The main board 10 receives input signals from input means such as the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, and the stop switch 240, and performs various calculations for executing the game, and based on the calculation results. Operation control of output means such as the reel unit 310 and the hopper unit 320 is performed. In addition, the sub-board 20 receives signals sent from the main board 10 and performs various calculations for executing effects in accordance with the progress of the game. Based on the calculation results, the sub-board 20 and the audio device Operation control of output means such as 340 is performed. The functions of each board such as the main board 10 and the sub board 20 are various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, ROM This is realized by software composed of a given program stored in advance.

  The main board 10 includes an insertion receiving means 105, a random number generating means 110, an internal lottery means 120, a reel control means 130, a winning determination means 140, a payout control means 150, a replay processing means 160, a gaming state. It includes a transition control means 170 (lottery state transition control means), a replay probability variation means 172 (lottery state transition control means), a communication control means 174, and a main memory 190M.

  The insertion accepting means 105 accepts the insertion of medals for each game, and permits the game start operation to the start lever (game start operation means) SL based on the insertion of three medals corresponding to the prescribed number of insertions. Perform the process. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the pressing operation of the start lever SL is an opportunity to start the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 and an opportunity to execute the internal lottery.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI, the insertion accepting unit 105 has a prescribed insertion number 3 according to the gaming state as the medal insertion switch 210 is activated. The inserted medals are set to the inserted state up to the maximum number. When medals exceeding the prescribed number of medals are inserted into the medal slot MI, medals exceeding the three medals are stored as credit medals in a credit storage area (not shown) of the main memory 190M. The Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the bet button B0 is pressed in a state where medals are credited to the gaming machine, the betting switch 220 is activated, so that the loading accepting means 105 has a predetermined number of throwing. The credited medals are set to the inserted state up to a certain number of three.

  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 a numerical value 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 the winning combination is based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a player pressing a start lever (game 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 191M of the main memory 190M. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, seven types of internal lottery tables A to G as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191M. In each internal lottery table, replay (replay A, replay B, replay C, replay D, replay E, replay F, replay F, for each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535), Replay G, Replay H), small roles (bell, watermelon A, watermelon B, watermelon C, watermelon D, special small role A, special small role B), and big bonus (BB) are associated with each other. ing.

  And in the gaming machine of this embodiment, replay A, replay B, replay C, replay D, replay E, replay F, replay G, and replay H are prepared as replays. In the internal lottery table A, replay A, When replay B and replay C are won in duplicate, when replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay D are won repeatedly, and replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay E overlap Replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay F overlap, replay A, replay B, replay C, and replay G overlap, and replay A and replay B, replay C, and replay H are duplicated and the random number value In the internal lottery table C, the replay A and the replay D are won in duplicate, the replay A, the replay D and the replay E are won in duplicate, and the replay A and the replay D. In addition, the correspondence between the combination and the random number value is set so that there is a case where the replay F is won in duplicate and a case where the replay A, replay D and replay G are won in duplicate, and the internal lottery table In D, Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are won in duplicate, Replay A, Replay C, Replay D, and Replay E are won in duplicate, Replay A, Replay C, Replay D, and Replay If F wins in duplicate, Replay A, Replay C, Replay D, and Replay G wins in duplicate, The role and disorder are such that there is a case where Ray A, Replay C, Replay D and Replay H are won in duplicate, and a case where Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, Replay D and Replay E are won simultaneously. Correspondence with numerical value is set. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a plurality of types of replays are won in a plurality of types of winning modes. In the internal lottery table B, the internal lottery table E, and the internal lottery table F, the correspondence relationship between the winning combination and the random number value is set so that there is a case where the replay E wins alone.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, bells, watermelon A, watermelon B, watermelon C, watermelon D, special small roles A, and special small roles B are prepared as small roles, and an internal lottery table A to an internal lottery table. In each of G, the bell, watermelon A, and watermelon B are won in duplicate, and the bell, watermelon C, and so on, as there are cases where the bell and two types of watermelon are won in duplicate. , And watermelon D won in duplicate, bell, watermelon A, and watermelon D won in duplicate, bell, watermelon B, and watermelon C won in duplicate, bell, watermelon Correspondence between the combination and the random number value is set so that there are a case where A and watermelon C are won in duplicate and a case where bell, watermelon B and watermelon D are won in duplicate.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the replay time state A to the replay time state E, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the game state (internal lottery state). In the lottery table selection process, the game state Accordingly, one of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G is selected as the internal lottery table used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random number 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 191M of the main memory 190M for the acquired random 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 flag storage unit 192M of the main memory 190M.

  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. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a big bonus, 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 a big bonus is won by internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the won big bonus is carried over (maintained) until the won big bonus is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery for determining whether or not a role other than the big bonus (small role and replay) is used even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus lottery flag is carried over. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus lottery flag is carried over, if a role other than the big bonus is won in the internal lottery, the lottery flag of the already won big bonus and the internal A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a lottery flag of a combination other than the big bonus won in the lottery is set in a winning state.

  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 (game start operation means) SL (game start operation). A state in which the rotation speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute) by rotating by a step motor (a state in which the rotation is steady) In FIG. 1, the control unit validates (permits) the pressing operation (stop operation) of the stop buttons B1 to B3 corresponding to the rotating reels, and rotates the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are driven to rotate by the step motor. Control to stop according to the setting state of the lottery flag (internal lottery result) is performed.

  In addition, the reel control unit 130 is configured so that the player can 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) to the stop buttons (stop operation units) 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 button is pressed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed at the display position on the effective line L when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the effective line L. As described above, control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed.

  Specifically, the reel control unit 130 obtains a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process) and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193M of the main memory 190M. 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 particular, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the order of “replay (replay A to replay H)> small role (bell, watermelon A to watermelon D, special small role A, special small role B)> big bonus (BB)”. In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags regarding two or more types of winning combinations are set to the internal winning state, the role with the lower priority order is assigned according to the priority assigned to each winning combination. The priority is calculated so that the priority of the stop position candidate including the symbol constituting the winning form of the role having a higher priority than the candidate of the stop position including the symbol constituting the winning form is higher.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when multiple types of replays are won in the internal lottery, a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position for at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The priority is determined so that there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority.

  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. That is, the same priority is set for the small roles having the same number of medals paid out for winning.

  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. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, which position is set as the stop position is determined as a stop control table storage unit in the main memory 190M. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193M.

Specifically, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194M of the main memory 190M, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the valid lines L1 to L4 It is determined whether or not the symbol combination displayed in is a winning combination of a predetermined combination.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, the black 7 symbol “black 7”, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310, A white 7 symbol “white 7”, a bell symbol “BL”, a watermelon symbol A “WMA”, a watermelon symbol B “WMB”, a replay symbol “RP”, and a dummy symbol “DUM” are arranged. Then, depending on the symbol combinations displayed on the effective lines L1 to L4 in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIG. 10, a big bonus (BB), replay A, replay B, replay C, replay D, replay E, A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not there is a winning of Replay F, Replay G, Replay H, Bell, Watermelon A, Watermelon B, Watermelon C, Watermelon D, Special Small Role A, and Special Small Role B.

  That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the big bonus (BB) has been won, and the effective When the symbol combination of “BL / RP / BL” is displayed on the line, it is determined that Replay A has won, and when the symbol combination of “BL / RP / RP” is displayed on the active line, When it is determined that Replay B has won and the symbol combination “RP / RP / BL” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that Replay C has won and “Red 7 / BL / Red” is displayed on the active line. "7" or "Red 7, BL, Black 7" or "Red 7, BL, White 7" or "Black 7, BL, Red 7" or "Black 7, BL, Black 7" or "Black 7, BL, White" 7 "or" White 7, BL, Red 7 "or" White 7, BL, Black 7 " Is displayed when the symbol combination of “White 7, BL, White 7” is displayed, and it is determined that Replay D has won, and when the symbol combination of “RP, RP, RP” is displayed on the active line, When it is determined that Replay E has won and the symbol combination “RP / RP / WMA” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that Replay F has won and “RP / RP / WMB” is displayed on the active line. When the symbol combination of is displayed, it is determined that Replay G has won, and when the symbol combination of “WMA / RP / WMA” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that Replay H has won and is valid. When the symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” is displayed on the line, it is determined that the bell has won, and when the symbol combination “WMA / BL / WMA” is displayed on the active line, the watermelon A won the prize When the symbol combination “WMA / BL / WMB” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the watermelon B has won, and the symbol combination “WMB / BL / WMA” is displayed on the effective line. If it is determined that the watermelon C has won, and the symbol combination “WMB / BL / WMB” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the watermelon D has won, and “black” is displayed on the active line. When the symbol combination “7 / Black 7 / Black 7” is displayed, it is determined that the special small role A has won, and the symbol combination “White 7, White 7, White 7” is displayed on the active line. In this case, it is determined that the special small role B 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 role (bell, watermelon A to watermelon D) wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, and replay (replay A to replay H) wins. In this case, a replay process is performed by the replay processing unit 160, and when the big bonus (BB) is won, a game state transition control process for shifting the game state is performed by the game state transition control unit 170.

  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. When a plurality of types of small combinations wins, the total number of medals paid out based on the payout of each winning small combination is obtained as the number of medals paid out in the game.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when one type of small role is won in a plurality of active lines, the payout control means 150 determines the effective line that the small role has won in the payout of the winning small role. The result of multiplying the number is determined as the number of medals to be paid out in the game. Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, an upper limit is set on the number of medals paid out in one game, and specifically, nine is the upper limit on the number of medals paid out. Then, when the number of medals to be paid out for winning a small role is 9 or more, the payout control means 150 obtains the number of medals paid out in the game as 9 corresponding to the upper limit.

  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.

  When medal credits (internal storage) 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 main memory 190M (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 a replay (Replay A to Replay H) or a big bonus (BB) is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the replay (Replay A to Replay H) and the big bonus (BB) are won. Since no payout is set, medals are not paid out from the hopper unit 320, but processing (0-sheet processing) is performed in which 0 medals are paid out formally.

  When the replay (replay A to replay H) wins, the replay processing means 160 does not require insertion of a medal 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 this embodiment, when replay (Replay A to Replay H) wins, the same number of medals as the previous game are not used without the player's own 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.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state transition control means 170 (lottery state transition control means) is based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition, between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state. A game state transition control process for shifting the lottery state) is performed.

  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. In the normal state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table G shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is referred to the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E in which the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery target. A lottery will be held.

  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 replay low probability state A (first lottery state), the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A, and the replay lottery is performed in the normal state. When the state is the replay low probability state B, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B, and the replay lottery state in the normal state is the replay high probability state A (second lottery state). The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C, and when the replay lottery state is the replay high probability state B (second lottery state) in the normal state, the internal lottery table D is referred to When the lottery is performed and the lottery state of the replay is the replay high probability state C (third lottery state) in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E.

  The bonus establishment state (special lottery state) is a gaming state that shifts when a big bonus (BB) (special role) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state, and among the internal lottery tables A to G shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the winning probability of the small role is set to be the same as the normal state. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table F in which the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target is performed.

  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 active line, the game state transition control means 170 performs control to shift the game state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line in the bonus establishment state. In the bonus state, the replay lottery state is set to the non-replay lottery state, and among the internal lottery tables A to G shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the big bonus (BB) and the replay are excluded from the internal lottery targets. Then, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table G in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F. 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 by the bonus game, and a predetermined payout upper limit number (for example, 300) 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 172 (lottery state transition control means) performs control for changing the winning probability of replay in the internal lottery under a predetermined condition. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the replay lottery state includes a replay no lottery state in which the replay is excluded from the internal lottery target, a replay low probability state A in which the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 7.3, and The replay low probability state B, and a replay high probability state A, a replay high probability state B, and a replay high probability state C in which the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 1.5 can be set. As shown in FIG. 11, the replay probability changing means 172 changes the replay winning probability in the internal lottery by changing the replay lottery state (the lottery state of the combination).

  More specifically, the replay probability changing means 172 sets the replay lottery state to the replay low probability state A as the initial state, and the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A. The replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state B based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay A is displayed on the active line, and the replay B winning state, that is, the replay B winning Based on the fact that the symbol combination showing the form is displayed on the active line, the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A, and the symbol combination indicating the winning of Replay C, that is, the winning form of Replay C is the effective line. Based on the above display, the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C.

  The replay probability changing means 172 also sets the replay lottery status to the replay low probability based on the fact that the special symbol combination is displayed on the active line when the replay lottery status is set to the replay low probability state B. Set to state A.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A, the replay probability changing means 172 indicates that the symbol combination indicating the replay A winning pattern, that is, the replay A winning pattern is displayed on the active line. The replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state B, and the replay lottery state is displayed based on the replay D winning, that is, the symbol combination indicating the replay D winning form is displayed on the active line. Is set to the replay high probability state B.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state B, the replay probability changing means 172 indicates that the replay C winning combination, that is, the symbol combination indicating the replay C winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Based on the above, the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C, the replay probability changing means 172 indicates that the replay B winning combination, that is, the symbol combination indicating the replay B winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Based on the above, the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A.

  Further, when the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C, the replay probability changing means 172 indicates that the symbol combination indicating the replay A winning pattern, that is, the replay A winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Based on the above, the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state B.

  The replay probability changing means 172 indicates that the special symbol combination is displayed on the active line when the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A, the replay high probability state B, or the replay high probability state C. The replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 172 is set when the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A, the replay low probability state B, the replay high probability state A, the replay high probability state B, or the replay high probability state C. Based on the fact that the big bonus (BB) is won, the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state C.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 172 indicates that, when the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state C, the big bonus (BB) is won, that is, the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning mode is an effective line. Based on the above display, the replay lottery state is set to the replay no lottery state, and the replay lottery state is set from the replay no lottery state to the replay low probability state B when the bonus state ends.

  The communication control unit 174 performs control for transmitting a signal to the sub-board 20. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  First, when the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery, the communication control means 174 transmits the internal lottery result notification signal to the sub board 20 to perform communication control for notifying the sub board 20 of the result of the internal lottery. . Further, the communication control means 174 performs communication control for notifying the sub board 20 of the current gaming state and the current replay lottery state by transmitting a main state notification signal to the sub board 20. Further, the communication control unit 174 performs communication control for notifying the sub-board 20 of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 by transmitting a pressing-order notification signal to the sub-board 20. Further, the communication control means 174 performs communication control for notifying the sub-board 20 of whether or not the reservation flag is set in the reservation flag storage means 195M by transmitting a reservation flag notification signal to the sub-board 20. Further, the communication control unit 174 performs communication control for notifying the sub-board 20 of whether or not to execute the special drive process by transmitting a special drive process execution signal to the sub-board 20.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, based on various notification signals transmitted from the main board 10, the effect control means 180 of the sub board 20 responds to the result of the internal lottery, the gaming state, the replay lottery state, and the like. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform the effects.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include the effect control means 180 and the sub memory 190S.

  The effect control means 180 causes the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) to execute a display effect based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 191S of the sub memory 190S, or the audio device 340 (the effect device's). In one example), the sound production is 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 a gaming state, or a display on a liquid crystal display LCD By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, control is performed to increase the game or to produce an effect to assist the game.

  Further, the effect control means 180 changes the effect state among a plurality of kinds of effect states, and sets the AT flag in the effect flag storage means 192S of the sub memory 190S under a predetermined condition, thereby changing the effect state to the assist time. Control is performed to end the AT state by setting the state (AT state, special effect state) and clearing the AT flag when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied. In the production control means 180, the production state is set to the AT state, and the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A, the replay high probability state A, the replay high probability state B, or the replay high probability state C. In such a case, a display device that assists in winning a winning combination (displaying a combination of symbols indicating a winning form of the winning combination on an effective line) in a game in which a predetermined combination of a plurality of types is won is displayed. 330 and the sound apparatus 340 are controlled. Here, the auxiliary effect can be an effect of various modes. For example, an effect image notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the winning combination is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or a prize is awarded. A sound for notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the winning combination can be output from the speaker SP.

  In detail, when the special small role A is won by the internal lottery in the bonus state, the effect control means 180 sets the AT flag in the effect flag storage means 192S, and the first AT end determination counter 193S (specific counter) of the sub memory 190S. Add 5 to.

  Then, in the game in which the replay lottery state is the replay high probability state A, and the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won in succession is set, the effect control means 180 has the AT flag set and the first AT end determination counter 193S If the value is not 0, an auxiliary effect A is executed to notify the player of the first specific order corresponding to the winning aspect of replay. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in a game in which Replay A and Replay D are won in duplicate, the player is notified that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of “B2 → B1 → B3”. The effect is executed as auxiliary effect A. Then, when the auxiliary effect A is executed, the effect control means 180 subtracts 1 from the first AT end determination counter 193S.

  On the other hand, when the AT flag is set but the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S is 0, the effect control means 180 notifies the player of the second specific order corresponding to the winning aspect of the replay. Auxiliary effect B is executed. For example, in a game in which Replay A and Replay D are selected in duplicate, an effect that informs the player that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of “B2 → B3 → B1” is executed as the auxiliary effect B. .

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is the replay high probability state B, the effect control means 180 performs a special drive process in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won and the first AT end determination counter If the value of 193S is not 0, an auxiliary effect A is executed for notifying the player of the first specific order corresponding to the winning aspect of the replay. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, in a game in which Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are selected in duplicate, the player must press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order of “B1 → B2 → B3”. The effect to notify is executed as auxiliary effect A. Then, when the auxiliary effect A is executed, the effect control means 180 subtracts 1 from the first AT end determination counter 193S.

  On the other hand, when the special driving process is executed but the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S is 0, the effect control means 180 notifies the player of the second specific order according to the winning aspect of the replay. Auxiliary effect B is executed. For example, in a game in which Replay A, Replay C, and Replay D are won in duplicate, an effect that informs the player that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of “B1 → B3 → B2” is an auxiliary effect B. Run as.

  In detail, the effect control means 180 selects the auxiliary effect A or the auxiliary effect B when the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S is 0 although the special drive process has been executed. Perform a specific lottery. In this specific lottery, the probability that the auxiliary effect A is selected is set to 1/10, and the probability that the auxiliary effect B is selected is set to 9/10. Therefore, when the special drive process is executed but the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S has reached 0, the auxiliary effect B is executed with a probability of 9/10, and the auxiliary effect A with a probability of 1/10. Is executed.

  In addition, when the replay D wins, that is, when the symbol combination (specific symbol combination) indicating the winning pattern of the replay D is displayed on the active line, the effect control means 180 sets 10 to the second AT end determination counter 194S of the sub memory 190S. Add (grant a privilege).

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is the replay high probability state B, the effect control means 180 does not execute the special drive process in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won and the first AT end determination is made. When the value of the counter 193S is 0, an auxiliary effect C is provided to notify the player of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay C. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, in a game in which replay A, replay C, and replay D are won in duplicate, an effect that informs the player that the stop button B2 is pressed first is executed as the auxiliary effect C. .

  In the game where the lottery state of replay is the replay high probability state A, the replay high probability state B, or the replay high probability state C, the play control means 180 has an AT flag in a game in which a plurality of types of small roles are won. If set, an auxiliary effect D (third auxiliary effect) for notifying the player of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the bell is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in the game in which the bell, watermelon A, and watermelon B are won in duplicate, an effect that informs the player that the stop button B1 is pressed first is executed as the auxiliary effect D. .

  Further, when the replay lottery state is the replay high probability state C and the AT flag is set, the effect control means 180 increments 1 from the second AT end determination counter 194S every time the start lever SL is pressed. When the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S becomes 0, the AT state is ended by clearing the AT flag.

  That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the game section in which the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B, the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S increases each time the replay D wins. In the game section in which the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C, there are a plurality of types until the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S becomes zero. This is an advantageous game section in that an auxiliary effect D for informing the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, which can win a bell in a game in which a small role is repeatedly won, is executed.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is the replay high probability state C and the AT flag is set, the effect control means 180, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the specific flag in the sub memory 190S. A specific flag is set in the storage unit 195S. Here, the effect control means 180 maintains the setting state of the AT flag and the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S even when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery with the AT flag set. To do.

  Then, in the game (specific game) in which a plurality of types of replays are won when the replay lottery state is the replay low probability state A, the effect control means 180 has an AT flag set and the specific flag is If set, an auxiliary effect E (second auxiliary effect) for notifying the player of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay C is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, in a game in which Replay A, Replay B, and Replay C are selected and won, an effect that informs the player that the stop button B3 is pressed first is executed as the auxiliary effect E. To do. On the other hand, if the AT flag is set, but the specific flag is not set, the auxiliary effect F (the first effect) that notifies the player of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay B. Auxiliary production) is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, in a game in which Replay A, Replay B, and Replay C are won in duplicate, an effect that informs the player that the stop button B2 is pressed first is executed as an auxiliary effect F. To do.

  The effect control means 180 clears the specific flag when the replay C wins, that is, when the symbol combination indicating the replay C winning pattern is displayed on the active line.

  Note that the functions of this embodiment can be virtually realized by a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the main board 10 or the sub board 20 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD or a Web server on the Internet via the network, the function is achieved. Can be realized. 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 Method of this Embodiment Hereinafter, the control method of this embodiment will be described. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the special small role A is won in the internal lottery in the bonus state that has been shifted for the first time after the gaming machine is set to the initial state, the AT flag is set and the first AT end determination counter 193S is set. “5” is added. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the bonus state ends, the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A via the replay low probability state B, and a plurality of types of replays are performed in the internal lottery in the replay low probability state A. If overlapping is won, an auxiliary effect image E notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay B is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image E, the replay B wins and the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A. And if a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state A, the replay D can be won and an auxiliary effect image for informing the first specific order in which the special driving process reservation flag is set. A is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Then, “1” is subtracted from the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S.

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image A, the replay D wins, "10" is added to the second AT end determination counter 194S, and reservation is made in the reservation flag storage means 195M. The flag is set, and the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state B. Then, a special drive process is executed in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B, and the auxiliary effect image A is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the first AT end determination counter 193S. “1” is subtracted from the value of.

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image A, the replay D is won, "10" is further added to the second AT end determination counter 194S, and the reservation flag is set. . When a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B, a special drive process is executed, and an auxiliary effect image A is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. From the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S “1” is subtracted.

  That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in a game in which multiple types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the first specific order. In such a case, the replay D is won in the game, and then in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery, the special drive process is executed and the first specific order is notified. A is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Therefore, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, if the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order according to the auxiliary effect image A, the auxiliary effect image A is repeatedly displayed and the second AT end determination counter 194S is displayed each time. The value can be increased.

  When the auxiliary effect image A is displayed in five games, the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S reaches zero. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image A displayed for the fifth time, the reservation flag is set, but the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S has reached 0. In the state, if multiple types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B, the special drive process is executed, but the auxiliary effect image A is not displayed. In this case, in place of the auxiliary effect image A, an auxiliary effect image B for informing the second specific order in which the play D can be won but the special driving process reservation flag is not set is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. The

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image B, the replay D wins and “10” is added to the second AT end determination counter 194S, but the reservation flag is not set. Then, even if multiple types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B, the special driving process is not executed, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay C is notified. The auxiliary effect image C is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image C, the replay C wins and the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C. When a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state C, an auxiliary effect image D for notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win a bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Is done.

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image D, the bell wins and nine medals are paid out. In the high replay probability state C, “1” is subtracted from the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S every time the start lever SL is pressed. When the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S reaches 0, the auxiliary effect image D is not displayed even if a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state C. The special symbol combination is displayed on the active line in accordance with the pressing order and the pressing timing of B3, whereby the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A.

  That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the second specific order in a game in which a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B, In the game, replay D wins, but in a game where a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery, the special effect processing is not executed and the auxiliary effect image C is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Therefore, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, if the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order according to the auxiliary effect image C, many medals can be obtained in the replay high probability state C.

  As described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in the game in which the special driving process is executed, the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay D is notified, so that the special driving process is executed. It is possible to effectively increase the player's sense of expectation that the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S is increased. Further, by executing the special driving process, the player can secure time for notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay D before the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3. be able to. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S becomes 0, the player is caused to press the stop buttons B1 to B3 so that the special driving process is not executed. It is possible to prevent the value of the 2AT end determination counter 194S from increasing.

  Here, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the game in which the auxiliary effect image B or the auxiliary effect image C is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in the replay high probability state B, the auxiliary effect image B or the auxiliary effect image C is not followed. Even if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in one specific order, the replay D wins, "10" is added to the second AT end determination counter 194S, and the reservation flag is set. When a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B with the reservation flag set, a special drive process is executed, and the auxiliary effect image B is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Therefore, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S may increase when the replay D wins against the intention of the designer.

  However, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order not following the auxiliary effect image in the replay high probability state B, the replay lottery state is changed to the replay high probability state A to replay A. In some cases, the player may fall into a replay low probability state B, which is more disadvantageous than the replay high probability state C. Thereby, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the player can press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order according to the auxiliary effect image, and the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S is not excessively increased. .

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the replay low probability state A, the AT flag is not set, so that the replay B can be won even if the auxiliary effect image E is not displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the replay B may win and the replay lottery state may be set to the replay high probability state A. However, in such a case, since the auxiliary effect image A or the auxiliary effect image B is not displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in the replay high probability state A, the replay lottery state is disadvantageous for the player when the replay A wins. It falls to the low probability state B.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the internal lottery table E shown in FIG. 3, the correspondence between the combination and the random number value is set so that the replay B may be won in the internal lottery with a probability of 1/30. Yes. Accordingly, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state A when the replay B wins even in the replay high probability state D, and the replay high probability state In the A and replay high probability state B, the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S can be increased.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the special drive process is executed in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state B, but the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S is 0. Is reached, a specific lottery for selecting which of the auxiliary effect image A and the auxiliary effect image B is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed. In the specific lottery, the auxiliary effect image B is selected with a probability of 9/10. However, since the auxiliary effect image A is selected with a probability of 1/10, when the auxiliary effect image A is selected, the replay is performed. The special driving process is also executed in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won next in the internal lottery in the high probability state B, and the player is given an opportunity to increase the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state C with the AT flag set, the specific flag storage means 195S of the sub memory 190S is specified. A flag is set. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the bonus state ends, the replay lottery state is set to the replay low probability state A via the replay low probability state B, and a plurality of types of replays are performed in the internal lottery in the replay low probability state A. If overlapping is won, an auxiliary effect image F informing the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay C is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order according to the auxiliary effect image F, the replay C wins and the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C. When Replay C wins, the specific flag is cleared.

  That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when multiple types of replay are won in the internal lottery in the replay low probability state A, it is checked whether or not the specific flag is set in the specific flag storage unit 195S. Is set on the liquid crystal display LCD for notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay C, and the specific flag is not set. The auxiliary effect image E for notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay B is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  As a result, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the replay high probability state C and the state in which the AT flag is set is interrupted by winning the big bonus (BB), when the bonus state ends, the replay high The replay lottery state is restored to the probability state C and the AT flag is set, and the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B and the AT flag is set is the big bonus (BB When the bonus state is terminated, the replay lottery state is returned to the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B in which the AT flag is set. Replay lottery status can be induced.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, even if the replay high probability state C and the state where the AT flag is set is interrupted by the big bonus (BB) winning, the replay high probability state A and the replay The game in the high-probability state B can be resumed quickly without playing the game in the high-probability state B, and the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S can be prevented from being excessively increased. . As a result, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the replay high probability state A and the replay high probability state B are given the gameability of increasing the value of the second AT end determination counter 194S. The degree of freedom in designing the gameability in the state B can be increased. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, even when the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B and the state where the AT flag is set is interrupted by the big bonus (BB) winning, An opportunity to increase the value of the 2AT end determination counter 194S can be prevented from being lost.

4). 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.

  For example, in the above embodiment, as the delay process, the period from when the start lever SL is pressed to when the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 start to rotate is different from the normal time, so the progress of the game is delayed. As an example of the delay process, the period from the start of rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 until the rotation speed reaches a predetermined speed, The period from when the rotational speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reaches a predetermined speed until the pressing operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated, or the stop button that is last pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3 Since the period from when the button is pressed until the medal insertion acceptance is validated is different from the normal time, the progress of the game may be delayed. Here, as a delay process, the progress of the game is delayed because the period from when the stop button is pressed last among the stop buttons B1 to B3 until the medal insertion acceptance is validated is different from the normal time. In such a case, delay processing may be performed in a game in which the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the first specific order.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment gave and demonstrated the example which displays on the liquid crystal display LCD the auxiliary | assistant effect image which alert | reports the pressing order of stop button B1-B3 which can win a predetermined replay as an auxiliary | assistant effect, As an effect, an auxiliary effect image notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win a predetermined small role is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on an effective line. An auxiliary effect image for informing the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  In the above embodiment, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S reaches “0” in the replay high probability state B, the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the replay C is notified. When the auxiliary effect image C is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order not following the auxiliary effect image C, the replay lottery state is disadvantageous to the player because Replay A wins. In the replay high probability state B, the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S is set to “0” so that the replay A does not win in the replay high probability state B. If it is reached, an auxiliary effect is produced even if the AT flag is set in a game in which multiple types of replays are won by internal lottery. Image may not be displayed. In this case, since the auxiliary effect image A or the auxiliary effect image B is not displayed, the replay C is displayed and the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state C.

  In the above embodiment, when multiple types of replay are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B, the replay is performed when the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S has not reached 0. In the above description, the auxiliary effect image A for notifying the first specific order in which the special driving process reservation flag is set can be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Alternatively, in the replay high probability state B, the replay A is not won, and when multiple types of replays are won in the internal lottery in the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B, instead of the auxiliary effect image A, Notifies the first specific order but informs that multiple types of replays are won by internal lottery Out image may also be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. In this way, in the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B, the player can expect the first specific order and press the stop buttons B1 to B3, thereby increasing the expectation for winning the replay D. In addition, when the player wins the replay D by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a specific order, the special driving process is executed until a plurality of types of replay are won in the next internal lottery. Can greatly increase the sense of expectation.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the auxiliary effect image A for informing the first specific order is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD when the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S has not reached “0” has been described. However, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S does not reach, for example, “3”, the auxiliary effect image A informing the first specific order is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the value of the first AT end determination counter 193S is Until reaching “0” after reaching “3”, an auxiliary effect image B for informing the second specific order may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  In the above embodiment, when multiple types of small roles or multiple types of replays are won in the internal lottery, according to the three types of pressing order that differ depending on the type of the stop button pressed first (first). The example in which the winning combinations change is described as an example, but the winning combinations change according to the six different pressing orders depending on the combination of the types of the stop buttons pressed from the first to the third. You may do it.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state B when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay D is displayed on the active line in the replay high probability state A is given. However, the replay lottery state may be set to the replay high probability state B when the symbol combination other than the replay D is displayed on the active line in the replay high probability state A. Further, the replay high probability state A is omitted, and the replay lottery state is set to the replay high probability state B when the symbol combination indicating the replay B winning pattern is displayed on the active line in the replay low probability state A. You may make it do.

  In the above embodiment, when the replay high probability state C and the state where the AT flag is set is interrupted by winning the big bonus (BB), when the bonus state ends, the replay high probability state C When the AT flag is set and the game is returned to the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B and the AT flag is set, the game is interrupted by winning the big bonus (BB). Has been described with an example of returning to the state where the AT flag is set in the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B when the bonus state ends, If the state in which the AT flag is set is interrupted by winning the big bonus (BB), the replay A transition is made to the state in which the AT flag is set in the high probability state B, and the state in which the AT flag is set in the replay high probability state A or the replay high probability state B is determined by winning the big bonus (BB). In the case of interruption, when the bonus state ends, the state may be shifted to the replay high probability state C in which the AT flag is set.

  In the above embodiment, the replay lottery state is set from the replay high probability state B to the replay high probability state C. However, the replay lottery state is changed from the replay high probability state B to another replay lottery. The replay high probability state C may be set via the state.
