The setting value 21 can be changed by operating a setting change switch (not shown) provided in the housing 11 so that the player cannot operate it.

Next, a game in the slot machine 10 will be described.
It is possible to bet three medals as game media for one game. If you bet 3 medals, all 5 winning lines will be activated. The activated winning line is hereinafter referred to as an “effective winning line”. In addition, the medal bet includes a bet by inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 36 and a bet of a credited medal by operating the bet switch 32. Further, at the time of a re-game to be described later, the same number of medals as the number of bets in the previous game are automatically bet. In addition, it becomes possible to start the game on the condition that three medals bet, and when the start switch 33 is operated, a winning lottery of winning or losing a plurality of winning combinations is performed and 3 All the rotating reels 45 start to rotate. Thereafter, when all the three rotating reels 45 are rotated at a predetermined steady speed, the operation of all the three stop switches 34 becomes effective. When one of the three stop switches 34 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 45 corresponding to the stop switch 34 is stopped. Then, when all the three stop switches 34 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 45 is stopped. At this time, if a combination of symbols constituting the winning combination by winning combination lottery is stopped and displayed on any effective winning line on the effective winning line, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination may be obtained. The acquired medals are credited, and when the number of credits reaches the upper limit value, the hopper unit is driven, and the amount exceeding the upper limit value is paid out from the medal payout opening 37. In addition, a predetermined profit may be given to the player instead of the medal acquisition or along with the medal acquisition.

Here, a combination of a predetermined symbol on the effective winning line is stopped and displayed for the winning combination, and a combination of predetermined symbols on the effective winning line is stopped and displayed on the active winning line. There is a combination of a re-game player who executes a re-game that can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without a new medal being inserted, and a predetermined symbol on the active winning line. By being displayed in a stopped state, there is a bonus combination in which a medal is not paid out but a transition is made to a bonus game (a game whose game state is a bonus state described later).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the small roles include a plum role, a red 7 plum role, a blue 7 plum role, a BAR plum role, a bell role, a cherry role, and a special role. is there. For example, a red 7 plum role is constituted by a combination of symbols of “red 7A”, “plum”, and “plum”, and for example, a cherry role is “ANY”, “cherry”, “ANY” (“ANY” It may be a symbol of (.).). Then, a combination of symbols constituting the winning combination is stopped and displayed on any effective winning line, whereby a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the winning combination are paid out. For example, a combination of symbols “bell”, “bell”, and “bell” is stopped and displayed on one of the effective pay lines, whereby a predetermined number (for example, five) of medals corresponding to the bell combination is paid out.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the re-game player is constituted by a combination of symbols of “replay”, “replay” and “replay”. Then, the combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on one of the valid pay lines, so that the game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without newly inserting medals.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the bonus combination includes a BB combination and an RB combination. The BB combination is configured by a combination of symbols of “red 7A”, “red 7A”, and “red 7A”. Then, when the combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, the game shifts to a big bonus game (a game whose game state is a big bonus state described later) as a bonus game. The RB combination is composed of a combination of symbols of “blue 7”, “blue 7”, and “blue 7”. Then, when the symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, the game shifts to a regular bonus game as a bonus game (a game whose game state is a regular bonus state to be described later).

In the present embodiment, the bonus combination is shifted to the bonus game without paying out medals. However, after a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals are paid out, the bonus game is shifted to the bonus game. You may make it do.
Further, in the present embodiment, the game control device 21 has a normal state, an internal medium state, and a bonus state as the game state (the state of lottery drawing). Further, the bonus state includes a big bonus state (BB state) and a regular bonus state (RB state). Details of the gaming state will be described later.
(Role lottery means 100)
The role lottery means 100 performs a role lottery for winning or losing any of a plurality of roles. The role lottery means 100 includes a random number generation means, a random number extraction means, a role lottery table, and a determination means.

The random number generation means generates a random number for winning lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal number). The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined opportunity (for example, operation of the start switch 33). Since the random number generating means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 33 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means can be practically handled as a random number.
In addition, the combination lottery table predefines whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the random number generation means is won or lost in any of a plurality of combinations. In the present embodiment, the combination lottery table includes a normal combination lottery table used in the normal state, an internal medium combination lottery table used in the internal medium state, and a bonus combination used in the bonus state (BB state and RB state). There is a lottery table. Each winning lottery table has a winning area and a lost area. As the winning area, in addition to a single winning area where only one combination is won, an overlapping winning area where a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously selected can be set.

  For example, in the bonus combination lottery table, the winning areas of the bonus combination, the special combination and the replay combination are not set, and the plum combination, the red 7 plum combination, the blue 7 plum combination, the BAR plum combination and the bell combination An overlapping winning area for cherry roles (hereinafter, this overlapping winning area is referred to as “overlapping small role”) is set. Further, for example, in the internal middle combination lottery table, the winning areas for the bonus combination and the special combination are not set. In addition, for example, in the normal role lottery table, the overlapping winning area of the BB role and the bell role, the overlapping winning area of the BB role and the cherry role, the overlapping winning area of the RB role and the bell role, the overlapping winning area of the RB role and the cherry role Is set. Note that the combination of a plurality of combinations in the overlapping winning area is not limited to this.

In addition, the determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit with the combination lottery table and determines whether one of the plurality of combinations is won or lost. Specifically, when the determination means determines whether one of a plurality of winning combinations is won or lost, the determining means appropriately uses a winning lottery table corresponding to the gaming state at that time. It has become.
When any of the winning combinations is won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100, a winning flag corresponding to the winning winning combination is established. In addition, when a plurality of winning combinations are won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100, winning flags corresponding to each of the winning combinations are established. When the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination in the winning lottery is stopped and displayed on any active winning line while this flag is established, the player can pay out medals or bonus games. Etc. are granted.

Here, the winning flag includes a small role winning flag (plum winning flag, red 7 plum winning flag, blue 7 plum winning flag, which is established when the result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100 is that of a small role. A BAR plum winning flag, a bell winning flag, a cherry winning flag and a special winning flag), and a re-game winning flag established when the result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 100 is a winning of a re-gamer, and a winning lottery means There is a bonus winning flag (BB winning flag and RB winning flag) that is established when the result of a winning lottery by 100 is winning of a bonus winning.
And, although the small role winning flag and the re-game winning flag are valid only in the established game, the bonus winning flag can be carried over to the next game, and the symbols constituting the winning bonus combination This combination is deleted when it is stopped and displayed on any valid pay line.

Further, the role lottery means 100 transmits the result of the role lottery to the effect control device 22.
(Rotation control means 110)
The rotation control means 110 starts rotation of all three rotary reels 45 when the start switch 33 is operated, and controls rotational driving of all three rotary reels 45.
Specifically, the rotation control means 110 starts the rotation of all three rotary reels 45 when the start switch 33 is operated, and performs the acceleration process until the rotation speed reaches a predetermined steady speed. Then, when the rotation speed of the rotary reel 45 reaches a predetermined steady speed, the rotation control means 110 performs a constant speed process for rotating the rotary reel 45 at a constant constant speed.

(Stop control means 120)
The stop control means 120 is triggered by the operation of the stop switch 34, each rotation based on the result of the role lottery by the role lottery means 100 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 45 when the stop switch 34 is operated. Stop control is performed to stop the rotation of the reel 45 at an appropriate position.
Specifically, the stop control means 120 operates the operation position, which is the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 45 when each stop switch 34 is operated, after the corresponding stop switch 34 operates after the corresponding index is detected. The number of steps of the corresponding stepping motor until it is determined, and the symbol that can be immediately stopped on the effective pay line (that is, the operation position of the rotating reel 45) is determined in advance from this symbol in the rotation direction. The corresponding rotary reel 45 is stopped within the range up to the number of symbols (maximum number of smooth frames, for example, 4 frames) moved.

Here, the “frame” means the amount of rotation of the rotary reel 45 and corresponds to the amount of one symbol attached around the rotary reel 45.
The stop control means 120, when winning any of the winning combinations by lottery, when stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 45, the combination of symbols constituting the winning winning combination is any effective winning line For combinations of symbols that make up the winning combination other than the winning combination as much as possible, pull-in control and kick-off control are performed so that they are not aligned on any of the effective winning lines. If none of the winning combinations is won, that is, if the result of the winning combination lottery is lost, the symbols constituting any winning combination on any effective winning line when stopping the rotation of each reel 45. Kick-off control is performed so that there is no combination.

Further, in the present embodiment, there may be a case where a plurality of winning flags are established. In such a case, the stop control means 120 prioritizes any of the winning combinations in the pull-in control. Is set in advance. Specifically, the stop control means 120 sets the pull-in priority order as “re-game combination”> “small combination”> “bonus combination”. The pull-in priority order is not limited to this.
In the present embodiment, as described above, in the bonus game, there may be a case where multiple small combinations are won, that is, a plurality of small combinations are selected. In such a case, the stop control means 120 performs pull-in control. In FIG. 5, it is set in advance which of the plurality of selected small roles is to be drawn preferentially. Specifically, the stop control means 120 sets the pull-in priority of the small role as “red 7 plum role”> “blue 7 plum role”> “BAR plum role”> “plum role”> “bell role”> “ "Cherry role">"Specialrole". Note that the priority order for pulling in a small role is not limited to this.

Further, in the present embodiment, the stop control means 120 includes a stop table in which the stop position of the rotary reel 45 is determined in advance, and performs the above-described pull-in control and kick-off control using this stop table. Specifically, in the stop table, the correspondence between the operation position of the rotating reel 45 at the time when the stop switch 34 is operated and the actual stop position is defined according to the result of the winning lottery. In the stop table, a correspondence relationship between the operation position and the number of smooth frames indicating the rotation amount from the operation position to the actual stop position may be defined according to the result of the winning lottery.
Further, in the present embodiment, the stop control unit 120 includes one stop table for each flag state. Here, the flag state is, for example, a state where a plum winning flag is established or a state where a bell winning flag and a BB winning flag are established.

Then, the stop control means 120 stops the rotation of the rotary reel 45 at an appropriate position by stopping the supply of the pulse signal to each stepping motor of the reel unit 40.
The stop control means 120 may include one stop table for each flag state and game state.
Further, the stop control means 120 may perform the pull-in control and the kick-off control by program control that performs control while determining whether or not to stop and display a predetermined symbol on the effective winning line.
(Stop symbol judging means 130)
The stop symbol determination means 130 determines a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed on the effective pay line when the rotation of all the rotary reels 45 is stopped.

  In this embodiment, when the determination is made by the stop symbol determination means 130, control based on the result of this determination is executed by a predetermined means. For example, when it is determined by the stop symbol determining means 130 that the combination of symbols constituting any of the small combinations is stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, the game control means 60 determines the predetermined combination corresponding to the small combination. Try to pay out the number of medals. Specifically, the game control means 60 credits the number of medals to be paid out, and when the number of credits reaches the upper limit, the remaining number of medals are paid out by operating the hopper unit. To control. Further, for example, when the stop symbol determination means 130 determines that the combination of symbols constituting the re-game is stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, the game control means 60 performs control to execute the re-game. Do.

The stop symbol determination means 130 transmits the determination result to the effect control device 22.
(Game state transition control means 135)
The gaming state transition control means 135 controls the transition of the gaming state.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the game state includes a normal state, an internal middle state, and a bonus state (BB state and RB state). Then, the game state transition control means 135 performs control to shift the game state between these game states. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are established, transitioning the gaming state to another gaming state based on the fact that one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied Can do.

Further, in the present embodiment, the playing role of the plum role, the red 7 plum role, the blue 7 plum role, the BAR plum role, the bell role, the cherry role, the special role, and the replaying role is not a game condition transition condition. That is, for example, even if a combination of symbols constituting a plum winning combination is stopped and displayed on the active winning line, the gaming state transition control means 135 does not operate and remains in the current gaming state.
In the present embodiment, the gaming state transition control means 135 transmits a signal indicating the current gaming state to the effect control device 22. For example, the gaming state transition control means 135 may transmit a signal indicating the gaming state after the transition to the effect control device 22 when the gaming state is transitioned, or each game, the current gaming state A signal may be transmitted to the effect control device 22.

(Normal state)
The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among the plurality of types of game states, and the normal state can be shifted to the internal middle state and the bonus state. Further, in the normal state, as described above, the role lottery is performed using the normal role lottery table.
In the present embodiment, when the game state transition control means 135 wins a bonus combination (BB combination or RB combination) by a combination lottery in a normal state, the symbols constituting the winning bonus combination in the game The game state is shifted from the normal state to the internal middle state on the condition that the combination is not stopped and displayed on the active winning line, and the combination of symbols constituting the winning bonus combination is valid in the game. The game state is shifted from the normal state to the bonus state corresponding to the bonus combination on the condition that the game is stopped and displayed on the winning line.

(Internal state)
The internal middle state is a gaming state in which the right to win a bonus combination is carried over, in other words, a game state in which the bonus winning flag is carried over, and the transition from the internal middle state to the bonus state is possible. Further, in the internal middle state, as described above, the role lottery is performed using the internal middle role lottery table.
In the present embodiment, the gaming state transition control means 135, in the internal middle state, the combination of symbols constituting the bonus winning flag established, that is, the bonus combination carrying over the right of winning, is displayed on the effective winning line. The game state is shifted from the internal middle state to the bonus state corresponding to the bonus combination on the condition that the game is stopped and displayed.

(Bonus state)
The bonus state is a gaming state in which the winning probability of a predetermined combination (for example, a small combination) is higher than the normal state, and the transition from the bonus state to the normal state is possible. Further, in the bonus state, as described above, the winning lottery is performed using the bonus winning lottery table. As described above, in the present embodiment, the bonus state includes the BB state and the RB state. The BB state shifts when the combination of symbols constituting the BB combination is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line. In addition, the RB state is shifted when the combination of symbols constituting the RB combination is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line.

In the present embodiment, the gaming state transition control means 135 pays out a predetermined number of medals (for example, “297” in the BB state and “63” in the RB state) in the bonus state. Based on the above, the gaming state is shifted from the bonus state to the normal state. Here, “paid out a predetermined number of medals” includes a process of crediting medals to be paid out.
It should be noted that other conditions (for example, the number of games) can be set as conditions for shifting from the bonus state to the normal state, that is, the bonus game end condition.
Next, game effects will be described.

In the present embodiment, as an effect state (control state) in the effect control device 22, a normal effect state, a bonus symptom effect state (special effect state), an AT witness effect state, and a gusset sign effect state (special effect state) And AT state. In each effect state, the effect control device 22 performs various effects that excite the game in accordance with the result of the role lottery or the game state.
Further, the normal performance state is a normal performance state, and may be executed when the game state is a normal state, an internal state, or a bonus state. In addition, in the normal effect state, the effect control device 22 performs a specific effect that excites the bonus game when the game state is a bonus state.

In addition, the bonus warning effect state is an effect state different from the normal effect state, which may notify the player that the bonus combination has been won, and is executed over a maximum of 5 times (an example of n times). It is what is done. In other words, the bonus precursor effect state may be executed when the gaming state is a normal state or an internal medium state.
In addition, the AT precursor effect state is an effect state different from the normal effect state, and informs the player that the game will shift to an advantageous game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and at most 5 times. It is executed over the games. Further, the AT precursor effect state may be executed when the gaming state is a normal state.

Also, the gasse sign effect state is an effect state that is different from the normal effect state, and does not notify the player that the bonus combination has been won and that it will shift to the advantageous game described later. The player is expected to play at least one of these two things and is executed over a maximum of 5 games (an example of n games). In addition, the gasse sign effect state may be executed when the game state is a normal state.
The AT state is an effect state in which a notification effect for notifying the player of information related to the result of the role lottery is executed. The AT state may be executed when the gaming state is a normal state.

Further, the information related to the result of the role lottery (the contents of the notification) includes information on the winning combination.
For example, when the player is notified of the winning small combination, the player operates the stop switch 34 at a timing so that the combination of symbols constituting the winning small combination stops on one of the effective winning lines, Compared to the case where there is no notification, a combination of symbols constituting a larger number of small combinations can be stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, and as a result, a larger number of medals can be obtained. For this reason, a game in which the performance state is the AT state is a game that is more advantageous to the player than a game in which the game state is the normal state and the performance state is the normal performance state, the gasse prelude production state, or the AT prelude production state. ing. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the winning combination of red 7 plum, blue 7 plum or BAR plum is won by winning lottery, the winning state is notified to the player, and the production state is the AT state. The game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than a game in which the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the normal effect state, the gasse sign effect state, or the AT sign effect state.

In the present embodiment, a game in which the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the normal effect state, the gasse sign effect state or the AT sign effect state is referred to as “normal game”, and the effect state is the AT state. A game is called “advantageous game”. Hereinafter, a game whose effect state is the AT state is referred to as an “AT game”.
(Production data storage means 140)
The effect data storage means 140 stores effect data of effects to be executed. In the present embodiment, effect data storage means 140 stores a plurality of types of effect data including effect A to effect G and a confirmed effect. Each effect is composed of one or more appropriate combinations of image data to be displayed on the display device 55, sound data to be emitted from the speaker, and data of lighting, blinking or extinguishing of the lamp 17 for effects, etc. It is made up of data that defines at what timing (for example, when the start switch 33 is operated or when each stop switch 34 is operated) as the game progresses. Further, at least each of the effects A to G is an effect that causes the player to expect at least one of winning a bonus combination by winning a combination and shifting to an AT game (advantageous game). . Further, the finalized effect is an effect that informs the player that a bonus combination has been won by a combination lottery or that an AT game (advantageous game) will be transferred.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect data storage means 140 determines a selection lottery data table (see FIG. 10) and a selection lottery data table in which a selection probability of lottery for selecting a transition lottery data table to be described later is defined. A selection lottery table determination table (see FIG. 9) is stored. Specifically, the effect data storage means 140 has “normal A lottery table-1” to “normal A lottery table-30”, “normal B lottery table-1” to “normal B lottery table” as selection lottery data tables. -30 "," High-precision lottery table-1 "to" High-precision lottery table-30 "," First confirmed lottery table-1 "to" First confirmed lottery table-30 "and" Second confirmed lottery table ". 121 selection lottery data tables are stored (see FIG. 9). In addition, the selection probability of lottery in each selected lottery data table is defined in each selected lottery data table as the number of values used for determining which transition lottery data table is selected in the lottery for selecting the transition lottery data table. . Each selected lottery data table will be described later.

Further, in the present embodiment, the selected lottery data table and the selected lottery table determination table are commonly used for any set value among a plurality of set values (for example, 1 to 6) that determine the payout rate. However, at least one of the selected lottery data table and the selected lottery table determination table may be provided separately for each set value.
In the present embodiment, the effect data storage means 140 includes a transition lottery data table storage means 141 and an effect table storage means 142 as shown in FIG.
(Transition lottery data table storage means 141)
The transfer lottery data table storage means 141 defines the lottery probability of the transfer lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT game (advantageous game), and the lottery probability of the transfer lottery for the same or different number of games as the number of games. A plurality of transition lottery data tables defined in association with each other are stored.

  In the present embodiment, the transfer lottery data table storage unit 141, as shown in FIG. 5, includes a normal table 141a (normal transfer lottery data table), a high probability table 141b, and a first confirmation table as the transfer lottery data table. Five tables are stored: 141c (confirmed transfer lottery data table), second confirmed table 141d (confirmed transfer lottery data table), and bonus winning time table (not shown). In each transfer lottery data table excluding the bonus winning time table, the lottery probability of the transfer lottery corresponding to 33 games is defined in association with the number of games from the first to the 33rd game. Further, the lottery probability of one transfer lottery is defined in the bonus winning time table.

In addition, the normal table 141a defines the lottery probability of the transfer lottery so that the winning probability is extremely low. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the normal table 141a has a lottery probability with a winning probability of 0.1% and a lost probability of 99.9% as the lottery probability of the transition lottery in the first game. Is stipulated. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery probability for each time in the normal table 141a is defined so that the winning probability is in the range of 0.1% to 0.5%.
In addition, the high probability table 141b defines the lottery probability of the transition lottery so that the winning probability is higher than that of the normal table 141a. For example, in the high probability table 141b, as shown in FIG. 5B, as the lottery probability of the transition lottery in the first game, the lottery with the winning probability of 1.0% and the loss probability of 99.0% Probability is specified. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery probability of each time in the high probability table 141b is defined such that the winning probability is in the range of 1.0% to 5.0%.

In addition, the first determination table 141c defines the lottery probability of the transfer lottery so that the winner is always won in the 33rd game. For example, in the first determination table 141c, as shown in FIG. 5C, the winning probability is 100.0% and the loss probability is 0.0% as the lottery probability of the transition lottery in the 33rd game. A lottery probability is defined. In the present embodiment, the lottery probabilities from the first to 32nd times in the first determination table 141c are defined to be the same as the winning probability of the normal table 141a.
In addition, the second determination table 141d defines the lottery probability of the transfer lottery so that the player can always win in the 33rd game and can easily win even in the early game. For example, in the second confirmation table 141d, as shown in FIG. 5D, the winning probability is 10.0% and the loss probability is 90.0% as the lottery probability of the transition lottery in the first game. A lottery probability is defined, and, for example, as a lottery probability of the transition lottery in the third game, a lottery probability with a winning probability of 50.0% and a loss probability of 50.0% is defined. As a lottery probability of the transfer lottery in the 33rd game, a lottery probability having a winning probability of 100.0% and a loss probability of 0.0% is defined.

That is, in the present embodiment, the normal table 141a, the high probability table 141b, the first determination table 141c, and the second determination table 141d are “normal table 141a <high probability table 141b <first determination table 141c <second determination table”. In the order of “141d”, the table is advantageous to the player.
In the bonus winning table, a lottery probability having a winning probability of 20.0% and a loss probability of 80.0% is defined as the lottery probability of the transition lottery. As will be described later, in the bonus winning time table, an AT reservation flag (to be described later) indicating that the performance state is not in the AT state and the transition to the AT game (advantageous game) has not been established. In addition, in a normal state, it is referred to when a bonus combination is won by a combination lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, each lottery probability of the transition lottery in each transition lottery data table is defined in each transition lottery data table as the number of values used for determining whether or not it has been won in the transition lottery.
Moreover, in this Embodiment, each transfer lottery data table will be used in common in any setting value of the setting values (for example, 1-6) of several steps which defined the payout rate. However, it may be provided separately for each set value.
(Production table storage means 142)
The effect table storage means 142 is a table that is referred to in the bonus omen effect state, and is a bonus omen effect table (special) that defines information related to the effect in association with each of the five game counts in the bonus omen effect state. Effect table) and a table referred to in the bonus warning effect state or the AT warning effect state, and information relating to the effect is defined in association with each of the five game counts in the bonus warning effect state or the AT warning effect state. Common confirmation sign effect table, and a table that is referred to in the gasse sign effect state, in which information related to the effect is defined in association with each of the five game counts in the gase sign effect state. And a sign production scenario table for selecting a production to execute Than is. As shown in FIG. 6, each of the bonus omen effect table, the common confirmation witness effect table, and the gasse witness effect table is associated with each game number of times from 1 to 5, and predetermined information as effects is given. Referring to the precursor effect scenario table or selecting a predetermined effect is defined.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect table storage unit 142 stores a plurality of bonus sign effect tables including a bonus sign effect table A and a bonus sign effect table B as a bonus sign effect table. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the bonus predictor effect table A, refer to a later-described predictor effect scenario A table as a predictor effect scenario table in association with the number of games of “1”. And is associated with the number of games of “5” and is defined to select a finalized effect.
In addition, in each bonus omen effect table, an end reservation flag indicating that the bonus omen effect state (special effect state) or the gusset omen effect state (special effect state) is to be ended is selected from one to four times. It is established in advance in association with the number of games. For example, in the bonus sign effect table A, as shown in FIG. 6A, an end reservation flag is established in advance in association with the number of games of “3 times”. Further, for example, in the bonus sign effect table B, as shown in FIG. 6B, an end reservation flag is established in advance in association with the number of games of “2 times”.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect table storage unit 142 stores a plurality of common confirmation sign effect tables including a common confirmation sign effect table A and a common confirmation sign effect table B as a common confirmation sign effect table. Further, the end reservation flag is not established in the common confirmation sign effect table (see FIGS. 6C and 6D).
Further, in the present embodiment, the effect table storage unit 142 stores a plurality of gasse sign effect tables including the gasse signal effect table A to the gasse signal effect table D as the gas signal effect table. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), the Gase precursor effect table A is associated with the number of games of “1” and refers to a precursor effect scenario E table described later as a precursor effect scenario table. In addition, it is specified to refer to a precursor effect scenario F table described later as a precursor effect scenario table in association with the number of games of “2”.

  In addition, in the gasse precursor effect table, there are a case where an end reservation flag is established in advance and a case where it is not established. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), an end reservation flag is established in advance in the gasse sign effect table A in association with the number of games of “4 times”. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7B, an end reservation flag is established in advance in association with the number of games of “1 time” in the gasse precursor effect table B. Further, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, the end reservation flag is not established in the gasse precursor effect table C and the gasse precursor effect table D. In the present embodiment, the gasse precursor effect table in which the end reservation flag is established in advance in association with the number of games is also equivalent to the “special effect table”.

In the present embodiment, the effect table storage unit 142 stores a plurality of precursor effect scenario tables including the predictor effect scenario A table to the predictor effect scenario F table as the predictor effect scenario table. For example, in the precursor effect scenario A table, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), it is specified that any one of effect No, effect A, effect B, effect C, and effect D is selected. Here, “no effect” means that no effect is executed.
Similarly, in the precursor effect scenario B table, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), it is defined that any one of the effect No effect, the effect C, the effect D, the effect E, and the effect F is selected. Similarly, in the precursor effect scenario C table, as shown in FIG. 8 (C), it is defined that any one of the effect No, the effect B, the effect D, the effect F, and the effect G is selected. In addition, in the precursor effect scenario D table, as shown in FIG. 8D, it is defined that one of the effect A, the effect C, the effect E, and the effect G is selected. In the scenario E table, as shown in FIG. 8 (E), it is defined that any one of the no effect, the effect A, the effect B, the effect D, and the effect F is selected. In the F table, as shown in FIG. Nashi out, is defined to select any of the effect E and effect F.

In the present embodiment, although not shown in particular in each precursor effect scenario table, the selection probability of selecting each effect is defined in association with each effect (including no effect).
In the present embodiment, two or more end reservation flags may be defined in advance in association with the number of games in one bonus omen effect table or gasse omen effect table. For example, in a predetermined bonus precursor effect table, an end flag is defined in advance in association with two games, and an end reservation flag is defined in advance in association with four games. It may be.

(Mode determining means 150)
The mode determining means 150 determines one of a plurality of modes related to selection of the transfer lottery data table. In the present embodiment, the mode includes a normal A mode, a normal B mode, a high probability mode, a first determination mode, and a second determination mode. Further, each mode is a parameter when the transfer lottery data table is selected by the transfer lottery data table selection means 180, which will be described later. The first confirmation table or the second confirmation table is easily selected in the order of “second confirmation mode”. That is, each mode is an advantageous mode for the player in the order of “normal A mode <normal B mode <high probability mode <first confirmed mode <second confirmed mode”.

  In the present embodiment, the mode determining means 150, when the production state is not the AT state and the AT reservation flag to be described later is not established, in the normal state, when the bonus combination is won by the lottery, The mode is determined by lottery. Specifically, the mode determining means 150 determines a mode by lottery from among a mode more advantageous to the player than the current mode and the current mode. For example, when the current mode is the high probability mode, the mode determination means 150 determines a mode from among the high probability mode, the first determination mode, and the second determination mode by lottery. In other words, in this case, the mode determination means 150 maintains or promotes the mode. In this case, mode determining means 150 may determine a mode from all modes, that is, the mode may fall.

In the present embodiment, the mode determining means 150, when ending the AT game (advantageous game), is selected from the normal A mode, the normal B mode, the high probability mode, the first determination mode, and the second determination mode. The mode is determined by lottery. In other words, in this case, the mode determination means 150 maintains, promotes or falls the mode.
Note that the probability of the lottery in these cases is such that a mode that is advantageous to the player is easily determined according to a set value (for example, 1 to 6) that determines the payout rate. The same probability may be used for any set value.
The mode determining means 150 determines the mode by lottery when the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, when the bonus game is ended, or when the AT game is started. You may make it do.

In the present embodiment, the mode determination unit 150 determines that the determined current mode is the first determination mode or the first determination mode when the change determination unit 190 described later determines to change the mode to the first determination mode. When the current mode is the normal A mode, the normal B mode, or the high probability mode, the mode is changed (rewritten) to the first definite mode.
(Game counting means 160)
The game number counting means 160 starts counting the number of games when the transition lottery data table selection means 180, which will be described later, is selected, and counts the number of games as each game is executed. Thus, the number of games that are defined in the selected transition lottery data table is counted. In the present embodiment, the game number counting means 160 includes a game number counter that counts the number of games. The initial value of the game number counter is set to “0”.

In the present embodiment, the game number counting means 160 is triggered by the fact that the combination lottery is performed in the normal state when the performance state is not the AT state and the AT reservation flag described later is not established. Then, “1” is added to the count value of the game number counter.
Further, in the present embodiment, the game number counting means 160, when the count value of the game number counter reaches “33”, that is, the number of games that is the number of games specified in the transition lottery data table is 33 times. When the number of games is counted, the count value of the game number counter is reset to “0”. Specifically, the game number counting means 160, when the count value of the game number counter becomes “33” and the transition lottery data table is selected by the transition lottery data table selection means 180 described later, The count value of the number counter is reset to “0”.

In the present embodiment, the game number counting means 160 sets the count value of the game number counter to “0” when a bonus combination is won by a combination lottery in the normal state when the production state is not the AT state. Reset.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game number counting unit 160 selects a later-described transition lottery data table when it is determined by the later-described change determination unit 190 to change the transition lottery data table to the first confirmation table 141c. When the transition lottery data table is changed (rewritten) to the first confirmation table 141c by the means 180, the count value of the game number counter is not reset to “0”, and the next game and after Will continue to count the number of games.

In the present embodiment, the game number counting means 160 does not reset the count value of the game number counter to “0” even when the set value that determines the payout rate is changed. Hold. In other words, the game number counting means 160 prevents the count value of the game number counter from changing before and after the setting value is changed.
In the present embodiment, the game count method is a count-up method, but a count-down method may be used.
(Selection count means 170)
The selection number counting means 170 counts the number of times the transfer lottery data table is selected by the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 described later. In the present embodiment, the selection number counting unit 170 includes a selection number counter that counts the number of times the transfer lottery data table is selected by the transfer lottery data table selection unit 180. The initial value of the selection number counter is set to “0”.

  Further, as described above, in this embodiment, when the transfer lottery data table selection unit 180 selects the transfer lottery data table, the count value of the game number counter is reset to “0”. In this embodiment, the selection count counting means 170 is used when the count value of the game count counter is “0” when the performance state is not the AT state and the AT reservation flag described later is not established. In the normal state, “1” is added to the count value of the selection counter when triggered by the lottery. Thereby, in this Embodiment, the frequency | count that the transfer lottery data table was selected by the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 is counted.

In the present embodiment, the selection count counter 170 sets the count value of the selection count counter to “0” when the bonus combination is won by the lottery in the normal state when the production state is not the AT state. Reset.
In the present embodiment, the selection number counting means 170 sets the count value of the selection number counter to “0” when it is determined by the advantageous game transition determining means 200 described later that a transition to an AT game (advantageous game) is made. To "".
It should be noted that the selection number counting means 170 is configured to display a selection number counter when the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, when the bonus game is terminated, or when the AT game is terminated. The count value may be reset to “0”.

  In the present embodiment, the selection count counting unit 170 selects a later-described transition lottery data table when it is determined by the later-described change determination unit 190 to change the transition lottery data table to the first confirmation table 141c. When the transition lottery data table is changed (rewritten) to the first confirmation table 141c by the means 180, “1” is not added to the count value of the selection number counter. That is, in the present embodiment, the selection number counting means 170 does not count the change of the transfer lottery data table in this case to the number of times the transfer lottery data table is selected, but the transfer lottery data table is selected. You may make it count to the number of times.

(Migration lottery data table selection means 180)
The transfer lottery data table selection unit 180 selects one of the plurality of transfer lottery data tables stored in the transfer lottery data table storage unit 141. In the present embodiment, the transition lottery data table selection means 180 is triggered by the fact that the count value of the game number counter has become “33”, the normal table 141a, the high probability table 141b, the first confirmation table 141c and the second One of the transfer lottery data tables is selected from the confirmation table 141d.

Further, in the present embodiment, the transition lottery data table selection means 180 is one of the normal table 141a, the high probability table 141b, the first determination table 141c, and the second determination table 141d when the bonus game ends. The migration lottery data table is selected. In addition, the transition lottery data table selection means 180 moves one of the normal table 141a, the high probability table 141b, the first determination table 141c, and the second determination table 141d when the AT game (advantageous game) ends. Select a lottery data table.
In the present embodiment, the transition lottery data table selection means 180 selects the transition lottery data table based on the current mode determined by the mode determination means 150 and the count value of the selection number counter. Select by lottery. Specifically, the transition lottery data table selection unit 180 draws the transition lottery data table based on the current mode determined by the mode determination unit 150 and the value obtained by adding “1” to the count value of the selection number counter. Select by.

Here, “based on a value obtained by adding“ 1 ”to the count value of the selected number counter” means that the number of times of the next cycle is 33 cycles, that is, the next cycle. This means that the transfer lottery data table is selected based on the number of cycles.
Specifically, first, the transition lottery data table selection unit 180 refers to the selection lottery table determination table for determining the selection lottery data table stored in the effect data storage unit 140, and the mode determination unit 150 Selection lottery data in which the selection probability of the lottery for selecting the transition lottery data table is defined based on the determined current mode and the value obtained by adding “1” to the count value of the selection counter (the number of the next cycle) A table is determined (see FIG. 9). In the selection lottery table determination table, it is stipulated that a predetermined selection lottery data table is referred to in association with each next cycle number from 1 to 30 and each mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, the selection lottery data table includes “normal A lottery table-1” to “normal A lottery table-30”, “normal B lottery table-1” to “normal B lottery”. "Table-30", "High-precision lottery table-1" to "High-precision lottery table-30", "First final lottery table-1" to "First final lottery table-30" and "Second final lottery table" There are 121 selection lottery data tables (see FIG. 9). Each selection lottery data table has a lottery selection probability for selecting one of the transition lottery data tables from the normal table 141a, the high probability table 141b, the first confirmation table 141c, and the second confirmation table 141d. It is defined (see FIG. 10).

For example, when the current mode is the normal A mode and the value obtained by adding “1” to the count value of the selection number counter (next cycle number) is “2”, the transfer lottery data table selection means As shown in FIG. 9, 180 determines the selected lottery data table to be the “normal A lottery table-2” table.
When the current mode is the second confirmation mode, the transition lottery data table selection unit 180 adds the value “1” to the count value of the selection number counter (next cycle) as shown in FIG. Regardless of the value of (number), the selected lottery data table is determined to be the “second final lottery table”.

Then, the transition lottery data table selection unit 180 refers to the selected selection lottery data table from the effect data storage unit 140, and selects the transition lottery data table with the selection probability specified in the selection lottery data table. To select a transfer lottery data table (see FIG. 10).
For example, when the selected lottery data table is determined to be the “normal A lottery table-2” table, the transition lottery data table selection means 180 changes the normal table 141a to 97.0 as shown in FIG. %, High probability table 141b is 1.0%, first confirmed table 141c is 1.0%, and second confirmed table 141d is selected with a probability of 1.0%, and a lottery data table for transition Select. In the “second confirmed lottery table”, as shown in FIG. 10B, the probability is defined so that the second confirmed table 141d is always selected. Further, the “first confirmed lottery table-30”, “highly-probable lottery table-30”, “normal B lottery table-30”, and “normal A lottery table-30” are shown in FIGS. As shown, the probability is defined so that the first confirmation table 141c or the second confirmation table 141d is always selected.

In step 220, a transfer lottery data table is selected by the transfer lottery data table selecting means 180, and in step 221, the count value of the game number counter is reset to “0” by the game number counting means 160. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 222.
In step 222, it is determined whether or not the effect state is an AT sign effect state. Here, if it is determined that the AT sign effect state, the process proceeds to step 223. On the other hand, if it is determined that the AT sign effect state is not established, the process proceeds to step 225.
In step 223, “1” is added to the count value of the precursor game number counter 210 by the precursor game number counter 210, and in step 224, an effect process that is a process related to the effect is performed. Specifically, when the effect determination means 251 refers to the selected common sign precursor effect table, it is determined whether to execute any effect, and it is determined to execute any effect In this case, the determined effect is executed by the effect execution means 252. Then, the process proceeds to Step 227.

In step 225, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a bonus omen effect state or a gusset omen effect state. Here, if it is determined that none of the effects is in effect, the process proceeds to step 226. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the production states is present, the process proceeds to step 255.
In step 226, an effect process that is a process related to the effect is performed. Specifically, for example, when the gaming state is the normal state, the effect determining means 251 determines whether or not to execute the predetermined effect according to the result of the role lottery, and executes the predetermined effect. If it is decided to do, the decided execution effect is executed by the effect execution means 252. Further, for example, when the gaming state is a bonus state, the effect determining means 251 determines to execute a specific effect that excites the bonus game, and the effect executing means 252 determines the determined specific effect. Executed. Further, for example, when the production state is the AT state, when the winning combination of red 7 plum, blue 7 plum or BAR plum is won by the winning lottery, the effect determining means 251 notifies the winning combination. It is determined to execute the effect, and the determined notification effect is executed by the effect executing means 252. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 227.

In step 227, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 34 related to the third stop operation has been operated. Here, if it is determined that it has been operated, the process proceeds to step 228. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has not been operated, step 227 is again performed.
In step 228, it is determined whether a bonus game is in progress. If it is determined that the bonus game is not being played, the process proceeds to step 229. on the other hand. If it is determined that a bonus game is in progress, the process proceeds to step 261.
In step 229, it is determined whether or not an AT game is being played. Here, if it is determined that no AT game is being played, the process proceeds to step 230. On the other hand, if it is determined that an AT game is being played, the process proceeds to step 263.

In step 230, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a bonus sign effect state or a gasse sign effect state. Here, if it is determined that neither of the effects is in effect, the sub-control process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the production states is present, the process proceeds to step 266.
In step 231 shown in FIG. 13A, it is determined whether or not the AT reservation flag is established. Here, if it is determined that it is not established, the process proceeds to step 232. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is established, the process proceeds to step 238.
In step 232, the mode determination means 150 performs a lottery to determine the mode from among the mode more advantageous to the player than the current mode and the current mode, and the mode is determined. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 233.

In step 233, the advantageous game transition determination means 200 refers to the bonus winning time table to acquire the lottery probability of the transition lottery, and the transition lottery is performed with the acquired lottery probability. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 234.
In step 234, the advantageous game transition determining means 200 determines whether or not the result of the transition lottery is winning. Here, if it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to step 235. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not winning, the process proceeds to step 236.
In step 235, the AT reservation flag is established by the advantageous game transition determining means 200. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 236.

  In step 236, the count value of the game number counter is reset to “0” by the game number count means 160. In step 237, the count value of the selection number counter is reset to “0” by the selection number count means 170. In step 238, the effect determining means 251 selects any one of the plurality of bonus sign effect tables and the plurality of common confirmation sign effect tables, and the effect state control means 250 starts the bonus sign effect state. . Then, the process proceeds to step 255. At this time, if the AT precursor effect state or the Gasse precursor effect state is being executed, the AT precursor effect state or the Gasse precursor effect state that has been executed ends, and the bonus precursor effect state is started.

In step 239 shown in FIG. 13B, it is determined whether or not the AT reservation flag is established. Here, if it is determined that it is not established, the process proceeds to step 240. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is established, the process proceeds to step 243.
In step 240, the advantageous game transition determining means 200 determines to shift to the AT game, and the AT reservation flag is established. In step 241, the game number counter 160 sets the count value of the game number counter to “0”. In step 242, the selection number counter 170 resets the count value of the selection number counter to “0”. In step 243, the effect execution unit 252 executes the finalized effect. Then, the process proceeds to Step 227. At this time, if the AT precursor effect state or the gusset precursor effect state has been executed, the AT precursor effect state or the gusset precursor effect state that has been executed ends, and the confirmed effect is executed.

In step 244 shown in FIG. 14A, the AT reservation flag is established by the advantageous game transition determining means 200, and in step 245, the count value of the game number counter is reset to “0” by the game number counting means 160. In step 246, the selection number counter 170 resets the count value of the selection number counter to “0”. In step 247, the effect determination unit 251 selects any one of the plurality of common confirmation sign effect tables. Is selected, and the AT sign effect state is started by the effect state control means 250. Then, the process proceeds to Step 223.
In step 248 shown in FIG. 14B, the change determination means 190 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to change the transition lottery data table to the first determination table 141c and the mode to the first determination mode. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 249.

In step 249, the change determination means 190 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. Here, if it is determined that the player has won, the routine proceeds to step 250. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not winning, the process proceeds to step 251.
In step 250, a change process for changing the transfer lottery data table or mode is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 251.
In step 251, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a normal effect state. Here, if it is determined that it is in the normal performance state, the process proceeds to step 252. On the other hand, if it is determined not to be in the normal performance state, the process proceeds to step 219.

In step 252, the effect state control means 250 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to start the gasse sign effect state. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 253.
In step 253, the effect state control means 250 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. Here, if it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to step 254. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not winning, the process proceeds to step 219.
In step 254, the effect determining means 251 selects one of the plurality of gasse sign effect tables, and the effect state control means 250 starts the gasse sign effect state. Then, the process proceeds to Step 219.

  In step 255 shown in FIG. 15A, the predecessor game number counting means 210 adds “1” to the count value of the predecessor game number counter, and in step 256, an effect process that is a process related to the effect is performed. Specifically, the effect determination means 251 refers to the selected common sign precursor effect table or the bonus predictor effect table in the bonus predictor effect state, or refers to the selected gasse precursor effect table in the gasse predictor effect state. Thus, it is determined whether or not to execute any one of the effects, and when it is determined to execute any one of the effects, the determined effect is executed by the effect executing means 252. Then, the process proceeds to step 257.

In step 257, the number of games of the current game is determined based on the count value of the precursor game number counter with reference to the common sign precursor effect table, bonus predictor effect table, or gasse precursor effect table selected by the effect determining means 251. It is determined whether or not an end reservation flag is established in advance. Here, if it is determined that the relationship is established, the routine proceeds to step 258. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not established, the process proceeds to step 227.
In step 258, the end lottery 240 determines whether or not to end the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state that is being executed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 259.

In step 259, it is determined whether or not the result of the end lottery is winning. Here, if it is determined that the player has won, the routine proceeds to step 260. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not winning, the process proceeds to step 227.
In step 260, an end flag is established by the end lottery means 240. Then, the process proceeds to Step 227.
In step 261 shown in FIG. 15B, it is determined whether or not the bonus game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals during the bonus game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 369 in the BB game). If it is determined that the process is to end, the process proceeds to step 262. On the other hand, if it is determined not to end, the sub-control processing ends.

In step 262, the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 selects the transfer lottery data table. Then, the sub control process ends.
In step 263 shown in FIG. 15C, it is determined whether or not the AT game is completed by executing the AT game a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). If it is determined that the process is to end, the process proceeds to step 264. On the other hand, if it is determined not to end, the sub-control processing ends.
In step 264, the mode determination means 150 performs a lottery to determine the mode from among the normal A mode, normal B mode, high probability mode, first determination mode, and second determination mode, and the mode is determined. Then, the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 selects the transfer lottery data table. Then, the sub control process ends.

In step 266 shown in FIG. 16A, it is determined whether or not the count value of the precursor game number counter is “5”. If it is determined that it is not “5”, the process proceeds to step 267. On the other hand, if it is determined as “5”, the process proceeds to step 268.
In step 267, it is determined whether an end flag is established. Here, if it is determined that it is established, the process proceeds to step 268. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not established, the sub-control process ends.
In step 268, the effect state control means 250 terminates the bonus sign effect state or the gusset sign effect state that is being executed. Then, the sub control process ends.

Next, the change process in step 250 described above will be described.
In step 300 shown in FIG. 16B, it is determined whether the current mode is the normal A mode, the normal B mode, or the high probability mode. If it is determined that the mode is one of the modes, the process proceeds to step 301. On the other hand, if it is determined that neither mode is set, the process proceeds to step 302.
In step 301, the mode determination means 150 changes the mode to the first determination mode. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 302.
In step 302, it is determined whether the currently selected transition lottery data table is the normal table 141a or the high probability table 141b. If it is determined that the table is one of the tables, the process proceeds to step 303. On the other hand, if it is determined that the table is not one of the tables, the change process ends.

In step 303, the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 changes the transfer lottery data table to the first confirmation table. Then, the change process ends.
(Action / Effect)
As described above, the present embodiment includes the normal table 141a, the high probability table 141b, the first confirmation table 141c, and the second confirmation table 141d as the transfer lottery data table. The first decision table 141c and the second decision table 141d define at least one game lottery probability of the transfer lottery that always decides to shift to the AT game (advantageous game).

  Further, in the present embodiment, each time the normal game in which the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the normal effect state or the gasse sign effect state is executed 33 times, any of the four transition lottery data tables is selected. Whether or not the transition lottery probability of the transition lottery is acquired based on the number of games, the transition lottery is performed with the acquired lottery probability, and the game is shifted to the AT game. To decide. In addition, when selecting the transfer lottery data table, the selection is based on the number of times of the next cycle, ie, the next cycle number and the current mode, with 33 games as one cycle. To do. If the next cycle number is the 30th, the first confirmation table 141c or the second confirmation table 141d is selected.

  That is, according to the present embodiment, the transfer lottery can be raised or lowered depending on which transfer lottery data table is selected. In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the next cycle number is the 30th time, by selecting the first confirmed table 141c or the second confirmed table 141d, a maximum of 990th (33 times × 30) games Therefore, it is determined that the game will be transferred to the AT game by the transfer lottery. Therefore, when the predetermined number of games (990 in the present embodiment) has passed, A so-called “ceiling” function for starting a game can be realized. In addition, according to the present embodiment, every time the normal game in which the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the normal effect state or the gasse sign effect state is executed 33 times, the transition lottery data table is selected, Since the transfer lottery is performed with reference to the selected transfer lottery data table, it is only necessary to design a plurality (four in this embodiment) of transfer lottery data tables, and for each number of games until the so-called ceiling is reached. Compared with the case where the lottery probability of the transfer lottery is designed, the labor for designing the lottery probability of the transfer lottery can be reduced, and the data capacity of the lottery probability of the transfer lottery can be reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, even if the set value is changed, the count value of the game number counter that counts the number of games with the execution of each game, and the selection number counter that counts the number of times the transition lottery data table is selected The count value is held without being reset. Thereby, according to this Embodiment, it can prevent a player not being aware that the setting value was changed. Specifically, for example, when the count value of the game number counter and the count value of the selection number counter are reset when the set value is changed, for example, the ceiling (990 in this embodiment) Times) When the game has been completed in the vicinity of the number of games (for example, 970 times), if the game is executed 20 times the next day and the AT precursor effect state is not started, it is indicated to the player that the set value has been changed. It will be noticed.

Further, in this embodiment, when it is determined to shift to the AT game, the effect state becomes the AT sign effect state. At this time, one of the plurality of common confirmation sign effect tables in which information related to the effect is defined in association with each of the five game times is selected. In the AT sign effect state, when it is determined whether to execute each game or any effect with reference to the selected common confirmation sign effect table, and to execute any effect Performs the production. When this AT sign effect state is completed, the effect state is changed to the AT state from the next game, and the AT game is started.
Further, in the present embodiment, in a normal game in which the game state is the normal state and the production state is the normal production state, the gasse sign production state or the AT sign production state, when the bonus combination is won by the lottery, the production state is It becomes a bonus sign production state. At this time, one of the plurality of bonus omen effects tables and the plurality of common confirmation omen effects tables in which information related to the effects is defined in association with each of the five game times is selected. Then, in the bonus omen effect state, with reference to the selected bonus omen effect table, it is determined whether or not to execute any game, any effect, and if any effect is determined to be executed The production is executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal game where the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the normal effect state, when the win the bell role or the cherry role by the role lottery, and the transition lottery data table is selected next In the game, the production state becomes a prelude production state by lottery. At this time, any table is selected from among a plurality of gusset precursor effect tables in which information related to the effect is defined in association with each of the five game times. And, in the case of the gasse sign effect state, with reference to the selected gase sign effect table, it is determined whether or not to execute each game, any effect, and if any effect is determined to be executed The production is executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, in some of the plurality of gasse sign effect tables and the bonus sign effect table, an end reservation flag is associated with any number of games from 1 to 4 times. It is established.
In the present embodiment, in the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state, the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state is referred to with reference to the selected bonus omen effect table, the common confirmation omen effect table or the gusset omen effect table. When the end reservation flag is established in association with the number of games of the current game in, the end lottery for determining whether or not to end the running effect state is performed, and the end is determined The end flag is established. If the end flag is established at the end of each game in the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state, the executed bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state is ended.

  In other words, according to the present embodiment, a table of effects (bonus harbinger effect table, common confirmation symptom effect table or gusset omen) in which information relating to effects for a fixed number of games (5 in this embodiment) is defined. While using the effect table, the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state can be shown to be variable rather than being executed over a fixed number of games. That is, it can be shown that the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state is executed over the number of games of a plurality of patterns, such as being executed over two or four games. Furthermore, it is possible to make various variations of effects by combining the number of games in a plurality of patterns and the effects to be executed.

In addition, in the bonus warning effect state, for example, even if the player is immediately informed that the player has won the bonus role, the bonus warning effect state ends with a smaller number of games than the fixed number of games (five times). Then, there is a case where the confirmed effect is executed immediately thereafter, so that it is possible to prevent the player from getting bored or feeling stress as compared to the case where the bonus omen effect state is always executed over a fixed number of games. .
Further, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to have a table of effects for 3 times or 4 times as a bonus omen effect table or a gusset omen effect table, so that the data capacity can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the end reservation flag is associated with the number of games and defined in advance in the bonus omen effect table or the gasse omen effect table, but is different from the bonus omen effect table or the gasse omen effect table. It may be specified in the table. In other words, the effect table storage unit 142 has a plurality of end flags whose end flags are defined in association with any number of games from 1 to 4, in addition to the bonus omen effect table or the gasse omen effect table. A table may be provided. In this case, when the effect determination means 251 starts the bonus sign effect state, the effect determination means 251 selects one of a plurality of bonus sign effects tables and a plurality of common confirmation sign effect tables stored in the effect table storage means 142. It is possible to select one of the plurality of end flag tables or not to select any one of the end flag tables. Similarly, the effect determining means 251 selects any one of the plurality of gasse sign effect tables stored in the effect table storage means 142 when starting the gasse sign effect state, It is possible to select or not select any end flag from the end flag table.

Then, the end lottery means 240 selects the end flag table by the effect determining means 251 when the effect determining means 251 determines whether or not to execute any effect in the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state. If it has been done, an end reservation flag is established in advance in association with the number of games of the current game based on the count value of the precursor game number counter with reference to the selected end flag table. Sometimes, an end lottery can be performed.
(Second Embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the end lottery means 240 is not provided, and the configurations such as the transfer lottery data table and the bonus sign effect table are mainly different from the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 17 and FIG.

(Transition lottery data table storage means 141)
In the present embodiment, the transfer lottery data table storage unit 141 stores “table A-1” to “table A-33” and “table B-1” to “table” in which different lottery probabilities of transfer lotteries are defined. A plurality of tables including “B-33” and “table C-1” to “table C-6” are stored (see FIG. 17).
In the present embodiment, each transition lottery data table excluding the bonus winning time table is associated with each number of games from the first to the 33rd, and a plurality of such as “table A-1” described above. It is stipulated that a predetermined table is referred to (see FIG. 17A). For example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the normal table 141a stipulates that “table A-1” is referred to in association with the number of games of “1”. Further, the high probability table 141b stipulates that “table A-1” is referred to in association with the “twice” number of games. Each of the first confirmation table 141c and the second confirmation table 141d is defined to refer to “table C-1” in association with the number of games of “33”.

In “Table A-1”, as shown in FIG. 17B, a lottery probability with a winning probability of 0.1% and a loss probability of 99.9% is defined. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17C, the “table C-1” defines a lottery probability with a winning probability of 100.0% and a loss probability of 0.0%.
And according to this Embodiment, a transfer lottery data table is comprised including tables, such as "table A-1" and "table C-1" as shown to FIG. 17 (B) and (C). Can do.
In this way, the lottery probability data of the transfer lottery in “table A-1”, “table C-1”, etc. can be used in common in the same or different transfer lottery data tables. The data capacity of the lottery probability can be reduced.

(Production table storage means 142)
In the present embodiment, the bonus omen effect table is selected even in the gusset omen effect state.
Further, in the present embodiment, in the bonus omen effect table, as shown in FIG. 18, instead of the ending reservation flag, the number of games to end the effect state that is being executed in the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state. The number of end games (information defining that the special effect state is ended in the m-th game in the special effect state) is defined in advance. In each bonus sign effect table, one of the number of games from 1 to 4 is defined as the number of end games. For example, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), in the bonus precursor effect table A, the number of games of “3” is defined as the number of end games, and for example, in the bonus precursor effect table B, FIG. As shown in B), a game count of “2 times” is defined as the end game count.

Similarly, in the present embodiment, the number of ending games is defined in the gasse precursor effect table instead of the ending reservation flag. For example, as shown in FIG. 18 (C), the number of games “4” is defined as the number of end games in the Gase precursor effect table A. For example, in the Gase precursor effect table B, FIG. As shown in D), the number of games of “1” is defined as the number of finished games.
(Advantageous game transition decision means 200)
In the present embodiment, the advantageous game transition determining means 200, when the production state is not the AT state and the AT reservation flag is not established, in the normal state, any one of the bonus combination and the special combination by the combination lottery When the winning combination is not won, the table is selected based on the number of games counted by the game number counting means 160 with reference to the transition lottery data table selected by the transition lottery data table selecting means 180 (see FIG. 17 (A)), the lottery probability of the transfer lottery is acquired from the selected table, the transfer lottery is performed with the acquired lottery probability, and it is determined whether or not to shift to the AT game (advantageous game).

(Production state control means 250)
In the present embodiment, the production state control means 250, when the combination of symbols constituting the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the active winning line in the bonus sign production state, the sign game number counter When the count value is “5”, or the count value of the precursor game number counter is the value of the number of end games specified in the bonus precursor effect table selected by the effect determination means 251 in the bonus predictor effect state In addition, the bonus omen effect state is ended and the normal effect state is started (shifted).
Further, in the present embodiment, the production state control means 250 is defined in the bonus omen effect table or the gasse omen effect table selected by the effect determination means 251 in the gaze omen effect state. If the value of the number of ending games being played, or if the count value of the precursor game number counter is “5” in the Gase precursor effect state, the Gase precursor effect state is terminated and the normal effect state is started (transition) ). In the present embodiment, when the predicate game effect state is ended when the count value of the sign game number counter is “5”, the bonus predictive effect table is selected by the effect determining means 251 and the bonus In the sign effect table, when the confirmed effect is defined in association with the number of games this time (five times), the sign effect state is terminated without executing the confirmed effect.

(Direction determining means 251)
In the present embodiment, the effect determining means 251 is one of a plurality of bonus omen effects tables and a plurality of gasse omen effects tables stored in the effect table storage means 142 when starting the gasse sign effect state. Select the table. Then, the effect determining means 251 refers to the selected table in the gaze precursor effect state and determines whether to execute any effect based on the count value of the precursor game number counter.
Even with such a configuration, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, in the present embodiment, since the bonus warning effect table is selected even in the gasse warning effect state, the number of gash warning effect tables can be reduced as compared with the first embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
In the present embodiment, in the bonus omen effect table and the gusset omen effect table, the end reservation flag is not established, and when the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state is started, It is mainly different from the first embodiment in that it is determined to end the effect state being executed in the predetermined number of games (m times) in the effect state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the production control device 22 also functions as an end determination unit and an end information storage unit. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the differences.

(Production table storage means 142)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the end reservation flag is not established in the bonus sign effect table and the gasse sign effect table.
(End determination means)
In the game of the predetermined number of times (m times) in the effect state to be executed from now on when starting the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state (predetermined time until the start of the special effect state), It is determined to end the effect state that is being executed. In the present embodiment, the end determining means is executed in any one of the games from one to four times in the bonus omen effect state or the gase omen effect state when starting the bonus omen effect state or the gusset precursor effect state. It is determined by lottery whether or not to end the performing state.

(End information storage means)
The end information storage means, when it is determined by the end determination means to end the effect state being executed in the predetermined number of games (m times) in the bonus omen effect state or the gasse omen effect state. Is memorized. In the present embodiment, the end information storage means includes first to fourth storage areas associated with each number of games from 1 to 4.
Then, the end information storage means is determined to end the effect state being executed in any one of the games from one to four times in the bonus omen effect state or the gasse omen effect state by the end determination means. In this case, an end reservation flag is established in a predetermined storage area associated with the number of games to be ended. As a result, the end information storage means stores information indicating that the effect state being executed in the predetermined number of games in the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state is to be ended. For example, if the end information storage means determines that the effect state being executed in the third game is to be ended by the end determination means, the end information storage means is associated with the third game number of times to be ended. An end reservation flag is established in the storage area.

(End lottery means 240)
In the present embodiment, the end lottery means 240 refers to the end information storage means when it is determined by the effect determining means 251 whether or not to execute any of the effects in the bonus omen effect state or the gasse sign effect state. Then, based on the count value of the precursor game number counter, the end lottery is performed when the end reservation flag is established in a predetermined storage area associated with the number of games of the current game. Then, the end lottery means 240 establishes an end flag when it is determined by the end lottery that the running bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state is to be ended.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
Hereinafter, an outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 (A), 14 (B), and 15 (A).

In the present embodiment, in step 238 shown in FIG. 13A, the effect determining means 251 selects one of the plurality of bonus omen effect tables and the plurality of common confirmed omen effect tables, and ends. The determining means determines by lottery whether or not to end the bonus effect state in one to four games in the bonus warning effect state, and once to four in the bonus warning effect state by the end determination device. When it is determined that the bonus effect state is to be ended in any of the games up to the number of times, an end reservation flag is established in a predetermined storage area associated with the number of games to be ended by the end information storage means Then, the effect state control means 250 starts the bonus sign effect state. Then, the process proceeds to step 255.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in step 254 shown in FIG. 14B, the effect determining means 251 selects any one of the plurality of gasse sign effect tables, and the end determining means selects the gas sign. It is determined by lottery whether or not to end the gasse effect state in one to four times in the effect state, and any of the games from one to four times in the gase sign effect state is determined by the end determination means. If it is determined that the game effect state is to be ended in that game, the end information storage means establishes an end reservation flag in a predetermined storage area associated with the number of games to be ended, and the effect state control means By 250, the gasse sign production state is started. Then, the process proceeds to Step 219.

Further, in the present embodiment, in step 257 shown in FIG. 15A, the end information storage means is referred to and is associated with the number of games of the current game based on the count value of the precursor game number counter. It is determined whether or not an end reservation flag is established in the predetermined storage area. Here, if it is determined that the relationship is established, the routine proceeds to step 258. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not established, the process proceeds to step 227.
Even with such a configuration, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.
In the present embodiment, the end information storage means finishes the effect state being executed in any one of the games from one to four times in the bonus omen effect state or the gasse omen effect state by the end determination means. When it is determined to do, the number of games to be ended may be stored. In this case, the end lottery means 240, when the effect determining means 251 determines whether or not to execute any effect in the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state, the count value of the omen game number counter When the value is the value of the number of games to be ended stored by the end information storage means, the end lottery can be performed.

(Fourth embodiment)
In the present embodiment, in the bonus omen effect table and the gusset omen effect table, the end reservation flag is not established, and the effect state that is being executed is ended during the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state. This is mainly different from the first embodiment described above. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the effect control device 22 also functions as an end determination unit and an end reservation flag establishment unit. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the differences.
(Production table storage means 142)
In the present embodiment, the end reservation flag is not established in the bonus precursor effect table and the gasse precursor effect table as in the third embodiment (see FIG. 19).

(End determination means)
In the present embodiment, the end determination means is formed so as to determine whether or not to end the effect state being executed in the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state. In the present embodiment, the end determination means ends the effect state that is being executed when the count value of the predecessor game number counter is a value other than “5” in the bonus predictor effect state or the gasse predictor effect state. Whether or not is determined by lottery. In other words, the end determination means determines by lottery whether or not to end the effect state that is being executed in each of the games from 1 to 4 times in the bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state.

(End reservation flag establishment means)
The ending reservation flag establishment means has an ending reservation flag indicating that the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state is to be ended when it is determined by the ending determination means to end the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state. It will be established.
In the present embodiment, the end reservation flag establishment unit erases the end reservation flag when the end lottery unit 240 performs the end lottery when the end reservation flag is established.
(End lottery means 240)
In the present embodiment, the end lottery means 240 is determined by the end reservation flag establishment means when it is determined by the effect determining means 251 whether or not to execute any effect in the bonus omen effect state or the gusset omen effect state. When the end reservation flag is established, the end lottery is performed. Then, the end lottery means 240 establishes an end flag when it is determined by the end lottery that the running bonus sign effect state or the gasse sign effect state is to be ended.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
Hereinafter, an outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the process of step 257.
In this embodiment, in step 257 shown in FIG. 15A, when the count value of the sign game number counter is a value other than “5” by the end determination means, the bonus sign effect state that is being executed. Alternatively, a lottery for deciding whether or not to end the pre-gase sign effect state is performed. If the result of the lottery is a win, an end reservation flag is established by the end reservation flag establishment means, and the process proceeds to step 258. On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is lost, the process proceeds to step 227.

Even with such a configuration, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.
(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, each transition lottery data table defines the game and the lottery probability of 33 transition lotteries, but they may be different from each other. For example, the normal table 141a may specify the game and 33 lottery transfer probability, and the second confirmation table 141d may specify the game and 10 transfer lottery probability. In this case, the game number counting means 160 refers to the selected transfer lottery data table when the transfer lottery data table is selected by the transfer lottery data table selection means 180, and transfers the transfer lottery data. The number of games specified in the table can be acquired, and the number of games acquired can be counted as each game is executed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the selection number counting means 170, when the effect state is not the AT state and the AT reservation flag is not established, when the count value of the game number counter is “0”, In the normal state, “1” is added to the count value of the selection counter when the part lottery is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the selection count counting means 170 may add “1” to the count value of the selection count counter when the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 selects the transfer lottery data table.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode determination unit 150 changes the mode to the first when the count value of the selection counter is “29”, in other words, when the next cycle is the 30th. The confirmation mode may be set. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode determining means 150 performs the role lottery when the count value of the selection counter is “29”, in other words, when the AT reservation flag is not established in the 30th cycle. When the bonus combination is won, the mode may be changed to the first confirmation mode. In the above-described embodiment, the transition lottery data table selection means 180 is used when the count value of the selection counter is “29”, in other words, when the AT reservation flag is not established in the 30th cycle. When the bonus combination is won by the combination lottery, the transition lottery data table after the bonus game corresponding to the selected bonus combination is completed may be the first determination table 141c. In this way, when the first confirmation table 141c is selected and it is practically confirmed that it will enter the 30th cycle and reach the so-called ceiling, and if the bonus combination is won by the combination lottery, After the game is over, the player can benefit from the so-called ceiling.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the next cycle number is a predetermined number (for example, 5 times, 10 times, multiples of 3 (3 times, 6 times,...)), The first determination table. 141c or the second confirmation table 141d may be easily selected. Similarly, in this case, the high probability table 141b may be easily selected.
In the above-described embodiment, the change determination means 190 changes the transition lottery data table to a transition lottery data table that is more advantageous to the player than the current transition lottery data table, and sets the mode to the player more than the current mode. It may be determined whether to change to an advantageous mode. In this way, for example, when the transfer lottery data table is changed (rewritten) to the high probability table 141b by the transfer lottery data table selection means 180, the count value of the game number counter is “ Since it is not reset to “0”, in the above-described embodiment, it is possible to prevent the number of games to the above-described ceiling from being extended even by changing the transfer lottery data table.

In the above-described first, third, or fourth embodiment, the effect state that is being executed may be ended without performing the end lottery, similarly to the second embodiment. That is, when the end reservation flag is established, the effect state that is being executed may be ended without performing the end lottery.
In the first, third or fourth embodiment, the end lottery means 240 establishes the end flag without performing the end lottery when the end reservation flag is established, and the effect state control means 250. If the end flag is satisfied, the effect state that is being executed may be ended.

  In the above-described first, third, or fourth embodiment, when the end flag is established, the effect determined by the effect determining means 251 is executed and executed in the game. The effect state is ended, that is, the effect state being executed is ended at the end of the game in which the end flag is established. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the end reservation flag or the end flag is established, the effect state being executed is ended without executing the effect in the game, that is, the game where the end reservation flag or the end flag is established. You may make it complete | finish the production | presentation state currently performed at the time of a start. The same applies to the second embodiment.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the change determining means 190, when the production state is not the AT state and the AT reservation flag is not established, in the normal state, has won the bell role or the cherry role alone by the role lottery. When the current transition lottery data table selected is the normal table 141a or the high probability table 141b, or when the current mode is the normal A mode, the normal B mode, or the high probability mode. It may be determined by lottery whether the lottery data table is changed to the first decision table 141c and whether the mode is changed to the first decision mode. In this case, when the currently selected transfer lottery data table is the normal table 141a or the high probability table 141b, the change determining unit 190 determines to change the transfer lottery data table to the first confirmed table 141c. When it is done, the transfer lottery data table selection means 180 may change (rewrite) the transfer lottery data table to the first confirmation table 141c. In this case, when the current mode is the normal A mode, the normal B mode, or the high probability mode, when the change determining unit 190 determines to change the mode to the first confirmed mode, The determination unit 150 may change (rewrite) the mode to the first confirmation mode.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the normal game in which the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the normal effect state or the gasse sign effect state, in principle, almost every game and transition lottery are performed. It is not limited to. For example, in the normal A mode, when the count value of the game number counter is a predetermined value (for example, “5”, “10”, or a multiple of 3 (“3”, “6”,...)) You may make a lottery. That is, the execution mode of the transition lottery may be changed according to the current mode. Furthermore, the mode of execution of the transfer lottery may be changed according to the combination of the current mode and the transfer lottery data table. For example, when the current mode is the normal A mode and the transfer lottery data table is the normal table 141a, the transfer lottery is performed when the count value of the game number counter is “10”, “20” or “30”. When the current mode is the normal B mode and the transition lottery data table is the normal table 141a, the count value of the game number counter is a multiple of 3 (“3”, “6”,...) In addition, a transfer lottery may be performed.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the advantageous game is an AT game that notifies the player of the winning small role, but is not limited to this, for example, the winning probability of the re-gamer is in the normal state The replay time (RT) may be set differently. Further, for example, a challenge time (CT) that enables a so-called push-down operation by setting the number of sliding frames of at least one of the rotating reels 45 to one or one frame may be used.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the AT game is a game for notifying the player of the winning small role, but is not limited thereto. For example, as an AT game, there is a type in which a combination of symbols composing the selected winning combination is notified of the operation sequence of the stop switch 34 (so-called “push order”) that will be stopped and displayed on the effective winning line. is there.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. In addition, the present invention can be appropriately combined or rearranged with the above-described embodiments.
