JP, 2008-148957, A

  In the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, it is assumed that the specific symbol combination associated with the specific winning combination is always displayed on the activated line regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Then, the period from the winning of the specific combination to the display of the specific symbol combination, that is, the stay period of the specific game state in which the flag of the specific combination is established can be made relatively short. This makes it possible to provide the bonus game to the player promptly, but on the other hand, it becomes difficult to secure the stay period in the specific game state, and provides the player with a new interest in the specific game state. Difficult to do.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can provide a player with a new interest in a specific gaming state.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is triggered by a plurality of reels provided with a symbol row in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and a game start operation under the injection of a prescribed number of game values. , an internal lottery means for determining the propriety of one or more roles of the base winning combination of a plurality of types different from the specific combination and the specific role in internal lottery, in response to the game start operation, to rotate the plurality of reels Reel control means for stopping the reels so that a symbol combination previously associated with the winning combination in the internal lottery can be displayed on the activated line in response to the operation of the stop switch corresponding to each of the plurality of reels. And, a plurality of games including a specific game state from when the specific combination is won in the internal lottery to before the specific symbol combination associated with the specific combination is displayed on the activated line. A gaming state control means for controlling the transfer of gaming state between the state, in response to said symbol combination displayed on the activated line, a gaming machine and a dispensing control means for paying out a predetermined game value, The plurality of types of normal winning combination includes a special winning combination that can provide a player with a game-related privilege, and a winning probability control means for controlling a winning probability of the special winning combination in the internal lottery is provided, and the gaming state control is performed. Means, in the specific game state, when the specific symbol combination is displayed in the activated line, to end the specific game state and shift to a first game state different from the specific game state, while the specific symbol combination There is maintained the specific game state without shifting to the first game condition when not displayed on the activated line in the first game condition, the game value When the total number of payouts exceeds a specific total number, the first game state is ended, the specific game state and a second game state different from the first game state are transferred, and in the second game state, the internal lottery is performed. When the specific combination is won, the second game state is ended and the specific game state is entered, and the reel control means, when the specific combination is independently won in the internal lottery, the stop switch Regardless of the operation mode, while stopping the reel so as to display the specific symbol combination on the activated line, in the case of winning the specific combination and the normal combination in the internal lottery, the stop switch Regardless of the operation mode of, the reel is set so that the symbol combination associated with the normal winning combination is given priority over the specific symbol combination and displayed on the activated line. Is stopped, the internal lottery means, said in the second game condition and the specific game state, determined by the internal lottery said special role in the same winning probability, the prize probability control means, before Symbol second gaming state The winning probability of the special winning combination in the specific game state is controlled to be higher than the winning probability of the special winning combination in.

Further, in the above configuration, the plurality of types of normal winning combination includes a small winning combination that can pay out the game value to the player, and in the first gaming state, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, The reel control means corresponds to the small winning combination due to the small winning combination being set in the winning state in the first gaming state. The reel is stopped so that the symbol combination to be displayed on the effective line, and the payout control means, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is displayed on the effective line, a predetermined number of the game values . Characterized by paying out.

Further, in the above-mentioned configuration, the plurality of types of normal winning combinations include a first small winning combination capable of paying out a game value less than the specified total number to the player, and a first small winning combination capable of paying out a game value greater than the specified total number to the player. 2 small wins, a re-playing role that enables the next game to be started without depending on the specified number of game values being input, and the winning state setting means, in the first gaming state, the internal lottery. Irrespective of the result, both the first small combination and the second small combination are set in the winning state, and the reel control means wins the re-playing combination in the internal lottery in the first gaming state. In this case, while prioritizing the first small combination over the second small combination, the reel is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to the first small combination can be displayed on the activated line, while the internal Win the re-playing role by lottery If not, prioritize the second small combination over the first small combination, stop the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to the second small combination can be displayed on the activated line, If the total payout amount of the game value in the first game state does not exceed the specified total number, the game state control means maintains the first game state without shifting to the second game state. Is characterized by.

  According to the present invention, when a specific winning combination is independently won in the internal lottery, the specific symbol combination is displayed on the activated line regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. Thereby, after the game state is shifted from the second game state to the specific game state, it is possible to immediately shift to the first game state. On the other hand, when the specific combination and the normal combination are won in the internal lottery, the normal combination is prioritized over the specific combination regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch, and the symbol combination associated with the normal combination is obtained. Appears on the active line. As a result, it is possible to prevent the gaming state from immediately shifting from the specific gaming state to the first gaming state, and it is possible to secure a stay period in the specific gaming state.

  Further, according to the present invention, a special winning combination that provides a trigger for awarding is provided, and the winning probability of the special winning combination, that is, the winning combination when the symbol combination corresponding to the special winning combination is displayed on the activated line and becomes a winning prize is the first. The probability is higher in the specific game state than in the game state and the second game state. As described above, in the present invention, even if the specific symbol combination associated with the specific combination is a symbol combination displayed on the activated line regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch, the winning probability of the special combination is high. Since it is possible to secure the stay period of the specific game state which is controlled by the probability, it becomes possible to execute a game which is rich in interest in the specific game state.

The sub control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub control processing unit 200. The sub CPU reads out the program stored in the sub ROM based on a command (instruction determined by the main control processing unit 100) transmitted from the main control processing unit 100, performs an arithmetic process, and performs the process. Based on this, the effect devices such as the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the sub monitor 6 are controlled. The sub RAM functions as a work area for data during arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

  In the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100, based on the start lever validating means 101 for validating the operation of the start lever 15 and the validated operation of the start lever 15 (a signal from the start lever 15), An internal lottery means 102 for determining an associated winning area by an internal lottery from a plurality of types, a flag (hereinafter, referred to as a winning combination) associated with a winning area determined by the internal lottery (hereinafter, referred to as a winning combination). The winning flag control means (winning state setting means) 103 for establishing the winning flag), the reel control means 104 for controlling the rotation and stop of the reels 30a to 30c, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination are the effective lines L. When the winning combination is displayed in, the medal payout means 105 for paying out the number of medals previously associated with the small winning combination, the symbol set corresponding to the re-playing combination When the line is displayed on the activated line L, the re-gaming state setting means 106 for setting the re-gaming state that enables the next game without depending on the insertion of the specified number of medals, the gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state 107, an effect mode control unit 108 for controlling an effect mode (also referred to as an effect state), and a main monitor control unit 109 for controlling display on the main monitor 10 are constructed.

  In the present embodiment example, as the gaming state, a non-CBB internal gaming state (second gaming state), a CBB internal gaming state (specific gaming state), a CBB gaming state (first gaming state) are provided, and a non-CBB internal gaming state. (Hereinafter, referred to as non-internal CBB.), Non-RT gaming state (hereinafter, non-RT), RT1 gaming state (hereinafter, RT1), RT2 gaming state (hereinafter, RT2). , RT3 gaming state (hereinafter referred to as RT3) and RT4 gaming state (hereinafter referred to as RT4) are provided. The gaming state control means 107, depending on the winning of the CBB role, non-internal CBB (non-RT, RT1 to RT4), CBB internal gaming state (hereinafter, referred to as internal CBB), CBB gaming state (hereinafter, referred to as CBB). Controlling the transition of the game state between.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, as the effect mode, a non-ART mode in which a normal game is played and an ART mode in which an ART game that is more advantageous to the player than a normal game is performed are provided. The ART game is a game that combines both AT game and RT game, and AT game is a game in which the operation order of stop buttons is displayed on the main monitor 10 and the sub monitor 6 to facilitate the acquisition of medals. The RT game is a game in which the re-game player is highly likely to win in the internal lottery.

  In the sub ROM of the sub control processing unit 200, a rendering device control means 201 for controlling each rendering device of the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the sub monitor 6 is constructed. Upon receiving an instruction (command) from the main control processing unit 100, the rendering device control unit 201 controls each rendering device to perform a sound effect, a sound effect, and an image effect.

  First, each means built in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

  The start lever enabling means 101 operates the start lever 15 when a specified number of medals are inserted into the slot machine S or when the re-game state setting means 106 sets the slot machine S to the re-play state. Activate.

  The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number (not shown) for internal lottery at the timing when the operation of the activated start lever 15 (game start operation) is performed, and the acquired random number and the current game state. Based on the type, one winning area is determined from a plurality of types of winning areas. Specifically, the internal lottery means 102 refers to the winning probability lottery table (see FIG. 9) stored in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 according to the game state, and refers to the table and the acquired internal. The winning area is determined based on the random number for lottery.

  The winning area, the winning combination associated with the winning area, and the winning probability of the winning area will be described later, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. It is associated with both the winning area "CBB1" (No. 46) and the winning area "CBB2" (No. 47), only CBB role is associated with CBB1 alone, and CBB2 is added in addition to CBB role. A game combination (REP1 described later) is associated.

  The winning flag control means 103 establishes (sets) a winning flag for a winning combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery, and in CBB, regardless of the result of the internal drawing, the winning of all the small winning combinations. Set the flag. If the winning flag that is established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in the current game is the winning flag relating to the small winning combination or the re-gaming combination, the winning flag controlling means 103 sets these winning flags. In order not to carry over to the next game, it is set to OFF (released) before the start of the next game.

  In the present embodiment, when the winning flag of the CBB combination is independently established, it corresponds to the CBB combination regardless of the operation timing and operation sequence of the stop button (hereinafter referred to as the stop button operation mode). A symbol combination (a specific symbol combination, which will be referred to as a CBB symbol combination hereinafter) is displayed on the activated line L. On the other hand, when the winning flags of the CBB winning combination and the small winning combination are established, regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, the small winning combination is prioritized over the CBB winning combination, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is obtained. When the winning flags of the CBB combination and the re-gaming combination are overlapped and established, the re-gaming combination is prioritized over the CBB combination regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination is displayed on the activated line L.

  For example, when CBB1 is won in the internal lottery in RT1 (non-internal CBB), the winning flag control means 103 independently establishes the winning flag of the CBB combination, and the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state from RT1 to the internal CBB. Let When the stop button is subsequently operated, the reel control means 104 stops the reel so that the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. In this case, the winning flag control means 103 sets (releases) the winning flag of the CBB combination to OFF before the next game is started without carrying over to the next game, and as described later, the game state control means 107. Shifts the gaming state from the internal CBB to CBB. Therefore, if CBB1 is won by the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, the stay period of the internal CBB is a short period from the winning of the CBB1 (the game start operation that triggers the winning of the CBB1) to the stop display of the CBB symbol combination (about 1). It is a period equivalent to one game). In the following description, the reel stop mode when the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L is called a "specific stop mode", and the symbol combination corresponding to the re-play combination is displayed on the activated line L. The stop mode of the reels when the reels are called will be referred to as a "normal stop mode".

  For example, if the CBB2 is won by an internal lottery in RT4 (non-internal CBB), the winning flag control means 103 establishes the winning flags of the CBB combination and the re-gaming combination in duplicate, and the gaming state control means 107 sets the gaming state. From RT4 to internal CBB. When the stop button is operated after that, the reel control means 104 stops the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination is displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. In this case, since the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the activated line L, the winning flag control means 103 carries over the winning flag of the CBB combination to the next game, and the gaming state control means 107 maintains the gaming state in the internal CBB. .. Therefore, if CBB2 is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, the stay period of the internal CBB is at least longer than the stay period of the internal CBB in the case where the CBB1 is won in the non-internal CBB (about two games). More than a corresponding period).

  In the following description, the internal CBB migrated from non-RT (non-internal CBB) is "non-RT internal CBB", the internal CBB migrated from RT1 (non-internal CBB) is "RT1 internal CBB", RT2 (non-internal CBB). )), The internal CBB migrated from () is called "RT2 internal CBB", the internal CBB migrated from RT3 (non-internal CBB) is called "RT3 internal CBB", the internal CBB migrated from RT4 (non-internal CBB) is called "RT4 internal CBB" I will decide. Also, the CBB transferred from the non-RT internal CBB is “non-RTCBB”, the CBB transferred from the RT1 internal CBB is “RT1CBB”, the CBB transferred from the RT2 internal CBB is “RT2CBB”, and the CBB transferred from the RT3 internal CBB is “RT3CBB”. , And the CBB transferred from the RT4 internal CBB will be referred to as "RT4CBB".

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of the reels 30a to 30c based on the game start operation, and accelerates the rotation of the reels 30a to 30c until the reels 30a to 30c reach the steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute). After that, when each of the reels 30a to 30c reaches the steady rotation, the reel control unit 104 maintains the rotation speed of each reel to enable the operation of all the stop buttons 16a to 16c.

  Further, in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB, the reel control unit 104 stops the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms after the stop operation of the stop buttons 16a to 16c. Here, since the constant speed rotation speed of each reel 30a-c is about 80 times / minute, the time required for one rotation of each reel 30a-c under the constant speed rotation speed is 60 s / about 80 times ≈about 750 ms. Therefore, the time required to move one symbol by one frame (one area) is 750 ms / 20 symbols = 37.5 ms. Therefore, the reel can be rotated by a maximum of 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the corresponding stop button (5 symbols including the symbols displayed on the activated line at the timing of pressing the stop button). (190ms / 37.5ms) -1 pattern≈4 patterns). That is, the reel control means 104 stops each reel so that the symbols positioned within the range of four frames are displayed on the effective line L with reference to the symbol displayed on the position of the effective line L.

  On the other hand, in the CBB, the reel control unit 104 causes the rotation of one reel among the reels 30a to 30c to rotate the other reels within 75 ms from the stop operation of the stop button corresponding to the one reel. Each reel is controlled to stop within 190 ms after the stop button corresponding to the reel is stopped. Therefore, the one reel can be rotated by a maximum of 1 symbol (1 frame) from the pressing timing of the stop button (2 symbols including the pattern displayed on the activated line at the pressing timing of the stop button), etc. The reel can be rotated by up to 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the stop button.

  When a plurality of winning flags are simultaneously established, the reel control means 104 is within the range of four frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames, from the pressing timing of the stop button in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB, and the stop button in the CBB. Within the range of 4 frames or 1 frame which is the maximum number of sliding frames from the pressing timing, the symbol combination corresponding to the combination with the largest number of medals paid out among the respective combinations corresponding to the established winning flags is the effective line. The payout number priority control for controlling the reels to be displayed on L, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination so that the number of symbol combinations corresponding to the respective winning combinations corresponding to the plurality of winning flags that have been established is the largest. Number priority control for controlling the reels to be displayed on the activated line L, and in the internal CBB, a CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination The symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gaming combination rather than the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination, the reels are controlled to be preferentially displayed on the activated line L. First winning priority In control and CBB, the second winning priority control for controlling the reels to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination on the activated line L rather than the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gaming winning combination Based on a logic operation to search for a high symbol and / or a reference to a stop control table (not shown) stored in the main ROM in advance, priority is given to a symbol combination associated with a winning flag that has been established. The highest-ranked symbol is drawn in, and the symbol combination associated with the winning combination other than the established winning flag is not displayed on the activated line L. Cormorant kick, to stop the reel corresponding to the stop button.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the non-RT, RT1 to RT4 (second gaming state, non-internal CBB), the game state control means 107 ends the non-internal CBB when the internal lottery wins CBB1 or CBB2. Then, the game state is transferred to the internal CBB (non-RT internal CBB in FIG. 8, RT1 internal CBB to RT4 internal CBB, specific game state) (C1 in FIG. 8), and in the internal CBB, the CBB corresponding to the CBB combination When the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, the internal CBB is terminated and the CBB (non-RTCBB, RT1CBB to RT4CBB in FIG. 8, the first gaming state) is shifted (C2 in FIG. 8). Further, when the total number of medals paid out in the CBB reaches 14, the game state control means 107 ends the CBB and shifts to the original non-internal CBB (D in FIG. 8). The transition of the gaming state between non-RT and RT1 to RT4 (A1 to B3 in FIG. 8) will be described in detail when the winning areas are described.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the internal lottery for determining whether or not the plurality of types of winning areas are won or not is performed based on the operation of the start lever 15 (game start operation) while inserting the specified number of medals, and each reel 30a. ~ C is started, and one game is performed by stopping the rotation of each reel 30a-c based on the operation of the activated stop buttons 16a-c and the result of the internal lottery. Then, the effect mode control means 108 transmits a plurality of types of commands to the sub control processing unit 200 at a predetermined timing during one game, and the sub control processing unit 200 receives the plurality of types of commands. Based on this, the effect is executed by each effect device (sub monitor 6 or the like). Below, the effect mode control means 108 for controlling the effect mode, the main monitor control means 109 for controlling the main monitor 10, and the effect device control means 201 built in the sub-control processing section 200 will be described.

  The effect mode control means 108 performs a lottery (hereinafter referred to as an ART lottery) based on the winning area determined by the internal lottery, as to whether or not the effect mode is switched from the non-ART mode to the ART mode. For example, the production mode control unit 108 performs an ART lottery when the later-described strong cherry (see FIG. 5) is won in the internal lottery in the non-ART mode, and when the ART lottery is won, the main RAM of the main control processing unit 100. The number of times of ART game of a predetermined number (for example, 50 times) is stored in the number of ART games storage area 120 provided in, and an ART mode command for shifting the effect mode to the ART mode is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. When the sub control processing unit 200 receives the ART mode command, the rendering device control unit 201 controls the sub monitor 6 to shift the rendering mode from the non-ART mode to the ART mode.

  Incidentally, when the effect mode is first switched from the non-ART mode to the ART mode, the game state is usually RT1. In the ART mode of RT1, when the RT2 transition rep described later is won, the correct hit order of the stop button associated with the RT2 transition rep is displayed on the sub monitor 6. When the stop button is operated in accordance with this display, and the symbol combination corresponding to the RT2 shift rep, which is the trigger for shifting to RT2, is displayed on the activated line L, the gaming state shifts from RT1 to RT2. (A2 in FIG. 8). Similarly, in the ART mode in RT2, the stop button is operated in accordance with the correct hit order related to the RT3 shift rep described below displayed on the sub monitor 6, and the symbol combination corresponding to the RT3 shift rip is a trigger for the shift to RT3. When the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, the game state shifts from RT2 to RT3 (A3 in FIG. 8), and when the game state reaches RT3 in the ART mode, an advantageous ART game for the player is started. To be done.

  Based on the winning area determined by the internal lottery in the ART mode, the effect mode control unit 108 performs a lottery (hereinafter, referred to as an additional lottery) as to whether or not to add the number of ART games. For example, the effect mode control unit 108, in RT3 or RT4 in the ART mode, performs an additional lottery when a strong cherry is won, and when the additional lottery is won, the effect mode control unit 108 is a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). The number of ART games is added and stored in the number of ART games storage area 120, and an ART number of games command including the added number of ART games is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the ART game number command, the production device control unit 201 controls to display the information of the ART game number included in the ART game number command on the sub monitor 6.

  In addition, the production mode control means 108 subtracts “1” from the number of ART games stored in the number-of-ART-games storage area 120 for each game in the ART mode, and the ART game stored in the number-of-ART-games storage area 120. When the number of times becomes “0”, a non-ART mode command for shifting the effect mode to the non-ART mode is transmitted to the sub control processing unit 200. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the non-ART mode command, the rendering device control unit 201 controls the sub monitor 6 to shift the rendering mode from the ART mode to the non-ART mode.

  Furthermore, when the production mode control unit 108 wins a predetermined winning area (a winning area in which the correct hit order and the incorrect hit order are associated with each other, for example, RT2 transition rep 1 described later) in the internal lottery in the ART mode. Sends a correct hit order command for displaying the correct hit order associated with the winning area on the sub monitor 6, to the control processing unit 200. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the correct batting order command, the rendering device control unit 201 controls the sub monitor 6 to display the correct batting order information (batting order performance) included in the correct batting order command. For example, when the player wins the RT2 transition rep 1 by the internal lottery in the ART mode, the effect mode control unit 108 includes the correct batting order command including the batting order 1 (correct batting order) information associated with the RT2 moving rip 1. Is transmitted to the control processing unit 200, and the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the correct answer batting order command, the effect device control means 201 displays the batting order 1 information (batting order effect) on the sub monitor 6. In addition, in the ART mode in RT1, when the stop button is operated in batting order 1 when the player wins RT2 shift rip 1 in the internal lottery, the symbol combination for shifting the game state from RT1 to RT2 is on the activated line L. The game state is displayed and the game state is shifted from RT1 to RT2.

  When the production mode control unit 108 sends the correct answer batting order command to the control processing unit 200, the main monitor control means 109 provides batting order instruction information corresponding to the correct batting order information included in the correct batting order command to the main monitor 10. Control to display in.

  Next, each winning area, the winning combination associated with each winning area, the combination of symbols associated with the winning combination, and the transition of the game state will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4 to 8. The "batting order" shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is the operating order of the stop buttons 16a to 16c, and the "batting order 1" is the order of the left stop button 16a, the middle stop button 16b, and the right stop button 16c. Similarly, "Batting Order 2" is in the order of left → right → middle, "Batting Order 3" is in the order of middle → left → right, "Batting Order 4" is in the middle → right → left order, and "Batting Order 5" is right The order of → left → middle, "batt order 6" means the order of right → middle → left.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment example, 47 types of winning areas are provided, and one or a plurality of winning hands correspond to each winning area excluding “unwinning” of the winning area number 0. It is attached. Specifically, from normal rep to RT3 transition rep 6 (winning area number 1 to 30), re-playing role (REP 1 to 19), batting order bell 1-1 to strong cherry (winning area number 31 to 45) The small winning combinations (NML1 to 14), the CBB1 (winning area number 46) are associated with the CBB winning combination, and the CBB2 (winning area number 47) is associated with both the CBB winning combination and the replay winning combination (REP1).

  The normal game (winning area number 1) is associated with the replay combination REP1, and the normal game is subject to internal lottery in the non-RT and non-RT internal CBB (FIG. 4). The symbol combination associated with REP1 is, as shown in FIG. 6, a "replay symbol" arranged in the symbol column 31a, a "replay symbol" arranged in the symbol column 31b, and a "replay symbol" arranged in the symbol column 31c. It is composed of "designs". In the following description, the symbol combination associated with the winning combination is described as "a symbol arranged in the symbol column 31a"-"a symbol arranged in the symbol column 31b"-"a symbol arranged in the symbol column 31c". To do.

  A symbol combination of "replay symbol"-"replay symbol"-"replay symbol" is associated with REP1 associated with a normal rep (FIG. 6), and the replay symbol is a symbol string as shown in FIG. In any of 31a to 31c, the reels are evenly arranged at intervals of 4 frames within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames of the reel. As described above, the reel control means 104 stops each reel so that the symbols positioned within the range of four frames based on the symbol displayed on the position of the activated line L are displayed on the activated line L. Therefore, when the normal rep is won by the internal lottery in the non-RT, the reel control means 104 stops so that the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 is always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. .. In the following description, like the replay symbol, the symbol that is always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button is called "complete symbol", and the symbol combination associated with REP1 Thus, the symbol combination that is always displayed on the activated line L is called a "complete symbol combination" (so-called PB = 1) regardless of the operation mode of the stop button.

  Detailed explanations for 7 set rips, 7 incline rips, weak cherry rips, strong cherry rips, middle tier cherry rep 1, middle tier cherry rep 2 (winning area numbers 2 to 7) are omitted, but for example, middle tier lip 2 is the target of the internal lottery at RT1, and the effect mode control means 108 performs the ART lottery at RT1 in the non-ART mode triggered by the winning of the middle cherry rep 2. Further, for example, 7 sets of rep are subject to internal lottery at RT4, and the production mode control unit 108 carries out an additional lottery for the number of ART games at RT4 in ART mode with the winning of 7 sets of rep.

  REP10, 11, 16 is associated with the RT4 transition lip (winning area number 8) (FIG. 4), and for example, “white BAR symbol”-“replay symbol”-“bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol” is assigned to REP 11. The symbol combination “” is associated (FIG. 6). When the RT4 shift rip is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 can display the symbol combination corresponding to the RT4 shift rip on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. This will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 2, two white BAR symbols are arranged in the symbol numbers 8 and 18 in the symbol row 31a, and these two white BAR symbols are 9 frames beyond the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames. It is arranged at intervals. Therefore, when winning the RT4 transition lip in the internal lottery, any symbol in the region of the symbol numbers 12 to 8, 2 to 0, 19, and 18 (hereinafter, referred to as a retractable region) in the symbol column 31a is effective. When the left stop button 16a is operated when displayed on the line L, the reel control means 104 stops the left reel 30a so that the white BAR symbol of the symbol number 8 or the symbol number 18 is displayed on the effective line L. Let On the other hand, when the RT4 transition lip is won by the internal lottery, when the left stop button 16a is operated in the area of the symbol numbers 7 to 3 and 17 to 13 in the symbol row 31a (hereinafter, referred to as an unpullable area). The reel control means 104 stops the left reel 30a so that the white BAR symbol is not displayed on the activated line L. Further, as described above, the replay symbol in the symbol column 31b is a complete symbol which is always displayed on the activated line L, and further, in the symbol column 31c, the bell 1 symbol and the bell 2 symbol (hereinafter, simply bell 5) are arranged evenly at intervals of 3 frames within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding frames, so the bell symbols in the symbol row 31c are also complete symbols. In this way, among the symbols forming the symbol combination corresponding to the RT4 transition lip, the white BAR symbol is a symbol that cannot be displayed on the activated line L depending on the operation timing of the stop button (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol with spillage). Since the replay symbol and the bell symbol are complete symbols, the reel control means 104 can display the symbol combination corresponding to the RT4 shift rep on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. In the following description, like the symbol combination associated with the REP 11, the symbol combination that can be displayed on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the stop button is a “symbol combination with spill” (so-called PB ≠ 1). Say

  Further, the RT4 transition rip is a target of the internal lottery at RT1 to RT3, the RT4 transition rip is won in the internal lottery at RT1 to 3, and the symbol combination corresponding to REP10 or REP11 is displayed on the activated line L. If so, the game state control means 107 shifts the game state to RT4 (A4 in FIG. 8).

  REPs 1 and 2 are associated with the ART rep (winning area number 15), and the ART rep is targeted for internal lottery at RT3 to RT4, RT3 internal CBB to RT4 internal CBB, and RT3CBB to RT4CBB ( (Figure 4). When the ART rep is won by the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB, the reel control means 104 displays the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination associated with the ART rip on the activated line L. Stop the reel. On the other hand, when winning the ART rip in the internal lottery in the CBB, the small win associated with the medal number adjustment area (win area number 43) described later rather than the re-game role associated with the ART rip. , And the reel is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is displayed on the activated line L. In addition, as will be described in detail, in the CBB, a winning area (hereinafter, referred to as a winning area in which the player can obtain more medals (27) than the total medal payout of 14 medals, which is the condition for ending the CBB, in the CBB. It is called a CBB number adjustable lip).

  REPs 1, 7, and 16 are associated with the RT3 falling lip 1 (winning area number 16), and the RT3 falling lip 1 is a target of internal lottery at RT4, RT4 internal CBB, and RT4CBB. When the stop button is operated in batting order 1 or batting order 2 (correct batting order) when the player wins RT3 falling lip 1 in the internal lottery in RT4, the reel control means 104 responds to REP1 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. While stopping the reels to display the symbol combination to be displayed on the activated line L, the game state control means 107 maintains the game state at RT4. On the other hand, if the stop button is operated in the batting order 3 to 6 (incorrect batting order) when the player wins the RT3 falling lip 1 in the internal lottery in RT4, the reel control means 104 causes the REP 7 to operate regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. While stopping the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to is displayed on the activated line L, the game state control means 107 shifts the game state from RT4 to RT3 (B3 in FIG. 8). That is, the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 is the symbol combination that triggers the transition to RT3.

  Further, the RT3 falling lip 1 functions as a winning area (CBB number adjustable lip) that allows the player to obtain 27 medals in RT4CBB, similar to the ART lip. This will be described in detail when explaining the medal number adjustment area (winning area number 43).

  Further, the RT3 falling lip 1 functions as a winning area for adding the number of ART games (giving a privilege) in the RT4 internal CBB in the ART mode. That is, in the RT4 internal CBB, when the RT3 fall down lip 1 is won, the effect mode control means 108 carries out an additional lottery on whether or not to additionally store the number of ART games in the ART game number storage area 120. When the RT3 falling lip 1 is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB and the stop button is operated, the reel stop mode becomes the first special stop mode associated with the REP 16 (special winning combination).

  The first special stop mode will be described in detail. When the RT3 falling lip 1 is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the reel control means 104 makes the REP 1 associated with the RT3 falling lip 1 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. , 7 is given priority over REP16, and the reel is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to REP16 is displayed on the activated line L. At this time, the reel stop mode is, as shown in FIG. 7A, "replay symbol"-"replay symbol"-"star symbol", "replay symbol"-"replay symbol"-"white BAR symbol", And one of the symbol combinations of "replay symbol"-"replay symbol"-"cherry symbol" (hereinafter referred to as special symbol combination T) is displayed on the middle stage (effective line L) of each reel 30a to 30c. This is the first special stop mode. Therefore, the player can know that the additional lottery has been performed because the reel stop mode has become the first special stop mode.

  When the RT3 falling lip 1 is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the reel control means 104 changes the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 is displayed on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the stop button. You may stop it. Here, the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 is the symbol combination that triggers the transition to RT3, but the RT4 internal CBB corresponds to REP7 in the RT4 internal CBB because the winning flag of the CBB combination is established. Even if the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, the game state control means 107 controls the game state not to shift from RT4 internal CBB to RT3.

  REP 1, 2, 7, and 16 are associated with the RT3 falling lip 2 (winning area number 17) (FIG. 4). Although a detailed description is omitted, RT3 falling lip 2 functions as a winning area that triggers a transition to RT3 in RT4, as in RT3 falling lip 1, and a trigger for additional lottery in RT4 internal CBB Of RT4CBB, and also as a winning area (CBB number adjustable lip) where 27 medals can be won in RT4CBB.

  RT3 Falling Lip 3 (winning area number 18) is associated with REPs 7, 17, and 19 (FIG. 4). Similar to RT3 Fall Lips 1 and 2, RT3 Fall Lip 3 functions as a winning area that triggers the transition to RT3 in RT4, and as a trigger area for additional lottery in RT4 internal CBB (privilege grant) It functions and functions as a winning area (CBB number adjustable lip) in which RT 27 CBB can obtain 27 medals. Specifically, among the re-gaming roles associated with the RT3 fall down lip 3, REP7 is a re-gaming role that becomes a transition timing to RT3, and REP17 (special role) is a timing to execute the additional lottery (privilege granting). It is a re-gaming role that serves as a trigger), and a REP 19 is a re-gaming role for maintaining RT4.

  Here, the function of awarding in the RT4 internal CBB of the RT3 falling lip 3 will be described in detail. When the RT3 falling lip 3 is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the effect mode control means 108 carries out the additional lottery, and the reel control means 104 is associated with the RT3 falling lip 3 regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The REP 17 is given priority over the REPs 7 and 19, and the reel is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to the REP 17 is displayed on the activated line L. As shown in FIG. 6, the symbol combination associated with the REP 17 is "Bell 1 symbol or Bell 2 symbol"-"White BAR symbol or Watermelon 1 symbol"-"Red 7 symbol or Watermelon 1 symbol or Watermelon 2 symbol" Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7 (2), the reels are stopped in the second special stop mode in which the special symbol combination T is displayed in the lower stage of each reel 30a to 30c. Therefore, the player can know that the additional lottery has been performed because the reel stop mode has become the second special stop mode. In addition, in the following description, the RT3 fall lips 1 to 3 are simply referred to as “RT3 fall lips”.

  The REPs 1 and 4 are associated with the RT2 transfer lip 1 (winning area number 19), and the RT2 transfer lip 1 is the target of the internal lottery at RT1 (FIG. 4). When the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 (correct answer batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button when the player wins the RT2 transition rip 1 in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to REP4 (Fig. 6) is displayed on the activated line L, the reel is stopped, and the game state control means 107 shifts (promotes) the game state from RT1 to RT2 (A2 in FIG. 8). On the other hand, when the stop button is operated in a batting order other than batting order 1 (incorrect batting order) when the RT2 transition rip 1 is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 to be the effective line L. The game state control means 107 controls the game state to be maintained at RT1 while stopping the reel to be displayed. It should be noted that the RT2 transition rep 2 to 6 are different from the RT2 transition rep 1 only in the correct hit order and other configurations are the same, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  The REPs 1, 7 to 9 are associated with the RT3 transition lip 1 (winning area number 25), and the RT3 transition lip 1 is the target of the internal lottery at RT2 (FIG. 4). If the stop button is operated in the batting order 1 (correct answer batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button when the RT3 transition rip 1 is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to REP7 ( While the reel is stopped so that (FIG. 6) is displayed on the activated line L, the game state control means 107 shifts (promotes) the game state from RT2 to RT3 (A3 in FIG. 8). On the other hand, if the stop button is operated in an batting order other than batting order 1 (incorrect batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button when the RT3 transition rip 1 is won by the internal lottery in RT2, the reel control means 104 causes While stopping the reel so as to display the symbol combination (FIG. 6) corresponding to REP8 or REP9 on the activated line L, the game state control means 107 shifts (falls) the game state from RT2 to RT1 (in FIG. 8). B1). It should be noted that the RT3 transition rep 2 to 6 are different from the RT3 transition rep 1 only in the correct hit order and the other configurations are the same, and thus detailed description will be omitted.

  The batting order bell 1-1 (winning area number 31) is associated with NMLs 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 13 (FIG. 5). If the stop button is operated at batting order 1 (correct answer batting order) regardless of the operation timing of the stop button when the batting order bell 1-1 is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 causes the symbol combination corresponding to NML1 ( 6) is displayed on the activated line L, and when the stop button is operated in a batting order other than batting order 1 (incorrect batting order), NMLs 3, 4, 6, are selected according to the operation timing of the stop button. The reel is stopped so as to display the symbol combination corresponding to any of the small winning combinations among 9, 10, and 13.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, among the small wins associated with the batting order bell 1-1, the number of payout medals preliminarily associated with NML1 is set to 9 and associated with other small wins. The number of paid-out medals is set to one each. Therefore, in order for the NML1 that can obtain the most medals among the small wins associated with the batting order bell 1-1 to be displayed on the activated line L and to win the prize, the batting order bell 1-1 is won by the internal lottery. In this case, it is necessary to operate the stop button in batting order 1 (correct batting order), and if the stop button is operated in batting order other than batting order 1 (incorrect batting order), 9 medals cannot be acquired. It is like this. Further, when the batting order bell 1-1 is won in the internal lottery in RT2, the stop button is operated in any one of the batting orders 2 to 6 (incorrect batting order), and any of the small wins corresponding to the batting order bell 1-1. If no prize has been won (hereinafter referred to as "bell spill"), the gaming state control means 107 shifts (falls) the gaming state from RT2 to RT1 (B1 in FIG. 8). For example, when the stop button is operated at batting order 6 when the batting order bell 1-1 is won in the internal lottery at RT2, a combination of symbols corresponding to NML10, NML13 or BLK1 (FIG. 6) is displayed on the activated line L. obtain. At this time, when NML10 or NML13 is won due to the operation timing of the stop button, one medal is paid out and the game state is maintained at RT2, but when neither NML10 nor NML13 is won. , The symbol combination corresponding to BLK1 (FIG. 6) is displayed on the activated line L without medals being paid out, and the bell spills, and the game state shifts from RT2 to RT1. In the following description, batting order bell 1-1 to batting order bell 6-2 are simply referred to as "batting order bell".

  Although detailed description of the batting order bell 2-1 to batting order bell 6-2 (winning area numbers 32 to 42) is omitted, as shown in FIG. 5, the batting order bell 2-1 to batting order bell 6-2 are described. A plurality of small wins are associated with each other, and NML1 capable of acquiring nine medals is associated with all of batting order bell 2-1 to batting order bell 6-2. Then, as in the batting order bell 1-1, the correct batting order capable of displaying the symbol combination corresponding to NML1 on the activated line L is associated with each batting order bell, and any one of the internal lottery in RT2 to RT4 is performed. When the player hits the batting order bell and the "bell spill" occurs due to the operation of the stop button in the incorrect batting order, the gaming state control means 107 shifts the gaming state to RT1 (B1 and B2 in FIG. 8). Further, the game state control means 107 shifts the game state from non-RT to RT1 when the stop button is operated in the incorrect answer sequence and "bell spill" occurs when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery in non-RT (Fig. A1 in 8.).

  NMLs 15 to 18 are associated with the medal number adjustment area (winning area number 43), and the medal number adjustment area is the target of the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB (FIG. 5). Among the small wins associated with the medal number adjustment area, the number of payout medals for NML15 to 16 (first small win) is set to 13 and the number of paid out medals for NML17 to 18 (second small win) is set to 14. (Fig. 6). When the stop button is operated in the batting order 1-2 when the medal number adjustment area is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 gives priority to NML17-18 over NML15-16, and corresponds to NML17-18. The reels are stopped so that the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, and the medal payout control means 105 pays out 14 medals. On the other hand, when the stop button is operated in the batting order 3 to 6, the reel control means 104 gives priority to the NMLs 15 to 16 over the NMLs 17 to 18, and displays the symbol combination corresponding to the NMLs 15 to 16 on the activated line L. The reels are stopped and the medal payout control means 105 pays out 13 medals.

  As described above, in RT4CBB, the winning flags for all the small wins are established, and when either the RT rip or the RT3 falling lip (CBB number adjustable lip) is won in the internal lottery in RT4CBB. In addition, the reel control unit 104 prioritizes the medal number adjustment area over the CBB number adjustable lip, and displays the reel on the activated line L so as to display the symbol combination related to the small win associated with the medal number adjustment area. Stop. At this time, when the effect mode is the ART mode, the batting order effects related to batting orders 3 to 6 are displayed on the sub monitor 6, and when the stop button is operated in accordance with this display, the reel control means 104 causes all of the RT4CBBs. Due to the fact that the winning flag of the small winning combination is established, the reels are stopped so that the symbol combinations associated with NMLs 15 to 16 are displayed on the activated line L, and the medal payout means 105 pays out 13 medals, The gaming state control means 107 maintains the gaming state at RT4CBB because the total number of medals payout, which is the CBB end condition, has not reached 14. Then, following this game, the next game will stay in the game state of RT4CBB in the next game, and if the CBB number adjusting lip is won in the internal lottery in the next game, the batting order related to batting order 1-2 on the sub monitor 6 When the production is displayed and the stop button is operated in accordance with this display, the reel control means 104 displays the symbol combination associated with the NMLs 17 to 18 on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The medal payout means 105 pays out 14 medals, and the game state control means 107 has reached the total of 27 medals (13 + 14 = 27), with the total number of medals paid out in RT4CBB exceeding 14 Thereby, RT4CBB is ended, and the game state is shifted to the original RT4 which is a non-internal CBB. As a result, the winning of the CBB number adjustable lip (RT lip, RT3 falling lip) in RT4CBB allows the player to obtain 27 medals. Incidentally, when the CBB number adjustable lip is not won in the internal lottery in the next game, the reel control means 104 is all due to the fact that the winning flags of all the small wins are set in RT4CBB. The reel is stopped so that the symbol combination associated with the small winning combination having the largest number of paid-out medals among the small winning combinations is displayed on the activated line L (payout priority control). As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in RT4CBB, the maximum number of medals to be paid out is 14 out of the number of medals to be paid out for each small winning combination, and therefore, the CBB number adjustable lip is won in the next game. Similarly to the case, the medal payout means 105 pays out 14 medals, and the game state control means 107 terminates RT4CBB when the total number of medal payouts in RT4CBB exceeds 14, so that the gaming state becomes the non-internal CBB. To the original RT4 which is.

  On the other hand, in the first internal lottery performed when the game state shifts from the RT4 internal CBB to the RT4 CBB, when the CBB number adjustable lip is not won, the reel control means 104 causes all the small wins in the RT4 CBB. Due to the fact that the winning flag has been established, the reels are stopped so that the symbol combination associated with the small winning combination having the largest number of medal paying out of all small winning combinations is stopped, and the medal paying-out means is started. 105 pays out 14 medals, and the gaming state control means 107 ends RT4CBB when the total number of medals paid out in RT4CBB exceeds 14, and shifts the gaming state to the original RT4 which is a non-internal CBB. .

  Unlike the RT3 falling lip, the ART rip is also subject to internal lottery in the RT3 internal CBB. Therefore, in the RT3 internal CBB in the ART mode, when winning the ART rip in the internal lottery, 27 medals are paid out on condition that the stop button is operated according to the batting order effect displayed on the sub monitor 6. Will be done.

  Strong cherries (winning area number 45) are associated with NMLs 14 and 19, and strong cherries are subject to internal lottery in the non-internal CBB and the internal CBB (FIG. 5). As shown in FIG. 6, in NML14 "Bell 1 design or Bell 2 design"-"Red 7 design or Black BAR"-"Red 7 design, Watermelon 1 design, Watermelon 2 design, Bell 1 design or Bell 2 design" ( Hereinafter, it is associated with the first special symbol combination), "white BAR symbol"-"cherry symbol"-"red 7 symbol, bell 1 symbol, bell 2 symbol or white BAR symbol" (hereinafter referred to as NML19) , The second special symbol combination.) Are associated.

  Among the symbols constituting the first special symbol combination of NML14, the bell symbol (bell 1 symbol, bell 2 symbol) in the symbol column 31a is a complete symbol which is always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. And similarly, the bell symbols in the symbol row 31c are also complete symbols. Here, the red 7 symbol and the black BAR symbol in the symbol column 31b are arranged in symbol numbers 2, 7, and 17, respectively, as shown in FIG. 2, and are symbol number 2 and symbol number 7, symbol number 17 and symbol number 2 Are the symbol numbers respectively existing within the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames, but the symbol numbers 7 and 17 are present at 9 frame intervals beyond the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames. It is the symbol number to be done. Therefore, among the symbols forming the first special symbol combination, the red 7 symbol and the black BAR symbol in the symbol row 31b are symbols with spillage. Therefore, the first special symbol combination is a symbol combination with spillage, and when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 is associated with the NML 14 according to the operation mode of the middle stop button 16b. The first special symbol combination can be displayed on the activated line L.

  Among the symbols constituting the second special symbol combination of NML19, the white BAR symbol in the symbol column 31a is a symbol with a spill that cannot be displayed on the activated line L depending on the operation timing of the stop button, as described above, The cherry symbols in the symbol row 31b are perfect symbols because four cherry symbols are arranged at intervals of four frames within the range of four frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames. Here, the red 7 symbol, the bell 1 symbol, the bell 2 symbol and the white BAR symbol in the symbol column 31c are arranged in the symbol numbers 2, 4, 5, 9, 13, 15 and 17, respectively, and the symbol number 2 and the symbol number. 4, symbol number 4 and symbol number 5, symbol number 5 and symbol number 9, symbol number 9 and symbol number 13, symbol number 13 and symbol number 15, symbol number 15 and symbol number 17, symbol number 17 and symbol number 2 , The symbol numbers are present within the range of 4 frames, which is the maximum number of sliding symbols (FIG. 2), and thus are complete symbols. Therefore, the second special symbol combination is a symbol combination with spillage, and when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 is associated with the NML 19 according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. The second special symbol combination can be displayed on the activated line L.

  As described above, the first special symbol combination of NML14 is composed of the complete symbol arranged in the symbol column 31a, the spilled symbol arranged in the symbol column 31b, and the complete symbol arranged in the symbol column 31c. The two special symbol combinations are composed of spilled symbols arranged in the symbol column 31a, complete symbols arranged in the symbol column 31b, and complete symbols arranged in the symbol column 31c (see FIG. 11). Therefore, the NML 14 and the NML 19 differ from each other in the reels (symbol rows) on which the symbols with spills that cannot be displayed on the activated line L are arranged depending on the operation timing of the stop button. Then, the NML 14 and the NML 19 in which the reels having the spilled symbols are different from each other are associated with the strong cherry which is the same winning area. It should be noted that how the first special symbol combination or the second special symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery will be described in detail later.

  The CBB1 (winning area number 46) is independently associated with the CBB combination (specific combination), and the CBB1 is a non-internal CBB (non-RT, RT1 to 4) and is the target of the internal lottery (FIG. 5). . "Replay symbol"-"bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol"-"bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol" is associated with the CBB combination (Fig. 6). All the symbols forming the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination are complete symbols which are always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button in the symbol arrays 31a to 31c. Therefore, the CBB symbol combination is a complete symbol combination, and when the CBB1 is won in the internal lottery, the reel control means 104 displays the CBB symbol combination on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Stop the reel. When the gaming state control means 107 wins the CBB1 in the internal lottery, the non-internal CBB is terminated and moved to the internal CBB, and when the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, the internal CBB is terminated and shifted to CBB ( (Fig. 8).

  CBB2 (winning area number 47) is associated with a CBB combination (specific combination) and REP1 (normal combination) in an overlapping manner, and CBB2 is a non-internal CBB (non-RT, RT1 to 4) and is targeted for internal lottery. Has become. When CBB2 is won by the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, the game state control means 107 ends the non-internal CBB and shifts to the internal CBB (FIG. 8). Here, the CBB symbol combination is a complete symbol combination, and the symbol combination associated with REP1 is also a complete symbol combination, but the reel control means 104 in the internal CBB is a replay game rather than a symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination. The reels are controlled so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is preferentially displayed on the activated line L (first winning combination priority control). If CBB2 is won in the internal lottery, the game state shifts to the internal CBB, but since the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the activated line L, the game state control means 107 keeps the game state in the internal CBB. Then, in the internal CBB, if the winning area "unwinning (winning area number 0)" where the result of the internal lottery is lost is won, the winning flag of the CBB combination is set independently, so reel control The means 104 stops the reel so as to display the CBB symbol combination on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, and the game state control means 107 shifts the game state from the internal CBB to the CBB.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the winning probability of the winning area which changes with the transition of the game state will be described. 9 and 10, "rare role lip at RT1" means weak cherry lip, middle cherry lip 2, strong water calip, weak water calip 1,2, non-slip chance lip that triggers ART lottery. , Is a generic term for slip chance lip, and "rare role lip in RT3" is a trigger for the additional lottery of the number of ART games, a set of 7 lip, weak cherry lip, middle cherry lip 1, strong water lip, weak water lip 1, 2. Non-slip chance lip, a generic term for slip chance lip, and “rare role lip in RT4” means 7 sets of lip, strong cherry lip, middle cherry lip 1, strong water lip, no slip, which is the trigger for the additional lottery. It is a generic term for chance lip and slip chance lip. Also, illustration and description of the non-RT and non-RT internal CBB are omitted.

  In RT1, the winning probability of the re-gaming combination, that is, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gaming combination is set to about 1/7 (8978 random number values for internal lottery), and the breakdown is , The winning probability of RT2 transition rip is 1 / 8.2 (7955 random number for internal lottery), the winning probability of rare role lip is 3/256 (768 random number for internal lottery), CBB2 win The probability is 1/256 (256 random number values for internal lottery). In addition, the winning probability of the unwinning in RT1 is set to a relatively high probability of 1 / 1.8 (35821 random number values for internal lottery), and the winning probability of CBB1 in which the CBB winning combination is associated alone Is set to 1/16 (4096 random number values for internal lottery), and the winning probability of the strong cherry at RT1 is set to 1/256 (256 random number values for internal lottery). The rare role lip (3/256) and strong cherry (1/256) are the winning areas that trigger the execution of the ART lottery, so the expected value of the ART lottery in one game at RT1 is 1/64 (3 / 256 + 1/256 = 4/256).

  As in RT1, in the RT1 internal CBB that is triggered by the winning of CBB2 in RT1, the winning probability of the re-gaming combination (the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gaming combination) is set to about 1/7. The winning probability of the rare role lip (3/256) and the strong cherry (1/256) that triggers the ART lottery is set to 1/64 (3/256 + 1/256 = 4/256). (FIG. 9).

  In RT2, as compared with RT1, RT3 transition rep is targeted for internal lottery instead of RT2 transition rep, but since it is set to the same winning probability as RT1 such as the re-game combination winning probability and CBB2. Illustration and description are omitted.

  In RT3, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-gaming combination is set to approximately 1 / 1.5 (the number of random value for internal lottery is 44778), and the breakdown is the winning probability of the ART lip. Approximately 1 / 1.5 (43690 random number values for the internal lottery), the winning probability of rare role lip is 3/256 (768 random number values for the internal lottery), and RT4 that triggers the transition to RT4. The winning probability of the transfer lip is 1/1024 (64 random number values for internal lottery), and the winning probability of CBB2 is 1/256 (256 random number values for internal lottery). In RT3, the winning probability of unwinning is set to 0, the winning probability of CBB1 is set to 1/16 (4096 random number for internal lottery), and the winning probability of strong cherry in RT3 is 1/256 (internal lottery). Is set to 256 random number values). In RT3, the rare role lip (3/256) and strong cherry (1/256) are the winning areas that trigger the execution of the additional lottery, so the expected value of the additional lottery in RT3 is 1/64 (3/256 + 1 / 256 = 4/256).

  At RT4, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-play combination (hereinafter referred to as the re-play winning probability of RT4) is set to about 1 / 1.5, which is the same as RT3, and the breakdown is ART. The winning probability of the product lip is about 1 / 5.6 (the number of random values for the internal lottery is 11,700), the winning probability of the rare role lip is 1/4 (the number of random number for the internal lottery is 16384), and it falls to RT3. The winning probability of the RT3 falling lip that is the trigger is 1/4 (the number of random values for the internal lottery is 16384), and the winning probability of the CBB2 is 1/256 (the number of random numbers for the internal lottery is 256). Also, in RT4, the winning probability of unwinning is set to 0, the winning probability of CBB1 is set to 1/16 (4096 random number values for internal lottery), and the winning probability of strong cherry is 1/256 (internal The number of random numbers for lottery is 256). Since the rare role lip (1/4) and strong cherry (1/256) are the winning areas that trigger the execution of the additional lottery, the expected value of the additional lottery at RT4 is about 1/4 (1/4 + 1/256). ). Therefore, it can be said that RT4 is in a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than RT3.

  In the RT4 internal CBB, the winning area associated with the re-game combination (hereinafter referred to as the RT4 internal CBB re-game winning probability) is set to about 1 / 1.5 which is the same as the RT4 re-game combination probability. Among them, the winning probability of ART rip is about 1 / 5.6, the winning probability of rare role lip is 1/4, the winning probability of RT3 falling lip is 1/4, the winning probability of normal lip is 1 It is / 256. Here, as described above, the RT3 falling lip functions as a winning area for shifting the game state to RT3 in RT4, but functions as a winning area for executing the additional lottery in RT4 internal CBB, and RT4 internal When the RT3 falling lip is won in the internal lottery in the CBB, the reel control means 104 reels so as to display the symbol combination associated with the re-game combination (REP16, 17), which is a trigger for executing the additional lottery, on the activated line L. To stop. Therefore, in the RT4 internal CBB, in addition to the rare combination lip (1/4) and the strong cherry (1/256), the RT3 falling lip (1/4) becomes the winning area that triggers the addition lottery. As a result, the expected value for the additional lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is about 1/2 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/4).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the internal lottery means 102 has a winning probability of a re-game combination of about 1/7 in the RT1 internal CBB (first specific game state), and a rare combination play that triggers the execution of the ART lottery. And the internal lottery is performed by referring to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the strong cherry is 1/64, and in the RT4 internal CBB, the winning probability of the re-gaming combination is about 1 / 1.5, and the lottery is added to the number of ART games. The internal lottery is performed with reference to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the rare role lip, the strong cherry, and the RT3 falling lip that is the execution timing of is about 1/2.

  By the way, according to the "Rules for the authorization and type verification of gaming machines", the probability that the condition device related to re-game will operate is that the condition device related to the operation of the first-class special accessory or accessory continuous operation device operates. The winning probability of the re-gaming combination can be changed when the winning of the CBB combination is triggered in the slot machine S of the present embodiment as well. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the replay winning probability of RT4 (about 1 / 1.5) and the replay winning probability of RT4 internal CBB (about 1 / 1.5) are set to be the same. The winning probability of the re-game combination is not changed when the winning of the CBB combination is triggered. Here, in the RT4 internal CBB, since the winning flag of the CBB combination is established, the winning probability of CBB1 and CBB2 is 0. However, in the present embodiment, the internal probability associated with CBB1 in RT4 is set. The random number number "4096" for lottery is directly associated with the un-winning in which none of the roles is associated, the winning probability of unwinning is 1/16, and the internal lottery is associated with CBB2. The number "256" of random number values is directly associated with the normal replay associated with the REP 1, and the winning probability of the normal rep is 1/256. That is, the winning probability of the re-gaming combination is not changed between RT4 (non-internal CBB) and RT4 internal CBB (internal CBB) when the winning of the CBB combination is triggered, and the re-play winning probability of RT4 and the re-playing of RT4 internal CBB are performed. In order to hold the winning probability with the same probability (about 1 / 1.5), the internal lottery means 102 determines that the winning probability of the winning area “unwin” is 0/65536 and the winning area “CBB1” is RT4. An internal lottery is performed with reference to a winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability is 1/16, and in the RT4 internal CBB, a winning probability lottery table in which the unprobability of RT4 and the winning probability of CBB1 of RT4 are exchanged, that is, Refer to the winning probability lottery table where the winning probability of the winning area "Unwinning" is 1/16 and the winning probability of the winning area "CBB1" is 0/65536. The lottery is carried out.

  In this way, the winning probability of the winning area associated with the re-game combination is set to about 1/7 for RT1 and RT2, and about 1 / 1.5 for RT3 and RT4. Therefore, for RT3 and RT4, It is easier to win the winning area related to the re-play combination than RT1 and RT2, and it is possible to suppress the consumption of medals and proceed with the game. In RT3 and RT4, the effect mode may stay in the ART mode. In this ART mode, the correct batting order related to the batting order bell is displayed on the main monitor 10 and the sub monitor 6. Therefore, in the ART mode, it is possible to easily obtain medals and suppress the consumption of medals to progress the game.

  Then, in the present embodiment example, when the RT3 falling lip is won in the RT4 internal lottery, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-play combination (REP7 etc.) other than the special combination (REP16, REP17) that triggers the additional lottery The reel stop control is performed so as to display on the activated line L, but the game state is shifted from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB by winning the CBB2 in the internal lottery of RT4, and the winning flag of the CBB role is established. If it becomes, the reel stop control is changed, and if you win the RT3 falling lip in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the special winning combination (REP16, REP17) that triggers the additional lottery is effective line. The reel stop control is performed so that L is displayed (the reel stop mode is the first and second special stop modes). As described above, the slot machine S of the present embodiment controls reels to be stopped so that the probability of winning the special winning combination, which is a trigger for executing the additional lottery, is high upon the transition from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB. It has been changed to raise the expected value for additional lottery.

  Next, a reel stop mode when a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15. 12 shows the case where the left stop button 30a among the stop buttons 30a to 30c is operated first, FIG. 13 shows the case where the middle stop button 30b among the stop buttons 30a to 30c is operated first, and FIG. The reel stop mode when the right stop button 30c of the stop buttons 30a to 30c is first operated is described. For convenience of explanation, among the first special symbol combinations associated with the NML 14, the symbols (bell 1 symbol or bell 2 symbol) arranged in the symbol column 31a are "left symbol of NML 14", symbol column 31b. The pattern (red 7 pattern or black BAR pattern) arranged in "the middle pattern of NML14", the pattern arranged in the pattern row 31c (red 7 pattern, watermelon 1 pattern, watermelon 2 pattern, bell 1 pattern or bell) 2 symbols) will be referred to as the "right pattern of NML14". Similarly, in the second special symbol combination associated with NML19, the symbol (white BAR symbol) arranged in the symbol column 31a is "left symbol of NML19", the symbol arranged in the symbol column 31b (cherry). The symbol) is a "middle pattern of NML19", and the symbols (red 7 symbol, bell 1 symbol, bell 2 symbol or white BAR symbol) arranged in the symbol column 31c are called "right symbol of NML 19". To do.

Figure 11:
When the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery, the winning flags of NML14 and NML19 are duplicated, so that the candidates of symbols displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG.

12 (1) to 12 (3):
As shown in FIG. 12 (1), it is assumed that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol with the symbol number 3 in the symbol column 31a comes to the position of the activated line L. In this case, the symbols in the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbols (symbol number 3), replay symbols (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbols (symbol number 1) No.), watermelon 2 design (designation number 0), cherry design (designation number 19). Therefore, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 which is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the activated line L, and as shown in FIG. 12 (2), the left symbol of NML14 which is a complete symbol (bell 1 Of the symbols or the bell 2 symbol), the bell 1 symbol within the pull-in range is displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 12 (3).

12 (4a), (4b):
The medium symbols of NML14 (red 7 symbols and black BAR symbols) which are the candidates of symbols displayed on the effective line L are symbols with spillage, and the medium symbols of this NML14 can be displayed on the effective line L and can be pulled in. The area is an area other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol row 31b (see FIG. 2). Therefore, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L, the medium symbol (red 7) of the NML 14 is operated. The middle reel 30b is stopped so that the symbol and the black BAR symbol) are displayed on the activated line L (FIG. 12 (4a)). On the other hand, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L, the medium symbol of NML14 (red 7 symbol and The middle reel 30b is stopped so that symbols other than the black BAR symbol) are displayed on the activated line L (FIG. 12 (4b)).

12 (5a), (5b):
The right design of NML14 (red 7 design, watermelon 1 design, watermelon 2 design, bell 1 design or bell 2 design) is a complete design that is always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, When the right stop button 16c is operated, the right symbol of the NML 14 is displayed on the activated line L. For this reason, when the right symbol (bell 1 symbol) and the middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of NML 14 are displayed on the activated line L (FIG. 12 (4a)), the right stop button 16c is operated. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (5a), the first special symbol combination associated with the NML 14 is displayed on the activated line L, and the medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the middle symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of NML14 is not displayed on the activated line L (FIG. 12 (4b)), when the right stop button 16c is operated, it is changed to FIG. 12 (5b). As shown, the symbol combination of both NML14 and NML19 will not be displayed on the activated line L, and the so-called small win will be missed, and medals will not be paid out.

13 (1) to 13 (3):
As shown in FIG. 13, in a state where the winning flags of NML14 and NML19 are overlapped and established, the middle stop button 16b is operated when the symbol number 15 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L. To do. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are the watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15) and the cherry symbol (symbol number 14) among the symbols arranged in the symbol row 31b. No.), Bell 2 design (design number 13), star design (design number 12), replay design (design number 11). Therefore, the medium symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of NML 14 which is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates displayed on the activated line L become the second special symbol combination associated with the NML 19 as shown in FIG. 13 (2). Therefore, when the stop button 16b is operated within the pull-in range, the middle symbol (cherry symbol) of the NML 19 which is a complete symbol is displayed on the activated line L as shown in FIG. 13C.

13 (4a), (4b):
The left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 is a symbol with spillage, and the retractable area in which the left symbol of this NML19 can be displayed on the effective line L is, as described above, the symbol numbers 12 to 8 in the symbol string 31a. Area and the area of symbol numbers 2-0 and 19-18 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, when an arbitrary symbol in the pull-in region (region of symbol numbers 12-8, region of symbol numbers 2-0 and 19-18) comes to the position of the activated line L, the left stop button 16a is operated. In that case, as shown in FIG. 13 (4a), the left reel 30a is stopped so that the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 is displayed on the activated line L. On the other hand, when the left stop button 16a is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region other than the pull-in region in the symbol array 31a comes to the position of the activated line L, as shown in FIG. 13 (4b), The left reel 30a is stopped so that symbols other than the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 are displayed on the activated line L.

13 (5a), (5b):
Since the right symbol of NML19 (red 7 symbol, bell 1 or bell 2, white BAR symbol) is a complete symbol, the right symbol of NML 19 is displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the right stop button 16c. Therefore, when the left symbol (white BAR symbol) and the middle symbol (cherry symbol) of NML19 are displayed on the activated line L (FIG. 13 (4a)), when the right stop button 16c is operated As shown in FIG. 13 (5a), the second special symbol combination associated with the NML 19 is displayed on the activated line L, and the medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 is not displayed on the activated line L (FIG. 13 (4b)), when the right stop button 16c is operated, as shown in FIG. 13 (5b). In addition, the symbol combinations of both NML14 and NML19 are not displayed on the activated line L, and so-called small wins are missed, and medals are not paid out.

FIG. 14 (1):
As shown in FIG. 14 (1), when the winning flags of NML14 and NML19 are overlapped and established, the left stop button 16c is activated when the symbol number 12 in the symbol column 31c comes to the position of the activated line L. It is supposed to be operated. In this case, the symbols within the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are star symbols (symbol number 12), watermelon 2 symbols (symbol number 11), replay symbols (symbol number 10) ), Bell 1 design (design number 9), cherry design (design number 8). Therefore, the right pattern of NML14 which is a complete design (red 7 design, watermelon 1 design, watermelon 2 design, bell 1 design or bell 2 design) is red 7 design, watermelon 1 design and bell 2 design, complete design. Of the right symbols (red 7 symbols, bell 1 or bell 2, white BAR symbols) of NML 19, the red 7 symbols, bell 2 and white BAR symbols are not displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 14 (2).

14 (3) to (4):
As shown in FIG. 14 (2), the candidates of symbols that can be displayed on the activated line L in the symbol column 31c are the bell 1 symbol and the watermelon 2 symbol, but these two symbols are both symbol numbers in the symbol column 31c. It is a design (star design, watermelon 2 design, replay design, bell 1 design, cherry design) that is within the pull-in range when the left stop button 16c is operated when the number 12 comes to the position of the activated line L. Here, as shown in FIG. 14C, when the watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 11) in the symbol string 31c is displayed on the activated line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is 4 When the bell 1 symbol (symbol number 9) in the symbol column 31c is displayed on the activated line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is five. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 (4), when the right stop button 16c is operated when the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 12 in the symbol column 31c comes to the position of the activated line L, the number of symbol combinations is changed. The right reel 30c is stopped so that the largest number of Bell 1 symbols is displayed on the activated line L (number priority control).

15 (1), (2a) to (4a):
When the bell symbol 1 in the symbol column 31c is displayed on the activated line L, the candidates of symbols that can be displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 15 (1). As shown in FIG. 15 (2a), it is assumed that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol with the symbol number 3 in the symbol column 31a comes to the position of the activated line L. In this case, the symbols in the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbols (symbol number 3), replay symbols (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbols (symbol number 1) No.), watermelon 2 design (designation number 0), cherry design (designation number 19). Therefore, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 is not displayed on the activated line L, and as shown in FIG. 15 (3a), the bell which is the left symbol of NML19 among the symbols within the pull-in range. One symbol is displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 15 (4a).

15 (5a-1), (5a-2):
Since the middle symbol of NML 14 (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) is a spilled symbol, the middle symbol of NML 14 can be displayed on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the middle stop button 16b. As described above, the pull-in area in which the medium symbols of the NML 14 can be displayed on the activated line L is an area other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol column 31b (see FIG. 2). Therefore, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the region other than the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L, FIG. 15 (5a-1). As shown in, the middle reel 30b is stopped so that the middle symbol of the NML 14 is displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the first special symbol combination associated with the NML 14 is displayed on the activated line L and the medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the middle stop button 16b is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the symbol numbers 12 to 16 in the symbol column 31b reaches the position of the activated line L, it is shown in FIG. 15 (5a-2). As described above, the symbol combinations of both NML14 and NML19 are not displayed on the activated line L, and so-called small wins are missed, and medals are not paid out.

15 (2b) to (4b):
As shown in FIG. 15 (2b), it is assumed that the middle stop button 16b is operated when the watermelon 1 symbol with the symbol number 15 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L. In this case, the symbols within the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15), cherry symbol (symbol number 14), bell 2 symbol (symbol number 13) No.), star design (design number 12), replay design (design number 11). For this reason, the medium symbols (red 7 symbols, black BAR symbols) that are spilled symbols are not displayed on the activated line L, and as shown in FIG. 15 (3b), the NML 19 that is a complete symbol. The symbol (cherry symbol) is displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 15 (4b).

15 (5b-1), (5b-2):
Since the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 is a missed symbol, the left symbol of NML19 can be displayed on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the left stop button 16a. As described above, the pull-in area of the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of the NML 19 is the area of the symbol numbers 12 to 8 and the symbol numbers 2 to 0 and 19 to 18 in the symbol row 31a. When the left stop button 16a is operated when an arbitrary symbol in the area comes to the position of the activated line L, as shown in FIG. 15 (5b-1), the second special associated with the NML 19 is obtained. The symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L and the medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the left stop button 16a is operated when any symbol in the area other than the pull-in area comes to the position of the activated line L, as shown in FIG. 15 (5b-2), the NML 14 and Both symbol combinations of NML19 will not be displayed on the activated line L, and so-called small wins will be missed, and medals will not be paid out.

  As described above, when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, whichever stop button of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is operated first, the stop button is operated according to the operation mode. In some cases, all the winning combinations (NML14 and NML19) associated with the strong cherry may be missed.

  Next, the reel stop mode in the case of winning the strong cherry in the internal lottery in the internal CBB will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 shows the case where the left stop button 30a among the stop buttons 30a to 30c is operated first, FIG. 18 shows the case where the middle stop button 30b among the stop buttons 30a to 30c is operated first, and FIG. The reel stop mode when the right stop button 30c of the stop buttons 30a to 30c is first operated is described. Note that, as in the description in FIGS. 11 to 15, for the sake of convenience of the description, among the first special symbol combinations associated with the NML 14, the symbols arranged in the symbol column 31 a are “left symbol of NML 14”, symbol column The symbol arranged in 31b is "the middle symbol of NML14", the symbol arranged in the symbol column 31c is "right symbol of NML14", and the second special symbol combination associated with NML19 is the symbol column The symbol arranged on 31a is "the left symbol of NML19", the symbol arranged on the symbol column 31b is "middle symbol of NML19", the symbol arranged on the symbol column 31c is "right symbol of NML19". I will say ". Then, among the CBB symbol combinations associated with the CBB combination, the symbols (replay symbols) arranged in the symbol column 31a are "left symbol of the CBB symbol", symbols arranged in the symbol column 31b (bell 1 symbol , The bell 2 symbol) is referred to as "the middle symbol of the CBB role", and the symbols (bell 1 symbol, bell 2 symbol) arranged in the symbol row 31c are referred to as the "right symbol of the CBB role".

Figure 16:
When a strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the internal CBB, the winning flags of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 are duplicated. Therefore, the symbol candidates displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 (1):
As shown in FIG. 17 (1), it is assumed that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol with the symbol number 3 in the symbol column 31a comes to the position of the activated line L. In this case, the symbols in the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbols (symbol number 3), replay symbols (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbols (symbol number 1) No.), watermelon 2 design (designation number 0), cherry design (designation number 19). Therefore, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 which is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the activated line L, and as shown in FIG. 17 (2), the left symbol of NML14 which is a complete symbol (bell 1 Bell 1 symbol within the pull-in range of the symbol or bell 2 symbol) or the left symbol (replay symbol) of the CBB combination which is a complete symbol can be displayed on the activated line L.

FIG. 17 (3):
In the internal CBB, the reels are controlled so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the activated line L rather than the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination (first combination priority control). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17 (3), the Bell 1 symbol that is the left symbol of the NML 14 is given priority over the replay symbol that is the left symbol of the CBB combination, and the Bell 1 symbol is displayed on the activated line L. .. Therefore, when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the internal CBB, and the left stop button 16a is operated first, the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the activated line L for the CBB combination.

18 (1) to (2):
As shown in FIG. 18 (1), in the state where the winning flags of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 are overlapped and established, when the symbol number 15 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L, the medium stop It is assumed that the button 16b is operated. In this case, the symbols within the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding symbols (within the pull-in range) are the watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15) and the cherry symbol (symbol number 14) among the symbols arranged in the symbol row 31b. No.), Bell 2 design (design number 13), star design (design number 12), replay design (design number 11). Therefore, the medium symbol (red 7 symbol or black BAR symbol) of NML 14 which is a spilled symbol is not displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates displayed on the activated line L become the second special symbol combination of the NML 19 and the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination as shown in FIG. 18 (2).

FIG. 18 (3):
Here, in the internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the activated line L than the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination by the reel first combination priority control. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18 (3), the middle symbol (cherry symbol) of the NML19 which is the complete symbol is prioritized over the middle symbol (bell 2 symbol) of the CBB which is the complete symbol, and the effective line L The cherry pattern is displayed on. Therefore, when the strong cherry is won by the internal lottery in the internal CBB, and the middle stop button 16b is operated first, the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the activated line L for the CBB combination.

FIG. 19 (1):
As shown in FIG. 19 (1), in the state where the winning flags of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 are overlapped and established, when the symbol number 12 in the symbol column 31c comes to the position of the activated line L, the left stop. It is assumed that the button 16c is operated. In this case, the symbols within the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are star symbols (symbol number 12), watermelon 2 symbols (symbol number 11), replay symbols (symbol number 10) ), Bell 1 design (design number 9), cherry design (design number 8). Therefore, the right pattern of NML14 which is a complete design (red 7 design, watermelon 1 design, watermelon 2 design, bell 1 design or bell 2 design) is red 7 design, watermelon 1 design and bell 2 design, complete design. NML19 right design (red 7 design, bell 1 design or bell 2 design, white BAR design) red 7 design, bell 2 design and white BAR design, right design of CBB role which is complete design (bell 1 design, bell Each of the bell 2 symbols of (2 symbols) is not displayed on the activated line L. As a result, the symbol candidates that can be displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 19 (2).

FIGS. 19 (3) to 19 (4):
As shown in FIG. 19 (2), the candidates of symbols that can be displayed in the symbol column 31c of the activated line L are the bell 1 symbol and the watermelon 2 symbol, but these two symbols are both symbol numbers in the symbol column 31c. It is a design (star design, watermelon 2 design, replay design, bell 1 design, cherry design) that is within the pull-in range when the left stop button 16c is operated when the number 12 comes to the position of the activated line L. Here, as shown in FIG. 19 (3), when the watermelon 2 symbol (symbol number 11) in the symbol string 31c is displayed on the activated line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is 4 When the bell 1 symbol (symbol number 9) in the symbol column 31c is displayed on the activated line L, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to NML14 and NML19 is five. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19 (4), when the right stop button 16c is operated when the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 12 in the symbol column 31c comes to the position of the activated line L, the number of symbol combinations is changed. The right reel 30c is stopped so that the most common Bell 1 symbol is displayed on the activated line L (number priority control).

20 (1), (2a) to (3a):
In a state where the bell symbol 1 in the symbol column 31c is displayed on the activated line L, candidate symbols that can be displayed on the activated line L are as shown in FIG. 20 (1). As shown in FIG. 20 (2a), it is assumed that the left stop button 16a is operated when the black BAR symbol with the symbol number 3 in the symbol column 31a comes to the position of the activated line L. In this case, the symbols in the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are black BAR symbols (symbol number 3), replay symbols (symbol number 2), bell 1 symbols (symbol number 1) No.), watermelon 2 design (designation number 0), cherry design (designation number 19). Therefore, the left symbol (white BAR symbol) of NML19 is not displayed on the activated line L, and as shown in FIG. 20 (3a), the candidate of the symbol displayed on the activated line L is the first of the NML14. It becomes a part of the special symbol combination and a part of the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination.

FIG. 20 (4a):
Here, in the internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the activated line L than the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination by the reel first combination priority control. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20 (4a), the left symbol (bell 1 symbol) of the NML 14 which is a complete symbol is prioritized over the left symbol (replay symbol) of the CBB combination which is a complete symbol, and the effective line L Bell 1 pattern is displayed on. In this case, the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is not displayed on the activated line L.

20 (2b) to (3b):
As shown in FIG. 20 (2b), it is assumed that the middle stop button 16b is operated when the watermelon 1 symbol with the symbol number 15 in the symbol column 31b comes to the position of the activated line L. In this case, the symbols within the range of the maximum number of four sliding frames (within the pull-in range) are watermelon 1 symbol (symbol number 15), cherry symbol (symbol number 14), bell 2 symbol (symbol number 13) No.), star design (design number 12), replay design (design number 11). Therefore, the medium symbols (red 7 symbols, black BAR symbols) of the NML 14 which are spilled symbols are not displayed on the effective line L, but are displayed on the effective line L as shown in FIG. 20 (3b). The symbol candidates become a part of the second special symbol combination of NML19 and a part of the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination.

FIG. 20 (4b):
Here, in the internal CBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the activated line L than the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination by the reel first combination priority control. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20 (4b), the middle symbol (cherry symbol) of the NML19 which is the complete symbol is prioritized over the middle symbol (bell symbol 2) of the CBB which is the complete symbol, and the effective line L The cherry pattern is displayed on. In this case, the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is not displayed on the activated line L.

  In this way, when the winning flag of CBB, NML14 and NML19 is duplicated by winning the strong cherry in the internal lottery in the internal CBB, which of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is the first stop button Even if it is operated to, the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination is not displayed on the activated line L.

  As described above, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment example, rare role lip (7 set lip, strong cherry lip, etc.) and strong cherry that trigger the execution of additional lottery for ART games in a plurality of types of winning areas. The winning probability of rare role lip and strong cherry (hereinafter referred to as rare role winning area) is increased from 1/64 to 1/4 when the game state shifts from RT3 to RT4. Therefore, it is possible to improve the player's willingness to play the game by winning the RT4 transition lip that triggers the transition of the game state from RT3 to RT4, and the symbol combination associated with the RT4 transition lip is on the activated line L. It is possible to attract the player's interest as to whether or not it is displayed.

  Then, in the present embodiment example, both the CBB combination (specific combination) and the REP1 (normal combination) are associated with the winning area “CBB2”, and when the CBB2 is won by the internal lottery at RT4, the REP1 is obtained rather than the CBB combination. Is prioritized, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 is displayed on the activated line L, and the gaming state is to stay in the RT4 internal CBB. Here, the RT3 falling lip is associated with the re-game combination (special combination. REP16, 17) that triggers the addition lottery and other re-game combination (REP1 etc.), and in the RT4 internal CBB. In the case of winning the RT3 fall down lip in the internal lottery, by the reel stop control, the symbol combination associated with the other re-gaming combination is associated with the re-gaming combination that is the execution trigger of the additional lottery. The symbol combination is prioritized and displayed on the activated line L. As a result, in the RT4 internal CBB, the RT3 falling lip plays a role of an execution trigger of the additional lottery, and the chance of executing the additional lottery increases by the winning probability of the RT3 falling lip in the RT4 internal CBB. That is, in the present embodiment, the reel control means 104 (winning probability control means) causes the winning probability of the special winning combination in the RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) to be higher than the winning probability of the special winning combination in RT4 (second gaming state). It is configured to be controlled with high probability. Therefore, in the CBB inside the RT4, an additional lottery is frequently carried out, so that the playability in the CBB inside the RT4 can be improved and an attractive gaming machine can be provided.

  When the player wins the RT3 falling lip in the internal lottery in RT4CBB (first gaming state), it is associated with the medal number adjustment area (winning area number 43) rather than the re-game role associated with the RT3 falling lip. Since the reels are controlled so that the given NMLs 15 to 18 are given priority, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-play combination (special combination) that is the trigger to execute the additional lottery is displayed on the activated line L. It goes without saying that the winning probability of winning a prize is higher in the RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) than in the RT4 CBB (first gaming state).

  Further, in the present embodiment, by winning a CBB number adjustable lip (ART lip or RT3 falling lip) in CBB, a game in which 27 medals can be obtained (hereinafter referred to as CBB number adjustment game). Is done. Here, ART lip is subject to internal lottery in RT3CBB and RT4CBB, but not subject to internal lottery in RT1CBB and RT2CBB, and RT3 fall down lip is subject to internal lottery in RT4CBB. However, RT1CBB to RT3CBB are not targets of internal lottery. Therefore, there is no possibility that the CBB number adjustment game will be executed in RT1CBB and RT2CBB, and that there is a higher possibility that the CBB number adjustment game will be executed in RT4CBB than in RT3CBB. Therefore, among the RT1CBB to RT4CBB, the gaming state in which the CBB number adjusting game is most likely to be executed is RT4CBB, and the gaming property in RT4CBB can be improved.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine equipped with a CBB number adjustment game, when a player wins a CBB role in a non-internal CBB, in order to promptly provide the player with a CBB number adjustment game, in other words, a stay period in the internal CBB So that the period is as short as possible, the symbol combination associated with the CBB combination is always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button (so-called PB = 1), and after winning the CBB combination. In the next game to be performed, a CBB number adjustment game capable of winning more medals is executed. On the other hand, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment, as a game state, in addition to RT4CBB capable of executing a CBB number adjustment game with a relatively high probability, an RT4 internal CBB advantageous for a player specializing in additional lottery Is provided. Therefore, if the game state is immediately changed from RT4 internal CBB to RT4CBB by a single winning of the CBB role as in the conventional gaming machine, the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB becomes a very short period, and additional lottery is performed. The significance of providing the RT4 internal CBB as a gaming state specialized for is lost. Therefore, in the present embodiment example, the stay period of the CBB inside the RT4 is made by overlappingly associating the CBB combination and the re-gaming combination with the winning area "CBB2" so that the game state does not immediately shift from RT4 to RT4CBB. It is possible to give a bonus to the player by ensuring the above and executing many additional lottery opportunities in the CBB inside the RT4.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, a symbol combination composed of only complete symbols is associated with the CBB combination, and the same CBB combination is associated with both CBB1 and CBB2, so the symbol corresponding to the combination. It is possible to reduce the burden on the developer for formulating the combination. To explain this in detail, in the present embodiment example, by overlapping the CBB combination and the re-gaming combination in the winning area “CBB2”, it becomes possible to make the gaming state stay in the CBB inside the RT4 for a relatively long time. It is possible to realize a game specialized in additional lottery in the internal CBB. Here, as a method for staying in the CBB inside the RT4, a first CBB combination and a second CBB combination having different symbol combinations are provided, and the symbol combination corresponding to the first CBB combination is always an effective line regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. As the symbol combination displayed on L (PB = 1), the symbol combination corresponding to the second CBB combination is set as the symbol combination displayed on the activated line L according to the operation mode of the stop button (PB ≠ 1), and the internal When the second CBB combination of PB ≠ 1 is won in the lottery, a method of shifting the game state from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB may be considered. However, in this case, two types of CBB winning combinations having different symbol combinations must be provided, and the burden on the developer for formulating the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combinations increases. In the present embodiment, one type of CBB combination is provided, and the winning area "CBB2" in which this CBB combination and the re-game combination are overlapped is provided, so that the development burden on the developer can be reduced.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the CBB combination and the REP1 are associated with the CBB2, but the configuration is not limited to this, and instead of the replay combination of the REP1, the activation line L1 is always displayed regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. A small win (small win without missing) in which the symbol combination is displayed may be associated with CBB2, for example, CBB2 may be associated with a CBB win and an NML1 (normal win).

  Further, in the present embodiment example, when the RT3 falling lip is won by the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the other combinations of the symbol combinations associated with the RT3 falling lip are reproduced regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Relative to the symbol combination associated with the game combination (REP1 etc.), the symbol combination associated with the re-game combination (special combination. REP16, REP17) that triggers the addition lottery is displayed in priority on the activated line L. The prize is won, and the reel stop mode is a special symbol combination T which is a characteristic symbol combination such as "replay symbol"-"replay symbol"-"white BAR symbol" in the middle or lower level of each reel 30a to 30c. The special stop mode (first special stop mode, second special stop mode) is displayed. Therefore, the special stop mode of the reel can inform the player of the execution of the additional lottery, and can give the player an expectation for winning the additional lottery.

  On the other hand, in the case of winning the RT3 falling lip in the internal lottery in RT4, the reel control causes the other re-play combination than the symbol combination associated with the re-play combination (special combination), which is a trigger to execute the additional lottery. The symbol combination associated with is prioritized and displayed on the activated line L. Therefore, at RT4, the reel stop mode does not become a special stop mode. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the winning probability of the RT3 falling lip is set to the same probability (1/4) in RT4 and RT4 internal CBB, but the reel stop mode associated with the RT3 falling lip is set. Among them, the appearance probability (winning probability) of the special stop mode that notifies the execution trigger of the additional lottery is 0% at RT4, 25% (1/4) at RT4 internal CBB, and the game state is changed from RT4 to RT internal CBB. It rises when it shifts. Therefore, the special stop mode allows the player to determine the current game state.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the winning probability (about 1 / 1.5) for the re-playing combination of RT4 internal CBB (second specific game state) is about the winning probability for the re-playing combination of RT1-2 internal CBB ( The probability is about 1/7) (see FIG. 9), and the probability that the reels 30a to 30c stop in the special stop mode is higher than that of the RT1 to 2 internal CBBs. Therefore, in the CBB inside the RT4, it becomes possible to play the game while suppressing the consumption of medals, and the possibility that the additional lottery of the ART game is executed is increased. Therefore, it becomes possible to further improve the game playability in the CBB inside the RT4, and it is possible to achieve differentiation from other game states.

  In the present embodiment example, in order to shift to the RT4 internal CBB specialized in additional lottery, it is necessary to win CBB2 in RT4, but when winning CBB2 in RT4, the symbol combination corresponding to REP1 is effective. The line L is displayed with priority. Here, the symbol combination associated with REP1 is "replay symbol"-"replay symbol"-"replay symbol", and "red 7 symbol"-"red 7 symbol"-"red 7 symbol" or " Since a symbol combination with high distinguishing characteristics such as "black BAR symbol"-"black BAR symbol"-"black BAR symbol" is not set, the game state changes from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB depending on the reel stop mode. It is possible to prevent the player from being impressed with the transition. Thereby, for example, at the same time as the game start operation first performed after winning the CBB2 in the RT4, it is possible to suddenly notify that the production device such as the sub-monitor 6 has shifted to the CBB inside the RT4, which is unexpected. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that does not easily get tired.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, all of the symbols forming the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination are always displayed on the activated line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop button in each of the symbol columns 31a to 31c. It is a complete design. Therefore, in the state where the winning flag of the CBB combination is independently established, regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, the CBB symbol combination is always displayed on the activated line L, and the game state shifts from the internal CBB to the CBB. It will be. Then, in the RT4 internal CBB in which the winning flag of the winning combination of CBB is independently established, when the result of the internal lottery is unsuccessful, the CBB symbol combination is always displayed in the activated line L, and the RT4 internal CBB ends. To move to RT4CBB. That is, in the present embodiment example, it is possible to make the stay period of the RT4 internal CBB specialized in the additional lottery depend on the winning probability of the winning area "unwinning", and adjust the winning probability of the unwinning in the RT4 internal CBB. By doing so, the staying period of the CBB inside the RT4 can be lengthened or shortened.

  In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the re-game combination is changed by RT3 (non-internal CBB) and RT3 internal CBB (internal CBB), for example, as shown in FIGS. In order to keep the re-game win probability of RT3 and the re-game win probability of RT3 internal CBB at the same probability (about 1 / 1.5), the internal lottery means, in RT3, win area The winning probability is 0/655536, and the winning probability of the winning area “CBB1” is 1/16. The internal lottery is performed by referring to the winning probability lottery table. The winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of CBB1 is replaced, that is, the winning probability of the winning area "unwinning" is 1/16, and the winning probability of the winning area "CBB1" is 0/65536. It is carried out in a relatively simple way of performing an internal lottery to reference the winning probability lottery table to be. Therefore, in order to maintain the winning probability of the re-game combination, it is not necessary to perform complicated control such as adding a new winning area.

  Here, if it is assumed that the winning probability of the re-game combination is changed in response to the winning of the CBB combination and the re-game winning probability of the RT3 internal CBB is made higher than the re-play winning probability of RT3, for example, RT3 A situation may arise in which the odds of winning a rare role lip in the internal CBB or the odds of winning an RT4 transition lip must be raised. In this case, it becomes difficult to differentiate only the RT4 internal CBB from other gaming states and set the gaming state specialized in the additional lottery. In addition, when the winning probability of the re-game combination is changed in response to the winning of the CBB combination, the winning probability of the ART rip in the RT3 internal CBB may be increased, but the winning probability of the ART rip in the RT3 internal CBB is It is extremely high at about 1 / 1.5, and if you raise this winning probability further, the result of the internal lottery in RT3 internal CBB will be almost the same as the winning of the ART rip, and the playability in RT3 internal CBB will decrease. There is a risk of doing it. In the present embodiment, the probability of re-winning a winning combination of the non-internal CBB and the re-playing winning probability of an internal CBB are held at the same probability without changing the winning probability of the re-gaming combination triggered by the winning of the CBB winning combination. Therefore, it is possible to add only the RT4 internal CBB and set the gaming state specialized in the lottery, while preventing the deterioration of the playability in the internal CBB.

  In order to keep the re-game winning probability of RT4 and the re-game winning probability of RT4 internal CBB at the same probability (about 1 / 1.5), as in the case of the un-winning and CBB1 in RT3 and RT3 internal CBB. The internal lottery means performs the internal lottery with reference to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of unwinning is 0/65536 and the winning probability of CBB1 is 1/16 in RT4. Refer to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability and the winning probability of CBB1 in RT4 are exchanged, that is, the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of unwinning is 1/16 and the winning probability of CBB1 is 0/65536. We have an internal lottery. That is, the internal lottery means 102 controls the winning probability of unwinning to be 0/65536 and the winning probability of CBB1 to be 1/16 in RT4 (second gaming state), and in the RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state), The winning probability of non-winning is controlled to 1/16, which is the same winning probability as the winning probability of CBB1 in RT4, and the winning probability of CBB1 is 0/65536, which is the same winning probability of unwinning in RT4. In this way, it is possible to adjust the stay period of the specific game state specialized in the additional lottery by a relatively simple method of exchanging the probability of being unwinned and the probability of being independently won for the specific winning combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, in the RT3 fall rip, a re-gaming role (REP7) that becomes a fall opportunity to RT3, a re-play role (REP16, 17) that becomes an additional lottery opportunity, and RT4 are maintained. Since the re-gaming roles (REP1, 19) are associated with each other, the re-gaming role that triggers a fall to RT3, the re-gaming role that serves as an additional lottery trigger, and the re-gaming role for maintaining RT4 are different from each other. The number of winning areas can be reduced as compared with the case of associating with the winning areas. As a result, the amount of data in the winning area stored in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 can be reduced, and the capacity of the main ROM can be efficiently used.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, NML14 and NML19 are associated with strong cherry, and in NML14 and NML19, reels with spilled symbols that cannot be displayed on the activated line L depending on the operation timing of the stop button ( The pattern rows are different from each other. Therefore, when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the non-internal CBB, whichever stop button of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is operated first, the stop button is operated according to the operation mode of the stop button. , NML14 and NML19 may not be able to display all the symbol combinations associated with each on the activated line L (so-called, missed). Therefore, it is possible to secure a winning area in which the payout of medals can be performed by the stop button operation technique.

  Then, the reels on which the symbols with spilled symbols (symbol rows) different from each other are associated with the strong cherries, and the reels are controlled by the number priority control and the first winning priority control to make the CBB. When the winning flags of the winning combination, NML14 and NML19 are overlapped and established, no matter which of the stop buttons 16a to 16c is first operated, the CBB winning combination is supported regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. The attached CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the activated line L. For this reason, in the additional lottery specialized RT4 internal CBB, even if the strong cherry that enables / disables the medal payout by the operation technology of the stop button is won, the CBB symbol combination of the CBB combination is displayed on the activated line L. There is no such thing. As a result, only if the winning area "unwinning" is won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, or if the bell is spilled by operating the stop button without following the batting order effect in the ART mode, The CBB symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L and the game state shifts from RT4 internal CBB to RT4 CBB, and it is possible to adjust the stay period of RT4 internal CBB only by the winning probability of the winning area "unwinning" Become. Here, the additional lottery is a lottery on whether or not to add the number of ART games, and the ART game is a game that facilitates the acquisition of medals without spending too many medals on hand. When the period is long, the total number of medals paid out increases when the period is long. As described above, the stay period of the CBB inside the RT4 has a great influence on the total payout amount of medals, but in the present embodiment example, it is relatively easy to adjust the winning probability of the unwinning in the CBB inside the RT4. By the method, the stay period of the CBB inside the RT4 can be intentionally changed, and the load on the design of the payout number of medals by the developer can be reduced.

  Although three reels are provided in the present embodiment, for example, even if the number of reels is increased or decreased, the reels (symbol row) on which the symbols with spills are arranged are different from each other in a strong cherry. By associating with, while securing the winning area where it is possible to pay out medals by the stop button operation technology, by winning the strong cherry in the internal CBB, the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is on the effective line L. It goes without saying that it is possible to prevent the displayed game state from shifting to CBB.

  In the present embodiment, when the winning flags of the CBB combination, NML14 and NML19 are overlapped, the reel control means 104 displays the CBB symbol combination associated with the CBB combination on the activated line L by the number priority control. Although this is prevented, the payout number priority control for controlling the reels so as to display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination with the largest number of medal payout numbers on the activated line L is adopted instead of the number priority control. Alternatively, both the number priority control and the payout number priority control may be adopted. When both the number priority control and the payout number priority control are adopted, whichever of the number priority control and the payout number priority control is performed for each of the 60 regions (60 symbols) forming the symbol rows 31a to 31c. The reel is stopped by determining in advance whether or not it will be adopted. For example, in the symbol number 1 of the symbol row 31a, the reel is stopped by giving priority to the number-of-quantity priority control over the payout-number priority control, and in the symbol number 2 of the symbol row 31b, giving priority to the payout-number priority control rather than the number-priority control reel. To stop.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control means 104 changes the reel stop control in response to the transition from the game state RT4 to the RT4 internal CBB, and determines the winning probability of the special winning combination, which is a trigger for executing the additional lottery, RT4. The configuration is such that the RT4 internal CBB (specific gaming state) is controlled to have a higher probability than the (second gaming state), but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Specifically, as a modified example in which the winning probability of the special winning combination in the CBB inside the RT4 is controlled to a high probability, the special winning combination that causes the special lottery to be executed is a small winning combination instead of the re-playing combination (modified example 1). The internal lottery means (winning probability control means) 102 may be configured to refer to the winning probability lottery tables having different winning probabilities of the special winning combination between RT4 and RT4 internal CBB (modifications 2 to 4).

  To describe the modification 1 in detail, as a winning area, a "special bell" is provided in which both a normal small win that does not trigger an additional lottery and a special small win that triggers an additional lottery are provided, and reel control means is provided. When the special bell is won in the internal lottery at RT4, the normal small win 104 is given priority over the special small win and the symbol combination associated with the normal small win is displayed on the activated line L. , When the special bell is won in the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB, the special small win is prioritized over the normal small win and the symbol combination associated with the special small win is displayed on the activated line L. To stop the reel. Thereby, the symbol combination corresponding to the special small combination (special combination) that triggers the addition lottery is displayed on the activated line L, and the winning probability of winning is RT4 internal CBB (rather than RT4 (second gaming state)). The specific game state) has a higher probability, and the special effect of the present embodiment can be achieved, that is, the game play in the RT4 internal CBB can be improved and an attractive game machine can be provided. ..

  In the first modification, the number of medals paid out for the special small win is the number other than the highest number of medals paid out for all the small wins (for example, less than 14 medals). In the RT4CBB (first gaming state) in which the winning flags for all the small wins including the special small win are established, the payout number priority control by the reel control means 104 causes The symbol combination corresponding to the special small win is not displayed on the activated line L and won. Then, the symbol combination corresponding to the special small combination (special combination) that triggers the addition lottery is displayed on the activated line L, and the winning probability of winning is RT4CBB (first gaming state) rather than RT4 internal CBB (specific The gaming state) has a higher probability, and it becomes possible to add only the CBB inside the RT4 to the gaming state of the lottery specialized type.

  On the other hand, in Modification 1, if the number of medals to be paid out for the special small win is set to the largest number of medals to be paid out (for example, 15) among all the medals to be paid out for all small wins, RT4CBB In, it is also possible to always display the symbol combination corresponding to the special winning combination on the activated line L. In this case, in the same way as the RT4 internal CBB, if the RT4CBB is configured to execute the additional lottery when the symbol combination corresponding to the special small combination is displayed on the activated line L and the prize is won, the RT4CBB is configured. Then, it is also possible to realize a game property in which the additional lottery is always executed.

  Regarding the modified examples 2 to 4, the internal lottery means (winning probability control means) 102 refers to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the special winning combination is about 1/4 (65/256) in RT4, and the special probability in the RT4 internal CBB. By referring to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the winning combination is higher than about 1/4, the winning combination of the special winning combination in RT4 (second gaming state) is higher than the winning probability of the special winning combination in RT4 inside CBB (specific gaming state). The winning probability of is controlled to a high probability.

  To describe the modification 2 in detail, the number (256) of random number values for internal lottery associated with CBB2 in RT4 is the special role with the “normal lip” associated with REP1 in RT4 internal CBB. It is assigned to the "special lip" associated with REP16. For example, if the random number number 256 for internal lottery associated with CBB2 in RT4 is distributed to 128 in “normal rep” and 128 in “special rep” in RT4 internal CBB, FIG. As shown, the winning probability of the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is 0/65536 for “CBB2”, 1/512 (128/65536) for “normal rep”, and 1/512 (128/65536) for “special rep”. Becomes Then, the internal lottery means 102 performs the internal lottery by referring to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the special combination is 131/512 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/512) in the RT4 internal CBB. The winning probability of the special winning combination in the (specific game state) is higher than the winning probability of the special winning combination in RT4 (second gaming state). That is, for a plurality of types of combinations, there are a special combination (for example, REP16) that is a re-play combination that enables execution of the next game without inserting a game medium, and a trigger for transition of the game state. Includes a specific combination (CBB combination) and a normal combination that is the re-game combination and does not trigger the award, and as a winning area, a special lip associated with the special combination and the specific combination. A CBB2 in which both the winning combination and the normal winning combination are associated with each other and a normal lip in which the normal winning combination is associated with each other are provided, and the internal lottery means 102 causes the first predetermined number (256) of random number values at RT4. The internal lottery is performed by referring to the first winning probability lottery table in which the number of CBB2 is associated with the second predetermined number (0) of random number values with the special lip, and the internal predetermined lottery is performed in the RT4 internal CBB. Number (256 pieces A part (eg 128) of the random number values of is distributed to the special lip and the rest (eg 128) is distributed to the normal lip, so that the number of random number values larger than the second predetermined number (0). The internal lottery is performed by referring to the second winning probability lottery table associated with the special lip.

  To describe the modification 3 in detail, with the game state being shifted from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB, the random number number (256) for internal lottery associated with CBB2 in RT4 is set in RT4 internal CBB. All are assigned to the associated "special lip" of the special part REP16. Then, as shown in FIG. 21B, the winning probability of the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is 0/65536 for “CBB2” and 1/256 (256/65536) for “special rep”. In this case, the internal lottery means 102 performs the internal lottery by referring to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the special combination is 66/256 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/256) in the RT4 internal CBB. The winning probability of the special winning combination in CBB (specific gaming state) is higher than the winning probability of the special winning combination in RT4 (second gaming state). That is, in RT4, the first predetermined number (256) of random number values is associated with CBB2 and the second predetermined number (0) of random number values is associated with the special lip at RT4. An internal lottery is performed with reference to a winning probability lottery table, and in the RT4 internal CBB, all the random number values out of the first predetermined number (256) of random number values are distributed to the special lip. The internal lottery is carried out by referring to the third winning probability lottery table in which the random number obtained by adding the first predetermined number (256) and the second predetermined number (0) is associated with the special lip. To do.

  In the modified examples 2 and 3, the winning probability of the re-game combination is not changed between RT4 and RT4 internal CBB when the winning of the CBB combination is used as a trigger, and the re-game winning probability of RT4 is obtained. It is possible to hold the re-game winning probability of RT4 internal CBB with the same probability (about 1 / 1.5).

  Explaining in detail the modification 4, the number of random number values for internal lottery (256 pieces) associated with CBB2 in RT4 (256) is changed in RT4 internal CBB as the game state shifts from RT4 to RT4 internal CBB. In addition to allocating to “unwinning” (128) and “normal rep” (128), the number of random numbers for internal lottery (4096) associated with CBB1 in RT4 is changed to “special rep” in RT4 internal CBB. Distribute all. Then, as shown in FIG. 21C, the winning probability of the internal lottery in the RT4 internal CBB is 0/65536 for “CBB1” and “CBB2”, 1/512 (128/65536) for “unwinned”, "Special Lip" becomes 1/16 (4096/65536). In this case, the internal lottery means 102 refers to the winning probability lottery table in which the winning probability of the special combination is 162/256 (1/4 + 1/256 + 1/16) in the internal CBB of the RT4, and the internal lottery is carried out. The winning probability of the special winning combination in CBB (specific gaming state) is higher than the winning probability of the special winning combination in RT4 (second gaming state). The modified example 4 is different from the embodiment and the modified examples 1 to 3 in that the winning probability of the re-game combination is changed between RT4 and RT4 internal CBB upon the winning of the CBB combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, a CBB combination that is a trigger to shift to the gaming state is provided, and as the gaming state, non-internal CBB, internal CBB and CBB are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the gaming state is set. An RBB combination or an RB combination (bonus combination), which is a trigger for transition, is provided, and as a game state, a non-RBB internal game state in which an internal lottery is performed with a small probability of winning a small combination at a normal probability (for example, 12%), The RBB gaming state in which the internal lottery is performed with a probability (eg, 90%) that the winning probability of the small combination is extremely higher than that in the non-RBB gaming state, and the winning flag of the RBB combination is carried over and the RBB is internally elected. It may be a configuration in which the RBB internal game state is provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the effect mode control unit 109 is provided in the main control processing unit 100, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and some of the functions of the effect mode control unit 109 are appropriately included in the main control processing unit 100. The sub-control processing unit 200 may be provided with the remaining functions.
