Further, the second AT chance zone counter value that can be drawn in the second achievement lottery is not limited to the above-described numerical value, and may be, for example, “10 to 35”. Further, the second AT chance zone counter value that can be drawn in the second achievement lottery may be different from the first AT chance zone counter value that can be drawn in the first achievement lottery.

  Further, the third achievement lottery is performed by the achievement condition determining means 264 using the lottery table shown in FIG. In the third achievement lottery, the third AT chance zone counter value is determined from any one of “5”, “10”, “15”, “20”, and “25”. After the second achievement condition is satisfied, the third AT chance zone counter value determined in the third achievement lottery exceeds the third achievement condition, that is, the “specific condition” when the number of medals to be paid out during the mission performance exceeds. Is established.

  In the third achievement lottery of the present embodiment, among the winning probabilities of these third AT chance zone counter values, the winning probability of “5” is “20%”, the winning probability of “10” is “30%”, “ The winning probability of “15” is “25%”, the winning probability of “20” is “10%”, and the winning probability of “25” is “15%”.

  In addition, the winning probability of these third AT chance zone counter values in the third achievement lottery is not limited to the above-described probability, and the winning probability of the first AT chance zone counter value in the first achievement lottery or the second probability in the second achievement lottery. You may make it correspond with the winning probability of 2AT chance zone counter value. Further, the third AT chance zone counter value that can be drawn in the third achievement lottery is not limited to the above-described numerical value, and may be, for example, “10 to 35”. Further, the third AT chance zone counter value that can be drawn in the third achievement lottery may be the same as the first AT chance zone counter value or the second AT chance zone counter value that can be drawn in the first achievement lottery or the second achievement lottery.

  Note that the achievement condition determining means 264 in the present embodiment determines the first AT chance zone counter value to the third AT chance zone counter value by lottery using individual lottery tables. You may determine by the lottery using one lottery table containing the data of 1AT chance zone counter value-3rd AT chance zone counter value.

(AT chance zone game number update means 265)
The AT chance zone game number update means 265 updates the game period of the AT chance zone. In the present embodiment, the game period of the AT chance zone is set to “15 games”. The game period of the AT chance zone is not limited to 15 games, and may be more or less than this.

  The AT chance zone game number updating means 265 includes an AT chance zone game number counter that updates the game period of the AT chance zone. The AT chance zone game number updating means 265 obtains the AT chance zone game number counter value “15” corresponding to 15 games, which is the game period of the AT chance zone, in response to the transition of the production state to the AT chance zone. Set in the game number counter. Then, the AT chance zone game number updating means 265 subtracts “1” from the AT chance zone game number counter value every time one game period of the AT chance zone is consumed. When the AT chance zone game number counter value is “0”, in other words, when the “period end condition” in the present invention is satisfied, the AT chance zone ends, and the AT transition lottery means 272, which will be described later, responds according to the achievement stage. AT lottery is performed with the winning probability (see FIG. 13). If the AT lottery is not won, the normal state is entered (see FIG. 11).

  In the present embodiment, since the game period of the AT chance zone is set to 15 games, all mission effects have the same end condition. You may vary the game period of the AT chance zone every time.

(AT chance zone counter updating means 266)
The AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 updates the AT chance zone counter value determined by the achievement condition determining unit 264.
The AT chance zone counter updating means 266 updates the first AT chance zone counter for updating the first AT chance zone counter value, the second AT chance zone counter for updating the second AT chance zone counter value, and the third AT chance zone counter value. And a third AT chance zone counter.

That is, the AT chance zone counter updating means 266 sets each AT chance zone counter value determined in each achievement lottery by the achievement condition determining means 264 in the corresponding chance zone counter, and sets the number of medals to be paid out during the mission performance. Perform the corresponding subtraction.
Specifically, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 sets the first AT chance zone counter value determined in the first achievement lottery by the achievement condition determining unit 264 in the first AT chance zone counter. Then, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 subtracts the first AT chance zone counter value corresponding to the number of medals paid out during the mission effect.

  Further, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 sets the second AT chance zone counter value determined in the second achievement lottery by the achievement condition determining unit 264 in the second AT chance zone counter. Then, after the first AT chance zone counter value becomes “0”, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 subtracts the second AT chance zone counter value corresponding to the number of medals paid out during the mission effect.

  Further, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 sets the third AT chance zone counter value determined in the third achievement lottery by the achievement condition determining unit 264 in the third AT chance zone counter. Then, after the second AT chance zone counter value becomes “0”, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 subtracts the third AT chance zone counter value corresponding to the number of medals paid out during the mission effect.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the AT chance zone counter updating unit 266 corresponds to a numerical value corresponding to the number of payouts for the winning small combination based on the winning of the small winning combination during the mission effect. Although it is subtracted from the AT chance zone counter value, depending on the type of the winning combination, the player may work more advantageously than other winning combinations.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, during mission production, when a watermelon role or cherry role, which is a rare role among the small roles, is won and the selected watermelon role or cherry role wins, Compared to the case where a combination (for example, a combination of bells) wins, the player works more favorably. That is, in this case, a numerical value corresponding to the number of watermelon or cherry winnings is subtracted from the corresponding AT chance zone counter value by the AT chance zone counter updating means 266, but by the AT chance zone game number updating means 265 The AT chance zone game number counter in the game is not updated. In other words, when a rare role is won and the selected rare role wins, subtraction of the AT chance zone game number counter value is stopped for one game, and the AT chance zone game number counter value is not consumed. The AT chance zone counter value can be subtracted.

(Achievement stage determination means 267)
The achievement stage determination means 267 determines the achievement stage of the achievement condition corresponding to the mission stage achievement stage at the end of the AT chance zone game period.

  Here, the “arrival stage” in the present embodiment means a total value of each AT chance zone counter value updated until the AT chance zone game number counter value becomes “0”. For example, if the payout number of medals until the AT chance zone game number counter value of the mission effect is “0” is “35”, the AT chance zone game number counter value is “0”. Since the total value of the updated AT chance zone counter values is “35”, the arrival stage of the mission effect is “35”.

Further, as described above, the mission effect of the present embodiment is provided with three stages of achievement conditions, and is provided with three stages of achievement stages corresponding to the achievement conditions of each stage. Specifically, there is a first achievement stage as a stage where the first achievement condition is established, a second achievement stage as a stage where the second achievement condition is established, and a third achievement stage as a stage where the third achievement condition is established. There is.
Then, the achievement stage determination means 267 is the achievement stage of the achievement condition corresponding to the mission stage achievement stage at the time when the 15 games that are the game period of the AT chance zone are over, whichever of the first achievement stage to the third achievement stage. Determine if it is a stage.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12D, the mission A will be described by comparing the mission A with the mission B performed at a different opportunity from the mission A.
In mission A, the achievement condition determination means 264 determines that the first AT chance zone counter value is “10”, the second AT chance zone counter value is “15”, and the third AT chance zone counter value is “25”.
On the other hand, in mission B, the achievement condition determination means 264 determines that the first AT chance zone counter value is “30”, the second AT chance zone counter value is “15”, and the third AT chance zone counter value is “5”.

At this time, the first AT chance zone counter value and the third AT chance zone counter value are different between the mission A and the mission B, but the specific value is “50”, which is the same.
In this situation, it is assumed that the mission effects of the mission A and the mission B are the same in the arrival stage (for example, the arrival stage “35”), and each mission effect is completed after completing 15 games.

In this case, the achievement stage determination unit 267 determines that the achievement stage in the mission A is the second achievement stage (“10 <35”, “10 + 15 <35”, “10 + 15 + 25> 35”).
In this case, the achievement stage determination means 267 determines the achievement stage in the mission B as the first achievement stage (“30 <35”, “30 + 15> 35”).

  That is, in the present embodiment, even if the arrival stages of a plurality of mission effects (for example, “mission A” and “mission B”) are the same, the achievement stages of each of these mission effects may be different (for example, “Mission A” is the second achievement stage, and “Mission B” is the first achievement stage). In this case, based on the completion of the mission effect, according to the achieved achievement stage, a privilege is granted by the unreached privilege granting means 282 of the privilege granting means 280 described later.

As shown in FIG. 9, the transfer lottery means 270 performs an AT chance zone shift lottery means for performing a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “AT chance zone shift lottery”) as to whether or not to shift to the AT chance zone in the normal general state. 271; AT transition lottery means 272 for performing a lottery on whether or not to shift to the AT state in the normal state (hereinafter referred to as “AT lottery”); and lottery whether or not to shift to the extra chance zone in the ART normal state (Hereinafter referred to as “extra chance zone transfer lottery”), an extra chance zone transfer lottery means 273, and a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the additional special zone in the ART state (hereinafter referred to as “specialized zone transition lottery”) And a specialized zone shift lottery means 274.

(AT chance zone transfer lottery means 271)
The AT chance zone shift lottery means 271 performs an AT chance zone shift lottery in a normal general state. The AT chance zone shift lottery performed by the AT chance zone shift lottery means 271 is performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210. In the present embodiment, the AT chance zone shift lottery is performed based on the fact that a winning combination of cherry as a predetermined rare combination is won in the combination lottery performed by the combination lottery means 210. Note that the winning combination of the role lottery that becomes the lottery opportunity for the AT chance zone transfer lottery is not limited to the cherry role, but may be another combination. Further, the lottery opportunity of the AT chance zone shift lottery may be based on, for example, having consumed a predetermined number of games without being based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

(AT transfer lottery means 272)
The AT shift lottery means 272 performs AT lottery in a normal state. The AT lottery performed by the AT shift lottery means 272 is performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210 in the normal general state. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery performed in the normal general state is performed based on the winning of a cherry combination as a predetermined rare combination in the combination lottery performed by the combination lottery means 210. Note that the winning combination of the combination lottery that becomes the lottery opportunity of the AT lottery performed in the normal state is not limited to the cherry combination, but may be another combination. The lottery opportunity of the AT lottery performed in the normal general state may be based on, for example, digesting a predetermined number of games without being based on the winning combination of the lottery.

  On the other hand, the AT lottery performed by the AT shift lottery means 272 is performed at the end of the AT chance zone in the AT chance zone. Then, the winning probability of the AT lottery performed in the AT chance zone is determined by the privilege granting means 281 upon arrival of the privilege granting means 280 described later when the specific condition is satisfied in the mission effect in the AT chance zone. If the condition is not satisfied but at least one achievement condition is satisfied, it is determined by the non-achieved privilege grant means 282 of the privilege grant means 280 described later.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, when one achievement condition is established, that is, when the first achievement stage is achieved, an AT lottery prize is won as a benefit by the unachieved privilege granting means 282 described later. The probability is “25%”. In addition, when two achievement conditions are established, that is, when the second achievement stage is achieved, the winning probability of AT lottery is set to “50%” as a benefit by the unachieved privilege granting means 282 described later. Further, when three achievement conditions are established, that is, when a specific condition is established, a winning probability of AT lottery is set to “100%” as a privilege by the at-arrival privilege granting means 281 described later.

  If none of the achievement conditions is satisfied in the mission production in the AT chance zone, the unachieved privilege granting means 282 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery to “1%” (see FIG. 13). . In addition, the winning probability of the AT lottery as a privilege granted by the at-arrival privilege granting means 281 or the unachieved privilege granting means 282 is not limited to the above-described probability, and may be other probabilities. Further, if no achievement condition is satisfied in the mission production in the AT chance zone, the winning probability of the AT lottery may be set to “0%”.

(Additional chance zone transfer lottery means 273)
The extra chance zone shift lottery means 273 performs an extra chance zone shift lottery in the ART normal state. The extra chance zone shift lottery performed by the extra chance zone shift lottery means 273 is performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210. In the present embodiment, the extra chance zone shift lottery is performed based on the fact that a cherry role as a predetermined rare role is won in the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210. Note that the winning combination of the combination lottery that becomes the lottery opportunity for the extra chance zone shift lottery is not limited to the cherry combination, but may be another combination. Further, the extra chance zone shift lottery may be performed based on, for example, having consumed a predetermined number of games, without being based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

(Specialized zone transfer lottery means 274)
The special zone transfer lottery means 274 performs special zone transfer lottery in the ART state. The special zone transfer lottery performed by the special zone transfer lottery means 274 is performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the combination lottery means 210 in the ART normal state. In the present embodiment, the special zone transfer lottery performed in the ART normal state is performed based on the fact that a cherry role as a predetermined rare role is won in the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210. In addition, the winning combination of the combination lottery that becomes the lottery opportunity of the special zone transfer lottery performed in the ART normal state is not limited to the cherry combination, but may be another combination. Further, the lottery opportunity of the special zone transfer lottery performed in the ART normal state may be performed based on, for example, digesting a predetermined number of games without being based on the winning combination of the combination lottery.

  On the other hand, the special zone transfer lottery performed by the special zone transfer lottery means 274 is performed in each game in the extra chance zone in the extra chance zone. The special zone transfer lottery performed in the extra chance zone has a higher winning probability than the special zone transfer lottery performed in the ART normal state. The lottery opportunity for the special zone transfer lottery performed in the extra chance zone may be based on the winning combination of the combination lottery performed by the combination lottery means 210 or based on the fact that a predetermined number of games have been consumed. May be.

(Privilege grant means 280)
The privilege granting means 280 grants a privilege that is advantageous to the player at a predetermined opportunity.

  Here, the privilege in the present embodiment is “AT grant”. This “AT grant” is given according to the achievement stage of the mission effect. Specifically, if the achievement stage of the mission effect is “first achievement stage”, the winning probability of the AT lottery is “25%”, and if the achievement stage of the AT lottery is “second achievement stage”, the winning probability of the AT lottery is “50”. % ”And“ third achievement stage ”, the winning probability of the AT lottery is“ 100% ”(see FIG. 13). The “privileges” are not limited to those described above, and may be anything that can be advantageous to the player. For example, instead of or in addition to AT, “specialized zone provision” may be used.

  Further, the privilege granting means 280 in the present embodiment is the at-arrival privilege granting means 281 that grants a privilege as fulfillment of the specific condition when the specific condition is met, but at least one achievement is achieved when the specific condition is not met An unachieved privilege granting means 282 for granting a privilege as satisfaction of the achievement condition when the condition is satisfied.

(Meeting means 281 when reaching)
The at-arrival privilege granting means 281 grants a privilege as fulfillment of the specific condition when the specific condition is fulfilled.

  Specifically, the at-arrival privilege granting means 281 determines the AT chance zone counter updating means 266 before the AT chance zone game number counter value “15” updated by the AT chance zone game number updating means 265 becomes “0”. When the “first AT chance zone counter value”, “second AT chance zone counter value”, and “third AT chance zone counter value” updated by “0” become “0”, a privilege as satisfaction of the specific condition is given. As described above, the privilege in the present embodiment is “AT grant”, and the at-arrival privilege grant means 281 sets the winning probability of AT lottery to “100%” as a privilege for the establishment of the specific condition (FIG. 13). reference). Then, after the winning privilege granting means 281 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery to “100%”, the AT transition lottery means 272 performs the AT lottery and wins the AT lottery.

(Meeting means 282 when not achieved)
The unreached benefit granting means 282 grants a privilege as fulfillment of the achievement condition when the specific condition is not fulfilled but at least one achievement condition is fulfilled.

  Specifically, the unachieved privilege granting means 282 determines the achievement stage determination means 267 when the AT chance zone game number counter value “15” updated by the AT chance zone game number updating means 265 becomes “0”. As a result of the determination of the achievement stage of the achievement condition corresponding to the stage of achievement of the mission effect by means that it is determined that it is “first achievement stage” or “second achievement stage”, at least one achievement condition is satisfied Grant the benefits. As described above, the privilege in the present embodiment is “AT grant”.

  When the achievement stage determination means 267 determines that the achievement stage determination means 267 is in the “first achievement stage”, the unachieved bonus grant means 282 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery to “25%” as a privilege for the establishment of the first achievement condition. (See FIG. 13). In this case, the AT lottery probability is set to “25%” by the unachieved privilege granting means 282 and then the AT lottery is performed by the AT transition lottery means 272, and the AT lottery is performed with the probability of “25%”. Win.

Further, when the achievement stage determination means 267 determines that the unachieved privilege grant means 282 is the “second achievement stage”, the winning probability of the AT lottery is set as a benefit for satisfying the second achievement condition “ 50% "(see FIG. 13). In this case, the AT lottery probability is set to “50%” by the unachieved privilege granting means 282 and then the AT lottery is performed by the AT transition lottery means 272, and the AT lottery is performed with the probability of “50%”. Win.
As a result, even if the achievement stage of a plurality of mission effects is the same, if the achievement stage of each of the mission effects is different, the unreached benefit provision means 282 gives a different privilege for each mission effect. It is supposed to be.

  In addition, in this Embodiment, although it is supposed that a different privilege will be provided in each mission effect by changing the winning probability of AT lottery, the different privilege provided in each mission effect is not limited to this. . For example, different benefits may be given in each mission effect by determining the degree of advantage of the gaming period in the AT state given based on the achievement stage. That is, as the achievement stage is smaller, a different privilege may be given for each mission effect, for example, by shortening the game period of the AT state given at the time of winning the AT lottery.

Below, the case where the privilege given by the unachieved privilege grant means 282 changes for every mission effect is demonstrated. Specifically, the mission effect mission A and mission B shown in FIG.
Mission A is a pattern in which the achievement condition determination means 264 determines the first AT chance zone counter value to be “10”, the second AT chance zone counter value is “15”, and the third AT chance zone counter value is “25”. .

On the other hand, the mission B is a pattern in which the achievement condition determination means 264 determines that the first AT chance zone counter value is “30”, the second AT chance zone counter value is “15”, and the third AT chance zone counter value is “5”. It is.
At this time, the first AT chance zone counter value and the third AT chance zone counter value are different between the mission A and the mission B, but the specific value is “50”, which is the same.

  In this situation, it is assumed that the mission effects of the mission A and the mission B are the same in the arrival stage (for example, the arrival stage “35”), and each mission effect is completed after completing 15 games.

  In this case, the achievement stage determination unit 267 determines that the achievement stage in the mission A is the second achievement stage (“10 <35”, “10 + 15 <35”, “10 + 15 + 25> 35”). The unachieved privilege granting means 282 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery by the AT transition lottery means 272 as “50%” as a benefit based on the determination result of the achievement stage in mission A by the achievement stage determination means 267. (See FIG. 13). Then, after the unachieved privilege granting means 282 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery to “50%”, the AT transition lottery means 272 performs the AT lottery.

  In this case, the achievement stage determination means 267 determines the achievement stage in the mission B as the first achievement stage (“30 <35”, “30 + 15> 35”). Then, the unachieved privilege granting means 282 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery by the AT transition lottery means 272 as “25%” as a benefit based on the determination result of the achievement stage in the mission B by the achievement stage determining means 267. (See FIG. 13). Then, after the unachieved privilege granting means 282 sets the winning probability of the AT lottery to “25%”, the AT shift lottery means 272 performs the AT lottery.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the achievement stages of a plurality of mission effects are the same, the benefits given by the unreached benefit granting means 282 due to the different achievement stages of each mission effect. The superiority or inferiority of (assignment of AT) is different.

(Sub-control means 500)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub control unit 500 includes an effect execution control unit 510 and a notification unit 515. Details of each means will be described later.
With the above configuration, the sub-control unit 500 receives a signal from the main control unit 200 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 500 outputs data that specifies whether the LED is turned on or off to an LED drive circuit (not shown) for driving the effect lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84, or to output data defining audio to be output to an audio output circuit (not shown) for output Or output data that specifies

(Production execution control means 510)
The effect execution control means 510 is for executing an effect performed by the effect device 70.

  The production execution control means 510 performs production according to the winning combination based on the result of the combination lottery, production according to each game state such as normal game, RT game, bonus game, etc., production for notifying the push order, etc. Do. A plurality of these effects are provided, and the effect execution control means 510 selects a predetermined effect by lottery and executes the selected effect via the effect device 70. Further, the production execution control means 510 includes a notification means 515 in this embodiment in order to execute the production performed by the production device 70.

(Notification means 515)
The notification means 515 controls the display device 84 including the liquid crystal display device, the speaker 72, and the effect lamp 78 to notify various information to the outside.
The notification means 515 can notify the achievement effect that enables the player to recognize that the achievement condition is satisfied based on the achievement condition being satisfied.

Here, the achievement effect in the present embodiment is “disappearance of the achievement barometer T” shown in FIGS. 14 to 16.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (A), FIG. 15 (A) and FIG. 16 (A), from the start of the mission effect until before the establishment of the first achievement stage, the notification means 515 The achievement barometer T is displayed on the “three” display device 84. When the first achievement stage is established, the bottom achievement barometer T1 shown in FIGS. 14A, 15A, and 16A disappears, that is, the notification means 515 causes the bottom achievement stage T1 to disappear. The notification of the achievement barometer T1 is terminated.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14B, FIG. 15B, and FIG. 16B, the notification means 515 achieves after the first achievement stage until before the second achievement stage. The barometer T is displayed on the “two” display device 84. When the second achievement stage is established, the lower achievement barometer T2 shown in FIGS. 14B, 15B, and 16B disappears, that is, the lower achievement is achieved by the notification means 515. The notification of the barometer T2 is terminated.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14C, FIG. 15C, and FIG. 16C, the notification means 515 achieves the period from the establishment of the second achievement stage to the establishment of the third achievement stage. The barometer T is displayed on the “one” display device 84. When the third achievement stage is established, the remaining one achievement barometer T3 shown in FIG. 14C, FIG. 15C and FIG. Notification of the two achievement barometers T3 is ended (see FIG. 14D and FIG. 15D).

  Further, the notification means 515 needs to indicate a threshold value for at least the current stage achievement condition to be established based on the establishment of a notification condition that triggers notification of predetermined information during execution of the mission effect. Information can be notified. At this time, the “notification condition” in the present embodiment is that the player operates the effect button switch 42 as the effect operation means. The “production operation means” is not limited to the production button switch 42 as long as it can be operated by the player. For example, the start switch 40 and the stop switch 50 may be used as “production operation means”.

  In the present embodiment, the notification means 515 is based on the operation of the effect button switch 42 as shown in FIGS. 14 (A ′) to (C ′) and FIGS. 15 (A ′) to (C ′). The necessary information indicating the AT chance zone counter value at the current stage is displayed in the achievement barometer T displayed by the display device 84, but is not limited thereto. That is, the notification unit 515 may display necessary information indicating the AT chance zone counter values of all the unachieved achievement conditions.

  In addition, the notification means 515 can notify the explanation information related to the mission effect during execution of the mission effect. In the present embodiment, a plurality of explanation information is provided, and the notification unit 515 causes the display device 84 to sequentially display the plurality of explanation information during the execution of the mission effect.

  At this time, as “explanatory information” in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16A, the winning probability of AT lottery when each achievement stage is established, and the AT in the mission effect shown in FIG. When the chance zone counter is subtracted, when the predetermined rare combination (for example, cherry combination) shown in FIG. 16 (C) is drawn, and when the final game shown in FIG. There is a preferential treatment for subtraction. The “description information” is not limited to the information described above, and may be other information. Further, the number of “explanation information” notified by the notification means 515 during execution of the mission effect may be larger or smaller than the number described above.

(Description of gaming state using FIG. 10)
Next, the “game state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “game state” is managed by the main control means 200, and as shown in FIG. 10, there are “normal game”, “RT game”, and “bonus game”. “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when “RT game” is entered, a lottery probability of winning a re-game player, that is, a re-game probability increases.

The probability of winning a re-game player in each game is set to “1 / 7.3” in “normal game”, higher than “normal game” in “RT game”, and “bonus game” Is set lower (RBB1, 2) or higher (RBB3-5) than “normal game”.
The “normal game” is controlled by the normal game control means 251 and includes “RT0” and “RT1”.

  Transition from “RT0” to “RT1” is made when the AT role spilling symbol is stopped and displayed. Here, the “AT role spilled design” is not shown, but for example, when the first stop on the left wins the incorrect bell role, and the incorrect push order (stop switch 50 is operated with the first left stop) It is a symbol that is stopped and displayed. In “RT0”, push order navigation is not executed, and the player operates the stop switch 50 with the left first stop. Therefore, for example, when the “left first incorrect answer” is selected, the AT role spilling symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT1”.

“RT game” is controlled by the RT control means 252, and “RT2”, which has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than “normal game”, and a symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus gamer who has won the bonus gamer There is a “bonus inside” (RTBB 1 when winning RBB1, 2 and RT4 when winning RBB3-5), which is shifted when the stop display cannot be made on the line 86.
Here, the transition from “normal game” to “RT game”, specifically, from “RT1” to “RT2”, is performed when the RT2 transition symbol is stopped and displayed. For example, although not shown, the transition is made when the RT2 transition symbol is stopped and displayed in the push order “correct answer” of the push order replay combination.

  If the AT role spilling symbol or the fall replay symbol is stopped and displayed in “RT2”, the process proceeds to “RT1”. Here, “AT role spilled design” means, for example, that the first stop on the left wins the incorrect answer and stops when the wrong answer is pressed (operating the stop switch 50 with the first left stop). It is a displayed symbol. For example, if the production state in “RT2” is the AT state of FIG. 11, the push order is notified, but when the AT state ends, the push order is not notified, and the player is in the normal push order, that is, the stop switch. Since 50 is operated with the left first stop, even if the left first stop is won as an incorrect answer, the AT role spilling symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT1”.

“Bonus inside” is controlled by the bonus inside inside control means 253, and shifts when a bonus transition combination is won.
The “bonus game” is controlled by the bonus game control means 254, and shifts by aligning “bonus symbols” with “inside bonus”.

“Bonus games” include “RBB1” to “RBB5”. Here, “RBB1” and “RBB2” are continuously operated by so-called “BB”, and are finished when a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 239 are paid out. In addition, “RBB3”, “RBB4”, and “RBB5” are continuously operated by so-called “RB”, and are finished when a predetermined number of medals, for example, 85 medals are paid out.
Then, after the “bonus game” is completed, the process proceeds to “RT0”.

(Description of the production state using FIG. 11)
As shown in FIG. 11, the production state has a “normal state” and an “AT state”.

(Normal state)
The “normal state” is a state excluding a special state such as an “AT state” to be described later, and the “normal state” includes a “normal general state” and an “AT chance zone”. Note that the type and number of “normal states” are not limited to those described above.

(Normal general condition)
The “normal general state” is a state excluding a special state such as an “AT chance zone” described later of the “normal state”.

(AT chance zone)
The “AT chance zone” is a state set so as to make it easier to shift to the “AT state” by setting the winning probability of the AT lottery higher than the “normal general state”.
From the “normal general state” to the “AT chance zone”, in the normal general state, based on the winning combination of the winning lottery performed by the winning lottery means 210, the AT chance zone transfer lottery 271 was won. Migrate to the case.

In the “AT chance zone”, AT lottery is performed by the AT transition lottery means 272 at the end of the AT chance zone, and when the AT lottery is won, the state shifts to an “AT state” described later.
On the other hand, if the AT lottery performed by the AT shift lottery means 272 is not won at the end of the AT chance zone, the process returns to the “normal general state”. The winning probability of this AT lottery is determined based on the achievement stage of the mission effect (see FIG. 13).

  The “normal state” is provided with an “AT chance zone precursor state” consisting of a predetermined number of games when the AT chance zone transition lottery is won and the transition to the “AT chance zone” is confirmed. You may make it transfer to "AT chance zone" after passing through a "chance zone precursor state".

(AT state)
The “AT state” is a state more advantageous to the player than the “normal state”. When the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified is started, and the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notified pressing order, whereby the selected small role or replay The combination of symbols of the combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

  As the “AT state”, there are an “ART state” and an “addition-specific zone”. The type and number of “AT states” are not limited to those described above.

(ART state)
The “ART state” is a state more advantageous to the player than the “normal state”. When the state shifts to the “ART state”, an AT game, which is a game in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified, and RT2 are started, and the winning is performed by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified pressing order. A combination of symbols of a small role can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.
The transition from the “normal state” to the “ART state” is made when the AT lottery performed by the AT shift lottery means 272 is won in the normal state.

  In the present embodiment, the “ART state” is set so that 50 games can be played. After the 50 games have been consumed, the AT game during ART is terminated, and the AT role is spilled (falling replay). When is displayed, return to the “normal state”. That is, when 50 games are consumed, since the AT game is set to be terminated in ART (AT + RT), the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is terminated, and accordingly, the fall replay symbol is displayed. The order of pressing the stop switch 50 that avoids the display is not notified, and as a result, when the fall replay symbol is displayed, the process returns to the “normal state”. That is, the fall replay symbol is a symbol 61 that is stopped and displayed when the stop switch 50 is operated with the first left stop. Since the AT game is finished, the push order is not notified, and the player operates the stop switch 50 at the first left stop, so that the fall replay is displayed in a symbol stop state and the state shifts to the “normal state”.

  The “ART state” is a state excluding a special state such as an “addition special zone” described later, and “ART state” and “addition chance zone” are provided as the production state of the “ART state”. Prepare.

(ART normal state)
The “ART normal state” is a state excluding a special state such as an “additional chance zone” described later. In this “ART normal state”, the extra chance zone transfer lottery is performed by the extra chance zone shift lottery means 285 based on the winning combination of the combination lottery performed by the combination lottery means 210. In the “ART normal state”, the special zone transfer lottery means 274 performs the special zone transfer lottery based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the combination lottery means 210. The winning probability of the special zone transfer lottery performed in the ART normal state is set lower than the winning probability of the special zone transfer lottery performed in the extra chance zone.

(Additional chance zone)
In the “additional chance zone”, by setting the winning probability of the special zone transfer lottery performed by the special zone transfer lottery means 274 to be higher than the “ART normal state”, the transition to the “extra special zone” is facilitated. It is a set state.
The transition from the “ART normal state” to the “extra chance zone” is made when the extra chance zone transition lottery performed by the extra chance zone transition lottery means 285 is won in the ART normal state.

In this “additional chance zone”, a special zone transfer lottery is performed by the special zone transfer lottery means 274 in each game. In addition, the winning probability of the special zone transfer lottery performed in the extra chance zone is set higher than the winning probability of the special zone transfer lottery performed in the ART normal state.
If the special zone shift lottery is not won while staying in the extra chance zone, the game returns to the “ART normal state” after the predetermined number of games in the extra chance zone is exhausted.

(Addition special zone)
The “additional special zone” is a predetermined number of games, a game section of an ART game by the additional game control means 269, in this embodiment, whether or not to add to the number of games of an ART game, and an additional game when adding This is an effect state in which the number is determined by lottery.

The transition from the “ART state” to the “additional special zone” is made when the special zone transfer lottery performed by the special zone transfer lottery means 274 is won in the ART state.
Then, after the predetermined number of games in the added special zone is consumed, the state returns to the “ART normal state”.

(Description of the game in the AT chance zone according to the present embodiment using FIGS. 12 and 14 to 16)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 12 and FIGS. 14 to 16, a description will be given after omitting a part overlapping with the above-described content regarding the game in the AT chance zone of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 12D, the first AT chance zone counter value and the third AT chance zone counter value are different between mission A and mission B, but the same value is obtained when the specific value is “50”. Yes.
Under these circumstances, mission A and mission B ended with 15 games, which are the game periods of each AT chance zone, in the same arrival stage “35”.

  At this time, since the achievement stage in the mission A is the second achievement stage, in the mission A, the winning probability of the AT lottery by the AT transition lottery means 272 is set to “50%” as a privilege by the unachieved privilege granting means 282. It is set (see FIG. 13).

  In addition, since the achievement stage in mission B is the first achievement stage, in mission B, the winning probability of AT lottery by the AT transition lottery means 272 is set to “25%” as a privilege by the bonus granting means 282 when not achieved. (See FIG. 13).

  In other words, in the present embodiment, even if the arrival stages of a plurality of mission effects are the same, the achievement stages of the respective mission effects may be different. And in this Embodiment, as a result of giving a privilege by the unachieved privilege grant means 282 according to the achieved achievement stage based on the completion of the mission effect, as described above, With the mission B, the winning probability of the AT lottery given as a privilege is different.

(Various productions performed during mission production)
Although not specifically described in the items of mission A and mission B described as an example above, even in the above case, during the mission performance, execution of the achievement effect, necessary information and explanation by the notification means 515 Information notification is to be performed.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (A) and FIG. 15 (A), both the mission A and the mission B are performed by the notification means 515 from the start of the mission effect until before the establishment of the first achievement stage. The achievement barometer T is to be displayed on the “three” display device 84.

  In mission A, since the achievement stage has been established up to the second achievement stage, first, based on the establishment of the first achievement stage, the bottom achievement barometer T1 shown in FIG. By means 515, the notification of the lowermost achievement barometer T1 is terminated as an achievement effect. Subsequently, in mission A, the lower achievement barometer T2 shown in FIG. 14B disappears based on the establishment of the second achievement stage, that is, the lower achievement barometer as an achievement effect by the notification means 515. Notification of T2 is to be terminated.

On the other hand, in mission B, since the achievement stage has been established up to the first achievement stage, the bottom achievement bar T1 shown in FIG. By means 515, the notification of the lowermost achievement barometer T1 is terminated as an achievement effect.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 14 (A ′) to (C ′) and FIGS. 15 (A ′) to (C ′), both the mission A and the mission B are notified by the notification means 515 during the execution of the mission effect. Necessary information is notified based on the fact that the condition is established.

  Specifically, in the mission A, from the start of the mission effect to before the establishment of the first achievement stage based on the player operating the effect button switch 42 as a notification condition. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (A ′), “10” is displayed as necessary information. In mission A, the player operates the effect button switch 42 as a notification condition, and after the first achievement stage is established until before the second achievement stage is established. As shown in FIG. 14 (B ′), “15” is displayed as necessary information. Further, in mission A, based on the fact that the player has operated the production button switch 42 as a notification condition, between the establishment of the second achievement stage and the establishment of the third achievement stage. As shown in FIG. 14C ′, “25” is displayed as necessary information.

  On the other hand, in the mission B, on the basis of the fact that the player has operated the effect button switch 42 as a notification condition, from the start of the mission effect to before the establishment of the first achievement stage, As shown in 15 (A ′), “30” is displayed as necessary information. In mission B, the player performs the operation of the effect button switch 42 as a notification condition, and after the first achievement stage is established until before the second achievement stage is established. As shown in FIG. 15 (B ′), “15” is displayed as necessary information.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16, for both mission A and mission B, the notifying means 515 notifies the explanation information regarding the mission effect. FIG. 16 shows the explanatory information notified in mission A as an example, but the explanatory information is also notified in other mission effects such as mission B as in FIG. .

Specifically, for both mission A and mission B, the winning probability of the AT lottery when each achievement stage is established in the explanation information is “25%” when the first achievement stage is established, and the second achievement stage. The notification means 515 notifies that “50%” is established and “confirmed (100%)” is established when the third achievement stage is established (see FIG. 16A). .
Further, in both the mission A and the mission B, the notifying means 515 notifies that the payout number of each game is subtracted from the AT chance zone counter as an opportunity to subtract the AT chance zone counter in the mission effect in the explanation information. (See FIG. 16B).

Further, in both the mission A and the mission B, as a mode in which a predetermined rare combination is drawn out of the explanation information, when the cherry combination is won, and the selected cherry combination wins, one game worth of AT chance The notification means 515 notifies that the game period of the zone is held (temporarily interrupted) (see FIG. 16C).
For both mission A and mission B, the notifying means 515 notifies that the AT chance zone counter is subtracted twice compared to other games in the AT chance zone at the time of the final game. (See FIG. 16D).

(Operational effect of the present embodiment)
In the present embodiment, there are a mission A and a mission B in which at least the same specific conditions are set, and the distinction between advantageous and unfavorable is not made in advance between the mission A and the mission B.

  However, in the present embodiment, when 15 games that are the game period of the AT chance zone are completed without satisfying the specific condition, even if the arrival stage of mission A and the arrival stage of mission B are the same, Since the achievement stage of the achievement condition of mission A is different from the achievement stage of the achievement condition of mission B, the privilege granted by the unachieved privilege granting means 282 is different.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to preliminarily determine the advantage / disadvantage between mission effects and set the appearance rate of advantageous mission effects low in consideration of the appearance rate between mission effects. In other words, according to the present embodiment, since the privilege granted by the unachieved privilege granting means 282 is determined based on the achievement stage of the achievement condition of the executed mission rendering, the mission rendering is performed before the mission rendering is performed. This is because it is not necessary to consider the appearance rate between mission performances by determining the advantages and disadvantages of the mission. In addition, according to the present embodiment, even if the achievement stage between mission effects is the same, the achievement stage of the achievement condition between mission effects differs, and thus the privilege granted between mission effects is different. Therefore, it is possible to change the advantage of the privilege that can be acquired between mission effects.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, even if a specific condition is not satisfied in the mission effect, a privilege can be given to the player according to the achievement stage of the achievement condition of the mission effect. A sense of expectation can be generated and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, it can be recognized irrespective of the kind of mission effect that the achievement condition was satisfied. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the player's understanding of the mission effect can be accelerated, the interest in the mission effect can be raised, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to notify at least the necessary information at the current stage by the notifying unit 515 based on the fact that the notifying condition is satisfied during execution of the mission effect. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, during the mission production until the necessary information is notified, the current stage threshold cannot be recognized and the current achievement condition cannot be recognized. You can be thrilled at the progress and you can enhance the fun of the game. In addition, according to the present embodiment, when at least the necessary information at the current stage is notified by the notification means 515, the player can recognize the current achievement condition, so that compared to a configuration in which the necessary information is not notified. Therefore, it is possible to deepen the understanding of the mission performance and enhance the interest of the game.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the notification condition can be established when the player operates the effect button switch 42 as the effect operation means. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the player can know the necessary information by operating the production button switch 42 based on his / her own desire to know the necessary information. You can know necessary information freely by your own will according to the development of the game.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the explanation information can be notified by the notification means 515 during the execution of the mission effect. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the player can acquire explanation information related to the currently performed mission effect, so that the understanding of the mission effect is deepened compared to a configuration in which the explanation information is not notified. Can increase the interest of the game.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the achievement condition determining means 264 takes a complicated determination method when determining the threshold value of the first achievement condition, the threshold value of the second achievement condition, and the threshold value of the third achievement condition. There is no need. That is, according to the present embodiment, the achievement related to the lottery independently from the lottery table independent of the first achievement condition, the second achievement condition, and the third achievement condition, regardless of the lottery results of other achievement conditions. Since the conditions are determined, there is no need to provide a complicated lottery table. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the achievement condition determination means 264 combines the thresholds for each of these achievement conditions determined independently for the first achievement condition, the second achievement condition, and the third achievement condition. Many aspects of the achievement condition in the mission effect can be provided.

(First modification)
(Overview)
Hereinafter, the description of the first modified example of the present embodiment will be omitted with the description overlapping with the present embodiment.
In the first modification, the “specific value” is determined by a method in which the total value of the first AT chance zone counter value, the second AT chance zone counter value, and the third AT chance zone counter value is set as the “specific value”. This is different from the embodiment.

  Specifically, the “specific value” in the first modification is set in advance. The “specific value” in the first modification is set to “50”. That is, in the first modified example, by paying out “50 medals” during the mission effect, a specific condition in the mission effect is established. The “specific value” in the first modification is not limited to “50”, and may be more or less than this.

In the first modification, the set specific value “50” is assigned to three threshold values by the achievement condition determining means 264 when the mission effect is executed, and the three assigned threshold values are assigned to the first AT chance zone. The counter value, the second AT chance zone counter value, and the third AT chance zone counter value are set.
Specifically, the first AT chance zone counter value related to the first achievement condition and the second AT chance zone counter value related to the second achievement condition in the first modified example are the first achievement lottery by the achievement condition determining means 264 or It is determined by the second achievement lottery (see FIGS. 17A and 17B).

On the other hand, the third AT chance zone counter value according to the third achievement condition in the first modification is not determined by lottery, but is determined by the first achievement lottery or the second achievement lottery from a specific value. It is determined by subtracting the 1AT chance zone counter value and the second AT chance zone counter value.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17C, the third AT chance zone counter value is determined by the achievement condition determining means 264 from the specific value “50” and determined in the first achievement lottery. It is determined by subtracting the counter value and the second AT chance zone counter value determined in the second achievement lottery.

  In the first modification, a plurality of specific values such as “30”, “40”, or “50” may be provided, and the specific value itself may be selected by lottery. Then, in the first achievement lottery and the second achievement lottery by the achievement condition determining means 264, the first AT chance zone counter value and the second AT chance zone counter value are determined, and the third AT chance zone counter value is determined from the specific value. It may be determined by subtracting the first AT chance zone counter value and the second AT chance zone counter value. In this case, the achievement condition determination means 264 includes a lottery table corresponding to a plurality of specific values, and performs the first achievement lottery and the second achievement lottery using the lottery table corresponding to the selected specific value. It has become.

(Description of the game in the AT chance zone according to the first modification using FIG. 17)
Hereinafter, a game in the AT chance zone of the gaming machine 10 according to the first modification will be described with reference to FIG.
