That is, the winning combination lottery means 210 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is a combination of whether or not to win a winning combination with a lottery probability predetermined for each set value of a plurality of stages, triggered by the operation of the start switch 40. It is for drawing lots.

The combination lottery means 210 is provided with a plurality of lottery tables for determining whether or not a combination has been won, as main categories, corresponding to each of the normal game state, the bonus internal medium state, and the bonus game state. It is stored in the ROM of the main control board 200.

The combination lottery means 210 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values in a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not the winning is achieved. The process by the winning combination lottery means 210 is performed in step S11 (see FIG. 27), which will be described later.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the winning combinations drawn by the winning combination lottery means 210 are roughly classified into a bonus transition combination (a combination with a transition of the gaming state) and a replay combination (owned by the player). A role that enables the start of the next game without using the medals of the above, a so-called re-game role) and a small role (a role that accompanies the payout of medals) are provided.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, a combination of a combination of a combination and a symbol drawn by the combination lottery means 210 will be described.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, as a 1-card combination 1 (see FIGS. 12 to 14) for the first stop incorrect answer of the small combination (winning combination), the symbol 61 of "Replay 1 Replay 1 Red 7 Red 7" The combination PZ179, the combination PZ180 of the symbol 61 of "Replay 1 Replay 1 Red 7 Bar 1", and the like are provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, as a 1-card combination 2 (see FIGS. 12 to 14) for the first stop incorrect answer of the small combination (winning combination), the symbol 61 of "Red 7 Replay 1 Red 7 Replay 1" The combination PZ1215, the combination PZ216 of the symbol 61 of "Red 7 Replay 1 Red 7 Replay 2", and the like are provided.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, among the small wins (winning wins), PZ1 to PZ104 are the roles in which 15 medals can be paid out, and PZ105 to PZ250 are the roles in which one medal can be paid out. It is a role to be played.

Next, the winning combination group will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14 in the same manner.
The winning combination group is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 11 to 14.
11 to 14 show a plurality of types of predetermined winning combination groups, and each winning combination group is composed of one combination or a combination of a plurality of combinations.

Therefore, when the winning combination group is composed of a plurality of combinations, it means that the winning combination groups are simultaneously elected (duplicately won). Further, when the result of the combination lottery is "HZ (loss)", it indicates that none of the winning combination groups have been elected.

As shown in FIG. 11, the winning combination group including the bonus transfer combination includes "SB1" in which SB1 wins, "SB2" in which SB2 wins, "RBB" in which RBB wins, and "JAC1" in which JAC1 wins. , "JAC2" where JAC2 wins is provided.

As shown in FIG. 12, the winning combination group including the replay combination includes "NRP" in which the basic replay (see FIG. 7: RP1 to RP16) is won, and "ZRP" in which the basic replay and RP17 (see FIG. 7) are won. , "SRP" in which the chance replay (see FIG. 7: RP17 to RP24) is won, "PRP" in which the basic replay and RP18 (see FIG. 7) are won, and the like are provided.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the winning combination group including the small combination is elected by PZ81, 1-card combination for P_LC, and 1-card combination 1 for the first stop incorrect answer (see FIGS. 9 and 10). "ATA1", PZ81, 1-card combination for P_LC, 1-card combination for 1st stop incorrect answer 1, "ATB1" where PZ215 (see FIGS. 9 and 10) wins, chance combination 1 (see FIGS. 8: PZ1 to PZ64) ) Wins "SP1", chance combination 2 (see FIG. 8: PZ65 to PZ80) wins "SP2", ALL1 (all small roles PZ1 to PZ250) wins "PALL1", ALL2 (PZ1-) Among the PZ250, "PALL2", etc., in which all the roles of one payout are PZ105 to PZ250) are provided.

Here, for example, in the winning combination group "ATA1", the winning combination is different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 50, and as shown in FIG. 12, when the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is correct. It is a push order role in which PZ81 is established (winning), and if the push order is correct, 15 medals are paid out, and if the push order is incorrect, the first stop is correct, but the second stop is incorrect. In the case of, one P_LC combination is established (winning) and one medal is paid out, and if the answer is incorrect at the first stop, one winning combination for the first stop incorrect answer is established (winning). One medal is paid out (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

Here, the correct pressing order is LCRQ (first stop is left stop switch L, second stop is middle stop switch C, third stop) when the game state (see FIG. 23) is "RT0" and "RBB_NOM". Is the right stop switch, the fourth stop is the fourth stop switch Q), and when the gaming state is "RBBF", LC (the first stop is the left stop switch L, the second stop is the fourth stop switch Q). In the order of the third stop and the fourth stop, the order of the middle stop switch C and the right stop switch R does not matter, and the order of LR (the first stop is the left stop switch L and the second stop is the right stop switch R). In the third stop and the fourth stop in order, the order of the middle stop switch C and the fourth stop switch Q does not matter, and when the gaming state is "RBB_JACF1" or "RBB_JACF2", the correct answer is regardless of the pressing order. It is set to be.

This is described as "PZ81 (RT0 / RBB_NOM: LCRQ RBBF: LC ** / LR ** JAC1F / JAC2F: all)" in FIG.
That is, in RT0 and RBB_NOM, LCRQ is the correct answer, in RBBF, LC ** / LR ** (** means regardless of the push order) is the correct answer, and in JAC1F and JAC2F, all push orders are correct. Indicates that is the correct answer.

Similarly, for example, in the winning combination group "ATB1", the winning combination is different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 50, and as shown in FIG. 13, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is the correct answer. In this case, PZ81 is established (winning), and if the push order is correct, 15 medals are paid out. If the push order is incorrect, the first stop is correct, but the second stop is. In the case of an incorrect answer, one P_LC combination is established (winning) and one medal is paid out, and in the case of an incorrect answer in the first stop, one winning combination for the first stop incorrect answer is established (winning). ), And one medal is paid out (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

Here, the correct pressing order is LC (first stop is left stop switch L, second stop is middle stop switch C) when the game state (see FIG. 23) is "RT0" and "RBB_NOM". In the third stop and the fourth stop, the order of the middle stop switch C and the right stop switch R does not matter, and when the gaming state is "RBBF", the order is L (the first stop is the left stop switch L). In the second stop, the third stop, and the fourth stop, the order of the middle stop switch C, the right stop switch R, and the fourth stop switch Q does not matter, and when the gaming state is "RBB_JACF1" or "RBB_JACF2", , It is set to be the correct answer regardless of the push order.

In FIG. 13, this is described as "PZ81 (RT0 / RBB_NOM: LC ** RBBF: L *** JAC1F / JAC2F: all)".
That is, in RT0 and RBB_NOM, LC ** (** means that the push order does not matter) is the correct answer, and in RBBF, L *** (*** means that the push order does not matter). It is a correct answer, and JAC1F and JAC2F indicate that all push orders are correct.

In this way, in the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24", the symbol combination corresponding to the case where the stop switch 50 is operated in the correct pressing order is stopped on the effective line 86. The highly advantageous combination displayed, that is, the number of medals paid out to the player is 15, and the number of medals paid out is larger than that of other roles (for example, PZ105) in which one is paid out, "PZ81". ~ PZ104 ”, is included.

Here, the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24" shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 are examples of specific modes, and as described above, the operation mode of the stop switch 50, for example, , The advantage for the player, for example, the number of medals paid out to the player, changes depending on the pushing order.

Further, the winning combination group "PALL1" shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 is an example of the third aspect and constitutes an advantageous aspect, and as described above, the winning combination group "ATA1" is an example of the specific aspect. ”To“ ATA24 ”,“ ATB1 ”to“ ATB24 ”, all of the roles that are highly advantageous to the player in each winning combination group, for example, PZ81 to PZ104, which are the roles with a large number of medals paid to the player, are duplicated. And win.
Then, all the roles "PZ81 to PZ250" included in the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24" are included in the winning combination group "PALL1" so that they will be elected in duplicate. Is set to.
The winning combination group "PALL2" shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 may be included in an example of the third aspect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the winning probabilities of the winning combination group "PALL1" in which all the small combinations (PZ1 to PZ250) are elected are the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" shown in FIG. ~ It is set to be higher than each winning probability of "ATB24" and lower than the total winning probability of all winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24".

Specifically, the winning probability of the winning combination group "PALL1" in the gaming states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)" is "1401/65536", and the winning combination group "1400/65536" in the gaming state "RT0". It is set higher than "700/65536" and "400/65536", which are the winning probabilities of "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24". Then, it is set to be lower than "26400/65536" which is the total winning probability of each winning probability of all the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24".

The winning probability of the winning combination group "PALL1" in the gaming states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)" and the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" in the gaming state "RT0" Each winning probability of "ATB24" is not limited to the case where the winning probability of the winning combination group "PALL1" is set higher, and may be the same probability.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the winning probability of the winning combination group "PALL1" in which all the small winning combinations (PZ1 to PZ250) in the gaming states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)" are won, and the small winning combination Of these, the total with the winning probability of the winning combination group "PALL2" in which the small winning combination "PZ105-PZ250" with one paid out medal is won is the winning in the gaming state "RT0" shown in FIG. It is set to be higher than the total winning probability of the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24".

Specifically, the total lottery probability in RT0 of the small roles "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24" is "26400/65536", but SB1 of "PALL1" and "PALL2". The lottery probability in (RT0) is "26410/65536", which is higher than the lottery probability of winning the small wins "ATA1" to "ATA24" and "ATB1" to "ATB24" in RT0.

Further, in the winning combination group "PALL1", regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 50, among all the small combinations included in "PALL1", the symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations PZ81 to PZ104 is effective line 86. Since the display is stopped at the top, if the winning combination group "PALL1" is won by the combination lottery, 15 cards will be paid out (see FIG. 9).

In the winning combination group "PALL2", the symbol combination corresponding to any combination of PZ105 to PZ250 is stopped and displayed on the effective line 86 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 50. Therefore, the winning combination group "PALL2" is selected by the combination lottery. If you win "PALL2", you will be paid out one card (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

Therefore, in the game states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)", the lottery of the winning combination group "PALL1" with more payouts than the lottery probability "25000/65536" of the winning combination group "PALL2" with less payouts. The probability "1401/65536" is low, and the lottery probability "1401/65536" of the winning combination group "PALL1" with many payouts is the small combination "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24". It is lower than "26400/65536" which is the total lottery probability at RT0.

Therefore, it can be said that the game states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)" have a lower ball output rate than "RT0".
This also applies to "RBB_JAC1" and "RBB_JAC2" (see FIG. 23).

Further, in the present embodiment, a winning combination group that simultaneously wins a plurality of winning combination groups in the combination lottery is set.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, a winning combination group composed of one or a plurality of winning combination groups is set. Then, in the present embodiment, the combination lottery means 210 determines whether or not any of the winning combination groups shown in FIG. 22 is elected by the combination lottery.

Therefore, for example, when "NRP + RBB" is won by a combination lottery, it means that the winning combination group "NRP" (see FIG. 12) and the winning combination group "RBB" (see FIG. 11) are simultaneously elected. In other words, 17 roles of "basic replay" (RP1 to RP16) (see FIG. 7) included in "NRP" and "RBB" (see FIG. 11) included in "RBB" were won at the same time. Means that.

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, a winning combination group drawn for each gaming state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 15, each winning combination group is set whether or not the combination lottery by the combination lottery means 210 is performed according to the game state (see FIG. 23).
For example, the winning combination group "NRP" is subject to lottery in the gaming states of "RT0", "SB1", "SB2", and "RBBF".

In addition, the winning combination group "ZRP" is subject to lottery in the game state of "RBBF".
In addition, the winning combination group "ATA1" is subject to lottery in the gaming states of "RT0", "RBBF", "RBB_NOM", "RBB_JAC1F", and "RBB_JAC2F".
In addition, the winning combination group "JAC1" is subject to lottery in the game state of "RBB_NOM".

Therefore, in RT0, which is an example of the first state, the winning combination groups "NRP", "SRP", "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24", "SP1", which are examples of the first aspect. , "SP2", "SB1", "SB2", "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "PRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB" are the targets of the role lottery.
Further, in SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0), which are examples of the second state, the winning combination groups "NRP", "SRP", which are examples of the second aspect and are the same as at least a part of the first aspect, "SP1", "SP2", "SB1", "SB2", "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "PRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB" are subject to the role lottery.
Similarly, SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0), which are examples of the second state, are included in the first aspect of the lottery target in RT0, but the combination of winning combinations is different from that of the first aspect. PALL1 and PALL2, which are examples of the third aspect, are the targets of the combination lottery.

That is, in RT0, SB1 (RT0), and SB2 (RT0), the same combination, PZ1 to PZ250, is the target of the combination lottery, but in RT0, for example, PZ81 is a single combination for P_LC (PZ105 to PZ108). ), But the winning combination 1 (PZ179 to PZ214) for the first stop incorrect answer is won (winning combination group "ATA1"), but in SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0), PZ81 is PZ1 to PZ80. , PZ82 to PZ250 are won in duplicate (winning combination group "PALL1"), so the combination of winning combination is different depending on the game state.

Then, in the non-advantageous section normal state described later, the first aspect ("NRP", "SRP", "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24", "SP1", "SP2" described above by the combination lottery , "SB1", "SB2", "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "PRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB"). When the mode ("PALL1", "PALL2") is won, it is impossible to shift to the advantageous section.
By making the winning combination different depending on the game state, the same winning combination, for example, PZ81, is won by the winning combination lottery, and even if the same symbol is stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the winning combination is won. Depending on the game state, there are cases where the transition to the advantageous section is possible and cases where the transition is not possible, and it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

Further, in SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0), when the winning combination group "PALL1" is won by the combination lottery, the reel control means 220 described later is used to design a symbol corresponding to the highly advantageous combination PZ81 to PZ104. Since control is performed to pull 61 onto the effective line 86, it is not possible to tell from the stopped display symbol 61 whether the game state is RT0, SB1 (RT0), or SB2 (RT0). There is.

Next, the lottery probability for each set value of each winning combination group will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 21.
FIG. 16 shows the lottery probability for each set value of the normal game state “RT0” described later, and FIG. 17 shows the lottery probability for each set value of the single bonus states “SB1 (RT0)” and “SB2 (RT0)”. FIG. 18 shows the lottery probability for each set value of the bonus internal medium state “RBBF (RT1)”, FIG. 19 shows the lottery probability for each set value of the bonus game state “RBB_NOM”, and FIG. 20 shows the bonus game state “RBB_NOM”. The lottery probability for each set value of "RBB_JAC1F (RT2)" and "RBB_JAC2F (RT2)" is shown in FIG. 21. Each is shown.

For example, the lottery probability of the set value "1" (SET1) of the winning combination group "NRP" in the normal game state "RT0" is "7000/65536", and the lottery probability of the set value 2 (SET2) is "6990/65536". The lottery probability of the set value 3 (SET3) is "6980/65536", the lottery probability of the set value 4 (SET4) is "6970/65536", and the lottery probability of the set value 5 (SET5) is It is "6960/65536", and the lottery probability of the set value 6 (SET6) is "6950/65536".

Further, the lottery probability of the winning combination group "ATA1" is "700/65536" regardless of the set value, and the lottery probability of the winning combination group "ATB1" is "400/65536" regardless of the set value.

In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination group "PALL1" of the single bonus states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)" is "1401/65536" regardless of the set value, and the lottery of the winning combination group "PALL2". The probability is "25000/65536" regardless of the set value.

In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination group "ATA1" of the bonus game states "RBB_NOM", "RBB_JAC1F (RT2)", and "RBB_JAC2F (RT2)" is "700/65536" regardless of the set value, and the winning combination group " The lottery probability of "ATB1" is "400/65536" regardless of the set value.

In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination group "PALL1" of the bonus game states "RBB_JAC1 (RT3)" and "RBB_JAC2 (RT3)" is "1800/65536" in the set value 1 (SET1) to the set value 3 (SET3). Yes, the set value 4 (SET4) is "1810/65536", the set value 5 (SET5) is "1820/65536", and the set value 6 (SET6) is "1830/65536".
Further, the lottery probability of the winning combination group "PALL2" is "40000/65536" regardless of the set value.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is a means included in the main control board 200, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62 based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. The reel control means 220 may also set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (pushing order) when each stop switch 50 is stopped is satisfied with a predetermined condition, if necessary. The processing by the reel control means 220 is performed in step S12 (see FIG. 27) described later.

(Stop symbol determination means 230)
The stop symbol determination means 230 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is for storing the combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped and for determining a prize or the like. is there. The process by the stop symbol determining means 230 is performed in step S13 (see FIG. 27), which will be described later.

(Payout control means 240)
The payout control means 240 is for performing a predetermined process such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. The payout control means 240 pays out medals when it is determined that the small winning combination has won a prize as a result of the determination of the stop symbol determination means 230. The process by the payout control means 240 is performed in step S14 (see FIG. 27), which will be described later.

(Game control means 250)
The game control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 250 is roughly classified into a normal game state control means 251, a single bonus state control means 252, a bonus internal medium state control means 253, and a bonus game state control means 254. It has each means of.

(Normal game state control means 251)
The normal game state control means 251 controls the "normal game state" (see FIG. 23). Here, the normal game state refers to a state other than the single bonus state by the single bonus state control means 252, the bonus internal medium state by the bonus internal medium state control means 253, and the bonus game state by the bonus game state control means 254.

(Single bonus state control means 252)
The single bonus state control means 25 controls the “single bonus state” (see FIG. 23). Here, in the single bonus state, the bonus transfer combination "SB1" and "SB2" are won, and the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "SB1" and "SB2" is stopped and displayed on the effective line 86. Migrate with.
Here, "SB1" and "SB2" are so-called ordinary characters, and the game ends in one game and shifts to the normal game state.
In addition, the winning of the bonus transfer roles "SB1" and "SB2" is set so that they cannot be carried over to the next game or later.

(Bonus internal medium state control means 253)
The bonus internal medium state control means 253 controls the “bonus internal medium state” (see FIG. 23). Here, the internal bonus state shifts to the case where the bonus transfer combination is won, but the combination of the symbols 62 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination cannot be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.
In addition, during the inside state of the bonus, the fanning effect described later is executed.

(Bonus game state control means 254)
The bonus game state control means 254 controls the “bonus game state” (see FIG. 23). Here, the bonus game state is changed by winning the bonus transfer combination "RBB" and stopping and displaying the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination on the effective line 86.
There is "RBB" in the bonus game state.
"RBB" wins the transition role (JAC1) in "RBB_NOM" and "RBB_NOM", and shifts when the combination of the corresponding symbol 61 can be stopped and displayed on the valid line 86 "RBB_JAC1" and "RBB_NOM". There is "RBB_JAC2" that shifts when the transition combination (JAC2) is won and the combination of the corresponding symbols 61 can be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.
Here, the "RBB" ends with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 105 medals. In addition, "RBB_JAC1" and "RBB_JAC2" are completed with 8 prizes or 12 games.
Then, after the bonus game state ends, the game shifts to the normal game state.

(Advantageous section control means 260)
The advantageous section control means 260 controls a non-advantageous section in which the operation mode of the stop switch 50, which will be described later, cannot be notified, and an advantageous section in which the operation mode can be notified, using FIG. 24.
Then, the effect control means 320, which will be described later, is used to execute an effect of notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50.

In addition, the advantageous section control means 260 wins the transition lottery from the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section", which is performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, when a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery. As a result, the “non-advantageous section” is shifted to the “advantageous section” (see FIG. 22).

In addition, it is not limited to the case where it is decided to shift to the advantageous section by the lottery (advantageous section transition lottery) executed when the winning combination is won in the combination lottery, and it is not limited to the case where the transition is made in advance. By winning a predetermined combination, the player may shift from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section without drawing a lottery for shifting to the advantageous section.

Further, the advantageous section control means 260 starts counting the number of games when the section shifts to the advantageous section, and when the counted number of games reaches a predetermined number of games, for example, 777 games, the AT state described later will be described. I am trying to shift to (so-called ceiling).
Here, if a lottery (AT transition lottery) for whether or not to shift to the AT state, which will be described later, is won before reaching a predetermined number of games, for example, 777 games, the number of games is counted by the ceiling game counter. The number of games is initialized.
The predetermined number of games is not limited to 777 games, and may be another number of games, or may be determined by lottery.

Further, the counting of the number of games will be described later with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, but as shown in FIG. 25, the number of games during the fanning effect described later is counted, and the game shifts to the bonus game state after the fanning effect is completed. The number of games up to is not counted.

Further, the counting of the number of games will be described later with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, but the counting of the number of games is continued even after the transition to the normal gaming state after the end of the bonus gaming state, and the predetermined game is counted. When the number is reached, it shifts to the AT state.

In the AT state where the game has been transferred by reaching a predetermined number of games during the normal game state, if the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is won by the combination lottery, the continuation of the AT state is confirmed.
That is, the AT state of the number of games obtained by adding the number of games in the AT state to the remaining number of games in the AT state (so-called ceiling AT) shifted by reaching a predetermined number of games becomes playable.
It should be noted that the case is not limited to the case where the number of games in the AT state is added to the remaining number of games in the AT state shifted by reaching the predetermined number of games, and the end of the shifted AT state by reaching the predetermined number of games. After that, a new AT state may be started, or the shifted AT state may be terminated in the middle when the predetermined number of games is reached, and a new AT state may be started. ..

In addition, the upper limit of the advantageous section is set in the game section in which the game can be played, and when the predetermined upper limit number of games, for example, 1500 games is exhausted after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, the upper limit of the advantageous section is set. Assuming that the number of games has been reached, the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section is made.
Further, in the present embodiment, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, even before the predetermined upper limit number of games (1500 games) is exhausted (before reaching the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section), in advance. When a predetermined number of balls (for example, so-called MY2400) are obtained, the advantage section is shifted to the non-advantageous section even before the maximum number of games is exhausted.

(Transmission means 270)
The transmission means 270 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control board 300.

(Sub-control board 300)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control board 300 has each means of the receiving means 310 and the effect controlling means 320. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the sub control board 300 receives a signal from the main control board 200 and performs an effect as the game progresses.
Specifically, the sub-control board 300 outputs data that regulates the lighting and extinguishing of the LED to the LED drive circuit (not shown) for driving the effect lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Video data that specifies the data to be output to the audio output circuit (not shown) for output, or is output to the liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84. Outputs data that specifies.

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving means 310 receives a signal from the transmitting means 270.

(Direction control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effect of the game machine 10 according to the game state shown in FIG. 23 and the state of the advantageous section shown in FIG. 24.
Specifically, the effect control means 320 specifically executes the fanning effect, the effect of the first notification mode, and the effect of the second notification mode, which will be described later.

Further, when the effect control means 320 receives a command from the advantageous section control means 260 of the main control board 200 to notify the pressing order of the stop switch 50 during the advantageous section shown in FIG. 24, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is received. It is possible to execute the effect of notifying.

Specifically, a plurality of images or videos (for example, "1") showing the pressing order are displayed on the screen of the display device 84 corresponding to the position of each stop switch 50 (specifically, the position of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to each stop switch 50). "2" "3") is displayed to notify the pressing order. After that, each time the stop switch 50 is operated, the part corresponding to the position of the operated stop switch 50 is erased (or changed to an image showing no order) in the image or video showing the pressing order.

(Explanation of the game state using FIG. 23)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The game state is managed by the main control board 200, and as shown in FIG. 23, it is roughly classified into a normal game state, a single bonus state, a bonus internal medium state, and a bonus game state.

(Normal game state)
The normal game state is an example of the first state, and is controlled by the normal game state control means 251.
The winning probability for the replay combination in the normal game state is set to normal (1 / 7.3).
When a bonus transfer combination is won by a role lottery in the normal game state, the normal game state is changed to the bonus internal medium state.

(Single bonus state)
The single bonus state is an example of the second state, which is controlled by the single bonus state control means 252, and in the normal game state, the bonus transfer combinations "SB1" and "SB2" (see FIG. 11) are won, and the bonus transfer is performed. The game shifts when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "SB1" or "SB2" is stopped and displayed in the game in which the combination "SB1" or "SB2" is won.

In addition, the winning of the bonus transfer roles "SB1" and "SB2" is set so that they cannot be carried over to the next game or later.
The probability of winning the replay combination in the single bonus state is set to normal (1 / 7.3).
In the present embodiment, the single bonus state includes "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)". Both "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)" are completed in one game.

Further, in the single bonus state, the bonus transfer combinations "SB1" and "SB2" for shifting to the single bonus state are included in the lottery target (see FIG. 17).

(Medium inside bonus)
The bonus internal medium state is controlled by the bonus internal medium state control means 253, and in the normal game state, the bonus transfer combination "RBB" (see FIG. 11) is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is obtained. Transition when the stop is not displayed on the valid line 86.
The probability of winning the replay role in the bonus internal medium state is set higher than in the normal game state.

(Bonus game state)
The bonus game state is controlled by the bonus game state control means 254, and in the present embodiment, the bonus transfer combination "RBB" (see FIG. 11) is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is effective. Transition when the stop is displayed on line 86.
The winning probability for the replay combination in the bonus game state is set to "0".

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the winning combination group "RBB" including the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is not independently subject to the lottery, and is "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "PRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB". , "SP2 + RBB", and the winning combination groups "NRP", "SRP", "PRP", "SP1", and "SP2" are duplicated in the lottery target.
Then, since the control is performed to preferentially pull in the symbol 61 corresponding to the combination included in the other winning combination group over the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB", in the game in which the bonus transfer combination is won, The symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.
Therefore, it is set to always shift from the "normal game state" to the "bonus game state" via the "bonus internal medium state".

In the present embodiment, the bonus game states include "RBB_NOM", "RBB_JAC1F (RT2)", "RBB_JAC2F (RT2)", "RBB_JAC1 (RT3)", and "RBB_JAC2 (T3)".
Here, the "RBB" ends with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 105 medals.

"RBB_JAC1F (RT2)" wins the bonus transfer combination "JAC1" (see FIG. 11) in "RBB_NOM", and shifts when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "JAC1" is not stopped and displayed. ..
Further, when "RBB_JAC2F (RT2)" wins the bonus transfer combination "JAC2" (see FIG. 11) in "RBB_NOM" and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "JAC2" is not stopped and displayed. Transition.

"RBB_JAC1 (RT3)" wins the bonus transfer combination "JAC1" (see FIG. 11), and shifts when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "JAC1" is stopped and displayed.
"RBB_JAC2 (RT3)" wins the bonus transfer combination "JAC2" (see FIG. 11), and shifts when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "JAC2" is stopped and displayed.
Here, "RBB_JAC1 (RT3)" and "RBB_JAC2 (RT3)" are completed with 8 winnings or 12 games. Then, it returns to "RBB_NOM".
Then, after the end of the "bonus game state", the state shifts to the "normal game state".

(Explanation of Advantageous Section Using FIG. 24)
As shown in FIG. 24, when the push order combination, which is a prize when the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order, is won, the push order cannot be notified to the player as a "non-advantageous section". It is possible to shift from the "non-advantageous section", and if the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order predetermined by the winning combination lottery, and the winning winning combination is won, the pushing order is given to the player. There is an "advantageous section" that can be notified.

The “non-advantageous section” is an example of a normal section, and is a section excluding the “advantageous section”.
From the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section", in the present embodiment, the winning combination is predetermined by the winning combination lottery, and as shown in FIG. 22, when the gaming state is "RT0", an example of the first aspect. Winner groups "NRP", "SRP", "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24", "SP1", "SP2", "SB1", "SB2", "NRP + RBB", " When "SRP + RBB", "PRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB" are won, an advantageous section transition lottery from "non-advantageous section" to "advantageous section" is performed, and the transition is made by winning the advantageous section transition lottery. Let me.

In addition, when the game state is "SB1 (RT0)", "SB2 (RT0)", the winning combination groups "NRP", "SRP", "SP1", "SP2", "SB1", "SB2", " If you win "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "PRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB", the advantageous section transition lottery from "non-advantageous section" to "advantageous section" will be done and you will win the advantageous section transition lottery. Transfer by doing.

Here, in the case of the gaming states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)", it is the case where the winning combination groups "PALL1" and "PALL2" are won in the combination lottery which is an example of the third aspect. However, it is set so that the advantageous section transition lottery will not be held.
As a result, the winning combination groups "PALL1" and "PALL2" that are not subject to the combination lottery in the game state "RT0" are the cases where they are won in the game states "SB1 (RT0)" and "SB2 (RT0)". However, the lottery for transition to the advantageous section is not performed, and the same combination is won for "RT0", "SB1 (RT0)", and "SB2 (RT0)" (see FIGS. 6 to 15), so the stop display is displayed. In the symbol 61, it is not possible to determine whether the gaming state is "RT0" or "SB1 (RT0)" (SB2 (RT0)).
It should be noted that the game states "RT0", "SB1 (RT0)", and "SB2 (RT0)" are set so that the same effect is produced, and the player is in either game state from the aspect of effect. It's hard to tell if you're staying.

In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the advantageous section transition lottery is set to a high probability, and it is set to shift to the advantageous section in several games of the non-advantageous section.
In addition, the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section" is not limited to the case of shifting by winning the advantageous section transition lottery, which is performed when a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery. If a predetermined combination is won, the advantage section may be transferred to the advantageous section without drawing a lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, the section notification lamp 90 is set to light up after the so-called fourth stop of the game in which the predetermined combination that triggers the transition to the advantageous section is won.

(Advantageous section)
The "advantageous section" is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the "non-advantageous section", and includes an "advantageous section normal state", an "AT state", an "RBB standby state", and a "bonus effect state".

In addition, the advantageous section may be provided with an additional state in which the number of games in the AT state is drawn by lottery, a continuation state in which the number of games in the AT state is drawn by lottery, and the like.

Here, the section advantageous to the player is, for example, in the non-advantageous section, the push order combination that is won when the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order predetermined by the combination lottery is won. Even in the case, the game is changed from a state in which it was impossible to notify the player of the push order to a possible state, or an AT state that is not executed in the non-advantageous section is executed. It is a section that is advantageous to people.
Therefore, it is not necessary for the player to be advantageous throughout the "advantageous section", and it may not be advantageous for the player in a part of the "advantageous section".

In addition, when a predetermined upper limit number of games, for example, 1500 games is exhausted after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, it is assumed that the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section has been reached, and the advantage section is shifted to the non-advantageous section. I have to.
Therefore, the main control board 200 is provided with an upper limit number of games counter, and counts the number of digested games after shifting to the advantageous section in order to determine whether or not the predetermined upper limit number of games (1500 games) is reached.
Further, in addition to the above-mentioned upper limit game number counter, a ceiling game number counter is provided, and the number of games counted by the ceiling game number counter is referred to when shifting to the AT state (so-called ceiling), which will be described later. ..

In addition, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, even before the predetermined upper limit number of games (1500 games) is exhausted (before reaching the upper limit number of games in the advantageous section), the predetermined number of games is set in advance. When a ball is played (for example, so-called MY2400 cards), the advantage section is shifted to the non-advantageous section even before the maximum number of games is exhausted.
Therefore, in the main control board 200, in order to determine whether or not the predetermined number of balls (so-called MY2400) is reached, the number of input and the number of payouts after the transition to the advantageous section are counted. ..

(Advantageous section normal state)
The advantageous section normal state is a state excluding a special state such as an "AT state" in the "advantageous section".
The advantageous section normal state is a state in which the non-advantageous section normal state of the non-advantageous section is continued, and the effect control means 320 performs the same effect as the non-advantageous section normal state. That is, the difference between the non-advantageous section normal state and the advantageous section normal state is whether the staying section is a "non-advantageous section" or an "advantageous section".
It is said that the gaming state during the stay in the advantageous section normal state is mainly staying in the normal gaming state “RT0” (see FIG. 23).

In addition, in the advantageous section normal state, the AT state is entered when the winning combination groups "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB", and "PRP + RBB" including the bonus transition combination "RBB" are elected. A lottery (AT transition lottery) will be held.
If you win the AT transition lottery, you will move to the so-called "precursor" of the "precursor state", and if you do not win the AT transition lottery, you will be in the so-called "precursor" of the "precursor state". Move to.
If the winning combination groups "NRP + RBB", "SRP + RBB", "SP1 + RBB", "SP2 + RBB", and "PRP + RBB" are won in the non-advantageous section, the advantageous section transition lottery is performed as described above, and the advantageous section transition is further performed. If the lottery is won, the AT transition lottery will also be held.

Since this "precursor state" has won the bonus transition role "RBB", it is said that he / she is staying at the RBBF (RT1) in the bonus internal medium state (see FIG. 23).
If the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB" is stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the "precursor state" is terminated and the state shifts to the "bonus production state", but as a result of the role lottery, a bonus is given. If the symbol combination corresponding to the transition role "RBB" can be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86, the effect is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86. I have to.

Specifically, when it becomes possible to arrange the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB" during the fanning production described later, for example, by losing the role lottery, the bonus transfer role "RBB" is supported. If there is no winning combination included in another winning combination group that is controlled to be pulled in prior to the symbol 61, the second notification mode, for example, the start switch 40, is set before the stop switch 50 can be operated. At the time of operation, by outputting sound using the speaker 72 or notifying in a specific notification mode such as turning on the effect lamp 78, the player can be given a symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB". The stop switch 50 is notified to be operated so that the stop display is not displayed on the effective line 86.

In the case of the "RBB standby state", which will be described later, in which it is not decided to shift to the AT state after the end of the fanning effect, it is possible to arrange the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus transition combination "RBB" in the same manner. In this case, the first notification mode is performed in which the effect device, for example, the display device 84 is notified of the symbol 61 related to the bonus transfer combination “RBB”.
As the first notification mode, a symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" and an image reminiscent of the corresponding symbol 61 are displayed on the display device 84, and a so-called aiming effect is made to cause the player to press the symbol 61. Is done.

Then, by stopping and displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB", the player shifts to the bonus effect state, and after the bonus effect state ends, the opportunity to shift to the AT state can be obtained again. This is because, in this embodiment, the AT transition lottery is performed when the bonus transfer role "RBB" is won, so that the AT transition lottery is not performed while staying in the bonus internal medium state, and stays in the bonus internal medium state. This is because doing so is disadvantageous to the player.

In the "precursor state" (including the premonition of Gase), a fanning effect is performed to notify that there is a possibility of shifting to the AT state during the number of games determined by the lottery. As a fanning effect, for example, a so-called battle effect of confronting an enemy character is performed.
Then, by digesting the number of games determined by the lottery of the "precursor state", in the case of the "precursor", after the production to win the battle is executed, the game shifts to the "AT state" and the "precursor" In the case of, after the effect of losing the battle is executed, the state shifts to the "RBB standby state".

It should be noted that the fanning effect is not limited to the case where the fanning effect is performed in the precursory state, and may be performed in the advantageous section normal state other than the precursory state.
In addition, the fanning effect is not limited to the battle effect, and may be another effect.
Further, the number of games in the "precursor state" is not limited to the number of games determined by lottery, and may be a predetermined number of games.
In addition, even in the "precursor state", if the player wins the push order winning combination when the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order predetermined by the winning combination lottery, the push order is given to the player. It can be notified.

(AT state)
The "AT state" is a state that is more advantageous to the player than the "non-advantageous section". When the state shifts to the "AT state", a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the winning combination is notified is started as a notification effect for assisting the winning of a predetermined combination, and the stop switch 50 is in accordance with the notified pressing order. By operating, the combination of the winning small winning combination and the replaying combination can be stopped and displayed. Therefore, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small winning combination are paid out.

The "AT state" is an example of the privilege acquisition state, and by winning the AT transition lottery that is performed when the bonus transfer role "RBB" is won in the above-mentioned advantageous section normal state, the "precursor state" is obtained. "(This precursor) is in a state of transition.
Further, as will be described later, the "AT state" is also shifted when the number of games for which counting is started after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number of games (777 games, etc.) (so-called ceiling). I try to come.

The "AT state" is a state that can be executed for a predetermined number of games, for example, 50 games. Then, when the predetermined number of games is exhausted, the state shifts from the "AT state" to the "RBB standby state".
Here, it is also possible to add the number of games that can execute the "AT state", or to continue the next "AT state" after the end of the "AT state".

Since this "AT state" has won the bonus transfer combination "RBB", it is assumed that he / she is staying at the RBBF (RT1) in the bonus internal medium state (see FIG. 23).
If the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB" is stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the "AT state" is terminated and the state shifts to the "bonus effect state", but as a result of the role lottery, a bonus is given. If the symbol combination corresponding to the transition role "RBB" can be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86, the effect is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86. I have to.

(RBB standby state)
The RBB standby state is a state in which the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination “RBB” is waiting to be stopped and displayed on the effective line 86.
Then, in the "RBB standby state", an effect of pressing the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB", for example, an effect of displaying the symbol to be pressed on the display device 84 is executed.
When the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is stopped and displayed on the effective line 86, the process shifts to the "bonus effect state".
In this "RBB standby state", since the bonus transfer combination "RBB" has been won, it is assumed that the player is staying in the RBBF (RT1) in the internal bonus state (see FIG. 23).
The RBB standby state after the AT state may be set as a non-advantageous section.
Further, the RBB standby state may be included in the advantageous section normal state.

(Bonus production state)
Further, as the effect state of the bonus game state "RBB" (see FIG. 23), a "bonus effect state" is provided.
In the "bonus production state", in the non-advantageous section normal state of the non-advantageous section and the advantageous section normal state of the advantageous section, the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is It is an effect state that shifts when the stop is displayed on the effective line 86.

Then, when the bonus effect state ends, the AT state ends, and then the bonus effect state shifts, the non-advantageous section normal state shifts to the non-advantageous section normal state, and the advantageous section normal state does not go through the AT state. When shifting to the bonus production state, the advantageous section shifts to the normal state, that is, the advantageous section is continued.

Further, when the state shifts from the AT state to the bonus effect state via the RBB standby state, the section notification lamp 90 is turned off after the end of the bonus effect state.
The bonus effect state after the AT state may be a non-advantageous section.
Further, the bonus production state may be included in the advantageous section normal state.

(Counting the number of games after the transition to the advantageous section)
The counting of the number of games started when the transition to the advantageous section will be described with reference to FIG. 25.
As shown in FIG. 25, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state (see FIG. 23) and the non-advantageous section normal state shifts to the advantageous section normal state (see FIG. 24), the counting of the number of games is started (see FIG. 24). 1).
The counted number of games is counted by the ceiling game number counter.

By winning the bonus transfer combination "RBB" by the combination lottery in the normal game state, the AT transition lottery is performed (2). In this example, a case where the AT transition lottery is not won and the game is lost will be described.
In addition, the game state shifts to the bonus internal medium state by winning the bonus transition combination "RBB" (see FIG. 23).

In the present embodiment, since the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" cannot be stopped and displayed, the normal game state does not shift to the bonus game state, and the bonus internal medium state is not set. Will move to.

Since the AT transition lottery was lost, the advantageous section shifts from the normal state to the precursory state of the advantageous section (see FIG. 24).
When the precursor state ends, the state shifts to the RBB standby state (see FIG. 24) (3). Then, the counting of the number of games is interrupted.

If the combination is lost due to the role lottery while the bonus is inside, the aiming effect is performed, and if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB" can be stopped and displayed, the game shifts to the bonus game state (see FIG. 23) (see FIG. 23). 4). Then, with the transition of the gaming state, the transition from the RBB standby state to the bonus production state is performed. Further, with the transition to the bonus production state, the counting of the number of games is restarted.

After that, by satisfying the end condition of the bonus game state "RBB", the bonus game state shifts to the normal game state, and with the shift of the game state, the bonus effect state shifts to the advantageous section normal state.
When the number of games reaches a predetermined number of games (777 games) in the advantageous section normal state, the game state shifts from the advantageous section normal state to the AT state (so-called ceiling) while the game state remains the normal game state. Then, the number of games counted by the ceiling game number counter is initialized.
In the normal state of the advantageous section, if the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is won before reaching the predetermined number of games, an AT transition lottery is performed, and if the AT transition lottery is won, the number of ceiling games. The number of games counted by the counter is initialized, and the state shifts to the AT state without waiting for the arrival of the predetermined number of games.

Next, with reference to FIG. 26, another example of counting the number of games started when shifting to the advantageous section will be described.
As shown in FIG. 26, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state (see FIG. 23) and the non-advantageous section normal state shifts to the advantageous section normal state (see FIG. 24), the counting of the number of games is started (see FIG. 24). 1).

By winning the bonus transfer combination "RBB" by the combination lottery in the normal game state, the AT transition lottery is performed (2). In this example, a case where the AT transition lottery is not won and the game is lost will be described.
In addition, the game state shifts to the bonus internal medium state by winning the bonus transition combination "RBB" (see FIG. 23).

In the present embodiment, since the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination "RBB" cannot be stopped and displayed, the normal game state does not shift to the bonus game state, and the bonus internal medium state is not set. Will move to.

Since the AT transition lottery was lost, the advantageous section shifts from the normal state to the precursory state of the advantageous section (see FIG. 24).
When the precursor state ends, the state shifts to the RBB standby state (see FIG. 24) (3). Then, the counting of the number of games is interrupted.

If the combination is lost due to the role lottery in the inside of the bonus, the aiming effect is performed, and if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer role "RBB" can be stopped and displayed, the game shifts to the bonus game state (see FIG. 23). Then, with the transition of the gaming state, the transition from the RBB standby state to the bonus production state is performed.

After that, by satisfying the end condition of the bonus game state "RBB", the bonus game state shifts to the normal game state, and with the shift of the game state, the bonus effect state shifts to the advantageous section normal state. Then, with the transition to the advantageous section normal state, the counting of the number of games is restarted (4).

When the number of games reaches a predetermined number of games (777 games) in the advantageous section normal state, the game state shifts from the advantageous section normal state to the AT state while the game state remains the normal game state. Then, the number of games counted by the ceiling game number counter is initialized.
In the normal state of the advantageous section, if the bonus transfer combination "RBB" is won before reaching the predetermined number of games, an AT transition lottery is performed, and if the AT transition lottery is won, the number of ceiling games. The number of games counted by the counter is initialized, and the state shifts to the AT state without waiting for the arrival of the predetermined number of games.

That is, the timing of restarting the counting of the number of games is different between the example of FIG. 25 and the example of FIG.

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 27)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 27, a general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described.

In step S10, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 is not operated, step S10 is performed again.

As a premise of this step S10, the bet number setting process is performed. In this bet number setting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined bet number is set as the bet number. Specifically, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets for the game has reached the specified number of bets (3).

In step S11, the winning combination lottery process is performed by the winning combination lottery means 210. At this time, the result of the winning combination lottery is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the role lottery process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

In step S12, the rotation fluctuation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotary reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotational speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating rotary reel 62 is operated by the main control board 200, the reel control means 220 causes each rotary reel 62 to operate. The rotation is stopped. At this time, the pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R, fourth stop switch Q) is a predetermined storage area formed on the main control board 200. It is stored in and read out in the subsequent processing.

Further, after all the stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of the full rotation reel 62 is transmitted from the transmission means 270 of the main control board 200 to the reception means 310 of the sub control board 300. Then, when the rotation fluctuation processing of all the rotating reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs determination processing such as winning a prize whether or not the combination of symbols 61 having a predetermined combination is aligned with the combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. Then, when the determination process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

In step S14, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process or the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. If the determination result shows that the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process ends.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, as described above, the case where there are four rotating reels 62 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of rotating reels 62 may be other than four, for example, three.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
The present invention shifts to an advantageous section by winning a winning combination group that can shift to an advantageous section by a winning combination lottery, but even if the same symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line, depending on the game state, It is possible to provide a game machine 10 capable of preventing a decline in the interest of a game by causing a case of shifting to an advantageous section and a case of not shifting to an advantageous section.
That is, even if the same symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line 86 in RT0, SB1 (RT0), and SB2 (RT0), there is a case of shifting to an advantageous section (in the case of RT0) and a case of not shifting. (SB1 (RT0), SB2 (RT0)) can be generated.

Further, in the present invention, RT0 is more likely to win a role having a higher advantage for the player than SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0), and the game can be in an advantageous state. Machine 10 can be provided.
Therefore, by winning a winning combination group that can shift to an advantageous section by a combination lottery at RT0, which is more advantageous than SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0), the same symbol as SB1 (RT0) and SB2 (RT0) is an effective line. It is possible to provide a game machine 10 capable of shifting to an advantageous section even when the stop display is displayed on the 86.

Further, the present invention further makes it possible to relieve the player who has played the game until the counted number of games reaches a predetermined number of games, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered. Machine 10 can be provided.

Further, the present invention further, by continuing to count the number of games when a predetermined opportunity is started, for example, when a production that arouses the expectation of the player is started, the game is not impaired in the playability due to the extension of the game. It is possible to provide a game machine 10 capable of performing an effect that arouses the expectation of a player who has continued to count the number.
