Then, in the present embodiment, the power is turned on in a state where the lower front door DD is opened, the setting change key is inserted into the setting key switch 250, the setting change key is rotated to the ON position, and the setting key switch 250 is operated. Then, the setting change means 103 controls the game machine to the setting change permission state. Then, when the setting change button 280 is pressed in the setting change permission state, the setting change means 103 sets the set value in the order of setting 1 → setting 2 ... setting 6 → setting 1 → ... in the setting storage means 197. It fluctuates cyclically. Here, in the present embodiment, when the setting change button 280 is pressed, the setting change switch 260 built in the setting change button 280 is turned on, and the input signal input to the main board 10 is turned on from the off state. When the setting change button 280 in the pressed state is released after changing to the state, the setting change switch 260 is turned off to change the input signal input to the main board 10 from the on state to the off state. The setting changing means 103 cyclically changes the set value every time the input signal from the setting change switch 260 changes from the off state to the on state, that is, every time the input signal from the setting change switch 260 is received. .. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the operation of the start switch 230 in the setting change permission state is a setting confirmation condition, and the set value is determined based on the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by pressing the start lever SL. And terminate the setting change permission state.

The insertion receiving means 105 accepts the insertion of medals for each game, and based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the specified number of insertions (3 medals), the game start operation for the start lever SL (game start operation means) is performed. Perform the process to activate. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first pressing operation of the start lever SL activated based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the specified number of insertions is accepted as the game start operation, and the first reel R1 to the third reel It is an opportunity to start the rotation of R3 and an opportunity to execute an internal lottery.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI (predetermined insertion slot), the medal insertion switch 210 is activated, and the insertion reception means 105 limits the number of insertions to the specified number. , The inserted medal is set to the inserted state (bet state). Specifically, the insertion receiving means 105 performs a bet process in which the inserted medals are set to the inserted state up to the specified number of inserted medals in accordance with the operation of the medal insertion switch 210.

Further, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI with a specified number of inserted medals set in the insertion state, the insertion reception means 105 activates the medal insertion switch 210 to insert the inserted medal. , Credit is possible up to the maximum number of credits, and control is performed to store the number of credited medals as the number of credits. Specifically, the insertion receiving means 105 is credited with the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 with the operation of the medal insertion switch 210 up to the maximum number of credits. A credit addition process is performed to add the number of inserted medals to the number of medals). If a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI while the specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the number of credits has reached the maximum number of credits, the medal insertion switch 210 is used to insert the medal. If it does not operate, the medal will not be accepted (without credit) and will be returned from the medal payout port MO.

Further, when the bet button B0 is pressed while the medals are credited to the gaming machine, the insertion receiving means 105 activates the bet switch 220 and limits the number of inserted medals to the credited medals. Set to the on state. Specifically, the insertion receiving means 105 sets the credited medals in the insertion state up to the specified number of insertions in accordance with the operation of the bet switch 220, and the credits stored in the credit storage area. A credit subtraction process is performed in which the number of medals set in the inserted state is subtracted from the number. In the present embodiment, when the bet button B0 is pressed when the specified number of inserted medals is set to 3, if the number of credited medals is 3 or more, 3 medals are set to the inserted state. If the number of credited medals is two or less, all the credited medals are set to the inserted state.

The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating a random number value for lottery. The random number value can be generated based on, for example, the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the "random number value" includes not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also 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 not of the combination based on the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by the player by the game start operation (the 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 191 of the storage means 190 is used for the internal lottery. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the main lottery table storage means 191 has 10 types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery tables) as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 for each set value of 6 stages from setting 1 to setting 6. 1 to the internal lottery table 10) are stored. The 10 types of internal lottery tables of FIGS. 3 to 5 show an example of an arbitrary set value among the set values of 6 stages. 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 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.

To specifically explain the winning mode of each small winning combination with reference to FIG. 6, the batting order bells 1 to 9 are 2 to 4 types of 1 small winning combination (small winning combination with 1 payout) and 1 It shows that 8 types of small wins (small wins with 8 payouts: an example of a specific win) are won in duplicate, and the common bell is one type of 13 small wins (13 payouts). It shows that the small winning combination (small winning combination) and one type of 14 small winning combination (small winning combination with 14 payouts) are 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). Shows that they will win alone, and JAC has 5 types of 1-card small wins, 1 type of 2-card small wins, 1 type of 3-card small wins, and 1 type of 8-card small wins. It shows that one type of 13-card small winning combination, one type of 14-card small winning combination, and one type of 15-card small winning combination (small winning combination with a payout of 15 cards) are won in duplicate.

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

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

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

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

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, if the set values are different, the combination and the random number value correspond to each other in at least one type of lottery table among 10 types of internal lottery tables (internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 10). The relationship is different.

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

In the random number determination process, 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 191 of the storage means 190. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won by referring to the internal lottery table stored in.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination 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 192 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-carry-over 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 the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the regular big bonus (RBB) is carried over until the regular big bonus (RBB) wins. .. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are successful even in the game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the regular big bonus (RBB) is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, 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. Further, in the present embodiment, when the game state is the CBB state, the lottery flags corresponding to the small winning combination 1 to the small winning combination 10 are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and the replay is performed in the internal lottery. By winning, the lottery flags for both the small role and the replay may be set to the winning state.

The reel control means 130 starts the rotation drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 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 stop order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in principle, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is supposed to stop. 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.

In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the CBB state, exceptionally, the third reel R3 is rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B3 is pressed. The reel is supposed to stop. 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 to 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 CBB 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. However, even in the CBB state, for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed. ..

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the white 7 symbol “white 7” are relative to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , Black 7 symbol "Black 7", BAR symbol "BAR", Replay symbol "RP", Dummy symbol "DUM", Bell symbol "BL", Watermelon symbol A "WMA", Watermelon symbol B "WMB", and Cherry symbol When "CH" is arranged and the symbols existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position are drawn onto the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed. It can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the detection position.

Further, the reel control means 130 is rotating with reference to a process (logic calculation) of obtaining the stop position of the reel being rotated according to the priority and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the storage means 190. The process of determining the stop position of the reel (table reference process) is performed.

First, in the logic calculation, the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated (when the stop button is detected) is within the range of 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position according to the priority data determined for each combination. The priority is obtained for the candidate of the stop position for 5 frames (or 2 frames) existing in (or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame). Then, among the priorities of the candidates for each stop position, the candidate for the stop position having the highest priority is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for 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, the priority of each stop position candidate increases 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 RBB established, the winning of the 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, eight small winning combination will be won. , Priority so that regular big bonus (RBB) winning is avoided when displaying the symbols that make up the winning form of one small winning combination on the effective line even if the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect batting order. Is required. However, when a watermelon or cherry is won, the symbols that make up the winning form of the three small wins that correspond to the watermelon and the two small wins that correspond to the cherry cannot be displayed on the effective line, which is a regular big bonus. Since there is a press detection position where the symbols that make up the winning form of (RBB) can be displayed on the effective line, if a watermelon or cherry is won in the RBB establishment state, the small winning combination will not be won. Regular Big Bonus (RBB) may be won.

Further, when the batting order bell is won in the RBB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the priority small winning combination changes according to the pressing order. For example, when the batting order bell is won in the RBB established state, the batting order bell may be determined. Priority is sought so that the number of symbol combinations that indicate the winning form that can be displayed on the effective line is the maximum regardless of the batting order, and the winning of one small winning combination is higher than the winning of eight small winning combination. The stop position may be determined with priority given to winning a prize. In this way, if one small win is given priority over eight small wins in the RBB established state, the expected value of winning medals in the RBB established state can be suppressed to a lower level, so that it is regular in the RBB established state. The player can be motivated to win the Big Bonus (RBB) as soon as possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell or JAC is won, 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 193 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. 9, 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. 9, 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 (an example of a specific operation mode), The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that eight small wins will be won, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order (an example of an operation mode different from the specific operation mode), one sheet The stop position for the press detection position is set so that there are cases where one of the small winning orders wins and there are cases where a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line without winning any small winning combination. Has been done.

Even if the batting order bell is won in the RBB establishment state, since the winning of the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, 8 small winning combinations will be won in the correct batting order, and 1 small winning combination will be won in the incorrect batting order. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there is a case where a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the effective line without winning any of the winning combinations. In this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won in the RBB establishment state, the symbols constituting the winning form of any of the small winning combinations are always displayed on the effective line when the first stop operation is performed. Because the regular big bonus (RBB) is avoided in the batting order bell, even if neither the 8 small wins nor the 1 small win included in the batting order bell is won, the regular big bonus (RBB) Will not win a prize. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the rotating reels are stopped so that eight small wins are won, and the answer is incorrect. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order, the rotating reels are stopped so that the eight small winning combination does not win.

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

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

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 2 wins. The stop position 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. 10, when any of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 wins. The stop position 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 referred to when any one of the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 is won, the pressing detection position so that the replay 1 wins regardless of the pressing order in any case. The stop position for is set.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the game state is the CBB state, a situation occurs in which the small winning combination and the replay are won in duplicate, and in that case, the small winning combination is not won and the small winning combination is won. There is. When the replay is won in the CBB state, as shown in FIG. 11, a specific batting order is set according to the winning mode of the replay, and whether the stop operation order for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is the specific batting order. The type of small winning combination is different depending on whether or not it is won.

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

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the 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 194. 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, regular big bonus (RBB), challenge big bonus (CBB), replay 1 to replay 6, and so on, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line when each reel is stopped. A winning judgment table is prepared so that it can be determined whether or not the small winning combination 1 to the small winning combination 11 has been won and whether or not the RT fluctuation blank is displayed.

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

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 is determined based on the predetermined dividend for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of dividends are given to the hopper unit. Control the 320 (payout device) to pay out.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. Specifically, when the payout signal output from the payout control means 150 is input, the hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 is based on a payout detection signal that is an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320.

Then, when the small winning combination wins, the payout control means 150 starts outputting a payout signal to the hopper unit 320 and causes the hopper unit 320 to perform an operation of paying out medals, and payout medals. Along with the payout detection signal from the detection switch 325, the number of medals paid out for the number of medals (the number of medals paid out in one game) stored in the payout number storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190. The payout number addition process for adding the numbers is performed, and when the payout number (the number of medals actually paid out) reaches the payout number, the output of the payout signal is stopped and the medal payout operation of the hopper unit 320 is terminated.

If the number of credits stored in the credit storage area is less than the maximum number of credits and the credit (internal storage) of the medal is permitted, instead of actually paying out the medal by the hopper unit 320, With the maximum number of credits as the limit, the credit addition process of adding the number of dividends to the number of credits stored in the credit storage area is performed to virtually pay out the medals. If only a part of the dividend number is credited here, the remaining uncredited medals are actually paid out from the hopper unit 320.

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 performs a game state transition control process for shifting the game state between the normal state, the RBB establishment state, the RBB state, and the CBB 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 RBB establishment state or the CBB state. Specifically, if the regular big bonus (RBB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the RBB establishment state, and if the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal state, the challenge big bonus is always won in the winning game. (CBB) wins a prize and shifts to the CBB state. Further, in the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the internal lottery tables 1 to 1 in which the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are set as the lottery targets. An internal lottery is performed by referring to any of the internal lottery tables 4 according to the RT state. As described above, in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed so that the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) may be won.

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

In the RBB establishment state, the winning or not of the small role and replay is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the regular big bonus (RBB) is maintained in the winning state until the regular big bonus (RBB) is won, and the regular big bonus (RBB) is determined. ) Is displayed on the valid line, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the RBB establishment state to the RBB state based on the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB).

The RBB state is a gaming state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of the regular big bonus (RBB) is displayed on the valid line. In the RBB state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 5 shown in FIGS. 3 to 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 RBB 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 this way, in the RBB state, control is performed so that the lottery flag of the small winning combination is set to the winning state with a higher probability than in the normal state.

In the RBB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the RBB state, and when the number of medals to be paid out exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 300) is paid out. , The game state transition control means 170 ends the RBB state and returns the game state to the normal state.

The CBB state is a gaming state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is displayed on the valid line. In the CBB state, of the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, any of the internal lottery tables 7 to the internal lottery table 10 in which a loss or replay can be obtained as a result of the internal lottery. An internal lottery will be held with reference to the table according to the RT status.

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

Then, in the CBB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the CBB state, and when the number of medals exceeding the predetermined number of medals to be paid out (for example, 13) is paid out. , The game state transition control means 170 ends the CBB state and returns the game state to the normal state. In particular, in the present embodiment, in the CBB state, the second game can be performed by winning 13 small wins in the first game, and the end condition is that 14 small wins are won in the first game. Is established and the second game cannot be performed. That is, in the CBB state, if the replay is won in the first game, an opportunity to win a 13-card small role can be obtained, and if a 13-card small role can be won, a 13-card small role can be won. You can win more medals than if you couldn't.

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. 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. Further, in the non-RT state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 7 (CBB state) set in 3.3. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the RBB state, the RT state is initialized and set to the non-RT state, and when the gaming state is the normal state, the non-RT state is set. When one small winning combination wins in an RT state other than the above, 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 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 2 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 8 (CBB state) 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 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are set as the winning modes of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 9 (CBB state) 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 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, normal replay 1 to normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 4 (normal state) or the internal lottery table 10 (CBB state) set to 0. In the internal lottery table 4 that is referred to when staying in the RT3 state in the normal state, the correspondence between the combination and the random number value is set so that the result of the internal lottery will not be lost.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is staying in the normal state or the CBB state, the RT control means 173 shifts the RT state according to each of the above fluctuation conditions, and in particular, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won and won. , And the RT state is not changed by the end of the CBB state.

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

As shown in FIG. 15, the AT control means 175 includes a plurality of types of effect states including a non-AT state (an example of a normal effect state), an AT preparation state, an AT state (an example of a special effect state), and an AT end waiting state. The effect state is changed (shifted) between the two, the effect state is set to the AT state under a predetermined condition, and the AT state is set based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 (an example of the first specific counter). The success or failure of the end condition is determined, and control is performed to end the AT state when the end condition of the AT state is satisfied. In the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state or the game staying in the AT state, the effect control means 180 assists the winning of eight small wins (small win 6) by notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won. The prize-winning auxiliary production is performed, and if the replay is won in the first game in the CBB state, the specific batting order is notified so that the second game can be performed, and 13 small roles (small role 9) are won. A supplementary prize-winning effect is performed, and in the second game in the CBB state, a prize-winning assistance effect is performed to assist the winning of 14 small batting orders (small role 10), and the game staying in the non-AT state. It is possible to play games that are easier to win medals than.

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

Then, when the AT lottery is won, the AT control means 175 shifts the effect state from the non-AT state to the AT preparation state, and in the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 wins a prize so as to lead the RT state to the RT3 state. Auxiliary production is executed.

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

In addition, when the AT lottery based on the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB) or the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, the winning information of the AT lottery is retained until the end of the RBB state or the CBB state, and the RBB state or the CBB state is changed. When the game state returns to the normal state after the end, the effect state is set to the AT preparation state, and the state shifts to the AT state via the AT preparation 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, the batting order bell is won until the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line. There will be no winning assistance production.

Further, the AT control means 175 sets a value "100" corresponding to 100 times, which is the number of games that is the end condition of the AT state, in the AT end determination counter 195 based on winning the AT lottery, and sets the AT state. Then, every time one game is played, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a constant value "1" corresponding to one game is subtracted from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195. Update the decrement. If the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) wins in the AT state and the game state shifts to the CBB state, only the first game will be subject to decrement renewal, and the second game will not be subject to decrement renewal. It has become. That is, in the AT state, even if the CBB state ends in one game, even if it ends in two games, only one game is counted. Further, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 195 is continued even in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to an operation error of the player.

Then, when the storage value of the AT end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value "0", the AT control means 175 determines that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the AT control means 175 terminates the AT state. The effect state is set to the AT end standby state, and when the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, in the AT end standby state after the end of the AT state, the winning auxiliary effect at the time of winning the batting order bell by the effect control means 180 is not performed. The display of the above makes it easier for the RT state to fall into the non-RT state or the RT1 state. As the effect state after the end of the AT state, the non-AT state may be restored without providing the AT end standby state. The conditions for returning from the AT end waiting state to the non-AT state are, for example, that the stop operation was performed in the incorrect batting order when the batting order bell was won, and the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line. Alternatively, one small winning combination may be awarded.

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

Further, in the present embodiment, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section based on the fact that the AT lottery is won in the normal section. Therefore, in the AT lottery of the present embodiment, in addition to whether or not to shift the effect state to the AT state, it is also determined whether or not to shift the game section to the advantageous section.

Further, in the AT state, when the winning mode of the small winning combination obtained in the internal lottery is watermelon, cherry, or a common bell, the AT control means 175 ends the AT according to the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery. An additional lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add a given added value to the stored value of the determination counter 195. When the winning mode of the small winning combination obtained by the internal lottery was watermelon, cherry, or a common bell, the AT lottery was performed in the non-AT state, but the AT lottery was replaced in the AT state. And a lottery will be held.

In the additional lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number values are compared with the additional lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 191 according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the additional lottery has been won. In the additional lottery table, either winning or losing is associated with each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767, and the random number values obtained in the additional 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, an additional lottery table is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables according to the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is "watermelon <cherry <common bell". It is getting higher in the order of ". In addition, as for the additional value when the additional lottery is won, the larger additional value is selected in the order of "cherry <common bell <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.

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

Further, the AT control means 175 sets the lottery state of the AT lottery to the high probability state based on the establishment of the end condition of the AT state, and makes the lottery state of the AT lottery stay in the high probability state in the AT end waiting state. Then, when the production state shifts from the AT end waiting state to the non-AT state, the AT lottery state is set to the medium probability state, and in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the AT lottery lottery state is set according to the RT state. When the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is kept in the medium probability state, and when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery of the AT lottery is made. Make the state stay in a high probability state. In the normal section, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the low probability state regardless of the RT state.

Then, in the present embodiment, an end lottery is performed to determine whether to end the medium probability state or the high probability state based on the fact that the replay is won while staying in the non-AT state in the advantageous section. In the end lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number values are compared with the end lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 191 according to the comparison result. To determine whether or not the end lottery has been won. In the end lottery table, either winning or losing is associated with each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767, and the random number values obtained in the end lottery correspond to winning in the end lottery table. If so, it is determined that the end lottery has been won. When the end lottery is won, the initialization process is performed by the initialization means 177 described later, and the lottery state of the AT lottery is initialized to the low probability state by the initialization process. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the end of the AT state, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the high probability state in the AT end waiting state, and after the transition from the AT end waiting state to the non-AT state, the end lottery is won. Until, the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the medium probability state or the high probability state, and after the end of the AT state, it is easy to win the AT lottery.

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

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

Then, in the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 196 (an example of the second specific counter) in the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and one game is performed in the advantageous section. Every time, an increment update is performed by adding a constant value (for example, 1) to the stored value of the clear counter 196, and the advantageous section ends based on the fact that the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value (for example, 1501). The conditions are met. In the present embodiment, the clear counter 196 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 196 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. Then, once the advantageous section is started, the clear counter 196 is continuously updated regardless of changes in the effect state, the game state, and the RT state, unless the end condition of the advantageous section is met, and the AT preparation state and AT The clear counter 196 is updated even if the transition to each effect state such as the preparation state occurs. If you win the AT lottery held at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB), but the bonus does not win and you move to the advantageous section via the internal middle waiting section, the internal middle waiting section will be used. The update of the clear counter 196 is not performed, and the update of the clear counter 196 is started at the same time as the start of the advantageous section. If the result of the AT lottery held at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB) is lost (unwinning), even if the bonus is won, the player will stay in the normal section without shifting to the advantageous section. In addition, if the result of the AT lottery held at the time of winning the regular big bonus (RBB) is a loss (unwinning), even if the regular big bonus (RBB) is not won in the game, it will be in the internal waiting section. Let them stay in the normal section without making a transition. In addition, the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is always won in the winning game, but if the result of the AT lottery held at the time of winning the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is lost (unwinning). , Even if the bonus is won, it will stay in the normal section without shifting to the advantageous section.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the interval is shifted to the normal section with the end of the advantageous section, and the initialization process is executed with the shift to the normal section. .. Therefore, when the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value while staying in the AT state, the AT state is changed based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 by the initialization process when shifting to the normal section. Even if the end condition is not satisfied, the AT state is forcibly terminated and initialized to the non-AT state.

In addition, when the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value while staying in the AT ready state, the AT prepared state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process when shifting to the normal section, and the AT ready state is not set. At the same time as being initialized to the AT state, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 set at the time of winning the AT lottery is also initialized to the initial value (for example, 0).

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

Further, in the present embodiment, when the storage value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the initialization process is immediately executed regardless of the effect state, the game state, and the RT state. Since the game state and the RT state are not initialized, if the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value while staying in the RBB established state, the player stays in the RBB established state even after the initialization process. When the storage value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation of staying in the RBB state or the CBB state, the RBB state or the CBB state continues even after the initialization process and stays in the RT3 state. When the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value, the RT3 state remains even after the initialization process.

Further, in the present embodiment, the clear counter 195 is initialized based on the condition that the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, and specifically, the stored value of the clear counter 195 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0). NS. The clear counter 195 may be initialized in the initialization process.

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

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

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

First, the method of calculating the advantageous section stay ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section are totaled as data for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the storage means 190 stores the total number of games variable (an example of the first variable), which is a variable corresponding to the total number of games, and the total number of games counter 203 (total number of games). Advantageous section game count counter 204 (advantageous section game count storage means) that stores the advantageous section game count variable (an example of the second variable), which is a variable corresponding to the total number of games in the advantageous section. (Example), and these counters are composed of storage areas of 3B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board 10.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 performs an increment update in which a constant value (for example, "1") corresponding to one game is added to the stored value of the total number of games counter 203 each time the game is played. In the present embodiment, when a game is played, the total number of games counter 203 is incremented and updated regardless of the game section, the game state, the effect state, and the RT state. On the other hand, regarding the advantageous section game count counter 204, only in the case of the advantageous section, a constant value corresponding to one game is stored in the stored value of the advantageous section game counter 204 each time one game is played. Increment update is performed to add "1". The update of the advantageous section game count counter 204 is started from the next game of the game that won the AT lottery in the normal section (the game in which the transition process to the advantageous section is performed). However, if you win the AT lottery based on the winning of the Regular Big Bonus (RBB) or Challenge Big Bonus (CBB), from the next game of the game in which the bonus was won (the game in which the transition process to the advantageous section was performed) It will be started. As described above, in the present embodiment, the total number of games variable (total number of games) stored in the total number of games counter 203 is updated every time one game is played, and one game is performed in the advantageous section. An update process is performed for each time to update the advantageous section game count variable (total number of games in the advantageous section) stored in the advantageous section game count counter 204.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 is based on the total game count variable A1 stored in the total game count counter 203 and the advantageous section game count variable A2 stored in the advantageous section game count counter 204, and “(A2 × 100). By performing the calculation of "/ A1", the ratio calculation process for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio as a percentage is performed, and the calculated advantageous section stay ratio (%) is overwritten in the predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 202 and stored. In the present embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated for each game. Specifically, the total number of games variable is updated every time one game is played, and the variable for the number of advantageous section games when the section is advantageous. Is calculated after performing the update process.

Next, the method of calculating the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) is provided as the bonus continuous operation device related to the first-class special bonus, and the second kind The Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is provided as a continuous operation device for the special character, and the regular big bonus (RBB) is a combination of symbols indicating the winning form of the regular bonus (RB), which is the first-class special character. The regular bonus (RB) operates continuously regardless of the display, and the challenge big bonus (CBB) is a combination of symbols indicating the winning form of the challenge bonus (CB), which is a second-class special character. The challenge bonus (CB) operates continuously regardless of the display. Then, in the present embodiment, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine as data for calculating the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio, and the medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the first-class special bonus. The number of continuous bonus payouts, which is the number of medals, and the number of bonus payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the bonus, are totaled.

Specifically, in the RBB state that shifts with the winning of the regular big bonus (RBB), the regular bonus (RB), which is a first-class special character, is operating in all games, so the RBB state. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in is counted as both the number of continuous bonuses paid out and the number of bonuses paid out, and in the CBB state that shifts with the winning of the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB), the second type special role is used in all games. Since the challenge bonus (CB), which is an object (one of the accessories), is in operation, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CBB state is the number of continuous bonuses paid out and the number of bonuses paid out. It is counted only as the number of bonuses paid out. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state is totaled as the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB state or CBB state is totaled as the number of bonuses paid out. Further, in the present embodiment, as data for calculating the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the 6000 games (an example of a predetermined aggregation period), the number of games for one set out of 15 divisions of the 6000 games is used. While totaling the number of medals paid out for the above three types in 400 games (an example of a predetermined standard aggregation period), one set of 400 games is set and the number of medals paid out for 15 sets of the above three types is 1. Aggregate individually for each set.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the storage means 190 stores variables corresponding to the cumulative total of 400 games for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. For each of the storage means 198 (an example of the standard aggregation period cumulative storage means), the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts, 400 games are set as one set, and 15 sets of data are individually set for each set. Stores 15 sets of individual storage means 199 (an example of cumulative storage means for the standard aggregation period) and variables corresponding to the cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. 15 sets cumulative storage means 200 (an example of payout number storage means) and total cumulative storage means 201 (payout number) that stores variables corresponding to the total cumulative total for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. It is equipped with an example of storage means).

Further, the 400-time cumulative storage means 198 stores a variable corresponding to the cumulative number of payouts in 400 games, the 400-time cumulative first counter 198a, and a variable corresponding to the cumulative number of continuous bonus payouts in 400 games. A 400-time cumulative second counter 198b and a 400-time cumulative third counter 198c that stores variables corresponding to the cumulative number of bonuses paid out in 400 games are provided, and these counters are preset in the RAM of the main board 10. It is composed of a storage area of 2B (bytes) each.

Then, when the medals are paid out, the ratio calculation means 178 is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the stored value of the first counter 198a of the cumulative total of 400 times (for example, a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one medal ". 1 ”) is added. In the present embodiment, when the medal is paid out, a process of updating the stored value of the cumulative first counter 198a 400 times is performed regardless of the game section, the game state, the effect state, and the RT state. On the other hand, regarding the 400-time cumulative second counter 198b, when the medals are paid out only when the game state is the RBB state, it corresponds to the number of medals paid out to the stored value of the 400-time cumulative second counter 198b. (For example, the value "1" corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one medal) is added, and the game state is the RBB state or the CBB state for the 400th cumulative third counter 198c. When medals are paid out, the value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the stored value of the third counter 198c accumulated 400 times (for example, the value "1" corresponding to the number of medals paid out) is displayed. The process of adding is performed.

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

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the 15-set individual storage means 199 collects data for 15 sets for each set, with 400 games as one set for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. As storage areas to be individually stored, 15 areas of 2B (bytes) preset in the RAM of the main board 10 are provided for each number of payouts, and each storage area is a cumulative total of 400 games (1 set). Data is stored for 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set for the number of payouts, and 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set for the number of continuous bonus payouts. Each of the 15 storage areas to be stored and the 15 storage areas for individually storing 15 sets of individual cumulative totals for each set for the number of bonus items to be paid out are stored in order from the beginning of the storage area. It is configured as a ring buffer that returns to the beginning and stores it when it reaches the end of. Therefore, for example, when the 16th set of data is stored in the state where the 15 sets of individual storage means 199 stores the data of the 1st to 15th sets, the storage area in which the 1st set of data is stored is stored. The 16th set of data is overwritten, whereby the latest data is overwritten and stored in the previously stored data.

Further, the 15-set cumulative storage means 200 is preset in the RAM of the main board 10 as a storage area for storing variables corresponding to the cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts. Each 3B (byte) area is provided, and the total cumulative storage means 201 is a total cumulative first counter that stores a payout variable (an example of the first variable) which is a variable corresponding to the total cumulative number of payouts (total number of payouts). 201a, the total cumulative second counter 201b that stores the continuous bonus variable (an example of the second variable), which is a variable corresponding to the total cumulative number of continuous bonus payouts (total number of continuous bonus payouts), and the number of bonus payouts. A total cumulative third counter 201c for storing a variable (an example of a second variable) which is a variable corresponding to the total cumulative total (total number of bonus payouts) is provided, and these counters are preset in the RAM of the main board 10. It is composed of each 3B (byte) storage area.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 is a cumulative total of 400 games for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts stored in the 400-time cumulative storage means 198 for every 400 games played. Data (stored values of the 400-time cumulative first counter 198a, the 400-time cumulative second counter 198b, and the 400-time cumulative third counter 198c) are transferred to and stored in 15 sets of individual storage means 199. As described above, in the present embodiment, for every 400 games played, the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts stored in the cumulative storage means 198 are 400 times. The cumulative data is stored in 15 sets of individual storage means 199, and after 6000 games have passed, 400 games related to the number of payouts stored in the cumulative storage means 198 every 400 games have passed. The cumulative data in the 15 sets of individual storage means 199 is overwritten and stored in the cumulative data of 400 games related to the number of payouts stored first, and the continuous character payout stored in the 400 times cumulative storage means 198 is stored. The cumulative data of 400 games related to the number is overwritten and stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 199 by overwriting the cumulative data of the 400 games of the continuous bonus payout number stored in the individual storage means 199, and stored in the 400 times cumulative storage means 198. The cumulative data of the stored 400 games of the number of bonuses paid out is overwritten and stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 199 by overwriting the cumulative data of the 400 games of the number of bonuses paid out.

Further, the ratio calculation means 178 updates the cumulative total and the total cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts every time the game is played 400 times. Specifically, when the latest data is stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 199, the ratio calculation means 178 stores the total number of payouts for 15 sets, 15 sets stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 199. The total number of consecutive bonuses paid out for each minute and the total number of bonuses paid out for 15 sets are calculated, and the calculated cumulative total of 15 sets (variables corresponding to the cumulative total of 15 sets) is determined by the 15-set cumulative storage means 200. The cumulative total of 15 sets is updated by overwriting the storage area of.

Further, when the latest data is stored in the 15 sets of individual storage means 199, the ratio calculation means 178 sets the storage value of the total cumulative first counter 201a of the total cumulative storage means 201 to the storage value of the total cumulative first counter 198a 400 times. Add, add the stored value of the total cumulative second counter 201b to the stored value of the total cumulative second counter 198b 400 times, and add the stored value of the 400 times cumulative third counter 198c to the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 201c. Perform processing. In this way, the total cumulative storage means 201 accumulates and counts the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts, thereby accumulating and counting the total cumulative total (variables corresponding to the total cumulative total: payout variables, continuous bonus variables). , And the character variable), and the total cumulative total is updated every time 400 games are played. In the present embodiment, the total cumulative total is not limited to the case where the total cumulative total is updated every time 400 games are played, and the total cumulative total may be updated every time a medal is paid out. In this case, the total total total is updated. The cumulative 1st counter 201a is always updated every time a medal is paid out, and the total cumulative 2nd counter 201b is updated every time a medal is paid out only when the game state is the RBB state. The cumulative third counter 201c may be updated every time a medal is paid out only when the gaming state is the RBB state or the CBB state.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 is stored in the 15-set cumulative storage means 200, and is a variable corresponding to the cumulative total of 15 sets of payouts, which is a 15-set payout variable (an example of the first variable) B1 and continuous bonus payout. Based on 15 sets of continuous bonus variables (an example of the second variable) B2, which is a variable corresponding to the cumulative total of 15 sets of numbers, the calculation of "(B2 x 100) / B1" is performed in 6000 games. Ratio calculation processing that calculates the continuous bonus ratio as a percentage, and 15 sets of 15 sets of payout variables and 15 sets of bonus payouts that correspond to the cumulative B1 of 15 sets of payouts stored in the 15 sets cumulative storage means 200. Based on 15 sets of bonus variables (an example of the second variable) B3, which is a variable corresponding to the cumulative total, the bonus ratio in 6000 games is calculated as a percentage by performing the calculation of "(B3 x 100) / B1". The calculated ratio calculation process is performed, and the calculated continuous accessory ratio (%) and accessory ratio (%) are overwritten in a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 202 and stored.

Further, the ratio calculation means 178 is based on "(C2 × 100) / C1" based on the payout variable C1 stored in the total cumulative first counter 201a and the continuous accessory variable C2 stored in the total cumulative second counter 201b. Is stored in the payout variable C1 and the total cumulative third counter 201c stored in the total cumulative first counter 201a and the ratio calculation process for calculating the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games as a percentage. Based on the existing accessory variable C3, the ratio calculation process for calculating the accessory ratio in the total number of games as a percentage is performed by performing the calculation of "(C3 x 100) / C1", and the calculated continuous accessory ratio (%). ) And the accessory ratio (%) are overwritten in the predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 202 and stored.

In the present embodiment, the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the 6000 games or the total number of games are calculated every 400 games, and specifically, every 400 games are played. It is calculated after updating the cumulative total and total cumulative total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the 400-time cumulative storage means 198 is initialized every time the game is played 400 times, but the data is retained without being initialized at other occasions. For example, the data is retained without being initialized depending on the start or end of the RBB state or the CBB state, or the start or end of the advantageous section. Further, the 15 sets individual cumulative storage means 19, the 15 sets cumulative storage means 200, the total cumulative storage means 201, the ratio storage means 202, the total game count counter 203, and the advantageous section game count counter 204 are initialized in any situation. The data is always retained without being executed, and is initialized regardless of any trigger including, for example, the start or end of the RBB state or the CBB state, or the start or end of the advantageous section. The data is retained without any need.

Further, the 400-time cumulative storage means 198, the 15-set individual cumulative storage means 19, the 15-set cumulative storage means 200, the total cumulative storage means 201, the ratio storage means 202, the total game count counter 203, and the advantageous section game count counter 204 are games. Data is retained without being initialized by operations on the operating means provided in the machine. For example, data is retained without being initialized even when the set value is changed, and it is also initialized by turning the power on / off. The data is retained without being used. Therefore, the total cumulative first counter 201a, the total cumulative second counter 201b, or the total cumulative third counter 201c of the total cumulative storage means 201 3B (bytes), or the total number of games counter 203 of the 3B (bytes) or the advantageous section game. A situation may occur in which the stored value of the count counter 204 reaches the upper limit value, but when the stored value of a predetermined counter among these counters reaches the upper limit value, the counting is stopped. Specifically, among the three types of counters of the total cumulative storage means 201, the counter that first reaches the upper limit is the total cumulative first counter 201a that counts the number of payouts, so that the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 201a is When the upper limit is reached, the update of the total cumulative first counter 201a, the total cumulative second counter 201b, and the total cumulative third counter 201c is stopped, and the first of the total game count counter 203 and the advantageous section game count counter 204 Since the counter that reaches the upper limit value is the total number of games counter 203 that counts the number of games, when the stored value of the total number of games counter 203 reaches the upper limit value, the total number of games counter 203 and the advantageous section game number counter 204 Stop updating.

2. Method of this embodiment

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 23 to 24, a calculation method for calculating the ratio of the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous accessory ratio, the accessory ratio, and the like will be described by taking the advantageous section stay ratio as an example.

In the present embodiment, the program for controlling the operation of the gaming machine is described in assembler language or the like, and there are restrictions such that the assembler cannot calculate the decimal point and multiplication can be performed only by 1B (bytes). Then, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section stay ratio (%) is calculated by the formula of "(advantageous section game count variable A2 / total game count variable A1) x 100", but in the formula, (A2 / A1). There is a possibility that a decimal point will occur at the time of calculation, and the assembler cannot calculate the decimal point. It will be calculated, and there is a risk that a value that is significantly different from the actual value will be calculated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the calculation order is changed and the calculation is performed in the order of "(A2 × 100) / A1". Further, in the present embodiment, the data of the total game number variable A1 and the advantageous section game number variable A2 used for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio are each composed of 3B (bytes), and cannot be calculated as they are. Therefore, the approximate value is calculated by using the multiplication of 1B (bytes).

Specifically, the ratio calculation means 178 has a value of "1" (true) in the original data of 3B (bytes) for the advantageous section game number variable A2 as shown in FIG. 23 (A). 8-bit data including the upper bit and bits continuous from the bit in the lower direction as much as possible is extracted from the original data, and the extracted 1B (byte) data is used as the data of the advantageous section game number variable A2. Specifically, for the original data of 3B (bytes) of the advantageous section game count variable A2, each bit is searched from the most significant bit to the least significant bit, and the bytes other than the least significant bit (upper and middle 2) are searched. The most significant bit (1 byte) having a value of "1" is searched for in (bytes), and 8 consecutive bits (1 byte) in the lower direction are extracted from the bit including the found bit. However, if there is no bit whose value is "1" in the upper 2B (bytes), the lowest 1B (bytes) is extracted as it is. Then, the extracted 1B (byte) data is used as the data of the advantageous section game number variable A2.

Further, regarding the total game count variable A1, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the bit at the position corresponding to the position of the lowest bit in the 1B (byte) data extracted from the original data of the advantageous section game count variable A2 and the bit. A maximum of 16 bits of data including bits continuous in the upper direction from the bits are extracted from the original data to form 2B (bytes) of data, and the formed 2B (bytes) of data is used as the total number of games variable. Let it be A1 data. Specifically, regarding the 3B (byte) original data of the total game count variable A1, the original data of the lowest bit in the 1B (byte) data extracted from the 3B (byte) original data of the advantageous section game count variable A2. 16 bits (2 bytes) continuous in the upper direction are extracted from the bit including the bit at the position corresponding to the position in. However, when extracting 16-bit data, 16-bit data cannot be extracted unless the bits at positions exceeding the most significant bit in the original data of 3B (bytes) of the total game count variable A1 are extracted. Form 16-bit data with all the values set to "0" for the bits at positions exceeding the most significant bit. On the other hand, when 16-bit data can be extracted from the original data of 3B (bytes) of the total number of games variable A1, the extracted data is formed as it is as 2B (bytes) data. Then, the 2B (byte) data extracted and formed is used as the data of the total number of games variable A1.

Then, the ratio calculation means 178 is 3B (bytes) when there is no bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the most significant bit in the data extracted from the original data in the original data of the total number of games variable A1. ), The data of the advantageous section game count variable A2 of 1B (bytes) extracted from the original data of 3B (bytes), and the data of the total game count variable A1 of 2B (bytes) formed by extracting from the original data of 3B (bytes). The advantageous section stay ratio is calculated by performing the ratio calculation process. Specifically, in the ratio calculation process, a coefficient for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio as a percentage in the advantageous section game number variable A2 extracted from the original data of 3B (bytes) (for example, 100 (1 byte) in decimal notation). The multiplication result obtained by multiplying the data "01100100")) is divided by the total number of games variable A1 formed by extracting from the original data of 3B (bytes), and the value of the quotient obtained by dividing is the advantageous section. Use the value of the stay ratio. As a result, an approximate value of the advantageous section stay ratio (%) is calculated.

On the other hand, if there is a bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the highest-order bit in the data extracted from the original data in the original data of the total game count variable A1, the advantageous section game count variable A2 is used. Since the total number of games variable A1 is overwhelmingly larger (specifically, a value of 256 times or more), the values of the original data of the total number of games variable A1 and the advantageous section game number variable A2 are used. When the ratio calculation of "A2 x 100) / A1" is performed, the calculation result becomes a value of less than 1% (specifically, a value of less than 0.4 (= 1/256)%), so the ratio calculation process is performed. The value of the advantageous section stay ratio is set to 0 (%), which is a predetermined value.

Next, as specific numerical values, a case where the total number of games in the advantageous section is 24543 (times) and the total number of games is 131071 (times) will be described as an example.

In this example, in the original data of 3B (bytes) of the advantageous section game number variable A2 showing 24543 (times), as shown in FIG. 23 (A), the value of the upper 2B (bytes) is "1". Since the most significant bit is the 15th bit, 8 bits from the 8th bit to the 15th bit, which are 8 bits continuous from the 15th bit in the lower direction, are extracted, and the extracted 1B (byte) data is advantageous. It is used as the data of the section game count variable A2. Then, the advantageous section game number variable A2 becomes 191 in decimal notation.

Further, in the original data of 3B (bytes) of the total number of games variable A1 showing 131071 (times), as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the data of 1B (bytes) extracted from the original data of the advantageous section number of games variable A2. Since the bit at the position corresponding to the position of the lowest bit in is the 8th bit, 16 bits from the 8th bit to the 23rd bit, which are 16 bits continuous from the 8th bit in the upper direction, are extracted and 16 bits are extracted. Since the bit data could be extracted, the extracted data is formed as it is as 2B (bytes) data, and the formed 2B (bytes) data is used as the data of the total number of games variable A1. Then, the total number of games variable A1 becomes 1023 in decimal notation.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), in the original data of the total number of games variable A1, the bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the highest-order bit in the data extracted from the original data is Since it does not exist (because the value of the 24th bit, which is a bit higher than the 23rd bit, which is the most significant bit in the data extracted from the original data, is "0"), the data extracted from the original data is used. The advantageous section stay ratio is calculated by performing the ratio calculation process using the data. Specifically, in the ratio calculation process, it is obtained by multiplying 191 which is the advantageous section game number variable A2 extracted from the original data of 3B (bytes) by 100 which is a coefficient for calculating the advantageous section stay ratio as a percentage. The multiplication result is divided by 1023, which is the total number of games variable A1 extracted from the original data of 3B (bytes). Then, since 18 is obtained as the value of the quotient, the value (approximate value) is set as the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio.

Here, the error between the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio calculated by the calculation method of the present embodiment and the actual numerical value will be explained. The ratio calculation can be performed using the data obtained by extracting specific bits from the original data. Ratio using data (hereinafter referred to as omitted data) in which the values of all bits lower than the lowest bit in the data extracted from the original data (all lower bits not extracted) are set to "0". It means to do the calculation. Specifically, in the above example, as shown in FIG. 24A, when 8 bits from the 8th bit to the 15th bit are extracted from the original data for the advantageous section game number variable A2, the original data Assuming that the values of all the bits (bits from the 1st bit to the 7th bit) lower than the lowest bit in the data extracted from the original data are "0", the value indicated by the omitted data is expressed in decimal notation. Is 24448, which is 128 times the 191 (decimal notation) indicated by the 8-bit data extracted from the original data.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 24 (B), when 16 bits from the 8th bit to the 23rd bit are extracted from the original data for the total number of games variable A1, the data extracted from the original data is used. Assuming that the values of all the bits lower than the lowest bit (bits from the 1st bit to the 7th bit) are "0", the value indicated by the abbreviated data is 130944 in decimal notation, which is the original data. It is 128 times the 1023 (decimal notation) indicated by the 16-bit data formed by extracting from.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the ratio of the value indicated by the 8-bit data extracted from the original data for the game count variable A2 to the value indicated by the omitted data, and the total game count variable A1 are formed by extracting from the original data. Since the ratios of the values indicated by the 16-bit data and the values indicated by the omitted data are the same, the ratio calculation is performed using the data obtained by extracting specific bits from the original data as in the present embodiment. Is to perform the ratio calculation using the abbreviated data in which the values of all the bits lower than the lowest bit in the data extracted from the original data are set to "0" in the original data. Then, in the present embodiment, regarding the game count variable A2, there is a difference between the value indicated by the original data and the value indicated by the omitted data only in the lower digits that affect the numbers after the decimal point in the final calculation result of the ratio calculation. Similarly, for the total number of games variable A1, the value indicated by the original data and the value indicated by the omitted data differ only in the lower digits that affect the numbers after the decimal point in the final calculation result of the ratio calculation. According to the calculation method of the present embodiment, the approximate value can be calculated without causing a large error.

Specifically, in the examples shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio calculated by the calculation method of the present embodiment is about 18.67% (= (191 × 100) / 1023). On the other hand, the actual value is about 18.72% (= (24543 × 100) / 131071), so the error is about 0.05% (= 18.72-18.67). As described above, in the present embodiment, the approximate value of the advantageous section stay ratio can be calculated with an error of less than 1%.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to enable the highest-order bit having a value of "1" from the original data of the advantageous section game number variable A2 of 3B (bytes) and bits continuous in the lower direction from the bit. Extract 1B (bytes) of data including as much as possible to obtain the data of the advantageous section game count variable A2, and extract up to 16 bits from the original data of the total game count variable A1 according to (corresponding to) this extracted data. Then, 2B (bytes) of data is formed to obtain the data of the total number of games variable A1, and the ratio is calculated in the order of "(A2 x 100) / A1" using these data to obtain the advantageous section stay ratio. Since the calculation is performed, the advantageous section stay ratio can be appropriately calculated from the original data of 3B (bytes) in the assembler having restrictions such as the fact that the decimal point cannot be calculated and the multiplication can be performed only between 1B (bytes).

Further, in the present embodiment, some data (specific bits) are extracted from the original data so that only the lower digits that affect the numbers after the decimal point are different in the final calculation result of the ratio calculation. Since the ratio is calculated using the extracted data, the approximate value can be calculated without causing a large error, and the approximate value can be calculated with an error of less than 1%.

Further, in the present embodiment, the approximate value of the advantageous section stay ratio is calculated with an error of less than 1%, and the calculated numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed in 1% units. The advantageous section stay ratio can be calculated with an error that does not cause any influence, and the advantageous section stay ratio can be calculated with sufficient accuracy.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed in units of 1%, "0" is displayed as the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio when the advantageous section stay ratio is less than 1%. In the present embodiment, when the final calculation result of the ratio calculation is less than 1% in such a display specification, the advantageous section stay ratio is set to 0% without performing the ratio calculation, so that the process is simplified. You will be able to.

In the present embodiment, the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio can also be calculated by the same method as the above calculation method. For example, when calculating the continuous bonus ratio in 6000 games, the highest-order bit whose value is "1" from the original data of 15 sets of continuous bonus variables B2 of 3B (bytes) and the lower direction from the bit. 1B (bytes) of data containing as many consecutive bits as possible is extracted to obtain 15 sets of continuous accessory variable B2 data, and 15 sets of original data of the payout variable B1 are matched (corresponding to) the extracted data. A maximum of 16 bits are extracted from the data to form 2B (byte) data to obtain 15 sets of payout variable B1 data, and the ratio is calculated in the order of "(B2 x 100) / B1" using these data. This makes it possible to calculate the ratio of continuous winnings in 6000 games. However, if there is a bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the most significant bit in the data extracted from the original data in the original data of the 15-set payout variable B1, the game 6000 is performed without performing the ratio calculation. The numerical value of the continuous accessory ratio in the times can be set to 0 (%), which is a predetermined value. Further, for example, when calculating the bonus ratio in 6000 games, the highest-order bit having a value of "1" from the original data of 15 sets of 3B (bytes) bonus variable B3 and the bit in the lower direction from the bit. 1B (bytes) of data containing as many consecutive bits as possible is extracted to obtain 15 sets of accessory variable B3 data, and the maximum is obtained from the original data of 15 sets of payout variables B1 according to (corresponding to) this extracted data. By extracting 16 bits in and forming 2B (bytes) of data to obtain 15 sets of payout variable B1 data, and using these data, perform ratio calculation in the order of "(B3 x 100) / B1". It is possible to calculate the accessory ratio in 6000 games. However, if there is a bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the most significant bit in the data extracted from the original data in the original data of the 15-set payout variable B1, the game 6000 is performed without performing the ratio calculation. The numerical value of the accessory ratio in the times can be set to 0 (%), which is a predetermined predetermined value.

Further, for example, when calculating the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games played, the highest-order bit having a value of "1" from the original data of the continuous bonus variable C2 of 3B (bytes) and the bit in the lower direction from the bit. 1B (bytes) of data containing as many consecutive bits as possible is extracted to obtain the data of the continuous accessory variable C2, and up to 16 bits from the original data of the payout variable C1 according to (corresponding to) the extracted data. Is extracted to form 2B (byte) data to obtain the data of the payout variable C1, and the ratio is calculated in the order of "(C2 x 100) / C1" using these data to make the total number of games continuous. It is possible to calculate the accessory ratio. However, if there is a bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the most significant bit in the data extracted from the original data in the original data of the payout variable C1, the ratio is not calculated and the total number of games is counted. The numerical value of the continuous accessory ratio can be set to 0 (%), which is a predetermined value. Further, for example, when calculating the bonus ratio in the total number of games played, the highest-order bit having a value of "1" from the original data of the bonus variable C3 of 3B (bytes) and the bit continuous in the lower direction from the bit. 1B (bytes) of data containing as many bits as possible is extracted to obtain the data of the accessory variable C3, and up to 16 bits are extracted from the original data of the payout variable C1 according to (corresponding to) the extracted data. 2B (bytes) of data is formed to be the data of the payout variable C1, and the ratio is calculated in the order of "(C3 x 100) / C1" using these data to determine the bonus ratio in the total number of games played. Can be calculated. However, if there is a bit whose value is "1" in the higher-order direction than the most significant bit in the data extracted from the original data in the original data of the payout variable C1, the ratio is not calculated and the total number of games is counted. The numerical value of the accessory ratio can be set to 0 (%), which is a predetermined value. As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the assembler having various restrictions, the ratios such as the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio can be appropriately calculated from the original data of 3B (bytes).

Further, in the present embodiment, some data (specific bits) are extracted from the original data so that only the lower digits that affect the numbers after the decimal point are different in the final calculation result of the ratio calculation. Since the ratio is calculated using the extracted data, the approximate value can be calculated without causing a large error, and the approximate value of the ratio such as the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio is calculated with an error of less than 1%. You will be able to do it.

Further, in the present embodiment, the approximate values of the ratios such as the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio are calculated with an error of less than 1%, and the calculated values of the ratios such as the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio are in units of 1%. Since it is displayed with, the ratio of continuous accessory ratio, accessory ratio, etc. can be calculated with an error that does not affect the numerical display of the ratio of continuous accessory ratio, accessory ratio, etc., and is sufficiently accurate. It becomes possible to calculate the ratio of continuous bonuses, bonuses, etc.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the numerical values of the ratios such as the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio are displayed in 1% units, the ratio of the continuous bonus ratio, the bonus ratio, etc. is less than 1%. "0" is displayed as the numerical value of the ratio. Then, in the present embodiment, when the final calculation result of the ratio calculation is less than 1% in such a display specification, the ratio of the continuous accessory ratio, the accessory ratio, etc. is set to 0% without performing the ratio calculation. Therefore, the process can be simplified.

Further, in the present embodiment, the ratio display device 327 is provided on the main board 10, the main board 10 provided with the ratio display device 327 is housed in the board case 350, and the board case 350 is provided on the main board 10. The display of the ratio display device 327 is installed in the housing so that it can be visually recognized from the front with the upper front door UD open, and the ratio display device 327 has an advantageous section stay ratio, accessory ratio, and continuous accessory ratio. By opening the upper front door UD in order to display predetermined game information such as, a clerk of a game store or the like can obtain predetermined game information.

Further, in the present embodiment, for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonuses paid out, and the number of bonuses paid out, the cumulative total of 6000 games and the total number of games are stored, and the continuous combination of 6000 games or the total number of games is stored. In order to calculate the object ratio and the accessory ratio and display the calculated numerical value of the continuous accessory ratio and the numerical value of the accessory ratio on the ratio display device 327, the actual numerical value of the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio in 6000 games. , And the actual numerical values of the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the total number of games can be obtained. Here, it is desired to keep the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio within a certain range, and according to the present embodiment, the actual values of the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio can be obtained. Therefore, it becomes possible to check whether or not the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio are within a certain range. In particular, in the present embodiment, the continuous accessory ratio is designed to be equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 60%), and the accessory ratio is also set to be equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 70%). Because it is designed to be, it is possible to check whether or not the actual value of the continuous winning combination ratio in 6000 games or the total number of games is less than or equal to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 60%). , It becomes possible to check whether or not the actual numerical value of the bonus ratio in the 6000 games or the total number of games is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 70%).

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the normal section, the section is shifted to the advantageous section based on the winning of the AT lottery, and the AT state can be stayed only in the advantageous section. In the advantageous section, the clear counter 196 was updated and the stored value of the clear counter 196 reached the threshold value, and the end lottery was won even if the stored value of the clear counter 196 did not reach the threshold value. However, if the effect state is the AT state at the end of the advantageous section, the end condition of the AT state based on the storage value of the AT end determination counter 195 is not satisfied. However, since the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization process that initializes the production state to the non-AT state, the amount of medals that can be obtained in the assist time game (game in the AT state) is limited. It becomes possible to suppress the shooting property.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT state is kept only in the case of the advantageous section and the shotability is suppressed by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section, but the advantage section stay ratio should be set high. It is possible to increase the length of stay in the AT state as the time goes by, which may result in increased shooting performance. Therefore, it is desired to keep the ratio of staying in the advantageous section within a certain range, which is advantageous in this embodiment. The section stay ratio is designed to be less than or equal to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%). And in the specification like this embodiment, for example, when a medal is won in the AT state by a fraudulent act such as winning a role that triggers the execution of the AT lottery or the additional lottery by an illegal method, the advantageous section stay ratio Is assumed to exceed a predetermined upper limit (for example, 70%), so from the viewpoint of preventing fraudulent activity, the gaming machine itself aggregates the number of games played and the number of games played in the advantageous section, and the ratio of staying in the advantageous section is constant. It is desired to be able to check whether or not it is within the range of, and according to the present embodiment, the total number of games and the total number of games in the advantageous section are stored and the advantage section stay ratio is calculated. Since the calculated value of the advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the ratio display device 327, the actual value of the advantageous section stay ratio can be obtained, and whether or not the advantageous section stay ratio is within a certain range. Specifically, it becomes possible to check whether or not the actual numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 70%).

Further, in the present embodiment, the power is turned on with the calculated numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio, the numerical value of the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the game 6000 times, and the numerical value of the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the total number of games. Since the ratio display device 327 always keeps displaying in a cyclical manner during the state of, the actual value of the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in 6000 games are always displayed by opening the upper front door UD. It becomes possible to obtain the actual numerical value, the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games played, and the actual numerical value of the bonus ratio.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main board 10 controls the progress of the game, and such a control board is a type of the National Public Safety Commission's designated testing organization, the Security Communication Association, the so-called Hotsukyo. It is the subject of the test. Then, in the present embodiment, the ratio display device 327 that displays the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio, the numerical value of the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the game 6000 times, and the numerical value of the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the total number of games. Is a device controlled by the main board 10 that is the subject of the so-called Hotsukyo type test, so the display contents of the ratio display device 327 (values of advantageous section stay ratio, continuous accessory ratio, and accessory ratio) You will be able to increase certainty.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the ratio display device 327 is housed in the board case 350 together with the main board 10 and sealed, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts against the ratio display device 327 as much as possible, and the display content of the ratio display device 327 ( It becomes possible to further increase the certainty of the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous accessory ratio, and the numerical value of the accessory ratio).

Further, in the present embodiment, every time the game is played 400 times, the cumulative total and the total cumulative total of 15 sets are updated for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts, and then the continuous bonus ratio. And, in order to calculate the bonus ratio, the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio can be calculated based on the latest data, and the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio can be calculated at an appropriate timing. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, 15 sets of individual storage means for individually storing 15 sets of 400 games and one set for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonuses paid out, and the number of bonuses paid out for each 400 games. With 199 as a ring buffer configuration, after 6000 games have passed, 15 sets of individual storage means 199 are stored so as to overwrite the latest data with the previously stored data every 400 games. Therefore, it becomes possible to calculate the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the latest 6000 games.

Further, in the present embodiment, every time one game is played, the total number of games is updated and, in the case of an advantageous section, the total number of games in the advantageous section is updated, and then the advantageous section stay ratio is performed. Therefore, the advantageous section stay ratio can be calculated based on the latest data, and the advantageous section stay ratio can be calculated at an appropriate timing.

Further, in the present embodiment, 400 times cumulative storage means 198, 15 sets individual cumulative storage means 19, 15 sets cumulative storage means 200, total cumulative storage means 201, ratio storage means 202, total game count counter 203, and advantageous section game. The number counter 204 retains data without being initialized by an operation on the operating means provided in the game machine, and even if the set value is changed, the data is retained without being initialized, and the power is turned on / off. Since the data is retained without being initialized, the number of games, the number of games in the advantageous section, the number of payouts, and the number of continuous bonus payouts are cumulative even if the set value is changed or the power is turned on / off. , And the number of bonuses paid out can be counted, and a sufficient amount of data can be aggregated for the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous bonuses ratio, and the bonuses ratio to converge.

Further, in the present embodiment, the threshold value of the clear counter 196, which is the end condition of the advantageous section, is set to "1501" corresponding to the number of games for 1500 times, but the threshold value of the clear counter 196 is a medal in the advantageous section. The number of medals won (the difference between the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out) can be set to a value that is assumed not to exceed a predetermined number, and in this embodiment, the number of medals won in the advantageous section exceeds 3000. It is set to a value that is not expected to exist. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 196 is a value corresponding to the number of games calculated by 3000 sheets / inclination value. Here, the slope value is the net increase in the number of medals per game (including the number of medals acquired by the bonus) in the RT3 state when it is assumed that the small winning combination with the maximum payout is always acquired for the winning small winning combination. In the present embodiment, 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 196 with the transition to the advantageous section. The threshold value is set to "1501" 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.

3. 3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be performed. Modifications will be introduced below. The above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as control methods for realizing the present invention.

In the above embodiment, there are three types of storage areas of the 15-set cumulative storage means 200 (a storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets of payouts, a storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets of continuous bonus payouts, and a bonus. The storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets of payouts) is composed of 3B (bytes), but the first storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets of payouts is 3B (bytes) or more. It may be configured, and the second storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets of continuous bonus payouts and the third storage area for storing the cumulative total of 15 sets of bonus payouts are 2B (bytes). ) Any of the above may be used. That is, the data of the 15-set payout variable B1 stored in the first storage area may be composed of 3B (bytes) or more, and the 15-set continuous accessory variable stored in the second storage area. The data of B2 and the data of the 15-set accessory variable B3 stored in the third storage area may be composed of any of 2B (bytes) or more.

Similarly, the three types of counters (total cumulative first counter 201a, total cumulative second counter 201b, and total cumulative third counter 201c) of the total cumulative storage means 201 are each composed of 3B (bytes). The total cumulative first counter 201a may be composed of 3B (bytes) or more, and the total cumulative second counter 201b and the total cumulative third counter 201c may be composed of any of 2B (bytes) or more. You may do so. That is, the data of the payout variable C1 stored in the total cumulative first counter 201a may be composed of 3B (bytes) or more, and the continuous accessory variable C2 stored in the total cumulative second counter 201b may be composed of 3B (bytes) or more. The data and the data of the accessory variable C3 stored in the total cumulative third counter 201c may be composed of any of 2B (bytes) or more.

Similarly, the total number of games counter 203 and the advantageous section game number counter 204 are each composed of 3B (bytes), but the total number of games counter 203 may be composed of 3B (bytes) or more. , The advantageous section game count counter 204 may be configured as long as it is 2B (bytes) or more. That is, the data of the total game count variable A1 stored in the total game count counter 203 may be composed of 3B (bytes) or more, and the advantageous section game count variable stored in the advantageous section game count counter 204 may be composed. The data of A2 may be composed of any of 2B (bytes) or more.

Further, in the above embodiment, the identification symbols and numerical values such as the advantageous section stay ratio are sequentially displayed on the ratio display device 327 based on the fact that the power is turned on. Identification code and numerical value such as advantageous section stay ratio based on the opening of the front door UD or the lower front door DD (based on the detection of the opening of the upper front door UD or the lower front door DD by the door sensor 270). May be started and the display of the identification symbol and the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio may be ended based on the fact that the upper front door UD or the lower front door DD is closed.

Further, for example, the setting change button 280 was pressed between the time when the winning determination process was performed and the result of the game was confirmed until the medal was set to the inserted state for the next game (during non-game). Based on this, the display of the identification symbol and numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio is started, and the identification symbol and numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio are displayed based on the fact that the upper front door UD or the lower front door DD is closed. You may end it. Specifically, in the above embodiment, it is necessary to open the lower front door DD in order to operate the setting change button 280, and when the lower front door DD is opened while the power is on, the gaming machine Is controlled to the error state, and the error type is set to the door open error on condition that no error other than the door open error has occurred. In the gaming machine of the above embodiment, as errors, in addition to the door opening error due to the opening of the lower front door DD, the hopper empty error due to the loss of medals in the hopper unit 320, and the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot MI are detected. There is a selector error due to the medal being jammed in the selector (not shown), and other errors are prioritized over the door opening error, and multiple types of errors including the door opening error occur. If so, it will not be set as a door open error unless other errors are resolved. Then, in this example, the identification symbol and the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio are based on the fact that the setting change button 280 is pressed when the error type is set to the door open error in the error state during non-game. May be started and the display of the identification symbol and the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio may be ended based on the fact that the upper front door UD or the lower front door DD is closed. Note that this example is not limited to the operation of the setting change button 280, and for example, the start lever SL, the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the bet button B0 in an error state based on the opening of the lower front door DD during non-game. Alternatively, the display of the advantageous section stay ratio or the like may be started based on the operation of the settlement button for settlement of the credited medal. Further, in this example, each time the setting change button 280 or the like is operated, the display may be switched in order from the identification symbol and the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio in the order shown in FIG. Further, in this example, the upper front door UD or the lower front door DD is opened while the power is turned on, or the error type is set to door open error in the error state during non-game. In this case, the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the 6000 games or the total number of games are calculated based on the operation of the predetermined operation means (for example, the setting change button 280, etc.). You may do it.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the final calculation result of the ratio calculation is less than 1%, the ratio of the advantageous section stay ratio or the like is set to 0% without performing the ratio calculation, but the ratio is not limited to 0%. For example, it may be set to 1% (another example of a predetermined predetermined value).

Further, in the above embodiment, the ratio display device 327 provided on the main board 10 is used to display identification symbols and numerical values such as the advantageous section stay ratio, but the credit table is a device in which the main board 10 controls the operation. It may be displayed on the CD, the payout display PO, or the bonus display BS. For example, a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio may be displayed on the payout display unit PO (another example of the display device), and an identification symbol such as an advantageous section stay ratio may be displayed on the credit display unit CD. In this example, in order from the identification symbol and the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio based on the operation for a predetermined operation means (for example, the setting change button 280, etc.) in the error state based on the door opening error during non-game. Identification symbols and numerical values such as the advantageous section stay ratio are periodically displayed in the order shown in FIG. 22, and each time the display time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses, the payout display unit PO and the credit display unit are displayed in the order shown in FIG. The display of the PO may be switched, and the display of the identification symbol and the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio may be terminated based on the closing of the lower front door DD. Further, for example, the identification symbol and the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio may be displayed on the credit display unit CD (another example of the display device). In this example, based on the fact that the operation for a predetermined operation means (for example, the setting change button 280, etc.) is performed in the error state based on the door opening error during non-game, “the identification symbol of the advantageous section stay ratio → advantageous”. Numerical value of section stay ratio → Identification symbol of continuous character ratio in 6000 games → Numerical value of continuous character ratio in 6000 games → Identification symbol of character ratio in 6000 games → Numerical value of character ratio in 6000 games → Identification symbol of continuous bonus ratio in total number of games → Numerical value of continuous bonus ratio in total number of games → Identification symbol of bonus ratio in total number of games → Numerical value of bonus ratio in total number of games → Identification of advantageous section stay ratio The identification symbols and numerical values such as the advantageous section stay ratio are displayed cyclically in the order of "symbol → ...", and the credit display unit PO is displayed in the above-mentioned order each time the display time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses. The display of the identification symbol and the numerical value such as the advantageous section stay ratio may be terminated based on the switching and the closing of the lower front door DD. In these examples, the advantageous section stay ratio, 6000 games, or The continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in the total number of games may be calculated.

Further, in the above embodiment, the ratio display device 327 is provided on the main board 10, but a board on which the ratio display device 327 is mounted (hereinafter referred to as a ratio display device board) is provided separately from the main board 10, and the main board 10 is provided. And the ratio display device board is connected by a harness, and the main board 10, the ratio display device board on which the ratio display device 327 is mounted, and the harness connecting these boards are stored in the board case 350 and sealed. good.

Further, in the above embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are provided as bonuses, but the regular bonus (RB), the challenge bonus (CB), and the single bonus (SB) are provided as bonuses. May be good. Further, in the above embodiment, the regular big bonus (RBB) operates continuously regardless of the display of the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the regular bonus (RB), and the challenge big bonus (CBB). The challenge bonus (CB) was activated continuously regardless of the display of the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the challenge bonus (CB), but as a regular big bonus (RBB), the regular bonus (RB) was included in the bonus. ) Is drawn and a symbol combination indicating the winning form of the regular bonus (RB) is displayed, a second regular big bonus (RBB2) that activates the regular bonus (RB) may be provided, or a challenge big bonus The second challenge big bonus (CBB2) that activates the challenge bonus (CB) when a symbol combination indicating the winning form of the challenge bonus (CB) is displayed by drawing a challenge bonus (CB) during the bonus as (CBB). May be provided.

Hereinafter, the above-mentioned bonus will be specifically described. The regular bonus (RB), the challenge bonus (CB), and the single bonus (SB) can be the target of the internal lottery in the normal state, and the regular bonus (RB). If you win in the internal lottery, you can carry over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until you win, but if you win in the internal lottery, the challenge bonus (CB) and single bonus (SB) will be from the next time onwards regardless of whether or not you win. It is a role that cannot carry over the winning state to the game. Then, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the RB state, and in the RB state, an internal lottery is made so that a small winning combination is won with a higher probability than in the normal state. Is performed, and it is determined whether or not the end condition of the RB state is satisfied based on the number of games played in the RB state and the number of winnings of the small winning combination, and the number of games played in the RB state becomes a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times). The RB state is terminated when either the end condition of the achievement or the number of winnings of the small winning combination in the RB state reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times) is satisfied, and the game state is changed. Return to normal state. In addition, if the challenge bonus (CB) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the CB state, and in the CB state, small wins 1 to small are forced regardless of the result of the internal lottery. The lottery flag of the winning combination 10 is set to the winning state, and when one game is played in the CB state, it is determined that the end condition of the CB state is satisfied, and the CB state is ended to change the game state. Return to normal state. If a single bonus (SB) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the SB state, and in the SB state, the probability is the same as the normal state or higher than the normal state. An internal lottery is performed so that the winning combination is won, and when one game is played in the SB state, it is determined that the end condition of the SB state is satisfied and the SB state is ended, and the game state is normally changed. Return to the state.

If the second regular big bonus (RBB2) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the second RBB state, and in the second RBB state, the RBB general game and the RB game are executed. In the RBB general game, while setting the winning probability of the small winning combination to be the same as the normal state, the regular bonus (RB) is set as the lottery target and the internal lottery is performed, and the regular bonus (RB) is won and the winning form of the bonus is determined. The RB game is executed based on the fact that the symbol combination shown is displayed on the valid line (regular bonus (RB) is activated), and the RB game is the same game as the above-mentioned game in the RB state. Whether or not the end condition is satisfied by the total number of medals paid out by the RBB general game and the RB game by ending the RB game and restarting the RBB general game when the end condition of the RB game is satisfied. When the number of medals to be paid out exceeds the predetermined number of scheduled end payouts (for example, 300) is paid out, the second RBB state is terminated and the game state is returned to the normal state. If the second challenge big bonus (CBB2) is won in the normal state and the bonus is won, the game state is shifted to the second CBB state, and in the second CBB state, the CBB general game and the CB game are executed. In CBB general games, while setting the winning probability of small wins to be the same as in the normal state, the challenge bonus (CB) is set as the lottery target and an internal lottery is performed, and the challenge bonus (CB) is won and the winning form of the bonus is determined. The CB game is executed based on the fact that the symbol combination shown is displayed on the valid line (challenge bonus (CB) is activated), and the CB game is the same game as the above-mentioned game in the CB state. , When the end condition of the CB game is satisfied, the CB game is terminated, the CBB general game is restarted, and whether or not the end condition is satisfied by the total number of medals paid out by the CBB general game and the CB game. When the number of medals to be paid out exceeds the predetermined number of medals to be paid out (for example, 300) is determined, the second CBB state is terminated and the gaming state is returned to the normal state.

In this case, the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RB state, which is the gaming state during the operation of the RB, is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the RB, which is a first-class special accessory. Since it is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the bonus, it is counted as the number of continuous bonus payouts for calculating the continuous bonus ratio and the number of bonus payouts for calculating the bonus ratio. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CB state, which is the operating state of the CB, and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the SB state, which is the operating state of the SB, are the operations of the first-class special accessory. Since it is not the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, but the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the bonus, the number of continuous bonuses paid out and the bonus ratio are calculated to calculate the continuous bonus ratio. Of the number of bonuses paid out, only the number of bonuses paid out is counted.

Further, in the second RBB state, which shifts with the winning of the second regular big bonus (RBB2), the game machine is not operating in the RBB general game because the first-class special character is not operating or the character is not operating during the RBB general game. The number of medals paid out is not counted as the number of continuous bonuses paid out or the number of bonuses paid out, and during the RB game, the first-class special bonus is in operation and the bonus is in operation. The number of medals paid out by the game machine is totaled as both the number of continuous bonuses paid out and the number of bonuses paid out. Since neither the special character nor the character is operating, the number of medals paid out by the game machine in the CBB general game is not counted as the number of continuous character payouts or the character payout number, and is the first during the CB game. The number of medals paid out by the game machine in the CB game is the number of continuous bonuses paid out and the number of bonuses paid out because the type 2 special bonus is not in operation but is in operation. Of these, only the number of medals paid out is counted. The number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the RBB general game and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine in the CBB general game are not counted as the number of continuous bonuses paid out or the number of bonuses paid out, but the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. It is totaled as the number of payouts.

Further, in the above embodiment, the numerical values calculated by calculating the advantageous section stay ratio, the continuous bonus ratio, and the bonus ratio are displayed, but even if only the continuous bonus ratio is calculated and displayed. Alternatively, only the bonus ratio may be calculated and displayed, only the advantageous section stay ratio may be calculated and displayed, or only the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio may be calculated and displayed. It is possible to calculate and display only the continuous accessory ratio and the advantageous section stay ratio, or to calculate and display only the accessory ratio and the advantageous section stay ratio. You may. That is, when the AT function is not installed, it is not necessary to provide an advantageous section which is a management game section for performing initialization processing. Therefore, the total number of games and the total number of games in the advantageous section are stored and the advantageous section is stored. It is not necessary to provide a function to calculate the stay ratio, and if the bonus and the bonus continuous operation device are not installed, the number of payouts in the 6000 games or the total number of games, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the bonus payout It is not necessary to provide a function of totaling the numbers to calculate the bonus ratio and the continuous bonus ratio in the number of games 6000 or the total number of games, and the bonuses related to the first-class special bonus and the first-class special bonus. When the continuous operation device is not installed, it is not necessary to provide a function of totaling the number of continuous bonuses paid out in the 6000 games or the total number of games and calculating the ratio of the continuous bonuses in the 6000 games or the total number of games. In addition, when only one or both of the first-class special accessory and the first-class special accessory-related accessory continuous operation device is installed, the values of the continuous accessory ratio and the accessory ratio are the same. , Only one of them may be calculated and displayed, or both may be calculated and displayed. Then, in these examples, when displaying a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio, if the function of calculating the ratio corresponding to the identification symbol to be displayed is not installed, the numerical display of the ratio shows the ratio. An identification symbol (for example, "-") indicating that the numerical value does not exist may be displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, regarding the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio, the numerical value in the 6000 games and the numerical value in the total number of games are calculated and displayed, but only the numerical value in the 6000 games is calculated and displayed. Alternatively, only the numerical value of the total number of games may be calculated and displayed. Also in this example, when displaying a numerical value such as the continuous accessory ratio, if the function to calculate the ratio corresponding to the identification symbol to be displayed is not installed, the numerical value of the ratio is displayed in the numerical display of the ratio. An identification symbol (for example, "-") indicating that is not present may be displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the continuous bonus ratio or the bonus ratio in the 6000 games is displayed and the total number of games is less than 6000, the identification symbol "indicating the continuous bonus ratio in the 6000 games" 6y ”or the identification symbol“ 7y ”indicating the accessory ratio in 6000 games may be blinked to notify that the number of games has not reached 6000 times. That is, when the total number of games is 6000 or more, the identification symbol "6y" indicating the continuous bonus ratio in the 6000 games or the identification symbol "7y" indicating the bonus ratio in the 6000 games is lit up (first). When the total number of games played is less than 6000, the identification symbol "6y" indicating the ratio of continuous characters in 6000 games or the ratio of characters in 6000 games is indicated. The identification symbol "7y" may be displayed in a blinking manner (displayed in a second mode or a specific mode).

Further, in the above embodiment, when the advantageous section stay ratio, or the continuous bonus ratio or the bonus ratio in the total number of games is displayed, the total number of games is less than a predetermined number of times (for example, 175,000 times) (advantageous section stay). For the ratio, and the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games and the amount of data that is sufficient for the bonus ratio to converge), the identification symbol "7U" indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, the total number of games The identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous accessory ratio in the above, or the identification symbol "7A" indicating the accessory ratio in the total number of games may be blinked and displayed. That is, when the total number of games is more than a predetermined number (for example, 175,000), the identification symbol "7U" indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, the identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous accessory ratio in the total number of games, or When the identification symbol "7A" indicating the accessory ratio in the total number of games is lit and displayed (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode) and the total number of games is less than the predetermined number (for example, 175,000). The identification symbol "7U" indicating the advantageous section stay ratio, the identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous bonus ratio in the total number of games, or the identification symbol "7A" indicating the bonus ratio in the total number of games are blinking (second). It may be displayed in a mode or a specific mode).

Further, in the above embodiment, when a numerical value such as an advantageous section stay ratio is displayed on the ratio display device 327, if the numerical value of the calculated ratio is less than a predetermined upper limit value with respect to the ratio, the ratio is concerned. Is displayed by lighting (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and if the calculated ratio value is equal to or greater than a predetermined upper limit value for the ratio, the value of the ratio is blinked. (Displayed in a second aspect or a specific aspect) may be made to be displayed. In the above embodiment, when displaying the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio or the like, the numerical value is displayed in 1% units. Therefore, for example, when displaying 70% (upper limit value) as the numerical value of the advantageous section stay ratio. Since the actually calculated advantageous section stay ratio may exceed 70%, if the calculated ratio value is equal to or greater than the predetermined upper limit value for the ratio, the value of the ratio is used. You may make it blink. Furthermore, the mode is not limited to blinking when the calculated ratio value is equal to or higher than the preset upper limit value for the ratio, and the calculated ratio value is the preset upper limit value for the ratio. In the case of the following, the numerical value of the ratio is displayed by lighting (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and the calculated numerical value of the ratio exceeds a predetermined upper limit value for the ratio. The numerical value of the ratio may be displayed in a blinking manner (displayed in a second mode or a specific mode).

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

Further, in the above embodiment, for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonuses paid out, and the number of bonuses paid out, the cumulative total of 6000 games, which is a predetermined aggregation period, is stored, and the continuous bonus ratio and the bonus ratio in 6000 games are stored. However, the predetermined aggregation period is not limited to 6000 games, and can be arbitrarily determined.

Further, in the above embodiment, every time the game is played 400 times, the cumulative total and the total cumulative total of 15 sets are updated for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous bonus payouts, and the number of bonus payouts, and then the continuous bonus ratio and We decided to calculate the bonus ratio, but while updating the cumulative total and total cumulative total of 15 sets every 400 games, the continuous bonus ratio and bonus ratio are calculated every time one game is played. It may be calculated.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a sticker or the like is attached to the front surface of the substrate case 350, it is desirable to attach the sticker or the like at a position that does not interfere with the visibility of the display of the ratio display device 327.

Further, in the above embodiment, every time one game is played, a first specific signal notifying that one game has been played is output to an external device (for example, a hall computer), and 1 in an advantageous section. Every time the game is played, a second specific signal notifying that one game has been played in the advantageous section may be output to the external device. In this way, the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous section can be accumulated and counted in the external device, and the ratio of staying in the advantageous section can be calculated.

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

Further, in the above embodiment, the advantageous section is terminated based on winning the end lottery in the non-AT state, but the predetermined RT without winning the AT lottery after the end of the AT state without providing the end lottery. The transition to the state may be a condition for ending the advantageous section. For example, when the transition to the non-RT state is set as the end condition of the advantageous section, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the valid line in the AT end waiting state, the transition to the non-AT state is performed, but it is cleared. If the stored value of the counter 196 does not reach the threshold value, the advantageous section continues, and the advantageous section ends when the player shifts to the non-RT state by winning one small winning combination without winning the AT lottery. In this way, even after the end of the AT state, if it is in the non-AT state and the RT1 state, it is possible to generate a situation in which the person stays in the advantageous section.

Further, for example, when the transition to the RT1 state is set as the end condition of the advantageous section, when one small winning combination wins in the AT end standby state, the transition to the non-AT state is performed, but the stored value of the clear counter 196 is a threshold value. If the value is not reached, the advantageous section continues, and the advantageous section ends 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, it is possible to generate a situation in which the person stays in the advantageous section.

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

Further, in the above embodiment, when the batting order bell or batting order replay is won in the AT preparation state or AT state, or when the replay is won in the CBB state, the batting order bell (when the batting order bell is won) or the batting order replay (batting order replay). Correct batting order (at the time of winning the batting order bell or batting order replay), specific batting order (first game in the CBB state), or according to the type of (at the time of winning) or the winning mode of the replay (at the time of winning the replay in the CBB state) Game information (identification symbol) indicating the pressing order (second game in the CBB state) different from the specific batting order, game information (identification symbol) indicating the result of the internal lottery, or game information (identification symbol) indicating the winning combination. Displayed on the game information display unit DS, the effect control means 180 notifies the pressing order (correct answer batting order, specific batting order, or pressing order different from the specific batting order) indicated (or suggested) by the game information by the winning auxiliary effect. You may do it. In this case, the game information may be displayed on the credit display unit CD, the bonus display unit BS, or the payout display unit PO in the game information display unit DS while the reel is rotating.

Further, in the above embodiment, the dot-shaped segment of the 7-segment display constituting the credit display unit CD, the payout display unit PO, or the bonus display unit BS is used as the section display to notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section. The advantageous section notification may be executed. Specifically, the section indicator is turned on to start the advantageous section notification when the section shifts to the advantageous section, and the section indicator is turned off when the advantageous section ends and the section shifts to the normal section. The advantageous section notification may be terminated.

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

Further, in the above embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state to determine whether or not to shift to the AT state. However, the CZ state is provided as the effect state, and the AT lottery is not performed in the non-AT state. It is also possible to decide whether or not to shift to the CZ state, perform an AT lottery in the CZ state, and shift the effect state to the AT state based on winning the AT lottery.

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

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

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

Then, the AT control means 175 sets a predetermined value (for example, 8) corresponding to the number of games (for example, 8 times) which is the end condition in the CZ end determination counter 207 when the CZ lottery is won, and plays the game in the CZ state. A constant value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 207 each time. When the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied and the effect state 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 207 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied. In this case, the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 is set to "0". At the same time, the state shifts to the AT preparation state after the end of the CZ state. In the CZ state, the winning assistance effect is performed when the batting order bell is won, but the winning assistance effect related to the batting order replay and the winning assistance effect related to the CBB state are not performed. That is, the CZ state is positioned as a simple AT state.

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

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

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the stored value of the clear counter 196 reaches the threshold value in the situation where the AT control means 175 is staying in the AT ready state, the AT state, or the AT end waiting state. If this is the case, the state is returned to the non-AT state by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section as in the case of the above embodiment, and the stored value of the clear counter 196 becomes the threshold value in the situation of staying in the CZ state. Even when it reaches the limit, it is shifted to the non-AT state by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous section.

Then, in this aspect, as shown in FIG. 26, the process from the non-AT state to the AT state always goes through the CZ state, and the initialization means 177 stays in the normal section as shown in FIG. 27. If the CZ lottery is won, an advantageous section is generated, and even if the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the value of the clear counter 196 is until the threshold value is reached. The advantageous section is maintained until the end lottery is won, and the advantageous section is ended based on the winning of the end lottery. In this way, it becomes clear that the situation where the opportunity to shift to the AT state can be obtained and the situation where the opportunity to shift to the CZ state can be obtained in the advantageous section, so that the interest of the game can be improved. become.

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

Further, in this aspect, the winning auxiliary effect is executed so as to induce the RT state to the RT2 state based on winning the CZ lottery, and the effect state is changed to the CZ state based on the change of the RT state to the RT2 state. In the RT2 state, the game is played in the CZ state, and in the CZ state, the winning assist effect is performed when the batting order bell is won until the stored value of the CZ end judgment counter 207 reaches the threshold value, and the CZ end judgment counter 207 After the stored value reaches the threshold value, the RT state has fallen to the non-RT state or the RT1 state without performing the winning assistance effect when the batting order bell is won (a specific symbol combination is displayed on the valid line. The CZ state may be terminated based on the above), or when the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state even if the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 207 does not reach the threshold value. May also terminate the CZ state. In this example, 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 this aspect, when the hitting order bell is won in the CZ state, the game information (identification symbol) indicating the correct hitting order according to the type of the hitting order bell, the game information (identification symbol) indicating the result of the internal lottery, or the winning combination Even if the game information (identification symbol) indicating the above 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 notified by the effect control means 180 by the winning assistance effect. Good, the game information (identification symbol) indicating the correct hitting order, the game information (identification symbol) indicating the result of the internal lottery, or the game information (identification symbol) indicating the winning combination is not displayed, and the winning assistance effect is not executed. You may.

Further, in the above embodiment, the advantageous section is set as a game section in which the winning probability of a predetermined winning combination in the internal lottery changes, or a game section in which the probability of obtaining a predetermined winning mode in the internal lottery changes. You may. That is, the advantageous section may be set as the probability fluctuation section for the internal lottery. In this case, the winning probability of the bonus may be changed in the advantageous section, or the probability of obtaining the winning mode including the bonus may be changed. When the advantageous section is set as the probability fluctuation section of the internal lottery in this way, the information on the probability fluctuation in the internal lottery is initialized at the end of the advantageous section, but the advantage section stay ratio, the continuous bonus ratio, Information about the accessory ratio can be prevented from being initialized.
