The operation is also described as a first stop operation, a second pressing operation as a second stop operation, and a third pressing operation as a third stop operation.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a predetermined period is set from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed (the time when the stop switch 240 detects the stop operation). By the time 190 ms elapses, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined from the diameter and rotation speed of each reel, and the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable for up to 4 frames before it is done.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a total of five frames from the frame displayed on the effective line L1 at the time of pressing the stop button to the rotation of four frames are performed. , It is a range (pull-in range) in which a symbol can be pulled in on the effective line L1.

When the reel stop control is executed, the reel control means 130 has a pull-in process for stopping the rotating reel so that the winning combination for which the lottery flag is set can be won as much as possible, and the lottery flag is not set. A logic operation to find the stop position of the rotating reel based on a preset priority by a logic operation including a kicking process that stops the spinning reel so that the winning combination set in the established state cannot be won. Processing and table reference processing for determining the stop position of the spinning reel with reference to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 194 of the storage means 190 are performed to stop the rotating reel. The symbol is displayed on the effective line L1 (hereinafter, stopping the rotating reel by the reel stop control and displaying the symbol on the effective line L1 is also described as "stop display").

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the method of obtaining the priority of the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of types of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1. There are a method of obtaining priority (number priority control) and a method of obtaining priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a predetermined dividend for a small winning combination (number priority control). However, when executing the number priority control, if small wins with the same payout are won in duplicate, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win each small win is assumed to be the same. Be treated.

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stop 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 L1 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 195. It is determined whether or not each of the symbol combinations is in the form of winning a predetermined combination. Then, the winning judgment table is set so that it can be judged whether or not a bonus, a replay, or a small winning combination has been won (hereinafter referred to as "winning judgment") by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared. In the following description, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the winning combination is also described as "winning symbol combination".

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when a small winning combination wins, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and when the replay wins a prize. Causes the replay processing means 160 to perform a process of executing the game without consuming medals in the next game, and when a winning combination that triggers the transition of the game state such as a bonus is won, the game state transition control means 170 is used to perform the game state. Is performed.

The payout control means 150 performs a payout process for paying out medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on the predetermined dividend for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are used as the payout device. Control is performed so that the hopper unit 320 is paid out.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the number of medals specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. If medals are allowed to be credited, the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit 320. A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of medals) is performed to virtually pay out medals.

When the winning determination means 140 determines that the symbol combination indicating the winning of any one of the plurality of types of replay combinations described later is stopped and displayed on the effective line L1, the replay processing means 160 stops and displays the winning of the replay. Performs a replay process (replay process) that sets the game to a ready state so that the game can be executed without the need to insert medals for the next game. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a replay wins a prize, an automatic insertion process is performed in which a specified number of medals are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). We wait for the next start operation for the start lever SL with the same effective line L1 as the previous game set.

The game state transition control means 170 performs a process of shifting the game state between a plurality of game states and a process of operating and ending the bonus. Here, as the transition condition of each gaming state, one condition may be defined or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When multiple conditions are defined, the game is based on the fact that any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied, or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. The state can be transferred to another gaming state.

The effect control means 180 is performed by using, for example, an image or video effect performed by using the display device 330 as the effect display device or the sound device 340 based on the effect data stored in the effect control data storage means 196.

Further, the effect control means 180 causes each configuration constituting the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 acquires a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation means 110 for each lottery process using the random number, and a plurality of effect lottery stored in the effect control data storage means 196. Among the tables, each lottery process is executed using the effect lottery table required for each lottery process.

In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 provides the content notified by the winning assistance when the AT control means 200 executes the winning assistance (for example, notification of the correct batting order when the winning area "batting order bell 1" is won, etc.). A prize-winning auxiliary effect to be notified by an effect using the effect device 300 is executed.

The AT control means 200 is based on an advantageous section (advantageous period), which is a section (period) in which an auxiliary game capable of executing a winning assist that assists a winning of a specific combination is executed, and a result of an internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. The AT control data storage means 197 stores the control related to the transition between the normal section (non-advantageous period, non-advantageous section), which is the section (period) in which the control related to the auxiliary game is not executed, and the game is executed. Execute using the data that is being used. The AT control data storage means 197 includes an advantageous section transition lottery table used in the advantageous section transition lottery for determining whether or not to start the advantageous section in the normal section, and an AT state and a non-AT state executed in the advantageous section. Data used in various controls related to a plurality of types of effect states including the above (various flags, counters, etc. set in the ON state or the OFF state by a predetermined control process) are stored.

The AT control means 200 sets the effect state to the AT state (assist time state) under predetermined conditions in the advantageous section, and makes it possible to win a specific winning combination in the main control display device 500 composed of the 7-segment display. By displaying information (an example of operation instruction information) corresponding to the operation order (correct answer batting order) of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, the winning assistance (correct answer batting order notification) for assisting the winning of a specific combination is performed. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning assistance by the AT control means 200 is executed, the effect control means 180 executes the winning assistance effect of displaying the index corresponding to the correct batting order on the display device 330. As described above, in the slot machine 1, in the AT state, the operation mode of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is notified by the winning assistance, so that the auxiliary game (AT game, notification game) advantageous to the player is executed. To.

The AT control means 200 ends the advantageous section and starts the normal section from the next game when a predetermined end condition for ending the advantageous section, which will be described in detail later, is satisfied, and various flags set in the advantageous section. The termination process as a predetermined initialization process, which is a process of initializing information related to an advantageous section such as a numerical value, is executed. Further, the AT control means 200 starts the advantageous section and turns on the section notification unit 500A when the expected value of winning a medal becomes 1 or more by executing the winning assistance. Therefore, the AT control means 200 is configured to be able to turn off the section notification unit 500A even when the advantageous section is started, when the winning assistance is not executed.

The AT control means 200 sets a value "1500" as an initial value in the first advantageous section counter 197a in the game in which the advantageous section is started, and each time the game is executed, the value corresponds to one game. A certain value "1" is subtracted from the value (stored value) stored in the first advantageous section counter 197a, and the game number update process for cumulatively updating the stored value of the first advantageous section counter 197a is executed. Further, the AT control means 200 performs a difference number update process in which the value (difference number) obtained by subtracting the number of medals paid out from the game that started the advantageous section by the number of medals inserted is cumulatively recorded in the second advantageous section counter 197b. Execute.

When the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is controlled in an advantageous section, the value “1” is a value corresponding to one game each time one game is executed, regardless of the gaming state. The game number update process of cumulatively subtracting (updating) to the stored value of the first advantageous section counter 197a and the value corresponding to the difference number of medals are cumulatively updated to the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b. Execute the difference number update process.

Here, in the difference number update process for updating the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b, the AT control means 200 determines that the number of medals paid out in the game is less than the specified number of inputs, so that the second advantageous section counter 197b If the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is less than the value "0" when the stored value is subtracted, the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is set to the value "0". As a result, the AT control means 200 can fix the value when the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b becomes the lowest point to the value "0", so that the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b can be fixed. In the control process using the above, it is no longer necessary to change the value that is the threshold value for determination according to the specific numerical value at the lowest point, and the load of the control process using the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is reduced. be able to.

When the AT control means 200 has executed 1500 games, that is, when the stored value of the first advantageous section counter 197a becomes the value "0" as the first value, or when the most medals are consumed in the advantageous section. When the player has acquired more than 2400 medals, that is, when the value "2401" is reached from the time when the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is the lowest value (lowest point), the advantageous section It is determined that the specific end condition is satisfied as the predetermined end condition for ending the game, and the predetermined end process for ending the advantageous section and starting the normal section from the next game is executed.

In the predetermined end processing, the AT control means 200 initializes all the information used in various control processing in the advantageous section such as each flag set in the ON state in the advantageous section and the value set in the advantageous section. The AT control means 200 can end the advantageous section even when a predetermined end condition (normal end condition) set in advance other than the specific end condition is satisfied, and even when the normal end condition is satisfied. Execute the termination process. The details of the normal termination condition set by the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment will be described later.

<Game state transition control means>
FIG. 7A is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the control related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170 of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the non-RT state is a gaming state (initial gaming state, normal gaming state) corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and the bonus is not activated or established. It is in a non-bonus state. In the non-RT state, the gaming state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

The bonus establishment state is a gaming state in which the winning area "RBB" or the winning area "RBB & 1-card combination" is won in the internal lottery in the non-RT state, and the RBB is set to the established state. In the bonus establishment state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

The bonus state is a gaming state that is transferred when the RBB wins and the RBB is activated. In the bonus state, the game state transition control means 170 determines whether the end condition of the operating RBB is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out, and determines whether a predetermined number of medals to be paid out (for example, 100 medals) is satisfied. ) Is paid out, the bonus state is terminated by ending the operation of the RBB, and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state, which is the non-bonus state. In the bonus state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute the internal lottery using the internal lottery table C.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the internal lottery table C, the winning area "all small roles" in which all the small roles of the bell A to bell L, the 1-card role A to 1-card role G, and the rare role are won, and 1 piece A random number is associated with the winning area "all 1-card combination" in which the combination A to 1-card combination G and all the 1-card combination of the rare role are won.

The bonus state will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the winning area "all small winning combinations" or the winning area "all one winning combination" in the bonus state in which the internal lottery table C is selected is determined by the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table. In B, the probability of winning any of the winning areas including the small winning combination is higher, that is, the probability of winning the small winning combination in the bonus state is higher than the probability of winning any small winning combination in the gaming state other than the bonus state. It is set to probability. Further, in the internal lottery table C, the probability of winning the winning area "all small wins" is any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" in the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B. It is set to a higher probability than the probability of winning one.

With such a configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a higher probability of winning all small wins in the bonus state than in the non-RT state when the bonus is not activated and when the bonus is established. At the same time, the probability of winning one of the small roles is also increased.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the winning area "all small roles" in the bonus state is the probability of winning in any of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" (winning area "winning area". It is configured to be lower than the winning probability of the sum of the winning probabilities of the batting order bell 1 "to the winning area" batting order bell 12 ".

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of specific small winning combinations (bells A to L) set to a batting order larger than the number of input of the game value required at the start of the game are mutually arranged. Multiple types of first small winning combination winning modes (winning area "batting order bell 1" to winning area "batting order bell 12") and multiple types of specific small winning combination are duplicated. It has a second small winning combination winning mode (winning area "all small winning combination"), and the internal lottery means 120 has a plurality of types of first small winning combination in a normal gaming state (non-RT state) and a bonus establishment state. The internal lottery is performed so that the winning mode exists, and the internal lottery is performed so that the second small winning combination winning mode exists in the bonus state. Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the second small winning combination in the internal lottery in the bonus state is one of a plurality of types of the first small winning combination in the internal lottery in the normal game state and the bonus established state. It is lower than the probability of winning, and the winning probability of each small win in the internal lottery in the bonus state is configured to be equal to or higher than the winning probability of each small win in the internal lottery in the normal game state and the bonus established state. ing.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate is less than 100% in the bonus state.

Here, in the state where the bonus is established, when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, and the winning bell A -Since the configuration is such that the bell A to the bell L cannot be won unless the first stop operation is executed at the pressing timing at which the bell L can be won, the probability that any of the bell A to the bell L will be won is 6. Only when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 can be pressed in the correct batting order from the batting order of the type, and the first stop operation is executed at an appropriate pressing timing set within the range of 10 frames out of 20 frames. Therefore, the probability that any of Bell A to Bell L will win at the time of winning in the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Bell 12" is set to 1/12.

On the other hand, when the AT game in which the winning assistance is executed is executed by the AT control means 200 described later, the correct batting order is notified when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won. In addition, the pressing timing at which the bells A to L can be won is notified by the winning auxiliary effect by the effect control means 180, so that the bells A to L can be reliably won. The probability that any of the Bell L will win can be increased up to 12 times compared to the case where the winning assistance is not executed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as a winning combination (specific combination) in which more medals than the specified number of medals to be awarded are paid out when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation is appropriate. , Bell A to Bell L are set. Then, the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the bonus state is compressed to about 1/12 of the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the gaming state other than the bonus state. With this configuration, an internal lottery is performed with a mode in which N types of specific roles are won without overlapping each other in a game state other than the bonus state, and N types of specific roles are won in duplicate in the bonus state. The probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a bonus state will be reduced to about 1 / N of the probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a gaming state other than the bonus state. Can be compressed. As a result, the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state can be lowered to less than 100%, and then the medal acquisition performance related to the AT game can be designed. The degree of freedom in design can be dramatically improved.

<AT control means>
FIG. 7B is a state transition diagram showing details of a normal section and an advantageous section controlled by the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment and an effect state controlled during the advantageous section.

As described above, the normal section is a period during which control regarding the auxiliary game based on the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 is not executed. The AT control means 200 is a lottery for determining whether or not to end the normal section and start the advantageous section based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 in the game in the normal section. To execute.

In the advantageous section lottery, first, the AT control means 200 receives data from the AT control data storage means 197 in which "start of advantageous section" and "loss (unwinning)" are associated with each of the plurality of random numbers. Acquire the advantageous section transition lottery table which is a table. Then, the AT control means 200 acquires a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous section transition lottery table, and determines whether or not to start the advantageous section based on the comparison result.

The AT control means 200 multiplies the winning probability of the winning area won in the internal lottery and the winning probability of "start of the advantageous section" in the advantageous section lottery so that the probability is 1/17500 or more. To execute.

The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment has a winning area "batting order bell 1" to a winning area "batting order bell 12", a winning area "rare role", a winning area "normal replay 1", and a winning area in an internal lottery in a non-RT state. "Rare replay", winning area "RBB & 1 card role", winning area "Batting order bell 1" -winning area "Batting order bell 12", winning area "normal replay 1", winning in the internal lottery when the bonus is established When the area "rare replay" and the winning area "one-card combination" are won, the advantageous section lottery is executed, and when the other winning areas are won, the advantageous section lottery is not executed. There is. Further, the AT control means 200 executes an advantageous section lottery that wins the "start of the advantageous section" with a high probability of about 1 / 1.5.

In the advantageous section, the AT control means 200 has a plurality of types of effect states, a normal non-AT state and a CZ state, as a non-AT state in which the auxiliary game is not executed, and has an AT state in which the auxiliary game can be executed. is doing. Further, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the stay ratio of the advantageous section in the entire game can be 70% or more.

The normal non-AT state is an effect state (normal effect state) corresponding to the normal state among a plurality of types of effect states, which is set when the state has not shifted to another effect state. When the effect state shifts to the normal non-AT state, the AT control means 200 sets the value "700" as an initial value in the normal non-AT game number counter (not shown) that counts the number of games in the normal non-AT state. The AT control means 200 executes a decrement update in which the stored value of the normal non-AT game number counter is subtracted by the value "1" corresponding to one game each time the game is executed in the normal non-AT state. Then, the AT control means 200 determines that the transition condition to the CZ state is satisfied when the stored value of the normal non-AT game number counter becomes the value "0", and changes the effect state from the normal non-AT state to the CZ. Move to the state.

Further, the AT control means 200 draws a lottery as to whether or not to determine the transition to the AT state in the case where the winning area "rare role" is won in the internal lottery and the case where the winning area "rare replay" is won. Execute the AT lottery during normal times. When the "transition to the AT state" is won in the normal AT lottery, the AT control means 200 determines that the transition condition to the AT state (AT transition condition) is satisfied, and changes the effect state from the normal non-AT state to the AT. Move to the state.

The CZ state is a production state in which the probability of shifting to the AT state in which the winning assistance, which is an advantageous privilege for the player, is executed is higher than that in the normal non-AT state, and is more advantageous than the normal non-AT state. At the start of the CZ state, the AT control means 200 sets a value (for example, 32 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the CZ game number counter (not shown) of the AT control data storage means 197, and the game is executed. Each time, the decrement update is executed by subtracting the stored value of the CZ game number counter by the value "1" corresponding to one game.

The AT control means 200 is configured to execute an AT lottery during CZ in which a lottery is made to determine whether or not to determine the transition to the AT state in the game in which the CZ state is started. When the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery during the CZ, the AT control means 200 shifts the effect state from the CZ state to the AT state after the game of 32 games is executed from the start of the CZ state. On the other hand, if the "transition to the AT state" is not won in the AT lottery during the CZ, the AT control means 200 ends the CZ state after the game of 32 games is executed from the start of the CZ state. When the AT control means 200 ends the CZ state in a state where the AT transition condition is not satisfied, the AT control means 200 determines that the normal end condition is satisfied among the end conditions of the advantageous section, terminates the advantageous section, and starts from the next game. Executes a predetermined end process to start the interval.

In the CZ medium AT lottery, the AT control means 200 has a higher probability of winning the "transition to the AT state" than the normal medium AT lottery executed in the normal non-AT state, regardless of the result of the internal lottery. Execute. Further, in the CZ middle AT lottery, the AT control means 200 wins the "transition to the AT state" by the winning area won in the internal lottery by acquiring the lottery table with reference to the winning area won in the internal lottery. It is configured so that the probability of doing it changes. When the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "rare role" or the winning area "rare replay" in the internal lottery, the AT control means 200 wins the "transition to the AT state" with a higher probability than the case where the other winning areas are won. Get a possible lottery table.

In this way, in the game at the start of the CZ state, the CZ medium AT lottery that can be won in the "transition to the AT state" is executed regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and the internal lottery is performed for the CZ medium AT lottery. If you win the winning area "rare role" or the winning area "rare replay", you can win the "transition to AT state" with a higher probability than if you win the other winning areas. It is configured as a more advantageous production state for the player than the normal non-AT state, which may be determined as "transition to AT state" only when the area "rare role" or the winning area "rare replay" is won. ing.

Further, the AT control means 200 is different from the transition to the AT state in the game in which the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery during the CZ, and the game of 32 games is executed until the CZ state ends. Execute a privilege grant lottery related to the grant of another privilege. The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment adds an initial value set in an AT game number counter (not shown) that counts the period during which the AT state continues at the start of the AT state transitioning from the CZ state as a privilege grant lottery. Execute a lottery (lottery to add the number of initial games) to determine the value to be (added) by lottery.

The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment wins the "transition to the AT state" in the AT lottery during CZ, and executes the privilege granting lottery in each game until the game of 32 games is executed and the CZ state ends. do. In addition, the AT control means 200 wins the "transition to the AT state" in the AT lottery during CZ, and among the games until the game of 32 games is executed and the CZ state ends, the winning area "rare" in the internal lottery. When the winning combination or the winning area "rare replay" is won, the privilege granting lottery may be executed, that is, the privilege granting lottery may be executed with reference to the winning area won in the internal lottery. In addition, the privilege granted based on the result of the privilege grant lottery is not limited to the addition of the initial number of games in the AT state, but is the number of executions of one set of AT states from the establishment of the start condition to the establishment of the end condition. Addition (addition to the number of sets) may be used, and the specific content of the privilege is not limited to this embodiment.

The AT state is a state in which an auxiliary game in which winning assistance is executed can be executed. In the AT state, the AT control means 200 is configured to be able to execute winning assistance based on winning in the winning area where the winning combination changes depending on the batting order of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. ing. Here, the roles (specific roles) in which the probability of winning is increased by the winning assistance are the winning areas "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" in the bonus established state, from bell A to bell L at the time of winning. The AT control means 200 causes the main control display device 500 to display a display notifying the correct batting order as a winning aid.

Further, the effect control means 180 of the present embodiment executes a prize assist effect that notifies the display device 330 of the correct batting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation when the AT control means 200 executes the prize assist. .. The effect control means 180 notifies the stop button for executing the first stop operation, the first prize assist effect index for notifying the pressing timing of the first stop operation, and the stop button for executing the second stop operation as the prize assist effect. The second prize-winning auxiliary effect index to be performed and the third prize-winning auxiliary effect index for notifying the stop button for executing the third stop operation are displayed. The details of the first prize-winning auxiliary production index will be described later.

At the start of the AT state, the AT control means 200 sets an initial value (for example, 50 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the AT game number counter (not shown) of the AT control data storage means 197, and the game is executed. Each time, the decrement update is executed by subtracting the stored value of the AT game number counter by the value "1" corresponding to one game.

Further, when the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "rare combination" or the winning area "rare replay" in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the value determined by the lottery is set in the storage value of the AT game number counter. By deciding whether or not to add, it is configured to execute an additional lottery that determines whether or not to add (add) the period during which the AT state continues.

The AT control means 200 stores the storage value of the AT game number counter becomes “0” due to the decrement update executed each time the game is executed in the AT state, and the storage of the first advantageous section counter 197a in the AT state. The end condition of the AT state (AT end condition) is satisfied when the value reaches the value "1500" and when the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b exceeds the value "2400" in the AT state. Is determined, and the AT state is terminated.

When the AT control means 200 ends the AT state based on the storage value of the AT game number counter becoming the value "0", the AT control means 200 determines that the normal end condition among the end conditions of the advantageous section is satisfied, and determines that the normal end condition is satisfied. Is terminated and a predetermined termination process for starting a normal section from the next game is executed. Further, the AT control means 200 stores the case where the AT state is terminated based on the storage value of the first advantageous section counter 197a reaching the value "1500" in the AT state, and the storage of the second advantageous section counter 197b in the AT state. When the AT state is terminated based on the value exceeding the value "2400", it is determined that the specific end condition among the end conditions of the advantageous section is satisfied, the advantageous section is terminated, and the normal section is started from the next game. Executes a predetermined end process to start.

This auxiliary game in which the winning assistance is executed constitutes an advantageous privilege for the player in the present embodiment, and the payouts (15) larger than the specified number of inputs (3) are set. The AT state, which is more advantageous to the player than the non-AT state in terms of payout of medals by the auxiliary game in which the winning assistance is executed, constitutes the second state in the present embodiment, and controls the normal section, the advantageous section, and the auxiliary game. The AT control means 200 that performs the above constitutes the auxiliary game control means in the present embodiment.

In the program related to the reel stop control for winning a prize, the program capacity can be reduced because it is established only by creating a program in which the first symbol is stopped and displayed on a specific reel.

6. Modification Example In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has bells A to L as the first small winning combination as the specific small winning combination including the second symbol as the symbol of the specific reel constituting the winning symbol combination. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the slot machine 1 does not include the second symbol as the symbol of the specific reel constituting the winning symbol combination of the first small winning combination, and uses the second symbol as the symbol of the specific reel constituting the winning symbol combination of the second small winning combination. It may be configured to include.

Further, in the slot machine 1, for example, the winning symbol combination is from "blue 7-blue 7-blue 7" as a specific small winning combination corresponding to bell A to bell F whose second symbol is blue 7 symbol "blue 7". It has a configured 1-card combination H, and is configured so that the 1-card combination H is duplicated in all of the winning area "hit order bell 1" to the winning area "hit order bell 6", and the second symbol is the red 7 symbol " As a specific small winning combination corresponding to Bell G to Bell L, which is "Red 7", the winning symbol combination has a single winning combination I composed of "Red 7-Red 7-Red 7", and the winning area "Bell 1 in the order of hitting". "-The winning area" Bell 6 "may be configured so that the winning combination H is duplicated.

In such a case, the slot machine 1 has a stop button B1 to a stop button B3 when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won for the 1-card winning combination H and the 1-card winning combination I. It may be configured so that a prize is not won regardless of the operation mode of the above, and a prize can be won when the winning area "all 1 card combination" is won in the internal lottery in the bonus state.

Further, in the slot machine 1, for example, as a specific small winning combination including a second symbol as a symbol of a specific reel constituting a winning symbol combination, the specific winning mode is the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6". In some cases, it has a plurality of small winning combinations, a bell A to a bell F as a first small winning combination, and a single winning combination H, and the specific winning mode is the winning area "batting order bell 7" to the winning area "batting order bell". In the case of "12", it may be configured to have a plurality of small combinations of bell G to bell L as the first small combination and one piece combination I.

That is, the slot machine 1 is not limited to the first small winning combination for the specific small winning combination including the second symbol as the symbol of the specific reel constituting the winning symbol combination, as long as it is a small winning combination that is duplicated at the time of winning in the specific winning mode. Any small winning combination may be a specific small winning combination including the second symbol as a symbol of the specific reel constituting the winning symbol combination, and the number thereof may be a plurality as long as it has at least one small winning combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 has a design similar to that of the second symbol as a display that causes the player to press the specific stop button at the timing when the second symbol is displayed in the display window DW. It is configured to execute an effect of displaying the image having sex as the first prize-winning auxiliary effect index 330a, but the present invention is not limited to this. The effect control means 180 uses, for example, the number "1" indicating the order of the stop operation as the first prize-winning auxiliary effect index 330a using an image composed of the colors of the second symbol, so that the second symbol is in the display window DW. The player may be made to aim to press the specific stop button at the timing when is displayed.

Further, the effect control means 180 uses, for example, an image composed of the number "1" indicating the order of the stop operation as the first prize auxiliary effect index 330a, and the first prize auxiliary effect index 330a to the third prize auxiliary effect index 330a. By changing the background in the display device 330 to a color similar to the color of the second symbol at the timing of displaying 330c, the specific stop button can be pressed at the timing when the second symbol is displayed in the display window DW. It may be configured to make a display aimed at by the player.

Here, the winning area "all small wins" and the winning area "all one-card winning combination" are the winning areas that win the same winning combination as the winning area of the same name set in the slot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment. be.

Of the bonuses RBB1 to RBB4 provided in the slot machine 1 of the above-mentioned modification, RBB1 and RBB2 are the cases where the game in which the first specified number of medals are set to the inserted state is executed in the non-RT state. That is, when the internal lottery using the internal lottery table A is executed, it is a bonus that can be won by being set as the target of the lottery. RBB3 and RBB4 are the targets of the lottery when the game in which the second specified number of medals are set to the inserted state is executed in the non-RT state, that is, when the internal lottery using the internal lottery table B is executed. It is a bonus that can be won by being set to.

The internal lottery table C is in the first bonus established state, which is a gaming state in which RBB1 or RBB2 is won in the non-RT state and RBB1 or RBB2 is set in the established state, and the first specified number of inputs. Is selected when the medal is set to the inserted state and the game is started. In the internal lottery table C, the random number associated with the small winning combination in the internal lottery table A is associated with the small winning combination, and the random number associated with the replay in the internal lottery table A is associated with the bonus. The random numbers that have been played are associated with the replay, and are configured to win either a small role or a replay. Further, in the internal lottery table C, the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 1.5.

The internal lottery table D is in the first bonus established state, which is a gaming state in which the RBB1 or RBB2 is won in the non-RT state and the RBB1 or RBB2 is set in the established state, and the second specified number of inputs. The second bonus is a game state that is transferred when the medal is set to the inserted state and the game is started, and when the RBB3 or RBB4 is won in the non-RT state and the RBB3 or RBB4 is set to the established state. It is selected when the game is started when the medals are in the established state and the second specified number of medals are set in the inserted state. In the internal lottery table D, the random numbers associated with the small winning combination in the internal lottery table B are associated with the small winning combination, and the random numbers associated with the replay in the internal lottery table B are associated with the bonus. The random numbers that have been played are associated with the replay, and are configured to win either a small role or a replay. Further, in the internal lottery table D, the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 1.5.

The internal lottery table E is in the second bonus established state, which is a gaming state in which the RBB3 or RBB4 is won in the non-RT state and the RBB3 or RBB4 is set in the established state, and the first specified number of inputs. Is selected when the medal is set to the inserted state and the game is started. In the internal lottery table E, the random numbers associated with the small winning combination in the internal lottery table A are associated with the small winning combination, and a part of the random numbers associated with the replay in the internal lottery table A corresponds to the replay. It is attached. Further, in the internal lottery table E, the random numbers associated with the bonus in the internal lottery table A and a part of the random numbers associated with the replay are not associated with any of the combinations. It is unsuccessful (missing). Further, in the internal lottery table E, the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 7.3.

In the internal lottery table F, the RBB1 operating state, which is a gaming state that is transferred when the RBB1 is activated and the RBB1 is activated, and the RBB2 are awarded in the game in which the first specified number of medals are set to the inserted state. The RBB2 operating state, which is a gaming state that is transferred when RBB2 is activated, the RBB3 operating state, which is a gaming state that is transitioned when RBB3 is activated and the RBB3 is activated, and the RBB4 is winning and the RBB4 is activated. It is selected in the RBB4 operating state, which is the gaming state to be shifted to the case. The internal lottery table F is set so that the winning probability of the small winning combination is higher than the winning probability of the small winning combination set in any of the internal lottery tables of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E.

FIG. 18 is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the control related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170 of the above-described modification.

First, the transition of the gaming state in the non-bonus state will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, the non-RT state is a game state (initial game state) corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and is an initial state set when the game control means 10 initializes the game state. It is a game state at the time of conversion. In the non-RT state, the game state transition control means 170 uses the internal lottery table A for the internal lottery means 120 when the game is started with the first specified number of medals (3 medals) set in the inserted state. When the internal lottery that has been performed is executed and the game is started with the second specified number of medals (2 medals) set in the inserted state, the internal lottery means 120 is made to execute the internal lottery using the internal lottery table B. ..

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the modified example, when the internal lottery using the internal lottery table A is executed, the winning area "RBB1" including the RBB1 and the winning area "RBB2" including the RBB2 are formed. It is configured to be electable. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the internal lottery using the internal lottery table B is executed, the winning area "RBB3" including the RBB3 and the winning area "RBB4" including the RBB4 can be won. There is.

Therefore, in the game state transition control means 170 of the modified example, when the game is started with the first specified number of medals (3 medals) set in the inserted state, RBB1 or RBB2 is established from the non-RT state. When the game is started with the second specified number of medals (2 medals) set to the inserted state, the RBB3 or RBB4 is set to the non-RT state. It is configured to be able to shift to the second bonus established state set in the established state.

The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that is transferred when any one of RBB1 to RBB4 is set to the establishment state, and the first bonus establishment state that is transferred when RBB1 or RBB2 is set to the establishment state. It is composed of a second bonus established state, which is transferred by setting RBB3 or RBB4 to the established state.

In the following description, the bonus established state in which RBB1 is set to the established state is also described as "inside RBB1", and the bonus established state in which RBB2 is set in the established state is also described as "inside RBB2". The bonus established state in which is set to the established state is also described as "inside RBB3", and the bonus established state in which RBB4 is set in the established state is also described as "inside RBB4".

In the first bonus establishment state, the game state transition control means 170 has the internal lottery table C in the internal lottery means 120 when the game is started with the first specified number of medals (3 medals) set in the inserted state. When the internal lottery is executed using the above and the second specified number of medals (2 medals) is set to the inserted state and the game is started, the internal lottery means 120 is subjected to the internal lottery using the internal lottery table D. Let it run.

As described above, the internal lottery table C and the internal lottery table D are configured to win either a small winning combination or a replay by an internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. Further, as described above, the reel control means 130 is configured to execute the reel stop control so as to win a small winning combination or replay in preference to the bonus, and the winning small winning combination is missed (non-). Even when a winning) occurs, a symbol combination different from the winning form of any of the winning combinations is configured to be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the modified example, once the first bonus is established, the player can easily avoid winning the RBB1 and RBB2 and maintain the gaming state. It is possible to stay in the first bonus established state where a small role or a replay can be won for a long period of time while reducing the operation burden of.

As described above, RBB1 and RBB2 are set as RBBs dedicated to the first specified number of inserted numbers (3 cards), and when the second specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the game is started. Even if the winning symbol combination of RBB1 and RBB2 is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, it is invalid and the RBB1 and RBB2 are configured not to operate. The RBB1 and RBB2 constitute the first bonus in the modified example.

In the second bonus establishment state, the game state transition control means 170 sets the first specified number of medals (3 medals) in the inserted state and starts the game, the internal lottery table E is set in the internal lottery means 120. When the internal lottery is executed using the above and the second specified number of medals (2 medals) is set to the inserted state and the game is started, the internal lottery means 120 is subjected to the internal lottery using the internal lottery table D. Let it run.

As described above, the internal lottery table D has a random number associated with either a small winning combination or a replay, and the internal lottery table E has a random number corresponding to either a small winning combination, a replay, or an unwinning (loss). It is attached. Therefore, the second bonus establishment state in which the second specified number of medals are set to the insertion state is the predetermined number of games compared to the second bonus establishment state in which the first specified number of medals are set to the insertion state. The game state is set to a value in which the lower limit (base) of the ratio of the total number of medals paid out to the total number of medals inserted in the game is large.

When the second specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the game is started, the slot machine 1 executes an internal lottery using the internal lottery table D, so that the small winning combination overlaps with RBB3 or RBB4. In both the case of winning and the case of duplicate winning of RBB3 or RBB4 and the small winning combination, since the small winning combination or replay and the bonus are duplicately won, the reel stop control of the reel control means 130 controls the RBB3 and RBB4. The winning is avoided, and the player can stay in the second bonus established state where he / she can win a small role or a replay for a long period of time while reducing the operation burden of the player.

On the other hand, when the first specified number of medals are set to the inserted state and the game is started, the internal lottery means 120 uses the internal lottery table E in which random numbers are set even for unwinning (loss) to perform an internal lottery. Since it is executed, it is configured to be in a state of being independently elected to RBB3 or RBB4. Here, as described above, the RBB 3 and the RBB 4 are set as RBBs dedicated to the second specified number of inputs (2 cards), and the medals of the first specified number of inputs are set to the inserted state and the game is started. In this case, even if the winning symbol combination of RBB3 and RBB4 is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, it is invalid and the RBB3 and RBB4 are configured not to operate.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the modified example, once the second bonus is established, the player can easily avoid winning the RBB3 and RBB4 and maintain the gaming state. It is possible to stay in the state where the second bonus is established for a long period of time while reducing the operation burden of.

In the modified example, even when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in any batting order and pressing timing in the second bonus establishment state in which the first specified number of inputs is set to the input state and started. , RBB3, RBB4 are configured so that the reel stop control is executed so that the winning symbol combination is not displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Further, RBB3 and RBB4 constitute a second bonus in the modified example.

The bonus state is a gaming state that is transferred when any one of RBB1 to RBB4 wins and operates, and the first bonus operating state that is transferred when RBB1 or RBB2 wins and operates, and RBB3 or RBB4 wins. It consists of a second bonus operating state, which is transferred by operating.

In the following description, the bonus state set by operating RBB1 is also described as "RBB1 is operating", the bonus state set by operating RBB2 is also described as "RBB2 is operating", and RBB3 is operating. The bonus state set in the above is also described as "RBB3 is operating", and the bonus state set by operating RBB4 is also described as "RBB4 is operating".

The first bonus operating state (first bonus state) that shifts when RBB1 and RBB2 win and operate, and the second bonus operating state (second bonus state) that shifts when RBB3 and RBB4 win and operate. Is a gaming state in which the game is started when the first specified number of medals (3 medals) is set in the inserted state. The first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state are RBs in succession regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the regular bonus as the first type special bonus (hereinafter, the regular bonus is also referred to as "RB"). It is configured to work. The first bonus operating state ends when the payout of medals exceeding the first payout number (for example, 100 medals) is executed. Further, the second bonus operating state ends when the payout of medals exceeding the second payout number (for example, two) is executed.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the internal lottery table F, all the small roles of Bell A to Bell L, 1-card combination A to 1-sheet combination M, special small role A to special small role L, and rare role are won. In the area "all small roles" and the winning area "all one-card role" where one-card role A to one-card role M, special small role A to special small role L, and all one-card roles of rare roles are won. Random numbers are associated.

The first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. In the slot machine 1 of the modified example, the probability of winning the winning area "all small wins" or the winning area "all one card wins" in the first bonus operating state in which the internal lottery table F is selected and the second bonus operating state is The probability of winning any of the winning areas including the small winning combination in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E is higher than the probability of winning the small winning combination in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state. It is set to a higher probability than the probability of winning any small winning combination in the gaming state when RBB1 to RBB4 are not activated except in the bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state. In addition, the probability of winning the winning area "all small wins" in the internal lottery table F is from the winning area "beating order bell 1" to the winning area "beating order bell 12" in the internal lottery table A, the internal lottery table C, and the internal lottery table E. The probability of winning any one of the above and the probability of winning the winning area "common bell role" are higher than the total, and in the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery table D, the winning area "all small roles" It is set to a higher probability than the probability of winning.

Due to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 of the modified example has, in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state, the non-RT state, the first bonus established state, and the second bonus when the bonus is not activated. It is configured so that the probability of winning all the small wins is higher than that in the established state, and the probability of winning any of the small wins is also higher.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the winning area "all small wins" in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state is from the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12". Probability of winning any of the area "common bell role" (winning probability of winning area "batting order bell 1" to winning area "batting order bell 12" and winning probability of winning area "common bell role" ) Is configured to be lower.

In this way, in the slot machine 1 of the modified example, a plurality of types of first small batting orders (bells A to L) set to a batting order larger than the number of input of the game value required at the start of the game are mutually arranged. Multiple types of first winning modes (winning area "batting order bell 1" to winning area "batting order bell 12") and multiple types of first small winning combination are duplicated and won. The second winning mode (winning area "all small wins") is provided, and the internal lottery means 120 has a plurality of types in the normal gaming state (non-RT state), the first bonus established state, and the second bonus established state. The internal lottery is performed so that the first winning mode is present, and the internal lottery is performed so that the second winning mode exists in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state. Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the second winning mode in the internal lottery in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state is the internal lottery in the normal gaming state, the first bonus established state, and the second bonus established state. It is lower than the probability of winning any of the first winning modes of multiple types, and the winning probability of each small winning combination in the internal lottery in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state is the normal gaming state, the first. It is configured so that the winning probability of each of all the small wins in the internal lottery in the 1 bonus established state and the 2nd bonus established state is equal to or higher.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the modified example, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate is less than 100% in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state.

Here, in the first bonus established state and the second bonus established state, when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the correct batting order. In addition, since the configuration is such that the bells A to L cannot be won unless the first stop operation is executed at the pressing timing at which the winning bells A to L can be won, any of the bells A to L can be won. The probability of winning a prize is limited to the case where the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 can be pressed in the correct batting order from the six types of batting order, and the first stop operation is executed at an appropriate pressing timing. On the other hand, when the AT game in which the winning assistance is executed is executed by the AT control means 200 described later, the correct batting order is notified when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won. In addition, since the pressing timing at which the bells A to L can be won is notified by the winning assistance effect by the effect control means 180, the probability that any one of the bells A to L will be won is not executed when the winning assistance is not executed. It can be increased up to 12 times.

As described above, in the modified example, as a winning combination (specific combination) in which more medals are paid out than the specified number of medals to be awarded when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation is appropriate. Twelve types of bell A to bell L are set. Then, the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state is compressed to about 1/12 of the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the gaming state other than the bonus state. is doing. With this configuration, an internal lottery is performed by providing a mode in which N types of specific winning combinations are won without overlapping each other in a gaming state other than the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state, and the first bonus operation is performed. By performing an internal lottery by providing a mode in which N types of specific winning combinations are won in duplicate in the state and the second bonus operating state, a winning mode including the specific winning combination is obtained in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state. The probability of being won can be compressed to about 1 / N of the probability of obtaining a winning mode including a specific combination in a gaming state other than the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state. As a result, it is possible to design the medal acquisition performance related to AT games after lowering the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the first bonus operating state and the second bonus operating state to less than 100%. The degree of freedom in designing the slot machine 1 having an AT function can be dramatically improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is set to pay out one card, which is less than the bell A to the bell L and less than the specified number of inserted cards, for the one-card winning combination A to the one-card winning combination C. Not limited to this, for example, the payout may be set to the same number as the specified number of inputs or more than the specified number of inputs.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 sets a value as an initial value in the storage value of each counter or storage means, and decrement update by subtracting 1 at each game execution, or 1 at the time of each game execution. It is configured to execute increment update that adds in increments, but it is not limited to this, and the update method of each counter or storage means may be configured to execute multiplication, division, etc., and is not particularly limited. ..
