Normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 indicate that two types of replays including replay 1 are won in duplicate, and batting order replay 1 ~ Batting order replay 6 indicates that 2 types to 5 types of replays including replay 1 and replay 2 are won in duplicate, and batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 includes 2 types including replay 1 and replay 3. ~5 types of replays are shown to be duplicated.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination is the same in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the internal lottery table 1=the internal lottery table 2=the internal lottery table 5<the internal lottery table 3< The probability of winning the replay increases in the order of the internal lottery table 4. Further, in the internal lottery table 6, the small winning combination is won with a higher probability than in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the replay is not a lottery target. Further, in the internal lottery table 7 to the internal lottery table 10, the small winning combination is not a lottery target, and only the replay is elected. The internal lottery table 7=the internal lottery table 8<the internal lottery table 9<the inside The probability of winning the replay increases in the order of the lottery table 10.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a regular big bonus (RBB: an example of a bonus) and a challenge big bonus (CBB) are prepared as bonuses, and in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4, the regular big bonus ( RBB) and challenge big bonus (CBB) are set as the lottery targets, but in the internal lottery table 5 to the internal lottery table 10, both the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are excluded from the lottery targets. Has been done.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, if the setting values are different, the correspondence between the winning combination and the random number value in at least one or more of the 10 types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 10) Relationships are different.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is possible to set a normal state, an RBB established state, an RBB state (an example of a bonus state), and a CBB state as game states, and a non-RT state as an RT state (replay lottery state). The state, the RT1 state, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state can be set, and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 1 to the inside according to the set value, the game state, and the RT state stored in the set value storage means 197. The winning probability of the winning combination is adjusted by selecting any one of the lottery tables 10 as the internal lottery table used in the internal lottery.

In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (random number for lottery) is obtained from the random number generating means 110 for each game, and the obtained random number value is stored in the main lottery table storage means 191 of the storage means 190. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won by referring to the internal lottery table stored in.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to have been won is selected from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, the lottery flags corresponding to the two or more types of winning combinations that have been won are set in the winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage means 192 of the storage means 190.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carrying possible flag) that can carry the winning state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and a winning state is not carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of winning. There is a lottery flag (flag that cannot be carried over) that is reset to the winning state. A bonus is associated with the former carryover possible flag, and a small combination and a replay are associated with the latter carryover impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the regular big bonus (RBB) lottery flag is carried over until the regular big bonus (RBB) is won. .. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 carries out an internal lottery for determining whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are successful even in the game in which the winning state of the regular big bonus (RBB) lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, when a small win or replay is won, the lottery flag of the bonus already won and the small win won in the internal lottery The lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations, which are composed of the replay lottery flag and the lottery flag, are set in the winning state. Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, the lottery flags corresponding to the small winning combinations 1 to 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and the replay is performed in the internal lottery. By winning, the lottery flags for both the small win and the replay may be set to the winning state.

The reel control means 130 starts the rotation drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 operated by the game start operation of the start lever SL by the player, The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels that are steadily rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). Control for validating the stop operation by means of this, and control for stopping the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode according to the setting state of the lottery flag (result of the internal lottery) I do.

Then, when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 to activate the stop switch 240 while the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled, the reel control means 130 stops the reels from the stop switch 240. Based on the signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to control the reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, and then determines. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to the operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to the operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are basically rotating within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, corresponding to the pressed stop button. The reels are set to stop. When stopping the spinning reels within 190 ms from the time the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required for the reels to stop from the time the stop button is pressed is 0 frames at the stop position of each spinning reel. It is determined within a range of up to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is the stop button. When it is located within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the activated line when the pressing operation is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state is the activated line. Control is performed to stop the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed so that the reel is displayed in the upper display position.

In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, exceptionally, during the rotation of the third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed, corresponding to the pressed stop button. The reels are set to stop. When the rotating third reel R3 is stopped within 75 ms after the stop button is pressed, the stopped position of the rotating third reel R3 is the third reel R3 when the stop button B3 is pressed. The number of frames required to execute is determined within the range of 0 to 1 frame (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130 corresponds to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 that is pressed in the CBB state. When the symbol is located within the range of 0 to 1 frame with respect to the display position on the activated line when the stop button B3 is pressed, the lottery flag is set to the winning state. Control is performed to stop the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 that has been pressed so that the corresponding symbol is displayed at the display position on the activated line. However, even in the CBB state, with respect to the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time of pressing the stop buttons B1 and B2. ..

And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310, a red 7 symbol “red 7” and a white 7 symbol “white 7”. , Black 7 design "black 7", BAR design "BAR", replay design "RP", dummy design "DUM", bell design "BL", watermelon design A "WMA", watermelon design B "WMB", and cherry design When "CH" is arranged and the symbols existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position are drawn into the activated line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed. It can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the detection position.

Further, the reel control means 130 refers to a process (logic calculation) for determining the stop position of the reel that is rotating based on the priority, and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the storage means 190 while rotating. Processing for determining the stop position of the reel (table reference processing).

First, in the logic operation, within the range of 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the reel position at the time of operating the stop switch 240 (at the time when the pressing of the stop button is detected), according to the priority data determined for each winning combination. (Or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame), the priority is calculated for the candidates of the stop positions for 5 frames (or 2 frames). Then, the candidate stop position with the highest priority among the priorities of the candidate stop positions is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for multiple candidates for the stop position depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressing detection position, etc., and there are multiple candidates for the stop position with the highest priority. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process described later.

Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is set in the order of "replay>bonus" and "small win>bonus", and in the logic operation, the lottery flags regarding two or more kinds of wins are set to the internal winning state. If it is, according to the priority order associated with each winning combination, the symbols forming the winning pattern of the winning combination of the lower priority order regarding the candidate of the stop position including the winning pattern of the winning combination of the higher priority The priority is calculated so that it has a higher priority than the candidate of the stop position that includes it.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority of the candidates for the stop position in the case where a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line. There are cases where the priority is obtained and cases where the priority is obtained according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small winning combination, and the number of symbol combinations showing the winning pattern that can be displayed on the activated line. When determining the priority of the candidate stop positions according to, the candidate of each stop position such that the higher the number of symbol combinations showing the winning pattern that can be displayed on the activated line, the higher the priority. In order to obtain the priority for the candidate for the stop position according to the number of paid out medals, the medal based on the payout of the small win corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line. The priority of each candidate for the stop position is calculated such that the higher the number of payouts is, the higher the priority is (the stop position at which a small winning combination with a large payout can be won). However, when the priority of candidate stop positions is calculated according to the number of paid out medals, if small wins with the same payout are duplicated and won, each small win can be won. The priority of each candidate is treated as the same, and when the priority of the candidate of the stop position is obtained according to the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line, the priority is displayed on the activated line. The priorities of the stop position candidates having the same number of symbol combinations indicating the displayable winning forms are treated as the same.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the logic operation according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, a correct answer batting order is set for each of batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, and a pressing order different from the correct answer batting order is treated as an incorrect answer batting order. When one of the batting order bells is won, if the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct batting order, it is confirmed that the batting order is the correct batting order, and the payout number of medals becomes the largest. The priority is calculated so that the candidate of the stop position has the highest priority. Further, when any of the batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, it is possible to display the most symbol combinations forming the winning pattern at the stage of stopping each reel. The priority is calculated so that the possible stop position candidate has the highest priority.

In the present embodiment, if any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a candidate for a stop position at which eight small winning combinations (small winning combination 6) can be won. When the logic operation is performed so that the highest priority is given and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, one small winning combination (small winning 1 to small winning 5) can be won. A logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

If the gaming state is RBB established, the winning of the small win is prioritized over the bonus, so if the batting order bell is elected and the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order, eight small wins will be won. , Even if the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect hit order, the priority so that the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB) is avoided when the symbols constituting the winning configuration of one small winning combination are displayed on the activated line. Is required. However, at the time of winning the watermelon or cherry, it is not possible to display the symbols composing the winning pattern of three small wins corresponding to the watermelon or two small wins corresponding to the cherry on the activated line, and the regular big bonus. Since there is a pressing detection position where the symbols constituting the winning form of (RBB) can be displayed on the activated line, if a watermelon or cherry is won in the RBB established state, the small win does not win. Regular Big Bonus (RBB) may be won.

Further, when the batting order bell is won in the RBB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the small winning combination that is prioritized changes according to the pressing order. For example, when the batting order bell is won in the RBB established state. Regardless of the order of pressing, the priority is calculated so that the number of symbol combinations showing the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line is the maximum, and the winning combination of one winning combination is smaller than the winning combination of eight winning combinations. The winning position may be prioritized to determine the stop position. By thus preferentially winning one small win rather than eight small wins in the RBB established state, the expected value of winning medals in the RBB established state can be suppressed to a lower level, so that the regular winning combination in the RBB established state is achieved. The player can be motivated to win the big bonus (RBB) as soon as possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell or JAC is won, a logic operation is performed so as to obtain the priority according to the number of paid-out medals, and when the common bell is won, the pressing order is stopped. Even if the operation is performed, the logic calculation is performed so that the priority of the candidate of the stop position that can win the 14-piece small winning combination (small winning combination 10) becomes the highest. Even if the stop operation is performed in order, the logic operation is performed such that the priority of the candidate of the stop position that can win the 15 small winning combination (small winning combination 11) is the highest.

In the logic operation, so-called pull-in processing and kick-out processing are performed as processing for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining the priority of the reel stop position candidates so that the winning combination having the lottery flag set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking-off process is a process for obtaining the priority of the reel stop position candidates so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 makes it possible to stop the symbols of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbols of the winning combinations whose winning lottery flag is set in the non-winning state are in the form of winning. A logic operation is performed to obtain candidates for reel stop positions so that the reels will not stop.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 is provided with the reel index 315 composed of a photo sensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on the reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one rotation. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation shaft of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (frame detected by the reel index 315). Has become. That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

In the table reference process, when a plurality of candidate stop positions having the highest priority are obtained as a result of performing the logic operation, which position is to be the stop position is determined by the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190. It is determined by referring to the stop control table stored in.

Here, in the stop control table, in accordance with the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence between the push-down detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (when the stop button is pressed down), and the actual stop position. The relationship is set. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the rotation amount from the pressed detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

In the stop control table that is referred to when any of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 9, the correct batting order for each batting order bell (an example of a specific operation order). ) Is set and a pressing order different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect hit order.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when any of batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer batting order (an example of a specific operation mode), The stop position for the press detection position is set so that the winning combination of eight small wins is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hit order (an example of an operation mode different from the specific operation mode), one The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that there is a case where any of the small prizes is won and a case where a symbol combination showing an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line without winning any of the small prizes. Has been done.

Even when the batting order bell is won in the RBB established state, since the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, there are 8 small winning combinations in the correct order and 1 small winning case in the incorrect order. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there is a case where a symbol combination showing an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line without winning any winning combination. In the present embodiment, when the first stop operation is performed at the time of winning the batting order bell in the RBB established state, the symbols constituting the winning pattern of any of the small wins are always displayed on the activated line. Since the regular big bonus (RBB) prize is avoided in, the regular big bonus (RBB) is included even if none of the eight and one small wins included in the batting order bell is won. Won't win. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer batting order, the spinning reels are stopped so that eight small wins are won, and the incorrect answer is given. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order, the spinning reels are stopped so that the small winning combination of eight pieces is not won.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when the common bell or JAC is won, when the common bell is won, 14 small wins are won even if the stop operation is performed in any pressing order. The stop position for the press detection position is set as described above, and when the JAC is elected, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that 15 wins will be won regardless of the press operation in any press order. Has been done.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 12 is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the correct batting order is set for each batting order replay. , The pressing order different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect hit order.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 2 is won. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the replay 1 wins.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any one of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 is won. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the replay 1 wins.

In the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when any one of the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 is won, in any case, the press detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins regardless of the press order. The stop position for is set.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, a situation occurs in which the small win and the replay are overlapped and the winning occurs, and in that case, the replay does not win, and the small win wins. There is. When the replay is won in the CBB state, as shown in FIG. 11, the specific batting order is set according to the winning mode of the replay, and the order of the stop operations on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is the specific batting order. The types of small wins to be won are different depending on whether or not.

In the present embodiment, when the replay is won in the CBB state, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order according to the winning mode of the replay, the 13-piece small winning combination (small winning combination 9) is won. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order different from the specific batting order, a stop position for the press detection position is set so that 14 small winning combinations (small win 10) will win. The position is set. When the replay is not won in the internal lottery in the CBB state, the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the 14 small winning combinations will be won regardless of the press order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. ing.

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stop state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the prize determination table stored in the prize determination table storage unit 194 of the storage unit 190, all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are displayed on the activated line when they are stopped. It is determined whether or not the winning symbol combination is a predetermined winning pattern of the winning combination. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a regular big bonus (RBB), a challenge big bonus (CBB), a replay 1 to a replay 6, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in a state where each reel is stopped. A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not the small winning combination 1 to 11 is won and whether the RT variation blank is displayed.

Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning determination time processing is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning determination process, for example, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, a replay processing unit 160 performs a replay process, and a game state transfer control unit 170 transfers a game state transition control. The processing is performed, and the RT control means 173 performs the RT shift control processing for shifting the RT state.

The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on a predetermined dividend for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of medals are transferred to the hopper unit. The control for causing the payout device 320 (payout device) to pay out is performed.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. Specifically, when the payout signal output from the payout control unit 150 is input, the hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 which is activated each time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 is based on a payout detection signal which is an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. The number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 can be managed.

Then, the payout control means 150 starts the output of the payout signal to the hopper unit 320 to cause the hopper unit 320 to pay out medals when the number of payouts is determined when the small winning combination is won, and the payout medals are paid out. Along with the payout detection signal from the detection switch 325, the number of payouts (the number of medals paid out in one game) stored in the payout number storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 When the payout number addition process for adding the number is performed and the payout number (the number of medals actually paid out) reaches the payout number, the output of the payout signal is stopped and the medal payout operation of the hopper unit 320 is ended.

In addition, when the credits (internal storage) of the medals are permitted because the number of credits stored in the credit storage area is less than the credit upper limit, instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit 320, With the upper limit of the number of credits as a limit, a credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credits stored in the credit storage area is performed to virtually pay out medals. Here, when only a part of the payout number is credited, the remaining uncredited medals are actually paid out from the hopper unit 320.

When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay processing (replay processing) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without inserting a medal owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, the same number of medals as the previous game is automatically inserted without using the player's medals (including credit medals). The process is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is awaited while the same effective line as the previous game is set.

As shown in FIG. 14(A), the game state shift control means 170 performs a game state shift control process for shifting the game state among the normal state, the RBB established state, the RBB state, and the CBB state. As the game state transition condition, one condition may be set, or a plurality of conditions may be set. When a plurality of conditions are defined, one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied, or based on the fact that all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied, the game state is set. It is possible to shift to another game state.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the RBB established state or the CBB state. Specifically, if the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the RBB established state, and if the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal state, the challenge big bonus is always won in the winning game. (CBB) wins and shifts to the CBB state. Further, in the normal state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are set as the lottery targets. The internal lottery is performed by referring to one of the internal lottery tables 4 according to the RT state. As described above, in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed so that the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) may be won.

The RBB establishment state is a game state that shifts when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the internal lottery. In the RBB established state, the small winning combination is determined with the same probability as in the normal state among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, and the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB). ) Are excluded from the lottery target, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1/7.3.

In addition, in the RBB established state, the winning/retiring of small wins and replays is determined with the lottery flag corresponding to the regular big bonus (RBB) maintained in the winning state until the regular big bonus (RBB) is won, and the regular big bonus (RBB) is determined. ) When the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern is displayed on the activated line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the RBB established state to the RBB state based on the regular big bonus (RBB) winning.

The RBB state is a game state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating a regular big bonus (RBB) winning pattern is displayed on the activated line. In the RBB state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the winning probability of the small winning combination is set higher than that of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the replay is excluded from the lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the selected internal lottery table 6. That is, in the RBB state, the small winning combination is more frequently elected than in the normal state, and thus the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than in the normal state. In this way, in the RBB state, control is performed so that the lottery flag for the small winning combination is set to the winning state with a higher probability than in the normal state.

Further, in the RBB state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition is satisfied by the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state, and when the medals to be paid out exceed the predetermined planned ending payout number (for example, 300). The game state transition control means 170 ends the RBB state and returns the game state to the normal state.

The CBB state is a game state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the challenge big bonus (CBB) is displayed on the activated line. In the CBB state, any one of the internal lottery table 7 to the internal lottery table 10 that can be lost or replayed as a result of the internal lottery among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. An internal lottery is performed by referring to the above according to the RT state.

In the CBB state, the lottery flags of the small winning combinations 1 to 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal drawing in each game, and if the result of the internal drawing is lost, 14 small When a winning combination is won and the result of the internal lottery is replay, 13 small winning combinations will be won in the specific batting order according to the winning mode of the replay, and 14 small winning combinations will be won in an order other than the specific batting order. There is. In this way, in the CBB state, control is performed so that the lottery flag for the small winning combination is set to the winning state with a higher probability than in the normal state.

Then, in the CBB state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition is satisfied by the total number of medals paid out in the CBB state, and when the medals are paid out in excess of a predetermined planned ending payout number (for example, 13 coins). The gaming state transition control means 170 ends the CBB state and returns the gaming state to the normal state. In particular, in the present embodiment, in the CBB state, the second game can be performed by winning 13 small wins in the first game, and the end condition is achieved when winning 14 small wins in the first game. Cannot be played for the second time. That is, in the CBB state, if the replay is won in the first game, there is an opportunity to win the 13-piece small winning combination, and if the 13-piece small winning combination can be won, the 13-small winning combination is won. You will be able to get more medals than you could not.

The RT control means 173, as shown in FIG. 14B, is in the non-RT state (non-replay time state), the RT1 state (first replay time state), the RT2 state (second replay time state), and the RT3 state ( RT transition control processing for transitioning the RT state between the third replay time states) is performed. In the present embodiment, the replay lottery mode is different depending on the RT state, and specifically, at least one of the replay winning probability, the type of replay targeted for the lottery, and the combination of replays to be won in duplicate is different. There is. As the transition condition of the RT state, one condition may be set, or a plurality of conditions may be set. When a plurality of conditions are set, the RT state is set based on that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It can be moved to another RT state.

The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and the transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. The internal lottery table 1 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 7 (CBB state) set to 3 is performed. In the present embodiment, the RT state is initialized and set to the non-RT state when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the RBB state, and the non-RT state is set when the gaming state is the normal state. When one small winning combination is won in any other RT state, the RT state is changed to the non-RT state.

The RT1 state is an RT state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line, and it is possible to shift from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the non-RT state. .. Specifically, in the RT1 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 2 is displayed on the activated line (when the replay 2 wins), the state shifts to the RT2 state, and the one small winning combination is set in the RT1 state. When the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern is displayed on the activated line (when one small winning combination is won), the state shifts to the non-RT state. Further, in the RT1 state, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 are set as the winning mode of the replay in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 2 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 8 (CBB state) set to 3.

The RT2 state is an RT state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern of Replay 2 is displayed on the activated line, and shifts from the RT2 state to the RT3 state, the non-RT state, and the RT1 state. Is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, when the symbol combination showing the winning mode of the replay 3 is displayed on the activated line (when the replay 3 is won), the state shifts to the RT3 state, and the one small winning combination in the RT2 state. When the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern is displayed on the activated line (when one small winning combination is won), the symbol combination indicating RT variation blank in the RT2 state is displayed on the activated line. If it is done, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT2 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 9 (CBB state) set to 5.

The RT3 state is an RT state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 3 is displayed on the activated line, and it is possible to shift from the RT3 state to the non-RT state and the RT1 state. ing. Specifically, in the RT3 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning configuration of one small winning combination is displayed on the activated line (when one small winning combination is won), the state shifts to the non-RT state, and in the RT3 state When the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. Internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table 4 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 10 (CBB state) set to 0 is performed. Incidentally, in the internal lottery table 4 referred to when the player stays in the RT3 state in the normal state, the correspondence relation between the winning combination and the random number value is set so that the result of the internal lottery will not be lost.

Further, in the present embodiment, the RT control means 173 shifts the RT state according to each of the above-mentioned variable conditions when the game state stays in the normal state or the CBB state, and particularly winning and winning of the challenge big bonus (CBB). , And the RT state is not changed depending on the end of the CBB state.

Therefore, when the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won and won and the game state shifts from the normal state to the CBB state, the RT state at the time of winning the challenge big bonus (CBB) is maintained until the end of the CBB state. In particular, in this embodiment, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is always won in the winning game, and the symbol combination that triggers the RT state change in the CBB state game is not displayed on the activated line. Therefore, the challenge big bonus The RT state does not change depending on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in the game from (CBB) winning until the CBB state ends.

As shown in FIG. 15, the AT control means 175 has a plurality of types of effect states including a non-AT state (an example of a normal effect state), an AT preparation state, an AT state (an example of a special effect state), and an AT end standby state. The production state is changed (shifted) between the two states, the production state is set to the AT state under a predetermined condition, and the AT state is determined based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 (an example of the first specific counter). Whether or not the termination condition is satisfied is determined, and control is performed to terminate the AT state when the termination condition for the AT state is satisfied. In the present embodiment, in the game in which the player is staying in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the production control unit 180 assists the winning of the eight-piece winning combination (small winning combination 6) by notifying the correct answer batting order when the batting order bell is won. A prize assisting production is performed, and when the replay is won in the first game in the CBB state, the specific batting order is notified so that the second game can be played, and the winning of 13 small winnings (small winning 9) is performed. A prize assisting effect is provided to assist, and in the second game in the CBB state, a prize assisting effect is provided to assist winning of 14 small wins (small win 10), and the game stays in the non-AT state. It is possible to play games in which medals are more easily obtained.

Then, when the game state is the normal state and the effect state is the non-AT state or the AT end standby state, the AT control means 175 uses a common bell, watermelon, cherry, regular big bonus (RBB), and challenge in the internal lottery. An AT lottery for deciding whether or not to shift the effect state to the AT state is performed based on that one of the big bonuses (CBB) is won. In the AT lottery, one of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, the obtained random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 191, and the result of the comparison is determined. Then, it is determined whether or not the player has won the AT lottery. In the AT lottery table, each of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value obtained in the AT lottery is associated with winning in the AT lottery table. If it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. Further, in the present embodiment, as the lottery state of the AT lottery, a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/256, a medium probability state with a winning probability of about 1/64, and a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/32 are set. It is possible, and the AT lottery table according to the lottery state is referred to in the AT lottery. That is, when the lottery state is a high probability state, the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is a medium probability state is referred to, and when it is a medium probability state, the lottery state is The AT lottery table that is set so that the winning probability is higher than that in the low probability state is referred to. Note that the winning probability of the AT lottery may be different depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery. In this case, the probability of winning the AT lottery is the same in the low-probability state, the medium-probability state, and the high-probability state, or the winning probability of the AT lottery increases in the order of "low-probability state <medium-probability state <high-probability state". There may be a winning mode, and if the total number of random numbers assigned to the winning of the AT lottery has a relationship of "low probability state <medium probability state <high probability state", winning of the AT lottery for each winning mode The probability can be set arbitrarily.

Then, when the AT control means 175 wins the AT lottery, the production state is shifted from the non-AT state to the AT preparation state, and in the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 guides the RT state to the RT3 state. Auxiliary performance is executed.

For example, when the player stays in the RT1 state, which is the RT state in which it is highly likely that he/she stays in the non-AT state at the time of winning the AT lottery, the replay 2 is won when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 are won. In order to be able to perform, the RT assistance state is guided to the RT2 state by executing the winning assistance production for notifying the correct batting order, and in the RT2 state, the replay 3 can be won when the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are won. , The prize assisting performance for informing the correct hit order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT3 state.

In the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 performs the winning assistance production for notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won. However, in the AT preparation state, the RT state is set when the player stays in the non-RT state. It is necessary to perform the stop operation in the incorrect hitting order in order to display the symbol combination showing the RT variation blank on the activated line in order to change the symbol to the RT1 state. For this reason, if the player wins the AT lottery while staying in the non-RT state, even if the player is in the AT preparation state, the winning assistance production is not executed at the time of winning the batting order bell while staying in the non-RT state. It is like this.

Then, the AT control means 175 shifts the effect state from the AT preparation state to the AT state based on the fact that the RT state has shifted to the RT3 state when the AT preparation state is set. The transition from the AT preparation state to the AT state may be performed based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state when the AT preparation state is set, or the AT preparation state is set. In the RT2 state, if any of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won, it may be shifted to the AT state at the end of the game.

If you win the AT lottery based on winning the Regular Big Bonus (RBB) or Challenge Big Bonus (CBB), you will retain the AT lottery winning information until the end of the RBB state or CBB state, and the RBB state or CBB state When the game state ends and the game state returns to the normal state, the effect state is set to the AT preparation state, and the AT state is shifted to via the AT preparation state.

In addition, in the AT state, if the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to a player's operation error, a winning assistance production is performed so as to return the RT state to the RT3 state while staying in the AT state. Be seen. However, when the RT state falls to the non-RT state in the AT state, in order to guide the RT state to the RT1 state, the batting bell is elected until the symbol combination showing the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line. No prize-winning assistance is performed.

Further, the AT control means 175 sets the value “100” corresponding to 100 times, which is the number of games as the ending condition of the AT state, in the AT end determination counter 195 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, and the AT state is set. Then, each time a game is played, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a constant value "1" corresponding to one game is subtracted from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195. Decrement update. When the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the AT state and the game state shifts to the CBB state, only the first game is targeted for decrement update, and the second game is not targeted for decrement update. It has become. That is, in the AT state, only one game is counted even if the CBB state is completed by one game or is completed by two games. Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 195 is continued even in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to an operation error of the player.

When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value "0", the AT control means 175 determines that the AT state end condition is satisfied, and the AT control means 175 ends the AT state. The effect state is set to the AT end waiting state, and when the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end waiting state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, in the AT end standby state after the end of the AT state, the prize control assisting effect at the time of winning the batting order bell by the effect control means 180 is not performed, so a symbol combination indicating a winning of one small win or a blank RT variation. Is displayed, the RT state easily falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state. As an effect state after the end of the AT state, the non-AT state may be restored without providing the AT end standby state. The condition for returning from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state is, for example, that a stop operation was performed in an incorrect answer order at the time of winning the batting order bell, and a symbol combination indicating an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line. Alternatively, one small win may be awarded.

In the present embodiment, an advantageous section can be set as a game section for managing the initialization process, and the effect state can be made to stay in the AT preparation state, AT state, or AT end standby state only when it is the advantageous section. You can do it. Therefore, as will be described later in detail, when the advantageous section ends when the effect state stays in the AT preparation state, the AT state, or the AT end standby state, as shown in FIG. The ready state, the AT state, or the AT end waiting state is forcibly ended, and the non-AT state is entered.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section on the basis of winning the AT lottery in the normal section. Therefore, in the AT lottery of the present embodiment, in addition to whether to shift the effect state to the AT state, it is also determined whether to shift the game section to the advantageous section.

Further, when the winning mode of the small winning combination obtained in the internal lottery is watermelon, cherry, or common bell in the AT state, the AT control means 175 ends AT according to the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery. An addition lottery is performed to determine whether to add a given addition value to the stored value of the determination counter 195. In this way, when the winning mode of the small win obtained in the internal lottery was watermelon, cherry, or common bell, AT lottery was performed in the non-AT state, but it was changed to AT lottery in the AT state. And add lottery.

In the additional lottery, one of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, the obtained random number value is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 191, and the added random number is determined according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the player has won the additional lottery. In the additional lottery table, each of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value obtained in the additional lottery is associated with winning in the additional lottery table. If it is, it is determined that the additional lottery has been won. Further, in the present embodiment, the additional lottery table is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables in accordance with the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is “watermelon<cherry<common bell”. It becomes higher in the order of. As for the additional value when the additional lottery is won, a large additional value is selected in the order of "cherry <common bell <watermelon". In addition, the relationship between the winning mode of the part in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the additional lottery, and the relationship between the winning mode of the part in the internal lottery and the added value when winning the additional lottery are not limited to those described above. Can be set.

Further, when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the AT state, the AT control means 175 suspends the AT state by stopping the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 195 based on the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB). However, the AT state is restarted as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state after the end of the RBB state.

Further, the AT control means 175 sets the lottery state of the AT lottery to a high probability state based on the satisfaction of the termination condition of the AT state, and makes the lottery state of the AT lottery stay in the high probability state in the AT end standby state. Then, when the effect state shifts from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state, the AT lottery state is set to the medium probability state, and in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the AT lottery state is set according to the RT state, When the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is allowed to stay in the medium probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery of the AT lottery is drawn. Cause the state to stay in a high probability state. In the normal section, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the low probability state regardless of the RT state.

Then, in the present embodiment, based on the fact that the replay is won when the player stays in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the end lottery for deciding whether to end the medium probability state or the high probability state is performed. In the end lottery, one of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, the obtained random number value is compared with the end lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 191, and the result is compared. Then, it is determined whether or not the final lottery is won. In the ending lottery table, each of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value obtained in the ending lottery is associated with winning in the ending lottery table. If it is, it is determined that the final lottery has been won. When the final lottery is won, an initialization process is performed by the initialization means 177 described later, and the lottery state of the AT lottery is initialized to a low probability state by the initialization process. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the AT state ends, the AT lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the high probability state in the AT end standby state, and the end lottery is won after the AT end standby state shifts to the non-AT state. Up to now, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the medium probability state or the high probability state, and after the AT state ends, it is easy to win the AT lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the non-AT state or the AT end waiting state, and even when the RBB state or the CBB state which is shifted in association with the winning of the bonus is finished. The lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the RT state, and even if the player stays in the advantageous section in the non-AT state after the end of the RBB state or the CBB state, the end lottery is performed based on that the replay is won, The lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the medium-probability state or the high-probability state until the final lottery is won.

The initialization means 177 generates an advantageous section (an example of a specific game section) under a predetermined condition, and based on the end of the advantageous section, performs initialization processing for initializing control information relating to the effect state. Particularly in the present embodiment, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and the lottery state of the AT lottery has a low probability. It is supposed to be initialized to the state. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, a normal section, an advantageous section, and an internal middle waiting section can be set as the game section for managing the initialization process, and the initialization means 177 sets the advantageous section. The game section is shifted between a plurality of types of game sections including, and is shifted to the advantageous section based on winning the AT lottery in the normal section. If you win the AT lottery based on the regular big bonus (RBB) winning, but if the winning status of the bonus is carried over without winning the bonus, it will shift to the advantageous section via the internal middle waiting section. .. That is, in the present embodiment, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end waiting state can be set in the advantageous section, and cannot be set in the normal section and the internal middle waiting section. However, the AT preparation state can be set even when shifting to the advantageous section in the normal section. In addition, in the normal section, it stays in the non-AT state.

Then, in the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set to the clear counter 196 (an example of the second specific counter) in the game won in the AT lottery in the normal section, and the game is played once in the advantageous section. An increment update is performed to add a constant value (for example, 1) to the stored value of the clear counter 196 every time, and the advantageous period ends based on the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaching a threshold value (for example, 1501). The conditions are met. In this embodiment, the clear counter 196 is updated after all the spinning reels in each game are stopped, but if it is predetermined in each game, the clear counter 196 is updated at any timing. Alternatively, the game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update trigger. Then, once the advantageous section is started, unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, the clear counter 196 is continuously updated regardless of changes in the production state, the game state, and the RT state, and the AT preparation state or AT The clear counter 196 is updated even when a transition to each performance state such as a preparation state occurs. If you win the regular lottery (RBB) AT lottery performed when you win, but if the bonus goes to the advantageous section via the internal medium standby section without winning the prize, in the internal medium standby section The clear counter 196 is not updated, and the clear counter 196 is updated at the start of the advantageous period. If the result of the AT lottery performed when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won is lost (unwinned), even if the bonus is won, the player stays in the normal zone without shifting to the advantageous zone. In addition, if the result of the AT lottery performed when the regular big bonus (RBB) is won is a loss (unwinning), the regular big bonus (RBB) will not be awarded in the game, and it will be in the internal waiting section. Stay in the normal section without shifting. In addition, the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is always awarded in the winning game, but if the result of the AT lottery that was conducted when the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) was won is lost (unwinned) , Even if the bonus is won, it is allowed to stay in the normal section without shifting to the advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the normal section is shifted to the normal section when the advantageous section is completed, and the initialization process is executed along with the shift to the normal section. .. Therefore, when the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation where the AT state is stayed, the AT state based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is initialized by the initialization process when shifting to the normal section. Even if the termination condition is not satisfied, the AT state is forcibly terminated and initialized to the non-AT state.

Further, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation of staying in the AT preparation state, the AT preparation state is forcibly ended by the initialization processing and the The value stored in the AT end determination counter 195 set when the AT lottery is won is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0).

Further, when the value stored in the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation of staying in the AT end standby state, the RT state may shift to the non-RT state or the RT1 state when shifting to the normal section. The AT end waiting state is forcibly ended and initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process without waiting.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the initialization process is immediately executed regardless of the effect state, the game state, and the RT state. Since the gaming state and the RT state are not initialized, if the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches a threshold value while staying in the RBB established state, the RBB established state is still maintained even after the initialization process, When the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches a threshold value while staying in the RBB state or the CBB state, the RBB state or the CBB state continues even after the initialization process, and the situation is in the RT3 state In the case where the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the RT3 state is maintained even after the initialization processing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the clear counter 195 is initialized on the basis of the satisfaction of the end condition of the advantageous interval, and specifically, the stored value of the clear counter 195 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0). It The clear counter 195 may be initialized in the initialization process.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is prohibited from being executed in the internal middle waiting section, and the AT lottery is not executed even when the winning mode that triggers the execution of the AT lottery is obtained in the internal lottery. It has become. The AT lottery may be configured to be executed even in the internal waiting section, but in that case, it is preferable to invalidate the result of the AT lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section is started by winning the AT lottery in the normal section, and the game in the AT state is played in the advantageous section, but the AT state ends even if the AT state ends. In the later non-AT state, the advantageous section is maintained until winning the ending lottery, the advantageous section is ended based on winning the ending lottery after ending the AT state, and transition to the normal section with the end of the advantageous section Then, the initialization process is executed along with the shift to the normal section.

The ratio calculation means 178 is paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the first-class special accessory for the advantageous section stay ratio, which is the ratio of the total number of times of playing the advantageous section to the total number of games, and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. A continuous character ratio, which is the ratio of the number of medals, and a character ratio, which is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the character to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, are calculated. In particular, in the present embodiment, as for the continuous character ratio and the character ratio, the value in the game 6000 times and the value in the total number of games are calculated. Here, the accessory is a special device for facilitating winning a prize, and as the accessory, a first-class special character (regular bonus (RB)) and a second-class special character (challenge bonus (CB)) ), a normal character (single bonus (SB)), and the like. That is, the continuous character ratio is a ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the RB to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, and the character ratio is RB to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, It is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of CB or SB.

First, the method of calculating the advantageous section stay ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of games and the number of games of the advantageous section are counted as data for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio. Specifically, the storage unit 190, as shown in FIG. 17, is a total game number counter 203 (an example of a total game number storage unit) that stores the total number of games, and an advantage that stores the total number of the game numbers in the advantageous section. The section game number counter 204 (an example of an advantageous section game number storage means) is provided, and these counters are configured by a storage area of 3B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board 10.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 performs an increment update for adding a fixed value (for example, "1") corresponding to one game to the stored value of the total game number counter 203 every time a game is played. In the present embodiment, when a game is played, the total game number counter 203 is incremented and updated regardless of the game section, the game state, the effect state, and the RT state. On the other hand, regarding the advantageous section game number counter 204, only when it is an advantageous section, every time a game is played, a fixed value corresponding to one game is stored in the advantageous section game number counter 204. Incremental update for adding "1" is performed. In addition, the update of the advantageous section game number counter 204 is started from the next game of the game that has won the AT lottery in the normal section (the game in which the transition process to the advantageous section has been performed). However, if you win the AT lottery based on the winning of the Regular Big Bonus (RBB) or the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB), from the next game of the game in which the bonus is won Be started. As described above, in the present embodiment, the total number of games stored in the total number of games counter 203 is updated each time one game is played, and the number of advantageous-zone games is played each time one game is played in the advantageous zone. Update processing is performed to update the total number of games played in the advantageous section stored in the counter 204.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 calculates “(A2×100) based on the total number of games A1 stored in the total number of games counter 203 and the total number of games A2 in the advantageous section stored in the number of advantageous section games counter 204. )/A1” is calculated to calculate the advantageous section stay ratio (%), and the calculated advantageous section stay ratio is overwritten and stored in a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage unit 202. In the present embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated for each game. Specifically, the total number of games is updated every time one game is played, and the number of games in the advantageous section is updated when the advantageous section is used. It is calculated after performing the update process for updating the total number.

Next, a method of calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, a regular big bonus (RBB) is provided as a character continuous actuating device related to the first type special character, and the second type. A challenge big bonus (CBB) is provided as a character continuously operating device related to a special character, and a regular big bonus (RBB) is a combination of symbols showing a winning form of a regular bonus (RB) which is a first-class special character. The regular bonus (RB) is operated continuously regardless of the display, and the challenge big bonus (CBB) is a combination of symbols showing the winning form of the challenge bonus (CB) which is the second type special accessory. The challenge bonus (CB) is continuously activated regardless of the display. In the present embodiment, the payout number, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, as data for calculating the continuous winning role ratio and the winning rate, the medal paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the first-class special bonus The total number of payouts of the continuous auction, which is the number of coins, and the number of payouts of a bonus, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the bonus.

Specifically, in the RBB state that shifts with the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB), the regular bonus (RB), which is the first-class special accessory in all games, is in operation, so the RBB state The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine is aggregated as both the number of consecutive bonuses paid out and the number of bonuses paid out, and in the CBB state that shifts with the winning of the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB), the second special role in all games Since the challenge bonus (CB), which is an item (one of the prizes), is activated, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CBB state is the number of continuous prizes paid out or the number of prizes paid out. It is counted only as the number of handouts. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state is aggregated as the number of consecutive winnings paid out, and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state or the CBB state is counted as the number of consecutive bonus payouts. Further, in the present embodiment, the data for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the game 6000 times (an example of a predetermined counting period) is the number of games for one set out of 15 divisions of the game 6000 times. While totaling the number of payouts of the above-mentioned three types of medals in 400 games (an example of a predetermined reference total period), the number of payouts of the above-mentioned three types of medals is set to 1 for 400 sets of games. Count each set individually.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the storage means 190 stores a total of 400 times of games for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts.

Set individual storage means 199 (an example of standard totalization period total individual storage means), and 15 set total storage means 200 (predetermined) for storing the total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive accessory payouts, and the number of accessory payouts. An example of the totalization period cumulative storage means), and a total cumulative storage means 201 for storing a total cumulative total for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive accessory payouts, and the number of accessory payouts.

In addition, the 400-time cumulative storage means 198 stores a 400-time cumulative first counter 198a that stores a cumulative total of the number of payouts in 400 games, a 400-second cumulative second counter 198b that stores a cumulative total of continuous payouts in the game 400 times, Also, a 400-time cumulative third counter 198c for storing the cumulative total of the number of payouts of the game in 400 games is provided, and these counters are each configured by a storage area of 2B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board 10. There is.

Then, when the medals are paid out, the ratio calculation means 178 has a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400-th cumulative first counter 198a (for example, a value corresponding to the number of paid-out medals for one coin " 1”) is added. In the present embodiment, when the medals are paid out, a process of updating the stored value of the 400-th cumulative first counter 198a is performed regardless of the game section, the game state, the effect state, and the RT state. On the other hand, with respect to the 400-time cumulative second counter 198b, when the gaming state is the RBB state, when the medals are paid out, it corresponds to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400-time cumulative second counter 198b. A value (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the number of paid out medals for one coin) is added, and when the gaming state of the 400th cumulative third counter 198c is the RBB state or the CBB state. Only when the medals are paid out, a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative third counter 198c (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one piece) is set. The process of adding is performed.

The data in the 400-time cumulative storage means 198 is transferred to the 15-set individual storage means 199 every time a game is played 400 times, and is initialized after the data in the total cumulative storage means 201 is updated. In this way, the 400-time total storage means 198 stores the total of 400 games. Here, whether or not 400 games have been played may be determined based on the stored value of the total game number counter 203, or separately from the total game number counter 203, a cycle having 400 games as one cycle. You may make it provide the counter which counts the number of games.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the 15-set individual storage means 199 sets data for 15 sets for each set, with 400 games as one set for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive character payouts, and the number of character payouts. As a memory area to be individually stored, for each payout number, 15 areas of 2B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board 10 are provided, and each memory area has a total of 400 games (1 set). 15 storage areas for individually storing 15 sets of individual totals for each set regarding the number of payouts, and 15 individual sets of individual totals for each set regarding the number of continuous accessory payouts. Each of the 15 storage areas to be stored and the 15 storage areas for individually storing the individual cumulative total of 15 sets for each number of accessory payouts are stored by sequentially storing data from the beginning of the storage area. It is configured as a ring buffer that stores and returns to the beginning when the end of. Therefore, for example, when the data of the 1st to 15th sets is stored in the 15th set individual storage means 199 and the 16th set of data is stored, the first set of data is stored in the storage area. The 16th set of data is overwritten, whereby the latest data is overwritten and stored over the earliest stored data.

Further, the 15-set cumulative storage means 200 is a storage area for storing a cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive bonus payouts, and the number of payouts of bonus hits. ) Area, the total cumulative total storage unit 201 stores a total cumulative total of the total number of payouts, a total total first counter 201a, a total total second counter 201b that stores the total total of the number of continuous accessory payouts, and a bonus payout. A total cumulative third counter 201c for storing the total cumulative number is provided, and these counters are each configured by a storage area of 3B (byte) preset in the RAM of the main board 10.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 accumulates the number of payouts, the continuous accessory payouts, and the accessory payouts stored in the 400 times total storage means 198 for each 400 games, in the total of 400 games. (Data stored in the 400th cumulative first counter 198a, the 400th cumulative second counter 198b, and the 400th cumulative third counter 198c) is transferred to and stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 199. As described above, in the present embodiment, every time the game is played 400 times, the number of payouts, the number of consecutive accessory payouts, and the number of payouts of the accessory stored in the 400th cumulative storage unit 198 are 400 times of the game. The cumulative total data is stored in 15 sets of individual storage means 199, and after the game 6000 times has passed, every 400 times the game has passed 400 times the game 400 times related to the number of payouts stored in the cumulative storage means 198. The cumulative data in 15 sets individual storage means 199 is overwritten and stored in the cumulative data in the game 400 times relating to the number of payouts stored first, and the continuous winning effect payout stored in the 400 times cumulative storage means 198. The total data of the number of games 400 times is stored in the 15-set individual storage means 199 by overwriting the data of the number of consecutive bonus payouts stored first in the 15 sets individual storage means 199, and stored in the 400 times total storage means 198. The stored total data of the number of game payouts in 400 games is overwritten and stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 199, overwriting the total data of the game payout number of 400 games in the first place.

Further, the ratio calculation means 178 updates the total of 15 sets and the total total for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous accessory payouts, and the number of accessory payouts, every time a game is played 400 times.

Incremental update is performed to add "1" (a constant value corresponding to one game) to the value (step S100), and when it is an advantageous section (Y in step S101), the advantageous section game number counter 204 is stored. Incremental update is performed to add "1" (a constant value corresponding to one game) to the value (step S102).

Then, when the medals are paid out in association with the winning of the small winning combination (Y in step S103), a process of adding the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative first counter 198a is performed. If it is in the RBB state or the CBB state (Y in step S105), a process of adding the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative third counter 198c is performed (step S104). (Step S106) If the state is the RBB state (Y in step S107), a process of adding a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400th cumulative second counter 198b is performed (step S108). ..

Then, it is determined whether or not 400 games have passed (step S109), and when 400 games have passed (Y in step S109), 400 sets have been accumulated in the 15-set individual storage means 199 configured as a ring buffer. The stored values of the first counter 198a, the 400th cumulative second counter 198b, and the 400th cumulative third counter 198c are transferred and stored (step S110).

Then, the total of 15 sets and the total total are updated (step S111). Specifically, the total sum of the number of payouts for 15 sets, the total sum of the payout numbers of continuous set for 15 sets, and the total sum of the number of payouts for 15 sets stored in the 15-set individual storage means 199 are stored. The calculated total of 15 sets is stored in the 15-set total storage means 200. Further, the stored value of the 400-cumulative first counter 198a is added to the stored value of the total-cumulative first counter 201a of the total-cumulative storage means 201, and the stored value of the 400-cumulative second counter 198b is stored in the stored value of the total-cumulative second counter 201b. The value is added, and the stored value of the 400-th cumulative third counter 198c is added to the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 201c. When the 15-set cumulative total and the total cumulative total are updated, the stored values of the 400th cumulative first counter 198a, the 400th cumulative second counter 198b, and the 400th cumulative third counter 198c are initialized to initial values (for example, 0). Be converted.

Subsequently, a ratio calculation process for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio and the like will be described. The process is performed in association with the execution of the payout control process. As shown in FIG. 23, in the process, the total game number A1 and the advantageous zone game number counter 204 stored in the total game number counter 203 are displayed. Based on the stored total number A2 of the advantageous section games, the advantageous section stay ratio (=(A2×100)/A1)(%) is calculated and stored in the ratio storage unit 202 (step S200). When 400 times have passed (Y in step S201), based on the cumulative B1 of 15 sets of the number of payouts and the cumulative B2 of 15 sets of the number of continuous accessory payouts stored in the 15-set cumulative storage means 200, The continuous winning character ratio (=(B2×100)/B1) (%) in 6000 games is calculated and stored in the ratio storage means 202, and is stored in the 15 sets cumulative storage means 200. Based on the cumulative total B1 and the cumulative total B3 of 15 sets of bonus payouts, the bonus ratio (=(B3×100)/B1) (%) in 6000 games is calculated and stored in the ratio storage means 202, Based on the total cumulative number C1 of the number of payouts stored in the total total first counter 201a and the total cumulative number C2 of the number of continuous bonus payouts stored in the total total second counter 201b, the ratio of the continuous role in the total number of games. (=(C2×100)/C1)(%) is calculated and stored in the ratio storage means 202, and stored in the total cumulative first counter 201a in the total cumulative C1 and the total cumulative third counter 201c. Based on the stored total accumulative number C3 of the bonus payouts, the bonus ratio (=(C3×100)/C1)(%) in the total number of games is calculated and stored in the ratio storage means 202 (step S202).

Further, in the present embodiment, the threshold value of the clear counter 196, which is the condition for ending the advantageous section, is set to “1501”, which corresponds to the number of games of 1500 times. Can be set to a value that is assumed not to exceed a predetermined number (the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid-out medals). In the present embodiment, the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section exceeds 3,000. It is set to a value that does not exist. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 196 is a value corresponding to the number of games, which is calculated by 3000 sheets/inclination value. Here, the inclination value is the net increase in the number of medals per game in the RT3 state (including the number of medals acquired by bonus) when the winning combination of the winning combination is guaranteed to be the winning combination of the maximum payout. In this embodiment, the inclination value is 2. Therefore, the number of games in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1500 times (=3000 pieces/2 pieces), and 1500 times after the clear counter 196 is set to "1" with the shift to the advantageous section. The threshold is set to "1501" so that the advantageous section is ended when the number of games is counted. As described above, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit of the number of medals to be obtained and the inclination value, and can be set arbitrarily according to these designs.

In addition, when the challenge bonus (CB) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the CB state, and in the CB state, the small wins 1 to small are forced regardless of the result of the internal lottery. The lottery flag of the winning combination 10 is set to the winning state, and when the game is played once in the CB state, the CB state is determined to be satisfied and the CB state is ended, and the game state is set. Return to normal state. In addition, when the single bonus (SB) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the SB state. In the SB state, the probability is the same as the normal state or higher than the normal state. The internal lottery is performed so that the winning combination is won, and when one game is played in the SB state, it is determined that the condition for ending the SB state is satisfied, the SB state is ended, and the game state is set to the normal state. Return to the state.

In the normal state, if the second regular big bonus (RBB2) is won and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the second RBB state, and in the second RBB state, the RBB general game and the RB game are executed, In the RBB general game, the regular winning (RB) is set and the regular bonus (RB) is set as the lottery target, and an internal lottery is performed, and the regular bonus (RB) is won and the winning mode of the bonus is set. The RB game is executed based on the symbol combination shown on the activated line (regular bonus (RB) is activated), and the RB game is the same game as the game in the RB state described above. Whether or not the RB game is ended when the ending condition of the RB game is satisfied and the RBB general game is restarted, and whether the ending condition is satisfied by the total number of medals paid out by the RBB general game and the RB game When more than a predetermined planned payout amount (for example, 300) is paid out, the second RBB state is ended and the game state is returned to the normal state. In the normal state, if the second challenge big bonus (CBB2) is won and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the second CBB state, and in the second CBB state, the CBB general game and the CB game are executed, In the CBB general game, while setting the winning probability of the small role to be the same as the normal state, the challenge bonus (CB) is set as the lottery target and the internal lottery is performed, and the challenge bonus (CB) is won and the winning mode of the bonus is set. The CB game is executed based on the symbol combination shown on the activated line (the challenge bonus (CB) is activated), and the CB game is the same as the game in the CB state described above. , When the ending condition of the CB game is satisfied, the CB game is ended, the CBB general game is restarted, and whether the ending condition is satisfied by the total number of medals paid out by the CBB general game and the CB game. When it is determined that the number of medals to be paid out exceeds a predetermined planned payout amount (for example, 300), the second CBB state is ended and the game state is returned to the normal state.

In this case, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RB state, which is the gaming state during operation of the RB, is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the RB, which is the first-class special accessory, Since it is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the accessory, it is counted as both the number of continuous accessory payments for calculating the continuous accessory ratio and the number of bonus payments for calculating the accessory ratio, The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CB state, which is the operating state of the CB, and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the SB state, which is the operating state of the SB, are the operations of the first class special effects. It is not the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, but it is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the winning character, so calculate the continuous winning character payout number and the winning character ratio to calculate the continuous winning character ratio. Only the number of payouts of the accessory is counted.

In the second RBB state that shifts with the winning of the second regular big bonus (RBB2), the game machine is not in operation in the RBB general game because the first class special character is not operating or the character is not operating during the RBB general game. In the RB game, the number of medals paid out is not counted as the number of consecutive character payouts or the number of character payouts, and the type 1 special character is operating during the RB game and the character is operating. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine is totaled as both the number of consecutive bonuses paid out and the number of bonus payouts, and in the second CBB state that shifts with the winning of the second challenge big bonus (CBB2), it is the first during the CBB general game. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CBB general game is not counted as the number of consecutive bonus payouts or the number of bonus payouts because the special bonus or the bonus is not in operation. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CB game is equal to the number of consecutive bonus payouts and the number of bonus payouts because the second special bonus, which is a bonus, is not in operation. Of these, only the number of handouts is counted. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB general game and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CBB general game are not counted as the number of consecutive accessory payouts or the number of accessory payouts, but the number of medals paid out by the game machine. The number of payouts is calculated.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous character ratio, and the numerical value calculated by calculating the character ratio are displayed, but only the continuous character ratio is calculated and displayed. Alternatively, only the accessory ratio may be calculated and displayed, or only the advantageous section stay ratio may be calculated and displayed, or only the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio may be calculated. May be displayed, or only the continuous character ratio and the advantageous section stay ratio may be calculated and displayed, or only the character ratio and the advantageous section stay ratio may be calculated and displayed. May be. In other words, when the AT function is not installed, it is not necessary to provide an advantageous section that is a management game section for performing initialization processing, so the total number of times of games and the total number of games in the advantageous section are stored and the advantageous section It is not necessary to provide a function for calculating the stay ratio, and in the case where an accessory and an accessory continuous operation device are not mounted, the number of payouts in 6000 games or the total number of games, the number of continuous accessory payouts, and the payout of accessory It is not necessary to provide a function for counting the number of games and calculating the character ratio and the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times or the total number of games, or the character related to the first class special character and the first class special character. If the continuous operation device is not installed, the function of calculating the continuous winning role ratio in the game of 6000 times or the total number of games by aggregating the number of consecutive winnings paid out in the game of 6000 times or the total number of games need not be provided. Also, if either one or both of the first-class special accessory and the accessory continuous actuation device related to the first-class special accessory are installed, the numerical values of the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio are the same. Alternatively, only one of them may be calculated and displayed, or both may be calculated and displayed. In these examples, when displaying a numerical value such as the ratio of staying in the advantageous section, if the function for calculating the ratio corresponding to the displayed identification symbol is not installed, the numerical value of the ratio is displayed. An identification symbol (for example, "-") indicating that the numerical value does not exist may be displayed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, with regard to the continuous character ratio and the character ratio, the numerical value in the game 6000 times and the numerical value in the total number of games are calculated and displayed, but only the numerical value in the game 6000 times is calculated and displayed. Alternatively, only the numerical value of the total number of games may be calculated and displayed. Also in this example, when displaying the numerical value of the continuous accessory ratio, etc., if the function for calculating the ratio corresponding to the displayed identification symbol is not installed, the numerical value of the ratio is displayed in the numerical display of the ratio. It is also possible to display an identification symbol (for example, "-") that indicates that there is no.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the total number of games is less than 6000 when displaying the continuous character ratio or the character ratio in the game 6000 times, the identification symbol "indicating the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times". 6y” or the identification symbol “7y” indicating the character ratio in 6000 games may be displayed in a blinking manner to notify that the number of games has not reached 6000 times. That is, when the total number of games is 6000 or more, the identification symbol "6y" indicating the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times or the identification symbol "7y" indicating the character ratio in the game 6000 times is lit (first If the total number of games is less than 6000, the identification symbol "6y" indicating the continuous character ratio in 6000 games or the character ratio in 6000 games is displayed. The identification symbol “7y” may be displayed in a blinking manner (displayed in the second mode or a specific mode).

In the above embodiment, if the total number of games is less than a predetermined number (for example, 175,000) when displaying the advantageous section stay ratio, or the continuous character ratio or the character ratio in the total number of games (advantageous section stay). In the case where the ratio, the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the amount of data sufficient for the character ratio to converge are not aggregated), the identification symbol "7U" indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, the total number of games Alternatively, the identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous character ratio or the identification symbol "7A" indicating the character ratio in the total number of games may be displayed in a blinking manner. That is, when the total number of games is a predetermined number of times (for example, 175,000 times) or more, an identification symbol "7U" indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, an identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous role ratio in the total number of games, or When the identification symbol "7A" indicating the role ratio in the total number of games is lit (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and the total number of games is less than a predetermined number (for example, 175,000), The identification symbol "7U" indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, the identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games, or the identification symbol "7A" indicating the character ratio in the total number of games is displayed in a blinking manner (second Mode or a specific mode).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when a numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the ratio display device 327, if the calculated numerical value of the ratio is less than the predetermined upper limit value, the ratio is calculated. Is displayed by lighting (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and when the calculated numerical value of the ratio is equal to or higher than a predetermined upper limit value for the ratio, the numerical value of the ratio is blinked and displayed. (Displayed in the second mode or the specific mode) may be performed. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, when displaying a numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio, a value rounded down after the decimal point is displayed. Therefore, for example, when displaying 70% (upper limit value) as the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio. In some cases, the calculated ratio of staying in the advantageous section may exceed 70%. Therefore, if the calculated value of the ratio is equal to or greater than the upper limit value set in advance for the ratio, the value of the ratio is calculated. May be displayed blinking. Furthermore, it is not limited to the mode of blinking when the numerical value of the calculated ratio is equal to or higher than the predetermined upper limit value for the ratio, and the calculated numerical value of the ratio is the upper limit value predetermined for the ratio. When the value is less than or equal to, the numerical value of the ratio is lit and displayed (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and the calculated numerical value of the ratio exceeds a predetermined upper limit value for the ratio. Alternatively, the numerical value of the ratio may be displayed in a blinking manner (displayed in the second mode or a specific mode).

Although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiment, the RAM of the main board 10 has a capacity of 1024B (bytes), and an area of 512B (bytes) out of the total capacity is required when executing a program relating to the progress of a game. It is used to temporarily store various types of data. Therefore, when collecting the number of games and the number of payouts to calculate the advantageous section stay ratio and the like as in the above embodiment, the remaining 512B (bytes) of the unused area is used as various data such as the number of game plays and the number of payouts. May be used as an area for temporarily storing. If there is no unused area, a separate RAM may be provided on the main board 10, and various data such as the number of games played and the number of payouts for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio and the like in the used area are stored. You may do it. When it is configured to store various data such as the number of games played and the number of payouts for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio, etc. in the used area when there is no unused area, a situation in which the RAM capacity is insufficient may occur. Therefore, 15 sets of individual storage means 199 having a ring buffer structure are used for one set of M times (=6000 games/N (N is any of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12): As another example of a predetermined reference aggregation period), N sets of data may be stored to reduce the capacity required for the ring buffer.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive character payouts, and the number of character payouts, a cumulative total of the game 6000 times, which is a predetermined aggregation period, is stored, and the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the game 6000 times are stored. However, the predetermined counting period is not limited to 6000 games and can be set arbitrarily.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, every time a game is played 400 times, the cumulative total and the total cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous character payouts, and the number of character payouts are updated, and the continuous character ratio and Although it was decided to calculate the character ratio, the continuous character ratio and character ratio are calculated every time one game is played while updating the total of 15 sets and the total sum every time 400 games are played. It may be calculated.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a seal or the like is attached to the front surface of the substrate case 350, it is desirable to attach it to a position that does not hinder the visual confirmation of the display of the ratio display device 327.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, every time a game is played, a first specific signal for notifying that the game has been played once is output to an external device (for example, a hall computer) and 1 You may make it output a 2nd specific signal which notifies that the game was performed once in the advantageous area to an external device every time the game is performed. By doing so, the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section can be accumulated and counted in the external device, and the ratio of stay in the advantageous section can be calculated.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the production state is the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the RT state, but the lottery state transition lottery is performed to change the lottery state. You may do it. For example, when a cherry, watermelon, or common bell is won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select the medium-probability state or high-probability state. Further, the lottery state may be changed according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, the high probability state may be set when the cherry, watermelon, and common bell are won, and the medium probability state may be set when the player loses. Further, when the batting order bell is won, a high probability state may be set when the stop operation is performed in the correct answer order, and a medium probability state may be set when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order. In addition, as a high probability state, there is a first high probability state that is easy to win when cherry is won, a second high probability state that is easy to win when watermelon is won, and a third high probability state that is easy to win when common bell is won. It seems that it is easy to win the AT lottery if it shifts to the first high probability state, shifts to the second high probability state when winning the watermelon, shifts to the third high probability state when winning the common bell, and if the same lottery opportunity continues. It may have any configuration.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the advantageous section is ended based on winning the end lottery in the non-AT state, but without providing the end lottery, a predetermined RT is not won after the end of the AT state without winning the AT lottery. The transition to the state may be a condition for ending the advantageous section. For example, when the transition to the non-RT state is set as the end condition of the advantageous section, when the symbol combination showing the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line in the AT end standby state, the state shifts to the non-AT state, but is cleared. If the stored value of the counter 196 has not reached the threshold value, the advantageous section continues, and the advantageous section ends when the player shifts to the non-RT state by winning one small winning combination without winning the AT lottery. By doing so, it is possible to generate a situation in which the user stays in the advantageous section even after the AT state ends, in the non-AT state and the RT1 state.

Further, for example, when the transition to the RT1 state is set as the end condition of the advantageous section, when one small winning combination is won in the AT end standby state, the state shifts to the non-AT state, but the stored value of the clear counter 196 is the threshold value. If it does not reach, the advantageous section continues, and the advantageous section ends when the symbol combination showing the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line without winning the AT lottery and the state shifts to the RT1 state. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation in which the user stays in the advantageous section when the non-AT state and the non-RT state are maintained even after the AT state ends.

Further, in the above embodiment, the regular lottery (RBB) or challenge big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) is won based on the regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus (CBB) being won, and the regular big bonus (RBB) or challenge big bonus ( Regarding the advantageous section that was started with the winning of the CBB), the end of the advantageous section when the RBB state or the CBB state that was transitioned with the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) has ended It may be a condition. However, in this case, it is desirable to continue the advantageous section when the transition to the AT state has been determined at the end of the RBB state or the CBB state.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the batting order bell or batting order replay is won in the AT preparation state or AT state, or when the replay is winning in the CBB state, batting order bell (when batting order bell is won) or batting order replay (batting order replay). No.), or the correct batting order (when batting order bell or batting order replay is winning), specific batting order (first game in CBB state), or according to the winning mode of replay (when winning replay in CBB state), or The game information indicating the pressing order (second game in the CBB state) different from the specific batting order, the game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or the game information indicating the winning combination is displayed on the game information display section DS, and the game information is displayed. The production control unit 180 may notify the pressing order indicated by (or suggesting) (correct answer batting order, specific batting order, or pressing order different from the specific batting order) by the winning assistance production. In this case, the game information may be displayed on the credit display section CD, the bonus display section BS, or the payout display section PO in the game information display section DS while the reel is rotating.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the dot-shaped segment of the 7-segment display that constitutes the credit display portion CD, the payout display portion PO, or the bonus display portion BS is used as the section display device to notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section. The advantageous zone notification may be executed. Specifically, the section indicator is turned on with the transition to the advantageous section to start the advantageous section notification, and the section indicator is turned off with the transition to the normal section after the advantageous section ends. The advantageous section notification may be ended.

Further, in the above embodiment, in the CBB state, the lottery flags of the small winning combinations 1 to 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. The internal lottery may be performed so that the winning combination 10 is surely won. In the CB game in the CB state or the second CBB state, the internal lottery may be similarly performed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state to determine whether or not to shift to the AT state. However, the CZ state is provided as the effect state, and the AT lottery is not performed in the non-AT state. It may be determined whether or not to shift to the CZ state, the AT lottery is performed in the CZ state, and the effect state is shifted to the AT state based on winning the AT lottery.

FIG. 25 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine in the embodiment in which the CZ state (another example of the special effect state) is provided as the effect state.

In this mode, the storage unit 190 is provided with the CZ end determination counter 207, and the AT control unit 175 performs the CZ lottery according to the result of the internal lottery instead of the AT lottery when the effect state is the non-AT state, and the CZ By winning the lottery, the effect state is shifted to the CZ state as shown in FIG. 26, and in the CZ state, it is determined whether or not to perform AT lottery and shift to the AT state according to the result of the internal lottery. The execution timing of the CZ lottery and the execution timing of the AT lottery may be the same or different. As an example of a mode in which the execution timing of the CZ lottery is different from the execution timing of the AT lottery, the execution timing of the CZ lottery is set to the common bell, watermelon, cherry, and bonus (RBB and CBB) winning, and the AT lottery is executed. The trigger may be the batting order bell and the batting order replay. Regarding the CZ lottery, the win or failure is determined by referring to the CZ lottery table in which the random numbers associated with the common bell, the watermelon, and the cherry are associated with the random numbers in the internal lottery.

Further, in this aspect, a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/32, a medium probability state with a winning probability of about 1/16 and a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/8 can be set as the lottery state of the CZ lottery. In the CZ lottery, the CZ lottery table according to the lottery state is referred to. That is, when the lottery state is the high-probability state, the CZ lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is the medium-probability state is referred to, and when the lottery state is the medium-probability state. Refers to the CZ lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than in the case where the lottery state is the low probability state. The winning probability of the CZ lottery may be different depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery. In this case, the winning probability of the CZ lottery is the same in the low-probability state, the medium-probability state, and the high-probability state, or the winning probability of the CZ lottery increases in the order of “low-probability state<medium-probability state<high-probability state”. A winning mode may exist, and if the total number of random numbers assigned to winning the CZ lottery has a relationship of “low probability state<medium probability state<high probability state”, winning of the CZ lottery for each winning mode The probability can be set arbitrarily.

Then, when the AT control means 175 wins the CZ lottery, the CZ end determination counter 207 sets a predetermined value (for example, 8) corresponding to the number of games (for example, 8 times) as an ending condition to the CZ state, and plays the game in the CZ state. A constant value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 207 each time the process is performed. When the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied and the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. On the other hand, when the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches the threshold, the CZ state end condition is satisfied, and in this case, the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 is set to "0". And the CZ state is completed and the AT preparation state is entered. In the CZ state, the winning assistance production is performed when the batting order bell is won, but the winning assistance production relating to the batting order replay and the winning assistance production relating to the CBB state are not performed. That is, the CZ state is positioned as a simple AT state.

Further, the AT control means 175 sets the lottery state of the CZ lottery according to the RT state when the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, and the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state. In the case, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is made to stay in the medium probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is made to stay in the high probability state.

Further, the AT control means 175 performs an end lottery for deciding whether to end the medium-probability state or the high-probability state based on the fact that the replay is won when the player stays in the non-AT state in the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27, the advantageous section is started by winning the CZ lottery in the normal section, and when the end lottery is won in the non-AT state after the end of the CZ state, the advantageous section ends and the advantageous section Initialization processing is performed by the initialization means 177 based on the end, and the CZ end determination counter 207 is also initialized to the initial value.

Further, in this mode, as shown in FIG. 26, the value stored in the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value when the AT control means 175 stays in the AT preparation state, the AT state, or the AT end standby state. In this case, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, the non-AT state is restored by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, and the stored value of the clear counter 196 becomes the threshold value in the situation where the CZ state is stayed. Even when it reaches, it is adapted to shift to the non-AT state by the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section.

In this mode, as shown in FIG. 26, the CZ state is always passed from the non-AT state to the AT state, and the initialization means 177 stays in the normal section as shown in FIG. If the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value even if the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the advantageous section is generated based on winning the CZ lottery. The advantageous section is maintained until the final lottery is won, and the advantageous section is terminated based on the fact that the final lottery is won. By doing so, it is possible to clarify the situation where the opportunity to transition to the AT state and the situation where the opportunity to transition to the CZ state are obtained in the advantageous section, so that the interest of the game can be improved. become.

In this aspect, in the CZ state, a continuous lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue the CZ state. If the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, and if the result of the continuous lottery is lost. The CZ state may be terminated and the effect state may be returned to the non-AT state. For example, the continuous lottery is performed based on the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaching the threshold value, and when the continuous lottery is won, the CZ end determination counter 207 is reset to a predetermined value (for example, 8). The CZ state may be continued, and the AT lottery is won in the game after the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches the threshold value or the continuous lottery is drawn until the result of the continuous lottery is lost. May be played for each game, or the continuous lottery may be played for each game in the CZ state without providing the CZ end determination counter 203.

Further, in this aspect, the winning assistance production is executed so as to guide the RT state to the RT2 state based on winning the CZ lottery, and the production state is shifted to the CZ state based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state. Then, in the RT2 state, a game is played in the CZ state, and in the CZ state, a winning assistance is produced when the batting order bell is won until the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches a threshold value, and the CZ end determination counter 207 operates. After the memory value reaches the threshold value, the RT state has fallen to the non-RT state or the RT1 state by not performing the prize winning assistance when the batting order bell is won (a specific symbol combination is displayed on the activated line. The CZ state may be terminated based on the fact that the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state even if the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 does not reach the threshold value. Also, the CZ state may be ended. In this example, an RT state for the CZ state may be separately prepared, and a game in the CZ state may be played in the RT state.

Further, in this aspect, when the batting order bell is won in the CZ state, game information indicating the correct batting order corresponding to the type of the batting bell, game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or game information indicating a winning combination is displayed as the game information. The effect control unit 180 may display the pressing order (correct answer batting order) indicated (or suggested) by the section DS by the prize assisting effect, or the game information indicating the correct answer batting order and the internal lottery. The game information indicating the result of the above, or the game information indicating the winning combination may not be displayed, and the winning assistance effect may not be executed.
