[Normal lottery game]
In such a game machine 100, as described above, a normal lottery game, a preliminary lottery, a JP lottery game, and the like are executed. Therefore, first, the normal lottery game will be described. The normal lottery game includes, for example, a “slot game” and a “treasure game”. However, the normal lottery game is not limited to this.

<Slot game>
In the slot game, the display means 68 displays a plurality of reel images arranged vertically, horizontally and diagonally on the lower screen 12. When a medal enters the chucker of the pusher game unit 30, the display means 68 rotates and displays the reel image in the row corresponding to the color of the light emitting unit of the chucker containing the medal. Further, the display unit 68 displays the reel image that rotates at a predetermined timing so as to stop. The normal lottery game execution means 61 gives a prize according to the combination pattern of the reel images that are stopped and displayed.

  For example, eight numbers from 1 to 8 and nine kinds of symbols such as ball marks are displayed as a reel image. When the symbols of the reel images are aligned on any of a plurality of lines in which a plurality of reel images are arranged vertically, horizontally and diagonally, the normal lottery game executing means 61 gives a prize assigned to the reel images having the symbols aligned. .

  When the reel image with the symbols is “ball”, the normal lottery game executing means 61 supplies the ball (second game medium) to the game field of the pusher game unit 30. When this ball falls from the game field, the storage means 69 stores the number of dropped balls. When the number of balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, five), the normal lottery game execution means 61 grants the right to execute the preliminary lottery.

  When the reel images with the symbols are “1”, “3”, or “5”, the normal lottery game executing means 61 pays out a predetermined payout number of medals to the payout exit 22 and also displays on the upper screen 11. The number of player characters to be displayed is increased. As the number of player characters appearing increases, the number of medals paid out in the next slot game increases. Here, when the number of appearances of the player characters reaches a predetermined number, the normal lottery game executing means 61 executes a predetermined challenge game.

  When the challenge game is successful by a user operation input, the normal lottery game executing means 61 shifts the game mode of the slot game from the normal mode to the probability variation mode. Thereby, the normal lottery game execution means 61 makes the winning probability in the slot game after the next time higher than the winning probability in the current normal mode for a predetermined period. This makes it easier for the user to obtain medals and balls, and makes it easier to acquire the right to play the JP lottery game.

  Further, when the reel image having the symbols is “7”, the normal lottery game executing means 61 shifts to the probability variation mode without going through the challenge game. In addition, when the challenge game is further succeeded in the state in which the probability variation mode is already set or “7” is won in the slot game, the normal lottery game execution means 61 sets the current probability variation mode maintenance period. Extend.

  If the reel images with the symbols are “2”, “4” or “6”, the normal lottery game executing means 61 pays out a predetermined number of payout medals to the payout opening 22 and determines the number of player characters appearing. Decrease. As the number of player characters appearing decreases, the number of medals paid out in the slot game decreases.

  When the reel image with the symbols is “8”, the normal lottery game execution means 61 pays out a predetermined number of payout medals to the payout exit 22 and maintains the number of player characters appearing unchanged.

  When a predetermined condition is satisfied while the slot game is being executed, the normal lottery game executing means 61 may execute a predetermined “medal insertion game”. This medal insertion game is a game in which the enemy characters displayed on the screens 11 and 12 are subjugated to acquire medals. Specifically, the normal lottery game executing means 61 decreases the physical strength value of the enemy character according to the number of medals inserted from the insertion slot 21 by the user. When the physical strength value becomes zero, the normal lottery game executing means 61 determines that the medal insertion game is successful, and pays out a predetermined number of medals.

<Treasure game>
The treasure game is executed by the normal lottery game executing means 61 when the cumulative number of medals inserted from the insertion slot 21 by the user reaches a predetermined number for each satellite ST. This treasure game includes a mini game or a chucker game.

  The mini game is a so-called timing game in which the user needs to operate the button 23 of the operation unit 20 in accordance with the images displayed on the screens 11 and 12, for example. The normal lottery game execution means 61 determines that the mini game has been successful when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the normal lottery game execution means 61 pays out a predetermined number of medals and gives a predetermined item (treasure item). The display means 68 displays the assigned treasure item at a predetermined position on the screens 11 and 12.

  The chucker game is a game in which an enemy character is attacked by inserting a medal from the slot 21 and putting it in the chucker of the pusher game unit 30. For example, each time the normal lottery game execution means 61 detects that three medals have entered the chucker, the normal lottery game execution means 61 decreases the physical strength value of the enemy character displayed on the screens 11 and 12 by a predetermined value. The normal lottery game executing means 61 gives a medal and a treasure item as a success of the chucker game when it is determined that the physical strength value of the enemy character has become zero by a predetermined number of times (for example, three times) of attacks.

  The normal lottery game execution means 61 gives a treasure bonus when it is determined that the predetermined number of treasure items have been given in the treasure game. The treasure bonus is, for example, granting a medal, a ball, a prior lottery execution right, or a JP ticket (described later) of a JP lottery game. The storage unit 69 stores the number of granted balls and the number of JP tickets in the storage unit.

[Preliminary drawing]
Next, preliminary lottery will be described. For example, the preliminary lottery execution means 62 executes the preliminary lottery when the right to execute the preliminary lottery is granted in the normal lottery game. The right to execute the preliminary lottery is given as a treasure bonus when the number of balls acquired by the normal lottery game reaches a predetermined number (for example, five) or in the treasure game.

  The preliminary lottery is a lottery for acquiring the right to play the JP lottery game. This JP lottery game includes, for example, JP lottery game A, JP lottery game B, JP lottery game C, and JP lottery game D. Details of these will be described later.

  In the preliminary lottery, the first physical lottery unit 40 shown in FIG. 2A is used. When the first lottery ball 42 enters one of the first pockets 44 described above, a prize assigned to the first pocket 44 is won.

  The prize in the first pocket 44 in the first lottery prize area 451 is an award to which a right to play a JP lottery game to be selected is given.

  The award in the first pocket 44 in the second lottery prize area 452 is a prize to which a predetermined number of medals are paid out and a first JP item that is advantageous in the progress of the JP lottery game B is awarded. The assigned first JP item is stored in the storage unit by the storage unit 69 as the user status.

  The award in the first pocket 44 in the third lottery prize area 453 is an award in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  The prize in the first pocket 44 of the fourth lottery prize area 454 is a prize to which a JP step for granting the right to play the JP lottery game D is given.

  The award in the first pocket 44 in the fifth lottery prize area 455 is a prize to which a predetermined number of medals are paid out and a second JP item that is advantageous in the progress of the JP lottery game B is awarded. The assigned second JP item is stored in the storage unit by the storage unit 69 as the user status.

  The award in the first pocket 44 in the sixth lottery prize area 456 is a prize to which a predetermined number of medals are paid out and a third JP item that is advantageous in the progress of the JP lottery game B is awarded. The assigned third JP item is stored in the storage unit by the storage unit 69 as the user status.

[JP lottery game]
Next, the JP lottery game will be described. The JP lottery games include, for example, “JP lottery game A”, “JP lottery game B”, “JP lottery game C”, and “JP lottery game D”. However, the JP lottery game is not limited to this.

  The JP lottery game A, the JP lottery game B, the JP lottery game C, and the JP lottery game D are classified according to whether or not they are selection targets by the user. JP lottery games A, B, and C are JP lottery games to be selected by the user. The JP lottery game D is a JP lottery game that is not a selection target by the user.

  The JP lottery game A, JP lottery game B, JP lottery game C, and JP lottery game D are determined according to a method for determining a jackpot award (big win) dividend, a first dividend JP lottery game, a second dividend JP lottery game, or a first lottery game. It is classified as a 3-payout JP lottery game.

  The first payout JP lottery game and the second payout JP lottery game are JP lottery games for which a prize (so-called progressive JP) in which the number of medals is cumulatively increased from an initial value is selected. The third payout JP lottery game is a JP lottery game in which a prize that has a predetermined number of medals paid out and does not fluctuate is targeted for the lottery.

  More specifically, the first payout value (progressive payout), which is the number of medals to be paid out when winning the first payout JP lottery game, is set by the payout determination means 67 to a predetermined first initial value. It is determined by cumulatively adding the first additional values corresponding to the numbers. When a prize is won in the first payout JP lottery game and a progressive payout is paid out, the payout determination means 67 resets the first payout value to the first initial value.

  The first initial value is set in advance according to the prize that is a lottery target. The number of medals inserted to determine the first additional value is the total number of medals inserted in all satellites ST and is counted by the counting means 66. The number of medals inserted may be the number of medals inserted for each satellite ST.

  The first additional value is, for example, a value obtained by multiplying the number of medals inserted after the reset by a predetermined number, and corresponds to a cumulative number of medals inserted. The first additional value may be determined according to a so-called payout rate.

  The second payout value (progressive payout), which is the number of medals paid out when winning the second payout JP lottery game, is set to a predetermined second initial value by the payout determination means 67 according to the number of executions of the prior lottery. It is determined by adding additional values. When the execution of the second payout JP lottery game is completed, the payout determination means 67 resets the second payout value to the second initial value (that is, the second additional value becomes zero) regardless of whether or not the winning is achieved.

  The second initial value is set in advance according to a prize that is a lottery target. The number of executions of the preliminary lottery for determining the second additional value is the sum of the number of preliminary lotteries executed in all the satellites ST, and is counted by the counting means 66. The number of executions of the preliminary lottery may be the number of preliminary lotteries executed for each satellite ST.

  Specifically, the second additional value is a value obtained by multiplying the number of preliminary lotteries executed after the reset by a predetermined number, and corresponds to a number obtained by accumulating the predetermined number every time the preliminary lottery is performed. The second additional value may be determined according to a so-called payout rate.

<JP lottery game A>
The JP lottery game A is a game including a “first JP lottery game” and a “third JP lottery game”. In the JP lottery game A, the display means 68 displays on the upper screen 11 an image in which a roulette in which images of a plurality of enemy characters (attributes) are arranged is rotated. A prize is set for each enemy character, and the display means 68 displays the number of medals paid out corresponding to the prize. Further, the plurality of enemy characters to be displayed include JP enemy character A (big hit) corresponding to the jackpot prize, which is greater than the number of payouts in the normal lottery game, and other normal enemy characters. .

  In the JP lottery game A, the second physical lottery unit 50 shown in FIG. 2B is used. When the second lottery ball 54 enters the second pocket 53 described above, the display means 68 displays so that the roulette that rotates at that timing stops. At this time, a prize corresponding to an enemy character located near the instruction mark displayed on the upper screen 11 is won.

  When a prize corresponding to a normal enemy character is won, a predetermined number of medals (for example, 50 or 100) are paid out. On the other hand, when a prize corresponding to the JP enemy character A is won, medals with a larger number of payouts than the normal enemy character are paid out. The JP enemy character A includes, for example, a JP enemy character A1 and a JP enemy character A2.

  The JP lottery game A targeting the JP enemy character A1 is a third payout JP lottery game. Therefore, when this JP enemy character A1 wins, a predetermined number of payouts (for example, 500) which are fixed values are paid out.

  The JP lottery game A targeting the JP enemy character A2 is a first payout JP lottery game. Accordingly, when the JP enemy character A2 wins, the payout determination means 67 sets the first additional value (for example, 0 to the number of inserted medals) to a predetermined first initial value (for example, 1000) according to the number of inserted medals. .. Is multiplied to determine the first payout value. Then, the medal of the first payout value is paid out.

<JP lottery game B>
The JP lottery game B is a “second JP lottery game” whose setting is changed so that the winning probability is high when the user status at the time of execution satisfies a predetermined second condition. The predetermined second condition is that, for example, the first to third JP items acquired by the preliminary lottery are included as the user status (stored in the storage unit 69). By using any of the first to third JP items, the probability of winning in the JP lottery game B increases, and the JP lottery game B is likely to succeed.

  In the JP lottery game B, the JP lottery game execution means 65 uses a roulette game (first half game) using the first physical lottery unit 40 shown in FIG. 2A and a roulette game (second half) using the second physical lottery unit 50 shown in FIG. 2B. Execute battle).

  In the first half of the game, the JP lottery game execution means 65 determines the attack right of the user or the enemy character according to the lottery prize area 45 of the first pocket 44 containing the first lottery ball 42. For example, at first, the attack right of the user is associated with the three first pockets 44 in advance, and the attack right of the enemy character is associated with the remaining three first pockets 44 in advance.

  When winning in the first pocket 44 corresponding to the user's right of attack, a video in which the player character attacks the enemy character displayed on the screens 11 and 12 is displayed, and the physical strength value of the enemy character (screens 11 and 12) is displayed. 12) is decreased by a predetermined amount. The JP lottery game execution means 65 repeatedly executes a lottery a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). If the enemy character's stamina value becomes zero during this period, the JP lottery game execution means 65 determines that the first half of the game has been successful and executes the second half of the game.

  On the other hand, when the first lottery ball 42 wins the first pocket 44 corresponding to the enemy character's attack, the physical strength value of the enemy character does not decrease. For this reason, in a predetermined number of lotteries that are repeatedly executed by the JP lottery game execution means 65, the physical strength value of the enemy character may not be made zero. In this case, the JP lottery game execution means 65 determines that the first half game has failed and ends the JP lottery game B.

  Further, the JP lottery game executing means 65 has the first to third JP items acquired by the preliminary lottery when the JP lottery game B is started, and the user status satisfies the predetermined second condition. If it is determined, the setting is changed so that the progress in the first half of the game is advantageous.

  The first to third JP items are stored in the storage unit by the storage unit 69 in the order obtained in the preliminary lottery, and are used in the JP lottery game B in the order in which they are stored.

The first JP item is an item whose setting is changed so that the number of first pockets 44 corresponding to the user's attack right increases (for example, increases to four). That is, by having the first JP item as the user status, it is possible to increase the probability that the user acquires the right to attack.
The second JP item is an item whose setting is changed so as to increase the physical strength value of the enemy character that decreases due to the attack of the player character. That is, by having the second JP item as the user status, the physical strength value of the enemy character can be reduced more in one attack.

  The third JP item is an item whose setting is changed so that the number of first pockets 44 corresponding to the user's attack right increases and the physical strength value of the enemy character that decreases due to the attack is increased.

  In this way, the setting is changed so that the game progress is advantageous to the user according to the first to third JP items stored in the storage unit as the user status. This increases the chances of a successful first half.

  In the second half of the game, the display means 68 displays on the upper screen 11 an image of rotating roulette in which an image of the JP enemy character B of the jackpot award and an image showing a loss are arranged. The display means 68 displays the number of medals paid out corresponding to each of the JP enemy character B and the lose. Further, the display means 68 moves the upper screen 11 to expose the second physical lottery unit 50 so that it can be seen by the user.

  The second supply unit 52 of the second physical lottery unit 50 throws the second lottery ball 54 into the second game field 51. When it is detected that the second lottery ball 54 inserted by the second physical lottery unit 50 has entered the second pocket 53, the display means 68 stops the image of the rotating roulette displayed on the upper screen 11. Let At this time, winning or losing to the JP enemy character B is determined by an image located in the vicinity of the instruction mark displayed on the upper screen 11. When it is determined that the game has been lost, the JP lottery game execution means 65 pays out a predetermined number of payouts (for example, 200). On the other hand, when winning the JP enemy character B, the medal with the first payout value (number of payouts) determined by the payout determining means 67 is paid out.

  The JP lottery game B targeting the JP enemy character B is a first payout JP lottery game. Accordingly, the payout determination unit 67 adds a first additional value (for example, a value obtained by multiplying the number of inserted medals by 0.3) to a predetermined first initial value (for example, 1000). And the value which added the bonus value (for example, 300) with respect to the success of the first half game to this is determined as a 1st payout value. When the first payout is paid out, the payout determination means 67 resets the first payout value to the first initial value.

<JP lottery game C>

  In the JP lottery game D, the display means 68 moves the upper screen 11 to expose the second physical lottery unit 50 in a state visible to the user. In addition, the display means 68 displays on the upper screen 11 a video in which the roulette in which images indicating the JP enemy characters D1 and D2 and the loss of the jackpot prize are arranged is rotated. The display means 68 displays the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to each of the JP enemy characters D1, D2 and lose.

  When the second lottery ball 54 inserted in the second physical lottery unit 50 enters the second pocket 53, the display unit 68 stops the image of the rotating roulette displayed on the upper screen 11. At this time, the JP lottery game execution means 65 determines whether to win or lose the jackpot award according to the image located in the vicinity of the instruction mark displayed on the upper screen 11.

  The JP lottery game D for which the JP enemy character D1 is a lottery object is a first payout JP lottery game. Accordingly, when a prize corresponding to the JP enemy character D1 is won, the payout determination unit 67 adds a first additional value (for example, medal insertion) to a predetermined first initial value (for example, 1000) according to the number of medal insertions. A value obtained by adding (the value obtained by multiplying the number of sheets by 0.3) is determined as the first payout value. Then, when the medal with the first payout value is paid out, the payout determination unit 67 resets the first payout value to the first initial value.

  The JP lottery game D for which the JP enemy character D2 is a lottery object is a second payout JP lottery game. Therefore, when a prize corresponding to the JP enemy character D2 is won, the payout determination means 67 is a value obtained by adding a second additional value (for example, 50) according to the number of executions of the preliminary lottery to the predetermined second initial value. Is determined as the second payout value. When the execution of the second payout JP lottery game is finished, the payout determination means 67 resets the second payout value to the second initial value regardless of whether or not the winning is achieved (that is, the second additional value becomes zero). ).

[Game console operation]
Next, the operation of the game machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The operation of the game machine 100 is controlled by the control unit 60.

  First, the normal lottery game executing means 61 of the control unit 60 executes a normal lottery game such as a slot game and a treasure game (step S1). When winning in the slot game, the normal lottery game executing means 61 gives a prize assigned to the reel images arranged. In addition, when the treasure game mini-game and the chucker game are successful, the normal lottery game execution means 61 grants a medal, a ball, a JP ticket, or the right to execute a preliminary lottery as a treasure bonus.

  The determination unit 63 determines whether or not the execution right for the prior lottery has been granted (step S2). The right to execute the preliminary lottery is given as a treasure bonus in the normal lottery game, and when the number of balls given in the normal lottery game reaches a predetermined number (for example, five). There is. Here, until the prior lottery execution right is given (step S2: NO), the normal lottery game executing means 61 executes the normal lottery game (step S1).

  On the other hand, when the prior lottery execution right is given (step S2: YES), the preliminary lottery execution means 62 executes the preliminary lottery (step S3).

  When winning in the preliminary lottery, the determination unit 63 determines whether or not a prize to which the right to play the selection target JP lottery game (hereinafter, “JP selection right”) has been awarded (step S4).

  Here, when winning a prize that gives the right to play the JP lottery game to be selected (step S4: YES), the determination unit 63 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied. In other words, the predetermined condition in this case is given the right to execute the preliminary lottery in the normal lottery game (step S2: YES) and the right to play the JP lottery game to be selected in the preliminary lottery. Winning a prize (step S4: YES).

  The determination unit 63 determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied (step S5). Here, when the number of JP tickets awarded in the normal lottery game has not reached the predetermined number, the determination unit 63 determines that the first condition is not satisfied (step S5: NO). In this case, the JP lottery game C is not selected, and the display means 68 displays only the JP lottery game A and JP lottery game B on the screens 11 and 12 as selection targets (step S6).

  On the other hand, when the number of JP tickets has reached the predetermined number, the determination unit 63 determines that the first condition is satisfied (step S5: YES). In this case, the display means 68 displays the JP lottery game A, the JP lottery game B, and the JP lottery game C as selection targets on the screens 11 and 12 (step S7).

  In this way, the user views the JP lottery game to be selected displayed on the screens 11 and 12 and selects the JP lottery game desired to be played via the operation unit 20.

  Further, when the JP lottery game C is selected under the condition that satisfies the first condition (step S5: YES) (step S9: NO), the JP lottery game execution means 65 executes the JP lottery game C (step S9). S10).

  As described above, the JP lottery game C is a composite game of two JP lottery games (the contents of the JP lottery game A and the contents of the second half of the JP lottery game B). Therefore, a large amount of medals can be obtained by winning each JP enemy character. Thereby, the tension and excitement due to the competition among users are further increased.

  When the JP lottery game B is selected (step S9: YES), the JP lottery game execution means 65 executes the JP lottery game B (step S11). When the JP lottery game B is started, for example, when the first to third JP items acquired by the preliminary lottery are included, the determination unit 63 satisfies the predetermined second condition of the user status. (Step S12: YES). In this case, the normal lottery game executing means 61 changes the setting so that the progress in the first half of the JP lottery game B is advantageous (step S13).

  On the other hand, when the acquired first to third JP items are not included, the determination unit 63 determines that the user status does not satisfy the predetermined second condition (step S12: NO). In this case, the normal lottery game executing means 61 does not change the setting for the progress in the first half of the JP lottery game B.

  The number of payouts of the JP enemy character A and JP lottery game B of the JP lottery game A is much larger than the number of payouts of the normal enemy character and the normal lottery game. For this reason, in anticipation of this acquisition, the user's willingness to play increases, and the fun of the game is improved.

  Here, when a prize for which JP selection right is given in the preliminary lottery is not won (step S4: NO), the determination unit 63 determines whether or not a prize for which the JP step is given in the preliminary lottery has been won. (Step S14). Here, when winning a prize to which a JP step is given (step S14: YES), the determination unit 63 increases the cumulative number of JP steps stored in the storage unit by 1, and then sets the third condition. It is determined whether it is satisfied (step S15).

  When the cumulative number of JP steps reaches a predetermined number (for example, three), the determination unit 63 determines that the third condition is satisfied (step S15: YES). Then, the JP lottery game execution means 65 executes the JP lottery game D (step S16).

  The payout values of the JP enemy characters D1 and D2 of the JP lottery game D are larger than the number of payouts of the normal lottery game, etc., and the user's willingness to the game increases and the fun of the game is improved. Further, the second payout value of the JP enemy character D2 is based on the number of all users thrown in, and is reset by the winning of any user.
