That is, the role lottery means 210 is for performing a role lottery of winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to the operation of the start switch 34.
The combination lottery means 210 includes a plurality of lottery tables for determining whether or not a combination is won, and is stored in the ROM of the main control means 200. The role lottery means 210 compares predetermined lottery data with random numbers extracted from random numbers generated by predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won.

In the present embodiment, if a game is roughly classified, a “small role” (a role accompanied by a medal payout) and a “re-game” (a player can start the next game without using a player-owned medal). A combination, a so-called replay combination, and a “transition combination” (combination accompanied by a transition of the game state, for example, “bonus transition combination”) are provided. Among the combinations, the “bonus transfer combination” can be carried over to the next game.
The winning probability of the role lottery is set in a plurality of stages, in this embodiment, six stages (setting 1 to setting 6), and setting 1 is the lowest and setting 6 is the highest.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 controls the driving and stopping of each of the rotating reels 51 to 53 by controlling the driving of a driving source (not shown) such as a stepping motor of the reel unit 50.

Next, the “gaming state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “gaming state” is mainly controlled by the main control means 200 shown in FIG. 2, and for various effects, the sub-control means 300 receives signals (commands and information) from the main control means 200, and the sub-control means 300 controls the production according to the progress of the game.

The “game state” is roughly divided into the following games.
The next game will be described later.
(1) Normal game (2) Predictive game (3) Advantageous game The “game state” is not limited to the above (1) to (3), and “normal game” may include “predictive game”. Alternatively, “predictive game” may be included in “advantageous game”.

(Normal game)
The “normal game” is a game state excluding a so-called “advantageous game” described later.
In the “normal game”, a role lottery by the role lottery means 210 shown in FIG. 2 is executed. As a result of the role lottery, if a winning combination to “advantageous game” is won, the “predictive game” described later is given. In addition to the transition, if the player is elected to move to “precursor game”, the game also transitions to “precursor game”. In addition, if a winning role for “advantageous game” is selected and the corresponding symbols are prepared, the “advanced game” is transferred directly from “regular game” to “advanced game”. There is also a case.

(Prelude game)
The “predictive game” is a game state that suggests the player to shift to “advantageous game”. The “precursor game” is also simply called “precursor”.
When the transition to the “advantageous game” is triggered, the so-called “main sign” is called, and when the transition pattern is aligned, although not shown, through the so-called “preparation game” Transition to “advantageous game”. On the other hand, if the transition to the “predictive game” is not triggered by the election of the transitional role to the “predictive game”, the so-called “gase omen” is referred to as “predictive game”. After ending “,” return to “normal game”.

(Advantageous game)
“Advantageous game” is a game state that is more advantageous to the player than “normal game”.
The “advantageous game” includes the following game states.
The next gaming state will be described later.
(1) Bonus (2) ART
In addition, although the above-mentioned two game states were included in "advantageous game", it is not limited to this, either one may be sufficient.

(Bonus)
“Bonus” refers to an operating state of so-called “BB” and “RB”. The “bonus” is transferred by winning the “bonus combination” which is the transition combination in “normal game” or “predictor game”, and arranging the symbols corresponding to the “bonus combination”.
Here, “RB” is an abbreviation for “regular bonus” and refers to the operating state of the “actuating device” of the so-called “actual object”.
Here, “BB” is an abbreviation for “Big Bonus”, which means an operating state of a “continuous operation device” of a so-called “object”, and “RB” can be performed multiple times during “BB”. .
The “bonus” shifts to “normal game” after completion, except when shifting to “ART” described later.

(ART)
“ART” refers to a gaming state of a so-called “RT state” and “AT state”. “ART” is elected as “ART role” as a transitional role after transitioning to “AT state” when “AT role” is elected in “normal game”, “predictive game” or “bonus”, Shifts by aligning symbols corresponding to "ART combination".
Here, the “RT state” is also called a “replay time” and refers to a state in which the winning probability of the re-playing role (replaying role) is set higher than that of the “normal game”.
Here, the “AT state” is also called “assist time”, and the push order of the winning combination is notified by the combination lottery means 210 shown in FIG. 2, and the stop switches 35 to 37 are operated according to the notified push order. A state where the combination of symbols of the selected small part can be stopped and displayed by operating.
After “ART” is finished, the game shifts to “normal game”.
