Description

According to the present invention, in a predetermined game state in which the maximum number of moving symbols at the time of stopping of at least one reel is controlled to be different, a symbol combination stopped and displayed in response to the operation of the stop switch is changed. It is about the machine.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional gaming machine, a replay lottery is executed during a 2BB (MB) game, and a replay win and a small role win according to a replay win and a stop switch operation. A machine is known (for example, see Patent Document 1 ).

Japanese Patent No. 5240949

However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, in a game in which no replay is won during the 2BB game, the reel stop control is the same, the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed is the same, and the number of payouts is the same. For this reason, there is a problem that the skill of the player cannot be exhibited during the non-winning of the replay during the 2BB game .
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a player with technical intervening in a predetermined game in a predetermined game state (for example, in a situation of winning ALL during a 2BB game) .

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means (the configuration of a corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses) .
The present invention (third embodiment)
A plurality of reels (31);
A plurality of stop switches (42);
Role lottery means (61) for performing a role lottery,
A reel control means (65) for stopping and controlling the reels within a range of the maximum number of moving symbols when the stop switch is operated to stop;
With
In a predetermined game state (during a 2BB game), the reel control means determines that the maximum number of symbols to be moved is at least one specific reel (middle reel 31) of the plurality of reels and a reel other than the specific reel. A different stop control ("1" for a specific reel and "4" for other reels) can be executed,
A symbol combination corresponding to a first small win (small win 01) according to a stop operation sequence and a stop operation timing of the plurality of stop switches in a predetermined game in the predetermined game state (under a winning prize ALL situation). There is a case where the symbol combination 1 corresponding to the second small combination (small combination 02) is stopped and displayed, a case where the symbol combination for providing the game medium is not stopped and displayed,
In the predetermined game in the predetermined game state, when the symbol combination 1 or the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed, a specific number of game media (13 medals) can be given,
In the predetermined game in the predetermined game state, when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first operated to stop, the symbol (bell, watermelon A, cherry, Or replay A) or the symbol (watermelon A) corresponding to symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed,
In the predetermined game in the predetermined game state, in the game in which the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped, the symbol combination 1 is stopped and displayed, and the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed, There is a case where the symbol combination for giving the game medium is not stopped and displayed,
In a predetermined game in the predetermined game state, a ratio (2 × 375/8000) in which a symbol combination for giving a game medium is not stopped and displayed when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped is operated. When the stop switch corresponding to a predetermined reel other than the specific reel is first stopped, a symbol combination for giving a game medium is lower than a ratio (2 × 3975/8000) in which stop display is not performed,
In a predetermined game in the predetermined game state, the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is operated to stop first, and the stop switch corresponding to the predetermined reel is operated to stop next. Indicates that the symbol corresponding to symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed, respectively, and the stop operation of the stop switch corresponding to the remaining reels is received at the timing when symbol combination 2 is not stopped and displayed, The game medium is not provided even if the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed due to a predetermined rotation failure with respect to the corresponding reel .

According to the present invention, when the symbol combination 1 is stopped and displayed, the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed, and the symbol combination for providing the game medium is not stopped and displayed based on the operation of the stop switch of the player. Since it is provided, technical intervention can be provided.

In the present specification, the meanings of the terms are as follows.
“RT” means that the type (number) of the condition device (accompaniment (special combination), replay, small combination) and the probability of winning the lottery are in a special lottery state, and “RT transition”. This means that the transition from one RT to another RT changes the winning probability of at least one condition device (for example, replay) to be drawn. Therefore, the winning probability for each type of replay in one RT is a value unique to that RT, and it is impossible for one RT and another RT to have the same winning probability for each type of replay. Absent. However, the sum of the replay winning probabilities may be the same for one RT and another RT.

In the present embodiment, the RT firstly includes non-RT, RT1, RT2, 1BBA to 1BBC operation, and 2BBA to 2BBC operation (FIG. 19 described later).
Note that “non-RT” does not mean that it is not included in the concept of RT, and is equivalent to “RT0”. Therefore, in this specification, "RT" includes non-RT.
Further, in the present embodiment, 1BBA to 1BBC operation and 2BBA to 2BBC operation are provided as the special game (accessory operation). In this embodiment, none of the 1BBA to 1BBC operations performs a lottery for replay. Therefore, although it is not strictly included in the RT, it is described as one RT in the description of the present embodiment. Note that at least one replay lottery may be performed during the 1BBA to 1BBC operation, and in this case, the 1BBA to 1BBC operation can be regarded as one RT.
During the operation of 2BBA to 2BBC, a replay is drawn by lot.
In addition, when it is referred to as “gear work”, there are a case where the character is won and a case where a special game related to the character is being played.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an SB other than 1BB and 2BB is provided, but there is no RT shift based on the SB operation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the concept is different from RT, and includes a main game state in which transition (transition) is controlled by the main control board 50 as in RT. The main game states of the present embodiment include main game states 0 to 2 and 12 to 16 as shown in FIG. Here, the main gaming states 3 to 11 are handled as missing numbers in the present embodiment. The actual machine has main game states 3 to 11, but in the following embodiment, the main game states 3 to 11 will be omitted (deleted) for simplification of description.

  The RT and the main gaming state have a case where they are linked and a case where they are not linked. For example, when a condition that simultaneously satisfies the transition to the RT and the transition to the main game state is satisfied, the transition to the RT and the transition to the main game state are made. On the other hand, when the transition condition of the RT is satisfied but the transition condition of the main gaming state is not satisfied, only the RT transitions without changing the main gaming state. Conversely, when the transition condition of the main game state is satisfied but the transition condition of the RT is not satisfied, only the main game state transitions without changing the RT.

In the present embodiment, a lottery of a “winning number” is executed by the role lottery means 61 described later. Therefore, the role lottery means 61 is also referred to as “winning number lottery (decision, selection) means”.
The winning numbers of the present embodiment include a winning number “0” to be non-winning and winning numbers “1” to “38” to be any of the winnings (FIGS. 9 and 10 described later). When the winning number is determined, a "condition device number" corresponding to the winning number is generated.
The “condition device number” includes a “accessory condition device number” and a “winning and replay condition device number”.
Then, when the condition device number is generated, the condition device corresponding to the condition device number is operated, so that the symbol combination of the hand corresponding to the operated condition device can be stopped and displayed on the activated line.

The “accessory condition device number” is a condition device number corresponding to any special combination (accessory). In the present embodiment, “0” to “7” are provided as the “accessory condition device number”. .
The role condition device number “0” is a role condition device number corresponding to the non-winning of a special role (prize), and the role condition device numbers “1” to “7” are any special role ( This is the accessory condition device number corresponding to the winning of the accessory.
Here, as the “special role (casing)”, 1BB (first-class continuous actuating device; first-class big bonus), 2BB (second-class continuous actuating device; second-class big bonus), RB (first-class special occasion; regular bonus), CB (second-class special occasion; challenge bonus), and SB (single bonus).

1BB (first-class special accessory continuous operating device) refers to a device that can continuously operate RB (first-class special special product).
In the present embodiment, 1BB includes 1BBA to 1BBC, and RB includes RBA and RBB. Then, during 1BBA operation, the RBA is operated continuously. Also, during 1BBB and 1BBC operation, the RBA is operated continuously.
During the operation of 1BB, the RB of the present embodiment ends when either one of two small wins or two games is completed, and after the end, the ending condition of the 1BB operation is not satisfied. Activate the RB again. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the RB receives “N” (“N” is “2” or more and “8” or less) small portion prizes or “M” (“M” is “2” or more) 12 "or less) as long as one of the number of games is satisfied.

In addition, 2BB (second-class accessory continuous operation device) refers to a device that can continuously operate CB (second-class special accessory). 2BB is also called MB.
Furthermore, the SB (single bonus) is an accessory that executes an SB game consisting of one game. When the SB game (one game) is completed, the game state returns to the game state before the transition to the SB game.
Furthermore, 1BB and 2BB are special roles that can carry the winning information after the next game, and SB and CB are special roles that do not carry the winning information after the next game. The carryover of the winning information after the next game will be described later.

  The “winning and replay condition device number” is a condition device number corresponding to a small role or a replay that does not carry winning information after the next game. In the present embodiment, “winning and replay condition device number” is “ 0 "to" 22 ". The prize and replay condition device number “0” is a condition device number corresponding to the non-winning of the small role and the replay, and the prize and replay condition device numbers “1” to “22” are any of the small role or the replay. This is the condition device number corresponding to the winning.

The winning numbers “0” to “22” among the winning numbers “0” to “38” of the above-described embodiment correspond to the winning and replay condition device numbers “0” to “22”, and The winning item condition device number is a winning number of “0”.
On the other hand, the winning numbers “23” to “38” are the winning numbers corresponding to the accessory condition device numbers “1” to “5”. Here, the winning numbers “23” to “38” include a winning number corresponding to a single winning of the special role, and a winning number at which the special role and the small role or the replay are repeatedly won.

Further, when the winning information is won to a winning number (in the present embodiment, the winning numbers “24” to “38”) including any of the special roles that can be carried over after the next game, the special role corresponds to the special role. Until the symbol combination stops on the activated line, the winning information of the special role is carried over to the next game.
Here, a game in which the winning information has not been won for a winning number including a special role that can be carried over after the next game is referred to as “non-internal”. On the other hand, when the winning combination including the special role is won, but the symbol combination corresponding to the selected special role is not yet stopped on the activated line, that is, the game in which the winning information of the special role is carried over to the "internal". Medium. " In the present embodiment, the game won as the special role is included in “non-inside”, but the game won in the special role may be included in “inside”.

In addition, since 1BB of this embodiment has a case where it does not win in the game which was won, it may be inside 1BB. On the other hand, since 2BB of the present embodiment always wins in the winning game, there is no case where the inside of 2BB is inside.
In addition, since the SB does not carry the winning information after the next game, the SB does not go inside during the SB winning.

  The “operation information of the stop switch that is advantageous to the player” is a combination of a large number of payouts (a symbol combination) in a game in which the operation result of the stop switch gives an advantage / disadvantage to a game result (a symbol combination stopped at an active line). ) Indicates information on an operation mode in which a winning combination (stop display) or a symbol combination that does not shift (promote) to an advantageous RT or shift (fall) to an unfavorable RT wins (stop display).

The “operation mode” corresponds to the pressing order of the stop switches and / or the operation timing (the timing of pressing the stop switch for stopping the target symbol on the active line).
In the present embodiment, the “game having an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch” is a game at the time of winning the small combination A1 to A6 (small combination A group), which is a pressing order bell, and the overlapping replay (replay E1 to E3 ( Replay E group)) This corresponds to the game at the time of winning.

Furthermore, at the time of the pressing order bell winning, when the stop switch is operated in the correct answer pressing order, the winning bell (small hand) is changed to a higher-level bell (of the overlapping winning bell group (small hand group), the payout number is Displaying the symbol combination such as the most minor combination may be referred to as a bell (small combination) which is most advantageous for the player.
On the other hand, when the stop switch is operated in the wrong push order when the push order bell is won, the payout of the bell (the small win group (small role group) of the bell group (small role group) that has been repeatedly won according to the operation timing of the stop switch is performed. There is a case where a small portion with a smaller number of payouts than the small portion with the largest number of coins) wins or a case where the role is missed. A stop appearance displayed when a role is missed is referred to as a “spill eye”.
However, in this embodiment, when the pushing order is incorrect when the pushing order bell is won, the cheapest bell always wins and the spilling eyes do not stop (“PB = 1” described later).

Further, at the time of the replay overlap winning, different symbol combinations are stopped and displayed according to the order of pressing the stop switch, but at the time of the replay winning, no dropout occurs (“PB = 1”).
In this case, a push order for stopping and displaying a symbol combination advantageous to the player, for example, a symbol combination shifting to an RT having a higher replay winning probability or a symbol combination maintaining an RT having a higher replay winning probability (RT advantageous to the player) Is referred to as a "correct answering order" or a "promotional pushing order."
On the other hand, the push order in which the symbol combination that shifts from an RT that is advantageous to the player (for example, an RT with a high replay winning probability) to an unfavorable RT (for example, an RT with a low replay winning probability) is stopped and displayed is “illegal push”. Order "or" fall (demotion) pushing order ".

The “instruction function” means a function of displaying (notifying) the above-mentioned “advantageous operation mode” to the player.
In other words, the “instruction function” refers to a device (control) that facilitates winning. On the other hand, when the “instruction function” is a device that facilitates winning of a small role, the “instruction function” is, in a narrow sense, a correct answer push order (higher-level bell) for winning the push order bell winning. Displaying the order, and displaying the correct push order for winning a favorable replay (replay for shifting to a favorable RT or replay for maintaining a favorable RT) at the time of replay duplicate winning. Not included.

However, in the following embodiments, the "instruction function" indicates a function for displaying "advantageous operation mode" to the player, and the "instruction function activation" indicates a correct answer pressing order when the pressing order bell is won. This is used in a sense that includes both displaying the correct answer pressing order for winning an advantageous replay at the time of replay overlapping winning.
Showing the content of the "instruction" to the player is "display", and notifying the content of the instruction to the player is "notification". Therefore, the “instruction function” is both a “display function” and a “notification function”.
The “instruction” is a concept having the meaning of “instruction”, but no penalty is imposed on the player for not complying with the “instruction”. However, if the correct answer push order displayed by the operation of the instruction function is not followed, the higher-order bell may not win when the push order bell wins, or an unfavorable replay may win when the replay overlap wins.

  Furthermore, the "instruction function operation game" refers to a game having an advantageous operation mode of a stop switch (a game that has been elected to a condition device (a small role group A, a replay E group) having an advantageous operation mode of a stop switch). , A game in which the instruction function is activated (a game that informs the player of an operation mode that is advantageous). For this reason, the instruction function operation game is one game. The instruction function operation game may also be referred to as a notification game. Note that even if the game has an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch, the game is not an instruction function operation game when the instruction function is not operated.

A game section in which the instruction function is continuously operated, that is, a game section in which the instruction function operation game (notification game) is continuously executed is referred to as “AT”. During the AT, when the player wins a role having an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch, the indicating function is basically activated.
In the present embodiment, an AT in which one set of 40 games (when no additional game is performed) is executed, and when one set of AT is consumed, if the continuation condition of the AT is satisfied, the AT of one set of 40 games is executed again. I do.

In addition, under the situation of the winning ALL of the 2BB game in the first embodiment (details will be described later), depending on the pressing order and the operation timing of the stop switch 42, the case where the high-ranking small role (13 pieces) wins is different from the case where the small winning combination wins. There is a case where a small hand (12) wins a prize. In this situation of the first embodiment, the role is not lost.
On the other hand, under the situation of the ALL winning game of the 2BB game in the third embodiment, the case where the small winning combination (13) wins and the case where the winning combination does not win (combination) are determined according to the pressing order and the operation timing of the stop switch 42. When it is missed).
During the 2BB game of the present embodiment, the instruction function of notifying the advantageous pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not activated, although it is an advantageous section to be described later (2BB games are instruction function operation games or ATs). Absent).
In the 2BB game, the high / yellow role wins based on the player's operation of the stop switch 42 (first embodiment) or the small role wins / non-wins (third embodiment). Yes, with technical intervention.

In the present embodiment, the “game section” includes a “normal section”, a “standby section”, and an “advantage section”. It should be noted that a game section other than the advantageous section, that is, the normal section and the standby section may be collectively referred to as a “non-advantaged section”, or the normal section may be referred to as a “non-advantaged section”.
First, the "normal section" is a signal related to an instruction function, specifically, a push order instruction number and a winning and replay condition device number (information that can determine the correct answer push order) to be described later. This is a game section in which transmission to the board is prohibited and does not affect the performance of the instruction function at all (does not activate the instruction function). In other words, the normal section is a game section in which the instruction function cannot be operated, or a game section in which an advantageous operation mode cannot be displayed (notified). However, in addition to the lottery of the winning number, it is possible to determine whether to shift to the advantageous section or AT (lottery or the like).

  In a normal section, since the indicating function must not be operated, it is impossible to display (notify) the pressing order instruction information on a predetermined display device (such as an LED) electrically connected to the main control board, Since the signal relating to the instruction function is not transmitted to the peripheral board, it is not possible to display (notify) an advantageous operation mode using a lamp, a speaker, an image display device, or the like that is electrically connected to the sub-control board described later.

The “normal section” in the present embodiment is a game section in which it is possible to determine whether to shift to the advantageous section (AT) (lottery or the like). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a first normal section (advantageous section lottery-possible section) in which it is possible to determine (lottery or the like) whether to shift to an advantageous section, and a determination whether to shift to an advantageous section ( It is also possible to provide a second normal section in which a lottery or the like cannot be performed (an advantageous section lottery impossible period).
For example, when the condition for shifting to the second normal section in the first normal section is satisfied (for example, when a predetermined winning number is won), the shift to the second normal section is given. Alternatively, after the end of the special role (for example, 1BB) operation (after the end of the special game) or after the end of the advantageous section, a transition to the second normal section can be given uniformly or under a predetermined condition.

.
The transition from the second normal section to the first normal section is performed by exhausting a predetermined number of games, winning a predetermined winning number, displaying a predetermined symbol combination, and displaying a predetermined RT (for example, a stay ratio among a plurality of RTs). To the highest RT).
In the present embodiment, the transition to the advantageous section is made on condition that the 1BB or 2BB is won during the normal section. Further, in the advantageous section, the process shifts to AT on condition that “CZ rank” described later becomes “1” or more. After the transition to the advantageous section, if the condition for terminating the advantageous section is satisfied while the CZ rank remains “0”, the procedure proceeds to the normal section without performing AT.

The “advantageous section” is a game section having the performance related to the instruction function (the instruction function may be activated). Specifically, when the instruction function is activated, the instruction content (advantaged on the main control board) Only when the push order instruction information is displayed (notified) so that the operation sequence can be identified, a signal related to the instruction function (for example, information on the push sequence that enables an advantageous operation mode to be grasped, and winning and replay) (A condition device number) to a sub-control board. In other words, the advantageous section is a game section in which the instruction function can be operated (the instruction function may be operated), and a game section in which an advantageous operation mode can be displayed (notified) (displayed (notified)). It is. The game in the advantageous section may be referred to as a notifiable game. Conversely, a game in the normal section or a game in the standby section may be referred to as an unreportable game (game in a non-advantaged section).
However, the sub-control board cannot output an effect contrary to the content of the instruction given by the main control board or the signal related to the received instruction function.

  Generally, in the advantageous section, the maximum payout number (“11” in the present embodiment) corresponding to the specified number (“3”) in the game (when the accessory is not operated) in which the instruction function operation game can be executed can be obtained. In a game that has been won in the condition device (small win A group) having an advantageous operation mode, instructing the operation mode of the stop switch in which the win (small win 01 to 03) relating to the maximum payout number wins It is necessary to perform at least one game or more by notifying the pressing order by a predetermined display device (eg, LED) electrically connected to the main control board. When the instruction function is operated so that the winning combination (small winning combinations 01 to 03) relating to the maximum payout number can be acquired, it is determined that "maximum instruction has been generated".

On the other hand, when shifting to the advantageous section based on the winning of the special combination, it is not always necessary to execute the instruction function operation game. In the present embodiment, in the normal section, since the transition to the advantageous section is performed based on the winning of the special combination (1BB or 2BB), it is not always necessary to execute the instruction function operation game.
In addition, after shifting to the advantageous section based on the winning of the small role or the replay, when the player wins the predetermined special role (for example, 1BB) without executing the instruction function operation game, or the special role related to the predetermined special role. When a game (for example, a 1BB game) is executed, it is not always necessary to execute the instruction function operation game.

In the present embodiment, the transition from the normal section to the standby section or the advantageous section is performed based on winning of 1BB or 2BB having no setting difference. Therefore, in the present embodiment, there is no case where the transition to the advantageous section is made based on the winning of the small role or the replay without winning the special role.
In particular, in the present embodiment, when 2BB is won and the 2BB game is completed, at that time, it is an advantageous section, but it is non-AT. Is determined by lot based on the operated condition device. The lottery of whether to shift to the AT corresponds to the “CZ rank addition lottery process” of the present embodiment. The CZ rank addition lottery process is executed when a condition device having no setting difference is operated.

Also, during the advantageous section, in a game that has been won for a role having an advantageous operation mode, the instruction function may always be activated to display the advantageous operation mode of the stop switch. That is, such a game section is “AT”. In the present embodiment, a main gaming state 2 or 16 (advantageous section) described later is a gaming state corresponding to AT, and the instruction function is always activated when the condition device that can activate the instruction function is activated.
On the other hand, during the advantageous section, even if the game has been won for a role having an advantageous operation mode, the instruction function may not be activated. In the present embodiment, a main gaming state 1 (advantage section) to be described later is a precursor, and is not a gaming state in which the instruction function is always activated. In the main gaming state 1, the instruction function is not activated when the pushing order bell (small role A group) is won, but the RT (RT2) is maintained by activating the instruction function when the pushing order replay (replay E group) is won.

Furthermore, the “standby section” refers to a game section when the transition to the advantageous section has not yet been made after the decision to shift to the advantageous section. The waiting section may or may not be provided. That is, a transition may be made from the normal section to the advantageous section, or from the normal section to the standby section, and further from this standby section to the advantageous section.
Here, in the standby section, it is not possible to activate the instruction function on the main control board or transmit a signal relating to the instruction function to the sub-control board. In the case where the instruction function is operated on the main control board and a signal related to the instruction function is transmitted to the sub-control board, the condition is that the vehicle is in the advantageous section.

In addition, the transition from the advantageous section to the standby section cannot be performed, and the transition to the normal section is always performed after the end of the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, when the special combination (1BB or 2BB) is won in the normal section, the processing always shifts to the standby section. When 2BB, which always wins in the game, is won, the process shifts to a standby section when 2BB is won, and is advantageous when 2BB wins (meaning "when the symbol combination stops". The same applies hereinafter). Move to the section. On the other hand, when 1BB is won in the game, the game shifts to the standby section, and the standby section is maintained until 1BB wins. Note that the standby section is not limited to ending when the special combination is won, but may be ended earlier.
In addition, a special combination that shifts to the standby section and a special combination that shifts to the advantageous section without shifting to the standby section may be determined in advance according to the type of the winning number including the special combination.

  In the advantageous section of the present embodiment, in the main game state 0 (preparing for precursor), since the 2BB operation is being performed, the instruction function is not operated. Further, in the main gaming state 1 (during a sign), as described above, the instruction function is not activated at the time of winning the pushing order bell, but the instruction function is activated at the time of winning the pressing order replay. In the main game state 2 or 16 corresponding to the AT, the instruction function is activated both in the pressing order replay winning and in the pressing order replay winning.

In the present embodiment, a determination (lottery or the like) is made during the AT to determine whether to add (add) the number of games played by the AT. When the AT of one set of 40 games is executed as in this embodiment, the number of sets is added, but the number of games in one set may not be added. Alternatively, both the addition of the number of games within one set and the addition of the number of sets may be executed, or neither of them may be set.
In the advantageous section, a continuation upper limit number of games (1,500 games in the present embodiment) is defined. At that time, the advantageous section and the AT are always ended, and the processing shifts to the normal section.

  Furthermore, when the maximum number of continuous games is reached in the advantageous section or AT, the maximum number of payouts (this indicates the maximum number of payouts when the accessory is not in operation. In the present embodiment, it is an advantageous operation mode capable of acquiring 11). Even if the player has not won the role (small win A group) once, the advantageous section is always ended at that time, and the routine shifts to the normal section.

The relationship between the advantageous section and the AT can be set arbitrarily. However, during AT, it is necessary to be in the advantageous section. For example, “advantage section = AT” may be set. In this case, the AT is continued during the advantageous section.
Further, the non-AT and the AT may be repeated during the advantageous section (at least one AT is executed). In the present embodiment, there are a case where the section is an advantageous section and AT (for example, main game state 2 or 16) and a case where the section is an advantageous section and non-AT (for example, main game state 0 or 1). Further, in the main gaming states 14 and 15, 1BB operation is being performed, and AT is not executed.
It should be noted that the transition to the advantageous section alone does not satisfy the AT execution condition, and on the condition that the AT is in the advantageous section, whether or not to execute the AT is determined by lottery or the like, and the AT is executed. When determined, the AT may be executed until the end condition of the AT is satisfied.

In the present embodiment, since the AT is executed in a state (RT2) in which the winning probability of the replay is high in principle, the ART is set.
However, as will be described later in detail (FIG. 19), when the SB or the replay 04 wins during RT2, the process shifts to RT1. When the game shifts to RT1, the game stays at RT1 unless the 333 game is consumed or 1BB or 2BB is won. Here, the winning probability of replay in RT1 of the present embodiment is about “1 / 7.3” (FIG. 11). Therefore, when AT is performed during RT1, ART is not strictly performed.

The pull-in rate (PB) means that a desired symbol to be stopped on the activated line is stopped on the activated line from the moment the stop switch is operated until the reel stops (the maximum number of moving symbols (frames)). Shows the probability of being able to do so.
If the stop switch is not operated at an appropriate reel position (at an operation timing at which the target symbol can be stopped at the active line within the range of the maximum number of moving symbols), the target symbol is stopped at the active line (up to the active line). The inability to perform the pull-in is referred to as “PB (pull-in rate) ≠ 1”.
On the other hand, regardless of the position of the reel at the moment when the stop switch is operated (regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch), the fact that the target symbol can always be stopped (pulled in) on the active line is described as “PB”. = 1 ".
In the following description, “PB = 1” indicates that the maximum number of symbols to be shifted is “4” except for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation. For the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum movement symbol is “1”.

“PB = 1” includes a case where the combination is such that all reels are so, and a case where only a specific (partial) reel is so.
In the present embodiment, since the maximum number of moving symbols is set to “4” (excluding the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation), when the target symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, “ "PB = 1", and when arranged at intervals exceeding 5 symbols (6 symbols or more), "PB ≠ 1" is obtained. In particular, the number of symbols on the reel of the present embodiment is set to “20”, and if four symbols are arranged at five symbol intervals, the symbol becomes “PB = 1”.

  In the case where the game progresses as “N−1” game eyes, “N” game eyes, “N + 1” game eyes,... (“N” is an integer of 2 or more), the current game is “N” games. When it is an eye, the game of the “N” game eye is referred to as “this game”. Also, the game of the “N−1” game eye is referred to as “previous game”. Further, the game of the “N + 1” game is referred to as “next game”.

The “game medium” is a medal in the present embodiment. For example, in the case of an enclosure type (ECO) game machine, electronic information (electronic medal, electronic data) is used as a game medium. In addition, "electronic information" means, for example, when money (banknote) is inserted into a lending machine, it is converted into electronic information corresponding to the money, and a part or all of the electronic information is played by a gaming machine. Can be stored in a gaming machine as a game medium for performing the game.
In the case where the game medium is electronic information, “payout of medals” means credit (addition) to the game medium storage device provided in the game machine. Therefore, in the present invention, the term “payout of medals” does not only mean that medals are actually paid out from the hopper, but the game media storage device (for example, the stored number display LED 76 of the embodiment) is used as a winning combination. A process of crediting (adding) electronic information corresponding to the payout is also included.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and the like.
<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of a slot machine 10, which is an example of a gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

The main control board 50 has an input port 51 and an output port 52, and includes an RWM 53, a ROM 54, a main CPU 55, and the like (this does not mean that only the one shown in FIG. 1 is provided).

In FIG. 1, a main control board 50 and peripheral devices for game progress including operation switches such as a bet switch 40 are electrically connected via an input port 51 or an output port 52. The input port 51 is a connection for inputting a signal from an operation switch or the like, and the output port 52 is a connection for transmitting a signal to a peripheral device such as the motor 32.
In FIG. 1, a signal from the input peripheral device is indicated by an arrow pointing to the main control board 50, and a signal from the output peripheral device is indicated by an arrow pointing from the main control board 50 to the peripheral device. (The same applies to the sub-control board 80).

The RWM 53 is a storage medium capable of storing (updating) various data (variables) based on the progress of a game or the like.
The ROM 54 is a storage medium for storing programs and various data (for example, data tables) necessary for the progress of the game.
The main CPU 55 refers to a CPU provided on the main control board 50 and executes a program necessary for the progress of a game, performs calculations, and the like. And the like.

The MPU including the RWM 53, the ROM 54, the main CPU 55, and the registers is mounted on the main control board 50. The RWM 53 and the ROM 54 may be provided outside the MPU, in addition to those mounted inside the MPU.
An MPU including an RWM 83, a ROM 84, and a sub CPU 85 is mounted on a sub control board 80 described later. It should be noted that the RWM 83 and the ROM 84 may be provided externally in addition to those mounted inside the MPU.

In FIG. 1, medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 are sent to the inside of the medal selector.
As shown in FIG. 1, the medal selector includes (but is not limited to) a passage sensor 43a, a blocker 45, and a closing sensor 44, and is electrically connected to the main control board 50.
When a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 43, the medal is first detected by the passage sensor 43a.

  Further, a blocker 45 is provided downstream of the passage sensor 43a. The blocker 45 is for permitting / non-permitting the insertion of medals. When the insertion of medals is not permitted, the blocker 45 forms a medal passage for returning the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 from the payout opening. I do. On the other hand, when the insertion of medals is permitted, a medal passage for guiding the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 to the hopper 35 is formed.

  Here, during the game (from the start of the rotation of the reel 31 to the end of the payout corresponding to the winning combination when all the reels 31 stop and the winning of the combination) during the game, the insertion of the medal is not permitted. I do. That is, the blocker 45 permits medal insertion at least when a game is not played.

  Further on the downstream side of the blocker 45, an input sensor (optical sensor) 44 is provided. In the present embodiment, the insertion sensor 44 includes a pair of insertion sensors arranged at a predetermined distance from each other, and is detected by the other insertion sensor after a predetermined time has elapsed since the medal was detected by one of the insertion sensors. Is configured. Then, it is determined whether or not a correct medal has been inserted based on the timing at which the pair of insertion sensors 44 are turned on / off.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main control board 50 includes, as operation switches operated by the player, a bet switch 40 (40a or 40b), a start switch 41, a (left, middle, right) stop switch 42, and The settlement switch 46 is electrically connected.
Here, the “operation switch (or simply“ switch ”)” switches on / off of an electric signal based on an operation of an operation body by a player (operator) (by receiving an external force). Refers to a device (including an electric circuit and / or an electric component), and does not limit the shape of the operation body operated by the player. When the operation switch is off, for example, light from the light emitting element continues to be incident on the light receiving element (when the light receiving element continues to detect light, the operation switch is off). Then, when the (operation body of) the operation switch is operated by the player or the like, the light from the light emitting element does not enter the light receiving element. When this state is detected, an electric signal indicating that the operation switch has been turned on is transmitted to the main control board 50. Contrary to the above, when the operation switch is in the off state, the light from the light emitting element does not enter the light receiving element, and is turned on when the light from the light emitting element enters the light receiving element. May be.

In the present embodiment, the operating body of the start switch 41 has a lever (bar) shape (for this reason, it is also referred to as a “start lever (switch) 41”), a bet switch 40, a stop switch 42, and a settlement switch. The operation body 46 has a push button shape (for this reason, it is also called a “bet button (switch) 40”, a “stop button (switch) 42”, and a “payment button (switch) 46”).
Although not shown in FIG. 1, an LED or the like (light emitting means) is provided on the operation body of the operation switch and / or around or near the operation body. When the operation of the operation switch is permitted, the LED or the like corresponding to the operation switch emits blue light. When the operation of the operation switch is not permitted, the operation of the operation switch is disabled. By emitting red light from an LED or the like, the permission / non-permission state of the operation switch is indicated to the player.

The bet switch 40 is an operation switch operated by the player when betting the stored medals for the current game. In the present embodiment, a 1-bet switch 40a for inserting one medal and a 3-bet switch 40b for inserting three (maximum or specified) medals are provided.
The present invention is not limited to this, and a bet switch for two bets may be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to three when the accessory is not activated, when the SB is activated, when the 1BB is activated, and two when the 2BB is activated. By operating the 1-bet switch 40a twice, two medals can be inserted. By operating the switch three times, three medals can be inserted. When the specified number is three, three medals can be inserted at a time by operating the three-bet switch 40b. When the specified number is two, the three-bet switch 40b is operated. Two medals can be inserted at a time.

The start switch 41 is an operation switch operated by the player when starting the reel 31 (all left, middle, and right).
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31 and are operation switches operated by the player when the corresponding reels 31 are stopped.
Further, the settlement switch 46 is an operation switch operated by the player when paying out (paying out) medals bet and / or stored (credited) inside the slot machine 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a display board 75 is electrically connected to the main control board 50. Note that a relay board is actually provided between the main control board 50 and the display board 75, and the main control board 50 and the relay board, and the relay board and the display board 75 are connected. In FIG. 1, the illustration of the relay board is omitted. Thus, the main control board 50 and the display board 75 may be directly connected by a harness or the like, or another board may be interposed between them.
Further, the control boards are not limited to being directly connected by a harness or the like, and may be connected via another separate board (such as a relay board). For example, one or more other boards (such as a relay board) may be interposed between the main control board 50 and the sub control board 80.

On the display board 75, a stored number display LED 76, an advantageous section display LED 77, and an acquired number display LED 78 are mounted.
The stored number display LED 76 is an LED for displaying the number of medals stored in the slot machine 10, and is composed of upper digits and lower digits. That is, the stored number display LED 76 displays two digits.
Here, the “digit” means a display unit (display), and in particular, in the present embodiment, is constituted by a seven-segment display (seven-segment display unit, so-called 7-segment).

The acquired number display LED 78 is an LED that displays the number of payouts (the number of acquired players) at the time of winning a winning combination, and is composed of upper digits and lower digits. Therefore, the acquired number display LED 78 displays two digits, like the stored number display LED 76.
The acquired number display LED 78 may be controlled so as to be turned off when there is no medal to be paid out. Alternatively, the upper digit may be turned off and only the lower digit may be displayed as “0”.

The acquired number display LED 78 normally displays the acquired number, but functions as an LED for displaying the content (type) of the error when an error occurs.
Furthermore, the acquired number display LED 78 functions as an LED that displays push order instruction information (to notify an advantageous push order notification) in the instruction function operation game. Therefore, the acquired number display LED 78 in the present embodiment is an LED that also serves to display the acquired number, error content, and push order instruction information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that a dedicated LED or the like for displaying the pressing order instruction information may be provided.
In the instruction function operation game, the notification of the advantageous pressing order is also executed by the image display device 23 connected to the sub-control board 80.

The advantageous section display LED 77 is an LED that is turned on during the advantageous section and is turned off during the non-advantage section (the normal section and the standby section), and is an LED for notifying the player that the section is an advantageous section. .
Although not shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the digit of the upper digit and / or lower digit of the stored number display LED 76 or the acquired number display LED 78 is a 7-segment display with a dot (DP; decimal point). , The lower-order dot of the acquired number display LED 78 is used as the advantageous section display LED 77. Needless to say, the lower-order dot of the stored number display LED 76 may be used as the advantageous section display LED 77.
Each digit is dynamically lit for each interruption process. For example, in one interrupt process, only one digit can be turned on, and the other digits are turned off. Then, in the next interrupt processing, only one other digit can be turned on, and the remaining digits are turned off.

In FIG. 1, a motor (stepping motor in this embodiment) 32 of the symbol display device and the like are electrically connected to the main control board 50.
The symbol display device includes a reel 31 (three in this embodiment) for displaying a symbol, a motor 32 for driving each of the reels 31, and a reel sensor 33 for detecting the position of the reel 31.

  The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the rotation center of each reel 31, and is controlled by reel control means 65 described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 operated when stopping the left reel 31 is a left stop switch 42. When stopping the middle reel 31, The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

The reel 31 has a ring shape, and has an outer peripheral surface to which a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a symbol combination corresponding to a combination) are printed is attached. The specific arrangement of the symbols on the reel 31 will be described later.
Further, each reel 31 is provided with one index (may be two or more). The index is provided in a convex shape, for example, on a peripheral side surface of the reel 31 and is used when detecting whether the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position, whether or not the reel 31 has rotated once, and the like. Each index is detected by the reel sensor 33. The signal of the reel sensor 33 is electrically connected to the main control board 50. When the index detects (turns off) the reel sensor 33, the input signal is input to the main control board 50, and it is detected that the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position.

  Further, the symbol on the reference position at the moment when the reel sensor 33 detects the index of the reel 31 is stored in the ROM 54 in advance. Thereby, the symbol on the reference position at the moment when the index is detected can be detected. Further, from the moment when the reel sensor 33 detects the index of the reel 31, how many pulses of the (stepping) motor 32 are driven, the number of symbols ahead of the symbol on the reference position are stopped on the active line. Can be identified.

  A medal payout device is electrically connected to the main control board 50. The medal payout device includes a hopper 35 for storing medals, a hopper motor 36 driven when paying out medals of the hopper 35 from a payout opening, and a payout for detecting medals paid out from the hopper motor 36. The sensor 37 is provided.

The medals that have been serviced and received from the medal insertion slot 43 are formed so as to be accommodated in the hopper 35 through a predetermined passage (also referred to as a “chute portion”).
In the present embodiment, the payout sensor (optical sensor) 37 is composed of a pair of payout sensors arranged at a predetermined distance from each other. It is configured to be detected by the sensor 37. Then, based on the timing at which the pair of payout sensors 37 are turned on / off, it is determined whether or not the medal has been correctly paid out.

For example, when the signals of the pair of payout sensors 37 are both off even though the hopper motor 36 is driven, it is determined that medals have not been paid out and a hopper error (no medals) is detected. Is done.
On the other hand, when at least one of the signals of the payout sensor 37 remains ON, it is detected that the medal is clogged.

Further, an external signal (outer end signal) to the external centralized terminal board 100 is output from a part of the output port 52.
Here, the “external signal” is a signal to be output to the outside of the slot machine 10 (the hall computer 200, a data counter installed in the hall, or the like) via the external centralized terminal board 100. In the present embodiment, as an external signal, a signal relating to an AT (advantage section) or a special game, a signal indicating that an error has occurred in the slot machine 10 or that power has been restored (power has been turned on), a slot machine, or the like A signal indicating the opening of the front door 10, a medal bet signal, a medal payout signal, and the like are provided.

In FIG. 1, a sub-control board 80 controls selection and output of effects (information) during a game and during a game standby.
Here, the main control board 50 and the sub-control board 80 are electrically connected. Sends information (control commands) necessary for the output of the effect.
The main control board 50 and the sub control board 80 are not limited to being electrically connected, but may be connected using optical communication means. Further, both the electrical connection and the optical communication connection are not limited to parallel communication, but may be serial communication, or may use both serial communication and parallel communication.

The sub control board 80 includes an input port 81, an output port 82, an RWM 83, a ROM 84, a sub CPU 85, and the like, like the main control board 50.
The following peripheral devices such as the following effect lamps 21 as shown in FIG. 1 are electrically connected to the sub-control board 80 via the input port 81 or the output port 82. However, the peripheral devices for the effect are not limited to these.
The RWM 83 is a storage medium that can temporarily store data and the like captured when the sub CPU 85 controls the effect.
The ROM 84 is a storage medium for storing, as effect data, a program for performing a lottery relating to the effect, various data, and the like.

  The effect lamp 21 is, for example, an LED or the like, and lights in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The effect lamp 21 includes a back lamp and a reel 31 which are arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and illuminate the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols vertically continuous from the display window 17) from behind. , A fluorescent lamp for illuminating a symbol on the reel 31 from above, a frame lamp which is arranged on the front face of the front door of the slot machine 10 and blinks when winning a winning combination, and the like.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a dot display, and the like. And game information (such as the number of games played and the number of acquired games during the operation of the accessory and in the advantageous section (AT)).

  The chance button 24 is an operation switch that is used for, for example, outputting an image prompting the player to perform an operation during the effect and causing the player to perform the operation, thereby developing the effect to the next stage. When prompting the operation of the chance button 24, an LED provided inside or around the chance button 24 is turned on, so that a signal can be output from the sub-control board 80 to the chance button 24. To enable the sub-control board 80 to detect that the chance button 24 has been operated, a signal indicating that the chance button 24 has been operated can be input to the sub-control board 80.

Subsequently, the combination, symbol combination, and the like of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reel 31 in the present embodiment. FIG. 2 also shows the symbol numbers. For example, on the left reel 31, the symbol with symbol number 0 is "blank".
As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, each reel 31 is equally divided into 20 frames, and a predetermined symbol is displayed on each frame.
The replay symbols include replay A and replay B. At first glance, the two symbols look like the same symbol, but they are similar to the extent that they are different symbols when closely observed. The same applies to the design of the watermelon having the watermelon A and the watermelon B.
The “blank” symbol does not mean that nothing is displayed, but actually a predetermined (light color) symbol is displayed.

FIG. 3 shows an image display device 23 provided on the front portion of the slot machine 10, a display window (transparent window) 17, a positional relationship between the reels 31, and an effective line (a display line for displaying a symbol combination). FIG.
The reel 31 disposed inside can be seen through the display window 17.
In the present embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in the present embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged such that three vertically continuous symbols can be seen from the display window 17. Therefore, the symbols are arranged so that a total of nine symbols (frames) can be seen from the display window 17 of the slot machine 10.

  Further, FIG. 3 illustrates the names of the symbol positions in this specification. In the present specification, the symbol positions at the time of stoppage that can be seen from the display window 17 for each reel 31 are referred to as “upper row”, “middle row”, and “lower row” in order from the top. , "Middle left," and "bottom left."

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, effective lines are set for nine symbols visible from the display window 17.
Here, the "effective line" is a symbol arrangement line (display line) for forming a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is displayed. When the player stops at that line, the winning line of the role is obtained. In the present embodiment, the activated line is set to be the same for the prescribed number of three cards (when playing a game with three bets) and for the prescribed number of two cards (when playing a game with two bets).
The effective line of the present embodiment is a so-called downward-sloping straight line (“upper left”-“middle middle”-“lower right”). The others are invalid lines.

  Further, in FIG. 3, the image display device 23 is provided above the display window 17. In the example of FIG. 3, the display of the pressing order during AT and a meter for indicating the AT winning expectation degree are illustrated. These effects will be described later.

FIGS. 4 to 7 are diagrams showing types, combinations of symbols, payout numbers, and the like in the present embodiment, such as a combination corresponding to a winning number drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later.
The role of the present embodiment is roughly divided into a special role, a replay (replaying role), and a small role.
Then, a symbol combination corresponding to each combination, the number of payouts at the time of winning, and the like are determined. When all the reels 31 stop, the symbol combination corresponding to one of the combinations stops on the activated line (the combination wins, the same applies hereinafter), and the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out.
However, the payout number at the time of winning the special combination is set to zero. In the replay, medals are automatically inserted (replay).
In the symbol combination, “-” (for example, the symbol of the middle reel 31 of the role number “041”) means “ANY (arbitrary symbol)”.

In FIGS. 4 to 7, “three” displayed in the specified number and the game state indicates the number of payouts when the specified number is three, and “two” indicates that the specified number is two. The number of payouts at a certain time is shown. Further, "three (1)" indicates the time when the accessory is not operated, and "three (2)" indicates the time when the SB is activated (during SB game). Furthermore, “3 sheets (3)” indicates the time of 1BBA to 1BBC operation, and “2 sheets (4)” indicates the time of 2BBA to 2BBC operation.
For example, the replay 01 of the role number “012” indicates that the specified number of three (1), (2), and two (4) is a replay, and the “−” of the specified number of three (3) is , Indicates that the lottery will not be drawn.

In FIG. 4, combination numbers "001" to "011" correspond to special combinations (combinations). In this embodiment, three types of 1BB (1BBA to 1BBC), three types of 2BB (2BBA to 2BBC), and one type of SB are provided as special roles.
The special role is a role to shift from the normal game to the special game.
When any one of the 1BBs wins, there is no payout of medals in the current game, but the next game shifts to a 1BB game (1BB operation) corresponding to a special game.
During the 1BB game (when the accessory is activated), since the payout rate is set to exceed “1”, a medal can be expected to be expected more than when the accessory is not activated, which is an advantageous game for the player. .

Similarly, when 2BB wins, there is no payout of medals in this game, but a 2BB game corresponding to a special game is executed from the next game (operation of 2BB).
Similarly, when the SB wins, there is no payout of medals in this game, but in the next game (1 game), the SB game corresponding to the special game is executed (SB operation).

In addition, the replay (replaying role) is a role in which the number of medals inserted in the game this time is maintained (medal is automatically bet) so that a replaying can be performed. For example, when the specified number of the current game is “3”, the replay wins, and when the specified number of the next game is “2”, the number of medals inserted in the current game is not maintained, and The prescribed number of games “2” may be automatically bet.
The replay of the present embodiment includes replays 01 to 05 (role numbers "012" to "044") as shown in FIGS.

The replay includes a replay where the RT shifts and a replay where the RT does not shift when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay is stopped and displayed on the activated line. The former may be referred to as RT transition replay (or simply "transition replay").
Although details will be described later, as shown in FIG. 19, when the replay 04 wins at RT2, the next game shifts to RT1.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the small combination includes small combinations 01 to 18 (combination numbers “045” to “096”).
If the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the small part A group (described later), one of the small parts 01 to 03 wins. The small wins 01 to 03 are the small wins with the largest number of payouts among the small wins provided in the present embodiment (when the accessory is not operated).
On the other hand, the payout number of the small wins 08 to 14 is set to three.
The small wins 15 to 17 are set to eight, and the small wins 18 (only when 1BB is activated) are set to eleven.
The small win 08 is a small win that can be awarded when the push order is incorrect when the small win A group is won.
The small wins 09 to 11 have a role as a control win at the time of winning the small win A group.
Further, the small wins 12 to 17 have a role as rare small wins (for example, at the time of winning, an advantageous lottery regarding the advantageous section and the AT is executed).
Furthermore, the small win 18 is a small win that can be stopped only during 1BB operation.

In each of the above-mentioned roles, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination does not stop on the activated line in the game won, the combination to be carried over after the next game and the combination not to be carried over are defined.
The handover carried over is 1BB (1BBA to 1BBC) in the present embodiment. Since the symbol combination of 1BB is set to “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where no winning is made in a game that has won 1BB. When 1BB is won, in the game until 1BB wins, control is performed so that the winning information of 1BB is carried over after the next game.

Also, 2BB is a special combination that can be carried over after the next game, like the 1BB. However, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination of 2BB is set to “PB = 1”, and is set so as to always win a winning game. Therefore, in the present embodiment, there is no case where the won 2BB is carried over after the next game.
In addition, when an SB, a small role, or a replay is won, the winning combination is valid only in this game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game in which the winning combination is won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination can be won, but regardless of whether or not the winning combination is won, at the end of the game, The right to the winning role will cease.

In FIG. 8, (a) is a diagram illustrating the types and performances of special combinations in the present embodiment, and (b) is a diagram illustrating an operation termination condition of the special combinations.
As shown in FIG. 8A, 1BB of the present embodiment includes three types of 1BBA to 1BBC, and all have “7” of any color. One of “blue 7”, “red 7”, “white 7”, and “blue 7” is arranged on each reel 31 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the symbol combination of 1BB is “PB ≠ 1”.
When 1BBA is won and the game shifts to 1BBA game, RBA (regular bonus) is continuously operated. No symbol combination corresponding to RBA is provided.

  The RBA is completed by two games or two prizes, or by ending the operation of 1BBA. The 1BBA operation end condition is set to pay out more than 264 medals. Therefore, during 1BBA operation, the RBA is operated continuously until two games or two prizes are won, and it is determined whether or not every game has paid out more than 264 medals. If the payout of more than 264 medals has not been performed, the RBA is continued. Then, when two games or two prizes are won by the continuous operation of the RBA, the operation of the RBA is temporarily terminated. Next, it is determined whether or not the payout of more than 264 medals has been performed. When the payout of more than 264 medals has been performed, the operation termination condition of 1BBA is satisfied, so the operation of 1BBA is terminated. This terminates the operation of the RBA. On the other hand, when it is determined that the payout of more than 264 medals has not been performed, the operation of the RBA is started again.

  Also, when 1BBC or 1BBC wins, respectively, and shifts to 1BBB game and 1BBC game, respectively, RBB (regular bonus) continuously operates. No symbol combination corresponding to RBB is provided. Continuous operation of the RBB during 1BBB or 1BBC operation is the same as 1BBA and RBA described above. The 1BBB operation and the 1BBC operation end with the payout of more than 242 medals.

The 2BB of the present embodiment includes three types, 2BBA to 2BBC.
For example, the symbol combination of 2BBA is set to "blue 7 / watermelon A"-"bell"-"bell", and the symbols of each reel 31 are all arranged at "PB = 1". Similarly, the symbol combination of 2BBB is "red 7 / replay B / watermelon B"-"bell"-"bell", and the symbol combination of 2BBC is "blue 7 / watermelon A"-"watermelon A"-" Replay A ", and the symbols on each reel 31 are all arranged at" PB = 1 ".
Therefore, 2BB of this embodiment wins with "PB = 1".
During 2BB operation, CB is set to operate continuously. No CB symbol combination is provided.
In addition, the 2BBA to 2BBC games of the present embodiment are all ended by paying out more than one medal or by SB operation (SB win). The 2BB game is a situation in which the CB is continuously operated. In this case, it means that the winning flags of all the small wins are set (all the small wins can be awarded). . Hereinafter, this situation is referred to as “winning ALL”.

During the 2BB game, predetermined replays (replays C and D) and SBs are drawn by lot.
During the 2BB game, if neither the predetermined replay (replay C and D) nor the SB has been won, the winning flag of the winning ALL is set by the operation of the CB, and any of the small wins is won. The winning combination at the time of CB operation changes depending on the pressing order and the operation timing. This will be described later.

Further, even if the SB is won in the 2BB game, the SB is not won and the winning ALL is controlled so as to be prioritized. Since the winning of the SB during the 2BB game satisfies the condition for terminating the 2BB game, control is performed so as to end the 2BB game in the game.
Furthermore, when the replay C or D is won in the 2BB game, the replay C or D is controlled to win in the game. In this case, the game is a re-game, and does not satisfy the condition of “payout exceeding one”, which is the end condition of the 2BB game. Therefore, in the 2BB game, the 2BB game does not end as long as the player continues to win the replay C or D.

  When starting the game, the player inserts medals stored in advance by operating the bet switch 40 (storage bet) or cares and inserts medals from the medal insertion slot 43 (care bet). When the start switch 41 is operated in a state where a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the gaming state are bet, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control board 50. Upon receiving this signal, the main control board 50 (specifically, a reel control means 65 described later) performs the lottery of the winning number by the role lottery means 61, and controls the driving of all the motors 32 so that all the motors 32 are driven. The reel 31 is controlled to rotate. When the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this manner, the symbol on the reel 31 is moved and displayed in the display window 17 at a predetermined speed in the vertical direction.

  Then, by pressing the stop switch 42, the player stops the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control board 50. Upon receiving this signal, the main control board 50 (specifically, a reel control unit 65 described later) controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and responds to the lottery result of the combination lottery unit 61. Thus, the stop control of the reel 31 related to the motor 32 is performed.

  Then, the game result of the current game is displayed by the symbol combination when all the reels 31 are stopped. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the activated line (when the winning combination is won), payout of medals corresponding to the winning winning combination is performed.

Next, a specific configuration of the main control board 50 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main CPU 55 of the main control board 50 includes the following role lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are exemplifications, and are not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.

  The role lottery means 61 performs lottery (decision, selection) of the winning number. Then, when the winning number is determined, the winning and replay condition device number and the accessory condition device number are determined based on the winning number, and the winning and replay condition device and the accessory that can be operated in the game are determined. The condition device will be determined. Therefore, the role lottery means 61 is also referred to as a condition device number determination (lottery or selection) means, a winning combination determination (lottery or selection) means, or the like.

  The role lottery means 61 includes, for example, a random number generating means for random selection (hardware random number or the like), a random number extracting means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generating means, and a random number value extracted by the random number extracting means. Winning number determining means for determining a winning number.

  The random number generating means generates a random number in a predetermined area (for example, “0” to “65535” in decimal). The random number is, for example, a random number that is counted by a counter that counts one in 200 n (nano) seconds and keeps counting in a range from “0” to “65535” as one cycle, and is a random number while the power of the slot machine 10 is turned on. Keep counting.

  The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determining means determines the winning number corresponding to the area to which the random value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extracting means with a lottery table described later. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the area of the winning number “1”, the winning number in the game is determined to be “1”. When the winning number is “1”, the winning and replay condition device number in the game is “1” (replay A1), and the accessory condition device number is “0”.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams showing the winning numbers drawn by the winning lottery means 61, the condition device numbers corresponding to the winning numbers, the contents of the winning combinations included in the condition device numbers, and the like.
9 and 10, the winning numbers “0” to “38” are serial numbers including all winnings of the special role, the small role, and the replay.
“Number 1” is a winning and replay condition device number (condition device number not including a special combination).
Further, “No. 2” is the accessory condition device number including the special combination.

  As described above, among the winning numbers “0” to “38”, the winning numbers “0” to “22” are winning numbers that do not include the special role, and the winning numbers “23” to “38” , Winning numbers including special roles. Thus, by determining whether or not the winning number determined by the role lottery means 61 is less than “23”, the process of determining (generating) a winning and replay condition device number and a character condition device number is simplified. Can be.

Specifically, when the winning number is less than “23”, the determined winning number can be directly stored as a winning and replay condition device number at a predetermined address of the RWM 53.
On the other hand, if the winning number is not less than “23”, a control process for generating the accessory condition device number and the winning and replay condition device number from the determined winning number is executed. For example, a specific table for generating the accessory condition device number and the winning and replay condition device number from the winning number is provided. Then, based on the winning number and the specific table, it is possible to generate a bonus item condition device number and a winning and replay condition device number, and the generated bonus item condition device number, and the generated winning and replay condition device number, Each can be stored at a predetermined address of the RWM 53.

  In a situation where any one of "1" to "4" is stored in the address for storing the accessory condition device number (so-called inside special role (1BB)), the winning numbers "23" to "38" are obtained. Is controlled so that the accessory condition device number generated based on the winning number is not overwritten on the address storing the accessory condition device number.

  9 and 10, the “production GRP (group) number” is set in association with the winning and replay condition device number, and is a number transmitted to the sub-control board 80. The sub-control board 80 determines an effect based on the effect group number received from the main control board 50. For example, the effect group numbers of the winning numbers “8 (small win A1)” to “13 (small win A6)” are all “6”. Upon receiving the effect group number “6”, the sub-control board 80 can output an effect corresponding to the winning of the bell.

  Here, in a non-AT game (a game in which the correct answer pressing order is not notified), the main control board 50 transmits the determined effect group number to the sub control board 80 to the sub control board 80. The order designation number is not transmitted to the sub control board 80. Then, on the sub-control board 80 side, in the game during non-AT, the effect is determined based on the received effect group number. Therefore, for example, when the effect group number “6” is received, an effect indicating that one of the bells (or small roles) has been won (for example, in a color effect, a yellow effect corresponding to the bell, Can be output, but it is not possible to output an effect relating to the order of correct answers. In addition, since the pressing order instruction number is not transmitted from the main control board 50 to the sub-control board 80, an improper information transmission path between the sub-control board 80 or the information transmission path between the main control board 50 and the sub-control board 80 is required. Since it is not possible to attach an electronic device and acquire the correct answer pressing order illegally, it is possible to prevent a gobbling action.

  On the other hand, in the game during the AT (game for notifying the correct pressing order), the main control board 50 transmits the pressing order instruction number and the effect group number to the sub control board 80. Thus, the sub-control board 80 can output an effect relating to the correct answer pressing order separately from the operation of the instruction function by the main control substrate 50, in addition to the effect of the winning combination.

In FIGS. 9 and 10, RTs to be drawn are indicated by “○”. For example, in the replay B of the winning number “2”, it means that the lottery is performed during the non-RT, RT2, and SB games.
In the “setting difference”, “present” means that the winning probability of the winning number is not the same for all the setting values. On the other hand, when the “setting difference” is “absent”, it indicates that the winning probability of the winning number is the same for all the setting values.
Note that “not equal in all set values” means that the winning probabilities are different in all of the settings 1 to 6 and that the winning probability in at least one set value is different from the winning probability in at least one other set value. Including.
As described above, when the lottery of the advantageous section is performed in association with the winning number, the lottery needs to be performed when the winning number having no setting difference is determined. Therefore, the winning numbers for which the lottery of the advantageous section can be executed are limited to those having the “setting difference” of “none”.

  Furthermore, "lottery in the advantageous section" means a lottery relating to the AT during the advantageous section (specifically, a CZ rank lottery, a CZ rank addition lottery, an additional lottery, a precursor counter addition lottery, a continuous lottery (described later) Lottery or common continuation lottery) or the like, and “○” in the figure means that any one of these lotteries is executed during the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, during the advantageous section, at the time of the replay D election during the 2BB game, at the election of the small role group A, at the election of the small role B to E, at the time of the SB election during the 2BB game, and during the RBB (1BBB or 1BBC) game When one of the small wins H, I, and J is won, 1BBB is won, 1BBC is won, and 2BB is won, one of these lotteries is executed.

In FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the winning numbers for winning the replay are the winning numbers "1" to "7", and the winning numbers for the small role alone being the winning numbers "8" to "22". . The winning numbers for winning the special role (single winning of the special role or overlapping winning of the special role and small role or replay) are the winning numbers “23” to “38”.
In the present embodiment, the winning of the special role corresponds to the winning of 1BB, 2BB or SB, and corresponds to the winning numbers “23” to “38” and the numbers 2 “1” to “7”.

  Here, when the number 2 is “1”, it indicates that the winning special role is 1BBA, and when it is “2”, it indicates that the winning special role is 1BBB, and is “3”. Sometimes it indicates that the winning special role is 1BBC. Similarly, when the number 2 is “4”, it indicates that the winning special role is 2BBA, when it is “5”, it indicates that the winning special role is 2BBB, and when it is “6”. Indicates that the winning special role is 2BBC. Similarly, when the number 2 is "7", it indicates that the winning special role is SB.

In FIG. 9, for example, when the winning number is “1”, the winning and replay condition device number is “1” (winning of replay A), and the accessory condition device number is “0”.
On the other hand, for example, when the winning number is “23”, the winning and replay condition device number is “0”, and the accessory condition device number is “7” (SB single winning).

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, there is a case where the special role and the small role or the replay are repeatedly won. For example, the winning number “24” is a double winning of the 1BBA and the small role B, and the winning and replay condition device numbers are “14” and the accessory condition device number are “1”.
When the special role and the small role or the replay are won twice, the winning of the small role or the replay is prioritized in this game (this priority can be set arbitrarily). In addition, the winning of the small role or the replay is valid only in the current game, so that the winning is not carried over to the next game, but the winning information of 1BB is carried over to the next game unless a prize is won.

  In particular, in the first embodiment, the symbols of the small win and the replay are arranged such that “PB = 1” is obtained when the condition devices related to the small win and the replay are activated. Therefore, in a game in which the special role and the small role or the replay are duplicated, the winning small role or the replay wins with priority, and the winning special role does not win. In addition, at the time of winning the special role alone, the special role won in the game can be won by pushing the symbol related to the special role that has been won.

Next, the symbol arrangement (FIG. 2) in the present embodiment will be described. Note that “PB = 1” in the following description of the symbol arrangement excludes the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation.
As shown in FIG. 2, four “Replay A” are arranged at five symbol intervals on the middle and right reels 31. Thus, “Replay A” on the middle and right reels 31 is in the “PB = 1” arrangement. When the number of symbols on the reel 31 is set to "20" and the maximum number of symbols to be moved is set to "4", if four target symbols are arranged at intervals of five symbols, the target symbol becomes "PB = 1".
The “watermelon A” of the middle reel 31 is arranged at an interval of 5 symbols or less, and has a “PB = 1” arrangement (the middle reel 31 of the replay 04).
Similarly, in all the reels 31, four "bells" are arranged at five symbol intervals. As a result, the “bells” of all the reels 31 are in the “PB = 1” arrangement.

Furthermore, in the left reel 31, five of "Replay A" or "Replay B" are arranged at intervals of five symbols or less. Thus, on the left reel 31, the “PB = 1” arrangement is obtained by adding “Replay A / Replay B”.
Similarly, in the middle reel 31, four "watermelon B" or "cherry" are arranged at five symbol intervals. As a result, in the middle reel 31, the “PB = 1” arrangement is obtained by adding “watermelon B / cherry”.

Furthermore, on the left reel 31, either "watermelon A" or "blue 7" is arranged at five symbol intervals. Thus, “watermelon A / blue 7” on the left reel 31 is in the “PB = 1” arrangement (left reel 31 of 2BBA and 2BBC).
Further, on the left reel 31, any one of "Red 7", "Replay B", and "Watermelon B" is arranged at intervals of five symbols or less. As a result, “red 7 / replay B / watermelon B” on the left reel 31 is in the “PB = 1” arrangement (2BBB, replay 04, and left reel 31 of small role 07).

Furthermore, in the middle reel 31, five "watermelons A" are arranged at intervals within five symbols. Thus, “watermelon A” on the middle reel 31 is in the “PB = 1” arrangement.
Further, on the right reel 31, four "watermelon A" or "replay B" are arranged at five symbol intervals. Thus, the “watermelon A / replay B” on the right reel 31 is in the “PB = 1” arrangement (the right reel 31 of the small role 03).

In the right reel 31, "cherry" is arranged at five symbol intervals. Therefore, the “cherry” of the right reel 31 is in the “PB = 1” arrangement (the right reels 31 of the small wins 12 to 14).
Furthermore, on the left reel 31, "blank", "white 7", "replay B", "watermelon B", and "red 7" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, the symbols are arranged in the “PB = 1” arrangement (the left reel 31 of the replay 02).
Further, on the right reel 31, "blue 7", "blank", "white 7", or "red 7" are arranged at an interval of 5 symbols in the sum of these 4 symbols, so that " PB = 1 ”(right reel 31 of replay 02). That is, regardless of the timing at which the stop switch 42 is operated, any one of “blue 7”, “blank”, “white 7”, or “red 7” can be stopped on the active line.

Hereinafter, the winning numbers and their condition devices in FIGS. 9 and 10 will be described.
The winning number “0” is a winning number that results in a non-winning (so-called loss) of a role.
Replay A with the winning number “1” and replay B with the winning number “2” are both duplicates of the replay including replay 01. When the condition device is operated, the replay 01 is won. During the SB game, the player may win the replay B only during non-RT.
The replay C of the winning number “3” and the replay D of the winning number “4” are the winnings of the replay including the replay 05. When the condition device is operated, the replay 05 is controlled to win. Replay C is a replay having a setting difference in the winning probability (described later), while replay D is a replay having no setting difference. During the 2BB game, replay C and replay D are selected by lottery, and when replay D is won, a lottery (described later) relating to the advantageous section (AT) is executed.
At the time of winning the replay C and the replay D, the replay 05 wins, so that it is apparent to the player that the player has won the appearance.

The winning numbers “5” to “7” are replay E groups. The replay E group has three types of replays E1 to E3, and is a winning combination of replays including replays 02 and 04 as winning combinations, respectively.
At the time of the replay E group winning, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay 02 wins at the specific first stop and the replay 04 wins at the other first stop.
When the condition device of the replay E1 is activated, the replay 02 is awarded when the pushing order is "1--" (meaning the first left stop), and the replay 04 is awarded when the middle or right first stop is performed.
When the condition device of the replay E2 is activated, the replay 02 is awarded when the pressing order is “−1−” (meaning the first stop in the middle), and the replay 04 is awarded when the left or right first stop is performed. .
Furthermore, when the condition device of the replay E3 is activated, the replay 02 is awarded when the pushing order is “−1” (meaning the first right stop), and the replay 04 is awarded when the left or middle first stop is performed. Let it.

In the present embodiment, the winning numbers “5” to “7” are drawn in RT2, and RT2 is maintained when Replay02 wins, and functions as RT shift replay that shifts (falls) from RT2 to RT1 when Replay04 wins. I do.
In the case of the replay overlapping winning, the replay (replaying game) wins regardless of the pushing order, so that there is no concept of higher / lower for payout of medals and the like. However, when the replay E1 is won at RT2, the replay 02 wins at the first left stop and maintains RT2. On the other hand, in the middle or right first stop, the replay 04 wins and shifts from RT2 to RT1 (RT which is more disadvantageous for the player than RT2).

The small wins A1 to A6 with the winning numbers "8" to "13" are so-called push order bells in which the push order is 6 choices. The condition devices of the small combination A1 and the small combination A2 include small combination 01 and 08 as the winning combination. Then, when the pressing order is correct, a small combination 01 (11 when the role is not activated) is won, and when the pressing order is incorrect, a small combination 08 (three) is won.
In the pushing order bell, in the drawing, the pushing order “123” means the pushing order “left center right”. Similarly, the pressing order “132” indicates the pressing order “left / right center”, the pressing order “213” indicates the pressing order “middle left / right”, the pressing order “312” indicates the pressing order “middle right / left”, and the pressing order “231” indicates a pressing order “right and left middle”, and a pressing order “321” indicates a pressing order “right center left”.
Note that, unlike the present embodiment, it is also possible to set the winning combination to be missed (non-winning of the combination) at a fixed rate when the pushing order is incorrect when the pushing order bell is won. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the pushing order is incorrect, three small wins 08 are set to win with "PB = 1".

First, "Small win A1" will be described as an example.
The correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the small part A1 is “123 (left center right)”. Therefore, at the left first stop, the small win 01 is awarded. The symbol combination of the small role 01 is “blue 7 / watermelon A” − “bell” − “bell”. Since “bell” is arranged in “PB = 1” on all the reels 31, the small combination 01 always wins. Can be done.
At the time of the first stop on the left, it is undecided whether the answer is correct or incorrect, but when the left reel 31 is stopped, "blue 7 / watermelon" A "is stopped.

On the other hand, at the time of the middle or right first stop, the pressing order incorrect answer is determined at this time, so that the control is performed so that the small win 08 is won without the small win 01.
For example, at the time of the first stop in the middle, the “bell” is stopped in the active line (middle middle). In this case, when the left reel 31 stops thereafter, “blue 7 / watermelon A” is stopped, and when the right reel 31 stops, “replay B / watermelon A” is stopped.
Similarly, at the time of the first stop on the right, “Replay B / watermelon A” is stopped on the activated line (lower right). In this case, "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped thereafter, and "bell" is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

When "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped at the upper left stage at the first left stop, if the middle is the second stop, the push order correct answer is determined at this time. “Replay A” is stopped in the middle stage. Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped thereafter, the "bell" is stopped at the lower right.
On the other hand, when "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left stage at the first left stop, if the right stop is the second stop, the pressing order incorrect answer is determined at this time, so the right second stop Sometimes, “Replay B / watermelon A” is stopped at the lower right. Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped thereafter, the "bell" is stopped at the middle and middle stage.

As described above, when the pushing order is correct, "blue 7 / watermelon A"-"replay A"-"bell" is stopped on the activated line. At this time, "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (lower horizontal bell) stops at "lower left"-"middle lower"-"lower right".
When the push order is incorrect, "blue 7 / watermelon A"-"bell"-"replay B / watermelon A" is stopped on the activated line. At this time, "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (bell rising to the right) stops in "lower left"-"middle middle"-"upper right".

  The above control is the same for the small wins A2 to A6. When the condition device of the small win A2 is activated, the small win 01 is awarded when the correct answer is "132", and the small win 08 is awarded when the push is another order.

The condition devices of the small win A3 and the small win A4 include a small win 02 that wins when the push order is correct, and a small win 08 that wins when the push order is incorrect.
For example, when the condition device of the small win A3 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is “213 (middle left / right)”. In this case, in the case of the first stop in the middle, since the pressing order correct answer / incorrect answer has not been determined at this time, the symbol relating to the middle reel 31 of the small role 02 is stopped in the middle middle stage. Here, the symbol of the middle reel 31 of the small combination 02 is “ANY” (combination number “047” in FIG. 6), but in the present embodiment, control is performed so as to stop “bell”.

Next, in the case of the second stop on the left side, the correct answer in the pressing order is determined at this time, and thus, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the upper left. Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the lower right. As a result, a downward-sloping bell stops.
On the other hand, if it is the second right stop after the middle first stop, the pushing order is incorrect at this time, so "Replay B / watermelon A" is stopped at the lower right in order to win the small part 08. . When the left reel 31 is stopped, "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped at the upper left stage (bell rising to the right).

In addition, when the condition device of the small win A3 is activated, when the left first stop is performed, the pushing order is incorrect at this time. Let it. Thereafter, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped, and when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "replay B / watermelon A" is stopped (upward bell).
When the condition device of the small win A3 is activated, the reels 31 are also stopped at the first right stop (bell rising to the right) in the same manner as described above.
When the condition device of the small win A4 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is “312 (middle right left)”. In this case, as in the case of operating the small win A3 condition device, the small win 02 is awarded when the push order is correct, and the small win 08 is awarded when the push order is incorrect.

The condition devices of the small win A5 and the small win A6 include a small win 03 that wins when the push order is correct, and a small win 08 that wins when the push order is incorrect.
For example, when the condition device of the small win A5 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is "231 (middle right and left)". In this case, if it is the first stop on the right, since the correct answer / incorrect answer in the pushing order is not determined at this time, the symbol “Replay B / watermelon A” related to the right reel 31 of the small role 03 is displayed at the lower right. Stop in the middle.

Next, in the case of the second stop on the left side, the correct answer in the pressing order is determined at this time, and thus, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the upper left. Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “watermelon B / cherry” is stopped at the middle middle stage. As a result, the upper horizontal bell stops.
On the other hand, if it is the middle second stop after the right first stop, the pushing order is incorrect at this point, so the "bell" is stopped in the middle and middle stage to win the small part 08. When the left reel 31 is stopped, "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped at the upper left stage (bell rising to the right).

Also, when the condition device of the small win A5 is activated, when the first stop on the left side is performed, the pushing order is incorrect at this time, so that "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped at the upper left to win the small win 08. Let it. Thereafter, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped, and when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "replay B / watermelon A" is stopped (upward bell).
When the condition device of the small role A5 is activated, the respective reels 31 are also stopped at the middle first stop (bell rising to the right) in the same manner as described above.
When the condition device of the small win A6 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is “321 (right center left)”. In this case, as in the case of operating the small win A5 condition device, the small win 03 is won when the push order is correct, and the small win 08 is won when the push order is incorrect.

  The small win B (common bell) with the winning number “14” is a condition device that is controlled so that the bells are stopped regardless of the pushing order, and includes small wins 04 to 07 as wins. When the condition device of the small win B is activated, the symbol combination of the small win 07 is stopped on the activated line. The symbol combination of the small role 07 is “red 7 / replay B / watermelon B” − “bell” − “replay A”, but when this symbol combination stops at the active line, the bell alignment stops at the horizontal middle line. I do.

  The small winning combination C (strong cherry) with the winning number “15” is a condition device that causes the small winning combinations 12 to 14 to be repeatedly won. When the condition device of the small win C is activated, the small win 14 is controlled to win. The symbol combination of the small role 14 is “blank / bell” − “bell” − “cherry”, and when the left reel 31 is stopped, if the “bell” of the twelfth is stopped at the upper left, the tenth is displayed at the lower left. "Cherry" stops. When the first, sixth or eleventh "bell" is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "cherry" stops at the middle and lower tier. Furthermore, when the right reel 31 is stopped, “Cherry” is stopped at the lower stage. Therefore, when the player pushes the "cherry" in the lower row when each reel 31 stops, the cherry is aligned with the lower row (a straight line) (triple cherry) and stops.

  Unlike the small win C, the small win D (weak cherry) with the winning number “16” is a condition device in which the cherry alignment does not stop. When the condition device of the small combination D is activated, the small combination 13 which is one of the winning combinations is controlled to win. The symbol combination of the small role 13 is “bell” − “watermelon B / cherry” − “cherry”, but when the middle reel 31 is stopped, unlike the small role C described above, “cherry” is stopped in the middle lower row. No, cherry alignment does not stop on a straight line.

The small win E (watermelon A) with the winning number “17” is a condition device that enables the watermelon arrangement to be stopped on the horizontal line, and the winning combinations include the small wins 15 and 16. When the condition device of the small win E is activated, the small win 15 is stopped on the activated line. The symbol combination of the small role 15 is “blue 7” − “watermelon A” − “red 7 / blue 7 / blank”. Then, "watermelon B" stops. When “red 7 / blue 7 / blank” is stopped at the lower right stage when the right reel 31 is stopped, “watermelon A” is stopped at the middle right stage. Therefore, in this case, the watermelons are aligned on the middle horizontal line.
The small winning combination F (watermelon B) with the winning number “18” is a condition device that can stop the watermelon arrangement on the active line (downward right line). In this case, the small win 16 or the small win 17 is stopped at the activated line.

The winning number “19” is drawn during the SB game. The small role G (Yasume ALL), which is a condition device when the winning number “19” is won, is a condition device in which the small portion 08 to the small portion 11 are repeatedly won. When the condition device is activated, control is performed so as to win the small part 08 which is a payout of three sheets. The stop control at this time is the same as the stop control at the time of incorrect answer of the pressing order at the time of winning the small part A described above.
The winning number “20” is drawn during the SB game, the RBA game, and the RBB game. The small win H (small win ALL), which is a condition device when the winning number “20” is won, is a condition device in which all small wins, that is, the small wins 01 to 17 are repeatedly won. When the condition device is activated, control is performed so as to win the small combination 01 (the bell is aligned with the lower line). This stop control is the same as when the push order is correct when the small combination A1 or A2 is won. When the condition device of the small win H is activated, the winning small wins can be made different depending on the pressing order. For example, at the first left stop, the small role 01 is won, at the middle first stop, the small role 02 is won, and at the right first stop, the small role 03 is won. In any case, any of the small roles 01 to 03 may be awarded.

  The winning number “21” is drawn during the RBA game and the RBB game. The small combination I (oblique bell), which is a condition device when the winning number “21” is won, is a condition device in which the small combination 02 is independently won. This role has a role as a weak rare role during the BB game. In the present embodiment, as the rare combination during the BB game (the combination with a low winning probability), there are a weak rare with a winning number “21” and a strong rare with a winning number “22” described later. Then, at the time of winning of these winning numbers, a lottery for the advantageous section (AT) is executed. Further, at the time of winning the strong rare, the lottery for the advantageous section (AT) is preferentially performed as compared with the time of winning the weak rare. In other words, when a strong rare is won, the probability of deciding to shift to the advantageous section is higher than that of the weak rare, the probability of deciding to shift to the AT is higher than that of the weak rare, an additional number of games in the advantageous section or AT For example, the probability of determining the number is higher than the weak rare, and the expected value of the added number of games in the advantageous section or AT is larger than the weak rare. In the present embodiment, in the CZ rank addition lottery described later, a strong rare win is preferentially performed by lottery than a weak rare win.

When the winning number “21” is won and the condition device of the small win I is activated, the same stop control as in the case of the correct answer in the pressing order of the small win A2 or A3 described above is executed, and the active line, that is, the right descending line is displayed. Bell alignment stops.
The winning number “22” is drawn during the RBA game and the RBB game, like the winning number “21”. Small win J (V-bell), which is a condition device when the winning number “22” is won, is a condition device in which the small win 06 and the small win 18 are repeatedly won. This role has a role as a strong rare role during the 1BB game.
When the condition device of the small combination J is activated, the small combination 06 is controlled to win. As a result, the bell alignment stops at "upper left"-"middle middle"-"upper right" (V line).

The winning numbers “23” to “38” are winning numbers including a special role.
The winning number “23” is a winning number that is a single SB winning. Since the symbol combination of SB is “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where no prize is won in the game. In addition, the winning of the SB will not be carried over after the next game.
In addition, 1BBA does not win alone, and wins with one of the small wins (winning numbers “24” to “27”).
Furthermore, 1BBB has a case of winning alone (winning number “28”) and a case of winning multiple times (winning numbers “29” to “31”).

Similarly, 1BBC has a case in which a single prize is won (winning number “32”) and a case in which a double prize is won (winning numbers “33” to “35”).
When 1BBA to 1BBC and any of the small winning combinations are won, in the game, the winning of the winning small winning combination is prioritized, and the winning 1BBA to 1BBC is carried over after the next game. .
In addition, at the time of 1BBB or 1BBC single winning, the player can stop at the activated line by pushing the symbols of these special roles in the game, but if no winning is made, the winning is carried over after the next game.
The winning numbers "36" to "38" are the winning numbers for the single winning of 2BBA to 2BBC, respectively. As described above, since the symbol combination of 2BB in the present embodiment is “PB = 1”, there is no case where the game which has won 2BB always wins and the winning of 2BB is carried over after the next game.

  11 to 18 show the winning probabilities determined by the lottery table when the lottery of the winning number is performed by the role lottery means 61, and show the numbers of the winning numbers for each RT (game state) and each set value. It is a figure (number table). When the numerical values shown in FIGS. 11 to 18 are divided by “65536”, the winning probability is obtained. For example, in FIG. 11, the setting number of the winning number “1” is “8978” common to all the settings, and the winning probability is “8978/65536”.

11 to 18 show the names of the lottery tables. For example, the lottery table used for non-RT in FIG. 11 includes a lottery table “TBL_LOT_RT0” for replay lottery, a lottery table “TBL_LOT_WIN1” for small role lottery, and a lottery table “TBL_LOT_BNS” for special role lottery.
As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, during the RBA game and the RBB game, the lottery table for the special role lottery is not used (the special role is not drawn).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a numeric table in non-RT. In the non-RT replay, the push order replay (replay E group) and the rare replay (replays C and D) are not drawn, but only the normal replays of the winning numbers “1” and “2” are drawn. However, the replay winning probability (sum value) is set to a high probability, similarly to RT2 described later. The reason for this setting is that, as described later, after the 1BBA game is over, the game does not shift to the advantageous section, but shifts to the non-RT, and in the non-RT, the medal does not decrease so much that the next special role does not occur. In order to be able to wait for the election.

Winning numbers “8” to “17” are drawn by lot. Furthermore, as for the special combination, all the winning numbers “23” to “38” are drawn.
Among the special roles, 1BBA is set so that the winning probability is not the same for all set values (so that the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability). In contrast, SB, 1BBB, 1BBC, and 2BBA to 2BBC have the same winning probability at all set values.

  When a lottery or a decision on an advantageous section in a normal section is performed in association with a winning number, it can be executed when a winning number having the same winning probability with all set values is won. For this reason, in this embodiment, at the time of winning including 1BBB, 1BBC, and 2BB, the process shifts to the advantageous section. In addition, for example, at the time of the double winning such as “1BBB + Small Winner C” such as the winning number “29”, it is determined that the winning probability in the total of the plurality of winning roles is the same in all the set values, and the advantageous section ( AT), which is a condition for enabling lottery, determination, and the like to be executed. Therefore, if the 1BBB single winning probability has a setting difference, it is not possible to perform a lottery or a determination on the advantageous section (AT) at the time of 1BBB single winning, but “1BBB + small win C” (1BBB duplication 1) is performed. When there is no setting difference, when the 1BBB overlapping winning 1 is achieved, it is possible to perform a lottery, a determination, and the like regarding the advantageous section (AT).

In particular, in the present embodiment, as described later, at the time of 1BBB or 1BBC winning in the normal section, it is set so as to win (4 at the AT) with the probability of "4/256" in the CZ rank lottery. (FIG. 23 (b) described later). Also, at the time of 2BB winning in the normal section, the CZ rank lottery is executed in the same manner as described above, but in this CZ rank lottery, "0" is always won, that is, it is set so that the AT is not won. (FIG. 23 (b) described later). At the time of winning the SB, the lottery for the advantageous section is not executed.
Furthermore, during 1BBB or 1BBC operation, or during 2BB operation, a CZ rank addition lottery (FIG. 31 described later; AT win at “1” or more) is executed according to the operated condition device.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a numeric table in RT1. In RT1, only the replay A of the winning number “1” is drawn by lot. The small role and the special role are the same as the non-RT.
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a numeric table in RT2. The above-mentioned non-RT and RT1 are RTs that are planning to stay in the non-AT, while RT2 are RTs that plan to stay in the AT. The AT of the present embodiment sets the replay winning probability to be high in RT2 in order to make the ART (the replay winning probability is high).
Specifically, at RT2, in addition to the winning numbers “1” and “2” (Replay A and Replay B), the lottery of the winning numbers “5” to “7” (Replays E1 to E3) is executed. The numbers of the winning numbers “5” to “7” increase the replay winning probability at RT2.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a numeric table in RT3. RT3 is RT when the inside of 1BB is set. In FIG. 14, “TBL_LOT_BNS” for drawing a special role is used in the same manner as other RTs. For example, when a special role is won alone in RT3 (when a random number equivalent to the special role alone is acquired) ) Is rewritten as non-winning ("* 1" in the figure). In addition, when a random number corresponding to the double winning of the special role and the small role is acquired, the random number is rewritten to the single role of the small role that is repeatedly won with the special role (“* 2” in the figure). Furthermore, at RT3, a replay C with a winning number “3” and a replay D with a winning number “4” are drawn.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a numeric table during an RBA game (during a 1BBA game). During the RBA game, the lottery table including the replay and the winning of the special role is not used, and only “TBL_LOT_1BB1”, which is the lottery table for performing the small win H to the small win J, is used as shown in FIG. Also, with any of the set values, the winning probability in the sum of the small win H to the small win J is set to “65536/65536”.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a number table during an RBB game (during a 1BBB or 1BBC game). During the RBB game, the lottery table including the replay and the winning of the special role is not used, and only “TBL_LOT_1BB2”, which is the lottery table for performing the small lot H to the small lot J, is used as shown in FIG. Also, with any of the set values, the winning probability in the sum of the small win H to the small win J is set to “65536/65536”. During the RBB game, the winning probability of the small combination I (BB middle weak rare) and the small combination J (BB middle strong rare) is set higher than during the RBA game.
Further, at the time of winning a small win during 1BBB or 1BBC operation, a lottery relating to the AT (CZ rank addition lottery described later (FIG. 31 (b))) is executed. I do not have.

FIG. 17 is a view showing a number table during the SB game. During the SB game, a lottery including a special combination is performed with the same winning probability as a non-RT or the like. In the replay, replay A and replay B are selected by lot. However, the replay B is drawn only in the SB game when the SB is won in the non-RT. Furthermore, as for the small combination, small combination G and small combination H are drawn.
FIG. 18 is a view showing a number table during the 2BB game. During the 2BB game, the winning lottery flag of the winning ALL is set separately from the result of the lottery by the lottery means 61. The winning prize ALL is equivalent to the condition device (small win ALL) of the winning number “20”, and the winning flags of the small win 01 to the small win 17 are set.

However, as shown in FIG. 18, a lottery of a replay, a small combination, and a special combination (SB) is executed. When the player wins the replay C or D, the winning flag in the game is “Replay C or D + winning ALL”, but the winning of the replay C or D is given priority and the small win does not win.
Further, the replay D has no difference in the setting of the winning probability. At the time of the replay D winning during the 2BB operation, a lottery regarding the AT (CZ rank addition lottery described later (FIG. 31B)) is executed.
When a small role is won, the winning flag is rewritten to winning ALL ("*" in the figure).
Further, when the player wins the SB, the result is “winning ALL + SB”, but the winning of the small role is given priority.

In a game in which a winning prize is achieved in the 2BB game (a game in which no replay or SB is won), a predetermined small winning combination is set according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42, as described later. ing.
The 2BB game ends with more than one payout. Therefore, when the winning ALL is achieved, one of the small winning combinations wins, and the 2BB game ends in the game (1 game).
On the other hand, when the replay C or D wins, there is no payout in the game, and the next game of the 2BB game is continued. That is, for example, as long as the player continues to win the replay C or D, the 2BB game does not end.

The description returns to FIG.
The winning flag control means 62 controls on / off of a winning flag corresponding to each winning based on the lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, a winning flag is provided for every combination. Then, when any of the winning combinations is won in the lottery by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag of the winning combination is turned on (the winning flag is set).

For example, when the winning number is “1” in the non-internal middle game, three winning flags of replays 01, 02, and 03 included in the condition device (replay A) corresponding to the winning number “1” are turned on. And the winning flags of other roles are turned off.
Similarly, in the non-internal middle game, when the winning number is “8”, the small wins 01, 08, 09, and 10 included in the condition device (small win A1) corresponding to the winning number “8” One winning flag is turned on, and the winning flags of the other roles are turned off.

Further, as described above, the winning of a role other than 1BB is not carried over, and therefore, even if a role that does not carry over the winning in the current game is won and the winning flag of these roles is turned on, at the end of the current game, The winning flag is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of 1BB is carried over, if 1BB is won in the game this time, and once the winning flag related to the won 1BB is turned on, the on state is maintained until the 1BB wins. It is turned off when 1BB wins.

  Also, for example, when the winning number “24” is won by the role lottery means 61, the winning flag corresponding to 1BBA and small role B (small role 04 to 07) is turned on, and as described above, in the game, Control is performed so as to win the role 07. Then, at the end of the game, the winning flags of the small roles 04 to 07 are turned off, and the winning flags of 1BBA are kept on.

Furthermore, for example, when the winning lottery means 61 alone wins the 1BBB of the winning number “28”, the 1BBB winning flag is turned on in this game, and if 1BBB is not won in this game, the 1BBB winning flag is turned on. Is maintained.
Further, when the next game (inside the inside) wins the winning number “8” (small role A1), in addition to the 1BBB that has been won, the condition device (small role A1) with the winning number “8” is supported. The winning flags of the small wins 01, 08, 09, and 10 are turned on. Then, at the end of the current game, the winning flags of the small wins 01, 08, 09, and 10 are turned off, and the winning flag of 1BBB is maintained on (the small win 01 or 08 wins in the game).

The pressing order instruction number selecting means 63 selects (determines) a pressing order instruction number (a number corresponding to a correct answer pressing order) based on the lottery result of the winning number by the role lottery means 61.
The “push order” of the push order instruction number selected here means an advantageous push order for the player. For example, at the time of winning of the small role group A, it indicates the pressing order in which the higher-level bell is won. In addition, at the time of replay overlapping winning, it indicates a pushing order for promoting to a favorable RT or a pushing order for not falling down to a disadvantageous RT.

  In any of the advantageous section and the normal section, the pushing order instruction number selecting means 63 may select the pushing order instruction number, but is not limited thereto. For example, during the advantageous section (AT). The selection of the pressing order instruction number may be performed only when the setting is made. Alternatively, after the high-level bell is won once in the advantageous section, the pressing order instruction number may be selected only during the ART.

The transmission of the selected pressing order instruction number to the sub-control board 80 can be performed only during the advantageous section. Therefore, even if the push order instruction number is selected by the push order instruction number selecting means 63 in the normal section (note that the push order instruction number does not have to be selected or selected in the normal section), the push order instruction number is set to the sub-control board. It is not sent to 80.
In this embodiment, each winning number is provided with a unique pressing order instruction number.

In the present embodiment, the push order instruction number is used only at the time of winning the small role group A and the replay E group during the AT (main gaming state 2 or 16) and at the time of the replay E group winning during the precursor (main gaming state 1). The selecting means 63 selects a pressing order instruction number.
When the push order instruction number is selected by the push order instruction number selecting means 63, the notification of the push order by the main control board 63, that is, the instruction function is activated. As a result, the pressing order indicating information corresponding to the pressing order indicating number is displayed on the acquired number display LED 78. Since the push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub control board 80, the sub control board 80 notifies the push order based on the received push order instruction number.

As the push order instruction number, for example,
Correct answer push order 123: Push order instruction number "A1 (H)"
Correct answer push order 132: Push order instruction number "A2 (H)"
Correct answer pressing order 213: Pushing order instruction number "A3 (H)"
Correct answer push order 231: Push order instruction number "A4 (H)"
Correct answer push order 312: Push order instruction number "A5 (H)"
Correct answer push order 321: Push order instruction number "A6 (H)"
It has been established. Therefore, for example, when the small part A1 is won during the AT, the push order instruction number “A1 (H)” is transmitted to the sub control board 80. When receiving the pressing order instruction number “A1 (H)”, the sub-control board 80 notifies the correct pressing order such as “left center right”.

In addition, the main control board 50 determines in advance the relationship between the pressing order instruction number and the pressing order instruction information. For example,
Push order instruction number “A1 (H)”: Push order instruction information “= 1”
Push order instruction number “A2 (H)”: Push order instruction information “= 2”
Push order instruction number “A3 (H)”: Push order instruction information “= 3”
Push order instruction number “A4 (H)”: Push order instruction information “= 4”
Push order instruction number “A5 (H)”: Push order instruction information “= 5”
Push order instruction number “A6 (H)”: Push order instruction information “= 6”
Is determined.
In this case, when the pushing order instruction number selecting means 63 selects the pushing order instruction number “A1 (H)”, “= 1” is displayed on the acquired number display LED 78 by the operation of the instruction function.

The effect group number selecting means 64 selects an effect group number corresponding to the winning number, which is to be transmitted to the sub-control board 80.
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the effect group number corresponding to the winning number is determined. For example, the effect group number when one of the winning numbers “5” to “7” (replay E group) is won is “5”. Then, the effect group number selecting means 64 selects an effect group number corresponding to the winning number of the game, and the main control board 60 transmits the selected effect group number to the sub control board 80. The sub-control board 80 outputs an effect related to the winning combination based on the received effect group number.

  Here, it is conceivable that the winning number itself determined by the role lottery means 61 is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. However, in the present embodiment, the winning number itself is not transmitted to the sub control board 80. As a result, the sub control board 80 cannot completely know the winning combination of the current game.

  The reel control unit 65 controls to start the rotation of all (three) reels 31 when receiving the rotation start command of the reel 31, particularly, when detecting the operation of the start switch 41 in the present embodiment. . Further, after the winning number is determined by the winning lottery means 61, the reel control means 65 refers to the on / off of the winning flag in the current game, and determines the stop position determination table corresponding to the on / off of the winning flag. And when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, and the motor 32 is operated. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag is on, the reel control unit 65 enables a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination (combination for which the winning flag is on) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is controlled so as to be stoppable on the line, and the reel 31 is controlled so as not to stop the symbol combination corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (combination with the winning flag turned off) on the activated line.

Here, "within the range of the stop control of the reel 31" means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the time when the reel 31 is actually stopped or the rotation amount of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols (frames)). Within the range.
In this embodiment, the reel 31 is rotated at a speed of about 80 rotations per minute at a constant speed.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the time when the reel 31 is stopped is set to 190 ms or less, except for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation. Thus, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of symbols moved from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the stop of the reel 31 is set to four symbols, except for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation.
On the other hand, for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the time when the reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. Thus, in the present embodiment, for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the stop of the reel 31 is set to one symbol.

For example, in FIG. 2, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first “Replay A” of the left reel 31 is located at the lower left, four symbols ahead of the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation, That is, the symbols up to the fifth "red 7" can be stopped at the lower left. Therefore, at the above-mentioned operation timing, the symbols of No. 1 (bitter stop) to No. 5 (four symbol slip) become symbols that can be stopped at the lower left.
In the following description, "bitter (stop)" means that the symbol is stopped at the activated line when the stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the symbol passes the activated line (at the moment of passing). Point to.
On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first "bell" of the middle reel 31 is located at the middle middle position, the second symbol of the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, that is, the second symbol The pattern up to “Replay A” can be stopped in the middle and middle tier. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the symbols of No. 1 (bitter stop) to No. 2 (1 symbol slippery) are symbols that can be stopped at the middle and middle stage.

However, not limited to the above, except for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum number of moving symbols can be set to four from the symbol next to the symbol located on the activated line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Is also possible. In this case, for example, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first “Replay A” on the left reel 31 is located at the lower left, the next symbol, that is, from the second “bell” The symbol up to the sixth symbol "Replay A", which is the symbol four symbols ahead, can be stopped at the lower left. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the symbols Nos. 2 to 6 are symbols that can be stopped at the lower left stage.
Similarly, for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum number of moving symbols can be set to one symbol from the symbol next to the symbol located on the activated line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. . In this case, for example, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first “bell” of the middle reel 31 is located at the middle middle stage, the next symbol, that is, the second “Replay A” is used. The symbol up to the third symbol "watermelon A", which is the symbol preceding the first symbol, is a symbol that can be stopped at the middle and middle stage. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the second to third symbols are symbols that can be stopped at the middle and middle stage.

  In the following description, except for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum number of symbols moved from the symbols located on the activated line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is assumed to be four symbols. In addition, as for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum number of symbols moved from the symbols located on the activated line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated will be described as one symbol.

  First, at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, if any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 is a symbol to be stopped at a predetermined effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. Then, the symbol is controlled so as to stop at a predetermined effective line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol related to the winning combination does not stop on a predetermined effective line, the stop control of the reel 31 is performed until the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled to be stopped on a predetermined effective line as much as possible (pull-in stop control).

Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the activated line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotation and movement of the reel 31 within the range of the stop control described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to be stopped on the active line (kick-off stop control).
Furthermore, in the game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won, the priority order of the winning combination is determined in advance according to the winning combination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the operation timing of the stop switch 42. Thus, the drawing stop control of the symbol with the highest priority is performed.

Further, the reel control unit 65 detects the order of pressing the stop switch 42 (the order of operation). When the player operates the stop switch 42, the reel control unit 65 detects which of the left, middle, and right stop switches 42 has been operated.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the reel control means 65. By determining this signal, the reel control unit 65 detects which stop switch 42 has been operated. Then, stop control of the reel 31 corresponding to the operated stop switch 42 is executed.

Further, the reel control means 65 includes a stop position determination table for each winning number (for each condition device). The stop position determination table defines the stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. When the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“Replay A” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the lower left stage, each stop position determination table indicates the number of symbols to be moved. Then, the stop position is determined in advance such that the number of the symbol is stopped at the lower left stage (how many symbols slide).
As described above, the symbols to stop on the active line are determined in advance by the stop position determination table according to the winning number (condition device), the pressing order, and the operation timing of the stop switch 42.

Here, as the stop control of the reel 31 when the winning number of winning is an overlapping winning of a plurality of small wins, the following method is exemplified.
As a first priority, when all the symbols (of the relevant reel 31) constituting the winning symbol combination can be stopped on the activated line, the reel 31 is stopped at that position.

Next, when it is not possible to “stop all the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination in the activated line” (when the first priority cannot be adopted), the “number priority” is set as the second priority. Alternatively, the reel 31 is controlled to stop by one of “number priority”.
Here, the "number priority" means that the symbol of the reel 31 constituting the symbol combination having the largest payout number among the symbol combinations which have been won repeatedly is preferentially stopped (pulled) into the activated line. . For this reason, at the time of winning the small combination A group, the small combination 01 corresponds to the symbol combination having the largest payout number (11 pieces).
On the other hand, “number priority” means that the symbols on the reel 31 are stopped at the active line so that the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped at the active line is the largest.

  For example, when the small winning combination A1 is won and the first stop is the middle, it is impossible to stop all the middle reels 31 related to the winning combination on the active line at the same time. This is because there are a plurality of types of the winning small reels in the middle reel 31, but only one activated line, so that only one type of symbol can be stopped on the activated line.

  Therefore, at the time of winning the small part A group, the reel 31 is controlled to stop by either the number priority or the number priority. In the present embodiment, when the small role A group is won, the reels are stopped and controlled with the priority on the number of sheets when the answer in the pressing order is correct, and the reels 31 are stopped and controlled with the priority on the numbers when the answer in the pressing order is incorrect. When the reels are stopped and controlled with the number priority, the small win 01 (11 wins) does not win and the three wins can be won.

In the above example, for example, when the small win A1 is won, the small wins 01, 08, 09, and 10 are repeatedly won, so the symbol combinations that can be won are:
Small role 01: "Blue 7"-"Replay A"-"Bell"
Small role 01: "watermelon A"-"replay A"-"bell"
Small role 08: "Blue 7"-"Bell"-"Replay B"
Small part 08: "Blue 7"-"Bell"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 08: "watermelon A"-"bell"-"replay B"
Small role 08: "watermelon A"-"bell"-"watermelon A"
Small role 09: "blue 7"-"bell"-"blank"
Small role 09: "watermelon A"-"bell"-"blank"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Red 7"-"Replay B"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Red 7"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Blue 7"-"Replay B"
Small part 10: "Blue 7"-"Blue 7"-"Watermelon A"
Small part 10: "Watermelon A"-"Red 7"-"Replay B"
Small part 10: "Watermelon A"-"Red 7"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 10: "Watermelon A"-"Blue 7"-"Replay B"
Small part 10: "Watermelon A"-"Blue 7"-"Watermelon A"
It is.

Here, the number of symbols on the middle reel 31 is
Replay A: 2 Bells: 6 Red 7: 4 Blue 7: 4
Therefore, at the time of winning the small role A1, when giving priority to the number at the time of the first stop in the middle (when the push order is incorrectly answered), if "Bell" is stopped at the activated line, the symbol combination can be stopped at the activated line. The number is six, which is the maximum. Therefore, when the number priority is executed at the time of the first middle stop, the “bell” is stopped at the activated line when the middle reel 31 is stopped.
Next, when the left reel 31 is stopped as the second stop, if "blue 7" or "watermelon A" is stopped, the number of design combinations that can be stopped becomes the maximum number. Therefore, when the left reel stops, "blue 7" or "watermelon A" is stopped. In the left reel 31, “blue 7” and “watermelon A” add up to “PB = 1”. Furthermore, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the “replay B” or the “watermelon A” is stopped. Note that “Replay B” and “Watermelon A” on the right reel 31 are “PB = 1” in total. As a result, at the time of the first stop during the win of the small win A1, the small win 08 wins.

  Also, when the small role A1 is won, when the number priority is given at the first right stop (when the pushing order is incorrectly answered), if "Replay B" or "Watermelon A" is stopped at the activated line, the line is activated. The number of symbol combinations that can be stopped is six, which is the maximum. Therefore, in this case, when the right reel 31 stops, “Replay B” or “Watermelon A” is stopped on the activated line.

  Next, when the left reel 31 is stopped as the second stop, if "blue 7" or "watermelon A" is stopped, the number of design combinations that can be stopped becomes the maximum number. Therefore, when the left reel stops, "blue 7" or "watermelon A" is stopped. Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped. As a result, at the time of the first right stop at the time of winning the small part A1, the small part 08 wins.

  On the other hand, when the small win A1 wins, when the left first stop is performed, the pressing order is correct at this time, and therefore, the left reel 31 has the symbol “Blue 7” or the symbol related to the small win 01 due to the number priority. Stop "watermelon A". When the stop is the middle second stop, the correct answer in the pressing order is determined at this time, so that the number priority is executed even after the second stop, and the small win 01 wins.

On the other hand, if the left first stop is followed by the right second stop, the pressing order incorrect answer is determined at this point, and the number is given priority. Therefore, if the “replay B” or the “watermelon A” is stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped becomes the maximum number. Therefore, when the right reel is stopped, “Replay B” or “watermelon A” is stopped. Further, the "bell" is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped. As a result, the small role 08 wins in the middle of the pressing order when the small role A1 is won.
In the same manner as described above, the reel 31 is controlled to stop in the small combination A2 to the small combination A6 in the priority order of the number of sheets when the answer is correct, and in the case of the incorrect answer of the order.

  On the other hand, the winning numbers "14" (small win B (common bell)) to "16" (small win D (weak cherry)) are all duplicate wins of three small wins, and the small payout number is the same. There is no number priority or number priority because the role is won repeatedly. As described above, when the winning number “14” (small win B) is won, the symbol combination of the small win 07 is stopped on the activated line. When the winning number “15” (small win C) is won, the small win 14 is controlled to win. Furthermore, when the winning number “16” (small win D) is won, the small win 13 is controlled to win.

  The winning number “17” (small win E (watermelon A)) and the winning number “18” (small win F (watermelon B)) are both double wins of the small wins, and the small payout number is the same. There is no number priority or number priority because the role is won repeatedly. As described above, when the winning number “17” (small win E) is won, the small win 15 is stopped on the activated line. When the winning number “18” (small win F) is won, the small win 16 or the small win 17 is stopped on the activated line.

The winning number “19” is a winning combination of three small wins, and the winning combination is a double winning of the same small winning combination. In the present embodiment, as described above, control is performed so as to win the small role 08.
The winning number “20” is a winning combination of all the small wins, that is, the small wins 01 to 17. In the present embodiment, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled by giving priority to the number regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. In the present embodiment, control is performed so that the small role 01 is won. Note that, as described above, any of the small wins 01 to 03 can be awarded according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
The winning number “22” is an overlapping winning of 11 small wins, and the winning combination is a win of the same small winning. Therefore, there is no number priority or number priority. In the present embodiment, as described above, the control is performed so that the small role 06 is won.

Next, stop control of the reel 31 during the 2BB operation will be described.
During the 2BB operation, the maximum number of symbols to be shifted is four for the left and right reels 31, and the maximum number of symbols to be moved is one for the middle reel 31.
During the 2BB operation, the lottery of the winning number shown in FIG. 18 is executed, but when the replay C is won, the reel stop control at the time of operating the condition device of the replay C is executed. Similarly, when the replay D is activated, the reel stop control when the condition device of the replay D is activated is executed.
In addition, when the role is not won, when any of the small roles is won, or when the SB is won, the winning flag of the winning ALL is set, and a predetermined small role (the Takame small role or the Yasume small role) is determined according to the pressing order. Is controlled to win.

FIG. 51 (a) is a diagram (partial excerpt) of a winning combination that can be awarded in the winning ALL state during the 2BB operation, and FIG. 51 (b) is a diagram showing the winning ALL during the 2BB operation. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the order in which the stop switch 42 is pressed and the winning ratio of the small role (winning ratio, winning ratio) in the above situation. In FIG. 51A, the specified number and the game state during the 2BB operation correspond to “two cards (4)”. Therefore, the payout number at the time of winning the small wins 01 to 04 is thirteen, and the payout number at the time of winning the small wins 05 to 06 is twelve. Therefore, the small role of paying out thirteen sheets becomes the small role of the high rank, and the small role of paying out 12 sheets becomes the small role of the low rank. In the present embodiment, in the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, small wins other than the small win shown in FIG. 51 (a), for example, the small win 08 to the small win 11 of FIGS. There is no case to win inside.
Further, in the present embodiment, under the situation of the winning prize ALL during the operation of 2BB, there is no case where the role is missed (the case where the role does not win). However, in a third embodiment to be described later, a winning combination may be missed in the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation.

Furthermore, in FIG. 51 (b), the displayed number indicates “street”.
Here, in the present embodiment, the number of symbols on the reel 31 is 20, and the number of the reels 31 is 3, so that all the stop patterns are 20,000 in the cube of “20”. For example, when the pressing order is “123”, it means that there are “7600” patterns in which the small combination 02 (combination number “047”) stops. In other words, the winning ratio of the small combination 02 (combination number “047”) in the pressing order “123” is “7600/8000”.

In FIG. 51B, in the reel stop order, “1” indicates left, “2” indicates middle, and “3” indicates right. Therefore, for example, “231” indicates the middle right, left, and left pressing order.
1.2 First stop at left under winning ALL situation during operation of BB Under the situation of winning ALL during operation of 2BB, at the first stop at left, "0""blank" pushes the upper left row (valid line) When it is done, the "blank" of number 0 is stopped at the effective line. When the left stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "bell" is stopped at the activated line.
Therefore, at the time of the first stop on the left, the ratio of symbols stopped on the payline is
Bell: 19/20
Blank: 1/20
It becomes.

  Here, the symbol of the left reel 31 of the combination number “047” to “051”, which is the high-order small combination, is “bell”. Similarly, the symbol on the left reel 31 of the combination number “052” to “054”, which is the high-order small combination, is “blank”. Therefore, if the "bell" or "blank" is stopped on the activated line when the left reel 31 is stopped, the symbol related to the high win is stopped on the activated line, and the number priority control is performed.

With respect to the right reel 31 after the first left stop, "bell" is stopped at the activated line (20/20).
In addition, for the middle reel 31 after the first left stop, when the “bell” is pressed on the activated line, the “bell” is stopped at the activated line (middle middle stage). When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, “watermelon A”, “watermelon B”, or “cherry” is stopped. When “watermelon A” and “watermelon B” compete with each other when the middle reel 31 stops, priority is given to stopping “watermelon B”. Specifically, when the number 14 “watermelon A” is pressed on the activated line, the number 15 “watermelon B” is stopped at the activated line.

From the above, after the first left stop, the stop symbols on the activated line when the middle reel 31 stops are as follows:
1st Vita: Bell (1st)
No.2 Vita: Watermelon A (No.3)
3rd Vita: Watermelon A (3rd)
4th Vita: Cherry (5th)
5th Vita: Cherry (5th)
6th Vita: Bell (6th)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
9th Vita: Cherry (10th)
10th Vita: Cherry (10th)
11th Vita: Bell (11th)
12th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
13th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
14th Vita: Watermelon B (15th)
15th Vita: Watermelon B (15th)
No. 16 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
17th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
18th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
19th Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
0th bita: cherry (0th)
It becomes.

Therefore, when the middle reel 31 stops, the ratio of the symbols stopped on the activated line is
Bell: 4/20
Watermelon A: 8/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
It becomes.

Therefore, the rate at which “Bell”-“ANY”-“Bell” (the small role 02 of the role number “047”) stops is
"19/20" (left) x "20/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 7600/8000
It becomes.
In addition, the rate at which “blank” − “watermelon A” − “bell” (the small role 04 with the role number “052”) stops is
"1/20" (left) x "8/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 160/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the rate at which "blank"-"watermelon B"-"bell" (the small role 04 of the role number "053") stops is:
"1/20" (left) x "2/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 40/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "blank"-"cherry"-"bell" (the small role 04 of the role number "054") stops is
"1/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 120/8000
It becomes.
In addition, the rate at which “blank” − “cherry” − “bell” (the small role 05 with the role number “055”) stops is
"1/20" (left) x "4/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 80/8000
It becomes.

Therefore, the winning rate of the small winning combination is “7920/8000”, and the winning rate of the small winning role is “80/8000”.
The above applies to both when the pressing order is 123 (middle left) and when 132 (middle left and right).

2.2 First Right Stop at the Time of Winning ALL During 2BB Operation Next, the reel stop control at the first right stop under the status of winning ALL during 2BB operation will be described.
When the 14th "watermelon A" is bitter-pushed to the lower right (the 13th "blank" is below the frame) when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "watermelon A" is stopped at the lower right. When the ninth “Replay B” is pressed to the lower right (the “white 7” of the eighth is below the frame), the “Replay B” is stopped at the lower right. When the right stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "bell" is stopped.

Therefore, the ratio of the symbols stopped at the activated line of the right reel 31 at the time of the first right stop is
Bell: 18/20
Watermelon A: 1/20
Replay B: 1/20
It becomes.
As for the left reel 31 after the first right stop, the "bell" is stopped at the activated line (20/20).
Further, regarding the middle reel 31 after the first right stop, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a position where “watermelon A” or “bell” can be stopped on the active line, “watermelon A” or “bell” respectively. Is stopped on the activated line, and if “watermelon A” or “bell” cannot be stopped on the activated line, “cherry” or “watermelon B” is stopped on the activated line.

From the above, after the right first stop, the stop symbols on the activated line when the middle reel 31 stops are as follows:
1st Vita: Bell (1st)
No.2 Vita: Watermelon A (No.3)
3rd Vita: Watermelon A (3rd)
4th Vita: Cherry (5th)
5th Vita: Cherry (5th)
6th Vita: Bell (6th)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
9th Vita: Cherry (10th)
10th Vita: Cherry (10th)
11th Vita: Bell (11th)
12th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
13th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
14th Vita: Watermelon B (15th)
15th Vita: Watermelon B (15th)
No. 16 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
17th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
18th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
19th Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
0th bita: cherry (0th)
It becomes.
That is, the percentage of symbols that stop at the active line is
Bell: 4/20
Watermelon A: 8/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
It becomes.

Therefore, the rate at which “Bell”-“ANY”-“Bell” (the small role 02 of the role number “047”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "20/20" (middle) x "18/20" (right)
= 7200/8000
It becomes.
In addition, the rate at which “Bell” − “Watermelon B” − “Replay B” (the small role 03 with the role number “048”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "2/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 40/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"watermelon B"-"watermelon A" (the small role 03 of the role number "049") is stopped is:
"20/20" (left) x "2/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 40/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Cherry"-"Replay B" (the small role 03 of the role number "050") stops is:
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 120/8000
It becomes.
In addition, the rate at which the “bell”-“cherry”-“watermelon A” (the small role 03 with the role number “051”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 120/8000
It becomes.
The above is equivalent to the winning rate of the Takamitsu small role.

Furthermore, the winning percentage of the small role of Yasume is as follows.
The rate at which "Bell"-"Bell"-"Replay B" (the small role 06 of the role number "056") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "4/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 80/8000
It becomes.
In addition, the rate at which “bell”-“bell”-“watermelon A” (the small part 06 with the part number “057”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "4/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 80/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the rate at which the "bell"-"watermelon A"-"replay B" (small role 06 with the role number "058") stops is:
"20/20" (left) x "8/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 160/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"watermelon A"-"watermelon A" (the small role 06 of the role number "059") stops is:
"20/20" (left) x "8/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 160/8000
It becomes.
As described above, the winning rate of the small winning combination is “7520/8000”, and the winning rate of the small winning role is “480/8000”.
The above is the same when the pressing order is 312 (middle right and left) and 321 (middle right and left).

3.2 At the time of "213" (middle and left and right) under the condition of winning ALL during the operation of 2BB Next, in the state of the winning ALL during the operation of 2BB, the reel stop control when the pressing order is "213" (middle and left and right) will be described. I do.
When the first "bell" is pressed in the middle middle row (the "white 7" of 19th is under the frame) as the active line at the first first stop, the first "bell" is stopped in the middle middle row. Let it. The "bell" is stopped on the active line at the time of the first stop in the middle only when this one bit is pressed.
When the middle stop switch 42 is operated so that “Replay A” can be stopped at the active line, “Replay A” is stopped at the active line. Next, when “Replay A” cannot be stopped at the activated line, one of “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” is stopped at the activated line.

Therefore, the stop position of the middle reel 31 at the time of the first middle stop is as follows.
1st Vita: Bell (1st)
2nd Vita: Replay A (23rd)
3rd Vita: Watermelon A (3rd)
4th Vita: Cherry (5th)
5th Vita: Cherry (5th)
6th Vita: Replay A (7th)
7th Vita: Replay A (8th)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
9th Vita: Cherry (10th)
10th Vita: Cherry (10th)
11th Vita: Replay A (12th)
12th Vita: Replay A (12th)
13th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
14th Vita: Watermelon B (15th)
15th Vita: Watermelon B (15th)
16th Vita: Replay A (17th)
17th Vita: Replay A (17th)
18th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
19th Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
0th bita: cherry (0th)
It becomes.
In other words, at the time of the first stop in the middle, the percentage of symbols that stop on the active line is
Bell: 1/20
Replay A: 7/20
Watermelon A: 4/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
It becomes.

Next, at the time of the second left stop, when the "bell" stops at the first first stop, the stop control of the left reel 31 is performed using the number priority.
When "Bell" is stopped at the first stop in the middle and "Bell" is stopped at the second left stop, "Bell"-"Bell"-"Rotating", but "Bell"-"Bell" -The three symbol combinations "ANY" are combination numbers "056", "057", and "088" (see FIG. 7).
On the other hand, when "Bell" is stopped at the first stop in the middle and "Blank" is stopped at the second left stop, the symbol combination of "Blank"-"Bell"-"ANY" is a symbol number. These are the four numbers “055”, “077”, “078”, and “087” (see FIG. 7). Therefore, when the "blank" is stopped on the activated line, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the activated line is the largest when the "blank" is stopped on the activated line. In some cases, the blank is stopped, and when the "blank" cannot be stopped, the "bell" is stopped.

In the present embodiment, when the "bell" is stopped at the time of the first first stop, when the "blank" of the number 0 on the left reel 31 is pressed on the activated line, the "blank" is stopped at the activated line, Otherwise stop the "bell".
Therefore, when the left reel 31 stops, the ratio of the symbols stopped on the activated line is
Bell: 19/20
Blank: 1/20
It becomes.

As described above, when "bell"-"bell"-"rotating" or "blank"-"bell"-"rotating", when the right reel 31 is stopped, "bell" is stopped. Let it.
Therefore,
The rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 02 of the role number "047") stops is
"19/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 380/8000
It becomes.
Also, the rate at which "blank"-"bell"-"bell" (the small role 05 of the role number "055") is stopped is:
"1/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 20/8000
It becomes.

Next, when the "replay A" is stopped at the time of the first stop in the middle, when the left reel 31 is stopped, "blue 7" or "watermelon A" is stopped at the activated line.
Therefore, when the left reel 31 stops, the ratio of the symbols stopped on the activated line is
Blue 7: 5/20
Watermelon A: 15/20
It becomes.
Further, when the right reel 31 stops, the "bell" is stopped on the activated line.

From the above,
The rate at which “blue 7”-“replay A”-“bell” (small role 01 with the role number “045”) stops is
"5/20" (left) x "7/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 700/8000
It becomes.
The rate at which “watermelon A”-“replay A”-“bell” (the small role 01 with the role number “046”) stops is
"15/20" (left) x "7/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2100/8000
It becomes.

In addition, when “watermelon A”, “watermelon B”, or “cherry” is stopped at the time of the first first stop, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is stopped on the activated line, and the right reel 31 is stopped. At times, the "bell" is stopped at the active line.
Therefore, the rate at which “bell” − “watermelon A / watermelon B / cherry” − “bell” (small role 02 of the role number “047”) is stopped
"20/20" (left) x "12/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 4800/8000
It becomes.
Further, as described above, the rate at which “bell” − “bell” − “bell” (the small role 02 of the role number “047”) stops is “380/8000”. The total value of the rate at which the small role 02 stops is
"4800/8000" + "380/8000"
= 5180/8000
It becomes.

4.2 When "231" (middle right and left) in the situation of winning prize ALL during the operation of 2BB Next, under the situation of winning ALL during the operation of 2BB, the reel stop control when the pushing order is "231" (middle right and left) explain.
The stop control at the time of the middle first stop is the same as that at the time of the pressing order “213” described above. In other words, the ratio of the symbols of the active line at the time of the first stop in the middle,
Bell: 1/20
Replay A: 7/20
Watermelon A: 4/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
It becomes.

When "Bell" stops on the active line at the time of the first stop in the middle, at the time of the second stop on the right, when "Replay B" of No. 9 is pressed down to the lower right, the "Replay B" of No. 9 is right Stop at the bottom. When the number 14 “watermelon A” is pressed to the lower right, the number 14 “watermelon A” is stopped at the lower right. When the right stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "bell" is stopped at the activated line.
That is, in this case, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the ratio of the symbols in the activated line is:
Replay B: 1/20
Watermelon A: 1/20
Bell: 18/20
It becomes.
Then, in the above case, at the time of the third left stop, the “bell” is stopped at the active line.
Therefore, the rate at which “Bell”-“Bell”-“Replay B” (the small role 06 with the role number “056”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 20/8000
It becomes.
Similarly, the rate at which “bell”-“bell”-“watermelon A” (small role 06 with the role number “057”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 20/8000
It becomes.

Also, the rate at which “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” (the small role 02 of the role number “047”) stops is
"20/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "18/20" (right)
= 360/8000
It becomes.

On the other hand, when "Replay A" is stopped at the time of the first stop in the middle, "Bell" is stopped at the active line at the time of the second right stop. Further, at the time of the third stop on the left, “blue 7” or “watermelon A” is stopped on the activated line. In this case, the ratio of the symbols on the activated line is “blue 7”, and the ratio of “watermelon A” stopping on the activated line is the same as above.
Blue 7: 5/20
Watermelon A: 15/20
It becomes.
Therefore, the rate at which “blue 7” − “replay A” − “bell” (the small role 01 of the role number “045”) stops is
"5/20" (left) x "7/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 700/8000
It becomes.
Similarly, the rate at which “watermelon A” − “replay A” − “bell” (the small role 01 with the role number “046”) stops is
"15/20" (left) x "7/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2100/8000
It becomes.

In addition, at the time of the first stop in the middle, the ratio of stopping other than “bell” or “replay A” (“watermelon A”, “watermelon B”, or “cherry”) is “12/20”.
In this case, the "bell" is stopped on the active line at the second right stop, and the "bell" is stopped at the active line also at the third stop on the left.
Therefore, the rate at which “bell” − “ANY (watermelon A / watermelon B / cherry)” − “bell” (the small role 02 of the role number “047”) is stopped
"20/20" (left) x "12/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 4800/8000
It becomes.
Further, as described above, the ratio at which “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” (the small role 02 of the role number “047”) stops is “360/8000”. The total value of the rate at which the small role 02 stops is
"4800/8000" + "360/8000"
= 5160/8000
It becomes.

As described above, at the time of winning ALL during the 2BB operation, the type of the small winning combination and the winning rate differ according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Assuming that there is no pushing, as shown in FIG. 51 (b), when the pushing order is “213” (middle left / right), the highest rate of winning the high-order small role (13 pieces) is the highest. Is “7980/8000”.
On the other hand, the lowest winning percentage of the Takamitsu small role is at the time of the first right stop, and the percentage is “7520/8000”.
Therefore, during the 2BB operation, it is most advantageous for the player to extinguish the game in the middle left and right pushing order (except for pushing).
In addition, during 2BB operation, even in the middle right and left pushing order, it is possible to win the high-order small role at the ratio of “7960/8000”.
Therefore, in general, when the middle reel 31 (reel whose maximum moving symbol number is controlled to be stopped by one symbol) is set as the first stop reel, the small reel wins more than the other reels 31 are set as the first stop reel. Easier to do.

In addition, during the operation of the 2BB, when the condition device of the replay C is operated, the replay 05 is controlled to win. As shown in FIG. 5, the symbol combination of the replay 05 is “bell” − “−” − “red 7 / white 7 / blue 7 / blank”, and both the left and right reels 31 have “PB = 1”. ". Further, the symbol of the middle reel 31 in which the stop control of 75 ms is executed is arbitrary. Therefore, the replay 05 can be always won when the condition device of the replay C is operated.
During the operation of the 2BB, the replay D is controlled so as to win the prize in the same manner as described above even when the condition device of the replay D is operated.

The description returns to FIG.
The winning determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the activated line when the reel 31 is stopped is a symbol combination corresponding to one of the winning combinations.
Here, the winning determination means 66 does not actually detect whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination has stopped at the activated line.
Specifically, based on the condition device operated in the game and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and / or the operation timing of the stop switch 42, a symbol combination that stops on the activated line before the reel 31 actually stops is determined in advance. It is determined, or the symbol combination stopped on the activated line after the reel 31 has stopped is determined in advance.

For example, at the time of the correct answer in the pressing order at the time of winning the small part A1, the small part 01 wins with "PB = 1". Therefore, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of the middle left and the right, the stop line 42 is actually stopped. It is determined that the small role 01 has won a prize without determining the symbol combination.
Also, in the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB game described above, if the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the operation timing of the stop switch 42 are detected, the symbol combination on the activated line that has actually stopped can be determined. , It is possible to judge which small role has won.

  The payout means 67 pays out a predetermined number of medals to the player according to the winning combination or performs processing such as addition of credits when the winning determination means 66 determines that the winning combination is achieved. Things. In addition, at the time of winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the current game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The RT control means 68 determines whether or not the RT transition condition is satisfied at the time of stopping each game and all the reels 31. If it is determined that the RT transition condition is satisfied, the RT control means 68 controls to perform the RT transition. Things.
As described above, the RT of this embodiment includes non-RT (RT0), RT1 to RT3, 1BBA to 1BBC operation (RBA operation, RBB operation), and 2BBA to 2BBC operation. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 18, the type and number of the winning numbers and the winning probabilities are different for each RT. Note that there is no RT corresponding to the SB operation, but when the SB operation symbol is displayed in the non-RT or RT2 (at the time of winning the SB), the process shifts to RT1.

In the present embodiment, the RT transition timing is set at the time of the symbol combination stop display or at the time of the winning of the RT transition combination, that is, at the time of all stops (when all the reels 31 are stopped).
However, the transition from non-RT, RT1, RT2 to RT3 may be performed based on the winning of 1BB, or may be performed based on the fact that 1BB has not won in the game that has won 1BB. Is also good. In the present embodiment, 1BB is won, and if the 1BB won does not win, the process shifts to RT3.
The non-internal middle game corresponds to non-RT, RT1, RT2. The inside middle game corresponds to RT3.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an RT transition diagram of the present embodiment.
When the RWM 53 is initialized, a game is started from a non-RT. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Even when the RWM 53 is initialized, the RT before the initial stage (before the power is turned off) may be maintained. For example, when the RWM 53 is initialized while the 1BB winning is carried over, the 1BB winning is also maintained (carried over) and may be started from RT3.
In the non-RT mode, when the SB operation symbol is displayed (at the time of the SB winning), the process shifts from the next game to RT1. The same applies when the SB operation symbol is displayed at RT2. In addition, in RT1, when the 333 game is completed, the process shifts to non-RT. Furthermore, when the replay 04 wins at RT2, the process shifts to RT1.

  Here, the AT of the present embodiment is executed in principle at RT2, but during the AT, when the winning numbers “5” to “7” (replay E group) are won, the pressing order for winning the replay 02 is notified. Therefore, the replay 04 does not win. If the AT is finished in RT2 and the pressing order for winning the replay 02 is not notified in the game having won the winning numbers "5" to "7", the replay 04 wins with a probability of "2/3". This causes a transition from RT2 to RT1 (RT falls). In addition, in the game which is won in the winning numbers “5” to “7” during the AT, even when the replay 04 wins due to an incorrect pushing order, the process shifts from RT2 to RT1. In this case, even if it is AT, the replay high probability is not obtained. In the present embodiment, when the vehicle falls to RT1, there is no case where it is possible to return to RT2 unless 1BB or 2BB is won.

  In the non-RT, RT1, and RT2 non-intermediate games, when 1BB is won and 1BB does not win, the RT control means 68 determines that the RT transition condition is satisfied, and changes to RT3 corresponding to the internal medium game. Transition.

In addition, when 1BB wins in the game that has won 1BB, the operation of 1BB is started at the time of all stoppages of the game this time, so that in this case, the game does not pass through RT3 (internal game).
On the other hand, in the non-RT or RT2, when the SB is won and the SB wins, the process shifts to RT1. Then, the SB game is executed at RT1. After the end of the SB game, it remains at RT1.
The symbol combination of SB is “PBＰ1” as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the SB does not win in the game that has won the SB, there is no RT shift.

When the player wins 1BB and moves to RT3, the RT3 is continued until the winning 1BB wins. When it is determined that 1BB has been won in RT3, the RT control means 68 determines that the RT transition condition is satisfied, and shifts to 1BBA operation (RBA operation) or 1BBB or 1BBC operation (RBB operation).
When the 1BBA operation is in progress, the operation is continued until the 1BBA operation end condition (1BBA game end condition) is satisfied. In this embodiment, the 1BBA operation end condition is set to pay out more than 264 medals as shown in FIG. 8 (2).
During the 1BBA operation, the RBA is operated continuously as described above. The RBA ends when either one of two winning combinations or two games is satisfied, and after the end, the RBA is activated again on condition that the termination condition of the 1BBA operation is not satisfied.

The RT control unit 68 determines whether or not more than 264 medals have been paid out during each game and 1BBA operation, and when it is determined that more than 264 medals have been paid out, the 1BBA operation end condition. Is determined to be satisfied, and control is performed so as to shift to non-RT from the next game. As shown in FIG. 11, the non-RT of this embodiment is an RT having a high replay winning probability, similarly to RT2. In the present embodiment, when 1BBA is won during the non-advantage section (normal section), the game does not shift to the advantage section (AT) even after the 1BBA game ends. Therefore, it does not shift to the advantageous section (AT), but shifts to RT having a high replay winning probability so that it is possible to wait for 1BB or 2BB winning without reducing medals.
Further, if the SB wins during the non-RT, the transition from the non-RT to RT1 occurs. For this reason, when the SB is won during the non-RT, for example, an “!” Mark is displayed on the image display device 23 to indicate that the SB has been won and that the winning of the SB should be avoided. Output the effect. This is the same during AT and RT2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (2), the termination condition of the 1BBB or 1BBC operation is set to payout of more than 242 medals.
During the 1BBB and 1BBC operations, the RBB is continuously operated as described above. Like the RBA, the RBB ends when either one of two winning combinations or two games is satisfied, and after the end, the RBB is again performed on condition that the end condition of the 1BBB or 1BBC operation is not satisfied, respectively. Activate
While the 1BBB or 1BBC operation is being performed, the RT control means 68 determines whether or not each game has paid out more than 242 medals. If it is determined that more than 242 medals have been paid out, It is determined that the operation end condition is satisfied, and control is performed so as to shift to RT2 from the next game.

  Furthermore, when the 2BB operation symbol is displayed in non-RT, RT1 or RT2 (at the time of winning 2BB), the operation shifts to 2BB (2BBA, 2BBB, 2BBC) operation. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (2), the end condition of the 2BB operation is set to payout of one or more medals or to the SB operation (meaning “SB win” here). I have. When the condition for terminating the operation of 2BB is satisfied, the process proceeds to RT2.

  In FIG. 1, the main game state control means 69 executes a process (start time process) corresponding to a main game state described later at the time of starting a game, and also performs a process (all processes) corresponding to a main game state described later at the end of the game. If the transition condition of the main game state is satisfied by executing the stop processing), the main game state is shifted. The main game state control means 69 also controls the start and end of the advantageous section and the start and end of the AT.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing transition of the main game state.
The main gaming states of the present embodiment include main gaming states 0, 1, and 2, main gaming states 12, 13, 14, and 15, and a main gaming state 16. In the actual gaming machine corresponding to the present embodiment, all of the main gaming states 0 to 16 are provided, but in the present embodiment, the main gaming states 3 to 11 are omitted for simplification of description. .
Further, as the advantageous section types, the advantageous section type 0 (non-advantageous section (normal section)), the advantageous section type 1 (standby section), the advantageous section type 2 (advantaged section), the advantageous section type 3 (advantageous section and inside 1BB) ).

The main gaming state 0 is any of the advantageous section types 0, 1, and 2.
The main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 are in a so-called normal section in which neither a special combination nor an advantageous section has been won.
The main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 (standby section) is a gaming state when the player wins 1BB or 2BB in the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 0, and is inside 1BB or 2BB.
In the present embodiment, the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 are the main game states corresponding to the 2BB game, in other words, the preparation for the precursor.

In the present embodiment, when 2BB is won in the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 (non-advantaged section), the state shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 (internal) at that time. In the present embodiment, when 2BB is won, 2BB is always set to win in the game. Therefore, at the time of the 2BB winning, the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 are shifted to the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (advantage section). That is, when the 2BB is won, the non-advantage section shifts to the standby section, and when the 2BB wins, the standby section shifts to the advantageous section.
Then, the 2BB game is executed in the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 state (preparation for precursor). In the 2BB game, the effect is shown as a normal game (non-special game). Therefore, if the player does not notice that the 2BB has won, the player does not recognize that the 2BB game is being played. After the end of the 2BB game, the game shifts to the main game state 1 and the advantageous section type 2 (precursor).

The main game states 1, 2, and 12 to 16 are all advantageous section types 2.
The main gaming state 1 (advantage section type 2) is a gaming state which is shifted from the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (preparing for signs), and is a gaming state corresponding to the signs. The precursor includes a precursor (in the case of transition to the AT later) and a fake (gaze) precursor (in the case of transition to the normal section without transition to the AT). When the end condition of the 2BB operation is satisfied in the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (during the 2BB operation), the state shifts to the main game state 1. Further, in the main game state 0, 1BBB or 1BBC is won, 1BBB or 1BBC is activated (transition to the main game state 13), and when the operation end condition of 1BBB or 1BBC is satisfied, the CZ rank described later is “ (Unless it is "4"), the main game state 1 is entered.

Here, as shown in FIG. 19, after the operation of 2BB is completed, and after the operation of 1BBB or 1BBC is completed, a transition is made to RT2 (replay high probability state). Then, when performing AT, it stays at this RT2. For this reason, when shifting to the main gaming state 1, until the end condition of the main gaming state 1 is satisfied, the correct push order for staying at RT2 is notified when the condition device of the replay E is operated. However, even if the condition device of the small role A operates, the correct answer pressing order is not notified. Then, when the end condition of the main gaming state 1 is satisfied, the game state transitions to the main gaming state 0 at the time of the gaze sign, and shifts to the main game state 2 at the time of the main sign. The main gaming state 2 is a main gaming state corresponding to AT.
When the main game state is shifted to 0, thereafter, when the condition device of the replay E and the small win A is activated, the correct answer pressing order is not notified. On the other hand, when the state shifts to the main gaming state 2, thereafter, in addition to the replay E, the correct push order is notified even when the condition device of the small win A is operated.

In the main gaming state 2, one set of ATs is repeated in principle for 40 games (when there is no additional game) until the end condition is satisfied. At the end of one set AT, whether or not to continue one set AT is determined by lottery again. Then, in the main gaming state 2, when the continuation condition of the AT is satisfied, the continuation counter described later is set to “2”, and when the number-of-talks counter is less than “22”, the main gaming state 2 is maintained and again. One set AT (initial value: 40 games) is continued.
Here, "1" is set as an initial value when the main game state 2 is entered, and "1" is incremented by one each time one set AT is repeated. When the talk number counter is less than “22”, the main game state 2 is maintained. When the talk number counter reaches “22”, the main game state 16 is entered.
On the other hand, when the end condition of the AT is satisfied, the continuation counter is set to “1”, and the state shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0.

  In this embodiment, during the AT, in principle, one set of 40 games is executed. However, during the 40 games, additional lottery is executed, and when the additional lottery is won, the set is executed for more than 40 games. . The number of additional games to be executed when the winning number is won will be described later with reference to a flowchart. In the present embodiment, the number of additional games is determined by lottery from “0”, “10”, “30”, and “50” according to the winning number.

The main game state 16 is a game state in which the AT (including the 1BB operation) is continued until the game reaches the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section, that is, 1500 games. In other words, once the main game state 16 is entered, the main game state 16 is maintained even during the 1BBA to 1BBC operation (the main game state 14 or 15 described below is not entered). Further, when shifting to the main game state 16, the additional lottery is not executed.
In the main game state 16, when the advantageous section clear counter reaches “0” (the number of games in the advantageous section is “1500”), it is determined that the AT and the advantageous section end condition are satisfied, and the main game state 16 is set. The process is ended, and the process shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0.

  On the other hand, when 1BBA is won in the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 (non-advantaged section), the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 remain, and the main gaming state is not shifted to the standby section. , The advantageous section type remains the same. Then, the 1BBA game is executed in the state of the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0, and the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 are maintained even after the 1BBA game ends.

  On the other hand, when 1BBB or 1BBC is won in the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 (non-advantaged section), the state shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 (standby section). Further, when the winning 1BBB or 1BBC is won, the game shifts to the main game state 13 and the advantageous section type 2. As described above, the winning section does not shift to the advantageous section depending on the winning and winning of 1BBA (1BB with setting difference), but when 1BBB or 1BBC is won, the advantageous section occurs when 1BBB or 1BBC (1BB without setting difference) wins. Move to

The main game state 13 is a main game state during 1BBB or 1BBC operation, that is, during 1BBB game or 1BBC game. Then, when the operation of 1BBB or 1BBC ends (when the end condition of the 1BBB game or 1BBC game is satisfied), the state shifts to the main game state 1 or 2.
In the main gaming state 13, a lottery of CZ rank addition is performed (FIG. 35 described later). When the CZ rank at the end of the main gaming state 13 is equal to or less than “3”, the state shifts to the main gaming state 1 (a sign), but when the CZ rank is “4”, the precursor of the main gaming state 1 is given. It shifts to the main game state 2 without passing.
As described above, in the CZ rank, “0” means AT non-winning, and “1” or more means AT winning. The higher the CZ rank (the highest value is “4”), the higher the AT continuation rate.

In the main game state 0, 1 or 2, and the advantageous section type 2, when 2BB is won and a prize is won, the 2BB game is executed while maintaining the main game state. The main game state is maintained even after the end of the 2BB game.
In addition, when 1BB is won in the main game state 0, 1 or 2, and the advantageous section type 2, the process shifts to the advantageous section type 3 (in the advantageous section and inside 1BB). The advantageous section type 3 is a state in which the lottery regarding the AT is not performed. Then, the winning 1BB is 1BBA (1BB with a setting difference), and when the 1BBA has won, the main game state 15 is entered. The main gaming state 15 is a main gaming state during 1BBA operation during the advantageous section. When the 1BBA operation is completed, the flow shifts to the main game state 12.

  Furthermore, when 1BBB or 1BBC (1BB without setting difference) is won in the main game state 0, 1 or 2, and the advantageous section type 2, the main game state 14 is entered. The main game state 14 is a main game state during 1BBB or 1BBC operation during the advantageous section. Then, when the 1BBB or 1BBC operation is completed, the flow shifts to the main game state 12.

The main gaming state 12 is a main gaming state in which 1BB is won during the advantageous section and the 1BB operation is completed. After the 1BBA (1BB with setting difference) operation ends and after the 1BBB or 1BBC (1BB without setting difference) operation ends, the same main game state 12 is entered.
The main game state 12 is one game in the present embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of games may be set. In the main game state 12, a specific process relating to the AT is executed. In the present embodiment, in the main game state 12, the main game state 2 or 16 is set. Specifically, the value of the number-of-story counter at the time of shifting to the main game state 12 is determined. , The main game state 2 is set. Thereby, in the next game of the main game state 12, the main game state 2 or 16 is set.

In addition, when the player wins 1BB in the main game state 2 and shifts to the main game state 14 or 15, and then shifts to the main game state 12, the talk number counter is set to “+1” and the state management counter is set to “40”. This is set (FIG. 47 described later).
Here, for example, when the number of talks counter is "5" and the number of remaining games is "20" in the AT of the set, the player wins 1BB and returns to the main game state 2 after the end of the 1BB operation. = Restart the one set AT40 game at "6". That is, when 1BB is won in the middle of 40 games of one set AT, the AT set with the number of talks is stopped at that time, and the number-of-story counter is set to "+1" by 1BB operation. Then, when returning to the main game state 2, the one set AT40 game is started again.
Also, if 1BB is won when the number-of-story counter is equal to or greater than "21", the number-of-story counter becomes "22" in the main game state 12 after the end of 1BB (battle end processing described later), and It shifts to the game state 16.

As described above, in the advantageous section, when 1BB (1BBB or 1BBC) without setting difference or 1BB (1BBA) with setting difference is in operation, the state shifts to the main gaming state 12 after the end of the BB operation. I do. Then, in the main game state 12, the number of talks counter is set to "+1", the state management counter is set to "40", and the main game state 2 or 16 is set. Can be set.
Therefore, in the non-advantaged section (normal section), when 1BB (1BBA) with a setting difference is won and the 1BBA operation is being performed, the operation does not shift to the advantageous section and the AT after the 1BBA operation is completed. On the other hand, in the advantageous section, when 1BB (1BBA) with a setting difference is won and the 1BBA operation is being performed, the AT is set or reset after the 1BBA operation is completed.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing AT-related data stored in the RWM 53 in the present embodiment. The data illustrated in FIG. 21 is a part, and various data other than the data illustrated in FIG. 21 are stored in the RWM 53.
In FIG. 21, the “advantageous section type” is “0 (non-advantaged section, ie, normal section)”, “1 (standby section)”, “2 (advantageous section and non-internal)” according to the current game section. ”Or“ 3 (in the advantageous section and inside) ”.

  For example, in FIG. 20, when the main gaming state is 0 and the advantageous section type is 0, “0” is stored as the advantageous section type. In this state, for example, if 1BBB or 1BBC is won, the main game state is 0 and the advantageous section type is 1 (standby section), and the data is updated from “0” to “1”. Further, when the winning 1BBB or 1BBC wins, the main game state 13 and the advantageous section type 2 are set, so that the data is updated from “1” to “2”.

The “main gaming state” is data for determining the current main gaming state. If the main gaming state is 0, “0” is stored, and if the main gaming state is 2, “2” is stored.
The “advantageous section clear counter” is data for counting the number of games in the advantageous section, is “0” in the non-advantaged section, and “1500” (initial value) at the start of the advantageous section when the transition to the advantageous section is made. ) Is set. Then, "1" is decremented each time one game is consumed (decrement counter). When the advantageous section clear counter becomes "0", it is determined that the continuous upper limit number of games in the advantageous section has been reached, and the advantageous section ends.

When the advantageous section clear counter is constituted by the increment counter, during the advantageous section, each game is added with “1”, and when the advantageous section clear counter becomes “1500”, the upper limit number of games of the advantageous section is increased. Is reached, the advantageous section is terminated, and the advantageous section clear counter is cleared (set to “0”).
The “CZ (chance zone) rank” is a value indicating whether or not to shift to AT and, when shifting to AT, its advantage (continuation rate). When the CZ rank is “0”, it indicates that the AT is not won, and when it is “1” or more, it indicates that the AT is won. The AT continuation rate (the winning probability of the continuous lottery at the end of one set AT in the main game state 2) is set to be higher as the value of the CZ rank is larger.

  The “state management counter” is data (decrement counter) indicating the number of remaining games in the main gaming state 1 (a precursor) or the main gaming state 2 (AT). 1 "is subtracted. When the state management counter becomes "0", it is determined that the end condition of the main gaming state 1 (the precursor) is satisfied, and the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 are determined according to the CZ rank at that time. Or, it shifts to the main game state 2 and the advantageous section type 2.

In the main game state 2, "40" is set when one set of AT is started, and "1" is subtracted from each game. When an additional lottery is won during the AT, the number of games won is added to the state management counter. Then, in the main gaming state 2, when the state management counter becomes "0", the AT of the set is terminated, and the continuous lottery is executed.
The "number of talks counter" is data (increment counter) corresponding to the number of AT sets, and is "0" before shifting to the main gaming state 2, and "1" when shifting to the main gaming state 2. Become. Then, when the AT of one set of 40 games is executed and the AT continuous lottery is won, the talk number counter becomes “+1”, and the AT of one set of 40 games is executed again. In addition, when 1BB is won during the advantageous section and the main game state 12 is entered, the talk number counter becomes “+1”.
On the other hand, when the AT continuous lottery is not won, the talk number counter is cleared and the main game state is shifted to 0 and the advantageous section type is shifted to 0.
When the number-of-talks counter reaches “22”, it is determined that the condition for shifting from the main gaming state 2 to the main gaming state 16 is satisfied, and the processing shifts to the main gaming state 16. Then, the talk number counter “22” is maintained until the end of the AT (advantage section).

The “continuation counter” is data indicating whether to continue the AT, and is “0” before determining whether to continue the AT, “1” when it is determined not to continue the AT, Is stored, the value of “2” is stored. At the end of the one set AT40 game in the main game state 2, the value of the continuation counter is read, and it is determined whether or not to continue the AT.
The “upper rank” is data for determining whether or not to execute the AT (advantage section) up to the “1500” game, which is the continuous upper limit number of games. Is stored, and "0" is stored otherwise. During the AT, it is determined by lottery whether or not this upper rank is set to “7”.

The description returns to FIG.
In FIG. 1, an external signal transmitting means 70 transmits an external signal to the external centralized terminal board 100. The external signal is a signal indicating the start and end of the advantageous section, the start and end of the AT, the start and end of the operation of the accessory, and the like.

The control command transmitting means 71 transmits information (control command) output to the sub-control board 80 and required for an effect to the sub-control board 80.
The control command includes, for example, a first control command and a second control command. Both the first control command and the second control command are, for example, 8-bit 1-byte data. One control command is a pair of the first control command and the second control command. For example, setting the first control command to data indicating the type of the control command, and setting the second control command to data indicating the parameter (variable).

For example, in the case of a control command indicating RT, the first control command is “33 (H)” (00110011 (B)) in the present embodiment. Further, when the parameter of RT is, for example, RT1, it is “00000001 (B)” in the present embodiment. Therefore, the two-byte data "00110011/00000001"("/" indicates between the first control command and the second control command and does not actually exist) obtained by combining them is an RT control command. Is transmitted from the main control board 50 to the sub control board 80.
The push order instruction number (only when the push order is informed), the effect group number, and the accessory condition device number are also transmitted in the same manner as in the above-mentioned RT. Also in this case, the first control command is type data, and the second control command is data stored in the RWM 53.

  The control command transmitting means 71 does not transmit the winning and replay condition device numbers to the sub-control board 80. This is because, for example, when the winning numbers “8” to “13” (small wins A1 to A6) are won, the correct answer pressing order may be known based on the winning and replay condition device numbers due to fraud. On the other hand, there is no possibility of the above-mentioned misconduct regarding the accessory condition apparatus number. Therefore, for example, when 1 BBA is won, the accessory condition apparatus number “1” (00000001 (B)) is transmitted to the sub-control board 80.

In FIG. 1, the sub CPU 85 of the sub control board 80 includes an effect output control unit 91.
As described above, the effect output control means 91 is based on the control commands transmitted from the main control board 50, specifically, based on each control command such as a pressing order instruction number, an effect group number, and an accessory condition device number. At what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what kind of effect is output (how the lamp 21 is turned on, blinking or turned off, the speaker 22 , And what kind of image is to be displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).

  Then, the effect output control means 91 controls the outputs of the effect lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 according to the determination. Also, during 1BB operation or during AT, the acquired number, the number of games (the number of remaining games or the number of digested games) and the like are displayed as images. Further, during the AT, when the instruction function is operated, the correct answer pressing order is notified (image display). For example, when the player wins the small role A1 in the game during the AT and receives a control command corresponding to the pressing order instruction number, the player may enter the correct pressing order such as "123" or "left center right". Informs the user that the correct answer order can be easily known. FIG. 3 shows an example in which “123” and the pressing order are displayed as images.

  Furthermore, the control command of the effect group number does not include information on which winning number (role) was actually won, but can be said to include rough winning information. For example, when a control command corresponding to the effect group number “6” (see FIG. 9) indicating that the small role A group has been won is received, the sub-control board determines which of the small role A groups has been won. 80 cannot know. However, it is possible to know which of the small role group A has been won. Therefore, it is possible to output an effect such as displaying a symbol of "bell" or turning on a frame lamp in "yellow" which is a color corresponding to "bell".

As described above, in the main game state 13 (without setting difference 1BB operation), the CZ rank addition lottery is performed (provided that the CZ rank is not “4”). In 13, it is possible to output an effect indicating the presence or absence of the CZ rank addition lottery, the lottery result, and the like.
In addition, in the main gaming state 1 (during a sign), the effect output control means 91 can output an effect indicating whether or not the AT has been won (CZ rank). Further, in the main gaming state 1, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game, so that the production output control means 91 performs the production indicating the presence or absence of the CZ rank addition lottery, the lottery result, and the like. Output possible.

Furthermore, in the main gaming state 2 (AT), the additional lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game, and therefore, the effect output control means 91 determines whether or not the additional lottery is performed in the main gaming state 2 and the lottery result. It is possible to output an effect that suggests, for example. Further, in the main gaming state 2, since the continuous lottery is executed in the game at the end of the one set AT, the effect output control means 91 can output an effect indicating the result of the continuous lottery.
In addition, in the main game state 14 (1BB game related to 1BB with no set difference won during the advantageous section), an additional lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game, and therefore the effect output control means 91 In the gaming state 14, it is possible to output an effect indicating the presence or absence of an additional lottery, the result of the lottery, and the like.

  On the other hand, in the main game state 15 (the 1BB game related to the 1BB with the setting difference winning during the advantageous section and 1BB), the additional lottery as in the main game state 14 is not executed. At 15, no effect related to the additional lottery is output. For example, in the main gaming state 15, the effect output control means 91 outputs an effect for displaying an introduction of a character appearing, an introduction of a story, or the like, as an image. However, after the end of the main game state 15, the state shifts to the main game state 2 or 16 (AT) via the main game state 12, so that after the end of the main game state 15, an effect indicating that the state shifts to the AT is provided. Output is possible.

Further, the main game state 16 is a main game state in which it is determined that the AT is executed until the advantageous section reaches the continuation upper limit number of games. Therefore, in the main game state 16, the effect output control means 91 does not output an effect relating to the continuation of the AT or an increase in the number of games (effect relating to the notification game (AT)), even if the rare winning combination is won.
Here, the “effect related to the notification game (AT)” includes a suggestion effect and a notification effect regarding winning and continuation of the notification game (AT), and a suggestion effect and a notification effect regarding an additional number of AT games. It does not include the presentation of the description of (AT) itself.
Further, even if the player wins 1BB in the main game state 16 and executes the 1BB game, the main game state 16 is maintained. For this reason, the effect that the 1BB game is currently being played can be output, but the effect related to the additional lottery output in the main game state 14 is not output.

In the main game state 16, when the advantageous section clear counter becomes “88” or less, the AT effect up to that point is switched to the ending effect. The ending effect is an effect for notifying the player that the remaining number of games in the advantageous section (AT) has decreased, in other words, that the advantageous section (AT) is nearing the end.
The details of the production when 1BB is won during the ending production will be described later (FIGS. 48 to 49). Continue the production.

Subsequently, a control flow of the present embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, a main process (also referred to as a main loop) performed once per game is provided as information processing for progressing the game. In the main processing, detection of inserted medals, stop control of the reels 31, winning processing after all the reels 31 have stopped, and the like are performed.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the main processing in the present embodiment.
Note that the main process in FIG. 22 is mainly a minimum process that needs to be described in the present embodiment, and the medal receiving process, the reel stop control process, the payout process, and the like are omitted. It does not mean that the process of is not performed.
In FIG. 22, in a step S11, start-time control is performed. This processing is executed when a predetermined number of medals of the game are bet and the start switch 41 is operated. For example, the reel control unit 65 executes processing such as starting rotation of the reel 31.
Next, proceeding to step S12, the winning combination lottery means 61 performs lottery of the winning number. In the next step S13, an advantageous section shift process is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 23, which will be described later, and includes a process of performing a CZ rank lottery when a BB is won in the game and setting (storing) the lottery result.
Next, the process proceeds to step S14, in which an advantageous section type management start process is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 24, which will be described later, and is a process of setting a pressing order instruction number and the like.

In the next step S15, a start command is transmitted. In this process, the control command transmitting unit 71 transmits the effect group number, the pressing order instruction information, and the like to the sub-control board 80. The effect group number and the pressing order instruction information are determined based on the winning combination drawing result (winning number) in step S12.
Next, proceeding to step S16, when the stop switch 42 is operated based on the winning combination lottery result (winning number) in step S12, the reel control means 65 stops the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42. . When all the reels 31 have been stopped, the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, the advantageous section type management all stop processing is executed. This processing is the processing shown in FIG. 25, and performs processing according to the stop symbol, management processing of the advantageous section clear counter, and the like. Then, the process proceeds to step S18, where the control command transmitting unit 71 transmits information on the winning combination, information on the number of payouts, and the like to the sub-control board 80.

FIG. 23A is a flowchart showing the advantageous section shift processing in step S13 in FIG.
In FIG. 23A, in a step S31, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section type is “0”. This determination is made by determining whether or not the value of the advantageous section type of the RWM 53 shown in FIG. 21 is “0”. When it is determined that the advantageous section type is “0”, the process proceeds to step S32, and when it is determined that the advantageous section type is not “0”, the process according to this flowchart ends.
Here, in the present flowchart, when the advantageous section type is “0”, it is determined whether or not a condition for setting the advantageous section type to “1” is satisfied. When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the advantageous section type is determined. Is set to “1”.

In the next step S32, it is determined whether or not a special combination has been won in the game. When a special combination is won in the game, a value other than “0” is stored in the storage area of the RWM 53 as the accessory condition device number. It is determined whether or not there is. When it is determined that the special combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S33, and when it is determined that the special combination has not been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.
In step S33, it is determined whether or not the winning special combination is one of 1BBB, 1BBC, and 2BB. When the accessory condition device numbers are "2" to "6", it is determined that any of these special combinations has been won. When it is determined that one of 1BBB, 1BBC, and 2BB has been won, the process proceeds to step S34.
Then, in step S34, "1" is set to the advantageous section type. Thereby, the game section becomes a standby section.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S35 to perform a CZ rank lottery. This lottery is for determining whether or not to shift to the main gaming state 2, that is, AT. Here, FIG. 23 (b) is a diagram showing the number of CZ rank lotteries according to the winning combination. When the winning special combination is 1BBB or 1BBC, the CZ rank “4” is selected with a probability of “4/256”. On the other hand, when the winning special combination is 2BB, the CZ rank “0” is selected with a probability of “256/256”. In the present embodiment, when the CZ rank is “0”, an AT non-winning state is indicated, and when the CZ rank is “1” or more, an AT winning state is indicated. Therefore, just winning 2BB does not win AT. On the other hand, when 1BBB or 1BBC is won, the CZ rank may be “4” (AT is won).

  In the next step S36, the CZ rank determined in step S35 is stored in the RWM 53 (FIG. 21). Next, the process proceeds to a step S37, and it is determined whether or not the CZ rank is “0”. When the CZ rank is “0”, the process proceeds to step S38, and when the CZ rank is not “0”, the process according to this flowchart ends.

  In step S38, "5" is set in the state management counter. "5" of the state management counter set here is the number of precursor games. For example, when “5” is set in the state management counter based on the winning of 2BB, it means that five gaseous omens in the main game state 1 after the end of the 2BB game are executed. However, there is a case where an AT is won during a gaze omen. When the state management counter is set to “5” based on the winning of 1BBB or 1BBC, the initial value of the state management counter in the main game state 13 (1BB game without setting difference) becomes “5”. In the main gaming state 13, as shown in step S224 of FIG. 35 described later, a precursor counter addition lottery (a lottery for adding the number of precursor games) is executed, and when this lottery is won, the winning value (the precursor game) Is added. After step S38, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type management start processing in step S14 in FIG.
First, in step S51, an instruction number setting process is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 26, and is a process of setting a pressing order instruction number corresponding to a winning number.
In the next step S52, branching of the advantageous section type is executed. Here, the advantageous section type at this point is determined, and when the advantageous section type is “0”, “1”, or “3”, the process according to this flowchart ends, and the advantageous section type is “2”. If so, the process proceeds to step S53.
In step S53, the advantageous section type 2 start-time process is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 27, and executes a start process corresponding to the main game state. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type management all stop processing in step S17 in FIG.
First, in step S61, the advantageous section type 3 branch is executed. The advantageous section type at the present time is determined, and if the advantageous section type is “0”, the process proceeds to step S64. If the advantageous section type is “2”, the process proceeds to step S62, and the advantageous section type is “1” or If it is "3", the flow proceeds to step S63.
In step S64, an advantageous section clear counter management process is executed. This processing is the processing shown in FIG. 30, and executes processing such as updating the advantageous section clear counter.

On the other hand, in step S62, all stop processing corresponding to the advantageous section type 2 is executed. This processing is the processing shown in FIG. 28, and executes the entire stop processing according to the main game state. In step S63, a special combination symbol display process is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 29, and is a process of setting a main game state or the like when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination stops (when the special combination wins). After the processing in steps S62 and S63, the process proceeds to step S64.
Then, after the processing in step S64, the processing according to the present flowchart ends.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the instruction number setting process in step S51 of FIG.
First, in step S71, an instruction number "0" is set. This process is a process of clearing the storage area of the RWM 53 storing the instruction number.
In the next step S72, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section clear counter is not “0”. When it is determined that it is not “0” (that is, when it is during the advantageous section), the process proceeds to step S73, and when it is determined that it is “0”, the process according to this flowchart ends. Therefore, the instruction number setting process is executed only during the advantageous section.

  In step S73, a four-branch process of the condition device corresponding to the winning number won in the game is performed. When the replay E1 of the winning number “5” is activated, the process proceeds to step S74. When the replay E2 of the winning number “6” is activated, the process proceeds to step S75. When the replay E3 of the winning number “7” is activated, the process proceeds to step S76. The process proceeds to step S80 except when the replays E1 to E3 are activated.

In step S74, a lottery of the instruction number is performed. Here, one of the instruction numbers “A1” and “A2” is selected. Here, the relationship between the instruction number and the pressing order is as follows.
A1: Middle left (push order "= 1" is displayed)
A2: Middle left and right (press order "= 2" is displayed)
A3: Middle left and right (press order "= 3" is displayed)
A4: Middle right left (Pressing order "= 4" is displayed)
A5: Middle right and left (displays "= 5" in order of pressing)
A6: Right middle left (press order "= 6" is displayed)
In the present embodiment, only the stop switch 42 for the first stop is determined in the correct answer pressing order when the replays E1 to E3 are activated. Therefore, for example, the correct answer pressing order at the time of the replay E1 operation is the first left stop. In the present embodiment, only six selections are defined as the pressing order instruction numbers. Therefore, when the replays E1 to E3 are activated, any one of the six-selection pressing order corresponding to the correct pressing order is selected by lot. For example, at the time of replay E1 operation, one of “A1” and “A2” is selected. Since “A1” to “A6” are hexadecimal numbers, for example, “A1” becomes “10100001 (B)”, and this value is stored in the storage area of the RWM 53 for the push order instruction number. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the segment lighting pattern corresponding to “A” is “=”. Therefore, when the push order instruction number "A1" is selected, "= 1" is displayed on the acquired number display LED 78.

  As described above, when the replay E1 is activated, one of “A1” and “A2” is selected (step S74), and the selected pressing order instruction number is stored in the RWM 53 (step S77). Similarly, when the replay E2 is activated, one of “A3” and “A4” is selected (step S75), and the selected pressing order instruction number is stored in the RWM 53 (step S78). Similarly, when the replay E3 is activated, one of "A5" and "A6" is selected (step S76), and the selected pressing order instruction number is stored in the RWM 53 (step S79). After the above processing, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  On the other hand, when the process proceeds from step S73 to step S80, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section type is “3” (an advantageous section and inside 1BB). When it is determined that it is the advantageous section type “3”, the process proceeds to step S82, and when it is determined that it is not the advantageous section type “3”, the process proceeds to step S81. In the step S81, it is determined whether or not the main game state exceeds “1” (for example, whether or not the main game state is 2). When it is determined that the main gaming state exceeds “1”, the process proceeds to step S82, and when it is determined that the main gaming state does not exceed “1” (when the main gaming state is “0” or “1”), the processing according to this flowchart ends. .

In step S82, seven branches of the condition device are executed. In the game, the winning numbers “8” to “13” are won, and when the small devices A1 to A6 of the condition devices are activated, the process proceeds to steps S83 to S88, respectively. On the other hand, the processing according to this flowchart ends except when the small wins A1 to A6 are activated.
When it is determined in step S82 that the small combination A1 is activated, the process proceeds to step S83, where the instruction number "A1" is set, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.
If it is determined in step S82 that the small combination A2 is activated, the process proceeds to step S84, where the instruction number "A2" is set, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.

Similarly, when it is determined in step S82 that the small win A3 is activated, the process proceeds to step S85, where the instruction number "A3" is set, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.
If it is determined in step S82 that the small combination A4 is activated, the process proceeds to step S86, where the instruction number "A4" is set, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.
Further, similarly, when it is determined in step S82 that the small combination A5 is activated, the process proceeds to step S87, the instruction number "A5" is set, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.
If it is determined in step S82 that the small combination A6 is activated, the process proceeds to step S88, where the instruction number "A6" is set, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.

By the above processing, if the advantageous section clear counter is not “0” (if the section is in the advantageous section), the correct answer pressing order is notified when the replay E group is won.
Also, when the advantageous section type is "3" (inside 1BB in the advantageous section) or when the main game state exceeds "1" (during AT), the correct answer pressing order is notified at the time of winning the small role group A group. I do.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type 2 start processing in step S53 in FIG.
In FIG. 27, in step S101, it is determined whether or not 1BB is not won. If it is determined that 1BB has not been won, the process proceeds to step S102, and if it is determined that 1BB has been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S102, seven branches are executed according to the current main game state. The reason for such control is that the start-time processing is different depending on the main game state.
First, when the main game state is 0, the process proceeds to step S103, and a CZ rank addition lottery process is executed. Here, when the main game state is 0 during the advantageous section type 2, that is, during the advantageous section, it corresponds to the case where the player is in the 2BB game as shown in FIG. In the 2BB game, a CZ rank addition lottery process is executed based on the operated condition device. As described above, at the time of 2BB winning, the CZ rank is “0” (FIG. 23B). Then, when the game shifts to the 2BB game, an addition lottery process of the CZ rank is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 31 described later, and is a substantial AT lottery. After the CZ rank addition lottery process, the process according to this flowchart ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S102 that the game is in the main game state 1, the process proceeds to step S104, and the main game state 1 start process (FIG. 32 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S102 that the game mode is the main game state 2, the process proceeds to step S105, and the main game state 2 start process (FIG. 33A described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S102 that the game is in the main game state 12, the process proceeds to step S106, and a process at the time of start of the main game state 12 (FIG. 34 (a) described later) is executed.

If it is determined in step S102 that the current game state is the main game state 13, the process proceeds to step S107, and the main game state 13 start process (FIG. 35 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S102 that the game is in the main game state 14, the process proceeds to step S108, and a process at the time of start of the main game state 14 (FIG. 37 described later) is executed. Further, similarly, when it is determined in step S102 that the main game state is not any of the main game states 0, 1, 2, 12, 13, or 14 (therefore, the main game state 15 or 16), the processing according to this flowchart ends. I do.
The start processing for each of the main game states is processing for executing a lottery or the like according to each game state.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type 2 all stop processing in step S62 in FIG.
First, in step S121, it is determined whether or not 1BB is not won. If it is determined that 1BB has not been won, the process proceeds to step S124. On the other hand, when it is determined that 1BB has been won, the process proceeds to step S122. In step S122, the advantageous section type “3” is set. That is, the advantageous section type indicates the inside of 1BB in the advantageous section. Next, the process proceeds to step S123 to execute a special combination symbol display process. This process is a process shown in FIG. 29, and is a process for determining whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination has stopped on the activated line, and for setting the main game state accordingly. Then, after this processing, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  In step S124, eight branches are executed according to the main game state. This is because the processing at the time of stopping all the reels 31 is different depending on each main game state. First, when it is determined in step S124 that the current game state is the main game state 0, the process proceeds to step S125, and the main game state 0 complete stop processing (FIG. 38 (a) described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the game mode is the main game state 1, the process proceeds to step S126, and the main game state 1 all stop processing (FIG. 39 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the game mode is the main game state 2, the process proceeds to step S127, and the main game state 2 all stop processing (FIG. 40 described later) is executed. Further, similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the game mode is the main game state 12, the process proceeds to step S128, and the main game state 12 all stop processing (FIG. 41 described later) is executed.

  If it is determined in step S124 that the game is in the main game state 13, the process proceeds to step S129, and the main game state 13 all stop processing (FIG. 42 (a) described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the game mode is the main game state 14, the process proceeds to step S130, and the main game state 14 all stop processing (FIG. 43 described later) is executed. Further, similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the game mode is the main game state 15, the process proceeds to step S131, and the main game state 15 all stop processing (FIG. 44 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that none of the main gaming states 0 to 2 and 12 to 15 is present (therefore, the main gaming state is 16), the processing according to this flowchart ends.

As described above, after executing the all-stop processing according to each game state, the processing according to this flowchart ends.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, in the advantageous section type 2 (during the advantageous section), a start process and a total stop process for each game state are executed.
When the game is in the main game state 16, the lottery (additional lottery or the like) relating to the AT is not executed, so that there is no start-time processing and all stop processing peculiar to the main game state 16.

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the special role symbol display processing in step S63 in FIG. 25 and step S123 in FIG. Note that the “special combination” in this flowchart indicates special combinations (1BB and 2BB) excluding SB.
First, in step S141, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination has stopped on the activated line in the game (whether the special combination has won). When it is determined that the special combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S142, and when it is determined that the special combination has not been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S142, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB is not displayed. When it is determined that the symbol combination of 2BB is not displayed (2BB does not win), the process proceeds to step S143, and when it is determined that the symbol combination of 2BB is not hidden (2BB wins), the process proceeds to step S149. .
In the step S143, it is determined whether or not the main game state 16 is set. When it is determined that the game mode is not the main game state 16, the process proceeds to step S144, and when it is determined that the game mode is the main game state 16, the process proceeds to step S149.

In step S144, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to 1BBA has stopped at the active line. If it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to 1BBA has stopped at the active line, the process proceeds to step S146. If it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to 1BBA has not stopped at the active line, the process proceeds to step S145. When it is determined in step S144 that the symbol combination does not correspond to 1BBA, it means that the symbol combination corresponding to 1BBB or 1BBC has stopped on the active line.
In the step S146, the main game state 15 is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S149.

On the other hand, when the process proceeds from step S144 to step S145, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section type is “3”. When it is determined that the advantageous section type is “3”, the process proceeds to step S147, and when it is determined that the advantageous section type is not “3”, the process proceeds to step S148.
In the step S147, the main game state 14 is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S149. On the other hand, in step S148, the main game state 13 is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S149.
In step S149, the advantageous section type 2 is set. By this processing, the advantageous section type is updated from “3” or “1” to “2”. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section clear counter management processing in step S64 in FIG.
First, in step S164, the advantageous section clear counter is decremented by "1". This process is a process of subtracting “1” from the advantageous section clear counter value stored in the RWM 53. Next, the process proceeds to step S162, and it is determined whether or not the advantageous section clear counter before the subtraction in step S161 is “0”. If it is determined to be “0”, the process proceeds to step S163, and if it is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S165.
Here, the fact that the value of the advantageous section clear counter before the subtraction is “0” means that it is not within the advantageous section.

Although not shown in the flowchart, when the value of the advantageous section clear counter before the subtraction is “0”, even if “1” is subtracted, the counter after the subtraction becomes “0”. ing.
In step S163, it is determined whether the advantageous section type is “2”, that is, whether or not the vehicle is in an advantageous section. When it is determined that the advantageous section type is “2”, the process proceeds to step S164, and when it is determined that the advantageous section type is not “2”, the process according to this flowchart ends.
In step S164, the advantageous section clear counter value stored in the RWM 53 is updated to "1500". That is, this is a process of setting the initial value of the advantageous section clear counter at the start of the advantageous section. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  On the other hand, in step S162, it is determined that the advantageous section clear counter before subtraction is not “0”, and when the process proceeds to step S165, it is determined whether the advantageous section clear counter after subtraction is “0”. Here, it is determined to be “0” when the number of games in the advantageous section reaches “1500”, that is, when the number of games to be continued in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit number of games. When it is determined that the subtraction of the advantageous section clear counter is “0”, the process proceeds to step S166, and when it is determined that the counter is not “0”, the process according to this flowchart ends.

  In step S166, all parameters related to the advantageous section are completely cleared. Among the data stored in the RWM 53, for example, the parameters shown in FIG. 21 are all set to “0”. As a result, the advantageous section type becomes “0”, and the main game state also becomes “0”. As a result, from the next game, as shown in FIG. 20, the game state is shifted to the advantageous section type 0 (non- advantageous section) and the main gaming state 0. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends. At the time of step S166, the advantageous section clear counter has already been set to "0", so there is no need to clear it. However, for example, if the batch clearing process is more efficient, step S166 will be repeated. The advantageous section clear counter may be cleared.

FIG. 31A is a flowchart showing the CZ rank addition lottery. Note that the CZ rank addition lottery is performed not only in step S103 in FIG. 27 but also in step S182 in FIG. 32 (main game state 1 start process) described later and in FIG. 35 (main game state 13 start process) in later-described step S222. Be executed.
FIG. 31B is a diagram showing a condition device and a numerical table in the CZ rank addition lottery process.
In FIG. 31A, in a step S171, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery condition device is operated. Here, the "AT lottery condition device" corresponds to a condition device to be subjected to the CZ rank addition lottery (a winning number to be subjected to the CZ rank addition lottery).

FIG. 31B is a diagram showing the condition devices to be subjected to the CZ rank addition lottery process and the numbers thereof.
The AT lottery condition device corresponds to replay D and SB during a precursor preparation or a 2BB game during a precursor. When a replay D or SB is won, a winning flag of the winning ALL is also set at the same time.
The AT lottery condition device in the precursor corresponds to 2BB (2BBA to 2BBC), small win C (strong cherry), small win D (weak cherry), and small win E (watermelon A).
Furthermore, the AT lottery condition device during the 1BB game is equivalent to the small win H (small win ALL), the small win I (BB middle weak rare), and the small win J (BB middle strong rare).
When it is determined in step S171 that the AT lottery condition device is operating, the process proceeds to step S172, and when it is determined that the AT lottery condition device is not operating, the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S172, the addition lottery of the CZ rank is performed at the time of the AT lottery condition device operation with the winning probability corresponding to the number table shown in FIG. 31B (step S172).
When the CZ rank is “0”, it corresponds to non-AT winning, and when it is “1” or more, it corresponds to AT winning.
For example, in the 2BB game during the preparation for the precursor or during the precursor, if the player wins the replay D, the CZ rank “1” or more is selected with a probability of “134/256”, so the AT is won.

If the player wins the replay D for two consecutive games during the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery 1 can be received twice. Then, the total value of the two times is added to the CZ rank. Note that the upper limit of the CZ rank is “4” in the present embodiment. Therefore, when the CZ rank is already “4”, even if the CZ rank addition lottery is executed, the lottery result is not added. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the CZ rank becomes “4”, the CZ rank addition lottery is not executed even if the execution conditions of the CZ rank addition lottery are satisfied (even if the AT lottery condition device operates). You may.
Next, the process proceeds to step S173, and a value corresponding to the lottery result is added to the CZ rank of the RWMZ53. For example, if the CZ rank up to that point is “1” and the CZ rank addition lottery in the game is won as “1”, the CZ rank of the RWM 53 is updated to “2”. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the main game state 1 start processing in step S104 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 20, the main gaming state 1 corresponds to the precursor of the advantageous section type 2.
First, in step S181, “1” is subtracted from the state management counter. The state management counter here counts the number of predictive games, and a predetermined value is set when shifting to the main game state 1. Then, in the main game state 1, "1" is subtracted from the state management counter for each game. Next, proceeding to step S182, a CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game.

  Since the CZ rank addition lottery here is during the precursor, it corresponds to “CZ rank addition lottery 2” in FIG. 31 (b). In the game, when the condition device of 2BB, small win C, small win D, or small win E is activated, the value to be added to the CZ rank is determined by the numeral shown in FIG. 31 (b). The CZ rank addition lottery is not executed except when these condition devices are operated. At the time of 2BB winning, the CZ addition lottery may not be executed, but as shown in FIG. 31B, a lottery in which “0” is selected with a 100% probability may be executed. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 33 (a) is a flowchart showing the main game state 2 start processing in step S105 in FIG. FIG. 33B is a diagram showing a numerical table for each condition device at the time of additional lottery.
In FIG. 33A, first, in a step S191, it is determined whether or not the value of the state management counter is “0”. Note that the main gaming state 2 is AT, and when one set of ATs is started, “40” is stored in the state management counter. During the AT, each game and the state management counter are decremented by "1". When the state management counter becomes “0”, it is determined that the end condition of one set AT is satisfied.

When it is determined that the state management counter is not “0” and the process proceeds to step S192, “1” is subtracted from the value of the state management counter. Next, the process proceeds to step S193, and it is determined whether or not the additional target condition device has been operated in the game. Here, the “addition target condition device” in the present flowchart indicates a condition device that can execute the addition of the number of games of one set AT40 game.
FIG. 33 (b) shows a condition device to be subjected to an additional lottery and its numerical table. The additional target condition devices are 2BB, 2BB, replay D and SB during the game, small role C (strong cherry), small role D (weak cherry), small role E (watermelon A), small role H during the 1BB game (small). Role ALL), small role I (weak rare in BB), and small role J (strong middle BB).

When it is determined that these condition devices have been operated, the process proceeds to step S194, and an additional lottery is executed. For example, when the small winning combination C (strong cherry) is activated, the additional number “30” is determined with the probability of “85/256”, and the additional number “50” is determined with the probability of “85/256”.
As a result of the additional lottery, when an additional number exceeding "0" is won, the value is added to the state management counter. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

On the other hand, in step S191, it is determined that the state management counter is "0", and when the process proceeds to step S195, a continuous lottery process is executed. The continuous lottery process is a lottery for determining whether or not to execute the next set of AT (40 games), and is executed based on the winning probability shown in the flowchart of FIG.
In the next step S196, it is determined whether or not the continuous lottery has been won. Here, when the continuous lottery result is “0”, it is determined that the game is not won, and when the continuous lottery result is “1”, it is determined that the game is won. If it is determined that the continuous lottery has been won, the process proceeds to step S199, and “2” is stored in the continuous counter of the RWM 53. The continuation counter “2” means AT continuation, and the continuation counter “1” means AT non-continuation (end). Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S196 that the continuous lottery has not been won, the process proceeds to step S197. In the step S197, it is determined whether or not the upper rank is “7”.
Here, the “upper limit rank” is a flag indicating whether or not to execute the advantageous section up to the continuous upper limit number of games (1500 games), and when the upper limit rank is “7”, the advantageous section is set to the continuous upper limit number of games. (1500 games) indicates that it is set to be executed, and when the upper limit rank is “0”, it indicates that it is not set to execute the advantageous section up to the continuous upper limit number of games (1500 games). .

If it is determined in step S197 that the upper limit rank is “7”, the advantageous section is executed up to the continuous upper limit number of games (1500 games). That is, if the upper limit rank is “7” even if the lottery is not won in the continuous lottery, the AT is continued.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S197 that the upper limit rank is not “7”, the process proceeds to step S198, and “1” (AT non-continuation) is stored in the continuation counter. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 34A is a flowchart showing the main game state 2 start-time process in step S106 in FIG. FIG. 34 (b) is a diagram showing a numerical table of the upper limit rank lottery in step S213 in FIG. 34 (a).
In FIG. 34A, first, in a step S211, it is determined whether or not the upper limit rank is “7”. This is because if the upper limit rank is already “7”, the lottery of the upper limit rank is not performed. When it is determined that the upper limit rank is “7”, the processing according to this flowchart ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the upper limit rank is not “7”, the process proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, it is determined whether the number-of-story counter is “0”. When the talk number counter is "0", the process proceeds to step S213, and when it is determined that the talk number counter is not "0", the process according to the flowchart is ended.
Here, the main game state 12 and the number of talks counter being “0” are the first game after winning 1BB during the fake precursor (main game state 1) and the 1BB game is completed. In this case, the lottery of the upper rank is executed. In addition, the lottery of the upper limit rank is also executed in step S284 of FIG. 40 (main game state 2 all stop processing) described later, in addition to step S213.

Then, when the process proceeds to step S213, a lottery for the upper rank is executed.
As shown in FIG. 34B, the lottery of the upper limit rank is executed based on the value of the CZ rank in the game. For example, when the CZ rank is “0”, there is no case where the upper rank is won. On the other hand, for example, when the CZ rank is “4”, the upper rank is won with a probability of “32/256”.

Then, the process proceeds to step S214, and it is determined whether or not the upper rank has been won. If it is determined that the upper rank has been won, the process proceeds to step S215.
In step S215 (at the time of winning the upper rank), “7” is stored in the upper rank storage area of the RWM 53. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing a process at the time of starting the main game state 13 in step S107 of FIG. The main game state 13 corresponds to the 1BB operation (game) without setting difference. Then, in the process of FIG. 35, in the main game state 13, the CZ rank addition and the lottery of the precursor game number are executed.
First, in step S221, it is determined whether the CZ rank is “4”. When it is determined that the CZ rank is “4”, the processing according to this flowchart ends. This is because when the CZ rank is already the maximum value “4”, the CZ rank addition lottery and the like are not executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the CZ rank is not “4”, the process proceeds to step S222.

In step S222, a CZ rank addition lottery is executed. This CZ addition lottery is a lottery process shown in FIG.
Next, the process proceeds to step S223, where it is determined whether or not the status management counter is “0”. The state management counter here indicates the number of precursor games. When it is determined that the state management counter is “0”, the processing according to this flowchart ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the state management counter is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S224.

In step S224, precursor sign addition lotteries 1 to 4 are performed.
Here, the “foreboding counter addition lottery” is to determine whether or not to add the foreboding game times, and to add the winning foreboding game times to the current foreboding game times. The precursor counter addition lottery will be described later.
Next, the process proceeds to step S225, in which the lottery result of step S224, that is, the number of awarded precursor games (the number of precursor games to be added) is added to the state management counter. For example, when the status management counter before step S224 is “5” and the lottery in step S224 wins “1”, a process of updating the status management counter to “6” in step S225 is executed.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S226, and it is determined whether or not the state management counter is equal to or greater than "15". In the present embodiment, when the state management counter becomes “15” or more, it is assumed that the AT having the highest continuation rate has been won. When it is determined that the state management counter is equal to or greater than “15”, the process proceeds to step S227, and when it is determined that the status management counter is not equal to or greater than “15”, the process according to this flowchart ends.

  In step S227, “4” is set to the CZ rank. Specifically, if the CZ rank up to that point is other than “4”, it is rewritten to “4”. Next, the process proceeds to step S228, where "0" is set in the state management counter. This is because when the AT continuation rate becomes the highest CZ rank “4”, the state is shifted to the main gaming state 2 (AT) without performing the precursor (main gaming state 1). A process of setting a counter (precursor game times) to “0” is executed. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  As can be seen from the processing in FIG. 35, when the CZ rank has reached the maximum value “4”, the CZ rank addition lottery is not executed. Further, when the status management counter becomes “15” regardless of the current CZ rank, “4” is set as the CZ rank. Therefore, even if the current CZ rank is “0” (AT non-winning), the state management counter becomes “15” and the CZ rank may be set to “4”.

As described above, in the main game state 13 (without setting difference 1BB game), the CZ rank addition lottery is executed on condition that the CZ rank is not “4” for each game, and the state management counter is not “0”. Under this condition, the precursor counter addition lottery is executed.
Further, in the main gaming state 13, the AT winning expectation is displayed on the image display device 23 based on the precursor counter value.
The image display device 23 shown in FIG. 3 displays a meter. The meters are classified into 0 to 15, and the control is performed so that the higher the AT winning expectation degree, the larger the number of meters. Therefore, the main control board 50 transmits the state management counter value to each game and the sub control board 80. The sub-control board 80 determines the number of meters and the color thereof based on the state management counter value, and displays an image.

When shifting to the main game state 13, for example, in the initial stage, an effect of increasing the meter for each game (regardless of the state management counter value) is output. For example, the meter is also raised when the small role H (small role ALL) is won. Then, basically, the meter is increased so that “state management counter value = meter number”. In addition, control is performed such that the color of the meter is changed in the order of “white → blue → yellow → green → red → rainbow” (at CZ rank “4”) as the meter rises.
When the state management counter becomes "15"("Yes" in step S226 in FIG. 35), the CZ rank = "4" is determined (the AT having the highest continuation rate). Indicates that the number of meters of the image display device 23 is "15" (MAX), the color of the meter is rainbow, and the CZ rank is "4" (the AT winning with the highest continuation rate). Notify the player.

  As shown in FIG. 42 (a) to be described later, a lottery for subtracting the state management counter at the end of the 1BB operation, that is, at the last game of the main game state 13, as the entire stop processing of the main game state 13 (a precursor correction lottery) ) (When the status management counter is "0"). In the present embodiment, the AT winning expectation degree is set to be higher as the number of precursor games is longer. However, as the number of precursor games is smaller, the medal consumption of the player is smaller. Therefore, the number of precursor games is reduced by lottery. Note that even when the number of precursor games is reduced, the number of meters is not reduced.

Then, when the main game state 13 is terminated and the main game state 1 is entered (a precursor), an effect that enhances the AT winning expectation is output in accordance with each game and the number of meters.
Here, as shown in FIG. 32, the CZ rank addition lottery process is also performed in the main gaming state 1. For example, when the CZ rank is “0” when shifting to the main gaming state 1, when the CZ rank becomes “1” or more by the CZ rank addition lottery during the game in the main gaming state 1, the meter The final effect is changed from an AT non-winning effect to an AT winning effect by adding the numbers.

FIG. 36 is a diagram showing a numerical table of the precursor counter addition lottery 1 to 4 executed in step S224 of FIG. The precursor counter addition lottery includes four types of precursor counter addition lotteries 1 to 4 according to the current CZ rank and the state management counter value. Then, the number to be added is determined according to the condition device operated in the game.
For example, when the CZ rank is “0” and the state management counter is less than “10”, the precursor counter addition lottery 1 is executed. In this case, for example, when the winning number “21” is won in the game and the condition device of the small role I (BB middle weak rare) is activated, “1” is selected with a probability of “240/256”, “2” will be selected with a probability of 16/256.

  In the main gaming state 13 (during 1BBB or 1BBC game), the winning numbers “20” (small win H) to “22” (small win J) are drawn, but the winning device is low (high rarity). The larger the number of additions, the easier it is to select. Further, when the state management counter value is less than “10” than “10” or more, a larger addition number is set so as to be easily selected.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing a process at the time of starting the main gaming state 14 in step S108 of FIG. The main game state 14 corresponds to a 1BB (1BBB or 1BBC) game without setting difference, which has been won during the advantageous section.
In the main game state 14, an additional lottery shown in step S241 is performed at the start of each game or game. This lottery is the same as step S194 in FIG. 33 (a), and is executed based on the numeric table shown in FIG. 33 (b). In the 1BBB or 1BBC game, as shown in FIG. 16, since the lottery of the winning numbers “20” (small win H) to “22” (small win J) is performed, the condition device corresponding to the winning number is operated. , An additional lottery is executed. For example, when the small part J is won, “30” is selected with a winning probability of “85/256”, and “50” is selected with a winning probability of “85/256”. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends. Thereby, in the main gaming state 14, an additional lottery is executed for each game and the number of AT games.

  The additional number of AT games determined in the main gaming state 14 is added to the number of games “40” in the first AT1 set when the main game state 14 is shifted to the main gaming state 2 after the end of the main gaming state 14. For example, it is assumed that in the case of the main game state 2 and the number of talks counter "5", the main game state 14 is entered and the additional number of AT games is determined to be "30". In this case, when the main game state 14 ends and the main game state 2 is entered via the main game state 12, one set AT with the talk number counter "6" is started, but the talk number counter "6" is started. Is set to “40 + 30 = 70”.

FIG. 38 (a) is a flowchart showing the main game state 0 all stop processing in step S125 in FIG. FIG. 38 (b) is a diagram showing a table of numbers of the precursor counter lottery in step S252 of FIG. 38 (a).
As shown in FIG. 28, this processing is the main game state 0 all stop processing in the advantageous section type 2. Therefore, this is all stop processing during the 2BB game.

First, in step S251, it is determined whether the 2BB operation has been completed. Since the ending condition of the 2BB operation is the payout of more than one medal, the ending condition of the 2BB operation is satisfied when one of the small wins wins in the game. On the other hand, when the condition device of the replay C or D is activated in the game and the replay 05 wins, it is determined that the operation end condition of 2BB is not satisfied because there is no medal payout in the game.
When it is determined that the 2BB operation end condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S252, and when the 2BB operation end condition is not satisfied, the process according to this flowchart is ended.

  In step S252, a lottery of the precursor counter (the number of precursor games) is executed. The precursor counter lottery is determined according to whether or not the CZ rank is “0” as shown in FIG. The expected value of the precursor counter when the CZ rank is “0” is about “8.6”, and the expected value of the precursor counter when the CZ rank is “1” or more is about “11.0”. It is. Therefore, the expected value of the number of precursor games is larger at the time of AT win than at the time of non-AT win.

In the next step S253, the number of precursor games determined by the precursor counter lottery is set in the state management counter. Next, the routine proceeds to step S254, where "1" is set to the main game state. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.
The total value of the determined number of game play and “5” set in step S38 of FIG. 23A is the number of game play in the main game state 1 (a precursor).

FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the main game state 1 all stop processing in step S126 of FIG.
First, in step S261, it is determined whether or not the state management counter is “0”. When the state management counter is "0", the process proceeds to step S262, and when it is not "0", the process according to this flowchart is ended.
In step S262, it is determined whether or not the CZ rank is “0”. When it is determined that the CZ rank is “0”, the process proceeds to step S263, and when it is determined that the CZ rank is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S264.

In step S264, “2” is set as the main game state. That is, when the number of games ends in the main game state 1 (a precursor) (state management counter = "0"), and the CZ rank is not "0" (at the time of winning the AT), the main game state 2 (AT ).
Next, the process proceeds to step S265, where "40" is set in the state management counter. This value is an initial value of the number of games in one set AT. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  On the other hand, in step S262, it is determined that the CZ rank is “0”, and when the process proceeds to step S263, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB has stopped on the active line. When it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB has stopped on the active line, the processing according to this flowchart ends. If it is determined in step S263 that the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB has not stopped at the active line, the process proceeds to step S266. In step S266, it is determined whether 2BB is not operating. When it is determined that 2BB is not operating, the process proceeds to step S268, and various parameters relating to the advantageous section are cleared. That is, the advantageous section ends in the game. This is because when the state management counter is “0”, the CZ rank is “0”, and the 2BB is not operating, the end condition of the main gaming state 1 (advantageous section) is satisfied. The processing in step S268 is similar to the processing in step S166 in FIG. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  If it is determined in step S266 that the 2BB operation is not being performed (i.e., the 2BB operation is being performed), the process proceeds to step S267, and it is determined whether the 2BB operation is completed in the game. For example, when more than one medal is paid out in the game, it is determined that the operation of 2BB is completed. If it is determined that the operation of 2BB is to be ended, the process proceeds to step S268 to clear various parameters relating to the advantageous section, and ends the processing according to this flowchart. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S267 that the operation of 2BB is not to be ended in the game, the process according to the flowchart is ended.

FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the main game state 2 all stop processing in step S127 of FIG.
First, in step S281, a three-branch process is executed according to the continuation counter value. When the continuation counter is “0”, the process according to this flowchart ends, and when the continuation counter is “1” (AT non-continuation), the process proceeds to step S282, and the continuation counter is “2” (AT continuation). If so, the process proceeds to step S283.

In step S282, similarly to step S268 of FIG. 39 described above, all parameters of the advantageous section are all cleared. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.
When the continuation counter is “2” and the process proceeds to step S283, it is determined whether or not the upper limit rank is “7”. When it is determined that the upper limit rank is “7”, the process proceeds to step S287. On the other hand, if it is determined that the upper rank is not “7”, the flow proceeds to step S284. In step S284, a lottery for the upper rank is executed. The lottery of the upper rank here is the same as that in step S213 of FIG. 34 (a) and FIG. 34 (b).

Then, in the next step S285, it is determined whether or not the upper rank has been won. When it is determined that the upper rank has been won, the process proceeds to step S286, and when it is determined that the upper rank has not been won, the process proceeds to step S287.
In step S286, “7” is set as the upper rank. Then, the process proceeds to step S287.
The battle end process of step S287 is a process shown in FIG. 47, and is a process of updating the number of talks and the main game state when one set of AT ends. After this battle end processing, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the entire stop processing of the main gaming state 12 in step S128 in FIG.
In this process, a battle end process is executed in step S291, and the process according to this flowchart ends.
As described above, the main game state 12 is a main game state composed of one game executed after the main game state 14 or 15 (1BB game) ends. In the all stop processing in the main gaming state 12, a battle end processing is executed as in step S287 of FIG. By this processing, the number-of-story counter is set to “+1”. Therefore, when 1BB is won in the middle of the main game state 2 (AT), the state is shifted to the main game state 14 or 15, and when the 1BB game is completed and the state is shifted to the main game state 12, the talk number counter is updated. You. Further, the main game state is also updated.
In the battle ending process, an effect of transitioning to the main game state 2, that is, the AT (AT introduction effect) and the like are output, except for the case of transition to the main game state 16.

FIG. 42A is a flowchart showing the entire stop processing of the main game state 13 in step S129 in FIG. FIG. 42 (b) is a diagram showing a numerical table in the precursor correction lottery in step S307 of FIG. 42 (a).
As shown in FIG. 20, the main game state 13 is a main game state when the player wins 1BB without a setting difference in a non-advantaged section and starts 1BB operation (advantageous section type 2).
In FIG. 42A, first, in step S301, it is determined whether the 1BB operation has been completed. When it is determined that the operation of 1BB has not been completed, the processing according to this flowchart ends. When it is determined that the operation of 1BB has been completed, the process proceeds to step S302. That is, the processing after step S302 is processing in the 1BB operation end game (final game in the main game state 13).

In step S302, main game state 1 is set.
In the next step S303, it is determined whether or not the CZ rank exceeds “0”. When it is determined that the CZ rank exceeds “0”, the process proceeds to step S304, and when it is determined that the CZ rank does not exceed “0” (CZ rank “0”), the processing in this flowchart ends.
When it is determined that the CZ rank exceeds “0” and the process proceeds to step S304, it is determined whether the status management counter is “0”. When it is determined that the state management counter is “0”, that is, the number of precursor games is “0”, the process proceeds to step S305, and the main game state “2” is set. This is because when the state management counter is “0”, the state does not shift to the main gaming state 1 (a precursor), but shifts to the main gaming state 2 (AT). At this point, the state management counter becomes “0” when the CZ rank is set to “4” (steps S226 to S28 in FIG. 35). Next, the process proceeds to step S306, where "40" is set in the state management counter. "40" set here is the initial value of the number of games played in the AT1 set. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S304 that the state management counter is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S307. In step S307, a precursor correction lottery is executed.
Here, the sign correction lottery is to perform a lottery for subtracting the number of sign games at the present time. For example, when the number of precursor games at the present time is “10” and “2” is won in the precursor correction lottery, the number of precursor games is updated to “10−2 = 8”.
The precursor correction lottery is executed with the numbers shown in FIG. The expected value of the correction value (decrease value) of the number of predictive games based on this number is about “1.3”.

After executing the precursor correction lottery, the process proceeds to step S308, and it is determined whether or not the lottery result in step S307 is smaller than the state management counter value. If it is determined that the size is smaller, the process proceeds to step S309. If it is determined that the size is not smaller, the process according to the flowchart ends. In step S309, the lottery result is subtracted from the state management counter value. Then, the value is stored in the state management counter.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S307 that the lottery result is equal to or greater than the state management counter value, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

As described above, in the final game of the main game state 13 (1BBB or 1BBC game), it is determined that the CZ rank is “1” or more, that is, the state shifts to AT, and the state management is the number of times of the preceding game. When the counter is not “0”, a lottery for reducing the number of precursor games is executed. As a result, the number of precursor games is changed at random, so that it is possible to make it difficult to estimate the AT notification timing (the precursor end timing).
In addition, when the CZ counter is “0” and the process proceeds to the fake precursor, the number of precursor games is not reduced.

  In the main gaming state 13, a precursor counter addition lottery is executed as a start-time process (FIG. 35), and a precursor correction lottery is executed as an all-stop process. If the number of precursor games is determined in this manner, the number of precursor games can be further diversified, and it can be difficult to estimate the presence or absence of an AT win from the number of precursor games.

FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the main game state 14 all stop processing in step S130 of FIG.
In FIG. 43, in step S321, it is determined whether the 1BB operation has been completed. When it is determined that the 1BB operation has been completed, the process proceeds to step S322, and when it is determined that the 1BB operation has not been completed, the process according to this flowchart ends.
In step S322, the main game state 12 is set. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.
Therefore, since the main game state 12 is set in the final game of the main game state 14, the next game is a game in the main game state 12.

FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing the main game state 15 all stop processing in step S131 of FIG.
In FIG. 44, in step S331, it is determined whether the 1BB operation has been completed. When it is determined that the 1BB operation has been completed, the process proceeds to step S332, and when it is determined that the 1BB operation has not been completed, the process according to this flowchart is completed.
In step S332, the main game state 12 is set. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.
Therefore, since the main game state 12 is set in the final game of the main game state 15, the next game is a game in the main game state 12.

FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing the continuous lottery processing (continuous lottery processing executed in the last game of one set AT) in step S195 of FIG. FIG. 46 is a diagram illustrating a numerical table when executing an individual continuous lottery and a common continuous lottery in the continuous lottery process.
First, in step S341, “0” is set to the comparison value A. The comparison value A and a later-described comparison value B are stored in a predetermined area of the RWM 53 or are stored in a predetermined register.
Next, the process proceeds to step S442, and it is determined whether or not the condition device to be subjected to the individual continuous lottery has been operated. Here, as shown in FIG. 46, the condition devices to be subjected to the individual continuous lottery are 2BB, SB, small win A, small win B, small win C, small win D, small win E, and 2BB game. Replay D and SB. When it is determined that these condition devices have been activated, the process proceeds to step S343, and when it is determined that they have not been activated, the process proceeds to step S345.

  In step 343, an individual continuous lottery is performed. The individual continuous lottery is executed at the winning probability in the number table shown in FIG. 46 according to the operated condition device. For example, when the small role A is won, the player wins “1” with a probability of “32/256”. Next, the process proceeds to step S344, in which the individual lottery result is stored as the comparison value A. For example, when “1” is won in step S344, “1” is stored in the comparison value A.

  In the next step S345, a common continuation lottery is executed. The common continuous lottery is a continuous lottery irrespective of the operating condition device, and is executed based on the CZ rank as shown in FIG. For example, when the CZ rank in the game is “2”, “1” is won with a probability of “154/256”. Next, the process proceeds to step S346, and the common lottery result is stored in the comparison value B. Thereby, the individual continuous lottery result is stored as the comparison value A, and the common continuous lottery result is stored as the comparison value B.

Then, in a next step S347, it is determined whether or not the comparison value A is larger than the comparison value B. When it is determined that the comparison value A is larger than the comparison value B, the process proceeds to step S348, and when it is determined that the comparison value A is not larger than the comparison value B, the process proceeds to step S349.
In step S348, the comparison value A is set in the continuous lottery result. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends. On the other hand, in step S349, the comparison value B is set in the continuous lottery result. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

By the above processing, when the individual continuous lottery result (comparison value A) based on the condition device is larger than the common continuous lottery result (comparison value B) not based on the condition device, the comparison value A is selected as the continuous lottery result. You. On the other hand, when the individual continuous lottery result (comparison value A) based on the condition device is equal to or smaller than the common continuous lottery result (comparison value B) not based on the condition device, the comparison value B is selected as the continuous lottery result.
Therefore, even if the condition device does not operate (even if the winning number corresponding to the condition device in which the individual continuous lottery is executed is not won), the continuous lottery is executed. When the condition device in which the individual continuous lottery is executed operates, the individual continuous lottery is executed in addition to the common continuous lottery. When the result of the individual continuous lottery is equal to or less than the common continuous lottery result, the common continuous lottery result is selected, and there is no disadvantage due to the execution of the individual continuous lottery. Furthermore, when the condition device in which the individual continuous lottery is executed operates and the individual continuous lottery is executed, the final continuous lottery result does not become less than the common lottery result.
Therefore, if the individual continuous lottery is executed, it becomes more advantageous for the player, and even if the individual lottery result is not executed, there is no disadvantage for the player.
Then, when the continuous lottery result stored (selected) in the continuous lottery process is “0”, it is determined that the winning is not made in step S196 of FIG. 33, and when the continuous lottery result is “1”, FIG. Is determined to be a winning in step S196.

FIG. 47 is a flowchart showing the battle end processing in step S287 of FIG. 40 or step S291 of FIG.
First, in step S361, the number of talks counter is incremented by "1". Next, the process proceeds to step S362, where it is determined whether or not the number-of-story counter has reached “22”. When it is determined that the talk number counter is “22”, the process proceeds to step S363, and when it is determined that the talk number counter has not reached “22”, the process proceeds to step S364.
In step S363, "16" is set as the main gaming state. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

  On the other hand, in step S364, “2” is set as the main game state. Until then, the main gaming state 2 is maintained. Next, the process proceeds to step S365, where "40" is set in the state management counter. This value corresponds to the initial value of the number of games in one set AT. Next, the process proceeds to step S366, where "0" is set to the continuation counter. This is processing for clearing the continuation counter to "0" before the start of one set AT. Then, the processing according to this flowchart ends.

Subsequently, the relationship between the ending effect, the AT, and the 1BB operation and the effect will be described.
During the output of the ending effect, the advantageous section and the AT are being performed.
FIGS. 48 to 50 are time charts for explaining the effect contents during the AT and the BB game, and show patterns 0 (FIG. 48) to 5 (FIG. 50).
48 to 50, BB1 indicates a BB with a setting difference, which corresponds to 1BBA in the present embodiment. BB2 indicates BB without a setting difference, and corresponds to 1BBB and 1BBC of the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, when the number-of-story counter reaches “22” and shifts to the main game state 16, the remaining number of games in the AT (advantage section) is “88” (advantage section clear counter = “88”). When it becomes, an ending effect is output. This ending effect is output in preference to the effect during the 1BB game.
In addition, as an effect during the 1BB game, a BB1 effect and a BB2 effect are provided.
The BB1 effect is equivalent to an effect during the 1BBA (1BB with a setting difference) game, and is an effect when the additional effect of the number of AT games is not performed. Display an image to be explained.
On the other hand, the BB2 effect is an effect in which an additional effect can be executed in the number of AT games, and is equivalent to an effect during the 1BBB or 1BBC (1BB without setting difference) game. For example, when the condition device to be added is activated, whether or not the condition device is added, the number of added items when the item is added, and the like are displayed as images.

In FIG. 48, pattern 0 shows an example in which a BB (any one of 1BBA to 1BBC) is won during the ending effect, and the 1BB game ends during the ending effect. As described above, after shifting to the main game state 16, the main game state 16 is maintained during the 1BB game, and the ending effect is continued. In addition, when 1BB is won during the ending effect, the player is notified of the fact that 1BB has been won and the symbol combination corresponding to the won 1BB.
In addition, the final game of the ending effect or the AT end effect is executed for several games retroactively from the final game.
After the AT end effect, the process shifts to the non-advantaged section (normal section), and is switched to the normal effect.

  Pattern 1 in FIG. 48 shows an example in which BB2 (BB with no setting difference) is won during the ending effect, but the BB2 game based on BB2 continues even after the advantageous section and the end of the AT. When the player wins BB2 during the ending effect, the player is notified of the fact that the player has won BB2 and the symbol combination corresponding to the selected player BB2, as described above. And even if the BB2 game is started, the ending effect is continued.

The ending effect continues until the number of games in the advantageous section continues to "1500" (the advantageous section clear counter = "0"), and after the AT and the advantageous section end (after the ending effect ends), the game is switched to the BB1 game effect. Here, even if the player wins BB2 during the ending effect, a BB1 game effect is output because no additional lottery or the like is executed during the BB2 game.
Then, near the end of the BB1 game effect (BB2 game), an AT end effect is executed. At this point, the AT has already been actually ended, but the ending effect is not performed during the BB2 game, which is the end of the ending effect, and the AT end effect is not executed. Since it is preferable to execute the AT end effect as a flow of the effect, the effect is controlled as in Pattern 1.

  Pattern 2 in FIG. 49 is an example in which BB2 is won during the ending effect, but BB2 wins after the ending effect (the advantageous section and the AT) ends, and the BB2 game is executed. In the present embodiment, when the BB is won during the AT and the ending effect, even if the BB wins after the end of the ending effect, the BB game is the BB game during the AT. For this reason, if the BB is won before the end of the AT and the ending effect ends, but the BB has not won a prize at the end of the AT, the BB2 winning effect is output. The BB2 winning confirmation effect is, for example, an effect of notifying the player of the symbol combination of the winning BB2. Then, when the BB2 wins and shifts to the BB2 game, the effect in the BB2 game becomes the BB1 game effect as in the case of executing the BB game during the ending effect.

When the player notices the BB2 winning during the ending effect, the player does not intentionally win the BB2 until the end of the ending effect, and when the player finishes the ending effect (the advantageous section and the AT), the player wins the BB2. This is because it is not preferable that an advantageous lottery or the like is executed.
Therefore, when the game that has won BB2 is in the ending effect, the lottery for AT is not performed. On the other hand, when BB2 is won during the normal section after the end of the ending effect, it goes without saying that the section is shifted to the advantageous section again.
In the example of the pattern 2, the BB1 game effect is switched to the AT end effect in the last game of the BB2 game or several games just before the end. Further, when the BB2 game ends, the game is switched from the next game to the normal effect.

Pattern 3 in FIG. 49 shows an example in which the number of games in the advantageous section reaches the maximum number of continuous games (1500 games) without outputting an ending effect (before the number of talks counter becomes “22”). I have. For example, when the number of games added during the AT is large, the number of games in the advantageous section may become "1500" before the number of talks counter reaches "22".
Pattern 3 shows a case where BB2 is won before the advantageous section clear counter reaches “0” and the number of games in the advantageous section reaches “1500” during the BB2 game. As described above, when the ending effect is not being performed, when the game shifts to the BB2 game based on the winning of the BB2, the BB2 game effect is output. However, since the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is small, the additional lottery is not executed during the BB2 game. As control in such an example, for example, an advantageous section clear counter at the start of the BB2 game is determined, and if the value is equal to or less than a predetermined value, control is performed so as not to execute an additional lottery in the number of AT games in the BB2 game. No.

It is also possible to continue outputting the BB2 game effect from the start of the BB2 game, and to switch to the BB1 game effect after the end of the advantageous section (and AT). However, from the flow of the effect, it is preferable to continue the BB2 game effect.
Then, just before the end of the BB2 game, the AT end effect is output in the same manner as in the patterns 0 to 2, and after the BB2 game is ended, the AT is switched to the normal effect.

Pattern 4 in FIG. 50 is an example in which BB2 is won during the AT and the advantageous section, but BB2 wins after the AT and the advantageous section ends, and the BB2 game is executed. As described above, although BB2 is won during the AT, even if the BB2 is won and the BB2 game is executed after the end of the AT, the lottery regarding the AT is not executed in the BB2 game. Therefore, during the BB2 game, the BB1 game effect is executed.
Further, in the example of the pattern 4, an example is shown in which the player wins BB2 during the AT, outputs a BB2 winning confirmation effect within the game or within several games, and ends the AT during the BB2 winning confirmation effect. In such a case, the BB2 winning confirmation effect is output until the BB2 wins, and when the BB2 wins, the game is switched to the BB1 game effect. Further, an AT end effect is output from the last game of the BB2 game or several games before the final game. When the BB2 game ends, the game is switched from the next game to the normal effect. In this way, it is possible to output an AT end effect without making the effect continuity unnatural.

Pattern 5 in FIG. 50 is a diagram showing an example when BB2 is won in the main game state 16 and the game shifts to the BB2 game. In the present embodiment, after shifting to the main gaming state 16, the main gaming state is maintained without shifting to the main gaming state regardless of which 1BB is won. In this case, when BB2 is won and the BB2 game is executed, the BB1 game effect is executed as the effect corresponding to the BB2 game. In the main game state 16, since it is determined that the game is executed up to 1500 times, which is the upper limit number of continuation of the advantageous section (and AT), the number of AT games is not added and the BB2 game effect is not output.
When the BB2 game ends, the game is switched to the AT effect again. When the output condition of the ending effect is satisfied, the ending effect is switched to the ending effect.
When switching from the AT effect to the ending effect, an ending introduction effect may be output for one to several games.

<Second embodiment>
FIG. 52 (a) is a flowchart showing the continuous lottery process in the second embodiment, and FIG. 52 (b) is a diagram showing a condition device and a number table in the continuous lottery process. FIG. 52A is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 45 in the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, the lottery result of the comparison value A and the lottery result of the comparison value B are obtained, and the two are compared to determine the lottery result. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the lottery result is determined by one continuous lottery. As described above, the continuous lottery of the present invention is not limited to a plurality of lotteries as in the first embodiment.

In FIG. 52A, in step S381, "1" is set as the lottery number. Next, the process proceeds to step S342, in which it is determined whether or not the condition device targeted for the lottery in the game has been operated. As shown in FIG. 52 (b), the condition devices to be drawn are 2BB (2BBA to 2BBC), small win C (strong cherry), small win D (weak cherry), and small win E (watermelon A). is there.
When it is determined that the condition device is operating, the process proceeds to step S383, and when it is determined that the condition device is not operating, the process proceeds to step S384.
In step S383, a lottery number corresponding to the operating condition device is set. As shown in FIG. 52B, for example, "3" is set when the small win C is activated, and "2" is set when the small win D is activated.

  In the next step S384, a continuous lottery is executed. Here, the lottery based on the number table is executed according to the lottery number. For example, when the small win C is activated, the lottery number is “3”, so that a lottery for selecting “1” with a probability of “256/256” is executed. In addition, when the condition device is not operating in the game, based on the lottery number “1” set in step S381, “1” with a probability of “32/256” (“24” with a probability of “224/256”) 0 ”). Then, the process proceeds to step S385, and the continuous lottery result (“0” or “1”) is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RWM 53.

If the continuous lottery is performed as described above, a continuous lottery (common continuous lottery) can be received even in a game that is not operated with a specific condition device (for example, a game that has not been won for a role), and it is also possible to win in the continuous lottery. It becomes possible. Further, in the game when the specific condition device is activated, the continuous lottery can be received under more advantageous conditions than in the game when the specific condition device is not activated.
Then, the continuous lottery result determined by the lottery can be immediately stored in the RWM 53 without comparing the continuous lottery result as in the first embodiment, so that the program is simplified and the processing time is shortened. Can be.

<Third embodiment>
FIG. 53 is a diagram illustrating the small winning combination winning control during the 2BB operation in the third embodiment. FIG. 53 (a) is a symbol combination of the small winning combinations 01 to 02 in the third embodiment, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the winning percentage of the small role for every order.
Note that FIG. 53 shows only the minimum small wins for explaining the control during the 2BB operation, but other small wins and replays according to the third embodiment are set differently from the first embodiment. .
In the first embodiment, in the situation of the winning ALL during the operation of the 2BB, either “PB = 1” and either the small role of the high eye (13) or the small role of the small eye (12) are made to win. . On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the small wins that can be won during the 2BB operation are the small wins 01 or 02, and each of the small wins is 13. Then, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so as to have a case where the small win 01 or 02 is missed.

First, in the pushing order 123 (middle left), at the left first stop, “watermelon A” is given first priority, and when “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the activated line, “watermelon A” is given second priority. Stop the "bell" on the active line. At the time of the first stop on the left, the rate at which "watermelon A" or "bell" stops on the active line is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
It is.

At the time of the middle stop after the first left stop, control is performed so that “watermelon A” is stopped at the activated line. In the first embodiment, the control is performed such that the No. 14 “watermelon B” is stopped at the active line when the 14th “watermelon A” of the middle reel 31 is pressed, but in the third embodiment, There is no small win in which the symbol of the middle reel 31 is “watermelon B” among the small wins 01 and 02. Therefore, when the 14th “watermelon A” of the middle reel 31 is pressed, the “watermelon” "A" is stopped at the active line.
If “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the activated line, either “bell” or “cherry” is stopped at the activated line.

From the above, after the first left stop, the stop symbols on the activated line when the middle reel 31 stops are as follows:
1st Vita: Bell (1st)
No.2 Vita: Watermelon A (No.3)
3rd Vita: Watermelon A (3rd)
4th Vita: Cherry (5th)
5th Vita: Cherry (5th)
6th Vita: Bell (6th)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
9th Vita: Cherry (10th)
10th Vita: Cherry (10th)
11th Vita: Bell (11th)
12th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
13th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
14th Vita: Watermelon A (14th)
15th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 16 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
17th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
18th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
19th Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
0th bita: cherry (0th)
It becomes.

Therefore, after the first left stop, the ratio of symbols stopped on the activated line when the middle reel 31 stops is:
Watermelon A: 9/20
Bell: 5/20
Cherry: 6/20
It becomes.
In addition, at the time of the right stop after the first left stop, when “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” − “rotating”, “watermelon A” is stopped at the activated line.
The percentage in this case is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
It becomes.
On the other hand, when it is not in the stop type of “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” − “rotating” (tempered shape of small role 02), “bell” is stopped on the activated line.
The percentage in this case is
Bell: 20/20
It is.

From the above, the ratio of “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” (small win 02 of the role number “049”) stopping at the active line in the pushing order 123 (left middle right) is as follows.
"15/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 2025/8000
It becomes.
Also, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 01 of the role number "045") stops on the active line is as follows.
"5/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 500/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"watermelon A"-"bell" (small win 01 of the role number "046") stops on the active line is:
"5/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 900/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the rate at which “Bell”-“Cherry”-“Bell” (small win 01 of the hand number “047”) stops at the active line is:
"5/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 600/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the case where the role is missed is, firstly, when “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” − “rotating”, “watermelon A” cannot be stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped. So
"15/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 675/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the case where the role is missed is, secondly, in the case of “watermelon A”-“rotating”-“rotating”, when “watermelon A” cannot be stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped. So
"15/20" (left) x "11/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 3300/8000
It becomes.
Therefore,
"675/8000" + "3300/8000"
= 3975/8000
It becomes.
Therefore, in the pushing order of 123 o'clock, almost half of the time is dropped.
Further, the above reel control is the same in the pressing order 132 (middle left and right), and the winning ratio and the dropout ratio of each small win are the same as those in the pressing order 123.

  Next, in the pushing order 213 (middle left and right), at the time of the middle first stop, “watermelon A” is given first priority, and when “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the activated line, “watermelon A” is given second priority. "Bell", "Cherry" or "Replay A" is stopped at the active line. Here, at the time of the first stop in the middle, “watermelon A” can be stopped at the active line only when the bitter is pushed.

Therefore, the stop symbol on the active line at the time of the first stop in the middle,
1st Vita: Bell (1st)
2nd bita: Replay A (2nd)
3rd Vita: Watermelon A (3rd)
4th Vita: Cherry (5th)
5th Vita: Cherry (5th)
6th Vita: Bell (6th)
7th Vita: Replay A (7th)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
9th Vita: Cherry (10th)
10th Vita: Cherry (10th)
11th Vita: Bell (11th)
12th Vita: Replay A (12th)
13th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
14th Vita: Watermelon A (14th)
15th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 16 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
17th Vita: Replay A (17th)
18th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
19th Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
0th bita: cherry (0th)
It becomes.
Therefore, the percentage of symbols that stop on the active line is
Watermelon A: 5/20
Bell: 5/20
Cherry: 6/20
Replay A: 4/20
It becomes.

If “watermelon A” can be stopped on the activated line at the time of the first stop in the middle, the control is also performed on the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 so that “watermelon A” is stopped on the activated line. If “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the activated line, control is performed so as to stop “bell” at the activated line.
After stopping "watermelon A" on the activated line at the time of the first stop, the rate at which "watermelon A" can be stopped on the activated line when the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped is:
Watermelon A: 15/20
It is.
If “watermelon A” cannot be stopped, “bell” is stopped (ratio “5/20”).

If “watermelon A” cannot be stopped on the activated line during the first first stop, control is performed such that “bell” is stopped on the activated line when the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped. .
In this case, the rate at which "bell" can be stopped at the active line is
Bell: 20/20
It is.
In addition, at the time of the third right stop after the stop of the left and middle reels 31, if a small combination can be won, the symbol combination of the small combination that can be won is controlled to stop at the activated line.
From the above, the ratio of “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” stopping on the active line at the time of the pushing order 213 (middle left / right) is as follows:
"15/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 1125/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the rate at which “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” (the small role 01 of the role number “045”) stops on the active line is
"20/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2000/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"watermelon A"-"bell" (small win 01 of the role number "046") stops at the active line is as follows.
"5/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 500/8000
It becomes.

Also, the rate at which “Bell”-“Cherry”-“Bell” (the small role 01 of the role number “047”) stops on the active line is
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2400/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Replay A"-"Bell" (the small role 01 of the role number "048") stops at the active line is as follows:
"20/20" (left) x "4/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 1600/8000
It becomes.

Further, the case of missing the role is, firstly, in the case of "watermelon A"-"watermelon A"-"rotating", when "watermelon A" cannot be stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped. ,
"15/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 375/8000
It becomes.
Therefore, at 213 o'clock in the pushing order, small roles are missed at a ratio of “375/8000”.
The above reel control is the same for the pressing order 231 (middle right left), and the winning ratio and the dropout ratio of each small win are the same as the pressing order 213.

Next, in the push order 321 (right middle left), at the first right stop, “watermelon A” is given first priority. When “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the activated line, second priority is given. Stop the "bell" on the active line. Therefore, at the first stop on the left, the ratio of “watermelon A” or “bell” stopping on the active line is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
It is.

After stopping "watermelon A" at the first stop on the right side, control is performed so as to stop "watermelon A" at the activated line at the middle second stop. As in the case of the first stop on the left, “watermelon A” can be stopped only at the time of pressing a bita or moving one symbol, and when “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the active line, “bell” or “cherry” Is stopped at the active line.
From the above, after the right first stop (watermelon A), the stop symbol on the activated line when the middle reel 31 stops is:
1st Vita: Bell (1st)
No.2 Vita: Watermelon A (No.3)
3rd Vita: Watermelon A (3rd)
4th Vita: Cherry (5th)
5th Vita: Cherry (5th)
6th Vita: Bell (6th)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
9th Vita: Cherry (10th)
10th Vita: Cherry (10th)
11th Vita: Bell (11th)
12th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
13th Vita: Watermelon A (13th)
14th Vita: Watermelon A (14th)
15th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 16 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
17th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
18th Vita: Watermelon A (18th)
19th Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
0th bita: cherry (0th)
It becomes.
Therefore, the percentage of symbols that stop on the active line is
Watermelon A: 9/20
Bell: 5/20
Cherry: 6/20
It becomes.

Further, at the time of the left stop after the first right stop, “watermelon A” is stopped at the active line. When “watermelon A” cannot be stopped at the active line, “bell” is stopped at the active line.
The percentage in this case is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
It is.
In addition, when the “rotating”-“watermelon A”-“watermelon A” is not in the stopped form (tempered form of the small part 02), the “bell” is stopped on the activated line. The percentage in this case is
Bell: 20/20
It is.

From the above, the ratio of “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” − “watermelon A” stopping on the active line at the time of the pushing order 321 (right middle left) is as follows.
"15/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 2025/8000
It becomes.
Also, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 01 of the role number "045") stops on the active line is as follows.
"20/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 500/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"watermelon A"-"bell" (small win 01 of the role number "046") stops on the active line is:
"20/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 900/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the rate at which “Bell”-“Cherry”-“Bell” (small win 01 of the hand number “047”) stops at the active line is:
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 600/8000
It becomes.
Furthermore, the case where the role is missed is, first, when “watermelon A” cannot be stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped in the case of “rotating” — “watermelon A” — “watermelon A”. So
"5/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 675/8000
It becomes.

Furthermore, the case where the role is missed is, secondly, in the case of "rotating"-"rotating"-"watermelon A", when "watermelon A" cannot be stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped. So
"20/20" (left) x "11/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 3300/8000
It becomes.
Therefore, the percentage of missing roles is
"675/8000" + "3300/8000"
= 3975/8000
It becomes.
Therefore, at the time of the push order 321, the data is dropped at almost half the rate.
The above reel control is the same in the pressing order 312 (right and left), and the winning ratio and the dropout ratio of each small role are the same as those in the pressing order 321.

As described above, in the third embodiment, a small portion may be missed (no payout) at a predetermined rate during the winning ALL during the 2BB operation.
At the first stop on the left or right, the small role is missed at about half the rate, but at the middle first stop, the small role is missed only at the rate of "375/8000".
Therefore, it is most advantageous for the player to complete the game at the middle first stop during at least the 2BB operation. Furthermore, if the eye pressing is correct, thirteen cards can be reliably won, and the role is not missed.
In the first embodiment as well, the middle and left and right pushing orders are the most advantageous to the player, and the thirteen cards can be reliably won if the eyes are accurately pressed.

<Fourth embodiment>
The fourth embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, in the main game state 0 (during the 2BB game), the winning number “4” is won, and when the replay D or SB condition device operates, the CZ rank addition lottery process is executed (FIG. 27). , FIG. 31). That is, when the SB operation is excluded, during the 2BB game, when the condition device of the replay D operates, the lottery regarding the AT is executed and the 2BB game is extended.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, the CZ rank addition lottery (AT lottery) is not performed during the 2BB game, and the CZ rank addition lottery (AT lottery) is completed at the end of the 2BB game (at the end of the main game state 0). ).

FIG. 54 is a diagram illustrating the numbers set in the CZ rank addition lottery at the end of the 2BB game in the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of games during the 2BB game. Then, as shown in FIG. 54, the larger the total number of games of the 2BB game, the easier it is to win “1” or more in the CZ rank addition lottery, and the easier it is to win the higher CZ rank.
In the first embodiment, during the 2BB game, the CZ rank lottery is performed only when the replay D or SB condition device is activated. For this reason, for example, at the time of the replay C operation, although the condition device can be expected for the CZ rank addition lottery of the next game, the CZ rank addition lottery cannot be received.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, when the condition device of the replay C operates, the number of games of the 2BB game increases, which is advantageous for the CZ rank addition lottery. For example, in the 2BB game, if the replay C condition device is operated for four games in a row, even if the replay D condition device has never been operated, “3” or more (AT win) is determined by the CZ rank addition lottery. I do.

In the first embodiment, since the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the operation of the condition device in the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed at the time of the operation of the replay D having no setting difference, and the replay having the setting difference is performed. During the operation of C, the CZ rank addition lottery process was not executed.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of games of the 2BB game. Therefore, even if the condition device of the replay C operates during the 2BB game, it is advantageous in the CZ rank addition lottery. Become.
Therefore, the winning number “3” (replay C) has a setting difference, and the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability. Therefore, the higher the setting, the more easily the 2BB game is continued. That is, the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability of the CZ rank addition lottery (lottery regarding AT).
Here, in the fourth embodiment, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of games of the 2BB game. For example, only the number of times of operation of the condition device of replay C, only the number of times of operation of condition device of replay D, or The CZ rank addition lottery may be executed based on the total value of the operation times of the condition devices of the replays C and D (the CZ rank addition lottery may not be executed only with the winning ALL).

Further, in the fourth embodiment, the reel stop control at the time of operating the condition device of replay C and the operation of the reel device at the time of operating the condition device of replay D are the same. Therefore, the replay 05 wins a prize regardless of the operation of the condition device of any replay. Therefore, from the player's point of view, it is not possible to know which replay condition device has been activated by only the type of the winning replay.
In such a case, for example, even when the CZ rank lottery is performed only by the number of times of the operation of the condition device of the replay D, the player cannot know whether or not the condition device of the replay D is operating. Can not guess.
In particular, the replay C of the winning number “3” has a setting difference, but it cannot be determined from the winning replay whether or not the condition device of the replay C is operating, so that the setting value cannot be estimated.

In addition, in the 2BB game, when performing the CZ rank addition lottery based on the total value of the number of times of operation of the condition devices of replay C and D, the number of times of operation of the condition device of replay C and the number of times of operation of condition device of replay D Thus, instead of simply calculating the total, the total may be calculated so as to favor the number of times of operation of the condition device of the replay D, for example.
Specifically, when the number of times of operation of the condition device of replay C is x and the number of times of operation of the condition device of replay D is y,
"X + 2xy"
May be calculated, and this value may be used as the total number of games, and the CZ rank addition lottery may be executed with the numbers shown in FIG.

Further, the CZ rank addition lottery is not limited to being executed only at the end of the 2BB game, but the CZ rank addition lottery may be executed for each game based on the number table of FIG.
For example, in the first game, in FIG. 54, a lottery is performed with the number of “total number of times of game”, and when the second game is executed, a lottery is performed with the number of “total number of times of game 2”. Do. Then, at the end of the 2BB operation, the total value in the CZ rank addition lottery may be set to the CZ rank (when the CZ rank exceeds “4”, it is set to “4”).
In addition, when performing each game lottery, if “1” or more is won in the CZ rank addition lottery (when the AT is won), the stock of the AT set, the number of AT games added, It is also possible to switch to bonus lottery and additional specialization zones.

In the first embodiment, the end condition of the 2BB game is set to obtain more than one medal. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at least a plurality of small wins may be set to obtain the number of winable prizes. In this case, the CZ rank addition lottery (lottery regarding AT) can be executed based on the total number of 2BB games, the number of consecutive replays, the cumulative number of replays, and the like.
On the other hand, as in the first embodiment, if the setting is made so that the 2BB game can be completed in one game and the 2BB game is completed with a small number of games, the setting discrimination can be made difficult.

<Irregular stop processing>
Next, a description will be given of a process performed when the symbol combination assumed on the main control board 50 does not stop on the activated line during the stop control of the reel 31 (at an irregular stop).
The reel control means 65 of the main control board 50 controls the drive of the motor (stepping motor) 32 based on the result of the lottery of the role by the lottery means 61 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the role is stopped on the active line. Then, the reel 31 is stopped at a predetermined position. Therefore, normally, the stop position of the reel 31 always stops at a predetermined position.
However, first, for example, during the stop control of the reel 31, for example, after the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, and before the reel 31 is stopped at the final position, specifically, while the reel 31 is being decelerated, In this case, the power supply for driving the motor 32 is not supplied, and the power supply to the motor 32 may be cut off before the reel 31 stops. In such a case, even if the reel control means 65 controls to stop the reel 31 at a correct position, the correct stop control cannot be performed to the end, and the reel 31 may not stop at a predetermined position.

Secondly, when detecting the operation of the stop switch 42, the reel control unit 65 stops the reel 31 within a range where the maximum number of moving symbols is within 4 symbols except for the middle reel 31 that is operating 2BB, and operates the 2BB. For the middle reel 31, the reel 31 is stopped within a range where the maximum number of moving symbols is within one symbol.
As described above, the reel 31 may be stopped.
On the other hand, when the motor 32 starts (rotation starts) or stops, a slight delay or advance occurs in the motor shaft. This amount varies depending on the pulse speed. However, if the pulse speed is high, the motor 32 cannot follow the pulse speed and may lose synchronism. Thus, there is a possibility that the reel 31 cannot be stopped at a predetermined position.
In addition, there is a possibility that the reel 31 does not stop at a predetermined position due to a failure or malfunction of the motor 32 or the reel 31.

However, when the symbol combination corresponding to the combination is originally stopped on the activated line due to the above-mentioned power interruption or the step-out of the motor 32, etc., when the symbol combination does not stop, the appearance is visually reduced. If the stop position is determined and the medal corresponding to the winning combination is not paid out because the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination does not stop on the activated line, it is disadvantageous for the player.
Therefore, in this embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is operated based on the winning combination and the stop position determination table (further, the pressing order of the stop switch 42), the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the operation timing (design) Number) is internally determined and stored. Here, the reel control means 65 controls the drive of the motor 32 so as to stop the reel 31 at the determined (stored) position.
Then, after all the reels 31 have stopped, based on the stored stop positions (symbol numbers) of the reels 31, the symbol combinations (apparently) that would have stopped (apparently) on the activated line (from the internally determined stop position). A winning determination is made using the determined symbol combination. In other words, the winning combination is not determined by determining the symbol combination based on the reel 31 that is actually stopped.
Then, as a result of the winning determination, in the game in which the small role wins, a medal corresponding to the small role is paid out. In addition, in the game in which the replay is won, a re-game is given (automatic bet processing). In the game in which the special role is won, the special game is set, the special game is started, and the like. In a game that does not win, the payout of medals, the provision of a re-game, and the start processing of a special game are not performed.

For example, when the winning number “1” is won, the condition device of replay A operates in the game. In this case, when the last stop switch 42 is operated (at an operation timing at which the symbol corresponding to replay 01 can be stopped), the symbol combination corresponding to replay 01 is actually displayed on the activated line after all reels 31 are stopped. A winning determination is made using internal data without determining or confirming whether or not the game has stopped. When the last stop switch 42 is operated, it is assumed that the replay 01 has won even if the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 has not stopped, and the medal is automatically inserted after all the reels 31 have stopped. To
Similarly, for example, when the winning number “8” is won in the game and the condition device of the small role A1 is activated in the game, the stop switch 42 is operated by the player in the pressing order of “left center right”, When the last right stop switch 42 is operated (at an operation timing at which the symbol corresponding to the small combination 01 can be stopped), the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 01 is actually displayed on the activated line after all the reels 31 are stopped. The winning determination is performed using the internal data without determining or confirming whether or not the game has stopped. When the right stop switch 42 is operated, it is assumed that the small role 01 has won even if the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 01 apparently has not been stopped. At the time of operation) payout of medals is executed.

In this way, even if an irregular stop occurs, the payout of medals corresponding to the winning combination and the automatic insertion of medals (at the time of replay operation) are performed without giving a disadvantage to the player. It is possible to play the game smoothly.
In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the timing when the player wins, for example, 1BB in the game, 1BB can be won in the game, and the symbol combination corresponding to the 1BB selected by the player stops on the active line. When the last stop switch 42 is operated, there is no internal judgment without checking or checking whether the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB has actually stopped on the activated line after all the reels 31 have stopped. A winning determination is made using the data. When the last stop switch 42 is operated, it is assumed that 1BB has won even if the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB apparently has not stopped, and 1BB is activated after all reels 31 have stopped.
Also, for example, when the last stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which any of the symbol combinations corresponding to the small winning combinations 15 or 16 cannot be stopped in the game having won the winning number “17” (in other words, When the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing when the small wins 15 and 16 do not win), even if the symbol combination corresponding to the small win 15 or 16 actually stops on the activated line after the stop of all the reels 31. No prize has been won and no medal is paid out.
In the above, the last stop operation (third stop operation) has been described as an example. However, even if an irregular stop occurs during the first stop operation or the second stop operation, it is visually similar to the above. Instead, a winning determination is made based on internal data.

When it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination has stopped on the activated line as a result of the winning determination based on the internal data, after stopping all the reels 31, the winning effect of the winning combination (by the effect lamp 21). When a winning combination, a winning sound or payout sound from the speaker 22, a winning effect by the image display device 23, etc. are executed, irregularity occurs, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination does not stop on the active line. Even so, the effect can inform the player internally that the winning has been achieved.
Furthermore, in the final game at the time of the operation of the accessory, an irregularity occurs by executing a freeze effect (a state in which operation of the operation switch is not accepted for a certain period of time) or an effect notifying the end of the operation of the accessory. Even if the symbol combination corresponding to the combination does not stop on the activated line, the player can be notified of the end of the operation of the combination.

  Further, in a game that has not been won for replay in the game, the 3-bet switch (max bet switch) 40b may be turned on after the game is over. For example, even if the player has not won the replay in the game, but the irregularity as described above has occurred and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay has stopped at the active line, the 3 bet switch (max bet) By illuminating the switch 40b, it is possible to inform the player that a bet is possible, that is, that the player will not bet automatically in the game (not a replay winning).

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described contents, and various modifications such as the following are possible.
(1) In the present embodiment, after the end of the main game state 14 or 15, the game shifts to the main game state 12 in which one game is executed, and in this main game state 12, the main game state 2 (or 16) is set, The setting of the state management counter “40” and the like were executed (the battle end processing in FIG. 47).
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these processes are executed as a process for completely stopping the final game in the main game state 14 or 15, and the main game state 14 or 15 is directly provided from the main game state 14 or 15 without providing the main game state 12. The state may shift to state 2 or 16.

However, if the main game state 12 is provided, an AT introduction effect and an AT start effect can be output during the game in the main game state 12.
When the main game state 12 is provided as in the first embodiment, the game is not limited to one game, and a plurality of games may be executed in the main game state 12.
Note that, when the main game state 14 or 15 can be executed at the start of the main game state 14 or the main game state 2 or the processing relating to the main game state 2 or 16 to be executed thereafter, the processing is executed at the start of the main game state 14 or 15. May be.

  (2) In the continuous lottery process of FIG. 45, the individual continuous lottery corresponding to the comparison value A was executed only when the condition device having no setting difference was operated. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and the individual continuous lottery corresponding to the comparison value A may be executed even when the condition device having the set difference is operated. In this case, in FIG. 45, step S341 is eliminated, and for example, when the condition device having the setting difference is operated, the “comparison value A = 0” (that is, the operation of the condition device having the setting difference) has a probability of 100%. In some cases, an individual continuous lottery in which the set number is “0”) is executed. With this configuration, the processing for determining whether or not the condition apparatus is operating with no setting difference can be eliminated, so that the processing load can be reduced.

Similarly, in the second embodiment, the continuous lottery may be executed even when the condition device having the setting difference is operated (the determination in step S382 in FIG. 52 is eliminated).
In addition, in the case where the individual continuous lottery is executed even when the condition device having the setting difference is operated, the individual continuous lottery which is more advantageous than the operation of the condition device having no setting difference is performed, or vice versa. Any of continuous individual lottery which is more disadvantageous than the operation of the condition device having no difference may be performed.

  (3) In FIG. 45, the individual continuous lottery corresponding to the comparison value A may be executed when all of the condition devices having no setting difference are activated, or some condition devices having no setting difference. May be executed at the time of operation.

(4) In FIG. 45, in steps S347 to S349, the comparison value A is compared with the comparison value B, and the larger one is stored as the continuous lottery result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to calculate “comparison value A + comparison value B” and use that value as the continuous lottery result.
In the continuous lottery process of FIG. 45, the larger value of the comparison value A and the comparison value B is set as the continuous lottery result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the smaller value is referred to to determine the continuous lottery result. May be.
Furthermore, if a result extremely advantageous to the player is obtained in the first continuous lottery (in the first embodiment, the individual continuous lottery), the subsequent continuous lottery may not be executed.
Furthermore, in the first embodiment, two lotteries are performed in order to obtain the comparison value A and the comparison value B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more continuous lotteries are executed, and the comparison value A and the comparison value are compared. The value B, the comparison value C,... May be obtained, and the most advantageous result may be adopted.

  (5) In the continuous lottery process of FIG. 45, two choices of “0 = non-continuation” and “1 = continuation” are made. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the continuous lottery result may be set to “0” to “4” like the CZ rank, for example, and may be set to be more advantageous as the value is larger. As “more advantageous”, for example, it is easy to add the number of games during the next one set AT, in the next or subsequent continuous lottery, it is possible to receive a continuous lottery under advantageous conditions, The subsequent continuation may be unconditional continuation without performing a lottery (or executing a continuous lottery with a winning probability of 100%).

(6) The two-stage lottery of the individual continuous lottery and the common continuous lottery in FIG. 45 is not limited to the continuous lottery of the AT, but is, for example, an additional lottery in which the number of AT games is added and an additional number of times the AT game is performed. It can be used in various kinds of lotteries such as a lottery zone, a CZ rank lottery, a CZ rank addition lottery, an upper limit rank lottery, a precursor counter lottery, a precursor correction lottery, other mode lottery, and effect contents lottery.
When used in a production lottery, for example, a lottery (individual lottery) based on a condition device is used for the lottery of the attack content of the enemy character, and a common lottery is used for the lottery of the attack content of the ally character. Another example is that a lottery based on the condition device is used for an attack end lottery, and a common lottery is used for a resurrection lottery when an ally character is defeated.

(7) In the second embodiment (FIG. 52), for example, a lottery number 2 which is an advantageous lottery number is selected in a non-RT or RT1 corresponding to a normal game, and in an RT2 (increase RT), a lottery number 2 is selected. An unfavorable lottery number (for example, lottery number 1) may be selected.
In this way, even if the player has fallen from RT2 to RT1 due to a mistake in the operation of the stop switch 42 by the player during the AT, it is possible to compensate for the disadvantage so that the payout is not disadvantageous.

(8) In the present embodiment, in the processing at the start of the main game state 2 (FIG. 33), the continuous lottery processing (FIG. 45) is executed at the end of one set AT (when the state management counter is “0”). However, the continuous lottery process is not limited to this, and may be executed at any time during an advantageous section (for example, the main gaming state 14 or 15), and may be executed every game in the main gaming state 2 as well.
In the continuous lottery process, an individual continuous lottery based on the condition device and a common lottery process not based on the condition device were executed.
Here, the common lottery process not based on the condition device is not uniformly executed, but is performed, for example, in a game state (RT, main game state, presence / absence of a role actor, AT lottery probability state (for example, high probability), etc.). , Different lotteries may be executed. Alternatively, different lotteries may be executed according to variables related to the AT (CZ rank (AT level or continuation rate), points updated during the AT, parameters, the number of games, etc. Further, the main gaming state and the variables related to the AT) And different common continuation lotteries may be executed based on both.

  (9) In FIGS. 48 and 49, when the output condition of the ending effect is satisfied (when the advantageous section clear counter becomes “88”), the ending effect is output. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the time of transition from the AT effect to the ending effect, an effect during ending preparation may be provided in about 1 to 10 games. During the ending preparation effect, the additional effect or the continuous effect output based on the operation of the condition device is not performed (or limited).

(10) In the first embodiment, replays (replays C and D) are drawn by lot during a 2BB game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Replays may not be drawn by lot during a 2BB game.
Also in the third embodiment, it is optional whether or not to select a replay during the 2BB game.
In the third embodiment, when the lottery of the replay (replay C and D) is executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the replay 05 is won with “PB = 1” when the condition device of the replay C or D is activated. Can be.
Further, in the first or third embodiment, when a replay is drawn during a 2BB game and a replay is won, any of the small wins may be won without winning the replay.

(11) In the first embodiment, in the situation of the winning ALL during the operation of the 2BB, the higher winning combination of 13 or the lower winning score of 12 is designed to win, but the payout number of these is May be set. However, it is assumed that “the number of payouts of the higher-order small portion> the number of payouts of the lower-order small portion”.
Further, it is preferable that the number of payouts of the higher-lower wins is the maximum payout number X at the time of winning the small win in the gaming machine, and the number of payouts of the lower-lower wins is "X-1". This is because the loss of the player can be set to a minimum even when the small part of the hand wins by the operation timing and / or the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

(12) In the third embodiment, the number of payouts of the small wins 01 and 02 is set to 13 under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to set the small combination 01 to 13 sheets and the small combination 02 to 12 sheets. Conversely, it is also possible to set the small combination 01 to 12 sheets and the small combination 02 to 13 sheets.
Further, as in the third embodiment, it may be set so as to have a case where the small win is missed in any order of pressing. For example, in the specific pressing order, the small win wins with "PB = 1" and the specific pressing is performed. In a pressing order other than the order, the small combination may be set to “PB ≠ 1”.

  Furthermore, when the symbol combination of “PB ≠ 1” is provided in the situation of the winning ALL during the operation of 2BB, a method of setting only some of the reels 31 to the symbol arrangement and the number of moving symbols of “PB ≠ 1”. And a method of setting all reels 31 to the symbol arrangement of “PB ≠ 1” and the number of moving symbols. If all the reels 31 are set to “PB ≠ 1”, a case where the small role is missed can be provided even if the stop switch 42 is operated in any order.

(13) In the first embodiment, in the situation of the winning ALL during the operation of the 2BB, a plurality of types of the symbol combination of the small winning combination and the small winning combination are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one of the symbol combination of the small key combination or the small combination may be one type.
Similarly, in the third embodiment, under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, the symbol combination of the small win 02 is one type. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of symbol combinations of the small role 02 may be provided. If a plurality of symbol combinations of the small combination 02 are provided, the variation of stop appearances can be increased.

Here, in the situation of the winning ALL during the operation of the 2BB, if there is only one type of symbol combination of the small winning combination, the small winning winning combination, and the small winning combination with the possibility of being missed, these small winning combinations are handled. It becomes easy for the player to recognize that the symbols constituting the symbol combination are being controlled to be pulled in.
On the other hand, if there are a plurality of types of symbol combinations having the possibility of a small role of a high role, a small role of the eye and a small role having a possibility of being overlooked, the symbols constituting the symbol combinations corresponding to these small roles are controlled to be pulled in. This makes it difficult for the player to recognize this, and the technical intervention based on the player's knowledge can be enhanced. That is, under the situation of the winning alliance during the operation of the 2BB, there is an advantage in each of a single combination and a plurality of combinations of small winning combinations.

(14) In this embodiment, the specified number (the number of inserted medals) is set to two during the 2BB operation. Here, if the specified number is set to three, the disadvantage that the player receives when the small role is missed increases, so that either the high-order minor role or the small-scale minor role is changed as in the first embodiment. It is possible to set a prize that can be awarded and that no prize is missed. It should be noted that if the specified number during the 2BB operation is set to three, and a setting is made so as to have a dropout, a gaming machine with higher technical intervention can be provided.
On the other hand, during the 2BB operation, in the case where the small hand is missed, if the specified number is set to one, even if the small hand is missed, the disadvantage to the player is minimized. Can be

(15) In the 2BB game, the reels having the maximum number of moving symbols of 4 symbols (stop within 190 ms) are the left and right reels 31, and the reel having the maximum number of symbols of 1 symbol (stop within 75 ms) is the middle reel. 31. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any of the reels having the maximum number of moving symbols of one symbol (stop within 75 ms) may be any one of the reels 31, and may be two or three reels 31.
Also, in the example of FIG. 51 of the first embodiment, the winning rate of the highest small role is highest in the pushing order 213, and in the example of FIG. Prize rate has been increased. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is generally considered that the player plays the game with the left first stop (forward push) most often. Therefore, for example, the maximum moving symbol number is one symbol (stop within 75 ms). Is set as the left reel 31 and the winning rate of the highest small role is the highest at the first left stop or the probability of being missed is set to be the lowest, so that even beginners are less likely to lose money Machine.

(16) In this embodiment, 1BB having a setting difference is 1BBA (one type), and 1BB having no setting difference is 1BBB and 1BBC (two types). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of types of 1BB having a setting difference may be provided, and a type of 1BB having no setting difference may be provided.
Similarly, in the present embodiment, three types of 2BB having no setting difference are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and one type may be used. Further, one kind or two or more kinds of 2BB having a setting difference may be provided.

(17) In the present embodiment, a slot machine has been described as an example of one of the gaming machines. However, the present invention can be applied to, for example, a casino machine and an enclosed gaming machine (medalless gaming machine).
Here, the enclosed gaming machine (medalless gaming machine) can eliminate the medal payout device (unit including the hopper 35, the hopper motor 36, and the payout sensor 37) in FIG. 1, for example. Further, the medal insertion slot 43 and the medal selector can be made unnecessary. Then, all the electronic medals (electronic game media) given by the winning of the combination are stored in the stored number display LED 76. In this case, it is conceivable that the stored number display LED 76 is composed of, for example, five digits (a maximum of “99,999” electronic medals can be stored).
(18) The counter value, the set number, and the like shown in the present embodiment are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

<Appendix>

However, the invention described in this specification does not mean that the invention is initially limited to inventions 1 to 10.

1. Initial invention 1
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 1 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that can execute a process related to the notification game (AT) even when a special combination having a setting difference is won.
In a conventional gaming machine, when a special role having a setting difference (the winning probability of at least one setting value is different from the winning probability of another at least one setting value) is won, based on the winning of the special role, The transition to the advantageous section cannot be made. Therefore, it is not possible to execute a lottery or the like regarding the AT by winning the special role (for example, see FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 of Japanese Patent No. 612524).
As described above, in the conventional gaming machine, when the special role having the setting difference is won, the advantageous section and the AT cannot be given. Therefore, when the special role having the setting difference is won, the player is discouraged. There is a problem.
A problem to be solved by the invention at first is to enable a player to be provided with a profit even when a special role having a setting difference is won.

(B) Means for solving the problem of Invention 1 initially (corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses).
The original invention was
A lottery of a role including a special role (1BB) for shifting to a special game (1BB game) can be executed (role lottery means 61),
As the special combination, at least a first special combination (1BBB, 1BBC) having the same winning probability in all set values and a second special combination (1BBA) having different winning probabilities in at least some set values. ,
When the first special role is won and the game shifts to a special game (1BBB game or 1BBC game), the operation information of the stop switch (42) which is advantageous to the player in the special game is notified (the order of correct answer). It is possible to execute processing relating to the notification game (AT) (additional lottery processing in step S421 in FIG. 37),
When the second special role wins and shifts to the special game (1BBA game), the special game does not execute the processing related to the notification game,
The game section has a normal section (non-advantaged section) in which the notification game cannot be executed and an advantageous section in which the notification game can be executed,
When the first special role is won during the advantageous section and the game is shifted to the special game, a predetermined process (the process in the main game state 12) can be executed after the end of the special game,
When the second special role wins during the advantageous section and shifts to the special game, after the special game ends, the predetermined processing can be executed,
In the predetermined processing, specific processing relating to the notification game (processing of setting the main game state 2 or 16 and setting of the state management counter “40”. Steps S363, S364, and S365 in FIGS. 41 and 47). ) Is performed.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 1 According to the initial invention, a predetermined process is executed after the end of the special game, regardless of whether the first special role or the second special role is won during the advantageous section. In the predetermined process, a specific process related to the notification game is executed. Therefore, even when the second special role having a setting difference is won, the player can be profited through the predetermined process and the specific process. Can be provided.

2. Initial invention 2
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 2 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that can execute a process related to the notification game (AT) even when a special combination having a setting difference is won.
In a conventional gaming machine, when a special role having a setting difference (the winning probability of at least one setting value is different from the winning probability of another at least one setting value) is won, based on the winning of the special role, The transition to the advantageous section cannot be made. Therefore, it is not possible to execute a lottery or the like regarding the AT by winning the special role (for example, see FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 of Japanese Patent No. 612524).
In a conventional gaming machine, an advantageous section and an AT cannot be assigned based on the winning of a combination having a setting difference. There is a problem that expectations cannot be given to the elderly.
The problem to be solved by the invention at the beginning is to make it possible to give a profit to a player even when a role having a setting difference is won.

(B) Means for solving the problem of Invention 2 initially (corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses).
The original invention was
Role lottery means (61) for performing a role lottery,
Notification game execution means for executing a notification game (AT) for notifying the operation information (the correct answer pressing order) of the stop switch (42) which is advantageous to the player,
In a predetermined game (game for executing a continuous lottery process), a first lottery (individual continuous lottery) based on the lottery result of the role lottery means and a second lottery (common) based on the lottery result of the role lottery means Continuation lottery) and
Based on either one of the first lottery result (comparison value A) and the second lottery result (comparison value B), a predetermined determination regarding the notification game (for the continuous lottery of the AT) It is characterized in that it is determined whether or not a winning has been achieved (step S196 in FIG. 33).

(C) Effects of Initial Invention 2 According to the initial invention, an advantageous conclusion can be expected in the predetermined determination regarding the notification game, for example, even when the lottery result of the winning lottery means is not won. Also, when the lottery result of the role lottery means is an advantageous lottery result, it is possible to expect an advantageous conclusion in the determination.

3. Initial invention 3
(A) Problems to be solved by Initial invention 3 Same as Initial invention 2.
(B) Means for solving the problem of Invention 3 initially (corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses).
The original invention was
Role lottery means (61) for performing a role lottery,
Notification game lottery means for selecting whether or not to execute a notification game (AT) for notifying operation information (correct answering order) of the stop switch (42) which is advantageous to the player;
The notification game lottery means,
A first lottery based on a lottery result of the role lottery means and a second lottery based on a game state (RT, main game state, total number of games, etc.) can be executed,
Comparing the result of the first lottery with the result of the second lottery, determining the result of one of the lotteries based on a predetermined condition, and executing a predetermined process relating to the notification game based on the result. I do.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 3 According to the initial invention, for example, even if the lottery result of the winning lottery means is not won, an advantageous conclusion in the predetermined determination regarding the notification game is made according to the game state in which the player stays. Can be expected. Also, when the lottery result of the role lottery means is an advantageous lottery result, it is possible to expect an advantageous conclusion in the determination.

4. Initial invention 4
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 4 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that varies the number of games of a precursor game before executing a notification game.
In a conventional gaming machine, the number of games of the precursor game before executing the notification game (AT) is determined at the start of the precursor game (see, for example, JP-A-2017-012479).
In the conventional gaming machines described above, the number of precursor games is fixed, so that the number of precursor games cannot be diversified, and the end timing of the precursor game (start timing of the notification game) cannot be surprising. There is.
The problem to be solved by the invention at first is to make the number of games of the precursor game variable.

(B) Means for solving the problem of Invention 4 initially (corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses).
The original invention was
A role lottery means (61) for performing a role lottery,
When a special combination (1BBB, 1BBC) is won by the combination lottery means and the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is stopped, the game shifts to a special game (1BBB game, 1BBC game),
After the end of the special game, a notification game (AT) for notifying the operation information (correct push order) of the stop switch (42) which is advantageous to the player via the precursor game (main game state 1) can be executed,
During the special game, the number of games of the precursor game is determined based on the result of the lottery by the role lottery means (the precursor counter addition lottery 1 to 4 in step S224 in FIG. 35), and the determined number of games is counted by a predetermined counter (state management). Counter) and can be added.
After the end of the special game, a precursory game (main game state 0) of the number of games corresponding to the predetermined counter value can be executed (step S181 in FIG. 32).
After completion of the precursor game, when the execution condition of the notification game is satisfied ("No" in step S262 of FIG. 39), the notification game (main game state 2) can be started.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 4 According to the initial invention, the number of games of the precursor game is changed according to the lottery result of the role lottery means during the special game, so that the lottery result of the role lottery means during the special game is reflected. Ahead game can be executed.

5. Initial invention 5
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 5 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that appropriately outputs an effect when the end of the upper limit of the advantageous section and the special game overlap.
It is known that a conventional gaming machine outputs an ending effect immediately before the end of an advantageous section (when approaching 1500 games, which is the continuous upper limit number of games). Further, it is known that the ending effect is continued even when the special role (1BB) is won during the ending effect and the game is shifted to the special game (for example, see FIG. 70 (b) of Japanese Patent No. 612524). .

When the ending effect is preferentially output as in a conventional gaming machine, there is a possibility that the effect content may not be as intended, for example, the ending effect is repeated, or the effect state without change continues.
Further, during the ending effect, outputting an effect relating to the addition of the number of games in the advantageous section or the AT based on the execution of the special game may cause misunderstanding of the player (if the advantageous section or the AT is further extended, the player Misunderstanding).
The problem to be solved by the invention at first is that the special effect that can be output when the advantageous section is continued until the upper limit number of games of the advantageous section is reached, and the first special role in which the winning probability is the same for all set values. Is to output an effect without misunderstanding between the effect during the special game according to the above and the effect during the special game according to the second special role having the winning probability different at least in part of the set value.

(B) Means for solving the problem of Invention 5 initially (corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses).
The first solution is
It is possible to execute lottery of roles including special roles for shifting to special games,
As the special combination, at least a first special combination (1BBB, 1BBC) having the same winning probability in all set values and a second special combination (1BBA) having different winning probabilities in at least some set values. ,
When the game shifts to the special game (1BBB game, 1BBC game) based on the winning of the first special role, the operation information of the stop switch (42) which is advantageous for the player in the special game (the order of correct answer). Processing (AT additional lottery in step S241 in FIG. 37) for executing the notification game (AT), and a first effect (an effect of adding or not) including the effect regarding the notification game can be output. age,
When the game shifts to the special game (1BBA game) based on the winning of the second special role, the special game does not include the effect related to the notification game as the second effect (introduction of characters appearing, story introduction, etc.). ),
The game section has a normal section in which a notification game cannot be executed and an advantageous section in which a notification game can be executed,
When a predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section (when the number of talks counter reaches “22”), the advantageous section can be continued until the upper limit number of games (1500 games) is reached.
When the predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section, a specific effect (ending effect) can be output,
In the case where the specific effect is not output in the advantageous section, when the game shifts to the special game based on the winning of the first special role, the first effect (BB2 game effect in pattern 3 in FIG. 49) is output. And
When the first special role is won during the advantageous section and the game shifts to the special game based on the winning of the first special role after the end of the advantageous section, the second effect (BB1 game effect) is output (FIG. 49 patterns 2)
It is characterized by the following.

The second solution is
It is possible to execute lottery of roles including special roles for shifting to special games,
As the special combination, at least a first special combination (1BBB, 1BBC) having the same winning probability in all set values and a second special combination (1BBA) having different winning probabilities in at least some set values. ,
When the game shifts to the special game (1BBB game, 1BBC game) based on the winning of the first special role, the operation information of the stop switch (42) which is advantageous for the player in the special game (the order of correct answer). Processing (AT additional lottery in step S241 in FIG. 37) for executing the notification game (AT), and a first effect (an effect of adding or not) including the effect regarding the notification game can be output. age,
When the game shifts to the special game (1BBA game) based on the winning of the second special role, the special game does not include the effect related to the notification game as the second effect (introduction of characters appearing, story introduction, etc.). ),
The game section has a normal section in which a notification game cannot be executed and an advantageous section in which a notification game can be executed,
When a predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section (when the number of talks counter reaches “22”), the advantageous section can be continued until the upper limit number of games (1500 games) is reached.
When the predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section, a specific effect (ending effect) can be output,
