A payout process for paying out a number of medals is executed, and medals are paid out from the medal payout exit MO to the medal tray MP.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the slot machine 1 of the embodiment. The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is controlled by a game control means 100 as a control board. The game control unit 100 receives various input signals from a medal insertion switch 210, a bet switch 220, a start switch 230, and a stop switch 240 as a plurality of operation detection units and receives various signals for executing a game. The calculation is performed, and the operation of output means such as the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, the display device 330, the sound device 340, and the main control display device 500 is controlled based on the calculation result. The function of the game control means 100 is hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or RAM, or a predetermined memory stored in ROM or the like. This is realized by software consisting of the above programs.

  Further, the game control means 100 includes an insertion receiving means 105, a random number generation means 110, an internal lottery means 120, a reel control means 130, a winning determination means 140, a payout control means 150, a replay processing means 160, a game state transition control means 170, Effect control means 180, storage means 190, and assist time state control means (AT state control means) 200 are included. Each unit constituting the game control unit 100 reads out and executes each control program stored in the storage unit 190 in advance when executing each control process.

  The insertion accepting unit 105 performs a process of validating a game start operation on the start lever SL based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the specified insertion number (three) during an insertion acceptance period for receiving insertion of medals. . Specifically, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI, the medal insertion switch 210 is operated, and the insertion accepting means 105 sets the inserted medal into an inserted state with a limit of a specified number of insertions. Set. In addition, when a bet operation in which the single bet button BT or the max bet button MB is pressed in a state where a medal is credited is performed, the bet receiving unit 105 operates the bet switch 220 and sets the prescribed number of bets. Up to the limit, the credited medals are set in the inserted state.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first pressing operation of the start lever SL activated based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the prescribed insertion number is received as a game start operation by the player, and the first operation is performed. This is an opportunity to start rotation of the reel R1 to the third reel R3, and an opportunity to execute an internal lottery by an internal lottery means 120 described later.

  In addition, in the insertion receiving period, when the medal insertion switch 210 detects that medals have been inserted from the medal insertion slot MI after the specified number of medals has been set in the insertion state during the insertion reception period, the insertion receiving means 105 determines in advance. Each time the medal insertion switch 210 detects a medal, the credit value, which is the value stored in the insertion acceptance storage means (not shown) of the storage means 190, is added up to the upper limit value (for example, 50) set as the limit. A credit control process for crediting medals is executed.

  The random number generation unit 110 is a unit that generates a random number for lottery. The random number can be generated, for example, based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts a numerical value so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number” includes not only a value randomly generated in a mathematical sense but also a generation itself, which is substantially irregular because the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. A value that can function as a random number is also included.

  The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery for determining whether or not to win a combination based on a start signal output when the player performs a start operation on the start lever SL and the start switch 230 detects the start operation. This means performs lottery table selection processing, random number determination processing, lottery flag setting processing, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, the user selects which of the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190 to use for the internal lottery table based on the current game state. I do. In each internal lottery table, each of a plurality of random numbers (for example, 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535) is associated with various roles such as replays, small roles and bonuses, and losses (non-winning). .

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an internal lottery table A to an internal lottery table E, which are internal lottery tables selected when the gaming state is in the non-RT state to the RT4 state. As shown in FIG. 3, in the internal lottery tables A to E selected when the gaming state is in the non-RT state to the RT4 state, the winning probability of the winning area including the small win is set to be the same. The winning area including the small role, the winning area "bat order bell 1" to the winning area "bat order bell 6", the winning area "upper rare role", the winning area "lower falling rare role", the winning area "upward right" A random number is associated with each of the rare area, the winning area “lower rare area”, and the winning area “robbing part”. In the following description, the winning area "Upper stage rare role", the winning area "Right down rare role", the winning area "Right upward rare role", the winning area "Lower rare role", and the winning area "Lower role" And collectively described as a winning area group "rare role".

  Further, in the internal lottery tables A to E, a challenge big bonus (hereinafter, referred to as “CBB”) as a continuous differential device related to the second special special item prepared as a bonus in the present embodiment is provided. A winning area “CBB” which is a winning area to be won is set as a lottery target. When the gaming state is the bonus state, the random number is associated with the replay that can be won in the internal lottery table selected in the game in which the CBB has been won.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, bells, special small roles 1 to 6 and rare roles A to rare A role D and a drop-out role are prepared, and a winning area “bat order bell 1” to a winning area “bat order bell 6” are set as a winning area (winning mode) of a small role in which a plurality of types of winning combinations are repeatedly won. Have been.

  Here, the “batting order” means the order in which the pressing operation is performed on the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, and is composed of six types of batting order from batting order 1 to batting order 6. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  The batting order 1 is a batting order in which a stop operation is executed in the order of a stop button B1, a stop button B2, and a stop button B3. The batting order 2 is a so-called scissoring order in which a stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B3, and the stop button B2. The batting order 3 is a batting order in which a stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B2 → stop button B1 → stop button B3. The batting order 4 is a batting order in which a stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B2 → stop button B3 → stop button B1. The batting order 5 is a batting order in which a stop operation is executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B1 → stop button B2. The batting order 6 is a so-called reverse pressing in which a stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B3 → the stop button B2 → the stop button B1.

  In the following description, it is assumed that the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is started by the reel control means 130, and the player first presses any of the valid stop buttons B1 to B3. This is also referred to as a first stop operation, and is a stop that is effective by the player in a state in which rotation of one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button pressed by the first stop operation is stopped. Pressing any one of the buttons B1 to B3 is also referred to as a second stop operation, and a reel corresponding to the stop button pressed and operated in the first stop operation among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. A stop button B that is effective for the player in a state where the rotation of the two reels with the reel corresponding to the stop button pressed down by the second stop operation is stopped. Also described as the third stop operation that depresses either the ~ stop button B3.

  The winning area "bat order bell 1" to the winning area "bat order bell 6" are winning areas where the bell and any one of the special small combinations 1 to 6 are overlapped and won. Here, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning in the winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 6”, the bell is set at the timing of pressing each stop button. This is a winning combination that wins regardless of, for example, when the winning area “bat order 1” is won, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the batting order 1, the player wins. In the special small wins 1 to 6, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a batting order other than a batting order in which a bell can be won when the winning area "batting bell 1" to the winning area "batting bell 6" is won. It is a winning combination that can be won when the operation is performed and the pressing timing of each stop button is appropriate. For example, when the winning area “batting bell 1” is won, any one of batting order 2 to batting order 6 When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the order of hitting, and when the timing of pressing the stop buttons is appropriate, a prize is won.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in a batting order in which a bell cannot be won at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”. In addition, when each stop button is pressed at a pressing timing at which the special small combination 1 to the special small combination 6 cannot be won, a loss (loss) occurs in which none of the winnings is won.

  The winning area “upper rare role” wins the rare role A, and the rare role A can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. In addition, the winning area "rare-raising rare combination" wins the rare combination B, and the rare combination B can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. In addition, the winning area “raising right rare combination” wins the rare combination C, and the rare combination C can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. The winning area “lower rare role” wins the rare role D, and the rare role D can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. Here, the elected area “Upper stage rare role”, the elected area “Right descending rare role”, the elected area “Right upward rare role”, and the elected area “Lower rare role” are respectively defined in the elected area “Bring order bell 1 ”To the winning area“ batting order bell 6 ”. The details of rare combination A to rare combination D will be described later.

  In addition, the winning area “missing combination” wins a small combination that is a small combination that is configured to be able to win when the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 is appropriate. If the timing of pressing the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 at the time when the winning area "missing role" is won is a timing at which the winning role cannot be won, no winning is won (losing). It becomes.

  The bell payout is set to the number of payouts (for example, nine) larger than the prescribed number of payouts. The payouts of the rare combination A to the rare combination D are set to the same number of payouts (for example, three) as the prescribed number of insertions. The payouts of the special small combination 1 to the special small combination 6 and the missing combination are set to the number of payouts (for example, one) smaller than the prescribed number of insertions.

  In the random number determination process, a random number (random number for lottery) generated by the random number generation means 110 is acquired for each game based on a start signal output from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. By comparing the lottery table, it is determined whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the comparison result.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined from the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, OFF state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won twice, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winnings is set to a winning state. The setting information of the lottery flag is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the winning state is carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. And a lottery flag (non-carryover impossible flag) that is reset to a non-winning state. The role to which the carryover possible flag of the former is associated is CBB, and the small combination and replay are associated with the carryover impossible flag of the latter. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, when the CBB is won by the internal lottery, the winning state of the CBB lottery flag is carried over until the CBB wins. At this time, even in the game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the CBB has been carried over, the internal lottery means 120 is performing the internal lottery for determining the success or failure of the small role and the replay. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the CBB lottery flag is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, the small lottery flag of the CBB already won and the small lottery won by the internal lottery. A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations and a lottery flag for replay is set to a winning state. When the gaming state is the bonus state, the internal lottery means 120 of this embodiment sets the lottery flags of all the small wins to the ON state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  The reel control means 130 controls the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 operated by the player performing the start operation on the start lever SL. Start the rotation drive of. Further, when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 becomes a rotation state in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotate at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm), the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel is controlled. To execute a control for enabling a stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the stop button B3 is pressed. Then, when a reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation, the reel control unit 130 stops supplying a drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310. Then, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the stepping motor, in a state according to the setting state of the lottery flag, that is, the result of the internal lottery. That is, each time one of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, the reel control unit 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Then, the reel is stopped at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, during the rotation corresponding to the pressed stop button. The reel is stopped. Here, when stopping the spinning reel within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each spinning reel is determined from the diameter and the rotation speed of each reel, and the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable by a maximum of four frames before performing. The reel control means 130 displays a symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button pressed from among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the button is pressed within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the activated line L1, the symbol corresponding to the combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state is valid. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed, so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing symbols arranged on the peripheral surface of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the slot machine 1 of the embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a red 7 symbol "red 7", a BAR symbol "BAR", a replay symbol "RP", and a bell symbol "BL" , Star symbol A "STA", star symbol B "STB", star symbol C "STC", star symbol D "STD", star symbol E "STE", and special symbol "SP". In addition, symbols of 20 frames are arranged on the peripheral surface of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, respectively.

  Here, the reel control unit 130 receives a start signal output when the start switch 230 detects a start operation, starts rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, a standby time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time) is set. Then, when the start signal is received from the start switch 230 within the period from the setting of the standby time to the elapse of the standby time, the reel control unit 130 sets the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 after the elapse of the standby time. Is configured to start rotating. With this configuration, the reel control unit 130 can start the game after a minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a fixed time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. .

  The reel control unit 130 performs a logic operation process for determining the stop position of the rotating reel by a logic operation, and refers to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190 to determine the rotation of the rotating reel. And a table reference process for determining the stop position.

  First, in the logic operation process, 0 frames to 4 frames from the press detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated, that is, when the press operation of the stop button is detected, in accordance with the priority data determined for each role. The priority is determined for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control unit 130 is a reel index that is output when the photo sensor provided on the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided on each reel and indicates that the reel has made one revolution. And the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor). To get. Then, a stop position candidate having the highest priority among the priorities of the stop position candidates is determined as an actual stop position. However, in the logic operation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates in accordance with the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the priorities are determined in the order of “replay> small win> bonus”. In the logic operation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the winning state, the stop positions including the symbols that constitute the winning configuration of the winning combinations of the high priority according to the priority order associated with each winning combination. The priority of the candidate is determined such that the priority of the candidate is higher than the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the combination with the lower priority. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the bonus state, the priority is determined in the order of “small win> replay”.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the method of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates when a plurality of small wins are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line L1. There is a method of calculating the priority based on the payout, and a method of calculating the priority according to the number of payouts of medals based on the payout predetermined for the small role. When determining the priority of the candidate of the stop position according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line L1, a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern that can be displayed on the activated line L1 (hereinafter, “winning symbol combination”) The priority of each stop position candidate is determined such that the priority increases as the stop position increases in number. When the priority of the candidate of the stop position is obtained in accordance with the number of payouts of medals, the number of payouts of medals based on the payout of the small combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined such that the stop position that can be set, that is, the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be awarded has a higher priority. However, when determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the number of medals paid out, if the small payout with the same payout is repeatedly won, the stop position where the respective small wins can be awarded. The candidates have the same priority.

  In the logic operation processing, so-called pull-in processing and kicking-off processing are performed as processing for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining a reel stop position candidate so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking-off process is a process of obtaining candidates for reel stop positions so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. As described above, the reel control unit 130 can stop the symbol with the lottery flag set to the winning state in the form of a winning, while the symbol of the role with the lottery flag set to the non-winning state can change the winning pattern. In this case, a logic operation process for obtaining a candidate for a reel stop position is performed so that the reel does not stop.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CBB wins and the gaming state shifts to the bonus state, the reel control unit 130 sets the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The stop control of the reel is executed so as to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 75 ms from the time when the button is pressed. Here, when stopping the spinning reel within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each spinning reel is determined by the diameter and the rotation speed of each reel, and the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable by a maximum of one frame before performing. In the stop control of the reels in the bonus state, the reel control means 130 sets at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 (the third reel R3 in the present embodiment) to a stop button. The stop control of the reels may be executed so as to stop within 75 ms from the point at which is pressed.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the manner in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the information is displayed on the activated line L1. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination that has been set is a predetermined winning combination. Then, based on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line L1 in a state where each reel is stopped, the winning determination table is determined so that the presence or absence of CBB, replay, and small role winning can be determined (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”). It is prepared.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each processing is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination processing. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out to the payout control unit 150 when the small combination wins is performed, and when a replay is won. Causes the replay processing means 160 to execute processing without consuming medals in the next game, and when a bonus is won, processing to shift the game state to the game state shift control means 170 is performed.

  The payout control unit 150 performs payout processing related to payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when the small winning combination wins, the payout number of medals in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each winning combination, and the medal corresponding to the determined payout number is determined as a payout device. The hopper unit 320 is controlled to pay out. In the present embodiment, as described above, the payout of the bell set to the payout number larger than the prescribed insertion number is set to nine. Further, the payouts of the rare combination A to the rare combination D which are set to the same payout number as the prescribed insertion number are all set to three. In addition, the payouts of the special small wins 1 to 6 set to the payout number smaller than the prescribed insertion number are all set to one.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that is activated every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. When credits for medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown). The number of medals is added to the number of payouts, and credit addition processing is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  The replay processing means 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating the winning of one of the plurality of types of replays, which will be described later, is stopped and displayed on the activated line L1 by the winning determination means 140. For the next game, a replay process (re-game process) for setting the game in a ready state for executing the game without inserting medals is performed. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion process of automatically inserting medals of a prescribed insertion number without using medals (including credit medals) held by the player is performed. Then, in a state where the same effective line L1 as that of the previous game is set, the next start operation on the start lever SL is awaited.

  Further, the insertion accepting unit 105 of the present embodiment stores the storage unit 190 in the period from when the replay processing is executed by the replay processing unit 160 to when the start lever SL is operated to start and the start switch 230 outputs a start signal. The insertion of medals is accepted until the credit value stored in the insertion acceptance storage means (not shown) reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, 50). That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, a medal is inserted into the medal slot MI by inserting a medal into the medal insertion slot MI during a period from the replay winning until the start operation of the start lever SL is performed. Each time the switch 210 is operated, the credit value in the insertion reception storage unit is added. When the credit value reaches the upper limit, the slot machine 1 activates the blocker that prevents the medal insertion switch 210 from detecting the medal, so that even if the medal is inserted when the blocker is activated, the medal is inserted. The medal inserted from the mouth MI is configured to be discharged from the medal payout port MO.

  The game state transition control means 170 includes an RT state transition control processing for transitioning from a non-RT state to an RT4 state, a bonus state transition control processing for transitioning from a current gaming state to a bonus state when a CBB is won, I do. Here, as the transition condition of each game state, one condition may be determined, or a plurality of conditions may be determined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, a game is performed based on the fact that any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or that all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. The state can be shifted to another game state. The game state transition control means 170 of the present embodiment sets the winning symbol combination of the CBB on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 as a predetermined transition condition which is a condition that is satisfied when the game is executed. When displayed, it is determined that the condition for shifting from the current gaming state to the bonus state has been satisfied. In the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the gaming state transition control unit 170 displays the winning symbol combinations of the RT1 transition replay 1 to the RT1 transition replay 3 on the pay line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control unit 130. The winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state, and the RT3 transition replay by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT2 state or the RT4 state. Is displayed on the activated line L1, the case where the winning symbol combination of the RT4 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT3 state, and the non-RT state. , RT2 state ~ In any one of the T4 states, in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is won, and the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop to play any role. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L1, it is determined that the transition condition of the gaming state is satisfied, and control for shifting from the current gaming state to another gaming state is executed.

  FIG. 6A is a state transition diagram showing game states that can be transitioned from each game state in the RT state transition control processing executed by the game state transition control means 170. 7 and 8 are diagrams showing details of a replay winning mode (winning area) in each game state. In the following description, the non-RT state to the RT4 state are collectively described as a “non-bonus state”.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the non-RT state is a game state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 6” is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed down. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small combination, the replay and the bonus is displayed on the activated line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, among the internal lottery tables A to F, the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3, and the winning area “non-RT replay” and the winning area “upper rare” are set. Replay ", winning area" lower rare replay ", winning area" middle rare replay "(hereafter, winning area" upper rare replay ", winning area" lower rare replay ", winning area" middle rare replay " Are collectively referred to as “winning area group“ rare replay ””), an internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table A set as a replay lottery target.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, in the game in the non-RT state, the game state transition control means 170 displays the winning symbol combination of the replay on the pay line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. In this case, the game state is not changed to another game state. In addition, when the game state is shifted from the non-RT state to the RT1 state, the game state shift control unit 170 is established by executing the game in the subsequent games executed in any of the RT1 state to the RT4 state. It is configured such that the transition to the non-RT state is not performed when any of the transition conditions is satisfied. The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to set the gaming state to the non-RT state only when the power of the slot machine 1 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state and the slot machine 1 is initialized. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, in the non-RT state, a winning area “non-RT replay” including a non-RT replay as a winning combination, and a winning area “upper replay” including a rare replay A as a winning combination. A winning area “lower rare play” including rare replay B as a winning combination and a winning area “middle rare play” including rare replay C as a winning combination can be won. As shown in FIG. 7A, each winning area of the replay that can be won in the non-RT state is configured to have a single winning combination, and the hit order of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is determined. Also, when the push operation is performed at the push timing, the winning combination included in the winning area wins. As shown in FIGS. 7 (A) to 7 (C), 8 (A) and 8 (B), the winning area group “rare replay” is a single rare replay in any game state. It is configured to have a replay, and wins regardless of the hitting order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  The RT1 state is a game state corresponding to a normal state in which a transition can be made from the non-RT state and the RT2 to RT4 states, and a transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a hitting order in which one of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won and the RT2 shift replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the state shifts to the RT2 state. In the RT1 state, among the internal lottery tables A to F, the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3, and the winning area “RT1 maintenance replay” and the winning area “bat order replay 1” to the winning An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table B in which the area “bat order replay 6” and the winning area group “rare replay” are set as the lottery targets.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, in the RT1 state, a winning area “RT1 maintenance replay” including only the RT1 transition replay 1 as a winning combination, and one of RT1 transition replay 1 to RT1 transition replay 3 as a winning combination. The winning area “batting order replay 1” including one or two and the RT2 shift replay to the winning area “batting order replay 6” and the winning area group “rare replay” can be won.

  RT1 shift replay 1 is a predetermined batting order set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” when the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” are won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, the prize wins regardless of the timing of pressing the respective stop buttons. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 1” is won, the batting order The reel control means 130 stops the reels so that the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay 1 is displayed on the activated line L1 when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed down in any one of the hitting order of 5, hitting order 6. Controlled. The RT1 transition replay 2 is performed when the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won, and the predetermined area is set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order, the winning combination is won regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 1” is won, When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any one of the batting order 2 to the batting order 4, the reel control unit 130 stops the reels so that the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay 2 is displayed on the activated line L1. Controlled. The RT1 transition replay 3 is a predetermined area set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” when the winning area “batting order replay 3” and the winning area “batting order replay 4” are won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the batting order, the winning combination wins regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button. For example, when the winning area "batting order replay 3" is won, When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 4, the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop so that the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay 3 is displayed on the activated line L1. In addition, the RT2 shift replay is performed when the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won, and the predetermined area set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is set. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order, it is a winning combination that wins irrespective of the pressing timing of each stop button. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 1” is won, When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1, the reel control unit 130 controls the reel stop so that the winning symbol combination of the RT2 shift replay is displayed on the activated line L1. As shown in FIG. 7B, in the RT1 transition replay 1, when the winning area "RT1 maintaining replay" is won, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any stroke order and press timing. Also wins a prize.

  In addition, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” are overlapped in the RT1 transition replay 1 to the RT1 transition replay 3 and the RT2 transition replay. For example, in the winning area “bat order replay 1”, the RT1 shift replay 1, the RT1 shift replay 2 and the RT2 shift replay are overlapped, and the winning area “bat order replay 2” is the RT1 shift replay 1. , The RT1 transition replay 2, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 1 having a different winning symbol combination from the other replays including the RT1 transition replay 1 to the RT1 transition replay 3 and the RT2 transition replay, and the winning area “ The batting order replay 3 ”includes RT1 transition replay 1 to RT1 transition replay 3 and RT2 transition replay. And the winning area “batting order replay 4”, the RT1 transition replay 1 to the RT1 transition replay 3, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 1 are repeatedly won, and the winning area “batting order replay 5” is , RT1 transfer replay 1, RT1 transfer replay 2, RT2 transfer replay, RT1 transfer replay 1, RT1 transfer replay 3, RT2 transfer replay, and other special replays including special replay 1. The winning area “bat order replay 6” is divided into RT1 transition replay 1, RT1 transition replay 2, RT2 transition replay, RT1 transition replay 1 to RT1 transition replay 3, RT2 transition replay, special replay 1. Special replay 3 with a different winning symbol combination from other replays, including special replay 2 , And it is configured to overlap winning. Note that, when the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 wins any of the winning areas including the special replay 1 to the special replay 3, the reel control means 130 presses the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in any stroke order. In this case, the reel stop control is executed so that the winning symbol combination of special replay 1 to special replay 3 is not displayed.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. The transition from the RT2 state to the RT1 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, one of the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won, and one of RT1 transition replay 1 to RT1 transition replay 3 (hereinafter, RT1 transition replay) is performed. 1 to RT1 shift replay 3 are collectively described as "RT1 shift replay"). The stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed down in a possible batting order, and the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop to win the RT1 shift replay. When the combination is displayed on the activated line L1, when one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the reel control is performed. Any of small role, replay, and bonus is entered by reel stop control by means 130 And when displayed on different symbol combination is effective lines L1 and symbol combination, in proceeds to RT1 state. Further, in the RT2 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in a batting order in which one of the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” is won and the RT3 shift replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the RT2 state, among the internal lottery tables A to F, the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3, and the winning area “RT2 maintenance replay” and the winning area “bat order replay 7” to the winning The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C in which the area “bat order replay 12” and the winning area group “rare replay” are set as the lottery targets.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, in the RT2 state, the winning area “RT2 maintenance replay” including only the RT2 transition replay as the winning combination, and one of the RT1 transition replay 1 and the RT1 transition replay 2 as the winning combination. Alternatively, the winning area “batting order replay 7” including the two and the RT3 shift replay to the winning area “batting order replay 12” and the winning area group “rare replay” can be won.

  RT1 transition replay 1 is a predetermined batting order set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” when the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12” are won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, the prize wins regardless of the timing of pressing the respective stop buttons. For example, when the prize area is "winning order replay 7", the batting order is used.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the winning area “RT2 maintenance replay” is a winning area in which the RT2 shift replay is independently won. If the winning area “RT2 maintenance replay” is won, the stop button is pressed. The RT2 shift replay wins when the B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any order and at the pressing timing.

  The RT3 state is a game state in which a transition is made when the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT2 state or the RT4 state. The transition from the RT3 state to the RT1 state and the RT4 state is possible. Specifically, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in a hitting order in which one of the winning area “batting order replay 13” to the winning area “batting order replay 18” is won and the RT1 shift replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the control means 130, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and The stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, and the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop to display a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of the small combination, the replay and the bonus on the activated line L1. Then, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in a batting order in which one of the winning area “batting order replay 13” to the winning area “batting order replay 18” is won and the RT4 shift replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT4 shift replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the state shifts to the RT4 state. In the RT3 state, among the internal lottery tables A to F, the probability of play is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.5, so that the probability of winning any of the small role, the replay, and the bonus is extremely high. It is set high, and the winning area “RT3 maintenance replay”, the winning area “batting order replay 13” to the winning area “batting replay 18”, and the winning area group “rare replay” are set as the lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table D.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, in the RT3 state, the winning area “RT3 maintenance replay” including only the RT3 transition replay as the winning combination, and the winning area “RT1 transition replay and RT4 transition replay as the winning combination” The replay 13 ”to the winning area“ batting order replay 18 ”and the winning area group“ rare replay ”can be won.

  RT1 transition replay 1 is a predetermined batting order set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 15” to the winning area “batting order replay 18” when the winning area “batting order replay 15” to the winning area “batting order replay 18” are won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are depressed, the prize is a winning combination that wins regardless of the timing of pressing each stop button. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 15” is won, the batting order When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any one of the batting order of 1, batting order 2, batting order 5, and batting order 6, the winning symbol combination of RT1 transition replay 1 is displayed on the activated line L1.

The RT4 transition replay is performed when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a batting order other than a possible batting order for the RT4 transition replay at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order replay 13” to the winning area “batting order replay 18”. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 13” is won, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the batting order 1, the winning symbol combination of the RT4 transition replay is performed. Is controlled by the reel control means 130 so that is displayed on the activated line L1.

  In addition, the winning area “batting order replay 13” to the winning area “batting order replay 18” are overlapped with the RT1 transition replay and the RT4 transition replay. Similarly, by including the special replay 1 as a winning combination for multiple winning, the winning modes for multiple winning are different from each other.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the winning area “RT3 maintenance replay” is a winning area in which the RT3 shift replay is independently won. If the winning area “RT3 maintenance replay” is won, a stop button The RT3 shift replay wins when the B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any order and timing of pressing.

  The RT4 state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when the winning symbol combination of the RT4 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT3 state. The transition from the RT4 state to the RT1 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT4 state, any one of the winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 6” is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed down. If a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small combination, replay and bonus is displayed on the activated line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT4 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in a batting order in which one of the winning area “batting order replay 19” to the winning area “batting order replay 21” is won and the RT3 shift replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the RT4 state, among the internal lottery tables A to F, the probability of playing is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.5, so that the probability of winning any of the small role, replay, and bonus is extremely high. The winning area “RT4 keeping replay”, the winning area “batting order replay 19” to the winning area “batting order replay 21”, the winning area “batting order rare replay 1” to the winning area “batting rare replay 3” are set. The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E in which the winning area group “Rare Replay” is set as a lottery target.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, in the RT4 state, the winning area “RT4 maintenance replay” including only the RT4 transition replay as the winning combination, and the winning area “RT3 transition replay and the RT4 transition replay as the winning combination” Replay 19 ”to a winning area“ bat order replay 21 ”, a winning area including a RT4 transition replay and a rare replay A or rare replay B as a winning combination“ bat order rare replay 1 ”to a winning area“ bat order rare replay 3 ”, and a winning area The area group "Rare Replay" can be selected.

  The RT3 shift replay is performed in a predetermined batting order set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 19” to the winning area “batting order replay 21” when the winning area “batting order replay 19” to the winning area “batting order replay 21” are won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, a winning combination that wins regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 19” is won, the batting order is 3 When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in any of the batting orders 6, the reel stop control is performed by the reel control means 130 so that the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1. You. The RT4 transition replay is performed when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a batting order other than the batting order in which the RT4 transition replay can be won at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order replay 19” to the winning area “batting order replay 21”. For example, when the winning area “batting order replay 19” is won, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down in the batting order 1 and batting order 2, the RT4 transition replay is performed. Reel stop means 130 controls the reel stop so that the winning symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L1.

Similarly, by including the special replay 1 and the special replay 2 as the winning combination for the double winning, the winning modes for the multiple winning are different from each other.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (B), the winning area “RT4 maintenance replay” is a winning area in which the RT4 shift replay is independently won. If the winning area “RT4 maintenance replay” is won, the stop button is pressed. When the B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any order of hitting and pressing timing, the RT4 shift replay wins.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the RT4 state, the winning area “bat order rare replay 1” to the winning area “bat order rare replay 3” are RT4 shift replay and rare replay A or rare replay. B and B win. Here, the RT4 transition replay is set in each of the winning area “batting rare replay 1” to the winning area “batting rare replay 3” when the winning area “batting rare replay 1” to the winning area “batting rare replay 3” is won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the predetermined batting order, the winning combination is won regardless of the pressing timing of each stop button. For example, when the winning area "bat order rare replay 1" is won. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any one of the batting order 3 to batting order 6, the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay is displayed on the activated line L1. The reel stop control is performed by the control means 130. In the rare replay A or rare replay B, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are used in the batting order other than the batting order that can win the RT4 shift replay when the winning area “batting rare replay 1” to the winning area “batting rare replay 3” are won. Is a winning combination that can be won when the button is pressed. For example, when the winning area “bat order rare replay 1” is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 and the batting order 2. In this case, the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop so that the winning symbol combination of the rare replay A is displayed on the activated line L1.

  In the winning area “bat order rare replay 1” to the winning area “bat order rare replay 3”, the RT4 shift replay and the rare replay A or rare replay B are overlapped, but the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “ Similar to the batting order replay 21 ", by including the special replay 1 as a winning combination to be repeatedly won, the winning modes of the double winning are different from each other.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, different gaming properties are realized in each gaming state by transitioning the gaming state between the non-RT state and the RT4 state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the frequency of shifting to the RT1 state in which a normal game is executed and the RT3 state in which the probability of winning a replay is high is suppressed, and medals are paid excessively. And the RT3 state in which the game state can be quickly shifted to the RT4 state by winning the replay with a high probability. , Realizing different playability in the RT4 state in which the probability of winning in rare replay A or rare replay B is higher than in other game states.

  Note that the game state transition control means 170 of this embodiment shifts the game state from the current game state to the bonus state when the CBB wins, and a medal exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 28) is determined. When paid out, the bonus state is terminated, and the gaming state is shifted to the gaming state before shifting to the bonus state. For example, when the CBB wins in the RT1 state, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state to the RT1 state after the end of the bonus state.

  Based on the effect data stored in effect data storage means 195, effect control means 180 relates to effects related to the game, such as a display effect performed using display device 330 and a sound effect performed using sound device 340. Perform control. More specifically, when the player operates each component of the slot machine 1 such as a medal insertion, a single bet button BT, a max bet button MB, a start lever SL, and an operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3, When a game event such as a state change occurs, the lamp or LED is turned on or blinks, the display content of the display device 330 changes, the sound is output from the speaker, and the first reel is output with the start signal output from the start switch 230. By performing an effect using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 for delaying the rotation start of the R1 to the third reel R3, an effect for enlivening the game and an execution control of an effect for assisting the game are performed. .

  The effect control unit 180 causes each component of the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 obtains a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation unit 110 for each lottery process using the random number, and stores the plurality of effect lotteries stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196. Each lottery process is executed using an effect lottery table required for each lottery process among the tables.

  The AT state control means 200 switches between an assist time state (AT state) in which a prize assist control for assisting winning of the winning combination is executed (AT state) and a non-assist time state (non-AT state) in which the prize assist control is not executed. The control related to the shift in is executed. In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 controls the internal lottery as a control for increasing the probability that a predetermined role is won when an internal lottery is won in a winning area where the winning role differs depending on the batting order in the AT state. By executing the prize assist control, which is a control for creating a different winning command according to the winning area won by the means 120, the created winning command is transmitted to the main control display device 500 by the internal lottery means 120, and A notification display for notifying which winning area has been won by the lottery is executed on the main control display device 500. Here, the winning areas subject to the winning auxiliary control include a winning area “Battery order bell 1” to a winning area “Battery order bell 6”, a winning area “Battery order replay 1” to a winning area “Battery order replay 21”, and a winning area. “Bat order rare replay 1” to a winning area “bat order rare replay 3”. In addition, the role that the probability of winning by the prize assist control is increased is the bell at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”. RT2 transition replay at the time of winning, the RT3 transition replay at the time of winning of the winning area “batting order replay 7” to the winning area “batting order replay 12”, at the time of winning of the winning area “batting order replay 13” to the winning area “batting order replay 21”. RT4 transition replay, rare replay A and rare replay B at the time of winning in the winning area “bat order rare replay 1” to the winning area “bat order rare replay 3”.

  Also, when the AT state is being executed by the AT state control means 200, the effect control means 180 is based on the winning command transmitted from the internal lottery means 120, and is an effect for assisting the winning of a specific combination. Execute For example, when the internal lottery unit 120 transmits a winning command indicating that the winning area “bat order bell 1” has been won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery, the rendering control unit 180 uses the rendering device 300 to determine the batting order in which a bell can be won. The prize assisting effect to be notified is executed.

  In the following description, among the batting orders in which a specific combination can be won, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the RT2 shift replay to the RT4 shifting replay when the winning area “batting order replay 21” is won are won. And the batting order in which the rare replay A and rare replay B at the time of winning in the winning area "batting rare replay 3" to the winning area "batting rare replay 1" and the winning area "batting bell 1" The batting order in which the bell can be won when the winning area “batting order bell 6” is won is also described as “correct answering batting order”. Also, in the following description, a batting order that allows the player to win the RT1 transition replay at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 18”, and a winning area “batting order replay 19” to the winning area “batting order” The batting order in which the RT3 shift replay at the time of winning the “Replay 21” can be won, and the batting order that can win the RT4 shifting replay at the time of the winning area “batting rare replay 1” to the winning area “batting rare replay 3” And the batting order in which the special small win 1 to the special small win 6 can be awarded at the time of winning in the winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 6” are also described as “illegal batting order”.

  The AT state control means 200 executes control processing in the non-AT state and the AT state using each data stored in the state control data storage means 197 of the storage means 190. More specifically, the AT state control unit 200 performs, for example, a lottery table for comparing with a random number acquired from the random number generation unit 110 when performing an AT lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether to execute the AT state. Is acquired from the state control data storage unit 197, and the AT lottery is executed. The state control data storage unit 197 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state when the AT state control unit 200 executes the control processing in the non-AT state and the AT state.

  The normal non-AT state is a non-AT state in which the prize assist control is not executed, and is a state that is executed when the state is not the CZ state or the precursor state, and is a state that continues until shifting to another state. In the normal non-AT state, the AT state control means 200 executes a CZ lottery for determining whether or not to execute the CZ state in each game. The AT state control means 200 sets any one of the first freeze to the third freeze, each of which has a different timing, as a freeze for temporarily suspending the progress of the game when the “CZ state execution” is won in the CZ lottery. A freeze lottery for determining whether to generate a freeze is executed.

  Among the freezes generated by the AT state control means 200, the first freeze is based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 which is activated by the player performing the start operation on the start lever SL, and the stop button B1. This is a freeze in which the progress of the game is temporarily interrupted by temporarily disabling the operation on the stop button B3. Further, the first freeze temporarily stops the operation on the effective stop buttons B1 to B3 based on the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 that is activated by the player executing the first stop operation. Is a freeze in which the progress of the game is temporarily suspended by disabling the game. In addition, the third freeze temporarily stops the operation on the effective stop buttons B1 to B3 based on the output of the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240 that is activated by the player executing the second stop operation. Is a freeze in which the progress of the game is temporarily suspended by disabling the game.

  In the normal non-AT state, the AT state control means 200 determines a predetermined winning combination, such as a case where a predetermined winning combination is won or a case where a predetermined number of games are played. When the lottery condition is satisfied, an AT lottery is performed which determines whether or not to execute the control related to the transition from the normal non-AT state to the AT state. In the AT state control means 200 according to the present embodiment, as a predetermined lottery condition, when an internal lottery wins one of a winning area group “rare replay” and a winning area group “rare role”, an AT Perform a lottery.

  The CZ state is a state which is started after the CZ lottery is won in the normal non-AT state and the freeze is executed. By performing the AT lottery regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the winning area group “ This is a state in which the execution of the AT state is more likely to be determined than in the normal non-AT state in which the AT lottery is executed only when one of the real play and the winning area group “rare role” is won. In the CZ state, the AT state control means 200 executes an AT lottery to determine whether or not to determine “execute the AT state”, and when the “lot of the AT state” is won in the AT lottery, the storage means 190 The value "5" is set in an AT state execution determination counter 198, which is a counter that is included in the AT state and is referred to when determining whether to execute the AT state in the precursor state.

  The precursor state is a state executed after the end of the CZ state. In the precursor state, the AT state control means 200 sets a value (for example, 15 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games to a precursor state end determination counter (not shown) of the storage means 190 at the start of the precursor state, and sets the 15 games. Until the game is executed, when the winning area group “rare” is won, an AT state execution determination counter addition lottery that is a lottery for determining a value to be added to the AT state execution determination counter 198 is executed. It is configured. For this reason, even if the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment does not win the “execution of the AT state” in the AT lottery in the CZ state, the slot machine 1 may win the winning area group “rare” by the internal lottery in the precursor state. Thus, the execution of the AT state can be determined after the end of the precursor state.

  The execution of the AT state is determined when the gaming state has shifted to the RT4 state in the normal non-AT state and when the stored value of the AT state execution determination counter 198 is equal to or more than “5” at the end of the precursor state. State. In the AT state, as described above, when an internal lottery is won in a winning area having different winning combinations depending on the batting order, the winning state assisting control is executed by the AT state controlling means 200 and the winning assisting effect is produced by the effect controlling means 180. Is executed. For this reason, the AT state becomes easy for the player to acquire medals, and the probability of transition to the gaming state in which the probability of winning a replay is high is increased. ing.

  In addition, when the game of the number of games set at the start of the AT state (for example, 50 games) is executed, the AT state control means 200 shifts from the AT state to the normal non-AT state and ends the AT state. In this embodiment, the AT state is stored at the start of the AT state regardless of whether the AT state transitions from the normal non-AT state or from the precursor state via the CZ state. The same value (50 games) is set as the number of AT games set in the AT end determination counter (not shown) of 190, but is not limited to this, and the AT end determination is made, for example, when the execution of the AT state is determined. The values set in the counters may be different from each other. In the case of such a configuration, the slot machine 1 causes the player to select which transition opportunity is aimed because the number of times the user can enjoy the benefits of the AT state changes depending on the timing of execution of the AT state. It is possible to improve the interest in the game. Further, the AT state control means 200 is configured to determine the execution of the AT state when a game of a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000 games) is executed without shifting from the non-AT state to the AT state. It may be.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state control means 200 includes a winning area “bat order bell 1” to a winning area “bat order bell 6”, a winning area “bat order replay 1” to a winning area “bat order replay 18”, and a winning area “bat order”. The winning assist control is executed at the time of winning from "real play 1" to the winning area "bat order rare replay 3". By executing the prize assist control, in the slot machine 1, the main control display device 500 determines the correct answering order in which a bell can be won when the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is won.

It is configured to shift to the RT3 state.

  That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the control relating to the transition of the gaming state by the gaming state transition control means 170, a winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay is associated with the trigger of transition to the RT1 state, and the RT2 state is associated with the trigger. The winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is associated as a trigger for shifting, the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay is associated as a trigger for shifting to the RT3 state, and the winning symbol combination of the RT4 shifting replay is associated as a trigger for shifting to the RT4 state. Corresponding.

  As described above, the RT1 state to the RT4 state in which the internal lottery means 120 executes the internal lottery in which the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay is included in the lottery target constitutes the first gaming state in the present embodiment.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the control relating to the transition of the gaming state by the gaming state transition control means 170, when the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay is displayed in the game in the RT1 state, the gaming state is changed. When the RT1 state is maintained without shifting from the RT1 state to another gaming state, and the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed in the game in the RT2 state, the gaming state is changed from the RT2 state to another gaming state. If the RT2 state is maintained without shifting and the winning symbol combination of the RT3 shift replay is displayed in the game in the RT3 state, the RT3 state is maintained without shifting the gaming state from the RT3 state to another gaming state. When the winning symbol combination of the RT4 shift replay is displayed in the game in the RT4 state, the game state is not shifted from the RT4 state to another game state, and the RT4 state is set. It is configured to maintain the state.

  That is, the game state transition control means 170 of the present embodiment, in the game in the RT1 state to the RT4 state, the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition associated with the RT1 state to the RT4 state by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. When the winning symbol combination of the replay is displayed on the activated line L1, the present game state is maintained. In the game in the RT1 state to the RT4 state, the game state transition control means 170 is a winning symbol of the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay associated with the RT1 state to the RT4 state by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. When the combination is displayed on the activated line L1, in order to maintain the current game state, for example, it may be configured not to execute the control related to the transition of the game state, or the transition of the game state. May be configured so that the current gaming state is set as a result of executing the control according to the above.

  With this configuration, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when displayed on the winning symbol combination active line L1 of any of the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, performs the current game. It is possible to notify the player which state the state is from the RT1 state to the RT4 state, and when the replay symbol "RP" is linearly displayed in the display window DW, it is displayed linearly. Since the player can visually recognize that he or she is staying in the game state corresponding to the displayed display mode, the player can grasp the change in the playability according to the game state from the display in the display window DW. , The player can easily recognize the maintenance and change of the game state, and the fun can be more clearly transmitted to the player, thereby increasing the interest of the player in the game. Rukoto can.

  Also, as described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A shown in FIG. 3 is executed. As shown in ()), a non-RT replay can be awarded as a non-rare replay. As shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the game state transition control means 170 transitions the game state from the non-RT state to the RT1 state, the subsequent game executed in any of the RT1 to RT4 states In this configuration, the game machine is configured not to shift to the non-RT state when any of the shift conditions satisfied by executing the game is satisfied.

  In other words, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the chance of being played in the non-RT state is determined by the internal lottery from the time when the power is turned on and the initialization is performed to the winning area “Battering order bell 1” to the winning area “Battering order bell 6”. And a special combination of a bell and a special small combination 1 to a special combination 6 do not win, and a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any combination on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is limited to the period until the game is displayed, the opportunity to be played in the non-RT state is a small opportunity, and the main game state in which the game is executed is the RT1 state to the RT4 state and the bonus state. Is configured.

  With this configuration, when the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment shifts from the non-RT state to the RT1 state, the slot machine 1 shifts from the RT1 state to the RT4 state to the non-RT state in subsequent games executed in the RT1 state to the RT4 state. Without being played, the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 causes the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay to be displayed on the activated line L1, thereby changing the gaming state, thereby changing the gaming state between the RT1 state and the RT4 state. Since the probability that a game is executed in a non-RT state having a different game property from that of the game state can be reduced, the game property in each of the RT1 state to the RT4 state can be clearly transmitted to the player as the game property in each game. Therefore, it is possible to deepen the player's understanding of the playability and improve the interest in the game.

  In this way, when the winning symbol combination of the replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the game is not shifted to another game state, and the internal lottery means 120 is changed from the RT1 shift replay to the RT4 shift replay. Is not included in the target of the lottery, and the non-RT state in which the internal lottery in which the replay during non-RT is included in the target of the lottery is the second gaming state in the present embodiment.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the RT1 state to the RT4 state, the replay symbol “RP” is displayed linearly across the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the display window DW. When the winning symbol combination of the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay, which is easily recognized by the player as having won, is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, it is possible to transition to another game state. Therefore, it is possible to make the player easily recognize the change in the game state, and it is possible to improve the interest of the player in the game.

  In the non-RT state in which the gaming state is not shifted when the winning symbol combination of the replay is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. Since the internal lottery shown with reference to the internal lottery table A shown is executed, the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay is not a target of the internal lottery, and the RT1 transition replay to the RT4 transition replay replay may win. In addition, the non-RT replay in which the replay symbol “RP” is not displayed linearly across the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the display window DW is configured to be able to be won. Is also configured to be able to win the replay, and in the non-RT state, the RT1 transition replay to R 4 migration replay can be prevented that would be misidentified as that game state has changed to the player would be winning, interest in the game by the player can be prevented from being lowered.

3. Modified Example In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the prize is determined by the prize determining means 140, the replay symbol “RP” extends across the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the display window DW.
