions as the previous game are automatically set to the inserted state on the gaming machine side without requiring the medal held by the player. When the insertion of a predetermined number (for example, three) of medals set as the game start condition is completed (Y in Step S101), the operation of waiting for the start lever SL is waited (Step S102).

  When the player depresses the start lever SL and the start switch 230 is actuated (Y in step S102), an internal lottery is performed (step S103), and the step motor that drives the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. The supply of drive pulses is started, and the rotation of each reel is started (step S104). In the internal lottery, the winning combination is determined by comparing the random value acquired with the operation of the start switch 230 with the lottery table selected according to the gaming state, and the winning combination (winning combination) flag is set. Set to internal winning status.

  In the present embodiment, when the replay lottery state is the first replay high probability state or the second replay high probability state, when replay A wins alone, replay B, replay C, and replay D overlap. And when the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state or the second replay low probability state, the replay A, the replay B, the replay C, and the replay D are performed. The internal lottery is performed so that there is a case where the winner is duplicated and a case where the replay A, the replay C, and the replay D are winners are duplicated.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the small role group 1 to the small role group 12 are set as the lottery objects of the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, and the random number values acquired in the internal lottery are stored in the small lottery table in the internal lottery table. In the case of being associated with a group, among the special small roles A to J, three types of special small roles corresponding to the small role group are selected and won.

  When the rotation speed of each reel reaches a predetermined speed (Y in step S105), the operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated (step S106), and the rotating reel is stopped in response to the pressing operation of the stop button. The reel stop control to be performed is performed (step S107). In particular, in the present embodiment, reel stop control is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when the player presses the stop button (Y in step S200), the operation for the pressed stop button is invalidated (step S201), and the stop position of the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is determined. The process which performs is performed (step S202-step S205).

  Specifically, priority is given to each of the stop position candidates for a total of 5 frames in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressed detection position indicating the position of the rotating reel when the stop button is pressed by logic calculation. Ask for. In such a logic operation, a candidate for a stop position where a symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L is a stop position where a symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L. The priority for each of the stop position candidates is obtained so that the priority is higher than that of the candidates. Also, in the logic calculation, when a plurality of types of winning combinations are won in the internal lottery, according to the priority order determined for each winning combination, a symbol corresponding to the winning combination with a high priority is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L Each stop position candidate is higher in priority than a stop position candidate in which a symbol corresponding to a winning combination with a lower priority is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L. Find the priority for.

  If the result of the logic operation is one stop position candidate with the highest priority (Y in step S203), the stop position candidate with the highest priority obtained by the logic operation is rotated. The stop position of the inner reel is determined (step S204).

  On the other hand, if a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are found as a result of the logic operation (N in step S203), the stop position is determined with reference to the stop control table (step S205).

  Then, when the stop position is determined by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table, the supply of the drive pulse to the stepping motor that rotationally drives the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped. To stop the reel (step 206).

  When all reels stop (Y in step S207), a winning determination process is performed based on the stopped state of each reel (step S108). In the present embodiment, the presence / absence of a winning combination is determined based on whether or not a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern of a winning combination is displayed on the winning determination line L. If the winning combination is determined as a result of the winning determination (Y in step S108), the winning process corresponding to the winning combination is performed, and the series of processes is terminated (step S109).

  Here, in the present embodiment, there are a case where a plurality of types of replays are won in an internal lottery and a case where a plurality of types of small roles are won in duplicate. Hereinafter, a specific method for stopping the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in these cases will be described.

  First, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of replays are won in duplicate, the symbols constituting the winning form of the replay won in the internal lottery are displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L. If so, the logic operation is performed so that the same priority is obtained regardless of the type of symbol.

  For example, when Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in the internal lottery, the first combination in the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D is the first. The display symbols of the reel R1 to the third reel R3 include one of the replay symbol A “RPA”, the replay symbol B “RPB”, and the bell symbol “BL”, as shown in FIG. On the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the replay symbol A “RPA” or the replay symbol B “RPB” is always lower than the bell symbol “BL” arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less. The bell pattern is always displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L even when each stop button is pressed at any timing. And stop position for displaying the BL ", so that the and the stop position there to display the replay symbol A" RPA "or replay symbol B" RPB ". For this reason, when replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay D are won in the internal lottery, the stop position candidate for displaying the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L The same priority is obtained for the stop position candidate for displaying the replay symbol A “RPA” or the replay symbol B “RPB”, so that the highest priority is given regardless of when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. A logic operation is performed so that there are a plurality of candidates for high-frequency stop positions. As described above, in the present embodiment, in a state where Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are selected in an overlapping manner, the stop position candidate is set to 1 in the logic calculation regarding the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. It cannot be narrowed down to one.

  And in this Embodiment, when Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D overlap and win, according to the pressing order of stop button B1-B3, the kind of replay to win changes. When the stop control table is set and the stop button B1 is first pressed, the replay A wins regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3, and when the stop button B2 is pressed first, the stop buttons B1 to B1 are set. Regardless of the timing of pressing B3, the replay C wins, and when the stop button B3 is pressed first, the stop position is determined so that the replay D wins regardless of the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  Also, for example, when Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are won in the internal lottery, the display design of the third reel R3 in the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D Is common to the replay symbol A “RPA”, but the display symbol of the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 includes any of the replay symbol A “RPA”, the replay symbol B “RPB”, or the bell symbol “BL”. Is included. For this reason, even when Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are won in the internal lottery, the stop position candidate for displaying the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the replay symbol By obtaining the same priority for the stop position candidate for displaying A “RPA” or the replay symbol B “RPB”, the highest priority is obtained regardless of which stop button B1 or B2 is pressed. A logic operation is performed so that there are a plurality of stop position candidates. As described above, in the present embodiment, in a state where the replay A, the replay C, and the replay D are selected in an overlapping manner, the logic of the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 is limited to one stop position candidate. I can't do that.

  In this embodiment, even when Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are won in duplicate, the stop control table so that the type of replay to win varies according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Is set, and when the stop button B1 is first pressed, the replay A wins regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3, and when the stop button B2 is pressed first, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. Regardless of the timing, the replay D wins, and when the stop button B3 is first pressed, the stop position is determined so that the replay C wins regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  Also, for example, when Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in the internal lottery, the display design of the first reel R1 in the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D Is common to the bell symbol “BL”, but the display symbol of the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 is either the replay symbol A “RPA”, the replay symbol B “RPB”, or the bell symbol “BL”. Is included. For this reason, even when Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in duplicate in the internal lottery, the stop position candidate for displaying the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the replay symbol By obtaining the same priority for the stop position candidate for displaying A “RPA” or replay symbol B “RPB”, the highest priority is obtained regardless of which stop button B2 or B3 is pressed. A logic operation is performed so that there are a plurality of stop position candidates. As described above, in the present embodiment, in a state where the replay B, the replay C, and the replay D are selected in an overlapping manner, the stop position candidates are narrowed down to one in the logic calculation regarding the second reel R2 and the third reel R3. I can't do that.

  In this embodiment, when the replay B, the replay C, and the replay D are won in duplicate, the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed by referring to the stop control table. The stop position is determined so that Replay B wins regardless of the timing.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, when the random number value acquired by internal lottery is matched with the small role group 1-small role group 12, according to the small role group among special small roles A-special small roles J Three types of special small roles are selected and won. As shown in FIG. 6, since the payout is 10 for each of the special small combinations A to J, the following logic operation is performed.

  For example, in the case of the internal lottery, when the special small role A, special small role C, and special small role I belonging to the small role group 1 are won in duplicate, when the stop button B1 is first pressed, the replay symbol A “RPA” Or a replay symbol “RPB” that can be displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L is determined as a stop position candidate with the highest priority. Here, according to the symbol arrangement on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, the stop position candidate for displaying the replay symbol A “RPA” at the display position on the winning determination line L and the replay symbol B “RPB” are determined as the winning determination line L. Since there is no pressing detection position where there are both stop position candidates to be displayed at the upper display position, when the stop button B1 is pressed first, there is always one stop position candidate by logic calculation. It is obtained as a candidate for the highest priority stop position.

  In the state where the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are rotating, the special small combination A, special small combination In the symbol combination indicating the winning form of C and special small role I, the display symbol of the first reel R1 is common to the replay symbol A “RPA”, so that any special small role has a possibility of winning. Yes.

  When the stop button B2 is pressed subsequent to the stop button B1, in the symbol combination indicating the winning combinations of the special small role A, the special small role C, and the special small role I, the display symbol of the second reel R2 includes: The bell symbol “BL”, the dummy symbol “DUM”, or the black 7 symbol “black 7” is included, and the bell symbol arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2. The dummy symbol “DUM” or the black 7 symbol “black 7” is always arranged adjacent to “BL”. Therefore, when the stop button B2 is pressed after the stop button B1, the stop position candidate for displaying the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B2. There are always stop position candidates for displaying either the dummy symbol “DUM” or the black 7 symbol “black 7” on the winning determination line L, and there are a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority. Thus, the logic operation is performed, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is determined by referring to the stop control table.

  In the present embodiment, the stop button B1 is the first in the stop control table that is referred to when the special small combination A, special small combination C, and special small combination I belonging to the small combination group 1 are won. The stop button B2 is pressed after the stop button B1 because the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the special small role A wins regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 when pressed. Then, the stop position is determined so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B2.

  The replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the first reel R1, the display position bell symbol “BL” on the winning determination line L is displayed for the second reel R2, and the first In the state where the three reels R3 are rotating, only the special small combination A among the special small combination A, special small combination C, and special small combination I is in a state that can win a prize. Therefore, when the stop button B3 is pressed, the stop position is determined so that the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table, and the winning determination is made. When the symbol combination “RPA / BL / RPA” is displayed on the line L, the special small role A is won.

  Further, when the stop button B3 is pressed after the stop button B1, in the symbol combination indicating the winning combinations of the special small role A, the special small role C, and the special small role I, the display symbol of the third reel R3 includes: The replay symbol A “RPA”, the dummy symbol “DUM”, or the black 7 symbol “black 7” is included, and the replay symbol arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3. For A “RPA”, either a dummy symbol “DUM” or a black 7 symbol “black 7” is always arranged with an interval of one frame. Therefore, when the stop button B3 is pressed after the stop button B1, the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3. There are always candidates for a stop position for displaying either the dummy symbol “DUM” or the black symbol “Black 7” on the winning determination line L, and there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position with the highest priority. A logic operation is performed as follows.

  In the present embodiment, the stop button B1 is the first in the stop control table that is referred to when the special small combination A, special small combination C, and special small combination I belonging to the small combination group 1 are won. The stop button B3 is pressed after the stop button B1 because the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the special small role A wins regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 when pressed. The stop position is determined so that the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3.

  When the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 and the second reel R2 is rotating, the special small combination A, special small Of the combination C and special combination I, only the special combination A is in a state where a prize can be won. Therefore, when the stop button B2 is pressed, the stop position is determined so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table, and the winning determination line is determined. The symbol combination “RPA / BL / RPA” is displayed on L and the special small role A wins.

  Further, when the replay symbol B “RPB” is displayed on the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are rotating, the first reel R1 in the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the special small role A is displayed. Is the replay symbol B “RPB”, but the display symbol of the first reel R1 in the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of the special small role C and special small role I is the replay symbol A “RPA”. In addition, only the special small role A can win a prize. Therefore, when the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed, the stop position candidate for displaying the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L for the second reel R2 is the stop position with the highest priority. The stop control table is also referred to when there are a plurality of stop position candidates that are obtained as candidates and display the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L as the stop position candidates of the second reel R2. Thus, one stop position candidate is selected, and for the third reel R3, the stop position candidate for displaying the replay symbol “RPA” at the display position on the winning determination line L is the stop position with the highest priority. A stop position candidate that is obtained as a candidate and displays the replay symbol A “RPA” at the display position on the winning determination line L as a stop position candidate of the third reel R3. Even if there are a plurality of symbols, the symbol combination “RPA / BL / RPA” is displayed on the winning determination line L by selecting any one stop position candidate by referring to the stop control table. Special small role A wins a prize.

  Also, in the case of the internal lottery, if the special small role A, special small role C, and special small role I belonging to the small role group 1 are won in duplicate, when the stop button B2 is first pressed, According to the symbol combination indicating the winning combination of the small combination C and the special small combination I and the symbol arrangement of the second reel R2, the bell symbol “BL” is placed on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B2. Since there is always a stop position candidate to be displayed at the display position and a stop position candidate to display either the dummy symbol “DUM” or the black 7 symbol “black 7” on the winning determination line L, the highest priority is given. Logic calculation is performed so that there are a plurality of candidates for high stop positions, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is determined by referring to the stop control table.

The stop position is determined so that the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the replay is performed within four frames from the pressing detection position. When the pattern B "RPB" is located will determine the stop position so as to display the replay symbol B "RPB" on the display position on the winning determination line L.

  When the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the first reel R1, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are rotating, the winning form of the special small role C is changed. The display symbol of the first reel R1 in the symbol combination shown is the replay symbol A “RPA”, but the display symbol of the first reel R1 in the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the special small role B and special special role H is the replay symbol A Since the symbol is different from “RPA”, only the special small role C can win a prize.

  When the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed subsequent to the stop button B1, logic calculation or stop control is performed for the second reel R2 when the dummy symbol “DUM” is arranged within four frames from the pressing detection position. By referring to the table, the stop position is determined so that the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the dummy symbol “DUM” is also within four frames from the pressing detection position for the third reel R3. Is arranged, the stop position is determined so that the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table. In other words, when the timing of pressing the stop buttons B2 and B3 is the timing at which the symbols constituting the winning form of the special small role C can be drawn on the winning determination line L, the “RPA · DUM” is displayed on the winning determination line L.・ The symbol combination “DUM” is displayed and special small role C wins. However, the dummy symbol “DUM” cannot be displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L in the second reel R2, or the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L in the third reel R3. If it cannot be displayed, the stop position is determined such that any of the 20 types of special symbol combinations described above is displayed on the winning determination line L.

  In the state where the replay symbol B “RPB” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the first reel R1, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are rotating, the winning form of the special small role H The display symbol of the first reel R1 in the symbol combination indicating the replay symbol B is “RPB”, but the display symbol of the first reel R1 in the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the special small role B and the special small role C is the replay symbol. Since the symbol B is different from “RPB”, only the special small role H can win a prize.

  Then, when the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed subsequent to the stop button B1, when the black 7 symbol “black 7” is arranged within 4 frames from the pressing detection position for the second reel R2, logic calculation or By referring to the stop control table, the stop position is determined so that the black 7 symbol “black 7” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the third reel R3 is within 4 frames from the pressing detection position. When the dummy symbol “DUM” is arranged, the stop position is determined so that the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table. . That is, when the timing of pressing the stop buttons B2 and B3 is the timing at which the symbols constituting the special small role H winning pattern can be drawn on the winning determination line L, the “RPB / black” is displayed on the winning determination line L. The symbol combination “7.DUM” is displayed and the special small role H wins. However, when the black 7 symbol “black 7” cannot be displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L on the second reel R2, or the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed on the winning determination line L on the third reel R3. When the position cannot be displayed, the stop position is determined such that any of the 20 types of special symbol combinations described above is displayed on the winning determination line L.

  In addition, when the special small role B, special small role C, and special small role H belonging to the small role group 9 are won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B2 is pressed first, the special small role B, special special role B According to the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern of the small role C and the special small role H and the symbol arrangement of the second reel R2, the bell symbol “BL” is placed on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B2. Since there is always a stop position candidate to be displayed at the display position and a stop position candidate to display either the dummy symbol “DUM” or the black 7 symbol “black 7” on the winning determination line L, the highest priority is given. Logic calculation is performed so that there are a plurality of candidates for high stop positions, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is determined by referring to the stop control table.

  In the present embodiment, the stop button B2 is the first in the stop control table that is referred to when the special small combination B, special small combination C, and special small combination H belonging to the small combination group 9 are won in duplicate. When pressed, the special small combination C or special small combination H can be awarded according to the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 while avoiding the special small combination B winning regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Since the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so as to be able to be performed, when the stop button B2 is first pressed, the dummy symbol “DUM” is arranged within the range of 4 frames from the press detection position. Determines the stop position so that the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the black symbol “Black 7” within four frames from the pressed detection position. When it is placed it will determine the stop position so as to display black 7 symbol "" black 7 "on the display position on the winning determination line L.

  A dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the second reel R2, and the winning state of the special small role C is shown when the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 are rotating. The display symbol of the second reel R2 in the symbol combination is the dummy symbol "DUM", but the symbol of the second reel R2 in the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of the special small role B and the special small role H is the dummy symbol "DUM". Since it is a different pattern, only the special small role C can win a prize.

  When the stop buttons B1 and B3 are pressed subsequent to the stop button B2, the logic calculation or the stop is performed when the replay symbol A “RPA” is arranged within four frames from the pressing detection position for the first reel R1. By referring to the control table, the stop position is determined so that the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L. For the third reel R3, the dummy symbol “ When “DUM” is arranged, the stop position is determined so that the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table. In other words, when the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 and B3 is the timing at which the symbols constituting the winning form of the special small role C can be drawn on the winning determination line L, “RPA · DUM”・ The symbol combination “DUM” is displayed and special small role C wins a prize. However, when the replay symbol A “RPA” cannot be displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L on the first reel R1, or the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed on the winning determination line L at the third reel R3. If it cannot be displayed, the stop position is determined so that any of the 20 types of special symbol combinations described above is displayed on the winning determination line L.

  In the state where the black 7 symbol “black 7” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the second reel R2, and the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 are rotating, the winning form of the special small role H The display symbol of the second reel R2 in the symbol combination indicating “7” is the black 7 symbol “black 7”, but the display symbol of the second reel R2 in the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of the special small role B and the special small role C is black. Since the 7 symbol “black 7” is a different symbol, only the special small role H can be awarded.

  When the stop buttons B1 and B3 are pressed subsequent to the stop button B2, when the replay symbol B “RPB” is arranged within 4 frames from the pressing detection position for the first reel R1, logic calculation or stop is performed. By referring to the control table, the stop position is determined so that the replay symbol B “RPB” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L. For the third reel R3, the dummy symbol “ When “DUM” is arranged, the stop position is determined so that the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table. That is, if the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 and B3 is the timing at which the symbols constituting the special small role H winning pattern can be drawn on the winning determination line L, the “RPB • black” is displayed on the winning determination line L. The symbol combination “7.DUM” is displayed and the special small role H wins. However, when the replay symbol B “RPB” cannot be displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L on the first reel R1, or the dummy symbol “DUM” is displayed on the winning determination line L at the third reel R3. If it cannot be displayed, the stop position is determined so that any of the 20 types of special symbol combinations described above is displayed on the winning determination line L.

  In addition, when the special small role B, special small role C, and special small role H belonging to the small role group 9 are won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B3 is first pressed, According to the symbol combination indicating the winning mode of the small role C and the special small role H and the symbol arrangement of the third reel R3, the bell symbols constituting the winning mode of the special small role B regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3. Although there is always a stop position candidate for displaying “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L, the dummy symbol “DUM” constituting the winning pattern of the special small role C and special special role H is displayed in the winning determination line L. Since the stop position candidate to be displayed at the upper display position exists only when the dummy symbol “DUM” is arranged within four frames from the pressing detection position, the dummy symbol “DU” is displayed within four frames from the pressing detection position. ”Is not arranged, one stop position candidate for displaying the bell symbol“ BL ”at the display position on the winning determination line L is obtained as a stop position candidate with the highest priority by logic calculation. When the dummy symbol “DUM” is arranged within four frames from the pressing detection position, the stop position candidate and the dummy symbol “DUM” for displaying the bell symbol “BL” at the display position on the winning determination line L are displayed. The logic operation is performed so that there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority by coexisting with the stop position candidates to be displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L, and the stop position of the third reel R3 is It is determined by referring to the stop control table.

  In the present embodiment, the stop button B3 is the first in the stop control table that is referred to when the special small role B, special small role C, and special small role H belonging to the small role group 9 are won in duplicate. When the stop button B2 is pressed, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the special small role B wins regardless of the press timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The stop position is determined so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L regardless of the timing of pressing B2.

  In the state where the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L for the third reel R3, and the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 are rotating, the winning form of the special small role B is shown. The display symbol of the second reel R2 in the symbol combination is the bell symbol “BL”, but the display symbol of the second reel R2 in the symbol combination indicating the winning style of the special small role C and the special small role H is the bell symbol “BL”. Since it is a different pattern, only the special small role B can win a prize.

  When the stop buttons B1 and B3 are pressed after the stop button B2, bell symbols “BL” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 and the third reel R3. By referring to the logic calculation or stop control table, the stop position is determined so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line L regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 and B3. The symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” is displayed on L and the special small role B wins.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special small combination B, special small combination C, and special small combination H belonging to the small combination group 9 are won in duplicate, the special small combination is selected when the stop button B3 is first pressed. The winning combination B is awarded regardless of the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3, and when the stop button B1 is pressed first, the pressing timing of the stop buttons B2 and B3 is appropriate depending on the special small combination C or the special small combination H. If the timing is determined to be a special small role C or special small role H, and the stop button B2 is pressed first, the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 and B3 depends on the special small role C or special small role H The special small role C or the special small role H is won on the condition that the timing is appropriate, and any special small role belonging to the small role group 9 cannot be won. If the stop button B1~B3 is pressed in the manner is as a special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L. In the present embodiment, when the special small role B, special special role E, and special small role J belonging to the small role group 10 are selected in duplicate, the special small role B, special small role belonging to the small role group 11 are selected. In the case where D and special small role G are elected redundantly, and also in the case where special small role B, special small role F and special small role I belonging to the small role group 12 are elected redundantly, the small role group 9 Control is performed to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the same manner as when the special small combination B, special small combination C, and special small combination H belonging to the same are won.

  Here, in the present embodiment, among the three kinds of special small roles belonging to the small role group 9 to the small role group 12, the special small role B is always included, Of the three types of special small roles that belong to the two types of special small roles other than the special small role B, the special small role whose display symbol of the first reel R1 is the replay symbol A “RPA”, and the special reel of the first reel R1 Since the display symbol is a special small role with the replay symbol B “RPB”, the stop button B1 is the first when the three special special characters belonging to the small role group 5 to the small role group 8 are won in duplicate. When the button is pressed, in order to avoid winning the special small role B and to win another special small role, be sure to display the bell symbol “BL” in the upper row and the replay symbol in the middle row as shown in FIG. A “RPA” and watermelon symbol “WM” on the bottom 11B, or a stop mode in which a bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper row, a replay symbol B “RPB” is displayed in the middle row, and a watermelon symbol “WM” is displayed in the lower row. Thus, control for stopping the first reel R1 is performed.

  In the control method of the present embodiment described above, when the stop button B1 is first pressed in a game in which three types of special small roles belonging to the small role group 1 to the small role group 12 are duplicated, The stop mode of the reel R1 is the stop mode in which the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper row, the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed in the middle row, and the watermelon symbol “WM” is displayed in the lower row, or the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper row, and the replay is in the middle row. By either of the stop modes in which the symbol B “RPB” and the watermelon symbol “WM” are displayed in the lower row, the type of winning combination and the suitability of winning of the winning combination are determined by the player when the first reel R1 stops. Can be prevented from being easily grasped.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in a game in which three types of special small roles belonging to the small role group 1 to the small role group 12 are won in a duplicate, no matter which special small role wins, the special small role B wins. The symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” (specific symbol combination) indicating the form is displayed in a straight line.

  More specifically, when the special small combination A wins, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the upper stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the third stage The symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” indicating the winning style of the special small role B is displayed on the straight down-line ineffective line formed at the bottom of the reel.

  Also, when the special small role B wins, as shown in FIG. 13, a horizontal straight winning determination line comprising a middle stage of the first reel R1, a middle stage of the second reel R2, and a middle stage of the third reel R3. On L, the symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” indicating the winning style of the special small role B is displayed.

  Further, when special small combination C to special small combination J wins, as shown in FIGS. 14A to 14H, the upper stage of the first reel R1, the upper stage of the second reel R2, and the second The symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” indicating the winning style of the special small role B is displayed on a horizontal straight invalid line formed at the top of the three reels R3.

  In this way, since the symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” is displayed in a straight line, it is possible to give the player the impression that the winning combination has been won. It becomes possible to easily notify that any of the special small roles J has won.

  Next, a control method related to effects will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 15 and 16.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15, when a big bonus (BB) is won by internal lottery (Y in step S300), AT lottery is performed (step S301). In the AT lottery, a lottery result of AT50, AT100, AT200, or lose is obtained according to the obtained random number value.

  In the present embodiment, when the obtained random number value in the AT lottery is associated with AT50, AT100, and AT200, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. When the AT lottery is won, (Y in step S302), an AT reservation flag corresponding to the winning result is set (step S303). For example, when winning at AT50, the first AT reservation flag is set. When winning at AT100, the second AT reservation flag is set. When winning at AT200, the third AT reservation flag is set. .

  When the big bonus (BB) won in the internal lottery wins (Y in step S303), the AT flag and the AT end determination counter 1923 are initialized (step S305). That is, when the effect state in the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won is the AT state, the AT flag is cleared with the big bonus (BB) winning, the AT state is ended, and the AT end determination counter 1923 The value is also reset to the initial value.

  When the bonus state transferred with the big bonus (BB) is completed (Y in step S306), it is checked whether or not the AT reservation flag is set (step S307). If the AT reservation flag is set at this time (Y in step S307), the AT flag is set to set the effect state to the AT state (step S308), and the value corresponding to the type of the AT reservation flag is set to the AT end. A process of writing to the determination counter 1923 is performed (step S309). For example, when the first AT reservation flag is set, a value corresponding to 50 games is written to the AT end determination counter 1923, and when the second AT reservation flag is set, 100 games are played. A corresponding value is written to the AT end determination counter 1923, and if the third AT reservation flag is set, a value corresponding to 200 games is written to the AT end determination counter.

  When the production state is set to the AT state in this way, processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 16 is performed.

  First, when the start lever SL is pressed for each game (Y in step S310), a decrement update is performed to subtract a value corresponding to one game from the value of the AT end determination counter 1923 (step S311).

  When three special small roles belonging to any one of the small role group 1 to the small role group 12 are elected in the internal lottery performed when the start lever SL is pressed (Y in step S312), the first special The order of pressing the stop button that can execute the effect and win the special small combination A or special small combination B is notified (step S313).

  Here, in the present embodiment, in the game in which three types of special small roles belonging to the small role group 1 to small role group 12 are won, none of the special small roles belonging to the selected small role group could be won. In this case, the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L. When the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L (Y in step S314), the special symbol combination is changed as the replay lottery state changes from the second replay high probability state to the first replay low probability state. A flag is set (step S315).

  On the other hand, when the replay is won in the internal lottery (N in step S312 and Y in step S318), it is checked whether or not a special flag is set (step S319). In the present embodiment, it is possible to confirm that the replay lottery state is the first replay low-probability state depending on whether or not the special flag is set. If the special flag is set (Y in step S319), if replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay D are selected in the first replay low probability state, or replay is performed. Since A, Replay C, and Replay D are selected in duplicate, the second special effect is executed to notify the pressing order of stop buttons that can win Replay C (step S321).

  When Replay C wins (Y in Step S321), the special flag is cleared as the replay lottery state changes from the first replay low probability state to the second replay high probability state (Step S322).

  In this embodiment, every time a game is played in the AT state, it is checked whether or not the value of the AT end determination counter 1923 has reached an initial value (for example, 0), and the value of the AT end determination counter 1923 is When the initial value is reached (Y in step S316), the AT state is terminated by clearing the AT flag (step S317).

  In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the game in the AT state, the end condition for the AT state is established, and if the big bonus (BB) is won (N in step S318) In step S323 Y), the AT state is ended by initializing the AT flag and the AT end determination counter 1923 by the process of step S305 shown in FIG.

  In the control method of the present embodiment described above, in the game in the AT state, the replay lottery state in accordance with the special symbol combination being displayed on the winning determination line L when the player erroneously presses the stop button. And the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to D is won decreases, the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to D is won is increased again. By giving an opportunity, it is possible to relieve the player's sense of tension with respect to the game, provide a gaming machine that is less likely to be avoided by players who are not yet skilled in operation skills, and stabilize the operating rate of the gaming machine.

  In particular, in this embodiment, even if the replay lottery state fluctuates, the production state is maintained in the AT state, so that the first special production assists the winning of special small role A and special small role B. This gives the player the impression that the situation that is advantageous to the player continues, and the player knows that the replay lottery state has fallen to the first replay low probability state because the production state does not change. By making it harder, it is possible to prevent a player's willingness to play from being reduced.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the case has been described in which the number of games that will be the end condition of the AT state is selected by lottery from among a plurality of types of game numbers. Also good. In addition, the end condition of the AT state may be managed in a set unit with a certain number of games as one set. In this case, when the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L, the execution of the second special effect may be permitted only until the set being digested is completed, or all sets may be permitted. You may make it permit execution of a 2nd special effect until it complete | finishes. Moreover, you may make it provide a restriction | limiting in the execution frequency of a 2nd special production. Further, the AT condition end condition may be determined not by the number of games but by the number of executions of the first special effect.

  In the above embodiment, the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability by setting a special flag based on the special symbol combination displayed on the winning determination line L in the game in the second replay high probability state. I was able to confirm that I was staying in the state, but instead of confirming whether the special flag was set or not, I got the replay lottery state and confirmed that I was staying in the first replay low probability state You may make it do.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the second special effect is executed on the condition that the AT state is maintained so that the AT state is maintained even when the replay lottery state fluctuates has been described. However, the AT state may be changed to a different effect state when the lottery state of the replay changes, and the second special effect may be executed in the change destination effect state.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the combination belonging to the first combination and the combination belonging to the second combination is a small combination, but the combination belonging to the first combination and the combination belonging to the second combination is replayed. It may be.

  In the above embodiment, the player determines the type of winning combination and whether or not the winning combination has been won according to the stop mode of the first reel R1 when the stop button B1 is first pressed with the first reel R1 as the specific reel. The case where it is impossible to do so has been described as an example. However, with the second reel R2 as a specific reel, the type of winning combination and the winning combination are determined depending on the stop mode of the second reel R2 when the stop button B2 is first pressed. Whether the player can determine whether or not a prize has been won, or if the third reel R3 is a specific reel and the stop button B3 is pressed first, the type of winning combination and the winning combination win The presence or absence of the player may not be determined by the player.

  In addition, the variation control of the replay lottery state and the control related to the AT state are not limited to the modes shown in the above embodiment, and various modes can be adopted. Below, the modification of the said embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIGS.

  First, in this modification, three types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery table F to internal lottery table H) as shown in FIG. In FIG. 17, only the internal lottery table for the normal state is shown. However, in the bonus establishment state, the winning region of the big bonus (BB) may be associated with the loss in the internal lottery table F to the internal lottery table H. Illustration is omitted, and in the bonus state, the internal lottery table E shown in FIG. Further, for the internal lottery table F, replay C and replay D may be excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the example shown in FIG. 17, unlike the above-described embodiment, a replay E is prepared as a target combination for internal lottery. For the replay E, when the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 4 is adopted, it is possible to set as a combination in which symbol combinations showing six types of winning patterns as shown in FIG. 18 are associated.

  And the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to D in the internal lottery table F will win is the same as the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to E in the internal lottery table G will win. The probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to D in the internal lottery table H is won is the winning probability of at least one type of replay among the replays A to D in the internal lottery table F. Is set to be higher than the probability of winning at least one of the replays A to E in the internal lottery table G. In addition, the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to D in the internal lottery table F is won and the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to E in the internal lottery table G are won are either One probability may be set to be relatively high.

  Further, in this modification, the winning determination means 140 is arranged on the winning determination line L with the symbol combination “RPA / DUM / RPA”, the symbol combination “RPA / CH / RPA”, and the symbol “RPA / black 7 / RPA”. Replay E wins when any of the combinations, “RPB / DUM / RPA” symbol combination, “RPB / CH / RPA” symbol combination, or “RPB / Black 7 / RPA” symbol combination is displayed. judge.

  And in this modification, as the replay lottery state, there is a probability that at least one type of replay will win among the replay A-replay D in which all of Replay A to Replay E are excluded from the internal lottery targets. The probability that at least one type of replay among the third replay low probability state and the fifth replay low probability state, which is set to about 1 / 7.3, and replay A to replay E, is set to about 1 / 7.3. The fourth replay low probability state, and the third replay high probability state and the fourth replay high probability state in which the probability that at least one type of replay among the replays A to D is won is set to about 1 / 2.5. A plurality of types of lottery states can be set, and the replay probability variation means 175 changes the replay lottery state as shown in FIG. And by, to change the winning probability of a replay in the internal lottery (replay A~ replay E).

  More specifically, the replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the third replay low probability state as an initial state. In the third replay low probability state, when the gaming state is the normal state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table F is performed, and when the gaming state is the bonus establishment state, the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery table F An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table in which the winning area is associated with the loss.

  The replay probability changing means 175 changes the replay lottery state to the fourth replay low probability state when the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L when the replay lottery state is the third replay low probability state. Set. In the fourth replay low probability state, when the gaming state is the normal state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table G is performed, and when the gaming state is the bonus establishment state, the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery table G An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table in which the winning area is associated with the loss.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is the fourth replay low probability state, the replay probability changing means 175 displays the replay lottery state when the symbol combination indicating the replay C winning form is displayed on the winning determination line L. Set to 3 replay high probability state. In the third replay high probability state, when the gaming state is the normal state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table H is performed, and when the gaming state is the bonus establishment state, the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery table H An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table in which the winning area is associated with the loss. In the third replay high probability state, when the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L, the replay probability variation means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the fourth replay low probability state.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is the fourth replay low probability state, the replay probability varying means 175 displays the replay lottery state when the symbol combination indicating the replay D winning form is displayed on the winning determination line L. Set to 5 replay low probability state. In the fifth replay low probability state, when the gaming state is the normal state, an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table F is performed, and when the gaming state is a bonus establishment state, the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery table F An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table in which the winning area is associated with the loss.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 175, when the replay lottery state is set to the fifth replay low probability state, causes the RT end determination counter 1915 of the storage means 190 to play a predetermined number of games (for example, 350 times). Each time a game in the fifth replay low probability state is performed, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game is stored from the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915. Decrement update to be subtracted. When the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the replay lottery state is returned to the third replay low probability state. Here, in the game in the fifth replay low probability state, even if a special symbol combination or a symbol combination indicating a winning form of Replay C is displayed on the winning determination line L, the lottery state of the replay is not changed. Since the game does not return to the third replay low probability state until the first game is played, the stop button B2, aiming for the replay C winning even though the game is not in the AT state in the fourth replay low probability state game. It is possible to reliably impose a penalty when a dishonest game of pressing B3 first is performed.

  The replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the fourth replay high probability state when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay E is displayed on the winning determination line L. In the fourth replay high probability state, when the gaming state is the normal state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table H is performed, and when the gaming state is the bonus establishment state, the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery table H An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table in which the winning area is associated with the loss.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 175, when the replay lottery state is set to the fourth replay high probability state, causes the RT end determination counter 1915 of the storage means 190 to play a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 times). Each time a game in the fifth replay high probability state is performed, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game is stored from the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915. Decrement update to be subtracted. When the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the replay lottery state is returned to the third replay low probability state.

  In addition, when the big bonus (BB) wins, the replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the non-replay lottery state, and the replay lottery state is changed to the third replay low probability state when the bonus state ends. Return. When the replay lottery state is the fourth replay high probability state or the fifth replay low probability state and the big bonus (BB) is won, the replay probability varying means 175 indicates that the replay lottery state is the replay no lottery state. As a result, the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 is reset to an initial value (for example, 0).

  In this modification, the third replay low probability state or the fifth replay low probability state cannot be shifted to the fourth replay high probability state. It may be possible to shift from the low probability state to the fourth replay high probability state.

  In this modification, the control related to the AT state is performed as follows in accordance with the state transition of the replay lottery state shown in FIG.

  First, the effect control means 180 stores the effect flag when the AT reservation flag is set when the replay lottery state changes from the third replay low probability state to the fourth replay low probability state after the bonus state ends. An AT flag is set in the means 1922. In other words, in the present modification, the AT reservation flag is set when the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L in the game in which the lottery state of the replay after the bonus state ends is set to the third replay low probability state. The production state is set to the AT state on the condition that it is set.

  And in this modification, when the production state is set to the AT state, the replay lottery state is the fourth replay low probability state, the fifth replay low probability state, the third replay high probability state, and the fourth replay. In a game in which three types of special small roles belonging to small role group 1 to small role group 12 are selected in an internal lottery in a game set to a high probability state, a special small role A or special small role B is won. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are controlled to execute a first special effect that assists the user.

  Further, in this modification, when the production state is set to the AT state, the replay A, the replay C, and the replay D are performed in the internal lottery in the game in which the replay lottery state is set to the fourth replay low probability state. When the player is won in duplicate, and when Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won in duplicate, the display device 330 and the audio device 340 execute a second special effect that assists in winning the Replay C. Control is performed. That is, in this modification, unlike the above embodiment, when the replay lottery state stays in the fourth replay low-probability state, if the production state is set to the AT state, the replay C wins Since the second special effect is sometimes executed at all times, it is not necessary to perform the second special effect after setting the special flag or setting the special flag as in the above embodiment, so that the processing load can be reduced. It can be done.

  Further, in this modification, the effect control means 180 is used when the big bonus (BB) is won or the value of the AT end determination counter 1923 reaches the initial value in a game in which the effect state is set to the AT state. However, the AT flag is cleared to end the AT state. In other words, in this modification, the AT flag is changed even if the replay lottery state changes to the fifth replay low probability state by replay D winning in a game in which the replay lottery state is set to the fourth replay low probability state. If the AT state continues without being cleared and the three special small roles belonging to the small role group 1 to the small role group 12 are selected and won, the first special effect is executed and the AT end determination counter 1923 The value is also decremented for each game. Further, in this modification, when the replay lottery state is set to the fifth replay low probability state or the fourth replay high probability state and the production state is set to the AT state, a predetermined number of games are consumed. Accordingly, even when the replay lottery state changes to the third replay low probability state, the AT flag is not cleared and the AT state continues.

  However, when the replay lottery state is set to the third replay low probability state, the effect control means 180 holds the execution of the first special effect even if the effect state is set to the AT state, and determines the AT end. The decrement update of the value of the counter 1923 is executed for each game. When the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L and the replay lottery state changes to the fourth replay low probability state, the AT end determination counter 1923 If the value has not reached the initial value, the execution suspension of the first special effect is canceled, and at the time of replay C winning, control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the second special effect.

  In this modification, when the replay lottery state changes from the fourth replay low probability state to the fifth replay low probability state, the AT state is continued without clearing the AT flag, but the replay lottery state is If the state changes from the fourth replay low probability state to the fifth replay low probability state, the AT flag may be cleared to end the AT state, or the execution of the first special effect is suspended while the AT state is continued. You may do it.

  In this modification, when the replay lottery state changes from the fifth replay low probability state to the third replay low probability state, the AT state is continued without clearing the AT flag. When the state changes from the fifth replay low probability state to the third replay low probability state, the AT flag may be cleared to end the AT state.

  Further, in this modification, when the replay lottery state changes from the fifth replay low probability state to the third replay low probability state, the execution of the first special effect is suspended even if the production state is set to the AT state. However, if the replay lottery state changes from the fifth replay low-probability state to the third replay low-probability state, if the rendition state is set to the AT state, the first special effect is executed. Also good.

  Also, in the present modification, when the replay lottery state changes from the third replay low-probability state to the fourth replay low-probability state after the bonus state ends, the performance state is set to AT on the condition that the AT reservation flag is set. Although the state is set to the state, the effect state may be set to the AT state on condition that the AT reservation flag is set after the bonus state ends, as in the case of the above embodiment.

  In the modification described above, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, the special symbol combination is displayed on the winning determination line L because the player mistakenly pressed the stop button in the game in the AT state. Accordingly, when the replay lottery state fluctuates and the probability that at least one of the replays A to D is won is reduced, at least one of the replays A to D is won. The opportunity to re-elevate the probability of playing can be reduced, and the player's sense of tension can be eased. It can be stabilized.
