In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a winning combination table in which the winning probability for each winning combination is determined as an allocation range of the winning combination determination random numbers. The winning combination determination random number is generated in the main control board 40. Note that the random number used as the winning combination determining random number may be a hardware random number or a software random number.

  The winning combination determination table is used in the winning combination lottery. The winning combination table includes a winning combination table used in the first general game and a winning combination table used in the second general game.

  In the winning combination lottery, the type of winning combination or winning combination is determined. That is, since the type of the winning combination is determined by the winning combination lottery, this corresponds to determining whether or not to allow the winning combination lottery to display the symbol combination associated with the prize. Furthermore, in the winning combination lottery, this corresponds to determining the types of display results that are allowed to be displayed.

  In the winning combination table used in the first general game, the 11th winning combination, the 21st winning combination, the 31st winning combination to the 33rd winning combination, the 41st winning combination to the 45th winning combination and Each winning probability of the 51st winning combination is defined.

Next, the sub control board 41 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 41a, and writing of necessary data. A sub-control RAM 41c capable of reading is provided. The effect display device 14 is connected to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, a decoration lamp La is connected to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, a speaker Sp is connected to the sub control CPU 41a.

  A sub control program is stored in the sub control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub control ROM 41b has a display effect pattern showing the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern showing the sound output mode of the speaker Sp, and a light emission effect pattern showing the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La. Is remembered.

  Various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot machine 10 is stored (set) in the sub-control RAM 41c. Specifically, the sub control RAM 41c stores sub status information (such as a flag) regarding the internal control status by the sub control CPU 41a.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When receiving a control signal indicating that the main control CPU 40a is operated from various buttons or the like, the main control CPU 40a executes a predetermined control determined by the control signal. The main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 17 each time by inputting various control signals and performing various controls. Further, when award medal is awarded, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when the credit upper limit number is exceeded, and pays out one award medal every time the drive signal is output. To control. Note that the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when paying out credits, and controls to pay out medals for the credits.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the bet number when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when a control signal is input from each of the BET buttons 19 and 20. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 are operated. Further, when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits. Then, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game in each general game can be performed when the bet number of 3 bets is set.

  Subsequently, when the control signal from the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started, the main control CPU 40a performs a winning combination lottery. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs the winning combination lottery with the start operation.

  The main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number, determines whether or not the value belongs to the range of each winning combination value in the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b, A lottery for the winning role will be held. In the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination to be won using the winning combination determination table corresponding to the internal control state. In addition, when no winning combination is won in the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a loss. In other words, in the winning combination lottery, the type of winning or winning combination is determined.

  When the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination, the main control RAM 40c stores result display information (such as a flag) that can identify a symbol combination that is allowed to be stopped and displayed in the determined winning combination (such as a flag). Setting).

  Incidentally, the main control CPU 40a is a result display information that can identify a symbol combination that is allowed to be stopped and displayed in the determined winning combination by the end of the variable game that is the target of the winning combination lottery that has determined the winning combination. Is erased (cleared). In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, there is no result display information that can identify the stop stop eye, and when the result display information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, it is determined that the main control CPU 40a is out of place. Is configured to be identified. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that determines the symbol combination (display result) that is allowed to be displayed by performing the winning combination lottery functions as an allowance determining unit and a predetermining unit.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a gives an instruction to start a variable game when a control signal is input from the start lever 22 (after performing a predetermined process such as a winning combination lottery). Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the sub control CPU 41a a lottery result of the winning combination lottery and a variable game start command indicating an internal control state in which the variable game is performed. The main control CPU 40a inputs the control signal from the start lever 22 and starts to rotate the reels 13L, 13C, 13R in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game. The reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are controlled. Incidentally, the variable game start command to the sub-control CPU 41a can be output in accordance with the start of rotation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R.

  Subsequently, when the control signal from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the control signal. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on the rotation position and stop position of each reel based on the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to specify the rotation state of each reel while each reel is rotating, while each reel is not rotating (stopped). The main control CPU 40a is made to identify the stop state. The main control CPU 40a does not perform stop control for the rotating reel until a control signal is input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  Further, when receiving a control signal from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs various control signals corresponding to the control signal to the sub control CPU 41a. The control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R cause the sub-control CPU 41a to grasp the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, that is, which stop button is operated and the order in which the stop buttons are operated. .

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated based on the winning combination. Stop the symbol combination. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel being rotated, the stop control stored in the main control ROM 40b according to the winning combination selected and the operation order of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R. Based on the control data for use, stop control for stopping and displaying the symbol combination is performed. The main control CPU 40a may perform stop control using different stop control data depending on the operation order of the three stop buttons, even in a situation where the same winning combination is won. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control to stop the rotation of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R as the rotating body functions as a stop control unit.

  Incidentally, in the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, each reel can be displayed on the winning line L1 in such a manner that all symbol combinations including the stop stop eye can be stopped no matter what timing the stop button is operated. The symbols are arranged. For this reason, the pachi-slot 10 does not perform stop control in consideration of the timing at which the stop button is operated, but may be configured to perform stop control in consideration of the operation timing of the stop button. In such a configuration, the main control CPU 40a performs stop control using stop control data (control information) corresponding to the operation timing of the stop button.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when the rotation of all the reels 13L, 13C, 13R is stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a reads the result display information from the main control RAM 40c, and determines whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the read result display information is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 from the position signal that is input as the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R stop rotating, and the symbol combination. Is a symbol combination that is permitted to be stopped and displayed in the result display information.

  In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a stops at the result display information when the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is a symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed by the result display information. The winning of a combination of symbols allowed to be displayed (a winning of a combination) is determined. On the other hand, if the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is not a symbol combination that is permitted to be stopped and displayed in the result display information, the main control CPU 40a in the winning determination makes a stop display on the result display information. Non-winning (non-winning of a combination) of a symbol combination that is allowed to be determined is determined.

  The main control CPU 40a performs control to give a prize associated with the symbol combination when determining the winning of the symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed by the result display information in the winning determination. Further, when determining the symbol combination winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command for instructing the symbol combination determined to be winning to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  The main control CPU 40a performs control to give four medals as award medals when determining the cherry stop-winning prize. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control to give six medals as award medals when determining whether to win a watermelon stop. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control to give eight medals as award medals when determining the winning of the bell stop.

  The main control CPU 40a performs control to give a replay when determining the winning of the normal replay stop. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a re-game when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a re-game when determining the winning of the fall replay stop. As a control for giving a replay, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined. Incidentally, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the internal control state, which will be described later, when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop or determining the winning of the falling replay stop.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of how the main control CPU 40a transitions between a plurality of internal control states related to the progress of the game.
When shifting the internal control state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the transfer-destination internal control state to the sub-control CPU 41a. By inputting the state instruction command, the sub control CPU 41a can specify the internal control state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  The main control CPU 40a shifts to the second general game when determining the winning of the promotion replay stop in the first general game. Further, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the first general game when determining the winning of the fall replay stop in the second general game.

Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various commands such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the display mode of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker Sp so as to execute various effects based on the contents instructed by the command. The output mode and the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La are controlled. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not input a winning instruction command, the sub-control CPU 41a recognizes that the stoppage stop is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Further, since the sub control CPU 41a can grasp the stop status of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R, the sub control CPU 41a can grasp that the stop stop point deviating from the stop status is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  In addition, when the state instruction command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub state information indicating the internal control state in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control for causing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state of the effect display device 14 according to the internal control state being controlled by the main control CPU 40a.
As shown in FIG. 6, the production state mainly includes a non-ART production state and an ART production state. The non-ART effect state includes a normal effect state, a highly expected effect effect state, a multiple lottery effect state, and a standby effect state.

  The non-ART effect state is an effect state controlled when being controlled mainly by the first general game. In the non-ART effect state, the effect is developed so as to make it difficult to win the normal replay stop or the bell stop.

  The ART effect state is an effect state that is controlled mainly when the second general game is controlled. In the ART effect state, the effect is developed so as to assist (assist) winning in the normal replay stop or bell stop. In the present embodiment, the ART effect state is a state advantageous for the player and corresponds to the advantageous game state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the non-ART effect state corresponds to the normal game state.

  Hereinafter, the control contents in the non-ART effect state (normal effect state, high-expected expectation effect state, multiple lottery effect state, standby effect state) and ART effect state will be described together with the display effect in the effect display device 14. As a result of performing control in each effect state described below, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift the effect state in the manner shown in FIG.

First, the control content in the normal performance state will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the normal performance state mainly in the case of the first general game. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may control to the normal performance state even in the second general game.

During the control of the normal performance state, the sub control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination (display result) stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs an ART lottery during the control of the normal performance state when the winning of any symbol combination among the cherry stop eye, the watermelon stop eye and the chance stop eye is instructed. The ART lottery is performed under the winning probability corresponding to the symbol combination in which winning is instructed. The ART lottery of the present embodiment is performed under a higher winning probability when first high-accuracy information described later is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c than when the first high-accuracy information is not stored. In the ART lottery, it is determined to shift to the ART effect state when winning. The random number used for the ART lottery may be a hardware random number or a software random number.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a, when winning the ART lottery, sets ART information indicating that the transition to the ART effect state is determined in the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the ART information to be erased from the sub-control RAM 41c when the ART effect state ends and the normal effect state is entered. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the normal effect state to the standby effect state when winning the ART lottery during the control of the normal effect state.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the first high-precision lottery when the winning of any of the symbol combinations among the cherry stop eyes, the watermelon stop eyes, and the chance stop eyes is instructed during the control of the normal performance state. The first highly-successful lottery is performed with a winning probability corresponding to the symbol combination instructed to win. Also, in the first high-precision lottery, when winning, it is determined that the winning probability of the ART lottery is higher than usual. If the winning probability of the ART lottery is a higher probability than usual with the fact that the first highly reliable lottery has already been won, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the first highly reliable lottery. Absent. Incidentally, the random number used in the first high-precision lottery may be a hardware random number or a software random number.

The sub-control CPU 41a sets the first high-accuracy information indicating that the first high-precision lottery is won in the sub-control RAM 41c when winning the first high-precision lottery.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the first highly accurate information is deleted from the sub-control RAM 41c when the ART effect state ends and shifts to the normal effect state. Therefore, when the first highly-probable lottery is won, the state in which the winning probability of the ART lottery is high will continue until the ART lottery is won. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the normal performance state to the high-expected performance state when the first high-precision lottery is won during the control of the normal performance state.

  In this embodiment, the ART lottery corresponds to the advantageous transfer lottery, and the sub-control CPU 41a that performs the ART lottery functions as the advantageous transfer lottery means. In the present embodiment, a state in which the winning probability of the ART lottery with the first highly-probable lottery is a high probability is a high-probability state and corresponds to the first high-probability state. In the present embodiment, the first highly-probable lottery is a high-probability occurrence lottery and corresponds to the first high-probability occurrence lottery.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the second high-precision lottery when the winning of any symbol combination is instructed among the cherry stop eyes, the watermelon stop eyes, and the chance eyes during the control of the normal performance state. The second highly-successful lottery is performed with a winning probability corresponding to the symbol combination instructed to win. Further, in the second high-precision lottery, it is determined to shift to the multiple lottery effect state when winning. Note that the random number used in the second high-precision lottery may be a hardware random number or a software random number.

  The sub-control CPU 41a sets the second high-accuracy information indicating that the second high-precision lottery is won in the sub-control RAM 41c when winning the second high-precision lottery. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the second high-accuracy information to be deleted from the sub-control RAM 41c when the end condition for the multiple lottery effect state is satisfied. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the normal effect state to the multiple lottery effect state when winning the second high-precision lottery during the control of the normal effect state.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, during the control of the normal performance state, the symbol combination that becomes the lottery trigger of the ART lottery, the symbol combination that becomes the lottery trigger of the first high-precision lottery, and the lottery trigger of the second high-precision lottery The symbol combination is the same symbol combination (cherry stop eye, watermelon stop eye and chance stop eye).

  Then, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a, among the ART lottery, the first high-precision lottery, and the second high-precision lottery, when the winning of the symbol combination that becomes the lottery opportunity is instructed. The lottery is done first. When the ART lottery is not won, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the first high-precision lottery. After that, when the first highly reliable lottery is not won or when the first highly reliable lottery is not performed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the second highly reliable lottery. In addition, when a winning of a symbol combination as a lottery opportunity is instructed, the ART lottery, the first high-precision lottery, and the second high-precision lottery are all performed, and the ART lottery → first high-precision lottery → second Even if the winning priority order is determined in the order of the high-precision lottery, it is possible to develop the production state in the same manner as in this embodiment.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a is in a case where a winning of any symbol combination among the cherry stop eye, the watermelon stop eye and the chance stop eye is instructed during the control of the normal performance state, and the ART lottery, the first When the high-precision lottery and the second high-precision lottery are not won, a high-precision transition lottery is performed. The sub-control CPU 41a performs the high-accuracy transfer lottery when the first high-accuracy information is stored and the ART lottery and the second high-accuracy lottery are not won.

  The high-accuracy transfer lottery is performed with a winning probability corresponding to the symbol combination instructed to win. In the present embodiment, when the first high-accuracy information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, the winning probability of the high-accuracy transition lottery is greater than when the first high-accuracy information is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Is high. Further, in the high-accuracy transfer lottery, it is determined to shift to the high-expected production effect state when winning. Note that the random number used in the high-accuracy transfer lottery may be a hardware random number or a software random number. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control for shifting from the normal performance state to the high-expected performance state when winning the high-accuracy transition lottery during the control of the normal performance state.

Next, the contents of control in the highly anticipated production effect state will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the high-expected expectation effect state mainly in the case of the first general game. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may control to the high-expected expectation effect state even in the second general game.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination (display result) stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 during the control of the high-expected expectation effect state.

  The sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game executed in the high-expected expectation effect state by the sub-control RAM 41c during the control of the high-expected effect effect state. The sub-control CPU 41a sets the first stay count in the sub-control RAM 41c when shifting from the normal effect state to the highly-expected expectation effect state. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the first stay count every time the variable game is performed in the highly anticipated effect state, and updates it until it becomes "0 (zero)".

Then, when determining that the first stay count after subtraction has become “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the high-expected expected effect state to the normal effect state.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs an ART lottery when a winning of any symbol combination among the cherry stop eye, the watermelon stop eye, and the chance stop eye is instructed during the control of the high-expected expectation effect state. As described above, the ART lottery of the present embodiment is performed under a higher winning probability when the first highly accurate information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c than when the first highly accurate information is not stored. Is called.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a, when winning the ART lottery, sets ART information indicating that the transition to the ART effect state is determined in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control for shifting from the high-expected expected effect state to the standby effect state when winning the ART lottery during the control of the highly-expected expected effect state.

Next, the multiple lottery effect state will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the multiple lottery effect state mainly in the case of the first general game. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may control to the high-expected expectation effect state even in the second general game.

  During the control of the multiple lottery effect state, the sub control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination (display result) that is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  The sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game performed in the multiple lottery effect state in the sub-lottery effect state 41c during the control of the multiple lottery effect state. The sub-control CPU 41a sets the second stay count in the sub-control RAM 41c when shifting from the normal effect state to the multiple lottery effect state. The number of times set as the second stay number is a predetermined number, and in this embodiment, “10 (times)” is set as the second number of stays. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the second stay count every time the variable game is performed in the multiple lottery effect state, and updates it until it becomes "0 (zero)".

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the symbol combination when the symbol combination of the cherry stop eye, the watermelon stop eye, or the chance stop eye is instructed during the control of the multiple lottery effect state. The number of ART lotteries to be performed is determined by lottery. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of ART lotteries to be performed in response to a winning of a symbol combination from one or more times. Then, when the sub control CPU 41a determines the number of ART lotteries performed in response to the winning of the symbol combination, the sub control CPU 41a adds the determined number to the number of lotteries stored in the sub control RAM 41c.

  When determining that the second stay count after subtraction has become “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a performs ART lottery with the number of lotteries stored in the sub-control CPU 41a as the upper limit. . When the ART lottery is won, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the highly-expected expected effect state to the standby effect state. On the other hand, when the ART lottery is not won, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the multiple lottery effect state to the normal effect state.

  As described above, in the multiple lottery effect state in which the upper limit period generated by the number of times of the variable game (second stay number) is determined, the symbol combination that becomes the lottery trigger of the ART lottery is stopped and displayed. There is a possibility that the number of ART lotteries to be made will be larger than usual. Therefore, in the multiple lottery effect state, although the winning probability of one ART lottery does not become high, the probability of winning an ART lottery, that is, the probability of winning an ART lottery becomes high, as much ART lottery is performed. . For this reason, in this embodiment, the multiple lottery effect state is a high probability state and corresponds to a second high probability state. In the present embodiment, the second high probability lottery is a high probability occurrence lottery and corresponds to the second high probability occurrence lottery.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, “the state in which the winning probability of the ART lottery is high with the winning of the first high-precision lottery” and the “multiple lottery effect state” correspond to the high probability state. In the present embodiment, the first highly reliable lottery and the second highly reliable lottery correspond to the high probability occurrence lottery, and the sub-control CPU 41a that performs the lottery functions as the high probability occurrence lottery means. Furthermore, the sub-control CPU 41a that causes the “probability of winning the ART lottery when the winning of the first highly-probable lottery is high” and the “multiple lottery effect state” function as high-probability state generating means. .

Next, the standby effect state will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the standby effect state mainly in the case of the first general game. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may control the standby effect state even in the second general game. Note that the standby effect state is an effect state that is not controlled unless the ART lottery is won. For this reason, the ART information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c during the control of the standby effect state.

During the control of the standby effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination (display result) stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.
The sub-control CPU 41a operates the stop button in order to stop and display the promotion replay stop eye when the winning of the 44th winning combination or the 45th winning combination is instructed during the control of the standby effect state (stop operation) The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the order. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a executes a navigation effect instructing to first operate the stop button 23C among the three stop buttons when the winning of the 44th winning combination is instructed during the control of the standby effect state. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled.

Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a control to shift from the standby effect state to the ART effect state when the promotion replay stop winning is instructed during the control of the standby effect state.
Further, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to stop and display the bell stop eye when the winning of any one of the 31st winning combination to the 33rd winning combination is instructed during the control of the standby effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation order of the stop buttons. Similarly, the sub-control CPU 41a stops the normal replay stop eye when the winning of any of the 41st winning combination to the 43rd winning combination is instructed during the control of the standby effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation order of the stop button for the purpose.

Next, the ART effect state will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the ART effect state mainly in the case of the second general game. Note that the sub control CPU 41a may control the ART effect state even in the first general game.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination (display result) stopped on the winning line L1 during the control of the ART effect state.

  During the control of the ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game performed in the ART effect state in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a sets the number of continuations in the sub-control RAM 41c when shifting from the standby effect state to the ART effect state. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the number of continuations each time a fluctuating game is played in the ART effect state, and updates it until it becomes "0 (zero)".

  In addition, during the control of the ART effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a has won one of the 46th winning combination to the 48th winning combination when the number of continuations is not “0 (zero)”. When instructed, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the normal replay stop eye. On the other hand, during the control of the ART effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a has won one of the 46th winning combination to the 48th winning combination when the number of continuations is “0 (zero)”. Is directed, the navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping and displaying the normal replay stop eye is not executed.

  Then, when controlling the ART effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the ART effect state to the normal effect state when the fall replay stop winning is instructed when the number of continuations is “0 (zero)”. Take control. Incidentally, when controlling the ART effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a continuously controls the ART effect state when the winning of the fall replay stop is instructed when the number of continuations is not “0 (zero)”.

  In the ART effect state in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, “addition” that increases the number of continuations may be performed. In the following description, increasing the number of continuations is referred to as “adding”, and the amount (period) of increasing the number of continuations, that is, the number added to the continuation number is referred to as “addition number”. As a result of the addition, the control period of the ART effect state as the advantageous gaming state is extended.

  The sub-control CPU 41a, when controlling winning of any one of the cherry stop eye, watermelon stop eye, and chance stop eye during the control of the ART effect state, performs the addition along with whether or not to add. An extra lottery is performed to determine the number of extra cases.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines to perform an extra in the extra lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the extra number determined together with the determination to the continuation number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to stop and display the bell stop eye when the winning of any one of the 31st winning combination to the 33rd winning combination is instructed during the control of the ART effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation order of the stop buttons. Similarly, the sub-control CPU 41a stops and displays the normal replay stop when the winning combination of any of the 41st winning combination to the 43rd winning combination is instructed during the control of the ART effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation order of the stop button for the purpose.

  Thus, in the ART effect state of this embodiment, the probability that the bell stop eye or the normal replay stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is increased by executing the navigation effect. In this embodiment, the bell stop eye and the normal replay stop eye correspond to the specific display result, and the operation order of the stop button for causing the bell stop eye and the normal replay stop eye to stop display on the winning line L1 is the specific order. It corresponds to. Furthermore, the ART effect state in the present embodiment corresponds to the specific display rate improvement state, and the sub-control CPU 41a that controls the ART effect state functions as the improvement state control means. Although the stop button operation order is required to stop and display the bell stop eye and the normal replay stop on the winning line L1, the bell is operated regardless of the operation order of the stop button. There may be a situation where a stop eye or a normal replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a is disadvantageous for the player if the stop button 23L is not operated first among the three stop buttons when the ART information is not stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Penalties that give a bad situation. For example, as a penalty, even if a winning of a symbol combination that is a lottery trigger is instructed, the ART lottery, the first high-precision lottery, or the second high-precision lottery may not be performed. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a does not give a penalty even when a stop button other than the stop button 23L among the three stop buttons is first operated in a situation where the ART information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c.

  Incidentally, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the situation in which the ART information is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c means that any one of the normal performance state, the highly anticipated performance state, and the multiple lottery performance state is controlled. It becomes a situation. On the other hand, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state in which the ART information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is a state in which any one of the standby effect state and the ART effect state is controlled.

  In the pachislot machine 10 of this embodiment, the navigation effect is not executed when the ART information is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. However, the ART information is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. May also be configured to execute a navigation effect. However, when the navigation effect is executed when the ART information is not stored, it is preferable that no penalty is given even if the stop button 23L among the three stop buttons is not operated first. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 14 that executes a navigation effect for notifying (navigating) the operation order of the stop buttons corresponding to the order of the stop operation functions as an operation order notifying unit.

  During the control of the non-ART effect state, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of chance stops indicating the number of times the chance stop winning prize is instructed in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a initializes (resets) the number of chance stops in the sub-control RAM 41c in response to the transition from the non-ART effect state to the ART effect state.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the ART information in the sub-control RAM 41c when the chance stop count reaches the first specified count during the control of the non-ART effect state. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a also stores in the sub-control RAM 41c, together with the first arrival information indicating that the ART information has been stored when the chance stop count reaches the first specified count. . At the same time, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the non-ART effect state other than the standby effect state to the standby effect state. The “first specified number of times” in the present embodiment is set to 12 times.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of times of the game that indicates the number of executions of the variable game executed until the transition to the ART effect state during the control of the non-ART effect state in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a initializes (resets) the number of games in the sub-control RAM 41c when the transition from the non-ART effect state to the ART effect state is triggered. Thus, in this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that initializes the chance stop count and the game count functions as an initialization unit.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the ART information in the sub-control RAM 41c when the number of games reaches the second specified number during the control of the non-ART effect state. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a also stores in the sub-control RAM 41c, together with the second arrival information indicating that the ART information has been stored when the number of games reaches the second specified number. At the same time, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the non-ART effect state other than the standby effect state to the standby effect state. Note that the “second specified number of times” in the present embodiment is set to 999 times. As described above, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first specified number of times (first specified number of times) is smaller than the second specified number of times (second specified number of times).

  In the present embodiment, the number of games corresponds to a specific number of games. Note that the number of variable games (games) counted as the number of games may be counted as the number of variable games when a penalty is given, or the number of variable games when a penalty is given. It is not necessary to count. And when not counting the number of variable games when the penalty is given, the specific number of games is when the penalty is not given among the number of games played after the ART effect state ends This corresponds to the number of games played. As described above, in this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a capable of controlling the non-ART effect state corresponding to the normal game state and the ART effect state corresponding to the advantageous game state functions as the game state control means. .

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, an internal lottery state managed by the sub-control CPU 41a is set. And in the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, in the non-ART state corresponding to the normal gaming state, at least some of the lottery types are different depending on the internal lottery state being set.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the internal lottery state to be set next is selected when a specific symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the non-ART effect state. Specifically, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, in the non-ART effect state, the internal lottery state to be set next is selected when the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, and the internal lottery state is selected. May switch. As described above, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the internal lottery state is set when the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the non-ART effect state, the chance stop of the sub-control RAM 41c is stopped. The number of times corresponds to the number of times the internal lottery state is set. In the present embodiment, the fact that the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the non-ART effect state corresponds to the establishment of the setting condition.

Moreover, in the pachislot 10 of this embodiment, the internal lottery state may be switched when the ART effect state ends and the transition to the normal effect state of the non-ART effect state occurs.
Hereinafter, in the non-ART effect state, when the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, the internal lottery state is set, and the ART effect state ends and the state shifts to the normal effect state of the non-ART effect state.

During the setting of the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the advantageous transition lottery is high regardless of whether or not the first high probability state has occurred. Become. For this reason, the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state can be said to be internal lottery states in which the winning probability of the advantageous transition lottery is high and the winning probability of the high probability occurrence lottery is high.

Next, the control performed by the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the setting of the internal lottery state in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
In the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, when setting a predetermined internal lottery state, a small number of times may be set as the second specified number of times. In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when any one of the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state is set as the internal lottery state, “999 times” is normally set as the second specified number of times. “96 times” is set. Thereby, the period until the number of games reaches the second specified number is shortened.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the number of continuations set in accordance with the transition from the standby effect state to the ART effect state differs depending on the internal lottery state set when the number of games reaches the second specified number. .

  Further, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, when the chance stop count reaches the first specified count and when the game count reaches the second specified count, the transition from the standby effect state to the ART effect state occurs. The number of continuations set is different.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the sub-control CPU 41a sets any one of the 11th internal lottery states to the 13th internal lottery state and the 31st internal lottery state to the 33rd internal lottery state. When the number of games has reached the second specified number of times, the transition to the ART effect state is triggered by setting “30 (times)” as the number of continuations. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a triggers that the number of games has reached the second specified number of times when any one of the twenty-first internal lottery state to the twenty-third internal lottery state is set. When shifting to the ART effect state, the number of times determined by lottery among “30 (times)” and “50 (times)” is set as the number of continuations.

  The sub-control CPU 41a is triggered by the fact that the number of games has reached the second specified number of times when any one of the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state is set. When the state is shifted to the ART effect state, “50 (times)” is set as the number of continuations. The ART effect state triggered by the game number reaching the second specified number of times is determined to be shifted by the ART information stored when the game number reaches the second specified number of times. It means the produced ART effect state. That is, it refers to an ART effect state in which the second arrival information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c together with the ART information.

  Thus, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the number of times set as the number of continuations differs depending on the internal lottery state set in a situation where the number of games reaches the second specified number. In particular, when an internal lottery state that is advantageous for a player is set such that the number of times less than normal is set as the second specified number of times, such as the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state. A large number of times is set as the number of continuations (a privilege with high advantage is given).

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets “100 (times)” as the number of continuations in the sub-control RAM 41c when shifting to the ART effect state triggered by the chance stop count reaching the first specified number of times. . The ART effect state triggered by the chance stop count reaching the first specified number of times is shifted by the ART information stored when the chance stop count reaches the first specified number of times. Means the determined ART production state. That is, it refers to an ART effect state in which the first arrival information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c together with the ART information.

  Thus, in the pachislot 10 of this embodiment, when the number of games reaches the second specified number of times and when the number of chance stops reaches the first specified number of times, the number of continuations when shifting to the ART effect state The number of times set as is different. Further, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the chance stop count reaches the first specified count, the number of continuous times is set larger than when the game count reaches the second specified count (advantageous). A special privilege is given).

  By the way, the opportunity to win the ART lottery before the chance stop count reaches the first specified count and before the game count reaches the second specified count (shown as “Other” in FIG. 11). The sub control CPU 41a sets “30 (times)” as the number of continuations in the sub control RAM 41c. The ART effect state triggered by winning the ART lottery means that the first arrival information and the second arrival information are not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c together with the ART information, but only the ART information is stored. This means an ART effect state that shifts in the situation where

  In the present embodiment, shifting to the ART effect state in which the number of continuations is set based on the number of chance stops reaching the first specified number of times is equivalent to giving the first privilege. In the present embodiment, the transition to the ART effect state in which the number of continuations is set based on the number of games reaching the second specified number of times corresponds to the second privilege. And the content of the privilege in this embodiment is corresponded to the frequency | count set as a continuation frequency | count. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a that gives a privilege by shifting to the ART effect state functions as a privilege granting unit. In addition, reaching the first specified number of chance stops corresponds to reaching the first ceiling (ceiling), and reaching the second specified number of times on the second ceiling (ceiling). Equivalent to reaching.

Here, the transition of the internal lottery state in the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 12A, when the eleventh internal lottery state is set, the ART lottery is performed with the first winning probability or the second winning probability. Further, when the eleventh internal lottery is set, the first high-precision lottery and the second high-precision lottery are both performed under the normal probability of winning.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, when the eleventh internal lottery state is switched to the twenty-first internal lottery state, the winning probability of the second high-precision lottery becomes high. As a result, it is easier to win the second highly-selected lottery than when the eleventh internal lottery state is set. Thereby, the opportunity to shift from the normal effect state to the multiple lottery effect state increases.

  As shown in FIG. 12C, when switching from the eleventh internal lottery state to the twenty-second internal lottery state, the winning probability of the first high-precision lottery becomes high. As a result, it is easier to win the first high-precision lottery than when the eleventh internal lottery state is set. Thereby, the opportunity to transfer from the normal performance state to the high-expected performance state increases.

  As shown in FIG. 12D, when the eleventh internal lottery state is switched to the twenty-third internal lottery state, the ART lottery is performed with the third winning probability or the fourth winning probability. As a result, it becomes easier to win the ART lottery than when the eleventh internal lottery state is set. Thereby, the opportunity to shift from the normal effect state, the highly expected effect effect state, and the multiple lottery effect state to the standby effect state increases.

  As shown in FIG. 12E, when switching from the 11th internal lottery state to the 31st internal lottery state, the winning probabilities of the ART lottery, the first high probability lottery, and the second high probability lottery change. do not do. However, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 9C, when the 31st internal lottery state is set, it is set next than when the 11th internal lottery state is set. The internal lottery state is likely to be any one of the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state. Therefore, even if the eleventh internal lottery state shifts to the thirty-first internal lottery state, the winning probability of the ART lottery, the first high-precision lottery, and the second high-precision lottery does not change, but an internal that is advantageous in the future The expectation that the lottery state will be set will increase.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (f), when the eleventh internal lottery state is switched to the forty-first internal lottery state, the ART lottery is performed with the second winning probability or the fourth winning probability, and the first high The winning probability of the winning lottery is high, and the winning probability of the second highly winning lottery is high. As a result, it is easier to win the ART lottery than when the eleventh internal lottery is set, and it is easier to win the first high-precision lottery and the second high-precision lottery. Further, when the eleventh internal lottery state is switched to the forty-first internal lottery state, the second specified number of times is switched from “999” to “96”.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The internal lottery state includes an internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the ART lottery when the first high-accuracy information is not stored (advantageous transition lottery when the high probability state is not generated) is high. There is an internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the first high-precision lottery corresponding to the high-probability occurrence lottery or the second high-probability lottery is high. For this reason, in a non-ART production state corresponding to the normal gaming state, a situation in which the winning probability of the ART lottery is high, and a situation in which the winning probability of the first high-precision lottery or the second high-precision lottery is high. And can be created. Thereby, it is possible to enhance the fun by switching the internal lottery state in the non-ART effect state and entertain the player, compared to the case where only the probability that the ART effect state is controlled is different.

  (2) When the first high-probability lottery corresponding to the first high-probability lottery is won, the probability that the ART lottery will be won until the ART lottery is won (the first high-probability state) ) Is created. In addition, when the second high-probability lottery corresponding to the second high-probability lottery is won, the probability that the ART lottery will be increased until the second variable number of stays game is played (the first lottery 2 high probability states) occur. As described above, when the first high-precision lottery is won and when the second high-precision lottery is won, the period during which the probability of winning the ART lottery continues is different.

  The internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the first high-precision lottery is high and the internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the second high-precision lottery is high can be set as the internal lottery state. . As a result, it is possible to create a situation in which the winning probability of the first high-precision lottery is high and a situation in which the winning probability of the second high-precision lottery is high. The fun of switching the state can be enhanced and the player can be entertained.

  (3) It is possible to set an internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the ART lottery as the advantageous transition lottery and the first probable lottery as the high probability occurrence lottery or the winning probability of the second highly probable lottery are high. did. Therefore, in addition to the situation in which the winning probability of the ART lottery is high and the situation in which the winning probability of the first high-precision lottery or the second high-precision lottery is high, the ART lottery state and the first high-probability lottery In addition, it is possible to create a situation where the winning probability of the second highly-successful lottery is high, and it is possible to enhance the fun by switching the internal lottery state and entertain the player.

  (4) When the number of times that the set condition is satisfied (in the embodiment, “the number of times the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1”) has reached the first specified number (specified number), It is configured to shift to an ART effect state as an advantageous game state. For this reason, when the number of times the setting condition is satisfied increases, that is, when the number of times the internal lottery state is switched increases, the state shifts to the ART effect state. For this reason, the fun by switching the internal lottery state can be further enhanced and the player can be entertained.

  (5) Satisfaction of the set condition immediately before the set condition is satisfied (in the embodiment, “the number of times the chance stop is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1”) reaches the first specified number (the specified number). As a trigger, it can be switched to a predetermined internal lottery state. For this reason, a specific lottery or the like can be performed when the set condition is established just before the first specified number of times is reached, and the player can be further entertained.

  (6) The ART lottery as the advantageous transition lottery is performed under the winning probability based on the symbol combination stopped and displayed (displayed) on the winning line L1. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to the symbol combination (display result) that is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  (7) The first high probability lottery as the high probability occurrence lottery (first high probability occurrence lottery) is performed under the winning probability based on the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed (displayed) on the winning line L1. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to the symbol combination (display result) that is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  (8) The second high probability lottery as the high probability occurrence lottery (second high probability occurrence lottery) is performed under the winning probability based on the symbol combination stopped and displayed (displayed) on the winning line L1. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to the symbol combination (display result) that is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  (9) The number of continuous times (when the number of games (specific number of games) has reached the second specified number (specified number of times), the number of continuations set when shifting to the ART effect state according to the internal lottery state set. The details of the benefits granted may be different. For this reason, not only is it expected that a specific number of games will reach the specified number of times, but it is also given with attention to what kind of internal lottery state is currently set Interesting to the benefits can be improved.

  (10) When the number of games (specific number of games) reaches the second specified number (specified number of times), the more the internal lottery state that is advantageous to the player is set, the more the game is shifted to the ART effect state. The number of continuations set (the content of the privilege to be given) is an advantageous content for the player. Thereby, the attention degree about what internal lottery state is set can further be raised, and the interest to the privilege provided can be improved.

  (11) When the number of times that the set condition is satisfied (in the embodiment, “the number of times the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1”) has reached the first specified number of times, the number of established conditions is met. A first privilege is granted. Further, when the number of times of the variable game (game) reaches the second specified number of times, a second privilege corresponding to the arrival is given. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to what kind of privilege is given under what conditions, and it is possible to improve the interest in the given privilege.

  (12) Since the advantages of the first privilege and the second privilege are different, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not a privilege with a high advantage is given, and to improve the fun of the privilege to be given Can be made.

(13) Since the first privilege is more advantageous than the second privilege, the degree of attention to the establishment of the setting condition can be further increased, and the player can be entertained.
(14) Triggered by the provision of a privilege (transition to the ART effect state), the number of chance stops (the number of times the setting condition is established) and the number of games (the number of games played after the specific display rate improvement state ends) Configured to be initialized. For this reason, the game until the privilege is granted, with attention paid to whether the chance stop count reaches the first specified count or the game count reaches the second specified count earlier. Can be entertained.

  In particular, when the advantage of either one of the first privilege and the second privilege is higher than the other advantage, before the grant of a privilege with a low advantage is performed, While paying attention to whether or not the grant is performed, it is possible to entertain the game until the privilege is granted.

  (15) The first specified number of times is smaller than the second specified number of times. For this reason, regardless of the probability that the set condition is satisfied, that is, the probability that the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed, it is possible to make it appear as if the first privilege with a high degree of advantage is likely to be given, and to play a game. Can improve their willingness to.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the number of chance stops is different from the number of continuations set when shifting to the ART effect state depending on the internal lottery state set when the number of games reaches the second specified number of times. The number of continuations set when shifting to the ART effect state may be varied depending on the internal lottery state set when the first specified number of times is reached.

  In the above embodiment, the internal lottery state set when the number of chance stops reaches the first specified number is configured to set a specific type of internal lottery state (the 33rd internal lottery state). Has been. For this reason, when changing the number of continuations (contents of privilege) set when shifting to the ART effect state according to the internal lottery state set when the chance stop count reaches the first specified number of times, It is preferable that the internal lottery state set when the chance stop count reaches the first specified count be various types. For example, in the third situation, the same number as in the second situation is set so that the internal lottery state to be set is selected from various internal lottery states. The internal lottery state set when the specified number of times is reached can be configured in various types.

  When configured in this way, set when shifting to the ART effect state by the internal lottery state set when the chance stop count (specific game count) reaches the first specified count (specified count). The number of continuations (contents of privilege granted) may differ. For this reason, not only is it expected that a specific number of games will reach the specified number of times, but it is also given with attention to what kind of internal lottery state is currently set Interesting to the benefits can be improved.

  Further, when the number of chance stops reaches the first specified number of times, the more the internal lottery state that is advantageous to the player is set, the longer the number of continuations (given) that is set when shifting to the ART effect state. The content of the privilege may be advantageous for the player. When comprised in this way, the attention degree about what internal lottery state is set can further be raised, and the interest to the privilege provided can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, when the setting condition immediately before the set condition is satisfied (the number of chance stops) reaches the first specified number of times, various internal lottery states are entered without shifting to a specific internal lottery state. May be configured to be set.

  In the above embodiment, the transition to the ART effect state may not be determined when the chance stop count reaches the first specified count. In other words, the ART information may not be set in the sub-control RAM 41c no matter how many chance stop times are reached.

  In the above embodiment, the transition to the ART effect state may not be determined when the number of games reaches the second specified number. In other words, the ART information may not be set in the sub-control RAM 41c no matter how many times the game is played.

  In the above embodiment, the conditions for the ART information to be set in the sub-control RAM 41c are that the ART lottery is won, the chance stop count reaches the first specified count, and the game count reaches the second specified count. It may not be all of that, but at least one.

  In the above embodiment, the eleventh internal lottery state to the thirteenth internal lottery state, the twenty-first internal lottery state to the twenty-third internal lottery state, the thirty-first internal lottery state to the thirty-third internal lottery state, and the forty-first All the internal lottery states from the internal lottery state to the forty-third internal lottery state may not be settable.

  For example, the 41st internal lottery state corresponding to the internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the advantageous transition lottery when the high probability state has not occurred is high and the winning probability of the high probability occurrence lottery is high is A part or all of the forty-third internal lottery state may not be configured to be settable. The 22nd internal lottery state corresponding to the internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the first high probability occurrence lottery (high probability occurrence lottery) is high may not be settable. Further, the 21st internal lottery state corresponding to the internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the second high probability occurrence lottery (high probability occurrence lottery) is high may not be settable. Further, the 23rd internal lottery state corresponding to the internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the advantageous transition lottery when the high probability state has not occurred is high may not be settable. Moreover, it is not necessary to constitute a part or all of the eleventh internal lottery state to the thirteenth internal lottery state. Similarly, a part or all of the 31st internal lottery state to the 33rd internal lottery state may not be configured to be settable.

  -The privilege in the said embodiment is not restricted to the frequency | count set as a frequency | count of continuation when shifting from a non-ART production | presentation state to an ART production | presentation state. For example, the advantage of the privilege may be varied depending on the probability that the addition will be performed, or the advantage of the privilege may be varied depending on the number of additions.

In the above embodiment, the type of internal lottery state in which a large number of continuous times is set and the type of internal lottery state in which a small number of continuous times is set may be changed as appropriate.
In the above embodiment, the “specific number of games” may be the number of times of a variable game in which a specific display result (for example, a chance stop) is displayed. At this time, the symbol combination resulting in a specific display result may be one type or a plurality of types.

  In the ART effect state of the above embodiment, the display result that improves the probability of stop display (display) than in the non-ART effect state is not limited to the bell stop eye and the replay stop eye. For example, in the ART effect state, the probability that either one of the bell stop eye and the replay stop eye is stopped and displayed may be improved as compared with the non-ART effect state.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, the 1st privilege and the 2nd privilege may be the same. The advantage of the first privilege and the advantage of the second privilege may be the same. Furthermore, you may make the advantage of a 2nd privilege higher than the advantage of a 1st privilege.

In the above embodiment, the first specified number of times and the second specified number of times may be set to the same number. Further, the first specified number of times may be greater than the second specified number of times.
-In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that a player can grasp | ascertain the internal lottery state currently set.

  In the above embodiment, it may be configured such that only the number of times the type of the internal lottery state is actually switched in association with the chance stop eye being stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is counted as the number of chance stops. For example, when the eleventh internal lottery state is set, if the eleventh internal lottery state is selected as the internal lottery state to be set, the number of chance stops is not counted and the eleventh internal lottery state to be set is the eleventh. When an internal lottery state other than the internal lottery state is selected, the number of chance stops may be counted. In such a configuration, the number of chance stops corresponds to the number of times that the internal lottery state has been switched, not the number of times the setting condition is satisfied.

  In the above embodiment, the opportunity stop (number of times the setting condition is established) and the number of games (the number of games played after the specific display rate improvement state is over) triggered by the provision of a privilege (transition to the ART effect state) The number of times may be initialized. In other words, both the chance stop count and the game count may not be initialized. Even when only one of the chance stop count and the game count is initialized when the privilege is given, the chance stop count reaches the first specified count and the game count is the second specified count. It is possible to entertain a game until a privilege is granted by paying attention to which of the number of times can be achieved earlier.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, even if privilege provision is performed, you may comprise so that the chance stop count may not be initialized until it reaches the 1st prescribed count. Similarly, even when a privilege is given, the number of games may not be initialized until the second specified number of times is reached.

  In the above embodiment, the ART lottery as the advantageous transfer lottery may be configured to be performed with a predetermined winning probability regardless of the combination of symbols stopped (displayed) on the winning line L1.

  In the above embodiment, the first high-precision lottery as the high-probability occurrence lottery (first high-probability occurrence lottery) is a predetermined winning regardless of the combination of symbols stopped (displayed) on the winning line L1. You may comprise so that it may be performed under probability.

  In the above embodiment, the second high-precision lottery as the high-probability occurrence lottery (second high-probability occurrence lottery) is a predetermined winning regardless of the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed (displayed) on the winning line L1. You may comprise so that it may be performed under probability.

  -In the normal performance state of the above embodiment, the symbol combinations that become the lottery triggers of the ART lottery, the first high-precision lottery, and the second high-precision lottery may all be different symbol combinations, or some may be different symbols. It is good also as a combination. For example, when the cherry stop-winning prize is instructed, the ART lottery is performed. When the watermelon stop-winning prize is instructed, the first high-precision lottery is performed. It may be configured such that a highly reliable lottery is performed.

  In the normal performance state of the above-described embodiment, the order in which the lottery is performed among the ART lottery, the first highly reliable lottery, and the second highly reliable lottery may be changed. For example, when the ART lottery is performed first and the second high-precision lottery is performed after the second high-precision lottery is performed when the ART lottery is not won, the first high-precision lottery is performed. May be configured to be performed. Even if one of the lotteries is won, another lottery may be performed, and only the lottery order for giving priority to winning may be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the high-accuracy transition lottery may be configured not to change depending on whether or not the first high-accuracy information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the winning probability of the high-accuracy transition lottery is greater when the first high-accuracy information is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c than when the first high-accuracy information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. It may be set high.

  In the above embodiment, the number of times set as the first stay count when shifting from the normal performance state to the high-expected performance state may be a predetermined number of times, or the number of times selected randomly by lottery It may be. In addition, when the number of times set as the first stay count is randomly selected, the first high-accuracy information is stored, and the first high-accuracy information is stored, as compared with the case where the first high-accuracy information is not stored. You may comprise so that many frequency | counts may be selected easily as the frequency | count of stay. When configured in this way, it can be expected that the winning probability of the ART lottery is higher than usual as the control period of the high-expected expected production state becomes longer.

  The navigation effect in the above embodiment is not limited to navigating the stop button operated first, but is an effect of navigating the stop button operated first (first) and the stop button operated second. May be. Such a navigation effect corresponds to navigating the stop button operated for the third time (last) by navigating the stop button operated for the first time and the second time. That is, this corresponds to navigating the entire operation order of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  -In the said embodiment, it is not necessary to perform a highly reliable transfer lottery. In this case, the first high probability lottery is won, and the first high probability information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, so that only when the first high probability state is generated, the high-predictive production state is entered. It will be. For this reason, in the case of the configuration as described above, the transition to the high-expected production effect state corresponds to the occurrence of a high-probability state.

  In the above embodiment, in the 23rd internal lottery state and the 41st internal lottery state to the 43rd internal lottery state, only the winning probability of the ART lottery when the first highly accurate information is not stored is more than normal. You may comprise so that it may become a high probability.

  In the above embodiment, the third winning probability shown in FIG. 7 may be a winning probability lower than the second winning probability, or may be a winning probability higher than the second winning probability. The fourth winning probability may be a winning probability lower than the second winning probability, or may be a winning probability higher than the second winning probability. Further, the third winning probability and the fourth winning probability may be the same winning probability.

  -When the chance stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the standby effect state of the above embodiment (when the setting condition is satisfied), the internal lottery state is not switched or the internal lottery state is newly set. You may comprise so that the control to set (for example, the lottery which selects the internal lottery state to set next) is not performed.

  In the above embodiment, the navigation effect is not limited to being performed by the effect display device 14, but may be configured to be performed by the speaker Sp. Alternatively, the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R may be configured to incorporate a light emitter and execute a navigation effect using the light emitter. Further, the navigation effect may be configured to be executed using a plurality of effect execution means (in the above, the effect display device 14, the speaker Sp, and the light emitter incorporated in the stop button).

  -You may provide a setting apparatus in the pachi-slot 10 of the said embodiment. The setting device is connected to the main control CPU 40a. Note that the setting device is preferably disposed inside the pachi-slot 10 and cannot be operated by the player. The setting state of the pachislot machine 10 may be configured to be changeable by operating the setting device when the pachislot machine 10 is powered on. By changing the setting state of the pachi-slot 10, the winning probability of at least some of the winning combinations of a plurality of types of winning combinations (that is, the probability that display result display is allowed) may be configured to be changeable. Further, the probability of selecting the internal lottery state may vary depending on the setting state of the pachi-slot 10. Further, it may be configured such that one or both of the chance stop count and the game count are initialized when the setting state of the pachi-slot 10 is changed. At this time, when the number of games is initialized, the specific number of games includes the number of times the game has changed since the setting state of the pachislot 10 has been changed.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the above-described embodiment, an initialization operation unit is provided so that one or both of the chance stop count and the game count are initialized when the initialization operation unit is operated. Also good. At this time, when the number of games is initialized, the specific number of games includes the number of times of a variable game since the initialization operation means is operated. Note that the initialization operation means may be a RAM clear switch or the like in addition to the setting device as described above. The initialization operation means may be configured to be operable by the player, but is preferably configured so that the player cannot operate.

  -The above embodiment is applied to a rotary game machine (pachislot) to which a bonus game is given (occurred) when a symbol combination classified as a bonus stop is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Also good. Further, the advantageous gaming state may be a state controlled in a situation where a stop display (display) of the bonus stop eye is allowed.

  -In the above embodiment, when one of a plurality of winning roles has been won, when the stop stop eye is stopped and displayed, the type of the winning combination won and the symbol associated with the prize You may comprise so that the stop stop eyes (for example, bell spilled eyes etc.) which can specify the said symbol combination at the time of the combination stop display are stopped and displayed. Further, in the second general game, the second general game may be shifted to the first general game when a specific stoppage is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  In the above embodiment, the winning combination lottery may be configured to always win some winning combination. In other words, the winning combination lottery may be configured so that no losing is determined. Even in the case of such a configuration, the shift stop eye may be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. In the case of such a configuration, the winning combination lottery corresponds to a lottery for drawing the winning combination to be won.

In the above embodiment, the configuration of the internal control state may be arbitrarily changed. For example, another internal control state may be interposed between the first general game and the second general game.
