The random number value can be generated based on, for example, the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number value” includes not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also that even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular, so that the value is practical. Also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The internal lottery means 120 determines the winning or not of the combination based on the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by the player by the game start operation (first pressing operation on the activated start lever SL) with respect to the start lever SL. It is a means for performing an internal lottery, such as a lottery table selection process, a random number determination process, and a lottery flag setting process.

In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which of the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911 of the storage means 190 is used for the internal lottery. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, six types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 6) as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911. And in each internal lottery table, various roles such as replays, small wins, and bonuses and losses (unwinned) correspond to each of a plurality of random numbers (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535). It is attached. In this embodiment, six types of internal lottery tables are prepared for each set value for the set values of six stages, and the probability that a part of the winning modes will be obtained by the internal lottery differs depending on the set values. Therefore, the correspondence between the winning combination and the random value is set so that the higher the set value, the higher the expected value of the payout rate.

In the game machine of the present embodiment, small wins 1 to 11 are prepared as small wins, and batting order bells 1 to batting order bell 9, common bell, watermelon A, watermelon B, etc. Watermelon C, cherry, and JAC are set.

The winning mode of each small winning combination will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 6. The batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 are two to four types of one small winning combination (small winning combination with one payout (small winning combination 1). ~ Small winning combination 5)) and one type of 8 small winning combination (small winning combination with 8 payouts (small winning combination 6): an example of a predetermined winning combination) are shown to be won in duplicate. Is one type of 13 small wins (small win with 13 payouts (small win 9)) and one type of 14 small wins (small win with 14 payouts (small win 10)). Indicates that you will win.

In addition, watermelon A to watermelon C are one type of three small wins (small win with three payouts (small win 8)) and two types of one small win (two of small wins 1 to 3 small wins). The type) and the winning are duplicated, and Cherry indicates that one type of two small winning combination (small winning combination with two payouts (small winning combination 7)) is won independently. JAC has 5 types of 1-card small wins (small wins 1 to 5), 1 type of 2-card small wins (small wins 7), 1 type of 3-card small wins (small wins 8), and 1 8 types of small wins (6 small wins), 1 type of 13 small wins (9 small wins), 1 type of 14 small wins (10 small wins), and 1 type of 15 small wins (dividend) Indicates that 15 small wins (small wins 11)) are duplicated and won.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, replays 1 to 6 are prepared as replays, and normal replays 1 to normal replays 3 and batting order replays 1 to batting order replays 12 are set as replay winning modes. There is.

When the winning mode of each replay is specifically described with reference to FIG. 7, the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 indicate that two types of replays including the replay 1 are won in duplicate, and the batting order replay 1 ~ Batting order replay 6 indicates that 2 to 5 types of replays including replay 1 and replay 2 are won in duplicate, and batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are 2 types including replay 1 and replay 3. ~ 5 types of replays are shown to be won in duplicate.

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

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB) are prepared as bonuses, and in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4, the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are prepared. ) Is set as a lottery target, but in the internal lottery table 5 and the internal lottery table 6, both the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are excluded from the lottery target.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the RB established state, the RB state (an example of the bonus state), the BB established state, and the BB state (an example of the bonus state) can be set as the gaming state, and the RT state can be set. The non-RT state, RT1 state, RT2 state, and RT3 state can be set as (replay lottery state), and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 are set according to the game state and the RT state. One of the above is selected as the internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

In the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, the probability of obtaining each of the winning modes of the small winning combination in the internal lottery is the same, but the winning probability of the watermelon B and the watermelon C depends on the set value. Is different. In particular, in the present embodiment, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C are all winning modes including three small wins, but as shown in FIG. 8A, watermelon A is internal at any set value. While the winning probability in the lottery is constant at about 1/64, watermelon B and watermelon C change in the range of about 1/1024 to about 1/256 depending on the set value, and watermelon A to watermelon When the winning probabilities of C are added up, the probability that one of the watermelons will be won by the internal lottery changes in the range of about 1 / 56.9 to about 1 / 42.7 depending on the set value, and setting 1 The higher the set value from to the setting 6, the higher the probability that any watermelon will be won by the internal lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4, the probability of obtaining each of the bonus winning modes in the internal lottery is the same, but the probability of winning the regular bonus (RB) is determined according to the set value. It's different. In particular, in the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) and a regular bonus (RB) are provided as bonuses, but as shown in FIG. 8 (B), the big bonus (BB) is internal in any of the set values. While the winning probability in the lottery is constant at about 1/1024, the regular bonus (RB) changes in the range of about 1/512 to about 1/256 according to the set value, and each bonus is won. When the probabilities are added up, the probability of winning one of the bonuses changes in the range of about 1/341 to about 1/204 depending on the set value, and the higher the set value for setting 1 to setting 6, the more one of them. There is a high probability that the bonus will be won by an internal lottery.

In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generating means 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number value is stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911 of the storage means 190. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won by referring to the internal lottery table stored in.

In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state) based on the result of the random number determination process. , On state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combination is set in the winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage means 1912 of the storage means 190.

Further, in the game machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that allows the winning state to be carried over to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the winning state is not carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. There is a lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that resets to the winning state. There is a bonus as the role to which the former carry-over flag is associated, and the small role and replay are associated with the latter carry-over flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when a big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine the winning or not of the small winning combination and the replay even in the game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over. The same applies when the regular bonus (RB) is won. Once the regular bonus (RB) is won, the winning state of the lottery flag of the regular bonus (RB) is carried over until the regular bonus (RB) is won, and it is regular. Even in a game in which the winning state of the bonus (RB) lottery flag is carried over, an internal lottery is performed to determine the winning or not of the small role and the replay. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, if a small winning combination or replay is won, the bonus lottery flag that has already been won and the small winning combination won by the internal lottery. And the lottery flag corresponding to two or more kinds of combinations including the lottery flag of the replay is set in the winning state.

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

Then, when the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled and the stop switch 240 is activated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3, the reel control means 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240. By stopping the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 based on the signal, control is performed to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

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

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, with respect to the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. It has become like. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops is 0 at the stop position of each rotating reel. It is determined in the range of ~ 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, in the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is the stop button. If the position is within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the valid line when the pressing operation is performed on, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination with the lottery flag set to the winning state is the valid line. As shown in the upper display position, the control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the white 7 symbol “white 7” are relative to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , Black 7 symbol "Black 7", BAR symbol "BAR", Replay symbol "RP", Dummy symbol "DUM", Bell symbol "BL", Watermelon symbol A "WMA", Watermelon symbol B "WMB", and Cherry symbol When "CH" is arranged and the symbols existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position are drawn onto the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed. It can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the detection position.

Further, the reel control means 130 is rotating with reference to a process (logic calculation) of obtaining the stop position of the reel being rotated according to the priority and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1913 of the storage means 190. The process of determining the stop position of the reel (table reference process) is performed.

First, in the logic calculation, the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated (when the stop button is detected) is within the range of 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position according to the priority data determined for each combination. The priority is obtained for the candidate of the stop position for 5 frames (or 2 frames) existing in (or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame). Then, among the priorities of the candidates for each stop position, the candidate for the stop position having the highest priority is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for multiple stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, etc., and the highest priority stop position candidate becomes a plurality of candidates. In that case, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process described later.

In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority is set in the order of "replay> bonus" and "small combination> bonus", and in the logic calculation, lottery flags for two or more types of combination are set to the internal winning state. If so, according to the priority associated with each winning combination, the symbols that constitute the winning form of the winning combination with low priority are assigned to the candidates for the stop position including the symbols that constitute the winning form of the winning combination with high priority. The priority is obtained so that the priority is higher than the candidate of the including stop position.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority of the stop position candidates when a plurality of types of small wins are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning modes that can be displayed on the valid line. There are cases where the priority is calculated and cases where the priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out based on the predetermined dividend for the small winning combination, and the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning form that can be displayed on the valid line. When finding the priority of the stop position candidates according to the above, each stop position candidate has a higher priority as the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning form that can be displayed on the effective line increases. When finding the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the number of medals paid out, the medal based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the valid line. The priority of each stop position candidate is calculated so that the stop position where the number of payouts increases (the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be won) has a higher priority. However, when seeking priority for candidates for stop positions according to the number of medals paid out, if small wins with the same payout are won more than once, each small win can be won. The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same, and when the priority of the stop position candidates is obtained according to the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning form that can be displayed on the valid line, the priority is placed on the valid line. The priority of the stop position candidates in which the number of symbol combinations indicating the displayable winning forms is the same is treated as the same.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the logic calculation is performed according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Specifically, a correct batting order is set for each of the batting order bells 1 to 9, and a pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as an incorrect batting order. Then, when any of the batting order bells is won, if the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct batting order, it is confirmed that the batting order is the correct batting order, and the number of medals paid out is the largest. The priority is calculated so that the candidate for the stop position has the highest priority. In addition, when any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the symbol combinations constituting the most winning forms can be displayed at the stage of stopping each reel. The priority is calculated so that the candidate of the possible stop position has the highest priority.

Then, in the present embodiment, when any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a candidate for a stop position capable of winning eight small winning combinations (small winning combination 6). The logic calculation is performed so that the priority of is the highest, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, one small winning combination (small winning combination 1 to small winning combination 5) can be won. The logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

If the game state is RB established state or BB established state, the winning of a small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, so if the batting order bell is won and the stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order, 8 pieces are small. Even if the winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect batting order, the regular bonus (RB) or big bonus (BB) when displaying the symbols that make up the winning form of one small winning combination on the valid line Priority is required to avoid winning. However, at the time of winning the cherry, the symbols that make up the winning form of the two small wins corresponding to the cherry cannot be displayed on the effective line, and the winning form of the regular bonus (RB) or big bonus (BB) Since there is a press detection position that can display the symbols that make up the above on the effective line, if the cherry is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the small winning combination will not be won and the regular bonus (RB) ) And big bonus (BB) may win.

Further, when the batting order bell is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the small winning combination that is prioritized changes according to the pressing order. For example, the RB established state or the BB is established. When the batting order bell is won in the state, the priority is calculated so that the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning form that can be displayed on the effective line is the maximum regardless of the pressing order, and the eight small winning combination The stop position may be determined by giving priority to the winning of one small winning combination over the winning. In this way, if one small win is given priority over eight small wins in the RB established state or BB established state, the expected value of winning medals in the RB established state or BB established state can be suppressed to a lower level. Therefore, it is possible to give the motivation to win the regular bonus (RB) as soon as possible when the RB is established, or to give the player the motivation to win the big bonus (BB) as soon as possible when the BB is established.

In one of the RB and BB games, when the batting order bell is won, eight small wins are won in the batting order, and in the other game state, one small in any batting order when the batting order bell is won. The stop position may be determined so that the winning combination is won, and in this way, an index for estimating which bonus is won depending on the winning frequency of the 8-card small winning combination or the 1-card small winning combination is used as a game. You will be able to give to others. That is, the control rule for determining the stop position at the time of winning the batting order bell may be different between the RB established state and the BB established state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell or JAC is won, the logic calculation is performed so as to obtain the priority according to the number of medals paid out, and when the common bell is won, it is stopped in any pressing order. Even if the operation is performed, the logic calculation is performed so that the candidate of the stop position that can win 14 small wins (small win 10) has the highest priority, and when the JAC is won, any of the presses is performed. Even if the stop operations are performed in order, the logic calculation is performed so that the candidate of the stop position capable of winning 15 small wins (small win 11) has the highest priority.

Further, in the logic calculation, so-called pull-in processing and kicking processing are performed as processing for obtaining a candidate for a reel stop position. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining the priority of the candidate reel stop position so that the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining the priority of the candidate reel stop position so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 makes it possible to stop the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the non-winning state is in the form of winning. A logic operation is performed to find a candidate for a reel stop position so that the reel does not stop.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 each time the reel rotates once. By obtaining the rotation angle (number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reference position of the reel (frame detected by the reel index 315), the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored. It has become. That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle of the reel from the reference position.

In the table reference processing, when a plurality of candidates for the stop position having the highest priority are obtained as a result of performing the logic operation, which position is set as the stop position is determined by the stop control table storage means 1913 of the storage means 190. Determined by referring to the stop control table stored in.

Here, in the stop control table, the correspondence between the push detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated (when the press of the stop button is detected), and the actual stop position, according to the setting state of the lottery flag. The relationship is set. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the pressing detection position and the number of sliding frames indicating the amount of rotation from the pressing detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

Then, in the stop control table referred to when any of the batting order bells 1 to 9 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 10, the correct batting order (an example of a specific operation order) is given to each batting order bell. ) Is set, and the pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as the incorrect batting order.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any of the batting order bells 1 to 9 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, eight small winning combinations are won. The stop position is set with respect to the pressed detection position, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the wrong batting order, one of the small winning combinations wins or none of the small winning combinations wins. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there are cases where a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line.

Even if the batting order bell is won in the BB establishment state, since the winning of the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, 8 small winning combinations will be won in the correct batting order, and 1 small winning combination will be won in the incorrect batting order. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there is a case where a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line without winning any combination. In this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won in the BB establishment state, the symbols constituting the winning form of any of the small winning combinations are always displayed on the effective line when the first stop operation is performed. Because the big bonus (BB) is avoided in the batting order bell, the big bonus (BB) is won even if neither the 8 small wins nor the 1 small win included in the batting order bell is won. There is nothing to do.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when watermelons A to C are won, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that the three small wins are given priority over the one small win. The stop position is determined so that one small winning combination is won as much as possible when the three small winning combination cannot be won, and none of the small winning combination may be won depending on the mode of the stop operation. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, when three small winning combinations are won, a downward-sloping invalid line consisting of an upper stage of the first reel R1, a middle stage of the second reel R2, and a lower stage of the third reel R3. A downward-sloping watermelon-matching stop mode in which a combination of watermelon-matching symbols composed of watermelon symbol A "WMA" and watermelon symbol B "WMB" is displayed appears.

In this embodiment, the watermelon A, the watermelon B, and the watermelon C commonly include the small winning combination 8 which is a three-card small winning combination, while the combination of the two types of one-card small winning combination is different from each other. However, watermelon A and watermelon B commonly contain a small role 1, watermelon B and watermelon C commonly contain a small role 3, and watermelon A and watermelon C contain a small role 3 in common. Since the small role 2 is included in common, even if any of watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C is won and the prize for the three small roles is missed, that case It is not possible to identify which winning mode is selected depending on the stopping mode.

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

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

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 2 wins. The stop position for the press detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 wins. The stop position for the press detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

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

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stopping mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, the winning determination table of the storage means 190 is displayed on the effective line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped while referring to the winning determination table stored in the storage means 1914. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the big bonus (BB), regular bonus (RB), replay 1 to replay 6, and small winning combination are displayed according to the symbol combination displayed on the effective line when each reel is stopped. A prize determination table is prepared so that it can be determined whether or not a prize has been won for 1 to small winning combination 11 and whether or not an RT fluctuation blank is displayed.

Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the winning combination is won, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the processing at the time of winning, for example, when a small winning combination is won, the payout control means 150 performs the medal payout control process, and when the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay process, and a bonus is given. When a prize is won, the game state transition control means 170 performs a game state transition control process for shifting the game state. When a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the effective line while all reels are stopped, the RT control means 173 controls to change the RT state according to the displayed symbol combination. ..

The payout control means 150 performs a payout control process for paying out medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are given to the hopper unit HP (). Controls the payout device).

The hopper unit HP performs an operation of paying out the number of medals specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit HP is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 actually operates from the hopper unit HP based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out to.

If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, the number of credits stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 (not shown) instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit HP (not shown). The credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals) is performed to virtually pay out the medals.

When the replay wins a prize, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (replay process) that sets the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring the player to insert a medal owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the game machine of the present embodiment, when the replay wins a prize, the same number of medals as the previous game is automatically inserted without using the medals (including credit medals) held by the player. The process is performed, and the game start operation for the next start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

As shown in FIG. 14A, the game state transition control means 170 has a normal state, an RB established state (an example of a bonus established state), an RB state (an example of a bonus state), and a BB established state (an example of a bonus established state). ), And the game state transition control process for shifting the game state between the BB state (an example of the bonus state) is performed. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are set, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the RB established state and the BB established state. Specifically, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state, the RB is established, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the BB is established. Further, in the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery in which the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are set as the lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed with reference to any of the tables 4 according to the RT state.

The RB establishment state is a gaming state in which the transition is triggered by winning the regular bonus (RB) in the internal lottery. In the RB establishment state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning or losing of the small winning combination is determined with the same probability as in the normal state, and the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are given. All of them are excluded from the lottery target, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

In the RB establishment state, the winning or not of the small role and the replay is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the regular bonus (RB) is maintained in the winning state until the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the regular bonus (RB) is won. When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the effective line, the game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state from the RB establishment state to the RB state based on the winning of the regular bonus (RB).

The RB state is a gaming state in which the transition occurs when a symbol combination indicating the winning form of the regular bonus (RB) is displayed on the valid line. In the RB state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of a small winning combination is set higher than that of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the replay is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 6. That is, in the RB state, the small winning combination is won more frequently than in the normal state, which is more advantageous to the player than in the normal state.

Further, in the RB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the number of winning small wins and the number of games in the RB state, and whether the number of winning small wins reaches a predetermined number (for example, 8 times) or RB. When the number of games played in the state reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times), the game state transition control means 170 terminates the RB state and returns the game state to the normal state based on the fact that any of the conditions is satisfied. Let me.

The BB establishment state is a gaming state in which the game shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the BB establishment state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning or losing of the small winning combination is determined with the same probability as in the normal state, and the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are given. All of them are excluded from the lottery target, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

In the BB establishment state, the winning or not of the small role and replay is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the big bonus (BB) is won. When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the effective line, the game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state from the BB establishment state to the BB state based on the winning of the big bonus (BB).

The BB state is a gaming state in which the game shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the valid line. In the BB state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of a small winning combination is set higher than that of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the replay is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 6. That is, in the BB state, the small winning combination is won more frequently than in the normal state, which is more advantageous to the player than in the normal state.

In the BB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game in the BB state, and the number of medals to be paid out exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 250). Is paid out, the game state transition control means 170 ends the BB state and returns the game state to the normal state.

As shown in FIG. 14B, the RT control means 173 includes a non-RT state (non-replay time state), an RT1 state (first replay time state), an RT2 state (second replay time state), and an RT3 state (RT3 state). The RT transition control process for transitioning the RT state between the third replay time state) is performed. In the present embodiment, the lottery mode of the replay differs depending on the RT state, and specifically, the winning probability of the replay, the type of the replay to be drawn, and at least one combination of the replays to be won in duplicate are different. There is. That is, when the RT state fluctuates, the winning probability of some or all replays may differ between before and after the fluctuation. As the transition condition of the RT state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When multiple conditions are set, the RT state is set based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another RT state.

The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and it is possible to shift from the non-RT state to the RT1 state. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line in the non-RT state, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the non-RT state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1 set in 0.3. In the present embodiment, the non-RT state is set when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the RB state or the BB state, and the RT state other than the non-RT state when the gaming state is the normal state. When one small winning combination is won, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state.

The RT1 state is an RT state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line, and it is possible to shift from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the non-RT state. .. Specifically, when a symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 2 is displayed on the valid line in the RT1 state (when Replay 2 wins), the game shifts to the RT2 state, and in the RT1 state, one small winning combination is played. When the symbol combination indicating the winning form is displayed on the valid line (when one small winning combination is won), the non-RT state is entered. Further, in the RT1 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 2 set in 3.

The RT2 state is an RT state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 2 is displayed on the valid line, and the transition from the RT2 state to the RT3 state, the non-RT state, and the RT1 state. Is possible. Specifically, when a symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 3 is displayed on the valid line in the RT2 state (when Replay 3 wins), the game shifts to the RT3 state, and in the RT2 state, one small winning combination is played. When the symbol combination indicating the winning form is displayed on the valid line (when one small winning combination is won), the game shifts to the non-RT state, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the RT2 state. If it is done, it shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT2 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are set as the winning modes of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 set in 5.

The RT3 state is an RT state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 3 is displayed on the valid line, and it is possible to shift from the RT3 state to the non-RT state and the RT1 state. ing. Specifically, when a symbol combination indicating the winning form of one small winning combination is displayed on the valid line in the RT3 state (when one small winning combination is won), the game shifts to the non-RT state, and in the RT3 state. When the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 4 set to 0. In the internal lottery table 4 that is referred to when staying in the RT3 state in the normal state, the correspondence between the combination and the random number value is set so that the result of the internal lottery will not be lost.

As shown in FIG. 15, the privilege granting means 175 changes the effect state among a plurality of types of effect states including the non-AT state, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end waiting state, and the effect state is changed under predetermined conditions. Set the effect state to the AT state (assist time state), determine the success or failure of the AT state end condition based on the value of the AT end judgment counter 1915, and end the AT state when the AT state end condition is satisfied. Control to make it. In the present embodiment, when the player is in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, so that eight small wins (small win 6: predetermined small win). A winning assistance effect is performed to assist the winning of the role), and it is possible to perform an assist time game in which a medal is easier to obtain than a game staying in a non-AT state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the privilege granting means 175 changes the game section between a plurality of types of game sections including the normal section, the internal medium standby section, and the advantageous section, and the effect state is not set in the normal section. The AT lottery is performed by fixing the AT state, and the advantageous section can be started by winning the AT lottery, and the effect state can be set to the AT state only when the advantageous section is set. Then, the privilege granting means 175 ATs based on the fact that any of the common bell, watermelon A, cherry, and big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery when the game state is the normal state in the game of the normal section. Perform a lottery (an example of a specific lottery). In the AT lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, for each of the random numbers for the internal lottery associated with each winning mode (common bell, watermelon A, cherry, big bonus (BB)) in the internal lottery that triggers the AT lottery, If either winning or losing is associated and the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is associated with winning in the AT lottery table, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set a low probability state in which the winning probability is about 1/256 (an example of the initial probability) and a high probability state in which the winning probability is about 1/64 as the lottery state of the AT lottery. In the AT lottery, the AT lottery table according to the lottery state is referred to. That is, when the lottery state is in the high probability state, the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher than when the lottery state is in the low probability state is referred to. The winning probability of the AT lottery may be different depending on the winning mode of the internal lottery. In this case, there may be a winning mode in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is the same in the low probability state and the high probability state, or the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher in the low probability state than in the high probability state. , If the total number of random numbers assigned to the winning of the AT lottery has a relationship of "high probability state> low probability state", the winning probability of the AT lottery for each winning mode can be arbitrarily determined. Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery in each lottery state does not change due to the influence of the set value.

Then, when the privilege granting means 175 wins the AT lottery in the normal section, the advantageous section is started based on the winning of the AT lottery, and the production state is changed from the non-AT state to the AT state via the AT preparation state. Then, the assist time game is performed in the advantageous section. If the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is won, the winning information of the AT lottery is retained until the end of the BB state, and the BB state ends and the game state returns to the normal state. The effect state is set to the AT preparation state, and the state shifts to the AT state via the AT preparation state.

Then, in the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 executes the winning assist effect so as to lead the RT state to the RT3 state.

For example, if the player is staying in the RT1 state, which is the RT state that is likely to be staying in the non-AT state at the time of winning the AT lottery, the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 are won. In order to be able to do so, a winning auxiliary effect that notifies the correct batting order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT2 state, and in the RT2 state, replay 3 can be won when the batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are won. , The winning assistance effect that notifies the correct batting order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT3 state.

In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 performs a winning auxiliary effect of notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won in the AT preparation state, but is in the RT state when staying in the non-RT state in the AT preparation state. It is necessary to perform the stop operation in the wrong batting order in order to display the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank on the effective line in order to change the RT1 state. Therefore, if the AT lottery is won while staying in the non-RT state, the winning assistance effect is not executed when the batting order bell is won while staying in the non-RT state even in the AT preparation state. It has become like.

Then, the privilege granting means 175 shifts the effect state from the AT ready state to the AT state based on the shift of the RT state to the RT3 state when the AT ready state is set. The transition from the AT ready state to the AT state may be performed based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state when the AT ready state is set, or the AT ready state is set. If any of the batting order replays 7 to 12 is won in the RT2 state, the game may be shifted to the AT state at the end of the game.

In addition, when the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to a player's operation error in the AT state, a winning assistance effect is performed so that the RT state is returned to the RT3 state as long as the player stays in the AT state. Will be. However, if the RT state falls to the non-RT state in the AT state, in order to induce the RT state to the RT1 state, the batting order bell is won until the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line. There will be no winning assistance production.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets a value "50" corresponding to 50 times, which is the number of games that is the end condition of the AT state, in the AT end determination counter 1915 based on winning the AT lottery, and sets the AT state. Then, every time one assist time game is performed, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is changed to a constant value "1" corresponding to one assist time game. Perform a decrement update that subtracts. Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1915 is continued even in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to an operation error of the player.

Then, when the storage value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the initial value "0", the privilege granting means 175 determines that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the privilege granting means 175 changes the effect state to the AT end standby state. When the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, in the AT end standby state after the end of the AT state, the winning auxiliary effect at the time of winning the batting order bell by the effect control means 180 is not performed, so that a symbol combination indicating a winning of one small winning combination or an RT fluctuation blank is performed. The display of is likely to cause the RT state to fall into the non-RT state or the RT1 state. As the effect state after the end of the AT state, the non-AT state may be restored without providing the AT end standby state. As for the conditions for returning from the AT end waiting state to the non-AT state, for example, when the batting order bell is won, the stop operation is performed in the incorrect batting order, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line. Alternatively, one small batting order may be awarded.

Further, in the AT state, when the winning mode of the small winning combination obtained in the internal lottery is watermelon A, cherry, or a common bell, the privilege granting means 175 ATs according to the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery. An additional lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add a given added value to the value of the end determination counter 1915. In the present embodiment, the number of times the assist time game is executed in the advantageous section can be increased by adding the added value to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915.

In the additional lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911, and it is determined whether or not the additional lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the additional lottery table, either winning or losing is associated with each of the random number values associated with the winning mode that triggers the additional lottery, and the random number values acquired for the internal lottery are added. If the lottery table is associated with winning, it is determined that the additional lottery has been won. Further, in the present embodiment, an additional lottery table is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables according to the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is "watermelon A <cherry <common". The order is higher in the order of "bell". In addition, as the additional value when winning the additional lottery, a larger additional value is selected in the order of "cherry <common bell <watermelon A". The relationship between the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the additional lottery, and the relationship between the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery and the added value when winning the additional lottery are not limited to those described above. Can be determined. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery and the added value when the additional lottery is won do not change depending on the set value.

Further, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the privilege giving means 175 stops the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1915 based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) and interrupts the AT state. After the end of the BB state, the AT state is restarted as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the situation where the game is played in the AT state in the advantageous section, the return to the AT state is confirmed after the end of the BB state, so that the advantageous section Is to be maintained.

Further, even when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the AT state, the privilege giving means 175 is the AT end determination counter 1915 based on the winning of the regular bonus (RB) as in the case where the big bonus (BB) is won. The decrement update of the above is stopped, the AT state is interrupted, and the AT state is restarted as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state after the end of the RB state. In this embodiment, since the winning probability of the regular big bonus (RB) fluctuates according to the set value, the winning of the regular bonus (RB) and the start and end of the RB state are related to the start and end of the advantageous section. If the regular bonus (RB) is won in the situation where the game is played in the AT state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state, and it is advantageous even after the end of the RB state. The advantageous section is maintained unless the end condition of the section is satisfied.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets a predetermined value "32" corresponding to 32 times, which is the number of games that makes the lottery state of the AT lottery variable, in the probability fluctuation counter 1916 when shifting to the AT state, and AT. In the game in the AT end waiting state or the non-AT state after the end of the state, each time the game is played, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is 1 The decrement update is performed by subtracting a fixed value "1" corresponding to the number of games.

Then, the privilege giving means 175 fixes the lottery state of the AT lottery in the low probability state in the normal section, while the RT state when the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is not the initial value (for example, 0) in the advantageous section. The lottery state of the AT lottery is set according to the above, and when the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the low probability state, and the RT state is the RT2 state or the RT3 state. If any of the above, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the high probability state.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value (for example, 0), the advantageous section ends, but in the game until the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, AT When the lottery is won and the state shifts to the AT state, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is set to the predetermined value "32" again when shifting to the AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the game until the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the decrement update of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is interrupted, and the big bonus (BB state is reached until the end of the BB state. The value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 at the time of winning the bonus (BB) is retained, but if the AT lottery is won based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), the AT preparation state will be changed after the end of the BB state. If the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is set to the predetermined value "32" again when the AT state is entered, and the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is not won, the BB After the end of the state, the advantageous section ends as the effect state returns to the non-AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the game until the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, the decrement update of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is interrupted, and the regular is regular until the end of the RB state. The value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 at the time of winning the bonus (RB) is retained, and after the end of the RB state, the production state returns to the non-AT state and the probability fluctuation counter is based on the value at the time of interruption due to the winning of the regular bonus (RB). The 1916 decrement update resumes.

Further, the privilege giving means 175 performs an initialization process for initializing the control information related to the effect state based on the end of the advantageous section. In particular, in the present embodiment, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process, and the values of the AT end determination counter 1915 and the probability fluctuation counter 1916 are initialized to the initial values (for example, 0) and set to the normal section. It is supposed to return.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, there is also a case of shifting to the internal middle waiting section, and the privilege granting means 175 has won the AT lottery in the normal section. When the advantageous section is started based on, but the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is won, but the state where the big bonus (BB) is won is carried over without winning the big bonus (BB). Starts an advantageous section via the internal waiting section. In the present embodiment, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end waiting state can be set only when the section is advantageous. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the winning of the regular bonus (RB) does not trigger the execution of the AT lottery, so even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus ( Even if the regular bonus (RB) is carried over without winning the RB), it will not shift to the internal waiting section.

In the present embodiment, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and in the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 is played every time one game is played. Increment update is performed by adding a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game to the value of, and the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value (for example, 1500) (the value of the clear counter is ". The end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied based on "1501" (an example of a specific value). In the present embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is updated after all the rotating reels in each game are stopped. However, if it is determined in advance in each game, the clear counter 1917 is updated at any time. It may be performed, and for example, the game start operation for the start lever SL may be used as an update trigger. Further, in the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 is updated even if the transition to each effect state such as the AT preparation state or the AT preparation state occurs, unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. If you win the AT lottery that was held when the big bonus (BB) was won, but the big bonus (BB) does not win and the advantageous section starts via the internal middle waiting section, the internal middle waiting section In, the clear counter 1917 is not updated, and the update of the clear counter 1917 is started at the same time as the start of the advantageous section.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the initialization process is executed at the end of the advantageous section to return to the normal section. Therefore, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value while staying in the AT state, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0). Further, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value while staying in the AT preparation state, the AT preparation state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, when the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0) and the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value while staying in the AT end waiting state, the non-AT is not used. Even if the condition for returning to the state is not satisfied, the AT end waiting state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, and the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is the initial value (for example, 0). Is initialized to.

In the initialization process, not only the above-mentioned effect state, AT end determination counter 1915, and probability fluctuation counter 1916 are initialized, but also the clear counter 1917 is initialized. Specifically, the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value. It is initialized to (for example, 0). Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied even when the effect state returns to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state, and the initialization process is executed with the end of the advantageous section.

Further, the privilege giving means 175 wins the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) in the normal section, and even when the big bonus (BB) wins, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1). Set to to generate an advantageous section. However, in the present embodiment, since the big bonus (BB) cannot be won unless the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing, the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the big bonus (BB) is won. If the big bonus (BB) does not win even if the AT lottery based on is won, the section shifts to the internal waiting section, and the advantageous section starts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). .. On the other hand, even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, if the AT lottery is not won, the advantageous section does not occur, and even if the game state is the BB established state or the BB state. The normal section is maintained, and if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed, and the normal section is maintained even if the game state is the RB establishment state or the RB state. Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the RB established state or the BB established state, or when the gaming state is the RB state or the BB state, the AT lottery is not executed even in the normal section. .. Further, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the BB state shifted by the big bonus (BB) is set to the advantageous section in principle, and the regular bonus (RB) is set in the advantageous section. If a player wins, the RB state that shifts due to the regular bonus (RB) is set to an advantageous section in principle. That is, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the BB state is set as the advantageous section only when the AT lottery held at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, while in the advantageous section. When the big bonus (BB) is won, the BB state to be transferred by winning the big bonus (BB) is set as the advantageous section unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In addition, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, it will not shift to the advantageous section, and if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the end condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied. As long as the RB state shifts by winning the regular bonus (RB) is set as an advantageous section. Even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the big bonus (BB) is won, the big bonus (BB) is performed. The BB state that shifts by winning a prize in) is set to the normal section, and even if the BB state shifts to the BB state in the advantageous section, the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the end condition of the BB state is satisfied. In that case, after the initialization process, the game state is changed to the BB state and the normal section is switched to. Even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, if the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) The RB state that shifts due to the winning of is set to the normal section, and even if the RB state shifts to the RB state in the advantageous section, the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the end condition of the RB state is satisfied. In that case, after the initialization process, the game state is changed to the RB state and the normal section is switched to.

Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the AT lottery is prohibited in the case of the internal waiting section, and each lottery is not executed even when the winning mode that triggers the execution of the AT lottery is obtained in the internal lottery. It has become. However, the AT lottery may be executed even in the internal waiting section, but in that case, it is preferable to invalidate the result of the AT lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and the BB is in the established state, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is performed. In this case, the advantageous section is performed. If the big bonus (BB) that has already been won in the game of the normal section after the end cannot be won, the winning of the big bonus (BB) does not involve the transition to the advantageous section, so it is normal. The section is maintained and does not shift to the internal waiting section.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and stays in the BB state, the advantageous section is ended regardless of whether or not the end condition of the BB state is satisfied. The initialization process is performed to shift to the normal section, but since the AT lottery is not performed in the BB state in the normal section, the advantageous section ends in the situation of staying in the BB state. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state after the end of the BB state is always the non-AT state. Since the game state is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, if the initialization process is performed while staying in the BB state, it is digested by the time the initialization process is performed. Information such as the number of payouts in the BB state game is not initialized by the initialization process, and the game in the BB state is performed until the end condition of the BB state is satisfied.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and stays in the RB state, the advantageous section is ended regardless of whether or not the end condition of the RB state is satisfied. The initialization process is performed to shift to the normal section, but since the AT lottery is not performed in the RB state in the normal section, the advantageous section ends in the situation of staying in the RB state. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state after the end of the RB state is always the non-AT state. Since the game state is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, if the initialization process is performed while staying in the RB state, it is digested by the time the initialization process is performed. Information such as the number of payouts in the RB state game is not initialized by the initialization process, and the game in the RB state is performed until the end condition of the RB state is satisfied.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section is started by winning the AT lottery in the normal section, the effect state is set to the AT state in the advantageous section, and the assist time game is performed, but the AT state ends. Even so, the advantageous section is maintained until the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916, which starts counting after the end of the AT state, reaches the initial value. That is, in the present embodiment, since the advantageous section continues even after the end of the AT state, there is a case where the effect state stays in the advantageous section even if the effect state returns to the non-AT state.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 lights the LED built in the section indicator SEC based on the start of the advantageous section to notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section, and based on the end of the advantageous section. The LED built in the section display SEC is controlled to be turned off. In the present embodiment, the LED built in the section indicator SEC is turned off in the normal section and the internal middle standby section. Therefore, by checking the lighting state of the section indicator SEC, it becomes an advantageous section. It is possible to judge whether or not you are staying.

In the present embodiment, when the advantageous section is started, the LED built in the section indicator SEC lights up to immediately notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section. From the start of the game until the predetermined number of games (for example, 32 times) is exhausted, the non-notification section that does not notify that the section is advantageous may be set. Further, the section display SEC does not need to be provided exclusively as in the present embodiment, and is a credit display for displaying the number of medals credits, a payout display for displaying the number of medals paid out, etc. in the game information display unit DS. It may be used in combination. For example, when a credit display or a payout display is composed of a 7-segment display, it is usually indicated whether or not the person is staying in an advantageous section by switching on / off the dot display for displaying the decimal point and the like. The dot display unit may be turned off in the section and the dot display unit may be turned on in the advantageous section to notify the advantageous section.

The effect control means 180 uses a display effect and a sound device 340 (an example of the effect device) performed by using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 1918. Controls the sound production to be performed. For example, the lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a game event such as inserting a medal, operating the bet button B0, the start lever SL, the stop buttons B1 to B3, or changing the game state, or displaying the liquid crystal display LCD. By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited and the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed according to the progress of the game. The content of the effect executed in the game is determined by referring to the effect lottery table stored in the sub-lottery table storage means 1919 according to the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like.

Then, when the effect state is the AT preparation state and the AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, and displays the winning auxiliary effect of assisting the winning of eight small winning combinations by the display device 330 or sound. Control the device 340 to execute. However, even if the production state is the AT preparation state, if the RT state is the non-RT state, or if the batting order bell is won in the AT state, one small winning combination is won due to a player's operation error and the RT state is non-RT. If you fall into the state, even if the batting order bell is won, the winning assistance effect will not be performed until the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line in order to guide the game state to the RT1 state. There is.

Further, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 and replay 2 in the situation where the RT state is staying in the RT1 state when the effect state is the AT preparation state. In the situation where the display device 330 and the sound device 340 are executed to assist the winning of the batting order and the RT state is staying in the RT2 state, the correct batting order is notified at the time of winning of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 are controlled to execute the winning assistance effect that assists the winning of the replay 3.

Further, in the effect control means 180, even if the effect state is the AT state, a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line due to an operation error of the player at the time of winning the batting order bell, and the RT state falls to the RT1 state. If so, on condition that the player stays in the AT state, the display device 330 displays a winning assistance effect that notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 and assists the winning of the replay 2. And the sound device 340 are controlled to execute. In the AT state, if the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state and stays in the RT2 state in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state, the condition is that the RT state stays in the AT state. At the time of winning the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12, the display device 330 and the sound device 340 are controlled to notify the correct batting order and assist the winning of the replay 3.

The functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program for operating a computer as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. Further, in the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240, etc. virtualize their functions with respect to operating means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), a touch panel, or a controller. It can be realized by allocating to. Further, in the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit HP, and the like are not essential constituent requirements, and these device units virtually function their functions by controlling the image displayed and output on the display (display device 330). It can be realized.

2. 2. Method of the present embodiment In the present embodiment, the game section can be transferred between a plurality of types of game sections including a normal section and an advantageous section, and the effect state is a non-AT state in any of the game sections. The AT lottery is performed, but in the normal section, the winning probability of the AT lottery is fixed at the initial probability, and in the advantageous section, the winning probability of the AT lottery is changed under a predetermined condition.

Specifically, the production state is always set to the non-AT state in the normal section, and the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, but the lottery state of the AT lottery in the normal section is always low probability. It is set to the state, and the winning probability is fixed at about 1/256. In the present embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the advantageous section starts, and the effect state can be set to the AT state in the advantageous section. However, even if the AT state ends, the advantageous section is immediately set. It does not end, and the advantageous section continues until the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value or the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, and the advantageous section continues even if the effect state falls to the non-AT state. Situations occur where you are staying in. That is, in the present embodiment, there are a case of staying in the normal section and a case of staying in the advantageous section in the non-AT state. Even when the production state is the non-AT state while staying in the advantageous section in this way, the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, but unlike the normal section, the lottery state of the AT lottery is a low probability state. The AT lottery is performed with a winning probability of about 1/64, which is higher than the low probability state in the high probability state. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal section is a section in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is fixed, and the advantageous section is a section in which the winning probability of the AT lottery fluctuates.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the advantageous section ends when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 becomes the threshold value when the effect state is the AT state. Even if it does not reach, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. Even if the effect state is the AT preparation state, if the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the AT preparation state is forcibly terminated without shifting to the AT state, and the effect state is performed by the initialization process. Is initialized to the non-AT state. That is, in the present embodiment, the situation in which it is advantageous for the player to perform the initialization process based on the value of the clear counter 1917 does not continue for a long period of time. The threshold value of the clear counter 1917 can be set so that the number of medals acquired (difference between the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out) in the advantageous section does not exceed a predetermined number, and in the present embodiment, the advantageous section The number of medals won in the above is set not to exceed 3000. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 1917 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated by 3000 sheets / inclination value. Here, the inclination value is the expected value of the net increase in the number of medals per game due to the assist time game and the bonus game, and in the present embodiment, the highest payout rate among the six-step setting values of settings 1 to 6. In setting 6 where the expected value is high, the inclination value is two. Therefore, the number of games played in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1500 times (= 3000 sheets / 2 sheets), which is equivalent to 1500 times after setting "1" in the clear counter 1917 with the transition to the advantageous section. A threshold is set so that the advantageous section ends when the number of games is counted. In this way, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit number of medals and the inclination value, and can be arbitrarily set depending on these designs. The threshold value of the clear counter 1917 can be any value as long as the maximum number of games played in the advantageous section is 1500 times or less, and may be a fixed value regardless of the inclination value.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the game state is the BB state, it is possible to perform a bonus game in which the winning probability of a small winning combination is higher than that in the normal state, and the effect state is AT in the advantageous section. When the batting order is in the state, the correct batting order is notified when the batting order bell is won, so that it is possible to perform an assist time game in which it is easier to win 8 small wins than in the non-AT state. The bonus game and the assist time game in the AT state in the advantageous section provide the game property that the player increases the medals on hand. Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value while staying in the BB state in the advantageous section, regardless of whether or not the end condition is satisfied for the BB state. Instead, the advantageous section is terminated and the initialization process is executed to return to the normal section in which the assist time game cannot be performed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the continuation of the advantageous section in which the assist time game can be performed is limited, and particularly when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, even in the middle of the BB state. Since the initialization process is performed to return to the normal section, it is possible to prevent an excessive number of medals from being obtained in the advantageous section, which greatly exceeds the expected value of 3000 medals.

In particular, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, an AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to start the advantageous section, and the AT lottery performed when the big bonus (BB) is won is determined. If you do not win, the normal section will be maintained from the time you win the big bonus (BB) until the end of the BB state that shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB), and when you win the big bonus (BB) If the AT lottery is won, the advantage section is started and the clear counter 1917 is updated with the winning of the big bonus (BB). That is, in the present embodiment, the winning of the big bonus (BB) related to the transition to the advantageous section where the assist time game can be performed is a clear counter in the BB state where the transition is made by winning the big bonus (BB). By updating the value of 1917, it becomes possible to appropriately adjust the amount of medals acquired in the advantageous section and suppress the shooting property.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section continues even after the winning of the big bonus (BB), and the BB state that shifts by the big bonus (BB) is in principle. The value of the clear counter 1917 is updated by staying in the advantageous section. In this way, the medals acquired in the BB state, which is transferred by winning the big bonus (BB) won in the advantageous section, are also included in the medals acquired in the advantageous section. It is possible to prevent an excessive number of medals from being acquired, which greatly exceeds the expected acquisition value of 3000 medals.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the game state is the normal state, an internal lottery targeting the big bonus (BB) is performed, and as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the big bonus (BB) is won. Based on this, it shifts to the BB establishment state, and based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), it shifts to the BB state. However, as shown in FIG. 16, when the gaming state is the normal state in the normal section. While performing the AT lottery, when the game state is the BB establishment state or the BB state, the AT lottery is not executed even in the normal section. For example, in the BB establishment state, the winning mode of cherry, watermelon A, or common bell may be obtained by the internal lottery, but even if these winning modes are obtained, the gaming state is the BB establishment state. As a result, the AT lottery will not be executed, and in the BB state, none of the winning modes of cherry, watermelon A, common bell, and big bonus (BB) will be obtained, so the AT lottery will not be executed. Absent. That is, after the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, if the AT lottery held at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is not won, the winning big bonus (BB) is won and big. In a game machine that can perform assist time games while providing a big bonus (BB) as a lottery target, because it is not possible to obtain an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section until the transition BB state is completed by winning a bonus (BB). It is possible to give the player a motivation to positively win the winning big bonus (BB). In addition, in the BB state, in order to perform a bonus game with an increased probability of winning a small winning combination, if the AT lottery is performed depending on the winning mode of some small winning combinations, the AT lottery is performed even in the BB state in the normal section. The winning probability of the AT lottery will fluctuate substantially, but in the present embodiment, when the game state is the BB state, the AT lottery is not performed even in the normal section. Therefore, the fairness of the game can be ensured by keeping the winning probability of the AT lottery in the normal section constant.

In the BB establishment state, the AT lottery may not be performed because the winning mode that triggers the AT lottery cannot be obtained. For example, the AT lottery is performed only when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state. With such a configuration, in the BB establishment state, the AT lottery can be prevented because the winning mode in which the big bonus (BB) is won is not obtained. Further, in the BB state, there is a case where a winning mode that can be obtained even in the normal state is obtained, but since the gaming state is not the normal state (because it is the BB state), the AT lottery may not be performed. For example, an internal lottery table is provided so that the winning mode of watermelon A, cherry, and common bell can be obtained even in the BB state, and even if the watermelon A, cherry, and common bell are won in the internal lottery in the BB state, the game state is normal. It is possible to prevent the AT lottery from being performed because it is not in a state.

Further, even in the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated in the BB establishment state, but it is preferable not to perform the AT lottery or the additional lottery. In this way, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 will continue to be updated without being able to receive the AT lottery or the additional lottery until the big bonus (BB) is won. It is possible to give the player a motivation to positively win the winning big bonus (BB).

Further, in the present embodiment, even if the game state is in the middle of the BB state based on the end of the advantageous section, the section is defined as a section in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is fixed while suppressing the shooting property by performing the initialization process. It is possible to attract the interest of the player by providing a new game property of providing a section in which the winning probability of the AT lottery fluctuates.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is executed when staying in the normal section in the normal state, but in the normal state, the type of replay and the replay to be drawn according to the RT state While the winning probabilities are different, the winning probabilities of small roles (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, watermelon A, watermelon B, watermelon C, cherry, common bell) and big bonus (BB) fluctuate in RT status. It is constant regardless of the RT state, and the winning mode that the winning probability does not change depending on the fluctuation of the RT state is adopted as the execution trigger of the AT lottery, especially in the normal section, watermelon A, cherry, common bell, or big in the internal lottery. The AT lottery is performed when the bonus (BB) is won. That is, in the present embodiment, in the normal section, the AT lottery can be performed only when the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the fluctuation of the RT state is obtained, so that any RT state can be obtained. Even if a player is replaced during the stay, the opportunity to receive the AT lottery can be given fairly, ensuring fairness when the player is replaced in the normal section. can do.

Further, in the present embodiment, the set value can be set between the set values of 6 stages of setting 1 to setting 6, and the probability obtained by the internal lottery for some winning modes varies according to the set value. However, the winning modes of watermelon A, cherry, common bell, and big bonus (BB), which are the winning modes that trigger the execution of the AT lottery in the normal section, are the winning modes in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value. It has become. In particular, in the present embodiment, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C are provided as a winning mode of the watermelon including the three small wins, and when the three small wins are won, as shown in FIG. 17, the first reel R1 Watermelon symbol A "WMA" and watermelon symbol B "WMB" are configured on the downward-sloping invalid line (the line not used for winning judgment) consisting of the upper row, the middle row of the second reel R2, and the lower row of the third reel R3. The right-down watermelon alignment stop mode in which the symbol combination is displayed appears, but for watermelon A, the winning probability is the same for all the set values, while for watermelon B and watermelon C, it is set. The winning probability fluctuates according to the value.

That is, in the present embodiment, the probability that the watermelon matching stop mode appears varies depending on the set value, but even when the watermelon matching stop mode appears, the AT lottery is performed only when the watermelon A is won. Therefore, even if the appearance rate of 3 small wins is changed according to the set value, the AT lottery is performed with a certain probability without being affected by the set value in the normal section, and the advantageous section in any set value. It is possible to change the winning expectation of the AT lottery in the normal section at the time of winning the three small wins according to the set value while giving the same opportunity to shift to. Further, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the AT state in the advantageous section, the additional lottery is performed when the watermelon A is won, but the additional lottery is not performed when the watermelon B or C is won. That is, in the present embodiment, the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is set as the winning mode that triggers the execution of the additional lottery. Therefore, in any set value, the opportunity for the additional lottery is provided in the advantageous section. It is designed to be given equally.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the probability of obtaining a winning mode including three small wins in the internal lottery is changed according to the set value, and the medal acquisition performance related to the assist time game is set to the set value. The appearance of the right-down watermelon line-up stop mode, which indicates the winning of three small wins, leads to the expectation for the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section and the expectation for the addition in the AT state, and it goes down to the right. It is possible to realize a game specification in which the winning expectation of the AT lottery or the additional lottery differs depending on the set value when the stop mode of the watermelon matching appears.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the expected value for winning the three small wins changes according to the set value, the difference in the winning probability according to the set value of watermelon B or watermelon C is the difference in the winning probability for each set value. While affecting the rate, the winning probability of Watermelon A does not change due to changes in the set value, but it functions as an opportunity to execute the AT lottery and the additional lottery. That is, according to the present embodiment, the probability of obtaining a part of the winning modes varies depending on the set value, but the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is changed from the normal section to the advantageous section. By making it an opportunity to execute the AT lottery related to the transition and the additional lottery to increase the number of executions of the assist time game in the advantageous section, the ball output rate is changed according to the set value from the normal section. It is possible to realize a specification in which the winning probability of the AT lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section and the additional lottery for increasing the number of executions of the assist time game in the advantageous section is constant.

In the present embodiment, the probability that the winning mode of the watermelon is obtained increases from the setting 1 to the setting 6, and the higher the setting value, the higher the appearance rate of the watermelon matching stop mode indicating the winning of the watermelon. The winning probability of Watermelon A, which triggers the execution of the AT lottery and the additional lottery, is constant regardless of the set value, and the winning probability of the AT lottery and the additional lottery based on the winning of the watermelon A is also constant regardless of the set value. As a result, the lower the set value, the higher the probability of winning the AT lottery or the additional lottery when the stop mode of watermelon matching appears.

However, unlike the present embodiment, the higher the set value, the higher the expectation of winning the AT lottery or the additional lottery. For example, as shown in FIG. Cherry A, cherry B, and cherry C are provided as winning modes of the cherry including the winning combination (small winning combination 7), and these are set as winning modes in the internal lottery in the normal state, the RB establishment state, and the BB establishment state. .. Since the winning mode of Cherry A, Cherry B, and Cherry C is a mode in which a two-card small winning combination and a one-card small winning combination are duplicated, when these winning modes are obtained, the two-card small winning combination is given priority. The stop position of each reel is determined so that one small winning combination may win if the two small winning combination cannot be won.

Then, in the normal state, the RB establishment state, and the BB establishment state, the probability that the winning mode of each cherry is obtained by the internal lottery does not change. In this case, while Cherry A is set as a winning mode that triggers the execution of the AT lottery in the normal section and the additional lottery in the advantageous section, Cherry B and Cherry C are not set as the trigger for executing the AT lottery and the additional lottery. As shown in FIG. 18B, the winning probability of cherry A does not change at any set value, and the winning probability of cherry B and cherry C changes according to the set value. Configure to. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 18B, the higher the set value, the lower the probability that one of the cherries will be won in the internal lottery. As a result, the higher the set value, the more two small wins will be won. It is possible to increase the probability of winning the AT lottery in the normal section and the additional lottery in the advantageous section at the time.

In the present embodiment, the winning expectation of the AT lottery or the additional lottery at the time of winning a predetermined role whose winning probability changes according to the set value changes, but it is not always the case of the AT lottery or the additional lottery. It is not necessary to configure the winning expectation to change.

For example, a batting order unquestioned bell is provided as a winning mode in which eight small wins (small win 6) and two small wins (small win 8) are won in duplicate, and the winning probability of the batting order unquestioned bell is determined according to the set value. The higher the set value, the higher the probability of getting a batting order bell in the internal lottery. If the batting order bell is won, no AT lottery or additional lottery will be held, and eight small wins will always be won regardless of which mode the stop operation is performed. In other words, depending on the batting order bell, two small wins will not win. On the other hand, for cherries in which two small wins are won independently (if the winning mode allows two small wins to be won, it is not necessary to win alone), the winning probability does not change depending on the set value. In the normal section, the AT lottery is performed when the cherry is won, and in the advantageous section, the additional lottery is performed when the cherry is won. In this way, as a winning mode including two small wins in the internal lottery, when a batting order-independent bell whose winning probability changes according to the set value and a cherry whose winning probability does not change depending on the set value are provided, eight pieces are provided. When a small batting order is won, it is not possible to expect to win an AT lottery or an additional lottery, and when a two-card small batting order is won, it is possible to expect to win an AT lottery or an additional lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of bonuses are provided, and some bonuses can be an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section when a prize is won, but the remaining bonuses are not an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section even if a prize is won. .. Specifically, a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB) are provided, and when the regular bonus (RB) is won, the AT lottery is not performed in the normal section, and when the big bonus (BB) is won, the AT is in the normal section. A lottery was held, and by winning the AT lottery, it was configured to shift to an advantageous section. In this way, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed even in the normal section in the RB establishment state or the RB state, so that the regular bonus (RB) won in the normal section is Even if you win, the RB state that shifts by winning the regular bonus (RB) is set to the normal section without shifting to the advantageous section, and if you win the big bonus (BB) and the AT lottery in the normal section, The BB state that shifts due to the winning of the big bonus (BB) is set to the advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, since the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) fluctuates according to the set value, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state. However, if there is no setting difference in the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB), the winning or winning of the regular bonus (RB) in the advantageous section is the end condition of the advantageous section and the RB state. Can also be configured to always set to the normal section.

Then, as in the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of bonuses are provided and some bonuses may be an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section, the remaining bonuses may not be an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section. As shown in 8 (B), for the regular bonus (RB) that does not trigger the transition to the advantageous section, the winning probability in the internal lottery may change depending on the set value, but the trigger to shift to the advantageous section. With regard to the big bonus (BB) that can be a bonus, by preventing the winning probability in the internal lottery from fluctuating depending on the set value, the winning probability differs according to the set value set for the bonus, and the ball is issued according to the set value. It is possible to prevent a setting difference in the transition rate to the advantageous section while changing the rate. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the regular bonus (RB) having a setting difference in the winning probability is won, the additional lottery is not performed in the advantageous section, and the additional lottery is obtained when the winning mode with no setting difference in the winning probability is obtained. Therefore, it is possible to give the opportunity of addition evenly in the advantageous section regardless of the set value, and to prevent the degree of advantage related to the assist time game from changing according to the set value. it can.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) provided as bonuses are individually won is described as an example, but the bonus and the small winning combination overlap. There are multiple types of winning modes that include the same bonus, such as winning modes that are won in combination with bonuses and replays, and some of the winning modes that include these same bonuses. For, the winning probability changes according to the set value, and for the remaining winning modes, the winning probability does not change depending on the set value, and the higher the set value, the higher the winning probability of the bonus. You may. Even in this case, if a bonus winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is obtained, an AT lottery or an additional lottery can be executed, while a bonus winning mode in which the winning probability changes according to the set value. If the result is obtained, the AT lottery and the additional lottery will not be executed. In this way, the winning mode of the bonus with different settings does not affect the medal acquisition performance related to the assist time game, but the medal acquisition performance of the bonus itself affects the medal acquisition performance of the game machine. A setting difference can be provided. For example, a single winning mode in which the regular bonus (RB) is won independently and a duplicate winning mode in which the regular bonus (RB) is won in duplicate with the normal replay 1 are provided, and the single winning mode is the winning probability according to the set value. However, the AT lottery and the additional lottery will not be executed, but the duplicate winning mode will be a regular bonus if the winning probability does not change depending on the set value and the AT lottery and the additional lottery will be executed. While changing the winning probability of RB) according to the set value, a lottery related to the transition to the advantageous section and a lottery to increase the number of executions of the assist time game in the advantageous section are executed in the winning mode including the regular bonus (RB). You will be able to do it.

Further, in the present embodiment, the section indicator SEC is provided so that it is possible to identify whether or not the user is staying in the advantageous section by notifying the advantageous section in the normal section and notifying the advantageous section in the advantageous section. Specifically, by making the lighting state of the LED built in the section indicator SEC different from that of the normal section in the advantageous section, it is notified that the user is staying in the advantageous section, and the AT lottery can be executed in the advantageous section. In the situation, it is possible to grasp whether the player is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being replaced in the advantageous section where the winning probability of the AT lottery fluctuates, and to ensure the fairness of the game.

In particular, in the present embodiment, when the AT lottery held at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, the advantageous section is continued after the end of the BB state that shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). In the BB state, it is possible to identify whether the player is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section by the lighting state of the section indicator SEC. Therefore, the assist time game is performed after the end of the BB state. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the players are replaced at the end of the BB state even though the game can be performed, and the fairness of the game can be ensured.

Further, in the present embodiment, the parameter (control information) indicating the game section is not provided, and the game section is determined based on the control information such as the value of the clear counter 1917. Specifically, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and the value of the clear counter is updated in the advantageous section to specify the value of the clear counter. Based on reaching the value, the advantageous section is terminated and returned to the normal section, the value of the clear counter is initialized to the initial value when returning from the advantageous section to the normal section, and the clear counter is used in the game section other than the advantageous section. Since 1917 is not updated, the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0" in the normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is different from the initial value "0" in the advantageous section, and the value is cleared in the internal middle standby section. The value of the counter 1917 becomes a predetermined value (for example, 1), and the winning information of the AT lottery generated in association with the winning of the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is held in the internal middle waiting section. Therefore, when the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0", it is determined that the game section is the normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is "1", and the big bonus (BB) is won. If the winning information of the AT lottery that occurs with the winning of the AT lottery that is sometimes performed is held, it is determined that the game section is the internal middle waiting section, and the value of the clear counter 1917 is "1". , If the winning information of the AT lottery generated in connection with the winning of the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is not retained, or if the value of the clear counter 1917 is larger than "1". It is determined that the game section is an advantageous section. Further, in the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 is different from the initial value "0" and the gaming state is not the BB establishment state, it is determined that the gaming section is an advantageous section, and the section indicator is used. On condition that the LED built in the SEC is not lit, the section indicator SEC is turned on to start the advantageous section notification to notify that the SEC is staying in the advantageous section, and the value of the clear counter 1917 is set. The value is different from the initial value "0", and when the game state is the BB establishment state, the game section is advantageous because there are a situation where the game section is an advantageous section and a situation where the internal middle standby section is. It is possible to determine that it is not a section and to prevent the process of turning on the section display SEC even if the LED built in the section display SEC is off.

It should be noted that the internal lottery is not limited to the case where the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and when the game state is the normal state in the game in the normal section. When the AT lottery performed based on the winning of the common bell, watermelon A, or cherry is won, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the AT lottery is won. If you set and start an advantageous section and win the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery, the clear counter 1917 will be used in the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won. The value may be set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) to start the advantageous section. In this way, even if the AT lottery held at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won and the section shifts to the advantageous section via the internal middle waiting section, the clear counter 1917 is used in the internal middle waiting section. Since the value of is maintained as the initial value, the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0", and the AT lottery that occurs when the AT lottery that is performed when the big bonus (BB) is won is won. If the winning information of is not retained, it is judged that the game section is a normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0", and the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) If the winning information of the AT lottery generated with the winning is held, it is determined that the game section is the internal middle standby section, and if the value of the clear counter 1917 is not the initial value "0", the game section Can be judged to be an advantageous section. In such an embodiment, it is possible to start or end the advantageous section notification that notifies that the user is staying in the advantageous section based on the value of the clear counter 1917. Specifically, when a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 with the transition to the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1917 becomes larger than the initial value "0" (clear). The advantageous section notification is started by turning on the LED built in the section indicator SEC based on the value of the counter 1917 (the value is not the initial value "0"), and the advantageous section ends and shifts to the normal section. As a result, when the value of the clear counter 1917 is initialized to the initial value "0", the value of the clear counter 1917 becomes the initial value "0" (the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0". It is possible to end the advantageous section notification by turning off the LED built in the section display SEC based on the above.

Further, when the winning of the big bonus (BB) is not triggered by the execution of the AT lottery, or when the bonus is not provided as a combination, as shown in FIG. 19, it is not necessary to provide the internal middle waiting section as the game section. In the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 can be set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) to start the advantageous section. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 19, the game section shifts between the normal section and the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1917 becomes the initial value in the normal section, and the value of the clear counter 1917 becomes the value in the advantageous section. Since it is a value other than the initial value, when the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0", it is determined that the game section is a normal section, and when the value of the clear counter 1917 is not the initial value "0". It can be determined that the game section is an advantageous section. In such an embodiment as well, the advantageous section notification can be started or terminated based on the value of the clear counter 1917 as in the above embodiment.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the game section is determined based on the control information such as the value of the clear counter 1917, the memory usage can be suppressed as compared with the case where the parameter indicating the game section is provided. ..

In the present embodiment, the lottery states of the AT lottery are set to two types, a low probability state and a high probability state, but the lottery states of the AT lottery are set to three or more types, and a plurality of types of lottery states that are not selected in the normal section in the advantageous section May be variable between. For example, in addition to the high probability state, an ultra-high probability state (for example, the winning probability is about 1/32) that makes it easier to win the AT lottery than the high probability state can be provided, and the high probability state is obtained by lottery or the like in the advantageous section. And the ultra-high probability state may be switched.

Further, in the advantageous section, instead of setting the lottery state of the AT lottery according to the RT state, the lottery state transition lottery may be performed to change the lottery state. For example, when the cherry, watermelon A, and common bell are won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select a low probability state or a high probability state. Further, the lottery state may be changed according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, the high probability state may be set when the cherry, watermelon A, and common bell are won, and the low probability state may be set when the common bell is lost. Further, when the batting order bell is won, if the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order, the high probability state may be set, and if the stop operation is performed in the incorrect batting order, the low probability state may be set. In addition, as a high probability state, the first high probability state that is easy to win when the cherry is won, the second high probability state that is easy to win when the watermelon A is won, the third high probability state that is easy to win when the common bell is won, etc. are provided to win the cherry. Sometimes it shifts to the first high probability state, it shifts to the second high probability state when Watermelon A is won, it shifts to the third high probability state when the common bell is won, and if the same lottery opportunity continues, it is easy to win the AT lottery. Such a configuration may be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the initialization process is executed when the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value, but the AT lottery is won after the end of the AT state without providing the probability fluctuation counter 1916. The initialization process may be executed on the condition that the state has changed to a predetermined RT state.

For example, when the transition to the non-RT state is set as the condition for the initialization process, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state, the transition to the non-AT state is performed, but it is cleared. If the counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous section continues, and the initialization process is executed when the player shifts to the non-RT state by winning a single combination without winning the AT lottery. In this way, even after the end of the AT state, if the non-AT state and the RT1 state are present, a situation of staying in the advantageous section can be generated.

Further, for example, when the transition to the RT1 state is set as the condition of the initialization process, when one winning combination wins in the AT end standby state, the transition to the non-AT state is performed, but the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value. If not, the advantageous section continues, and the initialization process is executed when the RT1 state is entered because the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line without winning the AT lottery. In this way, even after the end of the AT state, if the non-AT state and the non-RT state are present, a situation of staying in the advantageous section can be generated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is subtracted by a fixed value each time one game is played, and the number of games is counted, but the number of transitions to the AT state is counted. It may be a thing. For example, when the AT lottery in the normal section is won, "3" is set as the number of times that the AT state can be shifted to, and when the AT state ends, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is equivalent to the transition to the AT state for one time. The constant value "1" is subtracted. In this way, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 reaches the initial value "0" at the end of the third AT state, the advantageous section ends, the initialization process is executed by the end of the advantageous section, and the AT state is entered three times. Until the transition, it is possible to generate a situation of staying in an advantageous section even in a non-AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the additional lottery is won in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is added, but when the additional lottery is won, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is added. May be done. By doing so, the period until the initialization process is executed after the end of the AT state is extended, so that the game specification can easily obtain an opportunity to shift to the AT state again. In addition to the additional lottery for adding to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (hereinafter, the first additional lottery), the additional lottery for adding to the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 (hereinafter, the second additional lottery) is performed. The winning mode in which the first additional lottery is performed and the winning mode in which the second additional lottery is performed may be the same or different.

Further, in the present embodiment, the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is reset to a predetermined value every time the state shifts to the AT state, but the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916 is the winning of the AT lottery in the advantageous section. The update may be interrupted at times, and the value may be carried over so that the update is restarted from the value at the time of interruption after the end of the AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell or batting order replay is won in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won) or the batting order replay (when the batting order replay is won) You may control to display the game information indicating the correct batting order, the game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or the game information indicating the winning combination on the game information display unit DS according to the type of. In this case, the game information can be displayed on the game information display unit DS, such as a credit display for displaying the number of medals credits or a payout display for displaying the number of medals paid out, while the reels are rotating. When the credit display and the payout display are also used as the instruction display for displaying the operation instruction information related to the stop operation, the section display SEC may also be used. For example, when a credit display or a payout display is composed of a 7-segment display, the dot display unit that displays operation instruction information and displays the decimal point, etc., is lit according to the 7-segment display mode that displays numbers, etc. The light may be turned off to indicate whether or not the user is staying in the advantageous section.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery and the additional lottery are determined by using the random number value for the internal lottery, but when a predetermined lottery result is obtained in the internal lottery, the AT lottery and the additional lottery are used. It is also possible to acquire a dedicated random number value and determine whether or not to win by referring to a lottery table in which either the winning or losing is associated with the acquired random number value.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1915 is decrement-updated in the AT state, but it may be incrementally updated. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value "0", and in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set every time one game is played. The increment update is performed by adding a constant value "1" corresponding to one game, and the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value (for example, the value corresponding to the number of games of 50:50). The AT state may be terminated based on. Further, in this example, when the additional lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), a given value is subtracted from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted before reaching the threshold value is increased), or a given value is added to the threshold value to end the AT state. Reset (update) the threshold value as a condition (set the threshold value of the AT end judgment counter 1915 so that the number of counts counted by the AT end judgment counter 1915 from the current value to reach the threshold value increases. (Update).

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1915 counts the number of games in the AT state, but the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated according to the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out, and medals are added. The end of the AT state may be managed by the so-called difference number obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted from the number of payouts. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, a value "100" corresponding to 100 medals, which is the difference number that is the end condition of the AT state, is set in the AT end determination counter 1915, and once in the AT state. Increment update is performed to add the value corresponding to the number of medals inserted (specified number of medals) to the value of the AT end judgment counter 1915 every time the game is played, and when a small winning combination is won and medals are paid out. The decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out from the value of the AT end judgment counter 1915, and the value of the AT end judgment counter 1915 reaches the threshold value (for example, 0) (less than the threshold value). The AT state may be terminated based on what has happened. Further, in this example, when the additional lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), a given added value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is a threshold value from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted increases before reaching.

Further, for example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value "0", and in the AT state, the number of medals inserted each time a game is played (specified insertion). The decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to the number) from the value of the AT end judgment counter 1915, and when the small winning combination wins and the medals are paid out, the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out is set to the AT end judgment counter 1915. The increment update is performed to add to the value of, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value (for example, the value corresponding to the difference number of 100: 100 sheets) (the value exceeds the threshold value). ) May be used to terminate the AT state. Further, in this example, when the additional lottery is won (when a predetermined condition is satisfied), a given value is subtracted from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted before reaching the threshold value is increased), or a given value is added to the threshold value to end the AT state. Reset (update) the threshold value as a condition (set the threshold value of the AT end judgment counter 1915 so that the number of counts counted by the AT end judgment counter 1915 from the current value to reach the threshold value increases. (Update).

Further, in the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 with the transition to the advantageous section, and in the advantageous section, the update is started from the state where the value of the clear counter 1917 is "1". However, the update is started from the state where the value of the clear counter 1917 is the initial value "0", and the advantageous section is ended based on the value of the clear counter 1917 reaching the threshold value "1500". You may let it. In this case, an initialization process for initializing the value of the clear counter 1917 to the initial value "0" is performed along with the shift to the advantageous section, and the value of the clear counter 1917 is set after the initialization process is performed. It is determined that the game section is an advantageous section until the threshold value "1500" is reached, and it is built into the section display SEC based on the initialization processing of the clear counter 1917 accompanying the shift to the advantageous section. By turning on the LED, the advantageous section notification is started, the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the threshold value "1500", the advantageous section ends, and the clear counter 1917 shifts to the normal section. Based on the fact that the value is initialized to the initial value "0", the advantageous section notification may be terminated by turning off the LED built in the section indicator SEC.

Further, in the present embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is incremented and updated in the advantageous section, but the decrement may be updated. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, a value "1500" corresponding to 1500 times, which is the number of games that is the end condition of the advantageous section, is set in the clear counter 1917, and one game is performed in the advantageous section. A decrement update is performed by subtracting a constant value "1" corresponding to one game from the value of the clear counter 1917 each time, and the stored value of the clear counter 1917 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0). The advantageous section may be terminated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is updated every time one game is played, and the value of the clear counter 1917 corresponds to the number of games played in the advantageous section, but the value of the clear counter 1917 is changed. It may be updated according to the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out. In this way, it is possible to manage whether or not to end the advantageous section by the so-called difference number (number of acquisitions) obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted from the number of medals paid out.

For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value "3000" corresponding to the difference number of 3000 medals, which is the end condition of the advantageous section, is set in the clear counter 1917, and one game is played in the advantageous section. Increment update is performed to add the value corresponding to the number of medals inserted (specified number of medals) to the value of the clear counter 1917, and the number of medals paid out when a small winning combination is won and the medals are paid out. The decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to from the value of the clear counter 1917, and it is advantageous based on the fact that the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the threshold value (for example, 0) (becomes less than the threshold value). The section may be terminated.

Further, for example, a predetermined value (for example, 3) is set in the clear counter 1917 based on winning the AT lottery, and in the advantageous section, the number of medals inserted (specified number of medals inserted) each time a game is played. The value corresponding to is subtracted from the value of the clear counter 1917. When the small winning combination wins and the medal is paid out, the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out is added to the value of the clear counter 1917. Update is performed, and the advantageous section is terminated based on the fact that the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the threshold value (for example, the value corresponding to the difference number of 3000: 3000 sheets) (or exceeds the threshold value). You may do so. In this example, the clear counter 1917 is not set to a predetermined value when the AT lottery is won, and the clear counter 1917 is updated from the initial value "0" in the advantageous section to reach the threshold value "3000". The advantageous section may be terminated based on what has been done (or has exceeded "3000").

When counting the difference number of medals by the AT end determination counter 1915 and the clear counter 1917, if the replay wins, the number of medals paid out is treated as "0", and the next game of the game in which the replay wins ( In (replay), it is desirable that the number of medals inserted is treated as "0" and the counter is not updated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, but the AT lottery is not performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the BB state is performed in the advantageous section. If this is the case, the AT lottery may be performed. Specifically, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery will not be performed, so in the BB state that shifts due to the winning of the big bonus (BB), the player will stay in the normal section. However, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the player stays in the advantageous section in the BB state which is transferred by winning the big bonus (BB). In this case, the AT lottery can be executed in the game in the BB state. In this case, in the internal lottery table referred to in the BB state, winning modes such as cherry and watermelon A can be provided, and when these winning modes are obtained, the AT lottery can be performed. As for the regular bonus (RB), the winning probability fluctuates according to the set value, so even if the player stays in the RB state in the advantageous section, the AT lottery is not performed in this RB state. In this way, it is possible to provide a game specification in which the AT lottery cannot be received in the BB state in the normal section, but the AT lottery can be received in the BB state in the advantageous section. If a big bonus (BB) is won while playing an assist time game in an advantageous section, an additional lottery will be performed instead of the AT lottery in the BB state that shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). On the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the situation where the assist time game is performed in the advantageous section, it is added in the RB state that shifts with the winning of the regular bonus (RB). The lottery may not be held. When the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the BB state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is performed even if the end condition of the BB state is not satisfied, and the normal section is performed. In the BB state, even if the AT lottery can be received by staying in the advantageous section before the initialization process, by staying in the normal section after the initialization process. Since the AT lottery cannot be received in the BB state, it is possible to prevent the advantageous section from continuing for a long period of time.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination is increased in the BB state, but in the BB state, the lottery flags of all the small winning combination are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. In the game in the BB state, the bonus game may be performed so that the pull-in range is narrower than that of the other reels with respect to any one or more of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

In this case, when the gaming state is the BB state, for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, the rotation corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed. The reel inside stops, but for the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. When the rotating third reel R3 is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the third reel R3 is stopped at the stop position of the rotating third reel R3 from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. The number of frames required for the reeling is determined in the range of 0 to 1 frame (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130 corresponds to a combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 whose pressing operation is performed in the BB state. When the symbol is located within the range of 0 to 1 frame with respect to the display position on the effective line when the operation of pressing the stop button B3 is performed, the lottery flag is set to the winning state. Control is performed to stop the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the corresponding symbol is displayed at the display position on the effective line.

In this aspect, in the BB state, it is possible to perform a game in which a small winning combination is always won in each game, and a game held by the player by a game in the BB state and an assist time game in an advantageous section. It provides playability that increases the number of media. Further, also in this embodiment, a limit is set on the continuation of the advantageous section in which the assist time game can be performed, and when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, a predetermined initial stage is set even in the middle of the BB state. If the conversion process is performed to return to the normal section, it is possible to prevent an excessive number of medals from being acquired in the advantageous section, which greatly exceeds the expected value of acquisition in the design. You will be able to adjust the performance to reduce the shooting performance.

In addition, an internal lottery table is provided so that the batting order bell is won in the RB state or BB state, and if it is an advantageous section, a winning assistance effect is performed when the batting order bell is won in the RB state or BB state to notify the correct batting order. In the case of a normal section, it may be prohibited to perform a winning assistance effect when the batting order bell is won in the RB state or the BB state so that the correct batting order is not notified.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the end condition of the AT state based on the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is satisfied, the state shifts to the non-AT state through the AT end waiting state, but the AT end waiting state is not provided. It may be an embodiment, and when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, the state may be shifted to the non-AT state regardless of the RT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state to determine whether or not to shift to the AT state. However, as shown in FIG. 20, a CZ state is provided as the effect state and the non-AT state is provided. In the state, the CZ lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the CZ state (another example of the special production state) without performing the AT lottery, the AT lottery is performed in the CZ state, and the AT lottery is won. The production state may be shifted to the AT state. In this case, the control information related to the start and end of the CZ state, the lottery information related to the CZ state, and the like are also initialized in the initialization process at the end of the advantageous section. Even when the CZ state is provided, the effect state is fixed to the non-AT state in the normal section, the advantageous section is started based on winning the CZ lottery in the normal section, and the CZ state is in the case of the advantageous section. Can be set. Further, the execution trigger of the CZ lottery and the execution trigger of the AT lottery may be the same or different.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal section, when the watermelon A, cherry, and the common bell, which are the winning modes of the small winning combination, are won, or when the big bonus (BB), which is the winning mode of the bonus, is won, the advantageous section is shifted. We tried to perform a lottery related to the game, but when a replay winning mode is provided in which the winning probability in the internal lottery does not change due to fluctuations in the RT state or set value, and such a replay winning mode is obtained. A lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section (AT lottery, CZ lottery) or a lottery for increasing the number of executions of the assist time game in the advantageous section (additional lottery) may be performed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 21, when the gaming state is the normal state, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4 referred to according to the RT state, the normal replay 1 has the same probability in any RT state. At the same time as winning, the winning probability of the normal replay 1 does not change depending on the set value, and when the game state is the normal state in the normal section, a lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section is performed when the normal replay 1 is won. Can be done. That is, if the winning mode that triggers the execution of the lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section does not change the winning probability due to the change in the RT state, not only the winning mode of the small winning combination and the winning mode of the bonus but also the replay It may be a winning mode, while a lottery related to the transition of an advantageous section when a winning mode of a replay (for example, normal replay 2 or the like) in which the winning probability fluctuates due to a change in the RT state is obtained in the normal section. Etc. should be prevented.
