JP, 2005-024239, A

Nowadays, it is desired to improve the interest in controlling an advantageous state as compared with the normal state.
An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve the interest.

A gaming machine that solves the above problems is a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is more advantageous than a normal state. State control means for controlling a state including the normal state and the advantageous state, and a role lottery And a first transition controlled from the normal state to the advantageous state via a first specific state on a transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state. There is a path and a second transition path that is controlled from the normal state to the advantageous state via a second specific state, and is controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the first specific state. There is a case of being controlled to the normal state, and an expectation degree of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the second specific state is the advantage degree after being controlled to the first specific state. rather high compared with the expectation to be controlled to the state, The advantageous state includes a special advantageous state and a special advantageous state that is more advantageous than the special advantageous state, and a predetermined specific ending combination is won within the upper limit period controlled by the first specific state. In this case, the special advantage is controlled from the first specific state to the normal state, and when a predetermined special combination is won within the upper limit period controlled to the first specific state, the special advantage is changed from the first specific state. State, and if neither the specific ending combination nor the special combination is won within the upper limit period controlled to the first specific state, the first specific state is controlled to the special advantageous state. If the special combination wins within the upper limit period controlled to the second specific state, within the upper limit period controlled from the second specific state to the special advantageous state and controlled to the second specific state If the special role is not won in When the second specific state is controlled to the special advantageous state, and the second specific state is controlled, the winning of the specific ending combination is not allowed, and when the second specific state is set, The gist is that the probability of winning the special combination is higher than that in the first specific state .

  The slot machine 10 is configured to be able to control the gaming state. The gaming states in the slot machine 10 include a normal gaming state, a high-probability gaming state, a preparation gaming state, a carryover gaming state and a bonus gaming state (shown in FIG. 13). The high-probability gaming state includes a first high-probability state, a second high-probability state, a third high-probability state, and a fourth high-probability state. Further, the preparatory game state includes a first preparatory game state, a second preparatory game state, and a third preparatory game state. The bonus game state includes a blue bonus game state, a white bonus game state, a green bonus game state, and a red bonus game state. The specific game state transition (switch) will be described later.

  In the slot machine 10, in the variable game in which the winning of the bonus combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery, if the bonus combination is not won, allowing the winning of the bonus combination (winning of the bonus combination) is carried over. In the present embodiment, after the bonus winning combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery, the bonus winning combination is allowed to continue until the bonus winning combination is won. In the slot machine 10, after the winning of the bonus combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery, the carry-over game state is continued in which the winning of the bonus combination is continuously allowed from the next variable game.

  In general, allowing the winning of the bonus combination in the combination lottery is also referred to as winning the bonus combination. Further, it is said that the winning of the bonus role is carried over if the winning of the bonus role is continuously allowed. The carry-over game state is also referred to as "inside". On the other hand, the normal game state, the high-probability game state, and the preparatory game state are also called "non-internal". In addition, in a game state other than the bonus game state, when the carry-over game state in which the winning of the bonus combination is continuously allowed is set as the carry-over state, the normal gaming state, the high-probability gaming state and the preparatory gaming state in which the winning of the bonus role is not continuously permitted. Can also be said to be non-carried over. Incidentally, the bonus game state is also referred to as "during bonus character", and the game states other than the bonus game state are also referred to as "during non bonus character".

  The high-probability gaming state in the slot machine 10 is a gaming state in which winning of a re-gaming combination is more easily accepted than in the normal gaming state and the preparation gaming state. Therefore, in the high-probability game state, the consumption of medals is suppressed as compared with the normal game state and the preparation game state. Therefore, it can be said that the high-probability game state is more advantageous than the normal game state and the preparation game state. The high-probability game state is a so-called "replay time (RT)".

  In the slot machine 10, the bonus gaming state has a higher winning probability of the payout combination in the winning combination lottery than the gaming states other than the bonus gaming state. The winning probability of the payout combination refers to the probability that the winning of the payout combination is allowed. As described above, in the bonus game state, the frequency of winning medals is improved as compared with the game states other than the bonus game state. Therefore, it can be said that the bonus game state is more advantageous than the game states other than the bonus game state.

  The slot machine 10 is configured so that the effect state can be controlled. There are multiple types of effect states. In each effect state, effect state identification information capable of identifying the effect state during the stay (effect state being controlled) is notified. In the slot machine 10, for example, a different background image for each type of effect state is displayed on the effect display device 15, or the decoration lamp 13 is caused to emit a different emission color for each type of effect state, or for each type of effect state. Different music (for example, background music) is output to the speaker 14 to notify the effect state identification information. Therefore, the player can recognize the production state during the stay from the background image displayed on the production display device 15, the emission color of the decoration lamp 13, the music output from the speaker 14, and the like.

  The effect states in the slot machine 10 include a normal effect state, a bonus effect state, a preparation effect state, and an advantageous effect state (shown in FIG. 15). The normal effect state is mainly an effect state in which the player stays in the normal game state. The bonus effect state is an effect state mainly for staying in the bonus game state. The preparatory production state is a production state in which the player mainly stays in the preparatory game state. The advantageous effect state is an effect state in which the player stays in the high-accuracy gaming state.

  The bonus effect states include a blue bonus effect state, a white bonus effect state, a green bonus effect state, and a red bonus effect state. The blue bonus effect state is an effect state mainly for staying in the blue bonus game state. The white bonus effect state is an effect state in which the player stays mainly in the white bonus game state. The green bonus effect state is an effect state mainly for staying in the green bonus game state. The red bonus effect state is an effect state in which the player stays mainly in the red bonus game state.

  The preparation effect state includes a first preparation state, a second preparation state, and a third preparation state. The first preparation state is a presentation state that mainly stays in the first preparation game state. The second preparation state is a presentation state that mainly stays in the second preparation game state. The third preparation state is a production state where the player mainly stays in the third preparation game state.

  The advantageous production state includes an instep production state, a second production state, and a sloppy production state. The second party effect state includes a first party second effect state, a second party second effect state, and a third party second effect state. The instep production state is a production state in which the player stays mainly in any one of the first high accuracy state to the third high accuracy state. The first B second production state is a production state in which the player stays mainly in the first high-accuracy state. The second B second production state is a production state in which the user stays mainly in the second highly accurate state. The third B second effect state is an effect state in which the user stays mainly when in the third highly accurate state. The trick production state is a production state in which the player stays in the fourth highly accurate state. Note that a specific transition (switching) of the effect state will be described later.

  In the slot machine 10, for example, an operation-related effect (hereinafter referred to as “navi effect”) that notifies an operation mode (operation timing or operation order) of a stop button for stopping a symbol combination for which a prize is set on the activated line YL. Shown) is executed. The navigation effect is also called an operation navigation effect (operation navigation) or a push order navigation effect (push order navigation).

Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the slot machine 10 includes a main board 40 as a main control unit inside the machine. The main board 40 performs processing relating to the progress of the game and outputs a control signal (control command) according to the result of the processing. The slot machine 10 includes a sub-board 41 as a sub-control unit inside the machine. The sub-board 41 performs a predetermined process based on the control information output by the main board 40. For example, the sub-board 41 performs a process for executing a light emission effect by the decoration lamp 13, a sound effect by the speaker 14, and a display effect by the effect display device 15. The main board 40 is connected to the sub-board 41. Thus, in this embodiment, the sub-board 41 as the sub-control unit is different from the main board 40 as the main control unit.

The information stored in the main control RAM 40c includes, for example, a flag, a counter and a timer. The information stored in the main control RAM 40c includes information regarding credits. The main board 40 is configured to be able to generate random numbers. For example, the random number may be generated as a hardware random number by mounting a random number generation circuit that updates the value of the random number in the predetermined cycle on the main board 40, and the main control CPU 40a generates the random number in the predetermined control cycle. It may be generated as a software random number by updating the value of.

  Reel sensors SE1 to SE3 and a loading sensor SE4 are connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to input detection signals output from various sensors SE1 to SE4 via a port (not shown). To the main board 40, the actuators of the reels 16a to 16c are connected. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to control the operation of each actuator of the reels 16a to 16c via a drive circuit (not shown).

  A bet button 18, a settlement button 19, a start lever 20, and stop buttons 21a to 21c are connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to input detection signals output from the bet button 18, the settlement button 19, the start lever 20 and the stop buttons 21a to 21c via a port (not shown). The information panel 30 is connected to the main board 40. The main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to control the display content of the information panel 30 via a drive circuit (not shown).

  Here, of the lottery tables stored in the main control ROM 40b, a winning combination lottery table used for internal lottery for determining a winning number from a plurality of winning numbers and the winning numbers will be described. The internal lottery for determining the winning number corresponds to the “role lottery”. The winning number determined in the role lottery is also called a condition device combination. Therefore, the role lottery can be said to be a “condition device combination lottery”. In the following description, “determining a predetermined winning number in the winning combination lottery” may be expressed as “winning a predetermined winning number in the winning combination lottery”.

  The winning number is control information in which one or a plurality of symbol combinations are defined as symbol combinations that can be derived (displayed) on the activated line YL. That is, the winning number is a condition device identifier in which one or more winning combinations are defined as winning combinations in the variable game. The winning numbers in the slot machine 10 include, for example, a winning number in which winning of the role of cherry is allowed, a winning number in which winning of the role of watermelon is allowed, a winning number in which winning of the role of bell is allowed, and a winning of re-playing role. Contains the winning numbers allowed.

  In the present embodiment, among the winning numbers in which the winning of the bell combination is allowed, there are the winning numbers in which the winning of the single winning combination is allowed in addition to the bell winning combination. Winning numbers that allow winning of the Bell role and single hand are allowed in the operation order of the stop buttons to press the Bell hand (push order) and the operation order of the stop buttons to win the single hand of the hand (Press Order), and different winning numbers are included. For example, among the winning numbers in which the winning of the winning combination of the bell combination and the one-piece combination is allowed, the bell combination is won when the stop button is operated in a predetermined operation sequence, while the operation different from the predetermined operation sequence is performed. If the stop button is operated in order, there is a winning number in which one hand wins.

  In the present embodiment, among the winning numbers that allow the winning of the re-game combination, there are winning numbers that allow only the winning of the normal re-playing combination. Further, among the winning numbers for which the winning of the re-gaming combination is allowed, there are winning numbers for which the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the specific re-gaming combination are allowed. For the winning numbers that allow winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the specific re-gaming combination, the operation order (pushing order) of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination and the operation for winning the specific re-gaming combination The winning numbers are different from the order (push order).

As shown in FIG. 6, in the slot machine 10, there are a total of six winning numbers T1 to T6 as winning numbers for which winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the specific re-gaming combination is permitted.
In the winning number T1, as the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination, "first pressing order" and "second pressing order", as the operation order of the stop button for winning the specific re-gaming combination "A pressing order other than the first pressing order and the second pressing order" is defined respectively. In the winning number T2, as the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination, "third pressing order" and "fourth pressing order", as the operation order of the stop button for winning the specific re-gaming combination “A pressing order other than the third pressing order and the fourth pressing order” is defined respectively. In the winning number T3, the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination is "5th pressing order" and "6th pressing order", and the operation order of the stop button for winning the specific re-gaming combination. “Pressing orders other than the fifth pressing order and the sixth pressing order” are respectively defined.

  In the winning number T4, the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination is “the pressing order other than the third pressing order and the fourth pressing order”, and the operation of the stop button for winning the specific re-gaming combination. As the order, "third pressing order" and "fourth pressing order" are defined, respectively. In the winning number T5, the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination is "the pressing order other than the fifth pressing order and the sixth pressing order", and the operation of the stop button for winning the specific re-gaming combination. As the order, "fifth pressing order" and "sixth pressing order" are defined, respectively. In the winning number T6, the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination is "the pressing order other than the first pressing order and the second pressing order", and the operation of the stop button for winning the specific re-gaming combination. As the order, “first pressing order” and “second pressing order” are defined, respectively.

  In this way, in the winning numbers T1 to T3 of the winning numbers T1 to T6, which are the “winning numbers in which the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the specific re-gaming combination is allowed”, the two pressings out of the six pressing orders. The order is usually defined as the pushing order for winning the replay combination. Therefore, when any one of the winning numbers T1 to T3 is won, the normal re-gaming combination is won by the two pressing sequences out of the six pressing sequences (the winning of the specific re-gaming combination). Can be avoided). That is, when one of the winning numbers T1 to T3 is won, avoiding the winning of the specific re-gaming combination at a rate of "1/3 (= 2/6)" Can be avoided).

  On the other hand, in the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning numbers T1 to T6, four kinds of pushing orders out of the six kinds of pushing orders are defined as the pushing order for winning the normal re-gaming combination. Therefore, when any one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 is won, the normal re-gaming combination can be won by the four pressing orders among the six pressing orders. That is, when one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 is won, the winning of the specific re-gaming combination can be avoided at a rate of "2/3 (= 4/6)". As described above, in the slot machine 10, the winning order T4 to T6 is the pressing order for winning the specific re-game combination when the winning number T1 to T3 is won from among the plurality of pressing orders. The number is larger than the pushing order for winning the specific re-game combination when one of the winning combinations is won.

  In the present embodiment, the specific re-play combination corresponds to the special end combination. In the present embodiment, winning any one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is equivalent to allowing the winning of a predetermined special ending combination. In the present embodiment, winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 in the winning lottery corresponds to the special ending drawing result. In addition, in the present embodiment, winning any one of the winning numbers T1 to T3 in the winning combination lottery corresponds to the first special ending drawing result. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, winning any one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 in the winning combination lottery corresponds to the second special ending drawing result. In the present embodiment, the second special end lottery result corresponds to the special end lottery result in which the probability of winning the special end hand is lower than that of the first special end lottery result.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation of the stop buttons in the pushing order to win the specific re-gaming combination corresponds to the stop operation in the specific order. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, operating the stop button in a push order different from the push order in order to win the specific re-play combination corresponds to stopping operation in an order different from the specific order. Therefore, in the present embodiment, among a plurality of stop operation sequences, when the lottery result of the role lottery is the first special end lottery result, the order of the stop operations that is the specific order is the lottery result of the role lottery. The number is larger than the order of the stop operation which is the specific order when the second special end lottery result is obtained.

  In the slot machine 10, regardless of whether the winning numbers T1 to T3 are won or the winning numbers T4 to T6, the operation sequence for winning the specific re-gaming combination When the stop button is operated at, the specific re-gaming combination is won. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, regardless of whether any one of the winning numbers T1 to T3 is won or any one of the winning numbers T4 to T6, the specific re-gaming combination is won. When the stop button is operated in an operation order different from the operation order, the specific re-game combination is not won. That is, in this embodiment, regardless of whether the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is the first special ending lottery result or the second special ending lottery result, the special ending winning combination is won when the stop operation is performed in the specific order. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in an order different from the specific order, the special end combination is not won.

  Further, among the winning numbers for which the winning of the re-gaming combination is allowed, there are winning numbers for which the winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the falling re-gaming combination are allowed. For the winning numbers that allow winning of the normal re-gaming role and the falling re-gaming role, the operation order (press order) of the stop buttons for winning the normal re-gaming role and the stop for winning the falling re-gaming role The winning order is different from the button operation order (push order). For example, among the winning numbers for which winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the falling re-gaming combination are allowed, if the stop button is operated in a predetermined operation sequence, the falling re-gaming combination is won, while the predetermined operation is performed. When the stop button is operated in an operation order different from the order, there is usually a winning number in which the re-gaming player wins. In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of "winning numbers in which winning of the normal re-gaming combination and the falling re-gaming combination is allowed", and the operation order of the stop button for winning the falling re-gaming combination is different depending on the winning number. ..

  Further, among the winning numbers for which the winning of the re-gaming combination is allowed, there are winning numbers for which the winning of the special re-gaming combination is allowed. The winning numbers for which the special re-play combination is allowed are the winning numbers for which the first special re-play combination is for winning, the winning numbers for which the second special re-play combination is for winning, and the third special. There is a winning number that allows winning of the re-gaming combination.

  In the following description, the case where the winning number for which the winning of the cherry role is permitted is won in the winning combination lottery is referred to as “the case where the winning of the cherry role is allowed”. In addition, the case where the winning number that allows the winning of the watermelon part is won in the part lottery is shown as "the case where the winning of the watermelon part is allowed". Similarly, the case where the winning number for which the winning of the Bell role is allowed is won in the winning role lottery is shown as "the case where the winning of the Bell role is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning number of the re-gaming combination is allowed in the role lottery is shown as "the case where the winning of the re-gaming combination is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning numbers of the normal re-playing combination and the specific re-playing combination are allowed in the winning combination lottery are shown as “when the winning of the specific re-playing combination is allowed”. In addition, the case where the winning numbers of the normal re-gaming combination and the falling re-gaming combination are allowed in the winning combination lottery are shown as “the case where the winning of the falling re-gaming combination is allowed”. In addition, the case where the winning number of the special re-game combination is allowed in the combination lottery is shown as "the case where the special re-game combination is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning number of the first special re-playing combination is allowed in the combination lottery is shown as "the case where the winning of the first special re-playing combination is allowed". Further, the case where the winning number of the second special re-gaming combination is allowed in the combination lottery is shown as "the case where the winning of the second special re-gaming combination is allowed". In addition, the case where the winning number of the third special re-game combination is allowed in the combination lottery is shown as "the case where the third special re-game combination is allowed".

There are a plurality of types of role lottery tables in the slot machine 10. In the slot machine 10, a winning combination lottery table corresponding to the gaming state is used in winning combination lottery.
As shown in FIG. 7, the role lottery table in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the role lottery table YTb, YTw, YTg, YTr used in the bonus game state, and the role used in the game state other than the bonus game state. There are lottery tables YT1 to YT9.

  The role lottery table YTb is used in the role lottery when it is controlled to the blue bonus game state. The role lottery table YTw is used in the role lottery when it is controlled to the white bonus game state. The role lottery table YTg is used in the role lottery when it is controlled to the green bonus game state. The role lottery table YTr is used in the role lottery when the red bonus game state is controlled. In the present embodiment, different role lottery tables are used for each bonus game state, but a common role lottery table is used for some or all of the plurality of types of bonus game states. May be.

  The role lottery table YT1 is used in the role lottery when it is controlled to the normal game state. The role lottery table YT2 is used in the role lottery when the carry-over game state is controlled. The role lottery table YT3 is used in the role lottery when controlled to the first preparatory game state. The role lottery table YT4 is used in the role lottery when controlled to the second preparatory game state. The role lottery table YT5 is used in the role lottery when controlled to the third preparation game state. The winning combination lottery table YT6 is used in the winning combination lottery when controlled to the first highly accurate state. The winning combination lottery table YT7 is used in the winning combination lottery when controlled to the second highly accurate state. The winning combination lottery table YT8 is used in the winning combination lottery when controlled to the third highly accurate state. The winning combination lottery table YT9 is used in the winning combination lottery when controlled to the fourth highly accurate state.

  In the role lottery table, the value of the random number used in the role lottery (hereinafter, referred to as “role lottery random number”) is the value within the range that can be taken as the value of the random number, for the winning numbers that can be determined. It is distributed by a predetermined number from the inside. In the slot machine 10, when no winning number has been won in the winning combination lottery, that is, when the winning of the winning combination is not permitted, the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is “miss”. Then, when the lottery result of the winning lottery is “out”, the symbol combination in which the prize is set is not derived on the activated line YL based on the lottery result of the winning lottery. However, when the winning of the bonus combination is allowed and the lottery result of the combination lottery is “out of order”, the bonus combination may be won. In the present embodiment, different role lottery tables are used for each game state other than the bonus game state, but a common role lottery table is used for some or all of the game states other than the bonus game state. It may be configured to be used.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the combination lottery tables YT6 to YT9, compared to the combination lottery tables YT1 to YT5, the combination of the determination rates of the winning numbers for which the winning of the re-game combination is allowed is increased. The value of the random number for lottery is distributed. In addition, in the role lottery tables YT1 to YT5, the role lottery tables YTb, YTw, YTg, and YTr are compared with the role lottery tables YTb, YTw, YTg, and YTr so that the probability of summing the determination rate of the winning numbers in which the winning of the re-game combination is allowed increases. The value of the random number for use is distributed.

  Incidentally, in the role lottery tables YTb, YTw, YTg, and YTr, the probability of adding up the determination rate of the winning numbers in which the winning of the re-gaming combination is allowed is lower than in the role lottery tables YT1 to YT9, but the role lottery table. YTb, YTw, YTg, and YTr do not mean that the gaming state used in the winning combination lottery is disadvantageous. In the role lottery tables YTb, YTw, YTg, and YTr, compared to the role lottery tables YT1 to YT9, the random number for the role lottery is increased so that the probability of summing the determination rates of the winning numbers in which the winning of the payout combination is allowed is increased. The values are distributed. Therefore, in the slot machine 10, the bonus game state in which the combination lottery tables YTb, YTw, YTg, and YTr are used in the combination lottery is easier to obtain medals than other game states and is in an advantageous game state.

  Further, in the role lottery tables YT6 to YT8, the values of the role lottery random numbers are distributed so that the winning numbers T1 to T6 in which the winning of the specific re-game combination is allowed can be won. On the other hand, in the role lottery tables other than the role lottery tables YT6 to YT8, the values of the role lottery random numbers are distributed so that the winning numbers T1 to T6 cannot be won. That is, in the slot machine 10, the winning numbers T1 to T6 are won when the gaming machines are controlled to the first highly reliable state, the second highly reliable state and the third highly reliable state among the highly reliable gaming states. On the other hand, while being controlled to the fourth highly accurate state, none of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is won.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the winning combination lottery table YT6, the value of the winning combination lottery random number is distributed such that the winning probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is “probability Xa”. Further, in the winning combination lottery table YT6, the winning probabilities of winning any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 out of the winning probabilities of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 become “proportion Ya”. The value of the random number for lottery is distributed. In FIG. 9, the “probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6” is shown as “the winning probability of the winning numbers T1 to T6”. Further, in FIG. 9, the "proportion of the winning probability of winning any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 in the winning probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6" is defined as "the winning probability of the winning numbers T1 to T6. Of the winning numbers T4 to T6.

  On the other hand, in the winning combination lottery table YT7, the value of the winning combination lottery random number is distributed so that the winning probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is “probability Xb”. In the present embodiment, the “probability Xb” has a lower probability than the “probability Xa” (Xb <Xa). Therefore, in the slot machine 10, when it is controlled to the second high-accuracy state, compared to when it is controlled to the first high-accuracy state, it is more difficult to allow the winning of the specific re-gaming combination, It is easy to avoid winning a specific re-game role.

  Further, in the winning combination lottery table YT7, the winning probabilities of winning any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 out of the winning probabilities of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 are “proportion Yb”. The value of the random number for lottery is distributed. In the present embodiment, the “ratio Yb” is larger than the “ratio Ya” (Yb> Ya). Therefore, when controlled in the second highly accurate state, it is possible to avoid winning the specific re-gaming combination among the winning numbers T1 to T6, as compared with when controlled in the first highly accurate state. It is easy to win the winning numbers T4 to T6 with a high ratio, and it is easy to avoid winning the specific re-game combination.

  As described above, when controlled in the second highly reliable state, the probability of winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is lower than when controlled in the first highly reliable state. Of the winning numbers T1 to T6, the percentage of winning the winning numbers T4 to T6 is small. For this reason, when the second high-accuracy state is controlled, it is more difficult to win the specific re-gaming combination than when the second high-accuracy state is controlled.

  Further, in the winning combination lottery table YT8, the values of the winning combination lottery random numbers are distributed such that the winning probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is “probability Xc”. In the present embodiment, the “probability Xc” has a lower probability than the “probability Xb” (Xc <Xb <Xa). Therefore, in the slot machine 10, when it is controlled to the third high-accuracy state, compared to when it is controlled to the second high-accuracy state, it is difficult to allow the winning of the specific re-game combination, It is easy to avoid winning a specific re-game role.

  Further, in the winning combination lottery table YT8, the proportion of the winning probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 to the winning probability of winning one of the winning numbers of T4 to T6 is “proportion Yb”. That is, when controlled to the second highly reliable state and controlled to the third highly reliable state, one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning probabilities of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6. The percentage of winning probabilities to win is the same. Therefore, when controlled to the third high-accuracy state, as in the case of being controlled to the second high-accuracy state, as compared to when controlled to the first high-accuracy state, the winning numbers T1 to Among T6, it is easy to win the winning numbers T4 to T6, which have a high rate of avoiding the winning of the specific re-play combination.

  As described above, when controlled in the third highly reliable state, it is difficult to win any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 as compared to when controlled in the first highly reliable state, and the winning number T1 Among T6 to T6, the percentage of winning the winning numbers T4 to T6 is high. Therefore, when controlled to the third high-accuracy state, it is more difficult to win the specific re-gaming combination than when controlled to the first high-accuracy state. Further, when controlled to the third high-accuracy state, any one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning probabilities to be won to any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 when controlled to the second high-accuracy state. Although the proportions of the winning probabilities to be won are the same, it is more difficult to win any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 than when the second highly accurate state is controlled. Therefore, when controlled to the third high-accuracy state, it is more difficult to win the specific re-gaming combination than when controlled to the second high-accuracy state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, in the role lottery table YT3 of the role lottery tables YT3 to YT5, the winning of the falling re-game combination can be allowed (in FIG. 10, shown as “allowable”). Random number values are distributed. On the other hand, in the role lottery tables YT4 and YT5 among the role lottery tables YT3 to YT5, the value of the role lottery random number is set so that the winning of the falling re-game combination cannot be allowed (in FIG. 10, it is shown as “non-permissible”). Are distributed.

  In addition, in the role lottery tables YT3 to YT9, the values of the role lottery random numbers are distributed so as to win the winning numbers in which the winning of the special re-game combination is allowed. That is, the winning of the special re-game combination is allowed when the game is controlled in the preparatory game state and the high-precision state.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the role lottery table YT3, the values of the role lottery random numbers are distributed such that the winning probability of winning the winning number of the special re-game winning combination is “probability Za”. There is. Further, in the role lottery table YT4, the value of the role lottery random number is distributed so that the winning probability of winning the winning number of the special re-gaming combination is “probability Zb”. In the present embodiment, the “probability Zb” has a higher probability than the “probability Za” (Zb> Za). Therefore, when the second preparatory game state is controlled, the special re-gaming combination is easier to win than when it is controlled to the first preparatory game state. In FIG. 10, the “probability of winning the winning number of the special re-gaming combination” is shown as the “probability of winning the special re-gaming combination”.

  Further, in the role lottery table YT5, the value of the role lottery random number is distributed so that the winning probability of winning the winning number of the special re-game combination is "probability Zc". In the present embodiment, the “probability Zc” has a higher probability than the “probability Zb” (Zc> Zb> Za). Therefore, when the game is controlled to the third preparatory game state, the special re-gaming combination is easier to win than when it is controlled to the second preparatory game state.

  Further, in the winning lottery table YT3, a value of the winning random number for winning the special re-gaming combination is selected so that the winning number of the third special re-playing combination can be won. Are distributed. On the other hand, in the winning combination lottery table YT3, among the winning numbers for which the winning of the special re-playing combination is allowed, the winning numbers for which the winning of the first special re-playing combination is permitted and the winnings where the winning of the second special re-playing combination is permitted The value of the random number of the part lottery is not distributed so that the number cannot be won.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 11, in the slot machine 10, when the game is controlled to the first preparatory game state, the third special re-playing combination of the first special re-playing combination to the third special re-playing combination is won. Permissible. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the first preparatory game state, the winning of the first special replay role and the second special replay role among the first special replay role to the third special replay role Not acceptable.

  In the winning combination lottery table YT4, a winning number in which the winning of the first special re-playing combination is permitted, a winning number in which the winning of the second special re-playing combination is permitted, and a winning number in which the winning of the third special re-playing combination is permitted. The values of the random numbers for the part lottery are distributed so that all of the winning numbers can be won. That is, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the second preparatory game state, the winning of any special re-gaming combination of the first special re-gaming combination to the third special re-gaming combination can be permitted.

  In the role lottery table YT5, a winning number in which the winning of the first special re-playing combination is permitted, a winning number in which the winning of the second special re-playing combination is permitted, and a winning number in which the winning of the third special re-playing combination is permitted. The values of the random numbers for the part lottery are distributed so that all of the winning numbers can be won. That is, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the third preparatory game state, the winning of any special re-play combination of the first special re-play combination to the third special re-play combination can be permitted.

  By the way, the number of the random numbers for the role lottery distributed to the winning numbers in which the winning of the third special re-game combination is allowed in the role lottery table YT3 is the third special re-game in the role lottery table YT4 and the role lottery table YT5. The number is smaller than the number of random numbers for the role lottery assigned to the winning numbers in which the winning of the role is allowed. That is, in the slot machine 10, the probability that the winning of the third special re-play combination is allowed when controlled to the first preparation game state is the third special reproduction when controlled to the second preparation game state. It is lower than the probability that the winning of the game combination is allowed and the probability that the winning of the third special re-gaming combination is allowed when being controlled to the third preparation game state.

  In addition, the number of random number for the role lottery distributed to the winning numbers in which the winning of the third special re-playing combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery table YT5, the winning of the third special re-playing combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery table YT5. The number is larger than the number of random numbers for winning a lottery assigned to the winning number. That is, in the slot machine 10, the probability that the winning of the third special re-play combination is allowed when controlled to the third preparatory game state is the third special replay when controlled to the second preparatory game state. It is higher than the probability of winning the winning combination of a player.

  In addition, in the winning combination lottery table YT6, among the winning numbers for which the winning of the special re-playing combination is permitted, the winning numbers for which the winning of the second special re-playing combination is permitted and the winnings for which the winning of the third special re-playing combination is permitted The numbers of the random numbers for the role lottery are assigned to the numbers so that the numbers can be won. On the other hand, in the winning lottery table YT6, the winning lottery random number value is set so that the winning number that allows the winning of the first special playing game is not winable among the winning numbers that allow winning of the special playing game. Is not assigned. That is, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the first high-accuracy state, the winning of the second special re-playing combination and the third special re-playing combination among the first special re-playing combination to the third special re-playing combination is won. Can be acceptable. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when controlled to the first high-accuracy state, the winning of the first special re-play combination among the first special re-play combination to the third special re-play combination is not allowed.

  In the winning lottery table YT7, the value of the winning lottery random number is distributed so that the winning number in which the third special re-playing combination is allowed is won among the winning numbers in which the special re-playing combination is allowed. Has been. On the other hand, in the winning combination lottery table YT7, among the winning numbers for which the special re-game combination is allowed, the winning numbers for which the first special re-game combination is allowed and the second special re-game combination are permitted are selected. The value of the random number of the part lottery is not distributed so that the number cannot be won. That is, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the second high-accuracy state, the winning of the third special re-play combination among the first special re-play combination to the third special re-play combination can be allowed. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the second high-accuracy state, the winning of the first special re-playing role and the second special re-playing role among the first special re-playing role to the third special re-playing role Not acceptable.

  In the winning lottery table YT8, the winning random numbers for the special re-playing combination are distributed so that the winning numbers for the third special re-playing combination can be won. Has been. On the other hand, in the winning combination lottery table YT8, the winning numbers in which the winning of the first special replaying role is allowed and the winnings of the winning in the second special replaying role are permitted among the winning numbers in which the winning of the special replaying role is permitted. The value of the random number of the part lottery is not distributed so that the number cannot be won. That is, in the slot machine 10, when controlled to the third high-accuracy state, the winning of the third special re-play combination among the first special re-play combination to the third special re-play combination can be allowed. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the third high-accuracy state, the winning of the first special re-playing role and the second special re-playing role among the first special re-playing role to the third special re-playing role Not acceptable.

That is, in the slot machine 10, when being controlled to the fourth high-accuracy state, winning of any special re-play combination among the first special re-play combination to the third special re-play combination can be permitted.

Next, the sub-board 41 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a, a sub-control ROM 41b, and a sub-control RAM 41c. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a executes various processes (for example, processes relating to effects) by executing the sub-control program. The sub-control ROM 41b stores a sub-control program, a lottery table used for lottery, a determination value, and the like. The sub-control ROM 41b stores the light emission effect data regarding the light emission effect on the decoration lamp 13. The sub-control ROM 41b stores sound effect data regarding sound effects in the speaker 14. The sub-control ROM 41b stores display effect data regarding display effects on the effect display device 15.

  The sub-control RAM 41c is configured to be able to store various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10. The information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c includes, for example, a flag, a counter, and a timer. The sub-board 41 is configured to be able to generate random numbers. For example, the random number may be generated as a hardware random number by mounting a random number generation circuit that updates the value of the random number in a predetermined cycle on the sub-board 41, and the sub-control CPU 41a generates the random number in a predetermined control cycle. It may be generated as a software random number by updating the value of.

  The decorative lamp 13, the speaker 14, and the effect display device 15 are connected to the sub-board 41. The sub-control CPU 41a is configured to be able to control the decoration lamp 13, the speaker 14, and the effect display device 15 via a drive circuit (not shown).

Hereinafter, the process relating to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives a detection signal indicating that it has been operated from various buttons or the like, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control defined by the detection signal. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes display control of the information panel 30 each time by input of various detection signals and various controls. When paying out medals, the main control CPU 40a controls the hopper unit to eject medals when the number of credits exceeds the upper limit. The main control CPU 40a controls the hopper unit so as to eject medals for credit when paying for credit.

  When the detection signal output from the insertion sensor SE4 is input, the main control CPU 40a can specify that the detection signal output from the insertion sensor SE4 has been input, that is, that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 17. Store control information in the output buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a inputs the detection signals output from the bet button 18, the settlement button 19, the start lever 20, and the stop buttons 21a to 21c, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information capable of specifying that the detection signals have been input. To store. For example, when the detection signal output from the settlement button 19 is input, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information capable of specifying that the detection signal from the settlement button 19 has been input, that is, that the settlement button 19 has been operated. Store in buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the interrupt processing after the next time.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the bet number when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 17 or a detection signal from the bet button 18 is input. When the bet number is set, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a "bet number setting command") capable of specifying that the bet number has been set in the output buffer.

  The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits according to the operation of the bet button 18. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when increasing the number of credits by inserting medals. Then, by setting the number of bets that can start the variable game, the variable game startable condition that allows the variable game to be started is satisfied.

  Subsequently, when the detection signal from the start lever 20 is input in the state where the game can be started, the main control CPU 40a performs a winning combination lottery. The main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the random number for role lottery, and based on the value of the random number for role lottery, refers to the role lottery table according to the gaming state and performs the role lottery. In this way, the winning combination lottery is triggered by the start operation. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs the winning combination lottery, thereby realizing a function as a winning combination lottery means.

  When the winning number is won in the winning lottery, the main controlling CPU 40a stores winning information capable of specifying the winning number in the main controlling RAM 40c. When the winning number is won in the winning combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a "winning command") that can specify the winning number in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a erases the winning information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the variable game ends.

  The main control CPU 40a controls the reels 16a to 16c to start rotating upon the input of the detection signal from the start lever 20 to start the variation game. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information indicating the start of the variable game (hereinafter, referred to as "variable game start command") in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a controls the reels 16a to 16c to start rotating in a situation where the wait time has elapsed. Subsequently, when the detection signal from the stop button is input, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the detection signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps the information on the rotation position and the stop position of each reel based on the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each reel 16a to 16c. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to specify the rotation status of each reel that is rotating, while causing the main control CPU 40a to specify the stop status of each reel that is stopped.

Next, the stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of each reel within a predetermined range (for example, a maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button is operated based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery, and stops the symbol combination ( Derive the game results). When stopping each rotating reel, the main control CPU 40a stores the stop control stored in the main control ROM 40b according to the lottery result of the combination lottery and the operation mode (operation sequence or operation timing) of the stop button. Based on the control data for, the rotation of the reel is stopped and the symbol is stopped. In this way, the main control CPU 40a controls the reel stop according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the operation mode of the stop button. Even if the lottery result of the combination lottery is the same, the main control CPU 40a may perform stop control by using different control data for stop control depending on the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button.

  For example, when the winning of the bell combination is allowed, the main control CPU 40a causes the bell stop eye to be drawn out on the activated line YL when the stop button is operated in the operation order for winning the bell combination. Then, the rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a spills a bell on the activated line YL when the winning of the bell combination is allowed and the stop button is operated in an operation order different from the operation order for winning the bell combination. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so as to bring out the stop eye.

  Similarly, for example, when the main control CPU 40a wins one of the winning numbers T1 to T6, when the stop button is operated in the operation sequence for winning the normal re-gaming combination, The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so that the normal re-game stop line is led to the effective line YL. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning any one of the winning numbers T1 to T6, when the stop button is operated in the operation sequence for winning the specific re-game combination, the effective line YL The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so that the specific re-game stop eye is derived above.

  Incidentally, the main control CPU 40a, in the case where the lottery result of the combination lottery is out of alignment and the winning of the bonus combination is not allowed, the reels 16a to 16c are arranged so as to derive a shift stop line on the activated line YL. Stop the rotation of. No prize has been set for the off-stop. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order and the winning of the bonus winning combination is permitted, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the winning line is valid or not according to at least one of the operation sequence and the operation timing of the stop button. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so that the bonus stop eye or the off stop eye is led out on the YL.

  For example, when the winning of the red bonus combination is permitted and the lottery result of the combination lottery is out of alignment, the main control CPU 40a operates the stop button at the operation timing for deriving the red bonus stop eye. At this time, the rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so as to bring out the red bonus stop eye on the activated line YL. On the other hand, when the winning of the red bonus combination is permitted and the lottery result of the combination lottery is out of alignment, the main control CPU 40a stops at an operation timing different from the operation timing for deriving the red bonus stop eye. When the button is operated, the rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so that the shift stop line is led to the effective line YL.

  Then, when the rotation of all the reels 16a to 16c is stopped, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the symbol combination when the symbol combination stopped on the activated line YL is a symbol combination permitted to be stopped on the activated line YL. On the other hand, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a, when determining the winning of the symbol combination (combination) that is allowed to be stopped on the activated line YL, performs the control of giving the prize defined to the symbol combination.

  For example, the main control CPU 40a performs control to give a predetermined number of medals when determining the winning of the payout combination. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when determining the winning of the re-game combination, performs control to give a re-game. As a control for giving a replay, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game in which the winning is determined. Further, when determining the winning of the symbol combination (winning combination), the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as "winning instruction command") instructing the symbol combination determined as winning in the output buffer.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a controls the transition of the game state. Although the specific control will be described later, the main control CPU 40a shifts the game state by updating the game state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. Further, when the main control CPU 40a updates the game state information of the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as "game state command") capable of specifying the updated game state in the output buffer.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a controls the transition of the effect state. Although specific control will be described later, the main control CPU 40a shifts the effect state by updating the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. In addition, when the main control CPU 40a updates the effect state information, the main control CPU 40a stores control information capable of specifying the updated effect state (hereinafter, referred to as "effect state command") in the output buffer.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a may notify the operation mode of the stop button. Then, when notifying the operation mode of the stop button, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit 37 to display operation information. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a displays information that can specify the operation order of the stop buttons among the operation modes of the stop buttons. When notifying the operation mode of the stop button, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as "operation mode command") capable of specifying the operation mode of the stop button to be notified, in the output buffer.

Next, the process relating to the variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various control information such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the decoration lamp 13, the speaker 14, and the decoration lamp 13 are executed so that various effects are executed based on the content instructed by the control information. At least one of the effect display devices 15 is controlled.

  When the game status command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the sub-control RAM 41c with the sub-game status information indicating the game status being controlled by the main-control CPU 40a. When the effect state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores, in the sub control RAM 41c, the sub effect state information indicating the effect state that the main control CPU 40a is controlling. Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the production state that can be specified from the sub production state information.

  Further, when the operation mode command is input, the sub control CPU 41a causes a navigation effect that notifies the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the navigation effect based on the winning command and the operation mode command. The control regarding the navigation effect will be described later.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a can specify from the operation mode command when the winning of the bell role is allowed in the role lottery in the advantageous effect state (the trick effect state, the second effect state and the instep effect state). The effect display device 15 is controlled so that the navigation effect that notifies the operation mode of the stop button is executed. At this time, the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command is the push order for winning the bell combination. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 41a is in an advantageous effect state, and when the winning of the bell combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery, a navigation effect of notifying the pressing order for winning the bell combination is executed. The display device 15 is controlled.

Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 15 so that the question mark effect is executed when the winning of the falling re-game combination is allowed in the role lottery in the trick effect state.
In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the question mark effect when the winning of the specific re-game combination is allowed in the winning combination lottery in the second effect state (when one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is won). The effect display device 15 is controlled to be performed. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the navigation effect informing the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command when the winning of the specific re-game combination is allowed in the combination lottery in the instep production state. The effect display device 15 is controlled to be performed. At this time, the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command is the pushing order for winning the normal replay combination. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 41a is in the instep production state, and when the winning of the specific re-playing combination is allowed in the combination lottery, the pushing order for winning the normal re-playing combination (that is, of the specific re-playing combination) The effect display device 15 is controlled so as to execute the navigation effect informing of the press order for avoiding winning.

Here, the game property of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, based on FIG. 16, a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state will be described. The "transition route from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state" corresponds to the "state transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state control".

  In the slot machine 10, as a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state, there is a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the first preparation state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal state to the control of the advantageous state includes the transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state via the first specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal state to the control of the advantageous state includes the transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state via the third advantageous pre-state. Then, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the first preparation state corresponds to the first transition path. In addition, in the present embodiment, the transition route from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the first preparation state corresponds to a non-specific transition route.

  In the transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the first preparation state, before the transition to the first preparation state, the blue bonus effect state (blue bonus game state) is passed. That is, in the transition path where the normal effect state is shifted to the advantageous effect state via the first ready state, the first ready state is controlled after being controlled to the blue bonus game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first specific state in the first transition path is controlled after being controlled to the first bonus state. Further, in the present embodiment, the third pre-advantageous state on the non-specific transition route is controlled after being controlled to the first bonus state.

  Further, after the completion of the first preparation state, the production state is controlled to any one of a normal production state, a side production state and a second production state. By the way, when the bonus combination is won in the first preparation state, it is controlled to the bonus effect state according to the won bonus combination without controlling any of the normal effect state, the Hei effect state and the second effect state. .

  Further, in the slot machine 10, as a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state, there is a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the second preparation state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal state to the control of the advantageous state includes the transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state via the second specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal state to the control of the advantageous state includes the transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state via the first pre-advantageous state. Then, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the second preparation state corresponds to the second transition path. In addition, in the present embodiment, the transition route from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the second preparation state corresponds to the first specific transition route.

  In the transition path from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the second preparation state, before the transition to the second preparation state, the white bonus production state (white bonus game state) or the green bonus production state (green bonus) Game state). That is, in the transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the second ready state, the second ready state is controlled after being controlled to the white bonus game state or the green bonus game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second specific state in the second transition path is controlled after being controlled to the second bonus state. Further, in the present embodiment, the first pre-advantageous state in the first specific transition path is controlled after being controlled to the second bonus state.

  In addition, after the end of the second preparation state, the production state is controlled to any one of the Hei production state and the second production state. By the way, when the bonus combination is won in the second preparation state, the bonus performance state is controlled according to the won bonus combination, without controlling either the 丙 production state or the second production state.

  In the slot machine 10, the white bonus game state ends on the condition that "60 coins" are paid out, while the green bonus game state ends on the condition that "262 coins" are paid out. To do. That is, when the green bonus game state is controlled, the number of medals paid out during the bonus game state is larger than when the white bonus game state is controlled, and the bonus game state is controlled. It can be said that the profit that can be obtained within the period is large. As described above, in the slot machine 10, there are a plurality of types of bonus game states that are controlled prior to the second preparation state in the transition route from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the second preparation state, Depending on the type of the bonus game state, the profit that can be obtained within the period in which the bonus game state is controlled is different. As described above, in the present embodiment, the profit that can be obtained within the period in which the second bonus state is controlled differs depending on the type of the second bonus state.

  Further, in the slot machine 10, the blue bonus game state is ended on the condition that "60" medals have been paid out, similarly to the white bonus game state. That is, when the blue bonus game state is controlled, the profit that can be obtained within the period of being controlled to the bonus game state is the medal paid out during the bonus game state when the white bonus game state is controlled. The number of sheets is the same. Therefore, while the blue bonus game state and the white bonus game state have the same profit that can be obtained within the period in which the bonus game state is controlled, the preparation effect state controlled after the bonus game state ends is different.

  Further, in the slot machine 10, as a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state, there is a transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the third preparation state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal state to the control of the advantageous state includes the transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state via the third specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal state to the control of the advantageous state includes the transition path from the normal state to the advantageous state via the second pre-advantageous state. Then, in the present embodiment, the transition path from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the third preparation state corresponds to the third transition path. In addition, in the present embodiment, the transition route from the normal production state to the advantageous production state via the third preparation state corresponds to the second specific transition route.

  In the transition path from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the third preparation state, before the transition to the third preparation state, the red bonus effect state (red bonus game state) is passed. That is, in the transition route from the normal effect state to the advantageous effect state via the third ready state, the third ready state is controlled after being controlled to the red bonus game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the third specific state in the third transition path is controlled after being controlled to the third bonus state. Further, in the present embodiment, the second pre-advantageous state in the second specific transition path is controlled after being controlled to the third bonus state.

  In addition, after the end of the third preparation state, the second stage state is controlled. Incidentally, when the bonus combination is won in the third preparation state, the bonus effect state is controlled according to the won bonus combination without being controlled to the second effect state.

Next, the preparation effect state will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18.
As shown in FIG. 17, the first preparation state is controlled with an upper limit period until the fluctuating game is executed 15 times in the first preparation state. Further, the second preparation state is controlled with the upper limit period being until the variable game is executed five times in the second preparation state. In addition, the third preparation state is controlled with an upper limit period until one variation game is played in the third preparation state.

  In the first preparation state, when the fall replay combination wins, the state shifts to the normal effect state. Further, in the first preparation state, when the special re-gaming combination is won, the state shifts to the second-person production state. In the first preparation state, the winning can be won only in the third special re-play combination of the first special re-play combination to the third special re-play combination. Therefore, in the first preparation state, when the third special re-gaming combination is won, the state shifts to the third second effect state. Then, in the first preparation state, when the fluctuating game is played 15 times without winning any of the falling re-playing combination and the special re-playing combination, the state shifts to the sub-production state.

  In the second preparation state, the falling re-gaming role does not win, and in the second preparation state, the falling re-gaming part does not win and does not shift to the normal effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second specific state or the second preparatory state corresponding to the first advantageous front state is controlled, the winning of the falling re-playing combination as the specific ending combination may be permitted. Absent. In addition, in the second preparation state, when the special re-gaming combination is won, the state shifts to the second stage state. At this time, the state shifts to the second-stage production state according to the type of the special re-game combination that won. Specifically, in the second preparation state, when the first special re-gaming combination wins, the state shifts to the first second effect state. In the second preparation state, when the second special re-gaming combination wins the prize, the game moves to the second B-game production state, and when the third special re-game combination wins, the game moves to the third B-game production state. Then, in the slot machine 10, in the second preparation state, when the variable game is played five times without winning the special re-gaming combination, the game state shifts to the trick production state.

  The first preparation state and the second preparation state have a common game property in that, when the special re-gaming combination does not win before the upper limit period is reached, the game state shifts to the 丙 production state. On the other hand, in the first preparation state, if the falling re-game player wins before reaching the upper limit period, the state shifts to the normal effect state, but in the second preparation state, winning of the falling re-game player is allowed in the first place. Never. In other words, the second preparation state has a game property of simply “shifting to the tricking state when the special re-gaming combination does not win before reaching the upper limit period”. On the other hand, in the first preparation state, there is a game characteristic that "when the special re-playing role does not win, while avoiding the winning of the falling re-playing role, the state shifts to the trick production state". As described above, the game characteristics are different between the first preparation state and the second preparation state.

  In the third preparation state, the falling re-playing role does not win, and in the third preparation state, the falling re-playing role does not win and does not shift to the normal effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the third preparatory state corresponding to the third specific state or the second advantageous previous state is controlled, the winning of the falling re-playing combination as the specific ending combination may be permitted. Absent. Further, in the third preparation state, when the special re-gaming combination is won, the state shifts to the second-player production state. At this time, the state shifts to the second-stage production state according to the type of the special re-game combination that won. Specifically, in the third preparation state, when the first special re-gaming combination is won, the state shifts to the first second effect state. Further, in the third preparation state, when the second special re-gaming combination wins the prize, the state shifts to the second B-game production state, and when the third special re-gaming combination wins, it shifts to the third B-game production state. In addition, in the slot machine 10, even if the special re-game combination is not won in the third preparation state, the state shifts to the first B second production state in the second B production state. In this way, in the slot machine 10, when the game player shifts to the third preparation state, even if the special re-gaming combination does not win in the third preparation state, the slot machine 10 shifts to the second effect state.

  The second preparatory state and the third preparatory state have a common game property in that they do not directly shift to the normal effect state. On the other hand, in the second preparation state, it is not possible to shift to the second production state unless the special re-game role is won, but in the third preparation state, it is possible to shift to the second production state even if the special re-game role is not won. You can In other words, the third preparation state has a game characteristic that "it is definitely decided to shift to the second party state, and the type of second party state is determined by the type of the special re-game combination won". There is. On the other hand, in the second preparation state, there is a game property that "if the special re-gaming combination is not won, the player cannot shift to the second effect state and shifts to the second generation state". As described above, the game characteristics are different between the second preparation state and the third preparation state.

  After being controlled to the first preparation state, there are a case where it is controlled to an advantageous effect state and a case where it is controlled to a normal effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, after being controlled to the first preparatory state as the first specific state (third advantageous pre-state), it is controlled to the advantageous effect state as the advantageous state and to the normal state. There is a case where the normal effect state is controlled. On the other hand, after being controlled to the second preparation state, there are a case where it is controlled to a trick production state and a case where it is controlled to a second party production state, but it is controlled to an advantageous production state.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the second preparation state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the first preparation state. High. As described above, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the second specific state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the first specific state. . That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the first advantageous front state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the third advantageous pre-state. .

  Further, after being controlled to the third preparation state, it is controlled to the advantageous effect state. Therefore, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous effect state after being controlled to the third preparation state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous effect state after being controlled to the first preparation state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the third specific state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the first specific state. . That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the second advantageous pre-state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the third advantageous pre-state. .

  As described above, in the slot machine 10, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the second preparation state and the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the third preparation state are , Higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous effect state after being controlled to the first preparation state. That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the first advantageous front state and the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state after being controlled to the second advantageous pre-state are the third. It is higher than the degree of expectation that the advantageous state is controlled after the advantageous state is controlled.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, in the slot machine 10, the special re-gaming combination is won when the player is in the first ready state, as compared to when it is in the second ready state or the third ready state. The probability of acceptance is low. Further, in the slot machine 10, the probability that the special re-game combination is allowed to be won is lower in the second preparation state than in the third preparation state.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 18, in the slot machine 10, the probability of winning the special re-gaming combination is higher in the second preparation state than in the first preparation state. In the slot machine 10, the probability of winning the special re-gaming combination is higher in the third preparation state than in the second preparation state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning the special combination is higher in the second specific state than in the first specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning the special combination is higher in the first pre-advantageous state than in the third pre-advantageous state. In addition, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning the special combination is higher in the third specific state than in the second specific state. That is, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning the special combination is higher in the second pre-advantageous state than in the first pre-advantageous state.

  In addition, after being controlled to the third preparation state, it is controlled to the second effect state. On the other hand, after being controlled to the first preparation state and after being controlled to the second preparation state, it may be controlled to the second effect state or may not be controlled to the second effect state. Therefore, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the second stage state after being controlled to the third preparation state is higher than that of being controlled to the second stage state after being controlled to the first preparation state. It is higher than the expectation that it will be controlled to the second party state after being controlled. As described above, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation that the special advantageous state is controlled after being controlled to the third specific state is higher than the degree of expectation that the special advantageous state is controlled after being controlled to the second specific state. High. That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the second advantageous precondition is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the first advantageous prestate. High. Further, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation that the special advantageous state is controlled after being controlled to the third specific state is higher than the degree of expectation that the special advantageous state is controlled after being controlled to the first specific state. . That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the second advantageous front state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the third advantageous pre-state. High.

  Further, in the slot machine 10, when in the first preparation state, the winning is allowed only for the third special re-playing combination among the first special re-playing combination to the third special re-playing combination. Then, the probability that the winning of the third special re-gaming combination is allowed in the first preparation state is lower than the probability that the winning of the third special re-playing combination is allowed in the second preparation state. For this reason, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the second stage state after being controlled to the second preparation state is higher than that of being controlled to the second stage state after being controlled to the first stage state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the second specific state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the first specific state. High. That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the first advantageous state is higher than the degree of expectation to be controlled to the special advantageous state after being controlled to the third advantageous state. High.

  In the slot machine 10, the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state is shorter than the upper limit period controlled in the first preparation state. In other words, in the slot machine 10, the upper limit period controlled in the first preparation state is longer than the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state. Further, in the slot machine 10, the upper limit period controlled in the third preparation state is shorter than the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state. In other words, in the slot machine 10, the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state is longer than the upper limit period controlled in the third preparation state.

  As described above, the third preparation state has a higher expectation of being controlled to the second effect state and a higher advantage than the first preparation state and the second preparation state. Further, the second preparation state has a higher degree of expectation of being controlled to the second-person production state and a higher degree of advantage than the first preparation state. On the other hand, the upper limit period controlled in the third preparation state is shorter than the upper limit period controlled in the first preparation state and the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state. Further, the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state is shorter than the upper limit period controlled in the first preparation state.

Next, the advantageous effect state will be described.
In the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the special re-game combination is won in the trick production state, the special re-game combination is controlled to the type B second production state according to the special re-game combination. Specifically, in the slot machine 10, when the first special re-gaming combination is won in the trick production state, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the first second play state. In addition, in the slot machine 10, when the second special re-game combination is won in the Hei production state, it is controlled to the second Otsu production state. In addition, in the slot machine 10, when the third special re-game combination is won in the Hei production state, it is controlled to the third Otsu production state. Although details will be described later, the third second effect state in the present embodiment is more advantageous than the first second effect state and the second second effect state. For this reason, even if the special re-game role is won, the Hei production state is controlled so that the type of the special re-game role that wins is controlled so as to be controlled to the type B production state of high advantage. Have sex.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when the falling re-playing combination is won in the trick production state, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the normal production state. However, in the slot machine 10, in the second-player effect state and the instep effect state, winning of the falling re-playing role is not allowed, and even if the falling re-playing role wins, it is not controlled to the normal effect state. That is, unlike the B-effect state and the A-state effect state, the Hei effect state has a game property that there is a risk of being controlled to the normal effect state when the falling re-playing combination wins.

  From the above, it can be said that the B-effect state and the A-tone effect state are more advantageous than the Hei effect state. That is, in this embodiment, the special advantageous state is more advantageous than the special advantageous state.

  In the slot machine 10, when the specific re-playing combination is won in the second effect state, the game machine shifts to the second effect state. In the slot machine 10, the probability of winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is lower in the second B state and the third B state than in the first B state, and the specific re-game combination is won. Is not acceptable. That is, in the slot machine 10, in the second and third effect states, it is more difficult for the specific re-gaming combination to win than in the first and second effect states. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the second special advantageous state, it is more difficult for the special ending combination to win the prize, and the ratio of the special ending condition being satisfied is lower than in the first special advantageous state (the special ending condition is Hard to be established). Further, in the present embodiment, in the second special advantageous state, the ratio of the lottery result of the combination lottery to the special end lottery result is lower than that in the first special advantageous state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the proportion of the lottery result of the role lottery in the first special advantageous state to the special end lottery result is the lottery result of the role lottery in the second special advantageous state to be the special end lottery result. Different from the proportion.

  Further, in the slot machine 10, among the winning numbers T1 to T6, the winning numbers T4 to T6 are, in comparison with the winning numbers T1 to T3, the pushing order for avoiding the winning of the specific re-playing combination (that is, the normal re-playing combination. There are many types of pushing order for winning the prize. Therefore, winning one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 is more difficult to win the specific re-gaming combination than winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T3, and the special ending condition is satisfied. This corresponds to a low ratio (difficult to meet special termination conditions).

  Then, in the first B second production state, in comparison with the second B third production state and the third B second production state, one of the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning probabilities of winning any one of the winning numbers T1 to T6. The odds of winning are low. In this way, in the first Boto production state, as compared with the second Boto production state and the third Otsu production state, among the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning probabilities of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6. Since the proportion of the winning probability of winning one of them is low, it is difficult for the specific re-game player to win the prize, and the proportion of the special ending condition being satisfied is low (the special ending condition is difficult to be satisfied). That is, in the present embodiment, in the first special advantageous state, the ratio of the lottery result of the winning combination lottery to the second special end lottery result is lower than in the second special advantageous state.

  Further, in the slot machine 10, the probability of winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is lower in the third second effect state than in the second second effect state, and it is difficult to allow the winning of the specific re-game combination. .. In other words, in the slot machine 10, in the third second effect state, it is more difficult to win the specific re-gaming combination than in the second second effect state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the third second effect state, compared to the second second effect state, it is more difficult for the specific re-gaming combination to win a prize, and the ratio of the special end condition being satisfied is lower (the special end condition being satisfied. hard). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the proportion of the special lottery result in the lottery result of the hand lottery is lower in the third second effect state than in the second second effect state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the first special advantageous state and the second special advantageous state, the proportion of the lottery result of the winning combination lottery to the second special end lottery result is different. In addition, since the "special end lottery result" in the present embodiment has two types of the first special end lottery result and the second special end lottery result, the lottery result of the role lottery is the second special end lottery. When the ratio of the result is different, the ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the first special end lottery result is different. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the ratio of the lottery result of the winning combination lottery to the first special end lottery result is different between the first special advantageous state and the second special advantageous state. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the first special advantageous state and the second special advantageous state, the ratio of the lottery result of the role lottery to the first special end lottery result and the lottery result of the role lottery are the second. The ratios of the special end lottery results are different.

  As described above, in the third Boto production state, it is more difficult for the specific re-gaming combination to win the prize than in the first Otsu production state and the second Otsu production state, and it is difficult to shift to the hei production state. .. From this, it can be said that the third B second effect state is more advantageous than the first B second effect state and the second B second effect state. Similarly, in the second Boto production state, it is more difficult for the specific re-game combination to win the prize than in the first Otsu production state, and it is difficult to shift to the hei production state. From this, it can be said that the second Boto production state is more advantageous than the first Boto production state.

  In the slot machine 10, the winning of the second special replay combination may be permitted in the first second effect state. In the slot machine 10, the third special re-game combination may be allowed to be won in the first second effect state. Therefore, in the first B second production state, there is a possibility that the second special re-game combination or the third special re-game combination will be won, and the state will shift to a B second production state that is more advantageous than the first B second production state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the winning of the second winning combination may be permitted in the winning combination lottery in the first special advantageous state.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, the winning of the first special re-game combination may not be permitted in the second and third effect states. Therefore, in the second and third effect states, there is no possibility of shifting to the first and second effect state due to winning of the first special re-game combination. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is no case where the winning of the first winning combination is permitted in the winning combination lottery in the second special advantageous state.

  In addition, in the instep production state, even if the winning of the specific re-playing combination is permitted, the pressing order of the stop buttons for winning the normal re-playing combination is notified. For this reason, in the instep production state, it is possible to prevent the specific re-gaming combination from winning and being controlled in the introductory state. By the way, in the slot machine 10, even if the specific re-playing combination wins in the instep production state, it is not actually controlled to be in the rendition state, but is mainly controlled in the rendition state. The gaming state shifts to the high-precision state.

  For example, if the instep production state is controlled when the game state is the third high-accuracy state, when the instep production state is finished, the third B production state is controlled. However, if it is controlled to the instep production state when the game state is the fourth highly accurate state, when the instep production state is finished, it is controlled to the first second production state. That is, if it is possible to avoid winning the specific re-play combination in the instep production state, it can be said that it is possible to avoid a decrease in the degree of advantage in the second production state controlled after the instep production state ends.

  From the above, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, it can be said that the instep production state is more advantageous than the second production state. That is, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, it can be said that the instep production state is more advantageous than the introductory production state. As described above, the advantageous effect state in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment has a plurality of kinds of effect states, the second effect state is more advantageous than the 丙 effect state, and the instep effect state is better than the second effect state. Is more advantageous.

The slot machine 10 of this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The advantageous production state (advantageous state) that is more advantageous than the normal production state (normal state) includes a special production state corresponding to a special advantageous state and a special advantageous state that is advantageous compared to the general production state. There is a second party production state. In addition, in the second production state, there is a first second production state and a second second production state in which it is more difficult for the specific re-game player to win the prize than in the first second production state (the proportion of the special ending condition is low). is there. Further, in the second-player production state, there is a third second-player production state in which it is more difficult for the specific re-game player to win the prize than in the second-second presentation state (the ratio of establishment of the special ending condition is low). Therefore, when it is controlled to the advantageous effect state, it is possible to improve the enjoyment by paying attention to whether the second effect state is more advantageous than the second effect state. Furthermore, even when controlled to the second B performance state, it is in the second B third production state or the third B second production state in which it is more difficult for the specific re-game player to win the prize than in the first B second production state, or It is possible to improve the interest by focusing on whether or not it is the third Boto production state in which it is more difficult for the specific re-game player to win the prize than in the second Boto production state.

  (2) In the first B second production state and the second B second production state, the probability of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 in the role lottery, that is, the probability that the winning of the specific re-game combination is allowed (role lottery The probability that the lottery result will be the “special end lottery result regarding establishment of the special end condition” is different. Further, the probability of winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 in the winning combination lottery is different between the second B second production state and the third B second production state. Further, the probability of winning one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 in the winning combination lottery is different between the first B second production state and the third B second production state. Therefore, in each second production state, the interest can be improved while paying attention to which one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is won in the winning lottery.

  (3) In the case of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T6 (in the case of the special ending lottery result), when winning any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 (in the second special ending lottery result) In some cases), the probability that the specific re-gaming combination corresponding to the special ending combination will be won, as compared with the case of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T3 (the case of the first special ending lottery result) Is low. Then, in the first B second production state and the second B second production state, whichever of the winning numbers T1 to T3 is won (the percentage which is the first special end lottery result) and which of the winning numbers T4 to T6. The ratio of winning the crab (the ratio of the second special end lottery result) is different. In addition, in the first B second effect state and the third B effect state, the proportion of winning any of the winning numbers T1 to T3 and the proportion of winning any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 are different. Accordingly, while paying attention to which one of the winning numbers T1 to T6 is won, which of the “winning numbers T1 to T3” and “winning numbers T4 to T6” is won among the winning numbers T1 to T6. It is possible to make people pay attention to and improve their interest.

  (4) When any of the winning numbers T1 to T3 is won (when it is the first special ending lottery result) and when any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 is won (the second special ending lottery result) In the case of), the kind of the stop operation order that is the order (specific order) of the stop operation for winning the specific re-gaming combination as the special ending combination among the plurality of stop operation orders is different. Therefore, while paying attention to which of the “winning numbers T1 to T3” and the “winning numbers T4 to T6” wins among the winning numbers T1 to T6, the order of the stop operations allows the specific re-play combination to win. It is possible to improve interest and interest by paying attention to whether or not the order is.

  (5) Even if it is controlled to be in the production state, for example, the first special re-playing combination or the second special re-playing combination wins (or the winning is allowed), which corresponds to the special advantageous state. It may be controlled to a performance state. At this time, the type of second effect state to be controlled is different depending on which of the first special re-gaming combination and the second special re-gaming combination wins (or whether the winning is allowed). Therefore, in the trick production state corresponding to the special advantageous state, for example, also paying attention to which one of the first special re-play combination and the second special re-play combination wins (or whether the winning is allowed). , It is possible to improve the interest.

  In addition, even if controlled to the 丙 production state, the first special re-game combination or the third special re-game combination may be controlled to the second production state by winning (or winning is permitted), The type of the second effect state controlled by which of the first special re-play combination and the third special re-play combination wins (or whether the winning is allowed) is different. In addition, even if it is controlled to the 丙 production state, the second special re-game combination or the third special re-game combination may be controlled to the second production state by winning (or winning is allowed), The type of second effect state controlled depending on which of the second special re-play combination and the third special re-play combination wins (or whether the winning is permitted) is different. Therefore, in the 丙 production state, a winning combination or a lottery result of a role lottery (particularly, which of the first special re-gaming combination to the third special re-gaming combination wins (or whether the winning is allowed)) It is possible to focus on and improve the interest.

  (6) Even if it is controlled to the first second effect state, it may be controlled to the second second effect state by the winning of the second special re-game combination (or the winning is allowed). Therefore, in the first second effect state, it is possible to improve the enjoyment by paying attention to whether the second special re-gaming combination wins (or whether the winning is allowed).

  Further, even if it is controlled to the first second effect state, it may be controlled to the third second effect state when the third special re-game combination wins (or the winning is allowed). Further, even if the second special effect state is controlled, the third special re-game combination may be controlled to the third special effect state by winning (or allowing winning). For this reason, in the first B second production state and the second B second production state, attention can be paid to whether the third special re-gaming combination is won (or whether the winning is allowed), and the interest can be improved.

  (7) After being controlled to the first preparation state as the first specific state, it may be controlled to the advantageous effect state as the advantageous state or may be controlled to the normal effect state as the normal state. . Then, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the second preparation state as the second specific state is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the first preparation state. high. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest by focusing on which one of the first preparation state and the second preparation state is controlled after the normal effect state.

  (8) The first preparation state as the first specific state is less likely to be controlled to the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) thereafter than the second preparation state as the second specific state. On the other hand, the upper limit period controlled in the first preparation state is longer than the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state. That is, the first preparation state is interesting in that it can be expected to be controlled to the advantageous effect state for a longer period than the second preparation state. Therefore, the first preparation state of the first preparation state and the second preparation state Even if the state is controlled, the interest can be improved.

  (9) Among the advantageous effect states as the advantageous state, the second effect state as the special advantageous state is more advantageous than the tare effect state as the special advantageous state. Then, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the second stage state after being controlled to the second preparation state is higher than that of being controlled to the second stage state after being controlled to the first stage state. Therefore, not only the expectation degree controlled to the advantageous effect state, but also from the viewpoint of the expectation degree controlled to the second effect state, which is more advantageous than the Hei effect state in the advantageous effect state, after the normal effect state, The interest can be improved by focusing on which one of the first preparation state and the second preparation state is controlled.

  (10) In the first preparation state and the second preparation state, it is common that if the special re-gaming role as the special character wins, it is controlled to the second-person production state, but the probability that the special re-gaming role wins is different. It has a game property. Also, in the first preparation state, if the falling re-playing combination as a specific ending combination wins, it is controlled to the normal effect state (normal state), but in the second preparation state, winning of the falling re-playing combination is allowed. The game is also different in that it is not played. As described above, by creating different game characteristics in each of the first preparation state and the second preparation state, it is possible to improve the interest.

  (11) The first preparation state as the first specific state is controlled after being controlled to the blue bonus game state as the first bonus state. Further, the second preparation state as the second specific state is controlled after being controlled to the white bonus game state or the green bonus game state as the second bonus state. Therefore, before the control in the first preparation state or the second preparation state, attention is paid to what kind of bonus game state (bonus state) is controlled, and the interest is improved. it can.

  (12) When controlled to the bonus game state corresponding to the second bonus state, it is controlled to the second preparation state as the second specific state which is more advantageous than the first preparation state as the first specific state. By being able to recognize, the interest can be improved. The bonus game state corresponding to the second bonus state has a plurality of types of white bonus game state and green bonus game state. Then, depending on the type of bonus game state corresponding to the second bonus state, the profit that can be obtained within the period in which the bonus game state is controlled, that is, the number of medals that can be obtained is changed. As a result, in a situation in which it is possible to recognize that the second preparatory state is controlled, it is possible to effectively pay attention to what kind of bonus game state the second bonus state corresponds to. The interest can be improved.

  (13) Among the advantageous production states as the advantageous state, the second production state corresponding to the special advantageous state is more advantageous than the special production state as the special production state. Then, the degree of expectation that the second preparation state is controlled after being controlled to the third preparation state as the second pre-advantageous state is controlled to the second production state after being controlled to the second preparation state as the first pre-advantageous state. Higher than expected. For this reason, after the normal effect state as the normal state, attention can be paid to which of the second preparation state and the third preparation state is controlled, and the interest can be improved.

  (14) After being controlled to the second preparatory state, which is the first pre-advantageous state, it may be controlled to the trick production state, which is the special advantageous state. On the other hand, if the third preparatory state as the second advantageous pre-state is controlled, then the second preparatory state is controlled as a special advantageous state that is more advantageous than the second stage. Therefore, it is possible to further raise the degree of attention as to whether or not the control is performed in the third preparation state, and improve the interest.

  (15) The first preparation state as the third pre-advantageous state, not the second preparatory state as the first pre-advantageous state or the third preparatory state as the second pre-advantageous state, after the normal effect state as the normal state It may be controlled by. Then, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state (advantageous state) after being controlled to the second preparation state and the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous production state after being controlled to the third preparation state are the first preparation. It is higher than the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous effect state after being controlled to the state. Therefore, after the normal effect state, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to which of the first preparation state, the second preparation state, and the third preparation state is controlled.

  (16) The upper limit period in which the second preparatory state is controlled as the first pre-advantageous state is shorter than the upper limit period in which the first preparatory state is controlled as the third pre-advantageous state. Further, the upper limit period controlled in the third preparation state as the second advantageous previous state is shorter than the upper limit period controlled in the second preparation state. As described above, in the first preparation state, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) is lower than that of the second preparation state and the third preparation state, but the upper limit period to be controlled is long. Further, in the second preparation state, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the second effect state (special advantageous state) is lower than that of the third preparation state, but the controlled upper limit period is long. That is, in the first preparation state to the third preparation state, it can be expected that the preparation state in which the expectation to be controlled to the advantageous production state or the second production state is lower is controlled to the advantageous production state or the second production state for a longer period. Therefore, even if it is not controlled in the third preparation state, the interest can be improved.

  (17) In the first preparation state to the third preparation state, it is common that if the special re-gaming role as the special character wins, the special re-gaming role is controlled as the special effect state as the special advantageous state, but the special re-gaming role wins. The game has a different probability of playing. Also, when the specific re-game combination (specific end combination) is won in the first preparation state as the third advantageous pre-state, it is controlled to the normal effect state (normal state), but as the first advantageous pre-state. The game characteristics are different in that the winning of the specific re-gaming combination is not permitted when in the second preparation state or the third preparation state as the second advantageous front state. Further, even if the special re-game combination (special combination) does not win in the third preparation state, it is controlled to a predetermined second-stage production state, but in the first preparation state or the second preparation state, the special re-game The game is different in that the role is not controlled unless the winning combination is won. Thus, by creating different game characteristics in each of the first preparation state to the third preparation state, it is possible to improve the interest.

  (18) The second preparation state as the first advantageous previous state is controlled after being controlled to the white bonus game state or the green bonus game state as the second bonus state. The third preparation state as the second advantageous pre-state is controlled after being controlled to the red bonus game state as the third bonus state. Also, the first preparation state as the third advantageous pre-state is controlled after being controlled to the blue bonus game state as the first bonus state. For this reason, it is possible to improve the interest by paying attention to what kind of bonus game state (bonus state) is controlled before being controlled to the preparation effect state.

  (19) When the winning of the specific re-game combination is permitted in the second-player production state, the question mark production is executed on the production display device 15. Therefore, when the question mark effect is executed in the second effect state, attention can be paid to whether or not the winning of the specific re-gaming combination can be avoided by the pressing order of the stop button, and the interest can be improved.

The embodiment described above may be modified into another embodiment as follows, for example.
-As a winning number in which the winning of the specific re-gaming combination is allowed, for example, one of the 6 pressing orders is set as the "pressing sequence for winning the normal re-gaming combination", while the remaining 5 combinations It may have a winning number (hereinafter, referred to as "1/6 winning number") in which the pushing order is defined as "a pushing order for winning a specific re-game combination". At this time, there may be six "1/6 winning numbers" in which the pushing order for winning the regular re-play combination is different. In this case, when the "1/6 winning number" is won, the winning of the specific re-game combination can be avoided at a rate of "1/6".

  Further, for example, in the case of having six "1/6 winning numbers" in addition to the winning numbers T1 to T6, the winning numbers may be different in the winning lottery tables YT6 to YT8. When the second high-accuracy state is controlled, when the first high-accuracy state is controlled, and when the winning numbers of the specific re-game combination are allowed, the winning numbers T1 to T3 are won. The proportion of the winning probability may be different. At this time, when it is controlled to the second high-accuracy state, when it is controlled to the first high-accuracy state, and to the winning numbers T4 to T6 of the winning numbers in which the winning of the specific re-game combination is allowed. The winning probabilities of winning may be the same. In this way, in the first B second production state and the second B second production state, while the proportion of the winning probability of winning the winning numbers T1 to T3 among the winning numbers of the specific re-game combination winning is different, The winning probabilities of winning the winning numbers T4 to T6 may be the same among the winning numbers of which the winning of the re-game combination is permitted. That is, in the first special advantageous state and the second special advantageous state, the ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the first special end lottery result and the ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the second special end lottery result. The ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the first special end lottery result may be different.

  In addition, when it is controlled to the second high-accuracy state, when it is controlled to the first high-accuracy state, and to win the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning numbers in which the winning of the specific re-game combination is permitted. The proportion of the winning probability may be different. At this time, when it is controlled to the second high-accuracy state, when it is controlled to the first high-accuracy state, and to the winning numbers T1 to T3 of the winning numbers in which the winning of the specific re-game combination is allowed. The winning probabilities of winning may be the same. As described above, in the first B second production state and the second B second production state, while the proportion of the winning probabilities of winning the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning numbers in which the winning of the specific re-game combination is permitted is different, The winning probabilities of winning the winning numbers T1 to T3 may be the same among the winning numbers of which the winning of the re-game combination is permitted. That is, in the first special advantageous state and the second special advantageous state, the ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the first special end lottery result and the ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the second special end lottery result. The ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the second special end lottery result may be different. As described above, in the first special advantageous state and the second special advantageous state, the ratio of the lottery result of the part lottery to the first special end lottery result and the lottery result of the part lottery is the second special end lottery result. At least one of the above ratios may be different.

  ・ When the special replay role is allowed in the special production state as the special advantageous state, the order of pressing the stop buttons for winning the normal replay role (or the specific replay role) is notified. The operation information to be performed may be displayed in some cases. For example, in the first to third effect states, in the third to third effect state, when the winning of the specific re-gaming combination is allowed, the pressing order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination (or the specific re-gaming combination) The display rate of the operation information to be notified may be different. For example, in the case of the second Otsu production state and the third Otsu production state, as compared with the case of the first Otsu production state, in order to win the normal re-game role when the winning of the specific re-game role is allowed. It is also possible to increase the ratio at which the operation information for informing the pressing order of the stop button is displayed. In this case, in the second and third effect states, the ratio of winning the specific re-game combination can be made lower than in the first and second effect state. As described above, the specific re-gaming combination is won by changing the ratio of the operation information indicating the pressing order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming combination (or the specific re-gaming combination). The ratio or the ratio of avoiding the winning of the specific re-play combination can be made different depending on the type of the second effect state. At this time, the probability of winning the winning number that allows the winning of the specific re-game combination and the proportion of winning any of the winning numbers T4 to T6 among the winning numbers T1 to T6 are varied depending on the type of the second effect state. You don't have to. It should be noted that if the ratio of notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons for winning the normal replay combination is improved, the ratio of avoiding the winning of the specific replay combination can be increased. Further, if the ratio of notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons for winning the specific re-game combination is lowered, the ratio of the specific re-game combination winning can be lowered.

  The winning of the first special re-game combination may be allowed in the combination lottery in the second second production state. That is, in the winning combination lottery table YT7, the value of the winning combination random number may be distributed so that the winning number of the winning combination of the first special re-game combination can be won. Then, when the first special re-game combination is won in the second B-game production state (or when the winning of the first special re-game combination is allowed), it is configured to be controlled to the first B-game production state. Good. When configured in this way, when the first special re-game combination wins in the second high-accuracy state (or when the winning of the first special re-game combination is allowed), it is controlled to the first high-precision state. It may be configured as follows. In this case, even in the second Boto production state, the first Boto production state may be transitioned. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest by also paying attention to whether the first Boto production state is controlled. In addition, in the second Boto production state, winning of the second special re-game combination may be permitted in the combination lottery.

  -In the third Otsu production state, the winning of the first special re-game combination may be allowed in the combination lottery. That is, in the winning combination lottery table YT8, the value of the winning combination random number may be distributed so that the winning number of the winning combination of the first special re-game combination can be won. Similarly, it may be configured such that the winning of the second special re-game combination is allowed in the combination lottery in the third second effect state. That is, in the role lottery table YT8, the value of the random number for role lottery may be distributed so that the winning number in which the winning of the second special re-game combination is allowed can be won. Then, when the first special re-game combination wins in the third B-game production state (or when the winning of the first special re-game combination is permitted), the control is performed in the first B-game production state. Good. When configured in this way, when the first special re-game combination is won in the third high-accuracy state (or when the winning of the first special re-game combination is allowed), it is controlled to the first high-precision state. It may be configured as follows. Further, when the second special re-playing combination wins in the third B-reproduction state (or when the winning of the second special re-playing combination is allowed), the second B-reproduction state is controlled to be controlled. Good. When configured in this way, if the second special re-game combination wins in the third high-accuracy state (or if the winning of the first special re-game combination is allowed), it is controlled to the second high-precision state. It may be configured as follows. In this case, even in the third Boto production state, there may be a transition to the first Boto production state or the second Boto production state. By doing so, the interest can be improved.

  The winning of the falling re-game combination may be allowed in the role lottery in all the preparation game states, not limited to a part of the preparation game states of the plural kinds of preparation game states. At this time, for example, when in the third preparation game state (role lottery table YT5), it may be configured to shift to the normal game state when the fall re-play role is won, or the fall re-play role. Even if the player wins, it may be configured not to shift to the normal game state. Further, for example, in the third preparatory gaming state, when the winning of the falling re-playing combination is allowed, the payout display unit 37 displays the operation information notifying the pressing order of the stop button for winning the normal re-playing combination. It may be configured to. Further, at this time, the navigation effect may be configured to be executed. In addition, here, the third preparatory game state is taken as an example, but it may be the second preparatory game state, or may be both the second preparatory game state and the third preparatory game state.

  The winning of the falling re-playing combination may be permitted in the winning combination lottery in a part of the gaming states of the first high-probability state to the fourth high-probability state. For example, among the first high-accuracy state to the fourth high-accuracy state, when the fourth high-accuracy state (role lottery table YT9), winning of the falling re-game combination is allowed, while the first high-accuracy state- In the third highly reliable state (role lottery tables YT6 to YT8), winning of a falling re-game combination may not be permitted. In addition, in the first high accuracy state to the fourth high accuracy state, if configured to allow winning of the falling re-playing combination in the role lottery, when falling in the fourth high accuracy state If a prize is won, the game state shifts to the normal game state, while if the falling re-gaming player wins in the first high-accuracy state to the third high-accuracy state, it does not shift to the normal game state. Good.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, when a prize for a special re-playing combination is allowed in the trick production state, it may be configured to shift to the second effect state. In this case, depending on the operation mode of the stop button when the winning of the special re-gaming combination is allowed, the case where the special re-gaming combination of which the winning is permitted is won and the special re-gaming combination of which the winning is permitted is won. There may or may not be. Then, for example, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the first special re-game combination is allowed in the trick production state, it may be configured to shift to the first second effect state. Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the second special re-game combination is allowed in the trick production state, it may be configured to shift to the second B-game production state. Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the third special re-game combination is allowed in the trick production state, it may be configured to shift to the third B-game production state. As described above, in the above-described embodiment, when the special re-game combination winning is allowed in the trick production state, the special re-playing combination is shifted to the second-stage production state according to the type of the special re-playing combination in which the winning is permitted. You may comprise. That is, as in the above-described embodiment, when the first winning combination is won in the special advantageous state, the first winning combination may be controlled to the first special advantageous state, and the winning of the first winning combination is allowed in the special advantageous state. If so, it may be configured to be controlled to the first special advantageous state. Further, as in the above-described embodiment, when the second winning combination is won in the special advantageous state, the second winning combination may be controlled to the second special advantageous state, and the winning of the second winning is allowed in the special advantageous state. If so, the second special advantageous state may be controlled.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the winning of the second special re-game combination is permitted in the first second effect state, it may be configured to shift to the second second effect state. In this case, depending on the operation mode of the stop button when the winning of the second special re-playing combination is allowed, the case where the second special re-playing combination wins, and the case where the second special re-playing combination does not win, There may be. Similarly, when the winning of the third special re-game combination is permitted in the first second effect state, it may be configured to shift to the third second effect state. In this case, depending on the operation mode of the stop button when the winning of the third special re-playing combination is permitted, the case where the third special re-playing combination wins, and the case where the third special re-playing combination does not win, There may be. Then, for example, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the second special re-game combination is allowed in the first second effect state, it may be configured to shift to the second second effect state. Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the third special re-game combination is permitted in the first second effect state, it may be configured to shift to the third second effect state. That is, when the second winning combination is won in the first special advantageous state as in the above embodiment, the second special advantageous state may be controlled, or in the first special advantageous state, the second special advantageous state may be controlled. It may be configured to be controlled to the second special advantageous state when the winning of two roles is allowed.

  In the second second effect state, the specific re-game combination may have a higher winning rate than in the first second effect state. Similarly, in the third B second effect state, the ratio of winning the specific re-game combination may be higher than in the first B second effect state. Even in the case of such a configuration, a lottery for deciding whether or not to shift to the trick production state may be performed when a specific re-game combination is won. In this case, the special re-playing combination is won, and the special ending condition is satisfied by the lottery determining the transition to the dramatization state. By adjusting the winning probability of the lottery illustrated here, it is more difficult to shift to the second production state in the second second production state or the third second production state than in the first second production state. (Lower the rate at which the special termination condition is met) can be done. For example, the probability of winning the lottery illustrated here may be set higher in the first second effect state and in the second second effect state and the third second effect state.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the third special re-game combination is allowed in the second second effect state, it may be configured to shift to the third second effect state. In this case, depending on the operation mode of the stop button when the winning of the third special re-playing combination is permitted, the case where the third special re-playing combination wins, and the case where the third special re-playing combination does not win, There may be. Then, for example, in the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the third special re-game combination is allowed in the second second effect state, it may be configured to shift to the third second effect state.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the winning of the predetermined winning combination is permitted, or when the predetermined winning combination is won, it may be configured to be controlled to the instep production state regardless of the production state before the transition. For example, the predetermined winning combination is a winning combination that is permitted in a gaming state other than the bonus gaming state, and if the predetermined winning combination is in a production state other than the bonus production state, the predetermined winning combination is permitted (or the predetermined winning combination has won). It may be configured to be controlled to the instep production state when the above). In this case, for example, even in the normal production state, it is expected that the player is directly controlled to the instep production state, and the interest can be improved. Further, even if the bonus game state is not given, it is expected to be controlled to the instep production state, and the interest can be improved. The predetermined winning combination may be, for example, a winning combination whose winning probability is extremely low (for example, a winning combination whose winning probability is lower than that of a Bell winning combination). That is, the predetermined combination may be a so-called rare combination.

  -In the instep production state in the above-described embodiment, a period in which the end of the instep production state is regulated (or restricted) may be provided. For example, if the period during which the end of the instant production state is restricted (or restricted) is set as the “end restriction period”, the end of the lottery will not be performed even if the Bell role is won during the end restriction period (or It may be configured such that the lottery is not won). In addition, during the termination regulation period, it may be configured such that it is more difficult to win the instep termination lottery than when it is not during the termination regulation period. For example, the winning probability of the A-end lottery may be lowered, or the type of the role (bell role in the above embodiment) that triggers the A-end lottery may be reduced to make it difficult to win the A-end lottery. You may. In addition, in the instep production state, the end regulation period may be extended (so-called addition is performed).

  -You may change the stop position of the symbols that form the effective line. Further, the number of effective lines may be plural. For example, an effective line may be configured by the upper stop position of the left reel 16a, the middle stop position of the middle reel 16b, and the lower stop position of the right reel 16c. Further, the stop positions of the symbols forming the effective line do not have to be the stop positions of the symbols positioned on a straight line. For example, the effective line may be configured by the upper stop position of the left reel 16a, the middle stop position of the middle reel 16b, and the upper stop position of the right reel 16c.

  In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 40a is configured so that, when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order, a winning command that can specify that the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out of order is stored in the output buffer. Good. In this case, the winning command corresponds to control information capable of specifying the lottery result of the winning combination lottery including the failure.

  The slot machine 10 may be embodied as a gaming machine in which freeze control is performed. The freeze control is, for example, a control that stagnates the progress of the game, and is also called stagnation control. For example, if the instep effect state is controlled after the red bonus effect state (red bonus game state) is ended, the freeze control may be performed after the red bonus effect state (red bonus game state) is ended. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment by paying attention to whether the freeze control is performed after the end of the red bonus effect state (red bonus game state). Generally, the freeze control is performed by the main control CPU 40a, and the main control CPU 40a performs the freeze control to realize a function as a freeze control means for performing the freeze control. It should be noted that, during the period in which the freeze control is performed, for example, the effect display device 15 may be configured to perform the freeze effect. For example, when the freeze control is performed after the end of the red bonus effect state (red bonus game state) and then the instep effect state is controlled, the freeze effect is informed that the instep effect state is controlled. It may be configured to.

  In the above embodiment, the value of the random number for the role lottery is not limited to the win number even if the winning number of the winning combination of the symbol combination in which the prize is set is allowed, and for example, a predetermined effect (for example, It is also possible to derive a symbol combination (a so-called chance opportunity) to which a privilege such as execution of freeze effect, additional effect, etc. can be given.

  The carry-over game state may be a game state in which winning of a re-gaming combination is more easily permitted than in the normal game state and the preparation game state. Further, the carry-over game state may be a game state in which it is difficult to allow the winning of the re-game combination as compared to the high-probability game state. Further, the preparatory gaming state may be a gaming state in which winning of a re-gaming combination is more easily accepted than in the normal gaming state. Further, the probability that the winning of the re-gaming role is allowed in the preparatory gaming state may be the same as the probability that the winning of the re-gaming role is allowed in the high-probability gaming state, or the re-gaming role in the high-probability gaming state. It may be higher than the probability of winning the prize.

  When the bonus effect state is controlled, it may be possible to execute an effect that notifies the effect state after the end of the bonus effect state. For example, in the blue bonus effect state, the effect display device 15 may be configured to execute an effect that notifies the shift to the first preparation state after the end of the blue bonus effect state.

  ・ The ending condition of the bonus game state may be changed. The ending condition of the bonus game state may not be configured to be satisfied when the number of medals paid out in the bonus game state exceeds a predetermined number. For example, the ending condition of the bonus game state may be established when the number of times of the variable game executed in the bonus game state reaches a predetermined number.

  The winning of the single bonus combination is allowed, and the single bonus combination may be applied to a gaming machine in which a single bonus game state (single bonus state) is generated. Unlike the bonus combination, the single bonus combination does not continue to allow the winning of the single bonus combination after the variation game in which the winning of the single bonus combination is allowed. When applied to a gaming machine in which the winning of the single bonus combination is allowed, for example, the in-end ending lottery may be performed when the winning of the single bonus combination is allowed in the instep production state. In this case, it may be configured such that the finisher lottery is not performed when the winning of the role of bell is permitted.

  The above embodiment may not be applied to the slot machine that can be controlled in the bonus game state. For example, it may be configured to shift to the preparation effect state based on a lottery result of a predetermined lottery. At this time, for example, the predetermined lottery may be performed when the winning of the role of cherry is allowed. In addition, for example, according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery, in the above-mentioned predetermined lottery, the probability that it is decided to shift to the first preparation state, the probability that it is decided to shift to the second preparation state, and the Some or all of the probabilities of being determined to shift to the 3 ready state may be different.

  When the winning of the bonus combination is permitted, and the winning of the winning combination other than the bonus winning combination is allowed, the winning of the winning combination other than the bonus winning combination may be prioritized. For example, in the carryover game state, if winning of a combination other than the bonus combination is allowed, winning of a combination other than the bonus combination may be prioritized. In addition, in the role lottery, when the winning of the bonus combination is allowed and the winning of the paying combination (for example, the cherry combination) is allowed, the winning of the paying combination in which the winning is allowed may be prioritized. ..

  In the role lottery table, a predetermined number may be distributed from the values within the range that can be taken as the value of the random number for role lottery to the winning numbers that can be determined according to the number of bets. For example, when the number of bets is small, it may be more difficult to win the winning number than when the number of bets is large. That is, when the bet number is small, the lottery result of the winning combination lottery may be more likely to be missed than when the bet number is large.

  The slot machine 10 may be a game machine that uses a game medium different from the medal. For example, it may be embodied as a game machine that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium. Further, the slot machine 10 may be embodied as a pachinko game machine.

  The above embodiment may be applied to a gaming machine that can give a penalty to the player. It should be noted that the penalty may be applied to one variation game or to a plurality of variation games.
