That is, the symbol arrangement of “watermelon”, “watermelon”, and “watermelon” is a winning symbol arrangement that becomes a watermelon prize.

  In addition, when the lottery result of the part lottery means 120 is the third small part winning, the symbol arrangement of “cherry”, “ANY”, “ANY” can be arranged on any valid winning line 300, When the symbol arrangement of “cherry”, “ANY”, and “ANY” is arranged on any valid winning line 300, a cherry win is awarded and a predetermined number (for example, two) of medals are paid out. That is, the symbol arrangement of “cherry”, “ANY”, and “ANY” is a winning symbol arrangement for a cherry prize. “ANY” means that any symbol may be used. When the “Cherry” symbol attached to the left reel 41 stops on the valid winning line 300, the cherry will be awarded regardless of the stop position of the symbols attached to the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43. Medals will be paid out. If the number of inserted medals is 3, and the stop position of the symbol “cherry” is the upper or lower level of the symbol display window 26, four medals are paid out.

In addition, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the winning of replay, the symbol arrangement of “R”, “R”, and “R” can be aligned on any valid winning line 300. When the “R”, “R”, and “R” symbol arrays are aligned on the valid winning line 300, a replay winning is achieved, and the game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without newly inserting medals. . That is, replay can be executed. The symbol arrangement of “R”, “R”, and “R” is a winning symbol arrangement for a replay winning.
Further, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is lost, it is impossible to align any winning symbol arrangement on any valid winning line 300.

Regardless of the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120, if no winning symbol arrangement is arranged on any valid winning line 300, there is no winning.
(Bonus control means 112)
The bonus control means 112 is for controlling the first bonus game, the second bonus game, and the third bonus game as bonus games.
First, the first bonus game will be described.
When the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 is the first bonus winning, the first bonus winning flag is set, the first bonus winning state is set, and the stop control means 140 can win the first bonus winning. Then, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. In other words, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the first bonus winning, the stop control means 140 selects the stop table 130 corresponding to the first bonus winning, and based on the stop table 130, the rotation reel 40 Perform stop control. At this time, the winning symbol arrangement of “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7” can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and other than “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7”. The winning symbol arrangements are not aligned on any valid winning line 300. Then, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped, if the winning symbol arrays of “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7” are aligned on any valid winning line 300, the first The bonus is won, the first bonus game flag is set, and the process proceeds to the first bonus game. That is, the starting condition of the first bonus game is that the winning symbol arrays of “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7” are aligned on any valid winning line 300. Further, when the first bonus winning is awarded, the first bonus winning flag is cleared and the first bonus internal winning state ends. On the other hand, if all the three reels 40 are stopped rotating and there is no “Red 7,” “Red 7,” or “Red 7” winning symbol array on any of the valid winning lines 300, a winning will occur. Although it becomes none, the first bonus winning flag is not cleared, and the first bonus internal hit state continues. The first bonus winning flag remains set without being cleared until the first bonus winning is awarded. That is, the internal state of the first bonus continues until the first bonus winning is awarded. As described above, once the first bonus is won by the lottery of the role lottery means 120, a state in which a state where the winning can be won is carried over until a winning corresponding to the winning is awarded is carried over. That is, the first bonus is a carryover combination.

In the first bonus game, a “general game during bonus” and a “JAC game” are performed.
When shifting to the first bonus game, first, “general game during bonus” is performed.
In addition, in the “general game during bonus”, as in the general game, a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing one of a plurality of roles is performed, and the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped. At this time, it is determined whether or not there is a winning depending on whether or not any winning symbol array is aligned on any valid winning line 300.
In the “general game during bonus”, when the symbol arrangement “R”, “R”, and “R” is aligned on any valid pay line 300, a JAC win is awarded. Move to “Game”.

In the “JAC game”, as a result of the lottery by the lottery means 120, the probability of winning any one of the winnings is higher than in the general game, and the winning lottery means 120 is placed on any valid winning line 300. When a predetermined symbol array corresponding to the lottery result is prepared, a game that becomes a prize is performed.
In addition, during the “JAC game”, a game can be played up to 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 winnings are possible. That is, if a game is played 12 times or there are 8 winnings in the “JAC game”, the “JAC game” ends. In other words, the ending condition for the “JAC game” is that a game has been played 12 times or a prize has been won 8 times during the JAC game.

Further, when the “JAC game” is finished, the game proceeds to “general game during bonus” unless the conditions for ending the “first bonus game” are satisfied. ”.
In other words, when a transition is made from a general game to the first bonus game, first, the first “general game during bonus” is performed. Further, when a JAC prize is awarded in the first “general bonus game”, the game proceeds to the first “JAC game”. When the first “JAC game” is completed, the process proceeds to the second “general game during bonus” unless the condition for ending the “first bonus game” is satisfied. The same applies thereafter. As described above, during the “first bonus game”, the “bonus general game” and the “JAC game” are repeatedly performed unless the end condition of the “first bonus game” is satisfied.

When the number of medals paid out in the “first bonus game” reaches a predetermined number (for example, 465), the first bonus game flag is cleared and the first bonus game ends. That is, the end condition of the first bonus game is that the number of medals paid out during the first bonus game has reached a predetermined number (for example, 465). Even if one “JAC game” is being executed, if the end condition of the first bonus game is satisfied, the “JAC game” in the middle of the execution is ended, and the first bonus game is also ended. Return to.
Next, the second bonus game will be described.
When the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the second bonus winning, the second bonus winning flag is set and the second bonus internal winning state is set, and the stop control means 140 can be used to win the second bonus prize. Then, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. At this time, the winning symbol arrangements of “blue 7”, “blue 7”, and “blue 7” can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and other than “blue 7”, “blue 7”, and “blue 7”. The winning symbol arrangements are not aligned on any valid winning line 300. Then, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped, if the winning symbol arrangements of “blue 7”, “blue 7”, and “blue 7” are aligned on any valid winning line 300, the second A bonus win is awarded, the second bonus game flag is set, and the process proceeds to the second bonus game. Further, when the second bonus winning is awarded, the second bonus winning flag is cleared, and the second bonus internal winning state is ended. On the other hand, when all three reels 40 are stopped rotating, the winning pattern arrangement of “Blue 7”, “Blue 7”, and “Blue 7” will not be aligned on any valid winning line 300. Although it becomes none, the second bonus winning flag is not cleared and the second bonus internal hit state continues. The second bonus winning flag remains set without being cleared until the second bonus winning is awarded. As described above, once the second bonus is won by the lottery of the winning lottery means 120, a state in which a state in which the winning can be won is carried over until a winning corresponding to the winning is awarded is carried over. That is, the second bonus is a carryover combination.

The second bonus game is the same as the first bonus game except that the number of medals to be paid out is different (for example, 390).
Next, the third bonus game will be described.
When the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the third bonus winning, the third bonus winning flag is set and the third bonus internal winning state is set, and the stop control means 140 can win the third bonus winning. Then, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. At this time, the winning symbol arrangement of “yellow 7”, “yellow 7”, and “yellow 7” can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and other than “yellow 7” “yellow 7” “yellow 7” The winning symbol arrangements are not aligned on any valid winning line 300. Then, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped, if the winning symbol arrays of “yellow 7”, “yellow 7”, and “yellow 7” are aligned on any valid winning line 300, the third A bonus is awarded, the third bonus game flag is set, and the process proceeds to the third bonus game. Further, when the third bonus winning is awarded, the third bonus winning flag is cleared and the third bonus internal winning state ends. On the other hand, if all three spinning reels 40 stop rotating and the winning symbol arrays “Yellow 7”, “Yellow 7” and “Yellow 7” are not aligned on any of the effective winning lines 300, a winning will occur. Although it becomes none, the third bonus winning flag is not cleared and the third bonus internal hit state continues. The third bonus winning flag remains set without being cleared until the third bonus winning is awarded. As described above, once the third bonus is won by the lottery of the role lottery means 120, a state in which a state in which the winning can be won is carried over until a winning corresponding to the winning is awarded is carried over. That is, the third bonus is a carryover combination.

Further, the third bonus game is the same as the first bonus game except that the number of medals to be paid out is different (for example, 350).
The bonus winning means the first bonus winning, the second bonus winning, and the third bonus winning.
Further, the bonus winning means a first bonus winning, a second bonus winning, and a third bonus winning.
The bonus winning flag means a first bonus winning flag, a second bonus winning flag, and a third bonus winning flag.

The internal hit state means a first bonus internal hit state, a second bonus internal hit state, and a third bonus internal hit state.
In addition, the normal state means a time when the internal hit state is not reached.
(Role lottery means 120)
The role lottery means 120 is for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing one of a plurality of roles.
Also, the role lottery means 120 performs the role lottery while the first bonus winning flag, the second bonus winning flag, and the third bonus winning flag are carried over. During this time, the first bonus winning, Neither the 2 bonus winning nor the 3rd bonus winning will be allocated.

The role lottery means 120 includes a role lottery random number generation means, a role lottery random number extraction means, a role lottery table, a table selection means, and a role lottery determination means.
The lottery random number generating means is for generating a random number for the role lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal number).
In addition, the role lottery random number generating means can be constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts a clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number).
Further, the random number generating means for winning lottery can be constituted by, for example, means for generating a random number by the average taking method, or means for generating a random number by adding prime numbers. Also, these means can be configured by causing a CPU to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random number), for example.

The lottery random number extracting means is for extracting the random number generated by the role lottery random number generating means at a predetermined opportunity (for example, operation of the start switch 50).
The role lottery random number generating means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, and the numerical value generated by the role lottery random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 50 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extracting means for winning lottery can be handled substantially as a random number.
In addition, the combination lottery table predefines whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the combination lottery random number generation means is to be selected or lost for any of a plurality of combinations.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the role lottery table, the general character lottery table used when the game is in a general game and none of the bonus winning flags are carried over (that is, not in the internal winning state) A bonus internal winning lottery table used when a bonus winning flag is carried over during a game (that is, when the internal winning state is in effect), and a bonus medium winning combination used during a bonus general game A lottery table and a JAC game middle role lottery table used during the JAC game are provided.
Further, the general combination lottery table shows whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the combination lottery random number generation means is selected as the first bonus winning, the second bonus winning, the third bonus winning, It is determined in advance whether to win a small role, to win a second small role, to win a third small role, to win a replay, or to lose.

Further, the bonus internal winning combination lottery table shows whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the random number generating means for the lottery selection is the first small combination winning, the second small combination winning, the third small combination winning Whether to win, replay, or lose.
Further, the bonus medium-use role lottery table defines the JACIN winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, and the lose at predetermined ratios as the lottery results. .
Further, the JAC game mid-use winning lottery table defines JAC winning and lost as a lottery result at predetermined ratios.

The table selection means is for selecting one combination lottery table from a plurality of combination lottery tables. The table selection means selects the general role lottery table when the game is in a general game and no bonus winning flag is carried over (that is, when the internal winning state is not in effect), and the table selection means When one of the bonus winning flags is carried over (that is, when the internal winning state), the bonus internal winning lottery table is selected, and during the bonus general game, the bonus medium winning combination is selected. A lottery table is selected, and during a JAC game, a JAC game mid-use lottery table is selected.
In addition, the lottery determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit for combination lottery with the combination lottery table selected by the table selection unit, and determines whether one of the plurality of combinations is won or lost. Is for doing.

  In the present embodiment, the combination lottery determination unit compares the random number extracted by the combination lottery random number extraction unit with the combination lottery table selected by the table selection unit, and determines whether the first bonus is won or the second bonus is won. , Whether it is the third bonus winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, the replay winning, or the lose (whether any bonus in the general game) When the winning flag is carried over, it is determined whether it is the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, the replay winning or the lost, In addition, if it is during a bonus general game, it is determined whether it is a JACIN win, a 1st small role win, a 2nd small role win, a 3rd small role win, or a loss, and during a JAC game If there is a JAC winner or Perform the displacement of the judgment).

Note that “JACIN winning” means winning related to the transition to the JAC game. The bonus lottery result during the bonus general game results in JACIN winning. At this time, if any of the valid winning lines 300 has the “R”, “R”, and “R” symbol arrangements, the game transitions to the JAC game. Such a winning is “JACIN winning”, and a transition is made from a general game during bonus to a JAC game.
The “JAC winning” is one of the lottery results in the JAC game and refers to winning related to paying out a predetermined number of medals. The result of the winning lottery in the JAC game is JAC winning. At this time, if the symbol arrangement of “R”, “R”, and “R” is arranged on any valid winning line 300, the predetermined number of medals will be paid out. A “JAC prize” is obtained, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

(Stop table 130)
The stop table 130 is for determining the stop position of each rotary reel 40, and the slide of each rotary reel 40 according to the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. The number of frames is predetermined.
Further, the “number of sliding frames” refers to the number of proper stop positions that pass from the operation of the stop switch 60 until the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 stops at any appropriate stop position.
For example, when the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60, the appropriate pass that has passed between the operation of the stop switch 60 and the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped. Since the number of stop positions is “0”, the number of sliding frames is “0”.

In addition, when the rotation of the corresponding reel 40 stops after the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next proper stop position is stopped, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is started from the operation of the stop switch 60. Since the number of appropriate stop positions that have passed before the stop is “1”, the number of sliding symbols is “1”.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of stop tables 130 are provided corresponding to the lottery results of the combination lottery means 120 and the like.
Further, in the present embodiment, each stop table 130 defines the number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 within a range of 0 or more and 4 or less.

Also, the stop table 130 corresponding to any of the winning combinations is such that the winning symbol arrangement corresponding to the winning combination can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and for any winning symbol arrangement other than that winning combination. The number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that it is not aligned on the effective winning line 300.
Specifically, for example, in the stop table 130 corresponding to the “first bonus prize”, the winning symbol arrays “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7” can be aligned on any valid winning line 300. In addition, the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that winning symbols other than “Red 7”, “Red 7”, and “Red 7” are not aligned on any effective winning line 300. Yes. As a result, the stop table 130 corresponding to the “first bonus award” is configured so as to be able to win the first bonus prize and not to be able to win a prize other than the first bonus prize. The same applies to each stop table 130 corresponding to “second bonus prize”, “third bonus prize”, “first small role prize”, “second small role prize”, “third small role prize”, and “Replay prize”. .

In addition, the stop table 130 corresponding to “no winning” determines the number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 so that no winning symbol arrangement is arranged on any valid winning line 300.
(Stop control means 140)
The stop control means 140 is for performing stop control of each rotary reel 40.
Moreover, the stop control means 140 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated.

Further, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed as follows.
First, one stop table 130 is selected from a plurality of stop tables 130 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 and the like.
Specifically, for example, when the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 is “first small combination winning”, the stop table 130 corresponding to “first small combination winning” is selected.
Next, from the selected one stop table 130 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated, the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 is determined.

Here, when the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “0”, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated appears to move to the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 with little movement after the operation of the stop switch 60.
When the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “1”, the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 is passed, and the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the next proper stop position. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated moves so as to slide one frame in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It seems to stop in the middle of window 26.

If the number of sliding frames is determined to be “2”, it passes through the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next appropriate stop position, and corresponds at the third appropriate stop position. The rotation of the rotary reel 40 stops. At this time, when the stop switch 60 is operated, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 moves so as to slide two frames in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It appears to stop at the bottom of window 26.
Here, as described above, in the present embodiment, the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 120 is performed while any bonus winning flag is carried over, that is, in the internal hit state. For example, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is, for example, the first small winning combination while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 causes any valid winning line. Stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed so that either the first bonus winning symbol arrangement or the first small role winning symbol arrangement can be arranged on 300. That is, the stop control means 140 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 so as to be able to win either the first bonus winning or the first small winning combination. More specifically, the stop control means 140 selects either the stop table 130 corresponding to the first bonus winning or the stop table 130 corresponding to the first small winning combination, and then selects one of the selected ones. Based on one stop table 130 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated, the number of sliding symbols of each rotating reel 40 is determined, and the number of sliding symbols determined is determined to rotate. Then, the rotation of each rotary reel 40 is stopped.

In addition, for selection of which winning symbol arrangement can be aligned (which winning winning can be assigned, more specifically, which stop table 130 is used), the present embodiment Then, the stop control means 140 selects the winning one according to the operation timing of the stop switch 60 operated first.
In other words, when stopping the rotation of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 60 that is operated first, it is included in a pattern that can be drawn on any effective winning line 300 within the range of the number of sliding frames of 4 frames. If there is a symbol “red 7” corresponding to the first bonus winning, the stop table 130 corresponding to the first bonus winning is selected so that the first bonus winning symbol arrangement can be aligned, If there is a “bell” symbol corresponding to the small winning combination, the stop table 130 corresponding to the first small winning combination is selected so that the first small winning combination can be aligned. While the first bonus winning flag, the second bonus winning flag, or the third bonus winning flag is carried over, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is the first small winning combination, the second small winning combination, or the third small winning combination. The same applies to the case where a role is won.

In addition, for example, if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is a winning for Replay while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 depends on the operation timing of the stop switch 60 operated first. Instead, the priority is given to Replay, and stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed so that only the Replay winning symbol arrangement can be arranged.
In other words, if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 becomes a Replay winning while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 does not depend on the operation timing of the stop switch 60 operated first. The stop table 130 corresponding to the Replay winning is always selected, and then, the stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed based on the stopping table 130 corresponding to the Replay winning so that the Replay winning can be assigned. The same applies to the case where the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 becomes a Replay winning while the second bonus winning flag or the third bonus winning flag is carried over.

Also, for example, if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is lost while the first bonus winning flag is carried over, in the game, the stop control means 140 is placed on any valid winning line 300 on the first bonus line 300. Stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed so that the winning symbol arrangement can be aligned. That is, the stop control means 140 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 so that the first bonus winning can be won. The same applies to the case where the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 is lost while the second bonus winning flag or the third bonus winning flag is carried over.
Note that the stop control of the rotary reel 40 as described above is a control using the stop table 130, and is therefore called “table control” or the like.

(Winning determination means 150)
The winning determination means 150 determines whether or not a winning combination has been won or not based on the arrangement of symbols on each winning line 300 when the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 has stopped. belongs to.
In addition, the winning determination means 150, when all the spinning reels 40 stop rotating, if any winning symbol array is aligned on any valid winning line 300, the winning combination corresponding to the winning symbol array. It is determined that has won a prize.
Specifically, the winning determination means 150 displays the symbol arrangement of “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7” on any valid winning line 300 when the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 is stopped. When they are aligned, it is determined as “first bonus prize”.

Further, the winning determination means 150, when the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 is stopped, when the symbol arrangement of “blue 7”, “blue 7”, and “blue 7” is aligned on any valid winning line 300, It is determined as “second bonus prize”.
Further, the winning determination means 150, when the rotation of all the reels 40 stops, when the symbol arrangement of “yellow 7” “yellow 7” “yellow 7” is aligned on any valid winning line 300, It is determined that “third bonus winning”.
In addition, the winning determination means 150 determines that “first”, “bell” and “bell” symbols are arranged on any valid winning line 300 when rotation of all the reels 40 stops. It is determined as “small role winning”.

Also, the winning determination means 150, when the rotation of all the rotating reels 40 is stopped, when the symbol arrangement of “watermelon” “watermelon” “watermelon” is aligned on any valid winning line 300, It is determined as “small role winning”.
Further, the winning determination means 150, when the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 is stopped, when the symbol arrangement of “cherry”, “ANY”, “ANY” is aligned on any effective winning line 300, “third” It is determined as “small role winning”.
In addition, the winning determination means 150 determines that when all the reels 40 have stopped rotating and the “R”, “R”, and “R” symbol arrays are aligned on any valid winning line 300, the “Replay winning award” Is determined.

Further, the winning determination means 150 determines “no winning” if any winning symbol arrangement is not arranged on any valid winning line 300 when the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 is stopped.
(First signal transmission means 155)
The first signal transmission means 155 is provided in the main control device 101.
When the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 120, the first signal transmitting means 155 transmits a lottery process command from the main control device 101 to the sub control device 102. Further, the lottery process command is a command indicating that the lottery has been performed and the result of the lottery. When the first signal transmission unit 155 transmits a lottery process command from the main control device 101 to the sub-control device 102, the sub-control device 102 can recognize that the winning lottery has been performed and the result of the winning lottery.

When any one of the stop switches 60 is operated, the first signal transmission unit 155 transmits a stop switch operation command from the main control device 101 to the sub control device 102. The stop switch operation command is a command indicating that any one of the stop switches 60 has been operated. When the first signal transmission means 155 transmits a stop switch operation command from the main control device 101 to the sub control device 102, the sub control device 102 can recognize that any one of the stop switches 60 has been operated.
(First type specific display determining means 160)
Here, the “specific display” is predetermined and n types (n ≧ 4) are determined. “N” is a positive integer of 4 or more. In the present embodiment, six types of specific display of “red”, “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, “white”, and “black” are predetermined. That is, in this embodiment, n = 6.

Each of the six types of specific indications corresponds to one of the lottery results of the combination lottery means 120. In the present embodiment, “red” corresponds to the first small role winning, “blue” corresponds to the second small role winning, and “yellow” corresponds to the first small role winning. “Green” corresponds to any of the first small role winning, the second small role winning, and the third small role winning, and “white” "Corresponds to the replay winning, and" black "corresponds to any of the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, the replay winning, and the loss. Has been.
The first type specific display determining means 160 is provided in the sub-control device 102.

The first type specific display determining means 160 is for selecting one specific display corresponding to the lottery result of the role lottery means 120 as the first type specific display from the six types of specific displays.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first type specific display determination unit 160 includes a first type specific display determination random number generation unit, a first type specific display determination random number extraction unit, and an effect determination lottery table.
