Examples of small roles include “bell”, “watermelon”, “cherry”, and the like.
(2) Transition combination As will be described later, the transition combination is a combination that can be transferred to a special game by the special game control means 340 and carried over to the next and subsequent games.

There are the following types of special games.
Note that the types of special games are not limited to the following (2-1) to (2-2).
(2-1) So-called regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as “RB”)
RB is a game that is more advantageous to players than general games. The RB shifts from the general game on condition that three predetermined symbols (for example, “BAR”) set in advance are awarded.

Note that medals are not paid out when winning an RB.
(2-2) A so-called big bonus (hereinafter referred to as “BB”)
BB is a game in which RB can be performed multiple times, which is more advantageous to the player than general games. BB shifts from the general game on condition that three special symbols (for example, “7”) set in advance are won.

It should be noted that medals are not paid out when winning a BB.
After the transition, the BB ends on the condition that a preset end condition, for example, a maximum medal acquisition number that can be acquired by the player, for example, “465” has been reached.
The BB end condition is not limited to reaching the maximum medal acquisition number, but other conditions may be the end condition, and the large medal acquisition number is not limited to “465”.

(3) Re-playing role The re-playing role is a role that allows the next game to be played without inserting medals on condition that preset re-playing symbols are prepared.
(Duplicate winning)
The combination lottery means 310 determines one or more types from among the three types of transition combinations (for example, BB), small combination, and re-playing combination by winning.

A case where only one kind of winning combination is won, for example, a case where only a small winning combination is won is called “single winning”.
In addition, when two or more types of winning combinations are won at the same time, for example, when a small winning combination and a transitional winning combination are simultaneously won, it is referred to as “duplicate winning”.
As illustrated in Table 1 below, the probability of overlapping winning is varied depending on the type of combination.

In addition, the kind of combination and the numerical value of the probability of overlapping winning with BB are not limited to the above-described Table 1.
As is apparent from Table 1 above, the probability of overlapping winning of “Bell” and “BB”, which is an example of a small role, is set to “1/5”. “1/5” means that “Bell” and “BB” are won once every five times. That is, the probability of “Bell” winning alone is “80%”, and the probability of overlapping winning “Bell” and “BB” is “20%”.

The probability of overlapping winning of “watermelon” and “BB”, which is an example of a small role, is set to “1/10”. “1/10” means that “watermelon” and “BB” are won in duplicate at a rate of once every 10 times. In other words, the probability of single winning of “watermelon” is “90%”, and the probability of overlapping winning of “watermelon” and “BB” is “10%”.
Similarly, the probability of overlapping winning between “Cherry” and “BB”, which is an example of a small role, is set to “1/10”. “1/10” means that “Cherry” and “BB” are won once every 10 times. That is, the probability of “Cherry” alone winning is “90%”, and the probability of overlapping winning “Cherry” and “BB” is “10%”.

The probability of overlapping winning between “re-gamer” and “BB” is set to “1/100”. “1/100” means that “re-game player” and “BB” are won once in every 100 times. That is, the probability of single winning of “re-gamer” is “99%”, and the probability of overlapping winning of “re-gamer” and “BB” is “1%”.
On the other hand, as is clear from Table 1 above, when “Bell”, which is an example of a small role, is selected, the probability of overlapping winning with BB is greater than when “Re-game” is selected. Is highly selected.

For this reason, when “Bell”, which is an example of a small role, wins, it is possible to enhance the player's expectation for winning the BB.

The re-game control means 350 is for controlling a re-game that allows the next game without inserting a game medium (for example, a medal), so-called replay (hereinafter also referred to as “RP”).
(Replay high probability game control means 360)
The replay high-probability game control means 360 is a re-game combination by the role lottery means 310 on condition that the transition condition to the re-play high-probability game (replay time (hereinafter also referred to as “RT”)) is achieved. The re-playing high-probability game (RT) for improving the winning probability is executed until reaching a preset number of games (hereinafter also referred to as “RT times”).
(Signal transmission means 370)
The signal transmission means 370 is for transmitting a signal indicating whether or not the winning combination determined by the winning lottery means 310 is transmitted to the sub-control means 400.

That is, the signal transmission means 370, when winning one of a plurality of types of small roles by the role lottery means 310, transmits a single winning signal indicating the winning of the small role to the sub-control means 400 and In the case where one winning combination of a plurality of kinds of winning combinations and a transition winning combination are won by the means 310, a duplicate winning signal indicating the overlapping winning is transmitted to the sub-control means 400.
Specifically, the signal transmission means 370 includes the following means as shown in FIG.

The means of the signal transmission means 370 is not limited to the following (1).
(1) Signal conversion means 371

Specifically, the notification effecting means 420 performs the notification effect by the notification effecting means 420 in a game including the end of the set number of games in accordance with the number of notification rights held by the possession number counting means 440 described later. I am trying to do it.
That is, the notification effecting unit 420 converts the number of held notification rights counted by the number-of-owned-counting unit 440 into one game per piece, and subtracts the number of converted games from the set number of games to obtain the remaining number of games. In addition to the calculation, the notification effect is started on the condition that the remaining number of games has been reached, and thereafter the notification effect is continuously executed until the set number of games is reached.

Further, the notification effecting means 420 executes the notification effect by the notification effecting means 420 in the game immediately before the end of the set game number when it is determined by the notification right determination means 460 described later that the notification right is granted. Like to do.
In addition, the notification effecting means 420 executes the notification effect by the notification effecting means 420 at the end of the set number of games when the notification right determination means 460 determines that the notification right is not granted. I have to.

As a notification effect at the end of the set number of games, “bonus check” is executed as described later.
(Notification rights lottery means 430)
The notice right lottery means 430 gives the right to execute the notice effect by the notice effect means 420 based on the lottery result by the role lotter means 310 during the replay high probability game (RT) by the replay high probability game control means 360. It is for determining whether to do by lottery.

Further, the notification right lottery means 430 is limited to the maximum number of notification rights that can be granted, for example, six.
Note that the maximum number is not limited to 6, and may be 2 to 5, or 7 or more.
On the other hand, the notice right lottery means 430 also functions as an effect lottery means.
That is, when the effect lottery means receives the single winning signal transmitted from the signal transmitting means 370, the effect lottery performs the effect lottery based on the single winning signal and receives the duplicate winning signal transmitted from the signal transmitting means 370. In this case, the effect lottery is performed based on the duplicate winning signal.

Specifically, the production lottery means that a production with a higher degree of reliability can be selected when the production lottery is based on the duplicate winning signal than when the production lottery is based on the single winning signal. Highly set.
The production lottery means is not limited to the notice right lottery means 430.
Specifically, the notification right lottery means 430 includes the following means as shown in FIG.

(1) Item lottery means 431
Note that the means of the notification right lottery means 430 is not limited to the above (1).
(Item lottery means 431)
Based on the lottery result by the role lottery means 310, the item lottery means 431 converts one item from a plurality of types of items stored in the item storage means 451 described later into three types of coins 41 of gold, silver, and copper. In addition to the case of “no coin”, one of the four types is selected.

  The relationship between the type of combination and the acquisition rate of coins 41 (items) is as shown in Table 2 below.

Note that the relationship between the type of combination and the acquisition rate of coins 41 (items) is not limited to the numerical values shown in Table 2 above.
As is clear from Table 2 above, for example, in the case of winning the “bell”, which is an example of a small role, when the “duplicate winning signal” is received, the coin 41 (item) of “golden” is received. The acquisition rate is set to “50%”, “silver color” is set to “30%”, and “copper color” is set to “15%”, respectively, and the total acquisition rate of coins 41 (items) is “95%”. On the other hand, when the “single winning signal” is received, “gold” is set to “20%”, “silver” is set to “20%”, and “copper” is set to “30%”. The total acquisition rate of (items) is “70%”. That is, when the “duplicate winning signal” is received, the total acquisition rate of the coins 41 (items) is set higher than when the “single winning signal” is received.

For this reason, when the coin 41 (item) can be acquired, the possibility that the BB is carried over, that is, “inside inside”, compared to the case where the coin 41 (item) cannot be acquired. The player's expectation for winning the BB can be raised.
Next, when comparing the types of coins 41 (items), when “bell”, which is an example of a small role, is won, and “duplicate winning signal” is received, “golden” coin 41 (item) is received. The acquisition rate of “50%” is the highest, “silver” is “30%”, and “copper” is “15%” in order. On the other hand, when the “single winning signal” is received, “copper color” is the highest “30%”, and “gold” and “silver” are both set to “20%”. That is, when the “duplicate winning signal” is received, the acquisition rate of “golden” coins 41 (items) is set higher than when the “single winning signal” is received.

For this reason, when the “golden” coin 41 (item) can be obtained, the BB carries over compared to the case where the coin 41 (item) of other colors “silver” and “copper” is obtained. It is highly possible that the player is “inside the inside”, and the player's expectation for winning the BB can be raised.
On the other hand, the item lottery means 431 of the notification right lottery means 430 (effect lottery means) can draw the coin 41 (item) using the table illustrated in Table 2 described above.

  That is, when the item lottery means 431 receives the “duplicate winning signal” from the main control means 300, the item lottery means 431 uses the acquisition rate exemplified in Table 2 above to determine the coin 41 (item ) And the color when coins 41 (items) are acquired are determined by lottery. Also, when a “single winning signal” is received, the same lottery can be performed.

Compared with the conventional effect lottery method, the conventional effect lottery method prepares two types of tables, “inside inside” and “non-inside inside”, and stores the signals received from the main control means and the sub-control means. It was necessary to read the state of the bonus flag and perform the effect lottery while switching between the two types of tables.
Compared to the above-described conventional effect lottery system, the effect lottery means (notification right lottery means 430 and its item lottery means 431) of the present embodiment does not need to store the state of the bonus flag, and two types of tables. There is an advantage that the effect lottery can be performed easily and quickly using the signal transmitted from the main control means 300.
(Holding number counting means 440)
The held number counting means 440 is for counting the number of held notification rights granted by the notification right lottery means 430.
(Item display means 450)
The item display means 450 is an item for notifying the player that the notice right has been granted by the notice right lottery means 430, for example, for displaying the coin 41 on the image display device 40 as shown in FIG. It is.

The item is not limited to the coin 41.
Specifically, the item display means 450 includes the following means as shown in FIG.
The item display means 450 is not limited to the following (1).
(1) Item storage means 451
The item storage unit 451 is for storing a plurality of types of items.

Specifically, as an item, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a coin 41 is used, and the coin 41 is divided into three types of gold, silver, and copper.
Note that the types of coins are not limited to gold, silver, and copper, and the number of types is not limited to three.
(Notification rights determination means 460)
The notification right determination means 460 is for determining whether or not the notification right is granted by the notification right lottery means 430.
(Sound effect generator 470)
The sound effect generating means 470 is for outputting various sound effects from the speaker 100 as the game progresses.
(Description of FIGS. 4 to 11)
Next, an example of the display screen of the image display device 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.
(Description of FIG. 4)
First, FIG. 4 shows an example of an acquisition screen for coins 41 (items).

The coin 41 is displayed in different colors, gold, silver and copper.
(Description of FIG. 5)
FIG. 5 shows an example of a non-acquired screen for coins 41 (items).

When a replay (RP) is won during a replay high probability game (RT), a winning symbol image 42 composed of characters “R” is displayed on the left side of FIG. At this time, if the right to notify is not granted, the characters “HIT!” Are displayed on the right side.
(Explanation of FIG. 6)
FIG. 6 shows an example of a display screen for the number of coins 41 (items) held.

In accordance with the number of notification rights held during the replay high probability game (RT), for example, item images of six coins 41 (items) are displayed in a vertical row in the left corner of FIG. .
An RT count display image 43 for displaying the RT count is displayed in the upper right part of the screen.
(Explanation of FIG. 7)
FIG. 7 shows an example of a notification effect during a replay high probability game (RT).

When the notification effect is started during the replay high probability game (RT), symbol images 44 to 46 are displayed on the screen in three horizontal rows. Similar to the reels 31 to 33 in FIG. 3, the symbol images 44 to 46 are used to variably display numbers, English letters, pictures, etc., and after the variable display, the symbol images 44 to 46 are stopped and displayed. In FIG. 7, the symbols “7, 7, 7” are stopped and displayed as the symbol images 44 to 46, and the symbol BB matches the BB symbol, which implies that the symbol is inside the BB.
(Description of FIG. 8)
FIG. 8 shows another example of the notification effect during the replay high probability game (RT).

In FIG. 8, the symbols “7, 7, R” are stopped and displayed as the symbol images 44 to 46, and since this is a “missing eye”, it is implied that a special game such as BB is “lost”. Yes.
(Description of FIG. 9)
FIG. 9 shows an example of a notification effect start screen after the end of the replay high probability game (RT).

In FIG. 9, the characters “BONUS CHECK” (bonus check) are displayed.
(Explanation of FIG. 10)

Various types of variable images 47 to 49 are displayed. The three types of variable images 47 to 49 are rotated and displayed in a triangle shape, and enlarged when displayed at the center.
The first variable image 47 composed of characters “MID” implies the inside of the RB.

The second variable image 48 composed of the characters “BIG” implies the inside of the BB.
The third variable image 49 composed of the characters “out of” implies the inside.
(Description of FIG. 11)
FIG. 11 shows an example of a notification display stop display screen after the end of the replay high probability game (RT).

In FIG. 11, the second variable image 48 composed of the characters “BIG” is enlarged and displayed alone.
That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the three types of variable images 47 to 49 are variably displayed and then stopped. At this time, only one variable image 47 to 49 stopped and displayed at the center is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG.
(Description of FIGS. 12 to 16)
Next, the operation of the slot machine will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
(Explanation of FIG. 12)
First, the main control process will be described with reference to FIG.

After a transition from a general game to a special game and the special game is completed, a transition is made to a replay high probability game (RT). When the replay high probability game (RT) is started, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds to step S10, and initialization is performed.
The initial setting is executed by the main control means 300 in FIG.
Specifically, the RT number (M) is set in the initial setting. The RT number (M) is set to, for example, 50 times, 100 times, or 150 times, depending on the immediately preceding special game.

After the initial setting, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S10 to the next step S11, and it is determined whether or not the start switch 70 (start SW) of FIGS. 1 and 3 is turned on.
The above determination is performed by the main control means 300 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if the start switch 70 (start SW) is not turned on (ie, is kept in the off state), step S11 is repeated.

On the other hand, when the start switch 70 (start SW) is turned on (ON), as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S11 to the next step S12, and the winning lottery is executed.
The role lottery is executed by the role lottery means 310 of the main control means 300 of FIG.
After the winning lottery, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S12 to the next step S13, where it is determined whether or not the bonus flag (F) is set to “1”.

The bonus flag (F) is set in step S21 described later. Further, although not shown, the bonus flag (F) is reset to “0” when the BB is won.
The above determination is performed by the main control means 300 in FIG.
As a result of the above determination, if the bonus flag (F) is set, that is, if it is inside, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S13 to the next step S14. Conversion to a duplicate winning signal is performed.

The conversion to the duplicate winning signal is executed by the signal conversion means 371 in FIG.
After the conversion to the duplicate winning signal, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S14 to the next step S15, and the duplicate winning signal is transmitted to the sub-control means 400.
The duplicate winning signal is transmitted by the signal transmission means 370 of FIG.
After transmitting the duplicate winning signal, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S15 to the next step S16 to determine whether or not all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG. 3 are stopped.

The above determination is performed by the reel stop control means 320 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if all the three reels 31 to 33 are not stopped, step S16 is repeated as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, when all the three reels 31 to 33 are stopped, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S16 to the next step S17, and “one time” is subtracted from the RT number (M). .

The subtraction is executed by the replay high probability game control means 360 shown in FIG.
After the subtraction, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S17 to the next step S18, where it is determined whether or not the RT number (M) is “0”.
The above determination is performed by the replay high probability game control means 360 of FIG.
If the number of RTs (M) is not “0” as a result of the above determination, as shown in FIG. 12, the process returns from step S18 to step S11 described above, and the start switch 70 (start SW) is turned on ( ON) is determined.

On the other hand, when the number of RTs (M) is not “0”, as shown in FIG. 12, the replay high probability game (RT) is ended and the game returns to the general game.
On the other hand, if the bonus flag (F) is not set in step S13 described above, that is, if it is not inside, the process proceeds to the next step S20 as shown in FIG. Determined.

The determination of duplicate winning is performed by the main control means 300 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, in the case of overlapping winning, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S20 to the next step S21, and “1” is set in the bonus flag (F).
The setting of the bonus flag (F) is executed by the main control means 300 in FIG.
After the bonus flag (F) is set, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S21 to step S15 described above, and a duplicate winning signal is transmitted to the sub-control means 400.

On the other hand, in the above-described step S20, when it is not a duplicate winning, the process proceeds to the next step S30 as shown in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not it is a single winning.
The determination of the single winning is performed by the main control means 300 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, in the case of the single winning, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S30 to the next step S31, and the single winning signal is transmitted to the sub-control means 400.

The single winning signal is transmitted by the signal transmission means 370 of FIG.
After the transmission of the single winning signal, as shown in FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S31 to step S16 described above, and it is determined whether or not all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG.
On the other hand, in the above-described step S30, if it is not a single winning, that is, “out of”, the process proceeds to the above-described step S16 as shown in FIG. 12, and all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG. It is determined whether or not has stopped.

Even in the case of “missing”, a signal or command meaning “missing” is transmitted to the sub-control means 400.
(Description of FIG. 13)
Next, the sub control process will be described with reference to FIG.
When the replay high probability game (RT) is started, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to step S40, and initialization is performed.

The initial setting is executed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG.
Specifically, the RT number (M) is set in the initial setting. In addition, the number of games (G) and the number of coins acquired (C) are reset to “0”.
After the initial setting, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S40 to the next step S41, and a bonus check forced lottery processing subroutine is executed.

The bonus check forced lottery process is executed by the sub-control means 400 of FIG.
The bonus check compulsory lottery process will be described later with reference to FIG. 16, but when the bonus check compulsion is selected, the replay high probability game (RT) is played until the final round without acquiring the coin 41. After the process is completed, the process proceeds to step S51 described later, and a bonus check is forcibly executed.

After completion of the bonus check forced lottery processing subroutine, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S41 to the next step S42, and the signal transmitted from the main control means 300 is received.
The signal reception is executed by the signal receiving means 410 of the sub-control means 400 in FIG.
After receiving the signal, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S42 to the next step S43, and it is determined whether or not the number of games (G) is equal to the number of RTs (M).

The above determination is executed by the sub-control unit 400 of FIG.
As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the number of games (G) is not equal to the number of RTs (M), that is, if the game has not proceeded to the final game, the process proceeds from step S43 to the flowchart shown in FIG. .
On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of games (G) is equal to the number of RTs (M), that is, when the game proceeds to the final game, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S43 to the next step S44. Then, it is determined whether or not the coin acquisition number (C) is “1” or more.

The determination is performed by the notification effect unit 420 of FIG.
As a result of the determination, if the number of coins acquired (C) is “1” or more, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S44 to the next step S45, where a notification effect is executed.
The notification effect is executed by the notification effect means 420 of FIG.
After execution of the notification effect, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S45 to the next step S46, and it is determined whether or not all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG. 3 are stopped.

The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, when all the three reels 31 to 33 are not stopped, step S46 is repeated as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, when all the three reels 31 to 33 are stopped, as shown in FIG. 13, the replay high-probability game (RT) is ended and the game returns to the general game.

  General games include “inside inside” general games and “inside inside” general games, and “inside inside” general games are general games in which the bonus flag is carried over, and the main control The process proceeds when a “duplicate winning signal” is received from the means 300. On the other hand, the “non-inside” general game is a general game in which the bonus flag is not carried over, and shifts to the case where the “single winning signal” is received from the main control means 300.

On the other hand, if the coin acquisition number (C) is not “1” or more, that is, “0”, the process proceeds to the next step S50 as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not all three reels 31 to 33 are stopped.
The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if all the three reels 31 to 33 are not stopped, step S50 is repeated as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when all the three reels 31 to 33 are stopped, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S50 to the next step S51, and a bonus check is executed.
The bonus check is executed by the notification effect unit 420 of FIG.
For example, the screens illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 11 described above are displayed on the image display device 40.
After execution of the bonus check, as shown in FIG. 13, the process proceeds from step S51 to the next step S52, and a bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is reset to “0” as will be described later with reference to FIG.

The bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is reset by the sub-control means 400 of FIG.
After the bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is reset, as shown in FIG. 13, the replay high probability game (RT) is terminated and the game returns to the general game.
As described above, when the general game has received the “duplicate winning signal” from the main control means 300, the general game shifts to the “inside” general game and receives the “single winning signal”. The game shifts to a general game “not inside”.
(Explanation of FIG. 14)
Next, the sub control processing following FIG. 13 will be described with reference to FIG.

In step S43 of FIG. 13 described above, if it is determined that the number of games (G) is not equal to the number of RTs (M), that is, if the game has not proceeded to the final game, the process proceeds to step S60 of FIG. It is determined whether or not the bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is reset to “0”.
The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG.

As a result of the determination, if the bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is reset to “0”, the process proceeds from step S60 to the next step S61 as shown in FIG. Whether or not “one sheet” or more is determined.
The determination is performed by the notification effect unit 420 of FIG.
As a result of the above determination, if the coin acquisition number (C) is “1” or more, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S61 to the next step S62, where the number of games (G) is the number of RTs (M ) Is equal to the number of games (M−C) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C).

  For example, assuming that the number of RTs (M) is “100G” and the number of coins acquired (C) is “6”, the number of games (M−C) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M). Becomes “94G”. For this reason, when the number of games (G) is “94G”, it is determined as “Yes” (YES). When the number of games (G) is equal to or less than “93G”, it is determined as “No” (NO).

The determination is performed by the notification effect unit 420 of FIG.
As a result of the determination, if the number of games (G) is equal to the number of games (M−C) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M), as shown in FIG. Proceeding to next step S63, the introduction effect of the notification effect is executed.
The introduction effect is executed by the notification effect means 420 of FIG.

After execution of the introductory effect, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S63 to the next step S64, and it is determined whether or not all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG. 3 are stopped.
The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG.
As a result of the above determination, if all the three reels 31 to 33 are not stopped, step S64 is repeated as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when all the three reels 31 to 33 are stopped, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S64 to the next step S65, and “1G” is added to the number of games (G). .
The addition of the number of games (G) is executed by the sub-control means 400 in FIG.
After the addition of the number of games (G), as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S65 to step S42 in FIG. 13 described above, and the signal transmitted from the main control means 300 is received.

  On the other hand, if the number of games (G) is not equal to the number of games (M−C) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M) in step S62 described above, as shown in FIG. Then, proceeding to the next step S80, whether or not the number of games (G) is equal to or greater than the number of games (M−C + 1) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M) and adding “1G”. Is determined.

  For example, assuming that the RT number (M) is “100G” and the coin acquisition number (C) is “6”, the coin acquisition number (C) is subtracted from the RT number (M), and “1G” is added. The number of games played (M−C + 1) is “95G”. Therefore, when the number of games (G) is “95G” to “99G”, it is determined as “Yes” (YES). When the number of games (G) is “94G” or less, it is determined as “No” (NO).

The determination is performed by the notification effect unit 420 of FIG.
As a result of the above determination, when the number of games (G) is not equal to or greater than the number of games (M−C + 1) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M) and adding “1G”, that is, the number of games ( If it is less than (M−C + 1), the process proceeds from step S80 to the next step 90, where a coin (item) lottery processing subroutine shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the number of games (G) is equal to or more than the number of games (M−C + 1) obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M) and adding “1G”, FIG. As shown, the process proceeds from step S80 to the next step S81, where a notification effect is executed.
The notification effect is executed by the notification effect means 420 of FIG.
After execution of the notification effect, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S81 to step S64 described above, and it is determined whether or not all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG. 3 are stopped.

As described above, for example, assuming that the number of RTs (M) is “100G” and the number of coins acquired (C) is “6”, when “94G” is reached, the “introduction effect” is executed and “95G” is executed. From “100G” to “100G”, the notification effect is executed continuously for 6G.
On the other hand, if the bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is not reset to “0” in step S60 described above, that is, if the bonus check compulsory flag (BC) is set to “1”, FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds to the next step S70, and other effects are executed.

Other effects are executed by the sub-control means 400 in FIG.
For example, the screen illustrated in FIG. 5 described above is displayed on the image display device 40.
After execution of the other effects, as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S70 to step S64 described above, and it is determined whether or not all the three reels 31 to 33 in FIG. 3 are stopped.
On the other hand, if the coin acquisition number (C) is not “1” or more in step S61 described above, that is, if the coin acquisition number (C) is “0”, as shown in FIG. Proceeding to the next step 90, a subroutine of coin (item) lottery processing shown in FIG. 15 described later is executed.

In step S80, the number of games (G) is obtained by subtracting the number of coins acquired (C) from the number of RTs (M) and adding “1G”, that is, the number of games (M−C + 1), that is, the number of games (M Also in the case of less than -C + 1), as shown in FIG. 14, the process proceeds to the above-described step 90, and a coin (item) lottery processing subroutine shown in FIG.
(Explanation of FIG. 15)
Next, a coin (item) lottery processing subroutine (see FIG. 14) will be described with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 15, the process proceeds to step S91, and a lottery of coins 41 (items) is executed.
The lottery of coins 41 (items) is performed by the item lottery means 431 in FIG.
After the coin 41 (item) lottery, as shown in FIG. 15, the process proceeds from step S91 to the next step S92 to determine whether or not the right to execute the notification effect (notification right) has been granted. Since the coin 41 (item) can be acquired when the right is granted, it is determined whether or not the coin 41 (item) has been acquired.

The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 of FIG. 1, and specifically, is determined by the item lottery result of the item lottery unit 431 of the notification right lottery unit 430.
If the coin 41 (item) has been acquired as a result of the above determination, as shown in FIG. 15, the process proceeds from step S92 to the next step S93, and the number of notification rights held is the maximum number of six.
