Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Conventionally, a gaming machine (rotating drum type gaming machine, slot machine) having a plurality of reels in which symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface has been known. This type of gaming machine imparts a certain gaming value to a gaming medium such as a medal or a pachinko ball, and performs a game for acquiring such a gaming medium. Further, in this type of gaming machine, the rotation start operation of the player triggers an internal lottery and the rotation of a plurality of reels is started, and the stop operation of the player is triggered by the result of the internal lottery. Control is performed to stop a plurality of reels. Then, the result of the game is determined by the symbol combination displayed on the winning determination line in the state where the plurality of reels are stopped, and medals and the like are paid out according to the result of the game.

In recent years, by executing a winning assistance effect that assists the winning of a winning combination under predetermined conditions, the winning probability of the winning combination is changed, and it becomes easier to acquire a game medium such as a medal in an AT state in which the winning assistance effect can be executed. Gaming machines capable of performing assist time games have been well received.

In many conventional gaming machines, the acquisition performance of the gaming medium is changed by changing the probability that at least a part of the winning modes are obtained in the internal lottery according to the set value. The difference in the appearance rate of the winning mode is an index for the player to estimate the set value. Further, in a gaming machine capable of performing an assist time game, when the AT lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT state is performed in association with the result of the internal lottery, the execution trigger of the AT lottery is performed according to the set value. The probability of obtaining the winning mode is changed according to the set value, and a setting difference is provided at the opportunity to receive the AT lottery so that the transition rate to the AT state differs according to the set value (Patent Document). 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-128516

However, it has been pointed out that the change in the transition rate to the AT state according to the set value will change the acquisition performance of the gaming medium by a method not defined in the technical standard of the gaming machine, and assist. It is socially required that the degree of advantage associated with time games does not change according to the set value.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for preventing the degree of advantage associated with an assist time game from changing according to a set value.

(1) In the present invention, a plurality of reels in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on an outer peripheral surface, an internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery for determining the success or failure of a plurality of types of winning combinations, and the plurality of reels are rotated for each game. A reel control means that controls to stop the rotating reels in a manner according to the result of the internal lottery, and a prize predetermined for each winning combination in a state where the plurality of reels are stopped. Based on the symbol combination indicating the form being displayed on the valid line, it is possible to set a winning determination means for determining that the winning combination has won, a normal section and an advantageous section, and a specific lottery can be performed in the normal section. When it is decided whether or not to shift to the advantageous section, the advantageous section is started based on winning the specific lottery, the assist time game is performed in the advantageous section under predetermined conditions, and the advantageous section ends. A plurality of privilege-giving means for executing a predetermined initialization process to return to the normal section, and an effect control means for controlling the effect device to execute a winning assist effect for assisting the winning of a predetermined combination in the assist time game. A setting changing means for storing a set value selected from the set values of the stages in the set value storage means is provided, and the assist time game can be executed only in the advantageous section, and the assist time game can be executed according to the set value. In a gaming machine in which the probability that a part of the winning modes will be obtained by the internal lottery varies, the privilege giving means updates the value of the clear counter in the advantageous section, and the value of the clear counter reaches a predetermined value. When the advantageous section ends based on the above, and when the advantageous section ends before the value of the clear counter reaches a predetermined value in connection with obtaining a specific winning mode by an internal lottery in the advantageous section. The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which control regarding the end of the advantageous section is performed so that the above is present, and the specific winning mode is set according to the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the change of the set value.

In the present invention, a normal section and an advantageous section can be set, and the assist time game can be executed only in the advantageous section. In the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter is updated and the value of the clear counter is changed. The advantageous section is terminated before the value of the clear counter reaches the predetermined value in relation to the case where the advantageous section is terminated based on reaching the predetermined value and the case where the specific winning mode is obtained by the internal lottery in the advantageous section. By providing a case and performing a predetermined initialization process when the advantageous section ends and returning to the normal section, it is possible to excessively acquire the game medium in the advantageous section in excess of the expected acquisition value in the design. I'm preventing that.

Further, in the present invention, the set value can be set in a plurality of stages, and the probability that a part of the winning modes will be obtained in the internal lottery varies depending on the set value. Since the specific winning mode related to the opportunity to end the game is set according to the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value, the ease of ending the advantageous section in which the assist time game can be performed depends on the set value. Can be kept unchanged so that the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game does not change according to the set value.

(2) In the gaming machine of the present invention, when the prize-giving means assists the winning of a specific small winning combination in which the game medium is paid out in association with the winning by the winning assistance effect, the privilege-giving means causes the specific small winning combination in the advantageous section. The advantage section may be allowed to be terminated before the value of the clear counter reaches a predetermined value, provided that the prize-winning assist effect for assisting the prize-winning is performed.

In this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the advantageous section ends without obtaining the benefits that can be received in the advantageous section, and to prevent the existence of the advantageous section from becoming famous and innocent. can do.

(3) In the gaming machine of the present invention, control for shifting the gaming state between a plurality of types of gaming states including a normal state in which an internal lottery for a bonus is performed and a bonus state in which the bonus is won. In a situation where the internal lottery means performs an internal lottery so as to obtain the specific winning mode in the bonus state, and the game state stays in the bonus state, including the game state transition control means for performing the above. In connection with obtaining the specific winning mode in the internal lottery, there is a case where the advantageous section ends before the value of the clear counter reaches a predetermined value, and the winning probability of the bonus depends on the change of the set value. May not fluctuate.

In this way, the transition rate to the bonus state affects the ease of ending the advantageous section, but the winning probability of the bonus that triggers the transition to the bonus state does not change depending on the change in the set value, so the advantageous section It is possible to prevent the ease of termination of the from being affected by the set value.

(4) In the gaming machine of the present invention, control for shifting the gaming state between a plurality of types of gaming states including a normal state in which an internal lottery for a bonus is performed and a bonus state in which the bonus is won. The value of the clear counter reaches a predetermined value on the condition that the bonus is won and the game state shifts to the bonus state in the advantageous section, including the game state transition control means for performing the above. It may be allowed to end the advantageous section before.

In this way, it is possible to end the advantageous section after bringing an advantageous situation to the player by being able to play the game in the bonus state in the advantageous section, so that the existence of the advantageous section becomes famous and innocent. Can be avoided.

In the present embodiment, the "random number value" includes not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also a value that is generated regularly, but the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The internal lottery means 120 determines the winning or failing 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. Then, 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 values (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. 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 gaming machine of the present embodiment, small wins 1 to 11 are prepared as small wins, and batting order bells 1 to 9, batting order bells 9, common bells, watermelons, cherries, and JAC are used as winning modes for the small wins. Is 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): a predetermined winning combination, an example of a specific small winning combination) are shown to be won in duplicate. The common bell is one type of 13 small batting order (small winning combination with 13 payouts (small winning combination 9)) and one type of 14 small winning combination (small winning combination with 14 payouts (small winning combination 10)). Indicates that and will be won in duplicate.

In addition, watermelon indicates that one type of three small wins (small wins with three payouts) wins independently, and cherry shows one type of two small wins (small wins with two payouts). It shows that the small winning combination 7)) is won independently, and JAC has five types of one small winning combination (small winning combination 1 to small winning combination 5) and one type of two small winning combination (small winning combination 7). One type of three-card small win (small win 8), one type of eight-card small win (small win 6), one type of 13-card small win (small win 9), and one type of 14-card small win It is shown that (small winning combination 10) and one type of 15 small winning combination (small winning combination with a payout of 15 cards (small winning combination 11)) are won in duplicate.

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

When the winning mode of each replay is specifically described with reference to FIG. 7, the normal replay indicates that the replay 1 is won independently, and the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 3 are the replay 1 and the replay 2. It shows that the three types of replays including the replay are won in duplicate, and the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 indicate that the three types of replays including the replay 1 and the replay 3 are 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 the (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 common bell differs depending on the set value. There is. In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, the winning probability of the common bell changes in the range of about 1 / 73.1 to about 1 / 42.6 according to the set value, and from setting 1. The higher the set value as the setting 6, the higher the probability that the lottery result for winning the common bell will be obtained by the internal lottery. In this embodiment, the winning probability does not change depending on the set value for the winning mode of the small winning combination other than the common bell.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 are referred to according to the RT state and the game state, the probability that the replay winning mode is obtained in the internal lottery varies depending on the fluctuation of the RT state and the game state. However, in any of the replay winning modes, the winning probability does not change depending on the set value.

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 lottery result that will win the bonus will be obtained by the 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, based on the result of the random number determination 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). , 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 gaming 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. A lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that resets to the winning state is prepared. There is a bonus for 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) wins. 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 that the player operates 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, the reel control means 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is activated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. 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 of the lottery flag 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 a 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, it is within the range of 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the operating time of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing of the stop button is detected) 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 a plurality of 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 constituting the winning form of the winning combination with low priority are selected for the candidate of the stop position including the symbol constituting 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, when a plurality of types of small wins are won in the internal lottery, the priority of the candidate stop position depends on the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning form 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. Further, if 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 in the order of incorrect batting, when displaying the symbols that make up the winning form of one small winning combination on the effective line, the regular bonus (RB) or big bonus (BB) Priority is required to avoid winning. However, when a watermelon or cherry is won, the symbols that make up the winning form of the three small wins corresponding to the watermelon and the two small wins corresponding to the cherry cannot be displayed on the effective line, and the regular bonus ( When a watermelon or cherry is won in the RB established state or the BB established state because there is a press detection position where the symbols constituting the winning form of RB) or big bonus (BB) can be displayed on the effective line. There are cases where a regular bonus (RB) or a big bonus (BB) is won without a small role being won.

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 priority small winning combination changes according to the pressing order. For example, the RB established state or the BB established state may be determined. When the batting order bell is won in the state, the priority is sought 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 game states, 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 the stop position of the reel. 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 is a case 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 RB established state or the BB established state, since the winning of the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, 8 small winning points are won in the correct batting order and 1 small winning combination 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 of the winning combinations. In this embodiment, when the first stop operation is performed when the batting order bell is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the symbols constituting the winning form of any of the small winning combinations are always displayed on the effective line. By doing so, winning of regular bonus (RB) and big bonus (BB) is avoided, so if neither the 8 small winning combination nor the 1 small winning combination included in the batting order bell is won. Even if there is, regular bonus (RB) and big bonus (BB) will not win.

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 winning combinations 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 one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 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.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 3 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 2 wins. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the stop position with respect to 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 4 to batting order replay 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 wins. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins.

In the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is normally referred to when the replay is won, the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins regardless of the press order in any case. ..

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 the prizes of 1 to the small winning combination 11 and the presence or absence of the display of the RT fluctuation blank are determined.

Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the winning combination is won, the winning processing 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 related to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out 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 medal credits (internal storage) 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) in which the player does not need to insert a medal owned by the player for the next game and sets the same preparation state as the previous game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the replay wins, the same number of medals as in the previous game are automatically inserted without using the medals (including credit medals) held by the player. The process is performed, and with the same effective line as the previous game set, the game start operation for the next start lever SL is waited for.

As shown in FIG. 14A, the game state transition control means 170 is among a normal state, an RB established state, an RB state (an example of a bonus state), a BB established state, and a BB state (an example of a bonus state). Performs a game state transition control process for shifting the game state. 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 state shifts to the RB established state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the BB established state. 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 addition, 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 game shifts when the 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 transition is triggered by winning the big bonus (BB) 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 addition, in the BB establishment state, the winning or not of the small role and the 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 a plurality of 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 a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line in the non-RT state, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, of the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, normal replay is set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1. 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 when the gaming state is the normal state, the RT state other than the non-RT state is set. 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 state shifts to the non-RT state. 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 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 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 4 to batting order replay 6 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 is set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 1.5. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 4. 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 CZ state, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end waiting state. Whether or not to set the effect state to the CZ state (chance zone state) under a predetermined condition, determine the success or failure of the end condition of the CZ state based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915, and shift to the AT state in the CZ state. When it is decided to shift to the AT state, the effect state is set to the AT state (assist time state), and the success or failure of the end condition of the AT state is determined based on the value of the AT end determination counter 1916. Therefore, control is performed to end the AT state when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied. In the present embodiment, when staying in the CZ state, 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 winning combinations (small winning combination 6) are given. : An example of a predetermined batting order, an example of a specific small batting order) is performed to assist in winning a prize, so that it is possible to perform an assist time game in which medals are easier to obtain than a game staying in a non-AT state. It has become.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the privilege giving means 175 makes it possible to set a normal section, an internal middle waiting section, and an advantageous section, and in the normal section, the production state is fixed to the non-AT state and a CZ lottery is performed, and a CZ lottery is performed. The advantageous section is started based on the winning of the above, and the effect state is set to the CZ state on condition that the section is advantageous. Then, the privilege granting means 175 is a CZ lottery (an example of a specific lottery) based on the fact that a watermelon, a cherry, or a big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery when the game state is the normal state in the game of the normal section. )I do. In the CZ lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the CZ lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911, and it is determined whether or not the CZ lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the CZ lottery table, winning is assigned to a part of the random number values for the internal lottery associated with watermelon, cherry, and big bonus (BB), and the random number values acquired for the internal lottery are the CZ lottery table. If it is associated with winning in, it is determined that the CZ lottery has been won. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the CZ lottery does not change due to the influence of the set value.

Then, when the privilege granting means 175 wins the CZ lottery in the normal section, the advantageous section is started based on the winning of the CZ lottery, the effect state is changed from the non-AT state to the CZ state, and the effect state is in the CZ state. To play a privilege acquisition game to acquire the right to shift to the AT state. If the CZ lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is won, the winning information of the CZ lottery is retained until the end of the BB state, and the BB state ends and the game state returns to the normal state. Set the effect state to the CZ state.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets a predetermined value (for example, 10) corresponding to the number of games (for example, 10 times) which is the end condition in the CZ end determination counter 1915 when the CZ lottery is won, and the privilege acquisition game in the CZ state. Is performed once, a constant value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915. In the privilege acquisition game, the AT lottery is performed based on the winning of the batting order bell or the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery, and if the AT lottery is won, the right to shift to the AT state is acquired. 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, winning is assigned to a part of the random number values for the internal lottery associated with the batting order bell, and all the random number values for the internal lottery associated with the big bonus (BB) are won. If it is assigned and the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is associated with the winning in the AT lottery table, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. That is, in the present embodiment, there are cases where the AT lottery is won when the batting order bell is won and cases where the AT lottery is not won, but when the big bonus (BB) is won, the AT lottery is always won. If the regular bonus (RB) is won in the CZ state, the CZ state is interrupted, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is held until the end of the RB state, and the effect state is set to the CZ state after the end of the RB state. Then, the update of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is restarted, and the privilege acquisition game for the remaining number of times is performed. In order to shift to the AT state, it is possible to provide a case where the AT lottery is performed even in the non-AT state and the transition to the AT state is performed without going through the CZ state, instead of always passing through the CZ state.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied and the effect state returns to the non-AT state. On the other hand, even if the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied. In this case, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is set to "0". At the same time, it shifts to the AT ready state with the end of the CZ state. However, if the AT lottery is won based on winning the big bonus (BB) in the CZ state, the winning information of the AT lottery is retained until after the end of the BB state, and the AT is accompanied by the end of the BB state. Move to the ready state. In the present embodiment, the privilege granting means 175 sets the bell navigation completion flag from the off state to the on state under a predetermined condition in the advantageous section, and specifically, the winning assistance such as the CZ state, the AT preparation state, and the AT state. When the batting order bell is won in a game in which the production is permitted, the bell navigation completion flag is set from the off state to the on state. If the bell navigation completion flag is off when the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value in the CZ state, it means that the end condition of the CZ state has been reached without the AT lottery being performed. However, it is treated as a winning AT lottery based on the fact that the Bell Navi completion flag is off and the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied, and exceptionally, the right to shift to the AT state is acquired, and with the end of the CZ state. The production state is set to 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 3 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 4 to batting order replay 6 are won. , The winning auxiliary effect of notifying the correct batting order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT3 state.

In the present embodiment, the batting order 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 fluctuate to 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 so, the player may shift to the AT state at the end of the game based on the fact that any of the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 is won in the RT2 state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a big bonus (BB) or a regular bonus (RB) is won in the AT preparation state, it is a condition that the player stays in an advantageous section at the end of the BB state or the end of the RB state. The effect state after the end of the BB state or the RB state is set to the AT preparation state, the RT state is changed to the RT3 state, and then the effect state is changed to the AT state.

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 prize-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, at the time of winning the batting order bell 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, to the AT end determination counter 1916 based on the decision to shift to the AT state. In the set and AT state, each time one assist time game is performed, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 corresponds to one assist time game. The decrement update is performed by subtracting the constant value "1". Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1916 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.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 performs an additional lottery to determine whether or not to add a given additional value to the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 based on the fact that the watermelon or cherry is won in the AT state. Then, 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 1916.

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, winning is associated with a part of the random number values for the internal lottery associated with watermelon and cherry, and the random number values obtained in the internal lottery correspond to the winning in the additional lottery table. If so, it is determined that the additional lottery has been won. Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery differs depending on the winning mode obtained in the internal lottery, and it becomes easier to win the additional lottery in the order of "watermelon <cherry". In addition, as for the added value when the additional lottery is won, the larger added value is selected in the order of "cherry <watermelon". 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, and may be arbitrary. Can be determined. In the present 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 storage value of the AT end determination counter 1916 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 a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state, or when one small winning combination is won in the AT end waiting state, the advantageous section ends and it is advantageous. The effect state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process accompanying the end of the section. 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. The display of the above makes it easier for the RT state to fall into the non-RT state or the RT1 state. It should be noted that the advantageous section may be terminated with the termination of the AT state so that the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. Further, in the AT end waiting state, for example, when the batting order bell is won, the stop operation is performed in the incorrect batting order, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state, and the advantageous section is terminated to produce the effect state. May be initialized to the non-AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the AT state, the bell navigation completion flag is checked when the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 reaches the initial value, and when the bell navigation completion flag is off, the additional lottery is won. Instead, exceptionally, a predetermined addition value (for example, 10) is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 to control the extension of the AT state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section does not end until the winning auxiliary production of the eight small winning combination by winning the batting order bell is performed at least once.

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 1916 based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) and interrupts the AT state. Unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, the AT state is restarted as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state after the end of the BB state. Then, in the present embodiment, when a big bonus (BB) is won in a situation where the game is played in the AT state in the advantageous section, if the end condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied, the AT is performed after the end of the BB state. Since the return to the state is confirmed, the advantageous section is 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 1916 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 unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. Further, even after the end of the RB state, the advantageous section is maintained as long as the end condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a big bonus (BB) is won in a game in which the production state is staying in the AT end waiting state in the advantageous section, the BB state shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). At the end of, the production state returns to the AT end standby state. In addition, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the game in which the production state is staying in the AT end waiting state in the advantageous section, the regular bonus (RB) is won or the start and end of the RB state is the start of the advantageous section. Since it is not related to the end or the end, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and even after the end of the RB state, the advantageous section is maintained unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. Is to be maintained.

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, the bell navigation completion flag is initialized to the off state, and the values of the CZ end determination counter 1915 and the AT end determination counter 1916 are the initial values. It is initialized to (for example, 0) and returns to the normal section.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, an internal middle waiting section can be set, and the privilege granting means 175 is advantageous based on winning the CZ lottery in the normal section. The section starts, but if the CZ lottery at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, but the big bonus (BB) is not won and the state where the big bonus (BB) is won is carried over, it is inside. Start the advantageous section via the waiting section. In the present embodiment, the CZ state, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end waiting state can be set only when it is an advantageous section. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the CZ lottery is not performed when the regular bonus (RB) is won. Therefore, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) Even if the regular bonus (RB) is carried over without winning a prize, 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 CZ lottery is won in the normal section, and the clear counter 1917 is set every time one game is played in the advantageous section. The value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value (for example, 1500) by adding a fixed value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game to the value of (for example, the value of the clear counter is "1". Based on the fact that "1501" has been reached), the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. 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 with respect to 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 from the CZ state to the AT preparation state or from the AT preparation state to the AT state occurs, unless the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. Will be done. If you win the CZ 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 CZ state, the CZ 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 CZ end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0). If 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, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, and the AT state is initialized. The value of the end determination counter 1916 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, the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0), and when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the situation of staying in the AT end waiting state, it is initialized. The AT end waiting state is forcibly terminated by the process, and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state.

In the initialization process, not only the above-mentioned effect state, the bell navigation completion flag, the CZ end determination counter 1915, and the AT end determination counter 1916 are initialized, but also the clear counter 1917 is initialized. Specifically, the clear counter 1917 The value is initialized to the initial value (eg 0). Further, in the present embodiment, if the Bell Navi completion flag is in the ON state, the advantageous section is allowed to end by the end condition not depending on the value of the clear counter 1917. For example, the AT lottery is won. The end condition of the advantageous section even when the CZ state ends without fail, one card wins in the AT end waiting state, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state. Is determined to be established, and the initialization process is executed at the end of the advantageous section.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 wins the CZ lottery at the time of winning 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 CZ lottery at that time 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 CZ 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 when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the CZ lottery is not performed, and the normal section is maintained even if the game state is the RB establishment state or the RB state. In the present embodiment, when the game state is the RB state or the BB state, or when the game state is the RB state or the BB state, the CZ 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 CZ 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 before the end condition of the BB state is satisfied, and the initialization process is performed. 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, in the case of the internal waiting section, the execution of the lottery associated with the transition of the production state such as the CZ lottery or the AT lottery is prohibited, and the internal lottery serves as an opportunity to execute the CZ lottery or the AT lottery. Even if the winning mode is obtained, each lottery is not executed. However, the lottery associated with the transition of the effect state may be executed even in the internal middle waiting section, but in that case, it is preferable to invalidate the result of the 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 CZ 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 CZ 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 games played in the RB state and the number of winning small wins 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, 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, so that it is possible to make an advantageous section by checking the lighting state of the section indicator SEC. You can judge whether you are staying or not.

Then, in the present embodiment, the privilege granting means 175 starts or ends the advantageous section notification which is the notification of staying in the advantageous section based on the value of the clear counter 1917. For example, 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", which is the advantageous section. When the value of the clear counter 1917 is initialized to the initial value "0" as the notification is started and the advantageous section ends and the normal section shifts to the normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 becomes the initial value "0". Based on the fact that, the advantageous section notification is terminated.

In the present embodiment, regarding the advantageous section notification, when the advantageous section is started, the LED built in the section indicator SEC lights up and it is immediately notified that the user is staying in the advantageous section. However, it may be a non-notification section that does not notify that it is an advantageous section from the start of the advantageous section until the predetermined number of games (for example, 32 times) is exhausted. 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 the credit display or the 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 the lighting / extinguishing of the dot display unit that displays 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, it is possible to excite the game or control the execution of the effect to assist the game 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, the effect control means 180 displays a winning auxiliary effect that notifies the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won and assists the winning of eight small winning combinations when the effect states are the CZ state, the AT preparation state, and the AT state. The device 330 and the sound device 340 are controlled to be executed. 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 3 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 the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 are controlled to execute the winning assisting 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 3 and assists the winning of the replay 2. And control to be executed by the sound device 340. If the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT 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 4 to the batting order replay 6, control is performed so that the display device 330 and the sound device 340 execute a winning assisting effect that notifies the correct batting order and assists the winning of the replay 3.

Further, when the privilege acquisition game is performed in the CZ state, the effect control means 180 displays the remaining number of games until the end of the CZ state on a display device 330 such as a liquid crystal display LCD. When the assist time game is performed in the AT state by controlling the execution, the remaining number display effect of displaying the remaining number of games until the end of the AT state on the display device 330 such as the liquid crystal display LCD is executed. Control to make it. In the remaining number display effect, if the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is subtracted by performing the privilege acquisition game, or the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 is subtracted by performing the assist time game, the subtraction amount is reflected. The display content is changed so that the remaining number of games is also reduced. When the added value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 in the AT state, the addition amount of the game number corresponding to the added value is notified and the remaining number of games reflecting the addition of the added value remains. The player is notified by the number display effect.

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 functioning 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 assigning to the target. 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. Method of the present embodiment In the present embodiment, the normal section and the advantageous section can be set, and the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated in the advantageous section to control the end of the advantageous section. There are cases where the advantageous section ends in relation to the value of, and cases where the advantageous section ends in relation to the result of the internal lottery regardless of the value of the clear counter 1917.

Specifically, in the normal section, the production state is always set to the non-AT state, and the CZ lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous section. When the CZ lottery is won in the normal section, the advantageous section starts, and in the advantageous section, the effect state is set to the CZ state and the privilege acquisition game can be executed. Then, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not to shift the production state to the AT state by performing the AT lottery in the privilege acquisition game, and when the AT lottery is won, the AT state is started via the AT preparation state. It is possible to execute the assist time game.

Then, in the present embodiment, the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated so as to be increased by a constant value each time the game is played at the start of the advantageous section, and the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, which is advantageous. When the section ends, for example, when the effect state is the AT state, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process even if the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 does not reach the threshold value. Initialize the production state to the non-AT state. If the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value even if the effect state is the CZ state or the AT preparation state, the CZ state or the AT preparation state is forcibly terminated without shifting to the AT state. The effect state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process. 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 slope 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 set values of the six stages of setting 1 to setting 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, even before the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the threshold value, if the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, one small winning combination is won in the AT end waiting state. In this case, or when a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state, the advantageous section ends. Here, when the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is updated by a fixed value for each game, and is not affected by the result of the internal lottery. Absent. On the other hand, in the case where one small winning combination is won in the AT end waiting state and the case where the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state, the batting order is incorrect when the batting order is won. It is generated by the stop operation performed in, and is affected by the result of the internal lottery. As described above, in the present embodiment, the end condition of the advantageous section may be satisfied in connection with the winning of the batting order bell in the advantageous section.

Then, 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 the common bell and the regular bonus (RB) varies according to the set value. By doing so, the expected winning value of 14 small wins and the transition rate to the RB state are affected by the set value, so the higher the set value, the higher the ball output rate. Regarding the batting order bell related to the establishment of the end condition of the advantageous section, the winning probability does not change depending on the change of the set value.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the set value can be set in a plurality of stages, and the probability that a part of the winning modes will be obtained in the internal lottery varies depending on the set value, but the value of the clear counter 1917 is the threshold value. Since the batting order bell related to the opportunity to end the advantageous section before exceeding is set as the winning mode so that the winning probability does not change depending on the set value, the ease of ending the advantageous section does not change depending on the set value. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game from changing according to the set value.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning of eight small wins is assisted by the winning auxiliary production, and the batting order bell is won in the situation where the winning auxiliary production can be executed in the advantageous section, so that the bell navigation completion flag is turned off. The advantageous section does not end if the bell navigation completion flag remains off after switching from the state to the on state. Specifically, if the Bell Navi completion flag is off when the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the initial value in the CZ state, the right to shift to the AT state is granted and the CZ state ends. The advantageous section continues by shifting to the AT state via the AT preparation state without ending the advantageous section, and when the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 reaches the initial value in the AT state, the bell navigation completion flag is set. When it is in the off state, a predetermined addition value is always added to the AT end determination counter 1916 so that the AT state is not ended and the advantageous section continues. That is, in the present embodiment, the bell navigation completion flag needs to be turned on in order to end the advantageous section before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is advantageous before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value on the condition that the winning assistance effect for assisting the winning of the eight small winning combinations included in the batting order bell is performed. Since it is allowed to end the section, it is possible to prevent the situation where the advantageous section ends without obtaining the benefits that can be received in the advantageous section, and the existence of the advantageous section is famous and innocent. It can be prevented from becoming.

In the present embodiment, the advantageous section is set before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, provided that the winning assistance effect for assisting the winning of the eight small winning combinations included in the batting order bell is performed. Although it is allowed to end, it is a game section in which the player is allowed to perform an advantageous game in the advantageous section, and it is not always necessary to perform the assist time game, and the player is advantageous in the advantageous section. If it is guaranteed that the game has been played, it may be allowed to end the advantageous section before the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the threshold value.

Specifically, in the BB state and the RB state, the player can increase the medals by the bonus game, so that the big bonus (BB) and the regular bonus (RB) are won in the advantageous section and the game state is the BB state and the RB state. It can be configured to allow the advantageous section to end before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold, provided that the state has transitioned. In this way, it is possible to end the advantageous section after giving the player an advantageous situation by performing the bonus game in the advantageous section, so that the existence of the advantageous section does not become famous and innocent. Can be. However, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) does not change depending on the set value, while the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) changes depending on the set value, so that the regular bonus If it is configured to allow the end of the advantageous section in relation to (RB), the ease of ending the advantageous section may change depending on the set value. Therefore, when a bonus whose winning probability changes depending on the set value is provided as in the present embodiment, even if the bonus is won, the value of the clear counter 1917 is an advantageous section before the threshold value is exceeded. It is preferable not to allow the termination of. In short, when a big bonus (BB) wins in the advantageous section and shifts to the BB state, it is allowed to end the advantageous section before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, and it is regular in the advantageous section. When the bonus (RB) wins and shifts to the RB state, it is not allowed to end the advantageous section before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value (permitted due to the regular bonus (RB)). (Do not do).

Further, in the advantageous section, if at least one of the winning assistance effect for the small winning combination and the bonus game being performed is achieved, it is advantageous before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value. It may be allowed to end the section. That is, if the requirement for the player to play an advantageous game in the advantageous section is satisfied, the advantage section may be allowed to end before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value.

Further, in the present embodiment, the state is always shifted to the AT end standby state when the AT state ends, but it is produced depending on whether or not the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches a predetermined value when the AT state ends. It may be configured to change the transition destination of the state. For example, if the value of the clear counter 1917 at the end of the AT state (when the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 reaches the initial value) is 1400 or less, the state shifts to the CZ state and returns to the AT state with the end of the AT state. If the value of the clear counter 1917 at the end of the AT state is 1401 or more, the state may shift to the AT end waiting state with the end of the AT state and induce the advantageous section to end. If the value of the clear counter 1917 at the end of the AT state is 1400 or less, and the pullback lottery is performed at the end of the AT state and the pullback lottery is won, the state shifts to the CZ state and the pullback lottery is not won. In that case, the state may be shifted to the AT end waiting state.

Further, in the present embodiment, even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, it does not shift to the advantageous section unless the CZ lottery is won, and the big bonus (BB) wins and the advantageous section is won. Even if it started, after the end of the BB state, it was made to shift to the CZ state and perform the privilege acquisition game, but if you win the big bonus (BB) in the normal section, it will accompany the winning of the big bonus (BB). The internal lottery may be performed so that the watermelon or cherry may be won in the BB state, and the AT lottery may be performed when the watermelon or cherry is won. That is, the game in the BB state may be treated in the same manner as the privilege acquisition game in the CZ state. Then, when the AT lottery is won in the BB state, the state shifts to the AT state via the AT preparation state after the end of the BB state, and when the BB state ends without winning the AT lottery, the BB state is completed. The advantageous section may end with the end of the state.

That is, the advantageous section is started with the transition to the BB state, the internal lottery is performed so that the watermelon or cherry that triggers the execution of the AT lottery may be won in the BB state, and the game state stays in the BB state. In the situation where the clear counter 1917 is not won in the AT lottery executed at the time of winning the watermelon or cherry in the internal lottery, the advantageous section may end before the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value. However, it may be configured so that the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) that triggers the transition to the BB state does not change depending on the change of the set value. In this way, the transition rate to the BB state affects the ease of ending the advantageous section, but the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) that triggers the transition to the BB state does not change depending on the change in the set value. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ease of ending the advantageous section from being affected by the set value.

In the present embodiment, the CZ lottery is performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, but the CZ 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 CZ 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, if 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 that shifts due to the winning of 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 can be provided, and when these winning modes are obtained, the AT lottery can be performed. Since the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) fluctuates according to the set value, 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 CZ 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.

In addition, 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 CZ lottery and 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, 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. If 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. 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, it does not matter whether 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 design expected value of 3000 medals.

In particular, in the present embodiment, there is a possibility of winning the CZ lottery when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the random value acquired for the internal lottery in the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won. It is decided whether or not to start the advantageous section based on, and if the CZ lottery held at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is not won, the big bonus (BB) will be started from the time of winning the big bonus (BB). The normal section is maintained until the BB state that shifts with the winning of is completed, and if the CZ lottery held at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, it is advantageous with the winning of the big bonus (BB). The section is started and the update of the clear counter 1917 is started. 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 always continues even after the winning of the big bonus (BB), and the BB state transitioned by the big bonus (BB) is always present. The value of the clear counter 1917 is updated by setting it as an 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 is performed for the big bonus (BB) as a lottery target, and as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the big bonus (BB) is won. Based on this, the game shifts to the BB state, and based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), the game shifts to the BB state. However, if the game state is the normal state in the normal section, the CZ lottery is performed while the CZ lottery is performed. , When the game state is the BB establishment state or the BB state, the CZ lottery is not executed even in the normal section. For example, in the BB establishment state, the winning mode of watermelon or cherry may be obtained by the internal lottery, but even if these winning modes are obtained, the CZ lottery is performed because the game state is the BB establishment state. It is not executed, and in the BB state, the CZ lottery is not executed because none of the winning modes of watermelon, cherry, and big bonus (BB) is obtained. That is, after the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, if the CZ 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 gaming 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). Also, in the BB state, in order to perform a bonus game with a higher probability of winning a small winning combination, if the game state is the BB state, it is advantageous from the normal section by not performing the CZ lottery even in the normal section. The fairness of the game can be ensured by keeping the probability of transition to the section constant.

It should be noted that the CZ lottery may not be performed because the winning mode that triggers the execution of the CZ lottery cannot be obtained in the BB establishment state. For example, the CZ lottery is performed only when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state. If it is configured to be executed, it is possible to prevent the CZ lottery from being performed because the winning mode in which the big bonus (BB) is won is not obtained in the BB establishment state. 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 or cherry can be obtained even in the BB state, and even if the watermelon or cherry is won in the internal lottery in the BB state, the game state is not in the normal state, so the CZ lottery is performed. It can be prevented from being done.

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, so in the advantageous section. It is possible to give the player a motivation to positively win the winning big bonus (BB).

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of a small role (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, watermelon, cherry, common bell) and a bonus (regular bonus (RB), big bonus (BB)) changes in the RT state. Regardless of this, it is constant, and the winning probability does not change depending on the fluctuation of the RT state. There is a case where the winning mode of the small winning combination and the bonus is also won in the CZ lottery. When a watermelon, cherry, or big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the CZ lottery is performed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the normal section, the winning mode can be won 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 won. In that it is possible to give a fair opportunity to receive the CZ lottery even if the player is replaced while staying in the normal section, the fairness when the player is replaced in the normal section is provided. Can be secured.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning modes of watermelon, cherry, and big bonus (BB), which are the winning modes that trigger the winning of the CZ lottery in the normal section, are all winning modes in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value. There is. That is, in the present embodiment, while changing the ball output rate according to the set value, the CZ lottery is performed with a certain probability in the normal section without being affected by the set value, and any set value becomes an advantageous section. It is designed to give equal opportunities for migration.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the AT state in the advantageous section, an additional lottery is performed even when the watermelon or cherry is won, but in each of these small winning modes, the winning probability varies depending on the set value. I try not to. That is, in the present embodiment, watermelon and cherry, which are winning modes in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value, are added and set as a winning mode that triggers the winning of the lottery. It is possible to give an equal opportunity to add to the value of the AT end determination counter 1916.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of bonuses are provided, and if some bonuses are won, it may be an opportunity to shift to an advantageous section, 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 CZ lottery is not performed in the normal section, and when the big bonus (BB) is won, the CZ is held in the normal section. A lottery was held, and by winning the CZ 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 CZ 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 win the CZ 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, the regular bonus (RB) is not involved in the start or end of the advantageous section, and in the advantageous section. When the regular bonus (RB) is won, the advantageous section is maintained as long as the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value even in the RB state, but the regular bonus (RB) is won. When there is no setting difference in the probabilities, it is also possible to configure the RB state to always be set in the normal section with the winning or winning of the regular bonus (RB) in the advantageous section as the end condition of the advantageous section. That is, it may be configured to end the advantageous section in relation to the winning of the regular bonus (RB) in the advantageous section, but in this case, the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) does not change depending on the set value. By setting, it is possible to prevent the ease of ending the advantageous section from being affected by the set value.

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. I try to do. Therefore, in the advantageous section, the opportunity to add to the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 can be given evenly regardless of the set value, so that the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game does not change according to the set value. can do.

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, the CZ lottery, the AT lottery, or the additional lottery can be executed, while the winning probability changes according to the set value. When the winning mode of the bonus is obtained, the CZ lottery, the AT lottery, or the additional lottery is not 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 gaming 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 are provided, and the winning probability of the single winning mode is determined according to the set value. Although it changes, it does not trigger the execution of the CZ lottery, AT lottery, and additional lottery, while the duplicate winning mode does not change the winning probability depending on the set value and triggers the execution of the CZ lottery, AT lottery, and additional lottery. If this is set, the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) is changed according to the set value, and the number of executions of the lottery related to the transition to the advantageous section and the assist time game in the advantageous section in the winning mode including the regular bonus (RB) is increased. You will be able to run a lottery to increase.

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.

In particular, in the present embodiment, when the CZ lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) in the normal section is won, the advantageous section after the end of the BB state which shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). The privilege acquisition game is continuously performed, and it is possible to identify whether the player is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section in the BB state by the lighting state of the section indicator SEC. Therefore, 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 privilege acquisition game can be performed, and the fairness of the game can be ensured.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the end conditions of the advantageous section that does not depend on the value of the clear counter 1917, the CZ state is completed without winning the AT lottery, and one small winning combination is won in the AT end waiting state. Alternatively, it was assumed that the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank was displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state, but the advantageous section is ended by returning the effect state to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state. May be good. In this case, since the winning probability does not change depending on the set value of the big bonus (BB) that triggers the transition of the BB state, the ease of ending the advantageous section changes due to the influence of the set value. Can be prevented.

Further, the transition to the predetermined RT state after the end of the AT state may be set as a condition for ending the advantageous section regardless of the value of the clear counter 1917.

For example, when transition to the non-RT state is set as a condition for initialization processing, when a symbol combination indicating an 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 the status 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, 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) The game information display unit DS may be controlled to display game information indicating the correct batting order, game information indicating the result of the internal lottery, or game information indicating the winning combination 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, a dot display unit that displays operation instruction information and displays a decimal point, etc., is lit according to the display mode of the 7-segment display that displays numbers, etc. The light may be turned off to indicate whether or not the user is staying in the advantageous section. In addition, when the batting order replay is won in the CZ state, the game information corresponding to the type of batting order replay is displayed on the game information display unit DS, and the pressing order (correct answer hitting order) indicated (or suggested) by the game information is produced. The control means 180 may be notified by a winning auxiliary effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, the CZ lottery, 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 CZ A special random number value may be acquired for the lottery, the AT lottery, and the additional lottery, and the winning or losing may be determined by referring to the lottery table in which the acquired random number value is associated with either winning or losing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the CZ end determination counter 1915 is decrement-updated in the CZ state, but it may be incrementally updated. For example, based on winning the CZ lottery, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value "0", and in the CZ state, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 is set every time one game is played. Increment update is performed to add a fixed value "1" corresponding to one game, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value (for example, the value corresponding to the number of games 10:10). The CZ state may be terminated based on.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1916 is decrement updated in the AT state, but it may be incremented and updated. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 is initialized to the initial value "0", and in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 is set every time one game is played. Increment update is performed to add a constant value "1" corresponding to one game, and the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 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 1916 (the AT end determination counter 1916 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1916 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 1916 so that the number of counts counted by the AT end judgment counter 1916 from the current value to reach the threshold value increases. (Update) may be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1916 counts the number of games in the AT state, but the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 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 1916, and once in the AT state. Every time the game is played, the value corresponding to the number of medals inserted (specified number of medals) is incremented and updated to the value of the AT end judgment counter 1916, 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 1916, and the value of the AT end judgment counter 1916 reaches the threshold value (for example, 0) (less than the threshold value). The AT state may be terminated based on the fact that it has become. 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 1916 (the AT end determination counter 1916 is a threshold value from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1916 may be updated so that the number of counts to be counted increases until the value reaches.

Further, for example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1916 is initialized to the initial value "0", and in the AT state, the number of medals inserted (specified insertion) each time a game is played. The decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to the number) from the value of the AT end judgment counter 1916, 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 1916. The increment update is performed to add to the value of, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1916 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 1916 (the AT end determination counter 1916 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1916 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 1916 so that the number of counts counted by the AT end judgment counter 1916 from the current value to reach the threshold value increases. (Update) may be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 as the transition to the advantageous section is performed, 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.

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 CZ 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 every time the game is played, 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. 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 CZ lottery, a value "3000" corresponding to 3000 medals, which is the difference number that is the end condition of the advantageous section, is set in the clear counter 1917, and one game is played in the advantageous section. The number of medals to be paid out is calculated by adding the value corresponding to the number of medals to be inserted (specified number of medals to be inserted) to the value of the clear counter 1917 every time. 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 CZ 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 CZ 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 in the number of medals by the AT end determination counter 1916 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 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 0 frame to 1 frame for 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 example, the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 correspond to the stopped buttons pressed within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed. The rotating reel 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, the player can play a game in which the small winning combination is always won in each game in the BB state, and the game in the BB state and the assist time game in the advantageous section are held by the player. 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, and thus the acquisition of medals is preferably performed. 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 1916 is satisfied, the state shifts to the non-AT state by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section through the AT end waiting state. However, the AT end waiting state may not be provided, and when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, the advantageous section is terminated regardless of the RT state and the initialization process is performed to shift to the non-AT state. You may do so.

Further, in the present embodiment, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied when the game is played a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) in the CZ state. If the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, and if the result of the continuous lottery is lost, the CZ state is terminated and the production state is returned to the non-AT state. You may do it. For example, a continuous lottery is performed based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaching the threshold value, and when the continuous lottery is won, a predetermined value (for example, 10) is reset in the CZ end determination counter 1915. The CZ state may be continued, or the continuous lottery may be continued until the AT lottery is won or the continuous lottery result is lost in the game after the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value. You may play a game, or you may play a continuous lottery every game in the CZ state.

Further, for example, when the CZ lottery is won, the winning auxiliary effect is executed so as to guide the RT state to the RT3 state, and the effect state is set to the non-AT state and the state shifts to the RT3 state until the RT state shifts to the RT3 state. Based on the above, the effect state is shifted to the CZ state, and in the CZ state, the winning auxiliary effect is performed at the time of winning the batting order bell until the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value, and the CZ end determination counter 1915 After the value reached the threshold value, the RT state fell to the non-RT state or the RT1 state without performing the winning assistance effect when the batting order bell was won (a specific symbol combination was displayed on the valid line. The CZ state may be terminated based on the above), or even if the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state even if the value of the CZ end determination counter 1915 does not reach the threshold value, the CZ state may be terminated. The state may be terminated. An RT state for the CZ state may be separately prepared so that the game can be played in the CZ state in the RT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section does not end due to the change in the RT state, but the advantageous section ends on the condition that the RT state changes without winning the CZ lottery after the end of the CZ state. Then, the initialization process may be executed at the end of the advantageous section.

For example, if the player stays in the non-RT state at the end of the CZ state, the RT state does not change even if one winning combination is won in the game after the end of the CZ state, so that the clear counter 1917 is a threshold value. If it does not exceed, the advantageous section continues, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line. Therefore, when the RT1 state is entered, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is executed.

Further, for example, if the player stays in the RT1 state at the end of the CZ state, the RT state does not change even if the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the game after the end of the CZ state. , If the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous section continues, and when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line, the RT1 state is entered or the RT2 state is obtained by winning the replay 2. When the transition to is performed, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is executed.
