Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of executing appropriate control when a predetermined rotation failure occurs with respect to the reel .

In a conventional game machine, there is known a game machine that pays out and controls so as not to be disadvantageous to the player even when the symbols are not aligned due to poor rotation of the reel (for example, "0838" of Patent Document 1 -See "0841") .

Japanese Patent No. 6229810

An object to be solved by the present invention is to enable appropriate control to be executed when a predetermined rotation failure with respect to the reel occurs .

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by the following means (in parentheses, the configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown).
The present invention (third embodiment)
With multiple reels (31),
With multiple stop switches (42),
The role lottery means (61) for drawing the role, and
A reel control means (65) for stopping and controlling the reel within the range of the maximum number of moving symbols when the stop switch is stopped is provided.
In a predetermined gaming state (during 2BB game), the reel control means has the maximum number of moving symbols for at least one specific reel (middle reel 31) among the plurality of reels, and the reels other than the specific reels. Is different (“1” for specific reels, “4” for non-specific reels), and stop control can be executed.
In a predetermined game (under the situation of winning ALL) in the predetermined game state, as a result of the game according to the stop operation order and the stop operation timing of the plurality of stop switches, the first small combination (small combination 01) is assigned. There are cases where the corresponding symbol combination 1 is stopped and displayed, when the symbol combination 2 corresponding to the second small winning combination (small winning combination 02) is stopped and displayed, and when the symbol combination for which the game medium is given is not stopped and displayed. Have and
In a predetermined game in the predetermined game state, when the symbol combination 1 or the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed as a result of the game, a specific number of game media (13 medals) can be given.
In a predetermined game in the predetermined gaming state, when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped, the symbols (bell, watermelon A, cherry, etc.) corresponding to at least the symbol combination 1 are operated on the specific reel. Alternatively, the symbol (watermelon A) corresponding to the replay A) or symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed.
When the symbol combination 1 is stopped and displayed as a result of the game in which the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped in the predetermined game in the predetermined gaming state, and when the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed. And, there is a case where the symbol combination for which the game medium is given does not stop and display.
In a predetermined game in the predetermined game state, the ratio (2 × 375/8000) in which the symbol combination that grants the game medium as a result of the game in which the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped is not displayed as a stop. ) Is lower than the ratio (2 × 3975/8000) in which the symbol combination that grants the game medium as a result of the game in which the stop switch corresponding to the predetermined reel other than the specific reel is first stopped is not displayed as a stop. ,
In a predetermined game in the predetermined gaming state, the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped, and the stop switch corresponding to the predetermined reel is stopped next to each reel stopped. Is displayed even though the symbols corresponding to the symbol combination 1 are stopped and displayed, and then the stop operation is accepted at the timing when the symbol combination 1 can be stopped and displayed for the stop switch corresponding to the remaining reels. , Even when the symbol combination 1 cannot be stopped and displayed due to a predetermined rotation failure with respect to the remaining reels, a specific number of game media can be added.
In a predetermined game in the predetermined gaming state, the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped, and the stop switch corresponding to the predetermined reel is stopped next to each reel stopped. Is displayed as a stop for each of the symbols corresponding to the symbol combination 2, and then the stop operation is accepted at the timing when the symbol combination 2 can be stopped and displayed for the stop switch corresponding to the remaining reels. , Even when the symbol combination 2 cannot be stopped and displayed due to a predetermined rotation failure with respect to the remaining reels, a specific number of game media can be added.
In a predetermined game in the predetermined gaming state, the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first stopped, and the stop switch corresponding to the predetermined reel is stopped next to each reel stopped. Although the symbols corresponding to the symbol combination 2 are stopped and displayed, and then the stop operation is accepted at the timing when the symbol combination 2 does not stop and display the stop switch corresponding to the remaining reels. Even if the symbol combination 2 is stopped and displayed due to a predetermined rotation defect with respect to the remaining reels, the game medium is not given.

According to the present invention, even if the symbol combination capable of assigning a specific number of game media is stopped and displayed due to a predetermined rotation defect with respect to the reel, the game medium is not imparted, so that appropriate control can be executed.

In the present specification, the meanings of the terms are as follows.
"RT" means that the type (number) of the condition devices (characters (special role), replay, small role) to be drawn and the winning probability thereof are in a unique lottery state, and "RT transition". That means that by shifting from one RT to another RT, the winning probability of at least one conditional device (for example, replay) to be a lottery target changes. Therefore, the winning probability for each type of replay in one RT is a value peculiar to that RT, and the winning probability for each type of replay is the same for one RT and the other RT. Absent. However, it is permissible that the total value of the winning probabilities of the replay is the same for one RT and the other RT.

In the present embodiment, the RT first includes non-RT, RT1, RT2, 1BBA to 1BBC operation, and 2BBA to 2BBC operation (FIG. 19 described later).
Note that "non-RT" does not mean that it is not included in the concept of RT, but is equivalent to "RT0". Therefore, the term "RT" as used herein includes non-RT.
Further, in the present embodiment, 1BBA to 1BBC operation and 2BBA to 2BBC operation are provided during the special game (accessory operation). In the present embodiment, none of the 1BBA to 1BBC operations is a replay lottery. Therefore, although it is not strictly included in RT, it will be described as one RT in the description of this embodiment. It should be noted that at least one replay lottery may be performed during the operation of 1BBA to 1BBC, and in this case, the operation of 1BBA to 1BBC can be said to be one RT.
Also, during the operation of 2BBA to 2BBC, a replay is drawn.
In addition, when it is referred to as "the accessory operation", it has a case where it means that the accessory has been won and a case where it means that a special game related to the accessory is in progress.
Furthermore, as an accessory other than 1BB and 2BB, SB is provided in this embodiment, but there is no RT transition based on SB operation.

Further, the present embodiment has a concept different from that of RT, and includes a main gaming state in which transition is controlled by the main control board 50 as in RT. As shown in FIG. 20, which will be described later, the main gaming states of the present embodiment include main gaming states 0 to 2 and 12 to 16. Here, the main game states 3 to 11 are treated as missing numbers in the present embodiment. The actual machine has main game states 3 to 11, but in the following embodiments, the main game states 3 to 11 will be omitted (deleted) for the sake of simplification of the description.

The RT and the main game state have a case where they are linked and a case where they are not linked. For example, when the condition for simultaneously satisfying the RT transition and the transition of the main game state is satisfied, the RT transition and the main game state also shift. On the other hand, when the transition condition of RT is satisfied but the transition condition of the main game state is not satisfied, only RT shifts while the main game state remains as it is. On the contrary, when the transition condition of the main game state is satisfied but the transition condition of the RT is not satisfied, only the main game state shifts while the RT remains as it is.

In the present embodiment, the lottery of the "winning number" is executed by the winning combination lottery means 61 described later. Therefore, the winning combination lottery means 61 is also referred to as a "winning number lottery (decision, selection) means".
The winning numbers of the present embodiment include winning numbers "0" that are not won and winning numbers "1" to "38" that are any of the winning numbers (FIGS. 9 and 10 described later). Then, when the winning number is determined, the "conditional device number" corresponding to the winning number is generated.
The "condition device number" includes a "feature condition device number" and a "winning and replay condition device number".
Then, when the condition device number is generated, the condition device corresponding to the condition device number is activated, so that the symbol combination of the winning combination corresponding to the operated condition device can be stopped and displayed on the effective line.

The "accessory condition device number" is a condition device number corresponding to any special combination (role), and in the present embodiment, "0" to "7" are provided as the "accessory condition device number". ..
The bonus condition device number "0" is the bonus condition device number corresponding to the non-winning of the special role (feature), and the bonus condition device numbers "1" to "7" are any special combination ( This is the accessory condition device number corresponding to the winning of the accessory).
Here, as the "special role (role)", 1BB (type 1 character continuous operation device; type 1 big bonus), 2BB (type 2 character continuous operation device; type 2 big bonus), RB (Type 1 special character; regular bonus), CB (Type 2 special character; Challenge bonus), SB (single bonus) can be mentioned.

1BB (first-class accessory continuous operation device) means a device capable of continuously operating RB (first-class special accessory).
In this embodiment, 1BBA to 1BBC are included as 1BB, and RBA and RBB are included as RBs. Then, during 1BBA operation, RBA is continuously operated. Further, during the operation of 1BBB and 1BBC, the RBA is continuously operated.
During the operation of 1BB, the RB of the present embodiment ends when either the winning of two small wins or the two games is satisfied, and after the end, the condition of ending the 1BB operation is not satisfied. Activate the RB again. However, not limited to this, RB is a small winning combination of "N"("N" is "2" or more and "8" or less), or "M"("M" is "2" or more and "8" or less). 12 ”or less) It is sufficient that the game ends when any of the number of games is satisfied.

Further, 2BB (type 2 accessory continuous operation device) means a device capable of continuously operating CB (type 2 special accessory). 2BB is also referred to as MB.
Furthermore, the SB (single bonus) is a character that executes an SB game consisting of one game. When the SB game (1 game) is completed, the game returns to the game state before the transition to the SB game.
Furthermore, 1BB and 2BB are special roles in which the winning information can be carried over to the next game, and SB and CB are special roles in which the winning information is not carried over to the next game. The carry-over of winning information to the next game and beyond will be described later.

Further, the "winning and replay condition device number" is a condition device number corresponding to a small winning combination or replay in which the winning information is not carried over after the next game, and in the present embodiment, the "winning and replay condition device number" is ". It has 0 "to" 22 ". The winning and replay condition device numbers "0" are the conditional device numbers corresponding to the non-winning of the small winning combination and the replay, and the winning and replay condition device numbers "1" to "22" are the small winning combination or the replay. This is the conditional device number corresponding to the winning.

Then, among the winning numbers "0" to "38" of the above-described embodiment, the winning numbers "0" to "22" correspond to the winning and replay condition device numbers "0" to "22", and The winning number with the accessory condition device number of "0".
On the other hand, the winning numbers "23" to "38" are winning numbers corresponding to the accessory condition device numbers "1" to "5". Here, the winning numbers "23" to "38" include a winning number corresponding to a single winning of a special role and a winning number in which a special role and a small role or a replay are duplicately won.

In addition, when the winning number (in this embodiment, the winning numbers "24" to "38") including any of the special roles that can be carried over to the next game or later is won, the winning information corresponds to the special role. The winning information of the special role is carried over to the next game until the symbol combination stops at the valid line.
Here, a game in which the winning information is not won in the winning number including the special role that can be carried over to the next game or later is referred to as "non-internal". On the other hand, when the winning number including the special role is won, but the symbol combination corresponding to the winning special role has not yet stopped at the valid line, that is, the game in which the winning information of the special role is carried over is "internal". "Medium". In the present embodiment, the game in which the special role is won is included in "non-internal", but the game in which the special role is won may be included in "internal".

In addition, since 1BB of this embodiment may not win a prize in the winning game, it may be inside 1BB. On the other hand, the 2BB of the present embodiment always wins a prize in the winning game, so that it may not be inside the 2BB.
In addition, since the SB does not carry over the winning information after the next game, it will not be inside when the SB is won.

"Stop switch operation information that is advantageous to the player" is a combination that has a large number of payouts (symbol combination) in a game in which the game result (symbol combination that stops at the effective line) is advantageous / disadvantageous depending on the operation mode of the stop switch. ) Refers to the information of the operation mode in which a prize is won (stop display), or the symbol combination that does not shift (promote) to an advantageous RT or shift (fall) to an unfavorable RT wins (stop display).

The "operation mode" corresponds to the pressing order of the stop switch and / or the operation timing (the timing of pressing the stop switch for the target symbol to stop at the effective line).
In the present embodiment, the "game having an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch" is a game at the time of winning the small winning combination A1 to A6 (small winning combination A group), which is a push order bell, and the duplicate replay (replay E1 to E3 (replay E1 to E3). Replay E group)) Corresponds to the game at the time of winning.

Furthermore, when the push order bell is won, the number of bells (small winning combination) that wins when the stop switch is operated in the correct pressing order is the higher bell (out of the duplicate winning bell group (small winning combination), the number of payouts is It may be called a bell (small role) in which it is most advantageous for the player to display the symbol combination such as the most small role.
On the other hand, when the stop switch is operated in the wrong pressing order when the push order bell is won, the cheap bell (out of the duplicate winning bell group (small role group) is paid out according to the operation timing of the stop switch. There are cases where a small winning combination with a smaller number of payouts than a small winning combination with the largest number of cards wins a prize, and cases where a winning combination is missed. The stop roll that is displayed when a role is missed is called a "spilled eye".
However, in the present embodiment, when the push order is incorrect when the push order bell is won, the cheap bell always wins the prize and the spilled eye does not stop (“PB = 1” described later).

In addition, when the replay is won twice, different symbol combinations are stopped and displayed according to the pressing order of the stop switch, but when the replay is won, no omission occurs (“PB = 1”).
In this case, the push order (RT advantageous for the player) is to stop and display the symbol combination advantageous to the player, for example, the symbol combination that shifts to the RT having a higher replay winning probability, or the symbol combination that maintains the RT having a high replay winning probability. The push order) is referred to as "correct push order" or "promotion push order".
On the other hand, the push order in which the symbol combination that shifts from the RT that is advantageous to the player (for example, the RT with a high probability of winning a replay) to the RT that is unfavorable (for example, the RT with a low probability of winning a replay) is stopped is displayed as "illegal push". It is called "order" or "fall (demotion) push order".

The "instruction function" means a function of displaying (notifying) the above-mentioned "advantageous operation mode" to the player.
In other words, the "instruction function" refers to a device (control) that facilitates winning. On the other hand, when the "instruction function" is a device that facilitates the winning of small wins, the "instruction function" is, in a narrow sense, the correct answer pressing for winning the correct answer pressing order (higher bell) when the pressing order bell is won. It means to display the order, and to display the correct answer push order to win a favorable replay (replay to shift to advantageous RT or replay to maintain advantageous RT) at the time of duplicate replay winning. Not included.

However, in the following embodiments, the "instruction function" refers to the function of displaying the "advantageous operation mode" to the player, and the "operation of the instruction function" displays the correct answer pressing order when the pressing order bell is won. It is used in the sense that it includes both to do and to display the correct answer push order that wins an advantageous replay when the replay is duplicated.
It should be noted that showing the content of the "instruction" to the player is "display", and notifying the player of the content of the instruction is "notification". Therefore, the "instruction function" is both a "display function" and a "notification function".
Further, the "instruction" is a concept having the meaning of "instruction", but the player is not penalized for not following the "instruction". However, if the correct answer push order displayed by the operation of the instruction function is not followed, the higher bell may not win when the push order bell is won, or the unfavorable replay may win when the replay duplicate win is won.

Furthermore, the "instruction function operating game" is a game having an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch (a game in which a condition device (small combination A group, replay E group) having an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch is won). , Means a game that activates an instruction function (a game that notifies a player of an operation mode that is advantageous to the player). Therefore, the instruction function operating game is one game. The instruction function operating game may also be referred to as a notification game. Even if the game has an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch, when the instruction function is not activated, the game is not an instruction function operation game.

Further, a game section in which the instruction function is continuously operated, that is, the instruction function operation game (notification game) is continuously executed is referred to as "AT". During AT, the instruction function is basically activated when a combination having an advantageous operation mode of the stop switch is won.
In the present embodiment, one set of ATs of 40 games (when no addition is made) is executed, and when one set of ATs is exhausted and the continuation condition of AT is satisfied, one set of 40 games of AT is executed again. To do.

In addition, under the situation of the winning ALL of the 2BB game in the first embodiment (details will be described later), it is cheaper than the case where the high-ranking small winning combination (13 cards) wins according to the pressing order and the operation timing of the stop switch 42. There is a case where a small winning combination (12 pieces) wins a prize. In this situation of the first embodiment, no missing role occurs.
On the other hand, under the situation of winning ALL of the 2BB game in the third embodiment, depending on the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42, a small winning combination (13 cards) wins a prize and a non-winning combination (winning combination). If you miss it) and.
Then, during the 2BB game of the present embodiment, although it is an advantageous section described later, the instruction function for notifying the advantageous pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not activated (the 2BB game is the instruction function operating game or the AT. Absent).
In the 2BB game, the high-ranked / low-ranked small winning combination wins (first embodiment) or the small winning combination / non-winning (third embodiment) based on the operation of the player's stop switch 42. Yes, it has technical intervention.

In the present embodiment, the "game section" includes a "normal section", a "standby section", and an "advantageous section". In addition, the game section other than the advantageous section, that is, the normal section and the standby section may be collectively referred to as a "non-advantageous section", or the normal section may be referred to as a "non-advantageous section".
First, the "normal section" refers to a signal related to the instruction function, specifically, a push order instruction number and a winning and replay condition device number (information capable of determining the correct push order) described later, which are peripheral boards (for example, sub-control). It refers to a game section that is prohibited from being transmitted to the board) and that does not affect the performance related to the instruction function at all (does not activate the instruction function). In other words, the normal section is a game section in which the instruction function cannot be operated and a game section in which an advantageous operation mode cannot be displayed (notified). However, in addition to the lottery of the winning number, it is possible to determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous section or AT (lottery, etc.).

Since the instruction function must not be activated in the normal section, it is not possible to display (notify) the push order instruction information on a predetermined display device (LED, etc.) electrically connected to the main control board. Since the signal related to the instruction function is not transmitted to the peripheral board, it is not possible to display (notify) an advantageous operation mode by a lamp, a speaker, an image display device or the like electrically connected to the sub control board described later.

The "normal section" of the present embodiment is a game section in which it is possible to determine (lottery, etc.) whether or not to shift to the advantageous section (AT). However, not limited to this, the first normal section (interesting section lottery possible section) in which it is possible to determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous section (lottery, etc.) and the determination whether or not to shift to the advantageous section (lottery, etc.) It is also possible to provide a second normal section (advantageous section lottery impossible period) in which lottery etc. cannot be performed.
For example, when the transition condition to the second normal section is satisfied in the first normal section (for example, when a predetermined winning number is won), the transition to the second normal section can be mentioned. Alternatively, after the end of the special combination (for example, 1BB) operation (after the end of the special game) or after the end of the advantageous section, the transition to the second normal section may be made uniformly or under predetermined conditions.

..
Further, in the transition from the second normal section to the first normal section, a predetermined number of games are consumed, a predetermined winning number is won, a predetermined symbol combination is displayed, and a predetermined RT (for example, a stay ratio among a plurality of RTs). The condition is to move to the highest RT).
In the present embodiment, the transition to the advantageous section is performed on the condition that 1BB or 2BB is won during the normal section. Further, in the advantageous section, the transition to AT is performed on the condition that the "CZ rank" described later becomes "1" or more. After shifting to the advantageous section, if the CZ rank remains "0" and the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, the transition to the normal section is performed without executing AT.

The "advantageous section" is a game section having performance related to the instruction function (the instruction function may be activated), and specifically, when the instruction function is operated, the instruction content (advantageous) on the main control board. Only when the push order instruction information is displayed (notified) so that the operation mode can be identified, a signal related to the instruction function (for example, information on the push order that enables grasping an advantageous operation mode, a prize, and a replay) Refers to a game section in which the condition device number) can be transmitted to the sub control board. In other words, the advantageous section is a game section in which the instruction function can be activated (the instruction function may be activated) and a game section in which the advantageous operation mode can be displayed (notified) (display (notified)). Is. The game in the advantageous section may also be referred to as a noticeable game. On the contrary, a game in a normal section or a game in a standby section may be referred to as a non-notifying game (a game in a non-advantageous section).
However, the sub control board cannot output an effect contrary to the instruction content given by the main control board or the signal related to the received instruction function.

In general, in the advantageous section, the maximum number of payouts (“11” in this embodiment) corresponding to the specified number (“3”) in the game (when the accessory is not activated) in which the instruction function activated game can be executed can be obtained. Instructing the operation mode of the stop switch in which the winning combination (small winning combination 01 to 03) related to the maximum number of payouts is won in the game in which the condition device (small winning combination A group) having an advantageous operation mode is won. , Notifying the push order with a predetermined display device (LED or the like) electrically connected to the main control board), it is necessary to perform at least one game. When the instruction function is activated so that the combination related to the maximum number of payouts (small combination 01 to 03) can be acquired, the "maximum instruction has been generated" has been completed.

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

In the present embodiment, the transition from the normal section to the standby section or the advantageous section is performed based on the fact that 1BB or 2BB having no setting difference is won. Therefore, in the present embodiment, there is no case of shifting to the advantageous section based on the winning of the small winning combination or the replay without winning the special winning combination.
In particular, in the present embodiment, when 2BB is won and the 2BB game is completed, it is an advantageous section at that time, but it is non-AT, and whether or not to shift to AT during the 2BB game and the subsequent precursor game. Is determined by lottery based on the activated condition device. The lottery for whether or not to shift to AT corresponds to the "CZ rank addition lottery process" of the present embodiment. The CZ rank addition lottery process is executed when the condition device having no setting difference is operated.

Further, during the advantageous section, in the game in which the winning combination having the advantageous operation mode is won, the instruction function may be always activated to display the advantageous operation mode of the stop switch. That is, such a game section becomes "AT". In the present embodiment, in the main game state 2 or 16 (advantageous section) described later, the game state corresponds to AT, and the instruction function is always activated when the condition device capable of operating the instruction function is activated.
On the other hand, even if the game is won in a winning combination having an advantageous operation mode during the advantageous section, the instruction function may not be activated. In the present embodiment, the main gaming state 1 (advantageous section), which will be described later, is a precursor and is not a gaming state in which the instruction function is always activated. In the main game state 1, the instruction function is not activated when the push order bell (small winning combination A group) is won, but RT (RT2) is maintained by operating the instruction function when the push order replay (replay E group) is won.

Furthermore, the "waiting section" refers to a game section when the transition to the advantageous section has not yet been made after the decision to shift to the advantageous section. The waiting section may or may not be provided. That is, the normal section may be shifted to the advantageous section, the normal section may be shifted to the standby section, and the standby section may be further shifted to the advantageous section.
Here, in the standby section, it is not possible to operate the instruction function on the main control board or transmit a signal related to the instruction function to the sub control board. When the instruction function is operated on the main control board and the signal related to the instruction function is transmitted to the sub control board, it is a condition that the section is advantageous.

In addition, it is not possible to shift from the advantageous section to the standby section, and after the end of the advantageous section, it always shifts to the normal section. In the present embodiment, when a special combination (1BB or 2BB) is won in the normal section, the section always shifts to the waiting section. When 2BB, which always wins in the game, is won, it shifts to the waiting section when 2BB is won, and it is advantageous when 2BB wins (meaning "when the symbol combination is stopped". The same shall apply hereinafter). Move to the section. On the other hand, when 1BB is won in the game, the waiting section is shifted to and the waiting section is maintained until 1BB wins a prize. The waiting section is not limited to ending when the special combination wins, and may end before that.
In addition, depending on the type of winning number including the special combination, a special combination that shifts to the waiting section and a special combination that shifts to the advantageous section without shifting to the waiting section may be determined in advance.

In the advantageous section of the present embodiment, since the main game state 0 (preparing for precursors) is operating 2BB, the instruction function is not activated. Further, in the main game state 1 (during the precursor), as described above, the instruction function is not activated when the push order bell is won, but the instruction function is activated when the push order replay is won. Further, in the main game state 2 or 16 corresponding to during AT, the instruction function is activated at both the push order replay winning and the pushing order replay winning.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined (lottery, etc.) whether or not to add (add) the number of AT games during AT. When the AT of 40 games per set is executed as in the present embodiment, the number of sets may be added, but the number of games in one set may not be added. Alternatively, both the addition of the number of games and the addition of the number of sets in one set may be executed, or neither may be executed.
In addition, the maximum number of continuous games (1500 games in this embodiment) is set in the advantageous section, and when the maximum number of continuous games is reached, even if the advantageous section or the remaining number of games of AT is held. At that point, the advantageous section and AT are always terminated, and the normal section is started.

Further, when the maximum number of continuous games is reached in the advantageous section or AT, an advantageous operation mode in which the maximum number of payouts (refers to the maximum number of payouts when the accessory is not activated; 11 in the present embodiment) can be obtained. Even if the winning combination (small combination A group) has never been won, the advantageous section is always ended at that point and the normal section is started.

The relationship between the advantageous section and AT can be arbitrarily set. However, it is necessary to be in the advantageous section during AT. For example, it may be set to "advantageous section = AT". In this case, AT is continued throughout the advantageous section.
Further, the non-AT and the AT may be repeated (execution of at least one AT) during the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, there are a case where the section is advantageous and AT (for example, main game state 2 or 16) and a case where the section is advantageous and non-AT (for example, main game state 0 or 1). Further, in the main game states 14 and 15, 1BB is in operation and AT is not executed.
In addition, it is decided that the AT execution condition is not satisfied only by shifting to the advantageous section, and whether or not to execute the AT is decided by lottery etc. on the condition that the AT is in the advantageous section, and the AT is executed. When it is determined, the AT may be executed until the end condition of the AT is satisfied.

In this embodiment, as a general rule, AT is executed in a state where the winning probability of the replay is high (RT2), so that the ART is performed.
However, as will be described in detail later (FIG. 19), if SB or Replay 04 wins during RT2, the process shifts to RT1. If you move to RT1, you will continue to stay in RT1 unless you digest 333 games or win 1BB or 2BB. Here, the winning probability of the replay in RT1 of the present embodiment is about "1 / 7.3" (FIG. 11). Therefore, when AT is executed during RT1, it is not strictly ART.

The pull-in rate (PB) means that the desired symbol that you want to stop on the effective line is stopped on the effective line from the moment you operate the stop switch until the reel stops (maximum number of moving symbols (frames)). Show the probability of being able to do it.
Then, if the stop switch is not operated at an appropriate reel position (at an operation timing at which the target symbol can be stopped at the effective line within the range of the maximum number of moving symbols), the target symbol is stopped at the effective line (up to the effective line). The inability to pull in) is referred to as "PB (pull-in rate) ≠ 1".
On the other hand, "PB" indicates that the target symbol can always be stopped (pulled in) to the effective line regardless of the position of the reel at the moment when the stop switch is operated (regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch). = 1 ".
In the following description, "PB = 1" means that the maximum number of transition symbols is "4" except for the middle reel 31 when 2BB is operating. Further, for the middle reel 31 when the 2BB is operated, the maximum moving symbol is "1".

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

When the game progresses with "N-1" game, "N" game, "N + 1" game, ... ("N" is an integer of 2 or more), the current game is "N" game. When it is an eye, the game of the "N" game is referred to as "this time game". Further, the game of the "N-1" game is referred to as a "previous game". Furthermore, the game of the "N + 1" game is referred to as the "next game".

Further, the "game medium" is a medal in the present embodiment, but in the case of, for example, an enclosed (ECO) game machine, electronic information (electronic medal, electronic data) is used as the game medium. In addition, "electronic information" means, for example, when money (banknotes) is inserted into a lending machine, it is converted into electronic information corresponding to the money, and a part or all of the electronic information is played by the game machine. It can be stored in a game machine as a game medium for performing the above.
Further, when the game medium is electronic information, "payout of medals" means crediting (adding) to the game medium storage device provided in the game machine. Therefore, in the present invention, "payout of medals" does not mean only actually paying out medals from the hopper, but also serves as a prize for the game medium storage device (for example, the storage number display LED76 of the embodiment). It also includes the process of crediting (adding) the electronic information for the corresponding dividend.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and the like.

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

Further, a blocker 45 is provided on the downstream side of the passage sensor 43a. The blocker 45 is for permitting / disallowing the insertion of medals, and when the insertion of medals is not permitted, the blocker 45 forms a medal passage for returning the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 from the payout slot. To do. On the other hand, when the insertion of medals is permitted, a medal passage for guiding the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 to the hopper 35 is formed.

Here, the blocker 45 is in a state of disallowing the insertion of medals during the game (from the start of rotation of the reels 31 to the end of the payout corresponding to the winning combination when all the reels 31 are stopped and the winning combination is won). To do. That is, the blocker 45 permits the insertion of medals at least when the game is not performed.

A closing sensor (optical sensor) 44 is provided further downstream of the blocker 45. In the present embodiment, the throwing sensor 44 is composed of a pair of throwing sensors arranged at a predetermined distance so that the medal is detected by the other throwing sensor after a predetermined time has elapsed from the detection of the medal by the throwing sensor. It is configured in. Then, it is determined whether or not the correct medal has been inserted based on the timing at which the pair of insertion sensors 44 are turned on / off.

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

In the present embodiment, the operating body of the start switch 41 has a lever (bar) shape (hence, also referred to as a "start lever (switch) 41"), a bet switch 40, a stop switch 42, and a settlement switch. The operating body of 46 is in the shape of a push button (for this reason, it is also referred to as "bet button (switch) 40", "stop button (switch) 42", and "payment button (switch) 46").
Although not shown in FIG. 1, LEDs or the like (light emitting means) are provided in or near or around the operating body of the operation switch. Then, when the operation acceptance of the operation switch is in the permitted state, for example, the LED corresponding to the operation switch emits blue light, and when the operation acceptance of the operation switch is in the disallowed state, for example, the operation switch of the operation switch By emitting red light from the LED or the like, the player is shown the permission / disapproval state of the operation switch.

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

Further, the specified number of the present embodiment is set to 3 when the accessory is not operated, when the SB is operated, when the 1BB is operated, and 2 when the 2BB is operated. When the 1-bet switch 40a is operated twice, two medals can be inserted, and when it is operated three times, three medals can be inserted. When the specified number is 3, the 3-bet switch 40b can be operated to insert 3 medals at a time, and when the specified number is 2, the 3-bet switch 40b can be operated. Two medals can be inserted at one time.

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

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a display board 75 is electrically connected to the main control board 50. In reality, a relay board is provided between the main control board 50 and the display board 75, and the main control board 50 and the relay board, and the relay board and the display board 75 are connected to each other. In No. 1, the illustration of the relay board is omitted. As described above, the main control board 50 and the display board 75 may be directly connected by a harness or the like, but another board may be interposed between them.
Further, the control boards are not limited to being directly connected by a harness or the like, and may be connected via another board (relay board or the like). For example, one or more other separate boards (relay board, etc.) may be interposed between the main control board 50 and the sub control board 80.

The display board 75 is equipped with a storage number display LED 76, an advantageous section display LED 77, and an acquisition number display LED 78.
The stored number display LED 76 is an LED that displays the number of medals stored inside the slot machine 10, and is composed of digits of upper and lower digits. That is, the stored number display LED 76 displays two digits.
Here, the "digit" means a display unit (display), and particularly in the present embodiment, it is composed of a seven-segment display (seven-segment display unit, so-called 7-segment display).

Further, the acquired number display LED 78 is an LED that displays the number of payouts (the number of acquired players) at the time of winning a winning combination, and is composed of a high-order digit and a low-order digit. Therefore, the acquired number display LED 78 displays two digits in the same manner as the stored number display LED 76.
The acquired number display LED 78 may be controlled to turn off when there are no medals to be paid out. Alternatively, the upper digit may be turned off and only the lower digit may be displayed as "0".

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

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

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

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

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

Further, the symbol on the reference position at the moment when the reel sensor 33 detects the index of the reel 31 is stored in the ROM 54 in advance. As a result, it is possible to detect the symbol on the reference position at the moment when the index is detected. Further, from the moment when the reel sensor 33 detects the index of the reel 31, how many pulses the (stepping) motor 32 should be driven to stop the symbol ahead of the symbol on the reference position on the effective line. Can be identified.

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

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

For example, when the signals of the pair of payout sensors 37 are all off even though the hopper motor 36 is driven, it is determined that no medal has been paid out, and a hopper error (no medal) is detected. Will be done.
On the other hand, when at least one of the signals of the payout sensor 37 remains ON, it is detected that the medal is jammed.

Furthermore, an external signal (outer end signal) to the external centralized terminal plate 100 is output from a part of the output port 52.
Here, the "external signal" is a signal to be output to the outside of the slot machine 10 (such as a hall computer 200 or a data counter installed in a hall) via the external centralized terminal plate 100. In the present embodiment, as external signals, signals related to AT (advantageous section) and special games, signals indicating that the slot machine 10 has recovered from an error or power failure (power is turned on), slot machines, and the like. A signal indicating the opening of the front door, a medal bet signal, a medal payout signal, and the like are provided.

In FIG. 1, the sub-control board 80 controls the selection and output of effects (information) during a game and a game standby.
Here, the main control board 50 and the sub control board 80 are electrically connected, and the main control board 50 (control command transmission means 71 described later) is unidirectionally connected to the sub control board 80 by parallel communication. Send the information (control command) required for the output of the production.
The main control board 50 and the sub control board 80 are not limited to being electrically connected, and may be connected by using an optical communication means. Further, both the electrical connection and the optical communication connection are not limited to parallel communication, but may be serial communication, and serial communication and parallel communication may be used in combination.

Like the main control board 50, the sub control board 80 includes an input port 81, an output port 82, an RWM83, a ROM 84, a sub CPU 85, and the like.
The following peripheral devices for effect such as the effect lamp 21 as shown in FIG. 1 are electrically connected to the sub-control board 80 via the input port 81 or the output port 82. However, the peripheral devices for production are not limited to these.
The RWM 83 is a storage medium that can temporarily store data or the like captured when the sub CPU 85 controls the effect.
Further, the ROM 84 is a storage medium for storing various data and the like when a lottery related to the production is performed as the production data.

The effect lamp 21 is composed of, for example, an LED or the like, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the effect lamp 21 lights up in a predetermined pattern. The effect lamp 21 is a back lamp and reel 31 that are arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and illuminate the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three consecutive symbols that can be seen from the display window 17) from behind. A fluorescent lamp that illuminates the design on the reel 31 from the upper part of the reel 31, a frame lamp that is arranged in front of the front door of the slot machine 10 and blinks when a winning combination is won, and the like are included.

Further, the speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a dot display, etc., and various effect images during the game (correct answer pressing order, effects corresponding to the condition device operated in the game, etc.). It also displays game information (the number of games played, the number of acquired cards, etc., when the character is operating or during the advantageous section (AT)).

Further, the chance button 24 is an operation switch used for developing the effect to the next stage by outputting an image prompting the player to operate the effect during the effect and causing the player to operate the button 24. When prompting the operation of the chance button 24, a signal can be output from the sub-control board 80 to the chance button 24 in order to light the LED provided inside or around the chance button 24, and also. In order for the sub-control board 80 to be able to detect that the chance button 24 has been operated, a signal that the chance button 24 has been operated can be input to the sub-control board 80.

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

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

Further, FIG. 3 illustrates the designation of the symbol position in the present specification. In the present specification, the symbol positions at the time of stop that can be seen from the display window 17 are referred to as "upper", "middle", and "lower" in order from the top for each reel 31, and if it is the left reel 31, they are "upper left" respectively. , "Left middle row", "Left lower row".

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, effective lines are set for the nine symbols that can be seen from the display window 17.
Here, the "effective line" is a symbol combination line (display line) that is an arrangement line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped and forms a symbol combination, and a symbol combination corresponding to any combination is used. It is the line that wins the role when it stops at that line. In the present embodiment, the effective line is set to be the same when the specified number of cards is 3 (when the game is played with 3 bets) and when the specified number of cards is 2 (when the game is played with 2 bets).
The effective line of this embodiment is a so-called downward-sloping straight line (“upper left row”-“middle middle row”-“lower right row”). Other than that, it is an invalid line.

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

4 to 7 are diagrams showing the types of combinations (combinations corresponding to winning numbers drawn by the combination lottery means 61, which will be described later), symbol combinations, the number of payouts, and the like in the present embodiment.
The roles of the present embodiment are roughly classified into a special role, a replay (replaying role), and a small role.
Then, the symbol combination corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. When all reels 31 are stopped, if the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped at the valid line (the winning combination is won, the same applies hereinafter), the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.
However, the number of payouts at the time of winning a special role is set to 0. In the replay, medals are automatically inserted (replay).
Further, in the symbol combination, "-" (for example, the symbol of the middle reel 31 of the winning combination number "041") means "ANY (arbitrary symbol)".

In FIGS. 4 to 7, the "3 sheets" displayed in the specified number and the game state indicate the number of payouts when the specified number is 3, and the "2 sheets" means that the specified number is 2. It shows the number of payouts at a certain time. Further, "3 sheets (1)" indicates when the accessory is not operating, and "3 sheets (2)" indicates when SB is operating (during SB game). Furthermore, "3 sheets (3)" indicates when 1BBA to 1BBC is operating, and "2 sheets (4)" indicates when 2BBA to 2BBC is operating.
For example, the replay 01 of the role number "012" indicates that the specified number of 3 cards (1), (2), and 2 cards (4) is a replay, and the "-" of the specified number of 3 cards (3) is , Indicates that the lottery will not be held.

In FIG. 4, the combination numbers "001" to "011" correspond to special combinations (roles). In the present embodiment, three types of 1BB (1BBA to 1BBC), three types of 2BB (2BBA to 2BBC), and one type of SB are provided as special roles.
The special role is a role of shifting from a normal game to a special game.
If any 1BB wins, the medal will not be paid out in this game, but from the next game, it will shift to the 1BB game (1BB operation) corresponding to the special game.
During the 1BB game (when the character is activated), the ball output rate is set to exceed "1", so that medals can be expected to be obtained more than when the character is not activated, which is an advantageous game for the player. ..

Similarly, if 2BB wins a prize, no medal will be paid out in this game, but from the next game, a 2BB game corresponding to a special game will be executed (operation of 2BB).
Similarly, when the SB wins a prize, no medal is paid out in this game, but in the next game (1 game), an SB game corresponding to a special game is executed (SB operation).

In addition, the replay (replay role) is a role that enables the replay to maintain the number of medals inserted in the game this time (automatically bet the medals). For example, if the replay wins when the specified number of games is "3" this time and the specified number of next games is "2", the number of medals inserted in this game is not maintained and the next time. The specified number of games, "2", may be automatically bet.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the replay of the present embodiment includes replays 01 to 05 (role numbers "012" to "044").

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

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the small combination includes small combinations 01 to 18 (combination numbers “045” to “096”).
When the small winning combination A group is won (described later), if the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pressing the correct answer, any of the small winning combination 01 to 03 wins. The small winning combination 01 to 03 are the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts among the small winning combination (when the accessory is not activated) provided in the present embodiment.
On the other hand, the number of small winning combinations 08 to 14 is set to three.
Further, the small winning combination 15 to 17 is set to 8 sheets, and the small winning combination 18 (only when 1BB is operated) is set to 11 sheets.
The small winning combination 08 is a small winning combination that can be won when the push order is incorrect when the small winning combination A group is won.
The small winning combination 09 to 11 have a role as a controlling combination when the small winning combination A group is elected.
In addition, the small winning combination 12 to 17 have a role as a rare small winning combination (for example, an advantageous lottery regarding an advantageous section or AT is executed at the time of winning).
Furthermore, the small combination 18 is a small combination that can be stopped only when 1BB is operated.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, when the symbol combination corresponding to the combination does not stop at the effective line in the winning game, the combination to be carried over to the next game and the combination to be carried over is defined.
The role carried over is 1BB (1BBA to 1BBC) in this embodiment. Since the symbol combination of 1BB is set to "PB ≠ 1", there is a case where a prize is not won in the game in which 1BB is won. Then, when the 1BB is won, the winning information of the 1BB is controlled to be carried over to the next game or later in the game until the 1BB wins.

In addition, 2BB is originally a special role that can be carried over to the next game or later, like 1BB. However, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination of 2BB is set to "PB = 1", and it is set to always win a prize in the winning game. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the winning 2BB is not carried over to the next game or later.
In addition, when the SB, small role or replay is won, the winning combination is valid only in this game, and the winning is not carried over to the next game or later. That is, in the game in which these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination can be won, but regardless of whether or not the winning combination is won, at the end of the game, The right to the winning combination is extinguished.

In FIG. 8, (a) is a diagram showing the type and performance of the special combination in the present embodiment, and (b) is a diagram showing the operation termination condition of the special combination.
As shown in FIG. 8 (a), 1BB of the present embodiment includes three types of 1BBA to 1BBC, all of which are "7" in any color. As shown in FIG. 2, one "blue 7", "red 7", "white 7", and "blue 7" are arranged on each reel 31. Therefore, the symbol combination of 1BB is "PB ≠ 1".
In addition, when 1BBA wins and shifts to 1BBA game, RBA (regular bonus) operates continuously. No symbol combination corresponding to RBA is provided.

RBA ends with two games, two winnings, or the end of operation of 1BBA. The operation termination condition of 1BBA is set to pay out more than 264 medals. Therefore, during the operation of 1BBA, the RBA is continuously operated until two games or two prizes are won, and it is determined whether or not more than 264 medals have been paid out for each game. If more than 264 medals have not been paid out, RBA is continued. Then, when the continuous operation of the RBA results in two games or two winnings, the operation of the RBA is temporarily terminated. Next, it is determined whether or not more than 264 medals have been paid out, and when more than 264 medals have been paid out, the operation termination condition of 1BBA is satisfied, so that the operation of 1BBA is terminated. As a result, the operation of the RBA is also completed. On the other hand, when it is determined that more than 264 medals have not been paid out, the operation of the RBA is restarted.

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

Further, the 2BB of the present embodiment includes three types of 2BBA to 2BBC.
For example, the symbol combination of 2BBA is set to "blue 7 / watermelon A"-"bell"-"bell", and all the symbols of each reel 31 are arranged at "PB = 1" in total. Similarly, the 2BBB symbol combination is "Red 7 / Replay B / Watermelon B"-"Bell"-"Bell", and the 2BBC symbol combination is "Blue 7 / Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A"-" It is "Replay A", and all the symbols of each reel 31 are arranged at "PB = 1" in total.
Therefore, the 2BB of the present embodiment wins with "PB = 1".
During 2BB operation, CB is set to operate continuously. No CB symbol combination is provided.
In addition, the 2BBA to 2BBC games of the present embodiment are all terminated by paying out more than one medal or operating the SB (SB winning). The 2BB game is a situation where the CB is continuously operating, but in this case, it means that the winning flags of all the small wins are set (all the small wins can be won). .. Hereinafter, this situation is referred to as "winning ALL".

During the 2BB game, predetermined replays (replays C and D) and SB are drawn.
If neither of the predetermined replays (replays C and D) and SB is won during the 2BB game, the winning ALL winning flag is set by the operation of the CB, and one of the small wins is won. The small winning combination that wins when the CB is activated also changes depending on the pushing order and operation timing. This point will be described later.

Further, even if the SB is won in the 2BB game, the SB is not won and the winning ALL is controlled to be prioritized. Since the winning of the SB during the 2BB game satisfies the end condition of the 2BB game, the 2BB game is controlled to be ended in the game.
Furthermore, when the replay C or D is won in the 2BB game, the winning replay C or D is controlled to win in the game. In this case, the game is a replay, and the condition of "payment of more than one card", which is the end condition of the 2BB game, is not satisfied. Therefore, in the 2BB game, the 2BB game does not end as long as the replay C or D continues to be won.

When starting the game, the player inserts medals stored in advance by operating the bet switch 40 (storage bet), or takes care of the medals from the medal insertion slot 43 (care bet). When the start switch 41 is operated with a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the gaming state bet, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control board 50. When the main control board 50 (specifically, the reel control means 65 described later) receives this signal, the winning combination lottery means 61 draws a winning number and drives and controls all the motors 32 to control all the motors 32. The reel 31 is controlled to rotate. By rotating the reel 31 by the motor 32 in this way, the symbol on the reel 31 is moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 17 at a predetermined speed.

Then, by pressing the stop switch 42, the player stops the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control board 50. When the main control board 50 (specifically, the reel control means 65 described later) receives this signal, it drives and controls the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 to correspond to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 61. As described above, the stop control of the reel 31 related to the motor 32 is performed.

Then, the game result of this game is displayed by the symbol combination when all the reels 31 are stopped. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops at the valid line (when the winning combination is won), the medals corresponding to the winning winning combination are paid out.

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

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

The combination lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generating means (hardware random number or the like) for lottery, a random number extracting means for extracting random numbers generated by the random number generating means, and a random number value extracted by the random number extracting means. It is equipped with a winning number determining means for determining the winning number.

The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined region (for example, "0" to "65535" in decimal numbers). The random number is, for example, a random number that the counter that counts 1 in 200 n (nano) sec keeps counting in the range of "0" to "65535" as one cycle, and is a random number while the power of the slot machine 10 is turned on. Keep counting.

The random number extraction means extracts the random numbers generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (on) by the player. The determination means determines the winning number corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs by collating the random number value extracted by the random number extraction means with the lottery table described later. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the area of the winning number "1", the winning number in the game is determined to be "1". When the winning number is "1", the winning and replay condition device number in the game is "1" (replay A1), and the accessory condition device number is "0".

9 and 10 are diagrams showing a winning number drawn by the winning combination lottery means 61, a conditional device number corresponding to the winning number, and the contents of the winning combination included in the conditional device number.
In FIGS. 9 and 10, the winning numbers "0" to "38" are serial numbers including all winnings of special winning combination, small winning combination, and replay.
Further, "number 1" is a winning and replay condition device number (condition device number not including a special combination).
Furthermore, "number 2" is a bonus condition device number including a special role.

As described above, among the winning numbers "0" to "38", the winning numbers "0" to "22" are winning numbers that do not include special roles, and the winning numbers "23" to "38" are. , The winning number including the special role. Thereby, by determining whether or not the winning number determined by the winning combination lottery means 61 is less than "23", the process of determining (generating) the winning and replay condition device number and the accessory condition device number can be simplified. Can be done.

Specifically, when the winning number is less than "23", the determined winning number can be stored as it is in the predetermined address of the RWM53 as the winning and replay condition device number.
On the other hand, if the winning number is not less than "23", a control process for generating a winning combination condition device number and a winning and replay condition device number is executed from the determined winning number. For example, it is provided with a specific table for generating a prize condition device number and a winning and replay condition device number from the winning number. Then, based on the winning number and the specific table, the bonus condition device number and the winning and replay condition device number can be generated, and the generated bonus condition device number and the generated winning and replay condition device number are generated. Each can be stored at a predetermined address of RWM53.

In the situation where any one of "1" to "4" is stored in the address for storing the accessory condition device number (inside the so-called special role (1BB)), the winning numbers "23" to "38" When any of the above is won, the accessory condition device number generated based on the winning number is controlled so as not to be overwritten by the address for storing the accessory condition device number.

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

Here, in the non-AT game (a game in which the correct answer pressing order is not notified), the main control board 50 transmits the determined effect group number to the sub control board 80 to the sub control board 80, but the determined pressing is performed. The forward instruction number is not transmitted to the sub control board 80. Then, on the sub-control board 80 side, in the game during non-AT, the effect is determined based on the received effect group number. Therefore, for example, when the effect group number "6" is received, an effect indicating that one of the bells (or a small role) has been won (for example, in the color effect, a yellow effect corresponding to the bell, or one of them). It is possible to output the white effect corresponding to the role of, but it is not possible to output the effect related to the correct answer pressing order. Further, since the push order instruction number is not transmitted from the main control board 50 to the sub control board 80, the information transmission path between the sub control board 80 or the main control board 50 and the sub control board 80 is invalid. Since it is not possible to attach an electronic device and illegally obtain the correct answer pressing order, it is possible to prevent a goto act.

On the other hand, in the game during AT (the game that notifies the correct answer push order), the main control board 50 transmits the push order instruction number and the effect group number to the sub control board 80. As a result, the sub-control board 80 can output an effect related to the correct answer pressing order in addition to the effect of the winning combination, separately from the operation of the instruction function by the main control board 50.

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

Furthermore, the "lottery during the advantageous section" is a lottery related to AT (specifically, a CZ rank lottery, a CZ rank addition lottery, an additional lottery, a precursor counter addition lottery, and a continuous lottery (individual continuation) during the advantageous section. It indicates whether or not to execute the lottery, the common continuous lottery, etc.), and in the figure, "○" means that one of these lottery is executed during the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, during the advantageous section, when the replay D is won during the 2BB game, when the small winning combination A is won, when the small winning combination B to E is won, when the SB is won during the 2BB game, and during the RBB (1BBB or 1BBC) game. When the small wins H, I, and J are won, when 1BBB is won, when 1BBC is won, and when 2BB is won, one of these lottery is executed.

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

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

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

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, there is a case where the special combination and the small combination or the replay are duplicated. For example, the winning number "24" is the duplicate winning of 1BBA and the small combination B, and the winning and replay condition device numbers are "14", and the accessory condition device number is "1".
If the special role and the small role or replay are won in duplicate, the prize for the small role or replay is prioritized in this game (this priority can be set arbitrarily). Also, since the winning of a small role or replay is valid only in this game, the winning will not be carried over to the next game, but the winning information of 1BB will be carried over to the next game unless a prize is won.

In particular, in the first embodiment, when the condition device related to the small combination and the replay is operated, the patterns of the small combination and the replay are arranged so that “PB = 1”, respectively. For this reason, in a game in which a special role and a small role or a replay are won in duplicate, the winning small role or the replay wins with priority, and the winning special role does not win. When a special role is won alone, the special role won in the game can be won by pressing the symbol related to the winning special role.

Next, the symbol arrangement (FIG. 2) in this embodiment will be described. In addition, "PB = 1" in the following description of the symbol arrangement excludes the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation.
As shown in FIG. 2, four "replay A" s are arranged at intervals of five symbols on the middle and right reels 31. As a result, the "replay A" of the middle and right reels 31 has a "PB = 1" arrangement. When the number of symbols on the reel 31 is set to "20" and the maximum number of moving symbols is set to "4", if four target symbols are arranged at intervals of five symbols, the target symbol becomes "PB = 1".
Further, the "watermelon A" of the middle reel 31 is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, and is arranged with "PB = 1" (middle reel 31 of the replay 04).
Similarly, in all reels 31, four "bells" are arranged at intervals of five symbols. As a result, the "bells" of all reels 31 are in the "PB = 1" arrangement.

Furthermore, on the left reel 31, five "Replay A" or "Replay B" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, on the left reel 31, the total arrangement of "replay A / replay B" is "PB = 1".
Similarly, in the middle reel 31, four "watermelon B" or "cherry" are arranged at intervals of five symbols. As a result, in the middle reel 31, the total arrangement of "watermelon B / cherry" is "PB = 1".

Furthermore, on the left reel 31, either "watermelon A" or "blue 7" is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. As a result, the "watermelon A / blue 7" on the left reel 31 has a "PB = 1" arrangement (2BBA and 2BBC left reel 31).
Further, on the left reel 31, five "Red 7", "Replay B", or "Watermelon B" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the "red 7 / replay B / watermelon B" of the left reel 31 is arranged in "PB = 1" (2BBB, replay 04, and left reel 31 of the small winning combination 07).

Furthermore, in the middle reel 31, five "watermelons A" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the "watermelon A" of the middle reel 31 is arranged at "PB = 1".
Further, on the right reel 31, four "watermelon A" or "replay B" are arranged at intervals of five symbols. As a result, the "watermelon A / replay B" of the right reel 31 is arranged at "PB = 1" (right reel 31 of the small winning combination 03).

Further, on the right reel 31, "cherries" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. Therefore, the "cherry" of the right reel 31 is arranged in "PB = 1" (right reel 31 of small winning combination 12 to 14).
Furthermore, in the left reel 31, "blank", "white 7", "replay B", "watermelon B", and "red 7" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, the sum of these symbols is "PB = 1" (left reel 31 of replay 02).
Further, in the right reel 31, "blue 7", "blank", "white 7", or "red 7" are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols in the total of these 4 symbols, so that the total of these 4 symbols is " PB = 1 ”arrangement (right reel 31 of replay 02). That is, no matter when the stop switch 42 is operated, any one of "blue 7", "blank", "white 7", or "red 7" can be stopped at the effective line.

Hereinafter, the winning numbers in FIGS. 9 and 10 and their condition devices will be described.
The winning number "0" is a winning number that is a non-winning role (so-called loss).
Replay A with winning number "1" and replay B with winning number "2" are both duplicate winnings of replays including replay 01. When this condition device is activated, the replay 01 is awarded. During the SB game, Replay B may be won only during non-RT.
The replay C of the winning number "3" and the replay D of the winning number "4" are the winning of the replay including the replay 05, and when this condition device is activated, the replay 05 is controlled to win a prize. Replay C is a replay having a setting difference in the winning probability (described later), while replay D is a replay having no setting difference. During the 2BB game, replay C and replay D are drawn, and when replay D is won, a lottery (described later) regarding the advantageous section (AT) is executed.
At the time of winning Replay C and Replay D, Replay 05 wins a prize, so the player does not seem to know which one was won.

Winning numbers "5" to "7" are replay E groups. The replay E group has three types of replays E1 to E3, and the winning combination is a duplicate winning of the replay including the replays 02 and 04, respectively.
When the replay E group is won, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that the replay 02 wins at the specific first stop and the replay 04 wins at the other first stop.
When the condition device of the replay E1 is activated, the replay 02 is won when the push order is "1-−" (meaning the left first stop), and the replay 04 is won when the middle or right first stop is performed.
Further, when the condition device of the replay E2 is activated, the replay 02 is won when the push order is "-1-" (meaning the first stop in the middle), and the replay 04 is won when the first stop is left or right. ..
Furthermore, when the condition device of the replay E3 is activated, the replay 02 is won when the push order is "--1" (meaning the first right stop), and the replay 04 is won when the left or middle first stop is performed. Let me.

In this embodiment, the winning numbers "5" to "7" are drawn in RT2, RT2 is maintained when Replay 02 is won, and RT2 is changed (falls) when Replay 04 is won, which functions as an RT transition replay. To do.
In the case of duplicate replay winning, the replay (replaying role) wins regardless of the push order, so there is no concept of high / low medals. However, when the replay E1 is won in RT2, the replay 02 wins in the first left stop and maintains RT2. On the other hand, in the middle or right first stop, the replay 04 wins and shifts from RT2 to RT1 (RT which is more disadvantageous to the player than RT2).

The small winning combination A1 to small winning combination A6 of the winning numbers "8" to "13" are so-called push order bells having six push orders. The conditional devices of the small winning combination A1 and the small winning combination A2 include the small winning combination 01 and 08 as winning combinations. Then, when the push order is correct, the small winning combination 01 (11 pieces when the accessory is not activated) is won, and when the pushing order is incorrect, the small winning combination 08 (3 pieces) is won.
In the push order bell, the push order "123" in the figure means the push order "left middle right". Similarly, the push order "132" indicates the push order "left and right middle", the push order "213" indicates the push order "middle left and right", and the push order "312" indicates the push order "middle right left". "231" indicates the push order "right, left, middle", and the push order "321" indicates the push order "right, middle, left".
In addition, unlike the present embodiment, it is also possible to set so that the winning combination is missed (non-winning of the combination) at a fixed rate when the pressing order is incorrect when the push order bell is won. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the push order is incorrect, three small wins 08 are set to win with "PB = 1".

First, "small role A1" will be described as an example.
The correct answer push order when the small role A1 is won is "123 (left, middle right)". Therefore, at the time of the first left stop, the small winning combination 01 is won. The design combination of the small role 01 is "Blue 7 / Watermelon A"-"Bell"-"Bell", and since the "bell" is arranged in "PB = 1" on all reels 31, the small role 01 is always won. Can be made to.
At the time of the first left stop, it is undecided whether the answer will be correct or incorrect in the push order, but when the left reel 31 is stopped, "Blue 7 / Watermelon" is always displayed in the upper left row (effective line; see FIG. 3). Stop "A".

On the other hand, at the time of the first stop in the middle or the right, since the wrong answer in the push order is determined at this point, the small winning combination 01 is not won and the small winning combination 08 is controlled to be won.
For example, at the time of the first middle stop, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line (middle middle stage). Then, in this case, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped after that, and "Replay B / Watermelon A" is stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped.
Similarly, at the first right stop, "Replay B / Watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line (lower right). Then, in this case, the "blue 7 / watermelon A" is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped after that, and the "bell" is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

When "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left corner at the time of the left first stop, if it is the middle second stop, the correct answer in the push order is confirmed at this point, so at the middle second stop, the middle Stop "Replay A" in the middle. Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped thereafter, the "bell" is stopped at the lower right stage.
On the other hand, when "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left corner at the time of the left first stop, if it is the right second stop, the wrong push order is confirmed at this point, so the right second stop. Occasionally, "Replay B / Watermelon A" is stopped at the lower right. Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped thereafter, the "bell" is stopped in the middle middle stage.

As described above, when the push order is correct, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A"-"Replay A"-"Bell" is stopped on the effective line. At this time, "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (lower horizontal bell) stops at "lower left"-"lower middle"-"lower right".
Also, when the push order is incorrect, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A"-"Bell"-"Replay B / Watermelon A" is stopped on the effective line. At this time, "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (upward right bell) stops at "lower left"-"middle middle"-"upper right".

The above control is the same for the small winning combination A2 to the small winning combination A6. When the condition device for the small winning combination A2 is activated, the small winning combination 01 is awarded when the correct answer pressing order is "132", and the small winning combination 08 is awarded when the pressing order is other.

The condition device for the small winning combination A3 and the small winning combination A4 includes a small winning combination 02 that wins when the push order is correct and a small win 08 that wins when the push order is incorrect.
For example, when the condition device of the small winning combination A3 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is "213 (middle left and right)". In this case, when the middle first stop is performed, since the push order correct answer / incorrect answer has not been determined at this point, the symbol related to the middle reel 31 of the small winning combination 02 is stopped in the middle middle stage. Here, the symbol of the middle reel 31 of the small winning combination 02 is "ANY" (the winning combination number "047" in FIG. 6), but in the present embodiment, the "bell" is controlled to be stopped.

Next, when the left second stop is performed, the correct push order is determined at this point, so when the left reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the upper left stage. Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the lower right stage. As a result, the bell is stopped to the right.
On the other hand, if it is the second stop on the right after the first stop in the middle, the push order will be incorrect at this point, so in order to win the small role 08, "Replay B / Watermelon A" will be stopped in the lower right .. Then, when the left reel 31 is stopped, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left row (upward right bell).

In addition, when the condition device of the small winning combination A3 is activated, when the left first stop is performed, the push order is incorrect at this point, so in order to win the small winning combination 08, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left row. Let me. After that, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped, and when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "replay B / watermelon A" is stopped (upward right bell).
When the condition device of the small winning combination A3 is activated, each reel 31 is stopped in the same manner as described above (right rising bell) even when the right first stop is performed.
When the condition device of the small winning combination A4 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is "312 (middle right left)". In this case, as in the case of operating the small winning combination A3 condition device, the small winning combination 02 is awarded when the push order is correct, and the small winning combination 08 is awarded when the push order is incorrect.

The condition device for the small winning combination A5 and the small winning combination A6 includes a small winning combination 03 that wins when the push order is correct, and a small win 08 that wins when the push order is incorrect.
For example, when the condition device of the small winning combination A5 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is "231 (right, left, middle)". In this case, when the right first stop is performed, the push order correct answer / incorrect answer has not been determined at this point, so the symbol "Replay B / Watermelon A" related to the right reel 31 of the small winning combination 03 is displayed at the lower right. Stop at the middle stage.

Next, when the left second stop is performed, the correct push order is determined at this point, so when the left reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the upper left stage. Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "watermelon B / cherry" is stopped in the middle middle stage. As a result, the upper horizontal bell becomes a stop type.
On the other hand, when the right first stop and the middle second stop, the push order is incorrect at this point, so in order to win the small winning combination 08, the "bell" is stopped in the middle middle stage. Then, when the left reel 31 is stopped, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left row (upward right bell).

In addition, when the condition device of the small winning combination A5 is activated, when the left first stop is performed, the push order is incorrect at this point, so in order to win the small winning combination 08, "Blue 7 / Watermelon A" is stopped in the upper left row. Let me. After that, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped, and when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "replay B / watermelon A" is stopped (upward right bell).
When the condition device of the small winning combination A5 is activated, each reel 31 is stopped in the same manner as described above even when the middle first is stopped (upward right bell).
When the condition device of the small winning combination A6 is activated, the correct answer pressing order is "321 (right, middle, left)". In this case, as in the case of operating the small winning combination A5 condition device, the small winning combination 03 is won when the push order is correct, and the small winning combination 08 is won when the push order is incorrect.

The small winning combination B (common bell) of the winning combination "14" is a conditional device controlled so as to be a stop type in which the bells are aligned regardless of the pressing order, and includes the small winning combination 04 to 07 as the winning combination. When the condition device of the small winning combination B is activated, the symbol combination of the small winning combination 07 is stopped at the effective line. The symbol combination of small role 07 is "Red 7 / Replay B / Watermelon B"-"Bell"-"Replay A", but when this symbol combination stops at the effective line, the bell alignment stops at the horizontal middle line. To do.

The small winning combination C (strong cherry) with the winning number "15" is a conditional device for winning the small winning combination 12 to 14 in duplicate. When the condition device of the small winning combination C is activated, the small winning combination 14 is controlled to win a prize. It is a combination of symbols of small role 14, "blank / bell"-"bell"-"cherry", but if the 12th "bell" is stopped in the upper left when the left reel 31 is stopped, the 10th is in the lower left. "Cherry" stops. Further, if the "bell" of the first, sixth or eleventh is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "cherry" is stopped in the lower middle stage. Furthermore, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "cherry" is stopped at the lower stage. Therefore, when the player presses the "cherry" on the lower row when each reel 31 is stopped, the cherry alignment (triple cherry) stops on the lower row (straight line).

Unlike the small winning combination C, the small winning combination D (weak cherry) of the winning number "16" is a condition device in which the cherry alignment does not stop. When the condition device for the small winning combination D is activated, the small winning combination 13 which is one of the winning winning combinations is controlled to win a prize. The symbol combination of the small role 13 is "bell"-"watermelon B / cherry"-"cherry", but unlike the above small role C, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, "cherry" is stopped in the middle lower row. Since it does not, the cherry alignment does not stop on the straight line.

The small winning combination E (watermelon A) of the winning number "17" is a condition device capable of stopping the watermelon alignment on the horizontal line, and the winning winning combination includes the small winning combinations 15 and 16. When the condition device for the small winning combination E is activated, the small winning combination 15 is stopped at the effective line. The symbol combination of the small role 15 is "blue 7"-"watermelon A"-"red 7 / blue 7 / blank", but if "blue 7" is stopped in the upper left row when the left reel 31 is stopped, the left middle row "Watermelon B" stops at. If "Red 7 / Blue 7 / Blank" is stopped in the lower right row when the right reel 31 is stopped, "Watermelon A" is stopped in the middle right row. Therefore, in this case, the watermelons are aligned on the middle horizontal line.
The small winning combination F (watermelon B) of the winning number "18" is a condition device capable of stopping the watermelon alignment on the effective line (downward right line). In this case, the small winning combination 16 or the small winning combination 17 is stopped at the effective line.

The winning number "19" is drawn during the SB game. The small winning combination G (Yame ALL), which is a conditional device when the winning number "19" is won, is a conditional device in which the small winning combination 08 to 11 are duplicated. When this condition device is activated, it is controlled so that a small winning combination 08, which is a payout of three cards, is won. The stop control at this time is the same as the stop control when the push order is incorrect when the small winning combination A is won.
The winning number "20" is drawn during the SB game, the RBA game, and the RBB game. The small winning combination H (small winning combination ALL), which is a conditional device when the winning number "20" is won, is a conditional device in which all small winning combinations, that is, small winning combination 01 to 17 are duplicated. When this condition device is activated, it is controlled so that the small winning combination 01 (the bells are aligned on the lower line) is won. This stop control is the same as when the push order is correct when the small winning combination A1 or A2 is won. When the condition device for the small winning combination H is activated, it is possible to change the small winning combination according to the pushing order. For example, a small winning combination 01 is awarded at the time of the first left stop, a small winning combination 02 is awarded at the time of the middle first stop, and a small winning combination 03 is awarded at the time of the first right stop. In any case, any of the small roles 01 to 03 may be won.

The winning number "21" is drawn during the RBA game and the RBB game. The small winning combination I (diagonal bell), which is a conditional device when the winning number "21" is won, is a conditional device for winning the small winning combination 02 independently. This role has a role as a weak rare role during the BB game. In this embodiment, as a rare role (a role with a low winning probability) during the BB game, a weak rare with a winning number "21" and a strong rare with a winning number "22" described later are provided. Then, at the time of winning these winning numbers, a lottery regarding the advantageous section (AT) is executed. Furthermore, when a strong rare is won, a lottery regarding an advantageous section (AT) is given preferential treatment over when a weak rare is won. That is, when a strong rare is won, the probability of deciding to move to an advantageous section is higher than that of a weak rare, the probability of deciding to move to an AT is higher than that of a weak rare, and the number of games played in an advantageous section or AT is added. The probability of determining the number is higher than that of the weak rare, the expected value of the number of additional games of the advantageous section or AT is larger than that of the weak rare, and the like. In the present embodiment, in the CZ rank addition lottery described later, when a strong rare is won, the lottery is given preferential treatment over when a weak rare is won.

When the winning number "21" is won and the condition device for the small winning combination I is activated, the same stop control as when the above-mentioned small winning combination A2 or A3 is won is executed, and the effective line, that is, the downward-sloping line Bell alignment stops.
The winning number "22" is drawn during the RBA game and the RBB game in the same manner as the winning number "21". The small winning combination J (V bell), which is a conditional device when the winning number "22" is won, is a conditional device in which the small winning combination 06 and the small winning combination 18 are duplicated. This role has a role as a strong rare role during the 1BB game.
When the condition device for the small winning combination J is activated, the small winning combination 06 is controlled to win a prize. As a result, the bell alignment is stopped at the "upper left stage"-"middle middle stage"-"upper right stage" (V line).

Winning numbers "23" to "38" are winning numbers including special roles.
The winning number "23" is a winning number that is a single winning of SB. Since the symbol combination of SB is "PB ≠ 1", there is a case where a prize is not won in the game. In addition, the winning of SB will not be carried over to the next game.
In addition, 1BBA is not won alone, but is won in duplicate with any of the small wins (winning numbers "24" to "27").
Furthermore, 1BBB has a case of single winning (winning number "28") and a case of duplicate winning (winning numbers "29" to "31").

Similarly, 1BBC has a case of single winning (winning number "32") and a case of duplicate winning (winning numbers "33" to "35").
When 1BBA to 1BBC and any of the small wins are won in duplicate, in the game, the winning of the small wins in duplicate is prioritized, and the winning 1BBA to 1BBC is carried over to the next game or later. ..
In addition, when 1BBB or 1BBC is won alone, it is possible to stop at the effective line by pressing the symbols of these special roles in the game, but if no prize is won, the winning will be carried over to the next game or later.
The winning numbers "36" to "38" are winning numbers for 2BBA to 2BBC, respectively. As described above, since the 2BB symbol combination of the present embodiment is "PB = 1", the game that wins 2BB always wins a prize, and the winning of 2BB is not carried over to the next game or later.

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

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

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a number table in non-RT. In non-RT replays, push order replays (replay E group) and rare replays (replays C and D) are not drawn, and only normal replays with winning numbers "1" and "2" are drawn. However, the winning probability (total value) of the replay is set to a high probability as in RT2 described later. As will be described later, the setting in this way does not shift to the advantageous section after the end of the 1BBA game, but shifts to this non-RT, and in the non-RT, the next special role without reducing the medals so much. This is so that we can wait for the winning of.

In addition, winning numbers "8" to "17" are drawn for small wins. Furthermore, as for the special role, all the winning numbers "23" to "38" are drawn.
Among the special roles, 1BBA is set so that the winning probabilities are not the same in all the set values (the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability). On the other hand, SB, 1BBB, 1BBC, 2BBA to 2BBC have the same winning probability at all set values.

When the lottery or decision regarding the advantageous section in the normal section is performed in association with the winning number, it can be executed when the winning number having the same winning probability in all the set values is won. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when winning including 1BBB, 1BBC, and 2BB, the section shifts to an advantageous section. In addition, for example, in the case of duplicate winning such as "1BBB + small winning combination C" such as winning number "29", it is an advantageous section that the winning probability in the total of these multiple winning combinations is the same in all set values ( It is a condition for making lottery and decisions regarding AT) feasible. Therefore, if the single winning probability of 1BBB has a setting difference, it is not possible to draw or decide on the advantageous section (AT) at the time of winning 1BBB alone, but "1BBB + small winning combination C" (1BBB duplication 1) When there is no setting difference, and when this 1BBB duplicate winning 1 is obtained, a lottery or a decision regarding the advantageous section (AT) can be performed.

In particular, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, when 1BBB or 1BBC is won during the normal section, it is set to win "4" (win AT) with a probability of "4/256" in the CZ rank lottery. (FIG. 23 (b) described later). In addition, when 2BB is won during the normal section, the CZ rank lottery is executed in the same manner as above, but in this CZ rank lottery, "0" is always won, that is, the AT is set to be non-winning. (FIG. 23 (b) described later). When the SB is won, the lottery for the advantageous section will not be executed.
Further, during the operation of 1BBB or 1BBC, or during the operation of 2BB, a CZ rank addition lottery (FIG. 31, which will be described later, AT is won by "1" or more) is executed according to the operated condition device.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a table of numbers in RT1. In RT1, only Replay A with the winning number "1" is drawn for replay. In addition, small roles and special roles are the same as non-RT.
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a table of numbers in RT2. The above-mentioned non-RT and RT1 are RTs scheduled to stay during non-AT, while RT2 is an RT scheduled to stay during AT. Since the AT of the present embodiment sets the ART (replay winning probability is high), the replay winning probability is set high in RT2.
Specifically, in RT2, in addition to the winning numbers "1" and "2" (replay A and replay B), the lottery of the winning numbers "5" to "7" (replays E1 to E3) is executed. Depending on the number of winning numbers "5" to "7", the probability of winning the replay at RT2 is high.

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

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a table of numbers during an RBA game (during a 1BBA game). During the RBA game, the lottery table including the replay and the winning of the special combination is not used, and as shown in FIG. 15, only the lottery table "TBL_LOT_1BB1" for drawing the small combination H to J is used. Further, in any of the set values, the winning probability in the total of the small winning combination H to the small winning combination J is set to "65536/65536".

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a table of numbers during an RBB game (during a 1BBB or 1BBC game). During the RBB game, the lottery table including the replay and the winning of the special combination is not used, and as shown in FIG. 16, only the lottery table "TBL_LOT_1BB2" for drawing the small combination H to J is used. Further, in any of the set values, the winning probability in the total of the small winning combination H to the small winning combination J is set to "65536/65536". During the RBB game, the winning probability of the small role I (BB medium weak rare) and the small role J (BB medium strong rare) is set higher than during the RBA game.
Further, when the small winning combination is won during the operation of 1BBB or 1BBC, the lottery related to AT (CZ rank addition lottery (FIG. 31 (b)) described later) is executed. I don't have it.

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

However, as shown in FIG. 18, a lottery for replays, small wins, and special wins (SB) is executed. When Replay C or D is won, the winning flag in the game is "Replay C or D + Winning ALL", but the winning of Replay C or D is prioritized and the small winning combination is not won.
Further, the replay D has no setting difference in the winning probability. When the replay D is won while the 2BB is operating, a lottery related to AT (a CZ rank addition lottery described later (FIG. 31 (b))) is executed.
In addition, when a small role is won, the winning flag is rewritten to the winning ALL (“*” in the figure).
Furthermore, when the SB is won, "winning ALL + SB" is given, but the winning of a small role is prioritized.

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

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

For example, in a non-internal middle game, when the winning number is "1", the three winning flags of replays 01, 02, and 03 included in the condition device (replay A) corresponding to the winning number "1" are turned on. And the winning flags of other roles are turned off.
Similarly, in the non-internal middle game, when the winning number is "8", the small winning combination 01, 08, 09, and 10 4 included in the condition device (small winning combination A1) corresponding to the winning number "8". One winning flag is turned on, and the winning flags for the other roles are turned off.

Furthermore, as described above, the winning of roles other than 1BB is not carried over, so even if the winning roles are won in the game this time and the winning flags of these roles are turned on, that will be done at the end of this game. The winning flag is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of 1BB is carried over, when the winning flag of 1BB is won in this game and the winning flag related to the winning 1BB is turned on once, the on state is maintained until the 1BB is won. It will be turned off when 1BB wins.

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

Furthermore, for example, when the winning combination lottery means 61 wins 1BBB alone with the winning number "28", the winning flag of 1BBB is turned on in this game, and when 1BBB does not win in this game, the winning flag of 1BBB. Is kept on.
Furthermore, when the winning number "8" (small winning combination A1) is won in the next game (inside), in addition to the 1BBB that has carried over the winning, the condition device (small winning combination A1) with the winning number "8" is supported. The winning flags of the small winning combination 01, 08, 09, and 10 to be played are turned on. Then, at the end of this game, the winning flags of the small winning combination 01, 08, 09, and 10 are turned off, and the winning flag of 1BBB is kept on (the small winning combination 01 or 08 wins in the game).

The push order instruction number selection means 63 selects (determines) a push order instruction number (a number corresponding to the correct push order) based on the lottery result of the winning number by the winning combination lottery means 61.
The "push order" of the push order instruction number selected here means a push order that is advantageous to the player. For example, when the small role A group is won, it refers to the push order in which the higher bell is won. In addition, when a replay duplicate is won, it refers to a push order that promotes to an advantageous RT or a push order that does not fall to a disadvantageous RT.

The push order instruction number selection means 63 may select the push order instruction number in either the advantageous section or the normal section, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in the advantageous section (AT). The push order instruction number may be selected only for. Alternatively, after winning the high bell once in the advantageous section, the push order instruction number may be selected only during ART.

Further, the selected push order instruction number can be transmitted to the sub-control board 80 only during the advantageous section. Therefore, even if the push order instruction number is selected by the push order instruction number selection means 63 in the normal section (note that it may or may not be selected in the normal section), the push order instruction number is the sub-control board. It will not be sent to 80.
In the present embodiment, each winning number is provided with a unique push order instruction number.

In the present embodiment, the push order instruction number is limited to when the small winning combination A group is won and the replay E group is won during AT (main game state 2 or 16), and when the replay E group is won during the precursor (main game state 1). The selection means 63 selects the push order instruction number.
When the push order instruction number is selected by the push order instruction number selection means 63, the push order notification by the main control board 63, that is, the instruction function is activated. As a result, the push order instruction information corresponding to the push order instruction number is displayed on the acquired number display LED 78. Since this push order instruction number is transmitted to the sub control board 80, the sub control board 80 notifies the push order based on the received push order instruction number.

As the push order instruction number, for example
Correct answer Push order 123: Push order instruction number "A1 (H)"
Correct answer Push order 132: Push order instruction number "A2 (H)"
Correct answer Push order 213: Push order instruction number "A3 (H)"
Correct answer Push order 231: Push order instruction number "A4 (H)"
Correct answer Push order 312: Push order instruction number "A5 (H)"
Correct answer Push order 321: Push order instruction number "A6 (H)"
It is stipulated. Therefore, for example, when the small winning combination A1 is won during AT, the push order instruction number "A1 (H)" is transmitted to the sub control board 80. When the sub-control board 80 receives the push order instruction number "A1 (H)", the sub-control board 80 notifies the correct push order, for example, "left, middle, right".

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

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

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

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

For example, the reel control means 65 enables a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination (a combination in which the winning flag is turned on) within the range of stop control of the reel 31 in a game in which at least one winning flag is on. The reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that it can be stopped on the line, and the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so as not to stop the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination (the winning combination with the winning flag turned off) on the effective line.

Here, "within the range of stop control of the reel 31" means the time from the moment the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops, or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (number of moving symbols (frames)). Means within range.
In the present embodiment, the reel 31 is rotated at a speed of about 80 rotations in one minute at a constant speed.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, the time from the moment the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms, except for the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation. As a result, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving symbols from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the time when the reel 31 is stopped is set to 4 symbols, except for the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation.
On the other hand, for the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation, the time from the moment the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. As a result, in the present embodiment, for the middle reel 31 in operation of 2BB, the maximum number of moving symbols from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the time when the reel 31 is stopped is set to one symbol.

For example, in FIG. 2, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first "replay A" of the left reel 31 is located at the lower left stage, the four symbols ahead, except for the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation. That is, up to No. 5 "Red 7" is a symbol that can be stopped in the lower left row. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the symbols No. 1 (stopping bitterness) to No. 5 (sliding 4 symbols) are symbols that can be stopped in the lower left row.
In the following description, "bita (stop)" means that when the stop switch 42 is operated immediately before (the moment when the symbol passes) the effective line, the symbol is stopped at the effective line. Point to.
On the other hand, with respect to the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first "bell" of the middle reel 31 is located in the middle middle stage, the first symbol, that is, the second reel 31 is operated. Up to "Replay A" is a symbol that can be stopped in the middle and middle stages. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the symbols No. 1 (stopping bitterness) to No. 2 (sliding symbol 1) are symbols that can be stopped in the middle and middle stages.

However, not limited to the above, the maximum number of moving symbols is set to 4 from the symbols next to the symbols located on the effective line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, except for the middle reel 31 in which 2BB is operating. Is also possible. In this case, for example, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first "replay A" of the left reel 31 is located in the lower left stage, the next symbol, that is, the second "bell" is used. , No. 6 "Replay A", which is the symbol ahead of the 4 symbols, is a symbol that can be stopped in the lower left row. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the symbols 2 to 6 are symbols that can be stopped in the lower left row.
Similarly, for the middle reel 31 in operation of 2BB, it is possible to set the maximum number of moving symbols to one symbol from the symbol next to the symbol located on the effective line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. .. In this case, for example, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first "bell" of the middle reel 31 is located in the middle middle stage, the next symbol, that is, the second "replay A" is started. , No. 3 "Watermelon A", which is the symbol ahead of the 1st symbol, is a symbol that can be stopped in the middle and middle stages. Therefore, at the above operation timing, the symbols 2 to 3 are symbols that can be stopped in the middle and middle stages.

In the following description, except for the middle reel 31 during 2BB operation, the maximum number of moving symbols from the symbols located on the effective line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated will be described as 4 symbols. Further, with respect to the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, the maximum number of moving symbols from the symbol located on the effective line at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated will be described as one symbol.

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

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

On the contrary, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination stops at the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotation and movement of the reel 31 within the range of the stop control of the above, it is controlled so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking stop control).
Further, in the game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won, the priority order of the winning combination is predetermined according to the winning combination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and the predetermined priority order. Controls the pull-in stop of the symbol with the highest priority.

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

Further, the reel control means 65 includes a stop position determination table for each winning number (for each condition device). The stop position determination table defines the stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Then, in each stop position determination table, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“Replay A” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the lower left stage, only the number of symbols is moved and controlled. Then (how many symbols are slipped), the stop position is predetermined, such as what number symbol is stopped in the lower left row.
As described above, the symbol to stop at the effective line is predetermined by the stop position determination table according to the winning number (condition device), the pressing order, and the operation timing of the stop switch 42.

Here, as the stop control of the reel 31 when the winning winning numbers are duplicate winnings of a plurality of small winning combinations, the following method can be mentioned.
As a first priority, when all the symbols (of the reel 31) constituting the winning symbol combination can be stopped at the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped at that position.

Next, when it is not possible to "stop all the symbols that make up the winning symbol combination on the effective line" (when the first priority cannot be adopted), "number of sheets priority" is set as the second priority. Alternatively, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled by either "number priority".
Here, "number priority" means that among the duplicate winning symbol combinations, the symbol of the reel 31 constituting the symbol combination having the largest number of payouts is preferentially stopped (pulled in) to the effective line. .. Therefore, when the small winning combination A group is won, the small winning combination 01 corresponds to the symbol combination (11 pieces) having the largest number of payouts.
On the other hand, "number priority" means that the symbols of the reel 31 are stopped at the effective line so that the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped at the effective line is the largest.

For example, when the small winning combination A1 is won and the middle first stop is performed, all the middle reels 31 related to the winning winning combination cannot be stopped at the effective line at the same time. This is because there are a plurality of types of symbols of the winning small winning medium reel 31, whereas there is only one effective line, so only one type of symbol can be stopped at the effective line.

Therefore, when the small winning combination A group is won, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled by either the number priority or the number priority. In the present embodiment, when the small winning combination A is won, the reels are stopped and controlled by giving priority to the number of sheets when the push order is correct, and the reels 31 are stopped and controlled by giving priority to the number of sheets when the push order is incorrect. When the reels are stopped and controlled by giving priority to the number of reels, the small winning combination 01 (11-card winning combination) is configured so that the 3-card winning combination can be won without winning.

In the above example, for example, when the small winning combination A1 is won, the small winning combination 01, 08, 09, and 10 are duplicated, so that the symbol combinations that can be won are
Small role 01: "Blue 7"-"Replay A"-"Bell"
Small role 01: "Watermelon A"-"Replay A"-"Bell"
Small role 08: "Blue 7"-"Bell"-"Replay B"
Small role 08: "Blue 7"-"Bell"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 08: "Watermelon A"-"Bell"-"Replay B"
Small role 08: "Watermelon A"-"Bell"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 09: "Blue 7"-"Bell"-"Blank"
Small role 09: "Watermelon A"-"Bell"-"Blank"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Red 7"-"Replay B"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Red 7"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Blue 7"-"Replay B"
Small role 10: "Blue 7"-"Blue 7"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 10: "Watermelon A"-"Red 7"-"Replay B"
Small role 10: "Watermelon A"-"Red 7"-"Watermelon A"
Small role 10: "Watermelon A"-"Blue 7"-"Replay B"
Small role 10: "Watermelon A"-"Blue 7"-"Watermelon A"
Is.

Here, the number of symbols on the middle reel 31 is
Replay A: 2 Bells: 6 Red 7: 4 Blue 7: 4.
Therefore, when the small winning combination A1 is won and the number is prioritized at the time of the middle first stop (when the push order is incorrect), if the "bell" is stopped at the effective line, the symbol combination can be stopped at the effective line. The number is 6 and is the maximum. Therefore, when the number priority is executed at the middle first stop, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped.
Next, when the left reel 31 is stopped as the second stop, if "Blue 7" or "Watermelon A" is stopped, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped becomes the maximum number. Therefore, when the left reel is stopped, "Blue 7" or "Watermelon A" is stopped. In the left reel 31, "blue 7" and "watermelon A" are "PB = 1" in total. Furthermore, when the right reel 31 is stopped, "Replay B" or "Watermelon A" is stopped. In the right reel 31, "Replay B" and "Watermelon A" are "PB = 1" in total. As a result, at the time of the first stop when the small winning combination A1 is won, the small winning combination 08 wins.

In addition, when the small winning combination A1 is won and the number is prioritized at the time of the first right stop (when the push order is incorrect), if "Replay B" or "Watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line, it becomes the effective line. The number of symbol combinations that can be stopped is 6 for each, which is the maximum. Therefore, in this case, when the right reel 31 is stopped, "Replay B" or "Watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line.

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

On the other hand, when the small winning combination A1 is won, when the left first stop is made, the push order is correct at this point. Therefore, the left reel 31 has the symbol "blue 7" or the symbol related to the small winning combination 01, depending on the number of sheets. Stop "Watermelon A". Then, in the case of the middle second stop, since the correct answer in the push order is determined at this point, the number of sheets is prioritized even after the second stop, and the small winning combination 01 is won.

On the other hand, when the left first stop and the right second stop are made, the wrong answer in the push order is determined at this point, so the number is switched to priority. Therefore, if "Replay B" or "Watermelon A" is stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped is the maximum. Therefore, when the right reel is stopped, "Replay B" or "Watermelon A" is stopped. Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped. As a result, when the small winning combination A1 is won, the small winning combination 08 wins when the push order is left or right.
Similarly to the above, for the small winning combination A2 to the small winning combination A6, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled by giving priority to the number of sheets when the push order is correct and by giving priority to the number when the push order is incorrect.

On the other hand, the winning numbers "14" (small role B (common bell)) to "16" (small role D (weak cherry)) are all three small wins, and the number of payouts is the same. There is no priority on the number of sheets or the number of sheets because the winning combination will be duplicated. As described above, when the winning number "14" (small winning combination B) is won, the symbol combination of the small winning combination 07 is stopped at the effective line. Further, when the winning number "15" (small winning combination C) is won, the small winning combination 14 is controlled to win. Furthermore, when the winning number "16" (small winning combination D) is won, the small winning combination 13 is controlled to win.

Winning number "17" (small win E (watermelon A)) and winning number "18" (small win F (watermelon B)) are both duplicate winnings of eight small wins, and the number of payouts is the same. There is no priority on the number of sheets or the number of sheets because the winning combination will be duplicated. As described above, when the winning number "17" (small winning combination E) is won, the small winning combination 15 is stopped at the effective line. Further, when the winning number "18" (small winning combination F) is won, the small winning combination 16 or the small winning combination 17 is stopped at the effective line.

The winning number "19" is a duplicate winning of three small wins, and the number of payouts is the same, so there is no priority on the number of coins or the number of coins. In the present embodiment, as described above, the small winning combination 08 is controlled to win a prize.
The winning number "20" is a duplicate winning of all the small wins, that is, the small wins 01 to 17, and in the present embodiment, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled by giving priority to the number of sheets regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. In the present embodiment, the small winning combination 01 is controlled to win a prize. As described above, it is also possible to win any of the small winning combinations 01 to 03 according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
The winning number "22" is a duplicate winning of 11 small wins, and the number of payouts is the same, so there is no priority on the number of coins or the number of coins. In the present embodiment, as described above, the small winning combination 06 is controlled to win a prize.

Subsequently, the stop control of the reel 31 during the 2BB operation will be described.
During the 2BB operation, the maximum number of transition symbols is 4 for the left and right reels 31, and the maximum number of movement symbols is 1 for the middle reel 31.
While the 2BB is operating, the lottery of the winning numbers shown in FIG. 18 is executed, but when the replay C is won, the reel stop control when the condition device of the replay C is activated is executed. Similarly, when the replay D is activated, the reel stop control when the condition device of the replay D is activated is executed.
In addition, when the role is not won, when any of the small roles is won, or when the SB is won, the winning ALL winning flag is set, and the predetermined small role (high-sized small role or low-sized small role) is set according to the order of pressing. Is stopped and controlled so that the prize is won.

FIG. 51 (a) is a diagram (partial excerpt of FIG. 6) showing a small winning combination that can be won under the situation of the winning ALL state during the 2BB operation, and FIG. 51 (b) is the winning ALL during the 2BB operation. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning ratio (winning rate, winning ratio) of a small winning combination under the situation of. In FIG. 51 (a), the specified number and the gaming state during the 2BB operation correspond to "2 cards (4)". Therefore, the number of payouts at the time of winning the small winning combination 01 to 04 is 13, and the number of payouts at the time of winning the small winning combination 05-06 is 12. Therefore, the small winning combination with 13 payouts becomes the high small winning combination, and the small winning combination with 12 payouts becomes the cheap small winning combination. In the present embodiment, under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, the small winning combination other than the small winning combination shown in FIG. 51 (a), for example, the small winning combination 08 to the small winning combination 11 of FIGS. There is no chance to win a prize inside.
Further, in the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, in the present embodiment, there is no case where the winning combination is missed (when the winning combination is not won). However, in the third embodiment described later, the role may be missed under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation.

Furthermore, in FIG. 51 (b), the displayed number indicates "street".
Here, in the present embodiment, the number of symbols on the reel 31 is 20, and the number of reels 31 is 3, so that all the stop patterns are 8000 by the cube of "20". Then, for example, when the push order is "123", it means that there are "7600" patterns in which the small winning combination 02 (combination number "047") is stopped. In other words, the winning ratio of the small winning combination 02 (role number "047") when the pushing order is "123" is "7600/8000".

In FIG. 51 (b), "1" indicates the left, "2" indicates the middle, and "3" indicates the right in the reel stop order. Therefore, for example, "231" indicates the push order of middle right and left.
1.2 At the time of the first left stop under the condition of the winning ALL during BB operation At the time of the first stop at the left under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, the 0th "blank" is pushed to the upper left (effective line). When it is done, the 0th "blank" is stopped at the effective line. When the left stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.
Therefore, the percentage of symbols that stop on the effective line at the time of the first left stop is
Bell: 19/20
Blank: 1/20
Will be.

Here, the design of the left reel 31 of the winning combination numbers "047" to "051", which is a high-pitched small winning combination, is "bell". Similarly, the symbol of the left reel 31 of the winning combination numbers "052" to "054", which are high-pitched small winning combinations, is "blank". Therefore, if the "bell" or "blank" is stopped at the effective line when the left reel 31 is stopped, the symbol related to the high-pitched small combination is stopped at the effective line, and the number of sheets is prioritized.

For the right reel 31 after the first left stop, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line (20/20).
Further, regarding the middle reel 31 after the first left stop, when the "bell" is pressed on the effective line, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line (middle middle stage). When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "watermelon A", "watermelon B", or "cherry" is stopped. If "watermelon A" and "watermelon B" compete with each other when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the stop of "watermelon B" is prioritized. Specifically, when the 14th "watermelon A" is pushed on the effective line, the 15th "watermelon B" is stopped at the effective line.

From the above, the stop symbol on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped after the left first stop is
No. 1 Vita: Bell (No. 1)
No. 2 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 3 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 4 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 5 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 6 Vita: Bell (No. 6)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 9 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 10 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 11 Vita: Bell (No. 11)
No. 12 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 13 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 14 Vita: Watermelon B (No. 15)
No. 15 Vita: Watermelon B (No. 15)
16th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 17 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 18 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 19 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
No. 0 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
Will be.

Therefore, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the ratio of the symbols that stop at the effective line is
Bell: 4/20
Watermelon A: 8/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
Will be.

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

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

Therefore, the winning rate of the high-ranking small role is "7920/8000", and the winning rate of the low-ranking small role is "80/8000".
The above applies to both when the push order is 123 (left middle right) and 132 (left and right middle).

2.2 Right first stop under the condition of winning ALL during 2BB operation Next, reel stop control at the time of right first stop under the condition of winning ALL during 2BB operation will be described.
When the 14th "watermelon A" is pushed to the lower right (the 13th "blank" is below the frame) when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "watermelon A" is stopped at the lower right. Also, when the 9th "Replay B" is pushed to the lower right (the 8th "White 7" is below the frame), this "Replay B" is stopped at the lower right. When the right stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "bell" is stopped.

Therefore, the ratio of symbols that stop at the effective line of the right reel 31 at the time of the first right stop is
Bell: 18/20
Watermelon A: 1/20
Replay B: 1/20
Will be.
For the left reel 31 after the first right stop, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line (20/20).
Further, regarding the middle reel 31 after the first right stop, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a position where "watermelon A" or "bell" can be stopped on the effective line, "watermelon A" or "bell", respectively. Is stopped at the effective line, and when "Watermelon A" or "Bell" cannot be stopped at the effective line, "Cherry" or "Watermelon B" is stopped at the effective line.

From the above, the stop symbol on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped after the first right stop is
No. 1 Vita: Bell (No. 1)
No. 2 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 3 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 4 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 5 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 6 Vita: Bell (No. 6)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 9 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 10 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 11 Vita: Bell (No. 11)
No. 12 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 13 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 14 Vita: Watermelon B (No. 15)
No. 15 Vita: Watermelon B (No. 15)
16th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 17 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 18 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 19 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
No. 0 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
Will be.
That is, the percentage of symbols that stop at the effective line is
Bell: 4/20
Watermelon A: 8/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
Will be.

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

Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"cherry"-"replay B" (small role 03 with role number "050") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 120/8000
Will be.
In addition, the rate at which "bell"-"cherry"-"watermelon A" (small role 03 with role number "051") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 120/8000
Will be.
The above corresponds to the winning rate of the high-ranking small role.

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

Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Watermelon A"-"Replay B" (small role 06 with role number "058") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "8/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 160/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A" (small role 06 with role number "059") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "8/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 160/8000
Will be.
From the above, the winning rate of the high-ranking small role is "7520/8000", and the winning rate of the low-ranking small role is "480/8000".
The above is the same when the pushing order is 312 (right, middle, left) and 321 (right, middle, left).

3.2 At "213" (middle left and right) under the condition of winning ALL during 2BB operation Next, the reel stop control when the push order is "213" (middle left and right) in the state of winning ALL during 2BB operation will be explained. To do.
When the 1st "bell" is pressed to the middle middle stage (the 19th "white 7" is below the frame), which is the effective line, the 1st "bell" is stopped at the middle middle stage at the first stop. Let me. And, it is only when this one bitter is pressed that the "bell" is stopped at the effective line at the time of the first middle stop.
Further, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated so that "Replay A" can be stopped at the effective line, "Replay A" is stopped at the effective line. Next, when "Replay A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, any one of "cherry", "watermelon A", or "watermelon B" is stopped at the effective line.

Therefore, the stop position of the middle reel 31 at the time of the first middle stop is as follows.
No. 1 Vita: Bell (No. 1)
No. 2 Vita: Replay A (No. 23)
No. 3 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 4 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 5 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 6 Vita: Replay A (No. 7)
No. 7 Vita: Replay A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 9 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 10 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 11 Vita: Replay A (No. 12)
No. 12 Vita: Replay A (No. 12)
No. 13 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 14 Vita: Watermelon B (No. 15)
No. 15 Vita: Watermelon B (No. 15)
16th Vita: Replay A (17th)
17th Vita: Replay A (17th)
No. 18 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 19 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
No. 0 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
Will be.
That is, the ratio of the symbols that stop at the effective line at the time of the first middle stop is
Bell: 1/20
Replay A: 7/20
Watermelon A: 4/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
Will be.

Next, at the time of the left second stop, when the "bell" is stopped at the middle first stop, the left reel 31 is stopped and controlled by using the number priority.
When the "bell" is stopped at the first stop in the middle and the "bell" is stopped at the second stop on the left, it becomes "bell"-"bell"-"rotating", but "bell"-"bell" -There are three symbol combinations that are "ANY": combination numbers "056", "057", and "088" (see FIG. 7).
On the other hand, when the "bell" is stopped at the middle first stop and the "blank" is stopped at the left second stop, the symbol combination that becomes "blank"-"bell"-"ANY" is the combination number. The four are "055", "077", "078", and "087" (see FIG. 7). Therefore, for the left reel 31, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the effective line is the largest when the "blank" is stopped on the effective line, so the "blank" can be stopped by prioritizing the number. When there is, the blank is stopped, and when the "blank" cannot be stopped, the "bell" is stopped.

In the present embodiment, when the "bell" is stopped at the time of the first middle stop, when the 0th "blank" of the left reel 31 is pressed on the effective line, the "blank" is stopped at the effective line. Otherwise, stop the "bell".
Therefore, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the ratio of the symbols that stop at the effective line is
Bell: 19/20
Blank: 1/20
Will be.

As described above, when "bell"-"bell"-"rotating" or "blank"-"bell"-"rotating" is selected, "bell" is stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped. Let me.
Therefore,
The rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 02 with role number "047") stops is
"19/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 380/8000
Will be.
In addition, the rate at which "blank"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 05 with role number "055") stops is
"1/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 20/8000
Will be.

Next, when "Replay A" is stopped at the first middle stop, when the left reel 31 is stopped, "Blue 7" or "Watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line.
Therefore, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the ratio of the symbols that stop at the effective line is
Blue 7: 5/20
Watermelon A: 15/20
Will be.
Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.

From the above,
The rate at which "Blue 7"-"Replay A"-"Bell" (small role 01 with role number "045") stops is
"5/20" (left) x "7/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 700/8000
Will be.
In addition, the rate at which "Watermelon A"-"Replay A"-"Bell" (small role 01 of role number "046") stops is
"15/20" (left) x "7/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2100/8000
Will be.

In addition, when "Watermelon A", "Watermelon B", or "Cherry" is stopped at the middle first stop, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line and the right reel 31 is stopped. At times, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.
Therefore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Watermelon A / Watermelon B / Cherry"-"Bell" (small role 02 with role number "047") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "12/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 4800/8000
Will be.
Further, as described above, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 02 of the role number "047") is stopped is "380/8000", so that the role number "047" The total value of the rate at which the small role 02 is stopped is
"4800/8000" + "380/8000"
= 5180/8000
Will be.

4.2 At "231" (middle right / left) under the condition of winning ALL during BB operation Next, under the situation of winning ALL during 2BB operation, the reel stop control when the push order is "231" (middle right / left) explain.
The stop control at the time of the middle first stop is the same as that at the time of the push order "213" described above. That is, the ratio of the symbols of the effective line at the time of the first stop in the middle is
Bell: 1/20
Replay A: 7/20
Watermelon A: 4/20
Watermelon B: 2/20
Cherry: 6/20
Will be.

When "Bell" stops at the effective line at the middle first stop, when the right second stop, the 9th "Replay B" is pushed to the lower right, the 9th "Replay B" is right. Stop at the bottom. When the 14th "watermelon A" is pushed to the lower right, the 14th "watermelon A" is stopped at the lower right. When the right stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.
That is, in this case, the ratio of the symbols of the effective line when the right reel 31 is stopped is
Replay B: 1/20
Watermelon A: 1/20
Bell: 18/20
Will be.
Then, in the above case, at the time of the third left stop, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.
Therefore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Bell"-"Replay B" (small role 06 with role number "056") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 20/8000
Will be.
Similarly, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"watermelon A" (small role 06 with role number "057") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "1/20" (right)
= 20/8000
Will be.

In addition, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 02 with role number "047") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "1/20" (middle) x "18/20" (right)
= 360/8000
Will be.

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

In addition, the rate at which other than "bell" or "replay A"("watermelonA","watermelonB", or "cherry") stops at the first middle stop is "12/20".
In this case, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line at the second right stop, and the "bell" is stopped at the effective line at the third left stop.
Therefore, the rate at which "bell"-"ANY (watermelon A / watermelon B / cherry)"-"bell" (small role 02 with role number "047") stops is
"20/20" (left) x "12/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 4800/8000
Will be.
Further, as described above, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 02 of the role number "047") is stopped is "360/8000", so that the role number "047" The total value of the rate at which small role 02 is stopped is
"4800/8000" + "360/8000"
= 5160/8000
Will be.

As described above, at the time of winning ALL during the operation of 2BB, the type of small winning combination and the winning rate differ depending on the order in which the stop switch 42 is pressed. Assuming that the push is not performed, as shown in FIG. 51 (b), when the push order is "213" (middle left and right), the high-pitched small winning combination (13 sheets) has the highest rate of winning. Is "7980/8000".
On the other hand, the ratio of winning the high-ranking small role is the lowest at the time of the first stop on the right, and the ratio is "7520/8000".
Therefore, during the 2BB operation, it is most advantageous for the player to digest the game in the order of pushing the middle left and right (except when pushing the eyes).
In addition, during 2BB operation, even in the push order of middle right and left, it is possible to win a high-ranking small winning combination at a ratio of "7960/8000".
Therefore, as a whole, when the middle reel 31 (the reel whose maximum number of moving symbols is stopped and controlled by one symbol) is set as the first stop reel, the higher and lower winning combination wins than when the other reels 31 are set as the first stop reels. It will be easier to do.

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

The explanation is returned to FIG.
When the reel 31 is stopped, the winning determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line is a symbol combination corresponding to any combination.
Here, the winning determination means 66 does not actually detect whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination has stopped at the effective line.
Specifically, from the condition device operated in the game and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and / or the operation timing of the stop switch 42, a symbol combination that stops the reel 31 on the effective line before actually stopping is set in advance. It is determined, or the symbol combination stopped on the effective line after the reel 31 is stopped is determined in advance.

For example, when the push order is correct when the small winning combination A1 is won, the small winning combination 01 wins with "PB = 1", so when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of left, middle, and right, it is on the effective line that actually stopped. It is determined that the small winning combination 01 has won a prize without determining the symbol combination of.
Further, under the above-mentioned situation of winning ALL during the 2BB game, if the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the operation timing of the stop switch 42 are detected, it is possible to determine the symbol combination on the effective line that has actually stopped. , You can judge which small role won the prize.

When the winning combination is determined by the winning combination 66, the payout means 67 pays out a predetermined number of medals to the player according to the winning combination, or performs processing such as adding credits. It is a thing. In addition, when the replay wins a prize, the number of medals inserted in the game is controlled to be automatically inserted without paying out the medals.

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

In the present embodiment, the RT transition timing is set when the symbol combination is stopped and displayed or when the RT transition combination is won, that is, when all the reels are stopped (when all reels 31 are stopped).
However, the transition from non-RT, RT1, RT2 to RT3 may be performed based on the winning of 1BB, or based on the fact that 1BB did not win in the game that won 1BB. May be good. In the present embodiment, 1BB is won, and when the winning 1BB is not won, the process proceeds to RT3.
The non-internal medium game corresponds to non-RT, RT1 and RT2. In addition, the internal medium game corresponds to RT3.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an RT transition diagram of the present embodiment.
When the RWM53 is initialized, the game is started from non-RT. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the RWM53 is initialized, the RT before the initial stage (before the power is turned off) may be maintained. For example, when the RWM53 is initialized while the 1BB winning is carried over, the 1BB winning is also maintained (carried over) and may be started from RT3.
In the non-RT, when the SB operation symbol is displayed (at the time of SB winning), the game shifts to RT1 from the next game. The same applies when the SB operation symbol is displayed in RT2. Further, in RT1, when 333 games are digested, the game shifts to non-RT. Furthermore, in RT2, when the replay 04 wins, the process shifts to RT1.

Here, the AT of the present embodiment is executed in RT2 in principle, but during AT, when the winning numbers "5" to "7" (replay E group) are won, the push order for winning the replay 02 is notified. Therefore, Replay 04 will not win a prize. If the AT ends in RT2 and the push order for winning the replay 02 is not notified in the games in which the winning numbers "5" to "7" are won, the replay 04 is won with a probability of "2/3". As a result, the transition from RT2 to RT1 (RT fall). In addition, in the game in which the winning numbers "5" to "7" are won during AT, even when the replay 04 wins due to a mistake in the pushing order, the game shifts from RT2 to RT1. In this case, even if it is AT, the replay probability is not high. In the present embodiment, when the player falls to RT1, he / she may not be able to return to RT2 unless he / she wins 1BB or 2BB.

When 1BB is won in the non-internal medium game of non-RT, RT1 and RT2 and 1BB is not won, the RT control means 68 determines that the transition condition of RT is satisfied and becomes RT3 corresponding to the internal medium game. Transition.

In addition, when 1BB wins a game that wins 1BB, the operation of 1BB starts when the game is completely stopped this time, so in this case, RT3 (internal middle game) is not passed.
On the other hand, in non-RT or RT2, when the SB is won and the SB wins, the process proceeds to RT1. Then, the SB game is executed in RT1. It remains RT1 even after the end of the SB game.
Further, the symbol combination of SB is "PB ≠ 1" as shown in FIG. Therefore, if the SB does not win the game in which the SB is won, there is no RT transition.

If you win 1BB and move to RT3, that RT3 will continue until the winning 1BB wins. When the RT control means 68 determines that 1BB has won a prize in RT3, it determines that the transition condition of RT is satisfied, and shifts to 1BBA operation (RBA operation), or 1BBB or 1BBC operation (RBB operation).
When 1BBA is in operation, it is continued until the operation end condition of 1BBA (end condition of 1BBA game) is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the operation end condition of 1BBA is set to pay out more than 264 medals as shown in FIG. 8 (2).
During 1BBA operation, as described above, RBA is continuously operated. The RBA ends when either the winning of the two wins or the two games is satisfied, and after the end, the RBA is operated again on condition that the end condition of the 1BBA operation is not satisfied.

The RT control means 68 determines whether or not more than 264 medals have been paid out during each game and 1BBA operation, and if it is determined that more than 264 medals have been paid out, the termination condition of the 1BBA operation It is determined that the condition is satisfied, and control is performed so as to shift to non-RT from the next game. As shown in FIG. 11, the non-RT of the present embodiment is an RT having a high probability of winning a replay, similar to RT2. In the present embodiment, when 1BBA is won during the non-advantageous section (normal section), it does not shift to the advantageous section (AT) even after the end of the 1BBA game. Therefore, although it does not shift to the advantageous section (AT), by shifting to RT with a high probability of winning the replay, it is possible to wait for the winning of 1BB or 2BB without reducing the medals.
Also, if SB wins during non-RT, it will shift from non-RT to RT1. Therefore, when the SB is won during non-RT, for example, an image of the "!" Mark is displayed on the image display device 23 to indicate that the SB has been won and that the SB winning should be avoided. Output the production. This is the same during AT and RT2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (2), the end condition of the 1BBB or 1BBC operation is set to pay out more than 242 medals.
During the operation of 1BBB and 1BBC, as described above, the RBB is continuously operated. Like RBA, RBB ends when it satisfies either two winning combinations or two games, and after that, RBB again, provided that it does not satisfy the ending conditions of 1BBB or 1BBC operation, respectively. To operate.
The RT control means 68 determines whether or not more than 242 medals have been paid out for each game during the operation of 1BBB or 1BBC, and when it is determined that more than 242 medals have been paid out, 1BBB or 1BBC It is determined that the operation end condition is satisfied, and control is performed so as to shift to RT2 from the next game.

Furthermore, when the 2BB operation symbol is displayed in non-RT, RT1 or RT2 (at the time of 2BB winning), the operation shifts to 2BB (2BBA, 2BBB, 2BBC) operation. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (2), the end condition of the 2BB operation is set to pay out more than one medal or SB operation (here, it means "SB winning"). There is. Then, when the operation end condition of 2BB is satisfied, the process shifts to RT2.

In FIG. 1, the main game state control means 69 executes a process according to the main game state described later (start process) at the start of the game, and also at the end of the game, a process according to the main game state described later (all). (Stop processing) is executed, and when the transition condition of the main game state is satisfied, the main game state is transferred. The main game state control means 69 also controls the start and end of the advantageous section and the start and end of the AT.

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

The main game state 0 is either advantageous section type 0, 1, or 2.
The main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 are in the so-called normal section in which neither the special role nor the advantageous section is won.
The main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 (standby section) is a game state when 1BB or 2BB is won in the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 and the player is inside 1BB or 2BB.
Further, the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 are the main game states corresponding to the 2BB game, in other words, the precursor preparation, in the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, when 2BB is won in the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0 (non-advantageous section), the game shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 (internal middle) at that time. Further, in the present embodiment, when 2BB is won, 2BB is set to always win in the game. Therefore, when the 2BB prize is won, the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 1 shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (advantageous section). That is, when the 2BB is won, the non-advantageous section shifts to the waiting section, and when the 2BB prize is won, the waiting section shifts to the advantageous section.
Then, the 2BB game is executed in the state of the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (preparing for precursors). In addition, the 2BB game looks like a normal game (non-special game) in terms of production. Therefore, the player is not aware that the 2BB game is in progress unless he / she is aware that the 2BB has won the prize. After the end of the 2BB game, the process shifts to the main game state 1 and the advantageous section type 2 (precursor).

The main game states 1, 2, 12 to 16 are all advantageous section types 2.
The main gaming state 1 (advantageous section type 2) is a gaming state in which the main gaming state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (preliminary precursors are being prepared) are shifted, and the gaming states correspond to the precursors. This precursor has a main precursor (when shifting to AT later) and a fake (gaze) precursor (when later shifting to a normal section without shifting to AT). When the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 2 (2BB operation is in progress) satisfy the end condition of the 2BB operation, the process shifts to the main game state 1. Further, when 1BBB or 1BBC is won in the main game state 0, 1BBB or 1BBC is in operation (shifts to the main game state 13), and the operation end condition of 1BBB or 1BBC is satisfied (the CZ rank described later becomes "". (Unless it is "4"), it shifts to the main game state 1.

Here, as shown in FIG. 19, after the operation of 2BB is completed and after the operation of 1BBB or 1BBC is completed, the process shifts to RT2 (high probability replay state). Then, when executing AT, it stays at this RT2. Therefore, when the state shifts to the main game state 1, the correct answer pressing order for staying in RT2 is notified when the condition device of the replay E is activated until the end condition of the main game state 1 is satisfied. However, even if the condition device of the small winning combination A is activated, the correct answer pressing order is not notified. Then, when the end condition of the main game state 1 is satisfied, the game shifts to the main game state 0 at the time of the sign of the gaze, and shifts to the main game state 2 at the time of the sign of the present. The main game state 2 is the main game state corresponding to AT.
When the state shifts to the main game state 0, the correct answer pressing order is not notified when the condition devices of the replay E and the small winning combination A are activated thereafter. On the other hand, when the state shifts to the main game state 2, in addition to the replay E after that, the correct answer pressing order is notified even when the condition device of the small winning combination A is activated.

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

In the present embodiment, as a general rule, one set of 40 games is used during AT, but an additional lottery is executed during 40 games, and when the additional lottery is won, the AT is executed for the set exceeding 40 games. .. The number of games to be added when the winning number is won will be described in the flowchart described later. In the present embodiment, the number of additional games is determined by lottery from "0", "10", "30", and "50" according to the winning number.

The main game state 16 is a game state in which AT (including 1BB operation) is continued until 1500 games, which is the maximum number of continuous games in the advantageous section, are reached. That is, once the transition to the main gaming state 16 is performed, the main gaming state 16 remains even during the operation of 1BBA to 1BBC (there is no transition to the main gaming state 14 or 15 described later). Further, when the main game state 16 is entered, the additional lottery is not executed.
When the advantageous section clear counter reaches "0" (the number of games in the advantageous section is "1500") in the main game state 16, it is determined that the end conditions of AT and the advantageous section are satisfied, and the main game state 16 is set. It ends and shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0.

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

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

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

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

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

The main game state 12 is the main game state after 1BB is won during the advantageous section and the operation of the 1BB is completed. After the end of 1BBA (1BB with setting difference) operation and after the end of 1BBB or 1BBC (1BB without setting difference) operation, the same main game state 12 is entered.
The main game state 12 is one game in the present embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of games may be set. In the main game state 12, a specific process related to AT is executed. In the present embodiment, the main game state 2 or 16 is set in the main game state 12. Specifically, the value of the talk counter when shifting to the main game state 12 is determined, the main game state 16 is set when the talk counter is 22, and the talk counter is less than 22 (“0””. (Including when), the main game state 2 is set. As a result, in the next game of the main game state 12, the main game state 2 or 16 will be set.

Further, when 1BB is won in the main game state 2, the game shifts to the main game state 14 or 15, and then shifts to the main game state 12, the talk counter is set to "+1" and the state management counter is set to "40". It is set (FIG. 47 described later).
Here, for example, when the story counter = "5" and the number of remaining games is "20" in the AT of the set, 1BB is won, and when the 1BB operation is completed and the game returns to the main game state 2, the story counter = Resume 1 set AT40 game at "6". That is, when 1BB is won in the middle of 40 games of 1 set AT, the AT set with the number of episodes is stopped at that time, and the episode counter is set to "+1" by operating 1BB. Then, when the player returns to the main game state 2, one set AT40 game is started again.
If 1BB is won when the story counter is "21" or more, the story counter becomes "22" in the main game state 12 (the battle end process described later) after the end of 1BB, and the main game state 12 starts from the main game state 12. It shifts to the game state 16.

As described above, during the advantageous section, when 1BB (1BBB or 1BBC) without a setting difference or 1BB (1BBA) with a setting difference is in operation, the main game state 12 is entered after the BB operation is completed. To do. Then, in the main game state 12, the talk counter is set to "+1", the state management counter is set to "40", and the main game state 2 or 16 is set, so that the AT is set or re-set from the next game. Can be set.
Therefore, in the non-advantageous section (normal section), when 1BB (1BBA) with a setting difference is won and 1BBA operation is in progress, the interval does not shift to the advantageous section and AT after the 1BBA operation is completed. On the other hand, in the advantageous section, when 1BB (1BBA) with a setting difference is won and 1BBA is in operation, AT is set or reset after 1BBA operation is completed.

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

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

The "main game state" is data for determining the current main game state, and if the main game state is 0, "0" is stored, and if the main game state is 2, "2" is stored.
The "advantageous section clear counter" is data for counting the number of games played in the advantageous section, is "0" in the non-advantageous section, and is "1500" (initial value) at the start of the advantageous section when shifting to the advantageous section. ) Is set. Then, "1" is subtracted each time one game is digested (decrement counter). When the advantageous section clear counter becomes "0", it is determined that the maximum number of continuous games in the advantageous section has been reached, and the advantageous section is terminated.

When the advantageous section clear counter is composed of an increment counter, each game, "1" is added during the advantageous section, and when the advantageous section clear counter becomes "1500", the maximum number of games in the advantageous section is reached. Is determined to have reached, the advantageous section is terminated, and the advantageous section clear counter is cleared (set to "0").
The "CZ (chance zone) rank" is a value indicating whether or not to shift to AT and its advantage (continuation rate) when shifting to AT. When the CZ rank is "0", it indicates the AT non-winning state, and when it is "1" or more, it indicates the AT winning state. Further, the larger the value of the CZ rank, the higher the AT continuation rate (probability of winning the continuous lottery at the end of one set AT in the main game state 2) is set.

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

Further, in the main game state 2, "40" is set when starting one set of AT, and "1" is subtracted for each game. When the lottery for adding the number of games is won during AT, the number of winning games is added to the state management counter. Then, when the state management counter becomes "0" in the main game state 2, the AT of the set is terminated and the continuous lottery is executed.
The "talk counter" is data (increment counter) corresponding to the number of AT sets, is "0" before shifting to the main gaming state 2, and is "1" when shifting to the main gaming state 2. Become. Then, when the AT of 40 games per set is executed and the AT continuation lottery is won, the story counter becomes "+1", and the AT of 40 games per set is executed again. Further, when 1BB is won during the advantageous section and the game shifts to the main game state 12, the talk counter becomes "+1".
On the other hand, when the AT continuation lottery is not won, the story counter is cleared and the game shifts to the main game state 0 and the advantageous section type 0.
When the story counter reaches "22", it is determined that the condition for transition from the main game state 2 to the main game state 16 is satisfied, and the game shifts to the main game state 16. Then, the talk counter "22" is maintained until the end of AT (advantageous section).

The "continuation counter" is data indicating whether or not to continue AT, and is "0" before deciding whether or not to continue AT, "1" when it is decided not to continue AT, and AT. When it is decided to continue, the value of "2" is stored. At the end of one set AT40 game in the main game state 2, the value of the continuation counter is read to determine whether or not to continue AT.
The "upper limit rank" is data for determining whether or not to execute AT (advantageous section) up to the "1500" game, which is the maximum number of continuous games, and when it is determined to execute up to the maximum number of continuous games, "7". ", And other than that," 0 "is memorized. During AT, it is decided by lottery whether or not to set this upper limit rank to "7".

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

The control command transmitting means 71 transmits information (control command) necessary for the effect output by the sub control board 80 to the sub control board 80.
The control command includes, for example, a first control command and a second control command. Both the first control command and the second control command are, for example, 8-bit 1-byte data. Then, one control command is a pair of the first control command and the second control command. For example, the first control command may be set in the data indicating the type of the control command, and the second control command may be set in the data indicating the parameter (variable).

For example, in the case of a control command indicating RT, the first control command is "33 (H)" (00110011 (B)) in this embodiment. Further, when the RT parameter is, for example, RT1, it is "00000001 (B)" in the present embodiment. Therefore, the 2-byte data "0010011/00000001"("/" indicates between the first control command and the second control command, which is not actually present), which is a combination of these, is the RT control command. Is transmitted from the main control board 50 to the sub control board 80.
The push order instruction number (only when the push order is notified), the effect group number, and the accessory condition device number are also transmitted in the same manner as in the above RT. Further, also in this case, the first control command is the type data, and the second control command is the data stored in the RWM 53.

The control command transmitting means 71 does not transmit the winning and replay condition device numbers to the sub control board 80. For example, when winning numbers "8" to "13" (small wins A1 to A6) are won, there is a risk that the correct answer pressing order will be known based on the winning and replay condition device numbers due to fraudulent acts. On the other hand, regarding the accessory condition device number, there is no risk of fraudulent activity as described above. Therefore, for example, when 1BBA is won, the accessory condition device number "1" (00000001 (B)) is transmitted to the sub-control board 80.

In FIG. 1, the sub CPU 85 of the sub control board 80 includes the effect output control means 91.
As described above, the effect output control means 91 is based on the control commands transmitted from the main control board 50, specifically, each control command such as the push order instruction number, the effect group number, and the accessory condition device number. Then, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what kind of effect is output (how the lamp 21 is turned on, blinks, or turned off, the speaker 22). The specific content of the effect, such as what kind of sound is output from the computer and what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, is determined by lottery.

Then, the effect output control means 91 controls the output of the effect lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 according to the determination. In addition, during 1BB operation or AT, the number of acquired cards, the number of games (the number of remaining games or the number of digested games), and the like are displayed as images. Further, during AT, when the instruction function is activated, the correct answer pressing order is notified (image display). For example, when a small winning combination A1 is won in a game during AT and a control command corresponding to a push order instruction number is received, a player such as "123" or "left middle right" which is the correct push order. Notifies the contents that can easily know the correct answer pressing order. FIG. 3 shows an example in which "123" and the pressing order are displayed as an image.

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

As described above, in the main game state 13 (1BB is operating without setting difference), the CZ rank addition lottery is performed (provided that the CZ rank is not "4"), but the effect output control means 91 is in the main game state. In 13, it is possible to output an effect suggesting the presence / absence of the CZ rank addition lottery, the lottery result, and the like.
Further, in the main game state 1 (during the precursor), the effect output control means 91 can output an effect suggesting whether or not the AT has been won (CZ rank). Further, in the main game state 1, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game, so that the effect output control means 91 produces an effect suggesting the presence / absence of the CZ rank addition lottery, the lottery result, and the like. Output is possible.

Furthermore, in the main game state 2 (AT), the additional lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game, so that the effect output control means 91 determines the presence or absence of the additional lottery and the lottery result in the main game state 2. It is possible to output an effect that suggests such things. Further, in the main game state 2, since the continuous lottery is executed in the game at the end of one set AT, the effect output control means 91 can output an effect suggesting the continuous lottery result.
Further, in the main game state 14 (1BB game related to 1BB with no setting difference won during the advantageous section), the additional lottery is executed based on the condition device operated in the game, so that the effect output control means 91 is the main. In the game state 14, it is possible to output an effect suggesting the presence / absence of an additional lottery, the lottery result, and the like.

On the other hand, in the main game state 15 (1BB game related to 1BB with a setting difference won during the advantageous section), the additional lottery as in the main game state 14 is not executed, so that the effect output control means 91 is in the main game state. At 15, the effect related to the additional lottery is not output. For example, the effect output control means 91 outputs an effect such as displaying an image of an appearance character, an introduction of a story, or the like in the main game state 15. However, after the end of the main game state 15, the state shifts to the main game state 2 or 16 (AT) via the main game state 12, so that an effect indicating that the state shifts to the AT after the end of the main game state 15 is displayed. It can be output.

Further, the main game state 16 is a main game state in which it is confirmed that the AT is executed until the advantageous section reaches the maximum number of continuous games, and the lottery regarding the continuation of the AT and the addition of the number of games is not executed. Therefore, in the main game state 16, the effect output control means 91 does not output an effect related to the continuation of the AT, the addition of the number of games, or the like (the effect related to the notification game (AT)) even if the rare small winning combination is won.
Here, the "directing related to the notification game (AT)" includes a suggestion production and a notification production regarding the winning and continuation of the notification game (AT), and a suggestion production and a notification production regarding the addition of the number of AT games. For example, the notification game. The production of the explanation of (AT) itself is not included.
Further, even if 1BB is won in the main game state 16 and the 1BB game is executed, the main game state 16 is maintained. Therefore, although it is possible to output the effect that the 1BB game is currently in progress, the effect related to the additional lottery output in the main game state 14 is not output.

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

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

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the main process in the present embodiment.
The main process of FIG. 22 mainly lists the minimum processes that need to be explained in the present embodiment, and omits the medal acceptance process, the reel stop control process, the payout process, and the like. It does not mean that the processing of is not executed.
In FIG. 22, in step S11, start control is performed. This process is executed when a predetermined number of medals of the game are bet and the start switch 41 is operated. For example, the reel control means 65 executes a process such as starting rotation of the reel 31.
Next, the process proceeds to step S12, and the winning combination lottery means 61 draws a winning number. In the next step S13, the advantageous section transition process is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 23, which will be described later, and is a process of performing a CZ rank lottery and setting (memorizing) the lottery result when the BB is won in the game.
Next, the process proceeds to step S14, and the advantageous section type management start processing is executed. This process is a process shown in FIG. 24, which will be described later, and is a process for setting push order instruction numbers and the like.

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

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

FIG. 23A is a flowchart showing the advantageous section transition process in step S13 in FIG. 22.
In FIG. 23A, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section type is “0”. This determination is made by determining whether or not the value of the advantageous section type of RWM53 shown in FIG. 21 is “0”. When it is determined that the advantageous section type is "0", the process proceeds to step S32, and when it is determined that the advantageous section type is not "0", the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
Here, in this flowchart, when the advantageous section type is "0", it is determined whether or not the condition for setting the advantageous section type to "1" is satisfied, and when it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the advantageous section is determined. Is set to "1".

In the next step S32, it is determined whether or not the special role has been won in the game. When a special role is won in the game, a value other than "0" is stored in the character condition device number in the storage area of the RWM53, so that the value stored in this storage area is other than "0". Determine if it exists. When it is determined that the special role has been won, the process proceeds to step S33, and when it is determined that the special role has not been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.
In step S33, it is determined whether or not the winning special combination is either 1BBB, 1BBC, or 2BB. When the accessory condition device number is "2" to "6", it is determined that one of these special roles has been won. When it is determined that one of 1BBB, 1BBC, or 2BB has been won, the process proceeds to step S34, and when it is determined that no one has been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.
Then, in step S34, "1" is set for the advantageous section type. As a result, the game section becomes a standby section.

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

In the next step S36, the CZ rank determined in step S35 is stored in the RWM53 (FIG. 21). Next, the process proceeds to step S37, and it is determined whether or not the CZ rank is “0”. If the CZ rank is "0", the process proceeds to step S38, and if it is not "0", the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S38, "5" is set in the state management counter. The state management counter "5" set here is the number of precursor games. For example, when "5" is set in the state management counter based on the winning of 2BB, it means that 5 games are executed in the main game state 1 after the end of the 2BB game. However, there are cases where the AT is won during the sign of Gaze. When the state management counter is set to "5" based on the winning of 1BBB or 1BBC, the initial value of the state management counter in the main game state 13 (1BB game without setting difference) becomes "5". In the main game state 13, as shown in step S224 of FIG. 35, which will be described later, a precursor counter addition lottery (lottery for adding the number of precursor games) is executed, and when this lottery is won, the winning value (precursor game) is set in the state management counter. Number of times) is added. After step S38, the process according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a process at the start of advantageous section type management in step S14 in FIG. 22.
First, in step S51, the instruction number set process is executed. This process is the process shown in FIG. 26, and is a process of setting a push order instruction number according to the winning number.
In the next step S52, branching of the advantageous section type is executed. Here, the advantageous section type at this point is determined, and when the advantageous section type is "0", "1", or "3", the processing according to this flowchart is terminated, and the advantageous section type is "2". Then, the process proceeds to step S53.
In step S53, the advantageous section type 2 start processing is executed. This process is the process shown in FIG. 27, and executes the start-time process corresponding to the main game state. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type management total stop processing in step S17 in FIG. 22.
First, in step S61, the advantageous section type 3 branch is executed. The current advantageous section type is determined, and when the advantageous section type is "0", the process proceeds to step S64, when the advantageous section type is "2", the process proceeds to step S62, and the advantageous section type is "1" or If it is "3", the process proceeds to step S63.
In step S64, the advantageous section clear counter management process is executed. This process is the process shown in FIG. 30, and is for executing the update process of the advantageous section clear counter and the like.

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

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the instruction number setting process in step S51 of FIG. 24.
First, in step S71, the instruction number "0" is set. This process is a process of clearing the storage area of the RWM 53 that stores the instruction number.
In the next step S72, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section clear counter is not "0". When it is determined that it is not "0" (that is, when it is in the advantageous section), the process proceeds to step S73, and when it is determined that it is "0", the process according to this flowchart ends. Therefore, the instruction number set process is executed only during the advantageous interval.

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

In step S74, a lottery of instruction numbers is performed. Here, any one of the instruction numbers "A1" and "A2" is selected. Here, the relationship between the instruction number and the push order is as follows.
A1: Left, middle, right (displays the push order "= 1")
A2: Middle left and right (press order "= 2" is displayed)
A3: Middle left and right (press order "= 3" is displayed)
A4: Middle right left (press order "= 4" is displayed)
A5: Right and left middle (press order "= 5" is displayed)
A6: Right, middle, left (displays the push order "= 6")
In the present embodiment, only the stop switch 42 of the first stop is determined as the correct pressing order when the replays E1 to E3 are operated. Therefore, for example, the correct answer pressing order when the replay E1 is activated is the left first stop. Further, in the present embodiment, only 6 choices are defined as the push order instruction number. Therefore, when the replays E1 to E3 are activated, one of the six selection push orders that match the correct push order is selected by lottery. For example, when the replay E1 is activated, any one of "A1" and "A2" is selected. Further, since "A1" to "A6" are hexadecimal numbers, for example, "A1" becomes "10100001 (B)", and this value is stored in the storage area of the push order instruction number of the RWM53. Further, in the present embodiment, the segment lighting pattern corresponding to "A" is "=". Therefore, when the push order instruction number "A1" is selected, "= 1" is displayed on the acquired number display LED 78.

As described above, when the replay E1 is activated, any one of "A1" and "A2" is selected (step S74), and the selected push order instruction number is stored in the RWM53 (step S77). Similarly, when the replay E2 is activated, any one of "A3" and "A4" is selected (step S75), and the selected push order instruction number is stored in the RWM53 (step S78). Similarly, when the replay E3 is activated, any one of "A5" and "A6" is selected (step S76), and the selected push order instruction number is stored in the RWM53 (step S79). After the above processing, the processing according to this flowchart is completed.

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

In step S82, seven branches of the condition device are executed. When the winning numbers "8" to "13" are won in the game and the small winning combinations A1 to A6 of the condition device are activated, the process proceeds to steps S83 to 88, respectively. On the other hand, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated except when the small combinations A1 to A6 are operating.
When it is determined in step S82 that the small winning combination A1 is operating, the process proceeds to step S83, the instruction number "A1" is set, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.
When it is determined in step S82 that the small winning combination A2 is operating, the process proceeds to step S84, the instruction number "A2" is set, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.

Similarly, when it is determined in step S82 that the small winning combination A3 is operating, the process proceeds to step S85, the instruction number "A3" is set, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.
When it is determined in step S82 that the small winning combination A4 is operating, the process proceeds to step S86, the instruction number "A4" is set, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.
Further, similarly, when it is determined in step S82 that the small winning combination A5 is operating, the process proceeds to step S87, the instruction number "A5" is set, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.
When it is determined in step S82 that the small winning combination A6 is operating, the process proceeds to step S88, the instruction number "A6" is set, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.

By the above processing, if the advantageous section clear counter is not "0" (when it is in the advantageous section), the correct answer pressing order is notified when the replay E group is won.
In addition, when the advantageous section type is "3" (inside 1BB in the advantageous section) or when the main game state exceeds "1" (during AT), the correct answer pressing order is notified when the small winning combination A group is won. To do.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type 2 start processing in step S53 in FIG. 24.
In FIG. 27, in step S101, it is determined whether or not 1BB is not won. When it is determined that 1BB has not been won, the process proceeds to step S102, and when it is determined that 1BB has been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S102, 7 branches are executed according to the current main game state. The reason for controlling in this way is that the start processing differs depending on the main game state.
First, when the main game state is 0, the process proceeds to step S103, and the CZ rank addition lottery process is executed. Here, the case where the main gaming state is 0 in the advantageous section type 2, that is, in the advantageous section corresponds to the case during the 2BB game as shown in FIG. In the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery process is executed based on the activated condition device. As described above, when 2BB is won, the CZ rank is "0" (FIG. 23 (b)). Then, when the game shifts to the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery process is executed. This process is the process shown in FIG. 31, which will be described later, and is a substantial AT lottery. After the CZ rank addition lottery process, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

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

If it is determined in step S102 that the main game state is 13, the process proceeds to step S107, and the main game state 13 start process (FIG. 35 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S102 that the main game state is 14, the process proceeds to step S108, and the process at the start of the main game state 14 (FIG. 37 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S102 that the main game state is neither 0, 1, 2, 12, 13, or 14 (thus, the main game state 15 or 16), the process according to this flowchart is terminated. To do.
The above-mentioned start-time processing for each main game state is a process for executing a lottery or the like according to each game state.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section type 2 total stop processing in step S62 in FIG. 25.
First, in step S121, it is determined whether or not 1BB is not won. When it is determined that 1BB has not been won, the process proceeds to step S124. On the other hand, when it is determined that 1BB has been won, the process proceeds to step S122. In step S122, the advantageous section type "3" is set. That is, it is an advantageous section type indicating the inside of 1BB in the advantageous section. Next, the process proceeds to step S123, and the special combination symbol display process is executed. This process is the process shown in FIG. 29, and is a process of determining whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination has stopped at the effective line, and setting the main game state accordingly. Then, after this processing, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S124, eight branches are executed according to the main game state. This is because the processing when all reels 31 are stopped differs depending on each main gaming state. First, when it is determined in step S124 that the main game state is 0, the process proceeds to step S125, and the main game state 0 total stop process (FIG. 38 (a) described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the main game state is 1, the process proceeds to step S126, and the main game state 1 total stop process (FIG. 39 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the main game state 2 is set, the process proceeds to step S127, and the main game state 2 total stop process (FIG. 40 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the main game state is 12, the process proceeds to step S128, and the main game state 12 total stop process (FIG. 41 described later) is executed.

If it is determined in step S124 that the main game state is 13, the process proceeds to step S129, and the main game state 13 all stop process (FIG. 42 (a) described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the main game state is 14, the process proceeds to step S130, and the main game state 14 total stop process (FIG. 43 described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that the main game state is 15, the process proceeds to step S131, and the main game state 15 total stop process (FIG. 44, which will be described later) is executed. Similarly, when it is determined in step S124 that neither of the main game states 0 to 2 and 12 to 15 (thus, the main game state 16), the process according to this flowchart ends.

As described above, after executing the total stop processing according to each game state, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, in the advantageous section type 2 (during the advantageous section), the start process and the total stop process for each game state are executed.
When the main game state 16 is set, the lottery related to AT (additional lottery, etc.) is not executed, so that the start time process and the total stop process peculiar to the main game state 16 are not performed.

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the special combination symbol display processing in step S63 of FIG. 25 and step S123 of FIG. 28. The "special role" in this flowchart refers to a special role (1BB and 2BB) excluding SB.
First, in step S141, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination has stopped at the effective line (whether the special combination has won a prize) in the game. When it is determined that the special role has won a prize, the process proceeds to step S142, and when it is determined that the special role has not won a prize, the process according to this flowchart ends.

In step S142, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB is hidden. When it is determined that the symbol combination of 2BB is not displayed (2BB has not won a prize), the process proceeds to step S143, and when it is determined that the symbol combination of 2BB is not hidden (2BB has won a prize), the process proceeds to step S149. ..
In step S143, it is determined whether or not the main game state is 16. If it is determined that the main game state is not 16, the process proceeds to step S144, and if it is determined that the main game state is 16, the process proceeds to step S149.

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

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

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the advantageous section clear counter management process in step S64 in FIG. 25.
First, in step S164, the advantageous section clear counter is subtracted by "1". This process is a process of subtracting "1" from the advantageous section clear counter value stored in the RWM 53. Next, the process proceeds to step S162, and it is determined whether or not the advantageous section clear counter before subtraction in step S161 is “0”. If it is determined to be "0", the process proceeds to step S163, and if it is determined that the value is not "0", the process proceeds to step S165.
Here, the value before subtraction of the advantageous section clear counter is "0", which means that it is not in the advantageous section.

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

On the other hand, in step S162, it is determined that the advantageous section clear counter before subtraction is not "0", and when the process proceeds to step S165, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section clear counter after subtraction is "0". Here, "0" is determined when the number of games played in the advantageous section reaches "1500", that is, the number of continuous upper limit games in the advantageous section is reached. When it is determined that the advantageous section clear counter after subtraction is "0", the process proceeds to step S166, and when it is determined that it is not "0", the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S166, all the parameters related to the advantageous section are cleared. Of the data stored in the RWM 53, for example, all the parameters shown in FIG. 21 are set to "0". As a result, the advantageous section type becomes "0", and the main game state also becomes "0". As a result, from the next game, as shown in FIG. 20, the game state shifts to the advantageous section type 0 (non-advantageous section) and the main game state 0. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed. At the time of step S166, the advantageous section clear counter is already "0", so it is not necessary to clear it. However, for example, when the batch clear process is more efficient, the process is again performed in step S166. The advantageous section clear counter may be cleared.

FIG. 31 (a) is a flowchart showing a CZ rank addition lottery. In addition to step S103 in FIG. 27, the CZ rank addition lottery is also performed in step S182 of FIG. 32 (main game state 1 start processing) described later and step S222 of FIG. 35 (main game state 13 start processing) described later. Will be executed.
Further, FIG. 31B is a diagram showing a condition device and a mathematical table in the CZ rank addition lottery process.
In FIG. 31A, in step S171, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery condition device has been activated. Here, the "AT lottery condition device" corresponds to a condition device (winning number subject to the CZ rank addition lottery) that is the target of the CZ rank addition lottery.

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

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

If the replay D is won in two consecutive games during the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery 1 can be received twice. Then, the total value of the two times is added to the CZ rank. The upper limit of the CZ rank is "4" in this embodiment. Therefore, when the CZ rank is already "4", the lottery result is not added even if the CZ rank addition lottery is executed. However, not limited to this, when the CZ rank becomes "4", the CZ rank addition lottery is not executed even if the execution condition of the CZ rank addition lottery is satisfied (even if the AT lottery condition device is activated). You may.
Next, the process proceeds to step S173, and the value corresponding to the lottery result is added to the CZ rank of RWMZ53. For example, when the CZ rank up to that point is "1" and the CZ rank addition lottery in the game is won "1", the CZ rank of the RWM53 is updated to "2". Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the main game state 1 start processing in step S104 of FIG. 27. As shown in FIG. 20, the main game state 1 corresponds to the precursor of the advantageous section type 2.
First, in step S181, the state management counter is subtracted by "1". The state management counter here counts the number of precursory games, and a predetermined value is set when shifting to the main game state 1. Then, in the main game state 1, "1" is subtracted from the state management counter for each game. Next, the process proceeds to step S182, and the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the conditional device operated in the game.

Since the CZ rank addition lottery here is in the omen, it corresponds to "CZ rank addition lottery 2" in FIG. 31 (b). When the condition device of 2BB, small winning combination C, small winning combination D, or small winning combination E is activated in the game, the value to be added to the CZ rank is determined by the number shown in FIG. 31 (b). In addition, the CZ rank addition lottery is not executed except when these condition devices are activated. When 2BB is won, the CZ addition lottery may not be executed, but as shown in FIG. 31B, a lottery in which "0" is selected with a 100% probability may be executed. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

FIG. 33A is a flowchart showing the main game state 2 start processing in step S105 in FIG. 27. Further, FIG. 33B is a diagram showing a number table for each condition device at the time of the additional lottery.
In FIG. 33A, first, in step S191, it is determined whether or not the value of the state management counter is “0”. The main game state 2 is in AT, and when one set of AT is started, "40" is stored in the state management counter. Then, during AT, the state management counter is subtracted by "1" for each game. When the state management counter becomes "0", it is determined that the end condition of one set AT is satisfied.

When it is determined that the state management counter is not "0" and the process proceeds to step S192, the value of the state management counter is subtracted by "1". Next, the process proceeds to step S193, and it is determined whether or not the additional target condition device has been activated in the game. Here, the "addition target condition device" in this flowchart refers to a condition device that enables the addition of the number of games of one set AT40 game.
FIG. 33B shows a condition device to be added and a number table thereof. The additional target condition devices are replays D and SB during 2BB and 2BB games, small role C (strong cherry), small role D (weak cherry), small role E (watermelon A), and small role H (small) during 1BB games. The role ALL), the small role I (weak rare in BB), and the small role J (strong rare in BB).

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

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S191 that the state management counter is "0" and the process proceeds to step S195, the continuous lottery process is executed. The continuous lottery process is a lottery for whether or not to execute the next set (40 games) of AT, and is executed according to the winning probability shown in the flowchart of FIG. 45 and the number table of FIG. 46, which will be described later.
In the next step S196, it is determined whether or not the continuous lottery has been won. Here, when the continuous lottery result is "0", it is determined that the player has not won, and when the continuous lottery result is "1", it is determined that the player has won. When it is determined that the continuous lottery has been won, the process proceeds to step S199, and "2" is stored in the continuation counter of the RWM53. The continuation counter "2" means AT continuation, and the continuation counter "1" means AT discontinuation (end). Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

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

When it is determined in step S197 that the upper limit rank is "7", the advantageous section is executed up to the number of continuous upper limit games (1500 games), so the process proceeds to step S199 and the continuation counter is set to "2". That is, even if the lottery is not won, if the upper limit rank is "7", AT is continued.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S197 that the upper limit rank is not "7", the process proceeds to step S198, and "1" (AT non-continuation) is stored in the continuation counter. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

FIG. 34A is a flowchart showing the main game state 2 start processing in step S106 in FIG. 27. FIG. 34 (b) is a diagram showing a number table of the upper limit rank lottery in step S213 in FIG. 34 (a).
In FIG. 34A, first, in step S211 it is determined whether or not the upper limit rank is “7”. This is because the lottery for the upper limit rank is not performed when the upper limit rank is already "7". When it is determined that the upper limit rank is "7", the process according to this flowchart is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the upper limit rank is not "7", the process proceeds to step S212.

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

Then, when the process proceeds to step S213, the lottery of the upper limit rank is executed.
As shown in FIG. 34 (b), the upper limit rank lottery is executed based on the value of the CZ rank in the game. For example, when the CZ rank is "0", the upper limit rank may not be won. On the other hand, for example, when the CZ rank is "4", the upper limit rank is won with a probability of "32/256".

Then, the process proceeds to step S214, and it is determined whether or not the upper limit rank has been won. If it is determined that the upper limit rank has been won, the process proceeds to step S215, and if the upper limit rank has not been won, the process according to this flowchart ends.
In step S215 (when the upper limit rank is won), "7" is stored in the storage area of the upper limit rank of RWM53. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the processing at the start of the main game state 13 in step S107 of FIG. 27. The main game state 13 corresponds to 1BB operation (game) without a setting difference. Then, the process of FIG. 35 executes the CZ rank addition and the lottery of the number of precursory games in the main game state 13.
First, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the CZ rank is "4". When it is determined that the CZ rank is "4", the process according to this flowchart is terminated. This is because when the CZ rank is already the highest value "4", the CZ rank addition lottery or the like is not executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the CZ rank is not "4", the process proceeds to step S222.

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

In step S224, the precursor counter addition lottery 1 to 4 is performed.
Here, the "precursor counter addition lottery" is a lottery for whether or not to add the number of precursor games, and the number of winning precursor games is added to the current number of precursor games. The precursor counter addition lottery will be described later.
Next, the process proceeds to step S225, and the lottery result of step S224, that is, the number of winning precursor games (the number of precursor games to be added) is added to the state management counter. For example, when the state management counter before step S224 is "5" and "1" is won in the lottery in step S224, the process of updating the state management counter to "6" is executed in step S225.

Next, the process proceeds to step S226, and it is determined whether or not the state management counter is "15" or higher. In the present embodiment, when the state management counter becomes "15" or more, it is assumed that the AT with the highest continuation rate is won. When it is determined that the state management counter is "15" or more, the process proceeds to step S227, and when it is determined that the state management counter is not "15" or more, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S227, "4" is set in the CZ rank. Specifically, when the CZ rank up to that point is other than "4", it is rewritten to "4". Next, the process proceeds to step S228, and "0" is set in the state management counter. In this way, when the CZ rank "4", which has the highest AT continuation rate, is reached, the state management is performed in order to shift to the main game state 2 (AT) without performing the precursor (main game state 1). The process of setting the counter (the number of precursor games) to "0" is executed. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

As can be seen from the process of FIG. 35, when the CZ rank reaches the maximum value "4", the CZ rank addition lottery is not executed. Further, regardless of the current CZ rank, when the state management counter becomes "15", "4" is set as the CZ rank. Therefore, even if the current CZ rank is "0" (AT not won), the state management counter may be set to "15" and the CZ rank may be set to "4".

As described above, in the main game state 13 (during 1BB game with no setting difference), the CZ rank addition lottery is executed on the condition that the CZ rank is not "4" for each game, and the state management counter is not "0". On the condition that the sign counter addition lottery is executed.
Further, in the main game state 13, the AT winning expectation degree is displayed on the image display device 23 based on the precursor counter value.
The image display device 23 shown in FIG. 3 displays a meter. The meters are divided into 0 to 15, and the higher the AT winning expectation, the larger the number of meters is controlled. Therefore, the main control board 50 transmits the state management counter value to the sub control board 80 every game. The sub-control board 80 determines the number of meters and the color thereof based on the state management counter value, and displays an image.

When shifting to the main game state 13, for example, in the initial stage, an effect of raising the meter for each game (regardless of the state management counter value) is output. For example, raise the meter even when the small role H (small role ALL) is won. Then, basically, the meter is raised so that "state management counter value = number of meters". In addition, as the meter rises, the color of the meter is controlled to change in the order of "white->blue->yellow->green->red-> rainbow (at CZ rank" 4 ")".
When the status management counter becomes "15" (in FIG. 35, when "Yes" in step S226), the CZ rank = "4" is fixed (the AT has the highest continuation rate). The number of meters of the image display device 23 is "15" (MAX), the meter color is rainbow, and the CZ rank is "4" (the AT winning with the highest continuation rate). Notify the player.

As shown in FIG. 42A, which will be described later, a lottery (precursor correction lottery) in which the state management counter is subtracted at the end of 1BB operation, that is, at the final game of the main game state 13, is performed as a total stop process of the main game state 13. ) Is executed (when the state management counter ≠ "0"). In the present embodiment, the longer the number of precursory games is, the higher the expectation of winning the AT is set. However, the smaller the number of precursory games, the smaller the player's medal consumption (the game in which the number of medals decreases during the precursory game). (Because it is in a state), the number of precursor games is shortened by lottery. Even when the number of precursor games is shortened, the number of meters is not reduced.

Then, when the main game state 13 is ended and the game shifts to the main game state 1 (precursor), an effect that raises the AT winning expectation is output according to each game and the number of meters.
Here, as shown in FIG. 32, the CZ rank addition lottery process is performed even in the main game state 1. Then, for example, the CZ rank was "0" when shifting to the main game state 1, but when the CZ rank becomes "1" or more by the CZ rank addition lottery during the game of the main game state 1, the meter The final effect is changed from the AT non-winning effect to the AT winning effect by adding numbers.

FIG. 36 is a diagram showing a number table of precursor counter addition lottery 1 to 4 executed in step S224 of FIG. 35. The precursor counter addition lottery includes four types of precursor counter addition lottery 1 to 4, depending on the current CZ rank and the state management counter value. Then, the number of additions is determined according to the condition device that operates in the game.
For example, when the CZ rank is "0" and the state management counter is less than "10", the precursor counter addition lottery 1 is executed. In this case, for example, when the winning number "21" is won in the game and the condition device of the small winning combination I (BB medium weak rare) is activated, "1" is selected with a probability of "240/256" and "1" is selected. "2" will be selected with a probability of "16/256".

In the main game state 13 (during 1BBB or 1BBC game), winning numbers "20" (small winning combination H) to "22" (small winning combination J) are drawn, but the winning probability is low (high rarity). The larger the number of additions, the easier it is to select. Further, when the state management counter value is less than "10" than "10" or more, a larger number of additions is easily selected.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing a process at the start of the main game state 14 in step S108 of FIG. 27. The main game state 14 corresponds to a 1BB (1BBB or 1BBC) game with no setting difference won during the advantageous section.
In the main game state 14, at the start of each game and the game, the additional lottery shown in step S241 is performed. This lottery is the same as step S194 in FIG. 33 (a), and is executed based on the number table shown in FIG. 33 (b). In the 1BBB or 1BBC game, as shown in FIG. 16, lottery of winning numbers "20" (small winning combination H) to "22" (small winning combination J) is performed, so that the condition device corresponding to the winning number is operated. At that time, the lottery for adding the number of AT games is executed. For example, when the small winning combination J is won, "30" is selected with a winning probability of "85/256", and "50" is selected with a winning probability of "85/256". Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed. As a result, in the main game state 14, an additional lottery for each game and the number of AT games is executed.

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

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

First, in step S251, it is determined whether or not the 2BB operation is completed. Since the end condition of the 2BB operation is the payout of more than one medal, when any of the small wins is won in the game, the operation end condition of the 2BB is satisfied. On the other hand, when the condition device of the replay C or D is activated in the game and the replay 05 wins a prize, it is determined that the operation end condition of 2BB is not satisfied because the medal is not paid out in the game.
When it is determined that the operation end condition of 2BB is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S252, and when the operation end condition of 2BB is not satisfied, the process according to this flowchart is ended.

In step S252, a lottery for the precursor counter (number of precursor games) is executed. As shown in FIG. 38 (b), the precursor counter lottery is determined according to whether or not the CZ rank is "0". The expected value of the precursor counter when the CZ rank is "0" is about "8.6", and the expected value of the precursor counter when the CZ rank is "1" or more is about "11.0". Is. Therefore, when the AT is won, the expected value of the number of precursory games is larger than when the AT is not won.

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

FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the main game state 1 total stop process in step S126 of FIG. 28.
First, in step S261, it is determined whether or not the state management counter is "0". When the state management counter is "0", the process proceeds to step S262, and when it is not "0", the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S262, it is determined whether or not the CZ rank is "0". When it is determined that the CZ rank is "0", the process proceeds to step S263, and when it is determined that the CZ rank is not "0", the process proceeds to step S264.

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

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

Further, when it is determined in step S266 that 2BB is not in operation (2BB is in operation), the process proceeds to step S267 to determine whether or not to end the 2BB operation in the game. For example, when more than one medal is paid out in the game, it is determined that the operation of 2BB has ended. When it is determined that the operation of 2BB is finished, the process proceeds to step S268 to clear various parameters related to the advantageous section, and the process according to this flowchart is finished. On the other hand, in step S267, when it is determined that the operation of 2BB is not terminated in the game, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing a main game state 2 total stop process in step S127 of FIG. 28.
First, in step S281, the three-branch process is executed according to the continuation counter value. When the continuation counter is "0", the process according to this flowchart is terminated, when the continuation counter is "1" (AT non-continuation), the process proceeds to step S282, and the continuation counter is "2" (AT continuation). Then, the process proceeds to step S283.

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

Then, in the next step S285, it is determined whether or not the upper limit rank has been won. When it is determined that the upper limit rank has been won, the process proceeds to step S286, and when it is determined that the upper limit rank has not been won, the process proceeds to step S287.
In step S286, "7" is set in the upper limit rank. Then, the process proceeds to step S287.
The battle end process of step S287 is the process shown in FIG. 47, and is a process of updating the talk counter and the main game state at the end of one set of ATs. After this battle end process, the process according to this flowchart ends.

FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing a total stop process of the main game state 12 in step S128 in FIG. 28.
In this process, the battle end process is executed in step S291, and the process according to this flowchart is completed.
As described above, the main game state 12 is a main game state consisting of one game to be executed after the end of the main game state 14 or 15 (1BB game). In the all-stop process of the main game state 12, the battle end process is executed in the same manner as in step S287 of FIG. 40. By this process, the talk counter is set to "+1". Therefore, when 1BB is won in the middle of the main game state 2 (AT), the game shifts to the main game state 14 or 15, and then the 1BB game ends and the game shifts to the main game state 12, the talk counter is updated. To. In addition, the main game status is also updated.
Further, in the battle end process, except for the case of shifting to the main game state 16, the effect of shifting to the main game state 2, that is, the AT (AT introduction effect) and the like are output.

FIG. 42A is a flowchart showing a total stop process of the main gaming state 13 in step S129 in FIG. 28. Further, FIG. 42 (b) is a diagram showing a number table in the precursor correction lottery in step S307 of FIG. 42 (a).
As shown in FIG. 20, the main gaming state 13 is the main gaming state when the 1BB with no setting difference is won in the non-advantageous section and the 1BB operation is started (advantageous section type 2).
In FIG. 42 (a), first, in step S301, it is determined whether or not the 1BB operation is completed. When it is determined that the operation of 1BB has not been completed, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. When it is determined that the operation of 1BB is completed, the process proceeds to step S302. That is, the processing after step S302 is the processing in the 1BB operation end game (the final game in the main game state 13).

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

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S304 that the state management counter is not "0", the process proceeds to step S307. In step S307, the precursor correction lottery is executed.
Here, the "precursor correction lottery" is a lottery in which the number of precursor games at the present time is subtracted. For example, when the number of precursor games at the present time is "10" and "2" is won in the precursor correction lottery, the number of precursor games is updated to "10-2 = 8".
The precursor correction lottery is executed with the number shown in FIG. 42 (b). The expected value of the correction value (decrease value) of the number of precursor games based on this number is about "1.3".

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

As described above, in the final game of the main game state 13 (1BBB or 1BBC game), it is determined that the CZ rank is "1" or higher, that is, the transition to AT is determined, and the state management is the number of precursory games of this precursor. When the counter is not "0", a lottery for shortening the number of precursor games is executed. As a result, since the number of precursor games is randomly changed, it is possible to make it difficult to estimate the AT notification timing (precursor end timing).
When the CZ counter is "0" and the game shifts to the fake precursor, the number of precursor games is not shortened.

Further, in the main game state 13, the precursor counter addition lottery was executed as the start processing (FIG. 35), and the precursor correction lottery was executed as the total stop processing. If the number of precursor games is determined in this way, the number of precursor games will be more diversified, and it will be difficult to estimate whether or not an AT has been won from the number of precursor games.

FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the main game state 14 total stop processing in step S130 of FIG. 28.
In FIG. 43, in step S321, it is determined whether or not the 1BB operation is completed. When it is determined that the 1BB operation is completed, the process proceeds to step S322, and when it is determined that the 1BB operation is not completed, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S322, the main game state 12 is set. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.
Therefore, since the main game state 12 is set in the final game of the main game state 14, the next game will be the game in the main game state 12.

FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing the main game state 15 all-stop processing in step S131 of FIG. 28.
In FIG. 44, in step S331, it is determined whether or not the 1BB operation is completed. When it is determined that the 1BB operation is completed, the process proceeds to step S332, and when it is determined that the 1BB operation is not completed, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S332, the main game state 12 is set. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.
Therefore, since the main game state 12 is set in the final game of the main game state 15, the next game will be the game in the main game state 12.

FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing a continuous lottery process (continuous lottery process executed in the final game of one set AT) in step S195 of FIG. 33. Further, FIG. 46 is a diagram showing a number table when the individual continuous lottery and the common continuous lottery in the continuous lottery process are executed.
First, in step S341, the comparison value A is set to "0". The comparison value A and the comparison value B described later are stored in a predetermined area of the RWM 53 or stored in a predetermined register.
Next, the process proceeds to step S442, and it is determined whether or not the condition device subject to the individual continuous lottery has been activated. Here, as shown in FIG. 46, the condition devices subject to the individual continuous lottery are 2BB, SB, small winning combination A, small winning combination B, small winning combination C, small winning combination D, small winning combination E, and during the 2BB game. Replay D and SB. When it is determined that these condition devices have been activated, the process proceeds to step S343, and when it is determined that these condition devices have not been activated, the process proceeds to step S345.

In step 343, an individual continuous lottery is performed. This individual continuous lottery is executed with the winning probability of the number table shown in FIG. 46 according to the operating condition device. For example, when the small winning combination A is won, the probability of winning "1" is "32/256". Next, the process proceeds to step S344, and the individual lottery result is stored in the comparison value A. For example, when "1" is won in step S344, "1" is stored in the comparison value A.

In the next step S345, a common continuous lottery is executed. The common continuous lottery is a continuous lottery regardless of the operating condition device, and is executed based on the CZ rank as shown in FIG. 46. For example, when the CZ rank in the game is "2", the probability of winning "1" is "154/256". Next, the process proceeds to step S346, and the common lottery result is stored in the comparison value B. As a result, the individual continuous lottery result is stored in the comparison value A, and the common continuous lottery result is stored in the comparison value B.

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

By the above processing, when the individual continuous lottery result (comparison value A) based on the conditional device is larger than the common continuous lottery result (comparison value B) not based on the conditional device, the comparison value A is selected as the continuous lottery result. To. On the other hand, when the individual continuous lottery result (comparison value A) based on the conditional device is equal to or less than the common continuous lottery result (comparative value B) not based on the conditional device, the comparison value B is selected as the continuous lottery result.
Therefore, even if the condition device does not operate (even if the winning number corresponding to the condition device on which the individual continuous lottery is executed is not won), the continuous lottery is executed. Further, when the condition device for executing the individual continuous lottery is activated, the individual continuous lottery is executed in addition to the common continuous lottery. When the result of the individual continuous lottery is less than or equal to the common continuous lottery result, the common continuous lottery result is selected, so that there is no disadvantage due to the execution of the individual continuous lottery. Further, when the condition device for executing the individual continuous lottery is activated and the individual continuous lottery is executed, the final continuous lottery result will not be less than the common lottery result.
Therefore, if the individual continuous lottery is executed, it will be more advantageous to the player, and even if the individual lottery result is not executed, it will not be disadvantageous to the player.
Then, when the continuous lottery result stored (selected) in the continuous lottery process is "0", it is determined that the player has not won in step S196 of FIG. 33, and when the continuous lottery result is "1", FIG. 33 In step S196 of the above, it is determined that the player has won.

FIG. 47 is a flowchart showing the battle end process in step S287 of FIG. 40 or step S291 of FIG. 41.
First, in step S361, the talk counter is added by "1". Next, the process proceeds to step S362, and it is determined whether or not the talk counter has reached "22". When it is determined that the talk counter is "22", the process proceeds to step S363, and when it is determined that the talk counter has not reached "22", the process proceeds to step S364.
In step S363, "16" is set as the main game state. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

On the other hand, in step S364, "2" is set as the main game state. Until then, when the main game state 2 is set, the main game state 2 is maintained. Next, the process proceeds to step S365, and "40" is set in the state management counter. This value corresponds to the initial value of the number of games played in one set AT. Next, the process proceeds to step S366, and "0" is set in the continuation counter. This is a process of clearing the continuation counter to "0" before the start of the 1-set AT. Then, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

Next, the relationship between the ending effect, AT, and 1BB operation and the effect will be described.
It should be noted that during the output of the ending effect, the advantageous section and the AT are in progress.
48 to 50 are time charts for explaining the contents of the effect during AT and BB game, and show patterns 0 (FIG. 48) to 5 (FIG. 50).
Further, in FIGS. 48 to 50, BB1 indicates BB with a setting difference, and corresponds to 1BBA of the present embodiment. Further, BB2 indicates BB without setting difference, and corresponds to 1BBB and 1BBC of the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, when the talk counter reaches "22" and the game shifts to the main game state 16, the remaining number of games in the AT (advantageous section) is "88" (advantageous section clear counter = "88"). When it becomes, the ending effect is output. This ending effect is output with priority over the effect during the 1BB game.
Further, as the production during the 1BB game, a BB1 production and a BB2 production are provided.
The BB1 production corresponds to the production during 1BBA (1BB with setting difference) game, and is a production when the additional production of the number of AT games is not executed. Display images to be explained.
On the other hand, the BB2 effect is an effect capable of executing an additional effect of the number of AT games, and corresponds to an effect during a 1BBB or 1BBC (1BB with no setting difference) game. For example, when the condition device to be added is operated, an image is displayed such as whether or not it is added, and the number of additions when it is added.

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

Pattern 1 of FIG. 48 shows an example in which BB2 (BB without setting difference) was won during the ending effect, but the BB2 game based on BB2 continues in the advantageous section and after the end of AT. When the BB2 is won during the ending effect, the player is notified of the fact that the BB2 has been won and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning BB2 in the same manner as described above. Then, even if the BB2 game is started, the ending effect is continued.

The ending effect continues until the number of games in the advantageous section is "1500" (advantageous section clear counter = "0"), and after the end of the AT and the advantageous section (after the end of the ending effect), the game is switched to the BB1 game effect. Here, even if the BB2 is won during the ending effect, the additional lottery or the like is not executed during the BB2 game, so the BB1 game effect is output.
Then, the AT end effect is executed just before the end of the BB1 game effect (BB2 game). Although AT has already ended at this point, the AT end effect is not executed during the BB2 game, which is the end of the ending effect, and at the end of the BB1 game effect (at the end of the BB2 game). Since it is preferable to execute the AT end effect as the flow of the effect, the effect is controlled as in pattern 1.

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

When the player notices that the BB2 is won during the ending production, the player is not intentionally awarded the BB2 until the end of the ending production, and the player is awarded the BB2 after the ending production (advantageous section and AT). It is not preferable that an advantageous lottery or the like is executed.
Therefore, when the game that won BB2 is in the ending production, the lottery related to AT is not performed. On the other hand, if the BB2 is won during the normal section after the ending effect is completed, it goes without saying that the section shifts to the advantageous section again.
In the example of pattern 2, the BB1 game effect is switched to the AT end effect in the final game of the BB2 game or a few games just before the end. Furthermore, when the BB2 game is completed, the next game is switched to the normal production.

Pattern 3 of FIG. 49 shows an example when the number of games in the advantageous section reaches the continuous upper limit number of games (1500 games) without outputting the ending effect (before the number of talk counter = “22”). There is. For example, when the number of games added during AT is large, the number of games in the advantageous section may reach "1500" before the talk counter reaches "22".
In pattern 3, BB2 is won before the advantageous section clear counter becomes "0", and the number of games in the advantageous section reaches "1500" during the BB2 game. In this way, when the ending effect is not in progress, the BB2 game effect is output when the game shifts to the BB2 game based on the winning of the BB2. However, since the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is small, the lottery for adding the number of AT games is not executed during the BB2 game. As the control of such an example, for example, it is possible to determine the advantageous section clear counter at the start of the BB2 game, and if it is equal to or less than the predetermined value, control so as not to execute the additional lottery for the number of AT games in the BB2 game. Can be mentioned.

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

Pattern 4 in FIG. 50 is an example in which BB2 is won during the AT and advantageous section, but BB2 wins after the end of the AT and advantageous section, and the BB2 game is executed. As described above, BB2 was won during AT, but even if the BB2 is won and the BB2 game is executed after the end of AT, the lottery related to AT is not executed in the BB2 game. Therefore, during the BB2 game, the BB1 game effect is executed.
Further, in the example of the pattern 4, BB2 is won during the AT, the BB2 winning confirmation effect is output within the game or a few games thereof, and the AT is terminated during the BB2 winning confirmation effect. In such a case, the BB2 winning confirmation effect is output until BB2 wins, and when BB2 wins, the BB1 game effect is switched to. Further, the AT end effect is output before the final game of the BB2 game or several games thereof. Then, when the BB2 game is completed, the next game is switched to the normal production. By doing so, it is possible to output the AT end effect without making the continuity of the effect unnatural.

Pattern 5 in FIG. 50 is a diagram showing an example when BB2 is won in the main game state 16 and the game shifts to the BB2 game. In the present embodiment, after shifting to the main gaming state 16, the main gaming state is not changed and the main gaming state 16 is maintained no matter which 1BB is won. In this case, when the BB2 is won and the BB2 game is executed, the BB1 game effect is executed as the effect corresponding to the BB2 game. In the main game state 16, since it is confirmed that the game is executed up to 1500 games, which is the maximum number of continuous games in the advantageous section (and AT), the number of AT games is not added and the BB2 game effect is not output.
Further, when the BB2 game is completed, the AT production is switched to again. Then, when the output condition of the ending effect is satisfied, the process is switched to the ending effect.
When switching from the AT effect to the ending effect, the ending introduction effect may be output for one to several games.

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

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

In the next step S384, a continuous lottery is executed. Here, the lottery based on the number table is executed according to the lottery number. For example, when the small winning combination C is operating, the lottery number is "3", so a lottery to select "1" with a probability of "256/256" is executed. Further, when the condition device is not in operation in the game, the probability of "1" ("224/256" is "1" based on the lottery number "1" set in step S381. Execute a lottery to select "0"). Then, the process proceeds to step S385, and the continuous lottery result (“0” or “1”) is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RWM 53.

If the continuous lottery is performed as described above, the continuous lottery (common continuous lottery) can be received even in the game that is not when the specific condition device is activated (for example, the game that is not won in the role), and the continuous lottery can be won. It will be possible. Further, in the game when the specific condition device is activated, the continuous lottery can be received under more advantageous conditions than the game when the specific condition device is not activated.
Then, since the continuous lottery result determined by the lottery can be immediately stored in the RWM53 without comparing the continuous lottery result as in the first embodiment, the program can be simplified and the processing time can be shortened. Can be done.

<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 53 is a diagram showing a small winning combination winning control during 2BB operation in the third embodiment, FIG. 53A is a symbol combination of small winning combination 01 to 02 in the third embodiment, and FIG. 53B is a push. It is a figure which shows the winning ratio of the small winning combination for each order.
Note that, in FIG. 53, only the minimum small winning combination for explaining the control during 2BB operation is shown, but the other small winning combination and replay of the third embodiment are set to be different from those of the first embodiment. ..
In the first embodiment, under the situation of the winning ALL during the operation of 2BB, either the high-pitched small winning combination (13 cards) or the low-sized small winning combination (12 cards) is won at "PB = 1". .. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the small winning combination that can be won during the 2BB operation is the small winning combination 01 or 02, and each of them is 13. Then, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so as to have a case where the small winning combination 01 or 02 is missed.

First, in the push order 123 (left middle right), when the left first stop, "watermelon A" is given the first priority, and when "watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, the second priority is " Stop the "bell" at the effective line. The rate at which "Watermelon A" or "Bell" stops at the effective line at the first left stop is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
Is.

At the time of a middle stop after the first left stop, "Watermelon A" is controlled to stop at the effective line. In the first embodiment, when the bitter of the 14th "watermelon A" of the middle reel 31 is pushed, the 15th "watermelon B" is controlled to stop at the effective line, but in the third embodiment, it is controlled. Since there is no small role in the small wins 01 and 02 where the design of the middle reel 31 is "watermelon B", when the 14th "watermelon A" of the middle reel 31 is pushed, this "watermelon" Stop "A" at the effective line.
If "Watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, either "Bell" or "Cherry" is stopped at the effective line.

From the above, the stop symbol on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped after the left first stop is
No. 1 Vita: Bell (No. 1)
No. 2 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 3 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 4 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 5 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 6 Vita: Bell (No. 6)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 9 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 10 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 11 Vita: Bell (No. 11)
No. 12 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 13 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 14 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 14)
No. 15 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
16th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 17 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 18 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 19 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
No. 0 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
Will be.

Therefore, the ratio of symbols that stop at the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped after the first left stop is
Watermelon A: 9/20
Bell: 5/20
Cherry: 6/20
Will be.
Further, when the vehicle is stopped on the right after the first stop on the left, "Watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line when "Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A"-"Rotating".
The percentage in this case is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
Will be.
On the other hand, when it is not the stop type (watermelon A)-"watermelon A"-"rotating" (tempai type of small winning combination 02), the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.
The percentage in this case is
Bell: 20/20
Is.

From the above, the rate at which "Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A" (small role 02 with role number "049") stops at the effective line when the push order is 123 (left, middle, right)
"15/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 2025/8000
Will be.
In addition, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 01 with role number "045") stops at the effective line is
"5/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 500/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Watermelon A"-"Bell" (small role 01 of role number "046") stops at the effective line is
"5/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 900/8000
Will be.

Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"cherry"-"bell" (small role 01 of role number "047") stops at the effective line is
"5/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 600/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, when the role is missed, firstly, in the case of "watermelon A"-"watermelon A"-"rotating", when the right reel 31 is stopped, "watermelon A" cannot be stopped. So
"15/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 675/8000
Will be.

Further, when the combination is missed, secondly, in the case of "watermelon A"-"rotating"-"rotating", when the middle reel 31 is stopped, "watermelon A" cannot be stopped. So
"15/20" (left) x "11/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 3300/8000
Will be.
Therefore,
"675/8000" + "3300/8000"
= 3975/8000
Will be.
Therefore, when the push order is 123 o'clock, it is dropped at a rate of about half.
Further, the above reel control is the same when the pushing order is 132 (middle left and right), and the winning ratio and the missing ratio of each small winning combination are the same as when the pushing order is 123.

Next, in the push order 213 (middle left and right), when the middle first stop, "watermelon A" is given the first priority, and when "watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, "watermelon A" is given the second priority. Stop "Bell", "Cherry" or "Replay A" at the active line. Here, at the time of the first middle stop, "Watermelon A" can be stopped at the effective line only when the bitter is pressed.

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

When the "watermelon A" can be stopped at the effective line at the time of the first middle stop, the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are also controlled so that the "watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line. Then, when the "watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, the "bell" is controlled to be stopped at the effective line.
After stopping "Watermelon A" on the effective line at the first stop in the middle, the ratio at which "Watermelon A" can be stopped at the effective line when the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped is all.
Watermelon A: 15/20
Is.
If the "watermelon A" cannot be stopped, the "bell" is stopped (ratio "5/20").

Further, when the "watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line at the time of the first middle stop, the "bell" is controlled to be stopped at the effective line when the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped. ..
In this case, the percentage at which the "bell" can be stopped at the effective line is
Bell: 20/20
Is.
Further, after the left and middle reels 31 are stopped, at the time of the third right stop, if a small winning combination can be won, the symbol combination of the winning small winning combination is controlled to stop at the effective line.
From the above, the rate at which "Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A" stops at the effective line in the push order 213 (middle left and right) is
"15/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 1125/8000
Will be.

Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 01 with role number "045") stops at the effective line is
"20/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2000/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"watermelon A"-"bell" (small role 01 of role number "046") stops at the effective line is
"5/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 500/8000
Will be.

In addition, the rate at which "bell"-"cherry"-"bell" (small role 01 of role number "047") stops at the effective line is
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 2400/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Replay A"-"Bell" (small role 01 with role number "048") stops at the effective line is
"20/20" (left) x "4/20" (middle) x "20/20" (right)
= 1600/8000
Will be.

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

Next, in the push order 321 (right middle left), when the right first stop, "watermelon A" is given the first priority, and when "watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, it is given the second priority. Stop the "bell" at the active line. Therefore, the rate at which "Watermelon A" or "Bell" stops at the effective line at the first left stop is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
Is.

After the "watermelon A" is stopped at the first right stop, the "watermelon A" is controlled to stop at the effective line at the second middle stop. Similar to the first stop on the left, "Watermelon A" can be stopped only when the bitter is pushed or one symbol is moved, and when "Watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, "Bell" or "Cherry" Stop any of the above on the active line.
From the above, the stop symbol on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped after the first right stop (watermelon A) is
No. 1 Vita: Bell (No. 1)
No. 2 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 3 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 3)
No. 4 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 5 Vita: Cherry (No. 5)
No. 6 Vita: Bell (No. 6)
No. 7 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 8 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 8)
No. 9 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 10 Vita: Cherry (No. 10)
No. 11 Vita: Bell (No. 11)
No. 12 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 13 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 13)
No. 14 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 14)
No. 15 Vita: Bell (No. 16)
16th Vita: Bell (16th)
No. 17 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 18 Vita: Watermelon A (No. 18)
No. 19 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
No. 0 Vita: Cherry (No. 0)
Will be.
Therefore, the percentage of symbols that stop at the effective line is
Watermelon A: 9/20
Bell: 5/20
Cherry: 6/20
Will be.

Further, when the left stop is performed after the first right stop, the "watermelon A" is stopped at the effective line, and when the "watermelon A" cannot be stopped at the effective line, the "bell" is stopped at the effective line.
The percentage in this case is
Watermelon A: 15/20
Bell: 5/20
Is.
If the "rotating"-"watermelon A"-"watermelon A" is not in the stop type (tempai type of small winning combination 02), the "bell" is stopped at the effective line. The percentage in this case is
Bell: 20/20
Is.

From the above, the rate at which "Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A"-"Watermelon A" stops at the effective line in the push order 321 (right, middle, left) is
"15/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 2025/8000
Will be.
In addition, the rate at which "bell"-"bell"-"bell" (small role 01 with role number "045") stops at the effective line is
"20/20" (left) x "5/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 500/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, the rate at which "Bell"-"Watermelon A"-"Bell" (small role 01 of role number "046") stops at the effective line is
"20/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 900/8000
Will be.

Furthermore, the rate at which "bell"-"cherry"-"bell" (small role 01 of role number "047") stops at the effective line is
"20/20" (left) x "6/20" (middle) x "5/20" (right)
= 600/8000
Will be.
Furthermore, when the role is missed, the first is when "watermelon A" cannot be stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped in the case of "rotating"-"watermelon A"-"watermelon A". So
"5/20" (left) x "9/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 675/8000
Will be.

Further, when the combination is missed, secondly, in the case of "rotating"-"rotating"-"watermelon A", when the middle reel 31 is stopped, "watermelon A" cannot be stopped. So
"20/20" (left) x "11/20" (middle) x "15/20" (right)
= 3300/8000
Will be.
Therefore, the percentage of missed roles is
"675/8000" + "3300/8000"
= 3975/8000
Will be.
Therefore, when the push order is 321 o'clock, it is dropped at a rate of about half.
Further, the above reel control is the same in the push order 312 (right and left), and the winning ratio and the missing ratio of each small winning combination are the same as in the push order 321.

From the above, in the third embodiment, there is a case where a small winning combination is missed (no payout) at a predetermined rate at the time of winning ALL during 2BB operation.
In addition, at the time of the first stop on the left or right, the small winning combination is dropped at a rate of about half, but at the time of the first stop at the middle, the small winning combination is missed only at the rate of "375/8000".
Therefore, it is most advantageous for the player to digest the game at the middle first stop during at least 2BB operation. Furthermore, if the push is accurate, 13 cards can be surely won, and the role will not be missed.
It should be noted that also in the first embodiment, it is the same that the pressing order of the middle left and right is the most advantageous to the player, and that 13 sheets can be reliably won if the pressing is accurate.

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

FIG. 54 is a diagram showing the number of places at the time of the CZ rank addition lottery at the end of the 2BB game in the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of games played during the 2BB game. As shown in FIG. 54, the larger the total number of 2BB games, the easier it is to win a CZ rank addition lottery of "1" or higher, and the easier it is to win a higher CZ rank.
In the first embodiment, the CZ rank lottery was performed only when the condition device of Replay D or SB was activated during the 2BB game. Therefore, for example, when the replay C is activated, although the condition device can be expected for the CZ rank addition lottery for the next game, the CZ rank addition lottery cannot be received.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, when the condition device of the replay C is activated, the number of games of the 2BB game increases, which is more advantageous for the CZ rank addition lottery. For example, in 2BB games, if the replay C condition device is activated for 4 games in a row, even if the replay D condition device is never activated, "3" or more (AT winning) is confirmed in the CZ rank addition lottery. To do.

In the first embodiment, since the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the operation of the condition device in the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed when the replay D having no setting difference is operated, and the replay having the setting difference is executed. When C was activated, the CZ rank addition lottery process was not executed.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, since the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of games of the 2BB game, even if the condition device of the replay C is activated during the 2BB game, the CZ rank addition lottery is advantageous. Become.
Therefore, the winning number "3" (replay C) has a setting difference, and the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability is set. Therefore, the higher the setting, the easier it is for the 2BB game to continue. That is, the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability of the CZ rank addition lottery (lottery related to AT).
Here, in the fourth embodiment, the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of 2BB games, but for example, only the number of operations of the condition device of replay C, only the number of operations of the condition device of replay D, or The CZ rank addition lottery may be executed based on the total number of operations of the condition devices of the replays C and D (the CZ rank addition lottery may not be executed only by the winning ALL).

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

Further, in the 2BB game, when the CZ rank addition lottery is executed based on the total number of operations of the condition devices of replay C and D, the number of operations of the condition device of replay C and the number of operations of the condition device of replay D So, instead of simply calculating the total, for example, the total may be calculated so as to give preferential treatment to the number of times the condition device of the replay D is operated.
Specifically, when the number of operations of the condition device of replay C is x and the number of operations of the condition device of replay D is y,
"X + 2xy"
May be calculated, and the CZ rank addition lottery may be executed with the number shown in FIG. 54 as the total number of games.

Further, the CZ rank addition lottery is not limited to the execution of the CZ rank addition lottery only at the end of the 2BB game, and the CZ rank addition lottery may be executed for each game based on the number table of FIG. 54.
For example, in the first game, a lottery is performed with the number of "total number of games 1" in FIG. 54, and when the second game is executed, the lottery is performed with the number of "total number of games 2". Do. Then, at the end of the 2BB operation, the total value in the CZ rank addition lottery may be set to the CZ rank (when the CZ rank exceeds "4", it is set to "4").
In addition, when each game lottery is performed and "1" or more is won in the CZ rank addition lottery (when the AT is won), the stock of the number of AT sets, the lottery for adding the number of AT games, and the sub It is also possible to switch to the bonus lottery and additional special zone.

Further, in the first embodiment, the end condition of the 2BB game is set to acquire more than one medal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, it may be set to acquire the number of small wins that can be won at least a plurality of times. In this case, the CZ rank addition lottery (lottery related to AT) can be executed based on the total number of 2BB games, the number of consecutive replays, the cumulative number of replays, and the like.
On the other hand, if the 2BB game can be completed in one game and the 2BB game is set to be completed in a small number of games as in the first embodiment, it is possible to make the setting determination difficult.

<Processing at irregular stop>
Subsequently, a process will be described when the symbol combination assumed on the main control board 50 does not stop at the effective line (at the time of irregular stop) during the stop control of the reel 31.
The reel control means 65 of the main control board 50 drives and controls the motor (stepping motor) 32 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the combinations stops at the effective line based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. , The reel 31 is stopped at a predetermined position. Therefore, normally, the stop position of the reel 31 is always stopped at a predetermined position.
However, first, for example, during stop control of the reel 31, for example, after detecting the operation of the stop switch 42, before stopping the reel 31 at the final position, specifically, during deceleration of the reel 31. When a power failure occurs in, the power supply for driving the motor 32 is not supplied, and the power supply to the motor 32 may be cut off before the reel 31 is stopped. In such a case, even if the reel control means 65 controls to stop the reel 31 at a correct position, the correct stop control may not be performed until the end, and the reel 31 may not stop at a predetermined position.

Secondly, when the reel control means 65 detects the operation of the stop switch 42, the reels 31 are stopped within the range where the maximum number of moving symbols is within 4 symbols except for the middle reel 31 during the 2BB operation, and the 2BB operation is in progress. For the middle reel 31, the reel 31 is stopped within the range where the maximum number of moving symbols is within one symbol.
Further, as described above, the reel 31 may be stopped bitterly.
On the other hand, when the motor 32 is started (started to rotate) or stopped, a slight delay or advance occurs in the motor shaft. This amount varies depending on the pulse speed, but if the pulse speed is high, the motor 32 cannot follow the pulse speed, and there is a risk of step-out. As a result, the reel 31 may not be stopped at a predetermined position.
In addition, the reel 31 may not stop at a predetermined position due to a failure or malfunction of the motor 32 or the reel 31.

However, when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is normally stopped on the effective line due to the above-mentioned power failure, step-out of the motor 32, etc., the symbol combination does not stop, and the appearance is apparent. It is disadvantageous for the player if the stop position is determined and the medal corresponding to the winning combination is not paid out even if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination does not stop at the effective line.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is operated based on the winning combination and the stop position determination table (further, the pressing order of the stop switch 42), the stop position (design) of the reel 31 corresponding to the operation timing is operated. Number) is determined internally and stored. Here, the reel control means 65 drives and controls the motor 32 so that the reel 31 stops at the determined (stored) position.
Then, after all the reels 31 have stopped, the symbol combination (from the internally determined stop position) that will be stopped (apparently) on the effective line based on the stored stop position (symbol number) of the reel 31. Winning judgment is made using the specified symbol combination). In other words, the symbol combination is determined based on the reel 31 that is actually stopped, and the winning determination is not performed.
Then, as a result of the above-mentioned winning determination, in the game in which the small winning combination wins, the medal corresponding to the small winning combination is paid out. In addition, in the game in which the replay wins, the replay is given (automatic bet processing), and in the game in which the special role wins, the special game is set and the special game is started. For games that do not win a prize, medals are not paid out, re-games are given, and special games are not started.

For example, when the winning number "1" is won, the condition device of the replay A is activated in the game. In this case, when the last stop switch 42 is operated (at the operation timing when the symbol corresponding to the replay 01 can be stopped), the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 is actually displayed on the effective line after all the reels 31 are stopped. Winning judgment is made using internal data without judging or confirming whether or not it has stopped. When the last stop switch 42 is operated, it is assumed that the replay 01 has won a prize even if the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 is not stopped, and the medals are automatically inserted after all the reels 31 are stopped. To.
Similarly, for example, when the winning number "8" is won in the game and the condition device of the small winning combination A1 is activated in the game, the player operates the stop switch 42 in the pressing order of "left middle right". When the last right stop switch 42 is operated (at the operation timing when the symbol corresponding to the small winning combination 01 can be stopped), the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 01 is actually displayed on the effective line after all the reels 31 are stopped. Winning judgment is made using internal data without judging or confirming whether or not it has stopped. When the right stop switch 42 is operated, it is assumed that the small winning combination 01 has won a prize even if the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 01 is not stopped, and after all the reels 31 are stopped, 11 medals (non-role). (At the time of operation) Execute medal payout.

In this way, even if an irregular stop occurs, medals will be paid out corresponding to the winning combination and automatic medals will be inserted (when the replay is activated) without causing any disadvantage to the player. And the game can be played smoothly.
Further, when, for example, 1BB is won in the game, 1BB can be won in the game, and the stop switch 42 is operated at the timing when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning 1BB is stopped at the effective line by the player. Internally, when the last stop switch 42 is operated, without determining or confirming whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB actually stopped on the effective line after all the reels 31 were stopped. Winning judgment is made using the data. When the last stop switch 42 is operated, it is assumed that 1BB has won a prize even if the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB does not seem to be stopped, and 1BB is operated after all reels 31 are stopped.
Further, for example, in the game in which the winning number "17" is won, when the last stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing in which none of the symbol combinations corresponding to the small winning combination 15 or 16 can be stopped (in other words, in other words). When the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing in which the small winning combination 15 or 16 is not won, even if the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 15 or 16 actually stops at the effective line after all the reels 31 are stopped. , It is assumed that neither role has won a prize, and the medal is not paid out.
Although the final stop operation (third stop operation) has been described above as an example, even if an irregular stop occurs during the first stop operation or the second stop operation, the appearance is the same as above. Instead, the winning judgment is made based on the internal data.

Further, as a result of determining the winning based on the internal data, when it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination has stopped at the effective line, the winning effect of the winning combination (depending on the production lamp 21) is performed after all the reels 31 are stopped. When lighting at the time of winning, winning sound and payout sound from the speaker 22, winning effect by the image display device 23, etc.) causes irregularity and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination does not stop at the effective line. Even so, the effect can internally inform the player that the winning has been established.
Furthermore, in the final game when the character is activated, irregularity is generated by performing a freeze effect (making the operation switch not accepted for a certain period of time) or an effect notifying the end of the character operation. Even if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination does not stop at the effective line, the player can be notified of the end of the winning combination operation.

Further, in a game in which the replay is not won in the game, the 3-bet switch (max bet switch) 40b may be turned on after the game is completed. For example, even if the replay is not won in the game, but the above-mentioned irregularity occurs and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay stops at the effective line, the 3-bet switch (max bet) By turning on the switch) 40b, it is possible to notify the player that betting is possible, that is, that the game is not automatically bet (it is not a winning of the replay).

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned contents, and various modifications such as the following are possible.
(1) In the present embodiment, after the end of the main game state 14 or 15, the player shifts to the main game state 12 for executing one game, and in this main game state 12, the set of the main game state 2 (or 16) or The state management counter "40" was set (the battle end process of FIG. 47).
However, not limited to this, these processes are executed as all stop processing of the final games of the main game states 14 and 15, and the main game is directly performed from the main game state 14 or 15 without providing the main game state 12. The transition to state 2 or 16 may be made.

However, if the main game state 12 is provided, the AT introduction effect and the AT start effect can be output during the game in the main game state 12.
When the main game state 12 is provided as in the first embodiment, the game is not limited to one game, and a plurality of games may be executed in the main game state 12.
If it is possible to execute the process related to the main game state 12 or the main game state 2 or 16 that shifts thereafter at the start of the main game states 14 or 15, the process is executed at the start of the main game states 14 or 15. You may.

(2) In the continuous lottery process of FIG. 45, the individual continuous lottery corresponding to the comparison value A was executed only when the condition device having no setting difference was operated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the individual continuous lottery corresponding to the comparison value A may be executed including the operation of the condition device having a setting difference. In this case, in FIG. 45, step S341 is eliminated, and for example, when a condition device having a setting difference is operated, there is a 100% probability that "comparison value A = 0" (that is, operation of the condition device having a setting difference). At that time, it is possible to execute an individual continuous lottery in which the number is "0"). By doing so, it is possible to eliminate the process of determining whether or not the condition device has no setting difference when the condition device is operating, so that the processing load can be reduced.

Similarly, in the second embodiment, the continuous lottery may be executed including the operation of the condition device having a setting difference (the determination in step S382 in FIG. 52 is eliminated).
Further, when the individual continuous lottery is executed even when the condition device having a setting difference is operated, the individual continuous lottery which is more advantageous than when the condition device having no setting difference is operated, or vice versa, is set. It is possible to perform an individual continuous lottery that is more disadvantageous than when the condition device having no difference is operated.

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

(4) In FIG. 45, in steps S347 to S349, the comparison value A and the comparison value B were compared, and the larger one was stored as the continuous lottery result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to calculate "comparison value A + comparison value B" and use the value as a continuous lottery result.
Further, in the continuous lottery process of FIG. 45, the larger value of the comparison value A and the comparison value B is set as the continuous lottery result, but the continuous lottery result is determined by referring to the smaller value. You may.
Furthermore, if a result that is extremely advantageous to the player is obtained in the first continuous lottery (individual continuous lottery in the first embodiment), the subsequent continuous lottery may not be executed.
Further, in the first embodiment, the lottery is performed twice in order to obtain the comparison value A and the comparison value B, but the lottery is not limited to this, and the continuous lottery is executed three times or more, and the comparison value A and the comparison The value B, the comparison value C, ... may be obtained and the most advantageous result may be adopted.

(5) In the continuous lottery process of FIG. 45, two choices were made: "0 = discontinuation" and "1 = continuation". However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the continuous lottery result may be set to "0" to "4" as in the case of CZ rank, and the larger the value, the more advantageous it may be set. "More advantageous" includes, for example, that it becomes easier to increase the number of games during the next one set AT, that the continuous lottery can be received under favorable conditions in the next or subsequent continuous lottery, and that the next or next time. Regarding the subsequent continuation, it is possible to continue unconditionally without performing a lottery (or to execute a continuous lottery with a winning probability of 100%).

(6) The two-stage lottery of the individual continuous lottery and the common continuous lottery shown in FIG. 45 is not limited to the AT continuous lottery, and is not limited to the AT continuous lottery. It can be used in various lottery such as conversion zone, CZ rank lottery, CZ rank addition lottery, upper limit rank lottery, precursor counter lottery, precursor correction lottery, other mode lottery, and production content lottery.
When used in the production lottery, for example, a lottery based on a conditional device (individual lottery) may be used for the lottery of the attack content of the enemy character, and the common lottery may be used for the lottery of the attack content of the ally character. Further, the lottery based on the conditional device is used for the attack end lottery, and the common lottery is used for the revival lottery when the ally character is defeated.

(7) In the second embodiment (FIG. 52), for example, the lottery number 2 which is an advantageous lottery number in non-RT or RT1 corresponding to the normal game is selected, and in RT2 (increased RT), it is higher than the lottery number 2. An unfavorable lottery number (eg, lottery number 1) may be selected.
In this way, even if the player falls from RT2 to RT1 due to an operation error of the stop switch 42 during AT, it is possible to compensate so that the ball is not disadvantageous.

(8) In the present embodiment, in the start processing (FIG. 33) of the main game state 2, the continuous lottery processing (FIG. 45) is executed at the end of one set AT (when the state management counter is "0"). However, the continuous lottery process is not limited to this, and may be executed at any time during the advantageous section (for example, main game states 14 and 15), and may be executed every game even in the main game state 2.
Further, as the continuous lottery process, an individual continuous lottery based on the conditional device and a common lottery process not based on the conditional device were executed.
Here, the common lottery process that is not based on the conditional device is not executed uniformly, for example, the game state (RT, main game state, presence / absence of the accessory operating, probability state of AT lottery (for example, high probability), etc.). Depending on the situation, different lottery may be executed. Alternatively, different lottery may be executed according to variables related to AT (CZ rank (AT level and continuation rate), points updated during AT, parameters, number of games, etc. Further, variables related to the main game state and AT. You may execute different common continuous lottery based on both.

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

(10) In the first embodiment, the replays (replays C and D) are drawn by lot during the 2BB game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the replay may not be drawn during the 2BB game.
Also in the third embodiment, whether or not to draw a replay during the 2BB game is arbitrary.
In the third embodiment as well, when the same replay (replay C and D) lottery as in the first embodiment is executed, the replay 05 is awarded with "PB = 1" when the condition device of the replay C or D is activated. Can be done.
Further, in the first or third embodiment, when a replay is drawn during the 2BB game and the replay is won, one of the small wins may be won without winning the winning replay.

(11) In the first embodiment, under the situation of winning ALL during 2BB operation, 13 high-pitched small wins or 12 low-pitched small wins are won, but the number of these payouts is how many. It may be set. However, "the number of high-pitched small wins paid out> the number of low-pitched small wins paid out".
Further, it is preferable that the number of high-pitched small wins paid out is the maximum number of payouts X at the time of winning a small win in the game machine, and the number of low-pitched small wins paid out is "X-1". This is because, depending on the operation timing and / or the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the loss of the player can be set to the minimum even when the small winning combination is won.

(12) In the third embodiment, the number of small winning combinations 01 and 02 to be paid out is set to 13 under the condition of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation. However, not limited to this, it is also possible to set the small winning combination 01 to 13 and the small winning combination 02 to 12. On the contrary, it is also possible to set the small winning combination 01 to 12 and the small winning combination 02 to 13.
Further, as in the third embodiment, it may be set so that the small winning combination may be missed in any pushing order. For example, in the specific pushing order, the small winning combination wins at "PB = 1" and the specific pushing order is obtained. In the push order other than the order, the small winning combination may be set to "PB ≠ 1".

Furthermore, when a symbol combination of "PB ≠ 1" is provided under the situation of winning ALL during 2BB operation, only a part of the reels 31 are set to the symbol arrangement of "PB ≠ 1" and the number of moving symbols. And a method of setting all reels 31 to the symbol arrangement and the number of moving symbols of "PB ≠ 1". If all the reels 31 are set to "PB ≠ 1", it is possible to provide a case where a small winning combination is missed regardless of which pressing order the stop switch 42 is operated.

(13) In the first embodiment, under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, a plurality of types of symbol combinations of the high-pitched small combination and the low-eye small combination are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one combination of symbols of high-pitched small winning combination or low-pitched small winning combination may be used as one type.
Similarly, in the third embodiment, under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, the number of symbol combinations of the small winning combination 02 is one type. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of types of symbol combinations of the small winning combination 02 may be provided. If a plurality of types of symbol combinations of the small winning combination 02 are provided, the variation of the stop roll can be increased.

Here, under the situation of winning ALL during 2BB operation, if there is only one type of symbol combination of high-pitched small winning combination, low-pitched small winning combination, and small winning combination with the possibility of being missed, it corresponds to these small winning combination. It becomes easier for the player to recognize that the symbols constituting the symbol combination are pulled in and controlled.
On the other hand, if there are a plurality of types of symbol combinations of high-pitched small wins, low-pitched small wins, and small wins that may be missed, the symbols that make up the symbol combinations corresponding to these small wins are drawn in and controlled. It becomes difficult for the player to recognize this, and the technical intervention based on the player's knowledge can be enhanced. That is, under the situation of the winning ALL during the 2BB operation, there are merits in each of the combinations of the symbols of the small winning combinations that can be won, whether they are one type or a plurality of types.

(14) In the present embodiment, the specified number (number of medals inserted) is set to 2 during the operation of 2BB. Here, if the specified number is set to 3, the disadvantage that the player receives when the small winning combination is missed increases, so as in the first embodiment, either the high-mesh small role or the low-eye small role is selected. It is possible to win a prize and set it so that it will not be missed. If the specified number of 2BBs is set to 3 and the number of cards is set to be missed, the game machine can be made with higher technical intervention.
On the other hand, if the specified number is set to 1 when the small winning combination is set to be missed during the 2BB operation, the disadvantage to the player is minimized even if the small winning combination is missed. Can be.

(15) In the 2BB game, the reels having the maximum number of moving symbols of 4 symbols (stopping within 190 ms) are the left and right reels 31, and the reels having the maximum number of moving symbols of 1 symbol (stopping within 75 ms) are the middle reels. It was set to 31. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel having the maximum number of moving symbols of 1 symbol (stopping within 75 ms) may be any reel 31, and may be 2 or 3 reels 31.
Further, in the example of FIG. 51 of the first embodiment, the winning rate of the highest small winning combination is the highest in the push order 213, and in the example of FIG. 53 of the third embodiment, the highest small winning combination is in the middle first stop. The winning rate of is increased. However, not limited to this, it is considered that the player usually plays the game with the left first stop (forward push), so for example, the maximum number of moving symbols is 1 symbol (stop within 75 ms). If you set the reel to be the left reel 31 and set it so that the winning rate of the highest small winning combination is the highest or the probability of missing is the lowest at the first stop on the left, even a beginner will not lose much. It can be an opportunity.

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

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

<Additional notes>
The inventions (initial inventions) described in the initial specification of the present application may include, for example, the following initial inventions 1 to 10, respectively, which solve the problems to be solved by each initial invention and the problems related to the initial invention. The means for this and the effects of the original invention are as follows. However, the invention described in the present specification does not mean that the invention is limited to the initial inventions 1 to 10.

1. 1. Initial invention 1
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 1 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that enables processing related to a notification game (AT) to be executed even when a special role having a setting difference is won.
In a conventional game machine, when a special combination having a setting difference (the winning probability at least one set value is different from the winning probability at at least one other set value) is won, based on the winning of the special role. It is not possible to shift to an advantageous section. Therefore, a lottery or the like related to AT cannot be executed by winning the special role (see, for example, FIGS. 17 and 18 of Japanese Patent No. 6112524).
As described above, in the conventional game machine, when the special role having the setting difference is won, the advantageous section and the AT cannot be given. Therefore, when the special role having the setting difference is won, the player is disappointed. There is a problem.
The problem that the invention initially tries to solve is to make it possible to give a profit to the player even when a special role having a setting difference is won.

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

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 1 According to the original invention, a predetermined process is executed after the end of the special game regardless of whether the first special combination or the second special combination is won in the advantageous section. It is possible, and in the predetermined process, a specific process related to the notification game is executed. Therefore, even when the second special role having a setting difference is won, the player is benefited through the predetermined process and the specific process. Can be given.

2. Initial invention 2
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 2 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that enables processing related to a notification game (AT) to be executed even when a special role having a setting difference is won.
In a conventional game machine, when a special combination having a setting difference (the winning probability at least one set value is different from the winning probability at at least one other set value) is won, based on the winning of the special role. It is not possible to shift to an advantageous section. Therefore, a lottery or the like related to AT cannot be executed by winning the special role (see, for example, FIGS. 17 and 18 of Japanese Patent No. 6112524).
In a conventional game machine, an advantageous section and an AT cannot be given based on the winning of a combination having a setting difference. There is a problem that people cannot be expected.
The problem to be solved by the initial invention is to make it possible to give a profit to the player even when a winning combination having a setting difference is won.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems of Initial Invention 2 (Note that the corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses.)
The original invention was
The role lottery means (61) for drawing the role, and
It is provided with a notification game execution means for executing a notification game (AT) that notifies the operation information (correct answer pressing order) of the stop switch (42), which is advantageous for the player.
In a predetermined game (a game that executes a continuous lottery process), a first lottery (individual continuous lottery) based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means and a second lottery not based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means (common). (Continuous lottery) can be executed,
Based on the result of either one of the result of the first lottery (comparison value A) and the result of the second lottery (comparison value B), a predetermined determination regarding the notification game (for continuous lottery of AT). Determining whether or not the player has won. Step S196 in FIG. 33) is performed.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 2 According to the initial invention, for example, even when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means is not won, an advantageous conclusion can be expected in a predetermined determination regarding the notification game. Further, even when the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means is an advantageous lottery result, an advantageous conclusion can be expected in the above determination.

3. 3. Initial invention 3
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention 3 Same as the original invention 2.
(B) Means for Solving the Problem of Initial Invention 3 (Note that the corresponding embodiment is described in parentheses.)
The original invention was
The role lottery means (61) for drawing the role, and
It is provided with a notification game lottery means for drawing a lottery as to whether or not to execute a notification game (AT) that notifies the operation information (correct answer pressing order) of the stop switch (42) that is advantageous for the player.
The notification game lottery means
The first lottery based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means and the second lottery based on the game state (RT, main game state, total number of games, etc.) can be executed.
The feature is that the result of the first lottery is compared with the result of the second lottery, the result of one lottery is determined based on a predetermined condition, and a predetermined process related to the notification game is executed based on the result. To do.

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

4. Initial invention 4
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 4 The initial invention relates to a gaming machine that changes the number of games of a precursory game before executing a notification game.
In the conventional gaming machine, the number of games of the precursory game before the broadcast game (AT) is executed is determined at the start of the precursory game (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-012479).
In the above-mentioned conventional game machine, since the number of precursor games is fixed, there is a problem that the number of precursor games is diversified and the end timing of the precursor game (start timing of the notification game) cannot be surprised. There is.
The problem to be solved by the initial invention is to make the number of games of the precursory game variable.

(B) Means for Solving the Problem of Initial Invention 4 (Note that the corresponding embodiment is described in parentheses.)
The original invention was
Equipped with a role lottery means (61) for drawing a role
When the special combination (1BBB, 1BBC) is won by the combination lottery means and the combination of the symbols corresponding to the special combination is stopped, the game shifts to the special game (1BBB game, 1BBC game).
After the end of the special game, through the precursory game (main game state 1), the notification game (AT) that notifies the operation information (correct answer pressing order) of the stop switch (42), which is advantageous for the player, can be executed.
During the special game, the number of games of the precursory game is determined based on the lottery result by the combination lottery means (precursor counter addition lottery 1 to 4 in step S224 of FIG. 35), and the determined number of games is set to a predetermined counter (state management). Accumulated to the counter) and can be added
After the end of the special game, the precursory game (main game state 0) of the number of games corresponding to the predetermined counter value can be executed (step S181 in FIG. 32).
After the precursory game is completed, when the execution condition of the notified game is satisfied (when “No” in step S262 of FIG. 39), the notified game (main game state 2) can be started.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 4 According to the initial invention, the number of games of the precursory game changes according to the lottery result of the role lottery means during the special game, so that the lottery result of the role lottery means during the special game is reflected. It becomes possible to execute a precursory game.

5. Initial invention 5
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 5 The initial invention relates to a game machine that appropriately outputs an effect when the end of the continuation upper limit of the advantageous section and the special game overlap.
It is known that in a conventional game machine, an ending effect is output just before the end of an advantageous section (when the number of continuous upper limit games is approaching 1500 games). Further, it is known that the ending effect is continued even when the special role (1BB) is won during the ending effect and the game shifts to the special game (see, for example, FIG. 70 (b) of Japanese Patent No. 6112524). ..

When the ending effect is preferentially output as in a conventional game machine, the ending effect may be repeated, the effect state without change may continue, and the effect content may not be what is intended.
Furthermore, during the ending effect, if an effect related to an advantageous section or an additional number of AT games is output based on the execution of a special game, the player may misunderstand (if the advantageous section or AT is further extended, the player may There is a problem that there is a risk of (misunderstanding).
The problem to be solved by the initial invention is a specific effect that can be output when the advantageous section is continued until the maximum number of continuous games in the advantageous section is reached, and the first special role in which the winning probability is the same for all set values. It is to output an effect without misunderstanding between the effect during the special game related to the above and the effect during the special game related to the second special role in which the winning probability differs depending on at least a part of the set values.

(B) Means for Solving the Problem of Initial Invention 5 (Note that the corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses.)
The first solution is
It is possible to execute a lottery of roles including special roles to shift to special games,
As special roles, there are at least a first special role (1BBB, 1BBC) in which the winning probabilities are the same for all set values, and a second special role (1BBA) in which the winning probabilities are different for at least some set values. ,
When the game shifts to a special game (1BBB game, 1BBC game) based on the winning of the first special role, the operation information of the stop switch (42) that is advantageous to the player in the special game (correct answer pressing order). It is possible to execute the process related to the notification game (AT) for notifying the notification game (additional lottery in step S241 of FIG. 37), and further output the first effect (effect of whether or not the addition is added) including the effect related to the notification game. age,
When the game shifts to a special game (1BBA game) based on the winning of the second special role, the special game has a second effect (introduction of characters, story introduction, etc.) that does not include the effect related to the notification game. ) Is output,
The game section has a normal section in which the notified game cannot be executed and an advantageous section in which the notified game can be executed.
When a predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section (when the number of talk counter = "22" is reached), the advantageous section can be continued until the maximum number of continuous games (1500 games) in the advantageous section is reached.
When the above-mentioned predetermined conditions are satisfied in the advantageous section, a specific effect (ending effect) can be output.
When the specific effect is not output in the advantageous section and the game shifts to the special game based on the winning of the first special combination, the first effect (BB2 game effect in pattern 3 of FIG. 49) is output. And
When the first special role is won during the advantageous section and the game shifts to the special game based on the winning of the first special role after the end of the advantageous section, the second effect (BB1 game effect) is output (Fig.). 49 patterns 2)
It is characterized by that.

The second solution is
It is possible to execute a lottery of roles including special roles to shift to special games,
As special roles, there are at least a first special role (1BBB, 1BBC) in which the winning probabilities are the same for all set values, and a second special role (1BBA) in which the winning probabilities are different for at least some set values. ,
When the game shifts to a special game (1BBB game, 1BBC game) based on the winning of the first special role, the operation information of the stop switch (42) that is advantageous to the player in the special game (correct answer pressing order). It is possible to execute the process related to the notification game (AT) for notifying the notification game (additional lottery in step S241 of FIG. 37), and further output the first effect (effect of whether or not the addition is added) including the effect related to the notification game. age,
When the game shifts to a special game (1BBA game) based on the winning of the second special role, the special game has a second effect (introduction of characters, story introduction, etc.) that does not include the effect related to the notification game. ) Is output,
The game section has a normal section in which the notified game cannot be executed and an advantageous section in which the notified game can be executed.
When a predetermined condition is satisfied in the advantageous section (when the number of talk counter = "22" is reached), the advantageous section can be continued until the maximum number of continuous games (1500 games) in the advantageous section is reached.
When the above-mentioned predetermined conditions are satisfied in the advantageous section, a specific effect (ending effect) can be output.
When the specific effect is not output in the advantageous section and the game shifts to the special game based on the winning of the first special combination, the first effect (BB2 game effect in pattern 3 of FIG. 49) is output. And
When the special game shifts to the special game based on the winning of the first special role during the advantageous section and the special game continues even after the end of the advantageous section, the special game in the advantageous section outputs the specific effect, which is advantageous. In the special game after the end of the section, the second effect (BB1 game effect) is output (Pattern 1 in FIG. 48).
It is characterized by that.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 5 According to the initial invention, an appropriate effect can be output even when the specific effect in the advantageous section and the special effect overlap. In particular, in a situation where the lottery related to the notified game is not executed, it is possible to output an effect that does not include the effect related to the notified game.

6. Initial invention 6
(A) Problems to be Solved by Initial Invention 6 The initial invention responds to the operation of a stop switch in a predetermined gaming state in which the maximum number of movement diagrams when the reels are stopped is controlled to be different for at least one reel. It relates to a game machine in which the symbol combinations displayed at the stop are different.
In a conventional game machine, a lottery for replay is executed during a 2BB (MB) game, and depending on the winning of the replay and the operation of the stop switch, the replay wins a prize and the small winning combination wins. The machine is known (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 5240949).

However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, in the game in which the replay is not won during the 2BB game, the reel stop control is the same, the symbol combination displayed as the stop is the same, and the number of payouts is also the same. Therefore, there is a problem that the skill of the player cannot be demonstrated when the replay is not won during the 2BB game.
The problem to be solved by the initial invention is to provide the player with technical intervention in a predetermined game in a predetermined game state (for example, under the condition of winning ALL during the 2BB game).

(B) Means for Solving the Problem of Initial Invention 6 (Note that the corresponding embodiments are described in parentheses.)

A reel control means (65) for stopping and controlling the reel within the range of the maximum number of moving symbols of the reel based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means when the operation of the stop switch is detected is provided.
In a predetermined gaming state (during 2BB game), the reel control means has a maximum number of moving symbols for at least one specific reel (middle reel 31) among the plurality of reels, and a reel other than the specific reel. Different stop controls (“1” for specific reels and “4” for non-specific reels) can be executed.
In a predetermined game (under the situation of winning ALL) in the predetermined game state, the symbol combination 1 (13 cards) corresponding to the first payout number (13 sheets) regardless of the push order of the stop switch. Either the small winning combination 01 to 04) or the symbol combination 2 (small winning combination 05 and 06) corresponding to the second payout number (12 sheets), which is smaller than the first payout number, can be stopped and displayed.
Percentage of stop display of symbol combination 1 when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first operated (“7980/8000” when the push order is “213”, “7960” when the push order is “231” / 8000 ") is characterized in that it is higher than the ratio of stopping and displaying the symbol combination 1 when the stop switch corresponding to a predetermined reel other than the specific reel is first operated.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention 6 According to the initial invention, it is possible to stop a combination of symbols having different numbers of payouts based on the operation (pressing order) of the stop switch of the player, so that technical intervention can be provided. ..
Further, by stopping and displaying the symbol combination 1 or the symbol combination 2, it is possible to prevent the player from being unnecessarily disadvantaged.
